Chapter 2120 - The Three Emperors and Mojo
The power of Lord of Stone was far beyond Zhang Ruochen’s expectations. Even if he used the God-Defiance Stele, it would still be difficult to subdue it. Now, they have reached a deadlock.
However, under the full suppression of the God-Defiance Stele, although the Divine Light Barrier was very powerful, its power was slowly being diminished.
Zhang Ruochen appeared to be very patient. He was not anxious at all. Taking this opportunity, he was also discovering more mysteries of the God-Defiance Stele to unleash stronger power.
There were many ancient words carved on the God-Defiance Stele. They contained mysterious, yet strange power. With Zhang Ruochen’s current cultivation level, he couldn’t even understand a single word, let alone all of it.
‘These 42 ancient words contain Canon aura. Could these be written by the gods who had grasped the Canon?’ Zhang Ruochen was shocked.
The Canon was extremely mysterious. Under normal circumstances, only extremely powerful gods could master it. The acquisition of Canon of Truth was the only exception.
The Canon aura contained in the 42 ancient words was completely different from each other. It should have originated from the 42 powerful gods who had mastered the Canon.
Zhang Ruochen even suspected that the other ancient words on the God-Defiance Stele might have been written by different gods.
As soon as this came into mind, Zhang Ruochen was stunned. He only had a broken stele, but there were already thousands of ancient words on it. He couldn’t imagine how many ancient characters there would be in a complete God-Defiance Stele. It would be shocking if each ancient character corresponded to different gods.
Zhang Ruochen quickly collected himself and halted his speculations. He vaguely felt that there were terrible taboos involved in this. It wasn’t a good thing to know too much when one’s power wasn’t strong enough.
As time passed, the Divine Light Barrier gradually faded. The six divine pattern imprints slowly sank into the AzureTerra Stone.
Crack!!
Suddenly, the Divine Light Barrier shattered. The God-Defiance Stele was able to truly subdue the AzureTerra Stone.
Boom!!
Six powerful wills emerged from the AzureTerra Stone and fought against God-Defiance Stele.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were serious. The six wills belonged to the six gods. If they couldn’t be subdued, it would cause a huge disaster.
Gods were beyond things. Their wills couldn’t be disobeyed.
Yet, God-Defiance Stele had god-defying power. It subdued the six divine wills and wore them down bit by bit.
After a long time, the six divine wills finally broke, but they didn’t disappear. Instead, they sank back into the AzureTerra Stone.
Zhang Ruochen could sense that it was Lord of Stone’s own will which swept away the six broken divine wills and refined them quickly.
This was what Lord of Stone had always wanted to do, but couldn’t before. Now, Zhang Ruochen had fulfilled his wish.
From now on, Lord of Stone’s spiritual wisdom would be purer. He could reach a higher realm.
Zhang Ruochen did not stop. His goal was not to help Lord of Stone, but to subdue him.
However, after refining the six divine wills, Lord of Stone was able to use the skills and techniques of the gods freely. Since he also had the special characteristics of the AzureTerra Stone, it became even harder to injure Lord of Stone.
Just as Zhang Ruochen was feeling a headache, something suddenly flew out from Divine Light Sea of Qi.
“Why did Secret Tome of Time and Space fly Out?” Zhang Ruochen asked in confusion.
Without him urging, Secret Tome of Time and Space opened automatically. It released a strange divine light which sank into the AzureTerra Stone.
Suddenly, the AzureTerra Stone shook and a mysterious mark appeared. It was formed by the power of time and space.
Seeing this, Zhang Ruochen’s heart jumped a beat, ‘Could this AzureTerra Stone be related to Saint Monk Xumi?’
At this moment, an obscure piece of information came to his mind.
‘I see. This AzureTerra Stone was accidentally obtained by Saint Monk Xumi. He knew that it could be used to communicate with spirits, so he placed it on True Dragon Island. At the same time, he left a Space-Time mark in its core both as a protection and restriction.‘ Zhang Ruochen finally understood.
Zhang Ruochen quickly made his move. He condensed the Blood God’s Curse Seal and combined it with the Space-Time mark.
His current cultivation base wasn’t strong enough. It would be difficult for him to control Lord of Stone with the Space-Time mark alone. But it would be easier with the Blood God’s Curse Seal with him.
The Space-Time mark was originally imprinted on the core of the AzureTerra Stone, which was also Lord of Stone’s Saint Soul. If the Blood God’s Curse Seal was combined with it, it could enter into Lord of Stone’s Saint Soul without his permission.
Buzz...
The AzureTerra Stone’s vibration intensified. It was obvious that Lord of Stone was resisting.
But after a moment, the AzureTerra Stone calmed down. Zhang Ruochen could clearly sense that the Blood God’s Curse Seal had merged with Lord of Stone’s Saint Soul. Everything was under his control.
Zhang Ruochen let out a sigh of relief. He put away the God-Defiance Stele and the Secret Tome of Time and Space.
‘The will of Lord of Stone is extremely strong and arrogant. If Saint Monk Xumi hadn’t left the Space-Time mark, I wouldn’t have been able to plant the Blood God’s Curse Seal in its Saint Soul,’ Zhang Ruochen thought to himself.
After truly feeling the will of Lord of Stone, Zhang Ruochen understood that without Saint Monk Xumi’s backup plan, it would almost be impossible to subdue Lord of Stone. Even if he was severely injured, he could only suppress it.
A streak of AzureTerra light flashed, and Lord of Stone transformed back into his human form. He stared at Zhang Ruochen with a terrifying gaze.
Zhang Ruochen looked straight back at Lord of Stone with no fear in his eyes.
A moment later, Lord of Stone said in a cold and deep voice, “Don’t you think that you can control me just because you planted a servant seal in my Saint Soul. You weaklings have no right to order me to do anything.”
Even though Zhang Ruochen now has the Blood God’s Curse Seal, it was clear that Lord of Stone refused to yield. He still refused to follow Zhang Ruochen’s orders.
Zhang Ruochen was not mad at Lord of Stone’s strong attitude. Instead, he admired it. Perhaps it was because of his relentless attitude that he could become so powerful.
Speaking of which, Lord of Stone was the most unique one among the five overlords on True Dragon Island. He cultivated by himself and reached the Supreme-saint realm step by step. As for the other four overlords, they were born with great power, so they basically used the power of their predecessors.
Zhang Ruochen thought quickly and calmly said, “Lord of Stone, how about we make a deal?”
“What deal?” Lord of Stone asked coldly.
Zhang Ruochen said, “It’s very simple. You can join me and kill Mojo. After that, you can continue to practice on True Dragon Island. I won’t force you to do anything until my power surpasses yours.”
Hearing this, Lord of Stone frowned slightly and began to think seriously.
A moment later, bright light flashed in Lord of Stone’s eyes, and he said in a clear voice, “Alright, I promise you.”
Upon hearing Lord of Stone’s acceptance, a faint smile appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes. He said, “I know that you’ve collected a lot of treasures. Give me what you don’t need so I can use them to train powerhouses.”
Lord of Stone looked at Zhang Ruochen deeply in his eyes. Without saying anything, he threw out the Ring of Dimensions.
Zhang Ruochen reached out and caught the Ring of Dimensions. He immediately released his spiritual power and looked into it.
There were a lot of treasures in the Ring of Dimensions. The treasures were piled up into a mountain, but there were only half of that of Dragon Phantom Lord.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t think that Lord of Stone was deliberately hiding his treasures. Since Lord of Stone rarely traveled outside, it was already fairly well that he could collect more than 50 million treasures.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen’s expression changed, as he found a King Grade Sacred Pill that could greatly increase spiritual power. This was even rarer than an ordinary King Grade Sacred Pill.
If he chose to eat it now, given his current spiritual power level, he might immediately become a spiritual Supreme Saint.
King Grade Sacred Pills like such were undoubtedly extremely precious. Even a spiritual Supreme Saint would yearn for it.
“Are you trying to steal Mojo’s Treasure?” Lord of Stone suddenly asked.
Zhang Ruochen came back to his senses and put away the Ring of Dimensions. A cold light flashed in his eyes, “Mojo was born with the will of the gods of Infernal Court. He is the most evil of them all, so he’s a great disaster for Kunlun Realm. We must eradicate him as soon as possible.”
“A hundred thousand years ago, someone once told me that one day if I had great power, I must help protect Kunlun Realm. I would start by killing Mojo.” Lord of Stone’s gaze turned especially sharp.
Hearing this, something triggered in Zhang Ruochen’s mind. The person who said this to Lord of Stone must be Saint Monk Xumi.
It seemed that Saint Monk Xumi had high hopes for Lord of Stone. Otherwise, he would not have deliberately left a Space-Time mark in his core. This acted as a guidance to prevent Lord of Stone from going astray.
If there was no Space-Time mark, perhaps Lord of Stone’s spiritual intelligence would be drowned by the will of the six gods as soon as he was born.
Without further delay, Zhang Ruochen, Lord of Stone, and Dragon Phantom Lord set off immediately.
At this moment, the battle between Lord of Sword and Mojo was still ongoing outside the main building of the Dragon Temple. The winner hasn’t been decided, but Lord of Sword was clearly at a disadvantage.
Crash!
Dragon Phantom Lord appeared on the battlefield with Zhang Ruochen on his back. From afar, he released a terrifying four-colored Divine Light and attacked Mojo with lightning speed.
At the same time, Lord of Stone used his teleportation skills and appeared below Mojo suddenly. Six fists struck out at the same time, bursting with incomparable terrifying power.
Unlike Dragon Phantom Lord and Lord of Elixir, Lord of Stone didn’t lose too much power from God-Defiance Stele. He still had strength to fight with Mojo.
BOOM!!
Mojo’s tentacles and nearly half of the creepy children exploded when Lord of Stone and Dragon Phantom Lord attacked at the same time.
Even someone as strong as Mojo suffered significantly when it was caught off guard.
Boundless divine force of Darkness surged out from Mojo’s body, enveloping all creepy children. It immediately wanted to retreat in order to escape from the encirclement of Lord of Sword, Dragon Phantom Lord, and Lord of Stone.
“Mojo, you can’t escape.”
Dragon Phantom Lord let out a long cry, and the divine force of Origin poured into the ground continuously.
Half of Mojo’s body was already in the ground, but it was unable to continue sinking in.
Under the influence of the divine force of Origin, the structure of the ground had already undergone a fundamental change, completely restraining Mojo’s ability to move underground.
At this moment, Lord of Stone rushed out from the ground. Its body emitted a monstrous baleful aura, like an unrivalled Demonic god. It gathered the majestic power of the Supreme Saint and blasted out tyrannical fist imprints.
Lord of Stone’ body itself was his most powerful sacred artifact. It was indestructible and could even go heads-on with a Supreme Artifact.
At such a close distance, there was no way Mojo could dodge, so it could only defend itself.
An unusual-looking tentacle extended out. It was pitch-black in color and extremely sharp. It was like an indestructible battle spear.
Bang!!
After a short collision, Lord of Stone’s fist imprint and Mojo’s black tentacle exploded at the same time. No one was able to gain any advantage.
Yet in fact, Mojo had suffered some losses. This was because its black tentacle was formed from the vital force of its Origin. It only had eighteen tentacles like such, which were much more powerful than the other tentacles.
The black tentacle was extremely tough. Even the fierce attacks by Lord of Sword couldn’t damage it.
Mojo did not expect that it would suffer serious damage after exchanging blows with Lord of Stone. This caused strong fear in Mojo’s heart.
Lord of Sword was unhappy to see Lord of Stone and Dragon Phantom Lord adding into the fight. He frowned instead, as if he was disturbed.
He looked at Zhang Ruochen, who was standing on Dragon Phantom Lord. His instinct told him that everything was related to Zhang Ruochen.
Simultaneously, Zhang Ruochen casted his gaze on Lord of Sword.
Zhang Ruochen had a good impression of Lord of Sword as he had helped him previously when Mojo tried to kill him and Dragon Phantom Lord.
Zhang Ruochen cupped his hands and said, “Lord of Sword, thank you for your help previously.”
“Leave quickly. Don’t interfere with my battle with Mojo,” Lord of Sword said indifferently.
Zhang Ruochen said, “I know that you want to use Mojo to hone your Swordwill. However, Kunlun Realm is in a precarious situation now. As long as the heart of Kunlun Realm is still alive, others will send armies to attack it. Now they even want to seize the key to the World Gate and destroy World Spirit.”
“I am sure that you know about Mojo’s origin, Lord of Sword. It was transformed by the heart of a god of Infernal Court, and it inherited the will of the gods of Infernal Court. As long as it is there, we will be in big trouble. So, We hope that we can join hands to get rid of it.”
Zhang Ruochen already knew that Lord of Sword was related to a sword god of Kunlun Realm. This was the main reason why he had been at odds with Mojo for so many years.
As long as Lord of Sword’s original intentions hadn’t changed, he would be standing on the same side as them.
Suddenly, Lord of Stone’s body rose to a height of 300 meters and released a stronger murderous aura. He looked down on the world and said loudly, “Lord of Sword, if you don’t want to join forces, step aside and let me destroy the heart of the god of Infernal Court.”
“Lord of Stone, just attack. I have completely sealed off the area within a thousand miles. Mojo can’t escape,” Dragon Phantom Lord said.
At this stage, although his powers weren’t as strong as Mojo’s, he could restrict Mojo with his various methods. These powers would help Lord of Stone massively.
Of course, he wouldn’t mind killing Mojo if the opportunity arose.
Roar!!
Lord of Stone roared into the sky. His aura engulfed the mountains and rivers. Heavy AzureTerra Qi surrounded his body, as if a new world was opening up.
Lord of Stone’s six hands moved at the same time and formed a strange seal. He combined the power of the Supreme Saint with AzureTerra Qi and instantly formed three huge artifacts: AzureTerra seal; AzureTerra pagoda; and AzureTerra cauldron. They were all extremely solid, and its mysterious patterns were fighting against Mojo.
It was obvious that Lord of Stone didn’t want to waste his time and energy. He utilized his full strength as soon as he made his move to destroy Mojo.
Lord of Stone’s true form was in fact AzureTerra Stone. He was born with the power of AzureTerra, which was almost comparable to the power cultivated by the Nine Paths of the Ancients. This was his innate advantage, which also meant that his future achievements were limitless.
Perhaps it was because of this that Saint Monk Xumi deliberately made all kinds of arrangements to ensure that AzureTerra Stone could successfully cultivate spiritual intelligence and embark on the path of cultivation.

Were the gods of Kunlun Realm dead? This could be seen from the happenings on the Great Saint Battlefield!
