Chapter 1732: Ten Calamity Heavenly Lord

“Dream on!”

The upper half of Elder Qi’s body flew up, and from within his spine, many thin threads of demonic Qi emerged and condensed into the other half.

The lower half of his body did the same, with the torso and head emerging.

Immediately, two Elder Qi’s who looked the same appeared before Zhang Ruochen and his allies.

The aura that they emitted seemed to be even stronger than before.

“Undying Demonic Technique,” Zhang Ruochen pointed out.

“That’s right.” The two Elder Qi’s spoke together. “This old man practices that demonic technique. Even if I was cut into ten pieces, it would merely turn me into ten demonic bodies, instead of killing me.”

Demonic Sound frowned, and asked, “Master, how could there be such a powerful technique in the world? Doesn’t that mean he is unkillable?”

Zhang Ruochen stared at the two Elder Qi’s and said, “The Undying Demonic Technique was based on a single drawing from the Heavenly Devil Stone Inscriptions. How could it not be powerful?”

Immediately after, Zhang Ruochen showed an expression of understanding and smiled. “I see! So Elder Qi is a member of Black Demon Field.”

A hundred thousand years ago, Black Demon Field was a follower of Kunlun’s Field, and thus obtained a copy of the Heavenly Devil Stone Inscriptions.

What was worth thinking about was that Guanghan Field, which was also Kunlun’s Field’s follower, had been suppressed by Heaven Field all along to a point where they were on the verge of destruction.

Yet, Black Demon Field turned into a follower of Heaven Field, and its ranking was on the rise all the time.

Elder Qi said, “Indeed, I am from Black Demon Field. Don’t you feel that we are really close in relation? When Ten Calamity Heavenly Lord was still alive, everyone in Black Demon Field had to bow down to him. Yet, what happened to him now?

“Black Demon Field is now one of the top one thousand Worlds, and is more powerful than Kunlun’s Field by so much. When Kunlun’s Field’s Heaven and Earth Altar gets destroyed, it will be the time for Kunlun’s Field to come and bow down to us!”

The Ten Calamity Heavenly Lord was one of the taboo figures in Kunlun’s Field. Known as the number one most powerful figure in Kunlun’s Field, it was rumored that he had survived through ten Yuanhui Calamities. One Yuanhui was known as a God’s life span, which 129,600 years.

One must understand that to live past one Yuanhui was already going against Heaven’s will, and would be almost impossible.

Moreover, to pass the second, the third, and so on, it would get more and more difficult.

To pass ten Yuanhui and survive would be something that even gods would not think about.

Of course, it was also possible that he had not passed ten Yuanhui at all, and it was merely just a title. Across the entire universe, few probably knew of how long he had lived.

Yet, as a native Kunlun cultivator, Zhang Ruochen had not heard of his name at all. It was as though a mysterious force had wiped the name away from history.

Only after coming to Heaven Field and reading some books did Zhang Ruochen know that a hundred thousand years ago, Kunlun’s Field had such a powerful individual.

Demonic Sound coldly smiled. “Black Demon Field was Kunlun’s Field’s servant. Even after a hundred thousand years, that remains true. To want Kunlun’s Field to bow down to you, you must be a really devious slave trying to overthrow your master.”

Hearing the words servant and slave, Elder Qi’s face turned even more treacherous.

Reaching the level of Seventh Step Saint King, Elder Qi was already high enough in cultivation to learn of some secrets.

He knew that a hundred thousand years ago, Black Demon Field was a rather weak primordial world, and there was no one on the level of a Demon God. Even Demon Emperors or Demon Kings were few and far between.

And at the very beginning, Black Demon Field was a subordinate to the Blood God Sect of Kunlun’s Field.

At that time, the Blood God Sect was way more powerful than it is now. Black Demon Field was merely a low-leveled civilization to the Sect leader, and the few Demon Emperors of Black Demon Field had to prostrate themselves to him. As such, it was not wrong to consider Black Demon Field subservient to Kunlun’s Field.

The only reason why Black Demon Field was viewed as important to the Blood God Sect was because of the size of the world and its massive potential for growth.

With the support of Blood God Sect, and after tens of thousands of years of development, Black Demon Field had become stronger, and gained prominence in Kunlun’s Field’s eyes. As such, cultivators from Black Demon Field could view the copies of Heavenly Devil Stone Inscriptions as long as they were loyal enough.

As for what happened later for Black Demon Field to turn into a member of the Heaven Field Sect, Elder Qi was not very sure and merely heard some rumors. It seemed like a hundred thousand years ago, Black Demon Field had done things that were not very glorious.

As for people related to that incident, all seemed to have vanished. Even the higher-ups within Black Demon Field no longer talked about those.

Today, hearing the words “servant” and “slave”, Elder Qi’s mind conjured an image where his ancestors bowed low in obedience to the people of Kunlun’s Field.

When he thought about it, his murderous aura seemed to start to exude from within his body.

“Are you angry?”

Zhang Ruochen did not fear him, and continued, “Undying Demonic Technique is a powerful technique no doubt, but it is such a pity that you merely learned it from the copy. There are deadly flaws in your techniques, and your two demonic bodies are merely partly real, and partly virtual. It would be easy to shatter your body in this state.”

“Kid, you talk real big for someone who has yet to get rid of the poison in your body.”

The two Elder Qi’s renewed their assault from both directions.

The left Elder Qi wielded the sword, and with millions of Sword Qi, formed a black Qilin that roared loudly.

The Elder Qi that attacked from the right made use of the Formation inscriptions in the building, and attacked with a gust of cold Qi.

Within that cold Qi, there were hidden blades.

Demonic Sound frowned, and just as she was about to act, Zhang Ruochen stopped her.

Zhang Ruochen stood on the ground, not moving, and merely injected his Saint Qi into the Time and Space Secret Guide. As he did that, something magical happened. The two attacks by Elder Qi changed directions and collided with each other.

Boom!

The Two Elder Qi’s faces changed; they were enraged, and they snapped, “This damned Zhang Ruochen, can his manipulation of space really not be countered? Even Gong Ziyan at this cultivation level was not so powerful.”

As the two attacks collided, the aftershock bounced both of the Elder Qi’s back.

Demonic Sound, who was already preparing to attack, chose this moment to strike, as she swung the Endless Blade, along with Rules of Truth, tripling her power. She struck one of the Elder Qi’s.

Boom!

That Elder Qi flew out like a ragdoll, as the demonic body broke apart, only leaving the bloodied upper half of the body.

“Master has already said that your technique has a big flaw, in that your demonic body is unstable. Why didn’t you believe him?”

Demonic Sound shook her head, and placed the Endless Blade on his head. “Give me the antidote?”

The upper half of Elder Qi’s body lay on the ground with his eyes showing disdain. From the corner of his eyes, he looked behind Demonic Sound.

The other Elder Qi launched a crystalline claw towards Demonic Sound. It was almost right on Demonic Sound’s head already.

This girl, she won’t even know what hit her.

Just as Elder Qi had that thought, before he could even smile, he saw a black streak flying towards him, engulfing him.

A Spatial Crack had cut off Elder Qi’s head cleanly. Turning into a ball of bloody mist, he disappeared in the void.

As the main body of Elder Qi died, the other Elder Qi shattered as well, turning into the lower half of his body.

That crystalline claw, losing control, quickly dissipated and turned into a wisp of cold air.

Feeling the cold air, Demonic Sound turned around and bowed to Zhang Ruochen. With a voice full of gratitude, she said, “Thank you, Master.”

Zhang Ruochen was still very weak, and as he leaned on a pillar, he lightly waved.

Demonic Sound asked, “What should we do? We have yet to find the antidote.”

Zhang Ruochen replied, “We had no choice. Elder Qi is not a simple figure. Once he realized that he could not escape, he might have even exploded his own Saintly Source. As such, we could only kill him.”

Demonic Sound nodded, and headed to Elder Qi’s body and started searching.

Without Elder Qi’s control, the Formation made by the sixteen lamps was no longer as powerful as before. The black skeleton smashed through the formation, and dashed out.

Turning into a staff, the black skeleton flew back into Zhang Ruochen’s hand.

After a short while, Demonic Sound stood up and shook her head, explaining, “We could not find the antidote.”

Zhang Ruochen’s heart sank, and he said, “Do not eat his body or Saint Qi, and do not take anything from him. Let’s leave the building and meet with the Hundred Flower Fairy before making our next move.”

Either way, Elder Qi was still one of the members of the upper management of the God of Death Palace. How could the God of Death Palace let Zhang Ruochen off?

How could he explain this?

Even if he did, would the God of Death Palace believe it?

Now, Zhang Ruochen placed his only hope on leaving before the God of Death Palace discovered Elder Qi’s death.

Yet, it seemed like Zhang Ruochen’s luck had run dry. Just as he opened the door, he could feel the intense murderous aura coming from afar.

Whoosh!

The immense killing aura was enough for him to feel pain on his face.

Outside of the tower, there were a few dozen assassins, all dressed in black robes and each holding a scythe.

“Elder Qi’s life pearl has shattered. Evidently, he has died in that building. He must have been killed by you, right?” A cold voice came from the dark.

After which, Killer Heavenly King Ranking 21, Qin Kai, appeared from within the shadows with steady steps.
