Chapter 1046: Great Spatial Move

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

The Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon had the ability to kill Saints. Recently, it had broken into a pass of the First Central Empire. It had swallowed 13,000 human soldiers and even ate a Warrior Saint.

Probably no human below the Saint Realm really had the abilities to fight the Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon.

“I heard that Chi Wansui, ninth of the Half-Saint Rank, will personally come to the Yingsha City Base. If he fights the Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon, we humans will be able to put up a fight against the 12 beast tribes.”

The Void World Warrior’s expression was heated. It was the respect and reverence toward a top fighter.

The 12 beastly groups surrounded the military base completely. Without the leadership of a top fighter, no Monk could break free at all. If Chi Wansui came, he would also bring hope. He was like a pillar of support that wouldn’t fall, becoming the psychological leader of the base’s cultivators.

Zhang Ruochen climbed onto the 300-foot-tall city wall and looked outside. Yellow sand reached as far as he could see.

Using the Heavenly Eye, Zhang Ruochen could see extremely far. He spotted the traces of some savage beasts.

Hundreds of miles away to the east of the city, there were some rolling hills of sand. The entire place was filled with Black Scorpion Beasts. Tens of thousands took up about 100 miles of land in radius.

They were huge. Even the most average Black Scorpion Beast was around seven feet long. Some bigger ones were dozens of feet long. Their auras were very shocking too.

According to a warrior on the city wall, the Black Scorpion Beasts had a Beast King very close to the Saint Realm. It was gold all over and hundreds of feet tall. It had once attacked the military base.

However, the base had constructed a very strong defensive formation and defeated the Beast King.

Zhang Ruochen checked the other directions. He also saw tens of thousands of beastly groups taking up their own area. They’d completely blocked all the paths for the human cultivators.

“Brother Gu, what should we do?” Sun Dadi asked.

“Find a place to stay first,” Zhang Ruochen said. “Then we’ll think of a way to rush out. Zhao Shiqi, this will be your responsibility. I will continue to observe if there are any places among the 12 groups with weaker defenses.”

Zhao Shiqi was a 48th level Spiritual Half-Saint. His tactics couldn’t be compared to a regular Monk and quickly found somewhere to stay in the center of Yingsha City.

After night fell, Zhang Ruochen put on the Shooting Star Invisibility Cloak. Collecting his aura, he walked out of the city alone and charged toward one direction.

During the day, he’d noticed that the defense was a bit weak here. He wanted to try and see if he could secretly break through it.

However, around 40 miles later, he activated a hidden formation. A mass of fireballs and electricity flew in the sky. Thousands of beasts attacked his position too.

At the same time, there was an earth-shaking roar. A golden scorpion the size of a mountain rushed out from under the yellow sand. The scorpion king’s aura was terrifying. It created sandstorms within 100 miles of it.

The scene was like the end of the world.

Even people at Wei Longxing and Huang Yanchen’s level weren’t its match.

Zhang Ruochen immediately retreated and returned to Yingsha City.

Boom!

The golden scorpion king was countless times bigger than the city walls. It extended a claw and struck downward, crashing against Yingsha City’s outer light shield.

The 300-foot-tall city wall trembled.

The defensive formation was activated in the city. A beam of white light 10 meters wide shot out, sending the golden scorpion king flying. However, the attack only hurt the scorpion instead of killing it.

“Humans, you will come out of the city one day and I will eat you all.”

A human-like voice came out of the scorpion king’s mouth. The sound waves hurt one’s eardrums and spread throughout the city. Of course, it feared the military base’s attack formation too. In the end, it chose to retreat instead of continuing to attack.

Zhang Ruochen lifted the Shooting Star Invisibility Cloak, revealing himself. Looking at the retreating scorpion, he sighed deeply.

“Such powerful defensive abilities. Yingsha City’s attack formation can kill a Saint, but it only hurt the beast. It must be an ancient creature with the purest of ancient bloodlines. Practically no human can defeat it.”

The Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon was already difficult to deal with. Now that there was this Golden Scorpion King, how would the humans survive?

If the savage beasts got control of the Blue Dragon Void World’s treasure, they would only become stronger. By then, the humans would be even further behind.

When Zhang Ruochen returned, he told the others what had happened.

“Among the savage beasts, there’s a Beast King with extremely high attainments in formations. It has put down many hidden formation runes. It’s practically impossible to secretly break through their siege.”

Everyone fell silent.

Half a beat later, Sun Dadi said, “I asked around earlier. In a bit, countless grand alliances will arrive here. Those ancient sects and races all have some powerful methods. Even if they can’t kill a Beast King, they can at least suppress one.”

“Then we’ll wait a bit more,” Zhang Ruochen said. “In the next few days, everyone should work hard on cultivating and try to improve. There will be a great battle in a short while.”

Sun Dadi was already at the pinnacle of the Ninth Level. It was hard for him to have any breakthroughs. So instead of cultivating, he went to some of the busier regions to have fun while also getting information.

Zhao Shiqi had just gotten 30 drops of Blue Dragon Dew. Naturally, he couldn’t wait to raise his Spiritual Power to the 49th level.

Zhang Ruochen sent him into the scroll world. This way, he had ten times the time and would be faster at breaking into the next level.

Zhang Ruochen also sent Huang Yanchen and Qing Mo into the scroll world. Only Blackie remained outside to watch the Universe Spiritual Map.

Without a Grade Six Divine Origin Pill, it will be difficult to reach the Sixth Level of the Half-Saint Realm. However, since I have this extremely short time, I can combine the second world’s memory of the Seven Lives and Seven Deaths Map with my enlightenments of the Saintly Way.

Zhang Ruochen sat cross-legged below the Divine Sky-Connecting Tree. Splitting his Spiritual Power, a beam turned into a speck of light and flew into his Sea of Qi.

Whoosh—

The speck of light quickly solidified, forming a small man identical to Zhang Ruochen. Six bubbles hovered above his Sea of Qi. Each bubble represented the memories and enlightenments of the Saintly Way of a world.

However, they’d all been sealed by Chu Siyuan. Zhang Ruochen opened one bubble and started combining the memories and enlightenments.

After a long while, he’d completed the first step of combining the memories and enlightenments of the second world with his saint soul.

My Spiritual Power has reached the 49th level.

Sword Five has been completed.

The Luo Water Fist Technique has reached the seventh level.

...

Other than that, Zhang Ruochen also discovered that in the second world, his attainments of time and space both had shocking improvements.

“Great Spatial Move.”

Zhang Ruochen flashed. Ripples appeared in the surrounding air.

Then he disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was more than 20 miles away. The entire process had been very short.

“Interesting.”

It was Zhang Ruochen’s first time trying to cross such a large distance. It felt new and interesting. He continued practicing it, wanting to get it down as fast as possible.

He executed the Great Spatial Move dozens of times in a row. Each time, he crossed more than 20 miles. Compared to the Spatial Move, this was naturally an improvement.

However, according to the Time and Space Secret Guide, this was only the first step of the Great Spatial Move. In its true form, it was normal to be able to cross hundreds of miles.

After finishing the Great Spatial Move and with me being a Fifth Level Half-Saint, I’ll even be able to escape from Saints, he thought.

Only strong cultivators from the Half-Saint Rank or Outer Rank could escape from Saints. Zhang Ruochen’s ability of fleeing was clearly above them.

Other than cultivating the Great Spatial Move, Zhang Ruochen also had some other accomplishments in the second world of the Seven Lives and Seven Deaths Map.

He had considerable attainments in the third level of the Twelfth Hour Sword Technique. Plus, if he had enough resources, he was even confident that he could perform a short distance Space Transfer Formation.

Of course, both the Twelfth Hour Sword Technique and Space Transfer Formation were too complicated and abstruse. Zhang Ruochen only reached the beginning stages. His skills weren’t mature yet.

Zhang Ruochen really wanted to build a Space Transfer Formation in Yingsha City and escape from the siege of the 12 beast groups.

He copied the resources that he needed from the Time and Space Secret Guide. He needed 11 types of resources in total: four types of saint jades and seven types of saint stones.

Of these, three saint jades and seven saint stones were extremely precious and expensive, but he could still find them.

The Spatial Saint Jade, one of the four saint jades, was very rare. It could only be produced in the chaotic zone between the material and void space.

Finding one was harder than walking to heaven.

When the Blue Dragon Void World is destroyed, it might produce many Spatial Saint Jades.

Zhang Ruochen looked forward to it, but he was also a bit disappointed. Since he didn’t have Spatial Saint Jades, he could only put this plan to the side for now. He walked out of the scroll world.

After hearing that Zhang Ruochen had come out, Sun Dadi hurried back immediately with some information.

“In the past three days, three large alliances have arrived at Yingsha City,” Sun Dadi said. “One of the alliances is the one of the Blood God Sect, Shangguan Clan, and Cai Family.”

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes flashed coldly, but he recovered quickly. “Who are the other two alliances?”

“The other two...”

Sun Dadi was about to reply when a faraway voice said, “Wan Huayu from the Residence of the Little Saint God is here to visit the Deity of the Blood God Sect. Is the Deity here?”

Zhang Ruochen and Sun Dadi were both surprised. They exchanged glances.

“Why is Wan Huayu suddenly visiting me? I don’t think I’ve met her before as the Blood God Sect Deity.”

Zhang Ruochen touched his chin softly, wondering why Wan Huayu had come.
