Shaking the Three Realms!
"Styx, you have repeatedly bullied my disciple. Do you think I'm not here?"
Hao Ran's voice echoed, and the falling jade ruyi struck the blood sword, instantly shattering it and restoring it to a tall and ferocious Blood God Child.
"Yuanshi, are you going to stop me?" The Blood God Child's voice grew even shriller.
"You dare to bully my disciples in front of me, and you still have the nerve to ask me questions?" A sneer rang out from the jade ruyi, and then the three oval tourmalines and turquoise stones inlaid on the handle, waist and tail of the ruyi each emitted a sliver of light, which reflected down.
The Blood God Child was stunned for a moment, then the jade ruyi struck him on the head, and the Blood God Child, who was said to be fearless of magic weapons and spells, fell down and disappeared before he could even lie flat.
"Yuanshi, you have deceived me like this. Aren't you afraid that we will turn to the Wind Demon?" The Patriarch Styx's will roared in the air.
"If you want to be traitors? Then the next time I see you, it won't be the Ruyi, but the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation!" A white mist shot out from the jade Ruyi, sweeping across the surrounding void like a galaxy, and the gray and blood-red color that had previously obscured the sky and earth instantly disappeared.
The world that had previously been frozen in time and space has now returned to normal. When everyone looked up at the sky, only the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi hung there, illuminating the surrounding tens of thousands of miles.
"Not good! Run!" The White Wondrous Demoness was the first to realize what was happening. She spat out a mouthful of blood and used the Asura secret technique ' Bloodshadow Divine Light Escape Art '. Her whole body transformed into a Bloodshadow and disappeared in a flash.
Not far from her, the Netherworld Ghost Mother dared not delay either, and also transformed into a wisp of black smoke, 'whoosh' disappearing into the ground.
Taibai Venus, hidden inside the Starlight Treasure Pagoda, raised his hand, hesitated slightly, and ultimately did not make a move, lowering it again.
The two of them escaped outside, but the three Asura Gods had rushed towards Zhou Hao for close combat, getting too close to Zhou Hao.
Seeing the once-arrogant Blood God Child annihilated, and the Three Pure Ones ' ' Three Treasures Jade Ruyi ' hanging in the air, the leader of the Dao Sect, almost scared out of his wits.
"Run! Run! Run!" The three of them were in a panic and turned around to use their escape techniques to flee.
"Too late." Zhou Hao sneered, and a vast, sweeping wave of hammer shadows swept over.
At such close range, escape techniques could not match the speed of weapons. In an instant, Zhou Hao used the "Yin-Yang Wheel" technique, with its attack resembling a giant millstone, to entangle the three Asura Gods.
The weakest of them was swept across by the hammer shadows one after another. The Taiji Power ravaged and destroyed his divine power and soul, and his divine body quickly disintegrated and turned to ashes.
"Spare us, spare us!" The remaining two celestial beings were even more terrified, desperately resisting the attacks of the Purple Gold Hammer while repeatedly begging for mercy.
But Zhou Hao had almost lost his life just now, so he didn't care about any of that now.
"Boom~~~"
With a flick of his sleeve, he used the Cosmos Diagram to trap the two celestial gods. He then unleashed a furious barrage of the Five Elements Hammer, the most continuous and relentless Taiji Fist Art, using the Purple Gold Hammer in his hand. In just a few breaths, he annihilated the two Asura celestial gods, killing them with his bare souls.
"That's too powerful."
"This Emperor Ziwei has not yet undergone the Heavenly God Tribulation."
"Didn't you see that even when the Patriarch Styx used his divine sense to attack through an avatar, it was blocked by the Purple Star Emperor?"
"A true hero!"
The Four Great Celestial Masters were about to step forward to help, but they were stunned when they saw Zhou Hao single-handedly and forcefully kill three celestial gods.
"The Four Great Celestial Masters!" Zhou Hao stood with his hammer in hand, his eyes blazing with murderous intent after slaying four celestial beings. "You will lead your disciples to annihilate all the demons from the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, leaving no one alive!"
"Yes."
"Yes, sir!"
The Four Great Celestial Masters instinctively bowed respectfully and accepted the order.
It wasn't until they straightened up that they realized what had happened.
Even when facing the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Venerable, we ourselves have never felt such sincere admiration.
However, this thought only lasted for a moment.
After all, Zhou Hao is one of the four emperors of the Heavenly Court, second only to the Jade Emperor. Although he is not a direct emperor under us Heavenly Masters, it is not unreasonable for him to issue orders.
"Kill!" The four old Daoists turned and flew towards the remnants of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace. The Divine Firmament Sect disciples and Mysterious Heaven Sect disciples in the Falling Thunder Ravine below also flew out of the palace.
The White Wondrous Demoness and the Hundred Desires Celestial God brought nearly 70,000 to 80,000 Asura demon soldiers with them. Now that their leaders are either dead or have fled, they have no will to fight anymore. They all wish they had more legs and wings so they could escape.
Zhou Hao's heavenly guards also set up a net-like formation, fighting alongside the Divine Firmament Sect disciples.
The entire world was engulfed in a bloody battle.
Countless roars echoed, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.
After giving orders to his men to deal with the remnants of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, Zhou Hao faced the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in the air and respectfully bowed, saying, "Thank you for saving me, Master."
"Hahaha, to be able to withstand a move from the Styx, not bad, not bad." A middle-aged man with black hair, wearing a moon-white Daoist robe and a long beard, appeared on the jade ruyi.
"Changsheng, those guys from the Asura Church are vengeful. This time you attacked their stronghold in the Eastern Victory Divine Continent. There's no guarantee that no powerful figure will come after you. I'll leave this Ruyi with you for now. If any powerful figure causes trouble or you are in mortal danger, your master will handle it."
"Yes." Zhou Hao looked at the black-haired middle-aged man, who was different from the Supreme Pure Dao Venerable- bearded old man he had seen before, and knew that this was another Dao Ancestor incarnation of his master, ' Primordial Heavenly Venerable '.
"This jade ruyi is a rare treasure of chaos. You cannot refine it now, so just carry it with you. After you have dealt with the matters of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, send the ruyi to the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain. I also have something to discuss with you." After giving this instruction, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable's figure disappeared from the ruyi. Then, the jade ruyi withdrew its precious light and fell down, where it was caught by Zhou Hao's hands.
My master asked me to go to the Jade Void Palace to see him?
It must be the mysterious power that I used before, which the Patriarch Styx called 'mental power'.
Zhou Hao pondered to himself, looking at the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in his hand.
This ruyi is made entirely of white jade, and feels warm and smooth to the touch. The handle is shaped like a three-lobed cloud, and the three oval tourmalines and turquoise stones inlaid on the handle, waist, and tail are also different from ordinary rare treasures, possessing a very subtle and vast fluctuation.
"With my master's jade ruyi in hand, I have no worries. This time, I will take advantage of the situation to take down the Ten Thousand Demon Palace and the Coiling Dragon Ridge Mountains where Wushan Gorge is located. This can be considered the first fire I, the Heavenly Emperor, have started," Zhou Hao thought to himself.
The Vast Wilderness Mountain Range where we are now are a large mountain range in the north-central part of the Eastern Victory Divine Continent. Further north, near the North Sea, lies the Coiling Dragon Ridge Mountains.
Because of the Witch Mountain Gorge Devil Palace, the Coiling Dragon Ridge Mountains have attracted countless rogue cultivators who practice evil and demonic arts over the years. At least a hundred evil and demonic Dao Sect have attached themselves to the Ten Thousand Demon Palace and occupied the area.
Because the Ten Thousand Demon Palace has the background of the Asura Demon Cult, the White Wondrous Demoness and the Hundred Desires Celestial God are both True Immortals, and it also has several Asura Gods and the Netherworld Ghost Mother as its subordinates. In addition, it is affiliated with the Dao Sect common evil sects, which are numerous and powerful...
Ordinary Dao Sect immortals are truly not to be trifled with, and those who can are often wary, which is why the Ten Thousand Demon Palace has continued to this day.
This time, Zhou Hao personally killed the Hundred Desires Celestial God and three Asura Gods. Putting aside the feud with the Asura Demon Cult Sect, the Ten Thousand Demon Palace alone could not be spared.
"It's perfect that I can use the Coiling Dragon Ridge Mountains that I've conquered as my territory in the Heavenly Realm. Otherwise, if I only have the title of Heavenly Emperor but no money or food, who would be willing to follow me?" Zhou Hao made up his mind, put away the Ruyi, and ignored the remnants of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace and the disciples of the Divine Firmament Sect who were still fighting below. He took a step and returned to the Eight Views Imperial Carriage.
Wearing the Cosmos Diagram, his perception of the surrounding space was almost no less than that of Pure Yang True Immortal who had fully comprehended and mastered the Heaven and Earth Great Dao.
He sensed a powerful surge of magical energy in the western sky and immediately knew that it was the Four North Pole Saint True Lords, summoned by Taibai Venus before his rescue, leading their personal troops.
really.
He had just sat down in the Eight Views Imperial Carriage when he saw large swaths of continuous clouds flying in from the western horizon.
A vast and mighty army, including golden-armored divine generals riding celestial horses and groups of heavenly soldiers aboard warships... a total of 400,000 troops were densely arrayed in the air, and this sheer force was enough to make even the true immortals and gods tremble with fear.
Whew! Whew! Whew! Whew!
Four figures flew out from the army formation, the first being a god with Three Heads and Six Arms arms, whose six faces were all wrathful.
He appeared with red hair and dressed in black, wearing a black crown. His six arms held six divine weapons: an axe, a bow and arrow, a sword, a bell, a halberd, and a rope. He arrived before and behind the Eight Views Imperial Carriage and loudly proclaimed, "The Four Generals of the North Pole have come by imperial decree."
"Marshal Tianpeng, Bian Zhuang."
"Deputy Marshal Tianyou, ' Lingyou '."
"The Left General of the Imperial Guard, ' Black Baleful Intent '."
"The Right General of the Holy Army, ' Ying Wu '".
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
The four celestial beings bowed in unison.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" The 400,000-strong army in the distance also knelt down in unison.
A deafening roar erupted, making the heavens and earth seem to crumble.
"Rise."
At this moment, Zhou Hao sat upright on the Eight Views Imperial Carriage, looking at the 400,000-strong army before him. The weakest among them were Earth Immortal Loose Immortal and Loose Immortals, while there were more than 20,000 Void Return Divine Demon and Heavenly Immortals.
Such a grand spectacle of ten thousand immortals paying homage filled Zhou Hao with pride and boundless ambition.
"Now, in the Coiling Dragon Ridge Mountains, a group of demons from the Witch Mountain Gorge Devil Palace have dared to attack the disciples of the Heavenly Court Master, a righteous god of the Heavenly Court, showing contempt for the majesty of my Heavenly Court. I have received the edict from the Three Pure Ones, and have been appointed as the Great Emperor of the Purple Void in the North Pole of the Central Heaven, in charge of the Heavenly Court's affairs of war. Therefore, I have no choice but to intervene."
Zhou Hao's voice reverberated throughout the battlefield amidst the tremors of the heavens and earth's energy.
"The Four North Pole Saint True Lords." Zhou Hao looked at the four celestial beings before the imperial carriage.
"Your subordinates are here!" Led by Marshal Tianpeng ' Bian Zhuang Celestial God ', the four heavenly gods all bowed and responded.
"I hereby order you four to lead your personal guards to pacify the Coiling Dragon Ridge Mountains. All forces that have colluded with the demons of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace shall be annihilated, and all the immortals and gods under their command shall be captured and imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison to await trial."
"Period..."
Anyone who dares to resist, kill!
Anyone who dares to obstruct us, kill them!
"Anyone who dares to disobey orders will be killed!"
The majestic voice resounded as Zhou Hao uttered three consecutive "Kill!"s, echoing in the ears of every heavenly soldier and general, making their blood boil and their eyes turn red.
"I want this battle to be known throughout the Three Realms..." Zhou Hao rose, drew the ' Celestial Emperor Sword ' hanging in front of the Eight Views Imperial Carriage, raised the sword's edge straight to the sky, and declared, "Those who defy the majesty of my Heavenly Court, though far away, shall be punished!"
"No matter how far they are, they will be punished!"
"No matter how far they are, they will be punished!"
"No matter how far they are, they will be punished!"
In an instant, the 400,000-strong army roared in unison, their thunderous shouts so powerful that even those millions of miles away could hear their frenzied cries, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing.
The four celestial beings, including Marshal Tianpeng, looked at each other and felt their heroic spirit, which had been dormant for millions of years, being rekindled.
Originally, it was only because he was secretly observing and saw Zhou Hao kill four Heavenly Gods of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace alone, and the Three Pure Ones descended the Jade Ruyi, that he became unusually respectful.
But now, I find myself involuntarily infected by this fervent atmosphere.
The Heavenly Court's authority waned, and its power waned over time.
Given the precedents of previous Heavenly Emperors who were either attacked by the rulers of the lower realms or killed by the overlords of the Three Realms, the current Jade Emperor is inevitably hesitant and overly cautious in his actions.
Although they are called Heavenly Court Generals, they each have powerful masters behind them and different origins. However, the Heavenly Court is, after all, the legitimate authority of the Three Realms. If they could regain the Heavenly Court's authority as this emperor, whose words are as arrogant as Heavenly Court heavens, claims, they might even be able to truly control the Three Realms...
Those four, holding prominent positions, naturally shared in the honor.
"Your humble servant obeys!" Marshal Tianpeng and the other three celestial beings responded loudly.
They then mustered their troops and prepared for war, and marched north in a grand procession.
As for the remnants of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace who were fighting with the disciples of the Divine Firmament Sect and the Mysterious Heaven Sect below, they had already cowardly self-destructed when Zhou Hao ordered the Coiling Dragon Ridge Mountains to be wiped out, and their souls went to be reincarnated. The remaining ones who dared to try to escape were no match for the Four Great Celestial Masters and the five True Immortals, including Taibai Venus, and were all killed.
"Your Majesty!" Celestial Master Sa and the other three old Daoist priests flew over, bowed, and said, "We, the Four Great Celestial Masters and the disciples of the Divine Firmament Sect, are willing to follow Your Majesty to wipe out the evil spirits!"
"Granted." Zhou Hao nodded. "You will all follow my imperial carriage to Coiled Dragon Ridge."
"Respect the decree!"
Immediately, nine dragons pulled the chariot, and the imperial regalia of the Heavenly Court was displayed. Surrounded by ten thousand heavenly soldiers and generals, as well as disciples and followers of the Divine Firmament Sect and Mysterious Heaven Sect, it turned north and flew away.
Zhou Hao swore an oath to launch a northern expedition in the Vast Wilderness Mountain Range. The 400,000-strong army of immortals shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens and alarming the immortals and gods of all directions.
In the Eastern Victory Divine Continent, forces not belonging to the Dao Sect were filled with fear and unease, hastily closing their cave dwellings for fear of inviting disaster.
Those who had previously associated with the Ten Thousand Demon Palace were terrified and immediately began relocating their entire forces, fleeing the Eastern Victory Divine Continent first.
The powerful beings of the Three Realms possess extraordinary abilities, especially those in the Heavenly Realm. After the Three Pure Ones exchanged blows with the Patriarch Styx, they were drawn to the scene and focused their consciousness on it. They not only witnessed the oath-taking ceremony from afar, but also saw Zhou Hao kill Hundred Desires and the other three Heavenly Gods in a fierce battle.
"Haha, junior brother is so domineering."
"Master made the right choice in appointing our junior brother as the Heavenly Court Emperor, making him the vanguard of our Dao Sect."
"Fellow disciples, let's keep a close eye on things, especially to prevent those Wujian Gate scoundrels from the Wujian Sect from attacking and killing our junior brother again."
"Right."
"If they dare to make a move, we can simply start a war in the Heavenly Realm first; we're going to fight sooner or later anyway."
These thoughts and ideas belong to the Daoist Dao Sect, or to powerful figures under the tutelage of the Three Pure Ones.
"Zhou Hao, what a boastful tone!"
"Is this an attempt to restore the Heavenly Court's authority and reinstate the ruler of the Three Realms Lady Nuwa failed to establish?"
"Regardless of the circumstances, it won't affect our Dao Ancestor True God. If it can truly establish the Heavenly Court's prestige and end the previous chaos in the Three Realms, it might actually be a good thing. At least within our Nuwa Faction, there will be less fighting and strife."
"That's right."
"This little fellow is truly remarkable. No wonder he is a disciple favored by the Sanqing Ones. In addition to the Taiji Power, he has also comprehended the power of the mind this time. Once he passes through the Heavenly God Tribulation, he will likely be among the most outstanding beings below the True God level."
... These are the thoughts and consciousnesses of powerful beings outside of other Dao Sect.
They were all incredibly amazed by Zhou Hao.
Regardless of Zhou Hao's strength and potential, or his courage and boldness, at least this time, in the hearts of many powerful figures in the Three Realms, Zhou Hao's name has truly been remembered.
In addition, many other thoughts carrying a chilling murderous intent secretly enveloped the area, but immediately dissipated upon contact with the thoughts of the powerful figures of the Dao Sect, clearly indicating their apprehension.
After all, the Heavenly Realm is the territory of the Dao Sect and Buddhism, and the Eastern Victory Divine Continent is the stronghold of the Dao Sect.
Some other powerful immortals and deities from other factions come here to occupy a mountain, but the great Dao Sect masters don't bother with them.
But if other powerful individuals want to get in, they can forget about it.
The next chapter might not be finished. You guys can wait until tomorrow to read it. I'm really hesitant to make any promises these days.
