Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Lingxiao Heavenly King couldn’t be more furious. The imperial government and the royalty had suffered a huge loss tonight. Dozens of saints were killed, including a saint king ancestor.

If he couldn’t annihilate all the dregs from the Sacred, he couldn’t be the leader of his mansion anymore.

The only choice he had now was to use a supreme saint weapon to level this place.

“Unfortunately, the supreme saint weapon of our family, Hundred Dragons Emperor Ming Armor, also disappeared when royal brother went missing. Otherwise, we could use it to fight Blue Sky Pagoda.”

Mingjiang King felt anguished as he looked at Lingxiao Heavenly King walk into the mansion. It couldn’t have looked more like the scene in which the palace had been conquered eight hundred years before.

They could only watch their enemies invading the palace, helpless.

At this moment, Mingjiang King heard Zhang Ruochen’s voice. He turned around and looked to the saint mountain. He saw Zhang Ruochen rush out, sitting in the Golden Dragon Carriage. Mingjiang King yelled, “Don’t come out and hide in the Emperor Shrine. Lingxiao Heavenly King has a supreme saint weapon. Nothing can stop him.”

Boom!

The Golden Dragon Carriage didn’t stop. Instead, it kept running forward and rushed into the saints of the Sacred.

Zhang Ruochen jumped off the carriage, took out Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron from his space ring and positioned it at the center of all the corpses and blood. He said, “My original plan was to use this ancestral device only when I go to Peakless Mountain. Now that Lingxiao Heavenly King has a supreme saint weapon, I’ll use it to make a sacrifice today for those fallen soldiers and people who were killed eight hundred years ago.”

Zhang Ruochen melted the bronze cover of Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron using Jingmie Divine Fire, after which the appearance of the cauldron changed sharply. Only after that did Mingjiang King recognize it.

“Kaiyuan… Deer Cauldron… Is that the guarding weapon from the past?”

Mingjiang King stroked the cauldron as he could feel the power ripples coming from it. It was definitely an incredible weapon.

Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron was nothing but an ordinary cauldron used to make sacrifices.

It had changed too much!

“This is an ancestral weapon given to us by our ancestors. If we use royal blood and ‘Emperor Ming Nine-sky Scripture,’ we can utilize its incredible power,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Mingjiang King knew what Zhang Ruochen was talking about. He said, “I won’t let what happened eight hundred years ago happen again.”

He sliced his wrist and infused the cauldron with his saint blood.

Zhang Ruochen put his hands on the cauldron, mobilized all his leftover saint Qi and infused the cauldron with it. He yelled, “Subjects of the Sacred, worship the ghosts of those fallen soldiers with me.”

The armies of the Sacred surrounded Zhang Ruochen and groveled.

Even the saints kneeled down on one knee. They put one of their hands on the ground and the other on their chests. They looked very serious and full of grievances and respect for the dead.

Lingxiao Heavenly King sneered and said, “Useless. Everything will be crushed by a supreme saint weapon… Everything…”

Whoosh!

The ancient golden characters blinked, and the golden light spread across Sacred City and pierced the eyes of Lingxiao Heavenly King.

Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron ascended from the ground and floated in the air.

Blood Qi tumbled on the battlefield.

Traces of blood Qi surged to the sky and turned into blood-red clouds, covering Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron. Dirges spread across the heaven and land as if billions of ghosts were weeping.

All the previous officials of the Sacred Central Empire were exhilarated. They immediately infused Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron with their saint Qi.

Lingxiao Heavenly King realized that the cauldron might be dangerous. He then mobilized his saint Qi and infused Blue Dragon Pagoda.

Tumbling supreme power exploded.

“What guarding ancestral weapon? It’ll be destroyed by the Blue Sky Pagoda immediately.”

Blue Sky Pagoda. which was as large as a mountain, kept spinning and dashed toward Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron.

Meanwhile, Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron shook fiercely and clashed with Blue Sky Pagoda. The cauldron suppressed the supreme power and knocked Blue Sky Pagoda away.

“How is that possible…”

Lingxiao Heavenly King couldn’t believe what he just saw. He was so shocked that he couldn’t even move.

Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron and Blue Sky Pagoda hit Lingxiao Heavenly King at the same time and knocked him underground.

There were cracks all over the ground, and most of the inscriptions of the palace-guarding formation and supreme saints crumbled. Almost half of Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion sank.

The world was extremely quiet as everyone stared at the space that had been annihilated by Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron and Blue Sky Pagoda.

The vice leader of Guarding Dragon Pavilion was covered with saint blood. He said, “Lingxiao Heavenly King’s life forces are gone. A thousand-year-old overlord was killed after all.”

Zhang Ruochen tried his best to stand up, suppressing his wounds and feebleness.

Only a standing crown prince was convincing to the previous officials of the Sacred Central Empire.

Lingxiao Heavenly King’s body had been destroyed.

Even he couldn’t handle the combined power of Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron and Blue Sky Pagoda.

Whoosh!

Even without its leader, Blue Sky Pagoda flew up from the ground and tried to fly out of Sacred City.

The Vice Leader led the members of Guarding Dragon Pavilion using layers of saint power to seal it.

The weapon spirit of Blue Sky Pagoda was immensely powerful, and besides, it had devoted its allegiance to Chi family, so other people weren’t able to use it at all, unless a supreme saint tried to domesticate the weapon spirit.

“Thank God! Lingxiao Heavenly King was killed! You can finally rest in peace now, grandpa!”

“All these years, Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion committed all the crimes in the name of getting rid of the officials of the Sacred. We finally have our revenge.”

“We’re back, Sacred palace!”

“Father, we’ve fulfilled your dream now. We conquered Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion and killed Lingxiao Heavenly King. We’ll put flags of the Sacred everywhere on these grounds.”

…

All the previous officials from the Sacred Central Empire were ecstatic. They shouted as loudly as possible to let their emotions out.

They had been bearing their sorrow with forbearance and were suppressed by the imperial government, and today, they finally felt that they had become men.

Even if they were going to be killed tomorrow, it would be worth it!

The Cai Family Ancestor’s face glowed. He grabbed the battle flag of the Sacred from Monster Ape and walked up the city wall. He yelled, “The Sacred are back!”

The voice spread everywhere in Sacred City

The saints who worked for Mingjiang King originally had some strong opinions against Zhang Ruochen. They looked at each other, then they walked toward Zhang Ruochen, kneeled down on one knee and said, “Your highness.”

Other Sacred officials also kneeled down and shouted, “Long live the crown prince! Long live the Sacred!”

“Your highness! Long live the Sacred!”

…

Over one million monks kneeled at the same time. It was a magnificent scene, and their voices spread everywhere.

“All rise and go collect the bodies of your families and friends first. I have something more important to arrange later,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Mingjiang King guffawed and walked to Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron. He stroked the cauldron and said, “No wonder it’s the guarding weapon of Zhang family. It’s able to suppress a supreme saint weapon. Is it a supreme saint weapon as well?”

After checking it, Mingjiang King shook his head and said, “Supreme saint weapons have supreme inscriptions on them, yet I can’t inspect the inner area of Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron.”

“Is it a divine weapon?”

Guoguo’s eyes gleamed. It rushed toward Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron and tried to touch it as it was very interested.

Yan Kaixuan, who was standing behind Mingjiang King, yelled with indignation and threw Guoguo away.

All the other saints were thrilled. They kept looking at Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron curiously.

“It’s definitely an incredible saint weapon as it managed to suppress a supreme saint weapon. Perhaps it’s indeed a divine weapon. One of the ten divine weapons is a cauldron.”

“Divine weapons are only legendary objects, and nobody has seen them before. Some of the so-called divine weapons are just supreme saint weapons, but they became divine weapons in rumors.”

‘Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron must be a godly remains ancient weapon left by Unmovable Emperor Ming, and it can rival a supreme saint weapon. As long as we have that in our pocket, nobody can stop us next month when we head to Peakless Mountain.”

…

Everyone was enjoying the delight after their victory, however, Zhang Ruochen was a bit dismayed looking at those corpses.

He walked to the corpses of the three members from Guarding Dragon Pavilion and bowed deeply to them.

All three of the great beings had been protecting Zhang family with their lives, and few would know who they were and how they contributed even after they died.

They deserved all the respect from Zhang Ruochen.

The Vice Leader walked to Zhang Ruochen and said, “As long as there’re killings, there’ll be casualties. No matter how powerful someone is, he might get killed, but only continuous battles can sharpen a great being’s mindpower. Only after all those battles could a true great being be born.

“I’ll arrange for people to take care of their families, but there’s one thing that you need to do yourself, your highness.”

“What’s that?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

The Vice Leader said, “Tiangang Pavilion is always made of thirty-six people. Though each member will pick a disciple who will inherit his or her position, these three didn’t have the time to pick their disciples yet. You might need to pick three people to fill the positions. Do you have any candidate in mind, your highness?”

Zhang Ruochen looked around, and then, he looked to Le.
