God Emperor

Chapter 2453: A Streak of Sword Qi

In the Dominion of the Bloodysky Clan.

On a blood lake not far from the Xue Jue Family’s home, the power fluctuation was chaotic. Thunder and lightning shuttled between the sky and the water like pythons. The flames turned into divine dragons that burned the heaven and earth like bronze furnaces, and the strong gales were as sharp as knives, the cuts made the surface of the lake emit a series of deep explosive sounds.

Zhang Ruochen looked relaxed. He stood by the lake and stared at the Ancient Abyssal Sword hovering above the lake.

He was transcending the third King’s Calamity.

The four calamities of wind, fire, water and thunder lasted for a whole day. When the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, the 800-mile blood lake had dried up, leaving only black scorched earth at the bottom of the lake.

CLANG!

The body of the Ancient Abyssal Sword still had thunder, fire dragon, water current, and the strong wind blowing on it, making an ear-piercing sword chime.

......

The sound of the sword echoed for thousands of miles.

Zhang Ruochen reached out his hand and grabbed at nothing. The Ancient Abyssal Sword turned into a shooting star and flew into his hand.

The four marks of calamity on the sword became deeper.

There were very few Regal Artifacts that could absorb the power of the calamity and condense the marks of calamity. These four marks represented the extraordinariness of the Ancient Abyssal Sword. The Godstone embedded in the hilt of the sword emitted pure divine power. It also absorbed the heaven and earth Saint Qi and the precepts of heaven and earth all the time.

Although the Ancient Abyssal Blade was a Class Three Regal Artifact, in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes, it was more powerful than any Class Four Regal Artifact.

SWOOSH!

Zhang Ruochen waved his sword casually.

A streak of purple-black sword Qi flew out in front of him and tore apart the 800-mile-long dry lake, leaving a 30-meter-wide and 1,000-mile-long sword Qi valley.

The patrolling guards of the Xue Jue family saw Zhang Ruochen easily splitting the 1,000-mile-wide valley with a sword. They all straightened their backs and looked at him with respect and admiration, he was indeed a Yuanhui level hero who had led the Immortal Vampires to win the first place in the Battle of Celestial-Hunting.

“If only I could become the trusted guard of Scion Ruochen. I will definitely rise to great heights in the future.”

“In terms of kinship, I am the cousin of Scion Ruochen.”

“Come on, you are just a distant relative! Are you from the line of Wargod Bloodximius?”

…

Almost all the cultivators of the younger generation of the Xue Jue Family had recognized Zhang Ruochen’s identity. He seemed to be the pride of the new generation of the Xue Jue Family. There were countless admirers.

Whoosh

Not far from Zhang Ruochen, strands of blood qi gathered and condensed into the figure of Supreme Saint Qingsheng.

Zhang Ruochen sensed something and put away the Ancient Abyssal Sword. He turned around and smiled. “Uncle has come to see me at this time. It seems that you brought good news.”

“There’s good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?” Supreme Saint Qingsheng asked.

Zhang Ruochen said, “I wanna hear the good news first!”

“The rewards from the Fane of Immortality have come. Three Quasi-Emperor Grade Sacred Pills and one Divine Blood Armor. In addition, three other deities want to take you as a disciple. The Bloodregius Legion has also sent an invitation to you,” Supreme Saint Qingsheng said enviously.

Zhang Ruochen thought for a moment and shook his head. “I’m not interested in becoming a disciple for the time being. As for the Bloodregius Legion, it’s interesting, but I’m afraid I can’t go now!”

The Bloodregius Legion was the most powerful army under the Fane of Immortality. It was made up of the elites of the Immortal Vampires.

If he went there, he would definitely meet many powerful Supreme Saints. It would help him hone his battle techniques.

“I’m still interested in the pills and armor the Fane of Immortality rewards,” said Zhang Ruochen.

“I’ll wait for you in the meeting hall,” said Supreme Saint Qingsheng.

Supreme Saint Qingsheng’s clone dispersed.

Zhang Ruochen used the Great Dimensional Shift to leave the dry lake.

The Array Master of the Xue Jue family rushed over immediately to restore the ecological environment around the dry lake.

A moment later, Zhang Ruochen returned to the Xue Jue family. In the meeting hall, he saw Supreme Saint Qingsheng. He received three Quasi-Emperor Grade Sacred Pills and a Divine Blood Armor.

The three Quasi-Emperor Grade Sacred Pills were the Pill of Thousand Paths, the Pill of Desire, and the Great Restoration Pill.

The Pill of Thousand Paths was a pill that helped cultivators at the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm to cultivate the Precept Domain and breakthrough into the Thousand-Koan Realm.

The Pill of Desire was a pill that helped cultivators at the Hundred-Shackle Realm break through the 100th shackle, the Shackle of Desire.

The Great Restoration Pill was a healing pill used by Supreme Saints above the Thousand-Koan Realm. As long as one was still breathing, they could recover in a short time no matter how serious their injuries were.

The Elixir Spirits of the three Quasi-Emperor Grade Sacred Pills were comparable to the cultivation of a Supreme Saint in the Early-stage of the Thousand-Koan Realm. From this, it could be seen how magnanimous the Fane of Immortality was.

Of course, they were also Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pills. The value of these three pills added together was far from comparable to Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pills.

This was because it was extremely difficult for a Saintwill Pill to produce a King Grade Pill. Only the Grand Supreme Master could have the chance to refine a Quasi-Emperor Grade. ????????????????eα????. ????????????

“The Fane of Immortality is too kind. It seems that they want to help me breakthrough into the Thousand-Koan Realm as soon as possible,” said Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen put away the three Quasi-Emperor Grade Sacred Pills, studied the Divine blood Armor, and put it into his Ring of Dimensions.

He knew that the Divine Blood Armor was made of divine blood and various divine materials for refining weapons. Putting it on, its defensive power was needless to say. It could also burst out a divine’s power, greatly increasing a cultivator’s combat power.

However, Zhang Ruochen had several unique armors. None of them were weaker than the Divine Blood Armor.

For example, the Armor of the Fire God, and the Meritorious Armor of Flowing Light…

Thus, the Divine Blood Armor wasn’t too attractive to him.

“The Fane of Destiny and the Fane of Immortality have both given rewards,” Zhang Ruochen said. “The leader of the Immortal Vampires doesn’t plan to give any rewards? Shouldn’t the Bloodysky Clan give something as well?”

Zhang Ruochen continued, “As far as I know, after the Battle of Celestial-Hunting, the Bloodysky Clan’s ranking has changed from tenth to eighth. The Dominion of the Bloodysky Clan seems to have entered a higher plane. I can feel that the concentration of the blood-red aura in the entire Macroworld has increased significantly.

“Oh, the Xue Jue Family should also give me a reward, right? I heard that Xue Chen and Xue Ningxiao have both received a reward.”

Supreme Saint Qingsheng had mixed feelings. His face turned dark. He said, “You have more treasures than the gods. Do you really need it? I believe you won’t be interested in ordinary rewards, am I right?”

“Uncle, why do you sound so upset? I led the Immortal Vampires to the first place of the ten clans. Shouldn’t I get a reward? I improved the ranking of the Bloodysky Clan. I made the Xue Jue Family famous. All of this was done with my life. Don’t tell me I don’t have a place to reason with?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Supreme Saint Qingsheng felt even worse. He said,”Don’t tell me this. I’m just a temporary leader. All my wealth added up isn’t even one-tenth of yours. You have to reason with Wargod Bloodixmius and the leader. Ask them to give you a reward.”

Zhang Ruochen nodded seriously. “That’s right. We should talk to Wargod Bloodximius about this.”

“Wargod Bloodximius and the clan leader, and most of the Immortal Vampires’ gods have already left for the Jadeite Realm. I’m afraid you’ll have to wait a long time for a reward,” Supreme Saint Qingsheng said with a smile.

Zhang Ruochen said, “Since uncle is the clan leader, you can decide what the clan should reward me, right? I don’t want any other treasures. How about 100,000 Godstones?”

Supreme Saint Qing Sheng’s expression was solemn, “Speaking of rewards, I have some bad news for you,” he said. “Yesterday, as the head of the family, I announced that I would give you the property of the Xue Jue family on Hoth. After that, Madam Nixuan left the family today. I guess she most likely went to Hoth.”

“We discussed the property on Hoth before. How did it become a reward for me?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Supreme Saint Qingsheng pretended not to hear him and continued to lower his voice, “Hoth’s benefits are amazing,” he said. “Madam Nixuan will definitely not give it away. Now that she’s in charge, it’s almost impossible for you to take over the properties. I suggest that you stay in the family to cultivate for the next period. First, raise your cultivation to the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm. Then you can make the next step.”

Zhang Ruochen could see that his uncle was a very stingy person. If he continued to ask for rewards, he would most likely pretend not to hear him.

In fact, Zhang Ruochen did not lack Godstones. He just wanted to take this opportunity to make Supreme Saint Qingsheng owe him a favor.

A favor from a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint was more precious than 100,000 Godstones in his eyes.

Zhang Ruochen pretended to be disappointed and said self-deprecatingly. He said, “Both Xue Chen and Xue Ningxiao have rewards, but I, as the biggest contributor, have nothing. As the head of the family, you shouldn’t be so biased, right?”

Supreme Saint Qingsheng blushed and felt guilty. He felt that he had indeed mistreated Zhang Ruochen. He was about to say something, and Zhang Ruochen said again, “Forget it. I know my uncle’s difficulties. He just became the head of the family. He wants to work hard and make the family grow. Every Godstone must be used on the blades. Giving me 100,000 Godstones is equivalent to training 100,000 fewer saints and Saint Kings.”

“Ruochen, it’s rare for you to understand my situation. I’m really touched,” said Supreme Saint Qingsheng.

Although he said this, Supreme Saint Qingsheng was thinking in his heart. What was Zhang Ruochen planning?

100,000 Godstones was something even he, a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint, dreamed of. Would Zhang Ruochen not want it? He definitely had other intentions.

Zhang Ruochen said, “Actually, I have something I want to ask my uncle for help with.”

Supreme Saint Qingsheng secretly guessed that Zhang Ruochen wanted him to deal with Madam Nixuan, so he did not agree immediately. He said, “Just ask. As long as uncle can do it, I will help you.”

Another meaning of this sentence was…

If it’s beyond one’s ability, then there’s nothing one can do!

To go to Hoth to deal with Madam Nixuan, could be dangerous even for a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint. If she was really cornered, she would do anything.

Zhang Ruochen saw Supreme Saint Qing Sheng’s worry and smiled. He said, “Don’t worry, uncle. I’m not asking you to go with me to Hoth. I can handle Hoth myself. You don’t have to do anything.”

Supreme Saint Qing Sheng understood what he meant and said seriously, “You still want to go to Hoth?”

“Uncle has given me the properties of Hoth. If I don’t go, won’t I be laughed at by all the cultivators of the Bloodysky Clan?” Zhang Ruochen said.

Supreme Saint Qingsheng knew that Zhang Ruochen wasn’t a reckless person. Since he dared to go to Hoth, he must have some confidence.

Supreme Saint Qinsheng thought, ‘Why was this kid so confident?

‘What trump cards did he have?’

“Alright,” Supreme Saint Qingsheng said. “Since you’ve made up your mind, of course I’ll support you. Later, I’ll get someone to give you the details of Hoth. How many cultivators do you plan to take with you to Hoth?”

“I have not much faith in our family’s cultivator, so I’m not bringing any,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Supreme Saint Qingsheng looked at Zhang Ruochen with a complicated expression. He was curious, confused, appreciative, and worried. He said, “What did you say you want me to do for you?”

Zhang Ruochen smiled enigmatically. He said, “It’s a big deal! If you could do it, the family’s development would be just around the corner. However, we still have to wait. I’ll send you a message in three months. By then, I should have taken Hoth.”

He was, of course, referring to the search for the Fane of Origin.

After Zhang Ruochen left the meeting hall, Supreme Saint Qingsheng’s old face was still filled with shock, he murmured, “Take Hoth in three months? Nonsense. impossible. Absolutely impossible. Zhang Ruochen was still too young. He didn’t understand how powerful Madam Nixuan was. Furthermore, Hoth is her territory.”

…

The Progenitor Pond was located above the underground divine vein of the Xue Jue family. It was one of the family’s forbidden areas. Even a Supreme Saint might not be qualified to enter.

The pool was bottomless. During the day, it was blood red.

At night, it was sparkling white. It was like a moon embedded in the ground.

When Zhang Ruochen came to the Progenitor Pond, it was already nighttime. The blood-red sky had turned dark red. However, the pool water was bright and rosy. There was a layer of white fluorescence on the surface of the water.

In the center of the pool was a square-shaped altar. Mysterious Divine Marks were carved on the altar, shining like earthworms.

Chi Kongyue was lying in the center of the altar. She was wearing white clothes and a jade pendant in the shape of a swallow hung on her neck.

The power of the Progenitor Pond kept flowing into her body through the Divine Marks on the altar. It balanced the powerful Asuran Battle Qi in her body, as well as the divine soul and divine spirits left by Asurendra Samay.

Every time he came to the Progenitor Pond, Zhang Ruochen could only stand by the pond and watch from afar.

Lord Ming appeared by the pond and said, “Before your mother and Wargod Bloodximius went to the Jadeite Realm, they left her in my care.”

“How long will it take for her to wake up?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Lord Ming said, “She can’t wake up until she has refined the divine soul and divine spirits of Asurendra Samay. You see her lying there. In fact, she is constantly fighting with the divine soul and divine spirits. She is fighting with the battle Qi while cultivating at the same time. Her cultivation has been improving.”

Zhang Ruochen tightened his hands and said, “She is still so young. What if she can’t bear it?”

Lord Ming said, “You’re right. The biggest test for her is her will. The Xue Jue Family has already used the Progenitor Pond to help her. If she still can’t survive, this is her destiny.”

Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes and thought, ‘Kongyue, I look forward to the day you wake up.’

After a while.

Zhang Ruochen cupped his fists and bowed to Lord Ming. “Thank you for taking care of Kongyue, uncle.” The latest_epi_sodes are on_the novelenglish.net . Firᴇ

Lord Ming waved his hand. He didn’t seem to care. “I’m studying the mysteries of the Progenitor Pond anyway. I just need to send out a divine spirit and pay attention to her.”

“I’m going to Hoth in a few days. I want to ask for a streak of sword Qi from you,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Lord Ming asked, “Who are you going to use it against?”

“You should know,” Zhang Ruochen said.

As a god, how could he not know what was going on in the Xue Jue Family?

Zhang Ruochen was sure that Lord Ming would help him in dealing with Madam Nixuan.

Lord Ming paced around the pond. After nine steps, he stopped, “Gods can’t interfere in the fight between mortals,” he said. “Before leaving, Wargod Bloodximius told me that I can’t go against the rules of Celestial Court and Infernal Court.”

Zhang Ruochen said, “My uncle bestowed on me a streak of sword Qi to help me save my life. To protect me from Madam Nixuan when she tries to kill me.”

“Are you sure Madam Nixuan will kill you?” Lord Ming asked.

Zhang Ruochen said, “I will force her to do it.”

“Well, she almost killed me in Kunlun. Of course, I have to pay her back. Give me the Ancient Abyssal Blade!” said Lord Ming.

Zhang Ruochen was overjoyed. He immediately took out the Ancient Abyssal Sword and handed it to Lord Ming.

Lord Ming’s fingers formed a sword gesture. In an instant, the entire Progenitor Pond was filled with strong winds and the sound of the sword was deafening. The air was filled with sword shadows of divine light.

Whoosh

Two fingers slashed across the Ancient Abyssal Sword.

Instantly, countless sword shadows of divine light rushed toward the Ancient Abyssal Sword.

A foot-long red sword scar appeared on the sword.
