God Emperor

Chapter 1987: Breaking into Emperor Ming City

Zhang Ruochen looked at Yan Kaixuan and the others before lifting his head at Yan Ba, saying. “Okay, I agree to that.”

“You sure are a loyal one, no wonder all these old Shengming cadres are willing to sacrifice themselves for you.” A big smile suddenly appeared on Yan Ba’s face.

As long as Zhang Ruochen took the bait, everything else was simple enough.

Seeing that face, the Head Rat got pissed off, and spat. “Yan Ba, you shameless thug. You are a top powerhouse of Yinyang Realm and well, their honor just got dragged through the mud by you!”

Hearing this, the smile of Yan Ba’s face disappeared without a trace as he growled. “Once I’m done with Zhang Ruochen, I will deal with you immediately.”

“Pffft, old coot, what are you so happy about? Even without the techniques of time and space, Lord Chen still can beat you into a pulp.” the Head Rat yelled.

At this moment, he had to do everything to support Zhang Ruochen, and at the very least he must not be weaker than Yan Ba in force of momentum.

Yan Ba found it difficult to control the anger in his heart and had an urge to lob the Head Rat’s head off.

Zhang Ruochen raised the Ancient Abyssal Blade and pointed to the sky as countless of sword Qi automatically converged into a sword domain and said with a deep voice. “Yan Ba. Let’s do this!”

“Since you want to die so badly, I will fulfill your wish.” Yan Ba looked away from the Head Rat and focused square on his foe, Zhang Ruochen.

BOOM!!

The types of extremely terrifying flames rushed out of Yan Ba’s body and spread across all directions, quickly forming onto a field of fire. The temperature inside and outside Shengming City rose rapidly, as if wanting to evaporate all of the water around it.

Among the nine types of flames, one of them was most familiar to Zhang Ruochen, the Chenyan-level Divine Purification Flames.

This moveset was exactly the same as Yan Wang’s back then.

“Take this!”

Yan Ba growled as he blasted out a giant hand consisting of nine types of flames out.

“The most famous intermediate-level Tongxuan saint technique, the Nine-Flame God Searing Palm. As expected of Yan Ba, he actually managed to cultivate the palm technique to full completion.”

Seeing Yan Ba’s move, some cultivators could not help but exclaim.

“Your Highness, run!”

Yan Kaixuan screamed as hard as his could as panick set over him.

Zhang Ruochen’s gaze was sharp as his spiritual power merged with the Ancient Abyssal Blade as the fifty percent of the precepts of heaven and earth within three thousand miles were roused by the violet godstone and converged over in a frenzy.

“Sword Ten.”

A white sword light shot out from the Ancient Abyssal Blade, like a crescent moon soaring into the sky.

Compared to the previous battle against Cang Long, the Sword Ten that Zhang Ruochen displayed now was undoubtedly even more intricate and terrifying.

The Swordsmanship of Time needed actual combat to improve, and only by using it can he derive its variations, and truly master its essence.

BAAMM!!

The nine flames that formed the giant hand burst apart and reformed into nine groups of flames.

And Zhang Ruochen’s figure also staggered a few steps back before neutralizing all of the impact of the Nine-Flame God Searing Palm strike.

Yan Ba frowned slightly, not particularly satisfied with this outcome.

The conditions he had set earlier seemed to be missing something and should have added swords techniques into the ban list.

“Again.”

Yan Ba struck again, using the same Nine-Flame God Searing Palm strike.

The difference was now, the palm strike had many changes to it as the nine flames rushed out in a frenzy from his body, forming into a sea of flames as it charged at Zhang Ruochen like a deluge.

“RAWWWRRRR!”

The nine flames condensed into flame dragons as they roared and rushed at Zhang Ruochen as if they were lifelike.

Zhang Ruochen activated his Meritorious Armor of Flowing Light and retreated quickly.

As for Mu Lingxi and the Head Rat, they had long since pulled back a long distance away to avoid getting caught up in the battle.

“Zhang Ruochen, if you retreat again, I will kill them all right this instant!” Yan Ba threatened coldly.

Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen stopped and put away the Ancient Abyssal Blade as his saint Qi surged into his palms as he blasted out a dragon shadow and an elephant shadow.

For a time, fifty percent of the precepts of heaven and earth within two thousand five hundred miles were being roused as they merged into the dragon and elephant shadows.

With the improvement of his cultivation, the radius where he could draw upon the precepts of heaven and earth while using the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Palm strike was also further expanded.

The dragon shadow and the elephant shadow became so massive that they looked like they were about to crowd out the realm. Even from far away, they still looked awe-inspiring.

“Dragon-Elephant Across the Heavens.”

BOOM!!

The sea of flames shattered, and all of the flame dragons burst into pieces.

BOOM BOOM!! The sourc???? of this content is ꜰire

Zhang Ruochen was pushed back again and again, obviously suffering the blow of a powerful impact.

“Unexpectedly, even when not using his techniques of time and space, Zhang Ruochen could fight against Yan Ba. His attainments in the path of sword and path of palm are just too high!”

Seeing Zhang Ruochen taking on two successive palm strikes from Yan Ba, many of the cultivators watching could not help but to be shocked.

Yan Ba frowned, and finally jumped down from the tower as he quickly approached Zhang Ruochen.

“Zhang Ruochen, I really had underestimated you, but everything ends now.” Yan Ba’s eyes became extremely ferocious as his murderous intent ran rampant.

BAAAMMM!!!

Nine kind of flames abruptly came drilling out of the ground, instantly forming a flaming cage and enveloped Zhang Ruochen inside it.

If one were to look closely, there were countless of flame precepts intertwined on the flaming cage, unleashing the power of god searing as it engulfed Zhang Ruochen.

Seeing this, Yan Ba could not help but to show a sinister smile. No matter how tough Zhang Ruochen was, the latter still fell in his hands.

“Your Highness, no...!!!!”

Inside Shengming City, all of the captive old Shengming cadres were roaring in fury.

“Sigh, ZHang Ruochen was still too rash.” Lady Lingyan, standing on top of the towering ancient tree, could not help but sigh.

“Yan Ba, your shameless wet noodle! Fight with Lord Chen fare and square if you dare!” The Head Rat shouted.

Mu Lingxi did not say a word as her eyes were locked onto the flaming cage. She did not believe that Zhang Ruochen would fall to Yan Ba so easily.

Just as everyone had locked their eyes onto the flaming cage, a figure appeared silently behind Yan Ba. It was Moyin.

The Zangshan Demonic Mirror was in Moyin’s hands as hundreds of thousands of supreme inscription patterns appeared and a surge of supreme power converged and transformed into a brilliant demonic light.

BOOM!!

The demonic light smashed directly against Yan Ba, piercing his body and leaving a massive gaping hole on it.

Yan Ba’s attention was totally on Zhang Ruochen, and totally did not expect Zhang Ruochen to deploy Moyin as his trump card.

After taking an unsuspecting blow from a Supreme Sacred Artifact, while Yan Ba was not dead, he had already suffered unimaginable damage.

“Zhang Ruochen, you...ughhh.”

Yan Ba wanted to say something but ended up spitting out a mouthful of blood instead.

Moyin unleashed many roots and stabbed into Yan Ba’s body, devouring the essence of his body with all her might.

BAAMM!!

The flaming cage shattered, revealing Zhang Ruochen inside.

After surviving through the blazing flames, Zhang Ruochen’s entire body was burning red like a heated iron.

If he hadn’t entered the Copper Furnace of Life and Death to refine his body and soul, Zhang Ruochen may very well be injured this time, however he was totally unscathed, not even a single hair singed.

Zhang Ruochen did not pay attention to Yan Ba as he immediately used the Dimensional Shift and appeared inside the city.

An Exquisite Dimensional Orb appeared in his hand, and as he activated it, tens of thousands of the old Shengming cadre were all sent inside the orb.

If he did not pull Yan Ba away a little, it was really difficult to rescue these old Shengming cadres.

The moment Yan Ba dared to threaten Zhang Ruochen with the lives of so many old Shengming cadres, his fate was already sealed.

“Hiss...”

Seeing Yan Ba being quickly drained dry by Moyin, all of the spectating cultivators could not help but to take a deep breath.

It was only now that they realized that Yan Ba was completely led on by Zhang Ruochen, and the so-called retreat was just entirely to lure his foe away.

Once Yan Ba was away from the city gate, Zhang Ruochen unleashed his killer move, destroying his foe and saving all of the old Shengming cadres at the same time.

“Zhang Ruochen is just too terrifying, his techniques are endless as well. Must not make an enemy out of him.”

For a time, such a thought appeared in the hearts of many cultivators.

BAAAMMM!!!

Moyin’s roots shook slightly, and Yan Ba’s shriveled corpse was ripped apart and turned into powder.

“If I can consume a few more powerful Path’s Anterior elites, my cultivation will soon be able to break through to the realm of Heaven’s Reach.” Moyin’s heart was full of joy.

For the Saint Devourer to improve her strength, she only had to constantly devour the essence of a cultivator.

Moyin was now of the Precept Dominion realm, but her strength was comparable to those of the Heaven’s Reach-realm and could even fight a bout or two with a Path’s Anterior elite.

If not, the Zangshan Demonic Mirror she had activated earlier could not have so severely wounded Yan Ba in just one hit.

“Your Highness, please save the prince. He Highness is in danger!” Inside the Exquisite Dimensional Orb, Yan Kaixuan said anxiously.

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Ruochen released Yan Kaixuan, and at the same time, sprayed about ten drops of the springwater of life over. Each drop was dazzling, like a shining star.

The springwater of life fell on Yan Kaixuan’s body and instantly seeped into his flesh and penetrated into his blood stream.

Soon, Yan Kaixuan had mostly recovered from his injuries, and continued. “Your Highness, earlier on, His Highness the Prince had fought out throgh the southeast but there were elites from the Heavenly Realm faction pursuing him. You need to hurry and rescue him. Otherwise... if you are late, then His Highness may perish.”

He had followed Prince Mingjiang for hundreds of years, so naturally he did not want to see any ill-fortune befell Prince Mingjiang.

Earlier on, he was worried that Zhang Ruochen was no match for the Heavenly Realm faction elites, so that was why he wanted Zhang Ruochen to leave earlier.

But now, Zhang Ruochen had slain two Heavenly Realm faction elites in a row. His strength was like a god descending upon the mortal realms, all mighty and invincible; inspiring great confidence in him and the Shengming cultivators present and made their hearts extremely excited.
