Snowflakes drifted in the sky, and the temperature was abnormally cold, as if it was trying to freeze space.
Halfway up the holy mountain, there was a three feet wide canyon from which the cold air gushed out, changing the climate and the rules of heaven and earth for hundreds of miles in a radius.
The closer one got to the canyon, even Saints felt the cold chill that pierced their bones, as if their blood was going to freeze and solidify.
At the mouth of the canyon, Zhang Ruochen stopped and observed the thick ice walls.
The Nine-Headed Green Bird and Buji, however, had no qualms at all, and after using the Sacred Soul Domain to protect their bodies, they rushed towards the depths of the canyon.
“Wait.”
Zhang Ruochen chided.
The one bird and one person who had already rushed into into the canyon hurriedly stopped in their tracks. Buji eagerly said, “What are we waiting for? If we don’t go after them, the benefits will all be scooped up by the cultivators of the Blade Prison Realm, and we won’t even be able to have a mouthful of soup.”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were heavy as he took a step forward and came close to the ice wall.
Princess Rakshasa stood behind Zhang Ruochen, and a dark red light emerged from her pair of phoenix eyes as she looked through the ice wall.
“Wow…”
Zhang Ruochen’s palm pressed over, and there was a thin filament of flame surging out, a wave of heat that dispersed the surrounding cold air.
A moment later, the ice wall melted, revealing a large rocky mountain.
On the mountain, there was actually a strange inscription carved on it, each one quite arcane, with holy light flowing on it, much like it covered the entire holy mountain.
“Great Saint Inscription Crest …… and it’s also an Inscription Crest of the Extinction Attribute ……”
Su Qingling’s face, turned a little pale, and she couldn’t help but take two steps backwards.
Great Saint Inscriptions were also divided into different attributes, with the most terrifying inscription being the extermination attribute.
Having already intruded into the canyon Nine Headed Green Bird and Bu Ji, who naturally knew how terrifying the Great Saint Inscription of the Extinction Attribute was, were scared and a little weak in the legs, and hurriedly took a careful step backwards.
Luckily, Zhang Ruochen called out to them, or else they wouldn’t know how to die.
Princess Rakshasa couldn’t help but give Zhang Ruochen a high look, earlier, even she didn’t realise the Great Sage Inscription below the ice wall, a human kid actually noticed the danger first.
It wasn’t that Princess Rakshasa wasn’t as smart as Zhang Ruochen, but, this kind of ability, only cultivators who had been in danger for many years, walking on thin ice, could detect it in advance.
The environment that Princess Rakshasa was in, compared to Zhang Ruochen, was simply a heaven and a hell. Therefore, even if her wisdom was mortal and she was able to exterminate a great world in just thirty years, in certain aspects, she could not compare to Zhang Ruochen.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen sensed a faint fluctuation of Saint Force and hurriedly turned around, looking towards the white flying snow.
Only to see that a group of cultivators carrying holy swords, actually numbering more than a hundred, walked out from the flying snow. Their bodies were surging with a powerful Saint Might.
Among them, the one at the forefront was none other than the Sword Prison Realm’s Realm Son, Fang Yi, dressed in a long, white, dust-free coat, with a long ebony face and a handsome face, and a white star seal at the centre of his brow, which spread a radiant light similar to that of a star.
The cultivators who travelled with Fang Yi were all the top saints of the Blade Prison Realm, with their cultivations reaching at least the Heavenly Realm. With such a group of powerhouses in the Saint realm gathered together, even a one-step Saint King would have to avoid them, I’m afraid.
“Fang Yi.”
Su Qingling recognised Fang Yi’s identity and immediately revealed a vigilant expression, summoning two Ten Thousand Stripes Saint Artifact level Saint Swords and taking a defensive stance.
As if Fang Yi did not see Su Qingling, his eyes stared above the stone wall of the mountain, revealing a smirk, “So it’s a Great Saint Inscription of the Destruction Attribute, no wonder the Heavenly Chance Compass detected an extremely dangerous aura.”
In Fang Yi’s hand, he cupped a crystal clear compass, and beams of light surged out from the compass, wrapping around the Saints of the Blade Prison Realm.
It was with the shroud of the Heavenly Chance Compass, sealing the Heavenly Chance, that earlier, Zhang Ruochen and Princess Rakshasa had not sensed them hiding nearby.
The Saints of the Blade Prison Realm, who clearly did not place Zhang Ruochen and the others in their eyes, all had a smirk on their faces as they flattered one another.
“Lord Boundary Son is really powerful, if it were us, we would definitely not be able to detect the great danger hidden here, and would have unimaginable consequences if we ventured in.”A beautiful True Saint with a pretty face stared at Fang Yi with adoring eyes.
“Lord Boundary Son holds the Heavenly Chance Compass, he can tend to the good and avoid the bad, blocking the Heavenly Chance, such a means is many times more superior than that princess of the Rakshasa Clan.”
“The Rakshasa Princess is merely holding a large number of cultivators from the Rakshasa Clan to be able to break through the Ancestral Spirit Realm, and her own abilities may not be as powerful.”A Supreme Saint with long golden hair all over his body said so.
All of the Saints of the Blade Prison Realm had heard of Princess Rakshasa’s mighty name, but none of them had actually seen her.
As Princess Rakshasa listened to their comments, not only did she not get angry, instead, a shallow smile appeared in her eyes.
At this moment, the Saints of the Blade and Prison Realm finally gazed at Zhang Ruochen and the others, to be exact, it should be Su Qingling and Buji.
Both cultivators of the Shatuo Heavenly Realm, many of the Saints of the Blade Prison Realm knew Su Qingling and Buji, knowing that the two of them possessed an extraordinary status in the Broad Cold Realm.
That golden-haired Supreme Saint, named Nie Shan, walked out from the camp of the Saints of the Blade Prison Realm and scanned Zhang Ruochen and the others, revealing a smile, ”So you’re friends from the Broad Cold Realm, you’ve come at the right time. The depths of that canyon should contain a large amount of Condensed Truth Sacred Dew, go and help us take it out, how about the Broad Cold Realm and the Blade Prison Realm each share half of it?”
On Bu Ji’s face, a look of sullen anger appeared as he said, “Nie Shan, what do you mean, how terrifying is the Great Saint Inscription of the Extinction Attribute, letting us go in to retrieve the Condensed Truth Sacred Dew, and we still have to share half of it with you?”
Su Qingling walked directly in front of Buji and said coldly, “Don’t you understand? They want us to go in and explore the path, not to mention whether or not we can come out alive, even if we do fetch the Condensed Truth Sacred Dew, will they share half of it with us?”
Nie Shan knew that Su Qingling was the granddaughter of the Great Sage, and he also knew that Bu Ji was the Great Sage’s disciple, but, fearless, he laughed, “There are some things that are awkward once they are explained.”
Nie Shan was the only son of a great saint of the Blade Prison Realm, and his talent was not below Su Qingling or Buji. More importantly, his cultivation, which had already reached the Supreme Saint realm, was far from Su Qingling and Buji.
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze, on the other hand, was fixed on Fang Yi’s body, now that this Sector Son of the Blade and Prison Realm did not stop Nie Shan’s behaviour, and from the beginning to the end of the day, he was observing the Great Sage Inscription on the mountain, as if he was comprehending and thinking.
Seventeen Supreme Saints, thirty-nine True Saints, and seventy-five Tong Tian Realm Saints, with such a line-up, in the Kunlun Realm, I’m afraid that only the court of the First Central Empire could organise it.
What’s more, this was only a part of the power of the Blade and Prison Realm, there were still more powerful people that hadn’t arrived at the Giant Whale River Basin yet.
All of the Saints of the Blade Prison Realm were sneering as a murderous aura surged out from them, and then, approached Zhang Ruochen and the others.
Although Su Qingling and Buji were not afraid of them, they understood that in front of such a large group of powerhouses, they did not have any resistance at all, and one of the other party would be able to destroy their godly forms by striking out a single Sacred Art.
Nie Shan laughed, “The battlefield mirror recorded everything in the Ancestral Spirit Realm, so we won’t go too far, as long as you guys enter the canyon to help us clear the way, and after obtaining the Condensed Truth Sacred Dew, we definitely won’t make things difficult for you guys, and we’ll give you a way out of this.”
Another Supreme Saint of the Blade and Prison Realm, who was quite strong, said, “On the Battlefield of Merit, it’s meant to be the weakest of the weak and the strongest of the strong, there are no rules to speak of. With the strength of just a few of you, it’s better to hold back in front of the strong, and you might still be able to live. Isn’t that right?”
The Saints of the Blade and Prison Realm were all arrogant in their postures, wanting to crush Zhang Ruochen and the others with great power, forcing them to compromise and obey.
Su Qingling and Buji were quite furious, even Mu Lingshi and Qing Mo felt exasperated and looked towards Zhang Ruochen at the same time, as long as Zhang Ruochen gave a word, even if they knew they would not be able to defeat them, they would still have to fight with them to the death.
Zhang Ruochen was naturally not afraid of the Saints of the Blade Prison Realm, however, next to them was the Great Sage Inscription, once the battle exploded, in case it triggered the Great Sage Inscription, I’m afraid that not many people would be able to survive.
Therefore, Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to fight now, and was prepared to reveal his identity as a “Divine Envoy” to deter them. It wouldn’t be too late to wait until they left the Sacred Mountain and then take their time to deal with them.
Just as Zhang Ruochen was about to open his mouth, Princess Rakshasa took the first step and said, “On the Battlefield of Merit, it is indeed very cruel. Just as well, it seems that we have no choice at all but to enter the canyon to explore the path.”
As she said this, Princess Rakshasa even let out a ghostly sigh.
Su Qingling and Buji both glared fiercely at the Rakshasa Princess, furious, thinking that she did not have the slightest bit of backbone that a strong person should have, and actually compromised with the Blade Prison Realm so easily.
Zhang Ruochen, however, knew Princess Rakshasa quite well, with her strength and means, it was absolutely impossible for her to really submit to the Blade Prison Realm, but for a moment, it was impossible to guess what was in her mind.
The Rakshasa Princess blinked her eyes at Zhang Ruochen, and then, a voice, entered Zhang Ruochen’s ears, “Earlier, it was always your decision, how about I make the decision this time?”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed, revealing a thoughtful expression.
A powerful battle intent surged out from Su Qingling’s body as she said, “We must not compromise with them, Zhang Ruochen, how about we fight to the death, we might be able to kill our way out. The big deal is to invoke the Great Sage Inscription and we will all die together.”
Zhang Ruochen pressed Su Qingling’s arm, then, walking towards the canyon, he said, “Let’s go, let’s go in and explore the path.”
Su Qingling was slightly stunned, it did not occur to her that even Zhang Ruochen had compromised with the Blade Prison Realm, he was such a weak person, had she misjudged him in the past?
Bu Ji’s eyes were densely covered with blood, his hands were clenched into fists, feeling that Zhang Ruochen had disgraced the Broad Cold Realm and the Moon God by being the Divine Envoy of the Broad Cold Realm.
Qing Mo and Mu Lingshi trusted Zhang Ruochen quite a bit and without any hesitation, they immediately followed and entered the mouth of the canyon.
Su Qingling and Buji hesitated for a long time, but finally let out a long sigh, collected their holy power, and followed.
The Saints of the Blade and Prison Realm all revealed satisfied smiles.
Nie Shan purposely raised his voice and laughed, “Those who understand the times are the best, that’s only right.”
Upon hearing these words, Su Qingling and Buji both felt rather harsh, wanting to find a crack in the ground to burrow into. The gazes of the two of them stared towards Zhang Ruochen and Princess Rakshasa, who were walking at the very front, and then, they quickened their pace to catch up with them, ready to question them.
