God Emperor

Chapter 2200: The Clash of An Era

In the depths of the bamboo forest surrounding Rainbow Pavilion, there was a large peach forest. It was currently the season for the peach blossoms to bloom. Each tree was full of pink and white peach blossoms. It was a beautiful sight like in a dream.

BOOM!

BOOM!

…

Bookworm and Twit were covered in blood as they stood outside the peach forest. They did their best to resist the attacks of the Infernal Court’s elites and prevent them from entering the forest.

Both of them were very tough. They were the powerhouses of the Saint Kinghood across all realms. Twit, in particular, was almost comparable to Yan Wushen when he had first fused with both his good and evil side.

If it weren’t for Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen, Twit would have been the most prominent figure of this era.

However, it was hard for two fists to fight against four hands. Facing the combined attacks of dozens of the top-notch elites of the Infernal Court, they couldn’t resist no matter how strong they were.

Fortunately, Master Fangcun had laid many array formations in the Rainbow Pavilion. Bookworm and Twit were retreating as they fought and that was how they were able to hold on until now.

Otherwise, they would have been beaten to death long ago.

During this process, Bookworm and Twit heavily injured three elites of the Infernal Court. They almost frustrated Lan Xuezi of the Ghost.

The Sacred Confucian Tome released a bright saint light. Tens of thousands of characters flew out and turned into stars. It surrounded Bookworm and Twit and blocked most of the attacks.

This Sacred Confucian Tome wasn’t the one that Divine Scripture Maiden had in her hand. It was a different tome written by the teacher of Bookworm and Twit.

The four Confucius forefathers of the Path of Confucianism had left behind a Sacred Confucian Tome. It was a most valuable treasure and contained the utmost inheritance of the Path of Confucianism.

The four Sacred Confucian Tomes were the brainchild of the four Confucius forefathers. Infinite wisdom was condensed within the tomes and could be said to be the foundation of the Path of Confucianism’s legacy.

As long as the Sacred Confucian Tomes existed, the Path of Confucianism would not be severed.

As the immediate disciples of the Confucius forefathers, both Bookworm and the Twit were more familiar with the Sacred Confucian Tome written by their teachers than anyone else. The power they could unleash was naturally much stronger.

“You two scholars are tenacious. The destruction of Kunlun is a foregone conclusion. No matter how you struggle, you can’t change anything. You both have the potential to become gods. It would be a waste for you two to die here. The Infernal Court would be the best place for you,” Yan Wushen said.

Ahem

Bookworm coughed violently. His body staggered and he almost fell to the ground.

Bookworm was severely injured. His body was full of cracks and almost drained of Saint Blood. He had to rely on his strong willpower to survive until now.

Bookworm steadied himself and said, “Our forefathers once said, when the heavens bestow a great task to a man, he must first suffer from his will. He will have to strain his muscles and bones. He also has to starve and empty himself. Any actions will be a distraction. Therefore, he has to be patient and perfect what can be perfected.”

“If I lose the firm belief in my heart, I would not want to stay alive and be a walking dead.”

Many elites of the Infernal Court were struck by his words and they frowned. Ever since they entered the Rainbow Pavilion, Bookworm had been talking about all kinds of nonsense. It was annoying.

Only Yan Wushen would have the heart to keep him around. As for the others, they all wanted to slap him to death.

Lan Xuezi’s eyes became cold and said, “Scholar, I shall end you here and now since you wished for death. After that, I will devour your Saint Soul alive.”

“His Saint Soul must be filled with magnificent righteous energy. Lan Xuezi, I’m afraid you won’t be able to endure it. It’s better to leave it to me.” An elite of the Nether Clan with ash gray wings laughed.

Lan Xuezi’s eyes were gloomy. He looked at the Nether Clan’s elite who just spoke and said, “Nether Fiend, don’t make such sarcastic remarks. If you were to be attacked like that, your situation wouldn’t be any better than mine.”

“Don’t make me sound as useless as you. The righteous Qi would not be able to leave a scratch on my Vile Nether Physique.” Nether Fiend arrogantly spoke.

Nether Fiend was born of the Nether Clan and was a genius nurtured by the Fane of Nether which was known as Nether Hall. He cultivated one of the Nether Clan’s five Paths of Heaven, the Vile Nether Deva Path. His strength was tyrannical to the extreme.

In terms of strength, Nether Fiend was slightly stronger than Nether Demon and Nether Buddha. Hence, when he participated in this operation, he was the leading character of the Nether Clan.

Seeing that Lan Xuezi wanted to say something, an elite from the Asura interjected, “Don’t quarrel for now. After we get rid of the two of them, you can do whatever you want. That Fangcun’s dimensional teleportation array is in the depths of the peach forest. We must breakthrough as soon as possible and complete the mission entrusted to us by the gods.”

The person who spoke had four eyes and four arms. There were countless Marks of Time dancing around him, causing the flow of time in the area he was in to be different.

He was none other than Wan Xin, who had sent Yan Wushen the Yin-Yang Equinox Flower. He was the immediate disciple of Asurendra Samay and he was also a Master of Time. He cultivated the Path of Time and was nurtured by the Fane of Asura. Although he was very low-key and didn’t have a great reputation, no one dared to underestimate him as he was still a disciple of Asurendra Samay.

If it weren’t for Zhang Ruochen’s body, Wan Xin wouldn’t have come to Kunlun, much less participate in this operation.

Yan Wushen glanced at Wan Xin and said, “Attack with all your strength. The situation could be different if you delay.”

As he spoke, Yan Wushen condensed the power of his Golden Giant Mode onto the Supreme Artifact-level gauntlet and displayed an extremely domineering fist technique.

Seeing this, the other powerful figures of the Infernal Court didn’t hesitate and attacked one after another. They didn’t dare to be careless in such a big matter.

Bookworm and Twit’s face turned solemn. They raise their spirits and release their spiritual power and Saint Qi without holding back. They pushed the array formation in the Rainbow Pavilion to the extreme.

The two put their palms together and combined their spiritual power with the peach forest behind them.

Whoosh

All the peach trees shook slightly, and wisps of spiritual energy dispersed and gathered toward Bookworm and Twit.

This peach forest was originally derived from the Saturn Peach Tree, so it was naturally imbued with a small amount of divine force. Now, it was all gathered by Bookworm and Twit.

That was the power of the Saturn Peach Tree.

It may be weak, but it was still a divine force.

A portion of the divine force merged into Bookworm and Twit, and their injuries recovered.

A large portion of the divine force merged into the array formation, causing the array patterns to become more solid.

No matter how bad the situation was, Bookworm and Twit had no intention of giving up.

…

On the other end, Zhang Ruochen led the group to drive the Altar of Saints to the Rainbow Pavilion at high speed.

When they arrived outside the bamboo valley, the Altar of Saints stopped.

They could not continue forward due to an invisible barrier in front of them that blocked the Altar of Saints.

“So this is a Realm-sealing Talisman. No wonder no one noticed it,” said Lu Baiming as he realized it.

Realm-sealing Talismans could only be refined by the top-notch High-Saint Talisman Master and Archsaint Talisman Master. They were said to be able to seal a realm and isolate it from the rest of the realms. They could cover up all the secrets of Heaven and even the gods would find it hard to discover.

At the same time, the Realm-sealing Talisman’s barrier was extremely sturdy. It will be difficult to break through from the outside.

There was no doubt that the Infernal Court had sent out High-Saint Talisman Master to control the Realm-sealing Talisman. Even a Hundred-Shackle Realm Supreme Saint might not be able to break in.

Zhang Ruochen looked around and said in a low voice, “What a powerful seal. It is even better than what the Heavenly Realm has set up in Ziwei Palace.”

With this seal, even if someone noticed something strange in the bamboo valley, they would not be able to do anything.

“The Heavenly Realm has my Saint Blood in their hands. As long as we break the array formation of the Rainbow Pavilion, we can use this to open the dimensional teleportation array and lock onto the spatial coordinates of the Saturn Peach Tree. We can not delay any longer,” said the Nine-heavens Maiden solemnly.

Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, “Use all your forces to activate the Altar of Saints and forcefully tear down the barrier.”

At this stage, the best choice was to gather the Army of the Celestial Court and launch an attack together. By doing so, breaking the Realm-sealing Talisman shouldn’t be too difficult.

But now, the situation was critical and Zhang Ruochen didn’t have time to do this.

More importantly, the Army of the Celestial Court was divided into many sects. Thus, It wasn’t easy to mobilize.

At this point, it was better to handle it himself than to ask for support.

The power of the Altar of Saints was activated, the blood patterns were revived, and dazzling saint light burst out, bombarding the bamboo valley.

Bang

The barrier that enveloped the bamboo valley appeared faintly. It rippled like water, but it wasn’t broken.

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed slightly. The Realm-sealing Talisman was stronger than he’d expected.

“I’ll borrow a treasure that can break the talisman,” said the Nine-heavens Maiden.

The Nine-heavens Maiden was anxious. She turned into a beam of saint light and left quickly.

Seeing the direction where the Nine-heavens Maiden left, Zhang Ruochen could not help but think. He vaguely guessed what treasure she wanted to borrow.

He collected his thoughts and said, “Continue to attack.”

The sooner they were able to breach into Rainbow Pavilion, the greater the hope of preserving the Saturn Peach Tree.

Once the spatial coordinates of the Saturn Peach Tree were locked, the Infernal Court would probably have a way to cut the Saturn Peach Tree in an instant even with the intervention of the gods of the Celestial Court.

At that point, no matter how much they did, it would be meaningless.

Two figures stood on a mountain not far from the bamboo valley. At this moment, they were both looking at the Altar of Saints.

They were the black-robed men who had sent the Saint Blood to the elites of the Infernal Court.

“Why is Zhang Ruochen Here? Did something happen in Ziwei Palace?” One of the black-robed men asked in a trembling voice.

Almost all the elites of the Heavenly Realm had gathered in Ziwei Palace. If something happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The other black-robed man said, “Let’s get out of here.”

They didn’t want to stay any longer where Zhang Ruochen was.

However, just as they were about to leave, they found that the space around them had solidified.

“Not good,” said the black-robed man.

Both of them were shocked. They realized that something was wrong.

Swoosh

A silver book appeared out of thin air. As it flipped, dozens of multi-dimensional spaces appeared, enveloping the two of them.

One of the black-robed men made a prompt decision. He took out a talisman that glowed with silver light and struck out.

Countless spatial inscriptions appeared from the talisman. They released extremely terrifying spatial power and wanted to tear apart the multi-dimensional space forcefully.

The other black-robed man took out an incomplete array diagram and struck out hundreds of array seals in a row, using all his strength.

Boom

The multivariate space shook and a large number of cracks appeared, but it did not collapse.

The silver book was closed after that, and the two black-robed men disappeared with the multivariate space.

On the Altar of Saints, Zhang Ruochen reached out and grabbed the Secret Tome of Time and Space.

His perception was very sharp. Even though the two black-robed men had deliberately restrained their aura, he still sensed it instantly and knew their identities at the first moment.

He flipped open the Secret Tome of Time and Space. On one page, two figures appeared. They struggled desperately, but couldn’t move at all.

Zhang Ruochen used a technique with minimal effort and the two black-robed men revealed their true faces instantly.

He was familiar with one of them. It was the leader of the Formation Sect, Zhou Zhen.

The other person looked very young, in his early twenties, handsome with long silver hair. His eyes were very unique. They were pitch-black, and there were no whites in them.

“The leader of the Fane of Dimension, Shentu Yunkong.”

Zhang Ruochen was shocked by the sight of Shentu Yunkong.

He was the most outstanding genius that the Fane of Dimension had nurtured in the past 10,000 years. He was extremely talented in dimensional techniques. Rumour has it that he could have completed his cultivation of the Path of Dimension.

Zhang Ruochen had not expected Shentu Yunkong to come to Kunlun.

What surprised Zhang Ruochen was that Shentu Yunkong was not in the Fane of Dimension. Instead, he was observing something outside the bamboo valley.

At this special point in time, Shentu Yunkong and Zhou Zhen appeared together outside the bamboo valley. No matter how one looked at it, there was something fishy going on.

Zhang Ruochen could not help but reach out and grab it. The items that Shentu Yunkong and Zhou Zhen had immediately flown out of the Secret Tome of Time and Space.

“Hmmm?”

Zhang Ruochen’s gaze was locked onto one of the Exquisite Dimensional Orb.

There were two people imprisoned in it. They were both bleeding and tortured beyond recognition.

“It’s Wang Shiqi and Sui Han,” said Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen used the dimensional technique to release the two of them.

Zhang Ruochen took out the Spring of Life with a wave of his hand and infused it into their bodies.

Compared to the Confucian cultivators who died in Syzygy Mansion, Wang Shiqi and Sui Han were undoubtedly very lucky to be alive.

Zhang Ruochen searched carefully for Shentu Yunkong and Zhou Zhen’s items, but could not find the Nine-heavens Maiden’s Saint Blood. This made his heart sink slightly.

Unsurprisingly, the Saint Blood of the Nine-heavens Maiden should have fallen into the hands of the powerful figures in the Infernal Court. The Saturn Peach Tree was in imminent danger.

“Break the Realm-sealing Talisman at all costs,” Zhang Ruochen ordered in a low voice.

He had no time to interrogate Shentu Yunkong and Zhou Zhen. The most important thing was to enter the Rainbow Pavilion.

“Someone is attacking from outside.”

All of a sudden, an Infernal Court’s elite sensed it.

The next moment, Great Prince Bloodwing of Asura said in a low voice, “It’s Zhang Ruochen. He broke through the siege of the Heavenly Realm.”

Boom

At this moment, an even louder noise sounded.

A crack was forcefully torn open in the barrier constructed by the Realm-sealing Talisman.

Zhang Ruochen used the dimensional technique and rushed in with the Altar of Saints as fast as he could.

The barrier had amazing repairability. In the blink of an eye, the crack disappeared without a trace.

Zhang Ruochen did not care about this. He drove the Altar of Saints and rushed straight into the bamboo valley.

Soon, the space in front of him became clear. The Precepts of Heaven and Earth became much more active.

This was a beautiful world and it was now in ruins. Its vitality was almost gone and had turned into barren land.

Zhang Ruochen had come to the Rainbow Pavilion in the past. Unfortunately, his cultivation was weak at that time. He had not discovered the secret of this place. He had not expected there to be such a vast world.

The Altar of Saints moved forward and finally came to the front of the peach forest.

“Finally, help has arrived. Kunlun is safe now.” Bookworm showed a hint of joy on his face.

Twit’s eyes locked on Zhang Ruochen. He said, “Another genius who has completed his cultivation. What a terrible era.”

Yan Wushen had already surprised him. He did not expect Zhang Ruochen to appear now.

He had been asleep for too long. The world had become incomprehensible to him.

Yan Wushen walked out of the crowd and stepped on the air. He looked straight at Zhang Ruochen and said in a clear voice, “Zhang Ruochen, I’m very happy that you didn’t die at the hands of the Heavenly Realm. Now, we can continue the battle that we last fought.”

Yan Wushen’s battle intent began to rise as he spoke. The Saint Qi and Precepts in this world surged toward him crazily.

Zhang Ruochen could sense that Yan Wushen had changed greatly. It was obvious that he had merged his good and evil sides completely, and he was now at his peak.

Compared to when Yan Wushen had first merged his good and evil sides, his strength had increased greatly.

Seeing the powerful Yan Wushen, Zhang Ruochen’s battle intent also rose.

With Zhang Ruochen’s current strength, only Yan Wushen, who was below the Supreme Saint, could be his opponent. In this era, perhaps only the two of them had cultivated to the completion of the Saint Kinghood.

Gazing at Zhang Ruochen for a moment, Yan Wushen said, “So you have also completed the cultivation of the Saint Kinghood. Good, very good. Only then can we have a good fight.”

He was not worried at all about Zhang Ruochen becoming stronger. On the contrary, he was afraid that Zhang Ruochen was too weak for him.

If he could defeat Zhang Ruochen too easily, then there will be no fun in it.

Being invincible for too long can be a bit boring. Yan Wushen had been roaming the Battlefield of Merits for hundreds of years without a true opponent. Until the day when Zhang Ruochen appeared.

He had been looking forward to this battle for a long time.

All the cultivators of Infernal Court were shocked by Yan Wushen’s words.

It was very rare for a peerless genius like Yan Wushen to be born in an era. One will have to spend hundreds of years and embark on an extremely dangerous road to succeed. How long had Zhang Ruochen been practicing? How could he have succeeded?

Such a speed of growth was too incredible.

Apart from Yan Wushen, almost no one present could see through Zhang Ruochen’s depth. They only felt that it was unfathomable.

In their eyes, even a Supreme Saint who had just entered the Hundred-Shackle realm might not be able to defeat Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen.

Only Wan Xin’s eyes shined and thought to himself, ‘The ultimate Five-element Chaotic Body and the completion of the Saint Kinghood. Rumor has it that he cultivated many Saints Aspects just like the creatures that are not among the five elements. What a perfect body.’

His master would like such a rare body.

After all, even Asurendra Samay hadn’t reached Zhang Ruochen’s current attainment when he was in the Saint Kinghood.

If he could possess Zhang Ruochen, Asurendra Samay’s strength would become stronger in a short time.

At that time, his status as a disciple of Asurendra Samay would rise among the Asura.
