Moyin noticed Zhang Ruochen was weak. She spoke to him telepathically, “Master, I’ll fight him. You should look for an opportunity to leave first.”

Moyin’s current strength was no weaker than that of Xu and Supreme Saint Yanhong. It was strong enough to fight with a Supreme Saint in the mid-stage of the Thousand-Koan Realm. However, Saint Lord Zuo Mu was not an ordinary cultivator in the mid-stage of the Thousand-Koan Realm. If Moyin

did not use a Supreme Artifact, she would definitely lose to him.

“We will leave together. But before that, I have one more thing to do.”

Zhang Ruochen bit the tip of his tongue to wake himself up a little. He folded his hands and fingers into a ball. The Marks of Time in the form of light spots were condensed between his hands.

One of them was the “Self-Defined Mark of Time.”

“You still have the strength to fight?”

Saint Lord Zuo Mu, who was standing on the purple meteorite, looked surprised. Then, he chuckled, activated the power of Dimension, and disappeared from the spot.

Whoosh–

‘The next moment, the purple meteorite appeared above Zhang Ruochen and Moyin.

The purple meteorite suddenly sank and crashed toward the two people below with overwhelming power.

Before the meteorite landed, the strong wind and evil Qi it emitted had already enveloped Zhang Ruochen and Moyin. Every strand of Qi had the terrifying power to cut through the Neverwither body of a Supreme Saint.

“No wonder Mistress Fireborn lost consciousness after being hit by the purple meteorite twice. This Thousand-Koan Realm Celestial Captive’s attack power is stronger than I imagined.

“Moreover, it’s not just collision. This attack contains the power of Dimension. As the attack landed, the space in all directions compressed inward, making it impossible for the target to escape.”

This thought flashed through Zhang Ruochen’s mind. He stared at Moyin.

Moyin nodded slightly. She raised her snow-white hands. Dense purple vines surged out of her ten fingers.

Lightning and Divine Purification Flame flowed on the vines and turned into a forest-like sea of lightning and fire.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

More than a thousand purple vines collided with the purple meteorite. In an instant, more than a hundred vines broke and flew into the starry sky.

However, the softness of the vines also quickly dispelled the violent and overbearing impact of the purple meteorite.

Saint Lord Zuo Mu let out a soft exclamation. He didn’t expect that a mere Saint Devourer could resist his attack.

Zhang Ruochen, who was below, raised his hands and shot out the Marks of Time.

Saint Lord Zuo Mu, whose spiritual power was sealed, didn’t know what kind of attack power the Mark of Time was. Hence, he didn’t dare to touch it. He immediately flew up on the purple meteorite.

Seeing the Self-Defined Mark of Time land on the purple meteorite, Zhang Ruochen smiled. He said weakly, “Let’s go. I’ll deal with him next time.”

With Self-Defined Mark of Time, Zhang Ruochen could sense Saint Lord Zuo Mu’s location no matter where he was

“Master, lend me Violet Gourd. I can fight him,” said Moyin.

Zhang Ruochen’s face grew paler. His aura became weak in a short time. He said with difficulty, “Even if you can fight him, you can’t kill him. There’s no point in fighting.”

Moyin saw that Zhang Ruochen was in a bad situation, so it stopped fighting. It grabbed his wrist and released the space rules to perform the Great Dimensional Shift.

‘As Zhang Ruochen’s parasitic plant, Moyin also practiced the Path of Dimension.

‘The purple meteorite flew up for more than a thousand miles before it stopped.

Saint Lord Zuo Mu, who was standing on the purple meteorite, looked far into the distance. He found that Moyin and Zhang Ruochen had performed Great Dimensional Shift several times and disappeared from his sight.

Without spiritual power, it was impossible to find out which direction Moyin and Zhang Ruochen were heading, let alone their location.

Ina Supreme Saint-level battle, a cultivator without spiritual power was like a blind man.

“It’s a pity. If I could take Supreme Artifact from Zhang Ruochen, I wouldn’t be afraid of any cultivator on the Celestial-Hunting battlefield.” Saint Lord Zuo Mu sighed in frustration.

For Celestial Captives, the only way to survive was to kill at least one Infernal Court cultivator who was a participant in the battle.

‘This was what the Fane of Destiny had promised!

Saint Lord Zuo Mu’s goal was to kill at least 50 Infernal Court Supreme Saints on the Battlefield. He wanted to humiliate the Infernal Court deities and see how far the Fane of Destiny would endure his provocation. He wanted to see if they would break their promise.

‘Taking a Supreme Artifact was the most important part of his crazy plan.

Zhang Ruochen retracted the ten golden wings on his back. There were dozens of wounds on his body, three of which pierced through his chest and back. His internal organs were almost completely shattered.

There was also Ghost Qi, Asuran Battle Qi, the Power of Curse, and the Power of Darkness in his body. All kinds of different powers were mixing together, destroying the life force of his Neverwilt level body.

Every time he fought with a cultivator, his opponent’s power would enter his body through the wounds.

If his injury hadn’t worsened, Zhang Ruochen would have continued fighting with his willpower.

Moyin stared at the wound on his chest. It was a shocking sight.

Zhang Ruochen’s body was like broken porcelain as if it could shatter into pieces with a light touch.

“Master, are we going back to the Immortal Vampires’ home planet to recuperate?” Moyin asked.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t answer her. “Can you set up a dimensional teleportation array?”

“Thave never done it before, but it shouldn’t be a problem,” said Moyin.

Zhang Ruochen said, “Find a hidden planet nearby and set up a dimensional teleportation array first.”

The Ghost Clan’s home planet was far away from the Immortal Vampires’ home planet. It was more than 100 million miles away. Even a Supreme Saint might not be able to reach it in ten days.

‘They could only cross over using a dimensional teleportation array.

Four hours later, Moyin and Zhang Ruochen arrived at a reddish-brown planet with a diameter of 5,000 miles. This planet didn’t have an atmosphere. It floated in a vast black fog.

‘The fog was formed from all kinds of poisonous gases. cultivators who had yet to attain Saint Kinghood didn’t dare to come close.

Zhang Ruochen used his spiritual power to check the planet. He didn’t find the presence of the cultivators from Infernal Court or Celestial Captives. “This is it!”

Boom!

Moyin threw the unconscious Lord Sinluo on the ground. At the south pole of the planet, it used the jade and divine stone fragments it’d gotten from Zhang Ruochen to set up a dimensional teleportation array.

Zhang Ruochen sat cross-legged on the bank of a lava river. He mobilized the Divine Purification Flame to refine the chaotic energy within his body.

If Zhang Ruochen didn’t refine the power of Xu, Ye Changzai, Que Fei and other opponents, his injuries would only get worse. He would never recover.

Not long after, Moyin finished setting up the dimensional teleportation array. Seeing that Zhang Ruochen was still refining, it didn’t disturb him. Instead, it took out Lord Sinluo’s Frostwood Bow.

She refined the Implement Spirit of Frostwood Bow and prepared it for future use.

A Class Three Regal Artifact was worth nearly 1,000 Godstones. If used well, each arrow could kill a Supreme Saint. It could be considered a great killing weapon.

Apart from the bow, there were six other arrows.

Each arrow was at the level of a Regal Artifact. The material and shape were different.

One of them was translucent, like a crystal. When Moyin injected Saint Qi into it, the arrow disappeared. It became invisible and didn’t emit any fluctuations.

It was a “Soul Arrow” made of Soul Crystals. It was specially used to kill the Saint Souls of cultivators. It was the most lethal to the ghosts who only had souls.

If it was combined with Dark Arrow practiced by Lord Sinluo, it could unleash even a more terrifying power. With it, the user could kill enemies whose cultivation ranks were higher than them.

After Moyin refined Frostwood Bow and the six arrows, it pressed its finger on the head of Lord Sinluo. Tendrils as thin as needles extended out and pierced into his scalp, entering his mind.

Lord Sinluo, who was unconscious, suddenly convulsed, his limbs flailing wildly, and he let out a shrill scream.

Moyin was searching Lord Sinluo’s soul, snatching his memories, and searching for an archery technique.

After a long while, tendrils retreated from Lord Sinluo’s head and disappeared.

Acharming smile appeared on Moyin’s snow-white flawless face.

“Eh?

Sensing a powerful Saint Qi coming from the fog above the planet, Moyin’s expression turned cold. She placed a divine wood arrow on Frostwood Bow and pulled it open.

Whoosh!

‘Wrapped by a cloud of Blood Qi, a beautiful woman broke through the fog and revealed herself.

She had ten silver wings on her back and was tall. Her long hair was like a waterfall, and her skin was flawless. A jade flute hung on her waist as she flew toward the south pole.

Moyin recognized her. She was Lord Xia Yu of Bloodysky Clan.

“Don’t come over.”

Moyin pointed the Divine Tree Arrow at Lord Xia Yu. Cold air radiated from the arrowhead, freezing the lava in the south pole into a river of ice.

Lord Xia Yu landed on the top of a crimson mountain. Seeing Zhang Ruochen sitting cross-legged on the ground, she frowned slightly. “What do you mean?”

Moyin pursed her red lips and smiled. “Master is recovering. No one is allowed to come near.”

“Not even me?”

Lord Xia Yu was a little angry. Her phoenix-like eyes shone with a bloody light.

“Of course.”

Zhang Ruochen did not trust anyone in Infernal Court, and Moyin either.

Moreover, Lord Xia Yu had many suspicious things, to begin with. It could not let her get close to Zhang Ruochen at this time.

For example, during the God-ascension Ceremony, when they were fighting for the leader of Bloodysky Clan, Lord Xia Yu was full of killing intent toward Zhang Ruochen.

Lord Xia Yu had promised Zhang Ruochen to break the Array of the Ghost clan’s home planet. But she disappeared at the most critical moment.

Moreover, she returned only after the battle when Zhang Ruochen was seriously injured.

What a coincidence!

Lord Xia Yu was so angry that she gnashed her teeth. It was just a Saint Devourer and Zhang Ruochen’s pet. How dare it point an arrow at her? How outrageous.

“You aren’t strong enough to block my way.”

Lord Xia Yu’s clothes fluttered in the wind. She flew over directly.

Boom!

Moyin shot the Divine Tree Arrow. It flew out of the bow, leaving a light trail dozens of meters long.

In the beginning, Lord Xia Yu did not see Moyin as a worthy opponent. However, the moment the Divine Tree Arrow flew out from Frostwood Bow, cold air swept across the realm.

Whoosh–

The planet’s south pole instantly turned into a glacier continent.

The Divine Tree Arrow was astonishingly sharp, forcing Lord Xia Yu to take out her Soul-siphoning Flute to counter it. Her body was sent flying back from the impact, and she landed on the glacier land a hundred kilometers away in a bad state. She was sent flying back another ten kilometers. Only then

did she stabilize herself.

Her right hand holding the flute felt pain and numbness.

“How can it be so strong? Even when Frostwood Bow is in the hands of Lord Sinluo, it can’t unleash such terrifying power.”

Lord Xia Yu was amazed.

She had cultivated Grade Three Saintwill, and she was ranked eleventh on the Hundred-Shackle Realm Great Perfection cultivator list. In time, if she could acquire a Thousand-Koan Realm Saint Technique, with her attainments in Array formation and Talisman, she would probably be ranked seventh or

even sixth, surpassing Pink Skull and Xu.

Lord Xia Yu was caught off guard because she had underestimated Moyin. She was shocked by Moyin’s arrow.

Even Zhang Ruochen’s pet had the strength of the top ten Hundred-Shackle Realm cultivator list.

“Come at me again.”

Lord Xia Yu was dominant and stubborn. Moyin had triggered her will to fight Moyin as a worthy opponent.

Moyin puffed up her chest and put on a stance. It smiled and said, “Haha, are you afraid of me?”

“Stop fighting. Save your strength. There is still a tough battle ahead.”

Zhang Ruochen’s voice was vast and mighty, spreading across the ice continent in the south pole.

The two looked in the direction of the voice. They saw Zhang Ruochen stand up after refining all kinds of energy invading his body. His external injuries were healed. He was shirtless, revealing his well-defined muscles. He was full of masculinity and charm that attracted female beings.

Lord Xia Yu was very proud and conceited, but at this moment, she could not help but take a few glances.

“Let Lord Xia Yu come here. She can be trusted,” Zhang Ruochen said.

“Yes, Master.”

Moyin flew to Zhang Ruochen’s side with a smile. She took out a blood-red robe and draped it over him. “‘m moved by a peerless man like Master. I just want to be with you forever, not a second apart.”

“You’re just a parasitic plant. If I were your master, I would refine you long ago. I wouldn’t allow you to have your own consciousness.”

Lord Xia Yu flew over and landed on the ground. She sized Zhang Ruochen up and said, “Why are you so weak? Are you severely injured?”

Although the external injuries had disappeared, the internal wounds wouldn’t heal in a short time.

“It doesn’t matter. I’ve refined the various energy that invaded my body. I have the Heart of the Divine Tree. Give me a day to recover.” Zhang Ruochen’s tone was indifferent.

Lord Xia Yu asked, “Did you destroy the Ghost Clan’s home planet?”

“Did you go back?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Lord Xia Yu nodded. “There was an accident on my side. I ran into big trouble. When I finally got rid of it. I went back and found that the Ghost clan’s home planet had tumed into a golden planet. It was surrounded by golden fog. No cultivator could break-in.

“I thought you had died there, but on the way back to the Immortal Vampires’ home planet, I found the marks you left, so I tracked you here.”

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes darkened. “I left those marks for you on purpose. By the way, what big trouble did you run into?”

Lord Xia Yu snorted, “Mauve Pupa, the top Corpusian elite,” she said. “This guy was lying in ambush near the home planet of the Ghost clan. When I was about to break the Array, he suddenly jumped out and attacked me. Fortunately, my spiritual power was strong, so I survived.”

“He was ranked tenth on the list of top Hundred-Shackle Realm cultivators, and I was ranked eleventh. Originally, I didn’t need to fear him.

“However, he held Corpusian’s Supreme Artifact. In this way, how could I be a match for him? I could only retreat.

“If [had a supreme-being saint weapon, I would not have feared him.”

Lord Xia Yu clenched her snow-white teeth tightly, and her bright eyes displayed strong killing intent.

Lord Xia Yu, who had been running for three days, had nowhere to vent her anger.

Zhang Ruochen put his hands behind his back. “I have an extra Supreme Artifact,” he said. “I can let you use it for now.

“Of course, I have conditions. You have to fight a few tough battles with me. However, if you’re unlucky, you might die.

“But if you’re lucky and survive, I’ll let you have that Supreme Artifact. You should think carefully before you decide..”
