Chapter 2391: The Pale Blood Soil

“Those severely injured Bone Clan Supreme Saints, retreat from the battlefield at once.”

 

“Those who can still fight, quickly disperse or gather beside me and Supreme Saint Yanhong. Do not clash head-on with the offensive power of the formation.”

 

Yan Huangtu immediately sent out two telepathic messages.

 

He was also injured.

 

The Immortal Vampires’ Array Masters, led by Lord Xia Yu, created this attack array. They put in a lot of time and effort to set it up. They also had a Supreme Artifact as the array’s core. Its power was, of course, terrifying.

 

“I will withdraw from the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting.”

 

“I… I want to withdraw from the battlefield.”

 

…

 

Voices were heard one after the other. The Mystic Eye of Myriad Realms then teleported the cultivators away.

 

At that critical moment, they did not feel ashamed. Their priority was to stay alive.

 

There were a total of 47 Bone Clan Supreme Saints in the attack array, including Yan Huangtu, Pink Skull, and Sang Ki. All of them were the top-notch powerhouses in the Hundred-Shackle Realm.

 

The array was still operating as streaks of dragon-shaped lightning flew out. However, it was very difficult for them to pose a threat to the lives of the Bone Clan Supreme Saints in the array.

 

Their cultivation was strong and their speed was fast. They could avoid dragon-shaped lightning and even fight against a bolt of single dragon-shaped lightning.

 

They had only forced the two Bone Clan Supreme Saints to retreat from the battlefield after three consecutive breaths.

 

There were 45 left.

 

Yan Huangtu’s face was ice cold. “Where is Zhang Ruochen?” he demanded of Lord Xia Yu. “Why hasn’t he shown up?”

 

Even though Lord Xia Yu’s array was powerful, the person Yan Huangtu feared the most was still Zhang Ruochen.

 

As Lord Xia Yu controlled the array, she said, “Zhang Ruochen is in the array. Can’t you see him?”

 

The Bone Clan Supreme Saints were shocked. They looked around.

 

Yan Huangtu snorted. “Zhang Ruochen isn’t even on the planet.”

 

After the first wave of attack, all the cultivators were thrown into chaos. They were all injured. If Zhang Ruochen was on the home planet, that would be his best chance to attack.

 

He could use the Violet Gourd to kill them all.

 

But Zhang Ruochen didn’t attack.

 

There was only one explanation. Zhang Ruochen wasn’t even on the home planet.

 

Lord Xia Yu knew that Yan Huangtu was probably trying to trick her, so she kept her mouth shut and concentrated on mobilizing the power of the array. She condensed hundreds of dragon-shaped lightning bolts and attacked Yan Huangtu.

 

The whole world became dark.

 

The violent power surged everywhere. It could easily tear apart the Supreme Saints’ Neverwither physique.

 

Lord Xia Yu still didn’t know how to pretend.

 

Yan Huangtu’s guess was confirmed when he saw Lord Xia Yu in this manner. He is no longer hesitant. He channeled the Yanluo Qi into the Supreme Artifact, the Scepter of Heaven’s Pass.

 

Besides him, 13 other Bone Clan Supreme Saints in the Hundred-Shackle Realm also poured their power into the artifact.

 

The power of the Supreme Artifact caused the attack array to tremble violently. The huge home planet also shook and many Dimensional Rifts appeared in the air.

 

“Use the Supreme Artifact to kill that b*tch Xia Yu and tear her into pieces.”

 

“Use all of your strength to avenge the fallen Bone Clan Supreme Saints.”

 

“Kill! Kill all the Immortal Vampires.”

 

…

 

All the Bone Clan Supreme Saints were filled with death aura and killing intent.

 

Originally, they were here to beat the Immortal Vampires to the bottom of a pit. However, they had only just arrived and had been severely injured.

 

How disappointed were the Bone Clan gods when they saw this scene?

 

The entire Infernal Court was probably laughing at the Bone Clan.

 

Fight!

 

They would regain their lost face.

 

Pink Skull and the other 17 Bone Clan Hundred-Shackle Realm Supreme Saints activated the Supreme Artifacts and attacked Lord Xia Yu from another direction.

 

They knew very well that the Pleiades Lotus beneath Lord Xia Yu’s feet was the core of the attack array.

 

The attack array would naturally be destroyed if they killed Lord Xia Yu and destroyed the core.

 

…

 

Within the sarcophagus.

 

“What a strong Power of Earth.”

 

Zhang Ruochen pressed his palm on the wall of the sarcophagus. Instantly, the Precepts of Earth in him became very active. Then, the precepts of the five elements were all very active.

 

His palm showed signs of petrification.

 

He quickly withdrew his palm. The petrified part of his palm quickly disappeared and returned to normal.

 

At the same time, a powerful and pure Power of Earth fused into his body and spread throughout his body.

 

‘What’s happening? Could it be… ‘ Zhang Ruochen thought.

 

Zhang Ruochen’s heart beat faster. He revealed a happy expression and carefully observed the sarcophagus wall.

 

His spiritual power could not penetrate it and was isolated by a mysterious power.

 

Zhang Ruochen, on the other hand, could see something extraordinary with the Eye of Truth. The sarcophagus had a very dense structure. Even if it was only a stone wall, the Earth’s Power contained within it was greater than that of a planet.

 

“Interesting, very interesting! No wonder the Madre Bloody Shadow said that the Pale Blood Soil was right in front of us,” said Zhang Ruochen and he couldn’t help but laugh.

 

Yan Zhexian noticed the sarcophagus’s unusualness. She asked, “Could this sarcophagus be made from the Pale Blood Soil? It’s amazing. How much Pale Blood Soil was used?”

 

The Pale Blood Soil was the number one Artifact of the Immortal Vampires. It was also known as the immortal soil, the soil of rebirth, and the soil of resurrection.

 

If a sarcophagus was made from the Pale Blood Soil, one could imagine how precious it was.

 

Yan Zhexian said, “Release the seal on me now.”

 

Zhang Ruochen ignored her. He sat down cross-legged and prepared to refine and absorb the Pale Blood Soil.

 

Since he couldn’t open the sarcophagus, he could only “devour” it.

 

Perhaps he could take this opportunity to fuse the Earth Saintwill.

 

‘The precepts of the five elements in my body are 300 million, far more than other Paths. The chances of success should be high,’ Zhang Ruochen thought.

 

He thought for a moment. Just in case, he took out a Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill and held it in his palm. He was ready to swallow it at any time.

 

Yan Zhexian’s cheeks swelled with rage after Zhang Ruochen ignored her. “Can you digest all of these Pale Blood Soil by yourself?” she asked. “Aren’t you afraid of dying as a result of overeating?”

 

Zhang Ruochen stared at her.

 

He couldn’t let anyone disturb him while he was fusing the saintwill. Even if Yan Zhexian’s cultivation was sealed, she could still be a threat. So, Zhang Ruochen put her into the Violet Gourd.

 

“You have all the divine power and Essence Qi of the Madre Bloody Shadow in your body,” Zhang Ruochen said to himself as he patted the gourd. “The advantages are numerous. Don’t even try to compete with me for the Pale Blood Soil.”

 

The baby in Yan Zhexian’s belly was many times more powerful than the energy contained in a divine source.

 

Even though she was the one carrying the baby, it gave her more benefits.

 

Yan Zhexian’s future path to godhood would be easier than countless cultivators.

 

Furthermore, the speed of her cultivation would be ridiculous. Yan Wushen and Yan Huangtu might not be able to catch up.

 

It could be said that Yan Zhexian had taken away the opportunity of the Immortal Vampires’ home planet!

 

Time transcended quickly. The Precepts of Earth in Zhang Ruochen’s body grew more and more. They kept changing into the Precepts of Water, Precepts of Fire, Precepts of Metal, and Precepts of Wood.

 

In such a short time, the precepts of the five elements increased from 300 million to 400 million, and then to 500 million.

 

When they grew to 800 million, the total number of precepts of the five elements in Zhang Ruochen’s body had transcended the sum of all the other precepts. It had reached a critical point.

 

His body was no longer in the state of flesh and blood. It was colorful, like a colorful human-shaped Godstone.

 

The five precepts were gathered into five different colored rivers. They made their way through his body. They broke the shackle wherever they went, like a river breaking a bank.

 

CRACK!

 

CRACK!

 

…

 

The shackles broke one by one.

 

Zhang Ruochen’s Five-element Chaotic Neverwither Physique expanded again. He shouted, “Saintwill merge with the five elements.”

 

The Earth Saintwill was released and rushed toward the Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill. The two forcefully collided.

 

Boom Boom

 

The Saintwill collide again and again.

 

However, the repulsion was too strong. The Earth Saintwill kept bouncing back. There were no signs of fusion.

 

Zhang Ruochen didn’t take the Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill immediately. He wanted to try it first. After all, this was the sixth type of Saintwill, not the seventh.

 

If he could succeed without taking the Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill, his chances of cultivating the Grade One Saintwill would increase greatly.

 

…

 

…

 

Lord Xia Yu and the Immortal Vampires’ Array Master managed to hold on for 15 minutes and forced the two Bone Clan Supreme Saints of the Hundred-Shackle Realm out of the battlefield.

 

However, the attack array was also damaged by the two Supreme Artifacts. It was on the verge of collapse.

 

At the northwest border of the Demonsky Continent, more than a hundred Immortal Vampires looked at the sky filled with thunder and fire. They could clearly feel the destructive power colliding with each other.

 

Most of the cultivators were Nine-Step Saint Kings. Their bodies trembled and their legs swayed uncontrollably.

 

“The collision of three Supreme Artifacts can be considered a high-level battle in a battle between Supreme Saints.”

 

“The array is about to be broken. Who can stop Yan Huangtu and Supreme Saint Yanhong?”

 

“A Hundred-Shackle Realm Supreme Saint with my cultivation level can kill me with the snap of his finger.”

 

Xue Ningxiao looked at the shocking battle in the sky and controlled the fear in her heart. She followed the instructions of Xuemo and formed two thousand-meter-long blood-red hands, tearing apart the plains beneath her feet.

 

Rumble

 

A hundreds-of-meters-wide crack appeared.

 

Below the crack was a dimensional teleportation array.

 

“Now you have a total of 140 million clansmen on you,” Xue Ningxiao said. “Divide them equally amongst yourselves.”

 

140 million clansmen were released from the sleeves of the 14 Immortal Vampires Supreme Saint. They were standing in the middle of the plains. There was an ocean of people with no end in sight.

 

“Each cultivator will take a million people. I will teleport you away,” said Xue Ningxiao.

 

One of the Supreme Saints said, “I am not leaving. I want to continue guarding my home planet.”

 

Xue Ningxiao said, “The reason why Yan Huangtu and Supreme Saint Yanhong came to our home planet is not to occupy this planet, but to kill all the Immortal Vampires. Protecting our people is the most important thing right now.”

 

“I’ll go first.”

 

A Nine-Step Saint King did not say anything else. He used his blood-red aura to envelop a million of his clansmen and stood in the teleportation array.

 

SWOOSH!

 

The array was activated and sent him to a certain part of the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting.

 

Following that, the teleportation array lit up continuously.

 

The 63 Nine-Step Saint Kings of Immortal Vampires were dispatched not long after. They traveled to 63 different locations in the starry sky, bringing 63 million clansmen with them.

 

A deafening roar, ten times louder than before, erupted from the sky.

 

The Supreme Power turned into a shockwave that could be seen by the naked eye. It descended from the sky and covered the entire planet. It surged toward the ground of their home planet.

 

Pfft

 

In an instant, a Nine-Step Saint King spat out blood and half-knelt on the ground.

 

Even Xue Ningxiao, who had reached the Supreme Saint Realm, had her eardrums ruptured and two blood lines flowed out.

 

Fortunately, the 14 Supreme Saints had kept the remaining seventy-seven million members of their clan.

 

“The attack array has been compromised. There isn’t enough time to keep teleporting. Everyone, go underground.” said Xue Ningxiao.

 

Xue Ningxiao turned into a streak of light and flew into the air. She descended from the sky and stomped on the teleportation array, intending to destroy it.

 

After waiting for so long, Lord Bladehell and the Immortal Vampires’ legion of Supreme Saints did not return. There was no point in continuing to keep this teleportation array. At the very least, they could not leave it for Yan Huangtu and Supreme Saint Yanhong.

 

“You are not allowed to destroy the array.”

 

Supreme Saint Yanhong ‘s voice came from the sky.

 

Supreme Saint Yanhong’s voice contained powerful spiritual energy. It was just a simple sentence, but it made Xue Ningxiao’s thoughts blurry. She flew in the air and could not continue to stomp down.

 

Supreme Saint Yanhong’s voice was like a command, and Xue Ningxiao couldn’t resist.

 

The skeleton-like Supreme Saint Yanhong broke through the atmosphere and flew towards the teleportation array.

 

Supreme Saint Yanhong could use the Path of Destiny to predict the locations of the 63 Nine-Step Saint Kings who had just left as long as she could protect the teleportation array.

 

Otherwise, the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting was so vast. Even if the Bone Clan and the Yanluo clan had the power to reach the heavens, they would not be able to find all 63 Nine-Step Saint Kings within a day.

 

However, the Immortal Vampires knew that the teleportation array had to be destroyed.

 

“I’ll hold her for a moment. You guys destroy the teleportation array immediately.”

 

Just now, the Supreme Saint who said that he would “continue to guard our own planet” let out a long roar. The Saint Blood in his body burned as he spread out his six blood wings and flew into the sky, crashing directly into Supreme Saint Yanhong.

 

“You bunch of trash want to destroy the teleportation array? Dream on.” said Supreme Saint Yanhong.

 

Supreme Saint Yanhong released all of her spiritual energy and covered the area within a thousand miles. She suppressed all the Immortal Vampires cultivators.

 

At the same time, she struck the head of the Immortal Vampires Supreme Saint who was burning his Saint Blood.

 

Boom

 

His head exploded and his body was split into two.

 

The difference in cultivation level was too great. He could not stop Supreme Saint Yanhong for even a second.

 

Supreme Saint Yanhong was overcome with indescribable joy. Previously, the Immortal Vampires had severely injured the Bone Clan, and they had already formed a feud. She was finally going to be able to teach the Immortal Vampires a lesson.

 

She did not need to kill them. All she needed to do was to beat them into a sorry state.

 

After all, as an intruder, killing an Immortal Vampire cultivator would cost her 500,000 points.

 

Suddenly, Supreme Saint Yanhong sensed a dangerous presence and looked up.

 

The body of the Immortal Vampire Supreme Saint, which she had split in half, remerged. Her body turned crimson red and emitted a blood-red light that was boundless. She unleashed a wave of ever-increasing destructive power.

 

Not good, that’s a self-detonated Sainthood Source! Is this Immortal Vampire Supreme Saint crazy? It’s just a competition for rankings, not a life-and-death battle.’

 

Supreme Saint Yanhong cursed in her heart. She immediately mobilized all of her strength and injected it into the Supreme Artifact ring to boost her defense.

 

Although her opponent was only a Neverwilt Realm Supreme Saint, such a close self-detonation would pose a huge threat to Supreme Saint Yanhong.

 

Using this opportunity, Xue Ningxiao’s body became illusory and escaped Supreme Saint Yanhong’s spiritual pressure. She stomped on the teleportation array, shattering it into fragments.

 

Following that, Xue Ningxiao turned illusory once more as if she had blended into the air and charged into the ground.

 

Boom

 

The powerful destructive force of the self-detonated Sainthood Source crashed into Supreme Saint Yanhong ‘s body. Her bone body fell straight down. On the plains, a huge pit with a diameter of a few hundred meters was created.

 

Dust rolled and surged.

 

Supreme Saint Yanhong crawled up from the bottom of the pit. She was not injured at all. Her body released a monstrous Qi of Death that covered the entire planet, she shouted, “Listen up, Bone Clan Supreme Saints. Go after the Immortal Vampire’s cultivators that escaped underground. Don’t kill them. Just destroy their Neverwither Physique or snatch their Sainthood Source. Destroying their cultivation is the true torture for them.”
