God Emperor - Chapter 2334

Chapter 2334 Dark Space-time Matter

Zhang Ruochen and Pan Ruo flew 300 miles away from the black vortex. They didn’t dare to move forward. The strong pulling force made them lose their balance and their bodies sway.

What was more terrifying was that the density of Marks of Time increased greatly in the black fog storm. Sharp Dimensional Rifts flew past quickly, and black lightning flashed through.

Time, Dimension, and Darkness. These three powers had evolved to the point where they could easily kill a Supreme Saint.

‘The Dimensional Rifts can move so fast. I understand. It’s the result of dimension and time merging,’ Zhang Ruochen thought. His heart moved, and a dazzling light appeared in his eyes.

Actually, in Zhang Ruochen’s understanding, the Dimensional Rifts had always been the simplest and most vicious attack of the Power of Dimension.

It was like the stab and slash in sword techniques.

There was not much fancy, just to kill with one strike at the fastest speed.

But this was not the case. When confronted with a cultivator of a higher realm, Zhang Ruochen could always use his speed to avoid the Dimensional Rift, or he could use arrays, talismans, weapons, and so on to suppress the space and cause the Dimensional Rift to close again, losing its power.

In truth, it was just that they weren’t fast enough.

In the world of martial arts, speed was the only thing that couldn’t be broken.

The Dimensional Rift wasn’t about its size, but its speed.

If the Dimensional Rift flew out quickly enough, the other party would not be able to avoid it at all, let alone cast a defensive technique to counter it. Perhaps, combining the Mark of Time with the Dimensional Rift was a good path.

‘As the Master of Time and Space, I should take one path. Other Time and Dimension cultivators can’t. Time and Dimension become one,’ Zhang Ruochen thought.

Whoosh

An inch-long Dimensional Rift appeared between the five fingers of Zhang Ruochen’s right hand.

Around Zhang Ruochen, Mark of Time light spots were captured by him and gathered toward the Dimensional Rift. The two merged into one.

Whoosh

Zhang Ruochen motioned with his arm. The one-inch-long Dimensional Rift flew out and into the massive black vortex. It was ten times faster than it had previously been.

This was just his first attempt. There was a limit to the Marks of Time he could integrate.

Obviously, the more Marks of Time he could integrate, the faster the Dimensional Rift would be.

Of course, the more Marks of Time he could integrate, the more time he would need to activate them.

There were pros and cons to everything. It was hard to get the best of both worlds.

‘Fighting a top elite head-on may only have a limited effect. However, if I use this move to launch a sneak attack, it should pose a great threat to a Banshi Isshou Realm Supreme Saint,’ Zhang Ruochen thought.

Zhang Ruochen thought about how to make the Dimensional Rift contain more attributes.

For example, combining with the Precepts of Fire and Swordsmanship.

The most successful Path was the first thing that came to mind. Although the Paths of Darkness and Destiny were both Paths of Ancients, Zhang Ruochen was neither the Master of Darkness nor the Master of Destiny, nor was he a cultivator of Darkness or a cultivator of Destiny. He was only a passing observer.

It was worth mentioning that the Path of Darkness was the easiest to cultivate and would have the highest achievements in the future.

However, there were very few Masters of Darkness.

Next were the elites of the Fane of Darkness. They were all cultivators of Darkness. Before they entered the Saint Realm, they had used the Precept of Darkness as a seed of Darkness and fused it into their Saint Souls.

Finally, there was another group of cultivators who, like Zhang Ruochen, had not integrated the Precept of Darkness into their Saint Souls before they had cultivated it. It would be very difficult to comprehend the Precept of Darkness. Moreover, even if they had comprehended the Precept of Darkness, they could not integrate it into their Saint Souls.

Therefore, the Path of Darkness and the Path of Destiny, which Zhang Ruochen wanted to study and understand, could not integrate with the Saint Souls, so he could not achieve much.

Zhang Ruochen had meditated here for ten years, but he had only comprehended tens of thousands of Precepts of Darkness.

With Zhang Ruochen’s current cultivation, he could certainly use the Path of Darkness to deal with the Saint Kings. However, if he fought with someone like Wujiang, the Path of Darkness was almost useless. Including the Path of Truth, Zhang Ruochen had not fused with the Saint Soul, so he couldn’t have very high achievements. However, the Fane of Truth was selfless and rewarded the geniuses with the Canon of Truth, which gave Zhang Ruochen a chance to peek at the Major Path of Truth.

It could be said that without the Canon of Truth, Zhang Ruochen could not cultivate the Realm-frame of Truth, let alone the Heart of Truth. It was impossible to cultivate the Path of Truth to Perfection in the Saint King realm.

Zhang Ruochen wanted to achieve great success in the Path of Darkness and the Path of Destiny unless he could get the Canon of Darkness and the Canon of Destiny.

Zhang Ruochen’s Dimensional Rift was flying so fast that Pan Ruo, who was standing on the side, could not see it at all. She said, “Those black lightning bolts are not real lightning bolts, but highly condensed Power of Darkness.”

As if to confirm her guess, she shot out a Divine Bone Arrow.

Boom

A black lightning bolt hit the Divine Bone Arrow.

The Divine Bone Arrow broke in half and flew out diagonally.

Zhang Ruochen reached out and grabbed at the air. He retrieved one of the broken arrows and brought it before his eyes. Where the arrow had broken, it was as black as ink and as charred as sand.

“What terrifying Power of Darkness. Even the Divine Bone can’t withstand a single blow,” said Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were solemn. He released the Realm-frame of Truth, Spatial Domain, and Null Time realm to cover his body.

“The raindrops in the black fog vortex should be Dark Space-time Matter,” said Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen took out the Ghost-headed Whip and injected Saint Qi into it.

Crash

Dense Regal Inscriptions appeared on the Ghost-headed Whip. It released strong Ghostly Qi and turned into a black whip snake that flew out. The skull at the top of the whip opened its mouth wide and swallowed a raindrop.

The black raindrop pierced through the skull and flew out.

Zhang Ruochen quickly put away the Ghost-headed Whip. He noticed that the whip had been harmed by the Power of Dimension, and the Regal Inscription had been corroded by the Power of Darkness.

‘The Ghost-headed Whip is a treasure among the Regal Artifacts. It can’t even take a drop of Dark Space-time Matter! Do I have to use a Supreme Artifact?’ Zhang Ruochen wondered.

Zhang Ruochen held the Violet Gourd in his hand and hesitated.

If the Violet Gourd was swept away by the black fog vortex, it would be a great loss!

Pan Ruo said, “In this world, there are very few vessels that can hold Dark Space-time Matter. Even a Supreme Artifact might not be able to do it. However, some methods can fuse with Dark Space-time Matter and take it.

“The Door of Trueself.”

The bright and shining Gate of Destiny flew out from behind Pan Ruo and continued on its way to the black fog vortex.

Zhang Ruochen narrowed his eyes and looked carefully. He saw a drop of Dark Space-time Matter spinning and flying. When it hit the Gate of Destiny, it was immediately blocked by many Precepts of Destiny, Precepts of Dimension, Precepts of Darkness, and Marks of Time; it was like a spider web wrapping around it.

Pan Ruo waved her arm and the Gate of Destiny flew back.

A black droplet flowed on the door of light.

Her Gate of Destiny was mainly formed by the Precepts of Destiny. The number of Precepts of Dimension and Marks of Time did not exceed 50,000. There were more Precepts of Darkness, but it was not half of the Precepts of Destiny.

Pan Ruo stopped collecting Dark Space-time Matter. She closed her eyes and studied it carefully.

‘She only took one drop, but why are there fewer raindrops in the black fog vortex? Even the speed of the black fog vortex has slowed down.’ Zhang Ruochen wondered.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t spend too much time thinking. He prepared to take one drop first.

‘She has the Gate of Destiny. I have the Saint Aspect of Time and Dimension.’ Zhang Ruochen thought.

Zhang Ruochen first released the Saint Aspect of Dimension and flew toward the black fog vortex. The Saint Aspect of Dimension was shapeless and immaterial, but Zhang Ruochen could feel that it was like a vortex, similar to the black fog vortex in front of him.

Not long after, the Saint Aspect of Dimension caught a drop of Dark Space-time Matter, assimilated it, and collected it in front of Zhang Ruochen.

Even if it was just a drop of Dark Space-time Matter, it contained a huge energy fluctuation and was extremely heavy.

Zhang Ruochen finally understood why Pan Ruo stopped taking action after taking a drop. It was not that she did not want to continue collecting, but that she was too weak to do so.

With her cultivation, it was already her limit to take a drop.

“Continue,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Zhang Ruochen used the Precept of Dimension to seal this drop of Dark Space-time Matter. Then, he urged the Saint Aspect of Dimension to continue collecting.

The Saint Aspect of Dimension collected 13 drops of Dark Space-time Matter in a row before it reached its limit and could no longer carry it.

Zhang Ruochen switched to the Saint Aspect of Time and continued to collect.

Pan Ruo studied the drop of Dark Space-time Matter thoroughly. After sealing it, she began to collect the second drop.

It took about seven days for Zhang Ruochen’s Saint Aspect of Time and Dimension to collect 13 drops of Dark Space-time Matter each. Pan Ruo’s Door of Trueself collected three drops.

The raindrops in the black fog vortex disappeared without a trace.

The Dimensional Rifts and black lightning in the vortex also decreased. They were not as terrifying as before.

“We have collected all the Dark Space-time Matter,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Pan Ruo frowned slightly, she asked doubtfully, “Were we hallucinating in the beginning? The Dark Space-time Matter that I saw turned into a raindrop. The amount was almost endless. How come we only took 29 drops and the Dark Space-time Matter was

gone?”

Zhang Ruochen said, “I thought you had read all the books in the Fane of Destiny and cultivated the Door of Trueself. You know everything. I didn’t expect that you couldn’t see through it too.”

“Do you know what’s going on?” Pan Ruo asked.

Pan Ruo’s starry eyes finally looked straight into Zhang Ruochen’s eyes again, wanting to know the reason.

“I don’t know,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Of course, Zhang Ruochen knew what was going on. It was a visual illusion created by multiple spaces. 29 drops of Dark Space-time Matter were like 290,000 drops, 2.9 billion drops. The more chaotic the space, the more Dark Space-time Matter one could see.

Pan Ruo snorted coldly.

Of course, she knew that Zhang Ruochen knew the reason. He just didn’t say it on purpose. Zhang Ruochen was dissatisfied with her. He was giving her a taste of her own medicine by doing so. If she continued to ask, it would be exactly what Zhang Ruochen wanted. Fortunately, Pan Ruo didn’t mention it anymore. She stared at the yellow light spot in the black vortex, she said, “A small brass cauldron appeared in the center of the black vortex. It’s too strange. The black lightning can destroy the Divine Bone Arrow, and the Dark Space-time Matter raindrops can damage the Regal Artifact, but they can’t hurt it. Take a guess. What is it?”
