While Zhang Ruochen was cracking the Time Formation and Space Formation, every day, a large number of Saint Persons from the Shatuo Seven Realms came to the Giant Whale River Basin.
Below the holy mountain where the Book of Merits wall was located, the number of armies of saints gathered was increasing.
Spending ten whole days, Zhang Ruochen cracked a large number of time seals and spatial inscriptions, and was only tens of feet away from the top of the mountain.
During these ten days, Zhang Ruochen refined another 5,000 drops of Condensed True Sacred Dew, and was only one step away from the late stage of True Sainthood.
Below the Sacred Mountain, however, it was already beginning to stir, and the Saint Saints of the Seven Worlds seemed as if they were about to attack and kill their way up to the top of the mountain at any moment.
The Rakshasa Princess’s heart secretly laughed, thinking that this was an opportunity to weaken the seven worlds of Shatuo, letting them fight amongst themselves, and then, in the end, the Rakshasa Clan’s armies would exterminate them all.
Zhang Ruochen naturally also noticed the Saints of the Seven Worlds, and now that they were already a bit impatient, once the Time Formation and Space Formation were completely cracked, a bloody battle was inevitable.
However, the Rakshasa Clan’s Marquis army, which was stationed just to the south of the Sacred Mountain, would be able to rush over in a matter of moments.
“The leaders of the seven worlds, I’m afraid they’re also having a headache. Not contending means that the Wall of Merit Book will be taken away by other worlds. Contending means that there is a possibility of a sneak attack from the Rakshasa Clan.”Zhang Ruochen secretly said.
Zhang Ruochen stopped and used his spiritual power to send out a message to Su Qingling and Buji, “The two of you, immediately return to the camp of the Guanghan Realm’s Saints’ army.”
Princess Rakshasa, who was following Zhang Ruochen, intercepted Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual energy and was analysing Zhang Ruochen’s intentions when she noticed a slight tremor in space.
Zhang Ruochen’s figure disappeared from its original spot.
In the next moment, Zhang Ruochen rushed inside the Time Formation that had not been completely cracked, and his figure flashed four times in a row before arriving at the bottom of the Book of Merits wall.
Princess Rakshasa guessed Zhang Ruochen’s intention, and in her eyes, a sharp light surged out, “This guy ……”
The wall of the Book of Merits wall, which was 33 feet tall, was crystal clear, as if it was carved from holy jade, yet it contained a mysterious power that connected it to the rules of heaven and earth.
Great Demon Ten Sectors Realm.
The Eight Sectors Realm.
Purple Mansion Realm.
The Blade Prison Realm.
Tianmu Realm.
Kunlun Realm.
Guanghan Realm.
The seven worlds were arranged from top to bottom, and at the back of each world, there were numbers representing merit values. The Great Demon Tenfold Realm had the most merit values, and the Guanghan Realm had the least.
The four merit book walls of the Ancestral Spirit Realm were not independent of each other, but, rather, had a strong connection.
After redeeming a merit value in the West World’s merit book wall, the data and rankings would also appear above the other three merit book walls.
Of course, the other three Merit Book Walls had all been destroyed, and now there was only this one that could be exchanged for Merit Values.
Zhang Ruochen’s hands grasped the Book of Merits wall, and a loud roar came out of his mouth as a powerful force exploded out of his body, forming a vortex of qi energy.
“Rise.”
The Book of Merits Wall was slowly lifted by Zhang Ruochen, who then loaded it into the spatial ring.
Zhang Ruochen once again used the means of Spatial Shift to rush out of the Time Formation and stood at the mountainside position of the Sacred Mountain, moving out of the Spatial Grand Shift and disappearing into place.
The Saint Elders of the Seven Worlds were all slightly stunned, and by the time they reflected, Zhang Ruochen had already collected the Wall of Merit Book.
“What’s the situation? The Time Formation hasn’t even been fully cracked yet, and Zhang Ruochen took the first step to take away the Book of Merits Wall?”
“Could it be that Zhang Ruochen is trying to monopolise the Merit Book Wall?”
“Zhang Ruochen has gone to the depths of the ninety-nine holy mountains, quickly chase after him and make sure to take back the Book of Merits Wall.”
“Kill Zhang Ruochen, this Saint has long looked at him with displeasure.”
……
Even Wu Hao and Wen Shusheng from the Broad Cold Realm revealed a strange expression. Wasn’t it already agreed with the Spirit Flame Demon Princess that the two worlds would co-operate and jointly own the Book of Merits wall?
What exactly did Zhang Ruochen mean by doing this.
Did he think that with the strength of the Guanghan Realm alone, he would be able to defend the Book of Merits Wall?
Zhang Ruochen had already fled, and there was no way around it, so Wu Hao and Wen Shusheng could only lead the saints of the Broad Cold Realm to chase after him stiffly, trying to meet up with him as soon as possible.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t move too far before he was intercepted by a spatial force in the ninety-nine holy mountains and fell to the ground.
He had already left the holy mountain where the Book of Merits wall was located and entered a very primitive dense forest, surrounded by ancient maple trees as hard as iron, with trunks thicker than a millstone.
Opening his Heavenly Eyes, Zhang Ruochen saw that there were actually spatial inscriptions spread out in the forest, some engraved on top of the ancient maple trees, and some engraved on top of the rocks in the ground.
It was actually a misplaced spatial zone.
“I’m afraid that I need to pass through this dense forest to reach the deepest thirty-three holy mountains.”Zhang Ruochen secretly analysed.
Suddenly, a spatial fluctuation appeared behind him.
Immediately after, Princess Rakshasa’s seductive figure was revealed, roughly only about twenty feet away from Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed as the silhouette of a luan and phoenix surfaced on his legs, bursting out in a rush as he rushed towards the depths of the dense forest.
Princess Rakshasa was slightly stunned and immediately turned into a green shadow to chase after her, chirping, ”Zhang Ruochen, we are allies, why are you hiding from me? Are you still worried that this Princess will seize the Wall of Merit Book?”
“It’s not that there isn’t this possibility.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Princess Rakshasa had no interest in the Wall of Merit Book at all, yet she couldn’t show it, so she was angry and hateful in her heart.
Originally, she had planned to borrow the battle for the Merit Book Wall to weaken the power of the seven worlds. However, Zhang Ruochen had seen this, and did not hesitate to deplete his own lifespan to take away the Wall of Merit alone, disrupting her plans.
Now, Zhang Ruochen had even started to guard against her in order to monopolise the Wall of Merit Book.
The Rakshasa Princess, however, wanted to use Zhang Ruochen to help her break through the final section of the path into the Phoenix Nest, so it was naturally impossible for her to let him go, not to mention that she did not want to come to an antagonistic stand with Zhang Ruochen right now.
“With your strength alone, it’s impossible to defend the Merit Book Wall, cooperate with our Great Demon Ten Realms, and this Princess will guarantee that Guanghan Realm will become the second in the Saints’ Merit Battle. How?”Princess Rakshasa said.
If there was no instruction from the Moon God, Zhang Ruochen was afraid that he would really co-operate with Princess Rakshasa, after all, with the strength of the Guanghan Realm, being able to take the second place in the Saints’ Merit Battle was already quite remarkable.
However, Zhang Ruochen’s mission was to be the first in the Sage Merit Battle.
“I’m sorry, Demon Princess, our cooperation ends here.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Princess Rakshasa’s eyebrows twisted, and her heart became even more furious.
Ever since she was a child, she was the only one who had teased others in the palm of her hand, and it was the first time someone had teased her.
“What conditions you want, just mention them, don’t leave me behind.”
Princess Rakshasa’s pathetic statement, that kind of appearance, if let outsiders see, also thought it was an infatuated woman chasing after a negative man.
“Demon Princess mustn’t say that, in case outsiders hear it, they would think that there is some special relationship between us.”
“Could it be that there isn’t?”
“Lol.”
Zhang Ruochen had seen how powerful the Rakshasa Princess was, and before, it was fine, he didn’t have anything in his possession that she could see eye to eye with, so he could naturally co-operate with her.
Now was different.
The Wall of Merit Book was too important to be lost, and if he continued to co-operate with the Rakshasa Princess, in case she made a sneak attack, Zhang Ruochen was not at all sure that he could keep the Wall of Merit Book.
Previously, Zhang Ruochen’s degree was indeed inferior to the Rakshasa Princess.
But now, Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation had progressed greatly, and his degree was already similar to that of the Rakshasa Princess.
In this dense forest, there were a large number of spatial inscriptions distributed, and the spatial structure was quite chaotic, so it was as difficult as heaven to catch up with a person. Zhang Ruochen spent half an hour before he completely lost the Rakshasa Princess.
“The Spirit Flame Demon Princess is really a difficult character to deal with, the gap between those other Realms compared to her is not normally large.”
Suddenly, a sense of weakness emanated from the depths of his body.
This was the side effect of a massive loss of longevity.
In order to collect the Merit Book Wall in advance, Zhang Ruochen had lost close to a hundred years of longevity inside the Time Formation, paying a great price.
Zhang Ruochen took out a Sacred Pill and refined it into a liquid droplet before swallowing it into his mouth.
Immediately after, Zhang Ruochen’s body was wrapped in holy light, and that feeling of weakness gradually news, and his essence and strength recovered.
From inside his spatial ring, he took out the Wall of Merit Book, and Zhang Ruochen carefully observed the merit value on it.
Great Demon Ten Directions Realm: one hundred and fifty-four million, four hundred and sixty-three thousand, five hundred points of merit and virtue value.
Eight Divisions Realm: eight thousand four hundred and seventy-three million five hundred and forty-two points of merit and virtue value.
……
Kunlun Realm: two thousand nine hundred and seventy-four million seven hundred and three hundred points of merit and virtue value.
Guanghan Realm: twenty-seven million, seven hundred and fifty-five thousand, three hundred and thirty points of merit and virtue value.
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, ”A whole month’s time to collect such a small amount of merit value? It should be that many Saints haven’t found the Merit Book Wall, holding the Rakshasa blood and remnants of their souls, but are too late to exchange them for Merit Values.”
“The Kunlun Realm is somewhat impressive, the number of Saints is only half that of the Guanghan Realm, yet the merit value surpasses the Guanghan Realm.”
However, after thinking about it carefully, Zhang Ruochen felt that it was normal.
The Kunlun Realm still had many powerful characters whose strength was comparable to that of a half-step Saint King, and were even able to contend with Realm Son level characters, such as Wan Zhaoyi, Chu Siyuan, and the Nine Spectre Sword Saint ……
“Let’s first exchange the Rakshasa blood and remnant souls for merit value.”
Without further thought, Zhang Ruochen took out all the treasure bottles containing the Rakshasa Blood and Rakshasa Remnant Soul.
“Wow…”
The Wall of Merit Book sensed the aura of the Rakshasa Blood and Rakshasa Remnant Soul and immediately bloomed with a piercing holy light, wrapping all the treasure bottles, all of them, inside.
The blood and remnant souls in the treasure bottles flew into the wall in a steady stream.
The merit value of the Guanghan Realm began to rise like crazy, quickly passing thirty million and rushing towards forty million.
One had to know that even the weakest Ninth Grade Rakshasa Marquis could exchange a thousand points of merit value. The most powerful First Class Rakshasa Marquis was even able to exchange one hundred thousand merit values.
The blood of the Rakshasa Marquis that Zhang Ruochen had collected was over three thousand drops.
The residual souls of the Rakshasa Marquis that were collected also exceeded three thousand strands.
On top of that, there were also a large number of blood and remnant souls of Rakshasa Earls and Viscounts, so when calculated, the amount of Merit Value was definitely quite terrifying.
Zhang Ruochen snatching the wall of Merit Books all by himself also caused a huge stir in the Heavenly Court Realm.
“Is that Divine Envoy of the Broad Cold Realm crazy? With just one person like him, can he guard the Book of Merits Wall without being blasted into slag?”
“Even if we add the entire Saint of the Broad Cold Realm, it’s still impossible to keep the Book of Merits wall.”
“Look guys, the merit value of the Broad Cold Realm is starting to rise like crazy, it’s already passed fifty million, and from last place, it’s rushed to fourth. And …… it’s still continuing to go up.”
The seven realms of Shatuo all had a wall of merit books erected, which could display the number and ranking of the merit values of the seven worlds in real time.
At this moment, the bottom of the seven merit book walls were surrounded by a sea of people, not just the half saints of the seven worlds, but even some of the great saints of the seven worlds had gathered around.
There was no way around it, the merit value of the Guanghan Realm had risen too wickedly!
