Chapter 2056: Golden Dragon Seizes the Armor
Seeing the Four Heavenly Kings retreat, Yu Lin Ghost King, Jin Lie Bone King, and Yuan Ju Corpse King all couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then excitement appeared in their eyes.
Having the opportunity to fight the Four Heavenly Kings of the Heavenly Palace was something countless Hell Realm experts longed for, but basically, they could only dream about it.
After all, given the strength of the Four Heavenly Kings, if they really encountered them, the outcome probably wouldn't be good.
Yu Lin Ghost King and the other two had gotten their wish this time. Although they were all heavily injured and had lost many of their subordinates, being able to injure the Four Heavenly Kings was undoubtedly worth the price.
Once the news spread back to the Hell Realm, it would surely cause a huge sensation. Their reputations would undoubtedly increase greatly, and their rankings among the experts of the Ten Clans of Hell would also rise accordingly.
Bore was very calm. She quickly withdrew her power and absorbed the Destiny Heavenly Disk back into her body.
Yan Wushen also put away the *Death Heavenly Scripture*, turned around, looked at Bore and the others, and smiled, "This time, I have to thank you all. Otherwise, dealing with the Four Heavenly Kings would have been very troublesome. Consider me in your debt. If you ever have any troublesome matters in the future, feel free to come to me."
"Brother Yan is too kind. Dealing with the experts of the Heavenly Court Realm is our duty. Moreover, it is truly our honor to fight alongside Brother Yan," Yu Lin Ghost King said flatteringly with a smile.
There was no other way. Yan Wushen was extremely powerful and very domineering. Even in the Hell Realm, no one dared to provoke him.
In the past, some had challenged Yan Wushen, but they were all severely beaten. Even the top experts ranked second and third in the Saint King Realm of the Hell Realm had been knocked down by Yan Wushen.
So, facing Yan Wushen, Yu Lin Ghost King had to be careful, afraid of displeasing him.
Yan Wushen naturally knew what Yu Lin Ghost King was thinking. He said seriously, "I distinguish clearly between kindness and enmity. Since you helped me, I will remember it. Alright, you should return to your base and recover from your injuries."
"Then we will take our leave," Yu Lin Ghost King said.
After briefly saying goodbye to Yan Wushen and Bore, Yu Lin Ghost King, Jin Lie Bone King, and Yuan Ju Corpse King led the remaining experts and quickly withdrew from this ruined battlefield.
From beginning to end, Yuan Ju Corpse King remained extremely silent, not saying a single word.
No one found this strange, because everyone knew that he was a man of few words.
Yan Wushen turned his gaze to Bore, thoughtful, and said, "Alone, I would have no chance against the Four Heavenly Kings. But... haha, from now on, you and I are allies. I will do my best to help you become the Goddess of the Destiny Temple. When you become stronger, working together with me should be enough to contend with the Four Heavenly Kings, or even surpass them."
"The strength of the Four Heavenly Kings is indeed formidable. The power of the derivative realm they control is also very unusual. I am very interested in fighting them again," Bore said calmly, but a sharp light flashed in her eyes.
Although she did not directly accept Yan Wushen's alliance proposal, her words undoubtedly indicated her stance.
Just then, a beam of holy light flew from the horizon and landed in Yan Wushen's hand.
"Hmm? Xue Lingxian's holy thought body has dissipated. What a pity. I wanted to fight him, but it seems I won't have the chance."
After reading the content of the Message Light Talisman, Yan Wushen couldn't help but sigh.
With the matter here concluded, Yan Wushen had been planning to go to the Blood God Sect, but now he had to abandon that idea.
"Forget it. I'll find a place to recover from my injuries and do some cultivation. Bore, what are your plans?" Yan Wushen turned to look at Bore.
Bore cast her gaze into the depths of the Yin Burial Mountain Range and said, "I am going to enter the Yin Burial Mountain Range to comprehend the Path of Fate."
"Then I wish you good luck."
Leaving these words, Yan Wushen did not stay any longer. His form turned illusory and vanished without a trace.
Bore stood there for a moment, pondered briefly, then moved, flashing into the depths of the Yin Burial Mountain Range.
Thus, the battle between the top experts of the Heavenly Court Realm and the Hell Realm came to an end. Yan Wushen and the Four Heavenly Kings were all injured. If this news spread, it would surely cause a huge uproar.
Unfortunately, there were no spectators to this battle, except for a golden dragon who only knew how to eat, secretly hiding in the shadows and watching.
"What is this Underworld Clan woman doing going deep into the Yin Burial Mountain Range? Lord Dragon needs to follow her and see. Maybe I can get my main body back."
The Golden Dragon's eyes rolled around, and it silently followed behind Bore.
...
After sending off the six Patrol Envoys, the Blood God Sect returned to peace, and everything seemed to have settled down.
Having been attacked repeatedly, the Blood God Sect was severely damaged. Apart from Infant Lord Peak, Qian Yuan Mountain, and the Blood God Altar, everywhere else was in a state of ruin and needed to be rebuilt. Numerous formations also needed to be re-established.
These matters were not too troublesome and did not require Zhang Ruochen, the Sect Leader, to worry about.
Inside the Guiyuan Divine Palace on Infant Lord Peak.
After some recuperation, Zhang Ruochen's injuries had basically healed. Only now did he have the time and energy to inventory the gains from the previous battle.
Except for a Heavenly Demon Stone Inscription and a Formation Suppression Stone, which he had given to Xiao Hei, all the other treasures he had seized were on Zhang Ruochen.
With a flip of his hand, Zhang Ruochen took out the Space Crystal Ball containing the treasures.
Inside were not only many treasures but also the imprisoned Qingtian Sacred Dragon and Blood Butcher.
The entire wealth of over a thousand Saint King Realm experts was absolutely immense. Even Zhang Ruochen couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.
It didn't take long for Zhang Ruochen to roughly inventory the treasures in the Space Crystal Ball. A brilliant smile appeared on his face.
"One Supreme Sacred Artifact, two Divine Relic Ancient Artifacts, three Monarch War Artifacts, seven Heavenly Demon Stone Inscriptions, eight types of precious divine materials for forging an indestructible sacred body, thirteen Divine Stones..."
One by one, precious treasures were taken out of the Space Crystal Ball by Zhang Ruochen. Any one of them, if taken out, would attract countless experts to fight over it. Even Great Saint Realm experts, or even gods, might be tempted.
Some weaker major worlds might not even be able to produce so many treasures.
The Uninterrupted Hell Prison Tower was a Supreme Sacred Artifact, while the Nether Sun Divine Wheel and the Radiant Heavenly Scripture were Divine Relic Ancient Artifacts. But they shared a common feature: they were all forged by powerful gods, possessed immense power, and had once slaughtered gods.
Among the three Monarch War Artifacts, Mo Sheng's Greed Wolf Demon Blade was of the best quality, but it had suffered some damage. Zhuo Gu's Purple Extreme Demon Spear and the Black Spirit Demon Umbrella, which many Black Demon Realm Saint Kings had used to resist Zhang Ruochen's lightning techniques, were of slightly lower quality but still possessed considerable power.
Speaking of which, on the battlefield back then, if the nearly eight hundred Black Demon Realm Saint Kings hadn't relied on the Black Spirit Demon Umbrella, they would have been scattered by Zhang Ruochen's lightning techniques long ago, and there would have been no need for Xue Lingxian to deal with them later.
"The people of the Black Demon Realm are indeed capable. They managed to collect so many Heavenly Demon Stone Inscriptions. Xiao Hei said that the Heavenly Demon Stone Inscriptions might be related to a Divine Artifact. I wonder if that's true or false."
Touching the ancient stone inscriptions with different patterns, Zhang Ruochen had many thoughts.
In front of him were twelve Heavenly Demon Stone Inscriptions. If he counted Xiao Hei's piece, that would be thirteen, already more than a third of the total.
This number was even greater than what the Black Market had collected.
Zhang Ruochen thought that the Saint King Realm experts of the Black Demon Realm had come out in full force, so the Heavenly Demon Stone Inscriptions they had collected should be more than just these eight. But he didn't know who held the remaining ones.
There were a total of thirty-six Heavenly Demon Stone Inscriptions. Zhang Ruochen had thirteen, the Black Market had nine, and the Moon Worship Demon Sect had three, making a total of twenty-five.
That meant there were still eleven scattered elsewhere. Collecting them all would not be an easy task.
The Black Market was very deep, and the Moon Worship Demon Sect was no simple matter. The Black Demon Realm probably had no hope of obtaining the Heavenly Demon Stone Inscriptions from these two major forces.
Moreover, some of the Heavenly Demon Stone Inscriptions had long since disappeared without a trace.
So, no matter how capable the Black Demon Realm was, the number of Heavenly Demon Stone Inscriptions they could obtain was probably very limited.
"Losing eight Heavenly Demon Stone Inscriptions at once, the people of the Black Demon Realm must hate me to the bone," Zhang Ruochen said with a light laugh.
The Black Demon Realm had once received a great favor from the Kunlun Realm but had shamelessly betrayed it, willingly becoming a pawn of the Paradise Realm. Zhang Ruochen had no good feelings for this major world and naturally wouldn't let them have their way.
Anyone from the Kunlun Realm probably wouldn't want to see the Black Demon Realm continue to grow.
If possible, Zhang Ruochen wouldn't let the people of the Black Demon Realm take any Heavenly Demon Stone Inscriptions.
Carefully examining the twelve Heavenly Demon Stone Inscriptions in front of him, Zhang Ruochen fell into thought. "The Heavenly Demon Stone Inscriptions indeed contain infinite mysteries. No wonder they are the sacred objects of the demonic path. Cultivating any one of them to the extreme can lead to becoming a god. I wonder what kind of powerful being created them. Although I don't practice demonic techniques, I can still draw some useful things from them."
In his previous life, Zhang Ruochen's cultivation was too low, and he couldn't understand the Heavenly Demon Stone Inscriptions at all.
In this life, with his profound cultivation and powerful strength, he could comprehend the mysteries contained in the Heavenly Demon Stone Inscriptions and enhance his own accumulation.
In recent battles, Zhang Ruochen had increasingly realized that he had significant shortcomings in the Sword Dao. Apart from the Time Sword Art and Sword Ten, he had no other sword techniques to show. Whether it was the True One Thunder Fire Sword Art passed down through the Skyward Sword Lineage or the Nine Lives Sword Art taught by Ling Feiyu, they were no longer suitable for his current level of cultivation and strength.
If he couldn't obtain a more powerful Sword Dao inheritance, there was only one path left: to create his own sword techniques.
This was very difficult, but it was a step he had to take.
For those supremely powerful sword cultivators, the strongest sword techniques they mastered were almost all self-created.
Because only self-created sword techniques could unleash the greatest power.
"Now that I have cultivated 700,000 Sword Dao Rules, with this accumulation, if I spend more time, I should be able to create a sword technique that is uniquely mine."
A sharp light flashed in Zhang Ruochen's eyes, and he had already made a decision.
With thirty-three Divine Stones, time was not an issue.
Too many things had happened recently. Zhang Ruochen had been pushed to the forefront of the storm. It was time to lie low and reduce attention from all sides.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen sensed something.
With a movement of his body, Zhang Ruochen left the Guiyuan Divine Palace and appeared outside the Blood God Sect.
"Come out."
Zhang Ruochen cast his gaze in a certain direction and said indifferently.
Immediately, a young, handsome figure appeared out of thin air, bowed to Zhang Ruochen, and said, "Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhang Ruochen was not unfamiliar with the young man who appeared before him. He was Qi Sheng, the former Crown Prince of the Qitian Tribe of the Undying Blood Clan in the Kunlun Realm.
Back then, Empress Chi Yao had returned as a god and wiped out the Undying Blood Clan in the Kunlun Realm in one fell swoop. However, Qi Sheng and the Undying Blood Goddess Yinghuo had luckily escaped.
Earlier in the Eastern Domain, Zhang Ruochen had unexpectedly encountered the two of them and taken the God-Destroying Cross Shield and the Ten Thousand Beasts Treasure Mirror from them. He had intended to kill them, but his inner demon, Qiu Yichi, had suddenly appeared and saved them.
Zhang Ruochen looked Qi Sheng up and down, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes. He hadn't expected Qi Sheng's cultivation to have already reached the Seven-Step Saint King realm.
However, considering the many precious cultivation resources that Xue Hou controlled, and that Qi Sheng's innate talent was excellent, it was not surprising that he could improve by two realms in a short time.
Especially in the second gradient of the Endless Abyss, there were many mysterious secret places. The time flow in one of them was different from the outside world.
By fully utilizing these conditions, cultivating experts was not a difficult task.
"Qi Sheng, what do you want from me?" Zhang Ruochen asked indifferently.
Qi Sheng said respectfully, "Reporting to Your Highness the Crown Prince, I am here on the orders of Empress Xue Hou, hoping that Your Highness will hand over the Blood Butcher Divine Son to me."
Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen's expression changed slightly. He really hadn't expected Xue Hou to send someone to ask him for Blood Butcher.
He had a deep enmity with Blood Butcher, and since Blood Butcher was of the Undying Blood Clan and had fallen into his hands, there was no possibility of letting him go.
Unconsciously, a faint killing intent emanated from Zhang Ruochen.
Feeling this killing intent, Qi Sheng's eyelids twitched, and he quickly said, "Empress Xue Hou instructed me to tell Your Highness that the Blood Butcher Divine Son is of great use to her. She also guarantees to Your Highness that Blood Butcher will never appear in the Kunlun Realm again, nor will he be your enemy."
"In addition, this is something Empress Xue Hou asked me to give to Your Highness, in exchange for the Blood Butcher Divine Son."
Zhang Ruochen wanted to refuse directly, but thinking that Kong Lanyou and Chi Kunlun were both in the second gradient of the Endless Abyss, if Xue Hou took offense at this and vented her anger on them, it would be very troublesome.
His mind racing, Zhang Ruochen said in a deep voice, "Go back and tell her that I hope she will keep her promise. I don't want to see Blood Butcher in the Kunlun Realm again."
With that, Zhang Ruochen directly released Blood Butcher from the Space Crystal Ball and casually threw him to Qi Sheng.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, this..."
Qi Sheng raised the space pouch in his hand, a look of difficulty on his face.
"I don't need anything from her."
Leaving these words, Zhang Ruochen's figure vanished without a trace.
Qi Sheng was momentarily stunned, then had to put the space pouch away. This outcome was within Xue Hou's expectations.
But regardless, he had completed his mission and successfully obtained the Blood Butcher Divine Son from Zhang Ruochen.
Without lingering here any longer, Qi Sheng immediately took the Blood Butcher Divine Son and headed back to the Endless Abyss.
...
Deep within the Yin Burial Mountain Range, it was shrouded in extremely dense Yin Sha Qi all year round. The environment was extremely complex, and even top Saint King Realm experts dared not venture in recklessly.
But Bore seemed very familiar with the Yin Burial Mountain Range. In no time, she had already penetrated deep into it.
The depths of the Yin Burial Mountain Range formed a world of their own, gray and hazy. Countless undead and wandering souls drifted within, a scene of utter silence with no trace of life.
Ahead of Bore stood an extremely towering mountain peak. This mountain was very unusual, its general outline resembling a giant standing upright.
Compared to the surrounding peaks, this human-shaped mountain gathered the densest Yin Qi and Death Qi, and many fragments of fate lingered outside the mountain.
"The Yin Burial Mountain Range is indeed extraordinary. It can even trap the fragments of fate of living beings. This place is indeed very suitable for me to cultivate the Path of Fate."
Looking at the towering human-shaped mountain ahead, a strange light flickered in Bore's eyes.
"I'll cultivate here for a while first, then go find the artifact spirit of the Hundred Dragon Bright Emperor Armor. Or maybe it will come to me on its own."
Murmuring to herself, Bore began to walk toward the towering human-shaped mountain.
She didn't fly directly to the top but slowly climbed from the foot of the mountain, carefully experiencing the mountain's divine peculiarities, absorbing fragments of fate into her body.
Watching Bore slowly climb the mountain, the Golden Dragon's eyes showed surprise. "Hey! She knows how to pick a place. This is indeed an excellent spot for cultivating the Path of Fate."
"First, I'll take back the Bright Emperor Armor."
After staring for a moment, the Golden Dragon extended a dragon claw and grabbed through the air. Various inscriptions that matched the Hundred Dragon Bright Emperor Armor condensed on the dragon claw.
Outside, the Golden Dragon hadn't been able to act, fearing it would attract the attention of the Patrol Envoys. But deep in the Yin Burial Mountain Range, it had no such concerns.
Immediately, the phantom of the Hundred Dragon Bright Emperor Armor appeared on Bore's body surface. A hundred beams of golden light shot out from it, transforming into golden dragons that emitted earth-shaking dragon roars.
"Hmm?"
Bore's expression tightened. She quickly mobilized the Fate Rules within her body to condense an ancient and mottled Gate of Destiny, trying to suppress the Hundred Dragon Bright Emperor Armor.
But the Golden Dragon's power was too strong. As the artifact spirit of the Hundred Dragon Bright Emperor Armor, it had a mysterious connection with the main body. With Bore's current power, she simply couldn't suppress it.
"Bang."
The Gate of Destiny shattered. The Hundred Dragon Bright Emperor Armor materialized and flew out of Bore's body.
"Shua."
The Hundred Dragon Bright Emperor Armor fell into the Golden Dragon's grasp and was firmly caught.
In an instant, the Golden Dragon's body rapidly expanded, transforming into a ten-thousand-zhang-long giant dragon. Each of its dragon scales was dozens of zhang in size, its entire body shining with golden light, as if forged from divine metal.
The Golden Dragon coiled in the sky, radiating an immense Great Saint pressure, like countless ancient divine mountains pressing down on Bore, making her feel unable to move. However, she did not panic and remained very calm.
The Golden Dragon lowered its head, looking down at Bore from a height. Its eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion, as if it were looking at an ant.
"Underworld Clan woman, where did you get the Hundred Dragon Bright Emperor Armor? You'd better confess honestly, or Lord Dragon will extract your soul and burn it with divine fire for ten thousand years, making you wish you were dead but unable to die, and alive but unable to live."
