Immortal Vampires’ home planet was blood-red. In the starry sky, it was especially dazzling.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen flew outside of the planet’s atmosphere.
Below, clouds churned like an endless sea of blood. One could see the outline of the continent and the distribution of the sea.
Whoosh
A corner of the planet’s surface array opened.
Lady Wind walked out without wearing a gold mask. Her beautiful face revealed a charming smile. “Why did Supreme Saint Ruochen come back all of a sudden?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Seeing that the formation is intact, my worried heart finally settled. I originally received news that Yanluo clan had wiped out all the Celestial Captives on the fifth Darkstar. I was worried that Yan Huangtu would come to our home planet to slaughter our clansmen. It seems that my worries are unnecessary.”
Lady Wind said, “With me and Lord Xia Yu guarding our home planet, even if Yan Huangtu comes, it won’t be a big deal. Why would Supreme Saint Ruochen come back personally? I see that Immortal Vampires’ points have increased by tens of millions. What is the situation on the seventh Darkstar? Has it been taken down?”
Zhang Ruochen shook his head, “The seventh dark star is under the control of Lord Hornless. It’s not that easy to completely destroy it. I have some ideas that I have to set up now. If the powerful elites of Yanluo clan dare to come, I will make sure they never go back.”
…
Lord Xia Yu had led the Array Masters of Immortal Vampires to set up the formation from the start of Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting.
Three defensive arrays had been set up, one stacked on top of the other. Even if Lord Hornless came personally and used a Supreme Artifact, he would not be able to break the array.
There were six Offensive Arrays.
Besides that, the Universe’s talisman was also set up to deal with the Supreme Saint elites.
Immortal Vampires had set up so many formations to block the enemies from leaving their home planet. These formations and runes were the strongest first line of defense.
They were like the walls of a city.
Whoosh
Whoosh!
…
The formations of their home planet were opened layer by layer.
Under Lady Wind’s lead, the two of them passed through three layers of the Defensive Arrays. They walked through the void space as if they were walking on flat ground.
Suddenly, Lady Wind who was walking in front said, “Why did Supreme Saint Ruochen come back from the starry sky? Why didn’t you return from the dimensional teleportation array of our home planet?”
Zhang Ruochen, who was walking at the back, had a flash of light in his eyes. He decisively punched Lady Wind’s back.
As he punched out, an earth-shaking dragon’s roar sounded.
The nine dragon Divine Marks appeared on his fist and released violent divine force.
Lady Wind seemed to have expected this. She was one step ahead of him as she activated the Path of Wind’s Saintwill and merged it into her body. She then turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the arrays.
Zhang Ruochen’s punch was like a stone sinking into the sea. It was swallowed by the formation.
“Yan Huangtu, I knew you would come. How can you hide from my Gate of Destiny with your Shapeshifting technique?”
Lady Wind appeared 300 meters in front of ‘Zhang Ruochen’. She hovered in the air with the Gate of Destiny condensed behind her.
The Gate of Destiny was like a mirror, reflecting Zhang Ruochen’s true appearance.
It was the domineering and mighty figure of Yan Huangtu.
Since he was recognized, Yan Huangtu twisted his body and changed back to his original appearance. He snorted. “I underestimated you. You have some ability to become a candidate for Scioness. But you are far from being able to fight with me.”
Yan Huangtu’s Yama Qi surged out like a dragon, forming a Golden Scroll of Heaven and Earth.
“I’ve already lured you into the array. Do you think that I will fight you alone?” Lady Wind laughed.
Lord Xia Yu slowly descended from above Lady Wind, her long dress fluttering in the wind.
Following that, countless array inscriptions appeared in all directions of Yan Huangtu.
Pleiades Lotus was the most important key in this array. Every petal was 770 feet long and each petal had array inscriptions.
“Heavenly Fire Tribulation.”
Lord Xia Yu flicked her finger, and the array revolved while unleashing its offensive power.
Bzz
The array condensed into hundreds of flaming rivers, releasing scorching energy. All the rivers twisted together and converged into a torrent that crashed into Yan Huangtu.
Even though Yan Huangtu was protected by a Supreme Artifact, Scepter of Heaven’s Pass, his defense was still broken through by the power of the array. Blood spurted out of his mouth, and like a shooting star, he was thrown into the void space of the universe.
The torrent flames knocked Yan Huangtu thousands of miles away before it ran out of energy.
Lady Wind could clearly see that the flesh and blood on Yan Huangtu’s body had been burned by the flames, revealing a large amount of golden Divine Bones. She could not help but feel proud of herself.
Yan Huangtu was such a powerful figure, the strongest elite of the supreme race who has a God’s Destiny.
In this era, who could make him suffer such a huge loss?
She did it!
The gods should have seen it. With this brilliant performance, when Immortal Vampires take first place among the ten races, who else could compete with her for the position of Destiny Scioness?
Royal Divine Frame allowed Yan Huangtu’s defense to reach a shocking level. Even after suffering an unprecedented amount of damage, he still did not die.
His body was almost half-skeletal and his aura was extremely weak. His eyes were filled with resentment and hatred, “When I recover, I will lead a Supreme Saint Army of Yanluo clan to flatten Immortal Vampires. Lady WInd, Lord Xia Yu, don’t cry for victory too fast.”
With that, Yan Huangtu coughed up blood again.
“You still want to flatten Immortal Vampires? I’ll kick you out of the battlefield today.”
The silver wings on Lady Wind’s back spread as she chased after Yan Huangtu.
After refining Saint Bloody Shadow, Lady Wind’s combat strength had improved greatly. She was fearless. She only wanted to get rid of Yan Huangtu and not lay up trouble for the future.
For her, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
As long as she could get rid of Yan Huangtu and take the Supreme Artifact of Yanluo clan, Lady Wind’s influence could even surpass Zhang Ruochen’s.
As for Lord Xia Yu, even though she’d used the formation to heavily injure Yan Huangtu, she could only be her foil. Lord Xia Yu had only created an opportunity for her to shine in the future.
Yan Huangtu’s injuries were too severe. It was obvious that he was unable to contend against Lady Wind, a first-class elite in the Great Perfection stage of Hundred-Shackle Realm. After temporarily suppressing his injuries, he immediately fled at his fastest speed.
“You won’t be able to escape! My title is wind. Path of Wind is my main path, and Path of Wind is specialized in speed. Not to mention that you are now seriously injured, even if you were at your peak condition, your speed might not be faster than me.”
Lady Wind had a smile on her face as she pushed the Precepts of Wind to the extreme, merging her body with the wind.
It was not an ordinary wind, but a silent squall that could stir up storms in the starry sky. Its speed was extremely fast.
Being able to chase after Yan Huangtu was definitely something worth showing off. With such a battle record, after becoming a Scioness, no cultivator in the Infernal Court would dare to look down on her.
Logically speaking, Lord Xia Yu should have attacked together with Lady Wind. With their combined strength, they would have more confidence in chasing Yan Wushen out of the battlefield.
However, Lord Xia Yu always remembered Zhang Ruochen’s instructions. No matter what happened, she couldn’t leave their home planet. She had to protect Star-Shield Grand Formation.
Looking at Lady Wind and Yan Huangtu chasing after each other and disappearing thousands of miles away, Lord Xia Yu felt a bit uneasy.
How famous was Yan Huangtu? How could he be chased by Lady Wind to such a sorry state?
This scene was hard to believe.
“Yan Huangtu is also a human. There will always be times when he will fall.” Lord Xia Yu repeated this in her heart, trying to convince herself.
“Lady Wind is one of the top ten elites in the Great Perfection stage of Hundred-Shackle Realm. There shouldn’t be any accidents chasing after the heavily injured Yan Huangtu. Even if she can’t expel Yan Huangtu, she should be able to protect herself. What do I have to worry about?”
Lord Xia Yu thought carefully. “What would Zhang Ruochen do if he faced such a situation?”
After a moment, she calmed down and continued to stay on her home planet.
After a long wait, Lady Wind finally returned.
Lord Xia Yu was finally relieved.
“Lord Xia Yu, why didn’t you go after Yan Huangtu with me just now? Do you know the consequences of letting a tiger return to the mountain?” Lady Wind reprimanded seriously.
It was obvious that Lady Wind couldn’t do anything to Yan Huangtu. Therefore, letting him escape!
Lord Xia Yu was very calm and said, “My mission is to guard our home planet. I won’t step a foot out of our home planet.”
“Do you know what it means to adapt to circumstances? If you and I had attacked together just now, how could Yan Huangtu have escaped? We could even seize the Supreme Artifact of Yanluo clan. The best situation has been ruined by you,” said Lady Wind.
Lord Xia Yu didn’t argue with Lady Wind. In short, Immortal Vampires had the upper hand now. As long as their planet wasn’t harmed, they wouldn’t lose.
Nothing was more important than protecting their home planet.
As for the responsibility of Yan Huangtu escaping, Lady Wind insisted on adding it to her. She just had to accept it. The gods were watching anyway. They had their own judgment as to whether she had done anything wrong.
If Zhang Ruochen came back, he would definitely agree with her.
She didn’t care what Lady Wind thought of her.
Lady Wind said, “Do you still want to cultivate divinity? Do you want to revive the Xias? Dream on! Why don’t you rely on Zhang Ruochen? After all, he dotes on you now. When he cultivates divinity, he’ll definitely be a powerful figure among the gods. At that time, he’ll take better care of you. It’s easier to rely on a man than to work hard. After all, with your beauty, you have the ability to rely on a man.”
If it was Lord Xia Yu’s previous personality, she won’t restrain her anger and would have taught Lady Wind a lesson.
But now, she understood that the bigger picture was more important.
The planet still depended on her and Lady Wind. If they fought, they would definitely give Yanluo clan a chance.
Therefore, Lord Xia Yu remained silent.
“Forget it. I’m not the leader of Immortal Vampires, so I can’t punish you. Let’s wait for Zhang Ruochen to come back and see how he punishes you. Hurry up and activate the array,” Lady Wind said.
Lord Xia Yu was very careful. She checked Lady Wind with her spiritual power and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with her before opening the array layer by layer.
Lady Wind turned into a streak of light and flew into the atmosphere. Standing on the sea of clouds, she looked down at Immortal Vampires on the continents. Her red lips curled up slightly. “I’m finally here!”
Her moving eyes looked up and landed on Lord Xia Yu’s slender figure, she smiled like a silver bell, “Lady Wind’s greatest weakness is her desire to succeed. She has an extreme desire to prove herself to the gods. The more she does so, the easier it will be to deal with her.
“But you… how should I put it? Xia Yu, you’ve really changed a lot. You’re so cautious that I didn’t expect you to be so careful. I almost thought that I wouldn’t be able to break into Star-Shield Grand Formation.”
Lord Xia Yu’s heart tightened as she asked coldly, “Who are you?”
With a thought, Lord Xia Yu activated Star-Shield Grand Formation’s Offensive Array. Dense lightning bolts flashed above her head, emitting a powerful rumbling sound.
Lady Wind added, “Your spiritual power is very strong. You’ve already reached the peak of the 64th-level right? There’s a slight deviation from the information I’ve obtained. But, you’re still weaker than me. That’s why your spiritual power can’t see through my true form.”
“You are Yan Zhexian,” Lord Xia Yu said.
Lord Xia Yu’s spiritual power was already at the top level.
In Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting, there were not more than ten cultivators whose spiritual power was stronger than hers.
Only Yan Zhexian and Xi had such spiritual power.
No matter how marvelous a man’s Shapeshifting technique was, it was impossible for him to learn a woman’s subtle eyes and movements to the point of being lifelike. Therefore, the Lady Wind in front of her must be Yan Zhexian.
Everything was clear now!
Yan Huangtu didn’t want to change into Zhang Ruochen’s appearance and intrude into Immortal Vampires’ home planet. Instead, he used desperate measures and the trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain.
Only after luring Lady Wind away could they have a chance to enter Immortal Vampires’ home planet, which was defended like an iron bucket.
In order to deceive Lady Wind and Lord Xia Yu, Yan Huangtu had gone through a lot of trouble, and he was ruthless enough to himself.
Lady Wind slightly twisted her slender waist, and her body changed into Yan Zhexian’s appearance. She wore a white robe and looked as delicate as an otherworldly fairy.
She smiled and said, “Since I’ve entered Immortal Vampires’ home planet, your formation can’t do anything to me anymore. Once your Offensive Array land, the first ones you kill will definitely be Immortal Vampires.”
Yan Zhexian spread her arms and flew toward the nearest continent like a white swallow.
Lord Xia Yu didn’t attack with the array. After all, to kill a superior like Yan Zhexian, the destructive power would spread all over the planet.
Back then, when Supreme Saint Yanhong and Yan Zhexian were dealing with Zhang Ruochen, they had cleared out a continent and set up a large number of Supreme Saint inscriptions and formation patterns to stop the destructive power from engulfing the entire home planet.
Boom
Boom!
..
Every time Yan Zhexian flew past a city, she would strike out a talisman.
Then, the city sank. All Immortal Vampires were reduced to ashes with the city.
She felt a strong sense of joy in her heart.
“Zhang Ruochen, you shameless person. When you humiliated me back then, did you ever think that this day would come for Immortal Vampires’ home planet? This is just a small amount of payback. In the future, I will cut off your hand and tongue, making you pay an even greater price.”
Every time Yan Zhexian thought of Zhang Ruochen, she gritted her teeth in hatred. She finally felt that there was something crawling on her face that could not be washed clean.
Perhaps, only with his blood could it be washed clean.
“I have already destroyed six continents. Immortal Vampires’ points should have been deducted a lot, right?”
Yan Zhexian took out diamond-shaped mirror and was stunned.
Immortal Vampires’ points didn’t change at all.
“Could it be that there’s a delay in the Mystic Eye of Myriad Realms?”
Yan Zhexian immediately denied herself. She felt extremely uneasy and said, “No! There must be a problem.”
“Of course there’s a problem.”
Lord Xia Yu’s figure appeared mid-air. She stood in the center of Pleiades Lotus and emitted a beautiful blood-red light, she said, “Yan Zhexian, it’s true that your spiritual power is stronger than mine. However, can it be stronger than all the Array Masters and Talisman Masters of Immortal Vampires combined? You’re so proficient in illusions. Can’t you see that you’re in a huge illusion formation?”
Yan Zhexian’s heart thumped. She realized that she had underestimated Lord Xia Yu and made a fatal mistake.
Underestimating the enemy was the most common mistake made by top elites.
Yan Zhexian was still too young and lacked experience, unlike Lord Xia Yu who often honed herself on the Battlefield of Merits. Although her personality was extreme, her sense on the battlefield was sharper than any cultivator.
Yan Zhexian quickly calmed down and said, “You knew my identity from the start?”
“No, you really fooled me. I have to say that this is your ability. If I didn’t have any arrangements, Immortal Vampires might have suffered a great loss today.”
Lord Xia Yu continued, “Ghosts, Yanluo clan, and Asura’s home planets have all met with accidents. Do you think that as the guardian of our home planet, I didn’t make any arrangements? To tell you the truth, there is not a single member of Immortal Vampires here. There is only an illusion formation waiting for you to jump in.”
Yan Zhexian was silent for a long time, she said, “In this era, there are not many cultivators that I can consider my opponent. From today onwards, you, Xia Yu, can be considered one of them. Next, let me see if you have the ability to deal with me.”
Lord Xia Yu didn’t want to fight Yan Zhexian alone. She waved her arm and numerous Supreme Saints of Immortal Vampire appeared. They pushed the formations to the extreme.
“Zhang Ruochen, I’ve proven to you that your Supreme Artifact and Saint Bloody Shadow weren’t given to the wrong person. Yan Zhexian is my gift to you.”
