Apotheosis

Zen looked around at Saint Viana and the people from the Zhuge Clan, but continued to speak to Saint Zara, "Saint, if someone tries to kill you now, what should you do?"

Hearing Zen's rhetorical question, Saint Zara replied without hesitation, "If someone tries to kill me for no valid reason, I will kill him first."

Zen nodded, "Saint, you are right. Before someone kills you, you kill him first. Do you know where the sword I used to kill Fren came from?"

"I don't know," Saint Zara shook his head. He wasn't there when it happened so he couldn't possibly know.

Even Saint Viana who came in late that day didn't see what happened. Only Zen and Murry knew the truth about what happened that day.

"I will tell you the truth, Saint. The sword I used to kill Fren was his life vitality huge sword. He tried to kill me with that sword, so I grabbed it and stabbed him with his own sword to protect myself. So, with Fren trying to kill me that day, should I have just stood there and let him do it?" Zen asked in reply persuasively.

Doubt flashed on Saint Zara's face. "What you said may be a valid reason for your action. But I don't understand what a life vitality huge sword means."

"Saint Zara, if I may intervene. Fren used the Zhuge Clan's Tier 4 cultivation method called the "Seven Mysterious Demon Swords". He could transform his life vitality into seven swords when dealing with an enemy. But this bloke said that he just grabbed Fren's huge sword. How could one possibly just grab another one's life vitality avatar? This kid is obviously talking nonsense." Angelo stepped forward and intervened.

"Grab someone's life vitality avatar?" Saint Zara asked.

All the Saints present that day hadn't heard of such a cultivation method in this world and how another person could grab one's life vitality avatar.

Looking at Saint Zara's confused expression, Zen shrugged in disappointment. He couldn't believe that the ten Saints in Cloud Sect were ignorant about everything. They didn't even know about the Heavenly Ogre Fist that came from their own Heavenly Library in Cloud Sect.

"Saint Zara, if I may suggest. We should stop this trial now. It is obvious that this bloke is lying. He killed Fren, so he must be put to death!" Saint Viana announced coldly.

Zen said calmly, "I can't convince you with only words, Saint Viana. So maybe I can show you instead."

Saint Viana sensed that Zen was sincere with what he said, but he still felt doubtful that Zen could swallow someone else's life vitality.

Saint Viana had never seen or heard of such a cultivation method or ability to swallow someone else's life vitality.

The saints heard about the Heavenly Ogre Fist and they were present when the unique copy of Heavenly Ogre Fist was put in the Heavenly Library.

However, Heavenly Ogre Fist was rated as a Tier 5 cultivation method and the Saints hadn't heard about anyone who had successfully cultivated the method.

Up to that day, the Saints had

"You've got to be kidding me."

Zen's laughter was so loud that the audience couldn't hear Saint Zara's voice.

He was so reckless, arrogant, and weird at the same time. Saint Zara and the people from the Zhuge Clan were thinking that Zen was insane.

Saint Zara gritted his teeth and roared, "Shut up!"

With his outrage, his roar and life vitality mixed

releasing a purple sound wave that dashed toward Zen.

When the sound wave hit Zen, his laughter stopped, leaving him with grave injuries.

Zen covered his chest and sneered, "I believe that Cloud Sect has a great reputation. But I can't believe that the Saints deal with situations in this manner. I may be inferior to all of you, but I am not as shameless as all of you. You look decent but you can't distinguish right from wrong."

"If you blabber and offend us again, I will kill you right away!" How could a junior speak ill of Saint Zara? This made the saint extremely furious.

But Zen continued to laugh. "It doesn't matter whether I die now or later. I don't easily get scared of any threats." The demonic life vitality in Zen's body flowed out suddenly and dark purple aura covered his whole body.

If Zen could not avoid death today, he might as well give his best to this fight.

"I will make your wish come true today!" Saint Zara pounded the table, and the life vitality all over his body rose immediately.

The saint had a limitless strength and power and if he wanted to kill Zen, there was nothing that the young man could do to escape it.

"Kill him! Kill that ignorant and arrogant man!"

"He will cause more scourge in the world if he stays alive for one more day!"

The people from the Zhuge Clan made noise about killing Zen. Even Angelo wanted to beat Zen, but since Saint Zara did the honor, he could sit back and watch Zen die.

But before Saint Zara could release his attack, a lazy voice came from outside the Commandment Hall, "Why wasn't I invited to the major trial?"
