Chapter 1556: Power Surged
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Ling Feiyu got more anxious seeing Zhang Ruochen stare at her with a bizarre smile.
It was a weird feeling for her. She hoped that Zhang Ruochen had invoked his memories of the seventh generation, yet she didn’t know how she was going to deal with it. After all, there hadn’t been any emotions between Ling Feiyu and Zhang Ruochen beyond a platonic level before entering ‘Seven Lives and Seven Death Map’.
However, after seven generations, the relations.h.i.+p between them became extremely complicated.
Ling Feiyu was just as emotional as when she first stepped out of the ‘Seven Lives and Seven Death Map,’ yet she still had to pretend to be calm. The man standing in front of her was her mentor, her master, her confidant, her lover, and even her partner for life.
Although everything in the ‘Seven Lives and Seven Death Map’ was an illusion, she could still distinctly remember all that happened.
Ling Feiyu tried to look tough and asked, “Have you recalled what happened in the seventh generation?”
Zhang Ruochen had been observing her the whole time. He smiled and said, “Not yet.”
Ling Feiyu was slightly dazed first, then she looked cold. In the end, she looked a bit sorry and irritated. She scoffed, “Then why did you stare at me for so long?”
Zhang Ruochen stroked his nose, as he felt he was being falsely accused. All he did was to look at her for more a second, and he was sure that he looked at her in an innocent way.
Why was she so mad?
Ling Xiu transmitted his voice to them again. “Come in.”
Ling Feiyu glared at Zhang Ruochen, snorted and walked toward the Demonic Palace.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and followed.
The Demonic Palace was towering, as if it were an ancient beast. They could feel the overbearing power when they walked to the palace.
They walked into the palace, where they saw a circular formation map.
The formation map was divided into five parts, corresponding to the five elements.
The golden spirits origin and the water spirits origin had turned into two rivers, one black and one golden, flowing between two parts.
There was blood that filled the two rivers which looked like human beings’ veins, looking holy.
He’s integrated it with the G.o.dly blood, Zhang Ruochen thought.
Ling Xiu was standing at the top of the Demonic Palace. He asked, “Are you willing to help Feiyu form a Pseudo Five Elements Chaotic Body, Zhang Ruochen?”
“Of course, I am.”
“Are you sure? Don’t have doubts after entering the formation.”
“I’m sure.”
There was no reason for Zhang Ruochen to refuse, given how close he and Ling Feiyu were.
Ling Xiu looked content. He smiled and said, “Then follow my order. Zhang Ruochen, enter the Five Elements Formation and activate it with your Five Elements Chaotic Body first.”
Zhang Ruochen jumped to the center of the Five Elements Formation and opened all his apertures, letting out loads of saint Qi and infusing it into the formation.
Whoos.h.!.+
The inscriptions on the Five Elements Formation started to glow with saint light.
Zhang Ruochen then heard Ling Xiu say, “Use your blood to operate the Five Elements Formation.”
Zhang Ruochen slit his wrist, and his saint blood dripped into the formation, integrating with those inscriptions.
The Five Elements Formation started to move, and the power of Five Elements turned into a five-colored cloud.
Ling Feiyu also walked into the Five Elements Formation, reached out her hands, and touched Zhang Ruochen’s while they were both sitting down gradually.
Whoos.h.!.+
Although Zhang Ruochen kept bleeding, the water from the black river and the golden river kept flooding into Zhang Ruochen’s body, which made up for his loss of blood.
The water spirits origin and the golden spirits origin kept piling up in his body, to the point that Zhang Ruochen wasn’t able to withstand them anymore. He then released some of the power from the two origins into Ling Feiyu’s palms.
With time going by, the water from the golden river and the black river got thinner and thinner, and in the end, they merged with their bodies completely.
Zhang Ruochen’s body was glowing with five-colored light as if it were made of luminous five-colored jade.
Ling Feiyu’s body was also five-colored, but the light coming out of hers was dimmer.
It took Zhang Ruochen and Ling Feiyu a whole day to completely absorb the water spirits origin, golden spirits origin, and the G.o.dly blood, which hugely transformed their body level and body const.i.tution.
Zhang Ruochen’s body level was greatly improved. Each drop of his blood contained tremendous power, and he made a sound of thunder every time he waved his arms.
As for Ling Feiyu, the change was in her body const.i.tution.
“Although I didn’t form the Pseudo Five Elements Chaotic Body, I’m still way stronger than my Four Spirited Treasure Body. I’m a saint king after all, so it’s very difficult to rebuild my body const.i.tution,” Ling Feiyu said.
Zhang Ruochen said, “You’re very close to Pseudo Five Elements Chaotic Body now. It’s only a matter of time.”
“How about you? You’ve absorbed so much G.o.dly blood. How’s your body const.i.tution?” Ling Feiyu asked.
Zhang Ruochen checked his body using his mind power, and then, he found that all one hundred and forty-four of his apertures had become power sources.
However, it was difficult for him to tell how st.u.r.dy his body was.
“Can you take a punch from me?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Ling Feiyu shot him a glare as she realized he wanted to use her to test his body st.u.r.diness.
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, “What? You don’t have the guts to do it?”
“Stop prodding me,” Ling Feiyu said.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “Are you going to do it or not?”
Ling Feiyu stood up and looked at Zhang Ruochen, as she was ready.
Zhang Ruochen moved his arms, making bone-cracking sounds. All his saint apertures glowed with light. Before he even made an attack, forces that could rival Taigu beasts gushed out.
“He’s not weak.”
Ling Feiyu became more careful.
At the next moment, Zhang Ruochen spread his legs, yelled, and swung his fist against Ling Feiyu.
“Impressive indeed.”
Ling Feiyu raised her hand, and a cl.u.s.ter of wind power flowed around her body.
Boom!
Zhang Ruochen felt that he’d hit an iron mountain. He bounced away until he hit the door of the demonic palace.
Ling Feiyu’s body also shook as she took a small step back.
Ling Feiyu was surprised. She asked, “Did you use only your body power?”
“That’s right.”
“How incredible,” Ling Feiyu said.
Ling Feiyu’s cultivation was much more advanced than that of Zhang Ruochen. Even if she didn’t use her sword, she was one of the top-tier third-step saint kings.
Although she didn’t use all her strength, it was still impressive that Zhang Ruochen managed to make her take a small step back using only his body strength, which was something at least a second-step saint king could do.
If he mobilized his saint power and performed fist techniques and palm techniques, it would only be stronger.
He was only a half-step saint king, yet his power was already this strong.
Zhang Ruochen also figured out his power level. He smiled. “It seems my body is ahead of my saintly way now.”
Ling Feiyu was worried that Zhang Ruochen would be complacent, so she said, “The universe is enormous, and there’re countless talents in Heaven World. Among the half-step saint kings on the ‘Saint Merits Rank,’ there’re also creatures who have bodies at your level.”
Zhang Ruochen shrugged his shoulders relaxedly. He just wanted to perfect himself at all levels, so he didn’t care how powerful the others were.
“Could I ask how many drops of blood I’ve absorbed? How many saint stones should I pay you?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Ling Xiu smiled but didn’t answer.
After all, Zhang Ruochen did Ling Feiyu a huge favor, so Ling Xiu would in no way ask for his saint stones.
Ling Feiyu said, “I need lots of saint stones to buy saint medicine of five elements. How about five million saint stones?”
Zhang Ruochen gazed at her and said, “You didn’t even try to sugarcoat it. Do you think I’m a fool in money matters?”
“You offered to be a fool yourself.”
Ling Feiyu paused and said, “Now that Empress Chi Yao distributed her G.o.dly blood to Liku Sacred Domain, the G.o.dly blood belongs to Liku Sacred Domain instead of her. You still get emotional because of her, so of course, I’d reap it.”
It wasn’t easy to get rid of the emotions.
Chi Yao couldn’t get rid of the emotions, which was why she couldn’t become a G.o.d before.
Zhang Ruochen took out five million saint stones and gave them to Ling Feiyu.
Ling Feiyu didn’t looked pleased at all after getting five million saint stones. Instead, she sighed.
And then, Zhang Ruochen took out Yi Emperor Bone Scepter and Buddha sarira and told Ling Xiu what he was thinking about.
Ling Xiu took Yi Emperor Bone Scepter and Buddha sarira. After inspecting them, he smiled. “Not difficult. The Buddha sarira can suppress devils, and before, there was a Martial Deity Print in your forehead, which is used to connect the outer world and your lower abdomen. We can just inlay it in that and draw some inscriptions.”
To mind power supreme saints, it was no big deal, but to Zhang Ruochen, it was an impossible task.
After less than fifteen minutes, Ling Xiu inlaid the Buddha sarira in the forehead of Yi Emperor Bone Scepter and scripted some complicated engravings on it.
The engravings on the bone scepter all turned gold. They looked holy but wicked at the same time, and the two conflicting forces integrated with each other perfectly.
Zhang Ruochen grabbed Yi Emperor Bone Scepter and smiled.
Zhang Ruochen felt a bit pained after giving Ling Feiyu five million saint stones, so he decided to ask Ling Xiu for another favor.
Zhang Ruochen then took out the Abyss Ancient Sword and the purple G.o.dly stone. “Senior Ling Xiu, can you help me with another thing by inlaying this purple stone on the sword?”
The purple G.o.dly stone could greatly improve the power of a monk, so Zhang Ruochen had been wanting to mount it on the Abyss Ancient Sword for a long time.
Ling Feiyu said, “Are you done, Zhang Ruochen? Do you even know how much it costs to ask a mind power supreme saint to help you with something? Are you willing to pay another five million saint stones?”
“Um..?”
Ling Xiu looked curious. He then took up the purple G.o.dly stone in Zhang Ruochen’s hand and started to observe it.
