The True One Thunder and Fire Sword Technique was on the same level as the “Nine Lives, Nine Deaths, Nine Reincarnations Sword Technique” that Ling Fei Yu cultivated, and was definitely not inferior to the Heavenly Dao Sword Technique.
However, there was a huge gap between their cultivation levels.
The Nine Lives, Nine Deaths, Nine Reincarnations Sword Technique that Zhang Ruochen had executed failed to block the three swords of Heaven’s Will, and it looked like he was about to be pierced through by the sky full of sword qi.
“Space Distortion.”Zhang Ruochen shouted.
The spatial structure outside the Shrine Hall of the Emperors was quite solid, and Zhang Ruochen tried his best to make space distort just a little bit. Those sword qi flying towards him changed direction and chose around his body.
“Surprisingly, he can still use spatial power.”
Chi Dufeng’s eyes narrowed as he held his sword in one hand, and with the index and middle fingers of his other hand merged together, he made a stroke on the surface of the sword, and in an instant, he entered the realm of human-sword unity.
“Wow…”
Chi Dufeng transformed into a stream of sword qi and crashed into Zhang Ruochen.
Sword Seven!
This sword carried the power of extreme penetration, enough to cause some impact on space.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes flinched, with his current control over space, he was afraid that he would not be able to dissolve the Sword Seven that Ji Dufeng had executed. This person’s cultivation was too powerful, and he was afraid that he had already reached the True Saint realm.
Different people who entered the True Saint realm could have vastly different battle power.
For example, if Qing Xiao entered the True Saint realm, even if he was only at the early stage of True Sainthood, he would be able to fight against a group of True Saints with the strength of one person.
The five people on the Heroic Fugue, Pei Yutian, Wan Zhaoyi, Chen Wutian, and the Heart Art Buddhist Master, once they crossed over into the True Saint realm, they were going to be a step more powerful than Qing Xiao.
Chi Dufeng’s natural talent and system was slightly weaker compared to Qing Xiao, however, he was incredibly gifted in the Way of the Sword, reaching the Sword Saint realm, and his attack power was unrivalled, so his combat power was actually comparable to Qing Xiao’s.
Such a person, reaching the True Saint realm, would cause even Supreme Saints some headaches.
Just like Pei Yutian, he had only cultivated to the “half-true, half-void” realm, and was still a small step away from being a True Saint, but he was already invincible under the Supreme Saints, and could sweep away True Saints.
“Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron.”
Zhang Ruochen took out the Sacred Brightness Central Empire’s Zhen Guo Ancestral Artifact, and pressed his palm forward, striking on top of the bronze ancient cauldron, and in the sea of qi, holy qi surged out crazily.
On the ancient cauldron, a single golden ancient text emitted an eye-catching light.
“Boom.”
The Saint Sword in Chi Dufeng’s hand collided with the Bronze Ancient Cauldron, producing a resounding, loud sound.
The power of the Sword Dao that surged out from his body shook the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron and Zhang Ruochen all the way backwards, until they retreated a distance of more than ten miles.
Zhang Ruochen sensed that Chi Dufeng’s Sword Dao power was fast weakening, so he seized the moment and exploded with all his might, pressing both his palms on top of the Open Origin Deer Cauldron at the same time, stirring up a trace of Origin power.
Immediately, above the huge bronze ancient tripod, an immovable Ming Wang silhouette condensed.
That silhouette, with one palm, blasted towards Chi Dufeng.
“The timing is quite accurate.”
At this moment, Chi Dufeng was exactly when his sword momentum was weakening, so he had no choice but to mobilise his residual power and once again execute the Heavenly Elephant Three Swords, using attack as defence, and swung towards that golden palm imprint.
“Bang bang bang.”
Immovable Bright King’s handprint shattered the Heavenly Elephant Three Swords and blasted into Chi Dufeng’s chest, causing him to spit out blood, as if he were a kite with broken strings, and threw him backwards.
The power of the Divine Legacy Ancient Artifact was not something he could resist.
Zhang Ruochen took advantage of the victory and also entered the realm of Human Sword Unity, executing the Great Perfection’s Sword 7 and stabbing his sword.
Chi Dufeng clenched his teeth and forcefully twisted his body to stop his backward flight, and attacked with his sword, colliding with Zhang Ruochen in a strike.
“Rumble.”
The two quickly separated, once again pulling away by a distance of more than ten miles.
Both of them were injured, blood hanging from the corners of their mouths.
“No wonder you were able to defeat the Nine Realm Sons with the power of one man, you’ve only just entered the Thorough Earth Realm, and you’ve even managed to injure this king, even a Junior Deity may not be as powerful as you.”
Chi Dufeng wiped away the traces of blood at the corner of his mouth, his pupils emitting flames as the battle intent on his body became even more vigorous.
Zhang Ruochen did not say a single word, only mobilising the world power of the Qiankun Realm once again, only wanting to exterminate Chi Dufeng as soon as possible.
“While you have the Ancestral Weapon of Zhen Guo, this king has Emperor Ming’s Golden Step Dragon Chariot. You should know the power of the Golden Step Dragon Chariot better than anyone else, right?”
Seeing that Zhang Ruochen was about to use that mysterious power again, Chi Dufeng hurriedly retreated backwards and flew to the interior of the Golden Step Dragon Chariot, after which, the holy qi in his body surged outwards and was injected into the Dragon Chariot.
Inside the Golden Step Dragon Chariot, nine huge golden dragon shadows rushed out, neatly lined up in front, radiating eye-catching golden light. The aura that exploded from the nine dragon shadows was even more terrifying than the nine Saint level augur dragons.
This was the true form of the Golden Step Dragon Chariot!
Of course, with Chi Dufeng’s cultivation, it was not enough to support the nine dragon shadows for a long time, so he had to battle it out to suppress Zhang Ruochen in the shortest possible time.
“Rumble.”
Chi Dufeng rode the Golden Step Dragon Chariot and crazily rammed forward, collapsing a spiritual mountain, and the mud and rocks in the mountain continued to fall downwards.
Zhang Ruochen wasn’t able to mobilise the world power of the Qiankun Realm, so he grabbed the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron and ignored the depletion of his holy qi and went all out to stimulate the origin power in the Cauldron.
A several hundred feet tall Immovable Ming King’s silhouette manifested and overlapped with Zhang Ruochen’s body, after which, he charged towards the Golden Step Dragon Chariot in large strides.
Chi Dufeng stood on top of the Golden Step Dragon Chariot, and when he saw Zhang Ruochen charging over, he revealed a sardonic smile, “Seeking death.”
The Immovable King of Brightness Shadow collided with the Nine Dragons Shadow, and at the same time, Zhang Ruochen smashed the Opening Deer Cauldron out, clashing hard with the Golden Step Dragon Chariot.
An earth-shaking sound exploded out.
Zhang Ruochen’s greatest advantage was that he possessed a strong physical body and was not afraid of hard encounters.
Grasping the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron as if it was grasping a small bronze mountain, he continuously bombarded the Golden Step Dragon Chariot, having a circle of golden holy light that surged out into the distance.
“This brat, how come he is so strong, could it be that he has endless power?”
At this moment, Chi Dufeng was struggling a bit to support the Golden Step Dragon Chariot, but Zhang Ruochen was still full of energy.
The upper half of Zhang Ruochen’s robes had been shattered into flying dust, revealing a body full of aesthetically pleasing muscles, with black flying from his head, his feet stomped on the ground and jumped up, and he blasted another strike down, smashing it on the top of the Golden Step Dragon Chariot.
At the same time, the Sacred Eating Flower rushed out from Zhang Ruochen’s back, transforming into a vine that wrapped around the four wheels of the Golden Step Dragon Chariot.
“Rumble.”
Suffering from both up and down attacks, instantly, the Golden Step Dragon Chariot’s centre of gravity was unstable and flipped out.
Chi Dufeng fell out of the Dragon Carriage and landed on the ground, looking a bit lousy and no longer as handsome and sprightly as he was earlier.
Zhang Ruochen put down the Enlightened Deer Cauldron in his hands, also having some difficulty supporting himself, panting heavily from his mouth, beads of sweat beading up all over his body, yet, still battle-hardened and full of spirit.
“It turns out that the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron is actually a Divine Remnant Ancient Artifact, everyone in the past looked away.”Chi Dufeng snorted coldly.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Are you thinking that the Golden Step Dragon Carriage is inferior to the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron, and that’s why you lost?”
“Defeat? Would this king not lose to you? Next, it will be your death.”
Chi Dufeng’s hands clasped together, and the holy qi in his body operated violently, and at the location of his chest, a green-coloured rune emerged, releasing an increasingly powerful force.
“Saint match.”Zhang Ruochen said.
“That’s right, it’s precisely the Saint’s Compatibility given to this king by the Heavenly King of the Ling Xiao, for you to force this king to use this underhanded move, even if you die here, it’s still enough to be proud of yourself.”Chi Dufeng laughed.
In the sky above Chi Dufeng’s head, a green cloud appeared, and the Saint Phase figure of the Heavenly King of Lingxiao manifested, with his head in the heavens and his feet on the ground, giving off a mountainous feeling of admiration.
Zhang Ruochen was naturally quite aware of the power of the Saintly Phase, however, he didn’t panic, instead, he rushed into the interior of the Golden Step Dragon Chariot and said in a deep voice, “Today, let this Prince show you the true power of the Golden Step Dragon Chariot.”
Just the moment Zhang Ruochen sat into the Golden Step Dragon Chariot, he felt the aura left behind by Emperor Ming. That aura was a perfect match for Zhang Ruochen’s technique, the Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Scripture, and the degree of the Holy Qi in his body was sped up by a factor of two.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen looked like he had become one with the Golden Step Dragon Carriage.
“Artifact Spirits of the Dragon Carriage, let this Prince unseal you and continue to fight for the Sacred Brightness Central Empire.”
Zhang Ruochen’s palm, pressed on top of one of the golden dragon heads on the left front of the Golden Step Dragon Chariot and struck out the Pure Destruction Divine Flame. The Divine Flame surged out and was the first to impact on top of the golden dragon head, followed by wrapping around the entire dragon carriage.
Inside the Golden Step Dragon Chariot, there were a total of nine artifact spirits, which were nine dragon souls.
The nine dragon souls only obeyed the orders of the successive Ming Emperors, therefore, the people of the Chi family were unable to harness the artefact spirits at all, and could only seal the artefact spirits. In this way, Chi Dufeng was also unable to wield the true power of the Golden Step Dragon Chariot.
“Puffing.”
The power of the divine fire burned the seal.
Immediately, in the dragon carriage, an earth-shattering dragon roar resounded as the nine dragon souls became active, releasing a shocking dragon might.
“The crown prince has returned, and is conquering for him.”
“Eight hundred years, after being sealed for eight hundred years, today I finally break free.”
“Battle, conquer the world with the Crown Prince, and create the glory of Saint Ming again. I will travel nine million miles a day, and wherever I pass, all beings will kneel under the frame.”
……
The nine dragon souls roared, a roar that shook the nine heavens.
“This time, it must succeed.”
Zhang Ruochen mobilised the world power of the Qiankun Realm once again, seventeen times in a row, and suddenly, vast and boundless power surged out from the Qiankun Realm, rushing through Zhang Ruochen’s hands and into the Golden Step Dragon Chariot.
“Roar!”
Nine dragon souls manifested and appeared in front of the Golden Step Dragon Chariot. The body of each dragon soul was very solid, no different from a real golden dragon.
“Rumble.”
Under the pull of the nine dragon souls, the Golden Step Dragon Chariot rushed out, like an invincible chariot.
Chi Dufeng was incomparably astonished, not expecting that the Golden Step Dragon Chariot would be able to burst out with such a powerful aura of power, as if it was nine divine dragons and a divine chariot charging towards him.
Chi Dufeng mobilised the power of the Saint’s Match, waved his Saint Sword, and attacked.
The Golden Step Dragon Chariot crushed over, crushing the Saint Phase of the Heavenly King of Ling Xiao, and also crushed Chi Dufeng’s Saint Body into a bloody mist, with all his bones reduced to pieces. A Sword Saint with supreme talent died on the spot, with no bones left.
All that was left was a bloody holy sword, stuck upside down next to the Golden Step Dragon Chariot.
Another legend was ended by Zhang Ruochen.
