God Emperor - Chapter 1086

Chapter 1086: 1086

The stronger one’s Spiritual Power was, the more mysterious their abilities were . Some of them were even more terrifying than saint spells .

Wiping and extracting a Monk’s memories wasn’t hard for a 49th level Spiritual Half-Saint .

“Princess White Li is from an ancient race . She can hide a portion of her memory in her blood,” Blackie reminded . “Her Spiritual Power is far from yours, but her will is very strong . Once she becomes a Saint, she may recover her memory . ”

“No problem . ”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to control Princess White Li . He only wanted to use her to top the Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon . It wasn’t a big deal even if she recovered her memories later .

Spirit returned to Princess White Li’s eyes . Her clear eyes studied Zhang Ruochen and Blackie curiously . “Who are you? Why are you with me, the princess?”

Zhang Ruochen exchanged a glance with Blackie . As expected, she still had some memories hidden in her blood that Zhang Ruochen couldn’t take away . At least, she still knew that she was a princess .

Excited, Blackie walked over, rubbing its claws . Smiling, it said, “You are my queen . Your name is Queen White Li . ”

When it said this, Blackie had already reached out to grab Princess White Li’s hands . The princess was dazed, but she still grabbed Blackie’s paw .

Just as Blackie was getting cocky, a gust of icy power spread from Princess White Li’s hand, freezing it . Then the princess waved her hand, tossing Blackie far away .

Princess White Li was from an ancient race . Even with her cultivation sealed, her physical strength was still terrifying . Swinging her arm with all her might, she threw Blackie into the horizon . It disappeared as a small black dot .

Even Zhang Ruochen was shocked . What was going on?

“A stupid cat dares to call itself king? If it’s that way, then isn’t it in a higher level than I?”

Princess White Li pouted . Instead of a composed fairy, she was like a spoiled princess . Even though she’d lost her memories, she was still very intelligent and saw through Blackie’s lie .

Zhang Ruochen looked into the sky . He couldn’t see Blackie . It probably wouldn’t be back any time soon .

The white-haired man and woman had woken up, but Sikong One had put the Vajra Shackle on them, sealing their bodies and cultivations . Right now, rings of golden chains were wrapped all around their limbs .

“Princess, don’t worry about us!” the elderly woman said anxiously . “Hurry and run . The three humans are top fighters . You aren’t their match!”

Princess White Li pointed at herself in confusion . “Are you talking about me? Why should I run? Who are you?”

The man and woman’s expressions changed . They realized something was wrong with Princess White Li .

The woman’s face twisted . “Zhang Ruochen!” she roared . “What did you do to the princess?”

Still composed, Zhang Ruochen walked over to them . “My target is the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon, not Princess White Li . If you two can cooperate with me, I promise Princess White Li won’t be in danger .

“You—”

The woman wanted to continue, but the man stopped her . He saw the situation clearly . With their current state, they couldn’t negotiate with Zhang Ruochen at all . Plus, since Zhang Ruochen was willing to talk to them, it meant that they wouldn’t die right now .

“I hope the Space and Time Descendant will keep his word,” the man said .

“Oh?”

Zhang Ruochen suddenly sensed something . He looked up at the starry sky . While sensing, he walked to a higher sandhill .

It was dawn right now . The Evening Star in the east of the sky quickly dimmed . Various red stars suddenly appeared around it .

Whoosh—

Dozens of shooting stars shot through where the Evening Star was and flew to the north .

“The Evening Star has lost its luster . Instead of the sun, the east is covered in blood . This kind of astrological scene represents…no light in Hell . ”

Zhang Ruochen sighed, his expression ugly .

Sikong One scratched his head and asked curiously, “Senior Uncle, what does that mean?”

“Senior Brother,” Sikong Two said immediately, “No light in Hell is an inauspicious phenomenon . At the same time, it is related to something happening in the world at the moment . The Evening Star clearly represents Yingsha City . ”

“What does it mean if the Evening Star dims?” Sikong One asked .

Sikong Two sighed . “It’s possible that…Yingsha City has already been lost . ”

“What exactly does ‘no light in Hell’ mean?” Sikong One still didn’t understand .

“When Hell arrives, it becomes devoid of light . Or it means that many creatures have died and are unable to see light anymore . From this, we can interpret that the humans and beasts in Yingsha City have fought again . The bloodshed must have been horrible with rivers of blood and mountains of corpses . ”

“It’s only some stars,” Sikong One said again . “How come you and Senior Uncle can see all these things? My cultivation isn’t any weaker, so why can’t I see?”

Sikong Two put his hands together . Instead of explaining, he chanted a hymn as if sending the dead away .

“When your Spiritual Power is in the 49th level and getting closer to becoming a Saint,” Zhang Ruochen said, “you’ll be able to understand the world through the stars . This is called astrology!”

In the distance, Princess White Li’s eyes grew curious . She was interested in the mysterious astrology .

She immediately walked over to Zhang Ruochen . Instead of fearing him, she grabbed his arm like a little girl . Happily, she asked, “Can you teach me astrology?”

Zhang Ruochen had a worried expression . Ignoring Princess White Li, he said to Sikong One and Two, “Stay and accompany Blackie . I must head to Yingsha City immediately . ”

He hadn’t expected that the humans of Yingsha City would be unable to control themselves and fight with the beasts so quickly . This put him in a tight spot .

How exactly was the situation there? Was it really “no light in Hell?”

If he knew that they would fight tonight, Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t have wasted so much time here .

“No . ” Sikong Two immediately went to stop Zhang Ruochen . “Senior Uncle, the astrological phenomenon has already appeared . This means that everything is set and no one can change it . Going to Yingsha City now is going against nature . You will die . No one can fight against nature . ”

Sikong One also added, “Since they dared to go forcefully against the beasts, they’re looking for death . Why should we get involved?”

“Don’t worry . I’m just going to look . ” Zhang Ruochen couldn’t keep waiting . Wrapping Princess White Li and the two elders in Holy Qi, he used the Great Spatial Move and disappeared from the spot .

This journey was dangerous . Zhang Ruochen decided to go alone . Even though astrological phenomenon had already appeared, Zhang Ruochen still wasn’t afraid . Maybe he could do something if he went to look .

In the end, he wasn’t a cold-blooded man .

When he reached the outside of Yingsha City, he saw a hellish scene . The ground was completely cracked . The cracks were dozens of miles long, clearly the result of the Destruction of the Thousand Patterns .

A cold wind blew, bringing about a bloody scent . There were human and beast corpses for as far as he could see . He couldn’t even count them .

Black smoke rose up from the corpses . War fire burned . There were no cries anymore . Everything was silent .

Zhang Ruochen saw some familiar corpses on the battlefield .

Cai Jin, the manager of the Cai Family, was a Pre-Saint and had come to the Blue Dragon Void World to search for an opportunity to become a Saint . Right now, he was an incomplete corpse, fallen in a puddle of blood . Perhaps because all his blood had run dry, his old face looked extraordinarily pale and menacing .

Chi Yutang, one of the four lords of the Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion, had died as well . Half of his head and internal organs had been eaten by a beast . All that remained was a bloody shell .

Zhang Ruochen discovered the aura of Blue Night, 13th disciple of Discipline King Haiming, and quickly found his corpse .

There was a patch of scorched dirt, hundreds of feet wide . The earth had caved in and red electric fire surged in the dirt . The center was Blue Night’s body . It had become a pile of broken bones .

“Blue Night is dead . Can Ji Shui still be alive?” Zhang Ruochen muttered to himself . In the end, he could only sigh and shake his head . He used a physical technique to fly toward Yingsha City .

As expected, Yingsha City had been conquered . Half of the towering city walls had collapsed . Only some remnants were still standing .

Some faint rumbles sounded inside the city . The war between the humans and beasts seemed to have not ended yet .

Hundreds of humans hung from the damaged city wall . They’d all been stabbed through by a single black metal nail to the wall . Some of them had already died from loss of blood while the others were still wailing and struggling .

The scene was tragic . Blood flowed continuously from the wall, converging in the pool of blood on the concave land .

Wan Huayu and the beautiful twins from the Shangguan Clan, Shangguan Linglong and Shangguan Nihong, were all nailed on the wall .

Shangguan Nihong had already died . Her body was cold and stiff . Shangguan Linglong was still alive but on her last breath . A nail had gone through her neck to nail her to the wall . Her entire body was dyed red by the blood .

Wan Huayu was still alive . A nail had pierced her stomach, positioning her right above the city gate . The fire phoenix armor was dull now, but she hadn’t let go of her blood-red sword .

Devastation and desolation .

Yingsha City was still vast, but it gave off an eerie feeling as if it was a ghost city from Hell .

Zhang Ruochen walked on the bloody sand, stepping past the corpses scattered on the ground . He walked toward Yingsha City . The cold wind blew past his robes, rustling them .

Many beasts were gathered below and atop the city walls . They’d stayed behind to watch the gate . That moment, they saw the human striding toward Yingsha City .
