Chapter 2089: The Golden Sun of Destruction
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The moment his head split, golden light shot out of Sunshine Tianzi’s Sea of Qi at Zhang Ruochen.
That did not come as a surprise to Zhang Ruochen at all. He immediately drew his sword.
Sunshine Tianzi was a Saint King cultivator with a powerful Saint Soul. As powerful as Zhang Ruochen’s attack was, he had not used his Saint Qi or destroyed Sunshine Tianzi’s Saint Soul, just his body.
Considering Sunshine Tianzi’s status, he surely had many treasures in his possession. Some treasures might not be Saint Qi-driven, so no one could easily kill him.
Had Zhang Ruochen not used the Armor of the Fire God, he could not have defeated the divine sigils on Sunshine Tianzi’s body and would have no way to kill him.
“You destroyed my body, then give me yours.”
Sunshine Tianzi’s Saint Soul roared in anger as it drove the Golden Sun into Zhang Ruochen.
The Golden Sun was made from the core of a star. It was extremely heavy with an extremely high temperature, so much so that it was enough to crush immortal Saint bodies and burn them to ashes.
The Golden Sun was just a supreme artifact that had just been recently refined, and its power was far from its peak. Plus, Sunshine Tianzi could not master it fully with his current cultivation base. Despite all that, the elder Tianzu of the Sunshine Civilization had helped him refine a drop of the ancient Golden Crow’s blood. With the combination of the ancient Golden Crow’s Saint Soul, it fit perfectly with the Golden Sun.
Now, the ancient Golden Crow’s Saint Soul and blood were gathered in Sunshine Tianzi’s Saint Soul.
If it were not for that reason, Sunshine Tianzi could not have driven the Golden Sun.
He could not mobilize his Saint Qi on the Celestial Demon Mountain but could only drive the Golden Sun using his Saint Soul with the help of the ancient Golden Crow’s blood. Otherwise, he could have already attacked with the Golden Sun long ago and his body would not have been destroyed by Zhang Ruochen.
Clank!
The Ancient Abyssal Blade had stopped the Golden Sun, but the force of impact still forced Zhang Ruochen to fall back.
Swish!
The Golden Sun soared into the sky, leaping as high as dozens of yards before falling back down.
The Golden Sun’s speed was so fast that Zhang Ruochen did not have time to dodge. Having no choice, he raised his sword and parried with all his strength.
The moment the Golden Sun struck him, his body shook violently, and he was immobilized as if the massive body of an ancient divine mountain had fallen on him.
Taking this opportunity, Sunshine Tianzi separated from the Golden Sun. He faded into a golden light and disappeared into Zhang Ruochen’s forehead.
As soon as he entered Zhang Ruochen’s Divine Light Sea of Qi, four powerful Saint Souls and the gushing Heavenly Stream came into view.
“I can’t believe that you’ve formed four Sainthood sources and turned the Precepts that you’ve refined into a stream. This has more potential than my physical body. Great, Zhang Ruochen. Your body belongs to me now.”
Sunshine Tianzi was delighted, and he immediately started to refine Zhang Ruochen’s Saint Soul.
A talisman that flew out of his Saint Soul released a strong spiritual power to attack Zhang Ruochen’s spirit and mind.
He could only seize the body without resistance by breaking down Zhang Ruochen’s spirit and mind, causing him to lose consciousness.
This talisman had been refined by a spiritual-power Supreme Saint. It could crush Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual and mind by releasing a powerful spiritual attack even if it was suppressed by the Seal Rune.
“Letting your Saint Soul enter my body is the stupidest thing you’ve ever done, Sunshine Tianzi.” Zhang Ruochen’s bitter voice echoed.
The next moment, a super-massive macroworld appeared above Sunshine Tianzi out of nowhere.
Yueshen had been banning Zhang Ruochen from using the power of the Qiankun Realm. But since the Qiankun Realm was in the Sea of Qi, he could still mobilize it at will.
There was a look of horror in the eyes of Sunshine Tianzi’s Saint Soul. His voice trembled as he spoke. “I can’t believe that there is a macroworld in your body. How-How is this possible?”
“You didn’t even have a clear grasp of my basic information before seizing my body. Suppress him!”
Zhang Ruochen bellowed, ordering the Qiankun Realm to subdue Sunshine Tianzi.
The force released by the Qiankun Realm was exceedingly powerful, so much so that it could subdue and completely immobilize Sunshine Tianzi’s Saint Soul.
No matter how many tricks he had up his sleeve, they were all rendered useless in front of a macroworld.
That spiritual talisman dimmed in an instant, and could no longer unleash any spiritual attacks.
Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power had reached the peak of the 59-order, infinitely close to the 60-order, and his spirit and mind were indestructible. So he had suffered no harm.
“No, please let me go, Zhang Ruochen! I will give you anything!” Sunshine Tianzi’s Saint Soul let out a horrified cry.
“I have no grudges against you, but you are deliberately trying to kill me. How can I spare your life?” Zhang Ruochen said indifferently.
The expression of Sunshine Tianzi’s Saint Soul turned hideous upon hearing that. “Zhang Ruochen, I am the future heir of the Sunshine Civilization’s Tianzhu. If you kill me, you will make the Sunshine Civilization your enemy and die a terrible death.”
It was not worth his time talking to Sunshine Tianzi. Zhang Ruochen summoned the Qiankun Realm and mercilessly crushed him.
This was the second time that Zhang Ruochen had experienced a body seizure. The last time it was Qing Jin, who once ranked first on the Saint King Merit List. The difference this time around was that he was much stronger than before.
As strong as Sunshine Tianzi was, he was still nowhere near Qing Jin.
Back then, he could already suppress Qing Jin with the Qiankun Realm. It was even easier this time around when he suppressed Sunshine Tianzi.
“I am the Tianzi of the Sunshine Civilization. How could I die like this? I can’t accept this!” Sunshine Tianzi let out a scream of sorrow and despair.
His Saint Soul broke up at once as it could not withstand the Qiankun Realm’s crushing force.
Treasures appeared below the Qiankun Realm. The most special one was the three-legged Golden Crow that gave out a golden glow and extremely oppressive energy.
Zhang Ruochen obtained some valuable information from Sunshine Tianzi’s broken Saint Soul. “I didn’t know that Sunshine Tianzi was using a drop of the ancient Golden Crow’s blood and Saint Soul to control the Golden Sun of Destruction.”
The ancient Golden Crow’s Saint Soul had been injected into Sunshine Tianzi’s Saint Soul, but the two had not completely infused together. So after the Sunshine Tianzi’s Saint Soul was shattered, the Golden Crow’s Saint Soul separated from it.
That drop of ancient Golden Crow blood was now in the ancient Golden Crow’s Saint Soul. It had not been annihilated.
The ancient Golden Crow’s Saint Soul was nasty. Had its will not been wiped out, no one—including ordinary Supreme Saints—could withstand the aggressive energy that it unleashed.
Zhang Ruochen immediately refined the ancient Golden Crow’s Saint Soul and blood. Otherwise, the Golden Sun of Destruction on his head would become a grave threat.
With the suppression of the Qiankun Realm in place, it should be fairly easy to refine the ancient Golden Crow’s Saint Soul and blood.
From Tianzi’s Saint Soul entering Zhang Ruochen’s Sea of Qi to it being crushed by the Qiankun Realm, it all just happened in a split second.
Swish!
Blackie moved in a flash and returned beside Zhang Ruochen, worries filling its eyes.
“Hang on there, Zhang Ruochen. I will get you out of this.”
Just as Blackie was about to release a Saint Soul into Zhang Ruochen’s body, golden light burst out of Zhang Ruochen’s eyes as he opened his eyes.
“Has your body been seized?”
Blackie’s expression changed, and it was prepared to strike.
Zhang Ruochen shot a glance at Blackie. “Do you think my body can be seized so easily? Come here and hold them back, Jinyang Twin Kings.”
Blackie glanced at Zhang Ruochen with suspicion. “Are you really Zhang Ruochen? Your body hasn’t been seized?”
“Get the hell out of here.”
Zhang Ruochen shot another glare at Blackie and kicked with his leg.
Blackie was no slouch. It dodged in an instant and tittered. “I am just worried about you. Don’t you worry; I will make sure they can’t come up here.”
Blackie moved down the mountain in a flash.
The Jinyang Twin Kings had gone up the Celestial Demon Mountain, and they were closing in on Zhang Ruochen’s position.
However, Zhang Ruochen was being suppressed by the Golden Sun of Destruction, and his movements were restricted. So he needed to refine the ancient Golden Crow’s Saint Soul and blood before he could get it under control.
The Jinyang Twin Kings were enraged because Zhang Ruochen had destroyed Sunshine Tianzi’s body. They just did not know the current condition of Sunshine Tianzi’s Saint Soul since it had entered Zhang Ruochen’s body.
They needed to apprehend Zhang Ruochen and help Sunshine Tianzi seize Zhang Ruochen’s body.
Blackie swooped down. Its wings spread open with blazing red fire as it struck at the Jinyang Twin Kings.
“Get the hell out of here!”
“A godd*mn wild owl!”
The Jinyang Twin Kings shouted. As golden Blood Qi formed on their fists, they unleashed their punches on Blackie at once.
Pow!
As two clouds of fire rose from Blackie’s wings, Blackie slapped the Jinyang Twin Kings out and away with tens of thousands of pounds of force.
“How dare you call a phoenix an owl! Who are you to yell in front of me? Mind your language!”
Blackie steadied its posture and looked at the two with a sneer as if it was educating them.
In a time when the use of Saint Qi was impossible, possessing the body of the Supreme Saint undoubtedly gave Blackie an immense advantage. This Celestial Demon Mountain was essentially a battlefield tailored-made for Blackie.
After the Jinyang Twin Kings stabilized their postures, the arrogance of this owl enraged them. They had been in battles and almost undefeated. This was the first time that someone scorned them like that.
They exchanged looks with each other and summoned their powerful Blood Qi to cover their bodies.
Bang!
A shiny golden light soared into the sky as if it was going to pierce through every obstacle.
“Since you two are so stubborn, I will let you see who is the boss here!”
A deadly light flashed in Blackie’s eyes, and a wing rapidly expanded. The wing flapped and attacked at once, like a cloud hanging down from the sky.
Pow!
Unable to withstand this unimaginably powerful strike, the Jinyang Twin Kings were sent flying out backward and crashing down the mountain.
Blood oozed out from the corners of the Jinyang Twin Kings’ mouths as their bodies were injured.
Blackie looked down at the Jinyang Twin Kings with scornful eyes. “You two are injured? I haven’t used my actual strength yet. Come up again if you dare and try me if I would kill you two.”
That was strange. How could that owl become so powerful?
The Jinyang Twin Kings had cultivated their physical bodies to become sub-Supreme Saint. Together, the two of them could rival some Neverwilt-Realm Supreme Saints.
So how could Blackie defeat them so easily?
What they did not know was that Blackie’s cultivation base was right below the level of immortals. It was just that it had not recovered yet. Recently, after practicing in the sundial, Blackie had partially recovered, and its strength had skyrocketed.
Besides, with Blackie’s incredibly strong physical body, crushing the Jinyang Twin Kings was a matter of course.
Just as the Jinyang Twin Kings were about to continue their attacks, they saw Zhang Ruochen stretching out a hand to hold the Golden Sun of Destruction with ease.
The Golden Sun of Destruction shook as the implement spirit fought back. But it was suppressed by Zhang Ruochen.
The Golden Sun of Destruction was made from a piece of the core of a star. Under normal circumstances, it was heavier than a planet and could crush all the beings in a sacred realm in an instant. If the wielder’s cultivation base was solid enough and could bring out the full potential of this Supreme Artifact, the heat that erupted could instantly turn a planet into a fireball and then melt it in no time.
Of course, no matter how strong a Saint King cultivator was, it was impossible to bring out even a tenth of the power of a Supreme Artifact.
Apparently, Zhang Ruochen had refined the ancient Golden Crow’s blood and Saint Soul, so he could control the Golden Sun of Destruction that was as heavy as a star.
“What have you done to the Tianzi, Zhang Ruochen?” the Jinyang Twin Kings asked in a deep voice.
Zhang Ruochen looked down at the foot of the mountain. “He tried to seize my body, and now I am still safe. What do you think his fate is?”
The hearts of the Jinyang Twin Kings skipped a beat, their eyes reddening as they scrambled up the Celestial Demon Mountain without a second thought.
They had no way to shirk the blame for Sunshine Tianzi’s death. The only way to answer to the elder Tianzhu of the Sunshine Civilization was to kill Zhang Ruochen.
“How dare you two come up again! Get the hell out of here!” Blackie shouted.
Before the Jinyang Twin Kings could climb halfway up the mountain, Blackie had swooped down from the top.
Blackie showed its might once again by blasting the Jinyang Twin Kings down the Celestial Demon Mountain.
“You collect the Demonstone Engraving while I hold down the fort here. I will slap whoever coming up the mountain down the hill.”
Zhang Ruochen knew Blackie very well and did not have to worry about it. He spun around and quickly returned to the stone steps.
At the foot of the Celestial Demon Mountain, the Jinyang Twin Kings exchanged a look with each other. There was fear in their eyes. After three consecutive clashes, they could feel how robust Blackie’s physical strength was. No way they could get any advantage, even if they joined hands.
They would be digging their own graves if they climbed the mountain again.
They calmed down and did not act recklessly again.
Zhang Ruochen and Blackie would have to leave the Celestial Demon Mountain, eventually. They could wait until then before they would do anything.
Without the Seal Rune’s suppression, they were confident of subduing Zhang Ruochen and Blackie.
“Zhang Ruochen killed the Tianzi of an ancient civilization. He is really gutsy and lives to the hype of being reckless.” A reverend of the Bone Clan grinned.
“The harder they fight, the better for us, the Infernal Court.” The Eight-Armed Reverend snorted.
“Then what should we do next?” another Bone Clan reverend asked.
“Let’s wait and see. Kill Zhang Ruochen and all cultivators of the Sunshine Civilization, if possible,” the Eight-Armed Reverend said softly.
The other six reverends nodded quietly, as they all had the same thinking.
Whether it was killing Zhang Ruochen or the Jinyang Twin Kings, it was considered an outstanding achievement.
On the Celestial Demon Mountain, Zhang Ruochen’s pace was steady. He took one step at a time, and no matter how hard the Demonic Qi hit him, he remained planted on the ground.
At last, after setting foot on the hundredth stone steps, Zhang Ruochen came in front of the Demonstone Engraving.
This Demonstone Engraving was over ten yards tall. It gave out a powerful demonic aura with a rolling demonic cloud above, as if it had connected to the world of the celestial demons.
He looked down at the base of the Demonstone Engraving, and his expression changed. “This is…”
The base was written with tiny text and a series of strange patterns, full of a demonic vibe that could captivate one’s eyes.
The Regal-class Demonic Sutra of Incarceration can be cultivated to the realm of a demigod.
Incarceration of Divine Demon is divided into seven levels. The first level is lower-level Saint techniques. The second level is intermediate-level Saint techniques, and the third level is higher-level Neverwilt Saint techniques. Upon attaining the seventh level, it will transform into an ultimate-level Saint technique. Once the seven levels are perfectly integrated, one will have access to higher knowledge.
Zhang Ruochen’s heart skipped a beat after studying the text and patterns on the base.
He could not believe that there were such incomparable Regal-class Saint techniques on the top of the mountain.
He could see that both Demonic Sutra of Incarceration and Incarceration of Divine Demon were products of the comprehension of the Demonic Incarceration Portrait.
Only those extremely powerful immortals could create such profound demonic and Saint techniques.
“I wonder which elder of the Divine Dragon race could comprehend the Demonstone Engraving to such a level. There should be few demonic techniques in the Kunlun Realm that can match Demonic Sutra of Incarceration.”
Zhang Ruochen could not hold back his excitement.
This Celestial Demon Mountain was undoubtedly a great treasure of inestimable value for the demonic cultivators.
