God Emperor - Chapter 2171

Chapter 2171: No Definite Winner

The yin and yang Tai Chi pattern rotated slowly and released a terrifying Swordwill. It enveloped the entire place and tightly locked onto Yan Wushen’s Qi.

Zhang Ruochen’s aura was rising. He merged his Swordwill and millions of Precepts of Swordsmanship into the yin and yang Tai Chi pattern so that he could unleash the strongest power of the Ying and Yang Sword Formation.

Yin Yuanchen silently sighed in relief and whispered, “So Brother Zhang still has such a trump card. Now that the Space Seal has been broken, there is hope to keep Yan Wushen here.”

Based on his guess, the powerhouses in the Imperial City must have sensed that there were some activities here. No matter how powerful Yan Wushen was, he could not fight against many of the Celestial Court’s powerhouses.

“Empress Chi Yao’s Blood Dripper? It’s not a bad Sword Formation.”

Yan Wushen’s eyes became serious.

Zhang Ruochen’s aura was completely integrated with the yin and yang Tai Chi pattern. It was as if both had become one. The Sword Formation could be operated according to his will.

After cultivating Sword Ten, Zhang Ruochen’s understanding of the Ying and Yang Sword Formation was undoubtedly more profound. Especially when he had comprehended the sixth realm, he could make the Sword Formation produce indescribable changes.

“Controlling life and death, seizing the opportunity.”

Zhang Ruochen’s hand suddenly pressed down.

Swish!

The yin and yang Tai Chi pattern shook violently. Swordlights that cut through Heaven and Earth pressed down from the sky.

Yan Wushen humphed lightly. The Book of Death that was placed on top of his head flipped. Then, a large number of terrifying mystic lights flew out to meet the swordlights.

The swordlight broke through the mystic light.

It directly collided with The Book of Death, and Yan Wushen was sent flying into the air, falling to the ground.

Unfortunately, he was unable to break through the book.

Yan Wushen let out a loud humph and activated his Supreme Artifact Gauntlet. He mobilized millions of the Precepts of Fist, and displayed an incomparably tyrannical and powerful fist technique.

A massive fist print blasted, filling the entire world, as if it wanted to pierce through the entire galaxy. No power could stop it.

Bang!

The fist print directly hit the yin and yang Tai Chi pattern. Unparalleled power was released without holding back.

Even if this Space was still in a half-sealed state, the area around the fist print would still be shattered, and countless Space fragments would be flying around.

However, no matter how it was being attacked, the yin and yang Tai Chi pattern was still extremely stable. It didn’t show any signs of collapsing. Instead, it was slowly destroying the power contained in the fist print.

Even the shattered space was suppressed and restored to its original state.

“Yan Wushen, is this all you have?” Zhang Ruochen spread out his hands. He held Space on one hand and Time on the other, representing the two swords of life and death that surrounded him.

“It’s still early.”

A tall and burly figure walked out of The Book of Death. His body exuded vast divine power. The mystic light of Life and Death circled behind him and condensed into a wheel. It was black and white. The power of Life and Death was constantly changing. Life and Death were within his control.

Both of them controlled Life and Death.

However, the figure that walked out wasn’t his real body. It was merely a mark left behind by a God in the past, and it was now revealed.

That God was invincibly powerful. He had once cultivated the Primordial Infernal Yama Qi and was unrivalled in the world, leaving behind an illustrious reputation.

Although it was just a mark, it seemed lifelike. It was as if his whole body had crossed the long river of time and descended from an incomparably distant era into the present world.

The tall and burly figure’s eyes were cold. He slowly raised his hand and pointed.

A vast amount of power of life and death gathered on his fingertip. He tapped lightly on the yin and yang Tai Chi pattern.

Instantly, the pattern shook. Then, the Sword Formation’s movement started to slow down.

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes changed slightly. His hands quickly formed seals. He merged a large number of Precepts of Time and Precepts of Dimension into the Sword Formation.

All of a sudden, the Sword Formation transformed a lot. The Spatial Domain and Time Domain manifested at the same time, changing the shape of Space and the speed of Time.

At the same time, Zhang Ruochen took out the Secret Tome of Time and Space. It formed a mysterious multi-dimensional space that covered the blood cloud where Chi Kunlun was.

He wasn’t sure what other cards Yan Wushen had. To be safe, he had to rescue Chi Kunlun first.

However, just as the Secret Tome of Time and Space was about to reach Chi Kunlun, Chi Kunlun disappeared into thin air and was teleported to Yan Wushen’s side in an instant.

Confining Chi Kunlun in his Spatial Domain, Yan Wushen said, “Zhang Ruochen, if you want to save Chi Kunlun, you’ll have to wait until you defeat me.”

As Yan Wushen’s voice fell, the small starry sky suddenly shrank and turned into a blood-red ball, falling into his hand.

Then, Yan Wushen manifested the Golden Giant Mode and soared into the sky.

Right behind him were Buddha’s shadow filling up the sky, and the chanting of sutras shook people’s hearts.

Swoosh

Yan Wushen turned into a streak of golden light with an unimaginable speed.

In an instant, thousands of palm prints appeared, each of them looking extremely fierce and overbearing. Golden ripples were rippling all around.

Inside an elegant Manor, Fairy Ci Hang suddenly raised her head and looked at the distant horizon. A look of surprise appeared in her eyes. “Golden Giant Mode. Amitabha Palm. Who is that?”

As a leader of Buddhism, Fairy Ci Hang was naturally very familiar with Buddhist techniques.

Regardless of whether it was the Golden Giant Mode or Amitabha Palm, they were both secret techniques of Buddhism. It was extremely difficult to cultivate them. In the current Western Buddha Realm, no one below Supreme Saint had cultivated Golden Giant Mode. The number of people who had cultivated the Amitabha Palm could be counted with just one hand.

But now, Fairy Ci Hang saw someone who had cultivated both Golden Giant Mode and Amitabha Palm at the same time. No matter how calm she was, she couldn’t help but feel a wave of emotions.

Fairy Ci Hang left the Manor and rushed towards the place where the battle was going on.

It wasn’t just Fairy Ci Hang. The other top powerhouses in the Imperial City also started to move. They wanted to find out what had happened.

“That’s…Yan Wushen. How dare he enter the Imperial City?”

Some of the powerhouses saw the attacker’s face clearly and exclaimed naturally.

As soon as these words were said, it caused a huge wave. The entire Imperial City was shaken.

“What? Yan Wushen is in the Imperial City? Is he crazy?”

“How dare he sneak into the Imperial City? Doesn’t it seem like Yan Wushen has no respect for the Celestial Court’s cultivators? We can’t let him leave.”

“If we can kill Yan Wushen, the Celestial Palace will reward us handsomely. This is a great opportunity. We can’t let Zhang Ruochen always take all the benefits.”

…

No matter how infamous Yan Wushen was, this was the Imperial City, the headquarters of the Celestial Court. No one was afraid. Instead, they all wanted to capture or kill Yan Wushen and render meritorious service.

Seeing that it was Zhang Ruochen fighting with Yan Wushen, many cultivators were eager to attack. They didn’t want to see Zhang Ruochen’s reputation being pushed to a higher level.

“How can it be Yan Wushen? Where did he get the secret teachings of Buddhism?” Fairy Ci Hang frowned.

The secret teachings of Buddhism had been obtained by the Infernal Court. It wasn’t a good thing.

Boom!

Thousands of palm prints struck out consecutively, shaking the yin and yang Tai Chi pattern and inevitably revealing a slight flaw.

Relying on his Divine Eye of Origin, Yan Wushen clearly caught this flaw. His whole body acted. And without any fancy moves, he punched at a weak point of the Sword Formation.

Whoosh—

The Ying and Yang Sword Formation was torn open with a small hole. Yan Wushen grabbed The Book of Death with one hand and escaped immediately.

Standing in the sky above the Central Imperial City, Yan Wushen’s eyes were filled with regret, “It seems that this battle cannot be continued.”

He wanted to fight Zhang Ruochen to claim a real winner, even to death. But it was almost impossible in this situation.

“Zhang Ruochen, I will fight you again after I have completed merging. If you remain with this little strength by then, you will definitely lose,” Yan Wushen said indifferently.

After finishing his words, Yan Wushen didn’t stay any longer. He immediately tore through Space and left the Imperial City.

“Yan Wushen, don’t you dare leave.”

At this moment, many top powerhouses attacked Yan Wushen from different directions.

It was a rare opportunity to deal with Yan Wushen. No one wanted to miss it.

All at once, palm prints, fist prints, and sword light shot through the air. A pagoda and fane descended from the sky, releasing vast divine power. They seemed to be able to suppress everything in the world.

Yan Wushen humphed calmly and said, “A motley crew. Do you think you are qualified to fight with me?”

He was now one with good and evil, and even if he was not, he still would not put these people in his eyes.

Boundless golden light burst out of Yan Wushen’s body, forming golden ripples that spread in all directions like tides.

BOOM!

Wherever the golden ripple passed, all the Saint Technique were destroyed. The pagoda and fane were also sent flying.

The people who attacked were no exception. They were all affected by the golden ripple and injured to varying degrees.

“How can he be so strong? Is he really still at Saint Kinghood?”

Several powerhouses were extremely shocked.

They were all powerhouses below the first level of Supreme Saint. If they attacked together, not only would they not be able to do anything to Yan Wushen, but they would also be injured. To them, this was a huge blow.

They were all of the same level but the gap between them was too big.

An incomplete ancient talisman appeared in Yan Wushen’s hand. After activating it, it released an extremely mysterious power. It forcefully pierced through the Space in front of it and formed a pitch-black tunnel.

What was inconceivable was that this tunnel actually broke through the Imperial City’s Sword Formation and directly led out of the city.

Yan Wushen retracted his Golden Giant Mode and returned to his original appearance. He brought Chi Kunlun along and transformed into a ray of light, entering the tunnel.

Boom!

Many powerhouses rushed over and attacked one after another. All sorts of Saint Techniques and sacred artifacts bombarded the pitch-black tunnel.

Unfortunately, they were too late. The dark tunnel collapsed on its own, blocking out all the attacks.

Everything happened in a flash that Zhang Ruochen didn’t have time to attack. Of course, he was also afraid of hurting Chi Kunlun.

Since Yan Wushen dared to enter the Imperial City, he must have a way to escape. The possibility of keeping him was slim.

It was a bad sign that Yan Wushen could enter the Imperial City quietly. Could other masters of the Hell World had also entered the Imperial City?

It was a bad sign that Yan Wushen could enter the Imperial City quietly. Could there be other powerhouses of the Infernal Court who had also entered the Imperial City?

No matter how hard he thought about it, Zhang Ruochen did not think that Yan Wushen merely entered the Imperial City just to fight with him.

In addition, Yan Wushen was now a combination of good and evil. His ability had soared, which also made Zhang Ruochen feel pressure.

He had always been invincible at his level.

Yan Wushen was the only exception.

It should be known that Yan Wushen was still in the initial stage of merging. He was not stable yet and had not reached the actual peak. When he calmed down, his strength would certainly improve a lot.

Just as Zhang Ruochen was thinking, Fairy Ci Hang came up to him and asked, “Junior Zhang, how much do you know about Yan Wushen’s situation?”

Zhang Ruochen knew that Fairy Ci Hang wanted to get some information. He couldn’t help but reply, “Yan Wushen received the inheritance of an ancient Saint-level Buddha. He comprehended the ways of good and evil and has split into good and evil bodies. Now, he has finally completed his merits.”

Even though it was only a short line, Fairy Ci Hang understood many things at once. She was enlightened.

“So it’s…”

Fairy Ci Hang had guessed the Saint-level Buddha’s identity and knew the Forbidden Dharma he’d created.

Few people in Buddhism dared to try that kind of Buddhist dharma.

She didn’t expect Yan Wushen to not only dare to cultivate, but also go a step further and completely split the good and evil. It was hard to imagine how determined he was.

Fairy Ci Hang rarely admired anyone, but she had to admire Yan Wushen.

He was truly a man of his generation.

If it weren’t for Zhang Ruochen in this era, Yan Wushen, who was a combination of good and evil, might have been able to overturn the entire Battlefield of Merits on his own. Who could stop him?

The Four Heavenly Kings could no longer suppress him.

No matter how many first-level powerhouses there were, if they couldn’t set the Space and surround him, Yan Wushen would probably break and kill them all one by one.

Just like Lord Wentian of the Ten Tribulations who fought against the Infernal Court alone, the starry sky was painted in red with Divine Blood.

Other than the ancient Saint-level Buddha, Yan Wushen should be the only one who had practiced the Forbidden Dharma, Golden Giant mode, and Amitabha Palm.

Yin Yuanchen came to Zhang Ruochen’s side. He shook his head and sighed. “It’s a pity that you couldn’t make Yan Wushen stay.”

Zhang Ruochen looked at Yin Yuanchen and said, “Yan Wushen came for me. I’ve implicated you this time.”

“A small injury is nothing. Fighting with Yan Wushen was always my wish and I have finally fulfilled it,” said Yin Yuanchen.

Although he had been defeated badly, at least he had fought with Yan Wushen once. This was an experience that many first-level powerhouses below the Supreme Saint yearned for.

“Zhang Ruochen, what is going on?”

At this moment, a cold voice sounded.

The speaker was a thin man in black armor. He was less than six feet tall and his face was as sharp as a knife. His eyes were as cold as ice, and there was a faint evil Qi on his body. It was obvious that he was not a good person.

Hearing this voice, Zhang Ruochen turned his head. He locked his eyes on the man and recognized him at a glance. That man was Saint Lord Xue Tian, the leader of Cha Realm.

Speaking of which, Zhang Ruochen had killed many of Cha Realm’s cultivators in Shengming City, including Gu Tianyin, whose strength was close to the third level below the Supreme Saint.

Cha Realm was the sacred ground of the heretical paths. It had many long-standing dark cults and cultivated mysterious witchcraft. It was not easy to provoke.

Zhang Ruochen said lightly, “Isn’t it obvious enough?”

“Why is Yan Wushen Here?” asked Saint Lord Xue Tian in a questioning tone.

Zhang Ruochen said, “You should ask Yan Wushen about this.”

“You saw Yan Wushen escape and yet you didn’t stop him. Why? Could there be some secret between you and Yan Wushen that you are afraid of exposing if he is captured?” continued Saint Lord Xue Tian.

Akash also walked out and said, “Zhang Ruochen, I think you should explain everything clearly to avoid any misunderstandings.”

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of powerhouses had gathered. Most of them were leaders of macroworlds. They all looked at Zhang Ruochen. No one knew what they were thinking.

Zhang Ruochen found it funny. If it were Yan Wusheng standing here, would they dare to question him like this?

“You are not qualified to speak in such a tone to me.”

Bang!

Zhang Ruochen flicked his finger lightly. The surrounding space shook violently. Hundreds of leaders of the macroworld felt that they could not stand steadily. It was as if the sky was going to collapse and the earth was going to sink. Their bodies unconsciously stepped back.

Under the eyes of many, Zhang Ruochen walked straight out of the Central Imperial City.

Yan Wushen had publicly entered the Central Imperial City. He came and went as he pleased. How arrogant and unbridled was he. Today, the momentum of Kunlun and the Celestial Court’s army had undoubtedly suffered a serious blow. Everyone would be in danger.

Naturally, Zhang Ruochen had to go and get back at them.

Just look at the Infernal Court. How many people could withstand his sword?
