God Emperor Chapter 2438

Chapter 2438 - Heavens and Earth Slaughterer

Yan Zhexian was interested and asked, “How can you tell that it has been refined?”

Zhang Ruochen spoke confidently, and said, “It was recorded in the ancient books that the Timespace Viburnum came from the Searock Bastion where it grew in the Archean mines. Its initial color was white like jade, and after a Yuanhui Tribulation it will grow into a black or white tree that lights up the surroundings for 500 miles, where three months each will be light and dark and together equal to a single day.”

It meant that the Timespace Viburnum emerged from the Searock Bastion and grew on the Archean mine. In the beginning, it was as white as jade. After the Yuanhui Tribulation, it became black and into two colors. Within 500 miles of the light that it emits, three months were day and three months will be night, and half a year will become one day.

Zhang Ruochen said, “From this, it can be seen that even the black and white Timespace Viburnum causes time to be extremely slow in its light. Half a year under the tree will only be one day outside. Moreover, the time flow within is very stable.”

“A Timespace Viburnum above three colors is rarely recorded in the ancient books.”

“A Rainbow Viburnum is unheard of. If it was born alive, many deities would be alarmed for its value far exceeds that of a Supreme Artifact, and can even be compared to a Divine Artifact.

“The Power of Dimensions released from this Rainbow Viburnum is very unstable and its power of time is also very chaotic. Obviously, this is a dead tree that has been refined by others.”

The cultivator covered in black said hoarsely, “How do you know it’s a dead tree? What if it’s not completely dead?”

Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, “The Timespace Viburnum can only survive in the Archean divine mine. If it leaves the divine mine, it won’t be nourished and will die soon.”

Ye Xiao, who was in charge of the auction, pointed to the gambling platform and said, “Don’t you see that there is a cauldron of divine mud under the Rainbow Viburnum? When it was dug out from the ancient divine tomb, the divine mud was already there, and it hasn’t lost its divinity.”

The God of gamblers, the Seven-Armed Elder, revealed a mouthful of yellow teeth. He smiled maliciously and said, “Even a dead tree is worth a lot.”

Yan Zhexian nodded and agreed with the Seven-Armed Elder.

Even a dead tree of the Rainbow Viburnum should be worth more than 100,000 Godstones. If they were lucky, the Rainbow Viburnum wouldn’t be completely dead. Even if it still had a bit of life force, with the Yanluo clan’s secrets, there was still a chance to bring it back to life.

If they gambled to that state, what would 100,000 Godstones be?

Zhang Ruochen said, “If the dead tree is successfully refined and well preserved, its value is indeed very high and comparable to a Supreme Artifact. Selling it for hundreds of thousands of Godstones is not a problem.”

Back then, Zhang Ruochen’s Class Seven Regal Artifact, the Wheel of the Nether Sun, had been sold for 300,000 Godstones in the Realm of Star Ocean because he had the chance to cultivate it into a Supreme Artifact weapon.

True Supreme Artifact weapons were priceless. No one would sell them.

Yan Zhexian noticed that this spatial cultivator seemed to have some discerning eyes, so he asked, “How many Godstones do you think this Rainbow Viburnum is worth?”

Zhang Ruochen glanced at the chips on the gambling table and said, “I don’t think there’s a need to raise the stakes!”

Yan Zhexian pursed his lips slightly, and his eyes became suspicious. “Do you think this Rainbow Viburnum has been refined but failed? Or has it been improperly preserved and is no longer worth anything?”

“As I said earlier, the space here is unstable and time is chaotic. Even if it’s just a dead tree, it shouldn’t be in this state,” Zhang Ruochen said.

A Corpusian Supreme Saint laughed mockingly. “Don’t you know that the Rainbow Viburnum has been refined and turned into a weapon? Weapons need energy to be activated to display their power.”

This Corpusian Supreme Sain was Cang Baizi from the Hall of Permanence.

He wore a green robe and a Taoist crown, and he also carried a horsetail whisk. There was a moon mark on his forehead, and he gave off a strong stench of rotting corpses.

Yan Zhexian asked, “How confident are you?”

“What I just said is just a guess. I’m only 30-40% confident.” Zhang Ruochen didn’t dare to be too confident. After all, Madam Yan wasn’t someone to be trifled with.

If he made a mistake and made her lose 150,000 Godstones, she wouldn’t be as polite as Cang Jie.

It didn’t concern her anyway. He just had to tell the truth.

“Hahaha, 30-40% sure is no different from blind gambling.”

The onlookers including Cang Baizi laughed.

Yan Zhexian became hesitant. She had already thrown 150,000 Godstones in. If she listened to this unknown space cultivator and did not raise the bet, even if she stopped the loss now, all the Godstones would go down the drain.

150,000 Godstones. Even if she was born noble, she couldn’t take that many

out. She had to ask the patriarch for them.

If the patriarch knew that she had lost 150,000 Godstones on the gambling platform, he would definitely punish her.

She was truly unwilling to resign to her fate.

“No, no. If it was something of no value, how could the Seven-Armed Elder, who is known as the god of gambling, place a bet of 140,000 Godstones?”

Yan Zhexian immediately suspected that this space cultivator with an unknown identity was sent by the Seven-Armed Elder.

The Seven-Armed Elder won every bet. He was well-versed in scheming humans.

Zhang Ruochen saw through Yan Zhexian’s thoughts and was speechless. He sighed to himself. With your little experience, you dared to gamble with the god of gamblers. He pitied his ancestors in the Yanluo clan.

After all, she was a mother with child. If she lost the bet and lost her mind, it would be very bad for the child.

Zhang Ruochen did not want to watch her fall into the pit. He decided to do his best to help her win this round or reduce the losses.

Of course, everyone present was a Supreme Saint with extraordinary eyesight. There was also the legendary god of gamblers. Zhang Ruochen was not sure he could pull this off.

The god of gamblers would occasionally stare at Zhang Ruochen with a smile. His smile was very strange, which made Zhang Ruochen feel great pressure. He always felt that those eyes seemed to be able to see through all the unknown in the world.

Zhang Ruochen suspected that the god of gamblers had seen through his ability to change.

Zhang Ruochen threw away all the distracting thoughts in his mind and looked at Ye Xiao. He said, “If I knew the identity of the owner of the ancient divine tomb that this Rainbow Viburnum is dug out from, I might be able to make a more accurate judgment.”

The Seven-Armed Elder laughed like a spirit. “That makes sense. At least we can judge whether he has the ability to refine a treasure of the level of the Rainbow Viburnum.”

Everyone looked at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao said, “This…”

“I think we have the right to know,” Yan Zhexian said.

Ye Xiao hesitated and said cautiously, “Please wait a moment. I have to ask the House Master.”

A clear and pleasant voice came from a certain direction of the Enchanteur Palace through the crystal wall. It sounded in the gambling hall. “No need for that. Tell them.”

Zhang Ruochen looked in the direction of the voice.

Through the crystal wall and the thick darkness, he saw a woman standing on a red tower at the palace complex in the distance. She was as bright as the moon.

He could just glimpse at the graceful figure before the woman disappeared.

Was she the House Master of the House of Enchanteurs?

There were only three people in the entire gambling hall who had figured out the woman’s location. They looked over.

Apart from Zhang Ruochen, the other two were Seven-Armed Elder and Cang Baizi.

Ye Xiao said, “The owner of the ancient divine tomb has existed for a very long time. According to the artifacts found, he should be the Withered Divine Lord.”

Hearing this name, most cultivators present were at a loss.

Zhang Ruochen had absorbed the knowledge of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree. He closed his eyes and searched for information about the Withered Divine Lord and found some. He was an elite from 40 to 50 yuanhui tribulations ago and belonged to the Infernal Court, where he was known as the god of the Stone Clan.

When Zhang Ruochen found the information, Ye Xiao also told him some information about the Withered Divine Lord.

“So it’s the Withered Divine Lord whom I’ve heard some legends about. He’s indeed an incredible god.”

“The dead souls temple had dug up the Withered Divine Lord’s grave. How many good things did they dig up?”

“If this news gets out, the Stone Clan’s elites will definitely go and cause trouble for the dead souls temple. No wonder Ye Xiao didn’t dare to say anything. It’s all thanks to the house master’s boldness.”

“I don’t believe that the dead souls temple can dig up the tomb of the Withered Divine Lord. Even if they did, they probably only dug up part of the tomb.”

Though millions of years have passed since the age of the Withered Divine Lord, the name of a great man like him can still be remembered throughout the ages, even if his body and spirit have perished.

To be remembered forever is the dream of all the deities in the world.

“With the Withered Divine Lord’s cultivation, it’s not difficult to refine the Rainbow Viburnum.”

“It seems that the Rainbow Viburnum has been refined into a space-time treasure. Its value is very likely higher than a Supreme Artifact weapon.”

“Oh my god, the dead souls temple is willing to give such a valuable treasure to the Citadel Casino in the House of Enchanteurs?”

The Seven-Armed Elder snorted lightly, “Blind optimism! The Withered Divine Lord has already fallen for forty to fifty yuanhui periods. The immortal body of the deities might have already been corroded into bones. How could the Rainbow Viburnum not be corroded?”

Someone retorted, “The Withered Divine Lord must have carved divine marks and supreme inscriptions on the Rainbow Viburnum to resist the corrosion of time.”

“The god of gamblers only said that because he was afraid that others would bet more and raise the price too high.” Cang Baizi said while smiling strangely.

Zhang Ruochen inadvertently looked at Cang Baizi. He thought to himself that this person had profound cultivation of the corpse path so he couldn’t be a lord without any Godstones. However, he didn’t participate in the betting but kept talking instead.

Could it be a secret agent hired by the House of Enchanteurs?

The six Supreme Saints who had only bet 1,000 Godstones all looked interested. However, they shook their heads dejectedly when they saw the 100,000 Godstones on the gambling table.

“I’ll bet 200,000 Godstones.”

The quiet black-veiled cultivator threw out seven black chip cards and bet 70,000 Godstones more at once.

The Seven-Armed Elder chuckled. “I’m in too.”

Following that, he threw out seven black chip cards and increased the bet to 210,000 Godstones.

A smile appeared on Cang Baizi’s ghastly pale face, and he said, “Didn’t the god of gamblers just say that the Rainbow Viburnum is very likely to have been corroded? Why did he raise the bet himself so quickly?”

The Seven-Armed Elder replied, “Anyway, I’ve bet a lot of Godstones. I don’t care much so I’ll add another 70,000 Godstones. What if… there’s a 10-20% chance of winning?”

Cang Baizi glanced at Yan Zhexian blankly without a trace of expression. Then he smiled and said, “The god of gamblers can only deceive little girls.”

Yan Zhexian obviously trusted the Seven-Armed Elder’s eyesight more. She twirled the Seven-Armed Elder black chip cards between her fingers and prepared to place a bet.

Zhang Ruochen grasped her arm.

“Let go? How dare you touch my hand? Do you believe that I’ll dare to chop off your hand?” Yan Zhexian’s eyes were cold. A sacred flame rune appeared on her arm.

Zhang Ruochen let the sacred flame rune burn his hand and secretly transmitted his voice to say coldly, “Listen to my advice. Don’t raise the bet again.”

“With your 30-40% confidence in this?” Yan Zhexian didn’t transmit her voice and spoke out loud directly.

Seeing that the other party did not let go, she became even angrier. She thought of Zhang Ruochen on the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting.

Zhang Ruochen’s disgusting hand had touched places that it should not have touched. She had always wanted to chop it off.

A big part of the reason why she joined the bet on the Rainbow Viburnum was that she wanted to use it to deal with Zhang Ruochen and suppress the so-called Scion of Time and Space.

Although all the cultivators in the Infernal Court now misunderstood that she was pregnant with Zhang Ruochen’s child, and her great-grandfather even wanted her to marry Zhang Ruochen, it was a pity that she would rather die than agree to that.

A treacherous person like Zhang Ruochen, who was promiscuous and cold-blooded, had also killed his good friend treacherously. So what if he was talented?

She would only hate him.

How could he make her marry him?

In the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting, Zhang Ruochen had done everything he could to save Lord Xia Yu. In her eyes, it was not because he valued the friendship, but because he lusted for Lord Xia Yu’s beauty and could not change his lascivious nature.

Of course, Zhang Ruochen did not know that so many thoughts had passed through Yan Zhexian’s mind. He said telepathically, “I’m not 30 to 40 percent sure. I’m now more than 70 percent sure.”

Zhang Ruochen’s hand was still on her arm. For some reason, Yan Zhexian’s initial resistance had lessened a lot. Instead, she began to feel an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

She didn’t know where this strange emotion came from, but it made Yan Zhexian calm down temporarily to ask telepathically, “Why are you suddenly more than 70% confident?”

“Because the owner of the tomb is the Withered Divine Lord.”

“What do you mean?”

“The Withered Divine Lord is indeed a god with powerful cultivation, but he’s not proficient in refining weapons, nor is he a cultivator of space and time. A natural treasure like the Rainbow Viburnum cannot be refined just with strong cultivation! If it were Saint Monk Xumi, I would fully support you and bet everything.”

Yan Zhexian said suspiciously, “The Withered Divine Lord existed millions of years ago. How do you know him so well? Who are you actually and why should I believe you?”

“If you don’t believe me, you have to believe in the deities of the dead souls temple and the twelve deities from the Enchanteur Chamber right? If the Rainbow Viburnum was refined into a weapon, would they send it to the gambling table?” Zhang Ruochen said.

Yan Zhexian naturally had thought of that, but she was hoping for a fluke.

Perhaps the deities of the dead souls temple and the twelve deities from the Enchanteur Chamber were not that confident and did not dare to unseal it easily.

If it was not unsealed, it could be sold for at least hundreds of thousands of Godstones.

If they lost the bet, they would suffer a heavy loss.

The two powerful groups of deities did not dare to gamble, but Yan Zhexian wanted to gamble.

Zhang Ruochen saw that she still didn’t give up and said, “That’s all I have to say. I won’t persuade you further anymore. Anyway, I definitely won’t get your 10,000 Godstones reward!”

The Seven-Armed Elder seemed to have heard the spiritual power transmission between Zhang Ruochen and Yan Zhexian, he smiled and said, “Little girl, listen to his advice and stop here. He’s not only a space-time cultivator but also a Master of Space! His judgment is sure to be more accurate than yours.”

“But senior, why don’t you stop then?” Yan Zhexian retorted.

The Seven-Armed Elder said, “I’m already old and have a lot of Godstones, but I’m afraid of death, so I have to fight. If I win the 10-20% chance and get the Rainbow Viburnum, I can prolong my life and live longer.”

Yan Zhexian was very conflicted. It was not like her character to admit defeat without gambling.

Moreover, 150,000 Godstones had been placed out.

Zhang Ruochen stared at the Seven-Armed Elder with an incomprehensible look in his eyes. It was obvious that this old man had already seen through his identity. With his shrewdness, he must know that gambling on the Rainbow Viburnum carries a huge risk.

Why did he continue to gamble?

Was it really like what he said, that it was only a 10-20% chance? This did not sound like what the god of gamblers would have said!

Ye Xiao urged, “If you don’t raise the bet, you’ll automatically give up your bet.”

Yan Zhexian clutched the Seven-Armed Elder black chip cards tightly. Her eyes show resoluteness. Just as she was about to throw them onto the gambling platform…

Her hand was grabbed again.

Yan Zhexian thought it was Zhang Ruochen again so her eyes widened. Just as she was about to get angry, she heard Yan Huangtu’s voice. “We’re not following!”

“Fifth uncle,” Yan Zhexian said.

Yan Huangtu let go of her wrist and strongly reprimanded her, “Nonsense! You’re being far too bold to fight with the famous god of gamblers. Take the loss of these 150,000 Godstones as a lesson.”

In Yan Huangtu’s eyes, a bet between Yan Zhexian and the god of gamblers was like a child fighting with a Supreme Saint. It was no different from giving away money. He would lose for sure.

It was the best outcome to stop the loss in time before it happened.

Along with Yan Huangtu were four powerful elites from the Yanluo clan. All of them had cultivation above the Thousand-Koan Realm. They wore robes with multiple talismans and had powerful auras. Clearly, they all had powerful backgrounds.

Yan Huangtu looked at Zhang Ruochen carefully and clasped his hands together, “Thank you for stopping her,” he said. “I’ll make you my friend no matter whoever wins or loses, and the 10,000 Godstones she promised will be paid to you. How should I address you, sir?”

Zhang Ruochen knew that Yan Huangtu had taken a fancy to his strength and wanted to befriend or subdue him. In short, he had some bearings of an emperor.

“I am the Emperor who Slaughtered the Heavens and Earth hundreds.” Zhang Ruochen said while clasping his fists in return.

The name sounded familiar to Yan Huangtu, but he had forgotten where he had heard it before.

This person in front of him had profound cultivation and was proficient in the Path of Dimension. It was not unusual for him to have heard of his name.

After he went home, he would slowly investigate his background.

While Zhang Ruochen and the Yan Huangtu were exchanging pleasantries, the betting on the gambling platform was getting more intense. In just a few rounds, the chips thrown out by the Seven-Armed Elder and the black-veiled cultivator had increased to more than 500,000 Godstones, which caused all the cultivators present to be dumbfounded.

After all, there are even some deities who couldn’t take out so many Godstones.

The news of betting on the Rainbow Viburnum had spread throughout the House of Enchanteurs in a short time, and more and more cultivators came to watch the show.
