Chapter 1935 - Walk" In The Divine Body

“That was a quick escape. I wonder what the situation on Brother Zhang’s side is.”

Zheng Yuan could not help but look in the Cliff of Doom’s direction.

He still needed to stand guard outside the Cliff of Doom to stop Path’s Anterior fighters from entering. He had promised Zhang Ruochen this, and he was going to keep his word.

He was willing to do this, especially when after this, Zhang Ruochen would be indebted to him.

The battle at the bottom of the cliff was intense. Fighters from different forces were coveting the divine body and Godstones, but were stopped by the combat array formed by 500 Rakshasa Dukes on the outside.

After a round of fierce fighting, those forces had failed to defeat the combat array. Instead, they were suffering from great casualty with one Heaven’s Reach fighter severely wounded.

The combat array of the Rakshasa, one of ten clans of the Infernal Court, was the most legendary. Anyone encountering this array was going to have a big headache.

It was especially terrifying when thousands of Rakshasa cultivators formed a massive combat array on a large battlefield.

Spear Fiend and 35 other Rakshasa princes had formed the Empyrean Extinction Array inside the mouth of the divine snake, trapped Zhang Ruochen and four others in the array.

“Found it.”

Ji Fanxin’s eyes flashed.

She immediately sent the loopholes she found to Zhang Ruochen through spiritual power.

The corner of Zhang Ruochen’s mouth curled up as he cast out the Zangshan Demonic Mirror with the flick of his hand.

A bolt of black lightning struck the mirror just in time.

The Zangshan Demonic Mirror had its strange ability by deflecting the black lightning while making it even more powerful.

Bang!

The deflected lightning struck the weakest link of the Empyrean Extinction Array, instantly leaving behind a crack.

Taking this opportunity, the nine dragon souls pulled the Golden Dragon Carriage and got out through the crack.

Spear Fiend was not panicking, though. As soon as the crack appeared in the Empyrean Extinction Array, the 36 Rakshasa princes became one body. It was a giant of a hundred yards tall, enough to block the snake’s mouth.

More precisely, it was not the 36 Rakshasa princes who had become one but their energies. Their evil energies had formed a giant with the 36 princes inside and under the protection of the giant’s body.

There were two strange vortexes on both sides of the giant’s head. Bolts of lightning danced like dragons inside the vortexes.

Bang!

A bolt of black lightning struck out of a vortex at the Golden Dragon Carriage.

The Eight-Dragon Umbrella spun in front of the carriage, blocking the incoming black lightning.

The Eight-Dragon Umbrella undoubtedly had better defensive ability than the Golden Dragon Carriage.

“Die!”

The giant brandished the regal weapon-class spear and thrust at the Eight-Dragon Umbrella at the sound of Spear Fiend.

But Zhang Ruochen did not use the Eight-Dragon Umbrella but the Zangshan Demonic Mirror to block the spear.

The Eight-Dragon Umbrella might rank close to the regal weapon, but its internal inscriptions had not transformed into regal inscriptions and itself had not gone through the tribulation, head-on collision could damage it.

Repairing a Thousand-Inscription Sacred Artifact like this was too much of a trouble.

While the Zangshan Demonic Mirror blocked the spear, Zhang Ruochen cast out the Azuresky Pagoda and struck at the giant of Supreme Power.

Boom!

Another bolt of black lightning from the other vortex struck the Azuresky Pagoda and stopped it from spinning.

Right at that moment, out of nowhere, Zhang Ruochen appeared behind the giant’s head. The Ancient Abyssal Blade appeared in his hand in a flash with sword force gathering at the tip of the blade. It was so sharp that it seemed it could cut through anything.

The Ancient Abyssal Blade thrust into the giant’s skull. But barely two inches into the head, it was stopped.

The giant threw an arm back, trying to grab Zhang Ruochen.

He was quick to respond, pulling out the Ancient Abyssal Blade and performing a Dimensional Shift to return to the Golden Dragon Carriage. All that happened in just a split second.

“True to a combat array formed by thirty-six Rakshasa princes. Nasty and impeccable.”

Zhang Ruochen was impressed.

The way he looked at it, the strength of this combat array could rival that of Neverwither Supreme Saint. Few non-Supreme Saint fighters could defeat it by brute force.

“Let’s get out of here.”

Immediately, Zhang Ruochen drove the Golden Dragon Carriage and stormed out of the snake’s mouth.

The combat array of the 36 Rakshasa princes was nasty. But what about the 500 Rakshasa Dukes outside?

Staying inside the snake’s mouth was limiting what he could do. It was still more convenient to come outside. At least, he could easily escape if something unexpected happened.

The nine dragon souls pulled the Golden Dragon Carriage and stormed out rapidly.

Two Rakshasa Dukes, who stood in the way, were crushed, instantly turning into two groups of blood mist.

As this happened, the combat array formed by the 500 Rakshasa Dukes collapsed. The other fighters took this opportunity and stormed in.

In just a moment, a few dozen Rakshasa Dukes were attacked and killed.

The remaining Dukes responded quickly. Among them, 360 formed the Orbital Stealth Array, and 81 of them formed the Grand Re-origination Array.

While the remaining dukes took cover inside the Orbital Stealth Array.

As there were too many fighters storming in, any duke who was alone would immediately become a target of attack.

After the Rakshasas got a hold of themselves, they immediately launched a counterattack and killed nearly a hundred fighters in the blink of an eye.

“Get ready to die, Zhang Ruochen.”

Spear Fiend roared in anger as he had the combat array in control and came out of the snake mouth.

Evil energy gathered and as it formed into a war spear, he hurled it at Zhang Ruochen at 1,000 times the speed of sound.

It was impossible to dodge the spear flying at this speed, so Zhang Ruochen held the Ancient Abyssal Blade in front of him.

Clank!

As the war spear hit the Ancient Abyssal Blade, a horrible energy ran through the blade and up to his arms.

With the energy that the war spear carried, it could even destroy a higher-order Thousand-Inscription Sacred Artifact.

But the Ancient Abyssal Blade was undamaged, thanks to its special material.

Zhang Ruochen’s arms shivered. The Supreme Saint-class dragon soul and elephant soul appeared to resist the horrible energy of the war spear.

After retreating for a dozen steps, Zhang Ruochen could finally keep his foot firmly on the ground and divert the energy of the war spear.

“He made it?” Spear Fiend was shocked.

At first, this move of his could at least wound Zhang Ruochen, if not kill him. Little did he expect that Zhang Ruochen could not only withstand it but also came out unscathed.

Zhang Ruochen stretched and moved in a flash to rejoin with others.

It was a close call. If not for his body attaining the toughness just below the Supreme Sainthood, and the gathering of the Supreme Saint-class dragon and elephant souls in his arms, he could have been hurt or even killed.

The ground suddenly cracked open as giant vines grew out of the earth. The vines twined and struck at the giant formed by the 36 Rakshasa princes.

Upon leaving the snake’s mouth, Ji Fanxin could now perform her spiritual power at whims and with better strength.

Thousands of vines emerged and drowned the giant in seconds. The vines would regenerate themselves after being cut in half. They had infinite life.

But that was not all of it; the vines started to bloom, and the flowers gave out a strange scent.

It was not an ordinary scent but highly toxic substance—so toxic that it could kill a Saint King cultivator if inhaled even just a little.

The giant was perfectly formed, but not without weaknesses. The all-pervasive flower scent was a problem for it.

“I will deal with this combat array while you go to collect the divine body,” said Ji Fanxin.

Zhang Ruochen nodded and made his move.

They were here for the Godstones and divine body, no point getting too serious with the Rakshasa.

As soon as they got their hands on the Godstones and divine body, they would walk away.

Zhang Ruochen stood in front of the snake head and summoned the Qiankun Realm.

As the divine body was too large, only Qiankun Realm was large enough to accommodate it.

A powerful suction force was released and got hold of the snake’s head as it tried to pull the divine body out of the rock.

Just then, Zhang Ruochen’s expression changed.

He had used all his strength to power the Qiankun Realm, but it was useless. The body of the snake just would not budge an inch, as if it had grown together with the earth.

“You are just wasting your energy, Zhang Ruochen. You need me if you want to take the divine body.”

The voice of the evil spirit suddenly spoke from inside the Qiankun Realm.

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, I have devoured the Dark Manifestation of Divine Will and know how to control the divine body. To me, this divine body is the most perfect body.” The evil spirit laughed in a hoarse voice.

“Then what are you waiting for?” A smile broke out on Zhang Ruochen’s face.

Immediately, the evil spirit abandoned its current Supreme Saint body, came out of the Qiankun Realm, and flew into the divine body.

Why still lingered in a Supreme Saint body when there was a better one?

Zhang Ruochen let the evil spirit have the divine body while he attacked the Grand Re-origination Array.

The Empyrean Extinction Array was too nasty. So he picked a lamer one.

Boom!

The Grand Re-origination Array collapsed on impact.

The 81 Rakshasa dukes were wounded, some even puking blood.

“Where are you all going?”

Xiang Chunan was in high fighting spirit as he cast out his Metal Demonic Crown.

While he was at it, he lunged out with a massive demonic energy and struck at a Class-2 duke.

Feng Yan and Pei Yutian did not sit idle. Together with Xiang Chuhan, they killed their way out. Without the aid of combat arrays, those Rakshasa dukes were no longer a threat.

Despite the speed of these Rakshasa dukes, only less than one third of them made it into the Orbital Stealth Array while the rest of them were killed.

Just when the Orbital Stealth Array started to attack, Zhang Ruochen stood in front of them, blocking all the attacks with the Eight-Dragon Umbrella in the nick of time.

“Heavenly Dragon-Elephant!”

His arms shook as he performed the twelfth move of Dragon-Elephant Prajna Palm Strike.

A powerful energy rushed out of him, ten thousand Precepts of the Palm were formed, and Precepts of Truth were summoned.

Boom!

The dragon and elephant flew out, they were so large that they could almost block the sky. One could clear the shocking scene when looking down from the Cliff of Doom.
