God Emperor

Zhang Ruochen ’s solid Saint Soul was divided into six parts. Each occupied one direction and began to rotate slowly then faster.

Whoosh!

A vortex existing between reality and illusion appeared, establishing a connection with an unknown dimension.

A barely discernable silhouette appeared in the vortex. He had the same appearance as Zhang Ruochen ’s. He was trying to break free, but he could not because of a big obstacle.

Countless illusory chains intertwined in the vortex. They wrapped around the faint silhouette, binding him like a prison chain, moving like fiery dragons.

The faint silhouette was Zhang Ruochen ’s Core Spirit. It was where all his spirituality was. If Blood Empress could not summon it, the Saint Soul she had condensed would become an empty shell. Even if the soul merged with Zhang Ruochen ’s body, it would not bring him back.

At the most critical moment, Blood Empress did not hesitate. Her spirit, which was on the verge of collapse, charged into the vortex with the remaining divine spirit.

Rumble

Lightning appeared in the void and struck fiercely at Blood Empress ’ soul and spirit.

Instantly, Blood Empress ’ spirit was damaged. The cracks on her soul increased, worsening its condition.

At this moment, Lord Ming mobilized his spiritual power to protect Zhang Ruochen ’s body and Saint Soul to avoid being affected.

Even if Zhang Ruochen had a Demigod-level physique, he would not be able to stand against the laws of heaven and earth.

Lord Ming would not have interfered if Blood Empress had not insisted on saving him because he could get implicated when things go south.

At the same time, in front of a Dimensional Rift opened by Infernal Court at thousands of miles away from Central Imperial City, the surrounding precepts and Saint Qi became chaotic. Cracks formed in the sky, and the ground collapsed. It was an apocalyptic scene, a terrifying sight to see.

Under the impact of such destructive force, the Dimensional Rift became unstable.

Buzz

The seven majestic cities shook. The Dimensional Rift ’s condition remained even though there was enormous energy channeled in the attempt to stabilize it.

Of course, all this was due to Blood Empress summoning Zhang Ruochen ’s soul.

The reason was that Zhang Ruochen had died in front of the Dimensional Rift. Hence, most of his soul fragments were scattered here.

”What ’s going on? ”

Sensing the unusual phenomenon around the Dimensional Rift, many Infernal Court cultivators were alarmed. They were in puzzlement.

Lightning, wind, fire… all kinds of forces at a threatening manner emerged. They pierced through the sky and formed a vast pitch-black hole. It was like an opening bloody mouth of an ancient beast that would swallow everything.

The Dimensional Rift was affected the most. It became increasingly unstable and began to collapse.

Crack!
