After his injuries healed, Zhang Ruochen took out the True Myriad Sacred Fruit and swallowed it.
“Boom.”
The energy contained in the True Myriad Sacred Fruit was many times more powerful than the Heart Moon Sacred Fruit. Just as it entered his throat, the fierce power of the Saint Fruit surged violently within his body, like a tidal wave, impacting the meridians, Saint Veins, and internal organs.
Zhang Ruochen’s meridians and Sacred Veins all bulged up like dozens of dragons buried under his skin, radiating purple Sacred Light.
The grains of light from the True Myriad Sacred Fruit transformed into earthworm-like rules of the Holy Dao, which crazily surged into the Qi Sea and merged into the Tongtian River, causing the Tongtian River to become wider and wider.
Another purple stream of air, entering the Saint Source, was actually cleansing the Saint Soul.
At the same time, there were two other streams of energy that exploded out, integrating into the flesh and the Sacred Heart respectively.
With every split second, Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual energy strengthened, as if it was being forged in flames, becoming tougher and stronger.
Zhang Ruochen sat cross-legged on the ground, and as the gong method operated, even the Immovable Ming Wang Body appeared, reaching a height of more than ten zhang, resembling a majestic divine shadow that shocked the rotting corpses outside the Taoist temple into silence.
Gradually, Zhang Ruochen completely absorbed the energy of the True Myriad Sacred Fruit.
“In the Tongtian River, the number of Sacred Dao rules reached 20,032, the meridians and Sacred Veins have expanded by a quarter, and the strength of the Spiritual Force and Sacred Souls have also increased greatly.”
Zhang Ruochen’s skin was a purplish-golden colour with a metallic sheen on it.
With a gentle lift of his arm, the bones rubbed against each other with a thunderous sound, and without using any Saint Art, he punched out through the air, sending a rotting corpse outside the Taoist temple, flying several feet away, the corpse in pieces.
Xiang Chunan’s large black face came over and asked, “How was it?”
“Not bad.”
Zhang Ruochen revealed a smile, collected the purple-gold splendour on his body, stood up, and said, “Let’s go, activate the teleportation array and try it out.”
The two of them, one Chi, entered the teleportation array.
Zhang Ruochen’s expression, became serious and prudent, first releasing his Spatial Domain to cover the entire Teleportation Formation, just in case there were any accidents during the teleportation process.
It was immediately followed by mobilising the Saint Qi in his body and injecting it into every node of the Teleportation Formation.
This place was most likely an area where reality and nothingness coexisted, using the teleportation array, one might not be able to teleport out, and in case something happened during the teleportation, it would be a rather frightening thing.
One must be prepared for everything.
“Wow–”
The Spatial Teleportation Array floated out in a circle of piercing light, and Zhang Ruochen and the others disappeared into the Taoist Temple.
During the teleportation process, cultivators could not perceive all the fluctuations outside the formation. However, as a Space Controller, Zhang Ruochen knew that during the teleportation, they had actually entered Void Space.
In the Void Space, there were nodes connecting to the coordinates of another space.
This time, it was a one-way teleportation, and the spatial coordinate that Zhang Ruochen had chosen was the exit location of the cave that entered the forbidden zone. On his way here, he had calculated the bearing and distance between the two and still had a certain degree of certainty.
“Rumble.”
Suddenly, the light patterns of the formation under his feet shook violently.
Xiang Chunan was a little nervous and asked, “What happened?”
Zhang Ruochen’s face was grave as he said, “It’s like it hit on top of some blocking object, how could this happen? Inside the Void Space, something like this shouldn’t have happened.”
The Tongling Sacred Chi was frightened and said, “This is a forbidden area, even if we use spatial power, it’s impossible to come and go as we please. We’d better hurry back, even if we’re trapped inside, we’ll at least be able to save our lives. In case the light pattern of the formation under our feet shatters, we will all fall into void space and die without a burial place.”
“Rumble.”
The formation light pattern trembled violently once again.
Moreover, there was also a strong and boundless aura that appeared above their heads, causing both Xiang Chunan and Tong Ling Sacred Chi to change their faces violently.
Xiang Chunan stared upwards as two beams of light flew out from the pupils of his eyes. He looked as if he had seen some terrifyingly terrifying image, and said in a trembling voice, “A lofty mountain in the shape of a hand …… is suspended above our heads …… It’s too terrifying……”
“How is that possible? It’s impossible for there to be any matter inside the void space.”
Zhang Ruochen was a bit unconvinced and reached out his two hands, peeling away the curtain of light that was blocking his eyes and raising his head to look upwards, he immediately sucked in a breath of cool air and said, “That is ……”
Suspended above their heads was not some giant mountain, but a broken hand, a broken hand as huge as a mountain, suspended in the void of space for a long time.
“That’s the palm of a god or goddess.”Zhang Ruochen held his breath and could only hear his rapid heartbeat.
That was an aura that only gods possessed, Zhang Ruochen was certain of it.
That divine hand, which was simply too huge, tens of thousands of times more massive than a normal mountain, was suspended thousands of miles away above their heads, appearing extremely shocking. The aura that radiated out from it was much more terrifying than the aura of the divine corpses that Zhang Ruochen had once seen.
From the God’s hand, strands of air flowed out, and each strand of air flow was like a waterfall dropping downwards, forming one gaseous “waterfall” after another.
The light patterns of the formation were blocked by one of the gaseous “waterfalls” and could not be transmitted further.
Tongling Sacred Cheese clenched his teeth, his tongue moving as he cautiously said, “Can we still go back?”
Xiang Chunan looked around, a look of despair appeared on his face as he said, “I’m afraid we can’t go back, there are gaseous waterfalls in all directions, blocking our way forward and sealing our way back.”
“Boom.”
The light pattern of the formation under their feet was struck by a gaseous current and shattered open.
“Ah …… dead …… senior sister ……”
“Wonderful, wonderful, poor Taoist doesn’t want to die yet ……”
Xiang Chunan and Tongling Sacred Chi both closed their eyes as miserable screams came out of their mouths.
They thought that their bodies would immediately be torn apart by the void space and turn into nothingness as well.
After a long time, Xiang Chunan and Tong Ling Sacred Chi opened their eyes one after another and were surprised to see that they hadn’t died, but instead were standing suspended inside the void space.
Tongling Sage Chi looked at his hands and laughed maniacally, “Haha, the Poor Taoist is indeed of heavenly cultivation, and even inside the void space, he is still able to jump around. Who else can kill me?”
“Void space doesn’t seem to be as dangerous as the legends.”Xiang Chunan laughed along with him.
Zhang Ruochen’s voice, which travelled into their ears, said, “You are now inside my spatial domain, so you’d better not move around, once you’re out of the spatial domain’s range, I won’t be able to save you either.”
Tongling Sacred Chi and Xiang Chunan were both startled and hurriedly jumped onto Zhang Ruochen’s body, holding him tightly.
A spatial domain was like a small space that could be suspended in nothingness. Of course, with Zhang Ruochen’s current cultivation level, the spatial domain he cultivated was still fragile, and it would crumble at the slightest impact.
Zhang Ruochen strained his spirit, manipulating the spatial domain and continuously performing spatial shifts as he continued to rush towards the coordinates he had set at the very beginning.
When they encountered the gaseous “waterfall”, Xiang Chunan and Tong Ling Sacred Cheese mobilised their Metal Demon Crowns, invoking a Supreme Power to forcefully tear out a gap.
As he stayed longer in the void space, Zhang Ruochen finally felt the power of nothingness devouring his spatial domain.
The spatial domain became smaller and smaller.
“Hurry, hurry, hurry.”
Zhang Ruochen rushed forward with all his might, sweat rolling downwards like rain, and finally, a speck of light appeared in the pitch-black void space.
At the last moment, seeing that the power of nothingness was about to completely engulf Zhang Ruochen’s spatial domain, Zhang Ruochen violently slammed into that particle of light.
“Wow.”
Zhang Ruochen, Xiang Chunan, and Tong Ling Sacred Cheese disappeared into the void space, and with a heavenly rotation, they appeared into another dark and boundless world, their bodies plummeting downwards in a hurry.
“Boom boom.”
They crashed to the ground one after another, falling dizzy.
The Tongling Sacred Cheese was crushed at the bottom and didn’t scream miserably, instead, a loud laugh came out of his mouth, “Wonderful, wonderful, finally escaped from inside the Void Space, it feels so good to fall solidly.”
Zhang Ruochen stood up and stepped on the hard ground, a smile also appeared on his face.
“Aren’t you guys a little too happy too soon?”
In the darkness, a cold voice rang out.
“Giggle.”
A pair of scarlet-red feathered wings appeared, hovering dozens of feet away, and, slowly moved towards them.
Zhang Ruochen looked around, this was exactly where the exit of that cave in the forbidden zone was located, and in the distance, the scarlet feathered wings were radiating extremely strong Saint Dao fluctuations, and there were light footsteps sounding out.
“The cultivation level is very strong.”
Zhang Ruochen put away his smile as he carried his right arm behind his back and condensed a spatial crack in his palm.
Xiang Chunan, who possessed Thousand Mile Eyes and could see more clearly than Zhang Ruochen, roared out, “So it’s you bird man, you’re somewhat capable, you even escaped from that palace complex.”
Gradually, the four-winged scarlet angel, Sinful Battle, appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s field of vision.
In the palace complex, Sinful Battle had clashed with Xiang Chunan and knew that this black rascal was very strong.
However, Sin Battle still had some unplayed cards on him and had full certainty in his heart that he would suppress Xiang Chunan, which was why he walked out without slowing down.
When Sinful Battle saw the Tongling Sacred Cheese standing beside Zhang Ruochen, a delighted yet greedy light appeared in his blood-red eyes, and in a commanding tone, he said, “Give me the Tongling Sacred Cheese.”
The massive Saint Might on the Sinister Warrior’s body did not deter Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen said to the Tongling Sacred Cheese, “Go! There should be no need for me to teach you what to do?”
With half of the Saint Soul being held in Zhang Ruochen’s hands, the Tongling Saint Chi had no right to resist at all, and only after letting out a long sigh did she hold her chest out and walk over to the Sinful War.
Seeing such a bizarre scene, it in turn made Sinful Battle a little apprehensive and said, “Stop.”
“What for?”
Tongling Sacred Cheese asked with a straight face, her voice even louder than Sin War’s, and continued to walk forward.
The more Sins War saw, the more wrong it became, lifting up the blood-red Saint Sword in his hand, the stern sword qi, flew out from the sword, and once again said, “Stop immediately.”
Tongling Sacred Chi stopped and said with some impatience, “It was you who wanted Poor Tao, and now you don’t want it. Why are you so fickle?”
Sinful Battle sensed an aura of danger in Tong Ling Sacred Chi’s body, and after a moment of contemplation, he took out a Binding Sacred Lock, and with a flick of his wrist, he flung the Binding Sacred Lock out, wrapping it around towards Tong Ling Sacred Chi.
“Moving Mountain Seal.”
Two streams of violet qi surged out of the two sleeves of the Tongling Sacred Chi, converging into a violet cloud. Tens of thousands of Saint Dao rules flew out from its palms and fused with the purple cloud, and then a seal was formed and blasted towards Sin Battle.
Sins Battle’s face changed violently, immediately throwing away the Binding Saint Lock, gripping the hilt of his sword with both hands, and swinging his sword forwards.
“Boom.”
Just as soon as they exchanged blows, the Sinful Battle was blasted out by the seal struck by the Tongling Sacred Cheese, and there was a piece of scarlet feather that was knocked down.
“Wow…”
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Ruochen’s arm flung out, and the spatial rift in his hand formed a beautiful arc as it flew towards the Sinister Battle.
