God Emperor - Chapter 797

Chapter 797: 797

Zhang Ruochen used his fastest speed and rushed to Tomb Forest’s outer area . He didn’t simply enter blindly, but opened Heavenly Eyes and checked the surroundings of the cemetery from where he stood, hundreds of miles away .

He saw numerous dead souls around the cemetery .

Most of the dead souls were in human form . They were wearing torn clothes and their hair was messy . They looked poor and their eyes emitted red light .

There were also several dead souls of huge beasts, with murderous expressions on their faces .

The beasts had beast souls and, when they died, they became dead souls .

These dead souls were coming out from the Tomb Forest non-stop . Most of them were rushing towards Yin and Yang Sect . Some were also heading in other directions like thirty-six mansions in East Divine Region and twelve mansions of East Satanic Region .

“How many dead souls are there in Tomb Forest? Was it really uncountable?”

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes expressed his worry .

When dead souls entered mansions of East Region, the first to suffer would be the normal villagers . Even a small shadow soldier could swallow the souls of all the villagers .

There were two dead souls with real physical bodies standing outside the cemetery .

Their bodies were filled with strong Ghostly Qi . One was wearing a red robe with long black hair . It was a pretty young lady . She was pale and tall, and her eyes were filled with coldness .

The other one was an armored giant with strong arms . He looked like a tall tower, standing guard over the left region of the cemetery .

There were two types of dead souls . Ghost generals and shadow soldiers .

Shadow soldiers could be differentiated into four levels, the fourth class to the first class of shadow soldier, with respect to the four levels of human warriors: warriors of Huang Realm, Xuan Realm, Earth Realm and Heavenly Realm .

Ghost generals had three types, which were evil spirits, demonic spirits and Wuchang .

Only Wuchang, which were the strongest among the ghost general types, could condense to form real physical bodies .

This meant that the girl and the warrior outside the Tomb Forest were at least of the Wuchang level .

A Wuchang was very strong and was comparable to a half-saint . They might even champion over half-saints and swallow their saint souls .

Besides Wuchang, there were still ghost kings, who could also form real physical bodies .

Ghost kings were even stronger and could fight against saints .

Zhang Ruochen didn’t know whether these were ghost kings or Wuchangs and didn’t enter blindly without a plan .

If both of them were ghost kings, Zhang Ruochen knew he might be defeated easily .

Furthermore, he was still in recovery now . He knew he should be more careful .

Zhang Ruochen took out the Void Sword and held it in his hand . The white sword shined brightly . Although the Void Sword reacted to him, the sword spirit still didn’t seem to have recovered .

After hesitating for a while, Zhang Ruochen took out the Universe Spiritual Map and activated the spatial door . Then, he went into the Scroll World .

Under the Divine Sky-connecting tree, Han Xue knelt down in front of Sword Saint Xuanji’s dead body . She put her hands on her legs and her eyes were filled with tears, but she didn’t cry out and tried her best to keep calm .

Zhang Ruochen came from afar and appeared in front of Han Xue .

Han Xue lifted her head and looked at Zhang Ruochen . She bit her lips and said, “Master, who killed grandmaster?”

Han Xue had been staying with Sword Saint Xuanji saint for quite some time . He liked her very much and had taught her many different sword techniques .

And thus, their relationship grew quickly .

Han Xue had already treated him as her own grandfather . So, when she saw Xuanji’s dead body, she couldn’t accept what had happened .

With mixed feelings, Zhang Ruochen said, “Don’t ask too much about the cause . I will take care of it . But I have to put aside these things for now . There is something serious about to happen in East Region . Thousands of people might die . ”

Although Han Xue was just a ten year old girl, she was mentally more mature than people her age .

She kept the sadness in her heart and stood up . She looked at Zhang Ruochen, “Master, what has happened?”

“I will tell you in detail later . ”

Zhang Ruochen drew out his Void Sword, and passed it to Han Xue with both hands, “From now on, I hand the Void Sword over to you . ”

Han Xue knelt on the ground, lifting her tiny face up and facing her master . “Void Sword was specially designed and used by Thousand-bone Empress . It was considered to be one of the strongest swords in Kunlun’s field . I couldn’t accept such a treasure . ”

Zhang Ruochen turned his arm and threw the Void Sword onto the ground . He turned around and looked at the Divine Sky-Connecting Tree and said, “You have the Thousand-bone Body type and are closely connected to the Void Sword . Furthermore, the case that happened in East Region is closely related to this sword, which makes this hand-over necessary . ”

Han Xue blinked once, her eyelashes fluttering open, and said, “Even if I have the Void Sword, what can I do to solve the issue in East Region?”

Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “Maybe nothing . But even if the chance is very slim, we still have to try . Stand up now, and hold the sword in your hand . ”

Han Xue stood up again and looked at the sword . She hesitated for a while . In the end, she touched the hilt of Void Sword .

Suddenly, the Void Sword emitted shiny light from its blade .

Hundreds of bits of white sword Qi exploded out towards Zhang Ruochen and produced a vibrating beeping sound .

Luckily Zhang Ruochen was prepared and quickly defended himself with his Abyss Ancient Sword .

Wham!

He dodged the attack of the Void Sword and flew away, retreating for forty miles .

However, Han Xue was standing still next to the Void Sword .

The striking sword light shined onto Han Xue and made her look extremely fair, except for her hair and eyes that were still black . She was just like an angel .

The sword Qi from the Void Sword automatically avoided attacking her and surrounded her as if it was protecting her . This was a strange yet impressive phenomenon .

After seeing it, Zhang Ruochen smiled and thought, “Han Xue is really the one that Void Sword is waiting for . I am just a passerby . ”

Witnessing the huge change, Han Xue was a little shocked and her eyes widened . She tried to remain calm and didn’t get frightened .

Zhang Ruochen said, “Han Xue, place a drop of your blood onto the sword’s surface . ”

“Okay . ”

Han Xue held the hilt of the sword tightly and lifted it up . Then, she used the sword to cut her palm lightly . A deep cut formed on her palm quickly due to the sharpness of the blade .

The Void Sword absorbed her blood and shined even more brightly .

At the same time, lines of meticulous inscriptions emerged like a spiderweb and sped towards Han Xue’s palm, forming a connection to her meridian system .

Zhang Ruochen asked, “Did you feel its sword spirit?”

Han Xue looked at Zhang Ruochen and nodded . Then, she took the Void Sword and went before Zhang Ruochen . She bowed low and said, “Thank you, master, for giving me this sword . ”

“This sword has been yours since the beginning . ”

Zhang Ruochen looked at her, feeling proud of her deep inside his heart . At this moment he understood the happiness of witnessing his own disciple growing up .

This was the selfless contribution and love given to her . It was also a type of learning and growth for himself .

Han Xue’s body type and comprehension were excellent . Her mental strength was also far better than others . With the addition of this Void Sword, she would become even better .

One can imagine her future would be very successful .

Zhang Ruochen took out Sword Saint Xuanji’s saintly source and held it in his hand . He looked at Han Xue and said, “Take this . You will get lots of benefits from refining this . ”

Han Xue took the saintly source and held it in her hands . She asked curiously, “Master, what is this?”

“This is what Grandmaster Xuanji left for you . Once you absorb it, your sword mastery will reach another level . ” Zhang Ruochen touched her head and smiled, “Consume it . Three days later we will head out to perform the big task . ”

“Okay . ”

Han Xue trusted her master and didn’t hesitate . She swallowed it immediately and sat with crossed legs on the ground . Immediately, she started refining it .

The sacred power of the saintly source was too powerful and caused Han Xue’s surroundings to start raining divine liquid . The divine liquid dripped onto her and was quickly absorbed by her body . It caused her body to be even more fairy-like .

In the next hour, Zhang Ruochen fully absorbed the pill spirit of the Withered Pill and recovered . He was back to his top form .

Furthermore, he also improved and reached the top limit of the Eighth Change of the Fish-Dragon Realm .
