Chapter 2401: Curse of Dark and Light

Seeing more than 300 Supreme Saint Celestial Captives charging at him, Zhang Ruochen was not afraid. Instead, he was happy. He had to keep such a large amount of points.

Of course, he would never fight them head-on.

Even if more than 300 Supreme Saint Celestial Captives each used a saint technique and combined their power, they could easily kill a Supreme Saint at the pinnacle of the Thousand-Koan Realm. Even a Banshi Isshou Realm Supreme Saint would have to avoid their attacks.

Within a thousand miles, some Celestial Captives had already attacked.

Whoosh

A snake-shaped electric arc transcended through the void and struck Zhang Ruochen’s chest.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t move at all. He used his body to dissolve the attack. He laughed deliberately, “You weaklings, don’t even think about hurting me from a long distance.”

Perhaps it was because he had refined the Pale Blood Soil, but Zhang Ruochen’s injuries healed quickly. He had mostly recovered from the punch from the Great Demonic Shadow.

Even Zhang Ruochen was surprised.

The Supreme Saint Celestial Captives were enraged. They thought to themselves, ‘You’re a traitor who defected to the Infernal Court. How dare you laugh at us?’

“The traitor deserves to die. I’m going to self-destruct with my Sainthood Source and die with him. Help me get within a thousand steps of him,” a Bodhisattva from the Western Buddha Realm said angrily like a Vajra.

After reaching the Supreme Saint Realm, one can be titled “Bodhisattva” in the Western Buddha Realm.

This Vajra-like Bodhisattva’s Dharma name was Dao Yuan. His cultivation had reached the Hundred-Shackle Realm. He was one of the top five powerful figures in this group of Supreme Saints.

They got closer and closer. In a moment, they were within 50 kilometers of Zhang Ruochen.

All the Supreme Saint Celestial Captives were delighted. As long as they got closer, they didn’t need to self-destruct with their Sainthood Source. They all attacked together. Hundreds of saint techniques covered him. No matter how high Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation was, he would be reduced to ashes, including Yan Huangtu, who wasn’t far from Zhang Ruochen and had to die.

Dao Yuan had been paying attention to Zhang Ruochen. Suddenly, his expression changed. “Not good, Zhang Ruochen has disappeared!”

Whoosh

The space trembled.

Zhang Ruochen used the Great Dimensional Shift and appeared among the Supreme Saint Celestial Captives.

“The Spatial Domain.”

“Null Time realm.”

“The Realm-frame of Truth.”

“The Immovable Wisdom King’s Saint Aspect.”

“Thundergod Reverend.”

Zhang Ruochen used five techniques in a row. He also used the Pleiades Lotus as a shield. He used six different things at once, squeezing his spiritual power to the limit.

The Spatial Domain and Null Time realm greatly reduced the speed of all the Supreme Saint Celestial Captives.

The Realm-frame of Truth could allow Zhang Ruochen to see through all illusions and fantasies. It could also increase his attack power, greatly increasing the battle strength of Immovable Wisdom King’s Saint Aspectand Thundergod Reverend, each strike could make a Supreme Saint Celestial Captives bleed or explode.

Some were heavily injured, while others were killed instantly.

In just six breaths, the Immovable Wisdom King’s Saint Aspect and the Thundergod Reverend had killed nine Neverwilt Realm Supreme Saints and injured 54 Supreme Saints. There was bloody fog rolling in the starry sky.

It was a shocking scene to fight against more than 300 Supreme Saints alone and destroy the bodies of 60 to 70 Supreme Saints in a row.

All the cultivators watching the projection of the Mystic Eye of Myriad Realms felt their souls tremble.

Zhang Ruochen had only maintained his peak condition for six breaths, but he was already out of strength. His head was dizzy. He quickly put away the Thundergod Reverend and continued to control the Immovable Wisdom King’s Saint Aspect and the Pleiades Lotus with all his strength, one attack, one defense.

The Supreme Saint Celestial Captives’ attacks continued to hit Zhang Ruochen.

However, Zhang Ruochen was able to use the mysteries of The Realm-frame of Truth to predict in advance and move out to avoid their attacks.

At this moment, Zhang Ruochen was like a wolf in a flock of sheep.

He could only kill Celestial Captives but they couldn’t hurt him at all.

Countless cultivators who were onlookers fell silent as they witnessed this scene. They wondered how this could have happened. Even if the spiritual power of the Celestial Captives was sealed, there were far too many people. How could they be helpless in the face of such adversity?

In the end, a god came up with an answer. Zhang Ruochen cultivated Time, Dimension, and Truth at the same time. These three Paths of the Ancients allowed him to not only kill enemies across realms but also be at ease when facing attacks from low-realm cultivators, he could advance and retreat freely.

Besieging was ineffective against Zhang Ruochen.

“This is the terrible thing about a Master of Time and Space! The higher the cultivation, the more powerful he is.”

Some gods of the Infernal Court recalled the battle when they besieged Saint Monk Xumi.

If it hadn’t been for Saint Monk Xumi’s desire to protect Kunlun, the Infernal Court might not have been able to kill him even if they sent a swarm of gods to besiege him, because they couldn’t keep him.

Of course, even though many gods attacked Saint Monk Xumi, they still couldn’t kill him.

Saint Monk Xumi used all his divine power to transform it into the power to protect Kunlun before he died.

It was a martyr’s death.

He had fought for 100,000 years for the lives of Kunlun. He had also fought for time for the severely injured gods of Kunlun to recuperate.

All the gods of an eternal and indestructible Macroworld couldn’t die.

“If Zhang Ruochen keeps killing like this, won’t the points between the Immortal Vampires and the Yanluo clan widen again?”

Yan Huangtu stopped healing and killed more than 300 Supreme Saint Celestial Captives with his Great Demonic Shadow.

“Zhang Ruochen, do you not care about the lives of the remaining Immortal Vampires? If all of them are killed, what’s the point of collecting more points now?”

Yan Huangtu himself hunted the Celestial Captives, while the Great Demonic Shadow held the Scepter of Heaven’s Pass and guarded by his side. It was used to defend against the Celestial Captives’ attacks and to guard against Zhang Ruochen’s sudden attack.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t say anything.

Under the hunting of the two powerful figures, even if the Supreme Saint’s vitality was strong, the Celestial Captives kept dying.

Many heavily injured Celestial Captives were killed several times. Their souls and bodies were instantly destroyed.

Not long after, nearly 100 Supreme Saint Celestial Captives died.

The remaining Supreme Saint Celestial Captives were killed to the point of fear. They immediately scattered in all directions.

“Zhang Ruochen isn’t someone we can kill. Let’s wait for Lord Hornless to come and kill him,” the purple beast stared at Zhang Ruochen with fear. He turned into a phantom and fled into the distance.

“Going somewhere?”

Zhang Ruochen folded his arms. A powerful space shock wave spread out with him at the center.

36 Dimensional Swords condensed around him. They turned into a rain of swords and flew toward the fleeing purple beast.

The purple beast was a Supreme Saint in the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm. He had a million points.

Any cultivator would look at it with shining eyes. It was more attractive than a beautiful woman.

The Dimensional Sword Dance was a technique comparable to the high-level saint technique of the Thousand-Koan Realm. The purple beast looked back and saw the rain of swords flying toward it. Its Saint Soul trembled. It felt like it was locked on to death.

Boom

The Great Demonic Shadow appeared in the middle of the attack. It waved the Scepter of Heaven’s Pass and controlled the Supreme Power, shattering more than half of the Dimensional Swords.

Only five Dimensional Swords caught up to the purple beast. They were blocked by the purple flames he spat out, neutralizing Zhang Ruochen’s fatal attack.

Zhang Ruochen’s face darkened. Yan Huangtu was still interfering.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to pay attention to him for the time being. He used the Great Dimensional Shift and prepared to continue chasing after the purple beast.

Bang

He was only halfway through casting the Great Dimensional Shift when he was bounced back by an invisible space wall. His body reappeared in space. Fortunately, Zhang Ruochen sensed that something was wrong in advance, so he wasn’t injured.

He steadied himself and looked forward.

A dark green light ball appeared out of thin air around him. It had a diameter of about 30 meters and trapped him inside.

The light ball was originally invisible. It only appeared after he hit it.

At this moment, the light of the dark green light ball gradually faded and disappeared into nothingness.

Zhang Ruochen did not dare to act rashly. He knew that the light ball was still there.

‘Did someone set this trap in advance? No, that’s not right. If this ball of light was here earlier, my Spatial Domain and Realm-frame of Truth would have sensed it,’ Zhang Ruochen thought.

Yan Huangtu was surprised when he saw this.

A moment later, he seemed to have guessed something. He turned his head and saw a large group of Nether Clan Supreme Saints flying into the void. They formed small teams to hunt the escaping Celestial Captives.

“Zhang Ruochen, you can stay here. I’ll go hunt the purple beast first!”

Yan Huangtu laughed loudly. He turned into a streak of golden light and chased after them.

Zhang Ruochen, of course, saw the Nether Clan Supreme Saint. He had attained enlightenment. He turned on his Eye of Truth and took a look around. “Wujiang, I know you’re hiding nearby,” he said. “What kind of enchantment is this?”

There was no response in the void.

However, the dark green ball of light with a diameter of 30 meters naturally appeared and quickly shrank.

27 meters, 24 meters, 21 meters…

The space that Zhang Ruochen could move in became smaller and smaller.

Zhang Ruochen’s face darkened. Wujiang had learned his lesson. He no longer fought him head-on. Instead, he took full advantage of his situation and hid in the darkness to curse him.

“Rise!”

Zhang Ruochen opened his hands and held up the Profound Spatial Dimension, blocking the dark green light ball 9 meters away.

The Profound Spatial Dimension could hold up to 3000 meters. Zhang Ruochen thought that he could break the light ball directly. However, the strength of the light ball was far stronger than he had expected. At first, it was only about 30 feet in diameter, but soon, it was pushed back to 30 feet in diameter.

‘It seems that Wujiang is using the Myriad Curse Bead. A Supreme Artifact should be that powerful,’ Zhang Ruochen thought.

The dark green light ball didn’t continue to shrink, but hundreds of Nether Clan Supreme Saints flew in this direction. They were all mobilizing their Nether Qi and activating the Regal Artifact in their hands. It seemed like they wanted to attack together and kill him in the light ball.

Hidden in the darkness, Wujiang held the Myriad Curse Bead with both hands and mumbled, “Trapped in the Curse of Light and Dark, you can’t escape. Today is your funeral.”

At this moment, Wujiang didn’t show any emotion on his face. He was frighteningly calm.

If Pan Ruo, Supreme Saint Yuan Fei, and the others were here, they would be shocked. This was because they all felt that after being defeated by Zhang Ruochen, Wujiang had become extreme and reckless. There was a huge flaw in his state of mind.

But who would have thought that it was all an act?

In fact, after being defeated by Zhang Ruochen, Wujiang’s state of mind had not collapsed. Instead, it had been tempered. He had become more reserved and deep. Otherwise, he would not have gotten half of the opportunity of the Nether Clan’s home planet.

The reason for his disguise was that after careful analysis, Wujiang felt that there might be spies in the three upper clans, and they had a different relationship with Zhang Ruochen. Otherwise, there would not always be mistakes in their actions.

Wujiang had several suspects, including Pan Ruo and Supreme Saint Yuan Fei.

The purpose of pretending to be blinded by hatred was to make the spy look down on him. The more careless he was, the easier it would be for the spy to give himself away.

Earlier, when Pan Ruo was injured, Wujiang immediately went to help her heal. He wanted to investigate her background. Although he didn’t think that Pan Ruo was a spy from the three upper clans, he still wanted to investigate her.

“Break!”

The Pleiades Lotus turned into a black flower. It spread out seven petals and became hundreds of meters in size. Together with the Profound Spatial Dimension, it broke the light ball formed by the dark light curse and turned into dark green light spots.

Zhang Ruochen escaped.

Only a Supreme Artifact could resist another Supreme Artifact.

In the darkness, Wujiang’s eyelids twitched. He quickly put away the Myriad Curse Bead.

Whoosh

Above Wujiang’s head, Zhang Ruochen rushed out from the spatial ripples. He stomped down with Yanshen’s leg. The scorching divine flame dispersed the Power of Darkness enveloping Wujiang, revealing his handsome figure.

Wujiang put his hands together. The divine shadow of Netherdeus appeared behind him.

The Divine Shadow stretched out its huge palm and collided with Yanshen’s leg.

After a moment of stalemate, the divine shadow of Netherdeus shook violently and cracked.

Wujiang’s face changed slightly. He turned into a black light shuttle and retreated quickly.

BANG!

The divine shadow of Netherdeus shattered and was burned into sparks by the divine flames.

“Netherdeus, such vulnerability.”

Zhang Ruochen flew to the opposite side of Wujiang with flames burning all over his body.

Although he said this, Zhang Ruochen thought more highly of Wujiang because he intended to seriously injure him with that kick.

It was indeed remarkable that Wujiang could retreat unscathed.

His alertness and judgment were far better than before.

Wujiang’s expression didn’t change. “It seems that your cultivation has improved greatly. You can find my hiding place in the dark. What’s with the colorful radiance?”

The colorful radiance on Zhang Ruochen’s body could be seen throughout the entire Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting. It was too shocking. Wujiang was naturally curious.

Wujiang was still uneasy because he didn’t understand this.

Time was precious. Zhang Ruochen didn’t have the time to talk about this with him. He was going to chase after Yan Huangtu and stop him from hunting the purple beast.

But…

BOOM!

A deafening sound came from afar.

The gold skeleton-like body of Yan Huangtu was slashed back by a blood sword filled with killing intent. It flew more than 200 miles.

The power of the blood sword was so strong that the bones of Yan Huangtu exploded. Golden light dispersed everywhere as if the Royal Divine Frames were about to be shattered.

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed. “Lan Ying is here to join in the fun? No… It’s her.”

Lady Wind’s figure appeared beside the blood sword.

She held a 33 centimeters long white Destiny Feather and controlled tens of millions of Precepts of Destiny. She shot it into the body of Yan Huangtu’s Great Demonic Shadow, causing it to freeze on the spot.

It didn’t mean that Lady Wind’s cultivation was stronger than the Great Demonic Shadow’s.

It was just that the power of the Destiny Feather could counter the Great Demonic Shadow.

Lady Wind wanted to try to control the Great Demonic Shadow’s body, but she didn’t succeed. Her two willow-like eyebrows couldn’t help but frown.

Lan Ying flew out of the Sword of Asura and condensed a child-like body, he grinned hideously and said, “This Great Demonic Shadow’s body was condensed from the souls of millions of demonic cultivators and was repeatedly condensed and assimilated by Yan Huangtu. How can it be controlled by your cultivation? Let me devour it in one bite.”

Lan Ying opened his mouth wide and swallowed the Great Demonic Shadow into his stomach.
