Chapter 1693: Six-Yao

“She actually forced back King Yan and Queen Lian by herself.”

Zhang Ruochen knew that he’d underestimated Fairy Tianchu. She was too strong. Prides like these would make those old guys who’d lived for thousands of years embarrassed.

It made sense though. Fairy Tianchu, the Great Senior, and the Wizard God Emperor fought squarely against the half Supreme Saint monster. Naturally, she had extraordinary powers.

Zhang Ruochen hadn’t cultivated for as long as her, so there was naturally a difference in ability too.

Fairy Tianchu’s voice was light but with a bit of coldness. “I already held back just now. If you don’t retreat now, you will die.”

Her strength was far beyond what King Yan and Queen Lian had predicted. These two were powerful leaders of Yin and Yang Field. Finally, they had a feeling that someone else was stronger than them.

Queen Lian, who’d always looked sexy, now had sweat rolling down her porcelain face.

However, it was impossible for them to give up on the emperor saint jade and 100,000-year-old saint medicine.

“Go all out. Activate the strongest form of the Yin Yang Life and Death Formation,” King Yan said. “The sky and earth are split between yin and yang.”

Queen Lian moved with rhythmic steps. She walked in a seven-pointed star pattern and stood across from King Yan. “All beings are split between life and death,” she recited.

The eight divine bones flew up and spun around them gradually.

Powerful masculine Yang Qi and extremely frigid Yin Qi flowed out of King Yan and Queen Lian respectively. The Yin Yang Life and Death Formation instantly turned into the yin yang symbol.

Within miles in radius, the ground was either a tundra or a fiery plain.

King Yan and Queen Lian’s cultivations overlapped in the formation.

The formation also lured out the rules in the divine bones. All Yin and Yang Qi in the world gathered over. Their auras were more than doubled from before.

This is the true form of the Yin Yang Life and Death Formation, Zhang Ruochen thought. King Yan and Queen Lian have become the formation eyes and are using the power of the divine bones.

This technique was similar to Yu Wenjing’s Twelve Palace Divine Formation. They were both ancient spells but more powerful.

Fairy Tianchu grew serious too. The carriage’s curtain was lifted by a mass of saint light.

Her pure and beautiful figure sat in the carriage. A ring on her finger transformed into the Rain Thread Divine Sword in the form of threads of white light and flew out again.

The white threads of light had Sword Way Xuangang on them.

Whoosh!

The white threads only had to drag across the ground and they would leave a bottomless crack.

Whoosh, whoosh!

The white light became denser and squiggled around. It formed a sword net, wrapping tightly around the Yin Yang Life and Death Formation.

“Up!” King Yan roared.

The formation started spinning like a millstone, releasing domineering power. It clashed against the Rain Thread Divine Sword, producing a string of explosions.

The Yin Yang Life and Death Formation couldn’t break past the sword net, but it moved slowly toward the White Feather Peacock Carriage.

The Rain Thread Divine Sword was indeed powerful. It was known to be indestructible and impenetrable. But the eight divine bones outside the Yin Yang Life and Death Formation were also impenetrable.

Zhang Ruochen held his breath. He was thinking about what solution could break King Yan and Queen Lian’s move.

But he discovered with a shock that, after the formation started operating, the space became extremely stable. It was too hard to break the space and destroy the formation!

Unless he’d reached the fourth step of Saint King Realm.

He also had to be outside God-Naming Mountain to do it. The spatial structure there was abnormal. If his cultivation wasn’t strong enough, he couldn’t release strong power at all.

Perhaps, he could only fight against them easily in the mortal world.

If he didn’t use spatial power and used other power, it would be even harder to counter the Yin Yang Life and Death Formation. Perhaps only people like Su Jing, lord of Guanghan Field, who’d fought with ninth step Saint Kings before, could hold up against them.

In the saint carriage, Fairy Tianchu’s expression didn’t change. Instead, she pulled her Rain Thread Divine Sword back. “I underestimated you two before. Your Yin Yang Life and Death Formation is quite strong. Those eight divine bones must be the bones of some god, right?

“There is a world inside a god’s cranium. A god’s skull is the sky and earth.”

When she said these words, layers of light ripples emerged on the saint carriage. There were instantly five levels, unleashing the Five Yao Complete Power.

Zhang Ruochen hurriedly backtracked, putting distance between him and the carriage.

With his current cultivation, it was as hard as walking into the sky to unleash Four Yao Complete Power. Even if he did, he would use up all his Holy Qi after one strike.

How powerful was Five Yao Complete Power?

Whoosh!

A sixth layer of light appeared on the saint carriage.

However, it was a bit darker. It still lacked a bit compared to Six Yao Complete Power.

Even so, seeing a sixth layer of light appear on the carriage shocked King Yan and Queen Lian. They spat out blood, spraying onto the eight divine bones.

Kaboom.

The Yin Yang Life and Death Formation spun even more furiously and crashed at the galloping White Feather Peacock Saint Carriage.

In an instant, the entire world turned into night. It was frigid.

Wild power spread out, hitting Zhang Ruochen. He was forced to pull up a Sword Way domain to stop the power that had spread out.

“Who won?”

He stared hard into the center of the windstorm.

Gradually, the darkness disappeared. Saintly white light took over Zhang Ruochen’s sight.

Fairy Tianchu remained sitting cross-legged in the saint carriage. Her black hair flew in the wind. The windchimes on the carriage clinked like lovely music.

Before her, all land within miles in radius became pitted and had a look of ruin.

Blood flowed out of King Yan’s mouth. He half-knelt on the ground and was badly injured.

Queen Lian’s delicate frame stood behind King Yan. She clutched her stomach with a jade-like hand. Her face was as pale as paper. Earlier, if King Yan hadn’t blocked the attack for her with his strong defensive abilities, she probably would’ve gotten more injured.

Jealousy and resentment appeared in her eyes. “Fairy Tianchu, you indeed live up to your name. I see now! Let’s go.”

Queen Lian grabbed King Yan’s shoulder. A river of Yin Qi appeared under her feet and they disappeared from Zhang Ruochen’s line of sight in the blink of an eye.

So powerful. She defeated King Yan and Queen Lian without even getting out of the carriage. This Fairy Tianchu is just like Ji Fanxin. They’re not flowerpots. They’re true queen bees. No wonder so many prides pursue them like crazy. One can imagine that marrying either of them will help them gain great support—both with their own abilities and the forces behind them.

Zhang Ruochen walked toward the White Feather Peacock Saint Carriage. He bowed. “Thank you, Fairy, for helping me.”

She stared deeply at Zhang Ruochen. “You took the emperor saint jade’s booklet earlier. What treasure is that?”

“Emperor saint jade? What’s that?” Zhang Ruochen pretended to be confused.

Fairy Tianchu wore a veil, so he couldn’t see her current expression. “If not for a treasure like the emperor saint jade, why would King Yan and Queen Lian fight me to the death? Don’t worry, I won’t steal it from you. I’m only interested in the booklet that can restrain the emperor saint jade.”

It was their first meeting. They hadn’t had any interactions before, so Zhang Ruochen naturally didn’t trust her.

The emperor saint jade was material for creating Absolute Saint weapons. Even Supreme Saints were tempted. Why wouldn’t she try to steal it?

However, he knew that Fairy Tianchu still needed to use his spatial power to seize the divine spring, so she wouldn’t rob him of the jade for now.

Thus, Zhang Ruochen insisted on denying it. “Are you speaking of that white jade rabbit? It’s actually just a saint jade. It’s not an emperor saint jade yet and it’s not hard to collect it.”

Suddenly, he noticed a bit of blood come out of the corner of Fairy Tianchu’s lips.

“Fairy, are you hurt?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

She coughed twice and smiled. “King Yan and Queen Lian are both powerful figures who can move the universe, especially after they team up. With their level, it’s not easy for me to deal with them even if I wasn’t hurt.”

“You were already hurt before you fought with them?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

“Earlier, when I forged into this ancient mountain, I was hit by an ancient pattern and was a bit injured.”

Zhang Ruochen finally understood why Fairy Tianchu didn’t come out of the carriage to fight with King Yan and Queen Lian. She was hurt and couldn’t come out.

The so-called “a bit injured” must be very serious.

Fairy Tianchu must be worried that I’ll take advantage of this to defeat her, Zhang Ruochen thought. That’s why she’s pretending that her injuries are nothing.

One must be cautious against others.

Fairy Tianchu and Zhang Ruochen were the same type of people.

Zhang Ruochen wasn’t the type to take advantage of another’s troubles. “Then, you should heal first. I will guard you.”

Fairy Tianchu nodded and closed the carriage curtains.

Zhang Ruochen started thinking deep down. Fairy Tianchu must already know of the existence of the emperor saint jade, but she won’t try to take it before getting the divine spring.

Anyway, she doesn’t know my true identity now. Even if she knows about the emperor saint jade, she’s not a threat to me. If I transform, she won’t recognize me at all. The Thousand Star Maiden probably won’t tell her my identity either.

After he thought clearly about how to interact with Fairy Tianchu for now, how to escape, and other questions, he grew composed. He was confident now.

Queen Lian and King Yan definitely wouldn’t give up. He had to use Fairy Tianchu’s power to intimidate them now.

He also had to use her power to receive the divine spring more easily.

Of course, his current need was to reach the fourth step Saint King Realm as quickly as possible. By then, he’d be able to fight back if he met people at the same level as King Yan and Queen Lian.

While Fairy Tianchu was healing, Zhang Ruochen took out the saint medicine and fruit for improving cultivation. He ate them all and started refining them.
