Chapter 1455 - Exit The Ancient Saint Mountain (2/2)
Looking past the canyon, one could see the peak of another mountain.
Zhang Ruochen looked into the distance. “After pa.s.sing this canyon, we should reach the 33 center mountains.”
“So we’re getting closer to the Merits Record Wall?” Bu Ji looked happy.
“Yes.”
“Then, what are we waiting for? Let’s go. The other three walls had already been destroyed. If we get this one, we’ll control the entire Saints Merits Battle.”
Zhang Ruochen, Bu Ji, and Su Qingling didn’t hesitate. They started walking toward the other end.
The Luosha Princess stared at the black and white stone embedded into the canyon with a thoughtful expression. She wanted to take them and study the spatial runes.
Her Holy Qi spun quickly and flooded into her demonic eyes. Then two beams of light flew out of her eyes. They hit the mountain on either side, producing deafening booms.
Hearing the noise, Zhang Ruochen hurriedly stopped and looked back. He had a serious expression. “What is she doing? The mountain is so dangerous and she still dared to make such a commotion? Is it worth it for a saint stone?”
The spatial runes on the stone were indeed abstruse and very valuable for both research and comprehension. However, it was too dangerous here. Destroying the structure so brazenly could lure out danger.
Of course, Zhang Ruochen was thinking from his own point of view. The Luosha Princess didn’t have the Time and s.p.a.ce Secret Guide like him. She couldn’t cultivate in the s.p.a.ce Divine Pavilion either. If she wanted to study the Way of s.p.a.ce, she had to keep searching and collecting by herself.
She would obviously take the stone since she encountered it.
The walls on either side kept falling down. The stone started loosening. But great coldness poured out from under it.
“Oh, no.”
Zhang Ruochen’s expression changed. He used the Spatial Move and appeared to the right of the Luosha Princess. “Hurry and leave,” he ordered.
The Luosha Princess didn’t listen to his urge. She continued attacking. Finally, the stone fell free from the wall, separating from the mountain.
Her eyes narrowed. She was about to collect the black and white stone—
Rumble.
Suddenly, a great amount of Pluto Winter Water flooded out from under the stone. Like a black flood, it whooshed toward her and Zhang Ruochen.
Pluto Winter Water was extremely cold water. Even a regular Saint King would fear it and not dare to touch it.
Piercing screams traveled from the water. A large amount of Pluto Ice Jade Scorpions rushed out, attacking Zhang Ruochen and the Luosha Princess first.
Merely looking at adult scorpions, there were already more than 20.
Faced with such a situation, even the Luosha Princess grew fearful. Her eyes were unnatural.
Zhang Ruochen was long prepared. He pointed and uttered, “Spatial Collapse.”
Dozens of spatial cracks appeared in the s.p.a.ce before them. The s.p.a.ce started collapsing where the cracks met. It transformed into a huge black hole that swallowed the black and white stone and the Pluto Winter Water.
At the same time, Zhang Ruochen slapped forward with two Divine Fire Jingmie fireb.a.l.l.s. The canyon instantly grew scalding. Rocks melted and steam rose up. The scorpions were forced back.
When the s.p.a.ce recovered and stabilized, the scorpions that were still alive ducked into the walls. They disappeared from the canyon.
Finally, Zhang Ruochen let out a relieved sigh. He turned and walked toward the other end.
The Luosha Princess hurried over. Putting up an annoyed expression, she said, “I wanted to collect the black and white stone and study the spatial runes. Why did you destroy it?”
“Couldn’t you see that the mountain contains large amounts of Pluto Winter Water?” Zhang Ruochen asked. “If you collected the stone, the water would flood out. The water also nurtures destructive scorpions. Can you take it if large amounts of scorpions come out?”
The Luosha Princess wasn’t grateful at all. As if pretending to want to argue, she said, “My cultivation is very strong. I can obviously take it. Who needs your help?”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to keep arguing. He felt like she was too naïve. She liked to show her strong side and never admit defeat.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen ignore him, the Luosha Princess took the initiative and said, “You were pretty handsome just then. You acted decisively and much stronger than before. Did you reach the middle True Saint Realm now?”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t reply. He picked up his pace.
When they exited the canyon, Zhang Ruochen finally reunited with Bu Ji and Su Qingling.
The two had walked to the edge of the steep abyss. Looking into the distance, they grew excited. Zhang Ruochen also followed their eyes. Two towering flame mountains entered his vision.
One of the mountains had a Merits Record Wall at the top. Even hundreds of miles away, he could see the white saintly light s.h.i.+ning from the wall.
