Zhang Ruochen took out a drop of the Dragon Emperor’s Blood and swallowed it into his mouth, then, he began to go all out in refining it, using the enormous power contained in the Dragon Emperor’s Blood to restore the consumed Saint Qi.
The Dragon Emperor’s Blood entered his body like a ball of fire, releasing a large amount of Saint Qi to make up for the depletion in his Qi Sea and meridians.
The Elephant Swallowing Rabbit asked, “Master Dust, how much longer will it take for your cultivation to fully recover?”
“Even if I swallow the Dragon Emperor’s blood, it should take three hours.”
With his current cultivation level, it was indeed too risky to execute the Thousand Stripes Destruction Strength, and once he exhausted his Saint Qi, he would not be able to recover at all for a while.
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze, stared towards the two parties that were fighting each other, every moment, a large number of soldiers fell in a pool of blood, never able to stand up again.
Immediately, his words changed and he said, “Perhaps, there is another way to recover your cultivation faster.”?Zhang Ruochen’s finger, on top of the spatial ring, gently touched it.
On the ring, there was a flash of light, and an elixir that emitted a faint white light appeared in the palm of Zhang Ruochen’s hand.
It was none other than the Sacred Origin Pill that he had bought from Ling Fei Yu.
All along, Zhang Ruochen had wanted to wait for a suitable time to adjust himself to his best state before taking the Sacred Elemental Pill and impacting to the Second Stage Half-Saint in one fell swoop.
Taking the Sacred Elemental Pill now was clearly not a good time.
However, the Undying Blood Clan and the Shi Clan’s soldiers were battling to the death, and no one knew how the battle would unfold next.
Thus, Zhang Ruochen had to restore his cultivation as soon as possible to deal with the unpredictable variables to come.
If he was able to borrow the Sacred Elemental Pill and make an impact to the Second Stage Half-Saint in one fell swoop, then the moment he broke through the realm, Zhang Ruochen would be able to absorb a large amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and regain his peak state.
Moreover, after the realm breakthrough, he would be even more powerful.
Although this move was quite risky, it was still worth it.
“Human brat, you’ve spoiled His Highness the Second Prince’s big event, today, this general will personally take yours down.”
An Immortal Blood Race general, wearing metal armour and holding a blade engraved with a skull mark, charged towards Zhang Ruochen.
This person’s cultivation, which reached the third stage of Half-Saint, wanted to take advantage of Zhang Ruochen’s weakened state to capture him and send him to the Second Prince to claim credit.
Zhang Ruochen raised his head and glanced towards the Immortal Blood Race’s general as he softly shouted out of his mouth, “Nine Beheading Electric Blade.”
Huge spiritual energy condensed in the palm of Zhang Ruochen’s right hand.
In an instant, thousands of purple electric lines appeared within a radius of a hundred feet.
As Zhang Ruochen’s palm, swung out, those electric patterns converged into nine blades, which flew out one after another, sending that Undying Blood Race’s general flying backwards for a distance of tens of feet.
The Immortal Blood Race’s general, who only felt pain and numbness in his arms, had a look of shock on his face as he said, “With your cultivation level, how could you still have the power to fight back after executing a strike of the Thousand Ripple Destruction Power?”
Zhang Ruochen retracted his spiritual power and said, “Even if, my entire body’s Saint Qi has been depleted, it would be as easy as a slap in the face to clean you up.”
“Arrogant.”
That general of the Immortal Blood Race let out a strange sound wave from his mouth.
“Swish swish.”
A moment later, two other Immortal Blood Race generals of the Second Stage Half-Saint realm led two Immortal Blood Race Fish Dragon realm cultivators, who immediately flew over and surrounded Zhang Ruochen.
“Human brat, do you still dare to go wild now?”That Third Stage Half-Saint Realm Immortal Blood Race general sneered.
All the Immortal Blood Race cultivators stood according to a strange rule and formed a combined attack formation, closing in on Zhang Ruochen.
“Master Dust, let me go clean them up.”
The Elephant Swallowing Rabbit had long been impatient, and in its eyes, it was not the three Immortal Blood Race’s Demi-Saints that stood in front of it, but rather, it was the three clusters of Demi-Saint’s Light that were suspended in front of it.
Thud!
Zhang Ruochen knocked on the top of the Devouring Rabbit’s head to wake it up, saying, “Your mission is to protect me, as long as my cultivation, returns to its full strength, there will be no shortage of your Demi-Saint’s Light.”
Afterwards, Zhang Ruochen released the Devil Ape from the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram and said, “Devil Ape, go and clean up all of them.”
Right when he released the Devil Ape, Zhang Ruochen took the Sacred Elemental Pill and operated the Nine Heavens Bright Emperor Scripture’s Technique, going all out to cultivate.
“Ow.”
The cultivation level of the Devil Ape had already reached the Fourth Stage Semi-Saint, with a body that stood more than a hundred metres tall, and every single long hair was like a metallic steel needle.
As the Devil Ape stamped its foot on the ground, a circle of ebony black Devil Fiendish Qi surged out in all directions, sending all the dirt and stones on the ground flying.
The combined attack formation set up by the Immortal Blood Clan, in an instant, fell apart, and apart from the three Half-Saint Generals, the rest of the Immortal Blood Clan all spat blood from their mouths and suffered heavy injuries.
“What a powerful beast, this general is here to meet you.”
That Third Order Half-Saint realm Immortal Blood Race General, transforming into a bloody light, rose up into the sky and slashed down diagonally, chopping at the Demonic Ape’s neck.
“Boom.”?The Saint Artifact level blade slashed at the Demonic Ape’s neck, but only managed to cut out a half-foot deep wound, unable to go any deeper.
“How could the defence be so strong?”
That general of the Immortal Blood Race, his face changed, and he immediately retracted his blade, gathering holy qi once again, and was about to chop out a second strike when the Devil Ape’s large hand, however, grabbed his body first.
Five fingers as thick as pillars, violently pinched, and then, resounded “popping” sound of bone popping.
The general of the Immortal Blood Race, his whole body’s bones were broken, turning into a soft lump of flesh, even his eyeballs were protruding out, his death was quite miserable.
The Demonic Ape collected the Half-Saint’s Light from the meat slime and threw it into its mouth.
Afterwards, its pair of eyes the size of copper bells stared towards the other two Immortal Blood Race generals and let out an explosive roar.
The Devil Ape’s defence and physical strength were both quite strong, far surpassing human cultivators at the fourth-stage Half-Saint realm, stunning the two Immortal Blood Race generals.
“Go.”
They didn’t dare to fight with the Demonic Ape and immediately spread their wings and fled the place. Capturing Zhang Ruochen was indeed a great achievement, but they were not guilty of losing their lives for it.
The Devil Ape’s feet stomped and hurriedly chased after them, wanting to kill them and seize the Half-Saint’s Light.
The Elephant Swallowing Rabbit wanted to swallow the Half-Saint’s Light and impact the Fifth Order Half-Saint, so why wouldn’t the Devil Ape want to do the same?
“What a fast chase.”
The two Immortal Blood Race generals, each taking out a scroll of holy orders, erupted with the speed only a Saint could have and rushed behind the Second Prince.
“Your Highness the Second Prince, the giant ape raised by that human kid is very powerful, the two of my subordinates are no match for it.”One of the Immortal Blood Race generals said with great shame.
The other Immortal Blood Race general, who looked quite eager and kept leaving cold sweat on his forehead, said, “Please, Your Highness the Second Prince, take action and suppress it.”
The Second Prince, however, appeared calm and collected, glancing at them coldly, “Look at that little bit of talent you have.”
He then added, “Leave this place to this prince, the two of you go deal with the other enemies and make sure to drag the soldiers of the Prison Suppressing Ancient Race in Golden Bird City.”
After the second prince gave the order, he unfolded a pair of silver-coloured fleshy wings and flew in the direction of the Demonic Ape.
The Devil Ape sensed the powerful aura from the Immortal Blood Clan’s Second Prince and immediately waved its arms, and in its chest, it violently hammered several blows.
Its originally very large body actually grew a large amount taller, as if it had transformed into a towering black mountain.
A fist that contained the devilish aura fell from above, striking at the Second Prince who was flying at a rapid speed.
“Lol, not self-conscious.”
The Second Prince’s palm, pressed towards the front.
Immediately, in front of the palm print, a huge bloody hand print condensed and collided with the demonic ape’s fist.
“Boom” sound.
The Devil Ape suffered from the impact of the palm force, and its huge body shook violently as it continuously retreated backwards.
“To actually be able to block this Emperor’s palm, it’s really stronger than a normal sixth rank savage beast.”
The Second Prince once again gathered his strength and struck out a second palm imprint.
This time, the palm force was even stronger, and even his palm was bubbling with flames, transforming into a fire cloud in the form of five fingers.
“Swish.”
Right at this moment, Zhang Ruochen flew up from the back of the Elephant Swallowing Rabbit and landed on the left shoulder of the Demonic Ape, flicking his finger and sending a black elixir out.
Below, the Second Prince’s face changed slightly when he saw the black elixir, and he immediately withdrew his palms, stomped his legs on the ground, and sprinted backwards a distance of more than ten miles.
“Boom.”?The black elixir, burst apart, emitting a cloud of deathly evil aura, corroding the ground’s soil into black as well.
“Hurry up and leave this place.”Zhang Ruochen said to the Demon Ape.
“Right! You’re no match for him, that Second Prince of the Immortal Blood Clan is quite powerful, even if we join forces, we’re probably not going to lose miserably.”The Devouring Rabbit stood on the right shoulder of the Devil Ape and said rather nervously.
Within the nostrils of the Devil Ape, two tubes of white gas gushed out, then, turning his body, he took huge steps and rushed out into the endless mountain forest.
The Second Prince glanced towards the Death Evil Qi on the ground and doubts arose in his heart, ”How did Zhang Ruochen obtain the Death Evil Qi? Moreover, he doesn’t seem to be afraid of the Death Evil Qi at all.”
Although, the Second Prince was quite afraid of the Death Evil Qi, he knew very well that he could not let Zhang Ruochen escape no matter what.
The current Zhang Ruochen, who was definitely quite weak, was the best time to seize the Monstrous Sky Sword.
The Second Prince unfolded his wings and flapped them, kicking up a fierce wind force as he chased after him.
Zhang Ruochen stood on top of the Devil Ape’s shoulder, dividing half of his energy to refine the Sacred Elemental Pill and impact the Second Stage Half-Saint realm.
Splitting the other half of his energy, he always paid attention to the direction behind him. Who knew when the Second Prince of the Immortal Blood Race would chase after them?
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen had already refined a large portion of the Sacred Elemental Pill, and the Sacred Qi in his body had recovered by about fifty percent.
The Dragon Emperor’s blood was also burning crazily in the meridians and sacred veins, transforming into Sacred Qi and Blood Qi, causing Zhang Ruochen’s body to be filled with power.
“We must rush to the Second Stage Half-Saint realm before the Second Prince of the Immortal Blood Race catches up.”
Zhang Ruochen let out a low roar from deep within his heart as the muscles of his entire body tensed and the Saint Qi in his body operated faster and faster.
“Zhang Ruochen, you are the holder of the Monstrous Heavenly Sword, the heir to the Xuan Gui Sword Saint, why do you only know how to run away, if you have the ability to fight with this Imperial Prince, let’s see whose sword dao is more superior?”
The Second Prince’s voice came from the sky with a few hints of teasing and sarcasm.
Immediately after, a bloody sword cut through the sky, pierced through the clouds, and chopped down towards the legs of the Demonic Ape that was running rapidly.
Zhang Ruochen was not an impulsive person, but at this moment, he had to strike.
“Sinking Abyss.”
Within Zhang Ruochen’s body, a powerful sword intent comparable to that of a Sword Saint surged out, controlling the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword and intercepting it towards the flying bloody sword.
“Boom!”
The two holy swords clashed fiercely, and instantly, two chaotic waves of sword energy flew out in all directions.
The blood sword struck by the Second Prince was clearly not an ordinary Hundred Stripes Saint Weapon, and the powerful force that erupted from it actually shook the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword away.
The blood sword continued to fall, chopping at the right leg of the demonic ape, and with a “pfft” sound, two thirds of the thigh was chopped off, with blood pouring out of the wound like a stream.
Because of the heavy damage to the leg, the Devil Ape’s centre of gravity was unbalanced, and it planted itself forward, knocking a large mountain down, emitting a loud “rumbling” sound, and immediately after, its huge body collapsed onto the ground.
