God Emperor

The gatekeeper had a sword to protect his body, but he was able to deflect Zhang Ruochen's fatal sword, but failed to hit the vital point.

"Chichi."

However, firelight spattered around its head, and a long gap was torn open by Shen Yuan's ancient sword.

"It's a pity that I couldn't kill him with one strike." Zhang Ruochen sighed secretly.

The power of time disappeared, and the gatekeeper's eyes flashed, and the silver giant sword in his hand swept out. It was extremely powerful and carried the dazzling sword Dao Xuan Gang.

It's too fast, there's no way to avoid it.

Zhang Ruochen's expression changed drastically, and he quickly held the sword with both hands and blocked it horizontally.

"Bang."

A force that Zhang Ruochen could not resist fell on Shen Yuan's ancient sword.

The broad sword body vibrated violently.

Suddenly, the jaws of Zhang Ruochen's hands were split open by the shock, and a large amount of holy blood flew out from his fingers. A body comparable to that of a three-step holy king, so vulnerable?

The Boat of Truth and Zhang Ruochen were thrown into the distance at the same time, and fell rapidly downwards.

Zhang Ruochen couldn't care about anything else and had to go all out to control the boat of truth. If he fell into the sea, it would mean failure, but Zhang Ruochen didn't want to fail.

Just as the boat of truth was about to land smoothly on the sea, suddenly, a huge shadow appeared above his head.

Zhang Ruochen looked up and saw the gatekeeper floating above his head, his eyes cold and solemn, like an iron-blooded and ruthless god of death in silver.

It swung the silver giant sword and slashed down suddenly.

The power contained in the silver giant sword was quite terrifying. It was still hanging at a height of more than ten feet, but the sea surface was forced to sink, making Zhang Ruochen feel weightless.

At the same time, Zhang Ruochen's scalp was in pain, as if it was about to be squeezed open by that invisible force.

"No, I can't be defeated. How can I fall in the fourth level of the sea? I am Zhang Ruochen, the controller of time and space. My goal is to become a god and defeat Chi Yao... I must do what others can't do. Do it." Zhang Ruochen has a strong will, a firm goal, and an unyielding belief in his heart.

In this life-and-death moment, the potential of the body is stimulated to the extreme, the brain is empty, and the time around you seems to be getting slower and slower. The whole person seems to be standing in a dark, silent, and cold universe, able to watch quietly Everything changes.

All the doubts that had been bothering him were cleared up at this moment.

Looking at the silver giant sword slashed down from above, Zhang Ruochen grasped the hilt of the sword again.

"Wow——"

A layer of black light appeared on the body of Shen Yuan's ancient sword.

That's not sword light.

But the sword's path Xuangang.

At the same time, flames as scorching as the scorching sun emerged from the Vulcan armor on both arms, and combined with the sword's Xuangang, they slashed upward into the sky.

"Boom."

The two swordsmen Xuangang collided fiercely.

The silver giant sword in the gatekeeper's hand was broken into pieces, and even its body was cut into two pieces by Shen Yuan's ancient sword.

"Bang."

The boat of truth fell heavily to the sea. Around the boat, water waves that were several times higher than Zhang Ruochen's body were set off. However, Zhang Ruochen's body stood firmly on the boat of truth.

The two bodies of the gatekeeper disintegrated and turned into dense light spots, flying back to the light curtain: "Pass the gate."

Zhang Ruochen looked at the sword in his hand and let out a series of laughs.

Unexpectedly, in this situation, he understood the last level of Kenpachi in one fell swoop and condensed the Kendo Xuan Gang.

wonderful.

Indescribably wonderful.

Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen put away his smile and seemed to understand something, and thought to himself: "It seems that crossing the Sea of ​​Truth is not just about getting rewards. The biggest role should be to use the sea environment to hone the monks."

"The process of crossing the sea is for monks to understand how to control their various powers more perfectly."

"A gatekeeper is equivalent to a teacher. Fighting against it not only increases combat experience, but also allows one to learn its combat skills. Such a sparring teacher can allow monks to make rapid progress."

If there were no gatekeepers in the fourth level of the sea, Zhang Ruochen might have to wait a while longer if he wanted to cultivate Kenpachi to perfection.

Of course, what makes Zhang Ruochen even more delighted is that just now, the Vulcan Armor finally exploded with its due power. That power was much more powerful than when it was in Qiu Yu's hands.

It is precisely because of the blessing of the Vulcan Armor that Zhang Ruochen was able to defeat the gatekeeper with one sword.

What is the reason?

Zhang Ruochen was quite puzzled, so he quickly mobilized his mental power to explore the two gloves and two arm guards of the Vulcan armor.

The gloves and arm guards were like four pieces of flame divine iron, with a large number of ancient divine patterns intertwined on their surfaces, and even some patterns of divine beasts floating on them.

When the Vulcan Armor was activated before, there was absolutely no such huge change.

Slowly, Zhang Ruochen took back the holy energy.

He discovered that the recovered holy energy contained specks of light.

"That is...the secret of truth..."

Previously, due to the critical situation, Zhang Ruochen could not control the truth, so he injected the truth and holy energy into the Vulcan armor.

Is it because of the blessing of truth that the Vulcan Armor explodes with its due power?

After completely withdrawing the truth and holy energy, Zhang Ruochen injected the holy energy into the Vulcan armor alone. Immediately, the Vulcan Armor emerged with a crimson flame, but the aura it exuded was far inferior to what it had just been.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ruochen injected the secret of truth into it.

"Boom."

Suddenly, the two gloves and two arm guards emitted dazzling flames, making Zhang Ruochen's arms turn red, like a metal body made of red copper, full of violent power.

Faintly, there was a frightening divine power coming out.

"It actually really needs to be activated by the secret of truth in order to unleash the strongest power."

Zhang Ruochen was even more confused. At the beginning, Qiu Yu had no truth at all, so how could he exert the power of the Vulcan Armor?

Perhaps, the secret of truth is not the only way to activate the Vulcan Armor, there are other ways.

The key point, where is it?

While Zhang Ruochen was meditating, the Qianxing Tiannu, who was sitting cross-legged on the Boat of Truth and recovering her holy energy, opened a pair of vast apricot eyes like smoke and stared at him.

To be precise, he should be staring at the flame armor on his arm.

A wave of waves flashed in his calm eyes. Then, the Thousand Stars Goddess turned away her eyes, rode the boat of truth, and entered the fifth level of the sea.

Feng Yan spent a lot of effort and finally defeated the gatekeeper in the fourth sea area. He looked towards Zhang Ruochen with an incredible look in his eyes.

He didn't say anything, he just sat cross-legged on the boat of truth, running his exercises and restoring his holy energy.

The previous blow also consumed more than half of the holy energy in Zhang Ruochen's body. At this moment, he stood in the center of the boat and circulated the holy energy in his body according to the eighth-level practice method "Eight Extremes Mengyi Tian" in the "Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra".

After just one cycle, the holy energy in the body returned to its peak state.

The more advanced the technique, the faster it absorbs the holy energy, the more pure the holy energy is, and the speed of recovery is naturally much faster than other monks.

"Wow——"

Zhang Ruochen rode the boat of truth and rushed towards the light curtain ahead.

"Cross the fourth level of the sea and gain two ten thousandths of the truth." The familiar voice sounded again the moment it passed through the light curtain.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of light points poured into Zhang Ruochen's body.

"After crossing the first, second, and third levels of the sea, you only get one ten thousandth of the truth. After crossing the fourth level, you get two ten thousandths. Could it be because it is more difficult, so you get Just get more?”

While Zhang Ruochen was deep in thought, another voice sounded in his ear, "Have you obtained the secret of truth?"

Zhang Ruochen suddenly woke up and looked to the left, only to see, ten feet away, the Thousand Stars Goddess standing on the boat of truth, exuding starry mist, giving people a sense of independence from the world.

The boat of truth under her feet stopped motionless under the light curtain, as if it was deliberately waiting for Zhang Ruochen.

"what are you saying?"

Zhang Ruochen deliberately pretended to be confused.

Qianxing Tiannu's eyes were indifferent and she said: "The gloves and arm guards you wear on your arms are vessels made by a god using a special weapon refining method. Only by using the power of mysteries can the divine power be inspired."

"As expected of a goddess, she has great eyesight. But what is the power of mysteries? Is there any other mysteries besides truth?" Zhang Ruochen would naturally not ask this question, otherwise, he would be asking for trouble.

Zhang Ruochen smiled and denied: "It's just an ancient artifact containing a small amount of divine power. It's not a special instrument."

Qianxing Tiannv did not want to argue with Zhang Ruochen, but said: "Don't you want to know the difference between this special vessel and the ancient artifacts, sacred vessels, and sacred vessels?"

Zhang Ruochen's heart sank slightly. It seemed that the other party was sure that he had obtained the secret of the truth.

Of course, the Thousand Stars Goddess also revealed a secret, and she also gained the secret of truth.

Even if there is no enmity between the two monks who have obtained the secret of truth, they will become life-or-death enemies.

Everyone wants to kill the other and seize the truth from the other.

Qianxing Tiannu is very likely to practice the way of nothingness, and there is a huge ancient civilization behind her. Such an enemy is as troublesome as Shang Ziyan.

Zhang Ruochen could only hope that since he was wearing a mask, the other party would not be able to recognize his identity.

However, the possibility is slim.

In the previous battle with the gatekeeper, Zhang Ruochen used the power of time and space, and also used the ancient sword of Shen Yuan. Even if Qianxing Tiannu didn't know Zhang Ruochen before, she could find him with just a little research.

If he faced the two enemies of Shang Ziyuan and Qianxing Tiannu at the same time, it would be like being attacked from both sides. Zhang Ruochen did not want to watch the situation develop for the worst.

What should we do now?

After crossing the sea of ​​truth, go and assassinate her?

In Zhang Ruochen's eyes, all the peerless beauties and alluring goddesses were just passing appearances. She was not his woman anyway. As long as she threatened his life, he could only kill her first.

In the flash of lightning, thousands of thoughts emerged in Zhang Ruochen's mind.

Qianxing Tiannu said: "You hide your murderous intention very well, but you can't hide it from me. You want to kill me and take away the truth from me, but it's a pity that you are not strong enough."

Now that the other party has made his words clear, Zhang Ruochen no longer hides it and grins: "Really? Let's see who can have the last laugh."

"Chichi."

The light curtain trembled slightly.

Obviously, another monk is coming to the fifth sea area.

The Thousand-Star Goddess said no more, steered the boat of truth, and sailed forward.
