God Emperor
chapter-1427

Zhang Ruochen took out the Monument Shield and started to study it after walking into his refining mansion.

The shield looked like a turtle shell. It was concave with dozens of jewels inlaid around the edge. Each of the jewels was precious with special energy ripples inside.

Inside the shield were twelve hundred inscriptions. Some of them were defense type inscriptions, while others were of lightning and fire.

Zhang Ruochen infused his saint Qi into the Monument Shield, and on its surface emerged light.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t take off the time and space crystal.

Whoosh!

Just as he infused the time and space crystal with saint Qi, he disappeared from the mansion and entered the crystal’s inner space.

“I used to treat the time and space crystal as a spiritual place of monks, so I kept absorbing the spiritual Qi from the crystal and drained the energies. I can’t make the same mistake again.”

Zhang Ruochen mobilized his saint Qi in the inner space and infused the red boxing glove with it. Hundred Saints Blood Armor showed up and covered him.

Zhang Ruochen could feel a hundred traces of mindpower rushing toward him.

That was the mindpower of a hundred saints.

Meanwhile, a hundred traces of knowledge and saintly way comprehension flooded Zhang Ruochen’s mind.

They were the bits of knowledge of a hundred saints.

Even though Zhang Ruochen had reached Heaven Pass Realm and his mind power was almost at level fifty-four, he almost fell down.

“Terrifying…”

Zhang Ruochen clenched his teeth and supported himself with his arms while infusing the Hundred Saints Blood Armor with his saint Qi. He wanted to activate the legendary power of the hundred saints.

Both the mindpower and blood armor of the hundred saints were very hostile. They were attacking Zhang Ruochen’s mind as they tried to render him a slave to the armor.

Howl!

Zhang Ruochen had great willpower, and his state of mind was at supreme-saint level. He suppressed the mindpower of the hundred saints, shouted and stood up again.

Whoosh!

The Hundred Saints Blood Armor started to gleam, and inside the blood-red light were a hundred saint shadows with different shapes crowding the inner space of the time and space crystal.

Zhang Ruochen also started to picture the shadows of a hundred saints. They were practicing different martial ways and saint spells. Some of them were sword techniques, some of them were fist techniques, some were breathing fire, and some were releasing light pillars from their eyes…

A hundred saints were flaunting their techniques!

Zhang Ruochen had only activated the first level of the power of the Hundred Saints Blood Armor, so each of the saint shadows was a lower-class saint.

Even so, the combined power of the hundred lower-class saints and Zhang Ruochen was enormous.

The second level of power of the Hundred Saints Blood Armor was the combined power of a hundred mid-class saints.

The third level of power of the Hundred Saints Blood Armor was the combined power of a hundred upper-class saints.

…

“It really isn’t an easy task to control the power of a hundred saints. I can barely support the first level of the Hundred Saints Blood Armor.

“If I become a true saint, I might be able to use the second-level power of the Hundred Saints Blood Armor.”

After testing it, Zhang Ruochen realized that he could only use the first-level power of the Hundred Saints Blood Armor for fifteen minutes, and after that, he felt feeble because of the huge consumption of saint Qi.

“It needs too much saint Qi. I’m not going to use the power of the Hundred Saints Blood Armor unless I have to. I’ll stick to Ten Saints Blood Armor.”

Zhang Ruochen was able to activate the supreme form of Ten Saints Blood Armor, and its forces were still impressive.

And besides, Ten Saints Blood Armor also had tremendous defense power, and he could easily use it for a fight under saint kings.

Sizzle!

Zhang Ruochen retracted saint Qi, and the Hundred Saints Blood Armor turned back into a boxing glove on his right hand.

After that, Zhang Ruochen put all his efforts into refining the Ning True Saint Dew in the inner area of the time and space crystal.

Zhang Ruochen managed to refine one hundred drops of Ning True Saint Dew every day, and his cultivation surged. He reached the mid-level of Heaven Pass Realm very soon.

In the next twenty-something days, Zhang Ruochen refined more than two thousand drops of Ning True Saint Dew, and he reached the upper-level of Heaven Pass Realm.

After that, Zhang Ruochen had to walk out of the time and space crystal as the Saints Merits Battle was about to begin.

He’d find a chance to improve his cultivation after getting to Zuling Field.

Zhang Ruochen walked out of his refining mansion, and he could feel the saintly way ripples around him. There were countless saints gathering here.

The saint Qi that came out of their bodies turned into traces of light that surged through the clouds, forming tumbling saint clouds.

Zhang Ruochen released his mind power to inspect it, and he found that Guanghan Field had a hundred thousand saints.

They all gathered here.

This was a scene Zhang Ruochen would have never expected to see before coming to Heaven World.

Mu Lingxi looked kind of grave. She said, “Incredible! Guanghan Field is ranked second to last in the Shatuo Seven Fields, yet it already has a hundred thousand saints. What about Great Demon Ten Square Field that’s ranked first? Kunlun’s Field doesn’t even have half the saints Guanghan Field does. How are they going to fight this fight?”

Mu Lingxi came from Kunlun’s Field, so she didn’t want Kunlun’s Field to become a battlefield, a sacrifice for Heaven World and Hell World.

However, Kunlun’s Field didn’t even stand a chance.

Blackie seemed chill. It said, “The half saints in Guanghan Field refine in Heaven World, so they have much better resources and an environment than those from Kunlun’s Field. Naturally, it’s much easier to become saints, saint kings and supreme saints here.”

Mu Lingxi looked to Zhang Ruochen, and she found that Zhang Ruochen was remaining calm.

Zhang Ruochen walked to Blackie and said, “Are you joining the Saint Merits Fight, Blackie?”

Blackie looked disdainful and said, “I’m already an invincible being. How can I join the Saint Merits Battle? I’ll join the Supreme Saints Merits Battle if I need to join, but…”

“But what?” Mu Lingxi asked.

Blackie said, “But Moon Goddess received me before and told me not to join the Merits Battle. I’ll stay in Heaven World with the old guy who makes pills and the other who makes wine. I’m too powerful, making me the trump card of Guanghan Field, so I need to remain hidden.”

Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi didn’t believe what Blackie said.

It was possible that Blackie’s cultivation was higher than saints, but it wouldn’t be a great power if it joined a higher-level merits battle.

Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi gave each other a look and shook their heads.

“Look, that’s the reflection of the Saints Merits Battlefield.”

Suddenly, a huge light screen showed up in the sky above Tongyou Saint Domain.

It was the reflection of Zuling Void World.

It used to be a prosperous large field where thousands of races and trillions of creatures lived.

But now, the large field had crumbled, and most of the field continents had turned into dust. The dust looked like lifeless rocky stars.

There were four giant fields, fragmented continents floating in the astral sky.

Each of the field fragments was twenty million to thirty million miles long as if they were four giant continents floating in the universe.

Zhang Ruochen mobilized his mind power to watch the reflection of Zuling Field, and the closer it was, the more he could see.

In the end, Zhang Ruochen looked to a human city in the west. The city was in ruins, and a Luosha monk was eating a human head. It looked brutal and bloody.

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes turned red as he couldn’t control his emotions. He wanted to kill.

“Luosha race is ruthless! Let’s kill them all in Zuling Field!”

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

“They dare eat human beings… I’ll annihilate them!”

…

All the saints were able to see the fight in Zuling Field using their mind power. Certainly, everyone focused on the major cities in Zuling Field instead of those barren fields.

Emperor Jimie flew over, arriving above the saints and standing under the reflection. “The Saints Merits Battle is about to begin. You guys have seen what happened to Zuling Field. If you don’t want Guanghan Field to fall, kill as many Luosha as possible to earn merits.”

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

Everyone yelled, and their voices echoed throughout Tongyou Saint Domain.

Emperor Jimie continued, “Have you seen the reflection of the battlefield? There’s a reflection in the sky of each saint domain of Shatuo Seven Fields, Guanghan Field, Kunlun’s Field, Great Demons Ten Square Field…

“Which is why all the creatures in the seven fields can also see you, including the monks from other fields in Heaven World, even Gods. They can see every one of your fights, so make their expectations worthy. Kill and show the power of Guanghan Field!

“If Guanghan Field wins Merits Battle, I’ll give my best valuables to the brave soldiers who contribute the most.”

Just as Emperor Jimie was giving a speech, the reflection also showed up in the sky above Kunlun’s Field. The monks from First Central Empire and savage beasts in Savage Barren Secret Region all raised their heads and looked to the sky.

The battle reflection also showed up above Guanghan Field.

…

Power determined who became the saviors of a large field and banes of Hell World. Everyone in the seven large fields could see it.

Saints Merits Battle officially began, and led by the three supreme saints from Guanghan Field, a hundred thousand saints walked toward the saint road to Zuling Field.
