First Battle, the Terror of Godslayer!

Void Holy City.

Quiet room.

Zhou Hao sat cross-legged on the black stone platform, his skin faintly glowing with a black light.

Ancient Divine Pattern swirled around his body, making him resemble a terrifying magical artifact.

"Buzz~~~"

All the Divine Pattern disappeared into his skin, and the black light dissipated. Zhou Hao raised his hand and saw that the skin on his arm was still fair, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

"Fortunately, after mastering the <Chaos Cavern Tribulation Stone Body>, my body won't turn into a visualized Shitou golem." Zhou Hao flipped his hand, and Darklight Swords appeared. "Let's test its power."

"Whoosh!"

The Darklight Swords instantly transformed into a black sword light, slashing directly at his left arm.

Clang~~~

After the loud bang, there wasn't even a white mark on his arm.

"Once this introductory chapter is mastered, my divine body will rival that of a top-grade Chaos Treasure. Even my master's Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation would be dumbfounded in comparison. It truly lives up to its reputation as the most important divine power in the Starry Sky Holy Lord's inheritance, the foundation of the entire <Void Chaos Hole Scripture>." Zhou Hao was extremely pleased. He rubbed his hands together, and the azure mist energy 'Original Force' within his body surged forth.

call.

The Force condensed in the air into a ' Tai Chi Divine Thunder ' as big as a basket, and then, under Zhou Hao's control, it blasted directly into his own chest.

"Bang!"

A loud rumble filled the quiet room, but there wasn't even a trace of white on Zhou Hao's chest.

"Haha, the Tai Chi Divine Thunder can even shatter chaos, making it one of the most powerful ancestral thunders, yet it couldn't even make me feel pain. What a wonderful divine power!" Zhou Hao was in high spirits.

I've been in the Void Holy City for almost five years.

Two years have passed since the last time the Longevity Realm was created.

Even with ample Chaos Spirit Liquid and the help of the black stone platform to restore his soul, it still took him five years to master the introductory chapter of this supernatural power. This shows just how difficult it is to cultivate the <Chaos Cavern Tribulation Stone Body>.

But everything has its advantages and disadvantages.

It's difficult to get started, but the results are remarkable once you master it.

A divine body at the level of a top-grade Chaos Treasure is rare even among the World God. I myself have only reached the True God realm on the path of gods and demons. What is there to complain about in possessing a divine body of this level?

"The Chaos Cavern Tribulation Stone Body technique really requires a lot of energy. Following the proper method of absorbing chaotic energy to cultivate, it would probably take at least five million years to even begin to grasp the basics." Zhou Hao sighed and shook his head, looking at the less than one hundred cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid remaining in his Storage Bracelet. "This little bit of Chaos Spirit Liquid is simply not enough to cultivate the middle section of the Chaos Cavern Tribulation Stone Body technique. I'll save it for now."

One unit of Chaos Spirit Liquid is one thousand bottles.

After completing the second test, Zhou Hao received a full thousand cubic meters, which is one million bottles.

He thought that with so much Chaos Spirit Liquid, what supernatural power couldn't he cultivate? But reality is just that cruel.

The mere fact that he could cultivate three new avatars that had reached the Ancestor Immortal realm surprised Zhou Hao.

Originally, a single Blue Flower clone, which cultivated to the True Immortal realm, only required about one hundred and ten bottles of Chaos Spirit Liquid.

Logically speaking, even if the consumption of Chaos Spirit Liquid increases a hundredfold after entering the Ancestor Immortal, eleven thousand bottles of Chaos Spirit Liquid would still be sufficient.

But who would have thought that when Zhou Hao destroyed his three external clones and started cultivating again, he consumed a full 300,000 bottles of Chaos Spirit Liquid...

In other words, it would take him 100,000 bottles of Chaos Spirit Liquid, a full 100 cubic meters, to cultivate a new Ancestor Immortal clone with the Blue Flower.

Cultivating three clones consumed three hundred cubic units of Chaos Spirit Liquid, and cultivating twelve clones to master the ' Chaos Cavern Tribulation Stone Body ' divine power consumed nearly six hundred cubic units.

According to the description of the middle chapter of the <Chaos Cavern Tribulation Stone Body> technique, the required energy is a thousand times that of the introductory chapter... That is, 600,000 cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid, in order to make the divine body reach the level of a top-grade Dao Divine Weapon, comparable to the level of a mid-grade Eternal Divine Weapon.

"Let's go find Jin One and the others to break through the barrier!" Zhou Hao jumped up from the black stone platform and strode out of the quiet room.

The remaining eleven clones also emerged from the Dao Treasury Hall, forming a total of twelve Zhou Hao. They stormed out of the temple and headed towards the twelve towering, golden-armored giants in the distance.

The most imposing of them all, Jin One, opened his eyes and looked down at them.

"Only five years of cultivation, and you're already confident enough to take on this challenge?" Jin One's lips curled into a smile. "Although the third trial only has a time limit—you must pass it within one Chaos Era, and there's no limit to the number of times you can challenge it, nor is there any danger to your life—we won't show any mercy."

"I won't kill you, I'll just beat you half to death, leaving you some divine strength to maintain your body... That won't feel good either."

"It's not certain who'll get beaten half to death." Zhou Hao raised an eyebrow. "Ask Jin Twelve how it felt to get beaten up last time."

"That was because I wasn't prepared," Jin Twelve retorted, sticking out his neck. "Who knew that the energy within you was so strange? You broke through with the power of the Qi Refining path, yet it acted on your divine body like divine power."

"If you're not convinced, let's have another round," Zhou Hao challenged. "Not just Jin Twelve, all eleven of you can take turns. I'll accept even a tag-team battle. But if I defeat you all, then I'll pass the third test."

"Haha, of course not," Jin One laughed. "If you want to test your skills, you can choose any one or a few of us as sparring partners, but if it's a test, then all twelve of us will attack together."

"Whether you have nine clones, twelve clones, or even a thousand clones, as long as you haven't reached the World Realm, the third test will be a joint effort by all twelve of us. This is a rule set by our master, and no one may change it."

Sigh... I won't fall for it.

Zhou Hao sighed inwardly.

Then there's no way to do it.

"Let's fight!"

Call!

Zhou Hao's twelve clones simultaneously unleashed a combined attack formation.

"Rumble~~~~" Endless power of heaven and earth surged wildly, converging towards him.

The sky seemed to have collapsed.

In the blink of an eye.

A demon god named Zhou Hao, standing a million feet tall, appeared, looking down upon the dwarf World Realm puppets below.

The overwhelming aura pressed down, and even Jin One, the strongest of the twelve World Realm puppets, paled in shock.

"Deploy the ' Twelve Heavens Secret Net Formation '," Jin One ordered.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...

A dazzling light suddenly appeared around the twelve World Realm puppets.

The rays of light formed a rune array in the air, with ancient and strange characters floating above it, completely enveloping the twelve World Realm puppets.

"Condense."

As if twelve World Realm puppets spoke at the same time, a towering golden-armored giant suddenly appeared in mid-air.

This golden-armored giant has twelve heads and twenty-four arms, and the original appearance of the Jin One puppet can still be seen on each head.

Twenty-four arms, some thick and some thin, gripped different magical treasures. A terrifying aura, powerful enough to shake the heavens and earth, permeated the air. The workings of the Heavenly Dao in this Chaos Great World seemed to freeze for a moment, trembling after the appearance of this golden-armored giant.

"Boy, we won't take advantage of you. We'll tell you the true nature of this ' Twelve Heavens Secret Net Formation ' first, so you won't say you were caught off guard when you lose." The golden-armored giant revealed a Jin One- faced head that spoke loudly.

"Boss." The leader beside him, ' Jin Twelve,' said with some dissatisfaction.

"Haha, Twelve, I'll let you get your revenge in a bit." Jin One laughed and comforted ' Jin Twelve ' before continuing, "Our formation is called the ' Twelve Heavens Secret Net Formation.' It can connect the chaotic worlds opened up within the World Realm cultivators into one. At the same time, the twelve formation setters' minds are united, without distinction between each other. Each can be the core, and the power of each person's ultimate move can increase tenfold or a hundredfold."

"A surge of tenfold or a hundredfold?" Zhou Hao was shocked.

"Yes," Jin Twelve said with a smile, "Like this."

Boom!

A majestic, golden mountain appeared out of nowhere, smashing Zhou Hao to the ground.

Even though his divine body was already at the level of a top-grade chaotic treasure, a white dent appeared on his back, causing him to involuntarily groan in pain.

Depend on!

It's you again, Jin Twelve...

In his grief and anger, Zhou Hao shattered the towering divine peak on his body with a ' Great Chaos Hole Palm ', then transformed into Three Heads and Six Arms and charged towards the golden-armored giant.

Boom boom boom boom boom...

Half an incense stick later.

"Cough, cough, cough." Zhou Hao, whose internal energy was exhausted and who had reverted to twelve clones, lay on the ground, feeling pain all over his body and not even having the strength to lift a finger.

"Tsk tsk." Jin Twelve, carrying his magical hammer, squatted to the side, watching Zhou Hao with a half-smile, "Kid, I thought you could last a whole incense stick's time, but you collapsed after only half an incense stick's time. Sigh..."

Other World Realm puppets sat to the side, each with a smile on their face.

After sleeping for nearly thirty million chaotic eras, it finally has a chance to make its move.

Moreover, this little guy will keep them entertained for an entire Chaos Era; just thinking about it makes me happy.

"Jin One," Zhou Hao said loudly while absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to recover, "Does this mean that whenever I want to test my skills, I can designate any one of you as my opponent, and you can't refuse?"

"You..." Jin Twelve's face stiffened, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

"That's right," Jin One nodded. "This is the meaning of our existence."

"Alright." Feeling somewhat recovered, Zhou Hao stood up and pointed at Jin Twelve, "Jin Twelve, after that battle, I've gained some insights. Come and practice your moves with me."

"Young Master Zhou," Jin Twelve said with a fawning smile, "You've expended so much energy, you need more time to recover. Besides, you fought me last time, you know my signature move, that same one suppression technique, it's never anything new."

"It's alright, I'm a sentimental person." Zhou Hao cast the combined attack formation again.

"No, Brother Zhou! Brother Zhou!" Jin Twelve exclaimed repeatedly. "I think you're best at palm and fist techniques, as is our boss, Jin Yi. And then there's Jin Er, whose escape techniques are the strongest and fastest. Jin San plays with fire, Jin Si controls water, Jin Wu and Jin Liu wield weapons, and Jin Qi and Jin Ba are masters of the multi-treasure style, possessing the most magical treasures."

Zhou Hao looked at Jin Twelve, who seemed to be reciting a tongue twister, and couldn't help but laugh, "What about the remaining three?"

"Jin Nine and Jin Ten are both mental power practitioners, one specializing in charm and the other in Godslayer. They are rare even in the endless chaos, especially Jin Ten's ' Godslayer,' you must see it." Jin Twelve hurriedly said, "Eleventh Brother and I only have suppression and binding techniques, they're not that interesting."

An old man holding a whisk in the distance, hearing Jin Twelve's words, sighed and remarked to the other puppets beside him, "It's no wonder I doted on Twelve the most; this is where it truly shines..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jin Twelve continued, "Of course, Eleventh Brother's binding technique ' Thousand Rivers ' is a water-based secret art, much more effective for testing than mine. I only know how to suppress..."

"I don't want anyone else, it's you." Zhou Hao looked down at him. "It doesn't matter if you only know how to suppress, as long as you can take a beating."

"I..." Jin Twelve was about to say something more when Zhou Hao unleashed a ' Fantian Seal ' that came crashing down on his head and face.

Boom!

Jin Twelve's head was dented from the blow, and then Zhou Hao struck him in the chest with another ' Great Chaos Hole Palm ', knocking his head out of the dent.

Swoosh.

Jin Twelve was sent flying backward at high speed, traveling for over a million miles before finally stopping.

"He deserves to be beaten," Jin Eleven said hatefully. "I'd only feel better if he were smashed to pieces."

After venting his anger on Jin Twelve, Zhou Hao looked at the twelve World Realm puppets and couldn't help but scratch his head.

"My divine body is comparable to a top-grade chaotic treasure, and the combined power of my twelve Blue Flower clones is close to that of World God. However, against the combined might of these twelve, the gap is still too great."

Zhou Hao recalled that during their earlier fight, the twelve World Realm puppets, formed by combining magic arrays, moved at their maximum speed, covering 1.2 million miles in an instant, which was twice the speed of light. Even if he risked his life, he couldn't catch up.

This doesn't even include the binding methods used by Jin Eleven and Jin Twelve, or the mysterious mental techniques employed by Jin Nine and Jin Ten.

Especially the Jin Ten.

Zhou Hao looked at the young man in the distance whose eyes were lifeless and whose face was extremely pale.

The reason he didn't even last the duration of an incense stick was because he was struck by a cold knife.

He hadn't taken it seriously at first. After all, although the combined power of twelve World Realm puppets was terrifying, comparable to a super being at the peak of the World Realm, they were still no match for his ' Chaos Cavern Tribulation Stone Body ' divine power.

Little did he know that the seemingly insignificant cold blade contained a strange divine power; just by striking his body, nearly one-tenth of his primal force vanished into nothingness.

It's important to understand that at that time, I wasn't in a state where my divine body was destroyed and I was completely defenseless when I was in an energy state.

"It's like having my divine body's defenses ignored, and my primal force being directly eroded..." Zhou Hao muttered to himself. "If it weren't for the Starry Sky Holy Lord's rule that prevented me from harming my life, Jin Ten would have only unleashed nine strikes. If he had struck one more, I'm afraid I would have died from exhaustion of my primal force."

Even now, thinking back on that terrifying attack that ignored the divine body's defenses, Zhou Hao still felt a chill run down his spine, and he deeply remembered the words "Godslayer" that Jin Twelve had said.

While Zhou Hao was reflecting on the gains and losses of this battle, Jin One twelve World Realm puppets were joking and laughing.

They were also secretly discussing it.

"Ninth Brother, can you hold on?" Jin One looked at the young man whose face was extremely pale, his voice somewhat solemn.

"He won't die yet." Jin Nine shook his head slightly. "It's just that the ' Godslayer Power' stored in his core is almost completely depleted, and it won't be able to recover for several years."

"The successor that Master encountered this time is truly a freak. He hasn't even reached the World Realm yet, but the power within his body is so abundant. Even if he has twelve clones, he's still just a True God Ancestor Immortal. Old Nine is World God!" Jin Eleven stroked his beard, filled with emotion.

"He is indeed a freak. All his power was almost completely exhausted by the Ninth Brother's Godslayer Power, but he recovered in just a moment," Jin Twelve interjected.

"I just tested it, and his physical strength has indeed recovered. Although it's not at its peak yet, after continuously using his divine abilities, he has at least recovered 50% to 60% of his divine power. Just this terrifying recovery speed alone means that if he were to become Ancestor God, even if we join forces, we might not be able to stop him."

At this moment, Jin Twelve no longer had any of his lewd and cunning expression; his face was solemn.

"The Ninth Brother's Godslayer Power is condensed using the secret techniques of the puppet's core formation, unlike a true cultivator of mental strength who can recover it through cultivation," Jin One pondered. "In that case, we will no longer fight him head-on. Master's ' Chaos Cavern Tribulation Stone Body ' divine power is not something we can break. If we fight again, we will rely on our speed and agility to maneuver around him. The Fifth and Sixth Brothers, with our strongest attacks, will take the lead in the offensive, while the Tenth and Eleventh Brothers will focus on restraining him. The rest of us will use secret techniques to deplete his divine power."

"We must choose the most prodigy successor for our master. We cannot allow him to pass this final test easily," Jin One said resolutely.

"Good."

"Clear."

The golden-armored puppets responded in deep voices.

"Hmm?" Jin Twelve looked at Zhou Hao and saw that he had actually gotten up and walked towards the temple again.

"They've only fought one match, and they're already stopping?"

It seems he has already forgotten about the second time he was beaten.

Zhou Hao had no idea what these World Realm puppets were thinking. What was churning in his mind right now was how to restrain and defeat the twelve puppets and complete the third test of the Starry Sky Holy Lord.

"First, I need to make up for my lack of speed. This is essential, both for completing the test and for dealing with the Wind Demon in the future."

"The next question is how to deal with ' Godslayer '." After Zhou Hao returned to the temple, each of his twelve clones entered a Dao Treasury Hall and began searching for the answers they sought in countless ancient texts.

Second update.

We'll continue tomorrow.
