Chapter 2514: Eight Techniques of Genesis
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Fei Zhong was struck dumb by Zhang Ruochen and slid down from the pillar. His eyes were blank and shocked.
How could Zhang Ruochen, who was in Hundred-Shackle Realm, be so assertive?
No.
!!
Even if he was a Yuanhui-level genius, he couldn’t be able to quickly send a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint flying. What was that tiger shadow behind Zhang Ruochen?
Although it was just a shadow, it made his Saint Soul palpitate.
Gong Nanfeng’s heart trembled with excitement when he looked at Zhang Ruochen’s flying. “Brother Ruochen finally took action! We’re saved, we’re saved!”
…
Inside Echoes of Heaven Formation.
The remaining four Supreme Saints looked at each other, their eyes filled with anger and helplessness.
“Your Highness, you should enter the inner space of Ominous Blade and hide for now. Leave the rest to us!” Cang Sheng — one of the four Paramount Realm Supreme Saints — said coldly.
How could Xing Luo not know about their desire to die together? He smiled bitterly and said, “It’s useless! Ji Fanxin’s spiritual power is strong. You cannot self-detonate your Sainthood Source right under her nose like Lord Wu Yue,
“Only I, with the power of Divine Ghost Mask, can block her spiritual power. Only then will you have a chance to escape. So, it could only be me who’ll die together with her.
“You all need to hide in the inner space of Ominous Blade. I will fight with her one last time.”
The Supreme Saint with four eyes shook his head, “No. No matter what, Scion should not be the one who self-destructs. If you die, Fane of Destiny will no longer have control over this era.”
Xing Luo said, “I am no longer the Scion. If I die, it’ll hardly affect Fane of Destiny. Everyone, don’t worry. Fane of Destiny has a deep foundation and won’t easily collapse. When the new Scioness and Que matured, it nighs impossible for others to stir up trouble.”
If there was another choice, how could Xing Luo be willing to die with the enemy?
However, if he doesn’t, all of them would be exhausted to death by the formation.
The four Supreme Saints felt sorrowful and powerless.
Once upon a time, they would receive the highest treatment wherever they went. They could kill all Celestial Court’s Supreme Saints when they’re in the Battlefield of Merits.
But now, they could not even self-detonate their Sainthood Source.
“Is there no other way?”
The four-eyed Supreme Saint gritted his teeth and glared at Ji Fanxin in the sea of flowers.
Xing Luo said, “If I wasn’t trapped in Echoes of Heaven Formation, I would have some confidence in escaping this place.”
“In other words, as long as we break the formation, our chances of escaping will increase greatly?” Cang Sheng took out an Inscription-Suppressing Stone and said, “This Inscription-Suppressing Stone was created by an Archsaint Array Master from Fane of Destiny. It might be able to break the formation.”
Xing Luo shook his head and said, “Once we are trapped in the formation, even the Archsaint Array Master would be helpless, let alone a mere Inscription-Suppressing Stone. Unless a top-notch expert exists outside the formation, we will only have a chance to break Ji Fanxin’s formation.”
The four Supreme Saints looked dejected. They all knew that one should be at least the same level as Xing Luo, who was a top-notch elite, to be able to save them.
There were very few people like Xing Luo in Infernal Court.
Where could they find one like him easily?
“Look, an Immortal Vampire is flying over.” The four-eyed Paramount Realm Supreme Saint exclaimed.
Xing Luo was already prepared to self-detonate his Sainthood Source. He was a little surprised when he heard this. He thought that maybe the previous battle caught the Immortal Vampire who passed by’s attention?
However, there didn’t seem to be any Paramount Realm Yuanhui level figures below divinity in Immortal Vampire.
An ordinary Paramount Realm Supreme Saint would only be courting death.
Xing Luo looked over. His expression changed, and he asked in surprise, “How can it be him?”
A dense blood cloud flew over from the dark void space.
Zhang Ruochen had 12 wings on his back. Standing in the blood cloud, his aura was unparalleled. He had the divine aura of a Demigod-level physique and the power of Intergold Tiger. It was as if a TrueGod had descended.
Bai Qing’er glanced over and said, “Seems like you finally turning against me?”
“You’ve won. Why can’t you let them go?” Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were filled with Precepts of Truth and Intergold Precept Marks. He looked at Bai Qing’er without fear.
Bai Qing’er said, “No one can stop the people I want to kill!”
“I stopped you from killing Yan Huangtu and Yan Zhexian, and I can do it again.”
The Ugyen Cudgel flew out of Zhang Ruochen’s hand. Driven by Divine Qi, the cudgel expanded and became thicker than a mountain peak. Golden light spread in all directions and turned into a golden sea.
In the Golden Sea, Battle Qi rolled like clouds.
The Ugyen Cudgel was activated to the extreme. It burst with unparalleled supreme power, shattered the sea of flowers in Bai Qing’er’s void space, and hacked down at her.
Bai Qing’er’s eyes were cold and sharp. “Is this the power that Intergold Tiger lent you? It’s powerful, but it’s a pity you can’t understand its mysteries. You only have brute force.”
Bai Qing’er didn’t choose to fight head-on with the Ugyen Cudgel. Instead, she took a step to the left.
She crossed a hundred miles with just one step and easily avoided Zhang Ruochen’s earth-shaking attack.
The Ugyen Cudgel swept over and struck out again.
Countless Supreme Inscriptions on the cudgel were like the veins of heaven and earth. They wanted to freeze Bai Qing’er in space and force her to take Zhang Ruochen’s attack head-on.
“Your attack is too lightweight. No matter how strong the weapon is, it can’t hurt me.”
Bai Qing’er turned into a wisp of green smoke and circled around the Ugyen Cudgel. She dodged again.
When she fought with Zhang Ruochen, her spiritual power was still in control of Echoes of Heaven Formation. She was able to easily suppress the five elites of Fane of Destiny, including Xing Luo.
Zhang Ruochen struck out dozens of times in a row. The power was so strong that almost no one under divinity dared to take it head-on. However, Bai Qing’er avoided each strike like a stone sinking into the sea.
The battle ripples here had spread out long ago, and other cultivators must have noticed it.
If Bai Qing’er did not want to be besieged by other cultivators, she needed to end the battle as soon as possible to escape. Zhang Ruochen’s attack had caused her a lot of trouble.
“You’ve been attacking for so long. Are you tired? Take this!
“Palm of Yin-yang Five Elements!”
Bai Qing’er struck out with her palm. A Taiji Diagram, which looked very much like Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill, appeared. It combined with the palm power and burst out an overwhelming force.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t know how Bai Qing’er could simulate Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill, but he knew this so-called Saintwill was just a mere manifestation.
Of course, when Bai Qing’er attacked, even if it only had a physical form, it was no small matter.
Back then, Bai Qing’er hadn’t been so serious. She could crush the demigod-level Blackwraith from thousands of miles away with a simple grab.
This attack was much stronger than the one that crushed Blackwraith.
“This palm is specially made for you,” Bai Qing’er said.
“Zangshan Demonic Mirror.”
An ancient mirror burst out a thousand miles of Demonic Qi.
Majestic mountains emerged from the Demonic Qi to resist Bai Qing’er’s palm print.
Rumble
The demonic mountains were shattered one by one. Finally, the palm print collided with the surface of Zangshan Demonic Mirror. The surface of the mirror was like a water curtain. It sank down and swallowed the palm print.
Bai Qing’er gasped. Suddenly, her eyes darkened.
She found that Zhang Ruochen had disappeared where the Zangshan Demonic Mirror was at.
“Oh no!”
Bai Qing’er turned around and saw Zhang Ruochen walking out of the space. He appeared in the sky above Echoes of Heaven Formation.
He held the Ugyen Cudgel in his hands. Dense Intergold Precept Marks appeared on his arms. The phantom of a white tiger as tall as 1,000 miles appeared on the surface of his body, bursting with the power that could shallow a river.
The Ugyen Cudgel struck out, causing one corner of Echoes of Heaven Formation to collapse.
A bronze chime was sent flying. The rich sound reverberated throughout the world.
Xing Luo used the sea of stars to surround the four Fane of Destiny’s Supreme Saint. He took this opportunity to escape from the gap in the formation. He burst out faster than 10,000 times the speed of sound and ran into the sky.
“Thank you for saving my life. I will repay you generously in the future.” Xing Luo’s voice transmission rang in Zhang Ruochen’s mind.
Bai Qing’er’s true form walked out of the broken space and merged with the fake body in the sea of flowers. Her eyes were unprecedentedly cold. She walked toward Zhang Ruochen with one hundred miles in one step, “Zhang Ruochen, you dare to ruin my plan? I won’t let you get away with this!”
Bai Qing’er didn’t use the bronze chime. Instead, she pointed.
They were hundreds of miles apart, but after her finger pointed, she appeared directly in front of Zhang Ruochen. She seemed to have penetrated space in an instant. However, Zhang Ruochen didn’t feel any space fluctuation at all.
In a moment of desperation, Zhang Ruochen pressed out with his palm.
The tiger shadow behind him raised its massive claws. Like the track marks that Zhang Ruochen had made with his palm, it also pressed forward.
The palm hit Bai Qing’er’s fingertip.
Zhang Ruochen had a Regal Artifact level glove and countless Intergold Precept Marks.
His palm turned golden under the glove.
Crack!
There was a cracking sound.
The Regal Artifact glove could not withstand Bai Qing’er’s power, and three cracks appeared. Then, with a bang, it broke into pieces of scrap metal.
Some pieces cut Zhang Ruochen’s face, leaving a bloody mark.
Zhang Ruochen quickly retreated. His palm was in so much pain that it was about to crack. He quickly put it behind his back. Blood flowed out of the cracks between his fingers.
Even the Divine Marks could not withstand Bai Qing’er’s attack.
Zhang Ruochen looked closely and saw that Bai Qing’er was already more than 100 feet away from him. Light of Origin from her skin overshadowed his divine aura.
She was furious. She wasn’t angry that Zhang Ruochen had let Xing Luo and the others go.
She was angry because she had decided to kill her way to Fane of Origin. She wanted to temper herself and accumulate her power through killing on the way there.
Once she reached Fane of Origin, her power would be at its peak.
She could break through the realm with this power and become a god.
However, Zhang Ruochen blocked her and muddled her power, making her state of mind extremely at the edge.
“Die!”
“Ten days of Heaven Seal.”
Bai Qing’er’s long hair flew up. Her five fingers formed a magical seal and struck out.
The space around her five fingers caved in, forming layers of space shock waves.
In the center of the space shock waves, ten bright spots appeared. They were like ten hot suns spinning rapidly, releasing terrifying heat that burned the sky and boiled the sea.
“Roar!”
A tiger’s roar was heard.
“Zhang Ruochen, today I will teach you a prehistoric higher knowledge, Eight Techniques of Genesis.
“The first technique of Eight Techniques of Genesis, Taiqing Cloud-Pushing Palm.”
When Intergold Tiger’s voice sounded, Zhang Ruochen only felt that 670 million Intergold Precept Marks in his Sea of Qi automatically flowed out and circulated in his body in a magical trajectory.
Along with the Intergold Precept Marks, there was Divine Qi that Intergold Tiger kept infusing into Zhang Ruochen’s body.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen’s body was slightly out of control. His hands and feet automatically evolved into a strange posture. He pushed out his hands and struck Bai Qing’er’s fingerprint.
BOOM
Bai Qing’er’s body trembled, and she flew backward. Her eyes showed surprise.
She knew that the source of the power came from Intergold Tiger. However, Zhang Ruochen was still the only cultivator who could beat her back since she entered Paramount Realm.
Zhang Ruochen spat out blood and was thrown dozens of miles away. Three bloody holes appeared on his body.
Each bloody hole was the size of a fist,
Intergold Tiger sighed. “I have no choice. You still can’t beat her. Your demigod body is too inferior to her Paramount physique! Moreover, only 670 million Intergold Precept Marks are in your body.”
“It doesn’t matter. I’ve achieved my goal.”
Zhang Ruochen pretended to be seriously injured. He used the hidden force to hurt himself again. He spat out several mouthfuls of blood and finally stood up with his last breath. He smiled at Bai Qing’er. “You can’t kill me.”
…
After running for tens of millions of miles and reaching another starry sky, Xing Luo finally couldn’t hold on any longer and fell on a hundred-mile-long cosmic rock.
“Your Highness.”
Cang Sheng quickly squatted down and tried to help him up.
“No, I’m fine.”
Xing Luo gritted his teeth and slowly sat up. He took a Healing Sacred Pill to control the serious injuries in his body.
The four-eyed Supreme Saint said with lingering fear, “I didn’t expect Zhang Ruochen to save us in the end. I owe him a huge favor this time.”
“Originally, I was hostile to him when he cultivated a Grade Two Saintwill and caused a bad omen. The phenomena of Destiny’s Creek flow backward, flooding the fane. Now it seems that this is most likely a coincidence. Fukurokuju didn’t misjudge him,” said a Supreme Saint from Adjudication Division.
Cang Sheng looked suspicious, “Have you thought about something? Zhang Ruochen and Intergold Tiger attack, but why didn’t they join hands with us to deal with the witch in the beginning? We might not have lost if they had joined hands at the beginning. Maybe Lord Wu Yue, Zionwraith, and the others won’t have to die!”
“What do you mean? Do you suspect that Zhang Ruochen did this to weaken the power of Fane of Destiny? If that’s the case, why did he save us?” The four-eyed Supreme Saint snarled.
Cang Sheng said, “I’ve checked Zhang Ruochen’s information. He has a close relationship with Ji Fanxin.”
“It’s not certain if that woman is Ji Fanxin!” The four-eyed Supreme Saint said.
“Stop arguing! It’s an indisputable fact that Zhang Ruochen saved us. Besides, I can roughly guess why he didn’t do anything in the first place,” Xing Luo said.
Cang Sheng asked, “Why?”
Xing Luo said, “First, you must understand one thing. Zhang Ruochen and that woman must be enemies. Even if she really is Ji Fanxin, do you think she will still regard Zhang Ruochen as her best friend based on what he did in Infernal Court?”
“I’m afraid she hated Zhang Ruochen to the bones,” the four-eyed Supreme Saint said.
Xing Luo nodded and said, “That’s right! So, Zhang Ruochen and Gong Nanfeng are her hostages in Infernal Court. Once she provokes a god, she can protect herself.”
“Why didn’t Zhang Ruochen attack in the beginning?”
“There are only a few reasons. First, Zhang Ruochen was hit by Arrow of Deva Path. His injuries are severe. He wanted to attack, but he couldn’t.
“Second, he knows how powerful Ji Fanxin is. Even if he attacks with us, he knows that he has no chance of winning.
“Even if Intergold Tiger attacks, we have no chance of winning?” Cang Sheng was shocked.
Xing Luo sighed. “Although I don’t want to admit it, it’s indisputable. Intergold Tiger is a god, but he’s a prehistoric god. He’s suppressed by heavenly and earthly precepts. He can’t attack. If it used too much power, it would be punished by Heaven.
“Didn’t you see that it passed its power to Zhang Ruochen before? Zhang Ruochen could only fight against Ji Fanxin if he attacked.
“If Zhang Ruochen didn’t attack, Ji Fanxin might not kill him yet. If he attacked, how could Ji Fanxin let him go? Zhang Ruochen understood this, but he still attacked decisively to save us. At this moment, he is probably facing a life-and-death crisis.”
The four Supreme Saints were silent.
Cang Sheng was moved and looked guilty.
Xing Luo continued, “Actually, there is a third reason. Zhang Ruochen doesn’t have any ties with us. Why should he fight with us? He doesn’t trust us at all. You should know that Adjudication Division was calling out to kill him not long ago. It was good enough that he didn’t hold a grudge against us!”
“Then why did he make a move later?” Cang Sheng asked.
Xing Luo said, “I think there are only two reasons. First, Zhang Ruochen wants to show us that he didn’t betray Infernal Court. He hopes that he can get our support when he’s misunderstood in the future.
“Second, only when we escape can we join forces with other forces and make more detailed arrangements to deal with Ji Fanxin. Otherwise, no one will ever know Ji Fanxin’s true strength. No matter how many the number of cultivators who rush forwards.”
Cang Sheng nodded and said, “I’ve thought about it carefully. Ji Fanxin won’t dare to kill Zhang Ruochen easily. Zhang Ruochen might have deliberately stayed by her side. Only this way can we restrain her better.”
“Yes, I think so too. Zhang Ruochen alone is worth thousands of soldiers and horses. He can endure humiliation. If there’s a chance in the future, we can be friendly to him.”
Xing Luo added, “Now we have three things to do. We must do it immediately.
“Cang Sheng, you investigate Ji Fanxin, Fairy of a Hundred Flowers. Find out if she is in Qianrui Realm or Celestial Court? If she’s not here, this Ji Fanxin will likely be confirmed.
“Lord Four-eyed, you go find out what Ji Fanxin’s real purpose is? Why did she go on a killing spree in Infernal Court?
“Yaoyun Jisi, head to Oort Cloud Asteroid Belt as fast as possible. Inform the factions on good terms with Fane of Destiny in advance and tell them not to act rashly. The enemy is often stronger than they imagined, perhaps even tens of times stronger.”
…
After making all sorts of arrangements, Xing Luo sent out two more Communication talismans to contact Yan Yu and Yuan Qianmo.
