Spatial power was not irresistible, and once the opponent’s power was strong enough, it could cause space to vibrate, thus defusing the spatial attack.
It was only in the Green Dragon Market Realm, where the spatial structure was quite fragile, that gave Zhang Ruochen the advantage.
After the large blood formation was torn apart, some of the Half-Saints with strong cultivation immediately drew back and fled the shattered spatial region.
Zhang Ruochen locked onto that Ninth Order Demi-Saint and chased after him, striking out a Luo Water Fist Technique.
“Heavenly River Division.”
With one punch, the entire oasis resounded with the sound of wind and thunder, and a dozens of feet long river of holy qi gushed out, spinning in a circle around Zhang Ruochen and crashing into the back of that Ninth Order Half-Saint.
“Boom!”
The pair of bloody wings on that Ninth Order Half-Saint’s back, in an instant, split apart, splattering out a large amount of blood.
From his mouth, he let out a low, miserable scream as he fell from mid-air. On his back, all the bones became shattered, and even his internal organs were broken and tattered, but on the contrary, he did not die.
The higher the Immortal Blood Clan’s cultivation level, the more powerful their life force was, making it difficult to be killed.
Zhang Ruochen’s holy qi surged like a god of killing as he hurriedly chased after him, striking out a second punch once again, bursting the flesh of that Ninth Order Half-Saint apart, finally killing him.
Afterwards, Zhang Ruochen continued to charge over in the direction of the blood pool, fighting soundly, the feeling of being propped up in his body was being vented out, and his entire being was in a state of extreme excitement.
He had a premonition that by continuing to maintain this state, he would soon be able to break through the realm.
The other three large blood formations, operating at extreme speed, intercepted Zhang Ruochen from three different directions.
Prince Qing Tian frowned and immediately sent out three sound waves to stop the main formers of the three large blood formations, ordering them to retreat and not to come into contact with Zhang Ruochen.
The tragic lesson just now had caused the Qingtian Clan to lose dozens of powerful people at once, and had also made Prince Qingtian realise that using a large combining formation to deal with Zhang Ruochen in the Qingdragon Ruins Realm was a rather costly thing to do.
In the event that Zhang Ruochen tore the space apart again and pierced through the blood formation, that kind of loss would be quite heartbreaking even for Prince Qing Tian.
Seeing Prince Qing Tian’s distress, Ghost Mist immediately stepped forward and said, “Your Highness, subordinate, please fight.”
The big man with two heads and four arms, Chang Wan, also took a step forward and said, “My subordinate also wants to go and meet the so-called Time and Space Transmitter for a while.”
Prince Qing Tian nodded and said, “The two of you will fight together, don’t take this lightly, Zhang Ruochen is able to block a dozen of Beast Kings with his own strength, he is by no means a weakling.”
Against Zhang Ruochen, it would be best to send out a strong person of the same level, so that losses could be minimised.
One must know that Ghost Mist and Chang Wan were both strong on the Semi-Saint Outer Ranking, one ranked at the ninety-second position and the other ranked at the 154th position.
The battle power of the two great experts was beyond that of a Beast King, and they could fight against some weaker Lower Realm Saints for dozens of moves without losing.
“Zhang Ruochen only managed to block more than a dozen Beast Kings by constantly escaping with the power of time and space, and in a truly hard encounter, more than a dozen Beast Kings would be able to break him into pieces with a single joint move.”Chang Wan did not place Zhang Ruochen in his eyes.
To be able to be ranked at the one hundred and fifty-fourth position of the Outer Ranking of Semi-Saints, Chang Wan was definitely a character who fought the heavens and the earth, and it was hard to meet an opponent under the Saint realm.
It was estimated that only super ruthless people ranked in the top ten of the Half-Saint List and the Half-Saint Outer List would cause him to be fearful.
The large blood formation and the small blood formation all retreated backwards, forming an area a hundred feet wide.
In the formations, hundreds of top powerhouses of the Immortal Blood Race stood, and they formed an encircling circle, surrounding Zhang Ruochen inside the central area.
In the air above the three large blood formations, there was a Thousand Lines Sacred Artifact suspended in each of them, emitting three strands of Thousand Lines Destructive Strength that cut off all of Zhang Ruochen’s paths of retreat.
Zhang Ruochen stood at the centre and looked over to the four directions, all of which were filled with thick blood mist, much like four walls of blood-red mist, connecting from the ground all the way to the dome of the sky.
“Wow!”
Chang Wan walked out from one of the fog walls, roughly three metres tall, with two heads and four arms, every step he took, the ground would vibrate violently for a moment, with a circle of blood light spreading outwards.
“There’s a road in heaven that you don’t take, but there’s no door in hell that you just barge in, Zhang Ruochen, do you really think that you can’t die in a hundred battles?”
Chang Wan’s two arms in front of him, each carrying a black lance, walked across to Zhang Ruochen with an imposing presence.
Zhang Ruochen glanced towards Chang Wan and said indifferently, “You’re not strong enough to fight me, let the Crown Prince of your Qingtian Clan come out to be qualified.”
“If you want to fight with the Crown Prince, you are still too far away, and you may not be able to break through this barrier of mine.”
Chang Wan was at least a first-rate powerhouse of the Qingtian Tribe, strong enough to fight with Saint realm beings, but to be belittled by Zhang Ruochen in such a manner was really beyond his tolerance.
As the words fell, Chang Wan decisively struck out, and the two ebony black lances, as if they were alive, grew a fine scale, gushing out lightning and blood light respectively.
Both lances were not ordinary battle weapons, and the power that erupted from them was close to that of a Thousand Stripe Sacred Artifact.
In fact, Zhang Ruochen did not underestimate Chang Wan, after all, Chang Wan’s ranking in the Half-Saint Outer Ranking was even higher than that of the Grand Secteur and the Second Secteur, so how could he be a simple character.
The slightest belittling of the other party could result in a gutter fall.
Zhang Ruochen mobilised his entire body’s Saint Qi and gathered it into his arms, and instantly, all seventy-two orifices in his body emitted Saint Light, connecting into a mysterious pattern.
In the distance, Prince Qingtian let out a soft eep from his mouth as he muttered to himself, “He’s actually cultivating his fleshly body as well, and he’s even cultivated his fleshly body to such an extent.”
The main reason why Prince Qing Tian cultivated his fleshly body was because, after obtaining an ancient scroll of gongfu, he could strengthen his fleshly body by absorbing blood, thus cultivating it step by step to the extent of becoming a saint of fleshly body.
A human who wanted to cultivate to the point where his fleshly body became a saint, that kind of difficulty was definitely much greater than Prince Qing Tian.
“Boom.”
Zhang Ruochen executed the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm, and when he struck the ninth palm, he sent Chang Wan flying.
Chang Wan landed back on the ground and skidded backwards for more than ten feet in a row, leaving behind a long pit groove.
“How could this be …… strong ……”
Chang Wan felt unbelievable, the other party’s palm force was so strong and masculine that it hit his arms as if they were going to be broken, his ten fingers ached and cracked, and even his two lances were a bit unstable to grip.
One must know that he had melted the body of a Human Saint, and his physical body was quite powerful, so how could he be defeated so quickly?
Outside the oasis, the Red Ant Beast King and Corpse Ancestor Bird Beast King glanced at each other and were both quite surprised as well.
“Compared to last time, Zhang Ruochen’s strength has grown by a large margin again. With my strength, I probably won’t be able to block a few strikes from him.”The Red Ant Beast King said.
The Corpse Ancestor Bird Beast King exhaled a long breath and said, “With today’s Zhang Ruochen, it’s estimated that only the Demonic Dragon Lord, the Kui Niu Beast King, and the Golden Armoured Scorpion King can suppress him.”
“If, on the other hand, I pass through the Third Paramount Sacred Tribulation and cultivate the Sacred Phase, I would be able to separate myself from him.”The Red Ant Beast King said.
The Corpse Ancestor Bird Beast King gently shook his head and said, “So far, Zhang Ruochen hasn’t used the Dao of the Sword, with the mysterious and unpredictable power of time. If, he were to go all out, I don’t know how powerful he would be?”
The Red Ant Beast King fell into silence, and after careful projections, it eventually realised that even if it passed through the third Paramount Sainthood Tribulation and executed its Saint Phase, it would most likely not be a match for Zhang Ruochen.
Those human cultivators, all of them were quite elated.
“With Zhang Ruochen’s current cultivation, it is already enough to engage some weaker Lower Realm Saints.”Wan Huayu secretly said.
In the oasis.
Zhang Ruochen suddenly developed a strong sense of crisis, a feeling that was like being targeted by a poisonous snake, once bitten, he would surely die.
“Swish!”
Performing Spatial Shift, Zhang Ruochen moved twenty feet sideways to the right.
At the same time, a black mist flew out from the ground and swung out a sword, cutting Zhang Ruochen’s residual shadow into two.
“Shadowless Escape Technique.”
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze sank as he touched his finger on top of his spatial ring and took out the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, slapping his palm on top of the hilt and striking the sword body out.
With Zhang Ruochen’s current Sword Dao realm, a casual strike was shocking and could explode the Sword V’s subtle might.
The Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword transformed into a ray of dark light, penetrating through the black mist.
“Plop!”
A drop of blood, spilled out from the black mist.
A muffled sound came out of the ghostly mist’s mouth as his true body was revealed, a horrified look in his eyes as he quickly fell backward, pulling away from Zhang Ruochen by a long distance.
Just now, the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword had penetrated through his abdomen, leaving behind a bloody hole and turning the entire abdominal cavity blood red.
Originally, he had wanted to surprise Zhang Ruochen and assassinate him, but he didn’t expect that he would be injured by Zhang Ruochen’s sword strike instead. Zhang Ruochen’s nerve reaction speed was frighteningly fast, allowing him to strike later.
Chang Wan once again stood up from the ground, then, turned around and faced Zhang Ruochen with another head.
This head was quite old, its face densely covered in wrinkles, and even its pair of arms were quite dried out, claiming a yellowish-brown colour without any moisture.
However, it was the physical body of a human Saint, so powerful that it could explode with Saint Force.
The reason why Chang Wan was able to be ranked at the one hundred and fifty-fourth position of the Semi-Saint Outer Ranking was because, he had melted the flesh of a Saint, and could burst out some of the Saint’s power.
“Zhang Ruochen, you’ve successfully provoked me.”Chang Wan roared harshly.
Zhang Ruochen said, “So what? It’s not like you’re my opponent.”
“Still dare to belittle me, it seems that I have to show you my true strength.”
On Chang Wan’s body, a blood-red thread surged out, like a spider’s web, intertwining and connecting with each other, and in the end, it coalesced into a holy phase that was more than thirty feet tall.
The form of the Saint Phase was exactly the same as Chang Wan, born with two heads and four arms.
The only difference was that the aura emanating from the Saint Phase was quite sacred, just like a divine image placed in a temple, with an impulse that made people unable to resist worshipping it.
“Actually cultivated a Saint Phase.”
Zhang Ruochen’s face finally revealed a look of gravity as he withdrew the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword and squeezed it tightly in his hand.
A cultivator would only be able to cultivate a Saint Phase if he had passed through the third Quasi-Saint Tribulation.
Once a Sacred Phase was cultivated, the cultivator only needed to condense for a while longer and could directly become a Saint on the ground.
In other words, Chang Wan had already reached the point of Quasi-Saint Grand Completion, and would 100% cultivate to the Saint realm, and was now just about to take that final step.
When the Sacred Book Talented Woman was compiling the Semi-Saint Outer Ranking, Chang Wan had not yet crossed the third Quasi-Saint Tribulation, and that was why he was ranked at the one hundred and fifty-fourth position.
As for now, Chang Wan’s ranking must have been able to be placed in the top fifty of the Semi-Saint Outer Ranking.
