Chapter 2128: Defeating the Supreme Saint
After a series of fierce battles, the starry sky outside the Grand Terminal of Merits had become empty. There were originally ten asteroids that were hundreds of miles in diameter around it, but now, they had been beaten into ashes.
In the beginning, Zhang Ruochen was still at a disadvantage, but gradually, he was able to fight evenly with Supreme Saint Jinhui and catching up with the pace.
Relying on the Secret Tome of Time and Space, he could use any Time and Space techniques with ease, and his power was multiplied.
‘How can Zhang Ruochen’s Time and Space techniques be so difficult to deal with? I can’t even get close to him.’ Supreme Saint Jinhui was anxious and annoyed.
Supreme Saint Jinhui’s power was indeed much stronger than Zhang Ruochen’s. Combined with the Spearmanship Saintwill, his halberd technique was also exceptionally tyrannical. However, it was restrained, and the effects of all his attacks were greatly reduced.
He couldn’t suppress Zhang Ruochen for a long time, which made Supreme Saint Jinhui uneasy.
If this continued, what reputation would he have left?
ROAR!
The Supreme Saint Jinhui roared into the sky. Hundreds of millions of Precept emerged from his body.
Whoever broke through the Supreme Saint realm, the number of Precepts in their body would immediately double fold and become more solid.
Therefore, as long as their foundation wasn’t infirm, after becoming the Neverwither Supreme Saint, the number of Precepts would not be less than the top-notch Saint Kings.
The Supreme Saint Jinhui cultivated more than 40 million Precepts in the Saint King realm. When he broke through to the Supreme Saint realm, it immediately became 90 million. After almost a thousand years of hardcore cultivation, the number of Precepts had reached 150 million, which was more than three times that of Zhang Ruochen’s.
However, the Precept cultivated by the Supreme Saint Jinhui were mainly Minor Paths, accounting for more than 80%. The Path cultivated from the Major Path and the Path of Supreme Saint only had less than 30 million. The overall quality could not be compared to Zhang Ruochen’s.
A ball of bright saint light flew out from the Supreme Saint Jinhui’s body. It gave off a sharp, domineering Qi and integrated into the Sky-Piercer Halberd.
It was the Spearmanship Saintwill condensed by the Supreme Saint Jinhui. Now that it was released, it means that he would be using his strongest move.
As the Sky-Piercer Halberd waved, the Supreme Saint Jinhui’s own Precept and the heavenly and earthly precepts within a radius of 10,000 miles were activated. They surged like a tidal wave.
Before the halberd technique was fully unleashed, a large area of the starry sky was already rippling violently. Even Zhang Ruochen’s Spatial Domain could not suppress it.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed slightly. Without any hesitation, he immediately formed a seal at the fastest speed. The Saint Aspects of Time and Dimensions in the form of a vortex appeared on his left and right respectively.
As the two invisible vortexes spun, they released an intensely powerful time and dimensional power and inserted it into the Secret Tome of Time and Space.
Instantly, countless fragments of time and space flew out of the Secret Tome of Time and Space. They collided with each other and merged into one. The fragments transformed into a powerful force that seemed to be able to pierce through the time and space of different periods.
Fusing both the power of time and dimensional power into the power of time and space was Zhang Ruochen’s trump-card technique. Even though he wasn’t very familiar with this power, he could still use it forcefully.
Of course, he couldn’t use the power of time and space casually. If he didn’t control it well, he would fall into it and be devoured by time and space.
Luckily, Zhang Ruochen was fully prepared this time. He had been using the power of time and dimensional power all this time. He was confident that he could condense the power of time and space in a battle with the Supreme Saint Jinhui.
BOOM!
The power of time and space struck hard. It ignored the barriers of space and clashed violently with the Supreme Saint Jinhui’s strongest halberd technique.
In an instant, a large area of the starry sky was torn apart and a terrifying spatial storm appeared. Even the mysterious River of Time appeared.
No matter how powerful the Supreme Saint Jinhui’s halberd technique was, it was destroyed in an instant.
Under the influence of the power of time and space, the shattered starry sky could not be repaired. Instead, terrifying distortions appeared and formed a huge black hole. It seemed like it wanted to devour everything.
Pfft.
Supreme Saint Jinhui was hit by the power of time and cough out a mouthful of blood. He was severely wounded.
To make things worse, Supreme Saint Jinhui was being sucked in by the black hole. He could not break free no matter what.
The area where he was in complete chaos. The terrifying power entered his body. Even someone with a powerful immortal saint body could not withstand it. Countless cracks appeared on his body and blood spurted out.
If this continued, Supreme Saint Jinhui’s immortal saint body would probably be shattered before he was sucked into the black hole.
“No...” Feeling the threat of death, Supreme Saint Jinhui started to reveal his fearful side.
He had never thought that dealing with a Saint King realm junior would be so dangerous. He was about to lose his life.
Zhang Ruochen’s face was pale. The time and space power he had condensed was too strong. It had completely gone out of control. He still couldn’t manage to bend the time and space power as he wished.
In fact, even a Supreme Saint would find it difficult to control the time and space power perfectly, let alone a Saint King. If he didn’t do it right, he might be exiled to an unknown time and space.
Seeing Supreme Saint Jinhui was about to be swallowed by the black hole, Zhang Ruochen could not help but frown slightly. He immediately took out the Zangshan Demonic Mirror and turned it into hundreds of miles in size to shield Supreme Saint Jinhui from the black hole.
Feeling the devouring power had dissipated, Supreme Saint Jinhui felt as if he had been pardoned. He did not dare to hesitate at all and immediately retreated at high speed.
The Zangshan Demonic Mirror released a vast amount of Demonic Qi that condensed into towering demon mountains and suppressed the black hole.
At the same time, Zhang Ruochen activated the Secret Tome of Time and Space and used the power of time and dimensional power to repair the chaotic time and space.
Before long, the black hole formed by the distortion of time and space disappeared without a trace, and the starry sky returned to stillness once more.
Zhang Ruochen did not actually care about the life and death of the Jinhui Grand Sage. However, if he killed the Supreme Saint Jinhui in front of everyone, the consequences would be unimaginable. The conflict between him and the Sunshine Civilization would probably never be alleviated.
Zhang Ruochen puts away the Zangshan Demonic Mirror and the Secret Tome of Time and Space. He gazed at the severely injured Supreme Saint Jinhui and said, “If you want me to release Jinyang Twin Kings and the others, the Sunshine Civilization had better send someone with a better attitude. In addition, I am returning to the Battlefield of Merits and continuing to fight with the Infernal Court. I don’t wish for anyone to stab me in the back. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being merciless.”
Zhang Ruochen’s voice wasn’t loud, but it clearly reached everyone in the Grand Terminal of Merits. It was obvious that he wasn’t just speaking to the Supreme Saint Jinhui.
After leaving these words, Zhang Ruochen flashed straight towards the Grand Terminal of Merits.
Supreme Saint Jinhui felt ashamed of himself and looked pale. He never thought that he would lose to Zhang Ruochen.
The middle stage of Neverwilt Realm Supreme Saint was destined to become a joke when he lost to a Saint King. It would soon spread throughout the corners of Celestial Court and Infernal Court.
Zhang Ruochen’s reputation would be getting better and his influence shall surpass that of defeating the Son of Darkness on True Dragon Island.
“How is this possible? Zhang Ruochen actually defeated Supreme Saint Jinhui.”
All the cultivators in the Grand Terminal of Merits were astonished.
The outcome of the battle was like a dream and surreal.
He was a Supreme Saint of middle stage Neverwilt Realm, who had condensed the Saintwill. Furthermore, he had the regal weapon. How could he be defeated by a Saint King?
Chen Hu’s expression changed drastically. He said in a trembling voice, “How is this possible? is The Scion of Time and Space really undefeatable?”
Xing Yuan’s expression also became serious. With the terrifying strength that Zhang Ruochen had displayed, he doubted that even if Archangel Michael came out of seclusion, could Zhang Ruochen be suppressed?
Bang!
Zhang Ruochen appeared in the Grand Terminal of Merits like a god descending from heaven.
Everyone in the Grand Terminal of Merits steps back involuntarily. Most of them showed their respect to Zhang Ruochen.
Xing Yuan and Chen Hu were panicking and wanted to find a hole to hide in. After all, they had been urging the Supreme Saint Jinhui to attack Zhang Ruochen.
However, Zhang Ruochen didn’t even look at them. Obviously, he didn’t care much about them.
Xing Yuan and Chen Hu heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, they were furious. With their status and strength, they were being looked down upon for once in their whole life.
Ji Kong Yuan appeared beside Zhang Ruochen and advised. “Divine Envoy, you may have defeated Supreme Saint Jinhui, but the Sunshine Civilization will not let this go. No matter what, you must ensure the safety of the Jinyang Twin Kings.”
“Why is that?” Zhang Ruochen asked curiously.
Ji Kongyuan said, “In the history of the Sunshine Civilization, there was a pair of powerful twin gods. Legend has it that they both grasped the canon and lived for many eras. In the end, they buried themselves in a secret place and only left the Golden Crow Ancient Cauldron they used in the outside world.
“These twin gods have many treasures and the Sunshine Civilization has always been eyeing on them. Unfortunately, only their descendants with the Golden Crow Ancient Cauldron can open their burial ground.
“However, after so many years, none of their descendants are pure-blooded. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, the clan is on the verge of extinction.
“It wasn’t until this generation that the Jinyang Twin Kings appeared. Their bloodlines were strong. They had the glory of the twin gods when they were young and were recognized by the Golden Crow Ancient Cauldron. Therefore, the Sunshine Civilization placed great importance on them and focused on their cultivation.”
Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen suddenly understood. He hadn’t expected the Jinyang Twin Kings to have such a backstory.
If Zhang Ruochen did kill the Jinyang Twin Kings and kept the Golden Crow Ancient Cauldron to himself, the Sunshine Civilization would definitely go crazy.
“After this battle, I think the Sunshine Civilization will go look for Yueshen. It’ll save you a lot of trouble,” Ji Kong Yuan added.
Zhang Ruochen’s heart skipped a beat. Although he didn’t want to trouble Yueshen with everything, it would be much easier if she came forward.
However, he also understood that this matter wouldn’t be easy to resolve. After all, he had killed the Tianzi of an ancient civilization, and everyone knew about it.
Otherwise, the Sunshine Civilization wouldn’t have sent an Emissaries Vigilant to deal with him.
After chatting with Ji Kong Yuan again, Zhang Ruochen did not linger in the Grand Terminal of Merits. He went straight back to Kunlun Realm through the dimensional teleportation array.
Supreme Saint Jinhui stood in the starry sky and watched Zhang Ruochen leave, but he was powerless to stop him.
He was seriously injured this time. If he had not cultivated to the Supreme Saint realm for nearly a thousand years, his immortal saint body would have been broken.
Eastern region of Kunlun Realm, Omen Ridge.
After many twists and turns, Zhang Ruochen returned to his homeland.
Because of Luoshui, the Omen Ridge became very lively. People often came here to seek out opportunities.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t stop for a moment. He rushed to Yunwu Commandery’s Royal Mountain as fast as he could.
“Who dares to trespass the Royal Mountain? Take My Punch.”
With a loud shout, a fat rabbit that looked like a pig appeared out of nowhere.
The rabbit looked aggressive. It stood up and punched out its forelegs like a fist.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were calm and unmoved. He casually slapped out.
The heavenly and earthly precepts and the Qi of Heaven and Earth were mobilized and condensed into a 300-meter-long hand with unparalleled power.
BANG!
The fat rabbit did not have any power to resist. It was directly sent flying by the big hand and embedded into a mountain.
It had to be said that Zhang Ruochen controlled his power very well. Otherwise, not to mention a mountain, even an asteroid would have been smashed into pieces.
“Ahem, Lord Chen, I was just joking with you. Did you have to hit me so hard?” The rabbit struggled out of the mountain, its eyes full of resentment.
This rabbit was naturally the greedy Mastadon-Devouring Rabbit. It had eaten all kinds of sacred medicine, but it had stolen a leaf of the Sacred Seven-star Lingzhi.
Every time he thought of this, Zhang Ruochen felt so angry and his blood boiling all over. That was a divine medicine, one of its kind in the world. Yueshen could recover 50% of her divine power just by refining a leaf. Its value was immeasurable.
“You dare to be disrespectful to the Crown Prince. You deserve it.”
The Demon Ape appeared and bowed respectfully. “Greetings, Crown Prince.”
Zhang Ruochen glanced at the Mastadon-Devouring Rabbit and the Demon Ape. He couldn’t help but nod secretly. After not seeing them for a while, their cultivation had already reached the Nine-Step Saint King cultivator of the Lesser Precept World. The divine medicine hadn’t been eaten in vain.
With their physiques, there shouldn’t be any problems dealing with ordinary top-cultivators from Precept Domain. They could even fight against top cultivators of the Precept Domain realm.
Zhang Ruochen had a thought and asked lightly, “Did anything happen while I was away?”
“Lord Chen, perhaps you are not aware. Someone has been watching this place since you left. Luckily, I was here. Otherwise, Royal Mountain would be in danger,” the Mastadon-Devouring Rabbit said.
The Demon Ape rolled its eyes at the Mastadon-Devouring Rabbit and said, “Your Highness, don’t listen to its nonsense. Someone indeed wanted to attack the Royal Mountain, but it was the fairy from Luoshui who eliminated several groups of people and stunned everyone.”
Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen’s heart skipped a beat. He knew without a doubt that the fairy from Luoshui mentioned by Demon Ape was Luoji, Fairy Tianchu.
It had been a while since they had parted at the Peacock Manor. Now that he had returned to Omen Ridge, he should go to Luoshui to see Fairy Tianchu.
Luoshui had the inheritance left by Luoshen and the Nine Carols Star. If there was nothing special, Fairy Tianchu would not have left.
“Your Highness, the master is waiting for you.”
While Zhang Ruochen was deep in thought, the voice of Demon Ape sounded again.
The master of Demon Ape spoke of was none other than Blackie.
Thanks to Blackie being its master, Demon Ape was able to receive the teachings of the Archdemon’s Ten Heavens. It cultivated slowly and gradually achieved its current state.
Zhang Ruochen came back to his senses and said, “Take me to it.”
The Demon Ape and the Mastadon-Devouring Rabbit did not hesitate and immediately led the way.
According to Zhang Ruochen’s request, Blackie rushed to Royal Mountain ahead of schedule and hid the key to the World Gate.
Zhang Ruochen had not only set foot in the awakened sacred land but there was no other place that could compare to Royal Mountain. This place was full of mysteries and magic. It was a good place to kept the key to the World Gate.
Sometimes, Zhang Ruochen even wondered if this place was an awakened sacred land?
