God Emperor

Chapter 2170: One Who Wields Two Swords

The realm of stars became extremely unstable. The Primordial Infernal Yama Qi formed terrifying streams of air that shot out in all directions.

The streams of air looked like beautiful comets; even the best Nine-Step Saint Kings could be crushed into pieces if they were hit by one.

Yin Yuanchen tried his best to retreat by putting more distance between him and Wushen while he continuously dodged the attacks at the same time. Even with his strength, getting hit repeatedly by the air currents was not a good feeling.

“He’s too strong. How can someone in Saint Kinghood be so strong? This is the real Yan Wushen—peerless and unrivalled,” Yin Yuanchen was extremely shocked.

He did not dare to think about capturing or even killing Yan Wushen now, all he could think of was how to escape.

The mergence of Yan Wushen’s good and evil counterparts exuded an intimidating aura that made it hard for one to have the urge to resist him.

Yin Yuanchen thought to himself, even if he teamed up with Zhang Ruochen, they still wouldn’t be able to defeat Yan Wushen. If things went wrong, they would both die here.

Above the cloud of blood, Chi Kunlun was burning with anxiety yet he couldn’t do anything.

“I told you to leave, do you not understand? I don’t need you to save me. Leave!” Chi Kunlun shouted.

He believed that with Zhang Ruochen’s skills, this realm of stars wouldn’t be able to trap him if he wanted to leave.

If Zhang Ruochen stayed and fought with Yan Wushen who was currently at his peak performance, the outcome would be unpredictable. Nevertheless, Chi Kunlun did not want Zhang Ruochen to die here while saving him.

If that happened, he would live with guilt for the rest of his life.

At this moment, Zhang Ruochen did not have the time to ask about anything else. His was completely focused on Yan Wushen.

The stronger he was, the more he could sense how terrifying Yan Wushen’s power was.

A casual aura released by him could crush the stars and shatter the world.

“100 million Precepts and the Great Perfection of 10 kinds of Path. I have never expected the mergence of Yan Wushen’s good and evil counterparts to produce such a shocking transformation. I wonder if there’s anyone in history who’s in Saint Kinghood and more amazing than Yan Wushen ,” Zhang Ruochen thought.

In Saint Kinghood, reaching 100 million Precepts of Path would lead to all kinds of incredible changes, this was every cultivator’s dream.

However, this step was an enormous chasm. Even if one was only lacking one Path, it would still be difficult for them to cross it.

Everyone understood that as long as they took this step, it would lay down the most solid foundation of the Path and would have a massive impact on their cultivation in the future. It would even be the key in grasping the profound meaning to becoming a God in the future.

Whoosh.

All of the Primordial Infernal Yama Qi were attracted by a powerful force and quickly gathered together. The River of Precepts also started flowing backwards.

When everything returned to normal, Yan Wushen’s figure reappeared.

Yan Wushen’s good and evil counterparts disappeared, his complete true body appeared.

Yan Wushen’s aura was fluctuating between divine and evil, he was like a God but also like the devil. He was exuding an extremely dangerous aura and seemed very unstable.

The violent force surrounded Yan Wushen’s body, it shattered the glass in their surroundings and formed a vacuum zone.

As expected, Yan Wushen had just merged his good and evil counterparts, so he couldn’t control his newfound powers at will.

Yan Wushen stood in the dark void, he looked like an ancient God who had crossed time and space to arrive at this realm. His cold eyes looked around disdainfully.

“Zhang Ruochen, use your full strength to fight me,” Yan Wushen said coldly.

Yan Wushen pointed his finger as he spoke, his power of Origin was released.

Countless tiny particles condensed instantly. Their origin changed, it did not not matter what their origins were, they all turned into a dark golden metallic liquid that swept towards Zhang Ruochen.

Just as Zhang Ruochen was about to dodge the metallic liquid, it blocked all of his escape routes and quickly solidified into a giant ball.

Then, the ball was compressed rapidly. Its structure became more and more compact.

The pressure within the ball was extremely terrifying, even a Neverwither physique might not be able to withstand it.

This method used not only used the power of Origin, but also the Power of Dimensions. It was the perfect combination to easily kill an ordinary Neverwither Supreme Saint.

This was when Yin Yuanchen took out a silver-white long sword, he poured his Saint Qi nto it with all his might. This activated a majestic divine power within the sword, which condensed into a beam of 30,000-meter-long sword energy that slashed towards Yan Wushen’s direction.

He obviously could not continue to stand idly and watch this happen. If Zhang Ruochen does get suppressed by Yan Wushen, what came after this would not be good for him.

Yan Wushen glanced at Yin Yuanchen and waved his sleeve.

He shot out a powerful Primordial Infernal Yama Qi, it turned into a cloud of smoke that was deep emerald in color and a hundred million feet long. It looked powerful enough to sweep out the heavens.

Crack.

The beam of sword energy shattered the moment it came into contact with it, dissipating its divine power.

Yin Yuanchen’s expression changed slightly. He quickly activated the longsword in his hand with all his strength as he condensed dozens of defensive shields at the same time.

BANG!

The deep emerald cloud of smoke was unstoppable, it shattered all of Yin Yuanchen’s defense shields and sent him flying.

Cough.

Yin Yuanchen coughed out large mouthfuls of blood. If it weren’t for the extraordinary sacred robe he was wearing and the large amount of divine marks tattooed on him, his physical body might have already been in pieces.

A few more attacks of this level was enough to take his life.

Yin Yuanchen had to endure this whether he wanted it or not, his strength was not on the same level as Yan Wushen’s.

“Yan Wushen is so powerful. With his current strength, even if the the Four Heavenly Kings of the Celestial Palace joined forces, they would be no match for him,” Yin Yuanchen was shocked.

“Other than the Supreme Saint, only a handful of living beings can survive an attack from me. Your strength is not bad,” Yan Wushen said and ceased his attack.

BOOM!

At this moment, billions of sharp Sword Qi shot out of the metal ball, shredding it to pieces.

Countless crystal-clear flower buds appeared out of thin air and slowly bloomed.

Flowers blooming in the dark void, they could be described as beautiful and magnificent.

However, these flower buds bloomed and released an extremely powerful destructive power. All of the metal pieces turned into ashes and were swallowed by the dark void; even their most basic particles were not left behind.

Zhang Ruochen’s figure appeared again. He was surrounded by numerous Sword Lotuses and looked completely unharmed.

Seeing this, Yin Yuanchen suddenly came to the realization, “So this is Brother Zhang’s true strength, he was deliberately holding back previously.”

Yin Yuanchen gave it some thought and understood what was going on. Zhang Ruochen knew from the start that Yan Wushen had both good and evil counterparts yet he still dared to fight him. How could he only have the strength equal to Yan Wushen’s good counterpart?

This was undoubtedly a good thing; the stronger Zhang Ruochen was, the greater their chance of escape would be.

Zhang Ruochen held the divine sword and mobilized millions of Precepts with millions of Precepts of Swordsmanship as the focus. The other Precepts that he used were related Swordsmanship, this included the Precepts of Truth. He even mobilized the Canon of Truth.

The hilt of the sword from the Sword Vault was more than extraordinary and contained many mysteries. The usage of the Canon of Truth would allow him to forcefully activate part of its power.

Zhang Ruochen’s expression was solemn. The usage of the Earth Sword Soul made him enter the state of being one with the sword, he slashed him without any reservation.

Whoosh.

This was his most powerful slash, it contained all his enlightenment and knowledge of Swordsmanship, as well as his sincerity towards Swordsmanship.

The divine light that was condensed into a sword broke up into thousands of light swords. They carried an indescribably terrifying aura as they slashed towards Yan Wushen.

“Good timing.”

Yan Wushen was not afraid at all. On the contrary, he appeared very excited.

The Primordial Infernal Yama Qi surged out of Yan Wushen’s body and poured into the gloves that he was wearing.

At the same time, a tall figure appeared behind Yan Wushen. The figure was so tall the blue sky was right above above his head and hell was right beneath his feet, he was majestic.

“When Yan Wushen is angry, there will be bloodshed,” Yan Wushen let out a long howl.

Yan Wushen’s shadow that was behind him immediately moved in sync with him and punched.

A massive fist imprint appeared, it covered the lands and the skies.

The appearance of this fist imprint led to an extremely shocking phenomenon in this realm of stars—billions of beings were laid dead and countless Divine Demons covered with blood fell from the sky.

This phenomenon alone was enough to shock people to the core and make them feel fear.

Whoosh.

The thousands of light swords that Zhang Ruochen used revealed their incredible sharpness, they were invincible and brought the odd phenomenon in the sky to an end. They also destroyed the huge fist imprint.

The light swords then shattered and turned into a divine light once more, it disappeared into the hilt of the sword.

“That’s a very powerful sword technique. Unfortunately, it still isn’t enough,” Yan Wushen said.

Zhang Ruochen’s heart sank, even his strongest attack couldn’t harm Yan Wushen. This was not good news.

Although he had many trump cards, there were only few that could actually threaten Yan Wushen. Yan Wushen might even have ways to deal with them, including Sundial.

Yan Wushen stuck out his hand and flipped it casually.

In an instant, the space Zhang Ruochen was in changed greatly. The lands and skies were overturned as dozens of blood-red stars appeared around him.

Zhang Ruochen was at the center of a large area of space that was distorting violently. It was compressed and folded repeatedly, it turned into a cage that trapped him.

“The Great Perfection of Path of Dimension is indeed terrifying. It can actually completely suppress my Path of Dimension,” Zhang Ruochen was shocked.

His Path of Dimension was not weak, he was only one Path away from reaching Great Perfection. However, the difference of this single Path had a significant impact on his control of space.

Zhang Ruochen could not help but put away the hilt of his sword. With a thought, Saint Aspects of Time and Saint Aspects of Dimensions appeared on both of his sides. He put both his hands together and did a strange gesture.

He condensed the power of time in his left hand and power of space in his right. There was instantly a mysterious change as the two collided.

It was incredible, the power of the two ancient Paths quickly merged and turned into a brand new power.

“Destruction of time and space.”

Zhang Ruochen muttered and released the spacetime power he had condensed.

With his current cultivation, it would be difficult for him to control spacetime power. Even if he could condense it, it would only last for a short time. He would hurt himself if he wasn’t careful.

In the dark void, an illusory image of the River of Time appeared. It flowed slowly without a beginning nor end.

Countless Marks of Time flew out of the River of Time, making the time flow in this realm extremely chaotic.

BOOM!

Dozens of blood-red stars exploded. The surrounding space was torn apart and formed a huge spatial fault. It looked like a dark abyss that was consuming everything.

Zhang Ruochen opened the anomaly and used the Five-element Chaotic World to protect himself before rushing out as quickly as he could.

Zhang Ruochen finally flew out of the spatial fault after using a lot of his strength. The anomaly was still shattered. The blood Qi within his body churned violently, causing him to almost spit it out.

Fortunately, he had the protection of the Armor of the Fire God and divine marks, as well as the Five-element Chaotic Body that he had cultivated to the extreme.

Yan Wushen stared at Zhang Ruochen and said, “I’ll give you one more chance, work for the Infernal Court.”

Yan Wushen really admired a peerless genius like Zhang Ruochen. he really hoped that he could make use of him.

Of course, if Zhang Ruochen continued to be stubborn, he had no choice but to kill a genius like him.

Zhang Ruochen appeared very calm. He was trying his best to suppress the blood Qi that was churning in his body. He was silent but his determined eyes showed his stance.

“What a pity,” Yan Wushen shook his head slightly.

The next moment, Yan Wushen’s aura skyrocketed. His long black hair fluttered. An ancient book flew out of his body, it hung above his head and slowly opened.

Streams of arcane light of life and death flew out of the ancient book, they displayed the mysteries of life and death.

When Chi Kunlun saw the?Book of Life and Death, he bit his lip really hard until it almost bled. He shouted at Yan Wushen, “Yan Wushen, I agree to be your master. Let Zhang Ruochen go.”

Yan Wushen was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn’t expect Chi Kunlun—a man of stubborn character—to agree.

Yan Wushen then shook his head and said, “Kid, you’re still too naive. Do you think this battle can stop at a time like this? Zhang Ruochen and I represent this era. We must decide the winner, even if it means death. In an era, there can only be one invincible person.”

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were calm. He looked at Chi Kunlun and said in an indifferent tone, “Yan Wushen is destined to be defeated by me, why do you want him as your master? Just watch quietly.”

Anyone could hear the confidence in Zhang Ruochen’s words.

“Hahaha, how arrogant. Zhang Ruochen, let me see what you are capable of,”

Yan Wushen was about to launch a fierce attack before he suddenly sensed something. He couldn’t help but look up at the sky.

BOOM!

Two meteor-like sword lights—one black and the other red—were flying towards them. The realm of stars was split open.

Swoosh.

The two sword lights descended from the sky and appeared beside Zhang Ruochen. They turned into two simple longswords. One was black and wide, while the other was blood-red and slender.

The two swords hovered in the air. They represented yin and yang—life and death—and seemed to be able to seize the fortunes of Heaven and earth.

They were the Ancient Abyssal Blade and the Blood Dripper.

Zhang Ruochen had a close connection with the Ancient Abyssal Blade, even this realm of stars couldn’t completely block their connection.

The Ancient Abyssal Blade and the Blood Dripper immediately flew over from Ziwei Palace the moment he summoned them, the timing was perfect.

Zhang Ruochen’s long hair fluttered in the wind as the sword intents of the two swords merged. He looked extremely sharp and emitted a five-colored chaotic light, it was as if he’d become a peerless sword God.

With a wave of his sleeve, the Ancient Abyssal Blade and the Blood Dripper flew up at the same time. They were like lovers, they intertwined one another and formed a yin and yang Tai Chi pattern that covered the entire realm of stars.

The Ancient Abyssal Blade and the Blood Dripper finally had a chance to perform the strongest sword formation of the Liangyi Sect—the Ying and Yang Sword Formation—since the battle at the Sword Vault.

However, Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation and strength had improved tremendously compared to the previous time. His Swordsmanship had reached Great Perfection while the Ancient Abyssal Blade had become a regal weapon.

The Ying and Yang Sword Formation could only be mastered when two love each other with all their hearts.

The ‘two’ here did not refer to Zhan Ruochen and Chi Yao, but the Ancient Abyssal Blade and the Blood Dripper.

Buzz.

At this moment, the swords of all the cultivators in the Imperial City started trembling violently. They were being pulled by a powerful force and were about to fly away.

The cultivators were alarmed.

“What’s going on? Why are all of the Precepts of Swordsmanship heading to that direction?”

“What a powerful energy fluctuation. Who is fighting in the Imperial City?”

“This aura… has far surpassed Saint Kinghood. Could it be that a Supreme Saint has descended?”
