In the southern region.
After the Divine Phoenix ignited itself, a region that was hundreds of thousands of square miles in size remained. There were flames that were gleaming on the ground.
The fire race inhabited the Fiery Territory.
At the center of the Fiery Territory, the mud was burnt golden by the fire, and each piece of the mud could be used to make weapons.
A withered trunk of the Divine Phoenix Tree was planted in the ground.


The trunk had a diameter of more than one hundred miles, and it was more than thirty thousand feet tall. It looked more towering than mountains, and the divine light gushing out of the trunk looked like waterfalls flowing from the sky.
Qiu Yu laughed inside the withered trunk.
Zhang Ruochen, as in Sacred Crown Prince… You didn’t disappoint me at all. You were not qualified to fight me until now.

An elder of the fire race stood under the tree, and there was a flame mark on his head. He said,
A hundred thousand years ago, Saint Monk Xumi dug out the root of the Divine Phoenix Tree because he wanted to wake up the tree. Now, Saint Monk Xumi is dead, but Zhang Ruochen is likely to know where the root is as he’s the descendant of Saint Monk Xumi.

Qiu Yu turned into human shape, wearing a blue robe. He said confidently,
Time and Space Descendant or Sacred Crown Prince, he’s destined to be my foil. I’ll become a God in the future, and now, I look forward to marrying the ice phoenix from the Mu family in front of Zhang Ruochen, and the Divine Sky-connecting Tree is only going to make me grow stronger.

Peakless Mountain, the headquarters of Moon Worship Demonic Sect.
The revelation of Zhang Ruochen’s identity was a bomb, astounding everyone.
Yun Zheng, Mu Lingxi’s father, was so scared that his face paled. He had severely underestimated Zhang Ruochen before. He would’ve never realized he was the Sacred Crown Prince.
Zhang’s family had to have a solid force to establish a central empire. Even though Sacred Central Empire had been destroyed, Zhang Ruochen, as its crown prince, was certainly able to mobilize great forces.
The saint leader of Mu family shot a glance at Yun Zheng and said,
Why’re so you worried? Our hierarch is already a supreme saint, meaning he can suppress everything. The fire race could annihilate Fengdu Ghost City, not to mention a crown prince of a fallen empire. Besides, there’s no way the imperial government will just sit and watch Sacred Central Empire rise to power again. Even if Zhang Ruochen is the crown prince of Sacred Central Empire, he won’t be able to stir up anything.

Yun Zheng then calmed himself down. He said,
Saint leader is right. Our hierarch is strong enough to be an emperor, ruling everyone in the world. If that Zhang Ruochen dares trespass on Peakless Mountain, he’ll no doubt be killed.



…
The saintly way characters floated in the air in Sacred City as if they were stars shining down upon the ground.
A deafening sound came out of Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion, which used to be the royal palace of Sacred Central Empire.
Dregs of Sacred Central Empire, how dare you show up?

Boom!
A trace of golden light shot out of Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion.
The golden light formed a giant fist the size of a mountain, hitting the imperial edict of the crown prince that was floating in the air.
Sacred City was where the dregs gathered, which was why the imperial government sent Lingxiao Heavenly King to guard this place. Lingxiao Heavenly King was trusted because of his great cultivation and vicious skills.
Just now, Lingxiao Heavenly King had taken actions himself, trying to destroy the imperial edict.
The second Lingxiao Heavenly King let out his saint might, and a large group of monks in Sacred City fell down as the forces coming from Lingxiao Heavenly King tormented them so harshly that they found it difficult to breathe.
Qin Yutong stood behind Zhang Ruochen. Her lips were sparkling and sexy, and there was light flowing in her eyes. She said,
Among the royalty of First Central Empire, Lingxiao Heavenly King was the most powerful being, aside from Chi Yao. He’s been garrisoning Sacred City, and he’s killed countless officials of Sacred Central Empire. He’s ruthless and cunning. Lots of innocent people were killed as well. He was our biggest enemy, yet none of us can touch him because he’s too strong.




Saint Elder of Sacred Central Crypt didn’t take any actions?
Zhang Ruochen asked.

Saint Elder of Sacred Central utilized his full strength to seriously injure Lingxiao Heavenly King before, however, when he tried to attack him the second time, Empress Chi Yao performed a saint spell to save him.

Being able to survive an attack of the full strength of Kong Lanyou meant Lingxiao Heavenly King was at least as powerful as Zhongying King.
Zhang Ruochen squinted as he realized something was happening. He looked to the royal tome forest.
Tumbling saint mist gushed out of the tombstones of every generation of Emperor Ming, forming thousands of dragon shadows. They surged to the sky and echoed with the crown prince imperial edict in the air.
The handprint of Lingxiao Heavenly King clashed with the crown prince imperial edict.
Boom!
The crown prince imperial edict was still floating in the air, yet the handprint of Lingxiao Heavenly King was dismantled. It couldn’t damage a single word.
The ancestor of Cai’s family yelled,
All the previous emperor Mings showed their power, which meant it is the imperial edict of the true crown prince. Our crown prince is back. Does that mean Emperor Ming is back too?

Meanwhile, a saint order was sent from Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion.
Turn on the guarding formation and close the city gate. Nobody is allowed to get out. Capture the Sacred Crown Prince and the dregs of Sacred Central Empire.



All the city gates were covered by the guarding formation of Sacred City.
Meanwhile, large groups of troops started to patrol the streets, which made the entire Sacred City panic-stricken.
Granny Bai Su walked in, bowed toward Zhang Ruochen and said,
Aren’t you leaving, your highness?


I’ve already given the crown prince imperial edict, how could I leave?
Zhang Ruochen said.
Granny Bai Su saw that Zhang Ruochen had already made up his mind, so she gave up on convincing him. She said,
Lord Twelve will arrive in Sacred City tomorrow. Your highness, Lord Twelve went through a lot these past several years for the empire. I really hope you can team up to fight the imperial government instead of turning against each other.

Zhang Ruochen said,
Turning against each other is the last thing I want. I want to team up with Royal Uncle Twelve as well, so it all depends on his choice. You guys can leave now, I’m going to refine. Notify me when Uncle Twelve is here.

Zhang Ruochen sat down with his legs crossed after Bai Su and Qin Yutong left. He mobilized his techniques, formed a dividing self and sending it into Universe World.
In the past year, Zhang Ruochen had gradually integrated his saintly way rules into Universe World while drinking.
And now, Zhang Ruochen had integrated thirty percent of his saintly way rules into the heaven and earth rules of Universe World.
Which meant it would be easier for Zhang Ruochen to mobilize the power of Universe World; he now had a ten percent success rate.


As for before, his success rate might have been lower than one-hundredth of a percent.
However, his ability to mobilize the power of Universe World didn’t mean he was invincible.
First of all, Zhang Ruochen was only able to mobilize more World Power after he improved his cultivation and mind power.
Also, the stronger his body constitution was, the more World Power he was able to handle. For example, if a half saint tried to perform the power of a saint, his or her meridians, saint meridians, and body would all be crushed.
Which meant the amount of World Power Zhang Ruochen was able to use depended on his cultivation, mind power, and his body constitution. He could only better utilize World Power after he improved all three of them.
It was no easy task to be invincible.
Besides, he couldn’t just use the world power of Universe World any time he wanted. If other people knew that Zhang Ruochen had a world inside his body, perhaps supreme saints would attack him.
He didn’t have the cultivation to protect the world inside his body yet, so he needed to be careful.
A well emerged in the trunk of Divine Sky-connecting Tree.
The Spring of Lives flowed out of the well, and each drop of Spring of Lives contained great life forces. If a dying monk drank one drop of it, he would be able to live for several years more.
Being able to breed the Spring of Lives meant Divine Sky-connecting Tree was already immensely powerful.
Certainly, it was nothing compared to that during the ancient times. It was only able to produce thousands of drops, and now, there was only a small pond of it.
The Spring of Lives during the ancient times was a huge river.
The life expectancy during that time far surpassed that of now. Even ordinary human beings could live for more than one hundred years.
The corpse of Le was lying on top of the Spring of Lives, and it kept absorbing the water into his body. Taichi Life and Death Print spun faster and faster, and his life forces started to boom.

Lord Chen, he’s going to drink all the Spring of Lives. Can you spare me some of it? Just a sip! I haven’t even tried it yet.

Guoguo kept slobbering, standing beside the Spring of Lives. He couldn’t be more tempted.
However, every time it got close to the spring, Divine Sky-connecting Tree would whip it away.

Why’re you so pushy? There’s only so much Spring of Lives available. It’s reserved for people who need it the most. As Divine Sky-connecting Tree grows, there’ll be more and more Spring of Lives in the future. Guard this place, and tell me immediately after Le wakes.

Zhang Ruochen then walked toward the Sun and Moon Crystal Coffin.
Demonic Race and Fire Race must have had a great foundation to survive until now.
Zhang Ruochen knew clearly that there would be a difficult fight on the seventh day of next month.
Zhang Ruochen summoned the previous officials to bring them into Universe World instead of letting them be killed. He wanted to show them a new future to create a brighter Sacred Central Empire.
He needed a tremendous source of power to protect his previous subjects, and that power must be strong enough to rival the supreme saints from the imperial government and the demonic sect, even Chi Yao who had become a God.
Zhang Ruochen was way too weak to provide that now.
And the same went for Divine Sky-connecting Tree.
Zhang Ruochen stared at the Sun and Moon Crystal Coffin and said,
I brought you back from the netherworld, and you’ve been absorbing the life forces from the Divine Sky-connecting Tree, yet you still refuse to talk to me. You’re indeed powerful, and I’m nothing compared to you, but as the leader of Universe World, I’ve got to talk to you today.

Zhang Ruochen mobilized his holy Qi fiercely, pushed his hands forward, and then, two fire pillars of Divine Fire Jingmie were shot toward the Sun and Moon Crystal Coffin.
She chose to stay silent, yet Zhang Ruochen tried to force her to speak.
