Zhang Ruochen was not happy at all after killing Wan Xin. Instead, he was nervous, afraid that Wan Xin’s last words would be true.
SNAP!
Zhang Ruochen threw Wan Xin’s body on the ground and looked at the tightly shut door of the Fane building in front of him.
He had already sensed Chi Kongyue’s presence in the Fane building before him.
With Demigod-level eyes, Zhang Ruochen could vaguely see that there were divine inscriptions on the door. They would get triggered once he touched them. Obviously, he could not just barge in.
“Kongyue…”
Zhang Ruochen did not care much. He focused all his energy on his fist to hit the door of the Fane building.
A majestic power burst out. His fist was covered with a layer of demonic red light. It transformed into a shape that looked like a ferocious dragon or snake.
BANG!!!
Before Zhang Ruochen’s fist touched the door, dense divine inscriptions emerged.
A terrifying power surged and passed to Zhang Ruochen.
Before he could react, his powerful Demigod-level body bulged. His joints collided and crackled. The impact sent him flying backward as if a star had hit him.
BOOM!
Zhang Ruochen flew out of the white mountain and fell into Sea of Time. His fall triggered a hundred-mile-long wave.
“How dare you!”
A deity’s voice that spread through heaven and earth came. In front of the door of the mighty Fane building, massive divine spirit fragments gathered. They intertwined and transformed into a graceful silhouette. The silhouette’s beauty was breathtaking.
It was the shadow of Asurendra Samay.
The commotion outside the Fane building was too big. Asurendra Samay was alarmed and formed an avatar with its spirit.
Its avatar glared at Zhang Ruochen, who was standing above Sea of Time. With just a glance, it exuded a powerful force that sent Zhang Ruochen flying backward 70 miles away. As a result, Zhang Ruochen hit an island.
The island was shattered.
The moment Asurendra Samay saw Wan Xin’s corpse, its eyes turned grave. It said angrily, “The gods of the Immortal Vampires, how dare you allow your Supreme Saint to raise a ruckus in my Fane? You even killed my disciple and disturbed my self-cultivation. Do you think you can get away with this?”
Killing his disciple in his Fane was a provocation.
This had never happened since it had established its territory at Sea of Time. If the news spread, there was no doubt that Asurendra Samay would become a laughing stock.
Asurendra Samay would demand explanation even if the two Immortal Vampire deities were ancient gods, let alone young gods.
Just now, Blood Empress had used her divine power to dissolve the attack force that Asurendra Samay had used on Zhang Ruochen. Otherwise, Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t have just been sent flying 100 or 200 miles away. His Demigod-level body would have been reduced to ashes.
The divine light on Blood Empress shone brightly. Her tone was calm, “Asurendra Samay,” she said. “We came to Sea of Time for the girl that your disciple abducted.
“She is someone closely related to me. Return her to me. I can promise you that I will do everything in my power to find you a vessel.”
Asurendra Samay was well-known for being a notorious ancient Asuran god. Blood Empress thought it would be best to solve the problem peacefully.
Previously, Blood Empress did not stop Zhang Ruochen from killing Wan Xin because she knew there was hatred within Zhang Ruochen. If he had not killed Wan Xin, it would have become an obstacle for him to attain a perfect mind.
Wan Xin was just a Saint King. How important was he to Asurendra Samay?
Blood Empress said Chi Kongyue was closely related to her instead of Kongyue being her granddaughter because they did not share a blood tie.
In other words, Chi Kongyue was only Zhang Ruochen’s daughter but not Blood Empress’ granddaughter.
Asurendra Samay sneered, “You’ve been a deity for less than 1,000 years, haven’t you? Aren’t you too ignorant? Haven’t you heard of my name—Samay—before? You are just a young god. You intruded my territory, killed my disciple, and injured my followers, and yet you dare to bargain with me.
“Fine. Give me Zhang Ruochen, and I’ll let that girl go.”
Blood Empress’ eyes darkened. Hundreds of millions of Precepts surged in her eyes. “I’ll find you a vessel, but it is not up to you to decide whom. Also, I advise you to give up on Zhang Ruochen. Otherwise, you will face heavy consequences.”
At this moment, Blood Empress’ eyes seemed to have turned into two stars. The light they emitted dazzled the eyes of Supreme Saints and Saint Kings.
Asurendra Samay’s avatar expanded a hundred times instantly. Its divine might shook the heavens. “I can possess anyone that I like. It’s not up to you, a young Immortal Vampire god, to decide.
“Let me tell you the truth. The girl is dead. Her body has already fused with mine. You’re too late.
“Zhang Ruochen killed my disciple. He must pay with his life.
“As for both of you, get out of Sea of Time before I get angry. Otherwise, I will suppress you at the bottom of Sea of Time for 10,000 years.”
Since the beginning, Asurendra Samay cared less about Blood Empress and Lord Ming.
If it were 100,000 years ago, before Asurendra Samay’s body was broken, it would not have talked this much with them. It would have suppressed these young deities long ago. If the ruler of the Immortal Vampires did not apologize in person, it would not let them off easily.
As soon as Lord Ming heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He snorted, “Asurendra Samay, I’ve heard your name since I was young. I know that you’re very powerful and have lived for many years. You are a famous overlord among the Asuras.
“However, you’re already crippled. Now, you, as a mere avatar, still dare to be this brazen. Do you really think that the Immortal Vampire’ gods would be afraid of you?
“Other gods might be, but definitely not the Immortal Vampire gods.”
With that, Lord Ming summoned Stellar Sword with an incantation. The moment he grabbed the hilt with both hands, his aura rose steadily. It became more and more fierce as if Ancestral Swordmaster had returned to the world.
A powerful Swordwill burst out from Lord Ming’s body and merged with Stellar Sword.
Lord Ming had inherited Ancestral Swordmaster’s Swordwill. Although he had never studied Wordless Sword Manual, his comprehension of swordsmanship was extraordinary.
When Lord Ming had obtained the canon of Swordsmanship left behind by Ancestral Swordmaster, he could already be regarded as a Sword God
At this moment, Lord Ming released fifteen layers of Swordwill he had comprehended from Stellar Sword without holding back. With the help of the Canon of Swordsmanship, he shot an incomparably fierce and overbearing sword attack.
“Asurendra Samay, please appraise this sword strike from your ‘junior’.”
Lord Ming never had a good temper. Now that Asurendra Samay dared to be this rude to him, he wanted to let it taste his sword. He did not bother about how mighty and powerful Asurendra Samay was.
Swoosh!
A beam of sword light that could connect the heavens and earth slashed out, causing the skies above Sea of Time to change color. The sky dome was directly sliced apart.
If the fight had taken place in the starry space, countless stars would have been shattered by this sword strike.
Suddenly, a dark divine light rose from the Fane building. Countless divine inscriptions appeared and overlapped, forming a web.
These divine inscriptions were personally carved by Asurendra Samay. They were extremely tough and could not be destroyed easily.
Even so, the sword light from Lord Ming cut through tens of millions of divine inscriptions and almost reached Asurendra Samay’s avatar.
Everything outside the Fane building turned into a sea of fire.
The flames released by Stellar Sword were extremely blazing. They burnts everything and were difficult to be extinguished.
Swoosh!
The group of Saints who had retreated to the side gasped. They could not stand still and knelt on the ground.
They had never thought that the Immortal Vampire god would actually dare to attack Fane of Samay and Asurendra Samay.
The situation had certainly escalated to the point beyond return.
Asurendra Samay’s face was as cold as ice, so was its voice. “Your sword can’t even break the Fane building’s defense. Please note that the moment you attacked, you have committed a capital offence!”
Asurendra Samay was in the midst of trying to possess Chi Kongyue’s body, so it had originally planned to let Blood Empress and Lord Ming off the hook. However, never had it expected Lord Ming would attack it.
‘You have gone too far!’
BANG!!!
The tightly shut door opened, and a beautiful figure walked out.
She looked like a fifteen or sixteen years old girl. She was very beautiful. Every inch of her skin was glowing, making her look holy.
It was none other than Chi Kongyue.
However, right now, the one who took over her body was Asurendra Samay.
Blood Empress’ eyes narrowed. They were indeed too late. She did not expect that Asurendra Samay could possess Kongyue this fast.
At this moment, the avatar of Asurendra Samay dissipated as its divine spirit returned to its vessel, or we should say, “her” vessel.
“Ever since I became a deity, no one has ever dared to insult me this way. Today, I shall use your divine blood to perfect my body!” “Chi Kongyue” emitted a surging killing intent as her voice echoed throughout Sea of Time.
As she spoke, “Chi Kongyue” pointed at the sky. Instantly, her Stellar Soul Constellation appeared in the sky. It was formed from 27 Divine Planets. Each Divine Planet was extremely bright and contained boundless divine power.
Under the control of “Chi Kongyue”, each of the 27 Divine Planets released a beam of light. The light beams flew over from outer space and attacked Blood Empress and Lord Ming.
The beams of light looked beautiful, but they contained destructive power. Wherever they passed, Space and Time became distorted.
Blood Empress raised her head, and 24 beams of blood-colored divine light flew out from her forehead, turning into 24 giant divine steles arranged in an unusual formation.
The 24 divine steles were solid, everlasting divine light. It was unknown what material they were made of.
At the same time, Lord Ming entered a wondrous state of becoming one with his sword. He combined his essence, Qi, and spirit with Stellar Sword.
Divine flames surged out of Stellar Sword endlessly, sweeping the sky with unstoppable momentum.
Stellar Sword seemed to have turned into a blazing star. At this moment, it exploded in full force, releasing all the power it contained, as if it wanted to destroy a large part of the starry sky.
KABOOM!
The impact of the collision sent Blood Empress and Lord Ming a few steps back.
However, the beams of light that came from beyond the heavens also disappeared one after another. They weren’t able to truly strike Lord Ming and Blood Empress.
Seeing this result, “Chi Kongyue” narrowed her eyes.
She had initially wanted to cripple Blood Empress and Lord Ming’s combat strength with one strike to suppress them. She did not expect that her attack would only make them take a few steps back.
Despite being young deities, their combat strength was this high, which was beyond her expectation.
As “Chi Kongyue” stared at the 24 divine steles Blood Empress was using, she revealed a thoughtful look in her eyes.
“You turned divine planets into a weapon. It is a technique founded by that legendary figure in Demonic path in Kunlun. You have practiced it and even attained Godhood. You do have some skill,” said “Chi Kongyue”.
“Chi Kongyue” had lived long enough, so she was indeed far knowledgeable than anyone could be.
Very few people knew the 36 Demonstone Engravings in Kunlun were refined by a legendary Demonic cultivator from his own Divine Planets.
Doing so was extremely dangerous. Even if one mastered the technique, they could not succeed.
No one except for that legendary Demonic cultivator had succeeded.
Blood Empress had obviously received the true legacy from that legendary Demonic cultivator and thus embarked on this extraordinary cultivational path.
The eyes of “Chi Kongyue” turned grim as she looked at Blood Empress and Lord Ming. One received the legacy of a legendary Demonic cultivator, while the other received the legacy of Ancestral Swordmaster. It was unbelievable.
After all, not only that Immortal Vampires were among the ten clans of Infernal Court, they were the mortal enemies of Kunlun. How did the legacies of those two legendary figures of Kunlun fall into the hands of Immortal Vampires?
The attainments of these two Immortal Vampires before they became young gods were almost on par with hers.
As for how far one could go after becoming a deity, it depended on their ability in comprehension, potential, and encounters. When a deity cultivated more divine planets, it did not mean they would be stronger among the gods.
BANG!!!
“Chi Kongyue” stomped on the ground.
The entire Sea of Time was instantly overturned. Countless Marks of Time flew up into the air, transforming into a Time Array.
At the same time, the Stellar Soul Constellation in the sky trembled as boundless divine power cascaded down, pouring into the Time Array.
Back then, “Chi Kongyue”—Asurendra Samay— had expended a large amount of divine power to create Sea of Time. It did not do so for the sake to decorate its territory. The Sea of Time was a trump card that would play great roles at critical moments.
The main reason was that at her current state, Asurendra Samay could not use its own power at will. If not, it wouldn’t have to go through so much trouble.
The main reason was that Chi Kongyue’s body was too weak. Before the transformation was completed, the body could not withstand too much energy. If Asurendra Samay weren’t careful, Chi Kongyue’s body would be destroyed.
Other than that, there was another reason. There was an unusual trace of energy residing within Chi Kongyue’s Saint Soul.
In the beginning, Asurendra Samay did not even notice it. It was only after it merged its divine soul into it that the energy trace appeared.
Despite being weak, that power had restricted Asurendra Samay’s divine soul, making Asurendra Samay unable to control its own power.
Trapped in the Time Array, Lord Ming did not panic. Instead, he smiled.
He could already tell that Asurendra Samay’s condition wasn’t right. Right now, it shouldn’t be able to make a move at will. That was why it had activated its Stellar Soul Constellation and the Time Array.
In addition, Lord Ming could sense the presence of Wargod Bloodximius. Although this father of his did not show himself yet, Lord Ming was certain that if they could not defeat Asurendra Samay, Wargod Bloodximius wouldn’t stand idly by.
Moreover, Lord Ming wouldn’t have known who was stronger or weaker until he fought Asurendra Samay.
He had just attained Godhood not long ago. He wanted to use Asurendra Samay to test his strength and temper his divine body and divine power.
Driven by divine power, the Time Array was fully activated, generating countless Marks of Time. They condensed into an enormous River of Time, surrounding the white mountain.
“Good timing.”
Lord Ming’s combat will was high, and he attacked without any scruples.
Stellar Sword released an increasingly bright light. The terrifying high temperature spread out as if it wanted to evaporate the River of Time.
The Marks of Time, in the form of light spots, melted as soon as they got close.
Blood Empress activated the 24 divine steles to form a defense surrounding her body. At the same time, she released a majestic Blood Qi, forming an illusory Blood Phoenix that was even bigger than a star. It was covered in blood-colored flames.
The illusory Blood Phoenix flapped its wings and let out a high-pitched cry. It crashed into the River of Time.
At the second level of Endless Abyss, Blood Empress had refined the divine soul left behind by the Blood Phoenix. This allowed her to grasp the Blood Phoenix’s wonderful technique.
As an Immortal Vampire, she was famous for her vigorous Blood Qi. Blood Phoenix’s technique was highly compatible with her.
…
When Sea of Time became the battlefield of Gods, Zhang Ruochen and the five Supreme Saints of the Asuras had already retreated far away. They were all looking into the distance.
As for the Asuran cultivators who had not reached the Supreme Sainthood, they did not have the strength to escape. They were most likely crushed into pieces by the aftermath of the battle between the deities.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were red. He was in extreme pain.
He had rushed to Infernal Court at all costs, but he was too late. He could not save Chi Kongyue.
“Asurendra Samay, I want you dead.”
Zhang Ruochen really wanted to kill Asurendra Samay to avenge Chi Kongyue.
But he knew once he got close to the battlefield of gods, he would die a horrible death even though he had a Demigod-level physique.
So, Zhang Ruochen could only pin his hopes on Blood Empress and Lord Ming.
However, Asurendra Samay was too powerful. Its divine power was not much weaker than that of Moon Goddess. Blood Empress and Lord Ming were young deities whose Godhood had not reached a thousand years. It would be difficult to deal with them.
“If I control the power of time, mother and Lord Ming might have a chance of winning.”
Gazing at the massive Time Array, Zhang Ruochen was deep in thought.
“Time…”
Zhang Ruochen muttered. Suddenly, he thought of something.
He flipped his hand and took out something. It was a round and rough stone that looked like a giant millstone. It gave off an ancient aura, like a primitive stone.
It was Sundial.
‘Sundial is a treasure of Time. It should be able to restrain techniques of Time,’ Zhang Ruochen thought.
When he was in Ziwei Palace, the cultivators from the Fane of Time had used Time techniques to restrain Sundial. Correspondingly, as long as Sundial was powerful enough, it could also hinder time means.
Just as Zhang Ruochen was thinking about how to use Sundial to deal with Asurendra Samay.
Sundial suddenly moved. The 12 time zones on the surface of Sundial shone with a dazzling light. At four o’clock, a Dimensional Rift was formed and a door appeared, forcefully pulling Zhang Ruochen into it.
Then, Sundial flew up, emitting a thick blue light. It spun like a millstone and flew directly toward the Time Array.
The Time Array had installed a barrier and locked down the area with very powerful force.
However, when Sundial flew over, it easily penetrated the barrier with no obstacles.
Wherever Sundial passed, the light spots of Time Marks in the Time Array were all absorbed. Sundial almost devoured the entire Sea of Time.
It gave people the feeling that Sundial was like a black hole of Time that wanted to end the world.
“Sundial.”
The expression of “Chi Kongyue” changed. Her eyes filled with rage. She could not help but clench her fingers tightly.
Asurendra Samay had an extremely deep memory of Sundial. Even after a hundred thousand years, it still could not forget it.
…
At the edge of Sea of Time, on a mountain that towered into the clouds, Wargod Bloodximius stood with his hands behind his back. He looked at the white mountain from afar.
After figuring out what had happened, Wargod Bloodximius did not fight with Bian Zhuang. Instead, he had followed his children and Zhang Ruochen.
Although Chi Kongyue had nothing to do with the Immortal Vampires, Blood Empress, Lord Ming, and Zhang Ruochen were all members of the Xue Jue family. It was impossible for Wargod Bloodximius to stay out of it.
Seeing Sundial, Wargod Bloodximius was surprised. He said, “In the battle 100,000 years ago, Asurendra Samay participated in the siege against Saint Monk Xumi. However, it was injured by Saint Monk Xumi with Sundial. Even its true body, the Jade of Time, was completely shattered. Its essence was absorbed by Sundial.”
“For Asurendra Samay, Sundial can be said to be its nemesis.”
100,000 years ago, Wargod Bloodximius had also participated in the battle. He saw the Infernal Court deities attacking Saint Monk Xumi. He also saw Asurendra Samay’s near-death experience.
The battle was too intense. Saint Monk Xumi had fallen. Sundial was also heavily damaged and almost destroyed. Although it was preserved, its vessel spirit fell into a deep slumber.
Now, it had taken the initiative to pull Zhang Ruochen into the inner space and then pounced on Asurendra Samay. It must have been an instinct. It was the continuation of the battle of gods 100,000 years ago.
Wargod Bloodximius guessed that the vessel spirit of Sundial had sensed the aura of Asurendra Samay and showed signs of revival. That was why the series of changes had occurred.
As a Time treasure, Sundial was undoubtedly the best way to control time.
In Asurendra Samay’s current state, once Asurendra Samay was entangled by Sundial, this ancient god would be in great trouble.
Of course, if it could think of a way to control Sundial, it might be able to turn the situation around and take Sundial for its own use.
Now, it was time to see how far Wargod Bloodximius’ son and daughter, and Zhang Ruochen could drive Asurendra Samay to the corner.
“This is getting more and more interesting!”
A smile appeared on Wargod Bloodximius’ face. He was looking forward to the battle even more..
