A Hidden Move?

"An alien race."

"Stop."

Accompanied by two angry shouts.

Two towering figures appeared high in the sky.

They possessed incredibly massive bodies; even the scorpion gods and demons formed by all the warriors of the First Army were less than half the size of these two behemoths.

Both figures have human-like bodies covered in scales, but one is entirely covered in purple scales, while the other is entirely black.

Beneath the three pairs of golden horns on their foreheads, the two figures had silver eyes. As Zhou Hao waved his hand and killed all the remaining warriors, the one covered in purple scales had murderous intent in his eyes, and three scorpion tail spikes behind him stabbed directly at Zhou Hao from three directions.

"Damn alien race!" roared the purple-scaled being.

"You are the alien race!" Having dealt with all the warriors of the Purple Scorpion World, Zhou Hao locked onto the incoming attack with his mind, his hands flying, carrying black and white air currents to strike the two scorpion tail stingers on the left and right.

Clang! Clang!

The two scorpion stingers flew backward.

Taking advantage of the momentum, Zhou Hao retreated and, incredibly, grabbed the last scorpion tail that was thrusting towards him with both hands.

Then he used the momentum to pull himself forward with all his might.

Call!

The purple-scaled being standing high in the sky was suddenly pulled down by him.

"Boom!" The earth shook violently.

The basin where the First Army was originally stationed was completely flattened in the blink of an eye, with all the surrounding High Mountain collapsing and crumbling.

"Damn it!" The purple-scaled being, who had just gotten up, went berserk. He hadn't been humiliated like this in years.

In particular, the fact that one of his scorpion tails was severed in the first exchange of blows, even though he could regenerate it with a surge of divine power, still enraged him with the mocking behavior of the lava aliens.

"Purple Scorpion, his divine body is stronger than ours, don't confront him head-on." After transmitting this message to the Purple Scorpion True God, the being with jet-black scales unleashed a spell.

"Rumble~~~"

Suddenly, a large amount of black water appeared out of thin air, like long black ropes wrapping around Zhou Hao.

At the same time, he took out a small, crystal-clear silk net and threw it into the air. With a 'whoosh,' it unfolded and instantly covered an area of nearly 100,000 zhang in radius.

"No matter how strong your divine body is, once you are bound by my ' Sky Silk Net,' you will only face death." The killing intent in the heart of Dao Ancestor Black Scorpion for the alien race that killed more than 80,000 of his people was no less than that of Purple Scorpion True God.

They are both members of the Scorpion Clan from beyond the Three Realms. They are born without distinguishing between male and female, and they reproduce through splitting their bodies.

Due to a fortuitous event in his childhood, the life form of the Black Scorpion Ancestor mutated. Although he had an extra offspring avatar compared to ordinary people, he was unable to reproduce. Therefore, all the people of the Purple Scorpion World were born from the Purple Scorpion True God.

But for this very reason, the Black Scorpion Dao Ancestor valued his clansmen even more than the Purple Scorpion True God.

"A true god and a Dao ancestor?" Zhou Hao shattered the black water rope that was wrapping around him with his palm. Black and white energy rose around his body, forming a huge black and white Taiji Diagram above his head. It rotated and held up the falling spiritual treasure net, preventing it from covering him. Then he engaged in a fierce battle with the Purple Scorpion True God.

Thud! Thud! Thud!...

The earth, which had just calmed down, shook violently once again. Even when fighting two opponents with all his might, Zhou Hao, relying solely on the divine power of his Divine Demon Body and various supernatural abilities and mysterious techniques, became stronger and stronger with each battle.

Yes, that's exactly it.

While fighting the Scorpion Demon God, he had already vaguely conceived the idea of breaking through the Taiji Power and the Limitless Power.

However, the pressure from the Scorpion God and Demon was still somewhat weak, as if he could clearly see the road ahead, but there was still a thin mist obscuring his view.

Now, a Purple Scorpion True God and an Black Scorpion Dao Ancestor, one engaged in close combat and the other provided ranged assistance, the two alien races cooperated tacitly. When they joined forces, they could even contend with top-tier True God Dao Ancestor, and the pressure they brought to Zhou Hao far exceeded that of the Scorpion God and Demon.

The two fundamental forces that had been holding Zhou Hao back from their bottlenecks were suddenly blasted away by a strong gust of wind under this pressure, causing the thin mist in front of him to dissipate completely.

As Zhou Hao threw his punch, the faint black and white energy that had been swirling around his arm and fist suddenly formed a Taiji Diagram.

This wasn't something Zhou Hao intentionally manipulated to form; rather, it was a natural combination of the two primal energies that had broken through to the fourth level.

Boom!!!

The Purple Scorpion True God felt as if his attack was caught in an endless vortex. At the same time, the alien's fist surged with power, an overwhelming and unstoppable force flowing through his hands, arms, shoulders, and even his entire upper body...

Pfft~~~

Purple blood splattered, and to the horrified gaze of the Black Scorpion Dao Ancestor, the upper body of the Purple Scorpion True God exploded completely.

Although he immediately expended divine power to restore his divine body, divine power is the life core and source of strength of a true god. With such a great loss, the Purple Scorpion True God was even less able to withstand the incredibly ferocious Lava Alien race after its breakthrough.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Purple Scorpion True God's three scorpion tails were all severed by Zhou Hao's palm strike, and his two arms, which he tried to resist, were also torn off by Zhou Hao.

"Black Scorpion, save me!" Purple Scorpion True God screamed in pain, but what was even more unbearable than the physical pain was the fear of sensing the approach of death.

The Black Scorpion Dao Ancestor gritted his teeth and transformed into a stream of black water, rushing towards Zhou Hao.

"Purple Scorpion, run!"

He also has a secondary clone hiding in the clan's territory. Even if the original mother body perishes, the secondary clone can restore the original mother body. However, if the Purple Scorpion True God dies here, then he is truly dead.

"Neither of you can escape!" Zhou Hao laughed, his hands conjuring countless forms as he frantically struck the inky black water that was blocking his way.

Unexpectedly, the black water flow was extremely resilient. With his attack speed, he could unleash thousands of palm strikes in a single breath. Even so, it took him nearly three breaths to dissipate all the black water flow.

During this brief respite, the Purple Scorpion True God had already transformed into a streak of light and fled into the depths of the continent.

"Let's see where you can run to." Zhou Hao identified the direction and took a wild chase, his tens of thousands of feet long leaving a large, dented footprint in the ground with each step.

When encountering High Mountain or rivers blocking the way, they simply ignore them and trample them flat with their bare feet.

Only when encountering bizarre and dangerous places that even mental energy and consciousness cannot penetrate, where space and time are distorted, will Zhou Hao take a detour to avoid them.

Purple Scorpion True God, who was deliberately leading Zhou Hao into a dead end, was extremely arrogant.

"Where did this alien race come from? They're incredibly fierce in battle, yet so cautious in their actions."

The divine power avatar left behind by the Purple Scorpion True God in the clan's territory looked anxiously at the Black Scorpion Dao Ancestor: "Elder brother, what should we do? If this continues, he will catch up with me sooner or later."

"Don't panic." Even the Black Scorpion Dao Ancestor, whose only remaining clone was still standing, looked grim. "Take that alien race in circles and try to buy time by taking it to dangerous places. I'll go see my master and ask for help right away."

"Please, Master?"

Before the Purple Scorpion True God appeared a terrifying figure with a long, emerald-green tail and an extremely bloody and sinister aura.

"Will our master come to our rescue?" The Purple Scorpion True God was somewhat uncertain.

After all, their master was the strongest being on the Endless Continent. Even the four strongest emperors were just servants under their master's command. Given their strength, the two brothers would not normally be qualified to ask for an audience so rashly.

"Such a powerful alien race is probably comparable to the Four Great Sovereigns. Master will be interested in information about such a powerful being," said Dao Ancestor Black Scorpion. "Even if Master disdains to take action, as long as we can get one of his six servants to help, we brothers will be saved."

"Alright, elder brother, you go quickly. I'll lead that alien race around first. If it doesn't work, I'll take him to the ' Void Sea '," the Purple Scorpion True God said resentfully.

Their territory, the ' Purple Scorpion World,' is considered a treasure land even on the edge of the Endless Continent, with no particularly terrible or dangerous environments within it.

However, tens of millions of miles away from the Purple Scorpion World, there is a place known as the ' Void Sea ', which is said to be the most dangerous place on the Endless Continent.

That was a place as large as dozens of Purple Scorpion World, a desolate place where no living being could ever survive or stay.

"You just need to stall for time as much as possible. Even a top-grade innate spiritual treasure would be instantly annihilated if it went into the Void Sea. Even if you lure that alien race there, it won't go in." After giving a few more instructions, Dao Ancestor Black Scorpion tore open the void and traveled away.

For a Dao Ancestor who has comprehended and mastered a Heavenly Dao and begun to comprehend the mysteries of the Chaos Heavenly Dao, even in the Ancient Ruins World, he can still traverse the void.

Moreover, since they can draw upon the power of chaos from chaos, they are naturally not afraid of consuming their magical power.

Deep within the Ancient Ruins lies a domed fortress gleaming with a dark gold hue.

Inside the domed fortress.

On the magnificent throne, a powerful alien being with a long, emerald-green tail and an eerily handsome face sat listening to a middle-aged human man speak eloquently.

"Great Demon God of Cixiu, this is my master's intention. Simply have your powerful subordinates feign a secret alliance with our Wujian Gate, and the Nuwa Faction will be unable to stand idly by and will send strong warriors to eliminate them. Then, we only need to set up arrays and traps in various dangerous locations across the ruined continent, and we can inflict some losses on the Nuwa Faction before the final battle..."

This middle-aged human man possessed an aura of only a Celestial Immortal, yet he spoke eloquently before the powerful alien being. He was barefoot, with his long hair flowing freely, appearing unrestrained and seemingly indifferent to the powerful alien being who could crush him with a mere flick of his wrist.

The alien powerhouse, ' Cixiu Great Demon God,' rested his chin on one hand and gently tapped the armrest with the other. Only after the middle-aged human man finished speaking, picked up the wine jar, took a sip of wine to moisten his throat, and then spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Wu Xiao, you were once the spirit of the ' Wu Xiao Divine Cauldron,' but after that fool Wan Wu died, you were enslaved by the Wind Demon and are now working for that bunch of natives from the Wujian Gate." The Great Demon God of Cixiu said with a smile, "We're old acquaintances, so instead of risking your life for a bunch of natives, you might as well join me."

"You?" Wu Xiao Xiaotianxian said indifferently, "I don't care. As long as you can defeat my current master, the Lord of Myriad Demons, I'm perfectly willing to submit to you."

He was the spirit of the Chaos Treasure ' Wu Xiao Divine Cauldron ', and had long since cultivated to be no different from a normal living being. What was here was merely his puppet body. Even if it were destroyed, he would not care at all, and naturally he was not afraid of the Great Demon God of Cixiu.

This is also why the Wujian Gate sent him to convey a message to the Great Demon God of Cixiu and discuss cooperation.

Even other powerful beings, including his master, the ' Lord of Myriad Demons,' would not dare to risk coming to this domed fortress.

After all, even the ' Lord of All Things ' who single-handedly caused the destruction of the two chaotic worlds of Pangu and Wujian might not be stronger than the Great Demon God Cixiu, who is one of the most powerful alien races among the Ancestor God.

At this time--

"Master, great master."

Shouts suddenly came from outside the fortress.

"Your most loyal servant, ' Black Scorpion,' has come to see his master."

Black Scorpion?

"Let him in."

"With more subordinates, things become more complicated. We'll talk about your matter later," the Great Demon God Cixiu said with a smile to the Wu Xiao Immortal Wu Xiao, conveniently changing the subject by mentioning Black Scorpion's request for an audience.

Should he be sent to defeat the Lord of Myriad Demons?

What has been my purpose in lurking in these Ancient Ruins for so many years?

All this is for conquering the Three Realms and refining the entire Chaos Great World into the 'Heart of the World'.

What made him wary and prevented him from truly taking action, besides the methods and clan-protecting techniques that Nuwa might have left behind before becoming World God and leaving the Three Realms, was his fear of the ' Lord of Myriad Demons ' of the Wujian Gate.

Before arriving in the Three Realms, the Great Demon God Cixiu had roamed the endless chaos and visited countless chaotic worlds. He knew all too well what it meant that the Lord of Myriad Demons could escape with a group of powerful beings in front of the World God.

This means that in terms of his understanding of the Dao, the Lord of Myriad Demons has reached an inconceivable level, and even in the Dao of wind and space alone, he has surpassed the scope of ordinary World God.

In the eyes of the Great Demon God Cixiu, the Lord of Myriad Demons of the Wujian Gate is the strongest being in the Three Realms and the most promising genius to reach the World God realm after Nuwa.

Even if he looked down on the natives, he dared not underestimate such a prodigy.

The fact that the Great Demon God of Cixiu was avoided was not a concern to Wu Xiao. He stood aside with a smile, carrying a wine jar, watching a foreign race covered in jet-black scales enter respectfully.

"Make me submit to you?" Wu Xiao Xiaotian sneered inwardly. "Back then, all things were my master. To keep me forever as a puppeteer for him, he forbade me from cultivating. If it weren't for my current master, the Lord of Myriad Demons, I would still be a mere artifact spirit. How could I be living such a wonderful life now?"

In his heart, besides the first master who refined him, the second most important person was the one who gave him the cultivation method of spiritual treasures and made him the current master of all living beings Lord of Myriad Demons.

As Black Scorpion Daozu entered the fortress, he saw his master, Cixiu Mo Shen, sitting on the throne, flanked by six golden-armored figures, who were Da Mo Shen's six great servants.

As for the insignificant Celestial Immortal Wu Xiao, he didn't even notice him.

"Great Master." Dao Ancestor Black Scorpion knelt respectfully. "The Purple Scorpion World is being invaded by a strange alien race with the strength of a top-tier True God Dao Ancestor. My mother avatar has already perished, and your other servant, ' Purple Scorpion,' is dragging that alien race away. I beg your help, Master."

Could it be that more natives from the Three Realms have come to venture forth and hone their skills?

The Great Demon God Cixiu was indeed intrigued and ordered, "Show me the scene of your battle."

Over the years, though he has remained hidden deep within the ruins of the continent, he has never given up his covetousness for the Three Realms.

In particular, observing the natives of the Three Realms who came to hone Nuwa skills and deducing from their battles and struggles was the most important thing for the Great Demon God of Cixiu.

After all, this is a chaotic world that has given birth to World God, so being extremely careful is never too much.

Standing in the corner, Wu Xiao Xiaotianxian appeared to be leisurely drinking, but in reality, he was also listening intently.

His true form is in the Realm of the Myriad Demon Realm, and he knows that no powerful figure at the level of a top Dao Ancestor has come to the Ancient Ruins.

Since they're not from the Wujian Gate, they must be a powerful figure from Nuwa Faction.

"Who could it be?" The image of top-tier True God Dao Ancestor flashed through Wu Xiao Xiaotian's mind.

Wow~~~

As the Black Scorpion Dao Ancestor pointed to the void beside him.

A scene immediately appeared before the group of powerful beings.

The image was of Zhou Hao, transformed into a lava god-demon, annihilating the warriors of the Purple Scorpion World's First Army, and it was also the scene when Dao Ancestor Black Scorpion first met Zhou Hao.

"Judging from his body, he seems to be from the ancient god-demon clan of the Zhurong Clan, but his appearance is that of a human." Wu Xiao Xiaotian frowned.

A true god who has never shown himself in the Three Realms... a hidden force within Nuwa Faction?
