God Emperor

The Qi of Death and spectral flame floated and roared in the ghastly sea of corpses.

Zhang Ruochen's body felt as if he had fallen into an ice abyss. It was so cold that his bones were about to freeze.

His eyes were intertwined with the Precepts of Truth. He scanned the saint corpses in all shapes and sizes. He wanted to pierce through the corpses, even time and space, to find the source of danger.

However, the killing intent disappeared in a flash.

It disappeared without a trace.

Luo Sha, who was emitting a charming fragrance, approached Zhang Ruochen and asked cautiously, "What's wrong?"

"He's gone! Hurry up and collect the saint corpses. We have to leave immediately," said Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen's expression was still as solemn as ever.

Zhang Ruochen was certain that the sense of impending danger he was experiencing was not a figment of his imagination. There must be a top powerhouse hiding among the corpses, attempting to ambush and kill him.

Unfortunately, the other party did not expect that he had the Heart of Truth and amazing perception.

After being detected by Zhang Ruochen, he immediately ran away.

Luo Sha was both shocked and confused.

She had never seen Zhang Ruochen so nervous. She thought, 'Was there really a powerful figure hiding nearby just now?'

She couldn't sense anything with her level 65 spiritual power. She didn't notice any changes even after she unleashed the Profound Spatial Dimension.

How powerful was the other party to be able to be so silent?

Luo Sha had always believed that with her spiritual power achievements and that hidden trump card, she could be fearless on the Celestial-Hunting Battlefield.

At that moment, she realized that there was always someone better than her. If she did not raise her cultivation to the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm, she was still far from it.

Whoosh

Under Luo Sha's command, the Dark Divinity Lotus bloomed with divine light right away.

The entire sea of corpses was sucked into the black lotus.

An extremely alluring redness appeared on Luo Sha's snow-white face. It was obvious that she had used all her strength to do it.

This space became dark, empty, and silent again.

"Let's go!" said Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen and Luo Sha hid in the dark space and flew away quickly.

Splash

A Nether River meandered over. The water was sometimes dark and sometimes bright.

Pan Ruo's beautiful figure stood on the Nether River. She was like a flawless spiritual flower, blooming with a beautiful scent. The pitch-black world instantly became bright because of her arrival.

She looked in the direction where Zhang Ruochen and Luo Sha had left. Her long, thin eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The Legion of Death had been taken away. The three upper clans' plan to conquer the seventh Dark Star without bloodshed had been ruined again.

There were still wisps of Qi of Death floating in the air.

Suddenly, Pan Ruo sensed something. Her pretty face, which was as calm as the surface of a lake, suddenly turned cold. She asked, "Who is it?"

A tall and thin black shadow appeared silently in the front of the Nether River.

Strangely, his body could swallow the light from the Nether River, so Pan Ruo couldn't see his figure and face clearly.

However, Pan Ruo still figured out his identity at once. She said, "Que!"

"Your Highness Pan Ruo is more shrewd than I thought. You recognized me just by showing a slight flaw. In time, when I cultivated to the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm, I will definitely amaze the world." Que said with a firm and resolute tone.

Pan Ruo said, "Are you here on purpose?"

"Actually, I'm here to find Lord Hornless and Zhang Ruochen. Lord Hornless is my biggest challenge since I came to the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting. Zhang Ruochen is the target I have to kill no matter what," Que said.

Pan Ruo had a thought and said, "Then why didn't you attack just now?"

"I was going to attack just now, but Zhang Ruochen is more powerful than I thought. He immediately noticed my slight killing intent and never gave me any chance to sneak attack again," Que said.

Pan Ruo was even more taken aback. Que's cultivation was so profound that despite being the number one powerhouse on the list of the Hundred-Shackle Realm's Great Perfection stage, he could still conceal his identity and sneak attack and kill his opponent.

In that way, who else could he not kill?

Pan Ruo said, "With your cultivation, why do you need to sneak attack? Even if it's a head-on fight, Zhang Ruochen is definitely not your opponent."

"Zhang Ruochen is not as simple as you think. I can defeat him in a head-on confrontation, but it's difficult to kill him. Once he knows that I've come to the seventh Dark Star, it will be much more difficult to kill him," Que said.

Pan Ruo said, "So, you're giving up this opportunity for a better next opportunity?"

"Yes," said Que.

"I need Your Highness' help to create the next opportunity," he continued.

"Why should I help you?" Pan Ruo asked.

"Zhang Ruochen's cultivation has improved too quickly. It has reached an unprecedented level. Now, his strength has entered the top ranks. Only a few people are qualified to kill him on the entire Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting. And I'm the most qualified one," said Que.

Que's tone was calm with a hint of supreme aura. He continued, "If Your Highness wants to become the Scioness, your biggest threat is not Pink Skull, but Lady Wind. So, you have to kill Zhang Ruochen.

"Once Zhang Ruochen dies, the Immortal Vampires will be exterminated, and Lady Wind will be thrown into the abyss.

"We can't let Zhang Ruochen continue cultivating. Otherwise, if he is successful, no one will be able to stop him."

It was obvious that Zhang Ruochen posed a significant threat to him after receiving such a high evaluation from the number one powerhouse on the list of the Hundred-Shackle Realm's Great Perfection stage. He wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Pan Ruo's emotions surged, but she remained calm. "That's right. Zhang Ruochen is our common enemy. The three upper clans have suffered heavy losses because of him. Tell me, how can I help you create an opportunity?"

Whoosh

The tall and thin black shadow on the other side swallowed all the darkness around him and formed a man in black armor.

He looked ordinary and sallow.

It was hard for anyone to link him to Que.

It was unknown whether his current appearance was his true form.

Que stepped into the Nether River and stood beside Pan Ruo's magnificent figure, he said in a low voice, "From now on, I will be a Supreme Saint-level guardian by your side. When the war breaks out, I will look for the best opportunity to surprise Zhang Ruochen and Lord Hornless and give them a fatal blow."

Pan Ruo looked at the man in front of her carefully and said, "I can't see any flaws in your qi-restraining technique, Mr. Que. However, it may not be able to fool a superior of Zhang Ruochen's level."

"As long as Your Highness' Door of Trueself can block the detection from Zhang Ruochen's Path of Truth, he won't be able to find any clues," Que said.

Pan Ruo's expression was as usual, but she sighed in her heart. Que was too dangerous. He clearly had the absolute advantage, but he was still unscrupulous.

If Que plotted to kill someone, that person would probably die.

"With Mr. Que's support, my position as Scioness is already within reach."

Pan Ruo said with a smile. Her smile was beautiful, sacred, and mysterious. It had an alluring bearing that could topple all living things.

However, Que's will was astonishing. Standing so close to her, he was not affected by her beauty and temperament. It was as if no external force could shake him.

Only this kind of strong willpower could condense a Grade Two Saintwill.

Even if the Saintwill was incomplete.

BANG!

A streak of lightning tore through the darkness and approached from afar.

The lightning flew in front of Pan Ruo and condensed into Wujiang's handsome and extraordinary figure.

His entire body emitted a dark ray. The violent and heavy power on his body surged in all directions like a tidal wave, exploding with a terrifying aura capable of killing gods and demons.

This was the result of achieving a great breakthrough in cultivation, but not being able to perfectly control the new power.

Both Pan Ruo and Que looked at Wujiang.

The number of precepts in Wujiang had increased greatly. It had broken through ten billion precepts. The fatal injury from the battle with Zhang Ruochen had also healed.

Wujiang took a deep breath. His eyes shone with fervent and malicious light. He said, "It's Zhang Ruochen's presence. He came here just now."

"He was here. He destroyed The Altar of Death and took the Celestial Captives' saint corpses," Pan Ruo said.

"Since I'm here," Wujiang said, "He'll have to pay a heavy price for everything he's done. He will pay for the humiliation last time."

Que, who was standing on the side, glanced at Wujiang indifferently.

Wujiang sensed him and immediately stared at him.

Pan Ruo knew that Wujiang's spiritual power had reached level 66. On the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting, almost no one could compare to it. She was worried that he would discover Que's true identity.

"Who are you?" Wujiang's tone was filled with hostility.

Because Wujiang had never seen Pan Ruo alone with another man, and so close to him.

Wujiang wondered, 'How could this person enter Pan Ruo's Nether River?'

The Nether River was Pan Ruo's defense. If one was not absolutely trusted, they would not be able to enter.

Que was silent.

Pan Ruo said, "He is a hidden powerhouse that I invited. He can play an important role in attacking the seventh Dark Star this time."

"Almost all of the powerhouses on the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting are on the list of those who achieved the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm. What other hidden powerhouses can there be?"

Wujiang stared at Que. There was disdain and provocation in his eyes. He said, "Since I'm here, I can destroy the seventh Dark Star in an instant. Why do I need the help of an outsider?"

Pan Ruo wondered if she should tell Wujiang about Que's identity.

Que shook his head to signal at Pan Ruo. He transmitted his voice to her and said, "Only by deceiving Wujiang can we deceive Zhang Ruochen and Lord Hornless."

Pan Ruo said, "Is the Ten Thousand Hands Supreme Saint confident of conquering the seventh Dark Star?"

"I have already obtained half of the opportunity of the Nether Clan's home planet. Not only have my injuries healed, but my cultivation has also improved. I came to the seventh Dark Star to devour Lord Hornless so that I can break through to the Thousand-Koan Realm and take the other half of the chance," Wujiang said.

It was not that they could not break through to the Thousand-Koan Realm on the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting.

There were three reasons why those Supreme Saints at the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm did not breakthrough.

First, they had to suppress their realms and fuse with a stronger Saintwill. They had to accumulate more precepts so that they could cultivate to their best state.

Only in this manner could they gain access to the Thousand-Koan Realm and reap greater benefits.

Second, not every Supreme Saint at the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm could break through to the Thousand-Koan Realm. The threshold of the cultivation realm was enough to stop many cultivators who wanted to breakthrough.

Third, and most importantly, every Supreme Saint at the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm had to enter seclusion to break through to the Thousand-Koan Realm. If the time was shorter, it would generally take two to three years. It could even take a hundred years if the time was longer.

The Battle of Celestial-Hunting only last for a hundred days, it would not be enough for one to enter seclusion to breakthrough.

Wujiang knew that he absolutely couldn't fuse a Grade Two Saintwill, and he didn't want to waste any more time, so he planned to break through immediately. Then, he would sweep across the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting to maximize the benefits.

He'd already spent a long time in the Hundred-Shackle Realm's Great Perfection stage, and he was only one step away from the Thousand-Koan Realm.

If he could use the Path of Darkness to devour Lord Hornless, it was entirely possible to break through the realm in an instant and save years of seclusion.

"You took half of the opportunities?" asked Que.

Que finally carefully observed Wujiang.

Wujiang revealed an unhappy expression and said, "Is there a place for you to speak here?"

SWOOSH!

Wujiang's right hand clenched his claws and turned into a ray of black light. He rushed in front of Que like lightning.

As Wujiang attacked, numerous claw shadows appeared and sealed off all of Que's paths of retreat. At the same time, the claw prints released a dark power that sucked everything out of the surrounding space.

However, Wujiang's claw missed Que.

Que's figure stood on the other side of the Nether River and said, "Your cultivation has indeed improved a lot. However, it's still impossible to devour a Banshi Isshou Realm Supreme Saint. Be careful that you don't choke yourself to death."

A look of disbelief appeared in Wujiang's eyes as he looked at Que in a daze.

After coming out from the Nether Clan's home planet, Wujiang had great confidence in himself. Even if he did not break through to the Thousand-Koan Realm, he would still be invincible in the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting. At least, the likes of Luo Shengtian and Yan Huangtu would definitely not be his match.

But now, a nameless person could actually dodge Wujiang's claws.

Although Wujiang didn't use his full strength, he just wanted to test his opponent's strength.

"Again," said Wujiang.

Wujiang, undeterred, gathered his strength and prepared to launch another attack.

"Stop!" Pan Ruo shouted.

Pan Ruo stopped between them, she advised, "Zhang Ruochen and Luo Sha appearing here at the same time means that the Immortal Vampires and the Rakshasa have formed an alliance. The army of the two races has probably come to the seventh Dark Star to snatch points. So, the most important thing now is to destroy the Celestial Captives first."

Wujiang's eyes were still fixed on Que. He restrained his power and said, "I only used 50% of my speed just now. You might not be my match if I used all of my strength."

"Let's go to the Dark Star first," said Wujiang.

Wujiang took off on his own. He gathered with the Nether Clan's Supreme Saints a moment later. They were only a few tens of thousands of feet from the Dark Star.

Wujiang was energized at the time, and Nether Qi was gushing from his body.

The auras of the cultivators of the three upper clans were activated when Wujiang arrived.

"The Ten Thousand Hands Supreme Saint is here!"

"The Ten Thousand Hands Supreme Saint's might is so terrifying. I wonder how much his cultivation has improved."

"Finally, there's someone who can stop Lord Hornless."

...

Wujiang took out the Supreme Artifact, Myriad Curse Bead. He held it in his palm and shouted, "All the Supreme Saints of the Nether Clan, listen up. Together with me, we will activate the beads and unleash the Blood-devouring Curse. We will curse and kill all the living beings on the Dark Star."

...
