Six thousand, three hundred and seventy-five thousand, five hundred and forty-three merit points.
It finally stopped and didn’t continue to rise.
And at this moment, the Guanghan Realm had already ranked third in the Saints’ Merit and Virtue Battle, only behind the Great Demon Ten Realms and the Eight Realms.
The Half-Saints of the Shadows’ Seven Realms all had their jaws dropped, feeling incredulous that Zhang Ruochen had redeemed more than 36 million points of merit value all by himself.
Of course, after they carefully analysed it, they felt normal.
One must know that Zhang Ruochen had killed a large number of Saints from the Blade Prison Realm and the Violet Mansion Realm, and snatched all the Rakshasa blood and remnant souls that they had collected.
Plus, when the Three Great Worlds and the Marquis of Rakshasa fought, Zhang Ruochen picked up the corpses on the side and also obtained a large amount of Rakshasa blood and remnant souls.
“A large portion of those merit values belonged to the Violet Mansion Realm, it’s really hateful, Zhang Ruochen should be cut into a thousand pieces.”
The Half-Saints of the Violet Mansion Realm were so enraged that their faces turned blue and they gnashed their teeth.
It was just as well that the merit value of the Violet Mansion Realm was taken away, but even the merit ranking was unexpectedly squeezed out by the Broad Cold Realm, sliding down to fourth.
The living beings of the Broad Cold Realm, however, rose up once again, all of them talking about Zhang Ruochen, admiring him to the core, and some of the overly-emotional cultivators even kneeled down to worship.
“Worthy of being a Divine Envoy, fighting the heavens and the earth alone, from now on, he is my idol.”
The Great Saints of the Moon God Mountain also revealed smiles, all of them felt that the Moon God’s vision was unique, and that this Zhang Ruochen was, indeed, a rather heaven-defying little fellow.
“As long as Zhang Ruochen guards the wall of the Book of Merits, the Guanghan Realm says that it won’t necessarily be able to contend for the first place in the Saint’s Merit Battle.”The Barbarian Sword Great Sage let out a loud laugh.
The first place in the Sage Merit Book.
Thinking about this, even the hearts of Great Saints gave birth to some waves.
Of course, there were some Great Saints, but they held a cautious attitude, feeling that the number of Saints in the Seven Worlds was huge and powerful, and it was simply impossible for Zhang Ruochen to guard the Book of Merits Wall.
By forcibly occupying the Book of Merits wall, Zhang Ruochen would most likely suffer a death calamity.
At that time, it would be a case of joy and sorrow.
On the banks of the Heavenly River, the Star of Merit.
Here, not only were there merit books and merit rankings for all the major worlds, but there were also some separate lists, such as, for example, the Saint’s Merit Ranking.
Right at this moment, on the Saint’s Merit Ranking, Zhang Ruochen’s name appeared, and behind the name, a series of numbers followed.
It was important to know that only Saints with a Merit Value of more than 10 million could enter the Ranking of Saints’ Merits.
Zhang Ruochen’s number of merit values, however, passed thirty million, directly rushing to the twenty-first position of the Saint’s Merit List.
This was a great achievement and honour!
Before this, only the Spirit Flame Demon Consort of the Shatuo Seven Realms had entered the Sage Merit Ranking, and moreover, it was ranked after the thousandth position.
Zhang Ruochen’s entry into the 《Saint Merit List》 had startled the topmost batch of Saint Realm Celestials in the Heavenly Court Realm, and even some of the top ranked great worlds had noticed this young Saint who had suddenly risen to prominence.
The twenty-first position on the Saint’s Merit List was not a light weight.
To be able to fight with the Rakshasa Princess was even more rare.
Originally, many cultivators thought that the Saints of the Shadrachian Seven Realms would definitely be wiped out, but Zhang Ruochen’s rise had given them a glimmer of hope.
……
…………
In the dense forest, the light emanating from the Wall of Merit and Virtue Book travelled far, allowing many Saints to see it, and then, they burst out with the fastest possible speed and rushed over.
Zhang Ruochen looked at the data on top of the Merit Book Wall and sighed softly, ”The Great Demon Ten Directions Realm is also too powerful, with more than 150 million Merit Values. It’s really not normally tough for the Guanghan Realm to take the first place in the Saint’s Merit Battle.”
Noticing that a Saint had arrived nearby, Zhang Ruochen immediately put away the Merit Book Wall and performed his Body Technique to hurriedly flee the area.
Zhang Ruochen hid inside an ancient maple tree, stirring up the power of the Buddha Emperor’s Buddha Bead to conceal his body’s aura.
“At this stage, the Saints of the Seven Worlds are all too mad and want to dismantle me. It’s better to hide for a while before going out to collect merit values.”
Zhang Ruochen took out the Fengbei Shield and pressed his finger on top of the space crystal stone, entering the inner space of the space crystal stone.
Immediately after, Zhang Ruochen took out a bottle of Condensing True Holy Dew and swallowed it into his mouth as he began to condense the rules of the Sacred Dao, impacting the late stage of the True Saint realm.
By the time Princess Rakshasa arrived at that dense forest, Zhang Ruochen had already left, and on the ground, there was only a large pile of empty treasure bottles left behind.
“Damnable fellow, escaping really fast, it seems that I can only use the strand of power that I left in his Spiritual Sacred Soul.”
Princess Rakshasa’s ten fingers, formed an ancient seal, a circular halo appeared, then, a dark red filament, flew out of the circular halo, rushed into the forest.
After a long time, those dark red filaments flew back.
“He actually showed that strand of power and refined it.”
The Rakshasa Princess was slightly stunned, then laughed again, “Interesting, the Heavenly Court Realm has finally cultivated a genius who is still somewhat capable, and is already qualified to fight with this princess.”
The ground in front of Princess Rakshasa suddenly tore apart, forming a three feet wide crack in the earth. A large amount of black baleful Qi surged out from the ground, causing all of the surrounding ancient maple trees to emit giggling noises, followed by the leaves becoming withered and falling down one after another.
Young Lord Spirit Quan was wearing a black thunderbolt holy armour as he walked out of the ground with a dragon’s stride, and that black baleful qi was surging out from him.
“Your Highness, Ling Quan has come to help you, give the order, this Young Monarch will now lead the Rakshasa army and exterminate the Saint of the Seven Worlds.”
Young Monarch Ling Quan clasped his hands and bowed to Princess Rakshasa.
Seeing Young Lord Ling Quan, the Rakshasa Princess was a bit of a headache.
Even if Zhang Ruochen was hateful, he was at least handsome and had a high face value, the type that the Rakshasa Princess liked. The men of the Rakshasa Clan were impossible to look at, and even though Young Lord Ling Quan was known as the beautiful man of the Rakshasa Clan, the Princess of the Rakshasa Clan still felt a bit of an appetite.
The Rakshasa Princess turned around, her eyes moving elsewhere, and said, “The fish haven’t all been in the net yet, it’s a little too early to close the net now.”
Young Lord Ling Quan thought for a moment and asked, “Where is that human brat?”
“You don’t need to be in charge of this matter, this princess will personally clean him up.”Princess Rakshasa said.
On Young Lord Ling Quan’s face, a look of sullen coldness appeared as he said, “Your Highness mustn’t be confused by his beauty, human men simply can’t be relied upon.”
Princess Rakshasa’s pair of small hands were behind her back, her eyes stared over with an icy coldness, saying, “How does this Princess do things, do I still need you to teach me?”
“Don’t dare.”
Princess Rakshasa hummed lightly and said, “Since you rushed over, go and do something for this princess. There is a Confucian cultivator in the Kunlun Realm who is in charge of the Confucian Ancestor Sacred Book, capture her and bring her to this Princess.”
“Don’t worry, Your Highness, a mere Confucian cultivator is just a piece of cake for me.”
Ling Quan Shaojun let out a laugh, then stole a glance at Princess Rakshasa, seeing that she was rather cold and solemn, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn’t continue to say anything more, and directly retreated, disappearing into the ground.
Princess Rakshasa exhaled a long breath and couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
……
…………
In the interior of the Space Crystal Stone, after cultivating for half a month in a row, and refining thousands of drops of Condensed True Sacred Dew, Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation finally reached the late stage of True Saint.
Continuing to cultivate.
Spending another whole month, Zhang Ruochen refined more than 10,000 drops of Condensed Truth Sacred Dew, and his cultivation impacted to the peak of True Sainthood in one fell swoop.
The Saint Dao rules in the Tongtian River became incomparably solid, as if it had turned into an iron thread, unbreakable. Zhang Ruochen only slightly mobilised the Saint Dao Rules, and deafening sounds of wind and thunder resounded within his body.
Mu Lingshi and Qing Mo, who were cultivating, were both awakened by the loud noise within Zhang Ruochen’s body and looked towards him in quite a shock.
“You broke through to the Supreme Saint realm?”Mu Lingshi asked.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “Peak True Saint.”
“Peak True Saint is that powerful?”
Qing Mo spat out her little tongue, feeling that Zhang Ruochen was so powerful that he was a bit perverted, and the aura that radiated out from him was not even the slightest bit weaker even when compared to a Saint King.
One had to know that Qing Mo’s cultivation had also reached the peak of True Saints, his physique wasn’t bad, and he had the God Eater Inheritance, but compared to Zhang Ruochen, he was still a hundred thousand miles away.
With the Condensed Truth Sacred Dew, both Qing Mo and Mu Lingshi’s cultivation had progressed very quickly, and even Mu Lingshi had now reached the early stage of True Sainthood.
Zhang Ruochen counted the time, there was only one last month left in the Sage Merit War, and now he had to step out of the Space-Time Crystal Stone to continue conquering and killing.
Zhang Ruochen also wanted to keep cultivating, and it would be best if he could break through to the Supreme Saint realm.
However, there was no way, he had come to the Ancestral Spirit Realm, not to cultivate, but to collect merit values.
The Guanghan Realm was still a long way from being number one on the Saint Merit Ranking.
“I’m also going out to collect merit values.”Qing Mo whispered.
“Alright.”
Zhang Ruochen stared deeply at her and noticed that her eyes were very determined, thus, he did not stop her.
Qing Mo’s appearance was soft and timid, yet, there were times when she was quite stubborn.
Afterwards, Zhang Ruochen said to Mu Lingshi again, “Lingshi, you should continue to raise your cultivation first, and when it’s time to head to the Phoenix Nest, I’ll pick you up and take you out.”
“Hmm.”
Mu Lingshi knew that with her current cultivation and strength, she indeed could not help Zhang Ruochen. In fact, the pressure in her heart was greater than anyone else’s, after all, the greater the gap in strength, the less she could do together, and the common language would become less and less.
Getting stronger, becoming even stronger, one had to catch up with Zhang Ruochen’s footsteps.
This time, seizing the inheritance of the Ice and Fire Phoenix was an opportunity, no matter what, she had to grasp it. Before that, she must endeavour to raise her cultivation realm.
Walking out of the spatial crystal and just returning to the interior of the Ancient Maple Tree, Zhang Ruochen and Qing Mo sensed a strong Evil Kraken Qi outside.
A large number of Rakshasa Marquises, gathered in the nearby dense forest.
A deep, thick voice rang out, “Wastes, all of you are wastes, letting you all go and capture a Confucian cultivator all wisps of failure, what’s the use of raising you?”
“Lord Seal Star Marquis, it’s not that we didn’t try our best, it’s really because, that Confucian Cultivator is followed by several powerful figures. Moreover, the Confucian Ancestor’s Holy Book in her hand radiates power that can also suppress the Evil Shakti Qi within us. Fighting against them, we are at quite a disadvantage.
