Chapter 2350 Communicating with Lan Ying
The entire city that was enveloped by the array had been razed to the ground. The Power of Darkness, Time, and Dimension had yet to completely dissipate.
This place had become a restricted area for cultivators below the Supreme Saint Realm.
Rumble
In the sky, the wind and clouds raged as a golden vortex with a diameter of more than 50 kilometers appeared.
The vortex stirred up a whistling hurricane and emitted a terrifying energy fluctuation, causing the members of the Yanluo Clan on the ground to keep quiet out of fear.
Yan Huangtu raised his head and looked over. His expression became even more unsightly as he roared, “Be on guard! Lead all the Yanluo clansmen away from the city!”
It was too late!
Swish
A Dimensional Tide erupted from the golden vortex, bringing with it countless Dimensional Rifts as it slammed towards the ground.
Rumble
Wherever the Dimensional Tide passed, buildings collapsed one after the other, streets were cut off, and the array’s light patterns were ripped apart… The entire city was then engulfed in thick black smoke, becoming deathly silent and dilapidated.
Countless Yanluo clansmen had died an unnatural death.
The defensive light barriers that the various Yanluo Clan’s Supreme Saints had erected only protected a small portion of their clansmen.
This was a war where there was no right or wrong. As long as you killed others and others killed you, everything would be bloody. To obtain the final victory, you had to be ruthless. There could be no mercy at all.
This was how the laws of the Infernal Court worked.
“Zhang… Ruo… chen…”
Violent waves of divine Qi surged out from the body of Yan Huangtu. Veins bulge on his face.
The ground beneath Yan Huangtu’s feet sank with a thud. He shot into the sky, wrapped in divine light, and punched at the golden vortex. The vortex was ripped apart, and the sky was shattered.
In the shattered vortex, Yan Huangtu didn’t find any trace of Zhang Ruochen. He disappeared again.
Lan Ying’s childish eyes flashed with surprise in the courtyard filled with seven-colored begonias. “As expected of the Master of Time and Space,” he said. “Zhang Ruochen can vanish without a trace. I can’t pick up on his presence.”
Lan Ying had some experience in the art of concealment.
When Lan Ying had seized the Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill, Lan Ying had avoided the perception of nearly 1,000 Supreme Saints of the Yanluo Clan. He had hidden inside them to successfully launch a sneak attack. If Que had not come out of nowhere, the Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill would have been in his pocket long ago.
Hong Futu said, “What’s more terrifying is that he actually found the Dark Space-time Matter.”
Lan Ying’s face darkened.
Even if Lan Ying was hit, the destructive power of the Dark Space-time Matter would most likely injure him severely. Zhang Ruochen was nothing more than an ant in Lan Ying’s eyes before entering the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting. With a stomp, he could kill him.
Lan Ying became more interested in Zhang Ruochen after learning that he had defeated Wujiang
At that moment, Lan Ying was finally afraid of Zhang Ruochen.
Lan Ying said, “If Zhang Ruochen hadn’t revealed this trump card, I might have suffered a great loss when I fought with him. Now, even if he uses Dark Space-time Matter, he might not be able to hurt me.
“Senior Brother, your sense of smell is a thousand times better than an ordinary Supreme Saint’s. Find Zhang Ruochen. Now is the best time to deal with him.”
Hong Futu’s human head cracked. It expanded several times and turned into a huge beast head.
Hong Futu’s nose was shaped like a bull’s. It took up one-third of the volume of the head. It was enormous. He inhaled deeply. Wisps of smell rushed into his body in an instant.
Suddenly, Hong Futu noticed something. His expression changed.
Lightning surged out of his blood-red muscles. Hong Futu was about to punch back with all his strength. He realized that Zhang Ruochen’s presence was in this courtyard.
“Are you sure you want to do this here?” Zhang Ruochen’s voice sounded out of nowhere.
Zhang Ruochen couldn’t be seen in the courtyard. He spoke like a ghost.
“Stop!” said Lan Ying.
Lan Ying was very calm. His eyes shone with nine lights and eighteen colors. He locked onto one of the directions and looked across the pond. He laughed evilly and said, “Amazing. You found us!”
Hong Futu dispersed his power and stood beside the Lan Ying like an iron tower.
Hong Futu didn’t dare to make a move here. After all, there were many Supreme Saints of the Yanluo Clan in the city. Once his position was exposed, it wouldn’t be easy to escape.
Zhang Ruochen appeared by the pool bit by bit and became solid.
Zhang Ruochen said, “I can sense you when you’re observing me. Even though you’ve hidden well, you can’t hide from the Eye of Truth.”
Lan Ying’s lips were flushed and his teeth were pearly white. His skin was silver in color. “Then why didn’t your Eye of Truth see through the trap?” he asked.
Zhang Ruochen hung the gourd on his waist. He looked free and easy. He said while smiling, “The Power of Oblivion can dissolve the Truth near itself into nothingness. It’s like your eyes. They can see me, but they can’t find it.”
“You’re walking into a trap by coming here. Do you really think we won’t dare to attack? You have to understand that the Yanluo Clan wants to kill you more than us,” Hong Futu said.
Zhang Ruochen provoked them with a gesture and said, “If I can escape from their attack once, I could do it again. What about you? Can you escape if The Eight Sons of Life and Death trap you in The Indestructible Great Array?”
Lan Ying’s eyes turned dark. “You’re already injured. How dare you talk so arrogantly?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Do injured people dare to come to you?”
Lan Ying looked at Zhang Ruochen with his hands behind his back.
If Lan Ying was certain that Zhang Ruochen was seriously injured, he would use the Supreme Artifact to suppress Zhang Ruochen as quickly as possible. Lan Ying would devour him before the Yanluo Clan’s cultivators arrived.
Zhang Ruochen said casually, “Actually, there is no hatred between us. The two of you only wanted to kill me on the orders of Asurendra Samay.”
“Asurendra Samay’s orders are the reason why you must die,” Hong Futu said.
Zhang Ruochen stared at Lan Ying and said, “But right now, the most important thing for us to do is to take the Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill. If we don’t act now, Que will swallow it.
“When that happens, his cultivation will surely rise to another level. No cultivator can keep him in check on the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting. You’ve been chasing him for so long. How can he let you go?”
Lan Ying’s eyes kept changing. He smiled and said, “Why are you sure Que will swallow the Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill soon?
“If I were him, I would definitely save the Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill for after the Battle of Celestial-Hunting. That way, I’ll have enough time to comprehend the Path. Maybe I’ll have a chance to condense a Grade Three Saintwill from a single Path.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Que is currently comprehending the Path of Water, and he has already reached a very deep level. Besides, you are wrong about one thing!”
“What is it?” asked Lan Ying.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Have you ever thought of trying to condense a Grade Three Saintwill from a single Path? Because it is almost impossible. He wants to condense the tenth Saintwill from the Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill.”
“The tenth Saintwill… ” Lan Ying muttered.
Lan Ying’s face became serious. The words “The tenth Saintwill” hit the softest spot of his heart.
Although the ninth Saintwill was called the limit of what a Supreme Saint could condense, the Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill was a rare treasure in the world.
Lan Ying thought, ‘If it helped, Que might really be able to condense the tenth Saintwill.
If Que succeeded, would his body transform even more?’
Zhang Ruochen said, “Do you still remember the Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill that disappeared when we fought for the Saintwill Pill? I’m sure Que took it away.
“With the Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill, I can condense the tenth Saintwill.
“With the Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill, I can merge the tenth Saintwill into my flawed Grade Two Saintwill and become a top and complete Grade Two Saintwill. This day shouldn’t be far away.”
Lan Ying smiled. “So, you’re here to cooperate with me?”
“That’s right. At least we can deal with Que. Taking the Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill is our common goal,” Zhang Ruochen said.
DUI
Lan Ying was obviously tempted. He asked, “Who should take the Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill?”
“Whoever lives gets it. Didn’t you want to kill me? Once we’ve dealt with Que, we’ll decide who lives and who dies,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Lan Ying’s lips twitched. He indicated Zhang Ruochen with his finger. “Good,” he said with a smile. “Your suggestion is appealing to me. However, I can sense that Que has left the city. It won’t be easy to find him.
“This planet is only so big. Where can he hide? Besides, the Yanluo Clan will help us find him. I’ll leave first. I’m afraid your location will be exposed soon. Yan Huangtu isn’t a simple person. He’ll find us here.
Before Lan Ying could finish his sentence, Zhang Ruochen’s body turned into a speck of light and disappeared into the air.
Hong Futu said in a deep voice, “Junior Brother, you don’t really believe him, do
you?”
Lan Ying laughed. “Of course, I can’t trust Zhang Ruochen, but his words make sense. In many situations, we have to kill the strongest first. That’s why Que must die.”
“What about the Yanluo Clan? Perhaps they were even more terrifying than Que. Zhang Ruochen had grown to such a powerful level. Yan Wushen, who was as famous as him, wouldn’t lag too far behind. Yan Huangtu, Yan Wushen, and The Eight Sons of Life and Death. With such a lineup, even Que must flee,” said Hong Futu
Lan Ying said, “Yanluo Clan wants to deal with Zhang Ruochen the most, not us. Do you think I’ll really fight Zhang Ruochen to the death after I take care of Que? I only need to sell him to the Yanluo Clan to kill him.
“Let’s go. If Zhang Ruochen can find this place, so can Yan Huangtu. We shouldn’t stay here for long.”
Yan Huangtu appeared in the field of colorful begonias not long after Lan Ying and Hong Futu had left. His skin was as icy as ice.
Xi walked into the courtyard and asked, “Is this where Lan Ying and Hong Futu were hiding?
“When the Dimensional Tide swept down just now, only a few places were able to resist the power. This is one of them. Unfortunately, they have already left.”
Yan Huangtu’s expression was volatile. His heart was filled with anger, but he controlled himself with his will, telling himself to remain calm and restrained.
One had to cultivate his mind before cultivating a path.
One had to cultivate his spirit before cultivating a technique.
Xi said angrily, “What kind of place do these people think the Yanluo Clan’s home planet is? They come and go as they please. It’s really hateful.”
In all the Battles of Celestial-Hunting, the Yanluo Clan had never been touched before. The dignity of the Supreme Clan had been trampled on by Que, Lan Ying, and Zhang Ruochen. The Yanluo clan had lost a lot of faces!
Yan Huangtu said, “It seems that there is only one way to lure them all out and capture them
all.”
“Which is?” asked Xi.
Yan Huangtu said thoughtfully, “The opportunities in the home planet of the Yanluo Clan.”
“This… is not very good, right? What if the opportunities in the home planet are really taken away by them?” said Xi. He was a little worried and felt that Yan Huangtu’s action was quite risky.
Xi quickly said, “In my opinion, I can send ten Supreme Saints to put all the people on our planet into their robes.”
“Then wouldn’t it be more convenient for Zhang Ruochen to kill people? Besides, can you guarantee that Zhang Ruochen is among the people? Or Lan Ying? Or Que?”
Yan Huangtu continued, “Don’t worry! Wushen had most likely taken the opportunity of the home planet. If we lure the ambitious Que, Zhang Ruochen, and Lan Ying into the underground, they’ll fight themselves first. We only need to harvest the rewards at the end.”
Xi said, “They’re all very smart. It won’t be easy to lure them into the inner parts of the home planet.”
“It’s precisely because they’re very smart and powerful that they’ll investigate even if they know it’s a trap,” said Yan Huangtu as he swayed his fingers and thought carefully.
After separating from Lan Ying and Hongfu Tu, Zhang Ruochen left the city and escaped to the bottom of the sea.
Using Dark Space-time Matter to break the array had indeed hurt him, and it was not light.
When he reached the bottom of the sea, he continued to descend and rushed into the mud and rocks tens of thousands of meters deep. After setting up a Cloaking Array, he spat out a mouthful of black blood.
It was the uncontrollable Power of Darkness that had backfired on him.
The impact of the Power of Time and Dimension on him had almost been resolved by him.
Using the power of the Divine Purification Flame and the Heart of the Divine Tree, Zhang Ruochen refined all the Power of Darkness in his body. Although his injuries had not fully recovered, he was no longer in serious danger.
‘I should be more careful when using Dark Space-time Matter in the future,’ Zhang Ruochen thought.
Walking out of the array, Zhang Ruochen thought carefully. He didn’t return to the ground immediately. Instead, he rushed deeper into the planet’s core, intending to find opportunities in the planet of the Yanluo Clan.
Since he was already here, he had to give it a try.
With his current cultivation, he could maintain an extremely fast speed even in the depths of the planet.
To his surprise, the geological structure of the home planet of the Yanluo Clan had no other space apart from being very hard. It was completely different from the home planet of Ghost and the home planet of Immortal Vampires.
After two hours, Zhang Ruochen flew out of the deep sea on the other side of the planet and floated on the surface of the sea.
‘How can this be? This shouldn’t be! Is the opportunity of the home planet of the Yanluo Clan not in the planet’s core?’ Zhang Ruochen thought.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t dare to use his spiritual power to investigate. He was afraid that the Supreme Saint of the Yanluo Clan would find out. Thus, he gave up on the idea of continuing to look for opportunities. He planned to go to the city on the home planet to get information first.
After such a long time, the Yanluo Clan couldn’t just sit around and wait to die. They should have been making a move now!
