“Where’s Supreme Saint Yuan Fei? Hurry up and tell him about this. We have to make preparations,” said Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen carried a gust of wind and landed not far from the black-ugly woman. He walked over step by step and looked at the battlefield not far away.

“Supreme Saint Yuan Fei and His Highness Pan Ruo are not here. They have gone to kill Lord Hornless,” the black-ugly woman said.

Including the two Supreme Saints at the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm, there were a total of 94 Deathkin Supreme Saints here.

The Qi of Death on their bodies was thick, and they were filled with corrosive power. Powerful energy waves constantly erupted, causing the air to boil.

The Deathkin Supreme Saints did not attack randomly. Instead, they formed two combined attack arrays.

The innermost one was formed by 60 Supreme Saints.

Each of them released hundreds of millions to billions of precepts. In total, hundreds of billions of precepts interweaved and turned into different attack powers. There were human-shaped lightning, palace-shaped fireballs, and deadly shadows…

Zhang Ruochen didn’t know how the Deathkins had managed to completely merge the 60 Supreme Saints’ precepts into one without repelling each other.

But Zhang Ruochen knew very well that if hundreds of billions of precepts came at him at the same time, he might not be able to withstand all kinds of attacks. He would most likely choose to retreat temporarily instead of fighting them head-on.

But the 22 Immortal Vampire Supreme Saints who were surrounded in the center had no way to retreat. They could only try their best to resist.

They were burning the Supreme Saint’s blood in their bodies and turning into 22 human torches. They let out long howls to resist the attacks of the 60 Deathkin Supreme Saints.

“Fight, fight until we are left with the last drop of blood.”

“This is the last day of the Battle of Celestial-Hunting. The Immortal Vampires must not fall on this day.”

…

Xuemo was the strongest of the 22 Immortal Vampires Supreme Saints. He sat cross-legged in the void and revealed nine demonic portraits. It was as if nine demonic worlds had opened up.

Nine blood holes appeared on Xuemo’s body. Nine streams of blood flowed out continuously and flowed into the nine demonic worlds to block the attacks of the Deathkin Supreme Saints.

However, Xuemo’s body quickly dried up.

The Supreme Saint blood would soon run out.

The other 21 Immortal Vampire Supreme Saints’ blood had also burned more than half of their bodies. Their battle strength had declined and they could no longer defend against the Deathkin Supreme Saint’s attack.

Despair spreads in the hearts of every Immortal Vampire Supreme Saints.

After spending hundreds of years, they stood out from hundreds of millions of Immortal Vampires and became the kings among the Saint Realm. Every single one of them was ambitious and unwilling to die just like that.

However, they could sacrifice themselves for the Immortal Vampires.

They absolutely could not die on the last day.

If that was the case, today would become their lifelong regret and they would be mocked by other cultivators for the rest of their lives.

“You are the Immortal Vampires and we are the Deathkins. Your lives are destined to be ended by us,” the Deathkin Supreme Saint in the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm with two horns on his head said in an indifferent voice.

The ugly black woman said, “Hand over the Immortal Vampires hidden on your bodies. Don’t struggle for no reason.”

Zhang Ruochen did not launch an impulsive attack. ‘The 60 Deathkin Supreme Saints in the inner layer are responsible for attacking,’ he thought to himself. ‘The 32 Deathkin Supreme Saints in the outer layer, along with the Supreme Saints in the Hundred-Shackle Realm’s Great Perfection stage with two horns, are responsible for releasing the Will of Death to prevent the Immortal Vampires Supreme Saints from self-detonating their Sainthood Source. Supreme Saint Long Li, the black-ugly woman, was guarding the outermost perimeter against outside sneak attacks.

‘The two Supreme Saints in the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm pose the least threat. The two combined attack arrays need to be broken at the first moment. As long as their powers can not be combined, the threat is not great.’

Zhang Ruochen’s hands behind his back condensed into numerous tiny Dimensional Rifts after he made his decision.

Each Dimensional Rift was only an inch long.

The black-ugly woman was very cautious. Sensing the spatial fluctuations, she immediately looked at Zhang Ruochen.

Attack.

Whoosh

Zhang Ruochen formed more than 300 Dimensional Rifts and merged the Mark of Time into them.

He waved his hand.

More than 300 Dimensional Rifts silently flew toward the black-ugly woman and nearly 100 Deathkin Supreme Saints like a black rain of knives.

“Be careful… Ah…”

The black-ugly woman had just shouted when the death qi shield protecting her body was pierced through. Six bloody holes were left on her body. Her flesh and bones seemed to have been dug out.

The inch-long Dimensional Rifts penetrated her body and could take away a piece of flesh the size of a palm.

After the Dimensional Rifts were integrated with the Mark of Time, her flying speed was more than ten times faster than before. At such a close distance, how could she avoid it with her cultivation in the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm?

Swish

The Supreme Saints’ reaction was very fast, but the Dimensional Rift was even faster.

Half of the 90 Deathkin Supreme Saints were hit by the Dimensional Rift. They made muffled sounds and suffered different degrees of injuries. The attacks of the two arrays were naturally interrupted and the formation was scattered.

Many angry eyes locked on Zhang Ruochen.

“Who are you?”

“There’s no need to ask. It’s Zhang Ruochen.”

Zhang Ruochen felt that it was a pity that he couldn’t tear open too many Dimensional Rifts inside the Albajade Tree. Otherwise, they wouldn’t just be injured.

Whoosh

Zhang Ruochen’s body disappeared in an instant.

A loud bang sounded. Before the black-ugly woman could react, Zhang Ruochen’s palm struck her neck. Her tibia broke and her body flew out.

The next moment, Zhang Ruochen appeared in front of the Deathkin Supreme Saint with horns on his head. He gently pressed his palm forward.

The Supreme Saint in the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm barely held up an arm. He wanted to resist, but Zhang Ruochen broke his arm. His body flew away like a cannonball. He crashed into a tree branch. The sound of bones breaking rang in his body, and blood flowed out of his head and back.

In less than a breath’s time, he had severely injured two Supreme Saints in the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm.

THUMP!

Zhang Ruochen stomped on the void with his left foot. The void seemed to turn into water and shook.

Then, the surging sea of divine flames spread out and enveloped all the Deathkin Supreme Saints.

“Bell of Time.”

Zhang Ruochen raised his hands. The Marks of Time between heaven and earth gathered rapidly and condensed into a huge bell above his head. It spun quickly.

Suddenly…

A deafening bell chime sounded.

The Marks of Time and sound waves surged like waves. They crashed into each Deathkin Supreme Saint and sent them flying like fallen leaves.

The Marks of Time had cut off a lot of their lifespan. Their bodies fell into a temporary state of weakness.

At this moment, the divine flame burned through their protective death qi and entered their bodies. Their skin turned crimson and turned into black dust. It spread into their bodies.

Swoosh

The Pleiades Lotus flew out of Zhang Ruochen’s hand. The seven flower petals couldn’t be cut off. They dismembered the Deathkin Supreme Saints’ Neverwither physique one by one. Their hands, feet, and heads flew everywhere.

These moves were all unleashed within a breath’s time.

The 22 Immortal Vampires were taken aback by Zhang Ruochen’s appearance. They couldn’t believe a Supreme Saint of the Hundred-Shackle Realm had such terrifying battle power. He had defeated nearly 100 Deathkin Supreme Saints on his own.

They would never forget this scene.

“He’s Here! He’s finally here! Zhang Ruochen is finally here!” An Immortal Vampire Supreme Saint laughed loudly. He couldn’t hold it in anymore. He fell from midair onto a tree branch.

Xue Ningxiao stopped using her secret technique. Her face was pale, but a smile appeared on her delicate face. It was as if she had seen a ray of light in the darkness. “It’s… It’s Cousin Ruochen…”

It was as if being Zhang Ruochen’s cousin was a kind of pride.

Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen sensed something. He suddenly turned around and punched.

The secret technique was activated by the ugly black woman. She set fire to her life and left a handprint. It smacked into Zhang Ruochen’s fist. Her fractured neck had been repaired. Her eyes were red with rage.

Boom

Zhang Ruochen caught her palm, and his body only shook slightly.

After burning her lifespan, the black-ugly woman could burst out with the battle strength of a Supreme Saint in the initial stage of the Thousand-Koan Realm in a short time. However, it was still not enough in front of Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen kicked her in the chest.

Pfft

The black-ugly woman spat out blood and flew out.

Zhang Ruochen reached out his hand and was about to use the Power of Dimension to pull her back. Suddenly, his head hurt, and the Power of Dimension was interrupted.

It was the Will of Death.

Hundreds of Deathkin Supreme Saints attacked Zhang Ruochen with the Will of Death at the same time, led by the two-horned Supreme Saint in the Hundred-Shackle Realm’s Great Perfection stage.

“You’re courting death,” said Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen withdrew the Pleiades Lotus and used the Supreme Power to defend.

Then, he put his hands together. The huge Immovable Wisdom King’s Saint Aspect rose behind him. It released a bright light that was even brighter than the sun. Its aura rose higher and higher.

“All Deathkin Supreme Saints, retreat immediately,” said the two-horned Supreme Saint in the Hundred-Shackle Realm’s Great Perfection stage. “I’ll cover the back.”

The Supreme Saints’ vitality was strong. Zhang Ruochen’s wave of attacks had only killed six Supreme Saints. The rest of the Deathkin Supreme Saints were either injured or had been burned by the Divine Purification Flame. They were all greatly weakened.

Looking at the growing Immovable Wisdom King’s Saint Aspect, they couldn’t help but feel terrified.

“What a powerful saint might. How is this still a Hundred-Shackle Realm Supreme Saint? The Thousand-Koan Realm Supreme Saints I’ve seen are also much weaker than him.”

The sound of wind breaking could be heard!

More than 80 Deathkin Supreme Saints flew in different directions. Because they were too fast, their original bodies were already dozens of miles away. The afterimages they left behind were still very clear.

The Immovable Wisdom King’s Saint Aspect grabbed the two-horned Deathkin Supreme Saint in the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm and crushed his Neverwither physique. His bones cracked.

“Ah! Zhang Ruochen, you can’t kill me. It’s just the Battle of Celestial-Hunting. We don’t have any personal grudges. Let me go and I’ll never forget your kindness.” said the two-horned Supreme Saint.

The two-horned Deathkin Supreme Saint cried out in pain. He was scared. He didn’t want to be crushed by Zhang Ruochen.

“You’re one of the top elite of the Deathkin,” Zhang Ruochen said. “You were crushed like a clay figurine in front of so many cultivators. How could you not feel resentment? If I let you go, will you remember my kindness? No, you will remember the hatred and anger in your heart. Once you have the chance, you will definitely think of ways to kill me.”

The black-ugly woman flew from behind, holding a silk-like Regal Artifact. It stretched out for more than 1,000 meters, like a bright light thread.

Zhang Ruochen did not look back. A bolt of lightning condensed in the void and struck her body.

This bolt of lightning was a spiritual power attack.

The black-ugly woman’s Qi of Death dissipated. With a scream, she fell down.

Boom

The Immovable Wisdom King’s Saint Aspect’s palm exerted force and crushed the two-horned Deathkin Supreme Saint’s body until it exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

The Divine Purification Flame in Zhang Ruochen’s palm refined the two-horned Supreme Saint’s Saint Soul into a wisp of smoke.

Even until his death, the Supreme Saint in the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm could not believe that Zhang Ruochen would really kill him.

Zhang Ruochen did not chase after the fleeing Deathkin Supreme Saints. They had either been invaded by the Divine Purification Flame or had their lifespans cut off. It would be difficult for them to recover their combat strength in a short period.

At least today, they could not continue fighting.

Xue Ningxiao flew in front of Zhang Ruochen. She looked at her cousin, who had defeated nearly a hundred Supreme Saints with a wave of his hand. Her originally pale face blushed and said, “You shouldn’t have killed Supreme Saint Xu Man,” she said softly. “He’s Deathkin’s God Candidate. He has a deity backing him. If you kill him, you’ll have a vendetta.”

Zhang Ruochen said, “Don’t the Immortal Vampires have a grudge against the Deathkin? We’ve killed many of the Scions and Scionesses of the Deathkin anyway. Killing one more won’t make much of a difference.”

“The position of Scion or Scioness might not be as high as the God Candidate,” Xue Ningxiao muttered. She didn’t dare say it out loud.

The Albajade Tree couldn’t tear open too much space inside. Zhang Ruochen couldn’t send his enemies into the void, so he had to kill them.

“Greetings, Supreme Saint Ruochen.”

The Supreme Saints of the Immortal Vampires all bowed to Zhang Ruochen. Their eyes were filled with respect and worship.

Zhang Ruochen said, “Give me all your clansmen.”

Xue Ningxiao hesitated for a moment, but said, “Cousin, if you take your clansmen with you, it will definitely affect your combat power.”

“Don’t worry. I have many Regal Artifacts that are suitable for storing lifeforms. I won’t use them as weapons.”

As he spoke, Zhang Ruochen took out 11 Regal Artifacts. There was a brush, a cauldron, a sword… all of them had stable and huge internal spaces. Even ordinary humans could survive in them for a while.

The Immortal Vampire Supreme Saints all looked at each other.

The only Regal Artifacts they had were all shattered. They had suffered heavy losses. After all, the Regal Artifacts they had brought into the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting were their strongest weapons. They were worth more than half their wealth.

On the other hand, Zhang Ruochen took out more than 10 of them.

This comparison made them feel sad.

They were all Supreme Saints. Why was there such a big difference?

Zhang Ruochen put the 34 million surviving clansmen into 11 Regal Artifacts and stared at the Immortal Vampires. He said, “You’re too heavily injured. Leave the battlefield! Leave the rest to me.”

The Immortal Vampires didn’t leave. They stood still and showed their determination to Zhang Ruochen through their eyes that they wanted to continue fighting along his side.

Only Xuemo stood up, he sighed. “Too much Supreme Saint blood has been lost. We can’t continue fighting! Don’t just stand there. Let’s go together. Zhang Ruochen is The Scion of Time and Space. If he wants to escape, the Deathkin and Yanluo clan Supreme Saints won’t be able to stop him.”

Thinking of this, the Immortal Vampires Supreme Saints nodded. It made sense.

WHOOSH!

Streaks of white light flashed. The Mystic Eye of Myriad Realms sent all the Immortal Vampires out of the battlefield.

As Xuemo had predicted, Zhang Ruochen’s best option now was to flee with the remaining Immortal Vampires and hide until the Battle of Celestial-Hunting was over.

This way, the Immortal Vampires could at least be ranked second. They might even have a chance of staying first.

As long as Lord Hornless wasn’t killed by the Yanluo clan.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t run away. He took out the diamond-shaped mirror and glanced at it:

Immortal Vampires, 89.75 million points.

Yanluo clan, 89.07 million points.

The Immortal Vampires were in the lead. They were still in the lead.

But how much longer could they stay in the lead?

“Luo Sha and Moyin should be able to react soon. I hope the final decision isn’t about which clan can kill Lord Hornless.”

Zhang Ruochen did not want to kill Lord Hornless, but he also hoped that he could win more easily.

However, to be safe, he had to find Lord Hornless first, or at least stop the Yanluo clan from killing him. If there was a chance, he would not mind cutting off one of Lord Hornless’s hands or legs.

Therefore, Zhang Ruochen released his spiritual power to search for the Qi of Lord Hornless, Supreme Saint Yuan Fei, and the others. Then, he spread his ten wings and flew in one direction.

This time, he didn’t change into the appearance of a Deathkin cultivator.

The Deathkin Supreme Saint who had escaped just now must have passed the news to Supreme Saint Yuan Fei. With his intelligence, he would be cautious. There was no point in changing into the appearance of a Deathkin cultivator.

Of course, Zhang Ruochen hid in the space as if he was invisible.

…

The Scroll of Truth and Deceit unfolded and turned into a lightmap that was hundreds of miles long.

On the scroll, there were not only words, but also mountains, rivers, and lakes.

Words and scenes appeared and disappeared at times, sometimes in nothingness, and sometimes in reality.

400 Deathkin Supreme Saints were standing in all directions of the Scroll of Truth and Deceit.

Lord Hornless was only about 10 miles away from the Scroll of Truth and Deceit, and he was being attacked by words one by one. There were more than 100,000 words. Each of them was 33 centimeters long and heavier than a mountain. They turned into a sea of words.

BOOM!

Even though Lord Hornless’s cultivation level was high and his defense was impenetrable, he was able to send the words flying. However, even if the words were destroyed and turned into nothingness, they could be formed immediately. They continued to attack him as if they were endless.

Supreme Saint Yuan Fei and Pan Ruo stood at the center of the Scroll of Truth and Deceit. There were words beneath their feet.

“Use the words to attack and deplete Lord Hornless’s Saint Qi. At that time, he will only have physical strength left and he will be exhausted. Then, we can easily kill him,” Supreme Saint Yuan Fei said.

Pan Ruo stood at the side and a look of confusion flashed across her eyes.

She had to admit that she had underestimated Supreme Saint Yuan Fei in the past. This person was not as easy to use as he appeared to be. He had many things hidden in his heart. Just like the power of the Scroll of Truth and Deceit, it was only now that it was fully unleashed. It had always been hidden.

Originally, Pan Ruo thought that the Scroll of Truth and Deceit was given to Supreme Saint Yuan Fei by the Deathkin’s deity.

However, after witnessing Supreme Saint Yuan Fei’s mastery of the Scroll of Truth and Deceit, she couldn’t help but suspect that this Supreme Artifact had long been a weapon of Supreme Saint Yuan Fei.

It was able to use the Scroll of Truth and Deceit to hide all the Deathkin Supreme Saints and from Lord Hornless’s senses. After they approached him, they suddenly erupted and trapped him completely.

What did this mean?

It meant that Supreme Saint Yuan Fei had cultivated the Path of Oblivion and his attainments were not low.

Otherwise, how could he accurately control the Power of Oblivion of the Scroll of Truth and Deceit? This was something Pan Ruo didn’t know before.

Not to mention Pan Ruo, even Que, who was standing in the Scroll of Truth and Deceit, in deep thoughts.

…
