BOOM!
Saint Lord Zuo Mu’s head exploded. The purple blood mist in his head gushed out like a waterfall. Dozens of broken bones of Supreme Saints were mixed in and smashed into the ground.
Such a sudden change shocked the 17 Supreme Saints present.
A powerful Thousand-Koan Realm Supreme Saint was killed just like that?
The attackers were not Yan Huangtu and Lan Ying, who had taken the Infernal Court by surprise. Instead, it was Zhang Ruochen, who had recently joined the Infernal Court, and Lord Xia Yu, who had previously gone
unnamed.
“Saint Lord Zuo Mu, the strongest among the five Thousand-Koan Realm Celestial Captives, was killed by them. The Battle of Celestial-Hunting of the Bloodysky Clan this year is going to be heaven-defying!”
The Ghost Supreme Saints looked at each other with mixed feelings.
They were relieved that Saint Lord Zuo Mu had been assassinated, but Zhang Ruochen remained a source of concern for them. Now that Zhang Ruochen had recovered and was coming with great momentum, it was
still unknown whether he would let them go.
Fang Mofeng, the captain of the Fane of Meteorite, shouted, “You two be careful. Zuo Mu’s first form is an aqueous devil. He’s almost immortal. He won’t be killed so easily.”
Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power had been locked onto Saint Lord Zuo Mu’s corpse without Fang Mofeng’s reminder.
Zhang Ruochen discovered that Saint Lord Zuo Mu’s Qi of Life, which had been rapidly depleting, was recovering quickly. It was even more vigorous than before.
The shattered head of a corpse on the ground emitted a brilliant purple light.
The flesh and bones melted like ice and turned into purple water.
Splash
The purple water gushed out of the Armor of Meteorite and turned into sword-shaped spikes. They quickly flowed toward Zhang Ruochen and Lord Xia Yu.
It was more like a stab than a flow.
The speed of the flow was faster than lightning.
SWOOSH!
Zhang Ruochen used the Power of Time to activate the divine force in his left leg. He moved quickly and grabbed Lord Xia Yu’s wrist, dragging her away.
“I didn’t come to find you, but you came to me. Today, none of you can escape.”
An angry spiritual thought sounded.
The sword-shaped spike condensed by purple water was like 15 sharp purple lights. It chased after Zhang Ruochen and Lord Xia Yu, piercing their hearts. Even with the weakening of the Power of Time, the purple
water was still incredibly fast.
“HMPH!”
Lord Xia Yu rotated her five fingers and extended her right hand. In her snow-white palm, the Pleiades Lotus appeared.
Under the urging of her dense blood-red aura, the Pleiades Lotus’ Supreme Inscription was activated. Tens of thousands of ghostly mist spread out, and countless spectral flames floated in the air, flickering.
An explosion sounded. The Supreme Power that the Pleiades Lotus unleashed shattered the purple sword-shaped spikes, turning them into dense drops of aqueous that splattered out.
The drops of aqueous dripped onto the ground like purple rain.
Splash
The aqueous purple drops quickly shrank and condensed into a ball again, turning into a seven-meter-tall aqueous giant. It was sparkling and translucent, and it had two arms that looked like the legs of a mantis. The
purple light between its eyebrows was especially bright, it was like a purple sun.
Under its feet, the purple mist churned, accompanied by loud thunder.
‘Is he a living creature or a dead spirit? Or is he both a living creature and a dead spirit, just like the Nether Clan and the Deathkin?’ Lord Xia Yu thought as she was shocked.
Saint Lord Zuo Mu’s information didn’t mention anything about his other forms.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t panic because of Saint Lord Zuo Mu’s change. Instead, Zhang Ruochen looked interested and he said, “He has strong spatial fluctuations. He’s definitely not from an ordinary clan.”
Saint Lord Zuo Mu’s gaze moved back and forth between the Pleiades Lotus in Lord Xia Yu’s hand and the Violet Gourd on Zhang Ruochen’s waist, he laughed loudly, “You may have ruined my plans, but compared to
the two Supreme Artifacts, it’s just a small matter.
“The Supreme Artifacts are here, but you have to be able to get them.”
Zhang Ruochen stomped his feet, and layers of flames gushed out from under his feet. There were white Divine Purification Flames and Yanshen’s Mark of scarlet flames.
nan instant, the white and red flames covered dozens of miles of heaven and earth, turning it into a blazing inferno.
o matter what clan Saint Lord Zuo Mu belongs to, he was still in aqueous form.
Both water and fire were able to destroy each other.
erhaps Zhang Ruochen could use the flames to refine Saint Lord Zuo Mu.
“Zhang Ruochen, although you destroyed my second form, you still have a long way to go before you can compete with me with your current cultivation.”
Saint Lord Zuo Mu let out a long cry. Large amounts of purple water gushed out of his aqueous body.
The purple water was like a flash flood. It set off waves that were hundreds of feet high. It broke the inferno and spread hundreds of miles away.
Swoosh
Swoosh
Zhang Ruochen and Lord Xia Yu did not dare to touch the purple water. They spread out their ten wings and flew into the air. Looking down, they saw that the ground below was completely covered by the purple
water. It turned into a purple ocean.
“It’s Saint Lord Zuo Mu’s Precept and It’s in a Path form,” Lord Xia Yu said.
The number of Precepts cultivated by the Thousand-Koan Realm Supreme Saint was more than ten billion. He could use his own Precepts to develop his own Path.
The Path form was a manifestation of the Path.
The powerful Thousand-Koan Realm Supreme Saint could use the Precepts he cultivated to evolve a world. If the world was perfect enough, it could become one with heaven and earth and burst out with unparalleled
combat strength.
Saint Lord Zuo Mu’s body merged with the purple ocean and disappeared without a trace.
With a laugh, dense purple sword rain rushed out of the ocean below and shot toward Zhang Ruochen and Lord Xia Yu who were floating in the air.
The dark and lifeless planet was illuminated purple at this moment.
Zhang Ruochen and Lord Xia Yu looked at each other and poured Saint Qi into the Pleiades Lotus at the same time.
The Ghost lotus quickly became huge. The seven-petal lotus turned into seven ghost clouds and condensed into thousands of Ghost shadows. They clashed with the purple sword rain like ghost soldiers from the sky.
Rumble
Powerful destructive energy filled the world.
“Be careful. Saint Lord Zuo Mu has activated 14 Regal Artifacts. He’s launching a second wave of even more powerful attacks.”
Just as he warned, Zhang Ruochen sensed a weak spatial fluctuation. He became alert and glanced behind him. Wisps of purple killing qi spread out from the space and condensed into Saint Lord Zuo Mu’s figure.
‘This is… Saint Lord Zuo Mu’s Murderous Shadow!’ Zhang Ruochen thought to himself.
The Murderous Shadow reached out its mantis-like arm silently and slashed at the back of Zhang Ruochen’s neck with a sharp purple light.
Zhang Ruochen yanked the Ghost-headed Whip from his waist, activating the bone-chilling ghost qi. He whipped it behind him.
Bang Bang
The Ghost-headed Whip and the Murderous Shadow collided fiercely. The Ghost Qi and the murderous intent formed ripples.
“Break it.”
Behind Zhang Ruochen appeared the Saint Aspect of the Immovable Wisdom King. It towered hundreds of miles above the ground. The majestic sky above his head emitted a dazzling golden light through its nine
layers.
Because it was suppressed by the power of the Dark Star, the Saint Aspect of the Immovable Wisdom King could reach more than 1,000 miles tall. Its power would be even more shocking.
The Saint Aspect of the Immovable Wisdom King slapped down with his palm, causing the Murderous Shadow to fall rapidly to the ground.
Zhang Ruochen was about to chase after it and completely destroy the Murderous Shadow to severely break Saint Lord Zuo Mu’s murderous will. Not far away, Lord Xia Yu let out a miserable cry. She was sent flying by
14 Regal Artifacts. She could only rely on the Pleiades Lotus to hold on.
Against a powerhouse like Saint Lord Zuo Mu, even if Lord Xia Yu had the Supreme Artifact, it would still be difficult for him to face him head-on.
Of course, the more important reason was that Saint Lord Zuo Mu had taken more than 10 Regal Artifacts. He was not fighting with the Supreme Artifact with his bare hands.
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze fell on the 17 Supreme Saints who were trapped on the cliff by the centipede-shaped chains. Then, he whipped out the Ghost-headed Whip and tied on the centipede-shaped chains. Then, he
suddenly pulled.
Whoosh
The centipede-shaped chains were dragged away by Zhang Ruochen like a real centipede.
“If you want to take back your weapons, show me what you can do,” Zhang Ruochen said loudly. Then, he turned into a streak of golden light and chased after Lord Xia Yu.
The 17 Supreme Saints escaped, but their cultivation didn’t recover. They were still sealed by Saint Lord Zuo Mu’s Asuran Battle Qi.
“Burn the Saint Blood and break the seal. Help Zhang Ruochen and Lord Xia Yu kill Saint Lord Zuo Mu.” Mo Cuo, Fang Mofeng, and Yan Hanyu, the three Supreme Saints of the Fane of Meteorite, were decisive.
They performed a secret technique and burned the Saint Blood in their bodies to refine Saint Lord Zuo Mu’s Asuran Battle Qi.
Even though burning the Saint Blood would have terrible side effects and even greatly reduce their lifespan, they had no other choice but to fight to the death.
If Saint Lord Zuo Mu defeated Zhang Ruochen and Lord Xia Yu, he would still deal with them.
This was an irreconcilable feud. There was no way they could escape.
The 14 Ghost Supreme Saints wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but they couldn’t bear to part with their weapons. So they used a forbidden technique. The spectral flames ignited from them. Their Astral Form
lit up like lanterns and refined the seals in them.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Lord Xia Yu’s Pleiades Lotus collided with Saint Lord Zuo Mu’s 14 Regal Artifacts more than 100 times in the blink of an eye.
When Zhang Ruochen caught up, Lord Xia Yu’s mouth was full of blood. She was severely injured. She held up the Pleiades Lotus’s arms and became a bloody mess.
Zhang Ruochen slapped the Violet Gourd. He was about to activate the power of the gourd and take away all the Regal Artifacts.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Saint Lord Zuo Mu clearly knew the power of the Violet Gourd. The 14 Regal Artifacts broke into pieces and flew in 14 different directions, surrounding Zhang Ruochen and Lord Xia Yu in the center.
Once the power of the gourd was activated, the 14 Regal Artifacts could fly hundreds of miles away in an instant.
“Zhang Ruochen, it’s useless. Your gourd uses the Power of Dimension collapse. However, the third Dark Star’s space is very stable. Even if the Dimensional Array appears, it won’t collapse. It can’t take away my
weapons.”
Saint Lord Zuo Mu’s voice came from all directions.
Every word came from a different direction.
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze was as sharp as a knife. “If that’s the case, what are you afraid of?”
Saint Lord Zuo Mu’s Murderous Shadow appeared on the purple sea below. He laughed loudly. “I’m not afraid. I just feel that we don’t have to be enemies.
“You’ve killed so many cultivators from the Infernal Court, including many Scions and Scionesses. Do you really think you have a chance to integrate into the Infernal Court and become one of them? Don’t dream about
it. The gods of the Infernal Court will always guard against you.
“Back then, Huangtian had the full support of the Stone Ancestor and had been fighting with the Celestial Court for many years. There were hundreds of millions of corpses and great military achievements, but they
still couldn’t enter the core level of the Infernal Court. In the end, they killed their master and finally got recognition.
“Zhang Ruochen, I can see that your idea is not compatible with the Infernal Court. You will never be together with them. You will only be an enemy, not one of them.
“The enemy of an enemy is a friend. Why don’t you cooperate with me?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “How?”
“You killed Xia Yu and offered her Pleiades Lotus to me. I can help you win first place in the Battle of Celestial-Hunting. Isn’t it a good thing that we win together?” said Saint Lord Zuo Mo.
Then Saint Lord Zuo Mu added, “You don’t have to worry about the gods knowing what happened on the Dark Star. Even the gods can’t sense it.”
Lord Xia Yu knew that Zhang Ruochen would never cooperate with Saint Lord Zuo Mu, but he still couldn’t help but feel nervous.
As for the 17 Supreme Saints of the Infernal Court who were trying to break the seal, their expressions changed. They all stared at Zhang Ruochen, afraid that he would really cooperate with Saint Lord Zuo Mu.
If that happened, they would definitely die.
Saint Lord Zuo Mu saw that Zhang Ruochen seemed to be hesitating, “You’ve seen my combat strength just now. With your and Lord Xia Yu’s cultivation, even if you have a Supreme Artifact, you’ll definitely lose. It’s not
wise to be my enemy.”
o one had expected Saint Lord Zuo Mu to have another form.
n his current form, his combat strength was even stronger than that of the advanced stage of the Thousand-Koan Realm. He even had the power to fight against a Supreme Saint at the pinnacle of the Thousand-Koan
ealm. This was far beyond Zhang Ruochen’s initial estimation.
tt should be noted that the Yanluo Clan, led by Yan Huangtu and Yan Wushen, had gathered more than a dozen Supreme Saints at the Hundred-Shackle Realm’s Great Perfection stage. Together with the Supreme
Artifact, they were able to suppress and refine the Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill at the pinnacle of the Thousand-Koan Realm.
n other words, if they did not create a perfect opportunity to kill Saint Lord Zuo Mu, Zhang Ruochen would probably have to mobilize the same number of powerful people to do so.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes met with Saint Lord Zuo Mu’s, he sighed and said, “Your threats and antecedents have indeed scared me and moved me. But how can I bear to kill such a peerless beauty like Lord Xia Yu of our
Bloodysky Clan?
“Besides, I’ve already given her the Pleiades Lotus. I’m too embarrassed to take it back. Unfortunately, I’m too soft-hearted toward women. For her sake, I can only continue fighting today.”
Even though she knew that Zhang Ruochen was lying and trying to anger Saint Lord Zuo Mu, Lord Xia Yu couldn’t help but smile from the bottom of her heart.
Saint Lord Zuo Mu’s Murderous Shadow snorted and said sinisterly, “Another fool who fell stupidly for women. If that’s the case, you can die too!”
Saint Lord Zuo Mu was about to activate the 14 Regal Artifacts to continue attacking, but he felt something was wrong. The vessel spirits of the 14 Regal Artifacts were not under his control and could not do as he
pleased.
“The reason I talked so much with you just now was to stall you and let them break the seal.” Zhang Ruochen said coldly as he stared at the 17 Supreme Saints of the Infernal Court.
The seals in the 17 Supreme Saints had all been broken. 17 waves of powerful saints might burst out from them. Asura Battle Qi and Ghost Qi turned into light pillars and Qi bridges. They were connected to the 17 Regal
Artifacts that had once belonged to them, they were connected..
