Murong Yue’s body was radiating an astonishingly chilling power as she stood behind Zhang Ruochen, looking out at the direction the Immortal Blood Race had retreated in, saying, “Those princes and royal daughters of the Immortal Blood Race, they actually chose to retreat, I thought that they were going to continue fighting.”
Not only Murong Yue, but Huang Yichen, Qing Mo, Xiao Hei, Sun Di Di, Da Sikong, Er Sikong, and Princess Baili were all lined up behind Zhang Ruochen as well.
Bright holy light radiated from each of them, with heart-stopping power fluctuations surging out.
Aside from Xiao Hei, the rest of them had all refined the Sacred Pills, and their cultivation had increased to varying degrees. At this moment, they had boundless battle intent and were eager to compete with the Immortal Blood Clan’s Prince and Royal Daughter.
Sun Dadi, who had passed through the second Paramount Sacred Tribulation, carried an iron rod and shouted, “I also wanted to fight with the Immortal Blood Clan’s Crown Prince as well, but it’s just a pity that by the time I had passed through the second Paramount Sacred Tribulation, they had all already fled, it’s really disappointing.”
Zhang Ruochen laughed, “You guys should be glad that the Ming Clan really went to war with the Immortal Blood Clan, and someone would definitely die in battle.”
“The Prince Qi Sheng of the Qi Tian Clan is quite terrifying in terms of strength, and can be considered as a rare ghost talent of the Immortal Blood Clan that comes out once in ten thousand years, apart from me, I’m afraid that only the Grand Sect Master and the Second Sect Master can join hands to fight against him.”
Hearing these words, everyone put away their smiles and were all startled.
One must know that the Great Sikong and the Second Sikong teamed up and were able to battle the Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon.
Now, the Second Monk had taken the Holy Pill, and even though he hadn’t yet fully refined the Holy Pill, his cultivation had already risen greatly, on the verge of reaching the pinnacle of the Second Juncture Associate Saint.
Was Prince Qi Tian’s strength that powerful that he could deal with the present day Grand Sect Master and Second Sect Master?
Zhang Ruochen said, “Prince Qi Tian was born with six wings and has mastered the God-Extinguishing Cross Shield, just like the King of the Underworld in the world, before the Great Sikong and the Second Sikong had crossed the Third Paragon Tribulation, they would most likely lose if they fought him.”
Now, even the heavenly fearless Sun Di Di was quiet and did not dare to shout anymore.
Murong Yue was very curious and asked, “Since Prince Qi Tian’s strength is so terrifying, why would he choose to retreat?”
Zhang Ruochen pondered for a moment and said, “There are both external and internal reasons. Both Prince Qi Tian and I have a lot of concerns, and at this sensitive time period now, once we duel, it will not be beneficial to anyone.”
“Your concern is the number one on the Half-Saint Ranking, Qiu Yu?”Huang Yixian said.
“It’s not just him.”
In Zhang Ruochen’s mind, the figure of the Heaven’s Destiny Emperor appeared, and a scornful look flashed in his eyes.
On the surface, the Heavenly Destiny Emperor was also a human and should belong to the same camp as Zhang Ruochen.
In reality, when he was in the netherworld, Zhang Ruochen had forced Yin Xuanji to give up his physical body, causing the Heaven’s Destiny Great Emperor to lose one of his best bodies.
Now that the Heaven’s Destiny Great Emperor had begun to live a second life, but could only use a body that was not perfect, and his strength was greatly reduced, how could he not hold a grudge against Zhang Ruochen?
The various forces in the Green Dragon Market Realm were actually holding each other back, in a delicate balance.
“What about this Blood Saint of the Green Sky Clan?”
Little Black grinned and brought up the Zotian Blood Saint.
When he was at the Dragon Top Mountain, Xiao Hei had severely injured the Zuo Tian Blood Saint and used a secret technique to seal the Saint Source in his body so that he would not explode his Saint realm cultivation and die with the crowd.
“Why don’t you immediately kneel down for the Sovereign?”Murong Yue chided.
“Sovereign? What Sovereign?”
The Zotian Blood Saint’s body had an aura of arrogance, and his eyes glanced at him, revealing a disdainful look.
Being a Saint realm being, one could proudly look down on all beings in the world, and even if one was reduced to a prisoner, there was no way one would kneel down to a Half Saint.
Murong Yue drew her Saint Sword and chopped towards Zotian Blood Saint’s legs.
“Giggle.”
Zotian Blood Saint’s two hamstrings were chopped off, holy blood flowed from the bend of his legs, and his legs were trembling unceasingly.
“The person in front of you is the Ming Sect Master. How can you not kneel just because you say so?”
Murong Yue retracted his sword and struck the top of Zotian Blood Saint’s head with a palm strike, suppressing him to the point where he knelt on the ground, his legs sinking inside into the dirt.
“What Ming Zong …… has never heard of it at all.”
An old face of the Zotian Blood Saint became very fierce, clenching his teeth and bracing his hands on the ground, trying to get back up.
Being a Saint, but being suppressed by a group of juniors to the point of kneeling on the ground, Zotian Blood Saint was naturally quite stifled, and swore in his heart that as long as he could return to the Kunlun Realm and unlock the seals in his body, he would definitely suck everyone present into a Catching Corpse.
“It’s just a lower realm Saint, there’s no value. Saint Eating Flower, over to you!”
Zhang Ruochen casually uttered a sentence that sentenced a Saint to death.
From the beginning to the end, he didn’t even look squarely at the Zotian Blood Sage, instead, he was thinking about something else.
On Zhang Ruochen’s back, a slender silver root sprouted out, and then the vines of the Sacred Eating Flower manifested, rooting themselves on the Zotian Blood Saint’s body.
“To actually be able to absorb a living Saint, it’s really wonderful, say no more, I’ll be able to use this to ripen the fruit. Zhang Ruochen, you’re still quite a reliable person, no wonder you were able to obtain the approval of the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood.”
The Sacred Flower Eater was quite excited and couldn’t help but praise Zhang Ruochen.
The Zotian Blood Saint, however, was quite miserable, having his flesh pierced through by the roots of the Sacred Flower Eater, his body gradually becoming parched as a sharp wailing sound came out of his mouth.
All along, he had treated humans as food, greatly enjoying the wonderful feeling of draining the blood from their bodies.
Now, he finally tasted what it was like to be sucked dry of essence and blood by another living being, it was simply excruciatingly painful, every moment was torture.
The miserable screams of the Zotian Blood Saint resounded through this piece of heaven and earth.
The living beings of the Immortal Blood Clan all gritted their teeth in hatred, feeling that Zhang Ruochen was humiliating the entire Immortal Blood Clan.
The human cultivators, however, all felt a sense of euphoria and admired Zhang Ruochen to the core.
It was because, Zhang Ruochen had done what they wanted to do and couldn’t do.
“Seemingly gentle as jade, in fact, Zhang Ruochen also has a domineering side, this time when I came to the Green Dragon Market Realm, I’ve kind of reacquainted myself with him.”
“Using a Saint as a flower fertiliser, I really don’t know how much crazier things he can do.”
“The Immortal Blood Clan also doesn’t know how much human blood they have to absorb before they can reach the Saint realm, the Zotian Blood Saint originally deserved to die, and Zhang Ruochen doing this is really a great relief.”
……
As it continued to absorb the Essence and Blood Qi of the Zotian Blood Saint, the fruit at the top of the Sacred Flower Eating Vine became larger and larger, and the light that emanated from it became brighter and brighter.
Zhang Ruochen stared at the fruit of the Sacred Eating Flower, only to see that, on the fruit, a silver-coloured pattern appeared, much like a strange silver moon hanging in the sky.
“This one fruit, it should be extraordinary, and I wonder what effect it will have if I eat it?”Zhang Ruochen said to himself.
The vines of the Sacred Eating Flower, shook violently and sent out a spiritual force to warn Zhang Ruochen, “This is the first fruit I have produced, you’d better not hit on it.”Zhang Ruochen wore a smile on his face, still interested in the silver-coloured fruit, and had it not been for the fact that the fruit had not matured yet, he might have already picked it off.
The Sacred Flower Eater added, “The first fruit is my virtual body, belonging to another me. If you eat it, I will fight you to the death.”
The Sacred Flower Eater spoke in a serious manner, not like he was deliberately deceiving Zhang Ruochen.
“A false body?”
Zhang Ruochen revealed a puzzled look and said, “What do you mean by that? A flower can still possess a virtual body? It can also have a second body? Then, what is your current body?”
The Sacred Eating Flower was worried that Zhang Ruochen had really eaten its imaginary body, so, it explained, “My current body is called my true body. The first fruit that grew was an illusory body, similar to a human’s Saint Soul, hence the name Imaginary Body.”
“In the future, the second fruit that grows, the third fruit …… can also have other bodies, for example, a physical body, a Dharma body, and a hundred thousand incarnations.”
“Of course, the true body, virtual body, physical body, Dharma body, and 100,000 incarnations can either be fused into one, or cultivated separately.”
Zhang Ruochen nodded as he came to a realisation, his gaze once again fixing on the silver fruit at the top of the vine as he said with a smile, “That fruit, is that your virtual body? How do I feel that it contains a rather powerful power fluctuation, taking it down should be able to raise my Saint Soul to a rather terrifying height, right?”
The Sacred Flower Eater was infuriated and once again became angry, making a stance to fight Zhang Ruochen to the death.
Of course, Zhang Ruochen’s words just now were a complete joke, and he did not intend to go and eat the Sacred Flower Eater’s virtual body.
Instead, Zhang Ruochen was still rather looking forward to the Eating Saint Flower being able to blossom for the second time and grow a physical body, and he didn’t know if its physical body would be a male or a female.
The Sacred Eating Flower had absorbed all of the Zotian Blood Saint’s blood qi and power qi, and its cultivation had grown by a large margin again.
It was only a pity that its fruit had not matured, and it was still a little bit short.
“Zhang Ruochen, give me that Sacred Source of yours, I want to condense the fruit to maturity and cultivate a virtual body.”
The Sacred Flower Eater sent out a spiritual energy to Zhang Ruochen, appearing urgent.
Zhang Ruochen did indeed have a Sacred Source, but did not intend to take it out and give it to the Sacred Flower Eater right now.
Today’s Sacred Flower Eater was already quite powerful.
If it was allowed to cultivate into a Void Body, causing the Void Body and the True Body to merge into one, it would definitely increase its strength greatly. What if it backfired on Zhang Ruochen at that time?
Zhang Ruochen had to guard against it and said, ”Sooner or later, I will hand over that Saint Source to you, but not now. Right now, I have more important things to do.”The Sacred Eating Flower tried to resist, but Zhang Ruochen forced it back into his body and suppressed it.
Afterwards, Zhang Ruochen led the crowd and rushed towards the location of the once Dragontop Mountain.
The shattered space in this region had automatically healed and regained its integrity.
However, the Dragontop Mountain had completely disappeared from the ground, leaving behind only a huge crack in the ground, a broken mountain peak, and gushing magma.
“Sovereign, what are we doing here?”Murong Yue asked.
Zhang Ruochen stood at the edge of one of the earth cracks and said, “There is a mysterious force in the Dragon Peak Mountain that makes the spatial structure around it far more solid than other places. In this world, there is no such thing as something without a reason, and this place definitely has its magic. That mysterious force, where exactly did it come from?”
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze was fixed towards the bottom of the earth’s crack.
Afterwards, he took out the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, performed the Sword Cultivation Technique, jumped down to the earth crack, broke through the hard rocks, and rushed towards the depths of the earth.
