Chapter 2026: Mo Sheng
"Boom."
Just as Teng Gu was somewhat distracted, a golden thunderbolt suddenly appeared and struck him fiercely. In his current weakened state, Teng Gu could not withstand the attack of the golden thunderbolt.
"Bang."
Teng Gu's back exploded instantly, his fleshy wings turning to charcoal, revealing stark white bones.
In an instant, a massive amount of supremely yang and rigid lightning power invaded Teng Gu's body.
Teng Gu's body was filled with yin-fiend demonic qi, which was most afraid of this kind of yang-rigid power. His physical body immediately became paralyzed and unable to move.
With a flip of his hand, Zhang Ruochen took out a Saint-Binding Rope and bound Teng Gu.
"I actually... lost so completely." Teng Gu's face was ashen, unable to accept this reality.
Until this moment, Teng Gu had to admit that he had been too arrogant, thinking he could kill Zhang Ruochen and earn a great merit, only to end up in this situation. It was truly his own fault.
While Zhang Ruochen was dealing with Teng Gu, Luo Yu saw that the situation was unfavorable. Ignoring the others, she took out a talisman and stuck it on herself, fleeing at top speed.
"Oh? Escaped quite quickly."
Luo Yu was already out of sight. Zhang Ruochen sighed inwardly but did not give chase.
Turning his gaze, Zhang Ruochen looked at the several hundred severely injured Black Demon Realm Saint Kings. He casually pointed a finger, and all of them were instantly frozen.
Then, Zhang Ruochen took out the Space Exquisite Orb and collected Teng Gu along with the several hundred Black Demon Realm Saint Kings inside.
His spiritual power circulated, and the Thunder God Venerable turned into a bolt of lightning, merging into Zhang Ruochen's body.
This was the first time he had used his newly cultivated lightning-type spells, and the effect was undoubtedly very satisfying to Zhang Ruochen.
"In the future, I need to pay more attention to cultivating spells," Zhang Ruochen thought to himself.
Since he had already cultivated his spiritual power to the top level, he naturally could not treat it as mere decoration.
However, high-level spells were even rarer than powerful sacred arts. Otherwise, with Zhang Ruochen's spiritual power intensity, why would he have never bothered to cultivate powerful lightning-type spells?
"Zhang Ruochen, pretty impressive. Even I, the Emperor, didn't expect you to have this trick up your sleeve."
Xiao Hei appeared out of thin air, looking at Zhang Ruochen with considerable surprise.
Such a big commotion in the Juegu Snow Mountains would naturally not escape his notice.
Turning his gaze, Xiao Hei looked at Mu Lingxi and said, "You actually brought Lingxi girl back. What about your cousin? Where did she go?"
"Lan You needs to cultivate in the Endless Abyss for a while and hasn't returned with us for now," Zhang Ruochen said.
Xiao Hei didn't immediately ask about their experiences in the Endless Abyss, as there were more urgent matters to deal with. He said, "Why choose this time? The Black Demon Realm has come in full force this time, mobilizing a great number of experts. If I hadn't set up three interconnected ninth-rank formations in advance, the Blood God Sect would probably have been breached by now."
"The Black Demon Realm suffered a great loss of face before and was almost reduced to a laughingstock. Retaliation was inevitable." Zhang Ruochen appeared very calm, having already anticipated these things, which was why he had rushed back.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Hei continued, "Besides the Black Demon Realm people, I vaguely sensed the presence of the Undying Blood Clan as well."
Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he fell into thought.
The appearance of the Undying Blood Clan, aside from targeting him, should be for the treasures left by the Blood God.
To be honest, even Zhang Ruochen was curious about what treasures the Blood God had left behind that made the Undying Blood Clan care so much.
Without lingering here, Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi followed Xiao Hei through the protective grand formation and appeared inside the Blood God Sect.
The Blood God Sect was once again facing a great crisis, and all its members had long gathered at Infant Lord Peak.
Xiao Hei had already repaired many of the divine patterns on Infant Lord Peak and rearranged them, making the peak as solid as a fortress, impossible for anyone to easily break into.
"Little Junior Brother, you're finally back. Good that you're safe."
Seeing Zhang Ruochen, Bao Lie immediately came forward and gave him a bear hug.
During the twenty days Zhang Ruochen had been in the Endless Abyss, they had all been very worried, as no one knew what Xue Hou's intentions were.
Jin Yu glanced at Mu Lingxi beside Zhang Ruochen and couldn't help asking, "Little Junior Brother, where is Lan You?"
"Lan You has an opportunity in the second gradient of the Endless Abyss. She doesn't want to miss it, so she's staying there for now," Zhang Ruochen said with a smile.
Elder Yuan Xing walked over and asked with great concern, "Sect Leader, why didn't the Supreme Elder return with you?"
At this moment, all the high-ranking members of the Blood God Sect were looking at Zhang Ruochen, wanting to know about Yan Liren.
Earlier, Yan Liren had suddenly appeared and taken Mu Lingxi away, causing great excitement throughout the Blood God Sect.
To the Blood God Sect, Yan Liren was like a stabilizing pillar, of extraordinary significance.
If Yan Liren were still in the Blood God Sect now, Elder Yuan Shen and the others would not be worried about the Black Demon Realm's invasion at all.
With Yan Liren's strength, combined with the ancient Supreme Sacred Artifact "Blood God Mace," who could be his match?
Although Zhang Ruochen was also very strong, in the eyes of these high-ranking members of the Blood God Sect, he still had a considerable gap compared to Yan Liren.
Zhang Ruochen naturally knew what Elder Yuan Xing and the others were thinking. After a moment of thought, he said, "The Supreme Elder has now broken through to the Great Saint Realm and can no longer appear casually in the Kunlun Realm."
"Earlier, Yan Liren even made a move to take away the younger sister-in-law. How did he break through so quickly?" Bao Lie said with surprise.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head slightly and said, "The Supreme Elder you saw was actually not his true body..."
He then went on to explain the general situation to everyone.
"Even just the cocoon body left behind from his transformation was that terrifying. No wonder he was the Tenth Emperor of the past," Jin Yu couldn't help admiring.
Earlier, when Yan Liren took Mu Lingxi away, Jin Yu had clashed palms with him and truly felt how formidable his power was.
For a moment, Elder Yuan Xing and the others all showed expressions of disappointment.
It was certainly gratifying that Yan Liren had successfully broken through to the Great Saint Realm and escaped from Xue Hou, but since he couldn't return to the Blood God Sect now, how were they supposed to deal with this calamity?
Seeing the expressions of Elder Yuan Xing and the others, Zhang Ruochen said, "Although the Supreme Elder cannot return, with me, the Sect Leader, here, I will not let the Black Demon Realm's schemes succeed."
"Little Junior Brother, do you have a plan?" Jin Yu asked.
Zhang Ruochen said, "Yes, I have some ideas. When the time comes, I might have to trouble a few senior brothers."
"Little Junior Brother, what are you saying? If you need anything, just tell us senior brothers directly," Bao Lie said, patting his chest.
A strange light flashed in Zhang Ruochen's eyes. He said, "I need to make some preparations first. Xiao Hei, hold on and don't let the Black Demon Realm people break in."
"Leave it to me. With those Black Demon Realm brats, they're still far from breaking the formation," Xiao Hei said with extreme confidence.
Zhang Ruochen nodded slightly, and then his figure directly vanished into thin air. No one knew what kind of preparations he was going to make.
The others had nothing to do for the time being, so they could only stay fully alert, ready to act at any moment.
Unless absolutely necessary, they would never give up the Blood God Sect.
Outside the Blood God Sect, the various forces of the Black Demon Realm had gathered together to avoid being picked off one by one by Zhang Ruochen.
Since Zhang Ruochen could easily annihilate one of their groups, if the other groups encountered Zhang Ruochen, the results would probably not be much better. In short, being cautious never hurt.
Inside a pitch-black palace, many top experts of the Black Demon Realm had gathered, including Luo Yu, who had just escaped from Zhang Ruochen's hands.
"You're the only one who escaped? Is Zhang Ruochen really that strong?"
A Black Demon Realm expert asked with a frown.
This person's body was covered with many scales, and on his forehead grew two gray-black horns. He didn't look human at all.
His name was Zuo Li, and he cultivated the Heavenly Demon Mad Dragon Diagram. He was known for being the most unrestrained, but his strength was extremely high, surpassing even Teng Gu and Luo Yu.
Luo Yu's face was somewhat pale. She sighed and said, "Compared to the battle at Peacock Mountain Villa, Zhang Ruochen's strength has greatly improved. More importantly, his spiritual power is extremely strong. I've never seen anyone able to execute such a terrifying lightning-type spell. Teng Gu's demonic technique was completely suppressed."
Just one thunderbolt had caused their battle formation to collapse. Just thinking about that scene made Luo Yu's heart tremble with fear.
"Spiritual power? When Zhang Ruochen fought you, didn't he use martial sacred arts?" Zuo Li asked with a look of surprise.
Luo Yu said, "Zhang Ruochen did use martial sacred arts, but what defeated us was a lightning-type spell."
Hearing this, the many experts in the hall all changed color, feeling it was very hard to believe.
Teng Gu and Luo Yu were no weaklings, and their cooperation was seamless. Even those stronger than them could have fallen into their trap.
"No wonder the Heavenly Realm regards Zhang Ruochen as a potential great enemy. This kid is indeed very terrifying," said an expert in black clothes in a deep voice.
This person was somewhat thin, with a cold and sharp gaze, and emitted a very fierce killing intent. Behind him, blood-fiend demonic qi surged, faintly revealing a sharp demonic blade.
His name was Xiao Wuchang, and he cultivated the Heavenly Demon Blade-Drawing Diagram.
This person could be considered a legendary figure. In the Black Demon Realm, he had no great reputation, far inferior to Shi Lingkun, who also cultivated the Heavenly Demon Blade-Drawing Diagram.
But after arriving in the Kunlun Realm, Xiao Wuchang rose abruptly, replacing Shi Lingkun's position.
The reason was that Xiao Wuchang had obtained a great opportunity. In a secret place, he had found the stone-carved authentic work of the Heavenly Demon Blade-Drawing Diagram and received many benefits that ordinary people could not imagine.
When Xiao Wuchang walked out of that secret place, his cultivation had miraculously broken through from the Eight-Step Saint King to the Nine-Step Saint King Dao Domain Realm.
More importantly, Xiao Wuchang's strength was extremely strong. Among the Dao Domain Realm experts of the Black Demon Realm, no one was his match.
In this regard, many Black Demon Realm cultivators could only envy Xiao Wuchang's good fortune.
Needless to say, Xiao Wuchang's earth-shattering transformation must have been related to the stone-carved authentic work of the Heavenly Demon Blade-Drawing Diagram.
Comprehending the authentic work was worlds apart from comprehending a rubbing.
"Zhang Ruochen coming out of the Endless Abyss at this time is somewhat troublesome. And those three ninth-rank formations covering the Blood God Sect are also hard to break. What should we do now?"
An old woman said in a deep voice.
The old woman looked very aged, with dry, bark-like skin, full of a gloomy aura, as if she were on her last legs.
But none of the Black Demon Realm experts present dared to underestimate this old woman.
The old woman was called Yin Fan Demoness. She was originally the number one beauty of the Black Demon Realm. The reason she had become like this was entirely due to cultivating a demonic technique.
Yin Fan Demoness was known for being ruthless and merciless. Even in the Black Demon Realm, few dared to provoke her.
Zuo Li thought for a moment and said, "Zhang Ruochen is a very unstable factor. Among us, I'm afraid no one can say for sure they can handle him. So, for now, it's best to hold our positions and wait for Senior Brother Mo Sheng to arrive."
Hearing this, the people in the hall all nodded slightly. With Teng Gu's precedent, no one was willing to go and fight to the death with Zhang Ruochen, this god of death.
"Hmph, the Undying Blood Clan is quite calculating. They deliberately leaked some information to us, letting us attack the Blood God Sect while they reap the benefits," Yin Fan Demoness said with a cold snort.
Zuo Li chuckled and said, "It's not that simple. With Senior Brother Mo Sheng here, how can they be the fisherman?"
At the mention of Mo Sheng, a look of reverence appeared in the eyes of the many experts in the hall.
In their Black Demon Realm, there were many experts, but only Mo Sheng had entered the second tier below the Great Saint.
One must know that to enter the second tier below the Great Saint, one needed to mobilize the range of heaven and earth rules to eight thousand li. This was something that even many weaker Immortal Great Saints found difficult to achieve.
Anyone who could reach this level usually had the strength to defeat ordinary Immortal Great Saints. And once they themselves broke through to the Immortal Great Saint Realm, they would immediately become top experts at that level.
If it weren't for this, not so many people would choose to stay in the Lin Dao Realm for a long time, all for the sake of laying a stronger foundation and going further in the future.
Immediately, the Black Demon Realm stopped their attack and secretly made various preparations, waiting only for Mo Sheng to arrive before destroying the Blood God Sect with overwhelming force.
This also allowed Xiao Hei to breathe a sigh of relief. Continuously operating three ninth-rank formations was no easy task.
At the nearest Merit Branch Station to the Blood God Sect, a sudden violent commotion occurred.
"Ao wu."
Accompanied by a fierce wolf howl, a black wolf covered in a large amount of blood rushed out of the Merit Branch Station.
The aura emitted by the black wolf was fierce and powerful, comparable to a Dao Domain Realm expert.
It had a pair of terrifying blood-red eyes. If a weaker person looked into them, their sacred soul would be forcibly sucked away.
On the black wolf's back sat a gray-haired man who looked very young, around twenty years old, with a handsome face. He wore blood-stained armor, exuding an extremely cold aura, and a layer of deathly qi seemed to wrap around him, as if he had returned from hell.
The gray-haired man's gaze was cold, devoid of any emotion. The war blade in his hand was still dripping blood, and he emitted an incredibly terrifying killing aura that inspired fear.
"Blood God Sect."
The gray-haired man muttered, a cold light flashing in his eyes as he looked toward the distant white snow region.
The next moment, the black wolf soared into the air, carrying the gray-haired man, walking through the void, and rapidly running toward the Juegu Snow Mountains where the Blood God Sect was located...
It wasn't until the gray-haired man left that some people walked out of the Merit Branch Station.
At this moment, inside the Merit Branch Station, four people were lying on the ground, their eyes full of terror. Their bodies were still warm, but there was no life fluctuation.
Looking at the four fallen people, everyone present couldn't help but draw in a cold breath.
Those four people had been glanced at by the black wolf and had their sacred souls devoured in an instant, leaving only empty shells. It was truly tragic.
"What a terrifying blood-eyed demon wolf. The person on its back must be the Black Demon Realm's leader—Mo Sheng."
"Not long ago, a large number of Black Demon Realm experts had already headed to the Blood God Sect one after another. I didn't expect Mo Sheng to come now as well."
"Mo Sheng is a ruthless man. His Greed Wolf Demon Blade has devoured the flesh and blood of many Shura Clan experts on the Southern Domain Merit Battlefield. At least three first-rank princes, who were extremely ferocious, have died under his blade."
"It seems the Blood God Sect is in big trouble. Even with Zhang Ruochen personally sitting in the Blood God Sect, he may not be able to withstand it."
"Don't underestimate Zhang Ruochen. It's possible that even Mo Sheng will fall into his hands."
"How is that possible? Mo Sheng is not a new-generation cultivator like Shang Zihong. He is a contemporary of the Truth Divine Temple's Ten Great Divine Transmission Disciples and the Heavenly Court's Four Great Heavenly Kings. He is a true top-tier giant on the current Kunlun Realm Merit Battlefield."
...
Xiao Yu's new book "The Legend of the Heavenly Emperor" is already fat and ready for slaughter.
