The End!

"Sanqing, step aside!" The Master Hengmu held a purple ruler in his hand, his aura astonishing.

A surge of purple light, like a tidal wave, erupted from the Purple Ruler, rushing relentlessly towards the sword light emanating from the Immortal-Slaying Four Swords. However, under the overwhelming sword aura, it was repeatedly worn away.

"Sanqing! Your disciple Zhou Hao killed more than six hundred True Immortals and Heavenly Gods of my Wujian Gate, and now he is going to hunt down the remaining Immortals and Demons. Are you really going to let this go and watch him provoke a great battle between our two sides?" The Black-Robed God King's eyes seemed to burn with flames as he glared angrily at Daoist Lingbao.

"When you set up a trap to kill my disciple, you weren't afraid of provoking a decisive battle and wouldn't allow me to save him. Now that my disciple is even stronger and has turned the tables on your immortals and demons, you expect me to intervene and worry about the conflict? What a joke!" Daoist Lingbao said coldly, making a hand seal and pointing at the Immortal-Slaying Four Swords.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Four flag-shaped platforms appeared in the void, Immortal-Slaying Four Swords had originally surrounded him were now suspended on the platforms.

The chaotic void outside the Earth Ruins Realm was instantly darkened, and thick baleful aura and killing intent formed a dense fog that enveloped the entire Earth Ruins Realm.

"In the world of killing, only the skill of the method matters; there is no principle that you can kill me and I cannot kill you."

Daoist Lingbao, with his hair and beard flying wildly, stood in the center of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, exuding a terrifying aura.

"Anyone who wants to enter the Earth Ruins Realm today must first ask if my Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation will allow it!"

"You!" The Black-Robed God King was furious.

It was clear that the Daoist Lingbao avatar of the Daoist Sanqing, who was in charge of slaughter and destruction, was ready to fight to the death, which made him hesitate to act rashly.

The Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation is not called the number one killing formation in the Three Realms for nothing.

During the ancient war, many top-tier True God Dao Ancestor died within the sword formation, so how could he dare to rush forward rashly?

call.

As the Black-Robed God King was racking his brains for a solution, a figure suddenly appeared beside him.

The Black-Robed God King was overjoyed when he saw the red-robed, blue-haired giant appear beside him, and respectfully said, "Demon Lord."

The man before them, dressed in a red robe, with flowing blue hair, a large beard, and eyes that faintly glowed with blue light, was none other than the undisputed strongest and highest-ranking member of the entire Wujian Gate Sect— the Lord of Myriad Demons!

Like his master, the Heart Demon Lord, the Lord of Myriad Demons was born from chaos and was born at the level of Ancestor God, possessing a Heavenly Dao of Wind from birth!

Because during the ancient war of destruction, Nuwa broke through to become the god Pangu in the midst of battle. Just when she was about to slaughter all the powerful beings on the side of the Wujian Gate, the Lord of Myriad Demons suddenly erupted, saving a large number of powerful beings and celestial gods and immortals, and then fled, thus saving the Wujian Gate from destruction. Therefore, he was regarded as the savior by the entire Wujian Gate and was revered as the Lord of Myriad Demons.

Despite being nominally the leader of the Wujian Gate, the Black-Robed God King knew that it was only because the Lord of Myriad Demons was unwilling to deal with trivial matters.

The Lord of Myriad Demons is the true highest-ranking figure in the Wujian Gate.

The 'Ten Thousand Lord of Myriad Demons Myriad Demon Realm, is the strongest world within the entire Wujian Gate, and its foundation and lair, containing the most secrets.

After the red-robed, blue-haired giant, the ' Lord of Myriad Demons,' appeared, he did not look at the Black-Robed God King, but instead looked at the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation.

"Sanqing, Hengmu, let's stop for now."

The voice of the Lord of Myriad Demons echoed through the sword formation.

The Master Hengmu, who was rushing into the depths of the sword formation with the protection of the dense purple light, heard the sound and immediately used his wooden ruler to shatter a hazy sword aura that was attacking him. He then turned around and left the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation.

"Wind Demon, if you want to join forces with Hengmu, you are welcome to break the sword formation together. I will gladly accept." Daoist Lingbao paused his sword technique, and two more figures emerged from behind the four flag gate platforms of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation. They were the other two avatars of the Daoist Sanqing — Supreme Pure Dao Venerable and Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

In an instant, the three Dao Ancestor avatars of the Daoist Sanqing gathered together and set up the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation.

Throughout the Three Realms, almost all True God Dao Ancestor sensed the terrifying power here, and their thoughts and divine senses enveloped it.

"The Sanqing have gone mad."

"This is the first time since the ancient war that we have seen all the avatars of the Sanqing gathered together."

"Wind Demon and Hengmu are here too, could it be that the final battle is about to begin?"

Whether they were powerful figures from Nuwa Faction or those from the Wujian Gate's camp, even if they hadn't paid attention to this place before, now that the Sanqing were putting on a desperate stance, and their targets were Wind Demon and Hengmu, they immediately turned all their attention to this place.

After all, the two sides in the standoff are the highest-ranking members of their respective camps. If they were to start fighting, the powerful figures in their camps would certainly not stand idly by.

As a result of the chain reaction, a decisive battle may well be about to unfold.

The Lord of Myriad Demons ignored the whispers of his own allies and calmly addressed the Daoist Sanqing, saying, "I did not come here to fight you, otherwise the Demon Hand would have come along as well."

"So what if they come? We'll fight with the strongest. Do you think we're afraid?" The Daoist Sanqing sneered.

Besides the Lord of Myriad Demons and the Master Hengmu, the only other publicly known leader and powerful figure in the Wujian Gate Sect is the ' Demonic Hand Dao Ancestor,' who is known as the Demon among Demons.

That person dared to confront Nuwa head-on before Lady Nuwa breakthrough, which shows just how powerful she was.

However, besides Rulai, the leaders of Nuwa Faction included Buddha and the three sovereigns of the human race: Suiren-shi, Shennong-shi, and Fuxi-shi.

There's no reason for us to be afraid of the other party!

no way.

This time, because of their own disciples, the Wujian Gate lost more than six hundred True Immortals and Heavenly Gods, and the matter has become too big.

How many true immortals and celestial beings are there in total on both sides combined?

More than six hundred true immortals and celestial beings—regardless of which side they were fighting, this was a devastating loss, enough to cripple them.

If they back down, several True God Dao Ancestor from Zhou Hao's side will immediately join forces to kill them. Moreover, they might use this as an excuse to force them to make concessions elsewhere to make up for the losses suffered by the Wujian Gate today.

After all, the strength Zhou Hao has displayed is clearly at the level of True God Dao Ancestor, and at the top level at that. His act of slaughtering True Immortals and Heavenly Gods is a violation of the rules and a breach of the tacit understanding between the two camps.

All Sanqing masters understood that they absolutely could not back down now; they had to be firm to the end, putting on an image of being ready for a decisive battle at the last minute, all in order to gain the upper hand.

Regardless of whether we're right or wrong, we should try to gain some ground first.

"Sanqing, your disciple is indeed a prodigy. He has achieved the strength of a top-tier True God Dao Ancestor in just over a hundred years of cultivation. However, his wanton slaughter of True Immortals and Heavenly Gods has indeed broken the rules." As expected, the Lord of Myriad Demons started by bringing up Zhou Hao's strength.

"Wind Demon, don't talk to me about rules." The Daoist Sanqing, who had already planned this all along, retorted directly.

"Did my disciple Changsheng willingly go to slaughter you True Immortals and Gods?"

"So, when your true immortals and celestial gods formed a great formation to kill my disciple, he couldn't even retaliate and could only offer his neck for slaughter?"

"If that's the case, I'll immediately send Suiren-shi and Rulai with some immortals and demons to surround and kill the three of you."

"That's just sophistry!" the Black-Robed God King couldn't help but shout angrily.

"How was I supposed to know he possessed such strength after just passing through the Heavenly Tribulation? If I had known, why would I have brought six hundred immortals and demons with me?"

"Yes, if my disciple hadn't been strong enough, he would have died at your hands this time." The Daoist Sanqing' gaze was fixed on the Lord of Myriad Demons.

"Ultimately, you were the ones who broke the rules first!"

The Black-Robed God King was so angry he felt like vomiting blood.

However, the Daoist Sanqing seized upon the fact that it was their own incarnation who disregarded the rules and restrained Zhou Hao. They also used over six hundred immortals and demons to set up a killing formation, intending to completely eliminate Zhou Hao's weakness and leave them with no grounds for rebuttal.

More importantly, the Daoist Sanqing were ready to fight to the death.

None of the other leaders and powerful figures in Nuwa Faction came to mediate, seemingly having reached a consensus that they were not afraid of a decisive battle.

This only made the Black-Robed God King even more wary.

After all, their side was already at a disadvantage. If they were to fight now, it was hard to say how many powerful figures would survive in Nuwa Faction, but all the powerful figures in the Wujian Gate would surely die.

The Lord of Myriad Demons and the Master Hengmu exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with helplessness.

"The catastrophe is the most important thing. For survival, we need more time to prepare," Master Hengmu sighed and transmitted his voice.

"Um."

The Lord of Myriad Demons nodded slightly and said to the Daoist Sanqing in a deep voice, "Let's let today's matter rest. You shall withdraw the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation and allow our True Immortals and Gods to leave."

As for your disciple Zhou Hao... as long as he doesn't initiate slaughter in the future, we won't specifically target him."

"Alright." The Daoist Sanqing knew when to stop, so they immediately put away the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation and lifted the seal on the Earth Ruins Realm.

Because of the sealing effect of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, whether it's outsiders wanting to enter the Earth Ruins Realm or immortals and demons inside wanting to come out, they all have to go through the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation.

The True Immortals and Celestials of the Wujian Gate, who had just wiped out the Necro Race of the Earth Ruins Realm, did not have the strength to break through the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, and were naturally trapped within the Earth Ruins Realm.

In just a short while, Zhou Hao annihilated three squads of the remaining two hundred or so True Immortals and Celestials, including more than forty True Immortals and Celestials.

"You brat, you've already gotten such a great deal, and you're still not satisfied?" The Daoist Sanqing Daoist's thoughts enveloped the entire Earth Ruins Realm.

Seeing that Zhou Hao was still chasing after the True Immortal God of the Wujian Gate, the clone Supreme Pure Dao Venerable immediately took a step and entered the Earth Ruins Realm.

Although the Lord of Myriad Demons had just said that today's matter would be let go, he was still worried that the Infernal Wujian Gate go back on its word, and that another powerful figure might secretly go to assassinate him.

Within the Earth Ruins Realm.

Zhou Hao's mind was firmly locked onto a team of immortals and demons from the Wujian Gate, like a shark eyeing its prey. He kept traversing the void, relentlessly pursuing the team of fifteen true immortals and gods.

"These teams from the Wujian Gate actually all have True Immortals who have comprehended and mastered the Heaven and Earth Great Dao. This is really troublesome," Zhou Hao thought to himself with a sigh.

He was strong in strength, but his strength lay in his foundation; his magical power was pure and profound, comparable to that of a top-tier True God Dao Ancestor.

However, in terms of Dao realm, the gap between them and ordinary Pure Yang True Immortal is not that significant.

Moreover, everyone has their own area of expertise.

If it weren't for having the Cosmos Diagram, how could I have kept up with a Pure Yang True Immortal who had comprehended and mastered the Heaven and Earth Great Dao? I would have been left behind countless times long ago.

At this moment.

Zhou Hao suddenly sensed that the seal that had enveloped the entire Earth Ruins Realm had disappeared.

"This is bad!" Zhou Hao's expression changed.

Those other Wujian Gate squads that weren't being relentlessly pursued by him immediately panicked and teleported away.

In the blink of an eye, only the Wujian Gate team he was targeting remained in the Earth Ruins Realm, as they hadn't had time to use their Boundary-Breaking Great Teleportation technique and hadn't yet left.

However, the Pure Yang True Immortal in that team wasn't stupid either. Although he couldn't break through the boundary to leave directly, he still began to fly towards the void outside the Earth Ruins Realm.

"The meat that was supposed to be cooked has all flown away," Zhou Hao thought bitterly.

In his eyes, those true immortals and gods who had escaped were all pure yang magic treasures.

As Zhou Hao was pondering how to stop the team, he saw a figure flash in the distance, and an old Daoist with white hair and beard walked out of the void.

"Changsheng." A familiar voice rang in Zhou Hao's ears.

"Master!" Zhou Hao immediately flew towards the old Daoist priest.

That old Daoist was none other than the Supreme Pure Dao Venerable.

Zhou Hao also understood that since his master had appeared and stopped him, he was naturally not allowed to chase after that Wujian Gate team anymore.

"Changsheng, you possess the strength of a top-tier True God Dao Ancestor, but is it because of the Blue Flower that transformed from the Chaos Restriction?"

Upon meeting, the Supreme Pure Dao Venerable immediately sent a telepathic message to inquire.

In his view, if there was any secret about his young disciple that set him apart from others, it was the mysterious blue-and- Blue Flower formed from the Nine-Layer Chaos Restriction.

"Yes and no." Zhou Hao pondered for a moment before explaining, "The reason why I was able to have the strength of True God Dao Ancestor at the True Immortal Realm is actually related to my enhancement of my Golden Core. However, the reason why I can have the power of a top True God Dao Ancestor is indeed because of Blue Flower."

Supreme Pure Dao Venerable nodded slightly.

"It is indeed related to Blue Flower."

"Wait, what did you just say?"

"You said you've advanced to the Golden Core stage?"

The Supreme Pure Dao Venerable looked at Zhou Hao in surprise.

Because Zhou Hao had previously told him that Blue Flower could help him comprehend the Dao and also allow his strength to soar across realms.

Therefore, after Zhou Hao passed the Heavenly Supreme Pure Dao Venerable Tribulation, his Origin Power transformed into Magic Power, which enhanced the efficacy of the Blue Flower, thus allowing him to reach the level of a top-tier True God Dao Ancestor.

Although he found it hard to believe how miraculous the Blue Flower was, Supreme Pure Dao Venerable was no ordinary immortal or demon. He knew how vast the chaotic void beyond the Three Realms was and understood that anything could happen.

But he never expected it to be related to the Golden Elixir.

"Master, actually, after I successfully transcended the tribulation, just as my golden core was about to condense..." Zhou Hao then recounted in detail everything that happened after he transcended the tribulation.

As for his master, and since it was a matter related to spiritual practice, there was no need to hide it from him.

"So, although you are only Pure Yang True Immortal now, the foundation of your Pure Yang Golden Core is a hundred times that of an ordinary True Immortal." Supreme Pure Dao Venerable muttered to himself, his words filled with an indistinct mix of emotion and astonishment.

"Yes." Zhou Hao nodded. "My Second Primordial Spirit clone is slightly weaker, only sixty times stronger than an ordinary True Immortal. In terms of strength, it has just passed the threshold of True God Dao Ancestor."

"Sixty times... a hundred times... could we all be wrong?" Supreme Pure Dao Venerable muttered to himself, his lips moving but no sound coming out.

But Zhou Hao his master's meaning.

Since ancient times, the Three Realms have always been at the same level as True Immortals and Heavenly Gods, and at the same level as Dao Ancestors and True Gods.

However, judging from Zhou Hao's results, they should be equivalent to celestial immortals and celestial gods, and true immortals and true gods.

If this discovery were to spread, everyone's understanding of the path of Qi Refining would be overturned.

"Changsheng, from now on, if anyone asks you, you should say that you broke through the Qi Refining path, comprehended the Heavenly Dao Ancestor Immortal, which is to say, a Dao Ancestor." The tone of the Supreme Pure Dao Venerable was extremely solemn.

"But my understanding of the Dao is insufficient; other powerful beings can easily see through me," Zhou Hao said.

"It's alright." Supreme Pure Dao Venerable shook his head. "The secret technique you used earlier combined the profound mysteries of the Great Chaos Hole Palm and the Universe in the Universe in the Sleeve, two top-tier divine abilities. In terms of realm, it's not much different from the secret technique used by the Dao Ancestor after he comprehended and mastered a Heavenly Dao. Even if you have some doubts, it's understandable that you've only been cultivating for a short time and haven't accumulated enough experience."

"As for why you possess the strength of a top-tier Dao Ancestor, everyone has secrets. If you don't want to tell me, no one can force you to ask."

"Besides, you've shown your strength this time. Until the final battle, I'm afraid no one will dare to fight you again. Just be careful in normal times and reduce your attacks."

"In short, the matter of advancing to the Golden Core stage must never be revealed to outsiders," said the Supreme Pure Dao Venerable solemnly.

"Not even Yu'er and Chan'er?" Zhou Hao asked.

Liu Yu and Yun Yuchan were already at the Earth Immortal of the Void Return, and he planned to start preparing for their tribulation after they gave birth to their children.

"Their accumulation is still shallow, and there's no rush for them to undergo tribulation; we shouldn't reveal anything to them for now."

Supreme Pure Dao Venerable shook his head. Seeing the doubt in Zhou Hao's eyes, he simply explained, "This matter is too great, even greater than the more than six hundred True Immortals and Heavenly Gods you killed today."

"Think about it, if we secretly cultivate a new generation of Heavenly Immortals who have reached the Golden Core stage, their strength will be comparable to that of Heavenly Gods in the future. When they reach the True Immortal level, it will be equivalent to having another Dao Ancestor."

"As long as we can keep this secret, the longer we can delay, the greater the gap in strength between us and the Wujian Gate will become."

"Once the gap in strength between us becomes large enough, we can easily eliminate the Wujian Gate without suffering too much loss..."

"Do you now understand just how important the secret you've discovered truly is?" Supreme Pure Dao Venerable looked at Zhou Hao with emotion. "If the Wujian Gate were to find out now, they certainly wouldn't wait any longer; they would have no choice but to gamble everything and engage in a final, decisive battle."

"After all, the longer it drags on, the further behind they will fall."

Zhou Hao nodded silently.

yes.

To fully comprehend and master a Heavenly Dao and become a Dao Ancestor is extremely difficult.

From ancient times to the present, the number of Dao Ancestors who have achieved new accomplishments in the Three Realms can be counted on one's fingers.

On the other hand, becoming a true immortal is much simpler once you comprehend and master one great path.

If a group of geniuses Void Return are secretly cultivated, and then guided carefully by powerful figures, it won't be long, at most ten thousand years, before a hundred more Pure Yang True Immortal comparable to ordinary Dao Ancestors are produced.

One hundred Dao Ancestors.

How many Dao Ancestors are there in the entire Three Realms?

"Understood, Master," Zhou Hao said solemnly.

His clone within the Five Village Temple's grotto immediately went to warn the Earth Elder and the others about this matter.

After all, Earth Elder and Lu Shang were aware of his tribulation and the advancement of his Golden Core.

However, since they are now all Dao soldiers, and after I became the master of Five Village Temple, I am essentially their master as well, so I don't need to worry about leaking secrets.

"I will only let Rulai and Suiren-shi know about this matter. Whether it's to carefully verify and obtain more detailed methods for improving the Golden Core, or how to secretly cultivate Celestial Immortals, I will need their help," said Supreme Pure Dao Venerable.

"Mm." Zhou Hao nodded.

To see results as quickly as possible, all forces within Nuwa Faction must work together.

As for Rulai and Suiren-shi are reliable?

If even the highest-ranking leaders of the Buddhist and human race cannot be relied upon, then there's no point in engaging in any factional struggle with the Wujian Gate; they should just admit defeat.

"Oh, right," Supreme Pure Dao Venerable remembered something else, "Usually, when someone becomes True God Dao Ancestor, a grand celebration is held. Since you've displayed your strength this time, there must be quite a few True God Dao Ancestor who want to see you. I'll have Xuandu go and help you sort things out then."

"There's no need for that," Zhou Hao said quickly. "I'm not really going to become a Dao Ancestor."

"Precisely because it's not real, it's even more indispensable," Supreme Pure Dao Venerable laughed. "Currently, the various great worlds of the Three Realms are in constant strife, and the immortals and demons below are all filled with fear. Your celebration can boost morale and prevent those with weak wills from being misled by the Wujian Gate to defect to the enemy. It can also increase the fortune of our side in an intangible way."

To cultivate oneself for a hundred years and then rise from an ordinary mortal to become a Dao Ancestor is an unprecedented event, a feat that has been accomplished since the beginning of time.

If Nuwa Faction intends to promote the Three Realms, the immortals and demons at the bottom will be greatly encouraged and inspired, and will identify more strongly with their own camp, naturally leading to a surge in their fortune.

Having thought all this through, Zhou Hao stopped refusing.

This is also a good opportunity to get to know some of the most powerful figures in our own faction.

First update.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish the second update.

I completely forgot it was our wedding anniversary yesterday, but I promised my wife I'd go out for a nice meal tonight.

If I can finish writing it before midnight, I'll post it; otherwise, I'll post it tomorrow.
