Chapter 3012: Can't Control You All
Luo Sha was truly enraged. Just moments ago, Chi Yao had crossed space, forcibly breaking into the Formation-Suppressing Altar, and slashed a sword in front of her, nearly severing both her arms.
Fortunately, Feng Di and Xi Men Divine Marquis attacked simultaneously, using the power of the formation flags to force her back.
But even so, Luo Sha's divine robe sleeve was shredded by the Blood Drop Sword's sword energy, revealing her snow-white, slender arm.
"Chi Yao, you go too far."
Luo Sha raised her staff with one hand, bit the tip of her other hand's finger, and used divine blood to draw an ancient curse pattern on the staff.
"Whoosh!"
From within the True Self Gate, towering a hundred zhang tall and blazing with brilliance, corpse after divine corpse emerged. Gray death qi instantly filled heaven and earth, with baleful energy surging skyward, charging toward Chi Yao in attack.
On the other side, Luo Ji activated the divine formation of Heavenly Lord Mountain, pointing a finger. Ten thousand bolts of lightning erupted with a soul-shaking momentum, falling like a Nine Heavens Divine River onto the Formation-Suppressing Altar.
Luo Sha grew a pair of crystalline, jade-like bone wings on her back, flames burning in her eyes, her long hair flying wildly. She said coldly, "Suppress the formation!"
The gods of the Rakshasa Clan all took out the sacred blood they had prepared long ago, transforming it into rivers of blood that surged into the Formation-Suppressing Altar.
"Sizzle, sizzle!"
On the Formation-Suppressing Altar, eerie patterns emerged, radiating a blood-red glow.
The divine formation of Heavenly Lord Mountain was originally extremely powerful, capable of suppressing a Great God. However, as the Formation-Suppressing Altar was activated, the formation's inscription patterns dimmed, and its power sharply decreased.
Ji Fanxin glanced at the ground, combining her spiritual power with the power of origin, and spat out a single word: "Rise!"
The earth beneath the Formation-Suppressing Altar shifted, and the ground for dozens of li around rapidly rose upward. The altar shook incessantly, with Formation-Suppressing Stones falling off, and sacred blood turning into waterfalls spraying outward.
"Your opponent is me!"
Bai Qinger stood atop the Earth Demon Sparrow, beneath her a black demon sea. Divine flames filled the sky, condensing into phoenix birds dozens of zhang in size, their light as bright as stars, surging in a sky-covering tide toward Ji Fanxin.
Ji Fanxin raised her arm, and a white, sky-piercing divine tree manifested, colliding with the incoming flame phoenix birds.
"Boom, rumble!"
The divine tree caught fire and, after barely three breaths, turned to ashes.
Bai Qinger was about to press the attack when she saw Chi Yao shake off the divine corpses and appear before her, radiating seven-colored divine light, her sharp eyes clashing with Bai Qinger's.
"You two should stop now!" Chi Yao said.
Bai Qinger studied Chi Yao carefully and said flatly, "Is that an order? If you hadn't said that, I might have stopped. But now that you have, how can I possibly stop?"
"Excellent. I've long wanted to see if your Chaos Primordial Opening is truly flawless and complete." Chi Yao said.
Bai Qinger sensed something and looked up.
She saw twelve layers of heavens, like a divine palace falling from the God Realm, breaking through the fire clouds, already pressing down above her head.
The Earth Demon Sparrow let out a long cry, its power surging, divine force raging.
But still, it couldn't hold out. Its massive stone body kept falling downward.
Just as it was about to crash to the ground, Bai Qinger snorted lightly, unleashing her Divine Realm World, which transformed into a realm where reality and chaos intermingled. Under the suppression of the twelve layers of heavens, she stabilized her form.
Zhang Ruochen had figured it out. Chi Yao wasn't there to mediate at all; she was adding fuel to the fire. The Blood Drop Sword in her hand had probably been itching for action all along.
How could she pass up the chance to openly teach those two demon girls from the Rakshasa Clan and the Goddess Twelve Pavilions a lesson?
Chi Yao was certain that Zhang Ruochen would side with them this time. After all, it was Luo Sha who had started the conflict, and Bai Qinger who had acted as an accomplice.
Luo Ji, the weakest of them, was the aggrieved party. How could Zhang Ruochen not show her sympathy and support?
"Indeed, not a single one of them is easy to deal with."
Zhang Ruochen had already thought of a way to break the deadlock. He summoned a divine sword and turned into a beam of divine light flying toward the Formation-Suppressing Altar.
"Break!"
With a single sword strike, he wrote a bright "one" character above the altar.
One of the formation flags guarding the altar shattered into pieces and tattered cloth, utterly unable to withstand the divine sword's attack.
"Who goes there?"
Xi Men Divine Marquis grabbed his rust-covered firewood knife, channeling trillions of Sword Dao Rule Divine Patterns, and slashed diagonally, twisting space itself.
"Bang!"
The firewood knife clashed with the divine sword.
Xi Men Divine Marquis felt as if the divine power coming from the other side had slammed into him like an entire world, nearly exploding his internal organs. His entire body was sent crashing heavily to the ground.

"Again!"
With a loud roar, Xi Men Divine Marquis's battle intent boiled over, and his body sprang up like a bow. But before he could even see the figure clearly, a powerful palm strike pressed against his back.
Like a duck diving into water, head down and rear up, he fell from the Formation-Suppressing Altar, burying himself deep in the dirt.
Zhang Ruochen stepped onto the Formation-Suppressing Altar, scanning the gods of the Rakshasa Clan, and said coldly, "This has nothing to do with you. If you don't want trouble, disappear from my sight immediately."
Even Feng Di, the highest in cultivation, took the initiative to retreat upon seeing Zhang Ruochen. As for the other Rakshasa Clan gods, they had witnessed Xi Men Divine Marquis being utterly helpless against Zhang Ruochen. How could they dare to oppose him?
Besides, what was Zhang Ruochen's status?
He was the divine envoy of the Rakshasa Clan's number one powerhouse.
He acted on behalf of Heavenly Mother in the mortal world.
They clasped their hands to Zhang Ruochen and immediately left.
Xi Men Divine Marquis crawled out of the ground, fury blazing. Since stepping into the God Realm, he had never suffered such humiliation. He roared, "Fight! Today, I will not... rest... until..."
Seeing Zhang Ruochen's face on the Formation-Suppressing Altar, his voice grew quieter and quieter.
Feng Di stood not far from him and sighed, "Zhang Ruochen's martial arts haven't been crippled. His cultivation is so high that even I can't see through it. If you want to die, go ahead and fight. But only you will die; he won't. Heavenly Mother won't allow it."
Xi Men Divine Marquis put away his firewood knife and, to ease the awkward atmosphere, laughed heartily, "We're on the same side. Fighting would hurt our harmony."
Zhang Ruochen had already taken the staff from Luo Sha's hand and said, "Didn't you leave the Heavenly Beginning Civilization Great World?"
"I left, but I can come back, can't I?" Luo Sha blinked her eyes and smiled.
Zhang Ruochen didn't smile.
Luo Sha knew Zhang Ruochen was truly angry and quickly said, "I was trying to help you and give Luo Ji a better choice. Going to the Rakshasa Clan can preserve the entire Heavenly Beginning Civilization."
"To attract more ancient civilizations to defect, the Rakshasa Clan, and even the entire Hell Realm, will surely offer the Heavenly Beginning Civilization the best treatment."
"Isn't this the best option for them right now? Look, even Sister Qinger agrees with my approach."
Zhang Ruochen dared not let Luo Sha and Bai Qinger join forces. Either one alone could cause chaos.
Zhang Ruochen said, "I know you deliberately dragged Qinger into this so she could share your burden when I got angry. What did you promise her? Forget it, you don't have to say. But do you realize she set you up?"
Luo Sha's eyes narrowed slightly.
Zhang Ruochen continued, "She had already sent a pavilion master from the Goddess Twelve Pavilions to Doushuai City to provide me with all the intelligence. And that pavilion master's master is the wife of Doushuai City's lord, Qing Shen."
"In fact, the Hell Realm's scheme has already completely failed. You couldn't have taken the Heavenly Beginning Civilization's fire seed and civilization treasury today. All of this was Qinger's help to me!"
The expression on Luo Sha's face was incredibly vivid. First suspicion, then anger, and finally, it turned into sudden realization.
Luo Sha had harbored some doubts about Yu Divine King's scheme, which was why she hadn't gone to disrupt the Fire Seed Assembly or participate in destroying the World-Protecting Divine Formation. Instead, she came to Heavenly Lord Mountain.
As long as she seized the fire seed and civilization treasury, regardless of whether Yu Divine King had a conspiracy, she would be in an invincible position. With Zhang Ruochen, she would also be invincible. Surely Zhang Ruochen couldn't ask her to return the fire seed and civilization treasury, could he?
Luo Sha wasn't afraid of Zhang Ruochen obstructing her plan because Zhang Ruochen had just arrived and couldn't possibly be familiar with the situation in the Heavenly Beginning Civilization.
But why had Zhang Ruochen come so quickly?
So it was Bai Qinger who had set her up.
Now, not only had she failed, but she was the only one who looked bad.
Luo Sha's gaze fell on Bai Qinger, eerily calm. "This fight can't stop now!"
She soared into the air, merging with the Gate of Destiny, flying into the gray death qi, and charging into the sky alongside the evil divine corpses, heading straight for Bai Qinger.
Zhang Ruochen's lips curled slightly. "Mo Yin, Yin Escape Nine Formation!"
Mo Yin stepped out from behind Zhang Ruochen, her figure alluring and full of charm.
Zhang Ruochen spread his arms, releasing the Yin Escape Nine Formation, which he had spent years and vast resources to refine. It enveloped Luo Sha, Bai Qinger, Chi Yao, Luo Ji, and Ji Fanxin, who were all locked in combat.
The Yin Escape Nine Formation was a fusion of nine Space Divine Formations.
One Space Divine Formation suppressed one person, separating them all.
Zhang Ruochen's eyes were cold, and he raised his voice, "Stop now! Whoever makes another move..."
Before he could finish, the divine formation suppressing Luo Sha shook violently. She used a Space-class Supreme Sacred Artifact to pierce through it and charged into the Space Divine Formation where Bai Qinger was trapped.
"Sister Qinger, you're so calculating. I promised you such great benefits, yet you treat me like this?"
Luo Sha swung the crescent-shaped Space Supreme Sacred Artifact, slashing straight at Bai Qinger.
She hadn't lost her mind; she was doing it deliberately. It would be best if Bai Qinger severely wounded her. With no other options left, she could only resort to a bitter play.
"Chi Yao, Luo Ji, Ji Fanxin, I know you all want me dead. The hatred between you and the Rakshasa Clan runs deep. Come at me together!" Luo Sha said.
Chi Yao propped up the Space-Time Chaos Lotus, blocking the Star Gate suspended above the Space Divine Formation, and barged into the Space Divine Formation where Luo Sha and Bai Qinger were.
But she wasn't there to kill Luo Sha.
This time, she genuinely intended to stop Luo Sha and Bai Qinger.
The Yin Escape Nine Formation Zhang Ruochen had refined was naturally far inferior to Fangcun Master's. More importantly, he could only use the formation to trap them but couldn't activate its lethal killing moves.
Thus, they acted without restraint. How could he hold them back?
Zhang Ruochen saw that Ji Fanxin and Luo Ji looked displeased, as if they had a major grievance against him. The two women seemed eager to join the fight.
"Can't control you all, huh?"
Zhang Ruochen took out the bead that Jie Zunzhe had given him and activated it with divine qi.
He thought it was some kind of secret treasure, but the moment he activated it, the bead burst with a "bang," releasing a pinkish-red mist that instantly spread throughout the entire Yin Escape Nine Formation.
