Chapter 1640 - Completion of Sword Eight



Chapter 1640: Completion of Sword Eight

The guard had Sword Gang to protect his body, so he managed to dodge Zhang Ruochen’s sword.

Sizzle!

There were sparkles on its head, and the Abyss Ancient Sword tore it a bit.

“Damn it. I didn’t kill it.” Zhang Ruochen sighed.

The power of time vanished. The guard then wielded its giant silver sword, carrying gleaming Sword Way Xuangang.

It was too fast for Zhang Ruochen to dodge.

He immediately used his sword, trying to ward it off.

Bang!

The power that Zhang Ruochen couldn’t fight against fell onto the Abyss Ancient Sword, and the sword shook fiercely.

Zhang Ruochen’s hand was cracked, and lots of saint blood was spilled. His body constitution could rival that of a third-step saint king, yet it was so fragile in front of the guard.

The Boat of Truth and Zhang Ruochen were both knocked away, falling.

Zhang Ruochen had to try to control the Boat of Truth. If he fell into the ocean, it meant he failed, which was the last thing he wanted.

All of a sudden, a giant shadow showed up above him as the Boat of Truth was about to fall into the ocean.

Zhang Ruochen looked up, and the guard was floating above him. He looked like a ruthless God of Death.

It wielded its giant silver sword.

The power contained in the giant silver sword was horrific, which pushed the water down when it was more than a hundred feet above Zhang Ruochen.

Meanwhile, Zhang Ruochen felt that his head was about to burst because of that invisible force.

“No, I can’t fail. How can I fail on the fourth level of the ocean domain? I’m Zhang Ruochen, Time and Space Manipulator. I want to become a God and defeat Chi Yao… I must accomplish what others can’t.” Zhang Ruochen had great perseverance, and an unbending will.

His body potential was fully triggered at this moment. His mind became clear as the time around him flowed more and more slowly. He felt like he was standing in a dark, silent and cold universe, and that he could see the changes of everything.

All the confusion he had been having was gone.

Zhang Ruochen held his sword handle tightly again seeing the giant silver sword slaying toward him.

Whoosh!

Black light emerged on the Abyss Ancient Sword.

It wasn’t sword light though. Instead, it was Sword Way Xuangang.

Meanwhile, the Fire God Armor on his arms gleamed with blazing flames, which merged with Sword Way Xuangang, surging.

Boom!

The two Sword Way Xuangangs clashed with each other.

The guard’s giant silver sword was torn apart, and its body was also cut in half.

Bang!

The Boat of Truth landed on the ocean again, making waves that were several times taller than Zhang Ruochen’s body, yet he was standing on the Boat of Truth stably.

The guard’s half bodies turned into light dots and flew back to the light screen. “Pass.”

Zhang Ruochen guffawed, looking at the sword in his hand.

He didn’t expect himself to fully comprehend the final level of Sword Eight and to condense Sword Way Xuangang.

Incredible.

It was incredible.

Suddenly, he stopped laughing as he realized something. He thought, It seems trying to cross the Ocean of Truth won’t just give me awards. The most important thing is to help monks refine themselves.

When trying to cross the ocean, monks can comprehend how to better control their power.

Each guard is a teacher. Fighting them not only makes us more experienced, but also allows us to learn their fighting skills. A monk can improve drastically after fighting a teacher like that.

Without the guard on the fourth level of the ocean domain, it would take a while longer for Zhang Ruochen to complete Sword Eight.

What was more incredible was that Fire God Armor finally showed the power it should’ve shown, much larger than when Qiu Yu had it.

Zhang Ruochen managed to defeat the guard with the help of Fire God Armor.

Why was that?

Zhang Ruochen was baffled. He immediately mobilized a trace of mind power to inspect the two boxing gloves and arm guards of the armor.

The boxing gloves and the arm guards were like four fiery godly irons. There were lots of ancient godly engravings on their surfaces, including some pictures of divine beasts.

There weren’t this many changes when he was trying to trigger Fire God Armor before.

Gradually, Zhang Ruochen retracted his saint Qi.

He then noticed the light spots in the saint Qi he pulled back.

“That is… Mystery of Truth…”

Because of the dire situation before, Zhang Ruochen didn’t have the capacity to control Mystery of Truth, which was why he infused Mystery of Truth and saint Qi into the Fire God Armor at the same time.

Did Fire God Armor show its real power because of the Mystery of Truth?

After pulling back all the Mysteries of Truth and saint Qi, Zhang Ruochen then infused his Fire God Armor with saint Qi only. Crimson fiery god armor emerged on the armor, but its force was nothing compared to before.

And then, Zhang Ruochen infused it with Mysteries of Truth again.

Boom!

Suddenly, the two gloves and the arm guards glowed with gleaming fire, shining upon Zhang Ruochen’s arms as if his body was made of crimson bronze with ferocious power.

Godly might gushed out.

“Seems like I need to use Mysteries of Truth to trigger its maximum power.”

Zhang Ruochen got more confused. Qiu Yu didn’t have Mysteries of Truth at all before. How did he wield the real power of Fire God Armor?

Perhaps Mystery of Truth wasn’t the only way to utilize Fire God Armor, and there might be a different way.

The thing to figure out was, how.

As Zhang Ruochen was thinking, Thousand Star Maiden, who was recovering her saint Qi on her Boat of Truth, opened her almond eyes and looked to him.

To be accurate, she was staring at the Fire God Armor on his arms.

She was kind of dazed, and then, she looked away and entered the fifth level of the ocean domain on her Boat of Truth.

It took Feng Yan a long time to defeat the guard of the fourth level of the ocean domain. He then looked to Zhang Ruochen, thrilled.

He didn’t say a word. Instead, he just sat on the Boat of Truth to recover his saint Qi as well.

Zhang Ruochen also consumed more than half of his saint Qi during the previous fight. At this moment, he was standing at the center of the boat, refining ‘Eight Polar Concealing Sky’, the eighth level of ‘Emperor Ming Nine-sky Scripture’, to mobilize the saint Qi in his body.

After one circle of vital energy, his saint Qi went back to the pinnacle status.

The more complex the technique was, the quicker a monk could absorb saint Qi, and the saint Qi they refined would be purer.

Whoosh!

Zhang Ruochen rushed to the light screen at the front, sailing his Boat of Truth.

“You’ve passed the second level of the ocean domain, which earned you two ten thousandths of the Mysteries of Truth.” He heard the familiar voice again as he passed the light screen.

And then, a large number of light spots rushed into Zhang Ruochen’s body.

“I only gained one ten thousandths of the Mystery of Truth when I crossed the first, the second and the third level of the ocean domain, but I gained double after I crossed the fourth level. Was it because of the difficulty?”

As Zhang Ruochen was pondering the reason, he heard a different voice. “You got Mystery of Truth as well?”

Zhang Ruochen was shocked, looked to the left, and saw Thousand Star Maiden standing on her Boat of Truth, engulfed in starry mist.

She stopped sailing her Boat of Truth as if she was waiting for Zhang Ruochen on purpose.

“What were you saying?”

Zhang Ruochen played dumb.

Thousand Star Maiden looked very apathetic. She said, “The boxing gloves and the arm guards you’re wearing were made by a God using special weapon-refining techniques. Only the power of mysteries can trigger their godly might.”

No wonder she’s a heavenly maiden. How perceptive. But what is the power of mysteries? Are there any other mysteries? Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t ask this question. Otherwise, he would be admitting that he obtained Mysteries of Truth.

Zhang Ruochen smiled and denied it. “Don’t you want to know the differences between this special weapon and the godly remains ancient weapons, godly weapons, and saint weapons?”

Zhang Ruochen then realized she must’ve confirmed that he obtained Mysteries of Truth already.

By doing so, Thousand Star Maiden also exposed that she obtained Mysteries of Truth.

If both of the monks had Mysteries of Truth, they would become mortal enemies even if there were no grudges between them, as they both wanted to kill each other to get more Mysteries of Truth.

It was likely that Thousand Star Maiden followed the Way of the Void, and that she had a giant ancient civilization backing her. She was as large a problem as Shang Ziyan.

Zhang Ruochen only wished that she wouldn’t recognize him as he was wearing a mask, although it was almost impossible.

Zhang Ruochen used the power of time and space in the previous fight, and he also wielded his Abyss Ancient Sword. Even if Thousand Star Maiden hadn’t heard of Zhang Ruochen before, she would soon by doing only a little research.

If Shang Ziyan and Thousand Star Maiden fought him at the same time, he would be rendered defenseless against them. He didn’t want the worst scenario to happen.

What should he do then?

Should he try to assassinate her after crossing the Ocean of Truth?

To Zhang Ruochen, women were nothing, no matter how beautiful they were, as long as they weren’t his. If she posed a threat to his life, he would have to strike first and kill her.

Thousands of thoughts flooded Zhang Ruochen’s mind.

Thousand Star Maiden said, “You hid your hostility very well, but you can’t deceive me. I know you want to kill me and seize my Mysteries of Truth. Unfortunately, you’re not strong enough yet.”

Zhang Ruochen stopped pretending and smirked. “Really? Then let’s see who can survive longer.”

Sizzle!

The light screen shook.

Obviously, more monks came to the fifth level of the ocean domain.

Thousand Star Maiden stopped talking and kept sailing her Boat of Truth.
