Chapter 1775 - The Divine Envoy’s Might (2/2)

The divine clone was startled for a second. Scanning the ground below, he finally saw a silver-haired figure in the eye of another formation on Mount Yueshen.

It was Kong Lanyou. She had been the one who used her Supreme-Saint blood to power the inscription formation, activating the ‘Blood Moon Swallowing the Heavens’ Grand Formation for the second time.

“You will have to step over my dead body first if you want to kill my cousin!”

Kong Lanyou knew how powerful the divine clone was. It was several times more bada.s.s than the demon’s shadow from earlier.

Even if she had to exhaust all of her Supreme-Saint blood, she was still determined to protect Zhang Ruochen.

Meanwhile, Supreme Saint Manjian had stood up despite losing his head. Walking into the broken divine ring pattern, he once again injected his Supreme-Saint power into the formation and kept it up.

Supreme-Saint blood spurted out of his severed neck like a geyser, spreading throughout the patterns of the inscription.

The energy of the formation was increasing.

Just then, Yueshen’s voice echoed in Zhang Ruochen’s mind. “You may draw as much power as you need from me as long as you can bear the load. Finish off Blackheart Demonlord’s clone as quickly as possible and send me the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron. I have a surprise gift for you today.”

Zhang Ruochen was relieved to hear Yueshen’s voice. It meant that she was not having a hard time dealing with Bloodlord Erjia in the void. He also realized that he had been intimidated by the divine clone earlier, and his drawing of Yueshen’s power should not have any significant effect on her.

“What a cunning fellow. I cannot believe that a demon needs to resort to such a lowly way to deal with a Saint King.”

Zhang Ruochen could not have been angrier. Disregarding his body and Saint Soul’s ability to bear the load, he started to draw as much power from Yueshen as he could. The Staff of the Divine Envoy started to become brighter and brighter in his hand.

The divine clone had obviously sensed that something was amiss, so he stepped up his a.s.sault. Yet, the “Blood Moon Swallowing the Heavens” Grand Formation suppressed all of his attacks. The formation had gained a tremendous boost in power as Supreme Saint Manjian and Kong Lanyou joined hands to drive it.

“Ultimate Demonic Mark!”

The divine clone clapped his hands together in the gesture of a mark, summoning an endless amount of precepts to himself. A circular demonic mark with thousands of suspended skulls instantly appeared above Mount Yueshen.

Boom!

Then, the demonic mark descended and crushed the protective s.h.i.+eld of the “Blood Moon Swallowing the Heavens” Grand Formation.

That happened not because the formation was not powerful enough. It was just not operating at full capacity.

At least twelve Supreme Saints were required to drive the formation. If that had been the case, not even G.o.d himself could have taken down Mount Yueshen.

Supreme Saint Manjian’s headless body, which looked like an ancient sacred mountain, dropped to the ground.

“Manjian!”

A streak of blood appeared on Kong Lanyou’s brow. She glanced at Zhang Ruochen’s spot before she dropped to the ground too. The stream of blood on her brow started to spread all over her impeccably white, ceramic-like body.

Zhang Ruochen screamed in anger. Just then, cracks began to appear all over his body as well. The demonic mark had not done anything to him. Instead, the power that he had drawn from Yueshen was causing the tearing.

Holding the Staff of the Divine Envoy in his hand, Zhang Ruochen lunged up into the air. He broke through the demonic mark and breached the demonic cloud that was high above, striking the divine clone with the staff.

A loud boom ensued as the divine clone exploded.

The strike had obliterated an immeasurable amount of demonic energy, so much so that even Blackheart Demonlord felt the effect. His body trembled, and his movements slowed down.

Just as the divine clone blew up, parts of Zhang Ruochen’s body also exploded as blood and flesh flew in all directions. His bones were visible in some parts of his body, and he gritted his teeth while he fought the pain.

Despite that, he did not stop. He lunged toward the void that Yueshen and Bloodlord Erjia had ripped open earlier.

While he was still in the air, his heart ached as he glanced at Kong Lanyou, who had dropped to the ground. Nevertheless, Zhang Ruochen understood that he could not stop. He had to hurry and join forces with Yueshen.

Victory would only favor them if he helped Yueshen defeat Bloodlord Erjia.

“Like an ultimate weapon, the Sun-moon Crystal Coffin possesses a force of ma.s.s destruction. So, why does Yueshen still want to borrow the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron? Is it because it is more powerful than the Sun-moon Crystal Coffin?” Zhang Ruochen was puzzled.

Yanshen, Youshen, and Bloodlord Sijia had been watching on the sidelines earlier. After Zhang Ruochen crushed the demon’s shadow and divine clone, they could no longer sit by and watch. Each of them shot out a beam of energy at Zhang Ruochen from afar.

Those energy beams held the power of the G.o.ds, which were much more powerful than that of the divine clone. Even with Yueshen’s divine power, there was no way Zhang Ruochen could parry them without being turned into ash.

“Here goes nothing!”

Zhang Ruochen had no choice but to take out the Secret Tome of Time and s.p.a.ce. He then tore the dimension open in advance and slipped into the void.

“That rascal is already creating trouble for us when he is merely a Saint King. I cannot imagine what he will become if he attains Supreme Sainthood or even G.o.ds.h.i.+p,” Youshen mumbled to herself.

Yanshen felt uneasy about Zhang Ruochen’s actions. He was just a Saint King, yet he was daring enough to join the battle between Yueshen and Bloodlord Erjia. What did he want? Something was not right.

Yanshen immediately entered the Shatuo Domain and stepped into the void as he thought about intercepting Zhang Ruochen.
