Chapter 84: Again Erupts: Assassination and Counterattack

Three Realms, Chasing Sun Realm.

Another massive realm war is about to break out.

"This realm war, I have participated in one after another, and without exposing more strength it's also hard to carry out large-scale slaughter again." Zhou Yu's true self sat on the city wall of Nüwa's camp, he looked down at the land.

The Myriad Envoy sent by Wujian Sect, together with several Purple Light puppets, kept staring at him; even if Wujian Sect suffered defeat, these puppets still desperately entangled him, causing him only to be able to pick up a few heads.

Zhou Yu had picked up heads for three hundred years, feeling that the next simulation was still far off.

He understood that the primal energy required for the simulation had now reached an absurd level; continuing to slaughter these weak beings, the effect began to diminish.

"Then let it erupt again; with my current strength, there are fewer things I need to worry about." Zhou Yu thought.

Not long after, the armies of both sides began to gather.

The ruler of the Chasing Sun Realm, Kuafu True God, gazed solemnly toward the distant Wujian City; there, a figure in a cyan robe stood with hands behind his back.

Tongxuan Dao Ancestor, in the Wujian camp is an existence just below the leadership tier.

He is not only strong in strength, but also formidable in calculation; having fought him, Kuafu has already suffered several losses.

This realm battlefield has been fought for several years, erupting in several major battles; the longer it goes, the lower Kuafu feels his chances of victory are.

But he does not want to give up until the very last moment.

"Kill!"

At Kuafu's command, the army launched another charge.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Since it wasn't their first clash, the two armies quickly entered fierce combat.

Under the coordination of Kuafu and Tongxuan Dao Ancestor, battle formations cooperated exquisitely in slaughter.

Yet as time passed, although Kuafu's command had no major mistakes, the army gradually fell into a disadvantage; the Wujian army was like a net, slowly trapping and devouring the Nüwa camp's army.

"If there are no surprises, this war is already my victory." Tongxuan Dao Ancestor commanded the troops below with composure.

"Kuafu, retreat now; retreating now can still reduce losses."

In the Myriad Ancestors Hall, many Dao Ancestors also couldn't help but speak up.

"Alas, I hate that I cannot personally go onto the battlefield to fight!"

Kuafu's divine power incarnation showed an unwilling expression; his own strength was already formidable, nearing that of a leader, not to mention he is a True God, naturally adept at war.

But he is not skilled at managing power; losing this realm war leaves him truly unwilling.

"Temporary wins and losses mean nothing; in this centuries-long war, we have lost less and won more, and in the end victory will be ours." Another Dao Ancestor spoke.

Kuafu nodded upon hearing this; from the overall situation of the vital energy fortune struggle, they hold the advantage.

"Kuafu, don't rush, pay attention to Qian Yu's side." At that moment, Zhou Yu's True God avatar suddenly spoke.

"Qian Yu Heavenly God?" Kuafu startled.

At this moment on the battlefield, Kuafu looked toward a certain small battlefield.

There, ordinary formations dare not approach, for it is a battlefield of the utmost top-tier power.

One "Immortal Slaughter Demon Formation", one "Myriad Envoy", plus a few Purple Light puppets relying on their indestructible puppet bodies dare to intervene.

"Could Qian Yu Heavenly God still have some hidden trump cards?" Kuafu frowned, thinking.

To command a great formation with a True God's body and reach the level of a top-tier True God Dao Ancestor is already extremely terrifying; even some ordinary Dao Ancestors may not possess this ability.

However, even if Zhou Yu's strength is great, he revealed his power too early; after successive major battles, Wujian Sect already has a detailed understanding of his strength, and dispatching forces to restrain him is not difficult.

Of course, this is not to say Zhou Yu is useless; after all, he has tied down a large portion of Wujian Sect's forces, and without that portion, Wujian Sect might encounter problems elsewhere.

Over the past several hundred years, the reason Wujian camp has lost more than won is partly due to Zhou Yu.

"However, since Cang said so, there must be some truth to it." Kuafu thought, and secretly began to move troops toward Zhou Yu's direction; should anything change, he would naturally respond in time.

"Huh? What is Kuafu doing?"

Tongxuan Dao Ancestor keenly sensed the change and quickly traced its source.

"Is it that 'Immortal Slaughter Demon Formation'?" Tongxuan Dao Ancestor frowned slightly.

But before he could think further, the next moment, an accident suddenly occurred.

Only see the towering giant formed by the "Immortal Slaughter Demon Formation" wielding twin swords suddenly enveloped by an incomparably brilliant silver light.

"That is."

Kuafu and Tongxuan Dao Ancestor both froze.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two swords swept horizontally, while blocking the Myriad Envoy's attack, the surrounding Purple Light puppets were directly blown away.

"Snow Wolf Heavenly God, be careful!!"

Tongxuan Dao Ancestor instantly sent a voice transmission to warn the controller of the Myriad Envoy.

"Spatial power? Fifth level?"

Snow Wolf Heavenly God also shuddered at this moment; he too is a top-tier True God of the Wujian camp, naturally able to recognize such power.

But before he could think much, another sword already came crashing.

"Cannot dodge!"

Snow Wolf Heavenly God only felt this sword arrive before his eyes in a blink, and the space around him instantly solidified, making it impossible for him to dodge.

Snow Wolf Heavenly God strained to block, but what he felt was a surging force.

Boom!

The Myriad Envoy was blown back repeatedly.

Previously, Zhou Yu merely commanded the "Immortal Slaughter Demon Formation", and the power he erupted was at the level of a top-tier True God Dao Ancestor; back then, purely in terms of strength, Zhou Yu was actually stronger, so even a single Myriad Envoy could not necessarily hold him steady, relying only on Purple Light puppets for assistance.

Now, Zhou Yu also erupted with fifth-level spatial power, which is likewise the power of a top-tier True God Dao Ancestor.

These two powers stacked together naturally completely suppressed the Myriad Things Envoy.

When Zhou Yu erupted at that moment, there was no pause at all; the Envoy of All Things retreated, and he strode forward, unleashing sword after sword in a frenzy.

"Blood Wave Heavenly God, hold for three breaths." Tong Xuan Dao Ancestor instantly transmitted the command, and at the same time scrambled troops to help.

But Kua Fu had prepared a step earlier; when Kua Fu saw Zhou Yu erupt, how could he possibly stand by idly?

He immediately dispatched troops, sparing no cost to intercept the support forces; even the few violet‑light puppets that were first blasted away by Zhou Yu could not return within a few breaths under the frantic blockade.

And the pressure the Blood Wave Heavenly God endured was greater than Tong Xuan Dao Ancestor had imagined.

If it were merely a matter of raw power suppression, that would be all; the crucial point is that, in sword technique, Zhou Yu's sword became extraordinarily bizarre.

It not only involved the mysteries of the fifth‑level spatial realm, but also a hint of temporal shift; the combat method that the Blood Wave Heavenly God boasted of was completely crushed at this moment.

This was only natural; Zhou Yu's skill in combining time and space at this moment was on par with a leader's level, and even if he only displayed a small fraction, the Blood Wave Heavenly God could not block it.

Suddenly—

Boom!

The massive Envoy of All Things was overturned, and the prepared Zhou Yu immediately wielded the Primordial Spirit Treasure Rope, swiftly binding it.

He then drew the Cave Heaven Treasure and, with a whoosh, sucked the Envoy of All Things inside.

"Envoy of All Things!!"

"Indeed..."

Many Dao Ancestors of the Wujian Gate who were watching the battle felt shocked and angry; they had seen this scene once before on the battlefield of the Red Bright Realm.

But the one captured by Zhou Yu that time was only a common Dao Ancestor puppet, barely reaching the Dao Ancestor threshold in strength.

This time, however, it was the Envoy of All Things!

One Envoy of All Things represents a combat power nearly that of a leader!

"Tong Xuan, if you act now, are you confident you can snatch the Envoy of All Things back?" a Wujian Gate Dao Ancestor couldn't help asking.

But Tong Xuan Dao Ancestor remained silent.

Of course he also wanted to retrieve the Envoy of All Things, yet he already felt Kua Fu's battle‑filled gaze upon him.

Even Tong Xuan Dao Ancestor, however confident, was not sure he could swiftly defeat Kua Fu.

Moreover, he now had to find a way to pull back the Wujian Gate army.

At this moment, Zhou Yu had already commanded the "Immortal God Demon‑Slaughter Formation" to surge into the Wujian Gate army.

It was like a tiger entering a wolf pack; a frenzied slaughter erupted instantly.

"Kill, follow Qian Yu Tian Shen, wipe them out!" Kua Fu roared.

The Nüwa Camp army boiled with fury, charging wildly.

After the massive slaughter, roughly thirty percent of the Wujian Gate forces withdrew to Wujian City.

It was still Tong Xuan Dao Ancestor's last strenuous rescue, sending one puppet after another to buy time, and voluntarily abandoning part of his power, cutting off his tail to survive.

"Fifth‑level spatial power? Even a Heavenly God can wield such strength?"

"Captured a living Envoy of All Things?"

"Qian Yu Tian Shen, how exactly did he manage that?"

"."

Inside the Hall of Ten Thousand Clans, the great beings of the Nüwa Camp were completely shaken.

If one says that mastery of array leadership might have other reasons, wielding fifth‑level spatial power is truly the realm of Enlightened Dao.

On the other side—

The Wujian Camp's many great beings could no longer sit still; they hurried to the Ten Thousand Demon Realm.

"Lord of Demons, a Heavenly God who can command top‑level Dao Ancestor arrays and also master fifth‑level spatial power, this contest of destiny cannot go on."

"Indeed, it's not on the same level at all."

"Given how high Qian Yu Tian Shen's realm is, I suspect he could have broken through long ago, but chose not to."

"It's possible he has already broken through, merely hiding it."

The Wujian Camp Dao Ancestors were all saying that those Zhou Yu killed were their own disciples; could they not feel heartache?

"If Qian Yu Tian Shen has comprehended the Celestial Dao, he cannot hide it from us," the Black Robe God King said gravely.

"Unless he is a reincarnation of a Dao Ancestor."

"A Dao Ancestor reincarnation? Possible, but who could it be?" Tong Xuan Dao Ancestor, having just suffered a crushing defeat, shook his head.

"True God Dao Ancestors differ from Heavenly God True Immortals; the Nüwa Camp has only a hundred or two hundred members since antiquity, with even fewer missing, so none fit the criteria."

The two great camps have interacted over tens of trillions of years within the Three Realms, so they are well aware of the True God Dao Ancestors born in the Nüwa Camp during antiquity.

Of course, much of their intelligence has also been known to the Nüwa Camp; in short, such a non‑secret cannot be concealed.

"Regardless of who he is, this contest of destiny must not continue this way."

"Moreover, he abducted an Envoy of All Things; if that Envoy appears on the battlefield again, the contest of destiny will be utterly lost."

"."

At this moment, numerous True God Dao Ancestors were watching the blue‑haired figure seated at the forefront.

The Wind Demon remained silent for a long while before saying, "Just now, the Lord of Heart Demons approached me and offered a suggestion."

Upon hearing this, many of the Wujian Gate felt a slight tremor in their hearts.

The Lord of Heart Demons, though his body merged with the Celestial Dao, has always aided them; now, at this critical moment, he again offers a suggestion that is sure to resolve the impasse.

Sun‑Chasing Realm.

Kua Fu was hosting a banquet inside the camp, entertaining numerous Immortals and Gods; it was a rapturous great victory, and everyone's heart brimmed with joy.

"Qian Yu, come, drink this cup of wine."

"I was about to concede and retreat, but thanks to your intervention."

Kuafu looked at Zhou Yu sitting not far away, full of sighs, and lifted a bowl of wine.

Given Zhou Yu's current status in Nüwa's camp, he stands on equal footing with many True Gods and Dao Ancestors, especially since today he displayed fifth-layer spatial power, no one regards him as a True God True Immortal anymore.

"It's also thanks to many fellow Daoists' all-out assistance that I could capture that Envoy of Myriad Things." Zhou Yu smiled faintly.

"Qian Yu Tian Shen, you're too kind; we merely did our best." The True Gods and True Immortals below hurriedly spoke.

At the banquet, soon a True God said: "Qian Yu Tian Shen, by capturing the Envoy of Myriad Things this time, you will surely become an even greater thorn in the flesh and a splinter in the eye of the Seamless Gate; Qian Yu Tian Shen, you must be extremely careful, for though they cannot match you on the battlefield, their covert means are unpredictable."

"I know." Zhou Yu nodded.

Over the past three hundred years, the Seamless Gate, in dealing with him, has indeed not only acted on the battlefield but also made many moves off it.

For example, once when Zhou Yu went to the Heavenly Lotus Realm to fight, the Seamless Gate somehow found a female immortal who looked almost exactly like his former wife, even her aura bore some similarity.

Under the Seamless Gate's deliberate arrangement, Zhou Yu also noticed that female immortal; given his cultivation, he could naturally tell she was not disguising herself but was born with such appearance and aura, and he was indeed quite surprised at the time.

However, Zhou Yu deeply understood the Seamless Gate's tactics and did not let his guard down too much.

Later investigation indeed revealed that the female immortal, while in contact with Zhou Yu, carried a highly concealed deadly poison; a little contact caused no harm, but much contact could kill a True God True Immortal.

Such incidents are not few, after all Zhou Yu has killed too many, and those who want him dead are terrifyingly many.

This is quite normal; where there is killing, one must bear the consequences.

However, Zhou Yu had long been mentally prepared; he does not overly care about this, as long as his strength is sufficient, he can naturally fear no ordinary karma.

Moreover, Zhou Yu never kills indiscriminately; he only kills those who deserve death.

The killing in war is exactly what he deems appropriate killing.

"However, this time the Seamless Gate seeking revenge might dispatch True Gods and Dao Ancestors to assassinate me?" Zhou Yu thought.

The Seamless Gate is even more frenzied than the Nüwa camp imagines; the likelihood of them coming directly to assassinate him remains high.

Zhou Yu had long anticipated this, yet he still chose to erupt—that is, to fear no assassination by the Seamless Gate.

He even hopes the Seamless Gate will come.

"If they dare come, they must prepare to be left behind by me." Zhou Yu thought.

Because the opposing Seamless City had not left for a long time, the banquet did not last long either; after a bout of revelry, everyone returned to their camps, and although the Seamless Gate is unlikely to make a comeback, preparations must still be made.

That night, Zhou Yu sat alone cross-legged in the camp.

Suddenly, a hidden divine sword stabbed from the darkness, initially soundless, but at the moment of eruption it displayed terrifying radiance.

Zhou Yu suddenly pointed a finger.

A finger imbued with fifth-layer spatial power instantly collided with that divine sword.

Boom—

The terrifying aftermath burst forth in the camp instantly, turning the surroundings into nothingness in an instant.

"How bold!" Kuafu in the nearby camp naturally felt the disturbance first, he was shocked and furious, and erupted with divine power.

"Kuafu, it's not good to strike in broad daylight; let me test your methods." A Dao Ancestor in green robes suddenly appeared.

"Get lost!" Kuafu roared angrily, he waved his hand and a palm instantly became seemingly infinite, seeking to seize the Grand Void Dao Ancestor.

The Grand Void Dao Ancestor instantly unleashed hundreds of terrifying arts—some defensive, some binding—halting Kuafu's steps.

At that moment, in the camp where Zhou Yu was, he saw a black-clad figure appear in the distance and could not help but laugh.

"Dark Light Sword Master, you too come to kill me? Do you have that capability?"

"Arrogant." The Dark Light Sword Master frowned slightly, his remotely controlled divine sword instantly flashed with seven-colored light and fiercely slashed at Zhou Yu.

Although Zhou Yu wields fifth-layer spatial power, he is ultimately still a True God.

With the strength of his fifth-layer sword power, even a slight graze on a True God's divine body would kill him, even if he were at the ninth level of the Eighty Nine Mystic Technique.

And when the Dark Light Sword Master moved again, a whip like a poisonous snake suddenly erupted from the shadow behind Zhou Yu.

A front-and-rear pincer attack, and it was soundless.

If it were an ordinary True God Dao Ancestor, they could very well be instantly struck down and slain, but Zhou Yu had prepared; with a thought, a massive ape-shaped puppet instantly appeared there.

In an instant, Zhou Yu entered it.

"Envoy of Myriad Things?"

At this moment, the Dao Ancestors of the Seamless Gate were eyes bloodshot; how short a time, and the Envoy of Myriad Things is already controlled by this Qian Yu Tian Shen?

They do not know that Zhou Yu, with the mana of a second-grade Ancestral Immortal, seizing control of the puppet core from the Blood Wave True God is truly simple.

"Dark Light Sword Master, Invisible Dao Ancestor, indeed it's you two." Zhou Yu's voice, tinged with a smile, came from the Envoy of Myriad Things.

Moreover, it's not surprising; these two are the Seamless Gate's Dao Ancestors most skilled at assassination, and to kill him they are naturally the best choice.

"Capture him."

At this moment, the Dark Light Sword Master and the Invisible Dao Ancestor both unwilling to waste time, struck again.

Yet Zhou Yu controlling the Envoy of Myriad Things is far superior to the Blood Wave True God's control; even a top-tier True God Dao Ancestor-level Dark Light Sword Master and a near-leader Invisible Dao Ancestor joining forces cannot overcome Zhou Yu.

And at this moment—

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Terrifying auras and angry shouts appeared one after another in this vast world.

Kuafu, who was entangled with the Grand Void Dao Ancestor, showed a hint of joy on his face; the other great powers of their camp rushed over.

But Kuafu's joy quickly faded considerably, and these arriving great powers swiftly encountered obstructors.

The Seamless Gate, for this assassination, naturally made full preparations.

"They are dead set on killing Qian Yu Tian Shen."

Kuafu looked toward the not‑distant battlefield; he secretly sighed in relief, fortunately the Envoy of Myriad Things had been refined so quickly.

Given the Envoy of Myriad Things' indestructible nature, as long as it is not captured, Zhou Yu can completely hold out for a period.

However, just as Kuafu thought that, suddenly his expression changed.

Only see, in the space not far from the Envoy of Myriad Things, a petite figure had appeared at some point.

That figure struck out with a palm, and instantly the heavens and earth seemed to contain nothing but that one sparkling, crystal‑clear hand; compared to it, everyone else's techniques were utterly ordinary.

Terms: shadow/figure – generic, not a name; one palm – generic; heaven and earth – generic; sparkling crystal hand – generic; technique/move – generic; no specific names.

Only Zhou Yu himself was not particularly surprised.

Term: Zhou Yu – a personal name; also himself – generic.

He commanded an ape‑shaped Myriad Things Envoy, which advanced while wielding a Divine Sword.

Terms: ape-shaped Myriad Things Envoy – title; Divine Sword – item/artifact.

His palm technique was peerlessly exquisite, and the Divine Sword manipulated time and space, which complemented each other with equal brilliance.

Terms: palm technique – generic; Divine Sword – generic item; time and space – generic concepts; not names.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Sound effect, no names.

In a single instant, they exchanged over ten moves with palm and sword, yet neither gained the upper hand.

No names.

"What?"

No.

Many True God Dao Ancestors watching the situation were startled.

Terms: True God – title; Dao Ancestor – title (together forming the title True God Dao Ancestor).

The attacker was none other than the infamous Demon Hand Dao Ancestor of the Nameless Faction, whose palm technique was widely regarded as among the foremost in the Three Realms; yet she launched her attack and, astonishingly, could not subdue the Myriad Things Envoy after more than ten moves.

Terms: Nameless Faction – faction name; Demon Hand Dao Ancestor – title; Three Realms – realm; Myriad Things Envoy – title.

At that moment——

No.

"Ha ha."

No.

"Ha ha ha."

No.

A burst of loud laughter suddenly rang out from the Myriad Things Envoy.

Terms: Myriad Things Envoy – title.

Swish!

Sound.

Zhou Yu then voluntarily left the Myriad Things Envoy and stepped outside.

Terms: Zhou Yu – personal name; Myriad Things Envoy – title.

In an instant, numerous gazes—filled with shock, doubt, or disbelief—turned toward Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu.

"Looks like everyone who wants to kill me has gathered!" Zhou Yu swept his gaze over the three people present.

Zhou Yu.

"Qian Yu Tian Shen, just who are you?"

Term: Qian Yu Tian Shen – celestial deity; Qian Yu – component of the name.

The Demon Hand Dao Ancestor fixed her gaze on Zhou Yu; the exquisite profundity of the time and space mysteries woven into his sword technique was something she had scarcely ever witnessed.

Terms: Demon Hand Dao Ancestor – title; Zhou Yu – personal name; time and space – generic concepts.

"You'll find out soon enough," Zhou Yu said calmly.

Zhou Yu.

Boom!

Sound.

Zhou Yu ceased suppressing his aura, and the vast magical power of a Second Rank Ancestor Immortal erupted explosively.

Terms: Zhou Yu – personal name; Second Rank Ancestor Immortal – title/rank; vast magical power – generic.

"This aura?"

No.

"What tremendous magical power!"

No.

"「. 」"

Probably a period placeholder; no content.

All the True God Dao Ancestors were shocked; this magical power was terrifying beyond even a Dao Ancestor.

Terms: True God – title; Dao Ancestor – title (forming True God Dao Ancestor); Dao Ancestor – also appears alone.

"Vast Void Water, Time‑shadow Moon, Spacetime Pool."

Terms: Vast Void Water – item; Time‑shadow Moon – item; Spacetime Pool – location.

Zhou Yu spoke softly, and suddenly dark‑silver water droplets pattered down around the spacetime of his battlefield, while a purple crescent moon flickered in and out of view within that spacetime.

Terms: Zhou Yu – personal name; spacetime – concept; dark silver water drops – generic; purple crescent moon – generic.

Those droplets contained astonishing spatial power, while the purple crescent moon embodied temporal power.

Terms: water drop – generic; spatial power – generic; purple crescent moon – generic; temporal power – generic.

The two powers intertwined and burst forth, instantly twisting the surrounding spacetime.

Terms: power – generic; spacetime – generic.

At this point, the Demon Hand Dao Ancestor and her two companions naturally sensed that something was amiss.

Terms: Demon Hand Dao Ancestor – title; three people – generic.

"Wu Ying, An Guang, you two go first," the Demon Hand Dao Ancestor said, and in the next instant she lunged at Zhou Yu.

Terms: Wu Ying – personal name; An Guang – personal name; Demon Hand Dao Ancestor – title (speaker).

"Too late."

No.

Zhou Yu kept a calm expression; at that moment, to the other Dao Ancestors watching from outside, Zhou Yu, the Demon Hand Dao Ancestor, the Dark Light Sword Master, and the No Shadow Dao Ancestor all vanished from the spot, leaving only a pool of water whose surface continuously roiled with intertwining silver and purple light.

Terms: Zhou Yu – personal name; Demon Hand Dao Ancestor – title; Dark Light Sword Master – title; No Shadow Dao Ancestor – title; other Dao Ancestors – generic; outside world – generic.

"It's a formation."

No.

The True God Dao Ancestors of both major factions realized this.

Terms: faction – generic; True God – title; Dao Ancestor – title (forming True God Dao Ancestor).

"Those dark‑silver droplets must be Vast Void Chaos Water."

Terms: dark silver droplets – generic; Vast Void Chaos Water – item/artifact (chaotic treasure).

Many mighty beings of the Nüwa Faction also recognized what one of the two treasures Zhou Yu had deployed was.

Terms: Nüwa Faction – faction name; great beings – generic; Zhou Yu – personal name; two treasures – generic.

Vast Void Chaos Water is a kind of Chaotic Wonder that contains tremendous spatial power; in ancient times, a mighty being of humanity wandering the chaos discovered a river full of such droplets and went to great lengths to bring it back to the Three Realms.

Terms: Vast Void Chaos Water – item; Chaotic Wonder – item; spatial power – generic; ancient humanity – generic; great being – generic; chaos – generic; Three Realms – realm.

This Chaotic Wonder is stored in the treasury of ancient humanity, but because it is extremely difficult to utilize, only occasionally do Dao Ancestors exchange for some of it to use in crafting.

Terms: Chaotic Wonder – item; ancient humanity – generic; treasury – generic; Dao Ancestor – title; refining artifacts – generic.

Yet the Vast Void Chaos Water present here is terrifyingly abundant—enough for an ordinary Dao Ancestor to refine artifacts ten million times.

Terms: Vast Void Chaos Water – item; ordinary Dao Ancestor – title; refining – generic.

Although they did not recognize the purple crescent moon, they also guessed it was another kind of Chaotic Wonder.

Terms: Purple Crescent Moon – item (chaotic wonder).

"Qian Yu used the two Chaotic Wonders as a foundation to set up this formation," thought the Dao Ancestors of the Nüwa Faction, their minds filled with myriad thoughts.

Terms: Qian Yu – personal name; Chaotic Wonder – item; formation – generic; Nüwa Faction – faction; Dao Ancestor – title.

As for Zhou Yu's strength, they had too many questions.

Terms: Zhou Yu – personal name; strength – generic.

But the situation was urgent, so even the mighty beings of the Nüwa Faction had no time

Terms: Nüwa Faction – faction; great beings – generic; Nameless Gate – faction/door; Dao Ancestor – title.

【274】

Terms: Zhou Yu – personal name; Demon Hand – title; Nameless Faction – faction.

【276? Actually there is no line 【276】 Chinese; after 【274】 there is a Terms line 【275】 then maybe 【276】 is missing. Then 【278】? Actually after 【275】 Terms, we have 【276】? Let's see original: after 【274】 line, there is 【275】 Terms:... then 【276】? Actually the text shows:

Terms: Demon Hand – title; Huanmu Zhu Ren – personal name (owner of Huanmu).

Terms: Huanmu Zhu Ren – personal name; Grand Master of Formations – title.

Thus we need to include "Huanmu Zhu Ren" as a character name.

Terms: Demon Hand Dao Ancestor – title.

【284】

Terms: wondrous spacetime – generic.

Demon Hand Dao Ancestor frowned, watching Zhou Yu a short distance away; she had just attempted to get close, but could not close the gap at all.

Terms: Demon Hand Dao Ancestor – title; Zhou Yu – personal name.

【288】

Terms: Demon Hand Dao Ancestor – title; Zhou Yu – personal name; time and space – generic; Three Realms – realm.

Huanmu Zhu Ren, after hearing Demon Hand Dao Ancestor finish speaking, quickly said, "This formation, though it appears to have been prepared beforehand, could not have been laid out too extensively; otherwise we would have detected it earlier. The magical power that Qian Yu Heavenly God just released was extremely terrifying; you cannot break this formation now, likely because of his power."

Terms: Huanmu Zhu Ren – personal name; Demon Hand Dao Ancestor – title; Qian Yu Heavenly God – deity name; magical power – generic.

【292】

Terms: Huanmu Zhu Ren – personal name; Grand Master of Formations – title.

Indeed, regarding realms, Zhou Yu and Demon Hand Dao Ancestor are not far apart; his strength lies in magical power, and with that power, together with the two pre‑arranged Chaotic Wonders as a base, he formed this formation that even Demon Hand Dao Ancestor cannot counter.

Terms: Zhou Yu – personal name; Demon Hand Dao Ancestor – title; magical power – generic; Chaotic Wonder – item; formation – generic.

【296】

Terms: Demon Hand – title (address).

"Hold them off first; Feng Mo and I will try to rescue you from outside," Huanmu Zhu Ren said.

Terms: Feng Mo – personal name (companion).

Terms: Huanmu Zhu Ren – personal name.

【302】

Terms: Demon Hand Dao Ancestor – title.

Huanmu Zhu Ren clearly believes she cannot break the formation and leave alone.

Terms: Master of Huanmu – personal name.

【306】

Sound.

Demon Hand Dao Ancestor, at this point, did not hold back; a pair of gloves as thin as cicada wings appeared on her hands, which were her strongest weapon and a treasure of the Chaotic Wonder tier.

Terms: Demon Hand Dao Ancestor – title; gloves – generic; strongest weapon – generic; Chaotic Wonder – item; treasure – generic.

Putting on the gloves is when the Magic Hand Dao Ancestor is at its strongest.

Boom!

Magic Hand Dao Ancestor unleashed a boom, the terrifying power surged wildly and boomed toward Zhou Yu, who seemed within arm's reach.

But Zhou Yu merely smiled and watched; although Magic Hand Dao Ancestor's palm swept through countless time and space, it could never touch him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Magic Hand Dao Ancestor struck repeatedly, but still could not touch Zhou Yu.

And at this moment, suddenly a ripple came from behind; Magic Hand Dao Ancestor's expression changed slightly, she turned her head, and saw the Dark Light Sword Master looking incredulously behind.

Zhou Yu didn't know when he had appeared there; by then he had already pierced the Dark Light Sword Master with a sword.

"Heard you like assassination? How about my assassination techniques?" Zhou Yu said, while the Zhou Yu not far from Magic Hand Dao Ancestor turned into foam and dissipated on the spot.

Obviously, the Zhou Yu just there was merely an illusion; his true body had long since approached the Dark Light Sword Master.

At this moment, the Dark Light Sword Master still wanted to say something, but the terrifying power contained in that sword erupted, and as a mere Qi Refining cultivator, he naturally died instantly.

Witnessing this, Magic Hand Dao Ancestor's eyes turned slightly cold, while Shadowless Dao Ancestor's face paled, and he directly unleashed his supreme divine ability, 'Shadowless'.

Once this ability is unleashed, he splits into six, becoming six shadows, with his true body hidden in one of them, and he can shift at any time among the shadows.

It can be said that as long as not all six shadows are attacked simultaneously, Shadowless Dao Ancestor is immortal.

Whoosh!

Zhou Yu also sped over to Shadowless Dao Ancestor's vicinity, launching several attacks, striking Shadowless Dao Ancestor's shadows one by one, but because he had to attack six shadows at once, his power was dispersed, and he could not inflict significant damage on Shadowless Dao Ancestor.

"Fortunately, most of his power is being tied up by Magic Hand." Shadowless Dao Ancestor also felt a bit perilous.

The power Zhou Yu displayed was too terrifying; Shadowless Dao Ancestor did not believe Zhou Yu could kill him.

The reason the opponent could only launch several consecutive strikes without killing him was that Magic Hand Dao Ancestor kept attacking nonstop.

This grand formation, to maintain its effect while neutralizing Magic Hand Dao Ancestor's attacks and also imprisoning the two of them, cannot be without consumption.

Most of Zhou Yu's power is being tied up; the remainder wanting to kill Shadowless Dao Ancestor is certainly not that simple.

However, before Shadowless Dao Ancestor could finish feeling relieved, the next moment Zhou Yu waved his hand.

Splash!

Another Zhou Yu appeared here.

"Second primal spirit?" Shadowless Dao Ancestor's heart turned cold.

"Shadowless Dao Ancestor, die." Zhou Yu's second primal spirit then, with vast mana, unleashed a terrifying technique combining time and space.

Given Zhou Yu's realm, plus the mana of a second-tier Ancestor Immortal, this move, although not reaching the pinnacle of Ancestor God level, is still stronger than a normal leader's strike.

This technique drew forth terrifying temporal-spatial tides; although Shadowless Dao Ancestor resisted with all his might, his six shadows were instantly drawn in.

Zhou Yu's eruption was too terrifying; even if his power was dispersed among the six shadows, it caused Shadowless Dao Ancestor's true godly body to be rapidly worn away.

The terrifying technique, Zhou Yu's second primal spirit erupted in succession over ten moves; if in the outside world, Shadowless Dao Ancestor could flee or call for aid, but here he obviously had no chance.

"I never expected that I would also have this day." Shadowless Dao Ancestor felt the approach of death.

Hiss!

Shadowless Dao Ancestor turned into flying ash.

Magic Hand Dao Ancestor watched all this, her heart growing threefold colder.

In this strange spacetime, she could not save Shadowless Dao Ancestor either, only able to watch him be exterminated.

…

"Magic Hand Dao Ancestor, it's your turn."

At this moment, Zhou Yu's true self and second primal spirit turned simultaneously, facing Magic Hand Dao Ancestor.

"Come on."

Magic Hand Dao Ancestor spoke; at this moment she was not fearful, but rather somewhat excited.

Endless ages, she had not felt the danger of death for a long time; she never expected that, before the final battle of this Great Tribulation even arrived, she would already encounter a life-and-death crisis.
