Chapter 2297: The Power of Golden Wings

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhang Ruochen had caused such a huge commotion that it shook his entire clan planet.
In the Yellowsky Continent
Lady Wind wore a golden mask and displayed a noble temperament. Her tall figure stood by the churning bloody sea looking up at the sky.
Although Zhang Ruochen stood thousands of miles up in the sky, the energy waves that erupted from his body caused the sea on his clan’s planet to behave erratically. There were tsunamis and hurricanes, and blood-red light beams flying through the sky.
Yan Beijun looked at the rolling blood clouds in the sky with unconcealed terror, “How can he be so powerful if he had just broken through to the Hundred-Shackle Realm... And how can the ten golden wings on Zhang Ruochen transform? The blood-red lines on the golden wings are very similar to the legendary Divine Marks of the progenitors.”
There was a legend among the Immortal Vampires that anyone among the cultivators who could awaken the Divine Marks of the progenitors on their wings was the descendants favored by them. They would be blessed with great luck and an extraordinary future.
Every time such a cultivator appeared, the Fane of Immortality would appear and guide them inside to hone their cultivation.
The appearance of the Divine Marks of the progenitors was not only a symbol of power and talent but also of extraordinary significance.
“Zhang Ruochen must have awakened the bloodline of Progenitor Bloodximius. His aura is very ancient and can exert a great spiritual suppression on the Immortal Vampires.” Lady Wind said with a smile in her eyes.
The more outstanding and powerful Zhang Ruochen was, the more advantageous it would be for her.
Only in this way could Zhang Ruochen become the sharpest weapon in her hands against Pan Ruo and Supreme Saint Yanhong.
Yan Beijun said, “Throughout history, all the cultivators who could awaken the progenitor’s bloodline were born with pure blood. Zhang Ruochen’s mother may be a deity, but she is a concubine with an impure bloodline. Furthermore, Zhang Ruochen is only a half Immortal Vampire. How could he be favored by Progenitor Bloodximius?”
“Zhang Ruochen talents are practically unseen before. He’s a person who can create miracles,” Lady Wind replied.
Not far away, there was a tall and sturdy man who radiated saint light.
His long hair was disheveled, and the muscles on his chest, abdomen, and arms bulged. They shone with a metallic luster. He was the Stone Clan’s Supreme Saint that has achieved the Great Perfection of the Hundred-Shackle Realm, the Mad Whitejade Lion.
Hearing Lady Wind praise Zhang Ruochen, the Mad Whitejade Lion felt a strong sense of jealousy, and he grunted. “It’s still unknown whether he has awakened the progenitor’s bloodline or not. Besides, he has just broken through to the Hundred-Shackle Realm. No matter how strong he is, how strong can he be? I’d like to meet him and measure his strength.”
Under the golden mask, Lady Wind’s sparkling red lips curled up slightly. She didn’t stop the White Jade Mad Lion.
She was also curious about how strong Zhang Ruochen was.
When they were fighting for the Saintwill Pill, Zhang Ruochen had hit Supreme Saint Yanhong so hard that blood flew from her mouth. Although there was an element of surprise in that palm, it was a truly glorious accomplishment in battle.
It was enough to make even the top ten Great Perfection elites of the Hundred-Shackle Realm wary and not underestimate him.
Now that Zhang Ruochen had reached the Hundred-Shackle Realm, how strong was he?
Zhang Ruochen’s blood boiled violently. A strong bloodthirsty impulse repeatedly attacked his consciousness. He wished he could drink up all the seawater in the blood-red sea below.
The Mystic Eye of Myriad Realms hovered above the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting, and it just so happened to reflect Zhang Ruochen’s current image. It projected the scene onto the various planets in Infernal Court and also onto the Battlefield of Merits.
Kunlun cultivators were all shocked to see Zhang Ruochen’s ferocious and evil appearance.
The cultivators who had been on good terms with Zhang Ruochen felt a tremor in their hearts. They felt that Zhang Ruochen had become unfamiliar and terrifying.
“Something must have happened to my master. How did he become like this?” Han Xue frowned deeply. She was worried for Zhang Ruochen and felt that his current state was extremely abnormal.
Shangguan Que sighed deeply. “He must have fused with his previous body, and the bloodline of the Immortal Vampires has finally fully shown itself.”
...
Zhang Ruochen used his strong will to suppress his bloodthirsty impulse. He looked closely. Six figures had appeared in the void not far from him. They all emitted the aura of an elite Hundred-Shackle Supreme Saint.
Roar
The Mad Whitejade Lion let out a lion-like roar that formed into sound waves and spread out towards Zhang Ruochen.
“Zhang Ruochen, let’s spar. I really want to know how strong the so-called Yuanhui grade genius is.”
Regardless of whether Zhang Ruochen had agreed or not, the Mad Whitejade Lion clenched its claws and pounced forward. Instantly, two claw prints of a few dozens of miles long appeared in the void and flew towards Zhang Ruochen.
The two lion claws instantly surpassed the speed of sound.
The Mad Whitejade Lion wasn’t just jealous. He wanted to test Zhang Ruochen’s strength. Thus, it used all of his strength to strike out the claw attacks which were high-level Saint Techniques of the Hundred-Shackle Realm.
Lion King’s Heaven Chaos Attack.
The dense precepts interweaved tightly in the two claw prints, and the strong force caused the void to cave inwards.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes darkened as if they had turned into two sharp swords.
Who did you think you were to do as you please?
If it were Lord Xia Yu or Gu Chenzi, Zhang Ruochen would not be angry, and happily spar with them. But who are you to me, the Mad Whitejade Lion. Do I know you very well?
By attacking without permission it could already be judged as a malicious attack on your opponent. As long as Zhang Ruochen was willing, he only needed to send a consciousness signal to the Mystic Eye of Myriad Realms, and 5,000 points would be deducted from the Mad Whitejade Lion.
However, Zhang Ruochen did not do that.
Since he had broken through to the Hundred-Shackle Realm, he was going to find someone to practice with. Although the Mad Whitejade Lion was only ranked 33rd on the list of Hundred-Shackle Realm Great Perfections, it was still acceptable.
Whoosh
Zhang Ruochen spread his ten wings flat, emitting a dazzling golden light. He turned into a streak of light and flew directly toward the Mad Whitejade Lion.
Bang! Bang!
The golden wings and the two giant lion claws collided, and the claws were torn apart as if they were bubbles.
The Hundred-Shackle grade high-level Saint Technique, “Lion King’s Heaven Chaos Attack” was easily broken by the golden wings.
Seeing this, all the cultivators present were shocked. Zhang Ruochen’s ten golden wings were too terrifying. They were stronger than the Hundred-Shackle grade high-level Saint Technique, and even seemed to be tougher than the Regal Artifacts.
The ten wings flew toward the Mad Whitejade Lion like knives.
The Mad Whitejade Lion’s expression was extremely grave. He stared at the rapidly approaching Zhang Ruochen and immediately activated a crimson iron ring on its wrist. Instantly, hundreds of thousands of Regal Inscriptions appeared.
It was a Class Four Regal Artifact.
The iron ring spun rapidly and became 330 feet in diameter. It released a powerful aura of death.
Boom
Zhang Ruochen’s body tilted slightly. The five golden wings on his left slashed at the iron ring, and a piercing sound of metal colliding rang out. A large number of sparks flew out.
The iron ring was knocked back.
Zhang Ruochen’s body stopped in mid-air for a moment. Following that, he flapped his ten wings strongly and flew at an extremely fast speed zig-zagging towards the Mad Whitejade Lion.
On the planet, many Supreme Saints of the Neverwilt Realm couldn’t see clearly Zhang Ruochen’s face. They could only see the unpredictable golden light streaks flying rapidly.
Compared to before, Zhang Ruochen’s speed was much faster now.
His speed had increased with his cultivation. More importantly, the Divine Shadow Will of the Progenitor Bloodximius had merged with the golden wings. This allowed Zhang Ruochen’s ten golden wings to unleash explosive bursts of unparalleled speed.
It was like the innate higher knowledge power of the beast’s bloodline inheritance.
The Mad Whitejade Lion’s nerves were stretched to the extreme. It released all of its spiritual power and shrank it to a radius of 10,000 feet to capture Zhang Ruochen’s figure while striking out constantly with the iron ring.
It could only passively defend.
Bang
A deafening collision sound resembling a clap of thunder rang in the sky above the planet.
With each collision, the Mad Whitejade Lion would be knocked backward for a long distance. After dozens of collisions, he was flustered and shocked beyond words, and thought to himself, “Are Zhang Ruochen’s golden wings harder than the Class Four Regal Artifact?”
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen stopped his attack and stood in the air.
The Mad Whitejade Lion let out a long sigh of relief. No matter what, he managed to block Zhang Ruochen’s attacks and had gained a general understanding of Zhang Ruochen’s strength.
He couldn’t fight anymore.
If he fought again, he would most likely lose.
Zhang Ruochen, who had reached the Hundred-Shackle Realm, was indeed terrifying.
“He has just broken through to the Hundred-Shackle Realm, and he could already fight equally with me. He is indeed worthy of being a favorite on par with Yan Wushen, and I admire him.” Mad Whitejade Lion spoke neutrally.
The cultivators of the Immortal Vampires who were watching the battle nodded slightly, acknowledging Zhang Ruochen’s strength.
“To be able to fight equally with the Mad Whitejade Lion, Zhang Ruochen’s battle strength is enough to rank within the top five of the Immortal Vampires. It seems that he really has the strength to injure the Supreme Saint Yanhong and it was not merely a lucky blow.”
“No matter what, the Bloodysky Clan has another top elite. Together with Lord Xia Yu and Supreme Saint Yi Xuan, both of which had achieved the Hundred-Shackle Great Perfection, the Bloodysky Clan’s strength makes them the first among the top ten clans.”
...
While everyone was discussing animatedly, Zhang Ruochen snorted coldly. “It was not a tie, I was just testing the toughness of the golden wings. Do you think you are qualified to be my opponent?”
“What did you say?” the Mad Whitejade Lion asked.
Zhang Ruochen did not answer him. He turned into a streak of golden light and flew out again with an even faster speed.
Even with the Mad Whitejade Lion’s eyesight, it was difficult to track him.
Whoosh
The iron ring flew out. It tried to knock Zhang Ruochen back like before.
However, this time, Zhang Ruochen did not meet it head-on. He only turned his body to the side and flew over the iron ring. Then he flew straight towards the Mad Whitejade Lion.
“Such speed.”
The Mad Whitejade Lion’s expression changed greatly. He spread his arms and transformed them into a pair of pure white divine lion claws. His human head transformed into a huge lion head.
Zhang Ruochen flew above the Mad Whitejade Lion’s head. The five golden wings on his left slashed down like five demonic sabers.
The Mad Whitejade Lion raised its claws above its head and released huge amounts of Saint Light.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The five wings continuously slashed down, causing the Mad Whitejade Lion’s body to plummet from the sky. He felled to the ground from a height of a thousand miles and caused a ridge of mountains to collapse, which revealed a huge pit with a diameter of a hundred miles.
The pit was so deep that the bottom could not be seen.
Following that, Zhang Ruochen suppressed the Class Four Regal Artifact iron ring and flew to the sky above the pit.
The Mad Whitejade Lion climbed up from the rubble at the bottom of the pit. White blood flowed out of its mouth and five deep cuts could be seen on his jade-like arms which were accompanied by multiple cracks.
With his Sacred Imperial Jade’s hard physical quality, how could his arms be almost crippled by Zhang Ruochen’s golden wings?
“Is he really that strong?”
The Mad Whitejade Lion did not dare to fight anymore. If he continued fighting, his arms would be wasted.
Once his arms were broken, he wouldn’t be able to recover for the Celestial-Hunting battle.
He looked up and his face froze. He saw that Zhang Ruochen was using the Divine Purification Flame to refine his Class Four Regal Artifact, the Thousand Dipper Ring.
This Regal Artifact didn’t belong to him. It was given to him by a deity from the Stone Clan before he attended the Celestial-Hunting Festival.
The Celestial-Hunting Festival had just begun not long ago, but his weapon had already been taken away. He would become a laughingstock of the Stone Clan. That deity would be very disappointed in him.
“Zhang Ruochen, we’re just sparring. Why did you take my weapon?”
The Mad Whitejade Lion flew out of the pit and glared at Zhang Ruochen with gritted teeth. For the moment, he did not dare to take it directly out of his hands but instead tried to reason with him
If he could not win, the only option was to try and reason with him.
“Since when are we sparring?”
Zhang Ruochen continued to refine the Thousand Dipper Ring.
When he came to the Celestial-Hunting Festival, he only had a Violet Gourd, which was far from enough. This Thousand Dipper Ring could even be used as a defensive weapon. It had to be said that the various clans regarded the Celestial-Hunting Festival with importance as high-grade weapons could be obtained from it.
Taking one was equivalent to taking a large number of Godstones.
A bold idea suddenly appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s mind.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Two streaks of blood light flew down from the sky.
Lady Wind and Yan Beijun hadn’t expected that the Mad Whitejade Lion, a majestic Great Perfection Hundred-Shackle elite, would be defeated so quickly.
They immediately went back to the ground to witness this scene.
Zhang Ruochen had snatched the Mad Whitejade Lion’s war weapon and was still refining it. He had no intention of returning it. The Mad Whitejade Lion was furious. He pointed at Zhang Ruochen and cursed him loudly, but did not dare to attack him.
Both of them were stunned.
They were shocked that Zhang Ruochen would be so merciless. After all, Mad Whitejade Lion and Lady Wind were allies.. They were surprised that the usually hot-tempered Mad Whitejade Lion could be restrained.
