A large amount of Condensed Truth Sacred Dew entered Zhang Ruochen’s abdomen and immediately turned into an ice-cold, bone-piercing stream of air that wrapped around his organs and bowels, as if it was trying to freeze his blood to the point of solidification.
“Puffing.”
On the surface of Zhang Ruochen’s skin, a layer of white cold ice condensed.
The cold ice grew thicker and thicker, and in the end, it actually turned into an ice mountain, sealing Zhang Ruochen inside.
Zhang Ruochen held his breath, however, the Saint Qi in his body flowed ceaselessly, carrying strands of cold Qi continuously to the Qi Sea and integrating it into the Tongtian River.
In the Tongtian River, more than three hundred Saint Dao Rules were flowing non-stop, and each Saint Dao Rule contained an incomparably subtle power, representing a truth between heaven and earth.
Cultivating each Saint Dao Rule to the extreme, one could obtain the power to destroy the heavens and the earth.
Cultivating more than three hundred Saint Dao Rules at the same time was both an advantage, however, it also made Zhang Ruochen’s realm advancement quite difficult.
As time passed, finally, the first Saint Dao Rule, which had completely coalesced into its true state, fully manifested, and stood out in the Tongtian River.
Zhang Ruochen secretly rejoiced and continued to build on his efforts.
Second root, third root, fourth root ……
One by one, the Sacred Dao Rules continued to manifest, and soon there were more than a hundred Sacred Dao Rules that had shed their emptiness and transformed into the real thing.
The light radiating from the Tongtian River grew brighter and brighter, and the flow became faster and faster.
Even with the barrier of the Time and Space Crystal Stone, the Heaven and Earth Rules in the outside world still detected the changes in the Saint Dao Rules within Zhang Ruochen’s body.
“Wow.”
As if being led by an invisible force, on the surface of the Giant Whale River, the blood-red river water rippled, and then, transformed into a vortex that rolled up higher and higher waves of water.
At the centre of the vortex, a thick dragon scroll was condensed from Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, rushing from the surface of the river all the way to the top of the clouds, incomparably spectacular.
In Zhang Ruochen’s Qi Sea, the metamorphosis degree of the Sacred Dao Rules accelerated.
After about half a day, all the rules except for the Time Rule and the Space Rule were all stripped of their emptiness and transformed into the real thing, and the Tongtian River radiated a dazzling light, melting the icebergs wrapped around Zhang Ruochen’s body.
“To condense the Time Rule and Space Rule, the demand for the Condensed Truth Sacred Dew is just too great, worthy of the Everlasting Ancient Way.”
Zhang Ruochen drank another two hundred drops of Condensed Truth Sacred Dew and operated the Nine Heavens Bright Emperor Scripture, going all out to move the icy cold power in his body and continue to condense the Time Rule and Space Rule.
The Time Rule and Space Rule were like two bottomless pits, absorbing two hundred drops of Condensing Truth Sacred Dew, surprisingly, they had already failed to condense.
“Continue.”
Zhang Ruochen drank another two hundred drops of Condensing Truth Sacred Dew and continued to condense.
……
After the entire refinement of one thousand two hundred drops of Condensed Truth Saint Dew, finally, two slight sounds resounded from within the Time Saint Phase and Space Saint Phase, and then, two Saint Dao Rules that ran through the entire Tongtian River were revealed.
The Time Rule and Space Rule were both incomparably powerful, and it didn’t seem like they were following the Tongtian River, instead, it seemed like the Tongtian River was following them.
“Crackle.”
A series of popping sounds resounded within Zhang Ruochen’s body as he broke through the realm in one fell swoop and cultivated into a True Saint.
Immediately, Zhang Ruochen rushed out from the inner space of the Space-Time Crystal Stone, broke through the river and flew into mid-air, and instantly, the spiritual qi of the heavens and earth madly surged towards him, pouring into the one hundred and forty-four orifices throughout his body and the Divine Martial Seal at the centre of his brow.
Soon, the spiritual qi of this heaven and earth was absorbed.
However, his body was still in the process of detransformation, thus, Zhang Ruochen opened his spatial ring and took out more than a thousand Holy Stones, causing those Holy Stones to levitate around his body.
The holy qi contained in the holy stones was constantly being extracted and drilled into Zhang Ruochen’s body, some of which were integrated into the blood, internal organs, bones, and meridians, while some were integrated into the holy source and the Tongtian River.
A breakthrough in realm was also a breakthrough in life level.
After becoming a Saint, with each realm advancement, the cultivator’s longevity and life force would increase drastically, just because the life level was changing.
Obviously, the span from the Tong Tian Realm to the True Saint Realm was huge, so the life level would also increase by a large margin, and the demand for aura and holy qi would naturally be great.
The holy stones suspended around Zhang Ruochen became smaller and smaller, and in the end, the holy qi was lost and turned into white powder.
Zhang Ruochen’s body slowly floated downwards, landing on the banks of the Giant Whale River. On his body, bright holy light radiated out, and those holy lights formed one hundred and eight halos, as if one hundred and eight layers of defensive shields wrapped around him.
Having reached the True Saint realm, Zhang Ruochen’s aura also changed tremendously, becoming somewhat different from mortals, ethereal, dusty, immaculate, and divine, as if he was an exiled immortal from the Nine Heavens above.
Zhang Ruochen stretched out a finger and pointed it towards the front.
An ordinary cold ice rule flew out from the tip of his finger, and immediately, this piece of heaven and earth seemed to be affected by the cold ice rule, becoming incomparably cold, with large swathes of snow landing in a radius of thousands of kilometres, and this section of the Giant Whale River freezing into a river of ice.
“The True Realm is indeed too much more powerful than the Tong Tian Realm, no wonder those other Saints say that it’s impossible to fight across realms after reaching the Tong Tian Realm. But …… for me, crossing the Realm of True Saints and Supreme Saints to fight my enemies doesn’t seem to be a difficult task.”
“With my current strength, if I go through the wormhole again, I should be able to crush the Ninety-Nine Great Formations and the Second Grade Marquis, enough to kill them without leaving a single piece of armour.”
Zhang Ruochen’s five fingers pinched, and instantly, the glacier not far away burst apart and turned into a shattered glacier.
The Sacred Soul Split flew from afar and rushed into Zhang Ruochen’s body.
During the time that Zhang Ruochen had been cultivating, the Sacred Soul Split had not received a transmission from Mu Lingshi.
Zhang Ruochen couldn’t help but frown, a little worried, had she met with some misfortune?
Zhang Ruochen was no longer in the mood to kill his way back to the wormhole to exterminate those Marquises of the Rakshasa Clan, and immediately flew downstream along the Giant Whale River, preparing to capture a Marquise of the Rakshasa Clan or a Saint of the Shatuo Seven Realms, asking about the big events that had happened recently in the Giant Whale River Basin, and perhaps being able to find a trace of Mu Lingshi.
After flying for roughly 20,000 miles, Zhang Ruochen detected a violent battle fluctuation in front of him, a streak of holy light shot up into the sky, striking the air and causing it to shake slightly.
Zhang Ruochen opened his Heavenly Eyes and looked in the direction of the bursting battle, no Evil Shakra Qi was present, it was actually a group of Heavenly Court Realm’s Saints fighting.
“It’s the Blade Prison Realm again …… and the Violet Mansion Realm …… that is ……”
Seeing that figure, a strange expression appeared on Zhang Ruochen’s face, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.
There were a total of more than sixty Saints from the Blade Prison Realm and the Violet Mansion Realm, all of them were first-rate powerhouses, and among them, there were even three who had reached the Supreme Saint realm.
The Saint who was surrounded by them was none other than one of the Nine Heavenly Mysteries, the Myriad Handed Goddess, Qing Mo.
Compared to the time when she had followed by the side of “Yellow Smoke Dust”, Qing Mo’s appearance had changed greatly, and perhaps, this was her true appearance.
However, her aura and demeanour hadn’t changed once, so Zhang Ruochen recognised her at a glance.
Qing Mo’s cultivation level had already reached the True Saint realm, and her cultivation degree was considered quite astonishing. Having received the inheritance from the God of Eclipse, even if she was not a good fighter, her strength was still quite powerful, and she was actually able to fight with a powerhouse at the early stage of the Supreme Sage stage, fighting quite ferociously.
The Violet Mansion Realm’s Nanshu Supreme Saint, who looked to be in her twenties or eighties, very much like a young woman of considerable beauty, wore a gorgeous Saint’s garment, and a burning light appeared in her eyes as she said, “That silver-coloured chopper is quite something, it should be a formidable Divine Legacy Ancient Artifact.”
“The Kunlun Realm was once incomparably prosperous, giving birth to many gods, and those gods left behind countless rare treasures. Obviously, this girl was lucky enough to obtain one of them.”Yan Ju Supreme Sage said with cold and sharp eyes.
“In the entire Violet Mansion Realm, there aren’t even five God-legacy Ancient Artifacts combined, and almost all of them are in the hands of Great Saints. I didn’t expect that a Saint from the Kunlun Realm would actually hold a Divine Remnant Ancient Artifact. Continuing to hunt the Kunlun Realm’s Saints, we might be able to come across even more treasures.”
A murderous aura appeared in the eyes of the Fish Eye Supreme Sage, then, his hands formed a seal, and above his two palms, a mountain in the shape of five fingers condensed and blasted down towards Qing Mo.
Qing Mo was already heavily injured, and the clothes on his body were dyed red with blood, so where could he withstand the attack of the Fish Eye Supreme Sage?
“Snap.”
Qing Mo had originally chopped the silver chopper out, but she was crushed by the five-fingered mountain and lake and broke her arm, her bones shattered, and one of her slender jade hands, directly lignified and turned into a green-coloured vine.
The silver-coloured chopper crashed to the ground with a bang.
Qing Mo was originally timid and fragile, earlier had been hard to hold on, at this moment, suffered a heavy blow could no longer hold on, tears flowed from her eyes, and she directly cried out.
The Fish Eye Supreme Sage lifted up the silver chopper on the ground, suppressing the artefact spirit in the chopper, an ecstatic look appeared on his face, “Divine Legacy Ancient Artifact, it really is a Divine Legacy Ancient Artifact, after obtaining it, even if we encountered a Third Grade Marquis, this Sage would be able to slice and kill him with a single slash.”
Afterwards, the Fish Eye Supreme Sage’s gaze, stared towards Qing Mo, who was not far away, with a ferocious light in his eyes.
The Nanshu Supreme Sage said, “Don’t kill her, her original body is a Green Ink Sacred Vine that is already 40,000 to 50,000 years old, and is an excellent material for refining Sacred Pills. After killing her, the medicinal properties will be greatly reduced.”
“I don’t want to be refined into a pill, I …… don’t …… oooh ……” Qing Mo bit her lips, looking incomparably delicate, sobbing non-stop, crying like a pear as she continuously fell backwards.
Her soft and timid appearance didn’t have a trace of a True Saint’s appearance, instead, she looked like a rich young lady who had encountered a robber, appearing helpless.
The Nanshu Supreme Sage sneered and said, ”A True Saint, and you’re even pretending to be pitiful, you think you can get away with this? Let me tell you, coming to the Ancestral Spirit Realm, there are already sixteen Kunlun Realm Saints who have died in the hands of this Saint.”
“I’m not pretending to be pitiful, if you want to kill …… you guys just kill, anyway …… don’t refine me into a potion anyway …… I’m just a cooking…… “Qing Mo is like a small quail that is shivering, constantly sobbing, and her voice is getting lower and lower as she speaks, so low that I am afraid that only she herself can hear it.
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
Nan Shu Supreme Sage’s eyes sank, losing her patience as she stretched out a palm, cupped it into a claw shape, and grabbed it forward through the air. Immediately, a claw mark, tens of feet long, coalesced.
Suddenly, a white arrow flew in from beyond the sky.
“Pfft.”
The arrow pierced through Nanshu Supreme Sage’s claw, leaving a bloody hole.
The dozens of feet long claw print coalesced by the Nanshu Supreme Sage had already rushed to Qing Mo’s body and suffered the impact of the arrow, immediately collapsing and opening up, turning into a wisp of green smoke.
