The Greatest Prodigies of Two Eras Meet!

These years.

As Zhou Hao comprehended the Blue Flower Chaos Restriction, his understanding of the power of the universe's origin deepened.

Both the Limitless Power and the Taiji Power have reached the fifth level.

He had just comprehended a new principle in the Longevity Realm: the 'Water Path to Heavenly Dao '.

Although it is only one of the weakest of the Five Heavenly Dao Heavenly Dao, it still provides a significant boost to both the divine soul and the Ancestor Immortal.

Although what he showed this time was only the last remaining clone of his Second Primordial Spirit, and he had only achieved the second-grade Ancestor Immortal, coupled with his divine body comparable to a Chaos Treasure, as well as various supernatural powers and secret techniques, it was not something that True God Dao Ancestor below the leader level could easily withstand.

"Rumble~~~"

Just as the Patriarch Styx manipulated the Saha Sacred Tree to block a barrage of black and white divine lightning, a figure appeared before him.

Even faster than that figure was the Great Chaos Hole Palm Divine Power, a palm containing a vast world, and that world was collapsing and forming pitch-black 'holes'.

"Clean house?" Patriarch Styx sneered, raising both palms.

Wow~~~

His two palms transformed into a surging river of blood, striking directly at Zhou Hao's Great Chaos Hole Palm.

"Bang!!!"

The entire world suddenly trembled, and Zhou Hao's expression changed.

"They've really hidden it well. They've even mastered ' Whirling River,' one of the three great supernatural powers of the Wujian Gate." Zhou Hao squinted at the Patriarch Styx.

Having blocked his fatal blow, the Patriarch Styx was also badly injured; the blood river formed by his two palms had already dissipated.

"My Blood Sea Body is naturally compatible with the Whirling River Secret Manual. But you, with such a short cultivation period, not only have you comprehended two of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao, but your attainment in the Destruction Heavenly Dao is also so profound." Patriarch Styx looked at Zhou Hao in astonishment.

The Whirling River manual he used was a closely guarded secret of the Wujian Gate, and one of the most important ultimate techniques of the former king of the Wujian Chaosworld, the ' Heart Demon Lord '.

The Heart Demon Lord was able to quickly rule the entire Wujian Chaosworld back then was largely due to the great contributions of the three secret manuals: <Seven Hearts>, <Whirling River>, and Shadowless. Their power was naturally extraordinary.

When Styx and his companions joined the Wujian Gate, their first request was to obtain these three supreme secret manuals.

After mastering the Whirling River technique, Styx became arrogant and overconfident in his greatly improved supernatural abilities, not even taking the veteran leaders of Nuwa Faction seriously. Little did he expect that Zhou Hao, a mere junior, would cause him to suffer some hidden losses.

"There are many things you haven't thought of yet." Zhou Hao revealed his true form as the Asura God with eight faces and twenty-four arms, and once again swung his palm to attack the Styx.

Over the years, he had become intimately familiar with the true form of the Asura God, and now, wanting to quickly resolve the Styx, he naturally went all out from the start.

After all, what appeared was only an avatar, far weaker than the main body that had merged with eleven avatars. If it were to face the Styx, whose strength had greatly increased, it would be easy to suffer a loss if it tried to hold back.

Boom boom boom...

Twenty-four arms transformed into countless palm and fist shadows, their power overwhelming.

Upon seeing this, the Patriarch Styx also manifested Three Heads and Six Arms.

His six arms transformed into six surging rivers of blood, blocking Zhou Hao's overwhelming offensive.

At the same time, the Saha Sacred Tree behind him rustled, and thousands of branches and leaves, like steel whips Iron Mace, lashed out at Zhou Hao from all directions.

"In the past, I was always the one crushing others with the Saha Treasure Tree, but this time I'm the one getting whipped." Zhou Hao couldn't resist making a self-deprecating remark.

He then manipulated the two fundamental forces, the Limitless Power and the Taiji Power, to condense them above his head into a huge ' Taiji Diagram ', blocking the lashes of countless branches and leaves from the Saha Sacred Tree.

Bang bang bang bang bang...

In an instant, the two figures engaged in a fierce battle.

... Outside the Great World.

Bodhi, Suiren-shi, Rulai, and other powerful figures in Nuwa Faction were all deeply disappointed when they saw Ji Ning facing a desperate situation.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Hao appeared at the most crucial moment and saved Ji Ning.

"Haha, I was wondering why Fellow Changsheng was so slow to arrive after receiving my message. It turns out you were prepared all along." Bodhi laughed heartily, completely relieved.

He had personally witnessed Zhou Hao's prowess in the Ancient Ruins. With such a powerful figure protecting his disciple, what was there to worry about?

The one who should be worried is that damned Styx.

"Don't be too happy yet," Kunpeng True God said coldly.

They had set a trap to kill Ji Ning, but they had already promised to give the Wujian Gate a "pledge of allegiance," and now they had taken all the benefits ahead of time. Their sure-fire kill plan was ruined by the sudden appearance of Zhou Hao, Kunpeng True God's expression was naturally not good.

"Of course I won't be happy too soon. How can I be happy if I don't kill you traitors?" Bodhi's face turned cold, and he raised his hands to attack Kunpeng True God again.

At this moment, in this void...

Bodhi battles the Kunpeng True God.

Suiren-shi fought against Master Hengmu.

Rulai Demonic Hand Dao Ancestor.

Six top-tier True God Dao Ancestor, Dao Ancestors, and leaders engaged in a fierce battle.

"Boom!" The void trembled violently, alarming the entire Three Realms.

A host of powerful beings, either in person or by manifesting their thoughts, rushed toward this place.

The fastest to arrive were those summoned by Bodhi himself via telepathy.

"Master, I, Old Sun, have arrived."

A loud shout suddenly echoed from the void.

A monkey-like figure suddenly appeared, wielding a staff, and fiercely slashed at the Kunpeng True God who was fighting Bodhi.

Enveloped by the fierce aura emanating from the ape, the Kunpeng True God's expression changed, and he suddenly waved his hand forward.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

Four figures appeared out of thin air; they were none other than the four Dao Ancestors of the Asura Demon Cult, known to the outside world as the Four Great Demon Kings.

"Monkey, your opponents are us." The leader of the four demon kings, ' Zizaitian Poxun ', was wearing jet-black armor and wielding two black broadswords. His aura was equally fierce. After shouting, he raised his swords to meet the monkey's club that was slashing down.

"Bang!" Mara was thrown backward by the Zizaitian Poxun, but he was caught by Moyitian Shiva and managed to regain his footing in mid-air.

"How did this monkey become so powerful?" Zizaitian Poxun, couldn't believe it.

He and Sun Wukong were old rivals; they fought many battles back in the Heavenly Realm.

Originally, Sun Wukong was only considered powerful among ordinary True God Dao Ancestor because of his body, which was due to the Eight-Nine Arcane Art.

But now, based on that blow just now, Zizaitian Poxun clearly knows that Sun Wukong has taken another step forward, entering the first level of a top-tier True God Dao Ancestor, and is even close to the leader level.

"You think I've been lying low all these years for nothing? Die, all of you!" After cleaving away Mara the Great Free Heaven with his staff, Sun Wukong Zizaitian Poxun his attack, his golden staff engulfing all four demon kings.

"Zixiu your arrogance!" The four demon kings, though outwardly fierce, were actually weak-willed. They hastily unleashed the combined attack secret technique of the Asura Demon Cult, desperately joining forces to finally stop Sun Wukong.

Seeing that even the four demon kings, working together, were at a disadvantage, the Kunpeng True God became somewhat anxious.

When the Kunpeng True God saw a thin old man wearing tattered patchwork clothes and holding a broken fan emerge from the vortex passage, he became even more anxious.

They are now tied down by their opponents, the newcomer Jidian is unstoppable, and Styx is fighting Zhou Hao fiercely inside the Great World.

If Jidian were to break the Saha Sacred Tree from the outside again, and Zhou Hao were to attack from both inside and outside, the Styx would be unable to withstand it.

The moment this thought crossed his mind, Bodhi shouted, "Jidian, go and destroy the Saha Sacred Tree in the Styx!"

Although Bodhi did not know why Zhou Hao was hiding his strength and fighting with the Styx, he was not the only one hiding his strength. Suiren-shi also did not reveal his newly mastered escape technique. Therefore, Bodhi assumed that Zhou Hao also wanted to hide his strength.

Hearing Bodhi's shout, Jidian also stretched out his golden hand and grabbed at the Saha Sacred Tree that covered the entire Great World. Kunpeng True God couldn't hold back any longer and shouted through his voice, "Lu Ya, why aren't you making a move? Are you going to just watch us die here?"

"Here he comes." With a cheerful voice, a middle-aged man with a bare chest and a large belly walked out of the void.

The middle-aged man held a yellow gourd in his hand. Seeing that Jidian's golden Buddhist hand had already grasped the Saha Sacred Tree, he was not in a hurry and opened the gourd stopper with a smile.

Wow~~~

A tiny figure, about seven inches long, with eyebrows and eyes, flew out of the gourd and stared at Jidian with white light in its eyes.

Jidian felt his mind and soul suddenly stagnate.

All they heard was the middle-aged man chuckling as he said, "Please turn around, my darling."

Laugh!

The golden hand that Jidian had stretched out was severed at the wrist.

"Fifth level of mental power!?" Jidian's expression changed.

Bodhi, Suiren-shi, Rulai, and others were also shocked.

The fifth level of mental strength is a realm that even leaders have never reached.

Jidian was a top-tier expert among the True God Dao Ancestor. The fact that he could so easily sever Ji Dian's hand meant that Ji Dian possessed leadership-level combat power.

What exactly is going on with the lineage of the Four Ancestors of Source River!?

First came the Styx, then Lu Ya. Originally, they were both just top-tier True God Dao Ancestor. How come they have all made great progress in strength this time, with one or two of them reaching the level of leaders?

Especially Lu Ya!

It should be known that improving one's mental strength is extremely difficult. Looking across the Three Realms, only the great god Houyi reached this level, leaving behind many legends in the Three Realms.

Lu Ya's mental strength has now reached the fifth level?

I've never heard of him being good at mental exertion.

When the Master Hengmu of the Wujian Gate and the Demonic Hand Dao Ancestor saw Lu Ya's attack shock the entire audience, smiles immediately appeared on their solemn faces.

"These Styx and Lu Ya are truly extraordinary. One has mastered the <Whirling River>, and the other has mastered the <Seven Hearts>. With such talent, it's no wonder they are unwilling to be overshadowed by Elder Yuan." The Demonic Hand Dao Ancestor said with a smile.

"They are no ordinary people. They are truly well hidden," sighed the Master Hengmu.

He still finds it unbelievable that the Four Ancestors of Source River, who had always been united in their actions, would part ways, and that Styx, Kunpeng, and Lu Ya would not choose the Nuwa Faction, which had the upper hand, but instead chose their own side.

... Regardless of what others might think, Lu Ya activated his magic weapon to sever one of Jidian's hands, and then activated the seven-inch-tall figure in front of him once more.

Wow~~~

A beam of white light Jidian, this time aiming to sever his head.

"Not good!" Jidian's heart pounded wildly. He waved his fan wildly, but the golden light he emitted, meant to protect him from the Buddhist aura, was completely useless and could not stop the incoming white light at all.

"This treasure of mine is not something that ordinary magic can withstand," Lu Ya chuckled.

But at that moment, Lu Ya's expression changed.

He stared in disbelief at the figure that had appeared in the void.

Emerging from the same spatial vortex as Jidian was a Woodcutter dressed in straw sandals and cloth clothes, carrying an axe.

As soon as the Woodcutter appeared, he swung the axe he was carrying on his shoulder forward.

Wow.

The axe looked ordinary, but the white light that even the golden aura protecting Jidian Buddhism couldn't block was cleaved apart by the axe blade.

The axe blade, moving faster than light, cleaved directly at the tiny figure hovering in front of Lu Ya.

"No!" Lu Ya hurriedly tried to take back the treasure, even attempting to use his body to block it.

This is a treasure passed down by its master, a treasure forged by sacrificing all his future potential for advancement and exhausting the souls of more than ten Dao Ancestors in his possession. It is more precious than his own life.

But everything happened too fast.

From the moment the Woodcutter appeared to the moment his axe struck, the blade flashing as it cleaved through the air, everything happened too fast.

"Crush it," the Woodcutter said indifferently in a soft voice.

puff.

The seven-inch-tall figure shattered instantly, transforming into countless streams of light that vanished into the void.

"Houyi! You are Houyi!" Lu Ya's eyes were bloodshot, all traces of his previous composure gone.

Suiren-shi, Rulai, and Bodhi all stopped what they were doing, Master Hengmu, Demonic Hand Dao Ancestor, Kunpeng True God also stood in the void.

All eyes turned to the Woodcutter standing there with his axe.

The Woodcutter had an ordinary appearance and dressed very simply.

But that seemingly ordinary axe strike had shocked all the powerful figures present.

The Woodcutter ignored Lu Ya and the gazes of the other powerful beings, his eyes fixed on the great world hidden by the Saha Treasure Tree.

A figure in black robes had appeared there sometime earlier.

"Can you help me?" the Woodcutter asked with interest.

"No need." The figure in black robes turned around with a smile; it was Zhou Hao's Second Primordial Spirit, who had just come from the Longevity Realm.

"I was just worried that my Saha Treasure Tree was progressing too slowly when the Styx sent me the Mother Tree."

As soon as he finished speaking, a giant hand, as large as the Great World, reached out from Zhou Hao's hand and grabbed the dense canopy of the Saha Sacred Tree.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, the entire world seemed to shift slightly in Zhou Hao's direction in the void due to the immense force.

Looking at that giant tree again, it was as if the entire tree had been uprooted from that great world.

"Rumble~~~"

A deafening roar, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing, emanated from that great world. A large portion of the sky and firmament of that world shattered, revealing the continents and oceans within.

Zhou Hao, holding onto the Saha Sacred Tree with one hand, reached into the shattered hole in the sky with the other, grabbing at the blood river flying in the air.

The once mighty river of blood, stretching for nearly ten million miles and blotting out the sky, was like a weed in front of this giant hand.

"This is bad." Even the Patriarch Styx hadn't expected disaster to strike from the sky.

Under the frenzied attacks of Zhou Hao's clone, he was already unable to withstand them and had no choice but to transform into a river of blood to temporarily avoid the onslaught. However, first, the Saha Sacred Tree was uprooted by a tremendous force, and then a giant hand descended.

He wanted to escape.

But this giant hand is almost the size of the entire world; where can he escape to?

"Call."

Beside the River of Blood, a figure flashed and appeared—a man with blue hair and a red robe.

"Wind Demon?" Zhou Hao was shocked by the speed of the Lord of Myriad Demons, and at the same time, by his confidence.

How dare they show up to rescue people while I'm on the offensive?

Boom!

Zhou Hao's main body continued to extend his large hand, directly enveloping the newly appeared Lord of Myriad Demons.

However, Zhou Hao discovered that when the Lord of Myriad Demons was flying with the Patriarch Styx, the surrounding space was changing inch by inch.

Despite the speed being only about a million miles in an instant, Zhou Hao felt that even if his true self in the Void Holy City returned and could reach twice the speed of light, covering 1.2 million miles in an instant, he still wouldn't be able to catch the Lord of Myriad Demons.

"Whoosh."

The Lord of Myriad Demons and the Patriarch Styx disappeared within Zhou Hao's massive hand.

When he reappeared, he was standing with a group of powerful figures, including the Master Hengmu, the Demonic Hand Dao Ancestor, Lu Ya, and Kunpeng.

Seeing this, Zhou Hao withdrew his supernatural powers and stepped over to the Woodcutter's side.

"Houyi?" Zhou Hao asked.

"It's me," the Woodcutter nodded.

"I've long admired your name," Zhou Hao said with a smile.

"Likewise," the Woodcutter laughed.

All eyes turned to the two figures who were exchanging pleasantries as if no one else was around.

One is a monstrous being who defied the heavens in ancient times, and whose power shocked countless powerful beings, even leaders.

One is a peerless prodigy who rose to prominence the fastest in the Three Realms era, and who repeatedly challenges the limits of cognition...

When two such extraordinary talents meet, even the arrogant and mad Demonic Hand Dao Ancestor, whose strength is faintly the greatest in the Three Realms, the Lord of Myriad Demons, holds his breath and looks on with awe.

Whoosh!

Zhou Hao's clone carried Ji Ning out of that great world and came to his main body's side, then entered his main body's personal immortal Immortal Mansion.

"He also has the ability to create clones," the Lord of Myriad Demons thought to himself.

His dream of having his strength comparable to, or even slightly superior to, that of Nuwa Faction, thanks to the addition of Dao Ancestors from the Origin Source River Lineage such as Styx, Lu Ya, and Kunpeng, was shattered once again after witnessing Zhou Hao and Houyi's successive attacks.

"At least there is still hope." The Lord of Myriad Demons mustered his courage and looked at the powerful figures in Nuwa Faction, especially the most conspicuous Zhou Hao and Houyi.

"Today's events all stemmed from the Bodhi disciples' massacre of my Wujian Gate's various strongholds. I will not go into the details," the Lord of Myriad Demons said. "My Wujian Gate has only one request: Ji Ning must never again intervene in the struggle for destiny, and all previous grudges will be wiped clean. I will also have Bu Xiu hand over the soul of the Daoist companion he sought."

Standing next to Zhou Hao, Ji Ning immediately became excited.

"Finally, finally we can save my senior sister..."

First update.

The second update will be tonight.

I'll have a few thoughts to share later, about my plans for Suifeng.
