God Emperor

“Freeze.”

Mu Lingxi stood above the magma sea. A pair of giant Ice Phoenix Wings grew from her back, and the strong Ice Qi ran out from her body and dispersed.

The burning magma froze into a dark golden color rapidly, giving out a chichi noise.

There were extraordinary lines of golden veins inside the black rock.

The rock was almost as hard as some low class True Treasures.

The closer to its central area, the stronger the god power contained in the rock became, and the more golden veins with high quality could be seen.

That’s why Zhang Ruochen decided to start to collect the rocks from the center.

Zhang Ruochen opened the Scroll World, and let Elephant-swallowing Rabbit and monster ape out.

The Abyss Ancient Sword and Taotian Sword controlled by Zhang Ruochen cut the rock into about 33-meter-long stones, which were later carried into Scroll World by Elephant-swallowing Rabbit and monster ape.

Elephant-swallowing Rabbit and monster ape were both Half-Saints with great power, so they carried with an extraordinary speed.

Only for half a day, the two humans and two monsters dug out a giant pit about five kilometers in diameter in the center of the sea.

And Zhang Ruochen didn’t stop there. He had dug almost a thousand meters deep, but hadn’t seen its bottom as yet.

The deeper he went down, the stronger the god power contained in the rock became.

“Zhang Ruochen, look over here!” said Mu Lingxi.

Zhang Ruochen walked to her, and saw an unclear half-meter-long black piece in the dark golden rock wall.

There were lines of beautiful mysterious veins on it, shining with strong power waves.

“Could it be a piece of the armor from the god corpse?” Zhang Ruochen gave a delightful look.

“It must be. Falling in magma, being burnt during all uncountable years from ancient time until now, and this piece hasn’t been melted. It must have a very special texture. If we could refine it again, it would definitely turn into a powerful divine weapon.”

Mu Lingxi was about to smash the rock and take the armor piece.

Zhang Ruochen stopped her immediately. “Don’t touch it now. Let’s dig it out together with the rock, and put it into the Scroll World first.”

“Why?” Mu Lingxi asked, puzzled.

Zhang Ruochen said, “Death Zen Elder once said, the blood insects in Ghost God Valley are the corpse insects inside of the god corpse. As blood insects carrying Evil Death Qi, the armor of the god corpse must carry some Evil Death Qi, too. Divine Sky-Connecting Tree could purify Evil Death Qi. So, we should be careful now.”

Mu Lingxi and Zhang Ruochen cut the rock surrounding the piece of armor, brought it to the foot of Divine Sky-Connecting Tree in Scroll World, and then smashed the rock.

When the armor piece was exposed in the air, strong Evil Death Qi was given out and condensed into black clouds of dead Qi as expected.

Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi were well prepared for this. They retreated and weren’t touched by Evil Death Qi.

Sha sha!

A rustling could be heard as the branches of Divine Sky-Connecting Tree waved slightly. As every leaf kept breathing in and out, the Evil Death Qi on the armor was soon purified.

Mu Lingxi nodded with both hands folded in front of her chest. “If we could find more armor pieces, and with some other materials, we may make some armor with extraordinary defensive power.”

“Eh!”

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes shined with unusual delight, and he walked closer to the armor piece.

There was a dark red soft membrane in the dented place of the armor piece. Inside the membrane, a few drops of liquid were seen flowing.

Zhang Ruochen released his spiritual power carefully, through the membrane and into its inside.

With a sudden boom, a strong strand of Qi surged out from the inside of the membrane, and dispersed the spiritual power of Zhang Ruochen with a heavy strike.

Zhang Ruochen stepped back with surprise. He stared at Mu Lingxi, and said, “Divine blood.”

“What?” Mu Lingxi asked in astonishment.

Zhang Ruochen said, “There was a blood membrane on the armor, inside which is liquid, which is divine blood.”

Mu Lingxi’s eyes were brightened as well. She couldn’t hide her delight, and said, “There are at least 40 or 50 drops of divine blood in the membrane. We’ve hit the jackpot! You have to know that, even in our Mu Family, a famous ancient family, only one or two drops of divine blood can be used to cultivate the best talents in every decade. Those old men are so cheap.”

Zhang Ruochen gave her a smile. “No deity has ever been born in Kunlun’s Field since the ancient times. Even for famous ancient families, they have to live off their past gains. The more divine blood they use, the less they own. And divine blood has so many usages: refining Saint Pills, condensing Saint Sources, comprehending the Way of the Saint King … none could be done without it. It’s already extreme for your Mu Family to use one or two drops to cultivate young talents every ten years.”

“Humph!”

Mu Lingxi pouted her lips, still feeling quite unhappy about those old men from Mu Family.

Zhang Ruochen stared at the piece of armor and said. “The power contained in divine blood was extremely powerful. Don’t break the membrane before we find the right container for it.”

Only one drop of divine blood would penetrate a Hundred-pattern Saint Weapon. So containers at the same level with Hundred-pattern Saint Weapons couldn’t be used for containing divine blood.

Only those who were at the level of saint could use the Inscription of Concealing to conceal the power of divine blood.

Now, they had to wait for Blackie. After all Blackie was the weapon spirit of the Universe Spiritual Map and had extraordinary power inside the Scroll World.

It shouldn’t be difficult for it to conceal the power of divine blood.

“Now that we were able to find one armor piece, we can definitely find other armor pieces.”

Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi left the Scroll World, went into the pit at the center of magma sea and continued to dig.

Elephant-swallowing Rabbit and monster ape heard that there was divine blood in the rock, were greatly encouraged, and worked really hard to carry giant rocks as heavy as mountains into the Scroll World without a break.

They continued to dig for half a day.

Zhang Ruochen had dug deeper, and found three armor pieces, each with divine blood.

On the largest armor piece, there was a blob of divine blood as big as a fist. At least 200 drops could be seen in it, roughly estimated.

Finding this armor piece was like winning an extraordinary treasury, the wealth of which was incomparable to other Half-Saints.

Zhang Ruochen had found a piece of saint bone along with armor pieces. Although it was just as big as a human head, extraordinary power was contained in it, which made it priceless.

Invincible Might dispersed rapidly after the Death Zen Elder had taken the god corpse away. Even the fragile space recovered rapidly.

Therefore, other people had climbed over the cliff to the magma sea.

Ghost King Bloodmoon was the first to arrive.

She flew from afar like a strand of black smoke, landing at the edge of the pit in the center of magma sea, and condensing into a slender beautiful figure.

“Who’s this intruder? Don’t you know that my lord occupies this place?”

Elephant-swallowing Rabbit shouted before he could see clearly that it was Ghost King Bloodmoon.

With divine blood and divine bones buried underneath, it would struggle with anyone who wanted to steal from it. It was no joke.

Ghost King Bloodmoon turned and glanced at Elephant-swallowing Rabbit. With a wave of her arm, a strand of icy cold ghost Qi gushed out, carrying Elephant-swallowing Rabbit away and dropping it afar.

“Hua!”

Ghost King Bloodmoon changed into a beautiful blurring shadow, and flew to the bottom of the pit. Soon she saw Zhang Ruochen cutting rocks.

Zhang Ruochen felt the icy cold ghost Qi, then spoke without raising his head, “Ghost King Bloodmoon, you are here right on time. Come to help. With you, a ghost king, helping us, we should be able to dig out more treasures.”
