Chapter 2012: Gaining the Canons of Truth Again

Chapter 2012: Gaining the Canons of Truth Again

Shang Ziyan’s crown burst open, causing his silver hair to scatter about as his face was covered with blood, looking extremely miserable.

He had used everything in his arsenal yet he could not turn the tide of battle. As his injuries worsen, death was biting at his heels.

“I’ve lost, I actually lost to Zhang Ruochen…”

Shang Ziyan’s eyes dimmed a little, unable to accept this reality.

Recalling a few years ago, Zhang Ruochen was like a gnat in his eyes, and was of no threat at all; something he could squeeze to death at will.

It was just that Zhang Ruochen’s growth was so fast that he found it difficult to react, and he could not take any advantage in each confrontation. This time, he ended up in a miserable defeat.

Suddenly, Shang Ziyan looked up as he looked at Zhang Ruochen bitterly, roaring. “No, not like this, I will never lose!”

Following Shang Ziyan’s roar, his body quickly shriveled as a large amount of essence were lost and infused into the Bloodbairn.

Suddenly, the Bloodbairn became completely red as many blood-colored inscriptions appeared, not unlike the veins inside a human body as it released an incomparable aura of evil.

The majestic evil divine power surged out from the Bloodbairn, as if a god was rejuvenating rapidly, with his terrifying aura enveloping a large area.

“What’s going on there?”

For a while, the saint souls of many cultivators trembled and chills ran down their spine as their body almost want to uncontrollably kowtow.

The divine power was so terrifying that it permeating tens of thousands of miles, as if a true god had descended upon the realm.

“Shang Ziyan is really desperate now, he actually used his own essence as a trigger to unleash the Supreme Divine Power of the Bloodbairn.

Some of the powerhouses watching the fight could not help but to exclaim with trembling voices.

The Supreme Divine Power is the strongest power contained inside a divine artifact, and most can only be released by Supreme Saint powerhouses while Saint Kings could only activate part of the divine power inside the divine artifacts.

While Shang Ziyan was not a Supreme Saint elite, but he had paid a steep price to unleash the Supreme Divine Power.

Sensing the terrifying aura released by the Bloodbairn, Zhang Ruochen’s expression could not help but change a little as he clearly perceived the enormous threat before him.

“Zhang Ruochen, die!”

Shang Ziyan roared as he swung the Bloodbairn, blasting out the Supreme Divine Power he was unleashed.

This was his final and strongest trump card. Although he had paid a dear price for this, as long as he can kill Zhang Ruochen, everything was worth it.

“The power of this attack is enough to kill a Neverwither Supreme Saint. While Zhang Ruochen is strong, I’m afraid he would not be able to block this.”

“Shang Ziyan sure is vicious, to actually use such a desperate gambit with his own life. He had made up his mind to fight Zhang Ruochen to the death, and has no intentions to top at all.”

“This way, the final victor will still be Shang Ziyan.”

“Hard to say, but after this strike, the battle between the two should basically come to an end!”

…

Many cultivators turned their eyes onto Zhang Ruochen and Shang Ziyan, looking foward to see the finale of their battle.

At the same time, the powerhouses on both Zhang Ruochen and Shang Ziyan’s side all showed nervousness as they stopped fighting for the time being.

In this situation, it was impossible for them to intervene even if they wanted to, so they could only watch from the sidelines.

Faced with Shang Ziyan’s final throw of the dice, Zhang Ruochen’s expression became extremely grim as the Secret Tome of Time and Space appeared in his hand and instantly opened, forming dozens of layers of multi-dimensional space and enveloping him inside it.

Shang Ziyan had already lost two corpses, and his remaining Flame Corpse was also badly wounded. With him focusing all of his strength on the Bloodbairn, he could no longer spare any attention to the Five-colored Merit Stele.

This way, both time and space were no longer suppressed and Zhang Ruochen was free to use his spatial and temporal techniques.

Being inside the multi-dimensional space, Zhang Ruochen immediately mobilized the precepts of space in his body, unleashing various spatial techniques.

Becase he knew that the multi-dimensional space created by the Secret Tome of Time and Space was not enough to resist the Supreme Divine Power unleashed by the Bloodbairn, he had to use other means to resist it.

“Dimensional Rift.”

Zhang Ruochen stretched his hand out and pressed, as dimensional rifts appeared within the dozen multi-dimensional space.

BOOM!!

The Supreme Divine Power was fast approaching, crushing evernything in its path as it was unstoppable.

At this moment, the dozens of multi-dimensional spaces in the outermost layer shattered, and were unable to bear the Supreme Divine Power.

The impact of the Supreme Divine Power was far more terrifying than a stellar collision, as if a true god was the one attacking.

Immediately afterwards, the dozens of dimensional rifts Zhang Ruochen had unleashed all collapsed, and were not able to devour too much divine power.

“Dimensional Freeze.”

“Dimensional Distortion.”

“Dimensional Collapse.”

“Dimensional Folding.”

“Dimensional Compression.”

…

Zhang Ruochen cought a Mark of Time, and with a speed beyond imagination, unleashed a series of spatial techniques.

He had never thought that these techniques could block the Bloodbairn’s Supreme Divine Power, and only wanted to use them to continuously weaken it.

In the eyes of others, Zhang Ruochen was instantly engulfed by the Supreme Divine Power as devastating energy ripples appeared in the space.

BAAAMMM!!!

The formation array guarding the Peacock Manor was instantly torn apart by the energy ripples.

Immediately afterwards, those Supreme Saint inscriptions too were quickly obliterated.

For a time, the entire Peacock Manor shook violently, like a lone island in the vast ocean being buffeted by rain and storm.

Everyone inside the Peacock Manor bore a fearful look as if the end was upon them.

Thankfully, the Supreme Saint inscription managed to withstand the divine power’s impact at the vey end, and was not completely obliterated.

Of course, this was also because the Supreme Divine Power that Shang Ziyan had unleashed was mainly aimed at Zhang Ruochen, and the one that struck the Peacock Manor was just an aftershock.

Otherwise, the defenses of the Peacock Manor would have been broken, and the entire place ruthlessly destroyed.

“Master.”

Han Xue could not help but to clench her fist as she looked on with deep worry in her eyes.

If she knew this was coming, she would not have left his side earlier. If that was the case, she could at the very least fight with Zhang Ruochen against the Supreme Divine Power.

“Don’t worry, Zhang Ruochen’s tough as nails, he won’t be so easily killed.” Blackie comforted her.

Even when it said that, it still stared at Zhang Ruochen’s position and its nerves were obviously tense.

On the other side, the Thousand-Star Maiden who had transformed into a handsome princeling said. “Shang Ziyan that lunatic, he actually dared to use such a move while seriously wounded. Does he want to die? I really hope Zhang Ruochen won’t get killed by this.”

The Supreme Divine Power was too devastating and the area Zhang Ruochen was at was already completely filled with divine power. Even her Divine Eye of Origin could not see Zhang Ruochen’s situation clearly.

After a while, the terrifying divine power that had shrouded the area finally gradually dissipated.

“Look, Zhang Ruochen is still alive.”

“Zhang Ruochen sure is hardy, for him to survive the Supreme Divine Power.”

…

Seeing Zhang Ruochen’s figure reappearing, many cultivators could not help but to cry out in surprise.

Zhang Ruochen stood quietly in mid-air, the Armor of the Fire God on his body had dimmed significantly as all of the flames on it were extinguished.

Anyone could see that there was blood flowing out from the armor, dripping down below.

Without a doubt, while Zhang Ruochen had blocked the Supreme Divine Power unleashed by the Bloodbairn, he was severely wounded as a result, with almost all of his internal organs were close to shattering.

“How can it be…”

Shang Ziyan stared at Zhang Ruochen dead in the eye with a look of disbelief.

Zhang Ruochen held the Ancient Abyssal Blade in his hand as blood was flowing down from it, saying very calmly. “Shang Ziyan, do you have any last words?”

“Don’t you care about Chi Kunlun’s life or death?” Shang Ziyan sneered.

Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen’s gaze furrowed as he said solemnly. “Hand over Chi Kunlun, I will spare your life.”

“It won’t be that simple. Chi Kunlun is your son, right? If you want to save him, you can try to kneel down and beg me.” The sneer on Shang Ziyan’s face became even more pronounced.

Anyway, no one knew Chi Kunlun had already been taken away by the Yanluo-clan powerhouse, and he could deceive Zhang Ruochen however he wanted.

No matter how strong someone was, they will always have a weakness, and Chi Kunlun was undoubtedly Zhang Ruochen’s weakness.

As long as he had his hand on this trump card, he was not afraid that Zhang Ruochen would not comply with his demands.

Thinking of this, SHang Ziyan’s heart was full of anger. If it weren’t for the Yanluo-clan powerhouse seizing Chi Kunlun and his top-level Meritorious Armor of Flowing Light, how could things devolve to such a point?

Thousands of miles away, on the bank of a lake, Qiu Yichi the Beguiler Demon looked into the sky as a smile appeared on her face. She then immediately used the Path of the Soul to transmit her voice to Zhang Ruochen across the void. “Don’t worry, Chi Kunlun is not in Shang Ziyan’s hands. As long as you head to the Endless Abyss, you will naturally be able to meet him.”

Earlier on, Qiu Yichi had seen with her own eyes that a mysterious Yanluo clan powerhouse had taken Chi Kunlun away. She had already guessed the identity of the mysterious powerhouse, and she was not worried about Chi Kunlun’s safety.

She had only one goal, to get Zhang Ruochen to the Endless Abyss

“It’s Qiu Yichi’s voice. Has she rescued Kunlun?”

Zhang Ruochen’s heart moved as many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

From the very beginning, he had threatened Shang Ziyan to hand over Chi Kunlun with the lives of Feng Gudao and the other three but Shang Ziyan had told him personally that Chi Kunlun was not with him.

Combining with what Qiu Yichi was saying now, Chi Kunlun was indeed very likely not in Shang Ziyan’s hands. Even if Shang Ziyan did not care about the lives of Feng Gudao and the others, he would not put his own life on the line as a joke.

Whoosh!

Zhang Ruochen suddenly moved as he used the Dimensional Shift and instantly appeared before Shang Ziyan.

VOOOSH!

The Ancient Abyssal Blade struck like lightning.

Immediately, Shang Ziyan’s body was split into two halves, and even the Tricolored Armor could not protect him.

“You…”

Shang Ziyan’s eyes widened with incredulity.

A moment ago, he still felt triumphant, thinking he had caught onto Zhang Ruochen’s weakness, but he did not expect Zhang Ruochen to strike him down the very next second.

Everything had happened too suddenly. Forget everyone else, even Shang Ziyan could not react at all.

Zhang Ruochen had used all of his strength in that strike, and not only was Shang Ziyan cut into two, his saint soul was completely shattered as well.

“It’s over.”

Zhang Ruochen whispered to himself as he let out a deep breath.

Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen perked up as he felt something extremely strange entering his body.

Zhang Ruochen could not be more familiar with this thing, it was the Canon of Truth.

“Shang Ziyan sure is powerful, and have eighth of ten-thousandth of the Canon of Truth, so now I have twenty of a ten-thousandths of the Canon of Truth.

Zhang Ruochen was very surprised.

The Canon of Truth was so rare that it is only possible to obtain it when one has a stunning performance while crossing the Sea of Truth.

Zhang Ruochen had killed many powerhouses before, but among them who possessed the Canon of Truth prior to him slaying Shang Ziyan was Wang Xu, which showed how precious it was.

Even if one could not get one percent of the Canon of Truth, and become an Envoy of Truth, as long as one had a little bit more Canon of Truth, it will be of great help in comprehending the saint path precepts, increasing one’s speed in comprehending them and the growth that followed exponentially.

“Zhang Ruochen actually killed Shang Ziyan, this…”

Many of the spectating cultivators were stunned.

Shang Ziyan was a leader of the Fane of Merits, and held a pivotal and lofty position in the Heavenly Realm faction. Now that he was killed, this was absolutely a major event and will definitely kick up a storm. Zhang Ruochen was really trying to shatter the status quo.

The powerhouses of the Heavenly Realm faction were all shocked at this very moment. They had never thought that Shang Ziyan would be defeated by Zhang Ruochen, let alone losing his life in the process.

“Hmm?”

At this moment Zhang Ruochen’s expression changed drastically.

He instantly forego taking the treasures from Shang Ziyan, and immediately fell back at the fastest speed possible.

A dazzling divine light shot out of Shang Ziyan’s body, and like a divine sun, unleashed a dazzling light that made people unable to look straight at it.

“There’s still something?”

Seeing this, everyone could not help but to widen their eyes.

Under everyone’s gaze, a bright hand of god came out from the divine light and grabbed at Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen’s body suddenly stiffened as he wanted to retreat, yet he found his body was already immobilized.

Seeing the hand of god was about to touch him, the Staff of the Divine Envoy Yueshen had given him flew out by itself, forming a shield of divine power to protect Zhang Ruochen.

Immediately afterwards, the Staff of the Divine Envoy unleashed a powerful divine power and blasted the hand of god.

BAAMM!!

The hand of god exploded, unable to fight against the power unleashed by the Staff of the Divine Envoy.

Immediately afterwards, the divine power rippled out, acting on the Tricolored Armor Shang Ziyan had worn.

CRACK!

The Tricolored Armor’s defense was extremely powerufl, but it shattered in an instant, becoming pieces of broken metal.

Even the shriveled, bisected body of Shang Ziyan disintegrated and turned into powder.

The divine light that flew out of Shang Ziyan’s body became much dimmer, but did not dissipate away.

Immediately, it wrapped around the Bloodbairn and the Five-colored Merit Stele as it shot straight into the sky and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Losing its target, the Staff of the Divine Envoy retracted its aura, turning back to normal as it fell into Zhang Ruochen’s hands.

Looking at the Staff of the Divine Envoy, Zhang Ruochen could not help but to feel a lingering fear.

It was really dangerous just now. If it werent for the presence of the Staff of the Divine Envoy neutralizing the danger for him, he would have been crushed by the hand of god.

“Yueshen is a really reliable patron.”

With a whisper, Zhang Ruochen put away the Staff of the Divine Envoy.

Normally, the Staff of the Divine Envoy only had two functions, one as a status symbol, the other was to contact Yueshen.

Only when Zhang Ruochen encountered an attack from a Supreme Saint or a god will the Staff of the Divine Envoy unleash its terrifying power, borrowing Yueshen’s powerful divine power.

Looking at the floating fragments of the Tricolored Armor in the air, Zhang Ruochen waved his hand as he took every single piece and put them away.

Even if he cannot repair the Tricolored Armor, these fragments were still very valuable, and could be fed to the Ancient Abyssal Blade.

It was a pity that he could not take the Bloodbairn and the Five-colored Merit Stele before they were taken away by the divine light, as those were the real treasures.

“Zhang Ruochen, you dare kill Shang Ziyan, no one can protect now you.” Xing Yuan said very gloomily.

For Shang Ziyan to be killed in his presence, when he returns to the Fane of Merits, he will have no way of explaining things to Yanshen.

The only remedy now was to kill Zhang Ruochen.

As soon as he raised his hand, Xing Yuan blasted out a terrifying palm mark towards Zhang Ruochen.

BAAAMMM!!!

Luo Chen intervened as he swung the Hidden Moon Saber and smashed Xing Yuan’s palm mark.

“Want to hurt my junior brother, you need to get through me first.”

Luo Chen’s gaze were sharp as he struck like lightning, slashing at Xing Yuan blow after blow.

With him around, he would not allow Xing Yuan to touch Zhang Ruochen at all.

At the same time, the others also made their moves as the fighting recommenced.

Whoosh!

Blackie shrank and appeared beside Zhang Ruochen.

“Not bad, for you to kill Shang Ziyan alone. You can rest by the side now, and watch me take out all of these Heavenly Realm elites.” Blackie said with his head held high.

As he said, Blackie took out black array flags and planted them in all directions.

The best way to deal with so many Heavenly Realm elites was naturally to use formation arrays.

BOOOMM!

Suddenly, a mighty aura of a Supreme Saint came from the heavens beyond, scattering the clouds and mist within a thousand of miles, but also dispelling the darkness as a sacred light fell from the sky.

Sensing this majestic saint aura, the expression of all of the cultivators on the groun changed as all of them looked up to the sky.

In a location ten thousand miles above ground stood a stalwart figure in silver armor with a tail of seven gorgeous feathers and a rainbow bridge-like shadow behind him.

“Emissaries Vigilant!”

Seeing the stalwart figure in the skies beyond, all of the cultivators were shocked.

“Cease at once!”

The Emissary Vigilant roared, his voice deep and booming.

Some of the weaker cultivators instantly they fell limp onto the ground by the voice as they bled from all orifices.
