Chapter 1901: Nine Eyes All Opened
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Nine-eye Heavenly Lord’s expression was gloomy, all of the nine eyes on his body had opened, all staring at Zhang Ruochen, causing goosebumps to form.
Boom!
A surge of Saint Path Precepts rushed out from the Nine-eye Heavenly Lord’s body, and densely covering the sky as a terrifying aura spread across in all directions. Those with a weaker cultivation base could not help but be compelled to kneel and worship him.
“Path’s Anterior.”
Zhang Ruochen’s expression changed a little, and the look in his eyes became much grimmer.
He could tell that the Nine-eye Heavenly Lord was breaking through his cultivation base and truly enter the realm of Path’s Anterior.
A Supreme Saint was the king among Saint Kings. Upon reaching the realm of Path’s Anterior, one could be called a quasi-Supreme Saint, and the aura it exuded was indeed not something ordinary persons could withstand.
There was no doubt that the Nine-eye Heavenly Lord had already reached the peak of Heaven’s Reach realm, and was just a step away from Path’s Anterior realm.
Under extreme pressure, he had finally passed the step successfully.
Speaking of which, it was Zhang Ruochen who had helped him.
At this point, he was no longer an elite comparable to a Path’s Anterior’s powerhouse but a bona fide powerhouse of the Path’s Anterior realm, and his combat power was by no means comparable to the ordinary Path’s Anterior elites.
When he opened his mouth and inhaled, the blood Qi of the bodies of the dead on the ground of the Black Wilderness all converged toward him, forming a whirlwind that was sucked into his abdomen.
With him at the center, a devastating blood Qi revolved into a massive vortex, exuding power that could destroy heaven and earth. The Black Wilderness was rent asunder as if the end was nigh.
“Retreat.”
Knowing that it was imprisoned to stop the Nine-eye Heavenly Lord, Zhang Ruochen asked everyone to fall back.
Once sucked into the blood vortex, even a Saint King would be drained dry of blood in an instant, becoming a tonic for the Nine-eye Heavenly Lord to break through his cultivation.
“Dimensional Collapse.”
Zhang Ruochen unleashed a secret space technique.
Boom!
The space in the area he pointed at suddenly collapsed, but before it could expand, it was smothered by the blood vortex and disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this, Zhang Ruochen frowned. The power of the Nine-eye Heavenly Lord was far stronger than he had anticipated.
Moreover, this person was extremely ruthless. After not getting enough essence, not only did he struck at the cultivators of the Zhenyu Clan, he did not even let the warriors on his side go as well.
Holding his hands out, the Azuresky Pagoda appeared, and a large number of inscriptions rapidly appeared on its surface, unleashing an energy signature that was getting more and more powerful.
With a clash, a layer of cyan halo rushed out and bombarded the blood vortex head-on.
This was the Supreme power, and no matter how devastating the power the blood vortex had gathered, it could not withstand the power and was torn apart.
Immediately after, the cyan halo crashed onto the body of the Nine-eye Heavenly Lord.
Even if the Supreme power had been weakened, the impact onto the Nine-eye Heavenly Lord was still considerable. Many cracks appeared on the Hundred-Saint Blood Armor on his body, and it was close to shattering.
Immediately afterward, the Azuresky Pagoda unleashed streams of Supreme power and targeted both the Nine-eye Heavenly Lord and also the Immortal Vampire army at the same time.
“Damn it!” The Nine-eye Heavenly Lord roared, almost driven to madness.
When he broke through his cultivation base, Zhang Ruochen dared to hinder him, that absolute cur.
However, the power of a Supreme Sacred Artifact was really devastating, and its power was not something he could withstand.
If he was just an ordinary Path’s Anterior powerhouse, that blow, even if it did not kill him, he would have been horribly maimed.
The damage suffered by the Immortal Vampire army was even heavier, everyone within a hundred miles of it was instantly reduced to blood mists, and Saint Kings were no exception.
Back then, Heavenly King Lingxiao had used the Azuresky Pagoda to cause heavy losses to the old cadre of the Shengming Empire, and almost crushed the entire city. The power of a Supreme Sacred Artifact was not just tales.
“You think that you can deal with me with just a Supreme Sacred Artifact? I will let you know now, the consequences of angering me.” The Nine-eye Heavenly Lord opened his flesh wings and kicked up a terrifying storm.
A blood beam shot out from the center of his brow and transformed into an ancient mirror.
A series of inscription patterns appeared on the ancient mirror, and a bloody halo poured out, forming terrifying ripples, and many small cracks appearing in the space.
Incredibly, the bloody halo unleashed by the ancient mirror actually resisted the attack of the Azuresky Pagoda.
“A Supreme Sacred Artifact.”
A glint flashed past Zhang Ruochen’s eyes and immediately saw through the identity of the ancient mirror.
Without a doubt, it was a Supreme Sacred Artifact, and for the Nine-eye Heavenly Lord to have a Supreme Sacred Artifact was really beyond his expectations.
Looking at the ancient mirror, he soon discovered that there were many cracks on the mirror surface, and there was a spot with a missing piece.
It was clear that the ancient mirror was damaged and was not a perfect Supreme Sacred Artifact.
Of course, even if it was an incomplete Supreme Sacred Artifact, the power it could unleash was similarly terrifying, especially in the hands of a cultivator beneath a Supreme Saint, the difference was insignificant.
After all, unless one was a Supreme Saint or a God, it was impossible to fully draw out the power of a Supreme Sacred Artifact.
“Fall back!”
Zhang Ruochen immediately ordered everyone on his side to pull back.
When the Supreme Sacred Artifact collides, the impact could destroy the world, and in that situation, he would not be able to take care of anyone else.
“Too late.”
The eyes of the Nine-eye Heavenly Lord was cold, as he roused the ancient mirror with all his might.
All nine of his eyes opened as a terrifying light burst out of them and converged upon the ancient mirror.
The next moment, ninety rays of light blasted out from the ancient mirror, and its power was no different than the first ninety rays.
The Nine-eye Heavenly Lord was born with nine-eyes. These eyes were no mere decorations but held various terrible powers.
Normally, he only kept two eyes open while the rest are closed. Once all opened, it meant that he was furious and no longer had any reservations.
“Dimensional Rift.”
Zhang Ruochen repeatedly unleashed his secret space techniques, creating a large number of dimensional rifts in a larger area.
At the same time, he put forward the Azuresky Pagoda and did his best to rouse the Supreme power out of it.
Boom!
The Azuresky Pagoda transformed into a blue mountain, blocking most of the light.
Part of the light was swallowed by the cracks in the space, but there were still a few rays of light that were missed, and they bombarded the ancient cultivators in the prison.
“Pah, don’t think I’ll let you do as you please.”
Awesome, the Little Taoist shouted and quickly deployed the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror.
Relatively speaking, the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror was more incomplete than the ancient mirror of the Nine-eye Heavenly Lord, but in the hands of Awesome, the Little Taoist, it could still unleash an astonishing surge of Supreme power.
After secluding itself for refinement, Awesome, the Little Taoist had broken through the realm of the Greater Precept World and could better control the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror.
Sikong the Elder and Sikong the Younger both also made a move as they combined to blast out a Black-White Chaotic Strike, and actually managed to withstand one ray of light.
On the other side, Ji Fanxin struck, as her fingers, white as jade, tapped at the sky.
“Watermoon Sky Mirror.”
A surge of Saint Path Precepts intertwined and fused with her Saint Qi, forming a white holy mirror that looked like a round moon with a diameter stretching tens of feet.
The holy mirror’s light curtain may only look like a thin layer, but its defensive power was extremely powerful.
Boom!
The remaining two rays of light both bombarded the light curtain of the holy mirror.
Cracks appeared on the light curtain, and it soon shattered, but the bombarding rays of light too were annihilated in the process, the light curtain of the holy mirror exhausting the entirety of its power.
Seeing this, the Zhenyu Clansmen all heaved a sigh of relief, and the threat was finally temporarily lifted.
The threat was only temporarily lifted because the Nine-eye Heavenly Lord was still there, and no one knew what other terrifying techniques he would be using.
Without any hesitations, the cultivators of the Zhenyu Clan quickly retreated to make way for Zhang Ruochen to fight with the Nine-eye Heavenly Lord.
The ancient mirror hung above the head of the Nine-eye Heavenly Lord, and countless rays of blood light gathered and formed a vertical eye on the surface of the mirror.
The next moment, another giant eye appeared in the skies above the Zhenyu Clan as if a god was overlooking the mortal realms.
The Black Wilderness was instantly dyed blood red, and a strange power permeated over it, making it extremely gloomy.
“Aargh!!!”
A cultivator of the Zhenyu yelled, his face contorted as he suddenly struck at the people around him.
The condition then spread like a plague.
In a moment, the Zhenyu Clan was thrown into disarray.
“What a bizarre ability, it can actually muddle one’s thoughts, and the area of effect is so wide.”
Zhang Ruochen’s expression changed drastically, as even he was faintly affected.
This sort of ability was just too powerful, and anyone with slightly weaker minds would not be able to resist and, and would fall under control.
The Nine-eye Heavenly Lord’s natural ability was already extremely powerful, and it was even more terrifying when it was boosted by the ancient mirror.
With this ability, it was not difficult for the Nine-eye Heavenly Lord to fight against ten thousand alone.
“I need to stop him. Break!”
With a wave of his hand, Zhang Ruochen pulled out the Azuresky Bow and the Whitesun Arrow as he loosed an arrow with all his strength.
The Azuresky Bow and Whitesun Arrows were treasures of the Kunlun realm’s Immortal Vampire’s Qingtian tribe. Both items were all sacred artifacts of the Tenth Radiance.
In the hands of a truly powerful person, it could be used to kill a Supreme Saint.
Whooosh!
The Whitesun Arrow shot out in an unimaginable speed, as it flew out locked onto the Nine-eye Heavenly Lord.
The blood Qi outside the Nine-eye Heavenly Lord roused and quickly formed a shield to protect himself.
Bam!
The shield shattered and was unable to withstand the Whitesun Arrow.
But in breaking the shield apart, the power of the Whitesun Arrow was mostly consumed. With the protection of the Hundred-Saint Blood Armor, the Nine-eye Heavenly Lord was unharmed.
Seeing the Whitesun Arrow struck the Nine-eye Heavenly Lord, the corner of Zhang Ruochen’s mouth suddenly rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.
“Tarnation.”
The expression of the Nine-eye Heavenly Lord changed drastically as he finally realized Zhang Ruochen’s true goal.
There was a Mark of Time on the Whitesun Arrow that could slash someone’s lifespan.
When the arrow hit the Nine-eye Heavenly Lord, a Mark of Time fell onto the Nine-eye Heavenly Lord’s body.
A sudden sense of weakness appeared and spread across his body, causing the Nine-eye Heavenly Lord to tremble and sweat.
In such a situation, it was difficult to control the ancient mirror anymore, and the giant demonic eye in the sky disappeared as the strange power dissipated without a trace.
Taking the opportunity, Zhang Ruochen activated the Azuresky Pagoda and sent it crashing toward the Nine-eye Heavenly Lord.
If he was hit by the Azuresky Pagoda head-on, no matter how powerful the Nine-eye Heavenly Lord was, it would still hurt, and even if he did not die he would be wounded.
Once a powerful foe like the Nine-eye Heavenly Lord was taken out now, the following battles would become much easier.
Boom!
A massive cross that was hundreds of feet long suddenly appeared out of thin air and collided with the Azuresky Pagoda.
The Azuresky Pagoda flew back and failed to slam against the Nine-eye Heavenly Lord as expected.
The cross stabbed onto the broken ground and painted the area thousands of miles blood red.
A series of divine patterns flowed on the cross, and one could vaguely see a god being crucified on it. The god’s blood continued to flow, and it looked extremely dreadful.
