God Emperor Chapter 1242 - Saint King Dragon Pearl

Blackie was so angry that it wanted to curse. However, it wasn’t afraid when faced with these two saintly beasts. The cultivations of Saint Beast Xuanwei and Demoness Xuezhen weren’t enough to kill it.

“Fighting Fire G.o.d Formation.”

Holy Qi flooded out of its four paws and dug into the ground. The Holy Qi traveled underground, rus.h.i.+ng into the 36 saintly stones and 743 spiritual crystals buried underneath.

Kaboom!

Red runes appeared on the ground. Interwoven like spider webs, they formed a 300-foot-wide formation.

The Fighting Fire G.o.d Formation was a grade seven attack formation. If it was fully set up, it could wrap around the entire Dragon Fire Island. Even Heaven Pa.s.s Realm Saints could be forced away with this formation.

Time was too tight, so Blackie only set up a corner of the formation. Of course, Fire Dragon Island’s geographical location was special. It was in the Yang center of the Yin Yang Sea and filled with fire Spiritual Qi. It complemented the Fighting Fire G.o.d Formation. Even a corner of the formation had boundless power.

Sizzle, sizzle.

The land within 300 feet in radius turned into a zone of fire. Strands of fire formed into a 120-foot-tall giant in the center of the formation. It was clad in armor and held a three-foot-wide sword. It was like the G.o.d of fire.

The giant wielded the sword, shattering the attacks from the Saint Beast Xuanwei and Demoness Xuezhen. Then it strode forward, charging at them.

“It can set up such an advanced formation. What a powerful cat.”

The Saint Beast Xuanwei took a dark wooden scepter from his left eye. The scepter was like a three-foot-long root. It radiated with powerful water and wood elemental Qi.

As he poured his Spiritual Power into the scepter, the water and wood elemental powers grew thicker. He stuck the scepter into the dirt. Branches and leaves grew out. It transformed into a towering saintly tree.

Water Qi in the air formed a celestial river. It flew out from the saintly tree’s leaves and attacked the fire giant.

Kaboom.

The powers of water and fire clashed violently.

The firelight from the Fighting Fire G.o.d Formation dimmed. It was about to be extinguished by the tumbling water Qi.

“This old guy’s Spiritual Power is truly strong.”

Blackie activated all its Spiritual Power and Holy Qi, sending them underground. It continued to maintain the formation and fight against the Saint Beast Xuanwei.

“This fat cat is yours. I’ll go look for the hiding human.” The Demoness Xuezhen used a jade mirror to lead her. She ripped open a hole and rushed out of the formation.

Holding the jade mirror, she shone it in all directions and quickly found a place with abnormal Spiritual Qi waves.

She pursed her red lips and chuckled with a gentle voice. “You think that I won’t be able to find you in an invisibility formation?”

She pointed forward with a jade-like finger.

Whoos.h.!.+

White light flew out, shattering the invisibility formation. Zhang Ruochen and Ao Xinyan were instantly exposed.

Zhang Ruochen was sitting cross-legged on a huge rock, trying his best to heal. Ao Xinyan stood before him. She held a saint sword and glared at the Demoness Xuezhen, battle intent surging.

Demoness Xuezhen could feel the Divine Dragon aura on Ao Xinyan. Guessing her ident.i.ty, the Demoness smiled. “It’s Princess Yan of the Divine Dragon and Half Human Clan.”

Then the Demoness looked at Zhang Ruochen. Light flashed past her pretty eyes and she murmured, “What a handsome and beautiful man. It seems like the princess wasn’t taken forcefully but went with him willingly, right?”

“So what?”

Ao Xinyan was very indignant. Hundreds of Sword Qi beams were created automatically. They hovered around her, ready to attack at any moment.

“Ha! Princess, be careful. Your mistake might bring catastrophe to your entire clan.”

The Demoness’ snake tails waved lightly in various arcs. She crept closer to Ao Xinyan and Zhang Ruochen. Smiling, she said, “Your body is very strong and even fused a divine dragon bone. If you’re willing to submit to the Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon, you’ll definitely become a member of the upper level of the Ancient Dragon Mountain one day. Your clan will also benefit from it. Why must you choose a human and go on a suicidal route?”

“The Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon only wants my Divine Dragon blood,” Ao Xinyan said. “He won’t truly help my clan. Do you think I’m a three-year-old girl?”

“You think you can protect your blood by not submitting? With your cultivation, you can only be nourishment for the Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon, helping him become an unstoppable figure.”

The Demoness swatted her tail, shattering the hundreds of beams of Sword Qi. It whipped Ao Xinyan. Like hitting a scarecrow, she flew back and crashed against the metal-like stone wall with a thud.

Ao Xinyan felt like her bones were all broken. She collapsed onto the ground, unable to stand up. She could only watch as the Demoness approached Zhang Ruochen.

“No, don’t…”

Ao Xinyan’s eyes were bloodshot. Clenching her white teeth, she spat out a dragon pearl and attacked the Demoness.

This was the dragon pearl that a Saint King ancestor of the Divine Dragon and Half Human Clan had cultivated. It was a true treasure.

Ao Xinyan was able to cultivate so quickly because she’d been refining the Dragon Qi within this pearl.

The Demoness was surprised. She quickly reached out two slender arms and drew a circle. She formed hundreds of vortex-like Qi to dissolve the dragon pearl’s power.

The next moment, she reached out and grabbed the pearl. Sensing the horrifying Dragon Qi within it, the Demoness was pleasantly surprised. Her hands started shaking uncontrollably.

The Demoness Xuezhen had cultivated for close to 1,000 years but had only reached the Xuanhuang Realm. It was fortunate that she was a beast and her lifespan was far longer than a human’s. Otherwise, she would’ve died long ago.

Of course, if a savage beast never improved, they would die from old age too.

Great, she thought. If I refine this dragon pearl, my cultivation will definitely reach the Heaven Pa.s.s Realm. I might even become a true Saint.

The higher one’s cultivation was, the longer their lifespan. Both Heaven Pa.s.s Saints and True Saints were existences that the Demoness looked up to. She’d never thought that she could reach that level too.

Receiving the Saint King dragon pearl gave her a bit of hope. She quickly collected the pearl and glanced at Ao Xinyan.

“This pearl is indeed a great treasure, but it’s a pity that your cultivation is too low. You can’t hurt me at all.”

Losing the dragon pearl, Ao Xinyan grew even weaker. There wasn’t any color in her face. “As long as you let him go,” she whispered. “I’ll give you the dragon pearl and submit to the Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon.”

“Too late!” the Demoness exclaimed. “You didn’t want it when I offered it earlier. Now, you want to negotiate. Who do you think you are?”

She was much happier after getting the dragon pearl and grew c.o.c.ky too.

“It’s easy to get the Divine Dragon blood in you. I just have to imprison you and feed you like feeding a dog. When you complete your True Dragon Body, I’ll naturally be able to keep extracting blood from you. That’s the consequence for betraying the Ancient Dragon Mountain! Hmph!”

The Demoness stopped talking to Ao Xinyan. She swooped toward Zhang Ruochen as a streak of white light and pointed at her forehead.

Rustle.

A thick saintly vine suddenly shot out of Zhang Ruochen and whipped toward the Demoness. The vine was covered in electricity.

The Demoness never would’ve imagined that a heavily injured human would have this hidden card. Taken by surprise, she was sent flying backward.

She quickly steadied herself. When she landed, she looked cautiously at the vine growing out of the man. The power that the vine had unleashed was comparable to a Xuanhuang Realm’s full-power strike.

“The legendary Holy Carnivorous Flower?”

The Demoness’ expression changed. How could someone in the Saint Realm not have heard of the Holy Carnivorous Flower before? Even some Ancient Taigu Remains had to be careful when facing it.

A cold feminine voice rang out of the flower at the top of the vine. “Since you know I’m the Holy Carnivorous Flower, why haven’t you fled yet?”

Looking up from the ground, one could vaguely make out a beautiful figure standing at the center of the flower. Perhaps because the flower had fused with Empress Moran’s saint soul, the figure looked identical to her. Even the seductive aura was similar.

However, it was only a shadow and not a tangible body.

The Demoness shook her sleeves and chuckled. “So what if you’re the Holy Carnivorous Flower? You’re only in the mid-Saint Realm. Why would I fear you?”

“What if I also join?”

Sitting on the huge rock, Zhang Ruochen suddenly opened his black eyes and stared coldly at Demoness Xuezhen.

The Demoness knew that his cultivation wasn’t very strong, but seeing those eyes, her heart still jumped. She felt danger.

“Who are you?” she asked.

Zhang Ruochen stood up slowly with a proud aura. “Zhang Ruochen,” he said.

The nervous expression on Demoness Xuezhen’s face disappeared. Instead, she smiled mesmerizingly. There was a cruel color to her smile too. “That’s great! If I kill you, I’ll definitely have accomplished something great.”

“It was such a stupid decision for the Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon to send you after me.” Zhang Ruochen shook his head. Reaching out, he said, “Give the dragon pearl to me, and I might give you a painless death. Otherwise, you can only be nourishment for the Holy Carnivorous Flower. It’ll suck all your Blood Qi and Holy Qi first. And then you can die slowly.”

Hearing this, the beautiful figure standing in the flower let out a laugh like windchimes. “Thank you, master, for your reward.”
