“Zhang Ruochen, just by virtue of you being a Lower Realm Saint, to think that you can intimidate a Xuan Huang Realm Saint is really laughable.”
The Snow Chaste Demoness wasn’t arrogant, but simply didn’t believe that a Lower Realm Saint would be able to compete with her.
In the Saint realm, Saint Masters who were able to fight across one realm were phoenix-like existences.
Saints who were able to fight across two realms must be heaven-defying beings, such as the Sacred Flower Eater and the Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon, as well as a very small number of ancient relic species that had that kind of strength.
A Saint who fought across three realms was almost unheard of and unseen.
Zhang Ruochen did not talk nonsense with her and lightly chanted, “Sinking Abyss.”
Woosh.
The Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword flew out and hovered above Zhang Ruochen’s head.
The Saint Qi within Zhang Ruochen’s body surged out from inside the one hundred and forty-four pores, transforming into one hundred and forty-four streams that rushed into the sword body.
On the surface of the huge black sword, densely-packed inscriptions emerged, one thousand, two thousand, three thousand ……
The Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword had more than six thousand inscriptions on it, which was already considered to be at the top level among the Thousand Stripes Saint Weapons.
Of course, with Zhang Ruochen’s current cultivation, even if he went all out to activate it, he could only inspire four thousand inscription lines, unable to utilise the full power of the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword.
“Rumble.”
The Thousand Stripes Destruction Power was released from the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, and in an instant, between the heavens and earth, tens of thousands of sword-shaped sword qi appeared.
“Four thousand inscription lines …… No wonder you dare to call out to this Saint, so it turns out that you are in possession of such a powerful Saint Weapon.”
The Snow Chaste Demoness’s pretty face became stiff and was no longer as optimistic as it was a moment ago.
Even for an upper realm Saint, wanting to inspire four thousand inscriptions at the same time was not an easy task. Being a Lower Realm Saint, Zhang Ruochen was yet able to do it.
From this, it could be seen that this son was truly something extraordinary.
The Snow Chaste Demoness put away her contempt, her eyes staring intently at Zhang Ruochen, her hands lifted upwards, and the Jade Eyes Sacred Mirror flew up from her palms, becoming more and more gigantic, very much like a round of bright moon hanging above the heads of the crowd.
“Zhang Ruochen, it should be quite a stretch for you to be able to inspire four thousand inscriptions, right? Do you know why?”
The Snow Chaste Demoness held the Jade Eyes Sacred Mirror with ease, but the Savage Ancient Strength that gushed out from above the mirror was a few points stronger than the Thousand Stripes Destruction Strength that gushed out from above the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword.
With Zhang Ruochen’s current cultivation level, to be able to activate the four thousand inscriptions in the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, he had indeed gone all out.
Zhang Ruochen smiled faintly, “You didn’t just cultivate the Xuan Huang Qi, what is there to be proud of?”
“It seems like you haven’t fought against a Xuan Huang Realm being and simply don’t understand how strong the Xuan Huang Qi is.”The Snow Chaste Demoness snorted lightly.
Saints, when they reached the Xuan Huang Realm, they had to transform the holy qi in their bodies, into Xuan Huang Qi.
Xuan was heaven, and yellow was earth.
The so-called Xuan Huang Qi was actually the Qi of Heaven and Earth, which was essentially Saint Qi as well, only it was more pure and of a higher quality.
Even if it was just a single Xuan Huang Qi, the energy it contained was comparable to the total amount of holy qi in the body of a lower realm Saint.
Not only that, the power that erupted from using Xuan Huang Qi to harness a Thousand Lines Sacred Weapon was also much more powerful.
Therefore, there was a huge gap between Upper Realm Saints and Xuan Huang Realm Saints, and it was difficult to fight across realms. It was because of this reason that the Snow Chaste Demoness did not place Zhang Ruochen in her eyes.
However, she did not know that Zhang Ruochen not only grasped the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, but also possessed a Ten Saints Blood Armour, which could borrow the power of the Ten Saints, and was enough to fight with a Xuan Huang Realm Saint.
The Snow Chaste Demoness’s finger pointed, and a Xuan Huang Qi flew out from her fingertip, rushing into the Jade Eyes Sacred Mirror.
The savage ancient strength that erupted from the Jade Eye Sacred Mirror became even more powerful as it suppressed Zhang Ruochen, shattering all the sword qi that flew between heaven and earth.
Zhang Ruochen was so bold that he didn’t use Spatial Shift to retreat, wanting to take this strike from the Snow Chaste Demoness and try out the power of the Xuan Huang Realm Sacred Beast, just how strong was it?
“Wow…”
The Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword flew out and collided with the Jade Eyes Sacred Mirror with a deafening sound of gold and stone.
The Jade Eyes Sacred Mirror dispersed the Thousand Lines of Destructive Power above the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, crushing the body of the sword and dropping it straight downwards.
The Savage Ancient Strength that surged out from the mirror condensed into an illusory Savage World, with dozens of ancient mountains and the shadows of thousands of savage beasts, descending from the sky, wanting to crush Zhang Ruochen into pieces.
This power was no longer something Zhang Ruochen could resist.
Zhang Ruochen could only activate the Ten Saint Blood Armour, wrapping it around his entire body as he lightly shouted, “Ten Saint Power, Immovable King.”
Ten Saint Shadows rushed out from inside the armour and stood in ten directions of Zhang Ruochen.
At the centre of the ten holy shadows, a mountain-sized silhouette stood up from the ground as if it was a deity that stood on top of the sky.
The Immovable King of Brightness Saint Phase combined with the power of the ten saints and struck out a palm imprint that collided with the Jade Eyes Saint Mirror that pressed down from above.
“Boom.”
The Immovable King of Brightness Saint Phase and the Ten Saints’ Shadow, all of them shattered and turned into eleven clouds of Saint Qi.
Zhang Ruochen also slid backwards tens of feet away, retreating all the way to Ao Xinyan’s side before he was able to stabilise his footsteps without crashing into the top of the stone wall.
“The power of a Xuan Huang Realm Saint is surprisingly so terrifying, I’ve already used my full power, but I still can’t resist it.”
Zhang Ruochen had a true perception of the power of a Xuan Huang Realm Saint.
“To actually catch the first attack of the Jade Eyes Sacred Mirror, this son is strong enough to compete with some weaker Xuan Huang Realm beings.”
Although the Snow Chaste Demoness was surprised, she was still completely sure of herself as she said, “Just now, it was only the first power of the Jade Eyes Sacred Mirror, and you already couldn’t block it. The second power struck by the Jade Eyes Sacred Mirror will cause you to despair.”
The Jade Eyes Sacred Mirror flew up once again, resembling a radiant jade disc that covered half of the sky.
Below the jade disc, an even more magnificent savage world was presented, not only were there majestic mountains and hideous savage beasts, but there were also rivers, clouds, and ancient trees …… emanating a savage ancient energy that became even more powerful.
The Xuan Hedgehog Sacred Beast looked towards the Barbarian World suspended in the sky, revealing a grim smile, “The Snow Chaste Demoness has actually inspired the deepest level of power of the Jade Eyes Sacred Mirror, even an ordinary Xuan Huang Realm Saint would be turned into flying dust, Zhang Ruochen definitely won’t be able to block it.”
Zhang Ruochen stood at the bottom of the Savage World, so small that he was like an upright ant.
“So what if the realm is profound? So what if it’s powerful? It doesn’t represent the full strength of a cultivator.”
Zhang Ruochen appeared calm as he stretched out a finger and pointed it towards the void, reciting a single word out of his mouth, “Break.”
“Rumble.”
In the sky, at the centre of that Barbarian World’s silhouette, space collapsed and seven tens of miles long cracks appeared, tearing everything into pieces.
At the same time, Zhang Ruochen disappeared from his original position, travelling across space and appearing behind the Snow Chaste Demoness, waving his sword in a chop.
The Snow Chaste Demoness sensed the harsh sword aura coming from behind her and immediately turned around, mobilising the Xuan Huang Qi within her body, gathering it into her fingertips and pointing out with a single finger.
“Morning Sword.”
Zhang Ruochen executed a move from the Twelve Hours Sword Technique.
On the blade of the sword, the sword light emanated out as if it was the rising sun in the early morning, creating a forceful and powerful momentum.
Once the Morning Sword was released, the flow of time in the surroundings became incomparably slow.
The Snow Chaste Demoness had only just pointed her finger out when the tip of the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword had already collided with her finger.
“Pfft.”
The next Snow Chaste Demoness’s finger, palm, and arm, turned into a cloud of blood mist.
The entire right hand, disappeared.
A beautiful face of the Snow Chaste Demoness, twisted in pain, grew her mouth, hissed, and spat out a bright red snake letter from her mouth.
A moment later, the beautiful and touching human body disappeared, and in its place was indeed a five hundred foot python, coiled on top of a mountain peak.
The Jade Eyes Sacred Mirror, suspended above its head, emitted a dazzling light.
Zhang Ruochen carried his hands behind his back, his feet stepping on the purple-brown soil as he strided forward, saying, ”Now, do you think I’m worthy of being your opponent? Am I still ridiculous as an opponent?”
The giant python grew its mouth and spat out human words, “It was only by using the power of space and time that you injured this Saint, it wasn’t true skill. In terms of strength, you are still far from this Saint.”
Zhang Ruochen laughed, “I can control time and space, isn’t that not true strength? Isn’t it part of one’s strength?”
Zhang Ruochen stopped talking to the Snow Chaste Demoness and took a step forward, crossing the void and landing directly on top of the giant python’s head, striking down with a palm.
“Splat.”
The giant python’s head cracked open with a blood-red vein, and a wailing sound came out of its mouth.
The giant python’s huge body rushed out, crashing through a mountain peak.
At the same time, it also controlled the Jade Eyes Sacred Mirror and struck out the Savage Ancient Energy, wanting to blast Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen did not clash with the Jade Eyes Sacred Mirror, using Spatial Shift to avoid it every time, followed by striking the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword or using Spatial Rift.
“Rumble.”
After fighting for half an hour in a row, the giant python’s body was bruised and bloodied, and even its tail was chopped off.
The giant python reappeared as a human figure, taking on the appearance of the Snow Chaste Demoness, not fighting with Zhang Ruochen, and fled towards the volcano at the centre of the island.
Zhang Ruochen stood at the top of a mountain peak, looking out at the direction where the Snow Chaste Demoness had fled, and said, ”It’s too late to try to escape when you’ve already suffered such heavy injuries, isn’t it? Sacred Flower Eater, why don’t you make your move?”
On the ground, a vine as thick as a bucket rose up into the sky like a green coloured dragon, wrapping itself around the Snow Chaste Demoness who wanted to escape and dragging her to the ground.
The Snow Chaste Demoness roared as she struggled.
She sometimes turned into a human body, sometimes into a giant python, wanting to escape, not wanting to become the sustenance of the Sacred Eating Flower.
Gradually, that piece of earth became calm, only to see that a vine was rooted on a giant python’s body, sucking the blood qi and holy qi from the python’s body in a steady stream.
The giant python, became moribund, only occasionally struggling.
The Snow Chaste Demoness was originally a king in the Barbarian Mysterious Realm, ruling over millions of savage beasts, but, after all, she had fallen on the Dragon Fire Island and turned into the sustenance of the Sacred Flower Eater.
Zhang Ruochen suppressed the Jade Eyes Sacred Mirror and flew down to the ground, coming to the side of the giant python, staring at the two snake eyes as huge as water tanks without a trace of sympathy or pity.
After Zhang Ruochen dug out the dragon pearl from the python’s body, he walked over to Ao Xinyan.
