Making Plans (Revised)

"Roar~~~"

The twelve black-clad celestial beings, aided by a magic array, unleashed a deafening roar amidst the endless yellow clouds, transforming the ancient divine beast, the Ba Serpent.

Then one could see the Ba Serpent's gaping maw, as if it could swallow the heavens and the earth.

An overwhelming suction force acted on Zhou Hao Zhou Hao, pulling him involuntarily towards the giant mouth of the Ba Serpent.

The space within the mouth of the Ba Serpent seemed to be distorted, with twelve sharp teeth formed from innate spiritual treasures and long cones waiting there.

They were just waiting for Zhou Hao to be sucked in before tearing him to shreds.

"Whoosh!"

Under the expectant gaze of the leader of the black-clad celestial beings, Zhou Hao seemed to have given up resisting and was getting closer and closer to the mouth of the Ba Serpent.

"I refuse to believe you still have that kind of protective talisman."

The leader of the black-clad celestial beings knew exactly how terrifying the attack they had launched earlier was; those below the level of True Immortal or Celestial God would almost certainly die.

To withstand such an attack for almost a breath, even a Pure Yang True Immortal would have to be extremely skilled in the art of talismans, and would have to expend a great deal of effort to refine such a protective talisman. Its value is no less than that of a top-grade immortal magic weapon, or even a Pure Yang magic weapon.

certainly.

Zhou Hao was a disciple of the Daoist Sanqing, so the leader of the black-clad celestial beings was naturally not surprised that Zhou Hao would have such a life-saving item.

Moreover, before taking action, they had already considered various possibilities and made some assessments of Zhou Hao's strength.

Come on, come on!

"Even if you can withstand the first wave of the Godslayer Awls's attack, you can't resist the suction force of the Ba Serpent Divine Beast."

"Once swallowed by the Ba Serpent, you're doomed."

Not long ago, a half-step Pure Yang cultivator was unable to resist and was swallowed up by the Ba Serpent Formation they formed, subsequently dying.

In their view, Zhou Hao was no exception.

But just then...

Wow~~~

Zhou Hao, however, directly unleashed the Law of Heaven and Earth Power in mid-air, causing his body to suddenly grow larger.

Although it is still small compared to the earth-shaking Ba Serpent, it is at least much larger than a single head of Ba Serpent.

"Childish!"

"Did you think that becoming bigger would prevent you from being devoured by the Ba Serpent?"

"This is the innate divine power of the Ba Serpent divine beast."

"Even the ancient divine elephants, towering like mountains, were devoured by the Ba Serpent, let alone the human race."

The group of men in black inside the Ba Serpent Formation couldn't help but sneer.

The legend of the ' Ba Serpent ' has been circulating for countless years in the Three Realms and countless worlds. Does Zhou Hao not even know this?

Zhou Hao certainly knew.

He not only knew that the giant mouth of the Ba Serpent was the strongest part of the entire combined attack formation, but he also knew that right below this giant mouth, where the Ba Serpent's head and body connected, was the central hub of the entire formation and the most important place where magical power condensed and operated.

"Zhou Hao, as long as we can destroy this place, the Ba Serpent Formation will be broken." Ao Xiaobao's confident voice echoed in Zhou Hao's mind.

Previously, Ao Xiaobao had followed Zhou Hao back to Yueying Peak from the Earth Ruins Realm and had been cultivating in the Red Dust Immortal Mansion ever since.

Because the main body had to participate in the Immortal Fate Assembly and could not bring spirit beasts, and Ao Xiaobao was about to break through, Zhou Hao did not wake him up when he left.

Now, another year has passed, and Ao Xiaobao has also broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, and his mathematical calculation and deduction skills are even stronger than before.

At this moment, hidden within the skin of his Second Primordial Spirit clone, he guided Zhou Hao through telepathic communication on how to defeat the Ba Serpent.

"Alright." The six Purple Gold Hammer in Zhou Hao's hands instantly merged back into one, which was caught by the two arms in front of him and then suddenly grew larger under his control.

"Boom~~~~"

After growing larger, the Purple Gold Hammer resembled a giant divine peak. Zhou Hao swung it up, slicing through the air, and using the suction force of the Ba Serpent, he slammed it heavily down into the area below its mouth.

"Break!" Zhou Hao roared, his arms gripping the Purple Gold Hammer, veins bulging.

The most powerful and fierce move in Taiji Fist Art, "Fantian Seal," was unleashed by him using a top-grade spiritual treasure Purple Gold Hammer.

Its overwhelming power was probably not much different from that of the real Fantian Seal.

At the top of the Purple Gold Hammer, there was a faint black and white aura swirling around, which was the Taiji Power of the first level of ' Moonlight Realm '.

Divine power, Origin Power, Taiji Power, the Purple Gold Hammer... This move, ' Fantian Seal,' can be considered the strongest strike Zhou Hao has ever unleashed since he began cultivating.

"Boom!"

The entire Ba Serpent looked as if its neck had been snapped.

The gaping maw, radiating immense suction power, collapsed first, sending black cones flying backward. Then, the entire Ba Serpent a mythical snake) disintegrated, revealing the twelve black-clad celestial beings.

"Not good."

"Careful."

The twelve celestial beings in black were all startled.

"You're kidding, right?"

"This level of strength is far from even reaching the half-step Pure Yang realm!"

Their group's combined formation was broken in an instant, something that had never happened in countless previous assassination attempts.

"Boss, what do we do?"

These black-clad celestial beings all looked at their leader.

Under normal circumstances, even if someone is at the half-step Pure Yang Ba Serpent Formation, even if they can withstand the magical attacks from the Ba Serpent's giant mouth, they will only end up being swallowed by the Ba Serpent.

Once inside the Ba Serpent body, the enemy will be unable to find the twelve of them. Instead, they can use the formation to their advantage and attack at will.

Because their attacks all suddenly emerge from the 'flesh walls' and 'bones' of the Ba Serpent, at very close range, they are difficult to defend against.

Therefore, the enemy is usually crushed to death very quickly!

But now, the magic array was broken before it even took effect.

Even the strongest methods were useless; Zhou Hao's unexpected strength terrified these black-clad celestial beings.

"He was only taken away for a year, and before that he was just Myriad Phenomena True Person... Even if he was a disciple of the Daoist Sanqing, he shouldn't be this strong!" The leader in black couldn't believe it.

Back then, after being accepted as a disciple by the Daoist Sanqing, Lü Dongbin also received guidance from several powerful figures. It was only after he had been in the Void Return realm for over a hundred years that he reached a strength close to that of a half-step Pure Yang cultivator.

Zhou Hao's current strength is truly terrifying.

Before the black-clad leader could even say what to do, Zhou Hao, having destroyed the Ba Serpent Formation with a single strike, pressed his advantage relentlessly.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...

Twelve black afterimages appeared directly in front of the twelve black-clad celestial beings, each wielding a blood-red blade.

It was Zhou Hao's Second Primordial Spirit clone, wielding the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade, using its supernatural power to Phantom Formless, that attacked the twelve black-clad celestial immortals.

This ' Phantom Formless ' divine ability was originally created by Yu Yuan, the original owner of the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade. After Zhou Hao's realm improved and he comprehended the innate restrictions in the Cosmos Diagram, he elevated the Heaven and Earth Great Dao to the ' Great Dao Domain ' level. This movement technique was finally able to achieve its highest level of effectiveness.

Each of the twelve afterimages possesses combat power comparable to the original.

Although it only has the power of a single strike, when unleashed, it is no less than a twelve-fold increase in offensive power.

Even if the twelve afterimages are now dealing with twelve black-clad celestial beings separately, it's as if Zhou Hao has twelve clones attacking at the same time.

With the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade, which had just transformed into a superior-grade innate spiritual treasure, added to the power, the twelve black-clad celestial immortals felt an endless burst of blood-red light before their eyes and quickly urged the black spiritual treasure cones they controlled to defend themselves.

Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!

The five weakest black-clad celestials were slightly slower in their movements. The blade of the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade struck the five celestials, forcibly tearing open the magical robes they wore.

As the blade flashed across their celestial bodies, the crimson blade light swept past their golden cores and primordial spirits...

Before the horrified and shocked eyes of the remaining seven black-clad celestial beings, five of them completely collapsed and were killed on the spot.

Brush!

After unleashing his attack, Zhou Hao, dressed in black, once again disappeared into the surrounding yellow clouds.

"No wonder Yu Yuan was known as the number one assassin below the ancient true gods back then," Zhou Hao thought excitedly.

These assassins attacked him, but he dealt with them using assassin techniques, thus giving them a taste of their own medicine.

"Let's test the power of the Godfall Workshop again... My master helped me refine this set of top-grade immortal-level suppression magic treasures, and I haven't tested its power yet. Today is a good day to try it out." Zhou Hao's mind stirred.

Boom~~~~

Suddenly, five towering golden archways appeared in the sky, and amidst the starlight, countless flying forks and golden blades of Windfire, thunder, and lightning erupted, completely enveloping the seven black-clad celestial beings.

Now that the Cosmos Diagram seals the heavens and earth, suppressing all spatial fluctuations, the situation is entirely under his control. After a year, his strength has greatly improved, and he has also acquired a new innate spiritual treasure. However, Zhou Hao is using these black-clad celestial immortals to test his treasures and practice his moves.

In a hidden space in the South Sea within the Great Xia World.

Inside the magnificent hall, numerous water mirrors floated in mid-air, displaying scenes from various parts of the Great Xia World.

These are all battle scenes detected by several pure Yang magic treasures, which are then teleported and gathered here before being presented in the water mirror.

Seated on three thrones are three Pure Yang True Immortal: the Blood Lotus True Immortal, the woman in green robes, and the man in fiery red Daoist robes.

There were hundreds of water mirrors in mid-air, most of which displayed different images and shifted between different locations, clearly indicating that it was a magical artifact for probing pure yang and covering several different areas.

There are also more than ten water mirrors, yet the scene remains unchanged.

Some scenes are set within cities, others in the wilderness, and still others are clearly the strongholds of sects... Although the locations within these scenes differ, without exception, these water mirrors are all engaged in fierce battles.

In each of the water mirrors, there were either black-clad or white-clad ghosts, attacking and surrounding their opponents.

Some have already succeeded, while others are still fighting for their lives.

The three Pure Yang True Immortal all had their eyes on one of the water mirrors.

The water mirror showed Zhou Hao wielding the Purple Lightning Hammer, directly shattering the Ba Serpent Grand Formation. His Second Primordial Spirit clone then unleashed its power, instantly killing five Celestial Immortals. Following this, he activated five magical archway gates, and a spiritual hammer to slaughter the remaining black-clad Celestial Immortals...

Zhou Hao's cold face, sharp and chilling aura, and endless stream of magical treasures and artifacts, even the increasingly dazzling black and white energy that appeared with each move, all made them tremble.

"In just one year, Zhou Hao's Taiji Power seems to be not far from the second level. Could it be that he has comprehended the Tai Chi Great Dao?"

"Such a prodigy, no wonder the Daoist Sanqing value him so highly."

"Look at the innate spiritual treasures he uses. Even among true immortals and gods, few possess even a few innate spiritual treasures, let alone one that is extraordinary in every single one."

Even though they had already guessed that Zhou Hao would definitely be bestowed with spiritual treasures and talismans after becoming a disciple of the Daoist Sanqing,

Whether it was the Purple Gold Hammer, the Cosmos Diagram, or even the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade, although they couldn't immediately identify what kind of spiritual treasures they were, their sheer power made it clear to the three True Immortals that each of them was at least a high-grade innate spiritual treasure.

It should be noted that they were all commanders of their respective regions, yet they were only granted a high-grade innate spiritual treasure for protection.

Zhou Hao, however, possessed three items.

"I think Blood Lotus is right," the man in the fiery red Daoist robe suddenly said. "Zhou Hao has only just become a disciple, and he's already this powerful. What will he be like when he transcends tribulation and becomes a celestial god?"

"Now that we've taken action, we must go all the way and kill Zhou Hao at all costs."

"Otherwise, if he gets more time to grow stronger, it will be even harder to kill him."

"If we can kill him, we'll not only achieve great merit, but we'll also obtain these innate spiritual treasures." The man in the fiery red Daoist robe looked at the woman in the green robe. "Anyway, we're only here as avatars; even if we fail and perish, it won't matter."

The man in the fiery red Daoist robe was in charge of the puppet-making department within the organization, and he rarely spoke up when the three of them discussed matters.

However, when he saw that Zhou Hao possessed not only three innate spiritual treasures but also a set of rare magical artifacts for his archway and gate tower, he became somewhat envious and jealous, and surprisingly spoke up directly.

"Green Fox, what do you say?" Blood Lotus True Immortal also looked at the woman in green robes, "After Zhou Hao slaughters the entire Heaven Six Squad, it will be the most relaxing time."

"Moreover, today we launched simultaneous attacks from hundreds of locations, creating chaos in major cities and towns throughout the Great Xia World, and more than ten celestial immortals from various county-level tribes were assassinated... Even Xia Mang's attention will be diverted at this moment, making it the perfect opportunity to deal with Zhou Hao!"

"If the three of us attack together, even if each of us uses an avatar, our combined power will be about 80-90% of our true form. Zhou Hao hasn't even passed the Heavenly God Tribulation yet; he's only at the Void Return level. No matter how monstrous he is, we could destroy his true form and avatars within two or three moves."

"If we miss this opportunity, Zhou Hao will undoubtedly be more cautious after the assassination attempt. Besides, he went to the Heavenly Realm afterwards, which is the territory of the Dao Sect sect, unlike the Great Xia World. Even if Zhou Hao still has a distress Signal Talisman on him, it will be too late for those True Immortals and Dao Sect Gods of the Daoist sect to come to his rescue from the Heavenly Realm..."

As Blood Lotus True Immortal spoke, he secretly observed the expression on the woman in the green robe.

The three of them had different roles and were considered to be of the same rank, but when it came to important matters, the woman in the green robe was the one who made the final decision.

"Zhou Hao ..." The woman in the green robe stared at the young man slaughtering wantonly in the water mirror, and nodded, "I will bring the Green Eyebrow Needle. You two should also bring out some of your trump cards. That way, even if Xia Mang and the Dao Sect are paying attention, they won't have time to save him."

"Alright!" The Blood Lotus True Immortal and the man in the fiery red robe exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.

"I'll use the Great Teleportation technique in a bit," said the Blood Lotus True Immortal.

Of the three, he had truly grasped the Heaven and Earth Great Dao.
