Chapter 1344 - Saint King Arm and Heavenly King Fist
Chapter 1344: Saint King Arm and Heavenly King Fist
Looking hard, she saw that Situ Fengcheng’s arm was translucent, as if carved out of bloody jade. It was completely different from the skin on his neck. The two fingers actually had dense Rules of Saintly Way wrapped around them, forming a small Rules of Saintly Way vortex.
Crack!
Situ Fengcheng snapped his fingers. An explosive force was sent to Martial Saint Canglan through the saint sword, sending her flying to the left.
He curled his fingers back and clenched his hand into a fist. Bloody Qi flowed across his fist like a river. He punched the air.
Flying in the air, Martial Saint Canglan hurriedly crossed her sword to block it. Sword Qi surged out of the sword. It formed a semi-transparent bell that enveloped her.
Boom!
The fist print and sword bell clashed violently. The sword bell shattered instantly. Martial Saint Canglan flew back and landed on the ground. The earth caved in under her.
She couldn’t steady herself until 100 feet away. Staring at Situ Fengcheng’s arm, she uttered three words: “Saint King Arm.”
In the distance, Qing Mo asked softly, “What’s the Saint King Arm? Did Situ Fengcheng enter the Saint King Realm?”
Zhang Ruochen had read about the Saint King Arm in the Vampire Secrets. He shook his head. “The so-called Saint King Arm means that Situ Fengcheng once broke off his own arm and connected a Saint King’s arm.
“Situ Fengcheng’s Saint King Arm can produce strength that far surpasses his own cultivation. It also contains the Saint’s blood and Rules of Saintly Way. It has some other mysterious strengths too. You could say that Situ Fengcheng is comprehending the Saint King Way at all times. His cultivation can improve quickly.”
Guoguo had been pretending to be dead. Now, it flipped over and crawled over. “You can do this? So I can break my leg and add on a Saint Beast King’s leg too, right? No, I want four legs.”
“You think it’s easy to cultivate the Saint King Arm?” Zhang Ruochen said. “The blood Qi of a Saint King is enormous. The power contained within is different from the cultivator’s body too. Once you connect it, it will cause irreparable repellency. If you can’t resolve the repellency, you won’t be able to use the Saint King Arm’s power. You might even suffer from backlash.
“Only an Immortal Vampire’s body can resolve the repellency, and combine their power with the Saint King Arm perfectly.”
Immortal Vampires could absorb the blood of others to strengthen themselves. This meant that their bodies’ compatibility was higher than other races.
Guoguo was a bit disappointed. “So you’re saying that only the Immortal Vampires can cultivate the Saint King Arm?”
“Pretty much!” Zhang Ruochen said.
“With Situ Fengcheng’s talent,” Huang Yanchen said, “there’s even a 10 to 20% chance of reaching the Supreme Saint Realm. Wouldn’t cultivating the Saint King Arm restrict his future achievements?”
“No,” Zhang Ruochen said. “When he reaches the Saint King Realm and thinks the Saint King Arm has lost its use, he can just break it off.”
“How strong can he be with the Saint King Arm?” Huang Yanchen asked.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head. There were too many variables affecting the Saint King Arm. If they didn’t fight face-to-face, he wouldn’t be able to rate it accurately.
“I’ll go test the Saint King Arm’s strength.”
Qing Xiao strode forward. His battle intent and aura kept rising. Behind him, the apparitions of thousands of soldiers and horses grew more tangible.
Other than Situ Fengcheng, all other Immortal Vampire cultivators couldn’t help but retreat. Faced with an opponent like Qing Xiao, Situ Fengcheng had to be serious. He let go of Zhu Qingyi’s wrist and had her retreat to the back.
“Heavenly King Embraces Moon.”
Qing Xiao hugged the air. The sky darkened instantly, day turning to night. Countless sparkling stars appeared in the night sky. Beams of starlight fell onto the ground like silk. A gleaming moon consolidated between Qing Xiao’s arms.
This was the Grand Council Heavenly King Fist!
Only Heavenly Kings of the Ministry of War could enter the Grand Council and cultivate the strongest fist techniques of the Ministry of War. Each of the ten moves of the Heavenly King Fist was stronger and more advanced than the last. They contained the ways of the world and became more and more difficult to learn.
Apparently, those who could complete all ten moves would directly become the minister and lead the billion-soldier army of the First Central Empire.
Situ Fengcheng activated his Holy Qi. His arm started burning like fiery jade. It crackled and popped and grew twice as thick. He also used a saint spell-level fist technique.
Boom!
The full-power hits of these two strong figures clashed violently. Any cultivator standing within 100 feet of them was sent flying by the powerful shockwaves.
Under their feet, the ground cracked apart and collapsed.
“Senior Brother and Situ Fengcheng’s cultivations are similar, but he could go up against the Saint King Arm. How did he do it?” Huang Yanchen didn’t understand.
Martial Saint Canglan stared hard at the two fighting. “It must be the power of the Heavenly King Print.”
“What’s the Heavenly King Print?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
“Each Heavenly King is personally given the title by the Empress,” Martial Saint Canglan said. “At the ceremony, the Empress would personally give them a Heavenly King Stamp. Not only does it represent their status, but it also contains the Empress’ understanding of the Saintly Way. It’s made out of interwoven Rules of Saintly Way.”
“The Rules of Saintly Way of a Supreme Saint?”
Martial Saint Canglan’s eyes were filled with respect and reverence. “The Empress’ cultivation isn’t only a Supreme Saint. She’s already infinitely close to a god. The Heavenly King Stamps that she bestows contain boundless power. Even a Heavenly King might not be able to completely grasp that power.”
“Heavenly King Worships God.”
Qing Xiao put his hands together. The blue saintly light radiating from him grew stronger. It chased away the darkness and the sky turned blue. Behind him, a group of deity images appeared. They were 9,000 feet tall, standing on the ground with their heads in the sky.
Qing Xiao only became Heavenly King a few years ago, Martial Saint Canglan thought. And he’s already completed two moves of the Heavenly King Fist. No wonder the officials say he’s able to compete with the Five Heroes.
Situ Fengcheng also had a grave expression. His Saint King Arm grabbed forward, grasping the Fengtian Sword’s hilt.
Runes continuously appeared on the Fengtian Sword. It radiated with stronger and stronger Destruction of Thousand Runes. Flames burned, melting the dirt into golden lava.
Whoosh!
The Saint King Arm and Fengtian Sword combined and attacked, crashing against the divine images behind Qing Xiao.
The strong shockwaves created cracks in the South Cliff in the distance. With a boom, it collapsed, turning into a broken mountain.
Ghost King Bloodmoon was watching attentively. Nodding, she said, “These two are pretty strong!”
Martial Saint Canglan glanced at where Ying Huo was standing. Spreading her phoenix wings, she flew over. Her outstretched arm transformed into a ten-meter-long handprint. She grabbed downward.
The Immortal Goddess had a very high status among the Immortal Vampires. Capturing her would damage the Immortal Vampires’ morale.
Ying Huo knew that Martial Saint Canglan was very powerful. With her current Spiritual Power, she wasn’t Martial Saint Canglan’s match. Thus, she bit her forefinger and pressed onto the Thousand Beast Treasure Mirror. Strands of saintly blood snaked over.
Roar!
A deafening tiger’s roar came from the Thousand Beast Treasure Mirror. A white tiger claw reached out, radiating with boundless power. It passed through the air and shattered Martial Saint Canglan’s fire handprint.
She was shocked inwardly. Feeling the Savage Beast aura in the Thousand Beast Treasure Mirror, she guessed that it was an upper-level Grade Seven Savage Beast.
One must know, even the weakest upper-level Grade Seven Savage Beasts could counter a True Saint. Clearly, it was very hard for Ying Huo to lead a beast like that to Kunlun’s Field. She had to pay the price.
For example, she had to use her saintly blood.
A second white tiger claw reached out. Then the space around the Thousand Beast Treasure Mirror shook violently. It formed a chaotic tornado. The average cultivator couldn’t even get close.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed and he said to Princess White Li, “If an upper-level Grade Seven Savage Beast really comes, it’ll give us quite a problem. Go stop the Immortal Goddess. It’s best if you capture her.”
Princess White Li was quite decisive too. She pointed her finger and destructive force was sent out. However, it was blocked by a Death God Knight before hitting Ying Huo.
That Death God Knight wore Ten Saints Blood Armor. He flew back. Inside the armor, his physical body had been broken into mush. By the time he fell to the ground, the Ten Saints Blood Armor had turned into a bloody belt because it lost the support of Holy Qi.
This time, the Immortal Goddess had brought a team of Death God Knights into Xianji Mountain. There was one Death God general and nine knights.
“As expected of the Death God Knights. They don’t even fear death to protect the Immortal Goddess.” Zhang Ruochen’s eyes darkened. He said to Guoguo and the Demon Ape, “Attack together and kill all Immortal Vampires. But be careful of them using suicidal attacks. Once they do that, even a True Saint might die.”
He took out Blood Repression Runes and gave some to Guoguo and Princess White Li. At critical moments, the Blood Repression Rune could stop a Death God Knight from using suicidal attacks.
Just then, a Death God Knight used a secret escape spell, unleashing ten times his usual speed. But instead of escaping, he was charging at Zhang Ruochen’s group.
“No, he definitely wants to use a suicidal attack and have us all die together!” Guoguo yelled. It curled up and rolled forward like a furry ball.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed. Instead of retreating, he charged forward, proactively going to the Death God Knight.
The knight’s eyes had a definite, cruel, and sinister smile. His blood flowed ten times as fast as usual. Mysterious power was released deep within his blood. His body started swelling and cracks appeared.
Controlling the Thousand Beast Treasure Mirror with all her might, joy also filled Ying Huo’s eyes. It was definitely a good trade to have a Death God Knight die with Time and Space Descendant, Zhang Ruochen.
