God Emperor

Chapter 1192: Smelting

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

When Zhang Ruochen decided to take the Holy Carnivorous Flower in the beginning, he’d already predicted that it wouldn’t be obedient. It would want to eat him.

Thus, Zhang Ruochen didn’t only use it as help in battle. He also used it to force himself to improve faster and fend off its threat.

After the challenge of the heaven and earth trials, the Holy Carnivorous Flower’s projection body was completely shattered. Its true body also withered. It hid in Zhang Ruochen’s spine, unable to move.

The Holy Carnivorous Flower is still quite powerful. It provided a lot of auxiliary help.

After thinking carefully, he decided to awaken the flower’s vitality. Thus, he reached out his clean hands and hovered above Empress Moran’s corpse. He released his Spiritual Power. He grabbed downward and separated Empress Moran’s saint soul.

Her saint soul was like a fist-sized ball of light. It glowed and hovered between Zhang Ruochen’s hands. He could vaguely see a beautiful figure standing in it. It was identical to Empress Moran.

I wonder what miraculous things will happen after combining Empress Moran’s saint soul into the Holy Carnivorous Flower’s true body. The flower’s animosity toward me will probably strengthen.

Zhang Ruochen’s lips curled into a smile. He didn’t care about that threat.

Whoosh!

He took a deep breath. Empress Moran’s saint soul flew into his body as a streak of light.

He wrapped the soul in Holy Qi and moved it within him. He forced the soul into his spine to combine with the Holy Carnivorous Flower’s true body.

The saint soul was much stronger than the flower’s projection body. However, they didn’t come from the same source. They expulsed foreign bodies and were very hard to combine.

“Seems like I need to use some tactics.”

Zhang Ruochen raised his arms. Bolts of purple lightning appeared in his palms and he pressed them against his chest.

Sizzle, sizzle.

Electricity coursed through Zhang Ruochen’s entire body. More than 70% went to his spine, stimulating the Holy Carnivorous Flower and Empress Moran’s saint soul to combine more quickly.

As they combined, black vines slowly grew out of Zhang Ruochen’s back. Leaves sprouted, releasing faint Holy Qi.

The tendrils grew longer and thicker. They reached from the ground all the way to the clouds and radiated with powerful auras.

By the time Empress Moran’s saint soul and the Holy Carnivorous Flower completely melded, the flower reached its peak state again. It radiated with extremely mighty Holy Qi.

The tendrils shook slightly and the surrounding Spiritual Qi shook violently. Rings of energy waves rippled out.

A voice that sounded like Empress Moran came from the flower. It carried extreme hatred. “Zhang Ruochen, you dared to put my soul into the Holy Carnivorous Flower. I will swallow you first!”

Whoosh!

Sharp thorns broke through a tendril as thick as a jar. The tendril swept toward Zhang Ruochen like a sword. The thorns were created by the Rules of Saintly Way and carried icy strength.

Zhang Ruochen sat cross-legged on the ground. He hummed softly and his thoughts jumped. The Holy Qi in him automatically turned into red-hot flames that flooded toward his spine.

The Holy Carnivorous Flower’s true body was one with his spine. Suffering from the flames, the flower trembled and cried out.

Sizzle, sizzle.

Flames flooded out of Zhang Ruochen’s back. It crept up the tendril, burning upward. The flower’s new leaves were burned to dust.

“Master, master,” the flower begged. “I’m sorry, I was wrong. Please put away your fire.”

The voice was still similar to Empress Moran’s voice. It was soft and gentle. It produced a strange feeling after Zhang Ruochen heard it.

Actually, the Holy Carnivorous Flower was in the Saint Realm and was very strong too. However, it already accepted Zhang Ruochen as its master. Zhang Ruochen could use any simple move to make it suffer.

It couldn’t break free from Zhang Ruochen’s control unless its cultivation was much, much stronger than him. Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t let that happen. He would definitely keep the flower’s abilities at a level that he could control.

He gradually put away the fire and used Spiritual Power to communicate with the flower. “Whether you’re the Holy Carnivorous Flower or Empress Moran,” he warned, “you better be obedient. Otherwise, I’ll destroy you next time.”

The flower now had part of its own mind and Empress Moran’s consciousness. The two were currently melding. By the time they finished, they wouldn’t be able to be distinguished.

The Holy Carnivorous Flower had seen Zhang Ruochen’s power before and didn’t want to be punished again. “Master, please don’t worry,” it quickly said. “I won’t dare to have other thoughts, no matter how much courage you give me.”

The flower’s personality had indeed changed. Before, it had been very stubborn and would never try to placate Zhang Ruochen. Now, it seemed to have accepted him as its master and was willing to work for him.

Is it because it melded with Empress Moran’s soul? Or because I cultivated my physical body and Spiritual Power to the Saint Realm, impressing it? Or maybe both?

Zhang Ruochen shook his head. He didn’t want to think about it too much.

He dug out a blood-red saintly source from Empress Moran’s corpse and gave it to the Holy Carnivorous Flower. “You just entered the Saint Realm. Take this saintly source to reinforce your level.”

The flower rushed out of Zhang Ruochen’s body. It extended its many roots and latched onto Empress Moran’s corpse. It covered the corpse and saintly source at the same time.

The flower had just entered the Saint Realm. It was still very unstable, so it needed a lot of nutrients to reinforce its level. Plus, absorbing Empress Moran’s saintly source, blood, and Holy Qi could help the flower’s true body meld with Empress Moran’s soul better. It had endless benefits.

Zhang Ruochen dug the Blue Dragon Emperor Stamp out of the ground. He held it in his hands to study it.

“It’s carved with 8,747 runes. This is definitely within the top 100 of the Thousand-pattern Weapon List. It’s quite an impressive treasure,” he praised.

Refining such a powerful Thousand-pattern Weapon in a void world was very difficult.

Of course, Zhang Ruochen wasn’t interested in it. He could just give it to the Abyss Ancient Sword to advance it.

He took out the sword and struck down on the Blue Dragon Emperor Stamp.

Boom!

The stamp shone with dazzling blue light. A blue dragon’s shadow flew out and escaped from the Abyss Ancient Sword.

Zhang Ruochen made a sound of surprise.

The weapon spirit was an ancient dragon soul. It was very intelligent and obviously wouldn’t allow itself to be butchered.

“Human, what are you doing?” The weapon spirit spoke to Zhang Ruochen in human tongue. “Don’t you know that the Blue Dragon Dynasty used up more than half of the dynasty’s resources to create this stamp? And you want to destroy me?”

“So what?” Zhang Ruochen said indifferently. “I can destroy the world with only one sword.”

The Abyss Ancient Sword whistled. It flew toward the stamp with a long trail of light behind it.

The two Thousand-pattern Saint Weapons started fighting. The clashes were intense, like two Saints fighting.

The Abyss Ancient Sword’s material was far stronger than the Blue Dragon Emperor Stamp, but its level was much lower. It couldn’t repress the stamp at all.

In the end, Zhang Ruochen joined the battle. He controlled the Abyss Ancient Sword to repress the stamp and start to refine it slowly.

“After refining the Blue Dragon Emperor Stamp,” Zhang Ruochen murmured to himself. “The Abyss Ancient Sword should have at least 5,000 runes, right?”

“Human...don’t you know...the value of a Thousand-pattern Saint Weapon with 8,000 runes... You actually want to refine me...”

The weapon spirit felt like it had met a fool. Any other Saint would be overjoyed to get it. Who would want to refine it?

The Blue Dragon Emperor Stamp shook violently. Low dragon roars kept coming from it.

The weapon spirit wasn’t willing to be refined by the Abyss Ancient Sword, but without its master’s control, even the most powerful saint weapon would have limited power.

Under the tragic dragon cries, the Blue Dragon Emperor Stamp was completely melted. The blue liquid melded with the Abyss Ancient Sword.

Zhang Ruochen reached out his clean right hand and grasped the Abyss Ancient Sword’s hilt. He held it and closed his eyes, sensing carefully.

There were 5,132 patterns within the sword. They were organized in a mysterious way, as if some top weapon master had carved them personally.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t use Holy Qi. He just waved his sword offhandedly.

Whoosh!

Thousands upon thousands of Sword Qi automatically forged before the sword. It formed a Sword Qi wall, countless of meters tall. It pushed forward with piercing screeches.

“The Abyss Ancient Sword’s power improves vastly with every thousand new runes. Even though there are only 5,000 runes, it doesn’t seem much weaker than the Blue Dragon Emperor Stamp.”

Zhang Ruochen was quite satisfied with the Abyss Ancient Sword. Merely its sharpness already surpassed other Thousand-pattern Saint Weapons. It could even slash through the others.

The Holy Carnivorous Flower sucked dry Empress Moran’s saint soul, liquid and Holy Qi. Various small blue buds sprouted on the vine.

“Are you going to bloom a second time?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

The flower’s Spiritual Power reached into Zhang Ruochen’s mind. “Master, as long as I can absorb enough nutrients, the holy flower will bloom completely within a year and reach the prime state. By then, my cultivation will also surpass the Heaven Pass Realm. I’ll be comparable to a Saint and can help you do much more.”

“The nutrients you receive depend on how obedient you are,” Zhang Ruochen replied simply.

Then he used Spiritual Power to enter the scroll world and communicate with the Divine Sky-Connecting Tree.

“My physical body has already become a Saint. I can take the Universe World at any time.”

A while later, the Divine Sky-Connecting Tree messaged Zhang Ruochen to inform him that it had started refining the Blue Dragon Void World’s World Spirit. In the following days, tremendous changes would happen to the scroll world.

In the end, the Universe Spiritual Map would shatter. The scroll world would develop into a much vaster and more stable world—the Universe World.
