God Emperor

Chapter 2007: Enraged

Zhang Ruochen stabilized himself, and the surface of the Armor of the Fire God was still burning with crimson flames, and were not extinguished by the terrible impact earlier on.

“The complete Armor of the Fire God sure is not pushover. Its defense is far beyond the Meritorious Armor of Flowing Light, but more importantly, it can greatly enhance my own attack power.” Zhang Ruochen clenched his fist as he was shocked deep down.

With the help of the Armor of the Fire God, the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Palm Strike he had unleashed, the power was undoubtedly greatly enhanced and could block Shang Ziyan’s full-powered strike. Its effect was undoubtedly far better than he had expected.

“Zhang Ruochen, do you think you can change anything with just the Armor of the Fire God? You must be dreaming.”

Shang Ziyan sneered again as he striked once again.

A frigid Qi rushed out of Shang Ziyan’s body in a frenzy, forming into a massive ferocious beast.

At the same time, the Tower of a Thousand Temperings flew out and became extremely large, and like a divine mountain, unleashed volleys of terrifying supreme power.

A sharp glint appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes as his body suddenly shuddered as all 144 acupoints all over his body opened up and the saint Qi inside his body were released in a frenzy.

Even though his current cultivation base may be lesser than Shang Ziyan, but in terms of the quantity and quality of his Saint Qi was not necessarily inferior to Shang Ziyan.

The Armor of the Fire Gods spat out an even more terrifying crimson flame, revealing the force capable of immolating the heavens.

Zhang Ruochen let out a violent roar as he gathered all of the flames to his left leg, and stomped three times with astonishing succession in the air.

BOOM!!

Three devastatong waves of fire appeared and swept out.

Using the power of Yanshen’s Leg to unleash the Nine-Heavens God’s Step, and then supplementing it with the power of the Armor of the Fire God, the kind of power unleashed was just simply beyond anyone’s imagination.

BAAAMMM!!!

Although the ferocious beast was powerful, in the face of three waves of fire piling upon it, it was still quickly annihilated.

The supreme power unleashed by the Tower of a Thousand Temperings were shattered by the waves of fire and the tower itself was sent flying back.

If it was any other sacred artifacts, a collision of this level would have already damaged or outright destroyed them.

This time, Zhang Ruochen only took five steps backwards, and it seemed like he was not affected at all.

Perhaps due to the effect of extreme heat and cold, thick clouds formed above the Peacock Manor, darkening everything as it covered the moon and the stars, looking as if the sky was about to collapse.

BOOOMM!

A rumbling thunder boomed and a pouring rain fell in an instant.

“What’s the deal with that armor? How did Zhang Ruochen get so powerful after putting it on?”

“That seems like the legendary Armor of the Fire God, a very powerful divine artifact.”

“By relying on a divine artifact, Zhang Ruochen can actually fight toe to toe with Shang Ziyan who had broken into the Precept Dominion-realm. How strong is Zhang Ruochen?”

“I’ve heard that the Armor of the Fire God is very special, and ordinary people cannot use it at all. Not sure why Zhang Ruochen could though.”

“Regardless, Zhang Ruochen has now found a stable footing once again, who knows what will happen next.”

“These two are just too terrifying, one at the peak of Greater Precept-World-realm, another had just broke into the Precept Dominion-realm, but the battle between the two is like two supreme Saints fighting each other. If this was in the outer realms, stars and planets would have been destroyed.”

...

Many of the spectating cultivators were completely awed by Zhang Ruochen’s performance.

Many of them had already felt that Zhang Ruochen’s defeat was certain, and will be ruthlessly crushed by Shang Ziyan.

But now, no one dared to be too sure as no one knew what other unexpected events would happen until the very last moment.

Shang Ziyan’s expression was particularly bitter. He had never expected such an outcome.

Turning his eyes, Shang Ziyan looked at Zhang Ruochen’s left leg, his heart filled with fury. He did not expect his master’s divine leg would become a major obstacle for him to take out Zhang Ruochen.

Yanshen’s Leg and the Armor of the Fire God, on their own, were not terrifying, but when the combination of the two was extremely devastating.

It could be said that for Zhang Ruochen with Yanshen’s leg to get the Armor of Fire God, it was to literally double his power.

“Die!”

The murderous intent in SHang Ziyan’s eyes skyrocketed as he held the Bloodbairn and struck straight at Zhang Ruochen.

He wanted to see how strong the Armor of the Firegod was, and if it could resist the Bloodbairn in his hand.

He had never lost a battle with the Bloodbairn in hand before, and it will be no exception this time as well.

Shang Ziyan activated the Bloodbairn with all of his might as countless of golden lines appeared on the sword’s surface, unleashing volleys of evil divine power.

Using the Path of Flowing Light, Shang Ziyan transformed into a flowing light as his speed shot up to the extreme.

CLANG!

The Bloodbairn struck the Armor of the Fire God again and again as it wanted to break through the armor’s defense.

At this moment, Zhang Ruochen was not wearing the Meritorious Armor of Flowing Light so his speed was not as fast as Shang Ziyan and could only defend passively.

The attack of the Bloodbairn was extremely aggressive and devastating, enough to damage a Neverwither Supreme Saint.

Even with the Armor of the Fire God protecting him, Zhang Ruochen was still constantly being pushed back, clearly at a disadvantage.

It was clear that while the Armor of the Fire God could increase his strength, it could not completely bridge the gap in power between him and Shang Ziyan.

Fortunately, the Armor of the Fire God had amazing defense, and while Shang Ziyan’s attacks were terrifying, but he could no longer pose too big of a threat to him. At the very least, seriously wounding him was not an easy task now.

With a thought, Zhang Ruochen once again took out the Ancient Abyssal Blade and while infusing it with his saint Qi, he also unleashed the power of fire from the Armor of the Fire God and enchanted it onto the blade.

The Ancient Abyssal Blade swung as Zhang unleashed the True Thunder-Fire Sword.

BOOM!!

Bolts of thunder fell from the sky, drawn in by the Ancient Abyssal Blade as they struck at Shang Ziyan.

The combination of thunder and the crimson flames released by the Armor of the Fire God was extremely radiant, and could fully unleash the full power of the True Thunder-Fire Sword.

For a time, Zhang Ruochen was able to resist Shang Ziyan’s ferocious offense.

The violet Godstone embedded in the Ancient Abyssal Blade glowed lightly, covering the Ancient Abyssal Blade with a layer of faint purple glow.

CLANG!

The Ancient Abyssal Blade clashed against the Bloodbairn as a terrifying power went through the Bloodbairn straight onto Shang Ziyan.

Astonishingly, Shang Ziyan was sent three steps back by the shock of the attack, and both of his arms trembled slightly as a numbing sensation appeared.

“Zhang Ruochen actually sent Shang Ziyan reeling with just a strike? Is my eyes playing tricks on me?”

Seeing Shang Ziyan being pushed back, there was an immediate cry out from the spectating cultivators.

For Zhang Ruochen to use the Armor of the Fire God to turn things around and regained his footing, this alone had surprised many.

And now he could even sent Shang Ziyan reeling in battle thus gaining a sliver of advantage, this was even more astonishing.

Shang Ziyan’s sense were extremely acute, and instantly locked onto the Violet Godstone that was embedded in the Ancient Abyssal Blade.

“You actually forged this treasure together with the blade, no wonder it could unleash such power. A pity it’s just mere brute strength and is not much of a threat.” Shang Ziyan whispered to himself.

Immediately, Shang Ziyan struck again, using his speed advantage to unleash the Bloodbairn’s power to the extreme while he activated the Tower of a Thousand Temperings from time to time, to try to sneak in a surprise attack on Zhang Ruochen.

Immediately, two figures walked out of Shang Ziyan’s body towards different directions as they surrounded Zhang Ruochen and attacked.

At the same time, Shang Ziyan’s cultivation base had completely stabilized, and he could use the Path of the Three Corpses once again.

With two more opponents suddenly appearing, Zhang Ruochen situation suddenly became dire.

BAAAMMM!!! Follow current s on Fire(.)net

The Five-colored Merit Stele suddenly came crashing down as a five-colored divine light bombard Zhang Ruochen.

Even with the Armor of the Fire God protecting him, Zhang Ruochen still took a serious blow and spat out a big mouthful of blood.

BAAAMMM!!!

Not long after, the Tower of a Thousand Temperings struck, and while Zhang Ruochen tried his best to block it, he still ate a volley of supreme power.

Zhang Ruochen’s gaze became extremely terrifying as he used all of his might to unleash the twelfth palm of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Palm Strike.

In a rare stroke of fate, he had managed to activate the Precepts of Truth this time, and unleashed three times the attack power.

The Shang Ziyan with the Bloodbairn was just too close and could not dodge the strike, taking the blow straight on.

Shang Ziyan was immediately sent flying, although many divine marks appeared on his body, he still suffered serious trauma, and spew blood out of his mouth.

However, at the same time, the Shang Ziyan using the Tower of a Thousand Temperings took the opportunity to unleash the Light of the Dark Nether, and scored a square hit on Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen too was sent flying as the a good half of the flames on his Armor of the Fire God were extinguished as a layer of frigid white frost covered it.

For him to be wounded by Zhang Ruochen, Shang Ziyan could not help but to be furious. “Zhang Ruochen, no matter how much you struggle, you will die tonight; not only you, everyone related to you will also die!”

Even after breaking through into the realm of Precept Dominion, he still could not kill Zhang Ruochen, and that caused Shang Ziyan to completely lose his patience. In his view, this situation should not have happened.

Whoosh!

The three Shang Ziyan fused into one in an instant, as 17 million saint path precepts appeared and surrounded a unified Shang Ziyan, forming a powerful Precept Dominion.

The next moment, two surges of extreme Yin and Yang power surged out of Shang Ziyan’s body, colliding with each other and forming a terrifying scene as the space warped slightly.

“Zhang Ruochen, everything ends now.”

Shang Ziyan said with murderous abandon.

The power of the extreme Yin swelled violently, transforming into a three-headed beast, while the power of extreme Yang transformed into a massive flame giant, exuding a tyrannical aura as if it was a Flame Emperor.

The two stood side by side, each unleashing an extremely terrifying aura.

For a time, the precepts and power of the heaven and earth all surged in a frenzy towards them.

“RAAAWRRR!”

The ferocious beast and the flame giant let out a roar at the same time as their sound wave became corporeal and spread across all directions like a tsunami of landslides.

The force was so powerful and the area of effect extremely wide.

Even those cultivators spectating from afar were affected, and the weaker ones were sent flying, and some were seriously wounded as a result.

Even those powehouses on the battlefield were affected by it as they could not help but to fall back and pull a distance away as far as they could.
