During this period, seizing the Kunpeng's treasure technique under the public's scrutiny would undoubtedly make one a target of universal condemnation. Shi Hao had deeply felt this experience; he had become the public enemy.
If not for his immense strength, anyone else, even a venerable one, would have been killed several times over with no suspense.
At this moment, the treasure bones were scattered and broken into six pieces, making it difficult to gather them all. With so many major forces present and venerables descending, it would be fortunate for any one faction to obtain even a single piece.
In fact, even if someone could reunite the six pieces, they would not possess the complete inheritance—far from the ultimate divine power.
Shi Hao was grateful that he had walked the Kunpeng's path two years ago and had observed the strange runes in the divine nest due to his cultivation in an environment close to its birthplace.
In the final fierce battle, he had infused those runes into the Kunpeng bones, gaining the most valuable secret: the true Kunpeng treasure technique was actually within the Demon Abyss.
He used the hands of others to force himself in, falling downward and sinking into the demon abyss.
He intended to obtain the truly complete and flawless divine power while also taking the opportunity to withdraw from this terrifying vortex, without worrying about being surrounded by enemies.
One could imagine that on the altar, under everyone's gaze, whoever obtained those pieces of bones would inevitably become a living target, never finding peace unless they quickly rose to make even the gods tremble.
The cave was deep, penetrating beneath the seabed, extending who knows how many miles. It grew darker, with eerie howls echoing, as if ancient resentful spirits were weeping.
Eventually, various phantoms emerged, howling mournfully, baring their fangs and claws, wailing in the dark ancient cave like a hellish realm.
At last, Shi Hao descended. He used a treasure to float and landed smoothly.
The cave floor had some light, a greenish glow resembling ghostly eyes. The Demon Abyss was filled with eerie and chilling roars, with figures appearing—some resembling true dragons, others like blue phoenixes, and some like bi'an beasts. There were even sky-swallowing birds, evidently remnants of truly ancient ferocious beasts that once made the heavens tremble.
Unfortunately, they were all dead, ruthlessly subdued by the Kunpeng, now only lingering as unfulfilled obsessions, wailing like ghosts.
The underground world was deep and eerie, with a tunnel extending horizontally into the distance. As Shi Hao walked forward, he felt a prickling on his scalp, seeing many phantoms of ancient ferocious beasts at the heavenly level, constantly roaring.
How powerful was the Kunpeng in its prime? It had killed so many powerful beings between heaven and earth, and any one of them surviving to this day would be invincible in the desolate regions.
A nine-headed serpent roared, its massive body stretching for unknown miles, with its crimson tongue flicking. The foul stench was overwhelming, its terrifying aura making one shiver.
A long cry echoed as a demonic bird blotted out the sky, knocking down stars and diving downwards, also heading towards Shi Hao.
A suanni, surrounded by electric light, stamped down on an ancient mountain, terrifyingly powerful, gazing at Shi Hao.
Shi Hao was shocked. Although these were phantoms, they were vividly lifelike, even the aura penetrating through from the ancient era.
These were all powerful beings slain by the Kunpeng, and there were so many of them. The deeper he went, the more his scalp tingled, his soul chilling, overwhelmed with tension.
What an era it must have been for so many supreme beings to perish. It was truly a time of fierce battles, shaking the heavens and the earth.
The Demon Abyss was a burial ground. It was said that the enemies captured by the Kunpeng were suppressed here, along with the remnants of its consumed food.
Ultimately, these beings were refined by the Kunpeng, and all divine bones and materials were turned into top-quality materials, taken away by it to forge weapons.
Some even said that its "Heavenly Desolation" was forged from the divine bones of countless races, making it indestructible and infused with the strongest runes from various races, with unparalleled material.
As Shi Hao continued deeper, he became almost numb, deeply feeling the Kunpeng's strength. Along the way, ghost fires flickered, various divine birds and ferocious beasts wailed, and the ground was covered in white powder.
He knew this was bone powder, remnants of the supreme beings' divine bones left after being refined by the ancient Kunpeng, having had all their runes and divine power extracted.
Perhaps only a supreme being like the Kunpeng could forcibly take others' original runes.
Finally, in the dim and gloomy cave, even deities emerged, and demons roared with unwillingness but could do nothing.
The white bone powder on the ground recorded the glory and brutality of that time. The ancient era was indeed cruel; even beings as powerful as these were not immune to perishing.
From time to time, runes lit up along the way, their pressure enough to crush everything, capable of causing a venerable being's death.
Shi Hao walked the Kunpeng's path, and the runes he had obtained earlier played a subtle role, allowing him to remain safe throughout, not being subdued.
Eventually, Shi Hao reached the end of the Demon Abyss. Here, there were no more sounds of the nine-headed serpent, bi'an, gods, or demons, only silence.
A pair of stone doors blocked his path. With a gentle push, they opened directly, offering no obstruction to Shi Hao. However, he could see dense runes flickering but they did not kill him.
The atmosphere here was entirely different; there was no darkness or hellish aura. Instead, it was a brilliant world, radiant with a sacred aura.
As soon as Shi Hao entered, he felt a pressure that nearly tore him apart. His already tattered body shook violently, bones cracking, and blood flowing.
It was a grand stone chamber with a blood pool in the center, glowing red and brilliant, blazing like the sun, resembling a pile of blood diamonds.
Occasionally, golden rays shot from the blood pool, and black light spread, these were runes so powerful they made the very heavens tremble, fearsome beyond measure.
"Kunpeng Runes"
Shi Hao was astonished. Upon seeing it, he knew it was the legendary supreme treasure technique. He had seen a third of the inheritance before, and the sensation was very familiar.
Finally, he adapted to the pressure here.
With a swish, thousands of symbols surged from the blood pool, half golden light tearing through the void, half black light like an abyss, arranged together.
Then, all the symbols took shape, clanging and cold like metal, quickly assembling into a Kunpeng.
This was an ancient supreme bird formed from symbols, appearing lifelike, looking down on the gods, suppressing the ancient world with utmost majesty.
"So this is the Kunpeng inheritance," Shi Hao was shocked. All the runes of that treasure technique were refined and hidden in this blood pool, ready to be reappeared and reassembled in critical moments.
With a swish, the sound was textured as all the symbols reassembled, merging into the radiant blood pool, turning into a black giant fish, floating and sinking, its aura astonishing.
For a moment, Shi Hao was stunned. This was the truly flawless divine power. He stood there, absorbing the changes, constantly evolving and mimicking, as if a moment had passed like a thousand years.
He stood in front of the blood pool, momentarily lost, like being petrified. Shi Hao fell into a deep state of comprehension, sensing the various changes.
It was not until a long time later, with a soft "buzz," that the thousands of runes flew out again, awakening him.
One symbol after another danced here, turning into light rain, into a Kunpeng bird, into a giant fish, soaring and undulating in the void, the laws fully displayed.
At this moment, the heavens and the earth rumbled, and the sounds of the Dao were continuous, as if the universe were being created anew. In this stone chamber, strands of chaotic energy appeared, all arising because of this supreme divine power.
It contained the secrets of the heavens, and as it circulated, stars began to fall, and massive planets emerged, revolving around the Kunpeng, rumbling and emitting a thunderous sound.
The scene was overwhelmingly shocking, as if a supreme being stood in the universe, with the four poles of the heavens and the vast cosmos all revolving around it, created by its presence.
In the Kunpeng's eyes, endless epochs flowed by, and in a single glance, the world changed, from the sea turning into mulberry fields to countless generations passing by.
Looking again, in the Kunpeng's pupils, the sun and moon fell, great stars collapsed, the galaxy shattered, the heavens and earth reopened, and chaos disintegrated, all beyond compare.
Shi Hao was truly stunned. This was the Kunpeng? It was indeed worthy of being one of the Ten Ancient Fiends. This treasure technique was extraordinarily powerful, containing the profound mysteries of the heavens, incredibly complex.
Shi Hao was a martial fanatic; once he began his cultivation, he would forget everything. He had been this way when he first comprehended the original truth, to the point of vomiting blood and being unaware of falling into a lake.
Now he was once again absorbed, his mind and will lost in the void, immersed in those runes, absorbing the boundless mysteries and exploring the ultimate method.
His brow glowed, and the bones of his forehead became translucent, like a divine lamp. Strands of light shone through, reflecting in the void, merging with the runes.
In the end, his entire body radiated light, and golden vortices appeared, as if divine beings from beyond the realm descended, quickly shrinking and sitting on his surface, chanting scriptures in those golden vortices.
For a moment, the chanting sounded like thunder, vast and mighty, shaking the universe.
The Kunpeng's runes descended, merging with his body, allowing for better comprehension and experience.
Finally, a sound of Dao emanated, as if a lightning bolt had struck the heavens and the earth. The Kunpeng in the void exploded completely, transforming into endless runes that surged towards Shi Hao, reassembling on his body.
The golden light was dazzling, incredibly bright, and then black light reappeared, interspersed within the gold, forming patterns.
This was a marvelous transformation, with the Kunpeng's inheritance fully revealed, without any omission. It was not reflected in the void but transformed into tangible symbols, all falling onto Shi Hao's body.
Anyone who saw this would surely be astonished.
At this moment, Shi Hao seemed to transform into a Kunpeng, preparing to spread his wings and soar into the outer realms, merging into the vast universe.
Endless symbols gathered, integrating with him, reassembling on his exterior, flashing with the most brilliant light, forming a Dao body.
Shi Hao remained unchanged, still in human form, but the golden symbols and black light descended, condensing on his exterior like a layer of divine armor.
At this moment, a supreme aura permeated, pressuring the nine heavens.
Today, there
