Chapter 1718: Cihang and Zhen Yuan
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Worlds like the Kunlun’s Field that survived through the millenniums could form a “force” that could restrain a god. It could press over the god so that he couldn’t move.
The Universe World was far weaker than the Kunlun’s Field, but it was more than enough to restrain a ninth step Saint King’s soul.
Under the Universe World, Amber Ash’s soul was about to get crushed to bits.
“Who…are you… Why do you have…a world inside of you…” Amber Ash’s voice came from under the Universe World. He sounded very indignant.
One of Zhang Ruochen’s souls appeared in the Sea of Qi. “You don’t even know who I am and you came to steal my body. I don’t know if you’re stupid or too confident in your own abilities.”
Amber Ash was furious. Before, no one would ever dare to speak to him like this.
If he was at his peak, a mere fourth step Saint King would be a minor figure that he wouldn’t even glance at.
Zhang Ruochen flooded Divine Fire Jingmie at Amber Ash. He stopped caring about Amber Ash’s voice and prepared to try his best to escape from this place.
The ground before him was shattered by the Planet Destruction Saint Rune. It was like the end of the world.
However, Shang Ziyan’s group had clearly brought a great treasure here to seal off the land. The Planet Destruction Saint Rune only destroyed a few dozen miles. The land further away was unharmed.
The Thousand Star Maiden really is filled with treasures. Any random scroll could be so destructive. If I used it more logically, I might’ve been able to severely injure Gong Ziyan and the others or even kill them. Zhang Ruochen felt regret.
A mysterious beam of power exploded from all over.
In the east, a beautiful woman radiating Yin Qi stood at the horizon with a red bead in her hand. The bead’s light was like a rising sun. It was red and released strong Spiritual Power pulses.
In the south, Shang Ziyan held the five-colored merits stele the size of a mountain. He walked over like a god in the mortal world.
In the west, Xun Ya, leader of the Divine Blood War Palace, held a heavy sword. Sword Qi flew around him in the air.
In the north, a handsome man with four white wings stood quietly with a First and Second Death Emissary. The murderous Qi radiating from him formed a blood-red cloud.
The power coming from all four directions grew stronger. Each one was able to upend the world and Zhang Ruochen couldn’t fight them now. In addition, the sky and land were sealed by strong spatial power. Clearly, Gong Ziyan was working in the shadows.
Zhang Ruochen’s wasn’t intimidated by this. “Shang Ziyan,” he said calmly. “This time, you finally decided to fight personally! How come you invited so many strong figures here? Are you so unconfident in yourself? You don’t think you can defeat me by yourself?”
Shang Ziyan chuckled. “To be honest, you’re the only person that I’m quite impressed by. You could survive until now with your own strength and without any support. If I was in your position, I probably would’ve died long ago.”
Shang Ziyan had a big background in the Heaven Field and was the leader of the Merits Godly Palace. There were many cultivators who wished to be his friend. He had more connections and powers than Supreme Saints from weaker worlds.
But very, very few people dared to befriend Zhang Ruochen and help him.
“With my abilities, there’s a 90% chance that I can kill you by myself,” Shang Ziyan. “But this time, I want to be 100% sure, so I invited some friends here.”
“There’s nothing 100% certain in the world.”
Zhang Ruochen thought about how to escape while talking to Shang Ziyan.
The Traceless Fairy sent a message to Shang Ziyan. “I lost connection to Amber Ash. He may have been suppressed by Zhang Ruochen.”
“How is that possible?” Shang Ziyan’s expression turned serious.
Could Zhang Ruochen have more trump cards?
What kind of card could suppress Amber Ash’s saint soul? This was impossible!
“Be careful,” the Traceless Fairy said. “Zhang Ruochen is more troublesome than we thought.”
Actually, they didn’t know that Zhang Ruochen was feeling hopeless now. He even thought that he might die here today. However, his battle intent didn’t disappear. Even if he died, he would make them follow him.
The Traceless Fairy pointed at the red bead. Ghostly fog seeped out, making the east of Zhang Ruochen completely dark. It was like mist was surging.
Hundreds of soul projections floated in the mist. There were humans, dragons, birds, elephants… Each soul image was extremely powerful and vicious.
Zhang Ruochen took out the Emperor Yi Bone Staff. The Buddha’s sharira at the top of the staff shone with golden light, purifying the incoming Ghost Qi.
But what unsettled him was that the hundreds of souls weren’t afraid of the sharira at all. It was evident that they’d all been very powerful in life.
This woman must be the Traceless Fairy, leader of the Soul Field. I can’t take on her even when she’s by herself. Zhang Ruochen furrowed his brows tightly. He prepared to burn his blood to fight to the death.
Just then, a brighter Buddhist light came from the east side.
Sanskrit chanting arose. The sound was boundless as if thousands of monks were chanting.
The Traceless Fairy, Shang Ziyan, Xun Ya and Liancheng Baili’s eyes all hardened. They looked eastward at the same time.
“She’s here. The Buddhists are finally getting involved.” The Traceless Fairy’s brows furrowed lightly.
All along, the Traceless Fairy only had one competitor.
She’d met this competitor one year ago on the way to the Truth Heavenly Domain. She was held up and couldn’t hurry over, thus allowing Zhang Ruochen to reach such a troublesome level.
Later, she and Shang Ziyan had analyzed this. They thought that the other had purposely stopped her so Zhang Ruochen would have time to improve.
After all, Saint Monk Xumi had helped the Buddha Way before and they had a deep relationship.
A pretty girl in Buddhist clothing and holding a jade bottle walked out of the horizon, stepping on layers of Buddhist light.
She seemed to be around 17 or 18 years old and had a red dot on her forehead. She was just as pretty as the Traceless Fairy, but she gave off a sacred and pure feeling.
“It really is her, Fairy Cihang,” the Traceless Fairy said.
Fairy Cihang was also part of the Nine Angels Beauty Scroll. Her Buddhist techniques were incredible and could always restrict the Traceless Fairy. She was the Traceless Fairy’s top enemy.
Fairy Cihang picked up a willow branch from the bottle and waved it in the air.
Specks of golden water flew out. They transformed into hundreds of Buddhist shadows. They flooded into the ghostly mist and purified all of the hundreds of evil souls.
The Traceless Fairy’s eyes grew cold. Cold Qi turned the ground under her feet into ice.
“Amitabha!”
Fairy Cihang’s eyes were as deep as pools of water. Her voice was lovely and gave off a serene feeling. “You’re killing in the Truth Heavenly Domain. Are you not afraid of being punished?”
Shang Ziyan’s expression was grave. Fairy Cihang’s appearance caught him by surprise.
Since Fairy Cihang could find this place and break in, then could she have already notified the godly disciples of the Truth Heavenly Palace? If they really came, then the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, Shang Ziyan didn’t want to miss the best chance to kill Zhang Ruochen, so he was conflicted.
Suddenly, a voice sounded in the air. “Limitless Sovereign.”
A beam of white light tore apart the red sky.
Then a young man in Taoist robes descended from the sky. A huge Bagua print appeared automatically under his feet. The ground’s structure seemed to have changed after he arrived.
“Zhen Yuan.” Shang Ziyan’s eyes narrowed.
Holding a whisk, Zhen Yuan smiled. “Brother Ziyan, you have crossed the line. Do you really think that the Truth Heavenly Domain won’t get involved?”
Zhang Ruochen had a confused expression. He watched Zhen Yuan and Fairy Cihang quietly. Why did these two powerful figures from the Taoism and Buddha Way come?
Are they here to save me? But I don’t seem to have anything to do with the Taoism and Buddha Way. I don’t know them either. Zhang Ruochen didn’t act impatiently. He continued to watch.
The forces of the Heaven World seemed to have more complicated relationships than he’d thought.
When Zhen Yuan arrived, Shang Ziyan realized that today wouldn’t be successful. Thus, he sent messages to the Traceless Fairy, Xun Ya, Liancheng Baili, and Gong Ziyan to retreat immediately.
But just as they prepared to leave, another powerful beam of saintly might broke apart the red sky.
Feng Xi appeared in the sky. “You broke the rules of the Truth Heavenly Domain and you want to leave just like this?” she said loudly. “All of you come to the Truth Godly Palace with me and await your trial.”
Liancheng Baili scoffed coldly. “There are so many people who aren’t afraid of dying. Do you really think being a godly disciple makes you almighty? Even a god will die if they offend the Heavenly Assassination Organization. What are you all waiting for? Let’s attack together and kill our way out.”
He unsheathed his sword. Sword Xuangang transformed into a beam of light and shot into the heavens.
Bounding saintly might burst out. With an undefeatable aura, he charged at Feng Xi, preparing to kill the godly disciple and then escape.
Zhang Ruochen sighed. So powerful. No wonder he’s the master of the First and Second Death Emissary. Judging by how strong the Killer Heavenly Kings are, it’s probably hard for him to find a match below the Supreme Saint Realm.
Zhang Ruochen grew worried for Feng Xi. He couldn’t help in a battle like this at all.
Feng Xi didn’t attack or even manipulate her Holy Qi. She just shook her head.
While Liancheng Baili was confused, a huge handprint moved past the bloody sky and fell upon him. It crushed him to the ground like slapping a fly.
Kaboom!
A handprint ditch that was hundreds of meters long appeared on the ground.
Liancheng Baili was sprawled on the bottom, his body completely bloody. He couldn’t stand up.
