âPrincess Luo Sha, we have been waiting for four days. When are we going to attack the seventh Dark Star? If we are worried that Lord Hornless is too powerful, we can attack from afar and deplete their Saint Qi. To do nothing like this is too passive!â
This was the sixth time Lord Bladehell came to see Luo Sha.
If it werenât for Gu Chenzi and Supreme Saint Yi Xuan stopping him, he would have led the Immortal Vampiresâ Supreme Saint cultivators away to take care of the Celestial Captives on the seventh Dark Star alone.
Lord Bladehell was very anxious. It wasnât easy for Zhang Ruochen to leave. He could finally show off and help the Qitian Clan collect more points. However, Princess Luo Sha led the cultivators of the two clans to hide and didnât dare to attack.
Once Zhang Ruochen returned, Lord Bladehell would lose his authority again.
How could Lord Bladehell not be anxious?
In the heptangular palace, Luo Sha was calmly practicing her calligraphy.
Luo Sha said, âOur enemies arenât just Lord Hornless and the 700 Supreme Saint Celestial Captives on the Dark Star. There are also the three upper clans, the Yanluo clan, and perhaps some hidden Supreme Saints in the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm. At this time, if they donât move, we canât move.â
Lord Bladehell said, âWe will lose 5,000 points if we attack the cultivators of the Infernal Court maliciously. If we kill one, we will lose 500,000 points. They all value points now. Do they dare to attack us? There are only a few cultivators like Zhang Ruochen who donât follow the rules.â
Luo Sha calmly practiced her calligraphy and said, âThey wonât attack first. Instead, they will force us to attack them first. At that time, we will be the ones losing points.â
âIf we donât attack, no matter how much they force us, it will be useless,â Lord Bladehell said disdainfully.
Slap
Luo Sha slapped Lord Bladehell without warning.
Lord Bladehell was completely taken aback. Then, from his chest and abdomen, a wave of rage erupted.
Lord Bladehell thought angrily, âWhat was that for?
âShe, Princess Luo Sha, is unbelievable. She is the daughter of Luo Yan and Amane. You are born with extraordinary nobility. However, I am not an ordinary cultivator. How can you hit me just like that?
âFurthermore, I am being slapped in the face.
âThis is a great humiliation.
âA Supreme Saint can be killed but not humiliated.â
Luo Shengtian, who had been silent the entire time, stood up from his seat. He did not move or show his might. However, Lord Bladehellâs anger was suppressed by him.
Luo Sha smiled sweetly and said, âI am forcing you this way! Hey, I am only demonstrating. Why are you getting angry, Lord Bladehell?â
Itâs more than angry.
Lord Bladehell thought, âEven if you had thousands of reasons, I would have broken at least one of your hands with just this slap if it hadnât been for Luo Shengtian standing by the side.â
Restraint? Forbearance?
Those didnât exist.
He, Lord Bladehell, represented the face of the Qitian Clan. If his face was damaged, what was there to endure? With a slap, it would be a deadly enmity.
Lord Bladehellâs face tensed up and he said coldly, âYour Highness, is this a demonstration? How could the three upper clans and the Yanluo clan humiliate me in such a way?â
Luo Sha shook her head and said, âNo, it wonât be that simple. However, when the time comes, it wonât be just your face that will be slapped, Lord Bladehell. But the entire face of the Immortal Vampires. Once the Immortal Vampires lose all their faces, will you fight or not? Will you take the initiative to attack them?â
The Battle of Celestial-Hunting was a competition between the ten clans, an all-round competition.
The Immortal Vampires would lose all face if the battle ended. Even if they won first place, they would be mocked by a large number of people.
Luo Sha continued, âWhen I slapped you just now, the Mystic Eye of Myriad Realms didnât deduct any points. Donât you think itâs interesting? There are too many loopholes in the so-called rules. Theyâre useless.â
Lord Bladehell glanced at Luo Shengtian and calmed down. He said, âIâm curious. How would they make the Immortal Vampires lose all their faces?â
Luo Sha shook his head. âWhich clan suffered the most humiliation in the whole Battle of Celestial-Hunting?â
âThe Ghosts,â Lord Bladehell said.
Luo Sha said, âThe Battle of Celestial-Hunting had just begun, and the Ghosts were destroyed by Zhang Ruochen alone. It was indeed shameful. However, the number one Ghost powerhouse died heroically. He would be respected by all the Ghost cultivators. Besides, the Ghosts were destroyed by the cultivators of the Infernal Court. Zhang Ruochen is a rare gem in a Yuanhui period. Itâs not shameful to lose to him.â
Lord Bladehellâs eyes narrowed. He asked, âYou mean the Stone Clan?â
âYes,â said Luo Sha.
Luo Sha said, âLord Lei was the representative of the Stone Clan. He was the Supreme Artifactâs controller, but he was assassinated by the Celestial Captives and the Supreme Artifact was also taken away. The cultivators of the Infernal Court wouldnât pity him. They would only insult him and the entire Stone Clan. Not only would they disgrace the Stone Clan, but they would also disgrace the entire Infernal Court.
âThink about it. If our two clans attack the seventh Dark Star right now, the Celestial Captives, including Lord Hornless, would regard us as their biggest enemies.
âIf the battle reached the point where it was in full swing, the top powerhouses of the three upper clans and the Yanluo clan would suddenly attack us and plot against us. They donât need to plot against too many people. They only need to plot against you, Lord Bladehell, me, and my royal brother. If the three of us fall into the hands of Lord Hornless or are killed by him, what will be the consequences?
âIf Lord Hornless humiliates us, the Rakshasa cultivators and the Immortal Vampires wonât be able to take down the Dark Star. At that moment, if they are slightly provoked by someone, the Rakshasa, and the Immortal Vampires who carry their hatred will attack the three upper clans and the Yanluo clan. That way, we will fall into their trap.â
Lord Bladehellâs expression changed again and again when he heard this. At the same time, he was a little afraid of Luo Sha.
Lord Bladehell thought, âThis womanâs thoughts were too deep!
âPerhaps, she also wanted to use this method to deal with the three upper clans and the Yanluo Clan.â
Luo Sha said, âLord Bladehell, you have walked into a blind spot. In the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting, no matter how powerful the Celestial Captives are, they are just prey and points. They are not our opponents. You canât even tell your opponents apart. No wonder you were the number one powerhouse of the Immortal Vampires back then, but you couldnât represent the Immortal Vampires to control the Supreme Artifact.â
âAlright, Iâm convinced. Iâll take my leave,â said Lord Bladehell.
Lord Bladehell turned around and left. There was still a knot in his heart that he couldnât resolve.
When Lord Bladehell thought of putting the overall situation first, he temporarily endured it. However, Princess Luo Sha was too arrogant. Sooner or later, he would have to teach her a lesson.
Of course, Luo Sha knew that Lord Bladehell hated her, but it didnât matter. She didnât care about a mere Lord Bladehell.
It was a good thing to make him hate and angry.
Only then Lord Bladehell was easy to manipulate and deal with in this state.
The Rakshasas and the Immortal Vampires were both in an alliance and were competing for points.
Luo Sha saw that Lord Bladehell was about to walk out of the gate, she said, âNone of the clans dare to take the points on the seventh Dark Star. However, there are other Celestial Captives on the battlefield. If Lord Bladehell is too bored, you can lead the Immortal Vampires to sweep the area.â
After Lord Bladehellâs presence disappeared, Luo Shengtian sighed, âLord Bladehell is a powerhouse who condensed a Grade Three Saintwill after all. He has a bright future. You shouldnât have offended him.â
Luo Sha said, âIt was just a slap. He wasnât injured.â
âYou slapped his face,â Luo Shengtian said.
Luo Sha said, âHe was too stupid. If he impulsively led the cultivators of the two clans to their deaths, we would have suffered a crushing defeat! This slap can make him sober up a bit.â
Luo Shengtian shook his head and planned to chase after Lord Bladehell.
Luo Sha said, âDid you swallow the Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill?â
Luo Shengtian shook his head, he said, âAlthough Iâve comprehended some things from the Return to the Hidden, thereâs still only a 30-40% chance of cultivating a Grade Two Saintwill. I intend to cultivate in seclusion for some time after the Battle of Celestial-Hunting concludes. When Iâm completely prepared, Iâll take the Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill. Perhaps the likelihood will be even higher.â
Luo Sha sighed. She wanted to say something but stopped. Finally, she waved her hand, âGo!â She said, âBut remember, Lord Bladehell holds a grudge. Itâs useless to apologize to him. As long as he has absolute power, heâll naturally give in and give up on revenge.â
Luo Shengtian chased after Lord Bladehell.
Luo Sha sighed again.
âThis royal brother looked mighty and domineering, but he was indecisive. He was even more indecisive than Zhang Ruochen. Zhang Ruochen was only indecisive in matters of the heart.â Luo Sha thought.
A Grade Two Saintwill could only be condensed in two ways. Either way, it was a success or a failure. There was no such thing as a 30-40% chance.
Even if there was only a slight chance, other cultivators would have already swallowed the Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill. They wouldnât hold it in their hands all the time and gradually lose their confidence in trying to condense a Grade Two Saintwill.
How could a Grade Two Saintwill be condensed without a big heart and great boldness?
Luo Sha was certain that once they left the Celestial-Hunting Battlefield, her royal brotherâs Quasi-Emperor Grade Saintill Pill would be taken away by her father. This was because her royal brother could no longer condense a Grade Two Saintwill, and swallowing it would be a waste.
Hesitation was a big taboo.
âBoth Wujiang and her royal brother have lost the right to try for a Grade Two Saintwill. Who will be the next to fall?â
Luo Sha unconsciously wrote Yan Huangtuâs name on the sand table.
âIt should be Yan Huangtu. He cultivates the Imperial Path and must defeat all the powerhouses of his generation to accumulate his might to the pinnacle before he has the chance to condense a Grade Two Saintwill. Unfortunately, he was born in the wrong era. He is destined to be a foil to this era.â
Luo Sha crossed out the name of Yan Huangtu. Finally, she wrote names such as Que, Yan Wushen, and Zhang Ruochen on the sand table.
In the fourth row, she also wrote Lan Ying and Pan Ruo, but there was a question mark at the end.
âThe Grand Supreme Elixir Master personally refined a batch of Saintwill Pills. He thinks highly of the cultivators of this generation and wants to help them. If Zhang Ruochen was the only one who cultivated the perfect Grade Two Saintwill in the end, he would be very disappointed,â Luo Sha mumbled to herself.
âŚ
Time flew by.
Before they knew it, dozens of days had passed. It was the last day of the Battle of Celestial-Hunting.
During this time, the three upper clans, the Rakshasas, and the Yanluo clan all sent their top powerhouses to attack the Celestial Captives on the Dark Star. Of course, they mainly attacked the Celestial Captives instead of fighting them head-on.
There were almost no casualties among the Celestial Captives on the Dark Star.
However, they had consumed a lot of their Saint Qi and were in an extremely weak state.
If it werenât for the various clans in the Infernal Court restraining each other, they would have been exterminated long ago.
They would have been exterminated long ago if it hadnât been for the various clans in the Infernal Court restraining each other.
Except for the seventh Dark Star, the Celestial Captives on the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting had been repeatedly wiped out by the cultivators of the other clans. Almost all of them had been eliminated.
The Immortal Vampires still ranked first with 92 million points.
The Yanluo clan ranked second with 82 million points.
The Nether Clan ranked third with 41 million points.
The Rakshasas ranked fourth with 39 million points.
The Deathkin ranked fifth with 35 million points.
The Bone Clan ranked sixth with 30 million points.
The Asuras ranked seventh, the Corpusians ranked eighth, the Stone Clan ranked ninth, and the Ghosts ranked tenth.
The Immortal Vampiresâ points were decreasing because they had lost nearly ten million points after being slaughtered in large numbers.
In addition, Yan Huangtu had captured tens of millions of Immortal Vampires and brought them to the edge of the seventh Dark Star. He had killed them cruelly in front of the Mystic Eye of Myriad Realms.
At that time, the entire space was filled with screams and wails.
The scene spread throughout the ten clans of Infernal Court.
The Immortal Vampires Supreme Saints couldnât help but launch an attack against the Yanluo clan cultivators.
HenceâŚ
Many of Immortal Vampiresâ points were deducted.
At that time, Lord Bladehell finally understood what it meant to lose face, what it meant to be humiliated, and what it meant to force you to attack. He knew that his points would be deducted, but he still couldnât control himself and had to rush forward to fight.
Luo Shaâs slap didnât wake him up.
However, Yan Huangtu had woken him up!
âŚ
Yan Wushen and Yan Huangtu stood side by side in the air, gazing at the stars in the sky.
Yan Huangtu asked, âAfter obtaining the opportunity of our clanâs home planet, you should have condensed a Grade Two Saintwill, right?â
âWe should all be clear that the most important thing on the path of cultivation is to keep moving forward bravely and climbing higher mountains. A mere Saintwill is just a fleeting moment for us. How to write about the future is more important than this.â said Yan Wushen as he did not directly answer Yan Huangtuâs question.
But Yan Huangtu already had the answer. He said, âThis is the last battle. No matter what, we must not lose to the Immortal Vampires, even if our methods are a little despicable.â
Yan Huangtu had disdained to torture and kill the Immortal Vampires in the past.
Yan Huangtu had no choice but to do it for the sake of the Yanluo clan.
âThere is no distinction between noble and despicable means. There is only a difference between being useful and being useless,â Yan Wushen said.
Yan Huangtu said, âNext, I will go to the Immortal Vampiresâ home planet and find all their people. As long as we kill them, the scales of victory will tilt in our favor.â
Yan Wushen said, âThe Immortal Vampiresâ home planet has been built like an iron wall. It will be extremely dangerous.â
âIâm not going alone. There are also the Bone Clan cultivators,â Yan Huangtu said.
Yan Wushen said, âBring all the Array Masters, Talisman Masters, and The Eight Sons of Life and Death with you. They can disrupt the Immortal Vampiresâ array formation outside the planet. That way, after you enter the planet, you can easily capture Lord Xia Yu and the Immortal Vampiresâ Array Masters and Talisman Masters in one fell swoop.â
Although one of The Eight Sons of Life and Death had died, they quickly picked another Supreme Saint at the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm to substitute.
Of course, the Indestructible Great Array formed by the Eight Sons of Life and Death was not as good as before.
Yan Huangtu revealed a surprised expression and said, âIâve taken all the powerhouses away. What about you?â
âI have my ways. Moreover, Iâll come to the Immortal Vampiresâ home planet soon to meet you. At that time, when we join hands, the situation of the entire Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting will be under Yanluo Clanâs control. Weâll use our actions to tell the entire Infernal Court that the position of the Yanluo clan as the supreme clan is not something that any clan can provoke.â said Yan Wushen. His long hair fluttered in the wind, his eyes were sharp, and there seemed to be flames burning in his pupils.
The nebula churned and the air current surged. It was as if it was a sign that a world-shaking battle was about to begin.
Yan Huangtu said, âThen I will cut off half of the Immortal Vampiresâ points first. If I want to fight, I will beat them into the mud and let them remember the power of the Yanluo clan forever.â
âBe wary of Zhang Ruochen,â Yan Wushen reminded.
Yan Huangtu had already flown away. His voice traveled back. âFacing a great force, even if Zhang Ruochen has the power to reach the heavens, heâll be like a boat in the water that capsizes instantly and shatters into pieces.â
âYeah, in the face of the great force, how can one personâs power turn the tide?â said Yan Wushen.
Yan Wushen turned around and entered the dark space. A moment later, he appeared in front of the cultivators of the three upper clans.
