Chapter 78: Zhou Yu's Demand

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The Great Dream Heavenly God certainly lived up to his reputation of reaching Thousand Star Island on his own; he truly had a couple of tricks.

Faced with Zhou Yu's sudden attack, he reacted instantly, his two blades erupting in succession, blocking several of Zhou Yu's moves.

However, Zhou Yu, after a hundred years of slaughter in the Demon Ice Valley, perfectly combined the 'shuttling through spacetime' characteristic of the Spacetime Dao with his swordsmanship, making his sword technique extraordinarily uncanny.

With a single sword burst, his attack could appear anywhere at any moment.

Although the Great Dream Heavenly God's blade was also fast, after three or five exchanges, Zhou Yu's sword became completely unstoppable for him.

Pfft.

Zhou Yu's sword pierced into the Great Dream Heavenly God's divine body, and terrifying might instantly drained a large portion of his divine form.

The Great Dream Heavenly God's face turned pale; frightened, he turned and fled.

At this moment, the other Heavenly Gods also reacted.

"Form the formation!"

"Protect the Great Dream Heavenly God!"

Each Heavenly God shouted loudly.

"My grudge with the Great Dream Heavenly God is personal; it has nothing to do with you!"

"Those who block me die!" Zhou Yu shouted.

But at this moment, the many Heavenly Gods had no intention of retreating; they were all Heavenly Gods of the Unintermitting Sect, always united beside the Great Dream Heavenly God—how could they possibly yield now?

The key point is, Zhou Yu is alone, while they are a group.

As long as they form a formation, even a mightier Heavenly God would not frighten them.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Instantly, three Seven Luminaries Heavenly God Formations and one Three-Eyed Demon God Formation took shape, simultaneously charging at Zhou Yu.

"Courting death."

Zhou Yu's eyes turned icy; the two other avatars he had brought into the Moon Under Pool instantly appeared, and the three avatars directly formed a formation.

However, it was not formed by condensing divine power into a Heavenly God Formation, but by using the vast mana of a Second Grade True Immortal to set up the formation.

In fact, relying on the mana of a Second Grade True Immortal, a single avatar of Zhou Yu would be enough to slaughter all these Heavenly Gods; at this moment the three avatars coalescing into a grand formation is merely him wanting to be extra cautious.

"What is this?"

Indeed, at this moment each Heavenly God felt the terrifying might emanating from Zhou Yu's coalesced formation, and every one of them felt their hearts tremble.

This might has already fully reached the level of a True God Dao Ancestor.

"Die!"

Zhou Yu's sword burst forth, instantly piercing one Seven Luminaries Heavenly God Formation, and the seven Heavenly Gods within were directly annihilated.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Zhou Yu struck with several consecutive swords, and all the Heavenly Gods of the Unintermitting Sect were left dead, body and spirit destroyed.

At this moment, the Great Dream Heavenly God who had fled far away turned completely pale; seeing Zhou Yu's killing approach, he knew he was surely doomed.

"Let me die with understanding—I don't even know you, nor have I offended you." the Great Dream Heavenly God roared.

"After you die, go ask your master."

Zhou Yu couldn't be bothered to explain; a sword condensed from vast mana swept forward.

The Great Dream Heavenly God was already severely wounded, and now he could not possibly block it.

"Master, you've caused me such suffering." the Great Dream Heavenly God thought; the next instant, terrifying power enveloped him, directly annihilating him into nothingness.

Shortly afterward, Zhou Yu calmly dissolved the formation coalesced by his three avatars, silently absorbing the primal energy of the slain Heavenly Gods.

It must be said, the Heavenly Gods within the Moon Under Pool are of exceptionally high quality; the primal energy provided by these twenty-plus Heavenly Gods could match that of nearly a hundred ordinary Heavenly Gods.

"However, I need even more primal energy now." Zhou Yu reflected.

Of course, after accumulating across multiple worlds, he is not far from the next simulation.

After slaughtering the Great Dream Heavenly God and the other Unintermitting Sect Heavenly Gods, Zhou Yu searched Thousand Star Island again and soon found another wave of Heavenly Gods led by the Sinful Celestial and the Seal-Throat Heavenly God.

These powerhouses were all Heavenly Gods of the Nüwa Camp, more numerous, totaling over a hundred.

When gathering with these Heavenly Gods, Zhou Yu also released the Heavenly Gods he had brought from previous stages; this batch also numbered nearly a hundred.

Two hundred Heavenly Gods met; most were acquaintances, some with deep bonds, so naturally it was very lively.

However, it wasn't long before someone noticed something off: among the many Heavenly Gods Zhou Yu brought, there were only Nüwa Camp Heavenly Gods, with not a single Unintermitting Sect Heavenly God.

Although on Thousand Star Island the two camps' powerhouses are opposed, on the previous islands they got along extremely well; after all, in the Moon Under Pool they had to face various dangers from the pool itself, so naturally their hope of surviving by uniting was greater.

The Heavenly Gods on Thousand Star Island all came from the previous islands, so they naturally knew this.

"It's because I deliberately didn't bring them."

Zhou Yu then said: "You all don't know yet, but at this moment the Three Realms have erupted in a Great Tribulation; only one of the Unintermitting Camp and our Nüwa Camp can survive in the Three Realms."

Zhou Yu gave a simple explanation, yet it caused the Heavenly Gods of Thousand Star Island to change expression.

"Great Tribulation? How could there be a Great Tribulation? Are my senior sister and master still alright?" someone exclaimed in disbelief.

"I said the Unintermitting Sect's wolf cubs are untrustworthy, and indeed they're ungrateful." someone cursed angrily.

"It's a pity we're trapped here and can't leave; otherwise we would certainly contribute our share to the Great Tribulation."

"."

People reacted variously, but quite a few resented themselves for being unable to leave.

"Fellow brothers, wanting to leave is not without a way." Fei You Tian Shen, whom Zhou Yu had brought from the earlier island, spoke:

"Dao Friend Qian Yu has been in the Moon Under Pool for less than a hundred years since entering; he definitely has the potential to leave, and I followed him here because I trust him."

Fei You Tian Shen is also an exceptionally powerful Heavenly God; he not only wields fourth-level power, but also perfectly combines the forces of Taiji and Wuji.

As long as there is enough time, Fei You Tian Shen could actually break through the Demon Ice Valley on his own, but because of the Three Realms Great Tribulation and his trust in Zhou Yu's strength, he only then followed Zhou Yu and left together.

Upon hearing Fei You Tian Shen say that, the other gods' hearts were all shaken.

"Qian Yu Tian Shen, are you confident you can leave?" Many people were looking at Zhou Yu.

"I haven't even passed the final level yet, so it's hard to say right now." Zhou Yu said: "Besides, even if I can bring you all out, you must agree to one request of mine."

"As long as you can take us out, don't mention just one request—even a hundred or a thousand would be fine!" A god spoke up, and immediately asked:

"What request, Qian Yu Tian Shen? Go ahead and say it."

"Once I leave, I will definitely have to fight the Hell Gate Sect on the battlefield. At that time, aside from the Sinful God, the Throat-Sealing God, and Fei You Tian Shen—these extremely strong individuals—I hope the rest of you will stay by my side and fight the Hell Gate Sect together with me." Zhou Yu said in a deep voice.

Hearing that, everyone also understood Zhou Yu's meaning.

"Fine, since it's a fight against the Hell Gate Sect, where isn't it a fight? I agree." Soon a god agreed.

"I agree too."

"As long as we can leave, I will go pay respects to my master, and from now on I will follow Qian Yu Tian Shen."

Many gods spoke up one after another.

The Moon Under Pool is extremely difficult; being able to leave from here absolutely makes one among the strongest batch of gods in the Three Realms.

Following Zhou Yu, one would not lose face.

"Since you all trust me, I will certainly not disappoint you." Zhou Yu laughed at this moment.

Actually, his confidence in breaking through the Moon Under Pool is still quite high.

His greatest strength is spatio-temporal power, but he has never displayed this power before other gods; the Hell Gate Sect gods who saw him use spatio-temporal power have all died.

Relying solely on the combination of temporal and spatial power, it is unknown whether Zhou Yu can break through the Moon Under Pool in a short time, but with the two fused, the greatly enhanced spatio-temporal power makes that hope much greater.
