Murong Yue had terrifying cold force on her body. She stood behind Zhang Ruochen and looked into the distance at where the immortal vampires left. She said, "I can't believe those crown princes and crown princesses from the immortal vampire race are leaving. I thought they were still going to fight."
Aside from Murong Yue, Huang Yanchen, Qing Mo, Blackie, Sun Dadi, Sikong One, Sikong Two and White Li Princess were all standing in a line behind Zhang Ruochen.
All of them were glowing with holy light, and terrifying ripples spread from their bodies.
Other than Blackie, everyone had refined their divine medicine pills and had improved their cultivation to some extent. At this moment, they were all filled with desires to fight. They wanted to fight the crown princes and crown princess of the immortal vampire race.
Sun Dadi had pa.s.sed the second pre-saint trial. He carried the iron rod on his shoulder and yelled, "I want to fight the crown princes of the immortal vampire race as well. Sadly, they've already fled after I pa.s.sed the second pre-saint trial. How disappointing."
Zhang Ruochen smiled. "You should feel lucky. If Sacred Sect really fights the immortal vampires, someone will definitely die."
"Crown prince Qi Sheng from Qitian Tribe is terrifically powerful. He is a peerless talent that's only seen every ten thousand years. Aside from me, perhaps only Sikong One and Sikong Two combined are able to fight him."
Everyone stopped smiling and was shocked after hearing what Zhang Ruochen said.
Sikong One and Sikong Two were able to match Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon when they teamed up.
And now, the two monks had taken the divine medicinal pills. Although they hadn't completely refined the pills, their cultivation was already greatly improved, which was about to reach pinnacle second-trial pre-saint.
How powerful was Qitian Crown Prince, that he could rival Sikong One and Sikong Two combined?
Zhang Ruochen said, "Qitian Crown Prince was born to have six wings, and he has G.o.d-killing Cross s.h.i.+eld. He's like Pluto reborn. Before Sikong One and Sikong Two pa.s.s the third pre-saint trial, they're likely to be defeated by him."
After hearing that, even Sun Dadi, who was fearless, became quiet.
Murong Yue was very curious. She asked, "If Qitian Crown Prince is really that powerful, why did he choose to run away?"
Zhang Ruochen pondered the question for a while and said, "There're some internal reasons, but there're also some external reasons. Both Qitian Crown Prince and I have a lot of concerns. If we fight at this moment, it'll be a lose-lose for everyone."
"Is Qiu Yu your concern?" Huang Yanchen asked.
"Not just him."
Zhang Ruochen recalled the figure of Emperor Tianming, and he felt intimidated.
On the surface, Emperor Tianming was also a human being, who was supposed to be on Zhang Ruochen's side.
Actually, Zhang Ruochen had forced Yin Xuanji to give up his actual body in the netherworld, costing Emperor Tianming the best body he could find.
And now, Emperor Tianming started to live his second life, yet he had to use a body with flaws, which made him much weaker than he expected. He had every reason to hate Zhang Ruochen.
All the powers in Blue Dragon Void World were in a subtle balance.
"How should we deal with this blood saint from Qingtian Tribe?"
Blackie smirked and brought Zuotian Blood Saint.
Blackie severely injured Zuotian Blood Saint on Dragon Top Mountain, and it sealed the saintly source in his body using some secret techniques so that he wouldn't let out his cultivation at the state of saint to kill everyone with him.
"Kneel before our overlord!" Murong Yue scolded him.
"Overlord? What overlord?"
Zuotian Blood Saint was still filled with pride. He looked disdainful.
He was a creature at the state of saint, which meant he looked down at most of the creatures in this world. Even if he was captured, he wouldn't kneel before a half saint.
Murong Yue took out his divine sword and cut the legs of Zuotian Blood Saint.
Chi.
Zuotian Blood Saint's hamstrings were chopped off, and they started to bleed. His legs couldn't help shaking.
"It is the overlord of Sacred Sect who is standing in front of you. You don't get a say on whether you can kneel or not."
Murong Yue put back her sword and hit the head of Zuotian Blood Saint, forcing him to kneel on the ground with his knees pressed into the mud.
"What Sacred Sect? I've never heard of it."
Zuotian Blood Saint's face started to twitch. He clenched his teeth, supporting his body with his hands, trying to get up again.
He was a saint, yet he was so suppressed by a bunch of juniors that he was kneeling on the ground. He felt extremely bitter, and he swore in his heart that he would drain everyone's blood if he could make it back to Kunlun's Field and break the seal in his body.
"He's just a lower-cla.s.s saint. Worthless. Carnivorous Holy Flower, he's all yours now."
What Zhang Ruochen just said basically sentenced that saint to death.
He didn't even look at Zuotian Blood Saint. Instead, he was thinking about something else.
Silver branches extended out of Zhang Ruochen's back, and then, the vines of Carnivorous Holy Flower showed up, piercing the body of Zuotian Blood Saint.
"Wonderful! I can actually absorb the power of a living saint. Perhaps this is the chance for my fruit to mature. Zhang Ruochen, you're a reliable guy. No wonder Divine Sky-connecting Tree approves of you."
Carnivorous Holy Flower couldn't be more excited and praised Zhang Ruochen.
As for Zuotian Blood Saint, he was miserable. The vines of Carnivorous Holy Flower pierced through his entire body, which gradually desiccated. He couldn't help yelling in agony.
For as long as he lived, he had been treating human beings like food, enjoying sucking dry a person.
Now, he finally got a taste of being drained of energies and blood by other creatures. He was overwhelmed by pain.
The blood-curdling scream of Zuotian Blood Saint echoed in the sky and land.
All the immortal vampires gnashed their teeth in anger as they felt humiliated by Zhang Ruochen.
On the contrary, all the human monks felt relieved and admired Zhang Ruochen as Zhang Ruochen accomplished something they had been wanting to do but couldn't.
"He looks elegant and gentle, but actually, he can be a.s.sertive as well. I finally know the other side of him in Blue Dragon Void World."
"He used a saint as nutrients for his flower. G.o.d knows what other insane things he's capable of."
"G.o.d knows how much blood an immortal vampire needs to become a saint. Zuotian Blood Saint deserved what he got. What Zhang Ruochen did is amazing."
As it absorbed the essence and b.l.o.o.d.y Qi of Zuotian Blood Saint, the fruit at the top of the vine of Carnivorous Holy Flower grew larger and larger, with its light becoming brighter.
Zhang Ruochen stared at the fruit of Carnivorous Holy Flower. On the fruit emerged traces of silver engravings as if it were a bizarre moon hanging in the sky.
"This fruit seems to be extraordinary. What benefits are there going to if I eat it?" Zhang Ruochen whispered to himself.
The vines of Carnivorous Holy Flower fiercely shook and pa.s.sed a trace of mind power to alert Zhang Ruochen, "This is the first fruit I bear. Don't even think about touching it." Zhang Ruochen was smiling but was still interested in that silver fruit. It the fruit had matured, he would have already picked it.
Carnivorous Holy Flower then said, "The first fruit is my virtual body. It is another body of mine. If you eat that, I'll kill you."
Carnivorous Holy Flower was very serious. It didn't seem to be kidding Zhang Ruochen.
"Virtual body?"
Zhang Ruochen looked confused and said, "What do you mean? How can a flower have a virtual body? And how can you have a second body? Then what's the stage of your current body?"
Carnivorous Holy Flower was afraid that Zhang Ruochen might actually eat its virtual body, so it explained, "This body of mine is called the real body. The first fruit I bear is a virtual one, which is similar to the saint souls of human beings."
"I'll have the second, the third and more fruits… I can also have more bodies in the future, like flesh bodies, law bodies and hundred thousand incarnations."
"Of course, real bodies, virtual bodies, flesh bodies, law bodies and hundred thousand incarnations can be both integrated and separated."
Zhang Ruochen now understood what happened. He nodded, looked at the silver fruit at the top of the vines and said, "That fruit is your virtual body? I can sense the gigantic energy ripples contained inside. If I take it, my saint soul can be improved to an extraordinary level."
Carnivorous Holy Flower was furious and wanted to fight Zhang Ruochen.
Certainly, Zhang Ruochen was just joking. He didn't intend to eat the virtual body of Carnivorous Holy Flower.
Instead, Zhang Ruochen really looked forward to the second time that the Holy Carnivorous Holy Flower blossomed. He wondered whether the flesh body was going to be male or female.
Carnivorous Holy Flower's cultivation was boosted after absorbing all the b.l.o.o.d.y Qi and essence of Zuotian Blood Saint.
Unfortunately, its fruit still needed more to mature.
"Give me that saint soul of yours, Zhang Ruochen. I need to make my fruit mature so that I can refine a virtual body."
Carnivorous Holy Flower sent a trace of mind power to Zhang Ruochen and looked eager.
Zhang Ruochen did have a saint source, but he didn't plan to give it to Carnivorous Holy Flower at this moment.
Carnivorous Holy Flower was already megpowerful.
If it really refined its virtual body and merged its virtual body and the real body, its power would surge. There was a chance that it might swallow Zhang Ruochen back.
Zhang Ruochen had to guard himself against it. He said, "I'll give you that saint soul in the future, but not now. I have more important things to do." Carnivorous Holy Flower wanted to resist it, but it was pushed back to Zhang Ruochen's body.
Zhang Rochen took everyone to rush to the peak of Dragon Top Mountain.
The shattered s.p.a.ce in this area had already recovered.
Dragon Top Mountain had disappeared completely from the ground. What was left were giant cracks, fractured mountains and gus.h.i.+ng lava.
"What are we doing here, overlord?" Murong Yue asked.
Zhang Ruochen stood beside the edge of a crack and said, "There was a mysterious power in Dragon Top Mountain which made the s.p.a.ce structure around it much more stable than that in other places. There's got to be a reason behind it. Where did that mysterious force come from?"
Zhang Ruochen stared beneath the crack.
And then, he took out his Abyss Ancient Sword and performed sword defending technique. He jumped into the crack, breaking the solid rocks and rus.h.i.+ng down along the crack.
