Chapter 50

In the chaos outside the Three Realms.

Zhou Yu's second primordial spirit avatar flew swiftly through the void, advancing; with True God strength, such reckless rapid travel through chaos is actually very dangerous.

In the chaos, any casually nurtured crisis can easily destroy a True God.

If he advances like this, once he accidentally enters some hidden perilous place, in an instant the outcome will be death and the disappearance of his Dao.

But Zhou Yu chose to trust his luck, and just kept his head down and pressed forward.

"Huh?"

Zhou Yu's heart suddenly stirred; ahead, an abnormal fluctuation seemed to appear.

Without hesitation, he directly rushed over there.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Yu landed on a chaos star.

This chaos star is extremely cold; just the cold aura nurtured on its surface makes Zhou Yu feel his divine body being rapidly eroded.

"The fluctuation is coming from here." Zhou Yu quickly found the source of the fluctuation; only to see specks of ice-blue firelight rapidly condensing, soon forming an ice crystal fruit.

"This is the Blue Flame Fruit?"

Zhou Yu felt surprised in his heart; the reason he recognized this fruit at a glance is because in the record of the divine ability "Unbreakable Body", the Blue Flame Fruit is exactly one of the treasures needed to cultivate the Unbreakable Body.

"This Blue Flame Fruit actually condensed out of thin air in such a freezing environment." Zhou Yu thought, and with a wave of his hand, the newly formed fruit was taken into his hand.

"After a long time, perhaps another Blue Flame Fruit could be nurtured here." Zhou Yu thought.

At this time he also dared not linger longer; this star is simply too cold, his divine body cannot withstand it.

"Whoosh!"

Zhou Yu quickly left that star, he thought for a moment, made a marker here, then promptly left, continuing onward into the depths of chaos.

"I have a bit of the feeling of a child of fortune." Zhou Yu felt emotionally.

He twice chose the Child of Fortune for simulation; in the memories obtained, whenever his simulated self went out wandering, he would often pick up treasures, and now this kind of thing has finally happened to him.

"However, I would rather have that great opportunity that could change my cultivation career." Zhou Yu thought.

Of course, he also understands that the Child of Fortune cannot change reality; he wants to encounter a heaven-defying opportunity, first there must be such an opportunity nearby.

If there is fundamentally no opportunity, no matter how heaven-defying his luck, it would be hard to encounter it.

"Near the Three Realms, many True Gods and Dao Ancestors often come out to search; if there really were something, they would have already found it, so I still need to go farther." Zhou Yu shook his head in his heart.

And at this moment, his heart also stirred slightly.

"Finally, it's about to begin."

In the Red Bright Realm, both sides spent over a year just preparing for war; now they are finally about to go to war.

"。。。" = ellipsis. So translation: "..." (three dots). Keep as "...".

Great Summer World.

Inside Eight Dragon Cloud City.

Red Bright Daozu is arranging troops and formations.

"The divine-demon army is divided into seventy-two Pangu battle formations, each led by the Fu Fang True God, Zhuan Shui True God, and Liu Si True God, together twenty-four True Gods in command."

"The army of Ying Long Daozu is led by the Ying Long Army True God True Immortal."

"The remaining immortal army altogether forms three hundred twenty-six Xing Tian Gods, led by the various generals!"

"Xia Mang, Xue Wu, Chang Qing, you all Pure Yang True Immortals, display your treasures and arts to support all sides!"

"Qian Yu Tian Shen, Leng Mian Tian Shen, Feng Yun Tian Shen, you three together, always pay attention to the Three Yaogu Gods of Swallow Dragon Mountain."

Red Bright Daozu finally looked toward Zhou Yu and the two True Gods beside him.

According to the information provided by Bodhi, in this war's outbreak, the number of True Gods and True Immortals of the Wujian Gate is less than those under his command, but their quality is extremely high.

The most troublesome among them is the "Three Yaogu Gods of Swallow Dragon Mountain".

These three great Yaogu Gods, the eldest "Swallow Mountain Great Sage", the second "Swallow Sea Great Sage", the third "Swallow Heaven Great Sage", each is an extremely powerful existence; especially the third "Swallow Heaven Great Sage", who, like Zhou Yu, has mastered the fourth level of spatial power, his strength can be called the pinnacle of True Gods.

Actually, from their names it can be seen that they call themselves Great Sages, just to show that their strength is not inferior to the Seven Great Sages of the ancient demon clan.

On Red Bright Daozu's side, the True Gods and True Immortals previously had no one who could single-handedly oppose these three Yaogu Gods; Red Bright Daozu's original strategy was to use overwhelming troop numbers to restrain them.

But Zhou Yu came to support, so it's different now.

In Red Bright Daozu's view, Zhou Yu's strength should be on par with Swallow Heaven Great Sage; giving Zhou Yu two True Gods to help, restraining the Three Yaogu Gods of Swallow Dragon Mountain should be no problem.

"Leave it to us."

Zhou Yu, Leng Mian Tian Shen, and Feng Yun Tian Shen the three stood up and promised.

Both sides' huge armies quickly arrived outside the wilderness, facing each other.

Red Bright Daozu and Mo Zhu Daozu each stood on the city wall watching; as battle formations formed one after another, a murderous aura surged into the sky.

At this moment Zhou Yu stood together with Leng Mian Tian Shen and Feng Yun Tian Shen; he said to the two: "You two, don't stray too far from me; if needed, we three can at any time form a formation to meet the enemy."

"Qian Yu Dao friend, rest assured, we two will certainly do our best to cooperate with you." Leng Mian Tian Shen said, and Feng Yun Tian Shen also nodded.

They themselves are aware that, in single combat, any one of the three great monster Gods would utterly crush them; they must have Zhou Yu leading them in order to have a hope of standing against those three monster Gods.

Zhou Yu then said a few more words to the two; soon his gaze fell upon the opposite city wall.

Mo Zhu Daozu, standing there, his whole body naturally burst forth with terrifying black light; he was like a bamboo that had crossed endless ages, giving a feeling of being indestructible.

"This Mo Zhu Daozu hides deep enough." Zhou Yu felt a sigh in his heart.

In terms of strength, Mo Zhu Daozu should have the level of a leader, comparable to an Ancestor God.

But what he displays is only that of an ordinary True God Dao Ancestor level, which is too absurd.

"Of course, Mo Zhu Daozu is also one of the Dao Ancestors enslaved by the Old Man Yuan; perhaps he could reach the leader level, which is somewhat related to Old Man Yuan." Zhou Yu's gaze grew deep.

These secrets are known only to him, and he also feels pressure.

But Zhou Yu also understands that at this moment his strength is still far insufficient; it's best to pretend he knows nothing.

"This war, either we die, or the Hell Gate Sect perishes!" The voice of Red Bright Daozu, filled with killing intent, rang in everyone's heart.

With his strength, even at this moment this emotion easily infected numerous immortals, deities and demons, causing a strong killing intent to surge in everyone's heart.

Of course, the influence on Zhou Yu, whose strength is that strong, is limited.

"Charge!"

"Kill them all!"

At the Red Bright Daozu's command, the army instantly began its charge.

"Heaven's Law, Earth's Image!"

Zhou Yu at this moment activated his divine technique, transforming into a towering deity‑demon, and surged forward with the army.

Meanwhile, over at the Wujian Gate, a killing force likewise erupted instantly.

The two armies clashed, contesting strength and momentum; in this first battle, naturally no one would back down.

On the Red Bright Realm side are the Xing Tian deity, the Pangu battle formation, the Ying Long formation, and many True Immortals; on the Wujian Gate side are the White‑faced Jiao, Zhu Yan, Bi Fang and other great formations, plus numerous heavenly deity puppets.

The puppets are Wujian Gate's trump card; with its forces clearly inferior to Nüwa's camp, Wujian Gate can only rely on the puppets to contend with Nüwa's camp.

At this moment, the two great torrents crashed into each other with a thunderous impact.

"So this is the Qian Yu Tian Shen who killed Bloodhand? Bi Feng, come with me to meet him!"

At this moment, a Zhu Yan great formation led by True Immortals and another White‑faced Jiao great formation set their sights on Zhou Yu, who had transformed into a towering giant.

If it were a one‑on‑one duel, the two of them would naturally keep as far apart as possible.

But now, each commanding nearly two thousand heavenly immortals plus a host of wandering immortals, how could they not engage in battle with him?

Boom! Boom!

Two towering attacks thundered toward Zhou Yu.

"Well timed."

Zhou Yu now wielded a massive sword, an innate supreme‑grade divine weapon that he had obtained from the World Prison.

The great sword swept horizontally, causing space to tremble; the fourth‑level spatial power erupted with terrifying force, instantly forcing the White‑faced Jiao and Zhu Yan to retreat, yet the True Immortals controlling the formations were no ordinary foes—they strained to shed their power and struck again.

That single clash only bolstered their confidence.

"Since you are courting death."

Killing intent surged in Zhou Yu's heart, and in an instant he erupted again.

Previously, he only employed the fourth‑level spatial power; this time, while drawing on spatial power, he also unleashed the divine technique 'Ninefold Destruction Divine Power' and fourth‑level heart force.

Zhou Yu's true self had naturally cultivated the Ninefold Destruction Divine Power, for a Tian Shen's cultivation requires only a thousand void‑chaos crystals; moreover, his relationship with his True God Avatar is nominally master‑disciple, so cultivating this divine technique was natural.

At this level, the divine technique, in the True God stage, can let an ordinary True Immortal match a top‑tier True Immortal, and in the Tian Shen stage it is even more exaggerated—the power it releases is roughly one tier above the fourth‑level primordial force.

Of course, while the power is strong, its technique and endurance are far inferior.

And the method of imbuing heart force onto a weapon, Zhou Yu's heart‑force inheritance does contain the fourth‑level heart force; not only is its application limitless, its augmenting power is slightly stronger than the fourth‑level primordial force.

About thirty percent stronger than the fourth‑level spatial power.

However, heart‑force‑imbued attacks are a very common usage and consume a great deal of heart force; Zhou Yu could not use them many times in total.

But at this moment, Zhou Yu cared not for a prolonged fight, only for an eruption.

He suppressed both great formations using only the fourth‑level spatial power, let alone unleashing his divine technique and stacking heart force.

This sword already wielded power nearly reaching the Dao Ancestor threshold.

Boom!

The terrifying sword easily swung aside Zhu Yan's claw and surged straight toward the White‑faced Jiao.

The White‑faced Jiao tried to block, but felt an irresistible pulling force within the sword that deflected its technique.

In terms of skill, these two True Immortals were naturally inferior to Zhou Yu; previously, with the aid of formations, the gap in power with Zhou Yu was not large, and together they could still spar with him, but now Zhou Yu unleashed a terrifying move whose power completely surpassed the two great formations, making it hard for them to resist his technique.

Pfft!

With a single stroke, the sword pierced straight into the White‑faced Jiao's body.

Zhou Yu suddenly flicked, and the great sword instantly tore the White‑faced Jiao formation in two, killing over two hundred heavenly immortals in an instant, and most importantly, the True Immortal controlling the White‑faced Jiao perished.

"Run!"

"Run!"

The remaining over a thousand heavenly immortals and countless wandering immortals frantically used teleportation techniques to flee.

"Where are you going?"

Zhou Yu's divine sword swept once more, instantly killing another hundred heavenly immortals.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Zhou Yu instantly unleashed over a dozen sword strikes, slaughtering a large number of heavenly and wandering immortals.

Some stragglers also found it nearly impossible to survive on the chaotic battlefield.

The battlefield is like this: once a great formation is broken, unless one possesses strength like Zhou Yu's, individual power is too insignificant.

"Hm?"

At this moment, both the Red Bright Daozu and the Ink Bamboo Dao Ancestor looked over in unison.

"The Cang True God truly didn't deceive me; his disciple really is a valiant general, yet I still don't know whose reincarnation the Qian Yu Tian Shen is," the Red Bright Daozu felt delighted yet puzzled.

A Tian Shen so powerful cannot be without a reputation.

The Ink Bamboo Dao Ancestor frowned; his side's forces were already few, and losing a White‑faced Jiao formation at the outset immediately put him at a disadvantage.

"Devour Heaven Demon, you quickly go deal with that Qian Yu Tian Shen!" the Ink Bamboo Dao Ancestor transmitted his voice.

Upon hearing this, the enormous Nine‑headed Lion present on the field instantly turned toward Zhou Yu's direction.

"Qian Yu Tian Shen? Interesting!"

The Devour Heaven Great Sage, whose nine heads each wore a different expression, shifted his form and, with a swift swoosh, used a teleportation divine technique to fly toward Zhou Yu.

Acting as an individual on the battlefield, the greatest advantage is the ability to employ teleportation, providing support wherever needed.

If you form a formation, then unless you can perfectly control its power, you cannot use an Escape Technique.

"Master is really strong."

Ji Ning, at this moment, controlling a Xing Tian, also collides with the grand formation commanded by the Pure Yang True Immortal of Wu Jian Gate.

He is very relaxed; he has comprehended the Heart Power Divine Soul Method and secretly surpassed the Pure Yang True Immortal. At this time, commanding the grand formation, he has not exerted his full strength, merely waiting for a chance to erupt.

Therefore, Ji Ning has idle time to observe his surroundings.

Seeing Zhou Yu break a grand formation with two sword strikes, Ji Ning also silently admires him; although he has also become a Pure Yang True Immortal, he now understands that the gap between him and his master at this level of heavenly deity is still vast.

He will probably have to wait until he becomes a heavenly deity and learns the fifth transformation, "Star-Plucking Hand", to slightly bridge the gap.

"Oh? Then the Swallow Heaven Demon Saint has arrived," Ji Ning watches.

Only to see that nine‑headed lion ferociously pounce forward, while Zhou Yu, wielding the Heaven‑Earth Technique, raises his sword to meet it.

The two clash together, instantly shaking heaven and earth.

"Qian Yu Tian Shen, you really have some skill. Who exactly are you?" the Swallow Heaven Great Saint stares at Zhou Yu.

"Do you even deserve to know my identity?"

Zhou Yu sneers; among his sword techniques, suddenly a blade again unleashes divine power, erupting a Divine Skill and fortified by Heart Power.

The power of this sword suddenly surges, catching the Swallow Heaven Great Saint completely off guard.

He hurriedly changes his move to block, but still gets pulled away by Zhou Yu's strike; however, having cultivated a special Divine Skill, his skin is tough and flesh thick, and he endures the blow.

Zhou Yu also knows that killing this Swallow Heaven Great Saint is difficult, so he does not hesitate and directly employs the Escape Technique, striking toward the Zhu Yan Grand Formation of Wu Jian Gate.

Boom!

Zhou Yu's sword rages down from the sky, still delivering the maximum power output.

The Zhu Yan Grand Formation scrambles to block, but cannot at all; it is sliced open from top to bottom by Zhou Yu's sword.

On the Wu Jian Gate city wall, Mo Zhu Dao Ancestor watches, his complexion darkening.

The Swallow Heaven Great Saint even calls himself "Great Saint"?

He couldn't even manage to entangle Qian Yu Tian Shen; truly worthless.

"Withdraw the troops!"

With Mo Zhu Dao Ancestor's single order, he knows the army's morale has already faltered today; continuing the fight would inevitably lead to defeat.

"Ha ha, they're fleeing!"

"Pursue!"

"Kill!"

After a round of pursuit and slaughter, the army finally returns to camp with satisfaction.

With the initial battle won, the Red Bright Daozu side naturally cheers and celebrates, and Zhou Yu, as the greatest contributor, is praised by numerous immortals, deities, and demons.

Previously many only heard that Zhou Yu was extremely powerful; in this battle they finally witnessed it.

One person changes the tide of battle—how defiant of fate!

As for the Wu Jian Gate camp on the other side, the Swallow Heaven Great Saint's gaze, facing the gathered immortals and demons, turns a bit red with shame.

"That Qian Yu Tian Shen, for some reason, suddenly unleashed a sword with power far beyond before, perhaps multiplied several times; I was caught off guard and got pulled away," the Swallow Heaven Demon Saint says:

"When we fight again, the three of us will form the 'Three-Eyed Demon God Formation', and we will no longer fear him!"

Hearing this, Mo Zhu Dao Ancestor nods.

"Qian Yu Tian Shen's master has the Cang True God wielding a terrifying Divine Skill, which should have been passed to him," Mo Zhu Dao Ancestor says:

"But relying solely on this Divine Skill shouldn't allow him to erupt such power; when you face him again, also watch closely what method he employs."

Heart Power is a very concealed force, especially since Zhou Yu inherited the Heart Power and uses it with extreme mastery; when he employs it, not a trace of power is revealed, so even Mo Zhu Dao Ancestor could not discern Zhou Yu's strength for a moment.

"Yes!" the Swallow Heaven Great Saint nods.

He also silently vows to reclaim the field.
