A Saint King level dragon pearl was absolutely priceless and rare in the world.
In order to save Zhang Ruochen, Ao Xin Yan however did not hesitate to spit out the Dragon Pearl to attack over and slow down the Snow Chaste Demoness.
This was a favour that Zhang Ruochen was considered to owe.
Re-swallowing the Dragon Pearl, a rosy glow appeared on Ao Xin Yan’s face, and crystalline points of light overflowed from her skin.
She revolved her gong method, and with that, a dragon qi, travelled through her meridians, healing the injuries in her body.
Zhang Ruochen, on the other hand, transformed into a residual shadow and came to the outer rules of the Heavenly Dipper Fire God Formation, one hand behind his back and the other carrying the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword.
In the formation, the Xuan Hedgehog Sacred Beast was terrified when it saw the Snow Chaste Demoness die in battle, and had long wanted to retreat.
However, thirty-six flame chains coalesced out of the formation, locking down the earth in a three hundred foot radius, not giving it a chance to escape at all.
Little Black stood up, very dejected, and laughed: ”Wasn’t it still very wild just now, daring to call the shots with this Emperor, why are you in a hurry to escape now? Stay and fight, this Emperor will give you a chance for a fair duel.”
Deep within the pupils of the Xuan Hedgehog Sacred Beast, a colour of joy flashed, saying, “This is what you said, a fair duel, outsiders shall not intervene in.”
“That’s natural, this Emperor speaks his mind.”Little Black said.
If, Zhang Ruochen and Little Black joined forces, the Xuan Hedgehog Sacred Beast would definitely have a death wish today, and at most, it could only explode its Sacred Heart and die with them.
However, against a fat cat, the Xuan Hedgehog Sacred Beast was still confident.
As long as it could destroy the fat cat first, next, it would be able to deal with Zhang Ruochen more easily.
“Ow!”
The Xuan Hedgehog Sacred Beast let out a long whine, and immediately after, its humanoid body exploded, transforming into a twelve zhang tall, thirty-four zhang long black hedgehog, covered in spikes.
Those spikes were much like a sharp spear.
“Divine Hedgehog Spikes.”?The spiritual energy within the Xuan Hedgehog Sacred Beast’s body was all released and condensed on top of the eighteen thousand spikes all over its body.
In the next moment, three thousand spikes flew out of its body, turning into a black cloud, all of which flew towards Little Black.
Just as the Xuan Hedgehog Sacred Beast unleashed its means of attack, Zhang Ruochen performed a Spatial Shift and broke into the Heavenly Dueling Fire God Formation, appearing above the Xuan Hedgehog Sacred Beast.
“Noon Sword.”?Zhang Ruochen’s hands were clasped in a circle, while the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword flew above his hands, emitting an eye-catching light, much like a blazing sun at noon.
“Clatter.”
On the surface of the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, a hundred-foot-long sword qi vapour emerged, resembling a giant sword in the sky, and together with the ancient sword, it plunged straight down.
“Plop.”
The hundred feet long sword qi shadow pierced through the Xuan Hedgehog Saint Beast’s body, nailing it to the ground.
In the abdomen of the Xuan Hedgehog Saint Beast, a large amount of holy blood flowed out from the wound, completely colouring the territory where the Heavenly Dipper Fire God Formation was located into blood red.
“Saying that it’s a fair …… duel …… and there’s no point in having any …… integrity……”
The Xuan Hedgehog Sacred Beast was incomparably furious, mobilising its spiritual power, wanting to control the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, pulling out its body and escaping.
Zhang Ruochen’s finger pointed, and a sword shadow condensed from sword intent flew out from the tip of his finger, piercing through the Xuan Hedgehog Sacred Beast’s Sacred Heart.
In an instant, the spiritual energy within the Xuan Hedgehog Sacred Beast’s body became incomparably chaotic, no longer able to condense power.
The victory had been decided.
Xiao Hei stopped catalysing the Heavenly Dueling Fire God Formation, took lazy steps, walked over to the Xuan Hedgehog Sacred Beast, and let out a laugh, ”This Emperor promised you a fair duel, so it is definitely a fair duel. However, Zhang Ruochen is inclined to kill you, so this Emperor can’t do anything about it.”
“Ow-”
The Xuan Hedgehog Sacred Beast roared once again, and gradually, the life force in its body drained away, turning into a dead body.
“This Emperor is smart, right? First, you paralysed it with a fair duel, causing it to not explode its own Sacred Heart and die with us. Then, you make a surprise move to kill it by surprise. Haha.”
Little Black felt quite smug, thinking that he had used his intelligence to crush his opponent.
Zhang Ruochen’s five fingers unfolded and stretched forward.
The huge sword shadow on the surface of the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword contracted back into the body of the sword, and then, flew back and landed into his hand.
Zhang Ruochen said indifferently, ”You think the Xuan Hedgehog Sacred Beast was really fooled by you? Really had no defence at all? Just now, it was only because the Time Sword Technique altered the flow of time, causing its counterattack to become incomparably slow, and it failed to resist the Ancient Sword of Sinking Abyss, and thus, it died.”
Little Black put away his smile and stared with wide eyes, saying, “You’re just jealous that this Emperor is smarter than you.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t bother to argue with it and closed his eyes, recalling the course of the battle just now, summing up the mistakes and striving not to make the same mistakes in the next battle.
Every evenly matched battle was a growing experience.
Currently, Zhang Ruochen’s most powerful move of attack was not Sword Seven, nor was it the Seven Orifices Blood Underworld Palm or the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm.
Rather, it was, the attacking means that was unleashed after the combination of Spatial Shift and Time Sword Technique.
First, he used Spatial Shift to get close to his opponent.
Then, using the Time Sword Technique, he would kill his opponent with a single sword strike.
In short, there is one word, that is – “fast”.
The only martial art in the world was fast.
Whether it was Spatial Shift or Time Sword Technique, it was all about making Zhang Ruochen’s attacks incomparably fast and, moreover, unexpected.
In the Xuan Huang Realm, there were definitely very few beings who could resist Zhang Ruochen’s move.
As for the Saint of the Earth Thoroughfare Realm, there was no need to even think about it, Zhang Ruochen would definitely not be able to battle. The cultivation gap was too great, and it was simply not a case of being fast enough to win.
“In the future, it’s better not to use out this move easily without a chance to kill with a single strike. If you use it too much, you will definitely be studied by the enemy for countermeasures. After all, none of the beings that can reach the Saint realm are not extremely intelligent.”Zhang Ruochen secretly said.
In the other direction, the Sacred Eating Flower had already sucked all the blood qi, holy qi, and holy source from the giant python’s body, and the vines had become even thicker, with the texture on top of each leaf resembling a thunderbolt.
The flower at the top of the Saint Eating Flower became as huge as a stone mill, emitting a crimson red light, and the petals were very much like they were carved out of blood crystal holy jade, which was both very beautiful, yet emitted a dangerous aura.
In the centre of the flower, there stood a beautiful figure with a head full of black hair, with black eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and a pair of pupils that exuded winking waves, which was indescribably charming.
However, it was only a shadow, not a real flesh and blood body.
After the first blossoming of the Sacred Eating Flower, the fruit that came out was its virtual body.
The fruit that came out after the second bloom of the Sacred Flower Eater was her fleshly body.
Therefore, if the Sacred Flower Eater wanted to truly condense a flesh and blood body, it had to wait until it bore its second fruit.
At its current cultivation level, even the flower had not yet fully bloomed, and there was still a very long way to go before it could bear a fruit.
Zhang Ruochen could clearly feel that after absorbing the Snow Chaste Demoness, the cultivation of the Sacred Eating Flower had, once again, increased greatly, much like it was about to break through an important barrier.
“Could it be that it is about to break through to the Upper Realm Saint realm?”Zhang Ruochen was somewhat curious.
“Puffing.”
The roots of the Sacred Eating Flower spread out and pierced into the Xuan Hedgehog Sacred Beast’s carcass, treating it as nutrients and continuing to absorb it, as if it was truly impacting the realm.
Zhang Ruochen did not stop it.
With Zhang Ruochen’s current cultivation level, even if the Sacred Flower Eater reached the Upper Realm Saint realm, he had full confidence in suppressing it.
On the contrary, when the Sacred Flower Eater reached the Upper Realm Saint realm, the battle power that erupted from it would surely be quite powerful, and it would become a huge force for Zhang Ruochen.
The Heaven Devouring Demon Dragon was surrounded by experts, and it would be difficult for Zhang Ruochen and Xiao Hei to cope with it, if, in addition, there was a Sacred Eating Flower that had broken through to the Upper Realm Saint realm, Zhang Ruochen would have a greater certainty in the ensuing duel.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen sensed something and frowned slightly.
“Wow-?”Zhang Ruochen transformed into a white light and flew to the top of a 3,000-metre-high mountain peak, looking towards the south.
Only to see that the southern sea emitted a golden light, the sky and the sea were reflected in gold.
A golden Undead Ancient Ship, travelling out from within the golden clouds, much like a five-clawed golden dragon floating on the surface of the water, was hundreds of miles long and as massive as a mountain range.
Gradually, the golden Undead Ancient Ship, stopped at the south side of Dragon Fire Island.
Twenty to thirty blood-red points of light, flew down from above the ancient ship and landed on the outskirts of Dragonfire Island. Each point of light was a humanoid creature with blood wings, emitting a thick aura of the Holy Dao.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes became grave as he muttered to himself, “How did a large number of Saint realm powerhouses from the Immortal Blood Race also come to the Yin Yang Sea?”
Those humanoid creatures with blood wings were none other than the Immortal Blood Race’s Saints.
Among them, there were also some Undying Blood Race Saints that emitted an aura that was very similar to the Death Knights. Most likely, several more Death God Knights had come to the Yin Yang Sea.
Xiao Hei and Ao Xin Yan also came to the top of the mountain peak and said, ”If the Immortal God Temple was able to project that you came to the Yin Yang Sea, it was also able to project that the Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon also came to the Yin Yang Sea. It can’t be a coincidence that the most powerful young humans and young savage beasts in the Kunlun Realm today entered the Yin Yang Sea at the same time, surely they would be suspicious?”
“In other words, the Immortal God Temple sent out a large number of Saints to enter the Yin Yang Sea, also to search for the Divine Dragon Sun Moon Chaos Pagoda?”Zhang Ruochen said.
Ao Xin Yan, who was standing by the side, was secretly shocked, finally understanding Zhang Ruochen’s purpose of entering the Yin Yang Sea, which turned out to be to search for the Divine Dragon Clan’s clan-suppressing artefact.
Divine Dragon Sun and Moon Chaos Pagoda.
A divine artefact coming out would definitely change the power pattern of the entire Kunlun Realm.
I also don’t know if the Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragons entered the Yin Yang Sea with the same purpose?
Little Black said, ”They may not know that you are looking for the Divine Dragon Sun Moon Chaos Tower. Yet, it must have known that there are extraordinary treasures in the Yin Yang Sea, or else you and the Sky-Swallowing Demon Dragon could not have risked so much to break in.”
Zhang Ruochen smiled faintly, “Every move will stir up the world. Have I even reached such heights?”
