Chapter 2045: Ten Great Divine Artifacts?

Bam bam!

Although the great formation array shook, it was still extremely stable.

The precepts of heaven and earth and the power of the land within a radius of thousands of miles surged violently again, but instead of rushing towards Zuo Li, they rushed towards the Seven-Star Heaven’s Blockade Formation, causing the formation array to become even more stable and unassailable.

“Cosmic revolves forth, Godkilling Seven Stars.”

Under Blackie’s control, the great formation changed.

Seven dazzling star light condensed and transformed into a sharp Star Blade, unleashing brilliant heavenly aura.

Whooosh!

The Star Blade appeared in the air and slashed down at Zuo Li.

The sword had a terrifying momentum, and could almost cut the entire space apart.

The great formation array seemed to have made connection with the stars beyond as countless starlight descended from outside, competing with the sun for brilliance, and looking extremely beautiful.

Zuo Li’s eyes turned serious as he immediately poured his demonic Qi into the Demonstone Engraving.

The Demonstone Engraving was preliminarily roused, unleashing a powerful demonic Qi as a demonic tiger phantom appeared, and let out a roar, seemingly wanting to shatter the stars.

BAAAMMM!!

The Star Sword fell, and slashed brutally onto the Demonstone Engraving.

Immediately, the demonic tiger phantom shattered as the Demonstone Engraving itself dimmed.

But this was not the end of it, after the Star Blade smashed away the Demonstone Engraving, it continued to slash at Zuo Li.

The center of Zuo Li’s brow glowed as a brown seal flew out, instantly transforming into a small hill-like object a few hundred feet in size to meet the attack.

Whe the Star Sword slashed into the Demonstone Engraving, most of its power had already been consumed.

At this moment, Zuo Li deployed the brown seal, he managed to block the slash, and prevent it from crashing down on him.

Blackie did not care about Zuo Li but instead blasted out a few formation seals, knocking away the dimmed Demonstone Engraving.

With a flicker of its figure, Blackie reappeared beside the Demonstone Engraving, rousing the saint Qi in its body as a crimson light appeared and enveloped the Demonstone Engraving.

“Don’t even think about it!”

Zuo Li yelled as an extremely corporeal black drake several thousand feet long, flew out from his back, and charged at Blackie.

This black drake was not formed by condensing demonic Qi, but was instant from a powerful dragon soul.

This drake soul was taken out from a Path’s Anterior black dragon and sealed within himself, using the Heavenly Demonic Qi to nourished it. The former had already been fully integrated with his body, and was able to unleash astonishing attack power.

“When something is alright in my hands, everyone can forget taking it off me. Just a mere drake soul and you dare to attack me with it?” Blackie’s eyes was filled with disdain.

Seeing the drake soul pouncing at him, Blackie did not dodge, nor use his formation array techniques, but instead roused the phoenix blood in its body, and exuded a terrifying soul pressure.

Sensing the pressure of the phoenix’s soul, the drake soul immediately shuddered, all semblence of menace disappearing altogether.

“This pressure…”

Zuo Li and the drake soul was connected with each other, and his expression changed at this very moment.

Just when he was about to retract the drake soul, Blackie suddenly opened its mouth, and like a whale sucking water in, it swallowed the drake soul in a single go.

A moment later, Zuo Li felt the connection between him and the drake soul was severed.

DUSSHH!

Zuo Li spat out a mouthful of blood, his breathing became very disordered.

The loss of the drake soul he had spent so much efforting nourishing undoubtedly caused great damage to Zuo Li.

In this situation, Zuo Li’s control over the seal became much weaker.

BAAAMMM!!

The seal flew away, and the Star Sword cut down in a murderous arc.

DUSSHH!

Fortunately for Zuo Li he reacted very quickly, but he still lost an arm, as blood gushed all over.

Even with such opening, Blackie did not press the attack but instead took the seven flag poles away, and quickly retreated backwards, pulling a distance from Zuo Li.

Because it knew that if it continued its attack, Mo Sheng will probably get involved again.

Since there was no chance to kill Zuo Li, it could not be bothered to waste its efforts.

After completely suppressed the Demonic Tiger Roar Portrait, Blackie looked at the heavily wounded Zuo Li and sniggered as it said. “Boy, you are still far, far away from being my match. Even if you were to cultivate for another thousand years, you will never be my match.”

“Being unparalleled, sure is lonely.”

Hearing this, Zuo Li spat out another mouthful of blood, as his breath became even more chaotic, and at the same time he fell into despair.

Whether he was willing to admit it or not, he had indeed lost this gambling battle, and losing a Demonstone Engraving in the process.

“I actually lost…”

Zuo Li’s eyes dimmed, looking despondent.

“Useless.”

Mo Sheng eyes were frigid, as the flames of fury burned in his heart.

How can he not get angry after losing two Demonstone Engraving in succession?

In the face of such an outcome, Mo Sheng really regretted it, thinking that he should not have agreed to the gambit battle with Zhang Ruochen. He had really underestimated the people around the latter.

One had cultivated the Heavenly Phoenix Body, and another was an Arch Array Master… A mere Kunlun Realm in decline, was it about to see a revival with the mere appearance of Zhang Ruochen?

No matter how strong a person’s strength or cultivation was, they are only a lone ranger, but with a wealth of talents and powerhouses around him, perhaps Zhang Ruochen could be an emperor, dominating an entire realm or even a number of the number of them in the future.

Zuo Li took back his severed arm as he lowered his head and silently returned to the Black Demon Realm encampment.

With him losing the gambit battle, there was nothing else to be said.

At this moment, no one from the Black Demon Realm encampment said anything, because everyone could tell that it was not that Zuo Li was weak, but rather that owl was just too weird, and anyone who ran into it would have a massive headache.

That Seven-Star Heaven’s Blockade Formation alone was enough to make one’s hands tied, and even a Black Demon Realm powerhouse at the second level beneath a Supreme Saint like Zhuo Gu dare not say that he could break through it for certain.

“How’s it? With me taking the field, nothing will go wrong.” Blackie darted back triumphantly.

The next moment, Blackie tossed the Demonic Frenzied Drake Portrait to Zhang Ruochen, and then put the Demonic Tiger Roar Portrait into its sack, saying. “Here, take this back, this other one is my spoil of battle.”

“It’s not like you practice demonic exercises anyway, what do you want the Demonstone Engraving for?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Blackie said. “What do you know? The Demonstone Engraving is not as simple as you think it is. Every single piece is a powerful weapon, and if they could be combined together, what will happen then? Legends have it that it may have something to do with one of the Divine Artifact.”

“The Demonstone Engraving is related to Kunlun Realm’s Ten Great Divine Artifacts?” A look of surprise appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes.

Blackie rolled its eyes and said. “I’m speaking of the legends, but that may not necessarily be true. After all, the Demonstone Engraving had been scattered since ancient times, and all of them are in the hands of so many different forces, so there’s basically no chance of them being joined together.”

“Plus, based on what i know, even if you were to collect all of them, you need to master a special secret technique to fuse them together, and no one knows what that secret technique is since along ago.”

Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen could not help but to comtemplate, as all of the information about the Demonstone Engravings flashed in his mind.

The Ten Great Divine Artifacts of Kunlun Realm were legendary items, and no one was sure that if those things really existed now.

Even the names of those great divine artifacts were rarely known to anyone.

Of the ones Zhang Ruochen had heard of, there was the Shenlong Chaos Tower of Sun and Moon, The Imperial Ruler and the Altar of Path’s Soul, and these few pieces did existed.

The Shenlong Chaos Tower of Sun and Moon belonged to something, and was in the hands of a taboo figure.

As for the Imperial Ruler and the Altar of Path’s Soul, their situation was unknown.

Zhang Ruochen only knew that the Imperial Ruler was original held by the Inscription Guild, but few people knew about it.

“Zhang Ruochen, you had selected your fighter first for the first two battles, this time, it’s my turn instead.”

Just as Zhang Ruochen was pondering, Mo Sheng’s icy voice suddenly rang out.

Zhang Ruochen snapped back and replied loudly. “No problem. Choose whoever then.”

As he got the response, the corners of Mo Sheng’s mouth suddenly rose slightly, stretching out into a shallow arc.

Crone Yinfan nodded at Mo Sheng, and immediately flashed out.

“Who from the Sect of the Blood God will fight me?” Crone Yinfan stood in mid-air and called out a challenge.

Seeing Crone Yinfan, zhang Ruochen’s expression suddenly changed.

Not only him, the others also frowned as well.

The reason was, Crone Yinfan’s cultivation was not Precept Dominion, nor Path’s Anterior-Realm, but the Heaven’s Reach realm sandwiched between the two.

And there were no Heaven’s Reach powerhouses on Zhang Ruochen’s side.

All of the spectating cultivators too showed a surprise look.

“It seemed like after losing two battles in a row, Mo Sheng is desperate, and came up with this trick.”

“Since it is a gambit battle, those answering the challenge can only be of equal or lower cultivation realm. Mo Sheng obviously sent Crone Yinfan out so that Zhang Ruochen would not be able to find someone to fight against her.

“Forget Heaven’s Reach realm, there are only two Precept Dominion-realm powerhouses on Zhang Ruochen’s side, and one of them had already fought earlier. Is the remaining one a match for Crone Yinfan?”

“Don’t forget, Zhang Ruochen is also a Precept Dominion-realm powerhouse. If he were to answer the challenge, his odds of winning should be good. After all, back in Shengming City, he had killed many Precept Dominion-realm powerhouses with his own hands.”

“Will Zhang Ruochen answer the challenge himself? I’ll looking forward to that.”

…

At this moment, may cultivator set their gazes on Zhang Ruochen from a distance. In their opinion, if Zhang Ruochen wanted to win this gambit battle, he would need to take to the field himself.

But unfortunately they did not know that Zhang Ruochen and Mo Sheng already agreed they will have a gambit battle between themselves, so he could not join the fray in this battle.
