The King of Sacred Corpses underneath the Heavenly Fate Corpse Emperor turned his body and took huge steps, running rapidly and rushing towards the darkness.
On the ground, a large pit with footprints over ten metres long was left behind…?
On the other end, the Spirit King Saint Ancestor transformed into a cloudy wind and flew back into the coffin. The coffin was a Ten Thousand Lines Sacred Artifact, emitting black light as it flew off the ground, catching up with the pace of the Sacred Corpse King.
“It’s not that easy to leave.”
Zhang Ruochen stood inside the Red Sun Sacred Phase, controlling the power of the blood-red giant, and with a loud boom, he smashed the thousand-metre-high rocky mountain with a palm strike.
Afterwards, taking a fierce step forward, Zhang Ruochen and the blood-red giant passed through a piece of shattered rock and hurriedly chased after it, striking another attack that hit that black coffin.
“Boom.”
The coffin, which was already broken and tattered by Ling Fei Yu, how could it withstand the force, and it actually crumbled apart, turning into a piece of holy weapon debris.
The Spirit King Sacred Ancestor let out a miserable scream, the skin on the surface of his body bursting, with a dense cloud of blood mist escaping.
The Heaven’s Destiny Corpse Emperor glanced behind him and saw that the Spirit King Sacred Ancestor had been intercepted by Zhang Ruochen and Ling Feiyu.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen and Ling Fei Yu were both at their peak moments, literally killing gods and Buddhas when they encountered them, who would dare to go and fight them?
He did not return to rescue them and continued to control the King of Sacred Corpses, breaking the layers of formations in this part of the city domain and retreating and fleeing outwards.
“Jian Jiu.”
Ling Fei Yu stood in mid-air a hundred feet above the ground and raised his holy sword above his head, tens of thousands of inscriptions surfaced on the body of the sword, and with that, this piece of heaven and earth coalesced with countless sword qi.
The stones, rubble, leaves, and flower petals on the ground were all emitting sword intent as if they had been transformed into swords.
Even strands of heaven and earth aura had condensed into sword qi.
The Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword also trembled, breaking free from Zhang Ruochen’s fingers and flying out, circling around Ling Fei Yu.
“The legendary Sword Nine …… What a terrifying sword intent, in the entire First Central Empire, are there five figures who can cultivate the Dao of the Sword to such a degree?”
The Sword Nine, represented not strength, but attainment above the Dao of the Sword.
Characters who were able to cultivate the Sword Nine to great perfection were all not wizards of the Sword Dao that could withstand the heavens and the earth, enough to stand at the peak of the Sword Dao of an era.
For Sword Emperor Xue Hongduan to be able to cultivate into Sword Ten, it could be said that it was already a miracle and a legend, and it would be very difficult for tens of thousands of years for such a demon to emerge.
Zhang Ruochen released his spiritual power and probed that the sword qi and sword shadows in this piece of heaven and earth, all added up, were actually more than a million.
“Little girl, old me will fight you!”
Even a thousand year old monster like the Spirit King Saint Ancestor’s face turned incomparably pale in the face of Jian Jiu, and he directly burned the holy blood in his body and used the Tongshen Law.
“Hell Ghost King Claw.”
As the Saint Art was cast out, behind the Spirit King Saint Ancestor, a skeleton form Ghost King’s shadow emerged, striking a white bone hand claw out.
At the same time, the Saint Sword in Ling Fei Yu’s hand was swung downwards.
The two Saint King level forces collided violently, and with a rumbling sound, one could only see that the white bone claw mark was torn apart by the sword energy, and the huge Ghost King silhouette was also struck and collapsed.
Immediately after that, a mournful scream pierced through the night sky.
The Spirit King Saint Ancestor’s holy body shattered into dozens of pieces, and a large amount of holy blood flew out from the shattered corpse, which contained a terrifying amount of heat, and landed on the ground, emitting a giggling sound, melting the soil and rocks into a sheet of crimson magma.
Only when the dust cleared a bit did Zhang Ruochen see that on the ground, a tens of feet wide sword path actually appeared, like a canyon that went straight into the depths of the earth, dividing this urban area into two halves, reaching a length of over three hundred miles.
The formation inscriptions that were placed underneath the ground of the Seventh City Region surprisingly did not block this sword either, and all of them were torn apart.
In the middle of the sword path, there was a sword aura flowing that did not dissipate for a long time.
The saints of the Central Imperial City were all startled.
A holy shadow flew up off the ground as if it were a star, emanating holy light as it stood in midair, looking out in the direction of the Seventh City Region.
“It’s a Saint King fighting.”
“The Empress has enacted the Holy Decree, which explicitly states that Saint level figures are not allowed to fight privately in the city, and those who disobey the order will be beheaded. The restrictions on Saint Kings are even greater. Which Saint King is it that dares to disregard the Holy Decree?”
“Quickly look, a green coloured battle cloud is rising from the Battle Heavenly King’s mansion, heading straight towards the seventh city region, it must be the Battle Heavenly King striking.”
“The King of Slaying the End and Lord Taizai, they are also personally rushing to the Seventh City Region.”
In a blink of an eye, the entire Central Imperial City was in a state of turmoil, with many great figures of great prestige appearing at the same time. Those other Saints, too, cast out their body techniques and flew towards the Seventh City Region, wanting to know, what exactly had happened?
……
Zhang Ruochen glanced in the direction where the Heaven’s Destiny Corpse Emperor had vanished and sighed, “Although I killed the Spirit King Saint Ancestor, however, I let the Heaven’s Destiny Corpse Emperor escape, and in the future, he’s bound to be a great enemy of mine.”
After executing the Nine of Swords, the Saint Qi in Ling Fei Yu’s body was quite consumed, and he flew down from mid-air, using his sword to support his body, and said to Zhang Ruochen, “The strike just now must have already alarmed all the Saint Elders in the Central Imperial City, hurry up and escape from this place.”
Zhang Ruochen also knew that he must have been exposed, and without further thought, he reached out a hand, grabbed Ling Fei Yu’s wrist, and pulled her violently towards his side.
At the same time, the World Gate of the Qiankun Realm opened.
“What are you doing?”
Ling Fei Yu was precisely a bit surprised, her apricot eyes glaring round, not knowing what Zhang Ruochen intended to do, when she suddenly realised that Zhang Ruochen’s arm had disappeared, and after a moment of heavenly rotation, when she opened her eyes once again, she had actually entered another spatial world.
Zhang Ruochen knew about the existence of the “Heaven and Earth Chess Stage”, and was worried that the court would find Ling Fei Yu and use it against her, which was why he had temporarily plugged her into the Qiankun Realm.
Afterwards, Zhang Ruochen took the corpse of the Spirit King Saint Ancestor and the Saint Source into his spatial ring.
The corpse of a Saint King was an incomparably large amount of energy. Treating it as nutrients and giving it to the Saint Eater Flower for absorption was enough to make the Saint Eater Flower’s cultivation breakthrough again.
Zhang Ruochen rushed to the abandoned compound where the Spatial Maze was located, and accessed Huang Yichen, Princess Baili, and the others, all into the Qiankun Realm.
“It came so fast.”
Zhang Ruochen raised his head and looked at the dark night sky, only to see, a white light, as if it was a meteor shower, flying in this direction.
Each white light was a Saint.
On top of that, a green-coloured battle cloud was about to fly above Zhang Ruochen’s head. The power jinq that escaped from the war cloud caused the air to become somewhat frozen, making Zhang Ruochen feel unable to breathe.
“Spatial Grand Shift.”
Zhang Ruochen executed the Spatial Grand Shift and left this part of the city, arriving more than two hundred miles away and appearing on a street with heavy traffic.
In a split second, the Saint Qi on his body was converged to the extreme, and his face and figure changed drastically, as if he had turned into an ordinary cultivator and blended into the crowd.
Zhang Ruochen did not rush to leave and stayed to watch.
The surrounding cultivators, all of them were talking, “What a terrifying battle, an urban area has been reduced to rubble, dozens of defensive formations have all been torn to shreds, and the centre of the area has completely sunk into the ground.”
“It must be two behemoth-like forces in a firefight, and it’s said that even Saint King level figures have stepped in.”
……
A few moments later, a large number of Saints arrived at the Seventh City Region, and more detailed news came out.
“The Fighting Heavenly King, the Slaughtering End King, and the Tai Zai, entered the war zone at the same time to investigate, and it was initially determined that the forces that were attacked were the Ghost Raising Ancient Race and the Corpse Catching Ancient Race. The forces of the two ancient clans in the Central Imperial City have been almost completely wiped out.”
“In the battlefield, fragments of the Spirit King Ancestral Coffin were found, as well as a large amount of Saint King’s blood, and Lord Taizai surmised that the Spirit King Saint Ancestor of the Ghost Raising Ancient Race had already fallen.”
These two pieces of news were just too explosive, enough to shock the world, and soon spread throughout the Central Imperial City.
Each of the ancient clans was a great power at the peak of the Human Race, with a rather deep heritage.
Who would dare to lay such a vicious hand on them?
A Saint King had been subdued and failed to escape, how powerful were the men who had besieged the Ghost Raising Ancient Race and the Corpse Catching Ancient Race?
“The heir of an ancient clan and a Saint King were both exterminated, which great power have the Corpse Catching Ancient Clan and the Ghost Raising Ancient Clan angered?”
“These two clans often robbed other people’s ancestral tombs and did a lot of unspeakable things, so I guess they messed with a character they shouldn’t have messed with. There are only a handful of such characters, so I guess there will be results soon.”
Not long after, an even more explosive piece of news came out, “The people who struck out are most likely the Demon Sect’s Holy Maiden Head Dignitary Ling Fei Yu and Time and Space Transmitter Zhang Ruochen.”
“A sword qi that cut through three hundred miles of urban areas. In the sword path, the residual sword intent reaches the level of Sword Nine. Nowadays, amongst the Central Imperial City, only Ling Feiyu’s sword path attainment enters this level.”
“In the middle of the battlefield, a spatial maze was found, it must have been left behind by Time and Space Transmitter Zhang Ruochen.”
The cultivators in the Central Imperial City became even more fervent.
“Zhang Ruochen actually came to Central Imperial City? Gosh, he’s my male god, are you guys sure he’s really here?”
The heavenly daughters of some worldly families and sects were all quite excited, as if they were committing nymphomania, and rushed towards the seventh city area.
There was a layer of mystery surrounding the Space-Time Transmitter Zhang Ruochen, not only was he the youngest Saint of the Human Race, but his high natural talent was so high that he was able to surpass the Nine Realm Sons, and he was the best in the world. On top of that, he had also done many great things that shocked the world, causing the savage beast clans and the living beings of the Immortal Blood Clan to all be terrified.
Zhang Ruochen’s name could be considered a household name, but those who had seen his true form were few and far between.
Such a mesmerising man was naturally a fatal attraction to young women. When they heard that Zhang Ruochen had come to the Central Imperial City, not only did those heavenly daughters not treat him as a felon of the court, they were instead very excited.
“Worthy of being my family’s male god, he simply couldn’t be more majestic, he should teach the Ghost Raising Ancient Clan and the Corpse Catching Ancient Clan a hard lesson.”
“Even the Dragon Clan and the Immortal Blood Clan have been beaten to death, to my male god, the mere Ghost Raising Ancient Clan and Corpse Catching Ancient Clan would naturally be annihilated with the snap of a finger.”
“I had long guessed that the male god would definitely not be afraid of the imperial court and would definitely come to the Central Imperial City, and he really didn’t let me down. How good would it be if I could be given a chance to meet him by chance?”
“The Sacred Maiden Head Honoured Lord is actually joining forces with Zhang Ruochen, they won’t be together, right? Oooh, so sad, one is my idol and the other is my male god, how can it be like this?”
……
Zhang Ruochen stood in the crowd and felt sweaty when he heard the words of those young girls, he didn’t expect it to be painted in such a way. It turned out that his popularity amongst the human cultivators had reached such a high level, no wonder his Eldest Senior Brother had told him to keep a low profile.
