Chapter 573 You are surrounded

With his primordial spirit astral projection guiding him, Zhou Nan can accurately know the location of all players in the Investiture of the Gods world, ensuring that the colossal demon never misses its target when capturing people.

The reason Zhou Nan ordered the super demon Zhou Batian to go out and capture people was mainly because he possessed a mind controller.

This mind controller is a bit shameless. Once activated, it forcibly draws aggro, and the opponent can't even run away. This is an advantage that neither nuclear-powered sword immortals nor true greatsword generals have.

The latter two continued to hunt down the Imaginary Universe Emperors. It was precisely because Zhou Nan released these two Imaginary Gods that the Imaginary Universe Emperors, who were being used as world bosses, made no waves at all. Many Imaginary Universe Emperors were often killed as soon as they appeared.

For over three hundred years, most players have never even seen the Imaginary Universe Emperor.

Half a day later, following Dinosaur Emperor Zhang Daqian, Pig Emperor Zhu Paigu, who was originally ranked second in the Investiture of the Gods points leaderboard, was also sent to the Investiture of the Gods platform.

The two emperors were extremely frustrated. After exchanging words, they learned that they had both died at the hands of the super demon Zhou Batian, and they cursed each other.

A little over half a day later, Xuan Jiankong also went up to the Conferred God Platform, followed by Chen Feinian, Wu Dalang, and so on.

It took Zhou Nan seven whole days to kill all the top thirty players on the God-Investiture Points leaderboard, except for Wu Tian, ​​Xing Lun, and the three top players from the Deep Sea Demon God Tu, including the core guard Lan Yuping.

Lan Yuping was lying flat, having spent three hundred years in the world of Investiture of the Gods enjoying life. She hadn't fought many monsters, and her Investiture of the Gods points were only one, which Zhou Nan had also cleared.

As for the Deep Sea Demon God Tu Sanjia escaping unscathed, it's because this guy is rather cunning. He probably noticed the changes in the rankings on the God Conferment Points leaderboard and guessed that someone was hunting them, so he hid everywhere, hiding at the bottom of lakes and in deep pits, going wherever was remote.

Now, the Deep Sea Demon God Tu Sanjia is at the top of the Godhood Points Ranking.

"Hiding anywhere is useless. If you don't have a physical body, searching for you would be a little more troublesome, but with a physical body, and with my qi locked and my primordial spirit positioned outside your body, you're just an ant on a bald man's head no matter where you hide. Now let's begin the second round of cleansing..."

At the summit of Chiyang Mountain, Zhou Nan smiled slightly. He had already discovered the Deep Sea Demon God, who was hiding in a crevice two thousand meters underground. And this second round of cleansing would begin with him.

A day later, Tu Sanjia, the Demon God of the Deep Sea, jumped up and down and cursed loudly on the Conferred God Platform.

The zombie king Qiang is also here. This guy could be on the Conferred God Platform at any time. This time, he was killed by the Dinosaur Emperor Zhang Daqian.

"Deep Sea Demon, were you killed by a colossal demon?"

"The zombie king asked curiously."

For the past month, news has been circulating in the world of Fengshen that a colossal demon has appeared, and any player whose Fengshen points are not zero will be hunted down by it.

This colossal demon isn't particularly strong, but it's incredibly resilient. In battles, it mostly engages in stationary attacks, yet no one seems to escape its clutches.

Tu Sanjia said, "It's that silly guy! He's so infuriating! He can find me even if I'm hiding more than two thousand meters underground!"

The Living Zombie King said forcefully, "I was fortunate enough to witness his actions, Deep Sea Demon God. Have you noticed that his methods are very similar to those of the Mountain Guardian?"

"Mountain guardians? You mean the guardians of Chiyang Mountain?" Tu Sanjia's heart skipped a beat. "Now that you mention it, it seems they really are; their skills are very similar!"

"I have a bold guess."

The Living Zombie King said forcefully, "Over the years, I've challenged many masters, such as Cihang Daoren, Yuding Zhenren, Yang Jian, and Nezha. I've found that their moves are very similar. I suspect they, like the mountain guardian, come from the same school! There might be a mastermind behind this Investiture of the Gods world, secretly monitoring everything and toying with you all!"

"Really?" the Deep Sea Demon God said. "Now that you mention it, I have an idea. After I'm resurrected next time, I can hide in Crimson Sun Mountain. I have a relationship with the mountain guardian. If I encounter danger while hiding there, do you think the guardian will help me?"

Wang Qiang shook his head and said, "Lord Demon God, did you not understand? I meant that the mountain guardian and that colossal demon are in cahoots. Forgive my bluntness, but if you really hide in Chiyang Mountain, you'll be like a lamb entering a tiger's den. I think the best way is for you to unite and gather together to prevent being defeated one by one by that colossal demon."

"To unite and fight a colossal demon?"

"Yes, they even gathered together to attack Chiyang Mountain! I'm now guessing that the big boss hiding behind the scenes is the one at the summit of Chiyang Mountain!"

Tu Sanjia thought about it for a moment and felt that it was indeed an idea. He nodded and said, "Okay, once I'm resurrected, I'll contact the others. Why don't you come and be my helper too..."

After the Deep Sea Demon God Tu Sanjia was resurrected, he indeed contacted other players. Whenever the Living Zombie King Qiang met other players, he would use the same story.

A few days later, Zhou Nan's second round of cleansing was completed. The top 28 players in the Godhood Points Ranking were basically wiped out. He then started the third round of cleansing, starting with the player with the highest ranking in the points ranking.

But this time, Zhou Nan unexpectedly discovered that the players he was preparing to hunt were clustered together.

This was once the kingdom of the Witch Kingdom, a place of extreme luxury, but now it is a ruin. In this ruin, the Dinosaur Emperor Zhang Daqian, the Deep Sea Demon God Tu Sanjia, the Pig Emperor Zhu Paigu, and others gathered together and established a camp.

Not far from them was another group of players, the 16 players that Blue Jade Flower had secretly trained.

These people gathered here to see if the colossal demon Zhou Batian would appear.

Emperor Dinosaur Zhang Daqian is giving a speech: "Ladies and gentlemen, now facing a powerful enemy, we must unite and work together to deal with that colossal demon Zhou Batian, who is nothing but a mangy dog..."

There was no player within 300 meters of him. His voice was so loud that his saliva could form a river. Like a mobile propaganda vehicle, he shouted slogans, causing many players to cover their ears.

"We shouldn't have called Zhang Daqian over; he's too noisy."

The Deep Sea Demon God shook his head repeatedly. Sitting opposite him were Zhu Paigu, Chen Feinian, Xuan Jiankong, the Living Zombie King Qiang, Murong Huayan, the White-Browed Old Monk, Zhe Yunfei, and others.

The zombie king, Qiang, has now become a kind of strategist. He used a twig to write and draw on the sand table on the ground, saying, "I have studied all the names on the points leaderboard, and now I can basically confirm that the super demon Zhou Batian, Taiyi Zhenren, Yuding Zhenren, Duobao Daoren, Yang Jian, Nezha, and so on, as well as the guardian of Chiyang Mountain, are all in cahoots. Their abilities are also very similar, and they are probably working for the same behind-the-scenes big boss."

The two-headed demon lizard player said, "It's a pity that I can't find my teacher or the Holy Ancestor. Otherwise, if we joined forces with the two of them, killing that super demon Zhou Batian would be no problem at all."

Emperor Pig Zhu Paigu asked, "Everyone, why does that colossal evil demon Zhou Batian want to hunt us down? What is his purpose?"

Tu Sanjia said, "I asked him that question before, but that guy, with his theatrical voice, completely ignored me! I think he's just showing off his strength!"

Xuan Jiankong said, "Now that so many of us are gathered together, I wonder if he still dares to come!"

Tu Sanjia said, "I actually hope he comes. I refuse to believe that so many of us working together can't kill him!"

At that moment, the Moth Goddess Chen Fei seemed to sense something. She looked up at the sky and said, "They've arrived!"

Upon hearing the sound, everyone looked over and indeed saw someone riding a cloud in the sky. The person riding the cloud was none other than the colossal demon Zhou Batian.

This person is strange. Every time he fights, his body is mutated, sometimes even becoming unrecognizable as a human or a monster. But after the battle, he quickly returns to his original form.

The other players also spotted the colossal demon Zhou Batian. Dinosaur Emperor, his spirits lifted, shouted, "They really dared to come! Brothers, let's fight!"

He wasn't afraid of the super demon Zhou Batian. Although he had been killed by him twice, he understood that this guy's attack power wasn't high; he was just troublesome. If he stood still and let him hit him, Zhou Batian wouldn't be able to kill him within half a day.

At the Dinosaur Emperor's shout, everyone in the camp assumed a fighting stance, and most of them flew into the air.

Facing so many players, the colossal demon Zhou Batian let out a strange howl and roared, "I've come to take your lives..."

"Hmph, what nonsense!"

The loud-voiced Dinosaur Emperor interrupted Zhou Batian, shouting, "Things are different now. We're organized. With so many of us together, are we afraid of just one person?"

"Aaaaaah!" The colossal demon Zhou Batian, whose eyes were always wide with rage, roared, "I am not alone! You are surrounded! Stop your futile resistance and surrender!"

"Who are you trying to scare!"

The Dinosaur Emperor waved his paws and said, "Gentlemen, don't hold back! Let's all attack together! This guy has thick skin and tough flesh, but I don't believe we can't kill him if we all gang up on him..."

Before he could finish speaking, a gust of wind swept up dust and sand, and from all directions, streaks of light flew in, revealing one figure after another.

"That's... Master Taiyi! He hasn't appeared since the Lich War!"

"And there's also Jade Cauldron Immortal!"

"Master Duobao!"

"The Four Demonic Generals!"

"Why are there so many people all of a sudden?"

"What does this mean?!"

"Damn it, I told you so, they're all in cahoots, this time it was a group effort..."

The players immediately started shouting and discussing.

Appearing in all directions were none other than Zhou Nan's imagined gods, including the Twelve Golden Immortals, the Daoist of Many Treasures, the Barefoot Immortal, Venus, the Old Man of the South Pole, and so on.

There are 43 people in total!

These 43 gods of imagination gathered from all directions, forming a kind of encirclement.

In the third round of purges, Zhou Nan dispatched a large force.

However, these imaginary gods did not make a move immediately after they appeared. The leader was not the colossal demon Zhou Nanbatian, but the Venerable Pudu Zhou Yinxiang.

He rode on a somersault cloud, leaping over the colossal demon Zhou Batian, and faced the Dinosaur Emperor Zhang Daqian head-on. His face was cold and aloof as he roared, "Listen up, you people over there! Don't resist, just obediently accept your death. From today onwards, as long as you don't farm Godhood Points, you'll be fine. But if you farm even a single point, you'll be killed without mercy, no matter where you are. Do you understand?!"

No one responded, leaving the Dinosaur Emperor and the others somewhat bewildered.

The Venerable Pudu then drew a suona from his waist, held it with both hands, looked around, and casually said, "Make your move!"

At that moment, the super demon Zhou Batian let out a strange cry and flew like a cannonball to the Dinosaur Emperor Zhang Daqian. The mind controller took effect, enveloping all the players within a kilometer radius.

"All of you, come and attack me!"

He shouted and squatted down on the ground, covering his head.

Meanwhile, all the players around him were affected by the mind controller, and they all rushed towards him uncontrollably, beating him up with the most primitive punches and kicks.

The scene instantly descended into chaos.

At this moment, the suona of the Venerable Pudu rang out, and the other 41 gods of imagination raised their palms at the same time.

Boom boom boom boom...

Forty-one golden handprints descended from the sky, arranged in perfect order.

Then came the equally neatly arranged golden halberds, followed by a large handprint, then another golden halberd...

Amidst the piercing sound of suona horns, 41 gods of fantasy launched a coordinated attack, indiscriminately assaulting all players below.

"Stop! I was just here to watch the fun!"

"I don't have any points! I'm a law-abiding citizen, please don't hit me!"

"They all possess real destructive power; my physical body can't withstand it!"

"Go ahead and fight Zhang Da if you dare!"

"Whose terrible idea was to gather here? We're going to get caught in the crossfire!"

"I'm hanging up!"

"See you all at the Investiture of the Gods Platform. I'll be taking my leave now..."

The players who were surrounded and attacked quickly suffered casualties, turning into white light one after another. Dinosaur Emperor Zhang Daqian was the most resilient and survived to the end, but his body was blown apart!

Thus, all these players, including the zombies and other onlookers, went up to the Conferred God Platform and started cursing loudly.

Lan Caihe, who was in the Star-Picking Tower, was stunned when she saw this scene, even though she was the embodiment of the core and did not show much human emotion.

After a long while, he murmured, "That Black Card Emperor has turned this world of gods into his own stage!"

Lan Cuihua, who was standing nearby, also sensed something and suddenly said, "I know what he's going to do. He's not allowing other players to farm Godhood Points; he wants everyone's Godhood Points to be zero so that no one can receive the Holy Sword!"

"Um……"

Upon hearing this, Lan Caihe quickly mobilized the core computing power. She wanted to calculate what would happen if all players' Godhood Points were zero when the Holy Sword Mission ended.

Soon, the calculation results came out, and she said blankly, "If the Holy Sword quest ends and all players' Godhood Points are zero, then the Holy Sword quest is invalid. Holy Sword, Holy Sword..."

"What will happen to the Holy Sword?" Lan Cuihua asked curiously.

"The Holy Sword will be a loot drop from the final boss; whoever gets it first keeps it!"

"Can everyone go and rob it?"

"Yes!"

"Ah, that's more like it, fair!" said Lan Cuihua. "Then who is the ultimate boss? Is it still the fake Unicron?"

"Yes and no," Lan Cuihua said. "The ultimate BOSS is a fantastical life form that I created using a vast amount of resources and the power of my core. Her physical body is real, but her soul and abilities are a simulation of a cosmic overlord. In terms of strength, she's not much weaker than the projection of the cosmic overlord that invaded us back then!"
