God Emperor

Chapter 2416: To Kill Someone

Zhang Ruochen’s true body sat by the lake, meditating like an old monk. However, his consciousness entered the Qiankun Realm.

Standing under the Divine Sky-connecting Tree, Zhang Ruochen stared at the sword-shaped Canon mark on the tree trunk. He said loudly, “Empress, I’ve won first place in the Battle of Celestial-Hunting. Can I see you?”

The sword-shaped Canon mark was left by Empress of Thousand Bones. It contained her spiritual will.

When Zhang Ruochen called out the Empress of Thousand Bones’ name, she sensed it on the Purple Turban Island. In the next moment, her divine spirit crossed time and space and descended into Zhang Ruochen’s Qiankun Realm.

Empress of Thousand Bones was unparalleled. Although it was a divine spirit, the aura she gave off was like the sun in the sky.

Zhang Ruochen was expressionless, neither happy nor sad, he said, “I’ve got the Destiny Token. I can give it to you now. As for the Canon of Destiny, it hasn’t been given to me yet. It’s probably because my attainments in the Path of Destiny are too low to bear the power of the Canon.”

“Without the Canon of Destiny, what’s the use of getting the Destiny Token? Zhang Ruochen, you must have another purpose for meeting me, right? Tell me quickly. I can’t stay here for too long,” Empress of Thousand Bones said.

“When I agreed to participate in the Battle of Celestial-Hunting and borrow the Destiny Token and the Canon of Destiny for you to comprehend, you promised to give me an Avci token,” Zhang Ruochen explained.

“That’s right. Every Avīci token I give out is because I owe a huge favor. That’s why, as long as a cultivator comes to see me with the Avīci token, I will do something for him,” Empress of Thousand Bones said.

Zhang Ruochen asked, “Anything?”

“No matter how difficult or dangerous it is, I’ll do it.” Empress of Thousand Bones’ voice was firm and powerful.

Zhang Ruochen said, “I want the Avīci token now.”

Empress of Thousand Bones was smart enough to guess Zhang Ruochen’s intentions when he opened his mouth.

“I don’t need to give you the Avīci token. Just tell me what you want me to do for you.” Empress of Thousand Bones’ tone became serious. She paused and said again, “But you’d better think it through. Do you really want to use this opportunity now?”

Zhang Ruochen cupped his hands and bowed slightly. “I’ve thought it through. I want you to kill someone for me. You must kill her within five days.”

“Who is it?” Empress of Thousand Bones asked.

Zhang Ruochen’s lips moved. He said a name through voice transmission.

After listening, Empress of Thousand Bones stared at Zhang Ruochen. “You’re making things difficult for me.”

Zhang Ruochen said, “That’s all I ask.”

“Killing someone in the Divine Domain of Destiny is easy to alert the gods of the Fane of Destiny. Besides, the person you want to kill has the protection of the Twelve Reverends. Once you attack her, the Twelve Reverends will know, which will cause a world-shaking ripple. I’m afraid that no cultivator in the Infernal Court would dare to do this.”

Zhang Ruochen said, “But, it doesn’t include you, right?”

Empress of Thousand Bones was silent for a long time, she said, “It’s not difficult to kill her. However, at the critical moment of saving the Grand Master, I’m not willing to do such a thing. I don’t want to let the Reverends of the Fane of Destiny know that I’m here in the Divine Domain of Destiny.”

Zhang Ruochen said, “You once said that you will do it no matter the difficulty.”

Empress of Thousand Bones shook her head gently with a stern look in her eyes, “I know what you want to do,” she said. “But this is very dangerous. It’s equivalent to going against the will of a Reverend or even challenging destiny. Are you prepared to die if you fail?”

“I know what I’m doing,” Zhang Ruochen said.

“Well, those from Avīci Pavilion will kill her in five days.”

Empress of Thousand Bones’ divine spirit disappeared, leaving Zhang Ruochen alone under the Divine Sky-connecting Tree. His figure was bleak, but his eyes were sharp and determined.

In the next five days, Zhang Ruochen activated the Sundial in the Vastsea Manor. He used the Divine Purification Flame to refine one weapon after another, including the Myriad Curse Bead that he had taken from the Wujiang.

He took out the Regal Artifact that he had taken from the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting and gave it to the Ancient Abyssal Sword to refine and absorb.

The Regal Inscriptions inside the Ancient Abyssal Sword grew rapidly. There were more than 300,000 of them, reaching the critical point of breaking into a Class Three Regal Artifact.

Five days later.

Xueqi, Xue Chen, and Xue Ningxiao, the three most outstanding young Supreme Saints of the current generation of the Xue Jue family, came to the Vastsea Manor. They looked at Zhang Ruochen, who was wrapped in the divine fire domain, from a distance.

Xue Ningxiao’s pretty eyes sparkled, she said, “Cousin Ruochen has worked too hard. He just won the Battle of Celestial-Hunting. Everyone is immersed in revelry, but he’s not affected. He still chooses to cultivate and improve himself. It’s really worth learning from him.”

Xueqi said, “The stronger a person is, the more sense of danger they have.”

Xue Chen said, “Today is the day he and Princess Luo Sha are engaged. Cultivators from all the major forces have rushed to the Fortune Palace. He’s the main character tonight. we can’t be late.”

“I’ll go!”

Xueqi came to the edge of the divine fire domain. Feeling the heatwave, she bowed and said, “Supreme Saint Ruochen, it’s late. We should go!” New chapters are published on ɴovelFɪre.net

In the center of the fire domain, Zhang Ruochen put away his weapons one by one. The flames turned into horned dragons and entered his body.

At this moment, everyone could see clearly that he was wearing the red Armor of the Fire God. He had the Divine Dragonbone Whip, which was a Quasi-Supreme Artifact, around his waist. He wore the Myriad Curse Bead around his neck. He held the Pleiades Lotus in his palm. The Zangshan Demonic Mirror floated above his heart, a Violet Gourd hung on one side of his waist, and the Ancient Abyssal Sword hung on the other.

Everyone who was a Supreme Saint didn’t dare to look at him directly.

Xueqi looked at Zhang Ruochen’s treasures. He swallowed silently. He was only going to get engaged. Was there a need to reveal so many Supreme Artifacts?

It was too exaggerated!

Though it was exaggerated, it really made people jealous.

Xue Chen and Xueqi had completely different thoughts. They frowned. He could feel the killing intent from Zhang Ruochen. He didn’t look like he was going to get married. Instead, he looked like he was going to kill someone.

He brought all the weapons with him. He didn’t want to show them off, but he valued the person he was going to kill.

Xue Chen said carefully, “The engagement gifts have been prepared. We can go to the Fortune Palace now.”

“Okay!”

Zhang Ruochen answered and walked out first.

Outside the Vastsea Manor, there was a long convoy pulled by a Saint King-level white bone beast. The carriages were filled with all kinds of treasures.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t check the engagement gifts. He took his maid, Lian Xi, and went to the Sevenstar Imperial Palace.

Xue Chen and Xueqi sat on the backs of a Supreme Saint-level fire beast and led the way. The 18 Six-Tribulation Ghost Lords carried the Sevenstar Imperial Palace and followed closely behind.

The news of the Reverend’s blessed marriage had long spread throughout the Infernal Court.

Seeing the marriage parade of the Xue Jue family, countless cultivators in the Infernal Court watched and discussed it wherever they went. Many people had envious looks in their eyes.

“Princess Luo Sha is extremely beautiful. She’s the beauty that all the men of the Rakshasa dream of marrying. They didn’t expect her to marry Zhang Ruochen in the end.”

“Zhang Ruochen is so talented. He’s a peerless figure among the Immortal Vampires. He’s worthy of Princess Luo Sha.”

An Immortal Vampire cultivator said in a low voice, “I don’t think Zhang Ruochen wants to marry Princess Luo Sha. He’s just forced by the Reverend to agree.”

“How can that be? Princess Luo Sha is so beautiful. How can Zhang Ruochen not want to marry her?”

The Immortal Vampire cultivator shook his head and said, “Princess Luo Sha is beautiful, but does Zhang Ruochen lack beauty by his side? Fairy Lian Xi and Lord Xia Yu were both top-notch beauties. It was said that Princess Luo Sha was very powerful. Once Zhang Ruochen married her, he wouldn’t be able to have such a good time anymore.”

Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power was strong. Of course, he could hear the discussions.

However, he didn’t care at all. He just held the Ancient Abyssal Sword and used the white scarf that Lian Xi handed him to repeatedly wipe the sword.

Then he took out a Godstone the size of a human head and sharpened the sword on it.

Crack

Sparks flew when the sword tip rubbed against the Godstone.

The Zangshan Demonic Mirror and Violet Gourd were Supreme Artifacts with great power. However, Zhang Ruochen preferred to use the Ancient Abyssal Sword whenever he had a major decision to make.

Holding the hilt, he felt like they were connected by blood. No matter how impetuous he was, he could calm down in an instant.

The Intergold Tiger could feel that Zhang Ruochen’s killing intent was getting more and more intense as he sharpened the sword. His aura kept accumulating, and the aura he emitted became fierce.

The Intergold Tiger said, “It’s a great day for the engagement. Why do you decide to kill someone?”

Crack

The sparks from the sword became brighter.

The Intergold Tiger said again, “Your motive for killing today is too obvious. It will arouse suspicion.”

“Under normal circumstances, of course, people will be suspicious,” Zhang Ruochen said.

The Intergold Tiger said, “Then when is it an abnormal situation?”

“When the inner demon invaded my body, it caused me to lose my mind and turned me into a demon,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Standing aside, Lian Xi could feel the killing intent coming from Zhang Ruochen’s body. She felt that he was like a peerless killing god and couldn’t help but feel frightened.

Zhang Ruochen in this state was simply too terrifying.

Zhang Ruochen no longer suppressed the inner demon and let it erupt wantonly. Then his eyes gradually turned red, as red as blood drops.

Boom

The ten wings on his back spread out. Zhang Ruochen carried the Ancient Abyssal Blade and flew out of the Sevenstar Imperial Palace, breaking through the air.

In front of the Sevenstar Imperial Palace, Xueqi and Xue Chen, who was sitting on the back of the fire beast, were sent flying by the blood qi surging out of his body. The two landed on the ground and looked in the direction Zhang Ruochen flew away in shock.

“What a strong killing Qi. What does he want to do?” Xueqi’s expression was grave.

Today was the day of the engagement. Countless important figures were waiting in the Fortune Palace, including some gods. Would Zhang Ruochen dare to run away from the engagement?

If he ran away, not only would he offend the royal family of Devala, but he would also offend Fukurokuju.

Xue Chen said, “The parade can’t stop. Keep moving.”

Then, Xue Chen immediately drew two Communication talismans and sent them out.

The Fortune Palace was one of the twelve divine palaces of the Fane of Destiny. It was located on Fortune Floating Island, which was about 90,000 miles away from Mount Destiny. Normally, the Fortune Floating Island was completely hidden in space. Other than the gods, no cultivator could see it.

Today, the Fortune Palace was revealed. It floated in the sky and emitted a dazzling light.

Below the divine palace, there was a group of palaces built on a lake. The walls were red and the tiles were green. The divine fog lingered for thousands of miles. This was the outer hall of the Fortune Palace. It was where all the saint realm disciples practiced.

The place where Zhang Ruochen and Luo Sha were engaged was in this outer hall.

It was getting dark, but the place was brightly lit. It was extremely lively.

The engagement banquet drew cultivators from all ten clans. The Immortal Vampires were vicious, the Ghosts were sinister, the Stone clan was strange, and the Nether Clan was mysterious. The banquet in Infernal Court was always filled with the stench of blood and terror. Human heads, soul food, infants, and fresh blood were frequently seen at the banquet.

Luo Sha was dressed in red, with feathers from a phoenix embroidered into a hundred phoenixes. There was a jade hairpin on her head.

She was not wearing any makeup, but today, she had drawn her eyebrows and wiped her lips. She walked among the ferocious and terrifying Rakshasas, Ghost Lord, Bone Clan, and Corpusian cultivators, looking especially charming.

When she saw the flesh and blood of human cultivators visiting the banquet table, she frowned, she said in a deep voice, “Didn’t I tell you earlier? Supreme Saint Ruochen has half of the human bloodline. Tonight’s engagement banquet, no food related to human bodies is allowed.”

The two Rakshasis immediately knelt down in fear.

One of the Rakshasis said in a trembling voice, “Your Highness, forgive me. This... This is an order from the Divine Prince. We have already told him, but... but the Divine Prince said that he just couldn’t stand Supreme Saint Ruochen and wanted to do this on purpose.”

Luo Sha said, “You don’t have to listen to him. Quickly remove it. Remember, this is taboo for Supreme Saint Ruochen. Don’t make such a mistake again in the future. Otherwise, I will not let you off easily. I will personally go and talk to my brother.”

The two Rakshasis agreed and quickly left.

Luo Sha raised her snow-white head and looked at the night sky that had completely darkened. In her mind, she couldn’t help but recall what Zhang Ruochen had said at the foot of Mount Destiny. She couldn’t help but smile blissfully.

Suddenly, she felt something. It was as if a pair of eyes were staring at her. She turned her face to the right.

300 meters away, Pan Ruo was also dressed in red.

The two women looked at each other.

Luo Sha was an intelligent woman. Just by looking at each other, she could sense the unusual emotions in Pan Ruo’s eyes.

“Her Highness Pan Ruo looks calm, but why do I feel a hint of hostility? No, it’s envy. No, it’s sadness. It doesn’t seem right either. Why do her eyes look so complicated? What’s on her mind?”

When Luo Sha looked at Pan Ruo again, there was no one there.

...

Zhang Ruochen flew for a long time. He slowed down and landed by a big blood-red river.

This river was linked to the lake in the Fortune Palace’s outer hall. It was 300 meters long and 300 meters wide. The current was swift and brimming with Blood Qi. Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes and focused his attention on the current and the waves.

After waiting for about 15 minutes, a huge ship appeared on the blood river.

There was a black flag at the bow of the ship. The words “Yanluo” were printed on it.

Zhang Ruochen opened his eyes. Blood light flew out of his eyes, causing the river to create waves more than 30 meters high. A deep voice rang out, “Yan Wushen, haven’t you always wanted to fight with me? Today, let’s have a showdown and completely determine who’s the strongest in this era.

“This battle will determine victory and defeat, as well as life and death.”

Rumble

The waves crashed over and stopped the fast-moving giant ship.
