In the face of such immense pressure, Qiu Yu’s skin became woody, radiating a reddish-golden light, with a faint Great Sage aura surging out, merging into the Fire God Fist Gloves and Fire God Arm Guards on both arms.
“Wow…” two
large flaming hands, like clouds of fire, manifested above Qiu Yu’s head.
The hand seals struck by the Immovable Bright King Body also blasted down at that moment.
The two large flaming hands that Qiu Yu had condensed failed to withstand that force, and came out with the sound of crumbling, turning into flaming fragments and scattering in all directions.
“Boom.”
Qiu Yu’s body directly withstood the blast from the Immovable King Body and was knocked into the ground, and the surrounding earth, too, sank downwards, and even, a crack appeared even in space.
Obviously, after the collapse of the ninety-nine holy mountains, with the Ancestral Spirit Realm’s current fragile space, it was already difficult to withstand that much power.
Continuing to explode a battle of such magnitude, there was a high possibility that the heavens would truly crumble.
“Zhang Ruochen, I have already fused with Ancestor Qiao’s Great Sacred Tree Body, my body is indestructible, you can’t kill me.”
At the bottom of that collapsing earth, Autumn Rain’s voice came out, followed by the leaves, branches, and trunks of the tree rushing out of the ground, becoming more and more gigantic, all the way breaking through the clouds as if it was reaching into the universe.
Sycamore, the spiritual root of fire.
The behemoth-like Sacred Tree, from afar, looked like a mountain that topped the sky and burned with a blazing flame. That flame, it actually possessed the power of a Pure Extinction divine Flame that was not inferior to the Lower Extinction Level.
The Rakshasa Marquis present, as well as Ah Le, Princess Bai Li, and Han Qiu with those Saints of the Sacred Brightness Central Empire, also retreated into the distance, fearing that they would be caught up in the battle circle.
Because, the battle between Zhang Ruochen and Qiu Yu had already passed the Saint level, and even passed the one-step Saint King, once the great battle exploded, the tattered Ancestral Spirit Realm would not be able to withstand that power, and would most likely be torn apart.
“Kill.”
The Saint Tree that was wrapped in flames, swung over and attacked the Immovable King Body.
With the power of the Great Sage, the Sacred Tree was actually able to suppress Zhang Ruochen for a short period of time, however, Zhang Ruochen soon regained the initiative and used the means of spatial collapse to inflict considerable trauma on the Sacred Tree.
The more fragile the space was, the more powerful Zhang Ruochen displayed his strength.
This was geographical advantage.
In the end, Zhang Ruochen withdrew the Immovable King Body back into his body, mobilised the power of the Qiankun Realm, and slashed his finger towards the trunk of the Sacred Tree, and a spatial crack that was more than a hundred miles long was revealed.
The entire Ancestral Spirit Realm seemed to be torn in half.
“Damn it, in the Ancestral Spirit Realm, Zhang Ruochen’s spatial power is infinitely enhanced, even if I possessed a body at the level of a Great Sage, I’m afraid that I would still be knocked into the void space by him.” Autumn Rain was naturally quite jealous in his heart.
Mastering any of the Eternal Ancient Ways was a cultivator’s greatest treasure, and even a god would be very envious.
In the past, Qiu Yu had been called a “Divine Body” only because he was the revived stump of the Sycamore Divine Tree, which contained a strand of innate Divine Qi in his body and possessed the possibility of growing into a Divine Tree.
His current body, on the other hand, was a solid Great Sage’s body, and it would never be easy for a being who was not yet a Great Sage to kill him.
Zhang Ruochen’s spatial power, however, was able to pose a threat to him, potentially killing him, and this was the terrifying aspect of the Everlasting Way.
“Let me help you.”
Ji Hua once again struck the Holy Staff out and inserted it into the patch of earth between Zhang Ruochen and Qiu Yu, wanting to use the power of the Holy Staff to fix space and limit Zhang Ruochen’s attack power.
Unfortunately, Ji Hua did not know that the reason why she was able to fix space earlier was because the ninety-nine holy mountains had not collapsed, and the spatial structure of that piece of heaven and earth was already very stable.
Moreover, Zhang Ruochen had now mobilised the power of the Qiankun Realm, so with her spiritual power, even if she was able to make the space more stable, she would not be able to suppress Zhang Ruochen.
In the face of the spatial crack that Zhang Ruochen had struck, the Saint Staff was actually trembling violently.
“Not good ……” Ji
Hua’s face, erected.
The spatial crack, which was more than a hundred miles long, did not close, but instead swallowed the holy staff into the void space.
“My …… Stringed Green Sacred Staff ……” Ji
Hua was almost spitting blood from anger, that Stringed Green Sacred Staff was an extremely powerful treasure, able to enhance the power of the Sacred Laws, and also allow her to more quickly carve out high-grade formation inscriptions.
Losing the String Green Sacred Staff, her strength, too, would be greatly reduced.
It would take many more years of accumulating wealth before she could recreate a treasure like the Stringed Green Sacred Staff, so how could Ji Hua not be heartbroken?
The killing intent in her heart became even thicker.
Qiu Yu was quite decisive and hurriedly shrunk his body, causing the huge Sacred Tree to change into a human form again, bursting out in a hurry and avoiding the attack of the spatial rift.
Zhang Ruochen’s degree was even faster than him, directly using Spatial Shift, appearing in front of him, striking out with a palm, with thousands of dragon shadows flying out from his palm.
Qiu Yu also attacked with a palm, clashing hard with Zhang Ruochen.
“Rumble.”
With the two of them as the centre, the earth was torn apart and cracks appeared in the sky.
Because he was able to control the power of space, Zhang Ruochen had a greater advantage in the shattered space.
Forced to do so, Qiu Yu could only retreat backwards.
While he retreated, Zhang Ruochen was advancing, once again striking out move after move of the Dragon and Elephant Palm, with dragon and elephant shadows continuously flying out, comprehensively suppressing Qiu Yu.
“How can it be that easy to fuse Great Sage bodies? I’m afraid that even if you get the inheritance from Ancestor Qiao, it would still take you a long time before you can completely fuse and master the power of the Great Sage Body.”
Zhang Ruochen fought more and more fiercely, beating Qiu Yu without any power to fight back.
After attacking each other hundreds of times in a row, the heavens and earth in a radius of thousands of miles were broken and ragged, with densely-packed earth gullies appearing.
“With a loud bang, Autumn Rain was struck by Zhang Ruochen’s punch, spitting blood from his mouth and flying backwards.
Qiu Yu landed on the ground in a half-kneeling position, however, with his weak character, he surprisingly did not admit defeat and beg for forgiveness, instead, his eyes became even more stern.
“Could it be that he has other cards?” Zhang Ruochen already knew Qiu Yu quite well.
“Zhang Ruochen, are you really my nemesis? Before I met you, in the same realm, it was hard to find a living being who could block one of my moves.” Qiu Yu roared.
Zhang Ruochen was wary as he walked over, a powerful aura emanating from his body as he said, “Since you know that I’m your nemesis, when you encountered me, you should have dodged, so why do you still want to be my enemy?”
“You’re too arrogant, you really think that I can’t defeat you, today, I’m going to defeat you in a dignified manner and step on you forever.”
Qiu Yu stood up boldly, his hands gathered over his head, and in the centre of his eyebrows, a fist-sized ball of light flew out, and a loud roar came out of his mouth, “炑 Fire Copper City.”
That ball of light, rushing high into the sky, transformed into a magnificent flaming red copper city.
Just as the city manifested, a terrifying Great Saint aura spread out with it, filling this heaven and earth.
Even those Saints standing ten thousand miles away felt their Saint Souls tremble, and the Saint Qi in their bodies, somewhat uncontrollable, became disordered.
Only a great saint could have such might.
“Oh no, Qiu Yu has actually obtained Qiao Zu’s strongest Saint Weapon, the Bronze City of Fire.”
The Sacred Book Talented Lady looked into the sky and saw the shadow of the city in the flames, as well as the intimidating Saintly Might, and a strong uneasiness arose in her heart.
The 炑Fire Copper City, although it was not a supreme saint artefact, it was still considered to be the topmost battle weapon under the supreme saint artefacts, with over 100,000 inscriptions within it.
As a mere Saint Artifact, the Saint Book Talent would naturally not be worried. However, from the Saintly Might radiating out from the Copper City of Fire, it could be seen that there must be a large amount of Great Saint power left behind by Ancestor Qiao in the Copper City.
That power, once it exploded out, not many beings under the Great Saints would be able to withstand it.
“Although Zhang Ruochen is able to mobilise the power of the Qiankun Realm, however, with his current physical body, he simply can’t withstand too much power, so the power he can borrow is quite limited. He’s afraid …… that he won’t be able to stop the Fire Copper Hall ……” The Sacred
Book Talented Maiden lightly bit her red lips, and the worry in her eyes became even more intense, if it wasn’t for the fact that she was too far away from the battlefield between Zhang Ruochen and Qiu Yu, even if it was a matter of fighting to the death, she would still have rushed over to help Zhang Ruochen.
In a sense, the enemy that Zhang Ruochen was now facing was no longer Qiu Yu, but Qiao Zu.
Those Great Saints of the Broad Cold Realm were even more nervous to the extreme, and some even let out sighs. They understood the power of the Great Sage level very well, and thus, the more pessimistic they became, feeling that Zhang Ruochen would most likely not be able to survive this time.
Zhang Ruochen also did feel tremendous pressure, his body’s Saint Qi was suppressed, and if he didn’t mobilise the power of the Qiankun Realm, I’m afraid it would be as difficult as heaven if he wanted to move a finger.
“This time, I’m afraid that you must make a move for us to have a way out.” Zhang Ruochen communicated with the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood.
The voice of the Jie Tian Divine Wood came out from the Qiankun Realm, saying, “I can’t leave the Qiankun Realm, so even if I make a move, I might not be able to stop that Copper City. However, if you use the Reverse God Tablet, it is possible to resolve this crisis.”
“Reverse God Tablet?” Zhang Ruochen felt puzzled.
The Reverse God Stele, which was just a remnant stele, was one that he had dug out from the Luo Water and studied for a long time, but he hadn’t been able to work out its magical features.
The voice of the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood, once again sounded, “After my strength increased, I remembered a few things, and among them were memory fragments about the Reverse God Tablet. Those memory fragments are incomparably amazing secrets, and I will slowly tell you in the future. For now, I’ll join forces with you to first activate the Reverse God Tablet and crack the situation at hand.”
……………… Autumn
Rain flew up and stood at the top of the Flame Copper City, saying, “Zhang Ruochen, if you kneel down and beg for forgiveness right now, I would be able to consider letting you live.”
The power of the Great Saints in the Flame Copper City was also very limited and couldn’t be used more than a few times, so Qiu Yu naturally didn’t want to use it now.
Being able to humiliate Zhang Ruochen, but it was more exciting and pleasurable for Qiu Yu than killing Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen took out the Reverse God Tablet from the Qiankun Realm and stood it in front of him.
The remnant of the stele, which was six zhang in height, four zhang in width, and one and a half feet thick, had extremely ancient words written on it. Other than that, there were no other magical features.
Following the instructions of the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood, Zhang Ruochen mobilised the Saint Dao Rules in his body, which had already condensed to the “Most True and Most Extreme” level, and punched them into some of the ancient texts on the stele.
“It must be useful, or else I’ll be dead!” Zhang Ruochen was also a little nervous.
Qiu Yu couldn’t understand Zhang Ruochen’s behaviour, but, was losing Rai Xin, controlling the Flame Copper City and suppressing it towards Zhang Ruochen.
“Boom boom.”
The space of the Ancestral Spirit Realm couldn’t withstand the power that burst out from the Copper City of Fire, and it continuously collapsed, and the scope of the collapse became even wider, spreading ten thousand miles away.
Seeing that the Copper City of Fire was about to press down on Zhang Ruochen’s head, suddenly, all of the Saintly Might contained in the Copper City disappeared, and all of the Great Saint’s power disappeared along with it. Even the inscriptions within the Copper City became fainter and fainter, finally turning invisible.
A battle weapon that was close to a Supreme Saint Artifact had turned into an ordinary copper city, losing its proper power.
Not to mention Qiu Yu, even Zhang Ruochen was very surprised.
“This was caused by the Reverse God Tablet? It’s too terrifying …… “However
, Zhang Ruochen quickly calmed down and condensed a large hand seal, slapping it upwards into the air and knocking the Copper Hall of Fire into the inside of the shattered space.
“Boom boom.”
The holy relic that had previously been incredibly powerful was now turned into copper and iron fragments that crashed into the void space. Only Qiu Yu preserved a life and escaped ahead of time.
“Zhang Ruochen, what exactly is that treasure of yours?”
Qiu Yu was trembling with fear, and her legs couldn’t help but tremble a little.
Just now, the means Zhang Ruochen had unleashed was out of his knowledge.
Earlier, with the Flame Copper City blocking the sky above, those cultivators from the Celestial Court Realm were simply unable to see the Reverse God Monument through the battlefield mirror image. By the time they flew away, Zhang Ruochen had already put away the Inverted God Monument.
As a result, no one knew what had happened except for Qiu Yu and Zhang Ruochen, who all assumed that Zhang Ruochen had fought and flown the Copper City of Patchfire with his own power.
“Zhang Ruochen’s body holds a rank undercard, once it explodes, no one under a Great Sage will be able to defeat him.” Many of those cultivators from the Celestial Court Realm gave birth to such a wrong thought, and it was obvious that they were also shocked.
