Chapter 322: The Cruel Boy

Chapter 322: The Cruel Boy

The Golden Spider was enraged to the point of exploding. How dare a mere young lad confront him with such an attitude, as if a mighty being was teaching a younger generation a lesson?

It was unforgivable. That young boy actually patted his shoulder so casually, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

A thunderclap erupted, and golden lightning swirled and filled the void. The Golden Spider unleashed its fury, extending a giant golden hand to obliterate Shi Hao and erase him from existence.

Silently, the Head Guard in gray appeared, coughed lightly, and the void solidified. The Golden Spider was unable to move, and even the order rules it emitted were immobilized.

The crowd was astonished. It was the first time they had seen the Head Guard act. A single cough rendered the powerful Golden Spider immobile, binding it in place.

“The Emperor’s birthday cannot be disrupted here. If you wish to duel, go to the training ground,” the Head Guard spoke.

At Shi Hao's feet, the little wolf let out a howl and quickly pounced, biting fiercely at the Golden Spider’s leg. In an instant, the golden feathers flew, revealing most of the leg, with the clothing shredded.

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat. A small wolf, just a foot long, was able to damage such a precious garment. Its tiny claws and teeth left terrible wounds on the leg.

One must remember, this was a pure-blooded being with a body harder than refined iron; ordinary weapons could hardly injure it.

The little wolf was only a foot long, looking silly and simple-minded. Previously, it had only followed Shi Hao around, and no one had paid it much attention, never expecting it could injure a pure-blooded being.

The Head Guard’s eyes flashed with surprise. He had sealed the void, yet this little wolf managed to break through the seal and gnaw at the Golden Spider. This was extraordinary.

He withdrew his divine power, otherwise, the little wolf might have devoured a leg of the Golden Spider, which was now bleeding profusely.

“小灰灰, come back. That leg is poisonous and smells bad. Don’t eat it,” Shi Hao called, warning the little wolf to return, mainly to prevent it from being harmed.

The moment the Golden Spider regained its freedom, it was instantly enraged. It first glared fiercely at the Head Guard and then slapped towards the little wolf with golden gusts of wind raging.

The little wolf was nimble, leaving a phantom as it moved swiftly ten paces away, then wagged its tail and ran over to Shi Hao’s side, rubbing its head against his leg.

“The training ground is over there,” the Head Guard gestured, pointing to the side, his gaze sharp and fierce. Though he was an old man, he was like a divine sword lying in the depths of the abyss, his sharpness hidden but ever-present.

“Go, I’ll take your head,” the Golden Spider sneered, vowing not to let this young man go. The earlier incident had made him furious.

“Why should I listen to you just because you say so? You can’t eat me, you’re not a beautiful fat person, and you look down on others. Why should I listen to you?” Shi Hao refused to go.

“Ancient Golden Spiders represent sanctity and possess a peaceful aura. Their bodies are enveloped in golden radiance and are not poisonous. They are a rare species among the demonic spiders,” someone whispered in the shadows.

“Is that true?” Shi Hao widened his eyes.

Then, some people discussed and confirmed that the Golden Spider was indeed a sacred pure-blooded being without poison. It was said that in ancient times, a golden spider ascended to the divine realm, looking down upon the world.

“Alright, I’ll go fight you. I’ve never eaten a spider before, so I’ll see what it tastes like,” the bear child howled, leading the charge towards the training ground.

The Golden Spider’s face turned ashen with rage. This kid was actually using this as a reason to fight, making him want to slap him to death immediately, his anger burning his lungs.

The Golden Spider also rushed towards the training ground, eager to kill the human youth. Even a moment of his survival was a torment.

A group of pure-blooded beings followed, especially several youths who had come with the Golden Spider, naturally wanting to watch the battle.

In front of the Heavenly Palace, people were astonished. Many stood up and walked towards the training ground, eager to witness the battle. Clearly, this was an appetizer fight. If the Golden Spider could kill Shi Hao, that would be the end of it. If not, the esteemed elder would have to step in.

The vast training ground exuded an ancient atmosphere. It was said that the stones laid on the ground were transported from the ancient battlefield and then arranged with a great sealing array.

The training ground was enormous, making people appear very small.

Crack!

The Golden Spider charged, surrounded by golden lightning that made the void tremble. It was furious and aimed to kill Shi Hao at the earliest moment.

“Be careful, he has divine armguards from the Divine Mountain. They are divine artifacts,” a pure-blooded being warned.

The Golden Spider was startled and released the golden lightning from afar, with intense light enveloping the heavens and the earth, a haze of light with crackling arcs.

“Am I that careless? If I used the armguards and ruined him, what would I eat?” Shi Hao murmured, indeed not using them. Instead, he merged with the Immortal Golden Body, effectively donning a black-gold battle suit.

Roar!

Ten fierce beasts, each as large as a mountain, stood on the battlefield. Thankfully, the training ground was large enough. They roared, swallowing all the lightning, then transforming into ten bolts of purple lightning, striking the Golden Spider.

Boom!

It was a clash of lightning. An endless light erupted between them, and eventually, black smoke billowed as all the lightning disappeared.

One had to say, the Golden Spider was formidable. Although young, it was already a prince. This was the terrifying aspect of pure-blooded beings. Once grown, their strength naturally soared to an alarming level.

The Golden Spider punched forward. Shi Hao sneered and stood still, meeting the blow with his fist. Intense light erupted between them.

The sound of the collision was more violent than thunder, deafening. Shi Hao remained unmoved, and the Golden Spider also stayed put, but blood splattered from its fist.

“This...” The Golden Spider took a deep breath. The boy’s fist was too hard. At the last moment, it felt an immense force. Blocking with the golden spider web still resulted in injured finger bones, almost broken.

What a powerful body! The Golden Spider, a pure-blooded being, had thought human bodies weren’t strong enough, but ended up hitting a solid wall. Considering the opponent had opened up ten heavens, there seemed to be no weakness, making him realize that this human youth needed to be eliminated soon, or he would become a great threat in the future.

Shi Hao had indeed not used the divine armguards, mainly because the artifact consumed too much, and he didn’t want to form a dependency. Since he could fight directly, he preferred not to use heavy weapons. Besides, he wanted to see the Golden Spider’s techniques and differences to better understand the ancient demonic spider.

The Golden Spider was overwhelmingly powerful, with the strength of a prince, capable of summoning the wind and rain, creating various phenomena.

Its golden spider webs covered the sky and the sun, layer upon layer, nearly causing Shi Hao to suffer greatly. The golden threads were incredibly tough, difficult to destroy.

“Die!”

In the final stages of the battle, though the Golden Spider was in human form, a golden giant spider appeared behind him, terrifying and surrounded by golden order chains, rapidly stabbing towards Shi Hao.

Clang!

Shi Hao snapped his fingers, hitting the divine chain. The sound was deafening and shook the soul.

Shi Hao was surprised. Only he could handle this. Anyone else might not withstand it. With such divine chains, they could easily pierce through treasures, almost indestructible.

The Golden Spider and the divine form merged into one, with golden light shining brilliantly. Around them, the order chains danced like golden locks, clattering loudly.

He appeared like a divine being, glowing with a brilliant yellow light, his powerful aura surging like a torrent.

Shi Hao secretly used the Kunpeng Technique. His fingers glowed with a pale gold color interspersed with black patterns. He struck the incoming order chains again and again, causing them to shatter with a resounding clang.

The Golden Spider was astonished. Such terrifying finger strength could even cut through its strongest order chains. The young man's fingers were incredibly powerful.

After experimenting with the Kunpeng Technique, Shi Hao withdrew it and activated the Ten Heavens, making his whole body glow. He used his physical strength and runes.

Boom!

His aura surged, like a true dragon awakening from the abyss, rising to the heavens in a complete explosion.

Shi Hao grabbed several golden order chains, snapping them with a few cracks. He used his maximum strength and found that he could indeed counter the opponent's order chains.

“No!” The Golden Spider cried out.

At this moment, he was under immense pressure because the young man had gone berserk, unleashing his strongest attacks and engaging him in a fierce battle.

Shi Hao did not use the Ten Heavens to seal the void. Instead, he threw punch after punch forward, using only the most basic runes as recorded in the primordial true解, transforming the decayed into the miraculous.

“Great Peng Divine Fist!” The Head Guard exclaimed in surprise, his eyes flashing with a golden light, resembling the eyes of a golden-winged Dapeng.

In fact, Shi Hao was merely using the most primitive runes to interpret the Kunpeng technique, evolving and changing randomly. Later, his fist techniques transformed, roaring like a fierce beast, as if it could shake the divine moon in the heavens.

Bang!

The Golden Spider was sent flying by a punch, spewing blood and trembling violently. With just one strike, its body crackled, breaking at least a dozen bones.

The crowd was shocked, witnessing the terrifying power of Shi Hao's punches. It was known that this was a pure-blooded being at the prince level. To suffer such a fate from a mere youth was astounding.

During this process, the Golden Spider revealed its true form, unable to endure the divine power. A giant golden spider, several dozen feet long, appeared on the spot.

Boom!

Shi Hao delivered another punch, and the Golden Spider struggled to block it. However, one of its spider legs was shattered, bleeding profusely and lying on the ground.

Shi Hao summoned the Heavenly Transformation Bowl. The gray ceramic bowl spun, its opening glowing with auspicious light, and the Golden Spider was absorbed into it, shrinking to a few inches long at the bottom of the bowl.

“It’s been sealed!” The crowd was stunned.

The few youths who had come with the Golden Spider were particularly shocked. How could a prince-level pure-blooded being be taken away by a teenage human so quickly?

“I’ve never eaten spider before. I wonder what it tastes like,” Shi Hao said, lifting the severed spider leg, which was several feet long. He spewed runes that turned into flames and began roasting it.

He carried the spider leg out of the training ground and back to the banquet scene, continuously releasing flames to roast the golden leg.

Everyone avoided him. This was too cruel—roasting a spider leg right at the birthday feast.

Soon, the smell of roasted meat wafted through the air. Shi Hao eagerly cracked open the golden spider leg’s shell, revealing the white, glistening meat inside, similar to peeling a lobster.

“It’s really edible and different from ordinary spiders.”

Shi Hao took a big bite and immediately exclaimed in delight, savoring the taste, and then took a large gulp of wine, clearly enjoying himself.

“It’s so delicious, the meat is tender and more fragrant than phoenix meat.”

When these words were uttered, many people wiped their sweat.

This was incredibly cruel—turning the Golden Spider into food in an instant, making people question whether he was truly human. They had never seen such brutality before.

“Human, you have insulted my Demon Spirit Lake. Even the gods cannot save you,” a furious voice echoed from the distant sky. It was the voice of the ancient demonic spider.

It had left before the banquet began, not wishing to see the Emperor again, only to find that one of its pampered descendants had met with misfortune.

“Go to the military training ground and let them fight,” came the command from the central Heavenly Palace. Golden flames surged, intense and blazing, as if to collapse the sky. The Emperor personally approved it.

The military training ground was not here but far from the imperial city, a heavily guarded area for training troops.

People were eager to see what this ruthless youth relied on and whether he could truly challenge the divine mountain’s esteemed ones.

Suddenly, the central Heavenly Palace and the vast training ground lifted from the ground, separating from the imperial city, astonishing everyone. It was like a giant flying artifact.

In almost no time, they soared through the sky, leaving the imperial city behind, arriving above a vast military training ground, and descended. This place was very suitable for a battle between powerful beings.
