Chapter 2520: Battle Against a Deity
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mo Yunduan’s divine power was magnificent, like a s.h.i.+ning star.
Even if the star only flashed for a moment, it had the power to destroy the world and turn everything into ashes.
Zhang Ruochen activated the Armor of the Fire G.o.d to resist the impact of the divine power from Mo Yunduan’s body. Under the immense pressure, he pretended to be calm and did not retreat.
!!
Mo Yunduan was shocked and confused. His tone softened, and he said, “Zhang Ruochen, you are the grandson of WarG.o.d Bloodximius. You will likely be the successor of the Xue Jue family in the future. You are also favored by f.u.kurokuju. You have a bright future ahead of you. Why do you want to tangle with the remnants of Kunlun? Listen to my advice and leave immediately. Draw a clear line with them. I will pretend that I did not see anything.”
Zhang Ruochen knew that humans were greedy. He also knew that he had a grudge against the Fane of Death. They would never let him leave.
It was obvious that Mo Yunduan was afraid of the Intergold Tiger and was testing him.
If he really left immediately, it would prove that he was guilty. The Intergold Tiger wouldn’t be able to use much power. At that time, Mo Yunduan would definitely attack and kill him.
After all, everyone knew that Zhang Ruochen had countless treasures.
Killing Zhang Ruochen was more rewarding than killing a true G.o.d.
Even if Mo Yunduan wanted to let Zhang Ruochen leave because he was afraid of the Intergold Tiger, he would report today’s matter to the Fane of Destiny, making it impossible for Zhang Ruochen to survive in the Infernal Court.
After thinking through all this, a smile appeared on Zhang Ruochen’s face. He said, “I was born in Kunlun and just happened to meet two elders. Can’t I catch up with them? I’m open and honest. Even if you spread this matter, what can you do to me? To be honest, I don’t think much of you, a mere pseudo G.o.d.”
Boom
Mo Yunduan’s eyes darkened, and he released his divine spirits.
The divine clouds around his body let out an earth-shaking explosion, and his divine power swept out.
How dare he!
A mere Hundred-Shackle Realm Supreme Saint dared to speak like this in front of a G.o.d.
Disrespecting a G.o.d was to die.
In Zhang Ruochen’s vision, the divine power containing the aura of death came like a ma.s.sive wave in the divine sea. In front of this huge wave, he was like duckweed on the water’s surface. In an instant, he was about to be crushed into pieces.
“Flowers bloom.”
Granny Begonia silently appeared beside Zhang Ruochen.
A seven-colored begonia flower bloomed in her body. It was brilliant and crimson, blocking the surging divine power.
However, cracks appeared on Granny Begonia’s old face. Her body was like gla.s.s and was about to shatter.
Mo Yunduan didn’t really use his absolute power. It was just a tentative attack.
After the divine power hit, the wounds on Granny Begonia’s face gradually healed and returned to normal. She was as calm as a rock and withered as pine from the beginning to the end.
ROAR!
A tiger’s roar sounded.
Zhang Ruochen’s body shone with golden light. Dense Intergold Precept Marks rushed out.
Within the patterns, the shadow of a tiger was faintly discernible. It released an incredible divine power. With one breath, it could turn into a golden river of divine qi.
Mo Yunduan’s eyelids twitched slightly. His expression became extremely grave. “Great Intergold Tiger, Zhang Ruochen is suspected of betraying the Infernal Court. Are you going to stand on his side and harm the interests of the Infernal Court?”
“I’m not a cultivator from the Infernal Court. What do the interests of the Infernal Court have to do with me? But Zhang Ruochen is my guide. Don’t even think about touching him.” The Intergold Tiger was mighty. His voice echoed in the void.
Mo Yunduan’s face was unpredictable. He thought carefully about the stakes in hand.
Any pseudo G.o.d would feel tremendous pressure when facing a true G.o.d.
Once he made a wrong decision, the result could be deadly.
After a while, Mo Yunduan smiled. “The Great Intergold Tiger has a deep relations.h.i.+p with Great Emperor Fengdu and f.u.kurokuju. How can you not be a cultivator from the Infernal Court? With your guarantee, it seems that Zhang Ruochen and the cultivators of Kunlun are just catching up.”
Intergold Tiger sneered. ‘This Mo Yunduan didn’t dare to take any risks. He was cautious and shameless. He was so well-versed in the ways of the world. No wonder he could obtain a Divinity Source from the Fane of Death and become a pseudo G.o.d.’
Mo Yunduan’s gaze turned to Bai Qing’er. He said coldly, “Xing Luo, the Scion of the Fane of Destiny, has spread the news that a mysterious woman suspected of Ji Fanxin kidnapped Zhang Ruochen and started a ma.s.sacre in the Infernal Court. That so-called Ji Fanxin was you, right?”
Bai Qing’er’s saint Qi had recovered a lot. She looked at Mo Yunduan calmly and said, “So what if it was me?”
“How dare you! A lowly woman from the Enchanteur Chamber dares to stir up trouble in the Infernal Court. Today, I will take your life and report to the Fane of Destiny to destroy all 180 branches of the Enchanteur Chamber. Your dark forces should have been eradicated long ago,” Mo Yunduan said.
Zhang Ruochen despised Mo Yunduan for bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
However, Zhang Ruochen thought about the reason and soon realized it.
Many cultivators knew that Zhang Ruochen and Bai Qing’er had different opinions on the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin. No matter who was lying, the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin must be on one of them.
Mo Yunduan was not stupid. How could he not deduce that the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin was on Bai Qing’er?
His plan was to stabilize Zhang Ruochen and the others, kill Bai Qing’er, and take the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin. That was the most important thing.
“Who are you calling lowly?” said Bai Qing’er.
Bai Qing’er’s eyes turned cold. She opened her fingers, formed a giant Palm of Origin, and pressed it toward Mo Yunduan.
Countless Precepts of Origin formed the handprint. It gave off bright light and broke through the divine cloud. It was obvious that she had activated her Canon of Origin. The power was strong enough to shake the s.p.a.ce where the G.o.d was.
BOOM!
Mo Yunduan laughed sinisterly as he smashed the giant Palm of Origin with one punch.
The fist shadow the size of a mountain smashed through Bai Qing’er’s Light of Origin and made her cough up blood. She was sent flying dozens of miles away like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind.
To be able to block a punch from a G.o.d and not die was a great honor for a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint.
However, Bai Qing’er did not think so. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were filled with determination. She spread her arms, and 65 bronze chimes flew around her body, giving off the sound of waves cras.h.i.+ng against the sh.o.r.e.
On the bronze chimes, another formation inscription completely different from the 10,000 sounds of the Echoes of Heaven Formation appeared.
Following the sound of a cry, a 10,000 feet long green divine bird flew out from the formation. Its entire body was burning with green flames as it flew around Bai Qing’er’s graceful body.
It was a divine bird, the Blue Phoenix.
“It’s another subdivine array. The divine bird Blue Phoenix is derived from the array. It can explode with the attack power of a pseudo G.o.d level,” Blackie growled.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “Why are you so angry?”
“My attainments in the array must be above that of Lady Bai. Unfortunately, my spiritual power is weaker, and I’m not prepared enough for her. She stole the limelight!” Blackie said.
‘At a time like this, it still cared about this?’
Bai Qing’er stepped on the Blue Phoenix, her heroic bearing bursting forth as she attacked again.
Although it was a Blue Phoenix derived from an array formation, the aura and energy undulations of a pseudo G.o.d level were not fake. It caused Mo Yunduan to put away his smile, and his expression was solemn.
“You know nothing about divinity. Even if you can burst out the power of a pseudo G.o.d level through an array formation, in my view, it is only a superficial brute force.”
Mo Yunduan took a war flag down from his back. The war flag expanded with the wind, and gray lightning appeared on the flag’s surface.
The war flag was waved, and lightning surged crazily, pouring out toward the 65 bronze chimes.
Rumble
The terrifying divine power enveloped Bai Qing’er, the Blue Phoenix, and the bronze chimes.
Tens of thousands of gray lightning continuously attacked the array formation, wanting to break it and refine Bai Qing’er to death.
Granny Begonia said, “This is the void. Although Bai Qing’er is an Archsaint Array Master, she can’t mobilize the power of heaven and earth to maintain the operation of the formation. I’m afraid she’ll be defeated soon. Ruochen, what’s your plan?”
If Zhang Ruochen couldn’t stay in the Infernal Court, he could only follow her back to Kunlun. This was what Granny Begonia hoped very much.
However, she cared more about Zhang Ruochen’s thoughts and decisions.
Zhang Ruochen said, “This place is very close to Hoth. Mo Yunduan can only attack in the void without alerting the G.o.ds on Hoth. As a pseudo G.o.d, Mo Yunduan can’t use the power of the Stellar Soul Constellation in the void. Its combat strength will be greatly reduced.”
After refining the Divinity Source and reaching the divinity, a pseudo G.o.d could cultivate a Divine Planet.
“You still want to kill a G.o.d and don’t want to return to Kunlun.” Granny Begonia sighed.
Zhang Ruochen laughed self-mockingly. “Kunlun doesn’t lack a Supreme Saint like me.”
Blackie was extremely excited. “Kill a G.o.d? That’s great! It’s time for me to make a name for myself. I’ll kill a G.o.d and clear the name of the Heaven and Earth Slaughterer. When do I start?”
“We’ll wait a little longer,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Blackie chuckled. “That’s true. We’ll let Lady Bai and Yunduan fight until both are injured. Then we’ll clean up the mess.”
It was unknown when Blackie had the habit of giving people nicknames.
Granny Begonia used her spiritual power to communicate with Xue Lingxian. She clearly hoped to convince him to help Zhang Ruochen.
If Mo Yunduan couldn’t mobilize the power of the Stellar Soul Constellation, they really had a chance to kill the G.o.d.
BOOM!
BOOM!
…
The war flag in Mo Yunduan’s hand struck down again and again. Finally, the bronze chimes arranged in a circle were scattered.
The array was broken.
The phantom of the Blue Phoenix let out a sad cry and turned into wisps of green smoke, disappearing into the void.
Bai Qing’er used the Path of Flowing Light and retreated quickly. Even so, she was still hit by a corner of the war flag. A long wound was cut on her waist.
She was almost cut in half.
She was exhausted. Her face was ashen. She pressed her hand to the wound on her waist.
The wound healed quickly.
“Zhang Ruochen, do you think Mo Yunduan will let you go? If he doesn’t die today, you won’t have a place in the Infernal Court.” Bai Qing’er transmitted her voice to Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen appeared very calm. He said, “It doesn’t matter. If worst comes to worst, I can become the prince consort of Devala. Even the Fane of Destiny can’t force Luo Yan to hand me over, right? From now on, I can still live happily. Isn’t it good to live off a woman? Of course, suppose you are willing to hand over the Tensho Compa.s.s. In that case, I can persuade the two seniors of Kunlun to help you kill Mo Yunduan together.”
“Are you taking advantage of me?” Bai Qing’er was quite angry.
Zhang Ruochen said, “You are a petty woman here! In fact, they are prepared to see you killed by Mo Yunduan before they take the Tensho Compa.s.s. If Lady Bai doesn’t hand over the Tensho Compa.s.s, how can I persuade them to take action in advance?”
“If I want to leave, Mo Yunduan can’t stop me,” Bai Qing’er said.
Zhang Ruochen said, “If you want to leave, we can help Mo Yunduan stop you.”
“Can you be more shameless?”
Bai Qing’er knew that Zhang Ruochen was not joking.
This guy was more scheming than she had imagined. She had underestimated him in the past.
Zhang Ruochen had no choice. Bai Qing’er was too strong. Suppose he wanted to take the Tensho Compa.s.s from her. Even if he, Granny Begonia, Blackie, and Xue Lingxian attacked together, they might fail.
Even the pseudo G.o.d couldn’t stop her if she wanted to leave.
So, he could only force her to hand over the Tensho Compa.s.s.
