God Emperor

Chapter 1725: Tame a Top-tier Great Being

“Come back! What are you afraid of?” shouted Zhang Ruochen.

The Amazing Little Taoist hid outside the door, showing one of its eyes, and said, “I’m an eighth-step saint king now. If you really try to eat my head, I swear I can destroy the entire Moon Goddess Dojo during the fight.”

Zhang Ruochen frowned and asked Blackie, “Why is it so sensitive? Are you being sinister to it all the time?”

“No. Why would I? I’ve been treating it like my own brother. Why would I be sinister to it?” Blackie immediately shook its head.

The Amazing Little Taoist sneered, “Nonsense. You’ve been stalking me all the time. Every time I turn around, I can see you drooling.”

Blackie said, “Bullocks. I didn’t...”

Zhang Ruochen immediately scolded it and said, “How about me cutting your head off and helping you grow it back?”

“No. Hell no.”

Blackie kept retreating and said, “I have the body of a supreme saint. Once my head is cut off, I need a lot of blood Qi to regrow it, after which I’ll be weak for a long time before getting back to peak level.”

Zhang Ruochen stood up, holding the lotus seed in his hand, and said, “Relax. There’s tremendous vigor in this lotus seed. You won’t need any blood Qi to grow it back.”

Blackie kept shaking its head and said, “Didn’t you say that you wanted to test its power? How can you be so sure that my head can grow back? What if something goes wrong?”

Even if that lotus seed could guarantee to help a monk grow its head back, Blackie would in no way cut its head off.

It was a tremendously painful process, and it would damage its meridians and saint meridians.

The meridians and saint meridians were connected to the lower abdomen from the head through necks.

Even if the heads grew back, the meridians and saint meridians would be very difficult to grow back, and the hidden injuries would have negative impacts to some extent.

Blackie thought for a second and said, “If you really want to test its power, I have a perfect person for you to do it on.”

“Who?” asked Zhang Ruochen.

“Come with me.”

Blackie took Zhang Ruochen to the underground section of the Yin and Yang Palace.

There were twelve tower-shaped buildings deep in the underground palace.

The monks from the evil way in the previous Yin and Yang Palace had called it ‘Purgatory Tower’.

The Yin and Yang Palace locked the female saint kings in the Purgatory Tower to make them go through torture and thus wear away their mind power, turning them into slaves who only answered.

“Please... Mercy... Please...”

Zhang Ruochen heard a blood-curdling scream coming out of a Purgatory Tower.

Zhang Ruochen looked into the tower.

He saw a thin man being tied up by crimson chains which released lightning and flames, hitting him.

“The leader of Thousand Devil Field, Xie Chengzi.” Zhang Ruochen was very surprised.

Thousand Devil Field was ranked fourteen hundred and fiftieth, and it was one of the three demonic fields that had established the Yin and Yang Palace.

Xie Chengzi was definitely a prominent being in the demonic way, at the same level as Queen Lian and King Yan.

Nobody could’ve imagined that a great being whose fierce reputation preceded him was held in the Purgatory Tower he participated in building, not to mention that he was yelling and begging for mercy.

There were two saintesses guarding the Purgatory Tower.

Seeing Xie Chengzi who was tortured to half death, they were both clenching their teeth, yet one could tell from their eyes that they were rejoicing because of a sense of revenge.

This was karma!

Blackie smiled and said, “Half a year ago, Guanghan Field established its saint shop in Moon Goddess Dojo, opened the formation, and started to welcome the monks from all large fields to do business. However, some of the monks, led by Xie Chengzi, wanted to exploit this opportunity to annihilate Mood Goddess Dojo.

“Unfortunately for them, they couldn’t do it with me guarding the dojo. All the other monks have been killed, except Xie Chengzi, and because of that, those with hostility are all intimidated. Look how peaceful Moon Goddess Dojo is now.”

The Amazing Little Taoist clenched its teeth and said, “Have you no shame? It was I who suppressed them using the Purple-gold Bagua Mirror so that you could easily kill them, otherwise, they would’ve blown up saint sources and destroyed Moon Goddess Dojo.”

“What about the formation I set up? Even if they had blown up their saint sources, they wouldn’t have caused any serious damage,” said Blackie with absolute pride.

Seeing that the sage and the bird were about to start a fight, Zhang Ruochen immediately said, “Stop fighting. Bring Xie Chengzi here.”

“Whatever. I’m a supreme saint, so I should show graciousness to the saint pill.”

Blackie walked into Purgatory Tower and unchained Xie Chengzi. It dragged him by his leg to Zhang Ruochen.

Xie Chengzi was burnt completely black. He was terrified to see Zhang Ruochen in front of him.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t say a word to him, instead, he waved his hand and a trace of sword Qi flew out.

Poof!

He cut off Xie Chengzi’s left arm, making him bleed heavily.

Probably because of his crippling mind power, Xie Chengzi had a very low tolerance to pain. He screamed miserably while his body twitched.

Zhang Ruochen mobilized a trace of saint Qi and infused it into the blue lotus seed.

Whoosh!

Blue light was released, and soon, Xie Chengzi stopped bleeding. Instead, his wound started to granulate, and after ten breaths of time, a new arm grew back.

Zhang Ruochen squatted to check Xie Chengzi’s blood Qi and life force.

His blood Qi was slightly tamed, but it was still vigorous instead of feeble.

As for his life force, it wasn’t changed at all.

It was normal that his blood Qi was weakened, after all, his left arm was cut off, detached from his body.

Zhang Ruochen was pleased, so he kept testing.

On the second test, he cut off Xie Chengzi’s leg.

On the third test, he tore Xie Chengzi’s heart out.

On the fourth test, he slew Xie Chengzi at his waist.

On the fifth test, he cut off Xie Chengzi’s head.

...

After dozens of tests, Xie Chengzi was lying on the ground, shaking with horror, surrounded by his limbs and his organs.

Xie Chengzi didn’t lose any of his life force, but his blood Qi was greatly weakened.

Zhang Ruochen stopped testing, pinched the blue lotus seed, and exclaimed, “Great object, what a great object. This will be tremendously useful during a battle.”

Xie Chengzi climbed up, groveling on the ground, and said with his shaking voice, “Lord Ruochen... Please show mercy... I will never stand against you or Guanghan Field ever.”

The leader of a powerful field was begging for mercy and kneeling in front of a monk with weaker cultivation. Even if Zhang Ruochen spread the news, there would be no one who believed it.

Zhang Ruochen had inspected Xie Chengzi’s body constitution, and he found that he had Supreme Complete Body Constitution, practicing remarkable techniques.

Although Xie Chengzi’s state of mind had been destroyed, meaning he would never become a supreme saint, he still had the potential to become one of the most top-tier beings under supreme saint, so Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to kill him.

At least now, Xie Chengzi was still of some use.

“Get up and absorb the blood Qi back into your body,” said Zhang Ruochen apathetically.

Xie Chengzi stood up and performed his techniques. And then, grey evil mist was released from his body, wrapping the broken limbs and organs on the ground and taking in their blood Qi and saint Qi.

Zhang Ruochen wanted to release Xie Chengzi back to Thousand Devil Field to help him do his bidding in secret, but he immediately vetoed that idea as Xie Chengzi had an extraordinary status and would definitely get in contact with the supreme saints from Thousand Devil Field.

As supreme saints, they would definitely see through the disguise.

He could easily manipulate an ordinary monk, even a saint.

However, it was impossible for him to manipulate the leader of a large field, which was why Zhang Ruochen decided to have Xie Chengzi around as his super guard.

The broken limbs and organs turned into ashes as Xie Chengzi’s power returned to its peak, giving out icy evil Qi.

Zhang Ruochen said to Blackie, “Give him back his storage objects and weapons.”

“Um...” Blackie was a bit reluctant.

Zhang Ruochen knew that Xie Chengzi must’ve had lots of valuables, so Blackie wouldn’t just hand them over easily, so he said, “If you do, I’ll give you a hundred drops of Divine Spring water to help your cultivation recover.”

“Why didn’t you say so earlier? I’m not a petty bird.”

Blackie was thrilled. It then gave Xie Chengzi a dark green storage bracelet and looked at Zhang Ruochen with expectations.

Zhang Ruochen shook his head and gave Blackie a hundred drops of Divine Spring water, and then, he left Moon Goddess Dojo with Xie Chengzi on a saint carriage.

It was Xie Chengzi who was driving the saint carriage toward Hundred Flower Palace.

Xie Chengzi was wearing Ten-Thousand-Patterns Saint Weapon armor, covering his entire body, making him look like a black ironman. The saint might coming out of his body intimidated many monks on the streets.

Many monks were pondering the identity of the person sitting in the saint carriage, as he could have someone so powerful as his chauffer.

Zhang Ruochen was going to Hundred Flower Palace to get his Golden Dragon Carriage back, and meanwhile, he wanted to purchase some precious materials to help the Abyss Ancient Sword form its Taoist body.

Zhang Ruochen held the Emperor Yi Bone Staff in his hand while sitting in his carriage. He smiled and thought, No wonder Amber Ash was ranked first on the Saint King Merits Rank. The evil spirit became a pinnacle seventh-step saint king after only swallowing one percent of his saint soul. How powerful can it be after it refines all of Amber Ash’s saint soul?

Zhang Ruochen couldn’t look forward to it more.

Zhang Ruochen took away a part of the evil spirit, and the evil spirit became an upper-middle seventh realm saint king.

Zhang Ruochen had to control half of its spirit, no matter what.
