God Emperor - Chapter 2040

Chapter 2040: Outside the Sect of the Blood God

The Bloodeye Demon Wolf was extremely fast, and it did not take long for it to arrive on the Sect of the Blood God’s grounds.

Whoosh!

A series of figures appeared from the black palace as they welcomed Mo Sheng’s arrival.

The next moment, Mo Sheng was ushered into the palace as he sat on the seat in the middle while the demon wolf curled up beside him.

“Why weren’t you attacking?” Mo Sheng said lightly.

All the powerhouses of the Black Demon Realm were embarrassed as they looked at each other, yet they did not know how to answer.

After a short silence, Zuo Li bit the bullet and said. “Senior Brother Mo Sheng, we were already ready to attack the sect but Zhang Ruochen’s appearance disrupted our plans. This matter, you can ask Luo Yu to find out.”

“What happened?” Mo Sheng cast his gaze on Luo Yu.

The moment Mo Sheng’s cold eyes landed on her, Luo Yu shuddered involuntarily and responded immediately, “Both I and Teng Gu ran into Zhang Ruochen by chance and planned to take him down together. But we did not expect Zhang Ruochen’s strength to have increased significantly. The both of us were ultimately not his match. Even Teng Gu got suppressed, and I was only lucky enough to escape.”

“For him to defeat both of you, he sure has some skill, but I wonder if he has enough skill to get me to make a move.” Mo Sheng’s expression was still calm, obviously did not take Zhang Ruochen too seriously.

Even if he knew of Zhang Ruochen’s astonishing feat in both Shengming City and the Peacock Manor, Mo Sheng still did not care too much. That level of strength was far from catching his attention.

“Why bother Senior Brother Mo Sheng? Just leave Zhang Ruochen to me.”

At this moment, an arrogant, boastful voice suddenly rang out.

Zuo Li and the others immediately turned their gaze towards the entrance of the palace.

At this moment, a very tall and mighty figure stood outside the palace. Demonic Qi ran rampant across his body as various anomalies appeared. The vast power of heaven and earth revolved violently around the figure.

The person was holding a Purple-Gold Demon Spear in hand. The spear tip was razor-sharp and could seemingly tear through space.

“Senior Brother Zhuo Gu is here.”

Aside from Mo Sheng, all other Black Demon Realm powerhouses went forward to greet him.

Their actions were not a surprise. Who was Zhuo Gu? The number two “Beneath a Supreme Saint” elite in the Black Demon Realm, second only to Mo Sheng.

Zhuo Gu had cultivated the Demonic Tyrant Spear Portrait, and he was a well-known battle maniac. He was extremely powerful and was able to enter the third level of “Beneath a Supreme Saint”, enough to contend with ordinary Neverwither Supreme Saints.

According to rumors, Zhuo Gu had accidentally entered a frigid pool, and although he nearly lost his life, he had reaped huge benefits from it. His flesh was tempered to extreme power, and his physical strength was comparable to those ancient creatures.

Holding the Purple-Gold Demonic Spear in his hand, Zhuo Gu slowly stepped into the palace and sat down in the first seat on the left.

Mo Sheng glanced at Zhuo Gu. “Immediately attack the Sect of the Blood God. I don’t want to see any mistakes again.”

“Yes.”

Everyone, including Zhuo Gu, responded in unison.

There was no doubt that Mo Sheng held very high prestige in the hearts of these Black Demon Realm cultivators, and no one dared to disobey him.

Immediately, the group of powerhouses walked out of the palace and came outside the great protective formation outside the Sect of the Blood God.

“Not too shabby, I wonder how many blows of my spear can it take.”

Zhuo Gu licked his lips and suddenly stabbed his spear forward.

This spear might have looked ordinary, but it carried immense power. It was as if a star had crashed against the great protective formation.

Baaaam!

Struck by the massive impact, the protective formation shuddered and showed faint signs of collapse.

“As expected of Senior Brother Zhuo Gu, even a random strike of his spear could cause the protective formation to tremble.”

“As expected. As far as physical strength is concerned, Senior Brother Zhuo Gu is the number one person of Black Demon Realm. Earlier on in the Western Region Battlefield of Merit, he had smashed an ancient bull’s head with just a single punch.”

“It seems like Senior Brother Zhuo Gu can sweep through the Sect of the Blood God without need for Senior Brother Mo Sheng to get involved.”

…

For a moment, many of the Sect of the Blood God cultivators were agitated as they looked at Zhuo Gu in awe.

Zhuogu’s achievements were something that countless Black Demon Realm cultivators eagerly wanted, too.

“Zhang Ruochen, are you done yet? There’s a bloody powerful one outside. I’m afraid that my formation won’t hold on for too long,” Blackie said anxiously.

The space rippled as Zhang Ruochen’s figure appeared out of thin air and mused. “It’s about time. Let’s go out and meet those Black Demon Realm elites then.”

“Go out?” Blackie revealed a surprised look.

Zhang Ruochen said, “Of course, we have to go out. You want to wait for them to break in? That would be disadvantageous for us.”

“What’s your plan?” Blackie asked immediately.

The corners of Zhang Ruochen’s mouth rose slightly as he said, “You’ll find out soon.”

“You actually want to keep me guessing.” Blackie glared at him, looking rather unhappy.

However, it was obviously not the time to argue with Zhang Ruochen.

With Zhang Ruochen leading the way, all of the Saint King-realm elites of the Sect of the Blood God walked out together.

“Hmm?”

Zhuo Gu was about to unleash the second blow, but he suddenly noticed something and stopped.

Ripples appeared on the great protective formation of the Sect of the Blood God as a series of figures appeared outside the formation.

Zhang Ruochen had unleashed his Spatial Dominion and enveloped everyone on his side. If there was any unforeseen change, he could take everyone back to the sect grounds in time.

“Zhang Ruochen, you actually dare to come out. Brave.” Zhuo Gu said with a glint in his eyes.

In his eyes, Zhang Ruochen was already his prey.

The group of Black Demon Realm elites all moved out as they quickly formed an encirclement.

Zuo Li sneered. “Zhang Ruochen, you’re basically throwing yourself into a trap, let’s see who can save you this time.”

“Du Mosheng, Pei Linhu, you dare to betray the Black Demon Realm. Even ten thousand deaths will not be enough to redeem you lot from your sins.” Xiao Wuchang shouted angrily.

A murderous intent appeared in the eyes of Crone Yinfan, as she hissed. “All of the shame endured by the Black Demon Realm must be washed away with your blood. Don’t worry, I won’t make your death be easy.”

When it comes to torturing someone, there were scant few in Black Demon Realm who can compare to her.

The expressions of the several Black Demon Realm Saint Kings that Zhang Ruochen had subdued changed. They knew very well in their hearts if they were to fall into the hands of these people, their end will not be pretty.

Du Mosheng laughed out loud. “If a person doesn’t live for himself, the heavens will come apart. All of you are disciples of the gods and have had the best of everything from the very beginning. But me? I could only rely on myself, so why should I fight tooth and nail for your gods?”

In the cruel environment of the Black Demon Realm, many people had become selfish as this was the only way for them to survive.

Du Mosheng did not have good fortune like Crone Yinfan for a god to take him as a disciple. For him to cultivate to this level, he had gone through who knew how much hardship, so, he cherished his life even more.

In fact, everyone who had submitted to Zhang Ruochen had no significant background in Black Demon Realm. If there were gods behind them, they would not have dared to even think of treachery.

“Du Mosheng, you insolent cur, you dare to blaspheme the gods. Die!” Crone Yinfan hissed as she conjured a giant hand out of death aura and grabbed at Du Mosheng.

Du Mosheng’s expression changed drastically as he felt a massive threat, and he immediately wanted to fight back.

Before Du Mosheng could even make a move, however, Zhang Ruochen blasted his palm out. An extremely masculine Yang energy ten-thousand times of any ordinary persons emerged.

Baaam!!

The Hand of Death conjured by Crone Yinfan immediately burst into pieces, turning into streams of death.

Seeing this, the eyes of Crone Yinfan turned grim as a large amount of Deathly Demonic Qi was unleashed from her body, and one could vaguely see an ancient tomb emerging behind her as if it was about to bury everything.

Zhang Ruochen was unfazed as a dragon and an elephant appeared on both of his sides, unleashing an extremely terrifying pressure.

“Trying to kill my people from Sect of the Blood God before me, you sure make light of me. Mo Sheng, I know you’re here. Why don’t you show yourself?”

Zhang Ruochen did not pay much attention to Crone Yinfan but instead cast his eyes towards the black demonic palace in the distance.

In an instant, all Black Demon Realm powerhouses could not help but to turn their heads.

“As you wish.”

Mo Sheng’s indifferent voice rang out, as his true form walked out of the palace.

“Awooo!”

The Bloodeye Demon Wolf stared at Zhang Ruochen as it roared in anger.

“Hiss…”

Elder Yuanxing and the others could not help but gasp as they felt a chill all over their body and their saint souls trembled involuntarily, as there were faint signs of their souls leaving their body.

“Hmph.”

Zhang Ruochen let out a heavy, cold snort as an invisible aura surged out.

Suddenly, the weird demonic power that were enveloping Elder Yuanxing and the rest were blasted away, and no longer affected them.

At the same time, the Bloodeye Demon Wolf took a step backwards. Although there was still a menacing glint in its eyes, there was also a faint look of wariness in it.

Mo Sheng held the Blade of the Voracious Wolf in one hand, and another on his back as he looked at Zhang Ruochen without a trace of emotion at all, saying. “Zhang Ruochen, do you want to fight me?”

Zhang Ruochen locked his eyes onto Mo Sheng as he measured the latter in secret.

Speaking of which, this was the first time he had meant with Mo Sheng. He had wanted to meet this pillar of the Black Demon Realm since long ago.

As he took measure of the latter, Zhang Ruochen’s heart trembled. While Mo Sheng had not deliberately revealed his aura, he could still sense how powerful he was.

In that not-too-tall nor buff body, an extremely terrifying power was contained in it, and once unleashed, it could destroy the world.

As a rare wonder of the Black Demon Realm that had cultivated three of the Demonstone Engravings, with the bloodline of a powerful demon god flowing in his body, he had the Supreme Perfect Body that made countless cultivators envious.

It could be said that there were many boons bestowed upon Mo Sheng, a true scion of the heavens.

There were countless of Saint King-relam cultivators across the tens of thousands of realms under the Celestial Court, and even Nine-step Saint Kings were not a rarity, but those could enter the second level beneath a Supreme Saint were extremely rare, and the vast majority of worlds do not have such a wonder.

But for Mo Sheng to be able to enter this level, it was enough to see how extraordinary he was, as he truly stood at the apex among those of the same realm.

Between thoughts, Zhang Ruochen said calmly. “Mo Sheng, slaughter is indeed boring. I know what you want, so how about we do this differently. Perhaps you may even get what you want easily.”

“Oh? What are you proposing?” Mo Sheng showed a trace of interest.

With his strength, there was no fear of Zhang Ruochen pulling any tricks.

Zhang Ruochen said. “After entering Kunlun Realm for so long, I believe that the Black Demon Realm had already gathered parts of the Demonstone Engravings. So how about we use that as a wager, and have a gambit battle?”

“What? Zhang Ruochen, are you insane? You’re actually taking the Demonstone Engravings to wager with the Black Demon Realm? No, I will not agree.” Before Mo Sheng had said anything, Blackie resolutely opposed it.

At this moment, the others too were perplexed, and did not understand why Zhang Ruochen wanted to do so.

Since it was a gambit, then there was a risk of losing. If he were to hand the Demonstone Engravings to the Black Demon Realm because of this, he will undoubtedly become a pariah of Kunlun Realm.

Zhang Ruochen naturally understood what everyone was thinking, and send a secret telepathic message. “The reason I want to use the Demonstone Engravings as wager against the Black Demon Realm is to take the Demonstone Engravings in their hands. The items that belonged to Kunlun Realm cannot fall into the hands of the Black Demon Realm.”

“I know it’s risky, but I have thought about everything, don’t worry, I won’t let a single piece of Demonstone Engravings be handed over to the Black Demon Realm.”

“Are you really confident?” Blackie immediately asked.

Zhang Ruochen send a telepathic message back. “You think I’d take such a thing as a joke?”

“Junior brother, your idea is good but will the Black Demon Realm be willing to bet with you?” Jin Yu’s transmitted his thoughts.

The Black Demon Realm had came in force, and would think that they had occupied an absolute advantage, so they will not accept Zhang Ruochen’s proposal that easily.

Sure enough, the moment Jin Yu asked that question, Mo Sheng said coldly. “Once I kill all of you, the Demonstone Engravings will naturally be in our hands. Why the need for such trouble?”

“Is that so? Mo Sheng, you sure look down on me, Zhang Ruochen. If I want to leave, are you sure you can hold me back? I’m giving you a chance now, you’d do ill to not cherish it.” Zhang Ruochen snorted.

Mo Sheng pondered for a moment as a smile appeared on his face, saying. “So you are gunning for the Demonstone Engravings we have already collected, an ingenious idea indeed.”

“Yes, I do have such an idea, or do you not have faith with your fellow Black Demon Realm folks? I had original wanted to use these people as add-on wager, but if you don’t want to play the game, then there’s no need for them to continue living.”

As he said, Zhang Ruochen took out an Exquisite Dimensional Orb, with all of the hundred odd Black Demon Realm Saint Kings he had previously suppressed inside it.

From the moment he took down Teng Gu and the others, Zhang Ruochen had already thought of how to use them.

With Teng Gu and the other’s cultivation strength, they must have a high position in the Black Demon Realm. If he were to used them as an additional bargaining chip, even Mo Sheng would find it difficult to refuse him.

Sweeping his gaze across the Exquisite Dimensional Orb, a cold glint appeared in the eyes of Mo Sheng. “Are you threatening me? Do you really think I can’t do anything to do you?”

At this moment, all of the Black Demon Realm cultivators unleashed powerful auras. The moment Mo Sheng gave the order, they will strike immediately.

“Want to attack? Sure, you may be able to breach the Sect of the Blood God, but I can assure you that it will be bloody, and at the same time, you can forget about getting a single Demonstone Engraving.” Zhang Ruochen’s expression turn cold immediately as he exchange gaze with Mo Sheng.

The Exquisite Dimensional Orb flashed and immediately, the hundreds of subdued Black Demon Realm Saint Kings all appeared in the outside world.

“Kneel!”

Zhang Ruochen roared.

A terrifying aura erupted and acted upon Teng Gu and the others.

Immediately, many Saint Kings knelt down, unable to withstand the pressure.

“ARRRGGHHHH!!!”

Teng Gu let out a furious roar, as he desperately tried ot resist, but to no avail.

BAAAMMM!!

Teng Gu’s knees knelt heavily on the ground, smashing a piece of bluestone apart.

“Zhang Ruochen.” Teng Gu’s eyes were red as he gritted his teeth with hatred as he had never suffered such great humiliation before.

THWACK!

Zhang Ruochen stepped on Teng Gu’s shoulder with one foot, and completely stomping Teng Gu down, rendering the latter unable to even straighten his waist.

“It’s Mo Sheng who refused you lot the chance to live, you can’t blame me for that.” Zhang Ruochen said coldly.

Hearing that, the several hundred Black Demon Realm Saint Kings could not help but tremble, as the shadow of death cast a pall over their hearts.

They did not want to die, but in this situation, they could not say a single word. They naturally cannot ask Zhang Ruochen for mercy, and could only cast a pleading look at Mo Sheng.
