Chapter 1436: By Himself
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
The Abyss Ancient Sword flew back to Zhang Ruochen’s hand after half a day.
It had absorbed and refined all the saint weapons, and it had more than thirteen thousand inscriptions on its blade now.
After becoming a ten thousand patterns saint weapon, it takes longer for it to improve, Zhang Ruochen thought.
There were more than a thousand weapons on the battlefield, yet they only added three thousand inscriptions to the Abyss Ancient Sword.
Obviously, the quality of the inscriptions on the Abyss Ancient Sword was higher after becoming a ten thousand patterns saint weapon, so it’d need more and more saint weapons to be upgraded.
The root, vines and leaves of Carnivorous Holy Flower tried to absorb the nutrients from the mud and air, and its cultivation surged.
After half a day.
Carnivorous Holy Flower’s cultivation reached pinnacle true-saint level.
It gradually became slower at absorbing nutrients, and the fruit at the top of the vine couldn’t grow anymore.
Zhang Ruochen was also refining at the same time. He successfully refined almost five hundred drops of Ning True Saint Dew and got closer to becoming a true saint.
Zhang Ruochen walked out of the time and s.p.a.ce crystal and said, “Let’s go to the wormhole.”
“Give me a couple more days, master. I might be able to become an absolute saint if I can absorb all the nutrition here,” Carnivorous Holy Flower said.
Zhang Ruochen knew that time was pressuring him. He said, “We came to Zuling Field for fighting and killing. We don’t have that much time for refining. We need to get to Whale River basin through the wormhole now.”
The merits battle spanned three months, and it had been more than twenty days, so every day he had was precious.
Zhang Ruochen took out the Golden Dragon Carriage and entered it. He mobilized his saint Qi to activate the soul shadows of the nine golden dragons, rus.h.i.+ng toward the wormhole.
Zhang Ruochen took out a bottle and sipped Ning True Saint Dew.
Zhang Ruochen needed to refine Nine True Saint Dew on the journey as well as during the fight, and that was how he could become a true saint as quickly as possible.
Carnivorous Holy Flower had to acquiesce and followed Zhang Ruochen. Roots that were dozens of miles long spread from the mud and spread forward as if it had thousands of legs.
Many powers from Heaven World were paying attention to Zhang Ruochen, as they were surprised that he rushed to the wormhole by himself.
“Look, Zhang Ruochen’s going to the wormhole by himself. Does he want to fight the Luosha armies alone?”
“Although the armies under marquises from the Luosha have retreated, there’re still six hundred something Luosha marquises guarding the wormhole. There’s no way he can get through it alone.”
“Perhaps he’s really in a rush to Whale River basin for merits.”
…
Zhang Ruochen fought more than a hundred Luosha marquises by himself and almost killed them all, which was indeed impressive.
However, getting through the wormhole was a different thing, as n.o.body reckoned Zhang Ruochen could do it. The result was that Zhang Ruochen was defeated but managed to survive.
Chances are, he would get killed.
Zhang Ruochen looked forward when he was only five hundred miles away from the wormhole. There was saint Qi permeating this heaven and earth, and the ground was cracked.
The saints from h.e.l.l Blade World and the armies of the Luosha race had a huge battle here yesterday, so there were still lots of bodies on the ground.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t dare underestimate his enemies. He stopped the Golden Dragon Carriage and used his mind power for inspection.
“Those saints from h.e.l.l Blade Field broke eleven defense formations. They helped me clean up a lot of trouble.”
There were many formation inscriptions in this sky and land, making this place solid. No wonder the saints from h.e.l.l Blade World were annihilated.
There were also lots of formation inscriptions left underground, and in the distance were complete inscriptions blocking Zhang Ruochen’s mind power.
“How many layers of defense formation are there? How many attack formations are there?”
Zhang Ruochen wasn’t intimidated by the sheer number of Luosha armies, but he was cautious about the attack formation and Nine Nine to One Formation.
Luosha armies guarding the wormhole also spotted Zhang Ruochen. Beings with great forces emerged from behind the defense formation.
The third marquis who escaped Zhang Ruochen walked out of the guarding formation. He stood on the top of a hill and yelled, “Are you coming to die, human?”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t even bother talking to him. He took out Blue Sky Bow and s.h.i.+ning Sun Arrow and aimed at that silver-haired Sphinx.
The silver-haired Sphinx knew how powerful the Blue Sky Bow and s.h.i.+ning Sun Arrow were. He cursed and rushed back to the formation.
Bang!
The s.h.i.+ning Sun Arrow hit the hollow following the silver-haired Sphinx, and then, a guarding formation emerged, and it looked like a half-transparent light wall where there were chains flowing inside.
The chains in the light wall trembled, forming a whirlpool that warded off the s.h.i.+ning Sun Arrow.
“Quick enough.”
Zhang Ruochen reached out his hand and took the s.h.i.+ning Sun Arrow back.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t only try to kill the silver-haired Sphinx, but also to test how st.u.r.dy the guarding formation was.
It was the first time those marquises from the Luosha race behind the guarding formation saw the silver-haired Sphinx so awkward and scared, so they couldn’t help laughing.
The silver-haired Sphinx felt ashamed. His eyes started to gleam, and he shouted, “Kill him!”
Inscriptions showed up five hundred feet above the ground, forming an attack formation.
The sky started to burn under the attack formation. At the center of the attack formation was a shadow that was three thousand feet tall. He looked like a Luosha Demonic G.o.d with wings on his back.
Whoos.h.!.+
The Luosha Demonic G.o.d breathed out a golden fiery ball, trying to bombard Zhang Ruochen.
The heat from the fiery ball was beyond the limits for Carnivorous Holy Flower. Its leaves started to burn, so it had to shrink its body to avoid being attacked by the formation.
Zhang Ruochen stood up, mobilized his saint Qi and reached forward.
“s.p.a.ce twist.”
The diving fiery ball was immediately diverted to several miles away.
Boom!
The ground shook, and golden flames spread everywhere.
The entire area seemed to be engulfed in flames.
“Is he dead?”
All Luosha marquises stared at the flames. Suddenly, nine golden dragons carried a saint carriage out, and they clashed toward the guarding formation at a speed a hundred times faster than sound.
The silver-haired Sphinx clenched his teeth and said, “Do you really think you can break the guarding formation by yourself? Use attack formation again and kill him no matter what.”
The Luosha Demonic G.o.d opened his eyes, and two fiery light pillars. .h.i.t the Golden Dragon Carriage.
Zhang Ruochen stood at the top of the Golden Dragon Carriage and mobilized the s.p.a.ce power and said, “Break.”
Walla!
The s.p.a.ce was torn apart. A crack that was three hundred feet long and fifty feet wide broke the guarding formation.
And then, the Golden Dragon Carriage rushed in.
Followed by blood-curdling screams, Luosha marquises were knocked away. They couldn’t defend themselves against the dragon carriage at all. Some of the Luosha marquises were even crushed to death.
Carnivorous Holy Flower wound itself around the Golden Dragon Carriage and wielded its vines.
Sizzle!
The vines were sharper than spears, piercing through the saint body of a fifth marquis while rus.h.i.+ng toward another Luosha marquis.
Carnivorous Holy Flower targeted stronger marquises like sixth marquises, fifth marquises, and fourth marquises. Every time it killed a marquis, it dragged its saint corpse back to absorb its saint blood and saint power.
Zhang Ruochen teamed up with Carnivorous Holy Flower to break the army of Luosha marquises. Suddenly, dozens of marquises were killed.
“We’ve been the ones eating other creatures, never the other way around.”
The silver-haired Sphinx yelled and took out an iron whip that was a ten thousand patterns saint weapon. He utilized all the power in the iron whip and tried to splash Carnivorous Holy Flower.
Carnivorous Holy Flower sensed the danger coming. It also released all its strength, and countless lightning threads gushed out, covering the vines and leaves.
Boom!
The vines and the iron whip clashed with each other.
Carnivorous Holy Flower was inhabiting Zhang Ruochen’s body, so they were closely connected. Zhang Ruochen could feel that Carnivorous Holy Flower was in a very bad position, as the iron whip had already injured it, and the wounds were only getting worse.
Zhang Ruochen jumped up from the Golden Dragon Carriage. Just as he flew in the sky, he summoned the Abyss Ancient Sword and wielded it against the silver-haired Sphinx.
The sword Qi turned into a sword light waterfall that was three thousand feet long.
The silver-haired Sphinx was scared. He put back the iron whip and twisted his wrist. The iron whip only grew thicker and thicker like an iron dragon.
Boom!
The power from the Abyss Ancient Sword was enormous, cutting the iron whip into halves, together with the silver-haired Sphinx.
The blood was spilled all over Zhang Ruochen’s body.
Zhang Ruochen could easily slay ordinary absolute saints with his Abyss Ancient Sword with his strength.
