Shi Hao was strikingly handsome, yet at this moment, he was utterly terrifying. His slender frame, suffused with the blood of an Imperial Clan, was enveloped in glowing runes, radiating holy light in waves!
His fist dripping with blood, he had pierced through Wu Kun’s body. With a gentle pull, he withdrew his arm, and the corpse plummeted from midair.
Silence fell. The battlefield was momentarily stunned—this outcome was too shocking. The four young powerhouses of the Imperial Clans—Suo Gu, Qing Kun, Yu Yu, and Wu Kun—had all fallen.
Such a fierce clash, such a horrifying battle, left everyone dazed and deeply shaken.
If one included Chi Meng Hong, the descendant of the Scarlet King, who had fallen earlier, Shi Hao had now slain five Imperial Clan experts. Such a feat was undeniably dazzling.
A glory spanning a hundred lifetimes, a legend to be told for millennia—this era had never witnessed such an achievement, such supreme brilliance!
And just like that, victory was his. The battle was over!
On the walls of Imperial Pass, after a moment of silence, an earth-shaking uproar erupted. Many shouted in excitement and exhilaration.
A single man, slaying four Imperial Clan experts—this was nothing short of an undefeated myth!
From the past until now, Imperial Pass had always been under oppressive threats from the foreign realm. Every defense had been passive, paid for in blood and lives.
Now, in a single battle, Shi Hao had rewritten history by slaying multiple Imperial Clan members.
For the foreign realm, this was a bitter and unimaginable outcome.
Five Imperial Clan prodigies—all slain by one man. Even the combined might of four experts had failed, ending only in their demise.
How could “Huang” be so terrifying? Was he forging an invincible legend?
“He was once our prisoner, yet now he has slain Imperial Clan members one after another…” someone murmured, voice trembling with shock, fury, and a trace of fear.
Huang—how could he be so overwhelmingly powerful, killing five Imperial Clan experts alone?
Shi Hao landed calmly on the ground, swiftly collecting the corpses—some belonged to demonic birds, others to colossal beasts, their wings stained with blood, their scales and horns gleaming.
This was the flesh of the Imperial Clan—something no other creature would dare even dream of touching. Who could kill an Imperial Clan member? Who would dare?
Yet here was a young man, hunting them down like prey, collecting their bodies as trophies.
Apart from Yu Yu, who had been blasted apart in human form, the others, though shattered, still retained their physical forms.
“This should be enough to eat,” Shi Hao muttered.
This somewhat ruined his imposing image. Just moments ago, he had been awe-inspiring, exuding an overwhelming aura—now he was talking about food.
To some, however, this only made him seem even more savage. To dare consume the flesh of the Imperial Clan—who in countless millennia would have the audacity?
“Roar—”
Finally, from the foreign realm’s side, a mournful howl arose. Many creatures roared in fury, their killing intent surging across the battlefield.
These were the followers of the Imperial Clan, enraged and desperate to slay Huang.
This battle had humiliated the Imperial Clan, striking a deep blow to their invincible pride. Today, they had suffered an unprecedented defeat.
On the battlefield, the foreign realm’s Supreme Elders opened their eyes, cold and piercing, lightning flickering within. Though they did not act, their murderous intent was palpable.
Not far away, Meng Tianzheng stood, holding a tattered banner—an ancient war flag stained with the essence of an Immortal King, condensed with the battle intent and killing aura of that era.
Above him, the Ten Realms Diagram hovered, opposing the foreign forces.
If they clashed, the consequences would be dire. If Meng Tianzheng and his allies fell, Imperial Pass would be lost forever.
The city gate had collapsed—this was the most vulnerable Imperial Pass had been in countless millennia, susceptible to destruction by immortal artifacts.
“Huang, you are strong, very strong. But to think you are invincible among your peers? You are far from it!”
At this moment, a young man strode forward from the opposing side, his bearing awe-inspiring. He held a celestial halberd, his body as lithe and powerful as a flood dragon, exuding an air of unmatched supremacy.
This man was proud, supremely confident, his entire being radiant, encircled by divine halos like the son of a Heavenly Emperor. He stood as the center of the world.
His long, gleaming hair, the demonic runes etched on his forehead, and his sword-like eyebrows that slanted sharply into his temples marked him as extraordinary.
This was the youth who had earlier declared his intent to kill Shi Hao, brandishing his halberd in challenge. He was at the Dunyi Realm—a step above Wu Kun, Yu Yu, and Chi Meng Hong.
Had the Six Young Emperors not intervened, he would have faced Shi Hao in battle long ago.
A Dunyi Realm Imperial Clan member!
Undoubtedly, he was the leader of the foreign realm’s younger generation!
“I will give you time to rest—until you recover to your peak!” the youth declared, his battle armor shimmering like cicada wings, inscribed with Dao symbols.
His pupils now glowed, transforming into terrifying runes!
A supreme being, a Dunyi Realm Imperial Clan member—absolutely fearsome, exuding the aura of the Great Dao, as if the son of a Heavenly Emperor had descended to sweep the world.
As his battle intent surged, his body blazed with brilliance, encircled by 108 divine halos, becoming the most dazzling light in the heavens.
Many nearby youths shuddered, feeling an instinctive dread. Under his overwhelming pressure, their own Daos were suppressed.
What was happening?
“Suppressing all Daos, immune to all laws!” someone murmured in realization.
“He… is the descendant of Wu Shang!” an elder from Imperial Pass said with dread and resignation.
Wu Shang—the one who had recently struck the Celestial Abyss with his halberd, attempting to send an undying being through. An unimaginably ancient and peerlessly powerful existence.
His lineage’s innate talent was the most terrifying—immune to all laws, impervious to all techniques!
“Hao Feng!”
The descendant of Wu Shang was recognized—his name was Hao Feng.
Shi Hao turned, his gaze icy. “You think the Dunyi Realm can suppress me?”
He did not stop but strode forward, his killing intent and battle aura surging, ready to engage once more—this time against an even stronger foe.
Hao Feng had cultivated far longer than Shi Hao, older than Wu Kun and Yu Yu—a seasoned Dunyi Realm expert, his power terrifying.
“If you want to fight, then fight. I can slay you all the same!” Shi Hao declared.
These words stunned many. The foreign realm’s creatures seethed, enraged by Huang’s arrogance. Did he truly think he could challenge an Imperial Clan member across realms?
Impossible!
To them, the Imperial Clan stood above all races. No being could challenge them across realms.
Crack!
Bolts of lightning streaked across the sky, swirling around Shi Hao—the power of a heavenly tribulation.
Thunder roared, the spectacle horrifying.
The lightning carried chaotic energy, its blinding radiance poised to descend upon Shi Hao.
“He’s going to undergo tribulation, advancing to a higher realm!” someone gasped.
Huang was too defiant—daring to undergo tribulation mid-battle, his audacity both terrifying and awe-inspiring.
Shi Hao had long been ready to step into the Dunyi Realm but had tempered himself, unwilling to rush. His cultivation speed had been too rapid.
At his age, reaching the peak of the Zhanwo Realm was already unprecedented in this era.
He had wanted to refine himself further before breaking through, ensuring his foundation was unshakable.
Now, with Hao Feng’s challenge, Shi Hao decided to ascend. Though he could still temper himself in the Zhanwo Realm, the time was ripe. The tribulation would further refine his body.
In the past, he had always cultivated to perfection before naturally transcending his realm, ensuring a solid foundation.
Today, he did not wish for a bloody battle. Even if he could fight across realms, defeating Hao Feng would come at a cost—his opponent had been in the Dunyi Realm for years.
Moreover, Hao Feng was likely not at the early stage. Shi Hao deemed it necessary to break through now and slay him as a Dunyi Realm cultivator.
“Hao Feng, retreat! He is undergoing tribulation—if you are caught in it, it will be disastrous.”
A Supreme Elder spoke, ordering Hao Feng to withdraw.
In truth, the foreign realm was wary. If Huang broke through and remained as terrifying as before, what if his combat power soared?
That could spell disaster.
Ultimately, they feared a Dunyi Realm Huang defeating Hao Feng.
Such an outcome was unacceptable.
The foreign realm’s younger generation had already suffered enough. If Shi Hao, fresh from his breakthrough, defeated Hao Feng, the Imperial Clan would be utterly humiliated.
This could not be allowed. It had to be stopped.
Hao Feng was reluctant but yielded as two Imperial Clan Supreme Elders sternly commanded his retreat.
“Fall back. The fate of Imperial Pass lies with us. Even if you slaughter all their youths, it means nothing if the city walls remain unbroken.”
“Slay their Supreme Elders, and all else will follow.”
The two Imperial Clan Supreme Elders spoke in turn.
Hao Feng withdrew without a word, averting a clash of Imperial Clan prodigies.
“Hahaha…” Shi Hao laughed heartily.
With a thunderous boom, the lightning above him vanished—he had forcibly halted the tribulation.
Everyone gasped in shock. To stop a tribulation mid-descent—how was this possible?
“Truly worthy of one who has mastered the Thunder Emperor’s techniques and obtained a Thunder Pool,” someone from Imperial Pass murmured in admiration.
Without lifting a hand, Shi Hao had forced an Imperial Clan member to retreat.
“Now it is our turn. Who will face me?”
A Supreme Elder from the foreign realm stepped forward.
All knew the true decisive battle had arrived—could Imperial Pass’s defenders hold?
Meng Tianzheng strode forth. “Killing and slaughtering grows tiresome. Why not settle this on a chessboard—one game to decide all?”
“Agreed!” the Imperial Clan Supreme Elder replied.
