The great battle between the three worlds and the Rakshasa Clan had startled the Saint realm beings in the entire Giant Whale River Basin.
The saints of the other four worlds in the Shatuo Heavenly Domain were all amazed and quite curious as to how exactly Fang Yi, the Eastern Stream Sword Exalted, Wan Zhaoyi, and the others had managed to pass through the blockade of the Rakshasa Clan and arrive at the bottom of the holy mountain where the Book of Merits wall was located.
“There must be another path.”
“When we find that path, we’ll have to fight for it as well, how can we not let them take the Book of Merits wall away.”
……
…………
The more than 2,000 Saints of the Kunlun Realm were all hiding on the eastern bank of the Giant Whale River, temporarily commanded by the Ten Great Sacred Realm experts such as the Heavenly King of the Qingxiao, the King of the Eastern Domain Chen Yin, the Emperor of Bai Li …… and so on, and even though they were from different races, their strengths were all quite formidable.
The Heavenly King of Qing Xiao received the Sacred Book Talented Lady’s summoning light talisman, and then, leading the army of saints, he rushed out of the concealment formation and rushed towards the ninety-nine holy mountains with a great momentum.
“By order of the two Sector Sons, all the Saints will go forward together to the thirty-fifth Sacred Mountain to decapitate the Marquis of Rakshasa and seize the Wall of Merit Book.”
The eight thousand Saints from the Blade Prison Realm and the Violet Mansion Realm appeared on the horizon, a layer of holy aura shrouding each Saints’ body, radiating a shocking fluctuation of the holy dao, as if heavenly warriors had descended from the heavens.
However, the armies of Saints from the Kunlun Realm, the Blade Prison Realm, and the Violet Mansion Realm had just rushed to the bottom of the Ninth Sacred Mountain, when the earth tore open a gap hundreds of miles long, as if a giant had opened its mouth.
Dense Evil Rakshasa Qi gushed out from the crack, which was dark red in colour, causing thousands of miles in every direction to become dimly lit.
A huge number of Rakshasa armies rushed out from the ground, hissing sounds coming out of their mouths as they attacked the three worlds’ Saint armies.
“Not good, there’s an ambush.”
“There’s a large number of Rakshasa Marquises hidden underground, we surprisingly didn’t notice anything before.”
A great battle at the Saint level was imminent, and in an instant, the two torrents collided together, a deafening roar emanating out, and soon, scarlet Saint blood spilled all over the earth, the smell of blood spreading in the air.
The battle was, quite tragic.
Saints were at the top tier of powerhouses in any great world, but, here, they were instantly beaten to the point where blood and flesh flew everywhere, and their Saint Bones were crushed into pieces.
Zhang Ruochen stood up boldly and looked out at the battlefield outside the Sacred Mountain, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, “Just how many Rakshasa Clan Marquis armies are hiding underground?”
Su Qingling’s pretty face, completely taut, said, “The Rakshasa Clan is originally good at hiding, moreover, they are naturally proficient in the art of hiding. Therefore, many times, they would march underground to hide their faces.”
Zhang Ruochen developed a bad feeling, always feeling that the Phoenix Nest was a bait, and that the Rakshasa Clan seemed to want to exterminate all the Saints of the Shatuo Seven Realms, all of them.
Su Qingling asked, “Should we notify the Saints of the Guanghan Realm so that they can rush here?”?”Rush over for what? The time seals and spatial inscriptions in the Sacred Mountain haven’t been broken yet, so even if more Saints rush over, they will still die. You send a message to them, telling them to hide their forms and not to act rashly, so that they won’t be discovered by the Rakshasa Clan. When there is a genuine need for them to make a move, this God-Emperor will naturally inform them.”
Up until now, Zhang Ruochen did not fully see the situation, and rather than acting recklessly, it was better to stay still for now and respond to all changes with no change.
Although the Three Great Worlds’ army of Saints had encountered interception, however, there were still some Saints who had killed their way out of the siege and rushed to the bottom of this Sacred Mountain where the Book of Merits Wall was located, to meet up with Fang Yi, Dongliu Sword Sovereign, Wan Zhaoyi, and the others.
The number of Saints from the three worlds was increasing, and they were finally able to withstand the Rakshasa Marquis’ army’s attack, no longer just retreating and defending, but also organising wave after wave of counter-attacks.
Zhang Ruochen stood in the Spatial Maze Formation and grabbed his hands into the void, taking a piece of the corpse on the ground through the air and bringing it to the interior of the formation.
There were more than thirty corpses in total, some of which were Rakshasa Marquises, and some of which were Saints from the three worlds.
First, Zhang Ruochen took out a drop of blood from each of the Rakshasa Marquis’ corpses. Afterwards, he took out all of their storage bags and collected a large amount of treasures.
“Sacred Eating Flower, continue to absorb the nutrients and enhance your cultivation.”
“Many thanks, master.”
The Sacred Eating Flower was incomparably excited and immediately rushed out from Zhang Ruochen’s body, extending dense roots that pierced into the brow centres of the thirty or so Sacred Corpses on the ground and absorbed them.
Its cultivation level, which had already reached the early stages of the Supreme Saint, would become even stronger as long as it continued to absorb the holy power and holy blood of the holy corpses.
Even a breakthrough to the Saint King realm was not impossible.
The Saint Armies of the three worlds were fighting quite fiercely with the Marquis of Rakshasa, where would they have time to collect the remnants of the souls and blood, which naturally made it cheaper for Zhang Ruochen.
Once Zhang Ruochen had collected the blood, he handed over the corpse of the Marquis of Rakshasa to the Sacred Eater Flower for absorption.
After Zhang Ruochen collected a strand of residual soul, he broke all the other residual souls of the Marquis of Rakshasa, never leaving them the chance to continue collecting.
On top of that, Zhang Ruochen collected a large number of treasure bottles containing Rakshasa blood and residual souls, as well as holy artefacts, pills, talismans …… and so on from the corpses of the three great world saints.
Gradually, the saints of the three great worlds, sensed this.
They fought with the Rakshasa Marquis army and suffered countless casualties, and in the end, it was actually cheaper for a bystander, and many Saints were so furious that they spat out blood, cursing Zhang Ruochen in their hearts for being despicable.
What made them even more speechless was that the Marquis of Rakshasa’s army just stared at them, not attacking Zhang Ruochen at all.
“How can it be that easy to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?”
A Dao-robed woman in her thirties from the Violet Mansion Realm, who was quite good-looking and whose cultivation had reached the Supreme Sage Realm, had a face that was a little white with anger, so she led a group of Rakshasa Marquises and rushed towards Zhang Ruochen’s location.
Zhang Ruochen said, “I’m warning you, it’s best not to come any closer, I don’t want to get involved in your fight, I just want to cultivate in peace.”
“Cultivate your arse.”
Many Saints cursed Zhang Ruochen in their hearts, feeling that he was too shameless, clearly sitting on his hands and reaping the benefits, yet claiming that he didn’t want to participate in the battle.
This kind of person should be hung up and beaten!
“How can all the good things be taken up by you? It’s impossible to stay out of it.”The dao-robed woman said in a deep voice.
Zhang Ruochen took out the Green Sky Bow and White Sun Arrow and pulled the longbow into a full moon, aiming it at the dao-robed woman, saying, “Don’t ever push me, I really don’t want to join your fight with the Rakshasa Clan, if you continue to come closer, I’ll take it as if you’re trying to snatch the treasures that are on my body, and I’ll only be able to shoot you to death.”
The Blue Sky Bow and White Sun Arrow were both quite powerful battle weapons, and after aiming them at the Dao-robed woman, they indeed caused the Dao-robed woman’s face to change slightly, and her entire body felt as if it was shrouded by the aura of death.
Just as the dao-robed woman wanted to retreat, the East Stream Swordfather rushed up from the rear and shouted, “There is no need to fear him, continue to kill up.”
Seeing the East Stream Swordfather rushing up, the dao-robed woman’s confidence immediately increased, her hands simultaneously pressed towards the front, and a circular light seal with a diameter of tens of zhang was instantly revealed, with a single dao pattern that flowed on top of the light seal.
“Swish swish.”
A sharp pillar of ice flew out from the circular light seal like rain towards Zhang Ruochen.
“Since, you guys have to cross me, I don’t have to be polite with you anymore.”
“Boom!”
Zhang Ruochen shot out an arrow, and the White Sun Arrow exploded with a hundred times the sound, shattering the circular light seal and rushing towards the Dao-robed woman’s brow.
On the Dao-robed woman’s body, seventeen protective talismans were activated, radiating seventeen layers of bright light.
“Boom boom.”
All seventeen Body Protecting Talismans burst into pieces, and the Dao-robed woman was thrown backward like a scarecrow.
Zhang Ruochen grabbed a Broken Gold Arrow, and in a flash, the second arrow was already shot out.
“Pfft.”
The Dao-robed woman’s holy body was pierced through by the golden arrow, leaving a bowl-thick bloody hole where her abdomen was.
Moreover, there was a faint layer of golden aura that covered the wound, making it impossible to heal, and the holy blood flowed outwards like a stream.
Soon, the Dao-robed woman collapsed on the ground, lifeless.
The icicles that flew towards Zhang Ruochen entered the range of the Spatial Maze, and the direction of their flight was immediately shifted, falling to the ground.
Zhang Ruochen stared at the Dongliu Sword Sovereign who was charging up and said to the Rakshasa Princess, “This is a rather formidable powerhouse, I’ll leave it to you!”
“This person, named Ning Dongliu, is a Realm Son of the Violet Mansion Realm, and his strength should not be underestimated. Such a powerful person, why should this princess be allowed to deal with it, what are you doing?”
Princess Rakshasa was a little displeased, feeling that Zhang Ruochen was using her.
“Of course I’m going to continue seizing the corpses on the battlefield, collecting the Rakshasa blood and remnants of souls, as well as the treasures on the corpses. These dirty jobs, with the Demon Concubine’s honourable status, could it be that she would do them?”Zhang Ruochen said.
Naturally, the Rakshasa Princess would not do such things, how proud, noble, and elegant was the Rakshasa Princess, how could she collect the blood and remnant souls from the corpses of the Rakshasa Marquises? Let those heavenly daughters of the princes and nobles of the Rakshasa Clan see it above the battlefield mirrors, and they wouldn’t die of laughter.
It was too humiliating!
However, if they didn’t go and collect the Rakshasa blood and remnant souls, they would definitely arouse Zhang Ruochen’s suspicion.
“Alright, this Concubine will go deal with Ning Dongliu, and we’ll split the Rakshasa blood and remnant souls you collect. How?”The Rakshasa Princess said.
“Of course no problem.”Zhang Ruochen said.
The Rakshasa Princess rushed out of the Spatial Maze and met the Eaststream Swordfather.
Both of them were top powerhouses in the Saint realm, and as soon as they exchanged blows, they exploded into a stone-breaking roar, and countless sword qi flew out, filling the heavens and earth.
Zhang Ruochen secretly observed the battle between the East Stream Sword Sovereign and the Rakshasa Princess, and gently nodded his head, “What a profound attainment in the Dao of the Sword, already on the verge of cultivating Sword Eight to the Great Perfection, right?”
Zhang Ruochen withdrew his gaze, and then, he continued to use the means of taking things out of space, dragging the corpses on the battlefield into the Spatial Maze in a steady stream.
Rakshasa blood, Rakshasa remnant souls, Congealed Truth Saint Liquid, Saint Artifacts, Saint Pills, and some other rare and strange treasures, Zhang Ruochen collected a whole bunch of them.
The saints who were fighting to the death in a bloody battle were all quite red-eyed.
Obviously, they were the ones who were fighting for their lives, so why were all the benefits obtained by Zhang Ruochen in the end?
Was there any justice in heaven?
Those powerhouses from the Heavenly Court Realm, who saw this scene through the battlefield mirrors, were all stunned and didn’t know what to say about Zhang Ruochen.
This was simply a blatant forcible seizure, shameless, truly shameless to the extreme.
“To deal with the Rakshasa Clan, everyone in the Heavenly Court Realm’s cultivators have a responsibility, that Divine Envoy of the Guanghan Realm, does he still want to be shameless? How can you just focus on collecting merits for yourself while others are fighting to the death?”
Some of the great saints from the Blade Prison Realm and the Violet Mansion Realm were also so infuriated that their heads were smoking.
“Zhang Ruochen had better not return to the Celestial Court Realm alive, otherwise, this Monarch will definitely break every bone in his body.”
“This Saint Merit Battle, it simply cannot be watched any longer, the Great Saints will all be infuriated.”
