Chapter 676: Chapter 395: The Only Young Master of the Holy Land!

Beishan Holy Land!

The Great Saint of Beishan, who had intended to pursue Lin Yan, suddenly felt a shudder in his heart.

He returned to the Holy Land, only to see that within its bounds, knife scars had split the earth, transforming it into an abyss.

Numerous buildings seemed to have been completely erased, leaving not even a trace behind.

The lingering Qi Mechanism of slaughter remained, stubbornly refusing to dissipate.

In an instant, the Great Saint of Beishan was consumed with fury, his eyes almost splitting apart with rage.

It was precisely these knife scars that had gravely wounded the Holy Land, causing severe damage to its very essence.

"Had it not been for the grave injury, with the full power of the Holy Land at my command, that little thief would never have escaped!"

The Great Saint of Beishan’s gaze turned icy to the extreme.

Within the Holy Land, the Evil Qi Mechanisms had been nearly eradicated.

The stationed Demon Kings and Evil Venerables of various lineages, along with his four offspring, were all annihilated to the last.

Even those exceedingly ferocious and sinister beings, as well as some with weaker cultivation but exceptional potential and unique origins, were thoroughly obliterated.

Only tens of thousands of members of the Human Clan were left behind!

The Kui Bull clan, inheritors of the Divine Beast bloodline, born with Divine Skills to command lightning and influence celestial phenomena, found their offspring’s lineage to be exceedingly difficult to propagate.

After merging with the Beishan Holy Land, he obtained the secret vault left behind by a former Saint Master of the Human Clan within the Holy Land.

Relying on its formations and the method of blood sacrifices from the Human Clan, he was able to purify their bloodline further and aid the propagation of new offspring.

During his generation, five offspring had been born.

He watched as the Kui Bull clan gradually strengthened under his leadership.

Yet in a single night, they were nearly driven to extinction!

His gaze became chillingly grim as it settled on a certain location.

That mountain had utterly collapsed.

The secret vault lay beneath its base.

Fortunately, the Qi Mechanism of his only surviving offspring still remained, not yet extinguished.

Presumably, it had been hiding within the secret vault and had escaped the notice of that thief... Only, in the collapse of the mountain, the secret vault had been unfortunately buried.

An ill fate turned into a twisted blessing!

Of his five offspring, only the youngest survived.

In the next moment, thunder burst forth outside the Great Saint of Beishan, instantly slicing through the earth and arriving within the secret vault, manifesting as a single-horned Kui Bull.

The scene within the secret vault was one of utter devastation: the formations were destroyed, the mountain stones had caved in.

The Blood Pond had been buried under heaps of rubble.

Yet, above the Blood Pond lay a human figure, his back crushed inward by the rocks, though his cultivation in the Qi Refining Realm and his vitality had kept him barely alive.

Underneath this human figure, cradled tightly in his arms, was a blood-red round egg within which a one-legged Kui calf, its eyes tightly closed, breathed with shallow urgency.

"Divine... Divine Venerable..."

The man seemed to have heard the sound of thunder and, summoning the last of his strength, raised his pale blood-streaked face, trembling as he spoke: "You... have returned..."

His gaze was incredibly complex, a mixture of terror and an indescribable emotion.

But the thunderous avatar of the Great Saint of Beishan paid no mind to the gaze of this human ant, instead focusing all his thoughts on the Kui Bull calf beneath the man.

The thief who had assaulted the Holy Land had destroyed most of the structures on the surface, shattered several mountains, and inadvertently affected the secret vault, damaging its formations.

Sensing that the Kui Bull calf had merely been startled and remained unharmed due to the formation’s protection, the Great Saint of Beishan let out a breath of relief. His gaze then shifted to the human lying before him.

Within the entire Holy Land, it seemed that only this human at the Peak of Qi Refining Realm had survived.

"Was it you who saved the Young Master?"

A streak of lightning shot from the Great Saint of Beishan’s eyes, his voice cold, as he said: "How did you know the location of the secret vault?"

The streak of lightning struck the rocks behind the man.

The rocks exploded, and the residual power of the thunder seeped into the man’s body, propelling the True Qi within him to circulate throughout his body, stimulating his internal organs and fortifying his vitality.

The figure, previously teetering on the brink of death, finally regained the strength to speak.

"This humble one was once ordered to escort sacrifices here and had the privilege of witnessing the Young Master’s true form."

The middle-aged man coughed up mouthfuls of blood and continued: "Earlier, that intruder recklessly stormed into the Holy Land and unleashed a spree of killing. The Young Masters and the Great Kings were all unable to withstand him..."

"My clan’s Divine Envoys, undaunted by death, went forward one by one, but they were all slain."

"Seeing that intruder was clearly here to murder the Young Master, this humble one came to the secret vault ahead of time, intending to escape with the Young Master... but unexpectedly, this place suddenly collapsed."

He glanced at the calf beneath him and managed a faint smile of relief, saying: "This humble one... did not die in vain, as I protected the Young Master..."

The Great Saint of Beishan’s gaze was piercing and awe-inspiring as he scrutinized the man before him with unparalleled clarity.

Afterward, he withdrew his gaze and said: "You are clever!"

Whether this person had intended to save himself through the secret vault or had truly come to protect the Young Master.

At least for now, he had indeed used his mortal body to shield the only offspring left to him.

For now, he had rendered meritorious service.

In the past, the Great Saint of Beishan would not have given him a second thought.

But with his only offspring’s life preserved, his heart was filled with joy, and he refrained from pursuing the matter further. Instead, he said in a deep voice: "You have done well. All the humans in the Holy Land at the Peak of Qi Refining Realm were slaughtered by the thief, and only you remain..."

"You used your body to shield the Young Master, accomplishing a great merit. From this day forth, you shall be my first Great Divine Envoy, entrusted with the authority to gather incense!"

"I bestow upon you a secret scroll of incense rituals. Once your injuries are healed, you shall gather the incense offerings from all the villages and towns of the Human Clan in the Holy Land and present them to me!"

As his voice fell, the Great Saint of Beishan opened his mouth and released a faint strand of lightning, which landed on a rock at the edge of the Blood Pond.

The lightning instantly unfurled, and the surface of the rock cracked inch by inch, revealing words that transformed into a spell.
