Paragon of Sin

>It was her Saber Intent, her will, that brought the saber power to life and under her control.
Behind her were youths with stern expressions pushing forward while wrapped in various astral forces.

Watching from afar, three figures garbed in black robes levitated in the air looking down at these struggling youths.
They were two males and one female, and at their waist was a white-colored scabbard that contained their saber.
On the sides of their scabbard was a single character formed by strange, faintly glowing runes.
They said: ”Solitary. ”

”Not bad, ” One of the men commented.
He had a short ponytail, was rather handsome, and carried a youthful and valiant air about him.

The other man clicked his tongue, ”The one in the front is quite interesting.
Her age is young, her cultivation base is absurdly high, and her bodily talent is quite exceptional. ” Su Mei exuded a light life aura indicating her age was sub-fifty, and her cultivation base was emitting a strange gravitational force that affected the surroundings.
These were indications that she was at the Gravity Emission Phase, the Sixth Stage of the Astral Core Realm.

The man with the ponytail chimed in, ”Saber Intent; Young Age; High Cultivation.
Is she the daughter of the strongest cultivator in the Everlore Starfield? ” The cultivators of the Aeternal Sky Starfield referred to the starfield that Su Mei and the others originated from as Everlore Starfield.
After all, that was the name that gave it significance.

As for the Imperial Heaven Starfield, Tri-Vision Starfield, or Imperial Dawn Starfield, they were all names that were established in the various eras affecting the population.
To them, the starfield had one name and one significance: It birthed the King of Everlore.

”Strongest cultivator? I guess that's possible.
Her cultivation base seems a little too sturdy.
I can't tell her foundation very well.
Curious, ” the other man said.
He was tall, nearly six-feet and a half, and had a slim, lanky figure.
Despite his height and slimness, he had a set of eyes that exuded a dangerously sharp aura.
If one thought his body was fragile due to its lack of muscle definition, they might find themselves losing their lives.

The female was gorgeous.
She had a dignified air and stood in the middle of the two men, clearly having more significance than the two.
She was like a breath of air on a battlefield, exuding thick battle intent and a scent of blood aura.
Despite that, it did little to diminish her outstanding looks that could attract envy from others.

With a pair of clear cyan-colored irises and untainted pupils, she regarded Su Mei.

The man with the ponytail frowned, ”Neither can I.
That's strange.
She's not a Realmlord yet, but she gives me a feeling of danger. ”

The tall, lanky man nodded in agreement.
”There's quite a few strange ones.
Their foundation is far stronger than I expected.
That little girl at the World Sea Phase seemed to have a greater reserve of astral force.
She made it past the 1-mile mark with little difficulty, still staying strong to the 3-mile mark. ”

The girl and Su Mei weren't the only ones to shock the duo, as more than a dozen cultivators stood out.
They were Ascendants.
Wei Wuyin had a certain criteria when selecting or accepting members, and one of them was fulfilled just by the Myriad Monarch Sect's entry requirements: skill and comprehension.

After finding those with sufficient bodily talent, he found good moulds for the Ascendants.
They all experienced the life of having low-quality or higher sixth, sometimes even seventh-grade, alchemical products at their fingertips.
Therefore, their foundation and natural talents have been improved considerably.

This only became more excessive after the Valkyrie had formed, as they were given higher-tiered and higher-quality products from their respective leaders.
Most cultivators at the Astral Core Realm would be lucky if they could refine a single seventh-grade product.
For example, Xiang Ling, a long-standing elder of the Myriad Monarch Sect, had only refined three seventh-grade products in her lifetime prior to meeting Wei Wuyin.
And two of them were impure-quality.

As the Ascendants adjusted to the environment, they revealed their absolute advantage that others didn't have: a strong, reinforced cultivation base.
At a certain point, the leading figures were all Ascendants with Su Mei at the foremost position.

She had already broken past the ten-mile mark!

”This…that's… ” the ponytail man was rendered speechless.
These dozens of figures were far, far ahead of the others.
While the weakest Ascendant had breached the five-mile mark, the strongest non-Ascendant had barely reached the three-mile mark! Furthermore, the former weren't slowing down, but getting quicker!

One must know that the strength of the saber power increased with each mile, exuding outrageously sharp pressure upon the target, yet this was defying this logic.
This exceeded some of their top-tier disciples' showing years ago, and there were dozens!

The two males looked at each other, seeing the distinct light of surprised shock in the other's eyes.
This test measured their foundation and strength relative to their cultivation, but this was a little outrageous, no?

The gorgeous woman's eyes narrowed.
Were this batch of homeless cultivators truly trash? In this new world, they might be able to establish themselves!

However, as she thought about this, Su Mei reached the tall, imposingly wide gate that led to the mountain and her pure black eyes were particularly radiant as she observed the saber in the sky.
As if resonating with something, her Saber Intent started to become unusually active as the air around her body exploded with a saber howl!

Then, saber howls started to echo outwards throughout the world! The giant saber that seemed to overwrite the Solar Star in the sky started to tremble!

The three watched from above and their eyes widened slowly and slowly until they were nearly bulging out from their sockets! Even the gorgeous woman lost her composure, her expression growing ashen with disbelief!

”Impossible! ” The three simultaneously shouted.

Dao Yuwen's figure arrived at the gate, staring at Su Mei's valiant figure as she seemed immersed in her own world.
The saber power in the surroundings were vibrating with increasing frequency, screeching out a call of unfathomable nature! Even the Saber Star above reacted!

”…Saber Heart Intent? ” His words were slowly said, yet the shock was unable to be concealed.

Did he just stumble upon a treasure?!
