Chapter 1243: Xuanhuang Qi

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

“Zhang Ruochen, do you really think you can intimidate a saint at Xuanhuang Realm as a lower-class saint? You’re being a joke.”

Demoness Xue Zhen wasn’t arrogant, but she didn’t believe that a lower-class saint could rival her.

Few could fight those who were one level higher than them at the state of saint.

Those who could fight saints that were two levels superior were some incredible creatures like Carnivorous Holy Flower and Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon, and some of the very few Taigu remains.

She had never heard of anyone who could fight saints three levels superior to them.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to waste time on talking. He murmured, “Abyss.”

Hua La.

The Abyss Ancient Sword flew out and floated above Zhang Ruochen.

Holy Qi gushed out of the one-hundred and forty-four apertures of Zhang Ruochen’s body, turning into one-hundred and forty-four airflows, filling the sword.

Inscriptions emerged on the surface of the black sword. One thousand, two thousand and three thousand...

There were more than six thousand inscriptions on the Abyss Ancient Sword. It was a top-tier thousand-pattern saint weapon.

Zhang Ruochen could only utilize four thousand inscriptions with his cultivation. He couldn’t wield the true power of the Abyss Ancient Sword.

Hong Long Long.

Thousand-patterns destruction gushed out of the Abyss Ancient Sword. All of a sudden, tens of thousands of sword Qi were formed in the sky and land.

“Four thousand inscriptions... No wonder you dare challenge me. You have such an impressive saint weapon.”

Demoness Xue Zhen’s turned stiff, as she wasn’t as positive as before.

It was difficult for even upper-class saints to trigger four thousand inscriptions at the same time, yet Zhang Ruochen was able to do so as a lower-class saint.

Which meant he was indeed exceptional.

Demoness Xue Zhen knew that she couldn’t underestimate Zhang Ruochen. She raised her hand, and Yu Jing Saint Mirror flew up from her palm, getting larger and larger as if it were a moon hanging above everyone’s head.

“Zhang Ruochen, you could barely trigger the four thousand inscriptions, could you? Do you know what this is?”

Demoness Xue Zhen held Yu Jing Saint Mirror with no effort, yet the savage barren ancient forces from the mirror were more powerful than the thousand-pattern destruction from the Abyss Ancient Sword.

Zhang Ruochen had indeed used all his power to trigger the four thousand inscriptions on the Abyss Ancient Sword.

Zhang Ruochen said, “What do you have to be proud of? The only edge you have is Xuanhuang Qi.”

“It seems you’ve never fought a creature at Xuanhuang Realm. You have no idea how forceful Xuanhuang Qi is.” Demoness Xue Zhen gave a snort a contempt.

When a saint reached Xuanhuang Realm, their holy Qi would turn into Xuanhuang Qi.

Xuan was the sky, and Huang was the land.

The so-called Xuanhuang Qi was Qi of sky and land. It was holy Qi, but it was purer.

Even a trace of Xuanhuang Qi was more powerful than all the holy Qi in a lower-class saint combined.

Besides, the thousand-patterns saint weapons wielded by Xuanhuang Qi were more forceful.

Which was why the gap between upper-class saints and saints at Xuanhuang Realm was enormous. It was difficult for an upper-class saint to fight a Xuanhuang saint, which was why Demoness Xue Zhen didn’t even consider Zhang Ruochen to be her equal.

Little did she know that Zhang Ruochen had both the Abyss Ancient Sword and Ten Saints Blood Armor. He could use the power of ten saints to rival a Xuanhuang saint.

Demoness Xue Zhen pointed forward, and a trace of Xuanhuang Qi gushed out of her finger, filling Yu Jing Saint Mirror.

The savage barren forces coming from Yu Jing Saint Mirror became stronger. They crushed toward Zhang Ruochen and crushed all the sword Qi around him.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t use spatial move to dodge it. Instead, he wanted to ward off that attack directly to see how powerful a Xuanhuang saint beast was.

Hua.

the Abyss Ancient Sword flew forward and clashed with Yu Jing Saint Mirror, making a deafening metal sound.

Yu Jing Saint Mirror dissipated the thousand-patterns destruction force from the Abyss Ancient Sword, knocking the sword down.

The barren savage destruction force formed a savage barren world where there were dozens of ancient mountains and tens of thousands of phantoms of savage beasts, which tried to annihilate Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen wasn’t able to defend himself against that force.

He had to activate Ten-saints Blood Armor to cover his body. He yelled, “Power of ten saints, Unmovable Emperor Ming Saintly Look.”

Ten saint shadows rushed out of the armor and stood in ten different directions around Zhang Ruochen.

At the center of the ten saint shadows was a human being which was as large as a mountain. He stood up like a God.

The Unmovable Emperor Ming Saintly Look and the power of ten saints were combined and formed a palm print, clashing with Yu Jing Saint Mirror, diving.

Hong Long.

Unmovable Emperor Ming Saintly Look and Ten Saints Phantom were all crushed, turning into eleven saint Qi clouds.

Zhang Ruochen moved a hundred feet back, and he barely balanced himself, ending up right beside Ao Xinyan.

“I’ve underestimated the power of a Xuanhuang saint. I’ve used all the forces, yet I still failed to ward it off.”

Zhang Ruochen now had a new understanding of the power of Xuanhuang saints.

“He survived the first strike of Yu Jing Saint Mirror. That person is strong enough to rival some weak Xuanhuang creatures.”

Although Demoness Xue Zhen was surprised, she was still confident in herself. She said, “That was just the first force of Yu Jing Saint Mirror, yet you could barely resist it. The second force will put you in despair.”

Yu Jing Saint Mirror flew up again, and it covered half of the sky like a gleaming jade plate.

A larger savage barren world showed up under the jade plate. There were spectacular mountains and ferocious savage beasts. There were also rivers, clouds, and ancient trees. The savage barren ancient force only grew stronger.

Saint Beast Xuanwei looked to the savage barren world floating in the sky and smiled. “Demoness Xue Zhen has triggered the most profound power of Yu Jing Saint Mirror. Even the ordinary Xuanhuang saints will be annihilated, not to mention Zhang Ruochen.”

Zhang Ruochen was tiny like an ant when he was standing under the savage barren world.

“So what you’re at a higher level? That doesn’t represent all the power of a monk.”

Zhang Ruochen looked calm. He pointed at the space and murmured, “Break.”

Hong Long.

The space around that savage barren world crumbled, and seven cracks that were dozens of miles long tore everything apart.

Meanwhile, Zhang Ruochen vanished from where he stood and showed up behind Demoness Xue Zhen, slashing toward her.

Demoness Xue Zhen sensed the sword Qi behind her. She immediately turned around, mobilized Xuanhuang Qi inside her body, concentrated it into the tip of her finger and pointed forward.

“Morning Sword.”

Zhang Ruochen performed one of the moves from the Twelfth Hour Sword Technique.

The sword light coming out of the sword was like the rising sun of the morning.

The flow of time became incredibly slow around the morning sword.

Just as the Demoness pointed her finger forward, the tip of the Abyss Ancient Sword clashed with her finger.

Pu Chi.

The finger and the palm at the end of the arm of Demoness Xue Zhen turned into a cluster of blood-red mist.

Her red arm disappeared.

The beautiful face of Demoness Xue Zhen twisted. She opened her mouth wide and yelled, sticking out her snake tongue.

After a short while, that beautiful human body disappeared, and instead, a python that was more than two thousand feet long showed up, winding around a mountain.

Yu Jing Saint Mirror floated above its head, gleaming.

Zhang Ruochen put his hands behind his back, stepping on the purple mud and walking forward. “Do you still think I’m not your match? Am I still a joke to you?”

The python opened its mouth wide and said, “You only hurt me because of the power of space and time, which is not your real power. You’re still far inferior to me.”

Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, “Manipulating time and space is a part of my real power.”

Zhang Ruochen stopped talking to Demoness Xue Zhen. He stepped forward and transported himself to above the huge python, slapping down.

Pa!

The head of the python was wounded. It yelled in agony.

The python rushed forward, crushing mountain after mountain.

Meanwhile, it was still trying to operate Yu Jing Saint Mirror to kill Zhang Ruochen with its savage barren ancient forces.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to confront Yu Jing Saint Mirror directly. He used spatial move to dodge it, and then, he wielded his the Abyss Ancient Sword to form space cracks.

Hong Long Long.

After an hour of fighting, the huge python was severely injured and kept bleeding. It even lost a part of its tail.

The huge python turned back into a human shape, stopped fighting Zhang Ruochen and rushed toward the volcano at the center of the island.

Zhang Ruochen was standing at the top of a mountain, looking at Demoness Xue Zhen run. He said, “Don’t you think it’s too late to run away now? Carnivorous Holy Flower, attack.”

A vine that was as thick as a bucket surged and wound around Demoness Xue Zhen who was trying to fly away like a blue dragon.

Demoness Xue Zhen yelled while she struggled.

She shifted between her human body and her python form, struggling to get out. She didn’t want to become nutrients to Carnivorous Holy Flower.

Gradually, it became quiet. A vine was stuck into the body of the giant python, sucking away the blood Qi and holy Qi.

The python became lifeless.

Demoness Xue Zhen used to be a queen in the Savage Barren Secret Region, ruling over millions of savage beasts, yet she was still killed on Dragon Fire Mountain, becoming the nutrients of Carnivorous Holy Flower.

Zhang Ruochen suppressed Yu Jing Saint Mirror. He landed and walked to the huge python, looking at the snake eyes that were as large as buckets without any mercy.

Zhang Ruochen took the dragon marble out and walked to Ao Xinyan.
