Chapter 1774 - Old Friend (1/2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
One hundred thousand years ago, when Bloodlord Erjia was still young and only a Saint King, he had definitely been a benchmark for that era. As a result, Yueshen had thought highly of him.
That was how picky Yueshen was. She only had a good impression of five juniors, including Zhang Ruochen.
A favored man like Bloodlord Erjia, who had attained divinity and been cultivating for one hundred thousand years with superb combat ability, was definitely a terrifying figure.
“I just need to use a third of my strength to beat you,” said Yueshen.
“You are too b.l.o.o.d.y confident, Yueshen! Unlike one hundred thousand years ago, things have changed. The once all-powerful forces have fallen while the true G.o.ds of this new era have emerged, and I am one of them. Just one more battle, and I will be standing at the top of the Celestial Court.”
Bloodlord Erjia stood in the eye of the vortex and took a step forward. That single step brought him across a vast distance straight to the Shatuo Domain.
When Bloodlord Erjia said that he just needed another battle, he naturally meant a battle with Yueshen. As long as he could defeat Yueshen, he would shake off Jiatianxia’s influence, transcending to a key influencer of the Celestial Court.
He spun the whisk in his hand, and each of its silk strands possessed the ability to slice the heavens as well as the earth. The land under Yueshen’s feet instantly turned into a void.
Heavenly and earthly rules were severed in that void as thousands of powerful energy beams shot at Yueshen.
Extending one of her beautiful fingers, Yueshen pointed forward, and a ring of light spread from her fingertip.
Bloodlord Erjia sensed how powerful that light was and spun his whisk with all his might. The precepts that emanated from his body filled the s.p.a.ce and converged at the whisk.
Boom!
The rules broke apart, and the whisk was shattered. Blood covered Bloodlord Erjia’s hand. He quickly retreated with a horrified expression in his eyes.
It was not until he had retreated several thousand miles that he used an ancient s.h.i.+eld to neutralize the force of Yueshen’s finger.
“Whoa, that was powerful!”
Bloodlord Erjia’s expression changed as he turned around and saw the Sun-moon Crystal Coffin approaching from behind him. It looked both like a scorching sun and a divine moon.
“b.l.o.o.d.y war in the Heavens!”
Bloodlord Erjia spun around and transformed into a blood spring. As the blood spring surged, the sky and earth quickly turned into an endless sea of blood. Countless giant hands clashed with the Sun-moon Crystal Coffin on the surface of the sea while the world around them trembled.
Boom!
After numerous clashes, the Sun-moon Crystal Coffin’s power split the sea of blood in half.
Yueshen stood on the Sun-moon Crystal Coffin in the middle of the fissure where the sea had split open. With Bloodlord Erjia’s true body under her subdual, they plummeted into the void below and disappeared from everyone’s sight.
The cultivators watched in astonishment from the sidelines as the dimensional fissure closed back up.
Right before she disappeared, Yueshen looked extremely heroic with Bloodlord Erjia under her feet.
Yanshen and Youshen still had their hearts in their mouths after they made it out of the Shatuo Domain. They knew better than everyone else how powerful Bloodlord Erjia was. Yet, he looked like a helpless lamb before Yueshen.
“Do not worry, Bloodlord Erjia did not come unprepared. Since he dared to challenge Yueshen, he must have brought that superweapon from the Fane of b.l.o.o.d.y War. With that weapon in hand, it is not difficult to defeat Yueshen,” said Bloodlord Sijia.
Despite what he said, he would never dare to enter the Shatuo Domain again, lest Yueshen returned after triumphing over Bloodlord Erjia. Bloodlord Sijia could not imagine the consequences if that were to happen. Since Bloodlord Erjia, as well as Blackheart Demonlord, had made their move, the outcome was set, and they did not have to take the risk.
On Mount Yueshen, Blackheart Demonlord summoned his clones and formed demonic shadows. After thirty-over strikes, he finally tore through the divine ring pattern.
“No!”
Supreme Saint Manjian roared with indignation.
Boom!
A mighty divine power rushed into the ring and hit Supreme Saint Manjian.
The greatsword that Supreme Saint Manjian carried on his back automatically flew out to clash head-on with the divine power. The impact sent the greatsword and Supreme Saint Manjian flying back before they crash-landed into Guanghan Temple’s wall.
The demon guffawed. “It seems that I have underestimated the ability of the divine ring pattern and the ‘Blood Moon Swallowing the Heavens’ Grand Formation—they have been bogging me down for quite some time.”
As powerful divine energy rushed into the broken divine ring pattern, Zhang Ruochen’s face turned pale, and his joints swelled as if he was about to blow up.
Down below on the ground, Supreme Saint Manjian’s greatsword vibrated and flew up into the air as the demon’s shadow grabbed it by force.
Using its hand, the shadow rubbed a coat of divine light over the body of the sword and sealed the sword’s soul.
The greatsword shot out at once, striking Supreme Saint Manjian in the neck. The sword cut his head off and pinned it to Guanghan Temple’s wall. Meanwhile, his headless body dropped down next to Zhang Ruochen.
