God Emperor

Chapter 2197: Moon Goddess Sensing Something

In Yuanchu Palace, all the powerful figures of Imperial Court looked at Zhang Ruochen with excitement and even reverence.

In their eyes, Zhang Ruochen was like a wargod who had descended, standing tall and imposing.

After injecting a large amount of the Spring of Life into Divine Scripture Maiden’s body, Zhang Ruochen came to Chi Kongyue’s side.

When Zhang Ruochen saw Chi Kongyue in a miserably weak state, his heart ached. The murderous aura within him grew stronger and stronger. The faction of Heavenly Realm had to pay the price.

“Father.”

Chi Kongyue cried, her eyes teary.

As Zhang Ruochen injected the Spring of Life into Chi Kongyue’s body, he said, “Don’t worry. Don’t be afraid. Father won’t let go of anyone who wants to hurt you.”

“I’m not afraid.”Chi Kongyue shook her head.

With the nourishment of the Spring of Life, Chi Kongyue’s life essence was quickly replenished. Her gray hair turned back to dark.

With the protection of Demon Ape, Chi Kongyue did not suffer any severe injuries. She had become miserably weak because she had burned her lifeforce and Saint blood.

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes swept over the other cultivators present.

Although he did not have a good relationship with Kunlun`s Central Imperial Court, he admired the courage and integrity these people had displayed. They were willing to fight against the elites of Heavenly Realm faction to death.

As long as such cultivators existed, there would be hope for Kunlun.

Whoosh —

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Ruochen took out a high amount of Spring of Life. It showered the gray-haired cultivators and entered their bodies.

The eyes of some of the powerful figures of Imperial Court were filled with mixed feelings; there was shame, bitterness, and grief.

Like Wang Shiqi, they had once seen Zhang Ruochen as a great threat, a rebel, and a renegade. They had recommended to Empress Chi Yao to get rid of Zhang Ruochen.

Later, when Zhang Ruochen left Kunlun, many people had regarded him as a traitor.

But now, Zhang Ruochen had returned to save them, regardless of their past feuds. Such magnanimity he had shown made them feel ashamed.

When Zhang Ruochen saved the elites of Imperial Court, those powerful figures of Heavenly Realm faction were already in a mess.

The Altar of Saints hovered above the Heaven Lake like a blazing sun, releasing released mighty Saint aura, imposing lockdown on the heaven and earth. There was no way out for Heavenly Realm faction elites.

Dragging his injured body, Archangel Michael quickly regrouped with the other elites. His expression became solemn and unsightly.

Who would have thought that Kunlun cultivators would have such a powerful trick up their sleeves?

“Break the altar,” Archangel Michael said in a deep voice.

Only by breaking the Altar of Saints that was restraining them, the lockdown on this place would disappear, and they could regain control of the situation.

All the powerful figures of Heavenly Realm faction understood this. Therefore, they attacked without hesitation. Beams of Saint light shot into the sky and attacked the altar.

All attacks launched through various methods—including sacred artifacts, Saint Techniques, and talismans—converged into a torrent.

“It’s a wishful thinking to break the restraint from the altar.” Han Qiu smiled coldly. There was cruelty in her beautiful eyes.

Guardian Dragon Pavilion elites and the Rogue Saints launched attacks at the same time and channeled their power into the Altar of Saints.

Whoosh–

The altar shone brightly and the Saint Aura it emitted became more and more vast. The patterns on its surface appeared clearly and interweaved into a net that covered the heaven and earth.

Many terrifying lightning bolts shot out from the altar. Each bolt was powerful enough to destroy a world.

BOOM!

The attacks of the Saints from Heavenly Realm were blocked by the lightning bolts and vanished. Many sacred artifacts were reduced into pieces.

The destructive force continued to crash down.

The entire realm was shaking.

The expression of Archangel Michael changed drastically as he roared, “Defend!”

A top Saint King started to execute defensive techniques. Some activated the Divine Marks on their skin, some used their Regal Artifacts to protect theimselves, and some stuck talismans on themselves.

KABOOM!

Crack!

The defensive talismans on some cultivators’ bodies shattered as they screamed in pain. Their bodies cracked like porcelain and then shattered into shards of red crystal.

Although the elites of the Heavenly Realm faction tried their best to resist, some of them still got hit and died.

The power of the Altar of Saints was too magnificent!

The cultivators of the Heavenly Realm faction who were still alive were all scared out of their wits. The situation was even worse than they had expected.

They could not destroy the altar. This meant not only did they lose the advantage, they were also in danger. They could not even flee the Heaven Lake easily.

The situation was getting worse. Without the restraints imposed by the two Fanes, Zhang Ruochen could use his Time and Space techniques as he pleased. His strength would surge upward. Who could counter him?

If things went wrong, they could get wiped out.

Without them knowing, their state of mind began to undergo changes.

Thud, thud, thud

Footsteps sounded.

Zhang Ruochen walked out of Yuanchu Palace. Ancient Abyssal Blade and Blood Dripper was revolving around him as he stepped on the stairway covered in bloodstains. Both swords were glowing with terrifying sword rays, cutting the space, leaving pitch-black Dimensional Rifts.

Zhang Ruochen’s posture was straight as he was standing tall like a mountain. He spoke in a cold tone, “Back then, when you were trying to harm me, I never hated you because we are serving different sides, following orders from our respective superiors. It was a conflict passed down by our predecessors. Neither I nor you have a choice. The feuds between us have long been destined.

“However, you’ve crossed the line by hurting my family and friends. Blood for blood, I shall spare none of you. There’s only one word for you all: Die!”

Every single word he uttered sounded like a thunder blast.

Each was loud and clear.

“Die!”

“Die!”

…

On the Altar of Saints, Guardian Dragon Pavilion’s members also shouted the same word, their morale soaring.

Most of the members of Empyrean Pavilion and Terrestrial Pavilion had gathered once they were summoned.

Empyrean Pavilion was made up of human cultivators.

Terrestrial Pavilion, on the other hand, was made up of Savage Beasts.

Many years ago, most of the members of the two pavilions were Saints. Now, all of them had attained Saint Kinghood.

The person who controlled the altar was the master of Empyrean Pavilion, Yan Liren.

Of course, this Yan Liren was only a Cocoon Body.

Yan Liren’s true body was in Endless Abyss. He had become a Supreme Saint. In other words, He could no show himself at Kunlun’s Battlefield of Merits which was monitored by Emissaries Vigilant.

Even though it was just a Cocoon Body, the strength that Yan Liren possessed was still powerful enough to be ranked at first-tier below Supreme Sainthood.

One must admit that Blood Empress indeed had some amazing skill. She could turn water into wine.

“Work together with His Highness. Kill all the cultivators from the Heavenly Realm faction. Spare none of them,” said Yan Liren.

The Altar of Saints started to rotate, and soon after, a series of attack launched.

Every attack, including fire blast, thunder strike, and windstorm attack, was powerful. Each was strong enough to kill a Nine-Step Saint King.

The fire took a human form, and the thunder was in the form of a palace building. The windstorm were like a dragon or python.

RAWWWRRR!

Emperor Yi’s Evil Spirit rushed out of Heaven Lake and opened its bloody mouth, swallowing the nearest Heavenly Realm cultivator in one gulp.

It had drunk a large amount of the Spring of Life, and its recovery ability was greatest than ever.

Le appeared on the surface of the water with an iron sword in his hand, water dripping from his long hair. His eyes were icy cold as he charged into the cultivators of the heavenly Realm.

He was indeed severely injured just now, but Life-Death Seal had already formed in his body. His life was tenacious. The forces of Life and Death within him were mutually convertible.

The Qi of Life could be converted into the Qi of Death.

The Qi of Death could also be converted into the Qi of Life.

It was an endless circle of life.

It was more difficult to kill him than to kill a Supreme Saint who reached Hundred-Shackle Realm.

“Come here.”

Zhang Ruochen reached out a hand and grabbed in the air.

A very weak Saint Soul flew out of the Heaven Lake and fell into his hand.

This Saint Soul belonged to Dongfang Qingyu. Although his body had been shattered by the impact from the Altar of Saints, his Saint Soul had escaped. He had wanted to hide in the Heaven Lake. Unfortunately, Zhang Ruochen had discovered him.

Dongfang Qingyu’s Saint Soul was terrified. His mind was shrouded in the shadow of death.

“I’m one of the Ten Divine Scions of the Fane of Truth. You can’t—”Dongfang Qingyu’s voice trembled.

“Well, there’s nothing I can’t do to you.”

Before Dongfang Qingyu could finish his words, Zhang Ruochen squeezed his Saint Soul into pieces.

After killing Dongfang Qingyu, Zhang Ruochen suddenly felt there was a portion of Canon of Truth entered his body.

As one of the Ten Divine Scions of the Fane of Truth, Dongfang Qingyu was indeed very talented in Path of truth. Otherwise, he would not have been able to cross the ninth region of the Sea of Truth.

He had a total of 0.09 percent of Canon of Truth, which was not a small number.

After all, the total of Canon of Truth was a constant “One”. Even if he could get 0.01 percent of it, it was very rare.

Although there were a large number of elites from Heavenly Realm faction and leaders from different Macroworlds present, very few of them held the Canon of Truth.

Zhang Ruochen’s Canon of Truth had reached 58-thousandth. He was one step closer to becoming the Envoy of Truth.

Swoosh

Blood Dripper and Ancient Abyssal Blade spun rapidly. Countless streaks of Sword Qi flew out and pierced through the cultivators of Heavenly Realm faction. None of their defenses could withstand it.

Perhaps they could block the first streak of Sword Qi, but when the second and third hit the same spot, there was no way they could block it even if they had Divine Marks with them.

This time, Heavenly Realm Faction had got on Zhang Ruochen’s nerve; they had overstepped his bounds. They could pay with their blood.

Did they really think that Zhang Ruochen would not dare to destroy their generation?

They were both Saint Kings of the ninth step, but their strengths were worlds apart.

Faced with Zhang Ruochen’s attack, all the cultivators of the Heavenly World sect panicked. They could not form an effective counterattack. Gradually, they lost the will to fight. They just wanted to run away.

“Saint Lord Pravus, take my kick.”

Zhang Ruochen’s legs burned. He released a cloud of fire. It exploded with divine might. He descended from the sky and stomped on Saint Lord Pravus.

Saint Lord Pravus looked up and saw a foot-shaped cloud of fire pressing down.

He mobilized all his strength and pressed his hands into the sky. He unleashed a high-level Saint Technique. It was a palm strike.

Realm Palm!

Boom

The power of Yanshen’s Leg collided with Realm Palm.

Saint Lord Pravus’s Supreme-Saint bones creaked as if they were about to be crushed. He roared in his heart, ‘Impossible, impossible. I was a Supreme Saint, a Supreme Saint at Hundred-Shackle Realm. How can I lose to a Saint King?’

BOOM!

Zhang Ruochen stomped his foot for the second time. Countless Divine Marks interweaved on his leg.

When the third stomp landed, Saint Lord Pravus’s Realm Palm was broken. The pressure exerted by the divine force above him was immense, forcing him to kneel on one knee. He could only try his best to hold out against it.

“A Descender who had broken his Shackles really can take beating.”

Zhang Ruochen took out Secret Tome of Time and Space and flipped to a page. His fingers moved on the page like playing a zither. Every time he moved, a stream of Time force flew out and cut Saint Lord Pravus.

Each stream of Time force would cut off 500 years of life.

After three streams of Time force, Saint Lord Pravus aged rapidly. He quickly burned his Saint blood, break through the restraint from Yanshen’s Leg, and escape.

“You managed to escapre even after losing 1,500 years of life. You got some skill.” Zhang Ruochen was slightly surprised.

At this time, Heavenly Realm faction had suffered heavy casualties. Saint King’s bones scattered everywhere; Saint blood flowed and dyed the Heaven Lake and oasis red.

“Demon… great demon… Zhang Ruochen… you’re not a human, you’re a demon…”

A beautiful female Angel’s voice trembled as she stumbled backward.

Her blue eyes were filled with fear.

Zhang Ruochen walked over step by step. He did not show any mercy at all. He said indifferently, “Demon? Isn’t what you did in Kunlun also a demon’s act? Yet you call me a demon? Fine, as you wish, I’ll be a demon, a great one!”

Ancient Abyssal Blade slashed the female angel. A bloody line appeared on her pure and beautiful face. Her graceful body split into two, and she died.

“Why can’t I kill Zhang Ruochen?” Yin Yuanchen’s eyes were popping out in anger.

He had finally gotten the chance to prove himself. Never did he expect this outcome.

Zhang Ruochen was too powerful. Even if he doubled his strength, he would not be able harm Zhang Ruochen abit.

“I can’t wait any longer. I have to do this even if I get punished later.”

Seeing that there was no way out, Archangel Michael gritted his teeth and took out a palm-sized yellow gourd. It looked very inconspicuous.

Driven by Saint Qi, the yellow gourd flew into the air and gave off a terrifying destructive aura.

Zhang Ruochen’s expression turned grim. He quickly threw out a Regal Artifact he had taken from the battlefield to block the incoming force. Then he dodged it by executing Great Dimensional Shift.

Boom!

The yellow gourd exploded, releasing destructive power.

The Regal Artifact instantly turned to dust.

At the same time, a large area of space shattered, revealing a 30-foot-wide Dimensional Hole. It was pitch-black. On the other side of the hole was the void.

“That was close. Never did I expect Michael would have such trump card. No, something is not right. he did not target me.” Zhang Ruochen narrowed his eyes and turned his gaze at the survivors of the Heavenly Realm faction.

Michael glared at Zhang Ruochen with hatred. He shouted at his comrades, “Quick, run into the void.”

Without a moment’s hesitation, the remaining hundred or so powerful figures of the Heavenly Realm faction rushed toward the Dimensional Hole as fast as they could.

“Have the Saint Kings of the Heavenly Realm faction gone mad? Don’t they know the void is a dead end?” Han Qiu chuckled on the Altar of Saints.

Inside the void was extremely dangerous. It could swallow everything. Even deities could not stay there for long.

Zhang Ruochen frowned and thought for a moment. Then he used Secret Tome of Time and Space to protect himself and chased after them.

“You won’t be able to run from me.”

Zhang Ruochen mobilized his Precepts of Dimension and Swordsmanship to Ancient Abyssal Blade and launched out a sword strike.

Crystal Flower Buds appeared one after another and surrounded the saint kings of the sects in heaven who were running away.

With a thought, all the flower buds bloomed in an instant. It was magnificent.

Countless sword Qi that combined the power of space burst out and covered the void.

BOOM!

Their bodies exploded and were cut into pieces by the sword Qi.

“No!”

Saint Lord Pravus looked back and saw Zhang Ruochen rushing toward him. He let out a desperate roar.

He had already suffered serious injuries. With bad luck, he had been eroded by the power of nothingness when he entered the void. At this moment, Zhang Ruochen caught up with him and pierced his back with his sword.

His extremely powerful physical body disintegrated in an instant and turned into nothingness.

This fallen state cultivator in the hundred-flail realm was not invincible on the Battlefield of Meritss after all. He was not even left with a corpse.

After entering the void, Zhang Ruochen’s advantage was even greater. In the blink of an eye, more than half of the Saint King cultivators from Heavenly Realm faction were killed.

Archangel Michael was miserable. His body was no longer there. Only his head was still flying.

Although Yin Yuanchen had been eroded by the power of nothingness, he could still resist for the time being with the protection of the God’s corpse. However, when he saw Zhang Ruochen falling in his direction, his face turned extremely ugly.

Just as Zhang Ruochen was about to kill him, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

He looked up..

A streak of divine light cut through the dark and deep void and flew straight toward him like a meteor.

“It’s… It’s the power of a deity. There’s a deity hiding in this void where Kunlun is. He wants to kill me. How could this happen? Which God is it?”

The power of a deity was invincible.

Zhang Ruochen’s expression changed again and again. He quickly took out the divine messenger staff given by Moon Goddess and blocked it.

Whoosh

The Divine Messenger staff was activated by the impact of the divine light. It passed through space and the Precepts of Heaven and earth. It connected to Mount Yueshen in Celestial Court and borrowed the power of Moon Goddess.

A powerful divine power was released from the Divine Messenger staff and shattered the divine light.

“This is bad! It’s impossible for the God to enter the void at this time. In other words, the God has been in the void for a long time.”

“Such a risk must mean something big.”

Zhang Ruochen did not dare to stay for a moment. After all, the divine messenger staff could only borrow a small part of the power of Moon Goddess. Who knew how powerful the god hidden in the void was?

If the divine messenger staff could not resist it, he would die here.

Zhang Ruochen immediately left the void as fast as he could.

He looked back and saw that the survivors of the Heavenly Realm faction had disappeared without a trace. In his field of vision, he found an ancient stone bridge that stretched across the void.

“Is that the Void Chaos Bridge?”Zhang Ruochen was even more shocked.

The so-called “Void Chaos Bridge”was a bridge that could exist in the void. It could connect two different spatial coordinates. It was even more secretive than a spatial transmission array, and even gods could not detect it.

However, it was extremely difficult to set up the Void Chaos Bridge. It required a lot of precious materials. The longer the span of the bridge, the more materials needed.

Even if it was only a mile long, the resources needed were enough to make a deity’s heart ache.

Why is there a bridge of nothingness? Where are the two spatial coordinates? Is It related to the peach tree? Zhang Ruochen thought.

..

The void.

An extremely tall deity opened his palm and looked down at Yin Yuanchen and the others. His eyes were filled with anger.

“A bunch of trash. You’ve done more than you can do. Now, Moon Goddess must have sensed my aura. All of my plans will be exposed. What’s the point of having you?”

Hearing the god’s rebuke, Yin Yuanchen and the others were all trembling, but they did not dare to retort.

If they could speak, they would say that Zhang Ruochen’s strength could not be described as a saint king. He was more terrifying than many Supreme Saints. How could they fight?

..

Celestial Court, Ziluo Heaven region.

Mount Yueshen.

Moon Goddess stood in the Guanghan Palace. She looked down at the mountains and rivers beneath her feet, comprehending the mysteries of Heaven and earth. Her quiet appearance was like a beautiful painting.

Suddenly, she sensed something. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly. “Why would a deity attack Zhang Ruochen? It seems to be the aura of TrueGod Xuanyi of Heavenly Realm.”

“Why does this old fox show up in the void near Kunlun?”

Zhang Ruochen would not enter the void for no reason. The probability of encountering a deity was very low.

But now, not only had he encountered a deity, that deity had even tried to harm him. Something was off about this. Something big must have happened.
