The extremely condensed Space-Time Law, coupled with potent divine power, instantly shattered the surrounding space and time, breaking the control over the surrounding time and space. Immediately after, a figure emerged from the hidden void, rapidly expanding until a divine body tens of thousands of kilometers tall appeared in the universe.
Qin Hao also clearly saw the appearance of the person hidden in the void. His image was very similar to a human, in the form of an old human man, hunchbacked, with green skin, and numerous tentacles.
“Xu Zhen Demon God!”
Qin Hao recognized the identity of the person before him: Xu Zhen Demon God, a lone Universe Strongest in the Primordial Universe, skilled in illusions. Furthermore, he had a deep relationship with Mechanical Race Father God. Now that he had appeared here, the situation became very clear.
To be able to move a Universe Strongest to act, it certainly wasn't the Monster Race or the Automaton Race acting alone. It was highly likely a conspiracy of the three races, and the price paid must have been significant.
After all, the strength Qin Hao had exposed was that of a sixth-order Universe Lord. He had also briefly exchanged blows with Dream Monster Ancestor and directly captured Lord of the Skywolf, a fourth-order Universe Lord.
Under this series of achievements, whether in terms of status or strength, the price for Xu Zhen Demon God would not be low. Moreover, the choice to act in the Zu Shen Mystic Realm should also be because the alien races transmitted the news back after Qin Hao showed up in the square earlier, which attracted Xu Zhen Demon God's arrival.
After all, opportunities to act are not always easy to come by. Qin Hao had long been within the Human Race territory, and it would be very difficult for even a Universe Strongest to target a Human Race powerhouse within their own territory.
Origin Ancestor’s secret method, Virtual Universe, is not just a simple virtual network connecting all Human Race members. While alien races below the Venerable level might not cause a stir when entering Human Race territory, alien races at or above the Venerable level entering Human Race territory would definitely be discovered.
If it were a Universe Strongest, upon entering Human Race territory, they would immediately alert the Virtual Universe, synchronizing the information to Primordial Chaos City Lord, Great Axe Founder, and other powerhouses. What would follow would be a massive encirclement by numerous powerhouses.
Even if a Universe Strongest is very difficult to kill in the Primordial Universe, they would still suffer heavy losses under the siege of many powerhouses.
Now, Qin Hao’s appearance in the Zu Shen Mystic Realm was undoubtedly a good opportunity. After all, as long as the action didn't take place within the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, the Elder God Cult's chances of intervening were very small. Moreover, in the intelligence of various races, not many people knew about Qin Hao becoming a Guardian Beast God.
In the intelligence of the three races and Xu Zhen Demon God, Qin Hao was merely a successor of the Elder God Cult, and this trip to the Elder God Cult was to escort a new successor.
Therefore, after Xu Zhen Demon God entered the Zu Shen Mystic Realm, he carefully concealed himself in the void, waiting for an opportunity to act. Unexpectedly, upon arrival, he discovered Nine Nether Lord by Qin Hao's side and chose not to act.
After Nine Nether Lord left, Qin Hao prepared to depart. Xu Zhen Demon God did not want to miss the opportunity, so he chose to strike.
However, the first simple clash immediately put Xu Zhen Demon God from an active to a passive position. The unexpected attack surprisingly did not cause much damage to Qin Hao, and his massive divine body and rapid divine power recovery quickly replenished the lost divine body.
One attack had no effect, and his whereabouts were discovered. The powerful time-space power just now surprised even a Universe Strongest. In the Primordial Universe, the cultivation of Space-Time Law is very difficult; most Universe Lords have only comprehended Time Law and Space Law, and very few truly have achievements in Time-Space Fusion Law.
Originally, Primordial Chaos City Lord was the strongest in the Primordial Universe regarding Time-Space Fusion Law cultivation. He hadn't expected another such genius to appear in the Human Race now.
“Hahaha, kid, you dare to attack me? Are you ready to face death?” Xu Zhen Demon God's figure appeared, and at the same time, his mysterious armor manifested, fitting every inch of Xu Zhen Demon God’s body. The moment the armor appeared, the impact of the surrounding shattered time and space on him disappeared.
Even the Time-Space Grinding Disc, fully activated by Qin Hao, could not harm Xu Zhen Demon God at this moment. Layers of dark void even appeared around Xu Zhen Demon God’s body.
“I am protected by a Supreme Treasure; you have no chance of winning. I have traversed the Universe Sea for countless years, and no one has been able to kill me. Do you still want to fight?” Xu Zhen Demon God’s voice came, containing faint soul fluctuations that spread with the sound.
Qin Hao even felt that as the sound arrived, he could see Xu Zhen Demon God fighting in the Universe Sea. Facing numerous powerhouses, he could calmly handle them. In the illusion, Qin Hao himself seemed to have transformed into an extremely weak existence, who would be instantly killed in Xu Zhen Demon God's hands.
Feeling the surrounding illusion, it was as if he was in a real scene. The surrounding life was very real, Xu Zhen Demon God’s power was very real, and even his own weakness was very real.
However, Qin Hao was already prepared for the appearance of the illusion. Xu Zhen Demon God, whose title was ‘Xu Zhen’ (meaning ‘illusory true’), was named so because of his powerful illusions. He could evolve illusions into a seemingly real existence, making it impossible for powerhouses enveloped in the illusion to distinguish between reality and illusion.
In such a state, even a sixth-order Universe Lord would be at his mercy. Only those with a peak soul Supreme Treasure could resist.
Of course, for Qin Hao, the impact of these illusions was very limited. Qin Hao’s will and soul were already very powerful, not at all weaker than a True God level powerhouse. Xu Zhen Demon God’s illusion might be strong for others, but for Qin Hao, it was just child’s play.
In addition, Qin Hao had just acquired a peak soul Supreme Treasure in the Elder God Cult, which now came in handy. Furthermore, with Qin Hao’s deep cultivation of the Visualization Method and the complex situation in his sea of consciousness, it was not something an illusion could shake.
Qin Hao did not immediately break the illusion but waited for Xu Zhen Demon God’s next move. Facing a Universe Strongest, and one with a Supreme Treasure, it was impossible to gain the initiative in battle through brute force; only by outsmarting him could he succeed.
Through the brief exchange with Dream Monster Ancestor, Qin Hao also understood the power of a Universe Strongest. Even if they couldn't fully unleash their potential in the Primordial Universe, he would find it difficult to gain an advantage on his own.
It should be known that in the original work, even on Zijing Island, with the help of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, Two-Faced Ancestor God only repelled Xu Zhen Demon God and did not cause much real damage.
Now that Xu Zhen Demon God was using an illusion against him, he had truly hit a wall. His powerful soul and visualized stars, coupled with the nourishment brought to his soul by the Nuwa Diagram Contemplation Method and “Eight Tribulation Lifeform” during this period, had made Qin Hao’s soul even stronger, and he had many new ideas for soul applications.
His previous Dream Realm Descent was just a prototype.
