Chapter 1209: Saint Figure Rune
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
That rugged rune was left to Zhang Ruochen by Taishang Elder before he went to the second level of the endless abyss. The elder claimed that it had tremendous power.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t believe it in the first place. After all, the rune was rugged, and it was nothing like a piece of used paper.
Zhang Ruochen only infused his holy Qi inside to have a try, but he didn’t expect the rune to change.
The red dots on the rune became thicker, and they started to spread.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t know how to use this rune, but there was a trace of consciousness in his head teaching him how to use it.
Zhang Ruochen found out surprisingly that the weird trace of consciousness came from that rune.
The rune seemed to have a life, which merged with the consciousness of Zhang Ruochen.
“Combine.”
Zhang Ruochen bit his finger and drew a blood trace on the rune.
And then, he put the rune on his chest. Hua La! The rune merged with his skin, and there was only a rune character left on his chest.
Peng.
The thickly-dotted red spots gushed out of Zhang Ruochen’s chest, knocking Yue Shuzi away.
Yue Shuzi barely balanced himself, staring at Zhang Ruochen, “So powerful. Where did that come from?”
Yue Shuzi was sure that the power didn’t belong to Zhang Ruochen.
…
Half the body of Chu Siyuan had already caved in the sky. He was only supporting himself with his willpower, otherwise, he would’ve fallen completely.
However, he was already a dead end. He couldn’t fight back at the hierarch wife at all.
The hierarch wife walked toward him, waved her b.l.o.o.d.y wings, looking seductive and forceful. Even the air and light didn’t dare get close to her.
“If you had chosen to stay in Painting Sect, you could’ve stayed alive. Now you’ve meddled with issues in Blood G.o.d Sect,” the hierarch wife said, in a commanding position.
The hierarch wife had already reached the level of saint kings, so when she looked at Chu Siyuan, it was as if she were looking at an ant.
Only those at the same level were qualified to talk to her.
Apparently, Chu Siyuan didn’t have the privilege to talk to her anymore.
Chu Siyuan didn’t look miserable at all. Instead, he laughed and said, “You just made breakthrough one step ahead of me. Winners live. That’s the rule. You might kill me today, but the other great beings from Way of Confucius will definitely kill you one day.”
Chu Siyuan knew that he wouldn’t survive today, but he still looked st.u.r.dy. He stood up straight and glared at the hierarch wife.
Even if he was going to die, he would do that with dignity.
The saints from Blood G.o.d Sect took a look at the back and exclaimed. They admired Chu Siyuan while sighing for the death of Painting Saint.
This was originally the fight between immortal vampires and Blood G.o.d Sect, which had nothing to do with Chu Siyuan, yet he was willing to help the hierarch wife.
Which meant he was a way better person than lots of selfish saints.
“You’re solid.”
The hierarch wife’s eyes gleamed with a sense of killing. She reached out her right hand, and hundreds of bolts of lightning gathered toward her hand, turning into a lightning flood.
Chu Siyuan was about to be killed. Suddenly, someone yelled behind the hierarch wife.
The hierarch wife sensed something. She looked back, dazed.
A giant blood-red human shape stood up from the ground, stepping on the land, yet he was so tall that he could touch the clouds.
The giant human shape was formed by blood-red light spots.
All the saints from Blood G.o.d Sect could also sense that tremendous power, so they all stopped and looked toward that blood-red giant.
“That is… That is the saint figure of Taishang Elder. Did he come back?”
“Taishang Elder is fighting?”
…
All the monks were exhilarated as they believed Taishang Elder was able to solve everything.
Taishang Elder earned the name of ‘Tenth Emperor’ eight hundred years earlier, so even if he was injured, he could still outcla.s.s everyone in the world.
The hierarch wife was also shocked. She had to spin her arms and turn the lightning flood to the blood-red giant.
Zhang Ruochen stood inside the blood-red giant, slapping forward.
The blood-red giant also reached out a palm, pressing forward, disintegrating the lightning blood and knocking the hierarch wife away.
Hong Long.
The hierarch wife was in a fix. She fell onto the ground, cracking it.
Chu Siyuan’s eyes popped as he could see that it was Zhang Ruochen standing inside the blood-red giant, not the tenth emperor.
“Where did that guy get such power?”
Chu Siyuan would rather get killed by the hierarch wife than be saved by Zhang Ruochen. Nor did he want to see such a powerful Zhang Ruochen.
It made no sense.
He was the master of Painting Sect, yet he needed saving by a youngster?
This couldn’t be more humiliating.
The monks who didn’t know the truth would definitely spread the rumor that the master of Painting Sect was crushed by a woman, and that he was eventually saved by the deity of Blood G.o.d Sect.
Chu Siyuan couldn’t be more in pain thinking about that.
The hierarch wife saw the being inside the blood-red giant. She said, “Yan Liren gave you the Saint Figure Rune before he left.”
The giant caved, turning into billions of light spots, gathering on Zhang Ruochen’s palm.
“Suppress.”
Zhang Ruochen growled, pressing down, and light rains fell from the palm.
The hierarch wife looked up, and the entire scene was gone. She could only see the sky pressing toward her, and each light spot looked like a star.
Pu Chi.
The mountains hundreds of square miles around had all been leveled.
The body of the hierarch wife was crushed. She didn’t even have the human shape anymore; she looked like a lump of flesh.
She was severely injured. She drove a b.l.o.o.d.y cloud and flew away, transmitting her voice, “Gu Linfeng, I’ll kill you after I recover and come back to Blood G.o.d Sect.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t chase her because he could feel that the power of Saint Figure Run was declining.
Besides, he didn’t know how powerful the saint king was. He might be crushed by the hierarch wife if he tried to chase her.
After a short while, the power of Saint Figure Rune dissipated, and Zhang Ruochen returned to his original level.
The rune character on Zhang Ruochen’s chest had vanished, yet he could sense that the Saint Figure Rune was still there.
Yue Shuzi was the leader of a state. He was pretty well-informed on this. He said, “You can use the Saint Figure Rune multiple times, but you need to infuse holy Qi into it to wield its power again.”
“Really?”
Zhang Ruochen tried to mobilize the holy Qi inside him and moved it to the chest.
He kept infusing holy Qi into it, yet it was instantly gone as if there were an abyss.
“It must take a long time to fill the Saint Figure Rune again.”
Zhang Ruochen was relieved thinking about this.
He could wield the power of a saint king using Saint Figure Rune, so it definitely required an immense amount of holy Qi.
Saint Figure Rune was a true treasure that was craved by lots of saints.
Once he had a Saint Figure Rune, even truth saints and extreme saints wouldn’t dare cross Zhang Ruochen. If Zhang Ruochen used Saint Figure Rune, they wouldn’t be able to defend themselves.
Chu Siyuan landed on the ground, and he couldn’t look weaker.
Yue Shuzi walked toward him.
When he walked to Zhang Ruochen, Chu Siyuan stood up straight and said, “Great power comes with great responsibilities. Stay on the right track, and if you turn evil, I will…cough…suppress you myself.”
Chu Siyuan coughed out blood because he spoke too loudly.
Zhang Ruochen frowned. He didn’t understand why the elder Chu didn’t show him any grat.i.tude for saving his life.
It was unbelievable.
Chu Siyuan and Yue Shuzi left Blood G.o.d Sect and rushed back for recovery.
Chu Siyuan was severely injured. If he didn’t make it back to heal himself in time, he would have lifelong ailments.
The saints from Blood G.o.d Sect came back and surrounded Zhang Ruochen.
Elder Yuanzhou and Elder Yuanxing gave each other a look, and they led all the other saints to bow to Zhang Ruochen. “Hierarch.”
Saints didn’t need to kneel for anyone. It was already a great feat to make them bow.
Taishang Elder gave Gu Linfeng the Saint Figure Rune because he wanted Gu Linfeng to inherit the hierarch position of Blood G.o.d Sect.
Taishang Elder was a holy being to all the saints. They would have to follow his decision.
Besides, Gu Linfeng’s potential also won the approval from all the saints from Blood G.o.d Sect, so they recognized him as their new hierarch.
