“180,000 divine stones.”

Just as Xue Tu shouted out his bidding price, a wave of curses erupted in the auction hall.

“This fake bidder has jumped out to star troubles again.”

“Realm of Star Ocean is too greedy. Aren’t they afraid that no one would bid for the god corpse?”

“What’s there to be afraid of? It’s just a half-god corpse. Realm of Star Ocean has plenty of ways to deal with it.”

A Corpusian Supreme Saint said, “Xue Tu might not be a fake bidder. I think he just wants to embarrass Lord Bladehell. After obtaining Wargod Bloodflame’s Mark, he probably wants to step on Lord Bladehell’s position and fight for the title — No.1 elite in a thousand years.”

Most cultivators present could tell that the Corpusian Supreme Saint was deliberately trying to sow discord.

However, Lord Bladehell was so angry that he was about to lose his mind. The more he listened, the more he felt that those words were very reasonable.

He believed that Xue Tu wanted to go against him on purpose.

A Hundred-Shackle Realm Supreme Saint from a Qitian Clan said, “He has just become a Supreme Saint, yet he is already so arrogant. Xue Tu has belittled you. When the auction is over, I will challenge him to battle and crush his pride.” His voice was deep.

Lord Bladehell’s emotions changed. He clenched his fists and slowly opened them. Then, he let out a long breath and stood up. “Let’s go.”

“Big Brother, are you not going to continue the bidding? Are you really going to give it up to Xue Tu? I’m not willing,” said the Hundred-Shackle Realm Supreme Saint.

“So what if I’m not willing? The starting price is 170,000 divine stones. If I continue to raise the price, how much will it be? Who will make up the extra divine stones?” Lord Bladehell asked.

How could he let go willingly?

However, he could not even afford 1,000 divine stones, let alone 10,000 divine stones to fight with Xue Tu.

Even if he was angry and resentful, he could only keep it and pay back double what Xue Tu did to him when the time came.

All the forces had a precise evaluation of the lower half of the god corpse’s value, which was about 160,000 divine stones.

Not everyone would be like Zhang Ruochen, who could spend divine stones at will.

“180,000 divine stones, sold.”

Supreme Saint Qiluo’s announcement rang out. The auction in Realm of Star Ocean World had officially ended.

Xue Tu smiled and said to Zhang Ruochen, “Next, we should go to Starry Ocean Palace on this planet to pay for the divine stones and collect the auction items.”

“Okay, you go first,” Zhang Ruochen nodded and said.

Xue Tu was stunned and said, “Senior brother, aren’t we going together?”

“I can go alone,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Xue Tu’s heart thumped and he said, “Senior brother, you can’t do this. I’ve offended many cultivators in this auction. What if they find and harm me?”

“I’m also afraid that they’ll find me,” Zhang Ruochen said as if he could not help it.

How could Xue Tu not understand? Zhang Ruochen completely despised him and did not want to travel with him. Zhang Ruochen also did not want outsiders to know that he was the one behind this auction.

It was equivalent to letting Xue Tu take the blame alone.

Xue Tu was certain that there must be a large group of cultivators waiting for him outside Annulus World at that moment.

Once he walked out, even if he did not die, he would be severely injured.

Xue Tu acted like he was not troubled by it. “If they find me, I won’t take the blame alone. I might spill the beans.”

Zhang Ruochen said, “You owe me a Supreme Saint Weapon, but you haven’t returned it yet. Now you dare to threaten me. Do you really think I’m an easy bully target?”

‘You are the bully,’ Xue Tu muttered to himself.

He had become the public enemy of many cultivators in Infernal Court. If he fell out with Zhang Ruochen again, it would only make things worse. Moreover, falling out with Zhang Ruochen meant losing the chance to drink divine blood and borrow Lotus of Divine Reflection from Zhang Ruochen.

“As a Supreme Saint, I should know when to yield and when not; I should admit defeat when it’s time to do so.”

Xue Tu sighed in his mind. He didn’t dare to fight Zhang Ruochen head-on so he quickly begged, “Senior brother, you have to save me this time. From now on, I will follow your order strictly.

“Don’t leave me alone. If I go out alone, I’ll die a horrible death.”

Zhang Ruochen frowned. “You are a Supreme Saint too. How can you be so timid? Those who want to become gods should be unyielding.”

Xue Tu shook his head, looking pitiful. “I can train my state of mind slowly later. But survival comes before the goal to attain godhood.”

Zhang Ruochen sighed and took out an Exquisite Dimensional Orb. “You are my junior. Of course, I won’t let you die. In that case, no matter how dangerous it is, I will bear it alone. You should hide inside first.”

“Senior Brother…”

Xue Tu was struck by his words for a second. He didn’t expect Zhang Ruochen, the devil, to have a conscience.

“Don’t be so wishy-washy. Go in. By the way, don’t tell outsiders what happened at the auction,” Zhang Ruochen said.

“Don’t worry. Senior Brother treats me as a comrade. How can I betray you? I swear to God, if I tell anyone, I’ll die a horrible death.”

After Xue Tu entered the Dimensional Orb, Zhang Ruochen transformed into Xue Tu with Thirty-six Formless Transmogrification.

“Xue Tu, Xue Tu, you started the troubles, so you must end it yourselves.”

Zhang Ruochen muttered to himself. He pushed open the door of the VIP seats and walked out.

Previously, although Zhang Ruochen was condensing the Saintwill, he was not completely unaware of what had happened. How could he not know that Xue Tu was deliberately trying to trick him?

Thousands of divine stones were spent for the Seven Cauldrons of Fugue Pills. However, Xue Tu had hit the nail on the head.

When he was bidding for Lotus of Divine Reflection, everyone thought that he was a fake bidder and did not dare to compete with him. Eventually, Zhang Ruochen spent only 100,000 divine stones for it, saving a large amount of divine stones.

Otherwise, if he were to compete with a deity, he estimated that he would need more than 150,000 divine stones to have a chance to successfully bid Lotus of Divine Reflection.

Zhang Ruochen walked out of the VIP seat with the appearance of Xue Tu. People immediately looked at him with murderous intent in their eyes.

“Are you thinking to fight in the auction house? You’d better restrain yourself. I’m a big customer for Realm of Star Ocean World. They’ll protect me before I make payment.”

Zhang Ruochen imitated Xue Tu’s expression and sneered. He flew out of Annulus World and rushed to Starry Ocean Palace.

“That’s too arrogant. He’s only just become an immortal realm Supreme Saint, and he’s already this insolent.”

“He’s just a fake bidder. Does he really think he’s a big shot?”

“Lord Bladehell said that he wants to chop off one of Xue Tu’s arms. So how can he possibly walk out of Realm of Star Ocean World unscathed? Just wait and see.”

…

After arriving at Realm of Star Ocean Palace, Zhang Ruochen and Qiluo’s avatar interacted.

Although the Wheel of the Nether Sun had fetched 300,000 divine stones, Zhang Ruochen had to pay 3 percent as the bidding fee for Realm of Star Ocean. In the end, he only earned 291,000 divine stones.

Eight Regal Artifacts had fetched 302 divine stones.

Xue Tu’s planet fiefdom was auctioned for 96 divine stones.

According to Supreme Saint Qiluo, because he was a big client, they did not charge commission on the amount fetched by the eight Regal Artifacts and the planet fiefdom.

Zhang Ruochen spent a total of 290,377 divine stones for Lotuses of Divine Reflection, Spiritual Power sacred pills, Implement Nurturing Pills, Fugue Pills, God corpse, and so on.

Therefore, after making payment, Zhang Ruochen only had 1,021 divine stones left.

Zhang Ruochen had decided to let Xue Tu bid 180,000 divine stones for the god’s corpse after doing some calculations. That was why he didn’t need to sell other treasures to make up for the difference.

Zhang Ruochen put away the god’s corpse, the Fugue Pills, and Lotuses of Divine Reflection. He asked, “Realm of Star Ocean World should be able to guarantee the customer’s private information, right?”

“Of course, Supreme Saint Ruochen is now our Purple-Gold class customer. We will never reveal your information to any force.”

As he spoke, Supreme Saint Qiluo handed a purple gold token to Zhang Ruochen and said, “Next time, if Supreme Saint Ruochen has any more items, you could appoint Realm of Star Ocean World as representative. You only need to pay one percent of the fee. Furthermore, Supreme Saint Ruochen can buy all kinds of items at a discount in Realm of Star Ocean World.”

Zhang Ruochen took the purple gold token and said, “Don’t wait for the next time. Bring me to see the top-grade talismans.”

In Realm of Star Ocean World, Zhang Ruochen spent another 300 divine stones to buy three Dark Prison Talismans before leaving Realm of Star Ocean palace.

Although they were expensive, they were very powerful.

According to Supreme Saint Qiluo, each Dark Prison Talisman could be used to trap a Thousand-Koan Realm Supreme Saint. Even a Banshi Isshou Realm Supreme Saint would find it difficult to break the Dark Prison formed by a talisman with only one strike.

One thing Xue Tu was right about. “Survival comes before the goal to attain godhood.”

Zhang Ruochen had wanted to buy a talisman that was more powerful, preferably one that could kill a Thousand-Koan Realm Supreme Saint. However, the price was too expensive.

Moreover, the power of a talisman at that level was difficult for him to control with his cultivation at Neverwilt Realm. He could get himself hurt.

Therefore, he had to give up.

Zhang Ruochen was still disguised as Xue Tu. He took a Saint Ship arranged by Realm of Star Ocean World and sailed on the lake. He was ready to return to Winterpage City to study the god’s corpse carefully.

A Saint Ship with 10 blood-red wings broke through the waves. It was like a mountain, exuding an intimidating Saint Aura. It blocked the way of Zhang Ruochen’s Saint Ship.

Lord Bladehell stood on the deck. He wore shining blood armor. Above his head, blood clouds rolled. Behind him, a 30-foot-tall phantom appeared.

An overwhelming aura swept toward Zhang Ruochen.

Three Hundred-Shackle Realm Supreme Saints from Qitian Clan stood on Lord Bladehell’s left and right sides.

Supreme Saint Cangye had broken 99 shackles. He was the second most powerful Supreme Saint after the elite from Hellblade Realm. “Xue Tu,” he said in a deep voice, “You were in the limelight at the auction. You went against my brother everywhere. Who gave you the guts?”

Zhang Ruochen ignored him. He looked directly at Lord Bladehell and said, “The competition in the auction relies on one’s wealth. If you lose, you can only blame yourself for being too poor. How can you blame the winner?”

Many cultivators participating in the auction hadn’t left Realm of Star Ocean yet. They stood on different Saint Ships and looked over at them.

“Despite facing against Lord Bladehell, Xue Tu doesn’t flinch. Instead, he’s calm and composed. He certainly has a good state of mind.”

“The gap of strength is too far. No matter how calm he is, it’s pointless. Lord Bladehell is famous for being narrow-minded. He won’t let Xue Tu go.”

…

On one of the Saint Ships, Luo Sha and Luo Tiansheng stood side by side, looking forward.

Luo Tiansheng smiled and said, “Xue Tu turns out to be more unswerving than I thought. He dares to challenge Lord Bladehell and Qitian Clan alone. He got balls.”

Luo Sha’s expression changed.

She and Zhang Ruochen had practiced spiritual power together. There was a strange connection between them. Appearances could not deceive her.

“So it’s him. No wonder he’s so high-profile in the auction.”Luo Sha smiled.

Soon, she was worried again.

Lord Bladehell was a top elite at Hundred-Shackle Realm. Since he said he would cut off Xue Tu’s arm, he would definitely do it.

“Brother, how strong is Lord Bladehell? What are your chances of winning if you fight him?” Luo Sha asked.

Luo Shengtian said, “When Lord Bladehell was a Saint King, he practiced the precepts of Blade to the perfection level. After he became a Neverwilt Realm Supreme Saint, he was even more amazing. He practiced two Grade-Six Saintwills and one Grade-Four Blade Saintwill, which makes a total three.”

“Most Supreme Saints can’t even form two Saintwills. How could he cultivate three?” Luo Sha’s heart sank. She was even more worried for Zhang Ruochen.

Luo Shengtian laughed, “If that’s all, Lord Bladehell isn’t qualified to be 10 Hundred-Shackle Realm Supreme Saints.” His most powerful ability was to combine Grade Six Sigillum Saintwills and Grade Four Blade Saintwill to form a Grade Three Bladehell Saintwill.”

“He can combine the Saintwills?” Luo Sha was even more shocked.

Luo Shengtian said, “That’s right! In Infernal Court, in this one thousand years, only less than a hundred Supreme Saints can fuse their Saintwills. He is one of them. So one could imagine how terrifying his strength is. If it wasn’t for his temperament, he would definitely be ranked higher than ninth place among those Hundred-Shackle Realm Supreme Saints who have attained the Great Perfection stage.”

Condensing the Grade Three Saintwill meant that the probability of becoming a god had increased greatly. Furthermore, he would have the chance to grasp the Canon and become an elite amongst the gods in the future.

Luo Sha was quite confused. She said, “Lord Bladehell can integrate the Saintwills, so he is definitely not an ordinary person. His temperament can’t be so bad. Brother, could he be deliberately pretending to be narrow-minded so that all the cultivators will look down on him?”

“It’s not impossible.”

Luo Shengtian thought carefully and then said, “If Lord Bladehell really has such a deep mind and shrewdness, he will definitely be a great opponent at Celestial-Hunting Festival.”

…

Zhang Ruochen seemed to be quite impatient. He said again, “You blocked my Saint Ship. Are you angry because you were offended want to snatch my items shamelessly? So many cultivators are staring at you. Lord Bladehell, don’t you feel ashamed? You are a total loser.”

Supreme Saint Cangye, who stood beside Lord Bladehell, said coldly, “Xue Tu, do you dare to have a ring fight with me? If I lose, I’ll cut off one of my arms. If you lose, you cut off yours. What do you think?”

Zhang Ruochen said, “I never bet my arm. Besides, with your cultivation, you are not qualified to challenge me.”

“What did you say?”

Supreme Saint Cangye had long disliked Xue Tu. At that moment, Xue Tu, a Neverwilt Realm Supreme Saint, dared to make such insolent remarks. If Cangye did not teach Xue Tu a lesson, who knew how many Supreme Saints would laugh at Cangye over Xue Tu’s words, “you are not qualified to challenge me.”

Boom

Supreme Saint Cangye shot up from the deck of the Saint Ship. His body emitted a boundless bloody light. The vast and mighty Blood Qi condensed into a palm print the size of a palace building and pressed down on Zhang Ruochen.

Even with the suppression of surrounding Precepts, the palm power that Supreme Saint Cangye had unleashed still pressed down on the water under Zhang Ruochen’s feet, causing it to sink and turn into a huge liquid basin.

Zhang Ruochen stood on the ship and looked at it indifferently.

Lord of Stone flew out and its huge body appeared behind him. It waved a stone palm that was as big as Mount Wuzhi. It shattered the Blood Qi palm print and hit Supreme Saint Cangye.

Ptui!

Supreme Saint Cangye spat out blood. Like a fly, he was thrown out and flew out of the space where Realm of Star Ocean World was.

Zhang Ruochen stared at the parabola of Blood light in the sky and said, “As weak as a bug.”

What he didn’t know was that many cultivators were petrified when they saw this.

A Supreme Saint who broke 99 shackles was sent flying just like that? And Xue Tu called him a bug?

The cultivators of Qitian Clan were all furious.

“So you have a Supreme Saint of the stone clan protecting you. That’s why you’re so insolent. I wonder if this Supreme Saint of the stone clan can block my blade.”

Before Lord Bladehell could make a move, Zhang Ruochen had already thrown out a Dark Prison Talisman.

Crash!

A dark prison enveloped Lord Bladehell’s ten-winged Saint Ship. All the Supreme Saints of Qitian Clan were trapped inside. Even if they attacked continuously, they couldn’t break the power of the talisman.

“I don’t want to argue with you today, but I have to warn you. Don’t mess with me again. You can’t bear the consequences.”

Zhang Ruochen left these words in their curses. Then he drove the Saint Ship around the ten-winged Saint Ship and left Realm of Star Ocean World leisurely.

Watching him leave, the spectating cultivators of Infernal Court looked at each other in bewilderment.

“An incredible young Supreme Saint was born in Bloodysky Clan,” a passing demigod exclaimed.

On this day, Xue Tu’s fame shook the Divine Domain of Destiny..
