God Emperor

Chapter 2076: Dimensional Rift

Affected by the aftermath of the battle, the sea billowed with stormy waves. Winds of extremely low temperature blew, and ice crystals formed in mid-air.

Zhang Ruochen released a powerful spiritual power and controlled the Ancient Abyssal Blade to parry Night Sorrow’s spear with just his thought.

At the same time, he clenched his hands into fists. Summoning all the Precepts of the Fist and with the help of various Precepts of water-attribute, he performed a Luoshui Fist Technique.

Swoosh!

Massive waves rose into the sky and formed a Celestial River around Zhang Ruochen. It was as agile as if it was a living thing.

Performing the Luoshui Fist Technique with the help of water-attribute energy in the Yin Yang Sea could boost his power severalfold.

The tremor of the Celestial River dissipated the poison released by Bloody Ripples so that it could not get close, let alone penetrate Zhang Ruochen’s body.

Meanwhile, the Celestial River was also blocking off the four sabers of Never Die.

As powerful and unpredictable as Never Die’s saber technique was, it was difficult to stop the Celestial River.

Seeing Zhang Ruochen and the three Top Killers in a brutal battle, Blackie spontaneously maneuvered the black battleship, steering it back to keep a distance from the battlefield.

“Absolutely mighty!”

The Heaven-devourer Dragon was shocked, its body trembling involuntarily.

Using the various resources of Mount Zulong, the Heaven-devourer Dragon had rapidly improved in its self-cultivation. It had attained Eight-Step Saint Kinghood, and its strength was comparable to that of a Nine-Step Saint King when it wielded the Zulong Scale.

With such strength, the Heaven-devourer Dragon thought it was strong enough to rank among the top powerhouses.

However, it clearly felt its inadequacy now. There was a huge gap between it and the top powerhouses. It was not in the same league as them.

“Only if I could have such strength, Mount Zulong would not have...”

The Heaven-devourer Dragon clenched its fists spontaneously. It was craving for strength.

Blackie turned his head around and glanced at the woman in purple who hid in the dark. “Are you just going to watch? You are the wimpiest Three-Eyed Ancient I have ever met. What is going on with Re-Awakeners like you? You merely watch the Infernal Court invade the Yin Yang Sea and remain indifferent? If so, you might as well continue to hibernate.”

Blackie despised the Re-Awakener’s inaction, and he felt angry.

In other places, the Re-Awakeners had no choice but to hide, and that was completely understandable. But this was the Yin-Yang Sea, a forbidden place in the Kunlun Realm. Who could discover their existence?

Confronted by Blackie, the lady in purple responded in a low voice, “It’s not that I don’t want to do anything. It’s just that I can’t.”

“Why?” Blackie was puzzled.

The lady in purple remained silent for a while, and then she spoke again. “It was a god of the Infernal Court who opened the dimensional rift near the Yin Yang Sea. But he was not alone. A few other gods have been propping up the dimensional rift with divine power. Correspondingly, their divine spirits have also penetrated the Kunlun Realm. They can’t do anything, but what happens in the Ying Yang Sea can’t escape their eyes. Once we, the Re-Awakeners intervene, they will immediately spot us. No one can predict what the consequences will be once we are exposed. It could mean a catastrophe for the Kunlun Realm.”

It startled Blackie to hear that. He did not know there was such a story behind this.

Xue Lingxian’s intervention earlier had already attracted the attention of the Celestial Court and Infernal Court, which had dispatched their Emissaries Vigilant to investigate.

If these Re-Awakeners in the Yin Yang Sea were also exposed, the Celestial Court and Infernal Court would not sit idly by. They would surely do something. The situation in the Kunlun Realm would only get from bad to worse, and more crises would follow.

Who knew this action of the Infernal Court was a test?

Blackie’s heart skipped a beat after he heard that. The more Blackie thought about it, the scarier things became.

“In fact, since the Kunlun Realm became a Battlefield of Merits, the Infernal Court has continuously sent their cultivators into the Yin Yang Sea. Princess Shenlong has been the only one fighting the invasion, while Re-Awakeners like us are helping her secretly. But this time around, the Infernal Court has come with overwhelming force. The Yin Yang Sea’s forbidden formation has failed to stop them, and we can’t intervene either. Princess Shenlong has no choice but to ask the powerhouses in the Kunlun Realm for help,” said the lady in purple through telepathy.

She was as helpless as she was anxious upon seeing the tension in the Yin Yang Sea.

As a Re-Awakener, she had too many constraints. It was impossible to do whatever she wanted.

Blackie fell into silence. It would be strange if the Infernal Court did not go after the Key to the World Gate.

“Eat this one more time—knowing fall by a leaf; everything withers.”

Never Die rushed to the front as his silence-filled World of Saber Will appeared to engulf Zhang Ruochen.

From the very beginning of the battle, Never Die had been on the battlefront. He possessed extremely powerful close-quarter combat capability. A single move of his saber could easily kill an ordinary Nine-Step Saint King.

A light suddenly flashed in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes. As he swung the Ancient Abyssal Blade in a strange move, the power of time and space emerged. A river of time appeared in the void, flowing slowly, without a beginning and an end.

Faint ripples then materialized in the space within a radius of hundreds of meters. A mysterious field of Sword Will formed and engulfed Never Die, Night Sorrow, and Bloody Ripples.

A crystal-clear flower took form as a result. It was the combination of the Sword Will of Time and Space that Zhang Ruochen had comprehended.

“Will Blooming,” Zhang Ruochen whispered. His voice was extremely flat without the slightest emotion.

With the churn of his thought, the peculiar flower slowly bloomed. It looked so beautiful. An invisible power of time surged, wanting to annihilate everything inside.

Woom!

Never Die’s World of Saber Will collapsed and vanished.

At the same time, the poisonous fog released by the Bloody Ripples was also broken up and quickly dissipated.

Sensing the deadly Sword Will, Never Die, and his mates reacted at once. They released purer dark energy to form a Dark Field that distorted the dimension.

Zhang Ruochen was performing his Sword Will of Time and Space at full strength. Even the Dark Field of the three could not stop it. The sword would tear it apart at once.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the three of them were on the defensive, Zhang Ruochen formed a Sword Soul and approached Bloody Ripples with the Ancient Abyssal Blade in hand.

Bloody Ripples was the weakest among the three, so she would be an easy target.

The Sword Soul instantly captured a large number of Marks of Time. Then, the river of time’s shadow appeared and engulfed Bloody Ripples.

With the Precepts of Time reaching 210,000 in number, Zhang Ruochen’s comprehension of the Sword of Time had gone to the next level. He could perform a Null Time Domain effortlessly.

A bright moon appeared in the Null Time Domain, showing various states such as cloudy, sunny, round, and imperfection.

“Moonlight Melody!”

Time and space within a radius of several dozen yards from Bloody Ripples seemed to have come to a standstill.

Boom!

The Dark Field could not stop the Sword of Time’s attack, and Bloody Ripples’ body exploded in an instant.

“Huh?”

Zhang Ruochen frowned instead of being delighted.

He looked in the other direction and saw Bloody Ripples reappear. She was unscathed.

“The Sword of Time really deserves its reputation,” said Bloody Ripples with a bitter expression.

It was a close call just now. If not for the mystery of the Joint-Attack Array, she would have paid a great price even if she could withstand Zhang Ruochen’s Sword of Time.

Even so, the Sword of Time had still shaved decades of life off Bloody Ripples.

“What a strange Joint-Attack Array. It could teleport her in an instant. No wonder the Seven Top Killers could survive through all the battles, no matter how strong their opponents were.” Zhang Ruochen could not help but think to himself as he shot a glance at Bloody Ripples.

He could not cripple her despite that fantastic opportunity just now. It would only get more difficult, as they would be more alert from now on.

“It seems that we three together can’t even defeat Zhang Ruochen. This Scion of Time and Space has improved rapidly. We have to get rid of him as fast as possible,” said Never Die telepathically.

“Zhang Ruochen is our greatest threat. If we let him be, he would definitely ruin our plan this time. I have contacted our elder brothers through a secret method. We just need to pin Zhang Ruochen down while we wait for their arrival,” whispered Night Sorrow.

“He shaved off decades of my life. I swear I will swallow all of his vitality.” A killer look flashed in the eyes of Bloody Ripples.

It was apparent that the three of them were insufficient to do anything about Zhang Ruochen. But as soon as the other four brothers of the Seven Top Killers arrived, Zhang Ruochen would not be able to get away no matter how great his abilities were.

After a brief discussion, the trio decided to change their formation, with each of them taking a position to encircle Zhang Ruochen.

“Huh?”

Zhang Ruochen’s expression changed as he was about to lunge out.

Swish!

The scorpion tail flung out behind Bloody Ripples, instantly splitting into nine, blocking all of Zhang Ruochen’s escape routes.

Never Die also cast out four seemingly substantive Worlds of Saber Will in all directions.

Meanwhile, Night Sorrow took charge of the formation. His powerful dark power gushed out of the Nether Lotus Flower that connected three of their powers and rapidly spread everywhere.

Amid the power of darkness, thick and powerful Precepts that looked like intertwining chains appeared from the dark power.

A dark cage formed and trapped Zhang Ruochen in it in the blink of an eye.

“You should be proud that we have to use Dark Dungeon on you, Zhang Ruochen,” sneered Never Die. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by ɴovelFɪre.net

The three of them joined hands to perform a Dark Dungeon. That would trap Zhang Ruochen for the moment, and everything would be okay.

Next, they only needed to wait for the other four of the Seven Top Killers to arrive.

...

Fifty thousand miles away, on the huge warship of the Thousand-Star Civilization, Maiden of a Thousand Stars and others were watching the brutal battle that was going on tens of thousands of miles away.

“Zhang Ruochen is trapped by Dark Dungeon. He is done for this time. It is a shame that he is still not a fully-grown Scion of Time and Space.” Sunshine Tianzi shook his head slightly.

Standing next to Sunshine Tianzi was an eighty-one-meter-tall golden giant. He was none other than Dazun, the tianzi of the Giant Spirit Civilization.

Zhang Ruochen had crossed paths with him on the Divinity Bestowment Altar last time.

Dazun could not help but sigh upon seeing Zhang Ruochen trapped by Dark Dungeon. “Unfortunately, our mission coming to the Yin Yang Sea this time is to fight the Infernal Court and get the Key to the World Gate. We can’t help Zhang Ruochen as that would expose us.”

“We had better not do anything stupid. Our mole in the Infernal Court has found out their plot. We must not screw up,” said someone in a low voice.

The eyes of Maiden of a Thousand Stars were locked on Dark Dungeon. But there was a smile on her face. “You two have underestimated Zhang Ruochen. He is the master of time and space. Do you really think Dark Dungeon could defeat his dimensional techniques? Let’s wait and see.”

“As the successor to Saint Monk Xumi, Zhang Ruochen will not die just like that,” said Fairy Linglong.

Sunshine Tianzi’s expression changed slightly. He did not know that Maiden of a Thousand Stars and Fairy Linglong were so confident of Zhang Ruochen’s ability. Probably, they would realize that the so-called Scion of Time and Space was not what they thought to be when the Seven Top Killers killed him.

...

Zhang Ruochen’s heart skipped a beat as he had read the minds of Never Die and his mates.

He knew very well that once the Seven Top Killers gathered, he would be as good as dead. After all, these three Top Killers were powerful enough.

How powerful would the Seven Top Killers be when they came together?

He figured he had better leave now.

“Dark Dungeon formed by the three of them is really unshakable. Ordinary attacks may not work. I would have to perform my latest dimensional technique.”

Zhang Ruochen whispered to himself and instantly mobilized all the 280,000 Precepts of Dimension in his body.

280,000 Precepts of Dimension, tightly bound together in a special way, gathered in his left hand.

A powerful dimensional force was released, compressed, and formed into a razor-sharp edge.

This razor-sharp edge seemed unstable, as if it might collapse at any time.

He carefully controlled this edge, focusing his essence, energy, and spirit to the extreme.

“Dimensional Slash!”

He shouted quietly, striking out his left hand like a knife.

A silvery white, deadly edge slashed out. It was unstoppable, appearing like a light that cut through the darkness.

Woom!

The dimension, along with Dark Dungeon, split open in an instant, revealing an endless dark void inside.

This move, seemingly similar to Dimensional Rift, was more powerful. It could cut open dimensions and reach into the void space. Its penetrating power was extremely horrifying.

Zhang Ruochen could barely pull off this move even with his current cultivation base in Dimensional techniques.

He immediately slipped out of Dark Dungeon through the gap.

Before Never Die and his mates knew what happened, he put away the dark battleship, performed a Dimensional Shift, and vanished.

Everything just happened in a blink of an eye, so that Never Die and his mates had no time to stop him.

“He could break Dark Dungeon in an instant. We all underestimated him.”

Never Die’s face turned grave.

Zhang Ruochen was the first person who could break free from Dark Dungeon so easily.

“Zhang Ruochen has already mastered the Path of Dimension to an exceedingly high level. We can’t do anything about it if he is serious about leaving. Unfortunately, a powerhouse such as Zhang Ruochen will invariably change the entire situation in the Ying Yang Sea,” said Night Sorrow with a frown.

“Zhang Ruochen killed many of our men and took several dragons with extremely powerful bloodlines. Damn it! I will make him pay a heavy price if he comes again.” There was a deadly look in the eyes of Bloody Ripples.
