It wasn’t that the Reincarnation Glyphs were weak, but rather the True God’s realm was too high. Shi Hao was only at the Venerable level, so he couldn’t suppress and kill her.
“You dare chase me down? Die!” the War Clan woman roared, her body glowing with surging divine power. However, her flesh couldn’t withstand the strain and began to crack rapidly.
To her shock, despite her immense divine energy and the countless symbols raining down on Shi Hao, this time, she failed to deal a decisive blow.
Shi Hao coughed up blood but held firm. He possessed the ability to nullify divine power, but since his opponent was a True God, he couldn’t completely erase all her symbols.
With a fierce cry, Shi Hao closed the distance, his fists erupting with unparalleled divine might. Such physical force could shatter a mountain into dust.
The War Clan woman’s heart pounded in terror. Her divine power was being neutralized, and she was already on the brink of death, her high cultivation useless now.
Blood gushed from her wounds as her reckless use of divine power caused her body to split apart. She was in dire peril.
**”Boom!”**
She blocked with her hand, only for her fingers to go numb from the impact. Shi Hao’s physical strength was terrifying—unthinkable for a mere Venerable.
That single strike made the War Clan woman stagger, her body splitting in multiple places, blood spraying high. She was moments from disintegration.
Her wounds were too severe—broken bones, torn tendons, and parts of her body nearly detached. This final shock pushed her to the brink.
“An ant like you dares trample over me? You seek death!” she snarled, her brow glowing as symbols manifested and branded toward Shi Hao.
Yet Shi Hao pulled out his alchemy furnace, enlarging it to block the incoming symbols.
He had suffered in the first exchange, not expecting her to be so formidable even in death. Spitting blood, he decided not to take further risks and unleashed his treasure.
**”Clang!”**
The furnace trembled, resonating deeply.
Shi Hao clenched his fists again, preparing for the final strike.
**”Boom!”**
His hands moved as if pushing stars, radiant and sacred. His fists roared, unstoppable and divine.
The War Clan woman grunted. Though she blocked with her arms, her chest split open, her shoulder shattered, and her head bore a ghastly wound. She looked like shattered porcelain barely held together.
“Die!” Shi Hao bellowed, swinging his legs like twin dragons, a technique from the Yuan Heaven Secret Realm—a divine ability recorded on the azure bone scripture.
With divine power useless, Shi Hao relied purely on physical force. His legs lashed out like whips, striking her body.
**”Pfft!”**
Finally, the War Clan woman collapsed, her body cracking apart, blood blooming in dozens of places as she disintegrated.
“I refuse to accept this!” she howled in rage. Had the Bone God not crippled her, how could this happen? Dying at the hands of a Venerable was the ultimate humiliation for a True God.
“Too bad. Suffer!” Shi Hao said coldly, pressing his assault. His divine immunity was about to expire.
**”Boom!”**
His next punch tore through her, her right shoulder breaking off.
**”Crack!”**
A spinning kick followed, and the War Clan woman finally shattered, her body exploding into pieces.
“You’re coming with me!”
As her head fell, her brow ignited with divine fire, seeking to drag Shi Hao into death with her.
Shocked, Shi Hao hadn’t expected her soul to still hold such power after the Bone God’s final roar.
**”Swoosh!”**
His right hand struck like a blade, knocking her head away before kicking it into the furnace and slamming the lid shut.
Lightning crackled, curses surged, and soon, the roars inside ceased.
Shaking the furnace, a charred head fell out, crumbling to dust.
The remnants of her body on the stone mountain were set ablaze by Shi Hao’s innate Dao flames.
Clean and decisive—he had slain a True God. In his hand, a golden fruit glowed, its rich fragrance invigorating every pore.
“You killed her?”
When Yun Xi emerged from the cauldron and saw the aftermath, she was stunned. This wasn’t just a Divine Flame expert—this was a True One powerhouse, yet she had been slain!
Rumors spoke of peak Venerable prodigies killing Divine Flame experts, but never had anyone slain a True One superpower.
And this youth before her wasn’t even at the peak of the Venerable realm.
It was unbelievable!
Yun Xi, usually poised and graceful, gaped at him like he was a monster.
“I told you—I’m an undefeated legend. How about it? Follow me, and I’ll teach you,” Shi Hao teased.
Yun Xi puffed her cheeks, her fair face a mix of emotions. After a long pause, she exhaled, “How did you do it?”
“The Bone God nearly killed her. I just finished the job,” Shi Hao said casually, omitting the danger. Had his immunity lapsed a moment later, he would have died.
“Alright,” Yun Xi nodded, deeply impressed. Regardless, a youth slaying a True God was mythic—news of this would shake the ancient sects.
Shi Hao swelled with pride. At seventeen, this was his greatest feat.
“Let’s go,” he called to Yun Xi.
“Leaving the ancient battlefield?” she asked, frowning. Killing a True God would enrage the War Clan.
“First, we hunt a Dragon Sparrow, then we leave,” Shi Hao declared, pulling her toward a mountain range at lightning speed.
“You’re still fighting?” Yun Xi was stunned.
In the mountains, Shi Hao followed blood trails, licking his lips in excitement.
Yun Xi nearly fainted. “You’re hunting it… to eat it?”
“Obviously!”
His shameless confidence left her speechless. What kind of person was this?
Despite losing the trail at one point, Shi Hao’s hunting instincts prevailed. Two hours later, they found the gravely wounded Dragon Sparrow.
It had lost its wings, one claw shattered, barely alive.
“You… seek death!” it hissed, alert despite its state.
“Spare the threats. I’ve already killed one like you. Came specifically for you,” Shi Hao said flatly.
The Dragon Sparrow’s eyes turned icy. Though wingless, it levitated with divine power, ready to fight or flee.
“Fighting me will cost your lives!”
Shi Hao sneered. “Your Hundred Avian Mercenaries chased me relentlessly. Time to repay the debt—killing their leader is perfect.”
He had Yun Xi hide in the cauldron before the battle began.
Even near death, the Dragon Sparrow fought fiercely. In the end, Shi Hao pierced its body, but it plunged into the furnace, cursed and charred by lightning.
He groaned—inedible now! What a waste!
After disposing of the corpse, he released Yun Xi, sulking.
She wanted to scream. This was a legendary feat, yet he was upset over… food?
They fled swiftly, knowing the battlefield would soon erupt in chaos. Two True Gods dead, the Golden Bodhi Fruit revealed—retribution would come.
Days later, they entered the Bloody Plains’ largest ancient battlefield—200,000 miles wide, a cursed land where even treasures failed.
Here, they hoped to hide.
The eerie battlefield was littered with dangers, guarded by skeletal True Gods, like a realm of the dead.
**”Boom!”**
Two days later, a terrifying ripple shook the plains, as if the heavens collapsed.
“What is that?” Shi Hao gasped.
The sky blazed with radiant symbols, as if three thousand great worlds were unfolding. Divine and demonic figures surrounded a luminous being, chanting as if to a supreme deity.
“The Ancient Ancestor… has revived!” Yun Xi trembled, overjoyed. Their salvation had come.
“Wait!” Shi Hao yanked her back, his gaze locked on the distant sky.
Another colossal figure loomed there, seated, filling the heavens. Stars orbited his form, exuding an aura of ancient supremacy.
“What… is that?” Yun Xi shuddered.
“The War Emperor… one still lives in this world!” she realized, trembling. A mythic existence, the progenitor of the War Clan!
