“Does he really think he can fight Lord Demonic Dragon with Destruction of the Thousand-patterns? Doesn’t he know that the dragon claw of Lord Demonic Dragon is stronger than Thousand-pattern Saint Weapons?”
“Just wait and see. Lord Demonic Dragon will end his life with one hit.”
…
The beast kings knew how terrific Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon was. Within State of Saint, only creatures who were ranked top twenty on ‘Half-Saint Rank’ and ‘Half-Saint Outer Rank’ could fight it.
As for other creatures, it was amazing for them to resist its attack at full strength.
The beast kings all smiled as they could imagine the Time and Space Descendant smashed into blood mist.
Peng!
The sword light shuttle surging from the ground clashed with the dragon claw that was as big as a palace. They were in a stalemate for a moment.
The sword Qi and dragon Qi spread everywhere, leaving holes in the ground.
After a short while, Zhang Ruochen’s sword light became bleaker. It dived and hit the top of a dune a thousand feet tall.
That dune caved in and formed a deep valley in the shape of a cone.
Zhang Ruochen kneeled down deep in the dune. He supported himself with his left hand open. He held the sword handle with his right hand, and the blade kept shaking, making a humming sound.
There was some blood at the corner of his lips. He was obviously injured.
Impressive power. No wonder it’s a hegemon level creature from Taigu era, Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon, Zhang Ruochen thought.
Zhang Ruochen confronted Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon because he wanted to see its real power.
Zhang Ruochen reckoned that he could only fight Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon directly when he became a level-eight saint. Even so, he needed some other special skills to level the playing field.
Actually, Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon was a creature from Taigu era. However, its ancestor had used a special technique to seal the dragon egg, and buried it under the ground so that it could absorb the essence from the world.
After millions of years, the dragon egg cracked, and Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon was born in a brand-new era.
Almost all the Taigu Remains had absorbed the chaos Qi when the Heaven and Earth were separated, and they had also absorbed the essence from Kunlun’s Field. They were half-innate creatures, much stronger than acquired creatures.
As for Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon, it was a pinnacle creature among Taigu Remains. No matter how hard acquired creatures refined themselves, they couldn’t match him.
The heirs from the human race were able to contend with Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon all because of Empress Chi Yao, who gave them lots of rare saint herbs, and even divine herbs.
The Abyss Ancient Sword pierced through a scale on the claw of Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon in that clash, and a drop of dragon blood dripped.
The power from the dragon blood was immense. It started to burn in the sky, turning into a gigantic ball of flames with a diameter of eight feet. It only lifted after it fell to the ground.
“You’ve mastered such an exceptional weapon that it can pierce through my dragon scales.” Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon was fascinated by Zhang Ruochen’s Abyss Ancient Sword.
Ever since Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon was born, the Abyss Ancient Sword was the first weapon that could break its scale.
Zhang Ruochen used the handle to help him stand up. He looked up at the sky, unyielding.
“If I kill you, I can erase a threat to savage beasts, and I can get a weapon that might grow into a divine weapon.”
Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon was confident that it could kill Zhang Ruochen.
It could tell that Zhang Ruochen was severely injured, and it was only pretending to look chill.
It should be able to kill him within three moves.
“Are you really confident that you can kill me?”
Zhang Ruochen took a leap forward and rushed out of the valley, landing on the ground again.
“The space has been frozen by sixteen ancestral devices. Do you really think you still have a chance to run away?” Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon said.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Who said I’m running away?”
“Are you saying you have some other trump card? Actually, I don’t care what kind of trump card you have. I’ll kill you anyway.”
Before Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon finished speaking, an enormous dragon claw scratched down, and the energy ripples from this move were stronger.
None of the creatures thought Zhang Ruochen could resist that attack.
“Carnivorous Holy Flower.”
Massive amounts of holy Qi gushed out of Zhang Ruochen’s back, and then, a long green vine emerged from the holy Qi.
The vine of Carnivorous Holy Flower was as think as a bucket, and there was metal luster on the vine. It was as sharp as a divine sword.
Pa!
The long vine whipped forward in the space, clashing with the dragon claw, knocking off three scales from the dragon claw, forcing Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon back to the clouds.
The force from Carnivorous Holy Flower was bizarre. It was a mix of death and vigor.
“How did this happen?”
All the beast kings at the periphery were shocked as they were curious what Zhang Ruochen had used to knock off the scales on Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon.
They saw a long green vine growing to the sky. At the top of the vine was a gorgeous flower with white light, which looked like a gigantic magic lamp floating in the sky.
The scene couldn’t be more bizarre. Nobody expected Zhang Ruochen to have such a fierce trump card.
Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon flew out of the clouds in human shape. It looked serious and said, “Carnivorous Holy Flower is so amazing after blossoming. I’m curious, what kinds of techniques did you use to domesticate it?”
“I won’t tell you,” Zhang Ruochen said calmly.
Kui Bull Beast King yelled in the distance, “Lord Demonic Dragon, do you need us to help you suppress the Carnivorous Holy Flower with our ancestral devices?”
“No need. You guys just keep using the ancestral devices to freeze the space to prevent him from running away.”
Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon was confident in its power that Zhang Ruochen was still not its match even if he had domesticated the Carnivorous Holy Flower.
Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon took out dragon bones from its belly. Meanwhile, it kept infusing its dragon Qi into the dragon bones. After a short while, all the seven hundred dragon bones started to gleam.
Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon was finally starting to get serious.
Peng Peng.
Dragon bones and the Carnivorous Holy Flower were fighting fiercely, and the space structure kept being shattered. There was black dust being kicked up in the desert.
Zhang Ruochen’s original plan was to run away after stalling all the beast kings for fifteen minutes, yet he now found himself trapped in the battle.
Gradually, other beast kings joined the fight. They utilized their ancestral devices and hit them toward Zhang Ruochen so that they could finish the battle as soon as possible.
Zhang Ruochen immediately swallowed a drop of Day Spirit Dew to quickly recover the Holy Qi he’d consumed. He was holding the heir stamp. The emperor Qi coming out of the heir stamp condensed into a layer of solid body-protecting reticle.
Meanwhile, he was holding a sword technique with his other hand, using the Abyss Ancient Sword to fight back against the beast kings.
Zhang Ruochen wasn’t confronting the beast kings head-on. Otherwise, he would’ve been killed several times already.
He was fighting and retreating at the same time. He moved among different spots so that they couldn’t encircle him.
All the other three directions had been occupied by beast kings, so Zhang Ruochen had to retreat back to Yingsha City.
All the human monks had already gotten out of Yingsha City.
Some savage beasts rushed out of the city to chase after the fleeing humans while some stayed in the city to guard it.
“Look! Lord Demonic Dragon and all the beast kings are coming back!” a half-human and half-beast savage beast yelled.
Another level-six savage beast rushed forward and said, “Beast kings, the human monks have broken our encirclement and rushed out of Yingsha City, running northwestern…”
Peng!
Before that level-six savage beast could finish talking, a repercussion from the heir stamp crushed it into a lump.
Zhang Ruochen landed from the sky, standing beside the body of that level-six savage beast. He couldn’t stop bleeding, and he was severely injured. He couldn’t even stand straight.
Even though Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon was held up by Carnivorous Holy Flower, Zhang Ruochen still needed to fight more than ten beast kings. It was a miracle that he was still alive.
Zhang Ruochen performed Great Spatial Move, and he even used the saint decree, yet he still wasn’t able to escape it.
Kui Bull Beast King had a mind power ancestral device, which was incredible and could cover an area of hundreds of square miles.
Whenever Zhang Ruochen performed Great Spatial Move, the mind power ancestral device would make mind power attacks. Although the mind power ancestral devices couldn’t kill Zhang Ruochen, they could check him and prevent him from running away.
This was a dangerous situation Zhang Ruochen had never faced, as there was a chance that he wouldn’t be able to make his way out.
No wonder both Chi Wansui and Beigong Lan were defeated. Those beast kings are indeed impressive, Zhang Ruochen thought.
‘Half-Saint Rank’ and ‘Half-Saint Outer Rank’ made by Saint Lady weren’t completely precise, but they had great reference value.
Most of the beast kings were on the ‘Half-Saint Outer Rank’.
Aside from those, Kui Bull Beast King was also a Taigu remains on ‘Half-Saint Rank.’ This was considerably weaker than heirs.
Zhang Ruochen had indeed underestimated their power at first.
“Now that those human monks have fled, that Time and Space Descendant has to die.”
All the beast kings were furious. If it weren’t for Zhang Ruochen, they would’ve killed all the human monks in Yingsha City already.
If they couldn’t kill Zhang Ruochen, other beast kings from Blue Dragon Void World would definitely make fun of them.
Beast kings kept walking out from the desert. They looked cruel, furious and frantic. They kept approaching Zhang Ruochen, wanting to tear him apart.
Even though he was trapped in such a dangerous position, Zhang Ruochen didn’t have any regrets. Instead, he became ferocious and swallowed three drops of divine dew at the same time. Masculine Qi gushed out of his pores and became fire. He yelled, “I’ll kill at least five beast kings before you kill me.”
Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t regret anything as long as he wasn’t guilty to his heart, even if he had committed heinous crimes. He would fight until he bled the last drop of his blood.
He was going against God’s will, so he had to pay the price.
