In the void.

Zhou Hao and the six Supreme, a total of seven cultivator leaders, gathered in the void. Apart from Bolin and Ekong's true forms being trapped, there were a total of thirteen figures.

Among them, Zhou Hao alone occupies three positions: his main body, his Second Primordial Spirit, and his silver-clad Dharma Body.

"This is it." Supreme Hongran first looked at the ' Temple Plaza ' floating in the distance, then his gaze swept over the true forms and Dharma Body of the leaders.

"Tianshi, you speed up the process. We only have two days, which is far from enough to set up the grand formation."

"Alright," the Supreme Tianshi replied, "If my true form and my Dharma Body join forces and disregard everything, we can increase the flow of time by five thousand times."

"Our arrangements will take precedence." Supreme Hongran nodded, then looked at Supreme Mogu, "Mogu, you are responsible for isolating the void. Before we complete our arrangements, we absolutely cannot allow the Sith Clan Lord Master in the Temple Plaza to detect anything amiss."

"No problem," Supreme of Mogu replied.

"I'll help Mogu," the Supreme Dharma Body of Supreme Bolin said. "I can isolate all cause and effect and aura. With Mogu's control over space, even if those Sith Clan Lord Master specifically investigate, they won't be able to detect it."

"Alright." Supreme Hongran then assigned tasks to Dishi and Ekong.

Supreme Hongran was the longest-lived leader of cultivators and also the most powerful one before him. Everyone was used to him taking charge and making arrangements.

Moreover, most of the trap formations and other arrangements were created by Hongran. Zhou Hao and his team simply made some additions to these to make them even more powerful.

The battle two days from now will be their first proactive counterattack. They will go all out, everyone will participate, and they will strive to achieve victory in one fell swoop.

"Hongran." Seeing that Hongran had made all the arrangements, and that his Second Primordial Spirit and Dharma Body were also occupied, but his strongest primordial spirit had not been assigned any tasks, Zhou Hao, in his white robes, immediately took the initiative to ask, "What do you need my primordial spirit to do?"

"Nothing needs to be done," Supreme Hongran explained. "You just broke through and then traveled all over the universe to bring us here one by one. You probably haven't had a chance to properly comprehend your newly grasped ' Eternal Ultimate Space-Time Dao.' Moreover, the primal force you use is fundamentally different from our divine and immortal power. In the rush, I couldn't think of a good way to integrate you into the formation. It's better to let you act alone as our last trump card."

Zhou Hao suddenly realized.

Any formation, especially a combined attack formation, will ultimately have a stronger combat power if the person setting it up is stronger. However, there is still one crucial prerequisite: the forces used must be the same and able to merge.

Hongran and the others were all Supreme, including their Second Primordial Spirit and silver-clad Dharma Body. Their bodies were filled with divine power and immortal power, so forming an array was naturally no problem for them.

However, the primal force within the white-robed figure was at a higher level than divine or immortal power.

Even if Zhou Hao could control the fusion of the primal force and the power of the formation, that would make the formation unbalanced and would defeat the purpose of his own strongest combat power.

"When the great battle begins, you should hide yourself first, and then give those Sith Clan guys a good beating when the time is right. Especially Iyer, if we can kill him this time, we will have won this war completely." The two fleshy whiskers on the bald head of the Supreme Hongran stood up, and his killing intent soared to the sky.

"Understood." Zhou Hao nodded solemnly.

He then departed from this place through the void.

"I only have two days, where can I go for some secluded cultivation?" Zhou Hao flew alone through the dark void.

The first place that came to his mind was the Blue Flower Cave Abode.

After all, there is a ' Supreme Stone Platform ' there to enhance comprehension, and there is also a time acceleration array in the meditation room, which can easily maintain a time flow rate of a thousand times.

With his current speed of tearing through space and time, a round trip to the Blue Flower Cave Abode would only take the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, and would not delay important matters.

Just as Zhou Hao was about to tear through space and time to travel, another thought suddenly came to his mind while he was sensing the space and time of the universe.

"Let's go take a look there... Come to think of it, I've never been to the edge of the Chaos Universe."

Without hesitation, Zhou Hao followed his senses of the universe and spacetime, his figure slowly becoming ethereal, disappearing from the dark void.

Ordinary practitioners often say that the Chaos Universe is vast and endless, without boundaries.

In fact, the Chaos Universe does have an edge.

If one reaches the Supreme Realm, one will know that the edge of the Chaos Universe is a boundary where many spaces and times intersect.

There are countless such points of convergence in space and time, and one of them may even be right beside you. It's just that you can't see them with the naked eye, and if your spiritual level isn't high enough, you can't sense them. No matter how far you fly, you can't touch them.

Once one reaches a certain level, one can leave the Chaos Universe and arrive in the Endless Space outside by passing through those countless points of intersection in space and time.

Wow~~~

Zhou Hao, dressed in white, appeared before a point where time and space intersected.

The entire process took less than a breath.

People like Supreme Hongran, although they are at the Supreme Realm, have a very low level of understanding of the Dao of Time and Space.

To reach the point where spacetime converges, one must fly and search, ideally finding a dark void free from any energy interference, in order to pinpoint the location of the convergence point.

Zhou Hao was different.

After he comprehended the entire 'Ultimate Eternal Spacetime Path', the spacetime mysteries he grasped were the most perfect and ultimate spacetime enigma in this universe. Finding the intersection of spacetime was as easy as a thought.

Even for him, traveling within the Chaos Universe required constantly tearing through space and time, which was far less convenient and faster than leaving the Chaos Universe and going to the outside world.

Zhou Hao stretched out his finger and drew a line in the air—

"Rip~~~"

The dark void ahead was suddenly 'split apart,' as if the curtains in a dark room had been drawn back, revealing a dazzling scene outside...

It was a beautiful and breathtaking Endless Space, bursting with vibrant colors.

It is boundless.

It contains countless celestial bodies.

Countless intersecting times and spaces have given birth to one mysterious place after another.

call.

Zhou Hao stepped out of the dark void and stood in the Endless Space.

For the first time, the Chaos Universe behind him took on a physical form.

It was a colossal spherical object with a hazy, indistinct boundary, radiating vast and boundless energy.

Of course, because they were so close, Zhou Hao saw the Chaos Universe through his 'divine sense'.

What he truly saw was nothing but chaos, like a boundless 'giant wall'.

"Hmm?" Zhou Hao sensed a sudden change in the Small Universe within the chaotic space of his body.

Spacetime tunnels spontaneously formed within Small Universe, surging forth with endless chaotic energy.

"My Small Universe's origin... is improving?" Zhou Hao was pleasantly surprised to find that after these spacetime channels of unknown origin appeared and began to spew out chaotic energy, his Small Universe seemed to receive a supply and began to improve rapidly.

"Yes."

"I was previously inside the Chaos Universe, where Small Universe absorbed energy, so I was naturally affected by the Chaos Universe."

"It's even possible that what's being absorbed is just a small amount of energy remaining after the Chaos Universe has normally absorbed it."

This is similar to the relationship between a parasite and its host.

The host absorbs the energy from the outside world, and then the parasite consumes the remaining energy that the host cannot digest.

Now that the parasite is powerful enough to leave its host, it has begun to absorb energy on its own, and the energy it gains is naturally far greater than before.

"If I were to venture deeper into the Endless Space and leave the absorption range of the Chaos Universe, the improvement of the origin of the Small Universe would be even faster..." Zhou Hao looked at the countless colorful and dazzling celestial bodies within his sight, and a more vast gray space appeared in his eyes.

The Chaos Universe is the most mysterious and largest celestial body known to date.

But in the hazy, distant space, is there an even more wondrous world?

Nobody can say for sure.

When he first embarked on the path to immortality, Zhou Hao only sought to achieve Changsheng.

However, as his cultivation level has improved, the entire Chaos Universe now holds almost no secrets for him, and Changsheng is no longer his pursuit.

To explore further, to venture into more unknown lands, to climb higher peaks on the path of cultivation, to witness all the wonders of the world... these are his eternal pursuits!

However, the Sith Clan, the great enemy of cultivators, has not yet been wiped out. The wife, children, master, clansmen, and even the entire universe that he must protect are still in crisis. He cannot leave just for his own pursuit.

"One day, my footprints will traverse the entire Endless Space." Zhou Hao sat down cross-legged in the Endless Space at the edge of the Chaos Universe.

He closed his eyes slightly, no longer looking into the distance.

"Whoosh~~~" A spatial rift appeared in the void.

A warship, entirely silver with a central bulge and sharp ends, resembling a giant spindle, flew out from it.

"Iyer, we've arrived," the woman in silver robes said to the tall man in gray robes seated on the throne.

"Hmm." Iyer looked at the ' Temple Plaza ' a hundred billion miles away.

Although the surrounding void was completely silent, his expression became solemn and serious.

"Be careful," Iyer said. "The true form of ' Supreme Ekong ' has been trapped for nearly ten days. Given the speed of those native leaders, they should have arrived to rescue him by now. But so far, Duoyemo others have not found any trace of any native leaders... This is very unusual."

At his level, even when he was being squeezed and oppressed by the Origin Will in the Cultivator Universe, he was still very sensitive to the unseen forces.

The distant void appeared peaceful, but a vague sense of threat lingered in his mind.

"Even I can feel the threat... Could it be that all those natives have gathered here to set a trap for me?" Iyer shook his head.

How could that be?

They don't know my whereabouts.

And even if they knew, given their pathetic time travel speed...

Sudden--

"Rumble~~~~"

A terrifying, world-destroying power suddenly appeared, instantly filling the vast space within a radius of ten trillion miles.

This vast and powerful natural flow shattered the void into countless particles... The silver warships and Temple Plaza, enveloped within it, were naturally the first to bear the brunt.

puff.

The silver warship disintegrated at that moment, and although the Temple Plaza in the distance did not collapse, it trembled, and countless cracks appeared on its outer surface.

"Not good!"

Iyer, inside the silver warship, changed his expression. In the instant before the warship collapsed, he unfolded the ' Grassland Cloud Realm ', enveloping himself, the three Source Walker Lord Master, and the other ordinary Lord Master of the Sith Clan inside the warship.

"What's going on? How could there be a trap?"

"We can isolate ourselves from all detection. How could Cultivator Civilization possibly know our whereabouts? How could they possibly have set up a trap in advance?"

"The attack just now must have required at least six or seven indigenous leaders working together to have such terrifying power."

The three Source Walker Lord Master were somewhat surprised, while the ordinary Sith Clan Lord Master were even more alarmed.

At this moment, they were on the edge of the Ninefold Cloud Realm, and through the gaps in the clouds, they could see a chaotic and shattered scene outside.

The raging energy surge was incredibly powerful; even just a glimpse of it made everyone's hearts tremble.

"These natives have really gathered together. That's amazing!" A strange fluctuation surrounded Iyer's body, faintly connected to the core origin of the entire Grassland Cloud Realm. His gaze pierced through the chaotic energy of the outside world and landed on a huge black creature.

It was a huge black snake.

The great serpent has six heads, and within each head is the Dharma Body of a native leader.

A massive black serpent, hundreds of billions of miles long, coiled in the void, unleashing terrifying power. Suddenly, three of its heads opened their massive mouths and charged towards the ' Temple Plaza '.

"Boom~~~"

The Temple Plaza, which had already suffered extensive damage from previous bombardments and whose core essence had been largely depleted, was blasted open with three large holes before it could even withstand the attack of the three Supreme Dharma Body' serpent heads formed by an array.

"Haha~~~~ I'm out!" A black streak of light shot out from one of the large holes, followed by the three giant snake heads, which then launched a frenzied attack on the Temple Plaza.

Bang bang bang bang...

In the blink of an eye, the seven temples located in the corner of the Temple Plaza were breached. The seven Sith Clan Lord Master hiding inside, knowing that they could not escape after losing the protection of the temples, immediately self-destructed.

Iyer stood on the clouds, watching from afar, until he saw the seven Lord Master self-destruct and their true spirit energy being guided back to their home universe, instead of being devoured and destroyed by the native leaders. Only then did he lead his subordinates to move into the core palace beneath the grassland.

"Very good. We have rescued Ekong himself and forced seven Sith Clan Lord Master to self-destruct. Our first step has been successfully completed. Now, let's go all out and storm into this Grassland Cloud Realm," Supreme Hongran ordered.

"Good."

"Kill."

Zhou Hao and his men launched their attack according to the plan they had rehearsed.

The formation that forms a giant black serpent is based on the Dharma Body energy of the six leaders and the primordial energy of the universe. The Dharma Body of Supreme Hongran is the main force, leading the formation from the center. The Dharma bodies of Zhou Hao, Ekong, Dishi, Mogu, and Tianshi are the auxiliary Dharma Body and also the main offensive force.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Five enormous black serpent heads, each billions of miles long and wide, carrying a power capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, charged separately toward the ' Grassland Cloud Realm ' suspended in the void.

This is only the first wave of attacks.

Outside the Black Serpent Formation, Zhou Hao's Second Primordial Spirit and Hongran's main body were also in a well-prepared combined attack formation, linking their respective immortal and divine powers into one.

The strongest Dharma Body can generally only reach 80% of the combat power of the main body, so the combined attack formation formed entirely by the main bodies of the cultivator leaders is naturally much more powerful.

However, out of caution, their true forms will not charge forward like their Dharma Body, but will instead employ ranged attacks as a supplementary measure to complement the attacks of their Dharma Body.

"Go." Zhou Hao's Second Primordial Spirit pointed from afar.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~

A series of dazzling time storms appeared, containing incomparably profound Eternal Ultimate Space-Time Dao, crashing towards the Grassland Cloud Realm.

Those time storms in the void, along with the transformations of Yin and Yang and Tai Chi, were incredibly wondrous. They arrived before the five black snake heads that had launched the attack, like giant whips lashing across the ' Grassland Cloud Realm '.

Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!...

The thick cloud layer slowly began to crack from the outermost layer, and by the time the five black snake heads rushed in and struck, it had already shattered into a layer tens of millions of miles thick.

Whoosh~ Whoosh~~~ Whoosh~~~~

The five black snake heads joined forces in a strangulation attack, instantly tearing apart the ninth layer of clouds for hundreds of millions of miles.

Following this, attacks from the distant bodies of the other Supreme beings also crashed down.

Tens of thousands of sword beams containing the ' Origin of Myriad Dao Space ', and tens of thousands of shuttle shadows containing the ' Origin of Ten Thousand Times '... Even fearing to expose that his true self was not dead, Bolin's Dharma Body also activated the ' Origin of Ten Thousand Life and Death ', condensing its power into tens of thousands of crystal beads, which were then launched outwards.

"Rumble~~~"

The ninth layer of clouds, the most resilient layer in the ' Grassland Cloud Realm,' finally gave way under the combined attack of almost all the cultivator leaders, and a huge hole spanning nearly a billion miles was blasted open.

However, these clouds that make up the cloud layer are extremely mysterious, appearing and disappearing at will, and being formed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, they have healed most of the huge hole.

I don't have the energy to think of a title anymore. I was thinking of using 'Let's get started'...
