God Emperor

Chapter 2108: Darkness Descending

The man holding the silver mace was tall and burly. He was nearly 2.5 meters tall and had dark skin. He stood on the ground like an iron tower, blocking Zhang Ruochen’s path.

Boundless silver Blood Qi emanated from this man’s body. Filled with a wild aura, it condensed into the shape of a fierce tiger behind him. His blood-red eyes contained terrifying killing intent. It seemed like he would break free from the void at any moment.

Had it been anyone else, they would have collapsed to the ground in front of this burly man. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

A cold light flashed in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes, “You didn’t stop them when they attacked me. Now, you want me to let them go. Am I that easy to bully?”

As he spoke, Zhang Ruochen’s body shook. Strong five-colored saint light burst out from his body and created a hazy realm behind him. It was filled with a large amount of chaotic energy.

This was a phenomenon after the completion of the Five-element Chaotic Body. It had all sorts of miraculous uses.

As soon as this realm was formed, the space within hundreds of miles became completely sealed. The people inside were all greatly affected.

Just when Jinyang Twin Kings escaped a hundred miles away, they felt like they were stuck in the mud. Their movements became unusually slow.

As the burly man sensed that the space was locked down, a flash of anger appeared in his eyes. He said in a deep voice, “Zhang Ruochen, do you really want to fight with me?”

The burly man thought since he had already made an appearance, Zhang Ruochen should stop and let the Jinyang Twin Kings leave. This would be the best for everyone.

However, he did not expect Zhang Ruochen to be so ungrateful. He did not even give him face. This was outrageous.

“If you want to fight,” Zhang Ruochen replied aggressively, “I’ll play along.”

If the burly man wanted to use his power to suppress others, he had undoubtedly picked the wrong target. Zhang Ruochen had never been afraid of anyone.

The space rippled slightly, and Zhang Ruochen disappeared into thin air. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Jinyang Twin Kings.

Since he was the one who set up the Dimensional Lockdown, he wouldn’t be affected by it. Instead, he was more like a fish in water.

“Let’s fight it out with him.”

Jinyang Twin Kings joined hands together to shoot out the Golden Crow Ancient Cauldron.

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were cold. He reached out with one hand, and hundreds of thousands of Precepts of Dimension appeared. Like chains, they wrapped around the Golden Crow Ancient Cauldron and stopped it in mid-air.

Then, Zangshan Demonic Mirror flew out. It glowed and released a powerful suction force as if it were a black hole. It shrouded the Jinyang Twin Kings.

“Stop!”

Seeing this, the burly man couldn’t help but shout.

At the same time, he shook his hand and shot out the silver mace.

The silver mace shone with bright saint light. A large number of Supreme Inscriptions appeared, releasing an extremely menacing aura. It was like an awakening peerless beast.

As the menacing aura became stronger and stronger, the silver mace transformed into a silver-white tiger. It roared and pounced at Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen turned around suddenly and pressed his hand forward. The Great Power of Dimensions surged out of his body.

Boom.

The space within the radius of a few hundred meters shattered instantly and then disappeared. A pitch-black void space appeared as if it was going to swallow everything in the world.

The fierce silver tiger emitted a terrifying divine power, but it was still blocked by the power of the Dimensional Annihilation. It couldn’t get close to Zhang Ruochen.

With a slight delay, Jinyang Twin Kings were both sucked into Zangshan Demonic Mirror. They were hardly suppressed and couldn’t do anything else.

Without the control of Jinyang Twin Kings, the Golden Crow Ancient Cauldron fell silent. No matter how powerful it was, it was damaged now. The implement spirit was in a state of slumber. Even if it used its vital energy, it could only revive temporarily and would fall into a deeper sleep after that.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t look at the Golden Crow Ancient Cauldron. He waved his hand and suppressed it into the inner world of Zangshan Demonic Mirror to prevent any problems.

After doing all this, Zhang Ruochen looked at the burly man again. His eyes were calm and unperturbed.

Seeing Jinyang Twin Kings being suppressed, the burly man frowned. Since his debut, no one had ever dared to disrespect him like this.

The burly man couldn’t help but emit an even more ferocious aura. The ferocious tiger vision behind him became more and more solid. The terrifying aura caused the surrounding space to distort faintly.

“Minghu, let’s end it here.”

At this moment, there was a loud shout.

Ao Xukong walked out from the darkness with a grave expression. Majestic dragon’s aura soared into the sky, transforming into a golden divine dragon that soared into the nine heavens.

Seeing Ao Xukong, the burly man could not help but frown slightly. A hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

Zhang Ruochen withdrew his power at the right time and released the lockdown on the surrounding few hundreds of miles of space to let Ao Xukong come closer.

The burly man’s voice was slightly low, “Ao Xukong, are you trying to t to stop me?”

Ao Xukong nodded slightly at Zhang Ruochen. Then, he looked at the burly man and said, “Minghu, although Beidou Civilization belongs to the ancient civilizations, we also belong to the same side as the Celestial Court. We should be fighting against the the same enemy together, not fighting against each other here.”

“Jinyang Twin Kings knew that Zhang Ruochen was going to fight the Son of Darkness, but they still chose to attack him at this time, trying to drain Zhang Ruochen’s essence, Qi, and spirit. They were basically supporting the enemy, so they reap what they have sown.”

Upon hearing this, the Burly Man’s turned grim. Ao Xukong had already put it that way, so if he were to attack Zhang Ruochen again, it would probably lead to a terrible outcome.

Moreover, he could also tell that Ao Xukong wouldn’t just stand by and watch if he attacked.

Now that Jinyang Twin Kings had been subdued, there was no longer a need to fight with Ao Xukong.

The burly man looked deeply at Zhang Ruochen. “Don’t go too far,” he said icily. “Otherwise, it won’t end well.”

After saying this, the burly man put away the silver mace and left.

“Immortal Minghu is known for taking revenge even for the smallest grievance,” Ao Xukong reminded him seriously. “You have disgraced him this time, so you should be careful in the future.”

Zhang Ruochen nodded. “Thank you for your reminder, Brother Ao,” he said. ” Although I don’t like to cause trouble, I am also not a person who is afraid of trouble.”

“I believe that,” Ao Xukong said. “You must be careful when you fight with the Son of Darkness. There is a world of difference between him and Jinyang Twin Kings.”

Even though he could see that Zhang Ruochen’s current strength had probably reached the first tier below Supreme Sainthood, still he couldn’t be careless if he were to fight with the Son of Darkness in a life-and-death battle.

There was still a big difference in strength among those in the first tier below Supreme Sainthood. For example, Jingyang Twin Kings could be comparable to this level, but they were the weakest. That was why Zhang Ruochen could defeat them.

Ao Xukong didn’t stay for long. After saying those words, he didn’t disturb Zhang Ruochen anymore and retreated to a distance again.

Even though he could see that Zhang Ruochen’s current strength had probably reached the first tier below the Supreme-Saint realm, still he couldn’t be careless if he were to fight with the Son of Darkness in a life-and-death battle.

Zhang Ruochen returned to the top of the mountain of corpses.

On the other side, the burly man returned to Beidou Civilization camp. His facial expression was graver than ever.

Who was he? He was the second strongest person of Beidou Civilization, just under the Supreme-Saint level. He had received the title of Immortal Minghu and wielded the killing weapon—the White Tiger Mace. Who would possibly dare to defy his will?

In Beidou Civilization, ‘Immortal’ was a highly prestigious title. Only the ten strongest people below Supreme Sainthood could be awarded the title. Although they had yet to become Supreme Saints, their status was no lower than that of a Neverwither Supreme Saint. In fact, their status was even higher than that.

This was because the ten who could obtain the title of ‘Immortals’ had great potential. In the future, they could become a Supreme Saint or even a deity.

“You think you can do whatever you want just because you have some strength? You really don’t know how high the sky and how deep the earth is,” Terrifying coldness sparkled in Immortal Minghu’s eyes. “I’d like to see how you can defeat the Son of Darkness.”

In his opinion, even if Zhang Ruochen could suppress Jinyang Twin Kings, he still did not stand a chance of winning against the Son of Darkness. He was looking forward to seeing Zhang Ruochen lose miserably.

The powerhouses from different places who gathered there were shocked to see Zhang Ruochen easily defeat Jinyang Twin Kings. No one had expected that Zhang Ruochen’s strength had improved to such a high level in such a short time.

The Son of Darkness was indeed unfathomable, but Zhang Ruochen also gave people an unfathomable feeling. The battle between the two of them would undoubtedly be very exciting.

The powerhouses of the Thousand-Star Civilization gathered on a bleak mountain top. Almost all of them were surprised, especially the six Elders responsible for protecting the Maiden of a Thousand Stars. It was hard for them to calm down.

Not long ago, they had seen Zhang Ruochen and another three fighting with thousands of powerhouses of the Sunshine Civilization. At that time, Zhang Ruochen was not weak either, but compared to what he had become now, the gap was huge.

The Maiden of a Thousand Stars looked at Zhang Ruochen from afar with a smile in her eyes.

“Zhang Ruochen was cool-headed enough not to kill Jinyang Twin Kings,” She said softly. “Otherwise, things would be more troublesome than killing the Sunshine Tianzi.”

The identity of Jinyang Twin Kings was very special in Sunshine Civilization. They carried a huge secret, which was why Sunshine Civilization had spent so many resources cultivating them.

As long as they were not killed, there was room to mitigate the conflicts between Zhang Ruochen and Sunshine Civilization. Otherwise, they would have to fight to the death.

Not many people could bear the anger of an ancient civilization.

“Why hasn’t the Son of Darkness arrived yet? is he planning to avoid the fight?”

After waiting for a long time, the Son of Darkness was still nowhere to be seen. Many people could not help but feel impatient.

They had come to the ruins of the Dragon Temple to look for opportunities. No one wanted to waste their time here.

“Maybe the Son of Darkness doesn’t even want to fight Zhang Ruochen. He thinks the gap between them is too big.”

Suddenly, a voice filled with contempt sounded.

The voice seemed drifting from nowhere. No one could be sure who said it.

But anyone could tell that it was belittling Zhang Ruochen, with a hint of hostility. ????????????????????????????. ????om

Rumble.

At this moment, the earth suddenly shook violently, and everyone’s attention was diverted.

A majestic dark power emerged from the horizon. It was massive as if it would blanket all the light in the world.

“Is it the Son of Darkness?”

Many people widened their eyes as they stared at the surging dark energy.

As the darkness got closer and closer, three huge figures were faintly revealed. They were not beings with flesh and blood but three skeletons.

On the left was a skeletal dragon. Its bones were emerald in color. Although it was in the darkness, it was not tainted by it at all. Its body was emitting a very scared saint light.

On the right was a skeletal phoenix. Its body was wrapped in pitch-black flames. Every bone was as pitch-black as ink. It released an immensely intense dark power as if it were the source of the darkness.

In the middle was a human-shaped skeleton that was thirty meters tall. All the bones were dark gold in color. They seemed to be made of divine gold and were indestructible.

“It’s not the Son of Darkness. It’s the Three Emperors of the Bone Clan.”

Many people were shocked when they saw the three massive skeletons.

The Three Emperors of the Bone Clan were infamous in both the Infernal and Celestial Courts. They had once dominated the battlefields of many worlds. Countless powerhouses of the Celestial Court had died at their hands.

“Are the Three Emperors of the Bone Clan going to fight Zhang Ruochen in place of the Son of Darkness to the death?” Speculations rose within many cultivators.

Not many people were unafraid of the Three Emperors of the Bone Clan. Not only were they powerful, but they also had the Supreme Saint skeletons. Typical methods couldn’t hurt them at all.

When fighting, the Three Emperors of the Bone Clan would attack opponents crazily. They wouldn’t even defend themselves l. This was their innate advantage.

When they were 500 miles away from the mountain of corpses, the Three Emperors of the Bone Clan stopped. They didn’t move forward, nor did they have any intention of attacking Zhang Ruochen.

Following the Three Emperors of the Bone Clan, ten more powerful reverends of the Bone Clan rushed over. They were ten of the Twelve Reverends of the Bone Clan.

It wasn’t that the twelve reverends didn’t want to come, but the other two had already died at Blackie’s hands. Even the bones of these two Supreme Saints were completely shattered.

Not long after, the majestic power of darkness emerged from the horizon.

A huge Nether Lotus Flower floated in the darkness. Every petal was engraved with profound Nether inscriptions. There were also countless curse runes surrounding it, giving off a terrifying aura.

“Nether Hall’s Seven Top Killers.”

Upon seeing the Nether Lotus Flower, everyone immediately knew the identity of the newcomers.

Nether Hall’s Seven Top Killers controlled the mysterious Seven Killer formation, which could greatly increase one’s battle strength. If they joined forces, even Yan Wushen would have to avoid them. They were also not much weaker than the Four Heavenly Kings of the Celestial Palace.

Like the powerhouses of the Bone Clan, Nether Hall’s Seven Top Killers didn’t enter the 500-mile range around the mountain of corpses.

Seeing the powerhouses of the Bone Clan and the Nether Clan coming one after another, Ao Xukong’s eyes flashed. “The powerhouses of the Bone Clan and the Dark Clan are both here,” He whispered. “It seems that the Son of Darkness has arrived.”

The Three Emperors and Ten Reverends of the Bone Clan and the Nether Hall’s Seven Top Killers came one after another, but they stopped 500 miles away from the mountain of corpses. Obviously, they were here to support the Son of Darkness and not let anyone interfere with the final battle between him and Zhang Ruochen.

“Why is the sky getting darker and darker?” One of the powerhouses looked surprised.

For some reason, the entire world began to turn dark. In a moment, it was completely engulfed in darkness.

This kind of darkness was very unusual. It seemed to swallow everything. It caused people to tremble and their blood freeze.

Even the powerhouses of the Saint-King realm couldn’t help but feel their hairs stand on end. They felt a strange power trying to pull their souls out of their bodies.

Whoosh.

On the mountain of corpses, Zhang Ruochen suddenly opened his eyes and looked straight ahead.

The world had apparently fallen into darkness, but his eyes could still see a demon-like figure clearly. It had completely merged with the darkness. Like an emissary of darkness, it was walking step by step from the horizon.
