1716 Amber Ash

Just as the Xuangang light shield was about to shatter, Zhang Ruochen stabbed his Abyss Ancient Sword into the ground. The Fire God Armor on his arms sparked, forming two fire clouds.

It wasn't regular fire. It was blue-white Divine Fire Jingmie.

Caw, caw.

The Death God Bird-Bees feared the Divine Fire Jingmie and escaped into the distance.

Zhang Ruochen caught up and punched. A wave of flames flew out, killing a dozen birds instantly. Another mass of birds caught on fire and started burning.

The tides turned.

The three Killer Heavenly Kings running the Spatial Imprisonment Formation sensed that the ground was melting. Their expressions faltered.

That was Divine Fire Jingmie at the official flames level. It was the kryptonite for the Death God Bird-Bees.

He punched around 20 times and more than half of the birds were killed. They fell from the sky like a rain of fire.

The Second Death Emissary didn't expect Zhang Ruochen to be so powerful either. He hurriedly controlled the birds to fly out of the Space Imprisonment Formation.

But just then, the Second Death Emissary sensed a blazing wave of heat coming for him. His eyes were covered by the flames. A metal fist grew bigger and bigger. He couldn't dodge at all.

Boom!

Zhang Ruochen's fist hit his body heavily.

The Second Death Emissary's chest caved in. His ribs all broke and his organs were crushed. A large amount of flesh flew out of his back and his body was all tattered. He fell hundreds of feet away.

However, he was a sixth step Saint King and a half-living, half-dead creature. Even with these great injuries, he still didn't die. He radiated with heavy murderous intent.

Zhang Ruochen was clear that a so-called Death Emissary was just a slave. Their minds had long been dead.

But this Death Emissary had a strong intent to kill.

His master was a truly powerful figure.

Zhang Ruochen wanted to use spatial power to kill the Second Death Emissary.

If he could kill him entirely, then his master would be hurt as well.

But just as Zhang Ruochen activated spatial power, the Space Imprisonment Formation started spinning quickly. It was as if he was in quicksand. He couldn't move a shred of spatial power.

"Gong Ziyan does have some skills. No wonder he's a space manipulator."

Zhang Ruochen no longer used spatial power. He used extreme speed and rushed at the Second Death Emissary.

Just then, a pile of black stones rolled over. Some were only the size of one's fist. Others were as large as a palace. They stood before the Second Death Emissary, blocking Zhang Ruochen.

The black stones melded together into a stone giant more than 300 feet tall. It radiated with cold Qi.

"It's the First Death Emissary."

The three Killer Heavenly Kings were stunned.

Kaboom!

Zhang Ruochen met its fist. It was like punching a metal mountain. His entire arm stung and he flew back, falling into the center of the Space Imprisonment Formation.

The stone giant aura was huge. Like a divine mountain looming in the world, it could intimidate all beings.

Zhang Ruochen loosened his arms and looked up at the stone giant, feeling disbelief. "He could actually turn a Saint King from the Stone Race to be a Death Emissary. Could it be a Killer Heavenly King from the Killer Heavenly King Rank who's come to kill me today?"

The Stone Race was one of the top three races in Hell World.

The stone giant's aura belonged to Hell World. It was deathly and carried bone-piercing power.

Not far from the Space Imprisonment Formation, a group of figures stood. Each one had a powerful aura.

Xun Ya, leader of the Divine Blood War Palace, scoffed. "Baili, your First Death Emissary doesn't seem to be much either! Zhang Ruochen is probably a fourth step Saint King, but he doesn't seem hurt by that punch."

Liancheng Baili was extremely handsome. He had four snow-white wings. Hands behind his back, he said, "My First Death Emissary is a lord of the Stone Race, a seventh step Saint King. If he goes all out, Zhang Ruochen won't be able to stop him."

"Then have him go all out," Xun Ya said. "End things quickly. If it goes on for too long, we might alert those powerful godly disciples from the Truth Godly Palace."

There was a beautiful figure beside Shang Ziyan. Her features were comparable to Fairy Tianchu and the Hundred Flower Fairy. She was a top beauty among the thousands of worlds.

This woman was Lian Xi, the leader of Soul Field. She was also the Traceless Fairy, one of the beauties on the Nine Angels Beauty Scroll.

"Wait," the Traceless Fairy said. "Zhang Ruochen has the supreme complete body constitution and the time and space print. He's also the time and space controller. Killing him might be a loss."

Xun Ya frowned. "Do you want to spare him?"

The Traceless Fairy shook her head and took out a soul bottle with a ghost face's pattern. "Wouldn't it be better if the time and space controller was our friend?"

"I've investigated Zhang Ruochen before," Xun Ya said. "His spirit is very strong. He won't kneel down before a god even if his legs are broken. I'm afraid that no one can make him surrender."

"Then we'll take his body." The Traceless Fairy held the soul bottle. "One year ago, Ziyan asked me to find a strong saint soul and use it to take Zhang Ruochen's physical body. This bottle contains the soul that I chose carefully—Amber Ash."

"Amber Ash!"

Hearing this, Xun Ya and Gong Ziyan both cried out and their hearts sped up.

Even Liancheng Baili's eyes narrowed. He clearly feared this name.

"Before, Amber Ash was number one on the Saint King Merits Rank," the Traceless Fairy said. "He used his strong abilities and ninth step Saint King cultivation to heavily injure a Supreme Saint. That battle had stunned the cultivators of all the worlds. Many elders even thought that he was the strongest figure below the Supreme Saint Realm.

"Unfortunately, he met an even more terrible enemy on the merits battleground. It was Yan Wushen, the powerful hero of the Yanluo Race from Hell World.

"Yan Wushen was also a ninth step Saint King, but he killed Amber Ash, known as the strongest below the Supreme Saint Realm.

"Of course, Yan Wushen couldn't kill him entirely. One of his saint souls escaped to Soul Field."

"Yan Wushen must go to Kunlun's Field this time, right?" Xun Ya asked, interested.

"Yan Wushen has been suppressing his cultivation," Shang Ziyan said. "He doesn't want to become a Supreme Saint. He plans on leading the Hell World army into Kunlun's Field and finding the chance to become a god."

Gong Ziyan sighed. "With Yan Wushen in this battle, Heaven World might be at a disadvantage again."

"Not entirely," the Traceless Fairy said. "If Shang Ziyan's cultivation reaches the ninth step, you might be able to counter Yan Wushen. And if Amber Ash can steal Zhang Ruochen's body and receive all of his abilities, then we might have a chance to battle Yan Wushen."

The soul bottle started shaking.

A blue-green soul flew out of the bottle, hovering in the air. It radiated with shocking saintly might and was no different from a Supreme Saint descending.

It was Amber Ash's saint soul.

"Lian Xi, didn't you claim that you found a strong body for me and would help me steal his body to be reborn?" Amber Ash asked. "Where is that strong body?"

The Traceless Fairy pointed a slender finger at Zhang Ruochen. "That is a time and space controller. If you steal his body, you'll be able to control time and space."

The blue-green saint soul studied Zhang Ruochen, who was fighting with the First Death Emissary, and laughed. "Not bad, not bad. Indeed, a very strong body. If I swallow his saint soul and mind, stealing his body, I won't have to worry about fighting Yan Wushen again."

Xun Ya bowed. "Lord Amber Ash, Zhang Ruochen's mind is very strong. It might not be so hard to swallow."

"It's better that he has a strong mind," the soul shadow said. "If it wasn't strong, I wouldn't want it."

Xun Ya nodded, thinking that it made sense. What kind of person was Amber Ash? He was able to seriously injure a Supreme Saint. How could that Zhang Ruochen compare to his spirit?

The people present were all terrible figures that could move the thousands of worlds. But they were just youngsters compared to Amber Ash. Only the top ten godly disciples of the Truth Godly Palace could count as the same generation as him.

Within the Space Imprisonment Formation, Zhang Ruochen exchanged a dozen blows with the First Death Emissary. The ground was shattered.

"Incredible," Gong Ziyan said. "Zhang Ruochen can actually match the First Death Emissary. Is he really a fourth step Saint King?"

He wasn't the only one. Everyone present was shocked.

"Zhang Ruochen used the Rules of Truth," Shang Ziyan said. "The First Death Emissary hasn't cultivated the Way of Truth before. Plus, Zhang Ruochen actually cultivated more than 20,000 Rules of Truth and can unleash six times the power. He reached this high point in one short year. It's worth looking into."

"Mysteries of Truth?" Xun Ya asked.

"It's possible," Shang Ziyan said thoughtfully.

"Good. Very good. If he really does have Mysteries of Truth, he'll be even more perfect."

The blue-green soul laughed. Then it transformed into an eerie wind and flew out to Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen was using all his might, but he barely managed to be at the same level as the First Death Emissary. His heart sank. It's only a Death Emissary, but it's no weaker than King Yan. Just how strong is its master? Run. I must run. This time, the Heaven Field Sect came to crush me and didn't leave me any chance for survival. The only thing they overlooked is probably the Time and Space Secret Guide.

With the help of the guide, Zhang Ruochen could easily activate spatial power. Even the Space Imprisonment Formation couldn't stop him.

Before, he just didn't want to expose the Time and Space Secret Guide.
