God Emperor

Chapter 1990: All in Together

” Chi Sheng, you are nothing but a mere brute. Don’t forget, Ziyan said that Zhang Ruochen needs to be brought back alive. It will be difficult for us to explain things if you accidentally beat him to death.”

A crisp and pleasant voice like a lark rang out.

The person speaking was a petite girl in purple, looking only 13 to 14 years old. Her face was delicate and immaculate, giving out a totally harmless temperament, like a girl next door.

From the outside, the purple-robed girl could be said to be beautifully youthful and was full of vitality.

However, her eyes were extremely deep as the vicissitudes of time seeped through it and could not be hidden.

In fact, the purple-robed girl was older than anyone else present and was already 1,700 years old.

If one were to be deceived by her appearance, they might not even know how they die in the end.

Zhang Ruochen’s gaze was affixed on the purple-robed girl and could faintly see a strange purple Qi swirling around her body, giving an air of nobility.

Zhang Ruochen was very familiar with the aura of the purple-robed girl and had felt it more than once. It was almost the same as the aura released by Saint King Ziyang and Saint King Zifeng but was much more powerful in nature.

As a result, Zhang Ruochen had already determined the identity of the purple-robed girl. If he was not wrong, she should be the grandmother of Saint King Ziyang and Saint King Zifeng, Zi Linglong.

According to the rumors, Zi Linglong is extremely talented, and could be said to be a peerless elite that is only seen once every ten thousand years in the Fane of Purple Sky. She had reached the realm of Path’s Anterior in less than five hundred years of cultivation. If she had wanted to, she could have already broken into the realm of Supreme Sainthood.

A thousand and two hundred years later, Zi Linglong still stayed in the realm of Path’s Anterior. The reason was she cultivated the most arcane ‘Purple Emperor Scripture’ of the Fane of Purple Sky, which was rumored to be one of the arcane techniques on the Taiyi Divine Techniques Ranking. Should she successfully cultivate it, she could form the Purple Emperor’s Sacred Body, which was extremely powerful.

The Fane of Purple Sky had not had anyone who had managed to cultivate the Purple Emperor Scripture to full completion for over tens of thousand of years now.

With Zi Linglong’s supreme talents, her future should have been limitless, yet she took the risk to cultivate the Purple Emperor Scripture. Such courage was definitely beyond any ordinary persons.

And the Chi Sheng that Zi Linglong mentioned too was not a run-of-the-mill character. He was one of the top elites of a major faction in Ruiya Realm, the Fane of Bashen. He was a personal disciple of Bashen, and his strength is far stronger than Cang Long of the Fane of Youshen. So even when Zhang Ruochen had killed Cang Long earlier, Chi Sheng still did not consider Zhang Ruochen to amount to much in his eyes.

There also that Feng Gudao from the Soul Realm. He was the most insidious and cunning, but also courageous, otherwise he would not have dared to launch a sneak attack on a Neverwither Supreme Saint.

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes moved onto an extremely hideous-looking man. The man’s had an extremely large head, two to three times the size of a normal head. His teeth too were extremely protruding, and his lips could not cover them all, looking nothing like a human being at all.

As soon as he saw this person, another person immediately appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s mind. That was the space cultivator, Gu Feng, who was invited by Fairy Tianchu when he entered the Altar of Divinity Bestowment. The latter was also very hideous-looking and was very similar in appearance.

Not surprisingly, the two were probably of the same tribe, as they both came from Cha Realm.

Feng Gudao, Chi Sheng, Zi Linglong and that ugly man were undoubtedly no push-overs. Each of them had more than 70 million saint path precepts in their bodies, and their cultivation was unfathomable.

“Where’s Shang Ziyan? He wants to get rid of me, yet why isn’t he here to do the deed himself?” Zhang Ruochen asked coldly.

Feng Gudao said faintly. “As long as you surrender obediently, you’ll see Ziyan soon enough.”

“What? Is Shang Ziyan afraid to face me?” Zhang Ruochen sneered.

Feng Gudao shook his head and said, “You got that wrong. Ziyan has more important matters to attend to and have no time for you. However, he had asked four of us to stay behind and deal with you, so he thinks you’re quite worthy. But you are indeed strong, far stronger than we have expected. You have first killed Cang Long and Yan Ba, and then killed Mu Jian, if we allow you to continue to grow, you will be nothing but trouble.”

“We’ll give you a chance, choose one of us to fight you.”

Although Zhang Ruochen’s achievements in the previous few battles were extremely astonishing, it was still not enough to scare them.

In any case, they were all of leaders of a major realm, and were all people of extreme talents, so they had the pride that belonged solely to them.

More importantly, they had absolute confidence in their own strength.

Therefore, if it was not necessary, they would not choose to join hands with others at all.

If capturing a Zhang Ruochen required all four of them to make a concerted move together, if this news goes out, won’t it seem like they were just too incompetent instead?

As for Cang Long, Yan Ba and Mu Jian all dying in Zhang Ruochen’s hands, they did not really care.

Even if they belonged the same Heavenly Realm faction, it was inevitable that they would scheme against each other.

For example, like Chi Sheng, he represented the Fane of Bashen, and was in fact very happy to see the Fane of Youshen to suffer setbacks. This way, the status of the Fane of Bashen in Ruiya Realm would increase.

“Choose quickly, don’t waste my time.” Chi Sheng said impatiently.

He did not have the patience of Feng Gudao. He had always liked to do things quick and cleanly.

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes moved and swept past the four elites in turn, showing no signs of fear at all as he said calmly. “Don’t waste time, just come all in together. I don’t believe Shang Ziyan won’t show up once I’m done with the four of you.”

“Hahaha! Audacious, you sure are audacious. Interesting, Zhang Ruochen, let me see if you really have the capital needed to have that audacity.” The ugly-looking man laughed, his eyes full of evil intent.

Zi Linglong said indifferently. “Gu Tianyin, I have no objections if you want to fight, but let me remind you, don’t underestimate Zhang Ruochen. If something were to happen, we may not be able to save you in time.”

“Why? Zi Linglong, are you worried about me? That really flatters me, however it’s a pity that I’m not interested in you. I only like tender ones.” The ugly man Gu Tianyin smiled.

Hearing that, a cold glint flashed past Zi Linglong’s eyes as a terrifying killing intent exuded from her body. What she hated the most was others calling her old.

Sensing the killing intent, Gu Tianyin could not help but to snigger, but he did not dare to continue teasing her. After all, if he really pissed Zi Linglong off, things would be very troublesome.

“Gu Tianyin, you are full of sh*t, are you fighting or not? If you aren’t, let me fight then.” Chi Sheng urged impatiently.

Gu Tianyin did not say anything as an evil smirk appeared in his eyes and a torrent of evil Qi rushed out of his body and charged at Zhang Ruochen.

One could vaguely see shadows flickering inside the evil Qi as if evil spirits wanting to penetrate Zhang Ruochen’s body.

“Gu Tianyin, is this guy planning to use his dark arts to directly control Zhang Ruochen?” Chi Sheng whispered.

Gu Tianyin came from an ancient dark cult from Cha Realm, with a long and profound heritage, and a large collection of strange witchcraft.

Anyone who meets people like Gu Tianyin would often be very wary of them.

An incomparably evil power enveloped Zhang Ruochen, but the attack was aimed directly at Zhang Ruochen’s soul.

Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen’s felt his vision fading to black as if he had fallen from the heavens straight into hell, and his body became cold and numb.

“Hmph.”

Zhang Ruochen let out a heavy grunt, as the Martial Mark of Time and Space at the center of his eyebrow quickly revolved as the many divine marks imprinted inside the Sea of Qi of Divine Light appeared, unleashing an extremely potent power as it warded off all of the dark power trying to infest into his body.

This was not the first time his soul came under attack and had long mastered the way of dealing with it.

Being of the passive end of an attack was never Zhang Ruochen’s style.

As he shook both his arms, the Supreme Saint-level dragon soul and elephant soul appeared as all of the acupuncture points on both his arms and hands opened at the same time, unleashing a majestic torrent of saint Qi as he infused his Fire God’s Gauntlet and Armguards with them.

A terrifying flame rushed out from both the Fire God’s Gauntlet and Armguards, transforming into two flaming clouds as the space around them rippled by the scorching heat.

“Sky Soaring Dragon-Elephant”

Countless of dragon and elephant shadows rushed out of Zhang Ruochen’s palm, covering the terrifying flames unleashed by the Fire God’s Gauntlet and Armguards, seemingly trying to fill out the entire realm.

The roar of dragons and elephants shook the heaven and earth.

BAAMM!!

The evil Qi rushing towards him were all blasted away, and a vacuum zone ten of miles wide appeared centered on him.

Immediately after, Zhang Ruochen mobilized nearly one hundred thousand precepts of truth inside his body, fusing them into his fist strike, causing the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Palm strike’s power to increase by eightfold.

BOOM!!

All of the dragon and elephant shadows became even more tangible as their aura rose sharply, causing the vacuum zone to greatly expand, reaching a radius of hundreds of miles.

“Already cultivating a High-level Saint Art even before he culminates his Precept Dominion, and with the Path of Truth increasing his attack power by eightfold, Zhang Ruochen sure isn’t simple, but it doesn’t matter how strong he is, he won’t be able to change his fate.” Feng Gudao smiled faintly.

He himself was very powerful and controlling a Nine-step Saint King was not too difficult for him, but he had to admit that Zhang Ruochen was indeed stronger than him in some respects. He had yet to cultivate a high-level Saint Art, nor is his Path of Truth anywhere comparable to Zhang Ruochen’s.

To have one’s Path of Truth to increase one’s attack power by eightfold beneath a Supreme Saint, few, even those divine disciples of the Fane of Truth could actually pull that off.

But it was because of this Feng Gudao became more and more interested in Zhang Ruochen. If he could enslave Zhang Ruochen, the value of that would definitely be far greater than enslaving a Neverwither Supreme Saint.

Moreover, he can even steal Zhang Ruochen’s physical body. One needs to know that Zhang Ruochen possessed the supreme perfect physique and was a master of time and space. There was no one who would not want such a body.

For a while, a strange glint appeared in Feng Gudao’s eyes as he stared intently at Zhang Ruochen, as if he was admiring a perfecto work of art.

Zi Linglong also had a strange glint flickering in her eyes. If she could complete the cultivation of the Purple Emperor’s Scripture, she would also be able to master a powerful high-level Saint Art then and will not be any weaker than the high-level Saint Art Zhang Ruochen had cultivated.

Tracing back history, of all the Fane of Purple Sky’s disciples that had successfully cultivated the Purple Emperor’s Scripture, none of them were weaklings. All of them were able to reach the pinnacle of strength and could even fight against Neverwither Supreme Saints.

Even if she was still not comparable to Yan Wushen, or the Four Heavenly Kings of the Celestial Palace, the difference would not be too great, and the gap between their strength will be infinitely closer.
