Chapter 2172: For the Bright Moon, One Could Lose Eighty Thousand Miles of Heavenly River

The Blood God Temple trembled, and an immensely tall and imposing figure slowly walked out from within, radiating a vast and profound divine might.

This person had eight enormous blood wings on his back, clad in crimson armor that seemed stained by blood. He appeared very young, but his eyes were extremely deep, like two black holes, filled with the vicissitudes of time.

He was the founder of the Blood War Divine Temple, a powerful ancient god from the same era as the Moon God, Jia Tianxia.

Even across the entire Paradise Realm, Jia Tianxia was a top-tier great figure who could be counted on, wielding significant influence.

At this moment, between Jia Tianxia's brows, a terrifying murderous aura seeped out, his gaze extremely gloomy. Bian Zhuang War God's contempt had deeply angered him.

If it were Bian Zhuang War God's true body that had come, he naturally wouldn't say anything. But a mere avatar dared to be so arrogant, it was far too disrespectful.

"Bian Zhuang, let me, the Master, see just how great the divine abilities of the foremost among the Heavenly Palace's Nine War Gods truly are."

Jia Tianxia's gaze was sharp as a blade. His eight blood wings flapped, releasing a sky-covering blood energy.

Countless rules were mobilized, merging with the blood energy to condense into a sky-covering giant hand, carrying unmatched divine might, striking directly at Bian Zhuang War God.

Bian Zhuang War God was completely unconcerned, sneering contemptuously, "A mere parlor trick, and you dare to show off before me?"

As he spoke, the Heavenly River beneath Bian Zhuang War God's feet surged violently, transforming into a giant dragon that crashed into the sky-covering giant hand.

"Bang."

Though the divine power carried by the sky-covering giant hand was immense, upon being struck by the Heavenly River, it instantly shattered.

Then, the Heavenly River's momentum did not diminish, continuing to sweep toward Jia Tianxia, unstoppable.

A look of solemnity flashed in Jia Tianxia's eyes. The eight blood wings on his back rapidly expanded, stretching tens of thousands of miles long, like clouds hanging from the sky. Every feather glowed with an eerie blood light, extremely sharp, like divine swords.

"Rustle."

The blood wings swept across the sky, tearing through the void and also severing the Heavenly River.

But in doing so, the Weak Water that composed the Heavenly River took the opportunity to attach itself to the blood wings, like bone-gnawing maggots, impossible to remove.

Weak Water was an extremely special divine water in the world. Nothing could float on it; even a single feather would sink.

At the same time, Weak Water possessed astonishing corrosive power, reputed to dissolve all things, even threatening gods.

If not for this, the Heavenly Court Realm would not have used a Heavenly River made of Weak Water for defense.

As the guardian of the Heavenly River, Bian Zhuang War God had long been able to control Weak Water at will, using it to perform all sorts of unimaginable techniques.

If fighting within the Heavenly River, Bian Zhuang War God could almost stand undefeated.

Seeing Bian Zhuang War God and Jia Tianxia locked in fierce combat, the gods gathered at the Truth Sea couldn't help but retreat, making enough space for their battlefield.

At the same time, some gods acted to teleport away the Saint Realm cultivators below, preventing them from being caught in the divine battle.

Given the strength of Bian Zhuang War God and Jia Tianxia, even a single strand of divine power accidentally leaked would be something Saint Realm cultivators could not withstand.

...

At the summit of Truth Mountain, Zhang Ruochen's injuries had fully healed, and he leisurely opened his eyes.

Though he had been severely wounded this time, with both his physical body and Saint Soul nearly collapsing, he had gained immense benefits. Now, after re-condensing, the strength of his physical body and Saint Soul had greatly increased, radiating an aura of indestructibility and immortality.

As long as he was willing, he could now forge the most supreme indestructible sacred body, break through to become a Great Saint, and it would be far from an ordinary indestructible Great Saint.

"The Truth Realm Form, fused with the Heart of Truth, has indeed become very different—unpredictable, so much so that even I can't fully understand it."

Scanning the Truth Realm Form behind him with his spiritual power, Zhang Ruochen thought to himself.

His Truth Realm Form should still be at the Star Sea Without Shore level, but in essence, it far surpassed ordinary Star Sea Without Shore, containing mysteries beyond imagination.

With a thought, Zhang Ruochen withdrew the Truth Realm Form into his body. He needed to contemplate it thoroughly to be able to use it perfectly.

Having obtained the Truth Realm Form, he could now unleash ten times the attack power at any time, something even the Ten Divine Transmission Disciples of the Truth Divine Temple had yet to achieve.

Zhang Ruochen stood up, cupped his hands to the Truth Temple Master, and said, "Thank you for your guidance, senior, which allowed me to refine the Heart of Truth."

"That is your personal fortune, not much related to me. Stay here for now; don't leave in a hurry," the Truth Temple Master said.

Zhang Ruochen asked, "Why is that?"

The Truth Temple Master pointed a finger, and a massive crystal formed before him, reflecting the scene outside.

"This is… two gods in battle!" Zhang Ruochen said, quite surprised.

The Truth Temple Master said, "Your ascent of Truth Mountain has drawn the attention of many gods. And your acquisition of the Heart of Truth is a result some gods are unwilling to see."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruochen understood immediately. Not to mention others, the Paradise Realm faction certainly didn't want him to continue living.

"So powerful, he can even contend with Jia Tianxia," Zhang Ruochen thought, feeling shocked.

Jia Tianxia was the strongest of the Blood War Divine Temple, one of the ancient gods of Paradise Realm, a chess player of heaven and earth. Who was this figure who could rival him?

The Truth Temple Master said, "That is Bian Zhuang War God, guardian of the Heavenly River. And, it's just an avatar."

"Just an avatar?"

A look of astonishment appeared on Zhang Ruochen's face. "Then Jia Tianxia, is he also an avatar?"

With his current cultivation, Zhang Ruochen simply couldn't see through the true nature of Jia Tianxia and Bian Zhuang War God. If not for the crystal formed by the Truth Temple Master using Truth Rules projecting the divine battle, he probably wouldn't even be able to see their forms.

The gap in cultivation was too great.

The Truth Temple Master smiled and said, "Jia Tianxia is the true body of a god."

Zhang Ruochen was left speechless. The Heavenly Court was truly full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, one mountain higher than the next, heavens beyond heavens, reminding one to always maintain a humble, reverent, and striving heart.

The title of Number One Under Great Saint seemed impressive.

But among Great Saints, there were countless strong ones. Who among those who had shed a hundred shackles was weak? Who didn't have their own legends?

Just Qing Sixue alone, Zhang Ruochen had no confidence in confronting her at the Saint King realm.

The Truth Temple Master said, "Don't look so defeated. Bian Zhuang War God is an ancient god, known as the foremost of the Heavenly Palace's Nine War Gods, and bears the heavy responsibility of guarding the Heavenly River. Without such combat power, the Heavenly Court Realm would have been secretly attacked by Hell Realm gods countless times."

"Why did they start fighting?" Zhang Ruochen asked.

The Truth Temple Master said, "Because of you."

"Me? Temple Master, don't joke. I have no connection with Bian Zhuang War God at all," Zhang Ruochen said with a bitter smile.

"You don't, but the Moon God does."

Zhang Ruochen showed a hint of a smile. "This is interesting. Could the Moon God's charm be great enough to move Bian Zhuang War God's heart?"

"Hearing you say that, do you think the Moon God doesn't have such charm? To tell you the truth, back then, the Moon God was hailed as the most beautiful and graceful in the Heavenly Court, and countless gods were captivated by her."

The Truth Temple Master, despite his fierce appearance, was very easygoing with Zhang Ruochen, not treating him as a mere Saint King. The two communicated freely, chatting about everything without restraint.

Zhang Ruochen was astonished. "A god's state of mind is perfectly complete. How could they still fall into emotional entanglements?"

In Zhang Ruochen's understanding, he had always believed that gods severed emotions and desires, abandoning everything to fulfill their great aspirations or pursue the supreme Dao.

Just like Chi Yao.

Even her children didn't seem that important to her.

The Truth Temple Master shook his head. "The perfection of the state of mind is not about severing emotions and desires, but about acting as one pleases. That fellow Bian Zhuang is something of a unique flower among the gods. When reliable, he can steadily guard the Heavenly River. When unreliable, he dares to abandon the Heavenly River and charge alone into Hell Realm, with no one able to stop him."

"As for him and the Moon God… Hmph, who knows? In any case, he claims that if the Moon God agrees to ride a celestial boat with him on the Heavenly River, watching the starry river, he is willing to join the Guanghan Realm. 'For the bright moon, one could lose eighty thousand miles of Heavenly River'—that came from his mouth."

Zhang Ruochen was speechless, sighing inwardly. That Bian Zhuang War God was indeed quite the oddball.

For the bright moon, one could lose eighty thousand miles of Heavenly River. He wondered what expression the gods of the Heavenly Palace had when they heard this. Did they think of replacing the god guarding the Heavenly River?

"Since the Moon God's return, why hasn't anyone dared to openly target the Guanghan Realm? It's all because of fear of Bian Zhuang War God. His reputation was earned through bloodshed."

Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen couldn't help but fix his gaze on Bian Zhuang War God. Though the other party acted for the Moon God, this time, he was undoubtedly helping Zhang Ruochen as well.

Zhang Ruochen knew very well that after obtaining the Truth Divine Temple's reward, many would want to harm him, perhaps even gods personally intervening. He had truly been pushed to the forefront of the storm.

Above Truth Mountain, Bian Zhuang War God's avatar and Jia Tianxia fought fiercely. Perhaps to reduce destruction, the two had already entered the Void Space.

Jia Tianxia grew more alarmed as he fought. With his strength, facing just an avatar of Bian Zhuang War God, he couldn't gain any advantage.

With a flick of his hand, Jia Tianxia offered up the Shura Hell Diagram.

The scroll unfurled, transforming into a vast world, presenting a magnificent red-yellow continent. Thick blood energy shrouded the continent, with countless blood rivers, blood lakes, and blood seas densely packed, looking extremely shocking.

Countless inscriptions could be seen flowing on the continent, emitting divine power beyond imagination.

In the battle at Moon God Mountain, the Moon God had seized the Shura Hell Diagram from Erjia Blood Ancestor, but after the battle, both sides reached some agreements, and she returned the treasure to Jia Tianxia.

After all, the Shura Hell Diagram was the Blood War Divine Temple's supreme treasure, not to be lost.

In comparison, when Jia Tianxia activated the Shura Hell Diagram, the power he could unleash was undoubtedly far greater than Erjia Blood Ancestor's.

Thick blood pillars shot up from the Shura Continent, striking at Bian Zhuang War God.

These blood pillars all contained immense divine power, capable of shattering vast starry skies.

"A mere broken diagram dares to show off before me? Watch me smash it to pieces."

Bian Zhuang War God did not dodge but instead charged forward.

He swung the Tianpeng Bell, meeting the incoming blood pillars.

"Bang."

Countless inscriptions flowed on the surface of the Tianpeng Bell, releasing a hazy chaotic metallic light, indestructible, shattering every blood pillar.

The next moment, the Tianpeng Bell rapidly expanded, becoming comparable to a great world.

With unmatched strength, Bian Zhuang War God directly hurled the enlarged Tianpeng Bell.

"Boom, rumble."

The Tianpeng Bell was immensely heavy and extremely hard, instantly piercing through the Shura Continent, causing the entire world to show signs of collapse.

Jia Tianxia quickly released more divine power, even using the Profound Meaning he controlled, injecting it into the Shura Hell Diagram to stabilize the Shura Continent.

"Suppress for me."

Jia Tianxia growled, pushing the Shura Hell Diagram's power to its limit.

All the blood flowing on the Shura Continent rose up, transforming into an endless sea of blood that engulfed Bian Zhuang War God.

This blood had been collected from countless slain gods, filled with resentment and evil energy, extremely malevolent, capable of corroding even divine bodies.

Bian Zhuang War God's body suddenly dissolved, transforming into the vast, boundless Weak Water, wrapping around the Tianpeng Bell and sweeping in all directions.

"Boom."

In an instant, the endless sea of blood was shattered by the Weak Water formed by Tianpeng War God.

Even the Shura Continent was torn apart, its land turning to ash.

"Bang."

Jia Tianxia was violently impacted, his body flying backward, divine blood spraying from his mouth. Three of his eight blood wings exploded, and the remaining five were stained with divine blood, becoming true blood wings.

The Shura Hell Diagram reappeared, now clearly showing several cracks, having suffered considerable damage.

Seeing the Weak Water formed by Bian Zhuang War God charging at him again, Jia Tianxia dared not fight head-on. He immediately withdrew the Shura Hell Diagram and rapidly retreated.

In an instant, Jia Tianxia exited the Void Space and returned to the Blood God Temple.

Without a moment's pause, Jia Tianxia piloted the Blood God Temple, preparing to tear through the void and leave Truth Heaven Domain.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Bian Zhuang War God's roar echoed.

Though Jia Tianxia was fast, the Tianpeng Bell still struck the Blood God Temple.

"Crack."

The Blood God Temple emitted a sound of breaking, immediately collapsing a large section.

Under these circumstances, Jia Tianxia dared not linger further, disregarding all face, and immediately fled.

The Weak Water gathered, reforming into Bian Zhuang War God's figure. He withdrew the Tianpeng Bell, looking at the fleeing Blood God Temple, and sneered, "You run fast enough. No skill, yet you love to show off. Jia Tianxia, you'd better stay holed up in the Blood War Divine Temple and not come out again. Otherwise, I'll beat you every time I see you."

Seeing this, the gods present were all shocked. Many looked at Bian Zhuang War God with awe.

"How could this be? Jia Tianxia is an ancient god who controls Profound Meaning, yet he couldn't even defeat an avatar of Bian Zhuang. Just how powerful is Bian Zhuang?" the Black Heart Demon Lord thought, utterly stunned.

Only now did he understand what the foremost of the Heavenly Palace's Nine War Gods represented—true, unmatched invincibility, standing at the pinnacle of the starry universe.
