# Chapter 3310: Paradise Realm Boils Over
"Zhang Ruochen, you little brat, I regret not killing you with all my strength back then. How could things have come to this? Let's die together, perish together!"
Jia Tianxia's Divine Sea flew out from a fragment of bone, erupting with dazzling divine light.
Zhang Ruochen immediately released his spiritual power, but Canghai Grand Elder's doppelganger had already released his spiritual power first, dispersing Zhang Ruochen's.
Too late!
Zhang Ruochen's body sank as he jumped into the Earth Cauldron.
The Earth Cauldron rapidly contracted, shrinking to the size of a fist, and plunged into the ground.
"Crazy, crazy, why would it come to this..."
Puerbas was so frightened that he immediately fled with his axe, not forgetting to use divine qi to wrap up the unconscious Dai Xue Queen as he escaped.
"Jia Tianxia, that crying coward, where did his undying conviction go? Forced to self-destruct his divine source by a junior. If you're going to be a coward, stay a coward for life!"
Chi Xingtian cursed, disregarding his dignity as he plunged headfirst into the ground, chasing after the Earth Cauldron.
"Boom!"
The planet-sized Tongtian Divine Temple erupted with brilliant radiance, brighter than the combined light of a hundred stars.
The violent divine power fluctuations shattered the spiritual power techniques and Blood Soul Banner that Canghai Grand Elder had deployed. One by one, the formations around the temple were destroyed, unable to withstand the destructive energy of a Taixu Peak Great God's self-destruction.
Xiao Hei, who had just arrived outside the temple, was directly swept away by the divine power blast for a hundred thousand miles, dizzy and disoriented, unable to get up for a long time.
The entire Paradise Realm boiled over; all cultivators were shocked.
All deities, regardless of where they were, simultaneously activated their Heavenly Eye divine abilities to peer toward the direction of Tongtian Divine Temple.
Some temple deities acted decisively, immediately activating the realm-protecting divine formation.
"What happened at Tongtian Divine Temple? Has Xuanyi returned?" In a divine mountain of the Titan Temple, a giant awakened from beneath the earth, directly transmitting a message to Shangqiu and the Radiant Divine Temple.
But there was no response!
In the Elf Temple, a handsome deity gazed at the dusty region on the horizon, his eyes filled with worry. He communicated with deities from various temples across the void, saying, "Unable to contact Dai Xue Queen. The deities of Radiant Divine Temple and Shangqiu have not responded either. Paradise Realm has suffered its greatest disaster since the Middle Ages. Go to Maer Temple and report to the Ancestor Realm!"
A divine voice from the Beast Emperor Temple transmitted: "Activate the realm-protecting divine formation first! Whoever dares to invade Paradise Realm must pay with their life."
Even from distant star regions, the dazzling light spot emanating from Paradise Realm was visible.
Everyone thought it was an invasion from Hell Realm, and a large number of Heavenly Court deities rushed toward Paradise Realm.
Tongtian Divine Temple was severely damaged, with cracks appearing in many places. Parts of the temple's interior were in ruins, and the inner world had completely turned to rubble, showing no signs of life.
Both Canghai Grand Elder's Yin Yang Eighteen Formations and Xiu Chen Heavenly God's controlled Yin Yang Eighteen Formations had shattered into pieces of formation world fragments.
The Earth Cauldron flew out from underground, returning to its normal size.
Chi Xingtian flew out from the cauldron, unable to hold back, spitting out a mouthful of divine blood. Then, he took a deep breath, sucking all the blood qi back into his body.
Destructive energy had penetrated through the Earth Cauldron and injured him.
Zhang Ruochen was also not feeling well, but he managed to maintain his composure, forcibly suppressing his injuries.
Before them was like a scene of doomsday—barren continents everywhere, mountains collapsed, rivers dried up. There were not only fragments of formation worlds but also fragments of divine realm worlds and fragments of the scroll world of the "Shura Hell Diagram."
Zhang Ruochen waved his sleeve, stirring up a gust of cold wind.
The worlds before him immediately turned to dust.
"What a pity... Miaoli..." Zhang Ruochen sighed.
"Bang!"
The Sundial flew out from beneath the desert sand.
Xiu Chen Heavenly God's figure manifested on the Sundial, extremely dissatisfied, saying, "Zhang Ruochen, I told you, Jia Tianxia had to die by my hand. How could you let him self-destruct his divine source?"
Seeing that she was alive, Zhang Ruochen laughed, saying, "I didn't expect him to be so decisive. Perhaps he felt too humiliated being defeated by me and couldn't think straight, so he did something foolish."
Chi Xingtian looked at the sky, saying, "Forget about a dead man! Hurry up and save people. If we don't, we might all die in Paradise Realm."
The center of Tongtian Divine Temple had always been empty, without a roof. That was where the Tongtian Tower had once been stored.
The sky was covered by thick dark clouds, and lightning could be faintly seen shuttling within the clouds, carrying powerful and inexplicable energy fluctuations.
The realm-protecting divine formation was being activated.
Zhang Ruochen said, "The formation hub of Tongtian Divine Temple has been destroyed. In a short time, I'm afraid we won't be able to rescue Princess Shenba."
Xiu Chen Heavenly God showed an extremely nervous expression, saying, "Don't think about saving people anymore. Hurry up and escape. If we don't, there won't be another chance!"
"Use the Earth Cauldron to take away Tongtian Divine Temple," Chi Xingtian said.
Zhang Ruochen agreed with Chi Xingtian's proposal and was about to act when suddenly, the boundless desert before them was swept by furious winds, filling the air with dust.
Canghai Grand Elder's figure appeared in the dust, saying, "Zhang Ruochen, hand over the God-Defying Stele, and everyone will have a way out today. Otherwise, this old man will do everything in his power to keep you here."
Zhang Ruochen hadn't expected the Quantity Organization to value the God-Defying Stele so much that they didn't even demand the Earth Cauldron.
Canghai Grand Elder spoke again, "Time is running out. In a few more moments, Paradise Realm's realm-protecting divine formation will be fully activated. Then everyone will die."
Xiu Chen Heavenly God felt the increasingly terrifying pressure of heaven and earth, saying, "Give him the God-Defying Stele for now. This god will surely kill him later and personally take it back."
As her cultivation continued to recover, Xiu Chen regained the confidence of a generation's Heavenly God.
"You, an artifact spirit, what right do you have to make decisions?"
Zhang Ruochen summoned the Six Divine Swords, his gaze sharp and fierce, saying, "Attack together and kill this old bastard."
Chi Xingtian thought he was already quite stubborn, but he didn't expect Zhang Ruochen to be just as hard-headed.
The deities of Paradise Realm were rushing over, and the realm-protecting divine formation had already been activated. At this time, to still fight to the death with Canghai Grand Elder—was this seeking mutual destruction?
Canghai Grand Elder felt he had miscalculated. He hadn't expected that even with such lenient conditions, Zhang Ruochen wouldn't compromise. Could this brat think he was the young master of Paradise Realm?
Zhang Ruochen and Chi Xingtian attacked from two different directions.
"What are you still doing? I have a way to escape," Zhang Ruochen scolded Xiu Chen Heavenly God.
After Xiu Chen Heavenly God joined the battle, Canghai Grand Elder no longer dared to stay and immediately fled. Leaving Tongtian Divine Temple, he rushed toward Shangqiu.
Chi Xingtian asked, "Should we chase?"
"Chase what? Do you really not want to live?" Zhang Ruochen stopped Chi Xingtian, his gaze turning toward the direction of the Divine Transformation Platform, sensing Puerbas hiding behind it.
Chi Xingtian and Xiu Chen Heavenly God also detected him.
"How about capturing him and using him and that Elf Queen as hostages? We might be able to escape today," Chi Xingtian said, impressed by his own strategy and eager to implement it.
Xiu Chen Heavenly God looked at him with newfound respect, saying, "Unexpected... good, this method is excellent."
Puerbas rushed out from behind the Divine Transformation Platform, his body covered in bloodstains. Clearly, Jia Tianxia's self-destruction of his divine source had severely injured him. He widened his eyes, raised his battle axe, and roared, "There is only Puerbas who dies fighting in this world! Capturing me? Dream on!"
Before he finished speaking, divine blood had already ignited within him, his blood qi completely boiling.
Just as everyone thought he was about to fight to the death, Puerbas turned and fled, rushing toward a gap in Tongtian Divine Temple.
"Whoosh!"
The Taiji Yin-Yang Diagram appeared, and Zhang Ruochen's body shifted within the diagram, appearing before Puerbas as he swung his sword down.
Puerbas hastily raised his axe to block.
"Bang!"
He was sent flying backward, crashing into the desert.
Chi Xingtian's arm transformed into a cat's paw hundreds of feet long, slapping down from across the void. Puerbas narrowly avoided it and continued his panicked escape.
The Sundial crashed into him, striking him.
Puerbas flew out again, crashing into the Divine Transformation Platform, with several wounds on his body spurting blood.
Zhang Ruochen, Xiu Chen Heavenly God, and Chi Xingtian surrounded him from three different directions. Puerbas remained stubborn, saying, "The realm-protecting divine formation has already been activated. Strong experts from the Ancestor Realm will surely emerge..."
Seeming to realize that threats were useless, Puerbas panted heavily, his eyes slightly red, gritting his teeth, "You... you three fighting one, what kind of skill is that?"
"We're targeting you specifically."
Chi Xingtian and Xiu Chen Heavenly God rushed out eagerly, one releasing demonic qi to condense into a Heavenly Demon shadow, the other manifesting a sea of time.
"Rumble!"
Violent divine power fluctuations descended from the sky.
Not landing here, but falling toward Shangqiu.
Zhang Ruochen held his sword, looking toward Shangqiu, very worried about Moon God's safety. Without a doubt, a great change had truly occurred in Shangqiu, otherwise the deities of Paradise Realm wouldn't have attacked there first.
Under the urging of divine qi, the Earth Cauldron slowly floated up.
"Clatter!"
Suddenly, from the hall on the Divine Transformation Platform, came the sound of chains dragging.
Then, with a loud crash, a large number of divine patterns appeared on the hall's surface. A circle of powerful energy fluctuations erupted with the hall as the center.
"Help me! Using the power of Tongtian Divine Temple, we can break through this incomplete realm-protecting divine formation of Paradise Realm." A woman's voice came from within the hall.
Zhang Ruochen narrowed his eyes.
Earlier, Jia Tianxia's self-destruction of his divine source had worn away much of the Divine Transformation Platform's power. The imprisoned Princess Shenba in the hall seemed to be trying to break out on her own.
Was this princess really that strong?
Zhang Ruochen naturally didn't doubt the power of Tongtian Divine Temple. The reason Jia Tianxia's self-destruction could damage the temple was that many formations and measures within it hadn't been activated.
Some of Tongtian Divine Temple's power and secrets originated from Half-Ancestors, even Ancestors. Even Xuanyi and Shang Tian might not have fully analyzed and mastered them.
"Fine, today I'll borrow Tongtian Divine Temple to fight against Paradise Realm. Repay grievances, settle scores!"
Zhang Ruochen grabbed the God-Defying Stele, leaped into the air, and smashed it heavily toward the hall on the Divine Transformation Platform.
