God Emperor - Chapter 2410
Chapter 2410: Growling Tiger, Roaring Dragon
After Que and Lan Ying left, the Supreme Saints of the Immortal Vampires, the Deathkin, and Yanluo Clan started a fierce battle in the void near the Albajade Tree.
Under the leadership of Lord Bladehell and Lady Wind, the Supreme Saint Army of the Immortal Vampires launched three attacks and finally broke out of the encirclement.
Unfortunately, the teleportation array was destroyed by the Bone Clan Supreme Saint.
Lord Bladehell stood at the edge of the shattered dimensional teleportation array, his face cold as he said, “Oh no! Zhang Ruochen is under attack from Yan Wushen, Que, and Lan Ying. He might not be able to make it until the end of the Celestial-Hunting battle. Lady Wind, could you repair the teleportation array with your Destiny power?”
Lady Wind shook her head. “Many parts of the dimensional teleportation array have been shattered into dust, and the Dimensional Inscriptions have been destroyed. Its damage is beyond my competence in the Path of Destiny to repair.”
Lord Bladehell took out the diamond-shaped mirror and checked the points on it.
The points of Yanluo Clan were dropping rapidly. It was obvious that the Saint Devourer and Supreme Saint Yi Xuan had arrived on Yanluo Clan’s home planet and were killing Yanluo clansmen.
It was impossible to kill all Yanluo clansmen.
Therefore, the key to the final victory was still Zhang Ruochen.
Lord Bladehell stared at the Supreme Saints of the Immortal Vampires; he used his spiritual power to send a message. “The Celestial-Hunting battle is coming to an end. There’s no point in continuing the battle. The Supreme Saints of the Immortal Vampires should leave the battlefield immediately. They don’t want to lose their points by attacking first.”
…
The Supreme Saints of the Immortal Vampires left the battlefield one after another.
The Supreme Saints of Yanluo Clan, Deathkins, Bone clan, and Stone Clan all stopped fighting because they had killed all the Supreme Saint Celestial Captives. Some left the battlefield directly. Some took out diamond-shaped lenses and stared at the changes in their points.
There were less than two hours left until the Celestial-Hunting battle ended.
As for the Supreme Saints of the Netherkin, they had used the teleportation array to rush back to their home planet before Que and Lan Ying went to kill Zhang Ruochen. They had no choice. Their home planet had been attacked by the Rakshasas, so they had to return immediately.
The battle that broke out on the home planet of the Netherkin would determine the third and fourth places.
…
…
Que turned around and slashed with his sword. He used the Oblivion Sword technique and hit the spiritual body of Lan Ying.
As the sword light passed through, a large part of the spiritual body of Lan Ying was devoured by the power of Oblivion, and his body was split into two.
“Ah!” A miserable cry came out of Lan Ying’s mouth. The two halves of his body could not reunite for a long time.
He was not only a Spirit of Slaughter born from a Divine Fetus but also the spirit of the Sword of Asura. His spiritual body was originally immortal and indestructible. Even if it was shattered ten times, it could still return to its original state.
However, after being attacked by Que’s Oblivion Sword technique, he was heavily injured with just one strike.
Kagemaru hovered above Que’s head and enveloped him with Sword Qi.
He carefully approached the small brass cauldron. Black gaseous patterns flowed out of the hollow pattern and wrapped around the cauldron.
Que did not believe that Zhang Ruochen would hand over the Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill so easily, so he was on guard and did not advance rashly.
“Such strong Power of Darkness. If I touch the brass cauldron rashly, I’m afraid that even with my cultivation, I’ll be at a great disadvantage.”
Que observed black gas lines and realized that this brass cauldron was definitely no small matter. After all, the Power of Darkness could not be withstood by just any vessel.
Even a Regal Artifact would be corroded into scrap metal by the Power of Darkness.
Back then, Zhang Ruochen had used the Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill to crack the black gas lines.
Que mobilized the power of Oblivion and filled his hands. His arms suddenly disappeared. Only he could sense the existence of his hands.
Both of his hands pressed on the black gas pattern. The power of Oblivion continued to destroy the power of Darkness, forming a two-meter-wide hole. Que walked in.
After a moment of hesitation, Que did not approach. Instead, he struck the lid of the cauldron with his palm.
Whoosh!
The lid was blown away.
A dark blue light rushed out from the cauldron.
The light was dazzling. It illuminated Que’s pupils to a dark blue color. Following that, blood flowed out of his eyes.
“What a terrifying light. This is not good. This aura is an Emperor Grade Sacred Pill. The fluctuations of energy are not weaker than that of a Supreme Supreme Saint.”
Que was extremely shocked and quickly retreated.
It was an Emperor Grade Sacred Pill, not an Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill.
Swoosh Swoosh–
Each streak of light was like a peerless divine sword that stabbed toward Que.
There were more than a thousand streaks of light that flew toward Que.
Kagemaru blocked in front of Que and continuously slashed out, forming an impenetrable sword barrier. However, the power of the Emperor Grade Sacred Pill was too terrifying. The barrier lasted for a moment before it was shattered.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Streak after streak of light beam struck Que’s body.
Que desperately used the power of Oblivion to make his body become illusory, but his speed was a beat slower.
After being hit by hundreds of light beams, Que was sent flying with blood all over his body.
In front of Paramount1 Supreme Saint, even with Que’s cultivation, he was nothing. The Emperor Grade Sacred Pill did not attack personally. It only emitted light beams, yet he could not block them.
“He’s not dead?” A voice sounded from within the cauldron.
Yes, Que was not dead.
When he was hit by the light beams, his body entered a semi-illusory state, which reduced more than half of the attack power.
Que supported his heavily injured body and turned into an oblivion state, escaping from this area. After entering the oblivion state, even a Paramount Supreme Saint would not be able to find him at a certain distance.
Lan Ying and Yan Wushen looked at the small brass cauldron in shock.
‘How did another Emperor Grade Sacred Pill appear on the Celestial-Hunting battlefield?’
Moreover, this Emperor Grade Sacred Pill was obviously not sealed. Its combat strength was very terrifying.
Not to mention them, even some deities were bewildered at this moment.
Emperor Grade Sacred Pills were extremely rare and even had some effect on gods.
The projection image of Wargod Bloodximius appeared in The Fane of Destiny and said, “The presence of the Emperor Grade Sacred Pill has already broken the power balance of the Celestial-Hunting battlefield. In order to protect the lives of a few outstanding juniors, please end the Celestial-Hunting battle early.”
“Please end the Celestial-Hunting battle early,”
said the Immortal Vampires’ deities appeared one after another simultaneously.
Ghost Master’s voice in a sarcastic tone rang out. “The Celestial-Hunting battle has been held 100 times. No one has ever broken the rules set by the Fane of Destiny. Even if there were only two hours left, they had to wait. If they couldn’t defeat the opponent, Zhang Ruochen could completely withdraw from the battlefield. With the Mystic Eye of Myriad Realms, how could one Emperor Grade Sacred Pill kill him?”
‘Withdraw from the battlefield?!’
All the Immortal Vampires were with Zhang Ruochen. If he chose to withdraw from the battlefield, they would be considered dead. At that time, the Immortal Vampires’ points would be cut in half.
A Deathkin deity appeared and said, “Bloodximius, don’t worry too much. Since Que can escape with his life, I believe Zhang Ruochen can do it too. Besides, he’s the one who took out the Emperor Grade Sacred Pill.”
“The rules set by the Fane of Destiny must not be broken. Otherwise, the Celestial-Hunting battle will not be held in the future!” said another deity.
…
With Ghost Master leading the way, the other deities of the other clans were happy to watch the show. All of them advised Fukurokuju to stick to the rules set by the Fane of Destiny and not end the Celestial-Hunting battle early.
The Asuran deity, Asurendra Barasingha, and the deity of Yanluo Clan fell silent and did not appear in the Fane of Destiny.
Fukurokuju said, “The Celestial-Hunting battle continues. No deities are allowed to interfere in the battle. Those who violate the rules will be punished by the judicial department of the Fane of Destiny.”
The Immortal Vampire deities were furious.
They were not angry at Fukurokuju. After all, Fukurokuju was in that position, so he had to be fair. He could not help the Immortal Vampires.
If it weren’t for Ghost Master, Fukurokuju might have ended the battle prematurely because he cherished young talents.
That way, the Immortal Vampires would win.
Now, Lan Ying and Yan Wushen could both leave the battlefield, but only Zhang Ruochen could not. With his cultivation, how could he be a match for a Paramount Supreme Saint?
Returning to a Divine Plane, the eyes of Wargod Bloodximius were grim, “Now, I only hope that Zhang Ruochen won’t be so stubborn and will leave the battlefield immediately. Even if the Immortal Vampires can only get second place, I also hope that he can prioritize his life first.”
“I think so too,” Luo Yan echoed as he sat on the side.
The Ancient God of Knowledge stroked his beard and said with a smile, “This is naturally for the best. Everyone will be happy.”
Wargod Bloodximius had not spent much time with Zhang Ruochen, his grandson, but he knew Zhang Ruochen’s character very well. He felt that Zhang Ruochen would unlikely withdraw from the battlefield.
He could not help but sigh.
…
Celestial-Hunting battlefield–
Lan Ying left the battlefield immediately.
Only Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen, who were severely injured, remained in the void space. They were wrapped in a strand of Pill Qi, like a divine chain. They could not escape.
Zhang Ruochen glanced at the small brass cauldron and then at Yan Wushen. “Aren’t you going to leave the battlefield? If you don’t, I’m afraid you’ll die at the hands of the Emperor Grade Sacred Pill.”
“I won’t leave until you leave the battlefield.” Yan Wushen gritted his teeth and fought against the Pill Qi.
The Pill Qi was like a chain, dragging Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen toward the small brass cauldron.
The Emperor Grade Sacred Pill’s voice came from the cauldron. “One of you has a demi-buddha physique while the other has a demigod physique. Your bloodlines are very powerful. If I refine you into my body, I might have a chance to become a Divine Pill.”
Zhang Ruochen spoke to Yan Wushen telepathically, “Since we don’t plan to leave the battlefield early, why don’t we cooperate and suppress the Emperor Grade Sacred Pill first? Then we can continue the battle.”
“Suppress the Emperor Grade Sacred Pill?”
Yan Wushen widened his eyes. He thought Zhang Ruochen was too crazy.
Zhang Ruochen said, “If I’m not wrong, the small brass cauldron should be able to suppress the Emperor Grade Sacred Pill, so it can’t come out of the cauldron. It can only attack us with light beams and Qi remotely.
“As long as the lid is closed, the Emperor Grade Sacred Pill will be suppressed again.”
“How confident are you?” Yan Wushen asked.
Zhang Ruochen said, “I’m not confident. But I have to try, right? I won’t admit defeat, and I won’t leave the battlefield. If you’re scared, you can leave the battlefield now.”
“If I leave the battlefield now, Yanluo Clan will lose the chance to become number one.
“Okay, let’s suppress the Emperor Grade Sacred Pill first.
“I won’t lose the Battle of the Celestial-Hunting without fighting until the last moment,” said Yan Wushen.
“Okay! I’ll hold it back and divert its attention. You cover the lid.”
Zhang Ruochen’s broken arm was reattached. His internal injuries were very serious, and his combat strength was far from his peak. However, this did not affect his determination to fight against the Emperor Grade Sacred Pill.
No matter what, he had to win first place among the ten clans.
“Saint Aspect: The Immovable Wisdom King!”
A huge golden shadow rushed out of Zhang Ruochen’s body and kept expanding the Pill Qi around his body. In the next moment, Zhang Ruochen’s body contracted and broke away from the restriction of the Pill Qi.
“You still want to escape?”
The Emperor Grade Sacred Pill’s voice rang out. Hundreds of thousands of light beams flew out from the small brass cauldron and shot toward Zhang Ruochen.
There were too many of these light beams. Even Que could not block them. Zhang Ruochen, who was heavily injured, did not dare to block them forcefully. He threw out Violet Gourd and contracted his body to rush in.
More than a dozen light beams followed him into the mouth of the Gourd.
Among them, there was a light beam that contained the spiritual clone of the Emperor Grade Sacred Pill.
After entering the Gourd, the light beam continued to chase after Zhang Ruochen.
The light beam did not fly straight. It was like a flying sword, slashing at him from all directions.
Thud!
Thud! Thud!
…
Zhang Ruochen was hit by several streaks of light beams. Streams of blood flowed out of his body.
The last streak of light beam stabbed toward his glabella.
At this moment, a door of light flew over and collided with the light beam.
Pan Ruo’s slender figure appeared behind the door of light. She pressed her hands forward, and the door of light turned into a spiral shape, absorbing the light beam into her Realm of Trueself.
Pan Ruo then looked at Zhang Ruochen carefully. She frowned, and there was a noticeable gentleness in her eyes. “Why are you hurt so badly?”
“I don’t have time to explain. Come with me. Let’s suppress the Emperor Grade Sacred Pill first. Yan Wushen won’t be able to hold on for long,” said Zhang Ruochen.
Pan Ruo was full of questions, but she still agreed decisively. “Okay!”
Yan Wushen could not die. Once he died, it would be useless even if Zhang Ruochen hid in Violet Gourd. He would not be able to escape death.
They could either die together or live together.
When the Emperor Grade Sacred Pill attacked Zhang Ruochen with the light beam, Yan Wushen immediately used his Profound Spatial Dimension to break away from the restriction of the Pill Qi. He circled to the back of the small brass cauldron and picked up the lid.
But before he could do anything, the Emperor Grade Sacred Pill noticed him.
This time, the Emperor Grade Sacred Pill split out dozens of strands of Pill Qi and wrapped around Yan Wushen’s body. It wrapped tighter and tighter, crushing his demi-buddha body into pieces. His bones cracked as if they were about to turn into mud.
“Then I’ll refine you first. Then I’ll deal with the Immortal Vampire who hid in the Gourd,” said the Emperor Grade Sacred Pill.
Yan Wushen could not move. He was pulled by the Pill Qi and flew toward the small brass cauldron.
“Zhang Ruochen is too… too sinister… he let me cover the cauldron but hid in the Gourd…”
Seeing the small brass cauldron getting closer and closer, Yan Wushen could not say a word. His mouth could not move. He could not shout out to leave the battlefield. He only felt that he would die being duped by Zhang Ruochen today.
Whoosh
Zhang Ruochen and Pan Ruo flew out of the Gourd at the same time.
Pan Ruo’s cultivation was too low. She burned the Supreme Saint’s blood and lifespan at the same time to increase her power to the peak. Then she used all her strength to open the Door of Trueself. The light of Destiny shone on the small brass cauldron.
The power contained in dozens of Pill Qi instantly decreased.
Taking this opportunity, Zhang Ruochen moved his five fingers. 36 Dimensional Swords condensed. He slashed out and cut off all the Pill Qi surrounding Yan Wushen’s body.
At this moment, Yan Wushen was only ten feet away from the small brass cauldron.
After escaping, Yan Wushen’s deformed eyes shot out two rays of light. They exploded with unparalleled reaction power. He waved his hand like lightning and pressed the lid down.
Boom
The lid closed.
The power from the Emperor Grade Sacred Pill instantly disappeared.
It was finally suppressed again.
The world fell into a long silence.
Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen looked at each other with smiles on their faces. At this moment, they had completely forgotten that the other party was their enemy.
In the starry sky, tiger roars and dragon roars came from two different directions.
The starry sky near Zhang Ruochen turned white. The light was blazing, illuminating all the darkness in the world. Vaguely, a tiger shadow could be seen in the white light.
On the other hand, the starry sky near Yan Wushen turned blue. It seemed to be able to cleanse the world. The shadow of a dragon meandered in the starry sky.
