Xu stood proudly on the peak of the mountain, the cold wind in this area became more and more fierce under the influence of his aura. It let out a whistling sound.

The wind force transformed into a wind blade and then condensed into a tornado

Unlike before, at that moment, Xu was completely serious. His aura was as sharp as a Heaven-cleaving sword.

Whoosh

A black ley line condensed in front of him and interwoven into a mysterious pattern

It looked like a talisman, but also like a ghost drawing

“Heaven-Defying Ghost Rune,” Zhang Ruochen read.

When Zhang Ruochen read the information on Xu, he had seen records of Heaven-Defying Ghost Rune.

Heaven-Defying Ghost Rune was a ghost rune created by the Ghost Master. It could communicate with heaven and earth, control thousands of ghosts, and steal the power of the Celestial Court. All of the nine sons of the Ghost Master were extremely talented. However, only the second son, Yuan, had successfully comprehended it.

It was rumored that Xu had also comprehended the Heaven-Defying Ghost Rune, but he had never used it officially. Or perhaps, all the cultivators who had seen him use the Heaven-Defying Ghost Rune had died.

Whoosh

The second one, the third one…

In an instant, 13.500 Heaven-Defying Ghost Runes condensed and floated in the air, emitting dark light.

The air, Ghost Qi, and the precepts of heaven and earth formed a vortex with the Heaven-Defying Ghost Rune as the center.

The wind and clouds both came to a halt.

At that moment, space and time seemed to be frozen. Only Xu’s hands were still forming finger seals.

In the Cloaking Array.

Mad Whitejade Lion’s eyes suddenly shrank. “He did cultivate the Heaven-Defying Ghost Rune, and he can condense 13.500 at once. His spiritual energy must have reached the 64th level.”

The Four-eyed Ghost Emperor laughed coldly. “In terms of spiritual energy, Xu has an overwhelming advantage. Even if Zhang Ruochen’s battle strength can compete with Xu, the difference in spiritual energy will be his fatal flaw in failure.”

“Haha, Xu revealed his trump card as soon as he attacked. It seems that he’s going to defeat Zhang Ruochen easily,” Popobawa Ghost Emperor said.

“Defeating a Yuanhui level genius is a glorious deed that will be recorded in the Tome of Ghosts, “Ye Changzai said faintly. “The battle scenes will be preserved in perpetuity. If I were Xu, I would also win the most emphatically.”

“Xu and Zhang Ruochen have already had three fights. There’s no need to keep testing. The purpose of this battle is to determine the victor and to determine life and death,” said Supreme Saint Yanhong,

13.500 Heaven-Defying Ghost Runes flew toward Zhang Ruochen, who was in the center. The space was constantly compressed. Streaks of corrosive power pressed down from all directions

The ground beneath Zhang Ruochen’s feet was splintered. His entire body was engulfed and swallowed.

Rumble

The ten wings on his back spread out. Ten streaks of golden light tore through the darkness and rushed in all directions. The five rays of golden light rushed to the ground and broke the earth. They formed five rifts that extended thousands of miles away. The continent that was tens of thousands of miles long shook violently. Thick yellow dust rose from where the five rifts were

The cultivators who were watching the projection were tingled by such a shocking scene.

An average body such as Zhang Ruochen’s could actually erupt with such terrifying power.

The 13.500 Heaven-Defying Ghost Runes were shattered, turning into wisps of ghostly fog and dissipating in the air

Xu’s eyes turned cold, and he took a step back, he thought to himself, The Heaven-Defying Ghost Runes that could resist a combination of Supreme Saint of the initial stage of the Thousand-Koan Realm were broken just like that. Zhang Ruochen’s ten golden wings have indeed changed. They indeed contain the aura of a progenitor.’

Suddenly, Xu caught a streak of golden light in the rolling ghost clouds.

The golden light moved at breakneck speed. It had appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye.

It was Zhang Ruochen.

The brilliance emitted by the ten golden wings on his back was the source of the golden light.

Воом!

The ten golden wings slashed onto Xu’s body, creating an earth-shaking collision sound.

At that moment, both of Xu’s hands formed a Lotus print. The precepts in his body turned into a black Ghost Lotus. It wrapped around his body and collided with the golden wings on Zhang Ruochen’s back.

Xu’s reflexes were incredible

Xu remained calm and looked at Zhang Ruochen at a close distance, he said, “You’re very fast, and the power unleashed by the golden wings is also very powerful. But I’m not Mad Whitejade Lion. Your power is far from enough to fight against the top ten elites of the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realmn.”

“Is that so?

Zhang Ruochen released the Precepts of Dimension in him and it turned into a gravitational space, pressing on Xu’s body.

Boom

Xu’s Astral Form trembled slightly. The pressure increased greatly, and cracks began to appear on the Ghost Lotus.

At that moment, the vines of the Saint Devourer rushed out from Zhang Ruochen’s back. They fell down like thousands of strands, flying toward the north cliff of the mountain.

Supreme Saint Manjian was nailed to the northern cliff by five ice pillars and his saint blood gushed out.

Whoosh

The Saint Devourer’s vines released the Divine Purification Flame. It coiled around the five ice pillars, trying to refine them.

Just as the Divine Purification Flame was released, dense Supreme Saint inscriptions appeared on the surface of the stone layer on the northern cliff. The Supreme Saint Inscriptions gave off a blinding light. They condensed icy Qi and extinguished the Divine Purification Flame.

The Saint Devourer’s vines quickly retracted and left the northern cliff.

“AH..”

Supreme Saint Manjian gritted his teeth, but he still let out a painful cry. He was in pain that even his mental state could not withstand. The Supreme Saint Inscriptions on the northern cliff rushed into the Supreme Saint Manjian’s body and froze it inch by inch.

Standing at the center of the Ghost Lotus on the peak of the mountain, Xu laughed, “Do you think it’s that easy to save someone? Before you came here, there were already tens of thousands of Supreme Saint Inscriptions carved on this mountain.”

The ten-thousand-meter-tall mountain started to radiate with a blinding light.

All of the Supreme Saint Inscriptions were activated.

RAWR!

ROAR!

On Xu’s back, numerous phantoms rushed out. They were in the form of a lion a tiger, a human, and a Rakshasa… There were a total of 12 million phantoms. After they appeared, they turned this world into an extremely sinister ghost world.

The 12 million phantoms condensed into 12 Thousand-Koan Realm Ghost Emperor Souls. Each of them was majestic and filled with saint might. They contained one-tenth of the Thousand-Koan Realm Supreme Saint’s power.

The power of the 12 Ghost Emperor Souls combined with Xu’s own power.

Xu slapped out and hit the golden wings on Zhang Ruochen’s back and Zhang Ruochen was sent flying

Since Xu had the upper hand, he naturally had to follow up. Xu immediately struck out a second palm, a third palm… the power of the palm was endless.

Like thunder, a total of 57 palm explosions rang out.

Zhang Ruochen flew 5,000 miles backward. With the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Palm Strike, three dragon souls in the Thousand-Koan Realm, and three elephant souls in the Thousand-Koan Realm, all of Xu’s palm power was blocked.

The two palms came together. The ground cracked everywhere they went, mountains turned to mud, and rivers turned to ice.

This was a collision of power. It was obnoxious and violent.

At that moment, the entire Infernal Court, including the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting, trembled.

Who would have thought that Zhang Ruochen would go to the home planet of the Ghost alone to fight with Xu?

“Is Zhang Ruochen crazy?” Many cultivators had such doubts.

No matter how powerful a cultivator was, he couldn’t go alone to the home planet of the Ghost. Moreover, Zhang Ruochen had enemies everywhere in the Infernal Court. Many cultivators wanted to kill him.

What was the difference between his current behavior and courting death?

Only the cultivators of the Celestial Court on the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting saw some clues. That was because they could vaguely see Supreme Saint Manjian nailed to the north cliff in the projection.

“Zhang Ruochen barged into the Ghost’s home planet alone. He must have gone to save Supreme Saint Manjian,” A cultivator from Guanghan said excitedly.

“That has to be it. Zhang Ruochen is very close to Supreme Saint Manjian. Supreme Saint Manjian’s life was threatened by the Ghost’s Supreme Saint. Zhang Ruochen had to go to save him.” said another cultivator.

The cultivators who had a close relationship with Zhang Ruochen saw this scene. Although they were worried about Zhang Ruochen’s safety, they felt inexplicably relieved. At least, Zhang Ruochen’s nature had not changed.

It was the same as before. Friendship came first, life and death came second.

Battle projections appeared all over the Infernal Court. The cultivators from the Bloodysky Clan were the most excited.

Dishastan had targeted the Bloodysky Clan in each of the previous Celestial – Hunting Festivals. This resulted in heavy losses for the Bloodysky Clan each time. They were at the bottom of the list of the ten great clans.

Not only did the Supreme Saint who participated in the Battle of Celestial-Hunting feel humiliated, but the cultivators of the Bloodysky Clan also held back their anger. They hated the cultivators of the Dishastan so much that they gritted their teeth.

Xu of the Dishastan became the number one elite of the Ghost. The cultivators of the Bloodysky Clan thought that the Bloodysky Clan would be humiliated again in this year’s Battle of Celestial-Hunting. They were mentally prepared.

What was the use of hating?

What was the use even if they were unwilling?

The difference in strength was obvious. They could only admit it.

However, they didn’t expect Zhang Ruochen to single-handedly go to the Ghost’s home planet and fight with Xu, the strongest of the Ghost. Suddenly, their blood boiled and their hearts were engulfed with flames. It was as if they had become one with Zhang Ruochen and were fighting with Xu.

Of course, they did not know that Zhang Ruochen had gone to the home planet of the Ghost to save Supreme Saint Manjian.

They only thought that Zhang Ruochen had gone to the home planet of the Ghost to take revenge and avenge the shame of the Bloodysky Clan.

Whether Zhang Ruochen won or lost, at least such a tough act made people want to shout.

In the world where the Bloodysky Clan was located, a teenager pointed to the sky, he said, “If Zhang Ruochen can defeat Xu and make the Bloodysky Clan proud, if anyone dares to say anything against him in the future, I will make his blood spills.

Not far away, a blood-haired girl’s beautiful eyes shone with excitement. She said, “If Zhang Ruochen can defeat Xu, I will admit that he can be as famous as my idol, Yan Wushen.”

The battle between Zhang Ruochen and Xu completely stirred up the emotions of the cultivators of the Bloodysky Clan.

For the Bloodysky Clan, this battle was no trivial matter.

For Zhang Ruochen, this battle also had far-reaching effects. Once he won, his prestige in the Bloodysky Clan would rise to the peak.

With the support of the entire Bloodysky Clan, he could stand firm in the Infernal Court.

In the Fane of Destiny, the gods were also watching the battle between Zhang Ruochen and Xu.

Compared to the cultivators who only knew how to watch the show, the gods cared more about the outcome.

However, even with the wisdom of the gods, who had a lot of information about Xu and Zhang Ruochen, there was still no definite answer to the outcome.

The Ghost Master’s loud voice rang out, “Zhang Ruochen dares to intrude into the Ghost’s home planet after breaking only one shackle. He’s really young and arrogant. It’s a pity, Xue Jue. I’m afraid your grandson will disappoint you.” Wargod Bloodixmius remained calm. He sat in his deity world and ignored the Ghost Master

The divine shadow of Asurendra Samay appeared in the temple. He was smiling and said, “Ghost Master, what do you think will be the result of the battle between Zhang Ruochen and Xu?”

No one knew how many gods gathered in the Fane of Destiny because they were all sitting in their deity world. Only when they communicated with each other would the divine shadow appear in the temple.

The Ghost Master said, “Zhang Ruochen is talented. Of course, he can’t beat Xu in the same realm. But now, one of them has just broken one shackle, and the other has reached the Great Perfection stage, which is equivalent to 99 realms. The result is self-evident. If Zhang Ruochen breaks another 30 or 40 shackles, he may have a chance to win.”

The handsome Lord Ming’s divine shadow appeared. He laughed, “What 99 realms? Mad Whitejade Lion’s cultivation at the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm is still crushed by Zhang Ruochen. Ghost Master, you’d better not be so full of yourself. You might not be able to take it back.”

Asurendra Barasingha’s divine shadow appeared, ‘Why don’t I make a prediction?” He said. “Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation above the three paths of Time, Dimension, and Truth is commendable. Now, he has awakened the Progenitor Bloodximius’s bloodline and released part of the power of the Demigod-level Physique. He actually has a chance to win this battle, but it won’t be more than 20%.”

Ghost Master’s voice was cold, “I think you all underestimate the top geniuses of the Internal Court. The difference of 99 realms is an absolute difference. To be ranked in the top 10 of the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm by both the Realm of Star Ocean and the Mystic Eye of Myriad Realms is not just a superficial strength.”

“Zhang Ruochen’s biggest reliance in the past was his countless powerful weapons. He could defeat his opponents with external forces. But now, they are in the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting, Zhang Ruochen only has a gourd with him.”

“Just a gourd?” Lord Ming smiled.

The Ghost Master said, “Don’t think I don’t know that Zhang Ruochen’s gourd is the Bloodysky Clan’s Supreme Artifact. But what’s the point?”

“The strongest of the Ghost, Bone Clan, and Corpusian, as well as Supreme Artifacts of the three clans, are all near the Ghost’s home planet.”

“Even if Zhang Ruochen defeats Xu with a one-in-a-million chance, he’ll die in the end. Xue Jue, have you prepared the coffin for Zhang Ruochen?”

Seeing that Wargod Bloodximius did not speak, the Ghost Master laughed again. “Actually, Zhang Ruochen has another big weakness. That weakness is Supreme Saint Manjian of Guanghan. Now that Supreme Saint Manjian is in Xu’s hands, Zhang Ruochen’s state of mind must be affected.”

“When two top-level elites fight, their state of mind is bound. You can imagine what the result will be.”

Lord Ming’s heart sank.

The Ghost Master had hit the nail on the head.

No matter what, Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation and spiritual energy were too far apart compared to Xu. Xu also had the advantage of the environment and state of mind.

This battle was very disadvantageous to Zhang Ruochen.

Lord Ming knew Zhang Ruochen’s trump card well. After calculating, even if Zhang Ruochen could overcome the pressure of his state of mind, he only had a 30-40% chance of defeating Xu.

Unless Zhang Ruochen broke 10 shackles and doubled the power of his Neverwither Physique, he would be able to win easily.
