God Emperor

Zhang Ruochen took out the Buddha’s sarira, holding it in his left hand. Then thousands of golden Buddhist words appeared. They formed a spherical golden shield that protected Mu Lingxi, Su Qingling, and the others.

The Hell Blade Field Saints had all retreated into the distance. Six Ten-thousand-pattern weapons flew up amongst them, radiating with six rings of holy light.

Inside the central area, Fang Yi and the Princess Luosha stood in the air. Their saintly auras grew even stronger.

A huge white figure appeared behind Fang Yi. It was more than 100 times taller than his true form.

“True Shadow,” he uttered softly.

A white beam of light flew out of the huge white figure’s forehead.

The next moment, the entire dark space started shaking. Waves of energy rippled out.

Fang Yi’s True Shadow was formed by the most extreme Rules of Saintly Way. It could harmonize with the world and manipulate the power of the world to a certain extent.

Su Qingling, Bu Ji, and Qing Mo were all top geniuses. But seeing Fang Yi’s attack, their expressions changed.

Fang Yi could probably kill them with just this one strike.

Princess Luosha was like a beautiful fairy. She stood under the white giant. A blue feather appeared between her two fingers.

Whoosh!

The feather waved softly like a fan.

Suddenly, that sharp beam of light scattered. It transformed into hundreds of Qi currents and flew in all directions. At the same time, thousands of fireballs flew out of the blue feather. They consolidated into 12 flame dragons in the sky.

Roar!

Those huge fire dragons were formed by Nanling Dragon Fire. They flew around Fang Yi, tangling together into a hundred-foot-wide fireball.

Looking on from afar, it was like Fang Yi had gotten swallowed by the 12 dragons.

The Princess Luosha was very decisive. She used the Spatial Move and appeared near the fireball. Forming a print technique with both hands, she pressed down on the inside of the fireball. She didn’t give Fang Yi any space.

The palm print grew bigger and bigger. The fire Qi in the palm power grew stronger too.

The Hell Blade Field Saints were confident in Fang Yi, but they still grew worried and nervous now. After all, the Spiritual Flame Demonic Concubine was a reputable strong figure too.

“Break!”

Fang Yi roared to the sky inside the fireball. Then an overwhelming force flew out of the White Micro Star in his forehead. It crashed out like a tidal wave.

The 12 dragons formed by Nanling Dragon Fire were actually shattered by this force. They turned into palm-sized flames.

Princess Luosha wasn’t forced back. Instead, she got closer and closer to Fang Yi while casting a fiery palm print.

Ten feet, nine feet, eight feet…

Huge booms sounded in Fang Yi’s ears. It was like space was collapsing.

Five feet, four feet…

…

Fang Yi opened his eyes wide. Brilliant light shot out of his eyes. The huge white figure hovering behind him turned into a white wheel. It combined with the power of the White Micro Star and attacked Princess Luosha.

Boom.

The white wheel crashed against the fiery palm.

Instantly, the cultivators in the dark space flew backward.

Even someone as strong as Princess Luosha took four steps back before steadying herself.

Fang Yi took 67 steps. The Holy Qi within him went wild and his face alternated between pale and dark. He seemed to have gotten internal injuries.

“Even with the White Micro Star and True Shadow, I’m still at a disadvantage. How can the Spiritual Flame Demonic Concubine be so strong?”

The White Micro Star on Fang Yi’s forehead wasn’t only a mark. It was a real planet.

In fact, it was the divine planet of an ancient god.

Even though that god had died long ago and the star’s soul had dissipated, it still contained extremely terrifying power.

Fang Yi had spent close to 30 years to refine the planet into his body. This process had been very difficult and dangerous.

He’d thought that he would be undefeatable in his realm with this divine star. If not, he would at least be in the strongest group. He didn’t expect to meet a strong enemy like Princess Luosha so quickly. His competitive heart was actually shaken.

Princess Luosha wasn’t calm inside either.

Since childhood, she’d fought with countless top talents. However, there weren’t many who would take three of her hits without dying.

“You could actually refine a divine star into your body. Your abilities are beyond my imagination.”

Princess Luosha’s demonic eyes radiated with dark red light.

Fang Yi met Princess Luosha’s eyes. Then his eyes grew dazed and even his body started swaying.

That moment, Princess Luosha sent out her blue feather. It flew to Fang Yi’s forehead like a blue streak.

The Saints of Hell Blade Field all cursed this demoness inside. They attacked her with their saint weapons, trying to stop the feather.

However, the feather was too fast. It reached Fang Yi almost instantly.

Just as Fang Yi’s head was about to be pierced, his Heavenly Compass started shaking violently. Nine white halos pulsed out consecutively.

The blue feather crashed against the nine halos, producing nine explosive booms.

Hearing the boom, Fang Yi woke up with a start. Cold sweat poured down his back. Producing extremely penetrative force, he flew toward Princess Luosha.

At the same time, Fang Yi pressed forward. A mysterious force was applied to the flying sword. This increased the sword’s light and speed. It was more than three times stronger now.

“How is this possible… What power is this…”

Zhang Ruochen found it unbelievable. He didn’t understand how Fang Yi’s sword suddenly grew so much stronger.

Su Qingling gasped too. Her expression hardened. “It must be the legendary…Rules of Truth.”

“The Way of Truth, one of the nine ancient ways?” Zhang Ruochen was even more shocked now.

“I only heard Grandfather mention it before,” Su Qingling said. “Cultivators who can understand the Way of Truth can manipulate the Rules of Truth. When it’s applied to their martial techniques and saint spells, they’ll become multiple times stronger. They can kill a strong cultivator at their level with only one strike.”

“The ancient ways are indeed terrifying,” Bu Ji said.

Su Qingling continued. “I heard that if you want to understand the Way of Truth, you must cultivate in the Truth Godly Palace. Every decade, there are three spots for Guanghan Field. These three must be chosen from Absolute Saints.

“Two years ago, Wu Hao and two other Absolute Saints went to cultivate in the Truth Godly Palace. Only he comprehended the Way of Truth. The other two Absolute Saints had no results.”

“It’s extraordinarily hard to comprehend the Way of Truth,” Bu Ji said. “Only people like Wu Hao and Fang Yi can succeed.”

Su Qingling nodded. “Cultivators who comprehend the Way of Truth are indeed stronger than the others. They’re basically undefeatable in the Saint Realm and can stir up a storm. But they can only manipulate some basic Rules of Truth to strengthen their attacks and defenses. They’re not true Truth Controllers.

“People who are truly Truth Controllers can activate the Truth Martial Deity Print and combine the Rules of Truth into their saint souls. People like that are known as the Heirs of Truth. They’re even stronger than Fang Yi and Wu Hao.”

“So you can’t comprehend the Rules of Truth without going to the Truth Godly Palace?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

“Well, no.” Su Qingling shook her head and said, “When people like Fang Yi and Wu Hao use the Rules of Truth, the rules also appear. Thus, you can comprehend them while observing their battles. Of course, it’s extremely difficult. Not even the typical genius can do it.”

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were glued to the flying sword. He was observing the Rules of Truth, but he also wanted to see if Princess Luosha could counter it.

Princess Luosha didn’t use spatial power. Instead, she also used the Rules of Truth and pressed her hand down. The Ten Thousand Saints Blouse seemed to have thousands of saintly apparitions. They combined with the Rules of Truth.

Boom!

Both the sword and Fang Yi were sent flying.

Blood flowed out of Fang Yi’s lips. He looked at Princess Luosha with incredulity. He’d thought that he would surely win, but he was still defeated in the end.

The opponent was too strong. This was his top enemy since becoming a cultivator.

“Retreat. Leave this place immediately.”

Fang Yi knew that he had to escape today.

He could only live by running.

Otherwise, if the two spatial cultivators worked together and also had the Guanghan Field priest’s divine weapon, the Hell Blade Field Saints would probably all die.

He flew out, charging down the tunnel that he’d come in through.

The Saints of Hell Blade Field had all witnessed Princess Luosha’s terrible power. All terrified, they followed Fang Yi and scrambled out.

“Keep them.”

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were cold. After speaking, he sent out the Buddha’s sarira. The Supreme Saint’s origin force killed a True Saint.

At the same time, Princess Luosha used spatial power to stop Fang Yi.

The nine-headed bird, Bu Ji, Su Qingling, Mu Lingxi, and Qing Mo attacked too. Some followed Zhang Ruochen and attacked the Saints of Hell Blade Field. Others stood in the distance and attacked the escaping Saints in the back with weapons.

Even when escaping, the Hell Blade Field Saints were still in organized formations. They didn’t scatter like commoners. Zhang Ruochen couldn’t kill them all, even after pursuing them. Instead, an even more intense fight erupted.
