God Emperor

What had happened would never be concealed. Everyone in Blue Dragon Void World knew about this war.

“Zhang Ruochen went to Blue Dragon Dynasty and led a forceful army to crush both Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race and Ancient Necromancer Race, robbing all the valuables they obtained.”

The news was spread, shocking all the powers.

According to the news, Zhang Ruochen suppressed the two ancient races with only a couple of people to help him, robbing all the valuables.

Ancient Necromancer Race and Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race were both powerful races, and the alliance they formed was the most powerful human alliance in Kunlun’s Field.

However, such a powerful alliance was defeated by Zhang Ruochen and a small team led by him, which was surprising.

Zhang Ruochen was already stronger than they imagined.

All the powers who wanted to seize World Spirit were intimidated. If Zhang Ruochen decided to fight for the World Spirit, they would have a much lower chance.

A pre-saint from Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race showed up outside the capital. He said, “Zhang Ruochen is like a sharp blade. His sword technique might have surpassed that of Xue Wuye, and his mind power is greater than that of Sui Han, and his body strength can outmatch that of Monk Lidi and Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon. No one under state of saint can fight him anymore.”

That rumor alone made Zhang Ruochen four powerful enemies.

The monks from Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race knew for sure that they were not Zhang Ruochen’s match, so they tried to instigate others’ hate toward Zhang Ruochen to destroy him with a borrowed sword.

People cared about their reputations.

Aside from few who were aloof, most people cared about their reputations at some level.

Xue Wuye was a descendant of Sword Emperor, and he was called the best sword master, and he was also an heir, yet someone now claimed that Zhang Ruochen was better at sword techniques than him.

What would Xue Wuye think about that?

Sui Han was born in Zither Clan, one of the four holy places of Confucianism and Daoism. His mind power could match that of Emperor Wen eight hundred years ago. He was ranked number one in the test and became the rising star of First Central Empire.

Now, someone claimed Zhang Ruochen had better mind power than him.

What would Sui Han think?

Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon and Monk Lidi had the sturdiest body constitution under state of saint, and all the creatures wished to see them fight to decide who the stronger one was.

Now, someone claimed that Zhang Ruochen’s body constitution was better than that of Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon and Monk Lidi.

Even if Xue Wuye, Sui Han, Monk Lidi and Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon didn’t care about what other people thought, those who followed them would.

Monks from Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race thought that a mere rumor was not enough to put Zhang Ruochen to death.

On the same day, the princess from Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race showed up outside the capital city and said, “Zhang Ruochen’s personalities have completely changed. He’s become a cruel and bloodthirsty person, and he slaughtered many aboriginal people in the ancient city for the valuables. Almost one million aboriginal people were killed, and their bodies piled up like mountains. It was beyond tragic.”

What Feng Yinchan said led to a great storm.

Not only the human monks from Kunlun’s Field were in shock, the aboriginal great beings in the capital city were also furious.

Savage beasts and immortal vampires did commit massacre in Blue Dragon Void World, turning cities into slaughter houses.

However, the aboriginal people were also human beings in Blue Dragon Void World.

The human powers from Kunlun’s Field didn’t want to be known for killing their own people as they feared that they might be criticized by their enemies.

Which was why they all had constraint on their behavior and didn’t kill any ordinary human beings.

However, Zhang Ruochen became a massive murderer. He not only killed ordinary people, but also slaughtered everyone in the entire city.

This was madness.

“If Zhang Ruochen dared massacre all the people in a city in Blue Dragon Void World, he’s definitely going to be crueler back to Kunlun’s Field.”

“Zhang Ruochen is the devil. As long as we can kill him in Blue Dragon World, we can’t let him get back to Kunlun’s Field.”

…

Powers who previously had grudges against Zhang Ruochen also emerged, spreading rumors and instigating people’s hatred against Zhang Ruochen.

Feng Yinchan couldn’t be happier to see this as Zhang Ruochen had made too many enemies before.

Three hundred miles away from the capital city was a tent where all the monks from Moon Worship Demonic Sect gathered here.

Mu Lingxi heard of the rumor. She immediately walked out of the tent and confronted Feng Yinchan, “You Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race suffered from a huge defeat under Zhang Ruochen. You spread the rumor to provoke other powers to fight Zhang Ruochen with you because you know you’re not his match.”

Feng Yinchan stood at the top of a mountain and responded, “My race indeed suffered from a huge defeat this time, and all the valuable we obtained were robbed by Zhang Ruochen. However, I’m the princess of my race, and I’m a person with integrity. I would never vilify him.”

Feng Yinchan said it on purpose that Zhang Ruochen took away the valuables owned by Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race.

After all, telling people that Zhang Ruochen had obtained an immense number of valuables intrigued most people.

An innocent man could get into trouble because of his wealth.

Actually, Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race didn’t suffer from any losses. Zhang Ruochen only took away the valuables collected by Ancient Necromancer Race.

Mu Lingxi didn’t believe what Feng Yinchan said at all. She said, “Not long ago, Zhang Ruochen resisted nineteen beast kings all by himself in Yingsha City, saving countless lives of human monks. Now, you said that he’s become bloodthirsty and slaughtered an entire city of people, and you expected me to believe that?”

Feng Yinchan responded again, “What Zhang Ruochen did in the military base in Yingsha City was indeed amazing and worth praising. However, I just met him not long ago, and he’s now a completely different person. He’s so different from before, and I think it’s possibly because he has gone mad practicing Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm.”

Gone mad because of practicing Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm?

This wasn’t some lie randomly made up by Feng Yinchan. She gave it some thoughts before saying out loud.

After all, in the history of Thousand Buddha Way, many people had gone mad practicing Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm.

Death Zen Elder was the perfect example.

Six hundred years ago, Death Zen Elder used to be the peerless genius in Thousand Buddha Way. He was wholesome and had profound knowledges in Buddhist Way. Many people believed that he could be the second Emperor Buddha.

However, right after he completed the eleventh palm of Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm, the Masculine Qi inside his body could be suppressed anymore, and he went mad.

After a while, he betrayed Thousand Buddha Way and established Death Zen Sect, committing countless slaughtering in Kunlun’s Field, which was a catastrophe in the human history.

Those with greater gifts would be more damaging when they went off the wagon.

“Will Zhang Ruochen become the next Death Zen Elder?”

“Perhaps he’ll be more terrifying than Death Zen Elder.”

“I heard that Zhang Ruochen has already completed the tenth palm of Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm. Perhaps something did happen to him when he was practicing the eleventh palm.”

“Zhang Ruochen seized the valuables collected by Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race and Ancient Necromancer Race. He must have lots of wealth now. If we can get that…”

Many people chose to believe Feng Yinchan, after all, she was in a high social status in Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race as she was the princess. She might succeed to the throne.

An important person like that wouldn’t spread rumors in general.

Besides, both Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race and Ancient Necromancer Race had both submitted to the imperial government already, so they were demi-official powers, which made what Feng Yinchan said much more convincing.

Though Mu Lingxi didn’t believe what Feng Yinchan said, she was still worried about Zhang Ruochen. She was afraid that he might have actually gone mad when refining Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm and got doomed forever.

She hoped that Zhang Ruochen could show up as soon as possible to break the rumors.

However, after several days of waiting, Mu Lingxi still didn’t see Zhang Ruochen come to the capital city, which made her heart sink.

The rumor was spread more and more widely. The monks were running around, provoking people to encircle Zhang Ruochen to get the valuables from him.

Ten days later, Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon led tens of savage beast races to the suburban area of the capital city. After hearing about Zhang Ruochen, he said, “If he dares come to the capital city, I’ll be the one to kill him. He’s not strong enough to outmatch me.”

Monk Lidi also rushed to the suburban area of the capital city and mumbled, “If Donator Zhang really slaughtered all the aboriginal people because he went back by practicing Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm, I’ll also fight him and bring him to Brahma Way.”

The capital city of Blue Dragon Dynasty was at the intersection of the spiritual meridian in Blue Dragon Void World, and it also had the most solid fortress in the entire void world. Even the power from state of saint couldn’t break it.

More than half of the top-tier aboriginal great beings now gathered in the capital city.

A seven-dragon martial lord stood on top of the wall, claiming that he would kill Zhang Ruochen to revenge those who were lost.

None of the powers from Kunlun’s Field were able to break into the capital city. They could only wait in the suburban area, waiting for a great change to come, after which the guarding-city formation would be destroyed.

In the recent times, earthquakes kept happening in Blue Dragon Void World, leading to cracks that separated rivers and mountains. Lava burst out of some of the famous and beautiful mountains, turning the areas around them lifeless.

Blue Dragon Void World was very unstable, and it was going to crumble shortly.

After that, World Spirit would be born again.

…

Zhang Ruochen was refining divine blood in Scroll World, hitting the thirty-six apertures in his legs and feet.

There were two deity prints at the bottom of his feet. And they looked like a green luan and a red phoenix.

Zhang Ruochen mobilized the power of divine blood and infused it into the two deity prints. Gradually, the green luan deity print and the red phoenix deity print became clearer and clearer, and their sounds started to echo.

“Peng Peng.”

Using the power of the two deity prints, Zhang Ruochen opened all the forty apertures on his feet. There were seven apertures at the bottom of each foot, and they were arranged in the order of an astral picture.

It was way easier to open the fourteen apertures on his feet than to open the twenty-two apertures on his legs.

Zhang Ruochen kept absorbing divine blood and mobilizing the bloody Qi. After a short while, he opened all the thirty-six apertures.

Around half a year passed in Scroll World.

Zhang Ruochen sanctified all the thirty-six apertures on his legs and feet, and his cultivation had reached pinnacle level-eight half saint.

He stepped on the ground, mobilizing the bloody Qi inside his body. Suddenly, crimson fire started to gush out from the bottom of his feet, turning into two fiery clouds.

The fiery clouds looked like a green Luan and a red phoenix. From the distance, they seemed like two gigantic Taigu divine animals lying on the ground, holding a human being up.

“Finally, I’ve sanctified my legs and feet.”

The edge of Zhang Ruochen’s lips were curled up. He was in such a good mood and was content with his achievements. He thought. “I can suppress Qingtian Crown Prince who has sanctified one hundred and twenty-two apertures on body strength.”

Although Zhang Ruochen had only sanctified one hundred and eight apertures, his arms had refined dragon souls and elephant souls, and there were green Luan deity print and red phoenix deity print on both his feet. His body strength would only be more powerful than that of Qingtian Crown Prince.
