God Emperor

Chapter 2086: Three-Party Confrontation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Shenlong Temple ruins were very special, and the temple’s spatial structure was extremely complicated. Even a Saint King elite could not fly inside it. So, anyone who visited it could only approach the core area slowly from the outside.

In order to be able to seize more treasures, the powerhouses of the Infernal Court, the ancient civilizations, and the Skydragon Realm had already dispersed. They entered the temple ruins from all directions in order to ensure that nothing was missed.

It was just that the temple ruins were too big, occupying tens of thousands of miles. Moreover, the situation inside was complicated. Although there were many powerful elites within the various factions, they became scattered upon entering the grounds, and it was impossible to see one another.

Zhang Ruochen and his party also split up to make it easier to explore a wider area.

Of course, the distance between them was not too far. If anyone encountered any unexpected situation and sent a signal, everyone else could quickly rush over.

Only Blackie did not move alone and instead chose to stay by Zhang Ruochen’s side. With the two of them together, they could fight powerhouses of any level.

Before entering the ruins, Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power could still cover hundreds of miles. Now, however, it was once again greatly reduced, covering only a hundred miles at most.

Once they entered the core area of the ruins, the suppression of spiritual power would be even greater.

“There’s nothing here. They sure are very thorough.”

Blackie gritted its teeth.

They had gone several hundred miles deep into the ruins, but they have found nothing. Forget the most precious of treasures, they did not even see any common ones, and that was really depressing.

Zhang Ruochen was not in a hurry, and he said, “We are still in the outermost area of the ruins. Maybe there isn’t any treasure here at all. Let’s go deeper, but we must speed up a bit or we will fall behind the two armies. Then, whatever treasures that might be available will never be ours.”

“The treasures will only be kept temporarily by them. It will be mine in the end. Let them collect more so that when they are reaped, there will be some sense of expectation and excitement.” A glint appeared in Blackie’s eyes.

As he spoke, Zhang Ruochen released his spiritual powers to explore his surroundings while he continued to dart forward.

There were many dangers within the ruins and it was necessary to maintain a high degree of vigilance at all times in order to navigate the place.

Along the way, there were broken walls and traces of battles. In many places, destructive energies from the remnants of divine power remained. They were enough to kill a Saint King or even a Supreme Saint.

“Huh? There are treasures here.”

After going in 2,000 miles deep, Zhang Ruochen and Blackie finally found something.

A bronze war spear was stuck in the middle of a blood pool with a width of tens of feet. It was a massive spear, standing at dozens of feet and could be seen from a distance.

Hundreds of feet away from the blood pool, Zhang Ruochen stopped as his eyes were affixed to the bronze war spear. However, a trace of pity unwittingly appeared in his eyes.

The bronze war spear was truly of high grade, and it was a genuine King’s Weapon that could tempt a Supreme Saint.

On the surface, the bronze war spear seemed complete, but unfortunately, the King-level inscriptions inside had been wiped out. So, the material itself had been ruined, leaving it without any value.

The reason was the blood pool over there contained the blood of an Infernal Court god. Within it was an extremely terrifying power of darkness that could corrode everything.

“Unfortunately, the bronze war spear used to be an extremely high-quality King’s Weapon. Not only has it survived the king’s calamity, but it has been tempered repeatedly for 129,600 years. It survived a Yuanhui Tribulation and went through forging by the power of the land, even having a shred of opportunity to evolve into a Supreme Sacred Artifact. There is a mark of the Shenlong Clan on it, so a master smith of the dragonkind must have created it,” Blackie said with great regret.

The Shenlong Clan could be described as a clan of many talents. They were very talented in the fields of refining tools, alchemy, brewing, formations, and the like. Plus, they had produced many masters in various fields.

All of this was related to the Shenlong Temple’s former glory. In fact, many cultivators made a pilgrimage there just to obtain the various treasures refined by the Shenlong Clan.

The Kunlun Realm had spanned many generations, giving birth to many gods. Yet, of the legendary Divine Artifacts, there were only ten of them, and one belonged to the Shenlong Clan. It was in the taboo figure in the Shenlong Chaos Tower of Sun and Moon.

For them to be able to cast a divine artifact, it was evident how brilliant the Shenlong Clan was in the art of refining.

After a short pause, Zhang Ruochen and Blackie continued forward. Although the pool was full of divine blood, it was filled with the power of darkness and could not be collected at all.

Pools of divine blood like this were not uncommon in the ruins, but all of them had one thing in common, that was, that they contain an extremely terrifying amount of power and cannot be touched.

These divine blood were split during battle, and naturally carrying with them monstrous killing intent, as well as various violent powers.

If it was in outer space, this blood was enough to crush the stars.

“Hmm? An unusual spatial fluctuation. There is a hidden space in front of us.” Zhang Ruochen’s eyes lit up.

If it weren’t for his strong spiritual power, coupled with his identity as a master of space, it would have been impossible for him to detect it at all.

This also meant that this place should not have been discovered by others yet.

A look of pleasant surprise appeared on Blackie’s face, saying. “The Shenlong Temple is extraordinary, and contains hundreds of millions of hidden spaces. Almost all of them contain many treasures. The dimensions that were preserved after the temple was destroyed, the items inside them must be extraordinary.”

Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen could not help but to have a strong sense of expectation. The treasures that the Shenlong Temple had eyed and collected will not disappoint him.

A look of surprise suddenly flashed in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes. “Is it me seeing things?”

“What’s the matter?” Xiao Hei asked in confusion.

Zhang Ruochen said. “I vaguely sensed that there are people nearby, but when I use my spiritual powers for a detailed probe, I found nothing.”

Hearing this, Blackie’s suddenly showed vigilance as it immediately released its spiritual powers, and at the same time opened its eyes of the Supreme Saint and began to scan very seriously.

“There’s no one, you were probably oversensitive. We should enter the hidden space first. If we delay too long, someone else might really come.” Blackie seemed a little impatient.

Seeing Blackie too had not detected anything, Zhang Ruochen did not dwell on his suspicions. Of course, he did not let his guard down. In the ruins, he had to keep his guard up at all times.

There was a hidden space right before them, and no one could ignore it. Even if they knew that there was great danger inside it, they would still venture into it for exploration.

Under normal circumstances, it was extremely difficult to open a hidden space in the Shenlong Temple, so Blackie was not sure whether Zhang Ruochen had the ability to open it smoothly or not.

“The structure of this space really is exquisite. You need to have a deep understanding of the Path of Space to be able to construct it. With my current attainments, many things are still incomprehensible, but entering it is not impossible,” Zhang Ruochen whispered.

To be able to construct such a space, one had to be a Supreme Saint cultivator of space, and one’s cultivation level needed to be extremely high.

Zhang Ruochen had focused a lot of his efforts on the comprehension of the Path of Space during his earlier seclusion, causing his Path of Space to improve greatly. If it had not been for that, he could only choose to stay away from such complex and arcane dimensions.

Blackie immediately urged, “Then, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and find a way to get in. I wonder what’s inside, sacred pills? Sacred artifacts? High-level Saint Arts? Perhaps some precious divine objects?”

In theory, any treasure might appear inside the hidden space.

Zhang Ruochen was also looking forward to it, so he did not hesitate and immediately took action. He mobilized his power of space and penetrated the void.

It was not suitable to open such a hidden space by force. Any carelessness could cause the dimension to collapse, and the treasures within might be destroyed in the process.

Hummm...

After a while, the space in front of him began to ripple, like a calm water surface being touched.

“Dimensional Rift, open.”

Zhang Ruochen growled as he carefully controlled his own power of space.

Whooosh!

There was a small opening in the space, and then it slowly grew larger like a beast opening its jaws.

“What a familiar demonic aura?” Zhang Ruochen was surprised.

Blackie’s eyes lit up. “This aura... I know it. A Demonstone Engraving is being hidden inside here!”

The Demonstone Engravings were the supreme treasures of the Demonic Path, and it was normal that there would be a collection in the Shenlong Temple.

Seeing the dimensional rift reached ten feet long, Zhang Ruochen and Blackie no longer hesitated as they flashed into it.

The hidden space was massive, and very dark, with strong demonic aura permeating throughout it, making people wonder if they had entered a demonic world.

At the center of this space was an ancient demonic mountain. It was tall and majestic, with demonic clouds roiling above it as demonic phantoms loomed.

“Celestial Demon Mountain, no, an imitation of Celestial Demon Mountain, but it had already reached a King’s Weapon in terms of grading. The Demonstone Engraving is on the top of the mountain.” A glint flashed in Blackie’s eyes. Back in very ancient times, there was a great sect in Kunlun Realm, called the Celestial Demon Sect, and rumor had it that the 36 Demonstone Engravings were passed down by that ancient god.

Of the supreme treasures of the sect, aside from the 36 Demonstone Engravings, there was also Celestial Demon Mountain that could suppress the realm, and even gods were slain by it before.

Later on, for some reason, the Celestial Demon Clan fell apart, and the 36 pieces of the Demonstone Engravings were transferred out of the sect. Meanwhile, the mountain itself had changed masters several times before finally disappearing without a trace.

The matters regarding the Celestial Demon Sect and the mountain were an absolute secret, and little was known by those at present.

“The vessel spirit of Celestial Demon Mountain has seemingly been sealed, and so that saves us a lot of trouble. This treasure and the Demonstone Engraving on top of it is mine!” Blackie could not help but laugh.

A top-level King’s Weapon and its vessel spirit’s strength could be compared to a Supreme Saint. That was not something one could control so easily.

Baaaam!

A terrible power of darkness struck, shattered the power released by Blackie.

Immediate after, a powerful Bone Clan powerhouse appeared, standing almost 300 feet tall. It was an eight-armed bone ape that exuded a mighty aura.

“A mere owl dares to have thoughts of getting its hands on these treasures. Zhang Ruochen, I have to thank you for bringing me into this hidden space. As a reward, I shall kill you with the cruelest means possible,” the Eight-armed bone ape said menacingly.

Zhang Ruochen’s gaze sharpened, and he said, “One of the Bone Clan’s twelve reverends, the Eight-armed Reverend...”

Facts had proven that his previous perception was not wrong. There was someone nearby, but that party was very well hidden.

“Your entire family are owls, open your boney eyes wide. I’m a noble phoenix, and if you want to take my treasures, I’ll tear every bone off your body!” Blackie spat hatefully.

With the treasures before it, forget the Eight-Armed Reverend, even if the three bone emperors were there, Blackie would never take a step back being the way it was.

The Eight-Armed Reverend was furious. “You’re courting death!”

A vast aura of darkness emerging from the bones of the Eight-armed Reverend, converging onto one of the bone arms.

The Eight-armed Reverend’s bone arm transformed into a blade, and as he swung it, a black blade light slashed out straight at Blackie’s head.

The blade light was incomparably sharp, as if it could cut open everything, and was no weaker than Si Buxiu’s Saber of Four Seasons.

Whoosh!

Zhang Ruochen’s figure flashed, and instantly appeared before Blackie as he shot a punch out.

The Fire God’s Gauntlet was activated, unleashing blazing divine fire that wrapped around his fist, like a cloud of fire.

Baam!!

The blade light shattered, and the aura of darkness inside it was also burned into nothingness by the divine flames.

“If it was all twelve of the Bone Clan reverends, perhaps I would still be wary, but you alone don’t have the right to show off before me,” Zhang Ruochen said faintly.

The Eight-armed Reverend emanated an extremely terrifying murderous intent and icily said, “Zhang Ruochen, since you are so anxious to die, I’ll grant you that wish. I heard your Five-Elements Chaotic Body is very powerful, and I wonder how much stronger I’ll get after refining it.”

“You want to kill me? I’m afraid you don’t have the ability to do so.” A shred of murderous intent too appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes.

In addition to looking for the Key to the World Gate, Zhang Ruochen also hoped to kill the powerhouses of the Infernal Court when he entered the Shenlong Temple.

The Netherkin’s Son of Darkness, the Nether Fane’s Seven Top Killers, the Bone Clan’s three emperors and twelve reverends... Killing any single one of them was enough to cause the Infernal Court to seethe in pain.

He had let the Seven Top Killersescape earlier, but he did not expect the Eight-armed Reverend to hand himself in on a silver platter.

Just as Zhang Ruochen was about to make his move, several more figures flashed in from outside, all of them exuding a powerful aura of darkness.

“Zhang Ruochen is really here. Killing him is a great achievement.” A rather surprised voice sounded.

Seeing the several figures that had appeared, Zhang Ruochen could not help but frown slightly.

The ones who came were no one else but six of the reverends of the twelve Bone Clan reverends. All of them powerhouses.

Counting the Eight-armed Reverend, there was more than half of them, and not many could take them head-on.

The Eight-armed Reverend sneered. “Zhang Ruochen, I know that you are a difficult one to deal with, so I have come prepared. Inside this hidden space, your wings are as good as clipped.”

Although Eight-armed Reverend was very confident in his own strength, he had never underestimated Zhang Ruochen. After all, Zhang Ruochen was able to escape from the dark cage set by the Si Buxiu and the other two of the Seven Top Killers. He alone might not be able to do anything to the latter.

“Hahaha, for me to find a hidden space. What powerful aura of the Demonic Path, there must be important treasures inside it.”

With insolent laughter, a group of people appeared from another direction and came before Celestial Demon Mountain.

“Hmm? Zhang Ruochen and the seven reverends of the Bone Clan.”

As his eyes moved, the smile on Sunshine Tianzi’s face suddenly disappeared as a wary look appeared in his eyes.

“How could they find out this place too?”

Sunshine Tianzi was secretly furious.

He had thought that only his people had discovered this place. It never occurred to him that there were already two other forces already confronting one another.

At this moment, Zhang Ruochen and the seven reverends of the Bone Clan also turned their gazes to the Sunshine Civilization’s people.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became very tense, as all sides were vigilant and no one rushed to make a move.
