God Emperor

“Hua La!”

Mysterious Hedgehog Beast King stood among the black mist, and it was more than a hundred feet tall. It was a black hedgehog. It opened its mouth wide and exhaled toward Zhang Ruochen.

Inside the Holy Qi condensed more than one hundred lightning bolts, turning into a highly destructive electric river.

In another direction, two beast kings utilized ancestral devices at the same time, triggering ancient power.

One of the ancestral devices was a crimson antelope horn which was more than twenty feet long. It was extremely pointy. There were blazing flames gushing out of the horn, covering the sky within tens of square miles with fiery clouds.

The other ancestral device was a jade that was as large as a water tank, and the energy ripples coming from that tank were larger than those from the antelope horn.

All the seven beast kings performed their powerful techniques, and each technique was earth-shattering and terrifying.

Even the human monks who were standing hundreds of miles away could feel the danger as there might be strong repercussion gliding through them.

Even the repercussion was enough to kill them.

At the center was Zhang Ruochen fighting seven beast kings, and nobody knew how long he could last.

Zhang Ruochen was under lots of pressure, and he couldn’t be more cautious and concentrated.

“Space distortion.”

Zhang Ruochen waved his hands, forming circles of half-transparent ripples, yet they all deviated and didn’t fall on Zhang Ruochen.

Certainly, it wasn’t an easy task to resolve the attacks from all the seven beast kings, even with the space power he had.

Zhang Ruochen had consumed lots of Holy Qi. If he kept fighting those seven beast kings like that, he would die after running out of Holy Qi even if he could survive the seven beast kings.

He stopped defending and started to attack. Zhang Ruochen took a step forward and performed spatial move, getting out of the encirclement of the seven savage beasts and arriving above Mud Deer Beast King.

“Hua!”

He slashed down with his Abyss Ancient Sword, which left a trace of black sword light more than sixty feet long. It was arc-shaped and looked much like a black moon falling from the sky.

Mud Deer Beast King was horrified. It immediately used an ancestral device that looked like a triangular shield, resisting the attack from Zhang Ruochen.

The Abyss Ancient Sword slashed down beside the ancestral device shield, making a shrill noise and gleaming flares.

Mud Deer Beast King took a couple of steps back as it felt terrified.

It was alarmingly dangerous just now. If it didn’t dodge it perfectly in time, it would either be killed or be severely injured.

Spatial power was indeed bizarre. It could go beyond the space, distort the space and tear the space apart.

Zhang Ruochen’s skills left all the beast kings dazzled, and they couldn’t take him down in a short while.

“If that Time and Space Descendant matures, he will definitely become a major enemy of all the savage beasts,” a beast king said about Zhang Ruochen.

“Empress Chi Yao alone is powerful enough to suppress all the savage beasts for hundreds of years. If that Time and Space Descendant becomes a supreme saint, savage beasts will be subjugated in the next thousand years,” another beast king said.

Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon was also paying attention to what was happening in the war zone. It gave an order to beast kings who were not fighting Zhang Ruochen, “Other beast kings, get back to Yingsha City now. As long as I am here, the Time and Space Descendant will certainly die.”

“Rest assured, lord demonic dragon. We will definitely kill all the human monks.”

The other eleven beast kings rushed toward Yingsha City.

At this moment, Zhang Ruochen was checked by the seven savage beasts. He was even unable to fend for himself. It seemed that he would die soon, so there would be no one able to ward them off.

Zhang Ruochen shot a glance at those eleven beast kings, and he started to think rapidly.

“Great spatial Move.”

Zhang Ruochen moved his body and transported himself tens of miles away, catching up with a beast king that had turned into its human shape.

“Where are you going?” Zhang Ruochen yelled.

That beast king was from the Teng Snake Clan, and she was a beautiful woman wearing black armor in its human form. Her waist was flexible and thin, and her skin was bronze-colored.

She had already passed the second pre-saint trial, and she was also a descendant of divine beasts, carrying the bloodline of divine beasts. She was naturally powerful.

Teng Snake Beast King was shocked that Zhang Ruochen suddenly showed up.

At this moment…

“Hua!”

Zhang Ruochen performed Scales Sword Technique, combining the time mark and his sword technique, piercing toward the eyebrows of Teng Snake Beast King.

The pace of time was slowed around Zhang Ruochen, yet his sword moved faster.

“Pu Chi.”

Teng Snake Beast King didn’t even have time to resist it. Her head was pierced through by Zhang Ruochen. Blood splashed.

“No.”

Zhang Ruochen realized that something was wrong. He put his sword back, kicked his legs and bounced back.

Even though Zhang Ruochen was exceptionally quick, he was still one step late.

Teng Snake Beast King’s long legs became a snake tail, and her waist became the body of a snake, and her hands became black flesh wings. Her body quickly bulged and became a ferocious Teng snake more than a hundred feet long.

She swung her snake tail and whipped toward Zhang Ruochen, carrying saint light.

Zhang Ruochen used his sword to ward it off and resolve most of the power. He stepped three hundred feet back before he could balance himself again. His right hand was injured between his thumb and his index finger, where it started to bleed.

Teng Snake Beast King stood up, and she reeked of blood. She said with a cold voice, “My lower abdomen is not between my eyebrows. Even if you pierce through, you can only injure me. You can’t kill me.”

Zhang Ruochen was indeed a bit disappointed for not being able to kill Teng Snake Beast King.

However, what Zhang Ruochen really wanted to do was to stop Teng Snake Beast King from leaving. Injuring her was enough to achieve that goal.

The eleven beast kings rushing back to Yingsha City didn’t realize that Zhang Ruochen could catch up with them this soon and injure Teng Snake Beast King.

“Doesn’t that Time and Space Descendant fear death? Does he really think that he alone is powerful enough to stop all the beast kings?”

Many beast kings felt speechless as they had never met such a dedicated human monk.

Zhang Ruochen performed Great Spatial Move, dashing toward the beast king at the front. He was standing in the sky, creating a space crack and slashing toward that beast king.

That beast king sensed the danger ahead of time. It stopped and dodged the attack.

Even so, the power from the space crack still scared that beast king. It was only a couple of feet away from the space crack, and it almost died.

Zhang Ruochen kept making attacks, and whoever was at the front would be hit by the space power or the time sword techniques.

Two beast kings couldn’t dodge the attacks in time, and they got severely injured.

Although beast kings were still rushing toward Yingsha City, they were heavily slowed down.

It would originally take them fifteen minutes to make it back to Yingsha City.

Now, it might take them more than an hour to get back.

“Let’s team up and kill Zhang Ruochen, then we’ll go back to Yingsha City.”

“This sucks! We’re being chased by a young human being! Let’s kill him first!”

…

Zhang Ruochen seized this chance as all the beast kings were trying to get back to Yingsha City.

The beast kings were naturally furious. Instead of hurrying on their way, they stopped and took out their ancestral devices to lock the space within a hundred square miles around them.

“I’ll lock the space. Let’s see how long you can last.” Teng Snake Beast King made a cold voice.

Zhang Ruochen was standing in the spacious desert. He was holding a sword in one hand and the heir stamp in the other, gazing into the distance at the ancestral devices.

He could feel a suffocating and deadly power exerted on him.

“It’s been an hour. How are things in Yingsha City going?”

Zhang Ruochen decided to try his best to win another fifteen minutes.

“Hou!”

A deafening dragon sound blasted in the clouds, after which Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon emerged, flying slowly above Zhang Ruochen.

“No! Those beast kings have frozen the space using their ancestral devices. Zhang Ruochen won’t be able to make it out. If Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon makes an attack at Zhang Ruochen, he’ll have to resist it directly.”

All the human monks were worried.

They knew that the biggest trump card Zhang Ruochen had was the power of space.

Only with that power could Zhang Ruochen obstruct all the beast kings as a mere level-seven half saint.

But now, he had lost the power of space already. Nobody knew how many attacks from Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon Zhang Ruochen could ward off.

Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon said, “Honestly, the power you showed is indeed amazing. Even during the Taigu era, I haven’t seen a human being as strong as you. If we were at the same level, I don’t think I’d be your match.”

“Really?”

Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath, trying to look calm.

Actually, Zhang Ruochen had been injured when he tried to stop all the beast kings. However, he tried to suppress his injuries completely as he didn’t want to show his weaknesses.

He intended to look tough, so he needed to be like that all the way.

Which was why some heroes would still stand even after they were killed. Their bodies alone were enough to intimidate their enemies.

Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon said, “However, you don’t have the chance to get to my level anymore. You can die now!”

“Hong Long.”

Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon pressed down, and all the Holy Qi gushed away. Even the space structure was cracked.

The attack from the Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon was already as powerful as that of a lower-class saint.

“Sword Five.”

Zhang Ruochen infused his Abyss Ancient Sword with Holy Qi inside him.

Inscriptions emerged from the sword, and black sword light gushed out like a pillar, surging to the sky.

All the one thousand inscriptions were triggered, and Destruction of the Thousand-patterns burst out.

“Hua!”

Zhang Ruochen merged with the Abyss Ancient Sword, and he had reached state of Human Sword. He stepped on the ground, turning into a light shuttle and clashing with the dragon claw falling from the sky.
