God Emperor
chapter-1130

Zhang Ruochen was indeed very strong and had surpassed the top tier level, but no one believed that he could go against the entire Immortal Vampires Tribe.

Motian Crown Prince, Crown Prince Jingtian, and Yellow Sky Crown Princess were all top tier fighters. They weren’t any weaker than Crown Prince Qingtian. The three working together could counter someone above the top tier level.

The scepter stuck into the foot of the mountain shone brighter and brighter. It ripped up the earth even more.

“That is an ancient weapon from the Jingtian Tribe called the Inch Holy Staff. Apparently, Spiritual Power Saints can activate it with full power and change the geography, moving mountains and filling seas.”

“Crown Prince Jingtian is a talent in Spiritual Power. He’s getting infinitely close to level 50 and also has the Inch Holy Staff’s help. He can unleash power stronger than usual top tier figures.”

The ground shook violently under everyone’s feet. Dragontop Mountain had sunk more than 800 meters. Dirt that flew up into the air formed a mass of black clouds, darkening the sky.

Zhang Ruochen stood on the top of the mountain. Pulling the Clear Sky Bow back, he aimed at Crown Prince Jingtian.

“Zhang Ruochen, I am your opponent.”

Motian Crown Prince was around ten feet tall and his body was covered in demonic black patterns. Two pairs of dark red wings sprouted on his back. Wielding a black 13-foot-long blade, he brought it down at Zhang Ruochen.

Black light flowed down the blade’s edge with sizzling sounds.

Motian Crown Prince was third on the Half-Saint Outer Rank and was already a Pre-Saint. He was only a step away from becoming an above-top tier figure.

Zhang Ruochen glanced at the approaching Motian Crown Prince. His fingers loosened and the arrow flew out. Rings of Holy Qi rippled out from the arrow.

Boom.

The Shining Sun Arrow flew out, shooting down the mountain. Crown Prince Jingtian’s expression changed slightly. He activated all his Spiritual Power to his fingers and chanted in his mind, Ten Prints of Jingmie Destruction.

Crown Prince Jingtian cast a Level 10 earth defensive spell. The next moment, Spiritual Qi began converging toward him. It formed a ten-level-high blood-red shield.

It was formed by Spiritual Qi, but it looked like it was made out of metal. It was ten feet thick and shone with golden light.

Boom, boom.

The Shining Sun Arrow and blood-red shield crashed. That moment, shocking power was released, shattering the shield.

Dozens of explosions sounded, shattering the Ten Prints of Jingmie Destruction. The Shining Sun Arrow grazed past Crown Prince Jingtian’s neck. Merely the wind from the arrow left a deep gash on his neck.

Hot blood flowed out, dyeing his collar red.

With a thud, the Shining Sun Arrow hit the ground, leaving a deep, bottomless hole. Spider web-like cracks spread around the hole. It was a shocking sight.

“A pity!” Zhang Ruochen shook his head and sighed.

Motian Crown Prince had disturbed that arrow, making it lose its target. Otherwise, it could kill Crown Prince Jingtian or at least injure him heavily.

At the moment, Motian Crown Prince’s huge sword was hanging above Zhang Ruochen’s head. He was unable to try again.

“Die!” Motian Crown Prince’s body flared with heavy demonic Qi. His arms, thicker than pillars, were filled with explosive power.

Zhang Ruochen grabbed his bow with one hand and jumped to the side. Turning around, a dragon’s roar sounded in his arm and he slammed the Clear Day Bow down. It crashed against the huge black sword.

Kaboom.

After the collision, Motian Crown Prince was sent flying.

Zhang Ruochen took three steps back as well, creating three deep footprints, to dissolve the power and stabilize himself.

“As expected of number three on the Outer Rank. Your power is actually stronger than Crown Prince Qingtian.” Zhang Ruochen smiled.

Motian Crown Prince landed on the ground. He grabbed the sword hilt with both hands and stabbed the sword into the dirt. “Qing Ye was only physically strong,” he said gruffly. “Because he absorbed ancient Suanni blood and received a remnant of the Suanni Secret Spells, allowing him to saintify 132 apertures.”

“However, a remnant is still only a remnant. He saintified 122 apertures. Even if he didn’t reach the limit yet, he wouldn’t be far from it. He’d never completely turn his body into a Saint. How can he be compared to me with that power?”

Cultivating the physical body wasn’t the accumulation of resources. An average cultivator wouldn’t be able to have a saint body no matter how much divine blood he was given.

Even a top talent like Crown Prince Qingtian with divine spells like the Suanni Secret Spells had difficulty cultivating 132 apertures. It seemed like he only needed 12 more apertures to turn his body into a Saint. However, each of those 12 apertures was harder than the last. The difficulty grew exponentially.

It could be said that Crown Prince Qingtian’s body becoming a Saint was practically impossible, unless he received a more complete copy of the Suanni Secret Spells.

Zhang Ruochen looked quite interested. “Does this mean that you’re cultivating your body too?”

“Correct.”

Motian Crown Prince spread his legs slightly. His blood instantly started coursing through him with loud booms. Each vein was like a wide river. The sound of blood flowing was as loud as an angry current.

Only someone whose body had reached a shocking level would be able to withstand that exuberant blood Qi.

Zhang Ruochen activated the Eye of the Deity Print and looked inside Motian Crown Prince’s body. There were eight blood-red meridians. One end connected to the blood; the other connected to the Sea of Qi.

These were Blood Spiritual Meridians.

“You actually opened eight Blood Spiritual Meridians,” Zhang Ruochen exclaimed.

After all, cultivating the body in the orthodox way meant the more Blood Spiritual Meridians, the higher the accomplishments. Once one opened five meridians, one would have the chance to saintify the body.

Eight hundred years ago, a genius of the Blood God Sect had opened seven Blood Spiritual Meridians. Not only did he turn his body into a Saint, he was a step away from reaching the Supreme Saint Realm. He was known as the Tenth Emperor.

Motian Crown Prince was actually more powerful than this genius from the Blood God Sect. He’d cultivated eight Blood Spiritual Meridians. No wonder Zhang Ruochen had such a surprised expression.

“Yes, I have indeed opened eight Blood Spiritual Meridians,” Motian Crown Prince said confidently in a deep voice.

Opening eight meridians created a sturdy foundation for cultivating the physical body. This had always been what Motian Crown Prince was most proud of.

Everyone present who was familiar with physical body cultivation was incredibly stunned by this.

A regular person couldn’t even open one meridian, let alone eight!

“Motian Crown Prince could become third on the Outer Rank. He is definitely a terrifying figure. Any other time, he would probably be undefeatable.”

Shangguan Xianyan, Saintess of the Blood God Sect, sighed deeply. She couldn’t keep calm.

She’d once gone to read the Blood God Map to open the door to physical body cultivation, but she couldn’t open a single meridian and had to give up. Thus, she was more than clear that having eight Blood Spiritual Meridians was incredible.

“There are too many talents in this era,” Wan Huayu said. “Anyone that can enter top 30 of the Half-Saint Rank and Outer Rank would have been a top figure in any other time.”

Even the nine Heirs couldn’t all enter the top 30 rank. It was evident how difficult it was to join them. Those who could be top five would have probably been the top figures in the middle ages.

“Qiu Yu, Qi Sheng, Zhang Ruochen, Master Lidi, the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon and Xue Wutian are all too excellent. They overshadowed the other beings. Otherwise, someone like Motian Crown Prince would definitely impress the world and be the synonym of undefeatable.”

Everyone was discussing, feeling incredulous.

At first, people thought that no one would be able to defeat Zhang Ruochen unless Qiu Yu, first of the Half-Saint Rank, and Qi Sheng, first of the Outer Rank, attacked. Now, they wavered. Motian Crown Prince was definitely strong enough to fight with Zhang Ruochen.

“It is indeed impressive to open up eight Blood Spiritual Meridians,” Zhang Ruochen said. “Very impressive.”

Motian Crown Prince smiled coldly. There was a tinge of pride in the smile. Then Zhang Ruochen’s tone changed.

“But you will lose undoubtedly against me.”

As soon as he spoke, crashing waves of blood sounded within him. Ten Blood Spiritual Meridians appeared. They connected his Sea of Qi to his blood like ten celestial rivers.

Motian Crown Prince’s eyes widened in disbelief. Even his hands trembled around his sword hilt.

“Ten…Blood Spiritual Meridians.”

Even ancient monsters like the Rosefinch Fairy, Kun Prince, and Heavenly King Bi’an gasped. They were so shocked.

Most creatures would cultivate the physical body in the ancient times. Many would become Saints as well. Thus, every ancient race had one or two ways of opening up Blood Spiritual Meridians.

As ancient Taigu Remains, they naturally knew how terrifying it was to open ten Spiritual Blood Meridians.

“No wonder he dares to provoke Qiu Yu. He really does have the capital.”

The Rosefinch Fairy’s eyelashes trembled. The flames on her body grew more vibrant. Strong murderous intent flared with the flames.

Since she’d already offended Zhang Ruochen, she had to kill him quickly. He couldn’t keep improving.

She opened her brilliant fiery wings and flew down like a goddess. She aimed at Zhang Ruochen at the peak of Dragontop Mountain.

Xue Wuye transformed into a beam of sword light. He flew into the air to stop the Rosefinch Fairy. Looking very handsome, he smiled. “Fairy, last time, we left with regret from Yunmiao Lake. How about we find a pretty place to discuss the mysteries of the Sword Way again?”

In the end, the Rosefinch Fairy couldn’t join Zhang Ruochen and Motian Crown Prince’s battle. She started fighting Xue Wuye.

Next, the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon, Kun Prince, and Heavenly King Bi’an rushed toward Dragontop Mountain. They wanted to ally with the two crown princes and empress of the Immortal Vampires, and kill this hateful human.

“Amitabha!” Monk Lidi chanted. The next moment, the Buddha’s golden body appeared to stop the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon.

In the other direction, Le and Chi Wansui also attacked to stop the Kun Prince and Heavenly King Bi’an respectively.

A battle erupted at Dragontop Mountain once again. This time, the scale was even more shocking. Practically all the top figures of the human race, Immortal Vampires, and savage beasts were involved.
