Chapter 1852: What a Small World

Zhang Ruochen brought Mastadon-Devouring Rabbit out of the Eastern Region Holy City and came to the wilderness.

He took a Dimensional Chaos Scroll and struck it out at Mastadon-Devouring Rabbit all of a sudden.

“What do you want me to do? Hey, hold on a second, what the heck is that?”

Mastadon-Devouring Rabbit was shocked, its hair standing on end as it quickly bounced back at once at seeing a scroll hurling toward it.

Thousands of dimensional inscriptions rushed out of the scroll to combine with the Precepts of Heaven and Earth. Something changed in the dimensional structure and the earth’s tectonic plates shifted.

A moment later, an area of a hundred miles turned into a chaotic dimension.

The Mastadon-Devouring Rabbit panicked in front of these sudden changes.

It ran frenziedly inside the chaotic dimension, trying to get out of this strange place.

But it was useless. It kept running in a straight line and still found itself moving at the same spot.

The Mastadon-Devouring Rabbit bored into the ground and went deeper and deeper. It came out of the earth within a few breaths.

It felt as if somewhere underground, the dimension suddenly inverted.

“I don’t want the ancient sacred herb anymore. Let me go!” The Mastadon-Devouring Rabbit pleaded.

Zhang Ruochen put his fingers to his chin and smiled. “If you could get yourself out of this chaotic dimension, I will give this scroll to you, on top of the ancient sacred herb.”

“Really?”

The Mastadon-Devouring Rabbit was not dumb. It realized that Zhang Ruochen was using it as a lab rat to experiment with the scroll.

Its body swelled and looked hideous, emanating a strong demonic air as it turned into a massive demonic dragon.

The energy it released rivalled that of the Greater Precept World cultivators.

Demonic Dragon charged toward Zhang Ruochen, trying to take him by force. But a few miles away from Zhang Ruochen, it flew off course to the right, then back to the original spot.

It found itself unable to unleash its strength.

Demonic Dragon tried to spit its demonic flames at Zhang Ruochen, but the flames went off-course and came back at Demonic Dragon itself.

“Aah—”

After trying for an hour, Demonic Dragon panted like a dog and it transformed back into a Mastadon-Devouring Rabbit.

His body was full of bruises. Its rabbit hair on some part of its body was burned, looking really awkward.

“I give up! I give up! Let me go! I don’t want anymore!” The Mastadon-Devouring Rabbit begged.

Zhang Ruochen knew that the Mastadon-Devouring Rabbit had tried all it could but still failed to defeat the chaotic dimension. Judging by this, he knew that suppressing a Nine-Step Saint King of the Great Precept World with the Dimensional Chaos Scroll was easy.

Just that he was not sure if this would work on the Precept Domain elites.

The biggest advantage of the Dimensional Chaos Scroll was that it could form a chaotic dimension in the blink of an eye.

When Zhang Ruochen set up a Dimensional Chaos Array last time, it needed time to do that. And during battles, no enemy would be so stupid to give him the opportunity to set up an array.

He struck out his hand and retrieved the Dimensional Chaos Scroll in the air.

The surrounding dimensional structure returned to normal in the blink of an eye.

The dimensional inscription on the scroll had faded somewhat. It would still be good for another two times of use before the inscription disappeared entirely.

“A Dimensional Chaos Scroll is good for three times of use,” said Zhang Ruochen quietly to himself.

He waved at the Mastadon-Devouring Rabbit. “I still have another two scrolls. Come here and help me with the experiment.”

“No, no. Find someone else. My cultivation base is too low for this. You are not going to have any meaningful test on me.” The Mastadon-Devouring Rabbit stepped back.

Zhang Ruochen shook his head lightly.

The Dimensional Collapse Scroll and Dimensional Teleportation Scroll were dangerous. So Zhang Ruochen would not be prepared to risk the life of the Mastadon-Devouring Rabbit.

He struck out a Dimensional Collapse Scroll and flew up thousands of feet in the air.

Boom!

The scroll exploded, and a vast number of dimensional inscriptions flew out in all directions.

A dimensional inscription could tear open a dimensional fissure. Soon, a large hole appeared in the sky, inside which it was pitch dark. The dimension within a few hundred miles from it was shaking.

The Mastadon-Devouring Rabbit was hiding in a bush, looking up at the black hole in the sky, and shivered. “Lucky for me; I didn’t agree to it. Otherwise, I would have been dead by now. He must be thinking I have eaten too much sacred herbs and want to kill me. I have got to prove to him I can do something for him, and not a freeloader.”

Zhang Ruochen looked at the sky and smiled; the dimensional hole stayed there and did not close back up. “The Dimensional Collapse Scroll will probably pose a grave threat to the Precept Domain elites. It could even kill them.”

The powerful dimensional shock wave had attracted the attention of the saint-level cultivators in the vicinity.

They must think some precious stuff had emerged, and they must be peeking from a distance in this direction somewhere, waiting for an opportunity to snatch it away.

As Zhang Ruochen released his spiritual power, he sensed a familiar energy to his surprise. His heart missed a beat, and he quickly performed a Dimensional Shift, disappearing into thin air.

150 miles away.

The young master of the Warhammer Palace, Bloodhunt Hongdong, was peeking out from behind a rocky mountain, staring at Zhang Ruochen. He gritted his teeth with a murderous look in his eyes.

“What a small world!”

Bloodhunt Hongdong knew very well that Zhang Ruochen was controlling the ancient inscription of Eastern Region Holy City. If Zhang Ruochen kept staying inside the city, he would have no chance of seeking revenge.

But now, Zhang Ruochen had left Eastern Region Holy City and was alone. This was a heaven-sent opportunity.

Bloodhunt Hongdong took out a half-foot-long bronze sword. Holding it in his hand, he started to divert his saint qi into the sword.

Instantly, flaming patterns appeared on the blade.

The bronze sword was a Seventh Radiance Thousand-Inscription Sacred Artifact-class weapon.

What made it so special was that there was inscription flow inside it. The speed of the sword might not be at the speed of light, but it could shoot out at 500 times the speed of sound.

During a surprise attack, not even the Nine-Step Saint King with the Greater Precept World could dodge. Nine out of ten of them would be hit.

Bloodhunt Hongdong had fought with Zhang Ruochen in Sword Sanctum before and knew his strength, which was still below that of the Nine-Step Saint King with the Greater Precept World. Zhang Ruochen had defeated him only because of a supreme artifact he used.

“Not good!”

Bloodhunt Hongdong suddenly sensed a spiritual power flew past him, and Zhang Ruochen had disappeared from where he stood.

“Zhang Ruochen must have spotted me!”

Bloodhunt Hongdong was ready to flee. He spun around, only to find Zhang Ruochen standing there with his hands behind him.

He froze on the spot and glared at Zhang Ruochen. “Here we meet again! Why don’t you wear your mask this time?”

“It seems you have found out my identity,” said Zhang Ruochen.

“I found it out when you used a supreme artifact in Eastern Region palace. It was you who attacked me in the Sword Sanctum.”

“Since you know who I am, you should also know my relationship with the Sword Sanctum. You will have to answer for the wrongs you made in the Sword Sanctum,” said Zhang Ruochen nonchalantly.

Bloodhunt Hongdong was not afraid of Zhang Ruochen but the supreme artifact that he wielded. So he was not going to give Zhang Ruochen the chance to use it. He struck out the bronze sword at once.

The bronze sword shot out at warp speed. But Zhang Ruochen’s reaction was quicker than he had expected.

Zhang Ruochen struck out a punch with a brilliant cloud of fire, colliding head-on with the bronze sword.

Boom!

Zhang Ruochen was forced three steps back. He immediately planted his left foot firmly to the ground and shifted the energy of the bronze sword down to the ground.

The earth under his left foot sank, turning into a massive pit.

Meanwhile, the bronze sword was sent flying back out.

“How could this be possible?”

Bloodhunt Hongdong was in disbelief. At this short distance and this speed with this level of power, how could Zhang Ruochen neutralize these so easily?

Not even he had the confidence to do this.

While Bloodhunt Hongdong was still in shock, Zhang Ruochen had come within a hundred feet, striking out a palm of a hundred-foot-long at him.

“Severing Fist!”

Bloodhunt Hongdong summoned all his saint qi and Precept of the Fist, taking on Zhang Ruochen’s palm with both fists. He wanted to use his strength to his advantage and forced Zhang Ruochen back.

Boom!

A violent and heated energy hit Bloodhunt Hongdong. Zhang Ruochen’s strength was beyond what he had expected.

The expression on Bloodhunt Hongdong’s face collapsed. He was forced back, and with each step he took, the ground under his feet would sink. He retreated for several thousand feet before he could completely neutralize Zhang Ruochen’s palm energy.

Saint blood spurted out of his mouth.

“You.. you have achieved a breakthrough in your cultivation?”

There was fear in Bloodhunt Hongdong’s eyes.

The last time they fought, Bloodhunt Hongdong had an absolute advantage over Zhang Ruochen. He basically overwhelmed Zhang Ruochen. But this time, Zhang Ruochen had hurt him with just a palm.

It was only a few days, and even if Zhang Ruochen did not use a supreme artifact, his combat strength had far surpassed Bloodhunt Hongdong’s.

Bloodhunt Hongdong dared not to fight him anymore. He took out a talisman and stuck it on his body. He instantly faded into a streak of light and lunged up into the clouds. He was about to get away.

“Trying to get away again?”

Zhang Ruochen frowned. Just as he was ready to perform a Dimension Shift to give chase, he sensed an energy of the dragon in the clouds. He stopped and a smile spread across his face.

A demonic dragon the size of a mountain roared inside the clouds and struck out its sharp claws, hitting Bloodhunt Hongdong, sending him flying backward.

“Hey, kid! How dare you flee when he wants you to stay?”

Guoguo wanted to prove its worth that it was not a freeloader. So it went all out to attack Bloodhunt Hongdong, who was no match for it and was forced to retreat.

Bloodhunt Hongdong had a talisman that could enable him to move at warp speed.

But Guoguo had transformed into a demonic dragon, the body of which was over ten miles long, not to mention its speed. As quick as Bloodhunt Hongdong was, he still found himself within the striking range of the dragon claws.

Those saint-level cultivators hiding and looking from a distance had their hearts in their mouths.

“Zhang Ruochen has so many powerful fighters, and he has occupied Eastern Region. It looks like our lives will only get harder.”

“We all know how powerful Bloodhunt Hongdong is. Yet he couldn’t hold a candle to Zhang Ruochen. We have to reconsider and think twice if we want to do anything in Eastern Region.”

An earth-shattering roar came from inside the clouds.

“Get the hell back down there!”

A black claw of the dragon struck Bloodhunt Hongdong and pressed him from the sky down to earth. A cloud of dust rose into the air as the claw impacted the earth.
