God Emperor

Chapter 2338 Return

The Pure Sky Continent… home planet to the Immortal Vampires.

Yue Tinghai was the only Supreme Saint that had reached the Great Perfection of the Hundred-Shackle Realm in the Puresky Clan. After 830 years of cultivation, it was naturally something to be proud of.

He had been hiding his cultivation all this while because he wanted to amaze everyone in the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting and let the entire Infernal Court know the name “Yue Tinghai”.

However, he had suffered an unprecedented blow on the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting.

Before the Celestial-Hunting Battle had even begun, he had been defeated by Lord Xia Yu and had one of his arms cut off. He had suffered the greatest humiliation of his life. Now, when the battle had finally begun, the Bloodysky clan had stolen all the limelight instead.

The hundreds of millions of Immortal Vampires in the Infernal Court only saw Zhang Ruochen sweep all over the place with great achievements. Did anyone even know of his name Yue Tinghai?

Would the Puresky Clan members who had high hopes for him be very disappointed?

“The points of the Bloodysky Clan have reached 12 million, and Zhang Ruochen alone has 10.84 million. Even that nobody, Yi Xuan has accumulated 1 million points. As for me, I only have 590,000 points.”

Yue Tinghai held the diamond-shaped mirror in his hand and looked at the ranking of the points on it. He clenched his hand angrily and wished that he could crush the mirror.

From the start of the battle until now, the Immortal Vampires had obtained 20.4 million points from killing the Celestial Captives. They were temporarily ranked second among the ten clans. Compared to the first-ranked Yanluo clan, they were only two million points behind.

The reason why the Yanluo clan was so strong was mainly due to their overall strength. They had many Supreme Saints that have reached the Great Perfection of the Hundred-Shackle Realm and many who had broken through 90 shackles or more.

In the previous Celestial-Hunting Battles, the Yanluo clan’s points were often double the amount of the number 2 clan and leading by a wide margin.

This time, the Immortal Vampires were able to tightly follow the Yanluo clan’s points. This was already an incredible feat. It was the glory of the entire Immortal Vampires.

One could imagine that in the Infernal Court, all the Immortal Vampires should be paying attention to their ranking of points in the Celestial-Hunting Battle. They must all be fired up and shouting the names of the “Bloodysky Clan” and “Zhang Ruochen”.

The Celestial-Hunting Battle was a battle of great interest and carries great significance in ranking for a clan.

However, it was more important for the cultivators who participated in the Celestial-Hunting Battle because it represents their future.

Those who performed well in the Celestial-Hunting Battle would naturally be treated as the future leaders of their clans and nurtured accordingly. It was what the people yearned for.

Whoosh

Suddenly, ripples appeared on the ground in front of Yue Tinghai.

Lord Bladehell stood in the blood mist with his long golden hair hanging loosely. He had emerged from the center of the ripples with a majestic aura. “Lord Bladehell, what are you doing in the Pure Sky Continent?” Yue Tinghai asked in confusion.

Lord Bladehell replied, “The Bloodysky clan has been established. Don’t you want to do something?”

Yue Tinghai understand the hidden meaning in Lord Bladehell’s words, and he snorted. “I’ve received news that Zhang Ruochen destroyed the Ghost Clan’s home planet. Even Xu died at his hands, and Supreme Saint Yanhong fled after being defeated. It was obvious that he had hidden his strength before. His combat strength is probably comparable to Lord Lei. With Lord Xia Yu and Supreme Saint Yi Xuan, the Bloodysky Clan had become the strongest force of the Immortal Vampires. What else can we do other than watch him continue to stir up troubles on the battlefield?”

“In the Celestial-Hunting Battle, the Bloodysky Clan’s points will not affect the Qitian Clan even if they are ranked first among the ten great clans.” said Lord Bladehell, “However, the Puresky Clan’s ranking might be pushed down by one place.”

“So what?” asked Yue Tinghai

Lord Bladehell said, “It means that the Puresky Clan will get fewer resources. It also implies that you will disappoint the gods of the Puresky Clan.”

Yue Tinghai was silent and he clenched his fists.

No matter what the reason was, the Puresky Clan’s ranking had fallen and he was to take the blame.

With great strength comes great responsibility.

Lord Bladehell continued, “It’s a good thing that Zhang Ruochen is working so hard. The higher the ranking of the Immortal Vampires, the more benefits we’ll get. But there is also a way that we can get more benefits.” “What way?” Yue Tinghai asked.

“Do you remember that the leaders of the Ten Clans decided on one thing at the beginning which was that each of the ten great clans will protect their clansmen on a continent? Whichever clan loses all of their clansmen will have half their points taken away. The points that are taken will be distributed to the other nine great clans. This is the inside rule of us Immortal Vampires!” Lord Bladehell said.

Yue Tinghai looked enlightened and replied, “You want me to kill the Immortal Vampires on the Bloodysky Continent? But if I do that, a part of the total points of the Immortal Vampires will be deducted.”

Lord Bladehell laughed. “There are only 30 million Immortal Vampires on the Bloodysky Continent. Even if we kill them all, it will only deduct 3 million points from the Immortal Vampires.”

“The Celestial-Hunting Battle has just begun. With Zhang Ruochen and the Bloodysky Clan’s abilities, we can collect more points later. But those points will have to be distributed to us. Don’t you think this is very interesting?”

Yue Tinghai knew that it was highly beneficial to turn Zhang Ruochen and the Bloodysky Clan into tools for them to earn points. Even if they didn’t go out to hunt Celestial Captives, they would still be rewarded handsomely.

Yue Tinghai chuckled and said, “Why don’t you do it yourself?”

Lord Bladehell shrugged, and said, “I’m hunting Celestial Captives. It’ll be too late when we get back to our home planet. If you want to make a move, you’d better hurry up as there are presently no strong elites in the Bloodysky Continent. When Zhang Ruochen comes back, you won’t have another chance.”

His last words echoed in the room. Lord Bladehell’s spiritual avatar had disappeared into thin air.

“Zhang Ruochen, Lord Xia Yu, the Bloodysky Clan…”

The more he repeated these three names, the colder his eyes became.

Although he knew that Lord Bladehell was using him, he had to admit that this was a drastic move. As long as he did it secretly, who would know that he was the one who killed 30 million people on the Bloodysky Continent?

The Celestial-Hunting Battle was unscrupulous. Those who followed the rules would only have mediocre results.

All the Immortal Vampire cultivators on the Bloodysky Continent were connected in three cities.

The largest city was called the Cloud City. The dimensional teleportation array Zhang Ruochen had set up was in the city mayor’s mansion in Cloud City. It was guarded by Xue Ningxiao.

Xue Ningxiao’s cultivation had already broken through to the Supreme Saint realm. In the past few days, news had kept coming from the starry sky. There was both bad news and good news.

If it wasn’t for the fact that she couldn’t determine the dimensional coordinates of the Ghost Clan’s home planet, she would have led the cultivators of the Bloodysky Clan there long ago. Through the diamond-shaped mirror, Xue Ningxiao could see that Zhang Ruochen’s points would suddenly skyrocket every once in a while. While she was secretly glad that he was still alive, she could also guess that an intense battle must have broken out in a faraway place.

As the points of the Bloodysky Clan grew higher and higher, even pushing the Immortal Vampires to second place in the total points, all the Supreme Saints in the clan who once had a problem with Zhang Ruochen had changed their opinions about him.

Zhang Ruochen had won their respect and won hard-earn glory for the entire Bloodysky Clan.

Countless cultivators were looking forward to Zhang Ruochen’s return in triumph, and they hoped that nothing unexpected would happen.

Crash

The array suddenly began to revolve while emitting a dazzling light.

Xue Ningxiao was originally sitting cross-legged and cultivating with her body sometimes distinct and other times see-through. At this moment, she suddenly opened her bright and seductive eyes and her delicate body turned solid. She stood up happily and walked toward the array.

Zhang Ruochen and Lord Xia Yu appeared in the array. Xue Ningxiao’s worried heart finally calmed down, “Cousin, Lord Xia Yu,” she said. “You two are the heroes of the Bloodysky Clan. The news of the Celestial-Hunting Battle will spread everywhere. After the battle, you’ll get the chance to cultivate in the Fane of Immortality.”

Lord Xia Yu remained cold and serious. and spoke cautiously. “He’s the hero. I wouldn’t dare to take credit.”

Zhang Ruochen asked, “Did anything big happen on the Bloodysky Continent while I was away?”

“Last night, a tsunami ravaged our planet. The waves rose up for a thousand meters and almost sank the Bloodysky Clan. Fortunately, Gu Chenzi was there to guard against and repel the tsunami so it didn’t damage the three cities,” Xue Ningxiao said meaningfully.

Lord Xia Yu’s eyes turned cold as he said, “A thousand-meter-high tsunami is definitely man-made. I’ve set up a Defensive Array on the periphery of our home planet. Since the Array hasn’t been broken, it means that the attack didn’t come from the outside.”

“Humph! It seems that some people among the ten great tribes are jealous of the points that the Bloodysky Clan has gotten. They want to take advantage of the situation and stab us in the back.”

“Have you found out who it is?”

Xue Ningxiao said, “I was guarding the dimensional teleportation array last night so I don’t know what happened exactly. Gu Chenzi should know more.”

Zhang Ruochen’s face was cold, but his tone remained calm as he spoke. “The Immortal Vampires must unite if they want to compete with the Yanluo clan for first place. If they want to kill their clansmen and stir up trouble internally, they must be punished as an example.”

Then Zhang Ruochen looked up at the sky and said, “Xiao Xiao, send a message to all the Supreme Saints staying behind on our planet. Tell them to meet me at the Cloud City immediately. I’ll personally go and invite those who do not arrive in 12 hours.”

After saying this, Zhang Ruochen disappeared from where he stood.

Xue Ningxiao was shocked by Zhang Ruochen’s strength with his swift and decisive actions. She looked at Lord Xia Yu with worry in her beautiful eyes and said, “Isn’t giving such an order self-proclaiming himself as the leader of the Immortal Vampires? Will it anger Lord Bladehell and Lady Wind? The cultivators from the other clans would also be unhappy.” Lord Xia Yu stroked her chin and stared at the blood-red sky, “Xu is dead,” she proclaimed. “Supreme Saint Yanhong had lost and even Wu Jiang was heavily injured by Zhang Ruochen. How much significance will Lord Bladehell and Lady Wind be? Zhang Ruochen is leading the Immortal Vampires to take first place among the ten clans. Anyone who dares to hold him back will be in big trouble.”

“Even Wujiang had lost to my cousin…”

Xue Ningxiao had not yet received the news of Wu Jiang’s defeat. She was extremely shocked. She immediately understood that cousin Ruochen might eliminate the cultivators who did not agree with him. He would unite all his forces and lead everyone to strive for the number one position that the Yanluo clan held.

The Immortal Vampires were going to change!
