In the distance, three powerful auras rushed in, and Zhang Ruochen looked over, only to see that the three giant trees of the sky were rushing over, surprisingly shaping a closed circle to encircle Zhang Ruochen.
“Rushing back so quickly!”
Zhang Ruochen smiled and immediately struck out the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm, stimulating the power of the Dragon Pearl with this set of martial arts. With a “wow” sound, a pair of three zhang long golden dragon wings rushed out from his back.
With a flap of the wings, Zhang Ruochen immediately dashed off, as if he had turned into a large bird and flew inside the hundreds of metres high clouds.
“How easy is it to escape?”
The four Tree Man Kings each controlled a thousand year old fire vine and struck out into the sky.
The fire vine became as thick as a bucket and thousands of metres long, rising up into the sky and through the clouds like four fire dragons, lashing out at Zhang Ruochen.
The Fire Vine itself was a kind of elf, with intelligence and spirituality, and when combined with the power of the Tree Man King, it instantly erupted with a rather terrifying power.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t dare to clash with the Fire Vine, so he could only keep dodging.
“No way, flying in the sky is just like a living target.”
Zhang Ruochen passed through the four Fire Vines and immediately swooped down, landing back on the ground.
He put away his pair of dragon wings and turned into a silhouette, rushing inside the dense forest and disappearing a moment later.
“All Tree People Kings, tomorrow, I will come back to fight you again.”
Zhang Ruochen’s voice resounded between heaven and earth, but the four Tree People Kings could not find his form at all.
“He escaped again, how hateful.”
“Didn’t he claim that he’s still coming tomorrow, since that’s the case, let’s set up a heavenly dragnet tomorrow, let’s see how he can still escape?”
“That’s right, tomorrow, we’ll set up the Heavenly Tree God-Exterminating Formation, and we’ll be sure to kill the Extraterrestrial Death God.”
The four Tree Man Kings gathered together and began to discuss specific strategies to deal with the Extra-dimensional Death God.
Zhang Ruochen was in a rather happy mood, easily earning more than 100,000 Military Merit Values, one step closer to a million Military Merit Values.
However, Zhang Ruochen was not complacent. He knew very well that the reason why the Military Merit Value had accumulated so quickly was because the Tree People weren’t good at fighting and, moreover, they weren’t very intelligent, which was why they had been tricked by him.
If he were to be replaced by a human Ichthyosaurus Third Transformation cultivator, he would have already cultivated to the level of “Refining Skin into Gold” and “Refining Bones into Jade”. Moreover, to be able to cultivate to the Fish Dragon Third Transformation, which one of them has been through a hundred battles or a thousand battles, it would be strange if they were that easy to deal with.
“Having suffered a big loss for two consecutive days, in the next few days, the Tree People Clan, will definitely be more careful and cautious. Since that’s the case, I’ll stop taking risks and improve my own strength before slowly fighting them.”
As for Zhang Ruochen’s claim that he would continue to go and fight the Tree Man King tomorrow, it was a complete joke.
True or false, false or true, it would be best to keep those Tree People guessing as to when exactly he would strike.
Returning to the concealment formation at the top of the mountain peak, Zhang Ruochen drank a mouthful of Wood Spirit Red Stillwater and began to heal the injuries in both palms.
His injuries weren’t serious and could only be considered as superficial wounds, and they soon healed.
“Since I’ve already broken through to the Heavenly Extremity Realm Great Extremity Position, I should be able to refine more Half-Saint’s Light and raise my Martial Soul to a higher realm.”
When he was at the Heavenly Extremity Realm Middle Extremity Position, Zhang Ruochen had borrowed the Light of the Half-Saint to raise his Martial Soul to a strength comparable to that of a Fish Dragon Sixth Transformation Cultivator, reaching the limit of what his body could withstand from his Martial Soul.
If the martial soul was too powerful, it would be impossible for the martial artist to withstand it.
For example, with Zhang Ruochen’s current martial cultivation and body strength, if the martial soul suddenly reached the level of a Half Saint, the body would definitely be burst.
However, after breaking through to the Heavenly Extremity Realm Great Extremity Position, Zhang Ruochen’s body strength had increased quite a bit more, and he could continue to absorb the Half-Saint’s Light to make his martial soul even stronger.
If the Martial Soul could reach the strength of a Fish Dragon Seventh Transformation Cultivator, it would be able to mobilise more Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and it would definitely increase its strength so much that even if he faced four Tree Man Kings at the same time, Zhang Ruochen would still have a chance of winning.
The Half-Saint’s Light was stored in Zhang Ruochen’s brow Qi Sea.
As, Zhang Ruochen began to absorb the Semi-Sacred Light, all of a sudden, his head, exuded a white holy light, with holy light pouring out from his eyes, pens, ears, and mouth, converging to the top of his head, coalescing to form a ring of white light.
The Orange Moon Star Envoy sat in the formation, a pair of eyes, staring tightly at Zhang Ruochen, seeing strands of holy light, pouring out from Zhang Ruochen’s Qi Sea.
In her heart, she was quite astonished, “Zhang Ruochen’s Qi Sea was actually able to store half-saintly light, and moreover, the amount was quite a lot, could it be that could it be that he had cultivated to the supreme extremity of a certain realm, attracting the resonance of the gods, forming a Qi Sea of Divine Light.”
The Orange Moon Star Envoy had also refined Half-Saint’s Light as a way to enhance the strength of her martial soul.
However, she had never directly used her Qi Sea to store the Half-Saint’s Light because, the Qi Seas of ordinary martial artists were very fragile and could easily be cracked by the strong power of the Half-Saint’s Light.
Only martial artists who had invoked the resonance of the gods and cultivated a divine Light Qi Sea could withstand the power of the Half-Saint’s Light.
Just like Bu Qianfan.
Bu Qianfan had reached the Supreme Extreme Realm at the Yellow Extreme Realm and had also cultivated a Divine Light Qi Sea, so his Qi Sea, too, was able to store the Half-Saint’s Light.
“No wonder Zhang Ruochen is so powerful, he must have already reached the Supreme Extreme Realm once. If he is allowed to accumulate enough thirty million military merit points again, he will be able to reach the Supreme Extremity Realm for the second time, and at that time, who else will be his opponent among his generation?”
The Orange Moon Star Envoy’s eyes kept changing as he pondered on how to spread the news, no matter what, the Black Market had to get rid of Zhang Ruochen and could not allow him to grow up.
Spending three days, Zhang Ruochen absorbed a large amount of Half-Saint’s Light, and the strength of his martial soul, indeed, increased to a level comparable to that of a Fish Dragon Seventh Transformation cultivator.
He released his Martial Soul and suspended it in mid-air.
The Martial Soul, mobilising the Spiritual Qi of the Heavens and Earth within a ten-mile radius, condensed into a tens of metres long Qi sword.
“Swoosh!”
The Qi Sword flew out, like a meteor flying in the sky, and without knowing how far it had flown, it made a downward dash and crashed down towards the ground, striking in the middle of the Tree People army, and smashing a Hundred Years Tree People into a pile of shattered wood.
With a loud boom, the roots of the hundred year old tree man shattered, and on the ground, a huge crater was left behind.
“The Fish Dragon Seventh Transformation’s Martial Soul, coupled with the Sword Mind Realm, can unexpectedly erupt with such a powerful force, completely capable of killing a thousand miles away. However, this move also consumes too much true qi, after launching one attack, the true qi in the body is almost depleted.”
Killing someone from a thousand miles away seemed very powerful, but in reality, it required the co-operation of various conditions.
First, the strength of the Fish Dragon Seventh Transformation’s martial soul.
Second, the realm of Sword Heart Understanding.
Third, spiritual power reaching the fortieth rank and opening the Heaven’s Eye. Only with the Heavenly Eyes could one clearly see an enemy thousands of miles away.
These three, one was indispensable.
For a Heavenly Extremity Realm martial artist, not to mention reaching all three at the same time, even if they were able to reach one of them, it would be quite a remarkable achievement.
Even in the Fish Dragon Realm, there weren’t many cultivators who could achieve all three points at the same time.
Because of the massive depletion of his True Qi, Zhang Ruochen gave birth to a sense of weakness and immediately took a mouthful of Wood Spirit Red Stillwater to recover his True Qi.
Before long, he once again reached his peak state.
“Today, make sure to accumulate the General Merit Value, to one million points.”
Zhang Ruochen stood up, his entire body filled with wariness.
“Team Leader, I’m going too.”
Ao Xinyan carried her sword and followed behind Zhang Ruochen as she walked out of the formation.
Zhang Ruochen glanced towards Ao Xinyan and his eyes narrowed slightly, “You have cultivated into a Water Spirit Treasure Body?”
“That’s right, cultivating into the Water Spirit Treasure Body has also improved my Half-Dragon Body by a large margin. Moreover, with the help of the Black Water Glazed Crystal, my cultivation has also broken through to the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Extremity Realm. With my current strength, I’m already no weaker than Pei Ji back then, and I definitely won’t drag my feet for the group leader.”Ao Xin Yan said.
With Ao Xin Yan’s current strength, she was indeed no weaker than Pei Ji, and was even a few points stronger than Pei Ji. Moreover, she had only just broken through to the Great Circle of the Heavenly Extremity Realm, and there was still a lot of room for improvement.
If she were to accumulate for a while longer, she would even have the hope of impacting the top ten of the Heavenly Ranking.
“That’s fine, since you want to go, then go! With your cultivation level, you should also sharpen more.”Zhang Ruochen said.
On Ao Xin Yan’s pretty googly-egg face, a look of delight immediately appeared, tightly pursing her red lips, not knowing what was going on in her mind, very happy.
Afterwards, she followed Zhang Ruochen’s lead, jumped off the mountain peak, and rushed over in the direction of the tree people army.
Before he could reach the stationing place of the tree people army, Zhang Ruochen struck the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword out, performed the Sword Royal Art, and struck first at the Mingyi Tree People King, who was the second in terms of strength amongst the four Tree People Kings.
The four Tree Man-Kings, originally, had already set up the Heavenly Wooden God-exterminating Formation a long time ago, wanting to make a big effort to get rid of the Extraterrestrial God of Death.
However, they hadn’t expected that the Extraterrestrial Death God would be so ungrateful. They had waited for three days in a row, but they did not see him appear.
When the entire Tree Man army was slacking off, a holy sword suddenly flew from the sky and took the lead in attacking the Mingyi Tree Man King.
Without any defence, with a bang, the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword pierced through the trunk of the tree, leaving a huge hole on top of the Mingyi Tree Man King’s torso, bringing out a large amount of blood.
