Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Chenjing, you found something?” The Supreme Master sensed something.

The Thousand Star Maiden frowned slightly and then smiled. “And I just said that Zhang Ruochen must be in the Yin Yang Sea. That fearless person… Interesting, I wonder what he’s doing.”

​

At this moment, Zhang Ruochen was hidden in the sea as he approached the ship where the Spiritslayer Emperor was.

This was something really dangerous!

Across the entire Bone Clan of the Infernal Court, there were only three who had been crowned Emperor before becoming a Supreme Saint, and Emperor Shiling was one of them. For a being of such level, even the Heavenly Kings of the Celestial Palace needed to tread carefully.

Although Zhang Ruochen was strong, there was still a big gap between him and a Heavenly King.

Moreover, there were countless Infernal Court elites around Emperor Shiling, for Zhang Ruochen to approach alone, if he was discovered, he would be blasted into ashes in an instant.

Zhang Ruochen’s behavior was really difficult for The Thousand Star Maiden to understand. To face the army of the Infernal Court a lot was no longer bravery, but recklessness.

Hearing what the Thousand Star Maiden had said, Fairy Linglong frowned. “The dragons of Zulong Mountain are trapped inside the Exquisite Dimensional Orb in Emperor Shiling’s hand, and Zhang Ruochen’s goal is most likely that.”

Although Fairy Linglong had never met Zhang Ruochen before, his courage and also his willingness to risk his life to save the dragons had won him a touch of her favor.

Hearing this, Sunshine Tianzi said, “Zhang Ruochen sure is overestimating his strength. He wants to save the dragons from the hands of Emperor Shiling. I’m afraid long before he had touched the orb itself, he would have been killed by the Spiritslayer Emperor. What foolishness.”

The Supreme Master’s eyes sharpened and demurred. “Zhang Ruochen is indeed too reckless this time. Emperor Shiling ranks first among the three emperors of the Bone Clan and is so strong that Zhang Ruochen will never stand any chance.

“Zhang Ruochen, what on earth are you trying to do?” The Thousand-Star Maiden’s emotions fluctuated as her eyes were affixed upon the figure lurking in the sea.

In any case, she did not believe that Zhang Ruochen would seek his own death, but for a while, she could not figure out what Zhang Ruochen was thinking.

At a certain point, Zhang Ruochen stopped moving.

It was also at this moment, an invisible power of dimension transmitted through the sea to the area shrouded by the illusion.

Hummm…

A slight fluctuation suddenly appeared in the originally flawless illusion.

“No! Zhang Ruochen touched the illusion spell I had deployed.”

On the deck of the magnificent battleship, the eyes of the Thousand Star Maiden suddenly sharpened.

The illusion around this sea region was deployed by her personally and had used a secret illusion artifact to ensure that it was foolproof.

However, she never thought that her intricate illusion spell would be discovered by Zhang Ruochen.

“Could it be…”

A thought appeared in the Thousand Star Maiden’s mind as she guessed Zhang Ruochen’s motive, and instantly she was so angry, more so than when Zhang Ruochen forced her to sign the marriage agreement.

Boom!

Powerful auras instantly burst out from the seven Infernal Realm warships.

That slight fluctuation was undetectable by any average Saint Kings, but it could not be hidden from the top elites of the Bone Clan and the Netherkins.

For a moment, the attention of all of the powerhouses of the Infernal Court was drawn to the sea region enveloped by the illusion spell, including Emperor Shiling.

At this instant, Zhang Ruochen was very close to the battleship where Emperor Shiling stood and was just several hundred feet away.

“Now!”

Seeing the opportunity, Zhang Ruochen struck without hesitation.

A powerful spatial force was released from Zhang Ruochen’s body and instantly touched the Exquisite Dimensional Orb in Emperor Shiling’s hand.

“Hmm?”

Emperor Shiling instantly sensed it, and immediately wanted to hold the orb tight.

But he was still a step too slow as the Exquisite Dimensional Orb disappeared into thin air.

At the same time, Zhang Ruochen deliberately created subtle movements that extended into the sea region covered by the illusion.

As for him, he did his best to merge with the seawater and retreated at top speed.

“Courting death!”

Emperor Shiling roared violently as he blasted a palm strike out towards the sea region covered by the illusion.

A majestic power of darkness converged in the bone hands of Emperor Shiling, forming a massive Hand of Darkness, and wherever it passed, the space shattered.

At the same time, a Netherkin elite also struck, blasting out a devastating thunder in black, white, and gold as they bombarded the illusion-enveloped sea region.

“Show yourself!”

He wore black dragon-scale armor and held a Skypiercer halberd in hand. He stood thirty feet tall, with a burly figure and a vicious-looking face. There was a pair of shiny black dragon horns on his head, with strange runes etched upon them, exuding the aura of thunder.

He was the leader of the Fane of the Nether’s Seven Top Killers. He was born a Netherdragon, named Xuanming Wushang, who was famous across both the Celestial and Infernal Courts.

Among the thousands of tribes among the Netherkin, the Netherdragon had always been the top tribe. Although their numbers few, they were all extremely powerful and had powerhouses born with every generation, thus they were eternally prosperous.

Boom!

The three-colored nether thunder blasted out, unleashing a devastating power that could tear the heavens apart, instantly destroying the illusion spell, and causing dense black cracks to appear in the surrounding space while kicking up massive tidal waves in its wake.

Without the concealment of the illusion, the five massive warships immediately appeared as they buoyed about in the waves.

The Hand of Darkness Emperor Shiling blasted out crushed at the five ships like an ancient demonic mountain.

Fortunately, brilliant saint light soared from the five warships, and successfully withstood the attack.

“The Thousand Star Civilization, the Big Dipper Civilization, Wushen Civilization, Sunshine Civilization, and the Skydragon Realm, what temerity for you lot to dare hide under my noses. Just you lot alone want to have a piece of the pie as well? You sure don’t know your place.” Xuanming Wushang leered.

As the leader of the Fane of Nether’s Seven Top Killers, he really did not consider the people from the four ancient civilizations and Skydragon Realm to be anything at all.

Sunshine Tianzi stood at the bow of his ship and said, “Xuanming Wushang, who do you think you are! Others may be afraid of the Seven Top Killers, but I’m not!”

At this very moment, the Thousand Star Maiden’s expression became very uncomfortable. She had not expected Zhang Ruochen to use them. This diversion was really clever… no, really shameless.

“Big brother, what is up with that… dogsh*t, Sunshine Tianzi? He’s so annoying. Let’s kill him first.” Si Buxiu laughed with murderous intent.

As soon as those words came out, the others of the Seven Top Killers also locked their sights on Sunshine Tianzi, making no secret of their murderous intentions.

The Fane of Nether’s Seven Top Killers had always acted with impunity, and there was no one they dared not kill.

Sensing the terrifying murderous intent coming from the Seven Top Killers, Sunshine Tianzi’s heart suddenly shuddered as his body went cold and found his movements difficult.

In the hidden dimensional passage, Zhang Ruochen’s cast his gaze onto the five massive warships that had appeared, and a surprised glint appeared in his eyes. He had not expected someone he knew would be in one of the forces present.

“What is Yu Chenjing doing here? Are they also here for the key of the World Gate?” Zhang Ruochen looked puzzled.

The key of the World Gate’s reappearance was an extremely secret matter, but it seemed like it was already well known.

“Team leader, your diversion tactic is really awesome! Letting these two factions fight means it will be easier for us.” Ao Xinyan praised with a smile.

Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said. “They won’t come to blows so easily. Before entering the True Dragon Island, and not gaining any benefits, fighting tooth and nail here is pretty much meaningless.”

“Moreover, the day and night cycle is about to change, and both sides should want to break the forbidden formation of the True Dragon Island as soon as possible. After all, should they miss this opportunity, they will have to wait for another half a month.”

Although he had already rescued the dragons of Zulong Mountain, he did not think that this will prevent the Infernal Court from attacking the True Dragon Island.

For so many powerhouses of the Infernal Court to be present, it showed their powerful will.

That was to never give up before they break into the True Dragon Island.

Zhang Ruochen was a little worried if the Infernal Court had any other cards up their sleeves.

“No matter what, with the intervention of these major forces, it is far better than us facing the Infernal Court army alone.” Ao Xinyan whispered softly.

…

“Don’t even think of hurting His Highness!”

With a violent roar, two figures rushed out from the Sunshine Civilization and appeared beside Sunshine Tianzi.

The two of them looked exactly the same, both were handsome and martial as they wore golden armor and radiated powerful blood Qi from their body, forming all kinds of terrifying visions.

Like Sunshine Tianzi, these two also had the mark of the golden sun on their forehead, but theirs were not as bright.

Seeing the two appear, Sunshine Tianzi’s tense mood finally relaxed as a faint smile appeared on his face as he looked at the Fane of the Nether’s Seven Top Killers.

“You want to kill me? Do you think that there’s no one else in Sunshine Civilization?” Sunshine Tianzi snorted coldly.

Just as the Seven Top Killers were about to get angry, the Son of Darkness’ low, rumbling voice suddenly rang out. “The change of the day and night cycle is nigh, do not cause any delay to the time needed to break the formation.”

“Hand over the Exquisite Dimensional Orb!” Si Buxiu yelled.

Hearing this, a blank look appeared on the faces of the Thousand Star Maiden and the others, as they had no idea what Si Buxiu was talking about.

Yeming Wuyou sensed a familiar aura and said. “It’s not them, t’was Zhang Ruochen who had taken away the Exquisite Dimensional Orb.”

“Zhang Ruochen? He still dares to show up in front of us?” Si Buxiu showed a surprised look.

Yeming Wuyou said. “For someone to use such a bizarre technique to seize the Exquisite Dimensional Orb, there’s no one else but Zhang Ruochen. He deliberately made this move to attract our attention.”

Being able to instantly snatch the Exquisite Dimensional Orb from the hand of a top-level Path’s Anterior-realm powerhouse, this was definitely not something an ordinary person could pull off, and Zhang Ruochen was definitely the biggest suspect.

“Zhang Ruochen, how bold. Show yourself!” Si Buxiu looked around as he carefully searched for Zhang Ruochen’s trace.

Xuese Lianyi’s eyes locked onto the warship of the Skydragon Realm, a cold glint appeared in his eyes. “Since we are without the dragons of Zulong Mountain, then let’s use the dragons from the Skydragon Realm instead!”

On the Skydragon Realm’s warship were all Saint King-realm powerhouses, with strong bloodlines running in their body. The Blood Sacrifice’s effect should be better.

Raawrr!

A thunderous dragon’s roar rang out.

The thick black fog dispersed and a golden dragon, hundreds of miles long, rushed down from the sky and landed on the warship of the Skydragon Realm.

When the golden light retracted, the golden dragon transformed into an extremely handsome young man with long golden hair and eyes. There was a pair of dragon horns on his forehead that looked like they were forged from divine gold. Immeasurable draconic Qi coiled around his body, transforming into small golden dragons that danced around him.

“Xuese Lianyi, you want to sacrifice my people, you can try then.” The man with golden hair’s eyes burst into a terrifying light as he stared at Xuese Lianyi.

At the same time, there were also extremely terrifying auras being exuded from the warships of the Thousand Star Civilization, the Big Dipper Civilization, the Wushen Civilization as they opposed the Infernal Court.

Clearly, the four ancient civilizations and the Skydragon Realm came prepared this time and were not short of top-level powerhouses.
