God Emperor Chapter 1608 - Hundred Step No Lives

Chapter 1608: Hundred Step No Lives

The man called Mr. Mu looked to be around thirty years old. He had thick eyebrows, wearing a wooden hat. He’d been staring at the three people fighting at the center of Sun and Moon Star Combined Formation.
“They’re too young to put up a good fight,” said Mr. Mu.
Mrs. Mu looked very young. She had smooth skin and a beautiful face. She said, “We’re much better at saint spells than Wang Xu and Zhan Yu. We can defeat them within a hundred moves if we’re at the same level.
“But that Zhang Ruochen kid is difficult to deal with. From every aspect, he’s a pinnacle being under saint kings. He doesn’t have any weaknesses.”
Mr. Mu shook his head and said, “He isn’t perfect. Zhang Ruochen’s still very weak in the Way of Truth, and if I’m correct, he’s only fully comprehended the second Visualization Picture on the first level of Truth Godly Palace. He can only amplify his saint spells three times.
“As for Zhan Yu, he’s fully comprehended the third Visualization Picture, and he can improve his saint spell by four times.
“Wang Xu is more impressive. I heard that he’s comprehended ‘Flower in the Haze’ and crossed the fourth level of Ocean of Truth. He’s one step away from out comprehension on Way of Truth.”
Mrs. Mu chuckled. “Zhang Ruochen drank saint wine that can improve his strength, which is more than enough to make up for his weakness in the Way of Truth.”
“Seems like we need to take action to end the fight,” said Mr. Mu.
Before becoming saint kings, both Mr. and Mrs. Mu were on the ‘Saints Merits Rank’, but they were ranked low.
It’d been more than a century since they became saint kings.
They’d comprehended a great many saintly way rules in the past hundred-something years, and they’d refined top-tier saint spells and collected powerful saint weapons, having better battle experience.
Which was why they were still more powerful than Wang Xu and Zhan Yu even if their cultivation was only at half-step-saint-king level.
“Evil Vase Finger.”
Mr. Mu pinched his right hand into a bizarre finger technique.
Evil Qi spun around his fingers, forming a vase.
It was an ordinary mid-class saint spell, but with Mr. Mu’s great power and the great number of saintly way rules in his body, he mobilized almost a hundred finger way rules, merging them with his saint spell.
Evil Qi gushed out, turning Mr. Mu’s body into a black whirlpool.
Wang Xu was only able to mobilize twenty to thirty saintly way rules when he was performing a mid-class saint spell.
The same mid-class saint spell would have completely different power when it was merged with a different number of saintly way rules.
Just as Mr. Mu’s body turned into a black hole and he was about to rush into Sun and Moon Star Combined Formation, Mrs. Mu also performed a mid-class saint spell, turning into a white whirlpool and crashing the formation.
There were originally three great beings in the formation, but now, there were five.
Everyone thought that Zhang Ruochen would be defeated and killed very soon.
However, the fight only got fiercer and fiercer.
Ling Feiyu was hiding in the dark outside Yin and Yang Palace. She was clinging to her Heaven-Burier Sword, staring at the five people fighting in the formation. If she hadn’t known Zhang Ruochen’s plan beforehand, she would’ve rushed in already.
The power ripples coming out of the fight among the five great beings got stronger and stronger, which exerted much more pressure on the Song siblings, and their ancestral weapons were shaking, numbing their arms.
All the monks from the evil way around them looked at each other, shocked.
Zhang Ruochen was unbelievably strong. The combined effort of Wang Xu, Zhan Yu, Mr. Mu, and Mrs. Mu couldn’t take him down.
Gradually, Qiong Ling noticed something off.
“Wait, Zhang Ruochen only rivaled Wang Xu, and after Zhan Yu joining the fight, they’re at a stalemate. Now after the Mus joined, how can they still be in a stalemate?”
Suddenly, Qiong Ling realized something, and he yelled, “Careful! Get away from Zhang Ruochen!”
Wang Xu, Zhan Yu, Mr. Mu, and Mrs. Mu all realized a danger coming with their experience.
Just as they were about to get out of Sun and Moon Star Combined Formation, they saw Zhang Ruochen smile wickedly.
Two runes showed up in Zhang Ruochen’s left hand.
Actually, Zhang Ruochen had had those two runes in his hand for a long time, but they didn’t notice them until now.
Zhang Ruochen put a rune on his body, then wielded another rune and mumbled, “Hundred Step No Lives.”
Dozens of engravings emerged on the rune, and then, it gleamed with saint light.
Even the monks far from the Yin and Yang Palace felt that their eyes pained seeing the light coming out of Hundred Step No Lives Rune. They saw a giant light ball with a diameter of a thousand feet outside Yin and Yang Palace.
The energies turned into an apocalyptic storm, engulfing the entire Yin and Yang Palace. If it weren’t for Massive Heavenly Net Formation, that storm would’ve rushed into Heavenly Capital Saint Market, destroying a lot of saint shops.
Wang Xu, Zhan Yu, Mr. Mu, Mrs. Mu, and the Song siblings were the closest, all less than three hundred feet away from Zhang Ruochen, so they were hit the hardest.
The protection runes on the Song siblings all exploded, and their flesh turned into saint bones. Their ancestral weapons also bounced away, hitting the light wall of Massive Heavenly Net Formation, leading to ripples.
If Mr. Mu and Mrs. Mu’s cultivation wasn’t suppressed, they could easily ward off the power from the Hundred Step No Lives Rune. They’d probably only be slightly injured.
However, after their cultivation was suppressed, they fell in blood, seriously harmed.
Mr. Mu’s chest caved in, and his left arm was crushed. Half his body was ragged.
As for Mrs. Mu, her face was covered with blood, and half her head was blown off. There was a crack on her lower abdomen, and lots of saint Qi gushed out of it.
Zhan Yan had a sturdy body, so he wasn’t killed by the Hundred Step No Lives Rune. He was still breathing.
Only Wang Xu was still standing, but there was blood on his lips.
It wasn’t because Wang Xu was more careful or powerful than other monks, but because he was very intimidated by Zhang Ruochen’s Sword Technique of Time last time, and he knew there was nothing he could do himself to ward it off.
After getting back to Ruiya Field, Wang Xu asked his father, who was a God, to carve defense godly engravings on his body.
Before meeting Zhang Ruochen, Wang Xu didn’t want godly engravings at all.
With godly engravings, monks would lose a sense of danger, which was harmful to refining. The prouder a monk was, the less they wanted outer power to protect themselves.
Wang Xu felt lucky now. “Thank God I asked my father to carve defense godly engravings, otherwise, I would’ve been killed. I don’t have as sturdy of a body as Zhan Yan.”
However, after the destructive power from the Hundred Step No Lives Rune, Wang Xu’s godly engravings became dimmer.
A God didn’t want his son to rely on godly engravings too much, so he didn’t carve any permanent godly engravings, and besides, the engravings could only ward off ninety percent of attack power.
Aside from Wang Xu, Zhan Xu, and the other six people closest to Zhang Ruochen, there were also seventeen other monks from the Evil Way a thousand feet away from Zhang Ruochen who got killed by the rune.
Dozens of monks from the Evil Way got injured.
The rune was way stronger than Tiangang Purple Fire Rune, and Zhang Ruochen lured Wang Xu, Zhan Yu, Mr. Mu, Mrs. Mu, and the Song siblings to his side, and then he crushed the Yin and Yang Palace again.
“Hundred Step No Lives Rune. It’s a Hundred Step No Lives Rune. How did Zhang Ruochen get a rune like that?”
“Hundred Step No Lives Rune? I heard only Taoist King Tome had that kind of runes, and there’re only around ten Hundred Step No Lives Runes in the world.”
“Almost no monks under supreme saints can afford a Hundred Step No Lives Rune. How did Zhang Ruochen get so many saint stones to buy a Hundred Step No Lives Rune? Who sold it to him?”
…
Shang Ziyan suddenly looked cold. He said, “You Taoist people are being preposterous. Did you use the Hundred Step No Lives Rune to trigger bloodshed? I’ll summon some Death God Arrival Runes to Truth Godly Domain.”
The man in the Taoist cape said, “That Hundred Step No Lives Rune has nothing to do with Taoist Sect.”
Shang Ziyan always had a good temper, but just now, he almost lost control, which showed how angry he was.
“Nothing to do with Taoist Sect? Do you really think Guanghan Field can manage to get a Hundred Step No Lives Rune? Or do you think Zhang Ruochen himself can afford a Hundred Step No Lives Rune? Besides, nobody will be willing to sell a Hundred Step No Lives Rune.
Shang Ziyan didn’t believe what the man in Taoist cape said at all. He stood up and prepared to head back to the Yin and Yang Palace.
Who knew how many runes Zhang Ruochen had obtained?
Even if Shang Ziyan wouldn’t go capture Zhang Ruochen himself, he had to head back and tell Qiong Ling to stop trying to capture Zhang Ruochen alive and that they could kill Zhang Ruochen when necessary so that they wouldn’t be tricked by Zhang Ruochen again.
The man in the Taoist cape smiled and said, “I’ve set up Four Symbols God-Sealing Formation around this observatory. Neither of us can get out of here. Stay and play chess with me. Remember, keep calm.”
“Damn it.”
Shang Ziyan took out a saint lamp, infused the lamp with his saint power, and triggered the Six Yao Complete Power of the saint lamp, dashing toward the night screen.
The light coming out of the saint lamp became brighter and brighter like a sun.
Boom!
The phantoms of the four divine beasts around the observatory became larger and larger, ascending from the four directions, warding off the saint lamp.
Shang Ziyan frowned, retracted his saint lamp, and was rendered speechless.
After a long while, Shang Ziyan smiled as he thought of something. He sat back to across from the man in the Taoist cape and said, “Okay. I’ll stay here to play chess with you. Let’s see whether Zhang Ruochen can hold them off with a couple of runes or not.”
Seeing Shang Ziyan’s smile, the man in the Taoist cape got confused.
Had Shang Ziyan figured out who was helping Zhang Ruochen and that he only had a limited number of runes?
