Chapter 1817 - The Return of the Powerful Ancient Kunlun (1/2)
Beneath the Divine Sky-connecting Tree in the Qiankun Realm.
A nine-inch green jade tower was suspended in the air with a faint green glow.
A loud voice came as the branches of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree swayed lightly in the air. “If you remove the seal now, you may not be able to suppress the Azuresky PaG.o.da with your current cultivation base.”
“I would like to try. If I fail to subdue it, I hope you could lend me a hand,” said Zhang Ruochen calmly.
After saying so, he started to remove the layers of seal on the Azuresky PaG.o.da.
The tiny paG.o.da started to shake violently.
Ripples appeared in the air as heaven and earth trembled. Zhang Ruochen felt as if he was standing in the middle of a dimensional storm. If he lost his balance, that violent force would rip his body apart.
He took away the last layer of the seal.
Boom!
A supreme power rushed out and hit Zhang Ruochen.
But he had come prepared. An Eight-Dragon Fan propped up and spun at high speed, blocking the supreme power while he retreated tens of miles away.
He then moved the Eight-Dragon Fan aside and looked ahead.
The Azuresky PaG.o.da had become as ma.s.sive as a mountain. A green glow that carried terrifying energy struck down at him.
But he was not afraid. He was no longer what he used to be. Using the Eight-Dragon Fan to shroud his body, he turned into a stream of golden light and lunged at the paG.o.da.
The Eight-Dragon Fan stormed into the paG.o.da through the door with a loud bang, with Zhang Ruochen following closely behind it.
Inside the paG.o.da was a misty world, with stars suspended above in a strange formation.
As Zhang Ruochen stepped out, ripples spread under his feet. “I heard that the implement spirit of the Azuresky PaG.o.da had long been missing. Now there is only the consciousness of the implement spirit left here. If you are to fight me, things will not end up well for you.”
“Young man, I may be just an implement spirit’s consciousness, but I have been in existence for one hundred thousand years.”
The next second, the stars above plunged from the sky.
They were as if the actual stars, becoming larger and larger as they fell with an immeasurable amount of energy. Even the Supreme Saints would probably be crushed to their death, let alone a Seven-step Saint King like Zhang Ruochen.
“Lend me your power, Qiankun Realm!”
As Zhang Ruochen raised his right hand in a palm, the entire Qiankun Realm raged with storms and dark clouds blocking the sky. The energy of the entire world was focused on the Azuresky PaG.o.da.
The falling stars vanished, turning into tiny pieces of rock as they plunged toward the ground.
A green Bi-an magical beast appeared behind these falling stars.
“So you are the implement spirit’s consciousness of the Azuresky PaG.o.da?”
Zhang Ruochen sent out his sword soul.
The three-inch-tall sword soul appeared on the black hou’s head, holding a long sword, and was ready to strike.
The sword soul could attack not long the saint souls of the cultivators but also the implement spirits of sacred artifacts.
But the sword soul did not strike.
Because the Azuresky PaG.o.da that kept the consciousness of the implement spirit would be much more powerful than without the implement spirit.
If can, he would like to bring it under his control.
The green Bi-an suddenly sighed. “Your speed of growth is twice as fast as what I expected, Zhang Ruochen.”
“So you are not going to resist?” asked Zhang Ruochen.
“You have the power to destroy me. Why would I still want to resist?”
Zhang Ruochen almost wanted to call it a coward. But at last, he let out a smile. “As far as I know, the implement spirit of the Azuresky PaG.o.da is the guardian of the Chi Clan. And I am an enemy of the Chi clan. Aren’t you afraid that once I take control of the Azuresky PaG.o.da, I would wipe out the Chi Clan?”
“You can’t do that. When the implement spirit returns, no one can control the Azuresky PaG.o.da. I could already smell the aura of the implement spirit. It should return very soon,” said the green Bi-an.
The implement spirits of all the Supreme Artifacts in the Kunlun Realm had been missing, which had perplexed Zhang Ruochen for a long time.
Today, it seemed that he would find the answer here.
“Where did the implement spirit of the Azuresky PaG.o.da go?” asked Zhang Ruochen.
“I have no idea.”
The green Bi-an shook its head. “But once we sense each other, it means that it will be born very soon.”
Since the Azuresky PaG.o.da’s implement spirit was not destroyed, it would be born again.
But what about the implement spirits of other supreme artifacts?
Would they be born again at the same time?
Where did they go for the past one hundred thousand years? Why would they want to leave the artifacts?
Zhang Ruochen shot out green and white-patterned Divine Purification Flame. It turned into a ma.s.sive fire to engulf and control the green Bi-an.
He then withdrew from the paG.o.da and spread out his hands.
The Azuresky PaG.o.da landed on his palm. This paG.o.da that was as huge as a mountain earlier had returned to just nine-inch in height.
“With this supreme artifact in hand, there will be no place where I can’t go in the Kunlun Realm.” He placed his hand behind his back and looked like a king as confidence rose within him
He immediately started studying the G.o.dslayer Cross-s.h.i.+eld and the Compendium of Thousand Beasts.
