At the centre of the seven-coloured haze was the altar that had been abandoned in ancient times, and at this moment, there was a groove pattern in the altar, and scarlet blood surging, emitting a divine light.
The sacrifice was over, and the Sacred Dan became a Dan.
The Dan Furnace, had already been put away, only Zhang Ruochen was still sitting in the centre of the altar, eyes closed, in a state of meditation.
Earlier, Zhang Ruochen had indeed been injured by the White Sun Arrow shot by Prince Qing Tian, suffering a heavy blow, rapidly losing his life force, and almost falling.
However, after falling into the seven-coloured haze, the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood in the world of the scrolls released a huge vitality that penetrated through the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram and injected into Zhang Ruochen’s body, helping him to dissolve the deathly strength of the White Sun Arrow.
The injuries on Zhang Ruochen’s back and chest had long since healed, leaving only some faint scars.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen had taken a Holy Pill and was making a full sprint to the Ninth Order Half-Saint realm.
The Sacred Pill was made using the Sacred Flower and Divine Dew that carried the Sacred Source Spiritual Spring, as well as a variety of Sacred Medicines, combined together, before it was refined into an elixir that naturally possessed quite powerful medicinal properties.
As the medicinal power of the Saint Pill was released, the Saint Qi in Zhang Ruochen’s body became thicker and thicker and was surging. In the pores, seven-coloured light escaped, making the flesh look like it had turned into seven-coloured glass.
This Saint Pill refined by Little Black was even more violent than the medicinal properties of the Ninth Grade Saint Yuan Pill, causing the power fluctuations in Zhang Ruochen’s body to become increasingly powerful, even space was vibrating slightly.
Fortunately, the spatial structure around the Dragon Peak Mountain was very solid, otherwise, there would definitely be a collapse.
Yellow Smoke Dust, Sun Dadi, Murong Yue and the others received Little Black’s voice transmission and all withdrew to the top of the mountain, retreated to the edge of the altar, and looked over towards Zhang Ruochen, who was seated at the centre of the altar, and saw that his body’s vitality was exuberant, and his aura climbed higher and higher, and he breathed a sigh of relief underneath.
“Boss is truly immortal, suffering such a heavy blow, but surprisingly he didn’t fall.”Sun Di Di let out a laugh.
“Your Highness’ body is blessed with the Holy Brightness Central Empire’s fortune, he is the true son of God, who can kill him?”
Murong Yue was originally extremely injured, but at this moment, her eyes were radiating a bright lustre.
As long as Zhang Ruochen was still alive and the main backbone was there, then, no matter how critical the situation was, the crowd would be able to continue to persevere.
Standing on the back of the Green Dragon Stone Sculpture, Little Black looked over towards the crowd and let out a smile, “This time, a total of eight Sacred Pills have been refined, and all of you will be able to share one.”
“Wow…”
Little Black took out five of the holy pills, using his holy qi to hold them up and suspended them above his claws.
The holy dan was like a pigeon egg-sized sheep’s fat jade stone, emitting a brilliant and crystalline light, and on the surface of the holy dan, a circle of dan qi ripples escaped.
“Great, it’s finally become a Dan. I’m going to swallow the Holy Dan and cross the second Paramount Sacred Tribulation.”
Sun Di Di’s eyes glowed as he let out a long whistle and snatched one of the holy pills over, swallowing it in one gulp.
Afterwards, he jumped to a recessed position on the altar, still maintaining the form of a Flame Giant Spirit Monkey, and went all out to refine the Holy Dan.
Up to this point in the battle, everyone was extremely injured and had paid a huge price.
Of course, as long as the holy dan could become a dan, then everything was worth it.
Huang Yichen, Princess Baili, Murong Yue, and Qing Mo all took the Holy Dan as well, and began to impact a higher realm.
The Holy Dan had the medicinal properties to heal injuries, although the Dan Qi escaped, causing the wounds on everyone’s bodies to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Little Black, on the other hand, continued to manipulate the Illusion Formation, blocking the Savage Beasts and Immortal Blood Race that wanted to break in and buy them time.
Zhang Ruochen was the first to break through the realm and become a Ninth Order Half-Saint, and the holy qi emanating from his body surged in all directions, forming a layer of holy qi waves several zhang high.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen could clearly feel that his power had more than doubled, and when he raised his hands and feet, he could make crackling and popping explosions.
“The medicinal power of the Sacred Pill is indeed very strong, only a small portion of it has been refined, and it has broken through the bottleneck to reach the early stage of the Ninth Order Half-Saint. If I were to refine all of it, I should be able to reach the peak of Ninth Order Half-Saint.”Zhang Ruochen looked quite satisfied and nodded his head gently.
It was important to know that the span of a Ninth Order Half-Saint was extremely large, early stage, middle stage, late stage, and peak, and with each small realm raised, the strength would grow by a large margin.
The medicinal power of the Sacred Pill, however, was able to help Zhang Ruochen raise his realm to the pinnacle of the Ninth Order Half-Saint, so it could be imagined how powerful the medicinal power contained in the Pill was.
Since the Sacred Dan had already become a dan, Zhang Ruochen also released the Sacred Eating Flower.
The roots of the Saint Eating Flower, much like a tentacle, spread out in all directions, completely wrapping the altar and penetrating deep into the soil as it began to absorb the essence of the entire Dragon Peak Mountain.
One must know that countless sixth-ranked savage beasts had died in the Dragontop Mountain, and a large amount of blood had fused together with the soil, containing a rather powerful Essence Qi and Saint Force.
Absorbing that essence qi and holy power, the fruit at the top of the Sacred Eating Flower was slowly growing, growing larger and larger.
As the fruit continued to grow, the cultivation of the Sacred Eating Flower, too, was growing rapidly.
“Zhang Ruochen, have you made a breakthrough in your realm yet? The power of the Illusion Formation is about to be unable to hold back the powerhouses of the Savage Beast Clans and the Immortal Blood Clan.”Little Black said.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t continue to refine the Sacred Pill and slowly stood up, saying, “There’s no need to block them, let them in.”
“Good.”
Little Black knew that Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation had greatly improved, and immediately, he revealed a smile and stopped controlling the illusion formation.
A few moments later, there were a dozen Beast Kings and a large group of Immortal Blood Race powerhouses that passed through the seven-coloured haze and arrived at the bottom of the altar.
“What exactly is the Ancient Relic Treasure?”
All of those Immortal Blood Race powerhouses were excited.
The body of the Kuiyu Beast King had shrunk a lot, probably only four or five metres long, and the ox hair on its body was like iron needles.
Its pair of huge eyes searched in all directions, wanting to find ancient relics.
However, the Kuiyu Beast King saw Zhang Ruochen standing at the edge of the altar, and in a split second, all of the bull hairs on his body stood up as he exclaimed in shock, “Could it be that he hasn’t stepped out of the Illusion Formation yet?”
A human who had been struck by the White Sun Arrow was actually standing in front of it intact, any living being who saw this scene would also wonder if they were hallucinating.
Those other Beast Kings, who also thought that they were still inside the Illusion Formation, only thought that it was a phantom, and didn’t take Zhang Ruochen to heart as they continued to search for the Ancient Relic Treasure.
“Boom!”
Zhang Ruochen’s finger pointed, and a sword light, flew out from his fingertip, directly smashing a Quasi-Saint realm Beast King into a bloody mist.
“Illusion, it must be an illusion.”
Just now, the strongest members of the Savage Beast clans and the Immortal Blood Clan had suffered a great loss in the illusion formation, and even appeared to kill each other.
Thus, they were all quite cautious now and would not be easily fooled.
“It must be an illusion without a doubt, they are trying to scare us back. The more this happens, the more we can’t retreat, they are already at the end of their strength, as long as we break the illusionary formation, we will be able to suppress them all.”
An old man from the Immortal Blood Clan thought that he had seen through the truth and, thus, said so.
Only the Kuiyu Beast King was the only one who revealed a look of suspicion.
Its mental power was extremely powerful, close to mental power sainthood, and it somewhat suspected that the scene just now was not an illusion.
“Boom.”
Zhang Ruochen once again pointed out with a finger and struck out another sword qi, killing the Immortal Blood Race old man who had just spoken.
The Kuiyu Beast King was furious as he gazed at Zhang Ruochen carefully.
Just then, Zhang Ruochen also turned his gaze and stared towards it, and, with a faint smile.
Something wasn’t right.
That was no phantom, it must be Zhang Ruochen’s real body, he didn’t die.
“Quickly …… escape ……”
The Kui Niu Beast King finally realised that it was not good and roared out, spreading its hooves and wanting to vanish.
However, it had only roared out the word “quick” and the second word “escape” before it could even make a sound, when Zhang Ruochen arrived in front of it and stretched out a fist, striking it on top of its lips.
“Boom.”
Now, how powerful was Zhang Ruochen’s palm, just one strike knocked out all the teeth in the Kui Niu Beast King’s mouth, half of its head was dented, and a large amount of blood flowed out.
“Boom.”
Zhang Ruochen threw a second punch, striking the Kui Niu Beast King’s neck and sending it flying.
The Kui Niu Beast King was an ancient relic species that ranked forty-second on the Semi-Saint List, and every cow hair on its body could transform into a black spear, once nailing hundreds of elite human cultivators to death on top of the city wall of Winning Sand City.
However, at this moment, in front of Zhang Ruochen, it was powerless to fight back, as if it was a calf, being beaten all over the ground.
Because its mouth was smashed, it couldn’t even make a wailing sound.
In the end, Zhang Ruochen struck out a large hand seal and slapped the Kuiyu Beast King into mush, killing it completely.
Afterwards, Zhang Ruochen threw the corpse of the Kui Niu Beast King to the Sacred Flower Eater.
Even at this point, there were still some Beast Kings and Immortal Blood Race powerhouses who thought that the scene just now was just an illusion.?Only a small number of beings realised that something was wrong and slowly retreated, wanting to escape from the summit of Dragon Top Mountain.
Zhang Ruochen’s figure moved out horizontally and appeared behind the two Beast Kings, saying, “Where are you going?”
The two Beast Kings felt cold all over their bodies and roared at the same time, “Escape!”
They were unable to escape after all, as Zhang Ruochen’s two hands extended out at the same time, coalescing into two huge palms that directly crushed their bodies.
Next, Zhang Ruochen did not strike again, but only struck out some attacks to kill the living beings that tried to escape.
The roots of the Sacred Eating Flower extended out, and each root contained an extremely powerful force, killing all the living beings that intruded into the seven-coloured haze, turning them into its nutrients.?Zhang Ruochen didn’t rush out of the seven-coloured haze light, and was escorting Huang Yichen, Murong Yue and the others in the hope that they would be able to refine the Sacred Pill as soon as possible.
“What a strong smell of blood.”
Ghost Mist flew in mid-air, staring at the summit of Dragon’s Peak Mountain, his nose sniffing, his eyes were quite grave as he said, “Your Highness, something seems to be wrong, could it be that they encountered some kind of change in the midst of the seven-coloured haze?”
Although, Little Black did not continue to manipulate the illusion formation, the power of the illusion formation had not completely disappeared, and the outside world simply could not see what was happening within the seven-coloured haze?
“There is indeed something weird.”
Prince Qing Tian grabbed the Qing Tian Bow and flew downwards to the edge of the seven-coloured haze, then, with the strongest members of the Qing Tian Clan, he broke in.
