Chapter 2503: The Death of Four Elites

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

An 800-mile-long ghost ship sailed through the endless darkness of the universe. It emitted a strong yin qi that was like a river or a sea. It shook the rocks of the universe and flew toward Oort Cloud Asteroid Belt.

When the ghost ship was far away, Zhang Ruochen walked out of his hiding place and said to himself, “How did the leader of League of Ourang Celeste catch up with me? The temptation of a divine weapon is indeed powerful.”

After killing Lord Ironclad, Zhang Ruochen was not in a hurry to go. Instead, he hid his aura.

In less than half a day, Zhang Ruochen had seen four groups of cultivators rushing toward Oort Cloud Asteroid Belt, including the leader of League of Ourang Celeste.

Obviously, the fact that the Oort Cloud Asteroid Belt had a space wormhole was no secret. The leaders of the various forces had probably guessed that the cultivators of Celestial Court would escape from there after taking Tensho Compass.

Meritorious Armor of Flowing Light was indeed fast, but the Supreme Saints of Banshi Isshou and Paramount Realm were each creepier than the last. Some of them could burst out at 10,000 times the speed of sound just by relying on their own cultivation.

The key was that these Paramount Realm Supreme Saints could continue to borrow the power of heaven and earth and fly non-stop.

Naturally, Zhang Ruochen was caught up.

“Oort Cloud Asteroid Belt has become a gathering place of big shots. I can’t go there anymore!”

Zhang Ruochen thought for a moment and noticed something. His eyes lit up. “Since all the powerful ones are going to Oort Cloud Asteroid Belt, isn’t Hoth much safer now?”

Thinking of this, Zhang Ruochen didn’t hesitate at all to hide and took a detour back to Hoth.

He didn’t need to rush back as time didn’t matter. The key was to not be discovered.

Hoth was in the west, but Zhang Ruochen chose to circle south.

He was hundreds of millions of miles away from Hoth. He could see the outline of a disc-sized star. No matter how he circled, he wouldn’t get lost in the universe.

After a few days of traveling, Zhang Ruochen arrived more than 100 million miles south of Hoth. He was a little proud that he didn’t run into any cultivators.

This proved that his choice was right.

Along the way, Zhang Ruochen summarized his battle with Lord Ironclad. He kept deducing in his mind to think of a better solution and the mistakes he’d made.

“Lord Ironclad suspects me. What should I do if I run into other cultivators? How can I become another cultivator without being suspected?

“Try not to expose the weapon and the Power of Time and Space. It’s best to hide the characteristics of Immortal Vampires and humans.”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to hide that he was a man.

He didn’t want to become a savage beast or a woman.

After performing the 36 transformations, Zhang Ruochen’s bones, muscles, and appearance changed quickly.

Soon, he turned into a tall and ugly Rakshasa Supreme Saint. He had bone wings on his back and armor on his body. He had also changed into Regal Artifact armor that he had taken from a Rakshasa cultivator.

“I’m ugly, but I’ll turn back after I leave Hoth!”

Zhang Ruochen touched his nose, which was the size of a fist. The evil Qi in his body surged. He spread his bone wings and flew out.

On the way, he met a dead, gray planet that was moving in the universe.

Judging from its size, it should be a second-level planet.

“Hey! There’s the energy fluctuation of a Supreme Saint.”

Zhang Ruochen was a little surprised. All the Supreme Saints of Hoth were fighting for Tensho Compass and the supreme-grade Divine Crystal of Origin. How could a Supreme Saint appear here?

He mobilized his Saint Qi and Precept of Truth to his eyes and looked across the distance.

He saw a crack hundreds of miles long on the planet. Several figures flew on the planet at an incredible speed.

“The aura seems familiar.”

Zhang Ruochen hesitated and thought about whether to check the situation.

The supreme-grade Divine Crystal of Origin and Tensho Compass were on him. He didn’t want to meddle in other people’s business and cause trouble, but he was very curious.

“Forget it. It’s better to have less trouble.”

Zhang Ruochen restrained his aura and prepared to leave quietly.

However, a cultivator on the planet noticed his peeping just now. Wisps of white light appeared around him out of thin air. They condensed into a light hand that was dozens of miles long and slapped toward him.

The other party attacked from thousands of miles away.

“The Power of Light, a Supreme Saint of Celestial Court?” Zhang Ruochen’s eyes darkened. Killing intent rose in his heart.

He used to be on different sides with Infernal Court in the past, now they just have different visions. However, the hatred between him and Celestial Court was far deeper and real. Any contact with Celestial Court would definitely end badly.

Zhang Ruochen took out a Warhammer at the level of a Regal Artifact. He swung it and shattered the light hand. It turned into a streak of evil light and landed on the gray planet.

This planet was made of a crystal-like material. It was like a spiritual crystal. It was extremely hard and several times stronger than ordinary iron.

This place had once been a mineral planet. Many mines had been left behind.

Zhang Ruochen held the Warhammer and restrained his aura. He rushed toward the direction of the battle. Not long after, he found a bloody corpse in a collapsed crystal mountain.

The Supreme Saint’s blood dyed the mountain red, presenting was a strange color.

The Power of Light enveloped the corpse and purified the remnant soul.

The corpse was almost shattered. Only half of the body was still intact. One could barely see the face.

“Terra Demon, Xuanwu Ji.”

Zhang Ruochen recognized the dead person.

He had seen this person in the House of Enchanteurs of Divine Domain of Destiny. At that time, he had followed Yan Huangtu along with three other Terra Demon Supreme Saints. He was a Supreme Saint at the peak of Thousand-Koan Realm.

“To be able to kill a Supreme Saint at the peak of Thousand-Koan Realm, one must be at least at the advanced stage or the peak of Banshi Isshou Realm.”

Zhang Ruochen raised his head and looked at the saint light rising like the crimson sunset in the distance. His eyes became solemn. He felt that he had been too rash and should not have set foot on this planet.

With the supreme-grade Divine Crystal of Origin and Tensho Compass, he should have suppressed his curiosity and hatred entirely.

He could kill Lord Ironclad because Lord Ironclad had never thought of escaping and had been lured into the void space by him.

If Lord Ironclad wanted to escape, not even a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint could effortlessly kill him.

“Forget it, I’m already here!”

Zhang Ruochen quickly regained his composure and continued his chase.

When he caught up, the battleground changed again. There were only two corpses left on the ground.

They were Xuanwu Tian and Xuanwu Ying of Terra Demon.

Xuanwu Tian’s cultivation was in the mid-stage of Thousand-Koan Realm. His body had been shattered into bones. His Saint Soul had long dissipated. One could only identify him by his unique aura.

Xuanwu Ying was left with a headless corpse. He stood on the lava-filled battlefield. His head was nowhere to be found.

From afar, Terra Demon’s Elder, Kun Yunhuang, let out a long howl.

Heaven and earth’s Saint Qi turned into streams and rushed over. The power of the entire mineral planet seemed to have been sucked away.

“Oh no. He’s going to self-detonate his Sainthood Source.”

Zhang Ruochen immediately took out Violet Gourd and flew in. He then controlled the gourd to drill deep into the planet’s core.

Kun Yunhuang’s cultivation had reached the early stage of Banshi Isshou Realm. Once he self-detonated his Sainthood Source, the destructive power could threaten the life of a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint at certain distances.

To be able to force Kun Yunhuang to self-detonate his Sainthood Source, the cultivator from Celestial Court probably was stronger than the peak of Banshi Isshou Realm.

The power that was supposed to be able to destroy the plants did not explode.

After a while.

Zhang Ruochen flew out of the ground and landed on the surface of the planet again. He was puzzled and said, “What’s going on? Did Kun Yunhuang fail to self-detonate his Sainthood Source?”

He released his spiritual power and covered the entire planet. He carefully inspected it. Then, he flew for about 1,000 miles and landed beside Kun Yunhuang, who was sitting in a pool of blood.

He was still alive, but his life force was gone. He was only left with his last breath.

Kun Yunhuang saw a Rakshasa Supreme Saint who had landed on the ground. His gray eyes lit up with a pleading look, he said, “I am Kun Yunhuang, Elder of Terra Demon. I have encountered a powerful enemy of Celestial Court. I beg you to save the two young masters of Yanluo Clan.”

Zhang Ruochen had already decided based on the aura around him. He said lightly, “Who are the two young masters? Yan Huangtu and Yan Zhexian?”

Kun Yunhuang said excitedly, “You know the two young masters?”

“Of course, I know them. They are both born with noble backgrounds. Few in the entire Infernal Court can match them. What happened? Who are the enemies?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Kun Yunhuang’s face was bitter. He seemed to have used all his strength, he opened his mouth and said, “The enemy is very powerful. I used an ancient technique and pretended to explode my Sainthood Source. That was how I managed to scare them off and give the two young masters a chance to escape.

“However, my injuries are too severe. With the ancient spell, My Qi of life has been drained. I can’t protect them anymore. Please, you must save them. Yanluo Clan will definitely repay you…”

With that, he lowered his head and his life force was gone.

His body was still sitting on the broken ground.

Zhang Ruochen could have saved him just now, but it would cost him too much. Besides that, their relationship hadn’t reached that stage yet, so it wasn’t worth paying so much.

“There are so many powerful warriors in Yanluo clan. Are you kidding me? You want me to save Yan Huangtu and Yanzhexian?”

Zhang Ruochen knew his capabilities very well now. He didn’t think that he was a savior. Not everyone was worth saving. Once his identity was exposed, he would be in mortal danger.

Shaking his head slightly, Zhang Ruochen figured out the direction where Yan Huangyu and Yan Zhexian had escaped. He spread his bone wings and flew in the opposite direction.

After flying for about 10,000 miles, Zhang Ruochen stopped and frowned, he cursed inwardly, “I knew I shouldn’t have provoked karma on Battlefield of Merits. I should have killed the child in her stomach. Damn it!”

Zhang Ruochen turned around and chased in the direction where Yan Huangtu and Yan Zhexian had fled.

Although the Supreme Saint of Celestial Court who had killed the Four elites of Terra Demon was most likely a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint, with Zhang Ruochen’s current cultivation, there were not many cultivators below divinity who could keep him alive if he wanted to escape.

That was why Zhang Ruochen dared to take the risk and chase after him.
