Among the Martial Dao Saints, those who were able to cultivate the strength of their spiritual power to above the fiftieth rank could be described as rare.
Zhang Ruochen’s martial dao realm and the Earth Elemental Dharma King indeed had a gap between heaven and earth, however, his spiritual strength was much stronger than him, enough to conceal his strength from the heavens and the sea.
Zhang Ruochen quietly and silently embedded himself into the Zijun Hall and came to the outside of the Nine Dragon Heaven Locking Formation.
Only to see that the Earth Elemental Dharma King was sitting in the centre of the formation, his neck, arms, feet, waist and stomach were all wrapped in a dragon-shaped chain, so if it was an ordinary Saint, I’m afraid that he wouldn’t even be able to move a bit.
However, the Earth Elemental Dharma King was quite powerful, and within his body, a powerful holy qi surged out, causing the entire Zi Jun Hall to become a white misty haze.
Vaguely, one could see that twelve humanoid silhouettes stood in the white mist of holy qi, standing in the twelve directions of the Earth Elemental Dharma King.
Much like the twelve guardian gods.
“Worthy of being at the level of a Dharma King, even though he has been trapped, he is still able to manifest twelve Sacred Qi detachments.”Zhang Ruochen secretly said.
The twelve humanoid silhouettes, even though they were only detachments condensed from Sacred Qi and Sacred Dao rules, were still incomparably powerful, far surpassing ordinary Middle Realm Saints, making Zhang Ruochen feel quite tricky.
Of course, all of this was not difficult for him yet.
As long as he was able to kill the Earth Elemental Dharma King, the twelve Sacred Qi Bilocations would naturally disappear with him.
Zhang Ruochen carefully controlled the killing aura on his body, his body was like a taut battle bow as he used Spatial Shift and disappeared.
“Swish!”
In the next instant, Zhang Ruochen broke into into the Nine Dragons Heaven Locking Formation and appeared above the head of the Earth Elemental Dharma King with a downward stroke of his finger, striking a spatial rift.
The five senses of the Earth Elemental Dharma King were quite sharp, and just as Zhang Ruochen moved out of the spatial diversion, in an instant, he opened his eyes and shot out ten thousand lights.
“Clatter.”
The Earth Elemental Dharma King tugged on the nine dragon-shaped chains and shifted out horizontally to the right, trying to avoid the spatial rift that chopped down.
The Earth Elemental Dharma King’s nerve reaction speed was extremely astonishing, and it was impossible for cultivators whose cultivation level was lower than his to sneak up on him. Even though, Zhang Ruochen had launched his attack from an extremely close position, he still managed to avoid the vitals.
“Pfft.”
The spatial rift chopped down from the Earth Elemental Dharma King’s left arm, severing an arm and a dragon-shaped chain.
Although it chopped off an arm, it failed to seriously injure the Earth Elemental Dharma King.
With the cultivation of the Earth Elemental Dharma King, even if he only had one arm left, he would still be able to kill Zhang Ruochen with a snap of his fingers.
Of course, Zhang Ruochen had come prepared and naturally had a follow-up move.
When one strike failed to kill the Earth Elemental Dharma King, he immediately struck a second strike.
His five fingers flexed slightly and grabbed forward, tearing open five spatial cracks in a row, striking the Earth Elemental Dharma King at the same time.
With normal martial arts and holy weapon attacks, the Earth Origin Dharma King was completely able to block them.
However, such a tactic as a spatial rift could not be hard received, and even he could only dodge it.
Earlier, the spatial rift had chopped off one of the dragon-shaped chains on the Earth Elemental Dharma King’s body, and now, there were still eight more, and the space in which the Earth Elemental Dharma King was able to dodge was extremely narrow.
“Pfft.”
The Earth Origin Dharma King avoided three spatial cracks in a row, but in the end, there were still two spatial cracks that chopped into his body.
One of them, chopped at his waist, tearing off a large chunk of flesh and blood, almost being cut off at the waist. Some of the organs were also swallowed by the spatial cracks.
The second spatial rift, chopped off the right arm of the Earth Elemental Dharma King, and at the same time, chopped off another dragon shaped chain.
At this moment, the Earth Elemental Dharma King was quite miserable, both of his arms had been lost, much like a human stick hanging there, and a large amount of holy blood gushed out from his body, staining the ground red.
Who could imagine that a high and mighty Dharma King was actually injured so miserably.
Seeing that he hadn’t killed the Earth Elemental Dharma King, Zhang Ruochen wanted to strike a third blow.
The third strike was not as coherent as the previous two strikes, which allowed the Earth Origin Dharma King to fight for a chance to catch his breath and roared, “Junior, are you looking for death?”
The Earth Origin Dharma King fiercely stomped his foot on the ground, and with a rumbling sound, the entire Zi Jun Hall shook violently.
Zhang Ruochen only felt as if a 10,000 feet high wave of water was surging towards him, and was about to use Spatial Shift to dodge, but he was a step too late, and his chest flew backwards as if he had suffered the impact of an iron mountain.
“Boom!”
Zhang Ruochen impacted on top of the wall of the Zijun Hall, and formation inscriptions emerged, forming a rebounding force that shook him and sent him flying towards the Nine Dragon Heaven Locking Formation again.
“Die for me.”
The Earth Elemental Dharma King looked at Zhang Ruochen, who was flying towards him, and let out a harsh roar from his mouth, spitting out sound waves that condensed into the form of a thousand armies. Those soldiers, dressed in iron armour and armed with battle swords, rushed towards Zhang Ruochen.
The sound wave spat out by a Dharma King was simply not something Zhang Ruochen could resist.
Seeing that Zhang Ruochen was about to collide with the army congealed from the sound waves, in the next moment, his figure, surprisingly, disappeared, using Spatial Shift to cross to the outside of the Zijun Hall and escaped.
“Wow!”
Zhang Ruochen’s mouth was spitting out blood, his injuries were extremely serious, in the place of another Lower Realm Saint, he would have already died.
Suddenly, twelve Saint Qi detachments rushed out from the Zijun Hall, wanting to surround and kill Zhang Ruochen.
Obviously, the Earth Elemental Dharma King had guessed his identity and didn’t want to let him go.
“Next, over to you!”
Without any hesitation, Zhang Ruochen took out the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram and slammed his palm forwards, opening a spatial door.
“Wow…”
A black ghostly qi surged out from inside the door of space, and then, rushed towards the Zijun Hall.
As the ghost qi rushed past, the twelve holy qi detachments instantly collapsed and turned into strands of holy qi.
The ghost qi rushed into into the Zijun Hall and transformed into a slender phantom, decisively striking out at the Earth Elemental Dharma King.
“Rumble.”
A great battle erupted in the Zijun Hall.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the defence formations in the Zi Jun Hall were quite powerful, I’m afraid that it would have already been torn apart.
“Even if the Earthly Yuan Dharma King has crossed over into the Heavenly Realm just like the Sea Underworld Dharma King, however, after all, he has already lost both of his arms and is imprisoned by the dragon-shaped chains, so there is no way that he can be a match for the Blood Moon Ghost King, and he should be killed very quickly.”Zhang Ruochen secretly said.
The so-called “Heavenly Realm” was, in fact, also a realm of Saints.
Saints, in total, were divided into eight realms: the Lower Realm Saints, the Middle Realm Saints, the Upper Realm Saints, the Xuan Huang Realm, the Earth-Thorough Realm, the Tong Tian Realm, the True Realm, and the Supreme Realm.
The first three realms of a Saint, the Lower Realm, Middle Realm, and Upper Realm, were all basic realms, and were realms that the vast majority of Saints were able to reach through their efforts.
The next three realms, the Xuan Huang Realm, the Thorough Earth Realm, and the Heavenly Realm, echoed the four realms of Heaven, Earth, Xuan Huang, and the Yellow Realm in the early stages of martial arts, and only by realising the connection between the two could they break through and thus return to the true nature.
As for the last two realms, the True Realm and the Supreme Realm, very few saints were able to reach them, with the former being called “True Saints” and the latter “Supreme Saints”.
True Saints and Supreme Saints, like Saint Kings, were characters that travelled between heaven and earth, and were invisible to the gods and dragons, and even Saints would find it difficult to meet them.
Saints who crossed over into the Heavenly Realm were already quite terrifying existences, blowing out a breath, they were also able to heavily injure Saints of the Lower Realm.
Zhang Ruochen was able to survive just now, apart from his strong physical body, there was really some luck involved.
“Not good, the power of the Nine Dragon Heaven Locking Formation, it’s weakening, someone is shutting down the formation.”
After his spiritual power became saintly, how sensitive Zhang Ruochen’s perception was, naturally, he noticed the changes in the Nine Dragons Heaven Locking Formation.
“What kind of person?”
Zhang Ruochen rushed into a formation tower next to the Zijun Hall, only to see that a black-clothed cultivator with a golden stern mask on his face had already shut down the Nine Dragon Heaven Locking Formation.
“Rumble.”
The Zijun Hall split into pieces and collapsed.
A burning, blazing sun flew up from inside the ruins and shot straight up high into the sky, fleeing towards the heavens.
In the Blood God Sect’s territory, a round of blazing sun hung in the sky, causing the night to turn into day.
In fact, it wasn’t really a blazing sun, but rather, it was half of the body of the Earth Elemental Dharma King.
The body of the Earth Elemental Dharma King below his chest was completely shattered, and even if there was still a small half of his body left, it was all tattered and torn, as if it would disintegrate at any moment.
“Where to escape?”
The Blood Moon Ghost King wore a long snow-white coat, with green silk like a waterfall and cold eyes like electricity, transforming into a blood-red moon and chasing after the blazing sun in front of him.
Quite a strange sight, a day and a month were simultaneously presented in the sky and were tracking, erupting into a terrifying battle.
Zhang Ruochen was still confident in the Blood Moon Ghost King, even if it was for no other reason than the Holy Soul of the Earth Elemental Dharma King, the Blood Moon Ghost King would surely do his best to take him down.
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze, locked onto the black-clothed cultivator’s body, formed palm seals with both hands and struck out at the same time.
Since the other party had struck out to shut down the Nine Dragons Heaven Locking Formation, they were also definitely the companions of the Earth Elemental Dharma King and had to be eliminated.
From his sleeve, the black-clothed cultivator took out a foot-long emerald staff and pointed it towards Zhang Ruochen, and immediately, an ice crystal savage beast coalesced and pounced towards Zhang Ruochen.
“Surprisingly, it’s a Spiritual Power Saint.”
Zhang Ruochen could see that the black-clothed cultivator was using a profound means of spiritual power attack that was beyond the realm of ordinary spells, and was definitely a Spiritual Power Saint without a doubt.
No wonder Zhang Ruochen hadn’t realised that he was hiding in the dark earlier, so it turned out that his spiritual power was not below Zhang Ruochen’s.
Of course, this person’s spiritual power wasn’t too strong, it shouldn’t have reached the fifty-first rank yet, it was only slightly more powerful than Zhang Ruochen.
“Boom.”
Zhang Ruochen shattered the Ice Crystal Savage Beast, took out the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, and charged forwards with great strides.
“Timeless Successor, Zhang Ruochen.”
Earlier, the black-clothed cultivator had seen Zhang Ruochen use the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram to conjure up a Ghost King, and thus, recognised him.
The black-clothed cultivator turned around and fled, rushing towards the top of the formation tower.
“Since you recognise me, where else do you want to escape to?”
Zhang Ruochen swung his sword and a thick sword qi surged out, snapping the thirteen-storey high bronze formation tower in two and collapsing it with a loud bang.
The black-clothed cultivator jumped out of one of the formation tower’s window openings and crashed down into the ten-thousand-foot abyss, and without crashing to the ground, he harnessed his spiritual energy and condensed a holy cloud, flying rapidly into the distance.
Zhang Ruochen had suffered extremely serious injuries, and only just after taking a step forward, his internal organs were incomparably painful, as if some of his organs had been torn apart.
“Definitely can’t let him escape.”
Zhang Ruochen also used his spiritual power, and an earth-shattering thunder rang out from within his body as his body transformed into a bolt of lightning and chased forward, erupting with a speed that was surprisingly a little faster than the black-clothed cultivator.
