A Dire Predicament, Old and New Scores Settled at Once!

The Xia Yu Domain.

The numerous great worlds directly ruled by the Ancient Imperial Clan Xia Clan are also the realms where the Ancient Imperial Clan and the Wujian Gate have been most fiercely confronting each other, and where the most powerful figures have gathered. It can be said to be the most terrifying place in the current struggle between the two major camps.

Boom!

A six-armed, sword-wielding demon god, standing a million feet tall, descended, shattering the peace of one of the great worlds.

"Break!" The Beiming Sword in the hand of Demon God Ji Ning flashed, leaving a chilling trail in the air.

Before that trace of sword light, even space itself was pierced in an instant.

The golden barrier surrounding the Wujian Gate Sect's lair in the distance collapsed without withstanding even a moment's resistance, revealing hundreds of thousands of immortals and demons within.

"Run!"

"Sky."

"Don't want."

An invisible pressure emanated from the million-foot-tall demon god, causing even the thoughts of many Loose Immortal Earth Immortal to slow down considerably, making it impossible for them to think normally.

This is the primal fear of life!

After all, Ji Ning's demonic body was formed by combining the power of 100,000 celestial immortals and 8 million Earth Immortal Loose Immortal with the Luo Hou Formation.

In terms of sheer pressure alone, it reached the level of a top-tier True God Dao Ancestor.

Of course, the Celestial Gods and True Immortals were still able to remain conscious, especially the five Celestial Gods and True Immortals in their lair. Although they were terrified by the sudden appearance of the Demon God Ji Ning, the pressure on their minds alone did not have a significant impact on them.

The impact may be small, but that doesn't mean they can escape.

Call!

After breaking through the golden light barrier of this stronghold's lair, Demon God Ji Ning stepped directly in, followed by six sword lights enveloping him.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

"Spare me!"

"Don't want."

"Spare me..."

The five celestial gods and immortals were reduced to dust in the sword light, and most of the hundreds of thousands of immortals and demons in the stronghold also died after the sword light swept past.

"Five!" Without pausing, Demon Ji Ning took a step back onto the innate top-grade spiritual treasure, the ' Void Boat '.

Swoosh~~~

The Void Boat traversed the void and departed, heading towards the next great world.

In the vast, dark space.

The God King, upon receiving the plea for help from his subordinate, a true god-celestial being, actually laughed.

"So they really have come to the Xia Yu Domain." The God King sneered, his heart filled with the satisfaction of his successful scheme.

"After more than a decade of planning, you even went so far as to disrupt my original plans, transferring a portion of the immortals and demons from the Xia Yu Domain to the other four human emperor realms... Ji Ning, you must be very proud of yourself."

Ji Ning is too much of a threat.

Without the intervention of the True God Dao Ancestor, Ji Ning, having unleashed a combined attack formation, was invincible.

In particular, he has somehow obtained the innate top-grade spiritual treasure ' Void Boat ' and mastered a technique that allows him to transform into lightning and reach the speed limit of the Heavenly Dao. Now, even if he were to besiege him with an army of hundreds of true immortals and gods, it would be extremely difficult.

The God King watched from afar as the Demon Ji Ning swept through two great worlds, slaying nearly fifteen True Immortals and Heavenly Gods, before charging into the third great world. His eyes gleamed with anticipation.

"Too bad, you asked for it!"

"Once you die, I'll crush Yu Wei's spirit and send her to join you, hahaha..."

"Disciple, the Wujian Gate's army has begun to assemble, numbering as many as twelve hundred True Immortals and Heavenly Gods. Once this great world is completely slaughtered, you must immediately leave the Xia Yu Domain." The voice of Bodhi Ancestor suddenly rang in Ji Ning's mind.

"So fast?" Ji Ning was surprised.

Last time, I wiped out twelve Great Worlds in a row before the army of the Wujian Gate finally assembled and attacked. This time, I've only reached the third Great World, and their army is already almost here?

"The Xia Yu Domain is now amassed by a massive number of Wujian Gate and demons from the Wujian Sect, unlike the previous Zhuanxu Domain, which required mobilizing troops from its home world. The speed is naturally much faster," the Bodhi Ancestor's voice continued. "However, you have already disrupted the Wujian Gate's arrangements in the Xia Yu Domain. Emperor Xia Yu will immediately dispatch troops to respond. Your objective has been achieved. The most important thing is to preserve your own life."

"Understood." Ji Ning also knew that he couldn't linger in the fight.

Forcing the Wujian Gate Sect to submit and rescuing their senior sister will inevitably be a protracted battle.

Even the most powerful True God Dao Ancestor would have to temporarily avoid a direct confrontation when faced with a massive array formed by 1,200 true immortals and celestial gods.

If one becomes too reckless, overconfident in one's combat strength, and ends up surrounded and killed by a large army, then all will be lost.

"There's one stronghold left. Destroy this one and leave immediately." Through Ji Ning's mental exploration, it was discovered that the Wujian Gate had two lairs within this vast world.

The first location contained three celestial beings, all of whom he had already slaughtered; the other location, however, contained a full fifteen.

"Gathered together, trying to use the array's restrictions to resist and hold me back?"

After being reminded by his master, Ji Ning immediately understood that these fifteen Celestial Immortals must have received orders to hold him off at all costs, buying time for the main army to arrive.

"Fifteen Celestial Immortals, protected by array formations and restrictions, would have been enough for me to turn and leave at the first glance back then. But now... things are different." Demon God Ji Ning sneered.

Back then, even the strongest Xing Tian, along with six or seven Celestial Gods and True Immortals, might have been able to withstand him thanks to the array formations and restrictions.

Even fifteen Heavenly Gods and True Immortals wouldn't be able to stop the current Luo Hou Fiendgod Ji Ning!

"Break."

The demon Ji Ning descended, wielding six divine swords.

Each divine sword was over 300,000 feet long, like a majestic mountain range, which the demon Ji Ning wielded to cut down on the strongholds and cities below.

"Careful."

"He's here."

The fifteen celestial beings and immortals within the stronghold city exerted all their strength, pouring their magical power into the array's restrictions to resist.

One of the True Immortals, due to excessive depletion of his magical power, even revealed his true form, which turned out to be an ' Asura God ' with eight faces and twenty-four arms.

"Asura God?" Demon Ji Ning was taken aback when he saw the true form of the immortal.

In the past few years, he has been cultivating the "Tao Wu's Eighteen Gods and Devils" in the World Prison, and sweeping away the celestial immortals imprisoned in the prison. After obtaining the "Nine-Horned Lightning Serpent Evasion Art", he also cultivated escape techniques and has not made any moves against the Wujian Gate. The entire Three Realms have been quite peaceful.

However, a major event still occurred, which was discussed for a long time throughout the Three Realms.

Due to the escalating war, the Wujian Gate had to bring back many spies and agents who had been lurking in the Heavenly Realm in order to replenish its troops.

Among them were some spies and agents from the Asura Demon Cult under the command of the ' Styx Dao Ancestor ', one of the Four Ancestors of Source River.

It is said that more than ten true immortals and gods of the Asura Demon Cult betrayed the sect and left, taking millions of immortals and demons with them, which angered the Styx Dao Ancestor, who vowed to settle accounts with the Wujian Gate sooner or later.

"Perfect, I'll kill this traitor for Styx Dao Ancestor and collect some interest." Demon God Ji Ning sneered, his sword light breaking through six layers of restrictions, and then the first sword swept past the Asura God True Immortal.

"Hmm?" Ji Ning frowned.

As his sword flashed past, the Asura God Immortal actually transformed into countless streaks of blood and light, but did not die.

The other fourteen Celestial Gods and True Immortals laughed, a strange laugh. At the same time, they all changed. Originally, their auras were completely different, but now they became exactly the same. Their appearances also changed, all becoming streaks of Bloodshadow, as if they had no physical form.

"It's the Blood God Child of the Styx! Ji Ning, run!" Bodhi's voice suddenly exploded in Ji Ning's mind.

"What!" Ji Ning was shocked. Without thinking, he quickly stepped onto the Void Boat, ready to escape through the void.

"If I could let you escape in front of me, the patriarch, then I might as well just hand over the title of patriarch of the Demonic Sect to you." A shrill, piercing voice, like the cry of a baby, rang out.

Boom!

A colossal tree, towering high enough to reach the entire world, with countless branches and leaves that could obscure the whole world, suddenly appeared.

"Go!" Demon God Ji Ning piloted the Void Boat, trying to tear through the void to leave, but there were giant tree branches in the hazy void. These giant tree branches made the space of the entire Great World like an iron plate, and no matter how much Ji Ning urged it, he could not tear it open.

"Not good." Ji Ning's heart was filled with alarm. The lightning transformed from the Nine-Horned Lightning Serpent enveloped the entire Void Boat, and then a bolt of lightning left the original location at the speed of light, which was 600,000 miles in an instant.

"Boom!"

Looking back from afar, Ji Ning saw that the space where he had been standing had been blasted apart by dozens of branches that were over 100,000 feet long.

Further away, beneath that towering tree, sat an old man in a blood-red robe with white hair and a youthful face, but a sinister expression. His narrow, sinister eyes were coldly fixed on him.

"Ji Ning, that is the true form of the Styx. Hold on a little longer, I'll be there soon." Bodhi's voice was extremely urgent. This was the first time Ji Ning had ever heard his master so anxious and out of control.

He knew that he was now facing an unprecedented deadly crisis.

"Damn Styx!" The usually calm and composed Bodhi Ancestor was now filled with murderous intent, and he directly traversed the void to arrive outside this great world of the Xia Yu Domain.

At this moment, this great world, viewed from the outside void, had become a verdant expanse.

"Even the Saha Sacred Tree that suppresses our lair has been brought here." Bodhi Ancestor's beard and hair flew wildly, his aura overwhelming. His aged hands suddenly grew larger and reached out to grab forward.

Enveloped by the Saha Sacred Tree, even he could not enter this great world through space-time manipulation. Moreover, Bodhi Ancestor knew even better that the Saha Sacred Tree had a natural influence on time in the area it enveloped, which was precisely what restrained his disciple's escape technique.

"Haha, Bodhi, what's the matter that you're in such a panic?" another voice rang out.

Before Bodhi's outstretched hands appeared a strangely-looking, blue-eyed old man.

The old man with blue eyes had his hair tied up in a high topknot, and his clothes were also emerald green. As soon as he appeared, he stretched out a pair of withered, bird-claw-like hands to meet the Bodhi Ancestor's aged hands.

"Whoosh~~~" The surrounding space and time began to shatter.

The blue-eyed old man took three steps back, while Bodhi Ancestor only swayed slightly and did not retreat, clearly gaining the upper hand.

But Bodhi Ancestor's face was extremely ugly. He glared at the green-eyed old man in front of him and shouted, "Kunpeng, have you Four Ancestors of Source River finally chosen to stand on the side of the Wujian Gate?"

"What Four Ancestors of Source River? I am me, Styx is the Styx. The Four Ancestors of Source River are just your names; we have never publicly acknowledged them." The green-eyed old man, ' Kunpeng True God, ' calmly shook his head. "Today, your disciple was about to kill Styx's disciple. Fortunately, Styx foresaw his disciple's impending doom and came to protect him beforehand. It has nothing to do with any faction. I am here to stand by Styx, and it has nothing to do with anything else."

"Haha, what a joke."

Faced with the shameless Kunpeng True God's blatant lies, Bodhi Ancestor laughed in anger and was too lazy to waste any more words.

"Ji Ning is my disciple. If you dare to harm him, you are my mortal enemies! Get out of my way..." Bodhi Ancestor lunged forward, raising his hands in a desperate killing move.

At the same time, Bodhi Ancestor's single thought encompassed the Three Realms.

"Suiren-shi!"

"Rulai!"

"Fellow Daoist Changsheng!"

"Come quickly to rescue Ji Ning!"

After seeking help from several powerful leaders in Nuwa Faction, Bodhi Ancestor transmitted his voice into his own Crescent Moon World.

"Jidian, hurry to the Xia Yu Domain and save your junior brother!"

A voice suddenly rang in the mind of the lean old man who was fast asleep.

"Hmm?" The lean old man picked up the tattered fan covering his face and sat up.

"He actually forced Master to call for reinforcements?" Jidian, the second-ranked disciple under Bodhi and a top-tier Dao Ancestor, was no longer as casual as usual, his face solemn.

He waved his tattered fan forward, and a spatial vortex passage appeared in front of him. Jidian immediately stepped into it and left the Crescent Moon World.

Another location on Fangcun Mountain.

"Hey, fall down now."

Woodcutter dressed in straw sandals and cloth clothes is wielding his axe, and a large tree is slowly falling.

"Woodcutter, your junior brother is in danger in the Xia Yu Domain. The Patriarch Styx has trapped him, and the Kunpeng is blocking my way. Whether you come or not is up to you." Bodhi's voice echoed in the Woodcutter's mind.

"Ji Ning, that little kid learning archery back then?" The Woodcutter, carrying his axe, smiled slightly. "You want to kill my junior brother? You haven't even asked me first."

The Woodcutter was the most low-key person on the entire Fangcun Mountain. He even stayed at the foot of the mountain and never went up to see Bodhi.

No one knew what the Woodcutter had done, not even his real name, but he was undoubtedly the strongest disciple on the entire Fangcun Mountain. Ji Ning and the others only knew that... their senior brother was called ' Woodcutter '.

Even the Bodhi Ancestor treated him not like a disciple, but rather like a fellow Daoist of the same generation.

Whoosh~~~

A spatial vortex passage appeared in front of the Woodcutter, and he calmly stepped in, carrying his axe, as if he were just going to chop down another tree.

Flower-Fruit Mountain Great World.

Sun Wukong was drinking with his monkey followers inside the Water Curtain Cave when he suddenly heard a familiar voice beside him.

"Wukong, come to the Xia Yu Domain immediately to save your junior brother!"

master?

Sun Wukong flicked his wine cup, revealing a layer of gleaming golden armor on his body, and an iron rod appeared in his hand.

"My children, Your Majesty is going out for a while."

The sound still echoed over Flower Fruit Mountain.

The Monkey King has already somersaulted all the way to the Xia Yu Domain.

Almost instantly, Bodhi summoned the powerful figures within Nuwa Faction via telepathy.

Bodhi rarely joined forces with the disciples of the Dao Ancestor of his own Fangcun Mountain lineage, but he did so this time as well.

Didn't you Kunpeng, say that you and Styx would appear because of your disciples?

good.

Then the disciples of my Fangcun Mountain lineage will also gather!

I want to see if there is any connection between your Source River Lineage and the Wujian Gate.

really.

The first to arrive, Suiren-shi, was blocked by the Master Hengmu of the Wujian Gate from a distance. The pretext was that Nuwa Faction was suddenly causing trouble in the great world controlled by the Wujian Gate.

"Hengmu, I need to save that little brat Ji Ning, get out of my way!" Suiren-shi was surrounded by terrifying flames, and his desperate punches and kicks left Master Hengmu only able to parry.

"Suiren-shi, this is a matter between Styx and Bodhi, and my Wujian Gate will not interfere. However, if your Nuwa Faction wants to intervene, we will certainly not stand idly by." The Master Hengmu smiled, his body seemingly rooted to the void, a purple ruler guarding him perfectly.

"Such self-deception, Huanmu, do you even believe what you say?" A sigh echoed between heaven and earth, and a gigantic golden hand tore through the void, hurtling towards them.

"What does it matter whether you believe or not? Rulai, it's been a long time since we've sparred. Let's give it a try." Accompanied by a clear laugh, a crystal-clear, jade-like palm also came through the air, blocking Rulai's attack in mid-air.

"The Demon Hand?" Tathagata frowned slightly Rulai he looked at the petite woman in purple blocking his way. He understood that the Wujian Gate and the Source River Lineage had made a prior agreement; otherwise, there wouldn't have been a corresponding Wujian Gate leader blocking his way when his own powerful leader arrived.

"Ji Ning, alas." Rulai sighed inwardly. The Wujian Gate and the Source River Lineage had laid such a deadly trap, and Ji Ning was facing the Patriarch Styx himself. This time, he was probably doomed.

Bodhi was also extremely anxious.

Rulai Suiren-shi and Tathagata arrived quickly, almost instantly after he summoned them.

However, Ji Ning's situation in the Great World is becoming increasingly dangerous.

He managed to barely survive thanks to his escape techniques and the Luo Hou Demon God Formation. However, the Saha Sacred Tree Patriarch Styx, who hadn't paid much attention to Ji Ning before, began to take him seriously when he saw that he couldn't kill him with just the Saha Tree.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two blood-red sword lights burst forth from behind the Patriarch Styx and then rushed toward Ji Ning.

The soaring killing intent and sharpness, even before it touched him, already chilled Ji Ning to the bone.

Even though he was surrounded by a magic array of 100,000 celestial beings and 8 million Loose Immortal, a sense of dread, as if swords and axes were about to strike him, and that great calamity was about to befall him, inexplicably rose in his heart.

"These are the two supreme sword treasures of Yuantu and Avici." Ji Ning knew that this was the most critical moment for his life and death.

If we cannot stop them, death is the only outcome.

"Break!" Ji Ning's six divine swords simultaneously met the two streaks of blood-red sword light.

Boom!

Under the pressure of this terrifying threat, Ji Ning felt that this sword strike was faster and sharper than any he had ever used before.

What was originally just wisps of seven-colored sword light suddenly surged under near-limit-level, desperate pressure.

"Clang clang clang~~~" Six consecutive, rapid sounds rang out.

The two blood-red sword lights were actually blocked by Ji Ning's six divine swords.

"Truly a monster, capable of blocking my Yuantu Avici." The Patriarch Styx raised an eyebrow. "Then he must be eliminated even more."

More and more powerful beings were arriving from outside, and the Patriarch Styx knew he could no longer delay.

"Condense." The Patriarch Styx pointed from afar.

Rumble~~~

Suddenly, the blocked Yuantu Avici shone brightly, each beam bursting with dazzling seven-colored light.

The two sword lights then converged in the air, intertwined, and instantly condensed into a huge seven-colored sword beam, which slashed towards Ji Ning.

"It's over, we can't stop it." Facing the vast and endless seven-colored sword light, Ji Ning naturally felt a sense of despair.

Just now, there were only two sword lights, and he had already used up all his strength, even his mental energy was exhausted.

Now, facing the combined killing move of the Patriarch Styx's twin swords, can he rely solely on his sword power, which he just recently broke through to the peak of the third level?

How could we possibly stop it!

The difference is too big!

"Senior Sister." A wave of sorrow washed over Ji Ning.

In the end, there was no way to save you...?

Sudden--

"Smack."

A sound of something hard shattering rang out beside him, causing Ji Ning, who was inside the Luo Hou Demon God Formation, to look up involuntarily.

It was the ' Longevity Token ' that he always carried with him.

Senior Brother Zhou Hao had instructed that it should not be stored in storage magic treasures or the Golden Core space, but must be carried with you at all times.

Therefore, Ji Ning always wore a gold thread around his waist.

The ' Longevity Token ' is now shattered.

A figure in black robes appeared out of thin air in front of Ji Ning.

"Senior Brother Zhou Hao?" Ji Ning was overjoyed.

The black-robed figure before them possessed an overwhelming aura; it was definitely not a thought manifestation, but rather the true form of Senior Brother Zhou Hao?

"This is an avatar of mine," Zhou Hao in black robes said with a faint smile. "I had long anticipated that the Wujian Gate would not abide by the rules, but I never expected that it would be Styx who jumped out."

Wow.

Zhou Hao stepped out of the Luo Hou Demon God Formation.

The combined attack formation created by Fuxi-shi was like air to him. Ji Ning didn't even feel any stagnation in the formation's operation before his senior brother Zhou Hao appeared outside his demonic body.

"Styx, back in the Heavenly Realm, you disregarded the Dao Ancestor's reputation and attacked me when I was still in the Void Return Returning stage. Now you've come in person to attack Ji Ning. You're shameless to this extent, you deserve to die today," Zhou Hao said calmly.

Just imagine how fast the seven-colored sword light condensed from the two supreme sword treasures, Yuantu and Avici, was!

However, from the moment Zhou Hao appeared, to the moment he stepped out of the formation, and then spoke calmly and unhurriedly, his voice was clearly audible to Ji Ning and the Patriarch Styx in the distance.

This bizarre scene was as if time itself had been completely disrupted after his appearance.

Even if time is disordered, what is meant to come will eventually come.

A massive, seven-colored sword beam slashed down, its first target being Zhou Hao, the black-robed figure standing before the Demon God Ji Ning.

Zhou Hao stretched out one hand, his palm swirling with black and white energy.

Boom!

The black and white energies intertwined and surged into the sky, instantly transforming into an enormous hand that reached out to grab the incoming seven-colored sword light.

"Boom!"

The surrounding space shattered into pieces.

The giant palm formed from the black and white energies and the seven-colored sword light trembled simultaneously, canceling each other out and dissipating in mid-air, revealing once again a pair of blood-red longswords.

The pair of blood-red longswords turned around, intending to return to the Patriarch Styx, but unexpectedly, Zhou Hao's outstretched right hand, after emitting black and white energy, did not stop and was now stretched into the air.

Then, the thumb, index, and middle fingers of that hand pinched together, as if plucking a flower, and the two blood-red longswords were held in place and pulled back.

"These swords are nice. It would be a waste to leave them in your hands." Zhou Hao's free left hand swept over the two blood-red longswords.

The two longswords, which had been buzzing and struggling desperately, suddenly trembled and came to a stop in Zhou Hao's hands.

The blood-red light swirling around the swords seemed to be suppressed within the blades, revealing two incredibly ancient divine swords. Each sword bore two characters resembling tadpoles: ' Yuantu ' and ' Avici '.

"Zhou Hao, are you trying to make things difficult for me?" The Patriarch Styx, who had been sitting cross-legged under a tree in the distance, stood up and glared angrily at Zhou Hao.

"Make things difficult for you? You're not worthy." Zhou Hao sneered. "I'm merely here to clean house for Fellow Daoist Yuan."

As he spoke, he casually put away the two swords, ' Yuantu ' and ' Avici ', which he had suppressed. Then, with a rub of his hands, a string of ' Tai Chi Divine Thunder ' blasted towards the Patriarch Styx.

"Whether you, Styx, are being controlled against your will or not," Zhou Hao thought to himself.

"Let's settle both old and new scores today."

"I'll take your life and see what ' Elder Yuan ' is really up to."

Second update.

We'll continue tomorrow.

Meanwhile, we continue to solicit votes.
