God Emperor

The star was covered in a light shield from a formation. Empress Moran flew over. The light shield opened immediately. Two eight-dragon Martial Saints rode on 300-foot-long metal kylin beasts and flew up, taking Empress Moran to a black stone city.

The inside of the star had a huge spiritual crystal mine. The formation masters of the Blue Dragon Void World used the mine, spending hundreds of years to turn this star into a place cultivators above the Fish-Dragon Realm could live temporarily.

“Greetings, Empress Moran.”

The cultivators within the city all bowed to her respectfully, including the Saints with cultivations higher than hers.

Emperor Blue Dragon was the 76th ruler of the Blue Dragon Dynasty and one of the most powerful beings of the Void World. He looked to be around 50 or 60 years old. Even though he was strong, he looked frail.

Seeing Empress Moran return, Emperor Blue Dragon put down his wine immediately. He rushed down the steps and grasped Empress Moran’s hands. “My love,” he said affectionately. “Did you take the World Spirit?”

Empress Moran glanced at him coldly. Taking her slender hands back, she slapped his face. After the loud crack, he fell to the ground.

Emperor Blue Dragon ruled the world but was slapped by Empress Moran. Thankfully, the cultivators of the Blue Dragon Dynasty didn’t see this. Otherwise, they would be so shocked.

“You failure. The Blue Dragon Dynasty is destroyed and you’re still drinking wine here?”

Emperor Blue Dragon climbed up from the ground. Instead of being angry, he tried comforting Empress Moran. “My love, don’t be angry, don’t be angry. I only have a saint soul body here to anchor the place. My true form is already in the stars near the Void World, fighting with the strong cultivators of Kunlun’s Field. I didn’t lose my will.”

Empress Moran stared at him. She realized that this emperor was only a saint soul body and not the true body.

“How many strong cultivators were sent by Kunlun’s Field?” Empress Moran asked.

“Apparently, there’s chaos in Kunlun’s Field,” Emperor Blue Dragon said. “The forces are unable to take care of themselves. Even the Ministry of War called back most of the warriors from the Void Worlds. Only a few Saints came to compete for the World Spirit, but none of the legendary figures have appeared.”

“There’s chaos in Kunlun’s Field?” Empress Moran’s eyes brightened and she smiled.

Seeing this, Emperor Blue Dragon was overjoyed. “We caught a very strong human cultivator,” he quickly said. “We pried some information about Kunlun’s Field from his mouth.”

“I heard that the revered Empress has gone missing. She might’ve died already. Kunlun’s Field has no leader. The forces are all ambitious and wish to take this chance to overthrow the First Central Empire. There’s chaos in both the humans and Savage Barren Territory. Blood flows like rivers; corpses are piled like mountains.”

Empress Moran touched her chin softly and chuckled. “There’s chaos in the Savage Barren Territory too?”

“Earlier, an unparalleled Taigu Remain in Kunlun’s Field reached the Beast Emperor Realm. He wanted to unite the beastly races and unify the Savage Barren Territory. This caused the most violent battle since the middle ages.”

Empress Moran pursed her pretty lips. “What powerful figures have come from Kunlun’s Field to compete for the World Spirit?” she asked.

“There are at least six or seven equal to me. For example, Heavenly King Qingxiao of the Ministry of War, Blood Saint Wukong and Yuanyi of the Immortal Vampires. However, the top fighters all constrain each other. It’s hard for them to participate directly in the competition. There were already four or five battles before the World Spirit even appeared.”

Empress Moran nodded. “Give me the Blue Dragon Dynasty’s emperor mark. I want to lead all the Martial Saints here and get the World Spirit back.”

The emperor mark represented Emperor Blue Dragon and could control all the power in the dynasty. However, he didn’t hesitate at all. He took the mark out and placed it in Empress Moran’s hands with a smile. “My love, when you return, I will—”

But before he could finish, Empress Moran had already left with the emperor mark.

“You’re always like this. You look down on me more and more. Who’s the true emperor of the Blue Dragon Dynasty?”

Boom!

Emperor Blue Dragon didn’t unleash his anger until Empress Moran flew out of the star with a group of Martial Saints. He pulverized the stone palace.

He didn’t dare to show any anger when Empress Moran was before him. He could only try to get on her good side. Merely touching her hand was enough to make him the happiest man.

Even he didn’t know when he’d become so cowardly and fearful of her.

…

The surface of the comet was covered in dark ice. Snowflakes floated down. It was extremely cold. Even with Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen’s cultivations, they were still chilled to the bone.

Zhang Ruochen was like an ever-standing monument. He stood on the ice, enclosing Huang Yanchen’s thin frame in his arms. The Masculine Yang Qi within him turned into flames that drove away the coldness.

“We finally escaped. What are your plans now?” Huang Yanchen looked up at Zhang Ruochen’s handsome side profile.

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were sharp and emotionless. “Who are you?”

Huang Yanchen froze. “Brother Chen, why are you asking? What’s wrong?”

Zhang Ruochen stared at her eyes from the close distance. He felt a lot of confusion. After a long while, he said what he’d been thinking. “There are too many hints of her on you. I don’t know who you are anymore.”

Earlier, when Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen had performed the Yin and Yang Sect Sword Formation, they’d worked together so well. It was like they’d practiced this many times before.

In that moment, Zhang Ruochen almost thought that the woman before him was Chi Yao from 800 years ago. Together, the two had practiced sword, traveled through the world, and gazed at the stars in the sky.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t believe that he could reach that extent while performing the Yin and Yang Sect Sword Formation with Huang Yanchen for the first time.

Huang Yanchen bit her lip. Eyelashes fluttering, she lowered her head with a pitiful expression.

“What’s wrong?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Huang Yanchen shook her head and sighed. “You still haven’t forgotten her. The one you love has always been her. I…am just her shadow, right?”

“No.”

“It’s useless even if you deny it. Don’t you hate her because you love her so much? You can’t fool me because when we made love for the first time, you called out her name.” Huang Yanchen’s tears rolled down. She was heartbroken.

Zhang Ruochen felt guilty, so he didn’t continue arguing with her. Eyes dazed, he said, “Pretend I didn’t say anything!”

Huang Yanchen didn’t press further because continuing to ask could make things worse. She could feel that there was already distance between them.

The comet flew very quickly. They grew further away from the Blue Dragon Void World and came to another starry sky. They might get lost in the vast universe if they continued to stay on the comet. They would be unable to return to Kunlun’s Field.

Zhang Ruochen used the Great Spatial Move to leave the comet. They came to the surface of a bigger lone planet.

He used the Heavenly Eyes and looked up to observe the planet’s orbit. He quickly discovered a more familiar region and calculated the general location of Kunlun’s Field.

“We’re too far away,” Zhang Ruochen said. “With our current speed, we won’t be able to return in 1,000 years. We must find a wormhole and use a Space Jump.”

“There’s a wormhole near the Blue Dragon Void World,” Huang Yanchen said. “I know its general location. It’s not too far from us.”

Zhang Ruochen shook his head. “There must be many Saints guarding it. If we hurry over, we’ll be jumping into the trap.”

He wanted to use the Spatial Transfer Formation to return to Kunlun’s Field. But with his current skills, he could only construct a basic formation and transport himself 300,000 miles each time.

In this vast universe, it was too short. Any two stars would be hundreds of thousands of miles apart, or even billions of miles.

Zhang Ruochen’s heart jumped. He thought of the Spatial Transfer Formation they had dug out at the bottom of Dragontop Mountain. He was curious as to what place was represented by the coordinates on the formation.

Right now, he’d already gotten the World Spirit. He could activate the Spatial Transfer Formation to get some answers. Saint Monk Xumi couldn’t have built a formation in the Blue Dragon Void World for no reason. It must have some extraordinary function.

Zhang Ruochen took out the Universe Spiritual Map. He tried to communicate with the Divine Sky-Connecting Tree and Blackie, but the scroll world was still closed. He didn’t receive any answer.

The formation was placed within the scroll world. Since it was sealed, he obviously couldn’t take it out.

“Brother Chen, don’t be so impatient,” Huang Yanchen comforted Zhang Ruochen. “As long as I’m with you, I will be happy even if I live on this uninhabitable comet for the rest of my life.”

Zhang Ruochen’s guilt deepened. Grabbing Huang Yanchen’s small hands, he looked with determined eyes. “Don’t worry. I will take you back to Kunlun’s Field.”

After that, Zhang Ruochen waited for Blackie and the Divine Sky-Connecting Tree to tame the World Spirit while cultivating the remaining Divine Pill’s spirit to improve more. The starry sky seemed quiet and peaceful, but danger could arrive at any time. Zhang Ruochen didn’t dare lower his guard. He had to try his hardest to become stronger.

Three days later.

Dozens of small planets flew around Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen. Each planet had a Martial Saint from the Blue Dragon Void World on it. Under Empress Moran’s orders, they surrounded the larger planet.

“They still caught up!”

Zhang Ruochen felt something. His eyes opened immediately and he stood up, looking at the starry sky above him.
