On Wen Shusheng’s forehead, a bean-sized bead of sweat emerged, his heart quite worried, “Zhang Ruochen dared to co-operate with the Spirit Flame Demon Princess, doesn’t he know that this is seeking the skin of a tiger, and that the slightest carelessness will lead to the end of all lives?”
Wu Hao, however, remained calm, a slight movement in his heart, “As long as the Broad Cold Realm and the Great Devil Ten Realms co-operate, it shouldn’t be difficult to seize the Wall of Merit Book.”
With that, he took this proposal and spoke it out.
In Wu Hao’s opinion, the Guanghan Realm and the Great Demon Ten Directions Realm were not competitors. After all, the Great Demon Ten Directions Realm was quite powerful, how could it not be at the bottom of the merit book war.
On the contrary, if the Guanghan Realm was able to hold onto the Great Demon Ten Directions Realm’s thigh, it would definitely be able to obtain endless benefits, and might be able to compete for the second place in the Saint’s Merit War.
“Wow…”
Right at this moment, a summoning light talisman flew from outside the Sacred Mountain and landed in Princess Rakshasa’s hands.
“Your Highness, this Young Sovereign has personally led ten First Class Marquises and has captured the Spirit Flame Demon Princess.”
The person who had sent the message was none other than Young Ruler Spirit Quan, who had just arrived at the Ancestral Spirit Realm.
“This nasty fellow, why did he come?”
Princess Rakshasa naturally knew that Young Lord Spirit Quan had come to offer his services, yet, she was also a little worried that he would disrupt her plans.
In the interior of the summoning light talisman, there was a pattern branding suspended, the very image of the Spirit Flame Demon Concubine, which appeared lifelike, like a soul shadow of the Spirit Flame Demon Concubine standing there.
Seeing that pattern branding, a crafty aura flashed through Princess Rakshasa’s eyes.
Zhang Ruochen glanced towards the Transmission Light Talisman in Princess Rakshasa’s hand and revealed a puzzled expression, “What happened?”
Princess Rakshasa’s jade finger pinched and said with a smiling face, “No, it’s just a suitor who was worried that this Princess would be abducted by the Divine Envoy of the Broad Cold Realm, and thus, sent a message to enquire about it. What a nosy fellow.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Someone else dares to pursue the Devil Emperor’s consort?”
“It can’t be helped, my consort’s charisma is too great, and there are always some unsuspecting fellows who pursue her like moths to a flame, giving one a headache.”
Princess Rakshasa crushed the transmission light talisman into powder and said, “Co-operate! This Princess will first go and give an explanation to those fellows from the Great Demon Ten Realms, lest they don’t even know their own people.”
With that, Princess Rakshasa stepped out of the spatial maze and walked towards the Great Demon Ten Directions Realm’s saint army camp.
With each step, her figure, appearance, and aura changed, and she finally became identical to the Spirit Flame Demon Princess.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed, “She’s actually changing, and her methods don’t seem to be below the Formless and Phaseless Thirty-Six Changes.”
Being able to co-operate with the Great Demon Ten Realms, Wu Hao was in a great mood and laughed, “It’s quite normal, being a Realm Son of a Great World will definitely become the most targeted target of the Hell Realms, most of them will hide their identities and change their appearances to maximise their protection.”
“The Divine Envoy is really powerful, he can actually get on the Spirit Flame Demon Princess’s line, it seems that this Saint Merit Battle, the Guanghan Realm has a chance to enter the top three.”
Zhang Ruochen was still a little uneasy, staring closely at Princess Rakshasa’s every move.
Only to see that when Princess Rakshasa walked into the camp of the Great Demon Ten Directions Realm, she took off her mask, and then even took out a black token.
The saints of the Great Devil Ten Realms all saluted her in unison.
Seeing Princess Rakshasa’s methods, the cultivators of the Heavenly Court Realm all fell silent.
On the Moon God Mountain, the Nine Spirits Great Sage let out a long sigh, “The Rakshasa Princess should be cultivating the Thousand Faces Technique of the Rakshasa Clan, and none of the saints of the Great Demon Ten Directions Realm were even able to recognise her true face.”
“Princess Rakshasa’s spiritual power is clearly at the level of a Saint King. Even if she didn’t cultivate the Thousand Faces Technique, it wouldn’t be easy for a group of Saints to recognise her disguise.”The Silent Emperor said.
Wu Zu said, “Even the Great Demon Ten Realms have fallen under her control, this Saint Merit War, let’s just end it straight away, there’s no need for it to continue. Those Saints of the Shatuo Seven Realms are simply no match for Princess Rakshasa, if the fight continues, I’m afraid that the Saints of the Seven Worlds will all be wiped out.”
The Nine Spirits Great Sage said, “We have no way to interrupt the Saint Merit War, we can only wait for God’s instructions.”
“It’s impossible for God not to know that a large number of Rakshasa Marquises have entered the Ancestral Spirit Realm, but unfortunately, God has not sent down an oracle. Could it be that they want to pit all the Saints of the Shadrachian Seven Realms against each other?”
The atmosphere of the Moon God Mountain became somewhat heavy.
A Demon Emperor of the Great Mo Ten Realms, sitting in a dark gold temple, roared out in a deep voice, “Damn Luo Sa, he even used the Drifting Void Demon Emperor’s token to fool the saints of the Great Mo Ten Realms.”
Seventeen years ago, the Drifting Void Demon Emperor died in battle in the starry sky near the Ancestral Spirit Realm, and his Demon Emperor’s token fell into the hands of Princess Rakshasa.
Holding the Drifting Void Demon Emperor’s token, coupled with Princess Rakshasa’s various means, there were almost no saints that could recognise her identity.
The great saints of the Shatuo Seven Realms didn’t want to sit around and wait for death, and rushed to the Temple of Merits and Virtues to pay homage to the gods, hoping to temporarily end the Saints’ Merits and Virtues War, and allow the saints of the Shatuo Seven Realms to withdraw from the Ancestral Spirit Realm first.
“The Sage Merit War must continue, otherwise, all of the Shatuo Seven Realms will be turned into battlefields.”The gods of the Merit and Virtue Divine Hall replied to them in this manner.
The gods of the Shatuo Seven Realms were all participating in the Sacred Merit War and weren’t in the Celestial Court Realm, so naturally, they didn’t know about the situation in the Ancestral Spirit Realm.
Thus, the Great Saints of the Shatuo Seven Realms, even though they knew that the Saints of their own realms were likely to be wiped out, had no way of stopping it at all, and could only continue to watch the situation deteriorate step by step.
Princess Rakshasa took on the appearance of the Spirit Flame Demon Concubine and returned to the Spatial Maze, smiling, ”This Concubine has already made a deal with them, and the Great Demon Ten Realms and the Broad Cold Realm have officially begun to co-operate. As long as you crack the Time Formation and Space Formation in the Sacred Mountain, our two realms will occupy the Book of Merits wall together.”
Upon receiving this news, even Wen Shusheng, who was somewhat defensive towards the Rakshasa Princess, revealed a joyful expression.
This time, in the Sage Merit Battle, the Guanghan Realm was afraid that it was going to win big.
Zhang Ruochen walked out of the Spatial Maze and travelled towards the Sacred Mountain.
In the Sacred Mountain, there was a spatial imprint spread out, some suspended in mid-air, some sunk into the ground, arranged in a rather subtle manner.
Each of the time imprints was like a grain of light, and when they were connected together, they instantly changed the rules of time in this area.
Zhang Ruochen did not immediately break the formation, but was observing those time seals, secretly comprehending them.
“As long as I can carve out the same time seals, I’m afraid that a single seal striking out will be able to chop away ten years of the enemy’s lifespan.”
On top of the Secret Code of Time and Space, there were similar time imprints, and Zhang Ruochen referred to the two, corroborating each other, completely immersed.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen entered a metaphysical and mysterious realm, where all the surrounding scenes disappeared, leaving only a single time imprint suspended in the void.
The time imprints were everywhere, and they were still flowing fast in a single direction, as if they were a long river.
Zhang Ruochen stood in the middle of the long river of time and stretched out a finger, drawing a pattern as he began to carve time imprints that could speed up the flow of time.
Time imprints were originally created by the heavens and earth, and for a Time Cultivator to carve out a time imprint was obviously an incomparably difficult task.
Failure.
Failure.
……
After carving it five hundred and sixty-eight times in a row, Zhang Ruochen also ended in failure.
However, he didn’t give up and continued to comprehend and study, before carving in the void once again.
In the eyes of the Saints of the Seven Worlds, Zhang Ruochen’s behaviour was quite bizarre, using his fingers to draw circles all the time, appearing somewhat childish. It was fortunate that Zhang Ruochen was facing towards the Sacred Mountain and not towards them, otherwise, they would have definitely thought that it was a provocation.
The injuries of the East Stream Sword Venerable and Fang B were healed, and they regained their peak state.
“The Broad Cold Realm and the Great Demon Ten Directions Realm have allied to become the largest force in the Ancestral Spirit Realm.”Fang Yi said.
Eastern Stream Sword Venerable said, “Even if the Broad Cold Realm and the Great Devil Ten Square Realm join forces, they cannot possibly be a match for the other five realms. It won’t be an easy task for them to dominate the Wall of Merit Books.”
Three days later.
Zhang Ruochen stood still, still drawing circles.
However, the Saints of the Shatuo Seven Realms had already lost their patience.
“Let’s first go to the depths of the ninety-nine holy mountains to seize the Phoenix Nest, there must be a huge chance there, it’s not certain that it will be able to further our strength.”
Fang Yi and the East Stream Sword Sovereign had both lost to the Rakshasa Princess, thus, the obsession in their hearts was very deep, and naturally, they wanted to seize the inheritance of the Ice and Fire Phoenix to further their strength.
As if there was a tacit understanding, the seven realms of Shatuo had sent out a small group of elites towards the depths of the ninety-nine holy mountains.
Of course, more saints, remained at the bottom of the holy mountains, not only to compete for the wall of merit books, but also to fight against the Rakshasa Clan.
Five more days passed, and finally, there was progress.
Zhang Ruochen’s fingers, as he drew the circle, his fingertips radiated eye-catching light, appearing particularly blinding.
“Success!”
A long laugh came out of Zhang Ruochen’s mouth.
Immediately after, Zhang Ruochen inscribed a dozen more time seals in a row and mastered them proficiently before he nodded in satisfaction.
“Having mastered the Time Addition’s Seal, one can chop away the enemy’s lifespan. If one masters the Seal of Time Slowing, wouldn’t one be able to refine temporal treasures?”
Zhang Ruochen secretly resolved that when the Merit Battle was over, he must spend more time studying the Time Seal.
Suddenly, he sensed something and looked into the distance, realising that the number of Saints under the Sacred Mountain had actually increased by several times.
The saints from the Broad Cold Realm alone were over ten thousand.
The Saint Masters from the Great Demon Ten Realms were even more than 50,000, making a rather loud noise.
The more Saints that rushed to the Phoenix Nest, the stronger the sense of crisis in Zhang Ruochen’s heart became.
However, with his own strength, there was obviously no way to change the big picture, so he could only endeavour to raise his strength. With every point of strength, there was only one more point of initiative in the ensuing fight.
“In the past few days, I cultivated the Time Seal while refining the Condensed Truth Sacred Dew, and my cultivation has risen a bit more, so I should be able to reach the late stage of True Sainthood soon.”
Zhang Ruochen had made projections, and only when he reached the late True Saint stage, he would be able to compete with the “Spirit Flame Demon Princess” in terms of strength.
However, Zhang Ruochen had always felt that the “Spirit Flame Demon Concubine” still had hidden means, and neither he, nor Fang Yi, nor the East Stream Sword Sovereign had forced her to use her strongest power.
This woman’s strength was unfathomable.
Therefore, the late True Saint stage was only Zhang Ruochen’s short-term goal, and if he wanted to truly restrain the “Spirit Flame Demon Concubine”, he would have to attack the peak of the True Saint or even the Supreme Saint realm.
Without further thought, Zhang Ruochen took out the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, performed the Twelve Hours Sword Technique, and began to go all out to attack the Time Grand Formation.
“Rumble.”
Shattering one of the time seals, Zhang Ruochen took large strides towards the top of the mountain.
