God Emperor

Chapter 2501 - Caught up

Panda Novel

The rocks in the universe were huge and were flying rapidly toward the Oort Cloud Asteroid Belt.

Gong Nanfeng reached out his hand and stared at Zhang Ruochen with anticipation, "Thank you, Supreme Saint Ruochen, for helping Fane of Destiny to get back Tensho Compass. I will definitely report this to the Lord of Divination Division. I owe this favor to you. But it's not only me, both Divination Division and the entire Fane of Destiny do too."

"Overseer, are you using Fane of Destiny to pressure me?" Zhang Ruochen asked.

Gong Nanfeng was stunned. "No! Supreme Saint Ruochen, how could there be such a misunderstanding?"

Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, "I can't give you Tensho Compass."

"Does Supreme Saint Ruochen want to keep Tensho Compass for himself?"

Gong Nanfeng was shocked. He quickly stepped back, afraid that Zhang Ruochen would silence him.

The more he acted like this, the more alarmed Zhang Ruochen became.

Zhang Ruochen's expression was calm. He said, "You're too suspicious!"

"How am I suspicious? I'm the Overseer of Divination Division. The real Overseer might I add." Seeing that Zhang Ruochen had no intention of silencing him, Gong Nanfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

Zhang Ruochen said, "I've never met the Overseer of Divination Division before. I can't believe everything just because you say so. Do you really think that I'm stupid?"

"That makes sense."

Gong Nanfeng touched his chest and took out a token. He smiled and said, "This is the token of Divination Division's Overseer. It has the spiritual imprint of the Lord of Divination Division on it. It can't be forged."

Zhang Ruochen looked at the token and felt sick of it. He threw it back to Gong Nanfeng with a sullen face, "It's just a token. It's not impossible to forge it. You're full of nonsense. You claim that you're weak, but you can burst out with unparalleled speed. How can I believe you?"

Gong Nanfeng looked constipated. He seemed to have something to hide. "I-I..."

Before he could speak, Zhang Ruochen continued, "Third, why didn't you help when Duan Lingfeng and the others took Tensho Compass and suppressed the vessel spirit of Tensho Compass? I almost risked my life to help Fane of Destiny take Tensho Compass back, while you just happened to jump out at the perfect time. Humph! Are you a spy of the Enchanteur Chamber?"

"No, I'm the Overseer of Fane of Destiny. How could I be a spy of the Enchanteur Chamber? It's a misunderstanding, a big misunderstanding!" Gong Nanfeng was so anxious that his face was red. He explained desperately, "I told you, I'm trying to catch a big fish with a long line."

Zhang Ruochen said righteously, "Do you think I'll believe you? You're so weak, yet you dare to throw a long line to catch the big fish? Aren't you afraid of being eaten by the fish?"

"I can follow up secretly and find an opportunity to send a message to the elites of Fane of Destiny," Gong Nanfeng said.

Zhang Ruochen's heart raced. "You've sent a message back?"

Gong Nanfeng shook his head and sighed. "I'm too weak! My Communication talisman can't reach Hoth."

Zhang Ruochen didn't know if he was speaking the truth or not, but he was secretly relieved.

Gong Nanfeng thought of something and said happily, "Why don't you send a message to the three high priests of Fane of Destiny, as well as Zhuo Yunong, Lord Wu Yue, and Scion Xingluo. They could prove my identity once they're here."

Zhang Ruochen couldn't control himself anymore. He really wanted to kill him.

For a divine weapon, it wasn't a big deal to destroy a planet or the entire realm, let alone one person.

However, Gong Nanfeng's harmless and friendly appearance made Zhang Ruochen unable to kill him.

Of course, the biggest reason was that he was not confident.

Once he attacked, things would get ugly.

If Zhang Ruochen failed to kill Gong Nanfeng, how could he have a foothold in Infernal Court?

Zhang Ruochen asked Intergold Tiger, "What's this weirdo's background? Is he strong or weak?"

Intergold Tiger did not reply.

Gong Nanfeng said, "Supreme Saint Ruochen, hurry up and send a message. The elites of the ten dark forces must be on their way. Without the protection of the elites of Fane of Destiny, how can you and I be their opponents?"

Zhang Ruochen felt like he had been forced to the edge of a cliff. He pretended as if nothing had happened, but he was thinking hard about countermeasures.

After a long while, he said, "We could send a message, but we have to figure out how to send it and who to trust. Not everyone in Fane of Destiny is trustworthy."

"Think about it. The elites of Fane of Destiny are far away from us, at least a few days away. But Duan Lingfeng, Lord Ironclad, and Lord Yue Lin are very close to us."

"What if we send a message to the powerhouses of Fane of Destiny and that powerhouse immediately sends a message to Duan Lingfeng and the rest, revealing our whereabouts? Wouldn't we be digging our own graves?"

Gong Nanfeng revealed a look of realization and said in admiration, "Supreme Saint Ruochen is indeed meticulous. No wonder... Hehe."

He really wanted to say, "No wonder you're still alive". However, he felt that it wasn't very nice to say that, so he smiled in an awkward but friendly manner.

Gong Nanfeng asked humbly, "In your opinion, what should we do now?"

"The universe is vast and boundless. That's the best place for us to hide," Zhang Ruochen said.

Gong Nanfeng pinched his fingers and said, "Are we going to Oort Cloud Asteroid Belt?"

"Yes."

"Oort Cloud Asteroid Belt used to be a seventh-level planet. There must be a wormhole nearby."

"How did you know?"

"I deduced it!"

Gong Nanfeng chuckled and said proudly, "To tell you the truth, except for deities, there's nothing that I can't predict."

Zhang Ruochen stood behind him, his face slightly pale. He was worried that Gong Nanfeng had already deduced all his secrets.

Gong Nanfeng suddenly turned around.

Zhang Ruochen quickly put away his expression and smiled.

Gong Nanfeng stared at him seriously, "You're very special. I can only deduce your identity from the aura of the clothes you wear. I can't deduce anything else. Did Wargod Bloodximius, or Fukurokuju help you cover up?"

The smile on Zhang Ruochen's face became more sincere. "Let's not talk about this. I have good wine and food in my Ring of Dimensions. Do you want to try it?"

Gong Nanfeng was moved. "This is not a good time. We never know when the enemies will catch up."

"Don't worry. I have been being hunted since the day I started cultivating. There were times even more dangerous than this, but I still went on my day."

Zhang Ruochen took out two pots of wine, more than 10 kinds of 10,000-year-old saint fruits, and 200 pounds of cooked meat from a Saint King-level beast. He said, "Don't be shy, just eat as much as you want. I'm half a disciple of Fane of Destiny. We're on the same side."

The admiration in Gong Nanfeng's eyes grew stronger. Zhang Ruochen was indeed a Yuanhui-level genius than even Fukurokuju valued. He could remain calm and unaffected even if the situation was critical and he was being chased by countless powerful figures.

How many people in the world could do that?

Amazing!

Truly amazing!

Gong Nanfeng sat on the ground and picked up a 10,000-year-old saint fruit, he smiled and said, "To be honest, I haven't eaten for a few days. I'm really hungry right now. I can't compare to Supreme Saints like you! Brother Ruochen, you're my true brother. Those people in Fane of Destiny have strong cultivation and don't need to eat. But have they even considered that a weakling like me needs to eat?"

"Don't mention it. Words cannot express our tie. Cheers."

Zhang Ruochen had filled Gong Nanfeng's cup. He took the initiative to pick up the cup and drank one shot.

Gong Nanfeng took a sip. His face changed immediately. His body turned red as if he was about to burn. "This wine... This wine is really... strong..."

With that, he fell to the ground.

Of course, it was strong. This was dragon flame wine.

Saint Kings and Supreme Saints would be fine if they drank it. However, if it was really a cultivator with weak cultivation, one would definitely not be able to withstand one sip.

Zhang Ruochen put down the wine cup and called out, "Brother Gong, Brother Gong, are you drunk already?"

Zhang Ruochen had been staring at Gong Nanfeng. Using The Heart of Truth perception, he poured another cup and drank it. His eyes were filled with doubt and hesitation.

"Forget it. It's too risky to kill him, and I might regret it."

Zhang Ruochen stood up and activated Meritorious Armor of Flowing Light. It burst out at 10,000 times the speed of sound and disappeared into the dark space of the universe.

Gong Nanfeng was the only one snoring on the rocks of the universe.

Zhang Ruochen deliberately activated Precepts of Truth and The Heart of Truth perception. He flew over a million miles and didn't notice Gong Nanfeng chasing after him, he thought to himself, "It seems that he is not pretending to be drunk. Who is this? Is Fane of Destiny's Overseer really a weakling?"

The more Zhang Ruochen thought about it, the more he found it amazing and unbelievable.

Unfortunately, he did not take the risk to check his physical physique just now.

...

Two days later.

Zhang Ruochen was cultivating inside a cosmic rock. Suddenly, he became alert. He rolled up Sundial with his sleeve and his body turned into a light pillar. He broke through the rock layer and flew out.

Boom

The cosmic rock that was dozens of miles long exploded. All the mud and rocks melted and then evaporated.

The powerful energy wave pushed Zhang Ruochen back hundreds of miles.

3,000 miles away, a black Saint Vessel flew out of nowhere, revealing its huge body. There were Nether flags all over the Saint Vessel and the array inscriptions were constantly flickering. The aura that burst out seemed to be able to swallow the world.

In an instant, the Saint Vessel appeared in front of Zhang Ruochen. The Nether Qi it emitted was like a turbulent sea of ink.

Lord Ironclad stood at the bow of Saint Vessel with a bone spear in his hand. He had the aura that could swallow planets. His voice reverberated across the universe, shaking the space, "You've been enveloped by the array of my Saint Vessel. Let's see where you can run to this time."

"You're fast."

Zhang Ruochen saw the extraordinariness of Lord Ironclad's Saint Vessel. He reached out his hand and pressed it lightly. Countless array inscriptions appeared in front of his palm. They were like spider webs and chains, sealing him in space.

"How could I be afraid when you're the only one who caught up," Zhang Ruochen said.

Lord Ironclad sneered. "The reason you could escape that day was that you have Meritorious Armor of Flowing Light and a Supreme Artifact with you. My Saint Vessel was forged with all my wealth. After borrowing Godstones from Duan Lifeng, it is fully activated and in its strongest state. Do you think you can escape today?"

"It's just a Saint Vessel. Breaking it will do,"Zhang Ruochen said.

Lord Ironclad said, "You can try."

Zhang Ruochen summoned Ugyen Cudgel and activated it with Saint Qi. It turned into a sky-reaching divine pillar that was hundreds of miles long. The black gold light could travel tens of thousands of miles. The ripples of Supreme Power exploded and shattered the array inscriptions around it.

Boom!!!

Ugyen Cudgel pressed down. Energy exploded and struck the sky above the black Saint Vessel. It collided with the Saint Vessel's defensive array.

The first line of defensive array was broken instantly. The Saint Vessel sank down.

Lord Ironclad, who was calm, showed a hint of surprise. Seeing the second layer of the defensive array was blocked by Ugyen Cudgel , he let out a sigh of relief.

He was trying to lure Zhang Ruochen to attack. How could he let go of this perfect opportunity?

"How stupid. You actually attack when I told you to. Now, your defense and power must be at your weakest since your best shot was already out. Once I kill you, this Supreme Artifact will be mine!"

Lord Ironclad flew out of the Saint Vessel and stabbed out with the bone spear.

Divine Marks appeared on the bone spear. The light shone brighter and brighter. It was about to pierce through Zhang Ruochen's heart.

However, time slowed down at this moment.

Zhang Ruochen moved away and dodged it.

Lord Ironclad was shocked. "The Power of Time?"

Zhang Ruochen formed a fist with his left hand. The dragon's roar and the sound of water rang out at the same time. It was like a divine dragon's roar. The river of heaven fell to the ground. It was powerful and could intimidate the opponent's spirit.

Lord Ironclad was fearless. Dense Power of Death erupted when he struck out his palm strike.

The fist and palm collided.

Time seemed to slow down.

Boom!!!

Zhang Ruochen flew back like a cannonball. He landed 50 kilometers away. His heart trembled as stood up, he thought, "The power of one palm of a Supreme Saint at the peak of Banshi Isshou Realm is much stronger than I imagined."

Zhang Ruochen wasn't discouraged. Instead, his fighting spirit grew stronger.

Back in Enchanton, Lord Ironclad had sealed 90% of his cultivation, forcing Zhang Ruochen into a tight spot. In the end, Zhang Ruochen used all kinds of methods to fight him. Zhang Ruochen used Dark Prison Talisman and Path of Truth to increase his attack power by 10 times. Only by that, he won by pulling a fast one.

Now, he could fight against Lord Ironclad in his peak state.

This progress was more than rapid.

Lord Ironclad only need to slightly shake his body to dissolve Zhang Ruochen's fist power. He looked at the old man in front of him with a strange expression. The old man was hit by his palm and flew so far away, but he was not injured.

Moreover, he felt a familiar aura from the fist power just now.

It was very similar to Zhang Ruochen.

However, he couldn't believe that the person in front of him was Zhang Ruochen. After all, he had only used 10% of his power to force Zhang Ruochen into a dangerous situation not long ago. Zhang Ruochen's strength was far inferior to that of the old man in front of him.

Lord Ironclad lied, "Zhang Ruochen, you took away Tensho Compass and went to Oort Cloud Asteroid Belt instead of returning to Hoth. What are you trying to do? Are you trying to steal the divine weapon?"

Zhang Ruochen knew that Lord Ironclad was trying to trick him.

Now, whether he admitted it or not was secondary.

Since he was already suspicious, he had to die.

Zhang Ruochen took out Sundial and two more Godstones. He placed them in the groove and sighed. "I didn't want to kill you, but you insisted on calling my name. What's more, a person like you doesn't even have the value to capture you alive."

Lord Ironclad was shocked. "You're really Zhang Ruochen? Impossible, impossible."

"I've already revealed my identity, and you don't believe it. Are you playing me on purpose? Do you think I'll let you go?" Zhang Ruochen was in a bad mood. He felt like everyone he'd met recently was playing him.
