Sensing the hostile atmosphere between Zhang Ruochen and Saint King Xing Yun, the others were falling between two stools. They could not side with one without offending the other.
Saint King Tianyue frowned, knowing that Saint King Xing Yun held grudges against Zhang Ruochen. Even so, Saint King Xing Yun was going too far with his actions.
She knew how hot-tempered Saint King Xing Yun was. If she spoke now, she would probably upset him.
Faced with Saint King Xing Yun’s intimidation, Zhang Ruochen walked into the atrium slowly, his gaze suddenly appearing stern.
He did not want to cause trouble, but he was not afraid of causing one.
Since Saint King Xing Yun was so determined to humiliate him, he did not have to pull any punches anymore.
“Subdue me? How dare you, Saint King Xing Yun. It seems that you have no respect for Yueshen. You are mad!” shouted Zhang Ruochen.
“If you are trying to use Yueshen to threaten me, save it. You underestimate what I can do. I am going to let you know that in this world, only the strongest deserve respect.” Saint King Xing Yun snorted as he stood up suddenly.
He certainly knew Zhang Ruochen’s track record in the Kunlun Realm, but he had no regard for it. He believed that Zhang Ruochen was not as powerful as people painted him to be. During the three battles in the Eastern Region Holy City, the Sword Vault Palace in the Central Region, and Xianji Mountain in the Northern Region, Zhang Ruochen had summoned external help.
However, at Lake Phoenix, Zhang Ruochen had no external force that he could summon. As long as he used a little trick, he could easily subdue Zhang Ruochen.
He did not really want to kill Zhang Ruochen, but he had no qualms about teaching Zhang Ruochen a lesson.
“Saint King Xing Yun—”
“Xing Yun, you—”
Both Mu Lingxi and Saint King Tianyue tried to stop Saint King Xing Yun at the same time.
Zhang Ruochen held up his hand to interrupt them. “You don’t have to get involved. Besides, I would like to see what he can do to me.”
While Zhang Ruochen spoke, he secretly communicated with Mu Lingxi via telepathy. “Don’t worry, he can’t do anything about me.”
Mu Lingxi was relieved upon hearing that, believing that Zhang Ruochen would never do anything that he was not confident about.
“You have guts, Zhang Ruochen. If you can take three moves from me, I will leave you be.” Saint King Xing Yu looked at Zhang Ruochen with condescension.
“Let’s see what you’ve got,” said Zhang Ruochen nonchalantly.
“Let’s see if you’re still so cocky after this. Take my first move!”
Saint King Xing Yun made his move, unleashing a palm strike.
Over 700,000 Precept of Palms formed. The powerful energy formed into a sacred furnace of flames as it struck Zhang Ruochen.
The sacred furnace of flame was extremely solid, with countless precept patterns intertwined on it. It seemed like an actual sacred furnace with unparalleled Saint power.
“Intermediate-level Tongxuan Saint Technique: Immolation of Heaven Palm Strike!” Buji exclaimed.
Due to invasion and plunder, there were only a few Intermediate-level Tongxuan Saint Techniques left in the Guanghan Realm. But each of these Saint techniques was extremely powerful. When practiced to the highest attainment, they were no less powerful than higher-order Saint techniques.
Immolation of Heaven Palm Strike was the most famous Intermediate-level Tongxuan Saint technique in the Guanghan Realm, and few people could master it.
No one had expected Saint King Xing Yun to perform his most powerful move. It seemed that he was really not pulling any punches.
Zhang Ruochen did not dodge, and his eyes became even more fearsome. The air in front of him distorted at once as he reached out and grabbed it, deflecting the sacred furnace and redirecting it back to Saint King Xing Yun.
After comprehending the Precepts of Dimension in the Secret Tome of Space and Time, Zhang Ruochen’s attainment had improved tremendously. He could easily perform various dimensional techniques with incredible power now.
“Dimensional technique!”
Saint King Xing Yun squinted. He performed a palm strike, shattering the sacred furnace of flames into pieces.
“Not bad. Take that—second move!”
Saint King Xing Yun flew out of the atrium. This next move was overly destructive; he did not want to destroy the atrium.
The next moment, Saint King Xing Yun reappeared on Lake Phoenix, exuding a powerful aura, his energy steadily climbing.
Lake Phoenix was extremely mysterious. Even Supreme Saints could not cause any damage to it. Nothing would prevent Saint King Xing Yun from going all out now.
As he performed a Saint technique, the Precepts and Power of Heaven and Earth within a 3,000-mile radius surged violently as they gathered toward Saint King Xing Yun.
A massive amount of flames emerged from Saint King Xing Yun’s body to form into a huge fire phoenix. As that happened, a massive amount of Precepts of Heaven and Earth continuously infused into the fire phoenix’s body, making it more solid. It began to exude more terrifying energy.
He had only been testing the waters earlier and had used little of his strength. Now the gloves were off for real.
“What is going on? Where does this powerful energy come from?”
For a while, the Saints of the Guanghan Realm were alarmed as they fixed their eyes on Lake Phoenix.

“Isn’t that Saint King Xing Yun? Who is he fighting against?”
“My gosh! Is this the power of a Path’s Anterior cultivator? He is mobilizing the Precepts and Power of Heaven and Earth from such a wide area. He is almost a god!”
“That seems to be His Honorable Divine Envoy. Why he and Saint Xing Yun fighting?”
“I heard that His Honorable Divine Envoy is incredibly powerful, unbeatable in the entire Kunlun Realm. Saint King Xing Yu must be having a friendly match with him.”
All the saints of the Guanghan Realm were talking about what happened, but not sure what was going on.
The noise on the lake had also alerted the Mu clan members, who poured out from the manor to take a glimpse of what was going on from afar.
“It looks like Saint King Xing Yun and Zhang Ruochen are fighting!” Mu Qingtian frowned.
There was a flash in Yun Zheng’s eyes when he heard that. “I have long heard that the Wu Clan of the Guanghan Realm and Zhang Ruochen have some bad blood between them. Since Saint King Xing Yun has struck, Zhang Ruochen is going to learn things the hard way. Let Saint King Xing Yun teach him a lesson.”
Since his own patriarch could not deal with Zhang Ruochen, he could only pin his hopes on Saint King Xing Yun, eager to see Zhang Ruochen’s embarrassing gaffe.
On the shore of Lake Phoenix, Mu Lingxi and Saint King Tianyue’s eyes were affixed on Zhang Ruochen and Saint King Xing Yun. None of them had expected things would come to such a pass. It was too late to stop them.
“Saint King Xing Yun is dead serious this time. He has mobilized the power of heaven and earth. As powerful as the Divine Envoy is, his cultivation base is only at the Greater Precept World. How would he withstand the attack?” Buji looked worried.
“The Divine Envoy is a little reckless this time. I hope Saint King Xing Yun shows restraint and wouldn’t hurt the Divine Envoy,” said Wen Shusheng.
Su Qingling looked at Saint King Tianyue anxiously. “Would you please stop them, Lady?”
“It’s too late. Now no one can separate the two of them. But you don’t have to worry too much. The Divine Envoy may have a way to deal with Xing Yun.” Saint King Tianyue shook his head as she whispered.
In fact, he was eager to see how powerful Zhang Ruochen was. The fact that he could dominate several battles, he was not depending on external ability entirely.
Mu Lingxi said nothing, just watching Zhang Ruochen intently. She always had confidence in Zhang Ruochen.
Above the lake, Zhang Ruochen and Saint King Xing Yun stood opposite each other, and Zhang Ruochen was holding the Ancient Abyssal Blade in his hand.
“He mobilized one-third of the Precepts of Heaven and Earth within a 3,000-mile radius. His strength barely sits in the middle of Path’s Anterior,” Zhang Ruochen whispered calmly.
He immediately gathered his Saint Qi, hundreds of thousands of Sword Path Precepts, and over ten thousand Precepts of Time into the Ancient Abyssal Blade.
The Violet Godstone inlaid on the hilt of the sword was glowing in lavender as he mobilized the Precepts of Heaven and Earth in the surroundings.
At this stage, Zhang Ruochen had three ways to mobilize the Precepts of Heaven and Earth: one was to perform a higher-order Saint technique, two was to trigger the Violet Godstone, and three was to use a Supreme Artifact.
He could not help it. He had not even formed a Precept Domain, he could not summon the Precepts of Heaven and Earth directly.
“Huh? He hasn’t used the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Palm Strike, nor has he used any Supreme Artifact. Why can he still summon the Precepts of Heaven and Earth? And at this scale?”
It surprised Saint King Xing Yu when he sensed that Zhang Ruochen was summoning the Precepts of Heaven and Earth.
Even Saint King Tianyue was surprised. “The Divine Envoy is also summoning the Precepts of Heaven and Earth. While Xing Yun has mobilized one-third of them within a radius of 3,000 miles, the Divine Envoy has only a 2,000-mile range, yet he can summon half of the Precepts of Heaven and Earth!”
It was not that the wider the range, the more powerful it was in summoning the Precepts of Heaven and Earth. The key was in how many Precepts of Heaven and Earth were mobilized.
If a person could only summon the Precepts of Heaven and Earth within a 2,000-mile radius but could mobilize 100% of them, it would definitely be more powerful than mobilizing one-third or a quarter of the Precepts of Heaven and Earth within a 3,000-mile radius.
Hearing this, everyone could not help but be shocked. They had not even formed Precept Domain, unable to perceive the movement of Precepts of Heaven and Earth. But they believed what the Saint King of Tianyue said; she would not be wrong.
Mu Lingxi finally smiled as she was now more confident in Zhang Ruochen.
“Take that—my second move!”
Saint King Xing Yun wasted no time performing a palm strike.
A huge fire phoenix flew out, flapping its wings of flame, and setting off a terrible heat wave, almost boiling the lake below.
Zhang Ruochen did not bother to dodge but raised the Ancient Abyssal Blade to meet the fire phoenix head-on.
As he swung the Ancient Abyssal Blade, Marks of Time appeared and was imprinted in the surrounding space.
With his Path of Time improved with time, Zhang Ruochen could easily capture the Marks of Time and prevent them from disappearing for a period of time.
At the same time, the improvement of his Path of Dimension allowed him to summon more Precepts of Heaven and Earth from a larger range when activating the Violet Godstone.
Once he further comprehended the Precepts of Time and Dimension in the Secret Tome of Space and Time, these two abilities would be further enhanced.
Dozens of Marks of Time emerged, pulled by the Ancient Abyssal Blade to form into a strange Null Time, which seemed to be in absolute stillness.
Zhang Ruochen the Ancient Abyssal Blade and thrust through the body of the fire phoenix in an instant.
The next moment, the fire phoenix’s body split apart into two halves as two fireballs before dissipating quickly.
“It’s my turn now.”
As Zhang Ruochen whispered, the soul of the Sword Will formed, carrying the Ancient Abyssal Blade to attack the Saint King Xing Yun.
His Sword Soul had just completed its transformation and become the Earth Sword Soul. He was just in time to test it on Saint King Xing Yun to see how powerful it really was.
