Chapter 2267: Defeat of a Thousand-Koan Realm Supreme Saint

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Grim Soul-devouring Flame was extremely evil, and when it was combined with a fingerstrike that Lord Xia Yu had cultivated, its power became even more condensed, and the power it unleashed increased exponentially.

Even the stars could not withstand that piercing force.

BANG!

?

BANG!

...

The shadows of Fist and Palm continued to shatter, but they continued to evolve. Like waves of water, they pushed forward layer by layer.

One layer, two layers, three layers...

To the eleventh layer of tremor force.

When the last layer of tremor force burst out, even with Lord Xia Yu’s cultivation of the completion of the Hundred-Shackle Realm, she was forced to retreat more than 300 meters to block it.

She landed on the ground and asked with confusion in her eyes, “What kind of saintwill did you use just now?”

“Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill,” Zhang Ruochen said.

“Nonsense. Where did the five elements saintwill come from? At most, it has the Water Saintwill. In addition, it seems to contain the charm of fist and Palm,” said Lord Xia Yu.

Lord Xia Yu’s cultivation was profound, so she can see it through. She had already analyzed more than half of what Zhang Ruochen had just used.

Zhang Ruochen said, “It’s just a name. Why do you care so much?”

Lord Xia Yu asked tentatively, “Is this the merged saintwill? Has it reached the third grade?”

The cultivators around were all moved.

“Third-grade saintwill?”

Zhang Ruochen was only in the Neverwilt Realm. How could he merge the saintwills and cultivate it to the third grade?

Luo Sha bit her red lips lightly. She had seen some clues just now, she thought to herself, ‘Those on the list of the completion of the Hundred-Shackle Realm, they successfully merged the saintwill and cultivated the third-grade saintwill after they had reached the Hundred-Shackle Realm. Zhang Ruochen was indeed a genius of the Yuanhui level. He had reached such a high level in the Neverwilt Realm. I wonder if Yan Wushen can do the same?’

Many Supreme Saints would stay in the completion of the Hundred-Shackle Realm for a long time.

Firstly, they had to refine their Neverwither physique repeatedly until perfection.

Secondly, they wanted to eliminate some hidden dangers in cultivation. They did not want to encounter difficulties after entering the Thousand-Koan Realm, and they also did not want to enter the Banshi Isshou Realm and encounter death.

Third, and most importantly, they wanted to try their best to polish the saintwill to the strongest level.

This was because after reaching the Thousand-Koan Realm, the saintwill would be solid. It could not be refined or cultivated into a new saintwill.

Zhang Ruochen said, “You saw through it.”

Lord Xia Yu was surprised, but she maintained a cold expression, she snorted. “If it wasn’t for the third-grade saintwill, how could you have blocked my fingerstrike with your cultivation? Unfortunately, you are not too familiar with the use of saintwill. Otherwise, I would have had to use saintwill to resolve the previous battle.”

Zhang Ruochen nodded. “You’re right. It takes a long time to get familiar with it. It’s best if you can fight a hundred or a thousand battles to understand the essence, changes, and mysteries of saintwill.”

The saintwill was the manifestation of the origin of heaven and earth. It was not as simple as the attack just now.

Although Zhang Ruochen had used the saintwill, he could not unleash the power of the saintwill. It felt like he had power but could not use it.

“Then let me show you how I use the saintwill. Let’s see if you can resist it,” said Lord Xia Yu.

Lord Xia Yu unleashed the Blood Saintwill. In an instant, a vast sea of blood appeared and pulled Zhang Ruochen into the world of the saintwill. It was as if he was in an endless blood sea.

At that moment, Zhang Ruochen became infinitely small.

Lord Xia Yu and the blood sea merged into one, and she possessed endless energy.

Zhang Ruochen had used all his strength to dissolve Lord Xia Yu’s power. Now, Lord Xia Yu had displayed the Blood Saintwill, which was much more powerful than before.

“A Supreme Saint at the completion of the Hundred-Shackle Realm is indeed extraordinary. Perhaps only by using the Realm-frame of Truth, The Spatial Domain, Null Time Realm, and Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill can break her Blood Saintwill,” Zhang Ruochen said.

He had the Path of Truth, a trump card that could unleash ten times the attack power in an instant. How could Lord Xia Yu not have the means to unleash several times the attack power in an instant?

Zhang Ruochen knew that this battle would not be so easy. He had to go all out.

Even if it was just a spar, as the leader of the clan, he could not lose.

Swoosh

A blade suddenly tore through the blood sea from the northwest. Like an aurora connecting heaven and earth, it slashed toward Lord Xia Yu.

“Huh?”

Lord Xia Yu and Zhang Ruochen were surprised. They had not expected a third person to enter the battlefield.

The blade had a shocking penetrating power. It was even stronger than Lord Xia Yu’s fingerstrike.

Lord Xia Yu quickly guessed who it was. Her eyes filled with killing intents. She extended her snow-white hand and pointed with the power of the blood sea.

The powerful Grim Soul-devouring Flame merged with the Blood Sea and turned into a blood river, then it collided with the blade.

Boom

The blood river and the blade shattered at the same time.

“Haha, not bad. You’ve made so much progress in just a hundred years. You can even block my full-strength blade attack. You’ve made great progress!”

An old man in plain clothes spoke and flew onto the blood sea with a Divine Marked Broadsword. His white hair was disheveled, and there was a thick layer of dirt on his face, arms, and legs, he looked quite slovenly.

Zhang Ruochen keenly sensed that the slovenly old man’s cultivation had surpassed the Hundred-Shackle Realm and reached the Thousand-Koan Realm.

The Supreme Saint cultivators were mostly in the Neverwilt Realm and the Hundred-Shackle Realm.

Those who could enter the Thousand-Koan Realm were considered high-level Supreme Saints.

For example, in Guanghan, which had hundreds of millions of living beings, there were only about ten Supreme Saints above the Thousand-Koan Realm.

There were only a handful of such powerful figures even among the Bloodysky Clan. Each of them had a great say.

Lord Xia Yu completely ignored Zhang Ruochen. She fixed her eyes on the sloppy old man and she said coldly, “Shen Nansheng.”

“Oh, little girl, you haven’t forgotten my name. It seems that you remember the strike from 100 years ago very well,” Shen Nansheng showed his yellow teeth and said with a hideous smile.

Lord Xia Yu’s anger was even stronger. Her crystal-clear face was filled with veins. Two cyan light pillars shot out from her eyes. She seemed to have transformed into a demon and attacked Shen Nansheng.

Zhang Ruochen felt that he was stepping on air and could not control his body. He left the blood sea and appeared in the Vastsea Manor.

Supreme Saint Qingsheng was already in the manor. He waved his sleeve and transported Lord Xia Yu and Shen Nansheng, who were fighting, into the desert battlefield that Zhang Ruochen had created earlier.

No doubt, Zhang Ruochen had been forcefully dragged out by him.

“Today, I have witnessed the power of a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Supreme Saint Qingsheng’s move just now seemed simple, but it could easily send a Thousand-Koan Realm Supreme Saint and a Supreme Saint at the completion of the Hundred-Shackle Realm into another dimension.

Zhang Ruochen could only marvel at such a method with his current cultivation.

Supreme Saint Qingsheng walked toward Zhang Ruochen with a cold face.

Zhang Ruochen said, “Uncle, this Shen Nansheng is the opponent you arranged for Lord Xia Yu, right? There seems to be a deep hatred between them. They used all kinds of trump cards as soon as they attacked.”

“Shen Nansheng is one of the four most powerful saints of the Fane of Thousand Clearwater. Lord Xia Yu’s clan, the Xias was adjacent to the Fane of Thousand Clearwater. They were both located in the southern ridge of the Bloodysky Clan world. After the ancestor of the Xia died, they lost the protection of the gods. Many of their benefits and territories could not be defended and were annexed by the Fane of Thousand Clearwater.

“About 100 years ago, during the fight between the two sides, Shen Nansheng once slashed toward the Holy City of Corals, one of the seven holy cities of the Xias, from a distance of 30,000 miles.

“At that time, Lord Xia Yu’s Neverwither physique was cut off when she tried to block the blade and she was severely injured. From that day, the grudge was formed between them.”

Zhang Ruochen asked curiously after hearing Supreme Saint Qingsheng’s story, “The fight between the two forces is so fierce. Don’t the leader of the Bloodysky Clan care about it?”

Supreme Saint Qingsheng said, “How? We were not powerful enough, yet we occupied a lot of resources. It will inevitably lead to a fight. That was beyond our control. The strong prey on the weak. Survival of the fittest is the rule.”

“If you want to change the situation, you have to cultivate hard to become stronger. You have to have value if you hope others will help you uphold justice.”

“The clan leader can only try to control the situation. It’s impossible to stop all of this by force. If the Xue Jue Family didn’t have Wargod Bloodximius, there would be many forces coveting it.”

“Let’s not talk about this. Let’s talk about you!”

Zhang Ruochen stared at the two people fighting on the desert battlefield. He understood what Supreme Saint Qingsheng was referring to. He asked, “Is it difficult to find the four Canons’ mark?”

Supreme Saint Qingsheng said coldly, “You understand. That’s not what I’m talking about. Since you are my nephew, I can’t let you go astray.”

Zhang Ruochen said, “I have to go this way.”

Supreme Saint Qingsheng was completely different from before. He said with a very stern face, “You want to combine Palm, Fist, and the five elements. That’s wishful thinking. It’s suicide. What about Swordsmanship, Path of Time, and the Path of Dimension? Are you going to give them up?”

“Of course not,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Supreme Saint Qingsheng said, “Your talent is indeed very high. You might be able to cultivate nine types of saintwills like Wargod Bloodximius. But there are only nine types. Do you think you’re different from other cultivators? Can you cultivate ten types? Eleven types?

“Since ancient times, there have been many geniuses. Many of them are as confident as you and have the same talent as you, but none of them succeeded. On the contrary, many cultivators with bright futures took risks to try, but in the end, they became mediocre and did nothing.

“Don’t think that you are unique, and don’t think that you can fight against heaven and earth and break the limits of the precepts. Otherwise, you will be punished by heaven and earth, and you will be thrown into the abyss of eternal damnation.”

Zhang Ruochen said, “Our path is paved by ourselves. The first living being to cultivate into a Supreme Saint, the first Supreme Saint to comprehend the saintwill, the first cultivator to cultivate into divinity... They don’t know whether they can succeed or not, but they are determined to move forward. That’s why they have opened up many Paths.

“Isn’t stepping on the path of cultivating to fight against heaven and earth? To constantly break the limits of the rules?”

Supreme Saint Qingsheng said, “You’re too self-righteous. Cultivating the saintwill is not as simple as you think. Listen to my advice. First cultivate the Path of Time, Path of Dimension, and Swordsmanship. Then, go and comprehend the Path of Five-Element.

“It’s best to choose the Path of Time, the Path of Dimension, and the Swordsmanship. Of the three Paths, choose the one that you’re best at and fuse it into a second-grade saintwill. Then, you will be invincible in the same realm in the future. If you reach divinity, you will have a chance to explore the peak of it.

“Combining the three main Paths into a second-grade saintwill is what you should do with all your strength.”

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were still firm. He said, “Cultivating the five elements and yin-yang might result in a second-grade saintwill.”

“It’s impossible to cultivate the second-grade saintwill if you don’t cultivate the main Path,” Supreme Saint Qingsheng said.

Zhang Ruochen said, “I don’t think so.”

“If you could cultivate the five elements and yin-yang, and cultivate the second-grade saintwill. My name will be written backward from now on,” Supreme Saint Qingsheng said angrily.

Zhang Ruochen did not expect Supreme Saint Qingsheng to take this matter so seriously. He thought for a moment and said, “Uncle, have you asked Wargod Bloodximius?”

“Not only will the Wargod Bloodximius not allow this, but even your mother also won’t let you do such irrational things. You’re trying to destroy yourself,” said Supreme Saint Qingsheng.

Zhang Ruochen said, “You haven’t asked Wargod Bloodximius yet, so how do I know what he thinks? Perhaps only a peerless figure like him can understand my decision at this moment. I want to try what he didn’t do back then, or what he didn’t dare to do.”

Supreme Saint Qingsheng was stunned. He had not expected Zhang Ruochen to be so determined.

It seemed that Zhang Ruochen’s decision could only be changed by reporting it to the Wargod Bloodximius or Blood Empress.

At that moment, the victor had been decided between Lord Xia Yu and Shen Nansheng, who were fighting fiercely in the desert battlefield.

Lord Xia Yu first used a ninth-grade array formation to trap Shen Nansheng into it, then she used the Soul-siphoning Flute to numb Shen Nansheng’s five senses with the?Hymn of Soul-sacrification. Finally, she pierced through Shen Nansheng’s chest with a fingerstrike.

The hundred-mile desert battlefield was dyed red with saint blood.

“Ninth-grade Myriads Array Formation, Great Kun Tun Fingerstrike, and Divine-piercing. She hid these trump cards. Xia Yu’s combat strength has already reached the early stage of the Thousand-Koan Realm.”

Supreme Saint Qingsheng naturally muttered these words to himself. He extended his hand into the air, pulled the injured Shen Nansheng out of the battlefield, and he landed beside him.

Shen Nansheng’s expression was a little dejected as he said with a sigh, “In the end, I’m beaten by my old age. My blood Qi has greatly decreased and I’m no longer as brave as before. The Xias have given birth to such a powerful young Supreme Saint. The revival of the Xias is just around the corner.”

Lord Xia Yu chased after him, still brimming with killing intent. She said, “Supreme Saint Qingsheng, please do not interfere in this matter. This is a personal grudge between me and him.”

“It was I who asked him to test your strength. Naturally, I have to bring him away safely.”

Supreme Saint Qingsheng secretly transmitted a telepathic message to Lord Xia Yu after that.

Lord Xia Yu asked after she heard the message, “Is that true?”

“Absolutely. You can give it a try.”

Supreme Saint Qingsheng nodded with a smile and left the Vastsea Manor with Shen Nansheng.

Lord Xia Yu stared at Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen frowned deeply. He looked at Supreme Saint Qingsheng’s back and thought to himself, ‘What did he say to Lord Xia Yu? Why did Lord Xia Yu focus on me? Did he trick me? Did he drag me out to help Shen Nansheng?’

...

When Supreme Saint Qingsheng went to report, Wargod Bloodximius and Bloodlucius were playing chess under a tree. They were playing a chess game that had been going on for a thousand years.

Wargod Bloodximius’s expression froze. He paused for a long time as if he was deep in thought.

Bloodlucius stared at him with a faint smile. He wanted to know what kind of decision Wargod Bloodximius would make in the face of this difficult problem?

After a long while, Wargod Bloodximius asked, “Have you explained the consequences to him clearly?”

Azure splendor Grand Sage said, “I have already explained it very clearly, but he did not listen to me at all. He even said... He even said that you would understand him. He wanted to give it a try for what you failed to do back then or what you did not dare to do.”

Wargod Bloodximius sank into his memories. For some reason, he could not help but laugh, “Good, very good. It seems that I underestimated him in the past. He was trying to cut off all his options of retreat. He was using a desperate action to force himself to move forward.”

“Back then, I thought about this matter for nine years. In the end, I still did not take that step. However, he used less than a day to firm up his thoughts. It seems that sometimes, thinking too much is a bad thing.”

Bloodlucius said, “At that time, you still had the responsibility to revitalize the Xue Jue Family. Countless eyes were watching you. You can’t take the wrong step. When you make a decision, of course, you can’t be as willful as him.”

Wargod Bloodximius stared at Supreme Saint Qingsheng, he said, “Go and tell him that the four Canons’ mark will be sent to him within three days. Also, don’t tell Qingyin about this. I will seal the heavenly secrets and not let her know. If she knows... hehe...”

Supreme Saint Qingsheng left, and he sighed as he walked.

Why did Wargod Bloodximius agree to Zhang Ruochen’s reckless actions? Is it really because my talent is too low to understand them? I’m a Supreme Saint of Paramount Realm and have the potential to become a god,’ Supreme Saint Qingsheng thought.
