Chapter 2672: Kill! Kill! Kill!
Although four Supreme Realm Great Saints had fallen from the Blood Sea Hidden Heaven Divine Temple, the remaining six powerhouses still had combat strength. Together with Liuliu Great Saint, they jointly activated the Que Tian Treasure Tree, its body soaring to ten thousand zhang in height, with Supreme Power flowing like rivers among its branches and leaves.
The Que Tian Treasure Tree transformed into a cloud of light, flying into Guna Fairy’s Dao Domain, churning up layers of air waves.
“Well met.”
Zhang Ruochen used the Wuji Sacred Intent to continuously draw the world’s sacred energy over, channeling it into the Golden Vajra Moon Wheel.
The Moon Wheel grew as large as a palace, colliding heavily with the Que Tian Treasure Tree.
“Boom.”
Liuliu Great Saint’s entire body shook violently, retreating step after step.
The six Supreme Realm Great Saints of the Blood Sea Hidden Heaven Divine Temple, while channeling sacred energy, spat blood from their mouths. The collision of Supreme Sacred Artifacts sent shockwaves crashing into them, causing their freshly healed wounds to split open again, turning them into six blood-soaked figures.
At another position.
Under the direction of the Order Palace’s Grand Palace Master, “Saxi,” the *Order Diagram* flew out tens of thousands of sacred techniques.
These sacred techniques condensed into angel-like forms, resembling an angelic sacred army, charging toward Zhang Ruochen.
“Fight! This Emperor will never yield.”
Zhang Ruochen roared loudly, and while controlling the Golden Vajra Moon Wheel, he charged straight at the angelic sacred army, using his fists as weapons, punching again and again.
“Boom! Boom! Boom…”
With each punch, he shattered a cluster of angelic sacred techniques.
Zhang Ruochen’s physical body had been condensed in the Primordial Chaos, making it the strongest below the Divine Realm. His fist power was ferocious, and even Supreme Power could hardly harm him.
“This guy really is an undying bird. His physical body is too terrifying—he can even resist Supreme Sacred Artifacts. The power of the *Order Diagram* can’t suppress him at all.” Saxi’s eyes were filled with shock.
How could a Supreme Sacred Artifact fail to kill an enemy?
Guna Fairy’s expression turned grave. “His physical strength is too great. My Dao Domain can’t suppress him.”
“The power of the *Order Diagram* is ultimately too dispersed. On the battlefield, it can unleash unparalleled destructive force, but it’s not suitable for dealing with top-tier figures like Shu Qianchi.”
The speaker was Krafilin of the Elf Clan.
Before her floated a seven-zhang-long blue giant bow. Six Supreme Realm Great Saints of the Elf Clan jointly released sacred energy to activate it, reviving the Supreme Inscription Runes within the bow’s body.
The Supreme Inscription Runes coiled like golden flood dragons.
Earlier, the giant bow had flown into Guna Fairy’s Dao Domain but was knocked back by Zhang Ruochen’s Golden Vajra Moon Wheel.
This Supreme Sacred Artifact-level bow was a legendary war weapon of the Elf Clan, having once shot dead a deity.
Krafilin pulled the bowstring, and dense sacred dao rules condensed into a ten-zhang-long light arrow. The surrounding space, influenced by the Supreme Sacred Artifact bow, began to contract.
Blue secret patterns flowed on the arrow, locking onto Zhang Ruochen’s aura.
“Twang.”
The sound of the bowstring shattered the ground beneath Krafilin’s feet.
Zhang Ruochen sensed the danger and, disregarding everything else, directly mobilized the power of Space Essence, crossing space and teleporting away.
“Rip.”
Still, he couldn’t fully evade. The light arrow grazed the edge of Zhang Ruochen’s waist, tearing through his physical defenses and leaving a long bloody gash. Even with Zhang Ruochen’s current physical strength, he couldn’t block it.
“He escaped even like this? This Shu Qianchi’s space mastery is too high!”
“Perhaps he even controls Space Essence.”
Just as the Elf Clan powerhouses were in shock, spatial fluctuations appeared above them.
“Not good—Shu Qianchi has escaped Guna Fairy’s Dao Domain.”
Krafilin reacted first, throwing out a three-inch-long jade talisman.
From the talisman, a large number of defensive runes flew out, forming a blue light umbrella that protected all the Elf Clan Great Saints within.
Zhang Ruochen stepped out of the void, his foot stomping so hard that space trembled. Holding the Golden Vajra Moon Wheel, he struck heavily against the blue light umbrella.
The surface of the light umbrella rippled like water patterns.
It held for a moment…
“Boom,” the umbrella shattered.
The Golden Vajra Moon Wheel pressed down, smashing through the Dao Domains of three Elf Clan Supreme Realm Great Saints.
Heavier than a planet, the Golden Vajra Moon Wheel drove their Supreme Dharma Bodies deep into the ground, mixing their flesh and blood with the soil.
Additionally, several other Supreme Realm Great Saints were sent flying by the shockwaves of Supreme Power.
“Kill! Even if you’re a peerless beauty, you die today.”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were cold and ruthless. Lifting the Golden Vajra Moon Wheel, he charged at Krafilin.
He held a deep grudge against Krafilin. Back on Ice King Star, if not for Zangjin Baihu’s protection, Zhang Ruochen might have died from her ambush.
“Bang, bang.”
Krafilin, in haste, could only swing the Supreme Sacred Artifact long bow to meet the murderous Zhang Ruochen.
The two Supreme Sacred Artifacts clashed like colliding stars, unleashing wild Supreme Power in all directions, making it hard even for Supreme Realm Great Saints to approach.
On the eighth clash, Zhang Ruochen shattered Krafilin’s Dao Domain and broke through her defenses.
“Boom.”
The Golden Vajra Moon Wheel, like a golden hill, struck her head, shattering her delicate, beautiful face. Her slender, graceful body then turned into a cloud of blood mist.
The blood mist was ignited by the Undying Divine Fire on Zhang Ruochen’s body, turning into a sea of flames.
Thus fell a demigod listed on the *Red Dust Peerless Record*.
At the moment of death, she had burned her Great Saint blood, but it still couldn’t stop Zhang Ruochen’s assault.
The Elf Clan Supreme Realm Great Saints were stunned for a moment before letting out sharp, piercing cries. Filled with rage, they madly attacked Zhang Ruochen.
But Zhang Ruochen’s battle intent was boiling, his killing aura overwhelming. Without even picking up the fallen Supreme Sacred Artifact long bow, he struck out with both palms, meeting the two Elf Clan Supreme Realm Great Saints charging straight at him.
Both Elf Clan Supreme Realm Great Saints unleashed Supreme-level high-rank sacred techniques.
One had seven star imprints appearing in his palm, with trillions of sacred dao rules coiling around his arm.
The other had white light patterns emerging on his arm, striking so hard that space caved in.
Both went all out, burning their sacred blood to unleash power far beyond their usual limits.
“Boom.”
Zhang Ruochen’s dual palms collided with their two Supreme-level high-rank sacred techniques, shaking the heavenly and earthly rules into chaos and annihilating countless divine patterns and dao locks.
The two Elf Clan Supreme Realm Great Saints had all their bones shattered into powder. They were sent flying backward, collapsing limply to the ground, unable to rise again.
Zhang Ruochen, though wearing a Confucian robe, had his long hair flying, his aura surging. His gaze swept the surroundings arrogantly as he roared, “A bunch of ants dare to challenge this Emperor? You deserved to die. Who else?”
By the time Guna Fairy arrived, Zhang Ruochen had already killed three more Elf Clan Supreme Realm Great Saints. His hands were covered in blood, his Confucian robe turned into a blood-red robe, and his tiger-like eyes glared at her.
Even Guna Fairy, with her profound mental state, was momentarily intimidated by Zhang Ruochen’s gaze.
It was too shocking—several Supreme Realm Great Saints had died in an instant, including one from the *Red Dust Peerless Record*.
Whether it was the cultivators of the Heavenly Realm Faction or those watching from the sea outside the island, all were stunned, their bodies numb. They couldn’t believe such a massacre was happening in the Heavenly Court, on Red Dust Archipelago.
Supreme Realm Great Saints were all titans, yet they fell one after another, their lives as fragile as grass.
The powerful life force of Supreme Realm Great Saints seemed utterly fragile before Shu Qianchi.
This Shu Qianchi was not only terrifyingly strong but also audacious beyond measure.
“He’s probably really that undying bird from the Kunlun Realm, backed by Tai Shang, so he fears nothing.”
“This battle tonight can’t be clearly blamed on anyone. It all comes down to strength. Shu Qianchi couldn’t just let the Heavenly Realm Faction butcher him. Now that it’s come to this, if the Heavenly Realm Faction doesn’t kill Shu Qianchi, they’ll never let it go.”
“Shu Qianchi is strong, but he was already injured in the earlier clash. Today probably won’t end well for him. Alas, one man against many can never defeat ten thousand.”
…
Everyone marveled at Shu Qianchi’s powerful cultivation and combat strength, but they didn’t think he would have a good outcome.
Because the Heavenly Realm Faction also had experts of his level, and more than one.
Guna Fairy could no longer remain calm and graceful. She withdrew her twenty-six trillion sacred dao rules and Dao Domain back into her body, raising her jade sword above her head.
“Whoosh.”
From her slender, graceful immortal body surged strands of divine qi, merging with the jade sword.
In that instant, Zhang Ruochen felt as if space had solidified and time had stopped. His entire body was frozen.
He was locked down by her powerful sword intent!
The sword technique Guna Fairy used was no longer within the realm of sacred arts—it had reached the level of divine abilities.
Once a Saint-realm cultivator mastered a divine ability to a high degree, their combat power would take a huge leap, far surpassing others of the same realm.
“Xuan’e Light-Splitting Sword!”
Guna Fairy mobilized the Truth Rules within her body, merging them into the divine ability. Instantly, the sword technique’s power multiplied several times, slashing straight down at Zhang Ruochen.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen was forced to employ the Way of Truth.
He drew a war sword, not daring to release the “Boundless Universe” realm form, but he infused it with Truth Rules, Sword Dao Essence, and a third-rank Sword Dao Sacred Intent.
After merging with the third-rank Sword Dao Sacred Intent, Zhang Ruochen seemed to transform into a Sword God. He swung his sword horizontally, tearing space apart with the sword light, colliding with Guna Fairy’s Xuan’e Light-Splitting Sword.
“Boom.”
Zhang Ruochen’s sword was unstoppable, cutting Guna Fairy’s jade sword in two.
Even with her twenty-six trillion sacred dao rules, she couldn’t block it. The sword light tore through her defenses, striking her at the waist.
Just as Zhang Ruochen thought he could cut her in two with one strike…
The halo above Guna Fairy’s head flew out, spinning like a shield, blocking in front of her.
“Bang.”
The powerful force of the sword light sent her flying backward for over ten li before she landed, each step leaving a large crater in the ground.
On the lantern tower.
A World Hand of the Heavenly Realm Faction spoke sternly, “The Judgment Divine Envoy has already cultivated a divine soul and is on the verge of achieving true godhood. Guna Fairy will enter the Divine Realm within a thousand years. Neither of them can have any accidents. I think it’s time to activate the sub-god-level grand formation.”
“Better to use a divine talisman,” said a Rune Path Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Realm Faction.
Another cultivator suggested, “We could use the divine fire of a Grand Void True God to kill him. I possess a wisp of it.”
…
Each of them had extraordinary means, eager to kill Shu Qianchi and make a name for themselves at the Red Dust Assembly.
The dark shadow said, “Guna has finally tested Shu Qianchi’s true strength. Next, I’ll make my move. Shu Qianchi is very fast and skilled in the Way of Space. Ordinary encirclement tactics can hardly threaten him. Your methods, while powerful, have clear weaknesses. Only by my hand can we ensure success.”
“With you making a move, I can rest easy. If we let Shu Qianchi continue his rampage, the Heavenly Realm will surely suffer heavy losses.” Michael had great confidence in the dark shadow, after all, he had even assassinated a false god.
Whether it was the formation World Hand or the Rune Path Heavenly Master… these powerful cultivators clearly feared the dark shadow and quickly backed down.
Secondly, the dark shadow was right. This Shu Qianchi mastered too many secret arts and was unfathomable. Sub-god-level grand formations and divine talismans indeed had the power to kill him, but if he found a flaw, he might turn the tables.
Shu Qianchi had defeated the Judgment Divine Envoy by using a secret art to sever the connection between the Judgment Divine Envoy and his Star Soul Divine Throne. His true combat power was still far from that of a false god. The dark shadow’s intervention would indeed be foolproof.
“There are many ways to kill Shu Qianchi. As long as the Radiant Palace or the Celestial Camp makes a move, he’s dead for sure. But his strength is decent enough to deserve dying by my hand.”
A wisp of breeze passed, and the dark shadow vanished from the lantern tower.
Only the lantern at the spot where he had stood still swayed gently.
The moment the dark shadow left the lantern tower, Zhang Ruochen’s hanging heart finally settled. He thought to himself, “Finally lured you out.”
Zhang Ruochen had told Linglong Fairy and the others earlier that the only chance of survival tonight lay in first dealing with Peach Blossom.
If Peach Blossom never made a move and remained hidden in the shadows, they would have no chance of survival.
Peach Blossom was undoubtedly powerful, and even Zhang Ruochen wasn’t sure he could survive against him. But this was the only path to survival—he had to fight with all his might.
Everything Zhang Ruochen had done earlier was to lure Peach Blossom into action.
“First kill the Judgment Divine Envoy, then I’ll take you down.”
Zhang Ruochen abandoned Guna Fairy and charged toward the Judgment Divine Envoy’s position. In a hurried glance, he saw the Supreme Sacred Artifact long bow being taken by an Elf Clan Supreme Realm Great Saint, feeling deep regret.
