God Emperor

Chapter 2287: Pill Snatching

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Dozens of Supreme Saints in the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm had cultivation levels that far surpassed other cultivators, so they were the fastest. They charged at the front and fought fiercely.

“The Yanluo Clan wants the Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill. Whoever wants to fight for it, they should know their limits first!” Yan Huangtu charged at the front and let out a thunderous voice that reverberated throughout the universe.

Beside him, there were four Yanluo Supreme Saints in the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm. Each of them had a strong aura.

To subdue Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill, the Yanluo clan was clearly well-prepared. With the strength of five Supreme Saints in the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm, they could sweep away anyone who refused to submit.

The other Supreme Saints in the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm did not go with them. Instead, they went to seize the Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill and the King Grade Saintwill Pill.

Swoosh

Swoosh

…

Lan Ying, Wujiang, and Luo Shengtian were also very fast. They each rushed toward a Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill, just as Zhang Ruochen had guessed at the beginning.

Prosperous Black-robe High Priest smiled and said, “The Yanluo clan is indeed supreme. With just one sentence, even a proud figure like Lan Ying would withdraw from the fight. It seems that Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill will be in Yan Wushen’s pocket.”

The elixir attendant said, “Lan Ying, Yan Huangtu, Wujiang, and Luo Shengtian are all peerless geniuses. Unfortunately, they have cultivated the Saintwill by studying the most profound path. Even if they can get Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill, it won’t be of much significance.”

“As for other cultivators, let’s not talk about the fact that they can’t subdue the Elixir Spirit of Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill. Even if they succeed, the pill alone won’t be able to condense much of Saintwill.”

Prosperous Black-robe High Priest nodded, “Only when Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill falls into the hands of Yan Wushen and Zhang Ruochen can it arouse some expectations. Now it seems that the challenge has fallen on Yan Wushen.”

The elixir attendant understood that the so-called expectations and challenges referred to condensing a single Grade Three Saintwill and doing things that others couldn’t.

Only Yan Wushen, Zhang Ruochen, and Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill had a chance.

Even if other cultivators got the Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill, it would be in vain.

The elixir attendant said, “The gods should have the same expectations. However, the possibility of condensing a single Grade Three Saintwill is too slim. I think the gods are more looking forward to whether there are cultivators who can use the Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill to fuse a Grade Two Saintwill. It has been many years since a Grade Two Saintwill was born in the Infernal Court.”

Prosperous Black-robe High Priest said, “The ten Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pills refined by the Grand Supreme Elixir Master are extremely rare. Only 300,000 years ago, a Grand Supreme Elixir Master in the Celestial Palace refined a few. With its help, perhaps one or two of the four people, Lan Ying, Yan Huangtu, Luo Shengtian, and Wujiang, can successfully combine a Grade Two saintwill.”

The elixir attendant looked in the direction of the river of pill qi and said, “I think Zhang Ruochen has a better chance of fusing with the Grade Two saintwill. But… he has to get one Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill first.”

“For him, it will be a huge challenge. The competition for ten Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pills is the most intense and cruel. Many Supreme Saints in the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm have joined hands,” Prosperous Black-robe High Priest said.

The appearance of the Saintwill Pills whetted the appetite of the gods in the Infernal Court. They were very interested in the outcome of the battle.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Dozens of Supreme Saints at the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm turned into beams of light and quickly caught up to the 100,000 top-tier Heaven Grade Saintwill Pills. However, they didn’t stop or collect them. Instead, they charged forward with all their might.

Top-tier Heaven Grade Saintwill Pills were priceless. Each one could be sold for more than a Godstone.

However, they weren’t of any help to them.

It wasn’t worth it to waste time and lose the chance to take the Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pills.

Whoosh

Zhang Ruochen used the Great Dimensional Shift. Every time he disappeared, he would appear hundreds of miles away. A moment later, he surpassed Yan Huangtu, Lan Ying, and the others and charged to the front.

Lan Ying smiled coldly. “You’re a Neverwilt Realm Supreme Saint. What’s the point of rushing so fast? Collecting more Heaven Grade Saintwill Pills and selling them for Godstones is the right way.”

The Elixir Spirit of a Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill was comparable to a Supreme Saint in the initial stage of the Thousand-Koan Realm.

He knew this. Even though Zhang Ruochen was fast, Supreme Saints in the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm didn’t see him as a threat.

Could a Supreme Saint of the Neverwilt Realm take a sacred pill of the Thousand-Koan Realm all by himself?

Yan Wushen was also on par with Zhang Ruochen.

Yan Wushen also used the Great Dimensional Shift. His speed wasn’t any slower than Zhang Ruochen’s, he raised his voice and laughed. “Zhang Ruochen, if you want to take a Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill, you should bring Xia Yu with you. As long as you can achieve your goal, it’s not shameful to borrow external power.”

“What if I want to take the Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Yan Wushen’s pupils were constricted. He couldn’t figure out whether Zhang Ruochen was telling the truth or not.

At that moment, Zhang Ruochen waved his sleeve. A large number of Marks of Time gathered into tidal light spots and flew toward Yan Wushen.

Whoosh

Yan Wushen stretched out a golden finger and drew a space crack that was more than 10 miles long. He put all the Marks of Time light spots in and dissolved them.

Taking this opportunity, Zhang Ruochen was one step ahead and caught up with 10 Quasi-Emperor Grade Sacred Pills.

Seeing that Zhang Ruochen still had no intention of stopping, Yan Wushen thought to himself, ‘What is Zhang Ruochen up to? Does he really have the ability to take Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pills or even Emperor Grade Saintwill Pills? Unless… ‘

Yan Wushen could only think of one possibility. The Supreme Artifact of the Immortal Vampires was in Zhang Ruochen’s hands.

Of course, it was almost impossible.

No one knew Zhang Ruochen’s strength better than Yan Wushen. In his opinion, before Zhang Ruochen broke his first shackle, there was still a big gap between him, Lord Bladehell and Lady Wind of the Immortal Vampires.

How could the Immortal Vampires’ gods give the Supreme Artifact to him?

Besides, even if Zhang Ruochen had the Supreme Artifact, he couldn’t defeat the Elixir Spirit at the peak of the Thousand-Koan Realm. If he really fought it head-on, he would most likely be killed instantly. It was simply courting death.

Zhang Ruochen found his first target.

It was a Saintwill Pill of Quasi-Emperor Grade. The Elixir Spirit appeared as a Yin-yang Jasmine. Two bloomed flowers, one Yin and one Yang. It was as lovely as the sun and the moon.

It should be very suitable to help me integrate the Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill.

An extremely dangerous aura approached just as this thought flashed through Zhang Ruochen’s mind. The scorching airwave appeared to melt his Neverwither physique.

It was a flower from the Yin-yang Jasmine. It pressed down on him from above.

The flower was like a divine sun. It was very similar to the heat from Lord Ming’s Stellar Sword. It could fuse with everything and destroy the Neverwither physique.

The flames from the flower were Divine Purification Flame of Emperor Flame level.

Boom

Zhang Ruochen had to raise his arm and unleash an absolute Yang Dragon-Elephant Prajna Palm Strike in a hurry. It collided with the flower of the Yin-yang Jasmine.

A fierce collision.

A terrifying power crashed down on him and sent him flying more than a hundred miles.

Zhang Ruochen’s blood-red robe was riddled with holes from the Divine Purification Flame. Some of his hair was on fire, and his right arm was in great pain. Luckily, he had a powerful Demigod-level physique, so he wasn’t injured. He was just in a sorry state.

‘This is the power of a Thousand-Koan Realm Supreme Saint. I’ll probably have to cultivate the Hundred-Shackle Realm to fight it head-on,’ Zhang Ruochen thought.

The cultivators of the Infernal Court Realm were all laughing behind him.

“What’s the point of rushing so fast? You’re overestimating yourself. How dare you try to take the Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill?” Wujiang snorted. His face was full of mockery and ridicule.

“Zhang Ruochen was indeed skillful to block the Elixir Spirit’s attack.”

Xu shook his head. “A Thousand-Koan Realm Elixir Spirit isn’t so easy to deal with. Zhang Ruochen overestimates his own strength. However, that Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill suits me.”

Including Xu, four Supreme Saints of the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm rushed toward the Yin-yang Jasmine.

“You only know how to show off. Aren’t you embarrassed?” Lord Xia Yu glanced in the direction of the Yin-yang Jasmine. Then, she and Supreme Saint Yi Xuan rushed toward another Quasi-Emperor Grade Sacred Pill.

The four Supreme Saints of the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm came within a hundred miles of the Yin-yang Jasmine. They sensed the powerful ripples of power from the Quasi-Emperor Grade saint’s Pill. They all stopped and took out a Regal Artifact each.

Before they could act, they heard Zhang Ruochen’s voice coming from afar.

“Get out of the way, all of you.”

The four Supreme Saints looked for the voice and saw Zhang Ruochen standing at the other end of the void space. He was pointing a Violet Gourd at them… No, at the Yin-yang Jasmine.

“You told us to get out of the way, and we should follow? What a joke,” an Ashura Supreme Saint in the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm said coldly.

Another Corpusian Supreme Saint of the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm suggested, “He’s just a clown in the Neverwilt Realm. Why don’t we cripple him first and then use our own abilities to take the Sacred Pill?”

“He’s indeed a hindrance here.”

Xu’s eyes were fixed on the Violet Gourd in Zhang Ruochen’s hand. Suddenly, he felt a slight fluctuation in the space. His expression changed, and he retreated quickly like lightning.

Whoosh

36 million Dimensional inscriptions at the mouth of the gourd were activated by Zhang Ruochen. They instantly turned into a circular dimensional array that covered hundreds of miles.

“Not good!”

“Why is there a dimensional array?”

The other three Supreme Saints at the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm realized that something was wrong. They immediately burst out with their fastest speed, trying to escape from the dimensional array.

Boom

Within a few hundred miles, space collapsed and contracted, forming a powerful suction force that gathered at the gourd’s mouth.

The Quasi-Emperor Grade Sacred Pill’s Elixir Spirit, Yin-yang Jasmine, was the first to bear the brunt of the suction force. Its massive body rapidly shrank and was sucked into the gourd.

Apart from that, more than ten King Grade Saintwill Pills within the dimensional array were also sucked in.

Even though Xu had escaped from the dimensional array, he has still been pulled back hundreds of meters by the Violet Gourd’s suction force. His body was completely out of his control.

After stabilizing himself, Xu felt his scalp go numb. He stared at the gourd in Zhang Ruochen’s hand from afar and immediately fled. He didn’t dare to stay there any longer.

“What a terrifying gourd. Although it’s not a Supreme Artifact, it’s even more terrifying than some Supreme Artifacts. It looks like this is Zhang Ruochen’s biggest trump card.”

The feeling of weightlessness that was out of his control just now made Xu feel very uncomfortable.

The other three Supreme Saints at the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm had escaped from the dimensional array. They stabilized themselves and retreated immediately, not daring to get too close to Zhang Ruochen.

Fortunately, the huge body of the Yin-yang Jasmine blocked most of the suction force of the Violet Gourd. Otherwise, the three of them might not have been able to escape.

“Damn it! What kind of gourd was that of Zhang Ruochen? The suction force is too strong. It can’t be blocked at all.”

“I think it’s a top-tier Regal Artifact, and it has the property of dimension. If you meet Zhang Ruochen in the future, you’d better be careful. Don’t fail miserably.”

“Don’t be too nervous. In my opinion, the gourd is only within 300 miles. The suction force is the strongest. Moreover, it will take a long time to activate once. It’s nothing to be afraid of. If we launch a long-range attack or don’t give him a chance to activate the gourd, he’ll have to take a beating.”

Just now, Zhang Ruochen had only activated the dimensional array at the mouth of the gourd. He hadn’t activated the power of the Golden Sun of Destruction and the stellar core in the gourd, so he hadn’t released Supreme Power. The devouring power was also very limited.

“This gourd… is interesting…”

The surprised Lady Wind witnessed that from far away.

A Quasi-Emperor Grade Sacred Pill had been taken away so easily. Many cultivators became alert and thought about strategies to deal with the gourd.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t stop. He rushed toward another Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill.

The Elixir Spirit of the Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill was also a flower. It appeared to be a hand. It clenched its four fingers and stretched out its index finger. It emitted a bright red light.

The flower was called the Immortal Cactus.

The cultivator who fought with the Immortal Cactus was Wujiang of the Nether Clan.

The shockwaves from the battle between Wujiang and the Immortal Cactus turned into waves of energy that spread thousands of miles away.

There was no one else besides Wujiang.

No cultivator dared to fight with him.

With Wujiang’s powerful cultivation, it was obviously not easy to subdue an Elixir Spirit at the initial stage of the Thousand-Koan Realm. One man and one flower. The fierce battle shook the space violently.

Zhang Ruochen had only flown 500 miles away when he was noticed by Wujiang.

When Zhang Ruochen had used the Violet Gourd to collect the Quasi-Emperor Grade Sacred Pill, it had caused a great fluctuation. Of course, Wujiang had noticed it, so he did not dare to underestimate him.

“This Quasi-Emperor Grade Sacred Pill is mine. You’d better not get your hands on it.”

Wujiang transmitted his voice in a threatening tone.

Zhang Ruochen wasn’t afraid of him. He said coldly, “You’ve spent so much time, but you still haven’t subdued the Elixir Spirit. I don’t think you can do it. You’d better step aside and let me do it.”

Zhang Ruochen said Wujiang couldn’t manage.

How could it be so easy to subdue the Elixir Spirit?

Not only couldn’t destroy the Elixir Spirit, but he couldn’t damage the pill itself.

It was harder than defeating a Supreme Saint in the initial stage of the Thousand-Koan Realm or even killing a Supreme Saint in the initial stage of the Thousand-Koan Realm.

“How dare you speak to me that way? Who gave you such courage to do so?”

Wujiang felt that Zhang Ruochen was deliberately provoking him. His eyes turned cold. During the fight with the Immortal Cactus, Wujiang put his hands together in front of his chest. A dark brilliance bloomed behind him, condensing 100 hand shadows in a circular formation.

Swoosh

100 black hand shadows each struck out a palm, turning into 100 palms that attacked Zhang Ruochen across the air.

Each palm grew larger and larger.

Finally, it seemed to turn into 100 Mount Wuzhi, releasing a bone-chilling power that completely enveloped Zhang Ruochen.
