Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Pink Skull remained calm and said,

“Don’t be afraid. Let’s attack together. Even if Zhang Ruochen is a being of formidable powers, he will die with our powers combined.”

In Ghost City, Pink Skull and Four-winged Ghost Emperor were not the only ones in the Great Perfection stage of Hundred-Shackle Realm. Many Ghost Supreme Saints stayed behind to guard their home planet too.

The total number was close to a hundred.

Close to a hundred Ghost Supreme Saints released their Saint Aura and attacked at the same time. Some activated their Immaterial Artifact or Regal Artifact, and some used advanced Saint technique.

Whoosh- Whoosh- Whoosh-

Beams of light like a meteor shower rushed out of the Array Screen and struck Zhang Ruochen.

Such aura and power shook heaven and earth, shocking the cultivators of the three upper races who were near home planet to retreat.

No matter how conceited Zhang Ruochen was, he couldn’t be arrogant enough to take the attacks of nearly a hundred Supreme Saints head-on. However, Zhang Ruochen had been prepared for this. Zhang Ruochen had put away Saint Aspect of the Immovable Wisdom King the moment nearly a hundred

amount of powers were unleashed in Ghost City. He then used Great Dimensional Shift and dodged far away.

“He escaped pretty quickly. It’s really troublesome to kill a cultivator of Dimensions.”

Pink Skull complained and released spiritual power to find Zhang Ruochen.

suddenly, Zhang Ruochen appeared from a Dimension 300 miles away from Ghost City with Violet Gourd in his arms. He activated Dimensional Inscription at the mouth of Violet Gourd and shouted, “Take them all!”

“Oh no,”

Pink Skull realized that she had been tricked by Zhang Ruochen and quickly shouted, “Put away your weapons.”

Unfortunately, it was too late!

The Ghost Supreme Saints had thrown out dozens of weapons, all of which were covered by Dimensional Array. As the dimension collapsed, Zhang Ruochen took them all into the gourd.

Zhang Ruochen knew very well that he was no match with nearly a hundred Ghost Supreme Saints from the very beginning. Even if he attacked forcefully for ten days and ten nights, he would not be able to break through the defense of Ghost City.

On the contrary, he would have to leave in defeat as there are endless powerful Ghost figures in Ghost City.

It could be said that Zhang Ruochen would definitely lose.

If he wanted to break through Ghost City’s defense, he had to use some tricks to have a chance.

Earlier, Zhang Ruochen had deliberately put anger on his face to make Pink Skull think that he had lost his mind and was going to do something reckless and stupid.

After that, Zhang Ruochen intentionally manifested the Saint Aspect of the Immovable Wisdom King and attacked Ghost City with the strongest means. This action gave Pink Skull the illusion that he wanted to fight head-on.

All of this to lure the enemy.

Otherwise, how could Zhang Ruochen have the chance to take dozens of weapons at once?

“Damn it, Zhang Ruochen is too cunning.”

Pink Skull stomped her feet in anger. She wanted to rush out of Ghost City and tear Zhang Ruochen into pieces.

The Supreme Saints who didn’t use weapons but Saint Techniques were secretly glad. The Ghost Supreme Saints who had their Immaterial Artifact taken away felt chills in their hearts. They could only continue to communicate with their artifact’s vessel spirit and hope they could take it back.

Zhang Ruochen held Violet Gourd tightly with both hands. He used alll his strength to activate the Supreme Inscription inside.

Boom! Boom!

A deafening crash sounded from the gourd. The gourd shook non-stop and almost flew out of his hand.

“Since you want it, take it. Tl give them back to you.”

Violet Gourd instantly became bigger than Ghost City below. Beams of light flew out from the mouth of Violet Gourd and crashed into Ghost City.

This included a Supreme Artifact, Pleiades Lotus.

The expressions of all Ghost Supreme Saints changed.

Boom

Under the attack of dozens of weapons, a hole appeared on Array Screen above Ghost City. The power of Array decreased rapidly as the weapons landed in the city and destroyed its Array Inscriptions.

In the end, the Array collapsed completely and the entire Ghost City was reduced to ruins.

Apart from Supreme Saint level cultivators, all the surviving Ghost spirits were scared out of their wits.

Several Supreme Saints had been injured by their own weapons and were covered in dust.

“The Dimension is collapsing.”

While Ghost Supreme Saints were panicking, Zhang Ruochen spread out his hands and mobilized Power of Dimensions to tear open the densely packed Dimensional Rift. The Dimension where Ghost City was located became fragmented, it tuned into a chaotic zone where reality and void coexisted.

“Retreat quickly. The further the better. Without the defense of Ghost City, Zhang Ruochen will become even more difficult to deal with.”

“Oh no, I fell into the void space.”

A Supreme Saint’s realm was already very high. The erosion of the void space on Supreme Saints was limited. Therefore, even if Supreme Saints fell into it, one could quickly escape back to the home planet of Ghost.

Only Supreme Saints who had been hit directly by Power of Dimensional were going to be injured.

Some had their Astral Form pierced through, some had their heads cut off, and some had their bodies split apart. However, none of them were fatal to Supreme Saints.

Of course, Zhang Ruochen’s goal wasn’t to kill them. Instead, he wanted to scatter them, Only then would he have a chance to break them apart.

Ming fell into the void space. Just as he came out, he saw Zhang Ruochen standing in front of him.

“Go back.”

Zhang Ruochen reached out his hand and pressed it on top of Ming’s head, pushing him back into the void space.

Ming came out from another Dimensional Rift but was pushed back by Zhang Ruochen again.

“Go to hell Zhang Ruochen,”

‘Ming’s Astral Form was eroded by the power of the void space. He could only struggle desperately. When he saw Zhang Ruochen standing in the Dimensional Rift, his eyes were full of hatred. His body was farther and farther away from the Dimensional Rift, falling into the Endless Dark Abyss.

“Ladmit defeat and withdraw from Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting.”

As this voice sounded, Ming was teleported out of the Star region of Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting by the Mystic Eye of Myriad Realms’ power.

Giving up the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting was a shameful thing. It’s something all cultivators despised. To those who surrender, it’s going to be hard to raise their heads again for the rest of their lives. It was precisely for this reason that most of the Supreme Saints would rather die in Battlefield of

Celestial-Hunting than withdraw.

“Zhang Ruochen, I’m going to take you to ruins with me.”

Xu’s fierce roar spread throughout the home planet of Ghost.

Xu’s Primordial Ghost Emperor-Level Physique had been shattered countless times. He had been suppressed by Saint Devourer and was constantly getting weaker. He knew that it was difficult for him to tum the tables today.

Xu was the strongest Ghost. It was all his fault that Ghosts’ home planet had ended up like this. Even if Ming admitted defeat and left Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting, he would still be severely punished by Ghost Master. Ming would suffer a fate worse than death.

Since that was the case, Xu might as well die together with Zhang Ruochen. It would make his death more spectacular.

Zhang Ruochen had been releasing his spiritual power to look for Pink Skull and Supreme Saint Manjian. He had settled with Ming in an offhand manner. Only now did Zhang Ruochen realize that all Ghost Supreme Saints had escaped from their home planet. Everything within a thousand miles was

silent.

“Let’s go!”

Sensing that something was wrong, Zhang Ruochen immediately put away Saint Devourer and prepared to leave this area first.

“You can’t leave! Accept the baptism of Instance of Light. Our souls shall be scattered together.”

After Xu’s Primordial Ghost Emperor-Level Physique split apart, Ghostly Qi covered the entire home planet.

At this moment, all Ghostly Qi was burning, turning into thousands of green spectral flames.

Zhang Ruochen had read about “Instance of Light” in the book. It was an advanced Saint technique for Ghosts to perish together. It was extremely difficult to cultivate, but once you succeeded, you would be invincible against enemies ten times stronger than you.

‘That was because even an enemy that was ten times stronger would not dare to kill you.

Instance of Light could bum all the power in one’s body, including the Sainthood Source. It could kill an enemy that was ten times stronger when its destructive power is released.

It could be said that the art of mutual destruction was the most important method for a Supreme Saint to save his life.

Xiu Xiu Xiu!

The spectral flames, which were like thousands of stars, gathered together and formed into a single point.

Boom!

That point exploded and turned into a blinding light.

The entire starry sky was lit up and layers of star fog were shaken apart.

Pan Ruo, who stood tens thousands of miles away, was also dazzled by the blinding light and squinted her eyes.

‘The powerful energy wave destroyed everything on the surface of Ghosts’ home planet. The nine continents disappeared completely. All the oceans were vaporized.

Those Ghost Supreme Saints who had escaped from Ghosts’ home planet all had different reactions. Some were happy, some sighed, and some were silent.

“I didn’t think that Xu would end up this way. He could have been a powerful Ghost Deity in the future, but he ended it all by himself.”

“There’s nothing Xu can do. If Xu doesn’t use Instance of Light, who can stop Zhang Ruochen? The casualties of Ghosts will be even worse.”

“This is hard to accept.”

“Ghost Master should be the one who feels the most pain on Xu’s death. He has put in a lot of effort and placed high hopes on Xu. He wanted to train him to become the new God of Dishastan.”

Under normal circumstances, Ghosts couldn’t reproduce.

The so-called “Nine sons of Ghost Master” were actually the nine adopted sons of Ghost Master, similar to nine disciples.

However, they were different from disciples as these nine sons had entered Ghost Masters’ Astral Form for some time. Their bodies had the divine power and Paths of Ghost Master.

It was worth mentioning that if an Astral Form cultivated by a Ghost could reproduce, it would soon undergo a greater transformation. It would then leave the category of dead spirits and become a member of Nether Clan or Deathkin.

Corpusians were the same as Ghosts.

Nether Clan and Deathkin were similar. The only difference was that one transformed the Qi of dead spirits into The Power of Curse. The other transformed the Qi of dead spirits into The Will of Death.

The descendants of Nether Clan were born to be proficient in curses.

The descendants of Deathkin were born to be proficient in The Will of Death.

The conflict between the middle three races and the upper three races was because of this reason. This was because Fane of Darkness, which represented the interests of the three upper races, had developed many cultivation methods.

After cultivating these cultivation methods, Ghosts and Corpusian would reach a certain realm. Later, it’s very likely that they would cultivate a body that could reproduce and become a member of Nether clan or Deathkin.

Based on the foundation of weakening the three middle races, the three upper races could get stronger over time.

Of course, as Nether clan and Deathkin were able to reproduce, more changes happened to them.

This time, no one thought that Zhang Ruochen could survive.

Mistress Fireborn let out a long breath, “This is the result of being too arrogant. If you force an elite in the Great Perfection stage of Hundred-Shackle Realm to his death, you will die together with him. Even if we want to kill Supreme Saint Yanhong, we only want her to leave the battlefield.”

Supreme Saint Yuan Fei shook his head gently and said, “Zhang Ruochen couldn’t stop Xu from using Instance of Light because Xu’s spiritual power is strong. If it were a Supreme Saint with weaker spiritual power, he wouldn’t have had the chance to do so. So, you’d better not think that you can survive by

mastering the technique of mutual destruction.”

“Mn any case, if Zhang Ruochen and Xu die together, we will have two fewer enemies. This operation is perfect.” Mad Whitejade Lion laughed.

“Tm afraid you laugh too early.”

Pan Ruo pointed forward and said, “Look, what’s that?”

Everyone mobilized their power and looked carefully.

“A gourd. It’s Zhang Ruochen’s gourd.” Mistress Fireborn revealed a look of joy while her body burned with flames. She wanted to fly over and take it.

“Don’t be rash.”

Pan Ruo stopped her.

“Why? That gourd is an incredible treasure. It can take dozens of weapons at Regal Artifact level at once. Furthermore, Zhang Ruochen’s Saintwill Pills and Ampliofruits are probably inside.”

Mistress Fireborn was worried that Violet Gourd would be taken away by Supreme Saints from Ghost and Bone clan.

Pan Ruo said, “Aren’t you afraid that Zhang Ruochen is in there too?”

Mistress Fireborn’s expression changed slightly. She had seen Zhang Ruochen fight with Xu. Subconsciously, she was a little afraid of Zhang Ruochen.

However, she soon laughed and said, “The Instance of Light is a destructive power that explodes in an instant. How could Zhang Ruochen have time to react and escape into the gourd?”

“Others can’t do it, but he’s a Master of Time,” said Pan Ruo.

Mistress Fireborn couldn’t laugh anymore. She stared at Violet Gourd again. She couldn’t help but feel chills on her back. If what Pan Ruo said was true, doesn’t that mean Xu couldn’t kill Zhang Ruochen even after using a mutual destruction technique? Wouldn’t Zhang Ruochen be truly heaven-defying?

Whoosh

Near Ghost’s home planet, Pink Skull appeared out of thin air with Supreme Saint Manjian in her hand.

Previously, with the power of the Supreme Artifact, Pink Skull had concealed herself and avoided Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power detection. It had also successfully distracted Zhang Ruochen and bought time for Xu to use Instance of Light.

“Zhang Ruochen, oh Zhang Ruochen. You are indeed a very powerful opponent. I would have fallen today if Xu didn’t sacrifice himself. However, the stronger you are, the more valuable you will be if I kill you. The deities must have caught sight of it. Haha!”

Pink Skull threw Supreme Saint Manjian to a Ghost Supreme Saint. Then, she turned into a beam of red light and flew toward Violet Gourd.

She was filled with anticipation for Violet Gourd.

Pink Skull reached out to grab Violet Gourd from hundreds of feet away. However, as the silhouette of her hand got closer, she felt uneasy.

“Something’s wrong, this gourd is a Supreme Artifact. Its vessel spirit must be very powerful. Why didn’t it resist?”

Pink Skull was about to retreat, but she felt a Dimensional ripple appear behind her.

Zhang Ruochen’s figure surfaced from the Dimensional ripple. His body was covered in blood. Like a phantom of death, he stood unswervingly behind her while his chest was so close to her back.

Pink Skull’s heart sank to the bottom..
