Que, a top Hundred-Shackle Realm elite on the ranking, was a Master of Oblivion.

Yan Wushen, a Yuanhui-level genius with demi-buddha physique, had attained the Great Perfection in terms of his Precepts at his Saint Kinghood.

Lord Hornless was a Banshi Isshou Supreme Saint.

The three powerful figures were all existences that all living beings looked up to. However, at this moment, the three of them could only fight Zhang Ruochen to a draw.

There was nothing more shocking than this.

“With this Saintwill, Zhang Ruochen can definitely go a long way in his future practice,” said a deity who was in deep thought.

All the deities understood that the longer a cultivator could practice, the higher their cultivation level would be.

During a cultivator’s Sainthood, it was crucial to choose a wide enough path, lay a strong foundation, and support themselves to keep going and become stronger.

Even the deities who held grudges against Zhang Ruochen started to think about whether they should kill Zhang Ruochen at all costs or use some means to resolve their feuds.

After all, with such talent, Zhang Ruochen should be able to attain Godhood in less than a thousand years.

Once he ascended, he would be superior among the deities.

A thousand years was too short a time.

If they went into seclusion training, a thousand years might pass already when they came out. By then, Zhang Ruochen would already be a deity.

Certain things had to be resolved in time. The longer they delayed, the more serious the consequences would be.

Zhang Ruochen’s weight in the deities’ views had changed!

Ancient God of Knowledge and Luo Yan were still in the divine realm of Wargod Bloodximius. They held their wine cups and said no words. No one knew what they were thinking. The atmosphere turned uncanny.

Blood Empress stared in the direction of the Celestial-Hunting battlefield. Her eyes were solemn. Apparently, she was worried.

On the surface, Zhang Ruochen was fighting three enemies simultaneously, but in reality, it was extremely dangerous. Once his Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill was broken, the outcome could be tragic for Zhang Ruochen.

It would only take a moment to decide life or death.

The key was that even with her cultivation in the divine realm, she couldn’t predict the outcome of the upcoming victory or defeat.

…

After a short moment of shock, Supreme Saint Yuanfei’s eyes darkened. He said, “Let’s join hands to use the Seal of Hollow.”

Pan Ruo could not help but say, “No…”

Supreme Saint Yuanfei stared at her sternly and said, “Your Highness, what do you mean by ‘No’?”

Pan Ruo’s panicked heart quickly recovered. She said calmly, “The battle between the four of them is very dangerous at the moment. They are in a delicate balance. Once the balance is broken, the lives of the four of them will be in danger.”

“Do you care so much about Que’s safety, Your Highness? Don’t forget Que just ruined our big plan. I don’t care about the lives of Zhang Ruochen, Que, and Yan Wushen. I just want to kill Lord Hornless.”

Supreme Saint Yuanfei raised his hand. Countless word characters flew up from the ground and imprisoned Pan Ruo.

Que had ruined Supreme Saint Yuanfei’s plan, and Pan Ruo was the one who had brought him here. Obviously, this pissed Supreme Saint Yuanfei off and affected their ties.

“Seal of Hollow.”

Under Supreme Saint Yuanfei’s control, the huge “Hollow” character fell rapidly.

Seeing this, the deities behind Zhang Ruochen, Yan Wushen, and Que couldn’t sit still. If the three of them died, it would be a huge loss for either side.

“No deity is allowed to interfere in the Celestial-Hunting battle. This is the rule.” Fukurokuju’s stern voice spread throughout the Fane of Destiny.

Boom!

The “Hollow” seal landed and hit the Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill, creating a huge ripple.

The balance was broken. The Taiji diagram around Zhang Ruochen couldn’t hold on anymore. It broke apart. The surging power hit the four.

“Ptui!”

The four spat out blood and flew in four directions.

Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen both had Supreme Artifacts to protect them. Comparatively, they weren’t too badly injured. The first thing Que did was virtualize himself into an incorporeal state. Hence, most of the impact force had been neutralized; he did not receive any major injuries.

Only Lord Hornless, who was at the end of his rope, was the most severely injured. His body had almost been destroyed, with large areas left with only his bones.

Even his vitality was rapidly declining.

Everyone could see that Lord Hornless was really done for. It was just one last attack away from taking his life. The life of this Supreme Saint at Banshi Isshou Realm was about to reach its end.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Zhang Ruochen, Yan Wushen, and Que couldn’t care less about their injuries. They rushed toward Lord Hornless at their fastest speed.

Their speed was even faster than using Great Dimensional Shift at such a close distance. Using the Great Dimensional Shift move would require time.

Supreme Saint Yuanfei gritted his teeth and seized every second. He controlled the word “Hollow” and attacked Lord Hornless.

Lord Hornless knew that he would die today. He smiled bitterly and glared at Zhang Ruochen. He roared, “Zhang Ruochen, you bastard. Even if I die today, I’ll drag you down with me.”

RAWWWRRRRR!

He transformed into his true form, the Hornless Dragon, and charged at Zhang Ruochen.

The huge eyes of the Hornless Dragon saw Zhang Ruochen flying towards it. There was no sadness or fear. It was already the best outcome for it to die at Zhang Ruochen’s hands and help her highness to accomplish her goals.

“No!”

Que, Yan Wushen, and Yuan Fei shouted almost at the same time.

The Seal of Hollow, formed by Supreme Saint Yuan Fei, was the closest to Lord Hornless. It was about to kill him first. Who would have thought that Lord Hornless would want to die with Zhang Ruochen before he died?

The victory that was right in front of them slipped away again.

Once Lord Hornless succeeded and died with Zhang Ruochen, those 30 million points would go to Immortal Vampires.

Lord Hornless was already self-detonating his Sainthood Source. It was too late for anyone to use spiritual power to suppress him.

Yan Wushen and Que forced themselves to stop. They stared at Zhang Ruochen deeply. Then, they fled the scene quickly. They didn’t want to die under Lord Hornless’self-detonation.

Zhang Ruochen only exchanged a glance with Lord Hornless. Zhang Ruochen understood all Lord Hornless’ emotions. Then he roared, “You won’t be able to self-detonate in front of me that easily.”

“Null Time Realm!”

The Null Time Realm’s domain enveloped the huge Hornless Dragon. In the domain, time slowed down and almost stopped. It bought Zhang Ruochen a moment of time.

“Dimensional Sword Dance!”

36 Dimensional Swords condensed around Zhang Ruochen and wrapped him up. They hit the center of Lord Hornless’ brows and pierced through.

Bang! Bang!

Zhang Ruochen and the 36 Dimensional Swords rushed from the head to the tail of the Hornless Dragon. By the time he flew out, he was covered in blood. In his hand was a crystal clear Sainthood Source.

In the end, Lord Hornless could not self-detonate.

The Hornless Dragon let out a mournful cry. Its huge body fell, and its breath of life completely disappeared.

At this moment, the entire world was silent. All eyes were on Zhang Ruochen.

Pan Ruo wanted to cry, but she restrained herself in the end. She knew that Lord Hornless didn’t die in vain. Everything was worth it. If she was in Zhang Ruochen’s shoes, she wouldn’t feel sad if she died under Zhang Ruochen’s sword.

…

The battle was still going on in the starry sky outside the Albajade Tree. The Supreme Saints of all races were hunting the escaping Celestial Captives. There were less than 100 Supreme Saint Celestial Captives left.

The Supreme Saint army of the Immortal Vampires rushed back and joined the battle.

“Charge!”

Xue Tu used five Regal Artifacts to kill a Supreme Saint Celestial Captive at Neverwilt Realm. First, he took away his Sainthood Source. Next, he cut off the Supreme Saint’s heart, lungs, and kidneys… In other words, he sorted and stored all the valuable items on the Supreme Saint’s body carefully.

Finally, he collected the drops of blood from the Supreme Saint’s corpse with a jade bottle. Only then did he nod in satisfaction.

He took the diamond-shaped mirror out of habit to check his points.

“1,770,000. Not Bad, not bad. My performance in the Celestial-Hunting battle was too outstanding. I’m even better than some of the Supreme Saints at the Great Perfection of the Hundred-Shackle Realm. I’ll definitely be a prominent talent nurtured by the clan.

“The key is that I’ve seized several Regal Artifacts. I’ve collected a lot of Sainthood Sources, blood, heart, kidneys… I should be able to sell them at a high price. It should be enough to support my training until I reach the Great Perfection of the Hundred-Shackle Realm. “Unfortunately…”

Thinking about how Zhang Ruochen had taken eight Regal Artifacts away from him, Xue Tu was resentful.

‘How could there be such a shameless person in the world?’

“I just owe him a Supreme Artifact, and it was already taken away by him. Why does he keep pestering me to repay ‘debts’ at any time?

“When I attain the Great Perfection of Hundred-Shackle Realm, I must take revenge.

“If he still insists repayment from me, he will have to defeat me first— Eh?”

Suddenly, Xue Tu’s eyes widened. He looked at the diamond-shaped mirror in shock as if he had seen a ghost.

Why did the points of the Immortal Vampires suddenly increase by 30 million?

It was now 120 million!

“Lord Hornless! Lord Hornless must have been killed. He is a Supreme Saint in the Banshi Isshou Realm. Who could possibly kill him?”

Zhang Ruochen’s figure appeared in Xue Tu’s mind. He quickly checked Zhang Ruochen’s score.

A moment later, he was stunned again.

“As expected! As expected… Amazing! He actually killed a Banshi Isshou Supreme Saint. How can he be so OP?” Xue Tu lightly brushed his chest to calm himself after he said it. “I was too conceited. I was too conceited just now. I must keep a low profile, a low profile…” he muttered to himself.

Then, he immediately hid the five Regal Artifacts.

Gradually,

Immortal Vampires, Bone Clan, Netherkin, Yanluo Clan… the cultivators of the ten clans all saw the changes in their points. Some were happy and excited, some were silent, and some shook their heads and sighed.

“Yanluo Clan… was defeated in the end…”

“We have become sinners. We have lost the honor of the supreme clan.”

The morale among the Supreme Saints of Yanluo Clan charging at the Albajade Tree went low. It was as if the Celestial-Hunting battle had ended prematurely. Even if they killed all the other Supreme Saint Celestial Captives, their points wouldn’t surpass the Immortal Vampires’.

The defeat was set.

After killing Lord Hornless, the injuries Zhang Ruochen suppressed and endured finally went out of control. Cracks appeared on his body, as if his body was about to explode.

The power contained in the Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill ran through his body, shattering his blood vessels, arteries, veins, and meridians.

He could only rely on the Qi of Life contained in the Heart of the Divine Tree to repair his body. However, blood continued to seep out of his skin.

All the Yanluo cultivators lost their will to fight, but Yan Wushen didn’t give up. He took out the diamond-shaped mirror and looked at the points on it. Then he stared at Zhang Ruochen, “No, we haven’t lost yet. There’s still a chance.”

Then he raised his voice and asked Pan Ruo, “Your Highness, are the rest of the Immortal Vampires with Zhang Ruochen? Help me calculate. Yanluo Clan owes you a favor.”

This favor was owed by the entire Yanluo Clan, not Yan Wushen.

In other words, as long as she helped, Yanluo Clan would support her in pursuing the position of the Scioness of Destiny at the critical moment.

Pan Ruo had no choice.

Her only competitor was Lady Wind.

It was in her interest to defeat the Immortal Vampires.

If she didn’t agree, everyone could see that she was helping Zhang Ruochen and the Immortal Vampires. If she continued to investigate, everything that happened in the Celestial-Hunting battlefield would be related to her and Zhang Ruochen.

Pan Ruo held the Door of Trueself and adjusted the Precepts of Destiny. She started to calculate.

Que’s face was cold. “Zhang Ruochen, give me the Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill and a Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill, and I’ll leave the Celestial-Hunting battlefield now and stop meddling in the fight between the Immortal Vampires and Yanluo Clan.”

There was a strong sense of threat in his words.

Supreme Saint Yuanfei said, “I want a Supreme Artifact, a Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill, and 100,000 Godstones. As long as you agree to this condition, the Deathkin won’t interfere in your fight.

“You can owe me 100,000 Godstones until after the Celestial-Hunting battle. However, you must swear in the name of Wargod Bloodximius and Blood Empress.”

Even if the points of the Immortal Vampires were cut in half, the Deathkin would not be able to surpass them.

Since that was the case, it was better to take advantage of the situation and obtain some benefits.

Supreme Saint Yuan Fei believed that Zhang Ruochen, who was seriously injured, would definitely choose to compromise and accept any of their terms. Otherwise, if all the major forces joined hands, Zhang Ruochen would not be able to leave the battlefield alive.

Furthermore, the points of the Immortal Vampires would be reduced half if that was the case.

Supreme Saint Yuan Fei felt a little regretful. He felt that he didn’t ask for enough. He should have made harsher conditions.

Zhang Ruochen temporarily suppressed the chaotic power of the Saintwill in his body. He laughed. “I’m the Scion of Time and Space. I can go anywhere. Do you think I will agree to your terms?”

Swoosh!

Zhang Ruochen turned into a streak of golden light and rushed out.

“Stop right there!”

Yuan Fei controlled The Seal of Hollow to suppress Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen did not want to be surrounded. He held the Pleiades Lotus and floated above his head. The lotus bloomed with a bone-chilling black light. Thousands of phantoms appeared and blocked The Seal of Hollow for a moment.

Zhang Ruochen took this opportunity to surprise everyone. He flew to the The Scroll of Truth and Deceit and shouted, “If you want a Supreme Artifact, I can give you one now.”

Violet Gourd appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s hand.

“Quick! Activate the defensive inscriptions of the scroll to strengthen the Seal of Hollow!”

Supreme Saint Yuan Fei saw that Zhang Ruochen was getting closer and closer. He thought that Zhang Ruochen was going to activate the Supreme Artifact to attack, so he immediately withdrew the power to control the the Seal of Hollow and activated another power contained in The Scroll of Truth and Deceit:

The Seal of Actuality.

It was to enter defense mode from attack mode.

One by one, the “Actuality” word characters rose up on the edge of the scroll and arranged themselves into a scripture.

However, Zhang Ruochen was so fast that he barged into The Scroll of Truth and Deceit. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Supreme Saint Yuan Fei.

Bang! Bang!

He sent 13 palm strikes in a row.

He executed Dragon-Elephant Prajna Palm Strike from the first move to the 13th move. All of them landed on Supreme Saint Yuan Fei.

Supreme Saint Yuan Fei was sent flying 13 times in a row. All the bones in his body were almost shattered. His body was turning into a pool of blood. It was unknown whether he was alive or dead.

“How dare you!”

The voices of the Deathkin Supreme Saints rang out one after another. They could not contain their anger. They all used their spiritual power of Death power in attempt to crush Zhang Ruochen’s soul and spirit.

However, Zhang Ruochen had already escaped. He flew dozens of miles away from The Scroll of Truth and Deceit.

After Yuan Fei was beaten to the ground, the Seal of Actuality of The Scroll of Truth and Deceit had disappeared. Of course, it couldn’t stop Zhang Ruochen from leaving. Zhang Ruochen could come and go as he wished.

A Deathkin Supreme Saint suddenly cried out, “Oh no, Zhang Ruochen has taken her highness away!”

“He caught her highness using the Violet Gourd. Zhang Ruochen is a beast. How dare he abduct a woman at such a dangerous time?”

“Quick. Stop Zhang Ruochen from leaving. Don’t forget about what he did to Yan Zhexian whom he caught. He has the balls to do anything he wants. If we’re late, things can go awry.”
