In the half-empty space, light and rain danced like sparkling petals, making the passageway exceedingly radiant with sacred brilliance. Shi Hao stepped out with great strides.
The Domain Envoy felt his body stiffen. Just moments ago, someone had unexpectedly poked him on the backside, an affront he could scarcely believe given his high status, making the hair on his body stand on end.
The exit of the passage was too close, just inches away. If the poke had been more severe, the consequences would have been dire.
The Domain Envoy was uneasy, and reflecting on it now, he felt a bit frightened. He was a will of the Void God Realm, incredibly powerful, yet someone had managed to get so close.
He pondered seriously. Perhaps one of the gods who created this mental realm long ago was still alive, but that didn’t seem right. If it were a god, would they need to act like this?
Nearby, many beings were stunned. This fellow was too outrageous. Instead of taking a proper path, he had suddenly created such a passage.
Mist swirled as Shi Hao stepped out of the passage. His eyes were bright as he looked around, striking a narcissistic pose and shouting, "A thunderous roar from the sky, Lord Shi Hao makes a dazzling entrance!"
Everyone was speechless. This guy really knew how to make an entrance.
“Ugh, this little thief has such a thick skin,” the beings from the Demon Spirit Lake grumbled from afar, indignant.
“How did he get here? How could he create a passage in the Void God Realm? It’s astonishing,” others questioned in confusion.
The scene was chaotic. Shi Hao’s unconventional entrance left people both amazed and scornful.
As the twilight receded, the passage disappeared. The Domain Envoy’s face darkened as he stared at Shi Hao for a long time before asking, “Why didn’t you take the proper path?”
“The proper path is always straight and correct. I’ve been following the proper path. As for this time, I had no other choice. This place was submerged by the sea of people, and I couldn’t get in any other way,” Shi Hao replied.
The Domain Envoy’s face showed no hint of a smile. He wanted to question who had sent the youth in, but with so many people present, he refrained from pressing the issue.
In the distance, powerful beings like the Fire Emperor and Stone Emperor felt a chill in their hearts. They watched the vanished passage for a long time, feeling unsettled.
“Brother, you’ve finally arrived. I’ve been waiting for you. Let the battle begin,” Shi Yi said, standing there with his clothes fluttering and black hair flowing, his eyes emitting a strange light.
Everyone’s hearts tightened. They knew that the real decisive battle was about to begin. All the waiting had been for this moment—to witness who was weaker and who was stronger.
“You little pest, you have tested the patience of my Demon Spirit Lake time and again. Today, it will all come to an end. Let’s see how long you can remain arrogant,” a giant spider in the distance seethed with hatred.
Shi Hao had first killed a Black-eyed Demon Spider in the Stone Nation’s imperial capital, and then destroyed their mountain gate and several palaces in the Void God Realm, which filled them with intense anger.
Shi Hao cast a cold glance, completely ignoring them. That look was full of disdain, as if to say, "If you’re not satisfied, come and fight." It was a blatant display of contempt.
This look was humiliating and disrespectful. Ignoring the speaking Demon Spider in front of everyone made it turn pale with embarrassment.
“Rise!”
The Domain Envoy commanded, leading Shi Hao and Shi Yi up into the sky, then stepping onto a golden passage. Lotus flowers fell on both sides of the road, and sweet springs flowed, exuding an unmatched holiness.
This golden road led directly to the heavens, mysterious and sacred, making everyone yearn for it. It was evidently the path to the sky battlefield.
With a whoosh, the sound of breaking through the air was heard. Many people rode on magical tools, flying towards the sky. They were powerful cultivators from various major sects.
This was a golden road, like a path to the divine realm. Shi Hao was very curious, following the Domain Envoy, looking left and right, and occasionally running to the side of the road to pick a lotus flower. This made the Domain Envoy frown. He was beginning to doubt if this guy was really here for the final battle. How could he be so relaxed and carefree?
“Brother, you still haven’t grown up; you’re still a child,” Shi Yi said with a faint smile.
The Domain Envoy said nothing. The two brothers were indeed extraordinary; one was a genuine troublemaker, while the other was unsettlingly mature.
“You’re worrying about things that don’t concern you. Look over there, isn’t there a bird you should take care of?” Shi Hao pointed to the distance, where two old men were hiding in the crowd, sneaking around.
It was Lord Jingbi and Bird Lord. On Bird Lord’s shoulder stood a bird, which was very discordant, angrily squawking, “Mind your own business!”
Everyone was speechless. That troublesome bird. Bird Lord quickly reprimanded it, telling it not to speak out of turn.
Shi Hao and the others walked on the golden road as if ascending to the heavens, entering a mysterious area surrounded by swirling mist and gusts of wind.
Those who followed could not ascend the golden road because it was not meant for them. They had to rely on their magical tools to fly, but it became increasingly difficult, with great resistance.
“Not everyone has the qualification to watch the battle,” the Domain Envoy said dismissively.
As a result, at least half of the people gave up, unable to fly further. The oppressive force of the heavens made it hard for them to breathe.
This was an ancient, mysterious place. The golden road brought Shi Hao and Shi Yi to the outer sky, appearing in a place of ancient ruins.
Aside from the mist, there were crumbling structures floating in the void, grand and solemn. Even in their ruined state, they gave off an austere feeling.
“We have arrived. That’s one of the sky battlefields.”
People were astonished. A battlefield suspended in the void, towering above the clouds, was huge enough for a duel between two people.
It was seen to be a pale golden color, as if forged from divine metal, inscribed with many order runes. The golden stone arena looked solemn and majestic.
“The long-sealed sky battlefield is finally opening again. It’s exciting. I hope the day of the grand clash of the region’s champions comes soon.”
In the distance, amidst the mist, a ball of divine flame flickered. A young man, full of arrogance, gazed at the divine arena with eyes glowing red like they could burn through the heavens and stars.
Behind him were several pure-blooded beings, all powerful, standing quietly.
“This place isn’t grand enough. It’s not as huge as described in the ancient texts,” a witch said softly from another direction. Her beautiful and enchanting eyes sparkled with astonishing light.
Next to her stood a middle-aged man, transcending the ordinary, like an immortal. “The grandeur of the divine arena is related to the cultivation level of the duelists.”
With a flash of light, Shi Yi and Shi Hao nearly simultaneously arrived at the sky battlefield. The two stood far apart, facing each other. In an instant, the once-sealed battlefield was filled with a murderous atmosphere.
The pale golden battlefield, with its massive foundation and grand enclosure, was covered in ancient and majestic symbols to prevent the aftermath of the battle from spilling out.
“Who do you think will win? How will it end?” This was the question on many minds. They had been discussing it for days, but a result was imminent.
“I think the one with the double pupils has an 80% chance of winning. After all, he is powerful and well-balanced in all aspects. On the other hand, Shi Hao, though impressive, has lost the Supreme Bone and lacks the unique foundation.”
This was the consensus among many. People believed Shi Hao’s innate disadvantages put him at a severe disadvantage.
“Not necessarily. Although Shi Hao lost his original true bone and his body was depleted, he should have died, but he survived and became a young supreme. Since he has already created miracles, I believe he will perform astonishingly again this time, with a significant chance of winning,” some people opposed the idea and favored Shi Hao.
There was much discussion and analysis among the people. Based on the known information, they believed Shi Yi had a winning probability of about 70-80% because he was indeed impressive, with perfect innate conditions.
On the battlefield, two figures turned into beams of light, like two comets colliding, emitting blinding radiance and thunderous sounds.
“Boom!”
It wasn’t a typical duel but rather a clash of two ancient divine mountains, causing the heavens and earth to roar. The waves were extremely violent and awe-inspiring.
For a moment, smoke and mist billowed, and divine light surged, vast as an ocean. The collision of divine power was so terrifying, it seemed almost beyond human strength.
After a while, calm returned. The various lights disappeared, leaving only two figures standing at a distance from each other.
People were horrified. The power displayed earlier was chilling, and they doubted they could withstand even the first strike if they had been in the arena.
“Brother, in just a month, your physical body has become even more formidable,” Shi Yi’s eyes flickered, showing a hint of annihilative power.
“You’ve used the Golden Body Liquid to bathe your body again,” Shi Hao noted with surprise.
Afterwards, they fell into silence, but many could see their momentum was rising, becoming increasingly terrifying. Shi Hao’s clothes fluttered, resembling a deity awakening.
On the other side, Shi Yi was similarly imposing. His pores opened, emitting divine radiance, as if divine flames were swirling around him, merging with the heavens and earth, harnessing the cosmic forces.
“Yi’er, don’t hold back. Quickly kill him,” a golden spider in the distance muttered to itself.
Nearby, several elders, clearly well-acquainted with the Demon Spirit Lake, said, “Brother Golden Spider, we received your invitation. After this battle ends, we will definitely attend the banquet and celebrate.”
“It should be a grand event. The youth named Shi Yi is destined to rise and deserves the title of unparalleled,” another elder nodded in agreement.
“Boom!”
Shi Yi’s palm turned purple, emitting smoke and mist as if purple energy was rising from the east, carrying an overwhelming aura. He struck forward with terrifying force.
At this moment, his divine might was formidable and unstoppable. Not only was the sky battlefield affected, but even the people outside trembled, sensing a chilling aura.
“What kind of treasure technique is this? It’s so powerful!”
With a whoosh, almost simultaneously, large crimson clouds rose around Shi Hao. He erupted with unparalleled divine power, as if reborn from flames, creating massive waves of energy.
He raised his right hand and pressed forward. His palm was red, revealing an ancient symbol that glowed with astonishing firelight.
