God Emperor - Chapter 1498

Chapter 1498: Battle of Wits

Princess Luosha was a pinnacle absolute saint who was trying to become a half-step saint king.

There was a small purple cauldron on her palm, and the saintly way rules emanated from that cauldron.

Obviously, that small cauldron was a rules saint weapon.

When a monk became a pinnacle absolute saint, the saintly way rules in his or her body would hit their limit, and if someone wanted to advance to half-step or one-step saint king, he must comprehend more intricate saintly way rules.

For example, Princess Luosha practiced space rules, so there was only one ultimate space rule in her lower abdomen.

That space rule was a ‘rule seed,’ and only after her comprehending space ways could it grow and blossom. If a monk’s lower abdomen and body merged with space rules and heaven and earth, he would reach the most pinnacle realm under the Gods.

The saintly way rules in Princess Luosha’s body was ‘one,’ and the pinnacle realm under Gods was ‘infinity.’

Only after evolving from ‘infinity’ could someone become a God.

Comprehending the saintly ways in rules saint weapons could help a monk become a half-step or a first-step saint king more quickly.

Princess Luosha sensed that Zhang Ruochen was right behind her. She stopped comprehending, put back the purple cauldron and opened her eyes.

Zhang Ruochen sat down with his legs crossed beside her and said, “Seems like you’re about to become a half-step saint king.”

“I can only achieve that after the rules seed starts to grow, but now, it’s just awakened.”

Princess Luosha then looked at Zhang Ruochen and said, “You’re almost an absolute saint yourself, aren’t you?”

Both of them were shrewd enough to tell each other’s cultivation by one look.

Zhang Ruochen said, “One last step.”

“You haven’t reached the absolute level in space rules and time rules yet?” Princess Luosha asked.

Zhang Ruochen said, “Are you trying to fathom me?”

Zhang Ruochen only told her he was a space manipulator with space rules in his body before, and he’d never said he was a time manipulator.

Princess Luosha asked that because she wanted to know whether Zhang Ruochen was a time manipulator or not.

The most significant difference between space monks and space manipulators was whether they had time rules in their bodies or not.

“You don’t need to answer me if you don’t want to,” Princess Luosha said.

Zhang Ruochen noticed that Princess Luosha was acting very abnormally today.

And suddenly, Zhang Ruochen realized that Princess Luosha must’ve known that her identity had been exposed given everything he did.

He stayed on the shore of Pluto Ice Cold Ocean instead of going to the Phoenix Nest because he was trying to check up on her.

He asked Chu Siyuan to stay to guard against her.

Not to mention he used space domain every time he met with someone important.

Although Princess Luosha knew that her identity had been exposed, she didn’t dare leave recklessly because she knew Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t let her go that easily.

It wouldn’t be easy for her to leave as she needed to fight Zhang Ruochen, Chu Siyuan, and Le.

This was her major concern.

As for Zhang Ruochen, he didn’t dare lay his cards down yet because he reckoned Princess Luosha must have some attack valuables like godly spirits weapons given her status. If they really engaged in a fight, it would end tragically for both sides. Zhang Ruochen didn’t want that before Guanghan Field reached first place.

And besides, even if Zhang Ruochen managed to kill Princess Luosha, they would definitely be encircled by the Luosha armies. Spiritual Flame Demonic Concubine hadn’t fully prepared yet, so the Shatuo Seven Fields didn’t have any advantages in a full-blown fight against the Luosha armies.

There was no need to hide anything since both sides had learned each other’s secrets.

Zhang Ruochen thought for a bit and said, “That’s right, I practice time rules and space rules at the same time.”

Princess Luosha’s eyes glinted, and she smiled. “Incredible. You’re the third creature who can control both time and space in history. I need to congratulate you now, as you’ll definitely become the most sought after talent after the Saints Merits Battle, but I also need to warn you that you shouldn’t flaunt your power too much and avoid standing at the point where the going is toughest. The higher you get, the tougher it’ll be if you fall.”

Zhang Ruochen knew that Princess Luosha said it with a reason. “Thanks for the heads-up.”

Princess Luosha said, “Refining Nine True Saint Dew is only an assistive way to improve yourself. Both time way and space way are ancient ways. If you only refine Nine True Saint Dew, you can’t reach the absolute level. You need to comprehend them yourself. The ancient ways are a trial for refiners.”

Zhang Ruochen pondered what Princess Luosha said, then he smiled. “I see. Thanks for teaching me.”

They were enemies, yet they could still talk with each other, which was a rare thing.

Princess Luosha was indeed a charming and intelligent person. No wonder she could lead an army to conquer a large field even though she was so young.

“No need to thank me. If you ask the supreme saints from Guanghan Field, they’ll tell you the same thing.”

Princess Luosha stood up with her hands behind her back. Her perfect body with huge breasts and a thin waist was reflected in the water.

She looked into the distance at the Phoenix Nest and asked, “Are you staying here because you want Guanghan Field to come out on top in the Saints Merits Battle?”

Zhang Ruochen also stood up and said, “That’s right.”

Princess Luosha took out a small and delicate box and gave it to Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen took the box, and he could feel space ripples the second he received it from Princess Luosha.

It was a space treasure.

Whoosh!

A trace of gleaming white light gushed out of the box.

Zhang Ruochen saw lots of bottles filled with Luosha blood and a fragmented soul fly out, and there were at least ten thousand of them.

Many saints were killed by the Luosha race, so those bottles were seized by the Luosha race.

Zhang Ruochen wasn’t surprised that Princess Luosha could have so many bottles.

Princess Luosha said, “I’m sure these are enough to make Guanghan Field reach first place.”

“Why did you give them to me?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

“No reason. I have no use for them anyway,” Princess Luosha said.

Zhang Ruochen thought for a bit. If he could really convert all the Luosha blood and fragmented souls into merits, Guanghan Field could definitely make it to first place.

And then, he could destroy the Merits Records Wall and finish Moon Goddess’s task.

However, Zhang Ruochen felt that something was off.

He and Princess Luosha were clearly enemies, so there was no way Princess Luosha would keep helping him.

It was too erratic.

Han Qiu had been observing Zhang Ruochen and Princess Luosha the whole time. She walked toward them and said, “These are free merits. How can we not take them?”

Han Qiu then used her saint Qi to get all the bottles and walked toward the Merits Record Wall.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t come up with anything. He shook his head and followed her.

Chu Siyuan set up a painting way formation around the Merits Record Wall, and it was a ‘Golden Iron Horse Picture.’ Le and Princess White Li were guarding both sides of Merits Record Wall.

Seeing Han Qiu carrying more than ten thousand bottles, Chu Siyuan, Le, and Princess White Li were all intrigued. There were too much Luosha blood and too many fragmented souls in those bottles, and they were worth at least a hundred million merits.

Chu Siyuan pursed his lips and said, “Zhang Ruochen, Guanghan Field only needs ten million merits to surpass Great Devil Ten Square Field. Can you give some of them to Kunlun’s Field?”

Zhang Ruochen, “Even if I’m giving, I ain’t giving them to you.”

Le, Han Qiu, and Princess White Li had been following Zhang Ruochen the whole time, but they hadn’t received any merits yet.

Zhang Ruochen was prepared to give all the extra merits to them so that they could also enter ‘Saints Merits Rank’ of Heaven World.

If someone could get ten million merits, he or she could make it to the ‘Saints Merits Rank’ of Heaven World.

If someone could enter the ‘Saints Merits Rank’ of Heaven World, they could get lots of benefits that ordinary saints could never have.

Chu Siyuan didn’t care, as he was already a saint king. There was no need for him to make it to the ‘Saints Merits Rank’ of Heaven World.

As long as Le, Han Qiu, and Princess White Li obtained the merits, Kunlun’s Field’s merits would increase.

Chu Siyuan released mind power to count the total number of Luosha blood and fragmented souls. Halfway through the counting, he was dazed and said, “There’s a Huang Python King Rune in one of the bottles.”

Princess Luosha hid it very well, and only those with the same level of mind power could detect it.

Princess Luosha’s eyes glinted wickedly and she said, “Break!”

Boom!

The Huang Python King Rune was activated, and the bottle started to crack before it exploded. A tumbling saint Qi was released, turning into phantoms of tens of thousands of Huang Pythons, dashing toward Zhang Ruochen, Chu Siyuan, Princess White Li, and Le.

Zhang Ruochen was well on his guard the whole time, so he infused his mind power and saint Qi into the ‘Golden Iron Horse Picture’ immediately.

Walaa!

The picture formation was activated, and phantoms of human beings and beasts showed up. They looked like ferocious knights, clashing with all those phantoms of the Huang Pythons.
