The giant golden palm print was a thousand miles long, It was like light and fog, sometimes illusory and sometimes real. It continuously emitted soul-stirring energy fluctuations.
Rumble
Below the palm print, there were Supreme Saints of the Ghost fought with all their might. Some used Immaterial Artifacts, while others used high-level saint techniques. However, it was too late. The entire continent continued to sink and the giant home planet shook violently.
A moment later, standing in the starry sky, the dust billowing and chaotic energy can be seen on the distant planet.
A shocking five-finger handprint crater was imprinted on the surface of the planet.
Golden cracks were all around the handprint crater, and the light mist turned into a waterfall.
A bright golden light dot floated above the handprint crater.
Cultivators from the three upper clans flew quickly toward the Ghost’s home planet. They finally saw clearly that the golden light dot was a human figure.
“Zhang… Zhang Ruochen, he’s not dead…” Mad Whitejade Lion said in a trembling voice. His eyes were filled with shock.
Pan Ruo stood at the front. A flash of undetectable light appeared in her cold eyes.
Whoosh
The ten wings on Zhang Ruochen’s back spread. His entire body shone with golden light. Like a god descending from heaven, he slowly landed on the ground.
There was a Ghost city that remained standing in the center of Zhang Ruochen’s thousand-mile-wide crater.
The Pleiades Lotus was propped up in the Ghost city by Xu and a few Supreme Saints in the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm of the Ghost. With the help of the Supreme Power, they were able to block the palm print and save the Ghost City.
Standing on the pitch-black city wall, Supreme Saint Yanhong in Pink Skull form looked at Zhang Ruochen falling from the sky and said in disbelief, “How is this possible? Is that really Zhang Ruochen? Didn’t you say that he died underground?”
The two Bone Clan Supreme Saints in the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm, Moon-Bull Emperor and Lord Sparrow Bone, flew to the left and right sides of Pink Skull.
At the same time, Xu, Popobawa Ghost Emperor, Four-eyed Ghost Emperor, and Ye Changzai gathered from all over the city.
“His body was invaded by the power of the Amorite Curse, but it was completely resolved in just three days. and… his cultivation seems to be even higher than before,” Ye Changzai said in surprise.
“It’s not just higher than before. Compared to three days ago, Zhang Ruochen is much stronger,” Xu said with a serious expression as if he was facing a great enemy.
Xu had felt great pressure when fighting with Zhang Ruochen with the Supreme Artifact.
Xu would never have felt this way when fighting with Zhang Ruochen in the past.
Zhang Ruochen glanced at the Supreme Saints in the Ghost city and raised his voice. “Xu, we haven’t finished yet. Do you dare to fight with me again?”
“Why not?” said Xu.
Xu activated his 300-meters-tall Primordial Ghost Emperor-level Physique and flew out of the Ghost city with the Pleiades Lotus to confront Zhang Ruochen.
He was the one who invited Zhang Ruochen to fight on the Ghost’s home planet. If he didn’t show up, wouldn’t he be a joke to all the cultivators in the Infernal Court?
Besides, even if Zhang Ruochen became stronger, how strong could he be in just a few days?
Even if Xu was facing elites like Wujiang and Luo Shengtian, he would still dare to fight them head-on. Even if he could not win, he would still have the confidence to escape. Could Zhang Ruochen be stronger than Wujiang and Luo Shengtian?
“Very good,” said Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen’s speed was as fast as lightning. In an instant, he collided with Xu.
Bang
Zhang Ruochen’s fist collided with the black light shield formed by the Pleiades Lotus. Two powerful forces tore the ground under their feet into pieces.
BOOM!
Zhang Ruochen used the Luoshui Fist Technique, and the fist shadows fell like raindrops.
He didn’t use the Saintwill, but each fist contained divine force, along with tens of millions of Precepts of Fist and the power of the dragon and elephant soul of the Thousand-Koan Realm.
The sound of the fists was like the waves of the ocean hitting a reef.
“Bare-handed fighting with the Supreme Artifact. Is Zhang Ruochen’s body so terrifying?” A Supreme Saint in Ghost City said as he felt his heart tremble.
Four-eyed Ghost Emperor’s eyes had extraordinary powers. He could see something was off and he said, “Zhang Ruochen has broken at least 10 shackles. The divine force contained in the Demigod-level physique is being activated. He… He’s getting stronger. I’m afraid we’ll be in big trouble today.
Everyone, get ready to fight.”
With these words, it was clear that the Four-eyed Ghost Emperor was not as upbeat as he had been.
Popobawa Ghost Emperor was confused. “No, no. Zhang Ruochen can’t break more than 10 shackles in just three days, even with the help of the Fugue Pill and the Power of Time. He must have gotten some kind of opportunity underground.”
Pink Skull lightly stamped her feet and snorted.
A Ghost Supreme Saint who was burning with spectral flame said, “How strange. Why didn’t Xu use the power of the Supreme Artifact to fight back? I don’t believe that Zhang Ruochen’s power is strong enough to suppress the Supreme Artifact.”
“Of course, Zhang Ruochen can’t fight against the Supreme Artifact with his bare hands. But he can use his power and speed to suppress Xu with the Supreme Power of the Supreme Artifact. It takes time for the Hundred-Shackle Realm Supreme Saint to activate the power of the Supreme Artifact. Zhang
Ruochen didn’t give Xu time,” Pink Skull said.
Popobawa Ghost Emperor’s expression was stern. He said coldly, “I think we must attack now and combine all our powers to kill Zhang Ruochen. A one-on-one fight will only give Zhang Ruochen a chance to defeat each of them.”
Pink Skull sent a voice transmission to Ming, the eighth son of the Ghost Lord. She said, “Is Supreme Saint Manjian still alive? Bring him here.”
BOOM!
Xu held the Pleiades Lotus with both hands and used Supreme Power to form a black light shield.
The black light shield was sometimes dimmed and sometimes dented by Zhang Ruochen’s fist power.
Only part of the Supreme Inscriptions could appear on the Pleiades Lotus. It couldn’t recover completely and its power was suppressed.
“Damn it. How did Zhang Ruochen’s power become so strong?”
Xu stepped back one at a time. Gritting his teeth, he tried his best to circulate the Ghost Qi.
Even without the Supreme Artifact, Xu could have suppressed Zhang Ruochen if it had been before. However, the situation had now been completely reversed.
“Banshee Polearm,” Xu called out.
Xu released powerful spiritual power and mobilized the Ghost Qi on the Ghost’s home planet to form a black polearm.
“Now die,” Xu said.
The black polearm took the shape of a snake and released a bone-chilling fog. It drew a serpentine arc and hit Zhang Ruochen’s back.
The 64th level of spiritual power was the biggest reason why Xu could surpass Supreme Saint Yanhong, Lord Bladehell, and the others and rank seventh. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to be above Supreme Saint Yanhong and Lord Bladehell just by relying on his Path’s cultivation.
Zhang Ruochen ignored the black polearm approaching from behind. He released his spiritual power and condensed a light shield behind him as he waved his fist.
Rumble
The black polearm and the light shield clashed fiercely.
The light shield didn’t shatter as Xu had expected. Instead, it blocked his Banshee Polearm and formed circles of energy tides.
“Your spiritual power… damn it, you’ve been hiding the strength of your spiritual power.”
Xu had no idea Zhang Ruochen could boost his spiritual power by two levels in just three days.
This improvement was comparable to the hundreds of years of hard cultivation of other Supreme Saints.
Boom
A golden wing on Zhang Ruochen’s back slashed out and sent the black polearm flying.
Taking advantage of the time when Xu’s emotions were fluctuating violently, Zhang Ruochen released the Realm-frame of Truth and turned the area within 10,000 miles into a dazzling sea of stars. It was brilliant and beautiful.
He formed palm prints with both hands, and a dragon and elephant phantom rushed out from his left and right arms.
Xu knew very well that Zhang Ruochen was going to merge the Path of Truth into his Palm technique and stimulate ten times the attack power. So, Xu spat out a mouthful of Origin of Ghost Qi and poured it into the Pleiades Lotus.
Crash
The Supreme Inscriptions in the Pleiades Lotus were activated quickly and released a huge amount of Supreme Power.
The Supreme Power condensed into seven black lotus flowers. The black lotus flowers burned with a spectral flame that was hotter than normal Emperor-level Divine Purification Flame. The space was distorted.
“Dragon-Elephant Destruction.” Zhang Ruochen called out.
Zhang Ruochen unleashed the 13th strike of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Palm Strike. With the augmentation of the Precept of Truth, it exploded with ten times the attack power. It clashed fiercely with the seven black lotus flowers.
Boom
The violent destructive power surged in all directions.
In Ghost City, all the Supreme Saints changed their expressions. They quickly attacked together. The Immaterial Artifacts and Regal Artifacts joined together. They finally blocked the impact of the Supreme Power and Palm strike.
The ground under Zhang Ruochen and Xu’s feet melted quickly, turning into red lava.
To be precise, the entire continent was melting. It couldn’t withstand the aftermath of the battle between the two Supreme Saints.
Xu’s Primordial Ghost Emperor-Level Physique began to burn. He kept letting out a long howl as he tried his best to hold on. After a while, he felt that Zhang Ruochen’’s Palm strike was rapidly weakening.
“Haha! With the Pleiades Lotus, I can kill a Thousand-Koan Realm Supreme Saint and threaten a Banshi Isshou Realm Supreme Saint. Zhang Ruochen actually dares to fight against a Supreme Artifact with his bare hands. Do you really think that the ten times attack power of the Path of Truth can make
you invincible in the world?”
Xu spat out a mouthful of Origin of Ghost Qi again on the Pleiades Lotus. “Today, I will refine you to death here.”
In the Ghost city.
Seeing Xu gradually gaining the upper hand, the Ghost Supreme Saints who had planned to attack Zhang Ruochen together all breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
Only two balls of flames appeared in Pink Skull’s deep eye sockets. She felt an unusual power fluctuation and said, “Oh no, Zhang Ruochen has activated the power of the Saintwill.”
The Ghost Supreme Saints didn’t care. So what if he had activated the Saintwill?
Could the Saintwill fight against a Supreme Artifact?
In the same realm, whoever had a Supreme Artifact was invincible.
Boom
Powerful energy burst out of Zhang Ruochen’s body and broke through the defensive light shield formed by the Pleiades Lotus.
In an instant, the seven black lotus flowers were all shattered.
Zhang Ruochen struck Xu’s chest with his palm, causing Xu’s eyes to widen. Layers upon layers of palm power appeared to be capable of toppling mountains and turning seas. It ripped a huge hole through the 300-meter-tall Primordial Ghost Emperor-Level Physique.
‘Xu was like a scarecrow, he flew backward and crashed heavily into the array formation of the Ghost city.
Bang
The light of the array formation dimmed for a moment and was almost shattered by him.
Xu had suffered a severe injury that had never been seen before. Many forces were at work in his body. He collapsed to the ground and was unable to stand. He could only sit back and watch as Zhang Ruochen approached him one step at a time.
Zhang Ruochen’s body emitted a five-colored chaotic light. Above his head, there was a mysterious phenomenon of water and fire mixing together. A heavenly river flowed around a blood sun.
“Your Saintwill… is of the Grade Two?”
Xu’s fingers clenched hard. He really wanted to stand up again.
Zhang Ruochen stepped on his back and pushed Xu down again. He said, “As a loser, you don’t have the right to know.”
The Pleiades Lotus crashed into Zhang Ruochen’s chest under the control of the vessel spirit.
The Violet Gourd hanging from his waist flew up automatically. It instantly became as big as a palace and sucked in the Pleiades Lotus that flew toward Zhang Ruochen.
The world suddenly became very quiet.
The Ghost Supreme Saints were all in awe of what they were witnessing. Xu, the Ghost’s number one elite who holds a Supreme Artifact, had been defeated by Zhang Ruochen. He’d been trampled beneath his feet.
Zhang Ruochen’s long hair was disheveled. He slowly raised his head and stared at Ming, who was standing on the city wall. He said in a commanding tone, “Let him go.”
In the starry sky.
Looking at Zhang Ruochen’s unrivaled heroism, Lord Sinluo, Mistress Fireborn, and the others couldn’t help but feel suffocated.
In their hearts, they compared Zhang Ruochen to Wujiang.
Could Wujiang defeat Xu in such a crushing manner?
“How can his Saintwill be so powerful? Could it be… could it be that he fused a Grade Two Saintwill with the Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill?” Supreme Saint Yuan Fei said in a trembling voice.
Although Supreme Saint Yuan Fei was the number one elite of the Deathkin, the Saintwill he fused was only of Grade Four.
He knew very well how difficult it was to fuse a Grade Three Saintwill.
Fusing a Grade Two Saintwill was an unimaginable achievement. Even the Peerless Sword God, Feng Chen, didn’t succeed a thousand years ago. He was just a little bit away from the Grade Two Saintwill.
“This is even more interesting! Only in this state can Zhang Ruochen compete with the elites of the three middle clans. Both sides will most likely be injured. Our chance is here!” said Pan Ruo with a joyful smile.
The cultivators who saw the projection of the Mystic Eye of Myriad Realms were all excited.
‘Xu was extremely famous in both the Infernal Court and the Celestial Court. He was a peerless evil spirit. Zhang Ruochen defeated Xu and crushed the faith of countless Ghost cultivators. At the same time, it shocked all the cultivators in the Celestial Court.
No one had thought that Zhang Ruochen could become so powerful in such a short time.
In the Fane of Merit, Shang Ziyan’s eyes were bloodshot. He roared angrily. He was extremely unpleasant.
His heart was filled with hatred.
‘Not only did he hate Zhang Ruochen, but he also hated the prominent figure of the Heavenly Realm who had resurrected him. ‘His death was also a relief. Why did he have to resurrect him? Shang Ziyan thought.
Facing an enemy like Zhang Ruochen, Shang Ziyan felt extremely desperate.
Lian Xi was in the valley of Destiny’s Creek. She fixed her gaze on the projection above her head. In her beautiful pearl-like eyes, a complicated light appeared. There was hatred, but her heart was racing at a breakneck pace. She couldn’t keep her joy under control, no matter how hard she tried.
Why did she feel joy when she saw Zhang Ruochen become stronger?
Shouldn’t she feel afraid and fear?
Of course, the most intense reaction was in the Fane of Destiny. After all, other cultivators only saw the surface, but the gods saw something more profound.
