“How dare you!” Shi Hao’s sword-like brows furrowed, his gaze sharp as blades. After so many years, he had finally reunited with Huo Ling’er, yet Hong Di sought to strike her down. Unforgivable!
He had prepared for this moment. A blaze of radiant light erupted as his divine power enveloped Huo Ling’er, tearing through the ancient summoning hall as he burst forth at breakneck speed.
**Boom!**
At the same time, Cang Di struck. His gray hair billowed as he soared through the air, delivering a domineering punch toward Shi Hao.
Shi Hao’s true form moved to shield Huo Ling’er, unleashing a torrent of supreme secret techniques. His entire body blazed like scorching flames, reducing countless celestial bodies beyond the heavens to dust.
**Swoosh!**
Yu Di joined the fray, standing atop an ancient war chariot, his sacred wings flaring with divine radiance. His Imperial Spear dripped with blood, emitting an eerie crimson glow as it pierced through the cosmos toward Shi Hao.
Any one of these figures could annihilate an entire realm. Now, with three supreme experts converging upon Shi Hao, the battlefield became a scene of unparalleled terror.
**Boom!**
The very fabric of space shattered. Stars beyond the heavens vaporized into nothingness as primordial chaos surged violently, as if the world had returned to the dawn of creation.
Collision after collision!
Shi Hao staggered, coughing blood under the relentless assault of the three emperors. A single misstep would mean his demise.
**Boom!**
Imperial-level forces tore through the space around him, making every movement agonizing. Though his divine power shielded Huo Ling’er, he could not bring her to safety.
Worse still, Hong Di’s threat loomed largest—his sole intent was to slay Huo Ling’er, exploiting the momentary distraction caused by the other two quasi-Immortal Emperors.
This was their tacit agreement: to shatter Shi Hao’s resolve by executing Huo Ling’er before his eyes.
**Crack!**
Under the crushing pressure of Hong Di’s colossal palm, the void itself splintered. The protective light around Huo Ling’er flickered, on the verge of extinguishing.
**”Aaaargh!”**
Shi Hao roared like a wounded beast. From the boiling cauldron of laws above his head, a sword embryo shot forth, slashing forward as he fought with desperate fury.
Amidst blinding radiance, Shi Hao charged, repelling Cang Di and assaulting Hong Di. Yet in doing so, he left his back exposed—Yu Di’s spear pierced through his shoulder, drenching him in blood.
This was no ordinary spear, but an Imperial weapon of unparalleled lethality!
Shi Hao’s shoulder blade exploded, blood spraying across the starry sky as the earth beneath him collapsed from the sheer force of the strike.
But at this cost, he reached Hong Di, clashing with him in a single, earth-shaking exchange.
**Boom!**
Shi Hao intercepted the fatal blow meant for Huo Ling’er, locking against Hong Di as primordial forces erupted between them.
The backlash of their clash was catastrophic. The light shielding Huo Ling’er finally dimmed, and her form shattered into fragments.
This was her soul—if her essence dispersed, she would perish!
**”ROAR!”**
Shi Hao’s bellow shook the Ultimate Ancient Land. He unleashed boundless life force, weaving creation itself to halt Huo Ling’er’s march toward death.
**”Huang, prepare to die!”**
Cang Di’s voice thundered as he struck again, his palm radiating terrifying light.
**”A mere woman. Your attachments will be your downfall!”** Hong Di sneered, his own strike descending with even greater brilliance.
**”Clang!”**
Yu Di remained silent, thrusting his spear once more. The crimson light tore through the cosmos, unstoppable and devastating.
**Thud!**
Despite deploying countless defenses, Shi Hao coughed blood under the combined assault.
That had been too close.
He barely evaded the trio’s onslaught. Though Huo Ling’er’s essence had fractured, his creation arts had already begun piecing her back together.
**”Shi Hao!”** Huo Ling’er wept, consumed by terror and anguish. In those fleeting moments of battle, she had witnessed him endure a trial of life and death—all for her sake.
His left shoulder had been obliterated, torn apart by Yu Di’s spear and laws.
**”Don’t throw your life away for me. Please… don’t die.”** Her voice trembled with desperation.
She even considered returning to the dark prison, fearing she would only burden him further.
**”This battle will reshape heaven and earth. The summoning halls, the dark prisons—none may survive. How could I leave you there?”**
Shi Hao’s silent reply carried resolve.
**”Huang, you are formidable.”** Hong Di’s voice dripped with icy malice. **”But your sentimentality will be your end.”**
Shi Hao frowned, his senses probing the dark prisons through the summoning hall. He sought Meng Tianzheng—his mentor, the one who had guided him onto the path of *Using the Body as a Seed*.
Without Meng Tianzheng, there would be no Huang Tian Di today.
At last, he found him and tore open the prison’s gates.
As he had told Huo Ling’er, this battle would rend the heavens. He could not risk losing those trapped in the collapsing prisons.
This time, Shi Hao did not free one or two—he liberated entire legions of tormented souls.
**”Return!”**
His roar shook the heavens as he shielded Meng Tianzheng and others, fighting his way out.
**Boom!**
Hong Di struck again, his merciless palm blotting out the sky, intent on crushing Meng Tianzheng’s essence.
Another brutal clash ensued.
To save the Grand Elder, Shi Hao had to pay a dire price.
Amidst divine radiance, spear thrusts, and surging purple energy, he battled the three quasi-Immortal Emperors. Meng Tianzheng’s essence fractured once more.
Shi Hao himself bore ghastly wounds—gaping holes, searing palm imprints, and fist-sized punctures. These were injuries inflicted by quasi-Immortal Emperors, wounds that would obliterate lesser beings.
Only through such sacrifice did he preserve Meng Tianzheng’s essence, pulling him to safety.
Standing afar, Shi Hao silently mended his flesh, though the lingering imperial laws resisted his healing.
**”Too many attachments. You will die wretchedly.”** Hong Di’s judgment was merciless.
**”Then let us gift you one more tragedy.”** Yu Di, still atop his chariot, raised his spear and commanded: **”March upon the Immortal Domain!”**
At his order, an army emerged from the horizon—dark, mighty, led by fallen Immortal Kings.
Shi Hao’s gaze turned glacial. Among them, he saw Meng Tianzheng’s body—now a Fallen Immortal King, radiating overwhelming dark energy.
**”Fallen Kings!”**
Meng Tianzheng had ascended to this rank in two million years.
Shi Hao was not entirely surprised. After all, Meng Tianzheng had achieved immortality in an era where it was deemed impossible.
Like Shi Hao, he had once walked the path of *Using the Body as a Seed*.
**”Retrieve our people from beyond the Sea of Annihilation. Slaughter any who resist.”** Yu Di’s decree was chilling.
This was a massacre in the making. Should these Fallen Kings reach the other shore, a cataclysm would unfold.
**”As you command!”**
Their unified response shook the Ultimate Ancient Land.
Deep within this realm, an army had lain in wait.
**”Woo—”**
A horn sounded, and the Sea of Annihilation trembled. Waves surged as divine runes ignited, carving a path across the waters.
This was no ordinary crossing. The army would not spend millennia traversing the sea—the summoning halls had forged a direct route.
Shi Hao remained still, watching.
Then, his pupils contracted. Another familiar face emerged—Wang Changsheng, now an Immortal King.
**”You remember me?”** Shi Hao’s voice was frost.
**”Of course. I have always been myself,”** Wang Changsheng replied with a sinister smile. **”Though my bones once scattered the borderlands.”**
**”Qin Hao’s bones… Mu Changsheng… I claimed them all.”**
**”You deserve death!”** Shi Hao snarled.
Then—
A sudden betrayal.
Meng Tianzheng, among the Fallen Kings, whirled and struck. A crescent blade flashed, severing Wang Changsheng’s head and shattering his soul.
Even the three quasi-Immortal Emperors froze in shock.
Shi Hao moved instantly. He had anticipated this—after all, even in darkness, Meng Tianzheng had once saved him.
Some who fell to darkness retained fragments of their former selves.
**”Die!”**
Shi Hao’s fist descended. Wang Changsheng, even as an Immortal King, was obliterated before a quasi-Imperial strike.
Meng Tianzheng’s body was swiftly pulled to safety.
The three emperors did not intervene, lost in contemplation over this anomaly.
**”Kill!”**
The battle erupted anew.
Shi Hao, alone against three quasi-Immortal Emperors, fought with unrelenting fury. Imperial blood painted the heavens as the conflict escalated to its zenith.
