Chapter 2126: Chapter 2126: Leaving Thunder Courtyard Chapter 2126: Chapter 2126: Leaving Thunder Courtyard In the following period of time, more and more anomalies appeared in the sky, and true saints were born within many sects.

These true saints did not all come from the Nine Great Families. Some smaller sects or even rogue cultivators, taking advantage of the prevailing wind, have stepped into the true saint realm overnight.

Heavenly Central Lake, a place once praised as closest to the Dao, had for a long time become a wasteland.

However, right in Heavenly Central Lake, a young man sat cross-legged. His aura was formidable and terrifying as if he was on the verge of a breakthrough at any moment.

Next to him stood a young woman. Her beauty was captivating, leaving a deep impression on anyone who beheld her.

At this moment, she was staring intently at the young man, her eyes filled with excitement, as if she were about to witness something remarkable.

Right then, the young man opened his eyes.

He slowly rose to his feet, then gave a light sigh.

“Emmett Middleton.” The woman walked quickly to Emmett, her voice trembling with excitement, “Are you about to have a breakthrough?”

Emmett didn't respond. He reached out his hand and gently stroked her face, his eyes filled with reluctance.

“Ada, thank you for accompanying me for so long,” Emmet whispered softly.

Ada was taken aback. She said with some panic in her eyes, “Emmett, are… are you leaving? I… I want to be by your side!”

Emmett remained silent. He turned his back to Ada and stayed silent for a long time, then let out a deep sigh.

Ada stood by, feeling helpless and extremely uneasy.

“Ada… I'm sorry.” Emmet's eyes grew hazy as if they were filled with mist.

Before Ada could respond, Emmet suddenly reached out and plunged his hand straight through Ada's chest!

The eyes of Ada widened in horror. She looked at Emmet in disbelief and asked in a trembling voice, “Why… why…”

Emmett's voice filled with regret, “This is my Dao, I'm sorry…”

Saying this, Emmet hardened his heart and directly obliterated Ada's primordial spirit.

Ada fell to the ground lifeless, the breath of life gone from her.

Emmett sat there for a long time, looking at Ada's corpse as if reminiscing about the past.

After an unknown amount of time, Emmet slowly stood up, his eyes firm and indifferent.

“It's time for me to show myself…” Emmet murmured softly.

Having said that, he sat cross-legged and immediately started his breakthrough.

After killing Ada, Emmet's Dao reached its pinnacle. More anomalies continued to appear in the sky, clearly signaling a breakthrough to the True Saint Realm.

Emmett sat on the barren ground of the Heavenly Central Lake, the essence of heaven and earth crazily pouring into his body, a blinding light gradually emanating from him, like a dazzling star.

Anomalies continually emerged in the sky: falling stars, surging seas of clouds, and rainbows stretching across the horizon. These phenomena attracted attention worldwide.

The heavenly tribulation began to converge in the sky. Massive dark clouds obscured the sun, as if it was going to swallow the whole world.

After an unknown amount of time, the void slowly dispersed, and an incredibly powerful young man was born into this world.

At the moment of his breakthrough, everyone felt an immense pressure, as if a mountain was suddenly pressing onto their chests, leaving them breathless.

That was the aura of a True Saint, standing above all, declaring his arrival with an invincible posture.

Then, everyone observed the scene.

A young man sat at the lake's center under the flickering anomalies in the sky. He was surrounded by a dazzling radiance, his eyes indifferent and resolute, exhibiting no hint of change. He looked like a deity, transcending the world, standing above all living beings.

After completing his breakthrough, Emmet Middleton looked emotionlessly at everything before him.

He stood up, gazing at the sky, and his seemingly calm eyes carried a sense of determination and profound sorrow.

However, he quickly regained his composure, a tranquility so profound that it was terrifying.

Meanwhile, The Day of Heaven's Mandate was drawing near. Owing to its advent, the Dao was becoming more potent, leading to the emergence of more and more True Saints.

But Sebastian Taylor, who had been the center of everyone's attention, did not break through, and the Taylor family remained silent.

He and Chad Wilson, being the chosen ones of that era, were naturally compared with each other.

By now, Chad Wilson was famed worldwide and everyone feared him. In contrast, Sebastian Taylor didn't make any movement, leading to rampant speculation.

Several days later, a young man suddenly appeared in the Central Province.

In just a few days, he had challenged three True Saints. Furthermore, several sects that boasted their own True Saints were massacred by him alone!

The man was none other than Emmett Middleton, a former acquaintance of Ethan Smith who hailed from Earth. His current power was terrifying–his methods could be described as against natural order!

Moreover, Emmet's methods were unbearably cruel. Every place he passed turned into a barren wasteland. From the elderly who were over a thousand years old to children merely two to three years old, not a single one could escape his ruthless hands!

“Who on earth is Emmett Middleton? He has massacred numerous sects in just a few days!”

“It's said that even the Valley of Annihilation couldn't resist him, and was slaughtered by him alone!”

“What? Even the Valley of Annihilation couldn't resist?! That's a thousand-year-old sect, just like that, it's gone…”

“This era is truly terrifying, who knows how many monsters are born, perhaps we are about to witness a Great Era never before seen.”

The crowd was filled with apprehension, Emmett Middleton's name being pushed to the forefront.

Thunder Courtyard.

Ethan Smith's comprehension of the Traceless Immortal Scripture was becoming increasingly profound. His enlightenment of the Dao was also getting denser, and the saintly aura emanating from his body was growing stronger.

At this rate, Ethan Smith's breakthrough into the True Saint realm would be much faster than expected.

Meanwhile, Ethan's true body was engaged in a game of chess with Dean Garner.

“This era is indeed unstable.” Dean Garner sighed.

As Ethan moved his chess piece, he chuckled, “Perhaps that makes it more interesting.”

“Indeed, after being tranquil for so many years, the competition in this era will surely be more exciting.” Dean Garner agreed with a smile.

Ethan placed down the last chess piece in his hand, then stood up, “Dean Garner, I also plan to leave here.”

“Hmm?” Dean Garner furrowed his brows.

Ethan slowly stood up, stretched lazily, and said, “The world is so exciting, I'm thinking of going out to take a look.”

“Go for a look? The major aristocratic families are currently hunting for you.” Dean Garner frowned.

Ethan merely smiled and said, “I have my plans, and besides… I don't want to be a weakling hiding behind others.”

Dean Garner was silent for a while, then stood up, “Being sheltered in a greenhouse, you can indeed never grow. This also doesn't align with your Dao. Since you've made up your mind, I won't hold you back.”
