God Emperor

“Oh no.”

The two Supreme Saints in the Great Perfection stage of Hundred-Shackle Realm were afraid to be sucked into Violet Gourd. Unable to care for the sword and Black-armored Corpse Kings, they quickly shot out two mighty clouds of death. With the rebound force from the clouds, they flew backward like cannonballs.

Boom!

Elixir Spirit of Blood Clover, the Regal Artifact sword, and more than 3,000 Black-armored Corpse Kings within the area covered by Dimensional Array were sucked into Violet Gourd.

“That cauldron…”

In the reflection of Zhang Ruochen’s pupils, Supreme Saint Yanhong’s Purple Cauldron flew over quickly, but it did not shrink in size.

With a ‘bang’, Purple Cauldron crashed heavily into the mouth of Violet Gourd.

At the same time, a large amount of lightning surged out of the cauldron. Like a dragon or a snake, the lightning swam across the surface of the gourd and struck Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen’s reaction was extremely fast. In an instant, the ten golden wings on his back bent forward and wrapped around his entire body. The wings folded and turned into a Golden Orb.

Violet Gourd and the Golden Orb were sent flying after being struck by dozens of lightning bolts.

Supreme Saint Yanhong’s graceful figure flew out from behind Purple Cauldron like a ghost spirit. Her slender legs landed on the edge of the cauldron. A crisp sound rang out when the red jade bracelets on her ankles collided with each other.

“It’s not that easy to snatch my things.”

The lightning from Purple Cauldron turned the area within a hundred miles into a forbidden zone. It also reflected Supreme Saints Yanhong’s figure, which was both beautiful and demonic.

Suddenly, her eyes shone with a scorching light. She discovered Violet Gourd in the pitch-black dimension and revealed a look of joy. She immediately stretched out her snow-white hand and grabbed at it.

Her silhouette white hand reached over 80 miles in an instant.

Boom!

Just as she was about to retrieve Violet Gourd, Warlord Mara chopped down with his axe and cut off her hand’s silhouette.

Seeing that Warlord Mara had arrived and was rapidly approaching Violet Gourd, Supreme Saint Yanhong let out a cold snort. She kicked Purple Cauldron lightly with her feet, and it immediately flew out to collide with him.

On the other side, two Supreme Saints in the Great Perfection stage of Hundred-Shackle Realm were from Corpusian and Stone clan. Their gazes landed on Violet Gourd. They were overjoyed and immediately activated their secret techniques to fly toward the direction of the gourd at their fastest speed.

The gourd itself was a precious asset. Furthermore, there were three Quasi-Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pills in it.

Whoever could obtain the gourd would be the biggest winner in this pill snatching competition.

After all, the deities and millions of cultivators from Infernal Court were watching. Whoever performed well would gain higher status and greatest fame in Infernal Court.

“Blood-dripped Corpse Emperor,”

Hundred-Shackle Realm Corpusian in the Great Perfection stage slit his right wrist. Large amounts of corpse blood flowed out and condensed into a Black-armored Corpse Emperor. The aura of a Neverwilt Realm Supreme Saint erupted from his body.

“Don’t try to fight with me. I, Black-Feathered Corpse Emperor, want Zhang Ruochen’s gourd!”

Black-Feathered Corpse Emperor’s true form moved to the right and blocked the Supreme Saint from Stone clone, Qiang Zun. A palm strike containing corrosive power crashed down.

At the same time, Black-armored Corpse Emperor condensed from corpse blood flew rapidly toward Violet Gourd.

The other cultivators of Infernal Court didn’t expect this to happen. After a moment of shock, they were all in ebullience.

“Quick, go and take Zhang Ruochen’s gourd. That’s the real treasure.”

“Taking the gourd is equivalent to taking three Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pills.”

“Zhang Ruochen had thrown the helve after the hatchet this time. So what if he snatched three Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pills? He was only paving the way for others.”

Violet Gourd was too valuable. The cultivators that were closer all rushed over.

Meanwhile, the Elixir Spirit of the Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill that Lord Xia Yu and Supreme Saint Yi Xuan fought for was shaped like a peony, but it was dark green. The flower was more than 3,000 meters long and looked like a flower cloud. It was about to be taken.

However, Wu Jiang stepped in and snatched it.

Wu Jiang held Elixir Spirit of Peony in his palm. He was tall and handsome, he smiled proudly and said, “I know you guys are recalcitrant, but you can’t blame me. You can only blame Zhang Ruochen. Someone has to bear the price for Zhang Ruochen in stealing my Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill.”

Supreme Saint Yi Xuan and Lord Xia Yu watched as Wu Jiang disappeared into the darkness of the universe. They were furious, but they restrained themselves due to the Celestial-hunting rules. Therefore, they didn’t attack.

“Wu Jiang is too powerful. Even if the two of us join hands, we might not be his match.” Supreme Saint Yi Xuan sighed. He was extremely disappointed, “I will keep my promise to you.”

Lord Xia Yu stared in the direction where Wu Jiang left and said, “The Dharma Saintwill Wu Jiang unleashed earlier should be a top-tier Grade Three Saintwill. Otherwise, it would be impossible to suppress the Elixir Spirit of Peony with just one attack. Even though we managed to suppress the Elixir Spirit at that time.”

“Are you worried that he could fuse a Grade Two Saintwill after obtaining the Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill?” Supreme Saint Yi Xuan asked.

Lord Xia Yu said, “Forming Grade Two Saintwill is as difficult as ascending to heaven. But Wu Jiang’s talent would be considered invincible if he was in another era. Hence, with the help of Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill, the chances will greatly increase.”

Faced with a figure like Wu Jiang, even if Lord Xia Yu thought highly of herself, she had to admit that there was a big gap between the both of them.

“Don’t worry. Zhang Ruochen has already taken two Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pills. Once he reaches the Hundred-Shackle Realm, he’ll definitely be able to counter Wu Jiang,” Supreme Saint Yi Xuan said.

“Not good.”

Lord Xia Yu was in the deep space of the universe. Lord Xia Yu had a ghastly expression when she saw Zhang Ruochen and Violet Gourd being hit by Supreme Saint Yanhong.

Supreme Saint Yi Xuan followed her gaze and looked over, “Our Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill has been taken away. It’s impossible to take it back. Zhang Ruochen’s Violet Gourd should have stored the third Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill already. We can’t afford to lose that gourd.”

“Let’s go.”

Lord Xia Yu was even more anxious. She knew that Violet Gourd was the only Supreme Artifact in Immortal Vampires. If it was taken away at the start of Celestial-Hunting battle, the entire Immortal Vampires would become the laughing stock of Infernal Court.

“This bastard Zhang Ruochen, doesn’t he know that he should quit while he’s ahead? Why did he steal from Supreme Saint Yanhong? Now we’re in big trouble!” Lord Xia Yu was speechless. She spread the ten wings on her back and flew at full speed.

“Other than Lord Xia Yu, Bloodysky Clan has another Supreme Saint in the Great Perfection stage of Hundred-Shackle Realm. When did Supreme Saint Yi Xuan breakthrough his realm?”

“This is incredible! Lord Xia Yu, Supreme Saint Yi Xuan, and Zhang Ruochen. Just one Bloodysky Clan has three powerhouses. Who can compete with the ten major clans of Immortal Vampires?”

“If Dishastan continues to be enemies with Bloodysky Clan this year, I’m afraid they’ll suffer a great loss.”

…

After Supreme Saint Yi Xuan’s cultivation was exposed, everyone was shocked.

The forces that had a conflict of interest with the Bloodysky Clan were under even more pressure.

Xu stared at Lord Xia Yu and Supreme Saint Yi Xuan, who was rushing to help Zhang Ruochen. He said to himself, “They’ve hidden their strength so well. It seems that Bloodysky Clan is very ambitious for this year’s Celestial-Hunting Festival.”

He opened his palm and lifted Pleiades Lotus. He attacked Lord Xia Yu and Supreme Saint Yi Xuan.

Even if he didn’t take the Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill, he had to stop Zhang Ruochen’s reinforcements. He had to isolate Zhang Ruochen. At the same time, he was helping Supreme Saint Yanhong take Violet Gourd.

Black-armored Corpse King, formed by Black-Feathered Corpse Emperor using blood, was the first to arrive. It reached out to grab Violet Gourd.

Before the black corpse hand could touch the Gourd, crimson-gold flames that contained destructive heat surged out of the Gourd.

Crack

Even a Corpse Emperor’s power couldn’t withstand the gourd’s power. Its hand was melted by the flames and turned back into a ball of black corpse blood.

The Crimson-gold Flames were the power of Violet Gourd’s vessel spirit.

One had to know that a vessel spirit’s power was comparable to a Supreme Saint from Hundred-Shackle Realm.

30 miles away, Zhang Ruochen’s true form appeared from Golden Orb. He grabbed with his hand and Violet Gourd flew toward him automatically. However, Violet Gourd stopped after flying for a short distance.

Strands of hair wrapped around the Gourd. The strands of hair pulled the gourd tightly and stopped Zhang Ruochen from taking it away.

It was Supreme Saint Yanhong’s hair.

Each strand of hair was like a holy chain. It was extremely tough and contained Precepts.

Zhang Ruochen frowned. He took a step forward and stepped into the Dimensional Gate. He used Great Dimensional Shift and prepared to descend next to Violet Gourd.

Supreme Saint Yanhong’s technique was brilliant as she quickly got rid of Warlord Mara. Her hands emitted a pink fog of light and continued to smash into Purple Cauldron.

The Purple Cauldron flew above Violet Gourd and rotated slowly.

The first circle immediately brought a fierce squall that turned into a huge purple tornado.

The second circle made the squall even more terrifying. It shook the Dimension.

In the third circle…

Purple Cauldron spun faster and faster. It forced Zhang Ruochen — who was using Great Dimensional Shift — to fall out of the Dimension. He was thrown out and his body glided through the void space.

The power of Purple Cauldron was extremely shocking. It swept the sky and earth. Wind blades and lightning shuttled through the tornado. The wind pillar rose to a thousand miles high. The center became a forbidden land of death.

Even a Supreme Saint in the Great Perfection stage of Hundred-Shackle Realm didn’t dare to approach it.

“Supreme Saint Yanhong’s methods are quite powerful,” Having to suffer at the hands of Supreme Saint Yanhong twice, Zhang Ruochen had a new assessment of her.

She was an extremely difficult woman to deal with!

As expected, none of the candidates who could become Fane of Destiny’s Scioness were easy to deal with.

The power of Purple Cauldron was fully unleashed. Energy ripples surged out like waves. Everyone knew that Supreme Saint Yanhong was suppressing Violet Gourd.

If she succeeded, they would be forced to follow the rules and stop competing.

Supreme Saint Yanhong stood at the edge of the Purple Lightning Storm. Her hair swayed in the void and her robes fluttered. Occasionally, the lightning that flashed by her side reflected her facial features clearly. She was both as beautiful as a fairy and a flirtatious demon.

Boom!

Warlord Mara was the most powerful one amongst everyone present. He was no weaker than a Supreme Saint who was in the top ten of the Great Perfection stage in Hundred-Shackle Realm. He waved the blood-red ax in his hand and slashed it towards Purple Cauldron.

The ax was once stained with the blood of Immortal Vampires’ deity. It contained a powerful divinity.

“Such powerful strength,”

Even Supreme Saint Yanhong felt a sense of fear. She hit her palm strike at Purple Cauldron and summoned dozens of bolts of lightning that were as thick as water buckets. They interweaved into a pillar of lightning and clashed with the blood-red ax.

Boom!

The blood-red ax was a Class four Regal Artifact while Purple Cauldron was a Class five Regal Artifact.

When the two artifacts clashed, the power erupted shook the void within a thousand miles and turned the sky and earth upside down.

Warlord Mara’s attack was blocked.

“Warlord Mara, I can give you one of the Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pills. Only if you help me take the gourd,” Supreme Saint Yanhong said.

She needed time to suppress the gourd.

However, there were enemies all around her and they were eyeing the gourd covetously. At this moment, she could only have a chance of success if she win over her allies.

“I want two,” Warlord Mara said.

“Aren’t you too greedy?”

Supreme Saint Yanhong was furious. If it wasn’t for Warlord Mara’s cultivation base which had reached the Great Perfection stage of Hundred-Shackle Realm — making his combat power increase exponentially and becoming a top-tier force — he wouldn’t have even been qualified to be her ally in the past.

“More and more cultivators are rushing over. If you don’t agree to my conditions, you might not even get one.” Warlord Mara smirked. He was confident that Supreme Saint Yanhong would definitely compromise.

“That’s my gourd. When Is it your turn to discuss the distribution rights?”

Zhang Ruochen spread his hands and opened up a vast starry sky. He displayed the Realm-frame of Truth “Shoreless Star Ocean.” He wrapped Purple Cauldron, Violet Gourd, Supreme Saint Yanhong, Warlord Mara, and all the cultivators of Infernal Court in this void dimension.

Without the limitation of dimension, the Realm-frame of Truth was perfectly displayed.

Each planet in the Realm-frame of Truth was enormous. They evolved into the geography of mountains and rivers, bursting out with powerful Qi fluctuations.

Zhang Ruochen spread out his hands and suddenly closed them.

“Incarceration of Divine Demon”

A huge phantom of a demon appeared behind Zhang Ruochen and merged with the Realm-frame of Truth. The aura it emitted was sometimes sacred and majestic, sometimes evil and sinister.

When Zhang Ruochen struck his palm strike, the Phantom of a Divine demon also did the same.

In the Realm-frame of Truth, many Precepts of Truth flew out and merged with the Phantom of Divine Demon. The aura emitted by the Phantom of a Divine Demon rose steadily. When the palm strike hit the Purple Lightning Storm, the explosive power reached ten times.

Rumble

The purple lightning storm was pierced through. The palm strike of the Phantom of Divine Demons collided with Purple Cauldron.

On the other side of Purple Cauldron, Supreme Saint Yanhong also made a hand mark. She activated all the Regal Inscription in Purple Cauldron and unleashed its greatest power.

Unfortunately, she did not have the time to activate the Gate of Destiny. She could only rely on her own strength to resist the explosive power of Incarceration of Divine Demon.

THUMP!

As if a god’s bell had rung, Purple Cauldron shook violently and crashed into Supreme Saint Yanhong’s body. She and the cauldron were thrown far away.

Without the weakening of the Gate of Destiny, no matter how powerful Supreme Saint Yanhong was, she was still far from being able to withstand the ten times the explosive power of the advanced Saint technique of Thousand-Koan level, ‘Incarceration of Divine Demon’.

Supreme Saint Yanhong spat out a large mouthful of blood. Cracks appeared on her flawless body.

Pink light radiated from the cracks. It was as if her body was about to fall apart.

This beautiful skin was almost destroyed.

Even though Supreme Saint Yanhong was sent flying, Zhang Ruochen didn’t relax. He only heard a shout from above. “Zhang Ruochen, taste the power of my ax.”

An Axe with powerful divine power hacked down.

A blood-red rain of light fell from the edge of the ax and locked onto Zhang Ruochen.

The power of the ax compressed the Dimension, making it extremely stable and difficult to break.

Thus, Zhang Ruochen did not use the Power of Dimensions to escape. He reached out and grabbed Violet Gourd. He flipped his body and his left leg started burning. Ten million Crimson-red Divine Precepts appeared from it.

He stepped forward and turned into a flaming cloud that clashed with the ax.

After unsealing the third seal of Yanshen’s Leg, Zhang Ruochen had completely refined the Ten million Divine Precepts.. The power he could unleash was far greater than before.
