Chapter 383: Chaos

The confrontation came suddenly, and the battle was intense. The divine flames surged and twisted the void, as the mysterious man wielded six treasured arts, their radiance dazzling.

According to legend, mastering and simultaneously using six of the ancient Ten Fiends’ treasured arts would create a scene akin to the Six Paths of Reincarnation, a sight beyond words.

No matter how powerful the figure, they would merely become ashes in the face of such a blow, unable to withstand a single strike from the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Unfortunately, it remains a legend, never seen in practice. Even mastering six of the Ten Fiends’ arts, let alone four or five, is as mythical as a fable.

Since ancient times, while various legends have existed, none have been confirmed.

The man in the divine flames was extraordinarily powerful. He could not possibly possess all six fiendish treasures, but was merely guided by a terrifying divine power. Even so, there were six small worlds rotating around him, which was quite formidable.

Even without considering the specifics, the mere form of it was enough to instill awe.

Such a "technique" is not something anyone with treasured arts can easily execute. The fusion of six arts could lead to a massive collapse, causing self-destruction. Even powerful beings like the venerable ones would hesitate to act recklessly.

Yet, he performed it with such mastery, unleashing the supreme mysteries and forcing Moon Chan the Fairy to use the divine sword within her body, invoking the most complex secrets of the Heaven Mending Sect.

Symbols covered the space between them, ancient characters imprinted on the void, glowing like sparkling stars and resonating with a clear, ringing sound.

They had long since moved beyond the sky battlefield, clashing in the heavens because this gray-brown coliseum was not meant for them.

Spectators were stunned. Just after the Stone Battle ended, these two started fighting again, catching everyone by surprise.

What was most terrifying was the fluctuations and the vast, sea-like runes, equally intense and horrifying as the previous battle.

This was only the beginning. If they continued fighting like this, what would it be like later?

“It’s not inferior to the Stone Battle,” a venerable one immediately concluded.

Everyone's attention was riveted, eyes wide with amazement, as the mysterious man was so fierce he even sought to have the Fairy of Heaven Mending Sect constantly by his side.

If this got out, it would undoubtedly cause a stir across the world.

How could someone be so audacious? What was his background? The powerful figures of the wasteland showed astonishment, searching for outsiders to get answers.

Many groups had entered the wasteland, and they were naturally trackable. However, upon inquiry, some shook their heads, saying the person was like a resurrected deity and should not be investigated further.

His origins were shrouded in mystery. Even those from outside the domain didn't know much, only mentioning one thing: he had a penchant for hunting beautiful women and had once abducted a saintess of a renowned sect. Despite being pursued, he grew stronger in battle, rising through blood and fire, dominating the world, and living freely.

People were bewildered, it seemed like a fairy tale, how could such a renowned sect's immaculate saintess be captured, yet he was still living well?

“Some say he is a deity reincarnate, while others claim he is a reborn entity with supreme Dao fruit, which allows him to look down on the world.”

This was a rather far-fetched explanation, but many from outside the domain believed it.

While people speculated and debated, Stone Hao remained calm, sitting on the sky battlefield, quietly healing his wounds. Everything was unrelated to him; he only wanted to recover.

However, the good times didn't last. The two combatants’ battle spread widely, and soon they almost dragged him into the fray.

The domain envoy spoke, “This is not a battlefield prepared for you. If you wish to fight, choose another day.”

To everyone’s surprise, the two did not cease fighting. The chains of order were dense, and sword Qi reached the sky. Even within that divine flame, a grand divine power appeared as a fire pillar, striking towards the domain envoy.

People gasped. Was this person out of his mind? Did he have the courage of a deity?

The domain envoy’s expression darkened. With a flick of his sleeve, he removed the sky battlefield, preventing it from manifesting here.

“Eh, the domain envoy is not angry?” someone wondered.

“The domain envoy is a fragment of the will of the Void God Realm. To be precise, he is the enforcer of this pure land, and cannot unleash divine wrath without reason. Immediate retaliation is unlikely.”

These words surprised people, feeling quite peculiar.

“Hm, why do I feel that the man in the divine flames is doing this intentionally? Is this a provocation?” someone speculated.

At the same time, at the edge of the sky, several pure-blooded beings showed a solemn expression. Their hearts pounded violently, sensing that a major event was about to happen.

They knew this individual and felt that he might cause a catastrophic upheaval. They predicted a super terrifying storm was imminent.

“We need to prepare to retreat. This lord is about to stir up a major commotion and has grand schemes,” one being assessed.

Stone Hao sat on a piece of magical equipment, still healing, occasionally looking around, ready to seize the chance to leave.

However, he noticed that many gazes were fixed on him, every move drawing attention. Clearly, a group of venerable ones had their eyes on him.

All of this was caused by the treasured arts. Besides the bronze treasure book, many had likely recognized the Kunpeng technique, which was enough to drive people to madness and take risks.

Stone Hao contemplated silently, observing repeatedly, and then checked his injuries. He couldn't help but sigh. If conflict broke out, it would be a terrifying bloodbath.

“Boom.”

A blaze of fire descended. A group of cultivators screamed, tumbling through the void. They were scorched by the red fire, and their magical tools immediately cracked, their flesh dried up, and bones shattered.

It was the firelight scattered by the mysterious man, so powerful that any contact meant destruction. Several groups met their doom here.

Stone Hao was alarmed. This person was doing it deliberately, intending to create chaos.

Indeed, even a venerable one was disturbed, as his two descendants were consumed by the flames, filling him with rage.

“Kill!”

Such a figure’s actions naturally led to a greater mess. The treasured arts spread over a vast area, pulling more people into the turmoil.

This was not in the coliseum. Without barriers or runes for protection, once the battle started, the sky was filled with flowing light and treasured arts, easily leading to chaos.

“Boom.”

In the end, several venerable ones were involuntarily involved, either deliberately or accidentally, and began to take action.

Stone Hao tensed, realizing that someone was approaching him, intending to deal with him. This was a bad omen; chaos was about to erupt.

At the same time, the mysterious man stirred the firelight, invoking true fire and attacking Stone Hao, exacerbating the chaos.

“What does he want?” Stone Hao wondered.

He had no time for speculation. Some were stirring the waters to attack him, and a terrifying treasured art fell like a leaden cloud, vast and boundless, enveloping the area.

Stone Hao had to act. Standing on the magical equipment, his body still staggered from injuries, he raised his hand to summon a shield, blocking in front of him.

This was the Xuanwu divine power. His right hand formed a seal, and a giant turtle emerged, creating a light curtain to repel the attacking runes.

“Brothers, if you don’t act now, when will you? Take his life amidst the chaos.” Jin Zhu spoke, using secretive communication to contact the venerable ones of the Ancient Divine Mountain, urging a massacre.

“Jin Zhu, don’t forget we are on the same level here. Engaging him could be perilous.” someone said.

“He is severely injured and on the brink of death, with multiple broken bones. As venerables, if we can't even deal with such an injured person, we might as well throw ourselves off a cliff.”

The Bronze Treasure Book is an unparalleled legacy, and the Kunpeng Technique is enough to drive various sects mad. Both being possessed by one person could trigger a catastrophe.

Although people cannot confirm if Stone Hao truly masters the Kunpeng Technique, even a mere suspicion is frightening.

In the sky above, the man in the divine flames continued to wreak havoc, causing chaos in the area.

Stone Hao understood that many were actively joining the fray, trying to take advantage of the chaos. Numerous powerful presences were closing in around him.

Boom

Finally, a venerable one made a move. Although the identity was unknown, a tremendously terrifying strike was launched from within the void.

The area erupted. Stone Hao sighed, realizing he was forced into a bloody battle. With no way to escape, he adjusted his posture, his eyes blazing with determination.

“Elder Zhong, get ready to act. Find an opportunity to eliminate this small stone. He cannot be allowed to survive,” Old Granny Xihua whispered, her eyes icy.

“What about the young miss?” Elder Zhong’s pupils flashed with golden symbols.

“The young miss will be fine for now. Use the strongest curse, ensuring a one-hit kill, and be sure to capture his primordial mark. If he truly has the Kunpeng Technique, it will affect our sect’s eternal fortune,” Old Granny Xihua instructed.

The area was chaotic, but the venerables who acted were all cunning and experienced. No one would take unnecessary risks. They attacked amidst the confusion, striking one after another, creating a terrifying threat for Stone Hao.

None of them revealed themselves, intending to wear Stone Hao down in the chaos.

No one wanted to be the first to act, as they feared Stone Hao might lash out in his desperation, taking some of them down with him.

This chaotic battle was distressing for Stone Hao, making it difficult to identify the main adversary. He snorted coldly, runes flickering in his eyes as two beams of light cut through the battlefield.

In the next moment, Stone Hao’s figure burst forth, flames soaring like a human-shaped vermillion bird, crossing the sky. He focused on the distant golden spider and launched an attack.

Since he couldn’t pinpoint each enemy, he decided to strike at the source, making an example of one to intimidate the rest. In his mind, the Devil Spirit Lake and the Heaven Mending Sect were already on his blacklist.

During his battle with Stone Yi, these sects had secretly interfered, attacking and plotting against him, which had already aroused his killing intent. If given a chance, he would not let them go.

“This is bad.”

The golden spider’s color changed. He had also attacked earlier but had always retreated after each strike, staying out of the battlefield. Now that he was exposed, he sensed danger.

Given the situation, the venerable golden spider no longer cared about his reputation and chose to flee without fighting.

The crowd was stunned. How could a dignified venerable be so fearful of a young man, retreating without a fight? Many were deeply shocked.

As events unfolded, people realized that Stone Hao had risen powerfully, like the sun at its zenith, truly having an invincible presence in this realm, making even the venerables wary.

Such majesty was beyond words. The mere news of the golden spider’s retreat and flight would be enough to cause a great stir in the wasteland, adding another layer of brilliance to Stone Hao.

“Where do you think you’re going?” Stone Hao shouted, his figure a red lightning, unfolding the ancient vermillion bird’s four strikes, coming through the sky.
