Chapter 2421 - The Dark Elemental
Chapter 2421: The Dark Elemental
Zhang Ruochen’s Profound Spatial Dimension was only 30 meters in diameter after being eroded by the Power of Oblivion. Therefore, after killing Yan Wushen, he didn’t dare to stay any longer and was prepared to leave.
At that moment, he suddenly sensed something and stared at the spot where Yan Wushen’s body had disappeared with a surprised look.
With the Eye of Truth, Zhang Ruochen finally saw it clearly. Although Yan Wushen’s two halves had become fine particles and merged with the darkness in the void, they had not become one with oblivion.
Those fine particles moved through the air like wisps of black Qi.
The oblivion could not erode them in a short period.
“What a pure Qi of darkness. It is purer and of higher quality than the power cultivated by Wujiang, who is the Master of Darkness.” Zhang Ruochen felt incredulous.
He had fought with Yan Wushen many times and knew his power like the back of his hand. Yan Wushen had cultivated the Path of Darkness and his attainments were not low, but he was far from reaching the same level as Wujiang.
Then, where did this Qi of darkness come from?
The Power of Darkness grew stronger. The intensity of the waves quickly surpassed the Hundred-Shackle Realm, Thousand-Koan Realm, and even the Banshi Isshou Realm... It appeared that it would never peak.
The power shook Zhang Ruochen back.
Even the divine shadows hanging in the void showed an expression of disbelief.
Crash
Strands of Qi of darkness gradually solidified and twisted like a twist. Finally, they condensed into Yan Wushen’s figure.
Yan Wushen’s long hair was standing on end, and his eyes were ferocious and intimidating. His powerful aura was comparable to a few cultivators beneath the divinity. Yan Wushen would tremble as if he were an evil god if he stood in front of Yan Huangtu and Wujiang.
Zhang Ruochen was pushed back 800 miles by Yan Wushen’s imposing manner. He felt that Yan Wushen had become completely different from before. It was as if he had entered an evil state. He was very similar to the evil Wushen from before.
There were some differences.
He was eviler than the evil Wushen.
Zhang Ruochen summoned the?Secret Tome of Time and Space, the Zangshan Demonic Mirror, and the Pleiades Lotus. He stared at Yan Wushen as if he was facing a great enemy. He asked, “The aura of the third Dark Star? Did you absorb its Power of Darkness?”
Yan Wushen looked like an evil god. His eyes were red. He said, “Power of Darkness? No, I devoured the entire third Dark Star.”
“Devoured...”
Zhang Ruochen muttered something to himself. His expression was solemn.
The third Dark Star was thousands of miles in diameter. It was 100,000 times denser than ordinary iron. Picking up a rock casually would weigh more than a million pounds. How could a Supreme Saint devour it?
It was more like a Macroworld, condensed from hundreds of thousands of planets.
Even the divine beasts roaming the universe could not swallow it.
In a corner of the void, the Swastika Seiryu’s body was coiled and covered with green clouds, he smiled proudly and said, “Zhang Ruochen is very powerful. Unfortunately, he should not have been born in the same era as Yan Wushen. He is destined to be Yan Wushen’s stepping stone to the top of the universe. Tiger, after Zhang Ruochen dies, why don’t you let him be your guide too?”
The Intergold Tiger stood above a golden light the size of a lake and said, “Isn’t it too early to say this?”
The Swastika Seiryu shook its head, it said, “The third Dark Star, although in the Dark Star, it can only be considered to be of medium and inferior size, with a diameter of thousands of miles. However, it is extremely ancient. The Darkness Power within it gave birth to intelligence as well as a Dark Elemental.
“The Dark Elemental devoured the Stone Clan Supreme Saint, Immortal Blue Marrow, who entered the third Dark Star to cultivate. It took away a sliver of the Blue Marrow Supreme Saint’s consciousness and was able to cultivate it. It then reached a cultivation level comparable to a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint.”
“When Yan Wushen was cultivating in the third Black Star, he was chased by the Dark Elemental for decades. He was almost devoured and possessed by the Dark Elemental.
“Unfortunately, the suppression of the Dark Elemental allowed Yan Wushen to fuse the Grade Five Saintwill and almost complete The Six Paths of Reincarnation. It suppressed the Dark Elemental into The Six Paths of Reincarnation and imprisoned it with a Half-Buddha Physique.
“Then, after decades of refining and purification, the Dark Elemental was almost completely absorbed by Yan Wushen and became a part of his body and Saint Soul.
“When he fused the Grade Five Saintwill, he attracted the phenomenon of the universe. Yan Wushen was in harmony with the precepts of heaven and earth, and his lifespan was greatly increased. It created a miracle that no one had ever done before or since. The third Dark Star has already been fused into Yan Wushen’s sea of Qi. His body and the third Dark Star have become one. They are no different.
“If he uses the power of the third Dark Star and the Dark Elemental, Yan Wushen can even challenge a Supreme Saint. How can Zhang Ruochen defeat him?”
The Intergold Tiger was still calm. He smiled and said, “With his cultivation of the Hundred-Shackle Realm, if he uses the power of a Supreme Saint, even if Yan Wushen kills Zhang Ruochen, he will die.”
“I don’t think so! Yan Wushen has a Half-Buddha Physique and strong spiritual power. He can withstand the power of a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint,” the Swastika Seiryu said.
The Intergold Tiger said, “If his realm is not high enough, he will be like an ignorant child who controls a world-destroying weapon. Even if he can kill the enemy, he will hurt himself. In the end, we will all die together.”
This time, the Swastika Seiryu did not argue with the Intergold Tiger. He said, “This is a life and death battle between the two of them. Yan Wushen has reached the point where he has to use the power of the Dark Star.”
More and more gods received the news.
Some of them were very interested in Yan Wushen and Zhang Ruochen, so they sent down their own projection of the divine shadow to watch the battle.
Blood Empress’ divine true body appeared not far away from Wargod Bloodximius. There was a worried look in her eyes.
As long as it was a divine spirit, how could it not see that Yan Wushen had absorbed the Dark Elemental and carried a Dark Star in his body?
‘There is no suspense in this battle. As long as the god of Xue Jue Family doesn’t interfere, Zhang Ruochen will die without a doubt.’ Ghost Master thought as he looked at the solemn Wargod Bloodximius and smiled happily.
Zhang Ruochen’s death would be a heavy blow to the Xue Jue Family.
Wargod Bloodximius was congratulated on all sides after winning the Battle of Celestial-Hunting. The Xue Jue Family had three generations of geniuses, as everyone could see. It was a sign of great wealth. They would most likely dominate the Immortal Vampires and shock the entire Infernal Court after a few Yuanhui periods.
Not to mention the Bloodysky Clan and the Immortal Vampires, even the other forces sent gifts to express their goodwill.
As one of the biggest losers in the Battle of Celestial-Hunting, Ghost Master was naturally jealous.
Now, only half a month had passed, and Zhang Ruochen, the brilliant son of the Xue Jue Family, was about to die. How could the Ghost Master not be happy?
Asurendra Barasingha nodded and let out a sigh of relief. He said, “The Fane of Barasingha has already formed a grudge with the Xue Jue Family. Fortunately, Zhang Ruochen is going to die at the hands of Yan Wushen. Otherwise, the Fane of Barasingha will have a hard time in the coming days.”
Zhang Ruochen could fully unleash the power of the Demigod-level physique once he reached the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm and broke all the shackles in his body. There were only a few of them left from the Fane of Barasingha who could suppress Zhang Ruochen in circumstances where gods could not interfere with the secular world.
When Zhang Ruochen reached the Thousand-Koan Realm and the Banshi Isshou Realm, he could control the power of the Demigod-level physique more perfectly. With the power of the cultivation realm, he would be even more invincible under divinity.
Zhang Ruochen would undoubtedly sweep through the Infernal Court if the gods did not intervene.
Wargod Bloodximius, Luo Yan, and Fukurokuju would all come looking for them if the gods intervened. Nobody could stand it.
Asurendra Barasingha attached great importance to the cultivation of the younger generation, so he was very worried about that day. When Zhang Ruochen was in the Saint King Realm, he had almost killed a generation of people in the Heavenly Realm.
Asurendra Barasingha sent a message to Ghost Master. “Zhang Ruochen is about to die. The gods of the Xue Jue family might intervene.”
Ghost Master smiled cruelly and said, “With you and I here, how can we give them the chance to intervene? Since it’s a life-and-death battle, there will naturally be death.”
Lord Yuan Tian of the Deathkins descended into the void. Beside him were three Supreme Saints. They were all his children. They were Supreme Saint Yuan Fei, Supreme Saint Yuan Li, and Yuan Shu.
Supreme Saint Yuan Fei was his sixth son.
Supreme Saint Yuan Li was his fifth son.
Yuan Mo, who had died at Zhang Ruochen’s hands, was his seventh son.
Yuan Fei, Yuan Mo, and Yuan Li were all prodigies of their generation. They were famous at the same time and had the potential to become gods. They were heavily nurtured by Lord Yuan Tian and were regarded as his pride.
However, Lord Yuan Tian placed the most importance on his fourth child, Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu was no older than 2,000 years old. She was not much older than Supreme Saint Yuan Fei. She was the first child that Lord Yuan Tian gave birth to after he transcended the Yuanhui Tribulation. The Saintwill that she cultivated had reached the peak of Grade Three Saintwill, her cultivation had broken through to the Paramount Realm.
If everything went well, Yuan Shu would undoubtedly become a god before the age of 10,000.
That is why Yuan Shu was bestowed the title of True Lord. She was the ruler of the starry skies and in charge of everything under Lord Yuan Tian’s rule.
Although Yuan Shu was a member of the Deathkin, she did not exude an aura of death. On the contrary, she was bright and beautiful. Her skin was snow-white and her body shone with holy light. She had the aura of an empress who ruled over the world.
Supreme Saint Yuan Li and Supreme Saint Yuan Fei stood in front of Lord Yuan Tian in awe. They did not stand straight.
However, Yuan Shu was determined. She did not show any signs of weakness in her state of mind. Her gaze was vast and sharp.
Lord Yuan Tian let out a long sigh, “She can even devour and fuse with a Paramount Realm Dark Elemental. Not to mention this Yuanhui period, even in the past few Yuanhui periods, there has never been such a prodigy. Within a thousand years, Yan Wushen will definitely become a god. Yuan Shu, are you willing to marry him?”
Supreme Saint Yuan Li and Supreme Saint Yuan Fei were shocked. Their father valued Yuan Shu so much that he saw her as his successor. However, to win Yan Wushen over, he was willing to marry her.
Supreme Saint Yuan Fei bowed, he said, “Father, Yuan Shu has the potential to become a god. Furthermore, she might even become a god before Yan Wushen. Why should she marry a man she doesn’t like? Furthermore, Pan Ruo was bestowed by Fukurokuju and she would be Yan Wushen’s first wife. If Yuan Shu were to marry him, her position would definitely be awkward.”
Supreme Saint Yuan Li said, “Yuan Shu’s attainment has reached the Paramount Realm and the first-class existence below divinity. Yan Wushen is only in the Hundred-Shackle Realm. When Yan Wushen becomes a god, it will not be too late to consider this matter.”
Lord Yuan Tian snorted. “You are too short-sighted. You don’t understand the Divine Plane at all. Many forces can plan ahead 100,000 or even a million years to do something. It’s too late to plan on Yan Wushen now. I feel like it’s already too late! Fukurokuju is still the best. After the Battle of Celestial-Hunting ended, he arranged marriages for both Yan Wushen and Zhang Ruochen to someone.
“When Yan Wushen becomes a god, Yuan Shu won’t want to marry him anymore. I’m afraid he won’t even look at her!”
Supreme Saint Yuan Fei didn’t expect his father to take Yan Wushen so seriously. No wonder so many gods had come to watch the battle of life and death between Yan Wushen and Zhang Ruochen.
Let alone Supreme Saint Yuan Fei, even the likes of Wujiang and Yan Huangtu were far from this important.
Was it because he had condensed the Grade Two Saintwill?
Suddenly, Lord Yuan Tian spoke with a profound meaning, he said, “Yan Wushen is likely to be the first to condense the Grade One Saintwill. After becoming a god, no one knows how terrifying he will be. I’m afraid that even the Reverends and the divine kings will be trampled under his feet. He should be like Yan Wushen when he gives birth!”
A bright light appeared in Yuan Shu’s eyes. “Yan Wushen is indeed unparalleled. His luck is heaven-defying and rarely seen. Marrying him isn’t a grievance. However, it won’t be easy for him to defeat Zhang Ruochen.”
Lord Yuan Tian was surprised. “Shu’er actually thinks that Zhang Ruochen can resist the power of a Dark Star?”
Yuan Shu stared at the two people in the distant void, “If it were any other Hundred-Shackle Realm Supreme Saint, they would have run away from the power of Yan Wushen. But Zhang Ruochen didn’t. Instead, his fighting spirit became stronger!”
“Is he scared?” Said Supreme Saint Yuan Li.
Yuan Shu said, “If you think so, you must be a fool. I think Zhang Ruochen still has a trump card he hasn’t used yet. He should still have the strength to fight. I’m really looking forward to who will be the king of this Yuanhui period.”
...
Yan Wushen’s physical body was reassembled. His imposing manner was magnificent and unparalleled. He slapped out the constantly invading Power of Oblivion. The Power of Darkness that erupted from his body covered tens of thousands of miles.
“Six paths of reincarnation. Life and death can not be destroyed.”
Yan Wushen raised his hands slightly. The Power of Darkness condensed into a palm above his head and slapped Zhang Ruochen.
This palm contained the power of the Dark Star. It had the true meaning of The Six Paths of Reincarnation. Although it wasn’t as powerful as a Supreme Saint’s attack, it was still terrifying. It was far stronger than Yan Wushen’s own power.
Standing in the darkness, Zhang Ruochen felt heaven and earth pressing down on him. There were walls in all directions. The power from each side was ten times stronger than Yan Wushen’s.
“The five elements of yin and yang and the rotation of heaven and earth, they are endless.”
Zhang Ruochen threw out all kinds of weapons, and all kinds of power surged out. He also activated the Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill, forming a tai chi mark and floating above his head.
Boom
One Supreme Artifact after another flew out. The Profound Spatial Dimension, the Realm-frame of Truth, and the Null Time realm were all pierced through.
The Hand of Darkness and the Taiji Mark collided.
Zhang Ruochen let out a long howl. He controlled the Saintwill and tried his best to absorb the Power of Darkness from his hand. However, the hand was like a dark ocean. It couldn’t absorb all of it.
As if it was breaking through a layer of paper, the Hand of Darkness broke through the Taiji Mark and slapped Zhang Ruochen.
“It’s over!”
The Ghost Master smiled, feeling extremely happy.
Asurendra Barasingha said, “The Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill that Zhang Ruochen has cultivated is no weaker than Yan Wushen’s Six Paths of Reincarnation Saintwill. However, Yan Wushen can control the power of the Dark Star and has fused with the Paramount Realm Supreme Saint’s Dark Elemental. His power is too strong for Zhang Ruochen to resist... what? He actually blocked it!”
All the gods who had descended were shocked.
Zhang Ruochen’s entire body was burning with flames. His arms supported the Hand of Darkness. Then, a light pillar shot out from his glabella. It shattered the Hand of Darkness into pieces and disappeared.
“A Dark Star is nothing. My grandson has a Macroworld in his body. If he doesn’t use the power of the world and the Supreme Saint doesn’t come out, who can fight him?”.
Just now, he had broken the seal of the Qiankun Realm and allowed Zhang Ruochen to enter his strongest state. He was no longer suppressed and could fully use all the power he had.
Zhang Ruochen had never used the power of the Qiankun Realm, whether it was on the Battlefield of Merits or the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting.
Actually, the Qiankun Realm was a part of Zhang Ruochen. It didn’t belong to external forces.
