# Chapter 3372: Great God Suppresses God King
"Netherworld Yellow Spring!"
Zhang Ruochen activated the sword dao rule divine patterns within his body using the six divine swords, manifesting the Netherworld Yellow Spring Divine River beneath his feet.
It closely resembled the Netherworld Yellow Spring Divine River that God King Guo had manifested, but the essence was completely different.
The divine river Zhang Ruochen manifested was formed from the convergence of sword qi. Under the enhancement of third-rank sword dao, its power surpassed even a Great Perfection Infinite Divine Ability.
"Hua!"
The six swords slashed out, cleaving through the endless green ghost fire surging forward.
His battle intent soared skyward, the Netherworld Yellow Spring Sword River clashing with the ghost fire, surging divine power roiling violently.
Some ghost fire attempted to approach Zhang Ruochen and the two patriarchs, but was knocked aside by the Lesser Yang Divine Mountain and Lesser Yin Divine Sea.
The two dueled for ten breaths of time, neither able to gain the upper hand. It was utterly unimaginable that this was a battle between a God King and a Great God at the Qiankun Infinite Middle Stage.
Soul attacks continuously struck Zhang Ruochen, most blocked by the Bodhi Tree and the attached armor. The remaining soul attacks could not break through Zhang Ruochen's soul defenses.
"A dignified God King, having cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years, yet cannot even defeat a Great God like me. If I were you, what face would I have to continue living in this world?"
Zhang Ruochen deliberately provoked, seeking to enrage God King Guo.
The more furious his opponent became, the more flaws he would expose, giving Zhang Ruochen an opening to exploit.
Though God King Guo was clearly very weak, he stubbornly maintained his superior posture, treating Great Gods as playthings in his palm.
Zhang Ruochen, wielding various supreme treasures with surging blood qi, remained cautious, never missing any opportunity to weaken his opponent.
In terms of mentality, Zhang Ruochen held the absolute advantage.
Zhang Ruochen waved his hand, sending out a Time Divine Dragon. White light flashed, dragon roars shook the ears, charging into the ghost fire in an active counterattack.
Then came the second, the third...
"Old Ghost Guo, today I, this Realm Venerable, will take your life and refine your soul into a God King Great Pill." Zhang Ruochen continued provoking, extremely arrogant. An uninformed observer might think he was the God King and his opponent the Great God.
God King Guo's figure flickered in and out of the ghost fire. "If I had not been repeatedly wounded by Hao Tian's divine power, how could I allow a junior like you to be so arrogant?"
Before entering the Sword God Hall, God King Guo had already suffered repeated injuries, his soul depleted by half.
When he reappeared, his aura was even weaker than when he first entered the Sword God Hall. Clearly, he had encountered something else in the Sword Soul Pool.
Just moments ago, his God King Ghost Body had been torn apart by Hao Tian's divine power.
In his current state, though his cultivation remained at Qiankun Infinite Middle Stage, his combat power had severely declined, perhaps no match for some figures at Qiankun Infinite Initial Stage.
Ghost fire converged toward God King Guo's figure.
The God King Ghost Body reformed, with brilliant fire clouds above his head and active divine patterns around his body, as he closed in to attack Zhang Ruochen.
Divine abilities would be weakened by the Sword Source Light Rain, soul attacks blocked by the Bodhi Tree and attached armor. Only close-quarters attacks could threaten Zhang Ruochen.
His doing so played right into Zhang Ruochen's hands.
The moment God King Guo stepped within eighteen zhang, the entire world became different. The Origin Divine Sea appeared beneath his feet, and above his head, a divine mountain bristling with war swords.
The divine mountain radiated Truth Divine Light and slammed down violently.
God King Guo sensed something amiss and retreated rapidly. But from all directions of the Origin Divine Sea beneath his feet, massive waves surged, overturning heaven and earth, enveloping him at the center.
"Trifling tricks!"
God King Guo had absolute confidence in his cultivation. He struck upward with one palm, the giant palm imprint causing the Lesser Yang Divine Mountain to shake violently.
The divine mountain seemed to transform into the center of the universe, manifesting an endless sea of star light.
At the same time, countless billions of divine swords flew out from the divine mountain, like a swarm of bees leaving their nest, all slashing downward.
God King Guo's expression shifted slightly. He unfolded his Divine Realm World, not expanding it too much, merely forming a ghost fire sphere to protect his body.
"Bang! Bang!"
The impacts were dense and unceasing.
Over the years, Zhang Ruochen had collected a large number of war swords. Regardless of their grade, he placed them all on the Lesser Yang Divine Mountain, preparing for the reforging of the Abyssal Ancient Sword.
"Hua la!"
On the Origin Divine Sea, a liquid figure identical to Zhang Ruochen condensed and punched out heavily, sending God King Guo flying along with the ghost fire sphere.
God King Guo's body crashed into the Origin Divine Sea, pulled by an icy, bone-piercing force.
Origin power was decomposing his ghost body.
"Attacks of this level cannot harm me."
God King Guo roared, billions of rule divine patterns surging from his body, tearing the Origin Divine Sea apart.
Massive God King battle qi exploded like countless stars detonating simultaneously, destructive power sweeping in all directions.
"Hua!"
A primordial world pressed down, crushing the God King battle qi on his body.
Within the primordial world, Zhang Ruochen rushed out holding the Earth Cauldron, striking heavily to shatter the ghost fire sphere formed by the God King World, collapsing a large area of God King Guo's ghost body.
Flowing light divine patterns appeared beneath God King Guo's feet as he shot out like lightning.
The series of exchanges just now had all occurred within eighteen zhang.
Within that close distance, there was a divine mountain, a divine sea, a primordial world—all dao methods contained within.
Even with God King Guo's cultivation, he had suffered losses and had to flee, retreating from that area.
Retreating several li away, God King Guo seemed to regain some rationality, staring at Zhang Ruochen. "Your divine path is indeed very extraordinary."
Zhang Ruochen felt extremely exhilarated, blood boiling within him. The undigested pill qi rapidly integrated into his physical body, various divine phenomena manifesting around him.
He said, "Again!"
Long-range attacks could not harm Zhang Ruochen, and close-range attacks were suppressed. Never in history had there been such a frustrated God King.
God King Guo no longer wished to continue fighting. He looked back at the Sword Soul Pool.
"Continue fighting!" he commanded.
From the Sword Soul Pool, a wisp of black mist flew out, forming a long bridge that rushed into God King Guo's body, merging with his soul, condensing into a mist armor on the surface of the God King Ghost Body.
God King Guo's aura instantly swelled by a large margin.
"Not good!"
Chi Yao, along with the four Taixu Ancient Gods of Heavenly Beginning Civilization and the Thirteen Guardians, had long activated the God King Battle Formation.
Within the Yin Yang Eighteen Formations, the image of a towering Yaksha Clan God King walked out, holding a war halberd, striking at God King Guo.
God King Guo laughed darkly. "Netherworld Unreturned One!"
He activated the divine ability created by Netherworld Yellow Spring Great Emperor, awakening the Ancestor's light shadow, holding the sun and moon, stepping on the Netherworld Yellow Spring. Beside the Netherworld Yellow Spring, white strange flowers bloomed, filling the entire Sword God Hall with floral fragrance.
The Ancestor's light shadow of Netherworld Yellow Spring Great Emperor punched, shattering the image of the Yaksha Clan God King.
God King Guo strode toward Zhang Ruochen, the Netherworld Yellow Spring Great Emperor following closely. His momentum rose step by step, causing the earth to shake and space to tremble incessantly.
Zhang Ruochen did not panic. He took out two fragmentary steles, holding one in each palm.
The fragmentary steles flew out automatically, combining into one, forming a pitch-black, thick stele body that suppressed the Netherworld Yellow Spring Yin River.
All the white strange flowers quickly withered and died.
The Ancestor's light shadow of Netherworld Yellow Spring Great Emperor dimmed, its momentum growing weaker and weaker.
In the end, this was a divine ability.
As long as it was a divine ability, it would mobilize rule divine patterns.
And the God-Defying Stele specialized in extinguishing all divine patterns and inscription patterns in the world.
With the complete God-Defying Stele deployed, its power far exceeded that of the previous fragmentary steles.
The rule divine patterns released by God King Guo continuously dissipated, turning into nothingness. Even his cultivation realm began to decline, as if about to fall back to Qiankun Infinite Initial Stage, or even the Great God realm.
The Ancestor's light shadow of Netherworld Yellow Spring Great Emperor dissipated, and the Netherworld Yellow Spring Yin River became faint.
An Infinite Divine Ability was broken silently.
Outside the War Dharma Divine Hall, under the urging of Chi Yao and the others, the divine shadow of the Yaksha Clan God King condensed again, radiating God King aura, attacking God King Guo.
God King Guo's face twisted, his laughter never ceasing.
From his Divine Realm World, a long whip flew out. The whip was jade-white, flowing with talisman patterns, emitting extreme yin-cold qi.
"Is this his war weapon?"
Zhang Ruochen sensed a dangerous aura. It seemed God King Guo also had many trump cards.
The whip lashed out, turning into a white light that flew dozens of li, shattering the divine shadow of the Yaksha Clan God King.
On the divine mountain flowing with God King blood beside the War Dharma Divine Hall, including Chi Yao, all the deities suffered soul injuries, their faces pale, bodies swaying unsteadily.
Deities who had not reached the Great God realm fell directly to the ground, unable to get up.
"It's the Ghost Emperor Soul-Severing Whip, containing the residual power of the Ghost Emperor!" a Taixu Ancient God from Heavenly Beginning Civilization said, his eyes filled with fear.
The Ghost Emperor he spoke of was a former supreme powerhouse of the Ghost Clan, the master of Fengdu Ghost City before Fengdu Dadi, a figure from several epochs ago.
This Soul-Severing Whip was forged by the Ghost Emperor and a Dao Tool Tai Shang from that era, specifically used to punish disobedient members within the Ghost Clan. It could be called a god-killing weapon, with devastating power against souls.
One lash could scatter a True God's soul into oblivion!
God King Guo laughed darkly, in a very frenzied state. Under the urging of divine power, the Ghost Emperor Soul-Severing Whip lashed out again, talisman light flickering everywhere.
Zhang Ruochen's expression was grave. He raised the Earth Cauldron, God-Defying Stele, Celestial Pivot Needle, six swords, Bodhi Tree... all his war weapons.
Just then, a fishing line descended from the sky.
The fishing line was densely covered with talisman patterns, intertwining with the Ghost Emperor Soul-Severing Whip.
God King Guo stopped laughing, looking toward the War Dharma Divine Hall.
There, Bai Qinger stood atop the War Dharma Divine Hall, holding a fishing rod. Her slender and exquisite figure was wrapped in talisman light.
Countless spiritual power imprints were on the fishing rod, as if fixed in space, motionless.
"The Star Sea Angler actually left this to you!"
God King Guo's divine power erupted fully, attempting to retrieve the Ghost Emperor Soul-Severing Whip, but it was tightly entangled by the fishing line.
A sense of crisis came.
From the corner of his eye, God King Guo saw tens of thousands of sword rain flying toward him.
Holding the whip with one hand, he formed a palm imprint with the other, shattering all the sword rain.
Behind the sword rain, Zhang Ruochen's figure appeared, holding the God-Defying Stele, striking heavily against God King Guo's arm, sending him flying back hundreds of zhang, the ground cracking continuously beneath his feet.
"Boom!"
The Earth Cauldron flew in from another direction, striking God King Guo in the back.
God King Guo flew forward, the mist armor on his body shattered.
"Bang! Bang!"
Zhang Ruochen gave him no chance to catch his breath, nor allowed him to escape beyond eighteen zhang. One war weapon after another descended.
Finally, amid God King Guo's roar of rage, his ghost body was shattered.
Zhang Ruochen did not give him the opportunity to reform his ghost body. All the ghost mist was collected into the Earth Cauldron, the God-Defying Stele pressed down on the cauldron's mouth, and he began refining it directly.
"Is it finally over?"
Bai Qinger secretly breathed a sigh of relief, her spiritual power severely depleted, the divine light in her eyes dim.
It was not over.
From the Sword Soul Pool, large amounts of black qi surged outward. A second enormous eye, like a black pool, manifested. The two sinister eyes seemed about to rush out of the Sword Soul Pool.
