A smile flashed past Zhang Ruochen’s eyes, as he deployed a Dimensional Teleportation Scroll, and slapped it onto the back of Bloodhunt Hongdong.
Carried by the force, Bloodhunt Hongdong’s corpse flew towards the silver-armored Emissary Vigilant’s projection.
Whooosh!! Whooosh!!
A bright light appeared from the Dimensional Teleportation Scroll, as a large number of inscriptions of space spread all around.
The space trembled slightly, forming water-like ripples.
Both the projection and Bloodhunt Hongdong disappeared at the same time.
Zhang Ruochen raised his head and looked up at the silver-armored Emissary Vigilant before he said, “Help me test whether the Dimensional Teleportation Scroll works, thank you.”
Dimensional Teleportation had a certain degree of danger, and any mistakes would cause the teleported ones to fall into the void.
The use of a Teleportation Scroll was even more dangerous, and it needed to be tested before it could be used.
At that moment, the silver-armored Emissary Vigilant was extremely furious and wanted to call upon divine retribution to kill Zhang Ruochen regardless of the cost.
A slither of Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power flew thousands of miles, and into his ears. “The image of you killing Bloodhunt Hongdong had been seen by many cultivators. Perhaps they have even rubbed and traced the image down.”
“I can hand you evidence of Bloodhunt Hongdong’s massacre of the Sword Sanctum to you, and give you an explanation to the Celestial Palace.”
As he said that, Zhang Ruochen raised the scroll, and gently shook it at the silver-armored Emissary Vigilant.
The silver-armored Emissary Vigilant who had wanted to call upon divine retribution restrained his emotions and said, “Hand it to me.”
“Answer me first. Have your projection managed to teleport successfully?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Ever since the silver-armored Emissary Vigilant had become a Supreme Saint, he had never been toyed by a being beneath a Supreme Saint like that. The anger in his heart was enough to burn the heavens and earth.
“It worked!”
The bare few words hissed out between the silver-armored Emissary Vigilant’s teeth.
Zhang Ruochen said calmly: “I want to know the exact numbers.”
“The teleportation distance is 360,000 miles. Zhang Ruochen don’t push your luck. Beware of the day you fall into my hands,” the silver-armored Emissary Vigilant hissed.
“Catch.”
Zhang Ruochen threw the roll-up scroll over, and took the Mastadon-Devouring Rabbit along with him, as he used the Great Dimensional Shift and disappeared.
The silver-armored Emissary Vigilant created a projection and descended upon Kunlun Realm and grabbed the scroll.
Bam!!!
Suddenly, the scroll exploded as powerful energy was unleashed, and destroying the projection.
The surrounding dimension collapsed and became a broken space.
The Emissary Vigilant’s fury exploded, and he roared, “Zhang Ruochen, you’re courting death!”
Zhang Ruochen, who had already returned to the Eastern Region Holy City, and smiled faintly as he heard the Emissary Vigilant’s furious roar.
Zhang Ruochen did not believe that that Emissary Vigilant would blatantly call upon divine retribution upon him. After all, he did not kill Bloodhunt Hongdong, and there was no evidence that he had captured Tian Chen.
As long as divine retribution was not unleashed, Zhang Ruochen did not fear the other means available to the Emissary Vigilant. After all, Zhang Ruochen, aside from Supreme Saints, had entered the preliminary ranks of the top-ranked elites.
After that, it was the Emissary Vigilant’s headache on how to explain to the Celestian Palace why he had killed Bloodhunt Hongdong.
All eight Godstones were exhausted, and the Sundial stopped working.
In fact, Zhang Ruochen still had a Godstone with him. That Godstone was inlaid in the King Daxi’s Divine Crystal Staff.
But a single Godstone could not run the Sundial, so Zhang Ruochen did not take it off.
“With a Godstone inlaid in it, this Divine Staff must be something special.”
“But that day, King Daxi did not use the Godstone or activate the staff. Was it because she could not rouse it with her current spiritual power? Or was it because she had no time?”
In any case, this Crystal Staff was definitely something special and needed proper safekeeping.
When Lu Huaiyu learned that Zhang Ruochen had killed Bloodhunt Hongdong, he immediately brought a group of cultivators from the Sword Sanctum to meet the latter.
Without a care of offending an Emissary Vigilant to seek justice for the Sword Sanctum, all of the cultivators of the Sword Sanctum were really moved.
In the past, they only regarded Zhang Ruochen as a former prince and did not have much sense of belonging.
But now, they would gladly take the knee, as they were both admiring and grateful to Zhang Ruochen.
“Your Highness, the Black Altar has been restored,” Lu Huaiyu reported.
A tinge of joy appeared on Zhang Ruochen’s face. “Bring me to have a look.”
The Black Altar was an artifact that Zhang Ruochen had snatched from a Level 59 Fane of Youshen spiritual-power Saint King, but it was split in half by Awesome, the Little Taoist with the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror and was severely damaged.
In the past eight years, both Lu Huaiyu and Awesome, the Little Taoist were not only cultivating, but they also spent time on refining tools.
The Black Altar was hundreds of feet high and was divided into six floors. There were steps built on it, with 18 array flags fluttering in the wind.
The 18 array flags were refined by Blackie, which he called the ‘Conflagration of Heaven and Earth Array’, a part of a Nine-Rank formation array. Both Lu Huaiyu and Awesome, the Little Taoist then combined the 18 array flags, and the Nine-rank formation inscription inside the Black Altar together.
Inside the Black Altar was a simple Nine-Rank formation.
Awesome, the Little Taoist stood at the top of the altar, looking quite proud. “Zhang Ruochen, see, this one never brags, unlike that owl. The power of the Black Altar is much stronger than before. Want to give it a try?”
Zhang Ruochen ascended the Black Altar, and stood at the center of it, as he released the spiritual power from his Saint Heart.
Voosh!
A series of blood-red circuit lines appeared on the surface of the Black Altar like the blood vessels of a living being. The array flags inserted in eighteen different positions made a fluttering sound as flames appeared and formed into eighteen flame clouds.
Even when it was not completely roused, all of the cultivators in the region were startled by the aura erupting from the Black Altar.
All of them looked at each other, wondering in their hearts if Zhang Ruochen had obtained another peerless treasure.
Zhang Ruochen did not continue to rouse the Black Altar as he withdrew his spiritual power, a satisfied look appeared in his eyes as he asked. “How many Saint Stones are needed to activate the Black Altar once?”
“About a million pieces,” Lu Huaiyu’s said.
Zhang Ruochen nodded slightly, it was within the range of his limits.
One needed to know that he had an ancient arcane mineral vein and could continuously dig out Saint Stones from it.
Zhang Ruochen asked again, “I’ve given you the fragment of the tortoiseshell, have you refine it together with the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror.”
The tortoiseshell fragment cost Fairy Tianchu 10 billion Saint Stones, and it weighed heavily in terms of bonds and honor.
When he handed it to Awesome, the Little Taoist, Zhang Ruochen originally wanted Awesome, the Little Taoist to pay 10 billion Saint Stones for it.
However, Awesome, the Little Taoist went on crying about how awesomely broke he was, and in the end, Zhang Ruochen still handed him the tortoiseshell fragment.
He had already given him seven Divine Planets, so Zhang Ruochen would naturally not be stingy with a piece of a Supreme Sacred Artifact.
Awesome, the Little Taoist sniggered while he took out the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror and said, “It’s just a small piece short and the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror can be restored into a complete Supreme Sacred Artifact. When that time comes, who would be my match? ”
“But perhaps that little piece may never be found,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Awesome, the Little Taoist looked indifferent and said, “It doesn’t matter. If you really cannot find it, I’ll use other materials to replace and complete it.”
“A Supreme Sacred Artifact would need a vessel spirit to unleash its true power. The Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror doesn’t have a vessel spirit, right?” Zhang Ruochen said.
“Well, about that!”
The corner of Awesome, the Little Taoist’s mouth twitched as a smile appeared. “If it was before, I would not have told you this. But since you regard me as one of your own, and I will reciprocate it as well. Actually, if I am desperate, I can merge together with the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror, and at that time, I will be the vessel spirit.”
Zhang Ruochen was not surprised.
At Royal Mountain, Awesome, the Little Taoist merged with the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror to unleash unparalleled power and broke the simple Nine-rank array, splitting the Black Altar in half.
Turning oneself into a vessel spirit when there wasn’t one, perhaps only Awesome, the Little Taoist dared to pull that stunt.
Zhang Ruochen said, “There’s one more thing that I’m quite curious about. The Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror was in the hands of Lord Luotianzhen, how did you take it away? Where is his body?”
Awesome the Little Taoist’s eyes spun around as he evasively said, “What are you suspecting? The corpse of Lord Luotianzhen is of course still at the Altar of Divinity Bestowment. Could he resurrect himself and run away?”
Zhang Ruochen was about to continue questioning it, but he suddenly sensed something and raised his head.
He saw a light talisman flying over from the horizon.
It was a message from the Holy Scripture Maiden.
“Mr. Godcliff went to Luoshui before he disappeared from the Chessboard of the World. Zhang Ruochen, be careful. Even an array master, even if wounded, cannot be underestimated.”
“Luoshui…”
Zhang Ruochen squeezed the light talisman tightly, his expression changed suddenly.
Mr. Godcliff knew that he would not be able to do anything in the Eastern Region Holy City, so he must have gone to Luoshui to exact vengeance upon Fairy Tianchu. It was possible that he would go to Royal Mountain as well and destroy Zhang Ruochen’s base.
“Tell Xiaoyezi, that things are extremely urgent, and meet me at Luoshui immediately.”
Zhang Ruochen gave an order to Lu Huaiyu, before he drove the Black Altar into the air and flew out of the Eastern Region Holy City, and toward the dimensional wormhole outside of the Holy City.
“What the hell is going on?” Awesome, the Little Taoist asked.
Zhang Ruochen’s expression was extremely cold as he said, “We’re going to kill the master of the seven Divine Planets.”
Going through the dimensional wormhole and the teleportation array, Zhang Ruochen sped up to the fastest he could, and in less than half a day, he arrived at Luoshui.
The sun was shining bright.
White mist floated on the surface of Luoshui, layered on top of each other, blocking all line of sight, and making it difficult to see what was going on in the depths.
It was important to note that there were many dangers in Luoshui. Only during a starry night without moonlight would one enter the depths according to a special star path.
“Mr. Godcliff must have entered Luoshui. We cannot wait any longer.”
Zhang Ruochen did not have the time to wait for a starry night without moonlight, and he drove the Black Altar toward Luoshui.
Even Ji Fanxin dared to break into Luoshui alone, as the scion of time and space, why would he dared not do the same?
However, just before he reached the skies above Luoshui, four golden figures appeared from the waters and blocked the Black Altar. One of the golden figures said loudly, “His Royal Highness has ordered for Luoshui to be sealed. No entrance is permitted to unauthorized persons.”
Zhang Ruochen recognized them, there were the Goldscale Imperial Guards under the Dizu Crown Prince.
Zhang Ruochen did not have the time to blather with them as he let out a rasping cry. “Get lost.”
Booom!
Four thunderbolts flew out of the Black Altar and hit the four Goldscale Imperial Guards, and sending them flying into the water.
“Who dares to attack the Imperial Guards of the Dizu Divine Dynasty?”
Several powerful figures appeared on the surface of Luoshui.
One of them was an old man with four arms. Zhang Ruochen recognized him. He had seen that person on one of the planets in deep within Luoshui, he was named Eunuch Que and was the number one elite under the Dizu Crown Prince.
