 Xuan Disha wasn’t in a hurry to show up. He planned to take a look.

Since he was known as a Yuanhui-level genius and was valued by many important figures, his behavior and methods shouldn’t be as simple as they seemed. He could take a look.

At least for now, the old emperor, who had lived for nearly 30,000 years, hadn’t seen through Zhang Ruochen.

Thank you for reading on myReadNovelFull.me

Among the ten clans in Infernal Court, the Immortal Vampires had ten great clans, the Rakshasas had seven kingdoms, and the Asuras had 24 fanes.

Although countless forces within the Deathkins had established kingdoms, ancient clans, sacred cities, fanes… none of them could reach the level of the ten great clans of the Immortal Vampires.

Because of this, the Deathkins were instead unified. The Fane of Death had absolute authority and dominance.

As for the Immortal Vampires, their clans could fight against the Fane of Death. They didn’t have to obey everything and listen to orders everywhere.

The Fane of Death was filled with powerhouses. Just the Supreme Saints they sent to the Royal City of Hundred Clans alone was enough to shake the heavens and earth.

Tian Shuzi was one of them.

Tian Shuzi was originally a guest in the Sengens’ sacred ground. When he heard the news of Que Shenzi’s defeat, his killing intent soared to the heavens as he threw his cup down.

Princess Xue Lai of the Sengens personally drove the carriage for him. The nine silver foxes pulled him. The Supreme Saints of the Fane of Death retreated to the sides. They let the saint carriage rush to the front of the Sevenstar Imperial Palace.

Tian Shuzi was handsome and had an extraordinary bearing.

Princess Xue Lai, known as one of the ten beauties at the edge of the Infernal Court, was gentle and beautiful. She had an extraordinary temperament. A few days ago, she had invited Zhang Ruochen to the Sengens’ sacred ground on behalf of the Sengens. However, he ignored her. She was somewhat annoyed.

Today, she personally brought Tian Shuzi here. Naturally, she wanted revenge.

Tian Shuzi stood on the carriage and said, “Your highness was humiliated in front of Zhang Ruochen’s Sevenstar Imperial Palace. Today, I’ll teach him a lesson. Let him know not to be too arrogant.”

Princess Xue Lai’s face was flawless white. No emotions could be seen. She said lightly, “You can’t blame the Supreme Saint Ruochen. The Sengens were too presumptuous. Since they invited such a distinguished guest, it’s only right for the emperor to come personally.”

Tian Shuzi smiled coldly and got off the carriage.

In a low voice, Yuan Benji walked over immediately and told him what had happened.

Tian Shuzi nodded and said, “There’s no need to worry. Since I’m here, I can’t let Zhang Ruochen continue to show off.”

Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power was extreme. Naturally, he heard their conversation and understood. No wonder many cultivators in the Royal City of Hundred Clans didn’t like him. It turned out that he had offended all the cultivators who had come to visit him during his enlightenment!

He really shouldn’t have!

If he had time, he must go to all the clans and give them a gift of apology.

Tian Shuzi was obviously an incredible person. Even though the four Banshi Isshou Realm Supreme Saints had been captured, he was still calm. He shouted confidently, “Zhang Ruochen, do you dare to fight again? A real fight to resolve our enmity.”

Zhang Ruochen said, “Can you represent the Fane of Death?”

“Of course! If you beat me, all the enmity between you and the Fane of Death will be written off,” Tian Shuzi said.

Zhang Ruochen sighed softly. “To be honest, Que Shenzi said the same thing. But the Fane of Death likes to go back on their words. How can I trust you?”

The Supreme Saints of the Fane of Death weren’t embarrassed by this. Instead, their eyes became even colder.

If Zhang Ruochen didn’t have a hostage, they would have attacked together and destroyed the Sevenstar Imperial Palace. Why would they waste so much time talking to him?

Tian Shuzi said, “I, Tian Shuzi, am a disciple of King Vipralopa. For the sake of my master’s reputation, I won’t go back on my words.”

Lian Xi transmitted her voice to Zhang Ruochen. “Don’t believe him. He’s trying to lure you out of the Sevenstar Imperial Palace’s defense array.”

Most cultivators present could see Tian Shuzi’s intentions. They all guessed that Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t fall for it.

He had four hostages in the Banshi Isshou Realm. He was already invincible. Why take the risk to fight Tian Shuzi?

Besides, Tian Shuzi was an influential figure. He was one of the cultivators with the greatest potential in the Fane of Death. He had entered the fifth floor of the Death God Pavilion. Zhang Ruochen would have no chance of winning if he fought with him.

“Hatred is the root of all evil. If I have a chance to resolve it, I will do my best to resolve it.”

Zhang Ruochen said something that shocked everyone. Then, he looked at Tian Shuzi and said, “Okay, I’ll trust you this time.”

Lian Xi felt that Zhang Ruochen had become different after coming out of the Qiankun Realm. How could he be so stupid? Also, how could he say something like “Hatred is the root of all evil”?

Lian Xi glanced at the Supreme Saints of the Fane of Death and said loudly, “If anything happens to Zhang Ruochen, I’ll kill the four of them immediately.”

She had no choice. Zhang Ruochen was courting death, but she had to stay rational.

If Zhang Ruochen got himself killed, then what about her?

Zhang Ruochen, who had just walked out of the defense array, immediately stopped. He shook his head at Lian Xi and said, “Killing will only deepen the hatred. Don’t do it! Don’t worry. I’m confident in this battle.”

Pan Ruo, who was standing on the balcony, frowned deeply.

She could see that Zhang Ruochen was sincere and wanted to resolve the hatred and conflict with the Fane of Death.

That was the strangest thing!

“What happened to him?” Pan Ruo was deeply worried. She was afraid that something had happened to Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation and that he would fall into the inner demon without realizing it.

She was also afraid that Zhang Ruochen had been possessed by a god, which was why his temperament had significantly changed.

The more Pan Ruo thought about it, the more uneasy she became.

However, no matter how uneasy and worried she was, she could not show up at this moment. Pan Ruo could only wait until this was over before she could test him and understand the situation.

‘Calm down, don’t panic.’ Pan Ruo thought.

Que sensed Pan Ruo’s emotional fluctuation. He looked sideways and then moved away without deliberately asking.

The battle between Zhang Ruochen and Tian Shuzi broke out in an instant.

The Myriad Curse Bead shone brightly. Under the control of Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power, it casts the Curse of Dark and Light.

A layer of dark purple light trapped Tian Shuzi.

“Break it.”

Tian Shuzi stood still. Five trillion precepts surged out of his body. They turned into a Precept Domain filled with a corrosive, broken, and destructive aura. Green tombstones rose up in the Precept Domain. The tombstones were engraved with Divine Marks. It was as if a living god was suppressed under the tombstones. Their momentum was robust.

Boom

The Curse of Dark and Light, which had always been peerless, was broken by the Precept Domain.

The Supreme Saints of the Fane of Death all cheered.

A ripple of light appeared in Princess Xue Lai’s beautiful eyes. Since Zhang Ruochen’s most powerful trump card had been broken, there should be no suspense in this battle.

Tian Shuzi waved his right hand lightly.

Countless precepts transformed into the extremely scorching Golden Flare. Three layers of fire waves formed in a row and swept toward Zhang Ruochen.

The Golden Flare that he had cultivated had also reached the tenth level. It was a Paramount-level saint technique.

However, the temperature was over 100,000 levels. It was used more subtly than Que Shenzi. It filled up all the space and didn’t give Zhang Ruochen any chance to escape.

“Suck it all in!”

Zhang Ruochen removed the Violet Gourd and kept the surging Golden Flare into the calabash.

Tian Shuzi’s eyes turned cold. He allowed Zhang Ruochen to take the divine flame away. His body flew toward Zhang Ruochen like a leaf in the wind. He controlled the fire with one hand and put the other behind his back. He formed a Death Sigil.

The power and light of the divine flame were enough to cover his aura and body.

When he was only 30 feet away from Zhang Ruochen, he waved his hand and made a print.

His movements were graceful and smooth like flowing water.

As soon as the sigil was formed, it was like Death reaching out his giant rotten hand. The sigil’s killing intent was sharper than that of a Regal Artifact.

“It’s over!” Tianshuzi thought to himself.

However, contrary to Tianshuzi’s expectations, the sigil, which could shatter the stars, fell into a distorted space after it was unleashed. His arm felt like it was about to be broken, and he felt intense pain.

Tian Shuzi’s face changed. He couldn’t figure out how Zhang Ruochen could still distort space under the suppression of his five trillion precepts.

Logically speaking, he should be the ruler of this space.

Boom

Zhang Ruochen wore the Armor of the Fire God in the surging divine flames. He struck out a palm print with 30 times the attack power, colliding with Tian Shuzi’s Death Sigil.

Obviously, Zhang Ruochen had seen through Tian Shuzi’s strategy. While collecting the Golden Flare, he put his other hand behind his back and formed the Dragon-Tiger Prajna Strike.

Around the palm print, a dazzling Light of Truth appeared. A universe appeared in the light, with countless stars floating in it.

It flashed and then disappeared.

Tian Shuzi flew back and landed on the ground, leaving big footprints. Finally, he crashed into Princess Xue Lai’s carriage and stopped.

The saint carriage almost fell over. Princess Xue Lai, who was sitting on it, almost fell down. She looked terrible.

Blood was dripping from Tian Shuzi’s left hand. He looked at Zhang Ruochen with a complicated and vigilant expression.

All the cultivators present were shocked.

Was the Demigod-level physique so powerful that even Tian Shuzi, who had cultivated five trillion precepts, couldn’t block it?

Tian Shuzi’s body wasn’t weak either!

They didn’t know that Zhang Ruochen’s palm wasn’t just the power of the Demigod-level physique. It also had 30 times the attack power of a high-level saint technique at the Thousand Koan level like the Dragon-Tiger Prajna Strike.

Why was it 30 times the attack power?

God knew how Zhang Ruochen could reach such a terrifying level after cultivating the Realm-frame of Truth—Boundless universe. This was beyond Zhang Ruochen’s understanding.

However, the 30 times didn’t increase his physical power. It was the power of the Dragon-Tiger Prajna Strike.

The saint technique was activated by saint Qi and the precepts.

Therefore, even if the saint technique had 30-fold attack power, its power was still not as powerful as the full-strength palm of a Demigod-level physique. It was all thanks to the combination of the saint technique and the physical body that Zhang Ruochen was able to defeat Tian Shuzi.

Moreover, it was only after Tian Shuzi was affected by the Power of Dimension that Zhang Ruochen was able to succeed.

Through this clash, Zhang Ruochen realized that there was still a gap between him and those Supreme Saints at the peak of the Banshi Isshou Realm realm who had accumulated much experience.

Few cultivators watching the battle could see the mystery. They only saw that Tian Shuzi was bleeding from Zhang Ruochen’s attack. They were all frightened.

“Zhang Ruochen is only at the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm. Does he have the battle strength of the Paramount Realm?”

“It’s all because of his Demigod-level physique. Tian Shuzi could easily win from a thousand miles away without a chance to display his physical strength. However, I admit that Zhang Ruochen is invincible in close combat. His physical strength is terrifying.”

…

Tian Shuzi stopped looking down on him. The blood stains on his arm disappeared. “Zhang Ruochen, is this your strongest attack?”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to lie to him. He nodded and said, “Yes, this is my strongest attack. I’ve almost used up all the saint Qi in my body.”

Tian Shuzi wanted to regain his face. He chuckled. “That attack was just a casual attack. It wasn’t even 60% of my power. Since your skills are limited, I’ll end this quickly. I’ll defeat you in three moves.”

“Saber of Vipralopa.”

Tian Shuzi took out the saint blade that King Vipralopa had used before. He strode forward. With each step, the Precepts of Saber that condensed toward the saber increased. His aura kept rising.

His blade intent locked onto Zhang Ruochen. He didn’t give Zhang Ruochen the chance to use the Power of Dimension.

Let alone the cultivators watching the battle nearby, even the cultivators in the distant city felt the terrifying saber intent. Their saint souls were affected. It was as if they were about to be torn apart. It was extremely uncomfortable.

Xuan Qingying said, “This is bad. Tian Shuzi used the Saber of Vipralopa. Why hasn’t the emperor stopped him?”

Xuan Disha’s gaze fell on Zhang Ruochen. “Zhang Ruochen’s expression is calm. There’s no need to fear. Hmm, let’s wait and see.”

Tian Shuzi raised his saber above his head, and the sky darkened.

Strong winds rose up, and killing intent soared to the sky.

Whoosh

This shocking strike destroyed many Path Locks, Supreme Saint inscriptions, and Divine Marks around the street. Countless cultivators were suffocated.

Rumble

The sound of metal and stone colliding could be heard.

A figure flew back and crashed into Princess Xue Lai’s saint carriage.

The carriage was shattered. Princess Xue Lai flew out with a whoosh and escaped to the side.

Tian Shuzi picked himself up from the ground with a battle saber. There was a streak of blood at the side of his mouth. He could no longer maintain his calm expression. He glared at Zhang Ruochen with fierce eyes. He roared, “Didn’t you say that the previous attack was your strongest power and that the saint Qi in your body had been used up?”

Zhang Ruochen wore the Armor of the Fire God and had a divine flame burning on his body. He looked like a young divine general. He said sincerely, “That’s right!”

“You…”

How could he say such shameless words? Tian Shuzi hated Zhang Ruochen to death.

The people around him cursed endlessly. They felt that Zhang Ruochen was too cheap.

Yan Zhexian, standing on the Kun Tower, didn’t know what to say to describe his current mood. Logically speaking, the Fane of Death should be looked down upon for bullying the weak with numbers.

Logically speaking, Zhang Ruochen, who was in the Hundred-Shackle Realm, should be looked down upon by Tian Shuzi because of his powerful cultivation.

However, she had some sympathy for the Fane of Death. Zhang Ruochen’s actions couldn’t be said to be sinister or despicable. They were just angry and funny.

More accurately, they were childish.

It felt like he was teasing Tian Shuzi on purpose.

But Zhang Ruochen knew he wasn’t fooling anyone, so he said solemnly, “Don’t get me wrong, brother Tian Shuzi. My previous attack was, in fact, my most powerful. Although it hurt you, it borrowed external power. I won unfairly.”

His tone was humble. He didn’t want others to think he was too arrogant.

Zhang Ruochen had indeed mobilized the world power of the Qiankun Realm.

“Stop talking. Today, I’m humiliated by you. It’s a shame in my life. I won’t rest until you die.” Tianshu wiped the blood from his mouth. His eyes were icy.

If what had happened today was spread, he would definitely be laughed at by the entire Infernal Court.

Even if he had to burn his blood and lifespan, he had to suppress Zhang Ruochen’s arrogance and wash away his shame.
