Zhang Ruochen stared at the white bone staff in the hands of the Divine Wreckage Dharma King and said suspiciously, “It’s also a Half-Saint staff? Evil Wood Palace, how could there be two Half-Saint Staffs?”
That one staff had clashed hard with the holy sword and actually did not get damaged, thus showing the strength of the power it contained, which only a half-saint staff could do.
“The ancestor of the Evil Wood Palace, originally left behind two Half-Saint Staffs, one of which, was personally carved by the ancestor from Purple Cloud Sunken Fragrance Wood, and infused holy power within it. At the same time, subtle and complex inscriptions were also carved into the wooden layer of the staff.”
“The other one was made from the Ancestor’s spine and refined. Later on, it was enchanted with the mana of the successive generations of Evil Wood Palace Masters, and it was even more powerful, than the first one. Of course, it is also this one in my hand.”
The Divine Wreckage Dharma King kept stroking the white bone staff in his hand, filled with awe.
Suddenly, the smile in his eyes withdrew and a cold colour appeared in his pupils as he took a step forward without warning and attacked Zhang Ruochen again.
Although Divine Wreckage Dharma King cultivated magical power, he had already cultivated to the Fish Dragon’s Second Transformation “Refining Skin into Gold”, and he had even cultivated into a Wood Spirit Treasure Body.
Therefore, his physical body was actually quite powerful.
Plus, he had the Half-Saint Staff in his hand, so he naturally dared to fight Zhang Ruochen at close range.
“Wow!”
The Half-Saint Dharma Staff only swayed slightly, stirring the surrounding heaven and earth aura, like a fierce wind and waves, sending a huge stone on the ground flying.
In the first strike exchange, Zhang Ruochen had suffered a small loss.
Now, naturally, Zhang Ruochen no longer touched hard with the Divine Wreckage Dharma King and immediately unfolded his stance and rushed towards the top of the mountain, preparing to lure the Divine Wreckage Dharma King inside that corner of the Sacred Formation.
“Still want to escape?”
The Divine Wreckage Dharma King snorted coldly with a murderous look and chased after him without even thinking.
It had to be said that Divine Wreckage Dharma King’s speed was indeed much faster than Zhang Ruochen’s.
In an instant, he chased after Zhang Ruochen and leapt forward, once again getting a few points closer, swinging his Half-Saint Staff to strike down.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t even need to turn back, he could already feel the destructive force that was used from behind.
Seeing that Zhang Ruochen actually didn’t stop to resist his attack, the Divine Wreckage Dharma King smiled in his heart, feeling that he would be able to end the battle right away and kill Zhang Ruochen under the Half-Saint Dharma Staff.
“Boom!”
The ground shook.
The Devil Ape rushed out from the ground and struck the Divine Wreckage Dharma King’s chest.
Last time, Zhang Ruochen and the Devil Ape, had used this move to kill the Ancestral Heart Dharma King in a sneak attack that fell short of defence.
Against the Divine Wreckage Dharma King, he intended to use it again.
The Divine Wreckage Dharma King was indeed slightly startled when the Demonic Ape suddenly rushed out.
However, his reaction speed was extremely fast, and in just a split second, he immediately changed the direction of his Half-Saint Staff and pressed downwards, all of his power striking at the Demonic Ape.
“Boom!”
The Half-Saint Staff and the Demonic Ape’s fist, collided, knocking the Demonic Ape back more than ten steps, and even his finger bones were broken three times.
Divine Wreckage Dharma King’s cultivation was already deeper than the Demon Ape’s, and with the possession of a Half-Saint Dharma Staff, it was simply like a tiger adding wings to its wings, so naturally, he easily knocked the Demon Ape back.
“Haha! Zhang Ruochen, this beast, is that your bottom card? With just you guys, you also want to assassinate old me? Sneak attacking and backstabbing tactics, old me already did it a hundred years ago, you’re still too young!”
Although Divine Wreckage Dharma King had a violent character, he was very shrewd, Zhang Ruochen had already counted on him once, it was almost impossible to count on him a second time.
“Ow!”
The Devil Ape was furious and roared as it dashed out furiously forwards, arriving in front of the Divine Wreckage Dharma King, striking out once again and attacking the Divine Wreckage Dharma King.
Its entire body, radiating black demonic light, was filled with destructive power.
“Seek death.”
The Divine Wreckage Dharma King’s eyes were cold and sharp as he completely injected his entire body’s mana into the Half-Saint Staff.
On the surface of the staff, a layer of white shadow surfaced, becoming as thick as a bowl and ten zhang long as it swung towards the demonic ape, striking the ape’s chest.
This time, the Demonic Ape was directly sent flying, landing a hundred feet away, its huge body crushing a large swath of ancient trees with a clicking sound.
Zhang Ruochen rushed ahead and glanced back, his pupils shrinking, “This old fellow’s strength is truly terrifying, it is estimated that he is all on the verge of reaching the Fish Dragon Third Transformation.”
After another breath of time passed, Zhang Ruochen finally reached the Holy Formation’s eye position.
The Divine Wreckage Dharma King followed closely behind and chased after him, saying sternly, “Do you want to use the Sacred Formation against me? My knowledge of Saint Formations is ten times better than yours. When I reached the bottom of Split Yin Mountain, I had already discovered that the Sacred Formation was not completely destroyed.”
The Divine Skeleton Dharma King saw through Zhang Ruochen’s purpose and slashed his Half-Saint Staff down violently.
A powerful mana surged above the staff, transforming into a waterfall of mana, each one of which was like a stream of water, as if it was going to crush the entire Split Yin Mountain.
Knowing that he couldn’t block this strike, Zhang Ruochen immediately mobilised his spatial power and performed Spatial Shift, disappearing in place.
“Boom!”
The Divine Wreckage Dharma King’s staff struck above the formation eye with a boom.
The eye of the Holy Formation was completely destroyed, and even the ground within a ten-foot radius was broken into pieces.
Performing a Spatial Shift, Zhang Ruochen appeared behind the Divine Wreckage Venerable King without any warning. Holding his sword in both hands, he hitched the Holy Sword flat, and as he followed the sword, he stabbed at Divine Wreckage Dharma King’s vest as if it were a meteor.
“Gimme!”
The Holy Sword broke through Divine Wreckage Venerable King’s defence and pierced into the flesh, blood gushing out of his body like a stream.
The tip of the sword, piercing in inch by inch ……
The Divine Wreckage Dharma King clenched his teeth, squeezed his hands together, and a greenish-coloured glow appeared at the location of his abdomen.
In the next moment, a powerful wood-attribute power surged out from his body, impacting on top of the Saint Sword and knocking Zhang Ruochen back.
Both of them, at the same time, retreated.
“What kind of power is that?”
Zhang Ruochen propped up his body with his sword, feeling that the bones in his entire body were shaken and misaligned by that force, his legs and hands were a little soft, and he couldn’t lift a single ounce of strength.
If it wasn’t for the Dragon Pearl protecting his body, that strike just now would have shattered hundreds of bones in Zhang Ruochen’s body into powder.
Divine Skeleton Venerable King was not doing well either, and on his back, a deep gash was stabbed out by the Saint Sword.
A wave of sword energy carrying holy power was running amok inside him, constantly destroying his blood veins, bones, and organs. Right now, he could only use his mana to forcefully suppress it as well.
“It seems like we really shouldn’t fight Zhang Ruochen at close range, it’s indeed very easy to be backstabbed by him. Just now, what kind of stance did he use, actually appearing behind me out of nowhere?”
The two men confronted each other, not immediately striking again.
Zhang Ruochen narrowed his eyes and stared at Divine Wreckage Dharma King, saying, “What power did you use just now? With your cultivation level, it’s impossible for you to have that powerful mana.”
The Divine Wreckage Dharma King did not answer and asked instead, “And what stance did you use just now?”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t answer either and smiled as he took a healing pill, revolving his true qi and began to heal his injuries.
Divine Wreckage Dharma King did not make a move either, immediately mobilising his mana, trying to dissolve the wave of sword qi in his body.
While the Divine Wreckage Dharma King was revolving his magical energy, Zhang Ruochen cast out his Heavenly Eyes and looked over at him, only to see that a green-coloured light was actually suspended at the location of the Divine Wreckage Dharma King’s abdomen.
Earlier, that powerful wood attribute power had erupted from that mass of cyan-coloured light.
“What exactly is it?”
Just as Zhang Ruochen was pondering, suddenly, a violent fluctuation came from the Qi Sea in his brow.
A picture scroll, suspended in the centre of the Qi Sea, emitted a circle of light waves.
The Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram.
The scroll gradually opened and stood up, presenting a magnificent picture world.
In the scroll, the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood, as if it had come to life, actually began to breathe and exhale like a cultivator.
The wave of wood-attribute power that had invaded Zhang Ruochen’s body was sucked cleanly by the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood in a flash.
“How could this happen? Could it be that the mass of green light within the Divine Wreckage Dharma King’s body has something to do with the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood? Otherwise, why would the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram show such a strange movement?”
Ever since he obtained the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram, Zhang Ruochen only knew that it was a temporal treasure that could include the martial souls of martial artists and savage beasts within it, but living creatures, however, could not be included in the Diagram World.
Only Xiao Hei was excluded.
Because, Xiao Hei had once been sealed by the Qian Kun Divine Wood Diagram for 100,000 years.
Now, the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram finally had some changes, causing Zhang Ruochen to immediately rejoice.
One must know that the inner space of the Space-Time Crystal Stone had become smaller and smaller, and according to Zhang Ruochen’s projection, it could probably still support his cultivation for one more year before it used up all its energy and disappeared.
Possessing the Space-Time Crystal Stone would allow Zhang Ruochen to have three times more time.
It was because of the extra three times of time that Zhang Ruochen had the chance to catch up with other top geniuses, and even catch up with Chi Yao.
If the Time Crystal Stone disappeared, Zhang Ruochen would have to search for a new Time Treasure.
Originally, Zhang Ruochen had set his eyes on the Heavenly Wheel Seal, but it was a pity that there were too many experts in the Chaotic Ten Thousand Realms Mountain, so it was impossible for him to obtain the Heavenly Wheel Seal with his current strength.
If he was able to open the world space of the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram, it would definitely be a heavenly good thing, and would be enough to be used in place of the Space-Time Crystal.
The Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram was definitely more precious than the Time and Space Crystal Stone, and would help Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation even more.
“No matter what, we must obtain the piece of treasure inside the Divine Wreckage Dharma King.”
Zhang Ruochen sat on the ground, countless thoughts flashing in his mind, not caring about the injuries on his body, he immediately mobilised his spiritual power and summoned a bowl-thick thunderbolt to attack the Divine Skeleton Dharma King.
Take advantage of his illness to kill him.
It was only when the Divine Wreckage Dharma King had not yet recovered from his injuries that Zhang Ruochen had the opportunity to subdue him.
At the same time, the Devil Ape also charged up once again and attacked the Divine Wreckage Dharma King.
The Devil Ape’s fleshly body was very powerful, and even though it had been heavily injured by the Divine Wreckage Dharma King earlier, it was still quite ferocious now, forcing the Divine Wreckage Dharma King to strike back, not even having the chance to retreat.
“Damn it, what exactly is Zhang Ruochen, not only can he mobilise the power of flame, he can also mobilise the power of lightning.”The Divine Wreckage Dharma King suppressed his injuries while returning fire.
In a sense, those spiritual power masters of the Kunlun Realm had some similarities with the mages of the Five Elements Market Realm, but of course, there were also many differences.
There were three thousand great paths, and all of them had the same path.
“Wow!”
Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power, manipulating the spiritual qi of the heavens and earth, continuously transformed into the power of thunder and lightning, transforming into a thick ray of electricity that struck towards the Divine Skeleton Dharma King.
