# Chapter 1744: Showing Their Power
Under the impetus of Zhang Ruochen, Shi Shenghua, and Xie Chengzi, the Golden Step Dragon Carriage emitted six layers of sacred power light waves, golden light illuminating heaven and earth, the force and energy radiating from it causing even Saint King realm beings to feel fear.
"Rumble."
The nine golden dragons pulled the carriage forward, crashing into who knows how many Saint Kings and sending them flying.
Some of those Saint Kings were severely injured, their sacred bodies becoming bloody and mangled.
Seeing this, the giant-eyed Jie Ren, whose body was over one hundred and thirty meters tall, opened his mouth and roared, his voice like a thunderclap exploding across the sky.
The palace-sized war hammer was lifted by him, releasing thousands of bolts of lightning.
"Sizzle."
Looking up, the entire sky was covered with lightning, and at the center where the lightning converged was that war hammer emitting faint divine power.
It was a Divine Relic Ancient Artifact. Once activated, it could unleash a trace of divine power and should never be underestimated.
The war hammer swung down, colliding with the Nine-Step Dragon Carriage.
"Boom!"
The sky was filled with lightning and dazzling light, dividing this heaven and earth into two completely different worlds. The powerful energy surged outward, sending all the Saint King realm cultivators who were relatively close flying away.
That giant-eyed Jie Ren was indeed abnormally powerful, his cultivation not far from the Seven-Step Saint King realm.
However, the Golden Step Dragon Carriage was being driven by three great experts—Zhang Ruochen, Shi Shenghua, and Xie Chengzi—so naturally it would not lose to him.
"The Golden Step Dragon Carriage is not only capable of charging straight ahead."
Zhang Ruochen suddenly stood up, sacred energy surging from within his body, activating another part of the carriage's inscriptions. Immediately, a circular formation seal appeared at the bottom of the vehicle.
"Whoosh!"
The formation seal extended outward, reaching a diameter of over one hundred zhang, enveloping that giant-eyed Jie Ren inside the formation.
"Not good."
That giant-eyed Jie Ren had strong vigilance and realized something was wrong.
Due to divided attention, both the momentum of the giant-eyed Jie Ren's body and the power bursting from his war hammer were greatly diminished. He was pushed back continuously by the Golden Step Dragon Carriage's impact.
Immediately after, at the edge of the formation seal, a layer of golden light curtain appeared, with hundreds of dragon shadows flying across its surface.
"Roar!"
All the dragon shadows flew out, crashing into that giant-eyed Jie Ren's body.
"I have the Golden Goblet Armor; this kind of attack can only tickle me."
The armor on that giant-eyed Jie Ren's body was indeed extraordinary. Dragon shadows dozens of zhang long crashed into him but shattered like bubbles, unable to harm him in the slightest.
Of course, it was not as easy as he claimed.
Each time a dragon shadow struck his body, he would sway slightly, and a look of endurance appeared between his brows, clearly he was bearing it forcibly.
Zhang Ruochen frowned and said, "This big fellow is truly formidable. He can withstand such a powerful attack. How strong must his defense be? Even if he stood still, an ordinary Seven-Step Saint King's strike probably couldn't hurt him."
Xie Chengzi said, "This person is called... The giant-eyed Jie Ren clan is a super clan in Paradise Realm. And he is the number one expert of the giant-eyed Jie Ren clan in Truth Heaven Domain. His mother is a god, so his body contains pure divine blood, as well as bones and sacred souls far surpassing those of cultivators at the same realm. Even I am not absolutely certain I can defeat him."
Even among divine sons, there were great differences.
Some divine sons had fathers who were gods, while others had mothers who were gods.
Clearly, divine sons whose mothers were gods would be stronger.
Because before birth, the mother's divine blood and divine power would continuously merge into the fetus's body, giving the fetus a powerful physique and sacred soul, and could even leave a portion of divine power and rules within the fetus.
In this way, after the fetus was born, its cultivation realm could improve extremely quickly.
In fact, ninety-nine percent of the divine sons and divine daughters of Paradise Realm were offspring of father gods.
Encountering a divine son whose mother was a god was quite rare. Once encountered, at the same realm, they would be an overwhelmingly powerful figure rarely matched.
Shi Shenghua giggled, "That war hammer of his, and that sacred armor, if put up for auction, would probably fetch a very high price."
"Boom."
He did not hold out for long before being knocked back by the power unleashed from the Golden Step Dragon Carriage.
After pulling back some distance, he roared loudly, "The one who came is Zhang Ruochen! Activate the Judgment Life and Death Sword and the Dharma Ending Holy Staff, and keep him here!"
Sixteen Angel Clan Saint Kings quickly gathered together, with a handsome male angel at the Six-Step Saint King realm controlling the Seven Radiance Ten-Thousand Pattern Sacred Artifact level Judgment Life and Death Sword.
The other Angel Clan Saint Kings struck out sacred energy light pillars, pouring their power into the sword body.
The sword body grew larger and larger, the aura it emitted becoming more and more terrifying.
Sharp sword energy flew across the sky, sword light even piercing through the clouds in the sky.
Thirteen Elf Clan Saint Kings stood behind an Elf Queen whose spiritual power had reached the late Fifty-Seventh Order.
That Elf Queen's spiritual power was even stronger than Yan Ni's. Holding the Dharma Ending Holy Staff, she appeared extremely sacred and dignified, like a goddess from the Nine Heavens.
However, the lightning emanating from the Dharma Ending Holy Staff was even more terrifying than the hammer strike from earlier.
This heaven and earth turned into an ocean of lightning.
The ground beneath her feet became black scorched earth, as if about to melt.
"Xie Chengzi, you go deal with him." Zhang Ruochen said.
"Master, what about you..."
"Don't worry, I can handle it."
Zhang Ruochen flew to the top of the Golden Step Dragon Carriage and shouted loudly, "Zhen Miao, where is your Purple Gold Bagua Mirror?"
Zhen Miao the Little Daoist appeared from who knows where, jumped onto the Golden Step Dragon Carriage, and said, "I thought you were going to fight them all by yourself and wouldn't need the Purple Gold Bagua Mirror..."
Zhang Ruochen's eyes suddenly narrowed.
He saw that, under the impetus of the sixteen Angel Clan Saint Kings, the Judgment Life and Death Sword was slashing down.
The sword light was dazzling, sword energy crisscrossing, as if heaven and earth were about to split in two.
"Stop talking nonsense and quickly activate the supreme power. I'll go block this strike first."
Zhang Ruochen held the Eight Dragon Umbrella and soared into the air. Mid-air, he opened the umbrella, and eight dragons emerged simultaneously, colliding with the several hundred zhang long sacred sword, producing a deafening sound.
"Bang."
Zhang Ruochen was sent flying back, crashing to the ground, sinking the earth beneath his feet.
Although he blocked it with the Eight Dragon Umbrella, Zhang Ruochen's arms were numb with pain, and his internal organs felt as if they had been displaced, an indescribable discomfort.
A few more strikes like that and he would surely be severely injured.
On the other side, the fourteen Elf Clan Saint Kings, using the Dharma Ending Holy Staff, summoned a divine thunderbolt from the sky.
Zhang Ruochen once again raised the Eight Dragon Umbrella to block the divine thunder.
But after holding it for just one breath's time, his body was engulfed by lightning.
That Elf Queen, whose spiritual power had reached the Fifty-Seventh Order, thought she had Zhang Ruochen's life and death in her grasp. Cold as ice, she said, "Zhang Ruochen, if you are willing to accept possession, we can preserve one of your sacred souls. Otherwise, today will be your death day."
The Dragon Clan expert Yu Tian had been flying in mid-air all along, watching the show with his hands behind his back. Only now did he speak, "Don't bother persuading him. Zhang Ruochen's will is firm; he definitely won't agree to be possessed. Kill him directly to avoid leaving a future hidden danger."
The divine thunder continued to fall, bombarding Zhang Ruochen for a full nine breaths before finally stopping.
The ground below was shattered and melted into red-hot magma. Yet Zhang Ruochen had not died. Holding the Eight Dragon Umbrella, he still stood there like a lake surface.
All the Saint Kings of Paradise Realm drew in a cold breath, finding it unbelievable.
Zhang Ruochen's face was covered in sweat. He let out a long breath and glared at Zhen Miao the Little Daoist, saying, "Are you playing with me? If you don't activate the Purple Gold Bagua Mirror soon, I'll have to use space power, and the first one I'll suppress will be you."
"Don't rush. I'll let them know the power of the Purple Gold Bagua Mirror right away."
Zhen Miao the Little Daoist stood on the Golden Step Dragon Carriage, raising the Purple Gold Bagua Mirror with his right hand.
On the mirror's surface, streams of supreme power rose like purple mist, forming a huge Purple Gold Bagua imprint with a diameter of several hundred zhang.
Having reached the Eight-Step Saint King realm, Zhen Miao the Little Daoist could activate the Purple Gold Bagua Mirror to unleash even greater power.
Feeling the aura of supreme power, all the Saint Kings of Paradise Realm changed color drastically.
"What's going on? Where did they get a Supreme Sacred Artifact?"
"The Supreme Sacred Artifact is incomplete. If we go all out to activate the Judgment Life and Death Sword and the Dharma Ending Holy Staff, we should be able to block it."
The power of all the Saint Kings poured into those two Seven Radiance Ten-Thousand Pattern Sacred Artifacts.
On the sword body of the Judgment Life and Death Sword, there were originally six layers of sacred power light waves, but now a seventh layer appeared. However, the seventh layer of sacred power light waves was quite faint, not reaching the level of complete Seven Radiance power.
That Six-Step Saint King realm angel controlled the Judgment Life and Death Sword and slashed down, wanting to seize the initiative and kill Zhen Miao the Little Daoist first.
"A few low-realm Saint Kings dare to challenge me? Today, I'll show you what true power is."
Zhen Miao the Little Daoist spat out a mouthful of purple energy onto the Purple Gold Bagua Mirror. The huge Bagua imprint flipped up and crashed into the Judgment Life and Death Sword.
"Bang."
The Bagua imprint crushed down like a grinding stone, causing the Judgment Life and Death Sword to lose its luster. It flew out of that Six-Step Saint King realm angel's hand and fell to the ground.
"Pfft."
A purple beam of supreme power struck that Six-Step Saint King realm angel, piercing through his body, sacred blood splattering across the sky.
Having lost the Judgment Life and Death Sword, all those Paradise Realm Saint Kings were exposed beneath the Purple Gold Bagua Mirror, bearing tremendous pressure. Their faces were ashen, as if doomsday had arrived.
"An Eight-Step Saint King doesn't show his power, and you think I'm just a sacred medicine? Today, I'll go on a killing spree." Zhen Miao the Little Daoist roared loudly.
"Bang, bang."
Under the bombardment of the Purple Gold Bagua Mirror, twenty or thirty Saint King realm experts exploded like paper figures. Not a single one escaped, all dying cleanly, clearing a large area.
Even Yu Tian and him were somewhat stunned, finding it hard to accept this fact.

There should be another chapter at midnight tonight.
