Chapter 2377: Massacre
Snowpetra was originally a barren city in an ancient ruin.
After countless years of baptism, it gave birth to a spirit, and the spirit condensed into a true soul. Under the guidance of the Stone Clan’s gods, it embarked on the path of cultivation.
It was called Lei.
The gods of Stone Clan had placed high hopes on Lei. Hoping that he could cultivate divinity and transform Snowpetra into a divine city to support the greatest Fane of Stone Clan.
Lei did not let them down. He displayed outstanding talent and became one of the leading figures of this era.
He was titled, Lord Lei after reaching Supreme Saint realm.
Who would have thought that Lord Lei would be defeated on Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting?
In Snowpetra, there were beams of holy light like fireflies. They were Celestial Captives who were sitting cross-legged on the ground. There were countless of them and even the weakest one was a Demi-Saint.
The city walls were covered in blood inscriptions.
It was the power of blood inscriptions that had burst out. They formed a formation and blocked Zhang Ruochen’s Class Two Regal Artifact sword.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
After a series of ear-piercing sword sounds, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the battle sword.
Boom!
The battle sword exploded.
Dozens of sword fragments flew out and charged at Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen mobilized Precepts of Dimension and formed a three-thousand-meter-wide Profound Spatial Dimension. All the sword fragments flying toward him twisted and avoided his body.
“What a powerful Defensive Array,” Zhang Ruochen sighed.
Suddenly, dense stone swords rose up in Snowpetra. The tip of the sword was facing up, and the hilt was facing down.
“Oh no!”
Luo Sha frowned deeply. Holding Dark Divinity Lotus in her hand, she flew quickly toward Snowpetra.
“Why are there so many stone swords?”
Even though Lord Bladehell was thousands of miles away, he felt the danger and instinctively wanted to escape.
However, he thought of the hundred Immortal Vampire’s Supreme Saints who were still in Zhang Ruochen’s gourd. No matter how many stone swords came hitting, he could block them all.
What was there to be afraid of?
Lord Bladehell stayed where he was. He glared at the Saint King-level Celestial Captive and said, “Low life, is this a trap?”
The Saint King-level Celestial Captive trembled in fear at Lord Bladehell’s Supreme Saint Aura. He lay in the void space and said in a trembling voice, “I don’t dare, I definitely don’t dare…”
“I don’t think you dare either.”
Lord Bladehell stared at the blood vessels on the Celestial Captive’s neck. If he hadn’t been worried that Zhang Ruochen would scold him, he would have already opened his mouth and sucked the Celestial Captive’s blood dry.
In his eyes, no matter how strong Celestial Captives were, they were just food.
…
Zhang Ruochen was decisive. He released Saint Aspect of Time and Saint Aspect of Dimension at the same time. He extracted a drop of Dark Space-time Matter from each of the two Saint Aspects.
The two drops of Dark Space-time Matter spun around each other, releasing blacklight threads that twisted together.
Releasing two drops of Dark Space-time Matter at once was very dangerous. Zhang Ruochen had never tried it before, but he had no choice but to do it now.
Boom
As soon as the two drops of Dark Space-time Matter collided with the blood-red array, they immediately exploded and turned into a huge black cloud, enveloping the entire Snowpetra.
Looking from afar, it seemed to be swallowed by darkness.
The chaotic power of time and space spread in all directions, forcing Luo Sha who was trying to get close, to stop. She had no choice but to immediately use her defensive power to resist.
Within a 500-mile radius, even a Supreme Saint wouldn’t dare to get close to the forbidden zone.
Only Zhang Ruochen, who had profound attainments in Time and Dimension, avoided the strongest impact of Dark Space-time Matter and rushed toward Snowpetra again.
This was the moment.
He charged in in one go.
The blood-red array light screen was carved by tens thousands of Saint-level cultivators. Even if two drops of Dark Space-time Matter exploded at the same time, they still couldn’t break it.
Snowpetra shook violently. All the Celestial Captives were shocked.
The sky became extremely dark and nothing could be seen.
What was more terrifying was that the light screen was corroded by the dark energy and became much dimmer.
The densely packed stone swords floated in the air, but they didn’t know where to slash.
All the Celestial Captives looked at the high platform in the center of Snowpetra.
Kymorpho, one of the five thousand Thousand-Koan Realm Celestial Captives, was standing on the high platform. She was an old woman with white hair. It was as if there was a mountain on her back. Her body was so bent that it almost touched the ground.
Kymorpho’s eyes were blood-red. She looked up and said hoarsely, “Here he comes. Kill him.”
Bang!
Just now, where the two drops of Dark Space-time Matter hit, an extremely sharp sword light pierced through the array and struck straight down to Snowpetra.
It was Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen’s body was wrapped by 36 Dimensional Swords and flew down.
Hundreds thousands of stone swords suspended in the air turned into sword rain and flew out.
“Profound Spatial Dimension.”
“Dimensional Warp.”
“Dimension Solidification.”
…
Zhang Ruochen used Power of Dimensions to the extreme to block and dodge the stone swords.
At the same time, the 36 Dimensional Swords danced wildly, making dense sounds of metal and stone colliding. All the stone swords that approached him were smashed into powder.
They flew from the sky to the ground.
Boom!
Zhang Ruochen landed in the city. The hundred-mile-long ancient city sank dozens of feet. The force under his feet shook the dozens of Saint-level Celestial Captives closest to him until their bones and blood were separated, turning into blood mist and skeletons.
More than 300 Saint-level Celestial Captives were thrown out. They were badly injured and couldn’t get up from the ground.
Divine flames surged from Zhang Ruochen’s feet. His aura soared. One strike towards the sky sent the sword stream that was made of thousands stone swords to fly all around.
“Stop!”
Kymorpho who stood on the high platform made a deep and long sound.
Hundreds thousands of stone swords stopped attacking in the air. They floated above Zhang Ruochen’s head like stars.
Zhang Ruochen was fearless. As a Master of Time and Space, he wasn’t afraid of being surrounded. This didn’t scare him.
His gaze fell on Kymorpho. He was a little surprised. “I didn’t expect a Thousand-Koan Realm Celestial Captive.”
“Zhang Ruochen. I’m from Demon God Realm. My name is Kymorpho. I’ve cultivated in the Supreme Saint-level for 9,000 years.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Cultivated for 900 years yet you’ve only reached the initial stage of Thousand-Koan Realm. Your talents are so-so, you’ll never reach divinity. Oh wait, you even can’t touch the edge of becoming a demi-god.”
“I don’t want to argue with you because you’ve fallen into a fatal trap. Now, I just want you to know who killed you.” Kymorpho’s voice was soft and weak, she looked old.
Zhang Ruochen was noncommittal. “Really?”
“It seems that you don’t believe me,”
Kymorpho laughed. Her voice was very strange, it sounded like a ghost’s cry.
“Bring them up,” she said.
Immediately, 13 Celestial Captives, including the Supreme Lord of Southern Sword Realm, were escorted up by a group of Celestial Captive elites made up of Nine-Step Saint Kings. They all knelt below the platform.
Kymorpho said, “You used them to spy for you, but with their cultivation level how could they escape my eyes. Do you really think that there aren’t any capable people among Celestial Captives?”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes swept over the 13 Celestial Captives of Southern Sword Realm.
He found that there were many more wounds on their bodies. Two of them had their flesh cut off with a knife. Only their heads were left with flesh and blood, but their bodies had turned into white bones.
It was obvious that they had experienced torture.
“This is what happens when you join Infernal Court!”
Kymorpho waved her arm, and thirteen streams of blood mist flew out from her palm and landed on the bodies of the 13 Celestial Captives of Southern Sword Realm.
Instantly, the 13 Celestial Captives let out shrill screams. The bones on their bodies gradually melted, and they could no longer support their bodies. They collapsed to the ground.
The blood mist that Kymorpho shot out had the power to corrode bones.
The stronger the life force was, the longer it would be tortured. The bone-eroding pain would last until one’s death.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were extremely cold.
He was about to attack, but as soon as he moved, dense blood inscriptions appeared under his feet. They were like thousands of tentacles pulling his feet.
There were 30,000 blood inscriptions controlled by 30,000 Saint-level cultivators.
Those cultivators included Demi-Saints, Saint-level cultivators, and Saint Kings.
Whoosh
Zhang Ruochen raised his feet again.
The number of blood inscriptions increased to 100,000. Now, the blood inscriptions were controlled by 100,000 Saint-level cultivators.
The cultivation and battle strength of a Supreme Saint was indeed far superior to other Saint-level cultivators.
However, a large number of ants could bite an elephant to death.
Furthermore, Saint-level cultivators were much more powerful than ants. They were scorpions, wasps, and centipedes. Let alone 100,000, even 10,000 of them could kill a Supreme Saint if they were well prepared.
Kymorpho’s trap in Snowpetra wasn’t just set up with 100,000 Saint-level cultivators, it was with a million.
“Don’t move. The more you move, the more blood inscriptions you’ll draw.” Kymorpho revealed her yellowish-brown teeth and smiled.
Zhang Ruochen could see that Kymorpho was at the center of everything. “You broke the spiritual power seal?”
“You can see that? That means you’re not that stupid,”
Kymorpho released her Saint Aspect of spiritual power. Hundreds of blood rivers appeared behind it, converging into a blood butterfly that was hundreds of feet long.
The Butterfly’s body was in the form of a Kylin.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Without strong spiritual power, you can’t see through that the Southern Sword Realm’s Celestial Captives are working for me.
“Without strong spiritual power as a support, you can’t set up the blood inscriptions array and trap. It’s not difficult to guess that you broke through the spiritual power seal. I’m just curious. How did you do it?”
“My spiritual power has reached 66th level, but it has always been hidden. It only shows the strength of a 60th level. Gods from Infernal Court are too stupid to notice this. Therefore, I easily broke through the spiritual power seal placed on me.” A contemptuous smile appeared in Kymorpho’s eyes.
Zhang Ruochen frowned deeply and said, “This labor job of sealing Celestial Captives’ spiritual power should be done by some Demigods and pseudo gods. Most of their spiritual power is below the 70th level. They might be fooled by you.”
In the void space, Lord Bladehell lifted the Saint King-level Celestial Captive, he said angrily, “Damn you! How dare you join hands with those Celestial Captives to deceive me. Believe it or not, I will suck your blood right now! After the battle of Celestial-Hunting is over, I will lead Immortal Vampires to suck the blood of all living beings in Southern Sword Realm.”
“I don’t think this has anything to do with him. It’s Kymorpho who tampered with his memory. Lord Bladehell, don’t waste your time on him. Come with me and break the blood inscriptions array first and save Zhang Ruochen,”
Luo Sha threw out the seven-cornered palace and released dozens of Supreme Saint-level Rakshasi.
They quickly formed an array and stood around Luo Sha. They released their spiritual power and shot it into Dark Divinity Lotus.
Whoosh
Luo Sha pushed it lightly.
Dark Divinity Lotus flew out like a miracle. An endless army of death flew out and attacked the blood inscriptions array.
Luo Sha was very confident in Zhang Ruochen. A group of Celestial Captives below the level of a Supreme Saint could not do anything to him.
However, Kymorpho was a huge variable. Her spiritual power was too strong. It was enough to pose a fatal threat to Zhang Ruochen.
Only by breaking through this layer of defense could Zhang Ruochen advance and retreat calmly. He would not be trapped and die inside.
“This Rakshasa Princess is so amazing.”
Lord Bladehell looked at the sky full of saint corpses. He withdrew his contempt and picked up his saber to join the attack.
Boom! Boom!
Dense booming sounds came from all directions of Snowpetra.
Kymorpho raised her head to take a look. Her expression changed slightly. “Attack! Kill Zhang Ruochen as fast as you can.”
In the ancient city, the blood light on the ground flourished.
Millions of blood inscriptions spread toward Zhang Ruochen like countless poisonous snakes.
“You don’t even know you’re about to die.”
Zhang Ruochen shook his head lightly as he strike the gourd.
As Violet Gourd flew up, Supreme Saints of Immortal Vampires flew out one after another. They all released terrifying Saint Aura and charged in all directions like endless weapons descending from the heavens.
There were more than 600 Supreme Saints.
Among them were Lord Sinluo, Yue Tinghai, Supreme Saint Yi Xuan, Gu Chenzi, and others. They were all elites in the Great Perfection of Hundred-Shackle Realm.
In Snowpetra, apart from Kymorpho, everyone was below Supreme Saint Realm.
If the Supreme Saints of Immortal Vampires hadn’t broken into blood inscriptions formation, they could have fought back with the arrangements they had made in Snowpetra.
However, Kymorpho was too clever. She wanted to kill Zhang Ruochen, but she didn’t expect Zhang Ruochen to bring an army of Immortal Vampires’ Supreme Saints into the city.
“So many Saint-level Celestial Captives. That’s great.”
“They’re all points. Kill! Kill! Kill!”
“You think you can stop me with just a few blood inscriptions? You’re too naive.”
…
The army of more than 600 Supreme Saints was a terrifying force no matter where they were.
The Celestial Captives in Snowpetra were slaughtered by them.
This was a massacre and a harvest. Kymorpho and Celestial Captives had indeed prepared all sorts of methods. However, they were not facing a Supreme Saint. Instead, they were facing an army of Supreme Saints.
Kymorpho’s teeth trembled. A murderous look appeared in her eyes as she released an ear-piercing sound wave from her mouth.
Wherever the sound wave spread, the Supreme Saints of Immortal Vampires immediately held their heads in pain and fell from the sky. They rolled to the ground. Their spiritual power and Saint Souls were severely injured.
Whoosh —
Suddenly, a dimensional barrier formed around Kymorpho, blocking all the sound waves.
The sound wave surged back and attacked Kymorpho.
“Power of Dimensions.”
Kymorpho noticed this and immediately stopped the sound waves and spiritual power attacks. Her body entered the Saint Aspect of spiritual power and became one with it.
The Saint Aspect of spiritual power of the blood butterfly let out a long cry. “Zhang Ruochen, I want you to die miserably.”
Zhang Ruochen had already broken free from the blood inscriptions and appeared below the high platform not far away from Kymorpho. He looked at the 13 Celestial Captives of Southern Sword Realm whose bones had melted. Not only had their bones turned into pus, but even their flesh and blood had been corroded.
They were all screaming and suffering unbearable pain.
The Supreme Lord of Southern Sword Realm said with a trembling voice, “Zhang-Zhang Ruochen, don’t-don’t-don’t forget… your promise to us…”
“Even though what you did wasn’t very efficient, I still managed to find them. If Immortal Vampires win first place among the 10 clans, you’ll definitely have a share of the credit. You can go in peace. I’ll take care of Southern Sword World!”
Hearing this, the 13 Celestial Captives who had been in extreme pain, smiled.
Bzzz
Zhang Ruochen waved his arm and shot out Divine Purification Flame, burning the 13 of them into ashes.
They couldn’t be saved anymore.
Rather than for them to continue suffering, it was better to give them a quick death.
As for the idea of preserving their Saint Souls, Zhang Ruochen didn’t even think about it. As the gods of Infernal Court wanted him to be a merciless saber.
If a saber was too soft and dull to kill a Celestial Captive, how could it be a saber of the gods?
If he wanted to get more resources, become stronger quickly, and cultivate the Grade One Saintwill, he had to be the saber at this stage.
Zhang Ruochen raised his face and looked at the blood-red butterfly in the air with killing intent in his eyes.
Swoosh!
He spread his ten wings and flew up. His left arm formed a palm print, and the Phantom of ten Swastika Seiryus appeared. They burst out with a deafening dragon’s roar and struck at him with a palm.
