God Emperor

The huge Blood God Sect became empty, and everyone gathered at the top of Qianyuan Mountain, including Du Mosheng, Pei Linhu, He Yuan and other demonic monks who had surrendered.

Previously, the Dark Demon Realm was coming fiercely, but for whatever reason, Du Mosheng and others did not back down, and performed fairly well, which made Zhang Ruochen quite satisfied.

Now that the Blood God Sect is employing people, Zhang Ruochen plans to train the three of them well. The three of them are bound by the Blood God's curse seal and are absolutely loyal. You can safely invest all kinds of resources in them.

What Du Mosheng practiced was the Diagram of Heavenly Demon Devouring God, which happened to be one of the four Heavenly Demon stone carvings collected by the Blood God Sect. What Pei Linhu practiced was the Demonic Tiger Roaring Picture, which was also in the hands of Zhang Ruochen, but he won it from the Dark Demon World through a gambling battle.

The Black Demon Realm had just obtained the authentic copy of the Heavenly Demon Tiger Roaring Picture not long ago, so Pei Linhu had not yet had time to understand it. If he had not surrendered to the Blood God Sect, he would have been destined to miss this Heavenly Demon Stone Carving.

For monks who practice the Demonic Stone Carvings, the significance of directly comprehending the authentic artifacts is extremely huge. Only by comprehending the authentic artifacts can they hope to cultivate the powerful world-destroying demonic energy.

He Yuan is a monk in the Shadow Demon Realm. Although he is not practicing the Heavenly Demon Stone Carving, Zhang Ruochen has a Heavenly Demon Stone Carving in his hand, which is very consistent with the demonic skills he practices. This is why he agreed to cooperate with Pei Linhu and others in the first place.

Being able to be cultivated by Zhang Ruochen, Du Mosheng, Pei Linhu and He Yuan were naturally very excited. They were secretly glad that they had made a wise choice, which not only saved their lives, but also received such good treatment.

In the second year of his retreat, Zhang Ruochen's cultivation reached the peak of the Dao Realm. The number of Holy Dao rules in his body reached one thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, with only one missing. You can reach 20 million Dao, and if you successfully condense it, you can enter the realm of heaven.

However, Zhang Ruochen encountered a bottleneck after reaching this point in his cultivation and was unable to break through in one go like before.

The realm of receiving heaven is no small matter, it is to attract the power of heaven and earth into the body, quench the body and soul, and prepare for the subsequent casting of the immortal holy body.

After most people reach the peak of the Dao Realm, they need to accumulate for a long time, and then rely on accumulation to break through to the Heaven Realm.

Like Du Mosheng, Pei Linhu and He Yuan, the time it took to reach the peak of the Dao Realm was not short, but they were always stuck at the bottleneck, and they were not sure when they would be able to break through.

However, now that they have the opportunity to comprehend the Heavenly Demon Stone Carvings, they may be able to find an opportunity to break through in their cultivation.

"It seems that I only focused on increasing the quantity of Holy Dao rules in the past, but did not pay attention to the quality, which buried the hidden dangers. Of the nearly 20 million Holy Dao rules in my body, 70% were obtained by meditating on the 100,000 small paths and cultivating them. The proportion is too big.”

Zhang Ruochen frowned and quickly found the problem.

With Zhang Ruochen's basic qualifications, if the rules of the holy way are strong enough, the Heaven Connecting Realm will not become a bottleneck and he can easily break through.

Since returning to the Kunlun Realm, Zhang Ruochen has faced an endless stream of powerful enemies and has been under great pressure. He has to find ways to quickly improve his strength.

In comparison, it is undoubtedly the fastest to comprehend the Hundred Thousand Little Paths and add the rules of the Holy Path.

As a result, as his cultivation level improved, the proportion of small path rules in Zhang Ruochen's body became larger and larger, which was already difficult to reverse.

The most troublesome thing is that once the rules of the holy way are cultivated, it is not only impossible but also extremely difficult to change them.

"All the rules of the Holy Path in my body are extremely tightly integrated. If some are extracted rashly, problems will easily occur, and the Tongtian River will inevitably collapse."

Zhang Ruochen couldn't help but feel a headache and felt helpless.

The rules of the holy way can be forcibly extracted from the body, but if you do so rashly, the consequences will be very serious. If you are not careful, you will destroy your future and the path of cultivation will end.

But if this problem is not solved, as the controller of time and space, the time required for Zhang Ruochen to break through to the Heaven Realm will definitely not be short, which will also be a huge trouble.

Many thoughts quickly flashed through Zhang Ruochen's mind, thinking of various ways. This was just a small twist in his cultivation path. If he couldn't solve it, what's the point of becoming a god?

"This method may work."

Zhang Ruochen whispered, reaching out and gently touching the Vulcan armor on his body.

The next moment, he mobilized all the secrets of truth in his body, mixed the holy energy, and injected it into the Vulcan armor.

A large number of mysterious patterns suddenly appeared on the surface of the Vulcan armor, and terrifying flames rose up.

With the help of the thirty-nine percent truth, Zhang Ruochen undoubtedly further inspired the power of the Vulcan Armor.

At the same time, Zhang Ruochen extracted the ten rules of the Holy Path from Tongtian River and emerged outside his body.

These rules of the holy way are all rules of the small way. They look very slender and the power they contain is also very weak.

Zhang Ruochen placed these ten rules of the holy way in the flames and burned them carefully.

The Vulcan Armor was left behind by the former Vulcan. The divine fire contained within it was extremely terrifying and could burn all things.

Not too long ago, there was a trail of rules that showed signs of dissolving.

Zhang Ruochen had a solemn expression and carefully controlled the flames released by the Vulcan Armor, allowing the ten small rules to merge with each other.

It is obviously not easy to do this. If it is not done well, these ten rules of the holy path will be destroyed.

"Bang."

A rule of the holy way exploded and dissipated directly into nothingness.

Involuntarily, Zhang Ruochen's expression became solemn, but he did not stop because of this, he just seemed more cautious.

But even so, these ten rules of the Holy Path still exploded one after another and disappeared into thin air.

"Come again."

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Ruochen once again extracted ten small rules from the Tongtian River.

As before, he was still burning with the flames released by the Vulcan Armor.

Unfortunately, the result this time was still the same as before.

However, Zhang Ruochen obviously had no intention of giving up. After a pause, he started again.

In this way, hundreds of consecutive attempts were made and thousands of holy rules were lost, so that even the Tianhe River experienced slight vibrations and became vaguely unstable.

Finally, combined with the experience summarized time and time again, the rules of the small path showed signs of merging, and the ten rules merged into one, turning into an incomplete and strong rule.

Seeing this, Zhang Ruochen did not hesitate, and immediately summoned dozens more rules of the holy way from his body and smelted them in the same way.

In this process, Zhang Ruochen used his mental power to the extreme and clearly grasped every detail.

After a long time, a relatively thick rule of the Holy Path appeared in the blazing flames. It was completely different in nature.

Seeing this brand new rule of the holy way, Zhang Ruochen suddenly smiled, "It is finally worth losing thousands of rules of the holy way. Thirty-three small rules are merged into one great rule. Although this method is difficult, But it does work.”

The ancient way, the supreme holy way, the great road and the small road have extremely wonderful connections with each other.

The nine eternal ways are the most fundamental ways, which give rise to the seventy-two supreme holy ways, and then to three thousand great ways and one hundred thousand small ways.

On the contrary, dozens of trails of the same type can form a great avenue by returning to their roots.

Going forward, dozens of avenues of the same type can theoretically form one supreme holy path.

Of course, although this is true in theory, it is extremely difficult to actually do it.

From what Zhang Ruochen thought about, it would probably only work if the small roads merged into the main road, and there was no need to think about the rest.

"Next, I will do my best to merge the rules of the small road into the rules of the big road, and fundamentally solve the hidden dangers."

Now that he has found a solution, Zhang Ruochen naturally wants to complete this matter quickly.

Integrating rules is not an easy task and requires extreme care. Even if you find the trick, it will be difficult to achieve efficiency quickly.

As the number of rules in the trail decreases, Zhang Ruochen will undoubtedly be able to cultivate more powerful rules.

In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.

The minor rules in Zhang Ruochen's body were reduced by 7 million, and merged into more than 200,000 major rules.

At the same time, Zhang Ruochen also cultivated another three million powerful rules of the Holy Way in the past ten years. The total number of rules of the Holy Way in his body is more than 16 million, but it has not caused any regression in his cultivation.

Now calculated, there are less than 7 million small Tao rules in Zhang Ruochen's body, accounting for 40% of the total.

At this point, Zhang Ruochen stopped and no longer continued to integrate the rules of the trail.

It is impossible for any monk not to have the existence of minor Tao rules, which are an important foundation and indispensable.

"Next, practice according to this ratio. If the number of small path rules is smaller, Tongtian River will become unstable."

Zhang Ruochen whispered, he already knew what he would do in the future.

Although the total number of rules has been reduced, the scale of Tongtian River has become significantly larger.

There is no other reason. There are more strong and powerful rules in Tongtian River, and the power contained is far more powerful than before.

With the current power of Tongtian River, if we mobilize the rules of heaven and earth and the power of heaven and earth, both the scope and quantity will be greatly increased.

Correspondingly, Zhang Ruochen's own strength actually rose instead of falling.

As long as he raises his cultivation to the peak of the Dao Realm again, his strength will definitely be greatly improved.

However, Zhang Ruochen also discovered a problem, that is, any kind of holy way rules, when the total number reaches more than 500,000, it will become very difficult to continue to increase.

The largest number of holy rules in Zhang Ruochen's body are the rules of swordsmanship. Before the retreat, he had already reached 700,000 rules, which can be said to be a very remarkable achievement.

This retreat lasted almost twelve years, and the rules of kendo increased by about 70,000. Zhang Ruochen's understanding of swordsmanship became more and more profound, and he became more confident in creating his own swordsmanship.

After adjusting the rules of the holy way in his body, Zhang Ruochen once again devoted himself to his cultivation. He wanted to improve his cultivation and at the same time complete the four goals he set before retreating.

In the fifteenth year of seclusion, Du Mosheng broke through the bottleneck and broke through to the realm of heaven as he wished.

More importantly, the blood-sea demonic energy in Du Mosheng's body transformed. At the moment of breakthrough, the first ray of world-destroying demonic energy appeared in his body.

After more than a year, Pei Linhu and He Yuan successively broke through to the Heaven Realm. However, they were not as lucky as Du Mosheng. They didn't know how long they would have to wait before they could hope to cultivate the world-destroying demonic energy.

"Uh-huh."

The extremely solid sword soul flew out of Zhang Ruochen's body.

A wisp of sword energy spurted out, condensing into a holy sword, which was held by the sword soul.

The sword soul held the sword and waved it in the air. The sword skills displayed were not very brilliant. They were all the most basic sword styles, but they gave people the feeling of being extremely sophisticated and spiritual.

As time went by, the sword skills performed by the sword soul became more and more advanced, and Zhang Ruochen practiced all the sword skills he had learned.

When the last move of True Thunder Fire Sword Technique was performed, the sword intent emanating from the sword soul changed in vain.

I saw the holy sword drawing a strange trajectory, slight ripples in the space, and subtle changes in the flow of time.

A crystal clear flower appeared out of thin air, blooming slowly and beautifully. At the moment when this strange flower bloomed, the surrounding space and time showed obvious fluctuations.

A sacred weapon with seven rays and ten thousand patterns flew out of Zhang Ruochen's body and disappeared into the area enveloped by the sword intent.

"Buzz."

In an instant, thousands of tiny cracks appeared on the surface of this seven-ray and ten-thousand-pattern sacred instrument, and then it shattered directly and turned into powder.

Seeing this scene, a smile suddenly appeared on Zhang Ruochen's face.

"I successfully created a sword technique, and now I have finally taken another big step in the way of swordsmanship."

Zhang Ruochen couldn't help but feel a surge of heroism in his heart as his sword skills were just beginning to be perfected.

Although this sword technique has just been created and is not very perfect yet, in terms of power, it should barely reach the level of high-level holy arts.

As long as it is further improved, its power can be greatly improved.

Zhang Ruochen combined what he had learned and integrated the principles of time and space into his swordsmanship. Once used, a special space-time can be formed to envelop the enemy, which has the effect of trapping and killing the enemy.

Although the power of this move may not be as powerful as the Time Sword Technique, it is easier to perform and can be coordinated with the Time Sword Technique.

Speaking of which, it was also because Zhang Ruochen had cultivated a large number of time rules and space rules over the years, and had a deeper understanding of the laws of time and space, that he was able to successfully create sword techniques.

"Let's name this sword technique Yi Nian Hua Kai!"

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Ruochen decided on the name of the sword technique.

One thought represents time, and the Buddha said that one flower represents one world, and the flower represents space. The name is undoubtedly very appropriate.

"Boom."

At this moment, the flow speed of Tongtian River suddenly accelerated and rushed out of Zhang Ruochen's body in an instant.

"I didn't expect that the creation of swordsmanship would be an opportunity for me to break through to the Heaven Realm."

Seeing this change, the smile on Zhang Ruochen's face couldn't help but become brighter.

The Tongtian River is entangled around Zhang Ruochen, flowing at an astonishing speed. The rules of the holy path are in it, like swimming fish, full of spirituality.

Drawn by the Tongtian River, waves of power from heaven and earth came through the air and poured into Zhang Ruochen's body.

Originally, Zhang Ruochen's physical body had reached its limit and it was difficult to improve further.

But at this moment, when the power of heaven and earth entered his body, he clearly felt that the limits of his physical body were broken, and he became more powerful bit by bit.

The effect of using the power of heaven and earth to temper the body for the first time was the best, so Zhang Ruochen immediately calmed down his mind and devoted himself to training wholeheartedly.

Zhang Ruochen's physical body is already extremely powerful. At this time, the benefits he gets are naturally far superior to those of ordinary people.

Zhang Ruochen didn't stop until his physical body was completely saturated and could no longer hold any trace of the power of heaven and earth.

Next, he needs to settle down before he can continue to use the power of heaven and earth to temper his body.

At this time, Tongtian River also returned to calm and submerged into Zhang Ruochen's body again.

At this point, Zhang Ruochen has truly entered the realm of heaven.

Facing strong men at the level of Zhou Yu and Mo Sheng again, fighting will no longer be as difficult as before.

"The rules of space have reached 280,000, the rules of time have reached 210,000, and the rules of truth have reached 480,000. Compared with before the retreat, they have all doubled, which is consistent with my current cultivation level. "

Zhang Ruochen seemed quite satisfied with the results of his cultivation over the years.

Before going into seclusion, he set four goals for himself, and now he has completed three of them, only missing the second layer of seal on Yanshen's leg.

"My cultivation has reached the Heaven-Connecting Realm. I should be confident that I can unlock the second layer of seal on Yan Shen's leg. I hope you won't be disappointed."

Zhang Ruochen whispered, full of expectations for completing this matter.

The Yan Shen Leg is a real divine leg, containing extremely majestic power. If the Moon God had not set four layers of seals in it, it would be impossible for Zhang Ruochen to control it.

Just by unlocking the first layer of seals, you can have the power to threaten the Immortal Monkey King. I don't know how powerful it will be if you unlock the second layer of seals.

The "Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra" was operating, and Zhang Ruochen gathered all the holy energy in his body into his left leg.

At the same time, Zhang Ruochen also mobilized the energy of Shenyang in the sea of ​​divine light to melt into his left leg.

Inspired by the Holy Qi and Shenyang Essence, Zhang Ruochen's left leg instantly turned red, like a red-hot black iron pillar, and thick divine rules emerged one after another.

"Break it for me."

When the strength was accumulated to the extreme, Zhang Ruochen let out a loud shout in his throat.

"boom."

Like a falling star, a powerful force crazily impacted on the second seal of Yanshen's leg.

Even though it was a seal set by the Moon God, it was extremely strong, but under the impact of this force, it quickly shattered.

The seal was shattered, an extremely violent force emerged crazily, and the surrounding space was immediately shattered.

Zhang Ruochen reacted very quickly and immediately used the Hidden Mountain Magic Mirror to block the space around him to prevent the power of Yan Shen's legs from spreading out.

This power is really too terrifying. If it is allowed to spread, it will be a catastrophe.

"With the rules of millions of gods, no wonder they are so terrifying."

Looking at the thick rules emerging from his left leg, Zhang Ruochen couldn't help but have a look of surprise in his eyes.

He had known for a long time that there could not be only one hundred thousand Taoist rules in Yanshen's legs, most of them were sealed by the Moon God.

Only when all four layers of seals are broken, will the divine rules in Yan Shen's legs be fully revealed.

And by that time, the power possessed by Yan Shen's legs would probably be able to destroy the world.

"My current holy energy foundation is not enough to fully activate the rules of these millions of gods. It seems that my cultivation strength needs to be further improved in order to fully unleash the power of the Yan Shen Leg that has unlocked the two layers of seals. come out."

Zhang Ruochen's heart was shocked, and he felt the power of Yanshen's legs very clearly.

The holy energy converged, Yan Shen's legs gradually returned to calm, and the rules of millions of gods were hidden again.

After some breath adjustment, the holy energy in Zhang Ruochen's body was completely restored, and his energy and spirit reached its peak again.

The four goals have been achieved, so Zhang Ruochen plans to leave the country.

In total, he has been in seclusion for twenty-four years this time and has consumed twenty-four sacred stones, which is longer than any previous retreat.

"It's time to leave seclusion. Keep the remaining nine sacred stones for now. They may be of great use."

Zhang Ruochen turned his gaze to the sundial and couldn't help but think deeply.

As the energy of the two inlaid sacred stones was exhausted, the sundial fell silent and was caught in Zhang Ruochen's hand.

After staring at the sundial for a moment, Zhang Ruochen put it away.

Then, Zhang Ruochen was about to stand up, but as soon as he moved, his expression changed drastically. The reason was that his left leg became extremely heavy, making it difficult for him to stand up.

"I didn't expect that after unlocking the second layer of seal, it would be the same as when I first got Yanshen's leg. It seems that I will inevitably be lame for a while."

After finding out the condition of his left leg, Zhang Ruochen couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
