God Emperor - Chapter 1832
Chapter 1832: The Demonic Blood Ax Engraving
Zhang Ruochen knew that the person Fairy Tianchu referred to was Ji Fanxin.
Unfortunately, in seeking a breakthrough, Ji Fanxin had entered Luoshui alone and was not in the Holy City.
Luoshui was mysterious and shrouded in a bizarre power. Even if Zhang Ruochen was to send a message to Ji Fanxin, she would probably not be able to receive it. A distant well cannot put out a nearby fire.
Zhang Ruochen touched his chin lightly with his fingers. “Seems like we can only pin our hopes on the Eastern Region Saint King Manor.”
The Eastern Region Saint King Manor had been in operation for so many years in the Holy City, and had a very profound background, with advantages in location and manpower, trying to take it down was not an easy thing to do.
It was like an old tortoise lying on the ground, while its offensive power may be far less than an alpha lion, but it was still difficult for that alpha lion to break its shell and eat it.
Fairy Tianchu took out the box containing the tortoiseshell fragment and held it out on her fair palm as she handed it to Zhang Ruochen, saying, “I know that this is of great value to you. Even though it is nowhere as good as a hundred thousand drops of Divine Spring, you… shouldn’t refuse my kindness.”
“Sure enough, she has already guessed that I’m Lin Yue. She’s just that intelligent.”
Zhang Ruochen smiled awkwardly as he took the box and weighed it twice in his hand before he put it into the Dimensional Ring and said, “Please leave the Eastern Region Holy City. This has nothing to do with you. You are the Celestial Maiden of the Tianchu Civilization, so they will not dare to fight you openly.”
“Since you know what I’m the Celestian Maiden of the Tianchu Civilization, you should understand that provoking a Celestial Maiden only leads to bad things. If I want to leave, even an Array Master cannot stop me. Anyone that dares to attack me will pay a very heavy price.”
Fairy Tianchu leaned forward and stood under the candle. The candlelight shining on her face made it look like a layer of white fluorescence was on her skin, as if it was flesh made out of ice and bones out of jade, extremely alluring.
She might have looked elegant and meek, but whenever she got tough, no one could change her mind.
As the heir to an ancient civilization, be it her state of mind, or the cards at her disposal, she would definitely far exceed cultivators of the same rank.
Zhang Ruochen did not attempt to persuade Fairy Tianchu any more, as he walked out of the private room, and returned back to the room on the fifth floor of Tianjue Pavilion.
“Big Brother, you’ve gotten the tortoiseshell fragment?” Xiang Chunan asked with concern.
“Yeah.”
Zhang Ruochen did not hide anything and nodded softly.
Xiang Chunan laughed out loud. “I just know that if Big Brother shows up, he will get the job done.”
Luo Yi was quite surprised, and he asked, “You were able to guess that?”
Xiang Chunan patted his chest as if he had seen through everything, and he said, “My big brother’s looks are top notch, like a literal tree of jade in the wind, and that whatever Fairy Tianchu, is as ugly as a sow. As long as my brother uses his Pretty Boy scheme, she won’t fall head over heels for him? My big brother’s charm, is nothing ordinary, no?”
“Pretty Boy scheme? I did not expect Brother Ruochen to have such a technique at play.” Luo Yi laughed.
Zhang Ruochen felt his head ached. Xiang Chunan, this damned fool, forget his distorted sense of aesthetics, he actually looked at his big brother with such distorted lenses.
He, Zhang Ruochen had always depended on his strength to take on the world, since when did he relied on his face?
Plus, wanting to conquer a woman like Fairy Tianchu, how can he succeed with just a mere Pretty Boy scheme?
With Fairy Tianchu’s state of mind, their meeting by chance on the Altar of Divinity Bestowment probably held an even lesser position in her heart than the favor of Zhang Ruochen gifting her a hundred thousand drops of Divine Spring.
Those hundred thousand drops of Divine Spring was “Lin Yue” who had fought desperately for it.
Plus, ‘Lin Yue’ kept his promise and personally handed the one hundred thousand drops of Divine Spring to her hands, before leaving just like that and disappeared into the world.
Forget Fairy Tianchu, any woman who had experienced that would find it hard to forget.
Luo Yi’s expression became serious as he said, “Since we have the tortoiseshell fragment in our hands, should we activate the teleportation array and leave now?”
“No, unless as a last resort, we cannot activate the teleportation array.”
Zhang Ruochen explained the identity of Mister Godcliff.
After hearing that, the hearts of everyone sank to the bottom.
“What do we do now? Are we going to sit here and wait for our deaths?” Luo Yi said.
Zhang Ruochen took a deep look at Luo Yi and said, “Brother Luo, you are a disciple of the Shangyuan Sect, and your status is distinguished, as long as you don’t get too close to us, they won’t dare to lay a hand on you. How about you leave first, Brother Luo?”
Luo Yi’s eyelids twitched as he slammed the table a little angrily. “Brother Ruochen? Do you take Luo Yi as a person who is afraid of trouble? Since Chunan regards me as a brother, we will go through it together, for better or worse.”
“Good man. My judgement of you isn’t wrong,” Xiang Chunan said.
“Brother Luo, please don’t be angry. I did not mean anything else, but now the situation in Tianjue Pavilion is just too delicate, and no one knows what will happen. I only said that because I don’t want to drag you down with me.”
As he said that, Zhang Ruochen closed his as he thought about how to break out of this situation.
The auction outside was coming to an end.
Four cultivators with buff bodies carried the last auction item onto the suspended sacred jade platform. As it was too heavy, the platform sank by three feet.
The item on auction was several feet high, and was covered by a black cloth that could block any spiritual power surveying, and gave out a sense of mystery.
“They have sold many rare treasures earlier, and this final auction item is definitely not a simple thing.”
“Say, could it be a complete piece of Supreme Sacred Artifact?”
“Definitely not. Even a god wouldn’t auction a Supreme Sacred Artifact. However, peerless materials for refining a Supreme Sacred Artifact is possible.”
…
As the auction item was moved up, Zi Lan’s emotions became a little uncontrollable as her voice trembled. “The last item for auction is the legendary… Demonstone Engraving.”
Whoosh!!
The black cloth was pulled down, revealing a black stone tablet several feet tall.
The stone tablet exuded a shocking demonic aura, as the powerful aura permeated across the heavens and earth, causing demonic Qi to gather in the skies above Tianjue Island, forming demonic clouds and covered the stars and moon.
At this moment, the cultivators on Tianjue Island, and even a good part of the Golden Rainbow Continent were all shocked.
The aura of an unsealed Demonstone Engraving was just too powerful. It was not only a stone tablet, a training engraving, but also a powerful weapon in itself.
It was like an explosion had ripped across Tianjue Pavilion as all of the cultivators went crazy about it, unable to suppress the excited emotions in their hearts.
In a flash, over a dozen cultivators could no longer suppress the greed in their hearts, and they flew toward the Demonstone Engraving, wanting to snatch it away.
One of them was an elder of the Saint King rank.
“Mine! That Demonstone Engraving is mine!”
That elder exuded a powerful Saint Aura and tore off all of the window paper with its force.
The pavilion master of Tianjue Pavilion, Jiang Yunchong walked out as he stretched a palm out, and clutched it.
Bam! Bam!!
The dozen or so cultivators in the air all burst into pieces, turning into clouds of blood mist.
Such a bloody scene shocked the cultivators below back to their senses, as all of them trembled and slowly stepped backwards.
Jiang Yunchong’s figure blurred, and the next moment, he reappeared on the suspended sacred jade platform.
He had his hands behind him as if he was standing at the center of the universe and scanning the cultivators below. “If you are in the Tianjue Pavilion, you must abide by the rules here. Anyone who dares to break the rules here is an enemy of mine.”
In the private room on the fifth floor, Mister Godcliff gasped in amazement. “I’ve heard that Tianjue Pavilion’s master is very powerful, and indeed, seeing is believing.”
“That move was not so straightforward. Everyone thought that he launched a palm strike, but in fact, he merely raised his hand gently,” Xie Canghai said solemnly.
In the private room, a cultivator of the Six-step Saint King rank was quite puzzled. “He just killed over a dozen incompetent cultivators. What’s so mysterious about it? If I give it my all, I can turn all of them into blood mist with a palm strike across the distance.”
Jueyan Hu laughed. “Jiang Yunchong did not launch any palm strikes. The moment he lifted his hands, the precepts of heaven and earth changed. So, it was not the palm strike that killed those dozen of cultivators, it was the precepts of heaven and earth that killed them.”
The Six-step Saint King was taken aback and said, “How is that possible? It is said only a Supreme Saint can mobilize the precepts of heaven and earth to perform mystical techniques beyond the imagination of a Saint King. Is Jiang Yunchong a Supreme Saint?”
Jueyan Hu snorted. “Who says that one needs to reach Supreme Sainthood to be able to mobilize the precepts of heaven and earth? Actually, once someone reaches the realm of Precept Domain, that person can do a preliminary power mobilization of heavenly and earthly precepts. But of course, within the realms of a Precept Domain. ”
Mister Godcliff looked at Xie Canghai and asked, “Brother Xie, you have also cultivated up to the Precept Domain. Compared with Jiang Yunchong, who’s stronger and who’s weaker?”
“I’m not as strong as him,” Xie Canghai said.
Jiang Yunchong stood at the center of the sacred jade platform calmly yet all of the cultivators in Tianjue Pavilion had been restrained, as if a god had descended upon the mortal realms, making people fearful and wary.
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze was staring dead at the Demonstone Engraving.
Engraved on the stone tablet was a demon king with disheveled hair. He was holding a blood ax and splitting a galaxy apart. The stars in the galaxy were like shining gemstones before him.
The engraving was extremely powerful and shocking. It caused people to suspect if someone actually had such destructive powers; that was the image the Demonstone Engraving reflected.
Splitting a galaxy with an ax, destroying all life, and becoming a supreme demon…
“How did the Demonic Blood Ax Engraving Print fall into the hands of Tianjue Pavilion? This is bad. An unparalleled inheritance of the Kunlun Realm will probably be bought by cultivators of another realm. “Murong Yue squeezed her fingers tightly in anger.
One needed to know that the Demonstone Engraving was not only a mystical tome on the Taiyi Divine Techniques Rank but also one of the six mythical tomes of the Kunlun Realm. It represented the knowledge of Kunlun’s ancestors and the hope for the rise of the Kunlun Realm.
To become an unparalleled elite, it was essential to cultivate a powerful technique.
Just like Zhang Ruochen, who cultivated the The Empyrean Emperor Ming’s Scripture, and with every increase in level, the grade of his Saint Qi would increase by leaps and bounds, far surpassing the cultivators of the same realm. It was because of this he was able to kill foes beyond realms and was not afraid when encountering a Nine-step Saint King.
If Zhang Ruochen had been cultivating an ordinary technique, it was impossible to cultivate an ultimate perfect physique, and it was even more impossible for him to fight beyond realms.
Each technique and Saint Art was the culmination of the wisdom of countless ancestors before him and a precious wealth left behind for future generations.
If they could not hold on to this wealth, the realm would only continue to decline.
If the various mystical tomes of the Kunlun Realm were taken away by the other macroworlds, their legacy would end like a broken lineage, and the chances of regaining their glorious days would become extremely remote.
