Chapter 2203: Critical Situation
In Rainbow Pavilion of Kunlun—
Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen appeared in every corner of the microworld. They used all kinds of methods to fight without holding back.
If this microworld wasn’t established by Master Fangcun and was unstable, it would have been destroyed into pieces.
Zhang Ruochen’s was at an advantage with the number of people on his side. However, they were at an absolute disadvantage when it came to the battle with Infernal Court.
Moreover, they were only fighting against the powerhouses of the seven clans of Infernal Court. The other three clans did not have time to spare as they were attacking Bookworm and Moha.
Bookworm and Moha stood in front of the dimensional teleportation array. Their bodies were tattered, but they were still standing upright.
They did not take a step back despite the attacks. They couldn’t and they wouldn’t.
If they could not defend the dimensional teleportation array, they would become sinners of the Path of Confucianism and the entire Kunlun.
“Are you two scholars still not willing to step aside?” Jadesky Bone Emperor said in a cold tone.
Bookworm smiled bitterly and said, “Sacrificing my life for righteousness is what I want. There are no cowards in the Path of Confucianism, and we will not humiliate our teacher.”
As the disciples of the Confucius forefathers, they had lofty integrity and pride. They would never give in, even if death was awaiting.
s.h.i.+ Juexin sneered and said, “There’s no need for words. Those who don’t join me in Infernal Court will be killed. Those who follow me will prosper, and those who defy me will die!”
Swoosh
s.h.i.+ Juexin swung his huge axe with all his strength.
He had always wors.h.i.+pped Huang Tian and desired to become a peerless powerhouse like him. Therefore, the war weapon he used was similar to Huang Tian.
While fighting Yan Wushen, Zhang Ruochen was also paying attention to Bookworm and Moha’s situation. He wanted to rush over and help them, but Yan Wushen blocked him from doing so.
“Zhang Ruochen, the Saturn Peach Tree will definitely be cut down. You can’t stop it. Join me,” Yan Wushen said.
Behind him, the figure of Yama became clearer. He wielded the Book of Death to evolve a kingdom of death, wanting to envelop Zhang Ruochen in it.
Zhang Ruochen took out the Zangshan Demonic Mirror and merged it with the Realm-frame of Truth to block the invasion from the Power of death.
At the same time, Zhang Ruochen had already used the Secret Tome of Time and s.p.a.ce to strengthen the Profound Spatial Dimension and the River of Time, pus.h.i.+ng both powers to their max.
However, Yan Wushen was already prepared. He took out the treasure of Dimension and the treasure of Origin. He was not at a disadvantage at all.
As a peerless genius nurtured by the Yanluo clan, Yan Wushen could have anything he wanted. With all the opportunities he had, he had more treasures than Zhang Ruochen.
Bang
The Realm-frame of Truth was pierced. Zhang Ruochen took a few steps back. His body shook as he was almost hurt.
He had been distracted just now!
The battle with Yan Wushen was extremely dangerous. Even the slightest distraction could put his life in danger.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes darkened. Yan Wushen was indeed a great enemy. It was too difficult to defeat him.
He really wanted to use the Yinyang Sword Formation to deal with Yan Wushen. However, the Blood Dripper was in an intense battle with a Deathkin powerhouse. It was hard to tell who was stronger.
Crash
A bone saber suddenly appeared and slashed Zhang Ruochen’s waist.
The timing of this attack was good. Zhang Ruochen could not avoid it.
“Die!”
Jadesky Bone Emperor roared.
He had been waiting for an opportunity to make a sneaky attack against Zhang Ruochen. He might be able to help Yan Wusheng secure the victory as soon as possible by creating some trouble.
Boom
Zhang Ruochen’s left leg was burning with divine fire which released a towering divine power in an instant.
Clang
The bone saber that had just cut into Zhang Ruochen’s waist was forced out by the divine power.
A huge pit appeared in a radius of 100 miles around Zhang Ruochen. The earth melted, and boiling lava flowed.
The ground beneath Jadesky Bone Emperor suddenly cracked open. A terrifying divine fire gushed out like an erupting volcano and drowned him in an instant.
Crack
Jadesky Bone Emperor’s tough bone body cracked.
‘So powerful.’
Jadesky Bone Emperor was secretly shocked. He rushed out of the divine fire in embarra.s.sment.
If he hadn’t practiced the Deva Path of Jade to turn his bone body and Saint Soul into jade, he would have been severely injured even if he didn’t die.
Yan Wushen snorted. “Jadesky Bone Emperor, do your own thing. No one is allowed to interfere in my battle with Zhang Ruochen.”
After personally experiencing Zhang Ruochen’s terror, Jadesky Bone Emperor didn’t dare to attack anymore. He might not be able to resist the furry of Zhang Ruochen if he provoked him.
In the end, he had underestimated Zhang Ruochen’s strength. It was difficult for others to interfere in the battle between Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen.
On the Altar of Saints, Feng Yan and Xiang Chunan stood beside Maiden of a Thousand Stars.
They obeyed Zhang Ruochen’s arrangement and were in charge of guarding Maiden of a Thousand Stars.
Feng Yan frowned at their situation and asked, “Haven’t we found the High-Saint Talisman Master?”
He knew very well that the key to turning the battle around was to completely break the Realm-sealing Talisman. Otherwise, they might be killed by the powerhouses of the ten clans of Infernal Court.
“The Realm-sealing Talisman has completely sealed the secrets and concealed the aura of that High-Saint Talisman Master. I still need some time,” said Maiden of a Thousand Stars.
She was actually very anxious, but this matter couldn’t be rushed.
Unfortunately, she was still a Saint Talisman Master, not a High-Saint Talisman Master. Otherwise, it would be much easier to do this.
It was difficult to make up for the gap between the realms with other methods.
Upon hearing this, Feng Yan did not push Maiden of a Thousand Stars any further and let her focus her attention on this matter.
“There are not many powerhouses from Infernal Court, but every single one of them is incomparably powerful. I can’t deal with any of them. All I can do is to stand here and watch. It is really frustrating,” Xiang Chunan said in an indignant manner.
Feng Yan sighed. He and Xiang Chunan were only Precept Domain cultivators . Although their strength was comparable to powerhouses who attained Path’s Anterior, they were worlds apart compared to these powerhouses from Infernal Court.
With their current strength, they were still far from being able to fight side by side with Zhang Ruochen.
Although he was almost hurt by Yan Wushen, Zhang Ruochen still paid clsoe attention to Bookworm and Moha. This matter was too important. How could he not take it to heart?
No, I must rush over. I must not let anything happen to the dimensional teleportation array.’
With that thought, Zhang Ruochen quickly flapped the Secret Tome of Time and s.p.a.ce. He released a Dimensional Talisman from it and attacked Yan Wushen.
This Dimensional Talisman was used by Shentu Yunkong to break the multi-dimensional s.p.a.ces. Unfortunately, before its power could be fully activated, it was restrained by the Secret Tome of Time and s.p.a.ce.
The Dimensional Talisman was refined by Fane of Dimension’s powerhouses. It was extremely powerful.
Break
Zhang Ruochen used theSecret Tome of Time and s.p.a.ce with all his strength which complememted the Dimensional Talisman.
Boom
A terrifying Dimensional Storm appeared and swept towards Yan Wushen.
Zhang Ruochen took advantage of this gap and rushed towards the peach forest.
“Stop him!”
A powerhouse from Infernal Court shouted.
s.h.i.+ Juexin and Nether Fiend turned around in an instant. One wielded a huge axe, while the other used the Deva Path of Vile Nether.
s.h.i.+ Juexin didn’t hold back at all. He used the unparalleled power of Stone Clan and swung his axe with all his strength, splitting a long crack in the confined s.p.a.ce.
Nether Fiend, on the other hand, released a vast amount of Vile Nether Qi which condensed into one and shot outwards.
Zhang Ruochen waved the Ancient Abyssal Blade to capture Marks of Time and evolved the Time Domain which caused the s.p.a.ce and time around him to freeze for a short while.
Bang
Two silver swords slashed out, hitting s.h.i.+ Juexin and Nether Fiend respectively.
s.h.i.+ Juexin’s stone body was indeed tough. The silver sword only left a white mark on his body, but it didn’t break.
Nether Fiend’s body was slightly weaker. A deep wound appeared on his chest, and dark red blood gushed out.
s.h.i.+ Juexin and Nether Fiend felt an inexplicable sense of weakness after enduring Zhang Ruochen’s power.
“Power of Time.”
s.h.i.+ Juexin and Nether Fiend reacted instantly.
After a short delay, Yan Wushen had caught up with them again.
Zhang Ruochen knew that he couldn’t break through. He made a prompt decision. He raised his hand and shot two Springs of Life into the bodies of Bookworm and Moha.
Since he couldn’t help them at the moment, he could only hope that they could hold on for a while longer.
“Yama Naraka.”
Yan Wushen pounced forward and evolved into an enormous h.e.l.l. It was as if Infernal Court was about to descend into this world.
During the battle with Luoshui, Yan Wushen’s evil counterpart had used this secret technique of the Yanluo clan and Zhang Ruochen had relied on the Sundial to fight against it.
Now, Yan Wushen had combined his two counterparts and used this secret technique again. Its power had doubled.
Zhang Ruochen’s expression was serious. His hands formed seals with incredible speed. A vast amount of Precepts surged out of his body. They interweaved and formed a Divine Demon.
This time, he used the Saint Aspect of the Immovable King as a foundation and combined the Path of Five Elements and the Path of Truth to use the Incarceration of Divine Demon.
One was h.e.l.l descending, while the other side was the Incarceration of Divine Demon. It was a t.i.t for tat.
Boom
The Divine Demon figure condensed by Zhang Ruochen released unparalleled strength and blocked the Yama Naraka.
Then, the Divine Demon figure tore Yama Naraka apart with supreme power.
Nine layers of heaven appeared above the Divine Demon’s head which resembled nine boundless universes.
The eight-layer heaven was extremely solid, as if it was real, summoned by a mysterious power and was about to descend from an unknown place into this world.
The top layer of the heavens was hazy and couldn’t be seen clearly.
The ninth layer was extremely thick and contained boundless power.
At this moment, some strange colourful power flew out from the eighth layer of heavens. It added to the Divine Demon figure and turned into an eight-colored halo.
Suddenly, the Divine Demon’s power increased explosively. It was as if it had been given a soul. It was vivid and lifelike.
Bang
The Divine Demon stepped on the torn Yama Naraka.
Even Zhang Ruochen was surprised by this. After all, he had never experienced such a situation when he used the Incarceration of Divine Demon in Ziwei Palace.
He could clearly feel that the root of all this was Empyrean Emperor Ming’s Scripture.
At this moment, Empyrean Emperor Ming’s Scripture finally revealed an extraordinary side. It combined perfectly with the Incarceration of Divine Demon and changed it fundamentally.
However, Zhang Ruochen still could not understand the mysteries behind it. If it were any other time, he could have studied it.
But now was not the time to think about these things. He could only put them aside.
Zhang Ruochen seized the opportunity as he had succesfully stopped Yan Wushen. He immediately changed directions and rushed towards the dimensional teleportation array.
Nothing was more important than guarding the dimensional teleportation array.
