“At the very least, for many, the Immortal Hall deserves the title of Sovereign’s domain.” Huang Yu spoke slowly, his tone soft, a kind smile on his face.
Having arrived in this desolate land, Shi Hao no longer retreated or fled. From this point onward, there was only one path—battle. Escape was impossible.
“I truly hope I am the sole disciple of the Supreme Supreme SovereignHall. One day, I shall ascend to the Upper Realms and overturn the so-called Sovereign’s Immortal Hall!” Shi Hao declared.
The creatures of the Upper Realms were too arrogant, especially those of the Immortal Hall who were conceited beyond measure. They casually dispatched an elderly servant to the Lower Realm, saying he could effortlessly eliminate Shi Hao. How lofty their posture!
“Enough, let us fight here. If you continue to retreat, I shall return to Stone Kingdom’s capital and consume a million lives to appease my hunger slightly,” Huang Yu said.
Clad in his ancient Daoist robe, fluttering in the wind, his gray-white hair flowing, the smile on his face turned cold. He stood with hands behind his back, ready to end Shi Hao’s life.
“Yield your life!” Shi Hao roared. He had to defeat this old servant, or else his parents, his loved ones, and even the entire Stone Kingdom would be in grave danger. The members of the Immortal Hall acted recklessly because they were too powerful, unafraid of retaliation.
In his hands, the Divine War Halberdglowed, shifting from jet black to golden yellow, its blade gleaming with a deadly aura. A Divine Artifacts of true gods, radiating powerful divine waves.
“Slash!”
He swung his war Halberd, releasing a terrifying beam of light. The Divine Artifact awakened, shining with mighty divine brilliance, like a cascade of stars descending from the heavens.
However, the old servant, his hands behind his back, extended only one palm. With a gentle press through the void, the incoming murderous light was instantly extinguished.
His palm was rough, glowing with a pale yellow radiance, resembling a grinding disc that completely dispersed the mighty power of the Divine War Halberd.
Shi Hao felt a chill. This old servant was far stronger than Yang Li, the Armadillo, the God of the Underworld, or Silver Wings. Indeed, a single man could equal the strength of several gods combined.
“Let’s see just how powerful your Indestructible Golden Body Armor and your Supreme Supreme SovereignBone truly are,” Huang Yu said calmly.
Shi Hao sighed. Even such a secret weapon was already known to his opponent. Frustrating, indeed. The Indestructible Golden Body Armor would no longer serve as a surprise.
From his body emerged a black metallic war armor, covering his skin. Black divine flames danced atop it as the Indestructible Golden Body Armor awakened fully, radiating brilliant light.
Now that his enemy was aware, pretending to be weaker would only lead to self-destruction. Only by fighting with all his might could he confront Huang Yu.
Perhaps, he was destined to be soaked in blood, for his enemy seemed nearly invincible. Shi Hao’s gaze turned resolute. His entire body shimmered with countless symbols, his divine arts gathering power. His vitality blazed, ready to unleash his ultimate potential in a decisive battle to the death.
“Fascinating. For one so young, achieving such a level is truly remarkable. Unfortunately, the young are too impulsive. They rarely live long,” Huang Yu remarked calmly, striding forward.
“Die!”
Shi Hao shouted, his voice like a sword’s cry, causing the void to resonate. He channeled all his vitality, his flesh burning with divine energy. The Divine Artifact roared into action, launching its most terrifying strike.
This golden war Halberdcame to life like a ferocious beast, its massive golden form emerging, scales gleaming, horns menacing, roaring toward the sky.
“Roar…”
The Halberdlunged forward in a cleaving strike.
The golden beast roared, swooping down with a colossal body the size of mountains. Its pair of gleaming horns merged with the Halberd’s edge, charging at Huang Yu.
“A powerful beast! A mighty Halberd!” Huang Yu nodded, his figure shifting sideways, avoiding the Front viewimpact of the Divine Artifact. Sidestepping, he swept one hand forward.
“Clang!”
His finger struck the side of the Halberdblade, like the sharpest weapon imaginable. The metallic resonance was deafening. Countless runes filled the air, nearly shattering the skies.
Shi Hao staggered back, blood dripping from his palm, his tiger-bone fist split open. His foe had some secret art that pierced through the Halberdand injured him directly.
Had the Indestructible Golden Body Armor not absorbed ninety percent of the force, he might have been in grave danger.
Shi Hao was alarmed. This old man was utterly on a different level than Yang Li, the Armadillo, or the God of the Underworld. He was far superior, even capable of parrying a Divine Artifact with bare hands. If this was just the beginning, how could he possibly fight on!
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, Shi Hao noticed a thumb ring on Huang Yu’s finger, from which a strange glow emanated, giving his hand an aura of mystic brilliance.
“Did he use a magical artifact’s power?” Shi Hao exhaled in relief. If the old man could truly match a Divine Artifact with bare hands, there would be no hope at all.
“Old age makes one cautious. Even if my body could withstand a Divine Artifact, I wouldn’t risk it,” Huang Yu smiled, his wrinkled face relaxing.
The next moment, killing intent surged like the sea. Huang Yu became a streak of light, diving forward and unleashing his full power.
In a true battle of life and death, there was no time to catch one’s breath. Once begun, the heavens would collapse and the earth would quake. And now it began!
Shi Hao roared, and beside him, broken swords hovered in the air, golden Daoist swords rising. All swirled around him, radiating his ultimate might.
One after another, emerald grasses took root in the void, emitting radiant light that pierced the heavens. Each blade was a divine sword, cleaving through the endless skies.
“Chi!”
All sword energies surged upward, breathtakingly brilliant. Around Shi Hao, countless beams soared skyward. He was like a reborn True Phoenix, all feathers unfurling, dazzling and majestic.
Huang Yu charged, and the moment he entered, he was swallowed by an endless torrent of sword beams.
Yet unexpectedly, the old servant from the Immortal Hall moved with uncanny speed, flickering in and out dozens of times, shifting positions rapidly, dodging the onslaught, finally closing the gap.
Undoubtedly, his true form was a fierce beast of flight, possessing extreme speed, which enabled him to move this fast.
“Annihilate!”
The old servant roared, extending his hand to strike forward. A golden claw materialized, razor-sharp, reaching for Shi Hao’s true body, aiming to capture and kill him.
In an instant, fierce and relentless. The old servant’s combat prowess surpassed all expectations!
“Slash the Stars!”
Shi Hao roared, unleashing the highest sword intent he had ever mastered. Before him, emerald grass soared, runes splitting the heavens and the earth, emitting eternal brilliance, dimming the sun and moon.
The Kun Peng flapped its wings. The Suanni spat lightning. The grass sword soared, merging into one, condensing into the shape of a single blade of grass, manifesting a rune, unleashing its terrifying power!
“Ah?” Huang Yu was startled. The sharp golden claw struck downward, colliding with the grass sword. Countless runes flared between them, blazing intensely.
Shi Hao spat blood, retreating in shock. His body trembled violently. The power gap was too great. No matter how fiercely he fought, he couldn’t bridge the difference.
Huang Yu charged like a ghost, his expression grim. “Speak! Did you obtain a beast-hide scroll and learn half of the ‘Grass Script Sword Intent?'”
“What’s it to you!” Shi Hao replied, though his heart stirred.
“Have you unlocked the ‘Six Paths…’ secret?” Huang Yu stared at him intently.
In the past, Shi Hao had indeed obtained a beast-hide scroll within the Virtual Realm. He had tried multiple times to unlock its mini-world but failed, only seeing the words “Six Paths” appear.
“What are the Six Paths? Why don’t you finish your sentence?” Shi Hao asked.
“You’ve only learned half the Grass Script Sword Intent. I suspect you haven’t yet unlocked the inner world of that scroll. No matter. Today, I shall kill you and explore it myself,” the old servant said.
In a flash, Huang Yu darted forward. With a booming roar, golden divine feathers erupted from his body, flying like countless arrows!
Shi Hao whirled his war Halberd, creating a golden whirlwind to block the golden feathers. In the process, he soared skyward, employing the Kun Peng technique to evade.
Yet the old man was too swift—like a divine rainbow charging through the air, striding atop waves of energy. With a flash from his forehead, a beam of crimson light shot forth—a mental attack.
Shi Hao evaded, transforming into a Suanni, spewing runes to resist.
In no time, the skies were filled with lightning, everywhere crackling with rolling thunder, obliterating the old man’s divine consciousness.
“Young one, hasty decisions will cost dearly!” The elder coldly declared. With a flap of his arms, they transformed into golden wings, resembling divine swords cleaving through the lightning toward Shi Hao.
He was a ferocious beast of prey, revealing part of his true form—radiating unmatched majesty, immense and mighty.
Rolling thunder—indeed powerful, capable of reducing beings of equal rank to ash. Yet Huang Yu was far stronger, transcending his tier, making him extremely difficult to defeat.
The divine wings slashed downward, sword qi nearing his body. Shi Hao immediately felt as though he was about to be severed. He unfurled his Kun Peng wings, shooting skyward dozens of miles, barely evading the strike.
Suddenly glancing back, he realized the old man moved too fast, already right behind him again. A true ancient ferocious beast, far surpassing beings of the same level.
Shi Hao’s eyes flashed with icy light. He quickly turned, diving downward, charging straight at the old man. Perhaps only by employing the Supreme Supreme SovereignBone could he stand a chance now.
Huang Yu’s eyes shot forth cold glints. From a distance, he unleashed a divine art, roaring a mouthful of runes into the sky, all hurtling toward Shi Hao.
He was cautious, wary only of Shi Hao’s Supreme Supreme SovereignBone, unwilling to directly confront it recklessly.
“Hmm! Something’s wrong!” Huang Yu furrowed his brow, sensing a dangerous aura approaching.
He turned sharply and saw several violet rune bones materialize in the Void. They had been concealed there before, and he had unknowingly passed through them. Only now did he sense them.
“Crystals of high-ranking divine beings, fused together with divine bones, forged into deadly weapons!” His heart pounded wildly as he darted aside.
But it was too late. Shi Hao had placed them during his escape, hidden in the Void. Now, they erupted in full force.
“Boom!”
The area exploded. The Voidwrithed, the entire sky blurred. Huang Yu was caught in the center, naturally absorbing the most terrifying impact.
Shi Hao retrieved his divine eye, piercing through the Void. He saw Huang Yu’s Daoist robes torn, blood flowing from his body amidst the storm, yet very much alive.
Perhaps, he wasn’t even severely injured!
“Tsk. A mere disposable weapon of destruction—do you think that can kill me? Naive! It cannot even wound me seriously,” Huang Yu said coldly.
Shi Hao inhaled sharply but wasted no time. Relying on the divine eye, he pierced through the storm, diving from the periphery to confront Huang Yu head-on.
At this moment, his chest glowed. He invoked the Supreme Supreme SovereignBone—it might be his only chance, to strike while chaos reigned!
