**Boom!**
Divine light surged through the void as the heavens cracked apart!
Four streaks of lightning intertwined—upon closer inspection, they were figures clashing violently in midair. The battle wasn’t just between Shi Hao and his opponents; the three foreign powerhouses were also colliding with each other.
The reason? Everyone wanted the **Rotten Wooden Box**. At this moment, the **Lion-Dragon** and the **Gu Clan’s inheritor** were acting aggressively.
Originally, the young powerhouse of the **Imperial Clan**, the **Lion-Dragon**, and the **Gu Clan’s inheritor** had been allies, united in purpose. But now, their interests clashed.
The **Rotten Wooden Box** held immense significance. All three young elites hoped to seize it first, open it, and perhaps obtain the ultimate fortune that could shape their destinies.
Otherwise, why would **Yu Tuo** and **An Lan** have fought over it, scheming for countless years?
Before, the three young powerhouses had hesitated, unsure if they could obtain it, so they had moved in unison. But now, the opportunity was right before them—clearly within reach!
Thus, while attacking Shi Hao, they also turned on each other, interfering and competing to be the first to claim the box.
The scene was bizarre. Shi Hao was the primary target, yet the other three were also engulfed in murderous intent, unleashing ancestral techniques in rapid succession.
**Bang!**
Though they fought, none of them used their ultimate killing techniques—those required preparation, channeling their full essence, spirit, and mana.
Right now, they were competing in speed. Whether charging forward or striking at each other, their movements were lightning-fast.
Shi Hao roared, enduring a blow from the **Lion-Dragon**, using its momentum to surge forward toward the **Rotten Wooden Box**.
**Boom!**
But divine light erupted behind him as the young overlord of the **Imperial Clan** struck, shattering the ground and sending the box flying.
**Whoosh!**
The **Imperial Clan’s** young elite moved with terrifying speed, streaking through the air like a bolt of lightning, reaching for the box.
Yet, in that moment, the **Gu Clan’s inheritor** acted. One hand scattered fragments of time, while the other boiled with spatial power. With a summoning gesture, he used a grand spatial technique to lock the box in place and pull it toward himself.
**Roar!**
The **Lion-Dragon** bellowed, unleashing a world-shaking divine ability—a **Lion’s Roar** that shattered the sky, sending black fissures stretching for miles.
Clearly, it used this technique to momentarily destabilize the void and intercept the box.
Shi Hao couldn’t help but sigh. This lion was far stronger than its brothers—a true **Ancestral Revenant**. The same technique, yet the difference in power was like heaven and earth.
**Bang!**
Shi Hao soared into the air, enduring the combined assault of the three powerhouses. The brilliance of their attacks drowned him out.
Even with their minor conflicts, they still focused on him, excluding him—after all, he hailed from **Imperial Pass**, their most critical enemy.
**Whoosh!**
Divine light pierced the heavens as Shi Hao ascended, evading their killing strikes. With a wave of his hand, golden willow branches extended like divine chains of order, seeking to snatch the box.
**”Shi Hao, others may fear you, but I do not! I’ve long wanted to kill you!”** the **Lion-Dragon** roared, its golden body radiating terrifying phenomena despite lacking flesh.
Behind it, a colossal lion emerged, towering like a golden mountain—the imprint of its ancient ancestor, etched into its very bones.
Now, that ancient lion’s mane blazed like golden flames, its body exuding unparalleled power as it gradually merged with the golden skeleton—as if the legendary lion of the previous era had returned to the mortal world!
**Boom!**
It swiped forward with a claw, tearing through the heavens. Its massive form and divine might made it seem like an undefeatable deity from the dawn of creation.
Shi Hao remained calm, retaliating with a single punch. **”A traitorous lineage dares speak of courage? Your clan has long knelt before the foreign realm!”**
The collision sent shockwaves through the firmament, divine radiance dazzling even the gods.
Before the outcome was decided, the **Gu Clan’s inheritor** struck from the side, manifesting two spears in his hands. **”Shi Hao, do not think defeating a few nobles makes you invincible. Face me!”**
The **Gu Clan** was terrifying. In Shi Hao’s eyes, they were a true threat.
The two spears were forged from **Dao Laws**, exuding terrifying auras.
One was the **Spear of Time**—piercing forward, it distorted time, freezing the flow of moments, threatening to halt everything in its path.
The other was the **Spear of Space**, condensing spatial power to pierce through all obstacles, carrying the weight of the heavens.
The dual spears of **time and space** were unimaginably powerful, enough to horrify any peer.
**”Clang!”**
Shi Hao activated the **Six Paths Reincarnation**, summoning six black holes to devour the spears, countering the **Gu Clan’s** technique.
**Boom!**
From another direction, an overwhelming force erupted as the **Imperial Clan’s** young elite drew his weapon—a **long blade** that cleaved through the void.
Its divine might was terrifying, its length extraordinary. A single slash could make all beings in the **Severing Self Realm** despair.
The **Imperial Clan’s** elite was finally unleashing his full power, aiming to eliminate Shi Hao first. Blade energy surged, annihilating life across countless miles.
Even the **Gu Clan’s inheritor** and the **Lion-Dragon** hesitated, wondering if the attack was meant for them as well.
Fortunately, the blade energy only targeted Shi Hao.
**”Clang!”**
Shi Hao drew his sword—the **Great Luo Sword Embryo**—clashing with the blade from afar.
In the distance, the **Rotten Wooden Box** tumbled endlessly, unable to settle due to the battle’s shockwaves.
The four powerhouses prepared for a bloody showdown!
Undoubtedly, Shi Hao was at a disadvantage, surrounded and outnumbered.
**”Do not hinder me! Let me kill him!”** the **Imperial Clan’s** elite commanded, warning the others not to interfere.
**”Arrogant fool. Were time not pressing, I’d kill you all one by one!”** Shi Hao retorted coldly.
**Boom!**
After slashing with his sword, he unleashed a fist strike, **indestructible scriptures** illuminating the sky.
Shi Hao broke through, chasing the box. He feared an unforeseen complication—what if another being appeared and stole it?
After all, this was possible. The **Burial Ground’s** branch was nearby, and dormant **Burial Kings** might awaken.
At the very least, a female **Burial King** lurked in the sacred land, though she had yet to show herself.
**”Kill!”**
The three powerhouses roared, launching a combined assault. Thousands of divine beams pierced the earth, sending the box flying once more.
They reached a silent agreement—eliminating Shi Hao first was the safest course. Then, they could fight among themselves.
The **Rotten Wooden Box** finally landed, resting motionless, slightly distant from the battlefield.
**”Hm?”**
**”No!”**
Moments later, they all shouted, charging forward—even their desire to kill Shi Hao forgotten.
Because the box had begun moving, accelerating at an impossible speed.
The four elites leaped in pursuit.
How could the box move on its own?
Soon, they understood—a creature beneath the earth was carrying it, attempting to steal it!
Opening their **Heavenly Eyes**, they were stunned.
Shi Hao was speechless. The thief was none other than the **Immortal Medicine**!
Even it had joined the fray.
Discovered, the medicine no longer hid. Its vines wrapped around the box as it fled with astonishing speed.
By now, the **Black Energy Sea** had receded, weakening the area’s restraints. The medicine could now move freely, soaring and burrowing at will.
**”Whoosh!”**
It vanished, teleporting through the void.
**”You won’t escape!”** the **Gu Clan’s inheritor** shouted. Wielding the **Spear of Space**, he shattered the void, forcing the medicine back into view.
**”Swoosh!”**
It dove underground—a troublesome move, for this was the **Sacred Land** and the **Cursed Earth**. The ancient terrain was unpredictable; who knew what lurked in the depths?
Perception was easily disrupted here, making tracking difficult.
**”You won’t get away!”** Shi Hao said coldly.
Even a plant was competing with him. The box’s mystery deepened, and he wondered—had the **Immortal Medicine** lured him into the **Cursed Earth** not just to harm him, but to use him in securing the box?
**”Whoosh!”**
Unconcerned for his safety, Shi Hao plunged underground, chasing the medicine.
He wasn’t worried about losing it—he still held a **leaf** obtained earlier, infused with the plant’s aura.
Locking onto this trace, he pursued relentlessly!
The three powerhouses frowned, sensing trouble. If they lost track now, the box might fall into Shi Hao’s hands.
Beneath the earth, the **Immortal Medicine** fled like mad.
A mere plant, yet it dared compete with Shi Hao for the **Rotten Wooden Box**!
