A thousand years ago, Xuemo’s cultivation had reached the Supreme Saint Realm with his heaven-defying talent in Kunlun, where the precepts of heaven and earth were incomplete. Back then, he was Blood Empress’s greatest enemy.

Blood Empress joined forces with Emperor Ming and Yan Lirento killed Xuemo.

To be exact, they didn’t end Xuemo completely. He preserved his head and Saint Soul and hibernated for a thousand years.

After a thousand years, Xuemo woke up. His cultivation fell to the bottom. He didn’t have a Sainthood Source or a complete body. However, he had cultivated and reached the Nine-Step Saint King Realm in the Endless Abyss within a few years.

At his pinnacle state, the precepts within Xuemo had exceeded 90 million. He could challenge the invincible Yan Wushen.

Xuemo seemed to be more than a thousand years old, but it couldn’t be considered that. Zhang Ruochen’s soul had merged with the Ninth Prince’s body 800 years later. But that doesn’t mean Zhang Ruochen was already over 800 years old, right?

In fact, the current Xuemo was completely different from Xuemo from 1,000 years ago. As though he had reincarnated.

Some Immortal Vampires god saw Xuemo as extraordinary. He used his divine spirits to ask the chief of the Demonsky Clan, “When did such a powerful junior appear in the Demonsky Clan? He just broke through to the Hundred-Shackle Realm and already possessed such paramount might.”

The chief of the Demonsky Clan said calmly, “He’s powerful? The Demonsky Clan is full of geniuses. Xuemo can only be considered to be above average!”

The god who asked just now really wanted to spit on the face of the Demonsky Clan chief.

The god thought, ‘Above-average?

‘Why don’t you find another above-average person if you have the ability?’

Many gods of the Immortal Vampires had long been aware of Xuemo. He was the first cultivator from the Infernal Court to break into the Dark Star after entering the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting.

After coming out of the Dark Star, his cultivation had reached the Hundred-Shackle Realm.

In this Battle of Celestial-Hunting, there were a total of fifty-three cultivators who had entered the Dark Star. There were only six who could escape, and the death rate was almost 90%.

Xuemo was one of the six survivors. It was hard not to be noticed.

In Wargod Bloodximius’ divinity realm, the gods of the Bloodysky Clan were also discussing Xuemo.

“Xuemo’s body was already destroyed,” Blood Empress explained, “but in the Endless Abyss of Kunlun, he obtained the secret cultivation method of the Ancient Path of Wiccan and condensed the Deva Wiccan Demonic Physique.”

“Cultivating the Path of Wiccan? Interesting, ” said Wargod Bloodximius.

For Wargod Bloodximius, who looked down on all living things, to say “interesting” was obviously something out of ordinary.

“The precepts of heaven and earth in this era are very different from those in the ancient times. It is no longer suitable to cultivate the Path of Wiccan. For him to be able to cultivate the Path of Wiccan to such an extent is indeed extraordinary,” said a god.

The Path of Wiccan was not inferior to the Nine Great Paths of the Ancients. It was a power that even gods yearned to grasp.

Apart from that, the Path of Wiccan also had all sorts of ancient secrets that could open up the various ancient ruins.

Unfortunately, times had changed. Today, there were very few cultivators who could cultivate the Path of Wiccan successfully. Even the Deva Path of Great Wiccan of the Yanluo clan had been modified so that the Yanluo clan cultivators could cultivate it.

Blood Empress said, “He can control the Power of Wiccan. It should have something to do with cultivating nine Demonstone Engravings at the same time.”

…

Amane once again descended into Luo Yan’s divinity realm and said, “Just now, I went to read the Tome of the Divines. Xuemo is ranked second in first class, second only to Yuan Qianmo.”

Luo Yan was surprised and said, “With such a high ranking, does that mean that he will definitely become a god?”

Amane nodded and said, “Yuan Qianmo is a demigod. He is just one step away from becoming a god. To be exact, he could have become a god two hundred years ago. It’s just that he has been suppressing his realm.”

The Tome of the Divines was one of the six Heavenly Tomes of Destiny. In the Celestial Court and Infernal Courts, the names of Supreme Saints who had a 10% chance of becoming a god would naturally appear on it.

The higher the chance of one becoming a deity, the higher the ranking.

Those who could be classified as first-class were almost all demigods. They were definitely people who could become deities.

Xuemo was only in the Hundred-Shackle Realm, but he was already classified as first-class and was ranked second. Naturally, Luo Yan was shocked.

Luo Yan sighed, “Why are there so many outstanding figures in this thousand years?”

“Not this thousand years. It should be this Yuanhui period. This Yuanhui period has given birth to too many powerful juniors. It’s just that there are especially many in this thousand years.” Amane said.

Luo Yan’s eyes darkened, and he said, “Perhaps it is a sign that a cruel era is about to arrive. I hope that the War of the Divines from 100,000 years ago will not happen again.”

Even a prominent figure like Luo Yan did not wish for a large-scale War of the Divines to erupt.

Every time he thought about it, Luo Yan felt that the battle from 100,000 years ago was too terrifying.

The injuries from that battle had affected him for 100,000 years.

Luo Yan and Amane’s hearts were heavy. They knew very well that there would be an even more chaotic era soon. It was impossible to avoid it.

It was very likely that it would be even crueler than 100,000 years ago.

Luo Yan said, “Zhang Ruochen’s name hasn’t appeared on the Tome of the Divines yet?”

“It’s strange that his name suddenly appeared! He’s ranked 87th in third-class,” said Amane.

Zhang Ruochen was in a very low ranking.

Luo Yan said, “It shouldn’t be because he was able to condense the Grade Two Saintwill. It’s because his state of mind has changed. It’s good that he got a ranking… At least there’s still hope for him.”

Many cultivators thought that with Zhang Ruochen’s talent, he would definitely become a god.

But in reality, Zhang Ruochen’s name didn’t appear on the Tome of the Divines for a long time. According to the gods’ analysis, the Thousand-Koan Realm and the Banshi Isshou Realm would be big obstacles for Zhang Ruochen. He might not be able to break through and would not advance forever.

…

On the Immortal Vampires’ home planet.

The asteroids still crashed crazily onto the Star-Shield Grand Formation. The seven High-Saint Array Masters used the asteroids as a cover to break into the array and begin to break it.

At the same time, Xuemo moved the dimensional teleportation array to the sky and placed it inside the array.

All the Immortal Vampires’ Array Masters stood at the important nodes of the attack array, waiting for Yan Huangtu and Pink Skull to come.

Lord Xia Yu looked up and said, “The High-Saint Array Masters of the Yanluo clan and the Bone Clan are already breaking the first layer of the Star-Shield Grand Formation. Why don’t we activate the attack array first and deal with them?”

Xuemo stared at the teleportation array and said, “If they want to break through the array, it won’t be that soon. Focus on dealing with Yan Huangtu and Pink Skull. Don’t just attend to one thing and lose sight of another.”

Two hours later.

There was no response from the teleportation array. However, the first layer of the Star-Shield Grand Formation was on the verge of collapse. 70% of the inscriptions on the array had been broken.

Lord Xia Yu was anxious and said, “Yan Huangtu might not come through the teleportation array. I think we have to activate the attack array immediately and deal with the seven High-Saint Array Masters first.”

Xuemo said, “Calm down! The 300 Bone Clan Supreme Saints were gathered outside to resist the power of the attack array. You will not be able to kill the seven High-Saint Array Masters. Yan Huangtu will undoubtedly attend. I’m certain of it. Very soon, the moment the first layer of the Star-Shield Grand Formation is broken, he will come to the teleportation array. That’s the best time.”

BOOM!

The first layer of the Star-Shield Grand Formation was broken.

Many asteroids fell and hit the second layer of the Star-Shield Grand Formation like raindrops.

While most of the cultivators’ attention was attracted, a beam of light appeared in the teleportation array floating in the void.

Lord Xia Yu stood on the Pleiades Lotus and said, “Finally! Activate the array and launch the strongest attack.”

All the Immortal Vampires’ Array Masters released their spiritual power and Saint Qi activated the dense array inscriptions.

The first wave of attack was crucial because all the invading cultivators were gathered in the array at this time, which was equivalent to a fixed-point attack. However, once they escaped the first wave of attack, the invading cultivators would instantly scatter, and the effect of the attacking array would greatly decrease.

“Wait a moment.”

Lord Xia Yu was stopped by Xuemo. His gaze was fixed on the three-dimensional teleportation array. Through the light, he could see inside.

There was a figure in the array.

It wasn’t Yan Huangtu nor Pink Skull.

It was Sang Ki, a Bone Clan Supreme Saint at the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm. He was 40 meters tall and had a pitch-black physique. He held a dark-red evil saber.

“Haha! Yan Huangtu is indeed powerful. He sent a bait first to make sure nothing went wrong. Zhang Ruochen’s woman, I’ll leave this to you. I’m going to meet the Supreme Saint at the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm.”

Xuemo turned into a blood shadow. It shot out at high speed and crashed into Sang Ki in the portal, sending him flying.

Lord Xia Yu didn’t pay much attention to the way Xuemo addressed her, but she was shocked by Xuemo’s behavior.

A mere Supreme Saint at the beginning of the Hundred-Shackle Realm dared to challenge a Supreme Saint at the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm.

‘Do you think you’re Zhang Ruochen or Yan Wushen?’ Lord Xia Yu thought.

Swoosh

A beam of light appeared once again in the dimensional teleportation array.

It’s here!

Lord Xia Yu did not look at Xuemo who was courting death anymore. Together with the Immortal Vampires’ Array Masters, she activated the ninth-class attack array to the extreme. The Pleiades Lotus under her feet emitted an extremely dark radiance and merged with the array.

Yan Huangtu, Pink Skull, and more than 100 Bone Clan Supreme Saints in the Hundred-Shackle Realm appeared in the dimensional teleportation array.

All of them were powerhouses, and their saint might surge.

Pink Skull said, “Actually, we don’t need to send Sang Ki over. The main forces of the Immortal Vampires are all on the seventh Dark Star. With our strength, even if all the Immortal Vampires on our planet were to ambush outside the teleportation array, they would only be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Moreover, they might not know that we have the coordinates of the teleportation array.”

Yan Huangtu’s eyes shone with a golden light as he stared at the light of the teleportation array. His expression changed as he shouted, “All cultivators, activate your Artifacts to defend yourselves. Hurry!”

The attack array’s power attacked the teleportation array from all directions. It was a lightning bolt in the shape of a dragon. Each bolt had a diameter of 3 meters.

CRACK!

The teleportation array shattered instantly and turned into dust.

More than a hundred Bone Clan Supreme Saints were sent flying.

The Regal Artifacts were shattered by the bolts of lightning. The bones of the Bone Clan Supreme Saints were turned into ashes.

In just an instant, fourteen Bone Clan Supreme Saints of the Hundred-Shackle Realm perished and their bodies were burned to ashes.

Many of the Hundred-Shackle Realm Supreme Saints of the Bone Clan were severely injured and their bones flew in the air.

Only the bones of the 40-odd Hundred-Shackle Realm Supreme Saints of the Bone Clan were relatively well-preserved and could continue fighting.

Pink Skull was also blasted away by the array. However, she had a divine bone body and she managed to activate the Supreme Artifact to protect her body in time. Hence, her injuries were not serious.

However, the Bone Clan being so heavily injured made her so angry that she was about to go crazy.

“Lord Xia Yu, you’re courting death.”

Pink Skull’s body grew rapidly, becoming 100 meters tall, 1,000 meters tall, 10,000 meters tall, and 100,000 meters tall… its enormous and ferocious body waved a huge hand and slapped Lord Xia Yu, who was standing on the Pleiades Lotus.

Lord Xia Yu remained calm and controlled the attack array.

Over a hundred dragon-shaped lightning bolts flew out from the array and struck the giant divine skeleton’s body. Pink Skull turned black and fell back into the array.
