God Emperor

Zhang Ruochen steadied himself. The Qi and blood in his body surged violently, almost rushing out of his body. Fortunately, the Armor of the Fire God blocked most of the attack power, so he was safe.

Through the collision earlier, Zhang Ruochen truly felt the terror of the middle stage of Neverwilt Realm Supreme Saint. His use of power and comprehension of saint technique was not comparable to that of a Saint King.

Even so, Zhang Ruochen still did not have the slightest intention of retreating. Instead, he released a stronger battle will, causing the Armor of the Fire God to burn with even more vigorous flames.

“Zhang Ruochen, do you still want to grapple on? Looks like I should make you suffer a little.” Supreme Saint Jinhui said with a cold gaze.

Supreme Saint Jinhui assumed that after he attacked, Zhang Ruochen would obediently surrender. Yet, He did not expect Zhang Ruochen to be so indecisive and that enrages him.

As soon as he finished speaking, even greater power of the Supreme Saint emerged from Supreme Saint Jinhui’s body. The precepts of heaven and earth within a radius of 10,000 miles gathered towards him.

In an instant, a vaster golden ocean appeared in the dim starry sky. There were countless golden flames of the sun burning in it as if they wanted to burn the entire starry sky into nothingness.

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed. Without any hesitation, he immediately turned his palm into a fist. He shifted the Precepts of Fist and Precepts of Water to advance the Level Eleven Luoshui Fist Technique.

The aspect of the fist in the form of Celestial River appeared. It was more than a hundred miles wide and spread across the starry sky. It was vast and mighty.

As the Celestial River shook, precepts of heaven and earth in a large area were shifted. They gathered quickly, making the Celestial River bigger and bigger.

Performing the Luoshui Fist Technique in the starry sky was very different from performing it in Kunlun Realm. Zhang Ruochen vaguely felt that the Celestial River he advanced seemed to have a subtle connection with the Celestial River that flowed outside the Celestial Court, it was more majestic.

Burble.

The Celestial River flowed and swept up many star fragments. Like a huge divine dragon, it rushed toward the golden divine sea with unstoppable momentum.

During this process, Zhang Ruochen activated the Precepts of Truth once more and evoked nine times the attack power of the Celestial River.

With his current attainments in the Path of Truth, it was easy for him to trigger numerous times the power.

If he could condense the Realm-frame of Truth, he could use the Path of Truth as he pleased. As long as he manifested the Realm-frame of Truth, he didn’t need to deliberately activate the Precept of Truth. Any saint technique he used would have multiple times the power.

Zhang Ruochen had refined the Primordial Water. Naturally, the Celestial River contained the characteristics of the Primordial Water and it could extinguish all kinds of flames in the world.

Rip.

The golden ocean’s light dimmed after being eroded by the Celestial River.

BOOM!

There was a saying that water and fire were incompatible. When the two extreme forces collided, they exploded instantly, releasing a terrifying destructive force.

Under this impact, the small planet that had been shattered earlier was completely destroyed and turned into dust.

A large part of the starry sky shattered and revealed a pitch-black void. It looks extremely terrifying and fathomless.

Even though Zhang Ruochen was far away, he still received a heavy impact. Like a shooting star, he flew hundreds of miles away.

Even though the Celestial River was fragmented, it still surrounded Zhang Ruochen and neutralize the powerful impact.

Supreme Saint Jinhui’s body shook violently and he almost fell back. Part of the Neverwither Saint Light enveloping his body split apart.

“He can still withstand it. How did this happen?” Supreme Saint Jinhui was shocked.

Supreme Saint Jinhui did not hold back in this attack. He used all his strength and even activated precepts of heaven and earth within a radius of 10,000 miles. He thought that he could severely injure Zhang Ruochen. Surprisingly, Zhang Ruochen was able to withstand the attack.

He had used two high-level saint techniques in a row, but he was still unable to suppress Zhang Ruochen. Furthermore, he was being watched by many cultivators in the Grand Terminal of Merits. This made Supreme Saint Jinhui outraged.

If this continued, what will be left of his reputation when the other Emissaries Vigilant arrived?

With a piercing gaze in Supreme Saint Jinhui’s eyes. He grabbed the Sky-Piercer Halberd. His entire aura suddenly changed, displaying his top-state as if he could tear apart the starry sky.

“Supreme Saint Jinhui is furious. He’s finally using the regal weapon. With the Spearmanship Saintwill, he’s going to use an extremely domineering halberd technique. A Saint King like Zhang Ruochen won’t be able to stop him.” Xing Yuan smirked.

Chen Hu grinned too and said, “Zhang Ruochen is too arrogant. He’s asking for trouble when he insists on challenging Supreme Saint Jinhui. Just wait and see. Supreme Saint Jinhui might not hold back and slay Zhang Ruochen with his halberd.”

At this moment, Ji Kongyuan’s eyes were filled with worry. He had never expected things to escalate until this stage.

“Supreme Saint Jinhui has condensed the Grade Eight Spearmanship Saintwill. The Sky-Piercer Halberd in his hand is a regal weapon. He has also cultivated a high-level saint halberd technique. If to combine them, will the Divine Envoy be able to withstand them? And how long can he last?”

Just like high-level saint technique, a regal weapon could only unleash its true power if it was in the hands of a Supreme Saint.

Even if a Saint King who activated a Supreme Artifact might not be able to fight against a Supreme Saint who uses a regal weapon.

After all, a Supreme Artifact may be powerful, the amount of power a Saint King could unleash was probably less than 1%.

Supreme Saint Jinhui’s greatest achievement was Spearmanship. With the help of the Grade Eight Spearmanship Saintwill and the regal weapon, it was hard to imagine how powerful the halberd technique would be.

As Supreme Saint Jinhui waved the Sky-Piercer Halberd, a shocking phenomenon appeared in the starry sky. The thousand-mile-long shadow of the halberd swept across the sky and triggered the precepts of heaven and earth within a radius of ten thousand miles, causing a huge wave of energy to surge.

For a moment, Supreme Saint Jinhui seemed to have become the ruler of this starry sky. Everything was under his control and the power of all things.

In this starry sky, Zhang Ruochen actually felt a strong repulsion. Even the circulation of Saint Qi was slightly affected.

“Have you finally decided to use your strongest move? I want to see how strong the middle stage of Neverwilt Realm Supreme Saint who has cultivated the Saintwill is. Can he really crush all the Saint Kings?” Not only was Zhang Ruochen fearless, but his eyes revealed a look of anticipation.

There were very few Saint Kings who had the chance to fight with a Neverwither Supreme Saint. There were even fewer rumors regarding the fight with the middle stage of Neverwilt Realm Supreme Saint.

The so-called strongest three tiers below the Supreme Saint were divided according to certain criteria. Such as how many precepts of heaven and earth and Heaven and Earth Qi could be mobilized. However, everyone’s situation was unique, their strength would naturally be different, sometimes, the difference would be even greater.

In theory, Zhang Ruochen already had the strength to kill the weakest Neverwither Supreme Saint. However strong he was, a test is still required.

In Zhang Ruochen’s opinion, Supreme Saint Jinhui, who was in the middle stage of Neverwilt Realm, was undoubtedly the best person to help him testify his strength.

Activating the Empyrean Emperor Ming’s Scripture, five-colored saint light flew out of Zhang Ruochen’s body and quickly condensed into a world behind him. There was a dense chaotic qi filling the world.

Based on the Five-element Chaotic Body, a strange Spatial Domain was created. It covered a radius of 1,500 kilometers.

Actually, with Zhang Ruochen’s current spatial attainments, the Spatial Domain could cover a radius of more than 5,000 kilometers. However, his control over space would be far inferior to now.

At the same time, Zhang Ruochen took out the Zangshan Demonic Mirror to further freeze space.

Looking at the Zangshan Demonic Mirror, Supreme Saint Jinhui said in a deep voice, “In the face of absolute power, the Supreme Artifact can not change anything. Star-splitting Spear!”

As he spoke, the Supreme Saint Jinhui suddenly performed a halberd technique.

Under the power of the Supreme Saint, the Sky-Piercer Halberd was completely restored. Hundreds of thousands of thick king class inscriptions appeared clearly.

A sharp halberd ray that was thousands of miles long appeared. It was like a comet dragging its long tail across the starry sky, tearing a huge black crack in the starry sky.

Seeing Supreme Saint Jinhui’s terrifying attack, Zhang Ruochen didn’t lower his guard. He immediately activated the Precepts of Dimension and released powerful dimensional power. He compressed it with all his might and condensed it into silver light.

Whoosh

The silver light flew out and cut open the starry sky in front of him completely. It revealed a bottomless void. It seemed to be able to connect to the starry sky in the universe and reach any great world.

BANG!

The thousand-mile-long halberd light shattered and was quickly destroyed by the violent dimensional power.

Under the impact of this power, more than half of the space domain that Zhang Ruochen had constructed was destroyed without delay. He had to rely on the Zangshan Demonic Mirror to withstand it.

Supreme Saint Jinhui did not hold back. Instead, he continued to display an even more powerful halberd technique. The entire starry sky was filled with countless sharp halberd lights.

Zhang Ruochen’s gaze filled with ferocity. With the Secret Tome of Time and Space in hand, he displayed Time and Space Techniques to his heart’s content.

BOOM!

An intense battle erupted. Saint lights flashed in the starry sky and bloomed like fireworks.

Relying on Time and Space Techniques, Zhang Ruochen managed to stabilize his footing. He engaged in a series of fierce battles with Supreme Saint Jinhui. He was gradually turning from a passive confrontation to an active attack.

With the Path of the Ancients, it was possible to fight against the Saintwill.

In fact, most of the first-tier powerhouses below the Supreme Saint cultivated the Path of the Ancients or had powers comparable to it. That was why they had the chance to kill the weakest Neverwither Supreme Saint.

In the Grand Terminal of Merits, the cultivators from each realm could not help but be stunned.

In their opinion, as long as Supreme Saint Jinhui made a serious move, he would be able to easily suppress Zhang Ruochen. However, the current situation was not like this. They could not believe what they had seen.

“Supreme Saint Jinhui could be testing him. He is deliberately playing with Zhang Ruochen,” a weaker saint said with uncertainty.

A top-notch Saint King shook his head with a serious expression. “No, Supreme Saint Jinhui has used all his strength. He even used the Spearmanship Saintwill. It’s because Zhang Ruochen is too powerful that this situation has occurred.”

Hiss.

Many cultivators watching the battle couldn’t help but gasp.

A Saint King couldn’t defeat a Supreme Saint in the middle stage of Neverwilt Realm. But now, it was actually happening. Everyone felt that it was surreal.

Staring at the two figures fighting in outer space, Xing Yuan and Chen Hu’s faces darkened. Zhang Ruochen’s strength was far beyond their expectations.

“Why has Zhang Ruochen’s strength increased so much in such a short time? What kind of monster is he?” Chen Hu said indignantly.

The battle outside the Peacock Manor hadn’t been long. It had only been a few months.

For a powerhouse of Saint King Realm, time would pass in the blink of an eye. It was barely enough for one closed-door cultivation.

A few months ago, Zhang Ruochen’s strength wasn’t weak, but he couldn’t defeat them either.

But in the blink of an eye, Zhang Ruochen had reached the pinnacle of the Saint King Realm. Even the Son of Darkness had been defeated by him. Now, he could even fight against Supreme Saint Jinhui. This speed of improvement was terrifying.

Xing Yuan said in a low voice, “Zhang Ruochen is indeed a scourge. We must not let him live and find a way to get rid of him. Otherwise, when he becomes a Supreme Saint or even a god, I’m afraid that the Celestial Court and Infernal Court will never be in peace because of him.”

“But now, even Supreme Saint Jinhui can’t do anything to him. If he stays in Kunlun Realm, who can threaten him?” Chen Hu frowned.

The Fane of Bloody War had been defeated by Zhang Ruochen one after another. They naturally wanted to get rid of Zhang Ruochen, but there was nothing they could do.

With Zhang Ruochen’s terrifying strength, even the peerless cultivators from the sect of Heavenly Realm couldn’t guarantee that they could deal with him.

A strange look flashed in Xing Yuan’s eyes, “In fact, the Infernal Court wants to get rid of Zhang Ruochen more than we do. Since Kunlun Realm became the Battlefield of Merits, there have been many geniuses in the Infernal Court who have died at Zhang Ruochen’s hands. The Deathkin, the Nether Clan, the Immortal Vampires, and the Bone Clan must have hated the sight of Zhang Ruochen. Just wait and see. Those clan’s cultivators who don’t often appear in the Battlefield of Merits will probably find a way to enter Kunlun’s Field.”

Hearing this, Chen Hu’s expression changed slightly, and many figures that looked like Divine Demons appeared in his mind.

The Infernal Court could fight against the entire Celestial Court, and it even had a considerable advantage. Its foundation was naturally unfathomable.

Any one of the ten clans of Infernal Court was stronger than a ruler of a world.

The powerhouses of the Infernal Court recorded in The Maleficent Records of the Infernal Court’s Ten Clans were all familiar to the Celestial Court, but they didn’t include all the Saint King powerhouses of the Infernal Court.

For example, the Nether Clan naturally didn’t only have Son of Darkness and The Seven Top Killers of Nether Clan. Otherwise, how could they be considered one of the three upper clans of the Infernal Court?

Excluding those very low-key demons, the Nether Clan had two top-notch Saint King cultivators namely Nether Demon and Nether Buddha. Their strength was no less than the Son of Darkness.

In fact, Immortal Ming who died in the Sword Vault was a peerless demon who was on par with Nether Demon and Nether Buddha. Unfortunately, his strength hadn’t reached the pinnacle yet, and he was killed by the Blood Dripper.

There was also the Bone clan, a top-notch powerhouse of the Saint King Realm. Besides the Three Emperors and Twelve Reverends, the strongest powerhouse of this generation was Dark Skeletal Lord.

It was rumored that Dark Skeletal Lord had a bone body at the demigod level. Just by relying on his bone body, he could crush most of the Nine-Step Saint Kings.

Even if the Three Emperors of the Bone Clan joined hands, they could only fight to a draw with Dark Skeletal Lord. They couldn’t gain too much advantage.

“With Zhang Ruochen’s terrifying rise, it’s impossible for the Infernal Court to let him continue growing. Dark Skeletal Lord of Bone Clan, Nether Demon and Nether Buddha of Nether Clan, the talented demons, and even Yan Wushen, might not be able to resist attacking him after what happened on True Dragon Island,” Chen Hu said seriously.

Any one of these peerless demons from the Infernal Court could affect the outcome of the Battlefield of Merits.

Xing Yuan narrowed his eyes, “That being said, I still want to see Zhang Ruochen fall at the hands of the Heavenly Realm sect. He has many secrets and all kinds of treasures. How could he fall into the hands of the people of the Infernal Court for nothing? I really hope that the Archangel Michael can come out of seclusion soon.”

Hearing the name “Michael”, Chen Hu’s heart trembled. An incomparably majestic figure appeared in his mind.. He couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe.
