“This again? If you only have this bit of power, it means that you, as a Master of Time, have failed quite a bit.”

Que didn’t even look back. He ignored the light spots of Marks of Time coming from behind.

Whoosh

As soon as the dense light spots of Marks of Time approached him, they immediately dimmed and then disappeared. Like the lights being extinguished, they did not cause any damage to him.

Only the “Self-Defined Mark of Time” condensed by Zhang Ruochen using his Precepts of Time silently touched his body.

The Marks of Time existed everywhere in the world, including in Que’s body.

When a special Marks of Time fell on the body, it was almost imperceptible.

The other cultivators were unaware of the “Self-Defined Mark of Time”. Seeing that Zhang Ruochen’s Mark of Time was dissolved without any counter-measures, they all gasped.

What level was he?

Was he really only in the Hundred-Shackle Realm?

Was the Power of Time so weak?

To deal with Zhang Ruochen, many cultivators in the Infernal Court were thinking of ways to suppress the Power of Time. They had indeed thought of some ways, but it required a lot of manpower and material resources, and they needed to make careful arrangements.

It was beyond their understanding that Que easily dissolved the Power of Time.

Only a few cultivators thought of the Path of Oblivion at the first moment, and their faces became more serious.

Lord Xia Yu’s eyes showed a deep sense of powerlessness, she sighed and said, “He’s the person you’re talking about, right? It seemed that everyone was wrong, including the gods. Que of first place on the list of the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm was a person, a living person. He was too powerful. It was impossible to defeat him. Is there anyone in the Thousand-Koan Realm who can be his match?”

In her opinion, Que was no longer invincible in the same realm. He was invincible even if he crossed a realm.

Even if Zhang Ruochen, a genius of the Yuanhui level, cultivated to the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm, he might not be his match.

Zhang Ruochen said, “He may not be as powerful as you think. What you see is just the tip of an iceberg.”

Lord Xia Yu looked sideways, she said, “Just now, the three of us kept unleashing the most powerful combined attacks. Even Lan Ying and Yan Wushen might not be able to withstand it. However, he easily dispelled it. This means he’s a lot stronger than us, and he’s also a lot stronger than Lan Ying and Yan Wushen. All the cultivators attending the festival are on a completely different level from him.”

Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “You think that the combined attacks of the three of us can fight against Lan Ying and Yan Wushen. That’s because you know their strength and their height.

“However, you know nothing about Que.

“There is no information and records of Que’s battle achievements. It is precisely because of this that you feel that he is as unfathomable as the abyss and as tall as a mountain, unable to see the top. You feel that he is already undefeatable. Even before the official fight, your heart has already been crushed. In terms of the state of mind, you have already lost.

“You stood at the apex of the Abyss, looking down. There was a white fog 33 meters below. There was no way to see all the way to the bottom. Fear was pounding in your chest. However, if you saw that the abyss was only 33 meters deep when the weather was clear, you’d have a good idea of how deep it was. That fear would be significantly reduced.”

Lord Xia Yu couldn’t understand why Zhang Ruochen was so optimistic, she said, “You think that Que’s strength is not much stronger than Lan Ying and Yan Huangtu? However, the three of us, you, and the Supreme Saint Yi Xuan have worked together and made arrangements in advance. They were all easily defeated by him. Moreover, the Power of Time that you used just now was also silently neutralized by him. His various methods have reached an unimaginable level.”

Zhang Ruochen said, “The fog that hides the abyss makes it difficult for people to see its depth. However, the abyss is very clear about its depth. That’s why Que chose to run away when he was being chased by the eight powerhouses, instead of staying behind to defeat them all and further expand his battle achievements.”

As he said this, Zhang Ruochen pointed in the direction where Que escaped. Lan Ying, Yan Huangtu, and the others were chasing after him.

Lord Xia Yu said, “Even if what you said is correct, Que’s strength is unquestionably superior to Lan Ying and Yan Huangtu. We can’t beat him because he’s an absolute superior. He deserved to be ranked first in the Hundred-Shackle Realm’s Great Perfection stage. His strength will undoubtedly increase with the assistance of Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill.”

Lord Xia Yu continued, “You’re just jealous and afraid. You’re afraid that you won’t be his match even if you cultivate the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm. Your reputation as a Yuanhui level genius will be taken away.”

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed and he smiled indifferently when he heard this. “One of these days, I’ll defeat him myself. I’ll tell you that there isn’t an enemy you can’t defeat. The only thing you can’t beat is yourself. Set aside everything else. Let us travel to the home planet of the Immortal Vampires.”

In the pitch-black void.

The elixir attendant and Fortune Palace’s Black Robe High Priest stood side by side.

When Que appeared, their expressions revealed shock, confusion, and astonishment. They both recovered after a long time.

The elixir attendant sighed and said, “I didn’t expect so many monsters to be born in the Infernal Court in this thousand years. They can be called the golden generation of this Yuanhui period. What’s the origin of the Master of Oblivion?”

Fortune Palace’s Black Robe High Priest, shook his head and smiled bitterly. He said, “I’m not sure! He didn’t appear at the festival, but he appeared at the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting. This is very strange.”

The elixir attendant was surprised. “Isn’t he one of the ten thousand cultivators attending the festival of the ten clans?”

Fortune Palace’s Black Robe High Priest, nodded, said, “In the hundred years since the Celestial-Hunting Festival, there has never been such a special case. Since even I don’t know about his existence, it can only mean that he must have a deity-level figure behind him. His appearance on the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting must also have a special meaning.”

“A cultivator who shouldn’t have appeared on the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting appeared miraculously,” said the elixir attendant. “Furthermore, no deity took action to kill him. In other words, he violates the rules?”

Fortune Palace’s Black Robe High Priest said, “The Battle of Celestial-Hunting represents many meanings. The cultivators of the ten clans are fighting for the distribution of their own interests. The three candidates are fighting for the position of Scioness. Including Zhang Ruochen, Yan Wushen, Lan Ying, and Yan Huangtu… Every cultivator has a reason to participate in the Battle of Celestial-Hunting. I’m very curious now. What was Que’s?”

The elixir attendant said, “Now that Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill has fallen into Que’s hands, this pill battle should come to an end. Aren’t you going to stop them?”

Fortune Palace’s Black Robe High Priest nodded slightly. Just as he was about to attack, he suddenly heard a voice transmission. He immediately showed a respectful expression and listened attentively.

“I understand. So that’s how it is.”

After listening to the voice transmission, Fortune Palace’s Black Robe High Priest gave up, he said to the elixir attendant beside him, “I already understand Que’s appearance on the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting. The deity has issued an order. On the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting, there’s no need to interfere with the matters of Que, Zhang Ruochen, and Yan Wushen. The three of them aren’t within the rules of Celestial-Hunting.”

The Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting was vast and boundless. It was filled with star fog and was six-colored.

The Immortal Vampires’ home planet had a diameter of 30,000 miles.

Standing in the starry sky, there were ten continents and a blood-red ocean on the planet. It was like a huge blood-red eyeball that was flying from east to west.

There were a total of 240 million Immortal Vampires on the Immortal Vampires’ home planet. They had established cities and civilizations.

Lady Wind and Lord Bladehell went after Que and failed. After returning to the home planet, they immediately contacted the leaders of the ten Clans, including Zhang Ruochen.

After some discussion, they named the ten continents of the home planet after the titles of the Ten Clans: Azureky, Yellowsky, Qitian, Demonsky, Bloodysky…

Each clan was responsible for a continent.

For example, there were 30 million Immortal Vampires on the Bloodysky Continent guarded by the Bloodysky Clan. If the Bloodysky Continent was invaded by Celestial Captives and ten clansmen died, one point would be deducted.

This point would be deducted from the Bloodysky Clan.

If the entire clansmen were killed on the Bloodysky Continent, half of the Bloodysky Clan’s total points would be deducted and given to the other nine clans.

Zhang Ruochen led the 98 Supreme Saints of the Bloodysky Clan and the two saint kings who had failed to break through to the Bloodysky Continent. Then, Zhang Ruochen told them the details of the discussion.

In the mansion of the governor of Cloud City, the largest city on the Bloodysky Continent, all the powerful figures of the Bloodysky Clan gathered in the lobby.

Lord Xia Yu’s face was cold, she said, “The ten great clans will be in charge of a continent. This will divide the powers between the clans and increase competition and internal conflicts. If they were attacked by the Celestial Captives, the other nine great Clans might stand idly by. Lord Bladehell and Queen Wind are making a huge mistake.”

Gu Chenzi said, “There’s nothing we can do about it. The ten great clans are in competition with each other.”

Supreme Saint Yi Xuan said indignantly, “What do you mean there’s nothing we can do about it? Why should the Immortal Vampires want Lord Bladehell and Lady Wind to make the decision? There are so many powerful figures in our Bloodysky Clan. Can’t we seize power? I support Zhang Ruochen to be the leader of the entire Immortal Vampires!”

Gu Chenzi said, “It’s useless for you to support him. If we seize power now, it will be an internal conflict. Even if we succeed, the Immortal Vampires will be greatly weakened, and the internal conflict will increase. Isn’t this a joke for the other nine clans?”

…

Just as they were arguing endlessly, Zhang Ruochen finally spoke, he said, “Stop arguing. Everyone listened to my arrangements. Lord Xia Yu, immediately contact the array masters of the ten great clans and set up a Defensive Array, a Cloaking Array, and an Offensive Array in the outer space of our planet. This is something that the leaders of the ten great clans and I have discussed beforehand. There should be no opposition. You are the Immortal Vampires’ most powerful Array Master. You’ll be in charge of this situation.

“Gu Chenzi, search every secret hideout on the continent carefully. Find all the Celestial Captives hiding on the continent and kill them without mercy.

“Supreme Saint Yi Xuan, you will lead all of the Bloodysky Clan’s Supreme Saints in the Hundred-Shackle Realm to the Cosmic Battlefield to kill the Celestial Captives and earn points for our clan. How are your injuries healing?”

Supreme Saint Yi Xuan stood up abruptly. His external injuries had already healed, and he was full of energy. He said, “I am a Supreme Saint of the Immortal Vampires. Sucking more saint blood is more effective than taking healing pills. As long as I don’t meet Celestial Captives of the Thousand-Koan Realm, I promise to kill them all.”

Zhang Ruochen nodded, and he continued to give orders. “Xueqi, you will lead all the spiritual-power Supreme Saints of the Bloodysky Clan to form an intelligence group to investigate the Celestial Captives’ whereabouts. Then, you will send a message to Supreme Saint Yi Xuan and let them finish them off. In addition, we must closely monitor the movements of the other nine clans and find the location of their home planet. Remember, safety first.”

“Those cultivators who have just broken through to the Supreme Saint Realm should stay in the Bloodysky Continent for the time being. After their realms have been consolidated, they will hunt the Celestial Captives.”

…

The orders were given one after another, and everyone began to take action.

Everyone knew very well that Zhang Ruochen had taken a cautious and steady approach. This way, he might get fewer points, but it was safer.

Zhang Ruochen activated the Supreme Inscription in the gourd and activated the Supreme Power. He subdued 3 Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pills, 37 King Grade Saintwill Pills, and 458 top-tier Heaven Grade Saintwill Pills.

Then, he sent the cultivators of the Bloodysky Clan who had just broken through to the Supreme Saint Realm into the Violet Gourd to cultivate.

With the help of the Godstones, the time ratio in the gourd could reach 1:9.

Unfortunately, the Sundial could not be brought into the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting. Otherwise, Zhang Ruochen would have a greater time advantage.

“According to Lady Wind, only Lan Ying and Yan Huangtu are still pursuing Que. With their hindrance, Que should not be able to consume Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill in a short time. I still have a chance. However, before that, I must break through to the Hundred-Shackle Realm.”

Even if Que could get rid of Lan Ying and Yan Huangtu, Zhang Ruochen predicted that he wouldn’t be able to take Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill anytime soon.

First of all, Que must have condensed the Saintwill in the Path he was best at. If he wanted to take Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill, he had to cultivate another Path shortly.

Only by cultivating a single Path to an extremely profound level could it be meaningful to take the Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t think that Que could cultivate a single path to produce a Grade Three Saintwill. The only worry was that Que had already condensed nine types of saintwill. With Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill, he had condensed the tenth type.

A Supreme Saint condensing the tenth type of saintwill meant that he had surpassed the Ancients and was of epoch-making significance.

No one knew if condensing the tenth type of saintwill would obtain some special power and change?

After all, a cultivator who broke the limit would definitely be favored by Heaven.

Secondly, Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill was essentially equivalent to a Supreme Saint. Even if the spiritual will of the Elixir Spirit had been refined, it would still be difficult to refine it with the cultivation of the Hundred-Shackle Realm.

Even if Zhang Ruochen got Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill, he didn’t dare to take it on the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting. If he was disturbed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“I hope the Ampliofruit can help me break the shackles.”

Zhang Ruochen took out an Ampliofruit and held it in his hand. His eyes were blurred, and his heart was filled with anticipation.

Zhang Ruochen had consumed a cauldron of Fugue Pills before entering the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting because he couldn’t bring any pills in. They numbered in the hundreds.

The medicinal effect of the Fugue Pills couldn’t be digested in a short period, so it was all sealed and suppressed by Zhang Ruochen in his blood vessels and heart. Only when the shackle was broken would part of the seal be broken and the efficacy is released.

Besides the Fugue Pills, Zhang Ruochen also swallowed a lot of substandard soul pills, which could improve Spirit, and King Grade pills with healing effects. All of their efficacy was still sealed.

This was a loophole in the rules of the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting!

Any cultivator with a bit of brain would do this.

Of course, not every cultivator had a body as strong as Zhang Ruochen’s, who could withstand the effects of so many pills and the impact of the Elixir Spirit on his body.
