Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

The King of Saint Corpse under Corpse Emperor Tianming turned and made great strides. It ran forward, charging into the darkness.

Many dozen-meter-long footprints were left on the ground.

On the other hand, the Spiritual King Saint Ancestor transformed into a gust of eerie wind and flew back into the coffin. The coffin was a Ten Thousand-pattern Saint Weapon. It shone with black light and flew up, chasing after the King of Saint Corpse.

“It’s not so easy to leave.”

Zhang Ruochen stood inside the red sun Saint Look. Controlling the power of the blood-red giant, he smashed a thousand-meter-tall mountain with a loud boom.

Then he took a step out. Zhang Ruochen and the blood-red giant passed through the broken rock and chased forward. With another strike, he hit the black coffin.

Boom.

The coffin had already been damaged by Ling Feiyu and obviously couldn’t withstand that force anymore. It actually splintered apart, turning into pieces of saintly weapon shards.

The Spiritual King Saint Ancestor cried out in pain. The surface of his skin exploded and thick bloody mist spread out.

Corpse Emperor Tianming looked back. He saw that the Spiritual King Saint Ancestor had been stopped by Zhang Ruochen and Ling Feiyu.

Right now, Zhang Ruochen and Ling Feiyu were at their peak states. They were practically able to kill whoever they met, whether god or Buddha. Who dared to go against them?

He didn’t go back for reinforcements. He continued to control the King of Saint Corpse, shattering the layers of formations in this area and retreating.

“Sword Nine.”

Ling Feiyu stood 100 feet in the air. She raised her saintly sword above her head. Thousands of runes emerged on the blade. Countless beams of Sword Qi appeared in the sky.

The stones, tiles, leaves, and petals on the ground all radiated with sword intent, practically transforming into swords.

Even shreds of Spiritual Qi condensed into Sword Qi.

The Abyss Ancient Sword shook. It broke free from Zhang Ruochen’s fingers and flew out, spinning around Ling Feiyu.

“The legendary Sword Nine… Such terrifying sword intent. Are there even five people in the entire First Central Empire who can cultivate the Sword Way to this extent?”

Sword Nine didn’t only represent power. It was also attainment in the Sword Way.

Those who could complete Sword Nine were undoubtedly geniuses of the Sword Way. They were at the peak of the Sword Way of that era.

Sword Emperor Xue Hongchen had cultivated Sword Ten. It could be said that he was already a miracle and legend. There probably wouldn’t be a beast like him within 10,000 years.

Zhang Ruochen released his Spiritual Power. He discovered that there were more than one million beams of Sword Qi and sword images in the surroundings.

“Little girl, I will fight you to the death!”

Even someone as ancient as the Spiritual King Saint Ancestor paled before Sword Nine. He directly started burning his saintly blood to use a God-connecting technique.

“Hell Ghost King Claw.”

As the saintly spell was cast, a skeletal Ghost King’s image appeared behind the Spiritual King Saint Ancestor. It struck with a white bony hand.

At the same time, Ling Feiyu’s saintly sword cut downward.

The two Saint King forces clashed violently with a boom. The white bone claw was torn apart by Sword Qi. The huge Ghost King apparition was destroyed too.

A pained cry followed, cutting across the night sky.

The Spiritual King Saint Ancestor’s saintly body was ripped into a dozen pieces. A large amount of saintly blood poured out of the broken corpse. The blood contained terrifying heat. It dropped onto the ground and sizzled, melting the dirt and stone into red lava.

When the dust settled, Zhang Ruochen saw a dozen-meter-wide gash on the ground. It was like a canyon that went straight to the bottom of the earth. It cut this land in half and was more than 300 miles long.

The formation runes in the underground of the seventh region couldn’t withstand this strike. They were all torn apart.

In the sword trail, beams of Sword Qi flowed without scattering.

The various Saints of the Central Emperor City were all shocked.

Various saintly images flew from the ground. Like stars, they shone with saintly light. They stood in the air and gazed toward the seventh region.

“It’s a Saint King fighting.”

“The Empress released the Saint Laws, stating that Saints are forbidden from fighting in the city. Whoever breaks the law will be killed. There are even more restrictions for Saint Kings. Who dares to overlook the Saint Laws?”

“Look, a blue battle cloud has risen over Heavenly King Douzhan. It’s going toward the seventh region. Heavenly King Douzhan must be taking action.”

“The Kill-All King and Lord Taizai are also hurrying toward the seventh region personally.”

In an instant, the entire Central Emperor City changed. Many famous figures appeared at the same time. The other Saints also used physical techniques and flew toward the seventh region. They wanted to know what was happening.

…

Zhang Ruochen glanced in the direction that Corpse Emperor Tianming had gone in and sighed. “We killed the Spiritual King Saint Ancestor, but we let Corpse Emperor Tianming escape. He will definitely become a great enemy in the future.”

Displaying Sword Nine greatly used up the Holy Qi within Ling Feiyu. She landed from the sky and used the sword to support herself. “That attack must have alarmed all the Saints in the Central Emperor City,” she said to Zhang Ruochen. “We must escape immediately.”

Zhang Ruochen knew that they were exposed too. Without thinking further, he reached out and grabbed Ling Feiyu’s wrist, pulling her toward him.

At the same time, the entrance to the Universe World opened.

“What are you doing?”

Ling Feiyu was shocked, her eyes wide and round. She didn’t know what Zhang Ruochen was doing. Suddenly, she realized that Zhang Ruochen’s arm had disappeared. After a dizzying spin, she opened her eyes and found herself in another spatial world.

Zhang Ruochen knew about the existence of the Heaven and Earth Chessboard. He was worried that the imperial court would find Ling Feiyu and harm her, so he let her into the Universe World temporarily.

After that, Zhang Ruochen put the Spiritual King Saint Ancestor’s remains and saintly origin into his spatial ring.

A Saint King’s corpse contained great power. If he turned it into nutrients for the Holy Carnivorous Flower to absorb, it could definitely have another breakthrough.

Zhang Ruochen hurried to the abandoned yard that the spatial maze was in. He led Huang Yanchen, Princess White Li and the others into the Universe World.

“Here so soon.”

Zhang Ruochen raised his head and looked into the dark sky. He saw beams of white light fly toward this direction like shooting stars.

Each beam of light was a Saint.

In addition, a blue battle cloud was almost above Zhang Ruochen’s head. The power that radiated from the cloud consolidated the space. Zhang Ruochen felt like he couldn’t breathe.

“Great Spatial Move.”

Zhang Ruochen used the Great Spatial Move and left this area. He appeared on a busy street more than 200 miles away.

In an instant, he collected his Holy Qi to the max. His facial features and physique changed dramatically as well. He seemed to turn into an average cultivator and melted into the crowd.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t hurry and leave. He stayed to observe.

The surrounding cultivators were all discussing the event. “Such a terrifying battle. An entire region was turned into rubble. Dozens of defensive formations were destroyed. The center collapsed into the ground.”

“There must have been two huge forces fighting viciously. I heard that even Saint Kings took part.”

…

A moment later, a large group of Saints arrived at the seventh region. More detailed information was spread.

“Heavenly King Douzhan, the Kill-All King, and Taizai have entered the battleground to investigate. From what they can see now, it was the Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race and Ancient Necromancer Race who were attacked. Their forces in the Central Emperor City were all wiped out.

“On the battlefield, they discovered pieces of the Spiritual King’s coffin and large amounts of a Saint King’s blood. Lord Taizai hypothesizes that the Spiritual King Saint Ancestor of the Ghost Cultivation Race has died.”

These two pieces of news were explosive and able to shock the entire world. It quickly spread through the Central Emperor City.

Each ancient race was the peak power of the human race. They had very great heritages.

Who dared to do this to them?

One Saint King had been killed, unable to escape. Just how strong were the people who attacked the Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race and Ancient Necromancer Race?

“The heir and a Saint King of an ancient race were wiped out. Who did the Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race and Ancient Necromancer Race anger?”

“These two races often dig other people’s tombs and have done many immoral things. They probably offended someone they shouldn’t have. You can count those people with a hand. There will probably be a result soon.”

Not long after, even more shocking news spread. “The attackers may possibly be Ling Feiyu, Saintess of the Demonic Sect, and Zhang Ruochen, the Time and Space Descendant.

“One Sword Qi cut through 300 miles of the city. The remnants of sword intent in the trail has reached Sword Nine. At present, only Ling Feiyu’s attainments in the Sword Way have reached this level in the Central Emperor City.

“A spatial maze was discovered in the battlefield. It must have been left by Time and Space Descendant Zhang Ruochen.”

All the cultivators in the city grew enthusiastic.

“Zhang Ruochen came to the Central Emperor City? Oh my, he’s my idol! Are you sure he’s here?”

The talented girls of some clans and sects were extremely excited. Like crazy fans, they hurried over to the seventh region.

Time and Space Descendant Zhang Ruochen had a mysteriousness about him. Not only was he the youngest human Saint, he was also extremely talented. He overpowered the nine Heirs. Other than that, he’d done many shocking things that terrified even the savage beasts and Immortal Vampires.

Zhang Ruochen was a household name, but very, very few people had actually seen him before.

Such a mysterious man was naturally attractive to young girls. After hearing that Zhang Ruochen had come to the Central Emperor City, the girls didn’t treat him like a wanted criminal. Instead, they were excited.

“As expected of my idol. He can’t be even more powerful than he is. It was right to teach the Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race and Ancient Necromancer Race a lesson.”

“I guessed that my idol wouldn’t fear the imperial court and would come to the Central Emperor City. He really didn’t disappoint me. I wish there was a chance for me to meet him.”

“The Saintess actually teamed up with Zhang Ruochen. Are they dating? Sob, so sad! One is my role model and one is my idol. How can it be like this?”

…

Zhang Ruochen stood in the crowd. Hearing the girls’ words, he was embarrassed. He didn’t expect this kind of scene. So his popularity was this high amongst human cultivators? No wonder his senior brother told him to lay low.
