God Emperor

Chapter 2525: Martyrdom

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Every time a Regal Artifact exploded, Blackie’s body would tremble. It wished it could peck Mo Yunduan to death with its beak.

However, there was nothing it could do. The strength of a pseudo god was too powerful. The power of Scroll of Imprisoned Gods was unparalleled. Class One or Two Regal Artifacts couldn’t withstand it at all.

Just as it was about to grab the three Supreme Artifacts and run away, a strange fluctuation was emitted from the void space.

The source of fluctuation came from Bai Qing’er.

Under her blood-red clothes, her skin emitted a dazzling pure white Light of Origin. She was as holy as the first ray of light at the beginning of heaven and earth, creating all things and all living beings.

At this moment, she seemed to have combined all the wonders and beauty of the world into one. All the cultivators present were stunned for a moment.

“What a pure Light of Origin. Could it be that her Path of Origin has entered a state of mind?” Granny Begonia said.

Xue Lingxian shook her head and said, “It’s the Origin’s state of mind, but she hasn’t cultivated to that level yet. She used a forbidden technique to forcibly raise it to that level. The price she paid should be heavy.”

Light of Origin could create and destroy all things.

Under the illumination of Light of Origin, the void space didn’t seem empty but filled with matter. Moreover, the matters were getting more concentrated. There were loess, bluestones, mountains, and valleys.

“Is she going to create a world from the void space and become the god of creation herself?”

Zhang Ruochen found that he had stepped on solid ground.

The void power around him was dispersed by Origin.

Mo Yunduan sensed something was wrong with Bai Qing’er and accelerated his attack on the Great Array of Asterisms.

“Martyr… with my body…”

Bai Qing’er uttered four words from her red lips.

Light of Origin was even more dazzling. Zhang Ruochen could not open his eyes. He was led by Granny Begonia and Xue Lingxian to retreat into the distance.

The last thing he saw was that the material created by Light of Origin had all been destroyed. It was like the end of the world. Bai Qing’er turned into a beam of white light and flew toward Mo Yunduan.

BOOM

…

When Zhang Ruochen regained his vision, he had already appeared in the real world.

The world suddenly became calm. There was no terrifying Light of Origin or divine power fluctuation. A white Hoth, only the size of a bowl, floated more than one billion miles away.

After a long time, Zhang Ruochen came back to his senses. He looked around and asked, “Where’s Blackie?”

“I was scared to death. Luckily, I escaped quickly. I’ve saved the three Supreme Artifacts!”

Blackie’s feathers turned to ashes, and his body was charred black.

The three Supreme Artifacts flew in three different directions. They spun and glowed.

Zhang Ruochen glared at him. “Do you want to die?”

“These are Supreme Artifacts. If I hadn’t reacted quickly and suffered such a powerful attack, I would have lost them in the void space,” Blackie argued.

Zhang Ruochen said, “Isn’t it good to be alive?”

“Don’t worry. I’m a Phoenix,” Blackie said thoughtlessly, waving his charred wings.

Xue Lingxian asked Granny Begonia, “Do you know the forbidden technique of martyrdom?”

Granny Begonia was older than Xue Lingxian.

Granny Begonia was left with her seven-colored bones and white hair. Her voice was dry and hoarse, “This is a forbidden technique that only the Masters of Origin can use. Legend has it that cultivators below divinity will lose 10,000 years of their life, and Gods will lose 100,000 years if they use it.”

“This witch is ruthless. She’s willing to pay such a high price to not reveal her identity and implicate the Enchanteur Chamber,” Blackie said with a grin.

Zhang Ruochen thought for a while and said, “She didn’t use this technique just to kill gods.”

“What else could it be?” Blackie asked curiously.

Zhang Ruochen said, “Since it’s a forbidden technique, she must push Path of Origin to the extreme and its state of mind. With this experience and her talent, she might be able to comprehend and enter Origin’s state of mind.”

“So what if she enters Origin’s state of mind?” Blackie continued to ask.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to talk to it anymore. He said, “How about Wuma Jiuxing, who entered Saber’s state of mind?”

Blackie took a deep breath. Its eyes became serious. “Path of Origin is one of nine Path of the Ancients. Once you enter it…”

Xue Lingxian broke through the dimension and entered the void space again.

Zhang Ruochen and Granny Begonia followed.

“Why are you in such a hurry to go back? What if Mo Yunduan isn’t dead? Should we discuss how to deal with the witch first?”

No one paid any attention to Blackie. Blackie suddenly thought of something and exclaimed, “Oh no, they must be going to snatch Scroll of Imprisoned Gods, bronze chime, Divinity Source… How did I just react?”

Blackie rushed into the void space. There was still a faint trace of Power of Origin and divine power fluctuation inside.

The power of the void space was too mighty. In such a short time, everything seemed to be eroded and assimilated. It was difficult to preserve anything here.

Zhang Ruochen picked up a palm-sized corpse. It belonged to Mo Yunduan, but the divine blood inside had lost its divinity. The divine soul, spiritual power, and divine spirit had all been destroyed by Origin.

Xue Lingxian and Granny Begonia also found some body parts.

Xue Lingxian threw the body parts out and sighed. “She succeeded. The god has fallen. She’s an extraordinary woman.”

“Where’s the Divinity Source? Divinity Source doesn’t shatter, right?”

Blackie asked with concern. Then, he asked again, “What about Scroll of Imprisoned Gods?”

Granny Begonia said, “In that situation just now, Mo Yunduan didn’t have the time to self-detonate his Divinity Source. He can’t make such a big decision in a short time. The woman from the Enchanteur Chamber should still be alive and has taken away his Divinity Source and Scroll of Imprisoned Gods.”

“What? Should we go after her now? She just used a forbidden technique. She must be frail now.” Blackie was unwilling to accept this suggestion.

Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “She left from the void space without leaving any trace. How can we chase her?”

“This witch is too meticulous. She deliberately used us to heavily injure Mo Yunduan. Moreover, she only used a forbidden technique after we were down. She took all the benefits and successfully escaped. Zhang Ruochen, you must go all out when you fight with her in the future. Don’t go soft on her or be seduced by her beauty,” Blackie said earnestly.

Blackie wanted to collect the god’s corpse fragments but was stopped by Zhang Ruochen.

A god had fallen, and the Scroll of Imprisoned Gods was lost. It was obvious that Fane of Death would be furious and investigate the matter thoroughly.

Carrying the broken god corpse fragment would lend them to him.

At that time, the gains would not make up for the losses.

Returning to the real world, Zhang Ruochen took out a Quasi-Emperor Grade Sacred Pill, the Great Restoration Pill that Fane of Immortality had given him, and handed it to Granny Begonia.

Granny Begonia took the Sacred Pill and looked at it. She returned it to Zhang Ruochen and said decisively, “Cultivators of Kunlun’s field do not eat the healing pills of Infernal Court.”

She wasn’t targeting Zhang Ruochen. She deeply hated Infernal Court after experiencing the dark days of the end of the Middle Ages period.

Zhang Ruochen couldn’t understand her mentality, but he respected her wishes.

Blood vessels grew on Granny Begonia’s seven-colored bones. Her body recovered quickly as her muscles and skin grew out. Her injuries didn’t improve, but she looked fine on the outside.

“Give it to me!”

Xue Lingxian didn’t treat herself as an outsider and spread her hands.

Zhang Ruochen wanted to say that he wasn’t close to her, but she was a first-class existence below divinity. How embarrassed would she be if Zhang Ruochen didn’t give the pills to her even when she asked for it.

Zhang Ruochen handed her the only pill he had with a smile. It was a Quasi Emperor Grade Sacred Pill, a Great Restoration Pill that he didn’t bear to eat.

Xue Lingxian took it and swallowed it directly.

After taking it, the effect was immediate. Xue Lingxian’s injuries healed quickly, her Qi and blood kept increasing, and her mental state improved.

Zhang Ruochen’s face suddenly changed when he was about to take out Tensho Compass and give it to Granny Begonia. He saw a figure walking hundreds of feet silently away.

It was like a human walking in the air.

That was why it was so strange.

How could a mortal walk in the air?

What was even stranger was that Zhang Ruochen could only see two dragon horns on his head and not his face clearly. It was as if he was walking in another time and space.

Xin Lingxian and Granny Begonia bowed at the same time and said in unison, “Dragon Lord!”

Boom

Zhang Ruochen’s mind was ringing, and his body shook.

Dragon Lord…

It was said that the matchless figure of Kunlun’s field in the Middle Ages period was as influential as Saint Monk Xumi. Even after 100,000 years, his reputation was still intact. It was enough to make a god’s expression change.

Was it really the Dragon Lord?

A mythical figure appeared in front of him.

Blackie swung its legs, trying to escape. However, its legs seemed to be fixed there. Why couldn’t it step out?

There was no divine aura that could overwhelm all living things, no footsteps that could shake the space. There was only a figure that couldn’t be seen clearly. It was tall and ordinary, mysterious and simple.

Zhang Ruochen understood many things. His heart was still beating violently, but his expression was the same. He bowed and asked, “Since the Dragon Lord is nearby, why didn’t you kill the pseudo god?”

Everyone could hear the questioning in his tone.

“That’s right.”

The Dragon Lord looked at Zhang Ruochen with admiration. “Asurendra Samay came!”

Zhang Ruochen was stunned. “Asurendra Samay?”

“I used a divine spirit to scare him away. He probably thought that Hoth Emperor was warning him to dash. Unfortunately, I can’t act before I save the Lord of Nephilim Island. Otherwise, he’d already be dead!”

The dragon lord continued, “His target is you. More accurately, it’s Intergold Tiger. He didn’t need to come personally if he wanted to kill you.”

All the gods in Infernal Court knew that if they wanted to kill Zhang Ruochen, they had to get rid of Intergold Tiger first. It was best to force Intergold Tiger to use more power than the heavenly and earthly precepts allowed and die in the heavenly punishment. That way, no traces would be left behind.

Zhang Ruochen certainly knew the deep hatred between him and Asurendra Samay. The influence of Wargod Bloodximius, Fukurokuju, and Luo Yan could make other gods put down their enmity and stop targeting Zhang Ruochen.

But Asurendra Samay and Ghost Master were not among them.

The hatred was too deep!
