God Emperor

Chapter 2077: Silver Dragon Island

“What a powerful dimensional technique—it cut open the void! He deserves to be Saint Monk Xumi’s successor.”

There was a surprised look in Dazun’s eyes when he saw Zhang Ruochen break free from the Dark Dungeon.

“I have said long ago that with Zhang Ruochen’s ability, those Seven top Killers of the Nether Fane couldn’t defeat him easily,” the Maiden of a Thousand Stars said with a smile.

Apparently, she was delighted with the outcome.

“He might have escaped this time, but the Seven Top Killers have been targeting him. He will not be so lucky next time if he doesn’t leave the Ying Yang Sea,” said Sunshine Tianzi in a nonchalant tone of voice.

“It is nonetheless a good thing for Zhang Ruochen getting the Seven Top Killers’ attention. It would be even better for us if there are a few more people from the Kunlun Realm joining the party to bog down the Infernal Court,” said a tianzi from an ancient civilization.

He was none other than Tianzi from the Beidou Civilization. He was wearing a black costume, his face stern with a dreadful killer look in his eyes. The mark of the Big Dipper was emitting dots of pulsing light on his forehead. He looked as if he had gone through all the vicissitudes of ancient times.

“The Kunlun realm is too weak. Other than Zhang Ruochen, the others are just a bunch of mediocre cultivators. They will not make any impact, even if they all gather in the Ying Yang Sea,” said Dazun with a frown.

“I don’t think so. The Kunlun Realm is not as simple as you think. I’m sure that Zhang Ruochen is not alone here in the Yin Yang Sea this time. The Infernal Court could foul things up if they are not careful,” the Maiden of a Thousand Stars said with a meaningful look.

Unlike Sunshine Tianzi and the others, the Maiden of a Thousand Stars had arrived in the Kunlun Realm a long time ago. She had seen and heard enough, and because of this, she had never underestimated the Kunlun Realm.

“In any case, we have to go to True Dragon Island as soon as possible. The Infernal Court is coming with overwhelming force this time. They have brought many elites of the Nether Clan and Bone Clan. It seems that even the Son of Darkness is also here,” said Beiduo Tianzi.

“The Son of Darkness?”

Everyone’s expression changed upon hearing the name.

The Son of Darkness was the leader of the Fane of Darkness, the master of Path of Darkness, and known as the most outstanding successor to the helm of the Fane of Darkness for the past 100,000 years.

Legend has it that the Son of Darkness accidentally entered an extremely scary secret place. He not only survived but also, by serendipity, fully developed his body of darkness, which was infused with an exotic dark matter that could erode everything by serendipity.

The Son of Darkness had been living a seemingly mysterious, reclusive life for a long time

“It seems that it’s not easy to get the Key to the World Gate. Sister Linglong, when will your big brother arrive?” The Maiden of a Thousand Stars turned to look at Fairy Linglong.

“He is practicing self-cultivation in the ancestral land. But Lord Ancestor has let him out. He will be here soon,” said Fairy Linglong.

Sunshine Tianzi and others spontaneously breathed a sigh of relief—with the help of Fairy Linglong’s eldest brother, they need not have to fear the Son of Darkness anymore.

Swish!

Ripples appeared on the sea as huge battleships emerged from the black fog.

The four warships were different from those of the Thousand-Star Civilization, but they were equally massive with each warship jam-packed with Saint-King cultivators.

The four ancient civilizations and the Celestial Dragon Realm had come prepared, each dispatching a powerful army of Saint Kings as they were determined to take the Key to the World Gate.

...

After going for tens of thousands of miles, Zhang Ruochen stopped when he saw that Never Die and his mates had not caught up with him.

With the wave of his hand, the black battleship appeared on the sea.

It surprised him that the lady in purple from the Three-Eyed Ancients was also on board.

“Why are you following us?” A hint of displeasure flashed in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes.

When he brutally fought Never Die and his mates earlier, he could have hammered the trio had this lady in purple given him a hand. But she just watched on the sidelines.

So there was no wonder Zhang Ruochen did not like her at all.

The lady in purple had sensed his displeasure, too. “The sea around True Dragon Island is special. It is difficult to get to the island without someone leading the way. I’m afraid that Princess Shenlong’s hands are full right now, and I am the only one who could bring you there.”

At the same time, through telepathy, Blackie told Zhang Ruochen everything that the lady in purple said earlier.

His heart skipped a beat upon hearing what Blackie said. He did not know that the situation in the Yin Yang Sea had been so critical.

“What is the Key to the World Gate, really? Why does the Infernal Court mobilize their entire army just to get their hands on it?” asked Zhang Ruochen with a serious expression.

It was absolutely necessary to clarify something before he set out to thwart the plan of the Infernal Court.

Blackie’s expression turned grave. “If the Key to the World Gate is really on True Dragon Island, Ao Xinyan should know better. It was probably because of this that she had sent you a message asking for help. So we had better meet Ao Xinyan first.”

Ao Xinyan, as Princess Shenlong, definitely knew the many secrets in the Ying Yang Sea. Instead of continuing to make wild guesses, it would be better to ask Ao Xinyan.

“Let’s go before things become more complicated,” said Zhang Ruochen calmly.

The lad in purple quickly set the direction and steered the black battleship forward at full speed.

This battleship of the Infernal Court was highly advanced. It was the best transport and could cut out a lot of trouble sailing in the Ying Yang Sea.

As the black battleship moved forward, Zhang Ruochen sat down on the deck spontaneously and performed an Empyrean Emperor Ming’s Scripture to restore his Saint Qi.

The situation in the Yin Yang Sea was extremely perilous. Encounter with enemies was possible at any time. He had to keep himself in the best condition at all times.

After a brutal battle with Never Die and his mates, he suddenly realized something, which he needed some time to digest.

The Joint-Attack Array of the Seven Top Killers of the Nether Fane was strange and unpredictable. He needed to study it carefully. Even if he could find no flaws with it, he could make himself more familiar with it, and this would help in future encounters.

Zhang Ruochen had been to Yin Yang Sea once, but he knew little about it. After all, he was on an ancient ship of the dead souls and the sailing route was fixed.

In fact, there were many islands in the Yin Yang Sea, and each island was extraordinary. They were rich in various treasures, many of which were rare in the outside world.

Since the forbidden array of the Yin Yang Sea had been set in place, accessing all those islands had been difficult.

Zhang Ruochen was not in the mood to explore these islands in time like this. He just wanted to see Ao Xinyan as soon as possible and figure out everything.

The black battleship was sailing fast. It did not take too long to sail across the vast sea.

“Here we are.”

The lady in purple stopped the black battleship.

Blackie looked around in puzzlement. “Where are we? There is nothing here.”

Zhang Ruochen opened his eyes and stood up from the deck. A strange light flashed in his eyes as he said, “What a mysterious folded dimension. This must be a holy land of awakening in the Yin Yang Sea.”

Had his dimensional attainment not been tremendously improved, he would not have discovered the existence of this folded dimension.

Faint ripples appeared in the dimension up ahead as a graceful figure wearing silver armor appeared.

Zhang Ruochen could not have been more familiar with this figure; she was Ao Xinyan.

It had been a few years since they last met. Ao Xinyan was more beautiful than ever. She had a noble aura that came out of her naturally and made her look unapproachable.

More importantly, she had that killer look in her eyes. Draping in divine-dragon silver armor, she was as heroic as a goddess of war.

There was a surprised look in Ao Xinyan’s eyes when she saw Zhang Ruochen. She moved in a flash and came on board the battleship in an instant.

“Captain, why didn’t you tell me you would come to the Ying Yang Sea?” ????????????r????????????. ????om

“My pleasure to meet you, Princess Shenlong.” The lady in purple cupped her hands as a sign of respect.

“Saint King Zixin, congratulations on your successful retrieval of the sacred artifacts of the Three-Eyed Ancient clan,” said Ao Xinyan with a smile.

A rare faint smile broke out on the icy face of the lady in purple. Obviously, she was thrilled to recover the Three-Leaf Nine-Life Flower.

“Something popped up just when I arrived at the Yin Yang Sea. With Saint King Zixin showing me the way, I didn’t inform you about it. Besides, I guess you must have been busy recently,” said Zhang Ruochen.

“This is not the place to talk. Please come in and we shall talk later,” said Ao Xinyan.

Ripples appeared again in the dimension up ahead. They matched with the sea waves as the black battleship sailed forward and disappeared into the rippling dimension.

The surroundings underwent a tremendous change in the blink of an eye.

While the battleship was still on the surface of the sea, the fog and the chilling air around the battleship had disappeared, and visibility was excellent.

A vast land with no edges in sight appeared up ahead.

The land was lush and green as towering trees, whose age no one knew, covered the island. It gave people the feeling that they had come to a wild world.

“Is this True Dragon Island?” asked Zhang Ruochen.

Ao Xinyan shook her head. “No, this is Silver Dragon Island, one of the Divine Dragons’ habitats. I believe you have explored it with your spiritual power, Captain. Silver Dragon Island is as vast as several million miles in diameter. It is a sacred, fertile land. Golden Dragon Island and True Dragon Island are comparable to Silver Dragon Island. While they are called islands, calling them continents would be more appropriate. The Divine Dragon Halfling Clan’s ancestor is a Pentaclaw Silver Dragon, so he has put us all on Silver Dragon Island.”

There were many branches of the Divine Dragons, among which the two most dominant branches were the Pentaclaw Golden Dragon and the Pentaclaw Silver Dragon. They were extremely powerful in every respect.

For this reason, among the many islands in the Yin Yang Sea, the islands where the Pentaclaw Golden Dragon and the Pentaclaw Silver Dragon inhabited, together with True Dragon Island, were the most special, as they were all the holy land of the Divine Dragons.

Zhang Ruochen’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing that. The islands where the Divine Dragons lived in the past were huge; they were not really islands, per se.

Only the Yin Yang Sea could accommodate so many massive islands.

“You asked me to come to Yin Yang Sea. What do you want me to do for you?” asked Zhang Ruochen bluntly.

Ao Xinyan’s expression turned serious in an instant. “A major event is about to happen in the Ying Yang Sea. It concerns the survival of the Kunlun Realm. That’s why I have to ask you for your help.”

“Is it about the Key to the World Gate?” asked Zhang Ruochen.

Ao Xinyan looked surprised at first, and then she nodded. “Yup. I didn’t know that you already knew.”

“What exactly is the Key to the World Gate? Why is the Infernal Court so crazy about it?” Zhang Ruochen was very puzzled.

So far, he still knew nothing about the Key to the World Gate.

Anyone would feel curious about that unknown thing that drove the Infernal Court crazy.

Blackie chimed in before Ao Xinyan could answer. “Is the Key of the World Gate really on True Dragon Island?”

“Yes, Master handed down his oracle. He told me the secret of the Key to the World Gate and wanted me to keep it safe,” said Ao Xinyan.

“The oracle? Is it the master you are talking about...” Blackie had thought of a taboo figure from the Divine Dragons. Who else could manifest the oracle beside him? “Where is your master? The Infernal Court is overrunning the Yin Yang Sea now. Yet he doesn’t even care about it.”

With the ability of that taboo figure, and if he wanted, he could have easily stopped the army of the Infernal Court from entering the Ying Yang Sea.

“Recently, Master left the Yin Yang Sea. He could have gone to the Celestial Dragon Realm. It is just that I don’t know when he will return. Besides, even if he did not leave, I am afraid he couldn’t intervene, anyway. If the Infernal Court knows he is still alive, they would become even more brutal in their attack.”

Blackie suddenly put two and two together. No wonder so many things happened. It turned out that it was because that taboo character was not in Yin Yang Sea.

Had he been here, he could have kept the army of the Infernal Court out of the Ying Yang Sea with various means, even if he did not intervene in person.

Woom!

Just then, there was a violent vibration in the dimension outside the island. A figure passed through the folded dimension and appeared on this hidden sea.

It was an old monk. He appeared avuncular, dressed in a monk’s robe. A faint Buddha glow emanated from him, making him look like a Bodhisattva walking between heaven and earth.

“Patriarch Dead Zen?” Zhang Ruochen cocked an eyebrow, feeling a little surprised.

But then he quickly recalled something. Saint King Zixin once said that Ao Xinyan had invited several top cultivators from the Kunlun Realm to the Yin Yang Sea.

Top cultivators at the pinnacle of self-cultivation were rare, and Patriarch Dead Zen was one of the few.

Zhang Ruochen could sense that the cultivation base of Patriarch Dead Zen had improved tremendously compared to many years ago.

At this moment, the energy of Patriarch Dad Zen was irregular. He looked as if he had been in the wars and lost it.

Patriarch Dead Zen came on board the battleship in the blink of an eye and stood in front of Zhang Ruochen with a smile. “We meet again, Mister Zhang.”

“Hey, Bald Donkey. Who bullied you?” Blackie smirked.

Patriarch Dead Zen shot a glance at Blackie. “While I was checking around True Dragon Island just now, I bumped into four of the Seven Top Killers of the Nether Fane. They were really powerful when they joined hands. I was almost trapped.”

“What a coincidence! We also met the Seven Top Killers of the Nether Fane—just that there were only three of them,” said Blackie with a strange expression.

Saint King Zixin’s heart skipped a beat. She could not help but take a good look at Patriarch Dead Zen. It surprised her that this old monk could fight four of the Nether Fane’s Seven Top Killers single-handedly. He might not have won, but at least he had shown his capability.

Zhang Ruochen nodded quietly. As the most outstanding disciple of the Path of a Thousand Buddhas in the past, Patriarch Dead Zen had created Death Zen Dharma. There was a question about his strength. He was also the best of the best in terms of creativity and talent.

Before the Kunlun Realm recovered, Patriarch Dead Zen was already a top non-Supreme Saint cultivator, who used Dead Zen Dharma to subdue the divine corpse, and fought against Shi Qianjue, who was a Supreme Saint.

Many years had passed since then, and Patriarch Dead Zen’s cultivation base must have reached another higher level.

Zhang Ruochen was surprised that Ao Xinyan asked Patriarch Dead Zen for help because Patriarch Dead Zen was known as a fractious, wicked character.

He wondered who else Ao Xinyan had invited other than him and Patriarch Dead Zen.New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on ɴovelFɪre.net
