God Emperor Chapter 1240 - Exchanging Blows Again

It was a dark purple island. It was barren without an inch of gra.s.s. There was only a towering volcano in the center that was extremely eye-catching.

This was Dragon Fire Island, representing the Yang center of the Yin Yang Sea.

The dragons had set up protective formation around the island in ancient times. It formed a barrier around 500 miles from the island, stopping other creatures from breaking into it.

You could only go through the formation’s barrier by riding the Dead Soul Ancient s.h.i.+p and approaching Dragon Fire Island.

The Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon rode the silver s.h.i.+p and stopped at the north side of the island. The black s.h.i.+p that Zhang Ruochen was on also steered toward Dragon Fire Island. Finally, he stopped at the east side.

“The Dead Soul Ancient Soul s.h.i.+p must have a specific pa.s.sage,” Blackie said. “There are many stopping points in the sea. Each one must have an extraordinary significance.”

No one steered the s.h.i.+p, but they cruised down similar paths and stopped at Dragon Fire Island. This obviously made people wonder if there was some mysterious power hidden in Yin Yang Sea that controlled the s.h.i.+ps.

“The Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon has become a Saint,” Zhang Ruochen said. “Since he’s come to Dragon Fire Island, he’ll definitely go in to take the Nanling Dragon Fire. We must use this chance to kill him.”

Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation had improved greatly. He wouldn’t be afraid even if he met the saint beasts of Ancient Dragon Mountain. He naturally wouldn’t give the Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon a chance to mature further.

If the Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon knew that the mysterious figure who’d killed two Saint Dragons was Zhang Ruochen, he would definitely do his best to kill Zhang Ruochen. He wouldn’t be acting like this right now.

“Look, who’s that?” Blackie pointed at Dragon Fire Island.

Zhang Ruochen looked over. Hundreds of miles away, a beautiful figure flew off of a Dead Soul Ancient s.h.i.+p. Dozens of Dragon Qi beams wrapped around her, like a cloud of Dragon Qi. She flew toward Dragon Fire Island.

Zhang Ruochen smiled. “Ao Xinyan.”

“How come there’s only Ao Xinyan? Where’s the Crazy Alcoholic?” Blackie was confused.

“Get onto Dragon Island First and reunite with her. Then you’ll just have to ask to find out.”

A pair of dragon wings unfurled on Zhang Ruochen’s back. He flew off of the s.h.i.+p and flew at a high alt.i.tude across the sea. He charged toward Dragon Fire Island.

Ao Xinyan wore a green dress. She reached the outside of Dragon Fire Island first and landed on a 30-foot-tall rock. A s.h.i.+eld of fire appeared before her. It reached from the sea to the heavens.

She just touched it lightly and a loud boom sounded immediately. A cloud of fire plummeted from the barrier.

Whoos.h.!.+

Ao Xinyan quickly used a saintly physical technique of the Divine Dragons. Transforming into 36 dragons, she flew dozens of miles away. The next moment, the 36 dragons consolidated back into her beautiful figure.

The fire cloud fell into the Yin Yang Sea, boiling the surrounding waters.

“Is this the legendary Gate of Fire? It seems that we can’t enter without the imprint.” Ao Xinyan sighed, feeling extremely disappointed.

She naturally knew that the island contained Nanling Dragon Fire. She’d wanted to go and take one to exercise her physical body and complete her True Dragon Body.

It seemed that she didn’t have the chance now!

Suddenly, she sensed something and turned around. Seeing Zhang Ruochen flying above the sea, she instantly grew happy.

Zhang Ruochen flew to the vicinity and approached the fire barrier. “Where’s the Crazy Alcoholic?” he asked.

“Shortly after we boarded the s.h.i.+p, he ran into trouble and escaped alone. He seemed to be avoiding some terrifying creature.”

Zhang Ruochen thought of Xue Lanshan, who’d died on the s.h.i.+p, and furrowed his brows. “The higher your cultivation is, the more dangerous the Yin Yang Sea is. I hope nothing will happen to him.”

Blackie peeked out of Zhang Ruochen’s sleeve, confused. “You were able to survive the s.h.i.+p with just your cultivation after the Crazy Alcoholic escaped?”

Blackie was still alive because it had been with Zhang Ruochen. It had been forced into the Yin Yang Sea.

Ao Xinyan was surprised, but she didn’t ask. Instead, she just said, “Maybe it’s because I’d refined a divine dragon bone and awakened the Divine Dragon Blood within me. I didn’t run into much danger on the s.h.i.+p.”

Zhang Ruochen nodded, thinking that Ao Xinyan’s guess was reasonable. If she didn’t have the Qi of the Divine Dragon race protecting her, she couldn’t have survived until now with her cultivation.

“We’ll enter the Dragon Fire Island first and take the Nanling Dragon Fire,” Zhang Ruochen said.

“No, you need the door print of the Divine Dragon Race to enter.” Ao Xinyan shook her head and sighed again.

“I have the print.”

Zhang Ruochen took a six-sided stone from his spatial ring, holding it in his hand. Ao Xinyan’s eyes widened in shock. Her group leader was indeed full of surprises. Even she was impressed. He could even find the print to enter Dragon Fire Island.

“Oh, no.”

Zhang Ruochen suddenly felt a great sense of danger. He reflexively lifted Ao Xinyan with one hand and moved to the right.

Boom.

A beam of blood-red light cut across the sea. It pa.s.sed through where Zhang Ruochen had been standing and hit the fire barrier around Dragon Fire Island. A large ma.s.s of flames exploded. The shockwaves. .h.i.t the sea, creating a dozen-meter-high wave that curled backward.

Then an icy voice came from the direction of a Dead Soul Ancient s.h.i.+p. “Zhang Ruochen, I knew you were going to enter Dragon Fire Island. I’d like to see where you’ll escape to today.”

The Death Knight wore the Ten Saints Blood Armor and had a pair of huge blood wings on his back. He flew out of the s.h.i.+p and rushed toward Dragon Fire Island.

The previous beam of blood-red light had come from him.

Other than him, Saint Yashe also rode Spiritual Power and waves. Each step he made would push the wave before him higher.

The higher the wave became, the stronger the power consolidated.

“How come they’re on the s.h.i.+p too?

Ao Xinyan paled. She’d witnessed how strong the Death Knight and Saint Yashe were. She naturally knew that she, Blackie, and Zhang Ruochen weren’t their match at all.

What could they do?

Zhang Ruochen tossed the door print to Ao Xinyan. “Go open the gate to Dragon Fire Island. I’ll stop them.”

“Okay.”

Ao Xinyan caught the print and immediately rushed to the fire barrier. She knew that with Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation, he wouldn’t be able to last long. They only had a chance to survive if she quickly opened the gate.

Zhang Ruochen activated the Ten Saints Blood Armor and yelled, “Power of Ten Saints.”

Whoos.h.!.+

Ten saintly figures rushed out of the armor, surrounding Zhang Ruochen. Each one radiated with an aura that was like a true Saint.

The power of ten Saints were grouped in Zhang Ruochen’s arms, combined with his own power. It transformed into two golden palm prints.

This was the seventh palm of the Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm—the Dragon Elephant Divine Furnace. The palm force had extreme Yang Masculine power. It was boundless. With the addition of the Power of Ten Saints, even a Xuanhuang Saint might not be able to take it.

“Your abilities have improved this much?” The Death Knight felt ineffable shock. He just felt like Zhang Ruochen was a monster. Only a few days had pa.s.sed, but his cultivation had improved greatly.

This speed was terrifying. Of course, even if Zhang Ruochen had improved greatly, the Death Knight was still confident in killing him.

“You have the Power of Ten Saints and so do I.”

The Death Knight scoffed. He clenched his fists and ten beams of Blood Qi rushed out of the armor, converging at his fists. He punched and the sky exploded as if ripping apart.

Zhang Ruochen’s two golden palm prints shattered instantly, but the fist was still there. It rushed toward him.

The sky trembled and Zhang Ruochen disappeared from the spot.

“The Spatial Move again?”

It wasn’t the Death Knight’s first time fighting with Zhang Ruochen. He instantly realized what tactic Zhang Ruochen had used, so he pulled out a black spear.

“Light of Death G.o.d!” he yelled.

Boom!

A ring of blood-red light radiated from the black spear. It expanded quickly, wanting to restrict the s.p.a.ce.

Zhang Ruochen walked out of the s.p.a.ce first. Holding a sword with both hands, he released all his Sword Intent and called out, “Sword Seven.”

More than 3,000 runes emerged on the Abyss Ancient Sword. He activated the Destruction of the Thousand Patterns. The black light that shone from the sword shrouded the entire s.p.a.ce.

Whoos.h.!.+

Pounding Sword Intent formed thousands of sword images within the black light. It grouped into a sword river, snaking around Zhang Ruochen.

When he stabbed forward, the ringing of the sword could be heard thousands of miles away.

A Sword Saint could shock thousands of miles with one strike.

Zhang Ruochen wasn’t a Sword Saint yet, but his full-power strike could actually create such a scene.

Boom.

The Abyss Ancient Sword cut through the sky powerfully, penetrating the Light of Death G.o.d.

The Death Knight was shocked. With his cultivation, he wasn’t afraid of Zhang Ruochen, but this attack was too amazing. He was forced to retreat instead of taking it.

But after he retreated, Saint Yashe was exposed. Zhang Ruochen’s sword kept going, shooting straight at him.

The wave before Saint Yashe was hundreds of feet tall now. Dense electric light was interwoven on the water’s surface. Seeing Zhang Ruochen charging, Saint Yashe was still fearless. He laughed loudly. “Good.”

Saint Yashe pushed forward with his ancient hands. He produced a wave to devour Zhang Ruochen.

Whoos.h.!.+

Zhang Ruochen actually broke through the waves and stabbed Saint Yashe’s chest.

“Im…possible…”

Up until his death, Saint Yashe still couldn’t believe that Zhang Ruochen could break through his full Spiritual Power attack.

Rip.

Saint Yashe’s physical body was so weak. Faced with the sharp Sword Qi, he was instantly ripped into several pieces.
