Chapter 2266: Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Another three years passed.

The Sword Spirit of the Ancient Abyssal Blade had reached the Saint King Realm. It had passed the second King’s Calamity and successfully turned into a Second-level Regal Artifact.

There were more than 250,000 king-grade inscriptions in the sword.

After that, it only needed to refine and absorb weapons to continue improving.

At the same time, Zhang Ruochen refined and absorbed 40 Heaven Grade Firmament Pills he had bought from the Realm of Star Ocean. His spiritual power reached the peak of the 60th level.

At that moment, Zhang Ruochen was sitting in an independent palace in the Sevenstar Imperial Palace. He took out the King Grade Sacred Pill he had obtained from the Dragon Temple and held it in his palm. He carefully felt the pill spirit of the sacred pill.

The pill spirit was in the form of a five-clawed silver dragon. Although it had been sealed, the spiritual power it emitted was still powerful. It was comparable to a spiritual-power Supreme Saint at the initial stage of the 60th level.

Zhang Ruochen did not dare to swallow it before this.

If this sacred pill was placed on a planet...

The spiritual power released by the sacred pill could affect billions of lives on the planet. Becoming the planet’s ruler was a piece of cake.

“With my current spiritual power, I should be able to refine it. It won’t be difficult for me to break through to the 61st level,” said Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen released a white Divine Purification Flame with his palms and enveloped the King Grade Sacred Pill.

The sealing power on the surface of the sacred pill was gradually refined.

Whoosh

A deafening roar of a dragon sounded from inside the King Grade Sacred Pill as the seal disappeared.

The five-clawed Silver Dragon rushed out of the pill. Its body grew bigger and bigger. It circled in the palace, reaching out its claws at Zhang Ruochen.

Swoosh

Zhang Ruochen sat still. 8,000 Spirits flew out of his body.

Each Spirit looked exactly like him. They stood in 8,000 directions of the palace and their hands made a grasping gesture. They pulled out the silver light from the five-clawed silver dragon and inhaled it into their mouths.

Soul-devouring.

The five-clawed silver dragon sensed that something was wrong. This young man was not someone it could provoke. It immediately swung its tail and rushed toward the palace door.

“You’re thinking of escaping now?”

Zhang Ruochen flipped his hand and slapped it down. It was suppressed in a five-colored chaotic space and its soul could not move anymore. Even its spiritual power could not escape.

He stretched out two fingers to pick up the King Grade Sacred Pill and swallowed it.

Whoosh

Zhang Ruochen’s whole body was illuminated by the King Grade Sacred Pill’s light. It released a pill fragrance. The pill fragrance condensed into clouds and enveloped Zhang Ruochen completely.

Refining a Heaven Grade Sacred Pill to improve spiritual power only took one or two months.

However, refining this King Grade Sacred Pill took Zhang Ruochen half a year to fully absorb.

His spiritual power had successfully broken through to the 61st level.

His Spirits have increased to 12,300.

“Withdraw.”

Zhang Ruochen withdrew the dense Spirits into his saint heart and opened his bright eyes. His pupils were like immortal jade Godstones. He seemed to be able to see through the hearts of all living beings in the world.

Can the 61st level spiritual power fight against a Supreme Saint in the initial stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm?’ Zhang Ruochen asked himself in his heart.

Each of the five realms of a Supreme Saint had a huge leap.

Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power had only increased by one level. He thought it was unrealistic to fight against a Supreme Saint in the Hundred-Shackle Realm. He had never cultivated his spiritual power systematically. When he had time, he had to spend more time studying it.

‘After several years of cultivating the Heavenly Stream Saintwill and the Blood Sun Ten-tremors Saintwill, plus a big breakthrough in my spiritual power, my control of power and saintwills has become more exquisite. I should be able to fuse them.’ Zhang Ruochen thought.

Zhang Ruochen took out the Violet Gourd and flew in.

There were some accidents during the process of fusing the saintwill previously.

However, after three failures, with the help of the Qiankun Realm and the Violet Gourd, Zhang Ruochen finally succeeded in fusing the Heavenly Stream Saintwill and the Blood Sun Ten-tremors Saintwill. It evolved into a more powerful third-grade saintwill.

There were also differences for each third-grade saintwill.

Zhang Ruochen determined that the newly condensed saintwill was stronger than the previous saintwill because after merging with the Heavenly Stream Saintwill, the shock force contained in the saintwill reached 11 tremors.

With one more tremor of the shock force, the power increased.

Whether it was a Palm technique, a Fist technique, or a water saint technique, the power would be much stronger when the saintwill was used.

However, after careful study, Zhang Ruochen found that his saintwill was still not in a stable state.

After merging with the Heavenly Stream Saintwill, it did completely suppress the million times more Yang Qi in his body.

Unfortunately, it became too much.

The Palm Saintwill was violent and overbearing. Its path was of the absolute Yang.

The Water Saintwill and the Fist Saintwill were the complete opposite to it. Merging the three types of saintwill, made Zhang Ruochen’s saintwill soft and delicate. It had a lot of power, but it lacked explosive power.

“Maybe... I need to merge all five elements of saintwill into it. With the five elements, I can balance the yin-yang nature of Fist and Palm to achieve the perfection of saintwill.”

Zhang Ruochen faintly felt that he had found a Path that belonged to his own.

However, the biggest problem was that there were seven saintly ways, including the five elements, Palm, and Fist.

Could the seven saintwills really be combined into one?

There was a second problem.

A Supreme Saint could only cultivate nine saintwills at most. If Zhang Ruochen had cultivated seven, how could he choose between Swordsmanship, Path of Time, Path of Dimension, and the Path of Truth?

Could he really only cultivate nine kinds of saintwills?

Zhang Ruochen entered the Qiankun Realm and asked the Divine Sky-connecting Tree for advice.

After the Divine Sky-connecting Tree finished listening to his story, it said, “A Supreme Saint can only cultivate nine kinds of Saintwills. Generally speaking, it is already the limit to be able to combine five kinds of saintwills into one. No one alive has ever succeeded in combining seven kinds of saintwills into one since ancient times.”

“You’ve only integrated three kinds of saintwills now. When you integrate the fourth kind, you’ll find that it’s extremely difficult.”

Zhang Ruochen stood under the tree and nodded slightly.

Previously, when he integrated the Heavenly Stream Saintwill, he had already felt that the difficulty had increased. That was why he had failed three times.

Moreover, Zhang Ruochen had used the Qiankun Realm and the Violet Gourd.

If it had been any other Supreme Saint, without his conditions, it would have been ten or even a hundred times harder to fuse with the third saintwill.

The Divine Sky-connecting Tree continued, “Of course, nothing is absolute in this world. It was just like how the first Supreme Saint who had cultivated the ninth saintwill and the first Supreme Saint who had fused five saintwills. If they don’t have a heart that surpasses their predecessors and doesn’t dare to challenge them, they won’t be able to succeed.

“You have the Five-element Chaotic Neverwither Physique. Cultivating the five elements of saintwills as one has a huge advantage. It’s much easier than other Supreme Saints. Furthermore, after cultivating it successfully, you’ll be able to unleash even more power.

“In history, the Supreme Saint who combined five types of saintwill walked the path of the five elements as one. The five elements saintwill cultivated is one of the best second-grade saintwill.

“If you can combine the five elements, Palm, and Fist into one saintwill and achieve the completion of the five elements of Yin and Yang, you may be able to break the precepts of heaven and earth and become the first person alive to cultivate the first-grade saintwill since ancient times.

“Zhang Ruochen, it’s not that you can’t take this path, but it’s too difficult and almost impossible to succeed. Once you take this path, there’s no turning back. It will determine your success or failure in your life. The risk is too great, so I don’t suggest you take this risk.”

The Divine Sky-connecting Tree told Zhang Ruochen the pros and cons and let him choose for himself.

Once he succeeded, he would become unparalleled throughout ancient times.

Once he failed, it was very likely that he would destroy his Saint path and his future would become bleak.

It was of great importance.

Facing the big decision in life, Zhang Ruochen did not hesitate and said, “Before I came to ask you, I had already made up my mind. Since you think there is a possibility of success, then... I want to give it a try!

“If I want to do it, I have to be the strongest. Mediocrity can’t change this chaotic world and it can’t satisfy what I want to do in the future.

“From now on, I’ll call this saintwill, Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill, whether I succeed or fail in the future, it’s a direction I’ve set. I’ll go on unswervingly.”

Zhang Ruochen sent a telepathic message to Supreme Saint Qingsheng after he left the Qiankun Realm, “I want the marks of the Canon of the five elements: fire, wood, metal, and earth. I hope uncle can help me find them.”

Supreme Saint Qingsheng might not have a way to find the four Canons’ mark, but he would definitely report it to Wargod Bloodximius.

It would not be difficult to find the four Canons’ mark.

Zhang Ruochen took out a Firmament Pill and swallowed it. However, the Heaven Grade Sacred Pill seemed to have lost its medicinal effect, and the improvement to his spiritual power was minimal.

He did not even need to spend a month or two to refine and absorb it. After five days, the medicinal effect completely disappeared. He only had two more Spirits.

It was negligible.

“How can this be? Is this a Heaven Grade Sacred Pill?”

“Is it because the Firmament Pill is useless to me after consuming too many of it?”

“Or is it difficult to improve after the spiritual power reaches the 61st level just by taking the Saint Pill?”

Zhang Ruochen was about to ask about the Divine Sky-connecting Tree again, but he heard Lord Xia Yu’s telepathic transmission. So, he had to put this matter aside for now and walk out of the Sevenstar Imperial Palace.

After several years, Lord Xia Yu’s cultivation had made an amazing improvement.

She had broken all the shackles in her body and entered the completion of the Hundred-Shackle Realm. A powerful blood-red aura flowed throughout her body, and the fifth pair of silver wings on her back was completely solidified.

She stood under the Sundial with her ten wings spread out. She stared at Zhang Ruochen who was standing on the steps of the palace and said, “Zhang Ruochen, do you dare to fight with me?”

The wind blew her clothes and she looked like a fairy.

Lord Xia Yu had lost countless times in her life. However, the time she lost to Zhang Ruochen was the one she was most unwilling to accept.

After all, she had defeated her opponent across realms since she was young.

This was the first time she had been defeated by an opponent across realms.

Now that Lord Xia Yu had reached the completion of the Hundred-Shackle Realm, she naturally regarded Zhang Ruochen as her first opponent.

There were hundreds of steps in the Sevenstar Imperial Palace. Zhang Ruochen stood at the top, his long sleeves swaying in the wind. His eyes were calm as he said, “Well, I also want to see how strong a Supreme Saint at the completion of the Hundred-Shackle Realm is.”

Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation had also improved greatly in the past few years.

He could use Lord Xia Yu’s hands to try out the third-grade saintwill that he had just condensed.

All cultivators in the Vastsea Manor stopped cultivating and looked over curiously.

“Cousin Ruochen, don’t you know that Lord Xia Yu has reached the completion of the Hundred-Shackle Realm? Her combat power has increased several times in a short time. It’s incomparable to the time at the God-ascension Ceremony,” Xue Ningxiao said in surprise.

Xue Chen said, “Since Zhang Ruochen dares to accept the challenge, he must be confident. Don’t forget that he has the Supreme Artifact in his hands.”

Xue Ningxiao stuck out her small tongue and said, “That’s true. If he uses the Supreme Artifact, it’s hard to say who will win this battle.”

Lian Xi and Zhou Zhen did not say a word, but they both found it unbelievable.

Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation was only at the Neverwilt Realm. Was he worthy of such a serious challenge from a powerhouse at the completion of the Hundred-Shackle Realm?

In their opinion, Zhang Ruochen had a grandfather, Wargod Bloodximius. That was why the Hundred-Shackle Realm Supreme Saint of the Immortal Vampires gave him face.

A Neverwilt Realm Supreme Saint was no match for the Hundred-Shackle Realm Supreme Saint in terms of combat strength.

The five realms of a Supreme Saint were the most difficult to cross.

Luo Sha said to herself, “Lord Xia Yu’s cultivation is not weak. She has condensed a fourth-grade Saintwill with her Deva Path of Blood. Adding her status as a High-Saint Array Master and High-Saint Talisman Master, her combat strength is likely to rank in the top 30 among the Supreme Saints in the completion of the Hundred-Shackle Realm. I wonder how many times Zhang Ruochen can resist her without using the Supreme Artifact?”

In Luo Sha’s opinion, Zhang Ruochen definitely would not activate the Supreme Artifact in this battle.

Once he uses it, there’s no longer a need to battle.

Zhang Ruochen used his right index finger as a brush and drew a circle of saint light in the air.

Whoosh

The circle of saint light spun rapidly and transformed into a circular independent space. It was 100 kilometers in diameter and was suspended 30 meters above the ground. It occupied an area of 300 meters.

It turned into an internal dimension world, like a huge bubble.

Lord Xia Yu glanced at it and said coldly, “Can the dimension you created withstand my power?”

“I have to create a battlefield. What if one of us destroys Vastsea Manor again?”

Zhang Ruochen summoned the Microworld of the jungle. A corner of the Microworld merged with the independent dimension and turned into a desert battlefield.

“It’s not that troublesome. Take this.”

Lord Xia Yu flew up from the ground. The Grim Soul-devouring Flame surged from her body. The bone-chilling flame revolved around her delicate body and finally gathered at the tip of her finger.

Boom

A round ball of flame appeared in front of her like divine light.

In the center of the light ball, a sharp fire pillar of soul-devouring flame flew out. It was as fast as light and arrived in front of Zhang Ruochen in an instant.

Zhang Ruochen did not retreat. Three dragon souls and three elephant souls surged out of his body and appeared on his left and right sides. Then, a surging long river appeared and surrounded his body.

He clenched his fist with one hand and formed his palm with the other. He struck out at the same time.

Two forces, one yin, and one yang, one cold and one hot erupted from his fist and palm. They quickly intertwined and collided with the light pillar of soul-devouring flame.

Boom

The power wave formed by the shadows of Fist and Palm was instantly pierced and exploded.

Lord Xia Yu’s eyes flashed and said with mockery, “Zhang Ruochen, just use your Power of Time and Power of Dimensions. With your Fist and Palm techniques, you can...”

Suddenly, her voice stopped.

After the shadows of the Fist and Palmshattered, they quickly developed a second layer of Qi.

The shadows of the Fist and Palm condensed again, becoming more solid, larger, and closer to her.
