God Emperor - Chapter 1258

Chapter 1258: Thousand Beast Treasure Mirror

The overwhelming demonic Qi vanished from the sky. The heavy pressure dissipated too. Everyone let out a sigh of relief.

“It’s that kitchen knife again. If it dares to go against the Ancient Dragon Scale, it must not be a simple saint weapon.”

“Who exactly is the girl that Zhang Ruochen found? Why is she so strong?”

…

Qing Mo and the young Manlong Dragon lord’s battle earlier had already shocked all the Saints there. The previous hit floored all the people even more. Fear filled their eyes. They didn’t dare to underestimate Qing Mo anymore.

Even the Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon was stunned. He rushed down from the sky, widening his one eye at Qing Mo on the ground.

The Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon’s head was like a menacing mountain. Qing Mo shrunk back in fear. She felt helpless and her legs kept trembling. Her teeth chattered too. She was like a frightened little chick.

In the distance, the young Manlong Dragon lord clenched his teeth at Qing Mo’s weak image. “Your Majesty, don’t be fooled by her appearances,” he reminded the Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon. “She’s just pretending. She’s actually very cynical, wanting to disguise herself as a lamb. She might have her eyes on your ears or claws.”

The Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon was fearful too. Earlier, he had activated the Savage Barren Strength of the Ancient Dragon Scale, but it was still sent flying. A regular Saint would never have such power.

He screamed and turned his head. He flew out of the Dragon Fire Island and into the Yin Yang Sea to search for the Ancient Dragon Scale that had fallen into the water.

“I was so scared!”

Qing Mo clutched her chest with her small hands and let out a long sigh. Then she put away the silver knife in the air.

After the Ancient Dragon Scale was knocked out, the spatial lock was undone too. Zhang Ruochen brought Ao Xinyan across the space to Qing Mo’s side.

Zhang Ruochen was impressed too. He looked away from Qing Mo’s face and to the silver knife in her hands. He grew thoughtful.

“This is…my knife…”

Qing Mo quickly hid it behind her, fearing that Zhang Ruochen would steal it.

Zhang Ruochen smiled, shaking his head. “No one wants your knife. You did well. Let’s go. Let’s leave the Dragon Fire Sword.”

Just as they were about to leave, Zhang Ruochen felt a strong Holy Qi wave before him. A moment later, a handsome man with white hair appeared a few hundred feet before him.

Prince White Li’s robes fluttered despite the lack of wind. His eyes were very deep. “Zhang Ruochen, where is my sister?”

It was a monotone question, but it carried boundless murderous intent. Sand and pebbles flew within miles of them.

“You are Princess White Li’s brother?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

This man looked similar to Princess White Li. They both had exquisite features, white skin, and even their auras were similar. However, the man’s power waves were multiple times stronger than Princess White Li.

“I can sense that she’s still alive,” Prince White Li said. “If you hand her over, I can consider leaving your corpse complete.”

Prince White Li’s abilities were indeed strong, but Zhang Ruochen wasn’t afraid. He just smiled. “Don’t worry. Your sister is very well. She is currently cultivating in a wonderful place. You can meet her after she comes out.”

The scroll world was currently evolving into the Universe World. Right now, it was like the chaotic universe in primitive times. All sorts of spiritual medicines would be born.

Cultivating there, Princess White Li could improve immensely in a day. After coming out, she might even surpass Prince White Li.

Zhang Ruochen was speaking the truth, but Prince White Li obviously wouldn’t believe him. Without speaking further, he reached out a hand and pressed down, while uttering, “Taixuan Ice Qi.”

His hand transformed into a cat with sharp claws. Icy Qi surged out, forming icicles in the air. They connected the ground with the heavens. It was like the entire world was frozen.

Prince White Li was a Taigu Remain. He had the same powerful physique and talent as Princess White Li, but his cultivation had already entered the Saint Realm.

The Saints on Dragon Fire Island all fled, fearing they’d touch the Taixuan Ice Qi. Once they did, they may become ice statues.

Zhang Ruochen naturally knew how powerful Prince White Li was. Instead of going up against him, Zhang Ruochen used the Great Spatial Move and appeared 100 miles away with Qing Mo and Ao Xinyan.

Then he hurried to the north of Dragon Fire Island. He rushed to the silver Dead Soul Ancient Ship on the seaside.

Zhang Ruochen had boarded a black ship coming here and stopped at the east side. However, there were many Evil Saint Intent Bodies and unknown dangers in it. How could he continue to board it? There were ships stopped everywhere along the coast, so Zhang Ruochen naturally just chose one.

Huang Yanchen and Blackie had received Zhang Ruochen’s message long ago. They’d already boarded the silver ship and were standing on the deck, waiting for them.

Zhang Ruochen’s trio approached the seaside like three bolts of light.

“You collected a mature Nanling Dragon Fire and still want to escape?”

The Immortal Goddess stood in the sky with an evil smile. She opened her slender fingers. Red flames appeared in her palm. The flames wrapped around a circular badge, covered in beastly rune carvings.

Reaching out a finger, she flicked it lightly.

Roar!

One beastly rune grew brighter on the red badge. Finally, it even let out a beastly roar and rushed out of the badge, transforming into a true demon.

It was a Three-headed Dragon Lizard.

The Three-headed Dragon Lizard was a Grade Seven mid-level beast. It was more than 300 feet long and looked like a huge flying lizard, but it had three dragon heads.

Any Grade Seven mid-level beast was feared by Xuanhuang Saints. The more powerful ones could even fight with Saints in the Absolute Land Realm and Heaven Pass Realm.

The Immortal Goddess’ fingers continued moving. Thirteen huge beasts flew out of the badge. There were three Grade Seven mid-level beasts and ten lower-level beasts.

Fourteen huge beasts in total flew in the air. They cast a large shadow on the ground.

“What’s going on? How can she summon 14 Grade Seven beasts at once? Is it an illusion?”

Even with Zhang Ruochen’s mindset, he was still fazed. If the Immortal Goddess really could control 14 Grade Seven beasts, then she was stronger than an entire clan by herself. How could that not be shocking?

On the silver ship, Blackie’s eyes widened. “Did she receive the legendary Thousand Beast Treasure Mirror?” it yelped.

Zhang Ruochen had a strong sense of danger. He used the Spatial Move again, bringing Qing Mo and Ao Xinyan to the silver ship.

At the same time, the four fastest mid-level beasts dove down. They attacked Zhang Ruochen, Qing Mo, Ao Xinyan, and Huang Yanchen.

Zhang Ruochen summoned the Abyss Ancient Sword and activated the Destruction of the Thousand-patterns. He struck the claws of a mid-level fiery turtledove.

Crackle!

The scales on the fiery turtledove shone with a layer of saintly light. It reduced the Abyss Ancient Sword’s power. The sword only left a bloody gash on the claw without being able to cut it off.

In pain, the fiery turtledove screamed and flapped its huge fiery wings, rising up into the air.

Next, Zhang Ruochen ripped apart the space. He sent out a spatial crack, forcing back the Three-headed Dragon Lizard that was attacking Huang Yanchen.

Blackie transformed into a huge cat, radiating with powerful aura. It protected Ao Xinyan behind it and fought with another mid-level beast.

More and more savage beasts flew above the silver ship and kept attacking. Zhang Ruochen, Huang Yanchen, and Ao Xinyan were all injured. They had to use all their might to defend themselves.

Zhang Ruochen sensed slight ripples in Spiritual Qi and yelled, “The ship will sail soon. Everyone, keep going for a bit longer.”

Indeed, the Spiritual Qi ripples above the silver ship grew stronger and stronger after a while. Bolts of thick silver lightning formed, streaking between the ship and sky.

Kaboom.

The Dead Soul Ancient Ship trembled and then set off again, sailing toward the center of the Yin Yang Sea.

On the Dragon Fire Island, Prince White Li stood with his hands behind his back. He watched the silver ship fade into the distance. He also saw a huge black cat still fighting with the Grade Seven savage beasts.

He glanced at Prince Black Li. “Such a powerful black cat. It has already ripped apart three lower-level beasts. It must be a traitor of your race, right?”

Prince Black Li’s eyes shone with cold light. “It is indeed strong, but I’ve never seen it before. It shouldn’t be nameless in our race with those abilities.”

“How do you plan on taking care of this?” Prince White Li asked.

“Since it chose to go with Zhang Ruochen, then it is a traitor of our race,” Prince Black Li said. “It is the embarrassment of the Black Li Cat Race. If I meet it again, I will arrest it personally and bring it back for the clan leaders to judge.”

The silver ship was extremely fast and soon disappeared across the sea.

As the distance grew further and further, the Immortal Goddess couldn’t control the Grade Seven beasts anymore. She could only summon them back.

Of the 14 Grade Seven beasts she’d released, only eight returned alive. They rushed into the red badge.

“I’ve actually lost six Grade Seven beasts. Next time I see Zhang Ruochen, I will make him make up for the losses.”

The Immortal Goddess wasn’t upset about failing to kill Zhang Ruochen. She still had a smile.

Landing on the ground, she went to Qi Sheng and had a caring expression. “How are your injuries?”

“No problem.” Qi Sheng stood up straight. His red eyes stared in the direction that the silver ship had disappeared in. “Give me the Three-pattern Saint Blood Pill and 10,000 drops of divine blood. I will try for the mid-level now.”

The Immortal Goddess knew that Qi Sheng had been affected by the previous battle and wanted desperately to improve his cultivation. However, she still reminded him, “Entering the mid-level is only a matter of time for you. There’s no need to use the Three-pattern Saint Blood Pill, right? Using it for the Xuanhuang Realm is the best choice.”

“To me, having a breakthrough now is the best choice.”

Qi Sheng’s eyes were sharper than a sword. He stared at the Immortal Goddess. In the end, she could only sigh and take out the Saint Blood Pill and drops of divine blood.

“Zhang Ruochen has become your mortal enemy. I will do my best to help you kill him.”
