People in Crypt of Sacred Central were also thrilled after the crown prince edict was issued. A large group of great beings flocked to Sacred City and gathered in Spiritual Mountain, which was engulfed in white mist.
The leader of the Crypt of Sacred Central, Kong Sheng, stood at the top of Spiritual Mountain. He looked into the distance at the war with his green eyes. He said, “They actually dare attack Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion. Don’t they know how heavily guarded Sacred City is?”
Kong Hongbi was standing behind the leader of the Crypt of Sacred Central, wearing blood-red saint jade armor. He snorted, “He’s just overrating his abilities. He’s going to get all the previous officials from Sacred Central Empire killed.”
Kong Hongbi couldn’t be more upset. He spread the rumor in Sacred City to try to get Zhang Ruochen killed by the hands of the imperial government, yet he had never realized Zhang Ruochen was really the crown prince of the Sacred Central Empire.
The Crypt of Sacred Central was put in an awkward position after the crown prince edict was issued.
The crown prince of Sacred Central Empire was the real descendant. If they didn’t follow the edict, some of the officials from the Crypt of Sacred Central would definitely be upset. However, if they followed the edict, that meant they were going to submit to Zhang Ruochen.
If they submitted to Zhang Ruochen, Kong Hongbi would be infuriated.
A senior saint from Crypt of Sacred Central said, “I can understand Zhang Ruochen is reckless as he’s still a young man. That Mingjiang King is almost a thousand years old, yet he’s still following Zhang Ruochen. Don’t they know how powerful the formation in Sacred City is? Don’t they know the cultivation of Lingxiao Heavenly King?”
Wan Huayu stood at the top of the Little Saint G.o.d Mansion. She saw traces of fighting saintly way ripples and whispered, “Zhang Ruochen has decided to make attacks after all. G.o.d knows how many people will be killed this time.”
“Your highness, should we send an army to help Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion?” a silver-haired elder asked.
Wan Huayu shook her and said, “Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion is strong enough to defend itself against everyone. It doesn’t need our help at all. Father isn’t in the mansion, so we need to be extra careful. Turn on the guarding formation to prevent the Sacred soldiers from attacking Little Saint G.o.d Mansion.
Sacred City was a city that had been around for more than one million years. Countless ancient empires established their capital cities here. It was an enormous city that was tens of thousands of square miles in size.
There was a metal formation tower that was more than two thousand feet tall at each of the eighty-one directions of the ancient city.
A voice came out from every formation tower. “The heavenly king has given an order. Turn on the guarding formation of the city and kill the dregs of Sacred City.”
At this moment, the officials and formation masters started to mobilize their saint Qi and mind power to trigger the guarding formation.
Boom!
All the eighty-one metal formation towers gleamed, releasing horrifying power ripples.
The entire city started to shake.
It could be seen in the city that there were eighty-one light spots that were gleaming like eighty-one stars.
Even saints were horrified at this moment.
“Once the guarding formation is turned on, it can kill all the dregs from Sacred City.”
A voice came from Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion. Suddenly, the morale of the soldiers from the imperial government was boosted, and they started to counter-attack the monks from the Sacred.
There would be inevitable bloodshed by attacking Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion.
Meanwhile, some of the previous officials from Sacred Central Empire who had hidden in the imperial government also started to make attacks. There were battles in half of the formation towers.
“The guarding formation has been destroyed. It’s not a threat to us anymore. Let’s go and break the gate of Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion.”
Mingjiang King drew a golden saint sword, and the saint Qi in his body was tumbling. He then wielded his sword.
Howl!
There came a deafening dragon sound.
Followed by the sound were ten dragon phantoms, and each of them was at least ten miles long.
Those were the phantoms of the ten divine dragons.
Boom!
The ground outside the city was cracked by the sword Qi, and the formation underground was also crushed. Sun and Moon Door also started to crack.
Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion used to be the royal palace of Sacred Central Empire, and the guarding formation had been around since the ancient times.
Even with the guarding formation, Sun and Moon Door was stilled cracked, which only showed the power of Mingjiang King’s move.
“Ten Dragon Sword.”
“It’s the sword that belonged to Emperor Ming.”
…
Emperor Ming had four battle weapons in total. They were Eight-dragon Umbrella, Nine-dragon Carriage, Ten Dragon Blade, and Hundred-dragon Emperor Ming Armor.
It was said that Eight-dragon Umbrella, Nine-dragon Carriage, and Ten Dragon Blade were all incredible ten-thousand-patterns saint weapons, and there were eighty thousand, ninety thousand and one hundred thousand inscriptions on those weapons, respectively.
Hundred-dragon Emperor Ming Armor was a supreme saint weapon which dated back to the ancient times. It had tremendous power, and was the greatest true treasure of the royalties.
Mingjiang King was the most talented one out of all Emperor Ming’s siblings, so Emperor Ming gave him Ten Dragon Sword.
Ten Dragon Sword was far superior to other ten-thousand patterns saint weapons, and after Mingjiang King used all his strength to wield it, it shook the guarding formation of the palace. Even the city wall of Sun and Moon Gate started to crack.
“We can only attack Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion after breaking the palace-guarding formation. Where are the people from Guarding Dragon Pavilion? Why aren’t you making a move yet?” Zhang Ruochen yelled.
Whoos.h.!.+
A trace of white light shone in the night.
Everyone in the white light was wearing white robes and astral sky masks.
“Heaven Erosion Finger.”
The Vice Leader formed a fingerprint and pointed forward, performing a saint spell.
There were three levels of saint spells, low-level saint spells, mid-level saint spells and high-level saint spells.
Heaven Erosion Finger was a high-level saint spell, whose power far surpa.s.sed the low-level saint spelled practiced by saints.
The power of Heaven Erosion Finger hit the palace-guarding formation, and millions of traces of light fell as if a G.o.d were making attacks. The light enveloped the entire Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion, which intimidated countless soldiers from the imperial government.
The palace-guarding formation was burnt red by that saint way power.
Part of the power of Heaven Erosion Finger was transmitted to Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion through the guarding formation, blowing up palace after palace and making mountains collapse.
“G.o.d! What kind of power is that? Who has arrived?”
“A high-level saint spell. Definitely a high-level saint spell. Is there a pinnacle saint king among the Sacred dregs?”
…
Only those who had reached the level of pinnacle saint king could perform a high-level saint spell.
Every pinnacle saint king was a prominent being, and his showing up shocked everyone in the battle.
The descendants of Lingxiao Heavenly King weren’t as aggressive as before, as they were all horrified by the power of Heaven Erosion Finger.
After the vice leader performed Heaven Erosion Finger, dozens of members from Guarding Dragon Pavilion made attacks against the guarding formation by wielding their saint weapons.
There were more than thirty saint weapons, and even the weakest one had six thousand inscriptions, and there were three ten-thousand patterns saint weapons.
Every saint weapon was able to destroy an entire city.
Destruction of thousand patterns and destruction of ten thousand patterns intertwined with each other, tearing the guarding formation apart.
Bang!
Sun and Moon Door, one of the eight major doors of Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion, was melted immediately.
The palace-guarding formation was damaged in the battle eight hundred years ago. Although it was repaired by the imperial government, it still couldn’t rival the power from before.
“Guarding Dragon Pavilion does exist! Fantastic!”
Mingjiang King’s eyes gleamed, and he became more ferocious. He rushed through Sun and Moon Door, holding his Ten-Dragon Sword.
Meanwhile, the vice leader released a trace of mind power. “I’ll go deal with Lingxiao Heavenly King.”
And then, the vice leader rushed through the door like a trace of light as well.
After a short while, a battle among saint kings took place, and the light coming out of the saint spells painted the dark sky bright.
“Sun and Moon Door has already been crushed. Let’s go it and avenge our families and friends! Fight for the Sacred! Clear the shame from eight hundred years ago!”
Zhang Ruochen held the battle flag of the Sacred in one hand and Abyss Ancient Sword in the other. He dashed in like an arrow and killed like a maniac as if he were releasing all the hatred he had acc.u.mulated for eight hundred years.
Ghost King Bloodmoon, Le, Monster Ape and Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon were all following Zhang Ruochen, annihilating the monks from the imperial government attacking in all directions.
“You’re that crown prince from the Sacred Central Empire. I’ll kill you today.”
An elder who had reached the state of true saint walked out of Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion. He trampled on the ground, and an earth-shattering power spread, dragging Zhang Ruochen into his battle circle.
The empress didn’t have any descendants, so Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion was the most powerful army for First Central Empire. Many incredible human monks were recruited by Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion.
That elder was one of them.
He had refined for more than five hundred years, which made him someone as powerful as a saint leader of an ancient family.
“You’re nothing. Die!”
Zhang Ruochen released time domain, s.p.a.ce domain, and sword way domain at the same time, dragging that true-saint elder inside the domains.
Boom!
Zhang Ruochen infused the Abyss Ancient Sword with his saint Qi, mobilized the sword intent of Sword Seven, and swung his sword more than thirty times, knocking that elder away and making him bleed everywhere.
Eventually, Zhang Ruochen crushed his saint source and lower abdomen, killing that elder.
The blood of that true saint tainted Zhang Ruochen’s hair and cape red.
“Kill!”
Zhang Ruochen yelled and picked up the corpse of that true saint with his battle flag. He rushed forward as if he were the king of the world.
