Chapter 2389: Attack of Insanity

“Forget it. The most important thing right now is to find a way to escape,” said Zhang Ruochen.

 

Zhang Ruochen hadn’t found the Pale Blood Soil, and he restrained himself from fusing the Earth Saintwill.

 

He had been trapped in the sarcophagus for god knows how many days. He also wondered if the Battle of Celestial-Hunting concluded?

 

Probably not.

 

If the Battle of Celestial-Hunting had ended, the gods of the Immortal Vampires and the Yanluo clan would have come to the planet’s core to save him and Yan Zhexian.

 

Yan Zhexian’s belly was either this big after the Madre Bloody Shadow infused it with divine power and Qi, or she had been pregnant for months. Overall, Zhang Ruochen was concerned when he saw her belly.

 

When Zhang Ruochen entered the planet’s core, the Immortal Vampires indeed had the absolute advantage. It was almost impossible for them to lose.

 

However, the Yanluo clan would never give up the first place to the Immortal Vampires. They would definitely fight back fiercely and use all means at their disposal. The Battle of Celestial-Hunting would become more and more intense in the later stages.

 

Zhang Ruochen had to return to the battlefield this instant.

 

He began to try all kinds of methods to open the sarcophagus.

 

Yan Zhexian gradually recovered from her breakdown in the corner.

 

When she woke up just now, her mind was a mess, and then she found that she was pregnant. Later, she and Zhang Ruochen both wanted to kill the baby in her belly. She had been in an unprecedented extreme mood swing.

 

After she calmed down, she immediately understood many things.

 

First of all, she had been deceived by Zhang Ruochen.

 

Zhang Ruochen had never thought of killing the baby in Yan Zhexian’s belly. If he wanted to kill the child, he would have done it when she was unconscious.

 

Yan Zhexian thought, ‘Damn it!

 

‘Damn Zhang Ruochen!

 

‘He probably wants to use this method to continue pretending to be cold-blooded and heartless. Also, he’s testing me to see if I won’t kill the baby in my belly again.’

 

Yan Zhexian closed her eyes. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

 

She was angry that she thought she was smart, but she was fooled by Zhang Ruochen. Especially since she had been too weak just now. She had begged Zhang Ruochen and even cried.

 

It was too humiliating!

 

It was even more humiliating than when she had been captured by Zhang Ruochen on the home planet of the Yanluo clan and taken advantage of.

 

Next, she understood another thing. She and Zhang Ruochen didn’t have intercourse.

 

Because she sensed Zhang Ruochen’s blood in her body.

 

She was different from Zhang Ruochen. She was born with the Five-element AzureTerra Neverwither Physique. The divine power and spiritual Qi of the Madre Bloody Shadow did not change her physique too much.

 

Her physique had reached its pinnacle and could not continue to change.

 

Therefore, Yan Zhexian knew that she had Zhang Ruochen’s blood in her body, but Zhang Ruochen did not know that he had her blood in his body.

 

Earlier, they were not kissing each other but sucking each other’s blood.

 

However, now that she was pregnant, who would believe that she and Zhang Ruochen were innocent?

 

Moreover…

 

Yan Zhexian looked at the robe that belonged to Zhang Ruochen. There was nothing under the robe. Suddenly, she let out a long sigh. Were she and Zhang Ruochen really innocent?

 

No one in the whole Infernal Court would believe it.

 

The divine power and Qi of the Madre Bloody Shadow, which had been cultivated for many years, gave birth to the baby in my womb. But it absorbed my blood and Zhang Ruochen’s. It has something to do with Zhang Ruochen. Destiny, why should I be entangled with Zhang Ruochen?’ Thinking of that, Yan Zhexian let out a long sigh again.

 

Yan Zhexian looked at Zhang Ruochen in the distance and recalled her brief encounter with Zhang Ruochen.

 

In terms of talent and intelligence, Zhang Ruochen was definitely the best among the cultivators of his generation.

 

In terms of appearance, Zhang Ruochen was a first-class handsome man.

 

In terms of family background, the Xue Jue family was ancient and powerful, and Wargod Bloodximius was revered and worshiped by all cultivators of the Infernal Court.

 

Zhang Ruochen seemed to have no choice. He was a fatal attraction to every woman. But why did Yan Zhexian not like Zhang Ruochen?

 

After thinking for a long time, Yan Zhexian had an answer.

 

The most fundamental reason was not that Zhang Ruochen had taken advantage of her. After all, Zhang Ruochen only wanted to leave the home planet of the Yanluo clan alive. He didn’t mean to humiliate her and take advantage of her.

 

The most fundamental reason was that she hated Zhang Ruochen from the start.

 

Zhang Ruochen was a cultivator from the Celestial Court, but he betrayed the Celestial Court and joined the Infernal Court. He could even kill his close friend, Supreme Saint Manjian.

 

Many cultivators also said that Zhang Ruochen was a spy sent by the Celestial Court to the Infernal Court.

 

Yan Zhexian didn’t like either of these two types of people.

 

The man she liked was not only talented but also an indomitable hero. He was a strong man who valued loyalty and righteousness. He would not easily change his beliefs and stand, and he should not be a sinister and despicable person.

 

In the last Yuanhui period, Wargod Bloodximius and Huang Tian were the two most outstanding talents.

 

However, Yan Zhexian only worshiped Wargod Bloodximius and despised Huang Tian.

 

If Zhang Ruochen were still with the Celestial Court, Yan Zhexian would be filled with endless expectations and admiration for him even if they were enemies. It was even possible for her to fall in love with him.

 

She was such a willful and romantic woman who yearned for her husband to be perfect.

 

From the beginning, she had been prejudiced and disgusted with Zhang Ruochen.

 

Yan Zhexian thought, ‘This baby belongs to me alone. Zhang Ruochen can forget about having anything to do with my baby. After the Battle of Celestial-Hunting, I will return to the Yanluo clan and give birth to her. I will never marry any man in my life.

 

‘Now, I have to stall Zhang Ruochen. I can not let him return to the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting. Without Zhang Ruochen, the Immortal Vampires will never be a match for the Yanluo clan.’

 

Yan Zhexian stood up and walked to Zhang Ruochen. She asked, “You still can’t open the sarcophagus?”

 

“Yup!” said Zhang Ruochen.

 

Zhang Ruochen had tried all kinds of methods, but the lid of the sarcophagus did not move at all.

 

There were no divine patterns or mechanisms inside the sarcophagus.

 

They were completely trapped here!

 

Yan Zhexian was delighted. She said calmly, “Let’s not go out. When the Battle of Celestial-Hunting is over, the gods will come to save us. Why don’t we just talk for now?”

 

“What was there to talk about?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

 

Yan Zhexian said, “Our relationship has become closer now, yet we don’t know much about each other. Should we keep distancing ourselves forever? Or we could try to get to know each other better.”

 

“Is that necessary?” asked Zhang Ruochen.

 

Zhang Ruochen knew very well that Yan Zhexian wanted to hold him back and didn’t want him to go out.

 

“I’ve heard a lot about you,” Yan Zhexian said. “You’ve succeeded in crossing the tenth region of the Sea of Truth. You have two children with Kunlun’s Goddess Chi Yao. You are a highly regarded emissary of the Moon goddess. You have fought with Yan Wushen three times. You have fought against the Saint Realm Warriors of the entire Infernal Court alone etc… You are one of the most legendary cultivators of this Yuanhui period.

 

“But why did you join the Infernal Court? Don’t you have a deep hatred for the Infernal Court? Don’t you hate the Immortal Vampires the most?

 

“Did you ever think that the cultivators who used to worship you and admire you would be disappointed? Did you ever think that the gods who once groomed you would be heartbroken? Although you were ostracized and suppressed by many cultivators in the Celestial Court, you still have many friends who support you and share your hardships with you. Many gods protect you.”

 

Zhang Ruochen said, “Are you sure you want to have a good talk with me?”

 

“I just want to know, have you really betrayed your beliefs, betrayed your friends, or become a spy of the Celestial Court?” Yan Zhexian asked.

 

Zhang Ruochen said, “Are these the only two possibilities in your eyes?”

 

Yan Zhexian frowned and said, “Could there be a third possibility?”

 

“There are many things that you don’t understand. With your noble status, you can do whatever you want. You can choose your future, choose what you like, and dispose of what you dislike. However, there are countless lives in every world. They don’t have a choice.”

 

With that, Zhang Ruochen continued to figure out how to open the sarcophagus.

 

…

 

At the beginning of the battle, the spiritual-power Supreme Saints sent by the Immortal Vampires to gather intelligence on the other nine clans had all returned.

 

Now, 324 cultivators were participating in the battle on the Immortal Vampires’ home planet. 172 of them were Nine-Step Saint King. Even though they had consumed the Altofruits and earned a large number of heavenly and earthly treasures at the festival, their realms still hadn’t broken through.

 

Of the remaining 152 Supreme Saints, nearly 100 of them were Talisman Masters and Array Masters.

 

Lord Xia Yu, who was in charge of the clan’s home planet, had been under a lot of pressure recently.

 

The Immortal Vampires’ points were constantly being deducted. She knew that the Yanluo clan must have found those Supreme Saints who had their clansmen with them. All the clansmen had been slain.

 

Zhang Ruochen had guessed correctly. Yan Huangtu had already formed an alliance with Pink Skull.

 

Only the three Scionesses of Destiny could accurately predict where the Supreme Saints of the Immortal Vampires were hiding.

 

“The Yanluo clan will definitely attack our home planet. Why hasn’t Zhang Ruochen returned from underground? Please be safe.”

 

Lord Xia Yu was worried. She wanted to go underground immediately, but she didn’t have the strength to fight against the Bloody Shadowseeds. She had to restrain herself.

 

Lady Wind had not returned and was believed to have been doomed. The Immortal Vampires’ home planet was completely dependent on Lord Xia Yu.

 

Lord Xia Yu had sent cultivators to the seventh Dark Star. She wanted Lord Bladehell to lead the Immortal Vampires’ legion of Supreme Saints back to their home planet. However, she had already sent three Supreme Saints out and none returned.

 

It was the last day of the Battle of Celestial-Hunting, and the unease in Lord Xia Yu’s heart grew stronger and stronger.

 

A Saint King descended from the sky and walked in quickly, he bowed and said, “Reporting to Lord Xia Yu, six High-Saint Array Masters and one High-Saint Talisman Master from the Yanluo clan, as well as more than a hundred Supreme Saint Array Masters and Talisman Masters, have appeared in the sky above our home planet.”

 

“They have come! The Yanluo clan actually has six High-Saint masters, how terrifying,” said Lord Xia Yu.

 

Lord Xia Yu was a little flustered, but she had to control her emotions and expression. She had to remain calm. ‘So what if there were six High-Saint masters? They couldn’t break the formation I had set up in a day,’ She thought.

 

Another Nine-Step Saint King barged in and reported in panic, “The 52 Supreme Saint Array Masters of the Bone Clan have appeared not far from our planet. There are also three Supreme Saints at the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm escorting them.”

 

Lord Xia Yu asked, “Has Yan Huangtu and Pink Skull appeared yet?”

 

The Nine-Step Saint King shook his head.

 

“This is bad. Hundreds of Bone Clan Supreme Saints have appeared above our home planet,” Another cultivator came in to report.

 

Rumble

 

An earth-shaking explosion erupted in the sky, and the entire planet shook.

 

In the starry sky, many small and large-scale asteroids were gathered densely as they flew towards the blood-red home planet of the Immortal Vampires. They were blocked by the light barrier of the array and exploded with a dazzling light like fireworks.

 

The entire home planet seemed to have been ignited.

 

Meteors streaked across the sky, and the sound of collisions was endless.

 

The cultivators on the home planet saw that the sky had been hit and created dense ripples. The sound was deafening. Even with their cultivation, they felt like the end of the world had arrived.

 

How could cultivators like them stop the Yanluo clan and the Bone Clan once the Star-Shield Grand Formation was broken?

 

“Why hasn’t cousin Ruochen returned yet? Without him, how can we fight against the strong enemies?” said Xue Ningxiao as she bit her lip. She wanted to go underground immediately.

 

The other Immortal Vampires were also worried. They asked, “Why hasn’t Lord Bladehell brought the Immortal Vampires back to defend?”

 

“It’s the last day. Even without Zhang Ruochen and the Immortal Vampires’ legion of Supreme Saints, we have to defend with our lives.”

 

“Yan Huangtu and Pink Skull haven’t shown themselves yet. Once they deployed the Supreme Artifact, our Star-Shield Grand Formation might not last a day.”

 

…

 

Xuemo swaggered into the governor’s mansion.

 

While all the Immortal Vampires were panicking and anxious, he was calm and relaxed. Not like Lord Xia Yu who was pretending to be calm. He was truly fearless.

 

Lord Xia Yu was ready to leave the governor’s mansion to take charge of the attack array and launch a counterattack.

 

Xuemo stopped her and said, “Xueqi hasn’t returned.”

 

That was a very strange phrase that came out from Xuemo’s mouth!

 

Lord Xia Yu was very anxious and did not have time to listen to Xuemo’s nonsense. She was about to walk past him.

 

Xuemo stopped her again and said, “Xueqi is one of the leaders of the intelligence group. He has the coordinates of the dimensional teleportation array on our planet. Don’t you think it’s a big problem that he didn’t return?”

 

Lord Xia Yu’s heart tightened. She realized that something was wrong, but she quickly shook her head and said, “Impossible. Xueqi couldn’t have betrayed the Immortal Vampires.”

 

“Of course, he couldn’t have betrayed the Immortal Vampires, but someone could have taken away part of his memories. If I’m not wrong, Xueqi was either killed or kicked out of the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting,” said Xuemo.

 

Lord Xia Yu shouted, “Xue Ningxiao, destroy the dimensional teleportation array immediately!”

 

Xue Ningxiao was stunned outside the hall.

 

Xue Ningxiao thought, ‘Destroy the teleportation array?

 

‘How would Lord Bladehell and the Immortal Vampires’ legion of Supreme Saints return?’

 

Xuemo smiled, “Ningxiao, don’t listen to Lord Xia Yu. Destroying the dimensional teleportation array is the worst plan. Once Yan Huangtu fails, they will attack the array on our home planet. How long can your array block them? There are seven High-Saint Array Masters and two Supreme Artifacts outside the planet.”

 

Lord Xia Yu said, “What do you suggest we should do?”

 

“The first step is to put this dimensional teleportation array on top.”

 

Xuemo pointed to the sky.

 

Lord Xia Yu thought of something and said, “You mean to put the teleportation array into the attack array of the Planet?”

 

“Haha, no wonder Zhang Ruochen values you so much. It seems that he’s not stupid just because of your body. That’s right. Put the teleportation array into the attack array. Activate it when Yan Huangtu and the others are about to arrive. Beat them up first,” Xuemo said.

 

Lord Xia Yu said, “But then the teleportation array will be destroyed!”

 

“It doesn’t matter. There’s another teleportation array on our planet. Zhang Ruochen asked me to keep an eye on it. No other cultivator knows its dimensional coordinates except us. Of course, the Saint Devourer at Lord Bladehell’s side knows it too.”

 

Then, Xuemo said, “If the first plan can’t severely injure the Yanluo clan and the Bone Clan, then the second plan can only be activated.”

 

“What’s the second plan?” asked Lord Xia Yu.

 

Xuemo pointed to the ground and said, “The strongest defense and most terrifying attacks of the Immortal Vampires’ home planet are never in the sky, but underground.”
