God Emperor - Chapter 1134

Chapter 1134: Qitian Crown Prince

The Shining Sun Arrow was suppressed below the cross shield. It trembled without stop and clanged but couldn’t break free.

The cross shield was made out of white stone. One horizontal slab and one vertical formed a 70-foot-tall cross that stood upon the ground. There were dark splotches of blood on the surface. It was unknown what powerful creature’s blood had dyed it; the stains were still unable to be erased.

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were trained on the blood spatters.

A vast sea of blood instantly appeared before his eyes. Many vortices formed in the sea as if wanting to drag his saint soul and spirit into it.

Hum.

Zhang Ruochen’s entire body shook suddenly. In his Sea of Qi, a flickering flame emitted brilliant light and poured out of his pupils.

He exhaled deeply and moved his eyes away, no longer looking at the cross shield. “Such a powerful weapon,” he said. “It might be passed down from the ancient times.”

The energy waves from the cross shield were both divine and eerie.

In the sky, Qi Sheng, crown prince of the Qitian Tribe, flew out of the blood-red door of light with a blood cloud under his feet. The cloud was vast with overlapping levels, and it covered the sky.

Qitian Crown Prince stood above the blood cloud and looked at the ground. He saw a huge shadow with six wings. It looked like a true body descending.

Qitian Crown Prince’s voice sounded within the cloud. “A while ago, I met a very powerful opponent and fought for two days and three nights, so I was late. Time and Space Descendant, thank you for waiting!”

Qitian Crown Prince was number one on the Outer Rank and definitely stronger than the Motian Crown Prince. What kind of creature could fight with him for two days and three nights in a row?

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed. He stared at the six shadows of the three pairs of wings with a serious expression.

An Immortal Vampire wouldn’t grow more flesh wings after becoming a Saint. They kept the same number of wings since birth. After entering the Saint Realm, their Blood Qi would grow richer as their cultivation improved. Then they could break through the restraints of the physical body and grow more blood wings.

Most Immortal Vampires only had one pair of flesh wings before the Saint Realm. Only those who had monstrously strong bodies could have two pairs.

In the legends, only Pluto was born with three pairs. As for the Blood Empress and Blood Demon from 800 years ago, Zhang Ruochen had seen very few records about them. He didn’t know how many wings they had before becoming a Saint.

But Qitian Crown Prince actually had three pairs. This scene really shocked Zhang Ruochen. However, Zhang Ruochen wasn’t afraid. So what if Qitian Crown Prince was comparable to Pluto when he was young?

The Time and Space Descendant didn’t fear any opponent.

“Do you want to fight?”

Zhang Ruochen’s aura kept rising. He waved the Abyss Ancient Sword and a Sword Qi territory appeared instantly. A sword pillar inside the territory shot straight into the clouds. It broke apart the blood cloud, connecting the earth and heavens.

Some of the Half-Saints of the Qingtian Tribe hurried over to this area and all knelt down. “Qitian Crown Prince, please kill Zhang Ruochen and take revenge for our crown prince and crown princess.”

“Qitian Crown Prince, please kill Zhang Ruochen and take revenge for our crown prince and crown princess.”

…

Qitian Crown Prince didn’t move because of this. Staring at Zhang Ruochen, he said, “We must fight, but not now. The World Spirit is about to be born. I trust that you don’t wish to waste your energy fighting with me either. Once we fight, we’ll only make it easier for the others, correct?”

In the Blue Dragon Void World, Zhang Ruochen and Qitian Crown Prince stood at the peak already, but they weren’t without enemies. Of the few that Zhang Ruochen knew, there were at least two that could counter them.

One was Qiu Yu, first of the Half-Saint Rank. The other was Emperor Tianming who’d been brought back to life. He was originally the Corpse Emperor.

Other than them, Motian Crown Prince, Monk Lidi, Xue Wuye, and the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon were all top-tier figures as well. Their abilities were only a bit weaker than super-top-tier figures. He didn’t know if they had any powerful trump cards either. If they used some extraordinary methods, even super-top-tier figures might not be able to win against them easily.

They were at the most critical moment now. If Zhang Ruochen and Qitian Crown Prince were both injured, it really would give the others an advantage.

One must admit that Qitian Crown Prince was calm and composed. Even though his sister had died under Zhang Ruochen’s sword, he could still remain logical.

People like him were the most frightening.

In the end, Qitian Crown Prince and Motian Crown Prince led the Immortal Vampires away from this land.

A moment later, there was a loud boom. The cross shield flew from the ground with turbulent power. It flew into the clouds and landed on Qitian Crown Prince’s back.

The cross shield weighed tens of thousands of pounds. When it landed on Qitian Crown Prince, he dipped down even with his cultivation.

Motian Crown Prince, Yellow Sky Crown Princess and the crown princes of the two other tribes all hurried over to join Qitian Crown Prince. This time, the heirs of seven of the ten tribes had all come to the Blue Dragon Void World.

The other three heirs were a bit older and had already reached the Saint Realm. Naturally, they lost the opportunity to enter the Blue Dragon Void World.

“With Qi Sheng’s cultivation and our help, we can definitely kill Zhang Ruochen,” Yellow Sky Crown Princess said. “Why didn’t you attack?”

She’d been shot by Zhang Ruochen’s arrow and was heavily injured, so she hated Zhang Ruochen.

“Not killing Zhang Ruochen would bring endless troubles,” Motian Crown Prince said seriously.

He was also curious as to why Qitian Crown Prince would choose to avoid the battle. With his abilities and the cross shield, he should be even stronger than Zhang Ruochen.

“You think I don’t want to kill him?” Qitian Crown Prince shook his head. A moment later, he said, “No one in the Blue Dragon Void World can kill him.”

“Yes,” Jingtian Crown Prince immediately said. “In the Blue Dragon Void World, Zhang Ruochen has the advantage of location and time. He can use spatial tactics so easily.”

“Not only does he have those advantages, he’s also strong himself,” Qitian Crown Prince said. “Actually…I’ve already fought with him.”

Everyone there froze. They’d already fought once?

“Earlier, when I used the God-killing Cross Shield against the Shining Sun Arrow, I already activated its power. I wanted to injure him without warning. Unfortunately, Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation and willpower are both very strong. He destroyed that force without getting hurt.”

Hearing his words, the crown princes and princess gasped. They were clear about the God-killing Cross Shield’s background. It had a very long history. A god had once been nailed to death on it.

The divine blood on it still hadn’t been erased.

“After that encounter, I had a clearer view of his abilities. Even if I use all my power to defeat him, it’ll have to be after 300 strikes. And that’s only if he doesn’t use the power of time and space. If he does, it’ll be hard to say who will win.”

Yellow Sky Crown Princess’ face was pale. “Zhang Ruochen is already so strong. If he continues maturing, won’t be become the next Saint Monk Xumi?”

Jingtian Crown Prince sighed. “He has just entered the Ninth Level and he hasn’t stabilized yet. Plus, he just experienced a huge battle and must have used up a great amount of Holy Qi. This is the best chance to kill him.”

“Not really,” Qitian Crown Prince said. “According to my estimates, Zhang Ruochen has already reached the Peak Realm of martial arts four times and has a sturdy foundation. Otherwise, he won’t have such powerful combat ability. If so, his Sea of Qi would be wider than most people. His Holy Qi won’t be dried up even after a huge battle.”

“Four Peak Realms? Isn’t that like you, then?” Yellow Sky Crown Princess widened her eyes in shock.

Qi Sheng’s accomplishments had always made them feel awe and hopelessness. It was impossible to imagine that someone was as terrifying as him.

Qitian Crown Prince had indeed reached the Peak Realm four times.

The humans must go to the Void World battlefield and kill native cultivators, accumulate military achievements, sacrifice to the gods and resonate with the gods to reach the Peak Realm of the Heavenly Realm.

However, the ancient tribes of Kunlun’s Field had ancient rituals that could also result in resonation with the gods. They didn’t need to go to the Void World battlefield.

The crown princes and princess all felt low and depressed.

“Other than Zhang Ruochen’s own power, there’s another reason,” Qitian Crown Prince said.

“What reason?” Motian Crown Prince’s features twitched. “Is it related to that powerful opponent you met?”

Qitian Crown Prince nodded. “It’s a human. He wasn’t any weaker than I. I fought for two days and three nights without defeating him. I was even injured.”

“That man’s utilization of martial techniques has reached the peak. I can’t explain it in words, but he’s far above me. If not for the fact that he hadn’t reached the Saint Realm yet, I would’ve suspected that he’s a human emperor that has suppressed his realm.”

Thinking of that human, Qitian Crown Prince still felt terror.

However, the man’s physique wasn’t as strong as him or Zhang Ruochen and he had some problems with his state. Plus, Qitian Crown Prince had the God-killing Cross Shield and many advantages but could only reach a tie.

Such a terrifying existence had appeared among the humans. This was why Qitian Crown Prince didn’t dare to go against Zhang Ruochen.

If Zhang Ruochen and that man worked together, Qitian Crown Prince would definitely lose. However, he didn’t know that the human he’d met was Emperor Tianming who had come back to life. He and Zhang Ruochen had quite a grudge and wouldn’t work together.
