Wargod Bloodximius and Blood Empress flew to the top of the dark star at once.

Blood Empress was concerned. She grabbed Zhang Ruochen’s right wrist and mobilized divine force and blood Qi into him. It continues to help him heal his injuries and dissolve the dark power that had invaded his body.

Yan Wushen’s last attack was terrifying. His power had almost reached the level of a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint.

Wargod Bloodximius was floating mid-air with his hands behind his back. His temperament was imposing but he wasn’t angry. He was observing Zhang Ruochen and discovered that Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were red and evil Qi was overflowing from his body. Five-element Chaotic saint Qi in his body had turned into blood force. Zhang Ruochen was in a state of bedevilment.

The aura of humans was almost completely devoured by the aura of Immortal Vampires.

Wargod Bloodximius didn’t mind if Zhang Ruochen had completely become an Immortal Vampire.

However, he was worried that Zhang Ruochen’s mind and will weren’t compatible with Immortal Vampires. If Zhang Ruochen was forcefully changed, he wouldn’t become an Immortal Vampire, but a crazy demon who had lost his mind.

“He refined Pale Blood Soil. He can heal himself no matter how serious his injuries are. However, his inner demon has completely erupted and occupied his mind. The most important thing now is to send him to Fortune Palace. Only Path of Destiny can suppress his inner demon.” Wargod Bloodximius didn’t keep quiet about it, he deliberately let the surrounding gods hear him.

Blood Empress was shocked. She said telepathically, “Send him to Fortune Palace and let Path of Destiny suppress the inner demon in his body? No, absolutely not.”

Blood Empress had once summoned Zhang Ruochen’s soul and helped him fuse with his body from his previous life. She knew that there were many secrets in his body that could not be known to outsiders.

Wargod Bloodximius knew Blood Empress’s worries, “I know that Zhang Ruochen must have an incredible treasure in his body. But a deity wouldn’t be interested in the things of a junior. Even the seedling of Divine Sky-connecting Tree, Qiankun Realm, and the fallen Sundial are nothing in the eyes of a deity.”

Blood Empress still didn’t agree, Wargod Bloodximius said again, “The inner demon corrodes the spiritual will. Outsiders can’t help at all. Only Path of Destiny can suppress it. If we don’t want Zhang Ruochen to fall into the abyss of the inner demon, we have no choice… Eh…”

Wargod Bloodximius was suddenly surprised. He looked at Zhang Ruochen again.

Zhang Ruochen’s blood-red eyes faded slightly.

The bloodlines on the ten golden wings gradually disappeared. They were no longer as evil as before.

“Chen’er’s spiritual will is strong. The inner demon has been suppressed by him,”

Blood Empress was overjoyed. She released her spiritual power and turned into dense light spots like fireflies, enveloping Zhang Ruochen’s body.

The spiritual power of a god could affect a Supreme Saint’s inner demon to a certain extent.

She cried softly, “Wake up.”

These two words contained Blood Empress’ entire life of spiritual power. It was like a heavenly incantation, shaking Zhang Ruochen’s sea of consciousness and deterring the demonic barrier in his heart. All the distracting thoughts dispersed.

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes gradually regained clarity. The chaotic power surrounding his body was all absorbed into his body.

“Chen’er!” Blood Empress called out softly.

Zhang Ruochen turned his head and stared at Blood Empress as if he had returned from a daze. He hesitated for a moment and said, “Mother, where is this place?”

Blood Empress narrowed her eyes and asked doubtfully, “You don’t remember anything from before?”

Zhang Ruochen thought about it carefully and shook his head gently.

Blood Empress said, “Your consciousness was invaded by the inner demon. Then a life-and-death battle broke out between you and Yan Wushen. This is the void space.”

“A life-and-death battle? I remember… Today is the day Princess Luo Sha and I are engaged. How could the inner demon suddenly invade? What about the inner demon now? Was it suppressed by mother and grandfather?”

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were puzzled. As he spoke, he coughed violently. His entire body was weak and he couldn’t even maintain his Hundred-Shackle Realm cultivation. He looked like he was about to fall.

He quickly looked at his insides and found that his body was covered in wounds.

His blood, Saint Meridians, Meridians, internal organs, bones, even his Sainthood Source, sea of Qi, and Saint Soul all had dense and tiny cracks. The cracks contained the purest Power of Darkness, power of Origin, Buddha Might, and Yama Qi.

Power of Darkness was the strongest.

Blood Empress supported Zhang Ruochen and said, “You were the one who suppressed the inner demon. My spiritual power only helped a little.”

“Where’s Yan Wushen?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Blood Empress said, “He’s dead.”

Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen stood there for a long time. He looked around and let out a long sigh.

Wargod Bloodximius stood aside and looked at Zhang Ruochen carefully. His eyes were as deep as an endless pool of blood.

Logically speaking, it was impossible for him to recover his own strength after being corrupted by the inner demon. He knew that Zhang Ruochen had great perseverance.

However, some things couldn’t be endured with perseverance.

“Let’s go. This is not a place to talk. Let’s find a place to heal first. Otherwise, there will be hidden dangers that can never be cured,” said Wargod Bloodximius.

Zhang Ruochen shook his head, “I can still bear the injuries. However, today is the day of the engagement. I must go immediately. I can not break my promise. Otherwise, it will damage the face of Fukurokuju and the royal family of Devala. It will also hurt Luo Sha.”

Finally, Wargod Bloodximius showed a satisfied look. He nodded and said, “Very good. Being responsible is the most basic thing a man should have. Let’s go!”

After Wargod Bloodximius, Blood Empress, and Zhang Ruochen left the void space, the shadow of Wu Qingzong appeared in the sky above the dark star. He stared at the star for a moment. Then, he rolled up his sleeve, took the dark star away, and disappeared.

“Two Yuanhui-level geniuses. One has fallen, and the other must soar to the sky and become the leader of this era. Zhang Ruochen, oh Zhang Ruochen.” Asurendra Barasingha sighed and gradually disappeared.

Ghost Master’s eyes changed. Then, he waved his sleeve, broke through the void space, and flew back to Divine Domain of Destiny.

Supreme Saint Yuanfei’s eyes narrowed, “Zhang Ruochen killed Yan Wushen. His power has reached his peak. In his desperate state, he can almost challenge a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint. It seems that only sister can take revenge for seventh brother.”

Lord Yuan Tian was silent.

Yuan Shu’s beautiful eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky. She stared at Supreme Saint Yuanfei and said, “Revenge? Why do you want revenge?”

Supreme Saint Yuanfei was stunned. He quickly said, “Seventh brother lost his life in Zhang Ruochen’s hands. We have to take revenge. Zhang Ruochen has to bear the responsibility for Deathkin’s failure on the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting. How can we let him off so easily?”

Yuan Shu patted Supreme Saint Yuanfei on the shoulder and said earnestly, “It’s different now.”

Supreme Saint Yuanfei only felt that Yuan Shu’s palm was as heavy as a mountain. Every slap seemed to be able to shatter his Neverwither physique.

Just as it was about to land, all the power was withdrawn in an instant.

Yuan Shu said, “Zhang Ruochen’s lot has been cast. Now, whoever dares to touch him in Infernal Court will definitely provoke Xue Jue Family and the royal family of Devala to take revenge. How many forces do you think can withstand their anger? Wu Qingzong has already chosen to remain silent. Why should we go against them? We can’t afford to offend them.”

Supreme Saint Yuanfei wanted to say something, but he hesitated. He wasn’t willing to give up.

Lord Yuan Shu said, “The three slaps I gave you just now, each one of them is comparable to Zhang Ruochen’s full-strength attack. Think carefully. Seventh brother was too weak, it was fate that he died on the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting. Don’t mention the word ‘revenge’ again. Be careful not to get yourself killed.”

“Thank you for your teachings, sister.”

Supreme Saint Yuanfei cupped his hands and bowed slightly.

Yuan Shu nodded slightly, and said, “However, Zhang Ruochen is too outstanding and has too many treasures. He had been targeted by many forces. Although we don’t dare to touch him, there are still people who dare to. Whether or not he can become a god alive is still unknown.”

After the shadows of the gods disappeared.

Yan Yu and Lady Fu Xiang walked out with Dark Parasol of Obfuscatory in hand.

Their faces were still filled with surprise.

Lady Fu Xiang’s beauty was comparable to Yuan Shu, like a fairy in a painting, her red lips opened slightly. “Yan Wushen and Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation hasn’t reached the Great Perfection of Hundred-Shackle Realm, yet they are so powerful. Fortunately, Zhang Ruochen killed Yan Wushen. Otherwise, I suspect that my arrow from 10,000 miles away might not have been able to kill him.”

Yan Yu was handsome and ethereal, “Lady Wind was assassinated by the gods of Avīci Pavilion. Yan Wushen died in the battle of life and death. I have a feeling that the peace of the various clans in Infernal Court will soon be broken. Zhang Ruochen might very well be the person standing in the center of the whirlpool.”

The various clans in Infernal Court!

It was not the ten clans of Infernal Court.

The ten clans in Infernal Court were only the ten largest clans that holds all the power. In addition, there were many small clans.

For example, Evarcha Culicivoras, Dracula Ant Clan, Calyptra Moth Clan, and so on were affiliated with Immortal Vampires.

Even among Immortal Vampires, there were more than ten great clans and countless small clans.

“Is that so? The good thing in these troubled times is that the strong will be born. Someone should have appeared to break the peace a long time ago. The Tower of Eminence, Afterglow Sprite Valley, the outer realm of the Searock Asterism¹, and the Cumulonimbus.

“I want to catch the stars in heaven, but the road to divinity is long. When can I expect it?” Lady Fu Xiang’s long hair fluttered in the wind. Carrying a crystal longbow, her figure of a meteor-like white light flew out of the void space.

Yan Yu followed closely.

There are very few under divinity who can enter and leave the void as they do.

….

….

Fortune Palace.

The representatives of the major forces were all shocked by the news of “The assassination of Lady Wind” and “The life-and-death battle between Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen”.

“Avīci Pavilion is too impudent. They dare to assassinate the new Destiny Scioness. They are clearly provoking Fane of Destiny. In my opinion, we should mobilize all our forces, flatten them, and kill them all without mercy.”

“The Master of Avīci Pavilion is very secretive. His cultivation is unfathomable. It is said that he has beheaded a god.”

“What do you think Avīci Pavilion is trying to do by killing Kagesawa Fuurei?”

“Zhang Ruochen is also making a mess. He actually went to fight Yan Wushen on his engagement day. Isn’t he afraid of angering Reverend?”

“What’s there to be afraid of? If Zhang Ruochen dies in battle, Why would Reverend blame him? If Yan Wushen dies in battle, Zhang Ruochen will be the only supreme figure in this Yuanhui period. If so, Reverend won’t be too harsh on him.”

Wargod Bloodximius and Luo Yan had made friends all over the world. The representatives of the forces who had come to attend the engagement ceremony were numerous and all well-known. Without the cultivation of a Supreme Saint, they couldn’t enter the outer hall of the palace.

The area that stretched for dozens of miles was brightly lit. Countless powerful figures had gathered.

Luo Sha was gorgeous while wearing a phoenix red brocade dress. Accompanied by dozens of Saint-level maids, she stood motionlessly in front of the palace. Her eyes were filled with worry while she looked into the endless darkness.

It was as if she had become a stone that’s waiting for her partner.

News of the battle between Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen kept coming back.

“Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen have entered the void space. They’re going to fight to the death.”

After receiving this news, Luo Sha desperately wanted to rush over and stop the two from continuing the battle.

She knew very well that once they entered the void space to fight, the chances of them dying together were very high.

Unfortunately, because of the “New Scioness’s death”, the gods were summoned to Mount Destiny by Fukurokuju. Luo Sha wanted to enter the void space, but there was no way in.

Luo Sheng Tian brought an army and returned to Fortune Palace.

Luo Sha moved towards him and asked anxiously, “Is there any result?”

Luo Sheng Tian shrugged and spread his hands, “I can’t enter the void space either. How can I know the fate of those two psychopaths? However, Yan Wushen’s Path of Origin has a certain restraining effect on the void space. Fighting in the void space would give him a big advantage.”

Luo Sha’s heart sank.

Pan Ruo stood in the brightly lit courtyard, surrounded by people. However, she felt that she was the only one in the world. She was exceptionally cold and lonely.

When the news of Lady Wind’s assassination came, she already knew what Zhang Ruochen wanted to do.

“Didn’t you say that you’ve already cut off all ties? Why are you still doing this? Why? It’s not worth it.”

Pan Ruo’s eyes were misty. She muttered, “You must come back alive! Otherwise… everything will be meaningless!”

After drinking a lot of wine, Warlord Mara staggered to Luo Sha and Luo Shengtian, he said with his tongue slurred, “Princess… Princess, I think Zhang Ruochen clearly doesn’t care about you. If he… if he cares about you, how could he fight to the death on the day of the engagement? How about… How about marrying me instead?”

Luo Sha was nervous and worried. How could she care about him?

Luo Shengtian rolled his eyes. Even if my sister didn’t marry Zhang Ruochen, how could you, Warlord Mara be worthy to marry her?

However, Warlord Mara’s previous words hit the nail on the head. Zhang Ruochen had fought with Yan Wushen on the day of the engagement and left his sister and countless cultivators at the ceremony. He was indeed a bastard.

Even though his mother had sided with Zhang Ruochen and put in a good word for him, Luo Shengtian was still very dissatisfied.

Luo Shengtian let out a long breath of resentment, he said gently to Luo Sha, “Forget it. Let everyone go. Let’s not talk about whether Zhang Ruochen will come back or not. Even if he wins, it will most likely be a pyrrhic victory. How would he come to the engagement?”

Luo Sha stood still, apparently not listening to him.

Luo Shengtian said again, “The new Scioness has fallen. Reverend and father must be busy with this matter. I’m afraid they won’t be able to attend the engagement ceremony. Sister, there’s no need to wait any longer!”

“Zhang Ruochen said that he will protect me for the rest of my life. He won’t let me down. I believe him!” Luo Sha said firmly.

Luo Shengtian grinned and thought to himself, how could she believe such nonsense? His sister must have lost her mind because of Zhang Ruochen.

Swoosh!

The space shook violently.

A Dimensional Gate was torn open by the divine light.

Zhang Ruochen walked out of the Dimensional Gate and appeared in front of Luo Sha. Although his face was pale, his posture was outstanding. He smiled and said, “Luo Sha, I’m here!”
