Chapter 1855 - Gongming

Chapter 1855: Gongming

Zhang Ruochen stood straight at the center of the Black Altar like a spear, his posture heroic with a terrifying aura about him as he said, “Zhang Ruochen.”

“Here I was thinking who was that unruly lout, it turned out to be the self-styled Prince of the Eastern Region, Zhang Ruochen.”

“It seems like he really regards himself as the master of the Eastern Region, and did not even put the Dizu Divine Dynasty in his eyes.”

...

Several contemptuous waves of laughter rang out from Luoshui.

One of them, named Yue Gongming, stood beside Eunuch Que.

Four streams of Saint Qi blasted out from Yue Gongming’s palm.

The Saint Qi condensed into chains and rescued the four Golden Imperial Guards out of the water.

Yue Gongming smiled slightly. “Who said Zhang Ruochen did not put the Dizu Divine Dynasty in his eyes? As a Prince of a region, for him to not kill the four Goldscale Imperial Guard outright, it shows that he dares not offend the Dizu Divine Dynasty.”

Zhang Ruochen had long expected that the moment he announced himself as the Prince of the Eastern Region, there would be many elites who would not accept it. Either laughing at him for being too self-presumptuous or did not even look at him as the Prince of the Eastern Region at all.

It did not matter.

All powerhouses only became invincible after being tempered by constant challenges.

Zhang Ruochen was not afraid of challenges nor provocations, but at this moment, he was not in the mood to fight the cultivators here, so he drove the Black Altar straight toward Luoshui.

“For him to actually ignoring our prohibition, get down here.”

Yue Gongming’s gaze focused as he lifted his hand, and a large amount of saint path precepts rushed out from his body across all directions and changed the precepts of heaven and earth in the area.

Freezing winds kicked up within a radius of hundreds of miles, forming into a massive tornado and enclosing the Black Altar.

This person wanted to use the wind force to forcefully pull the Black Altar down.

Yue Gongming was one of the twelve Gongmings of the Shentian Sect, and his cultivation was quite powerful. He was not a weakling.

First of all, the Shentian Sect was one of the top ancient sects of the Imperial Path Macroworld, and its leader was a supreme true god with hundreds of millions of disciples spread across many macroworlds.

The so-called “Gongming”, was chosen from the Nine-step Saint Kings of the Shentian Sect that consisted of talented people who had the best chance to reach Supreme Sainthood.

Each of the twelve Gongmings could dominate a single area alone.

The God Queen of the Dizu Divine Dynasty, that was, the Queen Mother of the Dizu Crown Prince was the daughter of the Supreme Leader of the Shentian Sect, and her position was lofty.

Thus, it was not something strange that Yue Gongming would be together with Eunuch Que. He must have been called upon by the Dizu Crown Prince.

“Break!”

Zhang Ruochen tore open a dimensional rift that was dozens of meters long and tore the tornado aside as he drove the Black Altar, rushing out of it.

“Heh, his usage of the power of space is quite skillful at the very least.”

Yue Gongming transformed into a stream of light and overtook the Black Altar as he formed a hand seal. “Heavenfall Seal.”

Nearly one hundred thousand Saint Path Precepts gushed out of both of Yue Gongming’s palm, as the Saint Qi of heaven and earth were constantly drawn over, and formed a blinding seal mark.

It was just a seal, but the brilliance that came out of it was even more dazzling than the sun, and even a Saint King dared not look directly at it.

“Knowing that I’ve slain Jueyan Hu, and he still dared to provoke me. This person sure has some real ability.” Zhang Ruochen said to himself.

If not for the fact Zhang Ruochen was in a hurry, he perhaps would have stayed behind and fought him.

Zhang Ruochen infused his spiritual power into the Black Altar, and instantly the 18 array flags that were deployed on the altar all unleashed dazzling flames. Eighteen pillars of flames rushed into the air as they converged together, and struck the seal Yue Gongming had made.

Booom!

Two powerful forces collided against each other in the air.

Half of the sky were flashed white, while another half was turned into a sea of flames. The scene was extremely awe-inspiring.

Yue Gongming fell back and dropped onto the surface of the water as he glided several hundred feet on the surface before managing to stabilize himself.

He raised his head and looked at the disappearing Black Altar. There was no longer any smile on his face. “I thought that Zhang Ruochen had only managed to kill Jueyan Hu by using the power of the ancient wards. I never thought that even without it, he was actually not weak at all.”

Eunuch Que said. “Forget it. Since Zhang Ruochen does not want to be our enemy, let’s not provoke him, especially in this sensitive period.”

“Is there any use for us guarding here any longer? I suspect that that Blood Wasp from the Infernal Court had already entered Luoshui,” Yue Gongming said.

Eunuch Que’s face was solemn as he said, “Our task is to seal Luoshui. Even if that Blood Wasp enters Luoshui, His Royal Highness and the two Gongmings should be enough to deal with it.”

...

The Black Altar flew into Luoshui, and a few hundred miles in, the fog on the water got thicker and thicker.

In the air, ancient inscription wards appeared, and if contact was made, the wards will call upon a destructive force to attack the Black Altar.

The formation array inside the Black Altar activated, forming a black sphere with a diameter of hundreds of feet.

A purple thunderbolt as thick as a water barrel struck against the black light screen outside the Black Altar. On the surface of the light screen, ripples appeared and nullified the power of the thunderbolt.

But the deeper he went into Luoshui, the more terrifying the attack power was.

A wind blade a hundred miles long, like an aurora, struck from the horizon, and the black light screen trembled violently as if it was about to shatter.

Awesome the Little Taoist was a little anxious as he took out the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror and held it in his hand, saying, “The defensive power of the Black Altar is at its limits, right? There must have been someone powerful that had deployed a killer inscription ward here. It’s not something we can breakthrough. How about... we head back first, and find another way? ”

Zhang Ruochen shook his head. “The Black Altar is too big a target, and it will easily trigger the interwoven inscriptions in the air and earth. We need to find another way.”

A large number of flames emerged before the Black Altar.

The flames converged together, and turned into a flame dragon tens of miles long before slamming into the Black Altar, and causing it to fly backward.

Voosh!

While the flame dragon was destroyed, the flames continued to burn and immolated the defensive screen of the Black Altar as it got thinner and thinner.

“Activate the power of the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror.” Zhang Ruochen’s expression changed a little.

The flames were too terrifying, and even if Zhang Ruochen had cultivated the Divine Purification Flames, he was not sure if he could stop it.

What was more handicapping was that the dimensional structure of Luoshui was quite complicated, and he could not simply use Dimensional Shift at will. If he was not careful, he would be lost in these waters.

Only by using the protection of the Supreme Sacred Artifact would they have a chance to escape.

Awesome the Little Taoist had already infused Saint Qi into the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror, and as soon as Zhang Ruochen’s voice rang out, a Bagua Seal appeared in the mirror and floated above their heads.

Voooshhh!!

Zhang Ruochen and Awesome, the Little Taoist hid behind the Bagua Seal. Then, they flew up, broke through the flames, and landed smoothly on the surface of the water.

Tens of miles away, the Black Altar was still suspended in the air, still in flames.

After burning for a whole two hours, only did the flames dissipated.

The Black Altar was burnt to golden red and became scorching hot. Fortunately, its material was of high quality so it was not damaged.

Zhang Ruochen kept the Black Altar into the Qiankun Realm and did not fly it again.

Awesome, the Little Taoist looked around carefully and asked, “Zhang Ruochen, where are we going actually? It’s too dangerous here! How about we go back?”

Zhang Ruochen said, “This is an awakened divine land here, and there are many amazing treasures in the depths of the water, ten-thousand-year-old holy medicines, a lakeful of god blood, and even corpses of the gods.”

“Awakened divine land... divine corpses...”

Awesome the Little Taoist swallowed his saliva as he licked his lips and said, “What’s so terrifying about danger? It’s not like I’ve not seen trials and tribulations before, what’s there to be afraid of an awakened divine land?” Don’t you have a Teleportation Scroll? We can teleport directly to the awakened divine land.”

Zhang Ruochen opened his heavens eye and unleashed the domain of space as he carefully explored his surroundings and shook his head. “It’s not that simple. Within Luoshui are countless of folded dimensions. The waters are probably tens of millions of miles wide, and if we get lost inside there, we might not be able to get out even after a hundred years.”

Awesome, the Little Taoist took a deep breath and said, “Aren’t you the scion of time and space? Are you afraid of getting lost in dimensional pockets?”

“I’m of course not afraid.”

Zhang Ruochen took a step out as he stepped on the water and headed in a direction. “Follow behind me, be careful.”

After walking almost a good half of the day on the water’s surface, he did not see the planet floating on the water. Zhang Ruochen’s heart could barely remain calm, as he became more and more anxious.

He was worried that Mr. Godcliff had already found Fairy Tianchu.

If an Array Master wanted to kill someone with the means he had...

Then that person was almost certain to die.

“Even with my learning of space, it is difficult to enter the depths of Luoshui. No matter how strong Mr. Godcliff’s spiritual powers are, it should not be easy for him to break into it.” Zhang Ruochen comforted himself.

“Eh?! Zhang Ruochen, look. There’s a floating corpse there.”

Awesome, the Little Taoist stood on Zhang Ruochen’s right shoulder and pointed to the left before them.

Zhang Ruochen released his Saint Qi and condensed it into a thin thread. It then flew several miles away and wrapped around the floating corpse, as he dragged it to his side.

“The Fool!”

Zhang Ruochen was rather shocked, as he quickly grabbed the Fool’s arm and probed around. “He’s badly wounded, but he’s still alive.”

There were dense blood holes all over the Fool’s chubby body, all of his internal organs, including his heart, were all penetrated by the blood holes, and his body was turned into a sieve.

About 90% of the Saint Blood in his body was lost.

Him being alive only showed that his will to survive was extraordinary.

Zhang Ruochen took out the Fountain of Life and fed him ten drops.

As the Fountain of Life entered his body, the weak life fluctuations within the Fool became a little stronger.

“Could it be that Mr. Godcliff had struck?”

Zhang Ruochen exuded a cold aura from his body, but soon, he was sure that it was not Mr. Godcliff who had severely wounded the Fool.

The reason was, some Ashuran Battle Qi remained in the fool’s body.

It was the erosion of the Ashuran Battle Qi that caused the blood holes on the Fool’s body to unable to heal itself, and could only continuously lose the Saint Blood in his body.

Zhang Ruochen pressed his palm onto the Fool’s chest, and absorbed all of the Ashuran Battle Qi, into his body, and merged it with the Five-Element Chaotic Qi.

Gradually, the blood holes on the Fool’s body began to heal, and his life signs became stronger and stronger.

“He’s saved!”

Zhang Ruochen heaved a sigh of relief.

Awesome, the Little Taoist smiled. “Fortunately, he’s a portly one. He could float even after falling into the water, and just happened to run into us.”
