Chapter 2222 (1/2)

This was not the end of the transformation. The blood flow in Zhang Ruochen became faster and faster. The sound he made was like a great bell.

Gradually, Zhang Ruochen’s skin became like white jade. His hair and pupils turned blood red, and the nails on his hands grew longer.

More importantly, two sharp teeth grew out of his mouth.

With the eight golden wings on his back, Zhang Ruochen’s current appearance was no different from that of an Immortal Vampire. Although he was still handsome, he had become extremely evil.

It was almost ironic. Zhang Ruochen used to hate the Immortal Vampires the most, but now, he has become one of them.

The only good thing was that Zhang Ruochen did not have a desire for blood. It proved that what Blood Empress said was true. She had solved this big problem for him.

Otherwise, he would not be able to accept himself. He would rather die than become a blood-sucking monster.

‘Gradually, Zhang Ruochen adjusted his emotions. A determined look appeared in his eyes. ‘Whether I am a human or an Immortal Vampire, I am still Zhang Ruochen.’ he thought.

No matter what changes happened to him, as long as his heart did not change, everything would be the same as before.

Zhang Ruochen did not care about what others thought of him. He had never wanted to live the way others wanted him to.

Zhang Ruochen sat cross-legged again. He circulated his techniques and restrained his blood qi. Before long, his skin and nails returned to normal, and his fangs disappeared.

Just as he was about to put away his golden wings, he suddenly had a strange feeling.

The arcane runes on the golden wings stimulated by the power of the Supreme Saint appeared and began to absorb the Saint Qi of heaven and earth. Even the Precepts of Heaven and earth gathered.

For a moment, the repulsion of the Precepts and Saint Qi of heaven and earth on Zhang Ruochen was greatly weakened. They even became friendly.

‘It seems that with these eight golden wings, I can harmonize with the Precepts and Saint Qi of heaven and earth in the Infernal Court Faster,’ Zhang Ruochen thought.

It wasn’t a bad thing to grow wings from this point alone. They would be of great help to him at this stage.

The flesh wings of the Immortal Vampires weren’t just for show. They could greatly increase speed, mobilize the Precepts and Saint Qi of heaven and earth, used for direct attacks and many other uses.

The more flesh wings there were, the more useful they would be.

Under normal circumstances, the Immortal Vampires were born with only a pair of flesh wings. After reaching the Saint Realm, their blood qi would increase. Only then would they be able to grow more flesh wings.

Most of the Immortal Vampires’ flesh wings were blood-red. A small number were silver. All the Immortal Vampires with silver wings had extraordinary physiques. They were far stronger than ordinary human Saint physiques.

Zhang Ruochen had come into contact with many Immortal Vampires, and there was no lack of geniuses with silver wings. The earliest one was the fourth disciple of elder Xuanji — Feng Han. He hadn’t become a Saint yet, but he had four silver wings. His physique was extremely powerful.

There were also Lord Ming and Qi Sheng. They were born with six wings and could be considered prominent figures.

However, none of the Immortal Vampires Zhang Ruochen had come into contact with had the same golden flesh wings like him.

He believed that the golden wings should be special among the Immortal Vampires, at least not compared to the blood wings.

“If I can fully control the power of this body and stimulate the bloodline power of the Demigod-level physique to the extreme, the number of wings should increase,” Zhang Ruochen said.

His physical quality was extremely strong, especially stronger than that of Supreme Saint Qingsheng.

When Zhang Ruochen reached the same cultivation realm as Supreme Saint Qingsheng, the number of fleshy wings could at least be compared to or even surpass Supreme Saint Qingsheng.

Since the fleshy wings could help Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation, he did not put them away. He continued to circulate his techniques, absorbing the Precepts and Saint Qi of heaven and earth into his body to temper himself.

The process of Zhang Ruochen controlling the power of his body was accelerated with the help of the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring.

At the same time, Zhang Ruochen was also trying to mobilize the Precepts.

Restricted by his Demigod-level physique, Zhang Ruochen could not use most of the 200 million Precepts even though he had them. He could barely mobilize part of the Precepts of Time, Dimension, and Truth.

In comparison, the Path of the Ancients was undoubtedly much less restricted.

After a long time, Zhang Ruochen had preliminary control of the power of his physical body. Most of the Precepts could also be mobilized from his body.

In this way, he could cultivate normally.

“It’s time to use this treasure!” he said.

Zhang Ruochen waved his hand and took out something.

It was a stone house carved out of a giant stone. There was a stone dragon on it. Each scale of the dragon was very clear and vivid.

There were a lot of ancient and complicated arcane runes engraved on the surface of the stone house. It seemed to contain the principles of heaven and earth and emitted a very obscure Path connotation.

“Legend has it that the Divine Dragon Enlightenment Chamber can double the efficiency of a cultivator in comprehending the Path. Invisibly, the body and the Saint Soul can also be nourished. Even the spiritual will can become tougher. I wonder if it has a miraculous effect.” Zhang Ruochen said with his eyes filled with anticipation.

The Divine Dragon Enlightenment Chamber was one of the most famous treasures in the Dragon Temple. Anyone would want to obtain it.

Although Zhang Ruochen had killed Mojo, Lord of Elixir, and subdued Dragon Phantom Lord and Lord of Stone, he didn’t get a Divine Dragon Enlightenment Chamber. Otherwise, he would have used it long ago.

The Divine Dragon Enlightenment Chamber originated from Lord of Sword. It was something Lord of Sword had given away. Now, it could be put to good use.

Zhang Ruochen entered the Divine Dragon Enlightenment Chamber and began to comprehend the Path.

The Divine Dragon Enlightenment Chamber’s interior was as smooth as jade. It was covered with dragon patterns. There were also streaks of dragon Qi that transformed into dragon shapes. They danced in it and passed through Zhang Ruochen from time to time. It gave him a wonderful feeling.

When Zhang Ruochen had been on True Dragon Island, he had obtained a lot of treasures. Although he had taken some out to nurture the old cadre of the Shengming Empire, he had still left many. They were all treasures.

Now that he had broken through to the Supreme Sainthood, he could use these treasures better.

The cultivation of the Supreme Sainthood was different from that of the Saint Kinghood. It took a long time for each small realm to improve. It also required a large number of treasures.

Fortunately, Zhang Ruochen didn’t lack anything. Now that he had a large number of Godstones, and he had enough treasures. He could improve his cultivation and strength greatly in a short amount of time.

After twenty years of seclusion, Zhang Ruochen controlled the power of his physical body. His Saint Soul was completely compatible with his physical body. At the same time, he was familiar with the Precepts and Saint Qi of heaven and earth in the Infernal Court. He could mobilize them as he pleased without any hindrance.

Zhang Ruochen did not come out of seclusion. Instead, he chose to continue cultivating and immerse himself in comprehending the Precepts.

He had a foundation that was far superior to ordinary people. He had just become a Supreme Saint and already had 200 million Precepts. In this world, only Yan Wushen could compare.

With this foundation, he could double the total number of Precepts and reach the mid-stage of the Neverwilt Realm. After that, he could double it and condense the Saintwill. Then he could reach the late-stage of the Neverwilt Realm.

In a sense, the more powerful he was, the harder it was to breakthrough in the Supreme Saint realm.

However, he would be even stronger after that.

In other words, Zhang Ruochen would need at least 400 million Precepts to break through to the mid-stage of the Neverwilt Realm. Most of the late-stage Neverwilt Realm powerhouses didn’t have that many Precepts.

Even though the Supreme Saint’s speed of comprehending Precepts was very fast, far surpassing that of a Saint King’s, it would take a long time to accumulate 200 million Precepts.

Under normal circumstances, it would take at least hundreds of years, and he would not sleep or rest.

However, in just ninety-five years, Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation had reached the critical point of breakthrough.

Zhang Ruochen had comprehended nearly 200 million Precepts in less than a hundred years.

All of this was due to the treasures from True Dragon Island, especially the Divine Dragon Enlightenment Chamber, which had tripled his efficiency of comprehending Paths.

It was no wonder that there were only ten Divine Dragon Enlightenment Chambers in the Dragon Temple.

The Divine Dragon race could not create too many of such heaven-defying treasures.

Zhang Ruochen opened his eyes and stopped cultivating.

In his hand was a huge crystal that emitted dazzling divine light.
