Chapter 2306: Going Underground

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Fighting against five Supreme Saints at the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm at the same time was completely different from fighting one-on-one. There were too many factors to consider. At that moment, even if Zhang Ruochen could break the four ghostly prisons of Four-eyed

Ghost Emperor, he did not dare to use his full strength. He also had to be wary of the other powerhouses who could attack at any time.

Zhang Ruochen held the gourd with one hand and activated the Precepts of Dimension in his sea of Qi with the other. He formed a palm and slapped out.

Boom

The palm print landed, and the space shattered layer by layer, revealing dark and empty areas. The four ghostly prisons were torn apart.

The evil mirror shattered, the copper pillar pressed down, the blood pool dissipated, and the 100,000 stone tablets turned to dust.

“He’s that strong?” said the shocked Four-eyed Ghost Emperor. He quickly retreated to avoid the broken space.

Four-eyed Ghost Emperor’s strongest attack was futile in front of Zhang Ruochen. It could be seen that Zhang Ruochen, who had only broken one shackle, already could kill Four-eyed Ghost Emperor.

“Take this!” said Popobawa Ghost Emperor.

Popobawa Ghost Emperor had already pushed the power of the Ghost-headed Whip to the limit. The moment Zhang Ruochen unleashed the Power of Dimension, the thousand-mile-long whip slashed out. The bone-chilling Ghost Qi combined with the sharp whip power.

The Ghost-headed Whip seemed to have turned into a blade. Its power condensed into a single line.

‘Popobawa Ghost Emperor has combined the Ghost-headed Whip, a Regal Artifact, with a strand of Saintwill. It’s soft to the extreme and sharp to the extreme. It’s a bit difficult to deal with.’ Zhang Ruochen thought.

Zhang Ruochen threw the Thousand Dipper Ring and collided with the Ghost-headed Whip.

The two collided silently.

The powerful Thousand Dipper Ring seemed to hit the air.

Popobawa Ghost Emperor smiled. The whip bent and continued to attack Zhang Ruochen from another direction.

Zhang Ruochen stepped on the void space with his right foot. The space under his feet distorted. The Ghost-headed Whip slashed past him and headed toward the Four-eyed Ghost Emperor.

The Four-eyed Ghost Emperor roared, “Who are you trying to kill, Popobawa Ghost Emperor?”

Popobawa Ghost Emperor didn’t expect the Power of Dimension to be so mysterious. Zhang Ruochen had used the force to hit him. He quickly withdrew the Ghost-headed Whip.

Whoosh

Taking that opportunity, Zhang Ruochen raised his hands above his head. Under the guidance of the Precept of Time, countless Mark of Time’s light spots and the Saint Aspect of Time appeared at the same time. They formed a Bell of Time that was more than 40 meters tall.

The Saint Aspect of Time was illusory and had no real form.

Simultaneously, the Precept of Dimension and the Saint Aspect of Dimension were released in his sea of Qi. They swirled around his body, transforming a hundred miles into a massive Dimensional Vortex. Countless Dimensional Rifts swooped in.

Supreme Saint Yanhong sensed something was wrong and said, “Attack immediately. Break his Spatial Domain and shatter the Bell of Time.”

Xu channeled the Ghost Qi into the sky and into the Pleiades Lotus. He planned to use the power of the Supreme Artifact to suppress Dimension and Time.

Buzz

Abell chimed.

The Mark of Time and the sound fused and turned into waves. They spread in all directions at ten thousand times the speed of sound.

No one dared to touch the Mark of Time. As they retreated, they gathered the Precepts and formed their own domains to defend against the invasion of the Power of Time.

The Saintwill that Popobawa Ghost Emperor had fused was a Grade Five Thread-Slicing Saintwill. The domain was formed by countless sharp lines.

Boom

The Lined Domain blocked most of the Mark of Time, but it was pierced through by the Dimensional Storm that followed closely behind.

“Damn it,” Popobawa Ghost Emperor cursed. He spread his wings and flew toward the sky.

“Cut!” Zhang Ruochen Shouted.

Zhang Ruochen, who was hiding in the Dimensional Storm, turned into a streak of golden light and flew out. Ten Golden Wings slashed at Popobawa Ghost Emperor. Popobawa Ghost Emperor used the Ghost-headed Whip to defend, but the golden wings still broke through his defense.

Poot

Popobawa Ghost Emperor’s left wing was cut off by Zhang Ruochen’s golden wings.

A large amount of Ghost Qi leaked out from the broken wing.

The blood-red aura and the power of the progenitor invaded Popobawa Ghost Emperor’s Neverwilt Astral Form and destroyed its mysterious structure. Starting from the broken wing, the Astral Form disintegrated and turned into black fog.

The Popobawa Ghost Emperor was in unbearable pain, he screamed, “Zhang Ruochen’s power is strange. He’s destroying my Neverwilt Ghost Emperor Physique. I’ll leave him to you. I need to find a safe place to refine that power.”

With that, the Popobawa Ghost Emperor immediately fled.

“Where are you going?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Zhang Ruochen shot out a divine fire dragon and hit the Popobawa Ghost Emperor’s back. Many ley lines appeared on his Neverwilt Astral Form, and his injuries worsened.

Popobawa Ghost Emperor’s body fell into the sea thousands of miles away with a thud.

Just as Zhang Ruochen was about to catch up and finish the Popobawa Ghost Emperor, a terrifying power fluctuation came from above his head.

“The Supreme Artifact has been activated again!’ Zhang Ruochen thought.

Zhang Ruochen raised his head to take a look. He rushed down into the sea and dived deep underground.

“You can’t get away!” Supreme Saint Yanhong’s soft and beautiful voice came out from her sandalwood lips.

She was very angry.

So many powerful figures had joined hands to attack, but Zhang Ruochen had still managed to severely injure the Popobawa Ghost Emperor. She wondered if the gods watching the projection of the Mystic Eye of Myriad Realms were very disappointed with her?

“Phew!”

Supreme Saint Yanhong opened her red lips slightly and spat out a mouthful of pink death-chilling Qi. In an instant, the sea area where Zhang Ruochen was frozen into ice.

Zhang Ruochen’s body was sealed in ice.

The ice was extremely hard as if it had turned into black iron.

Rumble

Immediately after, the Supreme Power released by the Pleiades Lotus turned into a waterfall of Ghost Qi. It poured down and hit the pink sea of ice below.

Bang! Bang! Bang

The ice sea was broken through and all the ice crystals were vaporized.

Zhang Ruochen supported the Violet Gourd and stood beneath it at a critical juncture. He used the gourd’s defensive power to repel the Supreme Artifact’s attack.

However, his body was hit to the bottom of the sea.

Before he could catch his breath, the dried-up sea grew dense red bone flowers.

The bone flowers had thorns and were extremely poisonous.

Hundreds of millions of crystal clear bone flower petals flew toward him, making sharp wind-breaking sounds.

Zhang Ruochen’s Spatial Domain was constantly being eaten away by the bone flower petals. Although a large number of petals had withered, more petals were approaching his body.

Just as the Spatial Domain was about to be eaten away, Supreme Saint Yanhong’s beautiful figure walked out of the petals. Her delicate hands reached out from her red sleeves.

Ten soft and beautiful fingers formed two orchid fingers.

“Last time, you injured me with ten times the attack power of the Path of Truth. I regard that as a great humiliation. Today, do you have the guts to fight me again?” said Supreme Saing Yanhong.

Crash

Behind Supreme Saint Yanhong, the Gate of Destiny appeared. Countless Precepts of Destiny intertwined together.

Zhang Ruochen really did not want to fight head-on with Supreme Saint Yanhong. He knew very well that if he was entangled by her, he would definitely lose today… No, he would definitely die.

He had to think of a way to escape.

“Alright, let’s have a good fight today,” said Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen released the Realm-frame of Truth. The light shadows of the planets appeared to resist the pink bone flower’s encroachment.

All the light from the planets gathered on his body. Instantly, the ten golden wings shone brightly. Three dragon and elephant souls appeared in his left and right arms. He attacked Supreme Saint Yanhong with both palms.

“Death Kiss.”

The Supreme Saint Yanhong smiled charmingly. A pink bone flower condensed between her hands and attacked Zhang Ruochen.

The Death Kiss was a high-level saint technique of the Thousand-Koan Realm that Saint Yanhong had cultivated. The bone flower condensed contained terrifying poison. Even a Supreme Saint wouldn’t be able to escape death if he touched it.

Seeing that Zhang Ruochen had fallen into her trap, the Four-eyed Ghost Emperor and Xu smiled and attacked at the same time.

‘What the Four-eyed Ghost Emperor had shot out was an Immaterial Artifact. It was shaped like an eye and as red as blood.

Xu activated the power of the Supreme Artifact. The Supreme Power condensed into a 300-meters-tall black skeleton. It descended from the sky and stomped on Zhang Ruochen’s head.

If Zhang Ruochen really chose to fight head-on with the Supreme Saint Yanhong, he would definitely be hit by their power. He wouldn’t be able to dodge at all. That way, even if he didn’t die, he would only have half his life left.

A strange scene happened. Zhang Ruochen had clearly struck out with his palms, but his body suddenly flew backward.

Rumble

Supreme Saint Yanhong, Xu, and Four-eyed Ghost Emperor’s power all hit nothing.

After breaking free from their power suppression, Zhang Ruochen was about to use the Great Dimensional Shift to enter the underground of the Ghost’s home planet. Suddenly, his back felt cold and all the hair on his body stood up.

Asense of extreme danger assaulted his mind.

“Not good,’ Zhang Ruochen thought.

Zhang Ruochen’s expression changed. His spiritual power sensed a scene that made his scalp tingle.

The shadow under his feet split into two.

One of the shadows circled behind him and stabbed out with a sword. The tip of the sword had already reached his back.

The shadow was a real shadow, and the sword was a real sword.

The shadow was Ye Changzai, who was ranked 18th on the list of the Hundred-Shackle Realms Great Perfection stage.

“When did Ye Changzai hide in My Shadow?”

Zhang Ruochen recalled the fight as fast as lightning. He vaguely found the reason for the fight.

Ye Changzai had to have been hiding in the shadow of Supreme Saint Yanhong at first. He hid in his shadow when Zhang Ruochen and the Supreme Saint Yanhong came into close contact.

If Zhang Ruochen had really fought the Supreme Saint Yanhong just now, and Ye Changzai suddenly stabbed out from the shadows, how could Zhang Ruochen still be alive?

At that critical moment of life and death, Zhang Ruochen’s thoughts were unprecedentedly clear. The ten wings on his back quickly contracted, and his body wrapped into a golden sphere.

Bang

Ye Changzai’s sword hit the golden ball, creating a large number of sparks.

The golden ball wasn’t sent flying. Instead, it rolled on the blade and crashed into the shadow on the ground.

Boom

A large crater was created on the dry seabed. Cracks were all around the crater.

Xu, Supreme Saint Yanhong, and Four-eyed Ghost Emperor flew to the edge of the crater.

With a wave of the Supreme Saint Yanhong’s red sleeve, the dust in the crater was cleared. It was empty. Where was Zhang Ruochen?

Ye Changzai’s shadow appeared beside Supreme Saint Yanhong, He said weakly, “Zhang Ruochen has escaped to the depths of the Ghost’s home planet.”

“How are your injuries?” Supreme Saint Yanhong asked with concern.

Ye Changzai sighed. “Zhang Ruochen is indeed a powerful figure. When the five Supreme Saints of the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm joined hands, it was almost a sure-kill situation. He broke it and injured me instead. However, he didn’t fully defend against my sword. He must

have been seriously injured.”

Supreme Saint Yanhong released her spiritual power to investigate. Indeed, she found Zhang Ruochen’s aura 10,000 meters underground.

“There are a lot of Siderophile Substances in the underground of the Ghost’s home planet. There must be a big secret hidden there. Zhang Ruochen knows that he can’t escape, so he took the risk to rush underground to survive.”

If Zhang Ruochen could discover the underground, they could, too.

“No matter what’s underground, Zhang Ruochen is seriously injured now. We can’t miss that perfect opportunity to kill him… Something… is wrong, What’s going on?”

Supreme Saint Yanhong raised her snow-white head and looked at the sky.

The sky became overcast with thick black clouds. The seven stars formed by the Pleiades Lotus were covered in layers upon layers. The sky went pitch black in an instant, and one couldn’t even see one’s fingers.

Cold winds blew in the air.

The entire planet trembled slightly.

“Someone has invaded our planet.”

Xu’s senses became clearer. He discovered that the Pleiades Lotus, which was the core of the Star-Shield Grand Formation, had been attacked by another Supreme Artifact..
