"Impudent!" The old woman shouted. In front of so many people, she was slapped by a younger person, spitting blood from her mouth and being flung a great distance away. It was truly a mix of shock and fury.
"Impudent? You old hag!" Shi Hao said coldly. The other party had secretly interfered with his decisive battle and wanted to kill him. Regardless of her status, he would never compromise.
Old Granny Xihua's face turned alternately pale and red. For her, this was a disgrace. She came from the Bu Tian Sect, and as a venerable elder, she was slapped in the face.
What a humiliating event. It was an unparalleled disgrace.
"You are truly arrogant. Just because you won a great battle, you think you're the young supreme and can do whatever you want?" Old Granny Xihua scolded.
Shi Hao, hearing this, showed a cold smile and said, "Someone wants to kill me, and you don't allow me to retaliate? You old hag are seeking death."
The crowd was astonished. Old Granny Xihua was close to the Moon Fairy and came from the Bu Tian Sect. During these days in the wasteland, she had been treated with respect by various sects.
The current situation was alarming. Shi Hao dared to act so recklessly, without any regard. This was undoubtedly a significant matter.
"What happened?" Many were puzzled, not knowing why Shi Hao and Old Granny Xihua had clashed.
In this chaotic wasteland, with the Bu Tian Sect's formidable arrival, even the beings from the ancient divine mountains were unwilling to offend this supreme sect. Yet, a young man was acting so aggressively.
"I have no grudge with you, but you attacked me without reason. Is this not arrogance?" Old Granny Xihua's face darkened. Holding a dragon-headed cane, she slammed it violently in the void, expressing her anger.
"Old woman, don't you feel embarrassed? When I was fighting Shi Yi, you interfered secretly. Just now, you tried to kill me again. Do you think I don't know? Stop pretending to be innocent," Shi Hao rebuked.
Hearing this, Old Granny Xihua's face turned icy. Although she was not young anymore, she detested being directly called an old woman. This made her expression even gloomier.
"Nonsense," she scolded with a stern face.
Suddenly, Shi Hao moved, turning into a streak of light, swiftly attacking the old woman, aiming to capture her. However, the void trembled, and the venerable elder from the Bu Tian Sect vanished without a trace, as if evaporated from the world.
Shi Hao stood still, shocked. He muttered to himself, "Void beast hide."
He immediately recalled that at the auction in the capital of the Shi Kingdom, a piece of void beast hide had been sold for an astronomical price, making many sects envious. It was likely now in the old woman's possession.
"Even with such a treasure, you will still pay the price today," Shi Hao said fiercely.
"Whoosh."
A streak of golden light shot over. It was a golden-feathered arrow, emitting an astonishing wave, spreading ripples and shooting toward Shi Hao's back.
Someone else had attacked, undoubtedly a venerable elder.
Earlier, some had secretly attacked, and now with the Bu Tian Sect involved, some were even more reckless, employing fierce methods.
"Swish."
Shi Hao dodged, and the golden arrow passed through the void like a rainbow, piercing through several innocent cultivators. They exploded into fragments, their bodies and souls obliterated.
This showed how terrifying the arrow was.
With so many people present, such an attack would naturally cause immense collateral damage, leading people to panic and quickly evade, fearing further disaster.
At the same time, the sky roared, and a dark cloud descended, vast and boundless, pressing down on Shi Hao.
It was a huge umbrella, obscuring the sky and sun, entirely black, like a cloud pressing down, covering the sky and enveloping Shi Hao.
The black umbrella trembled, dropping curtains of rain, with a terrifying aura. It was composed of the most intricate and mysterious ancient symbols, with incredible destructive power.
In this area, some were also caught in the disaster. People screamed in agony, falling like leaves in an autumn wind, crashing down and dying tragically.
Shi Hao snorted coldly. He knew that the hidden elders couldn't restrain themselves any longer and wanted to take this opportunity to attack him with full force, to eliminate him and seize the treasures he possessed.
He threw a punch into the sky, with scorching flames erupting, like lava. This was the result of the ancient Vermillion Bird's four strikes combined, overwhelmingly dominant, like an ancient divine being resurrected.
The blazing fire wave, along with the soaring Vermillion Bird and the raging divine flames, condensed into a symbol, distorting the void, and struck the black umbrella.
"Boom."
The intense energy and endless symbols turned into boundless light, as if a great star had exploded, turning this place into a land of destruction.
The magical umbrella was extremely powerful, directly disintegrating, as if cooperating with Shi Hao's punch, transforming into a shattering black sun.
The sky was filled with symbols, and ancient incantations resounded, causing this place to boil, annihilating all living beings.
"So ruthless."
People marveled. To destroy a rare treasure just to further injure Shi Hao was a grand move. Everyone could see that the magical umbrella was rare in the world.
Shi Hao sighed. The Ten Fiend Techniques were truly heart-stirring. For the sake of the treasures on him, these people were willing to destroy the elder's magical artifact.
He spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated amid the energy storm. Even though he raised a light curtain, his body still staggered, with blood constantly dripping from the corners of his mouth.
It was not that he was outmatched but that a group of old people was too cunning. They were clearly trying to outlast him, wearing him down. In the end, the group would naturally wear him down.
Shi Hao's eyes were cold as he looked around, full of killing intent. The elders were determined to kill him and launched their attacks slowly and deliberately.
These people were all using techniques that drained energy and spirit, or summoning some taboo treasures. They did not seek to kill Shi Hao immediately but aimed to make each attack deplete him further, worsening his injuries.
"You younger generation, even the fellow cultivators are unable to stand it. You should surrender and see how you end up," Old Granny Xihua emerged from the void, a mocking smile on her face.
"Old hag, clean your neck and wait on the side," Shi Hao said.
"Clang."
At that moment, a distant bell rang, like a gentle spring rain soothing people's hearts, bringing calm to everyone.
However, for Shi Hao, this bell was like a sharp sword, cutting into his heart. Symbols flashed in the void, enveloping him.
Shi Hao's soul trembled. He felt a similar power to the earlier curse, attacking his spirit. It was likely the Bu Tian Sect's people were acting to cut him down.
At this moment, his body swayed, nearly collapsing to the ground. His sea of consciousness surged as if it were about to be split open.
"Hmph."
Shi Hao snorted coldly, and the light in his brow flared. At the same time, the divine light within his body took shape, all becoming small cauldrons, with countless cauldrons flowing in his flesh.
Simultaneously, his spiritual power also transformed into a golden small cauldron, emitting brilliant rays that illuminated his entire head.
"Wow, such a strong kid. Even among the supreme monarchs, few can casually condense their divine light into a path symbol. He is only in the inscription realm," someone exclaimed in surprise.
With the golden small cauldron formed from the spiritual power in his head, Shi Hao resisted the curse. The cauldron's mouth emitted radiant light, dispelling the intangible attacks.
"Kill."
At this moment, others also began to act, all being venerable elders. They acted cautiously, secretly launching attacks.
In an instant, magical artifacts appeared, and symbols filled the sky.
A great chanting sound filled the area as treasures from various sects were deployed, turning the place into a sea of calamity.
"Father, hurry up and rescue him," Fire Spirit pleaded from a palanquin, deeply worried.
"One must walk their own path. Since he dares to come here for a decisive battle, he must be prepared to face all dangers. If he manages to fight his way out, it means he is a true dragon. If he dies here, it shows he's not capable," Fire Emperor said this time without making a move.
Shi Hao was struggling greatly. He had activated the Ten Great Caves, transforming them into a brilliant divine disc to protect himself, but he was still on the verge of collapse, enduring tremendous impacts.
Fortunately, his speed was incredibly fast, allowing him to traverse the void and evade most of the attacks.
"If you don't kill a few, do you think I'm easy to bully?" Shi Hao was enraged. Despite his severe injuries, not everyone could act against him.
"Whoosh."
When a golden feathered arrow flew in, his eyes shone brightly, emitting two sharp beams. People were astonished to see that Shi Hao's eyes had transformed into two golden small cauldrons, with the most powerful divine consciousness scanning the surroundings, causing many to feel anxious.
"It’s you," Shi Hao growled.
He had already detected the presence of a few people, especially the one with the treasure bow who continuously shot at him. This time, he finally captured the person's true form.
"Kill."
Black waves appeared under Shi Hao’s feet. People were astonished as he transformed, his entire body covered in symbols, seemingly becoming a vessel for the Dao, even emitting bursts of Daoist thunder.
He spared no effort, though coughing blood, forcibly evolving the Kunpeng technique to its extreme. The black waves surged with the power of the Taiyin, and he soared through the air, attacking closely.
"You."
A figure fell from the void, unable to remain calm. Holding a large golden bow, his face showed alarm.
Although a venerable elder, he understood how terrifying Shi Hao was. First, he killed the brilliant Shi Yi, then the Golden Spider Elder, and now was targeting him. This was undoubtedly a disaster.
"Fellow cultivators, we cannot just watch this child run rampant. Everyone, act now and suppress him," Old Granny Xihua's voice rang from the distant sky.
She hoped to deal with the young man as soon as possible, as he made her uneasy.
Divine lights flew in, and the elders acted with terrifying force. Moreover, with so many people involved, the place was boiling.
However, Shi Hao's methods were astonishing. With his hands coming together, a black Kun fish, about a foot long, leaped up, enveloped in endless Taiyin power, charging out.
"Kill."
Various lights were extinguished when the fish’s tail swept. This was the supreme technique among treasures, truly unparalleled.
The cost was that Shi Hao coughed up blood, his body staggering. But he did not change direction, continuing to advance. His left hand opened like a great roc’s claw, shining with golden light.
"Open."
The venerable elder roared, and his great bow erupted with ten thousand rays of light to drive Shi Hao back.
However, to everyone’s astonishment, Shi Hao's left hand, resembling a golden roc’s claw, instantly tore apart the great bow and grabbed the elder’s arm.
With a "puff," blood spurted, and the arm fell off. The elder let out a cry of agony.
The two were now in close quarters, almost colliding. The elder exploded in rage, with symbols filling the sky, using various forbidden methods to fight Shi Hao fiercely.
In a moment, they exchanged hundreds of blows, all involving treasures and divine powers. Shi Hao was shaken and coughed blood, but ultimately he defeated the elder, tearing him into pieces.
As Shi Hao's fingers flipped, a Soul Suppression Tower appeared, smashing onto the elder’s true spirit, causing his divine consciousness to rapidly extinguish.
Everyone gasped. Not only was the elder killed in the virtual divine realm, but in reality, he was also as good as dead, leaving only a shell.
This was because both the Soul Destroying Needle and the Soul Suppression Tower were rare treasures in this realm, capable of truly killing cultivators who entered this world.
Shi Hao stood silently, operating the runes from the primordial true solution. He could transform decay into the miraculous and silently sensed the fluctuations in the void, hoping to capture Old Granny Xihua.
