God Emperor - Chapter 167

Chapter 167

The Half-Saint's Light on Lu Han's head glittered as if it were grains of a golden-light rain, which continually fell down and blended with her body .

Eventually, a faint golden light was shining on Lu Han's skin . Her pupils had also turned golden as if a blazing fire was burning in her eyes .

Moreover, every Blood Meridian and the Meridian in her body had turned golden, in which each of the inscriptions could clearly be seen .

Her breath was getting more powerful!

Zhang Ruochen held his breath and moved his body carefully, trying to seize the opportunity and escape from Haunted-mist Mountain .

Suddenly, Lu Han turned around and stared at Zhang Ruochen with her golden eyes . Her lips slight lifted, exposing two sharp teeth . She let out a creepy giggle and said, "Blood . . . fresh blood!"

Then, Lu Han's legs thrust out like a cold wind and dashed toward Zhang Ruochen .

"Phew!"

Every step Lu Han made had caused a thick layer of frost on the ground . The icy air on her body was getting denser .

Zhang Ruochen had once read an ancient booklet about the Half-Saint's Light . It stated that if a dead person integrated with the Half-Saint's Light, it required plenty of fresh blood in order to enhance the power of their bodies .

The martial cultivation of Lu Han was at the Initial Stage of the Earth Realm .

Her body was incomparable to the body of a Half-Saint . If she wanted to withstand the power of the Half-Saint's Light, she needed to absorb a large amount of blood, so she could refine her dead body .

"Waaa!"

Shortly after Zhang Ruochen transferred his Genuine Qi into the Wings of Wind, a pair of wings appeared on his back . He rushed backward at the speed of a hundred meters per second .

Behind him stood Haunted-mist Mountain .

Lu Han was chasing after Zhang Ruochen and he had nowhere to escape to, so he sprinted toward Haunted-mist Mountain .

If he hesitated for a second, his blood would have been all drawn, thus, he would have died .

Lu Han had only integrated a small part of the Half-Saint's Light rather than fully mastered its power . Therefore, her speed was just slightly faster than Zhang Ruochen's .

She trailed closely behind Zhang Ruochen and was rapidly gaining upon him .

Seeing that Lu Han was just a few steps away from him, he threw a Thunder Pearl out toward Lu Han .

"Boom!"

The Thunder Pearl cracked open and turned into strands of lightning .

Such a powerful destructive force exploded right in front of Lu Han that struck her far away .

Since she was protected by the Half-Saint's Light, the Thunder Pearl did not harm her at all . She quickly jumped up from the ground, letting out a long, aggressive roar and continued chasing after Zhang Ruochen .

Zhang Ruochen turned around and looked back . He was moaning in his heart, " I can't believe that even the power of the Thunder Pearl isn't strong enough to harm her . The Half-Saint's Light is indeed incredible . If I could obtain the Half-Saint's Light, I'm sure it'll save me 10 years of practice . "

To a certain extent, the Half-Saint's Light was equivalent to the legacy of the Half-Saints .

Even though warriors could not turn into a Half-Saint right away after absorbing the Half-Saint's Light, they could still enjoy numerous benefits . Their speed of cultivation would be far better than those at the same age .

Due to the compression of miasma at Haunted-mist Mountain, even if Zhang Ruochen possessed the Wings of Wind, he was not able to fly . He could only rush to the mountaintop as fast as he could .

While he was rushing to the hillside, he suddenly stopped . The cold sweat on his forehead dripped as if it was raining .

Around 10 meters in front of him lay a green scorpion which was more than 10 meters long with a body full of sharp thorns . It exposed its two blue eyeballs and stared deadly at Zhang Ruochen .

The Gigantic Cyan Scorpion was settling next to a pond that was around 10 meters long and wide . Along with its edge, both green and black toxicate grasses .

The water in the pond had an extremely fishy smell that emanated a strong poison . The bones of human bodies floated in the water, which looked like they had been dead for years .

When the Gigantic Cyan Scorpion caught sight of Zhang Ruochen, it was excited and exuded a weird sound .

"Waaa!"

It swayed both of its sharp claws with its tail sliding on the ground . It bumped hard into the massive stones that released a metallic sound and emitted a shower of sparks .

At the same time, Lu Han had caught up to Zhang Ruochen and was getting close to him at a high speed .

Having a toxic savage beast in front of him as well as a heretic dead body at his back, it seemed that Zhang Ruochen had nowhere to escape to .

However, Zhang Ruochen was not desperate . He took two Thunder Pearls out at the same time, throwing one out toward the Gigantic Cyan Scorpion in front of him and one toward Lu Han at his back . Then, he instantly displayed Shadow of the Royal Wind Dragon, went through a deep cliff, and escaped in another direction .

Although Lu Han was relatively unconscious, she was able to ward it off when Zhang Ruochen threw out the Thunder Pearl the second time . She turned into a shadow immediately and clambered out behind him .

Her hands had turned into claws with which she wanted to grab onto Zhang Ruochen's shoulders .

At the moment when Lu Han's claws were about to tear into Zhang Ruochen's shoulders, the space behind him distorted . Lu Han was shocked and stopped her claws in the air .

"Crash!"

Lu Han's claws had torn the clothes off of Zhang Ruochen's back and left 10 red scratches from his shoulders to his back . Drops of blood were dripping out from the claw marks .

Zhang Ruochen endured the icy cold pain on his back and continued to strike forward .

"Awoo!"

After Lu Han slightly licked the blood left on her finger, she erupted an aggressive roar and chased after it .

At the same time, the Gigantic Cyan Scorpion was diving toward Zhang Ruochen from the other direction . The Thunder Pearl he threw out earlier did not kill it but had greatly irritated it .

The Gigantic Cyan Scorpion spat out some toxic air where it condensed into a pillar-shape . It looked like a light beam and was streaking toward Zhang Ruochen .

When Zhang Ruochen was about to hide inside the Time and Space Spinel, all of a sudden, he recognized that there was a hole in the ground with an entrance that was only the size of a bowl . It looked deep and quiet as if it could access to the underground .

Zhang Ruochen's face brightened . He quickly activated his Genuine Qi and opened the internal space of the Time and Space Spinel .

"Phew!" Zhang Ruochen disappeared in Haunted-mist Mountain and entered the internal space of the Spinel within a second .

At the same time, the Time and Space Spinel fell accurately into the hole as if he were falling down into a deep abyss .

Lu Han and the Gigantic Cyan Scorpion rushed toward the hole simultaneously . However, the hole in the ground was too tiny, so neither of them could squeeze in .

"Boom!"

The Gigantic Cyan Scorpion utilized its giant claw and cracked on the hole, trying to enlarge the hole so that it could chase after Zhang Ruochen .

Such a powerful force had successfully broken down the stones around the edge of the hole . Yet, the stones had blocked the hole up .

"Blood . . . fresh blood . . . "

Lu Han stared at the massive Gigantic Cyan Scorpion . She stretched out her claws, bounced on the Gigantic Cyan Scorpion and tore off its crust . Blood gushed out from the Gigantic Cyan Scorpion's body and covered Lu Han's entire body to a bloody red .

The originally pretty, dead body suddenly turned ferociously terrifying .

. . .

Since the hole went downward vertically, Zhang Ruochen had no idea where it would lead him to .

The Time and Space Spinel had been rolling down for quite a while before finally reaching the ground .

Zhang Ruochen endured the pain on his back, transferred his Genuine Qi into the Vessel of Spirit, and stimulated his Martial Soul . With the power of his Martial Soul, Zhang Ruochen was able to peek out from the Time and Space Spinel .

With the Time and Space Spinel being the center, 80 meters around it was a patch of darkness, where no breath of life could be found at all .

"I guess I've reached the bottom of Haunted-mist Mountain . Well, it's not too bad . At least I'm safe for now . Both the Gigantic Cyan Scorpion and Lu Han cannot quickly break into such a tiny hole . "

Zhang Ruochen was not in a rush to leave the internal space of the Time and Space Spinel at all . He thought he should better heal the wounds on his back rather than go out with an injured body .

There was not a lot of Genuine Qi left in Zhang Ruochen's body . He took a healing Pill and started refining in order to recover from the injury .

Two days later, his injury was more or less healed while his Genuine Qi had returned to its peak condition .

"Waaa!"

The light of the Time and Space Spinel flashed . Zhang Ruochen left the Spinel, arriving at this underground world full of darkness .

While other places inside Chikong Secret Mansion were boiling hot, the underground of Haunted-mist Mountain was extremely cold as if it were an underground icehouse .

Zhang Ruochen picked up the Time and Space Spinel on the ground and squeezed it tightly in his hand . He smiled and exclaimed, "Luckily, I own the Time and Space Spinel . Otherwise, I would have died twice in Chikong Secret Mansion . "

However, he noticed that the Time and Space Spinel seemed to have become smaller .

"Looks like the spiritual power of the Time and Space Spinel has also been consumed . One day, it's going to be completely gobbled up . "

The Time and Space Spinel allowed Zhang Ruochen to practice three times faster than ordinary warriors, which was the advantage of Zhang Ruochen . Even if he lost the Time and Space Spinel, Zhang Ruochen was confident and determined to become a real and powerful warrior .

Zhang Ruochen stored away the Time and Space Spinel . He took out a Spiritual Crystal with fire nature from the Spatial Ring and injected Genuine Qi in it . "Phew!" The Spiritual Crystal was burning like a fireball .

The fire had lit up the dark space and revealed the complete view of the underground world . It had been covered by a natural stone wall that did not leave a trace of digging by human beings .

The stone wall and the ground had been covered by a white layer of frost where all sorts of shapes of Ice Crystals had been formed .

Zhang Ruochen stepped on the ice and strolled a hundred meters forward . Suddenly, he found a palm-sized broken piece of metal under the thick frost .

"Bang!"

He unleashed a palm out and shattered the frost . He straightened out his hand and picked up the piece of metal .

"It's really heavy! It weighs at least 250 kilograms . "

Zhang Ruochen found it incredible that a tiny piece of metal was so substantial . He wondered what material had been used to produce it .

When he looked closer at the metal piece, he noticed that there was a tiny inscription carved onto it as if it were a broken piece of armor .

He also could not imagine how massive the power must have been in order to break such powerfully built armor into pieces .

A number of inscriptions had been carved on the interior part of the metal piece . Unfortunately, the inscriptions had all been fragmented . so that there was no way for it to be activated again .

Zhang Ruochen put down the piece and kept going forward .

When he had almost reached the end of the underground, there was a 60-meter-diameter pit in front of him . The surface of the ground was hollowed out while the surrounding area was buckled up . It looked like an aerolite had fallen down, causing the natural landscape .

At the bottom of the pit lay the bones of an elderly man, whose body had been fully sealed with frost .

The armor on his body had been broken into pieces, his chest had been pierced through, and his body had fallen apart . However, the body, which had been dead for hundreds of years, was still able to emit such a dense breath that an underground frosty world was built .

Zhang Ruochen was under huge pressure . He stared at the dead body and asked, "Perhaps he is Golden Cloud Half-Saint?"

Only warriors who had reached Half-Saint possessed such a massive breath of power after they had died .

500 years had passed and still the body of Golden Cloud Half-Saint did not decay .

Looking at the dead body, Zhang Ruochen was not afraid . Rather, he was delighted that he had finally figured out how to contend with Lu Han, or even remove her Half-Saint's Light .
