Chapter 1316: Spatial Bubble

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

This was a completely isolated world. It was small enough that a Saint could see the end with their naked eye. It was only around 100 miles wide.

There was bloody red dirt underfoot. An island hovered in the air.

This island was around a thousand feet from the ground. Thousands upon thousands of white leaves fell from the island to the ground.

Each leaf was like a waterfall from the sky. It sprayed saintly light and beautiful Qi. It was like thousands of threads flowing in the leaves.

Even Zhang Ruochen was astounded by this scene.

Qing Mo and the six Saintesses rushed in too. They were all dumbfounded. Who would’ve thought that another world was hidden inside the medicine garden?

Qing Mo panicked. “Oh, no. We accidentally broke into another world. Can we go back?”

“It’s not another world,” Zhang Ruochen said. “It’s just a spatial bubble.”

“Spatial bubble.”

Qing Mo and the six Saintesses were all confused. They’d never heard of this term before and didn’t know what it meant.

“The world is like a pool of water,” Zhang Ruochen explained. “Some bubbles will form in the water. Each bubble is a part of the pool but also contains isolated space within. A spatial bubble is very unstable. If it’s attacked by a strong force, it’ll shatter. There are very few spatial bubbles that can be preserved for 100 years without shattering.”

“But this spatial bubble has been preserved for at least 100,000 years,” Saintess Liuli said. “The white leaves falling from the hovering island may be the legendary Thousand-leaf Saint Heart Grass that has grown for 100,000 years.”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t know the reason either. He could only guess. “Perhaps the Supreme Saint’s formation caused the spatial structure here to be relatively stable and that’s why the spatial bubble could be preserved until now.”

He released his Spiritual Power to envelope the entire world. He discovered six strong Saintly Way auras. Other than Martial Saint Canglan and that black shadow, there were four Heaven Pass Realm Saints.

But he didn’t discover Gu Songzi’s aura.

Did that old guy die inside the Supreme Saint formation? No, his Spiritual Power far surpasses me. Even if he’s hiding somewhere, I might not be able to find him.

Zhang Ruochen just felt like Gu Songzi couldn’t die so easily. That old man was very foxy. He might be hiding somewhere, watching people fight to the death and jumping out in the end.

Martial Saint Canglan and the black shadow were fighting intensely. The sounds of swords and windchimes rang out. One couldn’t figure out who was winning.

The four other Heaven Pass Realm Saints were also fighting. The earth of the spatial bubble was getting torn up bit by bit.

The Heaven Pass Realm Saint surrounded in the middle was clad in golden armor. He grasped a golden spear and radiated with thick bloody fog. He was filled with murderous Qi, like a death god from Hell.

This was Blood Saint Kongqian, one of the three Heaven Pass Blood Generals.

The three working together to attack him were large figures from the northern region. They came from three different forces and had esteemed backgrounds.

Qing Mo stared at the leaves falling from the hovering island. She was sure that each leaf contained shocking medicinal abilities. They must be Thousand-leaf Saint Heart Grass.

“Lord, let’s collect the grass while they’re fighting,” Qing Mo said, rubbing her hands together excitedly.

“They may be fighting, but if we approach the hovering island, we’ll instantly be the targets of all of them. They’ll all attack us. Can we fend off their allied forces with our abilities?”

The six Saintesses nodded, thinking that Zhang Ruochen was right.

“The Thousand-leaf Saint Heart Grass is right before us, but we can’t collect it. What if someone else collects it?”

The Thousand-leaf Saint Heart Grass determined if Zhang Ruochen could fully recover or not. It was extremely important, so Qing Mo obviously put much attention on it.

“We’re already very strong and may last until the end to collect the Thousand-leaf Saint Heart Grass. The only people who can threaten us are the three Heaven Pass Blood Generals of the Immortal Vampires.”

Zhang Ruochen pointed at Blood Saint Kongqian.

“Kill him before the two other Heaven Pass Blood Generals arrive,” he said. “Hammer of Thunder God.”

Zhang Ruochen released his Spiritual Power Saint Look. A huge thunder figure appeared, radiating with boundless Qi. Spiritual Qi flowed over, forming a lightning hammer in the figure’s hand.

The thunder giant jumped up, reaching hundreds of feet in the sky. He waved the lightning hammer and brought it down on Blood Saint Kongqian’s head.

Blood Saint Kongqian huffed coldly. He extended his golden hand and pressed into the sky. The hand grew larger and larger. Each line in his fingerprint was like a mountain and river.

Boom.

The thunder giant’s attack was stopped by Blood Saint Kongqian’s palm print.

So powerful, Zhang Ruochen thought. My saintly spell can’t hurt him, even with my current attainment in Spiritual Power. As expected of a Heaven Pass Blood General.

“Great! Another cultivation friend has attacked. Today, we will definitely kill this demonic king.”

The Heaven Pass Realm Saint of the Four Symbols Sect wore a Taoist robe and held a saintly sword. He had black hair and youthful features. He looked at Zhang Ruochen with a friendly gaze.

“This friend really isn’t on the Immortal Vampires’ side. I misjudged you earlier. Please forgive me.” The Heaven Pass Realm Saint from the Xinsu Sect was a middle-aged man. He’d once suspected that Zhang Ruochen had joined the Immortal Vampires.

The other Heaven Pass Realm Saint was from an ancient clan of the northern region—the Yao Family. She was an old woman with white hair.

The Four Symbols Sect, Xinsu Sect, and Yao Family were all superpowers of the north. The three figures weren’t weak either. When they worked together, they were comparable to Blood Saint Kongqian.

Zhang Ruochen’s addition broke the equilibrium, putting Blood Saint Kongqian at a disadvantage.

Qing Mo took out her silver kitchen knife and toyed with it. Sometimes, she aimed at Blood Saint Kongqian and sometimes at the black shadow fighting with Martial Saint Canglan.

Ever since she had started going around with Zhang Ruochen, she’d become more and more courageous.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, Qing Mo’s arm shook and the silver kitchen knife flew out. It spun quickly, transforming into a beam of light and hitting Blood Saint Kongqian’s chest.

Poof.

The silver knife stabbed through Blood Saint Kongqian’s chest. A large mass of blood splattered from his body.

Blood Saint Kongqian was heavily hurt. He glared at Qing Mo with cold eyes, both furious and embarrassed. A Heaven Pass Blood General that intimidated the entire northern region was actually injured by a little girl.

If news of this spread, he would become the laughingstock of the Immortal Vampires.

“Die!” Blood Saint Kongqian’s wings unfurled. He escaped from the battle circle of the Heaven Pass Saints with extreme speed and charged at Qing Mo.

“It was an accident! My hand slipped!”

Qing Mo was terrified. She hurriedly put the kitchen knife away and hid behind Zhang Ruochen.

She could heavily injure Blood Saint Kongqian on accident. Who would believe this?

Blood Saint Kongqian almost spat out blood in anger. His murderous intent grew heavier. He felt that this girl was just purposely provoking him. Even though he was hurt, he would kill her first before leaving this place.

“Sword Six.”

Zhang Ruochen put his hands together. Beams of sword intent and Holy Qi grouped over, forming a brilliant white sword.

Whoosh!

The sword flew out, transforming into thousands of sword shadows.

Blood Saint Kongqian roared aggressively. He stabbed his golden spear forward. A thunderous sound boomed and all the Sword Qi shattered.

“Your so-called Sword Six is just…that…you…”

A silver streak appeared in Blood Saint Kongqian’s eyes. A kitchen knife was spinning quickly in the light.

Because he was too close, Blood Saint Kongqian couldn’t dodge at all. With a poof, half of his head was shaved off by the knife. It was horrible.

Roar!

Blood Saint Kongqian only had half of a head left. He bled from the injury, making him look menacing. He roared angrily, revealing many sharp fangs as if he wanted to eat someone.

Qing Mo gasped and covered her mouth. Eyes widening, she had a terrified expression and retreated continuously. “I’m sorry, my hand really did slip.”

Even the six Saintesses thought that Qing Mo was too much. She was clearly so powerful, but she insisted on sneak attacks. She even pretended to be innocent afterward.

Only Zhang Ruochen knew that Qing Mo’s expression wasn’t acting. She really did want to attack and help Zhang Ruochen, but she was also very afraid of Blood Saint Kongqian.

The three Heaven Pass Realm Saints were also speechless, thinking that Qing Mo was shameless. However, they realized that Zhang Ruochen and Qing Mo were both very strong. Adding on Martial Saint Canglan and the six Saintesses, they were practically a super group. If they attacked, they could sweep past everything and take the Thousand-leaf Saint Heart Grass.

“How about we collect the Thousand-leaf Saint Heart Grass together and split it between the three forces after leaving Xianji Mountain?” the Heaven Pass Saint from the Four Symbols Sect suggested.

“Okay.”

The other two Heaven Pass Saints agreed immediately. They formed a temporary alliance.

The three Heaven Pass Saints didn’t attack Blood Saint Kongqian. They wanted to use him to restrict Zhang Ruochen and Qing Mo, while they flew toward the hovering island.

“End the fight quickly. Formation!”

Zhang Ruochen and the six Saintesses entered the formation, sweeping in the injured Blood Saint Kongqian. In a short bit, Blood Saint Kongqian was torn into pieces. He died inside the spatial bubble.

At the same time, a pained cry came from the hovering island.

A Heaven Pass Saint’s body fell from the sky. The corpse was dressed in a Taoist robe, but only half of the body remained. It was covered in a layer of deathly Qi.

It was the Heaven Pass Saint from the Four Symbols Sect. He’d been killed by the black shadow’s palm.

Just as the three Heaven Pass Saints had flown to the hovering island, the black shadow freed itself. Instead of continuing to fight Martial Saint Canglan, he chased after the Heaven Pass Saints and entered the hovering island.

Now, he stood at the edge of the island. Looking down at the half-corpse and Zhang Ruochen’s group, he said coldly, “If you want to take the Thousand-leaf Saint Heart Grass, you should see if you have the skills.”

That sentence seemed to be a warning to Zhang Ruochen’s group.

Zhang Ruochen raised his head. The black shadow had already disappeared from the edge of the hovering island. There was only the sound of a lovely windchime in the air.
