God Emperor

Zhang Ruochen stared at Huang Yanchen’s back with mixed feelings. He said, “You shouldn’t have come here.”

Huang Yanchen took two steps back, standing right beside Zhang Ruochen, glaring at the beast kings vigilantly in front of her, “Since we’re together, we’ll be together forever. Not even death can separate us.”

“If that’s the case, I’ll kill you both.”

Two green light pillars gushed out of the antlers of Mud Deer Beast King, surging to the sky and forming a cyan cloud.

There were layers of cyan clouds, covering the sky above Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen, as if they were cyan threads sheltering the sky and land.

The light pillars that gushed out of the antlers had the power of light, resonating with the rules in Blue Dragon Void World.

The beast kings immediately retreated after seeing this scene as they knew that Mud Deer Beast King was about to perform an impressive divine technique. They would be in danger too if they were too close to it.

Just as they stepped away, they also stationed themselves at several other spots, encircling Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen to prevent them from running away.

“Apocalyptic Demonic Light,” Mud Deer Beast King yelled.

The cyan clouds spun in the sky, forming a whirlpool.

Fierce wind started to blow several hundred square miles around them. Green mist pressed toward the ground from the sky, making humming sounds.

A cyan light pillar shot down from the center of the whirlpool, hitting the ground.

The energy ripples emanating from the cyan light pillar were as powerful as Destruction of the Thousand-patterns. If it hit the ground, it would level a city with guarding formation as ordinary guarding formation wasn’t powerful enough to ward it off.

“Black Tortoise Holy Divination.”

Huang Yanchen waved her divine sword, and the phantom of a black tortoise as large as a mountain showed up, covering her and Zhang Ruochen.

There was an ancient divination mark on the back of the phantom of the black tortoise.

The divination mark kept spinning, and a cyan light pillar surged to the sky.

Hong Long.

Two cyan light pillars clashed.

Two powerful forces neutralized each other, and they formed a layer of green air waves three thousand feet above the ground.

“I can’t believe she’s able to resist the Apocalyptic Demonic Light from Mud Deer Beast King. That woman has some power,” Shizu Bird Beast King said.

Although Mud Deer Beast King was weaker than Golden Scorpioin King and Kui Bull Beast King, it was definitely ranked top five among the beast kings.

Apocalyptic Demonic Light was an innate saint spell inherited from the ancestors of mud deer. It was invincible, and it was not an easy task to ward it off.

The so-called ‘innate saint spells’ were some of the most powerful saint spells passed on by the ancestors of savage beasts. They were branded in their bloodline so that they could be passed down for generations.

The descendants of that race inherited the bloodline of their ancestors, and when they reached a certain level, the refined techniques of saint spells would emerge in their heads.

“That woman is extremely powerful. Mud Deer Beast King might not be able to take her down soon. Let’s team up again and kill them both,” Kui Bull Beast King said.

The beast kings breathed out Holy Qi from their mouths, infusing it into their ancestral devices so that they could end the fight as quickly as possible.

This was a war that should’ve been ended a long time ago.

Another unexpected thing happened. A golden Emperor Qi spread from the west.

The Emperor Qi was potent, swallowing the cyan clouds. Each curl of Qi was in the shape of a golden dragon, making earth-shattering dragon sounds.

An heir stamp was covered at the center of Emperor Qi. That heir stamp was as large as a small city.

The heir stamp fell from the sky, hitting toward several beast kings.

And then, Beigong Lan descended, stepping on a divine sword. She said, “Sister Huang, leave with Zhang Ruochen now. We’ll take it from here.”

Another heir stamp arrived from another direction. It also triggered Emperor Qi and knocked away three beast kings.

Chi Wansui walked out from the heir stamp, standing there like a God of War, wearing armor.

Chi Wansui was indeed weaker than Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon. However, he was more than enough to fight ordinary beast kings.

After leading the human monks out of the encirclement, Beigong Lan and Chi Wansui came back.

Chi Wansui shot Zhang Ruochen a cold glance and said, “What you did today is impressive, and it’s worth me saving your life. However, after today, the grudges between us will still need to be settled.”

Zhang Ruochen put on a faint smile without exchanging any courtesies.

Today, all the human monks had to unite against their mutual enemies. That was the only way for them to survive.

After today, Zhang Ruochen and Chi Wansui would still be foes, and there was no way that they would become friends. Nothing could ever change that.

There weren’t many people who were pure evil. It was subjective as people belonged to different teams.

There weren’t many people who were good. People teamed up because they could share benefits.

The fact that Chi Wansui came back to fight the beast kings meant that he wasn’t totally evil. He still had some principles, and he deserved the identity of an heir.

Huang Yanchen also wielded her heir stamp, making the most powerful attack and knocking away Mud Deer Beast King.

As Chi Wansui and Beigong Lan held the beast kings up, Huang Yanchen opened a saint decree. She took Zhang Ruochen and flew away.

Mud Deer Beast King was hit by the heir stamp, which caused a bloody hole on its head. It was injured and struggled to get up.

“She’s also a human heir.”

Mud Deer Beast King breathed out a golden antler, enduring the pain on its head.

The golden antler was an ancestral device of the mud deer race. It could trigger the power of an ancestor so that the user could be as fast as a saint.

“Don’t you dare run.”

The golden light emanating from the antler enveloped Mud Deer Beast King. It raced toward Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen like a golden light shuttle.

Huang Yanchen triggered her saint decree four times. After flying four times, she made it tens of thousands of miles away.

They stopped flying as Huang Yanchen found that Zhang Ruochen was severely injured. If he wasn’t treated properly, his life might be in danger.

Actually, Zhang Ruochen had already hit his limit. If Huang Yanchen hadn’t gotten there in time, the attack from Mud Deer Beast King would have killed him.

Zhang Ruochen fell into the arms of Huang Yanchen as he couldn’t go on anymore.

“Don’t fall into sleep! If you do, you might never be able to wake up again.” Huang Yanchen pressed the back of Zhang Ruochen, infusing him with her Holy Qi.

Zhang Ruochen was pale like a piece of paper, but he was still smiling. He said, “I was finally saved by others for once. I feel fantastic! How will I fall asleep? Haha!”

Zhang Ruochen kept coughing after talking.

Even though Zhang Ruochen was almost coughing his heart out, he didn’t cough out any blood, as there wasn’t much blood in his system already.

“Stop flaunting your power. Do you really think you’re unkillable?”

Huang Yanchen looked concerned.

Zhang Ruochen stopped smiling and said, “If I don’t push my limit, how will I know my potential? I need to work harder as the situation is just going to be worse. If I can’t get stronger, those around me will keep dying. I don’t want to see that day come, and besides, if I don’t put in enough effort, how can I catch up with her? How am I supposed to kill her?”

Huang Yanchen looked confused, yet Zhang Ruochen was too weak to sense that.

She asked, “Who is she? The empress?”

Zhang Ruochen nodded and closed his eyes.

“Don’t close your eyes. Keep talking to me about what happened between you and the Empress.” Huang Yanchen took out a Withered Pill. Zhang Ruochen took the pill, and Huang Yanchen kept infusing him with Holy Qi.

She was worried that Zhang Ruochen might be put into a slumber.

Zhang Ruochen recovered a bit after absorbing the efficacy of the Withered Pill. He then kept talking to Huang Yanchen about what had happened more than eight hundred years ago.

After a near-death experience, Zhang Ruochen started to open up to Huang Yanchen about the stories and people he was the most reluctant to share.

Mud Deer Beast King caught up with them shortly after Zhang Ruochen started sharing.

“You can’t run anywhere.”

Mud Deer Beast King arrived like a golden light shuttle. It hit the ground, which sank.

Huang Yanchen stood up, flexed her fingers and held the heir stamp on her palm, staring at Mud Deer Beast King.

Zhang Ruochen supported his body with his arms and sat up. He smiled at Mud Deer Beast King. “I can’t believe you’re stupid enough to walk into your own death.”

“My own death?”

Mud Deer Beast King guffawed, “You can’t even stand up, yet you still dare be so arrogant? That woman is not my match at all.”

“What about me?”

Blackie raced toward them, landed on the ground and retracted its wings.

Zhang Ruochen had sensed Blackie a long time ago, so he knew Blackie was nearby.

Other than Blackie, there were others coming to help.

“And me, Sikong One.”

“Me, Sikong Two.”

“And me, Sun Dadi. We should be more than enough to fight you.”

Sikong One, Sikong Two and Sun Dadi all performed physical techniques and raced toward Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen from the horizon, encircling Mud Deer Beast King.

“You, you humans… You’re sly! If you dare, then fight me one to one.”

Mud Deer Beast King realized that it was at a severe disadvantage now. Its face turned green and it kept stepping back.

Where did all these human great beings come from? How did I become the one who was encircled?

Every dog has its day, but this just happened too quickly.
