Chapter 1957: Hunting in the Null Dimension
A peculiar smile formed on Zhang Ruochen’s face after he killed Huo Nu with his sword.
He kept Huo Nu’s body as he knew Huo Nu had many things on his body. He would search the body when he had time.
“Saint Monk Xumi was very smart indeed. He must have foreseen that I would come here.” He broke into an even bigger smile as he looked at the Secret Tome of Time and Space in his hands.
The strange energy that entered the Secret Tome of Time and Space was seriously unusual. It came from Saint Monk Xumi, and it contained an enormous number of Precepts of Time and Dimension, which could help him comprehend the Path of Time and Space.
More importantly, after the energy entered the Secret Tome of Time and Space, he could use it to move freely in the Null Dimension, and even perform his Sword of Time.
This way, he would be practically invincible in the Null Dimension. He could easily attack others, but others would find it hard to attack him.
“Let’s hunt!”
While he muttered, he glanced over at those Deathkin fighters.
The Deathkin were the ones he wanted to deal with first.
Using the Secret Tome of Time and Space, he came up behind a Heaven’s Reach Deathkin fighter and performed a Dragon-Elephant Prajna Palm Strike, crushing his skull and annihilating his saint soul.
He had learned to pick his battles. To kill the Deathkins, he chose those who were weaker first, then slowly going up the rank.
Top fighters like Yuanmo Shenzi and Chixing Shenzi were not so easy to deal with, even with the Secret Tome of Time and Space. The difference in strength between him and them was a little too great.
It did not take long before he killed seven of the thirty-one Deathkin.
There were a few more weaklings on the Deathkin’s side, but they were the opponents of the Blackdemon Realm cultivators, the two Fatals of the Fane of Youshen, and Red Fox King. He couldn’t care less to help them. So he left them to it.
“What is going on? Why is Zhang Ruochen’s movement not restricted?”
It shocked the Deathkin and the Celestial Court fighters to see seven Deathkins had died in succession.
“You have a death wish, Zhang Ruochen?”
Yuanmo Shenzi’s eyes looked bitter.
As his Demonic Spear vibrated, tens of thousands of Supreme Inscriptions appeared. The Supreme Power seemed about to cut the Null Dimension in half.
Yuanmo Shenzi’s movement suddenly sped up as he charged at Zhang Ruochen with the Demonic Spear.
It was a Supreme Artifact, after all. It possessed an extraordinary power that not even the Null Dimension could completely restrain.
Pan Ruo was also making her move at the same time. She propped up the Gate of Destiny and performed a Path of Destiny. A Light of Destiny hit a Blackdemon fighter, unaffected by the Null Dimension.
This Blackdemon fighter appeared fine on the outside, but his saint soul had been shattered by the Light of Destiny.
Following immediately, Pan Ruo performed another three beams of Lights of Destiny aimed at none other than the other Blackdemon fighters.
Two Blackdemon fighters met the same fate as the first one, their saint souls shattering as they died violently.
Meanwhile, You Yuexin was the strongest among the three, and she had a mysterious item on her body. She was badly wounded but would live.
“How dare you!”
Seeing the death of three Blackdemon fighters and a wounded You Yuexin, Xuanyuan Liekong was furious and immediately swung into action.
In everyone’s eyes, Pan Ruo’s killing of the Blackdemon fighters was a revenge for Zhang Ruochen’s killing of seven Deathkin fighters.
If no one stopped her, and with Pan Ruo’s mysterious Path of Destiny, more Celestial Realm fighters would be killed.
You Yuexin’s face looked grim. This time, five Blackdemon fighters had come to Northern Region trying to make a name for themselves. Little did she expect after a battle, she was the only one left.
Shi Lingkun was out of his depth. He was killed by the God-Eater Bugs under Pan Ru control when he tried to snatch the compass.
What about the other four, though? They had not offended Pan Ruo, yet they became her target. Did Pan Ruo take it out on them because of Shi Lingkun?
No matter how furious she was, she could do nothing about Pan Ruo because she was no match for Pan Ruo.
If not for Xuanyuan Liekong’s intervention, she would have died.
Had they known it earlier, they would have not come into the Null Dimension.
Meanwhile, with the help of the Secret Tome of Time and Space, Zhang Ruochen moved with light steps as he dodged Yuanmo Shenzi’s multiple attacks.
As the Secret Tome of Time and Space unfolded, silverish light turned into multiple dimensions to engulf Zhang Ruochen and Yuanmo Shenzi.
“Dimensional Freeze!”
With the tap of his hand in the air, Zhang Ruochen released a Power of Dimension to freeze the silverish dimension where Yuanmo Shenzi was.
He could not perform any dimensional techniques inside the Null Dimension. But once inside the multiple dimensions formed by the Secret Tome of Time and Space, his hands were free and his power became higher.
“Break!”
Yuanmo Shenzi roared as 90-million Precepts appeared on his body with a burst of powerful energy.
Dimensional Freeze did not work. Even the silverish dimension trapping Yuanmo Shenzi had also shattered.
Yet, he had just broken one layer. There were still tens of layers of outer dimension that still kept him in.
Zhang Ruochen did not stop but continued to perform his dimensional techniques. He even cast out the Azuresky Pagoda at Yuanmo Shenzi.
But Yuanmo Shenzi was so powerful that no attack could get to him.
Boom!
Yuanmo Shenzi used his Demonic Spear and triggered an immense amount of Supreme Power. He finally broke through the multiple dimensions.
Not bad for a Deathkin, one of the top ten younger generation fighters. He had got some skill. Zhang Ruochen was impressed.
If Yuanmo Shenzi were to summon the Precepts of Heaven and Earth and his Supreme Artifact was not restrained on the outside world, he would have been an even more terrifying opponent. Even with the use of the Secret Tome of Time and Space, Zhang Ruochen would have a hard time suppressing him for even a while.
Knowing how nasty Yuanmo Shenzi was, Zhang Ruochen did not want to mess with him. He turned to target other Deathkins. The four fighters from the Blackdemon Realm would make a perfect target.
Yuanmo Shenzi was following close behind, yet he could not stop Zhang Ruochen from killing his men.
Inside the Null Dimension, the Deathkin fighters could not perform at their best. It was because of this that Zhang Ruochen could kill them easily.
Another four Deathkins died at the hands of Zhang Ruochen. They could not even flee.
Right now, everyone was deep inside the Null Dimension. It was too late to turn back, even if they wanted to leave.
The ratio between the two sides changed with 20 people on the Deathkin’s side and 23 on the Celestial Court’s side.
Zhang Ruochen moved like a flash and came beside Red Fox King. He performed a Sword of Time to strike Red Fox King’s opponent.
Not that he was helping Red Fox King on purpose. He was just passing by and did so as a matter of convenience.
When Sword of Time struck, it would kill.
As powerful as Red Fox King’s opponent was, he still could not get away from being killed by Sword of Time.
While Zhang Ruochen was dealing with that Deathkin, a murderous intent rose in Red Fox King’s eyes and he hit Zhang Ruochen on his back with a palm strike.
His palm was on fire with hundreds of thousands of fire-type Precepts and the same number of Precepts of the Palm. Together, they formed a crush-all red sacred furnace.
Sure enough!
There was a cold look in his eyes when Zhang Ruochen sensed the danger.
The Secret Tome of Time and Space unfolded to form into multiple dimensions and kept Red Fox King inside.
With multiple dimensional techniques performed, the sacred furnace of Red Fox King shattered and dissipated completely.
“How did you…”
Red Fox King was shocked.
He thought his surprise attack would work, but he did not expect Zhang Ruochen to come prepared. He had missed.
Without waiting for Red Fox King to finish, Zhang Ruochen closed the Secret Tome of Time and Space back up and Red Fox King was sealed inside the tome, becoming a portrait.
Now Zhang Ruochen was happy that Feng Wuxing had warned him beforehand. Or else Red Fox King would have got him.
Red Fox King might not be able to kill him with his palm, but wounding him would cause great trouble to him.
Many thoughts came to mind, but Zhang Ruochen did not stop. Yuanmo Shenzi was coming at him.
“Zhang Ruochen!”
Yuanmo Shenzi’s face looked grim. He was burning in anger.
However, he stopped pursuing Zhang Ruochen halfway. He knew that if he were to use the power of the Demonic Spear, it was going to over exhaust him.
Besides, he also knew that as quick as he could move, he still could not catch up with Zhang Ruochen.
The Null Dimension was like a pond, and Zhang Ruochen was a fish that swam freely in the water. No matter how good he could swim, no way he could out-swim a fish.
Not to mention that if staying in the water would burn him out, and he would drown.
“Let’s kill those Deathkins together!”
Zheng Yuan called out as he started to attack.
It was the best time to strike, as the Deathkins had been demoralized.
If they could buy Zhang Ruochen some time, no matter how powerful those Shenzis and Ladies were, they would be killed eventually.
It seemed like this Null Dimension was a tailored-made battlefield for Zhang Ruochen.
The Celestial Court fighters launched an attack on the Deathkins with no hesitation.
However, there was one person who did not go attack the Deathkin. Instead, this person was moving closer toward the trunk of the Divine Sky-Connecting Tree.
“Fight all you want. This tree is mine!” Ten-Eyed Qiankun Insect looked greedily at the Divine Sky-Connecting Tree.
A glow appeared on his forehead along with a beautiful, quaint jade jar. The surface of the jade jar was engraved with esoteric patterns. A dimensional energy released from these mysterious patterns could affect the Null Dimension slightly.
This jar was an artifact that he stumbled upon in the Kunlun Realm. It had a dimension inside, which he believed could keep the Divine Sky-Connecting Tree in.
Once inside the jade jar, those God-Eater Bugs inside the Divine Sky-Connecting Tree were not going to pose any threat.
“What makes you think you could take the Divine Sky-Connecting Tee? Don’t be naïve.”
Pan Ruo spoke behind him just as he was about to trigger his jade jar.
At this time, Yuanmo Shenzi had replaced Pan Ruo and was now engaging Xuanyuan Liekong.
Ten-Eyed Qiankun Insect was shocked. He cast out a talisman that glowed in a divine light as he spun around.
“Go to hell!”
It was Cang Long who gave him this talisman to use it against Zhang Ruochen. But he now used it on Pan Ruo in time of emergency.
If he could kill the Lady candidate of the Fane of Destiny, he would make a name for himself, and the value of this talisman would be even higher.
Pan Ruo appeared calm. The golden Buddha light radiating on her body formed into a golden lotus flower that wrapped around her.
Boom!
As the talisman released thousands of runes, lightning formed in the thousands and struck Pan Ruo.
Each bolt of lightning was so powerful that it could shatter a higher-order Thousand-Inscription Sacred Artifact, but not the golden lotus petals that wrapped around Pan Ruo.
The golden lotus flower looked like a real Buddhist artifact, made of gold, indestructible and would not decay.
