“Senior Brother’s matter is my, Blood Slaughter’s, matter.”
Immediately, Blood Slaughter changes the subject and says: “But regarding Qi Tian’s matter, I truly cannot help. He is imprisoned by Master, whoever dares to intervene in this will die a very ugly death.”
“It is not this matter.” Zhang Ruochen says.
Blood Slaughter’s heart relaxes, he straightens his back and says: “Since it is not this matter, let alone one, ten or a hundred are also things I will not hesitate to do.”
Then, Zhang Ruochen explains the matter of collecting the Ten Realms.
“This… Senior Brother, the various realms of the Heavenly Court have already amassed armies in the starry sky of the ancient civilisation faction, the cultivators of the Infernal Realm are also continuously rushing to the Shura Star Pillar Realm, the great war could erupt at any time.”
“It is not that Junior Brother is shirking, it is really because with my status, I must represent the Death Divine Palace to garrison the Shura Star Pillar Realm, I cannot get away.” Blood Slaughter shows a difficult expression and says thus.
Zhang Ruochen says: “The Ten Realms put forth by the Heavenly Court and Infernal Realm, more than half are located in the starry sky not far from the ancient civilisation faction, the two matters do not conflict.”
Then again, he says: “Qi Lin Zi, Huo Xi, Qing Xun Yun have already agreed to dispatch the Blood Emperor Divine Demon Camp to assist me.”
“As a close junior brother, yet you push back and forth.”
“Would this not mean that I gave you face, but you do not give me face?”
Blood Slaughter’s expression becomes even more difficult as he says: “Since the Blood Emperor Divine Demon Camp is stepping forward, subduing the Ten Realms should be a piece of cake! Who dares to block the strongest mortal army of our Undying Blood Race?”
Zhang Ruochen sighs lightly: “You think carefully.”
“Could it be the Azure Deer Divine Hall, Earth Fiend Ghost City, Death God Hall? They would not go all out against the Blood Emperor Divine Demon Camp just for the Ten Realms, right?” Blood Slaughter says.
“You think even more carefully.”
Blood Slaughter ponders for a long time, shakes his head, and says: “Senior Brother, still you give me a pointer or two!”
Zhang Ruochen says: “When collecting the Ten Realms, there will definitely be cultivators obstructing.”
“That is inevitable!” Blood Slaughter nods.
Zhang Ruochen transmits sound in a low voice: “In my view, Lan Ying, Southern Saint, Yuan are all likely to make a move. Although the Blood Emperor Divine Demon Camp is powerful, Qi Lin Zi and the others may not dare to offend these few. In terms of courage, in terms of resolve, they fall far short of you.”
Blood Slaughter did not expect Zhang Ruochen’s evaluation of him to be so high, immediately, he glances disdainfully and coldly at Qi Lin Zi and the others, full of spirit and says: “What are mere Lan Ying and Yuan? Southern Saint claims to be the successor of the Heavenly South Life and Death Ruins, actually he is merely a disciple of the Seven Adults, even a generation below me! Cultivators throughout the world fear the Heavenly South Life and Death Ruins, but it does not include me, Blood Slaughter.”
Zhang Ruochen says: “Have you not always wanted to seize a Supreme Sacred Artifact? This is a rare opportunity!”
Blood Slaughter’s spirits lift immediately.
“In single combat, you definitely do not fear Lan Ying. But to suppress him would be as difficult as ascending to heaven, right? However, with the Blood Emperor Divine Demon Camp’s assistance, how could a mere Lan Ying escape?”
Zhang Ruochen then adds a sentence: “Lan Ying has said that the Asura Sword is not just a simple Supreme Sacred Artifact.”
Blood Slaughter’s entire body blood boils up, his eyes burn hot, he cannot help but lick his lips, excitedly saying: “Senior Brother, you would not be wanting to use me to seize the Asura Sword, right?”
Zhang Ruochen says mockingly: “I do not even care for the Five-Coloured Merit Divine Stele, let alone a mere Asura Sword? If the Asura Sword were a complete divine artifact, perhaps I would be interested.”
“Pity, it is not.”
“Who knows, you Blood Slaughter have great fortune, in the future you might be able to nurture it back into a divine artifact.”
Blood Slaughter laughs: “It is still too early to say, who knows if I can suppress Lan Ying and refine it? This matter, I need to plan carefully, best to first hide the strength of the Blood Emperor Divine Demon Camp, show weakness to the enemy, lure them out, then strike with a move to trap them in a jar.”
“Moreover, best to also fabricate a charge of assassination for Lan Ying. In this way, even if I refine him and seize the Asura Sword, the Azure Deer Divine King can only swallow his anger like eating bitter gourd in silence, unable to say a word of grievance.”
“The Asura Sword goes to me! As for Yuan, if Senior Brother is interested, once captured, I will send her to you, Senior Brother.”
“Southern Saint is somewhat troublesome, hope he does not come to provoke me, otherwise, I Blood Slaughter will definitely make him unable to eat and walk around.”
Zhang Ruochen says: “This matter is settled then?”
“It is settled!”
“But you have to garrison the Shura Star Pillar Realm!”
“The great war will not erupt fully so easily, the Infernal Realm has powerhouses like clouds, not lacking one like me.”
Zhang Ruochen says: “Actually, seizing the Ten Realms is only secondary. There is another matter that I must let you know.”
“Senior Brother, speak freely.” Blood Slaughter says.
Zhang Ruochen sighs long, hesitating.
Seeing him like this, Blood Slaughter panics in his heart, always feeling like he has boarded a pirate ship.
Zhang Ruochen says: “You also know, I just broke through to the Supreme Realm, definitely need to spend quite some time in secluded cultivation, otherwise I would not hand over this great matter of collecting the Ten Realms to you to do. But there is one matter that has become my heart ailment.”
“I am willing to be Senior Brother’s heart medicine.” Blood Slaughter knows he cannot escape.
Since that is so, better to take the initiative.
Zhang Ruochen says: “This is truly too good! This matter, I will only tell to you alone. Actually, I and the heavenly maiden Luo Ji of the Heavenly Beginning Civilisation have a romantic involvement.”
“Cultivators throughout the world all know that your relationship is close.” Blood Slaughter says.
Zhang Ruochen says again: “But they do not know that Luo Ji has long been my woman, how can the relationship be described merely by the word close?”
Blood Slaughter completely understands, but this time, he truly feels difficult in his heart and says: “This matter, Junior Brother really cannot help! In the war between Heavenly Court and Infernal Realm, the Heavenly Beginning Civilisation will inevitably bear the brunt, destruction of the realm and extermination of the clan is only a matter of time. Let alone me Blood Slaughter, even if God Venerable steps forward, it cannot stop all this.”
“I am not asking you to stop all this, merely telling you this matter, letting you know.” Zhang Ruochen says.
Blood Slaughter carefully comprehends the meaning in Zhang Ruochen’s words and says: “I understand! This time I really understand! Senior Brother’s meaning is, if one day the Heavenly Beginning Heavenly Maiden encounters a dead end on the battlefield, I must deliberately let her leave?”
“Or, if she is captured by the Infernal Realm’s great army, I must help rescue her, send her to you, Senior Brother?”
“Or perhaps, Senior Brother wants me to step forward and recruit the entire Heavenly Beginning Civilisation… no, no, if it can be recruited, Senior Brother you would have already done so, how could it be my turn.”
Zhang Ruochen says: “What you can do is probably only these! The matter of the Heavenly Beginning Civilisation, I will personally resolve.”
“Senior Brother can actually resolve the matter of the Heavenly Beginning Civilisation?” Blood Slaughter says somewhat doubtingly.
Zhang Ruochen says: “Perhaps there is a way! For the matter of the Heavenly Beginning Civilisation, pay more attention, if truly able to help a bit, not long after, there is a great opportunity, I can take you along.”
“Senior Brother, what great opportunity?” Blood Slaughter asks excitedly and curiously.
He Blood Slaughter being able to surpass the various heaven-defying heroes of his generation, possessing today’s cultivation and status, is because of two great opportunities.
The first time, he obtained the War God Mark of the Blood Flame War God.
The second time, he obtained the opportunity of the Origin Divine Hall, becoming a disciple of the Death God Venerable.
And these two great opportunities, more or less, are related to Zhang Ruochen.
Undoubtedly, Zhang Ruochen is the son of fortune of this era.
Following him, even just sipping a mouthful of fortune soup, one can soar to prominence.
If able to grasp the third great opportunity, Blood Slaughter does not dare to imagine what height he can reach?
Zhang Ruochen says: “Telling you in advance is no harm, it is Yan Wushen inviting me to the Abyss of Darkness.”
Blood Slaughter’s expression condenses and he says: “The Dark Abyss is very dangerous, even gods entering might perish.”
“Indeed dangerous, so if your cultivation is not sufficiently powerful, how would you have the qualification to go with us? But think, with mine and Yan Wushen’s cultivations, still daring to venture in, what is it for?” Zhang Ruochen asks.
“For what?”
Zhang Ruochen smiles without speaking, whetting Blood Slaughter’s appetite fully, before deliberately saying an ambiguous sentence: “In history, many Heavenly Level figures in their later years went to the Abyss of Darkness, among them quite a few were buried inside.”
Although Zhang Ruochen said nothing concrete, Blood Slaughter becomes excited to the point of some madness.
Zhang Ruochen is the son of fortune, is Yan Wushen not as well?
Two figures possessing great fortune both entering the Abyss of Darkness, evidently this time there truly is a great opportunity, a heaven-shaking opportunity.
“Senior Brother, say no more, I will go collect the Ten Realms now. For the Heavenly Beginning Civilisation side, rest assured, in the mortal world of the Infernal Realm, my Great Slaughter War God Emperor’s influence can still hold people down! Who dares not give me some face?”
“Come, set off with this emperor! Whoever dares to block this emperor from helping Senior Brother collect the Ten Realms, this emperor will make them perish body and soul.”
Blood Slaughter leads Qi Lin Zi and the others away in a great hurry.
After a while, Blood Slaughter returns alone, solemnly saying: “Senior Brother, going to the Abyss of Darkness, you must bring me. Really, any dirty work or hard labour, I can do. You will not deliberately send me away and go alone, right?”
“Rest assured, such a good thing, how could I forget you. Go!” Zhang Ruochen says.
Blood Slaughter cups his fists with both hands, soars into the air again and leaves.
Xia Yu has been standing to the side and says: “I also want to go to the Abyss of Darkness.”
“No, too dangerous, you cannot go.” Zhang Ruochen says.
Xia Yu says: “Why can you take Blood Slaughter but not me? My cultivation is also not weak. There is a great opportunity, I also want to strive for it!”
“This is not a great opportunity…”
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen raises his head and looks towards the sky.
This rocky planet originally has no atmosphere.
But now, it is covered by thick dark clouds, dead energy permeates, the sky is grey and hazy, containing infinite killing intent.
One by one, soldiers wearing great saint bone armour, like heavenly soldiers and generals, manifest from the cloud layer, surrounding the entire planet, actually exceeding ten thousand in number.
It is a saint army.
Xia Yu’s almond eyes sink, she releases blood fiend energy, the energy surges to heaven and earth, and says: “It is the Black Bone Saint Army guarding the Indefinite Divine Sea, they come with ill intent.”
The three commanders of the Black Bone Saint Army walk out from the cloud layer.
Their auras powerful, their baleful energy surging.
On the great saint bone armour of the entire saint army, identical array inscriptions emerge, connecting together, forming a Star Locking Great Array.
