God Emperor

Ten days passed quickly. Martial Saint Canglan used the Divine Qi of the tree and entered the Heaven Pass Realm. As time passed, her level gradually stabilized.

Stepping into the Heaven Pass Realm is really like crossing into heaven with one step. It feels like I’ve just walked out of a quagmire. I feel entirely relaxed.

Martial Saint Canglan opened her pretty eyes. There were two balls of fire burning in them. Beams of fire rules spread out as if she wanted to burn this entire land.

Her control of power was very precise. She retracted the flames immediately when they reached 30 feet.

Zhang Ruochen is still cultivating.

Martial Saint Canglan could tell that Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation had improved greatly too. He wasn’t far from the later stages of an upper Saint now.

Ten days ago, he was only in the beginning stages. This kind of cultivation speed was indeed dumbfounding.

Whoosh!

The Time and Space Martial Deity Print emerged from Zhang Ruochen’s forehead. It spun slowly like a spatial door.

Thud, thud.

Guoguo and the Demon Ape flew out of the deity print. They landed on the ground like rubber balls and rolled into the distance, screaming.

Zhang Ruochen opened his eyes as well, waking up. “Scream. Scream as much as you want. It’s best if you wake up all the God-swallowing Bugs.”

Guoguo and the Demon Ape stared at the balls of blue fire on the Divine Sky-connecting Tree in the distance. They instantly covered their mouths, not even daring to breathe loudly. Their eyes kept lolling around.

Before coming out, Zhang Ruochen had already explained the situation to them, so they knew how powerful the God-swallowing Bugs were.

Zhang Ruochen kicked Guoguo’s furry butt. “Don’t be scared. Go bring the tree trunk over and I’ll forgive your misgivings.”

Guougo knelt on the ground and shook its head with a pitiful expression. It was actually crying.

“Aren’t you two powerful? Not even the formation outside the medicine garden can stop you. Isn’t moving the Divine Sky-connecting Tree easy too?”

The Demon Ape knelt on the ground and kowtowed firmly. “Master, I know I was wrong. I won’t do it again. Please forgive us. Don’t make us go on a suicide mission.”

Guoguo also prostrated itself and kowtowed to Zhang Ruochen.

Martial Saint Canglan stood to the side, furrowing her brows. Where did Zhang Ruochen suddenly get these two cute animals from?

It seems like Zhang Ruochen’s body is an independent space, Martial Saint Canglan thought. As expected of the Time and Space Descendant. He really does have many secrets.

Zhang Ruochen was obviously just scaring Guoguo and the Demon Ape. He didn’t actually want them to go die.

The main reason for taking them out was to have them pick the saintly medicines in the garden on Wuyuan Island. The dangerous environment formed by the Supreme Saint’s formation was punishment for them. Picking the medicine would make up for the garden’s losses.

As for the Divine Sky-connecting Tree…

Zhang Ruochen raised his head. Looking at the enormous tree trunk, he said, “It’s best not to take the risk with our current cultivation. We can take it when we get stronger.”

The two beasts nodded firmly. “You are wise,” they said in unison.

They left, going back to the blue palace. As soon as they walked out of the formation shield, Saintess Liuli went over. She looked very worried. “Martial Saint, Lord Zhang, how come you only came out now?”

“What happened?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

“Yesterday, Qing Mo received a communication rune and learned that Princess Yanchen and the Ancient Race of Prison Guardians are being chased by Immortal Vampires. We waited for a long time but you never came out, so she hurried over with the golden cobra.”

Xianji Mountain had a special environment. Communication runes couldn’t fly out, but they could come in from the outside.

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes turned cold. Strong worry emerged in him. “Where is the communication rune?”

Saintess Liuli hurriedly took it out and gave it to Zhang Ruochen. He scanned the content as fast as possible. It was indeed sent by Huang Yanchen. Before sending the message, she was in the Thousand Mountain Range.

Martial Saint Canglan clearly knew Huang Yanchen’s position in Zhang Ruochen’s heart. Worried that he would act impulsively, she said, “It’s already been one day and one night. If you hurry over now, you’ll definitely be late! The Immortal Vampires aren’t attacking Huang Yanchen to kill her. They’re only doing it to capture you. If you go there, you’ll fall into their trap.”

Saintess Liuli was also worried about Zhang Ruochen. “The Immortal Vampires are extremely powerful in the north. They have many strong cultivators. Going by yourself is like hitting a rock with an egg. You must calm down.”

“Calm down?” The Demon Ape roared with red eyes. “Whoever dares to touch Princess Yanchen is the enemy of the entire Sacred Sect. Master, let’s go right now and destroy them!”

Guoguo clearly also knew that this was the best chance to make up for their mistakes. It pounded its chest and said, “Master, make the decision and we’ll go anywhere with you, whether it be knife mountains or seas of fire. We’ll rescue Mistress no matter what.”

“Let’s go!”

Zhang Ruochen put the communication rune away. Murderous intent flared in his eyes. People always tried challenging his bottom line. This time, he would overturn the world.

Martial Saint Canglan chased after him, wanting to stop him. “Zhang Ruochen, can’t you listen to me? You can’t be impulsive. Huang Yanchen is the heir of the Eastern Region Saint Academy and one of the Nine Heirs. The imperial court won’t just sit and watch.”

Roar!

There was a deafening dragon roar. A 20-mile-long black dragon appeared. It soared into the air, radiating with horrible demonic Qi.

Zhang Ruochen stood on the dragon’s head like an overlooking demon god and disappeared into the clouds.

The six Saintesses rushed out. They stood beside Martial Saint Canglan with expressions of disbelief.

“Isn’t that the Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon of Ancient Dragon Mountain? How come it’s Zhang Ruochen’s ride now?”

“Are there two Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragons in Kunlun’s Field?”

…

Saintess Liuli was very worried about Zhang Ruochen’s safety. “Martial Saint…,” she urged.

Martial Saint Canglan’s eyes were sharp. “It must be Situ Fengcheng. He knows that Zhang Ruochen has Zhu Qingyi, so he sent someone to capture Huang Yanchen and counter Zhang Ruochen. The final duel must be between them.

“You six, hurry to the Ministry of War and report this to the Heavenly Kings. Have them stop the Saint Kings of the Immortal Vampires. Don’t let them go through Zhilin Pass.”

“What about you?” Saintess Liuli asked.

“Since it’s highly possible that Situ Fengcheng planned this, I’ll go check out the fun too.”

A pair of phoenix wings sprouted on Martial Saint Canglan’s back. A sea of red fire surrounded her instantly.

Next, there was a phoenix’s cry. The sea of fire shot into the sky. She flew out of Xianji Mountain, hurrying toward the Thousand Mountain Range.

Thousand Mountain Range was at the border of Red River Mansion. It neighbored Front Island Mansion and was close to 200,000 miles from Xianji Mountain. It was neither far nor close.

Zhang Ruochen stood on the demonic dragon’s head. Anger burned within him. “Yanchen has so many Blood-Repression Runes. It won’t be so easy to get captured. You must survive until I get there…”

That day, the cultivators of Red River Mansion were all very shocked. They saw a demonic dragon and fire phoenix fly above them in one day. The auras from the two beasts forced them to prostrate themselves on the ground, not daring to move.

They didn’t stand up until the demonic dragon and phoenix flew far away. “The world has become so frightening,” they lamented. “Even true dragons and phoenixes have come out. Is the Kunlun’s Field returning to the middle ages?”

When Zhang Ruochen reached Thousand Mountain Range, it was already late at night.

Under the moonlight, he could see that the land had been ravaged. Smoke was everywhere and chaotic energy from the Saintly Way filled the air. Mountains had been melted into lava by the flames. Some places had also been ripped apart and turned into canyons.

A tremendous battle had occurred here. Zhang Ruochen discovered the corpses of the Ancient Race of Prison Guardians in the bottom of a canyon. Their blood had all been sucked dry, turning the bodies into mummies.

“One thought connects, search thousand miles.”

Zhang Ruochen opened his hands and released his Spiritual Power to the max. It spread 30,000 miles before he discovered Qing Mo and Huang Yanchen’s auras.

He used the Great Spatial Move and was 200 miles away in an instant. He then used the Great Spatial Move again. He just wanted to get there as fast as possible.

Roar!

Guoguo transformed into the Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon. The Demon Ape transformed into the 1,300-foot-tall giant ape. They followed close behind Zhang Ruochen while roaring. They seemed even more furious than Zhang Ruochen.

…

The land within 1,000 miles of the Thousand Mountain Range was shrouded in bloody Qi. The dirt had turned to blood too. The smell of blood filled the air.

A large group of strong Immortal Vampires gathered together, surrounding a battered ancient city.

“Disgusting,” a Blood Saint with a lightning mark on his forehead said coldly. “That bitch Huang Yanchen actually has a rune scroll designed specifically to counter us. We suffered such great losses.”

This man was from the Huangtian Tribe. His cultivation was at the peak of the Heaven Pass Realm and was known as Blood Saint Chilei.

Blood Saint Sijian’s eyes were dark. “Now you know why all our soldiers died when I went to capture her the first time, right? That rune scroll is our race’s kryptonite. The general has already ordered that we must capture Huang Yanchen and destroy all the scrolls.”

“The rune scroll must have been produced by the Ancient Race of Prison Guardians,” another Blood Saint said. “We must do our best to wipe out the Prison Guardians and save Lord Pluto. We’ll enter the central region and become the ruler of the humans.”

Blood Saint Sijian huffed coldly. “If we want to save Lord Pluto, we must first get the Taotian Sword from Zhang Ruochen. If we want to force Zhang Ruochen to give in, we must first capture Zhang Ruochen. Immediately start the fifth siege. They’re already at the brink of collapse. We must capture them this time. Destroy the battle and break in.”
