Chapter 2378 - Disfavored Saints

RIP!

The blood butterfly’s body released a dazzling red glow that carried the smell of blood. It illuminated the once white Snowpetra to blood-red.

In front of it, red crystals condensed and formed a protruding round shield. It was even bigger than a palace and made up for the mysterious ancient runes and strange beast portraits.

The ten Swastika Seiryu phantoms collided with the round shield and exploded with ten loud sounds in a row.

The dimension shook.

Surprisingly, the shield blocked the attack and didn’t break.

It was incredible!

It must be known that Zhang Ruochen’s palm strike was an all-out attack. It was the tenth palm of Dragon-Elephant Prajna Palm Strike, Dragon in Nine Heavens. Its power was no weaker than the advanced Saint technique of Thousand-Koan Realm.

How could a Supreme Saint at the initial stage of Thousand-Koan Realm resist it?

Obviously, Kymorpho was using a spiritual power defensive spell.

Only the spiritual power of 66th level could resist the palm strike of Zhang Ruochen’s all-out attack.

“Your spiritual power is indeed very strong. Your battle strength has probably surpassed Saint Lord Zuo Mu, who is known as the strongest Thousand-Koan Realm Celestial Captive. Killing you should give me extra points,”

Zhang Ruochen flew up in the air. His desire to fight grew stronger.

Although the Mystic Eye of Myriad Realms couldn’t see the area covered by the dark star, Zhang Ruochen didn’t believe that the gods of Infernal Court couldn’t see what was happening here.

“You still want to kill me? Zhang Ruochen, take a good look. All the Supreme Saints of Immortal Vampires are destined to die here.” The blood-red butterfly let out a vicious laugh.

Kymorpho was much soberer than the other Celestial Captives. She had never thought that she would leave Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting alive.

Since that was the case, the more Infernal Court Supreme Saints she killed, the happier she would be.

Only now did Zhang Ruochen realize that the light emitted by Kymorpho’s Saint Aspect of spiritual power was the same as the power of the 13 Celestial Captives of Southern Sword Realm. They had the characteristics of eroding the bone.

“Oh no, it’s Bone-eroding blood Qi. Everyone, be careful. Don’t get caught in the red light.”

“Ah… It’s so uncomfortable. Bone-eroding blood Qi has entered my body…” an Immortal Vampire Supreme Saint clutched his chest crazily. He wanted to dig out his every bone.

“Supreme Saints who have been corroded by Bone-eroding blood Qi, stop fighting and refine it with all your strength. Don’t let it corrode your bone marrow and blood.”

…

Screams and curses rang out continuously.

Within a short period of time, 17 Supreme Saints of Immortal Vampires who were stained with red light lost their fighting strength. They had no choice but to sit cross-legged and refine the Bone-eroding blood Qi that had invaded their bodies.

Furthermore, more Supreme Saints were affected one after another.

The morale of an army of Immortal Vampires Supreme Saints was once again severely affected.

“A Supreme Saint with a spiritual power of level 66 is too terrifying. She can fight against a thousand soldiers alone. Let’s go and help Zhang Ruochen.”

Supreme Saint Yi Xuan and Gu Chenzi rushed to Zhang Ruochen’s location.

Zhang Ruochen’s heart was calm. He sent a message to Supreme Saint Yi Xuan and Gu Chenzi, “Leave this to me. You two, lead the Immortal Vampires to break through the Supreme Saint-level Celestial Captives first. As long as we break the formation, no matter how many Saint-level Celestial Captives there are, they won’t be able to escape the slaughter.”

“But Kymorpho’s spiritual power is too strong!”

Gu Chenzi was a little worried. He was afraid that Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t be able to handle it alone.

“That’s right! Kymorpho’s cultivation has reached Thousand-Koan Realm. She’s outstanding in both cultivation and martial arts. She has no weakness.” Supreme Saint Yi Xuan was also worried.

Zhang Ruochen said, “Listen to my orders and do what you have to do.”

2.6 million Saint-level Celestial Captives were scattered all over Snowpetra. Apart from the one million cultivators who controlled the blood inscription trap, there were also 160 more. They controlled the defensive and attacking blood inscription arrays respectively.

At this moment, the Supreme Saints of Immortal Vampires hadn’t even broken through the first layer of the blood inscription trap.

A million Saint-level Celestial Captives was a sea of people. Even if they were to cut melons, they would not be able to do so in a short period of time.

Further away, the one million Saint-level Celestial Captives that were controlling the blood inscriptions array were in combat mode. They controlled one million stone swords and flew above all the Supreme Saints of Immortal Vampires.

Swoosh Swoosh!

Sword Qi crisscrossed and formed a web.

There were too many stone swords and this situation could pose a threat to the Supreme Saints’ lives.

Gu Chenzi and Supreme Saint Yi Xuan realized that Celestial Captives weren’t that easy to kill. If they didn’t destroy the three formations of Celestial Captives as soon as possible, Immortal Vampires would definitely suffer heavy losses even if they won today.

A heavy victory was a defeat.

“Let’s go!”

Gu Chenzi and Yi Xuan chose to believe Zhang Ruochen.

No matter how strong Kymorpho was, could she be stronger than Wujiang?

She was definitely no match for Supreme Saint Ruochen.

Right now, their only worry was that Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t be able to take down Kymorpho.

The longer the battle between the two lasted, the more Immortal Vampires would be affected. Therefore, the more serious the casualties would be.

They were even more worried that if Kymorpho was defeated, and while facing death she would choose to self-destruct. In such a small space like Snowpetra, if a Thousand-Koan Realm and a 66th level spiritual-power Supreme Saint self-destructed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The key was that no one’s spiritual power could stop Kymorpho from self-destructing.

Gu Chenzi and Supreme Saint Yi Xuan were both worried. They only hoped that Zhang Ruochen could show off his might and kill Kymorpho in a short time, not giving her the chance to self-destruct.

Only in this way could Immortal Vampires obtain victory at the smallest price.

“A group of cultivators, come with me to the south and kill. We will break the formation of Saint-level Celestial Captives who are controlling the attack of the blood inscription array.”

With such a loud shout, Supreme Saint Yi Xuan was the first to push towards the south.

“I’ll go with you.”

“Count me in.”

…

In an instant, more than 40 Hundred-Shackle Realm Supreme Saints followed closely behind Supreme Saint Yi Xuan and charged towards the south of the city.

Another 100 Supreme Saints followed Gu Chenzi and Yue Tinghai, and charged towards the north. They planned to break the blood-inscription Defensive Array so that Lord Bladehell and Rakshasa Princess, who were outside the array could join in the battle.

Zhang Ruochen knew very well how important his battle with Kymorpho would be to the battle.

He had to use 100% of his strength to end the battle quickly.

He lifted Violet Gourd with one hand and gathered it above his head. He mobilized an endless stream of Saint Qi and activated the Supreme Inscription in the gourd.

Boom!

The gourd shot out dazzling purple and golden lights, like thousands bolts of lightning shuttling between heaven and earth.

A Supreme Artifact has terrifying powers that could allow a cultivator to cross realms and kill enemies. Kymorpho sensed the fluctuation of Supreme Power and immediately stopped using Bone-eroding blood Qi to deal with Immortal Vampires. She concentrated her spiritual power, condensed a sharp sword-like spiritual power light strike, and attacked Zhang Ruochen.

A 66th level spiritual-power Supreme Saint could control or kill an ordinary Neverwilt Realm Supreme Saint with just a glance.

The spiritual power attack launched by Kymorpho with all her strength forced even the top Thousand-Koan Realm Supreme Saint to retreat immediately. They didn’t dare to fight her head-on.

However, Zhang Ruochen didn’t retreat.

Although his spiritual power wasn’t as strong as Kymorpho’s, he had reached the 65th level too.

He might not be able to fight it.

But he could protect himself.

“Thundergod Reverend!”

Zhang Ruochen’s Saint Aspect of spiritual power appeared. It was formed by thunder and lightning. It was huge and looked exactly like him. It was like a thunder mountain, blocking in front of him.

The spiritual power light spike collided with Thundergod Reverend.

Powerful spiritual power shockwaves swept in all directions.

Saint-level Celestial Captives who were close all bled from their eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. They cried out in pain.

Their spiritual power and Saint Souls were scattered, and their sea of consciousness became empty.

The spiritual power shockwave was too strong, and the spiritual power seal set up by the gods vanished into thin air.

Let alone Saint-level Celestial Captives, even Immortal Vampires’ Supreme Saints were injured. They were scared out of their wits, afraid that they would become an idiot who had lost consciousness. They quickly rushed into the distance.

Everyone just wanted to run as far as possible.

“Their spiritual power is too strong. It’s even stronger than the Paramount Realm Supreme Saint of our clan.”

“That’s insane. Their spiritual power is at least level 65.”

“Luckily, Zhang Ruochen is here. He can stop her. Otherwise, countless Supreme Saints of Immortal Vampires would die under her spiritual power.”

“Isn’t Celestial Captives’ spiritual power sealed? Are gods so unreliable?”

…

Thundergod Reverend blocked the spiritual power attack from Kymorpho, buying time for Zhang Ruochen. He pushed the Supreme Inscription in Violet Gourd to the extreme.

Boom!

Like a volcano erupting, a golden pillar of light surged from the mouth of the gourd. The fiery waves rushed toward the 30-meter-long blood-red butterfly.

Facing a Supreme Artifact, Kymorpho was very clear that she would definitely not be able to block it and was going to be beaten until her soul was scattered.

Therefore, the blood-red butterfly flapped her wings and drew hundreds thousands of blood inscriptions on the ground, twisting them into a blood river. She drew the power of hundreds thousands of Saint-level Celestial Captives who had set up the blood inscriptions trap, into her body.

The scarlet-golden light collided with the blood river, and the violent power quickly spread through Snowpetra.

Even the outer layer of the blood inscription array trembled violently as if it was about to be torn apart.

The Supreme Power continuously evaporated and refined the blood inscriptions in blood river. The two powers clashed and tens thousands of Saint-level Celestial Captives were refined into ashes.

In such a confrontation, the lives of saints were worthless. They were turned to ashes.

It was for this reason that Battlefield of Merits between Celestial Court and Infernal Court would not allow Supreme Saints to get on the internal battlefield. As Supreme Saints’ destructive power was too terrifying, it was a disaster for ordinary creatures.

Kymorpho was extremely crazy. She did not care about the lives of those Celestial Captives, she laughed ferociously. “The Supreme Artifact is indeed powerful, but there are no spirits in the dark star to replenish the consumption of the body. Zhang Ruochen, how much longer can you hold on?”

Zhang Ruochen was exhausted. The Saint Qi in his body was severely depleted. Even with four Sainthood Sources, he couldn’t hold on.

The Supreme Artifact consumed too much Saint Qi.

“Don’t worry. It’s more than enough to kill you.”

Zhang Ruochen looked down and saw that Lord Sinluo and hundreds of Supreme Saints of Immortal Vampires had already entered the Saint-level Celestial Captives formation. They were killing everyone.

Their saint blood flowed like a river on the street.

Because of the large number of Saint-level Celestial Captives dying, the power of the blood river controlled by Kymorpho gradually weakened.

“Moyin, come and control Violet Gourd.”

Zhang Ruochen moved to the right. Then, he rushed toward the blood-red butterfly that was hundreds of feet long with extreme speed. While flying, he took out a Sainthood Source and crushed it with his five fingers, turning it into a divine rain of light.

Zhang Ruochen absorbed all the light rain into his body.

The Saint Qi that had been severely consumed recovered more than half in an instant.

Moyin and Zhang Ruochen had fought in Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting and consumed countless Celestial Captives. Now, they were even more powerful. They were two or three times more powerful than Lord Bladehell and Lady Wind, who were the top 10 elites in the Great Perfection of Hundred-Shackle Realm.

To put it bluntly, if Wujiang hadn’t gotten the fortuitous encounter on Nether Clan’s home planet, he might not have gained any advantage against Moyin.

The reason why Zhang Ruochen had tamed Saint Devourer as a parasitic plant, kept its spiritual consciousness, and provided it with an endless supply of food was because he saw its potential. He saw that it could continue to grow until it became a god.

Unlike other cultivators, who would hit many plateaus.

After becoming a parasitic plant, it could even share some of Zhang Ruochen’s enlightenment. It was more or less proficient in all kinds of power and Paths that Zhang Ruochen cultivated.

Such a Saint Devourer was rare in the entire universe.

Of course, it was worth Zhang Ruochen’s effort to cultivate it.

Now, it was time for this Saint Devourer to show its true value.

The two snow-white palms of Moyin pressed on the bottom of Violet Gourd. The power of the blood river was sent flying to the ground by her power. After landing on the streets of Snowpetra, they continued to retreat.

However…

She managed to block it in the end!

Moyin’s long hair fluttered in the wind and cut more than a dozen Saint King-level Celestial Captives who were trying to sneak attack from behind into more than a hundred pieces. A happy smile appeared on her bewitching face as she said, “I haven’t tasted a level 66 spiritual-power Supreme Saint yet!”

“Oh no.”

Kymorpho realized that the cultivator holding Supreme Artifact had been replaced. She immediately realized the danger.

Unfortunately, it was too late!

With Zhang Ruochen’s current speed, if his opponent made even the slightest mistake, one would come to a bad end.

“No need to look. I’m up here.”

Zhang Ruochen stepped on a cloud made of divine flame and urged the power of Yanshen’s Leg. He descended from the sky and pressed onto the back of the blood-red butterfly.

Boom!

The blood-red butterfly was the Saint Aspect of Kymorpho’s spiritual power. It couldn’t withstand the power of Zhang Ruochen’s foot. It exploded like a balloon and turned into a sky full of red light.

Zhang Ruochen’s foot pressed onto Kymorpho’s original body, pressing her down from the sky to the ground.

Boom!

Snowpetra was Lord Lei’s original form. It was also an ancient city. It could be called an indestructible city as every stone was as hard as jade.

Zhang Ruochen’s stomp caused the ground in the city to sink.

Kymorpho was not only a powerful spiritual-power Supreme Saint but also a Thousand-Koan Realm Martial Arts Supreme Saint. Naturally, her body was very powerful. However, she was badly injured by Zhang Ruochen’s stomp. Her body was penetrated and almost broke into two from her waist.

Zhang Ruochen used the divine flame to refine Kymorpho under his feet.

“After reaching the 66th level of spiritual power, it’s not so easy to be killed. You can’t kill me, you can’t kill me… Even if my body is destroyed, my spiritual power will not be destroyed,”

Kymorpho laughed loudly. Then, her body was shattered and broke into pieces.

Every piece of the broken flesh seemed to have a consciousness. Every drop of blood on the ground seemed to have an independent soul.

They all flew in the same direction, re-condensed into the body of Kymorpho.
