# Chapter 3283: The Top-Tier Experts of the Hell Realm
In the past, they would have just laughed it off, thinking this junior didn't know his place.
But now, when Zhang Ruochen said such words, they actually carried considerable weight. Especially Blood Soul Monarch, who genuinely felt that Zhang Ruochen's cultivation speed was too terrifying. His potential was limitless; at the very least, he would reach the All Heavens level in the future, and might even attain the Heavenly Venerable rank, becoming invincible under heaven.
If not for his favorable view of Zhang Ruochen, he wouldn't have tacitly allowed the amnesiac Great Senluo Emperor to follow Zhang Ruochen back then. At that time, Zhang Ruochen was merely a Hundred Shackles Realm Great Saint!
If Qingtian hadn't personally made a move against Zhang Ruochen, frightening Blood Soul Monarch, the latter wouldn't have recalled the Great Senluo Emperor.
In terms of long-term vision, Blood Soul Monarch far surpassed Source Heaven Monarch.
Source Heaven Monarch had valued Yuan Qianmo, valued Yan Wushen, and also valued Nan Sheng—he didn't only value Zhang Ruochen.
Of course, these two Death Clan deities shared one common virtue: they didn't consider themselves too lofty just because they were gods, and could recognize the extraordinary nature of the younger generation's prodigies, not treating them as ants.
Red Abyss Ghost Lord continued his report, saying: "Although most true gods are unwilling to submit, many among the false gods have surrendered."
"These false gods are merely afraid of death. After all, if I take their divine sources, I can quickly cultivate new false gods." Zhang Ruochen didn't pay much attention, saying: "Blood Soul, Source Heaven, you two will manage these false gods. If any show disloyalty, just kill them."
Red Abyss Ghost Lord said: "Actually... this lord could also handle it."
"You are a Grand Void Great God; commanding a group of false gods would be a waste of your talents!" Zhang Ruochen said.
Source Heaven Monarch was eager to prove himself, reminding: "In the Black Sea Realm battle, the Hell Realm's deities suffered a complete defeat. Their next move will surely be overwhelming. Especially with Xu Zhen's fall, it's equivalent to declaring war on the entire Death Clan, declaring war on the entire Hell Realm."
"According to this god's knowledge, Kong Can and Elder Yang control a God King War Formation that can integrate the power of over a hundred Death Clan deities, with extremely formidable power."
"Furthermore, this matter will inevitably alarm Half-Venerable and Red Robe High Priest. If they rush here, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Blood Soul Monarch looked toward Source Heaven Monarch.
To show loyalty, Source Heaven Monarch had completely revealed the Death Clan's foundations, leaving himself no retreat.
Source Heaven Monarch met Blood Soul Monarch's gaze, slightly smiling.
Half-Venerable and Red Robe High Priest were absolutely thunderous names within the Death Clan.
Especially after the Boundless North Expedition, these two, along with Fourth Master and Fifth Master of Tiannan, had become the four kings of the Death Clan. Their words became law, and no one dared to oppose them.
Half-Venerable was called Half-Venerable because when Second Master visited the Death God Temple and met him, he was amazed and commented: "Ru Hai will surely be titled Venerable in the future."
After this word spread, Yuan Ru Hai gained the title of Half-Venerable, now temporarily governing the Death God Temple, and was the number one martial artist of the Death Clan.
Red Robe High Priest was in charge of the Death God Temple's ancestral temple sacrifices, historical compilation, scripture collection, spiritual exploration... and all such matters, generally held by the Death God Temple's strongest spiritual power cultivator.
Blood Soul Monarch cut ahead of Source Heaven Monarch, saying: "Although Half-Venerable and Red Robe High Priest are undoubtedly top-tier experts of this era, one is guarding the Death God Temple, and the other is far away at the Starry Sky Defense Line. They can't rush over in a short time."
"Actually, among the most powerful figures of the Hell Realm in the Hundred Clans Royal City star region, Jade Python Lord of the Stone Clan must be one of them."
Zhang Ruochen said: "Jade Python Lord... never heard of him."
"It's normal that Realm Lord hasn't heard his name. Jade Python Lord only emerged in the last hundred years as a Stone Clan supreme."
"Emerged from nowhere?"
"Exactly! Since his emergence, he has never been defeated."
Zhang Ruochen said: "Perhaps he just hasn't encountered a strong opponent."
Blood Soul Monarch said: "Jade Spirit God, who had reached the peak of Grand Void Realm, relying on the power of the Yaksha Ancestor God Temple, was severely wounded by Jade Python Lord with a single axe strike."
"Jade Python Lord once pursued Stone Axe Lord Yu Sanjie, a suspected member of the Quantity Organization from the Stone Clan, seized his axe, and forced Yu Sanjie to use forbidden arts to escape. That Yu Sanjie was a figure listed in the 'Great God Treatise,' ranked among the top five ancient gods of the Stone Clan."
Source Heaven Monarch interjected, saying: "Jade Python Lord should be a deity who emerged from the Stone Clan's Ancestor Realm."
"Aren't the ten great planets of the Stone Clan all evolved from the bodies of ancestors?" Zhang Ruochen said.
Source Heaven Monarch laughed: "That's just the Stone Clan boasting! Ten ancestors, all leaving behind divine bodies—do you believe that, Realm Lord? Besides, divine bodies are divine bodies, and the Ancestor Realm is the Ancestor Realm—they're completely different."
"The Ancestor Realm is a great secret for any clan, their final foundation. Even true gods might not be able to access it."
"In any case, Jade Python Lord is no ordinary figure, qualified to contend for the position of the Stone Clan's strongest. Of course, that's assuming Desolate Heaven Great God doesn't compete."
After they finished speaking, Red Abyss Ghost Lord said: "Actually, what this lord worries about most is still Fengdu Ghost City."
"Fengdu Ghost City has had continuous major incidents—Xue Changjin, Chi Chaluo, Zhao Wu, Xue Ying, and earlier Mo Fei, Xue Li—these Grand Void Great Gods, dead or fled. Everyone thinks Fengdu Ghost City will be down and out, but this lord doesn't think so."
"In terms of foundation and reputation, in this era, the Death Clan and Stone Clan can't compare to Fengdu Ghost City. The Great Emperor could leave calmly; besides Soul Seven, Fengdu Ghost City must have other supreme experts."
"Think about it—Fengdu Ghost City is now in chaos, internally weak. Where does Soul Seven get the confidence to go to the Starry Sky Defense Line?"
Source Heaven Monarch was displeased, saying: "Ghost Lord, what do you mean by this? Afraid of offending Fengdu Ghost City, wanting Realm Lord to release Se Realm King and the others?"
Red Abyss Ghost Lord knew Source Heaven Monarch was digging a pit for him, noted this grudge in his heart, and quickly explained: "How could captured deities be easily released? But we can't offend the entire Hell Realm. Realm Lord's purpose is to save the Hundred Clans Royal City, to force the Hell Realm to retreat, not to start an all-out war."
"Our strategy should be to befriend one group and suppress another."
"For example, the Darkness Temple and the Undying Blood Clan are worth befriending. Of course, the Destiny Temple and Fengdu Ghost City are also within consideration."
"But ruthless measures are also necessary. We need to kill a batch, make them feel the pain, make them fear, make them weigh the pros and cons—only then will they retreat. For example, the Death Clan, the Blazing Sun Clan."
"How does this god feel you're just bullying the weak and fearing the strong?" A melodious voice rang out.
"Where am I bullying the weak and fearing the strong? The Death Clan's strength is enormous—where are they weak?"
Red Abyss Ghost Lord was furious but dared not flare up, because the one who had just spoken was Xiu Chen Heavenly God.
This Xiu Chen Heavenly God was once a top-tier existence of the Shura Clan, with a great reputation for slaughter. Unexpectedly, she was now becoming more and more womanly, clearly trying to please Zhang Ruochen, aiming to become the Realm Lord's wife. Not to be provoked—at least not for now.
Xiu Chen Heavenly God drifted in, walked straight into the divine hall, and as she passed Red Abyss Ghost Lord, said: "What's so strong about a mere Yuan Ru Hai and Red Robe Priest Mu Xianzhe? If they dare come, this god will just cut them down, take their divine souls, and make great medicine."
With her cultivation improved, Xiu Chen Heavenly God's confidence had greatly increased.
Moreover, she still had her greatest trump card—Zhang Ruochen.
In the Dark Great Triangle Star Domain, her divine soul was far inferior to now, yet borrowing Zhang Ruochen's Wuji Divine Dao, she could fight Lei Suling. What about now?
Xiu Chen Heavenly God handed the space ring to Zhang Ruochen, saying: "The various resources and treasures collected by the Darkness Temple are mostly inside!"
"So fast?" Zhang Ruochen said.
Xiu Chen Heavenly God said: "Such trivial matters will naturally be handled by the false gods and great saints of the Darkness Temple. This god only needs to supervise with divine soul!"
"Alright, go brew a pot of tea. I have important matters to discuss with you." Zhang Ruochen casually ordered, taking the space ring and beginning to inspect it.
Xiu Chen Heavenly God gritted her teeth, coldly saying: "Do you enjoy drinking tea that much?"
Zhang Ruochen felt a chill all over, laughed: "Tea brewed by a Heavenly God is certainly different—that's the key point."
He immediately added: "If your divine soul recovers to thirty percent of Boundless level, how many below Boundless would still be your match?"
Red Abyss Ghost Lord had long been frightened away by the cold aura emanating from Xiu Chen Heavenly God.
Xiu Chen Heavenly God carried a colored glaze jade tray, served tea, walked over, placed it before Zhang Ruochen, and asked in a low voice: "You want to use the Wuji Divine Hall to help this god's divine soul reach thirty percent of Boundless?"
"Unless you can completely transform into a woman from the inside out, otherwise, this matter is hard to discuss." Zhang Ruochen said.
"Boom!"
Xiu Chen Heavenly God released her divine power, shattering the tea table to pieces.
Zhang Ruochen looked at her in bewilderment, saying: "What are you doing? I'm being very serious with you, and you're throwing a tantrum? To tell you the truth, I've obtained part of Wubian's Boundless divine patterns and divine power. Combined with this divine hall, I already have some confidence to condense Taiyin. The only thing missing is your assistance—don't screw this up."
"Mo Yin, you teach her! I'll give you one month. First, change her from the personality side."
"Also, she's been only having a soul body and stone body—that's not good. She needs to cultivate a physical body. Don't follow the Hell Realm Stone Clan's path; follow the Heavenly Court Stone Realm Stone Clan's path. Divide yin and yang, determine gender. Moving toward life is the great path. Moving toward death would be going back to the old path!"
"What are you glaring at? I'm helping you grow. When your cultivation achieves great success in the future, don't forget my teachings today. You've lived so many years—how have you not figured things out?"
