God Emperor-Chapter 2536 - A Storm Was Brewing

Chapter 2536: A Storm Was Brewing

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Eighteen Six-Tribulation Ghost Lords carried the Sevenstar Imperial Palace. They swaggered down the magnificent streets of the Royal City of Hundred Clans. Ghost Qi filled the sky, and their momentum soared to the sky. Wherever they passed, countless cultivators surrounded and watched.

“Zhang Ruochen has entered the city!”

Zhang Ruochen entered the city in a high-profile manner.

Communication talismans spread out like a meteor shower.

After the Battle of Celestial-Hunting, Zhang Ruochen was already a famous figure worldwide. Born in the Infernal Court, one could not know who the twelve Reverends of the Fane of Destiny were. However, no one did not know who Zhang Ruochen was.

This was not bragging!

In terms of fame, in terms of recognition among the ordinary cultivators, who could be compared to Zhang Ruochen, who had to perform a massacre on the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting?

Zhang Ruochen went to Hoth to keep a low profile because he knew that Hoth was a chaotic place. If he died there, it would be difficult for the Xue Jue Family to find out who did it.

He came to the Royal City of Hundred Clans to be high-profile because he knew clearly that there were three gods in the city before he reached.

The three gods were from the Yakshas, the Wulvers, and the Pyroghost Clan.

These three clans were small compared to the ten great clans, but they were the three most powerful clans out of the 137 small clans that made up the Royal City of Hundred Clans.

Zhang Ruochen’s identity was exceptional. He was the grandson of Wargod Bloodximius, Luo Yan’s son-in-law, and the Shadow of Fukurokuju. It would be very troublesome if a God killed him in the Royal City of Hundred Clans.

After returning from the Jadeite Realm, it would be strange if Wargod Bloodximius didn’t turn the Royal City of Hundred Clans upside down.

So, knowing that Asurendra Samay wanted to kill him, Zhang Ruochen entered the Royal City of Hundred Clans in a high-profile manner and let all cultivators see that he was in the city. If Asurendra Samay wanted to kill him, the gods in the Royal City of Hundred Clans would protect him.

On the other hand, if Zhang Ruochen sneaked into the city, even if he was killed, the gods in the Royal City of Hundred Clans could turn a blind eye and pretend that they didn’t know anything.

Zhang Ruochen was using the power of the three gods to protect himself.

It couldn’t be helped. It’s a pity they were from a small clan, and Zhang Ruochen had a powerful background and an unreasonable grandfather. No one could afford to offend him, so they could only treat him as a lord.

Wherever Zhang Ruochen went, chaos would always lead to bloodshed. Even cultivators at the edge of the Infernal Court knew about it.

Because of Zhang Ruochen’s arrival, all the Royal City of Hundred Clans clans had headaches.

In fact, when the Light of Origin appeared in the Royal City of Hundred Clans, they had already begun to have headaches. However, Zhang Ruochen’s arrival made them even more troubled!

A peerless woman, followed by a group of veiled saintesses, gracefully arrived in front of the Sevenstar Imperial Palace.

The woman in the lead could be said to be peerless in appearance and figure. She also had an extraordinary immortal charm.

She bowed slightly to the Sevenstar Imperial Palace. She said pleasantly, “Xue Lai of the Sengens has come to escort Young Master Ruochen to the Sengens’ sacred ground on our Emperor’s order.”

There was no response from the Sevenstar Imperial Palace.

The 18 Six-Tribulation Ghost Lords seemed unable to see them as they walked forward.

They had no choice but to retreat to the sides.

The veiled saintesses all had looks of disgust in their eyes. They felt that this Ruochen Supreme Saint was too cold and arrogant. He actually treated the Sengens as nothing. Furthermore, his actions were equivalent to humiliating Princess Xue Lai.

A handsome man in a black robe descended from the sky and appeared in front of the Sevenstar Imperial Palace. 108 rays of evil light on his body, and he had a great bearing. He raised his voice and said, “I’m Han Ailian from the Yakshas. Our goddess Jadea is my master. She would like to invite Young Master Ruochen to the Yaksha sacred ground.”

The Sevenstar Imperial Palace still ignored him and continued forward.

There was an uproar on the long street.

“Han Ailian is a famous figure in the Royal City of Hundred Clans. He’s one of the seven lords of the Yaksha. How can Zhang Ruochen ignore him? How can he be so arrogant?”

“This Yuanhui level genius really knows how to put on airs. Does he want the clan leader or god to personally invite him?”

“He’s indeed arrogant. He’s only in the Hundred-Shackle Realm.”

…

Five days after Zhang Ruochen entered the city, cultivators from all forces went to invite or pay their respects. However, there was no response from the Sevenstar Imperial Palace. They all ended awkwardly.

Those who were well-mannered just smiled helplessly.

Those with bad tempers cursed directly. They even had the urge to overturn the Sevenstar Imperial Palace.

The 18 Six-Tribulation Ghost Lords acted as if they had no feelings or thoughts. They followed Zhang Ruochen’s instructions and walked forward step by step. They ignored the cultivators who invited and paid their respects.

Their master didn’t say anything. How could they dare to speak?

Five days, 1000 miles, through half of the Royal City of Hundred Clans.

Such madness!

Madness to the extreme!

This was the unanimous evaluation of Zhang Ruochen from the Royal City of Hundred Clans cultivators.

Yuan Benji and a group of Fane of Death Supreme Saints stood on the top of a seven-story pavilion. They looked at the 18 Six-Tribulation Ghost Lords swaggering down the street with mocking smiles.

“What do you think Zhang Ruochen is doing? He has been walking in the Royal City of Hundred Clans for five days and has offended all the major forces. His style… Hehe, is quite similar to that of Wargod Bloodximius.”

Yuan Benji was Yuan Qianmo’s younger brother, the Banshi Isshou Realm Supreme Saint. He was almost burned to ashes by Blackie’s Eternal Fire in the House of Enchanteurs of Hoth.

Yuan Fei, who had also participated in the Battle of Celestial-Hunting and was the number one powerhouse of the Deathkin, had already broken into the Thousand-Koan Realm.

He was very calm. “Is Zhang Ruochen really in the Sevenstar Imperial Palace? Could it be that he’s using this as a trick? In fact, his real body has already gone to find the Fane of Origin?”

Hearing this, the Supreme Saints of the Fane of Death were all moved.

Yuan Benji had received a message from Yuan Qianmo five days ago, asking him to keep an eye on Zhang Ruochen and monitor his every move.

Obviously, Yuan Qianmo didn’t believe Zhang Ruochen at all. He still felt that the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin was very likely with him. Not only Yuan Qianmo but other forces also sent people to follow Zhang Ruochen to the Royal City of Hundred Clans.

Why didn’t Yuan Qianmo personally go?

There was no other way. All the Supreme Saints had answered the call of the Fane of Destiny. They gathered in the Oort Cloud Asteroid Belt and Hoth to deal with Ji Fanxin, an unprecedented enemy from the Celestial Court.

The Supreme Saints from all the Royal City of Hundred Clans had been deployed.

The Paramount Realm Yuanhui-level genius had to be killed. Otherwise, it would be a future disaster for the Infernal Court.

Yuan Benji had firmly rejected Supreme Saint Yuanfei’s guess. He said, “Impossible! More than one group of cultivators have been watching Zhang Ruochen since he passed through the wormhole. No matter how powerful he is, he can’t leave.”

“He’s the descendant of Saint Monk Xumi. He might have grasped the Canon of Dimension and be able to escape without anyone knowing,” Supreme Saint Yuanfei reminded him.

Yuan Benji’s expression changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down. He sneered and said, “If that’s the case, send the White Reapers to attack directly. Let’s give him a try.”

“Okay, I’ll do it.”

A man with a red mole, the size of a thumb, walked out from among the Supreme Saints of the Fane of Death. His eyes were gray and silver, and his aura was rather strange.

The Death Palace of the Fane of Destiny could nurture the Ten Wraithions, who were not afraid of death.

Of course, the Fane of Death also specialized in cultivating powerhouses born to kill. Some of these powerhouses were cultivated by living beings. As soon as they were born, their emotions and desires were erased. They only knew how to cultivate and kill. They did not know about emotions and fear.

Some were cultivated by dead spirits. Just like the Fane of Death, they used the corpses and saint souls of top powerhouses. They even used the corpses and saint souls of gods to cultivate them.

This man with a huge red mole between his brows had a strong background. Even Yuan Benji, who had his older brother Yuan Qianmo backing him, was afraid of that man.

Yuan Benji smiled. “Que Shenzi, you didn’t come just to test the Sevenstar Imperial Palace, right?”

The Man with the red mole named Que Shenzi said in a deep voice, “Zhang Ruochen killed Shan Qiu, but he’s still free. The Death Palace has lost so much face. How can they let him go so easily? Don’t worry, everyone. The White Reapers I’ve dispatched will be chosen from the living beings. No one will suspect the Fane of Death.”

“So what if they suspect the Fane of Death? Why are they afraid of the Xue Jue Family?” A Supreme Saint from the Fane of Death said.

Yuan Benji laughed. “That’s tough! Didn’t Zhang Ruochen like to be high-profile? We let him enter the city in a high-profile manner, but he was thrown out of the city like a dead dog. However, it must be noted that the Sevenstar Imperial Palace was a sacred palace refined by Wargod Bloodximius. It was close to being a fane, and even a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint could not break through it. Once we attack, we must be well prepared to break through the Sevenstar Imperial Palace’s defense.”

Yuan Benji knew very well that his elder brother was an exquisite person who cherished his reputation. Because of Yan Zhexian’s incident, although he hated Zhang Ruochen to the bone, he could not bear to face him.

Yuan Benji had wanted to teach Zhang Ruochen a lesson in front of all the cultivators, but he did not know what to do.

Zhang Ruochen blamed Ji Fanxin for Shan Qiu’s death, but only those who believed him would believe him. Those who did not believe him at all.

He could make use of this opportunity to test whether Zhang Ruochen was in the Sevenstar Imperial Palace and take the opportunity to teach him a lesson to find out if he had superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origins on him. It would be best if he took away all his Supreme Artifacts.

As long as he didn’t kill Zhang Ruochen, even if the god behind Zhang Ruochen knew about this, he wouldn’t stand up for him. He would only feel embarrassed.

Moreover, once he found a superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origins on Zhang Ruochen, he wouldn’t be able to explain it even if he had a mouth all over his body! The Fane of Destiny wouldn’t let him off the hook.

…

Yan Huangtu and Yan Zhexian were confused. After returning to Hoth, they heard that the Light of Origin had appeared in the Royal City of Hundred Clans, so they came here.

It was also because one of the minor clans in the Royal City of Hundred Clans, the Night Demons, was affiliated with the Yanluo clan.

Therefore, after they came to the Royal City of Hundred Clans, they were received by the two most outstanding figures under the Emperor of the Night Demon clan, Xuan Zehai, and Xuan Qingying.

In the Royal City of Hundred Clans, and even at the borders of the Infernal Court, Xuan Zehai was considered a top-notch powerhouse. Although he had yet to break through to the ultimate realm, he had already cultivated four trillion precepts. Once he condensed his Paramount physique, he would become a powerhouse among the Paramount Realm Supreme Saints, the overlord of the mortal world.

Like Lord Ironclad, who had cultivated over one trillion precepts and was at the peak of the Banshi Isshou Realm, would be defeated in just a few moves in front of him. As for the others, who had cultivated less than one trillion precepts, he could quickly suppress them.

Of course, they were still far from the likes of Lord Wu Yue, who had cultivated twelve Trillion precepts and formed a Paramount physique.

But who was Lord Wu Yue?

How many of the top five existences in the Fane of Destiny were in a single era?

Even the ancestors of small clans had to bow their heads when they saw such an important figure.

Xuan Qingying was slightly inferior to her elder brother. Still, the number of precepts she had cultivated had also reached three trillion. She also had a lovely name, one of the ten beauties at the edge of the Infernal Court, and was known as the “Qing the Beauty”.

Her name was actually a little more famous than her brother’s.

Xuan Zehai told Yan Zhexian and Yan Huangtu the results of the three investigations into the Light of Origins. Then he sighed, “When the Light of Origins appeared three times, I always thought that it was someone with ill intentions who wanted to bring the disaster to the Royal City of Hundred Clans. But you’ve all seen it too. Strange things have been happening recently. During the day, the stars shine, and the stars shift. This isn’t something that a human can do!”

Then, he used a voice transmission to inform Yan Huangtu and Yan Zhexian. He said, “It’s said that the gods of the three great clans haven’t figured out why this phenomenon. That’s why they’ve issued an order that the various clans activate all the Divine Marks and Supreme Saint inscriptions in the city.”

“The stars are shining, and the stars are shifting.”

Yan Zhexian murmured softly. Her beautiful face looked out of the window at the vast sky.

The strange phenomenon had not disappeared yet.

Was the Fane of Origin really going to be born here?

Yan Huangtu said, “The major event on Hoth and the appearance of the Light of Origin in the Royal City of Hundred Clans three times must have been detected by the Celestial Court. Are there any powerhouses from the Celestial Court on the Eminence Ranking who have come to the Royal City of Hundred Clans?”

Xuan Zehai looked helpless. He said, “The Royal City of Hundred Clans stretches for thousands of miles. With all kinds of clans gathering together, it’s too easy for the cultivators from the Celestial Court to sneak into the city! Of course, we can investigate it, but we can’t find a powerhouse on the Eminence Ranking.”

Xuan Qingying, sitting at the side, had a strange look in her eyes that was as clear as water.

Yan Huangtu noticed it and said with a smile, “Beauty Qing, you seem to know something.”

Xuan Qingying quickly said, “There is someone in the Royal City of Hundred Clans, and that person has been here for a long time.”

“Who is it?” Yan Huangtu asked.

“One of the three great assassin organizations in the Celestial Court, the number one assassin of the Empyrean Assassins, Peach Blossom,” Xuan Qingying said.

Xuan Zehai slammed the table. His eyes were filled with awe. “Yes, how could I have forgotten about her? She is a superior who has entered the Eminence Ranking and is a top-notch powerhouse.”

There was a commotion outside.

They all looked out of the window. Wherever they looked, a black fog filled the air. Eighteen Six-Tribulation Ghost Lords were carrying the Sevenstar Imperial Palace far away.

Their actions and stance were like a royal family on a trip.

Xuan Zehai and Xuan Qingying had long known that Zhang Ruochen had come to the Royal City of Hundred Clans. However, even Han Ailian of the Yakshas had been humiliated by Zhang Ruochen. They knew their place, so they didn’t go to see him or invite him.

However, when they saw the Sevenstar Imperial Palace Pass by, they couldn’t help but look at Yan Zhexian.

Who didn’t know that Yuan Qianmo and Yan Zhexian were the perfect couples before the Battle of Celestial-Hunting?

One was the first class of the Tome of the Divines. He was pure and handsome and would definitely become a god in the future. He was the best choice in the minds of all women.

The other was the most beautiful girl of the Yanluo clan. She was talented in cultivation. She was deeply loved by the supreme leader and had a terrifying background.

But Yan Zhexian was pregnant with Zhang Ruochen’s child on the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting.

Who was Zhang Ruochen?

He was famous for being a playboy. He was the dust among the scumbags. From Kunlun to the Celestial Court and then to the Infernal Court, he had tangled with countless women. He loved everyone he saw. If others didn’t love him, he would capture them and force them to love him.

In the story of Zhang Ruochen and the fairies in the Portrait of the Nine Beauties and the legend of a female deity in Kunlun, he supported Lady Wind ascending to the position of Scioness. He gave a Supreme Artifact to Lord Xia Yu. He was engaged to Princess Luo Sha.

These countless romantic affairs had been widely spread in the Infernal Court and spread countless versions because he had become the number one person in the Battle of Celestial-Hunting.

Among them, how he had become the Divine Envoy of the pure Moon Goddess had been rated as one of the biggest secrets of this Yuanhui period. Countless cultivators and even gods in the Celestial and Infernal Court wanted to solve this mystery.

Moon Goddess? Zhang Ruochen?

One was in the sky, and the other was underground.

One was a goddess of extreme beauty, and the other was a filthy traitor.

All cultivators couldn’t figure it out. How could the sacred and pure Moon Goddess have a Divine Envoy like Zhang Ruochen?

Xuan Zehai and Xuan Qingying couldn’t figure out why Yan Zhexian would abandon Yuan Qianmo and choose Zhang Ruochen.

If Yan Zhexian hadn’t volunteered, Zhang Ruochen would have been killed long ago if he dared to humiliate her with the strength of the Yanluo clan and his love for Yan Zhexian.

What confused Xuan Zehai and Xuan Qingying was that Yan Zhexian looked out of the window at the Sevenstar Imperial Palace. Her fair face was clearly filled with disgust and disdain.

“This scum doesn’t know how to restrain himself. He’s only reached the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm, but he’s so high-profile that he doesn’t even know his surname. Just wait and see. There will definitely be cultivators who can’t help but attack. When the time comes, let’s see how he’ll embarrass himself,” Yan Zhexian snorted.

Yan Zhexian and Yan Huangtu had their memories erased and did not remember that Zhang Ruochen had saved them.

Although Xuan Zehai was confused and could not figure out the relationship between Yan Zhexian and Zhang Ruochen, he still said, “It is said that Zhang Ruochen had a fight with Lan Ying not long ago, and they were equally matched. In his current realm, he is already quite abnormal.”

Yan Huangtu said, “Both Lan Ying and Que have come to the Royal City of Hundred Clans. They’ll definitely attack. This is a continuous battle of the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting. I’m looking forward to it. But I’m looking forward to the reaction of the cultivators of the Fane of Death and the Celestial Court. Can Zhang Ruochen really deal with them?”
