God Emperor

The bigger the God-swallowing Bug was, the stronger its cultivation and more terrifying its combat abilities.

Earlier, the ones that Zhang Ruochen and Martial Saint Canglan had encountered were the size of fingernails. Even then, Thousand-pattern Saint Weapons couldnt penetrate them.

Now, there were many more insects on the trunk. Some were even the size of basins.

Zhang Ruochen and Martial Saint Canglan quickly collected their auras and held their breath. They stood in place without moving, afraid that the insects would wake up.

An hour later, the blue firelight on the trunk finally dimmed. All the God-swallowing Bugs fell into a slumber.

Both of them sighed in relief and retreated cautiously. They didnt stop until they reached a relatively safe area.

“So scary. If we woke them up, even a Saint King wouldve died, let alone us.” Martial Saint Canglans pretty eyes looked toward Zhang Ruochen. She smiled brightly. “Thank you for that!”

“I only stopped you because I was worried that youd kill me too.” Zhang Ruochens attention was on the Divine Sky-connecting Tree in the distance. His eyes were ponderous.

“What, youre unwilling to give up and still want to get the trunk?” Martial Saint Canglan understood his thoughts. “Just those God-swallowing Bugs could kill us a hundred times over. I suspect there are even more powerful things deep within the tree trunk. After all, its been there for 100,000 years. It wouldnt be strange, no matter how many terrifying things it could produce.”

Zhang Ruochen was silent for a bit. Then he sat down cross-legged. The 144 apertures on his body shone brightly. He absorbed the divine Qi coming from the tree.

“You really are dense. You wont even look or react to me.”

Martial Saint Canglan had never met a man like Zhang Ruochen. He acted like she didnt exist. Did her beauty, figure, status, and cultivation not interest him at all?

Seeing that Zhang Ruochen was cultivating seriously, Martial Saint Canglan also calmed down.

This is indeed a great place for cultivation. If I can absorb enough divine Qi from the tree, adding to the Chaotic Qi from Zhang Ruochen, I can have a breakthrough.

After all the battles in recent times, Martial Saint Canglan had new understandings of the Martial Way. After these two special encounters, she was confident in entering the Heaven Pass Realm.
