“Zhang Ruochen arrived at the royal capital and is excavating the mountain rocks at Dragontop Mountain, seemingly finding the most ancient relic treasure of the Green Dragon Market Realm.”
This piece of news spread across the outskirts of the royal capital, whipping up a violent storm.
In the Green Dragon Market Realm, the Dragontop Mountain had many legends, shrouded in an aura of mystery.
It was said that there were once ancient civilised kingdoms that sacrificed to heaven and earth at Dragontop Mountain, making the place appear even more sacred. Some time in the past, the aura of Longding Mountain rapidly dried up, turning it into a wasteland, and after a new dynasty was established, it relocated the place of sacrifice to the royal capital city.
At a time when the heavens and earth were about to dry up, if an ancient relic was really to come out of Long Ding Mountain, there were still many people who would choose to believe it.
This piece of news was naturally spread by Murong Yue and the six high-ranking Half-Saints of the Murong Family.
Upon hearing the news, Feng Yinchan was quite happy, and a vicious look appeared in his eyes, “Zhang Ruochen, you’re finally here!”
Subsequently, all the cultivators of the Ghost Raising Ancient Clan came out and started another round of provocation.
“Zhang Ruochen seized the heavenly treasures of the Ghost Raising Ancient Clan and the Corpse Catching Ancient Clan, and robbed a city of its wealth, and he still doesn’t know enough.”
“Dragon Top Mountain is the gateway to the royal capital, it must be a supreme treasure land, it may not be true that there are ancient holy relics buried there.”
“Zhang Ruochen, this great devil, is already so powerful now, if he is allowed to obtain the relics of the Green Dragon Market Realm again, who else will be able to restrain him?”
……
The cultivators of the Ghost Raising Ancient Clan knew very well that trying to provoke the crowd to deal with Zhang Ruochen was not an easy task.
After all, most of the cultivators who were able to cultivate to the Half-Saint realm were very shrewd and would not touch Zhang Ruochen, a hard nail, at all. Only by using treasures and tempting those greedy cultivators would anyone take the risk…
As for their claim that Zhang Ruochen had turned into a murderous devil, it was entirely an excuse for those cultivators who were foolish enough to convince themselves.
Upon hearing the news about Zhang Ruochen, Mu Lingshi, at the first opportunity, rushed towards Dragon Top Mountain.
“Finally coming to the royal capital, Zhang Ruochen, did you really go off the deep end because of cultivating the Dragon Image Prajna Palm?”Wan Huayu recited a sentence to herself, and then, unfurling a pair of gorgeous flaming phoenix wings, she sliced through the sky.
Not only were there many cultivators amongst the Human Race’s camp rushing towards Dragon Peak Mountain, the various races of Savage Beasts and the Immortal Blood Race had also received the news, and a large number of powerful beings left the camp, transforming into light shuttles and rushing towards the direction where Dragon Peak Mountain was located.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen and the others had all arrived at the summit of Dragon Top Mountain and were clearing the earth and rocks that covered the ancient altar.
The Dragontop Mountain contained a mysterious power that emanated from the inside out, causing the structure of the mountain to become quite strong, and even if it was just a piece of ordinary stone, it was as hard as Xuan Iron.
Gradually, the ancient altar revealed a rough outline, with a diameter of one hundred and eighty-six feet, emitting a light green light.
In the centre of the altar, there was a huge stone dragon coiled, the head and claws of the stone dragon had fallen off, appearing ragged and tattered, but with an ancient flavour, just looking at it also gave people a sense of awe.
As the altar was revealed, a green cloud unexpectedly condensed in the sky above the Dragon Peak Mountain, covering hundreds of miles in every direction.
“Swish swish.”
The sound of breaking wind, constantly resounded.
There were already quite a few living beings that had arrived at the outskirts of the Dragontop Mountain.
Instead of immediately approaching over, they collected the aura on their bodies and gazed at the direction of the mountaintop from afar.
Although many living beings wanted to seize the huge amount of heavenly treasures on Zhang Ruochen’s body, however, Zhang Ruochen was, after all, famous, having fought nineteen kings solo, single-handedly challenged the Qingtian Clan,…… and so on, a series of brilliant battles were enough to shock many living beings into submission.
Apart from first tier powerhouses, who would dare to be the first to rush up?
The vast majority of living beings, in fact, only wanted to fish in troubled waters. Among them, the forces that had a grudge against Zhang Ruochen wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Zhang Ruochen.
“The man at the top of Dragon Top Mountain is indeed Zhang Ruochen, I’ve seen him from afar once in Tiantai Prefecture.”
“Quickly look, a green-coloured auspicious cloud has condensed in the sky above Dragon Peak Mountain, could it be that there is really an unimaginable treasure coming out?”
……
As the ancient altar was revealed, the aura of heaven and earth underwent some subtle changes, causing a small-scale agitation, and many living beings were convinced that there was definitely a treasure coming out of Dragon Top Mountain.
More and more living beings gathered near the Dragon Top Mountain, and the fluctuations of holy qi that emanated from it, also became denser and denser.
Mu Lingshi stood in the emerald green wilderness, looking out at the distant mountain peaks, staring at Zhang Ruochen’s body, a look of delight appeared above her stunning face, about to cast her stance to rush over.
“Senior sister, don’t go over there rashly, if Zhang Ruochen really went off the deep end from practising kung fu, he may not still remember you and may strike at you.”
Qi Fayu transformed into a white stream of light and swept out from the forest, stopping Mu Lingshi.
On top of that, there was another Demon Sect Holy Maiden, Lan Caisang, travelling with Qi Fayu. She appeared in front of Mu Lingshi like a goddess wearing a blue precious garment.
“Even if Zhang Ruochen has become a demon, he won’t make a move against me.”Mu Lingshi was very convinced of this.
Behind her, a magnetic man’s voice rang out, “Even if Zhang Ruochen won’t make a move against you, could it be that those beings who want to deal with Zhang Ruochen won’t make a move against you?”
Mu Lingshi turned around and looked towards a short distance away.
Only to see that Ouyang Huan, the divine son of the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect, was sitting on top of a wheelchair, slowly marching over.
Behind Ouyang Huan, there was a large group of powerful people from the Demon Sect, all of them were ruthless characters of the Half Saint realm, and among them, there were also some elders who had reached the Quasi-Saint realm.
Mu Lingshi’s eyebrows clustered as she said, “Among the beings that want to deal with Zhang Ruochen, do they include you?”
Mu Lingshi was aware of the grudge between Ouyang Huan and Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen had not only taken away Ouyang Huan’s Boundary Son Seal, he had also chopped off a pair of his legs, such a hatred could not be said to be small. As long as Zhang Ruochen did not die, the resentment in Ouyang Huan’s heart would definitely increase by one point.
In fact, Ouyang Huan could completely regrow a new leg after taking the Holy Pill.
It was only that he had offended the Sacred Maiden’s Head Dignitary, Ling Fei Yu.
At that time, Ling Fei Yu returned to the Demon Sect’s main altar and with a strong attitude, he wanted to behead Ouyang Huan.
Ouyang Huan also had quite a huge force behind him, and could arm wrestle with Ling Fei Yu. The two sides gamed and fought until the sky was dark, and if it wasn’t for the Demon Sect’s Sectmaster appearing even though and suppressing both sides, it was not certain that the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect would have already split.
In the end, both sides had to compromise.
Ling Fei Yu got a huge amount of compensation, while Ouyang Huan kept his position as a divine son.
At the same time, Ling Fei Yu had an additional condition, which was-
The day Ouyang Huan’s cultivation did not surpass hers, then, he would have to stay on top of a wheelchair forever, disabled for the rest of his life.
This condition was completely humiliating to Ouyang Huan and a punishment for him.
Ouyang Huan gazed towards Long Ding Mountain, his eyes were rather misty, his tone was flat: ”It is not a gentleman who does not report his hatred, it is cowardice. Do you think that I am a coward?”
Mu Lingshi said, “Are you leaving me behind to threaten him?”
A Devil Cult elder chortled, “Daring to speak to His Divine Highness like that, Mu Lingshi, your guts are too …… big ……”
That Demon Cult Elder, who had reached the Quasi-Saint realm, saw Ah Le walk out from behind Mu Lingshi, and instantly, his voice came to an abrupt halt, as if someone had pinched his neck, making it impossible for him to continue speaking, his lips trembling.
Wearing a plain grey suit and holding an iron sword, Ah Le appeared ordinary, and his eyes, however, released an ice-cold light.
Even a Devil Cult Elder of the Quasi-Saint realm felt shivering when he glanced at him.
Ouyang Huan also glanced towards Ah Le before staring at Mu Lingshi again and said, ”Leaving you behind is just trying to save your life. The enemy that Zhang Ruochen is going to face is even more terrifying than you can imagine. If, Zhang Ruochen is able to last until the moment I strike, then, even I am afraid that I have to admire him.”
Among the cultivators who had rushed to Dragon Peak Mountain, there were also some who wanted to make a move to support Zhang Ruochen.
For example, those human cultivators that Zhang Ruochen had saved in Winning Sand City back then, there were actually some of them who remembered the favour and wanted to return it.
They were watching, wanting to see if Zhang Ruochen had turned into a murderous devil?
“Rumble!”
A black dust, rushing rapidly from the east, crushing boulders into pieces, crushing mountains into flat ground, and soon reaching the bottom of Dragon Top Mountain.
The black dust, gradually dispersed, revealing the figures of a large swath of savage beasts.
All of them were huge sixth-ranked savage beasts, possessing battle power comparable to that of a Half-Saint.
The weaker savage beasts had already left the Green Dragon Market Realm through the spatial wormhole and returned to the Kunlun Realm.
The ones that stayed behind were all sixth rank savage beasts, and only those with strength at this level were qualified to compete for the Spirit of the World.
“To actually be able to summon so many sixth rank savage beasts, could it be that the Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon has come?”
In this part of the world, many beings were excited.
As long as the Heaven Devouring Demon Dragon was the first to strike, then next, a chain reaction would definitely form, and more and more living beings would strike at Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen stood at the top of Dragon’s Peak Mountain, facing the harsh cold wind, his long black hair flying in the wind as he pulled out the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword and swung it down the mountain.
“Wow–”
A sword qi that was tens of miles long, like a black river, flew down from the top of the mountain and chopped in front of that group of sixth rank savage beasts.
On the ground, a three feet deep and tens of miles long crack of sword qi appeared.
From Zhang Ruochen’s mouth, he spat out a circle of sound wave ripples and coldly said, “This is the boundary, those who cross it will die.”
The Lin Wolf Beast King roared, “How dare you be so arrogant even at the brink of death. This king is partial to crossing this boundary, let’s see what you can do to me.”
The Lin Wolf Beast King’s cultivation was profound, and he was definitely an overlord in the Barbarian Secret Realm, and even though he had heard many legends about Zhang Ruochen, he still didn’t put him in his eyes.
With so many sixth rank savage beasts gathered together, even if Zhang Ruochen possessed three heads and six arms, he would still die for sure, so what was there to fear?
“Howl!”
A golden light radiated from the body of the Lin Wolf Beast King as it lunged forwards and crossed the sword qi boundary.
“Pfft.”
The Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword transformed into a black shuttle of light that flew down from the summit of Dragon Top Mountain, piercing through the head of the Lin Wolf Beast King and bringing up a mist of blood, before re-flying into mid-air and hanging over the Savage Beast Clan.
With a bang, the huge body of the Lin Wolf Beast King collapsed heavily onto the ground.
Originally, the savage beasts that wanted to follow the Lin Wolf Beast King across the boundary line immediately stopped their hooves, shivering with fear, terrified.
A powerful Beast King was killed in an instant, Zhang Ruochen’s strength was too terrifying, right?
Below the Dragon Peak Mountain, a chilling sound rang out as the cultivators of the major forces of the Human Race felt horrified.
Many of the cultivators who wanted to strike at Zhang Ruochen had to reweigh their own weight, and subsequently, developed the intention to retreat. A character of Zhang Ruochen’s level was simply not something they could provoke.
“Ow!”
An earth-shattering dragon roar sounded.
A vast demonic cloud, from the direction of the royal capital, flew in rapidly.
Vaguely, it could be seen that in the demonic cloud, there was a huge dragon shadow, as if it was a black mountain range, emitting a daunting aura of ferocity.
The head of the Heaven Swallowing Devil Dragon, poking out from the clouds, was as huge as a hill as it roared, “Zhang Ruochen, seeing this seat, are you planning to escape again this time?”
