Chapter 1842: Battle Against King Daxi

BAM!

Two figures dressed in dark robes rushed out from the ghost fog and landed outside the Tower of Flames, sending soil and stones flying in their wake.

The one on the left was more than ten foot tall, with a trident in hand and covered in iron-like muscles, its eyes burning with green flames.

The one on the right, had a pair of dragon horns on its head, with black dragon wings on its back. Yet it was human shaped, and walked on both feets as it held a bone whip, looking like a fearsome killer.

They were two Ghost Lords that had went through Six Thunder Tribulations, and had devoured hundreds of millions of spirits to have their cultivation level as of now.

Among the Ghost tribe of the Ten Infernal Tribes, the Ghost Lord of Six Tribulations was the most powerful existence beneath a Supreme Saint. They had cultivated a solid ghost body, and had the same intelligence as a human Saint King.

One step further was a Ghost Lord of Seven Tribulations, who can challenge a Supreme Saint.

The aura from the two Ghost Lords of Six Tribulations made Chen Liuli’s face pale. It was a kind of fear and deterrent someone of a higher realm gave to someone lesser.

The gate of the tower was now beling blocked, and escaping became as difficult as trying to climb the heavens.

Chen Liuli took a deep breath, as she gradually calmed down, saying. “The Tower of Flames must never fall into the hands of a cultivator of a foreign realm. Zhang Ruochen, use your power of space to protect yourself later, I will deal with them.

Zhang Ruochen could guess what Chen Liuli wanted to do, and sighed slightly. “Forgive my bluntness, but even if you were to self-destruct your saint source, you won’t be able to kill the Ghost Lords of Six Tribulations.

“At least it will destroy the Tower of Flames.”

Zhang Ruochen said. “The Tower of Flames had been standing in the Holy City for god knows how many years now. If it could be destroyed that easily, it would have been long gone.”

Chen Liuli bit her lip tightly, as a self-deprecating smile appeared on her face, as she said. “Is reality so cruel, that I cannot even take my enemy down with me.”

“Reality is indeed cruel, but because of that cruelty that a person’s will can be tempered.” Zhang Ruochen’s both arms lit up in flames, as crimson lines appeared on the Fire God’s Gauntlet and Bracers.

WHOOOSH!!

Two Ghost Lords of the Six Tribulations rushed into the Tower of Flames like jets of black light.

Along with them were a large number of ghost shadows.

Those ghost shadows exuded a dark aura of death, wailing as they flew within the tower.

The Ghost Lord of Six Tribulations holding the trident glanced at Zhang Ruochen and Chen Liuli, and said hoarsely. “Master Canghai died in your hands?”

With just a look, the Ghost Lord of Six Tribulations made Chen Liuli felt like she had fallen into an ice cavern, and her delicate body trembled slightly.

The difference in their cultivation level was just too big, and the fact that Chen Liuli had not been suppressed to the point of kneeling was testament to her ironclad willpower.

Zhang Ruochen’s body emitted rays of flame from his body, blocking the ghostly aura from the two Ghost Lord of Six Tribulations, as he said faintly. “Since you know that Xie Canghai had died outside, you two dared to come in to meet your doom?”

“HMPH!”

The Ghost Lord of the Six Tribulations on the right ignited the ghostfire on the trident, and struck at Zhang Ruochen’s heart.

BAM! BAM!!

The sound of air exploding rang continuously, so much so that the air current in the Tower of Flames trembled violently.

Zhang Ruochen blasted out a palm strike, and his palm met the tip of the trident, knocking all of the ghostfire back, recoiling against the Ghost Lord of Six Tribulations.

In addition, the power of the Fire God’s Gauntlet was also unleashed along with Zhang Ruochen’s palm strike, and send the Ghost Lord of Six Tribulations flying out of the Tower of Flames.

“Ahh..fire… what sort of flame…”

Before that Ghost Lord of Six Tribulations could even land, it was incinerated by the flames of the Fire God’s Gauntlet, and its soul scattered.

The Ghost Lord of Six Tribulations with the long dragon horns was shocked, and rushed out of the Tower of Flames in a hurry, and back into the swirling ghost mist outside.

“WHIRRRR!”

A white arrow light chased after it from the tower, and flew into the ghost fog.

BAM!!!

The Ghost Lord of Six Tribulations with long dragon horns could not dodge in time, and was hit by the Whitesun Arrow, its ghost body was shattered, and reduced into a ghost fog as black as ink.

It did not die, and soon it reformed its ghost bodfy, but compared to before, it was much weaker now. Its gaze landed on Zhang Ruochen who was standing outside the Tower of Flames as a look of fear and trepidition appeared on its face, and no longer dared to show any contempt.

That young man was just too powerful!

“Zhang Ruochen had grown to such a powerful level?”

A look of disbelief appeared in Chen Liuli’s eyes.

To kill a Ghost Lord of Six Tribulations with just a palm strike, and severely wounding another with an arrow. Such a battle outcome was totally unimaginable. How many years had passed since then?

No wonder Lord Ancestor Yuhua would hand him the Seal of Flames. In today’s world, perhaps only Zhang Ruochen could fully bear the Eastern Region upon his shoulders.

WHOOSH!!

The whitesun Arrow flew back, and fell back into Zhang Ruochen’s hands.

Zhang Ruochen eyes were focused as he drew the bow again. Where the arrow was pointed at, the ghost mist immediately retreated backwards.

“Fairy Shadowless, still not showing yourself?” Zhang Ruochen called.

In the air thirty feet above ground, the ghost fog split apart, and formed a path.

King Daxi, who had the title of Fairy Shadowless, appeared before Zhang Ruochen’s field of vision.

King Daxi, was a new generation leader of the Soul Realm. She was beautiful and extremely talented, with a mysterious temperament about her. Even when she stood before Zhang Ruochen, the feeling she gave Zhang Ruochen was that she would disappear with the wind at any moment.

Whoosh!

The sound of a the arrow being loosed rang out.

Zhang Ruochen struck decisively, as the Whitesun Arrow shot out, as it left an arrow trail tens of meters long as it was aimed at King Daxi’s chest.

The graceful figure of King Daxi shattered like a broken ceramic, and became one with the surrounding ghost fog.

But the next moment, King Daxi’s figure came out from the ghost fog again, her fingers, as whilte as jade, held the Whitesun Arrow in her hand. “Zhang Ruochen, the speed of your progress is really astounding. If you don’t die, your future achievements will be unlimited.”

“Thank you for your praise.” Zhang Ruochen replied.

A cold air rushed out from King Daxi’s hand, and froze the Whitesun Arrow as she put into the necklace at her neck.

She sighed softly, and said. “It’s unfortunate. You should not have been born in Kunlun Realm. Kunlun Realm is destined to be destroyed, and you will be nothing but dust in this part of history. Perhaps tens of thousands years later, even I won’t remember, that I had killed a great man called Zhang Ruochen. If you don’t become a god, you will not be eternal. ”

Zhang Ruochen let out a smile. “Fairy, I’m afraid that you are being overconfident. Do you really think I’m still that weak like I was back in the Celestial Domain of Truth? Plus, even there, you didn’t seem to be able to do much to me. It was thanks you to that I had obtained Qingjin’s Soul, and had fed it to the Evil Spirit.”

There was no change in emotions in King Daxi’s face, but a cold glint flashed across her eyes.

At this moment, Zhang Ruochen formed a palm mark, and blasted across the void.

Two flaming clouds flew out, and blasting the ghost fog away, and no one knew how many ghost souls had been scattered because of it.

King Daxi summoned a crystal saint staff, the end of the staff was shaped like the tail of a phoenix, while the other end was as sharp as spear, and a God Stone was embedded in the tail of the phoenix.

She held the crystal saint staff and stabbed into the ground.

Suddenly, a densely packed inscriptions rushed out of the staff like earthworms, and formed a formation array 33 feet in diameter.

The surrounding ghost fog all converged towards the formation array, and turned into a Thousand Ghosts Formation.

The two crimson flame clouds collided with the massive ghost array, and in an instant, the rampaging flames were swallowed by the ghost fog, and disappeared like two pebbles thrown into a pond.

“The strength of King Daxi’s spiritual power is probably of the fifty-ninth level, and she’s definitely beyond the elementary level.

King Daxi was a spiritual power Saint King, and was a master of ghost manipulation.

But, any spiritual power cultivators were afraid of close combat, and if he got close to her, she may not be able to withstand his attacks.

But, she had the protection of the formation array, and it was not easy to get close to her.

Zhang Ruochen strode forward, crossing ten feet with each step, as he charged towards that 33 feet long ghost formation. As he approached the formation, he grabbed into the void, and with a rip, he tore open a dimensional rift tens of foot long.

The dimensional rift was like a mouth of a behemoths, dark, empty, and extremely dangerous.

King Daxi seemed to have anticipated that Zhang Ruochen would use the power of space. Her five fair fingers on the right hand grabbed the air, as a word was spat out from her crystalline red lips. “Rejoin.”

Just as the dimensional rift that was tens of feet long got into the ghost array, it was suppressed by powerful force and closed again.

That power is extremely chilly.

“While the path of dimensions is powerful, but there are powers that would work against it. Zhang Ruochen, if you want to fight me, you need to show your true abilities, otherwise, this battle will end within ten bouts.” King Daxi’s voice was vast-sounding and long.

“Sure, I will let you see my true power today.”

Zhang Ruochen broke into the ghost formation, and instantly everything before him turned dark, and could hardly see his fingers.

A series of ferocious ghosts attacked him.

“A mere ghost dares to block my path?”

Zhang Ruochen unleashed the Divine Purification Flames and covered his whole body with it.

Immediately after, a ring of flames roared outwards, as all of the attacking ghosts screamed and burned.

Gradually, his vision became clear and Zhang Ruochen saw the beautiful figure standing at the center of the ghost array, and beside her, was more than fifty Ghost Lords.

There were as many as five Ghost Lords of Six Tribulations among them.

Under the leadership of the five Ghost Lords of Six Tribulations, all of the Ghost Lords attacked Zhang Ruochen.

They were not bare-handed, and all carry powerful ghost weapons.

“Thunder of the Nine Heavens.”

Zhang Ruochen held the Ancient Abyssal Blade in his hand, and pointed at the city, as a powerful sword will rushed out, and suddenly dozens of lightning snakes appeared in the sky. Those lightning snakes tore through the skies as they rushed down and struck the Ghost Lords.

In an instant, thirteen Ghost Lords were totally annihilated.

One of the Ghost Lords of Six Tribulations got into within five feet of Zhang Ruochen, and shot out a chain that was fully engraved with ghost marks. The chain spun in the air, and formed seven circles.

The ghost mark chain could chain a cultivator’s saint soul, and once trapped, the cultivator will lose all ability to fight.

“Sword of Time, Fourth Level, Orbital Reincarnation.”

Zhang Ruochen lifted the Ancient Abyssal Sword, and marks of time were formed around the blade.

Dozens of mark of time moved around with the heavy blade like light spots.

Suddenly, the ghost mark chain, and that Ghost Lord of Six Tribulations stood motionless, as if they had been subjected to a petrification technique.

DUSHH!!

The Ancient Abyssal Blade split the ghost mark chain into sections, as the tip of the blade bit into the enter of the Ghost Lord’s eyebrows.

Divine Purification Flames rushed out of Zhang Ruochen’s palm, and through the blade, poured into the Ghost Lord of Six Tribulations’ ghost body, incinerating it into smoke.
