# Chapter 3308: Everyone Wants Jia Tianxia
Purbas, having reformed his divine body, lifted his battle axe and gazed toward the direction of the Transformation Platform.
"How is this possible? The divine patterns on Chi Xingtian were actually deciphered by Zhang Ruochen. This kid..."
Purbas found himself at a loss for words. He could only feel that today, Paradise Realm had suffered too great a defeat—losing to the Quantity Organization, and also losing to Kunlun Realm.
No!
It was not over yet. Not defeated yet.
Continue fighting!
Divine light flowed across Purbas's body as he soared into the air, striking down with a heavy axe blow.
The battle axe possessed the momentum to split heaven and earth, tearing apart the continent condensed from the "Shura Hell Diagram" and rescuing Quan Zhongsheng. Afterward, he continued flying toward the formation center of the Divine Passage Temple.
Quan Zhongsheng understood the current situation and, without any lingering desire to fight, rushed straight out of the temple.
Only by breaking through the concealment methods arranged by Grand Minister of Works Canghai and Zhang Ruochen outside the temple, and transmitting the situation within the Divine Passage Temple to the outside, could they use the full power of Paradise Realm to regain control of the situation.
Jia Tianxia charged out from the ruins, his blood wings spreading behind him as he pursued Quan Zhongsheng.
Quan Zhongsheng knew he was no match for Jia Tianxia and said, "Jia Tianxia, can't you see the situation clearly? Chi Xingtian has already broken free. If Zhang Ruochen releases Shen Ba as well, everyone will die."
"Die? I have already broken through Body Stop. If no Boundless One appears, who can kill me?"
Jia Tianxia's speed was astonishing, his power like a mountain overturning the sea, shattering the Purple Calamity Divine Thunder that Quan Zhongsheng unleashed, pressing forward step by step.
Having broken through Body Stop, his physical body could rapidly improve in a short time.
He intended to use Quan Zhongsheng's abundant blood energy to enhance his own physical strength.
Jia Tianxia naturally had confidence in his immortality. Having reached his level of cultivation, unless a God-Slaying Great Killing Artifact or an Esoteric Lord appeared, he was practically immortal and indestructible.
And how many Esoteric Lords existed below the Boundless Realm?
Moreover, he had sufficient confidence in Grand Minister of Works Canghai. If no Boundless One appeared, who could block his Yin Yang Eighteen Formations?
But Grand Minister of Works Canghai had begun to doubt his own power. Xiu Chen Heavenly God was excessively strong, using the Yin Yang Eighteen Formations and the Sundial to constantly keep him occupied.
"Let him leave."
Grand Minister of Works Canghai sent a telepathic message to Jia Tianxia.
Jia Tianxia paused slightly, feeling puzzled.
If Quan Zhongsheng was allowed to leave, news would quickly spread throughout Paradise Realm. Once the Radiant Divine Temple, Shangqiu, Elf Divine Temple, Titan Divine Temple... and all the other divine temples joined forces to activate the Realm-Protecting Divine Formation, Zhang Ruochen would surely die. And as members of the Quantity Organization, how could they survive?
Not to mention fully activating the Realm-Protecting Divine Formation—if Shangqiu, the closest to the Divine Passage Temple, activated even a corner of it, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Just as Jia Tianxia hesitated, Quan Zhongsheng executed a movement technique, transforming into a streak of flowing light and lightning, charging out of the temple.
Grand Minister of Works Canghai did not explain to Jia Tianxia and sent another telepathic message: "First seize control of the Divine Passage Temple's formation..."
Before he could finish speaking—
"Boom!"
A glowing sword tip tore through the air, striking Quan Zhongsheng just as he was about to escape the Divine Passage Temple.
It was a rust-covered sword, but its blade contained flames as scorching as a blazing sun.
Divine patterns floated and sank on the sword body.
Divine Sword Number Three pierced through Quan Zhongsheng's back, the sword body transforming into a thousand-foot-tall rusted pillar, pinning him to the ground. No matter how much lightning and rule divine patterns Quan Zhongsheng released, or how much he burned his blood to erupt divine power, he could not break free.
Zhang Ruochen, still dressed in white robes, stood atop Divine Sword Number Three, looking down at Jia Tianxia below. "You said earlier, if no Boundless One appears, who can kill you? How about I do it?"
The light radiating from Jia Tianxia's blood wings dyed the entire inner world of the temple blood-red.
This junior, whom he had once regarded as mere dust, had now grown into a towering tree, bringing him immense pressure.
"Jia Tianxia's life is mine."
Xiu Chen Heavenly God's voice came from within the Yin Yang Eighteen Formations.
It was as if she would abandon everything if Zhang Ruochen did not leave Jia Tianxia to her.
"Whoosh!"
Jia Tianxia pushed his speed to the limit, his wings tracing a blood-colored arc through space as he charged toward the formation center of the Divine Passage Temple.
"Bang!"
A punch landed on Jia Tianxia's face.
Half of his head was smashed, his cheekbones and jaw shattered into pieces.
His body flew sideways, crashing down below Divine Sword Number Three, splitting the earth into a deep ravine.
Chi Xingtian held Purbas's mount, the Cloud-Swallowing Beast, in his left hand as he landed heavily. Blood from Jia Tianxia dripped continuously from his right fist.
"Roar!"
The Cloud-Swallowing Beast wailed but could not break free from Chi Xingtian's grip.
Chi Xingtian's divine body was enormous, like a human-shaped divine mountain. He directly bit off half of the Cloud-Swallowing Beast's body and swallowed it. Then, the other half was also devoured.
The world-destroying demon revealed his ferocious side, his hair disheveled, his appearance fierce and ferocious.
After absorbing the blood energy of the Cloud-Swallowing Beast, Chi Xingtian's withered body gradually "swelled" up. The places pierced by the Radiant War Spear slowly scabbed over.
Zhang Ruochen moved his finger, and a Longqing Fruit flew into Chi Xingtian's hand.
"Thanks!"
Chi Xingtian, rare for him, showed politeness once, then grinned broadly.
After consuming the Longqing Fruit, his injuries healed even faster.
"Leave Jia Tianxia to me. If I eat him, I can completely kill him. And it will help me recover my blood energy!"
Chi Xingtian believed that although Zhang Ruochen's combat power was strong, killing a Taixu Peak Great God was still impossible.
At least, not in a short time.
"Who dares touch Jia Tianxia?"
Xiu Chen Heavenly God was furious, determined to claim Jia Tianxia.
At this moment, Jia Tianxia was experiencing the most humiliating moment since he began cultivating.
Everyone wanted to kill him, everyone was fighting over him.
Especially Chi Xingtian and Xiu Chen Heavenly God—they treated him like a divine medicine. Did they really think a Taixu Peak Great God who had broken through Body Stop was someone to be trifled with?
Zhang Ruochen said, "Stop arguing. Leave him to me. Saving people is the priority. First seize control of the temple's formation and break the Transformation Platform."
In the past, Chi Xingtian would never have listened to Zhang Ruochen's arrangements.
But today's events not only made him owe Zhang Ruochen a huge favor but also filled him with genuine admiration for this young man.
Chi Xingtian chased after Purbas, shouting, "Purbas, let's fight again! Back then, I could crush your head. Today, I will eat you."
Zhang Ruochen frowned deeply, feeling a wave of disgust.
Since when did Chi Xingtian develop such a taste?
Eating any Great God he saw—was he that starved?
Then he remembered that Chi Xingtian was not human; his true form was a cyan-colored cat. He immediately felt relieved. This was a demonic beast of the demonic path!
First imprisoned in Luozu Cloud Mountain Realm, then tortured in the Divine Passage Temple—even a cat that ate vegetables would have its ferocity awakened.
Below, Jia Tianxia seemed to have activated some forbidden secret technique. His originally quite handsome body suddenly grew massive chunks of muscle.
The muscles were blood-red, emitting a metallic luster.
His aura grew stronger and stronger, the blood wings on his back increasing from eight to ten. Countless rule divine patterns flew out from his body, pushing the surrounding space apart.
Quan Zhongsheng, who had been pinned down by Divine Sword Number Three, severed his own divine body, splitting into two halves.
The two halves quickly grew into two identical Quan Zhongshengs.
One Quan Zhongsheng unleashed Purple Calamity Divine Thunder, striking at Zhang Ruochen. The other Quan Zhongsheng charged toward the exit of the Divine Passage Temple.
"Whoosh!"
Zhang Ruochen vanished from the top of Divine Sword Number Three. The next moment, he appeared at the entrance of the Divine Passage Temple, throwing a punch that erupted with chaotic light illuminating heaven and earth.
Quan Zhongsheng's body exploded directly, turning into a brilliant cloud of blood mist.
The blood mist was immediately absorbed into the Earth Cauldron.
The power of the Immovable Wisdom King Fist was simply too overwhelming. The residual force struck the other Quan Zhongsheng, sending him staggering backward.
Only now did Quan Zhongsheng realize how terrifying Zhang Ruochen had become. He exclaimed in shock, "Have you reached the Heart Stop realm?"
"No, it's Taixu Middle Stage."
Zhang Ruochen's figure flickered, performing a spatial jump, and appeared before Quan Zhongsheng.
Just as Quan Zhongsheng unleashed divine lightning, Zhang Ruochen's punch shattered his body. Flesh fragments flew backward, his divine sea manifested within the blood mist, and countless rule divine patterns and divine energy lingered in the space.
Zhang Ruochen did not waste time searching for the divine source within the divine sea. He directly collected Quan Zhongsheng's flesh, divine sea, divine energy, and rule divine patterns into the Earth Cauldron.
With the Earth Cauldron, this God-Slaying Great Killing Artifact, in his hands, even a Taixu Peak Great God could be killed!
Jia Tianxia stood behind, watching clearly. Zhang Ruochen was too bizarre—even within the Divine Passage Temple, he could mobilize the power of heaven and earth and the rules of heaven and earth.
Not only that, he could also mobilize the power of the Divine Passage Temple itself.
This was even more terrifying than a Dao Domain's Esoteric Lord!
Jia Tianxia, who had originally wanted to fight to the death, activated his Liang Shi Divine Robe, spread his ten blood wings, and used the robe's speed to flee, charging toward the location of the Divine Passage Temple's formation hub.
...
Shangqiu. Legend has it that, many years ago, it was just an ordinary hill, the hometown of Shang Tian in his youth.
Born ordinary yet able to seal the heavens—such figures are rare throughout history.
Shang Tian was precisely one of them.
His talent was heaven-defying to the extreme. Even cultivating the "Three Corpses Refining the Dao," his cultivation speed was astonishingly fast. Three hundred thousand years ago, he already possessed the strength to challenge the All Heavens.
His self-created divine ability, "Eight Techniques of Heavenly Desolation," was exquisite and unparalleled, able to compete even with the Heavenly Venerable's divine ability, "Ten Thousand Dragons Paying Homage."
Today's Shangqiu had already changed the established structure of Paradise Realm, enough to rival the Radiant Divine Temple. The Elf Divine Temple, Titan Divine Temple, Beast Emperor Divine Temple, Blood Sea Hidden Heaven Divine Temple, and other long-established powers had all been overshadowed by Shangqiu.
Shangqiu was no longer what it used to be. From the outside, it had transformed into a divine land.
Three-colored divine mist spread among the mountains, nurturing countless exotic flowers and rare herbs.
But even such a forbidden existence now had two cultivators wearing Liang Shi Divine Robes standing inside the Shang Tian Divine Temple.
Outside the temple, corpses littered the ground.
A fierce battle had clearly erupted inside the temple. Shang Tian's statue had been shattered into pieces.
Shang Tian's statue must have contained the rule divine patterns and divine soul left by Shang Tian, yet it was still broken, showing the terrifying strength of the attackers.
If Zhang Ruochen were present, he would certainly be shocked, because one of the Liang Shi was actually wearing a mask with the character "Ji" (Mechanism).
After entering the temple, Liang Ji released his spiritual power to analyze the formation base of Paradise Realm's Realm-Protecting Divine Formation located at Shangqiu. At the same time, he took out a divine talisman to suppress the formation spirit.
