God Emperor Chapter 2067 - The Vessel Spirit of Emperor Ming's Hundred Dragon Cuirass

Chapter 2067: The Vessel Spirit of Emperor Ming’s Hundred Dragon Cuira.s.s

Yan Wushen glanced at Pan Ruo with a look of amazement. He did not expect this upstart from the Fane of Destiny to be so courageous, that she dared to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings.

Yan Wushen waved his hand, and kept Chi Kunlun inside one of his treasures.

That way, Yan Wushen no longer had any worries, and even when the Four Heavenly Kings of the Celestial Palace, he could go in fighting without being shackled.

Having being pursued by the Four Heavenly Kings for so long, Yan Wushen was already p.i.s.sed, and it was time for him to vent it all out of them.

“Yan Wushen, you’re lucky enough to escape last time, but it won’t happen again this time.”

The Heavenly King holding the white jade pipa looked down upon Yan Wushen, as if everything was already predetermined.

As he spoke, he unleashed an extremely powerful force as an immortal aura radiated, like a top-level Neverwither Supreme Saint ascending upon the realm.

Its flesh was almost completely in a neverwither-state, leaving only its heart and the Lingtai meridian on its head. Both parts, were however shrouded in the immortal aura, and so there was no obvious weaknesses.

A look of shock appeared in Pan Ruo’s eyes. She did not expect this Heavenly King to have immortalized his body to such a degree, and could still control it perfectly, while staying in the Saint King-realm.

Under normal circ.u.mstances, after more than half of one’s body had crossed the neverwither-state, it would be very difficult to control the powerful energies in the body, and will involuntarily breakthrough into the realm of a Neverwither Supreme Saint.

This Heavenly King of the Celestial Palace was very close to becoming a Supreme Saint. As long as he wanted to, he could instantly break through, and cast the strongest Immortal Saint Body.

But he somehow could control it such powerful strength and not allow himself to break through. This was just incredible.

Yan Wushen glanced at the Heavenly King holding the white jade pipa and said. “Run? Heavenly King Chiguo, don’t think that just because your body is in an advanced Neverwither-state you can look down upon the realm. Without your three brothers, I can beat you down with just one hand.

Yan Wushen’s eyes were full of contempt. His weakness was that he was a solo player, if there was someone who can hold back one or two of the Four Heavenly Kings, he would not have needed to suffer in their hands, nor would he need to avoid them all over.

“Yan Wushen, your provocations are useless against us. The four of us advance and retreat together. If you don’t want to suffer, then surrender now.”

The Heavenly King holding the simple, quaint sword said faintly.

He ranked second among the Four Heavenly Kings, named Heavenly King Zengzhang. Although he seemed indifferent, when he strikes, his murder strokes would be decisive.

The divine sword in his hand had killed many a powerhouse, including Neverwither Supreme Saints.

The directions the Four Heavenly Kings stood was in accordance to their station, east, south, west and north; and they were Heavenly King Chiguo, Heavenly King Zengzhang, Heavenly King Guangmu, and Heavenly King Duowen.

Rumor has it that the Four Heavenly Kings had inherited the Heavenly King heritage from a previous civilization, with a powerful force of fate empowering them, they were destined to achieve G.o.dhood.

In distant times, there was an ancient Celestial Palace, and the Four Heavenly Kings were the ancient Celestial Palace’s guardians. They were famous and shook the heavens with their might.

For them to get those heritances, the Celestial Palace naturally placed a lot of importance on them as they went all out nurturing them. The treatment the four enjoyed was something a normal person would never be able to imagine.

Yan Wushen’s eyes were sharp as he said. “If you want to fight, fight then, while waste so much banter. I want to see how much growth you four Heavenly Kings had in this time.”

As he spoke, Yan Wushen’s body shook as powerful Neverwither aura emanated from it, comparable to that of Heavenly King Chiguo.

Heavenly King Chiguo still had his heart and the Lingtai meridian on his head that had yet to be in a Neverwither-state, but Yan Wushen only had the Lingtai meridian on his head left.

That was to say, Yan Wushen had truly reached the extreme pinnacle of a Nine-step Saint King.

Heavenly King Chiguo’s eyes sharpened as he did not expect Yan Wushen to be ahead of him in cultivating his physical body.

Pan Ruo took a deep look at Yan Wushen, the number one powerhouse of the Infernal Realm sure indeed lived up to his name.

From ancient times to now, only a scant few had managed to cultivate their body to such a point while still in the Saint King-realm.

The saint Qi in Heavenly King Chiguo surged and infused into the white jade pipa, and between strums, surges of precepts of heaven and earth and the power of the land came together in a frenzy, forming a torrent of precepts that blasted at Yan Wushen and Pan Ruo.

Most of the power of the torrent was rus.h.i.+ng at Pan Ruo. Clearly, Heavenly King Chiguo intended to first suppress Pan Ruo, and then focus all his efforts on Yan Wushen.

“Hmph.”

Pan Ruo let out a cold sneer as a vast power of death surged out from her body.

Hummmm

The s.p.a.ce around her shook as a wide Nether River flowed out from the void, with no source nor end in sight. Within it flowed countless precepts, as they swallowed all of the precepts within the land.

And Pan Ruo was the G.o.ddess that ruled over these precepts as she stepped upon the Nether River under her feet.

Whooos.h.!.+

A wave was suddenly set off in the Nether River as if an ancient beast had awakened, unleas.h.i.+ng a terrifying aura.

Voos.h.!.+

The Nether River contained a surge of power of death and could erode everything. Where ever it pa.s.sed through, even s.p.a.ce slowly melted away.

With the protection of the Nether River, Heavenly King Chiguo’s attack did not work, and soon both attacks disappeared into nothingness.

Pan Ruo stood on top of the river, as she slowly rose and looked around.

“No wonder you can become a candidate for the Shennü of the Fane of Destiny. You have some skill I give you that, and it seems like I have underestimated you,” Heavenly King Chiguo said.

As he spoke, Heavenly King Chiguo once again strummed the white jade pipa as an invisible sound wave spread out, causing wind and fire to burst forth with huge momentum.

At the same time, Heavenly King Zengzhang wielded the divine sword in hand, slas.h.i.+ng out a sword Qi, causing the s.p.a.ce to shatter as it struck instantly at Yan Wushen.

Immediately after, Heavenly King Guangmu and Heavenly King Duowen also made their move, seemingly having a very tacit understanding of one another as their cooperation was seamless.

A crimson dragon wrapped around the arms of Heavenly King Guangmu, a rare ancient species, whose power level had similarly reached the realm of Path’s Anterior.

When encountering a weaker foe, Heavenly King Guangmu had no need to get involved personally as the flames of the crimson dragon were enough to burn everything to ashes.

He held a bronze-colored double whip with strange runes on the surface of the whip. As he swung it, there was a force that could tear the heaven and earth apart.

Heavenly King Duowen held a chaotic-colored umbrella, and there were eighty-one different gemstones inlaid on the surface of the umbrella, and with a swing, countless gemstones bloomed, unleas.h.i.+ng countless brilliant glows, leaving nothing untouched.

With the three Heavenly King struck at the same time, even someone as strong as Yan Wushen dared not to be careless.

The Infernal Yanluo Qi surged out of his body as a gloomy light rushed out from his spirit, and transformed into a simple-looking and unpretentious tome.

With the three Heavenly Kings all used their powerful sacred weapons, Yan Wushen did not dare to act tough, and fighting barehanded would just put him at a disadvantage.

On the cover of the ancient toes were three arcane fonts, seemingly to have infinite demonic power that could turn life and death upside down.

“The Book of Death, and I shall master life and death.”

From the void, an ancient voice rumbled.

The ancient tome opened by itself as terrifying arcane light of life and death burst out of the tome, blocking the attacks by the trio of Heavenly Kings.

On the other side, Pan Ruo roused her Path of Destiny, as a blue-brown compa.s.s flew out from her body and hung above her head.

A series of powerful power of destiny was released from the compa.s.s, distorting the s.p.a.ce around it, causing Heavenly King Chiguo’s attack to dissipate into nothingness.

“It’s actually the Compa.s.s of Destiny! For the divine artifact that had been sealed by the Fane of Destiny for so long would end up in her hands.”

Seeing the treasure Pan Ruo had deployed, Yan Wushen could not help but show a look of surprise.

It was no wonder the other two more senior candidates would seek him out for an alliance as they had clearly perceived a huge threat from Pan Ruo.

Pan Ruo’s ability had been recognized by the Compa.s.s of Destiny, and to a certain extent, will affect those pillars of the Fane of Destiny with their final decision.

Originally, Yan Wushen was worried that Pan Ruo would be rolled over very quickly, but now it seemed like she could help him hold Heavenly King Chiguo back for a good while, allowing him to go all out and fight with the three other Heavenly Kings.

With one less Heavenly King to deal with, the pressure Yan Wushen faced would undoubtedly be much smaller.

“Hahaha, since you lot want to play, I’ll play with you to the end. Dimensional Vortex.”

Yan Wushen laughed as he stretched his hand out and unleashed a powerful dimensional force.

Suddenly, a terrifying dimensional vortex appeared next to the Heavenly King Zengzhang, and through a rapid rotation, as a terrifying devouring force formed; and wanting to forcibly suck Heavenly King Zengzhang into it.

Heavenly King Zengzhang swung his blade, as four strange runes of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire appeared on the blade of the sword, instantly freezing the s.p.a.ce around him.

Speaking of which, all of the weapons the Four Heavenly Kings used contained the Mystics of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire, and could easily mobilize these four powers that made up the heaven and earth for both offense and defense.

The Four Heavenly Kings, like Xuemo, were not masters of the Nine Great Eternal Paths, but they have mastered the World Creation power that was comparable to the Nine Great Eternal Paths and could create worlds and suppress worlds with the power of the four elements.

Just as Yan Wushen and Pan Ruo clashed fiercely with the Four Heavenly Kings, a golden light flashed out from the depths of the Darkmourn Mountains, appearing thousands of miles away from the battlefield as it looked on in secret.

The golden light was a dragon, a golden dragon crafted out of divine gold. It was only ten feet long as it hid behind a huge rock.

On one of Jinlong’s claws was a huge piece of dried meat. As it watched the battle in the distance, it chewed on it with huge mouthfuls.

As its eyes turned, Jinlong watched closely at Pan Ruo who was fighting on equal footing with Heavenly King Chiguo as a strange look appeared in its eyes.

” The Emperor Ming’s Hundred Dragon Cuira.s.s, why is it on that Nether-clan woman? Did I sense thing wrong?”

Jinling whispered, its eyes full of doubts.

It then carefully sensed once again.

Soon, Jinlong was sure that he did not sense it wrong, and the aura of Emperor Ming’s Hundred Dragon Cuira.s.s was from Pan Ruo.

Emperor Ming’s Hundred Dragon Cuira.s.s was a Supreme Sacred Artifact of the Shengming Zhang clan and was the symbol of the past Emperor Mings. It was of extraordinary significance, so why would it be on someone else? Especially on someone from the Infernal Court…

“I heard that the Shengming Central Empire that the Zhang clan established was destroyed by a woman. Was that her?”

Such a guess appeared in Jinlong’s mind.

Immediately after, it shook its head vigorously and said. “Impossible, she’s not even a Supreme Saint, how can she wipe out the Zhang clan?”

“Unless…there’s a loser among the Zhang clan’s descendant, and was tempted by her beauty, causing the destruction of the clan, and the cuira.s.s being taken away? Good lord, there should be a loser in the family, yes. Ah, trouble in the form of a beauty! What a nation-destroying woman.”

“Sigh, this Dragon Lord had protected the Zhang clan for how many thousand years, and I did not expect a prosperous clan like the Zhangs would have a time of decline like this. I hope the Zhang clan isn’t wiped up. There should be one or two heirs right? Even if it is just a boy left, this Dragon Lord can a.s.sist him in recreating a glorious Zhang clan again.”

While it thought of it, Jinlong did not forget to continue chewing on the jerky. Even if the sky were to come cras.h.i.+ng down, it would still not stop it from eating.

“Boy, the other vessel spirits have all left the Darkmourn Mountains, and have fused with their vessels. Why do I alone need to suffer like this? First, I couldn’t sense where my vessel was, and now that I’ve found it after so much trouble, it’s on the Infernal Court woman. What should I do?”

Jinling frowned and felt distressed.

Especially now that it could not act rashly now, if it was to be discovered by an Emissary Vigilant, then it would be in serious trouble.

With no other recourse, Jinlong could only choose to continue hiding the dark and observe the situation first.

After eating a piece of jerky, Jinlong pulled out another piece from who knows where. “I’m almost through my supply of jerkies. I need to get more. I’m so miserable, don’t even have enough meat to get full. Sigh.”

As it sighed, it took another big bite off the jerky.

The meat jerky was no ordinary meat but made out of the meat of a Saint King-realm wild beast. But it was unhappy, this time around, it wanted to run rampant, kill a Supreme Saint, dry the meat, and h.o.a.rd up more.

Only the meat of a Supreme Saint had enough chew to it.

On the battlefield, the fight still continued, and it became more and more intense.

Earlier on, Pan Ruo was fighting Heavenly Ling Chiguo, while Yan Wushen fought three of the other Heavenly Kings. But now, Pan Ruo, Yan Wushen were working together against the Four Heavenly Kings.

Although they were at a numerical disadvantage, Pan Ruo and Yan Wushen were able to fight the Four Heavenly Kings on even footing when they joined forces.

It was undeniable that Pan Ruo’s strength was still lacking, but the Path of Destiny she cultivated was mysterious and arcane, causing the Four Heavenly Kings lots of trouble.

Behind Pan Ruo was a tall and solid Gate of Destiny, which seemly been carved out of some sort of magical stones, but actually had many mottled marks.

Any attacks that got close to the Gate of Destiny would immediately see their power reduced.

The Path of Destiny was as famous as the Path of Oblivion, and compared to the other seven Eternal Paths, they were even more arcane and more powerful, with all kinds of incredible powers.

Relying on the Gate of Destiny and the Compa.s.s of Destiny, Pan Ruo was almost invincible.

“To think that she could cultivate the Path of Destiny to such a level in a few short years, I really wonder where she comes from.” Seeing Pan Ruo’s performance, Yan Wushen could not help but become more and more curious.

Everything about Pan Ruo was a mystery. Even the leaders of the Fate of Destiny could not predict anything of her.

although Pan Ruo was not a master of destiny, her talents in the Path of Destiny were almost unG.o.dly, and there were scant few who could compare to her in the history of the Fane of Destiny.

At this moment, Yan Wushen would naturally not care about Pan Ruo’s origins. What he cared about now was Pan Ruo’s amazing strength.

The feeling of not being restrained by the combined might of the Four Heavenly Kings was really something.

“Heavenly King Chiguo, take my fist again! Wrath of Yanshen!”

Yan Wushen yelled and blasted a punch out.

The majestic Infernal Yanluo Qi surged and a ma.s.sive phantom formed outside of Yan Wushen’s body, with raging fires burning its surface, seemingly wanting to immolate the entire world.

Heavenly King Chiguo plucked four strings on the pipa at the same time as the power of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire appeared, evolving into a ma.s.sive world as it tried to envelop both the ma.s.sive phantom and Yan Wushen alongside it into it.

Boom!

The world created by the four elements exploded in an instant, unable to withstand the power of Yan Wushen’s fist.

However, at this moment, Heavenly King Zengzhang swung his blade, as four arcane marks on his sword appeared, as the power of four elements surged out in a frenzy, fusing with each other and creating a power that could destroy everything.

Yan Wushen glanced at Heavenly King Zengzhang, as he took out the Book of Death in his hand to meet the divine blade.

A series of shadows appeared out of the Book of Death and rushed to block the divine blade. Although they were destroyed one after another, the sword’s destructive power was also quickly consumed.

Immediately after, Yan Wushen struck his finger out as a large number of precepts of dimension formed, causing the s.p.a.ce around him to contract rapidly into a small black dot.

Whoos.h.!.+

The black dot blasted out and darted over in a flash.

Heavenly King Zengzhang’s gaze sharpened as he changed his sword stance, and placed the sword vertically before him.

Clang!

The black dot that contained a large area of compressed s.p.a.ce slammed onto the sword, causing the divine blade to shudder as the devastating shock wave almost cause the sword to fly off his hand.
