Chapter 2095: Demonic Mirror Suppressing the Small World
On the barren hills shrouded in illusion, the eyes of Maiden of a Thousand Stars and the six elders flashed in a strange light.
The corner of Maiden of a Thousand Stars’s mouth curled up in a faint smile. “With Zhang Ruochen’s alertness, it is not easy to ambush him.”
“But what Zhang Ruochen is doing is unwise. The Sunshine Civilization has gathered thousands of Saint King cultivators, and the Jinyang Twin Kings are aiding them. By choosing to start a battle, things might not end up well for him,” said an elder, shaking his head.
The other five elders nodded in agreement. No matter how strong they were, there were only four of them on Zhang Ruochen’s side. Could they beat the thousands of Sunshine Civilization cultivators?
Maiden of a Thousand Stars disagreed. “You don’t know Zhang Ruochen well. He knows what he is doing since he dares to take the shot. Even if he can’t beat them, he can always retreat.”
In fact, she would also like to see what more tricks Zhang Ruochen had up his sleeve that he thought he could challenge the Sunshine Civilization. It was going to be an interesting battle.
In the forest of the small world, Saint King Wuyuan’s body was trembling. It was not out of fear, but anger. She was fit to be tied, as the sacred owl kept drooling over her and threatened to devour her.
“Owl, I will suck your blood, draw out your saint soul, and burn it with divine fire for a thousand years. You will wish you could die.” Saint King Wuyuan gritted her teeth.
Over the years, anyone who tried to get their hands on her had all become her source of nourishment.
Blackie had no fear. It burst into laughter instead. “I like your attitude. But I have a way to make you surrender. Zhang Ruochen, I will take charge of the Zangshan Demonic Mirror. You take care of that flower.”
Zhang Ruochen could not help but roll his eyes.
But he still handed the Zangshan Demonic Mirror to Blackie, who would continue to suppress the small forest world. He had other things to do.
“Fight! Kill every one of them!” King Dayang raised his eyebrows and bellowed.
While speaking, King Dayang and King Xiaoyang joined hands to spur the Golden Crow Ancient Cauldron with their powerful saint Qi, striking Zhang Ruochen with beams of terrifying Supreme Power.
Their purpose was apparent; they wanted to kill Zhang Ruochen as quickly as possible. As for the others, they just did not really care.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes looked like lightning, and the powerful aura in his body surged. A golden sun flew out from his forehead and collided with the Golden Crow Ancient Cauldron of the Jinyang Twin Kings.
“I didn’t know that you had mastered the Golden Sun of Destruction.” King Dayang’s heart skipped a beat.
The Golden Sun of Destruction possessed a virile, indomitable power that was difficult to control.
At first King Dayang thought Zhang Ruochen had just taken and suppressed the Golden Sun of Destruction temporarily. He did not know that Zhang Ruochen had mastered control of it so quickly.
What surprised King Dayang was that when Zhang Ruochen spurred the Golden Sun of Destruction, it unleashed an energy that surpassed that of what Sunshine Tianzi had ever done.
But what he did not know was, Zhang Ruochen possessed hundreds of thousands of times more virility than ordinary people thanks to his cultivation of Dragon-Elephant Prajna Palm Strike. Moreover, he had a divine sun in his Divine Light Sea of Qi. The divine was formed by the Sunleaf of the Sacred Seven-star Lingzhi. All these were important conditions for mastering the control of the Golden Sun of Destruction.
Of course, the most important thing was that Zhang Ruochen had refined the Ancient Golden Crow’s saint soul and a drop of blood of the Ancient Golden Crow, which worked in perfect harmony with the Golden Sun of Destruction.
The Golden Crow Ancient Cauldron and the Golden Sun of Destruction burst out in an intense golden light, just like two stars in the sky putting out their intensely blinding light.
Whomp!
The dimension outside the small forest world shattered at once. A pitch-black void dimension was exposed and released a destructive dimensional storm.
The small forest world shook violently, ripples forming on the wall of the small world like a wavy lake surface.
Likewise, the Zangshan Demonic Mirror was also shaking. The shadows of the demonic mountains formed by demonic Qi broke into pieces.
The two Supreme Artifacts were still bursting with Supreme Power; they had never stopped colliding with each other.
Meanwhile, thousands of Saint King cultivators in the little forest world had made their moves. Thousands of higher-order Thousand-Inscription Sacred Artifacts were cast out, forming a torrent of attacks that swept out with fearsome force.
It was unstoppable and could crush even celestial bodies standing in the way.
It was apparent that the cultivators of the Sunshine Civilization were taking full advantage of numbers, using this absolute strength to crush Blackie, Elder Patriarch Death Zen, and Corpse Emperor Tianming. They would let none of them get away.
Blackie moved in a flash, casting out dozens of array flags to form a mysterious Ninth Stratum Array. Working in combination with the Zangshan Demonic Mirror, the array engulfed the entire little forest world.
The purpose of doing this was simple, which was to prevent the Sunshine Civilization cultivators from getting out of the little forest world and to have the entire situation under his control.
“Go to hell, you freaking owl!”
Saint King Wuyuan made Blackie her target and cast out a five-color magic wheel.
Blackie had itself to blame for provoking Saint King Wuyuan, who despised Blackie more than Elder Patriarch Death Zen.
“Puke! Yuanhui Tribulation sacred herb. See how I will capture you.”
Blackie shouted and puked a magic seal out of its mouth.
This magic seal was a regal weapon, which it got after killing a reverend of the Bone Clan in the hidden dimension.
The magic seal expanded to as huge as a hill in an instant. It unleashed a strong dark energy to meet the five-colored magic wheel.
“I will let you know what it means by ‘Death Zen’ today—it is the price to pay for your attempt to hoodwink me. The Buddha will deliver all life; be my follower whether it is alive or dead.”
Elder Patriarch Death Zen chanted with a solemn face. The glow of a sacred Buddha light made him look like the Buddha.
As his monk robe glowed with Buddha’s light, powerful war corpses flew out of it in a special formation.
The number of war corpses was over 800. They were of various shapes and sizes. Some were human, some savage beasts, and some creatures of the Infernal Court. They all emanated a Saint King-level energy without exception.
At last, five tall figures appeared in front of this group of war corpses. The leading one was a god war corpse, and the other four were Supreme Saint-class war corpses.
Blackie was wide-eyed at seeing those war corpses. “Hey, Bald Donkey, this is amazing. Did you collect these corpses from the Battlefield of Merits?”
There had been many battles fought since the Kunlun Realm became a Battlefield of Merits. Both the Celestial Court and the Infernal Court had suffered huge casualties.
The strange and unpredictable Dead Zen Dharma created by Elder Patriarch Death Zen was indeed suitable for collecting corpses from the Battlefield of Merits.
It would have been impossible to refine so many powerful corpses if he did not do so.
The four Supreme Saint-class war corpses were excavated by Elder Patriarch Death Zen from various historical sites in the Kunlun Realm.
Now that the Kunlun realm was in trouble, instead of letting these powerful warlords continue to sleep in the underground, they should reappear in the world and make their contributions.
Blackie used to study Dead Zen Dharma and had attained some successes. It knew how hard it was to control the war corpses. The fact that Elder Patriarch Death Zen could control so many powerful war corpses, including a god war corpse, and four Supreme Saint corpses, showed how unfathomably high his attainment was.
Under Elder Patriarch Death Zen’s control, over 800 war corpses pooled their strengths together to unleash a terrifying amount of corpse Qi to greet the thousands of Thousand-Inscription Sacred Artifacts.
There was a light in Corpse Emperor of Tianming’s eyes. With the wave of a hand, he cast out the Talisman of Destiny, injecting a mighty Supreme Power into the Zangshan Demonic Mirror.
Knowing that Blackie had not only to fight against the Saint King Wuyuan but also to control the Ninth Stratum Array and the Zangshan Demonic Mirror, it could risk overreaching itself.
Since Elder Patriarch Death Zen could use the war corpses to hold back the sunshine civilization cultivators, Corpse Emperor Tianming could give Blackie a helping hand in driving the Zangshan Demonic Mirror.
This was of utmost importance, as it would directly affect the direction of the battle.
The Jin Yang Twin Kings’ heart skipped a beat upon seeing Elder Patriarch Death Zen summoning so many powerful war corpses at once.
That meant the Sunshine Civilization had lost its advantage in numbers in an instant.
“What a mysterious Dead Zen Dharma! It controls so many powerful war corpses at once. I seriously underestimated Elder Patriarch Death Zen.” King Dayang’s heart sank.
“This monk can fight a thousand troops at once. What he possesses is of greater value than those so-called powerful Supreme Saints. What kind of Dharma is he cultivating, really?”
It turned out that Elder Patriarch Death Zen was the nastiest opponent here.
The attacks of thousands of Thousand-Inscription Sacred Artifacts were indeed frightening. But they were still being held back by the war corpses of Elder Patriarch Death Zen.
The battle came to a stalemate suddenly.
A cold light flashed in Saint King Xuankong’s eyes as he secretly spurred the little forest world, wanting to get rid of the suppression of the Zangshan Demonic Mirror and the Ninth stratum Array. After all, they would always be on the defensive when being stuck in the small world.
Fortunately, this small world was extremely powerful. It was something that the Supreme Saint among the dimensional cultivators took a lot of hard work to build. It was akin to a lower void realm, extremely heavy. Otherwise, the Zangshan Demonic Mirror could have sucked it up and away.
“This Ninth Stratum Array is incredibly nasty. It has a powerful suppression ability. By the looks of things, I will have to get rid of Zhang Ruochen and others first,” Saint King Xuankong thought to himself.
He immediately mobilized his Precepts of Dimension. Combined with the power of the small world, he unleashed an invisible dimensional force and extended it toward Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen did not let down his guard despite having to fight the Jinyang Twin Kings at the same time. He knew what Saint King Xuankong was trying to pull here.
Zhang Ruochen reached out his hand and unleashed a dimensional force.
Pow!
When the dimensional forces collided, the dimension was torn apart and a huge, dimensional rift immediately formed.
Saint King Xuankong had a ruthless look in his eyes. “Not bad. Let me crush you with my dimensional technique now.”
While speaking, he formed a strange knack seal with his hands and performed a killer move he learned in the Fane of Dimension.
As the top dimensional cultivator of the Fane of Dimension, he had confidence in his dimensional technique attainment, no matter how powerful they said Zhang Ruochen was.
A large part of the dimension shattered as the violent dimensional force surged and formed into a dimensional storm that could destroy everything.
Dimensional storm is an extremely clever dimensional technique. Few Saint King cultivators could master the techniques of dimensions.
Saint King Xuankong believed he could crush Zhang Ruochen with his move alone.
After all, how long had Zhang Ruochen been practicing the dimensional technique? Not to mention that Zhang Ruochen had never been to the Fane of Dimension, and even masters of dimensions could attain the level he had.
Zhang Ruochen looked icy. With the lift of a hand, he performed a dimensional storm with an even higher level of strength.
Pow!
The dimension within several hundred yards in radius completely shattered, exposing a pitch-black area of nothingness, a sight of extreme horror.
Pow!
The technique of the Saint King Xuankong was defeated. A powerful dimensional force swept out and shook the entire little forest world.
There was a ray of silvery light in this tidal-like dimensional force. It was special in that it broke through the membrane wall and appeared next to Saint King Xuankong.
“What the hell is that?”
Saint King Xuankong was alarmed and bounced away in an instant.
But he was still a second too late; that silvery light hit his shoulder.
The light cut off Saint King Xuankong’s arm, with blood instantly gushing out of the wound.
He let out a painful scream, clutching the wound with the other hand and as he backed off.
Shock filled Saint King Xuankong’s eyes. “It was the power of time and dimension! I can’t believe that you have actually combined the power of time with that of dimension. How is it even possible?”
Each of the nine great Paths of the Ancients was transcendental. Mastering any of them was hard enough.
In the eyes of most cultivators, it was impossible to integrate the power of the two Paths of the Ancients.
But there was always an exception in everything. There was a very close connection between certain Paths of the Ancients, such as time and dimensions, where there was a small probability that they could be successfully combined.
Of course, the probability of achieving this was extremely low. Few Supreme Saint cultivators could do this, let alone Saint King cultivators.
Saint King Xuankong could clearly feel that the silvery light that cut off his arm contained both the power of dimension and time. A single strike had cut off not only his arm but also a hundred years of his lifespan.
Had the silvery light hit him on the head, his saint soul would have suffered a devastating blow.
“I don’t get it! Zhang Ruochen has only been practicing for such a short time, and he has never been to the Fane of Dimension. How did he combine the power of time with the power of dimension? Is he really expected to become the second Saint Monk Xumi?” Saint King Xuankong was shocked, fear rising inside him.
He had been defeated in the confrontation. Zhang Ruochen had shattered his pride with just one strike of the power of time and dimension.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Ruochen performed a dimensional technique with all his strength. A series of dimensional storms formed, raging outside the little forest world, destroying everything in the surroundings.
The contact between the little forest world and the outside world was lost.
Whaam!
Saint King Xuankong was badly wounded, gradually losing control over the little forest world. The powerful force of the Zangshan Demonic Mirror started to pull the little forest world out of the ground.
The true face of the little forest world was revealed. The exposed portion was just a small part of it. There was a vast space with mountains and rivers and full of vitality inside.
“I can’t believe that it has an ecosystem evolving inside. This thing is much more valuable than the Exquisite Dimensional Orb, as large as a lower void realm. This is good stuff. I had better suppress it now.” Blackie’s eyes lit up with excitement.
The Zangshan Demonic Mirror was a Supreme Artifact that contained a universe inside, large enough to accommodate ten small worlds.
“Not good. Zhang Ruochen is using a Supreme Artifact to eat up the entire small world, King Dayang,” said Saint King Xuankong, his expression changing drastically.
How could he not see through what Zhang Ruochen was up to at this point?
King Dayang’s heart missed a beat as he looked up at the black mirror above. “Break through the blockade with all your strength!”
All the Sunshine Civilization cultivators had come to their senses, realizing the seriousness of the situation. They joined hands and focused their attacks in the same direction spontaneously.
“Leave them to me.”
Elder Patriarch Death Zen clapped his hands together with a piercing look in his eyes.
The power of all the war corpses gathered on the god war corpse at once.
The god war corpse roared into the sky and then performed a palm strike.
A destructive divine power like the force of a galaxy spread out ahead of the palm strike, seemingly going to level the entire little forest world to the ground.
Elder Patriarch Death Zen coughed, with streaks of blood flowing out from the corner of his mouth.
Apparently, the use of such a technique had taken a toll on Elder Patriarch Death Zen.
On the other hand, Zhang Ruochen has gathered his mind. He was in perfect harmony with the Zangshan Demonic Mirror and the implement spirit to unleash the most powerful energy ever.
The mirror surface of the Zangshan Demonic Mirror was as vast as an ocean. It hung upside down in the sky, with ripples forming on the surface.
“The galaxy turned upside down, the universe twisted. Take them all!”
Blackie quickly changed the formation, so that Ninth Stratum Array evolved into a massive energy vortex.
The small world of mountains and rivers, affected by the pulling force of the Supreme Power and the array, moved uncontrollably toward the mirror.
Soon, the small world collided with the ocean-like mirror.
The Sunshine Civilization cultivators looked up into the sky from within the little forest world as the Supreme Power nearly suffocated them. The mirrored water curtain in the sky was drawing closer and closer. Before long, the small world would disappear into the Zangshan Demonic Mirror.
The Jinyang Twin Kings were as desperate as they were furious. Once plunging into the Supreme Artifact, they would be in great trouble as getting out would be impossible.
The Jinyang Twin Kings spat a mouthful of blood onto the Golden Crow Ancient Cauldron.
A golden light burst out of the Golden Crow Ancient Cauldron and formed into a huge three-legged Golden Crow with incredibly intimidating energy.
Baroom!
A powerful energy burst out of the three-legged Golden Crow. Before the small world completely disappeared into the Zangshan Demonic Mirror, it forced open a massive crack and managed to break out from it.
But only the two of them got away.
The other Sunshine Civilization cultivators were all taken away by Zhang Ruochen’s Supreme Artifact.
Countering the terrible suction force of the Zangshan Demonic Mirror, the three-legged Golden Crow fled as far as a hundred miles in the blink of an eye. It then transformed back into the shape of an ancient cauldron. The Jinyang Twin Kings also reverted to their true forms.
Whaam!
The Zangshan Demonic Mirror shook violently, the demonic light flickering, as if it was on the verge of losing control of the small world.
With the wave of a hand, Zhang Ruochen shrank and recalled the Zangshan Demonic Mirror. The small world was completely quiet when it fell into his hands.
Supreme Inscriptions visible on the mirror were intertwined and formed a powerful seal that isolated the world inside the mirror from the outside world.
