He knew very well that this was just the beginning. Once he entered the Realm of Inscriptions, he would have even more to attempt, and these would be far more significant.
It had been more than ten days since he entered this ancient hall. Shi Hao had broken through to the Extreme Realm and now glowed with radiance, resembling a large furnace, much stronger than before.
Having reached the perfect stage of Spirit Transformation, he finally made a breakthrough and took that terrifying step, achieving true sublimation. He had become immensely powerful.
Shi Hao looked up, observing the hall that was now covered in cracks, on the verge of collapse. It had already been holding up for more than ten days, which was quite rare, considering it had only been a few days in the past.
He pushed open the great door and walked out. The hall collapsed behind him with a rumbling noise.
At this moment, he was ready to break through to the Realm of Inscriptions, but there was no time left. The hall would turn into ruins, and he needed to find a suitable place to continue his cultivation.
Here, a day's worth of effort equaled several days outside, and the rare materials used to build such a hall were immense. Ordinary forces wouldn’t even think of it; they simply could not afford it.
The world was balanced. Although he had gained precious cultivation time, he would have to destroy countless heavenly and earthly treasures, making it somewhat a pyrrhic victory.
Lava surged forward, glowing red. Shi Hao spread a layer of light to shield himself and pierced through the lava lake. He soared into the air and emerged from below.
"He's out!" someone called out. There were cultivators waiting outside.
"Whoosh"
A streak of golden light flew towards him—a blinding golden arrow. Someone was waiting here to attack him.
Shi Hao dodged, and his gaze flashed. He saw the golden-haired youth standing in the distance, holding a large bow and surrounded by golden light.
“You truly are relentless. Not only did you attack me earlier, but now you dare to come again,” Shi Hao said softly, calmly watching him.
“You killed my two servants. Do you think this matter is over?” The golden-haired youth’s voice was not loud, but it carried a terrifying coldness.
He was tall and strikingly handsome, with a pair of golden thunder wings surrounded by large flashes of lightning, crackling loudly. His presence was fiery, as if a deity had descended.
“You should know that they were the ones who provoked me first,” Shi Hao said.
“I know, but so what? Those who kill my people must die, regardless of the reason. Only I can kill my servants—who do you think you are?” The golden-haired youth spoke lightly, his eyes also golden and unusually eerie.
His words were not loud, but they carried authority, and his arrogance was evident, as if he were a god surveying the world.
“Such arrogance. Do you treat this place as your home? No one outside will cater to you,” Shi Hao said, his anger rising.
“If it were in our domain, I would indeed hesitate, but in the Wild Domain, ha, what does it matter?” The golden-haired youth scoffed coldly.
Many figures appeared on the horizon. People had long known that the golden-haired youth was waiting here to confront those who entered the divine hall. They had seen him lingering here these days.
When the fluctuations erupted here, everyone was alerted and hurried to witness the battle.
“Young Master, hurry up and kill him. We still need to enter the depths of the Fire Clan's ancestral land and shouldn’t miss other great opportunities.” Behind the golden-haired youth, several servants, all with strong auras and piercing eyes, urged him.
“Alright, we’ve wasted quite a bit of time. After killing him, we’ll set off,” the golden-haired youth said, as if discussing a trivial matter.
He switched to a different bow, its body dark and without any luster, gray-brown in color, the material unknown. He gently plucked it, producing a metallic sound.
He nocked an arrow on the bow and drew it slightly. Immediately, a mysterious aura filled the air, followed by the roar of a dragon.
“Hiss”
Everyone gasped, their eyes fixed on the large bow. The sight was too shocking. The glistening bowstring turned into a dragon, roaring loudly and emitting tremendous divine power.
At the same time, a larger dragon appeared, composed of divine mist, coiling in the void, as large as a mountain, guarding the golden-haired youth.
The sight was truly astonishing.
Everyone understood that the bowstring must have a significant origin, likely a dragon’s sinew, hence its imposing aura. Otherwise, how could it be so powerful?
Shi Hao's expression turned serious. He was radiant, glowing with morning light, and focused intently, preparing for the upcoming battle.
The bowstring was drawn back, forming a crescent moon shape. The aura became even more intense, and the roar of a dragon and tiger filled the air, with a giant dragon soaring and looking down.
“Whoosh”
A brilliant golden light flew, breaking through the speed limit, with a divine might that was unassailable.
Shi Hao’s expression changed. The power of this arrow was immense, and the opponent's bow and arrow were definitely a formidable weapon. Initially, he did not confront it head-on but instead moved aside to avoid it.
With a loud explosion, the golden light shot past, creating a violent wind and flying sand, cracking the ground and causing waves to rise in the lava lake.
The power of this arrow was enormous, and it was a fearsome magical artifact.
On the horizon, a low mound shattered. The arrow’s force had blown it apart. But it did not stop there; the golden divine light flew back, aiming at Shi Hao, continuing its path with undiminished power.
Shi Hao roared, releasing divine mist from his mouth, forming a light shield to block the arrow.
“Boom”
The light shield cracked. The arrow’s power was terrifying. As it approached, Shi Hao's hands shook, summoning a lion-like creature as tall as a mountain, which bit down on the arrow.
“Boom”
A massive explosion occurred in the area. Lightning surged upwards, and the purple lion shattered into endless lightning.
The arrow finally dimmed, disappearing into the void, turning into specks of light rain.
In the distance, everyone was stunned. The power of this arrow was too great. Drawing the bowstring and shooting an arrow was equivalent to a great divine power, breaking the lion’s magical technique.
Shi Hao’s expression was grave as he stood his ground, watching the golden-haired youth. This was a formidable opponent.
He did not underestimate the situation. Encountering such an enemy right after emerging from seclusion was bound to lead to a fierce battle. This was not a cultivator of the Spirit Transformation Realm but a master of the Realm of Inscriptions.
“Interesting. You’re quite impressive, but still far from enough. This arrow has only exerted less than one-tenth of its divine power. Can you withstand it?” The golden-haired youth smirked, with a hint of mockery.
His words reverberated across the sky, causing shock. How strong must this youth be? Was he exaggerating, or did he really possess such combat power?
“If you have the ability, come and kill me. If not, prepare to be slaughtered,” Shi Hao responded calmly, remaining composed.
“Layering divine power, enhancing it further,” the golden-haired youth did not rush to use his full strength, seeming to mock, as he drew his bow again. The dragon’s roar resonated through the heavens.
A golden divine light shot forth, howling, whipping up a fierce wind, and accompanied by endless lightning, engulfing the sky. This was a manifestation of his divine power.
This arrow contained lightning attribute divine power, much stronger than before.
Everyone’s expressions changed. A typical Spirit Transformation cultivator would definitely be blasted apart by this arrow. Even from a distance, the fluctuation was terrifying, making one’s mind tremble. How could one resist up close?
The arrow did not resemble an ordinary shaft but rather a real dragon, roaring towards a human youth.
“Open!”
Shi Hao roared, and divine light burst from his fists. This was the Lightning Fist, transforming the lion-like creature into his palm and fingers, without showing the fierce beast, only the most essential runic principles.
Mist dispersed, revealing a primal symbol on his fist, replacing the purple lion. This was the most fundamental element in the world.
The symbol rotated, blocking the golden arrow, and then emitted intense light, with a mix of purple and faint gold, fighting back with all its might.
"Crack"
Finally, the arrow was shattered, exploding in mid-air into a wave of lightning and divine power, dazzling with golden light, engulfing heaven and earth.
Shi Hao remained unmoved, not retreating, and once again destroyed this arrow.
At last, the golden-haired youth’s expression changed. It was one thing for the opponent to withstand the first arrow, but now the second arrow had also been broken, which was quite unusual.
“Are you still at the Spirit Transformation Realm?” he questioned, puzzled.
“Yes, and I still have strength left. Feel free to continue,” Shi Hao said coldly.
The golden-haired youth was shaken. He had already entered the Realm of Inscriptions, and the opponent, at the Spirit Transformation Realm, had withstood his attack, which was quite extraordinary and showed exceptional talent.
“Don’t be hasty. There are more arrows to come. Enjoy them, and we’ll see how long you can hold out,” the golden-haired youth returned to his cold demeanor, his gaze becoming even more eerie.
“Buzz”
The bowstring quivered lightly as the third arrow was released. He shouted loudly, causing divine power to shake this ancient land. His aura surged violently, using an extremely powerful force.
This was a terrifying strike from a Realm of Inscriptions expert. Although he was mocking, this arrow was clearly different, with its power increased significantly, much more terrifying than before.
Shi Hao’s expression changed. His whole body was radiant, with divine light surging, transforming into one small bell after another. At this moment, he was completely different, his entire body glowing and emitting the sound of large bells.
This was a new path he had comprehended, allowing him to break through to the Extreme Realm of Spirit Transformation, shattering legends.
Now, every strand of divine light within him transformed into a small bell, forming bone inscriptions, flowing within his flesh. Altogether, he seemed to become a golden Dao bell.
“What is this?”
The golden-haired youth was astonished. The opponent’s display exceeded his expectations, with an aura of terrifying Dao rhythm, making even a Realm of Inscriptions cultivator feel uneasy.
What kind of power was this?
“Dong”
The great bell roared, emitting boundless light. It could be said that Shi Hao’s body roared, sending out endless ripples, like a divine bell spreading golden ripples, blocking the arrow.
Ultimately, the arrow, starting from its tip, was resisted in front of Shi Hao, breaking into pieces inch by inch, and then exploding into powder.
Everyone’s expressions changed. Shi Hao, at the Spirit Transformation Realm, was fighting against an external genius of the Realm of Inscriptions with such dominance, shocking everyone.
With a swish, a flash of golden light appeared. The great bell reverberated, its sound traveling for miles. Shi Hao’s physical body, resembling a golden Dao bell, vanished from its original spot and appeared in front of the golden-haired youth.
“Try my strength too.”
His cold voice rang out. His aura had changed; the golden bell disappeared, and the divine light within him transformed into numerous small swords. The bone inscriptions circulated, changing his entire demeanor.
At this moment, he was sharp and fierce, like a celestial sword cutting through the air, his dazzling divine light slicing through eternity.
The golden-haired youth, incredibly powerful and well-known beyond the domain, was taken aback. He quickly dodged, but the strike still grazed him.
Golden hair flew everywhere, blood dripping from his head. A small piece of his scalp was shaved off, blood flowing profusely, making his handsome face look both demonic and sinister.
