Fang Yi said, "Zhang Ruochen, you're being too arrogant. Do you really think you can seize all those saint sources by yourself? You're going to explode."
"I don't know whether I'm going to explode or not, but I can say for sure that Hell Blade Field won't get any saint source."
Zhang Ruochen then mobilized the power of Universe World, and the force knocked Fang Yi away and made him bleed.
"How is he so powerful…?"
Fang Yi pressed his chest. He was furious, but he was too intimidated to act out as Zhang Ruochen was able to kill him with one random strike.
And besides, even if Zhang Ruochen killed him, the Moon Goddess would definitely try to spare his life given his potential. Not even Merits Godly Palace could convict Zhang Ruochen.
Just put up with it!
He now didn't have any leverage against Zhang Ruochen.
The heirs from the six large fields communicated using their mind power and prepared to leave. They wanted to seize the saint sources leading the saints from the other six fields.
The battlefield was enormous, and there was an enormous number of saints from the six large fields. No matter how strong Zhang Ruochen was, he couldn't stop all of them.
However, just as they were about to leave, a tremendous saintly way power suppressed them completely so that they couldn't move a muscle.
All the heirs except Wu Hao stared at Zhang Ruochen.
Mad Man said, "What're you trying to do, Zhang Ruochen? All we want to do is to take away the bodies and the saint sources that belong to our own fields. We'll leave all the saint sources of the Luosha marquises to you. Isn't that enough?"
After Yuan Hun died, Mad Man automatically became the leader of the saints from Eight Ministry Field.
"Go!"
Zhang Ruochen waved his hand, and all the saints from Sacred Central Empire rushed out to collect the saint sources.
Zhang Ruochen said after that, "You guys chose to leave the battlefield, which meant you've given up the saint sources. I defeated the Luosha race single-handedly and will seize those saint sources. Why should I share any of them with you?"
The six heirs knew that if it weren't for Zhang Ruochen's defeating the Luosha armies, they might've been dead already.
Which meant it was Zhang Ruochen who had saved their lives, so it was fair that Zhang Ruochen wanted those saint sources.
However, after the Luosha armies retreated, they wanted those saint sources back.
When it came to a huge benefit like this, they all forgot the fact that Zhang Ruochen had saved them all.
All the six heirs were intelligent. They mobilized saint Qi at the same time, releasing their maximum power, trying to get out of Zhang Ruochen's suppression.
Boom!
The six traces of saintly way power exploded like six clouds, shaking the space around them.
"I know that the saint sources are very important to you, but they're important to me as well. Today, whoever is stronger will get the saint sources."
Zhang Ruochen raised his hand and pressed forward, then the ground under their feet sunk, and space cracks showed up around their bodies, trapping them in an area that was a couple hundred square feet.
"Goddamn it. The space in Zuling Field is too fragile. Zhang Ruochen's space power can be fully utilized here. We're put at a huge disadvantage fighting him here."
"Now I know why Princess Luosha still decided to retreat with the Luosha marquises even though they were actually winning. If they actually left Zhang Ruochen with no choice, he could make this entire space collapse and kill all of them with him."
The six heirs were all trapped in the broken space. The saints from the six worlds immediately rushed to the battlefield, trying to seize the saint sources.
If Zhang Ruochen couldn't use the power of Universe World, he could in no way stop them even if he used space power in Zuling Field.
But now…
Zhang Ruochen mobilized the power from Universe World. His body had already hit its limit, and there were bloodstains on his body, yet he was still trying to preserve it.
"Space crack."
Boom!
Zhang Ruochen tore the space apart, and that black crack connected the sky and land, looking spectacular.
He waved his arm, and that black crack flew out, stretching from under Zhang Ruochen's feet all the way to thousands of miles away, stopping the saints from the six large fields from moving forward.
That thousand-mile crack was more than a thousand feet wide.
The saints who rushed to the edge of the crack were all horrified. They immediately stopped and looked at the front with their eyes popped as if they had just witnessed a masterpiece of a God.
On the other side, the saints from Sacred Central Empire were trying to collect as many saint sources as possible. They knew they didn't have enough time, as Zhang Ruochen wasn't able to hold the saints from the six worlds off for long.
Which was why they only focused on collecting saint sources instead of other valuables, which pained them a bit.
Demonic Sound was the most efficient in collecting the saint sources.
Her feet turned into tens of thousands of branches, and each branch seized a saint source like a hand.
Just as the space crack closed up, ninety-nine percent of the saint sources had been collected by the saints from Sacred Central Empire.
"Go!"
Zhang Ruochen yelled and enveloped them with saint Qi, fleeing.
When the Spiritual Flame Demonic Concubine, Sword Saint Dongliu, Wan Zhaoyi, and the others rushed out of the broken space, Zhang Ruochen and the saints from Sacred Central Empire had already run far away.
"Damn it! Zhang Ruochen took away more than one million saint sources himself. Isn't he afraid people will go after him?"
"Any field under the Heaven World will crave it. Just wait and see, Zhang Ruochen's digging his own grave."
…
They knew that they couldn't catch up with Zhang Ruochen, nor could they get back the Merits Record Wall and those saint sources, so they had to lead the saints from their own fields to search for the other valuables left in the battlefield.
Other than saint sources, there were saint weapons, saint pills, runes, saint corpses, and saint blood… All those items were immensely valuable, yet the saints from Sacred Central Empire didn't have time to get them at all.
There were more than one million saint corpses on the battlefield, which was an amazing treasury. Any of the items would be invaluable in a field.
Midnight came, meaning the Saints Merits Battle ended.
A trace of three-colored godly light flew from the dark universe, falling on the four world fragments like a three-colored godly cloud, permeating the sky and land.
All the saints in Zuling Field were covered by godly light.
They felt that they'd lost gravity, and after spinning and touching the ground again, they'd arrived in Merit Star beside Heaven River.
Although Merit Star was named a 'star,' it wasn't oval. Instead, it looked like flights of stairs, and there were eighty-nine hundred and forty flights of stairs. Each stair was one mile tall, and one level was the 'Merits Record' of a field.
At the top of the stairs was a magnificent godly palace which was as large as the stair down there. It was almost eight hundred miles tall, and nobody under the godly palace could see the top of the godly palace.
All the saints from the Shatuo Seven Fields who were still alive gathered in front of the godly palace.
All the saints were thrilled, and most of them groveled toward the godly palace.
Few saints were still standing, but they all looked reverent and held their breath.
"Merits Godly Palace."
Zhang Ruochen read the three words on the door.
Those were three godly words, and when Zhang Ruochen saw those three words, he felt a tumbling power pressing against him, trying to make him kneel.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen's face paled, and he felt that his saint soul was about to be crushed.
Whoosh!
Zhang Ruochen immediately mobilized the power of Universe World to ward off the godly might coming from those three godly words, only after which could he balance himself and heal his broken saint soul.
"How dare you hide another form of power in your body! You've broken the rules of the Merits Battle. For the sake of fairness, I'll execute you now."
An overbearing godly voice came out of Merits Godly Palace.
Each word he said hit Zhang Ruochen's body hard. He bounced up and bled like hell. His chest caved and his bones were cracking.
Many saints rejoiced in seeing that, especially the saints from Hell Blade Field and Purple Mansion Field. They'd been expecting someone to teach Zhang Ruochen a lesson for a long time.
"A God is going to execute Zhang Ruochen now!"
Fang Yi couldn't be happier as he knew that he could never rival Zhang Ruochen. It was best that a God interfered.
Whoosh!
A luminous moon ascended from the other side of Heaven River, and it stepped over the river, arriving right above Merit Star.
The moon was shining, hitting Merits Godly Palace directly.
"What're you doing, Moon Goddess? Are you trying to destroy Merits Godly Palace?" A furious godly voice came out of the godly palace.
"Merits Godly Palace is going to kill the peerless talent from Guanghan Field unfairly. Of course, I'll destroy it."
The Moon Goddess stood at the center of the moon. She looked sacred, regal, elegant but aloof. She had the most stunning eyes in the world, yet she looked extremely cold as if they could pierce through the heaven and earth.
The Moon Goddess was holding Zhang Ruochen, and godly power gushed out of her hands, healing him.
