God Emperor - Chapter 1303
Chapter 1303: Outer-realm Power
Zhang Ruochen grabbed forward. He performed space twist and moved the destructive power from the explosion of that Absolute Ground Blood Saint to somewhere else.
“They’re ruthless. An absolute ground saint had to blow up his own saint source.” Zhang Ruochen whispered.
An absolute ground saint was qualified to be a palace leader or a saint elder in Blood God Sect, yet immortal vampires were willing to let him explode to break the space formation.
Cang Lan Martial Saint had already mostly recovered, and the second that the Absolute Ground saint blew himself up, she grabbed toward the space, and then a saint sword flew out, which became around one hundred and fifty feet long. She stuck it in the ground in front of her, and it turned into a sword wall.
The Taoist temple contained mysterious power, and with the sword wall formed by the giant sword, it warded off that power of destruction. Cang Lan Martial Saint and the six female saints stood behind the sword wall, so they weren’t injured.
“The space formation has been destroyed. We have to get out of here as soon as possible.”
Zhang Ruochen transmitted his voice to Qing Mo, and then, they turned into a trace of white light and a trace of blue light, respectively, and rushed out of the Taoist temple.
“You’re not getting away with this!” someone shouted down the mountain.
And then, a blood-red cloud more than a thousand feet long rushed to the top and tried to stop Zhang Ruochen and Qing Mo.
A giant human being stood in the blood-red cloud, and he was fifteen feet tall. The saint might coming from him made Zhang Ruochen and Qing Mo feel as if they were being suffocated.
That person standing in the blood-red cloud was one of the four heavenly pass saints, Miefeng Blood Saint.
Before that absolute ground blood saint blew up his saint source, the immortal vampire saints were worried that they might be hit, so they all retreated to the foot of the mountain. Now, they had surrounded the elephant-shaped stone mountain, and they were rushing to the top again.
Qing Mo was terrified. She stared at Zhang Ruochen and said, “What should we do now, my lord?”
“We have to get back to the Taoist temple to team up with them. This might be the only way we can survive this.”
Just as they were retreating back to the Taoist temple, Zhang Ruochen heard some bizarre sounds again. Some of them were blood-curdling and shill cries, some were roars from savage beasts, some were women’s cries, and some were the clacking sounds of blades…
Black shadows rushed out of the Taoist temple. Some looked like children, some were elders, some were savage beasts. All those shadows were cast upon the ground. There were so many of them that it was impossible to count them.
“Ghosts?”
“What are they? I feel like they’re yelling.”
…
Even Qing Mo and the female saints saw those shadows this time. They were all terrified and tried to dodge them. They didn’t dare touch them at all.
Many of the shadows from the Taoist temple looked like evil saint intent bodies, and there were too many of them.
Even on the ancient ghost boat. there hadn’t been so many evil saint intent bodies.
What were they?
“That absolute ground blood saint drew too much attention. Some incredible being might’ve been alerted.”
Zhang Ruochen heard a bizarre sound from the depths of the Taoist temple.
And then, the base of the Taoist temple cracked, and a horrifying force came from the underground as if an ancient creature had just woken up.
Zhang Ruochen got goosebumps at this moment, and his hands were freezing.
The forces from the underground of the Taoist temple were as terrifying as those from all the immortal vampire blood saints combined. Qing Mo was so scared that her legs were shaking, and she kept clenching her teeth.
“Another evil god is born?”
The six female saints were also too scared to walk. They all looked to Cang Lan Martial Saint as they wanted to know whether the martial saint had some strategies against it.
Cang Lan Martial Saint was also concerned, but she remained calm.
Obviously, they couldn’t get back to the Taoist temple now. They had to find another way out.
Zhang Ruochen looked to the top of the mountain, and there was mist around the top. He could see the ancient buildings among the mist, and they were giving out holy light.
“Keep going up.”
Zhang Ruochen suppressed the fright with his mind power. He let out a trace of his mind power, and it condensed into lightning, carrying Qing Mo away, rushing to the top.
Cang Lan Martial Saint reached out her left hand and wielded a long saint power river, covering the six female saints and following Zhang Ruochen.
Hong Long.
The base of the Taoist temple was completely shattered, and a ravine that was five feet wide was formed.
A death force gushed out from the underground, and the entire sky was covered by the death force.
Zhang Ruochen’s heart skipped a beat after he took a look behind him.
“That is… devil death Qi.”
This wasn’t the first time Zhang Ruochen had seen devil death Qi. When he was still refining in Xuanwu Vold World, he had seen the power of devil death Qi.
A Treacherous Sea Pillar that contained devil death Qi could kill a Blue Fire Xuanwu that had reached the level of saint king.
The devil death Qi coming from the underground of the Taoist temple was the same as that within the Treacherous Sea Pillar.
Zhang Ruochen couldn’t help being startled seeing devil death Qi again.
Those blood saints all screamed in horror the second they got touched by the devil death Qi.
The death Qi penetrated their blood and saint Qi, and their skin turned black immediately. They started to rot, and the devil death Qi started to destroy their bodies and affected their minds. Their eyes turned red, and they became violent and crazy.
Zhu Qingyi could sense the power of that evil death Qi. Her eyes popped, and she said, “Retreat back to the foot of the mountain. Don’t touch the devil death Qi.”
Hua!
A ball of black light flew out from under the Taoist temple, floating in the sky.
All the saints on the mountain, including Zhang Ruochen and Cang Lan Martial Saints, could feel the terrifying forces coming from the black light ball.
All those tens of thousands of shadows seemed to be controlled by the black light ball, rushing in two different directions.
Some of them rushed to the top, chasing Zhang Ruochen, Cang Lan Martial Saint and the others. Some rushed downwards, chasing the immortal vampire blood saints.
The shadows were incredibly fast, and they carried devil death Qi.
One of the blood saints was caught by hundreds of shadows, and he felt that he was being repressed by hundreds of mountains. He felt on the ground and yelled in agony.
After a short while, that blood saint turned into a pool of black blood.
And then, another powerful shadow was added to those shadows, and it looked exactly like that blood saint.
Seeing that scene, even the bloodthirsty blood saints were horrified. They ran faster.
“What’s been released from under the Taoist temple?”
“Terrifying! Every time they kill someone, there’ll be one more shadow?”
…
That unknown creature seemed to have tens of thousands of shadows, and it would gain one more shadow each time it killed someone.
Zhang Ruochen and Cang Lan Martial Saint were sweating. They ran as fast as possible, as they didn’t want to end up like that blood saint.
However, the black shadows got closer and closer, and they were about to encircle them.
Cang Lan Martial Saint’s eyes gleamed, and two phoenix prints emerged from her pupils. She bit her fingers and waves her hand, and saint blood dripped from the wound.
Chi Chi. Each drop of the saint blood turned into a cluster of fire, and the fire looked like feathers of phoenixes.
The feather fire flew out, clashing with the shadows that were chasing them, burning those shadows into smoke.
“Blood of a true phoenix.”
Zhang Ruochen was startled, as he didn’t expect Cang Lan Martial Saint to have such powerful body constitution.
Only those who had finished refining their true phoenix bodies could transform their blood into the blood of true phoenixes. The fire contained in the phoenix blood could burn all the demons in the world, making it some of the most precious blood in the world.
True phoenix bodies could rival the bodies of true dragons.
No wonder she’s ranked the first among the nine heavenly maidens, Zhang Ruochen thought.
Cang Lan Martial Saint kept spilling her blood to stalk the black shadows that were chasing them. Eventually, they reached the top and rushed into a blue temple.
The blue temple gave out holy light to ward off those black shadows so that they couldn’t trespass in it.
Zhang Ruochen and Cang Lan Martial Saint both relaxed after that. Their faces were pale, and they gave each other a look. They then laughed because they were lucky enough to have survived.
“I heard you mention devil death Qi just now. Do you know what the hell it was that rushed out of the Taoist temple?”
Zhang Ruochen was so tired that he sat on the ground. He answered, “I’ve come into contact with devil death Qi before. I don’t know it that well, but I reckon it might be a power from the outer realm.”
“Outer-realm power?”
Cang Lang Martial Saint was a bit surprised. Her breasts bounced, and then she kept asking, “Which void world is it from?”
Zhang Ruochen was rendered silent. He recalled the treacherous sea pillar he saw in Xuanwu Void World. Even an upper-class void world wasn’t able to bear such a horrific weapon.
Was there really a powerful world like Kunlun’s Field in the universe, and the creatures from that world had already set foot in Kunlun’s Field?
Cang Lan Martial Saint wasn’t stupid. Seeing Zhang Ruochen silent, she started to speculate and whispered, “Is it true that Xuanji Sect was annihilated by an outer-realm power?”
Zhang Ruochen walked to a higher position in the blue palace. He utilized his heavenly eyes and looked down at the Taoist temple, observing that floating black light ball.
That black light ball seemed to be covering a long white stone.
Wait, that wasn’t a stone.
It was a bone…a phalange.
