Two Love Gu Worms

In the underground cave.

Zhou Hao, who was ten zhang tall, faced Ren Jiu True Person, who was also ten zhang tall, and a Red-Clawed Golden Crow that was over twenty zhang tall, hundreds of zhang away. His expression immediately became solemn.

"To be able to have a divine beast at the Myriad Phenomena Realm as a spirit beast, this young man must have at least a Primordial Spirit Daoist behind him, and possibly even Earth Immortal or a Loose Immortal."

Although many humans were able to subdue powerful demons as spirit beasts when they were Xiantian Lifeform, that was only when Xiantian Lifeform.

It is important to know that humans have high comprehension and many of them break through to the Purple Mansion or even the Myriad Phenomena, but very few great demons break through to the Purple Mansion.

Even the ancient demons of the Purple Mansion generally do not submit to humans, let alone divine beasts at the Myriad Phenomena Realm.

Even the proud and arrogant divine beasts submit only to the strong. That young man in fine clothes was merely a True Person of the Myriad Manifestations Myriad Phenomena True Person who Qi Refining Path. Even with a set of top-grade Earth-rank magic weapons and flying swords, he could at most be comparable to a True Myriad Phenomena Manifestations Realm who had reached the peak of the Qi Refining Path realm.

A divine beast at the Myriad Phenomena Realm is comparable to a human body refiner at the Perfection of the Myriad Phenomena.

"Red Claw, kill him!" Yu Zichi at Zhou Hao with hatred.

The instant Zhou Hao got close, he even smelled the scent of death.

Being forced into this situation by an unknown nobody was something he, who considered himself of noble status, could not tolerate.

Swoosh~~~

The enormous Red-Clawed Golden Crow was incredibly fast, its body transforming into a rainbow of light, instantly covering a distance of hundreds of feet.

Its outstretched wings resembled a scimitar, slicing through the heavens and leaving dazzling traces of light in the air.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The two Ou Huang Mace met the wing-shaped blade light of the Red-Clawed Golden Crow one after another.

At this moment, the mist energy within Zhou Hao's Sea of Consciousness Blue Flower space had permeated his entire body, causing his divine body and divine power to rise beyond their previous levels, allowing him to repeatedly repel the frenzied attacks of the Red-Clawed Golden Crow.

Boom! Boom! Boom!...

Each collision between the Ou Huang Mace and the Red-Clawed Golden Crow caused a loud bang and distortion in the surrounding air.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the entire underground cave was destroyed beyond recognition, with countless boulders crashing down and the stone layers at the top cracking open with numerous fissures.

"Such overwhelming power."

"How could it be so powerful?"

"He's actually on par with Red Claw?"

Yu Zichi and the others were all dumbfounded. Even from a distance, they felt as if the world was about to collapse.

Regardless of Yu Zichi and the others' shock and anger, after fighting the Red-Clawed Golden Crow for a while, Zhou Hao discovered that this divine beast was not as powerful as he had imagined.

"That's right! The Red-Clawed Golden Crow's strength lies in its divine beast body, comparable to a God-Devil Body Refining expert at the peak of the Myriad Phenomena Manifestations realm."

"However, its understanding of the Dao is too poor. At best, it can only grasp the True Meaning of the Dao, and it can only exert seventy or eighty percent of its full potential."

"My Dao of the Vortex and Dao of the Gale are both at the Domain Realm of the Dao realm, where even ten parts of my power are enough to unleash thirteen or fourteen parts of its might, and with the amplification of the Blue Flower Mist..."

"As long as you leverage your superior skill level, defeating it shouldn't be difficult."

Zhou Hao instantly understood.

Even though the threat posed by the Red-Clawed Golden Crow was not as great as he had imagined, he still spared some of his attention during the battle to condense the <Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light> in his Purple Mansion Origin Sea.

"Yo!"

The Red-Clawed Golden Crow's eyes were filled with anxiety. The human man before him moved with ghostly speed. Although his straight-line speed was not as fast as his own, he was no match for his opponent in short-range movement.

Moreover, his bronze mace could be as fierce as a blazing fire, as gentle as a flowing stream, or Howling Gale, making it extremely uncomfortable.

Boom~~~~

Suddenly, the Red-Clawed Golden Crow's entire body burst forth with golden light, and the air inside the cave seemed to boil instantly.

Innate Divine Power - Solar Golden Flame!

"Haha, I cultivate the Chiming Nine Heavens Map, and my divine body is nurtured by the Solar True Fire. Why would I be afraid of your Solar Golden Flame?" Zhou Hao laughed, and the Golden Crow Divine Pattern on his back lit up, completely ignoring the terrifying temperature of the Solar Golden Flame.

However, despite saying this, Zhou Hao knew very well that the Red-Clawed Golden Crow's innate divine ability, Solar Golden Flame, was not just about burning opponents with terrifying flames.

The most terrifying thing is that when the Red-Clawed Golden Crow uses its innate divine power, its speed and strength will increase dramatically, just like a human using a forbidden secret technique.

Sure enough, the Red-Clawed Golden Crow with its body enveloped in golden flames moved with incredible speed, arriving in front of Zhou Hao in an instant.

"Laugh!"

Sharp hooves slashed across Zhou Hao's chest, and the powerful impact sent him flying, crashing heavily into the cave wall.

"So fast!" Divine power surged in Zhou Hao's chest, and the three wounds healed in an instant.

In that instant, he had exerted all his strength to move, but he only managed to avoid the vital organs of the head, allowing the Red-Clawed Golden Crow to injure his body.

"That beast almost ripped my head off." Zhou Hao felt a lingering fear.

God-Devil Body Refining to the level of rebirth through a drop of blood ( at the Purple Mansion level), although one will not die from having their head destroyed... one will lose control of their body.

Because at this time, the soul is mainly in the 'sea of consciousness'.

Once the head is damaged, the soul's control over the body naturally decreases significantly.

At that point, they will only instinctively want to condense their divine body, and will have almost no means of resistance, making it easy for their opponents to easily exhaust their divine power and kill them.

Not only at the Purple Mansion level, but even at the Myriad Phenomena level, gods and demons can easily change their appearance by controlling their bodies, but once their heads are damaged, they will still be like fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

Only gods and demons who reach the primordial spirit level can have their divine soul merge into their divine body. At that time, they can even separate a portion of their flesh and blood to form a clone, and their head will then have no special meaning to their divine body.

However, at the Purple Mansion and Myriad Phenomena levels... the head is still very important.

"That won't do!"

"The Red-Clawed Golden Crow is powerful, fast, and has a tough body. If I try to fight it here, not only will I deplete my divine power, but if it destroys my head, I'm finished."

Zhou Hao understood that with his current abilities, even if he used the Blue Flower Mist to leapfrog a major realm, he would only be able to barely rival a Body Refinement expert at the Perfection of the Myriad Phenomena.

Compared to a true master of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, he was far inferior in both divine power and divine body. If he were to continue to fight the Barefoot Golden Crow... there were also two Myriad Phenomena True Person in the distance, the elegantly dressed youth and the burly man, who were watching him intently.

As for leaving using the Minor Teleportation Dao Talisman, Zhou Hao had considered it. Although the talisman was precious, he still had two in his storage space, so using one wouldn't be a big deal.

However, the elegantly dressed youth and the burly man are members of the Fire Worship Sect, and according to the youth, their presence here indicates they are heading towards Jade Dragon City.

With the strength of these two Myriad Phenomena True Person, plus a spirit beast comparable to Myriad Phenomena Perfected Body Refinement expert, the people of Jade Dragon City were no match for them.

Once Jade Dragon City is destroyed, the fate of the Iron Ox Tribe, as well as familiar figures like Cao Rong, Yang Yun, Er Hu, is something that needs no further thought.

Whew~~~

Howling Gale surrounded Zhou Hao, and under the cover of the Gale Domain, he restrained the Barefoot Golden Crow that was attacking him so fiercely, and blocked every attack it launched.

"Take care of that richly dressed young man and the burly man first!"

"The Barefoot Golden Crow has lost its master, which is equivalent to regaining its freedom. Even if it has a deep affection for its master and wants to avenge him, it can't do anything to me even if I kill the richly dressed youth and then use Minor Teleportation Dao Talisman to leave."

As for the Primordial Spirit Daoist or Earth Immortal Loose Immortal behind that richly dressed youth, once they've investigated who killed him, they'll have already made all the necessary arrangements and fled to the Upper Sect.

If he has the ability, let him come to the Upper Sect to find me.

Zhou Hao refused to believe that a mysterious force revered as Upper Sect by the Three Sects and Two Islands would fear a Primordial Spirit Daoist or a Earth Immortal Loose Immortal.

As for whether there might be a celestial being behind the other party?

Just kidding!

There are no celestial beings in the entire Fire Worship Sect. If this richly dressed youth truly had a celestial being behind him, would he be here?

Zhou Hao's mind raced, and he quickly made up his mind.

At this moment, the Earth Fire within his Purple Mansion space had also been blended and refined into the ' Extinction Divine Light Needle '.

"Whoosh!" The Barefoot Golden Crow swooped down on him again.

"Right now!"

Zhou Hao dodged the incoming wings with a sudden movement, and with the help of the strong wind, he rushed to Yu Zichi and Ren Jiu True Person in the blink of an eye.

"This is bad!" Ren Jiu True Person exclaimed in alarm.

Even he was no match for the Red-Clawed Golden Crow in a fight, and Zhou Hao's ability to force the Red-Clawed Golden Crow to use its innate divine power was far beyond his imagination.

But Yu Zichi was right behind him, so he dared not hide.

"Young master, run! I'll hold him off!"

Ren Jiu True Person swung his giant sword to meet Zhou Hao's slashing Ou Huang Mace.

"If we can hold him off for a while, the Barefoot Golden Crow will arrive..."

The moment this thought arose, Ren Jiu True Person saw a dazzling light appear out of thin air before his eyes.

The light was composed of countless extremely fine light needles, which even condensed into the shape of a sword in the air. Then, in the next instant, those light needles disappeared in front of Ren Jiu True Person and appeared behind him.

Call out!

The light needle pierced through Yu Zichi's head and neck in an instant.

His face was filled with disbelief, countless holes appeared between his eyebrows, his neck was completely severed, and his head was thrown backward.

He still held a Minor Teleportation Dao Talisman in his hand, but he no longer had the chance to activate it.

"Young Master!" Ren Jiu True Person sensed the abnormality behind him, and his eyes widened in horror as he swept his divine sense across the area.

The master's only bloodline is dead... how could he possibly survive?

In that brief moment of distraction, Ren Jiu True Person's giant sword faltered, and Zhou Hao's Ou Huang Mace deflected the giant sword and struck heavily on his head.

Snap!

Brain matter splattered.

Zhou Hao continued his momentum, slashing repeatedly with the Ou Huang Mace in his hand. He even manipulated the power of heaven and earth with his divine sense to form a huge Taiji Grindstone, which wrapped around and crushed Ren Jiu True Person's body.

Boom~~~~

As his divine power was exhausted, Ren Jiu True Person's broken body crashed heavily to the ground.

All of this sounds slow, but it actually happened in an instant.

Yu Zichi and Ren Jiu True Person, two Myriad Phenomena True Person of the Fire Worship Sect sect, died on the spot.

Just then, the Barefoot Golden Crow rushed in from afar.

Seeing that the richly dressed youth was dead, it glanced at Zhou Hao with a complicated expression, and then flew away through the underground cave passage at an even faster speed than before.

"They ran away?" Zhou Hao was taken aback.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Once a spirit beast and a human form a contract, the spirit beast must absolutely obey the master's commands. Otherwise, the master can easily make the spirit beast's soul disappear with a thought.

However, once the master dies, the contract between them is dissolved, and the spirit beast can regain its freedom.

A spirit beast that is willing to risk its life for its master even after the master's death—that truly shows affection.

Clearly, the Barefoot Golden Crow and the richly dressed youth were not related.

At this moment, a golden light suddenly flew out from Yu Zichi's corpse and rushed towards Zhou Hao.

"Huh?" Zhou Hao was startled and instinctively used the Ou Huang Mace to block the incoming golden light.

This richly dressed youth possesses a divine beast at the Myriad Phenomena Realm as his spirit beast, and also has three top-grade Earth-rank magic treasures on his person. Who knows what other tricks he might have up his sleeve?

Snap!

With a crisp sound, a small golden insect struck the Ou Huang Mace and shattered by the force contained within it.

At the same time, Zhou Hao felt a faint yet strange energy fluctuation suddenly seep into his body, but it disappeared in an instant.

"Is it just an ordinary insect?" Zhou Hao was shocked and puzzled, and at the same time felt that something was wrong.

But no matter how he probed with his divine sense or circulated his divine power and Origin Power, he found nothing, as if everything just now was an illusion.

"Hahaha..."

Shang Youde, who had been hiding in the distance and staring blankly after the death of the richly dressed boy, suddenly burst into almost manic laughter.

"You're dead! You're dead!"

"That's the Two Feelings Gu the Divine Camel Daoist planted in the young master's body!"

"You're under a spell now. Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, the Divine Camel Daoist will find you!"

"The Divine Camel Daoist won't let you get away with this! You're dead..."

"It's over, we Shang Clan are finished too..."

Whoosh! A Divine Light Needle pierced through Shang Youde's skull in an instant.

Zhou Hao watched as Shang Youde's face remained utterly deranged until his death, his expression grim.

"The Two Feelings Gu? The Divine Camel Daoist? This is a bit troublesome..."

Guangling City is the most prosperous and oldest city in the entire Guangling Prefecture.

This place is a gathering place for a large number of Loose Immortal and Primordial Spirit Daoist. Almost all the top tribes, sects and cults in Guangling Prefecture have established a presence here!

The Fire Worship Sect also had a presence in Guangling City, which was a luxurious mansion covering an area of ten miles.

Inside a quiet room in the mansion.

A middle-aged man wearing a gray robe and with a hunched back was sitting cross-legged on the jade bed.

Suddenly, a small silver insect flew out of his sleeve and exploded in mid-air with a snap.

The hunchbacked man suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with disbelief and grief.

"Chi'er!!!"
