Chapter 2422: The Only Survivor

“He blocked it. He… he blocked it!”

Supreme Saint Yuan Fei and Supreme Saint Yuan Li beside Lod Yuan Tian were dazed. The light pillar shot out from the Shenwu Mark between Zhang Ruochen’s eyebrows. It shattered the Hand of Darkness and hit their hearts and minds.

“Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen are so powerful. It seems that even if Wujiang, Yan Huangtu, and Lan Ying have broken through to the Thousand-Koan Realm, they still have to avoid Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen’s attacks. The Battle of Celestial-Hunting has limited their strength.” Supreme Saint Yuan Fei said as he smiled bitterly.

Although Wujiang, Yan Huangtu, Lan Ying, and the others couldn’t bring their trump cards to the Battle of Celestial-Hunting, they couldn’t defend against a Dark Star or a Macroworld?

Lord Yuan Tian said, “Do you still think that Yan Wushen isn’t good enough for your sister?”

Both Supreme Saint Yuan Fei and Supreme Saint Yuan Li shook their heads.

There’s only one Yan Wushen who appeared in a Yuanhui period. He was in the Hundred-Shackle Realm, fighting against Banshi Isshou Realm. He was absolutely stunning.

No one in the Saint Realm could suppress Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen unless a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint appeared, just as Wargod Bloodximius had said.

Ghost Master’s body began to burn with spectral flame, he said, “I didn’t expect that Zhang Ruochen’s body was sealed with a Macroworld. When his body was hosting the Macroworld, he shouldn’t have reached the Supreme Saint Realm. How did he do it?”

Many gods helped Zhang Ruochen to hide the secrets of heaven. The Ghost Master couldn’t figure out the secrets hidden in Zhang Ruochen’s body.

Besides, there were marks of gods on the wall of Zhang Ruochen’s sea of Qi. Ordinary gods couldn’t find the secrets in his sea of Qi even if they captured him. At most, they could only kill him.

Asurendra Barasingha narrowed his eyes, he said to himself, “With only the Five-element Chaotic Body, he couldn’t possibly host a Macroworld in the Saint King Realm. Did Zhang Ruochen inherit Saint Monk Xumi’s mantle and possess the Canon of Dimension in his body? Yes, that must be it.”

Yan Wushen was able to absorb the Dark Elemental and host a Dark Star. He possessed the Half-Buddha Physique and had used the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Saintwill to succeed.

Luo Shengtian was able to refine the two lively Divine Planets into his eyes because he had a pair of natural-born with divine eyes. The so-called divine eyes were no different from the eyes of gods. There was a huge space inside.

Even so, the two planets that were comparable to stars were sealed layer by layer.

The reason why Luo Shengtian was so powerful was that when he was born, his mother, Amane, had already ascended to godhood. A god’s flesh and blood were born with divine blood, divine bones, and even a divine soul.

Furthermore, Luo Shengtian’s father was a great emperor of the Rakshasas.

For example, the children of two humans would be humans.

Even if the children of two gods were not gods, the heights they could reach in the future would be extraordinary.

This was why many cultivators only had children after becoming gods, or after transcending a Yuanhui Tribulation.

The stronger they were, the stronger their children would naturally be.

Female gods’ children were on a completely different level than male gods’ children.

The children of female gods were born with divine blood, divine bones, and divine souls. They were basically born with Divine Embryo, just like the offspring of a divine beast. As long as they weren’t too useless, their future achievements would at least be at the level of a pseudo god.

However, every time a female god gave birth to a child, her cultivation would be greatly damaged. She might only have one or two children in her lifetime.

Furthermore, the children she gave birth to were too weak and didn’t have complete consciousness. They couldn’t control the power in their bodies. The divine-level power would be sealed. Only when they reached the Supreme Saint Realm would it gradually be released.

The same goes for Luo Shengtian and Luo Sha.

When Zhang Ruochen was hosting a Macroworld, he had neither a Demigod-level physique nor was a son of a female deity. He was not unique at all. Why was he so heaven-defying?

Other than the Canon of Dimension, Asurendra Barasingha could not think of any other possibilities.

Que descended into the void alone. He looked at Yan Wushen and Zhang Ruochen, who were fighting, and a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes.

Que’s master had taught him that he had nothing to lose. He could sweep the entire world alone with just a sword.

When his cultivation reached a certain level, he would even abandon his sword and truly become the only one in the world.

“Each has their own path, each has their own journey,” Que muttered.

Que’s sword quickly cut off the confusion in his eyes. He left the void decisively. He made up his mind that he would never appear unless he cultivated the perfect Grade Two Saintwill.

…

…

The Power of Darkness of the third Dark Star could cover millions of miles in the starry sky. In the void, although it only covered thousands of miles, it was still very terrifying.

Zhang Ruochen’s body seemed to have turned into a colorful stone. It shone with five-colored light. With the Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill, he controlled the power of the Qiankun Realm and turned the world of darkness upside down.

It was like an endless black ocean that was constantly shattered by the five-colored light.

The Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill was the Saintwill of Zhang Ruochen’s six paths.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation Saintwill was the Saintwill of Yan Wushen’s five paths. It included the “Origin”, “Dimension”, and “Darkness” of the Ancient Paths.

To construct The Six Paths of Reincarnation, “Dimension” was the foundation, “Origin” was the essence of everything, “Darkness” was death, “Buddha” was creation, and “Nether River” was flow and change, and lastly, “Yama” ruled the six paths.

Now, other than the Deva Path of Yama, the other five paths had already merged into one.

This battle pitted Zhang Ruochen against Yan Wushen. It resulted from a collision between a Dark Star and a Macroworld. It was also a collision between two paths.

Rumble

Zhang Ruochen mobilized more and more power from the Macroworld. The light on his body became brighter as if he was about to melt. He punched through the darkness and sent Yan Wushen flying. Blood spewed out of his mouth.

The power of this palm could reach the level of a Banshi Isshou Realm Supreme Saint.

“Again!”

Yan Wushen roared. He activated The Six Paths of Reincarnation again and crashed into Zhang Ruochen.

Yan Wushen pushed the power of the Dark Star to the extreme and reached the strongest state he could control. He broke through Zhang Ruochen’s Yin Yang Five-Element Taiji Mark and sent Zhang Ruochen flying thousands of miles.

It was as if he had been hit by a Dark Star.

Zhang Ruochen’s body kept cracking as if he was going to be smashed into pieces.

But surprisingly, his body recovered very quickly and took the hit head-on.

Yan Wushen’s strength was finally exhausted.

Zhang Ruochen seized the opportunity and launched a counterattack. He punched again and again, hitting Yan Wushen’s chest like a string of pearls.

Bang Bang

Yan Wushen’s chest caved in. Blood gushed out, and his ribs and internal organs were shattered. In the end, he was pierced through by Zhang Ruochen, and his spine was broken.

The shattered flesh and blood turned into particles of Origin and condensed back to build a complete body.

Zhang Ruochen’s face turned solemn. After fusing the Dark Elemental and the fifth type of Saintwill, Yan Wushen’s recovery ability had become so powerful.

If this battle continued, it would probably drag on until everyone was devoured by the void. That was the end.

Yan Wushen obviously realized this too. His eyes were as black as ink. He used his spiritual power to pierce through the void and roared, “Zhang Ruochen, after fighting for so long, how much have you learned about the yin yang five elements?”

“Nothing,” said Zhang Ruochen as he shook his head.

Yan Wushen said, “If you weren’t in a life and death situation, how can you understand The Six Paths of Reincarnation? This is it, this attack will determine your life and death. Are you ready for it?”

“Yes. How could I communicate with heaven and earth and comprehend the true meaning of the yin yang five elements if I wasn’t in a life-or-death situation? Let’s see if you can really force me into a life-or-death situation in the last attack. Please allow me to see the future of the great path of yin and yang and the integration of the five elements,” Zhang Ruochen stated.

“Come forth, Dark Star.”

A strange mark appeared between Yan Wushen’s brows. The Dark Qi surged out like ink, forming a light screen with a diameter of 10,000 kilometers.

It was like a black mirror standing in front of Yan Wushen.

A terrifying sense of danger enveloped Zhang Ruochen’s entire body.

The light screen in front of him was like a door of death. It was desperately pulling him, causing his body to be in pain and slightly deformed.

With a loud boom, the enormous Dark Star flew out of Yan Wushen’s sea of Qi and rushed hundreds of miles on the black light screen. It looked like a crescent moon in the shape of a fishhook.

Only one-tenth of the original body of the Dark Star had appeared. However, the energy waves that Yan Wushen had released were far stronger than before.

Crack

Yan Wushen’s Half-Buddha Physique could not withstand the power of the Dark Star, and a crack appeared between his eyebrows.

One-tenth of the Dark Star rushed out again.

CRACK! CRACK!

Several more cracks appeared between Yan Wushen’s brows, and fresh blood flowed out.

…

The divine figures in the distance were all shocked and bewildered.

“What is he doing? is he going to summon the Dark Star out of his sea of Qi? Can he control such terrifying power? Is he not afraid that the Dark Star will kill him instead?” Blood Empress said.

Just because a person could carry a huge rock that weighed hundreds of kilograms did not mean that he could use it as a weapon in battle.

If he could not use it, he would be crushed to death.

More and more Dark Stars rushed out. Yan Wushen’s power had exceeded to the extent that an advanced stage Banshi Isshou Realm Supreme Saint could not reach. However, Yan Wushen’s entire body was covered in cracks. His skin became like a spider web. It was a terrifying sight as if it would shatter at any moment.

“Take a hit from my Dark Star. I’ll crush your body and Saint Soul and destroy both your body and soul.”

Yan Wushen shouted. Using The Six Paths of Reincarnation, he controlled half of the Dark Star to suppress Zhang Ruochen.

The third Dark Star was as heavy as hundreds of thousands of planets. Even though it was only half of its original size, it still sent out waves of Qi that forced the Power of Oblivion to retreat temporarily.

Zhang Ruochen stared straight ahead. What he saw was not a star, but boundless darkness.

A great fear, power, and momentum rolled toward him.

If he could not block it, he would definitely turn into dust.

“Qiankun Realm, lend me your power,” Zhang Ruochen shouted.

Streams of power and Qi from the Qiankun Realm in his sea of Qi rushed into Zhang Ruochen’s body.

The five-colored brilliance on Zhang Ruochen’s body multiplied several times. He took the initiative to move forward. He lifted the Yin Yang Five-Element Taiji Mark with his palms and attacked the boundless darkness.

Even the gods stared at him without blinking.

Victory and defeat were decided in an instant. Today, one peerless genius would die, and the other would ride the wind and become the hottest rising star in the entire Infernal Court.

Who would be alive?

Boom

As soon as he collided with the Dark Star, Zhang Ruochen’s arms exploded and turned into two clouds of blood mist. Only white bones were left. Even the Armor of the Fire God was eroded by the Power of Darkness.

Immediately after, blood-red cracks appeared on Zhang Ruochen’s neck, head, chest, and legs.

“Has Zhang Ruochen lost?” Supreme Saint Yuan Fei asked.

Yuan Shu calmed herself down and said, “The power of the Dark Star attacks Zhang Ruochen, but it also backfires on Yan Wushen. It’s still unknown who will live and who will die.”

Lord Yuan Tian said, “If Zhang Ruochen doesn’t have any other means, he’ll most likely die.”

Boom

Zhang Ruochen’s arms were completely broken. His bones turned into powder. He could only rely on his body to resist the crushing power of the Dark Star.

Yan Wushen roared, “Die!”

Yan Wushen’s body was shattered, and the Dark Star rushed out a bit more. Its power was even stronger.

Although his body was shattered, strands of dark Qi connected it. It could be said that it was connected to death.

Just when all the cultivators thought that Zhang Ruochen would die for sure.

Whoosh

A Dimensional Gate opened between Zhang Ruochen’s brows. World tree branches flew out and clashed with the Dark Star.

“It’s the Divine Sky-connecting Tree,” the Ghost Master shouted. His eyes were wide open.

Kunlun’s spirit root was the Divine Sky-connecting Tree. It was one of the universe’s oldest living things. The aura alone was enough for the old gods to recognize it.

“The Divine Sky-connecting Tree is dead,” said Wargod Bloodximius. “That’s just a sapling from a dead root.”

The Ghost Master was unpredictable. Even a sapling of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree made him drool.

Rumble

The branches of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree kept rushing out of the Dimensional Gate. They crashed into the Dark Star and stopped it.

Zhang Ruochen’s body couldn’t withstand such a powerful force. It kept shattering, but he still gritted his teeth. He put his palms together and roared, “Come out, Qiankun Realm, suppress the six paths and destroy reincarnation.”

The light from the Dimensional Gate surged. A corner of the world rushed out from the inside and collided with the Dark Star.

The two collided. Black and white light intertwined, and energy burst out.

After a long time, the void returned to calm.

“Who won?” Supreme Saint Yuan Fei asked.

Supreme Saint Yuan Fei looked over. How could he see Zhang Ruochen’s shadow?

There was only one Dark Star floating in the void. It gave off terrifying dark waves.

“It seems that Yan Wushen is the one who has reached the peak of this era,” Supreme Saint Yuan Li said.

Yuan Shu shook her head and said, “Yan Wushen’s aura has completely disappeared. Only Zhang Ruochen is left in this world.”

Zhang Ruochen walked to the top of the Dark Star, step by step, under everyone’s stunned gaze. Step by step, his broken body condensed again. Even the gods were astounded by his ability to recover.

Wargod Bloodximius’s tense face finally relaxed. He let out a long laugh. “Today, my grandson, Zhang Ruochen, is the best in the world. No one can compete with him. Wu Qingzong, are you convinced?”

Wu Qingzong displayed the bearing of a god. “In a life-and-death battle, life and death are acknowledged. Zhang Ruochen won with his true ability. He should be the pride of the world.”

On the day of Zhang Ruochen and Luo Sha’s engagement, he killed Yan Wushen and became the best in this Yuanhui period. He was a world-shaking talent and extremely strong combat strength. The news quickly spread to all realms of the Celestial Court and the ten clans of Infernal Court, making the proud sons of heaven of his generation dim.
