God Emperor

The True Thunder Fire Sword Technique was at the same level as Ling Feiyu’s Nine-Death Nine-Life Nine-Circle Sword Technique. It definitely didn’t lose to the Heavenly Sword Technique.

However, the two had very big differences in cultivation.

Zhang Ruochen used Nine Nine to One, but he still couldn’t block the Celestial Three Sword. He was about to get stabbed through by all the Sword Qi in the sky.

“Spatial Twist!” Zhang Ruochen roared.

The spatial structure outside the royal shrine was very stable. Zhang Ruochen used all his might, but the space only distorted a little bit. The Sword Qi that were flying towards him changed directions and circled around him.

“You can still use spatial power?”

Chi Dufeng’s eyes narrowed. Holding the sword in one hand, he placed the forefinger and middle finger of his other hand together. They slid down the sword and he instantly entered the Human Sword state.

Whoosh!

Chi Dufeng transformed into a beam of sword light and crashed toward Zhang Ruochen.

Sword Seven!

This sword carried extreme penetrative abilities. It could affect the space to some extent.

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes hardened. Even with his current control of space, he probably still couldn’t resolve Chi Dufeng’s Sword Seven. This man’s cultivation was too strong. He might already be in the True Saint Realm.

Different people had extremely different combat abilities after entering the True Saint Realm.

For example, Qingxiao could defeat a group of True Saints by himself even when he was only an early-stage True Saint.

The five on the Five Heroes List—Pei Yutian, Wan Zhaoyi, Chen Wutian, Buddha Xinshu—would be even stronger than Qingxiao once they reached the True Saint Realm.

Chi Dufeng’s talent and body were a bit weaker than Qingxiao. However, his talent for the Sword Way was shocking. Reaching the Sword Saint Realm, his combat abilities were unparalleled, so his power wasn’t any weaker than Qingxiao.

Someone like this would even give Absolute Saints headaches after reaching the True Saint Realm.

For example, Pei Yutian had only reached the Half-True Realm. He was still a step away from the True Saint Realm, but he was already undefeatable below the Absolute Saint Realm. He could defeat any True Saint.

“Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron.”

Zhang Ruochen took out the empire-guarding weapon of the Sacred Central Empire. He pressed forward, hitting the bronze tripod. Holy Qi poured crazily out of his Sea of Qi.

The many golden words on the ancient tripod shone brilliantly.

Boom.

Chi Dufeng’s saint sword crashed against the bronze tripod, emitting a loud clang.

Power of the Sword Way poured out of his body. It sent the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron and Zhang Ruochen retreating to a dozen miles away.

Zhang Ruochen felt that Chi Dufeng’s sword power was quickly weakening. Thus, he grasped the chance and used all his might. He pressed the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron with both hands, activating a bit of its origin power.

The Unmovable Emperor Ming’s shadow instantly appeared above the huge bronze tripod.

The shadow pushed a palm toward Chi Dufeng.

“Your grasp of time is quite accurate.”

Right now, Chi Dufeng’s sword power was weakening. He was forced to use some remnants of power to use the Celestial Three Sword again. Defending by attacking, he cut down on the golden palm print.

Boom, boom, boom.

The Unmovable Emperor Ming’s handprint shattered the Celestial Three Sword and slammed into Chi Dufeng’s chest. He spat out blood on impact and flew back like a kite with a broken string.

He couldn’t block an ancient weapon’s power.

Zhang Ruochen took advantage of this. He entered the Human Sword state as well and displayed the completed Sword Seven. He stabbed forward.

Chi Dufeng clenched his teeth. He forcefully twisted his body and stopped flying backward. He attacked with his sword, crashing into Zhang Ruochen’s attack.

Boom!

The two separated quickly again, putting ten miles between them.

Both were injured. Blood trickled from their mouths.

“No wonder you can defeat the nine Heirs by yourself. You’re only in the Absolute Land Realm, but you could injure me. Not even a young god can be as strong as you.”

Chi Dufeng wiped the blood from his mouth. Flames appeared in his eyes and his battle intent grew stronger.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t say anything. He just activated the power of the Universe World again, wanting to kill Chi Dufeng as quickly as possible.

“You have the empire-guarding weapon, but I have Emperor Ming’s Golden Dragon Carriage. You should be clearer than anyone about how strong that is, right?”

Chi Dufeng saw that Zhang Ruochen wanted to use that mysterious power again, so he quickly retreated and flew into the Golden Dragon Carriage. Then his Holy Qi poured out, entering the carriage.

Nine huge golden dragons rushed out of the carriage. They lined up neatly in the front, shining with golden light. The power of the nine dragon shadows were even more terrifying than the nine Saint flood-dragons.

This was the true form of the Golden Dragon Carriage!

Of course, with Chi Dufeng’s cultivation, he couldn’t support the nine dragon shadows for long. Thus, he had to work quickly and kill Zhang Ruochen as soon as possible.

Kaboom.

Chi Dufeng steered the Golden Dragon Carriage and crushed forward wildly. He flattened a spiritual mountain. The dirt on the mountain kept falling down.

Zhang Ruochen couldn’t activate the Universe World’s power, so he grabbed the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron. Ignoring the usage of Holy Qi, he activated the tripod’s origin power with all his might.

A shadow of the Unmovable Emperor Ming, hundreds of feet tall, appeared. It overlapped with Zhang Ruochen’s body. Then he strode forward to crash against the Golden Dragon Carriage.

Chi Dufeng stood on the Golden Dragon Carriage. Seeing the incoming Zhang Ruochen, he smiled menacingly. “Looking for death.”

The Unmovable Emperor Ming shadow crashed against the nine dragons. Zhang Ruochen slammed into the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron at the same time, going hard against the Golden Dragon Carriage.

An earth-shaking boom spread out.

Zhang Ruochen’s biggest advantage was that he had a strong physical body. He didn’t fear crashes.

He grabbed the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron like it was a small bronze mountain and kept smashing the Golden Dragon Carriage. Rings of golden saint light poured out.

“How can this kid be so strong? Does he have unlimited power?”

Right now, Chi Dufeng was getting exhausted from supporting the Golden Dragon Carriage, but Zhang Ruochen was still vigorous.

The upper half of Zhang Ruochen’s robes had turned to dust from the collisions, revealing his beautiful muscles. His long black hair fluttered. Stepping from the ground, he jumped up and slammed down on the Golden Dragon Carriage.

At the same time, the Holy Carnivorous Flower rushed out of his back. It turned into a vine that wrapped around the four chariot wheels.

Boom.

Suffering from the two attacks, the Golden Dragon Carriage suddenly lost balance and flew back.

Chi Dufeng fell out. He landed on the ground, seeming a bit pathetic. He was no longer as handsome and easygoing as before.

Zhang Ruochen let go of the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron. He couldn’t really support it either. He panted heavily and his body was covered in sweat, but his battle intent was still boiling. He was very spirited.

“So the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron is actually an ancient divine weapon. People misjudged it before.” Chi Dufeng huffed coldly.

“You think the Golden Dragon Carriage lost because it’s not as strong as the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

“Lost? How can I lose to you? Next is when you will die.”

Chi Dufeng put his hands together. Holy Qi spun furiously within him. Many blue runes appeared on his chest, releasing more and more power.

“Saint Figure Rune,” Zhang Ruochen said.

“Yes. This is the Saint Figure Rune that Heavenly King Lingxiao gave me. You forced me to use my hidden card. Even if you die, you should be proud,” Chi Dufeng said with a laugh.

A blue cloud appeared in the sky above him. Heavenly King Lingxiao’s Saint Figure appeared. His head was in the sky, feet on the ground. He gave off the feeling of a towering mountain.

Naturally, Zhang Ruochen understood that the Saint Figure Rune was powerful. However, he didn’t panic. Instead, he rushed into the Golden Dragon Carriage and uttered, “Today, I will show you the true power of the Golden Dragon Carriage.”

The moment he entered the chariot, he felt the aura left by Emperor Ming. That aura was compatible with Zhang Ruochen’s Emperor Ming’s Nine-Sky Scripture. His Holy Qi circulated twice as fast.

Right now, he seemed to have become one with the chariot.

“Spirit of the Golden Dragon Carriage, I have come to undo your seal. Continue to fight for the Sacred Central Empire.”

Zhang Ruochen pressed down on the golden dragon head at the front of the chariot and released the Jingmie Divine Fire. The fire poured out. First, it hit the golden dragon head. Then it enveloped the entire chariot.

The nine weapon spirits in the chariot were nine dragon souls.

They only listened to Emperor Ming. Thus, the Chi Family couldn’t control the spirits at all, so they had to seal them. This way, Chi Dufeng wasn’t able to use the true power of the chariot.

Poof, poof.

The divine fire burned the seals away.

Instantly, deafening dragon roars sounded within the chariot. The nine dragon souls became lively, releasing intimidating dragon might.

“The Crown Prince has returned. Fight for him.”

“Eight hundred years. I’ve been sealed for eight hundred years and am finally free today.”

“Fight. Conquer the world with the Crown Prince and reestablish the glory of the Sacred. I will travel nine million miles per day. Everyone I pass must kneel before the chariot.”

…

The nine dragon souls were roaring angrily. Each roar could shake the heavens.

“This time, I must succeed.”

Zhang Ruochen activated the Universe World’s spirit again. He tried 17 times in a row. Suddenly, boundless power flooded out of the Universe World. Through Zhang Ruochen’s hands, it poured into the Golden Dragon Carriage.

Roar!

The nine dragon souls appeared before the Golden Dragon Carriage. Each soul had a tangible body, no different from a true golden dragon.

Kaboom.

Under the pulling of the nine dragon souls, the chariot rushed forward like an undefeatable war chariot.

Chi Dufeng was very shocked. He didn’t expect that the Golden Dragon Carriage could unleash such strong power. It was like nine divine dragons and a divine chariot was crashing toward him.

He activated the power of the Saint Image Rune and waved his sword. He attacked.

The Golden Dragon Carriage crashed over, shattering Heavenly King Lingxiao’s Saint Image. It also crushed Chi Dufeng’s saintly body into a cloud of bloody mist, his bones into dust. An extremely talented Sword Saint died on the spot without even a body.

Only a bloody saint sword remained, stabbed down beside the Golden Dragon Carriage.

Yet another legend had been ended by Zhang Ruochen.
