Chapter 2125: Challenging a Supreme Saint

After bidding farewell to Ao Xinyan, Zhang Ruochen went straight to Merit Star. On the other hand, Blackie had brought the key to the World Gate to a safe place.

Merit Star was still very lively even after some time.

As the situation in the Battlefield of Merits intensified, numerous powerhouses visited Kunlun Realm every day. They all came from the macroworld and ancient civilizations of Celestial Court.

Being a long-lasting realm, Kunlun Realm contained countless opportunities. This was extremely attractive to both Infernal and Celestial Courts. It attracted the attention of all Celestial Courts and the Infernal Court’s Ten Clans.

Zhang Ruochen was in the limelight now. As soon as he arrived on Merit Star, he immediately caused a great sensation and became the focus of attention of cultivators from various realms.

There were many cultivators involved in the incident at Yin Yang Sea, hence it was impossible to hide the news. It would not take long for the news to be spread all over the world.

“Why are you all looking at Zhang Ruochen? Did he do anything incredible again?”

Some cultivators had no idea what happened previously and were confused.

“You are late to the party. Not long ago, a series of huge incidents happened in Kunlun Realm’s Yin Yang Sea. They were all related to Zhang Ruochen.”

“Infernal Court sent a powerful army of Saint Kings, led by Son of Darkness, Nether Hall’s Seven Top Killers, and the Three Emperors and Twelve Reverends of Bone Clan into Yin Yang Sea. They wanted to seize the key to the World Gate, which was closely related to the World Spirit of Kunlun Realm. Thousand-Star Civilization, Beidou Civilization, Giant Spirit civilization, Sunshine Civilization, and the Celestial Dragon Realm were somehow informed of the news. They also sent many cultivators.”

“But in the end, Infernal Court lost thousands of Saint Kings, including Son of Darkness and the Seven Reverends of Bone Clan. The Tianzi of Sunshine Civilization was also killed. Jinyang Twin Kings, along with thousands of the Saint Kings of Sunshine Civilization were also subdued.”

Immediately, some cultivators who knew the details began to explain.

After hearing this, those cultivators who hadn’t heard about the recent news were shocked. They couldn’t believe what they had just heard.

“Son of Darkness is a peerless genius nurtured by the Fane of Darkness. He’s fused with the strange power of Darkness of the Abyss of Darkness, and his power has reached the first tier below Supreme Sainthood. Zhang Ruochen may be powerful, but how can he kill Son of Darkness?”

“Jinyang Twin Kings’ power can reach the first tier below Supreme Sainthood if they join hands. Who can suppress them? If Zhang Ruochen was really this powerful, how could Sect of the Blood God have broken through?”

Some cultivators shook their heads. They didn’t believe it was true.

It wasn’t easy to rise from the second tier below Supreme Sainthood to the first tier. Zhang Ruochen did have such potential, but it should take some time.

In Celestial and Infernal Courts, all those in the first tier below Supreme Sainthood had practiced for a long time. It would take hundreds of years to accumulate experience. It couldn’t be achieved overnight.

“You have to believe it. Son of Darkness was indeed defeated by Zhang Ruochen. After that, he even broke the rules and took a King Grade Sacred Pill to break through to the Neverwither Supreme Saint level. Yet, he was swallowed by a monster which Zhang Ruochen had subdued. It was a crushing defeat.”

“Also, Sunshine Civilization was indeed defeated by Zhang Ruochen this time. Their Tianzi was killed, and JinYang Twin Kings wanted to take revenge. However, they were no match for Zhang Ruochen. He easily subdued them.”

“Zhang Ruochen has truly risen. No one can stop him. He is Kunlun Realm’s true god of war now. Since he made his return to Kunlun Realm, he has made Infernal Court suffer too many losses.”

…

Many cultivators couldn’t help but discuss about it. Some cultivators even had reverence in their eyes.

The strong were always respected. This was a rule that had never changed.

Zhang Ruochen paid no attention to those discussions. He ignored them and walked straight to Merit Exchange Hall.

Wherever he passed, cultivators made way for him. Even the cultivators from Heavenly Realm didn’t dare to frown in front of him.

“Hurry up and see how many merits Zhang Ruochen can exchange this time.”

All of a sudden, many cultivators followed Zhang Ruochen.

Upon entering Merit Exchange Hall, Zhang Ruochen immediately shifted his gaze at the Saint King Merit List to check the recent changes.

The number of people on the Saint King Merit List had increased again, but there were no significant changes in the top 10,000 rankings.

The last time he came, Zhang Ruochen had 6.6 billion merit points, ranking at 3,342. Now, his ranking has only dropped over 20 places.

With a flip of his hand, Zhang Ruochen took out a dimensional jade bottle and began to pour out the collected Saint Souls of the powerhouses of Infernal Court.

As the Saint Souls were poured out, his merit points also increased rapidly.

After all the Saint Souls were poured out, Zhang Ruochen’s merit value increased from 6.6 billion points to 11.4 billion points. His ranking also rose sharply, and he was now ranked at 786, entering the top 1,000.

Although Zhang Ruochen had only killed thousands of Infernal Court cultivators, they were all powerhouses of Saint King Realm. This was why he could receive such an astonishing amount of merit points.

Entering the top 1,000 also meant that Zhang Ruochen could exchange for a better Meritorious Armor of Flowing Light.

Although Zhang Ruochen might not be able to use the Meritorious Armor of Flowing Light with his current attainments in the Path of Dimension, he had no reason to refuse it.

Zhang Ruochen immediately took out the Meritorious Armor of Flowing Light, which was 1,000 times the
