God Emperor - Chapter 1429
Chapter 1429: First Encounter With The Luosha (2)
Around 1,000 miles from land, there was a wall of light from a world. When Zhang Ruochen went through it, an explosion sounded in his chest.
Boom.
An invisible force shattered the Saint Image Rune that Yan Liren had given him.
I really can’t bring things like Saint Image Runes onto the merits battlefield.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t find it too regrettable. After all, that Saint Image Rune had already become tattered. He could only use it once or twice more at most.
Right now, Zhang Ruochen was observing where Mu Lingxi was.
The distance between them kept expanding. They were already 100,000 miles apart. He couldn’t detect her location even with Spiritual Power.
He could only estimate that Mu Lingxi was southeast of him. They’d also both fallen in the southern world of Zuling Field.
The Saints of the Shatuo Seven Fields were attacked from the ground as soon as they passed the wall of light.
Rip!
A barrel-like bolt of purple lightning flew out of a towering mountain. It charged into the sky and attacked a Saint, ripping his body apart.
An almost three-meter-tall Luosha man hurled a golden spear. It carried an evil force. It flew 800 miles into the sky and pierced a Saint’s body.
…
The bloody battle had erupted before they had even stepped onto the battlefield. A few Saints were caught by surprise and died suddenly.
Zhang Ruochen was also attacked. A Luosha cultivator threw over a 100-meter-tall boulder, crashing toward him.
Zhang Ruochen opened his eyes. Two beams of light shot out from his eyes, hitting the boulder.
Kaboom.
The boulder exploded into shards of rock and fell to the ground.
“So powerful. He can actually penetrate a boulder with the light from his eyes.”
There were 12 Luosha cultivators on the ground. They realized that Zhang Ruochen was a fierce figure and that they couldn’t defeat him, so they retreated immediately.
Boom.
Zhang Ruochen landed on the ground, creating a dozen-meter-wide ditch.
That ditch happened to be right before the 12 Luosha.
“One Saint and 11 Half-Saints. Not bad.” Zhang Ruochen scanned them and nodded lightly.
The 12 Luosha were all male. Just as the records said, they were extremely ugly.
The Luosha in the Saint Realm had a pair of bony wings. His eyes were even bigger than Blackie’s, but his nose was very flat, like a gorilla’s. Revealing a mouth of messy teeth, he roared, “Kill him!”
The 11 Half-Saints attacked at the same time. They grabbed their heavy weapons and charged at Zhang Ruochen.
The Luosha Saint unfurled his bone wings and flew backwards quickly, wanting to escape.
Whoosh!
Zhang Ruochen exhaled. His breath turned into a windstorm and flew out with hundreds of wind blades. It ripped the 11 Luosha Half-Saints into shreds in an instant.
“A middle Saint wants to escape right before me?”
Zhang Ruochen used his mind to make the Abyss Ancient Sword fly out.
“Master, I’ll do it.”
The Holy Carnivorous Flower’s voice sounded within Zhang Ruochen.
A vine rushed out of Zhang Ruochen’s back. It whipped at the Luosha Saint. Merely this one hit broke the body in half, even shattering the saint soul.
Then the Holy Carnivorous Flower curled around the Luosha Saint’s corpse. It dragged it back and threw it before Zhang Ruochen with a heavy thud.
Zhang Ruochen pulled out a bottle. He extracted a drop of blood from the 12 corpses and placed them into the bottle.
“The merits of a Half-Saint go from 10 to 1,000.
“A Saint’s merits go from 1,000 to 100,000.
“This means that the weakest lower Saint is 1,000 merits. The strongest Absolute Saints are 100,000 merits. Those are probably the ones who can fight with Half Saint Kings. Regular Absolute Saints are probably only a few dozen thousand merits.
“Collecting merits is faster by killing stronger Luosha.”
Zhang Ruochen observed his surroundings. He discovered that this was a primitive forest and there was a human tribe nearby.
The Holy Carnivorous Flower turned the 12 Luosha cultivators into fertilizer. It was absorbing it now.
Zhang Ruochen entered the tribe area but saw that all the humans had been killed. More accurately, they’d been eaten. White bones were all over the ground.
There was a big cauldron on the altar of the tribe. There were a dozen women and kids cooking inside. Their flesh was overdone now and a meat fragrance wafted out.
Seeing this scene made Zhang Ruochen’s scalp go numb. “Get out of here!” he growled.
The sound wave flooded out in all directions, shattering the rocks and turning the trees into dust.
The Luosha hiding underground were all thrown out from the reverberations.
There were more than 30 Luosha cultivators here. Some were Half-Saints; others were Fish-Dragon cultivators. Some of the Luosha were women and each one was beautiful. They had delicate figures and white skin. Their eyes were unusually mesmerizing.
One of the most beautiful Luosha women was a ninth class Half-Saint. She cast a hallucination spell and walked toward Zhang Ruochen. Her white clothing slid to the ground by itself, revealing a sexy and enticing body.
“You dare to try to fool me with these low-level hallucinations?”
Zhang Ruochen punched forward, breaking apart the Luosha woman’s head.
Then he stabbed the Abyss Ancient Sword into the ground. Dense Sword Qi automatically flew out of the blade, penetrating the Luoshas.
A moment later, only corpses remained on the ground.
Zhang Ruochen collected their blood and handed the corpses to the Holy Carnivorous Flower to eat.
Zhang Ruochen was shocked by the scene before him. He couldn’t recompose himself. He activated the Five Elements Chaotic Body and manipulated the force of the ground.
Kaboom.
Instantly, a large amount of soil surged out of the ground and covered the entire tribe area.
Zhang Ruochen spent some time to refine the Luosha weapons into the Abyss Ancient Sword. When he stood up, he discovered bits of light flying over from the horizon.
Whoosh!
Five communication runes flew into Zhang Ruochen’s hands. They were from Mu Lingxi, Wu Hao, Su Qingling, Bu Ji, and Han Qiu.
They were asking Zhang Ruochen for his location, wanting to meet up with him.
“I’ll help Mu Lingxi find the Phoenix Nest first and get the inheritance of the Ice Fire Phoenix,” Zhang Ruochen decided.
Other than Mu Lingxi’s communication runes, Zhang Ruochen crumbled the other runes into dust and sprinkled them on the ground.
Mu Lingxi told Zhang Ruochen that she was in the Whale River Territory of the southern world.
Zhang Ruochen had made a rough estimate of his location. He took out the map and quickly found the Whale River Territory on it.
“It’s 4,300,000 miles away. It’s so far.”
Zhang Ruochen took out a communication rune and carved some words onto it. Stay in the Whale River Territory. Find a safe place to hide and wait for me.
Then he inserted a bit of Mu Lingxi’s Saintly Way aura into the rune and sent the rune out.
“Holy Carnivorous Flower,” Zhang Ruochen called.
The flower transformed into a dozen-meter-long green vine and appeared beside Zhang Ruochen. The flower at the tip was fully blooming. It was beautiful, with a mesmerizing silhouette at the center of the flower. “Master,” it said sweetly. “What orders do you have?”
Zhang Ruochen tossed a storage bag over. “This bag contains Zuling Field’s map and two bottles. Follow the map and take me to the Whale River Territory.
“Collect a drop of blood or a shred of soul from the Luosha that you kill along the way and put them into the bottle.
“Store the Luosha weapons and treasures in the storage bag. Understood?”
“Master, what about you?” the Holy Carnivorous Flower asked.
“I will focus on refining the Ning True Saint Dew and reaching the True Saint Realm.”
After giving the instructions, Zhang Ruochen entered the Time and Space Crystal and started cultivating.
With the Holy Carnivorous Flower’s current cultivation, it could hold its ground even against regular True Saints. Zhang Ruochen was quite reassured.
If it really ran into a difficult opponent, Zhang Ruochen would naturally come to help.
As the Saints Merits Battle started, the Saint King, Supreme Saint, and Deity battles were also going on.
Of course, the entire Heaven World was still more focused on the Saints Merits Battle. After all, everyone was familiar with the abilities of the top Saint Kings and Supreme Saints of Shatuo Seven Fields. They had their detailed information too.
As for the Saints, very few people paid attention to them before. Some excellent prides might appear with the potential of a young Supreme Saint or even god.
The worlds who were eighth, ninth, or tenth from the end of the western universe paid special attention to the Seven Fields Merits Battle because they felt extreme danger too.
If they couldn’t continue rising in the ranks, then they would also have to participate in this cruel battle to determine the fate of their world.
The world eighth from the end was called Yushan Field.
The various forces of Yushan Field were watching the scenes from the Saints Merits Battle.
A 2,000-foot-tall saintly image appeared on the ground. “Everyone, focus especially on the legendary Saints of Kunlun’s Field and Guanghan Field. Write their names onto the scrolls. These two worlds may be chosen as the newest battlefield. At that time, we can secretly interact with these geniuses and have them join Yushan Field to strengthen us.
“Joining the Yushan Field will definitely be better than staying in a world that will be destroyed. They wouldn’t refuse.”
Supreme Saints from Yuanze Insect Field, ninth from the end, and Ten Thousand Cities Field, tenth from the end, also appeared to give the same order to the forces.
In the Heaven World, the lower you were in the Ten Thousand Worlds Merits Rank, the more dangerous it was. They also needed to take in more talents from other worlds.
Back when Zuling Field was chosen as the battlefield, many Saints, Saint Kings, and even Supreme Saints joined other worlds.
Of course, other than the very excellent geniuses, the others who joined other worlds would have very low statuses. People would roll their eyes and look down on them no matter where they went. The only benefit was that they wouldn’t die.
