Next, Zhang Ruochen used spatial power again. He used a spatial crack and folded up.

The spatial crack, hundreds of meters long, crashed against the attack formation hovering in the sky. It instantly tore the formation in half. The many formation runes were all broken apart.

The Luosha demon god standing at the center of the formation also cracked apart.

“Space...was actually torn apart...”

“He’s a spatial cultivator. Oh my, he’s actually a powerful figure who cultivates the spatial way.” ????????????????e????????. ????????????

...

The Luosha marquises were all stunned. When they looked at Zhang Ruochen again, their eyes were filled with fear.

All the Luosha marquises retreated inside the last layer of the defensive formation. Then they quickly formed three Nine Nine to One Formations.

At the same time, the attack formation on the land was activated. A destructive force flooded over to Zhang Ruochen.

He took out the Buddha’s sarira and held it in his hands.

Heavy Holy Qi poured out of the seven apertures in his left hand and entered the sarira. Power from the saintly source of a Supreme Saint burst forth instantly.

Whoosh!

Thousands upon thousands of Buddhist runes flew around Zhang Ruochen, forming a ten-meter-wide ball of glowing runes.

At the same time, Zhang Ruochen released a spatial territory. He controlled it to be ten meters wide too.

When the power from the attack formation reached within ten meters of Zhang Ruochen, half of it was blocked by the sarira. The others were moved to elsewhere by the spatial power.

Zhang Ruochen held the sarira in one hand and picked up the Abyss Ancient Sword with the other. He strode forward, approaching the last defensive formation.

Boom!

Suddenly, a handprint penetrated the sarira’s defensive power and pressed toward Zhang Ruochen’s heart.

The handprint was formed by Rules of Palm Way and Saintly Way. There was a black hole in the center of the palm. It was actually eating up the origin power of the sarira.

I finally encountered a top figure of the Luosha race, Zhang Ruochen thought.

The power that the handprint carried was extremely abstruse. It was also very aggressive. Clearly, the other was very advanced in the Palm Way.

At least, Zhang Ruochen hadn’t reached that level in the Palm Way yet.

He picked up the Abyss Ancient Sword and cut downward. The sword clashed against the incoming handprint.

Boom!

Overpowering force traveled from the Abyss Ancient Sword, sending Zhang Ruochen back 14 steps. Each step collapsed a portion of the earth.

Sword Qi and palm power filled the air without scattering for a long while.

An elder in a white robe stood across from Zhang Ruochen. The Sword Qi and palm power dissipated automatically when they were within ten feet of him.

This white-robed elder was called White Feather. He was at the peak of the Absolute Saint Realm and a second marquis.

His ancient eyes studied Zhang Ruochen, scanning him, and he nodded. “You are so powerful at your young age,” he said. “Not easy.”

Zhang Ruochen stabbed the Abyss Ancient Sword into the ground. Massaging his hurting arm, he said, “Your earlier palm technique has already reached the mid-saint spell level?”

“The Sky Swallowing Palm is indeed a mid-saint spell level. However, I’ve already cultivated for more than 300 years and I’ve only reached minor completion. I’m still far from completion.”

White Feather’s voice was raspy as he spoke.

Saint spells were grouped into lower, middle, and upper levels.

With a Saint’s cultivation and understanding of the Saintly Way, it was already impressive to reach the highest level of a spell.

Usually, only a Saint King could successfully cultivate a mid-level spell. Only a Saint King’s heavy saintly power could cast a mid-level spell too.

White Feather could reach minor completion for a mid-level spell. It was evident that he was more talented in the Palm Way than others.

Zhang Ruochen picked up the Abyss Ancient Sword again. His aura grew even sharper. “Fight,” he said.

Facing a second marquis, he didn’t have to use tentative attacks at all. Zhang Ruochen used his strongest power immediately. Beams of strong sword intent formed into swords and converged into a flood of Sword Qi. It flooded over at White Feather.

At the same time, he activated all the runes on the Abyss Ancient Sword. Activating a complete force, he stabbed forward, leaving a trail of sword light behind.

“Your attainments in the Sword Way aren’t low,” White Feather said.

Then he reached his hands out together. A black hole appeared on each hand. There were two vortices of black wind.

“Sky Swallowing Palm.”

He slapped his two hands forward and shattered all the Sword Qi, turning it into wisps of white smoke.

At the same time, the two vortices overlapped. The power strengthened ten times, growing stronger and stronger. All the rocks on the ground were swept into the sky.

Boom!

Two terrifying forces collided. The ground was shattered instantly, a crack that was hundreds of miles long appearing.

White Feather lived on the battlefield and had very rich combat experience. After casting the Sky Swallowing Palm, he immediately used a physical technique and moved to Zhang Ruochen’s side. He struck with a blood-red rune.

“Saint Killing Rune.”

The rune transformed into a beam of bloody light. It flew to a few feet away from Zhang Ruochen and suddenly exploded. It released a mass of blinding red light.

Zhang Ruochen grabbed the Monument Shield and blocked in the direction of the rune.

However, thousands of lightning bolts flew out of a Nine Nine to One Formation inside the defensive formation. They wove together into 12 lightning giants that charged toward Zhang Ruochen.

He could only pick up the Abyss Ancient Sword and hold it horizontally to block them.

Boom!

Under the collision of the two forces, Zhang Ruochen flew backwards and landed dozens of miles away. His internal organs seemed to have all been dislocated. He felt immense pain.

Snatching this chance, White Feather attacked as soon as Zhang Ruochen landed. White light flowed out of his sleeves. They transformed into two saint clouds and struck out.

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes focused. He saw that there was a human-shaped saint skeleton inside each cloud.

The bones were translucent as if made out of jade. The insides radiated with extremely strong saintly might.

If they were still alive, they would definitely be very powerful figures. Even if they hadn’t reached the Supreme Saint Realm, they would at least be at the peak of the Saint King Realm.

Zhang Ruochen raised the Monument Shield again. Densely packed thunder and fire flew out of the surface, forming a huge divine monument.

Boom.

The power from the two skeletons shattered the thunder god shield and hit the Monument Shield heavily. Zhang Ruochen was forced back again.

At the same time, the three Nine Nine to One Formations and a dozen attack formations all attacked at the same time. They helped White Feather to kill Zhang Ruochen completely.

After the continuous attacks, the Holy Carnivorous Flower was heavily injured. Zhang Ruochen collected it back into his body.

He kept using physical techniques, dodging the formations’ attacks while fighting White Feather. Explosions kept sounding throughout the air.

“Human junior, if you don’t use spatial power, you will probably die here.”

White Feather knew that Zhang Ruochen cultivated the Spatial Way, so he didn’t approach Zhang Ruochen. He just controlled the two saint skeletons to attack.

There were many runes carved inside the saint skeletons. They were refined into human-shaped Ten-thousand-pattern Saint Weapons. Thus, their every attack was aggressive, like the half-complete power of a Ten-thousand-pattern Saint Weapon.

“You are indeed strong, but it’s not to the point of forcing me to use spatial power. The battle has just begun.”

Zhang Ruochen stopped retreating. He activated the Holy Qi within him, sending it into the boxing glove on his right hand. The glove transformed into the Hundred Saint Blood Armor, covering his entire body.

Then the armor shone with dazzling light. One hundred saint images flew out of the armor. Each one had the power of a lower Saint.

“Power of the Hundred Saints.”

Zhang Ruochen formed a palm print with both hands.

After combing the power from 100 Saints, Zhang Ruochen used the Thousand Hand Dragon Elephant, a move from the Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm.

Instantly, thousands upon thousands of divine dragon and elephant shadows appeared. They blasted forward, hitting the two saint skeletons.

Kaboom.

Zhang Ruochen’s two handprints hit the chests of the skeletons, sending them flying back. They hit the defensive formation’s light shield heavily.

Without giving White Feather the chance to control the two skeletons again, Zhang Ruochen pushed off the ground. He shot forward and was instantly before White Feather. “Dragon Traveling Nine Days,” he yelled.

It was the tenth palm of the Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm.

White Feather’s expression didn’t change. He also activated the evil Qi in him, forming the Sky Swallowing Palm and slapping forward.

The two handprints clashed. It produced a shocking noise, like two divine mountains crashing.

The tenth palm of the Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm was indeed a bit weaker than the Sky Swallowing Palm. But Zhang Ruochen had the support of the Hundred Saints. He was like a war god and actually made it impossible for White Feather to stand steady. He kept retreating.

“Dragon and Elephant Divine Furnace.”

Zhang Ruochen changed his tactic again. His entire body burned with blazing flames. Like a blazing divine furnace, he collided with White Feather again.

The fire burning out of Zhang Ruochen was Divine Fire Jingmie. Combined with the Power of the Hundred Saints and the Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm, the power was terrifying to the max.

Boom.

White Feather was sent flying. He landed below the defensive formation.

He raised his hands. The metal gloves on his hands had melted and his hands kept bleeding.

“It’s actually Divine Fire Jingmie.”

White Feather’s expression turned grave. He looked back at Zhang Ruochen and couldn’t help but gasp.

Not only was this person extremely advanced in the Sword and Palm Way, he’d actually collected the Divine Fire Jingmie and controlled space. Who exactly was he?

Could he be the Heir of one of the Shatuo Seven Fields?
