Focus!

"Boom~~~~"

"Boom~~~~"

The rhinoceros, tens of thousands of feet long and as large as two mountains, crashed heavily onto the earth, its body sprawled out on its back.

The hurricane, formed by the countless dust particles and fragments of earth and stone that were stirred up, swept across all directions.

"Moo~~~" Whether out of anger or pain, Pi Chen'er a cow's roar and rolled over to his feet.

Embarrassing, uh, no, it's embarrassing!

These brothers have transformed into their original forms and charged at their enemies with rhinoceros horns more than once or twice.

In the past, enemies would either dodge or withstand the attack head-on. But to be flipped over and thrown out in full view of everyone, with their lower body exposed in such a blatant display... this is truly unprecedented.

Zhou Hao's response was not very harmful, but extremely insulting.

Pi Chen'er and Pi Shu'er's four bull eyes were fixed on Zhou Hao, already bloodshot.

Over there, Zhou Hao himself pressed down hard on Pi Han'er's rhinoceros horn with both hands, burying most of its head into the ground.

"If it weren't for my cultivation of the Eight-Nine Arcane Art, my divine body reaching the level of a pure Yang magic weapon, and the fact that Taiji Fist Art is best at using the opponent's force against them, I really wouldn't have been able to overturn those two mad bulls." Zhou Hao felt the frantic struggle from his subordinates, so he simply pushed up with his right knee to suppress Pi Han'er.

These three rhinoceroses are divine beasts, with noble bloodlines comparable to ancient mythical creatures such as the nine-tailed fox and the five-element peacock.

Looking across the entire Three Realms, the Three-Headed Rhinoceros Demon King is among the most powerful. When he goes mad, he is even stronger than Marshal Tianpeng and Yingwu Celestial God. Only the most monstrous and top-tier true immortals and gods, such as Lü Dongbin, dare to say that they can surpass him.

Of course, Lü Dongbin was a Qi cultivator, while these three rhinoceroses were both God-Devil Body Refining and Qi. Lü Dongbin was at a disadvantage from the start. If he didn't use his trump card, such as the Chaos Treasure ' Green Duckweed Sword Sword', he probably wouldn't be able to subdue these three rhinoceros demon kings.

But when they encountered Zhou Hao, not only was his divine body stronger and his brute strength greater, but he could also use the opponent's force against them, and his cultivation level was also higher. They had truly met their nemesis.

Buzz~~~

Five enormous golden gate towers appeared out of thin air and took root in the ground.

The hazy starlight transformed into Five Elements Constellation Grand Formation, suppressing Pi Han'er within it.

"Third brother!" Seeing that their third brother, Bi Han'er, was trapped in the great formation, Pi Chen'er and Pi Shu'er Pi Han'er over again, trying to knock Godfall Workshop and rescue him.

Once such a suppressive magic weapon is trapped, it is extremely difficult to escape from inside, but it is easier to destroy from the outside.

Boom~~~ Boom~~~

Two rhinoceroses charged.

Having already learned their lesson, this time their bodies emanated a Daoist aura, and with each thunderous thud of their hooves, the surrounding space shifted, accompanied by a strange vibration.

"I've learned my lesson this time." Zhou Hao felt the strange vibration that made the space seem like it was flowing water, and he knew that he could no longer easily get close enough to overturn the two rhinoceroses as before.

The two rhinoceroses are now clearly using a profound technique, containing the subtle mysteries of the Great Dao of Water and the Heaven and Earth Great Dao.

"You want to break my magic array, rescue the third brother, and then join forces to transform into the ' Lunar Divine Rhinoceros '?" Zhou Hao sneered.

He first used the force of the two of them to lift them up, just to prevent the three rhinoceroses from gathering together and having a chance to form the ' Lunar Divine Rhinoceros '.

According to the information given to him by Taibai Venus, the ' Lunar Divine Rhinoceros ' formed by the three rhinoceroses is almost the top combat force among the true immortals and gods. Without the intervention of the True God Dao Ancestor, a single true immortal or god is almost invincible. How could he not be on guard?

Wow!

The Asura God's avatar manifested a ' Saha Treasure Tree ' in the void above its head, with hundreds of branches and leaves wrapping around Pi Shu'er.

Meanwhile, his true form wielded Purple Gold Hammer, using it to unleash the Fantian Seal, striking down at Pi Chen'er, the eldest of the three rhinoceroses.

Now that the three rhinoceroses have trapped one, the remaining two can each be dealt with by their own clones, preventing them from joining forces.

"Bang!!!"

Pi Chen'er felt a powerful force sweeping over it, a force that seemed to lack any skill, a pure and overwhelming power that caused the ground beneath its hooves to distort.

Not only did its forward momentum stop, but its two front hooves seemed about to give way and it was about to slip and fall.

Zhou Hao was also greatly shocked.

But he shifted his feet, twisted his waist and moved sideways, not only dissipating the impact but also using the force against him, allowing the Purple Gold Hammer to crash down again at an even faster speed.

Boom~~~

Pi Chen'er did not expect Zhou Hao's next attack to come so quickly. Although it also used a method to deflect the force and had thick skin and flesh, it could not compare to Zhou Hao's body, which was like a pure yang magic weapon. In the end, its blood and qi were shaken and stagnated, and it took the blow solidly on its head.

It should be noted that this Purple Gold Hammer is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, and Zhou Hao is using the most ferocious hammer technique from his ' Taiji Fist Art '.

He immediately smashed most of Pi Chen'er's bull head, causing the entire bull to wail and fall to the ground, shaking the earth for dozens of miles around.

Without wasting words, Zhou Hao stepped forward and smashed the bull's head, back, and rump with five or six hammer blows in succession.

The immense power traveled through Pi Chen'er's body and onto the ground, causing the surrounding mountains and land to churn like waves on the sea, demonstrating just how ruthless he was.

"Moo moo~~~" Pi Chen'er let out a miserable howl.

Trying to turn things around is futile; with the Purple Gold Hammer relentlessly pounding down, there's no way to turn things around.

He wanted to use his magical powers to escape, but Zhou Hao's hammer blows were extremely precise, each strike seemingly timed perfectly, instantly shattering the magical power he had just gathered.

Bang bang bang...

Zhou Hao continued to strike with his Purple Gold Hammer, asking with a smile, "Are you convinced now?"

He was extremely measured in his attacks; only one of his three strikes contained the Taiji Power, which would destroy some of Pi Chen'er's divine Soul Seal. The other two strikes only caused pain but did not damage his fundamental nature.

This way, there's no risk of accidentally killing Pi Chen'er, and he's also powerless to resist or turn the tables.

Pi Chen'er wanted to be defiant, so he roared, "I'd rather die than submit!"

But Zhou Hao didn't give it a chance to speak at all. He asked, "Do you submit?" while the Purple Gold Hammer pounded down on it relentlessly.

He then stole a glance and saw his second brother, Pi Shu'er, being entangled by hundreds of branches and leaves of the Saha Treasure Tree on the other side, as if he were about to be barbecued. The wound that Zhou Hao in black robes had opened with the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade was still bleeding profusely. Instantly, his last hope was shattered.

I give up!

Pi Chen'er opened his bull mouth as if to speak, but he only managed to utter the word "I" before the rest was slammed back down by the Purple Gold Hammer.

"Are you trying to get me to convince you, or are you just asking and actually trying to beat me to death?"

Pi Chen'er filled with grief and indignation.

When Zhou Hao asked again, "Do you submit?", he quickly nodded repeatedly.

"Why didn't you say so earlier? You got beaten up for nothing!" Seeing that Pi Chen'er had given in, Zhou Hao stopped swinging his Purple Gold Hammer, took out a 'Beast Taming Talisman', and slapped it at Pi Chen'er's head.

"Don't resist, soul! Otherwise, I'll break your rhinoceros horn first, and then I'll ask you if you submit," Zhou Hao joked.

The Daoist runes of the original 'Beast Taming Talisman' entered his body and headed straight for the Mud Pill Palace. Pi Chen'er subconsciously tried to resist.

But upon hearing Zhou Hao's threats, he shuddered and ultimately dared not resist. The mark was imprinted on his soul, and he was thus converted.

"It's done." Feeling the unseen connection between himself and the 'scarred' half-dead ox before him, Zhou Hao knew that the Beast Taming Talisman had worked.

Unless it can break through to the level of a Celestial Immortal and become True God Dao Ancestor in the future, the life and death of Pi Chen'er will be entirely in its own hands, and there is no need to worry about it turning against it.

And once there is one, there will be two.

With the eldest of the three demon kings having submitted, the remaining second and third were naturally easy to deal with.

The thought that he would soon have three spirit beasts that would rank among the gods and immortals filled Zhou Hao with joy, his eyes crinkling with laughter.

He was overjoyed to have Pi Chen'er, the leader of the Three Demon Kings, when he sensed a surge of magical power coming from the Ten Thousand Demon Palace in the distance.

"Is it that witch who wants to rescue us?" Zhou Hao glanced over, his hands forming a hand seal, ready to summon the Cosmos Diagram at any moment to guard against sneak attacks from those evil immortals.

Unexpectedly, a pale-faced middle-aged man threw out a skull staff wreathed in green flames, unleashing boundless green smoke as he launched a surprise attack on the White Wondrous Demoness from behind.

Along with him, three other Pure Yang True Immortal also attacked, some wielding magical treasures, others unleashing giant swords, all aimed at the witch.

The remaining nearly one hundred leaders of various forces in Coiled Dragon Ridge, all at the half-step Pure Yang Celestial Immortal level, also unleashed their trump cards, attacking another True Immortal from the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, the ' Netherworld Ghost Mother '.

The White Wondrous Demoness, seeing that the three demon kings were no match for her, secretly summoned a gleaming mirror magic weapon, intending to use Asura magic to secretly help them. Little did she expect to be attacked from behind.

It was too late to react then.

Several loud booms were heard, and all the attacks hit their mark.

The White Wondrous Demoness and the Netherworld Ghost Mother were merely Pure Yang True Immortal, their physical bodies stronger than those of Celestial Immortals. How could they compare to the resilience of a Celestial God? In an instant, they were reduced to two piles of meat patties, their screams barely audible before their very souls were destroyed.

"The Ten Thousand Demon Palace does not follow the Heavenly Dao, nor does it respect the Heavenly Court. We, the Coiled Dragon Ridge, have long suffered because of it. Now, the Heavenly Emperor Zhou has wielded the Heavenly Dao Army to rescue us from our dire straits. All the immortals of Coiled Dragon Ridge are willing to submit to the Heavenly Court and the Heavenly Emperor Zhou from this day forward!" The pale-faced middle-aged man roared wildly after killing the White Wondrous Demoness.

The sorrow in his words and the earnestness in his eyes made Zhou Hao secretly applaud.

"What a treacherous opportunist, a scoundrel who seeks only personal gain and avoids harm!"

Pi Chen'er, who had just been restrained by the Beast Taming Talisman, saw the White Wondrous Demoness die tragically, without even leaving her soul to be reincarnated, and a few tears immediately welled up in his bull-like eyes.

"Don't cry, little ox. It's alright if you die. Emperor 'll find you a beautiful cow someday so you won't be lonely." Zhou Hao patted Pi Chen'er's head.

Upon hearing this, Pi Chen'er shed even more tears.

My Old Niu prefers pretty women, not cows...

"Hey, don't be moved. Go and persuade your two brothers to submit quickly, so they can avoid a beating." Zhou Hao nodded with satisfaction, letting Pi Chen'er go on her own, while he went to the front of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace's formation.

At this time, all the leaders of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace at the True Immortal and Heavenly God level were dead, and the remaining more than 100,000 Asura demon soldiers had their leaders subdued by the leaders of the various mountain strongholds of Coiled Dragon Ridge who had turned against them.

Upon seeing Zhou Hao approach slowly, nearly two hundred thousand cultivators, led by a middle-aged man at the head, all knelt on the ground and shouted, "Greetings, Great Emperor Ziwei Yuxu of the Central Heaven's North Pole!"

"Not bad." Zhou Hao looked approvingly at the middle-aged man in the lead.

Although his attacks were accompanied by green smoke and ghostly flames, and he had a pale, skeletal appearance, he didn't look like a good person.

Once one's cultivation reaches the level of Pure Yang True Immortal, minor flaws such as physical appearance become insignificant.

"How should we address you True Immortals?" Zhou Hao asked.

"My Daoist name is 'Kugu' (枯骨), and my nickname in the Three Realms is ' Withered Bone True Lord' (枯骨真君). I pay my respects to the Heavenly Emperor Zhou." Withered Bone True Lord spoke first.

Then, standing next to him, slightly behind, a tall man with an ancient face and disheveled hair, resembling a wild and untamed man, loudly proclaimed, "My Daoist name is 'Poison Dragon,' also known as Poison Dragon Venerable, and I pay my respects to the Heavenly Emperor Zhou."

Beside him, another round-faced man spoke up, his voice booming like a drum. "My Daoist name is ' Iron Drum,' and I pay my respects to the Heavenly Emperor Zhou."

Finally, there was the only woman among the four True Immortals, or rather, an old woman, but when she spoke, her voice was gentle and melodious, like the music of the gods.

"My Daoist name is ' Sacred Sound,' and I have met the Heavenly Emperor Zhou."

Sacred Sound?

Zhou Hao nodded to himself.

Just listening to this sound, it truly lives up to its name of ' Sacred Sound '.

It's just that it looks like this...

For cultivators, especially female immortals, changing their appearance is not difficult once they reach the Pure Yang level.

However, this Sacred Sound True Immortal had an aged face, covered in wrinkles, which seemed quite strange compared to his perfect voice.

However, such a trivial matter only flashed through his mind. Looking at the four Pure Yang True Immortal who had surrendered before him, although he had to maintain the dignity of an emperor, he naturally had to show respect and courtesy when it was time to do so.

"Rise." Zhou Hao's voice rang in the ears of every cultivator in the Ten Thousand Demon Palace. He himself unleashed four streams of Origin Power to lift up the Withered Bone True Lord, the Poison Dragon Venerable, the Iron Drum True Immortal, and the Sacred Sound True Immortal.

"This Ten Thousand Demon Palace is disobedient and has repeatedly rebelled against the Heavenly Court. I, the Emperor, have received the decree of the Sanqing Ones and have taken charge of the Heavenly Court's killing and destruction. Today, I have come to the mortal realm to eradicate the Ten Thousand Demon Palace." Zhou Hao looked around, and even the four True Immortals dared not meet his gaze.

"You all pulled back from the brink today, avoiding falling into an abyss with the witch; this is truly a great act of kindness."

"Since you are now willing to submit to the Heavenly Court and obey my Emperor, then Emperor will accept you for the time being. As long as you remain loyal and faithful to my orders, whether you are human, demon, or asura, you will all have the opportunity to be ranked among the immortals and become righteous gods of the Heavenly Court. From then on, you will enjoy the magnificent scenery of the Heavenly Palace and will no longer have to struggle in the mire, associating with demons and evil spirits in the desolate mountains and rivers."

Splash~~~

Nearly 200,000 cultivators, the majority of whom were Asuras and some were demons, with only a small number being humans, and most of them were subordinates brought by the forces of Coiled Dragon Ridge, such as the Withered Bone True Lord.

At this moment, everyone heard what Zhou Hao said, and they were all extremely surprised.

"We can also enter the Heavenly Court? And even become officials?"

Those demons, asuras, and celestial beings who Void Return whispered among themselves, unable to believe it.

"Of course I can," Zhou Hao declared loudly. "As the Great Emperor of Heavenly Court, I stand alongside the Jade Emperor in the North and South, my position is so lofty, how could I possibly deceive you?"

"Now that the Three Realms are in turmoil, it is the time for our Heavenly Court to restore the dignity of the Three Realms' rightful ruler. Naturally, there will be no shortage of opportunities to kill enemies and make meritorious contributions."

At this point, Zhou Hao looked at the Withered Bone True Lord.

"Dry Bones, you were the first to surrender and the first to attack the witch. I, the Emperor, always reward merit and punish wrongdoing! I hereby bestow upon you thirty pure Yang-grade spiritual pills. When you achieve further military merits in the future, you will be rewarded according to your achievements and ranked among the immortals."

When the Withered Bone True Lord saw the thirty golden Pure Yang Spirit Pills slowly flying towards him, emanating terrifying Origin Power fluctuations, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"Your Emperor's discerning eyes are truly insightful. I, the withered bones, am utterly convinced and grateful for Your Emperor's bestowal!" The Withered Bone True Lord knelt on the ground, his face flushed with excitement.

have a look.

This is the Heavenly Court Emperor.

He's incredibly generous!

The stroke of genius in surrendering himself was absolutely the most worthwhile move of his life.

The celestial leaders behind them watched Withered Bone True Lord put away thirty pure Yang-grade spiritual pills, their mouths watering with envy.

This is a pure Yang-grade spiritual pill; one pill can be exchanged for an ordinary pure Yang magic weapon.

Thirty in total. That's all the wealth of an ordinary True Immortal or Heavenly God. All their treasures combined could only buy them three or five at most.

That's almost ten times their net worth.

As for Poison Dragon Venerable, Iron Drum True Immortal, and Sacred Sound True Immortal, they did not lose their composure like the other celestial beings, but they couldn't help feeling a pang of sadness when they saw the excited Withered Bone True Lord.

If I had known that being the first to propose it would have these benefits, why didn't I bring up the idea of turning against it sooner!

"Poison Dragon, Iron Drum, Sacred Sound." Zhou Hao's eyes darted around, then he looked at the three True Immortals.

"Yes," Poison Dragon Venerable, Iron Drum True Immortal, Sacred Sound True Immortal bowed and replied.

"The three of you have rendered meritorious service in slaying the witch, and I, the Emperor, will also reward you."

Zhou Hao waved his hand and sent another thirty pure Yang-grade spiritual pills flying towards them in three streams.

"I bestow upon each of you ten pure Yang-grade spiritual pills as a reward for your outstanding contribution."

"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Emperor!" The three True Immortals were overjoyed and immediately knelt on the ground to express their gratitude.

"As for you all," Zhou Hao then looked at the hundred celestial leaders.

These are all half-step Pure Yang beings, the pinnacle among Heavenly Immortals; otherwise, they wouldn't be qualified to occupy a mountain in the Heavenly Realm and become its leaders.

Although with his current status and position, he doesn't care much about those below the True Immortal and Heavenly God level, the sheer number of Heavenly Immortals is not to be underestimated.

Didn't you see that the Netherworld Ghost Mother died from the sneak attack and combined assault of these hundred celestial leaders?

"You all joined forces to kill the Ghost Mother, which is also meritorious. Therefore, I will bestow upon each of you ten high-grade Pure Yang Spirit Pills." Zhou Hao waved his hand, and a full thousand high-grade Pure Yang Spirit Pills flew towards the celestial beings like golden bridges.

"Thank you, Your Emperor!" The celestial beings were overjoyed and knelt down to pay their respects, saying, "We will sincerely pledge our allegiance to Your Emperor from now on!"

"We will sincerely submit to the Emperor in the future!" The four Pure Yang True Immortal, including the Withered Bone True Lord, echoed.

"Good." Zhou Hao nodded.

He first used the three demon kings, including Pi Chen'er, to demonstrate his strength, and then used the rewards to show off his wealth.

Furthermore, with the rightful ruler of the Three Realms, the Great Emperor of Heavenly Court, behind them, their status was sufficient to guarantee them a promising future.

Such a combination of kindness and severity, along with promises of future rewards, should be enough to win over these true immortals and celestial beings.

At this moment, the other two rhinoceroses, who had been persuaded by Pi Chen'er, also had the 'Beast Taming Talisman' planted on Zhou Hao Zhou Hao.

"Excellent." Zhou Hao nodded, letting his clone return to the Red Dust Immortal Mansion, while his true self in yellow robes rode on Pi Chen'er's back.

That's enough time for it to recover from its injuries.

Following them, Pi Chen'er carried Zhou Hao at the head of the procession, with Pi Shu'er Poison Dragon Venerable and Pi Han'er on either side. Behind them were four True Immortals: Withered Bone True Lord, Du Long Iron Drum True Immortal, along with a hundred Heavenly Immortals at the half-step Pure Yang level, and a massive army of nearly two hundred thousand humans, demons, and Asuras.

Taibai Venus, the Four Great Celestial Masters, Marshal Tianpeng, and the Yingwu Celestial God, along with an army of 400,000, watched as Zhou Hao single-handedly subdued the entire Ten Thousand Demon Palace faction, which had been subduing them.

Everyone looked at the yellow-robed Zhou Tiandi at the forefront, their eyes filled with shock, awe, and even a touch of worship.

"This is a true hero, a true hero!" Celestial Master Sa murmured to himself.

The other three celestial masters looked at each other.

Although he didn't speak, it was as if everything was understood without being said.
