Chapter 2538: At One’s Pleasure

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Who didn’t know that Yuan Qianmo wanted to marry Yan Zhexian to pave the way for him to take control of the Fane of Death after becoming a God?

The Yanluo clan was also very satisfied with Yuan Qianmo, who couldn’t find any flaws.

Yan Zhexian and Yuan Qianmo had met several times under the deliberate matchmaking of the two gods. They might not have any feelings, but they definitely appreciated each other.

The news of their engagement spread throughout the Infernal Court.

It was a foregone conclusion, but Zhang Ruochen came out of nowhere and impregnated Yan Zhexian. Yuan Qianmo, who ranked first in the Tome of the Divines, lost a lot of faces and became a laughingstock.

‘Zhang Ruochen, you have the nerve to claim that you had a relationship with Yuan Qianmo? And called him brother Yuan?

‘Yuan Qianmo was too kind to you for not chopping you into pieces.’

Everyone thought about it and suddenly understood.

A large group of Supreme Saint realm powerhouses from the Fane of Death had gathered here. Their power was so terrifying that even an ordinary Paramount Realm Supreme Saint would have to bow his head, let alone Zhang Ruochen.

Obviously, Zhang Ruochen was afraid!

More and more people mocked and ridiculed him.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t care and said, “Everyone, leave. That’s all for today.”

How could Que Shenzi be fooled by Zhang Ruochen? He said in a deep voice, “Zhang Ruochen, you killed the Supreme Saint of the Fane of Death. Such arrogance! Where will the Fane of Death’s face be if I don’t skin you alive?”

Zhang Ruochen frowned and said, “Brother Yuan and I have already made it clear that Ji Fanxin killed Shan Qiu. Why are you still holding a grudge? How can the Fane of Death be so petty? Where’s your big heart?”

Que Shenzi said, “It’s useless to push it to anyone. Today, I’ll give you two choices. Either you walk out of the Sevenstar Imperial Palace and fight with me to end the grudge between the Fane of Death and you.

“Or I break into the Sevenstar Imperial Palace and skin you alive to avenge the Supreme Saint Shan Qiu.”

As Que Shenzi spoke, he took out a human head-sized Inscription-Suppressing Stone.

This Inscription-Suppressing Stone was refined by an Archsaint Array Master of the Fane of Death. Before it could be activated, the inscriptions of the array, the lines of the Supreme Saint, and the Divine Marks around it began to become unstable.

There were powerful figures from various forces gathered here. There was no lack of discerning people.

Que Shenzi might not be able to break into the Sevenstar Imperial Palace. Still, with the help of the Archsaint Array Master’s Inscription-Suppressing Stone, Zhang Ruochen might not be able to defend it.

Xuan Zehai sighed. “The Fane of Death is too ruthless! Many powerhouses had gathered, which was equivalent to blocking Zhang Ruochen’s escape route. If Que Shenzi came out again with the Archsaint Array Master’s Inscription-Suppressing Stone, no matter what Zhang Ruochen chose, he would be humiliated today. It might even be possible…”

Yan Zhexian instinctively felt that Zhang Ruochen deserved it, but she thought that no matter what, he was still the child’s father. If Zhang Ruochen humiliated her, wouldn’t he be humiliated as well?

Nothing can be done now. The Fane of Death was pressuring him. Zhang Ruochen couldn’t escape or fight, but no one came to help him. There wasn’t even a cultivator to stop the fight.

Who was he to blame?

It was all his fault. He was arrogant and didn’t know how to control himself.

Yan Huangtu saw that Yan Zhexian had a strange expression. He smiled. “If Xian ‘er can’t bear it, I can mobilize the power of the Yanluo clan to help him resolve this crisis. We might not be able to suppress the Fane of Death, but with our help, the Fane of Death won’t go too far.”

In the royal city, the only people that the Fane of Death could worry about seemed to be the Yanluo clan.

Yan Zhexian asked, “What do you mean by not going too far?”

Yan Huangtu saw that Yan Zhexian was soft-hearted after all. He said, “I think we can still save Zhang Ruochen’s life and cultivation.”

First, Yuan Qianmo was humiliated, and now a Supreme Saint had died. How could the Fane of Death let Zhang Ruochen go so easily?

Protecting Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation and life was the limit of what Yan Huangtu could do.

As for whether the Fane of Death wanted Zhang Ruochen to kneel down and admit his mistake, skin him alive, or take away the Supreme Artifact, it wasn’t something the Yanluo clan could control!

Even the Fane of Destiny couldn’t control it!

They didn’t see that the mediation of the Fane of Destiny had just ended in the Oort Cloud Asteroid Belt, and the action against Zhang Ruochen had started again.

While Yan Zhexian was deep in thought, Zhang Ruochen agreed without hesitation on the street. He said, “Good! A battle to resolve the enmity. That’s a good suggestion.”

Zhang Ruochen walked out of the Sevenstar Imperial Palace’s defensive array as he spoke.

All the Supreme Saints of the Fane of Death were overjoyed.

Great!

Zhang Ruochen was so stupid. He actually dared to walk out of the Sevenstar Imperial Palace. Without the Sevenstar Imperial Palace, it would be easy to deal with him.

The four White Reapers deliberately moved and released the precepts to condense a Precept Domain to prevent Zhang Ruochen from escaping back to the Sevenstar Imperial Palace.

Many cultivators watching the battle shook their heads. They all felt that Zhang Ruochen had become a fish in a barrel in the Fane of Death.

Since Que Shenzi dared to challenge him, he was undoubtedly confident of winning.

Once he defeated Zhang Ruochen, it would not be as simple as losing. He could be humiliated or even lose his cultivation.

Que Shenzi did not waste time with Zhang Ruochen. Divine light burst out from his body. The Evil Death Qi, containing divine power, surged out and rushed toward Zhang Ruochen like a huge wave.

The peak of the Banshi Isshou Realm!

And…

He had pure divine power.

Que Shenzi didn’t have a Demigod-level physique, nor did he evolve from a divine corpse.

It was because his mother was a god. He had been nourished by the purest divine Qi in her womb. There were precept marks all over his body.

Luo Shengtian and Luo Sha also had a mother in godhood. They were born with the same trait. However, their divine power had been sealed since they were young, and the seal hadn’t been completely broken.

Que Shenzi was the first person Zhang Ruochen had met who had a divine mother and had ultimately released the divine power in his body.

They were both in the Banshi Isshou Realm, but Que Shenzi was much stronger than Lord Ironclad.

WHOOSH!

100 million Divine Marks of Fire appeared on Zhang Ruochen’s left leg. They turned into blazing divine fire and blocked the evil death qi.

“You dare to show 100,000,000 precept marks?”

Que Shenzi roared gloomily. He rushed out of the black evil death qi and pressed out with his palm.

There were tens of millions of precept marks on his palm alone.

There were 300,000,000,000 precept marks on his entire arm. The precept marks on his shoulders, chest, abdomen, and head gradually became bright and released terrifying divine power.

Zhang Ruochen sighed lightly. He used Yanshen’s leg to stabilize his body. In his right arm, a tiger’s roar shook the sky. He struck out with the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Palm Strike.

The palm power was powerful and fierce.

BOOM!

They fought with strength.

The two retreated at the same time.

Que Shenzi was shocked. He couldn’t help but raise his hand to look.

Zhang Ruochen’s palm power was originally extreme with absolute Yang Qi, like a burning star. However, Que Shenzi felt a vortex force that swallowed all his power when they clashed. Some of his power was even counter-acted.

“Again.”

Que Shenzi’s eyes revealed seriousness. He let out a long cry, and the precept marks on his body appeared densely. The power waves he released turned the green stone street into dust.

It must be known that since ancient times, countless gods had passed through the green stone street in the Royal City of Hundred Clans.

A single footprint of a god was more powerful than a hundred Divine Marks.

Because of this, the green stone on the street wouldn’t be destroyed for ten thousand years.

Que Shenzi’s palms struck out together. Before the palm print strike, the precept marks surged out first, bursting out with the power of sky-shattering and cloud-dispersing.

The cultivators watching the battle were shocked and retreated. They were afraid that the defensive inscriptions here wouldn’t be able to withstand such a powerful force.

It was strange that Zhang Ruochen didn’t use the Power of Dimension to escape or dodge. He also struck out one palm after another.

Each palm print was like a tiger’s roar and a dragon’s roar. It was powerful and domineering.

But when their palms collided, all the power disappeared without much spillover. It was as if… They were faking it.

All the cultivators watching the battle frowned.

Xuan Qingying said, “Que Shenzi doesn’t seem as strong as we thought.”

“No, Que Shenzi is still very strong. His body’s 3.6 billion precept marks can continuously erupt with infinite divine power. I have to be careful. It should be said that Zhang Ruochen is not as weak as everyone thought,” Xuan Zehai said.

Yan Huangtu had been watching intently. He sighed. “Zhang Ruochen’s Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill has most likely been integrated and achieved the great success of doing as he pleases! It’s too terrifying. He did it so quickly. I underestimated him.”

Yan Huangtu could see that every time Zhang Ruochen struck out, a faint yin-yang five elements mark would appear on his palm concisely, dissolving Que Shenzi’s palm power into oblivion.

‘The palm technique and the Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill could be combined at will. Wasn’t that the grand completion of the realm?’

However, Yan Huangtu didn’t know that after Zhang Ruochen’s enlightenment and his spiritual power surged, he could use the saintwill at will. However, he was still far from the grand completion of the realm.

Now, he had only fused six types of saintwill.

If nothing unexpected happened, Zhang Ruochen knew that he still had to fuse three types of saintwill to truly reach the level of Grade One Saintwill. At that time, he wouldn’t be able to call it the Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill anymore!

That will be the merging of Yin, Yang, the five elements, time, and space.

Zhang Ruochen only understood this after the Dragon Lord pointed it out.

If Zhang Ruochen only fused the Yin, Yang, and the five elements, he would most likely end up like Bai Qing’er had predicted and die on the path of fusing the Grade One Saintwill. Even if he succeeded by luck, he could only reach the level of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, cultivated by Yan Wushen, which was considered a pseudo Grade One Saintwill.

However, Saint Monk Xumi paved the way for Zhang Ruochen 800 years ago and passed on the mantle of time and space to him.

Only with time and space as carriers could he withstand the five elements, Yin and Yang.

The combination of the nine paths truly encompassed everything. Yin, yang, the five elements, time, and space could change, evolve, and contain everything indefinitely. They became one with the entire universe.

Putting that aside, Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power had reached the 68th level. His control over the Demigod’s physical power had reached an unprecedented level. With the saintwill in his palm technique, it would be easily resolved no matter how powerful Que Shenzi’s attack was. Zhang Ruochen’s power had reached the 68th level.

The more they fought, the more they felt that Zhang Ruochen was terrifying. He was simply unfathomable.

Those cultivators who wanted to see Zhang Ruochen make a fool of himself were already dumbfounded.
