Chapter 1949: Suppression of the Three Sovereigns

“Ah…”

Ao Sheng roared, his body shattered and torn apart by Shi Hao, his Immortal King blood staining the starry skies. He was exhausting every means to resist the killing force directed at him.

Who could have imagined that after five hundred thousand years, the once-young prodigy, “Huang,” had attained such power—capable of contending with an Immortal King and even slaughtering one with overwhelming force? How terrifying was this?

How had he come so far in all these years?

Was there ever such a young, peerless Immortal King? Time was merciless, burying countless legends. In the past, there might have been those who ascended to Immortal Kinghood at an early age, but were they as overwhelmingly dominant as Huang? And here he was, battling three supreme experts at once!

Ao Sheng bellowed, his body covered in radiant runes and dazzling light, his wings of sword energy shielding him from annihilation!

His severed limbs, his decapitated head—all desperately sought to reunite, to reform his body!

As a supreme Immortal King, being pushed to such a brink was unheard of for countless epochs. In truth, since his rise to fame, he had never been so humiliated.

“Pfft!”

The sword in Shi Hao’s hand was indestructible, its force now overwhelming. A spray of blood erupted as Shi Hao cleaved through Ao Sheng’s body once more!

The darkness of the cosmos was illuminated—Immortal King blood was too vivid, carrying prismatic hues and chaotic radiance that surged through the void.

Ao Sheng’s limbs, torso, chest, and head were all severed, his body hacked into pieces. His fury burned, for this was an unparalleled disgrace—yet he was helpless, suppressed and beaten.

Tai Shi let out a long howl. Behind him, a colossal beast manifested—his true form, now reconstructed from blood energy and the symbols of the Great Dao. Vague and indistinct, it was monstrous and horrifying.

“ROAR!”

With a deafening roar, the beast opened its maw wide, seeking to devour Shi Hao in a desperate bid to save Ao Sheng.

At the same time, Yuan Chu stood in the distance, his hands weaving intricate seals as he formed supreme divine techniques, hurling them at Shi Hao. He was altering the very order of the heavens.

A surge of immortal light erupted—a radiance born from the dawn of creation, the most primal manifestation of the Great Dao’s runes, refined by Yuan Chu into his supreme divine power.

This light was said to pierce all things, its might boundless.

Tai Shi unleashed his true form, while Yuan Chu wielded his innate Immortal King technique. Both fought with increasing frenzy, all to stop Shi Hao and slay him.

Ao Sheng could not be allowed to fall—if he did, the other two would be left even more vulnerable.

“Pathetic tricks!”

Shi Hao’s voice was icy and unafraid in response to their assaults. He stood amidst immortal mist, his figure indistinct and ethereal.

Yet his gaze was piercing—cold and terrifying, cutting through the chaotic haze as he stared at the two.

**BOOM!**

A halo of light erupted from Shi Hao’s body, resonating with the tiny figure within the radiance above his head. The two merged, their brilliance reaching an extreme.

At this moment, the secret technique that should have been born from his third Supreme Bone was unleashed once more. His aura skyrocketed to a horrifying level.

“KILL!”

Shi Hao roared, spinning around to strike at the two supreme experts. His left fist formed a divine seal, while his right hand gripped the sword, sweeping toward them both.

**BANG!**

This was the most direct collision. Shi Hao’s fist smashed into the colossal beast—its massive, terrifying body, its gaping maw swallowing his strike.

With a thunderous explosion, blood sprayed. Shi Hao’s fist remained unharmed, while the beast was sent flying, its fangs shattered, its maw drenched in blood.

“ROAR!”

Tai Shi, the Immortal King, bellowed in rage. The beast was his manifested form, and its violent repulsion caused his true body to stagger, blood trickling from his lips.

At the last moment, the nearly-exploded beast merged back into him.

Simultaneously, Shi Hao clashed with Yuan Chu. The tiny figure above his head opened its mouth and let out a long cry—devouring Yuan Chu’s immortal light like a whale swallowing the ocean.

“You—give it back!” Yuan Chu roared. This was his supreme treasure, harvested from the primordial light of creation—a weapon unlike any other. How could he lose it?

Yet the tiny figure was too sinister, its cheeks bulging as it swallowed the light, refusing to release it as it worked to refine it.

**BANG!**

Shi Hao erupted with power, his fist and sword striking together, shattering Yuan Chu’s protective avatar and armor, sending him flying with blood gushing from his seven orifices.

“DIE!”

Shi Hao roared, his sword sweeping out once more, cleaving into Ao Sheng and leaving him grievously wounded, his body even more broken than before.

“Light shall forever grace my form!” Ao Sheng chanted scripture.

His flesh disintegrated on its own, transforming into Great Dao symbols that spread across the heavens like a terrifying ocean of order, surging toward Shi Hao.

Originally, his body had been severed by Shi Hao, with the latter’s rules spreading through his flesh, preventing recovery.

Yet who could have expected Ao Sheng to resort to such desperation—burning his essence, freeing his flesh, turning it into a rain of light, becoming symbols of order, nearly “dissolving into the Dao”?

This was playing with fire. If he failed, his true body would never reform—he would merge into the Great Dao, becoming part of the world’s laws.

But now, he had no choice. Faced with such a monstrous foe, he could only fight with his life.

**BOOM!**

Ao Sheng’s heavenly might shook the world as countless Great Dao symbols descended, seeking to drown and annihilate Shi Hao.

“Useless!” Shi Hao said coldly.

In an instant, he manifested a thunder pool—one that contained not just lightning, but also the symbols of all his divine abilities. A True Phoenix danced within, fragments of time swirling about.

This was his supreme technique—absorbing the essence of the Willow Deity’s methods, the Indestructible Scripture, the Thunder Emperor’s secret arts, the True Phoenix Ancient Scripture, the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art, and more, fusing them all into one.

Now, with the power of his five secret realms, he unleashed it—some techniques his own, yet all encompassing the supreme truths of past scriptures.

The six secret realms blazed, countless laws and divine arts converging within this single pool before him.

The thunder pool’s surface held the mysteries of the heavens!

Its shape shifted—first a cauldron, then a pagoda, then a bell as fragments of time swirled around it.

It was ever-changing, yet ultimately returned to the form of a pool.

**SHHIIING!**

The pool was small—only a foot wide—yet it emitted boundless radiance as it began to voraciously devour the Great Dao symbols in the sky.

“You—!” Ao Sheng was horrified.

For the first time, true terror gripped him. He had nearly “dissolved into the Dao,” sacrificing his flesh, burning his body, leaving only his essence blood intertwined with the Great Dao symbols.

Yet he was still at a disadvantage—the pool was pulling him in. If he were refined within, he would truly be doomed.

“ROAR!”

Ao Sheng howled, forced to resist with all his might. His essence blood, hidden within the Great Dao symbols, ignited as he reluctantly reformed his body, retreating backward.

“Where do you think you’re going?!”

Shi Hao was already upon him, summoning an ancient pool that fused countless secret arts, embodying the most fundamental truths—seeking to refine Ao Sheng.

At the same time, his true body struck, slamming a fist toward Ao Sheng at point-blank range.

**BANG!**

The collision was inevitable, erupting in blinding immortal light.

“AH—!”

Ao Sheng screamed as his body cracked—this was an Immortal King’s physique, yet it could not withstand Huang’s killing blow.

For Shi Hao had been holding nothing back, even activating the power of his third Supreme Bone, amplifying his lethality to terrifying heights.

“Brat, don’t get too arrogant!”

Tai Shi, the Immortal King, charged forward with a heavenly halberd, while Yuan Chu, eyes bloodshot, unleashed the other half of his primordial immortal light.

Ao Sheng, too, fought desperately, no longer resisting their aid—for alone, he was doomed!

“KILL!” Shi Hao roared.

He wielded all his knowledge, all his techniques, battling the three Immortal Kings.

His focus, however, remained on Ao Sheng—relentlessly assaulting him. Even when struck by Yuan Chu’s immortal light, he pressed on, determined to annihilate Ao Sheng.

**PFFT!**

Finally, Ao Sheng’s body exploded once more, his essence blood and Great Dao symbols coalescing in the distance.

“I may have lost, my body broken—but a supreme Immortal King is undying! You cannot truly kill me!” Ao Sheng said coldly.

Though furious, he was resigned—defeat was defeat. Yet a supreme Immortal King was nearly impossible to slay, so he was not overly worried.

“Be sealed!”

After the bloodiest of battles, Shi Hao finally used the pool to capture Ao Sheng’s soul and the radiant Great Dao symbols within.

“NO! This pool can harm my indestructible soul!” Ao Sheng panicked.

Only now did true dread fill his heart—Huang’s methods were too monstrous, capable of extinguishing even his soul-light!

**BANG!**

Shi Hao’s fist sent Tai Shi stumbling, his hair disheveled, his heavenly halberd nearly slipping from his grasp.

**PFFT!**

At last, Tai Shi coughed up blood, half his body cracked by Shi Hao’s strike, his blood blooming like crimson flowers in the void.

His halberd was knocked away—seized by Shi Hao in one swift motion.

**BOOM!**

When Shi Hao brandished it, it was as if the very world was being split apart—such was its terrifying might.

“Slay!”

Shi Hao refused to relent, pressing the assault.

After an earth-shaking battle, Tai Shi and Yuan Chu were also shattered, their bodies destroyed—yet as Immortal Kings, they were undying, capable of reforming their supreme avatars.

“Seal!”

Shi Hao roared, using the pool to capture their souls and Great Dao symbols as well, beginning the refinement.

The world fell silent. Only cosmic debris and stardust remained—the battlefield was a ruin.

Shi Hao sat cross-legged in the void, the pool before him misty and chaotic, containing all his divine runes as it refined the three Immortal Kings.

He frowned. Were supreme Immortal Kings truly unkillable?

He had heard rumors—to slay a supreme Immortal King, one needed special preparations, unique methods. Otherwise, they could always rise again.

“NO!”

Yet Ao Sheng, Tai Shi, and Yuan Chu did not share his doubts. From the moment they were sealed, an icy dread gripped them—their souls were being eroded.

It would take time, but in the end, death was inevitable.

**BOOM!**

The Immortal Realm was shaken—Huang, alone, had suppressed three Immortal Kings, sealing them within a mysterious ancient pool.

“Victory! Shi Hao has triumphed over three Immortal Kings!”

“Three old fools—this is your fate! Sealed by Huang, one by one, none shall escape!”

Mu Qing, the Godstone, and others cheered wildly. This was the slaying of Immortal Kings—Huang had succeeded!

“Let’s go! After five hundred thousand years, we can finally see him again!” The Heavenly Horned Ant’s eyes reddened.

At the same time, Princess Yao Yue, Tuo Gu Yu Long, Qing Yi, the Ten Crowned King, and others rushed toward him, eager for reunion.
