When
The bell tolled again, a soothing sound that was pleasant to most, but to Shi Hao, it was a harbinger of death—a curse bell that struck deep into his heart.
However, it was not very effective against him now, as he had managed to block the curse’s power.
The venerables struck again, with flashes of light and treasure techniques falling from the sky. Shi Hao faced several crises but managed to avoid them all.
“Father, he’s losing too much blood. If this continues, he will surely perish,” Huo Ling’er said anxiously, hoping the Fire Emperor would intervene.
“Be patient. There is great fortune in life and death; this is not without its trials. It’s best if he overcomes this calamity on his own,” the Fire Emperor replied in a deep voice.
The Stone Emperor, like the Fire Emperor, remained composed and silent, sitting still on an ancient palanquin, with only his eyes glowing with divine light.
In fact, some were very wary of them; otherwise, they would have acted long ago. These people were very close to the two emperors, and it was clear they were paying close attention to the battle.
Boom!
A blazing fire erupted as a venerable summoned the innate fire of separation, red as magma, causing the void to tremble and quickly encircle Shi Hao.
Everyone gasped. This was a type of innate Taoist fire, sweeping out like an ocean. The venerable’s background was not trivial; perhaps he was a divine bird of the fire path.
To everyone’s surprise, Shi Hao immediately sat down. Four red divine birds circled around him, absorbing the separation fire from the void, refining his essence, and nourishing his body.
“Remarkable, he actually refines the essence of the fire for himself.” Even opponents, trying to seize his Kunpeng technique, couldn’t help but admire his extraordinary ability.
“Brothers, let’s join forces and capture him quickly to prevent him from continuing his rampage and causing chaos,” Old Madam Xihua suggested, hovering in the void at a safe distance.
“Agreed. Let’s act together and subdue him quickly,” the venerables responded one after another. In the end, they were somewhat like scattered sand, unwilling to fight to the death. Now that someone was taking the lead, others naturally hoped for a combined effort to quickly achieve results.
Shi Hao’s situation grew dire, with increasing pressure.
Whoosh!
A bronze sword flew in, continually slashing down with sharp sword lights, overwhelming Shi Hao.
With a loud boom, a golden gourd appeared, shining brightly. The stopper of the gourd was removed, and mist emerged from it like a black hole, starting to devour everything, attempting to absorb Shi Hao.
Roar!
A Qiongqi appeared, composed of blood-red runes, resembling a tiger with bull-like horns and covered in spiky fur, red as blood. It had giant wings and roared, shaking the heavens.
This was a powerful treasure technique, vivid and lifelike, as if a real Qiongqi were pouncing.
With a thunderous crash, a wooden ship collided, exuding dark light and filled with a strange aura, as if carrying a shipload of gods and demons. Upon closer inspection, the ship had many statues emitting dark light, as if ancient gods and demons were reviving. This was a peculiar treasure, rampaging forward without altering its course.
Whoosh!
Golden light split the sky as a golden divine bird appeared, attacking Shi Hao. This was also a powerful divine ability, manifesting as the legendary lightning eagle falcon, striking down.
In that single moment, Shi Hao faced attacks from all sides. The void trembled violently, threatening to shatter.
The Domain Lord frowned. This severely disrupted the balance. The combined efforts of so many people affected the stability of the heavens, potentially causing disorder in the laws of order.
Shi Hao was in a precarious situation, besieged by many, facing profound and mysterious techniques, putting his life at risk. He maneuvered quickly through the divine abilities and treasures, trying his best to avoid them.
Boom!
Shi Hao snapped his fingers, sending out a Vermilion Bird from his palm to counter the bronze sword, nearly melting it as they entangled.
With a clang, he summoned the Sky-Transforming Bowl, spinning rapidly, and flew towards the sky. The bowl’s mouth was placed over the golden gourd’s opening, blocking the black hole and preventing it from absorbing Shi Hao.
Clearly, this was not a permanent solution. The golden gourd shook violently, threatening to escape the Sky-Transforming Bowl and rejoin the life-and-death struggle.
Roar!
Shi Hao roared, with boundless smoke and clouds rising behind him. A golden-winged great roc soared, roaring loudly, shaking the vast heavens, enormous and boundless.
“Finally revealing the Kunpeng’s true form?”
“Hmm, not quite right. It’s a golden-winged great roc, but its power is formidable. So strong!”
“Not good. The form is the golden roc, but the power is that of the Kunpeng. Retreat quickly!”
The crowd exclaimed in alarm, but it was too late. The golden roc tore through the Qiongqi in the sky, causing the runes to collapse. At the same time, the golden roc’s body developed black spots, increasing its power as it transformed into the Kunpeng and attacked the lightning eagle falcon.
A violent explosion erupted, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring like an ocean. The roc charged through, shattering everything and breaking these treasures, eventually merging into the crowd.
“Ah!”
Someone screamed in agony, losing an arm and a foot. The Kunpeng’s treasure technique was unstoppable, immediately heavily injuring two or three people. If it hadn’t been for a life-and-death talisman that blocked a fatal blow at the critical moment, they would have perished.
Shi Hao’s face turned pale. Though he was immensely powerful, capable of battling many foes, he was ultimately injured. After all this, he broke into a cold sweat, his whole body shivering.
What was most frightening was the wooden ship, as if carrying countless gods and demons, exuding endless mist, with shadows of people appearing and eerie winds howling.
“What is this?” Shi Hao muttered, feeling something was off.
He punched out, feeling as if he had struck into cotton. There were still gods and demons roaring, the mist thick and the wooden ship charging straight ahead without changing course.
“Hmm, another curse?”
Shi Hao shuddered. The ship, seemingly carrying a full load of gods and demons, had runes intertwined and then spontaneously caught fire, emitting streams of dark light that rained down.
Shi Hao realized that this was too bizarre. The divine power could not defend against it, continuously corroding his essence and spirit, as if a haunted mansion had fallen down.
“Open!” Shi Hao unleashed the primordial true solution, using the most upright and primordial runes to counteract it.
Boom!
Finally, he shattered the wooden ship, and the burning flames were extinguished, disappearing.
“Old Bell, can’t even deal with the divine and ghost ship? It’s a high-grade curse,” Old Madam Xihua transmitted, showing a trace of anxiety.
“Quite strange. He had the power to break all laws just now. The curse’s power relies heavily on assassination, and he has defenses. It’s indeed difficult to be effective. But I still have...” An old man whispered in the dark, his golden eyes flickering with an eerie light.
“Haha!”
Laughter echoed from the sky. The mysterious young man who fought with Moon Chan appeared with a blurred figure. People were astonished to find he was very young, only around sixteen or seventeen.
“Brother Shi, truly remarkable. To dare to fight against the Supplementing Heaven Sect now. Why not join my camp? I’ll help you deal with that annoying old woman first.”
Amidst the battle, he didn’t forget to extend an olive branch, hoping to recruit Shi Hao.
Old Madam Xihua’s forehead throbbed with veins. The mysterious youth was too annoying for addressing her in such a manner, but she was helpless. Over the years, several powerful sects had wanted to eliminate this young man, but he only grew stronger.
Shi Hao only snorted coldly in response and ignored it.
“Kill!”
Finally, Old Madam Xihua took action herself. Petals flew through the sky, crystal clear and fragrant, but each petal concealed a deadly intent, continuously slashing at Shi Hao.
“Old hag, you’re truly disgusting. At your age, still messing around with petals and thinking you’re a young girl,” Shi Hao retorted sharply.
Old Madam Xihua was so enraged that she almost spat out a mouthful of blood. As a venerable from the Supplementing Heaven Sect, she had been honored by all the sect leaders since entering the Wilderness. However, recently, she had been called a disgusting old hag by two young men. Reflecting on her past beauty and youth, she now wondered if she was truly disliked by everyone.
“Friends of the Supplementing Heaven Sect, we have come to assist you. This child is too arrogant. After winning one battle with the heavy pupils, he believes he is invincible. As elders, it is necessary for us to teach him how to behave,” a venerable appeared, no longer hiding in the shadows.
The Supplementing Heaven Sect had a long history and had been prosperous since ancient times. With the Wilderness on the brink of chaos, establishing ties with such a supreme sect had endless benefits.
Shi Hao closed his eyes and sat cross-legged in the void, seemingly oblivious to his surroundings, and began to regulate his breathing.
Around him, runes appeared, especially on his arms, with radiant rays of light. This was a divine artifact armguard.
This treasure temporarily created a protective barrier, buying him time. Shi Hao was gathering his strength, preparing to unleash his ultimate power and make a breakthrough.
“Kill him!” Old Madam Xihua commanded, leading the charge.
Others also took action. The venerables’ expressions grew serious. The battle was about to reach its conclusion. They were no longer willing to sneak attacks and were ready to make a decisive move.
With a loud bang, the area shook violently as six or seven figures emerged, surrounding Shi Hao.
At the same time, an old man appeared, sitting in the void with a small altar before him. He began burning paper on the altar and quickly carved a small wooden figure resembling Shi Hao, throwing it into the fire.
“Hmm, a powerful curse. I remember someone used such a curse to hunt me down in the past,” the young man fighting Moon Chan in the sky noted with an unusual expression.
Boom!
Shi Hao stood up, wiped the blood from his mouth, and his entire body began to shine as if he had recovered to his peak state. A towering column of blood erupted from his head, piercing through the clouds.
At this moment, his ten Great Caves and Flesh Cave illuminated, merging together to form an indestructible divine disc.
Simultaneously, he stopped concealing himself, manifesting the perfect Kunpeng form. Black waves surged beneath him, and golden divine fire surged above his head.
A Kun fish leaped from the sea beneath him, swimming around him, while above, a radiant sun rose from the golden flames, containing a divine bird. As its eyes opened and closed, the entire world surged.
“Come on, let’s make this final strike!” Shi Hao roared.
With a thunderous boom, the powers of the moon and sun merged. Shi Hao pushed the Kunpeng technique to its limit, sweeping in all directions.
This was an attack he had fully enhanced and pushed to its maximum. This divine ability, more exhausting than fighting hundreds of rounds, drained an immense amount of divine power.
But the scene was astonishing. Centered around him, the ten Great Caves and Flesh Cave supported the Kunpeng technique, sweeping away all enemies.
Pfft!
One person was instantly obliterated, turning into a cloud of blood without even a sound.
“Ah!”
Two others were crushed into meat paste, their bodies disintegrated in the void.
At the same time, the curse power surged toward Shi Hao but was pushed back. The old man by the altar screamed as he burned, just like the small wooden figure he had ignited.
“Heavens, what is happening?” People cried out in shock.
This Kunpeng technique was unparalleled, no longer concealed like before. Shi Hao truly displayed its power, causing the heavens to collapse and the earth to quake. Even his own bones were shaken and fractured.
Three venerables died instantly in the assault. Shi Hao used the Soul Destroyer Needle to pierce through and deliver finishing blows.
“Terrifying! He’s so heavily injured, doesn’t he care for his life? To use such a great technique like this?” People marveled.
“Will his reckless fighting destroy himself?”
“You!” Old Madam Xihua was horrified as she controlled the void beast skin to hide in the void, attempting to escape.
However, at this moment, Shi Hao’s power reached the heavens and earth. The ten Great Caves and Flesh Cave appeared simultaneously, something that had occurred only a few times since his emergence.
“Constrain!”
Shi Hao’s voice was cold as he sealed the void.
Then, he closed his eyes, sensing Old Madam Xihua’s location and advancing step by step.
At this moment, in this area, the vast sky was frozen, with only him able to move, like a divine being ruling over the world.
Shi Hao pulled an old woman out of the void, making her reveal her position, and only then did the sealed void return to normal.
“You!” Old Madam Xihua was terrified.
“Old Madam Xihua has been captured alive!” Many people exclaimed in shock.
Slap! Slap!
Without saying a word, Shi Hao held Old Madam Xihua with one hand and began to slap her repeatedly with the other. Her teeth flew out, and blood sprayed everywhere.
This was a form of humiliation. Shi Hao could have killed her but chose not to. Instead, he gave her a thorough beating in front of everyone.
