Chapter 2036: The Complete Zangshan Demonic Mirror
As soon as Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi left the palace, the Blood Empress appeared on a tall pavilion, watching as they departed into the distance.
Chi Linyuan’s figure appeared behind her as he whispered, “Master, are you going to let them go just like that?”
“What else then? If I force them to stay, Chen’er’s resistance toward me will probably increase. With things as they are now, this is already good. At least Lanyou has remained here, so I believe Chen’er will come back. I only hope the wait this time won’t be too long.” The Blood Empress sighed with a strong look of helplessness in her eyes.
If she could, she would of course wanted Zhang Ruochen to stay in the second level for a while longer, and then listen to her and fuse with the body of his past life.
However, right now, that would obviously not happen. These things had to be done gradually, and rushing it will only be counterproductive.
Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi moved quickly, and not long after, they had arrived at the unique passage leading to the first level.
No one came to intercept them, and that allowed Zhang Ruochen to breathe a sigh of relief.
As they took a glance at the blood-soaked steep mountain from a distance, Zhang Ruochen grabbed Mu Lingxi’s hand as they entered the blood-colored vortex.
A moment later, Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi darted out of the blood-soaked gully and left the second level without a hitch.
“If we did not go there in person, no one would have thought the second level would look like that.” Mu Lingxi said contemplatively.
Zhang Ruochen nodded. “Yes, based on the results of our explorations in those days, I’m afraid that there are probably more than one or two gods who had fallen in the second level. It is really a mysterious and terrifying place.”
From his observation, the most mysterious places inside the second level probably had something to do with the fallen gods, so much so that even the Blood Empress was not able to fully take control of the place.
“Um... I have something for you.” Mu Lingxi hesitated.
Zhang Ruochen immediately asked, “What is it?”
With a turn of her hands, Mu Lingxi took out a dark stone the size of an egg. It was unassuming at all, and if it was left on the side of the road, no one would have noticed it.
If one were to look closely, though, one would discover that there were countless arcana patterns hidden on the surface of the stone. They crisscrossed one another and made observers feel dizzy.
The moment the stone appeared, Zhang Ruochen felt that something was throbbing inside his sea of Qi.
Before he could react, the Zangshan Demonic Mirror flew out of his Divine Light Sea of Qi
Without the need to rouse it, the Zangshan Demonic Mirror activated on its own as countless supreme inscriptions appeared on its surface. They radiated thick demonic energy and formed rows of black mountains, not unlike an ancient demonic mountain that could crush everything.
A powerful suction force was released from the mirror and instantly latched onto the black stone in Mu Lingxi’s hand.
Subtle ripples appeared on the surface of the mirror and immediately, the black stone flew directly into the mirror.
“Quickly, use your power to envelope the Zangshan Demonic Mirror.” Mu Lingxi urged.
Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen did not think too much as he hurriedly unleashed his powerful saint Qi and completely wrapping the Zangshan Demonic Mirror fully penetrating into the mirror.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen had finally realized that the black stone that Mu Lingxi took out should be the missing core of the Zangshan Demonic Mirror.
As he had expected, the vessel spirit of the Zangshan Demonic Mirror was inside that black stone.
Once the two completed their fusion, the Zangshan Demonic Mirror would be a complete Supreme Sacred Artifact, and its power would be far beyond what it was now.
If it was a complete Zangshan Demonic Mirror, Zhang Ruochen, with his current strength, would not be able to control it.
However, for some reason, the Zangshan Demonic Mirror had clearly suffered severe damage, and the vessel spirit would also suffer the same, and was no longer at its peak form.
Even so, one would do well not to underestimate the vessel spirit of a Supreme Sacred Artifact.
Zhang Ruochen thought that it would have taken a lot of effort, and some pain to gain control of it, but what he did not expect was the vessel spirit of the Zangshan Demonic Mirror had never tried to resist him, allowing him to easily control it.
Not long after, the power of the Zangshan Demonic Mirror retracted and returned to calm.
It was obvious that something had changed in the Zangshan Demonic Mirror as the several cracks on its surface had disappeared, while the supreme inscriptions on its mirror surface became even denser.
Holding the Zangshan Demonic Mirror in hand, Zhang Ruochen frowned slightly as he looked at Mu Lingxi and asked. “Why is the core of the Zangshan Demonic Mirror in your hands?”
“It... It was given to me by the Blood Empress.” Mu Lingxi lowered her head, not daring to look Zhang Ruochen in the eye as she whispered.
She knew Zhang Ruochen’s temper. In the twenty days that they were on the second level, the Blood Empress had sent numerous treasures over, but Zhang Ruochen never even took one of them. But now she had taken something from the Blood Empress, which was sure to annoy Zhang Ruochen.
In fact, without Mu Lingxi’s answer, Zhang Ruochen had already guessed it. After all, if the core was already in her hands, Mu Lingxi would have already given it to him, why wait until now?
At the same time, Zhang Ruochen also understood Mu Lingxi’s thought process. All she wanted was for him to have a complete Supreme Sacred Artifact as this thing was undoubtedly a great help to him.
No matter how strong a Supreme Sacred Artifact was, without a vessel spirit, it would not even compare to those newly refined Supreme Sacred Artifacts.
It may not even compare to a top-tier King’s Weapon even.
It was because the top-level King’s Weapon’s vessel spirit almost possessed Supreme Saint-level powers.
At this point, Zhang Ruochen had no way to rip off the core from the Zangshan Demonic Mirror, and at the same time, it was unlikely for him to just abandon it like that.
After losing the Azuresky Pagoda, the Zangshan Demonic Mirror was the only piece of Supreme Sacred Artifact he had left with him.
It was just that Zhang Ruochen did not expect at all that the core of the Zangshan Demonic Mirror would be in the Blood Empress’ hands.
From this, there was indeed a great connection between the Zangshan Demonic Mirror and the Blood Mirror, not unlike the Ancient Abyssal Blade and Blood Dripper.
Shaking his head somewhat helplessly, Zhang Ruochen kept the Zangshan Demonic Mirror back into his Sea of Qi and said. “Forget it, just treat it as I owe her a favor.”
Mu Lingxi raised her head, and looked at Zhang Ruochen with her big eyes, asking cautiously. “You’re not mad at me?”
“Why would I be mad at you? Mad at you for being too kind to me?” Zhang Ruochen reached out and touched Mu Lingxi’s face tenderly.
Hearing this, Mu Lingxi could not help but to pat her chest, letting out a long sigh of relief as she smiled playfully. “You scared me. Don’t worry, I’ll listen to you from now on.”
Zhang Ruochen grabbed Mu Lingxi’s slender fingers as he laughed. “Let’s go. Let’s go back to the Sect of the Blood God first. We’ve left for twenty days, I hope nothing went wrong.”
lnstantly, the two rose into the sky, and a few flashes later, they left the Endless Abyss.
Strangely speaking, the Blood Beasts on both the first and second level were all very quiet, completely treating Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi as if they were invisible, and did not show any intentions to attack them.
Come to think of it, this should have something to do with the Blood Empress.
At the edge of the Endless Abyss, four figures stood with their eyes all locked onto this dark abyss.
Although the four of them had deliberately concealed their auras, there were still some terrifying bizarre things around them like slowly rotating black holes, black stars that collapse voids, and the like.
The person with a strange black hole phenomenon seriously said, “The Endless Abyss is one of the Kunlun Realm’s forbidden grounds. Legend has it that there are three levels in it. They hide great secrets of the ages, but those who go down there never return.”
“Zhang Ruochen had suddenly entered the Endless Abyss half a month ago. It seems like he knows of some of the secrets of the Endless Abyss.
Zhang Ruochen’s entry into the Endless Abyss was originally very secretive, and for this person to know about it, the latter was undoubtedly very capable.
“It had been more than half a month now, Zhang Ruochen may have already died in the Endless Abyss, a pity for the treasures on his body.” Another person snorted coldly.
Behind this person was also another terrifying phenomenon. It was a blood-soaked demonic sword, and its murderous aura was surging. It had seemingly slaughtered countless living beings in the past, causing one to tremble down to the soul.
“No, Zhang Ruochen won’t die that easily. He’s probably entering the Endless Abyss this time to take the treasures that the Blood God left behind. Based on the information provided by Xuetu Shenzi, the Blood God seemed to have some unusual connection with the Immortal Vampires, but he took something important from them. That thing may very well be hidden in the Endless Abyss,” the man with the black star behind him said solemnly.
Hearing this, the expressions of the three others could not help but change. If this involved the Blood God of yore, and also the Immortal Vampires, no one dared to be careless.
The four people present were clearly led by the man with the black star phenomenon behind him. His cultivation was very high, and was at the pinnacle of the Heaven’s Reach-realm, a step away from the Path’s Anterior-realm.
Judging from the aura he was emanating, his true strength may be no weaker than some Path Anterior powerhouses.
“Hmm? Someone came out?”
Suddenly, the man with the black star’s expression changed slightly.
Whoosh!
Two figures flashed out of the Endless Abyss, it was Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi.
Instantly, Zhang Ruochen noticed the four people standing on the edge of the Endless Abyss as a cold glint appeared in his eyes as he spat coldly. “I haven’t gone looking for you lot, and you dare to show up inside the Sect of the Blood God’s territory? You think the sect has no one left?”
