# Chapter 3676: All Gods of Kunlun Realm Arrive Together
By the time Chi Xingtian arrived at the Space Divine Temple, the Qi Cheng Heaven Domain had already drawn the attention of gods from all sides of the Heavenly Court.
When Zhang Ruochen returned from the White Clothes Valley and descended upon West Ox Continent, even old-generation titans like God Kings, God Venerables, Ancestors, and Imperial Ancestors sent out divine thoughts to observe the development of events at any time.
One by one, message light talismans transmitted the latest information back to their respective great worlds, reporting to figures at the All Heavens level.
This showed the immense impact of Zhang Ruochen's return this time.
It also revealed how prominent his status and position had become—even the All Heavens dared not ignore his every move.
The Thousand Star Civilization had always maintained good relations with the Kunlun Realm, with many interests bound together. Naturally, they came to express support when such an incident occurred. The representatives they dispatched were Yu Chenjing, along with her grandfather "Yu Cangsheng" and grandmother "Feng Qingleng."
The three did not enter the Qi Cheng Heaven Universe under the Space Divine Temple's jurisdiction but stopped by a sacred lake at the edge of the heaven domain.
Feng Qingleng came from the Wind Clan and was a Grand Void Great God. She said: "Isn't Realm Lord Ruochen being too radical? Xue Qing was a top-tier Great God. Falling like this will surely leave a handle for criticism. How can this be settled peacefully today?"
"The fall of a Great God is no small matter—it will certainly lead to a deathmatch. Moreover, the Heavenly Palace will likely step in, using the Heavenly Code and Heavenly Regulations to arrest him." Yu Cangsheng sighed: "Too emotional, falling into others' schemes."
Yu Chenjing wore her hair in a bun with a jade hairpin, a cloud-pattern jade belt at her waist. She possessed a clear, beautiful elegance mixed with an extraordinary heroic spirit.
She understood Zhang Ruochen very well, knowing that Chi Kunlun's death would be a tremendous blow to him. She sighed: "Chi Kunlun was his legitimate eldest son, dying without clear cause. How could he not be angry in his heart? Where could he still maintain absolute rationality?"
Yu Cangsheng said coldly: "Everyone under heaven can fly into a rage for friends and family, forgetting life and death. But he, Zhang Ruochen, cannot!"
"Be careful with your words!" Feng Qingleng warned.
After witnessing Zhang Ruochen's formidable cultivation, Feng Qingleng had clearly recognized the gap between herself and him.
She could no longer directly call out the three words "Zhang Ruochen."
Even if they were Yu Chenjing's grandparents, even if Yu Chenjing and Zhang Ruochen had a marriage contract.
In the face of absolute cultivation disparity, these things could not become their capital to look down on Zhang Ruochen. If they did not recognize reality early and position themselves correctly, great disaster might come in the future.
Now, it was no longer the same as when they went to the Kunlun Realm to seek justice.
Had they not seen that Quan Zhongsheng and Dai Xue Queen, whose cultivations surpassed theirs, now revered Zhang Ruochen like a god?
Yu Cangsheng said: "What is there to be careful about? The truth is the truth. He, Zhang Ruochen, is the Lord of the Sword Realm, bearing the life and death of how many great worlds? How many old-generation figures have paved the way for him? To lose rationality like this because one son died—how disappointing! Even if he kills me, I will still say this."
"To be master of ten thousand ages, first watch the myriad beings perish. See through life and death, then you can control life and death."
Yu Chenjing pondered, then said: "Grandfather, don't be so agitated first! He has always planned carefully before acting, never doing things without certainty. Today, his behavior is somewhat unusual. Perhaps the situation is not as simple as what we see on the surface."
Yu Cangsheng's brows were filled with worry. He let out a long breath and said: "It is indeed abnormal! But the fall of a Great God and the destruction of the divine ladder are unforgivable crimes. The Heavenly Palace and those great figures who once cultivated at the Space Divine Temple will likely take action. Send a message to Divine Ancestor and ask him whether we should enter the Qi Cheng Heaven Domain or not."
The Thousand Star Civilization sending gods to appear at the edge of the Qi Cheng Heaven Domain represented an attitude of support, putting pressure on some forces hiding in the shadows.
However, because the Thousand Petal Realm had directly defected to the Sword Realm earlier, the Heavenly Court had become wary of the great worlds close to the Kunlun Realm.
The every move of powerful factions like the Thousand Star Civilization and the Heavenly Dragon Realm had to be cautious.
Under such extreme circumstances, being able to send gods at all had already pushed themselves to the forefront of the storm.
"The gods of the Kunlun Realm have arrived. It seems they also realize that the fall of a Great God is a catastrophic disaster and want to put pressure on the Heavenly Palace." Feng Qingleng said.
Led by Chi Yao, streaks of divine light flashed across the sky above the Qi Cheng Heaven Domain, heading toward the Zhi Chi River.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Moments later, figures standing within divine light appeared by the riverbank, lined up in a row.
Chi Yao and Zangjin Baihu stood at the very center.
Blood Lingsan, Han Qiu, Haitang Granny, Jingxiu... and several Realm Sons led by Xue Hongchen—except for the Dragon Lord, Qiangu Nüdi, and Princess Shen Po, almost all the gods of the Kunlun Realm had arrived.
...
Although Tianya God Venerable had been broken into two sections by the Earth Cauldron, with blood spilling all over the ground, he had not fallen.
Blood qi steamed as the two broken bodies roared.
Zhang Ruochen stood before the Space Divine Temple's gate, stepping on the Taiji Four Symbols Diagram Seal. Using divine power and rules, he suppressed Tianya God Venerable's blood qi and will, not giving him the chance to reconstitute his divine body.
A Great Unbound Infinite was a cosmic-level giant anywhere, yet now he was trampled underfoot, unable to turn the situation around.
Xie Tianyi had long since retreated, standing within the Star-Swallowing Divine Formation alongside a Space Divine Temple elder. There was no fear on his face—instead, a smile. He said: "Realm Lord Ruochen truly lives up to being a young Primordial Ancestor. This level of cultivation leaves even this Palace Master feeling ashamed. I fear that before long, your battle prowess will rival the All Heavens!"
How could he not be delighted?
Xue Qing had fallen, Tianya God Venerable was severely wounded, and the divine ladder had collapsed—this had already sealed Zhang Ruochen's fate. He would surely die today, and no one could save him.
And the arrival of the Kunlun Realm's gods had plunged the entire Kunlun Realm into a position condemned by thousands. They still wanted to compete for the dominant world of the Western Universe?
And all this scheming—he, Xie Tianyi, was definitely one of the masterminds.
The stronger Zhang Ruochen was, the more it highlighted his brilliant tactics.
Now, only personally killing Zhang Ruochen was needed to draw a perfect conclusion.
Zhang Ruochen said: "What? Palace Lord Xie still wants to offer some instruction?"
Xie Tianyi's gaze darkened. He barked: "The Third Elder of my Array-Destroying Palace was refined into a furnace of pills by you and presented to the Yama Clan's Tai Shang. The Second Elder also died at your hands. This Palace Master has been remembering these two blood debts!"
Zhang Ruochen said: "Palace Lord Xie misunderstands!"
"Misunderstands?" Xie Tianyi sneered coldly.
Zhang Ruochen said: "First, the Second Elder voluntarily came to cultivate in the Sword Realm and did not die. After all, the Sword Realm has two sages with perfect spiritual power. What the Array-Destroying Palace could not give him, the Sword Realm could. You couldn't keep him, so don't blame others."
"Second, the Third Elder went to Xinghuantian to kill people but was outmatched and killed by me instead. Can this be called a blood debt? It's called losing face! From a moral standpoint, we are the victims."
"If you want to settle blood debts, who will pay for the blood debts of those nameless white bones buried beneath Xinghuantian and the Kunlun Realm?"
"Have I, Zhang Ruochen, ever killed a single person on the Array-Destroying Palace's territory?"
A voice rang out from among the Space Divine Temple's gods: "What about the slaughter you and Princess Shen Po committed in the Paradise Realm? How do you account for that?"
Zhang Ruochen cast his gaze over and said: "Go seek compensation from Princess Shen Po yourselves! But have you ever thought about why she went on a killing spree in the Paradise Realm? How did you torment her over these hundred thousand years? Every cause has its effect—you planted the evil cause, so you must taste the evil fruit."
"Moreover, if I, this Venerable, had not put aside past grievances and gone to the Paradise Realm to help, the Paradise Realm would have long been controlled by the Quantity Organization, and the casualties would have been even more tragic."
"In the Paradise Realm, only Ke Yangshan and God King Dai Fei understand right and wrong. They long ago announced my merits to the world and forgave Princess Shen Po. They understand the greater good, know what is important for the overall situation, and recognize that the root of everything was the Paradise Realm's fault. That is why they made a big issue small and a small issue nothing."
The few gods from the Paradise Realm among the Space Divine Temple's deities were nearly furious enough to explode.
They knew some truth—that Ke Yangshan and God King Dai Fei had been forced into this.
But this was indeed a fact. At that time, the situation was critical, and the Heavenly Court needed internal stability to unite against the Hell Realm's attacks. Thus, the Heavenly Palace mediated and used this opportunity to resolve this hatred.
If they brought up old matters now, they would offend too many people.
"Clever tongue and sharp words! Do you think that by saying this, you can walk out of the Space Divine Temple alive today?" Xie Tianyi sneered coldly.
Zhang Ruochen said: "I, this Venerable, explained this because I don't want the All Heavens of the Heavenly Court to misunderstand—not because I'm speaking for you to hear, nor because I fear anything. With your eighty-seventh level spiritual power, you'd best not delude yourself into thinking you can be my opponent."
Xie Tianyi calmed down and laughed: "With Realm Lord Ruochen's current cultivation, you indeed have the right to such confidence. In a direct confrontation, this Palace Master admits he is no match for you. But with the Star-Swallowing Divine Formation, killing you is an easy task."
Zhang Ruochen said: "Oh, is that so?"
"Do you think that by entering the formation and severely wounding Tianya God Venerable, you can break the deadlock? You are terribly wrong! By entering the formation, you have lost even the chance to escape!"
Xie Tianyi exchanged positions with the Space Divine Temple elder beside him, raised his divine staff above his head, and continuously released his spiritual power outward.
Every god of the Space Divine Temple had divine light flickering on their bodies, as if they had turned into a sea of stars.
"Roar!"
The Star-Swallowing Divine Beast dispersed and disappeared.
The next moment, the earth ignited, turning into a blazing red plain of fire.
Behind Xie Tianyi, countless light projections of Star-Swallowing Divine Beasts appeared, with sharp beast claws and ferocious heads. Destructive formation divine power continuously converged toward him.
Xie Tianyi raised his voice: "This Palace Master may not be a god of the Space Divine Temple, but my understanding of formations far surpasses Tianya God Venerable's. Zhang Ruochen, how will you contend with me?"
Zhang Ruochen remained calm despite the change. He said: "Since you understand formations so deeply, you should know that the Star-Swallowing Divine Formation must mobilize the Space Essence in the temple to unleash its maximum power."
"To suppress you, why would I need to mobilize Space Essence?"
Xie Tianyi had one more sentence unsaid—the Space Essence in the Space Divine Temple was not something anyone could mobilize.
Even Tianya God Venerable could only mobilize a very limited amount of Space Essence.
Only the Hall Master, using the temple's inherited divine artifact, could mobilize all the Space Essence.
"You can't mobilize it. I will." Zhang Ruochen said.
