The azure sea surged, and the gathered heroes fell silent. This youth was simply too formidable—even Mo Xian and Han Tian might not be able to suppress him outright. His display had sent chills through the hearts of the sea’s inhabitants! How had such a prodigy suddenly emerged? It was utterly unexpected.
“Hey, don’t glare at me. It’s useless—I wasn’t raised to be scared,” Shi Hao said with a sidelong glance at the green-haired man, utterly indifferent to his hostility.
With a resounding *hum*, the sea trembled violently as the green-haired man struck. His gaze was icy—he was a powerful pure-blooded being, proud and unyielding. Having cultivated for many years, his strength was peerless. As one of the heirs of the ancient divine mountains, he had opened nine heavenly passages and mastered numerous divine abilities.
A storm of green runes enveloped him, and a divine bird let out a piercing cry. Its emerald wings shimmered brilliantly as it descended upon Shi Hao, wreathed in endless green flames that blotted out the sky—a manifestation of the Azure-Scaled Eagle’s supreme technique.
Shi Hao didn’t dare underestimate him. With a sweep of his hands, runes intertwined, forming a sea of thunder. Within it, a pair of violet-gold millstones materialized, rumbling as they crushed toward the divine bird.
Having reached the Spirit Transformation Realm, his comprehension and application of runes had undoubtedly soared. He could now more effortlessly deduce bone texts and treasure techniques. This was an evolution of the Lion-Dragon’s treasure technique—an extension of his deepened understanding. He aspired to greater heights, harboring grand ambitions, hoping one day to create a supreme art of his own.
The millstones rotated slowly, colossal and terrifying, seated within the roiling thunder sea as they ground toward the divine bird. A dazzling explosion of light erupted upon impact.
In the end, everything shattered. The green-haired youth staggered back, panting heavily, blood trickling from his lips. He had suffered a crushing defeat—outmatched by a mere teenager despite years of cultivation.
As a pure-blooded being, he had always swept through his peers with ease, unmatched by the ancient descendants or the creatures of the ancient kingdoms.
“Ah—!” The green-haired youth roared, his eyes icy, murderous intent soaring to the heavens. His body glowed as one creature after another emerged from his heavenly passages, encircling him. He manifested his spirit forms—his strongest techniques converging into a single, devastating assault.
Shi Hao frowned. His ten heavenly passages appeared simultaneously, forming a radiant divine halo that enveloped him like a blazing sun, exuding boundless terror.
“What?!” Many gasped, especially the sea clans who had no knowledge of his past. Witnessing ten heavenly passages, they immediately revered him as a young celestial deity.
Though only two of his passages housed tangible spirits—the others merely brimming with will and divine energy—it didn’t hinder his combat prowess. The ten passages merged into a divine sun, rendering him impervious to all techniques and capable of solidifying space itself.
“*Halt!*” he commanded, and the very void seemed to freeze. The ten passages fused into a boundless domain, an endless surge of divine energy and spiritual essence locking the green-haired youth in place.
“Ten heavenly passages… *ten heavenly passages!*” The sea clans trembled in awe.
“I knew it—this guy’s going all out again,” some land-dwelling creatures muttered, both sighing and anticipating whether he’d dare provoke a true sovereign.
“*Break!*” The green-haired youth roared, transforming into an Azure-Scaled Eagle midair, struggling to escape the confinement. His spirit forms writhed, trying to break free.
*Boom!*
Shi Hao advanced, his divine halo shielding him like a radiant sun. He strode across the sea, each step shaking the void.
*Bang! Bang! Bang!*
The Azure-Scaled Eagle’s manifested techniques—the ancient creatures—were shattered one by one, none escaping destruction beneath his fists.
In the sky, the Azure-Scaled Eagle coughed blood, his spirit forms annihilated, his true form wounded. He now understood why this youth was so “ruthless”—he was a true young supreme, unmatched among his peers.
Such talents were rare even in the ancient divine mountains. Once they emerged, they rivaled their ancestors, destined for legendary glory.
With a final desperate effort, he broke free, escaping the absolute suppression of the ten heavenly passages—a testament to his own formidable power.
But he wasn’t entirely free.
From within Shi Hao’s divine halo, a Leviathan Roc emerged, rapidly expanding to blot out the heavens.
Gasps erupted from the crowd—many mistook it for the true Leviathan Roc’s inheritance emerging from the nest.
In the sky, the two divine birds clashed violently.
*Splat!*
Blood rained down as the Leviathan Roc severed one of the Azure-Scaled Eagle’s wings, claiming it as a trophy. The wounded eagle crashed into the distant sea, surrounded by protectors.
Among them, an elder glared toward Shi Hao, his eyes blazing like divine flames—terrifying.
Many shuddered. Could that be an ancient sovereign? Even if his cultivation was suppressed here, his presence was undeniable.
“Ugh, more Azure-Scaled Eagle meat? Last time, I gorged on it with that gluttonous witch all night—I’m sick of it,” the holy terror grumbled, reluctantly storing the massive wing in his spatial pouch.
The opposing group’s killing intent surged like an icy tide. They hailed from the ancient divine mountains—how dare he treat them as prey?!
“Stop glaring. If you hadn’t provoked me, this wouldn’t have happened. I’m not a punching bag—if you’re my enemy, be ready to sacrifice,” Shi Hao said coolly.
At this point, few dared challenge him outright. Even the ancient divine mountain’s forces hesitated—this holy terror was too ruthless.
Perhaps only that prodigy who had left the Desolate Wasteland could rival him in the same realm.
Shi Hao turned, his gaze settling on a gray-robed elder in the distance—the same one he and the witch had robbed two years prior.
Was this truly the Flood Dragon Sovereign’s real body, not just a spirit form?
“Heh…” Shi Hao grinned foolishly, amused that a supreme powerhouse had once fallen victim to their plunder.
The Flood Dragon Sovereign seethed. This damnable brat’s gaze was infuriating—hadn’t their past grievances been enough?
Soon, the holy terror turned away, striding toward the grand altar where the Sea God’s descendant stood.
“Why so cold? Doesn’t standing there all day tire you out?” he called.
Mo Xian remained silent, but his battle halberd pointed unerringly at Shi Hao’s brow. Even after witnessing his might, he showed no fear—confident in his invincibility over these waters.
Ignoring him, Shi Hao circled the altar, runes flaring as he repelled approaching sea creatures.
“This altar’s nice. How about you step down and let me take a turn?”
He recognized it as a war platform—once the Leviathan Roc’s nest split, it would grant the wielder supreme advantage in battle and teleportation.
“You seek death. Ascend and perish!” Mo Xian hissed, his golden armor gleaming, his azure hair flowing like water. He stood like a deity, exuding unshakable majesty.
Unfazed, Shi Hao asked earnestly, “What’s your true form? A fish? A turtle? Or maybe a flood dragon? How’s the taste?”
The crowd froze. This guy was utterly fearless—and bizarrely obsessed with food!
Even the hidden sovereigns watched with interest. This ruthless child was an anomaly, yet undeniably powerful.
To dare ask the Sea God’s descendant such a question—was he selecting ingredients?!
“Come and die!” Mo Xian roared, his halberd slashing down, treating Shi Hao like mere prey.
*Clang!*
Shi Hao’s fist met the halberd, the metallic clash thundering across the sea, igniting runes in the air.
The first exchange was even—neither gained the upper hand.
Mo Xian swung again, his strikes domineering. Shi Hao dodged, then lunged for the altar, his ten heavenly passages merging into a blazing sun that shielded him as he landed atop it.
A peak battle erupted. The two prodigies clashed on the grand altar, their symbols lighting up the sky.
*Boom!*
Shi Hao punched the halberd, then aimed for Mo Xian’s face. The Sea God’s descendant blocked with his palm—their first direct physical collision.
Light erupted, dazzling as two deities clashed.
“So strong!” the crowd marveled.
Even the violet-clad maiden Yun Xi was stunned. For even this holy terror to meet his match—the Sea God’s lineage was terrifyingly powerful.
The sea clans were even more shaken. Mo Xian was their invincible young god—yet now, he had a rival!
The sovereigns watched intently. These two youths were exceptional, their auras swallowing mountains and rivers.
*Boom!*
Both shone like golden deities, their clash shaking the heavens.
Regardless of the outcome, Shi Hao had risen—capable of contending with Mo Xian, a feat that would shake the seas.
*Crack!*
A deafening sound split the air. The sea quaked, waves towering as an indescribable presence awakened—as if a supreme being had revived.
“It’s splitting! The Leviathan Roc’s nest is breaking open!”
On the reef, the massive black nest glowed golden, fissures spreading until it threatened to shatter entirely.
The final inheritance was about to emerge!
