After collecting the prismatic crystal ' Necro Crystal ' left behind after the annihilation of the Necro Race King's consciousness, Zhou Hao did not retract his Law of Heaven and Earth Power. He stood in the air like a divine mountain, observing the entire battlefield situation.

Zhurong Ying broke through to the Void Return level by accumulating experience over countless years while evading human pursuit. Compared to true ancient gods and demons at the Void Return level, he lacked much refinement in the subtlety of his techniques.

However, he is the most outstanding bloodline, Zhurong Clan innate god-demon with a height of over ten thousand feet, whose combat power is beyond doubt. His body and divine power alone are enough to rival the third level of a celestial immortal.

The Necro Race king who fought against Zhurong Ying was only able to hold on until now thanks to its special ability to transform into mist, and it is not far from being completely annihilated.

On the other side, Luo Hui and five hundred Godslaying Guard formed a combined attack formation, with ten golden Yinglong, each ten thousand feet long and with five-colored wings, surrounding and killing the remaining four Necro Race kings.

"A swift and decisive victory," Zhou Hao's voice echoed among the crowd.

Their fierce battle generated fluctuations in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that could travel tens of thousands of miles away, easily attracting the attention of other powerful figures.

Although this Floating Island is very close to the immortal base of the Crimsonbright Domain, immortal teams from other forces in the Three Realms also come here to hone their skills.

There are at least a hundred forces from the Three Realms in the entire Earth Ruins Realm. Even if this Floating Island is only a relatively small island with a diameter of 800,000 miles, it is hard to guarantee that there won't be powerful forces from other forces lurking there.

The intelligence provided by the Third Prince specifically noted that battles in the Earth Ruins Realm should be avoided for too long!

If the battle drags on, the commotion will attract powerful figures from other factions, and being surrounded and attacked would be disastrous.

Compared to risking death against the Necro Race, which doesn't necessarily yield great rewards, directly killing the beings from the Three Realms who come to the Floating Island for adventure is the most direct way for many powerful forces to obtain wealth and resources.

"Brothers, let's get serious!" Luo Hui shouted. "We've all followed the Immortal of Changsheng on our adventures; we can't let Old Zhu outdo us."

"Yes, we can't let ourselves be outdone."

"Just you wait, Commander."

"Haha, let's do it."

Although they were fighting against four Necro Race kings, the five hundred Earth Immortal Loose Immortal of the Godslaying Guard still had it quite easy.

Seeing that Zhou Hao had killed the strongest Necro Race, and Zhurong Ying had also pushed his opponent to the brink of defeat, the proud and fierce soldiers of the Yinglong Guard were suddenly energized.

Boom~~~~

The ten golden Yinglong collided violently, but a gigantic Yinglong, stretching for thousands of miles, suddenly appeared in the sky.

A terrifying pressure spread out, causing the four Necro Race kings to scatter and flee in terror.

Bang!

With a simple flick of its tail, the giant Yinglong, composed of hundreds of immortal and heavenly-grade magic treasures, blasted the two Necro Race kings into two clouds of black mist. Then, its two multicolored wings, like two giant blades, sliced through the mist, instantly obliterating the two clouds of black mist and leaving two Necro Crystal in the air.

The remaining two Necro Race kings had just fled thousands of miles after turning into black mist when a giant net of lightning spread out and enveloped them.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

The lightning and the eerie energy within the black mist dissolved each other, and just as they were about to break through the giant net, the five hundred Godslaying Guard transformed into a colossal dragon that stretched for thousands of miles, and caught up with them in a single leap.

Boom! Boom! Two more Necro Crystal appeared in the air.

In the blink of an eye, all four Necro Race were annihilated.

"Done." Luo Hui and the other soldiers breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Zhurong Ying on the other side had just killed the last Necro Race king.

If he, Godslaying Guard, is no match for the ancient gods and demons they have been relentlessly hunting, then he would be utterly humiliated.

"Luo Hui, you send five squads of soldiers and Lao Zhu to sweep through the underground territory of the Necro Race. The remaining soldiers and I will keep watch around the area," Zhou Hao instructed.

His senses had already detected some subtle fluctuations in the surroundings, and he was subtly peering in this direction. However, seeing their powerful strength, he hesitated and did not dare to approach.

Even after sensing Zhou Hao's consciousness, they took the initiative to retreat and hide.

However, Zhou Hao did not dare to let his guard down.

It would be truly unfair if the peaches were picked at the very end of the harvest.

"Yes."

The five golden Yinglong and Zhurong Ying rushed directly into the underground fissures that had torn open the surface of the mountains.

Soon, the energy fluctuations of a battle emanated from deep underground.

Those were some weak Necro Race from the underground tribe, being slaughtered by Zhurong Ying and the Godslaying Guard.

Zhou Hao maintained his towering divine and demonic form, standing high in the sky, looking down below.

Five other golden Yinglong coiled around this mountain range, which stretched for thousands of miles.

In less than five breaths, Zhurong Ying and his group burst out from underground, then returned to the Bloodwave Warship and quickly left.

Just after the Bloodwave Warship disappeared into the distant sky, a group of cultivators, all of whom were demon race cultivators, appeared above the ruins of this mountain range.

"The Black Wolf Clan is finished."

Two ape demons, two bull demons, and four other great demons at the Celestial Immortal level stood in the air, looking down at the ruins below, exchanging telepathic messages with each other.

"The Black Wolf Clan's leader, the Two-Headed Wolf King, is comparable to a third-level Celestial Immortal, and the other wolf kings at the Void Return level also possess the combat power of a first or second-level Celestial Immortal."

"To wipe out the entire Black Wolf Clan so quickly, the human cultivators' team is incredibly strong."

The Necro Race come in various forms, some resembling beasts and others humanoid. To make things easier, the beings of the Three Realms have given different Necro Race races names based on their appearances. The Black Wolf Clan is the name of the Necro Race that Zhou Hao and his group wiped out.

"Didn't you see the Yinglong Combined Attack Formation? Besides the Yinglong Great World, there are only the Yinglong Guard of the Xia Clan Great World."

"Judging from the style of their warships, they should be the Godslaying Guard of the Yinglong Guard."

"Those human-looking gods and demons are even more terrifying; their consciousness can cover tens of thousands of miles around the Floating Island. We're so scared that we don't dare to get close. Even if we called all the other teams, we might not be able to take them down."

Several celestial beings and powerful demons sighed in amazement.

They have been lurking on this Floating Island for hundreds of years, and have also formed alliances with several other friendly forces from major worlds. It is common for them to jointly intercept and kill groups of cultivators.

For them, who weren't particularly strong, this was a much better chance of survival than wandering around and risking their lives against the unknown Necro Race race.

"Go search again to see if there are any treasures we missed, then return to camp and continue our ambush."

A celestial bull demon clad in golden armor and sporting a massive bull's head said in a deep voice, "Our Gale Great World and the Xia Clan Great World are not enemies. Send a message to the other teams to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"Yes. More and more cultivators will be coming to the Floating Island lately, so there won't be a shortage of targets."

The demon cultivators scouted the area briefly before leaving.

... In the hall on the second deck of the Bloodwave Warship.

Zhou Hao sat at the head of the table, with his servant Zhurong Ying standing behind him. Luo Hui and the captains of the ten teams of the Godslaying Guard were also present.

On the carpet in the center of the hall, dozens of magical treasures were piled up, along with some gleaming black iron lumps, each the size of an adult's fist.

If you look closely, you can see that the surface of the iron lump has snowflake-like scales, which is quite beautiful.

"This is our first battle since we set foot on the Floating Island. We wiped out a Necro Race and gained quite a bit," Luo Hui said to the crowd as he stood up.

"There are a total of forty-five Heaven-rank magic treasures and eight Immortal-rank magic treasures here, two of which are mid-grade and the other six are just ordinary. There are also seventy-six pieces of Heaven-rank rare item ' Blackglow Snowpattern Mystic Iron '. All the spoils combined are roughly equivalent to three mid-grade Immortal-rank magic treasures, and if converted into Origin Liquid, they would be worth about thirty million catties of Origin Liquid."

Zhou Hao nodded slightly, his expression impassive, but inwardly he sighed, "It's a pity we didn't find the remains of the Chaos Alien or the ancient Celestial Gods and True Immortals."

Not every Necro Race territory will have corpses left behind. Although the Necro Race is not particularly intelligent, they do migrate. The magical treasures they obtained this time were all left behind by cultivators who had previously ventured here and were killed by them.

As for some of the strange items, the Necro Race is quite sensitive to all kinds of energy, and it is unknown where they were collected from the Floating Island.

Their energy aura is different from that of the beings in the Three Realms, and they cannot use the magical treasures of cultivators. It is only by nature that they collect all kinds of things with energy fluctuations.

"We were protected by the Immortal of Changsheng in the Earth Ruins Realm, and forty percent of these gains will go to the Immortal of Changsheng." Luo Hui divided all the magical treasures and rare items into two portions, and put away one portion, which was worth about 18 million catties of Origin Liquid.

The distribution of the spoils obtained in the Earth Ruins Realm was decided by the Left King long before they arrived, at the Yinglong Guard headquarters.

Zhou Hao and Zhurong Ying didn't need to share what they had already obtained.

As for the spoils of the Godslaying Guard, Zhou Hao would receive 40%, and the remainder would be distributed among them.

The Necro Crystal, which can be exchanged for merit points, belong to whoever kills the Necromancer.

The ten Godslaying Guard all smiled when they saw that Commander Luo Hui had finished distributing the tasks.

If the 18 million Origin Liquid were divided equally, each person would receive more than 30,000 catties.

To have achieved so much in the first battle, and with no soldiers lost yet, is already quite remarkable.

Without Zhou Hao, even if they formed a combined attack formation comparable to a fourth-level Celestial Immortal, such an ultimate technique would consume terrifying amounts of Origin Power and could not be sustained.

How could they possibly wipe out a Necro Race and destroy their ancestral homeland?

Since it had been agreed upon beforehand, Zhou Hao did not refuse and gestured for Zhurong Ying to put away his share of the magical treasures and artifacts.

These magical treasures are all ordinary items. After all, a true cultivator with powerful treasures wouldn't be easily killed by the Necro Race on the edge of this island.

With the current strength of his second clone, he has no use for ordinary immortal-grade magic treasures; he's just saving them to exchange for Origin Liquid and immortal pills later.

"Once I've accumulated enough resources for my cultivation of the third level of the ' Xuanwu Great Divine Ability,' I'll have Old Zhu send them back," Zhou Hao thought to himself.

Different abilities lead to different perspectives.

What was originally an astronomical figure of hundreds of millions of kilograms of Origin Liquid now seems to be something that can be gathered with just a little more time.

"The Immortal of Changsheng," Luo Hui asked, "Should we continue forward, or search the surrounding area before proceeding?"

Having achieved so much on their very first day on the Floating Island, Luo Hui and the others were still somewhat unsatisfied.

"Let's find a place to settle down and set up camp first."

Zhou Hao had already planned this out.

"Next, we'll split into two groups. Ten squads of Godslaying Guard be deployed. Luo Hui, you'll lead five squads, and Lao Zhu will lead five. Then, using the camp as the center, we'll explore the surrounding area for 100,000 li."

Zhou Hao looked at everyone and said, "I will stay at the camp. I will only intervene when there are enemies that you cannot handle."

With his incredible speed, he could cover 100,000 li in just a few breaths.

In this way, venturing out separately not only maximizes the benefits but also saves exploration time.

With a wider scope of exploration, it's also easier to find worthy opponents to hone your skills against.

Finally, Singles' Day is over.

After working hard for more than ten days, I earned almost a month's salary, so it wasn't all for nothing.

My wife gave me special permission to sleep in tomorrow so I don't have to get up to take the kids to school. I'm happy.

Unfortunately, I still didn't reach the minimum word count for today, even though I really tried my best.

My updates over the past ten days or so in the first half of the month haven't been very frequent, but I'm grateful for your tolerance and understanding, which has warmed Suifeng heart.

Then, this book will be free for a limited time from 2 PM on the 14th to 2 PM on the 16th.

I won't be updating much these next few days, just one or two chapters a day to make sure I meet the minimum word count. I'll focus on figuring out the plot for now.

The Immortal Fate Assembly is about to begin, along with the apprenticeship ceremony, the acquisition of even stronger supernatural powers and secret techniques, and the unveiling of the grand curtain over the Three Realms.

The first half of the month was dragged out, and I'm not very satisfied with some of the content. Some parts were written too rigidly by myself, deviating from the original intention. I'll see how to remedy this.

Most importantly, see if we can write some drafts.

Not having any drafts is too risky and too tiring.

Forcing yourself to work blindly will only lead to a lack of ideas and a decline in quality.

Starting from the 16th, which is the second half of the month, Suifeng catch up on the updates I missed in the first half of the month.

I need to update at least three times a day, with 10,000 words each time, just to barely make up for the debt I owe.

Finally, I want to thank everyone who has continued to tip and vote over the past two weeks, I am truly grateful!
