Suppress and Capture Alive!

In the spatial passage.

Zhou Hao's mind was fixed on the Northern Land Immortal Elder, who was kneeling before the Black-Robed God King in the Fifth World, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"I was so blind to not realize that the Northern Land were spies."

Although he had never encountered a spy from the Wujian Gate, based on the information he had gathered from other powerful figures in Nuwa Faction, Wujian Gate spies were generally immortals and demons who rose to prominence in the middle and later stages of the Three Realms era.

In Zhou Hao's view, the probability of an ancient immortal like the Northern Land Immortal Elder being a spy for the Wujian Gate Wujian Chaosworld when he became a Celestial Immortal was extremely low.

"I was careless."

"I was too careless. I was only focused on guarding against external dangers, but I forgot that the hardest thing to guard against is from within! Although the people of the Northern Land were not from the Wujian Gate at first, people's hearts... can change!" Zhou Hao was now fully awake.

He would regard the Wujian Gate Sect, whose roots lie in the Wujian Chaosworld, as his enemies because of his master, family and friends, his birth in the Three Realms, and his birth on Nuwa Faction's side.

But humans are the most complex beings; they all have selfish desires.

Whether for personal gain, for advancement, or for various other reasons, some might choose to betray their people and defect to the enemy world...

But if you, the Wujian Gate, want to deal with me, then come at me!

To harm a newborn child is utterly despicable and vile!!!

Zhou Hao's face was icy cold, as if covered with a layer of frost. The madness in his eyes made him exude a terrifying killing intent. He rushed out of the spatial passage and arrived outside the Fifth World.

So what if it's the Wujian Gate the Infernal Affairs Bureau?

If you dare touch my son, I will destroy you, even if it costs me everything!!!

The Fifth World.

One of the ten military strongholds established by the powerful beings of the Wujian Gate in the void of the Three Realms, it is guarded by nearly six thousand true immortals and gods, as well as millions of celestial immortals, and several powerful Dao Ancestors.

At this moment, all the immortals and demons felt the Fifth World trembling and shaking.

The earth trembled, the mountains began to collapse, and the sea seemed to boil over, churning up towering waves.

"What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

One after another, true immortals and celestial beings rushed out of the military camp and palace, looking up at the sky.

"Rumble~~~"

From outside the Fifth World, a gigantic hand appeared.

This hand was almost half the size of the entire Fifth World territory. There was a bright light and shadow in the palm, which seemed to be another great world. This enormous hand picked it up and slammed it into the Fifth World where they were.

The terrifying pressure pressed down on them, and even though there were thousands of true immortals and gods around them, they felt their legs tremble and their courage vanish.

"Everyone return to the barracks; our Dao Ancestor will handle things outside."

A towering figure appeared in the air.

"It's the God King." All the true immortals and gods immediately felt relieved.

"It seems that a powerful figure from Nuwa Faction has come to attack."

"They're courting death! Don't they know this is one of the strongholds of our Wujian Gate?"

"Why bother with so much? The affairs of a Dao Ancestor and a great being are none of our business."

"Hurry back to the barracks. If we get caught in the crossfire between powerful beings, it would be too unjust to die."

Those true immortals and gods immediately turned back and rushed back to the military camp and palace, and then a tall, thin man put away all the palaces.

"God King, all the immortals and demons of the Fifth World have been put away." The tall, thin man flew to the towering figure.

"Very good. Ink Bamboo, you take all the immortals and demons to the Myriad Demon Realm for temporary refuge. Leave this to me."

It was clear that the Black-Robed God King was in a good mood, his eyes, visible above the black mist, were full of smiles.

"For the sake of your son, you dared to come to the Fifth World on your own. You deserve to perish today!"

In his plan, the best-case scenario was that Zhou Hao, enraged at discovering his son had been kidnapped to the Fifth World, would immediately pursue and kill him.

Although only his true form came, he could potentially kill Zhou Hao's true True God Dao Ancestor, and then use Zhou Hao's son as leverage to demand the secret that Pure Yang True Immortal possess the strength of True God Dao Ancestor. In that case, the objective of his operation would be perfectly achieved.

That's right.

The Wujian Gate has already discovered and confirmed that Zhou Hao has not actually reached the True God Dao Ancestor realm as he claimed to the outside world; in fact, he is still a True Immortal Heavenly God.

It was only through special means that his combat power reached the level of a top-tier True God Dao Ancestor.

Nuwa Faction has clearly mastered this special method.

Otherwise, the recent whereabouts of the leaders of Buddhism and Daoism, as well as Emperor Suiren-shi, would not have been so secretive, clearly indicating that they were secretly plotting something big.

It is precisely because of this that the Wujian Gate supports the Black-Robed God King and launches an operation against Zhou Hao without hesitation.

"Is it the same secret technique as last time?" The Black-Robed God King sneered as he watched the massive golden hand crash down. "This time, you're not just facing my mental incarnation!"

Boom!

Endless Dark Light emanated from the God King.

Streams of dark light, like rolling rivers, coalesced in the air into a colossal hand, crashing down to meet the descending golden hand.

"Bang!!!"

The entire Fifth World was trembling violently.

The earth cracked open with fissures, and much of the ocean surged into the sky, where it was shattered by the massive impact, turning into countless droplets that vanished before they could even fall to the ground.

"Hmm?" The Black-Robed God King's expression changed.

A tremendous shockwave struck, and even he couldn't control himself, flying backward through the air.

"So much stronger than last time?" The Black-Robed God King looked up at the sky.

Wow.

A crack appeared in the sky above the Fifth World, and a figure dressed in an apricot-yellow Daoist robe, exuding an aura of madness, stepped out.

The shockwave from the collision of the two giant palms, a result of secret techniques, swept over, causing the young man's Daoist robe to flutter wildly, but it did not allow him to retreat even a single step.

"Black Robe!" Zhou Hao exuded an overwhelming aura. "Give me back my son!"

"Want a son?" The God King laughed, and with a flash of light, the sleeping Zhou Yu appeared in his palm.

"The little guy is right here. Come and take it if you dare." The Black-Robed God King's captivating voice echoed in the void.

Seeing that his son's breathing had stabilized, Zhou Hao breathed a slight sigh of relief. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly sensed an incredibly hidden and terrifying threat appearing behind him.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~

A black sword light, flowing like Flowing Water, erupted silently yet with incredible speed from a hundred feet behind him, heading straight for him.

At the same time, a dark figure appeared out of thin air in front of him.

The dark figure instantly multiplied into six before Zhou Hao, each wielding a whip with a sharp blade, resembling a soft sword.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Six dark figures wielding whips swept across the sky, completely obscuring all directions in front of Zhou Hao, like venomous snakes slithering and coiling to surround and kill him.

In an instant, powerful figures attacked Zhou Hao from both sides, while the Black-Robed God King, watching all this from afar, was completely mesmerized.

"Even a leader or powerful figure could not escape unscathed if they were careless in the face of two top-tier Dao Ancestors who are most skilled in assassination."

"No matter how monstrous you are, you're still just a true immortal god." The Black-Robed God King muttered nervously.

Since suffering a great loss in the Earth Ruins Realm last time, he had been suppressing his anger. Now that the anger had finally dissipated, the pleasure of personally orchestrating the downfall of a heaven-defying prodigy brought him immense satisfaction and exhilaration.

The Black-Robed God King carefully examined Zhou Hao, who was trapped in a hopeless situation, trying to see the fear and resentment on his face as he faced death, and the despair of fighting with all his might but being unable to stop his demise.

But the Black-Robed God King was disappointed.

Zhou Hao simply stood there, as if he wasn't the one being surrounded and attacked from both sides.

"The Darklight Sword Lord of the Wujian Gate and the Shadowless Dao Ancestor?" Zhou Hao recognized the newcomers immediately upon seeing the Flowing Water black sword light behind him and the six black figures appearing in front of him.

"They actually sent two of the most skilled assassins, top-tier True God Dao Ancestor, and even used Yu'er to distract me. They've really gone to great lengths."

One is the Darklight Sword Lord, whose sword power has reached the fifth level and who excels in long-range attacks and has extremely strong burst damage. The other is the Shadowless Dao Ancestor, who excels in close combat, cultivates the <Shadowless Demon Codex>, and whose six clones each possess the strength of the original.

"Two top-tier True God Dao Ancestor, almost comparable to leaders, joining forces—three years ago, I'm afraid I would have been helpless and waiting to die." A cold smile appeared on Zhou Hao's face.

It's not just people's hearts that change, but also their strength!

Whew~~~

Zhou Hao's apricot-yellow Daoist robe fluttered and transformed into an Apricot Yellow Banner banner.

Ninety-nine golden lotuses flew out from the banners, instantly enveloping and protecting him.

Almost as soon as Jinlian shielded Zhou Hao, the black sword light emitted by the Darklight Sword Lord arrived.

The sword light, flowing like Flowing Water, was incredibly gentle, yet contained a chilling killing intent.

Each sword light was formed from the fifth layer of sword power emitted by the Darklight Sword Lord, and its power was enough to instantly kill an ordinary True God Dao Ancestor.

Yet, despite the terrifying Flowing Water sword light surrounding the golden lotus, not a single gap could be found to seep in.

Instead, the sword power within the sword light and the magical power within the golden lotus frantically canceled each other out.

"Hmm?" A thin old man appeared in the distance, frowning as he looked at Zhou Hao, who was shrouded in the golden lotus. "A Chaos Treasure?"

With the full power of his sword light, even if Zhou Hao had a supreme innate treasure protecting him, he shouldn't have been completely unaffected.

The thin old man, the "Darklight Sword Lord," immediately transmitted his voice and shouted, "Shadowless, he has a Chaos Treasure protecting him. Bind him!"

With its own sword light entangled and protecting Zhou Hao's golden lotus, as long as the Shadowless Dao Ancestor's whip can bind him, then it can take Zhou Hao away, suppress him, and then refine and kill him with a great formation, just like it did with a true god with an extremely strong divine body.

But Zhou Hao wasn't about to let them succeed so easily.

He swayed and transformed into a giant with Three Heads and Six Arms, then unhesitatingly activated the Blue Flower Water Pearl accumulated within his body.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Six giant hands, some clenched into fists, some thrusting out palms like knives, some forming hand seals and extending fingers, fiercely met the six shadow clones of the Shadowless Dao Ancestor and his whips that were like soft swords.

"Clang clang clang~~~"

"Bang bang bang~~~"

"Hiss hiss hiss~~~"

Zhou Hao and Shadowless Dao Ancestor engaged in close combat, exchanging blows fiercely.

His fist, palm, and finger techniques were so exquisite that they temporarily suppressed even the Shadowless Dao Ancestor.

"Tear."

Like three fingers holding a flower, yet also like the sharpest blade, they tore apart a pitch-black clone.

But the clone was like a real shadow, completely unaffected, and re-condensed on Zhou Hao's arm. The whip in its hand struck Zhou Hao, the sharp blade on the whip drawing sparks on his body, but not even leaving a white mark.

"The divine body is this strong?" The Shadowless Dao Ancestor was shocked.

"Wasn't it said that he was just a True Immortal God, at most having cultivated the ninth level of the Eight-Nine Arcane Art, with a divine body comparable to a mid-grade innate magic weapon? This is clearly an innate supreme treasure, no less than the Vairochana Corpse Rulai! How can we kill him?"

He cultivated both divine and demonic qi, and was also a true god. His divine body was no less powerful than the ninth level of the Eight- Eight-Nine Arcane Art, so he naturally knew how difficult it was to elevate his divine body to the level of an innate treasure.

Among the Three Realms, Rulai the strongest golden body of the Buddha, the leader of Buddhism, can reach such a level, known as indestructible through countless eons, thus establishing his reputation as the best in defense.

Zhou Hao, who is clearly only at the True Immortal Heavenly God realm, has also reached such a level of divine body, which makes even the Shadowless Dao Ancestor feel somewhat at a loss.

Binding and entanglement?

With Zhou Hao's exceptionally skillful hand techniques, there was simply no chance.

If he hadn't possessed the <Shadowless Demon Codex>, which allowed him to freely transform his true form among the six shadows, he would have been the one to die in the frenzied battle.

Relying on his old partner, the Darklight Sword Lord, for support?

The ninety-nine golden lotuses formed from the chaotic treasure blocked all of the Darklight Sword Lord's attacks, and Zhou Hao didn't even glance at them from beginning to end.

Left with no other choice, the Shadowless Dao Ancestor could only desperately try to entangle Zhou Hao, who was steadily approaching the Black-Robed God King, and transmitted his voice, "God King, Dark Light and I cannot defeat him."

All of this may sound slow, but in reality, when powerful beings act, the battles are as swift as lightning.

From the moment Zhou Hao appeared until the two top True God Dao Ancestor attacked, Zhou Hao not only blocked them but also suppressed them, all within a single breath.

"How is this possible!" The Black-Robed God King couldn't believe it.

In his view, with the sneak attacks of the two top True God Dao Ancestor, Dark Light and Shadowless, there were only a handful of people in the Three Realms who could escape. Even he would only meet a bitter end. How could Zhou Hao possibly withstand it? How could he possibly survive?

"Demon Lord, Zhou Hao's strength has exceeded expectations; the first plan has failed."

The Black-Robed God King left in the Realm of the Myriad Demon Realm immediately reported to the Lord of Myriad Demons.

Although his true form was in the Fifth World, even the Shadowless Dao Ancestor was suppressed by Zhou Hao. Unlike the Shadowless Dao Ancestor, who was almost immortal, he dared not easily join the battle.

"I've already sent a telepathic message to the Demon Hand, signaling her to make her move." The Lord of Myriad Demons sighed. "She's only at the True Immortal/Celestial God level, yet she's forced us to deploy a leader-level expert. It seems he was right; if we don't act soon, we won't even have a chance for a final battle."

I just hope that after killing Zhou Hao himself, I can use that little kid's life to obtain the secret to increasing my strength, otherwise...

The Lord of Myriad Demons looked through the Myriad Demon Realm towards the void beyond the Fifth World.

The Lord of Hengmu is using his own strength to hold back the Sanqing, Rulai, Suiren-shi who have arrived, preventing them from entering the Fifth World to rescue Zhou Hao.

Although he is strong, his strength lies more in his unparalleled speed. In terms of defense and control, no one in the Three Realms can compare to Master Hengmu.

Because the Master Hengmu has too many methods, and with multiple methods combined, even Rulai the Sanqing Ones fight desperately and Suiren-shi is furious, they still cannot break into the Fifth World.

Zhou Hao was naturally aware of the great war that was taking place outside the Fifth World.

"Master, I'm fine. You, Rulai, and Suiren-shi just need to make a show of it to attract the attention of the Wujian Gate. There's no need to risk your life," Zhou Hao secretly transmitted to the Sanqing.

"Changsheng, the Wujian Gate still has Wind Demon Mo and Demon Hand who haven't made their move yet. If Dark Light and Shadowless can't defeat you, it's very likely that Demon Hand will come to kill you. Come out quickly, and we'll work together to find a way to save Xiao Yu'er." Sanqing was extremely anxious.

The cave dwellings of the two human emperors, Fuxi-shi and Shennong-shi, are outside the Chaos Realm; it will take time for them to arrive.

Even if the two Human Emperors arrived, the most they could do to enter the Fifth World was to save Zhou Hao.

It's going to be incredibly difficult to rescue Zhou Yu, who has fallen into the hands of the Black-Robed God King.

Bodhi on their side is the most skilled in the art of space-time, able to instantly appear beside the Black-Robed God King, but that can only be used for attack, not for saving anyone.

Zhou Yu, with only a primordial spirit level and a divine demonic body, is too weak. If he rashly tries to save someone, he could easily kill him.

After all, Xiao Zhou Yu was in the palm of the Black-Robed God King, and the Black-Robed God King only needed a trace of divine power to turn him into ashes.

Zhou Hao could tell from his master's anxiety.

But he couldn't leave.

"If I can't save my son, how can I face Yu'er, how can I face Xi Yue?"

"Just one chance, I only need one chance."

Zhou Hao didn't show it on his face, but he was secretly anxious.

Although he was engaged in a fierce close-quarters battle with the Shadowless Dao Ancestor and seemed to be ignoring the Darklight Sword Lord behind him, he was actually keeping a close eye on the Darklight Sword Lord's every move.

The Darklight Sword Lord and the Shadowless Dao Ancestor are very different. The Dark Light Ancestor Immortal only achieved the status of an Qi Refining Path, and is a sword immortal who can unleash magical weapons from a distance to deliver fatal attacks.

While their burst damage is strong, their sustained combat ability is relatively weak.

At this point, he had exhausted most of his magical power and began to replenish it with elixirs. The Flowing Water black sword light also slowed down a bit compared to before.

"Shadowless is a true god, and he has six shadow clones. It's too difficult to find his true body. Yu'er is also in the hands of the black-robed man. The only one who might allow me to get my hands on him is Dark Light." Zhou Hao's moves became increasingly fierce, forcing Shadowless Dao Ancestor to keep up, and the frequency with which his true body switched between the shadows also increased.

"Why hasn't the Demon Hand made its move yet?" The Darklight Sword Lord was getting impatient.

Both he and Shadowless were more adept at assassinations and surprise attacks, enjoying the exhilarating feeling of taking their opponent's life in a single, explosive moment.

Now that Shadowless is entangled in a fierce battle and at a disadvantage, unable to break through the obstacles of those damned golden lotuses, his state of mind is somewhat fluctuating.

"Dark Light, Shadowless, you're utterly useless. You couldn't even take down a little guy."

A woman in purple appeared in the sky above the Fifth World.

She was petite with a pretty face, and her hands were crystal clear, like the most perfect works of art in the world.

But her killing intent shook the entire Fifth World.

When the Sanqing, Rulai, and Suiren-shi in the outer void saw this woman in purple appear, their expressions all changed.

"Changsheng, the Demon Hand has arrived! Come out quickly!" the Sanqing transmitted their voices.

"Young friend Zhou Hao, the Demon Hand's strength is no less than ours; he is a true leader. Do not act rashly," Rulai his voice.

"Zhou Hao, come out first. Only by ensuring your own safety can you have a chance to save the baby," Suiren-shi transmitted telepathically.

Zhou Hao ignored him, not only becoming more ruthless but also displaying an increasingly intense madness in his eyes.

"Whoever stands in my way shall die!" Zhou Hao slapped away the six shadow clones of the Shadowless Dao Ancestor with six consecutive palm strikes, and then rushed straight towards the Black-Robed God King.

"Ha, what arrogance." The purple-clad woman, ' Demonic Hand Dao Ancestor,' sneered and stretched out her crystal-clear white hand to grab Zhou Hao, who was rushing towards her.

"He's doomed! Even if his divine body rivals that of a primordial treasure, it's no match for the Demon Hand. He'll only be suppressed and killed." The Darklight Sword Lord breathed a sigh of relief, but his attacks didn't stop at all.

He wanted to entangle the protective golden lotus emitted by Zhou Hao's Chaos Treasure, creating an opportunity for the Demonic Hand Dao Ancestor to kill Zhou Hao.

Otherwise, if he withdrew now, that crazy woman would definitely cause him trouble.

Don't let the petite and pretty appearance of the Demonic Hand Dao Ancestor fool you; she is a true killing madman, a demon among demons!

He was a great demon that even the most powerful members of the Wujian Gate feared!

Boom!

The Demonic Hand Dao Ancestor's crystalline palm swept across the sky.

With a simple grab, Zhou Hao's possible movements forward were completely blocked. The exquisiteness of the move and the pressure it exerted on Zhou Hao were far greater than the combined pressure from the six shadow clones of the Shadowless Dao Ancestor.

That claw strike was unavoidable.

Zhou Hao instantly understood.

But why should I avoid it?

Boom!

Zhou Hao also extended his palm and fiercely countered with the ' Great Chaos Hole Palm ' technique.

Suddenly, Zhou Hao's palm grew larger, and the light emanating from the Divine Pattern on his palm made his entire hand appear as if it were cast from pure gold.

Wow~~~

Within the golden palm, a vast world gradually emerged, with the Tai Chi symbol dividing into Yin and Yang, and the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth giving rise to their energy.

It was after three years of secluded cultivation that Zhou Hao fully mastered the second level of the ' Great Chaos Hole Palm ' divine power.

"Changsheng, don't fight her head-on!" The Sanqing were completely panicked.

The Great Chaos Hole Palm was created by him, so its power is obvious.

Unless one achieves the third level of mastery, capable of destroying the vast world created by their palm, their profound understanding of destroying the Heavenly Dao is enough to rival even the Demonic Hand Dao Ancestor.

The second level of supernatural power alone is far from enough, especially since this is a supernatural power performed by a divine body and divine power, and his disciple is strong in the Golden Core stage of magic power...

"Bang!"

A gigantic golden hand slammed directly onto the crystalline jade hand that seemed poised to crush the entire Fifth World.

Boom!

The delicate, jade-like hand suddenly stopped, forced to halt by Zhou Hao's supernatural palm technique.

"Could this power be a celestial being?" The Demonic Hand Dao Ancestor looked at Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao was sent flying far away by her attack.

"Wrong."

"His strength is in no way inferior to mine, so how could he have been thrown away by the force of the impact?"

The Demonic Hand Dao Ancestor's expression changed as he saw that the direction Zhou Hao had thrown was precisely where the Darklight Sword Lord was, and the Darklight Sword Lord was using sword light to entwine golden lotuses, attempting to bind and take away the Chaos Treasure.

"Dark Light, watch out for Zhou Hao!"

A hurried voice rang in his ears, and the Darklight Sword Lord's heart skipped a beat.

Zhou Hao's figure moved like lightning, already close to him.

"Not good." A burst of black light suddenly erupted in front of the Darklight Sword Lord, rushing towards Zhou Hao like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, trying to engulf him.

As a top-tier expert who has experienced countless battles, how could he not have the means to deal with being suddenly approached?

However, while he was focused on defending against Zhou Hao's close-range attack, he neglected the protective golden lotus that had been solely focused on countering his sword light.

"My Apricot Yellow Banner is not just for self-defense." Zhou Hao's eyes gleamed, and the pure Yang magic power in his golden core surged into the Apricot Yellow Banner.

The golden lotuses suddenly shone brightly, instantly enveloping the Darklight Sword Lord.

Then Zhou Hao waved his five arms, scattering the black light, and with one arm he grabbed a pale yellow tattered cloth and swept past the golden lotus that was gathered together.

Brush!

With a sweep of his arm, both the Golden Lotus of the Apricot Yellow Banner and the Darklight Sword Lord vanished.

"It's done!"

"First bound by the Apricot Yellow Banner, then trapped by the Cosmos Diagram, even if the Dark Light were ten times stronger, there would be no way to escape!" Zhou Hao was excited, but dared not delay even for a moment.

Because he feared further unforeseen events.

The captured Darklight Sword Lord was the only way he could think of to rescue Xiao Zhou Yu.

Brush!

Zhou Hao directly stored the ' Cosmos Diagram ' Darklight Sword Lord and the Apricot Yellow Banner into his Golden Core space, then broke through the void and stepped out of the Fifth World.

... The entire Fifth World fell silent.

A top-tier Dao Ancestor, whose swordsmanship had reached the fifth level and who was most skilled in assassination... was suppressed and captured alive.

PS:

The next update will be quite late, as there are more things to consider for the key chapters.

Suifeng has been working really hard lately, so please give him your support, everyone!

The data is pretty bad. If it weren't for fulfilling his promise not to abandon the Suifeng, most authors would have already given up...
