Chapter 304: The Rain Path Through Nine Heavens

Some people’s eyes were red, their breathing heavy, their bodies tense, and their hair standing on end, consumed by extreme rage.

They were all too familiar with that face. It was that troublesome kid whom they loathed deeply. They had crossed paths many times, and they wished nothing more than to kill him immediately.

At Hundred Breaks Mountain, they had a major clash, where almost all the talented individuals sent by the Rain Clan were eliminated, and even the Sealers were completely wiped out.

Later, during the conflict in the Void God Realm, they suffered even greater losses. The entire sacred land was leveled, and their foundation was uprooted. The commotion was massive, capturing the attention of the entire world.

The Void God Realm was in turmoil because of this, with many great powers watching from afar. It caused an enormous uproar, and they suffered a crushing defeat, with their sacred land being wiped out.

When enemies meet, the Rain Clan people were filled with hatred.

“I will peel your skin and extract your bones!” Many people panted heavily, their chests heaving violently, ready to exact revenge. This youth had made them hate him to the core.

“When you hate me, you should also think about what you have done. It was clearly you who wanted to eliminate me first.” Similarly, Shi Hao’s eyes were also red. He harbored no good feelings toward this clan.

He had reason to believe that the black shadow who dug out his supreme bone in that ancient palace was summoned by Shi Yi’s mother from the Rain Clan. This thought tightened his body every time he recalled it.

Not to mention, this clan had hunted Shi Ziling all the way to the Western Wilderness, intending to cleanse the Wu King’s Mansion and eliminate the Fifteenth Lord. Their record was disgraceful.

The enmity from the Battle of the Celestial Pavilion was even more unforgettable. The Rain Clan’s disciples cultivated in that ancient sacred land, showing no gratitude. At a critical moment, this clan added insult to injury by ambushing the elders of the Celestial Pavilion and Shi Hao’s senior brothers and sisters, all for the sake of acquiring various secret techniques and treasures.

Thinking of that battle, Shi Hao’s eyes reddened. He had watched several esteemed elders die in battle and his senior brothers and sisters killed while holding the rear. To this day, he struggled to calm his emotions.

“No wonder, no wonder it’s you. Today, I must kill you,” someone from the Rain Clan shouted. A group of people had already prepared and collectively performed a treasure technique, merging their efforts.

“Rain Path Through Nine Heavens!” The crowd shouted, and everyone began to glow. Endless runes appeared, with water flowers blooming one after another. The world was shrouded in a rain curtain, crystal clear and torrential.

“Likewise, I have no good feelings toward you. I’ll subdue you all,” Shi Hao declared. But he had already calmed down, no longer as unsettled as before.

On the street, people were skeptical because the words exchanged between the two sides were startling. However, the Rain Clan was so enraged that they did not reveal Shi Hao’s true identity.

Moreover, as Shi Hao turned his back to the street, his true form was revealed, but then his entire body was once again enveloped in dark light. Those behind could not see, and everyone was eager to know who he really was.

With a thunderous roar, a massive wave surged, turning the area into a swamp. The collapsed palaces were submerged, and rubble was nowhere to be seen.

Rain Path Through Nine Heavens was a grand divine ability that was difficult for a single person to perform. It required many people working together, combining their strength. Its power was astonishing and awe-inspiring.

There was even a legend that the final strike of Rain Path Through Nine Heavens was a forbidden divine ability involving gods.

The light screen was dazzling, and a gigantic lotus bloomed, serving both as defense and attack. It enveloped the Rain Clan members, and when the petals opened, a force of new life burst forth, shattering the sky and attacking Shi Hao.

This was the power of water, vast and mighty.

The troublemaker’s expression changed. With so many people using such a powerful treasure technique, it was beyond his expectations. He could not dodge and had to face it head-on because all directions were sealed off.

He let out a long howl, his body glowing, with runes densely covering him. A golden vortex appeared, which was the Kunpeng Treasure Technique. He secretly activated it, far surpassing the previous Golden Vortex Ripple Technique.

On his body, golden portals seemed to appear one after another, containing divine beings and shining so brightly that they were blinding.

Since he couldn’t avoid it, he decided to neutralize it, completely refining and absorbing it.

He possessed top-notch treasure techniques, part of the Ten Great Ancient Fiends’ legacy, and had such confidence. Furthermore, as he had reached the perfection of the Spirit Transformation Realm and his physical body had become spiritual, he could already convert others' essence into his own use.

Such overlap and combination made him fearless, directly confronting the grand treasure technique attack, operating the Kunpeng runes frantically.

At this moment, from afar, his black Immortal Golden Body, after merging with him, emitted a faint golden glow, and then his entire body shone like a blazing sun, making it hard to look directly at.

Boom!

The sky trembled, the rain curtain expanded, the lotus bloomed, and the power of water surged incomparably, bringing a life force that struck wildly.

“Boom!”

Shi Hao’s hands moved, creating a brilliant light that pierced through the petals of the giant lotus. However, the incoming divine energy still penetrated without any gaps.

At this moment, his body began to change. The Kunpeng Treasure Technique glowed, devouring everything, absorbing madly, and making him look like a true god.

On his body, countless runes appeared within the vortices, seemingly taking shape, becoming golden little figures sitting cross-legged within.

This sight was astounding and left Shi Hao himself stunned. The Kunpeng Treasure Technique was so powerful, far surpassing the incomplete methods of the past. He was not affected by the impact at all, and his body accumulated a vast amount of divine power.

The first level of Rain Path Through Nine Heavens was thus resolved.

“Reciprocation is only proper,” Shi Hao roared, producing a broken sword that was as black as ink. It was then infused with divine power, buzzing and erupting with a shocking divine lightning that slashed forward.

Just then, the second level of the rain curtain took shape, with an even larger lotus blooming, significantly enhancing the divine might.

The clash of the two forces shook the heavens and earth, rumbling and trembling. The place was almost boiling, with light everywhere.

Shi Hao’s body shook and he was pushed back, leaving a series of terrifying footprints on the ground, with countless black cracks splitting open, showing the enormity of this attack.

On the other side, someone from the Rain Clan screamed in agony. That sword’s might cleaved through the lotus, causing some people to explode into blood mist, leaving a pool of blood and mud.

The frightening part was that the lotus reformed, the third level blooming, protecting the Rain Clan members, with other experts joining in to further enhance it, making it even more brilliant.

Shi Hao’s expression grew serious as he understood the true meaning of Rain Path Through Nine Heavens. The lotus would bloom nine times, each time increasing its power significantly, becoming increasingly formidable. No wonder it was described as Nine Heavens.

Indeed, after the gigantic lotus bloomed for the third time, it covered the sky and the earth. A vast ocean-like divine power crashed down from top to bottom, shaking all directions.

Shi Hao used the broken sword to cleave through many layers of light screens but was still overwhelmed.

At this moment, the Kunpeng Treasure Technique displayed its might again. The golden runes intertwined, and the vortices crazily devoured, with golden little figures taking shape within the vortices, vividly alive.

“So strong!”

Shi Hao wasn’t amazed by the opponent’s lotus but by the Kunpeng Treasure Technique. It was truly a heaven-defying divine ability, almost omnipotent, giving him a tremendous surprise.

The Rain Clan members were dumbfounded. When the light screens dissipated, they saw that the opponent was unharmed. This was an attack from many strong practitioners working together. Such a grand divine technique couldn’t injure him? Was he perhaps like the Diamond Unbreakable Divine Ability of the Little Western Heaven?

With the fourth level arriving, Shi Hao did not release the absorbed divine energy to counterattack but continued to absorb and integrate it into his own bod

The Rain Clan members were stunned, disbelieving. As the fifth lotus flower bloomed, its divine might became even more astonishing, leaving many powerful forces in the imperial capital in awe.

On Shi Hao's body, the golden vortices rotated. After absorbing these vital energies, the golden figures that emerged grew larger, appearing on the surface of his body and manifesting behind him.

From afar, the divine light was dazzling, and it seemed as if the heavens and earth were resonating with the chants of gods, majestic and grand, sacred and peaceful, deeply moving.

“What’s happening?”

“The gods are manifesting!”

Some exclaimed in shock. There were extraordinary beings who could produce such phenomena when performing divine techniques, but few appeared in an era, and they were rare to find in heaven and earth.

In fact, people did not even consider the Kunpeng Treasure Technique as the cause because such astonishing divine phenomena were extremely mysterious and varied from person to person, beyond full description.

The Rain Clan members’ faces turned pale. At this moment, Shi Hao swung his sword and finally unleashed an attack, colliding with their sixth layer of light screen, causing the heavens and earth to shake violently.

Boom!

The Rain Clan's five layers of courtyards collapsed one after another. Even with the clan's great formations protecting them, it was ineffective. Palaces, temples, towers, and vast courtyards all crumbled.

Shi Hao staggered and continued to retreat. The Rain Clan members coughed up blood and staggered. The only thing they could be thankful for was that the Rain Path Through Nine Heavens still had the strongest three strikes remaining.

“What’s happening?” People were shocked. As the seventh layer of the light screen bloomed, the runes beneath Shi Hao’s feet flickered, forming golden clouds composed of runes. He soared into the air and stood in the void.

“Oh my god, auspicious clouds are manifesting! This is a divine gift. He can travel thousands of miles across the sky with them. For someone of his age to have such precious clouds is unbelievable,” someone shouted.

“How could auspicious clouds appear? It’s truly a miracle!” People were stunned. Even kings and nobles who had attained enlightenment for decades would rarely have such clouds accompany them.

Only Shi Hao knew that these were not true auspicious clouds. They were caused by the Kunpeng Treasure Technique, which had absorbed an immense amount of divine energy, creating a vast quantity of essence that could not be contained within him, spilling out from his feet to form the auspicious cloud.

He tried it out, and this cloud could also carry him at high speed, resembling a Kunpeng’s wing lifting him.

“I don’t believe you can withstand all of this,” an elder from the Rain Clan shouted, leading others in casting spells and jointly activating their treasure technique.

As the eighth lotus flower bloomed, the heavens and earth resonated. A terrifying aura erupted in this area, attracting the attention of all the kings and nobles, who all ascended into the sky to watch.

Boom!

A vast waterfall cascaded down, and the lotus flower bloomed. The enormous, crystal-clear petals flew forth, killing everything, with the power of water everywhere.

Shi Hao endured immense pressure but continued to absorb the vital energy. His body was surrounded by numerous runes, forming weapons like bells, swords, and cauldrons that roared and clanged around him.

Moreover, shadowy figures appeared around him, performing a dance of gods and demons.

At this moment, Shi Hao felt incredibly powerful. Every movement he made seemed capable of destroying the heavens and the earth. The auspicious clouds beneath his feet supported him, allowing him to traverse the void at high speed.

He felt that the essence within his divine body was almost too much to handle. He transformed into a blazing divine light and charged toward the gigantic lotus flower, all the while keeping his gaze fixed on the Rain Clan members.
