Chapter 1435: Harvest
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Six Arms Absolute Saint stopped Red Tiger Absolute Saint and smiled again. “Since you saved us, we must compensate you. Red Saint, take your two bottles out and hand it to this friend.”
Six Arms Absolute Saint was clearly very generous. He was the first to take out his bottles and toss them at Zhang Ruochen.
Red Tiger Absolute Saint hesitated slightly. Then he also took out his two bottles and tossed them over.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t even look at the four bottles on the ground. “Where are the others?” he asked.
Shock flashed past Six Arms Absolute Saint’s eyes. Feigning ignorance, he asked in confusion, “What do you mean? Didn’t we already give our bottles to you?”
“Hundreds of Saints from Hell Blade Field attacked the wormhole together,” Zhang Ruochen said. “This battle is so dangerous. How could they carry their bottles with them? Didn’t they keep it with you two?”
Six Arms Absolute Saint knew that he couldn’t hide it from Zhang Ruochen anymore, so he stopped pretending. His eyes turning harsh, he said, “I must admit that you are indeed very strong. You are like a pinnacle Absolute Saint. However, if I ignite my saintly blood and use a taboo spell, you might not be able to take it either. How about you just take our four bottles and treat it as us owing you? We can shake hands and come to peace. How about that?”
“Lord,” Red Tiger Absolute Saint said, “you must want to go through the wormhole toward Whale River Territory. You can’t fight off the Luosha army guarding the wormhole by yourself. How about we work together? We might be able to make it.”
“You two want to use me to fight off the Luosha army?” Zhang Ruochen asked. “Stop dreaming. Fight if you want. Whether you want to ignite your blood or deactivate your saintly source, I’ll accompany you until the end.”
The negotiation failed.
“Since you want to die, then I’ll go easy on you.”
Murderous intent flared in Six Arms Absolute Saint’s eyes. Uttering a strange language, all his blood started burning. The aura radiating from him grew stronger and stronger.
Unless forced into a dead end, no Saint would fight by igniting their blood on the merits battlefield. After all, the side effects were great. They would become extremely weak afterward too.
A weak Saint couldn’t survive on the merits battlefield for long.
But now, Six Arms Absolute Saint had to take the risk.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes lowered. He formed a sword print with two fingers and uttered, “Wu Sword.”
The surrounding time stopped in that instant.
Whoosh!
When the flow of time reverted to normal, Zhang Ruochen’s fingers had already passed through Six Arms Absolute Saint’s forehead, killing him.
“That is…the power of time…”
Red Tiger Absolute Saint’s expression changed dramatically. He immediately transformed into a flaming tiger and rushed out, escaping into the distance. He was extremely frightened. He never would’ve guessed that he would run into a time cultivator.
Run! Run! Run!
“Zi Sword.”
Time stopped in that instant again.
It was just that instant when Zhang Ruochen used another finger sword to kill Red Tiger Absolute Saint.
I didn’t want to use the power of space and time. Why did you have to force me? Zhang Ruochen shook his head softly. He felt around Red Tiger Absolute Saint’s body. He found a storage bag. Opening it, he saw that there were actually more than 1,000 bottles.
Then he found another bag on Six Arms Absolute Saint. There were also more than 1,000 bottles in it.
How can they have so many? It must not be only from the Hell Blade Field Saints. It’s possible that they also killed Saints of other worlds and stole their bottles.
Zhang Ruochen used his Spiritual Power to check and calculate.
There were blood and soul remnants from more than 60 million Luosha in the 2,000-some bottles.
With Zhang Ruochen’s own abilities, he wouldn’t be able to kill 60 million Luosha cultivators even in a year.
He smiled. No wonder the Hell Blade Field and Purple Mansion Field would kill other participating Saints. The speed of earning merits this way is much faster than killing Luosha directly.
Of course, most of the blood and souls in the 2,000-some bottles were from Luosha cultivators under the marquis level. Only a few were from marquises.
The higher the cultivation, the more merits they could be exchanged for.
Sometimes, even the blood from 100,000 Luosha cultivators couldn’t be compared to the blood from one marquis.
There are around 1,800 drops of blood and 900 soul remnants from marquises.
The saint soul body might be able to collect a lot of blood and souls. This way, I’ve killed around 3,000 marquises already.
This was a big harvest with great rewards.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen sensed something amiss. He picked up one of the strangely shaped bottles and opened the cap.
It actually wasn’t blood or soul remnants in the bottle. Instead, a heavy fragrance wafted out.
“Ning True Saint Dew.”
Joy colored Zhang Ruochen’s face.
That bottle had been found in Red Tiger Absolute Saint’s bag. There were more than 600 drops of Ning True Saint Dew. This was an unexpected find.
Not only could Ning True Saint Dew help Heaven Pass cultivators form their Rules of Saintly Way, they were extreme treasures for True Saints and Absolute Saints. It could increase their cultivation speed.
Zhang Ruochen continued searching. He also found a bottle of Ning True Saint Dew in Six Arms Absolute Saint’s bag. There were actually more than 800 drops.
Great. With more than 1,000 drops of Ning True Saint Dew, my cultivation will definitely improve further.
Getting an idea, Zhang Ruochen sent an order to his saint soul body, telling him not to only collect the blood and saint souls of the Luosha marquises, but also collect treasures from Hell Blade Field Saints. He might be able to find even more Ning True Saint Dew.
The entire Shatuo Seven Fields, Yushan Field, Yuanze Insect Field, Ten Thousand Cities Field etc… All of the large worlds paying attention to the merits battlefield were in an uproar.
There was no helping it. Zhang Ruochen’s performance in that battle had been too powerful. He’d killed almost 200 Luosha marquises by himself. The entire battalion had almost been wiped out.
More importantly, he was still young.
In the Guanghan Field, all the streets were filled with celebration by all the cultivators. “I saw him in the Saint Army of Guanghan Field. He’s our top genius.”
“I received news from a Half-Saint senior from the Heaven World. He’s the priest of Guanghan Field.”
“The priest is undefeatable. Long live the priest.”
“With two powerful figures like the priest and Heir, Guanghan Field will definitely get a good ranking in the Saints Merits Battle. I hope we can get fourth place.”
“The Great Devil Ten Square Field, Purple Mansion Field and Eight Ministry Field of the Shatuo Seven Fields are too strong. There’s no way we can defeat them, but we can try for fourth place.”
Zhang Ruochen’s powerful performance excited all the cultivators and civilians of Guanghan Field. So many youths now viewed him as their idol. So many girls worshipped him now.
1But the cultivators of Kunlun’s Field were feeling complicated. Some were sighing, some were insulting Zhang Ruochen, and others were still excited and cheering for Zhang Ruochen even though he couldn’t hear it at all.
The cultivators of Hell Blade Field were furious.
“He actually killed Absolute Saints Six Arms and Red Tiger. He stole our merits too. Damn him.”
“Kill him. We must kill him.”
…
The important figures from the Heaven World who were watching the battle weren’t only impressed by Zhang Ruochen’s performance. They were more confused.
“How did he escape from the Nine Nine to One Formation in an instant?”
“Six Arms Absolute Saint already ignited his saintly blood. His abilities shot up. How could he stand in place without moving and let himself get killed?”
The important figures could see the battle footage, but they weren’t at the battlefield personally. They couldn’t feel the ripples of space and time.
This was also why they were so confused.
A territory of Yushan Field in the Heaven World…
A Supreme Saint’s split body appeared. He was more than 2,000 feet tall. “Immediately send people to the Shatuo Seven Fields and Guanghan Field,” he ordered the four Saint Kings in the palace. “Investigate this person’s identity and background.”
In the saint territory under Yuanze Insect Field, an insect Supreme Saint with gold patterns came out of the ground. It transformed into an old woman in golden clothing.
This Supreme Saint also discovered that Zhang Ruochen was a top genius. She wanted to bring him in, so she issued the same order as the Supreme Saint from the Yushan Field.
Zhang Ruochen naturally knew that the earlier battle would definitely appear in the battlefield footage. Many cultivators would probably notice him.
But he didn’t seem to care. The outside world couldn’t get involved with the Saints Merits Battle anyway.
After a while, the saint soul body returned to Zhang Ruochen’s side and handed him a storage bag. Then the saint soul body melted back into him.
He opened the bag and checked the contents.
“Two hundred and forty-five drops of blood and 79 soul remnants from marquises. As expected, the Luosha also paid greatly to kill the Hell Blade Field Saints.”
He continued to count.
The storage bag actually contained large amounts of pills and runes. There were also some strange items—all from the Hell Blade Field Saints. More than half were healing medicines of the Divine Pill grade.
In addition, he’d really found some Ning True Saint Dew. There were more than 2,000 drops.
“A great harvest. Truly, a great harvest. Adding the Ning True Saint Dew from Six Arms and Red Tiger, I now have close to 4,000 drops. It’s enough for me to reach the True Saint Realm. Worth it. For the 4,000 drops of Ning True Saint Dew, this battle was worth it.”
Zhang Ruochen put all the treasures away and wiped his smile away. Looking in the direction of the wormhole, he murmured to himself, “The Luosha didn’t send an army to attack me. Are they waiting for me to go over to them?”
He didn’t hurry over to attack the Luosha guarding the wormhole. Instead, he refined the Ning True Saint Dew while waiting for the Abyss Ancient Sword to refine the weapons on the battleground.
He was also waiting for Holy Carnivorous Flower.
More than 1,000 Saints had died on this battleground. He wasn’t afraid that there wasn’t enough fertilizer. He only feared that the flower couldn’t take it all.
