Chapter 2207: The Physique Transcending to Supreme Sainthood

Outside the imperial city, killing intent soared into the sky. The Saint army of the Infernal Court launched fierce attacks again and again. Those who wanted to kill Zhang Ruochen were extremely determined.

Zhang Ruochen walked step by step with bloody footprints. Each step he took would aggravate his injury. He’s like a lonely boat in the sea, it could capsize at any time.

The leaders of the various clans were all very aggressive. They wanted nothing more than to kill Zhang Ruochen with their own hands.

“Brother, are we just going to watch Zhang Ruochen be killed?” Xue Ningxiao frowned.

Lord Xue Chen shook his head and said, “Killing Zhang Ruochen is the main objective of the Infernal Court. At this time, no one can stop it.”

Unlike the other leaders, Lord Xue Chen did not participate in the encirclement of Zhang Ruochen. Instead, he led the cultivators of the Bloodsky Clan to defend their position against the attack of the Celestial Court Army.

In this way, he did not contribute to killing Zhang Ruochen and no one could say anything about him.

Zhang Ruochen’s identity was too special. It didn’t matter what others did. Only the members of the Xue Jue Family could not participate.

“I admire this cousin. He can disregard his own life and death for the people he cares about. Unfortunately, he is fighting against the entire Infernal Court. He is doomed to fail,” Xue Ningxiao sighed.

“People who have feelings will have weaknesses,” Lord Xue Chen said, “But how many people can completely sever their feelings?”

Even the gods had people or things they cared about.

On the other side, Luo Sha was also looking at Zhang Ruochen.

Luo Sha always had mixed feelings for Zhang Ruochen. Even though some prominent figures had told her about the prophecy of the one she was destined to meet.

However, she did not develop any deep feelings for Zhang Ruochen in her contact with him. Instead, she felt that Zhang Ruochen was her nemesis.

In the past, she had always been successful in everything she did.

Yet, ever since she met Zhang Ruochen, she had suffered losses one after another. She was really annoyed and felt that Zhang Ruochen was extremely repulsive.

But now, she saw that Zhang Ruochen was willing to sacrifice his life to save his daughter and advance fearlessly against the Army of Infernal Court alone.

This was a great shock to Luo Sha. She was deeply touched and had a subtle feeling in her heart.

Perhaps only a person like Zhang Ruochen could be called a true hero. Any woman would yearn to meet a man who could treat her like this.

Luo Sha clenched her fists and bit her red lips. She wished to stop Zhang Ruochen from moving forward.

Somehow, when she saw how badly Zhang Ruochen was injured, she felt sorry for him.

On the city walls of the imperial city, Prince Tianpeng finally expressed his thoughts and discussed them with the leaders of the Celestial Court.

“If we do nothing and just let Zhang Ruochen fight alone outside the city, others might think that we’re afraid of the Infernal Court. We will all become a laughing stock for them,” Prince Tianpeng said.

Saint Lord Wan Zhan nodded. “First, Yan Wushen sneaked into the imperial city, and then the elites of the Infernal Court attacked the Rainbow Pavilion. The Celestial Court has lost face, and we can not continue to be passive. Brother Gongsun, what do you think?”

The leaders all turned their faces and looked at a scholarly young man.

He was 1.8 meters tall and had an outstanding appearance. He exuded an elegant and free temperament, like an immortal.

His name was Gongsun Yuanhao. He was the leader of a Macroworld—Pangu Realm. He kept a low profile but gave off an unfathomable feeling.

“The Celestial Court and the Infernal Court have been confronting each other for a long time. It’s time to put up a good fight. Otherwise, what’s the point of us coming to Kunlun?” Gongsun Yuanhao said meaningfully.

“Now, Zhang Ruochen has single-handedly destroyed tens of millions of Saint soldiers of the Infernal Court. This is a great opportunity for us to make a move. Perhaps we can achieve great results, or even severely injure the Infernal Court and boost the prestige of the Celestial Court.”

Prince Tianpeng and Saint Lord Wan Zhan agreed to what Gongsun Yuanhao had said and nodded slightly.

The Celestial Court had been losing in the Battlefield of Merits in Kunlun. They desperately needed a great victory to boost their morale and reverse the overall decline.

Zhou Yu was feeling anxious after seeing that the leaders of the three worlds had reached an agreement.

‘If Zhang Ruochen was really rescued, would the sect of the Heavenly Realm be peaceful?’ thought Zhou Yu.

However, it was useless for Zhou Yu to be anxious. The elites of the sect of Heavenly Realm had all died in Ziwei Palace. His strength was not enough to change the decision of the Celestial Court.

Although he was also the leader of the Celestial Court on the surface, he was far inferior to Gongsun Yuanhao and the others.

After Gongsun Yuanhao and the other two gave the order, the army of the Celestial Court quickly gathered.

Outside the imperial city, Zhang Ruochen fought and pushed forward.

No matter how powerful the formation of the Infernal Court was, it could not stop him from advancing.

With every step forward, many cultivators of the Infernal Court would fall.

Correspondingly, Zhang Ruochen’s injuries would worsen.

Even if Zhang Ruochen kept drinking the Spring of Life, he couldn’t completely heal his injuries.

The Infernal Court had changed its strategy. It wanted to pin Zhang Ruochen down with minimal casualties.

Tens of thousands of Stone Clan elites, led by Shi Juexin, condensed a towering gray mountain. Like a planet, it pressed down on Zhang Ruochen.

Boom

Zhang Ruochen waved the Imperial Ruler and slashed out a 30,000-meter-long ray of light, splitting the gray mountain in half.

The bodies of a large number of Stone Clan cultivators exploded. The Saint Soul disappeared in ripples and they turned into granites on the ground.

But at this moment, a large number of Bone Clan cultivators attacked. They condensed into a pitch-black skeletal hand. A vast amount of Power of Darkness and Power of Death surrounded it. The surrounding space was eroded as soon as it was condensed.

The black skeletal hand hit Zhang Ruochen and sent him flying.

Even though Zhang Ruochen was wearing the Armor of the Fire God and had the Divine Mark carved by Moon Goddess, he couldn’t resist the power of the black skeletal hand. His wounds were all turned black.

Pfft

Zhang Ruochen used the Imperial Ruler to support himself on the ground. Saint Blood gushed out of his mouth, and his body swayed.

“Zhang Ruochen, you’re at the end of your rope. This day next year will be your death anniversary. But by then, I’m afraid no one will remember you,” Nether Fiend sneered.

Zhang Ruochen’s gaze was as sharp as a knife. He looked at Nether Fiend and didn’t say anything. He just waved the Imperial Ruler in his hand silently.

As long as there was one breath left, he would never give up.

Boom

The city gates of the Central Imperial City opened wide. The vast army of the Celestial Court rushed out with great vigor.

Prince Tianpeng, Saint Lord Wan Zhan, Gongsun Yuanhao, and the other leaders all rushed to the front. They showed an invincible momentum.

“Stop them. Kill Zhang Ruochen as soon as possible,” an elite of the Infernal Court ordered.

Immediately, the army of the Infernal Court changed direction and faced the army of the Celestial Court.

The army of the Infernal Court that had been mobilized to the imperial city were all experienced in battle, so they were able to remain calm.

Therefore, when the army of the Celestial Court had moved out suddenly, the Army of the Infernal Court did not seem to be too flustered. They quickly adjusted their formation and went to meet the battle.

At this time, there was no doubt that Xue Chen had shown his foresight. He held his ground and seemed to have predicted that the Saint army in the Central Imperial City would come to attack. He was very wise.

However, the power to deal with Zhang Ruochen was greatly weakened.

For a moment, Zhang Ruochen sped up and swept forward.

“Formation up.”

With a loud shout, a magnificent killing formation was suddenly activated.

The killing formation covered a radius of 500 kilometers and wrapped around Zhang Ruochen.

One after another, huge formation prints appeared like mountains, blasting Zhang Ruochen down from the sky.

BANG!

This killing formation was set up by hundreds of Array Saint Masters in the Infernal Court. It was made up of hundreds of small killing formations. They were all linked and intricate.

It could be said that this formation represented the most powerful formation power that the ten clans of the Infernal Court could unleash when they were below the Supreme Saint. If someone below the Supreme Saint could break this formation, it meant that he might be able to destroy the ten clans of the Infernal Court by himself.

How could one person fight against the entire Infernal Court?

Even all the gods of Celestial Court combined couldn’t do it.

If one was trapped in the formation, not to mention a Saint King, even a Supreme Saint of the Hundred-Shackled Realm would only be killed.

Zhang Ruochen was ready to kill.

His eyes were cold. He waved the Imperial Ruler and activated the powerful divine force within.

The Imperial Ruler had always been invincible, but this time, it encountered an obstacle.

As soon as the divine force was released, it was quickly dissipated by the killing array. Only slight ripples were created.

Whoosh

Countless array patterns interweaved. Earth, wind, water, fire, and all kinds of power were activated. They became extremely violent.

Strange and terrifying powers twined around Zhang Ruochen. Even if they wanted to stop him from breaking free, they had to refine him step by step.

Zhang Ruochen waved the Imperial Ruler again and again, but he couldn’t break the killing formation. He couldn’t break free. Instead, he was attacked by the power of the killing formation, and his vitality was greatly reduced.

Seeing Zhang Ruochen trapped in the formation, many cultivators of the Infernal Court couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief. Then they laughed loudly.

In their eyes, Zhang Ruochen was already a trapped beast. He could only be slaughtered at will. He couldn’t stir up any more waves.

“Zhang Ruochen, no matter how you struggle, it’s futile. Today, you’re destined to be destroyed,” Shi Juexin said cruelly.

Lan Xuezi sneered, “Invincible below the Supreme Saint? You’re just a joke. Whoever dares to ruin the plans of the Infernal Court must pay a heavy price. The former Lord Wentian of the Ten Tribulations was known as the Ace in Kunlun. Didn’t he end up dead as well?”

In the army of the Celestial Court, Zhou Yu was aware of Zhang Ruochen’s situation instantly. He couldn’t control his emotions, and his eyes were filled with joy.

“Zhang Ruochen, you’re going to die in the end. Everything is destined. No matter how amazing you are, you can’t defy your destiny.”

Zhou Yu was extremely happy and no longer worried.

At this moment, he really wanted to rush over and personally stab Zhang Ruochen to avenge his humiliation at the Sect of the Blood God and for the loss of his arm.

Luo Sha looked from afar. Seeing Zhang Ruochen trapped in the killing array formation and being quickly refined, her eyes couldn’t help but turn gloomy. A look of pity appeared in her eyes.

But as a member of the Infernal Court, she couldn’t do anything at this time.

“Has fate been broken?” Luo Sha whispered.

After all, if Zhang Ruochen died, how could he be her destined person?

In the killing array formation, Zhang Ruochen activated the Imperial Ruler and tried to resist the refining power of the array.

“Kongyue, I won’t let anything happen to you. I haven’t taken you to Kongyue Mountain to see the Myriad Lights.”

At this moment, Zhang Ruochen was furious, but his eyes were sad and miserable.

He had never thought that he would be so weak that tears would fall.

To be more precise, he was not weak, but he was blaming himself. He blamed himself for being useless. He couldn’t even protect his children. First, Chi Kunlun was taken away, and he couldn’t be saved. Now, even Chi Kongyue was taken away.

He failed as their father.

Zhang Ruochen couldn’t help but think of every detail he had spent time with Chi Kongyue. Every image was so clear.

He couldn’t imagine what he would look like if Chi Kongyue was taken over.

He might never recover.

He might feel guilty for the rest of his life.

He hadn’t really been spending much time with Chi Kongyue. He hadn’t fulfilled his responsibility as a father. How could everything end like this?

He couldn’t even protect the person he cared about the most. What was the point of it, if his cultivation was very high?

“No, I can’t fall yet. Kongyue is still waiting for me!” Zhang Ruochen shouted in his heart. His eyes suddenly became sharp.

Whoosh

At this moment, Zhang Ruochen’s aura suddenly soared.

144 beams of bright saint light shot out from his wounded body and covered his entire body. They were his 144 acupoints. Each of them was huge and contained a lake of Saint Qi.

At this point, Zhang Ruochen no longer had any worries. Since the power of the Saint Kinghood wasn’t enough for him to break through the obstacles and save Chi Kongyue, he would breakthrough to become a Supreme Saint.

His body had been refined to the extreme. Thus, a breakthrough was inevitable.

Boom

A vast pressure of a Supreme Saint radiated from Zhang Ruochen.

The 144 acupoints expanded further. The internal space could accommodate a planet. The Saint Qi of heaven and earth poured in crazily.

“This is the physique of… becoming a Supreme Saint.”

Seeing Zhang Ruochen’s change, many elites in the Infernal Court changed their expressions.

No one had expected that Zhang Ruochen would cultivate his physique to the level of a Supreme Saint at this time.

Every Martial Art Saint King wanted to become a Supreme Saint with his physique. He could fight against a Supreme Saint with his physique alone, which meant that he had an advantage in nature.

However, it was too difficult to reach this step. One in a hundred cultivators who had become a Saint with their physique could hardly become a Supreme Saint with their physique.

Even someone as powerful as Yan Liren failed to reach the level of a Supreme Saint with his physique back then and he almost died. It wasn’t until not long ago that he broke his shackles and reached the Supreme Sainthood with his physique as he wished. He also cultivated the powerful Immortal Blood Silkworm Physique.

Zhang Ruochen’s opportunities far surpassed Yan Liren’s. He had finally reached this step.
