God Emperor - Chapter 1447

Chapter 1447: 1447

Mu Lingxi, Luosha Princess, Qing Mo, Su Qingling, and Bu Ji all followed Zhang Ruochen toward the 99 saint mountains . An ancient mountain loomed before them . It was shaped like a turtle and radiated with a strong icy aura .

 Bu Ji gazed up at the snow that kept falling from the sky . It felt strange . After all, another mountain was spewing fire hundreds of miles away .

 One cold and one hot, they were unpredictable .

 “Will we really be able to reach the merits record wall by entering this saint mountain?” Bu Ji asked .

 “If we want to know the answer, we have to enter the mountain first . ”

 Holding the Abyss Ancient Sword, Zhang Ruochen walked at the front .

 He released his Spiritual Power and kept alert, wary of any unknown dangers .

 The ancient saint mountain was shrouded by a mysterious power . The further they went, the more densely packed the rules were . An invisible force also fell upon them, making their pressure greater and greater .

 They’d only gone 30 miles when the gravity that Zhang Ruochen felt was ten times heavier than the outside world .

 No cultivator dared to lower their guard . They followed Zhang Ruochen closely, going forward in the ice and snow .

 Su Qingling pointed somewhere halfway up the mountain and cried out, “Look, there’s an ice person . ”

 Everyone stopped and followed Su Qingling’s finger .

 The ice person was more than 50 miles away from them . However, with a Saint’s eyesight, they could see the figure’s features clearly even with the levels of icy Qi .

 It was a short and stooped elder in dazzling battle clothing . Ice sealed his entire body . He stood there without moving .

 Bu Ji’s eyes gleamed . “That’s a sect leader from a major Hell Blade Field sect . His name is Qiu Wanli . His cultivation reached the middle of the Absolute Saint Realm . I saw him once not too long ago in Zuling Field . We almost got into a fight . I didn’t think that he’d already died in this ice saint mountain . ”

 “Are you sure that’s Qiu Wanli?”

 “Yes . ”

 Bu Ji nodded firmly .

 Su Qingling had heard Qiu Wanli’s name before . She knew he was a top fighter from Hell Blade Field . Even such a powerful figure had died on this mountain . It was honestly hard to keep optimistic .

 “Qiu Wanli must not have entered the mountain alone,” Zhang Ruochen said . “It’s possible that the cultivators of Hell Blade Field have also figured out how to reach the merits record wall from here . ”

 Su Qingling nodded . “I heard long ago that White-robed Fang Yi, Heir of Hell Blade Field, is at the Whale River Territory . But no cultivator has seen him . He might have already entered the saint mountain from here . Everyone, we must be more careful . Fang Yi is an extremely scary person . Once we find him, we must avoid him . ”

 Hearing this, Princess Luosha let out a scornful laugh .

 Su Qingling was clearly annoyed with Princess Luosha . She scoffed and activated her saint soul territory . Instantly, 72 Holy Qi halos appeared, wrapping around her . She protected herself first .

 Luosha Princess looked over at Zhang Ruochen . “There’s a group of human Saints following us . Should we take care of them first?”

 Zhang Ruochen glanced back and shook his head . “Since they want to follow, just let them follow!”

 Sword Saint Jiuyou and his three disciples were following Zhang Ruochen’s group . They were around ten miles apart .

 Wang Su’s figure appeared amidst the white snow . His eyes hardened . “Master, Zhang Ruochen and that demoness seem to have discovered us . ”

 “With their cultivation, it would be even stranger if they didn’t discover us . Since they haven’t attacked, we’ll continue to follow . ” Sword Saint Jiuyou stepped forward and continued on .

 About two hours later, Zhang Ruochen’s group had walked more than 50 miles . They reached the location of the ice man .

 “Hey, where did Qiu Wanli’s corpse go? It was here earlier . How come it disappeared suddenly?”

 Qing Mo blinked and looked around .

 Even Zhang Ruochen and Princess Luosha had serious expressions . They stood in place and manipulated Spiritual Power, tentatively searching the space .

 It was clear that they’d already perceived that huge danger was approaching .

 Crackle, crackle .

 A soft sound came from under the piled snow . It was like an unknown creature was grinding its teeth .

 That sound kept changing position with incredible speed . Suddenly, it appeared under Bu Ji’s feet . Then white pincers poked out of the snow underfoot .

 At the same time, a sword clanged . Zhang Ruochen stabbed right under Bu Ji’s feet .

 Crack .

 Red blood poured out of the buildup of snow .

 Zhang Ruochen pulled the Abyss Ancient Sword out again . The blade had pierced through a white scorpion . It was probably the size of a basin . The two sharp pincers were one meter long .

 The white scorpion contained immense power . Densely-packed light flowed across the shell . It struggled violently while letting out deafening screams . The bursts of soundwaves hurt their eardrums .

 Mu Lingxi and Qing Mo had the lowest cultivation . Attacked by the soundwaves, blood flowed out of their ears . They almost fainted and fell to the ground .

 Zhang Ruochen huffed coldly . He shook his arm and cut the white scorpion in half .

 Luosha Princess rolled her eyes . “I said before that the weak aren’t qualified to befriend the strong . They’ll only be deadweight . Zhang Ruochen, let them go back . The two of us will go to the merits record wall . ”

 Su Qingling ground her teeth in anger . The saint sword in her hands trembled . She probably would’ve stabbed Luosha Princess if her abilities weren’t so terrifying .

 “What? You don’t think so?” Luosha Princess said without holding back . “At least three of you would’ve died if Zhang Ruochen hadn’t been here . What are you if you’re not weak? What are you if you’re not deadweight?”

 “Who hasn’t developed from a weak person?” Zhang Ruochen said indifferently . “Compared to Saint Kings, which one of us isn’t weak?”

 He walked to the corpse of the white scorpion and lifted the shell with his sword tip . After searching, he furrowed his brows . “Strange . This scorpion is so strong, but how come there’s no saint source?”

 “That’s the Pluto Ice Jade Scorpion . ”

 Su Qingling was very knowledgeable and knew the white scorpion’s background . She continued, “In legends, the Pluto Ice Jade Scorpion was born from the Pluto Winter Water . They can cultivate the Power of Pluto Ice inside their bodies . Mature scorpions are very strong and can even fight with half-step Saint Kings . ”

 Saint Kings mainly cultivated the Rules of Saintly Way, so it was hard to really define different levels . Usually, one needed a special tool to test a Saint King’s level .

 In Kunlun’s Field, there was the Emperor Divine Ruler .

 In the Heaven World, people used the Nine Steps to the Sky Path to measure a Saint King’s level . Thus, it divided Saint Kings into nine levels . Each step they could take on the path was one level .

 The Saint King’s first step, second step, third step…

 The ninth step was the peak level . If a cultivator could take steps on the path, it was clear that they’d entered the Supreme Saint Realm . They could call themselves an emperor in a major world .

 As for half-step Saint Kings, they weren’t true Saint Kings because their Rules of Saintly Way weren’t strong enough . They were above the Saints but not at the Saint King Realm yet .

 Even so, half-step Saint Kings were still much stronger than Absolute Saints .

 The scorpion that Zhang Ruochen had killed wasn’t mature yet . It hadn’t reached the half-step Saint King level yet .

 “Look, Wan Qiuli’s head is inside the Pluto Ice Jade Scorpion,” Bu Ji said . “It hasn’t been digested fully yet . ”

 There was half of a bloody head inside the scorpion’s corpse .

 Zhang Ruochen continued staring at the Pluto Ice Jade Scorpion’s corpse . He squatted down and extended a finger, placing it on the white shell . “There’s the aura of Ning True Saint Dew inside its body . Also… It must ingest Ning True Saint Dew frequently . Could it be that a great amount of dew is hidden somewhere in this mountain?”

 “That’s not impossible,” Luosha Princess said . “You should know that a near-god is buried in the 99 saint mountains . Every mountain in the outside must contain a treasure . However, opportunities and danger exist together . The more treasures there are, the more dangerous it is . ”

 Right now, Zhang Ruochen had around 2,000 drops of Ning True Saint Dew . It wasn’t enough to reach the middle of the True Saint Realm . Thus, if there really were large amounts of Ning True Saint Dew in this mountain, it would definitely be tempting for him .

 The others’ eyes all blazed as well . If they could receive large amounts of Ning True Saint Dew, they would definitely have breakthroughs quickly . By then, would Luosha Princess still mock them for being weak?

 Face red, Bu Ji said impatiently, “Then what are we still waiting for? Let’s hurry and go . The Saints of the Hell Blade Field may be ahead of us . If we’re late, there won’t be any Ning True Saint Dew left for us . ”

 The nine-headed bird behind Luosha Princess also let out strange cries . It seemed to want the Ning True Saint Dew too . That bird was only in the middle of the Absolute Saint Realm and still had a lot of room for improvement .

 Everyone picked up their pace . They continued forward and soon entered the heart of the saint mountain . They were halfway up .

 The gravity was even stronger here—100 times higher than the outside world . Even with their strong cultivation, they still felt a bit of pressure .

 Here, they found the corpse of an adult Pluto Ice Jade Scorpion . It was very large—at least four or five times larger than the one they had encountered earlier .

 “An adult Pluto Ice Jade Scorpion is able to fight with a half-step Saint King . Whoever killed it must have been an abominable figure . ” Mu Lingxi gasped .

 Zhang Ruochen reached out to check the scorpion’s injuries .

 A beam of Broadsword Qi spread from the injury . It sliced Zhang Ruochen’s finger, leaving a shallow cut .

 “Such strong Qi . Even the remnant power can cut through my physical defense . ”

 Zhang Ruochen was shocked inwardly . Then he stood up and looked forward, saying to everyone, “This adult scorpion was killed an hour ago . We’re already very close to the cultivators of Hell Blade Field .

 “Also, I discovered even heavier Ning True Saint Dew aura in this adult scorpion . It’s evident that there may really be a large amount of dew in this mountain . ”
