Chapter 2488: The White-Haired Qianmo
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yuan Benji had achieved Banshi Isshou Realm in cultivation, and he had survived thousands of battles. Although Yuan Benji hadn’t expected Zhang Ruochen to make a decisive move, he was surprised for a moment. But soon, he was overjoyed.
He had been worried that he wouldn’t have a chance to teach Zhang Ruochen a lesson, but he hadn’t expected him to come to him.
Before finding the Seven-Armed Elder and the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin, Yuan Benji couldn’t kill Zhang Ruochen. Still, he could teach Zhang Ruochen a lesson and even cripple his cultivation.
Crippling a Yuanhui-level genius was enough to make him famous in the Infernal Court and even leave his name in the history books.
Moreover, it was also to avenge his elder brother and save the face of the Yuan family.
“It was you, Zhang Ruochen, who took the initiative to attack. Then, even if I am crippled, the Xue Jue family won’t have the face to trouble me. Hehe!”
Thousands of thoughts flashed through Yuan Benji’s mind. Then he let out a long howl. “Since you want to kill me, Zhang Ruochen, I will fight you to the death today.”
Hearing this, Luo Shengtian was so angry that he trembled again. He felt that Yuan Benji was shameless to the extreme.
A Supreme Saint in the Banshi Isshou Realm fought with a Supreme Saint in the Hundred-Shackle Realm, yet he shouted, “Fight to the death with you.”
‘What was he trying to do?’
‘Was he trying to take the opportunity to kill Zhang Ruochen?’
“Don’t Worry, Your Highness. If Yuan Benji dares to kill the prince consort, I’ll intercept and save him.” Yan Hanyi transmitted his voice to Luo Shengtian.
Luo Shengtian was very angry. He was not only mad at Yuan Benji but also at Zhang Ruochen.
‘I am already in the Thousand-Koan Realm, yet I still have to endure the anger in my heart. You are a Hundred-Shackle Realm Supreme Saint, yet you are so reckless to attack Yuan Benji. Aren’t you asking for trouble?’
“What else can I do? He has already attacked. I can only…”
Before Luo Shengtian could finish his words, there was splattered blood on the stargazing platform. With an ear-piercing scream, Yuan Benji was sent flying.
BANG!
Yuan Benji fell to the ground and covered his bleeding lower body with both hands. His entire body was twitching. It was evident that the pain was so great that even a Supreme Saint could not stand up.
Apart from a few Supreme Saints who were aware of Blackie’s strength, the rest of the present cultivators retreated again.
Huo Xing, who had previously claimed that he would roast Blackie and eat him, was shocked. ‘This owl was actually so powerful and… very sinister.’
Yuan Benji was actually very cautious. He knew that although Zhang Ruochen was only in the Hundred-Shackle Realm, his combat strength was strong. Moreover, he had a Supreme Artifact in his hand, so he couldn’t be underestimated.
That was why he focused all his spiritual power on Zhang Ruochen and struck out a Thousand-Koan level saint technique print.
But who would have thought…
Who would have thought that the parrot-like owl, which he had ignored, could break his protective Precept Domain and Saint Armor with one claw?
‘What are you?’
‘If its cultivation is so high, why do you look like an idiot?’
Yuan Benji realized that this was a conspiracy, a conspiracy against him. The reason why the owl acted like an idiot was to numb him.
Zhang Ruochen activated the Supreme Artifact and launched an attack to distract him.
I was careless! I didn’t expect Zhang Ruochen to be more sinister and cunning than me.’
Yuan Benji gritted his teeth, and his eyes were extremely vicious.
Injuries were minor, but the humiliation was great. Yuan Benji had to get his face back.
Whoosh
The Death Qi between heaven and earth gathered toward his lower body. His injuries recovered quickly.
Yuan Benji stood up and summoned a silver trident. “Today’s humiliation is irreconcilable. If I don’t kill you two, what will I look like in the Infernal Court from now on?”
Hundreds of billions of Precepts surged from Yuan Benji’s body, condensing into a strange Precept Domain world.
In that world, the sky was dark and thousands of miles away. Towering stone pillars stood there, either in the form of gods or Buddhas, like lions roaring in the sky or giant swords growing on the ground.
Zhang Ruochen was pulled into his Precept Domain world. He held the Ugyen Cudgel and said, “I alone am enough to kill you.”
The opportunity to become famous was right in front of him. How could he miss it?
‘I could not let Zhang Ruochen steal the limelight!’
Blackie’s body immediately expanded ten times and turned into a giant owl. He said, “Let me do it! This man has insulted you too much. His crime is unforgivable. Go warm a pot of wine and watch me kill him with one claw.”
Blackie flew out with a swoosh and used his wings to cut through the layers of barriers in the Precept Domain.
He flew to the sky above his originally silent head. He spat out a mouthful of Eternal Fire from his mouth, scorching Yuan Benji.
The flame’s temperature was so high that it instantly burned through the Precept Domain world and spread to the star observation platform.
“Eternal Fire.”
Ye Manman’s expression changed. She took out a talisman from her sleeve and threw it out.
Dense runes flew out of the talisman and interwoven into an independent space to prevent the Eternal Flame from burning down the stargazing platform and even the entire House of Enchanteurs.
A few Supreme Saints also attacked. They released a Precept Domain to help Ye Manman.
“So it’s not an owl. It’s a Phoenix. And that Phoenix seems to have reached the Paramount Realm. Zhang Ruochen has such a powerful figure by his side. Is he the protector left for him by Wargod Bloodximius?” asked Ling.
Luo Shengtian was in a good mood. He activated his Divine Eye to see how Yuan Benji had been burned by the Eternal Flame?
BOOM!
A ghost cultivator in ancient armor turned into a black light column and descended from the sky onto the stargazing platform.
He held a two-meter-long broadsword in his hand. He split open the runes and rushed into the Eternal Flame. He carried Yuan Benji, who had been burned to half a body. To be exact, it carried a black human-shaped piece of charcoal.
“It’s not afraid of the Eternal Fire. Could it be a Nine-Tribulation Ghost Emperor?”
“It’s Yuan Qianmo’s eidolon.”
“That owl’s Eternal Fire is too terrifying. In just a breath’s time, Yuan Benji lost half of his life. He would have turned into ashes and lost all his vitality if it was any later.”
“Since the eidolon has appeared, Yuan Qianmo should have arrived by now!”
…
Blackie used its wings to cut through the space formed by the talisman and pounced on the eidolon and Yuan Benji. It roared, “Who dares to save the person I want to kill?”
The eidolon’s body was 3.6 meters tall. The broadsword in its hand slashed out like a door.
Five layers of regal inscriptions surged out of the sword, shooting a blinding sword light.
Blackie’s claws collided with the broadsword.
BOOM
The eidolon’s arm exploded, and the broadsword in its hand flew out.
Seeing that Blackie was about to crush its ghost body with one claw, its powerful claws were blocked by two slender fingers.
Yuan Qianmo stood beside the eidolon at some point in time. With one hand behind his back, he formed a sword finger with the other hand and hit the center of Blackie’s Claw. He murmured, “Go back.”
A circle of energy ripples gushed from his finger and Blackie’s claw.
Blackie flew back. When it landed on the ground, its body returned to its original size and staggered back a few steps. Only then did it regain its balance. The madness in its body was significantly reduced, and it looked at Yuan Qianmo with a highly solemn gaze.
“It’s him.”
Zhang Ruochen stared at Yuan Qianmo.
After the Battle of Celestial-Hunting, Xue Tu warned Zhang Ruochen to be careful of Yuan Qianmo. Therefore, Zhang Ruochen deliberately looked up his information. Naturally, he had a good understanding of the legendary master who ranked first on the Divine Ascension Ranking.
Yuan Qianmo had long, snow-white hair, but there was no sense of vicissitudes. On the contrary, he was cold and elegant. He was a man that could make all the women in the world fall in love with him.
After his appearance, all the female cultivators present were indeed attracted to him.
“The Phoenix of the nine deaths actually appeared in this era. It’s interesting. Unfortunately, it’s not as strong as the legends say.”
Yuan Qianmo said this indifferently. Then, he stretched out his spotless hand and pressed it toward Yuan Benji.
Immediately, the Eternal Flame that had invaded Yuan Benji was extracted entirely. It turned into a flame seed and appeared in Yuan Qianmo’s palm.
Yuan Qianmo drew his five fingers back. The Eternal Flame was extinguished with a whoosh.
On the ground, Yuan Benji, reduced to half a piece of charred charcoal, began to emit a thick aura of death. His body quickly recovered and returned to its human form.
The vitality of a Supreme Saint was just that strong.
A Supreme Saint in the Banshi Isshou Realm had even stronger vitality. As long as he was not completely dead, he could quickly reassemble his body.
Yuan Benji’s aura was fragile. He did not dare to raise his head to look at Yuan Qianmo.
“This is a Great Restoration Pill. Take it and consume it.”
Yuan Qianmo took out a jade box and handed it to Yuan Qianmo.
“Thank you, Qianmo.”
Yuan Benji quickly took the pill. This time, he misjudged his opponent. Not only did he suffer serious injuries, but his cultivation was also significantly damaged. Without a hundred years, he would not be able to recover to his pinnacle condition.
However, with this pill, he could recover very quickly.
The Supreme Saints present were all amazed and envious.
Even Zhang Ruochen was amazed, not to mention them, ‘I helped the Immortal Vampires win first place in the ten clans. I was only rewarded with a Great Restoration Pill. I’ve been reluctant to take it. Yuan Qianmo gave one away so casually. As expected of the top master below divinity. He has a deep foundation.”
The Great Restoration Pill was a Quasi-Emperor Grade healing pill. It couldn’t be bought with Godstones.
Blackie sent a voice transmission to Zhang Ruochen. “Be careful. This person is not to be trifled with.”
When Zhang Ruochen was examining Yuan Qianmo, Yuan Qianmo finally shifted his gaze from Blackie to him. “Forgive Benji as he was in the wrong first. No one is to be blamed for this disaster.”
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, “Finally, a sensible person.”
If it had been other shrewd cultivators, they would have pretended not to hear Yuan Benji’s words. They would not have made such a big fuss.
Zhang Ruochen had heard all kinds of insults, so he was calm. Of course, he did not take them to heart.
He had attacked because he did not want to appear subservient and make everyone feel guilty.
The more powerful he was, the more people would wonder if he had the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin?
The more confident he was, the more people would believe his words.
“I’ve been wronged. I’m a victim. The superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin isn’t with me. Whoever dares to slander me, I’ll fight to the death with him.” Zhang Ruochen had to send this message to everyone.
Yuan Qianmo looked around, “Since you and the Enchanteur Chamber have different opinions,” he said, “It means someone must have lied. The person who lied must know where the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin is. Then, ask Miss Bai to come out. I’m really looking forward to it. I also want to know who is so capable that he can manipulate everyone. This person must die!”
