Chapter 1279: Break the Ice
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron was floating in front of the iceberg. It kept spinning like a small mountain.
Hong Long.
Qi Sheng, Motian Crown Prince and Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon kept using their attack techniques, saint spells, saint weapons. They clashed with the golden ancient characters, but they couldn’t knock the ancient characters away, not to mention touch Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron.
Behind Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron, Zhang Ruochen seized this chance to swallow a spring pill. He then moved to the iceberg and pressed down.
Two cl.u.s.ters of divine fire gushed out of his palms, which melted the icebergs.
“Wait till I save you both.”
Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen gave each other a look. One of them was outside, while the other was trapped in the iceberg. They got closer and closer as if time had been frozen at this moment.
“That girl following Huang Yanchen has an enormous amount of power, and the silver knife she holds in her hand is an invincible weapon. If we let her out and she teams up with Zhang Ruochen, we might lose control of the situation.”
Motian Crown Prince looked worried. He tried to control Emperor-killing Demonic Sword, slas.h.i.+ng the golden ancient characters.
Ying Huo said, “That blue cauldron looks a bit weird; even my mind power is suppressed by it. It seems that it has sacrificial power.”
Qi Sheng could tell that the blue cauldron was extraordinary. Ordinary attacks skills couldn’t damage it at all. He said, “Help me use the original power of the G.o.d-kill Cross s.h.i.+eld.”
“Okay.”
Ying Huo pointed forward, and her mind power gushed out. And then, blood-red light rain was spilled.
The light rain came into contact with the G.o.d-kill Cross s.h.i.+eld, and it soaked in. After a while, there was a water-flowing sound in the cross s.h.i.+eld.
Meanwhile, Qi Sheng pressed forward and wielded two holy Qi blood pillars which infused with the G.o.d-Kill Cross s.h.i.+eld.
Hua La!
The original power of the G.o.d-Kill Cross s.h.i.+eld was activated, forming a cl.u.s.ter of thick blood-red clouds, which filled the ice hole and clashed with the golden ancient characters.
The s.p.a.ce was cut into halves. On one side, blood Qi was tumbling, and on the other, there was golden light s.h.i.+ning.
Both powers were extremely strong. As for the other saints, Motian Crown Prince and White Li Prince both performed defense techniques to protect themselves from the after-waves of the G.o.d-killing Cross s.h.i.+eld.
Beside Sky-swallowing Demonic dragon was a saint beast that had turned into human form. It had an enormous body with muscles everywhere. It looked greedy and said, “It can rival the G.o.d-kill Cross s.h.i.+eld. Is that blue cauldron a G.o.dly remains ancient weapon like the G.o.d-kill Cross s.h.i.+eld?”
There were four levels of saint weapons: hundred-patterns saint weapons, thousand-patterns saint weapons, ten-thousand-patterns saint weapons, and supreme saint weapons.
G.o.dly remains ancient weapons were weapons used by G.o.ds before, and they had the power of G.o.ds. They didn’t belong to the four categories of saint weapons. If a monk could use a G.o.dly remains ancient weapon, it could exert a power that could rival a supreme saint weapon.
Even a top-tier sect like Yin and Yang Sect didn’t have a supreme saint weapon.
The value of a G.o.dly remains saint weapons might rival that of a supreme saint weapon, but they were almost at the same level. Some of the G.o.dly remains ancient weapons were supreme saint weapons themselves.
Everyone would be tempted by a G.o.dly remains ancient weapon.
“There’re only a few G.o.dly remains ancient weapons. All of them have great fame, and they are controlled by the most top-tier powers. The blue cauldron brought by Zhang Ruochen has never been heard of, and there are no records of it. Did he find it in the Yin and Yang Ocean?”
“Zhang Ruochen has more than just a blue cauldron. If we can kill him, we can get everything he has,” Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon said.
Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon teamed up with the last surviving saint beast from Ancestral Dragon Mountain, Mang s.h.i.+si, to activate the original savage barren forces, hitting the blue cauldron.
Mang s.h.i.+si was ranked in fourteenth place in the Savage bull race. Before Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon had become a saint, it had protected Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon.
Not long ago, Mang s.h.i.+si had reached Absolute Ground Realm and became a top-tier great being. It would definitely be ranked higher when it went back to the savage bull race.
The G.o.d-kill Cross s.h.i.+eld and Ancestral Dragon Scale were wielded at the same time, knocking away the golden ancient characters. They fell like thousands of stars.
Hong Long.
The G.o.d-kill Cross s.h.i.+eld and Ancestral Dragon Scale clashed with Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron, shaking it fiercely and knocking it toward the iceberg.
“Zhang Ruochen, you’re so going to die this time.”
Even Ying Huo was sure that Zhang Ruochen would be killed this time.
Under the pressure of two G.o.dly remains ancient weapons, any life under a true saint would be annihilated. Even true saints might not be able to take it.
The iceberg was completely melted. Zhang Ruochen grabbed Huang Yanchen with one hand and Qing Mo with the other. He performed spatial move to dodge the attack from the two G.o.dly remains ancient weapons.
Hua.
Zhang Ruochen’s hair waved, and he moved his mind. Sword intent gushed out of the sword. He wielded the Ancient Abyss Sword to attack Qi Sheng on the stone bridge.
“No.”
Qi Sheng was using the G.o.d-kill Cross s.h.i.+eld. He didn’t expect Zhang Ruochen to rescue Huang Yanchen and Qing Mo that quickly. It was too late to retract the G.o.d-kill Cross s.h.i.+eld to defend himself.
“Six Law Universe.”
The six wings on Qi Sheng’s back let out six different powers, which formed a huge whirlpool. There were powers of wind, fire, and thunder in the whirlpool.
Six Law Universe was one of the best trump cards of Qi Sheng. It was as if there were six peerless great beings making attacks at the same time. He was able to crush a group of people at the same level. Even monks who were several levels higher than him couldn’t break that technique.
The Ancient Abyss Sword clashed with the six powers, and the sword light surged. The blade kept shaking and made ear-piercing sounds.
Peng. The Ancient Abyss Sword broke the Six Law Universe and hit Qi Sheng’s chest.
“How incredible Zhang Ruochen is.”
Qi Sheng became tense, yet he didn’t panic. He activated the power of Ten Saints Blood Armor to ward off the power of the Ancient Abyss Sword.
The ten saint shadows around the Ten Saints Blood Armor crumbled at the same time. Qi Sheng spat out blood and was knocked away.
Ying Huo showed up behind Qi Sheng to resolve the power from the Ancient Abyss Sword.
She was thrilled by how powerful Zhang Ruochen was. Qi Sheng had never been defeated by monks who were at the same level, yet he wasn’t able to ward off the strike from Zhang Ruochen. If the immortal vampires knew about it, everyone would be shocked.
Ying Huo heard a blood-curdling scream, and he looked to the left.
Something else happened?
A silver knife hit the chest of Mang s.h.i.+si, and it pierced through its chest. It severely injured the saint beast at the Absolute Ground Realm. Its blood spilled.
Actually, Qing Mo had wanted to kill Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon, yet Mang s.h.i.+si warded the attack off for it.
Ancestral Dragon Mountain suffered a huge blow this time. Twelve saint beasts had entered Yin and Yang Ocean, yet only Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon and Mang s.h.i.+si were still alive. Most of the saint beasts were killed by Zhang Ruochen, so naturally, Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon hated Zhang Ruochen’s guts.
Zhang Ruochen sent Huang Yanchen into the mercury gourd for her to recover. He then held Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron, and the golden ancient characters floated into the sky.
Among the tens of thousands of golden ancient characters condensed a huge Emperor Ming phantom, which was giving out holy light. It pressed toward all the saints on the stone bridge with a palm that was as large as a mountain.
Motian Crown Prince was holding Emperor-kill Demonic Sword. He looked up and said, “What kind of a weapon is that? It seems that it’s stronger than the G.o.d-kill Cross s.h.i.+eld.”
“I need to ward off the blue cauldron. You guys, attack Zhang Ruochen with your greatest techniques.”
Ying Huo wielded a token, which surged and clashed with Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron.
That token was called Thousand Beast Treasure Mirror, which was one of the most mysterious ancient weapons from the Immortal Temple. There were ten thousand beasts sealed inside. Not just normal savage beasts were sealed, but also powerful saint beasts.
Thousand Beast Treasure Mirror became larger and larger, and it turned into a metal tombstone that was more than five hundred feet tall. There were hundreds of beast engravings on its surface, and there were deafening roaring sounds coming from the inside.
Hundreds of beast shadows showed up, warding off the golden handprint from the top.
No wonder she’s the Immortal G.o.ddess. She’s indeed impressive, Zhang Ruochen thought.
Ying Huo smiled really seductively. She blinked and said, “Zhang Ruochen, you’re nothing compared to me even when you’re at your prime. Do you really think you can take my strikes after being injured so badly?”
In another direction, Qi Sheng, Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon, and Motian Crown Prince were all mobilizing their power, trying to kill Zhang Ruochen with a great strike.
“We can’t just wait.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t step back. He performed spatial move and showed up beside the stone bridge. He rushed toward Ying Huo.
Ying Huo knew that Zhang Ruochen could mobilize the power of time. She didn’t dare let him get close. She performed a ghostly body technique, and she immediately stepped back.
“Where’re you going?”
Zhang Ruochen knew that Ying Huo was a great threat, so he wanted to kill her.
Both of them were extremely fast and kept changing their directions. There were dozens of shadows on the stone bridge. Ying Huo was indeed impressive. She was only a mind power monk, yet she could fight Zhang Ruochen two hundred feet away from him.
Zhang Ruochen tried everything in his power, yet he couldn’t take her down.
Qi Tian and Motian Crown Prince joined the fight also. They warded off Zhang Ruochen’s attacks as they were worried that Ying Huo might be killed by him. Zhang Ruochen was too powerful today. He had killed more than ten saints, and all of them were powerful great beings.
Such an accomplishment would definitely be thrilling to everyone in First Central Empire. Zhang Ruochen would be revered by the human saints.
Just as Zhang Ruochen was fighting the three immortal vampire great beings, Qing Mo looked to a cage nearby. She was shocked.
“That… fire…”
A black bird that was the size of a palm started to gleam with light spots. They were like sparks coming out of coal.
