The Supreme Being of the Immortal Palace was an ancient entity of unfathomable origin, unmatched in power, once capable of contending for the title of the world’s strongest.
Of course, that was no longer the case. His vitality had withered, his cultivation had declined, and though he had not fallen from the Supreme realm, he was far from his prime.
His silver hair cascaded wildly, his eyes icy with fury. This was the Immortal Palace—how dare someone be so audacious as to break in and steal the Immortal Spring’s Eye?
“Vile wretch, you shall perish!” With those four words, he formed a divine seal and struck downward.
**Boom!**
Shi Hao clenched his fist and countered, their collision sending shockwaves through the air. The Supreme Being of the Immortal Palace was stunned.
This “thief” was no mere formation master—he had already attained the Supreme realm? The realization sent a chill down the palace elder’s spine, his gaze turning even colder.
At this moment, he could only vaguely make out a young man and a small beast in the depths of the cavern, their true forms obscured by the dense immortal mist and the mysterious essence boiling from the spring.
“Die!”
The Supreme Being of the Immortal Palace unleashed his full power. As his hands traced through the air, the phantom of a true immortal manifested behind him—he was executing the supreme treasure art of his lineage, the **Immortal Human Seal**.
**Boom!**
Shi Hao felt his body tremble violently, not just from the descending seal, but also from the oppressive might of the bronze Immortal Palace above, crashing down toward the cavern.
At the same time, the little dog yelped, “Not good!”
The silver dragon it had seized with its tiny paws was struggling fiercely. A segment of its body broke off and vanished into the depths of the cavern.
“This…” The little dog growled in frustration.
Simultaneously, the small pool in Shi Hao’s hands trembled violently, but he managed to hold onto it, preventing its escape.
“That silver dragon was the essence condensed from the spring! A whole segment just got away!” The little dog pounded its chest in frustration, but there was no time to pursue it.
Above them, disaster loomed—they had to escape first.
“Careful!” Shi Hao warned as he saw the silver dragon in the little dog’s claws evaporating and burning, dispersing more of its essence. His expression darkened.
“How could this happen?!” The little dog panicked. Every wisp of this essence was priceless—such loss was unacceptable.
“Collect it!” Shi Hao commanded, using the Immortal Spring pool in his palm to absorb the silver dragon and prevent further leakage.
Yet, even as the dragon entered the pool, some of its essence still escaped into the cavern.
“I once heard rumors that the Immortal Spring’s Eye couldn’t be moved. I didn’t believe it, but now I understand—moving it causes too much essence to be lost,” Shi Hao sighed.
“It must be due to improper nurturing. Otherwise, moving it wouldn’t cause such spillage,” the little dog muttered.
**Boom!**
Above them, not only did the Supreme Being’s attacks rain down, but the bronze palace also descended, sealing the exit.
“Rise!”
Shi Hao roared, channeling the **Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art** to its limits. Countless supreme treasure arts erupted simultaneously, forming a storm that surged upward.
At the same time, the **Great Luo Sword Embryo** in his hand blazed with radiant light, trailing celestial rain. A faint silhouette of a living being emerged, charging toward the heavens.
**Clang!**
The sword clashed with the bronze palace for the second time, the deafening impact shaking loose patches of verdigris.
The Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art, accompanied by endless divine light and six mysterious black holes, tore through the embedded formation patterns in the earth, spinning violently.
**Boom!**
Finally, with Shi Hao and the little dog’s desperate efforts, they burst onto the surface.
Now, the Supreme Being of the Immortal Palace finally got a clear look at Shi Hao and froze in shock. “How can it be you?!”
How could he forget this youth? Years ago, Shi Hao—known as **Huang**—had slain the Immortal Palace’s heir, defied their lineage, and thirty years prior, had been crippled by a fallen immortal. Yet here he stood, not only alive but as a Supreme Being!
This was impossible! No one who suffered the **Immortal-Severing Curse** could survive unscathed, let alone ascend to the Supreme realm. Even the legendary **Kun Peng** had fallen to it.
**Swoosh!**
Seizing the elder’s moment of shock, Shi Hao clashed with him once before breaking past.
“Brat, where do you think you’re going?!” The Supreme Being snapped back to reality, blocking Shi Hao’s escape.
Whoever dared trespass here would face his most frenzied retaliation. The Immortal Spring’s Eye could not be lost—this enemy **had** to die.
The two collided dozens, if not hundreds, of times before Shi Hao reached the edge of the reviving formation. Here, he finally relaxed slightly.
Despite the twists and turns, this venture had been relatively smooth.
At the formation’s boundary, Shi Hao halted and taunted, “Old fool, do you remember me?”
“Brat, I’d recognize you even if you were reduced to ashes!” The Supreme Being seethed. This brat had the gall to stop and provoke him after succeeding in his theft.
With a thunderous roar, he struck, summoning mountains and rivers that materialized like a miniature world, attempting to trap Shi Hao.
Unfazed, Shi Hao slashed with his sword, cleaving through the illusionary realm before vanishing in an instant, reappearing beyond the ancient grounds.
As a Supreme Being, his speed surpassed all others—thanks to the **Kun Peng Art** and **Phoenix Technique**, both divine avian legacies that enhanced his movement.
“I don’t understand,” Shi Hao mused, stopping atop a low hill to wait. “Your lineage has hunted me relentlessly, yet **I** am the victim. Why do **you** hate **me** so much?”
“Trespassing into our sacred grounds is punishable by death!” The Supreme Being roared, attacking again.
Shi Hao countered briefly before retreating once more.
The chase led them beyond the heavens, where boundless killing intent erupted.
“Here will do.” Shi Hao finally stopped and turned. “Far from that formation, we can fight properly now!”
**Boom!**
Space shattered as the bronze palace shrank to fist-size and landed in the Supreme Being’s palm.
“Then let me kill you!” The elder brandished the immortal artifact, treating Shi Hao as prey.
“Good. Let’s settle old debts.” Shi Hao’s voice was icy, his killing intent surging.
From the inheritances he had received, the Immortal Palace was his sworn enemy.
First, he had inherited the **Supreme Hall’s** legacy. How had its old Supreme perished? After being wounded, this very elder had joined others to ambush and kill him.
Second, he had also inherited the **Kun Peng’s** legacy. That peerless divine beast, whose wings could split the cosmos, had been crippled in the ancient war before being ambushed by the Immortal Palace’s fallen immortal and cursed.
Of course, that fallen immortal had also been crippled in the battle.
“You heartless, treacherous curs! All you do is scheme against your own kind—never contributing anything good. It’s time you were wiped out!” Shi Hao’s murderous aura erupted.
As the little dog had said, the so-called fallen immortal of the bronze palace had barely fought in the war against the foreign realm—while the true warriors had perished.
“Woof!” The little dog growled, annoyed at being compared to a “tailless dog.”
“Enough talk, brat! The strong prevail, the weak perish. What matters is that **we** of the Immortal Palace still stand, while you will fade into history!” The Supreme Being sneered, hurling the bronze palace forward.
Against an immortal artifact, most would flee.
But Shi Hao wielded the **Great Luo Sword Embryo**—a weapon that grew stronger against mightier foes. It had once clashed with the legendary **Immortal-Refining Pot** of the foreign realm.
In an instant, the two became streaks of lightning, battling deep into the starry void.
“Old fool, today I **will** take your head!”
“Arrogant whelp! Whether dragon or tiger, you will kneel before me!” The Supreme Being howled.
Their battle raged across the cosmos, crossing countless star rivers.
**Thud!**
The palace struck the sword, forcing blood from Shi Hao’s lips.
**Slash!**
A sword gleam pierced the elder’s shoulder, sending a fountain of blood into the void.
“Stubborn old man, just die already!” Shi Hao roared, fighting desperately to behead his foe.
“You, who barely scraped into this realm after mere decades, dare challenge me?!” The Supreme Being snarled, his hair wild as he fought with equal frenzy.
