In fact, with the strength of the Holy Sovereign back then, he was completely certain that he would be able to kill that demon heart outright.
However, at the most critical moment, the Saint was tricked by a mysterious person.
It was because of that trick that the Saint was injured and could not gain the upper hand against the Demon Heart.
In the end, His Holiness could only temporarily seal that demon heart away, and was not able to completely eradicate it!
Back then, His Holiness had also thought that it was possible that the reckoning had come from within the Holy Church, but he could not be sure who the person who had betrayed him was.
Therefore, His Holiness had only given the Bones of the Afterlife to the Twelve, whom he trusted the most, and not to anyone else.
Now, after ten thousand years of probing, the person who had betrayed him had finally revealed himself!
At this moment, hearing Li Nan’s words, Twelfth’s and their faces all turned gloomy, and their gazes all looked towards the Third Lord Saint not far away.
“Third, I really didn’t expect that you would do such a treacherous thing!”
“The Holy Sovereign has treated you well, how dare you betray the Holy Sovereign, you are simply a b*****d!”
The twelfth and the others were all indignant, glaring at the Third Lord Saint in an angry line.
The Third Lord Saint, however, snorted coldly.
“Treating me poorly? Hmph, he never thinks only of himself, why would he ever think of us! We were originally staying well in that cultivation world, and originally, with another ten thousand years, we would have been able to move up a level in our cultivation. But what happened? Because we accompanied this guy to this bullsh*t Realm of True Martial Arts, my cultivation has remained stagnant for 10,000 years! Is this what you call treating me badly?
The Third Lord Saint shouted angrily.
The other Lord Saints were furious.
“Third, don’t forget that it was your own decision to follow the Sovereign Saint to the True Martial Realm back then! If you didn’t want to at that time, you could have not followed over at all!”
The First Lord Saint said with a gloomy face.
The Third Lord Saint felt even more amused, “My own decision? All of us are nothing but dogs raised by his Holy Sovereign, when have we ever made our own decisions!”
“Third, how has His Holiness ever treated us so lightly? This is just your own thinking. You only think about your own cultivation, don’t you forget that if it weren’t for the Holy Father, what would you be now? You are nothing!”
Twelfth roared angrily.
It could be seen that the Twelfth was indeed utterly enraged by these remarks of the Third Lord Saint.
Only, after hearing the words of the Twelfth Lord Saint, the Third Lord Saint directly snorted out a laugh.
“Twelfth, everyone here can talk about me, but you don’t have this qualification!”
The Third Lord Saint said with a hint of mockery.
“What do you mean?”
Twelfth asked with a frown.
“What do you mean?” The Third Lord Saint snorted coldly and continued, “Do you really think that no one else can see that you are so eager to perform, isn’t it because you want the Saint to look at you more? From the very beginning, you’ve been eager to climb into His Holiness’s bed haven’t you?”
“You’re nonsense!”
“It’s just a pity that you’re just a slave girl in His Holiness’ eyes, even if you show off and pander, you won’t get that chance!”
“You shut up!!!”
With a furious roar from the Twelfth, a shocking wave shot up from the surface of the sea and shot hundreds of metres into the air.
At this moment, the anger in the Twelfth’s heart had been completely ignited by the words of the Third Lord Saint!
In fact, not all of the Third Lord Saint’s words were empty, but they were all secrets from the deepest part of the Twelfth’s heart.
Now, these secrets had been brought to the attention of everyone and told to everyone as the biggest joke, which made the Twelfth’s heart extremely ashamed!
Seeing the twelfth’s humiliated look at this moment, the Third Lord Saint’s face was filled with smugness.
“What, are you annoyed and angry? Is it because I have spoken to your heart, is it? Hahahahaha ……”
The Third Lord Saint laughed out loud in triumph.
“You ……”
The twelfth was so angry that his body trembled and his entire body was filled with killing intent.
At this moment, hearing the conversation between the Third Lord Saint and the Twelfth, Li Nan’s face was also directly gloomy.
“Third, you’d better mind your own business! The relationship between me and the Twelfth is also your turn to have a say!”
Li Nan shouted coldly.
At this moment, Li Nan’s body was exuding a unique aura, just as it did ten thousand years ago.
The originally shy and indignant Twelfth also had a flash of tenderness on his face after hearing Li Nan’s words.
In fact, after obtaining the memories of his previous life, Li Nan already had some understanding of the feelings of the Twelfth.
In his previous life, the Holy Sovereign was so transcendent that his seven emotions and desires had almost been completely discarded, so he did not have a true judgment of the attitude of the people around him.
Now, however, Li Nan could clearly tell that the Twelfth Lord had indeed developed love for the Saint, and that this love was very profound!
Therefore, at this moment, when he saw that the Third Lord Saint had made a fool of the Twelfth in front of so many people, Li Nan naturally would not agree to it!
After being chided by Li Nan, the smile on the Third Lord Saint’s face was abruptly curtailed and replaced by a sinister look.
“Holy Sovereign, I advise you to put away this solemn look of yours. I tell you, the reason I’m doing all this is that I’m not willing to be used as a dog for anyone anymore, I want to trample you under my feet forever! From now on, I am the only protagonist in this world!!!”
The Third Lord Saint bellowed, word by word.
At this moment, everyone could feel the kind of ambition and revenge in the Third Lord Saint’s heart.
Those other Lord Saints, too, all had gloomy faces at this moment.
“Alright, no more nonsense! Third, if you ever want to disrespect the Sovereign Saints, you have to ask if we agree!”
As he spoke, the First Lord Saint no longer hesitated, and directly charged towards the Third Lord Saint to kill him.
They, the Twelfth, also followed closely behind, all charging directly towards the Third Lord Saint.
“Boom!!!”
The sound of a huge clash immediately echoed through the heavens and the earth.
These twelve Lord Saints were all in a state of light and shadow at this moment, their bodies all extremely tall, their cultivation and strength, all extremely terrifying as well.
As they exchanged blows, the entire heaven and earth trembled, and even the space seemed to be somewhat unable to withstand the blast of their power, and was at risk of distorting or even collapsing.
“Oh my God!”
As the crowd around them watched these twelve huge light shadows dueling overhead, their hearts were all shocked to the core.
Each of the punches of these twelve Lord Saints had a power that was enough to destroy the heavens and the earth.
To all of them, the fight between these twelve Saints in front of them was already a fight between gods and immortals.
As for them, at this moment, they were no longer qualified to even intervene.
As Li Nan watched this scene before him, his heart was also incomparably shocked.
The strength of these twelve Lord Saints in front of him was definitely something he had never seen before in his life.
It was inconceivable that he would have been the leader of this group of terrifyingly strong people ten thousand years ago!
It was just that at the moment, Li Nan no longer had much of a mind to think about this.
Because with these twelve Lord Saints waging war on top of this Chen Family Island, the entire Chen Family Island had already become a mess.
One must know that on top of the eight great giants, there were also many staff members of the Chen Family, at least tens of thousands of them!
If we were to let these twelve Lord Saints continue to fight on top of the island, then I’m afraid that the lives of all these innocents would be in danger!
“Drag the battlefield to the sea!”
Li Nan directly gave an order to the Twelfth Lord Saint and the others using his divine thoughts to transmit his voice.
The twelfth they immediately complied and really did draw the third Lord Saint out.
With the departure of these twelve Saints, the entire Chen Family island was temporarily quiet, but the thunderous sounds of fighting were once again heard in the distant sea.
Without any hesitation, the crowd flew towards the distant sea.
All of them knew very well that this battle today would not only determine their lives or deaths, but also the future of the whole world.
So, naturally, they would not miss such a battle!
By the time the crowd arrived on the sea dozens of kilometres away from the island, they saw that above that sea, the fight between the twelve Lord Saints had reached the point of white heat.
“Boom boom boom boom!”
With each of their strikes, the entire sea surface was lifted up into monstrous waves.
Even the clouds in that sky were driven by their power, converging together, and within the clouds, thunderbolts were constantly falling down.
This scene before them was a shocking sight that no one had ever seen before!
The crowd could clearly see that the Third Lord Saint was actually the strongest of the twelve Lord Saints.
It was a rare thing that he was able to hold out against eleven leveled Saints on his own.
Even the seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh Saints had all been knocked to the ground by the Third Sage, and had completely lost their ability to fight back.
On top of that, several of the other Lord Saints were also already heavily wounded.
Obviously, even with an absolute advantage in numbers, it was not an easy task for the other eleven Saints to deal with the Third Sage!
At this moment, the hearts of the twelfth and several of their Lord Saints were also extremely surprised.
It was only now that they realised that, unknown to them, the Third Lord Saint’s strength had actually reached such a powerful level!
Perhaps, this was the main reason why he was no longer willing to be subservient to others!
