Chapter 2074 - Total Annihilation

Chapter 2074: Total Annihilation

Shadows lunged out from the dimensional cracks and boarded the black battleship in a flash. These people were from the Nether Clan and Bone Clan, their aura extremely powerful.

“Depart!”

The black battleship departed at the sound of a hoarse voice. It pierced through the water, heading out to the Yin Yang Sea.

Being able to sail on the Yin-Yang Sea meant that this black battleship was unusual. There were Supreme-Saint-class inscriptions engraved on it, making it resistant to the erosion of the icy-cold forces.

The Yin Yang Sea of today had become extremely dangerous to even top Saint-King cultivators. It would undoubtedly be much safer with the help of foreign objects.

The fog in the Ying Yang Sea was thick. It affected not only visibility but also spiritual power.

The black battleship disappeared into the thick fog in the blink of an eye.

“There are three hundred and ninety-five Saint-King cultivators, and seventeen of them have attained Nine-Step Saint Kinghood. They are a force to be reckoned with.” Zhang Ruochen whispered with a cold light in his eyes.

“Just the Infernal Court cultivators on this battleship can kill you ten times over. Leave now if you don’t want to die,” said the lady in a purple dress in an indifferent voice.

The lady in a purple dress said nothing further. She moved in a flash and disappeared into the fog on the Ying Yang Sea.

She thought Zhang Ruochen would be wise enough to leave when he saw so many powerful beings from the Infernal Court.

“Hey, Zhang Ruochen, you are being disdained. By the way, what should we do now?” Blackie gloated.

Zhang Ruochen did not mind it. He stared at the foggy Yin Yang Sea. “Let’s follow her.”

He then performed a Dimensional Shift and vanished from the spot.

With his existing attainment in dimensional techniques, he could shift a short distance even on the Ying Yang Sea. He could remain stealthy to even top Saint-King cultivators if he wanted by using the dimensional technique.

The last time he came to the Ying Yang Sea, he was too weak and could only rely on the ancient ship of the dead souls. But now he did not have to do that.

He caught up with the black battleship before long.

At this time, Blackie spotted the Three-eyed Ancient lady in a purple dress. She was seen walking on water, stepping on the sea spray as she followed closely behind the black battleship. Hovering above her head was the Three-Leaf Nine-Life Flower. Her body became almost transparent, her breath concealed.

But Blackie’s keen eyes were as sharp as that of a Supreme Saint. It could see the subtlest things, and that included her.

“With the help of the Three-Leaf Nine-Life Flower, she is perfectly in harmony with the water of the Ying Yang Sea, without being affected by it. Impressive!” Zhang Ruochen was astonished at hearing what Blackie said.

The water temperature of the Yin Yang Sea was so forbidding that even the most powerful Saint-King cultivators could hardly stay in it for long. It would freeze them into ice sculptures if they were not careful.

“What do you think this woman is doing, Zhang Ruochen? She just follows the battleship and does nothing. Is she waiting for a helper?” Puzzlement filled Blackie’s eyes.

Its vision was sharp that it could see the impressive cultivation base of the lady in a purple dress, and that she was a top Path’s Anterior cultivator.

With such a level of cultivation, no wonder she looked down on Zhang Ruochen.

How strong could a nascent Heaven’s Reach cultivator be under normal circumstances?

“She is definitely not the only Re-Awakener at the Yin Yang Sea. By the looks of things, those Re-Awakeners have acted against the Netherkin and Bone Clan cultivators. I wonder why. What are they worrying about?”

No matter how they looked at it, all this seemed very abnormal.

At first, it was only the taboo, powerful being who remained quiet. So why did even the other Re-Awakened stay quiet? Did they not care when the Netherkin and Bone Clan took the treasures of the Divine Dragon race?

Waves of hundreds of yards high rose from the sea all of a sudden.

An ancient ship of dead souls sailed out of the black fog like a skeleton. It carried tons of human and savage beast skeletons with phantoms flickering inside. It looked like a ship of death from hell.

Zhang Ruochen also heard ghastly cackles in the distance.

His eyes fixated on the ancient ship of the dead souls.

He still remembered that the last time he entered the Yin Yang Sea, the ancient ship of the dead souls that he took was similar to this one. He had many strange encounters and almost died onboard.

Seeing this ghastly ship again here was totally unexpected. He dreaded even though he was at the pinnacle of Saint Kinghood in his strength.

“Shit! I can’t believe to see this boat of death on the Ying Yang Sea again.”

The appearance of the ancient ship of the dead souls alarmed all the powerful beings of the Nether Clan and Bone Clan, too.

They had apparently studied the Ying Yang Sea before and knew the danger of this ancient ship of the dead souls.

The Netherkin cultivator with two horns immediately acted when he saw the ancient ship of the dead souls approaching. He grabbed a white dragon with a broken tail, cut open its body and let its blood spurt.

Strangely, as the dragon’s blood splattered on the ancient ship of the dead souls, the ship slowed

“The blood of these dragons is very useful in the Ying Yang Sea.” A cultivator from the Bone Clan sneered.

The Netherkin cultivator with two horns nodded in agreement. “Indeed. So we have got to use it sparingly. Their blood is precious for opening True Dragon Island. We can’t afford to mess up the plan of the lords.”

The white dragon with a broken tail was struggling in pain. It was suppressed, seriously injured. It became weaker and started to lose consciousness as its blood was drained.

The White Dragon King could not accept the fact that it was dying such a tragic death.

Swish!

A silvery-white sword light flashed across, cutting off the arm of the Netherkin cultivator who gripped the White Dragon King.

Before the cultivators on the battleship could know what happened, all dragons, including the White Dragon King, vanished into thin air.

“Who is it?” The Netherkin cultivator with two horns roared in anger.

Zhang Ruochen emerged from the black fog and stared coldly at all the cultivators on the battleship. “The one who comes to kill you all.”

Far away from the dimensional crack at this moment, Zhang Ruochen did not want to wait any longer and was ready to strike.

He could not turn a blind eye like the lady in a purple dress could.

After all, those dragons are all living beings of the Kunlun Realm.

Zhang Ruochen also had conflicts with the dragon of Mount Zulong. They had even fought in the past. But it was an internal conflict in the Kunlun Realm. It was another matter when the Infernal Court poked its nose into the matter.

All the major races in the Kunlun Realm should unite to fight off the Infernal Court’s invasion and massacre.

The lady in a purple dress hiding behind the battleship had a surprised look on her face. “He was tailing me, and now, he even snatched the dragon from so many Netherkin and Bone Clan cultivators. Does he have a death wish?”

But those Netherkin and Bone Clan cultivators onboard the battleship had a completely opposite reaction to those of the lady in a purple dress.

They all were alarmed when they saw it was Zhang Ruochen. “How—how come you are here, Zhang Ruochen?”

They had never expected to see this killer in the Ying Yang Sea.

Supreme Saint-class inscriptions appeared on the surface of the black battleship, intertwining and surging with dark power to form a dark light curtain.

“Hurry up! Leave the Yin Yang Sea immediately.”

All the cultivators onboard the battleship decided to leave. There was no hesitation.

The Yin Yang Sea could affect the defense effectiveness of the dark light curtain, which might not withstand Zhang Ruochen’s attack.

They would be safe once they left the Ying Yang Sea.

No one in their right mind would want to fight against Zhang Ruochen.

During the battle of the Sect of the Blood God, Zhang Ruochen had shown her formidable second level non-Supreme Saint combat strength. News had spread far and wide throughout the Celestial Court and Infernal Court. Who would not be intimidated?

There were many powerful beings aboard the battleship, among them were the many Path’s Anterior cultivators. But there was not one third level non-Supreme Saint being here, let alone second level. How could they beat Zhang Ruochen?

Swish!

Green vines appeared out of nowhere and wrapped around the black battleship.

Moyin lunged out of Zhang Ruochen’s spine and launched a fiery attack on the battleship.

She had attained Path’s Anterior in her cultivation base during her previous closed-door cultivation. Her actual strength now was at the limit of Path’s Anterior.

Every vine released by Moyin was extremely tough, comparable to a Thousand-Inscription Sacred Artifact, extremely powerful.

The black battleship was putting out a powerful energy, but it could break away from the vines.

By Zhang Ruochen’s side, several dragon kings of Mount Zulong had regained their freedom and form-shifted into human form.

“Zhang Ruochen.” The Heaven-devourer Dragon looked at Zhang Ruochen with mixed feelings.

He and Zhang Ruochen were talented beings of the same era in the Kunlun Realm. He was once even more legendary than Zhang Ruochen was. Everyone feared him. He had been destined to become the new generation of dragon kings of Mount Zulong.

For a long time, the Heaven-devourer Dragon was proud and never thought someone else could be more powerful than he was.

But as time went by, the gap between him and Zhang Ruochen widened. He was lagging far behind.

While he had now become a prisoner at the mercy of others, Zhang Ruochen shocked the world to become the killer god in the eyes of many cultivators.

At the speed of Zhang Ruochen’s rise eclipsed that of all other geniuses.

The Heaven-devourer Dragon never expected that he would actually need Zhang Ruochen to save him. He had nothing but despair in his heart now.

Rescued by his former enemy, who now saw his pathetic situation, the Heaven-devourer Dragon could not describe his feelings.

Boom!

Moyin breached the defense of the black battleship with an all-destroying force.

Zap!

The vines released by Moyin pierced through the bodies of dozens of cultivators.

A series of screams rose as those cultivators could not fight back. Moyin was quickly devouring their vital essence in their bodies.

As a Saint Devourer, the vital essence of cultivators could become a nutrient for its evolution.

“Still thinking of fleeing? You are all a bunch of craps. I don’t even need to do it myself. Moyin, kill them!” Blackie burst into laughter.

There was a charming smile on Moyin’s face, but she was extremely ruthless. Right now, she was slaughtering the cultivators of the Infernal Court aboard the battleship.

Not even Nine-Step Saint Kings could withstand Moyin’s attack. She literally sucked those people dry of their vital essence.

But those Netherkin and Bone Clan cultivators had got a quick response. They all gathered together and launched counterattacks at once.

Nearly a hundred Netherkin cultivators gathered together to release a powerful dark power. A curse energy permeated the air and formed a torrent of curse to attack Moyin.

Those surviving Bone Clan cultivators performed a secret technique, joining to form into a skeleton giant nearly a thousand yards tall. A dark power surrounded it as the skeleton giant struck out a punch.

Curse was the natural ability of the Nether Clan. It was mysterious and could kill even the best cultivators in the most explicable way.

Whiff!

Corroded by the power of the curse, some vines released by Moyin withered instantly.

The skeleton giant’s attack was so powerful that it broke many vines.

A group of Netherkin cultivators chanted some obscure mantras, gathering their spiritual energy to infiltrate the void.

“Hand of Curse!”

The dimension shook violently as a crack split open. A huge grayish brown hand that carried an endless curse energy and could deprive a person’s soul reached out from it.

“Not good!”

When the grayish brown hand appeared, all the vines released by Moyin turned grayish white. They quickly lost their vitality, and the phenomenon spread towards her.

Moyin’s face changed drastically. She quickly cut off all the vines and retreated as quick as she could.

“Die!”

The skeleton giant, comprising many Bone Clan cultivators, shouted. A cold energy formed on its fist. And then it struck out at Moyin at once.

Just then, an overpowering and blunt energy appeared, followed by Thunder God Reverend standing in front of Moyin.

“Annihilation Thunder!” Zhang Ruochen bellowed. With the help of the Golden Thunder Orb, he performed an extremely overpowering thunder technique.

A series of golden lightning bolts appeared, carrying a world-annihilating energy as it struck the grayish brown hand.

Each lightning strike reduced the curse power of the grayish brown hand a little.

Strangely, the grayish brown hand let out a painful cry each time it was struck.

Kaboom!

The fist of the skeleton giant exploded, and the cold energy disappeared.

The dimensional crack in the air continued to expand as more grayish brown hands reached out from it in tandem. The terrifying sight looked as if the hell gate had opened with vicious ghosts crawling out of it.

“Humph!”

Zhang Ruochen snorted as he spurred the Golden Thunder Orb to push Annihilation Thunder to the limit.

Golden Thunder Orbs started to form before shooting out at the dimensional crack and exploding.

Baroom!

The dimensional crack instantly shattered under the heavy bombardment, while that grayish brown hand vanished.

Barf!

The secret technique was defeated and all the Netherkin cultivators puked blood as they got a huge backlash.

Thunderclouds rolled in the sky as golden thunder dragons soared, sending down a barrage of powerful lightning bolts to engulf the entire battleship.

That skeleton giant exploded at once, as it could not withstand the powerful lightning strike. Shards of bones were all over the place. Most Bone Clan cultivators died while few barely survived.

The thunder technique was overpowering and blunt. It was a Nether Clan and Bone Clan killer.

There were only dozens of cultivators left on the battleship. Apart from struggling, there was nothing else they could do.

“I will bring you along with me even if I die, Zhang Ruochen!”

The Netherkin cultivator with two horns roared, a devastating energy radiating from his body.

But there was only a look of disdain in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes. “Do you think you have a chance to self-detonate in front of me?”

While speaking, a powerful force burst out of Zhang Ruochen’s body, instantly freezing a dimension as large as ten miles in radius.

Frozen along with the dimension was the violent power of the Netherkin cultivator.

Zhang Ruochen had accumulated 280,000 Precepts after his previous closed-door cultivation. So the power of his dimensional technique had also improved tremendously.

“How—how could this be possible?”

The Netherkin cultivator with two horns was shocked. He could not believe what happened.

This was the Ying Yang Sea, of which the dimension differed vastly from the outside world. This place reduced the effectiveness of any dimensional technique.

He could not believe that Zhang Ruochen’s dimensional technique could still be so terrifyingly powerful despite being suppressed.

The other cultivators were just equally shocked. Their eyes were wide open in fear.

“Annihilate.” Zhang Ruochen spelled out a word.

Kaboom!

The bodies of the remaining Netherkin and Bone cultivators exploded. Not even the powerful Nine-Step Saint Kings were spared.

The Netherkin cultivators vanished, while all that was left of the Bone Clan cultivators were pieces of shattered bones.

Nearly four hundred Saint-King cultivators were wiped out in the blink of an eye. They had fought with all their strength, yet they could not even hurt him a bit.

“So you are the Scion of Time and Space, Zhang Ruochen.”

The lady in a purple dress revealed herself, her beautiful eyes flickering with light. She looked at Zhang Ruochen as if he was a monster.

No matter how proud and cold her temperament was, she had difficulty remaining calm now. She had been wrong about Zhang Ruochen.
