Chapter 2358 The Last Seal
The Taiji Mark spun rapidly, emitting five-colored saint light.
Five different powerful forces surged within. Like a Doomsday Millstone, they could crush everything in the world.
Zhang Ruochen was confident that he could compete with a Supreme Saint at the pinnacle of the Thousand-Koan Realm with this attack.
Even if it was as powerful as Kagemaru, when it hit the Taiji Mark, it was pulled in by the spiral Qi contained in the mark. The sword’s direction was shifted.
However, soon, 16 billion Precepts burst out from the sword. With a loud bang, the Taiji Mark was broken.
Boom
The Incarceration of Divine Demon was also pierced through by the sword.
Kagemaru was like a beam of light. It passed through the huge Divine Demon’s shadow and stabbed straight at Zhang Ruochen, who was floating in the center of the shadow.
Zhang Ruochen did not panic amid a life-or-death situation. Instead, his thoughts were unmistakable.
Zhang Ruochen did not understand enough about Que.
However, Zhang Ruochen understood his own power very well.
With the 3.6 billion Precepts that Zhang Ruochen had cultivated, it was easy for him to defeat other Supreme Saints at the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm. Zhang Ruochen did not think much of the Thousand-Koan Realm Supreme Saints who had cultivated more than ten billion Precepts and had already transformed into Path.
Because the more Precepts, the better. One had to know how to use them exquisitely.
But Que also knew how to use the Precepts in the best way. The number of Precepts was many times more than Zhang Ruochen’s. It could be said that Zhang Ruochen knew that he would lose without a doubt before the battle even started.
He might even die.
However, Que had made a fatal mistake.
He should not have given Zhang Ruochen the chance to use his strongest attack when Yan Wushen was still alive and Lan Ying’s life was uncertain.
He was too conceited!
The conceit was the biggest weakness of all geniuses and powerful people.
Zhang Ruochen had the opportunity to save his life and change the outcome today because of Que’s error.
As long as Zhang Ruochen could block Que’s sword, even if it was only for a short time, Yan Wushen and Lan Ying would seize the opportunity to give Que a fatal blow.
When Que attacked with all his strength, his defense would be at its weakest.
Zhang Ruochen’s challenge was to see if he could block Kagemaru for a split second. The outcome, their life and death, their success and failure, all depended on this split second.
Yan Wushen stood on the ground in the distance and his neck wound had healed.
Yan Wushen’s eyes burned like fire as he watched the shadow of the Divine Demon collapse. Kagemaru was getting closer and closer to Zhang Ruochen, he couldn’t help but say, “Zhang Ruochen, no matter what, you can’t die under Que’s sword. Otherwise, I will regret it for the rest of my life. You must die under my palm if you want to die.”
Boom
Yan Wushen’s palms collided. His body shone with a peerless golden light again. His golden body grew bigger and bigger, transforming into Golden Giant Mode.
Inside the golden body, there were thousands of Buddha chants, and the sound of Buddha was like thunder.
A Spatial Wormhole Mirror appeared in front of him. He was ready to cross space and attack at any time. Even though it was very dangerous to walk through the Spatial Wormhole Mirror in this world full of Path Locks, he wasn’t afraid at all.
After Lan Ying’s body exploded, he turned into a colorful and chaotic light fog and filled the world.
At this moment, all the chaotic light fog started rolling. Like boiling water, energy tides burst out.
Of course, Que knew that Lan Ying was probably not dead. He also knew that Yan Wushen would definitely attack.
Therefore, Que didn’t just want to kill Zhang Ruochen. He wanted to lure Lan Ying and Yan Wushen to attack and kill them too. Otherwise, if Lan Ying, Yan Wushen, and Zhang Ruochen wanted to escape, he could only kill one person at most.
If Que wanted to kill, he had to kill all of them.
Kagemaru finally broke through all of Zhang Ruochen’s defenses, and the tip of the sword hit the bottom of Zhang Ruochen’s left foot.
If any other cultivator faced such a threat, he would most likely perish, even if his cultivation had advanced to the Banshi Isshou Realm.
However, Zhang Ruochen’s leg was not ordinary. It was a divine leg.
Whoosh
His entire left leg turned golden in an instant. 10 million crimson Divine Marks of Flame appeared. A large number of divine flames surged out from his foot and clashed with Kagemaru. It suppressed the sword’s momentum for a moment.
At that moment.
Yan Wushen stepped into the Spatial Wormhole Mirror and appeared beside Kagemaru in an instant. He struck out with all his strength.
Although Que had merged with Kagemaru and seemed to be one with the sword, he was still injured.
However, as long as Yan Wushen hit him, it would still hurt Que.
“I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”
Que’s voice was heard.
Kagemaru, which had collided with Yanshen’s leg, changed its attack direction and slashed down vertically.
The sword tip reached the top of Yan Wushen’s head and wanted to split his body into two.
This was a premeditated killing sword!
Yan Wushen was obviously prepared. He demonstrated the adaptability and reaction speed of a peerless genius at this critical moment of life and death. He shouted, “Bridge of Vaitarna!”
An ancient stone bridge flew out from between his brows and collided with Kagemaru.
The Bridge of Vaitarna was not a Supreme Artifact, but a stone bridge formed naturally from heaven and earth. It had been formed for tens of millions of years.
Legend had it that this bridge was once located in the distant dark starry sky between Celestial Court and Infernal Court. Although it was a bridge, it was connected to many worlds.
The bridge was hundreds of millions of miles long when it was fully opened. It has the potential to cross the galaxy and connect all worlds.
Later, many gods of the Yanluo clan worked together to take the Bridge of Vaitarna away.
Even with the power of the gods of the Yanluo Clan, they could not refine the Bridge of Vaitarna into an artifact. They only left a large number of secret engravings on the bridge. They could easily use the Bridge of Vaitarna as a weapon by controlling the secret engravings.
The Bridge of Vaitarna that flew out from Yan Wushen’s glabella was not its actual body, but a light shadow condensed from a secret art.
BOOM!
Kagemaru was indestructible and cut the Bridge of Vaitarna in half. The sword light landed on Yan Wushen’s body.
Yan Wushen turned around and jumped into the Spatial Wormhole Mirror.
Crack
The Spatial Wormhole Mirror appeared on the ground a hundred miles away. Yan Wushen rushed out and crashed heavily into the ground. His body was covered in blood and he was severely injured.
Que was also in great danger. When he was controlling Kagemaru and attacking Yan Wushen, Lan Ying rushed out with the Sword of Asura in his hand from the colorful and chaotic light fog.
Flames were burning in Lan Ying’s eyes, and the Sword of Asura in his hand was so red that it was dripping blood.

“Take my strongest move, World-destroyer Asura.”
With this attack, Lan Ying activated his Saintwill and released all the Precepts in his body. The Sword of Asura in his hand became extremely heavy. He held the hilt tightly with both hands and used all his strength to slash out.
The Asura world within a thousand miles turned completely red.
Boom
The Sword of Asura and Kagemaru collided heavily.
In an instant, Que reappeared. He held the hilt tightly and fought against Lan Ying.
In the end, Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen’s cultivation was still too low. Only Lan Ying was Que’s strongest enemy and the one who could threaten him the most.
The two held each sword in a stalemate.
On Lan Ying’s child-like face, a sinister smile appeared. He said, “Zhang Ruochen’s Incarceration of Divine Demon and Yan Wushen’s Bridge of Vaitarna have long exhausted your Saintwill’s power. You are now an arrow at the end of its flight. Rather than struggling, it’s better to save your energy to escape.”
Que didn’t say a word. His face was as grim as iron, and his eyes were sharp and fierce.
Lan Ying was right. Most of Que’s strongest sword power had been consumed by Zhang Ruochen’s Grade Two Saintwill and Incarceration of Divine Demon. However, there was also a strong Swordsmanship power that rushed into Zhang Ruochen’s left leg through the soles of his feet.
Zhang Ruochen’s left leg was a god’s leg. It could indeed burst out a strong power, but that power was not completely under his control.
Que’s sword attack contained a strong Power of Oblivion. It broke through the last seal that Moon Goddess had placed on Yanshen’s leg.
Suddenly, the divine power and divine flame, which were ten times stronger than before, gushed out crazily.
This power could only be controlled by comprehending the Divine Mark of Flame. However, Zhang Ruochen had only comprehended 10 million Divine Marks of Flame. After the seal was broken, the number of Divine Mark of Flame had reached 100 million.
Zhang Ruochen couldn’t possibly control it.
Zhang Ruochen’s plan was to wait until he had reached the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm before he could break the fourth seal that Moon Goddess had placed on the leg. Then, he would seclude himself for some time and slowly comprehend 100 million Divine Marks of Flame without anyone disturbing him, he would control all the divine power contained in the leg.
Zhang Ruochen’s plan was disrupted, and he fell into a desperate situation instead.
The divine flame in his left leg was raging uncontrollably. His flesh and blood were burned red like a hot iron. They glowed golden as if they were about to melt.
Zhang Ruochen tried his best to control 10 million Divine Marks of Flame to suppress the divine flame, but he failed.
The divine flame spread to his waist through his meridians, sainthood meridians, and blood vessels. His whole body gradually burned.
The Demigod-level physique was indeed powerful, but the divine flame was cultivated by Yanshen. It could be used to burn and refine gods. Wasn’t it easy to burn and refine a demigod?
Zhang Ruochen clenched his fists. His body was writhing in agony. The fire melted his meridians, sainthood meridians, and blood vessels. His body was turned into gold by the fire.
Even after suffering so much, Zhang Ruochen still didn’t give up. He struggled to activate the Heart of the Divine Tree and recover his melted body.
“Precepts of Water!” Zhang Ruochen called out.
In the Heavenly Stream, a large number of Precepts of Water rushed out of his sea of Qi to fight against the divine flame.
However, it was a drop in the bucket.
Tens of millions of Precepts of Water couldn’t stand up to the blazing divine flame.
The more dangerous the moment, the clearer Zhang Ruochen became. Suddenly, he thought and said, “Yin Yang five elements, Elemental Conversion.”
The power of the five elements countered each other.
Since Zhang Ruochen could transform the power of metal contained in the Apex Intergold Qi into water, fire, earth, and wood, he could transform the power of fire contained in the divine flame into metal, wood, water, and earth. With the conversion of the five elements.
Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes and let the divine flame burn his body. He cultivated the Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill and activated the Empyrean Emperor Ming’s Scripture.
In the distance, the green scale-covered mountain range raised a huge dragon head. On the top of the head, there was a swastika mark. “His body has integrated the Apex Intergold Qi. It seems that he has passed the Tiger’s preliminary test. He’s indeed a peerless hero. He actually thought of cultivating the Yin Yang five elements and achieved incredible results.” said the Swastika Seiryu.
The Swastika Seiryu had been paying attention to the battle between Zhang Ruochen and the other three. He was actually quite amazed. Their talents, minds, and methods were all Grade One.
He had waited here for 30,000 years and seen countless talents of the Yanluo Clan. However, there were only one or two who could reach the level of the four of them.
The Swastika Seiryu said, “It’s a pity that this kid’s body contains the power of the divine flame. It’s so powerful that he can’t control it. The five elements conversion was indeed a good method. Unfortunately, the divine flame was too powerful. The conversion speed couldn’t keep up with the refining speed of the body.
“It’s been 30,000 years here. I can’t sleep anymore. Since I’ve decided to come out, Tiger, you should come out with me!”
The Swastika Seiryu decided to help Zhang Ruochen. After all, if he was burned to death by the divine flame, the Intergold Tiger would lose its guide. Who knew how many years it would take before it could be born.
If one is to be born, both must be born together.
Just as Zhang Ruochen’s internal organs began to melt, a cool dragon-shaped Qi flow surged into his body.
This dragon-shaped Qi flow was the same as the energy released by the Heart of the Divine Tree. It was also of the wood element. It protected his body and bought him more time.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t have time to care about where this dragon-shaped Qi flow came from. He just greedily absorbed it. While recovering his burned body, he continued to activate the Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill to transform the divine flame.
Boom!
Inside his body, there was an explosion. It was the thirty-first shackle. The divine flame had shattered it.
Boom
A moment later, the thirty-second shackle was broken.
Lan Ying and Que’s swords collided. In the end, the Sword of Asura broke Kagemaru and slashed at Que’s chest, leaving a deep bloody scar.
Que’s body was almost broken into two.
Lan Ying laughed. “Now you know that the so-called Imperial Artifact of Precept is not as strong as you think, right?”
“You are too proud!” Que snorted.
The broken Kagemaru turned into dense Precepts, and soon, it condensed into a sword again.
Que ignored the wounds on his body and attacked with all his strength. He slashed out with his sword, and Lan Ying could only defend passively.
After more than two thousand strikes, Que broke through Lan Ying’s defense and pierced through his chest. The Power of Oblivion burst out, and Lan Ying’s chest became a transparent hole.
Lan Ying screamed and retreated quickly.
His speed was incomparable to Que’s. He was caught up in an instant.
“Slash!”
Que used another sword technique of Oblivion to cut into Lan Ying’s right arm.
His entire right arm was swallowed by oblivion and disappeared.
Lan Ying was shocked and scared. He looked around to find Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen. He was no match for Que alone. It was even difficult for him to escape.
Unfortunately, Yan Wushen disappeared after he fell to the ground with serious injuries.
Zhang Ruochen was hit by Que’s sword. His body burned up and he fell to the ground. A large area of golden land was burned into a lava lake. Most of them had died from self-immolation.
How could Que be so powerful? The three of them had failed miserably together.
Lan Ying had never accepted his fate. He had never been afraid of anything. But at this moment, he felt a trace of despair. It was not because of Que, but because of oblivion.
No matter how strong Que was, if he had not mastered the Path of Oblivion, he would definitely not be able to do anything to him.
Que followed closely behind Lan Ying, he said, “Aren’t you the Spirit of Slaughter? Don’t you have an undying body? I want to see what will happen when the nine-colored chaotic qi and the Qi of Slaughter in your body completely turn into oblivion.”
