# Chapter 2702: True Self Is Me
The battle situation deteriorated, and in an instant, life and death would be decided.
Everyone could see that this time, Zhang Ruochen might truly fall, because Yin Yuanchen, Shang Zihong, Lan Ying, and Yuan all possessed the power to extinguish all his vitality.
The will of the four great experts to kill him was extremely firm.
However, those Great Saints who had stepped into the Supreme Realm present, along with the gods in the sky, wore solemn expressions, constantly paying attention to the number of Zhang Ruochen's Sacred Dao Rules.
The distance to the extreme number of two Eon Numbers was only a thousand rules away, exceptionally close.
Compared to the trillion count, a thousand Sacred Dao Rules seemed very insignificant, almost negligible. But for Zhang Ruochen at this moment, the difference of a thousand rules was the difference between heaven and earth.
This was a gamble with heaven and earth!
The power of heaven and earth was suppressing him.
If he broke through, he would have surpassed heaven.
If he couldn't break through, Zhang Ruochen could still be called the number one under heaven, but only the number one under heaven. It was precisely to remove the words "under heaven" that he was fighting to the death, using the pressure of death to stimulate his own potential.
Xue Jue War God and Xue Hou stared intently, their nerves taut.
Even with the mental state of gods, they could not remain calm and composed.
Zhang Ruochen let out a long roar, and from his back flew densely packed purple lightning vines, wrapping around his body. Within the vines, Mo Yin's figure flickered in and out of visibility. Red, black, and white three war swords formed a sword formation, meeting the Great Path Desolate Heaven Seal that Shang Zihong had unleashed.
"Boom!"
Mo Yin's cultivation could not be called weak, and the sword formation she formed was extremely sophisticated.
But it only lasted for the time of one breath before being shattered by the Great Path Desolate Heaven Seal, all the vines completely broken. The three war swords, originally belonging to three Angel Emperors, flew backward, one of them passing by Mo Yin's waist, nearly injuring her.
Facing Shang Zihong's strongest strike, who dared to clash head-on?
Not to mention Mo Yin's cultivation, even Yin Yuanchen and Que would have to temporarily avoid the sharp edge.
"Master, lend me the Sundial."
Mo Yin extended her right arm, and her entire arm transformed into dozens of lightning bolts, rolling up the Sundial and blasting toward the Great Path Desolate Heaven Seal. Dense Time Imprint light points flew out together with the Sundial.
Lan Ying's Annihilation Asura sword cut Zhang Ruochen's blood-drenched body into two sections, a large amount of killing Qi invading into Zhang Ruochen's body, destroying his vitality.
Of course, Lan Ying also paid a price, struck by a phantom of the River of Time, instantly losing a thousand years of lifespan.
His body weakened, and he rapidly retreated backward.
Even while retreating, he did not forget to release the Heavenly Sword Soul, controlling the six swords, sealing off Zhang Ruochen's six directions, not giving him a chance to escape.
Mo Yin and the Sundial fell from the sky, her body covered in blood mist.
Mo Yin had paid a great price, finally breaking the Great Path Desolate Heaven Seal, but she had also lost her combat power.
Zhang Ruochen was now only a hundred Sacred Dao Rules away from the two Eon Numbers.
Even closer!
But the Sacred Dao Rules had stalled, no longer increasing.
In the sky, Yin Yuanchen's cold voice sounded: "One Eon Number, heaven and earth can still tolerate. Two Eon Numbers, heaven and earth cannot tolerate. There's no need for you to continue charging, I'll send you on your way."
"Clang!"
The Wu God Sword became a thousand zhang long, like a sword-shaped mountain peak, stabbing straight down, erupting with overbearing and unparalleled power fluctuations.
Zhang Ruochen's two body sections recondensed, unable to refine the killing Qi that had invaded his body. He clasped his hands together, performing a forbidden art, burning his lifespan, the power fluctuations on his body rising step by step.
The Mountain-Hiding Demon Mirror became as large as a lake, pressed out by Zhang Ruochen's palm, colliding with the tip of the Wu God Sword.
"Boom!"
Space showed signs of shattering.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen's combat power was even stronger than before, blocking the Wu God Sword.
But his opponents were not just Yin Yuanchen.
Yuan, standing in the ghost clouds, spread her arms, and before her, Sacred Dao Rules condensed into thousands of bone spears, breaking Zhang Ruochen's defense, the bone spears striking him one after another.
With each one that landed, Zhang Ruochen spat out a mouthful of blood.
But surprisingly, the attacks from the Eon-level representative figures failed to pierce through Zhang Ruochen's physical body.
The bone spears pierced through skin and flesh but were blocked by bone.
Without a doubt, under the condition of burning his lifespan, Zhang Ruochen's physical defense had become even more abnormal, allowing him to stand there and withstand Yuan's attacks.
"Damn it! If I don't activate the Supreme Sacred Artifact, can I not kill him?"
A string of bells wrapped around Yuan's arm flew out, circling around her body. With each circle, the twelve bells doubled in size, the Supreme Inscription Runes on them becoming brighter and brighter.
The sound emitted by the bells affected the Sacred Souls of all cultivators from both Heavenly Court and Hell.
"Soul-Devouring Bells!" Bore glanced at her.
"Boom!"
Yin Yuanchen landed on the hilt of the Wu God Sword, releasing the Penetrating Heaven Dao Domain, continuously drawing in the Sacred Qi of heaven and earth, transmitting it from his feet to the sword body, pressing the Mountain-Hiding Demon Mirror and Zhang Ruochen straight toward the sea surface.
"Your Sacred Dao Rules have stopped increasing. Even if you burn all your lifespan, you cannot resist the suppression of heaven and earth." To kill the burning-lifespan Zhang Ruochen, Yin Yuanchen also performed a forbidden art, cutting his wrist, using his own Sacred Blood to drive the Wu God Sword.
"Clang clang clang clang!"
The twelve Soul-Devouring Bells had all become the size of bronze bells, linked in a string, flying toward Zhang Ruochen.
The bells drew closer and closer.
To Zhang Ruochen's ears, the sound was earth-shaking, shaking his soul and startling his spirit.
Zhang Ruochen gritted his teeth, while resisting the influence of the Soul-Devouring Bells' sound, he used his powerful will to communicate with the seven Soul Swords in his Qi Sea.
Just as the twelve Soul-Devouring Bells were about to strike Zhang Ruochen's body, suddenly, a graceful and slender beautiful figure appeared before Zhang Ruochen, condensing into Bore's face and figure.
"Bang!"
Bore swung the Fate Determination Staff, striking the Soul-Devouring Bells, sending them spinning back.
Bore's intervention surprised all the cultivators.
Yuan, standing in the ghost clouds above, was especially shocked, finding it hard to believe.
"Staff of Fate, Wood that Decides Heaven. Change of Time and Space, Division of Light and Dark."
Countless Fate Rules flowed on the Fate Determination Staff in Bore's hand, transforming into a towering divine tree divided into light and dark, propping up the Mountain-Hiding Demon Mirror, and also propping up the Wu God Sword and Yin Yuanchen that were suppressing the Mountain-Hiding Demon Mirror.
"Zhang Ruochen, this Goddess will help you break through. Come with me."
Bore grabbed Zhang Ruochen's large hand, flying away from the Fate Determination Staff and the Mountain-Hiding Demon Mirror, stepping on a winding Nether River beneath her feet, riding the waves, soaring straight into the high sky.
Dark clouds filled the sky, ghost patterns densely covered, but they could not block the Nether River.
Zhang Ruochen's eyes stared intently at Bore's sharply defined profile, breathtakingly beautiful, with too much shock in his heart. This shock was not how grand or spectacular it was, but originated from the subtle details, from the depths of his inner emotions.
In front of countless cultivators from Heavenly Court and Hell, with countless eyes watching, Bore actively held his hand, flying in the howling dark wind cloudy sky. This scene was like a dream, too unreal.
In an instant, they had already flown to tens of thousands of zhang high in the sky.
"Seeking death."
After a brief moment of surprise, Yin Yuanchen withdrew the Wu God Sword, then formed a sword formula with his fingers, pointing toward the Nether River in the sky.
"Whoosh!"
The Wu God Sword became as huge as a mountain again, locking onto the auras of Bore and Zhang Ruochen, flying and stabbing toward them.
Bore looked back, stopped, and struck out with a palm.
The True Self Gate, dazzling and brilliant to the extreme, appeared before her palm, like a shield, heavily colliding with the Wu God Sword.
"Boom!"
In the eyes of the spectators below, the light gate and giant sword in the sky collided, erupting with light ten times brighter than before. A large number of light waves spread out, illuminating hundreds of thousands of miles of sea.
A muffled sound came from Bore's mouth. She looked back at Zhang Ruochen, a trace of tenderness appearing in her eyes, and struck out with a palm toward him.
Zhang Ruochen instinctively raised his hand, colliding with her palm.
This palm strike between the two did not have powerful force, but when the two palms joined, the True Self Gate shone brightly, sending the Wu God Sword flying back to the sea surface.
"True self is in me, true self is me."
Bore recited this line, and the True Self Gate passed from her right palm, through her graceful body, flying to her left palm, suspended in the position between her and Zhang Ruochen's hands.
Their bodies rapidly spun around the True Self Gate.
"Not good, the Goddess is using the True Self Gate to help Zhang Ruochen break through." Yuan exclaimed in shock.
"So what if she's a Goddess? Whoever blocks me from killing Zhang Ruochen must die."
Lan Ying's gaze was firm and his killing intent fierce. His cultivation state had already recovered, and he controlled the six swords, breaking through the air toward the True Self Gate.
Whether from Heavenly Court or Hell, the cultivators on both sides erupted with earth-shaking uproar.
The intervention of the Fate Goddess surprised cultivators from all sides.
"Zhang Ruochen's Sacred Dao Rules have started increasing again! Is the power of the True Self Gate so miraculous?" Luo Shengtian exclaimed in shock.
Luo Sha's delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, seeing some subtle things that only women could understand. She said, "The True Self Gate is inherently mysterious and marvelous, representing fate, representing a corner of heaven and earth. With its power enhancement, it can weaken heaven and earth's suppression of Zhang Ruochen a bit. Imperial Brother, lend me your eyes."
"What do you mean..."
Luo Sha had already struck a palm into Luo Shengtian's back.
Her long hair flew up, the Divine Crystal Crown falling to the ground. The vast and surging evil demon Qi within her body, like a divine river, surged into Luo Shengtian's body, rushing toward his eyes.
It must be known that Luo Shengtian's two eyes had refined two active Divine Throne Planets.
At this moment, his two eyeballs burned, erupting with light as hot as a star, his eye sockets like two lakes containing a large amount of divine Qi.
"What... are you doing... ah..."
Luo Shengtian could hardly bear this power, the flesh on his face burning, feeling as if his head was about to explode.
Luo Sha's gaze fixed on the Heaven-Piercing Floating Tower on the distant sea surface.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
...
Two thick pillars of flame shot out from Luo Shengtian's eye sockets, crossing tens of thousands of miles of sea, striking the Heaven-Piercing Floating Tower.
Like a heavenly bell being struck, the Heaven-Piercing Floating Tower was knocked down.
Yin Yuanchen, who was about to fly into the sky to cut down Bore and Zhang Ruochen, looked back, just in time to see the Heaven-Piercing Floating Tower fall, sinking toward the seabed.
With the Heaven-Piercing Floating Tower fallen, the suppression on Zhang Ruochen's Eternal Return One Dao Domain instantly disappeared.
