Success!

"Snort."

A cold snort rang out.

The temperature of the sky and earth plummeted, and a layer of dark gray frost, visible to the naked eye, covered the Saha Treasure Tree.

As soon as Zhou Hao's body entered the pool, he felt a tremor in his heart, as a deathly, icy aura invaded the surface of his body.

Sizzle~ Sizzle~~ Sizzle~~~

The Thunder God Robe covering his body crackled with electricity, and the mid-grade immortal-level Daoist robe he wore also emitted golden light to defend against it, but it still couldn't stop the invasion of that deathly, icy aura.

Fortunately, Zhou Hao's body-refining divine ability, the ' Five Thunder Diamond Body,' had reached the fourth level, and his divine body was comparable to a celestial-grade magic treasure, which allowed him to withstand that deathly, icy aura.

Even so, he couldn't help but shiver, feeling his movements and thoughts become somewhat sluggish.

"That's terrifying." Zhou Hao's expression changed.

The Snow Maiden before him was definitely the strongest Necro Race he had encountered since entering this Floating Island.

"Just this deathly, icy aura, like a domain, would be unbearable even for ordinary Celestial Immortals, let alone Earth Immortal and Loose Immortal, who would only be frozen to death or slaughtered." Zhou Hao clicked his tongue in amazement.

Although the beings of the Three Realms possess profound knowledge of the principles of Heaven and Earth, they are better able to survive when facing the more powerful Necro Race.

One force can overcome ten techniques!

When the power gap reaches a certain level, it will be swept away.

"Hmm?" The Snow Maiden seemed surprised that Zhou Hao had not been frozen by her icy aura. Her silver-gray robe suddenly turned into rolling gray clouds.

For a moment, the pool was shrouded in a gray haze, as if one had entered another world.

"It actually contains some of the profound mysteries of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao?" Zhou Hao exclaimed in surprise.

Ordinary Necro Race generally use simple and direct techniques, but the top-tier kings among them, who are more intelligent and have lived longer, possess some more mysterious methods.

That's all there is to it.

"Break!"

The Saha Treasure Tree, seemingly suppressed by frost and gray clouds, truly erupted at this moment under Zhou Hao's full-force encouragement.

Dazzling branches and leaves, crackling with lightning, forcefully tore open cracks in the gray world. Under Zhou Hao's control, all the cracks converged in one place.

That was the place where the deathly energy was strongest in his perception, and it was also where the Snow Maiden was located.

hiss hiss hiss~~~

The gray world collapsed, revealing that the naked Snow Maiden had gray-white scales similar to those of the Chaos Alien corpse at the bottom of the pool, only lighter in color.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The Snow Maiden's hands became incredibly large, and countless palm strikes were unleashed in an instant. Each palm strike possessed incredible power, and she actually withstood the attack of the Saha Treasure Tree head-on.

"Really resilient."

This was the first time Zhou Hao had ever seen an opponent who could withstand the full power of the Saha Treasure Tree without retreating an inch.

"This Snow Maiden is probably not far from reaching the level of Necro Race, comparable to a god," Zhou Hao thought to himself.

With such an absurdly powerful physical body, even if his divine body were comparable to a celestial-grade magic weapon, he wouldn't dare to easily engage in a head-on battle with that Snow Maiden.

"Why doesn't it dodge? Why is it just stupidly taking the hit?" Zhou Hao looked at the Snow Maiden, his gaze quickly drawn to the broken legs of the Chaos Alien at its feet.

At this moment, the broken legs of this Chaos Alien, with their flesh resembling gray glass, showed many missing gaps.

Considering the gray scales on this Snow Maiden's body that are different from other Snow Maiden,...

"It's protecting its two broken legs." Zhou Hao's eyes lit up.

Ordinary Snow Maiden increase their strength by devouring the flesh and blood of other living beings, but this Snow Maiden was unwilling to leave even after destroying her own territory, clearly indicating that the flesh and blood of this Chaos Alien were more important to her.

At this time--

Whew! Whew!

Two streaks of black mist suddenly rushed into the pool from above, transforming into two Snow Maiden clad in silver armor.

"Damn aliens."

Upon seeing Zhou Hao, the two Snow Maiden immediately roared in anger and charged at him together.

The Grey-Scaled Snow Maiden who was blocking the attack of the Saha Treasure Tree was overjoyed to see that helpers had arrived.

"This is the moment." A look of madness appeared in Zhou Hao's eyes, and his divine soul within his sea of consciousness suddenly erupted.

"Ugh~~~~"

The earth-shattering roar of the dragon instantly swept across all directions.

After the soul enters the level of consciousness, the power of the Buddhist soul-soul secret technique, "Western Heavenly Dragon Zen Chant," also increases dramatically.

Under the influence of the invisible mental wave, the three Snow Maiden trembled and showed signs of pain.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Zhou Hao immediately used the <Phantom Formless> technique to create five afterimages. Taking advantage of the moment when the three-headed Snow Maiden was momentarily distracted, three of them launched their own attacks, while the other two afterimages rushed towards the body and broken legs of the Chaos Alien.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Almost instantly, the afterimage attacking the three-headed Snow Maiden was extinguished, but Zhou Hao's remaining two figures also approached the two remains of the Chaos Alien.

"No!"

In her panic, the Grey-Scaled Snow Maiden disregarded the Saha Treasure Tree above and directly grabbed at Zhou Hao's afterimage with her claw.

It knew that the invaders all had strange methods to store treasures. If this damned alien race were to touch the flesh and blood it needed for its evolution, even if it could kill the alien race, it would never be able to get it back.

After all, they cannot refine or control the magical treasures of the Three Realms.

Pfft!

The claw fell, and the afterimage vanished.

Just as the Grey-Scaled Snow Maiden felt a sense of relief, she felt the void above her darken, and the strange giant tree crashed down.

Peng!

Even though its physical body had reached the limit of the King level, and it was only one step away from entering the Emperor level, it couldn't help but stagger back a little when it was suddenly hit by this impact.

As it retreated, the Saha Treasure Tree had already swallowed the exposed legs of the Chaos Alien and absorbed them into its trunk.

"Ah, die!" Grey-Scaled Snow Maiden screamed angrily, her sharp claws reaching straight for the Saha Treasure Tree and Zhou Hao, who was standing at the top of its canopy.

Brush!

Zhou Hao and the Saha Treasure Tree vanished into thin air, and a Yellow Jade Palace suddenly appeared. After withstanding the attack of the Grey-Scaled Snow Maiden's claws, it used the momentum to rush towards the top of the pool.

"That blood-red blade actually destroyed one of my afterimages."

Inside the Weiyang Palace, Zhou Hao stared at the Chaos Alien body shrouded in bloody light at the bottom of the pool, especially the blood-red blade. His eyes were filled with resentment.

He had just separated into five afterimages, while his true body merged with the Saha Treasure Tree.

The other four afterimages were merely used to confuse the Snow Maiden; only the one that rushed towards the Chaos Alien's body was a part of his flesh and blood clone.

He intended to take away the Chaos Alien's body and the blood-red blade together, but he didn't expect that his clone would touch the pervasive blood-red light.

Then a cold snort was heard.

"A mere Void Return Divine Demon dares to covet me! Die!"

Then a blood-red blade of light flashed past, completely annihilating the divine soul and power within the clone.

"Without a master to wield it, the blade itself possesses such power. This blood-red blade must be an extraordinary treasure. Moreover, in a place like the Earth Ruins Realm, filled with eerie and chilling energy, having remained in the Snow Maiden Clan's territory for countless years, its spirit has yet to perish..."

It should be noted that although the Necro Race cannot manipulate or use the magical artifacts of cultivators, their deathly and chilling aura is terrifying in its ability to invade and destroy magical artifacts.

Almost none of the immortal-grade magic treasures they acquired in the past six months still retain a spirit.

"It's at least a pure Yang magic treasure, or even a high-grade pure Yang or a top-grade pure Yang magic treasure," Zhou Hao judged instantly.

As for whether it might be an innate spiritual treasure, Zhou Hao didn't dare to think about it.

After all, if it were truly an innate spiritual treasure, it would be unlikely that it would have been left behind by the powerful beings who came to collect it after the great battle.

"If I had more time, even if it were a pure Yang type, I could forcibly capture it and take it away." Zhou Hao frowned as he looked at the several Snow Maiden chasing outside the Weiyang Palace.

If you want to take the magical artifact away against its will, you have to spend time forcibly capturing it.

With these three Snow Maiden around, especially with the Grey-Scaled Snow Maiden's strength, he simply wouldn't have a chance.

Even if Weiyang Palace is a top-grade celestial palace magic treasure, the three Snow Maiden working together might not be able to break it. If they could just knock Weiyang Palace away and prevent it from getting close to the bottom of the pool, it would be even easier.

Boom boom boom...

Even inside the Weiyang Palace, which was being relentlessly attacked by the Snow Maiden, Zhou Hao could feel terrifying tremors.

"Escape first, then figure out a way. No matter what, we must get this blood-red blade." Zhou Hao's Origin Power surged, frantically pouring into the core formation of the Weiyang Palace.

The ' Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Formation ' that the Loose Immortal Hongchen left in the Red Dust Immortal Mansion was also moved in by him after he refined the Weiyang Palace.

At this moment, Weiyang Palace had burst out of the pool, and the three Snow Maiden below were frantically chasing after it.

Suddenly, the Yellow Jade Palace burst forth with multicolored light.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

A dazzling array of five-colored rays of light, gathering the power of the five elements of heaven and earth, suddenly bombarded the three-headed Snow Maiden.

Countless rays of light fell upon the Snow Maiden, causing their darting figures to pause.

With the power of this ' Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Formation ', it is naturally no match for these king-level peak Necro Race whose physical bodies are close to the realm of gods.

It can be used simply to block the enemy, which is enough to buy Zhou Hao a moment.

Rumble!

The Weiyang Palace suddenly expanded to several thousand feet in size, crashing directly into the cave from the inside. That cave was the most vulnerable part of the Snow Maiden Peak, which had been hollowed out by the Snow Maiden Clan.

Zhurong Ying and Luo Hui outside saw a towering Yellow Jade Palace, thousands of feet high, burst forth from Snow Maiden Peak, and Zhou Hao's voice immediately rang in their ears.

"Got it, run!"

The Weiyang Palace rushed over at high speed and unleashed several beams of multicolored light at the Necro Race king who was blocking its way. Then, with a flash of light, Zhurong Ying, Luo Hui, and the other Godslaying Guard disappeared into thin air. Following that, the Weiyang Palace suddenly increased its speed to the maximum and rushed into the sky.

"Sharp Metal King, Heaven-Eye King, go after them!" The furious voice of the Grey-Scaled Snow Maiden echoed from the ruins of Snow Maiden Peak. "If you fail to catch those invaders, you will all die!"

The three Snow Maiden never strayed too far from the pool in their territory.

Even if they're not very clever, having just suffered a loss, they don't want to let intruders sneak in again and steal the remaining flesh and corpses.

The Sharp Metal King entire body was covered in metallic spikes, and the Heaven-Eye King, whose entire head was a single enormous eyeball, exchanged a glance. Then, a group of Necro Race kings chased after the direction in which Zhou Hao and the others had disappeared.

It is 300,000 miles away from Snow Maiden Peak.

We are now on the edge of this Floating Island, and we can see the void beyond the island.

Inside the Weiyang Palace.

"They didn't even catch up." Disappointment appeared on Zhou Hao's face.

He was also thinking that the Snow Maiden, enraged, would keep chasing him, and then he would use the same trick again, having Zhurong Ying and Luo Hui distract them, while he went back to collect the remaining Chaos Alien corpses and the blood-red magic weapon.

Previously, only a dozen or so Necro Race kings had come chasing after them, and just as Zhou Hao and the others were about to turn around and kill them...

The Necro Race kings turned and vanished in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that there were no pursuers, Zhou Hao took out the Cosmos Pearl containing the spoils of this trip and asked Zhurong Ying and Luo Hui to take stock of it.

"So much?"

Luo Hui scanned the space within the Cosmos Pearl with his divine sense. When he saw the magical treasures piled up like small mountains, the corpses of demons, and rows of icy palaces, he immediately beamed with joy.

There were hundreds of storage magic items, and piles of various magic items, numbering at least several hundred, forming a small mountain.

This one achievement alone is far greater than all the gains from the past six months combined.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~

All the magical treasures inside the Cosmos Pearl were poured out, filling the main hall of the Weiyang Palace.

"Refine!" Luo Hui's body immediately emitted rays of Origin Power, which invaded each magical treasure.

Having been invaded by the eerie, deathly aura of the Necro Race, the spirits of these magical artifacts had long since vanished, and there was not a trace of magical power remaining within them, making them incredibly easy to refine.

Even so, it took Luo Hui a full cup of tea's time to refine all the magical treasures and check their grades.

"Over two thousand six hundred Heaven-rank magic treasures, four hundred and thirty-two Immortal-rank magic treasures, and various other rare items, talismans, puppets..." Luo Hui gasped, "Worth it, worth it. The risk wasn't in vain."

Although these magical treasures were all damaged, they could only be considered ordinary in their respective grades, with the better ones being only of the middle grade.

But the quantity was just too much!

Even if they were all the most ordinary Heaven-rank magic treasures, the more than 2,600 pieces would be worth over 200 million catties of Origin Liquid. Add to that the 432 Immortal-rank magic treasures, and various other rare items...

"This harvest, if converted into Origin Liquid, would be worth at least a billion catties," Luo Hui exclaimed. "If every Floating Island had such a huge harvest, it would be incredible."

"With so many immortals from the Three Realms coming to explore, it's normal that there would be so many gains in the territory of the strongest Necro Race on a Floating Island." Zhou Hao nodded slightly.

Having witnessed the blood-red blade-like magical artifact, he was now quite calm about the gains that would have excited him before.

For the truly powerful beings in the Three Realms, the uses of Origin Liquid are actually decreasing, meaning it is more useful for those below the Heavenly Immortal level.

For some ancient celestial beings, the Origin Liquid is not very important. True immortals and Dao Ancestors absorb the Origin Power of heaven and earth, and each sip is a massive amount.

Therefore, normal Origin Liquid is as common as ordinary water to them.

This billion catties of Origin Liquid may seem like a lot, but if you were to use it to buy a top-tier magic weapon, you might not even be able to buy a single immortal-grade magic weapon.

True treasures are always acquired through barter!

Even a low-grade Pure Yang magic weapon is worth ten of the ones in my Weiyang Palace.

"I need to find a way to get that blood-red blade." Zhou Hao pondered, his mind drifting to the legs of the Chaos Alien within the Saha Treasure Tree.

"Hmm? There seems to be less flesh and blood."

I'll update again tomorrow at 2 PM, after the limited-time free period ends.
