Chapter 2201 - Deva Path Of Yama

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Ruochen stood on the Altar of Saints and looked at Bookworm and Moha, who were struggling. Both of them were severely injured. The fact that they were able to hold on until now was all thanks to their strong willpower to live.

Even with a body as strong as Moha was now full of cracks, and his Saint blood was almost drained. Bookworm’s injuries were heavier. He only had one arm left, and there was a big hole in his chest where his beating heart was exposed

If an ordinary Nine-Step Saint King suffered such a heavy injury, they would be likely dead, let alone continue fighting.

“Isn’t it great to have ‘friends’ who come from afar visit us? Hahaha!”

Although Bookworm’s body was already swaying, he burst out laughing loudly.

Even if he and Moha died to protect the dimensional teleportation array, it was still worth it.

Moha didn’t say a word. He withdrew the last amount of Saint blood in his body and fused it into Sacred Confucian Tome.

Even though he saw the arrival of reinforcements, he still could not relax. Instead, he felt a stronger sense of urgency.

The dimensional teleportation array leading to Saturn Peach Tree was in the peach forest behind them. One could almost see the outline of the array through the peach blossoms.

Under the attack of Infernal Court, they had no way to retreat.

“Kunlun is at its crucial moment at stake. All cultivators,attack with all your might!” Zhang Ruochen said.

Immediately, the Altar of Saints released a towering Saint Aura and crashed forward at high speed.

Members of Guardian Dragon Pavilion and many Rogue Saints activated the Altar of Saints together. Its power was unimaginable. Even if a Realm was blocked in front, it would be smashed into pieces.

At the same time, many powerful figures who were standing on the Altar of Saints started to attack. They used all kinds of Saint Techniques and war weapons. None of them held back.

Zhang Ruochen took out Zangshan Demonic Mirror and activated countless Supreme Power. They condensed into a myriad of demonic mountains and were suppressed from the sky.

“Jadesky Bone Emperor, Nether Fiend, Juexin, you guys continue to attack. Those two scholars are exhausted, and they can’t hold on for long. The rest block Zhang Ruochen and the others,”

Yan Wushen immediately gave the order.

As he spoke, he handed Saint Jade that contained the Nine-heavens Maiden’s Saint blood to Shi Juexin, the leader of Stone Clan.

Shi Juexin who was 300 meters tall was emitting a thick aura. He had an indestructible body of stone that was stronger than Neverwither physique. There was only a handful of people who dared to fight him head-on.

Shi Juexin chuckled, “Don’t worry. I’ll get rid of them soon. Once I lock onto Saturn Peach Tree’s dimensional coordinates, I’ll immediately inform our lord ancestor, Huang Tian.”

With a wave of his hand, Yan Wushen took out an ancient mottled stone bridge. It was very similar to the illusory Bridge of Vaitarna that he had used a secret technique to condense.

This bridge was indeed called “The Bridge of Vaitarna”. It was naturally formed after ten million years. Countless profound arcane runes were imprinted on it, and it possessed boundless power. It was the most precious asset of Yanluo clan.

Considering the importance of this mission, the deities of Yanluo clan had specially allowed Yan Wushen to bring the Bridge of Vaitarna as contingency measure.

There were four elites of Yanluo clan behind Yan Wushen. At this moment, the four of them cooperated with Yan Wushen to activate The Bridge of Vaitarna.

To cultivators of Celestial Court, Yanluo clan had always been very mysterious. This was because—besides Yan Wushen who was an exceptional case—the cultivators of Yanluo clan rarely went to Battlefield of Merit.

The four elites sent out this time were also unknown to others. However, each of them was extremely powerful. The weakest one had about 70 percent of the cultivation base of Evil Yan Wushen’s strength. Moreover, the strongest one was a tad weaker than good Yan Wushen’s strength.

As the supreme clan of Infernal Court, Yanluo clan had a deeply rooted heritage.

Under the urging of Infernal Yama Qi, The Bridge of Vaitarna was quickly recovered. It was emitting an extremely ancient aura. Faintly, it sounded as if someone was sighing.

An extremely mysterious power was released from the Bridge of Vaitarna, seemingly capable of nullifying all attacks in the world.

The powerful figures of the other six clans from Infernal Court had made their moves. Every single of them got the skills powerful enoughto destroy heavens and earth. The intense fight made Rainbow Pavilion the Microworld tremble.

Boom

The Altar of Saints and Bridge of Vaitarna collided violently, creating terrifying ripples of power. A large area of space was shattered, and countless spatial fragments flew about.

However, this impact didn’t spread too wide. Instead, it quickly dissipated.

“Zhang Ruochen, you can’t go any further with me here. No matter how you struggle, you can’t stop Saturn Peach Tree from being chopped off.

“This time, Kunlun will have no hope and fall into darkness forever.” Yan Wushen stood at the Bridge of Vaitarna with his hands behind his back, exuding an invincible aura.

Zhang Ruochen calmly said, “The fate of Kunlun is not something you can decide. No matter how many tricks you have up your sleeves, I will take on them all.”

At this point, they had no way out. Their only choice was to fight this life-or-death battle.

“I’m looking forward to swallowing all these delicious Saint Souls. When I do, not only will I recover to my prime, I can advance my cultivation even further. Since you dare to come, then none of you can escape.” Lan Xuezi said with fierce eyes.

Rainbow Pavilion had long been isolated by Realm-sealing Talisman. The fact that Zhang Ruochen was able to break in proved that he was indeed very capable. However, it’s going to be a hard way out. It was as if he had walked right into a trap.

“he fairies from Portrait of the Nine Beauties are as beautiful as I have expected. Fairy Ci Hang, Fairy of a Hundred Flowers, Fairy Tianchu, and Fairy Linglong, fighting and killing is no game for you ladies. It’s best to surrender early so that you won’t get hurt by accident,” Great Prince Bloodwing of Rakshasa said with a deviant look in his eyes.

No matter where they were, beautiful women were always the focus of attention.

At this moment, many powerful figures of Infernal Court were sizing up Fairy Ci Hang, Fairy of a Hundred Flowers, Fairy Tianchu, and Fairy Linglong with unscrupulous eyes.

It was very rare for four fairies to appear at the same time. Usually only half of them showed up.

Including Fairy Shadowless who was suppressed by Zhang Ruochen in Jungle Microworld, more than half of them showed up.

Ao Xukong took a step forward and released his Supreme Dragon Qi. He pointed at Great Prince Bloodwing and said, “How dare you hold filthy intention against my sister. Tell me, how do you want to die?”

“How brazen! I’ve always wanted to taste the flesh of Pentaclaw Golden Dragon, but I didn’t expect you to come to me of your own accord.” Great Prince Bloodwing sneered.

Ao Xukong snorted. “I’m afraid you don’t have teeth good enough for it. Die!”

As he spoke, Ao Xukong had already made his move. His right hand turned into a dragon claw and directly grabbed Great Prince Bloodwing.

Whoosh

His Dragon Claw was extremely sharp. It tore apart several pitch-black cracks in the space in front of him.

Without hesitation, Great Prince Bloodwing slashed out his blood wings like a sharp blade to fight back.

Seeing that the two of them had made their move, the others did not hesitate either. Zhen Yuan, Murong Yefeng, Jiang Yunchong, and the rest immediately rushed down from the Altar of Saints. They pounced towards the group of powerful figures from Infernal Court.

Nie Xiangzi went to find Lord Xue Chen. Apparently, he wanted to fight with Lord Xue Chen again. However, this time it was not merely a fight to find out who was the winner; it was a fight of life and death.

The battle had started, and only one side would walk out of Rainbow Pavilion alive.

Zhang Ruochen’s side had far fewer elites than Infernal Court’s, but they had the advantage of having more people. That meant they could gang up on the Infernal Court elites .

As long as they could kill a few powerful elites of Infernal Court first, the situation would be greatly changed.

Zhang Ruochen released his spiritual power and said to Maiden of a Thousand Stars beside him, “Try to locate the High-Saint Talisman Master who controls Realm-sealing Talisman.”

Maiden of a Thousand Stars immediately understood his intention upon hearing him. The reason why the situation at Rainbow Pavilion did not attract the attention of the army of Celestial Court was mainly because of the presence of Realm-sealing Talisman.

If she could kill the High-Saint Talisman Master from Infernal Court and completely break Realm-sealing Talisman, she could draw Celestial Court’s army here. By that time, the crisis would be naturally resolved.

“Leave it to me,” Maiden of a Thousand Stars replied.

She was an all-rounded Saint Master. Very similar to Moha, she was proficient in all kinds of techniques, including talismans.

However, the High-Saint Talisman Master from Infernal Court had completely concealed his aura using the power of Realm-sealing Talisman. It was not an easy task to locate him.

The bodies of Moha and Bookworm were in tatters. If it wasn’t for Saturn Peach Tree’s divine force constantly seeping into their bodies through dimensional teleportation array, they would have not been able to hold on until now.

Or else, the cultivators of Internal Court could have crushed them into ashes and destroyed their souls and bodies. It would have been impossible to hang on till now.

But now, even with Saturn Peach Tree’s divine power, they could not hang in there anymore. Saint blood in their bodies was almost drained.

Zhang Ruochen knew that the situation was critical. He turned into a beam of Saint light, broke through the formation set up by a High-Saint Array Master from Infernal Court with his body, and rushed straight towards Moha and Bookworm.

He could not afford to lose dimensional teleportation array. So, he had to guard it personally.

“Zhang Ruochen, you can’t get through!”

Two immortal level zombie kings of Corpusian, Jiang Lin and Tian Xuan flew up and struck out a palm at the same time.

Zhang Ruochen attacked with all his might. He too launched a palm strike. The roaring of dragons and elephants erupted from his palms. Nine dragons and nine elephants flew out at once and collided with the palm strikes of Jiang Lin and Tian Xuan.

Boom

The powerful shockwaves from his palm strike shook the ground in this space violently.

“We Corpusian have endless power. Zhang Ruochen, no matter how strong you are, you can’t fight against two alone,” Tian Xuan said.

Zhang Ruochen snorted at them. The power of Path of Truth burst out, and the power of his palm strike kept increasing.

Jiang Lin and Tianxuan flew backward. Their bodies similar to Neverwither physique were torn apart and turned into pieces.

“Jiang Lin and Tianxuan can’t defeat Zhang Ruochen for one round even when they team up,”

All the powerful figures in Infernal Court couldn’t keep calm. They all thought, ‘Zhang Ruochen is formidable.’

Jiang Lin and Tianxuan had both reached the immortal level. Although their bodies were shattered, they didn’t die. Before pieces fell to the ground, they condensed into human forms and turned into complete corpses.

Looking up, Zhang Ruochen had already passed them and rushed toward the two Confucianism scholars.

Jiang Lin and Tianxuan looked at each other and said, “There is always someone better than you. Zhang Ruochen is indeed Yan Wushen’s greatest rival. Other cultivators of their generation would serve as their foil.”

There were many powerful figures present, but only Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen worthy enough to be each other’s opponent.

Jiang Lin and Tian Xuan surmised that they would need to at least double their combat strength to team up against Zhang Ruochen.

Boom

Yan Wushen attacked and stopped Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen looked in the direction of Moha and Bookworm again. He found that they had retreated to the edge of the dimensional teleportation array.

There was no way back.

“You’re distracted! If I had attacked just now, you would have been injured. You would have fallen into an irreversible disadvantage and died at my hands,” Yan Wushen said.

Zhang Ruochen knew that this was Yan Wushen’s psychological warfare, but he also knew that he was telling the truth. It was fatal to be distracted when facing a superior like Yan Wushen, even if it was only for a moment.

“Then why didn’t you attack?” Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath and suppressed his worry about dimensional teleportation array. He fixed his eyes on Yan Wushen completely.

Yan Wushen said, “It could take a long period to have someone like you born. The probability of us meeting in this era is a ghost of a chance.

“Therefore, I care more about our fight than destroying Kunlun.

“If I kill you before you reach your prime,it will be my greatest regret of my life.”

Zhang Ruochen had completely adjusted his state of mind. He shook his head and said, “No, you have been defeated by me. Therefore, you have planted a demon within you.

“If you can’t defeat me in my prime, that demon will always exist.

“It may not affect your cultivation to become a Supreme Saint, but it will be a big obstacle for you to become a god.

“It will also be a big variable to overcome the calamity of Yuanhui Tribulation in the future.”

When they said the first sentence to each other, they had already started war.

War of the mind.

Both of them had attained the Great Perfection of Saint Kinghood, so there was no big gap between their strengths. Whoever could gain the upper hand psychologically, or make the other’s psychological flaws appear, would have a 70 to 80 percent chance of winning.

Zhang Ruochen was in distress, so he was at an absolute disadvantage.

The battle had not started yet, but Yan Wushen tipped the scale.

Yan Wushen naturally understood this, so he spoke no more words. He just looked at Zhang Ruochen quietly. He had already warned Zhang Ruochen. If Zhang Ruochen repeated the same mistake, he would kill Zhang Ruochen, and there would be no “demon”.

Zhang Ruochen was trying to adjust his state of mind so that he could be as calm as possible.

Time continued to pass.

The area where the two were in might seem peaceful. It was actually the most dangerous.

Their willpower spread out and collided fiercely.

Their willpower was invisible and extremely terrifying. Even a Nine-Step Saint King would be annihilated in an instant if he barged into this area.

After Zhang Ruochen underwent self-cultivation training at Imperial Ruler, his spiritual will had become unimaginably strong. No one with ranks below Supreme Sainthood could rival him.

His state of mind was completely restored.

Boom

At a certain moment, terrifying killing intent burst out from Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen simultaneously.

For a moment, the sky and earth changed color.

Endless murderous auraemerged and evolved into an illusory Realm of Slaughter.

Every strand of murderous aura took a form. Whether they were fierce spiritual beasts or powerful spiritual soldiers, just the aura they emitted was enough to make people shudder.

Roar

Billions of fierce spirits roared and charged together crazily.

Even though they were far away, the rest of the people in Rainbow Pavilion felt pins and needles.

Jadesky Bone Emperor’s heart sank. He had originally wanted to challenge Zhang Ruochen for the redemptive glory of Bone Clan. But now, he suppressed this thought after analyzing the situation.

He was a genius nurtured by Fane of Bone. He practiced Deva Path of Jade, one of the three major paths by Bone Clan. Every bone of his was as clear as jade, immortal and indestructible. There were no flaws in his Saint Soul.

Although he didn’t have a great reputation, his strength was far more superior than Dark Skeletal Lord and the Three Emperors of Bone Clan.

The Bone clan elites had been killed by Zhang Ruochen outside the Imperial city brutally. They had suffered a crushing defeat. Jadesky Bone Emperor had no choice but to come to Kunlun personally.

‘With Zhang Ruochen’s current cultivation, Yan Wushen might not even be able to do any harm to him. It seems that I have to find a way to create some trouble for Zhang Ruochen,’ Jadesky Bone Emperor thought to himself.

He wasn’t the only one with that thought as many powerful figures in Infernal Court were having the same idea in mind.

The more powerful Zhang Ruochen was, the more others wanted him dead. Otherwise, he would become a huge threat to Infernal Court.

Boom

After several collisions, the illusory Realm of Slaughter collapsed. All the killing intent died away.

With a thought, Zhang Ruochen mobilized millions of Precepts of Dimension in his body and instantly condensed a Profound Spatial Dimension.

Without any suppression, his Profound Spatial Dimension covered a radius of 30,000 feet. It was colossal.

Even if other dimension cultivators condensed a Profound Spatial Dimension, it usually won’t cover more than 1000 feet.

Almost at the same time, Yan Wushen also condensed a Profound Spatial Dimension. Their Profound Spatial Dimensions overlapped and crushed towards each other.

Rumble

A large area of space shook violently, revealing countless pitch-black cracks.

Profound Spatial Dimension Yan Wushen condensed was of the same quality as Zhang Ruochen’s. So, no one could gain any upper hand.

Zhang Ruochen wasn’t too surprised.

It wasn’t surprising that Yan Wushen could cultivate the Great Perfection of Saint Kinghood and Path of Dimension. So it was foreseeable that he’d condensed a Grade One Profound Spatial Dimension.

Whoosh

With a thought, Zhang Ruochen pointed in a direction, and a vast River of Time appeared.

Different from the illusory image of River of Time he’d summoned before, this River of Time was extremely solid as if it existed.

The trip to Celestial Domain of Truth had finally allowed Zhang Ruochen to understand the mysteries of Path of Time and successfully condensed the River of Time.

“A 2 long River of Time. Zhang Ruochen has broken barriers. What a monster,” Wan Xin revealed a look of shock.

A River of Time condensed by a Saint King was all different. The worst was 2 miles long, 6 miles would be for someone more powerful. It’s rare when it is over 10 miles while the best was 18 miles long.

It was a legend that someone could condense it 20 miles long.

“Wan Xin was very talented and specialized in Path of Time. He once condensed a 16 miles long River of Time. Hardly anyone could match up to him.”

But it was nothing compared to Zhang Ruochen.

Even with a minor difference in length of River of Time, the contrast was still like heaven and earth.

“Master has really good taste. No wonder Master didn’t care about his appearance and chose Zhang Ruochen as the target for possession,” Wan Xin thought.

In his mind, Asurendra Samay must have already seen it all and made such an arrangement.

Asurendra Samay was very special. This deity wasn’t a flesh and blood lifeform. Instead, it was born a spiritual intelligence from a piece of Jade of Time andcultivated to his current form.

Therefore, Asurendra Samay is genderless.

However, Asurendra Samay was extremely beautiful, and it was more inclined towards femininity.

When choosing a body to possess, Asurendra Samay actually intended to find a female body.

Unfortunately, it hadn’t been able to find a suitable one.

Since its true form was Jade of Time, not any ordinary people could be Asurendra Samay’s target of possession.

Two basic conditions had to be met first. First, the target had to be a Master of Time. Besides that, he or she had to acquire Five-element Chaotic Body.

Asurendra Samay attained its Godhood through Path of time. Naturally, it had to possess a physical body of a Master of Time.

As for Five-element Chaotic Body, it was because of Asurendra Samay’s special body. Ordinary physiques could not contain its origin.

Five-element Chaotic Body was like a chaotic universe. It was the most inclusive, and Time was no exception.

Although Master of Time and Five-element Chaotic Body were very rare, they could still be found in Celestial Court and Infernal Court.

However, it was like finding a needle in a haystack to look for someone who met both two conditions.

Coincidentally, Zhang Ruochen appeared right at the moment. His bone structure, physical quality, and the identity of Saint Monk Xumi’s successor were all valued by Asurendra Samay. Therefore, it changed its mind.

Asurendra Samay had been hurt by Saint Monk Xumi. If it could possess Zhang Ruochen, it could take revenge for the past.

At the same time, it could also get a glimpse of the inheritance of Saint Monk Xumi’s legacy and cultivate Path of Dimension. In the future, he would be able to improve even further.

Wan Xin was looking forward more and more to Yan Wushen being able to suppress Zhang Ruochen. If his master could possess such a perfect body, he could not imaginehow powerful his master could be.

“Pagoda of Origin, suppress.”

Yan Wushen shouted. Millions of Precepts of Origin surged out of his body.

In the blink of an eye, all Precepts of Origin intertwined and turned into a 10,000-foot-tall Origin Pagoda. It had 10,000 stories.

Origin Pagoda wanted to suppress River of Time, but River of Time was like a divine dragon that coiled around Pagoda of Origin.

All of a sudden, time and origin in a large area became chaotic. Everything the two forces touched turned into ashes.

The others in Rainbow Pavilion couldn’t help but step back, afraid of being affected.

Path of the Ancients was a terrifying power. Many people couldn’t help but be afraid.

It was especially terrifying when the power was manifested by Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen. Many Supreme Sainthood elites choose to stay away from them.

“How could a Saint King cultivate Path of the Ancients to such a terrifying extent. What kind of monsters are they?”

Many people couldn’t help but have this thought.

At this time, everyone clearly realized the gap between them and the two— Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen.

‘I can’t drag this fight any longer. I have to end this quickly,’ Zhang Ruochen thought.

Immediately, Zhang Ruochen formed a seal with both hands. Boundless Five-element Chaotic Qi surged out of his body and combined with a million Precepts of Truth.

In an instant, a huge and special Realm-frame of Truth was formed. It hung above Zhang Ruochen’s head and gave off a terrifying power that could suppress heaven and earth.

Zhang Ruochen had cultivated a total of 11 Paths to Great Perfection. This was his huge advantage as it included three Paths of the Ancients .

Yan Wushen had one less Path than him, which was exactly one Path of the Ancients.

Now that he used to Realm-frame of Truth, he wanted to see how Yan Wushen would deal with it.

Path of the Ancients transcended everything. After reaching Great perfection, the power it possessed was far from a Great Perfection Path of Supreme Saint. There was a fundamental difference.

“The third type of Path of the Ancients to Great Perfection, Zhang Ruochen. You surprised me. Fine, I’ll let you have a little taste of Deva Path of Yama from Yanluo clan,”

Yan Wushen’s eyes shone with a brilliant light, and Primordial Infernal Yama Qi surged out continuously.

A majestic illusory figure appeared behind Yan Wushen. The figure wore a crown on his head and exuded a supreme majesty.

Yanluo clan was the supreme clan in Infernal Court; their status was most revered. Fane of Yama had inherited ten powerful Paths. It was the top of ten Fanes.

While, Deva Path of Yama was said to be able to control the cycle of life and death of all living things, compared to the void and fate in Path of the Ancients.

However, cultivating Deva Path of Yama was extremely difficult. Since ancient times, very few people in Yanluo clan had cultivated it. Those who could cultivate it to become a god were as rare as hen’s teeth.

Yan Wushen was the only peerless genius who had cultivated Deva Path of Yama to Saint Kinghood in the past ten thousand years.

Behind the figure, all sorts of incredible phenomena appeared. From the creation of the universe, to the birth of thousands of spirits, to the death of the galaxy, to the creation of chaos… the cycle repeated itself, shocking everyone.

A mysterious and overbearing power blasted out and collided with Zhang Ruochen’s Realm-frame of Truth.

Boom

The Realm-frame of Truth shook violently, and a large number of stars shattered immediately.

However, part of Yan Wushen’s power was also wiped out. Thus, he didn’t gain any advantage.

“Such great Deva Path of Yama. Yan Wushen, you didn’t let me down either,” Zhang Ruochen said.

This was the third time he had fought with Yan Wushen. His tricks were endless and out of his expectations.

He was certain that Yan Wushen had only recently mastered Deva Path of Yama.. Otherwise, he would have suppressed the Four Heavenly Kings of the Celestial Palace using this technique.
