God Emperor

Chapter 2047: Undying

For a time, the entire world quickly dimmed, as the sword light from the Void Sword became the only dazzling light, ripping through the air and illuminating the land.

“Damn it, how could she have a Supreme Sacred Artifact?”

A storm was set off inside Crone Yinfan’s heart as she immediately wanted to avoid the sword strike.

However, the sword light had already locked onto her aura, making the strike unavoidable.

Crone Yinfan really felt a terrifying threat at this moment as her saint soul was almost ripped apart.

Not daring to hesitate, Crone Yinfan infused her Blood Sea demonic Qi into the Demonstone Engraving, as she tried her best to rouse it.

Suddenly, the engraving on the Demonstone Engraving exuded a stronger demonic Qi aura as the black dragon phantom became more corporeal and lifelike as it let out a roar into the sky.

In the sky above the Demonstone Engraving, demonic clouds roiled, covering the sky and obscuring the sun, as if a demon was about to descend upon the world, so oppressive the aura was that it was difficult to breathe.

Whooosh!

The white sword light slashed down, easily splitting the demonic cloud apart, and the demonic dragon phantom too was split into two, before slashing onto the Demonstone Engraving.

It had to be said the Demonstone Engraving was extraordinary, and even the attack from a Supreme Sacred Artifact could not cause any damage to it.

Although the sword light was blocked by the Demonstone Engraving, Crone Yinfan did not escape unscathed.

DUSSHH!

Crimson demonic blood splattered all around, as Crone Yinfan’s body split into two from the center, as she fell straight down.

At the same time, the Demonstone Engraving loss all control, as it fell down as well.

Han Xue’s eyes were cold as she reached out and grabbed the Demonstone Engraving over without any hindrances.

Without a question, this battle had already been decided.

“Hiss...” Thᴇ link to the origin of this information rᴇsts in ɴovelFɪre.net

Many of the spectating cultivators gasped hard, as their emotions roiled and were unable to calm down.

“That a terrifying sword strike. For her to kill Crone Yinfan with just a single slash. Is that Han Xue’s cultivation level only of the Precept Dominion-realm?”

“Han Xue is indeed very powerful herself, but that sword in her hand is even more powerful. If I’m not mistaken, it should be the Void Sword that the legendary Empress of Thousand Bones had used. The Empress of Thousand Bones had used this blade to kill a god long before she had become one herself.”

“It’s actually that godkilling Void Sword, no wonder it was so terrifying. Zhang Ruochen sure is lucky, taking a disciple that is related to the legendary Empress of Thousand Bones.

“I’m afraid such an outcome was something Mo Sheng had never expected. To kill a foe across cultivation realms, the people around Zhang Ruochen are all freaks that cannot be judged by common knowledge.”

“After losing three battles in a row, the Black Demon Realm’s honor is in tatters now. Losing three Demonstone Engravings, is probably enough to drive even Mo Sheng into a frenzy.

...

At this moment, the eyes of every person looking at Han Xue was very different now. Many had a look of awe in their eyes, and was completely convinced by the powerful show of force Han Xue had showed earlier.

Although Han Xue had used a Supreme Sacred Artifact, but who dared to say that that Supreme Sacred Artifact was not part of her strength?

“Even the Void Sword is now out in the open, Kunlun Realm is getting more and more interesting.”

Fairy Huofeng gazed at Han Xue with a suprised look appearing in both of her deep eyes.

After putting away the Void Sword into her sea of Qi, Han Xue used her saint Qi to wrap around the Demonstone Engravings, as she stepped upon the void as she returned to Zhang Ruochen’s side.

“Master, I have successfully brought back the Demonic Soaring Dragon Portrait.”

As she spoke, Han Xue handed both Demonstone Engravings to Zhang Ruochen.

“Zhang Ruochen smiled and said. “Good job.”

Frankly speaking, Han Xue’s performance was totally unexpected by Zhang Ruochen, and gave him quite the pleasant surprise.

One could imagine, for Han Xue to have her current strength today, she must have suffered a lot in the Underworld.

Thinking of when he first met Han Xue back then, she was only a child of three or four years old. She was thinly dressed and almost frozen to death in the ice and snow. Although she was young, her willpower was extremely strong, her heart resolute and able to persevere through everything.

From then on, Zhang Ruochen knew that Han Xue would have amazing accomplishments, and may perhaps keep up with the footsteps of the Empress of Thousand Bones.

Hearing Zhang Ruochen’s words, a brilliant smile bloomed on Han Xue’s face. To get Zhang Ruochen’s recognition made her heart filled with joy.

“Zhang Ruochen, I said this before, if you don’t work hard with your cultivation, you may be overtaken by Lassie Han Xue here. After all, she is the heritor of the Empress.” Blackie said proudly.

That feeling was as if Han Xue was brought up by it.

“The disciple surpassing the master, that should be what every master would like to see.” Zhang Ruochen smiled.

For Han Xue, he had always been proud of her.

Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen looked to the center of the battlefield, locking onto Crone Yinfan’s two bisected halves of her body.

Originally, there were no movements coming from Crone Yinfan, and that led to everyone assuming that she had been killed by Han Xue’s strike.

But at this moment, both halves of Crone Yinfan’s body stood up at the same time as her flesh squirmed, forming into two menacing crones.

“The Undying Divine Technique.”

A look of revelation appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes.

Back in the Celestial Domain of Truth, Zhang Ruochen had seen Elder Qi from the Fane of Death perform this demonic technique.

He had forgotten that the Undying Divine Technique was actually learnt from the Demonic World Burial Portrait, and with Crone Yinfan’s strength, how could she not successfully cultivate it?

Of course, Zhang Ruochen was not too surprised that Crone Yinfan was not dead. Her cultivation was deep and could not be easily killed.

However, remembering Han Xue’s blow earlier must have caused Crone Yinfan significant damage, or else she would not have waited this long to use the Undying Divine Technique.

This demonic exercise may seem magical, but it was not a true deathless state, and as long as the saint soul and vitality were completely wiped out, only death awaited.

A moment later, the two Crone Yinfan fused into one, her face was extremely pale, and her breathing weak, clearly had suffered a severe blow.

One could see that there was a look of horror in Crone Yinfan eyes.

If it werent’ for the Demonstone Engraving blocking off part of the sword light’s power, Crone Yinfan would have been truly in trouble.

“Not dying even after that, sure is a tough nut.” Bao Lie curled his lips.

Blackie sniggered and said. “She is indeed a tough nut, but with her injury so severe this time, she may very well never be able to break through to the Path’s Anterior-Realm.”

In terms of keen eyesight, there were few who could compare to Blackie. Since it had said so, it was very likely it had saw something.

Crone Yinfan glared at the Sect of the Blood God with seething resentment, before dragging her serious wounded body back towards the Black Demon Realm encampment.

“I never fought even you would lose, Yinfan.” Zuo Li chuckled bitterly.

If in the past, he would perhaps spew some vitriol at Crone Yinfan’s direction, but after his own defeat, he had no right to make fun of anyone.

Crone Yinfan’s face was gloomy as she kept silent and quietly sat down in a meditative stance, consuming a healing sacred pill to start healing her wounds.

Even she did not think that she would lose to a junior, and to lose that badly.

“It’s not shameless to use to the heritor of the Empress of Thousand Bones. Perhaps we can find clues of the Empress of Thousand Bones through this person, and complete the task given by Master.” Mo Sheng said faintly.

IN all, this was also a considerable gain.

Zhuo Gu stepped forward and said. “Senior Brother Mo Sheng, I’ll fight this battle.”

“Yes, be careful. No carelessness. I don’t want to see failure again.” Mo Sheng growled.

Zhuo Gu nodded and replied. “Don’t worry, as long as it isn’t Zhang Ruochen, others I beneath my notice.” Mo Sheng said nothing else and simply handed a Demonstone Engraving to Zhuo Gu.

The Black Demon Realm cultivators had almost fully mobilized, and had expended great effort to collect part of the true imprints of the Demonstone Engravings.

But now, in a blink of an eye, they lost three of them. If someone said that wasn’t painful, no one would have bought it.

However, there were many spectating cultivators of this gambit battle, and no matter how painful it was, they could not walk back on their words, otherwise, where would the Black Demon Realm put their face?

With demonic Qi wrapping around the Demonstone Engraving, Zhuo Gu did not delay and rushed towards the battlefield like a dragon charging out of the sea.

Whoosh!

Waving the Purple-gold Demonic Spear, and pointing it at the direction of the Sect of the Blood God, Zhuo Gu proudly said. “Zhuo Gu of the Black Demon Realm is here, who will fight me?”

“Sure enough, the Black Demon Realm sent out Zhuo Gu for this battle. This person is not easy to deal with.” Zhang Ruochen whispered, and was not surprised at all.

sending a top powerhouse like Zhuo Gu instead of others undoubtedly increased their odds of winning.

Luo Chen’s expression was indifferent as he gently wiped the Hidden Moon Blade, his entire person seemingly becoming one with the blade.

In the situation where Zhang Ruochen was not able to fight, only Luo Chen was the person capable of fighting Zhuo Gu.

Sadly, Kong Lanyou was not around, otherwise, their chances would be even better.

“Fourth Junior Brother, it’s all up to you now!” Jin Yu patted Luo Chen on the shoulder with an expectant look in his eyes.

Zhang Ruochen took out a Dimensional Teleportation Scroll and a Demonstone Engraving and handed it over to Luo Chen, saying. “Fourth Senior Brother, be careful. Don’t need to force yourself. We have already won three pieces of the Demonstone Engravings, so even if you need to call the battle off, it doesn’t matter.”

From the beginning, Zhang Ruochen had the mind of winning one piece at a time, and to have the results now as it was, things had already exceeded his expectations.

Therefore, he did not want Luo Chen to take too much risks. Should he find things beyond his ability to contend with, he should immediately use the Dimensional Teleportation Scroll and flee.

At that moment, even when Mo Sheng calls off the gambit battle, it will be too late.

“Yeah. ” Luo Chen nodded, a sharp glint flashed past his eyes.

Putting the Dimensional Teleportation Scroll away, Luo Chen lifted the Demonstone Engraving in one hand, and rose into the air as he darted towards Zhuo Gu.

Standing ten feet across from Zhuo Gu, Luo Chen said in a growl. “Emperor Ming’s Fourth Disciple, Luo Chen, answers your challenge.”

“So you are Zhang Ruochen’s senior brother. I hope you are not too weak, otherwise it will be too boring.” Zhuo Gu said with a faint smile.

Luo Chen entered the state of being one with the blade, and said with a cold tone. “You’ll find out soon enough.”

A majestic saint Qi surged and poured into the Hidden Moon Blade, activating this King’s Weapon.

“You have character, and I like belligerent foes like you.”

The Purple-Gold Demonic Spear in Zhuo Gu’s hand shuddered as a large amount of King’s Inscriptions appeared.

Without a doubt, the weapon in his hand was also a King’s Weapon.
