Chapter 2193: Fight to Our Death
Flush!
Although the jar was small, it contained the universe within. The black goo instantly submerged a large area of Divine Marks.
The black goo was a mixture of divine blood and many strange substances. It was specially used to break Divine Marks and was very precious.
In order to break through Yuanchu Palace as soon as possible, they had to invest more efforts.
Psssssssss
The corrosiveness of the black goo was extremely strong. The moment a Divine Mark came into contact with it, it would quickly melt away.
At the same time, the elites from the various factions of Heavenly Realm all made their moves. They used all sorts of means, from powerful Saint Techniques, weapons, to talismans to accelerate the destruction of the Divine Marks.
Sensing the weakening of the power of the Divine Marks, the 72 Court Saintesses were worried and anxious. They no longer cared about anything else. All of them fused the Divine Marks with their Saint Blood.
They had been transformed by Empress Chi Yao’s divine blood. Although amount of divine blood was not that high, they were fused with some divine aura from the Empress.
At this moment, the 72 Court Saintesses was trying to make use to maximize the power of the Divine Marks with Empress Chi Yao’s divine aura. Nevertheless, even so, they could only delay the time for the destruction of Divine Marks. They could not stop it.
Under such circumstances, all the elites in the Divine Hall gathered. Their eyes were firm and resolute. They were ready to face death.
Even if they knew that they were no match for their enemies, they would never give up resisting.
The cultivators of Kunlun could be killed but not humiliated.
“Kongyue, Are You Afraid?” the Nine-heavens Maiden asked. Her voice was soft.
Chi Kongyue replied with determination in her eyes, “I’m not afraid. I will die for Kunlun with no regret.”
“You are indeed very similar to your father. Once you have decided on something, you won’t regret even if you face death,” the Nine-heavens Maiden sighed.
She no longer cared about life and death. However, no matter what, she had to do her best to protect Chi Kongyue and leave a seed of hope for Kunlun.
CRASH!
The Divine Marks were showing signs of collapse, and they could no longer protect Yuanchu Palace
With a cold expression on his face, Archangel Michael ordered, “Capture Chi Kongyue and the Nine-heavens Maiden, and kill the others without mercy.”
All the Saint Kings of Heavenly Realm and its allies made their move, storming into Yuanchu Palace through the opening.
“Fight for Kunlun until the last drop of blood is shed!”
“Fight to the death!”
…
The elites of Kunlun’s Central Imperial Court did not retreat. Their fighting spirit was high.
They had no way out. They would die anyway. It was better to risk everything and fight against Heavenly Realm and its allies to their death so that they could show their opponents their courage and unyielding spirit.
Blood Dripper’s vessel spirit and the Nine-heavens Maiden stood at the front line. At this moment, only the two of them had the strength to fight.
Blood Dripper was Empress Chi Yao’s weapon. Although it was a young Supreme Artifact, the power it contained was very strong. After it had absorbed a large amount of divine blood, it could even slay a deity when it was in Empress Chi Yao’s hands.
Blood Dripper’s vessel spirit remained powerful even when there was no wielder. There were very few cultivators with ranks below Supreme Sainthood could rival it.
As for the Nine-heavens Maiden, she held many powerful weapons and items, such as Sacred Confucian Tome, Divine Kitchen Knife, and so on. Every single one of them was extraordinary, and could become a world-class treasure for inferior Macroworlds.
As for the other elites of Imperial Court, there were not many Nine-Step Saint Kings. The gap in strength between both sides was too great, so how could they fight against cultivators from Heavenly Realm and its allies?
The vessel spirit of Blood Dripper stood upright, her gaze cold. She held Blood Dripper in her hand of her slender arm while emiting traces of powerful divine aura. It was as if she were Empress Chi Yao.
“You can’t hold the tide with a broom!”
Led by Archangel Michael, about a dozen leaders from other Macroworlds charged at them together. Each of them threw out a palm strike.
Each palm was like a layer of cloud stacking over another. Large amounts of Precepts were moving through the clouds of palm, trying to suppress Blood Dripper’s vessel spirit.
Boom!
Blood Dripper’s vessel spirit waved her sword and released a dense aura of Death as it tried to resist them with all her might.
Although she was powerful, she was outnumbered by the leaders from different Macroworlds. She got restrained and could not protect others.
Seeing that Blood Dripper was restrained, many elites from Heavenly Realm and its allies stormed Yuanchu Palace.
Without the greatest threat, the others from Imperial Court were nothing to worry about.
“What a peerless beauty. In terms of looks and temperament, she is not inferior to the nine beauties in the Portrait of the Nine Beauties. No wonder Akash has fallen head over heels for you.
“You’d better surrender so that I won’t have to hurt you.” While Saint Lord Wu Xin made those remarks, he was staring at the Nine-heavens Maiden’s delicate body with a wickied smile on his face.
As he spoke, he exuded a strange power. It was trying to penetrate into the Nine-heavens Maiden’s body.
However, it did not succeed. Sacred Confucian Tome flew out from the Nine-heavens Maiden and hovered above her, emiting a gentle Saint Light that completely blocked against that strange power.
At the same time, the Nine-heavens Maiden’s temperament had undergone an earth-shaking change. The graceful and quiet version of the Maiden was replaced by the valiant and domineering version. Her eyes became sharp and cold. A pair of phoenix wings emerged from his back. She unleased Divine Purification Flame in green and white.
Apparently, Warrior Saint Canglan—inside the Nine-heavens Maiden—was the one who called the shots now.
“Breaking into Empress’ palace a capital offence! ”
Cold muderous aura radiated from the Nine-heavens Maiden`s eyes.
Her phoenix wings spread out like two sabers. They gathered countless Precepts and slashed towards Saint Lord Wu Xin.
This pair of phoenix wings contained half of the power left by the late Frostfire Phoenix. It was like a powerful ancient Supreme Saint artifact that possessed incredible power.
“You’re quite a character. I shall play with you.”
Saint Lord Wu Xin raised the skull staff in his hands and instantly released two violent wind gusts of malicious energy. It collided with the phoenix wings.
BANG!
The phoenix wings were blocked, and even the divine fire on them was destroyed.
A serious expression appeared in the eyes of the Nine-heavens Maiden. She truly felt how terrifying Saint Lord Wu Xin was.
The Nine-heavens Maiden mobilized her spiritual power. With a slight wave of her hand, she sent out Sacred Confucian Tome.
“Form a formation! Seal the heavens and suppress the Earth.”
The 72 Court Saintesses moved at the same time and instantly formed a battle formation. They transferred all their energies to the Nine-heavens Maiden and activated Sacred Confucian Tome together.
Their individual strengths weren’t considered top-notch, but they worked together seamlessly. On top of that, their battle formation specially designed by Empress Chi Yao could multiply their strength.
Huala
Sacred Confucian Tome was flipping. Myriad of bright light spots flew out. Each light spot was a written character.
The light spots became as huge as stars. They contained immense power and could crush everything.
A trace of mischievous smile flashed in the eyes of Saint Lord Wu Xin. The skull staff in his hand released a boundless evil aura. The next moment, animated corpses appeared one after another, charging at them without any scruples.
On the other side, Xue Wuye, Friar Lidi, Beigong Lan, Gai Tianjiao, Chi Wansui, and Mi Yingzi stood in a line in front of the other elites of Imperial Court. They had all taken out their Realm Seals.
The power of the six Realm Seals stacked together and released a dazzling divine light. An illusory image of Empress Chi Yao appeared, and her divine might was unparalleled.
Perhaps it was because they were in Yuanchu Palace, the power of the Realm Seals had increased. Waves of divine power gathered from all directions.
KABOOM!
A large number of strong Saint Kings from Heavenly Realm and its allies rushed into the palace building like an unstoppable torrent. In an instant, they destroyed Empress Chi Yao’s illusory image.
The six Realm Bearers all trembled and spat out blood. They could not help but retreat. They were considered strong to be able to attain their current level in such a short time. However, they had barely reached Nine-Step Saint King realm because their cultvation period was not long enough.
In Kunlun, they were deemed as top elites. Unfortunately, compared to the cultivators of powerful Macroworlds, they were nothing.
They were aware that they were not strong enough. Hence, from the beginning, they chose to form the battle formation designed by Empress Chi Yao to fight the enemies together.
Empress Chi Yao had once designed a battle formation for the nine Realm Bearers. As long as there were two people, they could use it. Of course, the more people there were, the more powerful the battle formation would be.
Even so, facing the attacks of many elites from Heavenly Realm and its allies, they did not have the strength to retaliate.
The situation faced by other elites of Central Imperial Court was even worse.
The Divine Marks in the palace were constantly disintegrating. Hence, these elites were left with no way to retreat.
These Central Imperial Court elites were all indignant, their eyes filled with despair. At this point, they were meeting their death; there was no hope left.
“Kunlun will live forever. One day, you all shall pay for this! ”
A Heavenly King of the Military growled unyieldingly. His hair was disheveled, his body covered in blood.
He rushed into Xing Yuan, the elite from the Fane of Merit. His body lit up with flame, cracks forming in his Saint Source, releasing a violent force.
Xing Yuan put his palms together and used dense Saint Qi to wrap around the Heavenly King. No matter how hard the Heavenly King struggled, he could not break through the restraint from the two big hands.
BOOM!
The Heavenly King exploded and turned into a cloud of blood mist.
The violent explosion shook Xing Yuan’s hands slightly.
“We shall pay for this? You are too naive. Kunlun is doomed for sure this time, and no one can stop it.
“So what if you self-destruct your Saint Source? Your cultivation base is so puny that you can’t harm me by self-destructing. The weak are really pathetic,” Xing Yuan said disdainfully as he shook his sleeves.
Previously, outside Peacock Manor, he had witnessed Shang Ziyan get killed and could not stop it. He received a heavy punishment after returning to Fane of Merit. This time, he had come to redeem himself.
Xing Yuan was angry. He was not Zhang Ruochen’s match, but killing the other cultivators of Kunlun was not difficult.
Seeing this, the hearts of Central Imperial Court elites sank to the bottom.
The gap in strength between Central Imperial Court elites and Heavenly Realm faction was too wide. How could Central Imperial Court elites resist their attack?
Despair was the only thing left within them even when they did not ask for it.
On the other side, many powerful enemies pounced at Chi Kongyue. After all, capturing Chi Kongyue alive was the most important mission.
An elven Saint King waved the jade staff in her hand and released powerful spiritual power in an attempt to forcefully control Chi Kongyue.
Her spiritual power had reached level 59, so she could easily control Chi Kongyue, who had just become a Four-Step Saint King not long ago.
“How dare you attack our little princess Kongyue? You will have to get past me.”
Mastadon-Devouring Rabbit roared and rushed out of Chi Kongyue’s arms.
Powerful Demonic Qi surged out of Mastadon-Devouring Rabbit’s body. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a Heaven-devourer Dragon that was a thousand feet long.
If not for the Dimensional restriction imposed on the palace, it wouldn’t have been a problem for Mastadon-Devouring Rabbit to turn into a dozen miles long Heaven-devourer Dragon with its current strength.
The elven Saint King immediately changed her target and attacked Guoguo with her powerful spiritual power.
“How come it’s useless?”
The elven Saint King was shocked.
Her spiritual power was totally useless against Guoguo . It did not have any effect on Guoguo. Just as she was in a daze, Guoguo pounced forward and clawed out with its sharp dragon claws.
Although she quickly reacted by releaseing her spiritual power with all her might, it was still ineffective against Guoguo.
Thud!
The dragon claws descended and smashed the elven Saint King’s body into pieces.
“Use spiritual power against me? Huh? You have no idea that I’ve eaten Divine Herbs so I’m immune to spiritual power attack. Hehe.” Guoguo revealed two of its rabbit teeth and snickered.
Every leaf of Sacred Seven-star Lingzhi had a special effect. The green dragon leaf could increase spiritual power, but more importantly, it could make living beings immune to spiritual power attacks.
Although Mastadon-Devouring Rabbit’s martial cultivation had just reached Precept Domain, its spiritual power had already reached the peak of level 59.
In terms of spiritual power, not many cultivators below Supreme Sainthood could be a threat to it.
At this moment, it launched an attack by releasing its spiritual power to envelop the elites from Heavenly Realm Faction.
Instantly, many elites were affected. Some of them even fell into a state of shock.
“You all shall be my food.”
Guoguo shouted loudly. It opened its huge dragon mouth, charging at the elites from Heavenly Realm faction.
At the same time, Demon Ape’s body became thirty feet tall. It hugged Chi Kongyue in its arms and ran throughin the palace in an astonishing speed.
If not for the fact that there were about dozen of leaders from the Heavenly Realm faction guarding the entrance of the palace, it would have already escaped with Chi Kongyue.
On the back of Demon Ape, there was a gigantic black turtle shell. In fact, it was covered with natural patterns, containing all sorts of unfathomable mysteries.
The speed of Demon Ape was too fast, to the extent that not many elites from the Heavenly Realm faction were able to catch up to it.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
An elite cultivating Path of Flowing Light caught up to Demon Ape and slashed out with his Saint Sword.
CLANG!
The Sword Light struck the turtle shell on Demon Ape’s back, making metallic clanging sounds. However, it didn’t cause any damage. In fact, there was not even a trace of damage.
That elite was shocked. He slashed out a few more strikes.
The other powerful Saint Kings attacked together. Some used Saint Techniques, and some used Saint Artifacts. They were trying to drown Demon Ape with all attacks.
All of the attacks landed on Demon Ape’s body. However, Demon Ape was completely fine. Not even a strand of hair fell off.
“What kind of monster is this? Its cultivation is only at Precept Domain, but why is its body so strong? Has its physical condition reached Neverwither state?”
The cultivators who had just attacked were all shocked.
They didn’t know that Demon Ape had eaten Xuanwu Leaf of Sacred Seven-star Lingzhi. It had a very strong physique and unparalleled power.
The tortoise shell on its back was obtained by refining the Xuanwu leaf.
Because of this, Demon Ape had a body comparable to the Neverwither physique. Ordinary attacks were like tickles to it. They could not harm it a bit.
Zhang Ruochen knew the abilities of Mastadon-Devouring Rabbit and Demon Ape so that he had specifically ordered them to protect Chi Kongyue.
Even if they encountered a powerful enemy that they couldn’t defeat, it shouldn’t be a problem for them to escape with Chi Kongyue.
..
“Realm Bearers? I shall kill all of you. I’ll end the hope of Kunlun.” A man in black with two swords on his back rushed forward with a fierce look in his eyes.
He was the second most powerful swordsman in Saber Empyrean, Xu Tianjing. After the Young Sword Master died, he became the new leader of Saber Empyrean.
The previous leader of Saber Empyrean had died in Kunlun, which was a great shame to Saber Empyrean.
Therefore, Saber Empyrean was very active in targeting Saturn Peach Tree and Zhang Ruochen. They had sent a large number of powerful cultivators.
Xu Tianjing glanced at Xue Wuye. His eyes were cold. “You’re really lucky. I’d like to see who can save you this time.”
As he spoke, Xu Tianjing pulled out a sword. It was thin and soft, like a willow leaf. It shook endlessly, forming countless afterimages.
Xue Wuye’s pupils constricted. He quickly activated the Mark of Time in his hand to maximize his speed. He displayed the eighth sword technique of Flying Fairy Sword Technique.
At the same time, Friar Lidi pounced over and slashed at Xu Tianjing with his blade, Buddhist Butcher.
Gai Tianjiao released an intense Yang aura. It was like a blazing sun, causing the temperature in the entire palace to rise.
Beigong Lan entered a wondrous state of becoming one with his sword. She activated the power of the Saint Sword and merged everything she had learned into one sword attack.
Mi Yingzi activated her powerful spiritual power. While casting illusions, she created many profound formation seals and tried her best to summon the power of heaven and earth.
Chi Wansui’s aura was also rising. He waved his Kylin Spear, displaying a force that could counter an army.
The six Realm Bearers did not hold back. They used their strongest techniques together to block Xu Tianjing’s sword.
BANG!
Xu Tianjing’s sword was unstoppable. It easily broke through the six Ream Bearers’ techniques.
The six Realm Bearers flew backward at the same time. There were bloody holes on their bodies, and Saint blood kept flowing. Their eyes were full of shock. The six of them were not Xu Tianjing’s match.
If it were not for the protection of Realm Seals, they might have died under Xu Tianjing’s sword.
…
“A bunch of trash. They can’t even deal with two beasts!”
Accompanied by a cold berating voice, a beautiful woman with a graceful figure entered the palace.
She was the leader of Ruiya Realm, Saint King Fang Ze. Although she was beautiful, she was ruthless.
Ruiya Realm also suffered heavy losses in Kunlun. The two outstanding disciples of two Fanes were killed, which made the higher-ups of Ruiya Realm extremely dissatisfied.
If not for that, they would not have sent Saint King Fang Ze here.
“Witch, who are you calling an animal? Come here, I can’t kill you,”Mastadon-Devouring Rabbit shouted.
A cold light flashed in Saint King Fang Ze’s eyes. She raised her hand, and hundreds of thousands of palm Precepts appeared. They combined with the majestic Saint Qi and formed a huge flame holy furnace, which crashed toward Mastadon-Devouring Rabbit.
Mastadon-Devouring Rabbit glared and immediately shouted, “Stupid demonic ape, hurry up and block it.”
It was rare that Demon Ape did not bicker with Mastadon-Devouring Rabbit. It used its fastest speed to flash over and block in front of the pot.
RAWRRRR!
Demon Ape let out an earth-shaking roar and punched out with majestic demonic qi.
BANG
The sacred flame furnace exploded, and flames flew in all directions.
The demon ape retreated more than ten steps, stabilizing itself and shaking its arm.
Fang ze was too strong. Even with his immortal body, he couldn’t handle it.
“Huh? It’s really hard, but it can’t stop me.”
Saint King Fang Ze displayed an exquisite movement technique, as if he was dancing, catching up to the demon ape in an instant.
With a wave of his hand, Saint King Fang Ze took out a stele, and suppressed the demon ape.
At the same time, he turned his hand into a claw, and grabbed towards Chi Kongyue in the Demon Ape’s embrace.
“Kongyue.”
The expression of the Nine-heavens Maiden changed, and she wanted to rush over to save him.
“You dare to be distracted while fighting against me?”
Saint Lord Wu Xin laughed savagely, and raised the skull staff in his hand.
The skull staff emitted a dim light, and it released a boundless evil aura. There was also a strange and terrifying ghost king hidden within, and it was faintly discernible.
Chi
The Ghost Lord broke through the defenses of Sacred Confucian Tome and unleashed a powerful spiritual attack.
Mystic Maiden of the nine heavens revealed a pained expression. She felt as if her sacred soul was about to be torn apart.
Just as the Saint King Fang Ze was about to touch Chi Kongyue, a figure appeared in front of Chi Kongyue and used his body to block the Saint King Fang Ze’s sharp claws.
It was none other than Xue Wuye who appeared.
“You’re courting death.”
King Fangze’s eyes were filled with killing intent. His sharp claws directly pierced Xue Wuye’s body.
Xue Wuye’s injuries worsened. He spat out blood and fell straight down. Zhang Ruochen had saved his life. Now, it was time to pay back his life.
“Uncle Wuye.”
Chi Kongyue shouted and quickly threw out a talisman.
The Talisman released a Blinding Silver Lightning and released seven terrifying bolts of lightning that struck towards the Saint King Fang Ze.
“Little girl, are you still unwilling to accept your fate?”
The Saint King Fang Ze did not care and lifted his hand to destroy all the lightning.
As the leader of Ruiya Realm, her strength was already very close to the first level of the Supreme Saint realm. How could she be easily blocked?
However, just as the Saint King Fang Ze was about to grab Chi Kongyue again, she suddenly sensed something.
She could not help but switch from offense to defense. She even took back the sacred tablet.
“You’re courting death.”
A cold voice spread throughout the palace.
A peerless sword radiance appeared and sliced open the space behind the Saint King Fang Ze. Following that, the peerless sword radiance slashed the sacred tablet away and broke through all of the Saint King Fang Ze’s defenses.
Crack!
King Fangze’s Saint Body was cut in half at the waist. Even her Saint Soul was cut in half.
When the two halves of her body were thrown back, her eyes were wide open and full of fear.
“What a powerful sword Qi.”
“Who is it?”
..
Everyone looked outside the palace. They saw a tall figure holding a saint sword reflected in their eyes.
“Zhang Ruochen.”
Many powerful figures of Heavenly Realm faction gasped.
They had never thought that so many top saint king realm powerful figures who had shocked the world would surround and kill Zhang Ruochen. They had set up an inescapable net, but they still let him break into the primordial beginning palace.
Had the outside world been defeated?
