The Tables Turn!
"Mountain Bearer!"
The roar of the Heavenly Immortal Tuoshan resounded throughout heaven and earth.
Zhou Hao, Kong Fang Fangtianxian, and the others looked towards the distant void.
Nine large seals appeared out of thin air, transforming into nine mountains that protected the Beishan Clan's warship.
These nine mountains, some steep, some low, some majestic... are as if they were real mountain peaks appearing, and around the nine peaks, there are also phantom images of other mountain peaks.
Eighty-one illusory mountain peaks appeared as if mountains were pressing down from the inside out, forcefully crushing the hundred or so figures rushing towards them.
"Form the formation!" A cold, sharp voice rang out, and then the hundred or so figures were surrounded by golden light, instantly forming a golden dragon that was ten thousand feet long.
This golden dragon had clearly defined scales, and its long whiskers fluttered in the air, exuding a powerful aura as it arrogantly charged towards the crushing phantoms of the mountains.
"Rumble~~~"
Even with the strength of the Heavenly Immortal Tuoshan, he only felt an irresistible force assail him and couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.
The nine mountains were thrown back thousands of feet, and most of the illusory images of the eighty-one surrounding peaks vanished, revealing the Beishan Clan's warship in the center.
"Don't resist." The Celestial Immortal of Heavenly Immortal Tuoshan waved his hand, directly storing the warship, along with the Marquis of Anchan and the disciples of the Beishan Clan, into his magical treasure in his cave. He then turned to look at the golden dragon that was also shaken and forced back.
"The Celestial Sacred Sect?" The Heavenly Immortal Tuoshan's face turned ugly. "You dare to provoke the Great Xia Dynasty and my Beishan Clan? Aren't you afraid of being wiped out?!"
"Hahaha..." The golden dragon's two eyes, as if they were alive, were filled with ferocity and madness. "Provoking the Great Xia Dynasty and your Beishan Clan? My Holy Sect has indeed provoked you, so what can you Mountain Bearer, do to me?"
"The one who made the move is the Celestial Sacred Sect?" Five Mad Immortal exclaimed in shock. "How do they have so many immortals?"
The incident happened so suddenly that I didn't have time to process it carefully.
At this moment, after exchanging blows, the Golden Dragon and the Heavenly Immortal Tuoshan were locked in a standoff in the air. Under the perception of everyone's divine senses, they were naturally able to clearly discern the details.
Those hundred or so figures were actually thirty-six Earth Immortal Loose Immortal and seventy-two Primordial Spirit Daoist.
"Thirty-six Earth Immortal Loose Immortal... Even if all the immortals from our Black-White Academy and the other five families were combined, we might not have that many. How could the Celestial Sacred Sect be so strong?" The Five Mad Immortal were filled with doubt.
Their Black-White Academy is the strongest force in Anchan Prefecture besides the Beishan Clan and Yinglong Guard. Given the strength that the Celestial Sacred Sect is currently displaying, even if those thirty-six Earth Immortal Loose Immortal are all at the most ordinary level, they are still far stronger than their academy.
Celestial Sacred Sect has even formed a Golden Dragon Combination Array using the numbers of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends.
Even the top-tier Heavenly Immortal Tuoshan suffered some losses after wielding nine top-grade celestial magic seals and unleashing his ultimate technique, "Mountain Bearer."
The power of the Celestial Sacred Sect is simply terrifying.
"The Celestial Sacred Sect? One of the top powers in Anchan Prefecture?" Zhou Hao was also somewhat surprised.
He served as a special inspector in the Anchan branch of Yinglong Guard, and was familiar with the major forces in Anchan Prefecture as well as some famous Loose Immortal Earth Immortal.
Of the 108 people who launched the sneak attack, most were masked, but a few did not conceal their faces and showed their true identities.
The leader was none other than the Celestial Sacred Sect, a Loose Immortal with approximately 500,000 years of cultivation according to intelligence reports.
The Celestial Sacred Sect was one of the eight top powers in Anchan Prefecture, on par with the Blood God Sect in the past.
After he destroyed the Blood God Sect, it was the only remaining sect among the top powers, and it has always been known for its mystery.
"Could the danger I sensed earlier be from this Celestial Sacred Sect?" Zhou Hao wondered.
The hundred-plus members of the Celestial Sacred Sect before him seemed powerful; even Heavenly Immortal Tuoshan might not be able to defeat them. However, Zhou Hao was absolutely confident that he could crush and slaughter them.
Besides, the other party wasn't coming for me, so I shouldn't have felt a strong sense of danger.
However, after he achieved mastery of the ' Tai Chi Great Dao ', and his divine soul had just been enhanced again, he was even more sensitive to dangers in the unseen realm, so it was impossible for him to make a mistake.
Therefore, there is only one possibility.
There must be hidden enemies, and they're probably targeting me.
"Master, just to be safe, I should put you all into the Cosmos Pearl first." Zhou Hao looked at Kong Fang, Five Mad, and the others. "I have a feeling that something is strange about this matter; it's not as simple as it seems."
At this moment, Liu Yu, Yun Yuchan, Ji Jinle, Beishan Baiwei, and Lin Xia'er had already gathered and were standing behind the two elders.
"Don't worry about me," Kong Fang said. "Master, I am a celestial being. Even if there is real danger, I can lend you a hand."
"Zhou Hao, you should put these juniors away for now. My Black-White Academy has always been in Anchan City and has a close relationship with the Beishan Clan. We can't ignore this situation," Five Mad said.
With the Five Mad Immortal ' strength, even a Celestial Immortal wouldn't be easily killed with a single move.
Unlike Liu Yu and the others, they probably couldn't even withstand the aftershocks of the battle between the Heavenly Immortal Tuoshan and the Golden Dragon Formation of the Celestial Sacred Sect.
"Alright." After a moment's thought, Zhou Hao simply put Liu Yu and the other four people into the Cosmos Pearl.
At this moment Heavenly Immortal Tuoshan and the Golden Dragon of the Celestial Sacred Sect were already engaged in a fierce battle in the sky. A huge magic array also floated above the entire city to resist the impact of the aftershocks of the battle between the two sides.
Moreover, streaks of light shot out from some mansions within the city, as well as from the Black-White Academy, converging on this side.
It was the immortals from the Beishan Clan and the Black-White Academy who came to their aid.
At the same time, a large group of masked men in black emerged from the city, the weakest of whom were at least at the Myriad Phenomena Realm, and began to wreak havoc.
"Everyone, go and quell the unrest in the city," the voice of the Heavenly Immortal Tuoshan boomed. "Fellow Daoist Zhou Hao, I beg you to lend a hand and join me in eliminating these demons of the Celestial Sacred Sect."
"Alright," Zhou Hao replied, then transmitted his voice to Kong Fang Fangtianxian, "Master, let's work together to deal with the Celestial Sacred Sect first."
"Hmm, leave it to me. You just make a show of it, mainly be wary of the unknown dangers you sense." Kong Fang Fangtianxian pointed in the distance, and a full ninety-nine blazing flying swords wreathed in golden Blazing Flame instantly streaked across the sky, heading towards the ten-thousand-foot-long golden dragon of the Celestial Sacred Sect.
As for Zhou Hao, a black-robed figure suddenly appeared beside him. With a wave of his hand, he also shot out thousands of needle lights, carrying a terrifying and annihilating intent, which transformed into a huge five-colored giant sword. In just a flash, it pierced the Golden Dragon Formation of the Celestial Sacred Sect.
It was his Second Primordial Spirit clone, the ' Asura God Clone,' who had arrived in the Changsheng Estate. He was using the 'Five Elements Five Elements Transforming Heavenly Radiance Divine Needles- grade immortal magic weapon that he had exchanged from the Thousand Treasures Hall.
Sword light, sword-shaped needles, and layers of mountain shadows.
Each attack was absolutely top-tier in power among celestial beings, let alone a combined attack.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The three attacks combined to directly shatter the golden dragon.
One by one, immortal-grade and heavenly-grade magic treasures were blasted away and scattered. Even the Earth Immortal Loose Immortal, rogue immortals, and Primordial Spirit Daoist could not maintain the magic array and collapsed as well.
"What!? Three celestial beings?" The Celestial Sacred Sect was instantly stunned. "Didn't the Holy Envoy say..."
"Tear!"
The colorful rays of light, like a ribbon, swept across the scattered Celestial Sacred Sect followers in the air.
"Ah!"
"No!"
The weakest of the Nascent Primordial Spirit Daoist, who had not yet recovered from the shock of the previous attack, were almost powerless to resist. More than twenty of them were completely destroyed in the multicolored light.
Even those thirty-six Earth Immortal Loose Immortal were in a state of chaos for quite some time before they could barely use defensive magic treasures or protective spells to resist the incredibly fast, death-dealing beam of multicolored light.
"Not bad." Zhou Hao himself was quite satisfied with the sight of nearly half of the Primordial Spirit Daoist had died in mid-air.
The power of the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light also soared after he broke through to the Earth Immortal of the Void Return realm.
Because the ' Five Elements Transforming Heavenly Radiance Divine Needles ' was still in the hands of the Second Primordial Spirit clone, he could only activate it using the Origin Power within his body and the power of the five elements such as Earth Fire and cold evil.
Even so, it possesses power comparable to that of an ordinary celestial being, and its speed is far greater than that of ordinary magic weapons. It can also counter the five elements magic weapons.
Now, it has shown remarkable power in dealing with these scattered members of the Celestial Sacred Sect.
"Tear!"
"Laugh."
"Call."
Streaks of multicolored light streaked across the sky, wantonly slaughtering the Primordial Spirit Daoist and immortals of the Celestial Sacred Sect who had lost their array formation techniques.
Kong Fang Fangtianxian and Heavenly Immortal Tuoshan also showed no mercy, slaughtering most of the Celestial Sacred Sect in the blink of an eye.
Only about twenty immortals remained, barely clinging to life despite the desperate struggle of the Celestial Sacred Sect.
"This is the consequence of provoking my Beishan Clan within Anchan City!" Heavenly Immortal Tuoshan's eyes were filled with icy coldness.
If Zhou Hao and that Celestial Immortal hadn't been present today, even with numerous immortals and cultivators in the city, they could at most have driven them back. It would have been virtually impossible for them to slaughter the Celestial Sacred Sect.
He was puzzled as to why the Celestial Sacred Sect, which had existed for tens of millions of years, would act like a madman and dare to make a move within Anchan City.
But the Heavenly Immortal Tuoshan had no intention of leaving any survivors.
No matter your reason, violating the rules means certain death!
Zhou Hao's main body and his Second Primordial Spirit avatar stood together, one unleashing the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light, and the other activating the magic weapon Heavenbeam Divine Needles.
While seemingly going all out, they were actually more focused on being wary of unknown dangers.
"Now that I have two bodies together, if any hidden enemies come after me, this is the best opportunity to strike." Zhou Hao held a talisman that looked like a freshly picked leaf in his palm. Although his gaze was fixed on the sky, his mind was constantly scanning his surroundings, ready to respond at any moment.
suddenly--
Buzz!
A man in black wearing a ghost mask appeared out of thin air, followed by eleven other figures that also appeared out of thin air around him.
Each of the men in black exuded an incredibly powerful and violent aura, as if they were ferocious demons that had just crawled out of a sea of corpses from hell.
"Great Teleportation Dao Talisman!" Kong Fang Immortal and Heavenly Immortal Tuoshan also noticed the fluctuation immediately and looked towards Zhou Hao.
At this point, the surrounding space was already sealed off, making spatial teleportation impossible. Only Pure Yang True Immortal who had comprehended the ' Heaven and Earth Great Dao and Earth' could possibly teleport there by performing the 'Great Transmission of Boundaries'.
Kong Fang Fangtianxian and Heavenly Immortal Tuoshan looked at the twelve men in black who had just appeared. Their invisible power... seemed to be no less than their own!
Especially the first man in black who appeared; he gave them a feeling of dread!
"Watch out!" the two exclaimed.
Faced with the sudden appearance of twelve celestial beings, especially since they were right next to Zhou Hao, all the two could do was offer a warning.
Kong Fang Fangtianxian, who had been on guard all along, felt her heart pounding in her chest at this moment.
Even though he knew that the enemy who could make his disciple feel so threatened was no ordinary person, the sight of twelve celestial beings still made him tremble.
"Kill." The leader of the men in black grinned and threw out a black iron spike.
The other men in black were all in the same situation; each of them individually controlled a black iron cone.
The tips of these black iron cones were all glowing with blood. A total of twelve black iron cones attacked from all directions, tearing open dark cracks in the space they passed through.
It was as if twelve blood lines ripped through the sky, covering Zhou Hao's main body and his Second Primordial Spirit clone.
"With the combined might of our twelve celestial immortals and the mid-grade innate spiritual treasure ' Godslayer Awls ' bestowed by the Lord, even a celestial being's body can be shattered." The leader of the black-clad men was filled with anticipation. "The young disciple whom the Daoist Sanqing just accepted... is doomed!"
It should be noted that the twelve celestial beings in their group separated the entire set of spiritual treasures, each activating one individually, precisely to maximize the power of this attack.
Even if Zhou Hao had a magical treasure protecting him, or had cultivated the strongest protective divine power, the ' Eight-Nine Arcane Art ', in his eyes, there was only one path: death.
To his surprise, when his eyes met Zhou Hao's, he showed no sign of panic or terror, but rather an unwavering calm.
"They've finally made their move." Zhou Hao felt as if a Shitou had been lifted from his heart, and he even had a sense of relief.
After all, the unknown dangers are the most terrifying and the most grueling.
"Smack!"
Without hesitation, Zhou Hao crushed the leaf talisman in his hand.
Buzz~~~~
A dense golden light enveloped Zhou Hao's two bodies. The twelve black iron cones pierced the light shield formed by the golden light, causing countless ripples. They were actually blocked in mid-air, paused for a moment, and did not pierce through directly.
"What?" The man in black couldn't believe it.
Although the light barrier only briefly blocked the attack before breaking through, its offensive power was also reduced by nearly half.
And it was at this moment...
Zhou Hao had transformed into Three Heads and Six Arms, six-armed being, wielding six purple-gold hammers that sent the twelve black iron cones flying one by one.
At the same time, the surrounding space was filled with rolling yellow clouds and a hazy grayness, as if we had entered another time and space.
Zhou Hao, who had been standing right in front of them, had vanished without a trace.
However, the endless killing intent emanating from the surrounding void caused the twelve black-clad celestial beings to feel a sense of unease.
All of this, though described slowly, actually happened in an instant.
The leader of the men in black felt as if Zhou Hao had set a trap to assassinate them, rather than Zhou Hao setting a trap to ambush them.
In the blink of an eye, even the roles of hunter and prey have been reversed.
"Freeze!"
The twelve black-clad celestial beings seemed to be of one mind, simultaneously casting spells.
Strange characters, shimmering with black light, appeared out of thin air around them. Then, all the characters merged together and transformed into a large black serpent with golden eyes.
The twelve black iron cones also transformed into streams of light, flying into the mouth of the black serpent and becoming its sharp fangs.
"Master, the formation these people have created is the divine beast Ba Serpent." The voice of the Cosmos Diagram artifact spirit rang in Zhou Hao's mind.
The divine beast Ba Serpent is an ancient divine beast, one of the most powerful divine beasts in the Three Realms, and a terrifying existence no less than the Chaos Gods and Demons.
The golden dragon formed by the array of immortals and primordial Primordial Spirit Daoist of the Celestial Sacred Sect was a very ordinary combined attack array and not worth mentioning.
It could be a formation that constitutes an ancient divine beast, and those are all extremely powerful formations, let alone one set up by twelve celestial beings.
"It's alright," Zhou Hao said calmly. "Qiankun, seal off the space. I don't want to let one escape."
"Don't worry, Master. With me here, even if they have Great Teleportation Dao Talisman, it won't work," the spirit of the Cosmos Diagram said confidently.
"That's good."
I've been quite busy with work these past few days, preparing for Christmas and New Year's activities.
Tomorrow will be better.
Preparations are almost complete; all that's left is to sell the goods.
Yes, I can concentrate on typing now.
