BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2204 - The Final Moment
Chapter 2204: The Final Moment
The peerless saber light burst out and it was destroying everything on sight. No matter how strong the space was, it was cut open.
Nether Fiend used the Deva Path of Vile Nether to activate an ancient and powerful Nether Artifact filled with Evil Qi. It was a huge eyeball with the terrifying ability to steal and strip souls.
The entire world became gray the moment the eyeball appeared. A strong aura of death spread out as if Hell had descended.
“Die, Zhang Ruochen!”
Jadesky Bone Emperor shouted and threw the Bone Tower in his hand with all his strength.
The Bone Tower grew with the wind. It was three thousand meters tall and covered in mysterious arcane runes. Rays of jade light shot out and enveloped Zhang Ruochen.
The jade light looked beautiful, but it was terrifying. It could corrode bones and melt away souls, turning everything into nothingness.
At the same time, the other elites of the Stone Clan, the Nether Clan, and the Bone Clan also attacked with their strongest attacks. Some were high-level saint techniques, some were each of the clan’s own Deva Path, and some were powerful weapons.
“Who dares to stop me?” Zhang Ruochen roared. He had the power that no one could overthrow him. He spread his hands and mobilized his saint qi like moving the clouds. He deployed the two Supreme Artifacts, the Zangshan Demonic Mirror and the Golden Sun of Destruction.
The Zangshan Demonic Mirror had the power to suppress all things. Ancient sacred mountains began to appear one after another and crashed into the three Bone cultivators led by Jadesky Bone Emperor.
The Golden Sun of Destruction released a powerful Yang Qi to counter yin and evil. It clashed with the five Nether cultivators led by Nether Fiend.
Rumble
Zhang Ruochen fought against the eight top-notch Saint King elites of the two clans alone.
The majestic illusory mountain and the divine sun-like Golden Sun of Destruction forced the eight elites to retreat. They could barely resist the impact.
The Illusory Tower deployed byJadesky Bone Emperor and the Divine Eye of Devour deployed by Nether Fiend were both weapons comparable to Supreme Artifacts. However, they were on the verge of collapse at this moment.
“This is too terrifying!”
“The power of the Golden Sun of Destruction is too hot. I can feel that my body is being scorched and refined. I can’t hold on much longer!”
…
Ever since Zhang Ruochen obtained the Golden Sun of Destruction, he rarely used it in battle. He stashed it in the Divine Light Sea of Qi to adjust his Yang Qi. It was hundreds of thousands of times stronger than an ordinary person’s. At the same time, it helped refine his Saint Qi, Soul, and Physique.
Of course, it could also store Saint Qi for emergencies.
This is why the Golden Sun of Destruction was now compatible with Zhang Ruochen. As if it was meant for him.
The Golden Sun of Destruction could unleash incredible power in Zhang Ruochen’s hand even though it was refined into Supreme Artifact recently. Its power could be on par with the Zangshan Demonic Mirror.
Rumble
Eight Saint King elites from the Infernal Court were forced back by the Zangshan Demonic Mirror and the Golden Sun of Destruction.
The two Supreme Artifacts hovered above Zhang Ruochen to protect him. He opened the Secret Tome of Time and Space and turned to the page that recorded the Dimensional Tide. He mobilized all the Precepts of Dimension in him and used this dimensional technique with all his might.
With the help of the Secret Tome of Time and Space, the power of the Dimensional Tide doubled.
The power of the tide surged forward.
At the same time, Zhang Ruochen swam like a fish in the Dimensional Tide, as he moved forward at full speed. Although it was life-threatening, he had to take the chance because Yan WuShen could catch up with him any time now.
He could not afford to be entangled by Yan Wushen.
“Zhang Ruochen, I’m still here! Do you think you can fight against the top-notch Saint King elites of the three clans all by yourself?” said Shi Juexin.
The attacks of the Stone Clan elites led by Shi Juexin temporarily stopped the Dimensional Tide.
The cultivators of the Bone clan and the Nether Clan gathered their strength and attacked again.
Boom
Zhang Ruochen’s Profound Spatial Dimension was pierced through. The Power of Curse fell on him, and the sacred artifact of the Stone Clan cultivators pierced through his chest.
Zhang Ruochen gritted his teeth and forced his way through. He appeared in front of Shi Juexin and the Ancient Abyssal Blade flew out and stabbed Shi Juexin in an instant.
“You… you …” said Shi Juexin.
Shi Juexin’s pupils were constricted. He wanted to dodge immediately, but it was too late.
He had to mobilize his power and defend with all his strength. Countless natural and profound arcane runes appeared on his body.
Crack
A clear cracking sound rang out and clear cracks appeared on Shi Juexin’s chest.
The next moment, Zhang Ruochen passed through. Shi Juexin’s huge body shattered into thousands of pieces of gravel.
“How is this possible?” Shi Juexin asked.
Shi Juexin’s head was the last to shatter. His eyes were wide open. He couldn’t believe it.
The bodies of the Stone Clan were the hardest. The Stone Clan was known for their indestructible body, and Shi Juexin was one of the best clansmen. Only a few under the Supreme Sainthood could break through his defenses.
As for breaking his stone body, it shouldn’t have happened.
This was the first time in his life that his stone body was shattered.
Shi Juexin’s shattered body was pieced back together in the blink of an eye as if nothing happened before.
However, Shi Juexin’s breath has weakened a lot and he was badly injured.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen had already broken through the seal. He appeared in front of the dimensional teleportation array and protected Bookworm and Moha behind him.
Zhang Ruochen’s breath fluctuated greatly. The Blood Qi in his body surged violently like waves. It was almost breaking out of him.
There was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. He had made a great sacrifice for forcing his way in.
“You guys heal quickly. I’ll hold them off for a while,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Moha nodded. “Okay.”
“I have never shown admiration to anyone before, but I have to admire you, Zhang Ruochen. You are a real hero,” Bookworm said.
The two immediately calmed down and seized the time to heal their wounds.
They had absorbed a large amount of the Spring of Life in them, but they had no time to make good use of it.
After enduring for so long, they can finally relax a bit.
With The Book of Death hovered above Yan Wushen, he stepped forward and locked his eyes on Zhang Ruochen and he said in a deep voice, “Zhang Ruochen, since you care so much about the Saturn Peach Tree, I will lock its spatial coordinates first and then fight you to the death.”
Yan Wushen’s body surged with the Primordial Infernal Yama Qi as he spoke. He poured it into the Book of Death and controlled the divine force of Yama contained within.
Suddenly, a majestic phantom god of the Yanluo clan appeared. It was vivid and lifelike as if it wanted to cross the River of Time and descend to the present world.
Yan Wushen had once again displayed the Deva Path of the Yanluo clan by borrowing the power of the Book of Death. The power that could swirl up everything enveloped Zhang Ruochen and even covered the entire Microworld.
Yan Wushen and the phantom god were completely in sync, and their actions were identical.
As Yan Wushen pressed down with one hand, the phantom god’s palm also pressed down. A huge whirlpool appeared in his palm. The arcane light of life and death swirled within.
Seeing this, Shi Juexin and the others didn’t hesitate. They joined hands with Yan Wushen.
Shi Juexin, in particular, looked like he was going all out. He used a large amount of his Qi to summon a gray mountain.
This mountain was enormous. It was 30,000 meters tall and contained boundless Power of Death. As soon as it appeared, a stifling deathly stillness spread quickly.
Zhang Ruochen was facing more than a dozen Saint King elites from the Infernal Court by himself. He looked up at the phantom god and the 30,000 meters tall mountain. His heart was calm, his eyes were filled with determination to face death with ease.
Crash
He summoned the Zangshan Demonic Mirror and the Golden Sun of Destruction. At the same time, he condensed the Profound Spatial Dimension, the River of Time, and the REalm-frame of Truth. He tried his best to defend using all his might.
“I must hold up the defense,” Zhang Ruochen murmured.
He had no way to retreat now. What’s behind him was the hope of Kunlun. It represented the fate of the billions of lives in Kunlun. It was worth risking his life to protect it.
Bookworm and Moha pulled themselves together again. They didn’t care how badly they were injured. They activated the array formations of Rainbow Pavilion and the Sacred Confucian Tome with all their strength.
At this moment, they couldn’t let Zhang Ruochen take it on alone.
Boom
The extremely violent power drowned Zhang Ruochen and the others.
Yan Wushen and the others weren’t worried about the dimensional teleportation array being damaged. After all, with Master Fangcun’s dimensional attainments, even a top-notch Supreme Saint wouldn’t be able to destroy this dimensional teleportation array easily.
In an instant, all the defenses of Zhang Ruochen and the other two were destroyed. However, they still managed to block this round of attacks.
Zhang Ruochen stood at the front and defended Bookworm and Moha from most of the attacks.
As a result, Zhang Ruochen’s injuries worsened, and he spat out a mouthful of Saint Blood.
“Hurry up and find that High-Saing Talisman Master. Brother Ruochen can’t hold on much longer!” Xiang Chunan was extremely anxious. He wished to rush up and fight alongside Zhang Ruochen.
Unfortunately, Xiang Chunan was being held back by Feng Yan.
Feng Yan was also extremely anxious. No matter how strong Zhang Ruochen was, he was just standing there as a target. How many rounds of attacks could he block?
Once Zhang Ruochen fell, their side would not be so far from annihilation.
Maiden of a Thousand Stars frowned. She was frustrated that she couldn’t locate the High-Saint Talisman Master because he had hidden too well. She had already used up all her tricks in her sleeves, but there was still no clue.
“You’re struggling on the verge of death. Since you dare to obstruct the affair of Infernal Court, then you must have the will to die. All of you should obediently hand over your Saint Soul and I shall devour them,” Lan Xuezi said with a cruel smile.
Great Prince Bloodwing snorted coldly and said, “No matter how you struggle, you won’t be able to escape the fate of becoming my food.”
Xiang Chunan and Feng Yan were both enraged by Great Prince Bloodwing’s words. If it wasn’t for Maiden of a Thousand Stars, who was still searching for the High-Saint Talisman Master, they would have already rushed over and joined the encirclement of Lan Xuezi and the Great Prince Bloodwing.
Boom
Suddenly, a divine light flashed across the sky above the Rainbow Pavilion. A powerful force crashed down, shaking the whole world.
Feng Yan revealed a joyful face and said, “They are all attacking from the outside and trying to break the Realm-sealing Talisman. That force just now was incredible.”
Just when that force crashed into the Rainbow Pavilion’s barrier, Maiden of a Thousand Stars finally found the trail of the High-Saint Talisman Master. Instantly, her confidence skyrocketed.
Maiden of a Thousand Stars hoped that if there’s a few attacks, she would be able to find the High-Saint Talisman Master.
…
Outside the Rainbow Pavilion.
Both the sky and the ground were full of cultivators.
Zhang Ruochen’s arrival on the Altar of Saints had caused too much of a ruckus. In addition, the accident in the Ziwei Palace had made all the cultivators in the imperial city realize that something big had happened.
At the same time, there was news from the Celestial Court. It seemed to be the matter of life and death of Kunlun.
Although they were unsure of the exact situation in the Rainbow Pavilion, many cultivators still rushed over as fast as they could.
The most active ones were naturally the cultivators of Kunlun.
Since the Central Imperial City was surrounded by tens of millions of Saint soldiers from the Infernal Court, the Saint cultivators of Kunlun had come from all over.
Kunlun’s cultivators had lived in the imperial city and were bullied everywhere by the cultivators of the Celestial Court before this.
It was Zhang Ruochen who had issued the decree and allowed them to stand tall. Thus, most of the cultivators of Kunlun respected Zhang Ruochen.
That was why they had rushed to the Rainbow Pavilion at this time.
Even though most of them had low cultivation, they had come without hesitation. They wanted to do their part to protect Kunlun.
This included the owner of Welkin Lounge, Chu Xiangyun.
Back then, he seemed to cower in fear when he faced the leader of the Saber Empyrean. He was afraid of death and lived without dignity.
But now, he walked with his head held high. His eyes were firm and fearless.
It had to be said that everything Zhang Ruochen did had a huge impact on him. It had almost changed his life.
Unfortunately, the Rainbow Pavilion was enveloped by the Realm-sealing Talisman. No matter how many cultivators gathered here, they couldn’t break it. They were all blocked outside.
Whoosh
A dazzling jade divine light tore through the sky and descended outside the Rainbow Pavilion.
All the cultivators present were attracted by the jade divine light.
The jade divine light’s true form was a jadeite ruler. It was 3 meters long. There were many fine scales on it. As soon as it appeared, it crazily absorbed Saint Qi of heaven and earth.
Under the jadeite ruler, there stood a graceful figure. Her body was shrouded in nine-colored saint light, and she stepped on the void like an immortal.
She was none other than the Nine-heavens Maiden who had left earlier.
“This aura… is the Imperial Ruler.”
A Saint King of Kunlun couldn’t help but exclaim.
The Inscription Guild was completely open to the public. Any Saint King cultivator of Kunlun could go to the Imperial Ruler to comprehend the Path. Therefore, there were quite a few people who had come into contact with the Imperial Ruler.
However, no one had expected that the Nine-heavens Maiden could bring the Imperial Ruler out of the Inscription Guild.
This was truly a Divine Artifact, which usually only existed in legends. As an eternal and indestructible Macroworld like Kunlun, only ten artifacts appeared in hundreds of millions of years.
“Milady, what exactly happened?” A saint of the imperial court asked.
At this point, the Nine-heavens Maiden would not hide it anymore and she said seriously, “An elite from the Infernal Court entered the Rainbow Pavilion through the Voidbridge of Chaos. He intended to destroy the spiritual roots of Kunlun.”
Hearing this, all the cultivators of Kunlun were shocked and then furious.
“Such a thing happened. We must not let the scheme of the Infernal Court succeed.”
“Yes, even if I have to die, I will stop Hell.”
“Kunlun has finally produced a new spiritual root of heaven and earth, which is the hope of our Kunlun, more important than our lives.”
“Although I am weak, I am not afraid of a battle with the Infernal Court. Milady, please lead us into the Rainbow Pavilion to protect the spiritual roots of the world and Kunlun.”
…
All the cultivators of Kunlun were in high spirits and their blood was boiling.
In the face of righteousness, they did not care about their own lives.
“Then let us fight together for Kunlun, live for Kunlun, and die for Kunlun,” the Nine-heavens Maiden said with a determined look in her eyes.
As she spoke, she mobilized her Saint Qi and spiritual power to activate the Imperial Ruler to its fullest.
Billions of complicated Divine Marks appeared on the surface of the Imperial Ruler, and majestic divine force surged out.
BOOM!
A resplendent ruler’s light burst forth and ruthlessly struck the barrier.
The barrier trembled violently, but it wasn’t broken.
The Nine-heaven Maiden’s current strength was not strong enough to unleash the power of the Imperial Ruler.
Of course, there was another important fact. There wasn’t a vessel spirit within the Imperial Ruler. Otherwise, a casual attack would have the means to destroy the world.
Even without a vessel spirit, not everyone could use it.
There was a vessel spirit mark in the Imperial Ruler. Only when it was recognized could it have temporary control.
“Milady, we will aid you.”
The Kunlun cultivators all attacked and gathered their power on the Nine-heavens Maiden.
The Saint Light and divine light on the Nine-heavens Maiden became more and more dazzling, like a sun hanging in the sky. She activated the Imperial Ruler again and launched an even more powerful attack.
With the Imperial Ruler and the power of tens of thousands of cultivators of Kunlun, she believes that she could break the seal of the Realm-sealing Talisman.
In the Rainbow Pavilion.
After the Realm-sealing Talisman was attacked many times, Maiden of a Thousand Stars finally caught the aura of the High-Saint Talisman Master.
Maiden of a Thousand Stars used her sleeve to wipe the sweat off her forehead. The pressure on her shoulder was lifted instantly. Then, a cold glint appeared in her bright and beautiful eyes, she said, “Detestable fellow, you’ve made me spend so much time on locating you. Let’s see just how capable you are.”
“Divine Crusher of Origin.”
She released all of her spiritual energy without holding back and turning it into a spinning spiritual energy crusher. Combining both of her spiritual energy and the Power of Origin.
The High-Saint Talisman Master who was in charge of controlling the Realm-sealing Talisman was a skinny Deathkin elite.
He was sitting cross-legged in the middle of a pile of rocks. As he was covered in talismans, the space around him turned into half-empty space. Because of this, even Maiden of a Thousand Stars’ Divine Eye of Origin couldn’t reveal him.
It was almost impossible for anyone below the Supreme Sainthood to find his tracks.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and revealed a strange expression. He said, “Oh? What a powerful spiritual energy attack, and… It’s the Power of Origin.”
This Deathkin High-Saint Talisman Master didn’t dare to underestimate his opponent. He hurriedly released his spiritual energy and formed an illusory defensive barrier. There were thirty-six shields appeared on the barrier.
Although Maiden of a Thousand Stars wasn’t a High-Saint Talisman Master yet, her spiritual energy was astonishing. It wasn’t much weaker than that Deathkin High-Saint Talisman Master.
With the Power of Origin, the might of the Divine Crusher of Origin was not ordinary.
Therefore, although it was only defense, it consumed almost 90% of the Deathkin High-Saint Talisman Master’s spiritual power and was completely restrained.
As a result, his control over the Realm-sealing Talisman was greatly weakened.
Boom
With the joint efforts of the Nine-heavens Maiden and many Kunlun cultivators, the Imperial Ruler was finally able to break the barrier and tear a hole that was hundreds of meters wide.
“It is undoubtedly the aura of the Infernal Court’s cultivators. Let’s attack together and end them once and for all. Charge!”
“Charge!”
Accompanied by earth-shaking shouts, the cultivators gathered here rushed into the Rainbow Pavilion through the gap like a tide.
