Chapter 2043: Blood Spirit Immortal Awakens
"Radiant Purification."
Zhou Yu waved his hand, and an extremely sacred radiance flew out from the Radiant Heavenly Book, forming a brilliant light curtain that completely enveloped Infant Lord Peak.
Under the illumination of this radiance, many things on Infant Lord Peak began to melt, like snow and ice meeting scorching sunlight.
Seeing this, Zhang Ruochen's expression could not help but change slightly. He immediately released powerful sacred force, enveloping all the disciples of the Blood God Sect, and took them all into the Qiankun Realm.
The truth was that the strength of these Blood God Sect disciples was too weak; the strongest among them was only a Six-Step Saint King, utterly unable to withstand the attack unleashed by Zhou Yu.
As for Mu Lingxi, Han Xue, and the others, their strength was considerable, and they had the ability to protect themselves.
Moreover, at a time like this, they would absolutely not be willing to leave Zhang Ruochen to face the enemy alone.
After sheltering everyone, Zhang Ruochen extended a hand, mobilizing the one hundred thousand Space Rules within his body, and released a terrifying spatial force.
"Boom."
The space ahead instantly shattered into a large hole. Violent spatial force converged, forming a terrifying black storm that swept in all directions.
"Bang."
Under the impact of the spatial storm, the sacred radiance released by Zhou Yu immediately shattered.
However, Zhang Ruochen did not breathe a sigh of relief because of this. Instead, his expression grew even more solemn.
The moment the sacred radiance dissipated, Zhang Ruochen saw the Nether Sun Divine Wheel fly over, releasing a surging, heaven-shaking divine power.
"Everyone, help me!"
Zhang Ruochen shouted in a low voice, pouring all his power into the Mountain-Hiding Demon Mirror.
Mu Lingxi, Jin Yu, and the others did not hesitate, each injecting their sacred qi into the Mountain-Hiding Demon Mirror.
The Mountain-Hiding Demon Mirror awakened, and three solid demon mountains flew out from within the mirror. Using these as a foundation, surging demonic qi surged, quickly condensing into numerous solid, pitch-black demon mountains, crushing the sturdy space apart.
Meanwhile, Han Xue entered a state of unity between man and sword, unreservedly unleashing the power of a thousand bones, slashing out a peerless edge that shone across the nine provinces and the entire world.
"Boom."
The Nether Sun Divine Wheel was unstoppable, exerting a crushing force. It easily shattered the peerless edge slashed out by Han Xue, and then proceeded to crush the demon mountains condensed by the Mountain-Hiding Demon Mirror, one after another.
"Bang."
Even the three solid demon mountains could not withstand the Nether Sun Divine Wheel. They were forcibly knocked back into the mirror, and even the main body of the Mountain-Hiding Demon Mirror itself was impacted.
In an instant, the Mountain-Hiding Demon Mirror flew away, its secret patterns fading, and its overall luster becoming dim.
"Pfft."
Apart from Zhang Ruochen, everyone who had been channeling power into the Mountain-Hiding Demon Mirror spat out a mouthful of blood, suffering injuries that were not light.
Zhang Ruochen had clearly also sustained some injuries. His complexion turned somewhat pale, and he stared coldly at Mo Sheng and Zhou Yu.
Suffering consecutive injuries, even with the divine sun in his Divine Light Qi Sea, Zhang Ruochen could not recover immediately, and his strength was greatly affected.
Too many unexpected changes had occurred in this battle, something no one could have predicted.
The Nether Sun Divine Wheel used divine power to seal the space, while the Town Vein Stone could break formations. This undoubtedly nullified all the advantages Zhang Ruochen's side had.
Now, forget about protecting the Blood God Sect; even retreating had become nearly impossible.
"Zhang Ruochen, let me see you off."
A fierce light flashed in Mo Sheng's eyes, and he struck out with the Nether Sun Divine Wheel once again.
The divine shadow of Ling Yang Nether Lord manifested, gathering vast divine power, and struck a palm strike towards Infant Lord Peak.
Wherever the palm passed, space shattered, forming a terrifying spatial storm that also swept towards Infant Lord Peak.
"Evil Spirit."
Zhang Ruochen shouted in a low voice, summoning the Evil Spirit from the Qiankun Realm.
The Evil Spirit drove its massive divine body, coiling layer upon layer, blocking the front.
Nurtured over many years, the Evil Spirit's own sacred soul had become much stronger, and its compatibility with the Divine Python Corpse had also improved, its power having doubled.
"Bang."
The Evil Spirit withstood a palm strike from Ling Yang Nether Lord's divine shadow. Although it was pushed backward, it managed to block the strike successfully.
The Evil Spirit, fused with the Divine Python Corpse, inherently contained various strange powers like death and decay, giving it a strong immunity to the attacks of the Nether Sun Divine Wheel, so it did not suffer too much damage.
"Whoosh."
The Evil Spirit swung its body, its python tail like a divine spear, stabbing out at Ling Yang Nether Lord's divine shadow like lightning.
"Bang."
Ling Yang Nether Lord's divine shadow immediately exploded, turning into a sinister mass of black mist.
"A mere divine corpse cannot save your life," Zhou Yu said coldly.
As he spoke, Zhou Yu waved his hand, and the Radiant Heavenly Book flew straight towards the Evil Spirit.
It could be seen that countless Radiant Rules surfaced on the surface of the Radiant Heavenly Book, releasing a sacred and brilliant light that enveloped the Evil Spirit.
"Roar."
The Evil Spirit immediately let out a painful roar, black smoke continuously rising from its body.
The dark, deathly, decaying, and other various powers contained within the Divine Python Corpse were all being purified by the Radiant Heavenly Book.
More importantly, the Evil Spirit's sacred soul was also under attack. Even hiding within the Divine Python Corpse was useless.
In just a short moment, the Evil Spirit felt as if its sacred soul was about to melt, yet it was utterly powerless to resist.
There was no doubt that the Radiant Heavenly Book was its bane, preventing it from using any of its abilities.
Zhang Ruochen did not hesitate. He took out the Space-Time Secret Scripture and met the Radiant Heavenly Book head-on.
At the same time, he released sacred force, enveloping the Evil Spirit, and withdrew it back into the Qiankun Realm.
Handing the Mountain-Hiding Demon Mirror over to Mu Lingxi, Jin Yu, and the others to control, Zhang Ruochen began to fully activate the Space-Time Secret Scripture, forming a multi-dimensional space that instantly enveloped the Radiant Heavenly Book.
"Zhang Ruochen, your opponent is me."
Just then, Mo Sheng appeared, riding the Nether Sun Divine Wheel, and released a stream of divine power, blasting it towards Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen frowned slightly, mobilizing the seventy thousand Time Rules within his body, and released a strange temporal force.
The void trembled, and the shadow of a long river of time materialized, with countless time fragments dancing within it.
"Shua."
The divine power released by the Nether Sun Divine Wheel instantly collapsed, unable to withstand the scouring of the long river of time.
Then, the shadow of the long river of time swept towards Mo Sheng, as if intending to eternally banish him.
Mo Sheng's expression changed slightly. He had to fully activate the Nether Sun Divine Wheel, using its vast divine power to protect himself, and then let the Nether Sun Divine Wheel crash into the shadow of the long river of time.
"Bang."
The shadow of the long river of time shattered, and countless time fragments flew out, enveloping the Nether Sun Divine Wheel.
The Nether Sun Divine Wheel immediately dimmed considerably, its divine power being worn away by the time fragments.
"Hum."
Ripples spread through the space, and concentric formation circles appeared around Mo Sheng, instantly forming a powerful formation, attempting to suppress him.
Without needing to think, it was Xiao Hei making his move, employing his formation techniques.
"Owl, you're asking for death."
A cold light flashed in Mo Sheng's eyes, and his fierce killing intent locked onto Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei raised his head, speaking forcefully, "Who are you calling an owl? What do you think you are? Even your Black Demon Realm's founder, Black Heart Demon Lord, was beaten by this Emperor until he pissed his pants back in the day."
"Daring to insult my master is an unforgivable crime."
The killing intent radiating from Mo Sheng instantly skyrocketed.
He temporarily abandoned attacking Zhang Ruochen and instead blasted the Nether Sun Divine Wheel towards Xiao Hei.
"Bang."
Although Xiao Hei tried his best to dodge, he was still solidly hit by the Nether Sun Divine Wheel.
A cold sneer appeared in Mo Sheng's eyes. Anyone who opposed the Black Demon Realm would only meet death.
"It hurts, it hurts this Emperor to death!"
Hearing this voice, Mo Sheng's expression instantly turned gloomy.
He truly had not expected that Xiao Hei could still survive after taking a direct hit from the Nether Sun Divine Wheel.
"Rumble."
Countless Radiant Rules surfaced on the surface of the Radiant Heavenly Book, and one Radiant Sacred Art after another was unleashed, destroying everything.
The multi-dimensional space formed by the Space-Time Secret Scripture continuously shattered and then quickly reformed.
During this process, Zhang Ruochen was under immense pressure, blood constantly seeping from the corners of his mouth.
After all, there was still a considerable gap between Zhang Ruochen and Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu was a cultivator at the Lintao Realm, with over eighty million Sacred Dao Rules within his body—four times Zhang Ruochen's amount—including over one hundred thousand Radiant Rules.
Furthermore, Zhang Ruochen was injured, his strength compromised, and he was unable to exert his full power.
"Zhang Ruochen, your struggle is futile."
Zhou Yu spoke indifferently, extending a hand. A massive amount of Sacred Dao Rules flew out, surging towards the Radiant Sacred Scripture.
Clearly, Zhou Yu no longer wished to delay any further, so he was using his full power to kill Zhang Ruochen as quickly as possible.
The Radiant Sacred Scripture flipped rapidly, and silhouettes of angels materialized one after another, chanting hymns. Infinite radiance bloomed, and nothing could obstruct it.
Mo Sheng revealed a cold smile, took a deep breath, and said, "This is the end!"
Immediately, all the Black Demon Realm experts quickly gathered around Mo Sheng, continuously injecting their demonic qi into the Nether Sun Divine Wheel, intending to unleash a killing blow.
Under the impetus of the vast demonic qi, the Nether Sun Divine Wheel immediately trembled violently. Its main body became enormous, releasing a dim, grayish radiance that stripped away all life force.
"Is this how it ends?" Bao Lie's face was filled with bitterness, his heart full of unwillingness.
Han Xue said in an icy voice, "Even if we die, we must make them pay a heavy price."
With that, Han Xue transformed her body into a sword, merging with the void. Using all her essence, energy, and spirit, she controlled the Void Sword, intending to unleash a strike of ultimate power.
Hearing this, Mu Lingxi and the others also showed expressions of determination. They recklessly poured their power into the Mountain-Hiding Demon Mirror, even forcing out their own essence blood to stimulate the mirror's strongest power.
The Mountain-Hiding Demon Mirror and the Void Sword flew out simultaneously, carrying the unyielding will of Mu Lingxi and the others.
"Boom."
The three supreme treasures collided, releasing a violent power that drowned heaven and earth.
The Void Sword flew back, and Han Xue separated from the sword, spitting out a torrent of blood. Her face became extremely pale.
Mu Lingxi and the others were also sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground, unable to move, having suffered terrible injuries.
The Black Demon Realm side did not gain much advantage either. Their carefully constructed battle formation was scattered, and many people were spitting blood.
On the other side, Zhang Ruochen mobilized the Time Rules and Space Rules within his body, using the Space-Time Secret Scripture to push his temporal and spatial techniques to their limits.
The shadow of the long river of time reappeared, and it was even larger and more solid than before. It existed within a special space, piercing through layers of defense, and crashed into the Radiant Heavenly Book.
"Boom."
The Radiant Heavenly Book bloomed with eternal light, annihilating all things. It instantly tore apart the multi-dimensional space formed by the Space-Time Secret Scripture.
A terrifying force struck Zhang Ruochen's body, sending him flying.
Even with the protection of the Flame God Armor, Zhang Ruochen was still severely injured, his internal organs nearly shattered.
At the same time, the shadow of the long river of time also knocked the Radiant Heavenly Book away, and remotely blasted a stream of temporal-spatial force into Zhou Yu's body.
Zhou Yu grunted, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. His aura became very unstable.
In an instant, Zhou Yu felt that at least a hundred years of his lifespan had been severed.
Anger finally appeared on Zhou Yu's face, and a terrifying killing intent radiated from his body. He could no longer remain calm.
He had never imagined that, even while fully activating the Radiant Heavenly Book, he would still be injured by Zhang Ruochen. This was absolutely unforgivable.
"Zhang Ruochen, die!"
Zhou Yu roared in anger. A tall, sacred shadow appeared behind him, and he struck a palm towards Zhang Ruochen.
"Hum."
Just then, a vast and majestic aura appeared abruptly, instantly spreading throughout the entire Blood God Sect.
"Who is it?"
Zhou Yu became alert. He stopped his attack and followed the aura, casting his gaze towards the Blood God Sect's most mysterious location—the Blood God Altar.
At the same time, many of the Black Demon Realm experts also turned their heads, staring intently at the Blood God Altar.
A piercing whistling sound came from the cliff edge of the Blood God Altar.
In an instant, with the Blood God Altar as the center, the blood qi of heaven and earth converged madly, forming a massive vortex of blood qi, its momentum immense.
Within the vortex of blood qi, a silver figure slowly walked out, accompanied by a voice full of authority, "Anyone who dares to trespass into the Blood God Sect shall be killed without mercy."
This person was different from ordinary people, possessing a human head and a serpent's body, the lower half completely covered in silver scales.
Seeing this figure appear, Zhang Ruochen's heart trembled. He said, word by word, "Blood Spirit Immortal."
...
After reading "The Ancient God Emperor," everyone can also go read "The Legend of the Heavenly Emperor." The new book has already reached two hundred thousand words.
