Chapter 1855 - Gongming (1/2)

Zhang Ruochen stood straight at the center of the Black Altar like a spear, his posture heroic with a terrifying aura about him as he said, “Zhang Ruochen.”

“Here I was thinking who was that unruly lout, it turned out to be the self-styled Prince of the Eastern Region, Zhang Ruochen.”

“It seems like he really regards himself as the master of the Eastern Region, and did not even put the Dizu Divine Dynasty in his eyes.”

…

Several contemptuous waves of laughter rang out from Luoshui.

One of them, named Yue Gongming, stood beside Eunuch Que.

Four streams of Saint Qi blasted out from Yue Gongming’s palm.

The Saint Qi condensed into chains and rescued the four Golden Imperial Guards out of the water.

Yue Gongming smiled slightly. “Who said Zhang Ruochen did not put the Dizu Divine Dynasty in his eyes? As a Prince of a region, for him to not kill the four Goldscale Imperial Guard outright, it shows that he dares not offend the Dizu Divine Dynasty.”

Zhang Ruochen had long expected that the moment he announced himself as the Prince of the Eastern Region, there would be many elites who would not accept it. Either laughing at him for being too self-presumptuous or did not even look at him as the Prince of the Eastern Region at all.

It did not matter.

All powerhouses only became invincible after being tempered by constant challenges.

Zhang Ruochen was not afraid of challenges nor provocations, but at this moment, he was not in the mood to fight the cultivators here, so he drove the Black Altar straight toward Luoshui.

“For him to actually ignoring our prohibition, get down here.”

Yue Gongming’s gaze focused as he lifted his hand, and a large amount of saint path precepts rushed out from his body across all directions and changed the precepts of heaven and earth in the area.

Freezing winds kicked up within a radius of hundreds of miles, forming into a ma.s.sive tornado and enclosing the Black Altar.

This person wanted to use the wind force to forcefully pull the Black Altar down.

Yue Gongming was one of the twelve Gongmings of the Shentian Sect, and his cultivation was quite powerful. He was not a weakling.

First of all, the Shentian Sect was one of the top ancient sects of the Imperial Path Macroworld, and its leader was a supreme true G.o.d with hundreds of millions of disciples spread across many macroworlds.

The so-called “Gongming”, was chosen from the Nine-step Saint Kings of the Shentian Sect that consisted of talented people who had the best chance to reach Supreme Sainthood.

Each of the twelve Gongmings could dominate a single area alone.

The G.o.d Queen of the Dizu Divine Dynasty, that was, the Queen Mother of the Dizu Crown Prince was the daughter of the Supreme Leader of the Shentian Sect, and her position was lofty.

Thus, it was not something strange that Yue Gongming would be together with Eunuch Que. He must have been called upon by the Dizu Crown Prince.

“Break!”

Zhang Ruochen tore open a dimensional rift that was dozens of meters long and tore the tornado aside as he drove the Black Altar, rus.h.i.+ng out of it.

“Heh, his usage of the power of s.p.a.ce is quite skillful at the very least.”

Yue Gongming transformed into a stream of light and overtook the Black Altar as he formed a hand seal. “Heavenfall Seal.”

Nearly one hundred thousand Saint Path Precepts gushed out of both of Yue Gongming’s palm, as the Saint Qi of heaven and earth were constantly drawn over, and formed a blinding seal mark.

It was just a seal, but the brilliance that came out of it was even more dazzling than the sun, and even a Saint King dared not look directly at it.

“Knowing that I’ve slain Jueyan Hu, and he still dared to provoke me. This person sure has some real ability.” Zhang Ruochen said to himself.

If not for the fact Zhang Ruochen was in a hurry, he perhaps would have stayed behind and fought him.

Zhang Ruochen infused his spiritual power into the Black Altar, and instantly the 18 array flags that were deployed on the altar all unleashed dazzling flames. Eighteen pillars of flames rushed into the air as they converged together, and struck the seal Yue Gongming had made.

Booom!

Two powerful forces collided against each other in the air.

Half of the sky were flashed white, while another half was turned into a sea of flames. The scene was extremely awe-inspiring.

Yue Gongming fell back and dropped onto the surface of the water as he glided several hundred feet on the surface before managing to stabilize himself.

He raised his head and looked at the disappearing Black Altar. There was no longer any smile on his face. “I thought that Zhang Ruochen had only managed to kill Jueyan Hu by using the power of the ancient wards. I never thought that even without it, he was actually not weak at all.”

Eunuch Que said. “Forget it. Since Zhang Ruochen does not want to be our enemy, let’s not provoke him, especially in this sensitive period.”

“Is there any use for us guarding here any longer? I suspect that that Blood Wasp from the Infernal Court had already entered Luoshui,” Yue Gongming said.

Eunuch Que’s face was solemn as he said, “Our task is to seal Luoshui. Even if that Blood Wasp enters Luoshui, His Royal Highness and the two Gongmings should be enough to deal with it.”

…

The Black Altar flew into Luoshui, and a few hundred miles in, the fog on the water got thicker and thicker.

In the air, ancient inscription wards appeared, and if contact was made, the wards will call upon a destructive force to attack the Black Altar.

The formation array inside the Black Altar activated, forming a black sphere with a diameter of hundreds of feet.

A purple thunderbolt as thick as a water barrel struck against the black light screen outside the Black Altar. On the surface of the light screen, ripples appeared and nullified the power of the thunderbolt.

But the deeper he went into Luoshui, the more terrifying the attack power was.

A wind blade a hundred miles long, like an aurora, struck from the horizon, and the black light screen trembled violently as if it was about to shatter.

Awesome the Little Taoist was a little anxious as he took out the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror and held it in his hand, saying, “The defensive power of the Black Altar is at its limits, right? There must have been someone powerful that had deployed a killer inscription ward here. It’s not something we can breakthrough. How about… we head back first, and find another way? ”
