God Emperor chapter 2096 - self-destruction | English Novels Online

Spending their blood to drive the Golden Crow Ancient Cauldron, the faces of the Jinyang Twin Kings looked pale, their energy dwindling.

Both of them were staring deadly at the Zangshan Demonic Mirror in Zhang Ruochen’s hand.

They thought they could easily kill Zhang Ruochen by gathering a thousand cultivators. But they could not be more wrong. Zhang Ruochen was too shrewd and turned on them after seeing through their plot.

They turned to look at Elder Patriarch Death Zen with fear in their eyes as Elder Patriarch Death Zen single-handedly controlled hundreds of powerful war corpses

If there was any mistake in the plan, it would be their mistake to get Elder Patriarch Death Zen involved. Things would not have come to such a pass otherwise.

“Are you two still trying to get away when things have come to such a pass, Jinyang Twin Kings?”

Zhang Ruochen took a step forward with the Golden Sun of Destruction in his hands.

Blackie’s body rapidly expanded, with Eternal Fire rising from its body. It looked down on the Jinyang Twin Kings with a ruthless look in the eyes. “You two had your chance before. Unfortunately, you squandered it. Now, surrender. Or else, I will devour not only the Yuanhui Tribulation sacred herb but also you two.”

Blackie could travel a hundred miles in the blink of an eye. Now that they had the absolute upper hand, no way could the Jinyang Twin Kings get away.

Regret filled the Jinyang Twin Kings. They lost this battle on their own fault.

Hiding in the small forest world had been a mistake. They had dug their own graves by giving Zhang Ruochen a chance to flush them out at once.

A look of resoluteness flashed in King Dayang’s eyes as he swept his gaze over Zhang Ruochen and three others. “Zhang Ruochen, you all are good. I underestimated you guys. But don’t dream of capturing us. That’s impossible.”

King Dayang made a seal gesture as he spoke. Mysterious patterns appeared on his skin, and there was a burst of golden light as his body went up in golden flames.

The next moment, King Dayang vanished, replaced by a rising golden sun that put out an extremely intense energy.

Scorched by the extreme heat, rocks in the surroundings rapidly melted. A vast pool of lava soon formed.

Meanwhile, King Xiaoyang put away the Golden Crow Ancient Cauldron, and without no hesitation, he fled.

“Where are you going?”

Blackie shouted, flapping its wings to give chase.

Blackie had not summoned the Supreme Power, but it was still incredibly powerful and quick.

It did not choose to fight King Dayang, who had now transformed into a golden sun, but went straight after King Xiaoyang.

Everyone knew that King Dayang was buying time for King Xiaoyang to escape.

The golden sun, embodied by King Dayang, was vibrating. It reacted quicker than Blackie could move. It stood in Blackie’s way and unleashed a powerful golden saint power that was hot enough to melt everything in its path.

Pow!

Blackie ran it with no fear, but was brutally forced back by this saint power.

Just then, Zhang Ruochen had made his move. He cast out the Golden Sun of Destruction, triggering its destructive energy to strike at King Dayang.

“Lay down your weapon and repent.” Elder Patriarch Death Zen looked solemn, with a hint of compassion in his eyes.

The god war corpse roared, gathering the power of all the war corpses. As it reached out a hand, a massive amount of divine power surged and formed into a tide that swept toward King Xiaoyang, who was running for his life.

“If you want to fight, fight me.” King Dayang bellowed with a hint of madness in his voice.

More violent energy sprayed out from the golden sun transformed from King Dayang, shaking the surrounding dimension to pieces.

In this way, the ripples of divine power unleashed by the god war corpse were cut off and swallowed by the dimension of nothingness.

Pow!

The Golden Sun of Destruction dimmed as it was stopped and sent flying backwards.

Blackie was the closest. Bearing the brunt of the impact, the violent force blew it away.

“What is going on? How could he become so powerful?” Blackie’s expression changed.

The strength displayed by King Dayang right now was much more impressive than when he and King Xiaoyang joined hands. He could clash head on with the Golden Sun of Destruction, without the help of the Golden Crow Ancient Cauldron, and this was not normal at all.

“It is a Solar Self-Destruction Knack! Does King Dayang plan to kill himself and bring all of us along?”

On the hill, shrouded in illusion, the expression Maiden of a Thousand Stars changed.

The Thousand-Star Civilization and the Sunshine Civilization were allies, and so she knew some of the secret techniques of the Sunshine civilization well.

The Solar Self-Destruction Knack was a forbidden secret technique of the Sunshine Civilization. It was extremely difficult to practice, and few people could master it successfully.

Using Solar Self-Destruction Knack was harmful to vitality and cultivation base and even caused death. No one would use this secret technique except as a last resort.

The use of a Solar Self-Destruction Knack by King Dayang surprised Maiden of a Thousand Stars. Was King Dayang planning to kill himself?

“Sunshine Tianzi has been killed by Zhang Ruochen. If King Dayang also dies because of him, there is no telling how enraged the elder Tianzhu of the Sunshine Civilization will be. He will surely launch a crusade of vengeance. I can see big trouble ahead.” An elder of the Thousand-Star Civilization shook his head.

Few people—not even in the Sunshine Civilization—knew that Jinyang Twin Kings possessed Shared Life ability.

Therefore, in this case, anyone would think that King Dayang would surely die.

Maiden of a Thousand Stars’s brows furrowed. She had never expected for things to come to such a pass. It was impossible for her to intervene now.

“What is the point?” She sighed softly.

The Sunshine Civilization had lost face this time. Its Tianzi was killed, and a large number of its cultivators were captured. It would become the laughingstock when news spread.

As King Xiaoyang was about to get away, Zhang Ruochen knew he had to do something. He immediately mobilized the Precepts of Dimension in his body to form a blade of dimensional force.

The blade was unstoppable and instantly cut open a huge rift.

Even with the protection of the saint power, the peerless blade still hit the golden sun of King Dayang.

The golden sun instantly dimmed, its energy declining.

“Suppress it!”

Blackie stepped forward, forming an Eternal Fire to suppress the golden sun.

Just then, the golden sun burst into light again, its energy soaring.

Pow!

Blackie was blown away before it could do anything.

“No one can suppress me. You all have to die.” King Dayang said in a bitter voice.

The golden sun revolved as it unleashed a world-destructive energy, almost as if it was a Supreme Artifact.

Baroom!

The surrounding dimension shattered at once, and it could not recover even after a long while.

Immediately afterwards, the golden sun cut through the sky like a meteor, hitting Zhang Ruochen and the others at extreme speed.

A destructive energy emanating from the golden sun struck fear in everyone.

“This lunatic is going to blow himself up.” Blackie was wide-eyed.

The more powerful a cultivator, the more the cultivator cherishes his life. Once detonating the sainthood source, it crosses the Rubicon. Few possessed his courage.

With King Dayang’s strength, the self-destruction of his sainthood source was fatal to even Supreme Saints.

The crazy action of King Dayang had frightened Blackie.

“Let’s work together to stop him,” said Zhang Ruochen in a low voice.

It was too late to suppress King Dayang, so they could only find a way to stop him. Otherwise, they would be in big trouble.

While speaking, Zhang Ruochen was mobilizing the Precepts of Dimension, performing a dimensional storm to cover the golden sun.

At the same time, huge dimensional rifts appeared, trying to swallow the golden sun in.

Blackie immediately rearranged the array, not for attack but defense.

Elder Patriarch Death Zen and Corpse Emperor of Tianming did not stand by idly. One used the god war corpse to attack, while the other cast out the Talisman of Destiny.

Despite the four of them performing various techniques, they still failed to stop King Dayang from self-destructing.

From ten miles away, the golden sun of King Dayang swelled with an intense glow before exploding.

Bwoom!

A destructive force was released, forming a golden storm that swept out in all directions.

As out-of-this-world as True Dragon Island was, the devastating storm that raged across the island had destroyed the land and rocks within a radius of hundreds of miles, with a large area of the ground sinking.

“King Dayang is absolutely ruthless! I can’t believe he has chosen to blow up his sainthood source.”

The six elders of Thousand-Star Civilization spontaneously gasped in horror.

Fortunately, they were far away from that area, so they had not been affected. Otherwise, it would have been a disaster.

Maiden of a Thousand Stars cast her eyes in the direction where King Xiaoyang fled. She could not locate him, even though she was using her Divine Eye of Origin.

No matter, King Dayang had achieved his goal, and Zhang Ruochen and others could no longer catch King Xiaoyang.

It was just that, doing so, he had paid the ultimate price.

The terrifying storm of destruction gradually subsided only after a long while.

Zhang Ruochen and three others were safe inside the array.

Of course, they had the protection of the Golden Sun of Destruction and the Talisman of Destiny. Otherwise, even Blackie’s Ninth Stratum Array might not have withstood the blast.

Seeing the devastation in the surroundings, Zhang Ruochen and the others could not be more shocked. The self-destruction of the top Saint King was indeed terrifying.

“One died, one got away. It is all for nothing.” Blackie’s mouth twitched.

Blackie was obviously not too happy with this outcome. The plan was to suppress the Jinyang Twin Kings and take their Golden Crow Ancient Cauldron.

But now King Dayang had blown himself to death, while King Xiaoyang had escaped without a trace. The plan was ruined.

“Even I underestimated King Dayang. This person was ruthless. He would rather die than be captured. He was really a terrible opponent,” said Zhang Ruochen.

Something came to Blackie’s mind. “Take out the Wuyuan Royal Flower, hurry. Let me get a taste of it. I haven’t eaten a Yuanhui Tribulation sacred herb for a long time. I miss the taste.”

The eyes of Elder Patriarch Death Zen and Corpse Emperor Tianming lit up spontaneously.

Especially Elder Patriarch Death Zen, who had refined a petal before, knew the value of the Wuyuan Royal Flower best.

They had suppressed so many cultivators of the Sunshine Civilization, and that was the joint effort of everyone. Zhang Ruochen never thought of keeping the loot to himself.

He injected his saint Qi into the Zangshan Demonic Mirror and penetrated into the small forest world.

Suppressed by the Zangshan Demonic Mirror, the Sunshine Civilization cultivators could cause no trouble, no matter how powerful they were.

Not long after, a five-color saint light flew out of the Zangshan Demonic Mirror and turned into Saint King Wuyuan.

Right now, Saint King Wuyuan’s strength had been restricted. She was now defenseless.

“What do you want to do?” Saint King Wuyuan looked wary.

“Yuanhui Tribulation sacred herb, just listen to what I say. Or else, I might accidentally eat your stalk.” Blackie chuckled.

Saint King Wuyuan looked in horror. “You… you all are psychos!”

Losing one or two petals would do her not much harm.

But if all the petals were taken off, Saint King Wuyuan would be reverted to her original form, and she might not recover even after a thousand years.

Zhang Ruochen did not look like he would show her any mercy. He performed a technique and turned Saint King Wuyuan into her original form.

Everyone’s eyes flashed in delight at seeing the beautiful Wuyuan Royal Flower.

This was none other than the Yuanhui Tribulation sacred herb, a single petal of which could increase the number of Precepts by a million. If all the petals are to be refined, the increase of the number of Precepts would be 25 million.

Such a number of Precepts was more than enough to propel a One-Step Saint King to become a top Heaven’s Reach cultivator.

If it was a Nine-Step Saint King cultivator of the Lesser Precept World, the cultivator would rise to Path’s Anterior realm.

With the wave of a hand, Zhang Ruochen plucked two flowers—one intact and one missing a petal.

“Death Zen, Corpse Emperor, thank you for your help. This is what you deserve.”

While speaking, Zhang Ruochen handed out the two Wuyuan Royal Flowers to them, one each.

The one flower with a missing petal was given to Elder Patriarch Death Zen.

Elder Patriarch Death Zen said nothing, but took it in his hands. The situation had been so dangerous that they were almost ambushed by the Sunshine Civilization, and he naturally did not want to demand more than he deserved.

After getting the Wuyuan Royal Flower, Elder Patriarch Death Zen and Corpse Emperor Tianming wasted no time finding a quiet place to refine the flowers.

“What about me, Zhang Ruochen?” asked Blackie with an expectant look.

“You don’t need the Wuyuan Royal Flower at all. Refining it will be a waste,” said Zhang Ruochen nonchalantly.

Blackie became desperate. “No way. I have been fighting so hard for this. I have got to get a taste of the Yuanhui Tribulation sacred herb.”

Seeing Blackie’s serious look, Zhang Ruochen could not help but pick off a petal. “Here you go.”

“Just one petal?” Blackie was obviously not too happy.

“Return it to me if you don’t want it,” said Zhang Ruochen in a huff.

Blackie immediately stuffed the petal into its mouth, as if for fear that Zhang Ruochen might take it back from it.

Ignoring Blackie, Zhang Ruochen looked at the remaining three Wuyuan Royal Flowers, which had fourteen petals in total. These would add another 14 million Precepts, enough for him to make it to the Path’s Anterior realm.

True Dragon Island was a dangerous place, and powerful enemies were aplenty. It was necessary to increase his strength some more.

Zhang Ruochen picked off a petal, put it directly in his mouth, and performed an Empyrean Emperor Ming’s Scripture to start refining the flower.

The Wuyuan Royal Flower was mild and easy to refine.

Just like what Elder Patriarch Death Zen experienced, he had finished refining the petal in just a short time.

His Heavenly Stream expanded, the number of Precepts increasing by a million.

“This thing is not called the Yuanhui Tribulation sacred herb for nothing. My number of Precepts has hit twenty-two million. If I further refine eight more petals, my cultivation base will break through into the Path’s Anterior.” There was an expectant look in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes.

Without hesitation, he picked off another right petals and swallowed them at once.

His physique was powerful enough to withstand the efficacy of eight petals.

“Cover me, Blackie.”

After saying that, he sat down with his legs crossed.

Next, he was devoting himself to self-cultivation, trying to make it to the Path’s Anterior realm in one fell swoop.
