Chapter 1422: Priest Competition

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
A deity should not be offended.
This was a deep-rooted view in all beings.
Now, they had to offend a deity in order to fight for the priest’s position. This made the hearts of all the Saints tremble.
But Zhang Ruochen didn’t feel any hesitation. With a Luan and phoenix’s shadow appearing under his feet, he rushed out quickly.
The remaining 11 True Saints froze. Then they also used their fastest speed to charge toward Guanghan Divine Palace.
“That saint sword is mine. No one can fight with me.”
Ji Kongpo’s feet stepped on two Kun shadows. His speed was actually faster than Zhang Ruochen and soon surpassed him.
In addition, Su Qingling and Ling Mi were extremely fast too. They left later but arrived sooner and were almost at the same level as Ji Kongpo.
After all, Zhang Ruochen was only in the beginning of the Heaven Pass Realm. Compared to the top prides of Guanghan Field, he had no advantage in speed.
“Even some guy from the Heaven Pass Realm wants to fight for the priest position? Get out of the way. Don’t block me.”
There was a muscular three-meter-tall man behind Zhang Ruochen. He charged over, legs pushing powerfully. He sped up greatly and sent out a blue-green metal fist, punching Zhang Ruochen’s back.
Before the metal fist arrived, a terrible sound of wind and thunder entered Zhang Ruochen’s ears.
This muscular guy wasn’t a human but a Taigu Remain. Not only was his physical body a Saint, but he was also filled with Chaotic Qi.
More importantly, he’d reached the pinnacle of the True Saint Realm.
If a Heaven Pass Saint were hit by his fist, he’d be heavily injured or even dead.
Just then, Zhang Ruochen’s body twisted. He turned back and formed a fist print with his hands, blocking behind him.
Boom!
The fist strength sent Zhang Ruochen barreling toward Guanghan Divine Palace. He arrived at the palace even before Ji Kongpo, Ling Mi and Su Qingling.
“He could actually block my punch with half of my strength. No wonder that guy dares to get into this. He does have some abilities.” That muscular guy was a bit dazed.
The Saints who weren’t participating in the priest competition were also shocked.
“The Red-Eyed Blue Wolf can fight with a beginner Absolute Saint for a long while without losing. It’s a bit unbelievable for a Heaven Pass Saint to take his punch.”
“How come I feel like the Red-Eyed Blue Wolf is on his side? That punch was clearly to help bring him to the Guanghan Divine Palace, hehe.”
…
The Guanghan Divine Palace was more than 400 meters tall. It was majestic and beautiful, spraying with divine light. The steps, walls, and pillars were all made out of high-purity saint stones and jade. If one looked carefully, one would discover that the stone and jade were carved with delicate patterns, such as flying birds, fairies, dragons, stars, etc.
But standing below Guanghan Divine Palace, one felt extreme divine might.
Even with Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation, he still felt like a divine mountain was pressing on him. He could only climb up slowly.
Ji Kongpo, Ling Mi, and Su Qingling had also rushed to the Guanghan Divine Palace. They also suffered from the divine might’s suppression.
“Even a Heaven Pass Saint wants to get onto Guanghan Divine Palace? Get down here.”
Ji Kongpo was very decisive. He attacked Zhang Ruochen directly. The gold-scale snake spear transformed into a dozen beams of golden light. They stabbed forward at once, enveloping Zhang Ruochen’s entire body.
To Zhang Ruochen, it was like a dozen golden snakes bared their fangs, snapping at him.
He was forced to stop and take out his Abyss Ancient Sword to block them.
Hundreds of beams of Sword Qi solidified instantly. They gathered into a shield, crashing against the dozen snake apparitions.
Thud, thud.
A string of explosions sounded in the space between Ji Kongpo and Zhang Ruochen.
One had to admit that Ji Kongpo was even stronger than Bu Ji, who was in the beginning of the True Saint Realm. No wonder Bu Ji felt pressure when he heard that Ji Kongpo had entered the True Saint Realm.
“He actually blocked Ji Kongpo’s fatal strike. This Heaven Pass Saint isn’t simple.”
“Ji Kongpo has always been able to defeat people of the same realm with one strike. Now, he’s an entire level above his opponent but he couldn’t defeat him. This is miraculous.”
…
Ji Kongpo’s physique was very strong. He’d reached the Peak Realm four times and also saintified his body. Compared to Wu Hao’s Complete Body, he was only a bit weaker. He was basically a Pre-Complete Body.
Right now, Ji Kongpo was also surprised. Even though he didn’t use all his power because he’d underestimated his enemy, barely any True Saints could take that fatal hit, let alone a beginner Heaven Pass Saint.
Because of this delay, Ling Mi and Su Qingling had already reached 30 meters. In addition, Wen Shucheng and Bu Ji had caught up too. Ji Kongpo didn’t dare to dally anymore and stopped attacking Zhang Ruochen.
Ji Kongpo used his gold-scale snake spear as support and flung himself up. He shot to 30 meters instantly and swung the spear at Su Qingling.
“What an annoying guy.”
Two saint swords flew out of Su Qingling’s forehead. One crashed against the gold-scale snake spear. The other went for Ling Mi.
Since she was held back by Ji Kongpo, she couldn’t let Ling Mi rush up either.
The three instantly got tangled up.
“Qingling, let me help you.”
Bu Ji activated his strong martial soul. Like a huge golden lion climbing up Guanghan Divine Palace, he quickly charged to the edge of the battle ring.
Ji Kongpo was clearly weaker than Ling Mi and Su Qingling. He was forced out of the battle ring and crashed into Bu Ji, who’d charged over.
Thus, the two started fighting.
Zhang Ruochen circled around the battle ring and continued climbing. He soon reached the 100-meter mark.
The four who were fighting clearly realized that someone had surpassed them. They immediately stopped fighting and pursued quickly.
The higher they got, the stronger the divine might became.
Of course, Zhang Ruochen was the least afraid of divine might. It could be said that the higher he was, the bigger his advantage became.
Now, he was already 200 meters up and had the biggest advantage. Thus, he used his fastest physical technique. As long as he maintained this advantage, the position of priest was definitely his.
The Saints from the conference below were in an uproar.
“Am I seeing this correctly? A beginner Heaven Pass Saint has actually surpassed the absolute geniuses of Guanghan Field—Ji Kongpo, Ling Mi, Su Qingling, Wen Shucheng, and Buji—and rushed to the front?”
“That Heaven Pass Saint could actually block the Red-Eyed Blue Wolf and Ji Kongpo’s attacks. How could he be an average man?”
“Who exactly is he? Which Supreme Saint is he under?”
“Even if this man doesn’t get the saint sword, he’s made a name for himself today.”
Wu Hao looked up, focusing on Zhang Ruochen. An interested expression appeared. “Everyone, watch carefully. There is divine might weighing down around Guanghan Divine Palace.”
“If I’ve guessed correctly, the higher one’s cultivation, the stronger the suppression from divine might.”
“The higher you climb, the stronger the suppression is as well.”
The Saints nearby all had expressions of realization. They all lamented that Wu Hao’s observation skills were advanced.
“This way, it does seem fair.”
“No wonder Ji Kongpo, an early True Saint, could fight for a while with Ling Mi and Su Qingling, at the peaks of the True Saint Realm. This is the reason.”
“Even if that Heaven Pass Saint suffers from less divine might, it’s still incredible that he could break free from a group of top talents.”
Moments later, Zhang Ruochen was already at 300 meters.
Below him, Ling Mi and Su Qingling were right behind. They were already at 250 meters.
Ji Kongpo was slightly behind Ling Mi and Su Qingling. Looking at the uppermost Zhang Ruochen, heavy fury appeared in his eyes. He let out long screams.

He felt humiliated to be surpassed by a small character that he’d overlooked before.
Today, even if he couldn’t become the priest, he would still force that Heaven Pass Saint down from Guanghan Divine Palace.
“Ling Mi,” Ji Kongpo called. “If I help you, will you give me half of the 10,000 drops of Ning True Saint Dew you receive?”
“Sure.”
Ling Mi agreed to Ji Kongpo’s conditions because she could also see that if they didn’t work together, the Heaven Pass Saint might take the saint sword.
Ten thousand drops of Ning True Saint Dew was a small matter, but she had to get the position of priest. She couldn’t let the fate of the Guanghan Field be in the hands of a Heaven Pass Saint.
Ji Kongpo stood three feet behind Ling Mi. He formed a huge Kun print with his hands and sent it out. Eighteen rings of Qi appeared, hitting Ling Mi’s back.
COMMENT
The next moment, Ling Mi sped up. She charged up like a beam of white light.
“Qingling, I’ll also help you.” Bu Ji rushed up from behind. He activated his Supreme Saint martial soul and also sent out 18 beams of Qi. Su Qingling rushed forward, catching up to Zhang Ruochen.
“Thanks! If I get the Ning True Saint Dew, I’ll give you half.” Su Qingling’s lovely laugh sounded.
Ji Kongpo and Bu Ji didn’t give up on fighting for the position of priest. They also climbed up with all their might.
380 meters high.
Ling Mi attacked Zhang Ruochen. A translucent finger pointed out from the white saintly mist.
In that moment, all the rules changed with her finger as the center. They distorted.
Zhang Ruochen felt an extremely dangerous aura. Thus, his Holy Qi circulated fiercely and harrowing black light spread from the Abyss Ancient Sword. He cut down on Ling Mi with all his might.
Boom!
The blade of the Abyss Ancient Sword crashed against Ling Mi’s finger. Metal and stone clashed, producing a loud explosion that shocked the world.

The next moment, black and white light flooded in all directions.
