God Emperor

Chapter 1846: Spellbreaker

Once every one hundred years, the Fane of Bloody War would select ten best fighters and nurture them into Scarlet Angels.

Scarlet Angels cultivated the Blood Valiant War Portrait, the greatest fighting technique of the Fane of Bloody War that was listed in the Taiyi Divine Techniques Rank. Anyone who cultivated this technique would have their combat strength surpassing the other cultivators of the same realm.

Besides, the Scarlet Angels of the Fane of Bloody War had an opportunity to cultivate in the Celestial Domain of Truth and gain insight into the Precepts of Truth.

It was exactly the reason Tian Chen was still more powerful than many cultivators of Precept Domain despite not cultivating Precept Domain himself.

Due to the deep hatred between the Fane of Bloody War and Zhang Ruochen, Tian Chen could not wait to kill Zhang Ruochen the moment they met.

Tian Chen spread out his four vampire wings as if four blood clouds that blocked off heaven and earth.

He flapped the vampire wings, lifting off into the clouds to attack Zhang Ruochen standing on top of the Tower of Flames.

All the cultivators from the Golden Rainbow Continent could sense the Saintly might of Tian Chen. The cultivators from the Kunlun Realm were worried about Zhang Ruochen, despite knowing that he had mastered the ancient inscriptions.

After all, only a small part of the ancient inscriptions had been activated; Zhang Ruochen might not be invincible.

Did those foreign cultivators not defeat the Nine Stratum Array of the palace of the Eastern Region?

Seeing the four blood clouds approaching from below, Zhang Ruochen looked at King Daxi. “With my current cultivation base, I am indeed no match for a figure like Tian Chen. But you can, right?”

King Daxi’s beautiful almond eyes looked coldly at Zhang Ruochen.

She knew he wanted to use her to defeat Tian Chen. If she used the ancient inscription to kill Tian Chen, it would be a road of no return for her because the Heavenly Realm and the Fane of Bloody War would definitely hunt her down.

Tian Chen was not a character like Hua Cangying.

If he dies, the Fane of Bloody War will want my head on a platter.

Yet, Zhang Ruochen merely looked her in the eye. “Tian Chen is about to breach the ancient inscription. What are you waiting for?”

King Daxi stared at Zhang Ruochen for a long while, then finally performed her spiritual power to operate the Divine-Core Pearl.

“Spellbreaker!”

Tian Chen formed a finger seal with his hands, then a Shenwu Mark of Time and Dimension appeared and rapidly spun on his forehead.

Shooting out of his forehead was a streak of blood-red light.

There were dozens of types of precept tangling together in the blood-red light, puncturing the ancient inscriptions one layer after another.

“Not good! Spellbreaker is a powerful intermediate Saint Technique in the Blood Valiant War Portrait. The ancient inscription of the Eastern Region Holy City may have problems stopping it. Should we give Zhang Ruochen a hand, Maiden?”

Most cultivators could only use a single precept in their intermediate Saint Technique.

For example, an intermediate Saint Palm Technique could only combine with the precepts of the palm to produce an ideal increase in strength.

The more precepts of the palm were infused, the more powerful the Saint Technique.

However, Spellbreaker could infuse multiple precepts, and the level of power it produced far surpassed other intermediate Saint Techniques.

The Fairy of Tianchu shook her head slightly. “Some deity must have left behind this ancient inscription of Eastern Region Holy City. Only a part of it has been activated, but it is not what Tian Chen could defeat. What makes me curious is, with the spiritual-power strength of Zhang Ruochen, he couldn’t have activated the tower. Who is he getting help from?”

The Fairy of Chutian would never have thought it was King Daxi who helped Zhang Ruochen against people from the Heavenly Realm.

If the cultivators from the Heavenly Realm saw this, they would go bananas.

In the clouds, an astral vortex was building up to an even more massive scale than last time.

The blood-red lights from the astral vortex and Tian Chen’s forehead collided in a loud rumble, the entire sky turning red.

The astral vortex had stopped Spellbreaker and was pressing down slowly.

“I can’t believe this!”

The expression on Tian Chen’s face turned grave, knowing that he mostly could not defeat the ancient inscription with him alone. He quickly contacted the other two Precept Domain-class fighters through telepathy. “Let’s join hands to defeat the ancient inscription. We could only control Eastern Region Holy City if we control that tower.”

The other two Precept Domain-class fighters came out of their stealthy state from the void.

One of them had hundreds of white chains floating around him, forming into a giant sphere of ten thousand feet across. He stood in the middle of the sphere, wearing fine clothes with an extraordinarily polished look.

However, due to his position inside the sphere, no one at the scene could see his face clearly.

The other fighter had a relatively weaker sense of presence. He stood on the ground with a demonic air on his body. He had five white tails floating in the demonic air.

“They are Jueyan Hu from the Shengze Realm and Si Han from the Soul Realm,” said King Daxi before Zhang Ruochen asked this time.

“Soul Realm?”

King Daxi was the pride of the Soul Realm. She was a new-generation leader.

Si Han, however, was not of the new-generation cultivator. He was much more senior than King Daxi.

“Si Han and I are from the Soul Realm, but we don’t really know each other. I guess you don’t know every single cultivator from the Kunlun and Guanghan Realms, do you?” King Daxi tried to ease Zhang Ruochen’s suspicion.

“Perish the thought of getting away.” Zhang Ruochen did not answer her directly.

While he spoke, he put his hand on King Daxi’s shoulder, sending fiery Saint Qi into her body to infiltrate her Saint Veins and Meridians.

That fiery Saint Qi was Divine Purification Flame, which he cultivated by combining the power of the Fire God’s Gauntlet and the crimson inscription of Yanshen’s Leg.

The flaming Saint Qi turned into tiny winged flaming bugs that were as small as light particles, and they resided in King Daxi’s various Saint Veins and Meridians.

The flaming bugs had even entered her Sea of Qi and Saint Heart through her Saint Meridians and Veins. That way, Zhang Ruochen could burn her to ashes with just the will of his mind.

Even if she escaped and tried to get rid of the flaming bugs inside her, the flaming bugs would attack her from the inside and wipe out all her cultivation base the moment she tried to do that.

“You-You are horrible, Zhang Ruochen!” King Daxi was shivering slightly.

“Horrible? Wasn’t it horrible when you used Qing Jin’s Saint Soul to possess my body?”

At first, King Daxi was still thinking about pushing her luck; if she yielded to his demand temporarily, she might find a chance to escape later or even kill him when he let down his guard.

However, Zhang Ruochen was too careful. She did not get the chance. Instead, she was falling into his trap.

This man was definitely Shang Ziyan’s formidable foe. For the first time, she felt that the biggest mistake she ever made was previously underestimating Zhang Ruochen.

...

On the sea.

Mr. Godcliff’s expression did not look too good. In fact, he was furious.

At first, he thought with the skills of an array master and the help from Canghai, Jueyan Hu, and the others, taking Eastern Region Holy City would just be a piece of cake.

But in reality, things had not been going as he had wished.

Jiang Yunchong laughed. “It looks like the person who controls the ancient inscription is a cultivator from our Kunlun Realm. Why don’t you join the Kunlun Realm and you may live, who knows?”

Mr. Godcliff hissed. “In the principal city of the Eastern Region palace, there are three elite fighters whose strength rivaled that of the Precept Domain-class cultivators. If Zhang Ruochen wants to get to me, he will have to go through them first, and all of you will be dead before that.”

Mr. Godcliff knew how powerful the ancient inscription was. Tian Chen, Si Han, and Jueyan Hu could only hold Zhang Ruochen back for just a while. He was the only one who could rival the ancient inscription.

So he must get rid of Jiang Yunchong and Murong Yefeng as quickly as possible.

A battle broke out on the sea once again. It was even more brutal than last time, and beneath them, the sea rose as great mountains.

Above the principal city of Eastern Region palace, the ancient inscription formed a dense web of sword qi in the air to attack Tian Chen, Si Han, and Jueyan Hu.

The Sword Qi was so sharp that one of Jueyan Hu’s tails was cut off when coming into contact, and he bled profusely.

Tian Chen was wearing a divine legacy, ancient artifact-class blood armor. He broke through the sword qi and quickly approached Zhang Ruochen above the clouds. That blood armor, once fully activated, seemed to increase his combat strength by multiple folds.

“The ancient inscription won’t stop me, Zhang Ruochen. Be prepared to die!” Tian Chen roared.

On top of the Tower of Flames, Chen Liuli half-crouched with his hands covering his ears to protect them from Chen Tian’s roar. He looked in extreme pain.

Zhang Ruochen took out his Azuresky Bow and shot out a Whitesun Arrow.

It hit Tian Chen’s chest with a massive amount of impact sparks.

The blood armor had stopped the Whitesun Arrow. Tian Chen’s body had only jolted a bit and completely neutralized the energy of the arrow.

“You couldn’t even shake me a bit even if I stand on the spot—”

Tian Chen’s expression collapsed as he plunged all of a sudden.

Just a second earlier, his strength started to leave his body. A strong sense of frailty hit him, spreading throughout his body and giving him a horrible feeling.

“Some-Something is wrong with that arrow!”

Tian Chen finally realized that he had been too careless.

With his level of alertness, he should have dodged the Whitesun Arrow and not let it hit him.

The Mark of Time on the Whitesun Arrow could shorten a cultivator’s life. Tian Chen did not even bother to parry the attack. It just showed how overly confident he was. He did not even treat Zhang Ruochen as a worthy opponent.

Zhang Ruochen glared at King Daxi. “You better dial up the attack. Otherwise, I promise I will strip you naked and throw you down from here. I am sure those cultivators will scramble to lay their hands on you.”

“You jerk!”

But King Daxi knew very well that Zhang Ruochen was desperate and in a life-and-death situation. If she overplayed her hand, he could do anything.

So she decided not to mess with him and drove the ancient inscription as hard as possible.

A dozen shadows of divine beast formed and hit Tian Chen head-on, crushing him to the ground.

After enduring a series of attacks, Tian Chen was badly wounded, if not dead. He would not have the ability to counterattack for now.

One down, two to go.

Shadows of the divine beasts, astral vortex, and lightning struck Si Han and Jueyan Hu repeatedly. Jueyan Hu, being the weaker one, lost all five of his tails, his demonic body mutilated with bones exposed.

Sensing death was coming to him, his blood ran cold, and he was thinking of fleeing.

Just when he thought so, the horizon lit up as seven stars appeared accompanied by a powerful charisma. ????????n????e????????. ????????ｍ

Mr. Godcliff stood on one of the stars and rapidly went toward the Tower of Flames.

“Mr. Godcliff has arrived. Zhang Ruochen could not no longer do whatever he wanted.”

“It was Mr. Godcliff who restored the ancient inscription. He must have something up his sleeve. Let’s see how Zhang Ruochen will meet his end.”

The cultivators of the Heavenly Realm were overjoyed. They gritted their teeth, eager to see how Mr. Godcliff would rip Zhang Ruochen into pieces.

They could not have hated Zhang Ruochen more. He was against them, causing tremendous damages and killing many of their elites.
