Chapter 2235: Divine Fetus
“Lan Ying greets the gods.”
“Hong Futu greets the gods.”
The two bowed at the same time. They had deep respect for the two giant gods who awed Infernal Court for hundreds of thousands of years.
Asurendra Samay’s divine gaze swept over Lan Ying and Hong Futu. He showed a hint of disappointment and said, “These two are the most powerful Celestial-Hunting Festival representatives for Fane of Barasingha?”
“Why? Do you think they can’t kill Zhang Ruochen?” asked Asurendra Barasingha.
“As far as I know, Zhang Ruochen has defeated three top Hundred-Shackle Supreme Saints of Bloodysky Clan at the God-ascension Ceremony. Although their cultivation is weak, their battle strength has probably reached great perfection of the Hundred-Shackle Realm,” Asurendra Samay said.
Asurendra Barasingha smiled, “It’s not strange for a peerless foe to be on par with Yan Wushen to fight against a Hundred-Shackle Supreme Saint in Neverwilt Realm. However, does every Hundred-Shackle Supreme Saint have the same Hundred-Shackle level battle strength?”
“What do you mean?”Asurendra Samay asked.
“Take a closer look,” Asurendra Barasingha replied.
Asurendra Samay’s gaze landed on Lan Ying and Hong Futu once again. A look of astonishment appeared on his face as he exclaimed, “Divine beast—Bloodborne, Spirit of Slaughter.”
“That’s right. Hong Futu is a pure-blooded divine beast called Bloodborne. He is extremely talented and has immense strength. When he was at the Neverwilt Realm, he once heavily injured a Hundred-Shackle Supreme Saint. His combat strength can be said to be boundless,” Asurendra Barasingha replied.
The bloodline of pure-blooded divine beasts were passed down from generation to generation. Even in Demon God Realm, one of the four dominant worlds of Celestial Court, divine beasts were rare. Once they reached adulthood and transcended Divine Beast Tribulation, they would at least possess the combat strength of a god.
Pure-blooded divine beasts that ascended to Ashuran Planet were even rarer. It was likely to never meet one in ten thousand years.
Following that, Asurendra Barasingha said, “Lan Ying is even more extraordinary. Not only is it a Spirit of Slaughter, it is also a Divine Fetus of the Universe.
“Three hundred years ago, I passed by the ruins of a divine battlefield in the Universe and discovered a thick divine cloud. The cloud was condensed from divine force and Qi of Slaughter. It was shaped like a fetus and emitted light of different colors. Each light was divided into two colors, light and dark. It had been nurtured for at least three Yuanhui Tribulations.”
“Perhaps it was fate. At this moment, the fetus egg broke open and an infant walked out. Its body was still emitting colors. It opened its mouth and inhaled with greed. It swallowed all the Qi of Slaughter in the ruins and instantly achieved Saint level.
“At that time, I took him in as my disciple and named him Saint Baby. Unexpectedly, the little guy was extremely greedy. When I held him in my arms, he wanted to swallow my divine force. So I changed his name to Lan Ying, which meant greedy baby.”
Asurendra Samay looked carefully at Lan Ying and said to himself, ‘So there really is a Divine Fetus in this world. Although he only achieved Great Perfection in Hundred-Shackle Realm, there is a lot of divine force in his body. His divine fetus body should be no weaker than Zhang Ruochen’s demigod body.’
When he thought of this, Samay had another thought. ‘Perhaps the Divine Fetus is more suitable for me.’
“Samay, do you think the two of them can kill Zhang Ruochen?” Asurendra Barasingha asked.
“The two of them are strong enough. But to be sure, I’ll help them.”
Asurendra Samay took out a black pill the size of a dragon’s eye. He waved his hand and tossed it to Hong Futu, “Take it. I will help you raise your cultivation skills to the stage of Great Perfection of Hundred-Shackle Realm.”
Hong Futu held the black pill in his hands. He could clearly sense the immense intent for battle contained within it. His heart was filled with joy as he hurriedly consumed it.
Blast
Two rays of divine light shot out from Asurendra Samay’s divine eyes and converged onto Hong Futu’s body.
The densely packed light spots of Time enveloped Hong Futu. The flow of time there was extremely slow.
He had been cultivating in there for ten years, but only one day had passed in the outside world.
Such an extraordinary Time Technique, even with Asurendra Samay’s cultivation level, it consumed a considerable amount of divine force. Moreover, it could only be maintained within an extremely small area of space. It wasn’t like the Sundial, which had the power to encompass a million miles of land.
Lan Ying walked to Hong Futu’s side and entered the Light of Time to practice the Sword of Asura.
Asurendra Barasingha glanced at Asurendra Samay and said, “Actually, you don’t need to use your divine force to do this. You should know that in Infernal Court, there are countless forces that want to kill Zhang Ruochen.”
“Nether Clan, Ghost, Bone Clan, Rakshasa, Immortal Vampires… Countless forces have deep hatred towards him. How would they not attack him at the Celestial-Hunting Festival? I doubt that Zhang Ruochen will be able to make it to the Celestial-Hunting Festival alive.”
“Wargod Bloodximius is ambitious. He has always wanted to improve himself. Bloodysky Clan has made many arrangements regarding their ranking and status among Immortal Vampires.”
“However, it would be the worst decision he ever made if he let Zhang Ruochen be the leader of Bloodysky Clan. His plans for the past thousand years would be destroyed in an instant. It might even cause the thousand-year-old talents of Bloodysky Clan to wither away. He could only continue to plan for the next thousand years.”
..
After two years of refining in the divine furnace, the Mercury Gourd, the Golden Sun of Destruction, and the Cosmic Glazier Stone had fused together and turned into a dazzling Violet Gourd.
When Zhang Ruochen took it back from the Furnace of Heaven and Earth, a scorching destructive power hit him, which caused the Armor of the Fire God on his body to release flames.
He used his spiritual power to sense it carefully.
“Good! The Golden Sun of Destruction inscriptions have merged with the Mercury Gourd. Inside the gourd, Golden Sun of Destruction and Cosmic Glazier Stone have turned into Yinyang Vortexes. One is cold and the other is hot. Both of them are swirling on and on.”
The internal world of the Mercury Gourd had reached Zhang Ruochen’s prediction before refining. It was very helpful for cultivating Fist and Palm.
However, he could not call it the Mercury Gourd now.
He had to change its name.
What should he call it?
Zhang Ruochen thought of many names, such as “Heaven Swallowing and Earth Refining Gourd”, “Time and Dimension Chaos Gourd”, and “Cosmic Destruction Gourd”.
However, he felt that these names were similar to”the Emperor who Slaughtered the Heavens and Earth hundreds” that Blackie had given him. They were all silly.
What if he became famous in Infernal Court with this gourd. It was very likely that he would be called “the Emperor who Slaughtered the Heavens and Earth hundreds”, “Master of Time and Space Chaos”, and “Blood Emperor of Cosmic Destruction” by the cultivators of Infernal Court.
It sounded domineering but…
It did not suit his temperament.
“Forget it. Why overthink it? Let’s call it the Violet Gourd. It’s simple. It’s good.”
After cooling down the Violet Gourd, Zhang Ruochen held it in his hand and flew toward Supreme Saint Qingsheng. “Supreme Saint, my gourd has been refined. Help me test its power.”
Supreme Saint Qingsheng was very curious about the gourd that Zhang Ruochen had fused with the Mercury Gourd, Golden Sun of Destruction, and Cosmic Glazier Stone. However, with the previous experience, how would he dare test it for him?
“All the cultivators from Bloodysky Clan who participated in the Celestial-Hunting Festival have arrived at the Xue Jue Family. Let’s not test it yet. Let’s go,” Supreme Saint Qingsheng urged.
Zhang Ruochen said, “It won’t take long to test. Don’t be afraid, Supreme Saint. This time, you don’t have to enter the gourd. You just stand there.”
Supreme Saint Qingsheng didn’t like the word “afraid.” When he heard it, he looked unhappy. “Afraid? I’ve reached the Paramount Realm. I’m not afraid of anything below the level of gods.”
“Okay, Supreme Saint, stand firm!”
Zhang Ruochen did not care whether Supreme Saint Qingsheng agreed or not. Hepoured Saint Qi into the Violet Gourd. The Dimensional Array at the mouth of the gourd appeared again, covering a radius of hundreds of miles.
This time, it was different from the last time. The Golden Sun of Destruction and the Cosmic Glazier Stone inside the gourd spun rapidly and turned into a violet Yinyang Vortex that combined with the Dimensional Array. A massive suction force that far surpassed the previous one burst forth.
Boom
Supreme Saint Qingsheng, who was initially unperturbed by the dimensional collapse and pulling force of the Yinyang Vortex, was actually unable to stand steadily as he was caught off guard. He took a small step forward and appeared slightly disheveled.
However, he just stood there casually and did not use his power.
No matter how strong the Violet Gourd was, Supreme Saint Qingsheng wouldn’t have move at all.
“How is it?” Zhang Ruochen quickly asked.
Supreme Saint Qingsheng’s had a bad look on his face. He stared at the Violet Gourd with a serious expression, “The suction power of the gourd is more than twice as strong as before,” he said. “An ordinary Thousand-Koan Supreme Saint would definitely be sucked in if he got too close.”
At this moment, Supreme Saint Qingsheng finally understood why Wargod Bloodximius had taken such a huge risk to let Zhang Ruochen lead the team.
This gourd alone was enough for Zhang Ruochen to shine at the Celestial-Hunting Festival.
Zhang Ruochen frowned and said, “It seems that the suction power is still not enough. However, I still have a way to improve. Supreme Saint, does Xue Jue Family have a Star Nucleus?”
This so-called Star Nucleus was the core of a star. It was a material that must be used to refine heavy weapons.
Just like the Golden Sun of Destruction, it was refined from the core essence of a star.
If the Golden Sun of Destruction was a complete star, its gravitational force alone could suck all living beings below the level of gods. They would not be able to resist at all.
Zhang Ruochen needed the Star Nucleus increase the gravitational force of the Golden Sun of Destruction.
If it could be raised to the level of a complete star, who below the god level would not be afraid of his Violet Gourd?
Supreme Saint Qingsheng guessed what Zhang Ruochen was trying to do. He sneered in his heart. ‘He is richer than me, the acting head of the family, and he actually wants to take advantage of the family?’
So he waved his hand and said, “Xue Jue Family doesn’t have it. If you want a Star Nucleus, go to Forest of No Return and buy it yourself.”
Zhang Ruochen stared into Supreme Saint Qingsheng’s eyes and said thoughtfully, “I won’t take the family’s things for free. I can use treasures in exchange for them.”
Supreme Saint Qingsheng was slightly tempted. However, he couldn’t just go back on his words. “What do you mean? Do you think I’m lying to you? The Xue Jue family really doesn’t have a Star Nucleus,” Supreme Saint Qingsheng said angrily.
The Xue Jue Family was a big family. How could they not have a Star Nucleus?
Zhang Ruochen wanted to take out a few treasures and see if he could convince Supreme Saint Qingsheng to change his words.
However, before he could take them out, Supreme Saint Qingsheng waved his sleeves. The world spun around him and he flew out of the Furnace of Heaven and Earth.
If you had said earlier that you could exchange treasures, I would have gone to the Universe to refine some Star Nuclei. How hard would that be?’
Supreme Saint Qingsheng thought to himself. Then, he sighed in disappointment.
As the head of the family and a Paramount Supreme Saint, he had to keep his word. How could he take it back so easily?
After leaving, Zhang Ruochen first went to the Progenitor Pond, Xue Jue Family’s secret place. Unfortunately, he still could not see Chi Kongyue, who was recuperating inside. He had to put away his emotions and prepare to embark on the journey to the Celestial-Hunting Festival.
A five-thousand-meter-long blood-red crystal saint ship floated in the sky above the mountain range where the Xue Jue Family was located. On both sides of the saint ship, there were five huge crystal wings that looked like ten bloody clouds.
Almost all the Saint King cultivators who represented the Bloodysky clan to participate in the Celestial-Hunting Festival boarded this saint ship.
Around the Ten-winged Saint Ship, there were hundreds of saint ships of different sizes. Some were six-winged, some were eight-winged, and Supreme Saint powers were emitted from the ships.
Many of the Immortal Vampire cultivators went to the Forest of No Return to join in the fun.
This was a once-in-a-thousand-years event. It would definitely be very lively. Even if they didn’t attend the Celestial-Hunting Festival, they still had the chance to become famous in Infernal. No one wanted to miss it.
Zhang Ruochen’s heart was shaking violently when he saw such a magnificent fleet and such powerful strength.
Zhang Ruochen also saw some cultivators riding on their mounts among the hundreds of Supreme Saint Saint Ships.
Lord Xia Yu stood proudly on top of the Blue Phoenix’s head. He looked magnificent. He stared at Zhang Ruochen coldly and said, “Leader, we’ve been waiting for you for more than half a day. How long will it take for us to set off?”
“Let’s set off now.”
Zhang Ruochen used the Great Dimensional Shift and boarded the Ten-winged Saint Ship.
In the Bloodysky Clan, there were very few Supreme Saints who could use the Ten-winged Saint Ship. Most of them belonged to Supreme Saint Qingsheng. Zhang Ruochen had too many enemies in Infernal Court. It was safest to stay on Supreme Saint Qingsheng’s saint ship.
With the Ten-winged Saint Ship in the lead, the Bloodysky Clan’s Supreme Saint flew out quickly. They rushed toward the wormhole near Ancient City Skylin. They went through the wormhole and headed to the faraway Forest of No Return.
There were only 100 cultivators participating in the Celestial-Hunting Festival.
However, Zhang Ruochen could sense the aura of more than 10,000 Saint-level cultivators just from the Ten-winged Saint Ship. Almost every cultivator who attended the festival had a group of relatives, maids, and servants. It was as if they were competing in family wealth and status.
Zhang Ruochen heard three Saint King cultivators discussing not far away.
“As expected of the grandson of a god. The armor on his body is a Regal Artifact. The four handmaidens beside him are all of the Saint-level. They’re all young and beautiful.”
“Blood Saint Liu Ji is really going all out for the Celestial-Hunting Festival. He actually spent a sky-high price to buy ten Supreme Saint slaves. With ten Supreme Saint slaves carrying the sedan chair, he’ll definitely be awe-inspiring at the festival.”
..
The more Zhang Ruochen listened, the more amused he became. He muttered to himself, ‘The cultivators of Infernal Court actually have the heart to compete with each other. It’s just a festival, and they are competing with each other on every aspect.”
“Haha! Zhang Ruochen, you may not know this, but the Celestial-Hunting Festival is actually a festival where cultivators from all clans compete for fame and fortune.”
“All the major fanes, clans, families, and kingdoms want to show off their most extravagant side.”
“Humility? Restraint? Keeping it low-key? Hehe, it’s best not to do that. The more you do, the more everyone thinks that your entire clan is failing. They would think that the fane has lost its fighting spirit and become weak. The entire clan has fallen behind,” Supreme Saint Yi Xuan said as he walked over.
