God Emperor

It was snowing and the weather was cold. It was so cold that the space was being frozen.

Cold Qi gushed out of a canyon that was ten feet wide, changing the weather and rules of heaven and earth around it.

The closer a saint got to the canyon, the colder he would feel as if his veins were about to freeze.

Zhang Ruochen looked at the thick ice wall at the canyon.

The Nine-headed Blue Bird and Bu Ji weren’t intimidated at all. They used their saint soul domains to protect their bodies, and then, they rushed toward the canyon.

“Wait!” Zhang Ruochen yelled.

The bird and the person who had already entered the canyon both stopped. Bu Ji said in a rush, “Why wait? If we don’t hurry up, those monks from Hell Blade Field will get all the good things.”

Zhang Ruochen walked to the ice wall.

Princess Luosha was standing behind Zhang Ruochen, and her eyes glinted with crimson light. After seeing what was on the ice wall, she was immediately dazed.

Whoosh!

Zhang Ruochen pressed forward, and fiery threads gushed out, dispelling the coldness.

Soon, the ice wall was melted, revealing the stones.

There were strange inscriptions on the mountain, and each trace of the inscriptions was abstruse. There was saint light flowing on the inscriptions, and it seemed that they’d covered the entire saint mountain.

“Supreme saint inscriptions… And they’re slaying inscriptions…”

Su Qingling’s face paled, and she couldn’t help taking two steps back.

There were different kinds of supreme saint inscriptions, and slaying inscriptions were the most horrifying ones.

The Nine-headed Blue Bird and Bu Ji both knew how terrifying slaying supreme saint inscriptions were, so they immediately stepped back.

Fortunately, Zhang Ruochen stopped them in time, otherwise, they would’ve been killed before they could even realize it.

Princess Luosha couldn’t help respecting Zhang Ruochen a bit more, as not even she had realized the supreme saint inscriptions underground.

It wasn’t because Princess Luosha was less smart than Zhang Ruochen, but that this kind of ability could only be cultivated by being in danger all the time.

Princess Luosha grew up in heaven compared to Zhang Ruochen, which was why no matter how intelligent and gifted she was, she was still no comparison to Zhang Ruochen to some extent, even if she managed to destroy a large world in thirty years.

Zhang Ruochen sensed some feeble saint Qi ripples. He immediately turned around and looked into the distance at the snow.

He saw a group of monks who were carrying saint swords walk out of the snow, and there were more than one hundred of them. All of them were engulfed in powerful saint might.

At the front was the heir of Hell Blade Field, Fang Yi, who was wearing a spotless cape. He had black hair and a handsome face with a white star print on his forehead giving out light as shiny as stars.

The monks who came with Fang Yi were all the top-tier monks from Hell Blade Field. Even the weakest were at the Heaven Pass Realm, so even first-step saint kings needed to be careful of them.

“Fang Yi.”

Su Qingling recognized the guy at the front, and she was immediately alerted. She summoned two saint swords that were ten thousand pattern saint weapons.

Fang Yi ignored Su Qingling while staring at the mountain. He smiled. “They’re slaying supreme saint inscriptions. No wonder Tianji Compass detected the dangers.”

Fang Yi was holding a transparent compass in his hand, and the light coming out of the compass covered all the saints from Hell Blade Field.

Because of Tianji Compass, Zhang Ruochen and Princess Luosha didn’t detect them.

The saints from Hell Blade Field didn’t even consider Zhang Ruochen and the others a match. They all smiled and started to butter up their heir.

“Lord heir is indeed incredible. We wouldn’t have noticed the grave dangers that are hidden. God knows what would have happened to us.” A beautiful true saint looked at Fang Yi with admiration.

“Lord heir has Tianji Compass which can help dodge the dangers. This is way more brilliant than that Princess Luosha.”

“Princess Luosha conquered Zuling Field only because she led a large group of Luosha monks. She’s probably not that powerful herself,” an absolute saint with golden hair said.

All the saints from Hell Blade Field had heard about Princess Luosha before, but none of them had actually seen her.

Princess Luosha wasn’t irritated at all by their comments. Instead, she smiled gently.

All the saints from Hell Blade Field then looked to Su Qingling and Bu Ji.

They were all monks from Shatuo Heaven Domain, so many saints from Hell Blade Field knew about Su Qingling and Bu Ji, and they also knew that they had incredible status in Guanghan Field.

The absolute saint with golden hair was called Nie Shan. He walked out of the team of saints from Hell Blade Field and looked around at Zhang Ruochen and the others. He said, “Hello, friends from Guanghan Field. There should be lots of Ning True Saint Dew hidden deep in that canyon. If you help us get it out, we’ll be more than happy to share it.”

Bu Ji looked furious. He said, “What do you mean, Nie Shan? The slaying supreme saint inscriptions are horrifying. You want us to get the Ning True Saint Dew and give half to you?”

Su Qingling said, “Don’t you understand? They want us to explore the way to see whether we can survive or not. Even if we get the Ning True Saint Dew, they’ll take all of it.”

Nie Shan knew Su Qingling was the grandson of a supreme saint, and that Bu Ji was a disciple of a supreme saint, but he wasn’t afraid at all. He smiled. “You just made it incredibly awkward by pointing that out.”

Nie Shan was the only son of a supreme saint from Hell Blade Field, and he was just as talented as Su Qingling and Bu Ji, if not more so. What’s more, he was already an absolute saint, which made him much stronger than Su Qingling and Bu Ji.

Zhang Ruochen kept looking at Fang Yi, and he found that the heir from Hell Blade Field didn’t try to stop Nie Shan. Instead, he’d been observing the supreme saint inscriptions on the mountain the whole time.

There were seventeen absolute saints, thirty-nine true saints and seventy-five heaven pass saints, and in Kunlun’s Field, only The First Central Empire could gather so many great beings.

And this was only a part of Hell Blade Field’s power, and there were more of them coming to Whale River basin.

All the saints from Hell Blade Field were sneering, and they released a sense of killing.

Su Qingling and Bu Ji weren’t afraid of them, but they also knew that they weren’t able to defend themselves against those great beings, as they could be easily annihilated by their combined saint spells.

Nie Shan said, “The battle reflection will record everything that happened in Zuling’s Field. As long as you get into the canyon and help us get Ning True Saint Dew, we’ll definitely spare your lives.”

Another absolute saint from Hell Blade Field said, “There’s only one law on the Merits Battlefield: the law of nature. I suggest you bear it with more forbearance. You can probably survive by doing so.”

The saints from Hell Blade Field were all very arrogant as they tried to force them to compromise.

Su Qingling and Bu Ji were both furious, and so were Mu Lingxi and Qing Mo. They both looked to Zhang Ruochen, and they would be willing to fight them to death even if they knew they were no match.

Zhang Ruochen wasn’t afraid of the saints from Hell Blade Field at all, but they were too close to supreme saint inscriptions. If they started a fight, they might trigger the supreme saint inscriptions, after which perhaps none of them could survive.

Which was why Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to fight, so he wanted to tell them he was the priest to intimidate them, and he’d wait till they left the saint mountains to deal with them.

Just as he was about to reveal his identity, Princess Luosha stepped forward and said, “Merits Battlefield is indeed brutal. Well, I guess we have no choice but to inspect the canyon for them.”

Princess Luosha sighed after saying that.

Su Qingling and Bu Ji both glared at Princess Luosha as they reckoned she didn’t have any of the guts a great being was supposed to have.

On the contrary, Zhang Ruochen knew Princess Luosha well enough that she wouldn’t just surrender to Hell Blade Field that easily, but he couldn’t figure out what she had in mind.

Princess Luosha blinked at Zhang Ruochen and transmitted her voice to Zhang Ruochen. “I’ve been following you the whole time. Leave this to me, okay?”

Zhang Ruochen squinted and started to ponder Princess Luosha’s offer.

Su Qingling released a strong sense of fighting. She said, “We can’t compromise. Let’s fight them to the death, Zhang Ruochen. If we can’t defeat them, we’ll just trigger supreme saint inscriptions to kill them with us.”

Zhang Ruochen grabbed Su Qingling’s arm and walked toward the canyon. He said, “Let’s go inspect the way for us.”

Su Qingling was dazed, as she didn’t expect Zhang Ruocen to surrender and didn’t think that he was such a coward.

Bu Ji’s eyes turned red, and he clenched his fists as he thought Zhang Ruochen was losing face for Guanghan Field and Moon Goddess.

Qing Mo and Mu Lingxi trusted Zhang Ruochen completely, so they followed him without any doubts or hesitation.

Su Qingling and Bu Ji hesitated for a long time, but eventually, they sighed and followed them.

All the saints from Hell Blade Field looked content.

Nie Shan said out loud on purpose, “That’s the way. Know when you’re defeated.”

Both Su Qingling and Bu Ji were greatly upset by what he said. They glared at Zhang Ruochen and Princess Luosha who were walking at the front. They quickly followed them, as they wanted to question them.
