God Emperor

The domineering force of the most destructive power blasted out of the Golden Sun. It transformed into a golden energy storm and swept toward the Bone Clan’s seven reverends.

Combined with the strength of several dozen powerful guards, the Golden Sun’s power was pushed even further. Beams of Supreme Power shot out and broke the dimensional apart.

The seven reverends of the Bone Clan spontaneously change their tactic, focusing on defense to ward off the attack from the Jinyang Twin Kings while directing part of their strength to fence off the golden storm.

A bone fan appeared in the hands of one of the Bone reverends. The fan appeared as translucent as jade, and it had been made from the bones of an unknown creature.

Spurred by the Power of Darkness, hundreds of thousands of Regal-class inscriptions appeared on the bone fan. When the fan moved, it shot out a jet of black gale towards the golden storm.

Pow!

The golden storm was unstoppable and instantly drowned the gale of the bone fan.

Meanwhile, the Jinyang Twin Kings had also approached. Combining the power of the golden storm, the vibrating golden ancient cauldron, and the arriving Golden Crow defeated the defense of the seven reverends of the Bone Clan in an instant.

Pow! Pow! Pow!

Three reverends of the Bone Clan were blown away. One of them crashed into and caused ripples to form on the dimensional wall.

An ordinary Saint King would have been severely injured by such a powerful impact.

However, these three reverends of the Bone Clan were unscathed. If there was any harm, it was the partial diminution of the dark and cold energy on their skeletons.

The reason was that they used to have the body of the Supreme Saint in their past life, which was pretty impressive. So they now had the indestructible bones of the Supreme Saint.

“D*mn it, it is the Supreme Power. There is a Supreme Artifact in his body.” One of the reverends of the Bone Clan in human shape glowing in Saint light climbed up from the ground and let out an earth-shattering roar.

Sunshine Tianzi, wrapped in a Supreme Power, gave his order. “All cultivators of the Sunshine civilization, listen! Kill them all. No one gets away.”

Sunshine Tianzi looked at the figure on the Celestial Demon Mountain. Still wrapped in his Supreme Power, he started to climb rapidly up the mountain.

No way Sunshine Tianzi would allow Zhang Ruochen to take the Celestial Demon Mountain and the Demonstone Engraving.

As the divine grandson of the elder Tianzhu of the Sunshine Civilization, Sunshine Tianzi was undoubtedly impressive in all aspects.

While climbing up the Celestial Demon Mountain, he raised his head and shouted, “Zhang Ruochen, the seven reverends of the Bone Clan seems to be unstoppable. How about us forming an alliance?”

Zhang Ruochen stopped in his tracks upon hearing that. He turned around and looked down at Sunshine Tianzi, who was climbing fast toward him.

“The Infernal Court is too powerful for you to fight alone. You can turn the tide with my help,” Sunshine Tianzi said with a friendly smile on his face.

“Our Sunshine Civilization and the Celestial Court are partners. We should fight the Infernal Court together. No one will dare to attack you in the future if you become a friend of the Sunshine Civilization.”

Sunshine Tianzi sounded sincere, and his offer seemed to be irresistible.

Zhang Ruochen said nothing as he appeared to be contemplating over it.

A light flashed in Sunshine Tianzi’s eyes. He took this opportunity and rapidly ascended up the mountain.

It did not take long before he came to the stone steps, a stone’s throw away from Zhang Ruochen and Blackie.

“Brother Zhang’s brilliant combat record is well known throughout the Celestial Court and Infernal Court. I have been admiring and wanting to meet you for a long time. So what a pleasure to see you now.”

While speaking, Sunshine Tianzi walked up the stone steps.

However, climbing the stone steps was apparently much more difficult than climbing the mountain. Demonic energy was hitting him like a meteorite bombardment.

Sunshine Tianzi summoned the power of his bloodline, and wisps of golden light shone out of his body. His skin turned golden as if he had cultivated an incorruptible body.

He was not a Shenzi, but the strength of the elder Tianzhu of the Sunshine Civilization was still unmatched. The bloodline he inherited was no less powerful than that of the ordinary immortals, even though there had been a generational gap.

Besides, Sunshine Tianzi had found favor with the elder, Tianzhu, who had been baptizing him with divine blood. The elder had also been using precious treasures of heaven and earth to train his physique since he was a child. Hence, his foundation was stronger than that of many Shenzis.

At last, Sunshine Tianzi reached the first-level stone steps where Zhang Ruochen and Blackie were standing. He still had a friendly smile on his face, looking gentle and suave. He exuded a natural, noble temperament, like white clouds floating in the sky.

“All the seven reverends of the Bone Clan are powerful beings. It is difficult for any of us to fight them alone. But we might stand a chance if we can cooperate,” Sunshine Tianzi said with a sincere voice.

Zhang Ruochen could not help but cast his eyes over the cultivators from both sides, who were in a brutal battle with each other down the Celestial Demon Mountain.

Here was the opportunity.

Sunshine Tianzi still had a smile on his face, but he had a killer look in his eyes. He suddenly struck out his golden fist, aiming straight at Zhang Ruochen’s head.

The strike was quick and fierce; he had become a different person at once.

“You don’t deserve to die, but you can only blame yourself for being here, Zhang Ruochen.”

News of the Blackdemon Realm attacking the Sect of the Blood God had spread far and wide. Sunshine Tianzi knew very well that the Demonstone Engraving was extremely important to the Kunlun Realm, and there was no way Zhang Ruochen would let him take it away.

Since Zhang Ruochen was standing in his way, he would have to get rid of him. As for what he said earlier, it was just a pretense to lower Zhang Ruochen’s guard.

Forming an alliance?

Sunshine Tianzi had never considered forming an alliance with Zhang Ruochen. He might as well make a pact with the Thousand-Star Civilization and the Celestial Dragon Realm, which were much stronger than Zhang Ruochen.

The Celestial Demon Mountain had a special energy field in which the use of Saint Qi was impossible. However, physical strength was not affected. Sunshine Tianzi was confident of his physical strength, by which he thought he had a good chance of beating Zhang Ruochen.

Everything happened so abruptly. Who would have thought that Sunshine Tianzi would change his attitude all of a sudden?

Sunshine Tianzi was a Heaven’s Reach cultivator who had reached the realm’s limit, just one step short of attaining Path’s Anterior. But his physical fitness, bloodlines, and other aspects made him much stronger than most Path’s Anterior cultivators.

“Die!” Sunshine Tianzi shouted, his face deadly as the smile had faded from his face.

Just then, Zhang Ruochen suddenly shifted his body, performing a palm strike with an unappeasable look in his eyes.

Destructive energy that emerged from his body gathered in his palm and turned into the form of a dragon and an elephant. The roars of the dragon and elephant instantly broke up the demonic energy that was coming down of the mountain.

“You…”

Sunshine Tianzi’s heart skipped a beat. He bounced back at once.

It was now apparent that Zhang Ruo had suspected him, as if knowing that he would strike.

Pow!

As quick as his reaction was, the dragon and elephant strike of Zhang Ruochen had still hit him.

Blood oozed out of his mouth instantly. He could not believe that his robust physique could not even withstand Zhang Ruochen’s strike, which was a palm move powered by Blood Qi.

He could have suffered a more severe injury had he not treated and gathered his Blood Qi continuously in his chest.

Aggressive energy and massive Blood Qi gushed out of Zhang Ruochen’s body and evolved into various terrifying visions.

He stared deadly at Sunshine Tianzi. “Did you really think I would believe what you said? In my eyes, there is no difference between your Sunshine Civilization and the Infernal Court—both are a group of plunders. Forming an alliance with you? You think too much.”

“What makes you think you can get the Demonstone Engraving? With me being here, you can perish the thought of getting any treasures from the Kunlun Realm.” Blackie looked at Sunshine Tianzi with a sneer.

With his hand on his chest, Sunshine Tianzi looked frightened. But he still tried to put on a brave face. “I underestimated you, Zhang Ruochen. But I don’t think you alone can take Demonstone Engraving away, either.”

After saying so, Sunshine Tianzi ran down the mountain at once. “I will wait for you at the foot of the mountain. Even if you can take the Demonstone Engraving, it will eventually fall into my hands.”

Zhang Ruo’s strength far exceeded what Sunshine Tianzi expected.

Since he could not kill Zhang Ruochen and took the Demonstone Engraving, he had no choice but to change his strategy by letting the Jinyang Twin Kings fight Zhang Ruochen. As strong as Zhang Ruochen was, there was no way he could get out of this hidden dimension alive.

“Whether I live or not, it is not up to you. But it is up to me to decide whether you live or not.” There was a powerful murderous intent burst out of Zhang Ruochen.

While speaking, Zhang Ruo had made his move. He was much quicker than Sunshine Tianzi, moving in a flash to come in front of Sunshine Tianzi with a powerful punch.

“What do you want to do? Are-Are you going to kill me?”

Sunshine Tianzi nearly jumped out of his skin. He spun around and parried the attack with a punch.

Pow!

When the red Blood Qi and the golden Blood Qi collided, the force of the impact sent Sunshine Tianzi flying backward.

Zhang Ruochen’s Blood Qi was blazingly hot as if it had suppressed and vaporized most of Sunshine Tianzi’s golden Blood Qi.

“I can’t believe that Zhang Ruochen could be so powerful. I have been refining my body with precious treasures of heaven and earth, making it indestructible. Yet I am still not Zhang Ruochen’s match. Is he a monster or something? He is really living up to the hype. I am not his match. I have got to make a run for it.” Sunshine Tianzi was utterly terrorized by the strength that Zhang Ruochen showed.

Nothing mattered now. He just wanted to get out of the Celestial Demon Mountain and seek protection from the Jinyang Twin Kings.

“Don’t ever think you can escape from me.”

While thinking so, a massive wing burning with fire appeared behind him and swept him up in the air.

Just then, Zhang Ruochen had drawn his Ancient Abyssal Blade and struck it at Sunshine Tianzi.

“Stop!”

The Jinyang Twin Kings tried to stop Zhang Ruochen, and there was anger in their eyes.

However, they were at the foot of the mountain. There was no way they could get up the mountain in time. Even if they were to launch attacks from there, the Seal Rune would defeat it.

Zhang Ruochen ignored the Jinyang Twin Kings. With a powerful Sword Qi to spur the Ancient Abyssal Blade, it was extremely deadly even if he could not summon his Saint Qi. The Ancient Abyssal Blade had almost cut the dimension open.

There was fear in Sunshine Tianzi’s eyes. But he could perform a dodging maneuver in mid-air, so he was forced to gather all of the Blood Qi in front of him.

Swish!

The Ancient Abyssal Blade was unstoppable, cutting open Sunshine Tianzi’s Blood Qi with ease.

Still maintaining its momentum, the Ancient Abyssal Blade struck Sunshine Tianzi at once.

Divine sigils burst out of Sunshine Tianzi’s body. The released mighty divine power stopped the Ancient Abyssal Blade abruptly.

Sunshine Tianzi grunted and then blood oozed out from the corner of his mouth.

Zhang Ruo’s attack was too powerful. The divine sigils could not stop all but part of the attack.

“Zhang Ruo Chen, I have the protection of the divine sigils of my grandfather. You can’t kill me.” Sunshine Tianzi burst into laughter.

Zhang Ruochen shot a faint look at the golden divine sigils on Sunshine Tianzi’s body. “The divine sigils are indeed powerful, but they still can’t save your life.”

As soon as his voice trailed off, Zhang Ruochen moved in a flash, simultaneously mobilizing the Canon of Truth and activating the Armor of the Fire God.

As a group of divine fire gathered in his left hand, he struck it out with full strength.

Sunshine Tianzi’s heart skipped a beat. Knowing that it was unavoidable, he parried with both his arms in front of him, trying to block Zhang Ruochen’s incoming punch.

Pow!

Zhang Ruochen’s flaming fist hit Sunshine Tianzi in full force.

A terrible divine fire burst out and engulfed Sunshine Tianzi instantly.

The Armor of the Fire God was unique. It was not powered by Saint Qi but the canon. It surely came in handy in such times.

“What is this flame? How can it be so powerful?”

Sunshine Tianzi retreated, fear filling his eyes.

Engulfed in divine fire, the golden divine sigils on his body quickly dissipated.

“Go to hell!”

Zhang Ruochen shouted as he came with his blade again.

Swoosh!

Without the divine sigils’ protection, and even though Sunshine Tianzi was wearing armor, the Ancient Abyssal Blade still cut him in half.

Nevertheless, Sunshine Tianzi had not died yet. He was a top Saint King cultivator with extremely robust vitality. That meant his torn body could regrow with the help of sacred potions.

Also, even if his body was dead, his Saint Soul could not be destroyed so easily.

Nevertheless, fear almost consumed Sunshine Tianzi, his voice trembling. “Don’t-Don’t kill me. I’ll give you whatever you want.”

“It’s too late.” A murderous intent erupted from Zhang Ruochen’s body.

Sensing his looming death, Sunshine Tianzi suddenly understood that Zhang Ruochen would not spare him. His expression turned hideous all of a sudden. “Zhang Ruochen, if you kill me, the Sunshine Civilization will come after you. You will die a miserable death.”

As if not hearing what Sunshine Tianzi had said, Zhang Ruochen swung his blade down at once.

Zhang Ruochen would never show mercy to his enemies, irrespective of who they were. Whether or not it would bring him trouble, he just did not care since he had already made many enemies. He did not care about adding the Sunshine Civilization to the list.

Sparing a person like Sunshine Tianzi, especially, would only be asking for more trouble.

Swish!

The Ancient Abyssal Blade severed Sunshine Tianzi’s head as easily as slashing through tofu.
