Under Zhang Ruochen and the Demonic Ape’s joint attack, the Divine Wreckage Dharma King’s injuries, which continued to worsen, slowed down his reaction speed by a lot.
“No, if we continue like this, we will definitely be exhausted by them. I didn’t realise that Zhang Ruochen, this junior, would be so difficult to deal with, the deaths of the Greenwood Dharma King and the Ancestral Heart Dharma King in his hands were not unjust.”
The Divine Wreckage Dharma King’s face was as heavy as iron, and after a slight thought, he had a strategy in his mind, fending off the attacks of the Demonic Ape and Thunderbolt while charging towards Zhang Ruochen.
As long as he killed Zhang Ruochen, he would be able to lift the crisis.
Just as the Divine Wreckage Dharma King rushed to within three steps of Zhang Ruochen, Zhang Ruochen was still still sitting on the ground, with no intention of getting up.
“Die for me.”
The Divine Wreckage Dharma King swung his Half-Saint Staff, mobilising his entire body’s strength and slashing down towards Zhang Ruochen’s head.
Waiting for this was the opportunity.
Zhang Ruochen’s right hand quickly lifted up and extended a finger, drawing it towards the Divine Wreckage Dharma King, “Spatial Crack.”
Out of nowhere, the space in front of the Divine Wreckage Dharma King was torn apart, transforming into a chaotic round of cracks that swallowed the Half-Saint Staff in his hand, and even his head was cut off by space.
At such a close distance, the Divine Wreckage Dharma King didn’t even have a chance to dodge.
The spatial rift closed, everything returned to calm, and on the ground, there was only a headless corpse that fell backwards.
The Devil Ape roared angrily and rushed over, wanting to smash the Divine Wreckage Dharma King’s corpse with a single punch.
“Stop.”
Zhang Ruochen chided, then, stood up.
Right at this moment, a green-coloured mist of light flew out from the abdominal position of the Divine Wreckage Dharma King’s corpse, emitting a rich wood attribute power.
With that mass of light mist as the centre, the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees grew at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even the grass that had just sprouted shoots quickly grew to half a man’s height.
“This is …… this is the Five Elements Market Realm’s Origin Qi?”
Zhang Ruochen was very knowledgeable and had read countless books before, which was why he had such a guess.
For every world, there was Origin Qi.
Lower Market Realms, Middle Market Realms, Upper Market Realms, and even the Kunlun Realm, all had Origin Qi.
The bigger and more stable the world was, the thicker the origin qi would be.
When the Origin Qi is strong to a certain extent, it can even produce spiritual wisdom, turning into the “Spirit of the World”, which can control everything in that world.
For the human beings of a world, the Origin Qi is the God of Creation, the Heavenly Dao, the blessings, karma, fortune, and the rules of the underworld.
The origin qi was different, the rules of the world, different.
The Origin Qi of the Five Elements Market Realm was made up of a total of five forces converging together, representing gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
The five spiritual treasures of the Five Elements Ruins Realm, the Golden God Chi, the Black Water Glazed Crystal, the Purple Cloud Sunken Scented Wood, the Source of Spiritual Fire, and the Nurturing Saint Blood Earth, were birthed by absorbing these five types of Origin Qi.
What the Divine Wreckage Dharma King had obtained was the Five Elements Ruins Realm’s Wood Spirit Origin Qi, grasping one-fifth of the Five Elements Ruins Realm’s Qi.
After Zhang Ruochen’s many attempts, he could finally determine that the mass of green-coloured light mist was a division of the Five Elements Ruins Realm’s Origin Qi.
“The Divine Wreckage Dharma King should have just obtained the Wood Spirit Origin Qi not long ago, and has yet to completely subdue it, otherwise, he would have been able to mobilise a portion of the Five Elements Ruins Realm’s power for his own use, and would have been able to kill me without any effort.”
The Divine Wreckage Dharma King was indeed unlucky enough, if the Five Elements Ruins Realm had not been discovered by the Saints of Kunlun, and if he had not died at the hands of Zhang Ruochen, with the advantage of obtaining the Essence Qi, he would most likely be able to reach the Half-Saint realm in the future, and would become a legend of the Five Elements Ruins Realm.
If that was the case, he would be the “Son of Origin” of the Five Elements Ruins Realm, and could also be called the “Son of True Destiny”, and could command all living beings in the entire Five Elements Ruins Realm.
Of course, it was already too late to say this now.
“Since it’s the Origin Qi of the Five Elements Ruins Realm, once it’s refined, it’s enough to bring my Martial Soul to the level of a Half Saint.”
Zhang Ruochen couldn’t hide the excitement in his heart as he carefully walked over towards that green-coloured mist of light, his hands were open and he quickly worked his true qi, preparing to capture that mass of Wood Spirit Origin Qi.
“Wow!”
The Wood Spirit Origin Qi, trembled violently, and flew out a green-coloured light that struck at Zhang Ruochen.
It appeared to be just a ray of light, but to Zhang Ruochen, it looked like a world crashing towards him, seemingly crushing his martial soul.
Zhang Ruochen’s head ached and his eyes went black, a feeling that was excruciating.
The Origin Qi might not be kind to the humans in its own world, let alone Zhang Ruochen, an outsider.
When Zhang Ruochen tried to suppress it, it sensed the hostility and immediately launched a counterattack.
Even if it was only an inferior Market Realm’s Origin Qi, it was not something that Zhang Ruochen’s current cultivation level could subdue.
Seeing that Zhang Ruochen’s Martial Soul was about to be shattered by the Wood Spirit Origin Qi, suddenly, the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram automatically flew out from Zhang Ruochen’s brow and suppressed it towards the mass of Wood Spirit Origin Qi.
The Wood Spirit Origin Qi looked like it had been given a huge fright and immediately rushed towards the ground, wanting to vanish.
“Wow!”
The Qian Kun Divine Wood Diagram emitted a blinding light, as if it had opened a spatial gate, suppressing the Wood Spirit Origin Qi and taking it into the scroll.
Afterwards, the Qian Kun Divine Wood Diagram flew towards Zhang Ruochen and hovered in front of him.
Zhang Ruochen simply reached out and grabbed it, pinching the Qian Kun Divine Wood Diagram in his hand.
“To actually be able to automatically take away the Wood Spirit Origin Qi of the Five Elements Market Realm, this scroll is quite something!”
Zhang Ruochen did not rejoice, instead, he revealed a grave expression as he placed the scroll on the ground, spread it out, and carefully observed it.
On the scroll, there was a painting of an imposing Record of Mangwu, towering mountains, rushing ancient rivers, dangerous cliffs, and in the centre of the scroll, there was a painting of an ancient tree connecting heaven and earth.
According to Xiao Hei, the Sacred Monk Sumeru was painting the legendary Heaven Receiving Divine Tree.
Every line on the scroll is an inscription, ice inscription, force inscription, spatial inscription ……, all encompassing, and there is no telling how many of them there are.
After the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram absorbed the wood spirit origin qi, it returned to calmness and did not show any fluctuations, it was no different from an ordinary scroll.
“How could it be like this? After absorbing the Wood Spirit Origin Qi, it’s impossible for it to remain completely unchanged.”
Zhang Ruochen frowned, somewhat unwillingly, and pressed his palm onto the surface of the scroll, mobilising the True Qi in his body and injecting it into the scroll.
The scroll, surprisingly, slowly absorbed the True Qi.
The Divine Wood on the scroll looked like it had come to life, its leaves gently shaking, emitting a “rustling” sound. There were even a few leaves that looked like they were about to emerge from the scroll.
It was as if only a split second had passed, or as if several months had already passed.
Zhang Ruochen immediately withdrew his palms, panting furiously, his entire body was drenched in sweat beads, and the true qi in his sea of qi was consumed.
A sense of weakness travelled out, Zhang Ruochen only felt his eyes darken, almost fainting.
Zhang Ruochen immediately meditated on the Nine Heavenly Bright Emperor Sutra, and after about half an hour, he finally recovered 10% of his true qi, slowed down, and then, opened his eyes.
“Awake, awake, finally awake!”
Chang Qi Qi’s large face, right next to Zhang Ruochen from a close distance, saw Zhang Ruochen open his eyes, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief and laughed excitedly.
Huang Yichen walked over quickly from afar, staring with a pair of beautiful eyes, saying with some displeasure, “Zhang Ruochen, what kind of Divine Diagram are you actually comprehending, why did you sit there motionless for more than ten days?”
“More than ten days?”
Zhang Ruochen looked at the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram on the ground, a puzzled look appearing in his eyes.
How could it be more than ten days?
He clearly remembered that only a split second had passed, no, he clearly remembered that several months had passed, also no ……
In his impression, it was both like only a split second had passed and a long, long time had passed, but definitely not more than ten days.
So odd!
Could it be that without realising it, he had already entered the inner space of the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram?
Zhang Ruochen only felt that his brain was in chaos, and he really couldn’t figure out what had happened to him. If Little Black was there, perhaps it could help him answer his questions.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen let out a light eep, and was pleasantly surprised to find that his Spiritual Strength had risen by a large margin, breaking through one rank to reach the forty-first rank.
After spiritual power reached the forty-first rank, it was ten times more difficult to break through than the martial dao, and every step up was a qualitative leap.
Because, as long as the spiritual power reaches the forty-fifth rank, one can be called a “Spiritual Power Half Saint”, using spiritual power, one can fight with Half Saints, and even kill Half Saints.
Breaking through from the fortieth rank to the forty-first rank was already a considerable advancement.
“The mental power boost is definitely related to the Qiankun Divine Wood.”
Zhang Ruochen became excited, if not for the fact that the True Qi in his body had not recovered yet, he would have definitely injected it into the Qian Kun Divine Wood Diagram once again, continuing to enter that mysterious state he had just been in.
Suppressing the emotions in his heart, Zhang Ruochen put away the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram and looked at the three people standing around and asked, “When did you all come here?”
Huang Yichen said, “Eldest Senior Brother, Senior Brother Chang, and I returned to Wind Spirit City and waited for a full day without seeing you appear. We were worried that you might have met with something untoward, so we immediately returned and came to Split Yin Mountain once again.”
Si Xingkong said, “We have already waited here for more than ten days, the third round of examination, has almost reached January, and many of the trainees have already travelled on the warships and gone to the Market Realm Passage. Since you’ve awakened, I’ll send out a signal now, and the warships will immediately come over and receive us to the Ruin Realm Passage, and send us back to the Chaotic Ten Thousand Realms Mountain together.”
