"How is that possible..."
Zong Yan muttered to himself.
Then, he thought of something else.
Alkaid's understanding and sharp control of qi and blood, to the extent of intercepting a Martial Saint like him and causing the surging power of blood within him to gradually recede, didn't that mean...
There was hardly any secret left about becoming a Martial Saint to him!
He then remembered the bet Alkaid had confidently proposed not long before—if he could reach Martial Saint before the age of twenty, what level of support would Rebirth Society offer him...
Suddenly, his face filled with shock as he looked at the young man before him, "You..."
Alkaid looked up at him.
Zong Yan immediately thought of what Alkaid said during their time at the Dayu headquarters, about completing the three objectives for "Heaven's Chosen" in two months...
The truth was nearly at hand.
"Two months!?"
The Rebirth Society Martial Saint asked with a trembling voice.
"It should be a bit faster than that."
Alkaid said.
The things that needed explanation should have been explained earlier.

Moreover...
When Zong Yan realized he was in a dangerous situation, he did not hesitate to burn his qi and blood, risking his life to fight...
Such actions already merited him revealing some key information.
"Faster than two months..."
Zong Yan, who thought he was prepared, couldn't help but gasp at this response.
Less than two months!
A nineteen-year-old Martial Saint!?
"Really?"
Zong Yan couldn't help but ask again.
"Does it make a difference whether it's true or not?"
Alkaid said.
Zong Yan was at a loss for words.
Indeed, does it make a difference whether it's true or not?
Xie Yusheng definitely possessed Martial Saint combat power!
Zhao Sheng, as a Demon leader, his strength also definitely wasn't inferior to Xie Yusheng.
And they grasped Divine Intent techniques!
He even suspected...
That he was a God Realm Martial Saint!
But this guess was too subversive, and he couldn't dare to contemplate it, only able to speculate that he might be a more powerful Martial Saint.
But no matter the speculation, the fact that Zhao Sheng belonged to the Martial Saint combat power was a reality.
Having slain two Martial Saint level demons...
Could he really reach Martial Saint within two months...
Did it make a difference?
Thinking of this, Zong Yan took a deep breath again and said firmly, "I will report this to the president... Given your achievements today, your 'Heaven's Chosen' title will soon be approved."
"Compared to the so-called 'Heaven's Chosen' title, you might as well hurry up and collect the three hundred billion Red Star Currency that belongs to me. Don't wait until I reach the Martial Saint Realm and the Rebirth Society can't produce the three hundred billion Red Star Currency for a while."
Alkaid said.
"Three hundred billion Red Star Currency, well, the nations can pool that together."
Zong Yan said with a smile.
"Since you're so confident, why not pay in advance?"
Alkaid said.
Zong Yan was taken aback, but then he thought of something.
When they arrived at the Xie Family estate, it was clear that the Xie Family had been scheming for a long time.
Twelve demon lords!
Including Demon Martial Saints like Zhao Sheng and Xie Yusheng, such a lineup could confront the entire Dayu Rebirth Society.
If not for Alkaid...
Heavenly Demon Disintegration is about using the reversal of the Flawless True Body and overcoming the body's instinct for self-preservation with a strong mental will, breaking these barriers, these shackles.
Mad and demon-like, risking everything, not placing any restrictions on oneself, allowing the body's strength to be completely unleashed, exerting strength beyond the utmost limits, until collapse.
Alkaid quietly sensed this secret technique.
At first glance...
It seems to be a technique for fighting to the death.
Reversing the Flawless True Body, overcoming the body's instinct for self-preservation with a strong mental will, breaking the shackles, exerting strength beyond physical limits.
But...
"Breaking the shackles?"
Alkaid pondered.
Shackles, that is, bottlenecks.
In theory, once a bottleneck is broken through, there shouldn't be a second time.
If a person can kill a tiger in extreme anger, that doesn't mean they can't do it in a calm state.
It only proves that humans really can kill a tiger.
The key then is how to ensure one is always in a state of extreme anger, able to exert the power to kill a tiger at will.
From this inference...
"This is not just a Desperate Secret Technique, but also a technique specifically designed for breaking through realms!"
As he pondered how to delve deeper into the "Heavenly Demon Disintegration" and its role in breaking through realms, he keenly sensed something.
He lifted his head and looked outside.
A gentle breeze caressed his face.
The sunlight was pleasant and soothing.
But all of these usual perceptions felt different now.
He immediately focused his mind back onto the branch of the Martial Path.
Rank: Seventh Rank Celestial.
Dao Fruit: Formless, Perception, Point Star, Great Sun Suppressing God Diagram, Divine Descent, Heavenly Demon Disintegration.
The key was the Seventh Rank Celestial, which had only a 1% progress.
For a moment, he couldn't help but stand up.
Breaking through realms was never an empty phrase.
At lower levels, the contest was all about basic strength, speed, and the significant proportion of physical robustness; but as his realm grew, by the Fifth Rank, the Great Sun Suppressing God Diagram already granted him a strong resistance to Divine Intent.
By the Sixth Rank, it even prompted him to consider simultaneously cultivating blood exchange, Divine Intent, and Primordial Chaos.
Now, as his realm stepped into the Seventh Rank, into the Seventh Layer of Divine Demon Body Refining, his initially weak Divine Intent instantly transformed toward "Heaven's Intent."
This transformation, which was originally meant to last for just a moment, stopped abruptly.
It was like an undernourished chicken stopping laying eggs.
Yet the essence of his Divine Intent had indeed changed decisively.
"To replace the divine heart with my own heart; the plan of forging the body with the Heaven and Earth Furnace is no longer just an idea on paper."
He stepped out directly and came to the courtyard outside the hall.
As he walked step by step, his mind followed that special perception...
Feeling the softness of the breeze, the warmth of the sun, the solidity of the earth, the freshness of the flowers and grass...
Gradually, his entire being melted into the fragrance of the flowers, into the warmth, into the softness, and even into this piece of heaven and earth.
At the moment his body melded with the heaven and earth, he clearly felt his spirit progressing toward a completely new domain, running parallel to something vast and majestic.
Unfortunately, this ascension lasted only a moment before he felt his body groaning under the unbearable burden, intense oppression and pain relentlessly assaulting his nerves, disrupting his thoughts, trying to strip him from this state...
That vast and majestic...
"Heaven and earth!"
Alkaid achieved enlightenment.
To replace the divine heart with my own heart!
The tempering effect of forging the body with the Heaven and Earth Furnace!
Blessed is the spirit!
The very next moment, the newly derived Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique was activated and released by him.
The shackles on his body were instantly shattered, and his spirit and will undistractedly ascended, freed from the confines of the flesh.
He was like a third party, allowing the Heaven and Earth Furnace to continuously forge and temper his body, watching as his skin turned blood-red, some capillaries even bursting, his internal organs leaking blood under the strain.
But his thoughts remained incredibly clear, ethereal, and detached, undisturbed.
He could even use the state of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration, which lacked any "instinctual" interference or prevention, to make the most efficient use of the power of the Heaven and Earth Furnace to craft his body, truly breaking free from physical constraints and stepping into the realm that, theoretically, should have taken at least another month to reach.
Martial Saint!
