God Emperor

Chapter 1958: Collecting the Divine Sky-connecting Tree

Seeing Pan Ruo being swallowed by the Divine Thunder, the Ten-eyed Qiankun Insect could not help but reveal a smile. Trying to take the Divine Thunder head-on was the same as having a death wish.

When handing the talisman to him, Cang Long had mentioned that the Divine Thunder unleashed by the talisman would be very powerful. A single thunder strike was enough to wound or even kill an ordinary Path’s Anterior elite. With hundreds or even thousands of simultaneous Divine Thunder strikes, even a top-tier Path’s Anterior elite would find it difficult to survive.

As strong as Pan Ruo was, she would not be able to withstand the bombardment of a thousand Divine Thunder strikes.

Of course, even if she survived, she would also be seriously injured. By then, he could take her down with a flip of his hand, and she would not be able to do anything more.

“How dare you look down on me. Do you think I’m a pushover?” The Ten-eyed Qiankun Insect’s eyes were filled with malicious intent.

He was waiting for the strength of the talisman to be exhausted and see how miserable Pan Ruo would be. Just a wisp of her Saint Soul could b exchanged for a large number of merit points.

After a long while, the raging thunder finally subsided, and calm returned.

“How can that be?”

Seeing that appear before him, the Ten-eyed Qiankun Insect could not help but widen his eyes as if he was imagining things.

Pan Ruo stood silently on the golden Buddhist lotus as her body radiated a faint Buddhist light. Her form was solemn and dignified as if she was a living Bodhisattva who was walking the realm.

The golden lotus was completely intact, and perfectly blocked off all of the power of the Divine Thunder, not allowing it to harm Pan Ruo at all.

The Ten-eyed Qiankun Insect was dumbstruck. He had used his strongest card yet he could not even harm Pan Ruo. How strong was she?

Soon, the Ten-eyed Qiankun Insect snapped back to his senses, and the first thought in his mind was to flee.

The Smiling Faceshifter noticed the danger that the Ten-eyed Qiankun Insect was in, and he shot out several high-level sacred artifacts out, including one of the incomplete King’s Weapons he had gotten from the Kunlun Realm. He was trying to stop Pan Ruo and buy time for the Ten-eyed Qiankun Insect to escape.

“Run, you fool!” The Smiling Faceshifter had an anxious look.

The Ten-eyed Qiankun Insect dared not tarry, and immediately escape with all of the speed he could muster, no longer caring about taking the Divine Sky-connecting Tree.

Pan Ruo did not move and stood on the golden Buddhist lotus as she quickly made some bizarre mudras.

Suddenly, an even more brilliant golden Buddhist light emerged from her body, forming a golden Bodhisattva that merged together with the golden lotus, as of the two were one.

Baaaam!!

The golden Bodhisattva extended a hand and easily destroyed all of the high-level sacred artifacts that the Smiling Faceshifter had deployed, reducing all of them into pieces of scrap iron.

That piece of incomplete King’s Weapon was grabbed by the Golden Bodhisattva, and the King-class inscription within it was unable to unleash the slightest of its powers.

A silver droplet flew out from the center of Pan Ruo’s brow and transformed into a crystal sword. The sword radiated a chilly aura as if it wanted to freeze the entire void in place.

The crystal sword flew across the void like flowing water and appeared behind the Ten-eyed Qiankun Insect in an instant.

“Nooo!!!”

The Ten-eyed Qiankun Insect let out a horrified and bitter roar.

Dush!

The crystal sword stabbed through the Ten-eyed Qiankun Insect’s head as Precepts of the Sword in the hundreds of thousands were blasted into his body.

As a primordial species, his lifeforce was extremely powerful, and he could survive the blow. The moment the Ten-eyed Qiankun Insect faded, he transformed into a bizarre bug with ten eyes. Its size was massive, comparable to a bull.

Seeing the Ten-eyed Qiankun Insect die, the Smiling Faceshifter was extremely terrified and desperately tried to escape.

He was good at masquerading and transformation, but his actual combat strength was not even comparable to that of the Ten-eyed Qiankun Insect.

If even the latter was so easily killed, how was he a match for Pan Ruo?

Pan Ruo did not pursue him but slowly extended her hand instead. While she did so, a series of arcane Precepts of Destiny appeared and transformed into chains as they flew at the Smiling Faceshifter.

The Smiling Faceshifter could not outrun to the Precepts of Destiny, and in an instant, he was bound by the chains.

One of the chains glowed in a strange light that directly pierced into the Smiling Faceshifter’s body and pulled his Saint Soul out of his body.

Smash!!

The chain shook slightly, and the Smiling Faceshifter’s Saint Soul shattered.

At that moment, the Fane of Youshen’s Six Fatals lost another two members and could only be called the Two Fatals from now on.

The moment the Smiling Faceshifter died, his body changed and transformed into an unknown beast.

Pan Ruo did not let her kills go to waste and collected the corpses of both the Ten-eyed Qiankun Insect as well as the Smiling Faceshifter. After all, the corpses of primordial creatures like this were still very valuable.

The next moment, Pan Ruo locked her gaze on You Yuexin and clearly did not want to let this survivor of the Blackdemon Realm go.

“I have to fight!”

You Yuexin knew that she could not escape, and she gritted her teeth as she struck at Pan Ruo first.

A demonic moon flew out of her body, unleashing monstrous Demonic Qi as it rammed into Pan Ruo.

Pan Ruo’s expression was indifferent, and with a casual wave of her hand, a surge of majestic evil Death Qi emerged and collided with the demonic moon.

Bam!!

The demonic moon exploded, and all of the Demonic Qi was annihilated.

You Yuexin’s body shuddered as she spat out a mouthful of blood, seemingly suffering another severe blow.

Without waiting for her foe to make another move, Pan Ruo blasted out some light of destiny, which instantly sank into the former’s body.

You Yuexin’s body stiffened as her consciousness rapidly disintegrated. In the end, she could not escape the disaster.

Just as Pan Ruo was about to continue her attack, Ji Fanxin stood in her path. She unleashed an ancient curse, with countless hexes appearing in the void and striking at Pan Ruo.

Faint delight appeared in Pan Ruo’s eyes as she formed another mudra, and a surge of Will of Death appeared from her body, colliding with the hexes.

With Ji Fanxin facing off with Pan Ruo, the weaker folks on the Celestial Court’s side could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. They were really afraid of being targeted by Pan Ruo.

At the same moment, the group of Celestial Court elites attacked the Deathkins with all their might, creating openings for Zhang Ruochen to strike.

As long as they could exhaust the Deathkins in blocking their attacks, Zhang Ruochen could then find an opportunity to go in for the kill.

Everyone could see that with the advantage of being able to move freely, Zhang Ruochen still had a way to slay his foe even if they were far stronger than himself.

After a whirlwind of slaughter, aside from Pan Ruo and seven other powerful Shenzis, as well as Shennüs, all of the Deathkin elites had perished by Zhang Ruochen’s hands.

To Zhang Ruochen, all of the Deathkin elites equaled to merit points. Adding all of them up could get him over hundreds of millions of merit points. It was far beyond the points obtained when killing the average Deathkin.

Very soon, Zhang Ruochen had selected a target to kill, and the target was Shengku Shenzi who was fighting fiercely with Bi Yunhai.

He was not as strong as Bi Yunhai and was completely on the back foot against the latter, so he was undoubtedly the best target.

His figure flickered and Zhang Ruochen suddenly appeared beside Shengku Shenzi.

The Secret Tome of Time and Space opened, and the dimension shook as a massive dimensional rift crept toward Shengku Shenzi.

Shengku Shenzi’s expression changed drastically, and he tried to dodge with as much speed as he could muster. Yet, he was a little too slow, and he could not completely avoid the rift. Both of his arms were severed by the dimensional rift as blood gushed out.

“Die!”

Taking the opportunity, Bi Yunhai immediately struck and activated the Skyblue Gourd. He unleashed a dazzling Saint Light that comprised countless Saint Path Precepts as it shot at Shengku Shenzi.

In desperation, Shengku Shenzi could only deploy a dozen shields before him as fast as possible and used the Shadow of Death to shield himself.

Baaam!!

The Shadow of Death could not withstand the devastating attack from the King’s Weapon and was punched straight through.

Immediately after, the one dozen shields that Shengku Shenzi had deployed were all shattered in succession, and he was sent flying.

Zhang Ruochen seemed to have already calculated everything, and instantly appeared behind Shengku Shenzi as a blurry sword soul flew out of his body with the Ancient Abyssal Blade, unleashing the Swordsmanship of Time.

Numerous Marks of Time appeared and enveloped Shengku Shenzi.

“Sh*t!” Shengku Shenzi cursed to himself.

Yet, when he wanted to block the attack, it was already too late.

Time seemed to come to a standstill at that moment, and Shengku Shenzi found it difficult to even think.

Dush!

A sword light flashed past, and Shengku Shenzi’s head flew into the air.

Even when dealing with a powerful Deathkin like Shengku Shenzi, the sword soul still had a countering effect, and its effect was made even more pronounced.

With just a single stroke, Shengku Shenzi was dead.

The Sword Soul returned and entered Zhang Ruochen’s body as if it had never appeared before.

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Ruochen collected Shengku Shenzi’s corpse and all of the artifacts he used. This was all his spoils of war.

Seeing this, Bi Yunhai frowned, obviously a little unhappy. Nevertheless, he did not do anything in the end. Inside the void, he was really helpless against Zhang Ruochen, and if he wanted to fight, he might very well be the one to suffer instead.

“Shengku.”

Seeing Shengku Shenzi die, Yuanmo Shenzi was furious.

He was not particularly concerned about Shengku Shenzi’s death, but in this situation, Shengku Shenzi’s death meant that their situation had undoubtedly become much more perilous.

“Fall back. Use the Altar of Death to deal with them. Since they dare to step on Xianji Mountain, none of them will leave alive,” Yuanmo Shenzi ordered coldly.

Fighting inside the void was just too troublesome. They had all of the strength in the world but could not use it whatsoever. Otherwise, how could they have been beaten so badly by Zhang Ruochen?

In an instant, the remaining Deathkin elites all gathered beside Yuanmo Shenzi at the quickest speed possible. Pan Ruo was among them.

Seven top elites all unleashed their Will of Death, conjuring a massive Shadow of Death, and Yuanmo Shenzi handed the Supreme Sacred Artifact-level Demonic Spear to the Shadow of Death.

Boom!!

A group of Celestial Court elites was unleashing a frenzy of attacks. With such a good opportunity at hand, how could they let Yuanmo Shenzi and his clique go that easily?

The Shadow of Death became increasingly unstable and was on the brink of collapse.

“Death Sacrifice.”

Led by Yuanmo Shenzi, the five other Shenzis and Shennüs all sacrificed their own essence.

Pan Ruo did not sacrifice her own essence, though. Instead, she used the Gate of Destiny to unleash a technique of destiny to stabilize the Shadow of Death. At the same time, she did everything she could to eliminate the void’s impact.

With that, the Deathkin could stand their ground as they slowly fought their way out of the void.

There was no one outside the void right then. No one knew if those people had entered the void, or where those who had retreated out of it had gone.

Whoosh!

Yuanmo Shenzi and the others retreated from the void. Then, without any hesitation, they immediately rushed out of the Blue Temple at extreme speed.

“After them!”

Xuanyuan Liekong immediately pursued after them.

Seeing this, a group of elites immediately followed suit, wanting to take advantage of all the Deathkin on Xianji Mountain.

Speaking of which, Lu Baiming and Ming Gu were completely unaffected by the Divine Sky-connecting Tree, and they did not enter Xianji Mountain’s central area. They had been fighting outside all this while, and no one knew how their fight was progressing.

At the edge of the void, Zhang Ruochen halted momentarily before turning around.

With no one else there now, it was undoubtedly the best time to collect the Divine Sky-connecting Tree trunk.

A moment later, he arrived again before the Divine Sky-connecting Tree and unlocked the Qiankun Realm, allowing the tree’s new seedling to communicate with the tree trunk’s remnant will.

The others had taken the collection of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree trunk a little too lightly. It was a powerful divine body, and if it did not recognize the individual before it, collecting it by force would not be easy.

In fact, if he had let the Ten-eyed Qiankun Insect use that ancient dimensional artifact to collect the Divine Sky-connecting Tree trunk, not only would it have failed, but it would have also caused massive trouble.

Without waiting for too long, the Divine Sky-connecting Tree seedling successfully communicated with the tree trunk’s remnant will.

“Retract.”

Zhang Ruochen opened the Qiankun Realm with all of his might, unleashing a powerful suction force.

Whoosh!

The Divine Sky-connecting Tree’s immense trunk, alongside the countless God-eater Bugs lurking in the trunk, were all instantly sucked into the Qiankun Realm without any resistance.

Immediately afterward, the Divine Tree’s Qi that was permeating in the realm was also all sucked into the Qiankun Realm. These were all good things and should not be wasted for nothing.
