God Emperor
chapter-2229

The Divine Purification Flame's Yang energies were thunderous and overbearing. It was completely different from the Grim Soul-devouring Flame. It surged out of Zhang Ruochen crazily, as if it wanted to engulf the heavens and burn everything in the world.

Boom

The two flames made an ear-piercing sound when they came into contact.

The Divine Purification Flame transformed into a phoenix under Zhang Ruochen's control. It broke through all the obstacles and flew high with its fluttering wings.

The large space became distorted under the high temperature.

Even the Grim Soul-devouring Flame couldn't withstand the refining of the Divine Purification Flame and it dissipated into nothingness.

Zhang Ruochen stomped with his left foot. Millions of scarlet Divine Precepts appeared and a majestic fire divine force was unleashed.

Boom

The power of the Divine Purification Flame skyrocketed and the condensed phoenix became bigger and more solid. Its every feather could be seen clearly.

The Divine Purification Flame was one of the three divine flames that the Yanshen cultivated in the Path of Fire.

Therefore, using the power of the Yanshen's leg could amplify the Divine Purification Flame. It could display the terrifying power of the Divine Purification Flame.

Whoosh

The phoenix soared into the sky and forcefully tore apart Lord Xia Yu's firestorm. Countless wind blades and the Grim Soul-devouring Flame shot out in all directions like a goddess scattering flowers. It looked beautiful.

Zhang Ruochen stood on top of the phoenix with his hands behind his back. He looked down from above the world as if a true god had descended.

In the Vastsea Garden, many Immortal Vampires were stunned.

"How is this possible? Even if it's the Emperor-level Divine Purification Flame, how can Zhang Ruochen be so powerful with his current cultivation?"

"Zhang Ruochen's Divine Purification Flame contains true divine force. It's extraordinary."

"It's rumored that Zhang Ruochen had cultivated the Divine Purification Flame to the Emperor level when he was in the Saint King Realm. When he broke through to the Supreme Saint realm, the Path-melding Tribulation that he went through contained the integration of the Precepts of Fire from heaven and earth. He had been tempered and cleansed by the precepts of heaven and earth. This is an innate advantage."

"It has been extremely rare for a Saint King to master the Divine Purification Flame at the Emperor-level since ancient times. No wonder Zhang Ruochen is called a peerless genius that only appears once every Yuanhui period."

...

Zhang Ruochen had achieved the impossible. He suppressed Lord Xia Yu's Grim Soul-devouring Flame with his flame. It was admirable.

Under normal circumstances, cultivators who had the Divine Purification Flame could rarely transform it into the Emperor-level flame, even in the Neverwilt Realm.

Lord Xia Yu was calm and she did not show any signs of panic. It was just a test and it was not a big deal that Zhang Ruochen had broken her technique.

Lord Xia Yu flipped her hand and she put the blood jade flute into her mouth and began to play it at a leisurely pace.

Suddenly, a very soothing and pleasant sound from the flute was heard clearly by all the cultivators present.

When they heard the sound of the flute, some of the weaker cultivators could not help but become fascinated.

Zhang Ruochen had a different feeling about it.

He felt uneasy as soon as he heard the sound of the flute. The Qi and blood in him began to surge. He could not control it.

The scariest thing was that Zhang Ruochen's Saint Soul was throbbing. It seemed to be separating from his body.

Zhang Ruochen did not know why, but he felt drowsy and tired.

The next moment, Zhang Ruochen felt like he was pulled into a special world. It was dark and distorted. Everything inside was like a dream bubble and it burst continuously.

Even with his spiritual will, he could not tell whether this world was real or illusory.

Whoosh

A dark vortex appeared. As it spun, it swallowed everything and became bigger and bigger.

A strange power seeped into Zhang Ruochen and sucked in his Saint Soul and will. It wanted to suck all of it into the dark vortex as well.

"The Soul-siphoning Flute and the Hymn of Soul-sacrification. Life and death are full of helplessness."

At the same time, this sentence appeared in the minds of many cultivators.

Lord Xia Yu's blood jade flute was known as the Soul-siphoning Flute. It was a special treasure with an extraordinary origin. It belonged to a deceased ancient god.

Long ago, Lord Xia Yu had accidentally entered a dangerous place. Not only did she survive, but she also happened to obtain the Soul-siphoning Flute and the inheritance of the Hymn of Soul-sacrification.

Legend had it that when the ancient god used the Soul-siphoning Flute to play the Hymn of Soul-sacrification, all lives in a Macroworld would lose their souls. Even the gods would be affected.

Lord Xia Yu's attainments in this aspect were far inferior to that of the ancient god. However, once she played the tune, no ordinary person would be able to resist it. Even a Thousand-Koan Realm elite would not be able to guarantee that he would not be affected.

Lord Xia Yu had recognized Zhang Ruochen's strength through the previous test. Therefore, she no longer held back and demonstrated a truly terrifying technique.

Fortunately, Lord Xia Yu only targeted Zhang Ruochen. Otherwise, many cultivators in the Vastsea Garden would have been affected. All their lives were in Lord Xia Yu's hand.

Zhang Ruochen was slightly shocked and thought, 'What a strange flute sound. It can numb the five senses and erode the spiritual will.'

The power to make one lose one's soul was strange and unpredictable. It was pervasive and difficult to resist. If one's spiritual will was slightly lowered, one would fall into endless darkness.

Even though Zhang Ruochen's spiritual will was extremely strong, he was in a momentary trance. He lost control of his phoenix, it quickly disintegrated and turned back into a raging Divine Purification Flame.

All of a sudden, the flute sound transformed into a phantom skeleton. It held a demonic saber and slashed directly at Zhang Ruochen.

At the same time, the scattered Grim Soul-devouring Flame condensed again. It was different from before. It was as if it had been given life and turned into orchid flowers in a special formation and it circled Zhang Ruochen.

"Does Lord Xia Yu intend to kill Zhang Ruochen?"

Some cultivators thought so.

It was the Hymn of Soul-sacrification and the Soul-devouring Orchid Formation. No matter how they looked at it, it was meant for destroying Zhang Ruochen.

Even if Zhang Ruochen did not die, he would suffer unimaginable injuries and damage his cultivation foundation.

Only Lord Xia Yu was that bold and unrestrained in the Xue Jue Family.

At this point, only a few people believed that Zhang Ruochen could resist Lord Xia Yu's killing move. This battle could end.

Zhang Ruochen stood quietly in the air as if he had been completely controlled by the Hymn of Soul-sacrification.

"Calm and unmoving like the Earth, and the angered Wisdom King will split the Nine Heavens."

Just as the skeleton swung the knife down, Zhang Ruochen shouted in his heart.

At this moment, Zhang Ruochen's spiritual will burst out with extreme sharpness. Nothing could stop it.

Crack

The demonic saber and the skeleton shattered.

The thousand-mile-tall Immovable Wisdom King's Saint Aspect surfaced. It was filled with majesty and all the demons were stunned.

The Divine Purification Flame circled the Immovable Wisdom King's Saint Aspect. It shattered the Soul-devouring Orchid Formation with a single move.

Roar

The Immovable Wisdom King's Saint Aspect roared into the sky. The world shook, suppressing all sounds and everything went silent.

Bang

Lord Xia Yu's body trembled and let out a muffled groan. She could not help but take a step back.

Staring at the Immovable Wisdom King's Saint Aspect, Lord Xia Yu's eyes could not help but reveal a trace of shock. That long howl not only destroyed the Hymn of Soul-sacrification, it also caused her body to suffer some backlash, causing her mind and will to tremble.

She would never have thought that a Saint Aspect would have such power.

"It's because of that will," said Xue Tu as he suddenly understood.

Previously, when Zhang Ruochen was cleansed in the ancient blood spring, his bloodline power had awakened. A majestic figure had appeared, which had alarmed the original body of Progenitor Bloodximius.

Although a Saint Aspect had appeared, Xue Tu could vaguely sense the Qi dynamic of that will.

With the power of the will, it was not difficult to break the Hymn of Soul-sacrification.

Zhang Ruochen's eyes were calm and unmoved. He activated the Immovable Wisdom King's Saint Aspect and formed a mysterious palm print. He struck directly at Lord Xia Yu.

Lord Xia Yu quickly blew the Soul-siphoning Flute. Precepts and the power of a Supreme Saint were released. They condensed into a huge dark demon mountain and blocked the way.

The Soul-siphoning Flute was an extraordinary secret treasure. It had countless uses.

Boom

The dark demon mountain exploded, and it could not block the Immovable Wisdom King's Saint Aspect.

Lord Xia Yu could not help but retreat quickly to avoid the attack of the Immovable Wisdom King's Saint Aspect.

Zhang Ruochen did not stop. He continued to attack Lord Xia Yu. He did not give her any chance to catch her breath.

After cultivating to the ninth level of the technique, especially awakening the will of the Immovable Wisdom King in the ancient blood spring, Zhang Ruochen finally grasped the essence of the Empyrean Emperor Ming's Scripture and had more wonderful uses.

And just now, when the Saint Aspect and the will of the Immovable Wisdom King combined, something inexplicably appeared in Zhang Ruochen's mind. It was extremely obscure as if it was some kind of special inheritance.

However, he did not have the time to comprehend it at the moment.

Even without the Immovable Wisdom King's will, Zhang Ruochen could still resist the Hymn of Soul-sacrification with his own tenacious will.

However, it was impossible to break the Hymn of Soul-sacrification with such ease.

After all, this was Lord Xia Yu's killing move. It could make even a powerful warrior in the Thousand-Koan Realm fear it. It was not easy to break it.

Seeing Lord Xia Yu's killing move being countered and falling into a disadvantageous position, many cultivators could not help but reveal looks of astonishment. They could not believe their eyes.

Right at that moment, Gu Chenzi flashed out from the floating island and appeared on the battlefield.

"Let me see what you can do."

Gu Chenzi's body trembled as he spoke. Boundless blood Qi surged out. Billions of Precepts interweaved and condensed into a towering figure that was a thousand-mile tall. It had eight silver wings on its back and was the same as Gu Chenzi.

This was the Saint Aspect Gu Chenzi had cultivated. It was extremely solid, almost like his true body.

Boom

Gu Chenzi's Saint Aspect and Immovable Wisdom King's Saint Aspect clashed. They unleashed terrifying power and shook the surroundings.

At the same time, the two Saint Aspects each took a few steps back and pulled away.

The Three Top Elites of Bloodsky Clan each had their strengths. Supreme Saint Yi Xuan's physique was the strongest. Like Zhang Ruochen, his physique had become a Supreme Saint. No one dared to clash head-on with him.

Lord Xia Yu was known for her mysterious and unpredictable methods. She could kill without being noticed.

As for Gu Chenzi, his strongest move was the Saint Aspect. He had obtained the secret technique of the Fane of Immortality and condensed an extremely powerful Saint Aspect of Immortality. He could cultivate the secret techniques of the Fane of Immortality.

Whoosh

Gu Chenzi's Saint Aspect of Immortality formed a strange seal. Immediately, a large amount of blood-colored chains flew out and wrapped around the Immovable Wisdom King's Saint Aspect.

The Immovable Wisdom King's Saint Aspect waved his hand and the Divine Purification Flame turned into fire dragons and charged out.

The Divine Purification Flame burned everything. No matter how strange the blood-red chains were, they could not resist and were refined.

On the other side, a sea of blood appeared. It raised huge waves and slapped toward the Immovable Wisdom King's Saint Aspect.

"Wise King's Heaven Suppression."

Zhang Ruochen shouted. The seal formed with his hands changed instantly.

The sky above the Immovable Wisdom King changed color. Vast amounts of precepts and Saint Qi of heaven and earth converged. Nine layers of condensed and vast heavens were formed at an extremely fast speed.

An unspeakable power supplemented the Immovable Wisdom King's Saint Aspect and suppressed heaven and earth.

No matter how the blood waves rolled, they couldn't get close to the Immovable Wisdom King's Saint Aspect. Instead, they gradually calmed down.

Gu Chenzi narrowed his eyes. He hadn't expected Zhang Ruochen's Saint Aspect of Immovable Wisdom King to be so powerful. It was far beyond his expectations.

It was hard to imagine that Zhang Ruochen was still in the Neverwilt Realm.

ROAR!

The Saint Aspect of Immortality let out a low roar. Gathering countless Precepts, he drew strange and unpredictable power from heaven and earth and attacked with a finger.

An extremely terrifying fingerprint appeared. A large number of strange arcane runes interweaved on it. As soon as it appeared, it pierced through space, and all the Fragments of Space melted.

"Blood Nethertouch."

The high-level saint technique of the Fane of Immortality was the most powerful when used by the Saint Aspect. However, the prerequisite was that the Saint Aspect had to be able to withstand the power of this technique.

Once the Blood Nethertouch was used, all souls would turn into a pool of pus and blood. It was extremely vicious. Even if the victim did not die, he would still suffer great pain.

"Incarceration of Divine Demon."

The Immovable Wisdom King Saint Aspect instantly turned into a peerless demon. It had nine heavens above its head and Infernal Court under its feet. It was extremely majestic.

After cultivating the Thirteenth Dragon-Elephant Prajna Palm Strike, Zhang Ruochen spent some time cultivating the fourth level of the Incarceration of Divine Demon. He had also reached the level of the high-level Hundred-shackle saint technique.

Just like the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Palm Strike, the Incarceration of Divine Demon had a clear cultivation method. As long as one could understand its essence and have the foundation of cultivation, he could successfully cultivate it.

Zhang Ruochen's the Immovable Wisdom King Saint Aspect was extremely powerful and when he cultivated the fourth level of the Incarceration of Divine Demon was naturally easy.

Boom

The Blood Nethertouch exploded with a bang. The strange power contained in it flew in all directions.

Several layers of the nine-layered heavens above the Immovable Wisdom King's Saint Aspect were pierced through and a large amount of the Precepts dispersed.

The Immovable Wisdom King's Saint Aspect retreated continuously. He was hit so hard that he couldn't stabilize his body.

Gu Chenzi's Saint Aspect of Immortality was sent flying. He has almost been torn apart.

Under the impact, Gu Chenzi was also hit. His mind trembled. The Qi and blood in him surged even more. He could not help but spit out a mouthful of Saint Blood.

Although Zhang Ruochen was also affected, he stood tall and unmoving. It was clear who was superior.

"Another high-level Hundred-Shackle saint technique. Has Zhang Ruochen just broken through to the Neverwilt Realm?"

"The Neverwilt Realm can cultivate two high-level Hundred-Shackle level saint techniques, and a Saint Aspect can beat Gu Chenzi. What a monster."

"It seems that Lord Xia Yu and Gu Chenzi can not stop Zhang Ruochen from becoming the leader of the Bloodsky Clan. I wonder how strong He would be when he breaks through to the Hundred-Shackle Realm."

"His physique is stronger than Supreme Saint Yi Xuan, his spiritual will is stronger than Lord Xia Yu, and his Saint Aspect is stronger than Gu Chenzi. No wonder Zhang Ruochen is called a peerless genius of a Yuanhui period."

...

No one could remain calm after witnessing an intense battle.

The Three Top Elites of Bloodsky Clan had been defeated by the same person on the same day. Before this, no one had ever thought about it, and no one dared to think about it.

But it happened. So many cultivators had witnessed it with their own eyes. Even the gods were paying attention.

If the news spread, it would cause a huge commotion in the Bloodsky Clan and the entire Immortal Vampires.

Everyone knew that it was not that Lord Xia Yu and Gu Chenzi were not strong, but that Zhang Ruochen was too strong. He was too strong to be judged by common sense.

...
