Slay the Traitor, I'll Wait for You Seven Days!

As the saying goes, "When the emperor is angry, millions will die, blood will flow for miles, and the blood will be so deep that it can float pestles."

With Zhou Hao's realm of half-step Chaos Immortal, and the overwhelming murderous aura that had annihilated countless alien creatures in the Ancient Ruins, this rage...

"Rumble~~~"

Instantly, blood-red clouds stretched for billions of miles, obscuring the sky and sun, and the entire Great Xia World changed color.

"What happened?"

"This..."

"Sky."

In an instant, all the Loose Immortal and celestial immortals in the entire Eight Dragon Cloud City felt their bodies freeze, and even the true immortals and gods felt their minds shake violently, as if they were about to suffer a catastrophic disaster.

Even the once silent Wujian City in the distance was now filled with chaos and commotion.

"Who?"

A furious roar echoed throughout the entire Eight Dragon Cloud City.

This is the voice of the Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor.

Then a figure appeared out of thin air; it was none other than the Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor.

Originally, Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor was feeling troubled in his bedchamber.

Because the trump card for the final battle, ' Shennong's Medicine,' entrusted to Ji Ning was destroyed by Yu Wei, it was not used on the Wujian Gate, but instead caused the immortals and demons under his command to be affected.

Seeing that the tide had turned and the decisive battle between the realms was about to end in defeat, and that he himself was about to abandon this foundation built up over countless years and lead his disciples and grand-disciples to migrate, just as he was feeling disheartened, he suddenly sensed the earth-shattering killing intent erupting from the Eight Dragon Cloud City, Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor Ming hurriedly rushed over.

Upon seeing the familiar black-robed figure on the city wall, Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor Ming's eyes lit up. "Changsheng Daoist Chang Sheng."

"Crimson Bright." Zhou Hao nodded slightly.

"What brings you here, fellow Daoist?" Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor looked at Zhou Hao expectantly.

"I know the trump card Shennong-shi gave you has been destroyed," Zhou Hao said. "I've come today to give you another trump card."

"I wonder what you have to offer me, my friend?" Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor was overjoyed.

Who is Zhou Hao?

That is the current leader of Nuwa Faction, and even the most powerful being in the Three Realms.

Although his cultivation time was short, the fact that he could come up with a method to enhance his Golden Core and reach a height that others could not achieve even after countless years in a short period of time made him unsurprisingly respected by all the powerful beings in the Three Realms.

"Take your time." Zhou Hao didn't say it directly but turned to look outside the city.

In the distance, from the Wujian City, a tall, thin man radiating endless Dark Light took flight, then stepped out and arrived in the desolate sky between the two cities.

The tall, thin man appeared ordinary, but the endless Dark Light he emitted, along with the enormous, swaying bamboo behind him that was tens of thousands of feet tall, while not as powerful as Zhou Hao's murderous aura that caused the winds and clouds to change over billions of miles, at least protected the Wujian City behind him.

"Zhou Hao, this is a decisive battle between my realm and Crimson Bright's. Why aren't you staying in the Longevity Realm? Are you trying to interfere?" the tall, thin man shouted, his voice echoing throughout the heavens and earth.

"Ink Bamboo, who gave you the audacity to question me? In the entire Three Realms, where can't I go?" Zhou Hao looked down at the tall, thin man, ' Ink Bamboo Dao Zu'.

"You!" Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo roared in fury.

Wow.

Another figure shrouded in black mist appeared beside Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo.

Standing beside Zhou Hao, Ji Ning, who seemed almost invisible and inconspicuous, suddenly revealed boundless hatred in his eyes when he saw the figure in the black mist.

"God King." Ji Ning gritted his teeth, staring at the figure shrouded in black mist.

It was him, the supreme leader of the Wujian Gate, the God King, who manipulated his senior sister's soul, causing his family to be torn apart.

It was he who, despite her abandoning her dignity and kneeling on the ground begging, remained unmoved, instead casting her soul into the deepest hell to suffer endless torment.

The Black-Robed God King immediately sensed the hostile gaze from Ji Ning.

But a tiny creature, as insignificant as an ant, refused to submit, so naturally he no longer took it to heart.

The God King was well aware that Ji Ning and Zhou Hao had known each other since the Great Xia World and had a rather friendly relationship. Therefore, he was not surprised to see Ji Ning standing next to Zhou Hao. He merely glanced at him before his gaze settled on the figure in black robes.

"Zhou Hao, do you intend to instigate the final battle?" the God King said sinisterly. "If you interfere in the final battle of the Crimsonbright Domain, the leaders and powerful figures of my Wujian Gate will gladly accompany you."

"Ha." Zhou Hao sneered, "I showed up here to start the final battle? You Bu Xiu, have no bottom line and will stop at nothing. Aren't you afraid of starting the final battle?"

"I don't need you to teach me what to do. As for the bottom line..." the God King said with a sinister smile, "If your Nuwa Faction has the ability, then go ahead and use it. Since we dare to do it, we dare to bear the consequences."

The powerful figures of the Wujian Gate, and even the relatives of the True Immortals and Heavenly Gods who formed the backbone of the sect, had already been properly settled when the chaos in the Three Realms began. They were personally protected by the Lord of Myriad Demons, so they were fearless and unafraid of retaliation from Nuwa Faction.

"I'm not as despicable as you," Zhou Hao said disdainfully. "I'm here today only to take back the life of an old dog who betrayed his master for personal gain."

"Old dog?"

The God King and Ink Bamboo Ancestor Mozhu were both taken aback, while Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor and Ji Ning looked at Zhou Hao in confusion.

"It was one thing to hide in the Myriad Demon Realm like a coward before, but now that you dare to show your face, then die." Zhou Hao looked at the Wujian City behind the God King and Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo, and his invisible mental power instantly descended upon one of the palaces.

"Not good." The God King and Ink Bamboo Ancestor Mozhu's expressions changed, realizing who Zhou Hao was referring to.

Inside a palace in the Wujian City.

The Northern Land Immortal Elder sat cross-legged on the platform, his eyes filled with panic.

"Wujian City is the military camp and fortress of the immortal and demonic armies. It is itself a primordial spiritual treasure, and with Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo in charge, Emperor Zhou Hao will definitely be unable to do anything to me," the Northern Land Immortal Elder muttered to himself.

But looking at the empty hall, he still felt uneasy, so he released a magical lotus platform to protect himself, and only then did he feel a little more at ease.

Since abducting Xiao Zhou Yu from Perching Dragon Gorge to the Fifth World, the Northern Land Immortal Elder has been hiding in the Myriad Demon Realm Wujian Gate.

Hearing the rumors circulating about Zhou Hao, and knowing that Zhou Hao is now a powerful leader at the pinnacle of the Three Realms, comparable to the Lord of Myriad Demons, the Northern Land Immortal Elder felt a mix of emotions.

The Northern Land Immortal Elder is different from other Wujian Gate.

Most of those spies were possessed by inner demons in their previous lives, and were then seduced by powerful figures from the Wujian Gate who were skilled in the art of controlling inner demons, thus having their souls manipulated and being reincarnated as spies.

However, the Northern Land Immortal Elder had already become a Celestial Immortal in the ancient Pangu World. When he later became Pure Yang True Immortal, the Wujian Gate had not yet invaded, so there was no question of his soul being controlled.

He actually voluntarily joined the Wujian Gate.

"If I hadn't sided with the Wujian Gate back then, but had remained loyal to the Emperor, now..." The Northern Land Immortal Elder had barely entertained this thought when he dismissed it, "Hmph, no way. He's busy cultivating himself; he has no time or inclination to care about me."

"Since I attained enlightenment in ancient times, I have reached the peak of Pure Yang without the guidance of a great master. If I had been guided by a great master, I would have become the Dao Ancestor long ago."

Thinking back to five years ago, when Lü Dongbin became the Dao Ancestor, causing a sensation Three Realms, the Northern Land Immortal Elder felt even more jealous and resentful.

"Donghua has cultivated for two lifetimes, and has Dao Sect mentored by the Sanqing and the two great masters of Xiaoyao, as well as the Buddhas of Buddhism. Yet he has only just become a Dao Ancestor. This shows that his aptitude and talent may not be stronger than mine."

"Even Zhou Hao, wasn't he first accepted as a disciple by the Sanqing, who bestowed upon him spiritual treasures and supernatural powers, before he achieved what he has today?"

In what way am I inferior to them?

"If I had those resources, how could I possibly lose to them!"

The Northern Land Immortal Elder thought that as soon as he joined the Wujian Gate, he was given a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. After completing the mission of kidnapping Zhou Hao's son, he was also taught many of the Wujian Gate's top secret techniques and received guidance from Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo. There was even a hint that he would take on disciples.

The more he thought about it, the wiser he felt his choice was.

"But I betrayed the Three Realms, betrayed humanity, betrayed..."

An ethereal, invisible force enveloped the entire hall. The golden lotus platform remained unresponsive, while the Northern Land Immortal Elder, sitting cross-legged, stared blankly, muttering to himself.

"I am guilty, I am a traitor. Even if I become the Dao Ancestor, so what?"

"... die?"

"So be it."

Wow.

The Northern Land Immortal Elder's Dao heart collapsed, his soul disintegrated, and his immortal body transformed into countless specks of light, disappearing into the hall like sand blown by the wind.

Thump.

The suspended lotus platform lost its magical control, its radiance vanished instantly, and it fell from mid-air onto the bed.

call.

The thought of Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo manifested, looking at the Northern Land Immortal Elder who had already been annihilated, his true spirit dissipated due to the collapse of his Dao heart, and angrily flicked his sleeve to put away the spiritual treasure lotus platform. He then turned and disappeared.

"Dead? His Dao heart collapsed, even his true spirit was destroyed?" A deep chill ran through the Black Run God King's heart.

Using mental power to silently induce immortals and demons to collapse their Dao hearts and commit suicide is not difficult for Dao Ancestors who have reached the fourth level of mental power and possess powerful souls.

However, the so-called "not difficult" refers to dealing with ordinary immortals and demons below the Heavenly Immortal realm.

Generally, after immortals and demons pass through the Heavenly Tribulation and become Heavenly Immortals, their divine souls and true spirits are nurtured and protected by the Heavenly Immortal Golden Core Elixir, making it impossible for ordinary powerful beings to control their suicide.

Moreover, he was the Northern Land Immortal Elder, who had achieved the Pure Yang True Immortal in ancient times and whose Daoist heart was firm.

If Zhou Hao could make an ancient true immortal like the Northern Land Immortal Elder commit suicide, then all the true immortals and gods in the entire Three Realms, those with weak mental cultivation, would likely be unable to escape his mental manipulation methods. This is what worries the Black-Robed God King.

"Isn't his forte close combat? The ' Tai Chi Divine Thunder ' technique he revealed when he opened the Longevity Realm was powerful enough. When did he become so strong in mental cultivation as well?"

The Black-Robed God King, annoyed, glared at Zhou Hao: "You broke the agreement by attacking Pure Yang True Immortal below the Dao Ancestor level, you..."

"Bu Xiu, don't bark without evidence. Which eye of yours saw me make a move?" Zhou Hao sneered. "It was he who, upon seeing me descend, felt ashamed and remembered the sin of betraying his master for personal gain, causing his faith to crumble. What does that have to do with me?"

"If I really wanted to break the agreement, I would kill you both right now!" Zhou Hao stared at the God King. "Bu Xiu, do you believe me or not, if I make a move, even if the Wind Demon is fast, he won't be able to come to the rescue in time."

The Black-Robed God King was speechless.

He believes.

The Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo was panting heavily, but Zhou Hao Hao's icy gaze made him afraid to speak.

"God King, Zhou Hao is trying to provoke us. If we attack him, it will be us instigating a conflict between the Dao Ancestors and breaking the agreement first," Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo transmitted to the God King.

"Yes, that's it. We can't fall for his tricks." The God King nodded, feeling a sense of relief, and his anger subsided somewhat.

"It's hateful that we can't find evidence of his actions. Otherwise, we could use that to force Nuwa Faction to cede some benefits, and the death of a Pure Yang True Immortal wouldn't have been in vain."

The God King harbored deep resentment.

With his mental energy ethereal and elusive, Zhou Hao's actions were also secretive, bypassing both Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo and the God King.

Although they vaguely sensed that Zhou Hao had sent some of his mental energy to Wujian City, when Dao Ancestors faced each other face to face, everyone's mental energy and thoughts were surrounding them. Trying to use this to claim that it was Zhou Hao who made the move was untenable.

Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo felt some regret.

If it were just a thought avatar that came to investigate, and the real body were still stationed in Wujian City, Zhou Hao's mental power could have blocked it when he approached.

A lovely name, a tree's shadow.

Having witnessed Zhou Hao's previous attack on the Fifth World, Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo sensed the change in the heavens and earth and realized that it was Zhou Hao himself who had arrived. Naturally, he was on high alert and not only notified the God King immediately, but also rushed over himself, fearing that Zhou Hao would once again act rashly and annihilate the millions of immortals and demons in Wujian City.

Seeing the two Dao Ancestors of the Wujian Gate fall silent, Zhou Hao had no time to waste. He immediately said coldly, "If you want to fight, then fight; if not, then get out. I have matters to discuss with Crimson Bright. It's still uncertain who will emerge victorious in this decisive battle in the Crimsonbright Domain."

"You..." the Black-Robed God King gritted his teeth, "Then let's settle this on the battlefield. Let's go."

Wow.

The figures of the Black-Robed God King and the Dao Ancestor of Ink Bamboo both disappeared.

Watching Zhou Hao recklessly berate the Black-Robed God King, Ji Ning felt his soul tremble, and his heart was filled with immense joy.

"The Black-Robed God King, how arrogant he was before me! Even if I knelt and begged for mercy, he wouldn't give me a second glance. But now, facing Senior Brother Zhou Hao, he doesn't dare utter a single word. Even his threats are weak and spineless..."

Yes, yes.

Only when you are strong enough can you control everything!

"If I had Senior Brother Zhou Hao's strength, how dare the God King bully and humiliate me!" Ji Ning shouted frantically in his heart.

"I want to become stronger! I want to use my own sword to make the Wujian Gate bow down and rescue my senior sister!"

"Haha, Changsheng Daoist Changsheng, you really gave me a good vindication." Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor laughed, his eyes crinkling.

Since the chaos caused by the Wujian Gate, the entire Nuwa Faction, especially the powerful figures who originally dominated a region, has been harboring a lot of resentment.

Their Nuwa Faction was stronger than the Wujian Gate, occupied a larger territory, and had more immortals, demons, and mortals under their command.

But precisely because of this, they are not as willing to risk everything as those from the Wujian Gate.

Just like dynasties and rebel armies in the mortal world.

On one side is ruling the country, on the other is conquering it.

Those who rule the country possess abundant resources, but they also have many concerns, since it is their own property that is being destroyed.

Although their strength in conquering the land was weak, they dared to destroy it wantonly. At worst, they would just destroy everything and rebuild it, since it wasn't originally theirs anyway.

This is also reflected in the behavior of several faction leaders.

Whether it's Buddhism, Dao Sect, or the human race, they all hope to quell the chaos caused by the Wujian Gate at the lowest possible cost. In addition, they also need to consider the thoughts and interests of other powerful figures in their respective camps, so they inevitably act hesitantly.

But Zhou Hao is different.

He was indeed a disciple of the Dao Sect, but he was born relatively recently. Apart from his father-son-like relationship with the Sanqing Ones, he did not have deep interactions with other powerful figures and lacked the emotional connections that had accumulated over countless years.

If you really anger him, he doesn't care if you start a great battle now, or how many powerful beings will die in the end. As long as the Sanqing Ones survive and his loved ones survive, that's enough for him.

The Wujian Gate was well aware of this, which is why they never used any beings from the Three Realms to blackmail him; they always tried to use his family as leverage.

Unfortunately, ever since the incident with Xiao Zhou Yu, anyone who had any connection with Zhou Hao has been taken to the Longevity Realm, leaving no opportunity to strike.

In addition, given Zhou Hao's ruthless killing of the Darklight Sword Lord, the Wujian Gate dared not provoke him easily again.

Now, throughout the Three Realms, apart from Bodhi's Crescent Moon World, where the Wujian Gate cannot be found and it remains relatively peaceful, the Longevity Realm, personally established and overseen by Zhou Hao, is the most stable.

"This is not the place to talk, Crimson Bright. Let's go to your palace to discuss this in detail." After saying this, Zhou Hao saw Ji Ning staring blankly and thought that he was comprehending the two cultivation techniques he had just obtained. He immediately waved his sleeve and took him through the void to the palace where Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor lived.

"Master, the Ancestor of Changsheng."

Xia Emperor, who had been waiting there, hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects upon seeing the two Dao Ancestors appear.

"Changsheng Daoist Changsheng, please have a seat." Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor invited Zhou Hao to sit in the seat of honor, and laid out plenty of rare fruits and immortal wine.

Seeing that Ji Ning was with him, he set up another seat to the side and asked the Xia Emperor to sit down with Ji Ning.

After several rounds of drinks...

Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor, still concerned about the war to come, couldn't help but ask, "Changsheng Daoist Changsheng, you still haven't told me what your trump card is for me?"

"Look, they're drinking right now," Zhou Hao gestured to Ji Ning, who was drinking with Xia Emperor.

"Ji Ning?" Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor was slightly taken aback. "Ji Ning is indeed strong. His Second Primordial Spirit controls the Xing Tian Formation, which even True Immortals and Heavenly Gods cannot match. However, right now, the Wujian Gate has a Dao Ancestor puppet controlled by my traitor ' Changqing '."

"With the Dao Ancestor puppet, that Changqing has almost reached the peak of an ordinary True God Dao Ancestor. Without the strength of a top-tier True God Dao Ancestor, there's no way to deal with him." Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor Chiming sighed. "We Dao Ancestors can't take action, and the most powerful True Immortals and Heavenly Gods in the Three Realms still need to be in charge of more important battlefields. They can't be easily mobilized either. Shennong-shi gave me the immortal medicine before, also so that I could avoid the Dao Ancestor puppet and try to deal with the Wujian Gate."

"To achieve victory now, we must either eliminate the Dao Ancestor's puppet or defeat the other armies of immortals and demons. But neither of these can be changed by the power of one person alone."

It wasn't that he didn't think highly of Ji Ning, but even the most prodigious talent needs time to grow.

Within three days, the immortals and demons in both camps will have fully recovered, and the Wujian Gate will inevitably challenge them to battle. At that time, if they cannot come up with a way to resist and resolve the Dao Ancestor's puppet, they will only suffer a crushing defeat.

Three days.

Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor shook his head.

Even if it takes three years, Ji Ning might not be able to grow to the peak of a True Immortal God and withstand the Dao Ancestor's puppet.

Zhou Hao smiled slightly and said to Ji Ning over there:

"Ji Ning, now that you've learned the swordsmanship I taught you, are you confident you can comprehend the power of the sword?"

While others failed to notice, Zhou Hao discovered it when he was teaching Ji Ning the method. At this time, Ji Ning had already comprehended the 'Sword Dao' and his Second Primordial Spirit had become Pure Yang True Immortal.

Although Ji Ning's Second Primordial Spirit wasn't very strong, barely reaching the level of a second-grade True Immortal, he could still cross the threshold of an ordinary True God Dao Ancestor or Dao Ancestor by relying on the Xing Tian Formation and combining the power of a thousand Heavenly Immortals and a hundred thousand Loose Immortal, making him almost equivalent to a Dao Ancestor puppet.

However, the body of the Dao Ancestor Puppet was comparable to a high-grade innate spiritual treasure. Ji Ning's attack power was too weak to break through the defense. His own magic array body could not withstand the Dao Ancestor Puppet's attack, which is why he could not resist.

However, now that Ji Ning's mental strength has broken through to the fourth level, the power of the Xing Tian Formation he can unleash is even greater.

Furthermore, the Heart Sword Technique can fuse mental power and sword power, allowing the ethereal mental power to be used as easily as an extension of one's own body, and adding the sharpness of sword power, thus multiplying the attack power.

Zhou Hao believed it.

As long as Ji Ning can comprehend sword power and master the <Heart Sword Technique>, his attack power will soar to the level of a top True God Dao Ancestor. Dealing with a mere Dao Ancestor puppet will naturally be a piece of cake.

"Yes," Ji Ning replied without hesitation. "It will take me three to five days, or seven to eight days at most, to comprehend the sword's power."

Ji Ning was well aware that his true self was currently cultivating the Heart Sword Technique in his personal Immortal Mansion.

He already possessed extraordinary talent in swordsmanship and had thoroughly grasped its essence. Now, with the guidance of the <Heart Sword Technique>, and from a high vantage point, comprehending the first level of sword power is not difficult.

"Alright," Zhou Hao said with a smile, "Then I'll wait for you here for seven days."

"Xia Mang."

Zhou Hao looked at Xia Emperor: "After you leave, casually mention to outsiders that Crimson Bright and I have something to discuss and will not return to the Longevity Realm for seven days. If the Wujian Gate challenges us to battle, hang up a truce sign and fight in seven days."

"Yes," Xia Emperor hurriedly replied.

"With me here, I doubt the Wujian Gate would dare to challenge us so easily," Zhou Hao said to Crimson Bright with a smile. "Then, let's just drink here and wait. We'll see the final result in seven days."
