Chapter 2310: Intergold Tiger
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After 62 times of turning into gold, Zhang Ruochen had broken the 14th shackle. His spiritual power had reached the late stage of the 64th level, and he now had eighty thousand Spirits.
Zhang Ruochen’s body seemed to have absorbed too much mysterious power of metal properties. The Golden Mist was influencing him lesser over time.
Even if he stood in the Golden Mist for an hour, his skin showed no signs of turning into gold.
Later, Zhang Ruochen directly entered the golden water region and immersed himself in it. Finally, he could affect his body again. However, after more than ten times the process of turning into gold, his body was completely immune.
It was amazing. Zhang Ruochen would have died without a doubt if he had touched the golden water a few days ago.
But now, Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t even be affected if he swam freely in it.
Sitting on the Gourd, Zhang Ruochen spread his hands. Golden Light appeared on each fingerprint, and every pore turned into golden light spots.
Under his skin, the muscle lines tuned golden, and golden threads appeared in his bones.
Even his pupils had a layer of golden edges.
His hair was still black. But when it swayed in the wind, it would shine with golden light.
His Five-element Chaotic Neverwither Physique had undergone a huge change.
“The Precept of Five-elements, Path of Gold in sea of Qi have greatly increased. It’s time to merge the Golden Body Saintwill with Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill. In this way, the level of Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill will become real Grade two Saintwill, not an ordinary one.”
Zhang Ruochen had long cultivated Gold Saintwill, Fire Saintwill, and Earth Saintwill with the help of the esoteric mark he had obtained from Wargod Bloodximius.
Together with Fist Saintwill, Palm Saintwill, Water Saintwill, and Wood Saintwill which had been integrated into one, Zhang Ruochen had cultivated seven Saintwills in total.
Entering Violet Gourd and sitting cross-legged on the surface of the Golden Sun of Destruction, Zhang Ruochen mobilized the Precepts of Five-elements, Path of Gold to activate the Golden Body Saintwill.
Whoosh —
The Golden Body Saintwill instantly merged with his body. Zhang Ruochen’s body turned golden and emitted boundless light.
Zhang Ruochen had cultivated Nine-tremors Saintwill, Heavenly Stream Saintwill, and so on, but the Golden Body Saintwill was completely different from them. It was a type of defensive Saintwill that could strengthen one’s power at the same time.
“yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill.”
Zhang Ruochen formed a seal with his hands and slowly lifted them.
The Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill, which contained Fist Saintwill, Palm Saintwill, Water Saintwill, and Wood Saintwill appeared. A Heavenly Stream wrapped in a blood-red sun spun above his head.
“All Saintwills unite, Five-elements as one.”
Under Zhang Ruochen’s guidance, the abnormal image of Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill slowly descended and collided with his body.
Boom!
With the current strength of Zhang Ruochen’s body, he still felt as if he had been hit hard. It was like all the bones in his body were about to be shattered.
It was not an illusion. His body could really explode and die.
If he had not absorbed a large amount of the metal properties’ mysterious power, broken through 14 shackles, and released a large amount of the power of Demigod-level physique, Zhang Ruochen suspected that he would not be able to withstand the first wave of impact.
This was the first time he truly felt how dangerous it was to fuse with Saintwills.
“According to Divine Sky-connecting Tree, fusing five types of Saintwill is the limit of a cultivator. Furthermore, there are very few cultivators who can successfully fuse five types of Saintwill. There was only one person who succeeded in fusing five types of Saintwill.
“What I’m going to do now is to surpass my predecessors. I have to grit my teeth and persevere. If I can’t fuse the fifth, how can I fuse the sixth and seventh?”
Zhang Ruochen felt that he could do it with the fortuitous encounter he had obtained here.
Rumble
The process of Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill attacking his body was like Zhang Ruochen attacking himself with the power of Saintwill. It was much more difficult than he had imagined.
After three breaths only, Zhang Ruochen was heavily injured, All Saintwill dispersed and he spat out a mouthful of Saint blood.
“Again.”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were sharp. Without any hesitation, he immediately began the second fusion.
“PFFT.”
Amoment later, he spat out another mouthful of saint blood.
“Again.”
He failed repeatedly, but he also recovered over and over again.
It was as if Zhang Ruochen was challenging the limits of his body. After 17 tries, the power of Saintwill penetrated his powerful body. Cracks like ceramic appeared on his skin, his muscles showed signs of breaking, and some of his bones began to break.
Hold on, hold on.
Zhang Ruochen could hold on for 15 minutes. As long as he continued to hold on, the Golden Body Saintwill would merge with Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill and become a higher level of Saintwill.
Crack
Some internal organs were broken in his abdomen.
The bones above his head were sunken.
Intense pain came from all parts of his body. Even the transformation process of gold and flesh was far less torturous than this moment.
His life was under an unprecedented threat. If he continued to persevere, he might succeed, but there was also a high possibility that he would die experimenting on himself.
“To fight against long odds is either to succeed or die. The nature of the Five-elements should not be fighting head-on. Instead, they should restrain and generate each other. In the continuous cycle, all the contradictions will be resolved.”
Zhang Ruochen seemed to have thought it through. He suddenly opened his eyes while remaining in the cross-legged position. He used spiritual power to move his broken body and flew out of the Gourd.
Forcing the Golden Body Saintwill to merge with Yin-Yang Five-Element after using the power of the Golden Sun of Destruction was obviously not the best idea.
If he could think another way, he might be able to get an unexpected result.
splash
Zhang Ruochen’s body fell into the golden water region.
Soon, his body was covered by the golden liquid. His mouth and nose were sealed, and his pores were closed. He sank deep into the water.
The pain caused by Saintwill gradually disappeared, and the injuries on his body slowly healed.
Zhang Ruochen was overjoyed. He understood that this was a sign that Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill will merge with the Golden Body Saintwill. It was Water Saintwill and Wood Saintwill of Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill that were repairing the golden body.
Zhang Ruochen was completely relieved. He fully understood the mystery of the Saintwills merging process.
Half a day later, the Five Saintwills merged into one. A stronger Grade two Saintwill was born. The golden light on Zhang Ruochen’s body became brighter. The golden water around him turned into a chaotic whirlpool and kept spinning.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen had a very mysterious feeling. It was as if he had become the incarnation of Heaven and Earth. He could give birth to everything and change the nature of everything with one thought.
However, this feeling only lasted for a moment before it disappeared.
“Could that feeling just now be the legendary mortal way of communicating with Deva Path? The two paths into one?”
Zhang Ruochen was shocked to find that he resonated with Heaven and Earth in a short instant. The number of Precepts in Heavenly Stream inside his sea of Qi had increased by one billion.
One had to know that cultivating Precepts was something that all Supreme Saints had to do.
In addition, a Supreme Saint from Hundred-Shackle Realm also had to cultivate Precepts to break the shackles on one’s body. Only when there were enough Precepts would it be more helpful to break the shackles.
Now, he had 2.8 billion Precepts in his body.
“That state just now was too amazing. In just an instant, it was equivalent to eating Ampliofruit and increasing one billion Precepts. If it could last longer, wouldn’t there be more Precepts?”
Zhang Ruochen thought to himself. Maybe after merging the sixth and seventh Saintwills, he would be able to resonate with Heaven and Earth again.
“I didn’t expect the first cultivator to merge with Apex Intergold Qi to be an Immortal Vampire. Wait, you have human blood in your body. The descendants of humans and Immortal Vampires, that’s interesting.”
A vast and illusory voice suddenly resonated in Zhang Ruochen’s ears.
“Who is that? Who’s speaking?”
Zhang Ruochen was shocked. There was still a living creature at the bottom of the Golden Water region?
He opened his eyes and looked forward. He saw a vast golden world in front of him. In the distance, there was a white sacred mountain.
Even though he was far away, Zhang Ruochen felt a huge pressure on the sacred mountain. His heart pounded violently.
Crash.
The white sacred mountain shook and lifted its huge head.
Only at this moment did Zhang Ruochen realize that it was not a sacred mountain, but a white tiger lying on the ground. The huge white tiger’s head filled Zhang Ruochen’s field of vision.
A pair of golden eyes like two stars was very penetrating. It was as if it could see through all of Zhang Ruochen’s secrets.
Unlike other tigers, it didn’t have markings on the tiger’s forehead that resembles the Chinese character for “King’.”

Instead, it had the Chinese character “Inter”.
It was very ancient and had a special character. Zhang Ruochen recalled it for a long time before remembering that he had seen the same font in a book called the Secret Records of God’s Ancient Nidus in Sevenstar Imperial Palace.
It seemed to be answering Zhang Ruochen. It said, “The deities of Infernal Court call me Intergold Tiger. I’ve been sleeping here for 30,000 years.”
Zhang Ruochen was shocked and confused. The Intergold Tiger in front of him was obviously not a Supreme saint. It must be a Divine beast and not an ordinary one.
Why was there a Divine beast sleeping inside Ghost’s home planet?
If it was a coincidence, Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t believe it.
The key was, which clan did it belong to?
It didn’t seem to be related to any of the ten clans.
“I’m sorry, senior. I came here by mistake. I didn’t mean to disturb your deep sleep. Goodbye!” Zhang Ruochen wanted to leave, but he found that he couldn’t move. The surface of his body had turned into gold, restricting his ability to move.
Intergold Tiger said slowly, “Not all cultivators have the ability to come here. You’re the first in 30,000 years. You’ve reached the most basic condition by fusing with Apex Intergold Qi.”
“I saw that you have fused five kinds of Saintwills and cultivated a medium Grade two Saintwill. You had a chance to reach the top Grade two Saintwill, but unfortunately, your Saintwill has a big flaw.”
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, ” I’m grateful for your Apex Intergold Qi. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for me to succeed without such an encounter.”
“Do you know why you are here?” Intergold Tiger suddenly asked.
