Chapter 2205: Imperial Ruler on Hand, Peerless One Shall Be

Without the Deathkin High-Saint Talisman Master’s control, the barrier formed by the Realm-sealing Talisman was damaged. Its recovery speed was much slower and it couldn’t repair itself immediately.

Whoosh

Many elites hiding in the dark appeared one after another and rushed toward the gap.

Since they had already confirmed that there were elites from the Infernal Court in the Rainbow Pavilion, they naturally had no reason to stand by and watch. Besides, many people had already received the order from the Celestial Palace, but they were all blocked by the Realm-sealing Talisman and couldn’t get in.

In the Rainbow Pavilion.

The cultivators from the Celestial and Infernal Courts all looked at the gap of the barrier.

The morale of the Celestial Court was naturally high. The arrival of countless reinforcements was enough to turn the situation around and tilt the balance of victory in their direction.

The cultivators of the Infernal Court looked grave. They hadn’t expected that someone else would barge in from the outside after Zhang Ruochen.

“Kill Zhang Ruochen immediately and take down the dimensional teleportation array. We don’t have much time left.”

An elite of the Infernal Court roared.

As he spoke, he waved his hand and struck out many talismans at the cultivators who had entered the Rainbow Pavilion.

The other elites from the Infernal Court also attacked after they saw the elite make a move. Countless talismans were cast from all directions. The power they released was enough to destroy a primitive world.

The Infernal Court was well prepared to complete this mission and they had considered all possible situations.

The gap between the dimensional teleportation array was over a thousand miles away. Due to the obstruction of the elites from the Infernal Court and the large number of talismans they had thrown out, it was not an easy task for the reinforcements from the Celestial Court to rush over.

Yan Wushen calculated that the Infernal Court could only delay for 15 minutes at most.

If they could not take down the dimensional teleportation array and lock onto the spatial coordinates of the Saturn Peach Tree during this time, the mission would fail and they could only choose to retreat.

All the elites of the Infernal Court felt a strong sense of urgency. They were the elites of the ten clans of the Infernal Court. If they could not complete the mission, how would they save their face?

The elites might face some punishment if they returned to the Infernal Court empty-handed.

Yan Wushen said, “Zhang Ruochen, I wish to have a good fight with you. Unfortunately, Now is not the right time. Since you want to sacrifice yourself for Kunlun, I’ll fulfill your wish.”

He wanted to fight Zhang Ruochen fair and square.

Sadly, it was hard for him to get what he wanted today.

The?Book of Death?was revived and brought on a kingdom of death. It made the surrounding space become dead silent and destroyed all life in the world.

“Death is the eternal destination of all living things.”

An ancient and obscure voice sounded. It contained unspeakable and terrible magic power. It wanted to guide all living things toward death without hesitation.

Even Zhang Ruochen, Bookworm, and Moha’s spiritual wills were affected. Their Saint Souls trembled and were extremely uncomfortable.

Zhang Ruochen felt a great threat. He probably won’t be able to resist Yan Wushen’s attack in his current state.

‘Looks like I’ll have to use them,’ Zhang Ruochen thought.

Zhang Ruochen opened up his inner Qiankun Realm. A streak of divine light flew out and transformed into a ferocious beast. The beast is shaped like a demonic wolf, but with a huge dragon head, wings on its ribs, black scales-covered body, and four tails of different colors behind it.

ROAR!

The beast roared and it gave off a terrifying aura. It had reached the Hundred Shackle Realm and was much stronger than average Hundred Shackle Realm Saints.

It was Dragon Phantom Lord that Zhang Ruochen had tamed on True Dragon Island. A combination of four divine forces and his strength shouldn’t be underestimated.

As soon as the Dragon Phantom Lord came out, he opened his mouth and shot a streak of divine light toward Yan Wushen.

This divine light was formed from four kinds of divine force interwoven together, fusing and possessing a terrifying power that could destroy and melt everything.

Boom

The four-colored divine light was unparalleled, and it instantly destroyed the kingdom of death brought forth from the?Book of Death.

However, just as the four-colored divine light was about to touch Yan Wushen, a dark divine light suddenly burst out from Yan Wushen and perfectly protected him.

In the next moment, the dark divine light annihilated the four-colored divine light and shot into Dragon Phantom Lord.

Boom

Dragon Phantom Lord shattered like glass and its Saint Soul met the same fate.

With just one hit, the immortal Dragon Phantom Lord died and dissipated.

Only a huge four-colored divine force crystal was left. The sight of it was magnificent.

A Supreme Saint in the Hundred Shackle Realm had died just like that!

Zhang Ruochen was not surprised by it, as if he had already expected the result.

At this stage, Kunlun wouldn’t allow any elite above the Saint Kinghood to appear. Once the Emissaries Vigilant found out, they would be killed with no mercy.

However, the Realm-sealing Talisman was sealing the Rainbow Pavilion recently and cut off from the outside world. No one knew what was going on inside.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Ruochen hadn’t let Dragon Phantom Lord out because he had thought that there was a Divine Envoy from the Infernal Court. If Dragon Phantom Lord was attacked by an elite above the Saint Kinghood, then he would counterattack passively.

After all, everyone here was a top-notch Saint Kings. Zhang Ruochen couldn’t be the only Divine Envoy. The god of the Infernal Court would give Yan Wushen and the others the protection they deserved.

The truth was just as Zhang Ruochen had expected. Letting the Dragon Phantom Lord out was simply courting death.

However, at this point, he had no other choice. To protect the dimensional teleportation array, he had to sacrifice Dragon Phantom Lord.

It was worthy to sacrifice a Hundred Shackle Realm Supreme Saint to buy some time.

Zhang Ruochen thought that the leaders of the ten clans of the Infernal Court should all have the status of Divine Envoys. Which can be regarded as a kind of trump card.

In other parts of Kunlun, the identity of Divine Envoys might not be of much use. Just like on True Dragon Island, the moment Dragon Phantom Lord appeared, he killed the Army of the Infernal Court and forced them to flee.

However, it was different in the Rainbow Pavilion. With the hole in the Voidbridge of Chaos, the gods of the Infernal Court could use some treasures to transmit their divine force.

On the other hand, if the Infernal Court sent an elite beyond the Saint Kinghood to attack Zhang Ruochen, the Staff of the Divine Envoy given by Moon Goddess would also be activated.

A dark golden token floated in front of Yan Wushen. Countless Divine Mark interweaved on it, faintly emitting a terrifying divine might. It was this token that had released a terrifying divine light and killed the Dragon Phantom Lord.

“This is the monster you subdued on the True Dragon Island, right? I heard Son of Darkness was swallowed by this monster in one bite. If you didn’t break through the void, you might have succeeded. But now, you no longer have the chance.” Yan Wushen’s eyes were sharp, his body exuded a Primordial Infernal Yama Qi.

Zhang Ruochen said calmly, “The Celestial Court’s army has entered the Rainbow Pavilion. You won’t be able to resist it and your chances are out. If this drags on, all the elites of the Infernal Court, including you, Yan Wushen, will die here.”

“Zhang Ruochen, why are you talking nonsense? You will die before the Celestial Court’s army arrives. The spatial coordinates of the Saturn Peach Tree will be locked. Charge!” Shi Juexin roared with an impressive aura.

Once again, he summoned the gray mountain and poured in half of the purest power into the mountain. He pushed the mountain’s power to the limit at all costs.

They didn’t have much time left. They had to complete the mission no matter what price they had to pay.

Jadesky Bone Emperor and the Nether Fiend had the same idea, and they both used their strongest techniques to kill Zhang Ruochen.

If they could kill Zhang Ruochen and complete the mission, they would have two great contributions.

The other elites of the three clans didn’t hesitate either. They attacked Zhang Ruochen one by one.

Zhang Ruochen’s heart sank. In his current state, even if he could survive this round of attacks, he would be heavily injured and lose all his combat power.

“Lord of Stone and Lord of Sword, come forth and fight for Kunlun!” Zhang Ruochen’s voice sounded in the Qiankun Realm.

Zhang Ruochen valued both Lord of Stone and Lord of Sword very much. They both have great growth potential, far surpassing Dragon Phantom Lord. They could become his right-hand men in the future.

If he had a choice, he would not sacrifice them for anything.

On the other side, the Nine-heavens Maiden cast her eyes to where Zhang Ruochen was. She could not help but look anxious.

She immediately released her spiritual power and Saint Qi and infused them into the Imperial Ruler.

The Imperial Ruler was a mysterious item with infinite possibilities. It made the space under Nine-heavens Maiden shrink. The distance of thousands of meters became one 33 centimeters long. She took a step forward and appeared beside Zhang Ruochen.

Nine-heavens Maiden didn’t say anything. She activated the Imperial Ruler and smashed it at Yan Wushen and the others to fight against their attack.

Even without the vessel spirit, the Divine Artifact still had a terrifying power.

Of course, to activate it, one needed to use a huge amount of Saint Qi or spiritual energy. Ordinary Saint King cultivators wouldn’t be able to withstand it at all.

Billions of complicated Divine Mark appeared on the surface of the Imperial Ruler. Endless divine force surged out and suppressed the world.

Boom

The Imperial Ruler neutralized all the attacks of Yan Wushen and the cultivators of the three races from Infernal Court in an instant.

However, the divine light of the Imperial Ruler dimmed, and the power of the attack was exhausted.

Nine-heavens Maiden’s face became very pale.

She was already injured, and now that she forcefully activated the Divine Artifact, her body clearly couldn’t take it.

“Zhang Ruochen, I’ll leave the Imperial Ruler to you.”

Nine-heavens Maiden’s voice rang in Zhang Ruochen’s ears.

Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen reached out his right hand and held the Imperial Ruler, which was 3 meters long.

Without a doubt, Nine-heaven Maiden had communicated with the vessel spirit mark of the Imperial Ruler beforehand, so it could be controlled by Zhang Ruochen immediately.

“Imperial Ruler, one of the ten great Divine Artifacts of Kunlun.”

A strange light flashed in Yan Wushen’s eyes, and then his eyes became serious.

In the Middle Ages, the ten great Divine Artifacts of Kunlun could be said to be well-known. Their names shook the Celestial Court and the Infernal Court. Almost everyone knew about them.

Many cultivators entered Kunlun intending to collect the Divine Artifacts.

Not to mention a complete Divine Artifact, even a damaged one was invaluable.

Except for Zhang Ruochen, no one thought that the treasure that the Nine-heavens Maiden borrowed was a Divine Artifact.

With the Imperial Ruler in hand, Zhang Ruochen let out a long cry. All his gloom was swept away. There was no need to sacrifice the Lord of Stone and Lord of Sword to protect the dimensional teleportation array.

“Imperial Ruler, Kunlun is in imminent danger. Grant me power and destroy these invaders.”

The next moment, Zhang Ruochen operated the Empyrean Emperor Ming’s Scripture and poured all his Saint Qi into the Imperial Ruler.

Zhang Ruochen’s Saint Qi was far more powerful and of a higher quality compared to Nine-heavens Maiden.

To use the Imperial Ruler’s power to the best of his ability, Zhang Ruochen deliberately used the Canon of Truth to further activate the divine force contained in the Imperial Ruler.

Zhang Ruochen raised the Imperial Ruler with both hands and said with a fierce look, “Yan Wushen, take this.”

Among all the elites present, Yan Wushen was the biggest threat. As long as he was eliminated, the danger would be more than half solved.

Crash

The Imperial Ruler emitted dazzling divine light and condensed a solid blade that was thousands of meters long. It chopped down in the air.

At this moment, Yan Wushen’s expression finally changed.

Even someone as strong as him couldn’t help but feel a great threat.

As for the others, they were even more shocked. The Imperial Ruler in Zhang Ruochen’s hand was very different from the Nine-Heavens Maiden’s.

Being locked on by the Divine Artifact, Yan Wushen couldn’t dodge. He knew that normal methods couldn’t block this ruler.

Immediately, Yan Wushen activated the powerful Divine Marks engraved on his body, and all of them appeared clearly.

Creak

The ruler’s blade landed solidly on Yan Wushen’s shoulder, instantly shattering the Divine Marks.

However, taking advantage of this gap, Yan Wushen’s golden body rapidly shrank, from 30 meters to 30 centimeters. His body transformed into a stream of light, narrowly avoiding the ruler’s blade and retreating far away.

The most powerful golden body technique of Buddhism had two forms. When it became 30 meters, it could double its power and its combat strength was unparalleled.

When it became 30 centimeters, it could increase its speed and use it to escape.

Yan Wushen did not expect that he would use his golden body to escape.

The two Saint Kings of Infernal Court nearest to Yan Wushen were sent flying by the aftershock of the Imperial Ruler before they could react.

In front of Zhang Ruochen, a deep ravine hundred meters long appeared on the ground. The entire Rainbow Pavilion was almost split into two.

“Die!” Zhang Ruochen shouted coldly and waved the Imperial Ruler again.

Boom

The Imperial Ruler struck the Bone Clan Saint King who had been sent flying. Even though he had a Supreme Saint-level Bone physique, it shattered in an instant.

The Bone Physique couldn’t resist the Imperial Ruler, and the Saint Soul was destroyed.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t stop. He struck again and killed another Netherkin elite who had been sent flying.

Then, Zhang Ruochen held the Imperial Ruler. Like a god of death, he charged toward the other elites of the three clans.

“No!” A Stone Clan elite roared unwillingly. He tried his best to resist.

Unfortunately, it was all in vain. All his defenses were like paper in front of the Imperial Ruler and they were easily broken through.

The ruler landed an attack and he followed in the footsteps of the Bone Clan and Nether Clan elites. His bones were shattered and his Saint Soul was destroyed.

Boom

…

Zhang Ruochen waved the Imperial Ruler continuously. Every time he waved, an elite of the Infernal Court would be destroyed.

No weaklings were killed in the process. They were all top-notch elites first-tier below the Supreme Sainthood. They were extremely powerful and had many treasures, but no one could resist the Imperial Ruler’s attack.

As the saying goes, the situation will never stay the same. No one had expected the situation to change so quickly. It was so sudden that no one was prepared for it.

A moment ago, they had been trying to kill Zhang Ruochen. In the blink of an eye, their lives were in Zhang Ruochen’s hands.

“Hiss.”

Seeing this scene, both the cultivators of the Celestial Court and the Infernal Court couldn’t help but gasp.

The power of a Divine Artifact was so terrifying.

All of a sudden, the elites of the Infernal Court thought of retreating. Without waiting for the army of the Celestial Court to attack, Zhang Ruochen alone was probably not something they could fight.

They had planned everything, but they hadn’t expected that a perfect Divine Artifact would appear. This became the biggest variable.

Wan Xin was shocked and thought to himself, “The Imperial Ruler is in Zhang Ruochen’s hands. He is invincible below the Supreme Sainthood. Even Yan Wushen chose to retreat. It’s almost impossible to get Zhang Ruochen’s body.

Wan Xin’s master had ordered him to bring Zhang Ruochen’s body back. If he failed, he wouldn’t be able to answer Asurendra Samay.

As he thought, Wan Xin’s gaze suddenly locked onto Chi Kongyue, who was standing on the Altar of Saints.

A Master of Time with a Five-element Chaotic Body. Although it can’t be compared to Zhang Ruochen, it will have to do.’ Wan Xin thought of an idea.

Immediately, Wan Xin controlled the long River of Time, forcing back all the elites who were attacking him.

Then, he ignored all obstacles and rushed to the Altar of Saints.

The Altar of Saints was extraordinary, but it was restricted by the Bridge of Vaitarna, so its power was greatly reduced. The powerful force contained in it couldn’t be activated at all.

Wan Xin moved in a flash and he performed a ghost-like movement technique and arrived in front of the Altar of Saints in an instant.

Splash

The River of Time broke through the layers of obstacles and entered the Altar of Saints, enveloping Chi Kongyue in an instant.

“Put down the Little Princess KongYue.”

The Mastodon-Devouring Rabbit and the Demon Ape roared and attacked with all their strength, trying to shatter the River of Time.

Bang

The River of Time trembled and released an extremely terrifying power, which easily sent the Mastodon-Devouring Rabbit and Demon Ape flying.

The Mark of Time entered their bodies and cut off their hundreds of years of life, temporarily making them weak.

“Master, hurry and rescue Princess Kongyue.”

The Mastodon-Devouring Rabbit turned its head and shouted at Zhang Ruochen anxiously.

At this time, Zhang Ruochen had killed seven elites in a row. Two were from the Bone Clan, two were from the Nether Clan, and three were from the Stone Clan. He had killed so many elites of the three clans that they were terrified.

Zhang Ruochen was about to take advantage of this opportunity to kill Yan Wushen and the remaining elites of the three clans. When he heard this, he froze.

In an instant, Zhang Ruochen’s gaze locked onto Chi Kongyue, who was wrapped in the River of Time.

Seeing that Zhang Ruochen was distracted, Yan Wushen and the elites of the three clans immediately used their extreme speed and rushed toward the spatial hole where the Voidbridge of Chaos was.

This was the best chance to retreat. If they missed it and were surrounded by the cultivators of the Celestial Court, they would probably die.

As for taking down the dimensional teleportation array, they knew from the moment Zhang Ruochen got the Imperial Ruler that it was impossible.

At the same time, the other elites of the Infernal Court were also retreating. No one wanted to face Zhang Ruochen with the Imperial Ruler.

“Let go of Kongyue! Do You Want to Die?”

Zhang Ruochen shouted angrily and chased after Wan Xin.

Chi Kunlun hadn’t been rescued yet. He wouldn’t watch Chi Kongyue be taken away by the elites of the Infernal Court.

Wan Xin carried Chi Kongyue and said coldly to Zhang Ruochen, “You ruined the plan of the Infernal Court. You’ll have to pay a heavy price for it. Come to the Infernal Court and kill me if you dare.”

With that, Wan Xin jumped into the spatial hole and entered the void. He landed on the Voidbridge of Chaos and ran quickly on it.
