The Nine Spirits Great Sage continued, “When travelling to the Ancestral Spirit Realm, one cannot carry any special battle treasures above Saint King level power. For example, Saint Match.”
“In other words, one cannot directly borrow the power of an outsider.”
“Of course, treasures that have been refined into the body, or Great Saint Ancient Artifacts or Divine Legacy Ancient Artifacts, can be brought into the battlefield instead. Other than that, there is only one person who can make an exception.”
“Who?”
Zhang Ruochen and Wu Hao asked almost simultaneously.
“The Divine Envoy.”
With that, the Nine Spirits Great Sage added, “In the seven realms of Shatuo, a Divine Envoy will be selected among the Saints of each realm. A Divine Envoy can hold a battle weapon that has been enchanted by a Divine Spirit, however, this one battle weapon can only be used once.”
Zhang Ruochen asked, “Since this piece of Divine Spirit Battle Weapon of a Divine Envoy can only be used once, when exactly is it used?”
The Nine Spirits Great Sage explained, “Although the Ancestral Spirit Realm has now entered the Armageddon Battlefield Stage, and the Saint King level powerhouses from both sides have already withdrawn, but in case there is a Rakshasa Clan’s Saint King hiding in the Ancestral Spirit Realm, then it would be a huge disaster for the Saint Masters of the Shatuo Seven Realms.”
“This Divine Spirit Battle Weapon of the Divine Messenger is used to deal with such uncertainties.”
“Secondly, if the Sector Son is too arbitrary and makes an extremely wrong decision, the Divine Messenger can use the Divine Spirit Battle Weapon …… to strike him down.”
As he said this, the Nine Spirits Great Sage stared deeply at Wu Hao.
Wu Hao’s face remained unchanged, however, a scornful look did flash through his eyes.
The Nine Spirits Great Sage said, “The existence of the Divine Spirit Battle Weapon is only known to the Realm Sons and Divine Ambassadors of the Seven Realms for the time being, so don’t tell the other Saints for now, only then, in case there is an uncertainty factor, will you be able to win by surprise.”
Zhang Ruochen looked at the Saint Sword in his hand and perceived that, within the body of the sword, there was an incomparably terrifying energy fluctuation contained within it, saying, “That Divine Spirit Battle Weapon is it?”
“That’s right.”The Nine Spirits Great Sage nodded.
Zhang Ruochen carefully incorporated the Saint Sword into his spatial ring and stored it properly.
“The Saint Merit Battle, Saint King Merit Battle, Great Sage Merit Battle, and Divine Spirit Merit Battle are all taking place at the same time, so after entering the Ancestral Spirit Realm, you can only rely on yourselves for everything, and don’t hope for anyone to come and help you. The responsibility on your shoulders is quite significant, for the sake of the life and death of the Guanghan Realm, you must be united and strive to kill more Rakshasas and capture more merit values.”
The Nine Spirits Great Sage was incomparably serious, and at the same time, his tone was quite heavy.
“Please don’t worry Great Sage, and please don’t worry Lady Moon Goddess, with Brother Zhang and I here, we will fight to the death to seize more merit value.”
One of Wu Hao’s palms, slapped on Zhang Ruochen’s shoulder, and let out a cheerful laugh.
Afterwards, the Nine Spirits Great Sage told them that the time for the Merit War to open was roughly ten days later.
After Zhang Ruochen and Wu Hao retreated, the three great giants of the Guanghan Realm all fell into silence.
After a long time, the Silent Emperor was the first to speak, saying, “It’s fortunate that the Kunlun Realm has entered the Heavenly Court, otherwise, the Guanghan Realm would surely be at the bottom of the list, turning into the next victim.”
The Great Sage of the Nine Spirits said, “The Gods of the Heavenly Court, by allowing the Kunlun Realm to enter the Heavenly Court, presumably intend for the Kunlun Realm to become the next battlefield. After all, the Kunlun Realm is hiding a lot of extraordinary treasures, even the gods would be moved.”
Wu Zu’s voice rang out, saying, “Everyone must not underestimate the Kunlun Realm, 100,000 years ago, the Kunlun Realm was ranked fifth on the Ten Thousand Realms Merit List, and almost became the number one hegemon of the Western Universe. Even after going through a low period of 100,000 years, it is still not to be underestimated. In case they have some hidden means and their merit value surpasses ours, then it will be a disaster of doom for the Guanghan Realm.”
The Silent Emperor and the Nine Spirits Great Sage both nodded cautiously and said, “No matter what, there is no way back for us in this Merit War, we must fight with our backs to the wall. Even if we lose our lives, we must win.”
After the Ten Thousand Saints Conference ended, all of the Great Saints of the Guanghan Realm returned to the various Great Sacred Realms, carrying a large amount of Six Saints Ascension Wine and Sacred Transformation Pills.
They had to cultivate more Saints within ten days.
Every additional Saint was also an additional hope for victory.
All the saints and saint kings who had come to participate in the Ten Thousand Saints Conference stayed in the Tongyi Sacred Realm where the Moon God Mountain was located and waited for the arrival of the Merit Battle.
After flying down the Moon God Mountain, Wu Hao brought Zhang Ruochen and rushed towards the resting place of the saints.
On the way, Wu Hao asked, “Brother Zhang should be the Saint that the Moon Goddess brought back, right?”
“I did come to the Heavenly Court Realm with the Moon God.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Wu Hao said, “Brother Zhang is only at the early stage of the Heavenly Realm, and he was able to spar with Silent Sky Breaker… Is your physique a Perfection Physique, or is it a Supreme Perfection Physique?”
Zhang Ruochen stopped and stared at him.
Wu Hao revealed a smile and said, “I’m sorry, Mister Wu has taken the liberty! This is brother Zhang’s privacy, and it’s only right that he shouldn’t ask freely. Let’s go, coming to Tong Yu Sacred Realm is my territory, no matter what, I have to receive Brother Zhang’s welcome. This face, brother Zhang has to give me, right?”
Wu Hao was extremely intelligent, and Zhang Ruochen was somewhat unable to see through him.
Thus, it was not known whether Wu Hao was displaying all this, whether his own character was such a brash one, or whether he was scornful of the Divine Spirit Battle Weapon in his hands?
Of course, Wu Hao was the son of the realm, and Zhang Ruochen had to give him face no matter what, and thus, accompanied him to the reception banquet.
The guests that Wu Hao invited to the banquet were not only Zhang Ruochen, but also Su Qingling, Ling Mi, Wen Shusheng, Bu Pole, Silent Sky Breaker, and so on, a total of a hundred people, each of whom were the peak Saint realm powerhouses of the Broad Cold Realm, with Supreme Saints accounting for a large portion of them.
The wine they drank was the Six Saint Ascension Wine brewed by the Wine Crazy Man.
It was also during the wine banquet that Zhang Ruochen learnt that the original Wine Crazy Man and Ancient Songzi were staying in the Tongyi Sacred Realm.
The Lord of the Tong Yu Sacred Domain, on the other hand, was one of the three giants, Wu Zu.
It was because of Wu Zu’s full support that they were able to refine a large amount of Six Saint Ascension Wine and Sacred Transformation Pills in a short period of time.
After the wine had passed three rounds, Silent Skybreak stood up with an open heart, a pair of eyes filled with sharp light inside, and with a bang, he smashed the bronze wine cup on the ground and walked towards Zhang Ruochen, saying, “In the Broad Cold Divine Palace, I was not able to defeat you, and this is the greatest shame in my entire being. But, that was because of the suppression of divine Might, my battle power didn’t fully explode. Now, do you dare to fight me again? One-on-one, a fair match.”
Silent Skybreak had always been undefeated in a hundred battles in the same realm, and there were very few characters who could catch three of his strikes.
Thus, he regarded the battle at the Broad Cold Divine Palace as a strange shame.
Zhang Ruochen calmly sat on the edge of the table and said indifferently, “Why do I want to fight you?”
“You’re afraid that you’ll lose?”Silent Skybreak sneered.
Zhang Ruochen said, “In my life, I have lost countless times, so why would I still be afraid of losing? Only someone like you, who has never lost before, would be afraid and feel that defeat is a shame.”
Su Qingling, who was sitting beside Zhang Ruochen, stood up abruptly and shouted coldly, “Silent Sky Breaker, what madness are you? If you want to fight isn’t it, I’ll fight with you.”
“None of your business, this is a grudge between Zhang Ruochen and I. I just want to defeat him in a dignified manner and let him know my true strength.”
Within Silent Skybreak’s body, a huge holy power surged out, shaking the heaven and earth holy qi in the four directions violently.
At this moment, Wu Hao, who was sitting at the top position, slowly put down the bronze wine cup and said in a calm voice, “Silent Skybreak, apologise to the divine Envoy immediately.”
In an instant, the entire wine banquet became incredibly quiet.
Obviously, Wu Hao’s words had a great deterrent effect among the saints.
Silent Skybreak was indeed quite scornful of Wu Hao, saying, “I just wanted to challenge him, what’s wrong with that, why should I apologise to him?”
Wu Hao said, “Being disrespectful to a divine envoy and committing a crime from below, isn’t that a mistake? If you can’t even follow the rules and take you to participate in the Saint Merit Battle, isn’t it just adding to the chaos? Apologise, I’ll say it one last time.”
“What if, I don’t apologise?”
How proud a character was Silent Skybreak, even a tie with Zhang Ruochen was considered a great shame, how could he apologise and admit his mistake?
“Boom.”
A large handprint descended from the sky.
In the next moment, a large pit of handprints more than ten feet long appeared in the centre of the banquet, while Silent Skybreak was drenched in blood all over his body, sprawled at the bottom of the large pit, his body trembling unceasingly.
All the saints present, all of them sucked in a breath of cool air, staring towards Wu Hao who was sitting above.
Wu Hao still sat smoothly at the very top, withdrew his palms, and snorted lightly, ”Don’t think that just because you are the son of the Silent Emperor, the son of this realm doesn’t dare to clean you up. The merit war concerns the life and death of the entire Guanghan Realm, everyone must be united, whoever dares to deliberately stir up trouble like Silent Sky Breaker again, don’t blame this Realm Son for being impolite to him.”
Afterwards, Wu Hao raised his bronze wine cup and nodded specifically in Zhang Ruochen’s direction, saying, “Everyone continue drinking.”
Bu Ji sat on the other side of Zhang Ruochen, looking at Silent Sky Breaker, who was lying at the bottom of the palm imprinted large pit, and only felt his scalp numb as he transmitted his voice to Zhang Ruochen and Su Qingling, “Wu Hao is also damn strong! Casually striking a palm through the air, he knocked Silent Skybreak out of battle.”
Zhang Ruochen could see that Wu Hao’s strike was both an attempt to get closer to him, and at the same time, it also had the implication of deterring him in it.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t have any change in expression, he just picked up the bronze wine cup and took a sip.
Su Qingling asked curiously, “Have you really lost many times?”
“Is that strange?”Zhang Ruochen said.
Su Qingling laughed, gently biting her sexy red lips as she said, “You’re a Supreme Perfection Physique, shouldn’t you be invincible? Who else can defeat you?”
Zhang Ruochen revealed a smile and said, “Winning only shows that the enemies you encounter are still too weak. Only defeat shows that you have met a truly powerful opponent.”
“Of course, being able to fail is a good thing, it at least means that you are still alive and still have a chance to bounce back. However, when it comes to the battlefield of the Merit War, there is no victory or defeat there, only life and death.”
