Bearing the palm force, the body of the Northern Wolf King, bowed outwards, and immediately after, like a cannonball, flew out and collided with the hard altar.
“Boom.”
The altar, which had not been damaged even by the war eight hundred years ago, withstood the North Wolf King’s collision, and unexpectedly collapsed inwards, with some chunks of boulders falling down, burying the North Wolf King’s body.
Zhang Ruochen stood on the ground, his long black hair fluttering in the wind, his gaze as flat as water as he raised his arm and looked at the Pure Destruction Divine Flame in his palm, muttering to himself, “Divine Flame Possession has indeed allowed my strength to, indeed, increase by several times.”
The Pure Destruction Divine Flame, as the name implied was a flame that could only be manipulated by a god, and did not belong to the earth, but rather came from the ethereal God Realm.
Of course, the power of the Pure Destruction divine Flame was also unpredictable and profound, and didn’t just represent destruction, but also had other attributes.
At this moment, the Pure Destruction divine Flame was quenching Zhang Ruochen’s body, entering the five viscera and six bowels, and entering the bones and sinews, while at the same time, it also released a large amount of energy out.
It was this energy that allowed Zhang Ruochen to erupt with a combat power that surpassed his own cultivation by several times, defeating the Northern Wolf King of the Fifth Order Half-Saint Realm with his cultivation of the Ninth Transformation of the Fish Dragon.
“The process of refining my body with the Pure Destruction Divine Flame is also the time when I am closest to the rules of the Sacred Dao, so it’s a good time to take advantage of this opportunity to comprehend the rules of time.”Zhang Ruochen said in his heart.
The Saint Dao Rules that Zhang Ruochen had counselled out were already close to a hundred, accumulating very deeply, as long as this night, he was able to counsell out the Time Rule, he would also have a chance to, in one fell swoop, break through to the Half-Saint realm.
With his eyes closed, Zhang Ruochen began to finely perceive the Saint Dao, exploring the true meaning of the power of time.
“Boom!”
The Northern Wolf King rushed out from within the altar, his face covered in dust, the corner of his mouth had a smear of blood, and he glanced down at his chest position.
Only to see that the twelve layers of golden armour had actually melted ten layers, leaving a hole formed by a palm print.
“Surprisingly, it really is the Pure Destruction divine Flame.”
Although the Pure Destruction Divine Flame was powerful, Zhang Ruochen was not able to control the Divine Flame, and furthermore, the flames of the Divine Flame were very faint, so the power that could be utilised was actually quite limited.
Therefore, the Northern Wolf King was not afraid of the Pure Extinction Divine Flame, what really made him very afraid was Zhang Ruochen’s terrifying speed. The speed exerted by a Fish Dragon Realm cultivator was actually a bit faster than him, it was really too heaven-defying.
“Holy Soul Realm.”?The Northern Wolf King unleashed the Sacred Soul Domain, spreading it outwards to form a golden orb with a diameter of a hundred feet, enveloping Zhang Ruochen into the interior of the orb as well.
Having reached the realm of a Fifth Order Half-Saint, the Sacred Soul could mobilise the Spiritual Qi of the Heavens and Earth within a radius of nine hundred miles.
The spiritual qi of the heavens and earth continuously gathered over and rushed into the golden orb, causing the heavy pressure in the orb to grow stronger and stronger.
Half of Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual will was comprehending the rules of time, while the other half of his spiritual will was maintaining his ability to think.
Displaying the Sacred Soul Domain, the Northern Wolf King was indeed causing Zhang Ruochen great pressure, and even though, Zhang Ruochen released the Spatial Domain, his own speed still slowed down a lot.
“Worthy of being a Space-Time Transmitter, standing in the midst of a Fifth Order Half-Saint’s Sacred Soul Domain, you are still able to remain calm and collected.”The Northern Wolf King said.”Northern Wolf King, with your cultivation, you can’t kill me, while my cultivation, however, is about to break through. If I were you, I should retreat immediately.”Zhang Ruochen said.
“How many great storms has this king gone through to achieve his current cultivation and title, can he be scared off by your words? Even if you break through to the Fish Dragon Tenth Transformation, I’m afraid that there’s still a gap between you and a Fifth Order Half-Saint. Not to mention, you haven’t broken through yet.”
“I have the Pure Destruction Divine Flame to add to my power, so I only need to reach the Fish Dragon Tenth Transformation to be able to decapitate you.”
The Northern Wolf King, however, was fearless and laughed coldly, “If you can truly reach the Fish Dragon Tenth Transformation, the Pure Extinction Divine Flame will also recede. Losing the divine fire’s enchantment, it won’t be difficult for this king to clean you up.”
For the Northern Wolf King, killing a Time Successor who was impacting the Fish Dragon Tenth Transformation would not only result in a generous military value, but also, one would be able to make a name for themselves and remain famous in the history books.
Thus, even if he had to fight for his life, he would still want to exterminate Zhang Ruochen.
The Northern Wolf King stood at the centre of the golden orb, his arms unfolded and his mouth gulped holy qi, causing the golden orb to rotate rapidly.
The stones and broken walls on the decent were subjected to a suction force and flew up, rotating around the orb.
The Elephant Swallowing Rabbit brought Li-Min and dodged far away, otherwise, just a single Holy Qi released from the Northern Wolf King would be able to suppress her to death.
Li-Min looked at the golden ball of light in the centre of the ancient city and said, “Zhang Ruochen hasn’t even broken through the Half-Saint realm yet, and he dares to fight with the Northern Wolf King, I’m afraid he’s in trouble.”
“Nonsense, Master Dust has many means, even if he can’t defeat the Northern Wolf King, he will definitely be able to retreat.”
The Elephant Swallowing Rabbit was also quite nervous, with a pair of blood-red eyes, staring tightly at the distant battlefield. Although, it had great confidence in Zhang Ruochen, the Northern Wolf King was indeed too powerful, emitting an aura of power that was quite intimidating.
At the centre of the golden orb, the Northern Wolf King once again lifted its Half Moon Sacred Blade, pouring its Sacred Qi into the blade body, causing the Sacred Blade to appear as if it had transformed into a bright moon as it chopped downwards at a rapid pace.
On the ground, in Zhang Ruochen’s hand, a black sword appeared, drawing a huge circle that coalesced into a black and white Taiji seal.
“Sword Two.”
The sword blade faced upwards and slashed violently.
“Rumble.”
The swords collided together, forming an earth-shattering aura that shattered the boulders and broken walls suspended in mid-air, all of which shattered into powder.
“Nine Stars Ringing the Moon.”
Immediately after, Zhang Ruochen struck again, executing the Ghost Grade Upper Grade Nine Stars Ringing the Moon Sword Technique, and took the initiative to attack towards the Northern Wolf King.
“Desperate Style.”
The Northern Wolf King also swung his sword out to strike a hard blow with Zhang Ruochen once again.
Right at this moment, in Zhang Ruochen’s mind, he silently chanted, “Sword Qi Split.”?The Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword that stabbed out suddenly split into two.
One of the sword shadows, collided with the Half Moon Sacred Blade, while the other sword shadow struck the Northern Wolf King’s chest, piercing through the last two layers of golden armour.
“Pfft!”
Within the broken armour, blood splashed out.
The Northern Wolf King fell back sharply, his palm pressed to his chest, his eyes staring at Zhang Ruochen, no longer daring to have the slightest bit of contempt in his heart.
This Zhang Ruochen was truly a heavenly prodigy, not only did he possess the Space-Time Divine Martial Seal, he had actually cultivated the Dao of the Sword to such an exquisite and unparalleled degree.
The Pure Destruction Divine Flame began to pulsate violently, quenching Zhang Ruochen’s fleshly body, making it crystal clear as if it had been transformed into a crimson gem.
That was …… about to break through the Fish Dragon Tenth Transformation.
“You’ll never think of reaching, that legendary realm, die for me.”
The Northern Wolf King’s paws stomped on the ground, erupting with lightning speed as he swung out with all of the inscriptions in the Half Moon Sacred Blade, activated.
In the other direction, the Wanxiang King crashed Little Black out with a punch, and then, lifting his bronze long lance, he cooperated with the Northern Wolf King and struck at Zhang Ruochen’s back.
Right at this moment, an explosive sound rang out from within Zhang Ruochen’s body, as if he had broken through a certain critical point.
Immediately after, the heaven and earth aura of the surrounding world, at this moment, boiled violently.
In the centre of Zhang Ruochen’s Qi Sea, a small flame of divine Flame was suspended there, as if it was a figure sitting in a sea of clouds.
Zhang Ruochen had finally reached the Fish Dragon Tenth Transformation, condensing into the “God’s Fate”.
“Wow…?”Both eyes opened, and his pair of pupils radiated an intimidating light.
With a flash of sword light, the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword stabbed out, the tip of the sword colliding with the blade of the Half Moon Holy Sword.
Immediately after, Zhang Ruochen’s wrist turned, and there was a trace of the flame of the Pure Destruction Divine Flame that surged out from his palm and gathered at the tip of the sword.
“Snap!”
A crack appeared on the surface of the Half Moon Holy Sword, and then, it burst apart, turning into pieces.
All of those fragments were absorbed by the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword and turned into part of the sword body.
The sword light continued to charge forward with an unrelenting momentum, and with a plop, it pierced through the Northern Wolf King’s body.
The Northern Wolf King’s pupils rapidly dilated, the life qi in his body rapidly drained away, and his mouth chanted out, “How …… possible ……?”Zhang Ruochen quickly retracted his sword, sensing the dangerous aura coming from behind him, his figure immediately moved out horizontally to the right.
At the same time, the long lance stabbed out by the Wanxiang King pierced through the remnants of Zhang Ruochen’s body and struck the North Wolf King’s brow, bursting his skull.
The Wanxiang King immediately stopped and glanced towards the Northern Wolf King’s corpse, slightly stunned, before letting out a cold snort, “Cunning brat.”
In that instant when the Wanxiang King was stunned, Zhang Ruochen relied on his overwhelming speed and appeared diagonally above the Wanxiang King’s head, slashing the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword down.
“Wanxiang Wuji.”
The Ten Thousand Elephant King contracted his senses and twisted his wrist, raising his bronze long lance horizontally and blocking it upwards.
From his stout body, rolling black holy qi surged out, condensing a giant elephant silhouette that surrounded the four sides of the bronze long lance, forming the momentum of the stars arching over the moon.
“Boom!”
The Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword collided with the Bronze Long Long Lance, and immediately after, the giant elephant shadows in the four directions, simultaneously rushed upwards, forming an unrivalled force of qi that shook Zhang Ruochen and sent him flying backwards…?Zhang Ruochen carried his sword as if it was a falling leaf and lightly landed on top of the crumbling altar without any injury.
The Wanxiang King grabbed his bronze long lance and pointed it at Zhang Ruochen, a cold hum escaping his mouth, “Zhang Ruochen, this king is not the Northern Wolf King, you are still far from it.”
“Is that so?”
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze stared towards the bronze long lance.
The Wanxiang King also stared towards the bronze long lance, only to see that in the centre of the long lance, a shallow crack actually appeared. Although, this crack was not enough to scrap the bronze long lance, it still shook off several inscription lines inside the long lance.
It should be known that the inscription lines in a holy weapon were complementary to each other, with some extremely complex and subtle connections, and even if just one was broken, it could diminish the power of the holy weapon by a lot.
“What a powerful sword, could it be the monstrous sword of the Xuan Gui Sword Saint?”The King of Ten Thousand Elephants sucked in a breath of cold air, guessing so in his heart.
After all, his Thunder God Battle-axe Lance was also a very powerful Saint Weapon, apart from the Thousand Stripes Saint Weapon, what other battle weapon could hurt it?
Thus, it was only in the first instance that the Wanxiang King thought of the Monstrous Sword…?
Although the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword was also quite powerful and made of a special material, it was, after all, not as famous as the Monstrous Sky Sword.
