In the dimly lit space.

A black serpent, over a hundred feet long, was coiled around a massive, fiery red rock.

At first glance, this large black serpent looks like a living creature of flesh and blood, but upon closer inspection, it can be seen that the serpent is entirely composed of black flames.

Its scales, whiskers, fangs... were all formed from countless black flames.

Through the gaps in the flames, one could vaguely see a figure being coiled around the large black serpent.

Boom!

Dao Sect appeared directly in the void of this dark space.

An elderly man with a fair complexion, no beard, and triangular eyes strode in.

"Master." The triangular-eyed old man bowed respectfully towards the black serpent. "The Yinglong Guard Azure Dragon Immortal of the Yinglong Guard has just left the Marquis's residence. The Marquis has sent word that tomorrow, you will lead a force to the Red Dragon Mountain Range at dawn to accompany the Yinglong Guard's Special Envoy, Zhou Hao, to wipe out the Blood God Sect."

Wow~~~~

The black flame serpent suddenly transformed into countless black flames, which were then sucked into the mouth of the figure on the fiery red rock, revealing a tall, burly, bald man dressed in black finery.

"Exterminate the Blood God Sect?" The bald man frowned. "Did the Marquis specify how many men he would be bringing?"

The Blood God Sect has survived for tens of millions of years in Antan Commandery and is ranked among the top eight powers. It is not so easy to wipe it out.

Especially since the Beishan Clan had previously taken action, but ultimately failed to defeat them, only managing to force the Blood God Sect's demons back to their lair, where they dared not venture out again.

Now that they're saying they want to wipe them out, the only option is to go to their old lair in the Blood Lake Mountains.

"They say they need the strength to surround and kill a 500,000-year-old Loose Immortal," the triangular-eyed old man said respectfully. "The Yinglong Guard will also send soldiers of similar strength."

"One of the Blood God Child is Loose Immortal has lived for nearly 500,000 years. His strength is probably even greater than last time. Coupled with the combined attack formation of the Seven Dharma Kings, they can rival a Loose Immortal of 500,000 years... We still have to go to the Blood Lake Mountains's lair." The bald man muttered to himself, "Even two teams capable of besieging Loose Immortal of 500,000 years wouldn't be enough to wipe out the Blood God Sect. And that doesn't even include the Blood God Sect's Primordial Spirit Daoist and Myriad Phenomena True Person disciples. Could it be that the Inspectorate Envoy has some other reliance?"

Since the goal is to wipe out the Blood God Sect's stronghold, it involves the extermination of the entire clan, which is not an ordinary fight or battle where intimidating the opponent into admitting defeat is sufficient.

The side facing annihilation will naturally fight back desperately, taking advantage of the terrain of their stronghold. Any attempt to resist without overwhelming superior strength is simply Devoted Heart.

The elderly man with triangular eyes waited silently to the side.

"Order the Earth Army First Division to assemble at my residence before sunrise," the bald man ordered. "Also, go and invite the three immortals, Luo Xiao, Gan Guang, Fire Dragon, and tell them that I, the Beishan Heihu, have something to ask of you."

This man was none other than ' Beishan Heihu,' the most prestigious figure in the Beishan Clan of the present day and a candidate for the next Marquis of Anchan, a truly powerful figure in Antan City.

"Yes," the triangular-eyed old man replied.

"Where is Baiwei?" Beishan Heihu asked again.

"Young master did not go out today," the triangular-eyed old man replied.

Beishan Heihu nodded slightly.

She was clearly quite satisfied that her son hadn't gone out for leisurely strolls.

"Go tell him to come with me to the Red Dragon Mountain Range first thing tomorrow morning. No need to say anything else."

"Master," the triangular-eyed old man hesitated before speaking, "We're going to wipe out a top-tier power. We'd like you, young master, to accompany us. If there's any danger..."

"Danger?" Beishan Heihu looked down at his old servant. "He is my son, Beishan Heihu's son, destined to be the direct descendant of Marquis Antan. If he can't even handle this little danger, he might as well be a spoiled brat and live Xiaoyao and ignorant life."

"Yes, Master." The triangular-eyed old man immediately left the dark space.

The Immortal of Changsheng... Zhou Hao?

Beishan Heihu's eyes were thoughtful.

With such a short period of cultivation, yet an exceptionally high level of attainment, one can imagine that their strength is also considerable.

But to dare to attack a top-tier power with a lineage spanning tens of millions of years, and to get two immortals from the Yinglong Guard to cooperate so effectively, is truly a powerful tactic and a display of great courage!

At dawn, before the sky was fully bright and the Golden Crow had only peeked out on the horizon, more than twenty people had already gathered around the tall teleportation array in the Red Dragon Mountain Range.

These people all possessed powerful auras and were clearly extraordinary; they stood in two separate groups.

Beishan Baiwei stood aside, seeing not only his father present, but also the clan's Loose Immortal Beishan Luoxiao and the two worshipping immortals, Gan Guang and Fire Dragon, as well as the leader of the Earth Army First Division, ' Diqiu '. The doubts in his heart felt like cat claws scratching at him, making him feel itchy.

"Uncle Snake," Beishan Baiwei transmitted his voice to the triangular-eyed old man standing behind his father, "Why did Father order me to come to the Red Dragon Mountain Range with him? You didn't tell me yesterday, only saying that we would know when we arrived. Now that we're here, can you tell me?"

This old man with triangular eyes appeared no different from an ordinary person, except that his aura was a bit colder. In reality, his true form was a divine beast called the "White-Faced Python," which could only take human form at the Myriad Phenomena Realm. It was his father, the Beishan Heihu, and had followed him since he was young, remaining extremely loyal.

Now a great demon at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, his strength is comparable to that of ordinary Earth Immortal and Loose Immortal.

"Young Master," the triangular-eyed old man glanced at his master before him and replied telepathically, "Today we will be going with the Yinglong Guard to wipe out the Blood God Sect. After we set off, Young Master, please remember not to leave your master and this old servant."

"Annihilate the Blood God Sect?" Beishan Baiwei's expression changed instantly, revealing shock. He exclaimed in a telepathic voice, "How could this be so sudden? That's one of the top forces in Antan Commandery, second only to our Beishan Clan and Yinglong Guard!"

"That's why they joined forces with the Yinglong Guard," the triangular-eyed old man transmitted his voice. "It's said that the newly arrived special envoy, Zhou Hao, declared his intention to destroy the Blood God Sect, Yinglong Guard went directly to the Marquis..."

Listening to the triangular-eyed old man's telepathic narration, Beishan Baiwei's shock only increased.

No wonder so many important figures, whose mere presence could shake Antan City, gathered here so early in the morning; they were there to wipe out the Blood God Sect.

The Immortal of Changsheng, the Immortal of Changsheng, he wanted to destroy the Blood God Sect, and the Beishan Clan and Yinglong Guard all responded... This is truly a powerful figure who can turn the tide at will.

Beishan Baiwei was amazed.

Thinking back to how they usually gambled and fought in Carefree Cave and Tianbao Mountain, they always considered themselves the most outstanding young noblemen of the younger generation in Antan City.

Compared to someone like the Immortal of Changsheng, who can decide the survival of a top-tier power with a lineage spanning tens of millions of years, this is truly laughable, like children playing house.

Buzz~~~

A slight ripple spread through the space.

"They've arrived."

"They've arrived."

Several Loose Immortal in the crowd had their eyes slightly moved. A young man dressed in green, with eyes as bright as stars, and whose surrounding world seemed to merge with him, appeared out of thin air and strolled towards the crowd.

Although he did not appear to be a tall and imposing figure, his every move seemed to contain terrifying power, and an invisible aura swept over them, making even the Loose Immortal in the crowd feel a suffocating sense of oppression.

It was as if this young man was a true ancient god or demon. As he approached, a strange feeling arose involuntarily within them. It was an extremely astonishing sense of threat, enough to instantly kill them.

"Such a powerful aura..." Beishan Heihu's pupils contracted.

Even someone as fierce and domineering as him, and already a powerful God-Devil Body Refining at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, felt a strange sense of danger rising in his heart when facing this Immortal of Changsheng he was meeting for the first time.

"Your Excellency, Special Envoy." The two immortals Azure Dragon and East Stone, bowed respectfully.

The dozen or so figures following behind them also bowed respectfully.

This scene immediately shocked the members of the Beishan Clan.

"Please, everyone, no need for formalities." Zhou Hao looked at the people from the An'Tan Branch.

He noticed that behind East Stone, standing at the very front of the group after Azure Dragon and East Stone, was a large black dog with three eyes and bull horns on its head. He couldn't help but take another look.

"This is the Three-Eyed Immortal, the divine beast Three-Eyed Jiao, and the leader of the First Squad of the Godslayer Guard," said the Immortal Dongshi. "This time, accompanying the Special Envoy on the expedition to wipe out the Blood God Sect, the Three-Eyed Immortal and I will lead a squad of Godslayer Guard, along with fifty million Elephant Realm inner guards and two hundred Yinglong Guard."

"Okay." Zhou Hao nodded gently.

He had long heard of the name of the Godslayer Guard; they were selected from the most powerful members of the Yinglong Inner Guard and were specifically tasked with hunting down free gods and demons.

Behind the Three-Eyed Immortal stood eight people: three Loose Immortal and five Primordial Spirit Daoist. Each of them exuded a murderous aura, clearly indicating that they were an elite force that had experienced countless battles.

At this moment, the people from the Beishan Clan also came over, led by a bald, burly man dressed in black fine clothes.

The bald man at the head of the group had eyes like deep pools. Looking at him was like seeing an ancient god or demon that had been lurking for who knows how long, exuding endless ferocity and domineering power, like an ancient beast walking towards them.

"Beishan Heihu greets Special Envoy Zhou." The bald man bowed respectfully.

Even when he was politely bowing, his eyes and his movements seemed to convey a sense of 'fierceness'.

"This is definitely a fierce warrior on the battlefield, worthy of the name Black Tiger."

Zhou Hao nodded to himself and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Black Tiger, speaking of which, your son and I are friends."

"It's Baiwei's good fortune to have a friend like Special Envoy Zhou," Beishan Heihu laughed. "This time, my Beishan Clan has three Loose Immortal and an army of five thousand cultivators who have answered the call to come. I will lead them and they will be at Special Envoy Zhou's command."

"Alright," Zhou Hao said loudly, "Now that everyone has arrived, let's set off immediately for the Blood Lake Mountains to wipe out the Blood God Sect."

Both sides' armies of immortals were housed within their respective magical treasures in their caves. Only Loose Immortal or leaders were present, which not only ensured swift action but also prevented leaks of their plans.

Only upon reaching the Blood Lake Mountains will they release their respective armies and begin combat.

The two sides met up, and the group of more than twenty people entered the teleportation tower array together.

Buzz~~~~

The teleportation tower array lit up, enveloping everyone before breaking through the void and disappearing.

They will be teleported directly to the city closest to the Blood Lake Mountains, and then they will travel together through the void.

A vast, blood-red lake, stretching for thousands of miles and hundreds of Baili in width, sits amidst a continuous mountain range.

Legend has it that this lake was formed from the blood of an ancient god or demon after its death, hence its blood-red color.

Of course, this is just a legend passed down from the ancients, and it is hard to tell whether it is true or false. However, this mountain range is named after the Blood Lake and is called the ' Blood Lake Mountains '.

The Blood Lake Mountains are indeed very strange. Any tribe or creature that dares to approach within a thousand miles of these mountains will often disappear without a trace.

People say that there are countless powerful demons in the mountains, but the real reason is that this mountain range is the lair of the Blood God Sect. It is heavily fortified with arrays and restrictions, and any cultivators from the outside world who accidentally enter will only meet their death, let alone ordinary mortals.

And right above the edge of this mountain range, which is revered as a forbidden land by countless living beings, three enormous warships were hurtling towards it, creating a shockwave.

On one of the towering and expansive Puppet Warship, soldiers clad in crimson armor stood, each with a gleaming gaze and an imposing presence. The lowest level of cultivation among them was at the Myriad Phenomena Realm.

From the third-floor viewing platform, Zhou Hao, surrounded by the Loose Immortal of the Beishan Clan and Yinglong Guard, looked down at the Blood Lake in the mountains below.

With his eyesight, he could already see palaces and caves nestled in the mountains.

Above those palaces and caves, a hazy, blood-red light shrouded them, as if they were one with the entire mountain range.

"Below lies the Blood God Sect's lair, currently protected by a barrier, preventing our warships from sailing directly in," said the Immortal Dongshi. "Please give the order, Your Excellency."

Beishan Heihu and the others also looked at Zhou Hao, wanting to see what this special envoy was relying on to directly attack the Blood God Sect Sect's lair.

"I've long heard that the Beishan Clan possesses a powerful formation called the ' Nether Dragon Heaven-Locking Formation.' Once deployed, it not only condenses the Origin Power of the array's soldiers to form a Nether Dragon, but also has the powerful ability to seal the void." Zhou Hao looked at the Beishan Heihu.

"Exactly." Beishan Heihu nodded. "This time, my five thousand soldiers can set up this formation."

"In that case, the Beishan Clan will set up the ' Nether Dragon Heaven-Locking Formation,' Yinglong Guard's inner guards will set up the ' Heavenly Net Formation,' sealing off the entire Blood Lake Mountains to ensure that no one can traverse the void or escape using Minor Teleportation Escape Talisman," Zhou Hao ordered. "The remaining immortals and the First Squad the Godslayer Guard will surround and kill the ' Blood God Child,' as well as the Yu Yuan Myriad Phenomena Purple Mansion of the Blood God Sect."

"Special Envoy Zhou," Beishan Heihu frowned, "Who will break this restriction? And who will deal with the Seven Dharma Kings of the Blood God Sect?"

The other immortals also looked at Zhou Hao.

"Naturally, I'll do it," Zhou Hao said.

Are you coming?

Are you kidding me...?

The restrictions on this stronghold, which has been cultivated by a top-tier power for tens of millions of years, would be extremely difficult to break even if nearly ten Loose Immortal joined forces, let alone the fact that they would have to deal with the Seven Dharma Kings alone afterward.

Those were seven Loose Immortal; their combined attack formation was comparable to the combat power of Loose Immortal with 500,000 years of cultivation.

"Quickly form a formation." Zhou Hao scanned the crowd. "I'll break the barrier first, then you all charge in together."

After giving his orders, Zhou Hao transformed into a streak of light and flew out of the warship, standing in mid-air at the edge of the Blood Lake Mountains.

"Form the formation!" Beishan Heihu and Immortal Dongshi gave the order one after the other upon seeing the situation.

From the other two warships, countless soldiers clad in black or red armor flew out.

Soon, two sealing formations were set up.

A giant inverted bowl seemed to form in the sky, enveloping the entire Blood Lake Mountains.

"Father, can the Immortal of Changsheng break through the restrictions on the Blood God Sect's lair?" Beishan Baiwei asked telepathically, looking at the figure in the distance.

"Just watch and see. Whether it succeeds or not, we'll find out soon enough." Beishan Heihu's eyes were unfathomable as he stared at Zhou Hao.

Even he wouldn't dare say he could break the restriction on his own.

"What exactly is it that gives you such confidence?" Beishan Heihu wondered to himself.

Sudden--

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Seven towering, round wheels crushed the void and suddenly appeared high in the sky.

The largest wheel was nearly ten thousand feet in diameter, and the smallest was two thousand feet in diameter, as if seven Chaos Stars had suddenly broken through countless spaces and descended into this world from the distant chaotic void.

A gigantic yin-yang millstone phantom appeared out of thin air behind Zhou Hao. As he threw out his fists, the yin-yang millstone phantom behind him spun, and the seven Chaos Stars- like wheels also spun.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Space itself seemed unable to withstand such terrifying crushing force, cracking open with deep ravines.

Then Zhou Hao reached out and pressed down, and the seven majestic wheels spun, cutting directly down towards the Blood Lake Mountains below.

The mountain range, stretching like Earth Dragon, seemed to have been cut by seven round blades, followed by a series of loud "bang bang bang" sounds.

The entire Blood Lake Mountains below shook violently, and countless peaks collapsed.

The mountain range, stretching for thousands of miles, and the seven key nodes where the earth's Origin Power lines condense and circulate, were immediately sliced open from the mountaintops by seven majestic circular wheels, penetrating hundreds of feet into the earth.

The original mountain range suddenly gained seven huge canyons.

Stone chips and dust flew everywhere, making the entire space seem like a chaotic mess.

As the mountain range was cut open, the key node for the circulation of the earth's Origin Power was blocked, and the hazy blood-red light shield that originally covered the Blood God Sect's lair immediately turned into countless points of light and dissipated.

"Broken, broken! The restriction is broken!" Beishan Baiwei's eyes widened, and his voice became hoarse with excitement.

Beishan Heihu, Immortal Dongshi, Luo Xiao, Three-Eyed Immortal, Fire Dragon Immortal...

The eyes of each immortal and Primordial Spirit Daoist were filled with astonishment and awe.

Is this Myriad Phenomena True Person can do?

The ordinary soldiers of the Myriad Phenomena Army on those warships were filled with terror.

That's incredible!

Even the gods and demons of ancient legends, capable of plucking stars and seizing mountains, couldn't compare to this...

"Who!? Who destroyed my mountains and broke the restrictions on my Blood God Sect's ancestral land!?"

A streak of blood-red light shot out from the mountain range, followed by countless streams of light.

"After today, the Blood God Sect will cease to exist!" Zhou Hao coldly declared, looking at the blood-robed man amidst the crimson light below. "Everyone, make your move!"

"Kill!"

I couldn't hold on any longer and didn't check carefully. I'll continue tomorrow.
