God Emperor - Chapter 808

Chapter 808: 808

A Flood Dragon Pearl’s value was comparable to a Half-Saint’s Light . It was even easier to absorb .

If the Flood Dragon Pearl was refined completely, it could give a great boost to his cultivation .

Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes . The fifth level of the Emperor Ming Nine-sky Scripture emerged in his mind . He raised his hands slowly .

As the technique went on, two small vortices appeared in his palms . They continuously absorbed the power radiating from the Flood Dragon Pearl into the Yangwei Saintly Meridian and Yinwei Saintly Meridian .

When the Flood Dragon Pearl’s power entered the Saint Meridians, it immediately gathered in the Sea of Qi .

Then that gust of power rushed out of the Sea of Qi . It entered the 36 meridians, flowing to different parts of his body . After circulating throughout his body, it gathered below his navel, connecting with the Developing Xuan Embryo .

During this process, Zhang Ruochen discovered with a shock that the 36 meridians kept widening and becoming sturdier . Evidently, this was the power of the Developing Xuan Embryo .

The so-called Developing Xuan Embryo was actually the vortex below his navel . This was formed after cultivating the “Xuan Embryo Devil Sky,” the fifth level of the Emperor Ming Nine-sky Scripture, to a certain level .

When the Xuan Embryo developed fully, the vortex would evolve into something like the Sea of Qi . It would help Monks store Holy Qi .

After all, the more Holy Qi a Monk had, the more powerful his martial techniques could be . He wouldn’t feel drained either .

For example, a Monk in the Ninth Change of the Fish-Dragon Realm would use up at least 20% of his Holy Qi to cast a superior-class Ghost Level martial technique . He would use up most of his Holy Qi for a Consummate Skill .

But Zhang Ruochen was rarely drained because he’d reached the Peak Realm four times . His Sea of Qi already surpassed the other Monks . Even if he fought for ten days and ten nights straight, he wouldn’t feel exhausted .

However, like other Monks, he couldn’t use King Level martial techniques in the Fish-Dragon Realm or even before the sixth level of the Half-Saint Realm . These were also known as Saint Spells .

This was because his meridians were too weak for the power of Saint Spells .

It was different now . His meridians were expanding and widening quickly .

What was the difference between meridians and Saintly Meridians? If one compared meridians to capillaries, then the Saintly Meridian was like the aorta .

Meridians were the network used to move True Qi for martial artists in the Huang Realm . When True Qi flowed through the meridians, it could help martial artists perform the techniques . It also filled their flesh, bones, and organs, strengthening their physical bodies .

However, meridians were extremely fragile . They could only withstand True Qi and very thin Saintly Qi . If a Monk utilized a great amount of Saintly Qi through the meridians, the meridians would burst .

This was why very few martial artists in the Heavenly Realm could perform complete Ghost Realm martial techniques . In addition, the True Qi of the Heavenly Realm couldn’t support those techniques .

There was also a bigger reason . Most martial artists in the Heavenly Realm didn’t have meridians strong enough to withstand such intense speed of transporting True Qi .

Thus, a Monk would develop Saintly Meridians when they reached the Fourth Change of the Fish-Dragon Realm . Only Saintly Meridians could withstand large amounts of Holy Qi and perform Ghost Realm martial techniques at will .

One month later .

Zhang Ruochen completed refining the Flood Dragon Pearl . His cultivation reached the peak of the Ninth Change .

What made him even happier was that the Xuan Embryo below his navel was already developed . It formed a second Sea of Qi . The Holy Qi stored in the Xuan Embryo was comparable to the amount in his Sea of Qi .

Furthermore, the 36 meridians had doubled in width . They’d become very resilient .

If Zhang Ruochen activated his Holy Qi now, his body would rumble as if it had dozens of rivers flowing within . Thankfully, there was a lot of Holy Qi stored inside his Sea of Qi and Xuan Embryo . He didn’t have to worry about using it all up .

The power that burst from the same technique now far surpassed the past . Imagine a car for a simple metaphor . In the past, you could only use 100 pounds of power to push it because of your physical restrictions . Now, you could muster 200 pounds to push the same car .

Because it received different amounts of power, the car’s speed would be completely different too .

I’ve finally completed the fifth level and formed my Xuan Embryo . The 36 meridians have doubled in width . They’re one-fifth the size of a Saintly Meridian now . I can totally call them “36 Quasi-Saintly Meridians . ”

Now, he wouldn’t feel bloated even if he moved Holy Qi through the 36 meridians at full force .

What level can my most powerful attack reach with my current cultivation?

Thinking of this, Zhang Ruochen couldn’t wait anymore . He pulled out the Taotian Sword . Releasing Holy Qi, he grasped it in his hands .

The Taotian Sword was 27th on the Thousand-Pattern Saint Weapon List . It contained 8,989 inscriptions . In addition to basic and intermediate inscriptions, there were also 12 advanced inscriptions .

One must be clear that when the Abyss Ancient Sword absorbed a saint weapon, only one or two intermediate inscriptions would be added, along with a dozen basic inscriptions .

As for advanced inscriptions… Actually, inscriptions belonged to the principles of the Saintly Way . Only very powerful Spiritual Power Saints could engrave them .

Thus, even though the Taotian Sword was only a Thousand-Pattern Saint Weapon, it could unleash power equal to that of a Ten Thousand-Pattern Saint Weapon .

Zhang Ruochen started performing the technique . The Holy Qi in his Sea of Qi and Xuan Embryo instantly started tossing . They entered the 5 Saintly Meridians and 36 meridians, flooding out of his palms and into the Taotian Sword .

Whoosh—

Various inscriptions emerged on the Taotian Sword’s surface, making the blade brighter and brighter . In the end, the light that shone from the sword was actually so bright Zhang Ruochen couldn’t keep his eyes open .

A moment later, the Taotian Sword’s sword spirit melded into the inscriptions . It flew into the sky, forming powerful saintly might . It burst out without holding back, sweeping hundreds of miles in the air .

Everyone in the scroll world was shocked by this moment .

Mu Lingxi had been refining the Saintly Source and comprehending principles of the Saintly Way . Sensing the powerful destructive ability from the distance, she immediately woke up .

Looking at the white ball of light flying in the air, she was deeply impressed . “What’s going on?” she asked curiously . “Did Zhang Ruochen reach the Half-Saint Realm? No, even the aura of a third level Half-Saint isn’t that powerful . ”

At the same time, the Void Sword on Han Xue’s back started trembling quickly . If she hadn’t controlled it immediately, it might have flown out already .

The Taotian Sword was honestly too strong . With Zhang Ruochen’s current cultivation, he couldn’t control it at all . The Sword Qi that burst forth even hit himself . It pierced his shoulder, leaving a bloody hole the size of a teacup .

Zhang Ruochen immediately retraced his Holy Qi . He didn’t dare to continue running the Taotian Sword . Without the support of Holy Qi, the Taotian Sword gradually dimmed and fell from the sky .

Zhang Ruochen grasped the hilt and glanced at his shoulder wound . Activating Holy Qi, he sealed the veins at the wound .

Merely activating the sword spirit and inscriptions could create such terrifying power . No wonder it’s 27th on the Thousand-pattern Saint Weapon List . Unfortunately, my cultivation is far from being able to control it . If I forcefully activate it, it’s highly possible I’ll be gravely injured too .

Zhang Ruochen made a quick estimation . With his current cultivation, he could fight with Jialuo Yuan at his strongest state, even face-to-face .

Earlier, he’d used the sword of time to kill Jialuo Yuan . He’d won by being unexpected . If Jialuo Yuan had known that Zhang Ruochen was the Time and Space Descendant and had been prepared, it wouldn’t have been that easy .

During the past month, in addition to refining a drop of divine blood, he’d also raised his cultivation to the second half of the Ninth Change . He’d also completed the fifth level of the Emperor Ming Nine-sky Scripture . His abilities had reached a whole new height .

Right now, he could even fight an average third level Half-Saint . He was only in the Ninth Change, but he could fight a third level Half-Saint . If this news spread, it was likely that no one would believe it .

Because even a Saint Body in the Ninth Change of the Fish-Dragon Realm couldn’t compare with a first level Half-Saint, let alone a third level .

Even the nine Heirs weren’t this powerful in the Fish-Dragon Realm .

If I activate the Taotian Sword’s power, Zhang Ruochen thought, I can probably defeat someone above the third level of the Half-Saint Realm .

The Taotian Sword could only be used as a hidden trump card . It was best if he didn’t use it unless he had no other choice . If he lost control, he would hurt himself and the people around him .

Zhang Ruochen felt like he still had potential . He could cultivate to an even stronger state . Thus, he didn’t rush toward the Half-Saint Realm .

Maybe I can try for the Divine Life Chart, the legendary Tenth Change of the Fish-Dragon Realm .

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes grew determined . They glowed brightly . No matter what, he had to try .

He’d already refined five drops of divine blood . With his current state, it wasn’t hard to refine a sixth drop . As for a seventh drop, it wouldn’t be that simple .

Of course, his biggest concern now was how he could get the sixth and seventh drops of divine blood .

Just then, Zhang Ruochen thought of the evil monks of the Death Zen Sect . Would the other monks carry divine blood too?

One month had passed in the scroll world . It had only been three days in the outside world .

The battle between the Wuchangs and Death Zen Sect was probably over now . With this in mind, Zhang Ruochen exited the scroll world alone, ready to investigate the situation outside .
