Chapter 1277: The Body Itself Is the Seed

Chaotic stones shattered the clouds, energy surged like a tempestuous sea, waves crashing against the shore with terrifying force!

Shi Hao traversed the heavens, his might unparalleled, fiercely clashing with three supreme beings. The battle was horrifying, divine techniques unfolding in dazzling yet terrifying brilliance.

The battlefield boiled with the contest of masters, a grand duel of supremacy—from the heavens to the earth, from the ground back to the skies!

“Ah—!” Zi Shan Kun roared, blood dripping from his neck, his hair disheveled, shrouded in violet mist like a demonic deity. A golden vine had nearly severed his head.

At this moment, the battle reached its peak, a frenzy of life-and-death struggle. At the very least, Zi Shan Kun fought with reckless abandon, consumed by fury.

Again and again, he had been suppressed by Shi Hao. For someone as proud and arrogant as him, who believed he could dominate his peers, this was an unbearable humiliation.

The Primordial Violet Qi Seed was hailed as invincible. Throughout the annals of history, those who obtained it became legends, their deeds earth-shattering.

Yet, fresh from seclusion, he had already suffered setbacks. How could he accept this?

If he were utterly defeated today, it would only elevate Shi Hao’s unparalleled reputation. The mention of the Primordial Violet Qi Seed would forever be overshadowed by Shi Hao’s might!

To have an invincible seed serve as a foil to another’s glory—what sorrow! And yet, it only magnified Shi Hao’s peerless dominance, towering above all his generation!

Clang!

Zi Shan Kun struck, manifesting a violet seed before him—ancient, serene, and auspicious, as if a world itself undulated within it, exerting overwhelming pressure.

The crowd gasped. Had the seed finally revealed its true form?

“Not quite. It’s still incomplete. Though mighty, Zi Shan Kun has only just fused with it and cannot yet wield it freely. He’s rushed, only summoning a fraction of the Primordial Violet Qi!” someone murmured, discerning the truth.

Yet, this was still terrifying!

As the seed took form, the heavens and earth trembled. Thunder roared, winds howled, and the world itself seemed to shift, as if doomsday had arrived.

Crack!

A colossal bolt of lightning tore through the sky like a true dragon emerging from the ancient past, splitting the world in two, shattering reality itself.

Void fissures spread endlessly, vast and countless, like cracks in shattered porcelain.

At this moment, even Da Xu Tuo and Lan Xian recoiled, retreating swiftly to avoid being caught in the chaos, abandoning their assault for now.

“Boom!”

Zi Shan Kun formed a seal with his right hand and swung it violently. The seed trembled, and with that single tremor, the world quaked as if struck by the most catastrophic earthquake.

Mountains within the academy cracked, on the verge of collapse. Fortunately, elders intervened, and the protective formations activated, stabilizing the surroundings.

But the void was not so lucky—it crumbled and exploded.

A vast, unstoppable force surged like an ocean tide, barreling toward Shi Hao.

The seed crackled with lightning, radiant yet eerie, its violet glow mesmerizing and terrifying, compelling onlookers to kneel in submission.

“Shi Hao, your fate is sealed!” Zi Shan Kun bellowed, his wild hair dancing, eyes shooting violet lightning miles long. Enshrouded in mist, he appeared both divine and monstrous.

The violet seed was now fully activated, embodying the will of heaven, the favor of the cosmos.

From beyond the heavens, countless rules descended like waterfalls, solidifying into tangible forms and merging with the seed.

Blessed by the heavens, shielded by the cosmos!

The Primordial Violet Qi Seed was now baptized by the Dao, infused with the power of the universe, suppressing all resistance—this was the might of the Great Dao!

The Virtual Dao Realm—this was its true pinnacle, the embodiment of harmony with the Dao.

The Primordial Violet Qi Seed elevated this realm to its zenith, representing the judgment of heaven, the decree of the cosmos!

Without a doubt, Zi Shan Kun was terrifying at this moment, his imposing figure towering in the sky, hands weaving seals, the seed before him radiating violet light, mist swirling.

It merged with the Dao, unleashing its most devastating power.

And Zi Shan Kun became the chosen of heaven, wielding the might of the cosmos, unstoppable!

Fear gripped all. At this moment, he communed with the Dao, capable of annihilating all obstacles, indomitable and invincible!

Shi Hao was in peril! This was the realization of many, as they felt the overwhelming, unstoppable force.

Zi Shan Kun’s spirit, energy, and will reached their peak—flawless, supreme, his confidence soaring, his divine might unparalleled among his peers.

“Die!”

Having gathered his power, Zi Shan Kun’s voice shook the mountains and rivers. His hair stood on end, his eyes blazing like suns, every pore exhaling divine energy.

Boom!

Aligned with the Dao, united with the cosmos, this devastating strike was unleashed—the Primordial Violet Qi Seed descended to annihilate Shi Hao!

All trembled, none unafraid. From the depths of their bones, they feared this seed, birthed by the Great Dao itself!

Some collapsed, unable to withstand the pressure—this was reverence and submission to the Dao, an instinct beyond control.

All believed Shi Hao faced disaster. Unless he revealed his own hidden seed, he would perish!

Swoosh!

At this moment, a dazzling immortal light erupted.

Shi Hao stretched his limbs, his fists gleaming with radiant energy, his body glowing with an ethereal luster.

His body was the seed!

Within him, the ancient “gates” hidden deep in humanity’s essence cracked open further under pressure, releasing boundless primordial potential.

Threads of divine order wrapped around him, manifesting on his skin. Then, with his full might, he struck the Primordial Violet Qi Seed!

“Disaster!” cried the disciples of the Celestial Academy, faces pale with horror.

“No! How can he face it head-on?” Cao Yusheng and others gasped, foreseeing catastrophe but powerless to intervene.

Just as all believed Shi Hao doomed, the unthinkable happened.

The majestic, terrifying Primordial Violet Qi Seed slowed, its descent hindered as if meeting immense resistance.

Pop!

A soft sound—a fist, wreathed in golden light, pierced straight through the invincible seed!

“What?!”

All stood dumbfounded. How? The mighty, peerless ancient seed had been shattered?

This defied belief, shattering all expectations!

Zi Shan Kun’s invincible momentum, his domineering aura—all froze, then crumbled like a punctured balloon.

“How…?” Even his rage faded, replaced by confusion.

“Impossible!” he howled.

Silence gripped the crowd, then erupted into fervent discussion. What had happened?

“Only one explanation exists—seed suppression. Shi Hao possesses a seed more flawless than the Primordial Violet Qi Seed, its Dao principles more profound, its mysteries peerless!” declared an elder of the Celestial Academy.

But how? The Primordial Violet Qi Seed was invincible—what could surpass it?

Even seeds of equal rank were rare, let alone superior ones!

“Because the Primordial Violet Qi Seed is incomplete. Zi Shan Kun rushed, failing to fully manifest it. Thus, it is flawed. A seed of equal rank could suppress it, leading to this outcome,” explained an elder from the Immortal Academy.

“You deceived me! You also have a perfect seed!” Zi Shan Kun roared, feeling cheated and humiliated, his defeat unjust.

“If you think so, then so be it. I myself am the invincible seed!” Shi Hao declared.

The gates within him split open, ancient mysteries hidden in humanity’s depths glowing in unison. The cracks emitted radiant light, merging to elevate Shi Hao’s power to its zenith!

Now, he stood at the pinnacle of his life, stronger than ever before.

Swoosh!

Shi Hao held nothing back, unleashing this unprecedented might, charging at Zi Shan Kun with full force!

Boom!

Zi Shan Kun’s heart pounded in terror. He hastily gathered the Primordial Violet Qi, merging with his seed to block the strike.

But he was at a disadvantage—the seed, just pierced, scattered and unable to reform swiftly. He was vulnerable.

Thud!

A world-shaking blow sent Zi Shan Kun flying, blood spraying from his mouth.

Then, as if the heavens collapsed, Shi Hao struck like a war deity, each fist shaking the cosmos.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The force was terrifying. With each punch, Zi Shan Kun coughed blood, his arms mangled and broken.

All watched in stunned silence. Shi Hao, his black hair wild, eyes icy, advanced with unstoppable might, each step a devastating blow!

Zi Shan Kun staggered back, blood gushing, his body on the verge of collapse. The Celestial Academy trembled.

Was this Shi Hao’s true power?

All shuddered in horror.

And they recalled his words—he claimed to be the perfect seed, not relying on any ancient seed of heaven and earth.

“How?” The ancient figures of the Immortal Academy, unshaken even by the collapse of mountains, now wore expressions of disbelief.

“Could he have… succeeded on that path?” they murmured, thinking of the legendary, untrodden road—the path of the Human Seed!

That path had claimed countless geniuses, none succeeding.

Yet today, Shi Hao might have done it!

The ancients stood speechless. This youth, denied even a single ancient seed, had achieved what none before him could!

This was earth-shattering news!

Thud!

Zi Shan Kun was sent flying, grievously wounded. Under Shi Hao’s relentless assault, his strength waned—he was on the brink of destruction!

Da Xu Tuo and Lan Xian intervened, but even they could not halt Shi Hao’s unstoppable advance. He had entered a state of invincibility, his power absolute!

“Those who stand in my way—perish!” Shi Hao roared, his gaze piercing Da Xu Tuo and Lan Xian. Unstoppable, his might defied all resistance!

“Has he truly walked that ancient path? The Human Seed… unprecedented?!” The truth spread, sending tremors through the crowd.
