The golden bell, radiant with brilliance and engraved with symbols, emitted a resonant chime that transformed into a chanting sound. The golden ripples spread outward.
In the distance, many of the fence rails on the sky battlefield were shattered, severed by the bell's waves, but Shi Hao remained steadfast in front of the bell.
"Clang!"
He struck the bell repeatedly with powerful punches, causing the ground to tremble and the bell to roar in unison.
"Eh? There's a change."
People were astonished, their eyes wide as they watched the scene.
The symbols on the bell, densely packed, transformed into tangible scriptures that fell down like a cassock, enveloping Shi Hao. The sound of the scriptures was deafening.
"Boom!"
Shi Hao struggled to break free, continuously forming seals to shake them off.
The scene was somewhat mystical; the golden symbols fell off, forming a divine garment that enveloped Shi Hao, trying to seal him within.
Shi Hao’s entire body was emitting flames—his own Dao fire and the Vermilion Bird fire blazed fiercely, burning the divine garment of symbols and engulfing him.
"Adam!"
An inexplicable chanting sound emerged as the bell released countless threads. The ancient symbols flickered on the bell's surface before flying toward Shi Hao.
"What’s happening? I really hear the chanting, as if the gods are singing," Fire Spirit said with concern.
In mid-air, the scriptures, like ripples, continuously fell from the bell, forming golden symbols that enveloped Shi Hao, binding him.
Eventually, the sound of the scriptures became louder than thunder, and the symbols blazed brightly, drowning the world in golden light, burying Shi Hao’s entire body.
"This is to refine a god into a Dao weapon, to use as a weapon soul," a venerable one sighed.
People were shocked; Shi Yi, so young, understood so much. To transform Shi Hao into a weapon soul was beyond what one of his age should be involved in.
Shi Hao snorted coldly, his aura changing drastically. The divine radiance within his body turned into a divine furnace. Small, crystal-like furnaces moved within his flesh, and his entire being seemed to transform into an eternal divine furnace.
At this moment, regardless of the Dao weapon's fluctuations, it was difficult to harm him. Instead, this physical furnace began to glow, drawing external power to transform the symbols into Dao fire, refining himself.
"Eh, such a bizarre change. Little Stone is defying the heavens. He’s turning the symbols into a furnace, something even few kings and marquises can do," people marveled. The duel was indeed full of extraordinary phenomena, with both combatants being prodigies showing incredible feats.
"Clang!"
Finally, Shi Hao soared into the sky, transforming into a sword—a peerless celestial sword, its edge sharp and piercing through the clouds, slashing through the divine garment formed by the symbols.
"Clang!"
Moreover, he struck the golden bell with his sword, causing a tremendous shock. To everyone's astonishment, Shi Hao’s body became a sword, fiercely slashing at the bell.
After dozens of strikes, both the bell and Shi Hao’s radiance dimmed. The bell trembled, and Shi Hao also revealed his true form, using his fists to clash with the bell.
"Crack!"
Finally, golden cracks appeared, and the bell emitted a brittle sound before rapidly fracturing.
"What? The bell is broken! Yi’er’s Dao weapon is going to be destroyed!" Many at Demon Spirit Lake had grim expressions, all enraged.
Others held their breath. Was this battle coming to an end? Everyone clenched their fists, nervously watching.
"Boom!"
With Shi Hao’s final punch, the bell shattered into dozens or even hundreds of fragments, flying in all directions. Among them, a figure was ejected, spitting blood.
"Yi’er!"
Someone cried out loudly.
"Shi Yi is heavily injured and about to lose," the scene erupted in commotion. Many felt the battle was coming to an end.
The world was incredibly noisy, chaotic beyond measure.
Suddenly, a blazing golden light shot out, attacking Shi Hao with incredible speed, beyond everyone’s expectations.
Just as the Dao bell shattered and the figure spewed blood, everyone thought Shi Yi was seriously injured and that the battle might end, this shocking turn of events occurred.
It was a golden crow, nurtured within the Dao bell. The bell’s body was like a golden divine egg, nourishing it until the bell shattered, and then it emerged with a fierce attack.
Upon closer inspection, the figure that had flown out was merely an illusion; the so-called blood-spitting was false.
"Dao Weapon Transformation Technique!" someone exclaimed. Such a technique was difficult for even kings and marquises to master, yet it was manifested by a young man.
All the previous methods and attacks were mere disguises, preparing for this final, deadly strike.
The Dao bell was merely a vessel, containing the golden crow, which was a technique for nurturing treasures, only revealing itself at the last moment.
Shi Hao had expended more than half of his divine power to destroy the golden sun, resulting in the creation of the bell. After shattering the Dao bell, the true golden crow technique emerged.
All of this was too sudden. As he had used up most of his strength to destroy his opponent's Dao weapon, he hadn’t expected this was just the beginning, with a fatal calamity arriving.
Shi Hao's heart raced. Even someone as powerful as he was caught off guard. At the moment the golden crow attacked, he avoided the fatal blow to his head but was hit on the shoulder, with a large amount of blood spewing out. The sharp claws nearly tore off his shoulder armor, leaving deep wounds that exposed his bones.
He retreated at high speed, but the golden crow, relentless, took the upper hand, almost pressing against him. It pecked downward toward his eyes.
"Bang!"
He crossed his arms to block the golden beak, feeling intense pain in his left arm, as if it had broken. A large chunk of flesh was torn away, revealing the bone underneath.
This was due to his strong physique; otherwise, anyone else would have been pulverized, even a pure-blooded being would have broken bones.
"Whoosh!"
The gusting wind and the golden crow’s wings beat down with immense speed, making it impossible to dodge. The attack was relentless.
"Pfft!"
Shi Hao was struck in the chest and abdomen, coughing up blood as his body was flung away. During this process, he glared fiercely and spat out symbols to retaliate.
"Boom!"
The golden crow transformed, revealing Shi Yi’s true form. With a stomp, one foot landed on Shi Hao’s chest, accelerating his flying body toward the fence rails.
With a cracking sound, Shi Hao crashed through a section of the light golden railings, and the sky battlefield was left in ruins.
Everyone was stunned. The series of lethal attacks was horrifying. All previous methods had been a cover-up for this result.
Shi Yi charged fiercely, aiming to deliver the most crucial blow to Shi Hao.
As Shi Hao’s cold gaze fixed on him approaching, he silently prepared to activate the Ten Great Cave Heavens, intending to launch a sudden attack to temporarily immobilize him and then deliver a fatal strike.
He believed that at this critical moment of victory, Shi Yi would most likely lower his guard upon getting close.
However, Shi Yi did not advance but suddenly retreated, abandoning the final attack.
"Brother, come again. I’ll give you a chance," Shi Yi said. He had been deeply perturbed, especially with his heavy eyes feeling pain, sensing something bad was about to happen, so he decisively fell back.
Shi Hao silently dispersed his divine power, not displaying any divine might. He stood up from the broken railings, his expression cold. "Stop wasting time."
He was truly furious. At this moment, his chest was in excruciating pain, and having sustained a serious injury, he admitted that this "brother" was formidable and a tough opponent, causing him great loss.
Shi Yi was also solemn; even pure-blooded beings would have been shattered by his blows, especially the last kick, which could have shattered an indestructible body. He hadn’t expected that this younger cousin would not die.
"Young ones are indeed formidable," Shi Huang sighed from the war chariot.
Other venerables were also moved, their expressions complex. They reflected that in their youth, they would have certainly been no match for these two, living up to the title of youthful supreme.
Regardless of the outcome of this battle, the names of the two Shi would reverberate throughout the wasteland and be recorded in history.
In the next moment, the two charged at each other again. With a thunderous boom, massive stars appeared in the void, and Shi Hao stood among them as if he had entered a cosmic starry sky.
"Eh, what’s happening?" People were astonished.
In the sky battlefield, Shi Hao stood in the midst of it all. In the void, countless massive stars had already merged, resembling a brilliant starry sky, with dazzling light.
He advanced like a divine king, pushing one massive star after another toward Shi Yi, leaving his opponent nowhere to hide, as it had turned into a cosmic expanse.
"Interesting. This is just a technique of the degenerate, yet he has elevated it to this extent. Even pure-blooded beings who understand this technique would be shocked," said a figure standing far in the sky, with red flames flickering in his eyes. Behind him were several followers, all pure-blooded beings.
Shi Hao had evolved the cosmic star river. Between the great stars, electric sparks crackled, and the sound was incessant. This was the Suan Ni technique, taken to its extreme by him.
All the stars were spherical lightning, forming a sun, moon, and starry river, covering the battlefield. He seemed to be the ruler of this small cosmic space.
"Boom!"
Shi Hao pushed the celestial stars forward, igniting a sea of thunder. The scene was terrifying, and everyone’s eyes widened. This was a final killing blow.
Even the domain master’s face darkened; the sky battlefield was likely to be shattered.
Shi Yi was in trouble. Even though he had his heavy eyes and could see through everything, it was too late. He was already surrounded by massive stars, oppressed by the sun, moon, and starry river.
Thunder erupted like an ocean. Massive stars exploded one after another, filling every inch of space with a destructive aura.
"Heavy Eyes Open Heaven!" He roared, forced to use the supreme power of his heavy eyes.
He created a piece of pure land, a ten-foot area where it was silent and peaceful, with lightning unable to approach. Only his eyes were blazing intensely.
"Impressive," everyone marveled. Was this the power of the heavy eyes? It was truly terrifying.
However, Shi Hao’s attack was not over. The massive stars continued to explode, bombarding the pure land, and the Vermilion Bird appeared, charging into the pure land.
This was also a series of killing moves, not stopping until the enemy was defeated.
Shi Hao used the Ancient Vermilion Bird’s four strikes to forcefully break into the pure land. His hands evolved, releasing a red light that transformed into a small bird the size of a fist, which flew inside.
"Seeking death."
Shi Yi sneered, his eyes flashing. The Vermilion Bird dimmed, about to shatter.
However, with a thunderous boom, the Vermilion Bird changed again, turning from red to black, transforming into a fish about a foot long, swimming in the pure land with incredible speed, like a black lightning bolt.
People were stunned. What was that? It could actually traverse the ten-foot pure land created by the heavy eyes. It was beyond belief, and they could barely see it. Only the two combatants in the battlefield could perceive it, as it moved too quickly.
"Smack!"
The fish, about a foot long, slapped Shi Yi’s chest with its tail, causing him to cough up blood and fly away, accompanied by the sound of bones cracking.
"Kunpeng," Shi Yi gritted his teeth and uttered these two words, audible only to him. He looked at Shi Hao and said, "You have obtained the complete technique."
At this moment, he exited the ten-foot pure land. The massive stars around him exploded, and electric sparks entered his body.
"Good. I need this technique," Shi Yi growled, shaking the heavens and earth, his body glowing as he blocked the electric sparks.
At the same time, Shi Hao moved. Although he didn’t transform into the Kunpeng form, his body glowed, golden with black spots, resembling a human-shaped Kunpeng, and he rapidly closed in.
"I’m giving you the technique." He threw a punch directly at Shi Yi’s forehead, his entire body covered with Kunpeng symbols, exerting terrifying Kunpeng power.
"Whoosh!"
Shi Hao’s eyes widened. His right eye was black, and black beams, like flames, shot out. Upon closer inspection, they were not fire but condensed from ancient symbols.
This eye represented destruction, shooting out a dark light to counter Shi Hao.
Shi Hao moved his body to the side, the dark light grazing his body, causing his ribs to bleed heavily and nearly be split open. It was indeed horrifying.
His punch also struck, shaking the world. Shi Yi dodged with great effort but was still hit on the arm, resulting in a crack and a broken bone.
Shi Hao, moving at high speed and using the Kunpeng’s technique to its utmost, avoided the destructive dark light again, chasing after Shi Yi, and delivered a kick.
"Bang!"
Shi Yi couldn’t dodge in time and used his injured arm to block. Another cracking sound was heard as his arm nearly broke off. The kick landed on his right chest, causing it to fracture and cave in.
His mouth continually coughed, spitting out blood, and he shattered a large piece of the sky battlefield’s foundation.
As the month comes to an end and the Year of the Snake is passing, let’s celebrate the New Year. I wish all my brothers and sisters happiness. Also, don’t forget to cast your final votes this month. Thank you, everyone!
