Chapter 1404: Two Supreme Saints
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
“Elder Yan, you are joking! If they dared to attack Peakless Mountain, they would clearly be provoking us. For the dignity of the Demonic Sect, how could I forgive them easily?”
s.h.i.+ Qianjue understood that the Fire Tribe was using the Moon-Wors.h.i.+p Demonic Sect to fight the Sacred followers. But the headquarters of the Demonic Sect definitely wouldn’t have the Fire Tribe fight them, so the Demonic Sect had to do it themselves.
The Fire Tribe elder bowed and stepped back.
“Zhang Ruochen,” s.h.i.+ Qianjue said, “are you still not retreating?”
“I won’t.”
Even faced with a Supreme Saint, Zhang Ruochen was still decisive.
“Whatever. Today, I will teach you a lesson in Emperor Ming’s place.”
At that moment, the Crazy Alcoholic and Gu Songzi streaked forward like two blurs. They reached the vicinity of the second layer of defensive formations.
The Crazy Alcoholic didn’t seem bedraggled at all. Instead, he was extremely fierce as he yelled, “s.h.i.+ Qianjue, as the leader of the Demonic Sect, you should protect the safety of each disciple. But you negotiated with the Fire Tribe and divine tree. You’re actually forcing a Saintess to marry an outsider. Since when did the Moon-Wors.h.i.+p Demonic Sect start needing to sacrifice a Saintess to stabilize our status and expand our power? Our teacher’s reputation was all ruined in your hands.”
The Crazy Alcoholic’s voice was resonant and spread into every Demonic Sect disciples’ ear.
Some of the disciples had the same thoughts as the Crazy Alcoholic. They were filled with anger but didn’t dare say it out loud.
Of course, some other disciples thought that the Crazy Alcoholic was too outrageous.
“Where did this crazy old man come from? He dares to insult the sect leader. Does he not want to live anymore?”
“You don’t even know him? He’s a famous figure of the Demonic Sect, the sect leader’s junior brother, Feng Zuisheng. He’s so many generations above you and you dare to call him a crazy old man?”
…
Hearing the Crazy Alcoholic’s insults, the Moon-Wors.h.i.+p Demonic Sect showed slight signs of inner conflict.
A very old elder said, “When the previous sect leader was alive, the Saintesses had very high statuses. They were true Saintesses. After s.h.i.+ Qianjue became the sect leader, the Saintesses became tools for him to bribe people and expand his power. What difference do they have with prost.i.tutes? I couldn’t stand this trend for a long time. Since Senior Uncle Feng is returning, please bring justice for everyone.”
“Nie Beifeng, you dare doubt the sect leader? Do you want to rebel?”
Ye Xiaoxiang, the palace leader of the Night Palace walked out of thin air.
Her figure flashed and she cut down with her sword. She beheaded the Demonic Sect elder who’d just spoken, leaving blood all over the ground.
Seeing this, the anger in the Crazy Alcoholic’s eyes grew even fiercer.
“Haha, haha.”
A bright laugh filled the air.
A handsome figure appeared on the horizon, walking on the water.
The Furnace Plains were vast, but under this young figure’s feet, there were miles of blue waves. It was like the sea had followed him over.
The blue-robed cultivator stood at the top of the waves with his hands behind his back. “Indeed, the Saintess of the Moon-Wors.h.i.+p Demonic Sect sounds glamorous, but they’re actually the most pitiful group of women in the world.”
Ye Xiaoxiang stood under s.h.i.+ Qianjue and looked at the blue-robed man on the waves. “Luo Xu,” she said coldly. “You dare to come to Peakless Mountain? What benefits did Zhang Ruochen give you for you to be willing to come die?”
Zhang Ruochen was also surprised. He didn’t expect for Luo Xu to come.
There were thousands of miles of waves under Luo Xu’s feet, like a large lake. The water wasn’t a spell. It was formed by his Rules of Saintly Way.
From this, it was clear that Luo Xu’s cultivation was probably at the Saint King Realm.
Luo Xu’s eyes were a bit dazed. “Benefits? No benefits in the world can tempt me. However, 200 years ago, I had my biggest regret here. Today, 200 years later, I don’t wish for the tragedy to repeat itself. Zhang Ruochen, you won’t blame me for coming uninvited, right?”
“I am more than grateful for Senior Luo coming to aid me,” Zhang Ruochen said.
“s.h.i.+ Qianjue,” Gu Songzi said. “You’ve reached the Supreme Saint Realm and no one here is your match one on one. But we have so many strong figures here. If we activate the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron together, can you still stop us?”
“Once the second layer of the defensive formation is broken, at least half of the Demonic Sect disciples will lose protection,” the Crazy Alcoholic said. “How many disciples will be killed from a Saint battle?”
A long laugh came from s.h.i.+ Qianjue. “You’ll never know how miraculous the Supreme Saint Realm is before you reach it. What can you do to me, even if I walk out of the defensive formation?”
The Spiritual Qi shook violently. Then a tall figure dressed in a robe flew out of the mountain defensive formation and stood at the same height as the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron.
s.h.i.+ Qianjue seemed to be around 50 years old. His robe was like black steel. Layers of demonic clouds hung above his head. He looked like an overbearing demon lord.
“Mighty Sect Leader, undefeatable in the world, lord of the five regions.”
“Mighty Sect Leader, undefeatable in the world, lord of the five regions.”
…
The cultivators of the Demonic Sect all bowed respectfully at s.h.i.+ Qianjue. Even some of the guests to the banquet knelt too.
That was the spiritual pressure a Supreme Saint gave Saints.
It was like how commoners instinctively knelt down before an emperor.
“No.”
The Saints of the Sacred all faltered when they saw s.h.i.+ Qianjue appear near the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron.
Under Zhang Ruochen’s guidance, they used all their might to send Holy Qi into the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron.
Whoos.h.!.+
Many ancient golden words flew out of the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron.
However, s.h.i.+ Qianjue was a step faster. He extended an arm. A demonic hand formed by Rules of Saintly Way slapped down on the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron, sending it flying.
The Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron lost control. It flew to the horizon, transforming into a tiny black dot before disappearing completely.
“Great! How will those Sacred rebels counter a Supreme Saint without the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron?”
Qiu Yu and the Fire Tribe cultivators all smiled.
s.h.i.+ Qianjue was definitely a domineering hero who killed decisively. After sending the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron flying, he activated his Holy Qi again, forming a black demonic ball between his hands.
The ball’s light was extremely deep, like a black hole that could swallow all the energy in the world.
“Zhang Ruochen, I gave you a chance before, but you didn’t treasure it. In that case, you and the old followers of the Sacred will all die here.”
s.h.i.+ Qianjue pressed his hands down.
The black demonic ball started falling down.
In that instant, the plains under Peakless Mountain were sealed with ice, turning into a place of death.
Heavenly King Douzhan was already at the peak of the Saint King Realm. Now, he inhaled sharply. “A Supreme Saint’s casual attack is ten times stronger than me.”
“I’m finally witnessing a Supreme Saint attack,” a Saint said. “Is this really power that a human can unleash? Even the legendary G.o.ds aren’t this strong, right? Even standing at the top of Mount Tianmu, I feel immobilized.”
Mu Lingxi was extremely worried. She bit her lip with her pretty teeth and tasted blood.
Ling Feiyu stood up straight and clenched her fists. “Zhang Ruochen, Zhang Ruochen,” she uttered. “You must have a hidden card, right?”
Qiu Yu nodded. The smile in his eyes grew heavier. “As expected from a Supreme Saint. This one strike could probably wipe out half of the Sacred rebels!”
The various Saints at the top of Mount Tianmu all had different expressions. Some were worried, some proud, some anxious, and some had gleeful smiles.
Just then, a large crack opened up on the ground. A divine hand reached out.
This divine hand was hundreds of feet long, like a five-fingered cloud. It crashed against the demonic ball that fell from the sky. Instantly, rings of energy rippled out in all directions. It even caused the second layer of the defensive formation to tremble.
A Supreme Saint’s attack was actually blocked.
All the cultivators on Peakless Mountain were dumbfounded. It was like time had stopped.
Boom.
Kaboom.
…
Then the divine battle corpse walked out of the crack in the ground. The large body stood on the vast field and roared in s.h.i.+ Qianjue’s direction.
The Death Zen Elder sat cross-legged on the divine battle corpse’s head. He shone with brilliant Buddhist light.
“That’s the Death Zen Elder. How can that be the Death Zen Elder?”
“Why is the Death Zen Elder helping Zhang Ruochen? With his status, he probably won’t be moved no matter what Zhang Ruochen offers him.”
The Death Zen Elder’s appearance was beyond everyone’s expectations.
s.h.i.+ Qianjue was clearly a bit taken aback too. “Death Zen, you dare to go against the Moon-Wors.h.i.+p Demonic Sect? This isn’t a wise choice.”
“Amitabha! I owe Sir Zhang, so I will naturally help him today,” the Death Zen Elder said.
On Mount Tianmu, Qiu Yu’s eyes narrowed. He seemed to have figured something out. “I see. Zhang Ruochen is the true mastermind. He’s the one who killed millions of Fire Tribe members. Die, he must die.”
“The Death Zen Elder has nothing against the Fire Tribe. There’s no way he would offend us. It must be Zhang Ruochen.”
A Saint Elder of the Fire Tribe put his hands together and bowed toward the south. “The Death Zen Elder and Zhang Ruochen are both top enemies of the Fire Tribe. I ask the Fire Lord to come out and kill them.”
Golden fire clouds appeared in the southern sky.
A man in golden armor appeared in the fiery clouds.
The energy waves from his body were even stronger than s.h.i.+ Qianjue. “Death Zen Elder,” the man said. “If you escape to outside the region, you might be able to survive. Why are you still in Kunlun’s Field? Do you really think that I can’t kill you?”
The Fire Lord’s appearance definitely turned this suspenseful battle into something uninteresting.
Two Supreme Saints appearing had a complete advantage. How could they continue to fight?
Of course, even if the Sacred army was wiped out today, they could still go down in history. It was already incredible to force two Supreme Saints to come out.
“Oh?”
Suddenly, the Fire Lord and s.h.i.+ Qianjue both sensed something. They turned at the same time, looking toward the northern sky.
