Wipe Them All Out, Guided by Fate!
"Master, there are many children in the Wujian Gate who are secretly controlled by this old servant. Shall I take action?"
Elder Yuan stood bowing beside the one-armed man in golden armor, just like a proper old steward.
This is what it means to be a slave to the soul.
From the soul, they are completely loyal servants of the city.
Even though he realized he was a servant and controlled by the person before him, he felt no resentment. His soul's most fundamental reason made him trust his master, and he would naturally try to help him.
Although Zhou Hao had not yet returned to his original form and was still the one-armed golden-armored man, the Elder Yuan was controlled by his soul and could sense that the person in front of him and the white-robed Zhou Hao who was fighting against the Wujian Gate were the same person and clone. Therefore, he took the initiative to offer his advice.
As expected, they secretly controlled quite a few powerful individuals.
The one-armed man in golden armor smiled slightly, but his gaze towards the sky was chillingly cold.
"Then let your servants do it."
While the Elder Yuan spoke slowly about controlling his soul, the actual speed of the battle between his soul and true spirit was extremely fast.
At this time, the Wujian Gate had nearly sixty powerful members who joined forces to form two large formations.
A ' Boundless Demon God Formation ' was formed, headed by the Lord of Myriad Demons and commanding thirty-six True God Dao Ancestor.
A ' Great Annihilation Formation ' was formed, headed by the Demonic Hand Dao Ancestor and commanding nineteen Lords of Lord of All Things.
Both formations were created by Huan Wood Master with countless efforts. They were composed of nearly sixty True God Dao Ancestor, and were amplified by the primordial energy of the Myriad Demon Realm. Finally, they supported the nine-story tower ' Haotian Tower ' that was crushing down.
Furthermore, the formation Wujian Gate, composed of countless immortals and demons led by true immortals and gods, created an overwhelming aura, which contrasted sharply with the isolated and powerless state of Zhou Hao in the white robe high in the sky. His Haotian Tower, which he controlled, was bombarded by countless spells and magical treasures and trembled as if it could not withstand the attack.
"No matter how powerful his magical artifacts are, or how immense his magical power is, he is ultimately just a human being."
"Let's join forces and kill him to avenge Ink Bamboo."
"Kill him, then go to a powerful leader in Nuwa Faction."
The powerful figures of the Wujian Gate were all frantically channeling their magical and divine power.
Whether it was Zhou Hao's arrogance in wanting to wipe out the entire Wujian Gate, or his breaking through the world membrane of the Myriad Demon Realm to kill Ink Bamboo, or the millions of weak Celestial Immortals who died under the crushing force of time and space, all of these made the powerful figures of the Wujian Gate hate Zhou Hao to the bone.
Sudden--
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The energy within the two combined attack formations surged.
"Lu Ya, what are you doing?"
"Kunpeng!"
"Biyou?"
The powerful beings who had been fighting alongside him against the enemy suddenly turned against him and launched a frenzied attack on the powerful beings around him. In an instant, the two great formations collapsed, and six or seven powerful beings died.
"The Demon Hand!!!" The Lord of Myriad Demons' eyes turned red.
The ' Demonic Hand Dao Ancestor ', dressed in purple with an exquisitely beautiful face like a fairy, was being attacked by eight Lord of All Things Envoy.
More than ten ape arms wreathed in flames swept across her body, followed by a sweeping force comparable to that of Ancestor God that completely destroyed her divine body, turning it into dust as if snowflakes were melting away.
The difference is too obvious.
The Demonic Hand Dao Ancestor was merely a True God, and he died on the spot, leaving not even his true spirit behind.
This scene sent a shiver down the spines of the other powerful members of the Wujian Gate.
The Demonic Hand Dao Ancestor, this extraordinary woman who was the most powerful demon among demons in the Wujian Chaosworld, this great being who once fought against the Lady Nuwa... has she truly perished?
Have we lost another great leader?
"What's going on? What exactly happened?" The Master Hengmu was locked in battle with the great demon god of Cixiu, stared at the sky in disbelief, his mind reeling and completely dumbfounded.
Why is there such sudden chaos within our organization?
Not counting Lu Ya, Kunpeng, and others who joined later from the Source River Lineage, Biyou and the others are old brothers who came out of the Wujian Chaos Great World together!
Why would you turn against your own people?
Why is that?!
"You dare to be stunned when fighting me?" The Great Demon God of Cixiu sneered inwardly, about to deliver a fatal blow to the Master Hengmu.
"Cixiu, don't kill him." A voice came from below, causing the Great Demon God Cixiu to pause, and the emerald tail that was about to pierce through the head of the Master Hengmu also stopped in mid-air.
Wow~~~
The one-armed man in golden armor transformed into Zhou Hao in white robes.
He looked at the chaotic and helpless Wujian Gate powerhouses in the air, his eyes full of mockery.
Isn't there no offline option?
Are they willing to use any underhanded tactics just to win?
Before I die, I'll let you experience what it's like to be suddenly killed by a traitor, so that the countless lives lost to your despicable methods over the years won't have been in vain.
"Boom!"
Another nine-story tower, hundreds of millions of miles tall, appeared.
However, this ' Haotian Tower ' is not in the air, but in front of the Hall of Myriad Demons.
"What is that?" The Lord of Myriad Demons, the Master Hengmu, and the others were all stunned.
Two white-robed Zhou Hao, one high in the sky and one on the ground, and two terrifying nine-story towers?
Previously, just one being was enough to make them fight desperately; now, with another being so close, and a group of traitors entangled in the battle...
"The situation cannot be reversed, let's go quickly." The Lord of Myriad Demons gathered up the powerful beings who were fighting the traitor beside him, and then transformed into a stream of light and flew towards the other powerful beings and the Master Hengmu.
These powerful individuals were relatively easy to deal with; aside from those who died or rebelled, only about twenty remained.
But there was nothing that could be done about the billions of immortals and demons below.
The formation was too large, and the number of people was too many; it was simply impossible to gather them up and take them away.
The Lord of Myriad Demons' heart is bleeding.
But he had no choice.
He knew very well that if they didn't escape quickly, and they all died here, then the legacy of the Wujian Gate would truly be extinguished.
High in the sky.
Zhou Hao's strongest true form looks down from below.
"Wind Demon, you still want to leave at a time like this?" Zhou Hao's eyes were cold as he pointed downwards.
Even with billions of immortals and demons below, he did not hesitate for a moment.
The Wujian Gate deserves to die!
Whether it's the collapse of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, or stirring up wars in countless worlds within the Three Realms, causing immense suffering and destruction...
The crimes of the Wujian Gate to count, and even a hundred deaths could not atone for them!
"Rumble~~~"
The divine weapon essence and the chaotic world power contained within the two Haotian Tower were fully activated.
When a single Haotian Tower goes berserk, its terrifying power is something even a Chaos Great World couldn't withstand, let alone two.
Fortunately, Zhou Hao did not want to damage the Three Realms. Under his deliberate control, he contained the violent power of the Haotian Tower between the two towers, and the actual amount of energy that leaked out was less than one ten-thousandth.
Yet this terrifying energy, less than one ten-thousandth of its original amount, surged in all directions, instantly blasting billions of immortals and demons in the surrounding area into dust, and even the Myriad Demon Realm...
"Boom~~~"
A loud bang.
The sky is falling and the earth is cracking!
The Myriad Demon Realm has crumbled.
It was like an oval ball in the void being squeezed and burst by a tremendous force; the dazzling light dimmed the entire Three Realms.
Silence reigned in the void.
The original location of the Myriad Demon Realm is now just a chilling darkness.
Not far away.
Zhou Hao put away his clone and the two Haotian Tower.
Beside him stood the astonished and trembling ' Elder Yuan ' and the Great Demon God of Cixiu.
Call!
A crystalline light appeared in Zhou Hao's hand, within which a figure could be vaguely discerned.
"Hengmu, considering that you took care of and protected Xiangcao and never let her participate in the battle, I will allow you to reincarnate with a true spirit. In the future... there will be no more Master Hengmu in the Three Realms, nor will there be Wujian Gate." Zhou Hao's primal force seeped into the true spirit in his hand, imprinting a restriction seal on Master Hengmu's memory.
Even if the Master Hengmu is reincarnated, as long as his magical power does not exceed that of Zhou Hao in his current life, he will not be able to regain his memories of this life.
After doing all this, Zhou Hao put away the true spirit of the Master Hengmu and would give it to Xiangcao after returning to the Heavenly Realm, so that she could use it to send the spirit to be reincarnated, in order to repay the Master Hengmu for the years of care and karma.
Boom~~~~
Suddenly, a huge rift in the void tore open in the distance, and figures flew out from it.
"Young friend Changsheng."
"Junior brother."
"Big brother."
Suiren-shi, Rulai, Lü Dongbin, Ji Ning, and a host of powerful figures from Nuwa Faction have all arrived.
All eyes turned to the white-robed youth standing in the void.
They had all witnessed the battle that had shaken the Three Realms before, even through their thoughts and mental power.
However, witnessing firsthand the collapse of the Wujian Gate's strongest lair, the ' Myriad Demon Realm,' with countless fragments of magical treasures and weapons floating in the void amidst the darkness, still shocked these powerful figures, leaving them in disbelief.
"Young friend Changsheng, Wujian Gate?" Suiren-shi asked, holding his breath.
"Extinct." Zhou Hao turned to the powerful figures in Nuwa Faction. "I have committed too many atrocities today. The remaining remnants of the Wujian Gate in other worlds are now yours to deal with."
Since all the powerful figures of the Wujian Gate were already dead, Zhou Hao couldn't be bothered to worry about what to do with the remaining small fry.
"That's it..."
"There will be no more Wujian Gate from now on?"
The powerful figures murmured to themselves, as if in a dream.
"Something's not right." The Bodhi Ancestor, who was lagging behind, suddenly frowned. "Quickly sense the guidance of fate."
"The guidance of fate?" The powerful beings were taken aback, and they all began to sense the mysterious guidance of fate in the Three Realms through their control of the Heavenly Dao.
"Only one of us, Fellow Daoist Changsheng, can survive? To survive, we must eliminate the other."
"Wasn't it the Wujian Gate before? How come the Wujian Gate was destroyed and replaced by Changsheng Daoist Changsheng?"
"What happened?"
The powerful figures looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Isn't this just making us kill each other?"
Leaders and powerful beings such as Suiren-shi Rulai frowned, questioning the new guidance for the fate of the Three Realms.
However, some powerful figures still had a hint of strangeness in their eyes when they looked at Zhou Hao and the Elder Yuan and the Cixiu Great Demon God beside him.
Zhou Hao hadn't paid any attention to it at first.
He was secretly communicating with ' Elder Yuan '.
When they learned that the powerful leaders secretly controlled by the ' Elder Yuan ' included Fuxi-shi, the water god Gonggong, and four or five top True God Dao Ancestor and Kuafu Ancestor God and the Thunder God Celestial Venerable, as well as more than ten ordinary True God Dao Ancestor, who accounted for nearly 30% of the powerful figures in Nuwa Faction, they were secretly alarmed.
"Fortunately, Uncle Xiaoyao and Uncle Lü Dongbin were not secretly controlled."
Zhou Hao thought to himself.
"Hmm?" Zhou Hao looked at the powerful figures in Nuwa Faction. "Why are you all looking at me?"
"Changsheng Daoist Changsheng, sense the guidance of the destiny of the Three Realms." Bodhi's voice was heavy. "Just now, when I saw the destruction of the Wujian Gate, I tried to sense the guidance of destiny to confirm it, but I discovered... the current guidance is that only one of us, you or I, can survive."
"You and me?" Zhou Hao frowned.
What on earth is the primordial consciousness of the Three Realms up to?
Doesn't He know that I could destroy the Three Realms in the blink of an eye?
"Master, I know the reason," the Elder Yuan transmitted his voice from the side.
"Why?" Zhou Hao raised an eyebrow. "Is it also because you were secretly guiding things?"
The river of fate in the Three Realms is merely a part of the Heavenly Dao operating within the Three Realms.
The Heavenly Dao operating in the Three Realms possesses a certain primordial consciousness, much like the spirits of magical artifacts.
However, that primordial consciousness only possesses some basic instincts and is not even considered a living being. It simply operates according to the Heavenly Dao of the Chaos Universe, from birth to destruction, and then reincarnates again to start the next chaotic era.
If no one interferes, the Heavenly Dao operates fairly in the Three Realms. Even if the beings it nurtures are too powerful and put a heavy burden on the Three Realms, it usually guides the beings to leave, unlike now, where it is clearly instructed that they must fight or die.
He perused countless ancient texts in the Dao Treasury Hall of the Void Holy City, and had long harbored doubts about the fact that the Nuwa Faction and the Wujian Faction were destined to fight each other under the guidance of fate, with only one side able to survive.
In fact, after enslaving and controlling the ' Elder Yuan ', Zhou Hao could have chosen not to destroy the Wujian Gate, but instead used the Oath Stone to force all powerful beings to make a life-bound oath, thus restoring peace to the Three Realms.
It was only because the Wujian Gate had committed grave sins that he was determined to destroy it, which is why he took direct action to eliminate it.
Now the Three Realms are giving guidance again, wanting him and Nuwa Faction to fight each other again. Zhou Hao absolutely does not believe that there is no one guiding or influencing this.
"Of course not this old servant," Elder Yuan shook his head, "It is the Heart Demon Lord of the Wujian Gate."
"The one who merged with the Heavenly Dao back then?" Zhou Hao's heart stirred.
"It's him," Elder Yuan affirmed. "The Wujian Gate children I controlled before heard Wind Demon and Bu Xiu say that they can contact the Heart Demon Lord. Many of the things Wujian Gate has done are instigated and provoked by the Heart Demon Lord behind the scenes."
"So it was him." Zhou Hao realized.
That explains it.
The Heart Demon Lord merged with the Heavenly Dao Heavenly Dao, becoming a part of it, and thus was able to access the original consciousness of the Three Realms.
With that old demon's cunning, deceiving those with only basic instincts and primal consciousness would be a piece of cake.
But how can we find him?
Zhou Hao frowned.
Although he could easily destroy the Three Realms, that would be using brute force to break the law.
If one wants to reshape the Heavenly Dao of the Three Realms without destroying Three Realms, and to root out the Heart Demon Lord lurking within them... one's magical power is sufficient, but one's realm is insufficient.
At the very least, one must be at the World Realm, and not just any World God of the God-Demon path; one must be Chaos Immortal of the Qi Refining path...
"Rumble~~~~"
The Three Realms trembled, and endless chaotic power surged.
"It's the Heavenly Realm!" Zhou Hao's eyes lit up, his gaze piercing through endless space and time as he looked towards Kunlun Mountain, the ancestral home of the Daoist Dao Sect in the Heavenly Realm.
"What a loud noise!"
"Such powerful chaotic energy far surpasses that of the Dao Ancestor!"
The powerful figures in Nuwa Faction also sensed the tremors coming from the Heavenly Realm.
The enormous chaotic vortex was enough to make their hearts pound with fear, even just by looking at it with the naked eye.
Zhou Hao laughed.
It's Master!
Master, you've finally broken through!
Second update.
We'll continue tomorrow.
