Chapter 876: Half-Saint

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

No one could see clearly the look of the Empress, as the shadow was rather blurred.

But with her standing there, a strand of terrible power burst out and swept across the land for thousands of miles with Imperial Might.

Some lower rank Half-Saints hiding in the dark couldn’t resist the powerful Imperial Might and knelt on the ground.

Zhang Ruochen was standing opposite the shadow of the Empress, and naturally he was pressed even harder. His hair and cloths kept flinging around and his legs trembled, but Zhang Ruochen didn’t kneel down. And he shouted, “Attack.”

Mark of Gods appeared inside Zhang Ruochen’s body and hovered around to resist the Imperial Might given out by the Empress’s shadow.

His eyes were even more bloodshot. He took the Taotian Sword and leaped into midair. Then he wielded the sword to chop the 1000-meter-tall shadow of the Empress.

Numerous people in the dark were frightened to death by his action.

It was severe disrespect to mention the Empress’s name in Kunlun’s Field.

But who should have expected that such a Fish-Dragon Realm monk dared to wield a sword to chop the Empress’s shadow.

Didn’t he know that the cultivation of the Empress had gone beyond heaven and hell? This mere shadow of hers also contained Imperial Might and her spiritual power.

Perhaps at the minute, the true self of the Empress had caught the sight of Zhang Ruochen the Rebel through her shadow.

“You are asking for death to behave like that in front of Empress.”

Jian Kongzi gave a sneer. He raised one hand slowly and gave a quick hit to the surface of the Killing Token in front of him.

At the same time, the shadow of the Empress raised her hand and pressed in her front to pat at the head of Zhang Ruochen.

“Sword Three.” Zhang Ruochen input Holy Qi continuously into the Taotian Sword. Thousands of inscriptions began to show on its surface.

Destruction of the Thousand-patterns burst out as the sword moved.

The Taotian Sword hit the palm of the Empress and made a deafening noise.

Puff!

Zhang Ruochen spit a mouthful of blood and fell from midair. With a loud noise, he crashed into the ground.

A giant pit of a handprint appeared on the ground, which was almost 100 meters in diameter, and a rumbling noise was heard. Mud was pushed out of the handprint pit on all sides.

Zhang Ruochen almost kneeled at the bottom of the pit, leaning on the sword. His body was covered with blood and skin was almost broken into pieces. His blood had turned the soil under his feet into bloody mud.

Everyone else showed smirks rather than pity at the sight of him.

They all thought that Zhang Ruochen was totally reckless to challenge the Empress. He was almost as bold and ridiculous as an ant trying to challenge a god.

“Being hit by one palm of the Empress, Zhang Ruochen would be at least disabled if he could survive by luck. He could never fight back,” Zhuang Xuankong laughed.

So he walked to the handprint pit before everyone else.

But after five steps, he sensed a strong strand of Qi billow gushing out from the bottom of the pit.

“What’s that?”

Zhuang Xuankong changed his face and transferred Holy Qi to his arms. With a push of both his hands to the front, a thick wall of Holy Qi was created.

Strong Qi billow kept hitting on the wall of Holy Qi and threw Zhuang Xuankong away.

Immediately after this, Zhang Ruochen was seen walking out of the pit pace by pace, carrying the bloody sword with him.

The martial soul floating over Zhang Ruochen’s head gave out bright divine lights. At its center, an extremely thick Rule was slowly formed.

There used to be an extremely thick Rule in his martial soul, which connected the head and the feet like a tall column. It was an Ancient Way called Spatial Rule.

The new formed rule was as thick as Spatial Rule. Apparently it was another Ancient Way, Time Rule.

With the help of Divine Fire Jingmie and dragon marble, together with the stimulation from the shadow of the Empress, Zhang Ruochen understood the truth of time and cultivated Time Rule in one swoop.

Now the number of Rules of Saintly Way in the martial soul of Zhang Ruochen had reached 300.

Zhang Ruochen raised his head and glared at the shadow of the Empress. He gave a sharp look full of hatred and anger. “Now that I’ve comprehended Time Rule, it’s time for me to become a Half-Saint.”

A drop of Dragon King’s Blood appeared on his palm, and was quickly taken by him.

Boom!

Dragon King’s Blood exploded inside his belly like a bomb and released enormous Holy Qi, which rushed to his five saintly meridians and 36 veins.

The Qi of Zhang Ruochen accumulated quickly. Every minute it increased largely.

“The power of Zhang Ruochen is building up. He should soon break through the state, ” Feng Qin said gravely.

“Since he wants to reach the state of Half-Saint, we should suppress him the minute before he makes it.”

Jian Kongzi put on a cold face and put his Holy Qi continuously into the Killing Token.

The shadow of the Empress gave another hit. A handprint pressed hard on Zhang Ruochen.

The giant palm was like a white cloud wrapping up the space between heaven and earth, leaving no space for Zhang Ruochen to run away.

At the moment, Mark of Gods flew out from the lower abdomen of Zhang Ruochen again.

But this time, Mark of Gods rushed to his martial soul instead and grew together with it. With each mark blending in, the martial soul of Zhang Ruochen became much more powerful.

After his martial soul finished blending with Mark of Gods, it made an utter change and turned into a saint soul.

The process of a martial soul becoming a saint soul was the process of a Fish-Dragon becoming a Half-Saint.

It might be extremely hard for others to reach the state of Half-Saint, but since Zhang Ruochen had prepared well for it, naturally he made it.

Now Zhang Ruochen had reached the First Level of Half-Saint.

His breakthrough of state had gathered all Spiritual Qi to him, which later entered the Sacred Mark between his eyebrows. A giant whirlpool of Spiritual Qi was formed, with his body at its center.

The minute Spiritual Qi entered his body, it transferred into Holy Qi instantly.

It was still Holy Qi that flew in the veins of a Half-Saint, but it became more condensed and cleansed.

A Fish-Dragon Realm monk could condense ten lines of Holy Qi after he had absorbed Spiritual Power in the area of more than 300 meters in diameter, while a Half-Saint could only condense one.

Although it was harder for a Half-Saint to absorb Holy Qi, it would burst out more power when it was transferred.

The same martial arts played by a Half-Saint would generate power ten times more than that of a Fish-Dragon Realm monk.

Consequently, Spiritual Qi could hardly satisfy the need of a Half-Saint. So they would try everything to find more saint rocks to take Holy Qi, and recover themselves.

The handprint of the Empress had landed from the sky and appeared on top of Zhang Ruochen’s head.

Bright lights gushed out from both his eyes. Zhang Ruochen transferred all Spiritual Qi from the area of more than hundreds of kilometers in diameter and put it all into the Taotian Sword constantly.

“Chi Yao, I know you can hear my voice. Listen to this: one day, I will come to the Imperial Palace and slay you.”

Zhang Ruochen shouted as he rose above the ground.

The brilliance of the Taotian Sword blended with his body and they became a Human Sword. The powerful step of Zhang Ruochen had forced the ground to cave in.

Many thought that Zhang Ruochen would run away. No one should expect that not only did he stay to fight the shadow of the Empress, but also called the Empress’s name and claimed he would slay her.

Even the Death Zen Elder or the Demonic Sect Founder wouldn’t dare to say something bold like that.

“Since he has reached the state of Half-Saint, he should run away, find a place and recover himself. After fully recovered, he would become powerful enough to get everything he wants. Why should he struggle with the Empress?”

“With his words today, Zhang Ruochen has offended the Empress completely. Even if the Empress wouldn’t do it by herself, those people in the imperial government would hunt him down or try to kill him at any cost to please the Empress.”

“What a reckless person! Reckless!”

More inscriptions appeared inside the Taotian Sword.

Terrible Destruction of the Thousand-patterns burst out and crashed with the handprint of the Empress’s shadow. Then it ripped the shadow and penetrated it.

Zhang Ruochen had gone through the handprint, and kept rising higher and higher until he arrived at the top of Empress’s head. Then he wielded his sword.

Zoom!

The bright sword light gave out a more than one kilometer long arc, and chopped off the head of the shadow of the Empress from her neck.

Immediately after, the shadow of the Empress collapsed with a deafening noise.

Meanwhile, except Jian Kongzi, the other three powerful figures beneath the shadow, Feng Qin, Queen Yin Eagle and Zhuang Xuankong, all spit mouthfuls of blood and half kneeled on the ground.
