God Emperor - Chapter 2147

Chapter 2147: Destiny Pool

Outside the palace, there was an open square paved with taupe slabs of stone, and each slab of stone was covered with mottled patterns. They seemed to be natural yet man-made, exuding a mysterious aura.

Zhang Ruochen and Blackie landed on the square one after another. However, they were blocked by an invisible force when they tried to enter the palace again.

“Empress, I am Tu Tian. Please allow me to follow you wherever you go,” Blackie shouted loudly.

It was sure that the mysterious powerhouse who just appeared was the Empress of Thousand Bones who had been missing for 100,000 years. It wanted to enter the palace desperately.

“Calm down. If that person is really the Empress of Thousand Bones, you will definitely meet her in the future even if you can’t meet her now. You have waited for 100,000 years, so there’s no need to rush,” Zhang Ruochen comforted Blackie.

But at this moment, Blackie couldn’t take in anything. It pounced towards the palace, again and again, howling like a maniac.

Seeing this, Zhang Ruochen couldn’t help but shake his head. Usually, Blackie was always carefree, acting like it had its nose in the air. But when it came to the Empress of Thousand Bones, its emotions would go out of control. It couldn’t control at all.

At this time, no matter how much he said, it was useless. He could only wait for Blackie to calm down.

While looking around, Zhang Ruochen suddenly spotted a pool at the left corner of the square. It was oval and only 10 square feet, making it inconspicuous.

Having such a small pool in an empty wide square, no one would believe that there was nothing special about it.

Zhang Ruochen took a step forward and appeared by the pool that was over a hundred miles away.

The pool water was very clear. It was still and did not move at all. It looked like a mirror.

Zhang Ruochen stood by the pool and looked into it. He could not help but look surprised because the pool water did not reflect his figure.

But when he stared at the pool water, he actually felt that the Saint Soul was about to leave his body. There was a mysterious power that enveloped him.

For a moment, the pool seemed to turn into a terrifying black hole that wanted to swallow his mind and soul.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Zhang Ruochen quickly took a few steps back, a look of fear in his eyes.

It was just a pool and yet it was so terrifying. Even with his powerful state of mind, he almost lost his defense.

Thinking about it, it seemed that the situation would not be good for an ordinary Supreme Saint powerhouse.

‘What is the origin of this pool?’ Zhang Ruochen was very curious.

At this moment, the voice of the mysterious hermit suddenly sounded. “This is the Destiny Pool. It can reflect the ultimate fate of the person you care about the most. Since you are here, I will give you a chance to see it.”

Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen was moved and appeared to be astonished. He thought he had heard wrongly.

He was considered to be experienced and knowledgeable, but he had never heard of the Destiny Pool. It was too incredible to mirror fates. Even the Fane of Destiny might not have such an ability.

However, this mysterious hermit would not have any reason to make up such a lie and deceive him.

“Who do I care about the most?” Zhang Ruochen asked himself in a low voice.

There were many people that Zhang Ruochen cared about, such as Emperor Ming, Concubine Lin, Mu Lingxi, Kong Lanyou, and so on. They were all very precious to him, but who was the one he cared about the most?

He couldn’t even tell himself.

Phew.

Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath and walked forward.

Finally, Zhang Ruochen stood by the pool again and looked into it.

This time, he did not resist the power of the pool anymore. He let the strange power penetrate his mind and spirit.

For a moment, Zhang Ruochen felt like the world was spinning. Time and Space seemed to be mixed up. All his senses became blurry.

All of a sudden, the calm pool slightly rippled. Mysterious marks containing the principles of Heaven and Earth emerged clearly. They intertwined and released a soft Divine Light. Then, they formed a light shield enveloping Zhang Ruochen.

Rumble.

The void exploded. A black lightning shot towards Zhang Ruochen.

It was taboo to pry into the fate of others. The Precepts of Heaven and Earth did not allow it.

The black lightning was so powerful that it seemed to be able to destroy everything. Even a top-tier Supreme-Saint might not be able to withstand it.

If it wasn’t for the light shield’s protection, Zhang Ruochen’s body and soul would have been completely destroyed by the black lightning.

Hundreds of cracks appeared one after another in the void. Countless Precepts of Heaven and Earth appeared. They materialized and poured down crazily.

Zhang Ruochen had entered a mystical state. No matter how loud the outside world was, it could not affect him at all.

After a period of time, some images were reflected on the pool. They were clearly reflected in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes and especially in his mind.

The moment he saw it, Zhang Ruochen’s pupils constricted. It was as if he had seen something terrible. He could not help but stepped back.

It was obvious that Zhang Ruochen was trembling slightly. It was not because of fear, but because he could not control his emotions.

“How could… No, this is impossible!” Zhang Ruochen shouted uncontrollably.

With Zhang Ruochen’s current state of calm, such an intense emotion was surprising. It was hard to imagine what he had seen.

“Everything you have seen will happen in the future. No one can change it.” The mysterious hermit sounded.

Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen kept shaking his head. No matter what, he was reluctant to believe that she was destined to be like that. It couldn’t be like that.

‘Why?’

‘Why Her?

‘Why would it end like this?’

Zhang Ruochen kept questioning himself. Veins bulged on his face, his hair flying in the air, it was as if he had been possessed.

At this moment, the Destiny Pool had returned to its original state. The outside world had also returned to a peaceful state. It was as if nothing had happened before.

“Many years ago, the woman you were looking for came here and saw the image in the Destiny Pool. She had reacted just like how you did. After that, she entered Death’s Door without hesitation,” said the mysterious hermit.

Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen was shocked. ‘Did Huang Yanchen see the fate of the person she cared about the most? Who was that person? Could it be him?’

‘Could it be that Huang Yanchen entered the Infernal Court because she saw the fate of the person she cared about the most? But why did she make such a choice? What would be the reason and secret behind her decision?’

The mysterious hermit asked again, “Young man, are you going to pass through Death’s Door?”

Zhang Ruochen could not take in anything else at the moment. He kept thinking about what he had just seen and Huang Yanchen’s matter.

“If you don’t want to enter, then leave.”

As the voice of the mysterious hermit sounded, a hundreds-miles-long hand reached out from the palace.

BANG!

Before Zhang Ruochen and Blackie could react, they were hit by the huge hand. They could only feel their vision went black, then fell into a state of dizziness.

“F*ck… I haven’t seen it yet…” Blackie cried out.

The next moment, the two of them appeared 3,000 meters above the Ever-white Planet out of thin air. Their bodies fell rapidly, completely out of their control.

BOOM! BOOM!

With two loud bangs, Zhang Ruochen and Blackie both fell to the ground, creating two big pits.

With the strength of Zhang Ruochen and Blackie’s bodies, this little bit of impact wouldn’t cause them any harm.

After a big hit from the fall, Zhang Ruochen came back to his senses. He raised his head and looked at the magnificent Death’s Door.

“I don’t believe in the existence of fate in this world. If everything is predestined, what’s the point of cultivators training long and hard? Even if it really exists, I will break it.” Zhang Ruochen’s eyes became firm again.

“Who did you see? What did you see? Why did you go crazy just now?” Blackie asked.

Zhang Ruochen clenched his fingers and didn’t say a word.

After what had happened just now, he had lost interest in breaking through Death’s Door.

Especially when he thought of Huang Yanchen’s changes, Zhang Ruochen had an inexplicable rejection towards Death’s Door.

Moreover, Death’s Door was created by a supreme God. With his current cultivation and strength, it was far from enough to solve all the secrets.

Moreover, he still had a lot of things to do in the Kunlun Realm. He could not stay here for too long.

In any case, this trip had finally solved many mysteries. It was not a wasted trip.

“Blackie, let’s go,” said Zhang Ruochen.

Blackie shook his head repeatedly and said, “I’m not leaving. I want to stay here. I want to wait until the Empress comes out to meet me. She will never forget me.”

Seeing Blackie’s insistence, Zhang Ruochen did not say anything more. It is just that, could that person really be the Empress of Thousand Bones?

Back then, the Empress of Thousand Bones could kill gods with a sword even when she had not transformed into a god.

Now, 100,000 years had passed. If the Empress of Thousand Bones returned, how powerful would she be?

Leaving Blackie alone in Ever-White Planet, Zhang Ruochen reversed the array and set off on his departure. After several teleportations, Zhang Ruochen returned to the hidden valley in the Royal Mountain.

“It’s time to go to the Endless Abyss,” said Zhang Ruochen with narrowed eyes.

Although there were people that he did not want to see in the Endless Abyss, but this time, he must go.

With the dimensional teleportation array left behind by Saint Monk Xumi, it was easy to get to the Endless Abyss.

Back when he was in the Divine Dragon Halfling clan, Zhang Ruochen had used this dimensional teleportation array to teleport directly to the Northern Region.

With Zhang Ruochen’s current attainments in the Path of Dimension, although it is non-fixed-point teleportation, the deviation shouldn’t be too big.

Not long after, Zhang Ruochen finished setting the dimensional coordinates. Without any delay, he teleported immediately.

A thousand miles away from the Sect of the Blood God, the space rippled violently. Zhang Ruochen appeared out of thin air.

The area around the Sect of the Blood God had turned into a giant pit because of the battle.

But now, the giant pit had disappeared and turned into a vast plain.

Unsurprisingly, all of this should have been done by the Sect of the Blood God’s cultivators.

After all, the fact that the sect’s door was standing in a huge pit, this really damaged the Sect of the Blood God’s prestige as one of the seven ancient religions.

After that battle, especially the attack of Xue Lingxian, everyone knew that there was something strange about the Sect of the Blood God. Therefore, no one dared to have any ideas about the Sect of the Blood God.

However, there were still many cultivators spying around the Sect of the Blood God, but they were all very low-key. No one dared to be over ostentatious.

Naturally, Zhang Ruochen had noticed, but he didn’t care about it. The Sect of the Blood God was protected by the Ancient Divine Mark. It was impregnable.

“Why did Zhang Ruochen come to the Central Region all of a sudden? Is he making a big move again?”

Seeing Zhang Ruochen, the cultivators around the Sect of the Blood God were all shocked.

There was nothing they could do. According to the usual patterns, wherever Zhang Ruochen appeared, something big would happen. Blood would flow like a river. Some powerhouses might even die.

Many people avoided him, especially now that he was invincible under the Supreme Saint.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t return to the Sect of the Blood God. Instead, he headed straight for the Endless Abyss. He had to figure out some things as soon as possible.

The Endless Abyss was as peaceful as ever. Perhaps it was restricted by the Blood Empress, now there were no more Bloodbeasts coming out.

Zhang Ruochen was familiar with the way. He descended to the first level of the Endless Abyss.

Just as he was about to head to the entrance of the second level, two behemoths suddenly appeared. They were two Bloodbeast Kings who had Ninth-step Saint King level’s ability.

A graceful figure stood on the head of one of the Bloodbeast Kings. Zhang Ruochen was very familiar with it. It was the Beguiler Demon, Qiu Yichi.

Qiu Yichi bowed to Zhang Ruochen and said with a smile, “The master knows that Your Highness has come, and specially ordered me to welcome you. Your Highness, please.”

Zhang Ruochen did not say a word. He moved and appeared on the head of the other Bloodbeast King.

Because she practiced the Path of the Mind, Qiu Yichi could clearly sense that Zhang Ruochen’s mood was a little unstable. Therefore, she did not dare to be careless.

The two Bloodbeasts flapped their huge wings and flew into the passage leading to the second level.

Zhang Ruochen could sense that the number of Bloodbeasts living in the second level didn’t increase much, but their quality had greatly increased. There were more Saint-King-level Bloodbeasts.

Soon, the two Bloodbeasts landed on the top of the mountain that was soaked in Divine Blood.

Just as he jumped off the head of the Bloodbeasts, a beautiful woman in a dark green palace dress came up to him with a gentle smile. If it wasn’t the Blood Empress, who else could it be.

“Chen’er, you’re here. Let Mother take a good look at you.”

The Blood Empress’s eyes were gentle. She reached out a hand, wanting to take Zhang Ruochen’s hand.

Zhang Ruochen took a step back. His eyes were cold and said: “I’m only here to ask you about something.”

“What is it, Chen’er?” The Blood Empress’s tone was still gentle.

Zhang Ruochen looked straight into the Blood Empress’s eyes. “Where is Chi Kunlun?”

Hearing this, the Blood Empress was sure that Zhang Ruochen must have known that Chi Kunlun was fake.

No matter how vivid Chi Kunlun’s fake body was, ultimately, it was still fake. Once they met, it couldn’t hide from Zhang Ruochen’s eyes.

Exhaling lightly, the Blood Empress said, “It looks like you already know that Kunlun isn’t in the Endless Abyss. He has fallen into Yan Wushen’s hands.”

At this, a cold light flashed in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes. The aura around him became colder and colder. He hated lies the most in his life.

“Master didn’t mean to lie to you, but she was worried that you would be at a disadvantage in Yan Wushen’s hands. After all, back then you weren’t as powerful as you are now.”

“Master once asked me, Xuemo, and Yan Liren to work together and deal with Yan Wushen. We wanted to take back Chi Kunlun. Unfortunately, Yan Wushen was too cunning and made our plan fail.”

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Qiu Yichi quickly explained.
