Chapter 1640 - Completion of Sword Eight (1/2)

The guard had Sword Gang to protect his body, so he managed to dodge Zhang Ruochen’s sword.

Sizzle!

There were sparkles on its head, and the Abyss Ancient Sword tore it a bit.

“d.a.m.n it. I didn’t kill it.” Zhang Ruochen sighed.

The power of time vanished. The guard then wielded its giant silver sword, carrying gleaming Sword Way Xuangang.

It was too fast for Zhang Ruochen to dodge.

He immediately used his sword, trying to ward it off.

Bang!

The power that Zhang Ruochen couldn’t fight against fell onto the Abyss Ancient Sword, and the sword shook fiercely.

Zhang Ruochen’s hand was cracked, and lots of saint blood was spilled. His body const.i.tution could rival that of a third-step saint king, yet it was so fragile in front of the guard.

The Boat of Truth and Zhang Ruochen were both knocked away, falling.

Zhang Ruochen had to try to control the Boat of Truth. If he fell into the ocean, it meant he failed, which was the last thing he wanted.

All of a sudden, a giant shadow showed up above him as the Boat of Truth was about to fall into the ocean.

Zhang Ruochen looked up, and the guard was floating above him. He looked like a ruthless G.o.d of Death.

It wielded its giant silver sword.

The power contained in the giant silver sword was horrific, which pushed the water down when it was more than a hundred feet above Zhang Ruochen.

Meanwhile, Zhang Ruochen felt that his head was about to burst because of that invisible force.

“No, I can’t fail. How can I fail on the fourth level of the ocean domain? I’m Zhang Ruochen, Time and s.p.a.ce Manipulator. I want to become a G.o.d and defeat Chi Yao… I must accomplish what others can’t.” Zhang Ruochen had great perseverance, and an unbending will.

His body potential was fully triggered at this moment. His mind became clear as the time around him flowed more and more slowly. He felt like he was standing in a dark, silent and cold universe, and that he could see the changes of everything.

All the confusion he had been having was gone.

Zhang Ruochen held his sword handle tightly again seeing the giant silver sword slaying toward him.

Whoos.h.!.+

Black light emerged on the Abyss Ancient Sword.

It wasn’t sword light though. Instead, it was Sword Way Xuangang.

Meanwhile, the Fire G.o.d Armor on his arms gleamed with blazing flames, which merged with Sword Way Xuangang, surging.

Boom!

The two Sword Way Xuangangs clashed with each other.

The guard’s giant silver sword was torn apart, and its body was also cut in half.

Bang!

The Boat of Truth landed on the ocean again, making waves that were several times taller than Zhang Ruochen’s body, yet he was standing on the Boat of Truth stably.

The guard’s half bodies turned into light dots and flew back to the light screen. “Pa.s.s.”

Zhang Ruochen guffawed, looking at the sword in his hand.

He didn’t expect himself to fully comprehend the final level of Sword Eight and to condense Sword Way Xuangang.

Incredible.

It was incredible.

Suddenly, he stopped laughing as he realized something. He thought, It seems trying to cross the Ocean of Truth won’t just give me awards. The most important thing is to help monks refine themselves.

When trying to cross the ocean, monks can comprehend how to better control their power.

Each guard is a teacher. Fighting them not only makes us more experienced, but also allows us to learn their fighting skills. A monk can improve drastically after fighting a teacher like that.

Without the guard on the fourth level of the ocean domain, it would take a while longer for Zhang Ruochen to complete Sword Eight.

What was more incredible was that Fire G.o.d Armor finally showed the power it should’ve shown, much larger than when Qiu Yu had it.

Zhang Ruochen managed to defeat the guard with the help of Fire G.o.d Armor.

Why was that?

Zhang Ruochen was baffled. He immediately mobilized a trace of mind power to inspect the two boxing gloves and arm guards of the armor.

The boxing gloves and the arm guards were like four fiery G.o.dly irons. There were lots of ancient G.o.dly engravings on their surfaces, including some pictures of divine beasts.

There weren’t this many changes when he was trying to trigger Fire G.o.d Armor before.

Gradually, Zhang Ruochen retracted his saint Qi.

He then noticed the light spots in the saint Qi he pulled back.

“That is… Mystery of Truth…”

Because of the dire situation before, Zhang Ruochen didn’t have the capacity to control Mystery of Truth, which was why he infused Mystery of Truth and saint Qi into the Fire G.o.d Armor at the same time.
