"Have I already reached the level where I can summon the true bodies of the Hundred Saints?" At this moment, Conrad Kong's eyes suddenly darted around, his whole face lighting up with excitement.
"You really do love to dream!" Ryan Ling sneered coldly. In an instant, the Hundred Saints broke free from Conrad Kong's control and all turned toward Ryan.
"What the hell is going on?" Everyone around was dumbfounded. The saintly aura, unbelievably, began circling Ryan Ling.
Meanwhile, Conrad Kong still managed to control some of the phantoms, but in that instant, all those projections turned demonic. The faces that had been pure and holy twisted into something utterly grotesque.
Just like that, the so-called Saint Ancestor of Huaxia became a demon in a single move.
But Ryan Ling, on the other hand, stepped right into the Saint Realm!
"Impossible! Ryan Ling, how dare you defile the Saint Dao—you'll be struck down by Heaven itself!" Conrad Kong roared hysterically. Not only did he show zero remorse, he actually became even more unhinged.
"Still refusing to repent? Then let me send this fake saint, who brings ruin to the country and its people, straight to hell!" As Ryan Ling spoke, endless Yellow‑Spring Hellfire erupted, incinerating all the icy cold. Primeval Heavenwood shot skyward, absorbing every last trace of saintly energy, while the God‑Slaughter Halberd in his hand swept upward, slashing through the demonic Hundred Saints phantoms—cracks everywhere!
In that moment, Ryan Ling seemed on the verge of a breakthrough!
Heaven and Earth’s righteous qi rushed back into unity, and his Ten Slashes of the God-Slaughter Halberd burst out in one seamless breath!
"How is this possible? Why can't I stop him?" Conrad Kong was drained, coughing up a mouthful of blood on the spot.
"What the hell is happening? Why is the Saint Dao abandoning Conrad Kong and blessing Ryan Ling instead?"
"How is this possible? Conrad Kong is a direct heir of the Kong Family. Why would the Kong ancestors forsake him and side with Ryan Ling?"
"What the heck just happened? Did you see that? Conrad Kong’s power is fading fast—without his ancestral blessing, he’s basically a plucked wild chicken!"
...
The crowd erupted, everyone shocked to the core!
Just then, Guihai One-Blade couldn’t help shouting: “Ryan Ling is the one who truly embodies the real Saint Dao! He slays invaders, wipes out cultists, cares for the people, and sacrifices himself for righteousness. Only a Huaxia youth like him deserves the title ‘Saint Dao.’ Conrad Kong and his ilk just ride their saintly bloodline, help the wicked, smear the good, spit venom everywhere—they’re not worthy! Our Huaxia Saint Ancestor should be Ryan Ling!”
Guihai One-Blade’s words were so loud and clear they were hard to believe, but they hit the mark—many people found themselves nodding in agreement.
The authenticity of the Saint Dao has nothing to do with bloodline—it’s all about your actions!
What Conrad Kong did was the real stain on the Saint Dao. His ancestors were true patriots—of course they know right from wrong. So at this crucial moment, they abandoned Conrad and chose Ryan Ling!
