Zhang Ruochen naturally wasn’t someone who was looking for trouble for nothing, if he had a choice, he would definitely choose the easiest way.
The reason why he, hadn’t made a move was to wait and see.
Let the other Divine Son candidates duke it out first, and then he would decide to use a few percent of his strength to complete the second examination.
If he could save his strength, he should try to save it as much as possible.
The current situation was the best outcome for him.
“As long as I pick an inferior level Divine Son, with my strength, I can easily win even if I use only 10% of my strength.”Zhang Ruochen secretly said.
Without further thought, Zhang Ruochen began to utilize his holy qi, pressing his right palm on top of a raised white bone and injecting his holy qi into it.
“Whew.”
An ear-piercing whistling sound resounded from the cliffside of the Blood God Altar.
In an instant, with the Blood God Altar as the center, all of the blood qi in heaven and earth turned, forming a huge vortex that was quite loud.
“Gu Linfeng is only at the cultivation level of a Fourth Order Half-Saint, how is he able to attract such a powerful fluctuation of blood qi?”
All of the Divine Son Candidates, all of them felt puzzled.
On the sixth level of the Blood God Altar, strands of blood qi converged over, forming a cloud of blood qi thirty feet in diameter.
In the center of the cloud, there was a grain of silver light flickering.
Zhang Ruochen condensed his eyes and penetrated the cloud, only to see that the grain of silver light was actually a long-haired man with a human head and snake body.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t know about the Blood God Sect’s successive God Sons, thus, he didn’t know who this person was, let alone how strong he was.
The long-haired man with a human head and snake body took a deep breath, inhaling all the blood qi, all of it, into his abdomen as he stood in mid-air, looking down at Zhang Ruochen below.
Similarly a fourth-stage Half-Saint, this man’s body, however, emitted a flooding ancient aura that was very majestic, giving off the feeling that it was very much like a human-shaped holy mountain standing there.
“How come there is only one person?”Zhang Ruochen was a bit surprised.
The human-headed, snake-bodied, long-haired man said indifferently, “Since ancient times, I am the only one who has participated in the Divine Son Battle with the cultivation of a Fourth Order Half-Saint. Therefore, your opponent will have to be me.”
Zhang Ruochen nodded his head as if he had come to a realization and said, “So that’s how it is.”
The long-haired man with the human head and snake body stared at Zhang Ruochen, shook his head, and said, “The fact that you were able to ascend to the sixth level of the Blood God Altar also proves that you have a lot of potential, and I don’t want to kill you. You admit defeat!”
“Admit defeat?”
Zhang Ruochen shook his head, his gaze was firm as he said, “I won’t admit defeat, and today, no one can stop me from ascending to the position of Divine Son.”
At this moment, all the other Blood God Sect cultivators were trying to recall, wondering very much what the man with the human head and snake body was.
There was no description of him at all on top of the canonical books that recorded successive generations of divine sons.
At the top of the Blood God Altar, the saints of the Blood God Sect also revealed puzzled expressions, all of them trying to think hard.
“On the canonical books, there is no record of this person, who exactly is he?”
The hearts of the crowd were filled with questions.
Right at this moment, the Palace Master of the Qian Zi Heavenly Palace, who was in charge of all the canonical records of the Blood God Sect, revealed a look of astonishment in his eyes as he said, “Of all the successive generations of Divine Sons, there’s only one person who hasn’t been written down on the top of the canonical records.”
“Who?”
The eyes of the Qianzi Heavenly Palace Palace Master were somewhat complicated as he said, “The first divine Son of the Blood God Sect, the Blood Spirit Immortal.”
Hearing these words, the crowd both revealed a look of surprise, while some were even more puzzled.
Since it was the first divine son of the Blood God Sect, how could it not be written down on top of the canonical books?
The Qian Zi Heavenly Palace Palace Master continued, “Blood Spirit Immortal was the Blood God Ancestor’s eldest disciple, and had already followed the Blood God Ancestor when he started the Blood God Sect. His natural talent was very impressive, and during the Divine Son Contest, he ascended to the eighth level of the Blood God Altar.”
“The Blood Spirit Immortal’s achievements were also quite high, cultivating into a great saint and nearly becoming a god. However, after his cultivation became strong, he actually rebelled against the Blood God Sect and wanted to start his own sect, and was ultimately killed by the Blood God Ancestor and removed from the sect.”
Hearing the Qianzi Heavenly Palace Master’s narration, the crowd felt as if they were listening to a mythological story and felt very shocked.
Characters from myths and legends had unexpectedly appeared in front of the crowd.
“Is it really the First Generation Divine Son?”
“This Spirit Void Body in front of us, isn’t it an heir to a god, who can be his opponent?”
“The Blood Spirit Immortal is just a little bit short of becoming a god, and when put into the present, it’s the number one powerhouse in the Kunlun Realm. In the same realm, trying to block one of his moves is not an easy task.”
At this moment, at the corner of Huo Xin’s mouth, a smile surfaced.
Since, Gu Linfeng’s opponent was the first divine Son, the Blood Spirit Immortal, who was surely bound to lose, it was clear that the position of divine Son was already in his pocket.
“Heaven’s will, it’s all heaven’s will. Originally, Huo Xin had no chance at all of becoming a Divine Son, who would have thought that Gu Linfeng’s opponent would be only one person, and that he would also be the strongest Divine Son of the Blood God Sect since the beginning of time. What is this if not heaven’s will?”
Even Hai Lingyin and Wei Longxing were a bit gloomy, they had to admit that Huo Xin’s fortune was very powerful, all the good things, all of them were met by him.
“I drop that go, this luck, it’s too heaven-defying.”
Sun Di Di spat viciously, and although he was very unwilling, he had to admit that Huo Xin was about to become the Blood God Sect’s new Divine Son.
Everyone thought that upon learning the identity of the Blood Spirit Immortal, Gu Linfeng would definitely admit defeat.
If he did not admit defeat, his life would be in danger.
The Blood Spirit Immortal flew down from mid-air and stood opposite Zhang Ruochen, the lower half of his body completely covered in silver scales as he said, ”I will advise you for the last time, it is still not too late to admit defeat. Once I strike, you won’t even have a chance to admit defeat.”
Zhang Ruochen’s heart was indeed a bit speechless, how could he not expect to meet the Blood God Sect’s strongest divine son.
This luck …… was no one else!
Having come this far, there was naturally no reason to admit defeat.
The Blood Spirit Immortal was indeed a figure from myths and legends, however, Zhang Ruochen’s accomplishments might not be comparable to even the gods of his youth.
Since this was the case, what was there to fear?
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes, still firm, stretched out his palm wearing the Seven Killing Fist Gloves in a welcoming stance, saying, “Battle! Honestly speaking, I have always been curious about how strong were the human masters before the Middle Ages?”
Upon hearing Zhang Ruochen’s words, the entire Blood God Sect’s cultivators were even more boisterous than when they had previously learned of the Blood Spirit Immortal’s identity, as if they had exploded.
Huo Xin was naturally quite taken aback, and then, a sneer appeared on his face, “Gu Linfeng, are you that unwilling to give up the position of Divine Son to me that you have to seek your own death?”
Wei Longxing and Hai Lingyin both shook their heads in succession as well, feeling that Gu Linfeng was too unappreciative of his own life.
Even for characters as proud as the two of them, they didn’t dare to fight with the Blood Spirit Immortal, and once they did, they would most likely lose their lives.
Sun Dadi froze slightly and after coming to his senses, he yelled, “Boss Gu, impulsiveness is the devil, calm down, you must remain calm.”
The Blood God Sect Holy Maiden’s eyes revealed a disappointed look as she sighed softly, “Originally, I thought that you were someone who knew how to bide your time, but I never thought that you would be swept away by the position of Divine Son. Challenging the Blood Spirit Immortal, would there be a way to live?”
Ji Shui’s shell teeth, biting her lower lip, her eyes were rather icy as she muttered to herself, “Truly mad beyond bounds.”
Everyone thought that once Gu Linfeng challenged the Blood Spirit Immortal, he would also die for sure.
“Let’s all guess how many moves Gu Linfeng will be able to block the Blood Spirit Immortal?”Someone gloated and coaxed.
“How many more moves? What kind of character is the Blood Spirit Immortal, a great saint of the Middle Ages, a character capable of challenging the Blood God Ancestor. Even if the Blood Spirit Immortal only puts out a single finger, it’s still enough to press Gu Linfeng to death, just like pressing an ant to death.”
Zhang Ruochen’s back was straight, and there was a powerful confidence in his body.
“Good! I really didn’t expect that the Blood God Sect would have given birth to a descendant with such guts as you, so I’ll leave your body intact.”
The Blood Spirit Immortal’s arm made a move, and immediately, the interior of the Blood God Altar emitted a “crunching” sound, and a blood-red humanoid skeleton crawled out.
The Blood Spirit Immortal’s Spiritual Void Body merged with the blood-red skeleton.
The Blood Spirit Immortal stretched out a finger, and the tip of the finger emitted a bright and dazzling silver light, and a powerful power fluctuation spread out in all directions.
Below the altar, the Blood God Sect’s cultivators looked towards the sixth tier altar and were able to see that a piercing silver color, became brighter and brighter.
As if, in the Blood Spirit Immortal’s hands, he was pinching a star.
“Worthy of being a great saint in his youth, even a random move is so terrifying, not to mention a fourth-ranked half-saint, even a seventh-ranked half-saint might not be able to block this strike from him.”
The Blood Spirit Immortal pointed out a finger, and a silver-colored light, like a meteor breaking through the sky, landed on top of Zhang Ruochen’s head.
Many cultivators imagined in their minds that Gu Linfeng’s body split into pieces and turned into a bloody mist.
However, Zhang Ruochen took the initiative to meet it, injecting a steady stream of Saint Qi into the Seven Killing Fist Gloves, and densely-packed inscriptions emerged like a spider’s web.
The powerful palm seal, slapping out, collided with the Blood Spirit Immortal’s finger.
“Boom.”
The sixth level of the Blood God Altar resounded with a deafening roar.
Gu Linfeng’s body, instead of being torn apart, merely flew backwards a dozen feet, quickly landing on the ground and regaining his footing.
What made it even more surprising was that the Blood Spirit Immortal took a step backward before dissolving Gu Linfeng’s palm force.
Gu Linfeng was actually able to force the Blood Spirit Immortal to step back?
Many people felt that the scene before them was unreal.
If, for example, the Blood Spirit Immortal was strong enough to crush Gu Linfeng, he definitely wouldn’t have retreated.
“Gu Linfeng was actually able to block a few moves?”
The Blood God Sect Holy Maiden’s pair of starry eyes were filled with shock, her delicate body trembled lightly, and Gu Linfeng’s image in her heart was undergoing a sea change.
Gu Linfeng’s strength didn’t seem to be as weak as everyone thought, and was also a rather demonic existence.
