Chapter 1410: 1410
“Pray to the sky and earth . ”
The cultivators of the Sacred stood in all directions and yelled at the same time . The deafening voices filled the entire Mount Tianmu .
Then everyone reached out at once, sending Holy Qi into the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron .
Bright golden light shone from within .
If one looked from ten thousand miles away, one would see that the Peakless Mountain had turned entirely golden . A strong beam of power kept seeping out of it .
In an instant, Qiu Yu was returned to his original shape by the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron . He turned into a huge flaming divine tree . Faint divine power poured out of the tree, but he still couldn’t escape from the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron .
Qiu Yu’s words of compromise came from within the divine tree . “Zhang Ruochen… Spare my life and I’ll listen to you from now on . ”
Hearing this, the powerful Saints who’d once been close to Qiu Yu felt disdain .
Even an ordinary Saint had their own reputation and ego, viewing them as more important than their own life .
As the divine parasol tree and the future world spiritual root of Kunlun’s Field, Qiu Yu was actually begging his enemy . This was unacceptable for many cultivators .
The world spiritual root wasn’t only a medium to connect the World Spirit and the rules of the world . Even more, it represented an entire world’s will .
Most of the cultivators present couldn’t accept having Qiu Yu represent the will of Kunlun’s Field .
“I don’t need you to work for me . ”
Zhang Ruochen spoke coldly from under the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron . Then he raised his head and slowly lifted his hands . He prepared to open up the world gates of the Universe World so the Divine Sky-connecting Tree could absorb the parasol tree’s power .
But when he looked up, he saw 33 brilliant stars gleaming in the sky .
That was…Chi Yao’s Star Soul Constellation .
The other cultivators on the ground also sensed the sparkling constellation in the sky . Their hearts all trembled .
“The Empress… The Empress is returning to Kunlun’s Field…”
One Saint Elder of the Fire Tribe was overjoyed . After letting out a long scream, he prostrated himself respectfully on the ground and kowtowed to the constellation . “Empress, a true god . ”
Even a Saint Elder was kneeling . The other cultivators of the Fire Tribe naturally kowtowed as well .
The next moment, boundless divine might poured out of the 33 stars . They transformed into starlight and fell to the ground, shrouding the land of Peakless Mountain .
All the cultivators at the peak of Mount Tianmu were terrified . They prostrated themselves on the ground . No one dared to go against a deity .
Below the mountain, Shi Qianjue, the Fire Lord, Death Zen Elder, Vice Leader, Murong Yefeng, and the golden Ni who were fighting all stopped . Under the divine might, even they knelt on the ground .
Actually, as long as a deity didn’t target a Supreme Saint, they could fight back against the deity with their cultivation and willpower . At least, they could stay upright .
But the Supreme Saints present could all feel that divine might wasn’t all that came from the constellation . There was also the anger of a god .
No one was stupid enough to go up against a deity .
Plus, kneeling to a god wasn’t embarrassing .
A beam of seven-colored divine light flew from the 33 stars . They landed above Mount Tianmu and consolidated into Empress Chi Yao’s figure .
She stood on a seven-colored cloud . She wore a divine robe and her black hair was piled on her head . She had eyes more beautiful than the stars and she radiated with a mighty and divine aura .
Only one person in this space didn’t kneel . It was Zhang Ruochen .
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were bloodshot . He stood on Mount Tianmu, leaning on his sword . He used his strong willpower to go against the divine might .
Unfortunately, his cultivation and Spiritual Power were too weak compared to a god . He couldn’t counter Chi Yao at all . His legs kept trembling as if they were about to bend and fall to the ground .
Cold disdain appeared in Empress Chi Yao’s eyes as they locked onto Zhang Ruochen . “You actually dared to destroy the Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion . You are so courageous . ”
Every divine sound that traveled through strengthened the divine might that Zhang Ruochen suffered from .
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen roared . A decisive look appeared in his eyes . He swung his sword and with a poof, broke his own two legs .
Without the support of his legs, Zhang Ruochen fell heavily to the ground .
All the cultivators present were impressed inside, but they also laughed inwardly that Zhang Ruochen was so stupid .
Didn’t he see that the Supreme Saints were all prostrated on the ground? It was not embarrassing to kneel before a deity . Why must he break his own legs?
Inside the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron, Qiu Yu was ecstatic . He laughed, saying, “Zhang Ruochen, I told you before that fighting against the entire Kunlun’s Field is death . Now, the Empress has returned, you and those crazy Sacred rebels will all die . Haha…”
Qiu Yu was laughing, but halfway through, he couldn’t laugh anymore .
He saw that someone else was still standing beside Zhang Ruochen, having fended off the Empress’ divine might .
More accurately, she wasn’t a person but a beautiful Ghost King .
There was a blood moon’s print on her forehead . She extended a snowy-white finger and pressed lightly on Zhang Ruochen’s legs .
In that instant, Zhang Ruochen’s broken legs were reconnected .
He didn’t feel the divine might anymore and stood back up . It was clear that Ghost King Bloodmoon was helping him block Chi Yao’s divine might, so he could remain standing .
“She can be so composed before a god and protect Zhang Ruochen . What kind of existence is this?”
“No wonder Zhang Ruochen dared to destroy the Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion and attack Peakless Mountain . He has strong support behind him . ”
“That can’t be a god too, right?”
The imperial court, Sacred followers, Demonic Sect, Fire Tribe… All cultivators present were incredulous . They all looked at Ghost King Bloodmoon, trying to guess her identity .
Ghost King Bloodmoon met Empress Chi Yao’s eyes . Two gusts of divine might interwove in the space between them . Zhang Ruochen could see clearly that cracks had actually appeared in the space . It was about to turn into spatial fragments .
After the test, they didn’t attack further . Instead, they pulled back their divine might .
“I thought you would die in the Heaven World,” Ghost King Bloodmoon said . “I didn’t think that you would return to Kunlun’s Field so soon . It seems that the saintly road has already been paved between Kunlun’s Field and Heaven World . ”
Empress Chi Yao stepped on the seven-colored cloud with 33 stars above her head . “Why are you protecting Zhang Ruochen?” she asked .
Ghost King Bloodmoon’s voice was cool . “I’m naturally protecting him because I see his potential . How about you give him to me?”
“Impossible,” Empress Chi Yao said .
“What if I insist on saving him?” Ghost King Bloodmoon asked .
“This is Kunlun’s Field and my Star Soul Constellation is in the sky . It can provide me with unlimited divine power . Are you sure you want to start a divine war with me for a Saint?”
Ghost King Bloodmoon was fearless . “Once we begin a divine war, I can promise that all beings within one million miles will die completely . There are a lot of Saints and Supreme Saints gathered here, right? If they all die, what will you use to compete in the Heaven World? You’ve already been there . You should know that our power isn’t important there at all . What’s important is their abilities . ”
Ghost King Bloodmoon and Empress Chi Yao both had their concerns, so they didn’t start a divine war . They could only compromise and agree to each other’s conditions, signing a divine contract .
Of course, only they could hear their conversation . The outsiders didn’t know what they were discussing at all .
After signing the contract, Ghost King Bloodmoon finally said to Zhang Ruochen, “Bring the pill and alcohol old guys and go to the Heaven World with me right now . ”
Zhang Ruochen furrowed his brows . “No . I must bring all of the Sacred into the Universe World first and then leave with you . ”
“That’s impossible . I’ve already signed a divine contract with that Empress of yours,” Ghost King Bloodmoon said . “I can only save your one life . ”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were determined . “Chi Yao will never spare them if they remain in Kunlun’s Field . If I don’t send them into the Universe World, I’ll never go with you . ”
Ghost King Bloodmoon grew unhappy . “Zhang Ruochen,” she said coldly, “you should understand something . Before a deity, no mortal has any voice . You can only submit, unless you wish to die here . ”
“So what if I die? So what if I live?” Zhang Ruochen seemed indifferent .
“If you choose death, you are undoubtedly a coward . If you choose life, you at least have a fighting chance . ”
Ghost King Bloodmoon walked leisurely to Lord Mingjiang . While speaking, she flattened her jade-like hands into a flat palm and cut down on Lord Mingjiang’s neck .
“You… What are you doing? Are you forcing me?”
Zhang Ruochen roared in anger . He tightened his grip and lifted the Abyss Ancient Sword . He rushed toward Ghost King Bloodmoon .
But he only took one step before he couldn’t move anymore . He couldn’t stop Ghost King Bloodmoon at all . He could only watch as she cut off Lord Mingjiang’s head .
At that moment, Zhang Ruochen truly understood what helplessness was like . He’d never wished more for the power to fight against a god .
Ghost King Bloodmoon was very cold . She walked toward Mu Lingxi now and flattened her hand into a palm sword again .
Zhang Ruochen howled and his entire body shook . He wanted to escape from Ghost King Bloodmoon’s restraint, but he couldn’t .
Ghost King Bloodmoon’s palm didn’t fall down . She just placed it on Mu Lingxi’s neck and said indifferently, “Remember the helplessness you feel at this moment . It’s not enough to have the heart and courage to go against a god . You also need the ability .
“Before destiny, everyone is a chess piece . If you wish to live and protect your family, friends, and lover, you must make yourself stronger and become the most useful chess piece . Now, you are a pretty good chess piece to me, so you are qualified to speak with me and have my protection . ”
Ghost King Bloodmoon walked back to Lord Mingjiang and put his head back .
Lord Mingjiang instantly turned into a complete body again . Fear colored his eyes . “Greetings, true god . ”
Ghost King Bloodmoon didn’t even spare him a glance . She continued speaking to Zhang Ruochen . “Unwilling to accept this, right? There’s no helping it . This is how cruel reality is . If you don’t want to be someone else’s chess piece, you must continuously become stronger . When you’re strong enough, you might be able to jump out of the chess board and become one of the players . Now, do you choose life or death? Do you choose to be a coward or to have a fighting chance?”
Zhang Ruochen stared coldly at Ghost King Bloodmoon without speaking .
Ghost King Bloodmoon continued, “Don’t worry . Empress Chi Yao can’t kill the cultivators of Sacred Central Empire, because she must gather all the power above the Half-Saint Realm in Kunlun’s Field to do something . This is also why she wouldn’t let you bring all the Sacred cultivators into the Universe World . That is her bottom line . ”
“What is she doing?” Zhang Ruochen asked .
Ghost King Bloodmoon didn’t keep it a secret . “The same thing that I want you to do,” she answered frankly .
Zhang Ruochen finally realized that what the Moon Goddess wanted him to do was even more important than he’d expected . In that case, he had more room for negotiation .
Even if all lives were only chess pieces before a god, Zhang Ruochen still had to save the lives of the Sacred Central Empire cultivators . This was his responsibility .
