God Emperor

A pained cry shocked the other Blood Saints and also traveled to the ears of Qi Sheng, Crown Prince Motian, and the Immortal Vampires.

“I’ll go check what happened. You all continue to fight Zhang Ruochen. Do not let him escape again.”

As the Immortal Goddess spoke, she jumped off of the ice mountain and flew up. She flew toward the pained cry as a beautiful shadow.

Since the Immortal Goddess would go personally, Qi Sheng and Crown Prince Motian were reassured. No matter what changes occurred, she could probably resolve it.

The inside of the Death God Light was filled with chaotic Saintly Way power. Half-Saints would be crushed into bloody mist instantly if they stood inside.

Boom, boom.

Zhang Ruochen waved his battle sword and struck 13 times. He clashed with the Emperor-kill Demonic Sword 13 times.

Emperor Motian controlled the sword technique by riding the sword and waited at ease for his opponent. Each time his sword sent Zhang Ruochen flying, it could quickly consolidate energy and strike again.

Not only was the Emperor-kill Demonic Sword a Supreme Saint ancient weapon, it was closer to a Ten-thousand-pattern Saint Weapon. It was seventh on the Thousand-pattern Saint Weapon list. Each strike could split mountains.

If I don’t break through the Death God Light’s repression, I’ll always have the lower hand. Seems like I must activate the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron.

Zhang Ruochen took it out, holding it in his palm. “Blackie, Holy Carnivorous Flower,” he roared. “Send Holy Qi into me and help me.”

The Holy Carnivorous Flower had already reached the upper-level Saint Realm. It had sizeable Holy Qi within it. The Holy Qi rushed out like a river and flowed into Zhang Ruochen’s Saintly Meridians.

Blackie reached out at the same time, pressing on the Tianxin Meridian on Zhang Ruochen’s back. It sent Holy Qi in.

“Xueming Death Print.”

Below, four Death Knights used the strongest print of the Xueming Death Print. Boundless Holy Qi formed four huge Death God images that attacked the people inside the Death God Light.

At that moment, Qi Sheng held his breath too, wondering, The power of four Xueming Death Print is enough to kill someone in the Absolute Land Realm. Can Zhang Ruochen still fend it off?

If no accidents occurred, this could destroy Zhang Ruochen.

Crown Prince Motian stood in the distance and pulled back the Emperor-kill Demonic Sword. He also felt extreme pressure. Looking at the four Death God images, it was like four Death Gods had been brought back to life. It was terrifying.

The four Death God images were about to attack Zhang Ruochen and the others. Suddenly, a flash of gold light tore the Death God Light apart.

Various ancient runes hovered in the light. They shone with terrifying power like stars. A bronze cauldron floated in the center of the golden light. At the same time, a huge golden Emperor Ming image appeared. It was ten times larger than the Death God image and tore the four apart with a boom.

“Oh!”

“Such…strong power…”

…

The four Death Knights all spat out blood and were thrown back. They were all heavily injured.

The four ice mountains under their feet exploded. Each one turned into bits of ice. The four ancient corpses were exposed and flew out.

The four corpses included two humans, one crystal cobra and a blood-red wolf head the size of a palace.

The four corpses flew in the air. Affected by a mysterious force, they all opened their eyes.

Qi Sheng and Crown Prince Motian didn’t realize the changes in the four ancient corpses. They were all stunned by the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron. They could only watch as Zhang Ruochen’s group broke through the spatial restraint.

“Zhang Ruochen actually has such a strong ancient weapon… Miscalculated!”

Qi Sheng had thought of all sorts of possibilities, including Qing Mo. If Qing Mo used the silver kitchen knife, he would use the God-killing Cross Shield against her. Thus, he thought that Zhang Ruochen would definitely die under this siege.

However, the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron’s appearance destroyed this balance. All of Qi Sheng’s calculations were ineffective too. It was now impossible to capture Zhang Ruochen again.

Boom!

A fierce Holy Qi wave spread from a cluster of ice mountains in the distance. A red and black ball of light exploded. Waves dozens of meters high rose up on the surface of the sea.

The Immortal Goddess whizzed out of the red and black light. Her face was sheet white. Flying above the waves, she sent a message to all the Saints here. “Dead corpses back to life. Run.”

Getting this message, Qi Sheng’s expression changed again. Even the Immortal Goddess was so terrified. What exactly had happened?

He abruptly felt danger on his right. He saw a huge blood-red wolf head flying in the air. It opened its maw, revealing two rows of sword-like fangs, wanting to swallow him.

“What is that?”

Qi Sheng struck the wolf’s forehead with the God-killing Cross Shield, leaving a cross-shaped mark. The wolf head was thrown back.

Just as Qi Sheng collected the shield, a huge cold force hit his back. Bones all over his body cracked and he was sent flying. His back kept bleeding. It was like his organs were all torn apart. There was also a burst of cold Qi darting within him.

He landed on the sea surface with difficulty and turned around, looking back.

A human-shaped corpse pounced toward him. The corpse’s palms were covered in blood. Evidently, it was the one who’d hit Qi Sheng’s back.

“What is this thing?”

Qi Sheng reached out, striking the corpse with a ball of Nanling Dragon Fire.

The corpse seemed to fear fire. When it touched the Nanling Dragon Fire, it let out a pained cry. Then it fled, charging like a gray streak at a Death Knight.

Zhang Ruochen’s group stood in the air, watching the battle with wide eyes. This was too strange. The ancient corpses sealed in ice suddenly came back to life.

Just then, four Blood Saints had been killed. One Death Knight was swallowed by the cobra corpse. No one knew if he was still alive.

Mountain after mountain exploded, releasing more ancient corpses. More and more corpses came back to life. It was like the ghosts of the netherworld were awoken together.

One of the mummified human-shaped corpses had a pair of black wings. It flew into the air, pouncing at Qing Mo. The man was extremely old, with a head of white hair. It was like wrinkly skin had been pulled over a skeleton. There were many menacing lines.

“Don’t come at me… I don’t taste good… No…”

Qing Mo cried in fear. She hid behind Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen, curling up.

Huang Yanchen struck with the Heir Stamp. Zhang Ruochen also brought the Abyss Ancient Sword down. They hit the human corpse at the same time.

Even the Heir Stamp was ineffective against the human corpse. It only made the corpse sway a little.

Thud.

Zhang Ruochen’s full-power strike only cut down some black feathers.

“Such terrifying strength.” Zhang Ruochen was shocked inwardly.

One could imagine that the man’s physical body had been at a crazy state when he was alive. At least, Zhang Ruochen’s body couldn’t compare to him.

Swish, swish.

The corpse seemed to be bent on getting Qing Mo. It reached out a claw again, going for Qing Mo’s neck.

Qing Mo was in a panic. She took out her kitchen knife and swung randomly with her eyes closed. She actually cut the corpse’s arm into a dozen chunks.

Zhang Ruochen hit a palm print on the corpse’s right shoulder, sending it flying horizontally.

Whoosh.

Qing Mo was still swinging with her eyes closed. The sword almost hit Zhang Ruochen’s neck. Getting cold sweat in fear, Zhang Ruochen quickly moved away from Qing Mo.

Huang Yanchen moved forward to stop her. Qing Mo finally calmed down and stopped swinging the sword. Her chest rose up and down, making her seem pitiful and intimidated.

There were more than 100 corpses that had come back to life. Most were attacking the Immortal Vampire Saints. Some had also flown up to target Zhang Ruochen’s group.

“This is too terrifying. We must leave immediately.”

Zhang Ruochen activated the remaining Holy Qi within him. Manipulating spatial power, he used the Great Spatial Move and brought the group to hundreds of miles away instantly.

Activating the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron had used up too much of his Holy Qi. The remaining bits were only enough for one Great Spatial Move.

After getting hundreds of miles away, Zhang Ruochen turned around. He could still see the cluster of ice mountains. Holy Qi waves were extremely strong inside it and beams of power surged out. The sea tossed angrily with black waves.

Blackie gasped. “Thankfully, my self-restraint is strong enough and I suppressed the desire within me. Otherwise, I would be in the same boat as the Immortal Vampires.”

Everyone rolled their eyes. If Huang Yanchen and Ao Xinyan hadn’t restrained it earlier, it definitely wouldn’t have suppressed its greed.

“The Immortal Vampires will definitely suffer great losses after getting besieged by the corpses,” Ao Xinyan said. “I wonder how many can escape alive.”

A long scream came from the ice mountains. Qi Sheng’s six wings were all unfurled. He charged in Zhang Ruochen’s direction with shocking speed.

There were dozens of corpses chasing after him.

“Qi Sheng discovered us,” Blackie said. “He wants to drag us down too.”

One hundred miles was neither far nor close for a Saint. They could cross it in an instant.

“Let’s go.”

Zhang Ruochen, Huang Yanchen, Ao Xinyan, Qing Mo and Blackie all used their top speed to escape into the distance. If they were surrounded by the ancient corpses, they would meet the same end as the Immortal Vampires.

While escaping, Zhang Ruochen used all his might in running circulation techniques. He absorbed Spiritual Qi to recover his Holy Qi.

Huang Yanchen and Ao Xinyan sent the Heir Stamps behind them to attack Qi Sheng and stop him from catching up.

After a long while, Zhang Ruochen finally recovered some Holy Qi. He used the Great Spatial Move again, bringing the group 100 miles away again.

After enlarging the gap this time, Zhang Ruochen’s group fled like crazy without waiting for Qi Sheng to catch up. They completely left the ancient corpses in the dust.

As they all panted for breath, they finally stopped. The group found an ice mountain sealing a headless corpse and climbed onto it. Taking out saint stones, they focused on absorbing the Holy Qi to recover to their peak state as soon as possible.

The Abandoned Deep Sea was honestly too dangerous. They had to be at their strongest state at all times to have a bigger chance at surviving.

As long as the ice mountain didn’t shatter, the corpse inside wouldn’t awaken. There wasn’t any danger in cultivating on the mountain.

While they were cultivating, Blackie climbed to the peak. It stood up and looked around with its big round eyes.

Suddenly, excitement filled its round eyes. Staring at a huge mountain dozens of miles away, it yelled, “Found it! Zhang Ruochen, found it! We’re too lucky. We found it!”
