When Ling Feiyu saw Zhang Ruochen staring at her with a smile, her heart became even more apprehensive.
It was a very strange feeling, that is, she hoped that Zhang Ruochen had already fused the memories of his seventh life, but she was also a little unsure of how to deal with it. After all, before entering the Seven Lives and Seven Deaths Diagram, Ling Feiyu and Zhang Ruochen did not have any male-female feelings to speak of.
After seven lives of entanglement, the emotions of the two of them, however, had become extremely complicated.
At this moment, Ling Fei Yu was just like when he had just walked out of the Seven Lives and Seven Deaths Diagram, his heart fluctuating more strongly than ever before, but he still had to put on a calm and collected appearance. The man standing on the opposite side of the room had been her guide, her teacher, her best friend, her lover, and even her husband who would live to a ripe old age.
Seven lives and seven lifetimes, although everything was illusory, those memories and experiences were all clearly presented in her mind.
Ling Fei Yu’s eyes revealed a look of death and asked, “You’ve already fused the memories of the seventh life?”
Zhang Ruochen, who had been observing her, smiled and said, “No.”
Ling Fei Yu’s eyes changed extremely wonderfully, first slightly stunned, then gradually becoming cold and chilly, and finally with both some regret and even more anger, she chortled, “Then what were you staring at me for so long?”
Zhang Ruochen rubbed the tip of his nose, feeling somewhat innocent, it wasn’t just staring at her for a couple of more moments, moreover, he thought that his eyes were very clean, without a hint of evil thoughts.
What’s the need to be so angry?
Ling Xiu once again transmitted his voice to them, “Hurry up and come in.”
Ling Fei Yu glared at Zhang Ruochen and let out a light snort, then, he took the first step towards the middle of the Demon Hall.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head with a smile and immediately chased after him.
The Devil Temple was quite lofty, like a prehistoric beast entrenched there, and when they walked below the gate, they could feel a massive might coming over them.
The duo walked into into the temple.
Only to see that at the centre of the temple, there was a circular formation diagram inscribed.
The formation diagram, which was divided into five zones, corresponded to the five elements of heaven and earth.
The Water Spirit Origin and the Gold Spirit Origin were transformed into two rivers, one black and one gold, which flowed between the two zones, shuttling constantly.
The two rivers, one black and one gold, were filled with threads of blood as thin as silk, as if they were blood veins within the human body, emitting an incomparably large divine aura.
“It really is fused with the divine blood.” Zhang Ruochen secretly said.
Ling Xiu stood at the very top of the Demon Hall and said, “Zhang Ruochen, are you willing to help Fei Yu cultivate the Pseudo Five Elements Chaotic Body?”
“Of course I am willing.”
“Think clearly, don’t enter the Five Elements Formation and hesitate.”
“Think clearly already.”
With Zhang Ruochen’s friendship with Ling Fei Yu that had crossed over time and time again, there was simply no reason for him to refuse.
A look of satisfaction appeared on Ling Xiu’s face as he smiled, “Good, next, do as I command. You first enter the Five Elements Formation and use your Five Elements Chaotic Body to catalyse the formation.”
Zhang Ruochen made a life-long leap and landed in the centre of the Five Elements Formation, the 144 orifices of his entire body opened up, and a large amount of holy qi gushed out and was injected into the formation.
“Wow…”
a single inscription in the Five
Elements Formation, all of them radiating holy light.
Ling Xiu’s voice came into Zhang Ruochen’s ears, “Use the blood in your body to make the Five Elements Formation work.”
Zhang Ruochen directly slit the wrists of both hands, and then the holy blood in his veins spilled out, falling drop by drop into the formation and fusing with those inscription patterns.
The Five Elements Formation slowly operated, and the power of the five elements filled the inside of the formation, transforming into a colourful and dense cloud of Qi.
Ling Fei Yu also walked into into the Five Elements Formation and came across to Zhang Ruochen, stretching out a pair of snow-white jade hands, and Zhang Ruochen’s palms facing each other, and the two of them slowly sat down on their knees.
“Wow.”
Although the Sacred Blood continued to spill out from Zhang Ruochen’s wrists, the black and golden rivers that filled the Five Elements Formation poured into Zhang Ruochen’s body from one hundred and forty-four orifices.
The divine blood replenished the blood loss in Zhang Ruochen’s body.
The Water Spirit Origin and Gold Spirit Origin were running in Zhang Ruochen’s body, continuously integrating into his body, and as more and more accumulated, Zhang Ruochen finally could not bear it. He mobilised the Water Spirit Origin and Gold Spirit Origin to gush out from the fourteen orifices in his palms and punch them into Ling Fei Yu’s palms.
Gradually, while the Water Spirit Origin and Gold Spirit Origin surged into Zhang Ruochen’s body, they formed a cyclic circumference within his and Ling Fei Yu’s bodies.
As time passed, in the Five Elements Formation, the golden rivers and black rivers became thinner and thinner, and finally merged completely into their bodies.
Zhang Ruochen’s body was radiating a five-coloured light, and his body was as if it was carved out of crystal clear colourful stones.
Ling Fei Yu’s body, too, was multicoloured, but the light that radiated out was much dimmer.
A whole day and night passed before Zhang Ruochen and Ling Fei Yu completely absorbed the Water Spirit Origin, Gold Spirit Origin, and Divine Blood, and both of their fleshly physiques had a huge transformation.
Zhang Ruochen’s deformation was mainly an increase in his physical realm, every drop of blood in his body contained a huge amount of energy, and the sound of wind and thunder would emanate from his arms when he moved them casually.
Ling Fei Yu’s Degeneration, however, was mainly a change in his physique.
“Although I haven’t cultivated into a pseudo Five Elements Chaotic Body, it’s a lot more powerful than the previous Four Spirit Treasure Body. After all, it’s having reached the Saint King realm, it’s too hard and too difficult to reshape your physique.” Ling Feiyu said.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Your current physique is already very close to the Pseudo Five Elements Chaotic Body, and it is only a matter of time before you break through the final step.” ?
“What about you? After absorbing so much divine blood, to what extent has the strength of your physical body grown?” Ling Fei Yu asked.
Zhang Ruochen used his spiritual power to check, and now, the one hundred and forty-four orifices throughout his body seemed to be transformed into a power source pool, storing a thick power.
It was not easy to judge just how strong the physical body strength was.
“Can you receive a punch from me?” Zhang Ruochen said.
Ling Feiyu glared at him with some displeasure, this guy, actually wanted her to help him test his fleshly body strength, it was quite a beautiful thought.
Zhang Ruochen smiled and added, “What, don’t dare?”
“Old-fashioned provocation.” Ling Feiyu said.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “Are you willing or not?”
Ling Fei Yu stood up, her tall and delicate body standing proudly, full of heroic vigour, revealing a “let your horse come over” look at Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen moved his arms, his bones crackled and popped, and his one hundred and forty-four Sacred Acupoints radiated a brilliant light, and before he could strike, an aura like that of an ancient beast exploded out.
“His power, it shouldn’t be weak.”
Ling Fei Yu made this judgement and thus became a little more cautious.
In the next moment, Zhang Ruochen’s legs parted to form a bow stance, and with a loud roar from his mouth, he went all out to slam his fist at Ling Fei Yu.
“Strong indeed.”
Ling Fei Yu’s eyes became sharp as he stretched out a palm, a swirling mass of wind energy that flowed in the centre of his palm as he met the attack.
“Rumble.”
Zhang Ruochen’s punch was as if he had blasted on top of an iron mountain, and his body slid backwards, skidding all the way to the entrance of the Demon Hall before coming to a stop.
Ling Fei Yu’s body swayed gently, and surprisingly, he also took a small half step back.
A look of disbelief appeared in Ling Fei Yu’s eyes as he said, “You only used physical strength just now?”
“That’s right.”
“What a perverted fellow.” Ling Fei Yu said.
One must know that Ling Fei Yu’s cultivation level was several realms higher than Zhang Ruochen’s, and even if she didn’t use her sword, she was still a first tier powerhouse amongst the Three Step Saint Kings.
Although it was said that she hadn’t used her full strength just now, Zhang Ruochen was able to shock her back by a small half-step by using only his physical strength, which was something that could only be done by at least a second-step Saint King.
If he were to mobilise his Saint Force again and execute Saint Art level palms and punches, the power that exploded out would only be even more powerful.
To be this strong at the realm of a half-step Saint King, what was it if not a pervert?
Zhang Ruochen also had a rough judgement of his own power, and laughed, “It seems that my physical body realm has already come to the front of the Sacred Dao realm.”
Ling Fei Yu was worried about Zhang Ruochen’s complacency, so, he reminded, “The universe is vast, and the Celestial Court Realm is even more talented, and among the half-step Saint Kings on the Saints’ Merits and Virtues Ranking, there are surely some heaven-defying beings whose fleshly bodies are just as powerful as yours.”
Zhang Ruochen shrugged his shoulders, appearing unconcerned, only if he cultivated each realm to the extreme and had no weaknesses or breaks, so what if other beings were even stronger?
“May I ask Senior Ling Xiu, how many drops of divine blood did the latecomer absorb in total just now? How much should it be when converted into Sacred Stones?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Ling Xiu smiled and did not answer.
After all, Zhang Ruochen had also helped Ling Fei Yu a great deal, so how could Ling Xiu really take his Saint Stones?
Ling Fei Yu, however, was not polite at all and said, “Since you are so wealthy, it just so happens that I also need a large amount of Sacred Stones to purchase Five Elemental Class Sacred Pills. How about this, just give me five million Saint Stones.”
Zhang Ruochen stared deeply at her and said, “You really dare to ask, thinking that I’m an ingrate?”
“It’s you who wants to be an ingrate, it has nothing to do with me.”
Ling Feiye paused, then added, “Since Empress Chi Yao has already distributed the divine blood to the Riku Sacred Domain, then that divine blood belongs to the Riku Sacred Domain and no longer belongs to her. However, you can’t get past her hurdle in your own heart, so of course I’m going to rip you off.”
This hurdle, how could it be so easy to pass?
Just like back then, when Chi Yao couldn’t pass Zhang Ruochen’s hurdle, she had never been able to become a god.
Zhang Ruochen took out five million Sacred Stones and gave them to Ling Fei Yu.
When he received the five million holy stones, Ling Fei Yu did not have a trace of joy, but instead let out a ghostly sigh.
Immediately after, Zhang Ruochen took out the Yi Emperor Bone Scepter and the Buddha Emperor’s Relic and told Ling Xiu what he had in mind, hoping to get Ling Xiu’s help.
Ling Xiu received the Yi Emperor Bone Scepter and the Buddha Emperor Relic, carefully observed them, and laughed, ”This is not difficult! The power of the Buddha Emperor Relic is just enough to suppress evil spirits. Moreover, there is a Divine Martial Seal in the centre of one’s eyebrow, which is supposed to be a hub connecting the outside world and the Qi Sea, so just set it in and carve out some inscriptions. Anyway, it should be simple.”
A thing that was a breeze for the Spiritual Power Great Sage was as difficult as heaven for Zhang Ruochen, such was the disparity.
It seemed really simple, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Ling Xiu had set the Buddha Emperor’s relic into the centre of the brow of Emperor Yi’s Bone Staff, and had inscribed some extremely profound inscription patterns on the relic.
One of the lines on the bone staff all turned golden, appearing to be both sacred and evil at the same time, the two conflicting forces blending perfectly into one.
Zhang Ruochen grasped the Yi Emperor Bone Staff and smiled in satisfaction.
Having been slaughtered by Ling Fei Yu for five million Saint Stones, Zhang Ruochen was still hurting, thus, he was prepared to beg Ling Xiu to do one more thing for him.
Thus, Zhang Ruochen took out the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword and the Purple Divine Stone and said, “Senior Ling Xiu, I wonder if you can help me set this Divine Stone, on top of the sword body?”
Knowing that the purple divine stone was able to drastically increase a cultivator’s power, Zhang Ruochen had long wanted to set it on top of the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword.
Ling Fei Yu was a bit unable to look on and said, “Zhang Ruochen, are you finished or not? Do you know what the price is for hiring a Great Sage of Spirituality to do an errand? How about you add another five million Saint Stones?”
“Huh!”
Ling Xiu revealed a strange expression as he stretched out his finger and twisted the purple divine stone in Zhang Ruochen’s hand, observing it carefully.
