Chapter 2356 - The Ultimate Battle
Zhang Ruochen observed and comprehended carefully. He knew too little about Oblivion.
Every time, Que’s body turned into oblivion. Zhang Ruochen’s vision and spiritual power couldn’t sense his existence. However, in an instant, Yan Wushen and Lan Ying released a domain that could force him out again.
Yan Wushen hasn’t cultivated the Path of Destiny, but he has cultivated the Light of Origin. He’s becoming more and more difficult to deal with. This person is my enemy for life.’ Zhang Ruochen.
No one had ever put so much pressure on Zhang Ruochen.
No one had ever received such a high evaluation from Zhang Ruochen.
Although Zhang Ruochen had fought Yan Wushen three times and Yan Wui seemed to be slightly better than him three times, he had used all his trump cards and won very narrowly.
If he was not careful, he might lose.
In the Infernal Court, Zhang Ruochen had the help of the Sundial and all kinds of opportunities, but he still could not pull the gap between the two.
He suspected that he would be surpassed by Yan Wushen if he relaxed a little.
Yan Wushen’s existence was like a fierce beast chasing after Zhang Ruochen. Sometimes, he could even keep up with him, forcing Zhang Ruochen to not dare to stop.
Of course, Zhang Ruochen was not afraid of such an opponent. On the contrary, he hoped that there would be more such opponents.
Only in this way could he always keep an enterprising and hard-working heart.
Humans could not live without pressure.
Wargod Bloodximius would not have been able to reach his current cultivation level after just over 100,000 years of cultivation if it hadn’t been for Huang Tian during the last Yuanhui period.
The Light of Origin was a light that could only be formed when one cultivated the Path of Origin to an extremely high level. It was known as the first ray of light at the birth of the world.
With the Light of Origin, there would be all things.
This light could create all things, destroy all things, and reshape all things.
Of course, all things included the cultivator himself.
Where the Light of Origin shone, the soil, water, trees, and flowers all turned into tiny particles that were difficult to see with the naked eye. The entire world was like sand, and it was rapidly disintegrating.
Even Que was affected by the Light of Origin shone on him.
There was a Power of Oblivion surrounding his body, blocking the Light of Origin. His body did not decompose. However, the Power of Oblivion was also suppressed.
The Path of the Ancients countered each other.
‘The Light of Origin can suppress the Oblivion, forcing Que to show up and fight them. Can Dimension and Time do the same?’ Zhang Ruochen wondered.
Zhang Ruochen thought of a strategy to deal with the oblivion and Que, but he was disappointed to find out. If Que entered the oblivion state, he could only use Dimension and Time to escape immediately. At most, he could only guarantee his life.
Not more than five people could survive Que’s pursuit in the Thousand-Koan Realm. Wujiang, Luo Shengtian, and even Yan Huangtu might not be able to do so.
There were very few Supreme Saints in the Thousand-Koan Realm who could survive a fight with Que.
Zhang Ruochen was confident that he could survive. It seemed to be a great achievement, but it was not what he wanted.
Zhang Ruochen could only save himself by fleeing because once Que entered oblivion, he would no longer be in Time and Dimension and could no longer be harmed.
It was a state of jumping out of the three realms and out of the five elements.
“I’ve got it! Null time,” said Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes lit up.
Null time had something in common with oblivion, which might be able to restrain it.
The so-called null time was actually time that was out of the scope of the Precepts of Time. It was no longer in time.
The reality was positive.
Null was negative.
People always stood at a certain point in the River of Time. Time was in front of them and null time was behind them.
If Zhang Ruochen’s time attainments were higher, he would be able to condense more Self-Defined Marks of Time. Then, he could combine them with the Null Time realm he had cultivated to form the Absolute Null Time realm.
The Absolute Null Time realm would definitely be able to restrain Que.
If the Absolute Null Time realm was strong enough, it was very likely that there would be time reversal. In other words, time was negative.
Even a moment of time reversal was enough for Zhang Ruochen to do a lot of things.
However, it was too difficult to reverse time. With Zhang Ruochen’s current time attainments, he could only condense several Self-Defined Marks of Time at one time. It was still far from condensing the Absolute Null Time realm.
“Is there really no way at this point?” Zhang Ruochen stated.
Zhang Ruochen had always thought that Que must be under some kind of restriction, so he did not dare to kill anyone on the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting. This speculation was confirmed at that moment. He had been restrained in his fight with Lan Ying and Yan Wushen.
But what about after leaving the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting?
How could he fight with him then?
Zhang Ruochen sighed softly and closed his eyes. He completely immersed his mind to perceive the power in Que.
‘Time and Dimension are part of the Path of the Ancients. They must be able to restrict Oblivion in some way. The reason why I find it difficult to deal with it must be because I don’t understand Oblivion well enough.’ Zhang Ruochen thought.
Gradually, the sounds of battle became softer and softer.
Zhang Ruochen’s heart became more and more tranquil. He entered a mystic realm. Specks of starlight scattered from his body and evolved into a starry world in the Profound Spatial Dimension.
The Heart of Truth shone brightly in his body.
All of a sudden, Que’s movement in the distance, the changes in his moves, and the changes in his footwork appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s mind.
This strange realm lasted for a moment and then disappeared.
Zhang Ruochen suddenly opened his eyes and smiled, he said, “My Path of Time and Dimension have not cultivated the Saintwill, let alone the augmentation of the Canon. At present, it is indeed difficult to fight against Que’s Oblivion.
“However, in the Path of Truth, I not only have the Canon, but also the Heart of Truth. How can Que’s oblivion escape the perception of the Heart of Truth?”
Zhang Ruochen suddenly understood.
At the same time, he made up his mind to find Saint Monk Xumi’s final resting place immediately after the Celestial-Hunting Festival.
Only there would he have a chance to find the Canon of Time and Canon of Dimension. Only then could he achieve a big breakthrough in his Path of Time and Dimension.
Zhang Ruochen used the Heart of Truth to sense him and Que felt a chill run down his spine while he was fighting with Lan Ying and Yan Wushen.
Que immediately realized that there must be a powerhouse hiding nearby.
‘Forget it. Let’s end this quickly.’ Que thought.
Que was uneasy. He stopped fighting with Lan Ying and Yan Wushen.
A long sword flew out from between his eyebrows and fell into his hand. The sword was four feet and two inches long and as thin as a cicada’s wings. It emitted a dazzling white light, like a sword condensed from light.
SWOOSH!
Que swung his sword backward with no grace. The Sword Qi shone like divine moonlight. It landed at an awkward angle on Yan Wushen’s Golden Giant Mode.
Yan Wushen’s defense was probably not much weaker than Yan Huangtu’s Royal Divine Frame with the Half-Buddha Physique and the golden body.
Whoosh
The sword dragged on the golden arm, emitting golden spots of light.
Yan Wushen was unable to block it in the end, and his huge golden body was sent flying.
A shallow sword scar appeared on his arm.
Yan Wushen’s heart trembled. Que’s seemingly casual sword had fused with the Power of Oblivion, and it had almost broken through his golden body.
On the other side, Que’s sword had broken through Lan Ying’s embryonic universe, leaving a deep gash on his tender face, and his head had almost been split into two.
Lan Ying and Yan Wushen stood on both sides of Que and stopped for a moment. Both of them were obviously shocked. They realized that Que had finally become serious and was a lot stronger than before.
Que’s body was sometimes illusory and sometimes real. He elegantly raised the long sword and gently stroked it with two fingers. He said, “This sword is my Imperial Artifact of Precept. It has always been nurtured by my Sainthood Source. Today is the fourth time it shows its appearance in front of people.
“If you don’t die today, you should remember its name, Kagemaru.”
Yan Wushen clenched his five fingers tightly. Golden light flashed and the sword mark on his arm disappeared. He smiled and said, “To cultivate an Imperial Artifact of Precept to your level, you can be considered the number one person below divinity in this Yuanhui period.”
Que said, “You don’t understand the meaning of the existence of the Imperial Artifact of Precepts. Was the Supreme Artifact very strong? Was a Divine Artifact very strong? Yes, they were! But, they were all external objects.
“If you want to truly become a peerless figure in the universe, you have to cultivate yourself.
“The Imperial Artifact of Precept is made up of the precepts that I have grasped. It is a part of me. The more perfect the Precepts I have comprehended, the more perfect it will be. “If my Path deviates, it will tell me immediately.
“My future is not to control a Divine Artifact, but to nurture my own Imperial Artifact of Precept into a Divine Artifact. A Divine Artifact is immortal, and I will be Immortal with it.”
Most cultivators cultivated the Imperial Artifact of Precept as if they were honing their own Path.
Very few cultivators actually used the Imperial Artifact of Precept as weapons.
For Que to be able to cultivate to such a high level, not only was his mind outstanding, but he also had a unique understanding of the Path. He was definitely not someone ordinary people could compare to.
“So, you have also cultivated the Swordsmanship, and you have even integrated the Swordsmanship and the Oblivion,” Lan Ying licked his lips and said with a stern smile. There was no fear in his
eyes.
Que raised his sword and stood proudly, he said, “How could I integrate the Swordsmanship and the Oblivion? I’m just walking the path of my predecessors. The Oblivion Sword was created many years ago after my master lost to the Sword of Time and spent a Yuanhui period creating it.
“Now, my master’s sword technique has reached the Mahayana stage. Unfortunately, the person who defeated him back then has already died. He won’t be able to avenge himself.”
Lan Ying’s hand reached into his chest and grabbed a blood-red sword from his flesh.
The sword was long and slender, and it emitted a demonic light.
“Since we’re both sword cultivators, why don’t you try my Sword of Asura first?”
THUMP!
Lan Ying’s finger flicked on the sword.
Instantly, Supreme Power and Qi of Slaughter surged outward.
Lan Ying had a total of six swords, and each of them was extraordinary. Two of them were Supreme Artifacts, while the other four were Divine Artifacts.
The Sword of Asura was ranked first among the six swords, so he brought it to the Celestial- Hunting Battlefield.
There were countless legends about the Sword of Asura. There was a saying that it once belonged to an ancient god Asura the Great. It was originally a Divine Artifact. The Sword of Asura, however, was shattered in an earth-shattering battle.
The Asura descendants had collected all the fragments and reforged the sword, but only one Supreme Artifact had been forged.
Lan Ying was able to obtain the Sword of Asura because he had climbed Mount Asura, the ancient god Asura’s burial ground.
No one knew what kind of opportunity Lan Ying had gotten on Mount Asura. They only knew that he had taken the Sword of Asura and cultivated the Asura Sword Technique after he left the mountain.
Que had already witnessed the power of the Sword of Asura after being pursued by Yan Huangtu and Lan Ying. “Zhang Ruochen, since you’re here, don’t hide any longer,” he said solemnly.
There was a strange look in the eyes of both Lan Ying and Yan Wushen.
Zhang Ruochen put away the Profound Spatial Dimension and revealed himself. He slowly walked toward them, “No wonder you’re ranked first in the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm,” he said. “You still have the strength to sense that I’m hiding nearby when you’re fighting two powerhouses.”
“I’m just bluffing. I’m not sure if you’re really hiding nearby,” Que said.
“It doesn’t matter!” said Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes swept over Lan Ying and Yan Wushen. “Let’s kill him together first, then fight for the Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill.”
“I didn’t expect that I would join hands with you one day,” Yan Wushen said with a smile. Lan Ying’s body released colorful lights that reflected the entire world. The Sword of Asura in his hand had already been swung out. “Kill! Kill! Kill…”
In this area, sounds of killing rose in all directions and blood light filled the air.
A battlefield of thousands of soldiers and horses appeared. There were Ghost Knights holding Bone Spears, Giants holding sharp swords, and spirits of the dead in black robes… the sword moved, and the Asura world appeared. The four of them seemed to have arrived at an ancient battlefield.
“Dimensional Sword Dance.”
Zhang Ruochen activated the Realm-frame of Truth and 36 Dimensional Swords appeared around him.
The swords flew around his body. They combined with the Precept of Truth and exploded with more and more powerful waves of power. When the waves of sword Qi increased tenfold, they flew toward Que like a rain of swords.
“Thousand Heads and Bodies.”
Yan Wushen created 999 shadows that spread out in all directions. He was actually using the Yanluo Clan’s forbidden technique, the Great Yanluo Thousand Heads and Bodies Technique.
His true body and 999 shadows formed a Pagoda of Origin.
As the 1,000 Pagodas of Origins pressed down on Que, they brought the Light of Origin with them.
“Ever since I stepped into the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting, today, I finally feel a sense of danger. If I kill all of you, I will be the only one in this era,” said Que.
The divine light in Que’s eyes shone brightly, and the aura on his body rose to its peak. His long hair shot up.
The Kagemaru in his hand drew a snake-shaped scar. It tore open the Asura World and blew away thousands of soldiers. The sword Qi was like lightning as it clashed with the Sword of Asura in Lan Ying’s hand.
The Oblivion devoured the Supreme Power on the sword.
Boom
IS.
as
A loud sound that could shatter the Supreme Saint’s eardrums rang out. Lan Ying was sent flying backward. His feet landed on the ground again and he retreated several miles before he stabilized himself.
“Fight!”
Without any hesitation, Lan Ying roared and charged forward again.
