Chapter 1157: Hierarch
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
“The hierarch of Blood God Sect sent Nether Heavenly Palace to guard the endless abyss because he wants to suppress the blood beasts to prevent them from escaping Ancient Snow Mountain and getting into the territory of Blood God Sect. Why is the hierarch of Blood God Sect riding a blood beast?”
Zhang Ruochen was confused.
Zhang Ruochen had wondered where blood beasts came from for a long time.
The banner kings from Nether Heavenly Palace said that after Blood Emperss was killed by Emperor Ming during the fight, her blood was spilled on the first level of the endless abyss. Some of the savage beasts absorbed the ferocious bloody Qi, and then they turned into ferocious beasts with the strong blood lust.
Zhang Ruochen suspected that it might have something to do with the hierarch of Blood God Sect.
What happened?
The hierarch from Blood God Sect was wearing a huge black rope, standing on the back of the dragon blood beast. Even though the ruls of sky and land suppressed his cultivation, the forces coming from the hierarch of Blood God Sect was still awing.
He was one of the top overlords in Kunlun’s Field. Everyone respected him.
“Ao!”
Dragon Blood Beast looked up and roared again.
The roaring sound shook the air around it, paining the heads of Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen. They felt that their eardrums were about to explode.
The hierarch of Blood God Sect stared at the transport formation on the ground, and he looked suspicious. He didn’t expect that there was a formation on the first level.
“Space transport formation?”
The hierarch of Blood God Sect hadn’t studied the time and sapce himself, but he was the hierarch of a sect after all. His experience and knowledges were incomparable, which was why he could recognize the space transport formation.
He somehow figured out what happened. He looked to Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen, “Who are you? Where do you come from?”
These two random words already created great pressure for Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen. They felt like being pressed by a mountain. They couldn’t breath, and their mind and saintly souls were being intimidated.
Other half saints would have been completely crushed already.
Everyone would be scared by someone like the hierarch of Blood God Sect. Zhang Ruochen had to control the fear inside him so that he didn’t panic.
He was thinking rapidly of a way to survive this.
The hierarch of Blood God Sect was one of the most top-tier saints, if not already a saint king.
Even Ghost King Bloodmoon wasn’t in his class. If he asked Ghost King Bloodmoon for help, he would expose Universe Spiritual Map, which might accelerate his demise.
He could only rely upon himself to get away.
Zhang Ruochen slowly stood up and looked into the eyes of the hierarch of Blood God Sect. He said, “Who are you?”
The hierarch of Blood God Sect was a bit surprised to see a level-nine half saint stand up under his pressure.
But again, now matter how powerful a level-nine half saint was, it was nothing compared to him. The hierarch could kill him with a finger.
The only thing keeping Zhang Ruochen alive was the questions the hierarch of Blood God Sect had.
“You don’t have any right to ask me anything. If you answer my question honestly, I might give you a quick death.” The hierarch of Blood God Sect said calmly.
Zhang Ruochen said, “What if I don’t tell you?”
The hierarch of Blood God Sect chuckled as he found Zhang Ruochen very immature. He said, “If you refuse to answer me, I’ll have to seize your memories now.”
The hierarch of Blood God Sect stopped talking. He reached his hands out of the black rope.
“Hua.”
Blood Qi whirlpool was condensed on his palm, forming destruction Qi that was quickly spinning, racing toward Zhang Ruochen.
Something was not right.
The hierarch of Blood God Sect wasn’t as powerful as what Zhang Ruochen thought.
What happened?
Zhang Ruochen didn’t have time to overthink. He mobilized all the power in his body, and the power gathered in the arms.
All the one hundred and thirty-two apertures on his body emerged, and the sound of dragons and elephants was transmitted from his arms, giving out gleaming light. He pushed his palms forward, clashing with the Bloody Qi whirlpool.
“Hong Long.”
Zhang Ruochen stepped ten feet back, making three deep footprints before balancing himself again.
Zhang Ruochen was surprised that he could ward off the attacks from Blood God Sect without being injured.
The hierarch of Blood God Sect was also surprised. He said, “What an impressive youngster. You might become a saint soon.”
Zhang Ruochen was more confident as he could ward off the attacks from the hierarch of Blood God Sect. He said, “This body of yoors isn’t a real one. It’s only a saint soul stunt double of yours.”
However, even a saint soul stunt double could crush Zhang Ruochen easily.
However, the rules of sky and land in the abyss were different from those in Kunlun’s Field as they could greaty reduce the cultivation of monks.
As long as a monk had great enough constitution, he or she coould defeat those who were at a higher level.
Which was why a saint soul stunt double of the hierarch of Blood God Sect wasn’t able to suppress Zhang Ruochen.
“Impressive. You can tell that this is only my stunt double.” The hierarch of Blood God Sect smiled.
“Not only can I tell that this is your saint soul stunt double, but I’ve already figured that your original body is already a saint king. You’re definitely a great power to be reckoned with in Kunlun’s Field.” Zhang Ruochen said.
“You’ve already known who I am?”
The hierarch of Blood God Sect suddeny became extremely aggressive.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Why are you so tense. Actually, we can have a nice chat. You have questions about me, and I have questions about you too. Why can’t we just be nice to each other and answer each other’s questions.”
“Do you really think you’re qualified to ask me questions?”
The hierarch of Blood God Sect found it amusing. He was the hierarch of an ancient sect. Even saints needed to tiptop in front of him, yet he could suppress a half saint today.
“Don’t overestimate yourself, boy. Even though I’m only a saint soul stunt double, it’s easy for me to take you down. I don’t even need to do it myself.”
The hierarch of Blood God Sect didn’t want to talk to Zhang Ruochen anymore. He said to the dragon blood beast beside him, “Take him. Remember to keep him alive.”
The blood-red eyes of the dragon blood beast glinted with bloodlust, coldness and cruelty. It grabbed toward Zhang Ruochen with its sharp claws that were fifty feet long.
It reeked of blood. Obviously, it had swallowed many creatures.
The dragon was a mid-tier level-seven savage beast, which was as powerful as an upper-class saint.
And now, it had turned into a blood beast and swallowed lots of bloody Qi, which further improved its power.
Besides, it had great constitution, which gave it a huge advantage in the endless abyss. Even upper-class saints couldn’t ward off its attack.
Zhang Ruochen was stunned. He performed spatial movement and dodged the attack from Dragon Blood Beast. He stood close to a stone wall on high alert.
“Power of the space.”
The hierarch of Blood God Sect noticed the small ripples in the air. He asked, “Are you that descendant of time and space? I’ve been looking for you for a long time, but I didn’t expect you to come to me.”
The hiararch of Blood God Sect was certain that he could keep Zhang Ruochen, so he stopped hiding his identity.
Zhang Ruochen noticed that the hirarch wasn’t as vigilant as before, so he wanted to seize the chance to get some secrets out of him.
Zhang Ruochen pretended that he didn’t know the hierarch’s real identity and said, “Hierarch? Which sect are you from? Where is this place?”
The hierarch of Blood God Sect was still cautious. Instead of answering Zhang Ruochen’s questions directly, he said, “Why are you asking so many questions? You’re Zhang Ruochen, aren’t you? Give me your Taotian Sword!”
The hierarch of Blood God Sect was in a high status. Even saints would greet him with absolute respect when they saw him. Though he was shrewd and ruthless, he didn’t even consider a half saint any threat. He had exposed his motivation.
“He wants my Taotian Sword. Interesting.” Zhang Ruochen thought.
Everyone knew that Zhang Ruochen obtained lots of valuables, including saintly source liquids, World Spirit, heir stamps and and sariras of Buddha Emperor. They were more valuable than Taotian Sword.
Why didn’t the hierarch of Blood God Sect want Taotian Sword instead?
There was only one explanation, which was Taotian Sword was more important than everything else to the hierarch of Blood God Sect.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “Are you an immortal vampire?”
The hierarch of Blood God Sect realized that he mispoke, so he stopped talking to Zhang Ruochen. He gave an order to the dragon blood beast again.
Zhang Ruochen knew that he wasn’t a match of the dragon blood beast, so he took out Universe Spiritual Map and let Ghost King Bloodmoon out.
Ghost King Bloodmoon didn’t ask for anything from Zhang Ruochen. She immediately attacked the dragon blood beast.
Her smooth hand formed a giant hand print, hitting the belly of the dragon blood beast, knocking the giant body of the dragon blood beast away.
The dragon blood beast roared and flew up, flapping its giant wings and charged Ghost King Bloodmoon.
“A dragon is powerful enough to ward off my attack and able to fight back.”
Ghost King Bloodmoon found it unbelievable Her eyes gleamed, and the bloodmoon print between her eyebrows glinted with red light. A ligth pillar was shot out.
“Pu Chi.”
The blood-red pillar penetrated the left wing of the dragon blood beast, leaving a bloody hole.
And then, Ghost King Bloodmoon turned into a ghost shadow and flew to above the dragon blood beast. She pressed her palm again, and the cold waves gushed out of her hand.
“Pa!”
The head of the dragon blood beast cracked. A bloody wound that was more than twenty feet long extended from the top of its head to its eyes.
The dragon blood beast screamed in agony, shaking its body and trying to use it tail to splash Ghost King Bloodmoon.
