Shi Hao showed no fear. His forehead glowed with the dense aura of the Sinful Blood, and now that he had publicly slain a disciple of the Sword Valley who despised the descendants of the Sinful Blood, it was nothing major.
“Brother, leave quickly, or Gu Jianyun might return!” someone warned.
“With the Sin character condensed on my forehead, illuminating the heavens, isn’t this the perfect way to kill her, befitting my identity?” Shi Hao said, sweeping his gaze across the gathered heroes like a demon king reigning over the land.
Many trembled. The mysterious symbol condensed on his forehead, manifesting such an anomaly, was indeed rare—a true “sinner beyond redemption.”
In ancient times, this would have been the most shocking and ominous sign!
“Be careful! Gu Jianyun is unmatched!” another descendant of the Sinful Blood anxiously whispered in warning.
Shi Hao remained silent, his expression calm, but the symbol on his forehead burned even brighter.
Everyone was shaken. This descendant of the Sinful Blood, with his domineering demeanor, seemed to be sending a signal—was he declaring himself the representative of the Sinful Blood lineage?
“This is not sin—it is glory and radiance, the mark of past brilliance!”
True to his words, the young man spoke with resounding force, his voice ringing like a declaration, as if announcing it to the world.
“This is no disgrace. It carries the blood and fire of the past. In another world, this symbol represents the most dazzling glory and achievements.”
Shi Hao’s gaze swept over the crowd.
Many from the great sects lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.
“Those who call us descendants of the Sinful Blood—do you truly understand what you are doing?” Shi Hao’s voice was low, then turned cold. “Who dares to judge me? Who dares to condemn me? Come at me if you dare!”
This was an outright challenge, defying the order established by the great sects!
To the elders of those sects, this was an extremely dangerous signal—a terrifying youth had emerged among the descendants of the Sinful Blood, daring to challenge the new rules!
Under the bright moonlight, the young man stood alone on the broken cliff, his robes fluttering, a beam of light shooting from his forehead into the heavens, exuding overwhelming dominance.
Gu Jianyun did not return. His duel with Chang Gongyan ended with both vanishing, leaving the crowd in speculation and shock.
Shi Hao did not linger either and soon departed.
In a desolate place, he cleaved the sky with his Void Battle Halberd and vanished from Fire City.
Sure enough, shortly after his departure, a Heavenly God arrived, astonished. In such a short time, the Sin character that had pierced the clouds had appeared for the second time.
Some factions in Sin Province were hopeful, while the powerful from other provinces wore uncertain expressions.
“Too late again!” a Heavenly God sighed.
This person had to be found. A Sin character manifesting in the sky was an occurrence rarely seen since ancient times—perhaps even unprecedented in recent history. It was simply too shocking.
This night would not be peaceful.
The battle between Gu Jianyun and Chang Gongyan shook the Upper Realm. Many leaders of ancient orthodoxies personally inquired about the details of the two and their fight.
Neither belonged to this era, yet their clash shattered the void, causing both to disappear from the scene—truly awe-inspiring!
Of course, some believed it was mainly due to one of them wielding an unparalleled sword forged from immortal metal. With such a weapon, nothing was impossible.
Everyone was watching, but the outcome of their battle remained unknown—no one had witnessed the result.
By dawn, news arrived: the heir of the Sword Valley was practicing his swordplay under the golden morning light, stirring a radiant glow that resonated with the mountains and rivers, shaking Sin Province!
“Is this… an epiphany from the battle? Has he advanced further?” The crowd was stunned.
Even Heavenly Gods were taken aback. The dazzling sword light harmonized with all things in the world, becoming one—this was truly astonishing.
At such a young age, he had already attained such enlightenment?!
They sensed that once Gu Jianyun became a deity, his combat prowess would be terrifying beyond measure!
Chang Gongyan also reappeared, calm as if nothing had happened. He watched the sunrise and sunset before walking away.
“Some mysterious deities are targeting him, intending harm!” came the news.
What happened next left everyone dumbfounded. Chang Gongyan returned to simplicity, walking the earth alone. At first, nothing seemed unusual, but soon, those malevolent deities lost track of him, helplessly watching him vanish.
“Powerful deities tried to act, yet they could only watch as he merged into the world and disappeared!”
This naturally caused a stir, sending waves through the great sects. A sect leader sighed—this man had grown into a force destined to shine brilliantly in the world!
These words did not come from an ordinary sect leader but from the leader of the Western Sect, one of the Upper Realm’s most supreme orthodoxies. This undoubtedly triggered an earthquake.
The appearance of Chang Gongyan and Gu Jianyun made people realize how terrifying the ancient supreme geniuses were—invincible in their time for good reason!
Only now did people truly feel the pressure, the helplessness. A single figure like this might be enough to suppress all the young elites of the current era!
After the heir of the Immortal Palace fused with his supreme body, would he become invincible?
But any of the ancient monsters sealed away could shatter the heavens—all were of this caliber, if not stronger!
The young talents of the great sects all felt an intangible pressure, one that seemed insurmountable.
As the night passed and the morning sun shone brightly, rumors spread everywhere, leaving no one at ease.
Of course, aside from Gu Jianyun and Chang Gongyan, another figure was the cause of this storm.
The descendant of the Sinful Blood, with the Sin character condensed on his forehead, illuminating the heavens, shaking the world—his emergence was on par with the news of the two ancient geniuses.
Many speculated about his identity—he couldn’t possibly be unknown.
“Some at the scene thought he resembled Huang in demeanor—perhaps it’s him!”
This was merely speculation, unconfirmed, discussed only by a few.
But everyone knew that once they entered the Ancient Immortal Realm, all secrets would be revealed. For certain reasons, no one could hide their true selves there.
“Whoever he is, his identity will be exposed.”
“I even suspect Huang has other identities. Soon, no matter who he is, he won’t be able to hide.”
…
On this day, as the news spread, not all young talents felt powerless. Some were excited, their battle blood burning.
“Crack!”
Before a purple mountain, a crimson-haired youth, wild and untamed, shattered his shackles, breaking them with sheer force.
Nearby, an old servant was horrified. Those were divine chains forged from supreme materials, infused with rules and order—even True Gods couldn’t break them. Yet the young man had torn them apart.
“The old man locked me up to stop me from causing trouble, but he couldn’t hold me. Time to kill! The Great Blazing Heaven Art has reached an unprecedented level—how can I not let it shine upon the world?”
He laughed wildly, his demeanor savage, a vertical eye on his forehead exuding an eerie power, brimming with arrogance.
“The heir of the Immortal Palace hides in his broken bronze palace, fusing with his true body and refusing to come out—I can’t kill him. Then I’ll go to Sin Province. Two ancient sealed monsters appearing at once? Perfect—they’re my prey!”
“No!” the old servant pleaded.
But this time, it was futile. A flash of fire, and the crimson-haired youth vanished, leaving behind cracks in the void.
“Disaster!” The old servant panicked, but it was too late.
That day, Qing Province was shaken. The four heirs of an ancient sect joined forces to battle someone, only to be annihilated!
Soon after, a neighboring province was in uproar—the first young genius of the Gray Flood Dragon Clan had his tendons ripped out and turned into a belt.
Next, in the adjacent Ming Province, a Primal Chaos Being was slain and burned to ashes.
…
This caused a massive upheaval, as all these deeds were the work of one man. Crossing multiple provinces like a star of slaughter, he slew many young elites, each the strongest of their clans.
“The Great Blazing Heaven Art has reappeared! At its peak, it can even derive methods to control treasure techniques, making one invincible in the world!”
This news sent shockwaves everywhere.
Moreover, it was said this crimson-haired man was hunting for ancient supreme geniuses, seeking those sealed away, driven by an insatiable thirst for battle.
Thus, he traversed the land, arriving in Sin Province and causing an uproar.
“My name is Zi Yanfei! Who among the living dares to fight me?!” The red-haired man, wild and unruly, charged into Sin Province, boldly challenging all.
Some elders glared coldly, plotting to eliminate him in secret. But though he was battle-crazed and reckless, he was not careless—his movements were unpredictable.
Moreover, he carried a treasure capable of splitting heaven and earth, allowing him to vanish in an instant. He sought enemies actively, never staying in one place.
The Great Blazing Heaven Art, renowned through the ages, had its heir emerge, shaking the Upper Realm. All ancient sects had no choice but to take notice!
Unfortunately, Gu Jianyun and Chang Gongyan had already left Sin Province. He arrived too late, finding no one to fight, and eventually departed.
“Interesting.”
Still in Sin Province, a figure clad entirely in white appeared—even his shoes and socks were spotless. His silver hair cascaded, lustrous, his face so handsome it seemed unreal, more beautiful than many women.
“The Six-Time Champion, Ning Chuan, has appeared!”
News from an unknown source shook the world. The ancient demon—Ning Chuan, who had emerged six times, sealing the world under his dominance, invincible in his divine might!
His appearance in Sin Province alarmed everyone. This was the Six-Time Champion, one of the most monstrous geniuses since ancient times. From birth, his path was flawless, everything about him perfect.
“I come for the Sinful Blood lineage. That descendant with the sacred light on his forehead and the Sin character piercing the clouds—he is my prey. The Great Dao must be guarded, not defiled.”
These were Ning Chuan’s words. The Six-Time Champion had spoken—he would slay the strongest descendant of the Sinful Blood in recent history.
Yet, he was destined to fail. Shi Hao, unaware of all this, had already entered the most primordial mountain range.
“It’s going to rain—a great storm, spanning tens of thousands of miles, with endless thunder. This is the perfect opportunity. It’s time for me to reach the Great Perfection.” Shi Hao murmured.
This had long been his plan—to draw upon the lightning of the storm, to endure the tribulation unique to the Ancient Immortal Realm, tempering both his soul and body.
He had mastered the Thunder Emperor’s Treasure Technique, and now he would wield it, allowing every aspect of himself to transform, truly reaching the Great Perfection of the Supreme Being Realm.
For Shi Hao sensed immense pressure. The strongest of every era were emerging, and he had to push his combat power to the absolute limit!
“Lightning is mysterious—within it, there are even immortal pools holding divine liquid. I must conquer one!”
Yet, the stronger one was, the more terrifying the heavenly tribulation would be. He would have to walk the line between life and death.
