When he was completely healed, Zhang Ruochen took out the Amazing Saint Fruit and swallowed it.

Boom!

The power of the Amazing Saint Fruit was countless times stronger than the Heartmoon Saint Fruit. As soon as it entered his throat, the wild power surged within him. Like a tide, it flooded into his meridians and organs.

Zhang Ruochen’s meridians and Saintly Meridians swelled. Like a dozen dragons hiding under his skin, they shone with purple light.

The specks of light in the Amazing Saint Fruit transformed into worm-like Rules of Saintly Way. They flooded into his Sea of Qi and melted into the Heaven Pass River, broadening it.

Another purple Qi current entered his saint origin and started refining the saint soul.

At the same time, two more bursts of energy melted into his physical body and saint heart.

Zhang Ruochen’s Spiritual Power improved at every moment. It was like exercising in fire, becoming even stronger and more resilient.

He sat cross-legged on the ground. As his technique operated, even the Unmovable Emperor Ming Figure came out. It was hundreds of feet tall. With its powerful figure, it even scared the corpses outside the temple into silence.

Gradually, Zhang Ruochen absorbed all of the fruit’s power.

In my Heaven Pass River, there are 20,372 Rules of Saintly Way. My meridians and Saintly Meridians have expanded by one-fourth; my Spiritual Power and saintly soul have been strengthened too.

Zhang Ruochen’s skin was purple-gold with a metallic sheen.

He raised his arm slightly and his bones cracked with a thunderous boom. He punched without using any spells and a corpse outside the temple flew countless feet away, cracking into multiple pieces.

Xiang Chunan’s dark face arrived over, asking, “How are you?”

“Not bad.” Zhang Ruochen smiled. Collecting his purple-gold sheen, he stood up and said, “Come. Let’s go try activating the transfer formation.”

The two rose and entered the formation.

Zhang Ruochen’s face was serious and cautious. He released his spatial domain to cover the entire formation so accidents wouldn’t happen during the transfer.

Then he activated his Holy Qi, sending it into every joint in the formation.

This place was possibly a zone that was both real and intangible, so they might not be able to teleport away. If anything happened during the transfer, it would be terrifying.

They must take every precaution.

Whoosh!

A blinding glow shot out of the spatial formation. Zhang Ruochen’s group disappeared from the temple.

Cultivators couldn’t sense anything outside the formation during the transfer. But, as a space manipulator, Zhang Ruochen knew that they entered a void during the transfer.

There was a point in the void that connected to another spatial coordinate.

This time, it was a one-way transfer. The coordinate that Zhang Ruochen had chosen was the exit of the cave that they’d entered the forbidden zone in. When he’d come, he’d calculated the orientation and distance between the two, so he had some confidence.

Boom!

Suddenly, the formation patterns under their feet shook violently.

A bit nervous, Xiang Chunan asked, “What just happened?”

Zhang Ruochen’s expression was serious. “I think we crashed into an obstacle, but how could this be? This shouldn’t happen in a void.”

The Psychic Sage was terrified. “This is a forbidden zone. You can’t go at will even with spatial power. Let’s hurry back. We can stay alive even if we’re trapped there. If the formation patterns under our feet shatter, we’ll fall into the void and die with no burial spot.”

Boom!

The formation patterns shook violently again.

A boundless aura also appeared above their heads, making Xiang Chunan and the Psychic Sage change their expressions.

Xiang Chunan looked up. Two beams of light flew out of his eyes. He seemed to see something terrifying and said with a trembling voice, “A hand-shaped mountain...is hovering over our heads... So scary...”

“How is that possible? There’s nothing tangible in the void.”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t believe it. He reached his hands out and pushed aside the light curtain. He looked up and gasped. “That’s...”

It wasn’t a huge mountain above their heads. It was a broken hand the size of a mountain that hovered in the void without perishing.

“That’s a god’s hand.” Zhang Ruochen held his breath. He could only hear his racing heart.

He was sure that it was a god’s aura.

The god’s hand was so huge that it was countless times larger than the average mountain. It hovered a thousand miles above their heads and was terrifying. The aura radiating from it was much scarier than the aura of the god’s corpse that Zhang Ruochen had seen before.

Strands of Qi currents flowed out of the hand. Each current fell down like a waterfall, forming terrifying “waterfalls” of Qi.

The formation patterns were blocked by one of the vapor waterfalls, so it couldn’t continue.

The Psychic Sage clenched its jaw while its tongue moved. “Can we retreat?” it asked timidly.

Xiang Chunan looked around with a look of despair. “I’m afraid not. There’s a vapor waterfall all around us. It blocked our path forward and also our way out.”

Boom!

The formation pattern underfoot was broken by a beam of Qi.

“Ah...we’re dead... Junior sister...”

“Amazing, amazing, I don’t want to die...”

Xiang Chunan and the Psychic Sage both closed their eyes and screamed.

They thought that they’d get torn apart by the void instantly and turn into nothingness.

A beat later, they opened their eyes one after another and discovered with a shock that they didn’t die. Instead, they hovered in the void.

The Psychic Sage looked at its hands and laughed maniacally. “Haha, my cultivation is amazing. I can move easily even in the void. Who can kill me now?”

“The void isn’t as scary as rumors say.” Xiang Chunan started laughing too.

Zhang Ruochen’s voice traveled into their ears. “You’re inside my spatial domain now. It’s best to not move around. If you move out of the spatial domain, even I won’t be able to save you.”

The Psychic Sage and Xiang Chunan were both terrified. They hurried to Zhang Ruochen’s side and hugged him tightly.

The spatial domain was like a mini space that could hover in the void. Of course, with Zhang Ruochen’s current cultivation, his spatial domain was still very weak. It could collapse with the smallest collision.

Zhang Ruochen’s Spiritual Power was pulled taut. He controlled the spatial domain and continuously used Spatial Moves to hurry toward the set coordinate.

When they met the vapor waterfalls, Xiang Chunan and the Psychic Sage activated the metal hat to tear a crack open with the Absolute Saint power.

The longer they stayed in the void, the more that Zhang Ruochen felt the void eat away at his spatial domain.

It shrunk more and more.

“Hurry, hurry, hurry.”

Zhang Ruochen hurried forward with all his might. Sweat poured down like rain. Finally, a speck of light appeared in the pitch-black void.

In the last moment, just as the void was about to swallow up Zhang Ruochen’s spatial domain, he crashed toward the speck of light.

Whoosh!

Zhang Ruochen, Xiang Chunan, and the Psychic Sage disappeared from the void. The world spun topsy-turvy and they appeared in another pitch-black world. They were plummeting.

Boom, boom.

They landed on the ground one after another, dizzy from the fall.

The Psychic Sage was crushed on the bottom, but instead of crying out, it laughed loudly. “Amazing, amazing. We finally escaped from the void. It feels great to fall heavily.”

Zhang Ruochen stood up. Stepping on the firm ground, he also smiled.

“Isn’t it too early for you to be happy?”

A cold voice sounded in the darkness.

Crackle, crackle.

A pair of red wings appeared. It hovered a dozen meters away and was moving over gradually.

Zhang Ruochen looked around. This was the exit of the cave in the forbidden zone. In the distance, the red wings set off strong Saintly Way ripples. Light footsteps sounded too.

“Very strong cultivation.”

Zhang Ruochen put his smile away. He put his right arm behind his back and formed a spatial crack in his palm.

Xiang Chunan had the Thousand-Mile Vision, so he saw more clearly than Zhang Ruochen. “It’s you, bird person!” he yelled. “Pretty strong, huh. You actually escaped from the palace cluster.”

Gradually, Nie Zhan, the four-winged red angel, appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s vision.

Nie Zhan and Xiang Chunan had fought in the palace cluster, so he knew that this Dark Fool was very strong.

However, Nie Zhan hadn’t used his hidden card yet. He was confident that he could repress Xiang Chunan, so he walked over calmly.

Nie Zhan saw the Psychic Sage standing beside Zhang Ruochen. Joy and greed appeared in his red eyes. “Give me the Psychic Sage,” he ordered.

His strong saintly might didn’t intimidate Zhang Ruochen.

“Go!” Zhang Ruochen said to the Psychic Sage. “Do what you must. Do I have to teach you?”

Half of its soul was in Zhang Ruochen’s hands, so the Psychic Sage had no right to fight back. It sighed before standing up straight and walking toward Nie Zhan.

Seeing this strange scene, Nie Zhan actually felt unsettled. “Halt.”

“Why?” the Psychic Sage asked firmly. Its voice was even louder than Nie Zhan’s voice. It continued walking.

It felt stranger and stranger to Nie Zhan. He raised his blood-red sword. Sharp Sword Qi flew out of his sword and he repeated, “Stop immediately.”

The Psychic Sage stopped and said with annoyance, “You wanted me, but now you don’t anymore. Why are you so whimsical?”

Nie Zhan sensed a dangerous aura in the Psychic Sage. After a moment of thought, he took out a Saint-binding Chain. Shaking his wrist, he sent it out, wrapping toward the Psychic Sage.

“Mountain-Moving Print.”

Two gusts of purple Qi flew out of the Psychic Sage’s sleeves and condensed into a purple cloud. Thousands of Rules of Saintly Way flew out of its palm, becoming one with the purple cloud. Then it created a print spell that attacked Nie Zhan.

Nie Zhan’s expression changed. He immediately threw away the Saint-binding Chain. Grabbing his sword with both hands, he brought it down.

Thud!

In that clash, Nie Zhan was sent flying by the Psychic Sage’s print spell. Many red feathers fell down.

Whoosh!

Taking advantage of this, Zhang Ruochen swung his arm. The spatial crack in his hand flew toward Nie Zhan in a beautiful arc.
