Chapter 996 The Three Elements Unite to Break Through the Grandmaster Barrier

"Beautiful Demon!"

Cang Yao watched as Li Yao was engulfed by the sword light, his plan failing, and he instead fell into the other party's trap.

He roared and activated his demonic body, breaking free from the absorption tornadoes of hundreds of demon-transforming cauldrons on the spot, causing the earth, fire, wind, and water to swirl endlessly.

Just as he was about to raise his head and unleash a blazing golden wind at Zhou You, a huge shadow suddenly descended upon him...

"Standing alone above Mount Sumeru, its wings cover the three realms!"

The golden giant strode forward, pressing his palms, one in front and one behind, against the Cang Yao's neck and back respectively.

The golden light emanating from his arms and shoulders was so intense that it rose up like flames, with clusters of flames resembling thick feathers interwoven and covering the area, revealing a large bird with golden wings slowly spreading its wings.

With palms like claws, it pressed the Azure Demon beneath it, raised its head, and howled as if about to devour it...

The demonic form of the Azure Demon flickered intensely, switching between reality and illusion, writhing like a desperate earthworm.

"A single moment of confusion can stunt all ages!"

The traveler unleashed the secret techniques of the Shishen Sect's fist skills, and large swaths of golden light fell like snowflakes, covering its skin, scales, and even obscuring the Cang Yao's eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and other facial features.

At the same time, the golden runes on his body caused the air to vibrate, and the words actually penetrated into the voice, producing a mysterious and profound chanting sound.

This is a miracle of overcoming a challenge beyond one's level.

Despite being at the late stage of the Strong Martial Realm, the traveler managed to suppress Cang Yao, who was comparable to a Heavenly Sect Master, to the point that he was unable to move.

"Young Master Governor, please act quickly!"

The traveler suddenly spoke up to remind Zhou You.

Zhou You nodded. The traveler didn't eat alone; he was quite particular about his actions.

He immediately clasped his hands and activated the Infant Phoenix Devouring Dragon Technique, causing thousands of broken threads to reconnect and frantically absorb the Dragon Gate attributes from the Azure Demon.

Glug, glug!
Zhou You's heart pounded violently, and the three Grandmaster Marks stirred, activating from their dormant state.

In an instant, the three different Grandmaster Marks attracted each other and rotated, like stars in the dark and mysterious night sky.

The moment of breaking through to the Grandmaster level from the late stage of the Strong Martial Realm is so close, it feels like a dream.

Once the Phoenix Devouring Dragon Technique absorbs the remaining aura of the Azure Demon, the Phoenix Body will be fully restored, propelling his essence and blood to perfection, and his lifespan will break through the thousand-year mark, making him a Grandmaster within easy reach.

That barrier grew clearer and closer, stirring up the Grandmaster's imprint that was ready to stir.

"what!"

A scream rang in her ears as the beautiful demon, covered in wounds, fell from the sky. Before she could even touch the ground, a sword beam as sharp as a pillar of heaven pierced her body through the clouds.

Peacock Six was covered in demon blood and stained with the feathers and down of the beautiful demon, but he had undoubtedly won.

Once the secret technique of overthrowing superiors is successfully mastered, and the superiors in this hierarchy are killed, it has a similar effect to the Infant Phoenix Devouring Dragon Technique.

That's right, the Peacock Fist and Zhou You's Flying Bird Fist come from the same source, and their effects are quite similar.

"..."

Peacock stood atop the enormous corpse of the beautiful demon, the sword in his hand humming and trembling. He glanced in the direction Zhou You was heading.

At this, Zhu Ruoxuan and the other elite guards tensed up and blocked his way. "What do you want to do?"

This unpredictable assassin had attempted to kill Zhou You more than once before. Could it be that he was trying to take advantage of Zhou You's vulnerability?
……

Peacock Six exhaled and shook his head. He seemed tough, but he had already exhausted his strength by killing the beautiful demon. He urgently needed to find a place to heal his wounds, recover his energy, and digest his gains.

Let alone traveling around, he would most likely be unable to withstand even any of the powerful guards.

"..."

Without hesitation, the peacock turned and left, leaving a trail of rainbow-like, dazzling light as it disappeared into the horizon. Seeing this, the traveler, sitting cross-legged on the Azure Demon's back, cautiously lowered his hands.

He also wanted Zhou You to arrange for someone to refine the demon essence for him, so he would not allow the peacock to take advantage of his vulnerability. Even if others could not stop him, he would step in to help.

The peacock left on its own, saving itself a lot of effort.

"This world is not lacking in influential figures who rise to prominence on the winds of change!"

The traveler was deeply moved. He was very experienced and saw that the Peacock's act of subjugating the powerful demons of its own order not only eliminated the hidden danger of demonization, but also gave it the potential to advance to the level of a Grandmaster.

After this departure, when we meet again, this unpredictable assassin may already be a member of the Human Sect.

Thinking this through, the traveler remained calm and unmoved. The Human Sect was merely something easily obtained by him; all he needed was more…

Suddenly, an unusual fluctuation of energy interrupted the traveler's reverie.

"The governor's son, Zhou Daqian!"

The traveler suddenly looked up in the direction of the fluctuation.

Cang Yao was on the verge of death. Most of the thousands of threads connecting him and Zhou You had broken, not because they were severed by external force, but because his energy had decreased and he no longer needed so many threads.

Its large eyelids trembled slightly, and it uttered a single sentence: "What a fine son of the governor!"

Zhou You stopped using the Infant Phoenix Devouring Dragon Technique. His body's essence and blood were now at their peak, having accumulated to a critical value.

At this moment, his overall strength has reached the peak of the late stage of the powerful martial arts realm, the pinnacle of the nine heavens.

Having reached this point, the only way to further enhance one's power is to take that step, break through the Grandmaster barrier, and advance to the Grandmaster level.

The powerful guards, who were nearby, also felt the breathtaking change.

Many grandmasters cried out in alarm, wondering how Zhou Daqian could have reached the threshold of the grandmaster realm at such a crucial moment. This was not the time for a breakthrough, and the occasion was also inappropriate.

It would be best to immediately conceal your presence and wait until the great battle is over before returning to the governor's mansion and finding a secret room to explore and solve the problem.

Although the Ten Demons of the Southeast suffered a crushing defeat, there are still many powerful demons on the battlefield. If they were to see them, they would probably do anything to extinguish Zhou Daqian's chance of advancement.

Dangerous!
The most fatal flaw is that the governor himself, who was supposed to protect the governor's son, never showed up from the very beginning.

Human relationships vary in closeness and distance. Although there are governors and officials from other states present, these masters will not risk Shen's life to save Zhou You or shield him from disaster.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Three sounds rang out in succession, and one after another, Grandmaster Marks burst out from his body, landing three inches above his head and spinning and freezing.

In the blink of an eye, the three Grandmaster Marks merged into one.

"So it turns out that the young master of Zhouzhou possesses the mark of a Grandmaster; he's been hiding it quite well!"

The appearance of the Grandmaster Mark signifies that Zhou You's breakthrough is imminent, and there are no thresholds or cooling-off periods required.

only……

Some people are curious about the secret behind this technique of splitting the Grandmaster's Mark into three and then reuniting them.

"Quickly shatter the Grandmaster's mark; we absolutely cannot allow him to become a Human Grandmaster!"

With his last ounce of strength, Cang Yao informed the surrounding demons that with Zhou You's brilliant and unparalleled abilities, once he became the leader of the human sect and assisted Zhou Nanwang, the demon race would surely suffer annihilation.

There are also differences in strength among the masters. For example, Zhou Nanwang, the Earth Master, is far more powerful and outstanding than the other governors. It is conceivable that once Zhou You becomes the Human Master, he will definitely be one of the best.

……

The cunning demon was tamed into a witch beast, and the beautiful demon was killed. The remaining dragon demon and fear demon rushed from afar upon hearing the news, but it was too late.

Zhou You possessed three Grandmaster Marks and had also used the secret technique of 'Three Elements in One,' making his effect far more powerful than a single Grandmaster Mark.

The large Grandmaster Mark, now fused into one, slowly sank into the top of Zhou You's head, its light soaring into the sky.
