Chapter 2119: The Most Powerful Lord of Stone
On the surface of the Ying Yang Sea, the five Reverends of Bone Clan, under the protection of the copper seal, fled to the back of the Three Emperors of the Bone Clan in a panic.
Although they managed to keep themselves alive, they had also suffered severe injuries to their bones and body. Even the leader, the Eight-armed Reverend had lost three arms. If the Three Emperors of the Bone Clan had been one step slower, they would have been doomed.
The Zangshan Demonic Mirror flew back and hovered in front of Zhang Ruochen. Ripples appeared on the surface of the mirror, reflecting the three Reverends of the Bone Clan within.
AH!
Shrill screams rang out. The three Reverends of the Bone Clan felt like they had fallen into purgatory and were being burned by the demonic fire.
Hearing the screams, the Three Emperors and the escaped five Reverends of the Bone Clan were all furious. They wanted to tear Zhang Ruochen into pieces immediately.
But in the end, they held back and didn’t act rashly. The existence of Dragon Phantom Lord made them felt a great threat.
Through the short collision just now, the Three Emperors of the Bone Clan had truly felt the power of Dragon Phantom Lord. If they landed on True Dragon Island, they wouldn’t be able to gain anything and they might even suffer a great loss.
As Zhang Ruochen poured a powerful Dimensional Power into the Zangshan Demonic Mirror, the screams of the three Reverends of the Bone Clan stopped abruptly.
Shortly, three wisps of Saint Souls flew out of the Zangshan Demonic Mirror and into the Dimensional Bottle that Zhang Ruochen had taken out.
Seeing this, the Eight-armed Reverend immediately roared, “Zhang Ruochen, we Bone Clan will fight you till death.”
He was the leader of the Twelve Reverends of the Bone Clan. Since he had entered True Dragon Island, he had watched seven Reverends killed with his own eyes and couldn’t rescue them. This made him went berserk with hatred.
The Three Emperors of the Bone Clan all exuded a terrifying killing intent. The power of Vajra surged, and the copper seal became as big as a mountain. It was about to crush anything under the sky.
BOOM!
A large area of the sea funneled into a small cavity in the center, creating a vortex. The ocean surged with raging waves.
Zhang Ruochen dared to kill the three Reverends that the Bone Clan had nurtured in front of them. This was an unbridled provocation and an unforgivable insult to the Bone Clan.
Each of the Reverends of the Bone Clan had the apt.i.tude to become a top-notch Supreme Saint, not to mention becoming a G.o.d. This time, they had lost seven Reverends on the True Dragon Island. This was undoubtedly a huge loss.
The Bone Clan had never suffered such a huge loss in many years.
ROAR!
Dragon Phantom Lord roared. His wings flapped slowly, acc.u.mulating vast divine power, and stared fiercely at the Three Emperors of the Bone Clan.
“Zhang Ruochen, let’s fight outside the island,” Emperor s.h.i.+ling said in a low voice.
Zhang Ruochen said lightly, “Why don’t you come to the island and fight me? One-on-one, fight to the death.”
Zhang Ruochen wasn’t stupid. The Three Emperors of the Bone clan were all top-tier powerhouses below the Supreme Saint level. They had the power of Vajra, with cooperation from each other, their combat power could be multiplied. It won’t be easy to deal with the three of them at the same time.
The aura from Emperor s.h.i.+ling surged. Streaks of Vajra’s Seal appeared on the dark golden bone. Terrifying qi enveloped Zhang Ruochen. It seemed like he was really going to attack.
Zhang Ruochen were calm. He held the Ancient Abyssal Blade in his hand. Countless Time and s.p.a.ce Marks surrounded him. It made him feel like he was in another time and s.p.a.ce.
Whoos.h.!.+
Zhang Ruochen waved the Ancient Abyssal Blade and slashed out casually.
Many Time and s.p.a.ce Marks merged into the sword’s ray, distorting the s.p.a.ce and time in a small area. It then shattered, revealing a pitch-black void s.p.a.ce.
Seeing this, Emperor s.h.i.+ling attacked immediately. Using the power of Vajra, he condensed an unparalleled fist print that shattered the s.p.a.ce and met the sword ray.
The power of Vajra was said to be invincible. When used with the strength of Emperor s.h.i.+ling, it was enough to shatter the top-tier Thousand-Inscription Sacred Artifact.
Crack
Incredibly, the Vajra fist mark was cut in half by the sword’s ray.
Although most of the sword’s rays were destroyed by the Vajra fist mark, it continued to strike Emperor s.h.i.+ling.
BANG!
Emperor s.h.i.+ling suddenly punched out and shattered the faint sword’s ray.
However, during this process, several Marks of Time entered Emperor s.h.i.+ling’s body.
Emperor s.h.i.+ling let out a m.u.f.fled groan. His aura fluctuated slightly and it seemed he had suffered a little.
As his attainments in the Path of Time improved, Zhang Ruochen’s use of the Power of Time had undoubtedly become more subtle. Even if he had the power to fight against the nine Path of the Ancients, he might not be able to resist it.
The Three Emperors of the Bone Clan were overwhelming. If they worked together, they would be able to defeat Son of Darkness. But if they were alone, they were slightly weaker and Zhang Ruochen was not afraid of them.
“I look forward to seeing you on the island again.” With these words, Zhang Ruochen rode on Dragon Phantom Lord and left.
The battle could not continue, so there was no need to waste time here.
It was a pity that the Three Emperors of the Bone Clan had interfered and prevented him from exterminating all the Reverends of the Bone Clan.
“d.a.m.n Zhang Ruochen. I will not share the same sky as you.” the Eight-armed Reverend howls angrily at the sky.
The other four Reverends were all silent and they were all feeling gloomy.
The Twelve Reverends of the Bone Clan were once well-known. Their names spread throughout the Infernal Court and the Celestial Court. Once they appeared, even the top-tier cultivators below the Supreme Saint level had to retreat. It was glorious indeed.
But now, all the glory was gone. They had become stepping stones for Zhang Ruochen, Blackie, and the others to rise. It was unfortunate.
“Everyone underestimated The Scion of Time and s.p.a.ce’s potential and let him grew stronger. It’s hard to keep him in check. Soon, he might be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Yan Wushen,” Emperor s.h.i.+ling said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Emperor Lieyan and Emperor Mieyuan both exude very stiff auras.
If Zhang Ruochen reached Yan Wushen’s level, the Three Emperors might not stand a chance against him even if they joined forces.
Now, they had to recognize Saint Monk Xumi’s scion was indeed a great enemy of the Infernal Court. His growth speed was so terrifying that even the Infernal Court couldn’t make a move.
It didn’t take long for True Dragon Island to regain its peace. The top cultivators of the Infernal Court were all wiped out.
At the same time, the armies of several ancient civilizations and the Celestial Dragon Realm also withdrew from True Dragon Island. Huge battles.h.i.+ps stood on the surface of the sea, riding the wind and breaking the waves.
Currently, several ancient civilizations and the Celestial Dragon Realm suffered a lot of losses, mainly caused by the mysterious and unpredictable Mojo.
During the eruption of divine power on True Dragon Island, Mojo’s true form was activated and he commands the creepy children to attack many of the top-cultivators from all sides.
However, compared to the Infernal Court, this little loss of theirs was nothing.
BOOM!
Outside the main building of Dragon Temple, an intense battle was going on.
Both Lord of Sword and Mojo were in a fierce battle. They were fighting with all their strength as if only one of them could be the victor.
Lord of Sword held his sword in his hand, and the sword shone so brightly it spread throughout the nine heavens. It was unstoppable.
Mojo released many of its tentacles, each of which could extend infinitely to pierce or entangle. At the same time, he released a terrifying spiritual power, trying to drown out Lord of Sword’s will.
Wah Wah!
Thousands of creepy children gathered around Mojo. All of them let out ear-piercing cries, which manifest into a terrifying phenomenon of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Thousands of miles away, Zhang Ruochen and Dragon Phantom Lord restrained their auras and combined them with the surrounding s.p.a.ce to hide from plain sight perfectly.
“Mojo has obtained a lot of children this time. His power will increase greatly. I’m afraid Lord of Sword will be in trouble.” said Dragon Phantom Lord with worrisome.
Zhang Ruochen could see that although Lord of Sword was strong, he was still at a disadvantage against Mojo and his army of creepy children.
Even so, Lord of Sword did not show any intention of retreating. Instead, his fighting spirit rose in high.
Zhang Ruochen had a thought and said, “It seems that Lord of Sword wants to achieve a big breakthrough by fighting with Mojo. These two are fighting so hard that Lord of Stone has yet to reveal himself.”
Dragon Phantom Lord was silent for a moment, he said, “The body of Lord of Stone is a unique stone. It has bathed in the blood of many G.o.ds. Therefore, its born-with intelligence is very chaotic. In fact, the Lord of Elixir and I have the same problem. So, most of the time, we are in a deep slumber.
“Only Lord of Sword and Mojo are special. Lord of Sword inherited the will of the sword G.o.d from Kunlun Realm, and Mojo inherited the will from the G.o.d of The Fane of Darkness. Therefore, their intelligence is untainted. The fight between them is presumably the continuation of the war of G.o.ds during the Middle Ages.
“And I was able to fuse the chaotic spiritual intelligence into one body because I was attacked by master’s treasure.”
For Dragon Phantom Lord, being suppressed by the G.o.d-Defiance Stele was actually a blessing in disguise.
Only with pure spiritual intelligence could there be hope to improve and become stronger.
Hearing this, a thought came into Zhang Ruochen’s mind. He knew that Dragon Phantom Lord was formed from four types of divine force. Each type of divine force contained a terrifying will, and it was difficult to truly fuse them.
Lord of Elixir was formed from part of the Emperor Grade Sacred Pill’s essence. However, during the process, he must have been eroded by the divine force of darkness. The spiritual intelligence that was born could not be pure either.
“Let’s go find the Lord of Stone,” Zhang Ruochen said suddenly.
Dragon Phantom Lord was stunned at first, then a sudden realization flashed into his mind. He vaguely guessed Zhang Ruochen’s plan.
Without hesitation, Dragon Phantom Lord sets off. He knew exactly where Lord of Stone’s nest was located.
After bypa.s.sing the battlefield between Lord of Sword and Mojo, Zhang Ruochen and Dragon Phantom Lord entered the main building of Dragon Temple.
Dragon Temple used to be sacred and glorious. It had attracted countless cultivators to make pilgrimages. But now, it was dilapidated and in ruins.
Lord of Stone was very similar to Mojo in a way. They had built their nests underground. The nests didn’t have any tunnels because they could move through the earth at will.
If someone tried to break in, they would be alerted immediately.
However, this wasn’t a problem for Zhang Ruochen.
He used Great Dimensional s.h.i.+ft and sneaked into the underground s.p.a.ce with Dragon Phantom Lord.
The layout of the underground s.p.a.ce was straightforward. Although it was dark, Zhang Ruochen still locked onto Lord of Stone’s location.
Lord of Stone was sitting cross-legged on an ancient stone platform. His eyes were closed and his breath was steady. He didn’t seem to notice anything around him.
Zhang Ruochen had an idea, he took out the G.o.d-Defiance Stele, activated his own Percepts, and inserted them into some of the ancient texts on the stele. Then he suppressed Lord of Stone with it.
Zhang Ruochen had suppressed Dragon Phantom Lord and Lord of Elixir one after another. It was no doubt that he was very experienced.
The moment Zhang Ruochen attacked, Lord of Stone suddenly opened his eyes. A terrifying murderous aura burst out from his body. The majestic power of the Supreme Saint was released.
“Suppress him.” Zhang Ruochen growled. He held the broken G.o.d-Defiance Stele with his hand and walked forward.
Wherever he went, the murderous aura and the power of the Supreme Saint that was charging at him dissipated and returned to nature.
This was the power of the G.o.d-Defiance Stele. It could eliminate the power of the Path and Divine Path.
Zhang Ruochen had heard from the Divine Sky-connecting Tree’s saplings that the G.o.d-Defiance Stele had a shocking origin. It seemed to come from the Celestial Court and was considered taboo. If anyone finds out, it would be a huge problem.
Lord of Stone’s eyes shone with a terrifying light. Like two sharp knives, it was extremely fierce. He suddenly punched out, gathering the power of a Supreme Saint and hitting the G.o.d-Defiance Stele.
BANG!
A terrifying power spread out, sending Zhang Ruochen and the G.o.d-Defiance Stele flying at the same time.
Zhang Ruochen was shocked by what happened, he thought. ‘Just how strong was Lord of Stone to resist the power from the G.o.d-Defiance Stele?’
He had known for a long time that although the G.o.d-Defiance Stele was amazing, how powerful it could be had a lot to do with his cultivation and strength.
Even if the G.o.d-Defiance Stele had the G.o.d-defying power, it wasn’t something he could use right at present.
“Kill!” Lord of Stone growled. His body exuded a monstrous killing intent.
At this moment, Lord of Stone was like an Ashura that had walked out of infernal. He was extremely dangerous.
It was obvious that the surprise attack had fully enraged Lord of Stone. He was filled with a desire to kill.
Now that Zhang Ruochen finally saw Lord of Stone’s form clearly. He was three meters tall and had six arms. His entire body was chartreuse and many strange patterns formed and appeared faintly as if it was natural.
“Lord of Stone’s true form is actually an AzureTerra Stone!” Zhang Ruochen exclaimed.
AzureTerra Stone was one of the most precious stones in the world. Only a great world with a strong origin could crystalize one. If it fell into the hands of a G.o.d, it could be turned into a small world.
For example, the nine Realm Seals refined by Empress Chi Yao had AzureTerra Stone added to them.
AzureTerra Stone was the hardest stone. Even a G.o.d couldn’t break it.
Seeing Lord of Stone pounce on him, Zhang Ruochen quickly inserted all of his Percepts into the ancient texts on the G.o.d-Defiance Stele.
BANG!
Lord of Stone’s fist hit the G.o.d-Defiance Stele again. Zhang Ruochen took a step back, but he managed to block it.
Such strong force. If it were any stronger, even the G.o.d-Defiance Stele wouldn’t be able to suppress it,’ Zhang Ruochen thought.
Dragon Phantom Lord was also shocked. It hadn’t fought with Lord of Stone for a long time and hadn’t expected Lord of Stone to be so powerful. Lord of Stone could be considered the strongest of the five overlords.
Fortunately, Lord of Stone’s intelligence was chaotic and came from the will of different divine blood. It kept resisting, causes Lord of Stone to fall into a deep sleep. Otherwise, the other four overlords might be in big trouble.
Lord of Stone kept attacking. He was not willing to be suppressed by the G.o.d-Defiance Stele. However, as time pa.s.sed, his own power of the Supreme Saint was being eliminated. It was difficult to shake the G.o.d-Defiance Stele anymore.
Just as Zhang Ruochen was about to suppress Lord of Stone in one go, Lord of Stone transformed into his original form. It was a mysterious AzureTerra stone with a diameter of nearly one meter.
Even G.o.ds would fight against such a huge AzureTerra stone.
Zhang Ruochen fixed his eyes on Lord of Stone’s true form. He couldn’t help but freeze.
The AzureTerra Stone in front of him was branded with six mysterious divine marks. Each of them was completely different. They all emitted strange divine light and interweaved to form a special s.h.i.+eld.
Even when the G.o.d-Defiance Stele was pressed on it, the protection barrier formed of divine light didn’t disappear.
Of course, this did not mean that the G.o.d-Defiance Stele had lost its function. It was just that this function had been greatly weakened and was unable to truly harm Lord of Stone’s base form.
“Lord of Stone’s ambition is so great. He has already completely absorbed the divine blood of the six G.o.ds and inherited many techniques of the six G.o.ds. When the six G.o.ds’ will fuse with the shattered Lord of Stone’s will, his cultivation will definitely reach to an astonis.h.i.+ng level,” Dragon Phantom Lord exclaimed.
But then Dragon Phantom Lord shook his head and said, “How can the wills of the G.o.ds be easily shattered and fused? Especially the wills of the six G.o.ds. If Lord of Stone does this, it’s likely that he won’t be able to recover.”
Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen realized something and said. “A technique belonging to the G.o.ds? No wonder you can resist the G.o.d-Defiance Stele. But how long can you resist it?”
He had decided to fight Lord of Stone to the end to see who could outlast the other.
