Chapter 2400 - A Dramatic Turn

Chapter 2400: A Dramatic Turn

The Albajade Tree, which was more than ten thousand miles tall, was like rootless duckweed floating in the same spot where the Immortal Vampires’ home planet used to be. Its entire body was glowing with radiance. Around the Albajade Tree, there were fragments of different sizes of stars. They were left behind after the home planet had disintegrated.

Rumble

A chaotic battle at the Supreme Saint-level erupted here.

Even in the Battlefield of Merits, it was rare to see a battle of this level. It could be said that the sky was falling and the earth was shaking.

The Immortal Vampires’ Nine-Step Saint Kings and the heavily injured Supreme Saints had all retreated from the battlefield. Of course, many of them were forced to retreat by the Bone Clan Supreme Saints.

If they continued to stay on the battlefield, not only would they not be of any use, they would become a burden.

As for self-detonation of the Sainthood Source...

There were only a few cultivators who were determined to die.

Other than Zhang Ruochen, there were less than 50 Immortal Vampires Supreme Saints left on the battlefield. Under the pursuit of hundreds of Bone Clan Supreme Saints, they could only hide in the Albajade Tree and use the complicated environment inside the tree to continue fighting.

Of course, it was only a matter of time before they were all captured.

On the other side, Zhang Ruochen had single-handedly defeated the Eight Sons of Life and Death and forced them out of the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting. He had also destroyed the two centipedes formed by the Array Masters of the Yanluo clan.

His battle results were astonishing.

However, when Zhang Ruochen sent the Eight Sons of Life and Death into the void, he was ambushed by Yan Huangtu’s Great Demonic Shadow and was punched in the back. Even with the defense of his ten golden wings, he was still badly injured and his face was pale.

The Great Demonic Shadow was a secret technique cultivated by Yan Huangtu according to one of the ten Deva Paths of the Yanluo clan, the Deva Path of Great Demonic. It was condensed from the souls of millions of demonic cultivators and was very powerful, it was about 70% of the original body.

This was Yan Huangtu’s biggest trump card, which had never been used publicly before.

With this move, Yan Huangtu was confident that he could dominate this era.

Unfortunately, in this era, more and more powerful figures appeared. Especially Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen, made Yan Huangtu feel like he would be surpassed.

Yan Huangtu’s original body and the Great Demonic Shadow stood side by side, looking at the injured Zhang Ruochen.

Yan Huangtu said, “The Immortal Vampires will all be wiped out soon. The defeat is set. There’s no point in continuing to fight. How about this? Give me one Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill and one Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill. I promise to give the second place in the Battle of Celestial-Hunting to the Immortal Vampires.”

Zhang Ruochen glanced in the direction of the jade tree.

Hundreds of Bone Clan Supreme Saints surrounded the 10,000-mile-high Albajade Tree. They activated the bone fire and burned the Immortal Vampires who had escaped into the tree.

Any Immortal Vampires would grit their teeth at this sight.

Zhang Ruochen tried his best to remain calm. “How many points will the Bone Clan lose by attacking the Immortal Vampires so desperately? It doesn’t seem to be beneficial to them!”

“As long as we don’t kill the Immortal Vampires, we won’t lose many points. At most, one or two million.”. As for the self-destruction of the Immortal Vampires cultivator, of course, it has nothing to do with the Bone Clan. After all, he chose to commit suicide.” said Yan Huangtu while he was inhaling the colorful mist to recover from the severe depletion of Saint Qi and injuries.

Zhang Ruochen was caught in a dilemma.

As long as Zhang Ruochen attacks with all his might, it shouldn’t be long before he can drive the seriously injured Yan Huangtu off the battlefield and finish off this formidable foe.

However, the Immortal Vampires couldn’t wait that long.

If Zhang Ruochen returned to the Albajade Tree to rescue now, he would definitely be surrounded by hundreds of Bone Clan Supreme Saints. Even if he managed to escape, he would definitely be heavily injured.

Fighting one group at a time wasn’t easy. He would definitely have to pay the price.

“I still have a clansman with me. As long as he doesn’t die, the Immortal Vampires still have a chance to hold on to the number one position among the ten clans.”

Right now, Zhang Ruochen only hoped that on the battlefield on the seventh Dark Star, Lord Bladehell and Moyin could kill more Celestial Captives and collect more points. They must not disappoint him.

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were sharp. He was about to attack.

BOOM!

A powerful spatial ripple appeared in the direction of the Albajade Tree. Then, more than 300 Supreme Saint Celestial Captives appeared.

As soon as these Supreme Saint Celestial Captives appeared, they immediately spread out and fled in different directions.

“We’ve finally left the seventh Dark Star. What a dense energy aura. Quickly absorb it and recover the Saint Qi.”

“There’s a large group of Bone Clan Supreme Saints gathered here. Everyone, quickly run. Absorb that energy while you run.”

...

The colorful divine fog at Celestial-Huntingfield was not the Saint Qi of heaven and earth, the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, the blood-red aura, or the Qi of energy that the cultivators of the Infernal Court breathed and breathed.

The Qi of energy contained in the colorful divine fog could be absorbed by all kinds of cultivators.

However, it was complicated to refine in one’s body.

The Qi of energy in the world was actually connected. They were the same in nature, but they had different attributes. It was like a cup of water. It could be salty, tasteless, sweet, bitter, hot, cold...

Zhang Ruochen was shocked. His expression changed again and again.

How could this be?

How could the Supreme Saint Celestial Captives on the seventh Dark Star be teleported here all of a sudden?

“Impossible, impossible... The Dark Star has an extremely strong pulling force. The dimensional teleportation array can’t operate there. It’s even more impossible to teleport a cultivator away. Unless...” said Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen was shocked. Then Yan Wushen’s figure appeared in his mind.

It must be Yan Wushen.

It was Yan Wushen who had set up the dimensional teleportation array of darkness and mobilized the enormous Power of Darkness contained in the seventh Dark Star to make the teleportation array work.

Only he had this ability.

Zhang Ruochen couldn’t set up the dimensional teleportation array of darkness.

It wasn’t because Zhang Ruochen’s spatial attainments were inferior to Yan Wushen’s, but because his understanding of the Path of Darkness was still at the elementary level.

“It seems that Yan Wushen’s Path of Darkness is also very high. Yan Wushen, Yan Wushen, I underestimated you.” Zhang Ruochen said as his face turned solemn. He felt his heart sink to the bottom.

Yan Huangtu was surprised at first too, but he quickly figured out the reason. He nodded slightly, but there was no joy on his face.

The most excited ones were none other than the Supreme Saints of the Bone Clan.

More than 300 Supreme Saint Celestial Captives were suddenly sent to them. It was as if a pie had fallen from the sky. Naturally, they were extremely excited.

A Supreme Saint of the Bone Clan, who was in the Hundred-Shackle Realm, was the first to withdraw the bone fire, he waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry about the Immortal Vampires for now. Follow me to hunt the Celestial Captives. Killing so many Supreme Saint Celestial Captives might help us enter the top five.

“The Immortal Vampires have nowhere to run. Leave them to the Yanluo clan to deal with!”

Hundreds of Bone Clan Supreme Saints were extremely excited. They quickly chased after the Supreme Saint Celestial Captives.

They all had weapons and could attack from a distance. They weren’t afraid of the Celestial Captives exploding their Sainthood Sources.

Whoosh

A moment later, Lord Hornless and the other 300 Supreme Saint Celestial Captives were teleported to the starry sky near the Albajade Tree. They didn’t escape immediately. Instead, they quickly formed a formation.

Lord Hornless saw Zhang Ruochen from afar. He had a complicated look in his eyes.

He raised the Pentastone Sword and pointed at him. “That human man with ten golden wings is Zhang Ruochen, that bastard. Let’s go and kill him.”

Lord Hornless sent a secret message to one of the Celestial Captives, a Supreme Saint in the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm.

That Supreme Saint in the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm was a purple beast from the Demon God realm of Celestial Court. Its upper body looked like a human, and its lower body had elephant-like legs. It is tall and sturdy.

The purple beast held a war hammer that it had taken from a cultivator from the Infernal Court. It led more than 300 Supreme Saint Celestial Captives and charged toward Zhang Ruochen and Yan Huangtu.

Lord Hornless stayed where he was and carefully observed the Albajade Tree.

With a flash, he hid on a branch. The branch was as thick as a river and was crystal white.

After a while, spatial fluctuations appeared again.

Under the leadership of Pan Ruo, Wujiang, and Supreme Saint Yuanfei, more than 1,000 Supreme Saints from the three upper clans arrived at the same time. Each of them was like a divine soldier and a heavenly general. Their saint might be unparalleled.

Supreme Saint Yuan Fei scanned the entire starry sky. He had a general understanding of the current situation.

“This is bad,” Supreme Saint Yuan Fei said. “Half of the Supreme Saint Celestial Captives have gone to kill Zhang Ruochen! They’re no match for Zhang Ruochen. They’re just giving him points.”

Wujiang fixed his gaze on Zhang Ruochen. “We can’t let Zhang Ruochen continue collecting points,” he said in a deep voice. “Otherwise, the Immortal Vampires will sit firmly at the top of the ten clans.”

Wujiang took out the Myriad Curse Bead and held it in his right palm.

Beside him, Pan Ruo asked in confusion, “Where did Lord Hornless go?”

Supreme Saint Yuan Fei and Wujiang’s hearts sank. They realized that something was wrong.

Whoosh

A brilliant colorful light appeared above their heads. Powerful Sword Qi slashed down.

Lord Hornless stood on the branch of the jade tree. The Pentastone Sword in his hand became hundreds of miles long. Like a colorful sacred river, it fell into the camp of the three upper clans’ Supreme Saints.

Normally, the three upper clans had many Supreme Saints. No matter how high Lord Hornless’s cultivation was or how powerful the Pentastone Sword was, he could easily neutralize them.

However, right now, they had just teleported over. Their formation was not stable and they did not expect to be ambushed by a Banshi Isshou Realm Supreme Saint. Of course, they did not have the time to join forces to defend.

CRACK!

CRACK!

...

Dozens of the three upper clans’ Supreme Saints were crushed by the Supreme Power of the Pentastone Sword.

There were also nearly a hundred Supreme Saints who screamed and were sent flying. Their injuries were severe.

With just one sword strike, they were able to achieve such a spectacular result. The three upper clans’ Supreme Saints were all shocked by the battle prowess of the Banshi Isshou Realm Supreme Saint before them. They all retreated.

“Be careful, Lord Hornless is hiding in the tree.” Supreme Saint Yuan Fei shouted.

Supreme Saint Yuan Fei was shocked. He and the 10 or so Supreme Saints beside him immediately held up?The Scroll of Truth and Deceit. The scroll spread out and extended for hundreds of miles. It turned into a layer of defensive light.

Wujiang’s eyes were cold. He summoned the power of the Myriad Curse Bead and started to curse Lord Hornless.

Lord Hornless laughed. His body became blurry and he charged into the depths of the tree branch.

The Albajade Tree was the true body of the Madre Bloody Shadow. There were more than 100,000 branches and they crisscrossed with each other. Once one hid within it, it was like a drop of water that dripped into the ocean. It was extremely difficult to find it.

The Supreme Saints of the three upper clans did not dare to recklessly chase after it.

“What do we do now?” said the Supreme Saints of the three upper clans.

Everyone present turned their gaze at Pan Ruo, Wujiang, and Supreme Saint Yuan Fei.

Pan Ruo stared at the scattered branches of the jade tree. The branches looked dense, but in reality, the two closest branches were dozens of miles apart. The furthest branches could reach hundreds of miles.

The gap between the branches was wide.

Pan Ruo said, “Just now, I used the Path of Destiny to predict. Within that jade tree doesn’t only have Lord Hornless. There are dozens of Immortal Vampires and the rest of the Immortal Vampires on them. As long as we kill them, the Immortal Vampires’ points will be halved.”

Then, Pan Ruo continued, “Everyone should have seen the data on the diamond-shaped mirror. Lord Hornless’s points have increased to 30 million. As long as we kill him and the Immortal Vampires, both the Nether Clan and the Deathkins will have a chance to take the second place among the ten clans.”

“I’m willing to lead the Nether Clan Supreme Saints to exterminate Lord Hornless and kill all the Immortal Vampires.”

“I’m willing to lead the Deathkin Supreme Saint in.”

Wujiang and Supreme Saint Yuan Fei spoke almost at the same time.

Both of them looked at each other in surprise.

Wujiang snorted coldly. “You think you can kill Lord Hornless alone?”

Supreme Saint Yuan Fei smiled, “Doesn’t the Ten Thousand Hands Supreme Saint want to kill Zhang Ruochen? Zhang Ruochen had the Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill, Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill, and two Supreme Artifacts. If the Ten Thousand Hands Supreme Saint uses the Path of Darkness to devour Zhang Ruochen, he might have a chance to fuse the Grade Two Saintwill.”

Wujiang’s expression changed.

“There are more than 300 Supreme Saint Celestial Captives who want to kill Zhang Ruochen,” Supreme Saint Yuan Fei said. “I’m afraid they will have more than 20 million points.”

After careful analysis, Wujiang finally made a decision. He raised his voice and said, “Supreme Saints of the Nether Clan, listen up. Go and kill the group of Celestial Captives charging at Zhang Ruochen as fast as you can. Make sure to kill them all.”

Swoosh

Before he could finish his words, Wujiang turned into a streak of lightning and flew over first.

A large group of Supreme Saints of the Nether Clan followed closely behind.

The corners of Supreme Saint Yuan Fei’s lips curled up as he looked at them.

The 300 Supreme Saint Celestial Captives seemed to be easier to deal with than Lord Hornless. However, Supreme Saint Yuan Fei knew that they were chosen by Lord Hornless and most of them were determined to die.

The Nether Clan Supreme Saints would have to pay a huge price to surround them.

As for finding Lord Hornless and killing him, Supreme Saint Yuan Fei had his own methods.

Supreme Saint Yuan Fei looked at Pan Ruo and clasped his hands together. He smiled and said, “Your Highness, please use your Path of Destiny to find the position of Lord Hornless and the Immortal Vampires Supreme Saints. We, the Deathkins, will deal with them.”

“Alright!” Pan Ruo said.

Que, who was standing not too far away from Pan Ruo, revealed a strange expression. He looked at Supreme Saint Yuan Fei and was curious. How did this cultivator, who was much weaker than Wujiang, dare to kill Lord Hornless?

Although he was curious, he did not ask.

‘Perhaps I will have to act up in the end,’ Que thought to himself.
