Chapter 1164: The Activity Ends and a New One Begins

To escape this fatal fate.

Though he was merely a copy of Osborn's body, even if he perished, it would not affect Osborn's original form.

Yet he bore too many true divine artifacts and treasures of the supreme deities. He could not leave these priceless relics behind on the Supreme Continent—such a loss would be catastrophic for his original self.

Thus, he sought forgiveness first.

Then, he would find a way to escape, returning to his original form.

At the same time, he had made a firm decision:

Until his original form had fully inherited the master's treasure, he would never dare provoke this arrogant Sun Lord again.

This creature is truly terrifying!

He had gathered such vast armies to besiege him, yet still, he could not overcome him.

Zhou Zhan and Zhou Wu heard this and snorted with scorn.

Do you have the Bodhi Sovereign and still ask me?

Without a word, the two of them immediately struck down the creature with a blade and a hammer.

They also seized all of its loot.

Since they had only slain a copy and not the original being, the effect of the "Loot King" was not triggered. The loot that Zhou had just observed through the "Mind Thief" remained at its original rank.

Yet Zhou Zhan was already content.

After all, among these items were several extremely useful main god-level treasures.

Then, together with Zhou Wu, they turned and flew toward the other six subordinate Crimson Deities, the pseudo-main gods.

At this moment, they had forcibly broken free from the temporal stasis.

But due to the immensely powerful temporal stasis ability of the Ancient Holy Soil, their combat effectiveness remained significantly impaired.

But that was not the most important thing.

What mattered most was that, having regained half their mobility, they had witnessed the scene of Zhou Zhan and Zhou Wu uniting to kill Oss.

They were utterly stunned.

"Oss... is dead?!"

"He may have been merely a Red Lord of the New Era, but under the power of so many divine-tier artifacts, his combat strength was the strongest among us!"

"The strength of the strongest no longer matters—what matters is that Oss was personally appointed by the Lord of Redness as the supreme commander of our invasion into the Supreme Continent. If he is gone, what now? How do we proceed with our invasion?"

"Unknown. Shall we appoint a new supreme commander?"

"I have a dreadful feeling about this."

As the words fell, they saw Zhou Zhan and Zhou Wu turn and fly toward them.

This sent their faces turning pale.

"Bad! They've got two of them coming after us!"

"Panicking? We, six subordinate crimson deities of the main gods, dare not fear one of them!"

"Let's go!"

...

The six subordinate crimson deities immediately aligned in thought and charged toward Zhou Zhan and Zhou Wu.

But the next instant,

they saw Zhou Zhan unfold his fake Sky-Shielding Umbrella, and vanish completely in an instant.

"Destroy the other duplicate!"

Though startled by his disappearance, they quickly executed their next tactical move.

But at that very moment—

Zhou Zhan suddenly appeared behind them, and in a single stroke, plunged his blade into the divine body of Luo Meng's Crimson Sovereign.

The law of the main divine artifact, the Infinite Heavenly River Blade, erupted violently, instantly decapitating this false sovereign-level crimson spirit.

Another of the six false sovereign-level crimson spirits was slain!

"Kill him!"

Seeing Zhou Zhan suddenly appear within their midst, they immediately shifted their target to eliminate him.

Several of the false sovereign-level crimson spirits burned with furious eyes.

How dare he appear within their encirclement? Did they think they were mere vegetables?

With a coordinated assault, even if he wore the main divine artifact upon his body, he would surely suffer grievous wounds. And if their coordination were flawless, they might very well kill this phantom here and now.

With that thought in mind—

These five subordinate crimson deities of the false chief gods no longer hesitated—they swiftly drew forth their most potent offensive tactics, and among them were no shortage of other master god-level weapons, all converging to annihilate Zhou Zhan.

Boom…boom…boom…

A deluge of colored master god-level laws exploded within their encircling formation, generating colossal waves of energy that forced the five subordinate crimson deities of the false chief gods to violently retreat billions of kilometers away.

When they finally stopped, their eyes widened in horror, fixed upon the center of the explosion.

Has the Celestial Sovereign perished?

The next instant—

Four beams of light, each radiating the aura of a master god, burst from the heart of the blast, racing toward each of the five subordinate crimson deities with terrifying speed.

How could these subordinate crimson deities possibly have anticipated such a turn?

Wasn’t it only Zhou Zhan who stood as the threat?

How could four master god-level beings—so similar in aura—appear out of nowhere?!

A dread, like a harbinger of death, stirred within their hearts, prompting an instinctive urge to flee.

But it was too late.

Zhou Zhan materialized before the Sovereign of the Red Empire of Cang Luo, and in a single stroke, severed the head of this high-ranking sovereign.

Zhou Wu teleported to the Sovereign of the Red Empire of Mingyou, and with a series of thunderous blows, ended the cowardly fugitive.

Zhou Zheng burst forward to the Sovereign of the Red Empire of Jiu Bi, wielding the Divine Sword of Xuanyuan, cleaving off the enemy's head and shattering their divine essence.

Zhou Tianming appeared silently before the Sovereign of the Red Empire of Lian Du, gently swaying his master-level bell in hand; as the faint, echoing chime resonated, the enemy's temporary soul vanished without a trace.

The last remaining Fallen Sovereign of the Red Empire did not surprise anyone—eliminated by the combined force of Zhou Zhan and his three companions.

Thus,

all nine of the strongest high-ranking Sovereigns of the Red Empire, including Oss, had perished!

"I came too late."

Zhou Tian said.

He had already departed the Supreme Continent, now serving a mission within a mid-tier world known as the Ming Huang Realm.

Upon receiving Zhou Zhou's command, he immediately abandoned his current task and rushed here—arriving at this moment was already the result of his utmost effort.

"No," Zhou Zhan smiled, then spoke with solemnity,

"From this point forward, I shall maintain the Eternal Sacred Soil and the Ten-Direction Boundless Array, ensuring that the troops of the top one hundred advanced Crimson Empires—including the Chaos Crimson Empire—cannot escape the confines of the Eternal Sacred Soil or the Ten-Direction Boundless Array."

"You and the divine warriors and spirits shall cooperate to eliminate the remaining advanced Crimson Empire warriors and spirits."

"It is not necessary to eradicate them completely—merely destroy over ninety percent will suffice."

"The original form has already consulted the Supreme Will: as long as we eliminate over ninety percent of the warriors and spirits from these one hundred advanced Crimson Empires, our mission is considered fulfilled."

"As for the other Crimson Empires and Crimson Kingdoms, there is no need to waste time on them."

"We only need to eliminate these 100 elite Red Empire generals."

"Good!"

Zhou Wu, Zhou Zheng, and Zhou Tianming all nodded in agreement.

Then, without further delay, the three of them returned directly to the main forces of the Jiaoyang Empire, joining the fray against the Red armies.

Having slain nine Red Empire rulers—including Os— and having used the Ancient Sacred Soil to curtail the strength of the Red forces, the Red troops suffered a double blow—both mentally and physically—leading to a noticeable drop in morale.

Yet, since they understood that their own forces held the numerical advantage, their morale did not plummet entirely. They could still endure the battle.

Time flew by swiftly.

In an instant,

it was already noon on the second day.

Zhou Zhan and the others, engaged in bloody combat within the vast army, suddenly noticed that the crimson horde before them seemed to have received some command, scattering in all directions.

Just as they were bewildered by what had happened, rows of text messages appeared before their eyes.

[Special Event for the Supreme Sovereign: Congratulations to the Praja Empire – Praja Lord! You have eliminated the advanced Crimson Empire led by Oss, destroying the first hundred invading forces on the Supreme Continent. The Crimson Army now leaderless.
