God Emperor

The legendary lion, or Suanni, was from a beast from the ancient times. According to legends, it once carried 100,000 mountains and filled the four seas. Even now, the vast surface of the western sea had a large piece of land. It was known as the Western Ni State.
Thousands of years had passed and the Suanni race had gone extinct. No one wouldâve expected the Second Prince to find a Suanni and turn its beast soul into his own battle soul.
This way, the Second Prince had taken part of the Suanniâs power and also its Fate Qi. Even if he was in the sixth level of the Half-Saint Realm, he could easily kill a seventh level Half-Saint.
Boom.
As the Second Prince stepped down, the Suanniâs shadow behind him extended a large foot. It passed through the blood cloud and struck Zhang Ruochenâs head.
It was a simple step, but it contained tumultuous saintly power. With Zhang Ruochenâs current cultivation, there was no way he could stop it. Zhang Ruochenâs feet stepped on a Luan and phoenix. He transformed into a streak and dodged to the side.
Then he flew with an even faster speed. Controlling the Abyss Ancient Sword, he struck the Second Princeâs leg.
Compared to the Second Prince, Zhang Ruochenâs biggest advantage was in speed. Thus, he had to get as close as possible to the Second Prince to get the upper hand. If he was further away, he would lose without doubt.
Zhang Ruochenâs physique and Way of Sword were all top-tier, but the Second Prince was no weakling either.
The Second Princeâs physique might not be comparable to the Five Elements Chaotic Body, but he was far above a regular Saint Body. His Way of Sword hadnât reached the Human Sword state, but he was still at the top of the Heart Integrated into Sword state. He couldnât control time or space, but he had the Suanniâs battle spirit. He could wipe out all the prides of his generation.
Zhang Ruochen was in the fourth realm of the Martial Way and had reached the Peak Realm four times. He had four more minor realms than other Monks.
However, cultivation of the Saintly Way was in the higher level and had far surpassed the Martial Way.
After reaching the Half-Saint Realm, the compound of four minor realms wasnât that much. It was as most the four steps from the middle of the second level to the later portion, then to the pinnacle and then beginning of the third level.
Thus, the distance of four realms between Zhang Ruochen and the Second Prince wasnât that easy to make up for.
The Second Prince continuously struck with palm prints, exploding with world-tossing power. Various huge claw prints appeared in the air. It was like patches of bloody clouds were flying in all directions.
Zhang Ruochen grasped his long sword and traveled between the powerful forces sent by the Second Prince. He performed beautiful sword trick after trick, dissolving the Second Princeâs bursts of power.
The Second Prince was indeed powerful, but his control over his power wasnât that precise. Around 30 percent of his power was wasted.
This didnât mean that the Second Prince had bad control over his power. After all, only a Saint could perfectly utilize 100 percent of their power. Among Half-Saints, being able to perfectly use 70 percent was already very advanced.
However, compared to Zhang Ruochen, he was much weaker.
Zhang Ruochen was different. After battling in swordsmanship with Ling Feiyu, he began working on controlling his power. He had to make sure each bit of power was used to its max.
Despite not being able to control 100 percent of his power perfectly, he was now very close to that point.
Looking up at them, Zhang Ruochen seemed very comfortable while facing the Second Princeâs attacks. Each of his attacks was graceful. It was like a young sword saint fighting an ancient beast.
In reality, he wasnât that relaxed when faced with the Second Princeâs violent attacks. The smallest mistake would end him.
The two fought for an hour. The mountain under them had long become devastated. Some places had forest fires, causing the beasts to run in fright. Sword Qi had torn through other places, leaving smooth gouges behind.
The Second Prince had revealed some flaws, but his cultivation was still too strong. Zhang Ruochen had no chance to break through. Even now, Zhang Ruochen had still not discovered an opening for him to deal a fatal blow.
âZhang Ruochenâs ability is so strong.â Pu Yuelin was extremely shocked. After all, that Vampire had easily killed King Lixian. âHeâs already fought the Vampire for an hour and he still isnât at a disadvantage.â
Zhang Ruochen was so young. How could he be stronger than King Lixian?
âNo wonder he dared to attack the Ziyong Pass,â Zhao Yue said. âHeâs probably comparable to the Nine Heirs.â
As the battle dragged on, the Second Prince grew more and more hot-headed. Heâd completely lost patience.
âThe heaven and earth spins. The nine words kill the gods.â The Second Prince opened his arms and drew a huge circle. An ancient rune of the word âmountainâ appeared in the center of the circle.
It was only a word, but it felt like a real mountain that contained burning fiery Qi. The words people created in the ancient times were all pictographic characters.
âMountainâ was a word created according to the shape of a mountain. A word like this contained very strong harmony with the ways. It pointed to the origin of all life.
If someone could combine the word âmountainâ with the rules of the world, then lifting this word was like lifting the mountains of the world.
The Nine Word God-killing Technique was a saint spell from the Suanni race. It only contained nine words, but each word contained profound knowledge. If one could cultivate any word to the extreme, they could kill a saint or god.
The Second Prince had cultivated for many years, but heâd only refined the words âmountainâ and âfireâ to the materialization state.
Before, heâd used the word âmountainâ to force an eighth level Half-Saint Vampire countless miles back. Now, his cultivation had improved a bit. The power from the Nine Word God-killing Technique was naturally stronger as well.
âZhang Ruochen, you can brag your entire life for forcing me to use the Nine Word God-killing Technique. However, our battle will end now. Your end is already destined.â
The Second Prince crossed his hands. The âmountainâ in his hands quivered. One could imagine that if he cultivated the Nine Word God-killing Technique to the peak, he could completely disturb some of the rules of the world.
The âmountainâ flew toward Zhang Ruochen. It was only a word, but it created the apparitions of thousands of mountains. No matter how Zhang Ruochen dodged, he would still be crushed.
Right now, Zhang Ruochen finally felt the might of death. It was a true and genuine feeling.
If he used the Destruction of the Thousand-patterns, he could have a chance to escape from this fatal blow. However, if he did use it, he would use up all his Holy Qi. This meant that he would later lose to the Second Prince.
Zhang Ruochen wasnât satisfied with the defeat. He was even less willing to lose to a Vampire.
The stronger he is, the more easily heâll reveal a flaw.
Zhang Ruochenâs eyes gleamed. He stood in place and instead of weakening, his aura grew stronger. It was the temperament of someone who thought he was the one and only in the world.
In the temple, Kong Lanyouâs pretty eyes were trained on Zhang Ruochen. She couldnât help but stand up. At the moment, Zhang Ruochen was too similar to Zhang Ruochen from 800 years ago.
Right now, she kind of believed that her cousin hadnât truly died.
Zhang Ruochenâs body melded with the Abyss Ancient Sword, entering the true state of the Human Sword.
Whoosh!
Immediately after, the human and sword transformed into a beam of light that rushed into the air. It darted toward the thousands of mountain apparitions.
His aura knew no end. He wouldnât retreat unless he killed his enemy.
Seeing this, the Second Prince smiled coldly. âYouâre looking for death.â
Even an eighth level Half-Saint would immediately dodge this attack and use all sorts of defense mechanisms to stop it.
The Second Prince didnât actually want to kill Zhang Ruochen with this saint spell. He just wanted to force Zhang Ruochen to use the Destruction of the Thousand-patterns. As long as he did, he would completely use the ability to fight. By then, he would be powerless before the Second Prince.
However, Zhang Ruochen didnât use the Destruction of the Thousand-patterns. If he wanted to charge headfirst, wasnât this suicide?
The Second Princeâs smile quickly froze because he didnât see the scene heâd imagined. Instead, Zhang Ruochenâs sword crashed against the âmountainâ rune. He tore apart the thousands of mountain apparitions.
In addition, dozens of tears appeared in the space as well.
Heâs combined the Way of Sword with the power of space? The Second Princeâs eyes widened in disbelief.
Yes, Zhang Ruochen had indeed added the power of space into his swordsmanship. While attacking the space, heâd also broken through the Nine Word God-killing Technique.
This was actually Zhang Ruochenâs first time doing so. He didnât have much confidence in it. Faced with the pressure from the Second Prince, he had no other choice.
Of course, the power of space wasnât that easy to control. If he wasnât careful, even he could be devoured. If he hadnât reached a shocking level of control of his power and swordsmanship after training with Ling Feiyu, he wouldnât dare to do this.
Zhang Ruochen became strong with strong opponents. Only going against these powerful enemies could he unleash unprecedented potential and break through his own limits.
After breaking through the thousands of mountain apparitions, Zhang Ruochen was already atop the Second Princeâs head. He lifted the sword with both hands. Activating the Destruction of the Thousand-patterns, he struck down with all his might.
This moment was the best chance.
Whoosh!
Black sword light connected the heaven and earth. It flew out as if it was about to cut the world in half.
