"This is..."

Zhou Hao could clearly sense an incredibly terrifying power awakening within Li Zhan's inhuman body.

This force was so strong that even his thoughts seemed to slow down countless times.

From within his soul, a series of warnings emanated. Although ' Li Zhan ' had only entered the Nascent Soul realm, the unparalleled terrifying sense of threat emanating from him was something Zhou Hao had never encountered before.

He even had a feeling that once the power within ' Li Zhan ' was fully restored, he would probably be instantly killed.

Wow~~~

Within his sea of consciousness, the Supreme Clarity Moral Heavenly Venerable, radiating multicolored light, appeared out of thin air. The gentle light enveloped his soul, finally allowing Zhou Hao to break free from the terrifying mental shock.

Liu Yu and Liang Han beside him maintained their previous expressions, unable to move even a finger, their eyes filled with terror.

Daoist Yuanhua fared slightly better; starlight seemed to emanate from his eyes, and he too was freed from the suppression.

Seeing that Zhou Hao had recovered before her, a look of amazement flashed in her eyes.

However, this is not the time to talk about other things. Faced with such a terrifying ' Li Zhan ', even though he had already reached the peak of his primordial spirit and was capable of suppressing ordinary Earth Immortal of the Void Return from ordinary immortal sects, he was not confident.

"Zhou Hao, Chenyu Heavenly Demon is a demon of the Heavenly Immortal level. While he is still recovering his strength, I will hold him off. You take Liang Han and the other two and leave first," Daoist Yuanhua said urgently.

"Uncle-Master!" Zhou Hao said urgently, "Let's go together."

"The spatial fluctuations are currently sealed off, making void teleportation impossible. If we don't stop him, none of us can leave. Steward Senluo is also in the Abyss World; I've already crushed the Signal Talisman, and he'll be here soon," Daoist Yuanhua said repeatedly. "I have a protective treasure that can hold off even a top-tier Earth Immortal for a short time. I couldn't rescue Yushu when she was in danger; I can't let you get hurt in front of me again! Let's go!"

After a sharp shout, Daoist Yuanhua transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards Li Zhan. Then, two streaks of sword light flew out, transforming into two sword light dragons that swept across the sky.

Seeing this, Zhou Hao flipped his hand and put Liu Yu and Liang Han into his ' One Breath Bag ' just like Wan Fei.

The One Breath Bag contained several meters of space, and although it was cramped with three people inside, they didn't care at the moment.

He stored the One Breath Bag into his storage magic treasure. The Greenwood Flying Boat was Liu Yu's treasure, but he couldn't activate it, so he simply abandoned it and released the Golden-Scaled Boat, which transformed into a golden light and fled into the distance.

Sealing spatial fluctuations is also a profound mystery of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao. Even if a Celestial Immortal uses it, there is a limit to the range of the seal.

Once Zhou Hao can leave the sealed area, he can use the Minor Teleportation Escape Talisman to travel tens of thousands of miles in an instant. It is estimated that he will only need to teleport upwards two or three times to return to the ground.

"Trying to escape?" Li Zhan smiled contemptuously, and several flying swords and spears, flashing with blood-red flames, caught up with Zhou Hao in a flash.

As for Daoist Yuanhua's sword light dragon, Li Zhan simply waved his hand.

The blood flames behind him immediately split into two strands, forming more than ten ' Bloodflame Divine Thunder ' in the air. Not only were the sword light dragons shattered by the divine thunders, but the heaven-rank flying sword magic treasures within were also tainted by the blood light. Their spiritual light dimmed, and they fell crookedly to the ground.

"Before me, none of you are celestial beings, but mere ants. You should obediently merge into my blood flames and become my sustenance for my return to the celestial realm." Li Zhan laughed loudly, watching the remaining seven or eight ' Bloodflame Divine Thunder ' burst forth with endless blood light, about to engulf Daoist Yuanhua.

Sudden--

Call!

Three blue orbs appeared out of thin air and collided with each other in mid-air.

Wow~~~~

As if a vast ocean had suddenly appeared in the underground world, the essence of the endless sea water transformed into countless water droplets the size of buckets, directly engulfing the blood flames and blood light in the air, and surging towards Li Zhan.

"The Gui Water Divine Thunder of the Immortal Yanhua?"

Daoist Yuanhua was taken aback, and then he saw Zhou Hao's figure appear.

"Why are you back again?" Daoist Yuanhua asked angrily.

"Li Zhan's control over magical artifacts with his divine sense is profound; I can't escape with my escape technique." Zhou Hao shook his head. "Rather than being defeated by him separately, it's better to fight alongside my martial uncle."

Just as Zhou Hao was about to escape in the Golden-Scaled Boat, Li Zhan used his divine sense to control the flying swords and spears that surrounded him.

Those were all Earth-Grade Dharma Treasure belonging to Huang Tian, Shen Xia, and two inner disciples. Under the control of Li Zhan, or rather, the Chenyu Heavenly Demon, they were incredibly profound. Even Zhou Hao's previously invincible Taiji Fist couldn't break free from them for a while.

Zhou Hao immediately understood that although Chenyu Heavenly Demon had not yet recovered, his Dao realm was definitely at the Celestial Immortal level, far surpassing his own and Daoist Yuanhua's.

With his magical artifact hindering his escape, his escape was slow. Even if he managed to get far away, the Chenyu Heavenly Demon could easily reappear by teleporting through the void. Escaping the spatial confinement area would be extremely difficult.

If Daoist Yuanhua is killed or captured, then it will be even more difficult for him to survive. It is better to fight to the death and fight Daoist Yuanhua together.

One must be cautious in all matters, but decisiveness is also necessary in times of crisis.

As Zhou Hao watched the blood flames behind Li Zhan, who had been swallowed by the essence of the endless seawater transformed from the Gui Water Divine Thunder, shrink by a little over half, a thought stirred within him.

"Uncle-Master, that demon's realm is far more profound than ours. We can't compete with him in terms of subtle techniques. We should rely on strength and overwhelming force to destroy the layer of blood flame essence he has devoured and collected."

He was also gambling at this point, betting that the Chenyu Heavenly Demon's rebirth through another body would inevitably be subject to some kind of constraint.

Even the merging of the souls of two beings is not a simple matter; otherwise, there wouldn't be countless souls struggling within the blood flames behind him.

"Very well! I have been an immortal for hundreds of years, and have experienced countless battles, but I am still not as insightful as you are," Daoist Yuanhua laughed. "Today, let us fight this Netherworld Demon together!"

Call!

A massive city gate archway, radiating golden light, appeared out of thin air before Daoist Yuanhua.

He leaped onto the city wall, his Origin Power surging, and from the open city gate beneath his feet, countless flying knives and flames spewed out, blasting towards Li Zhan.

Zhou Hao also raised his hand and released the Dragon-Suppressing Stake, which crashed down like a giant pillar supporting the sky, plunging into the essence of the endless sea water, like a stabilizing needle, suppressing Li Zhan.

"Ah! I want you all dead!" roared the Chenyu Heavenly Demon.

The essence of flesh and blood of living beings that he had previously collected was wasted when Zhou Hao's three Gui Water Divine Thunder blew each other out.

Those three Gui Water Divine Thunder, in terms of sheer power, would be so potent that even Primordial Spirit Daoist might not be able to harm them.

It was a gift that Immortal Yanhua entrusted Yu Tiandu to give to Zhou Hao as a greeting. It was something he casually conjured, not his true trump card.

Even so, it still possesses the greatest advantage of the ' Gui Water Divine Thunder ' of the Immortal Yanhua, which is that once it is used, it will continue to grow and increase, allowing Zhou Hao to escape from danger. It can be considered a life-saving treasure.

Just as Zhou Hao had said, what the Chenyu Heavenly Demon feared most was an attack from a treasure containing a massive amount of Origin Power.

It turns out that before he escaped into this realm, his demonic body had already been shattered by the Dharma protector of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Jialan, leaving only a remnant demonic thought to enter the passage between the two realms.

After arriving in the Profound Heaven Realm, he found that the powerful demons and yakshas in the Abyss World were either so strong that they were almost like primordial spirits, and he dared not possess the weak ones.

Luckily, he encountered Li Zhan, who had come to the underground world to temper himself. Sensing the intense anger in Li Zhan's heart, he attached himself to him.

The Seven Sages of Bewildering Heaven cultivated the demonic arts of the Yellow Springs Sect, which were the causes of seven kinds of malevolent forces in the world. The Demon of Chenyu Heavenly Demon, who was most fond of anger in people's hearts, constantly bewitched and induced Li Zhan to merge with his soul after entering his body in order to make up for the lack of demonic thoughts.

Now that he had finally managed to suppress Li Zhan's true spirit and let his demonic thoughts take over, he was about to use the life force of the plundered blood flames to recover his strength and completely erase Li Zhan's true spirit. However, Zhou Hao's interruption almost caused him to be devoured by the remnants of Li Zhan's true spirit.

The battle between souls is the most dangerous; one wrong move and you will suffer a backlash.

Seeing Zhou Hao and Daoist Yuanhua using two more magic weapons to attack him, Chenyu Heavenly Demon barely managed to suppress the remaining true spirit of Li Zhan's counterattack. He then manipulated the remaining blood flames behind him to transform into two Blood Lotus, blocking the flying knives and raging fire emitted by the Dragon-Suppressing Stake and Daoist Yuanhua's city gate archway magic weapon.

"Not only will I devour all your flesh and blood, but I will also refine your souls with the Nine Nether Blood Fire for ten thousand years!" The Chenyu Heavenly Demon raised his hand to imprison the living souls within the blood flames and cast a secret demonic spell.

The strongest souls of Huang Tian, Shen Xia, and several others, after merging with the souls of other living beings, swelled up like inflating balloons, and their bodies seemed to regain their physical form, even exhibiting a bronze-like metallic luster.

It is the secret technique of the Yellow Springs Sect, ' Vajra Manifestation God-Devil,' that can temporarily transform a ghost's body into a physical form for battle.

"Kill them!" Seeing that the secret technique had succeeded, the Chenyu Heavenly Demon shouted and was about to release the several demonic beings with physical forms.

Just then--

"Hold head high!"

With tortoise-shell patterns appearing on his skin and eyes resembling snake eyes, Zhou Hao suddenly appeared before the Chenyu Heavenly Demon, his presence concealed by the overwhelming power emanating from his two magical treasures.

With a light wave of his four palms, a round, elastic force shattered the tangible gods and demons that Huang Tian, Shen Xia, and the others had transformed into. The two arms facing the Chenyu Heavenly Demon held two Ou Huang Mace, which, imbued with terrifying power, cleaved down upon him.

"Hmph, I, a dignified Heavenly Demon, would be a laughing stock if I were to be struck by a mere Myriad Phenomena God Demon." The Chenyu Heavenly Demon curled his lips, his eyes filled with contempt.

Buzz~~~

The power of spatial confinement increased sharply, and at this moment, Zhou Hao's muscles could no longer make any changes.

"Since you're so eager to die, then I'll devour you first." Chenyu Heavenly Demon licked his lips and gave a sinister smile.

But who knew--

"Break!!" Zhou Hao's body flashed with azure light, and a surge of power erupted from the Ou Huang Mace, seemingly shattering the confined space with a 'crack'.

Boom~~~~

Li Zhan's body, which was as tall as a two-story building, was cleaved in two from above his head by the Ou Huang Mace. The terrifying force contained within the mace shredded his two halves into pieces.

"The power of the Blue Flower Water Pearl has indeed not disappointed me." A look of joy appeared in Zhou Hao's eyes.

Just now, he activated the Blue Flower Water Pearl within his Purple Mansion space without hesitation.

The immense power within the Blue Flower Water Pearl allowed him to unleash a terrifying attack comparable to that of a god or demon at the Yuan Shen realm.

"Watch out!" The familiar voice rang out again.

Zhou Hao was startled, and saw a dark shadow suddenly leap out from Li Zhan's shattered body and pounce on him.

Bang!

Zhou Hao, whose body was still protected by the residual power of the Blue Flower Water Pearl, felt a jolt in his chest and was knocked back several steps. The black shadow screamed and flew away into the distant void.

Wow~~~

A talisman appeared out of thin air, bursting forth with endless golden light that enveloped the dark shadow in the sky.

"I am a celestial demon from the underworld. Even the celestial guardians of Buddhism, the Jialan, cannot destroy me. You, a mere celestial being from a small world sect, think you can kill me with a single talisman?"

The dark figure materialized in the golden light, and it bore the exact same appearance as Li Zhan. It was clearly the primordial spirit of the Chenyu Heavenly Demon, who had merged with Li Zhan's soul.

"You wretched creature! Causing chaos in the Underworld wasn't enough, you dare to trespass into the Profound Heaven Realm and harm my disciples! Don't think that even if it were the Yellow Springs True Demon, let alone you, the One -Chenyu Heavenly Demon, he could come but not leave!"

A magnificent voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and a faint, illusory figure appeared on the talisman, extending a palm to press down on the Chenyu Heavenly Demon shrouded in golden light.

"Ah! You're Chun..."

Snap!

The Chenyu Heavenly Demon was struck by the giant golden palm, and then everything vanished into thin air.

Brush!

The burly Asura ' Steward Senluo ' appeared beside Zhou Hao and beckoned him with a gesture.

The talisman that had just annihilated the Chenyu Heavenly Demon floated back lightly and was respectfully received by Steward Senluo with both hands.

Zhou Hao, watching from the side, clearly saw that the talisman looked like an ordinary leaf, lacking its previous overwhelming power.

"Truly terrifying, a single leaf killed a Heavenly Demon's Nascent Soul. It must be a powerhouse of the Pure Yang True Immortal level."

Zhou Hao had long suspected that there was Pure Yang True Immortal in the sect.

Witnessing such incredible power firsthand still fills Zhou Hao with excitement.

Steward Senluo waved his hand to collect the souls of Huang Tian and the others, then looked at Zhou Hao with a smile, "To be able to destroy the body of a Heavenly Demon, even though it can't unleash the full power of a Heavenly Demon at its peak, is something even a Nascent Primordial Spirit Daoist might not be able to do. Zhou Hao, well done."

"You know even Primordial Spirit Daoist might not be able to do that, yet you still made me risk going forward to take action," Zhou Hao said with a sneer. "You've already arrived, but instead of making a move yourself, you sent me a telepathic message to go forward."

If he hadn't unleashed the energy of the Blue Flower Water Pearl, he would have been subdued by the Chenyu Heavenly Demon.

It turned out that Steward Senluo had already arrived earlier, but secretly sent a telepathic message to Zhou Hao to take advantage of the situation to get close and destroy the body of the Chenyu Heavenly Demon, so that he could then subdue the demon.

"I possess the talisman of Patriarch Mu Yang. Within this Profound Heaven Realm, even a true celestial being descending would be enough to save you. What are you afraid of?" Steward Senluo laughed. "Besides, Xuanwu..."

As they were talking, Steward Senluo suddenly paused slightly.

Zhou Hao looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Xuanwu?

What Xuanwu? Are you referring to the great supernatural power I used?

Just as he was about to ask...

Then, Steward Senluo changed the subject and continued, "Besides, don't you want merit points? If I were to take action and kill the Heavenly Demon, it would have nothing to do with you."

Upon hearing the word "merit points," Zhou Hao's eyes lit up. "This is a Heavenly Demon! How many merit points will the sect reward us with?"

"We'll talk about it when we get back to the sect," Steward Senluo laughed. "Anyway, it's more than you killing a Nascent Soul Yaksha."

Zhou Hao nodded.

If that's true, then my use of that drop of Blue Flower Water Pearl was not in vain.

As for the two words ' Xuanwu ' that Steward Senluo had mentioned earlier, Zhou Hao didn't ask about them.

Since Steward Senluo didn't say it aloud, I figured I wouldn't get any answers by asking again.
