Blocking this strike, Zhang Ruochen retreated horizontally backward by a distance of more than ten feet without being injured, and then, continued to climb upwards.
In the Holy Mist, Ling Mi’s pair of soulful eyes revealed a strange look, after which, her slender figure, hurriedly swept out, climbing upwards while, at the same time, striking out again to attack Zhang Ruochen.
Su Qingling appeared on the other side of Zhang Ruochen and let out a laugh, “For the position of Divine Envoy, I’ll be impolite!”
Su Qingling unleashed a powerful sword intent, manipulating the two holy swords and attacking Zhang Ruochen and Ling Mi at the same time, while her real body was going all out to climb upwards.
Su Qingling’s attainments above the Sword Dao were extremely high, although, what she was cultivating was not the Wordless Sword Compendium, the attack power that exploded out of her was not in the least bit weaker than that of a Sword Saint.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t dare to take Su Qingling lightly, but, he also didn’t intend to use the power of time and space, so, bursting out the sword intent of Sword 7, he executed nine sword techniques in a row.
“Swish swish.”
A series of nine silhouettes presented themselves, and the nine sword strokes were attacked almost simultaneously, finally sending Su Qingling’s holy sword flying.
Just now, Zhang Ruochen had performed the entire set of Nine Lives Sword Technique, the power of the sword technique was already great, and after combining it with the Seven Swords, it was even more subtle and infinite.
“Good marvellous sword technique, it seems that you have also reached the realm of Sword Intent into Saint, wait until after the Divine Envoy Competition, we must have a good sparring session.”
Su Qingling smiled sweetly, and from above, she blinked her eyes towards Zhang Ruochen, and that appearance looked exceptionally seductive.
At this moment, Su Qingling rushed at the forefront, having reached a height of four hundred feet, only tens of feet away from the Holy Sword.
At the top of the Broad Cold Divine Palace, the battle was fierce.
However, there was a rather bizarre scene where the Tree God’s heir, Wen Shusheng, was still standing below the Broad Cold Divine Palace.
He bowed to the Divine Palace without slowing down, appearing very respectful and gentle.
It was only after kneeling three times and bowing nine times that Wen Shusheng stood up straight and looked towards the sky above, reciting the sentence, “It seems that it’s still not too late.”
Wen Shusheng’s finger, pointed towards the sky.
“Wow…”
Immediately, in the four directions of his body, dozens of golden vines appeared, and those vines scattered eye-catching light, like more than a dozen divine cords, growing fast upwards along the walls of the Broad Cold Divine Palace.
“Boom boom.”
In an instant, six powerhouses who had reached the peak of True Sainthood were entangled in the golden vines and ripped off from above the Divine Palace, falling heavily to the ground.
At this moment, only Silent Skybreak, Bu Pole, Ling Mi, Su Qingling, and Zhang Ruochen remained at the top of the Broad Cold Divine Palace.
However, they also suffered attacks from the golden vines.
“Wen Shusheng is truly a headache-inducing fellow, even starting a long-range attack on us.”
Bu Ji roared angrily and ripped off the golden vines with a claw, but, in an instant, the golden vines grew back, and, the number of vines became more numerous, and their toughness also became stronger.
“He cultivates spiritual power and has comprehended the Way of Life again, his advantage is long-range attacks.”Ling Mi said.
Silent Skybreak snorted coldly and said, “If he was within ten feet, I could poke a bloody hole in his body, with a single spear.”
“Then you go down to deal with him?”Su Qingling laughed.
At the Ten Thousand Saints venue, the Saints of the Guanghan Realm, all of them were stunned.
One of the Supreme Saints said, “Previously, I had always thought that Wen Shusheng’s strength was only comparable to Su Qingling’s, but I didn’t think that he could actually engage more than a dozen strong people at the same time with the power of one person.”?A smirk appeared in Wu Hao’s eyes as he said, “Long-range attacks, Wen Shusheng would have been the number one person in the same realm. However, to say that he is much stronger than Su Qingling and Ling Mi is an exaggeration. The reason why Su Qingling and Ling Mi and the others were held back by him was because, none of them were willing to jump down from the top of the Broad Cold Divine Palace and fight Wen Shusheng at close range.”
Those elder saints present also nodded, agreeing with Wu Hao’s viewpoint.
One of the vines that Wen Shusheng had struck out spread over towards the holy sword and wrapped around the top of its hilt.
Just when everyone thought that the holy sword would be taken away by Wen Shusheng, a ball of green flame flew out and struck above the golden vine.
“Giggle.”
The golden vines burned like fiery snakes, and in an instant, they burned to ashes.
“How is that possible? Those golden vines were condensed by Wen Shusheng with his spiritual power and the rules of life, and a ball of flame can actually burn the golden vines into flying ashes.”
A pair of eyes, all of them stared towards the Tong Tian Realm Saint who had struck the flame.
Even some of the great saints who had their eyes closed opened their eyes and looked towards the top of the Broad Cold Divine Palace.
“The Pure Destruction divine Flame, it’s really getting interesting.”One of the Great Saints recited a sentence, a smile appearing on his face.
Wen Shusheng was also slightly surprised, and then, mobilised all those other golden vines as well, all of them attacking Zhang Ruochen.
At the top of each vine, a three-foot long spike was growing.
Zhang Ruochen’s hands opened with seven orifices and slapped forward, a large swathe of Pure Destruction Divine Flame surged out, burning all the golden vines into flying ash.
Afterwards, Zhang Ruochen turned around and rushed over in the direction of the Holy Sword.
“I had underestimated you earlier, so it turns out, you are really a formidable character.”
Silent Skybreaker roared, stabbing out his Golden Scale Snake Spear and attacking Zhang Ruochen’s heart, “Broken Killing Third Stance, Divine Form Destruction.”
At the same time, Su Qingling, Ling Mi, and Bu Pole all struck out their attacks as well, attacking Zhang Ruochen, who was closest to the Sacred Sword, from the other three directions.
At this point in the battle, no one could hold back any longer, and all of them struck out their strongest means.
Su Qingling mobilised her entire body’s holy qi and struck out two Ten Thousand Stripes Saint Artifact level holy swords, producing the semi-complete power of a Ten Thousand Stripes Saint Artifact.
Ling Mi took out a Dragon Bead and pinched it in the palm of her hand, and instantly, there was a huge ice dragon that flew out from the spirit bead.
“Zhang Ruochen, get out of the way, I’m going to unleash the strongest power of the Great Saint Battle Spirit.”
A lion roar came out of Bu Ji’s mouth, with a golden ripple surging outwards, and then, behind him, a ten-odd feet long golden Lion Battle Spirit was propped up, bursting out with a muddy Great Sage aura.
If Zhang Ruochen did not avoid retreating, he would definitely fall into a dangerous situation where he was attacked from all sides.
However, Zhang Ruochen refrained from retreating and summoned the Buddha Emperor’s Relic, holding it in the palm of his hand and stirring up the origin power within.
“Wow…”
A Buddha Shadow and a Dragon Shadow, presented at the same time, blasted forward, colliding with the attacks of the four great experts.
“Boom.”
The attacks of the four great experts were actually blocked for a breath of time by the origin power of the Sherpa.
In that one breath of time, the Sacred Eating Flower that rushed out from behind Zhang Ruochen wrapped around the hilt of the Sacred Sword and pulled it out from the gap between the two Sacred Stones.
In the next breath of time, the attacks of the four great masters broke the defence of the Sacred Stone and blasted towards the front.
However, before that, Zhang Ruochen had already jumped off the 400-odd feet high Broad Cold Divine Palace first, plummeting straight down.
“Rumble.”
Zhang Ruochen landed in the centre of the Ten Thousand Sacred Venue and half-kneeled on the ground, having a circle of Sacred Qi waves that surged out in all directions.
With that, Zhang Ruochen retracted the Sacred Eating Flower from his body, grabbed the hilt of his Saint Sword, and raised it towards his head.
A Saint at the early stage of the Tong Tian Realm seized the Saint Sword!
The entire arena was silent.
No one was not surprised.
The strength of this TongTian Realm Saint was evident to all, having fought with all five of the strongest True Saint experts that had shaken the Guanghan Realm, especially the last strike, which had actually blocked the attacks of the four major experts for a breath of time.
The point was, how could a Saint at the early stage of the Tong Tian Realm be so powerful?
Silent Sky Breaker, Su Qing Ling, Bu Pole, and Ling Mi, four figures stood at the top of the Broad Cold Profound Palace, either sharp, beautiful and spiritual, masculine and strong, or ethereal like an immortal, and on each of their faces, an unbelievable look was revealed.
Wu Hao’s finger, gently stroked his chin, and an excited look finally appeared in his eyes.
That was a look that could only be found when one sought out an opponent.
The Silent Emperor, who was sitting at the very top of the All Saints Conference, revealed a smile, “Not bad, with him and Wu Hao, the Saint Level Merit Battle will really be able to put up a fight.”
The Great Sage of the Nine Spirits also nodded in satisfaction and announced, “The Divine Envoy for the Saint Level Merit Battle, Zhang Ruochen. With this, the Ten Thousand Saints Conference is officially over. The elected Realm Sons and Divine Envoys will stay behind, and the rest of the Saints may now exit the meeting place.”
After the saints retreated, only the three giants, Wu Hao and Zhang Ruochen, along with the other two Saint Kings, remained in the venue.
Those two Saint Kings were the Boundary Son and Divine Envoy of the Saint King Merit War.
The Nine Spirits Great Sage took the lead in handing over the rewards of the two Saint Kings, and was also explaining something to them, after which, the two Saint Kings left first.
Zhang Ruochen and Wu Hao walked forward and bowed to the three giants at the same time, “Greetings to the Great Sage.”
The Great Sage of the Nine Spirits nodded and signalled for them to get up, then, he took out two Sacred Jade Vases from his sleeves and struck them out.
Zhang Ruochen and Wu Hao received the Sacred Jade Treasure Bottles and they put them away, no need to guess, it must be ten thousand drops of Condensed Truth Holy Dew inside.
The Nine Spirits Great Sage said, ”The battlefield of the Saint Level Merit War that you are travelling to this time is the Ancestral Spirit Realm, and your enemy, the Rakshasa Clan of the Hell Realm, and the entire duration of the Merit War is three months. As for the detailed rules, when the Saint Merit War officially begins, you will naturally know. Telling you all this is just to let you know what you need to prepare in advance.”
Zhang Ruochen’s brows furrowed as he asked, “Hasn’t the Ancestral Spirit Realm already been destroyed?”
The Nine Spirits Great Sage was very patient and said, “The Ancestral Spirit Realm has indeed been shattered into several pieces, and many interfaces have even turned into flying ash, entering the Armageddon Battlefield Stage, so all of the Rakshasa Clan’s powerhouses at the Saint King level and above have already withdrawn.”
Zhang Ruochen asked once again, “What is the Armageddon Battlefield Stage? What is the Rakshasa Clan? Why have all the powerhouses at the Saint King level, withdrawn?”
The Nine Spirits Great Sage smiled heartily, “In this matter, you can go and ask Qing Ling, she can tell you the answers to these questions. Here, I must instruct you on a few more important matters.”
