Chapter 425 The Ownership of the Saint's Crystal! Each Receives a Reward!
Then, Dao Ancestor Hongjun didn't keep them in suspense and directly proclaimed:
"The Witch Clan and the Demon Clan charged ahead in this war, fighting valiantly against the enemy and achieving remarkable feats."
"The combined achievements of the two races are unparalleled in the primordial world."
"Each is granted a crystal from the saint, and the two races shall decide on its ownership and how to use it through their own discussion."
Having said that, Hongjun waved his hand lightly.
Then, two radiant crystals of sainthood floated down directly in front of Dijiang and Dijun.
Upon seeing this, both Dijiang and Dijun were deeply shaken.
The Crystal of Saints is something that, once refined, allows one to instantly attain sainthood and become a saint.
The two were overjoyed to receive such a reward.
Overwhelmed with excitement, Dijiang and Dijun didn't hesitate and quickly accepted the Saint's Crystal that had fallen in front of them.
"Many thanks to the Dao Ancestor for his generous gift!"
The two bowed and thanked them in unison.
Hongjun remained calm and said indifferently:
"This is what you deserve."
Meanwhile, many powerful figures present were filled with envy upon seeing this.
Those who have not yet attained sainthood are especially envious.
"As expected, the demon race and the witch race have obtained the Saint's Crystal!"
"It seems that other forces or religious orders will not be able to obtain the Saint's Crystal."
"Soon, a sage will be born from either the witch clan or the demon clan."
"I wonder if there will be any individual rewards?"
"..."
For a moment, many powerful figures muttered to themselves.
Earlier on their way to Zixiao Palace, they had already guessed that the demon race and the witch race were very likely to receive the reward of the Saint's Crystal.
The results were not much different from what they had expected.
The demon race and the witch race each obtained a Saint's Crystal.
At this moment, after receiving the Saint's Crystal, Di Jun's eyes gleamed with a burning light, and he was eager to return to the Heavenly Realm to refine the Saint's Crystal.
On the other side, Dijiang of the Wu tribe also showed a sharp glint in his eyes.
The humans, seeing that the demon and witch races had received the Saint's Crystal as a reward, were naturally somewhat disappointed.
In the previous great battle against the Devouring Universe Realm, the human race also deployed all its elite forces and even sought the help of the powerful Zhen Yuanzi.
Unfortunately, in the end, they still couldn't win against the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan.
Niu Ben remained calm, his expression showing no change.
He knew very well that if the demon race could obtain the Saint Crystal, then the witch race would also inevitably obtain the Saint Crystal.
After all, both Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the Primordial Heavenly Dao need to consider the balance of power between these two races.
Only in this way can the subsequent tribulations be propelled forward.
"If I remember correctly, the Dao Ancestor only possessed three Saintly Crystals in total, right?"
"Currently, one has been bestowed upon each of the demon race and the witch race."
"There's only one left!"
"I wonder who will ultimately win this last Saint's Crystal?"
Niu Ben muttered to himself, but didn't pay much attention.
Meanwhile, the other sages were filled with curiosity.
Especially the Western Sect's Jieyin and Zhunti, who had worked extremely hard in the previous great battle, killing many beings from the Devouring Universe Realm.
The purpose, of course, was also to accumulate some military merits for the Western Religion.
Finally, after joining forces with several other great saints to kill the Primordial Corrupted Soul of the Devouring Universe Realm, he went to help the demon race.
In the eyes of Jieyin and Zhunti, if they could obtain a Saint's Crystal...
Then Western religions could gain another saint.
Just as many powerful beings were discussing this, Dao Ancestor Hongjun's gaze shifted.
Upon seeing this, the Zixiao Palace fell silent, and everyone held their breath in anticipation.
Before long, Hongjun's gaze sharpened and fell directly on Niu Ben, and he spoke:
"Bull Bull!"
"During the great battle, he single-handedly confronted the Holy Ancestor and even killed two otherworldly Primordial Chaos beings. His courage and decisiveness were invaluable."
"A crystal is specially bestowed upon the saint to commemorate his merits."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hongjun waved his hand lightly, and then another dazzling light shot out and landed in front of Niu Ben.
Upon seeing this, all the powerful figures present were shocked.
"What?"
"Did Daoist Niu Ben also obtain a Saint's Crystal?"
"He's already a Primordial Grand Luo cultivator, doesn't that mean the Saint's Crystal isn't very useful to him?"
"The last Saint's Crystal was actually given to Daoist Niu Ben!"
"That's true. Killing two otherworldly Primordial Chaos Realm experts is a truly terrifying feat."
"..."
Many powerful figures sighed in surprise, but no one expressed dissatisfaction.
Firstly, Niu Ben's strength is undeniable. In the previous great battle against the Devouring Universe Realm, even though the Supreme Lord and the Six Primordial Saints joined forces to deal with the Holy Ancestor, they were still no match for him.
After only a few exchanges, they would be suppressed and killed by the Holy Ancestor.
At the critical moment, Niu Ben stepped forward and single-handedly withstood the Holy Ancestor's attack, saving the Six Saints.
Secondly, Niu Ben's military achievements were indeed considerable, having successively killed the Otherworldly Primordial Corpse Erosion and Spirit Devouring.
In everyone's eyes, Niu Ben's reward of a Saint's Crystal was well-deserved.
Upon seeing this, Taishang nodded slightly, a smug smile on his face.
Niu Ben was his eldest disciple, and he was naturally pleased that Niu Ben had obtained the Saint's Crystal.
At the same time, both Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu had smiles on their faces.
They had always treated Niu Ben, their junior apprentice, as their own personal disciple.
The Sage Nuwa smiled and did not find anything wrong with the Dao Ancestor's distribution.
On the contrary, the Western Sect's Jieyin and Zhunti looked rather grim after the Dao Ancestor bestowed the last Saint Crystal upon Niu Ben.
"hateful!"
"How could it have been given to him?"
Zhunti was secretly resentful. He had originally thought that, given his and Jieyin's performance in the great battle, the last Saint Crystal should be given to their fellow disciples.
Who would have thought that it would be given to Niu Ben?
The guide's face was full of sorrow, but there was nothing he could do.
During their great battle, he and Zhunti slew many beings from the Devouring Universe Realm.
However, compared to that, it is not crucial and is far less significant than Niu Ben's feat of killing two otherworldly Primordial beings.
Besides, if Niu Ben hadn't intervened in time, these saints might have already been killed by the Holy Ancestor.
Now that the Dao Ancestor has bestowed the last Saint's Crystal upon Niu Ben, it is not unreasonable.
Although he was very unwilling, Jieyin dared not say anything.
"Oh?"
At the same time, Niu Ben was also surprised when he heard the news.
Just now, he was wondering who would get the last Saint Crystal, but unexpectedly, it was given to him!
Surprised, Niu Ben came to his senses and, without any hesitation, directly took the Saint Crystal.
"Many thanks to the Dao Ancestor for his generous gift!"
Niu Ben bowed and thanked him.
Hongjun smiled slightly, glanced around at the other powerful figures present, and then said:
"The other participants, though they did not obtain the Saint's Crystal, have also endured hardship in guarding the primordial wilderness and conquering enemies on distant expeditions."
"Heaven's way is impartial, and each person is rewarded for their merits."
