Donghua Breaks Through, the Extras Take Their Places!

call.

A figure in black robes suddenly appeared above the Endless Swamp.

Looking at the flat swamp stretching out before him, even the somewhat filthy black mud seemed refreshing to Zhou Hao.

After all, the ruined world that had just been flattened was full of isolated, towering peaks, and even from the air, one's view was inevitably obstructed.

Wow.

Bodhi Ancestor followed closely behind and appeared beside him.

Zhou Hao looked at a small island in the Endless Swamp and smiled at the Bodhi Ancestor beside him, "I never expected there to be such a beautiful place in this swamp."

That so-called island was actually just a protrusion on the ground, only a little over a thousand feet in circumference.

Because it was higher than the surrounding swamp and covered with flowers and grass, it looked like an isolated island in the swampy land where black mud and bubbles rose from time to time, and it was quite pleasing to the eye.

"Having destroyed nearly thirty ruined worlds in succession, Changsheng Daoist Changsheng, would you like to rest?" Bodhi Ancestor asked. "Since this small island has earned your praise, why not stay here and recover a little?"

"Alright." Zhou Hao nodded and stepped onto the island first.

The two Daoist masters casually found a clean patch of grass and sat down cross-legged.

The Bodhi Ancestor first set up a restriction around the island to conceal the presence of the two people. Then, he took out some spiritual fruits and immortal wine from his cave treasures and placed them on a low bamboo table.

The two of them then sat down leisurely on the ground, eating, drinking, and chatting.

"Fellow Daoist's magical power is profound; this old Daoist truly admires it," said Bodhi Ancestor. "If a half-step Chaos Immortal is already so terrifying, one can only imagine the power of a true Chaos Immortal when they take action."

"Naturally, he's better than me." Zhou Hao took a sip of wine contentedly, then squinted his eyes and pretended to doze off.

He had always been intentionally controlling the power of his attacks. His strongest attack was when he destroyed the Tumor Eye World, but it was still only at the level of a top-tier first-class Ancestor Immortal, and he did not unleash his full power.

However, there has never been a first-class Ancestor Immortal in the Three Realms. The Dao Ancestors of the Three Realms, such as Bodhi Ancestor, only achieved the third-class Golden Core, which is not even as good as a first-class True Immortal in the endless chaos.

It's simply because he has a high level of primordial power, reaching the fifth level, that he can be comparable to a first-class true immortal and his strength rivals that of a top-tier true god.

As for the so-called leadership level in the Three Realms, it is merely a higher realm of Dao, having comprehended the opposing Heavenly Dao, thus being equivalent to a second-class Ancestor Immortal, with strength comparable to an ordinary Ancestor God.

The true power and prestige of a first-class Ancestor Immortal is something that even the Dao Ancestors of the Three Realms, such as Bodhi Ancestor, have never seen.

Seeing that Zhou Hao was pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, Bodhi Ancestor assumed that he was recovering his magical power and mental state, so he stopped speaking.

While Zhou Hao appeared relaxed, he was actually constantly planning and strategizing in his mind.

"Given the strength I've revealed, the Great Demon God of Cixiu will take me seriously, but he shouldn't be afraid. After all, he and his one-armed subordinate are both top-tier Ancestor God. No matter how cautious they are, they wouldn't just run away without even showing their faces."

"Moreover, I deliberately showed that I had advanced to the first level of the Golden Core realm. He will definitely think that I have a special opportunity and possess treasures. With this temptation, I'm not afraid that he won't take the bait." Zhou Hao took another sip of wine with satisfaction.

"Bodhi's wine is quite good. I haven't had it before. I'll ask him for some later..." Thinking that his plan had been flawless, and that Bodhi's presence made the Great Demon God of Cixiu think that it was an escape route he had left behind, making him even more fearless, Zhou Hao felt relieved and his mind began to wander. He even started thinking about trivial matters.

"Hmm?" Zhou Hao opened his eyes and looked into the distance.

"Have the extras who participated in the ambush arrived yet?" Zhou Hao sensed auras appearing in the distance, and a feeling inexplicably arose in his heart that he had set the script, and those Chaos Alien were all actors, performing according to the prescribed plot.

"They should all be at the level of True God Dao Ancestor." Bodhi Ancestor also sensed the seven or eight auras in the distance, stood up from the ground, and looked over.

"Is it Donghua?" Bodhi Ancestor frowned. "Why is Donghua also on the Ruins Continent? Didn't Suiren-shi Rulai order that no one from our camp was allowed to come here on their own? And he's being chased by eight powerful alien beings. He hasn't even broken through to the Dao Ancestor level yet, why is he taking such a risk?"

It seems he forgot that he and Zhou Hao also came here without permission.

"Senior Brother Donghua?" Zhou Hao saw it too at this moment. The one flying in front of him in the distance, transformed into a sword rainbow, was none other than Lü Dongbin he hadn't seen for a long time.

"This is bad." Bodhi Ancestor changed. "Among the alien races chasing Donghua, there is the ' Silent Imperial Sovereign, ' a top-tier True God Dao Ancestor."

Wow.

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Hao had already vanished from the spot.

Within the golden sword rainbow.

Although Lü Dongbin was being chased by eight powerful beings from other races, there was not a trace of panic in his eyes.

"Indeed, one cannot become a Buddha without going mad. I have been hiding and concealing myself around the Dongxiang World for a long time, but the effect of honing my skills is not as good as going to the Solitary Silence World and exposing my identity, which led to me being hunted down by powerful alien beings." Holding the Green Duckweed Sword, Lü Dongbin turned around and unleashed dozens of sword lights to block several spells and magical treasures that were attacking him. Then, he changed direction and continued to flee frantically.

His true form had been wandering in the Ancient Ruins for a long time, previously operating secretly around the Dongxiang World. Because the Dongxiang Emperor and his alien subordinates looked most like humans, and because he was cautious, he had not been discovered until now.

Alone amidst countless alien races, the constant threat of being discovered kept him on edge, resulting in exceptional training. In just over ten years, he had improved more than he had in the hundreds of millions of years he had spent leisurely in the Three Realms.

But as time went on, perhaps because he had gotten used to it, Lü Dongbin realized that continuing like this was no longer effective in tempering him.

Furthermore, he clearly sensed that he was about to break through, so he made an extremely bold decision.

He ventured into the Solitary Silence World, risking an even greater chance of revealing his identity, to push himself further.

really.

As soon as he entered the Solitary Silence World, he was quickly discovered by the alien race. After killing dozens of alien race members at the level of celestial gods and true immortals, he finally attracted the pursuit of powerful alien race members.

"Either break through, or die."

"Rather than comfortably hiding behind my master, I'd rather die a glorious death!"

With this determination, Lü Dongbin began a great escape.

Various dangerous terrains and spatial fragments served as tools for him to evade pursuers during his escape.

They killed any gods, immortals, or alien races they encountered, and fought any lone powerful alien beings they met... until they entered the Endless Swamp.

"This is bad." Lü Dongbin's eyes narrowed.

The flat, boundless swamp ahead was clearly not a suitable place for him to escape.

However, the number of powerful alien beings chasing him had reached a terrifying eight, and turning back to fight would be tantamount to suicide.

"Just a little bit more, just a little bit more." A look of madness appeared in Lü Dongbin's eyes.

He could feel that the sword light he emitted already had a faint seven-colored glow, which was the color that only appeared at the fifth level of sword power, the 'Sword God Realm'.

At the same time, his Limitless Power and Taiji Power have reached the peak of the fourth level.

There are also the ' Yang Heavenly Dao ' and the ' Yin Heavenly Dao '...

Lü Dongbin knew very well that no matter which one he could break through—sword power, Limitless Power, or Taiji Power —it would allow him to instantly achieve a comprehensive understanding of one of the two great Heavenly Dao of Yin and Yang, thus stepping into the Dao Ancestor realm.

With the profound mystery of the two great Heavenly Dao of Yin and Yang being superior to the Five Heavenly Dao, and the primordial power reaching the fifth level, he would immediately reach the top True God Dao Ancestor realm, and be an existence at the level of a leader like his master Three Pure Ones.

After all, he had already reached the peak of both the Yin and Yang Heavenly Dao. All he lacked was an opportunity, a chance to break through and take another step forward!

Among the eight powerful beings from other races who were chasing after Lü Dongbin.

The Silent Imperial Sovereign followed from a distance, only watching his seven subordinates make their move.

Sudden--

"Solitary Silence, that's enough. You make your move and force Zhou Hao to show himself."

A familiar voice echoed in his mind, and the expression on the face of the Silent Imperial Sovereign immediately turned serious.

"Yes, Master." The Silent Imperial Sovereign glanced around warily.

Although he knew that his master, the Great Cixiu God, was hiding nearby with a large group of True God Dao Ancestor, the thought that the terrifying human youth might also be nearby sent chills down his spine.

He had seen clearly how the Tumor Eye's clone was killed instantly at the edge of the Void Sea last time.

"Let my children handle it; that should be enough to deal with a human True Immortal. I'd better be careful and prepare my defenses first." The Silent Imperial Sovereign's mind stirred.

Wow~~~

Nine monsters, each the size of a small mountain, appeared out of thin air around him.

These monsters resembled Shitou giants, eight-legged beetles, and two-headed snakes... each possessing a powerful aura, no less than that of a Dao Ancestor.

"Go." The Silent Imperial Sovereign pointed to the golden sword rainbow in front of him, and the nine monsters immediately let out piercing cries and rushed towards Lü Dongbin from all directions.

"Puff!"

The eight-legged beetle-like monster suddenly spat out a ball of emerald green light.

The ball of light moved extremely fast, appearing instantly above the golden sword rainbow that Lü Dongbin had transformed into, just like a beam of light.

"Boom!"

The emerald green light burst open, forming a giant net in the air that descended upon the area.

Lü Dongbin's expression changed, and he used his Green Duckweed Sword to slash three times before finally breaking through the giant green net.

But in that short time, nine monsters appeared less than ten thousand miles away from him, surrounding him completely, their speed even faster than those powerful alien beings.

"Nine insect beasts at the level of true gods..." Lü Dongbin panicked.

What is less than ten thousand miles is an instant to a true god, as if they were close at hand.

He was a Qi Refining cultivator who was most afraid of his opponents getting close, and he had not yet broken through to become Pure Yang True Immortal.

Now, facing nine true god-level insect beasts at close range, even a true Dao Ancestor would panic.

"Children, tear this barbarian race to pieces!" The cold voice of the Silent Imperial Sovereign echoed from afar.

Seeing that his insect beasts had surrounded Lü Dongbin, he ordered his seven Dao Ancestors to stop and protect him. His gray eyes were still vigilantly watching the surrounding movements, afraid that a figure would appear in front of him at any moment and punch him on the head.

"Roar~~~" The nine great insect beasts roared and hissed at Lü Dongbin from nine different directions, and then charged forward.

Insectoids and beasts have low intelligence; their most powerful weapon is their strong bodies.

"I'll risk it all." Lü Dongbin gritted his teeth, and sword shadows appeared before him once more.

There were a total of sixty-four mid-grade innate spiritual treasure flying swords. Eight swords formed a Tai Chi sword circle surrounded by black and white air currents. The eight Tai Chi sword circles were directed at a different insect beast. He himself controlled the Green Duckweed Sword to slash at the eight-legged beetle that could spit out a giant net.

Boom! Boom! Boom!...

Even though Taiji Power is best at defense, and Lü Dongbin's Tai Chi sword circle was a purely defensive sword technique, it shattered instantly in front of eight insect beasts with bodies comparable to ordinary true gods, only stopping them for a moment.

But that's exactly the moment he wanted.

"Die!" Lü Dongbin's veins bulged and his eyes flashed with madness. Even though the Tai Chi sword circle was broken and caused his aura to fluctuate due to the backlash, he paid no attention to it and focused all his attention on the Green Duckweed Sword sword.

This was his strongest sword strike.

This was a strike where his body and sword became one.

At the same time, this was also a desperate gamble for him, a do-or-die situation.

"Whoosh."

The faint seven-colored sword light on the Green Duckweed Sword suddenly intensified.

Not only the Green Duckweed Sword, but even Lü Dongbin's body was suddenly enveloped in a seven-colored sword light.

"That's..." The distant Silent Imperial Sovereign exclaimed in surprise, "The fifth level of sword power?"

not good.

The Silent Imperial Sovereign immediately unleashed a streak of dark light with a palm strike.

He was well aware of his insect-beast strength; although his body was strong, it could not withstand the Chaos Divine Sword imbued with the fifth layer of sword power.

If he didn't intervene and allowed Lü Dongbin, who had broken through in the midst of battle, to escape, he didn't even dare to think about how the enraged Demon King of Cixiu would deal with him.

"Pfft."

The seven-colored sword light pierced through the massive body of the eight-legged beetle.

Before Lü Dongbin could even get excited, another giant black hand came rushing towards him.

"Boom!"

The seven-colored sword light flowing from Lü Dongbin's body canceled out the pitch-black giant palm.

The immense recoil caused him to cough up blood, and the Green Duckweed Sword was also deflected to the side.

"Just a little short," Lü Dongbin sighed.

Give yourself a few more breaths, even just one, and that will be enough for your golden core to break through and your true immortal power to undergo another transformation...

pity.

The eight-headed insect beast was already within reach; the forked tongue of its longest head, the two-headed snake, was almost touching him like an arrow.

"Golden Spirit, I have broken through. Even if my main body perishes, I still have Second Primordial Spirit. My Second Primordial Spirit will go to Jade Pool to see you..." Lü Dongbin closed his eyes, his heart at peace.

At this time--

"You beast!" A clear voice rang out.

When Lü Dongbin opened his eyes, he saw that the insects and beasts that were so close to him were frozen in mid-air as if they had been struck by a spell.

"Thump." "Thump." "Thump."...

The eight soulless insect-beasts crashed heavily to the ground.

The entire Endless Swamp was completely silent.

"Congratulations to Senior Brother Donghua on achieving your wish and finally breaking through."

The same clear voice rang out again. Lü Dongbin turned his head and saw a familiar young figure in black robes.

"Junior Brother?" Lü Dongbin looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.

"Senior Brother Donghua, please focus on your breakthrough. I'll handle these small fry," Zhou Hao said with a smile, looking at the chaotic energy that was beginning to gather around Lü Dongbin.

Although this place is Ancient Ruins, and no aura of the Three Realms Heavenly Dao descends here, Lü Dongbin comprehends the Heavenly Dao, and his sword power has broken through to the fifth level. His True Immortal Golden Core is already able to condense chaotic energy and undergo transformation.

In the future, he only needs to return to the Three Realms, control the Heavenly Dao, and use the aura of the Heavenly Dao to complete the final tempering, and he will be able to leap to become a top-level Dao Ancestor.

"Trash? Tsk tsk, what a boastful tone." As the mocking voice rang out, a dark golden domed fortress emerged from the void.

Wow~~~

More than thirty powerful beings from other races appeared out of thin air, with the Great Demon God Cixiu standing at the very front.

"Master." The Silent Imperial Sovereign hurriedly led his subordinates to fly over and reunite with the Great Demon God of Cixiu.

Just now, his eight children had been annihilated in an instant, but their bodies remained intact. The bizarre way they died made the Silent Imperial Sovereign, who was already extremely wary of Zhou Hao, even more fearful.

"Whoosh."

The figure of Bodhi Ancestor also appeared beside Zhou Hao.

"Changsheng Daoist Changsheng, the surrounding spacetime is sealed off. Even if I wanted to break through spacetime, it would take some time." Bodhi Ancestor's expression was not good.

This was the first time that Bodhi Ancestor had encountered a seal that could restrain his time-traveling abilities.

Originally, time and space, and oneself, were like water and fish.

But now that the water has frozen, the fish have to break the ice before they can move.

With so many powerful beings from other races appearing, will he have enough time to shatter the 'ice'?

"It's alright."

Zhou Hao glanced at the dark golden domed fortress behind the group of powerful alien beings and thought to himself, "The Zhouguang Spirit-Opening Fortress?"

This being perused countless scriptures within the Dao Treasury Hall of the Void Holy City, gaining a profound understanding of the endless chaos.

He had initially worried that the records in those ancient texts were from 30 million years ago, and wondered how much of it was still usable now.

Unexpectedly, it came in handy right away, allowing him to recognize at a glance that this dark gold domed fortress was a standard fortress belonging to a force called ' Zhou Guang City ' in the Endless Territories.

"The Zhou Guang City also occupies an Eternal Realm. It seems that it once fought against the Starry Sky Holy Lord's Starry Sky Eternal Realm. Its strongest leader, ' Zhouguang Dao Lord of Light,' was also an extremely powerful Four-Step Dao Lord. Now that we can still see the Zhouguang Spirit-Opening Fortress, it is clear that the Zhou Guang City still exists. Could it be that Dao Lord of Zhouguang has successfully merged with the Dao and advanced to the Eternal Emperor?"

As Zhou Hao pondered this, the Great Demon God of Cixiu saw that after Zhou Hao glanced at his magical fortress, he remained silent and looked extremely wary, and couldn't help but laugh.

"You have good taste, recognizing that my fortress is no ordinary object," the Great Demon God Cixiu said leisurely. "My fortress is strong enough to contend even with World God. Don't think you can escape just because Bodhi is with you. Today, none of you will get away."

"To contend with World God?" Zhou Hao scoffed. "It's just a tortoise shell with a harder shell, comparable to a mid-grade Dao Divine Weapon, and faster, capable of traveling a million miles in an instant. The accompanying formation is only for auxiliary purposes. What do you have to contend with World God?"

A so-called standard fortress is a magical fortress that a force has mass-produced, primarily for use in large-scale wars between immortals and demons, involving thousands of units in joint operations.

This one alone, the Great Demon God of Cixiu, dares to say it can be used to contend with the World God. Do you really think he's some ignorant native trying to fool me?

"He actually knows the details of the Zhouguang Spirit-Opening Fortress." The Great Demon God of Cixiu was suddenly shocked.

This ' Zhouguang Spirit-Opening Fortress ' is a standard magical artifact for the World Realm experts in the ' Zhouguang Army ' within the Zhouguang Eternal World.

He was only able to obtain it after killing the only son of a World Realm expert from the ' Zhouguang Army '.

It was for this reason that the Great Demon God Cixiu led his servants, risking their lives, to cross the spatial passage and arrive in the remote Three Realms.

He usually claims to want to destroy the Three Realms and obtain the Heart of the World, but in reality, a large part of his motivation is to avoid disaster.

Seeing that Zhou Hao had actually figured out the details of the Zhouguang Spirit-Opening Fortress and even seemed extremely familiar with it, the Great Demon God of Cixiu immediately flashed with a fierce light.

"Kill them all! Leave not a single one alive!"

Rumble~~~

More than thirty powerful beings from other races formed a magic array, their bodies enveloped in black light.

The overwhelming aura that formed immediately changed the expressions of Bodhi and Lü Dongbin.

The fastest attack, however, was a streak of emerald light that appeared abruptly without warning and struck directly at the three of them.

"Bang!"

The emerald green scales and tail of the Cixiu Demon God Thorn Cultivator were blocked by a fair hand.

"Bodhi, Senior Brother Donghua, don't resist." Zhou Hao grabbed the emerald green scales of the Great Demon God of Cixiu with one hand and swept out with the other, directly taking Bodhi and Lü Dongbin into his personal Immortal Mansion.

"What? You actually caught my tail so easily?" The Great Demon God Cixiu surged with divine power, trying to retract his tail, but a terrifying pulling force suddenly came, and his body was involuntarily pulled backward.

"Master." The group of powerful beings from other races stared in disbelief, unable to comprehend what they were seeing.

Their master, the great Demon God of Cixiu...

Surprisingly, someone grabbed its tail and flung it away.

Second update.

Still asking for votes... haha.

The third update will be after midnight.
