There was still a month before Celestial-Hunting Festival.
Infernal Court’s most outstanding elites in a thousand years had all gathered at Winterpage City in the Divine Domain of Destiny.
During the auction held in Realm of Star Ocean, the new rising star, Supreme Saint Xue Tu had successfully bid seven cauldrons of Fugue Pills, one-Yuanhui old Lotus of Divine Reflection, and the God corpse with hundreds of thousands of divine stones. This news spread like wildfire, sending everyone shockwaves.
Then, Xue Tu challenged Lord Bladehell and taught Supreme Saint Cang Ye a lesson. His showy and tough means made all beings of different clans wide-eyed. They had to reevaluate him.
“We used to focus our attention on Zhang Ruochen, Lord Xia Yu, Gu Chenzi, and Supreme Saint Yi Xuan. Now, we have to add Xue Tu to the list.”
All Immortal Vampire clans added Xue Tu to their watch list of cultivators posing a treat. Only a Supreme Saint who had at least broken 70 shackles would make it to the list.
Among the ten Immortal Vampire clans, Xue Tu was the second exception following Zhang Ruochen.
Hearing the cultivators around talking about Xue Tu, Scion Yuan Mo was rather disdainful, he said, “Xue Tu?”? He was only relying on external forces. If not for the Thousand-Koan Realm Supreme Saint and Dark Prison Talismans, forget about Lord Bladehell, even Supreme Saint Cangye would have been able to beat him to his knees. And there will be no external support he can get at Celestial-Hunting Festival.”
Scion Yuan Mo’s elder brother, Supreme Saint Yuan Fei, who had reached the peak of the Hundred-Shackle Realm, immediately lectured him. “Don’t judge a book based on its cover. Have you ever given a second thought? Where did he get so many divine stones? How did he get a Thousand-Koan Realm Supreme Saint from Stone Clan to be his bodyguard?”
“Furthermore, there’s no way you can trap three Hundred-Shackle Realm Supreme Saints from the Qitian Clan, including Lord Bladehell if I give you a Dark Prison Talisman. Things are not always what they seem. Xue Tu must have read the thoughts of Lord Bladehell and his men so well that he knew the precise right time to trap them.
“Before the Dark Prison Talisman was activated, he used Dimensional power. The talisman appeared instantly and did not give the three Hundred-Shackle Realm Supreme Saints any chance to dodge it.”
“When you and Xue Tu were Saint Kings, you might be stronger than him. But now, if you underestimate him, he can become a threat for u.”
Scion Yuan Mo was terrified. Xue Tu’s threat had reached a point that even his elder brother had to pay attention to.
“Is Xue Tu really that brilliant?”Scion Yuan Mo asked.
Supreme Saint Yuan Fei nodded solemnly, he said, “Xue Tu must have obtained something else other than the Mark of Wargod Bloodflame in Kunlun. It is hard to tell how big of a threat he posed.
“Even Wu Jiang and Lord Sinluo can’t see through him. No matter what, it’s better to be wary against him than underestimating him.”
Bloodysky Clan cultivators were all excited.
Xue Tu’s actions in Realm of Star Ocean made them feel so proud that they called him a “Hero of the Clan.”
From now on, who would dare to mock Bloodsky Clan’s position among the ten major clans?
So what if the Qitian Clan was ranked first?
They couldn’t even get a cauldron of Fugue Pills in the face of Supreme Saint Xue Tu.
Even a powerful existence like Supreme Saint Cangye was like a puny bug in the eyes of Supreme Saint Xue Tu. Xue Tu did not even treat him as a worthy opponent and taught him a lesson.
Lord Bladehell’s cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of the Hundred-Shackle Realm. However, he didn’t have any upper hand when facing Xue Tu. He could only watch him leave nonchalantly.
At this moment, at Vastsea Manor in Bingsi District, Xue Tu, whose name had shaken the Divine Domain of Destiny, was released by Zhang Ruochen from an Exquisite Dimensional Orb. He was still worried. He felt that this auction was a huge trap. He had offended a bunch of cultivators for no reason.
In the future, he wouldn’t be able to move even an inch in the Divine Domain of Destiny.
As soon as Xue Tu walked out of Vastsea Manor, he bumped into Lord Xue Chen.
Lord Xue Chen cupped his fists and said in a serious tone, “Supreme Sain Xue Tu, Father has asked me to invite you, hoping to meet you.”
“Brother Xue Chen, there’s no need to be so polite. Just call me Xue Tu. Since it’s Supreme Saint Qingsheng’s invitation, I must go meet him.”
Xue Tu was very surprised. He felt that Xue Chen was being overly polite to him.
One had to know that when he was a Saint King, his cultivation was slightly weaker than Xue Chen.
In terms of family background, how could Xue Tu’s family compare to the Xue Jue Family?
Although Xue Chen was still a Saint King for now, he could attain Supreme Sainthood anytime he wanted. However, he planned to consume an Altofruit during Celestial-Hunting Festival to cultivate his Path to Perfection before breaking through.
All the Saint Kings who attended Celestial-Hunting Festival had the same plan.
Hence, Xue Tu did not have any advantages in front of Xue Chen. And of course, he did not dare to act like a Supreme Saint.
“Supreme Saint Xue Tu, Lady Wind would like to meet you.”
“Supreme Saint Xue Tu, Supreme Saint Yanhong has sent an invitation. She hopes that you can attend tonight’s banquet.”
…
Xue Tu received a large stack of invitations, including the Scioness candidates, Lady Wind and Supreme Saint Yanhong. For a moment, he was at a loss.
He was even more worried. He paced back and forth, trying to figure out their intentions and whether the invitations were traps.
If they were traps…
Once he went to the banquet, he might not be able to come back unscathed.
“Most of them are coming for the Fugue Pills, the God Corpse, and Lotuses of Divine Reflection. But I have none. Forget it. I can’t take this risk. It’s safer to stay in Zhang Ruochen’s Vastsea Manor.”
Xue Tu felt that he was in danger now. He had made many enemies; the number could surpass Zhang Ruochen’s. He felt aggrieved.
He had thought that after breaking through to become a Supreme Saint, he was supposed to enjoy boundless glory in Infernal Court. How did he end up in such a state without realizing it?
Zhang Ruochen returned to Vastsea Manor and opened Sundial.
Now, he had many Godstones. He wasn’t afraid of shortage.
Zhang Ruochen took out Ancient Abyssal Blade and summoned its sword spirit. Zhang Ruochen gave him ten Earth-Grade and ten Heaven-Grade Implement Nurturing Pills.
“Give me five years to refine these Implement Nurturing Pills. My cultivation should be able to withstand the second King’s Calamity.” The Sword Spirit swallowed an Implement Nurturing Pill and sat cross-legged under Sundial. He started cultivation training.
The sword spirit’s cultivation was still weak. Not only did he have to refine pills, but he also had to comprehend the cultivation Paths and refine his physique. Therefore, it would take a long time.
However, with the help of Sundial, five years was only five days.
Zhang Ruochen took a Heaven Grade Sacred Pill named Firmament Pills to improve his spiritual power. As he refined and absorbed it, he let out five Saint Aspects. They sat under Sundial to comprehend the Paths.
Although Zhang Ruochen had cultivated Saintwill, there were only 510 million Precepts within him.
He had to practice 800 million Precepts to reach the advanced stage of Neverwilt Realm.
“With my current enlightenment speed, I should be able to reach the advanced stage of Neverwilt Realm in 15 years.
“I can achieve the peak of Neverwilt Realm in 20 years.
“The number of Precepts can no longer hinder my cultivation. The key lies in the cultivation of Saintwills.”
Zhang Ruochen was not satisfied with condensing the fifth-class “Nine-tremors Saintwill.”
He had to do his best to condense every kind of Saintwill.

Zhang Ruochen took out a semi-transparent sphere with 12 stellar cores inside.
One was sixth-level, five were of fifth-level, and six were fourth-level.
Zhang Ruochen chose Qiankun Realm to be the location to refine the stellar cores.
A fourth-level stellar core expanded to the size bigger than a mountain once it was taken out. It was pitch-black and kept sinking the ground. Perhaps more than half the weight of the fourth-level planet had been refined into the stellar core.
Zhang Ruochen had been worried that Violet Gourd could not refine a sixth-level stellar core. However, the devouring power of the Golden Sun of Destruction and Cosmic Glazier Stone had exceeded his expectations.
In less than two hours, all 12 stellar cores had been integrated into Violet Gourd.
“I wonder how much the suction of Violet Gourd has increased. I have to test it out on a cultivator.”
When Zhang Ruochen thought of the four cultivators of Heavenly Realm suppressed in the microworld of woodlands, he released them.
The four of them were:
Lian Xi, Fairy Shadowless from Soul Realm, a beauty in Portrait of the Nine Beauties. who was also known as King Daxi.
Gaunt, a top Colossion Saint King from Heavenly Realm.
Zhou Zhen, Celestial Court’s Formation Sect leader who was a High-Saint Array Master.
Shentu Yunkong, the leader of the Fane of Dimension. He had been the most outstanding cultivator of the Fane since 10,000 years ago.
The four of them had been imprisoned and were unaware of what was happening outside the microworld. As soon as they landed in Qiankun, they immediately spread out and surrounded Zhang Ruochen.
They released Saint Qi and spiritual power. It was as if they wanted to join forces to suppress Zhang Ruochen.
“Zhang Ruochen, no matter how powerful you are, you can’t fight against the entire Heavenly Realm alone.” Shentu Yunkong raised his right arm. His muscles bulged, and waves of destructive thunder and lightning power surged out of his body.
Shentu Yunkong spread his hands and formed a Spatial Domain, emitting Saint light. “Kunlun will meet its end. You can’t stop it!” he shouted.
Zhang Ruochen stared at them quietly. He felt as if he had returned to Kunlun.
Lian Xi was much calmer. She had been observing Zhang Ruochen. After a while, she was surprised. “You have become a Supreme Saint? And th-this isn’t Kunlun!”
Shentu Yunkong, Zhou Zhen, and the rest were shocked. They quickly look at their surroundings.
“It’s indeed not Kunlun. The Precepts of Heaven and Earth in this world are quite special. It seems to revolve around Zhang Ruochen,” Gaunt said.
Shentu Yunkong said, “It should be a world formed after Zhang Ruochen used the Precepts of Dimension to merge with some Dimensional item. However, this world… is very vast that my spiritual power can’t see the ends.”
Zhou Zhen’s expression became very ugly. When Zhang Ruochen was still a Saint King, he could easily suppress him. Now that he had become a Supreme Saint, how could he fight?
Shentu Yunkong was still calm. He said, “Don’t panic. Let’s break through to the Supreme Saint realm together. I don’t believe that with four Supreme Saints working together, we can’t kill Zhang Ruochen? As long as we kill him, we can naturally break through this world.”
The four of them had all reached Path’s Anterior. However, they had been suppressing their realms because they wanted to obtain opportunities and treasures on the Battlefields of Merits in Kunlun.
If they had wanted to break through, they could have quickly condensed Neverwither physique and become Supreme Saints.
Among them, Lian Xi, Shentu Yunkong, and Zhou Zhen were all extraordinary spiritual power masters. They had long reached the peak of the 59th level. They could become spiritual power Supreme Saints anytime.
If Zhang Ruochen had wanted to stop them, no matter how powerful they were, they would not have become Supreme Saints while they were in Qiankun.
However, Zhang Ruochen didn’t stop them. Instead, he sat on a huge rock he found and looked at them as if he was waiting for them to break through.
Zhang Ruochen’s actions made Lian Xi, who knew him well, feel slightly bitter. She thought, ‘Zhang Ruochen is calm, and his eyes are deep and unfathomable. He didn’t stop us from breaking through. He’s obviously very confident in himself. That’s right. Even if we break through and become a Supreme Saint, we could not defeat him.
‘However, Shentu Yunkong is the Master of Space, and Zhou Zhen is the High-Saint Array Master. Once they attain Supreme Sainthood, their combat power will definitely increase. Not only Zhang Ruochen is arrogant, but he also underestimates us. This could be our chance.’
Lian Xi did not think any further and went all out to break through to Supreme Sainthood.
Not long after, Lian Xi, Shentu Yunkong, and Zhou Zhen made it one after another and became spiritual power Supreme Saints.
Gaunt, on the other hand, condensed a Neverwither physique in the distance. He was at a critical point of breaking through to Supreme Sainthood.
Lian Xi took out a crystal staff from a spatial necklace. It was activated by the spiritual power of the 60th level. The staff immediately released thousands of black Ghost marks, causing the sky within a radius of 500 kilometers to turn dark.
Her beautiful hair flew in the air. With the twinkling of light, her exquisite facial features appeared and disappeared at times.
“She is indeed a beauty. After becoming a spiritual power Supreme Saint, her demeanor is more graceful than before,” Zhang Ruochen commented while sitting on the rock with a serious expression.
Lian Xi’s perfect outer appearance and shapely body were not the only reasons that made her one of the beauties in Portrait of the Nine Beauties standing next to Fairy of a Hundred Flowers, Fairy Ci Hang, and other beauties. Her temperament was also her strength. Despite being evil and spooky, she did not evoke fear among people. On the contrary, she was pleasing to the eye. The more people looked at her, the more they wanted to see her.
She was the representative figure among the dark beauties in macroworlds of Celestial Court.
Zappp!
Zhou Zhen pressed his right hand on the ground. Suddenly, a huge array appeared and trapped Zhang Ruochen inside.
Shentu Yunkong reached out his hands above his head as if he was holding something in the air.
“The Realm in Clouds.”
A red continent condensed from the dimensional power appeared in the clouds. It was hundreds of miles long, and it pressed down on Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen said, “You guys are still too weak. You are not worthy to be my opponent for now. These attack moves are only mediocre. Disperse!”
He stood up and gently stamped his foot.
Rumble.
The array formed by Zhou Zhen shattered. The crimson continent formed by Shentu Yunkong turned into specks of dust. The black Ghost marks released by the Lian Xi all returned.
The three spat out blood at the same time and were sent flying dozens of miles away. After a long while, they struggled to get up from the ground.
“Impossible… no matter how strong you are, you can’t be this strong…”
Shentu Yunkong had been the top elite among cultivators of the Fane of Dimension since 10,000 years ago. The Fane of Dimension had sent him to counter Zhang Ruochen in Kunlun. How could he withstand such a blow? His state of mind almost collapsed.
Zhang Ruochen stared at them and shook his head gently. “While you are here, even if you are ten times stronger, I can easily subdue you. Sigh!
“I was going to ask you to help me test the power of Violet Gourd, but it seems that even if you break through to the Supreme Saint Realm, your strength is still far from enough.”
Then, Zhang Ruochen urged Gong, who was condensing the Neverwither physique, “Speed up. When you also break through to the Supreme Saint realm, I’ll take you to Infernal Court to check it out. I’ll also introduce you to a few Supreme Saints of Infernal Court.”
Just now, Xue Tu had brought Supreme Saint Qingsheng to Vastsea Manor and was talking to Zhang Ruochen.
The Zhang Ruochen in Qiankun was only his avatar.
When Shentu Yunkong, Zhou Zhen, and Xuan Xi heard Zhang Ruochen’s words, they were all stunned. They thought they were hearing things.
‘What did Zhang Ruochen just say?
‘Take us to Infernal Court?
‘Introduce us to Infernal Court Supreme Saints?’
