With the help of the huge spiritual power in the chess pieces, Zhang Ruochen controlled the Electricity and Fire Vortex and finally crushed all the flying ice swords.
The power of the Electricity and Fire Vortex directly swept Snake Two up and into the centre of the vortex. Ninety-nine bowl-thick lightning bolts all struck towards her.
“Rumble!”
Even though, Snake Two’s body had protective treasures and a powerful physique, she was still pierced by the lightning, constantly emitting miserable cries as her entire body became scorched black.
The power of the electricity and fire vortex was simply unimaginable, and if it wasn’t for the barrier of the formation around the battle platform, I’m afraid that everyone in the entire Divine Platform City would have died and turned into a ruin.
A few moments later, the power of the thunder and lightning had beaten Snake Two back into his original form, transforming into a huge Sacred Heart White Snake, hanging in the vortex, constantly under attack.
“Kid, why don’t you stop immediately?”
The Chief Rat’s face, very fierce, leapt and flew onto the battle platform, stretching out a sharp claw and attacking Zhang Ruochen with lightning speed.
Zhang Ruochen controlled his Meteor Invisibility Clothes and quickly moved out horizontally to the right, dodging the Head Rat’s attack.
“It has almost lost its fighting ability.”
Zhang Ruochen glanced towards Snake Two in the Electricity and Fire Vortex, and then, withdrew his spiritual power.
Immediately, the Electricity and Fire Vortex ruptured and broke apart, transforming into strands of tiny electric patterns that dissipated into the air.
“With a bang, the Sacred Heart White Snake, whose body was more than 300 metres long, fell down from the sky, causing the ground to shake a little.
On the body of the Sacred Heart White Snake, black smoke continuously emerged, and in many places, the snake scales fell off, and the flesh and blood were charred by the splits.
Ouyang Huan took a step forward, mounted the battle platform, came to the side of the Sacred Heart White Snake, and took an extremely high grade healing elixir into its mouth.
Afterwards, he stretched out a palm and poured the holy qi in his body into the Sacred Heart White Snake’s body in a steady stream.
Not long after, the body of the Sacred Heart White Snake, once again changed into a human form and collapsed in Ouyang Huan’s arms, its face looking very pale and dying.
In the other direction, the Head Rat and Zhang Ruochen also confronted each other.
On the body of the first rat, an ice-cold demonic aura emanated as he coldly said, “Lin Yue, first you killed Sparrow Nine, then you took away Dragon Three’s divine Dragon Bone, and now you’ve seriously injured Snake Two, you’ve already angered me. If I don’t waste you, in the future, how can I still be the boss of the 36 Palace Protector Beast Generals.”
Zhang Ruochen appeared calm and said, “I have already given your Demon Sect a great deal of face by not killing Dragon 3 and Snake 2. If you want to fight, I can also accompany you.”
The chief rat was already seething with rage and was about to make a move, but Ouyang Huan stepped out first and came across to Zhang Ruochen, staring at him carefully and said, “Actually, I admire your courage, those who dare to make an enemy of the Moon Worshipping Divine Sect are still in the minority after all.”
Ouyang Huan had originally wanted to come to weigh the Eastern Region Cultivation World, but he had never expected to lose two of his great generals in a row at the hands of Lin Yue.
Even though, he was in a very peaceful state of mind, he was still feeling quite sulky.
Everyone could tell that the Devil Son of the Moon Worshipping Devil Sect was ready to personally strike.
Just now, the mental power attack that Lin Yue had unleashed was incredibly powerful, even a first rank Half-Saint would probably be quite scornful of it. In such a situation, Ouyang Huan actually dared to make a move, how confident must he be in his own strength?
Ouyang Huan added, ”Honestly speaking, your strength is not necessarily stronger than Snake Two. If you hadn’t borrowed an outsider’s spiritual power, you would have probably lost this battle.”
Zhang Ruochen looked at the chess piece in his hand and said indifferently, “Do you think that I only have one chess piece and no other cards?”
In the chess piece, the spiritual energy had been almost consumed, one out of ten, which was equivalent to having no effect.
Even so, in the face of Ouyang Huan, an absolute strong enemy, Zhang Ruochen did not have a trace of fear.
Ouyang Huan smiled faintly and said, ”Is that so? Since that’s the case, I’ll personally go out and see what other cards you have?”
Below the battle stage, Ao Xin Yan coldly said, “Lin Yue has already fought two matches in a row, and the holy qi in his body, I don’t know how much it has been consumed. Wouldn’t you be taking a huge advantage if you go and fight against him now?”
At that moment, the geniuses of the Eastern Domain and the disciples of the Two Yi Sect all cursed as well.
“Ouyang Huan, as the devil son of the Devil Cult, I didn’t expect that he would be such a shameless person.”
“The Devil Sect can only use wheel wars to have a chance to compete with our East Domain’s human masters.”
“Get lost and go back to the Central Domain, don’t come to the Two Element Sect to disgrace yourself.”
……
Ouyang Huan’s brows furrowed as he took out a fist-sized glazed jade box and threw it over to Zhang Ruochen, saying, “Since you’re consuming a lot of Saint Qi, I won’t take advantage of you.”
“This is a Sacred Sky Seven Clouds Pill, which was refined by this Sect after spending ten years boiling the Sacred Stones into liquid droplets and adding seven types of spirit medicines that are thousands of years old.”
“All you have to do is to take it, and within a quarter of an hour, you will be able to recover to your full strength and reach the state of ‘Sacred Qi Fullness, Roundness and Unity’.”
Zhang Ruochen was not polite and took the glazed jade box and opened it.
A refreshingly fragrant dan qi surged out from the box, transforming into a cloud of holy qi, with grains of white points of light flickering on top of the dan, just like a sky full of stars.
Sure enough, it was a very high grade elixir, worth at least half a million spirit crystals, even a first rank half saint, in the case of a large amount of holy qi depletion, swallowing it, it was estimated that it could immediately recover to its full strength.
A cultivator of the Fish Dragon Realm, by swallowing it, would not only be able to recover his holy qi, but also allow his cultivation to grow a bit.
It had to be said that Ouyang Huan was indeed generous in his offer.
However, Ouyang Huan was, after all, a member of the Devil Cult, and might not be as bright and open-minded in his actions, so for safety’s sake, Zhang Ruochen carefully examined the Sacred Empty Seven Clouds Pill once more, confirming that Ouyang Huan had not secretly used any tricks in the Pill, before he took it.
Before Zhang Ruochen could fully digest the Sacred Empty Seven Clouds Pill, a white pillar of light flew from afar and landed in the centre of the battle arena, manifesting itself into a beautiful silhouette with a slender figure.
On the body of the beautiful silhouette, a powerful holy qi surged out, causing Ouyang Huan and Zhang Ruochen to fly down to the battle platform as if they were two leaves.
Ouyang Huan and Zhang Ruochen steadied themselves and retreated backwards, not daring to make a move, because the beautiful silhouette standing at the centre of the battle platform was precisely the Sacred Book Talented Lady.
The Holy Book Talented Maiden’s body was filled with holy light, and the air currents around her tumbled as strands of holy light descended from the sky, forming a powerful holy might that surged out in all directions, spreading across the Divine Platform City.
“Greetings to the Saint!”
“Greetings to the Saint!”
……
Almost all of the cultivators in Divine Platform City, including those at the Half-Saint level, knelt down and saluted in the direction of the Sacred Book Talented Maiden.
This was a pilgrimage and a form of respect for the Saint.
The status of a Saint was many times higher than that of a Half Saint, having cultivated a Saint Source, communicated the rules of heaven and earth, and possessed a Saint position of their own.
As long as someone became a Saint, within a 10,000 mile radius of them, the rules of heaven and earth would undergo some subtle changes, and naturally, they would be centred on the Saint, affecting the humans and living beings in the vicinity.
A Saint was already a part of the Saint’s Path.
Any cultivator on the Sacred Path would naturally have to develop reverence for the Saint, and when they saw the Saint, they could not have the slightest evil thoughts and had to kneel and bow.
Generally speaking, a Saint would not intentionally mobilise the rules of the Saint Dao and use Saint Might to suppress the multitudes.
At this moment, for the Holy Book Talented Lady to erupt with her Saintly Might, it already indicated that she was quite angry and wanted to warn or judge as a Saint.
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden said in a cold voice, ”This Saint invited all the heroes of the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect to participate in the Sword Discussion Conference, not for you to come and provoke trouble. If there is a next time, this Saint will personally take action and expel you.”
Ouyang Huan was not crushed by the Holy Book Talented Lady’s holy might, still standing upright with dignity, bowed and calmly said, “Since Lord Saint has already given his word, in the future, naturally, such a thing will not happen again. Only, my sect has some grudges with Lin Yue, so I ask Lord Saint to allow me to fight him in a fair battle.”
Ouyang Huan had obviously reached the Supreme Extreme Realm and was guarded by the Seal of the Gods. Hence, it was only possible to resist the Holy Book Talented Lady’s holy might.
Of course, it was also because, the Holy Book Talented Maiden’s Saintly Might was targeting the cultivators of the entire Divine Platform City, not Ouyang Huan alone. Otherwise, even if he was guarded by the Seal of the Gods, it would be impossible for him to resist the suppression of the rules of the Holy Dao.
The Holy Might of a Saint was the Holy Dao Rule.
The Sacred Book Talented Lady said, ”Your grudge can be put aside for the time being. Next month, this Saint will be in Divine Terrace City, hosting the Boundary Son Banquet. At that time, it won’t be too late for you to compete.”
Ouyang Huan was very clear that the Sacred Book Talented Maiden was deliberately helping Lin Yue by postponing the duel for a month.
Only, in just one month’s time, I’m afraid that even if Lin Yue cultivated even more, he would not be able to be his opponent. Could it be that when the time came, Lin Yue would continue to borrow Holy Book Talented Lady’s spiritual power again?
If Lin Yue did that, even if he defeated Ouyang Huan, he would be ridiculed by the world.
What kind of skill was it to only know how to borrow a woman’s power to defeat an opponent?
“I’m afraid that Lin Yue’s relationship with the Sacred Book Talented Lady is truly extraordinary.”Secretly, all the Saint Masters of the major powers thought so.
The geniuses of the younger generation, however, were all attracted by the words “Boundary Son Banquet”, and many of them were very excited and invigorated.
Sixty years ago, Mr Mei had set up the Heroes’ Banquet, inviting all the world’s talents to gather at the Book Sect, and subsequently, there was the “Heroes’ Fugue”, which made Wan Zhaoyi, Chen Wutian, and the others famous throughout the world, and became the benchmark of an era.
Now, the Sacred Book Talent followed Mr Mei’s example and set up the Boundary Son Banquet, obviously to select the nine Boundary Sons.
Whoever could become a Boundary Son would then become the benchmark of the next era, just like Wan Zhaoyi and Chen Wutian, whose fame would spread across the heavens and no one would recognise them.
Anyone who was in cultivation, who wouldn’t want to become famous once?
What’s more, the status of a Sector Son was extraordinary, who wouldn’t want to fight for it?
Even those who knew that they couldn’t become a Boundary Son were eager to go to the Boundary Son Banquet, being able to gather with the geniuses of the entire Kunlun Boundary was an incomparable honour in itself!
