Zhang Ruochen stepped out of the Star Mangled Sacred Vehicle, leaving the Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden alone in the vehicle.
Miraculously, after Zhang Ruochen released the Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden from the Secret Code of Time and Space, she didn’t even strike out to attack, but instead, she was a bit bewildered and disorientated, and fell to the ground.
Zhang Ruochen’s words had impacted her too much, over the humiliation she had just received.
“You simply don’t dare to burn with me because you value your life, because you think that you are smart, and that as long as you hold back now, you will definitely be able to take revenge in the future.”
……
“Now I say that you have a defective state of mind, encountering a truly great calamity may not dare to rise to the challenge, even though you die, you also fight, do you recognise it?”
……
“Do you recognise?”
……
“Do you recognise?”
……
The Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden only felt like there were billions of voices ringing in her head, asking her repeatedly, shocking her Saint Soul, making her unable to get up from the ground, her delicate body trembling.
Ever since she was born, she was the most outstanding among her peers, and everyone said that she was unrivalled in the world, and that in the future, she would definitely be able to prove the Divine Dao and take over the Heavenly Lord’s throne.
But all of this was overturned. It was as if she was in a beautiful dream and was slapped back to reality.
Such a blow gave her a feeling of falling from the clouds into the abyss.
Zhang Ruochen had just stepped off the Star Mangled Sacred Vehicle, and immediately, there were countless pairs of gazes, staring at him.
Some of these gazes also contained anger and carried killing intent.
This caused Zhang Ruochen to be startled, thinking that the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden had already proclaimed his true identity by means of a voice transmission.
“She really has no scruples at all?”
With that, Zhang Ruochen reached out and cupped the Space-Time Mysterious Codex, preparing to use its power to perform a Spatial Shift to escape from this place at the fastest possible speed.
The bewitching woman beside the Sorcerer God Heavenly Prince walked up to meet him, an odd smile in her eyes as she slightly arched her hand and said, “Sir Lin, you finally got off the bus, all the Highnesses are waiting for you in front, please follow me.”
Zhang Ruochen said vigilantly, “Where to?”
The demonic woman said, “We have arrived at the third spatial barrier of the Folding Space, but Master Pu Shan and Master Qiu Bone, who spent half an hour, were unable to break through the barrier. Therefore, Your Highnesses are waiting for you, hoping that Mr Lin will have a way to break the barriers open.”
Zhang Ruochen looked around carefully and realised that this place had long since ceased to be the place where he had boarded the train earlier.
In front of him, roughly two hundred or so feet away, a dim and hazy landscape with a thick layer of Chaos Space Thick Wall blocked in front of the crowd.
It could be vaguely seen that behind the thick wall of chaotic space was an even more expansive world, where an ancient sacred giant mountain towered like the ancient great wilderness.
It seemed that while he and the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden were exchanging blows in the vehicle, the Star Mantle Sacred Vehicle had been travelling forward.
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze looked around and said, “I’m curious, why are so many people suddenly hostile towards me?”
The demonic woman’s jade finger gently covered her mouth as she smiled cheekily, “They should be jealous, Sir Lin don’t need to pay any attention to them, you’re the person beside Her Highness the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden, they wouldn’t dare to do anything to you.”
“Jealous?”
Zhang Ruochen still had some difficulty understanding.
Being at the Saint King level, the jealousy of these cultivators was a little too strong.
It wasn’t just that the Heavenly Primordial Fairy wanted to see him, it wasn’t just that he had boarded the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden’s Holy Vehicle, these cultivators, they were also too glassy-eyed.
“There are indeed a lot of jealous eyes, eyes so jealous that they are all bloodshot.”
Zhang Ruochen’s heart lightened as he came to this conclusion after careful observation.
As long as his identity was not exposed, he was fearless no matter how jealous these cultivators were.
Zhang Ruochen regained his composure and calmness and said, “Let’s go! Take me to meet your Highnesses.”
Following the demonic woman forward, Zhang Ruochen heard the sound of many cultivators grinding their teeth and some others whispering.
“See, this bastard’s clothes have changed, now you guys believe it, right?”
“I can smell a trace of the scent belonging to Her Highness the Heavenly Maiden on his body.”
“Oi! Heavens, my Heavenly Maiden Highness is such a holy fairy …… how could …… I can’t accept this fact ……”
……
Zhang Ruochen’s frown grew tighter and tighter.
The reason why he had changed his clothes was because, when he had fought with the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden, his original robes had been torn to shreds and stuck with holy blood.
What were they thinking?
After hearing some more gossip, which also included the word “Car Shock”, Zhang Ruochen soon came to a sudden realisation and understood, and couldn’t help but have a stunned look on his face.
“No way, these people’s imaginations are really great!”
No wonder there were so many cultivators who were so jealous that their eyes were red. If Zhang Ruochen was a spectator, and the protagonists of the “Car Shock” were the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden and another man, he would probably be envious and jealous as well.
Not to mention, there were definitely many cultivators present who adored the Thousand Star Celestial Mistress or were her suitors. For them, this “car quake” was too cruel! In the past half hour, they must have felt as if their hearts were being twisted by knives, and they even had the heart to kill Zhang Ruochen by a thousand knives.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t care, but in his heart, he wondered what kind of expression the Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden would have if she knew about it.
After Zhang Ruochen met with the Highnesses of the Ancient Civilisation Faction, those Highnesses, all of them, revealed strange looks.
Originally, they were not at all convinced that the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden would blatantly carouse with Lin Yue, but looking at the way Lin Yue had changed into a robe and was still springing to life, they were all half-convinced all of a sudden.
The Great Zun let out a laugh and asked out a meaningful question, “Lin Yue, is the Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden alright?”
Since everyone had already misunderstood, Zhang Ruochen naturally didn’t mind, making the misunderstanding deeper.
Because, this misunderstanding would do him more good than harm.
Zhang Ruochen purposely made an awkward expression and said, “Ahem, Her Highness the Heavenly Maiden’s cultivation is profound …… Nothing will happen …… Well, take a rest and she should get off.”
The eyes of all the high and mighty Highnesses that looked at Zhang Ruochen became a little different.
Even the majestic and overbearing Great Exalt was much closer to him.
Previously, he was just an invited space cultivator, but now, he was the man of the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden, half-stepping into the core layer of their faction.
The two were different concepts.
The Sorcerer God Celestial Son said, “Brother Lin should also be able to tell that this murderous and dangerous land is located inside a folded space, and only by shattering the spatial barriers can the hidden space be opened further.”
“The spatial barriers have already been shattered two layers, and the space that opens up is the palace complex that we walked through earlier.”
“The spatial barriers are stronger layer by layer. The first layer only requires the strength of a four-step Saint King realm to break through. The second layer requires the power of a nine-step Saint King to breach it.”
“For the third layer of the spatial barrier, we used all sorts of methods and even used a broken Supreme Saint Artifact to invoke a Supreme Power, but we were unable to breach it. We guessed that only the power of a Great Saint could break it open.”
“However, with their ingenious means, space cultivators say that they may not necessarily be able to use the power of the spatial way to break through the third layer of the spatial barrier.”
Right now, they could only place their hopes, on the six space cultivators.
If even the six space cultivators were unable to break through the barriers, they could only exit this place immediately even if they were no longer willing. Among them, for the Heavenly Primordial Immortal and the Witch God Heavenly Son, who were in extreme need of the Divine Spring, that was the last result they wished to see.
Zhang Ruochen walked towards the spatial barrier.
In front of him, Gu Feng, Pu Shan, Li Qing Hai, Qiu Bone, and Devil Little Mushroom all used their own means to launch spatial attacks, which landed on top of the thick spatial barrier and made “bang bang” sounds.
Li Qinghai held a crescent shaped space blade, gathered strength and slashed out, then a space crack appeared and fell on top of the space barrier.
However, the spatial barrier was extremely thick, and before the crack could penetrate it, it was reclosed by the barrier’s power buildup.
What Pu Shan used was, a palm-sized golden cymbal.
“Wow…”
The golden cymbal flew out and kept spinning, becoming even more massive than a millstone, as if it had transformed into a golden flying saucer, and crashed into the top of the spatial barrier with a rumble. However, it merely crashed out a circle of ripples.
Vengeful Bone and Devil Little Mushroom each used their own means, but the commotion caused was much smaller than Li Qinghai and Pu Shan.
The most powerful than Gu Feng, this person’s palm, has an extremely powerful spatial branding, activated at full power, a palm blast out, actually hit the spatial barrier tens of feet above the area are in a huge trembling, out of the “creaking” sound.
Now, all the cultivators felt that Lin Yue’s spatial attainments were above his, and Gu Feng naturally wanted to do his best to prove himself.
Unfortunately, the third layer of the spatial barrier was not only strong, but also had the ability to heal itself, and Gu Feng’s palm air blast could only cause a certain degree of damage to the barrier.
By the time he gathered his strength and struck the second blow, all that damage was repaired again.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen appear, Li Qinghai immediately put away his Spatial Blade and came towards him sweating profusely, panting, “This layer of Spatial Barrier is too strong, the five of us couldn’t break it even with all our might, Brother Lin, do you have a way to break it?”
Gu Feng, Qiu Bone, Mushroom Little Mushroom, and Pu Shan all retreated as well, the Saint Qi in their bodies was so depleted that it was difficult to continue supporting them.
Gu Feng snorted coldly, “With the toughness of this spatial barrier, how could he break through it? I’m afraid that even if Gongzi Yan makes a move, he will have to return home in defeat. Only a Great Sage level figure, who is in charge of a Supreme Sacred Artifact, might be able to forcefully break through it with the power of a Supreme Sacred Artifact.”
Zhang Ruochen ignored Gu Feng and slowly walked towards the spatial barrier, extending one palm forward and gently pressing it as if he was pressing inside a thick layer of cotton.
The more he pressed downwards, the blocking force became stronger and stronger, and finally transformed into a rebounding force that shook Zhang Ruochen’s body like a leaf flying backwards.
“Hmph.”Gu Feng laughed out.
In the distance, the Highnesses of the Ancient Civilisation Faction all frowned tightly with a look of extreme disappointment in their eyes…?Was it really impossible to break through the third layer of barriers and could only withdraw?
Zhang Ruochen landed smoothly on the ground, his finger stroked his chin, and said slowly, “Although I cannot break through this layer of the spatial barrier, it shouldn’t be difficult for me to open up a path on top of the spatial barrier.”
