Chapter 1145: The Ultimate Showdown

“Ah…!”

Shi Hao roared, his black hair cascading like a waterfall before surging upward, scattering into the void.

He braced against one of the Three-Headed King’s massive spider legs, twisting it violently, trying to tear it off—to sever its body and destroy its flesh.

At the same time, the Three-Headed King also bellowed, its three heads contorted in fury, its roars shaking the heavens and splitting the surrounding mountains apart. Its combat prowess was terrifying.

Both were drenched in blood, bearing grievous wounds.

Shi Hao’s hands glowed, his physique at its peak as he strained to wrench the leg apart. Cracks spread across it like shattered porcelain, blood oozing out.

But the leg was covered in fine spider hairs—soft and downy at first glance, yet now standing rigid, their effect unimaginable. They were as hard as steel needles.

Too sharp! Normally pliant, they now surpassed even divine weapons in hardness, piercing effortlessly through Shi Hao’s arms, riddling them with bloody holes.

The result was shocking!

Even Mo Dao was stunned, unaware that the Three-Headed King possessed such an innate ability—its spider hairs were its most formidable weapons!

Both combatants were wounded. The Three-Headed King’s leg nearly snapped under Shi Hao’s grip, while Shi Hao’s forearms were brutally lacerated.

“Die!”

In an instant, both beings roared simultaneously.

*Crack!*

A crisp snap echoed, followed by a pained shriek. Shi Hao had broken off one of the Three-Headed King’s legs—a massive limb over twenty zhang long, dripping with black blood. He clutched it as he retreated.

The Three-Headed King howled in rage, its remaining legs glowing, transforming into deadly spears—rigid, gleaming with a cold metallic sheen—as they thrust toward Shi Hao.

*Clang!*

While retreating, Shi Hao swung the severed leg like a club, parrying the incoming spears with ear-splitting metallic clashes.

Simultaneously, layers of treasure spell runes erupted outward.

Blood sprayed as the leg shattered into pieces.

Shi Hao retreated further, the Three-Headed King roaring as gore gushed from its wound.

This exchange had clearly cost the Three-Headed King dearly, but Shi Hao had paid a steep price too—his arms were pierced through, bones exposed.

Worse, the spider hairs carried a deadly venom, corroding his flesh and bones, turning them black and foul.

This was no ordinary poison—it was a treasure spell, manifesting as black runes that gnawed at his body.

*Boom!*

Shi Hao stood firm, his body erupting with radiant light, transforming into divine flames capable of scorching the heavens.

He was purging the venom, using the bone scriptures of the *Primordial True Record* to expel the black runes.

At the same time, his flesh regenerated, crimson divine light flowing to mend the damage, skin and muscle knitting over exposed bone.

Across from him, the Three-Headed King’s severed stump blazed with light as the limb regrew. Though the pain was excruciating, it was nothing it couldn’t endure.

At the Heavenly Deity Realm, such regeneration was trivial—let alone for the Three-Headed King.

Others might suffer severe depletion, but the Three-Headed King’s limbs regrew effortlessly—an innate gift.

“Hmph, you’re quick to replace a leg. Why not swap a head too? A dog’s head would suit you!” Shi Hao taunted.

The Three-Headed King’s expression darkened, fury simmering beneath its icy exterior. It had always despised beings with impure blood, yet now it had been wounded by one.

“In the age of ignorance, you groveled and worshipped us! Have you lowly worms forgotten the pain? Kneel before your master!” it snarled.

It sought to provoke Shi Hao, to unsettle his mind and disrupt his focus.

“Your breath reeks, and your mind is addled. Spouting nonsense about kneeling—I’ll smash your spider head into a dog’s head to wake you up!” Shi Hao shot back.

“Descendant of filthy sin-blood, I, in the name of the Divine Sovereign, shall punish you, a lowly slave! Die!” the Three-Headed King roared.

*Boom!*

Chaos energy surged around it, shrouding its form in mist.

Vaguely, a colossal spider-human hybrid loomed—terrifying, with six of its eight legs moving like arms, weaving seals!

Divine light erupted from it—treasure spells of devastating power.

**Ten Thousand Spiders Demon Art!**

It was executing an ancient supreme art—once a nightmare for beings of this realm, a fusion of countless divine abilities, hailed as peerless.

But Shi Hao remained calm. He was intimately familiar with the six opening forms of the **Six Paths Reincarnation**, executing them in an instant before unleashing them all!

*Boom!*

Heaven and earth shattered. The battlefield became a cacophony of wailing spirits, as though the land itself would be annihilated.

Mo Dao watched from afar, his face impassive but his mind reeling. He had once believed Shi Hao had only cultivated two strands of immortal energy—yet now, his might was unstoppable. Was he truly about to slay the Three-Headed King?

Two ancient supreme arts clashed—a duel predestined since time immemorial!

The Three-Headed King couldn’t hide its shock. From the moment it first saw Shi Hao wield the **Six Paths Reincarnation**, it had resolved to kill him.

In its realm, jade scriptures recorded the blood and tears shed against this art—how it had once hunted down immortals and felled supreme experts.

The battlefield was obliterated beyond recognition.

Silently, a figure slipped close, launching a vicious sneak attack on Shi Hao.

“Scram!” Shi Hao bellowed, already locked in combat with the Three-Headed King. This new foe was the last thing he needed.

*Thud!*

In a split second, Shi Hao exchanged blows with both adversaries, staggering back, blood trickling from his lips.

“Not having refined all three strands of immortal energy into Dao Flowers is a real disadvantage,” he muttered, wiping the blood away.

*Whoosh!*

Mo Dao intervened, intercepting the ambusher—a young supreme who had cultivated three strands of immortal energy, one of the leading figures in this conflict.

The battlefield now split into two fronts.

“Roar!”

Amid the chaos, the Three-Headed King’s left head—a lion’s—let loose a heaven-shaking **Lion’s Roar**, a primordial divine ability!

The sonic blast shattered mountains, evaporated rivers, collapsed the earth, and tore the sky apart!

The shockwave rocked all three combatants.

Fortunately, Shi Hao reacted swiftly, erecting his **Sole Heavenly Passage** to block the soundwaves.

Seizing the moment, he activated his **Law Immunity** and charged recklessly at the Three-Headed King, aiming for a decisive kill.

He had tried this before, but the King had been wary. Now, he endured the barrage of spider hairs, pressing forward for the kill!

“Ah—!”

The Three-Headed King howled in agony.

For a brief moment, stripped of its spells, it was forced into pure physical combat. Shi Hao closed the distance, his fists a storm of destruction.

*Bang!*

This punch embodied Shi Hao’s supreme physical might, augmented by treasure spells. As his arm arced, the sky filled with **Kun Peng**, their wings blotting out the heavens!

He had perfected the **Kun Peng’s Mysteries**, channeling all his divine power into this single strike.

*Squelch!*

His fist pierced through the Three-Headed King’s body, blood geysering hundreds of feet high.

Seizing the advantage, Shi Hao mounted its body, raining down blows—fists crushing flesh, palms shattering bone. The King’s massive frame convulsed under the assault, gore spraying everywhere.

“**Fearless Lion Seal!**” the King roared. Its left head—the lion’s—transformed into a colossal beast, diving toward Shi Hao.

“Hm?” Shi Hao was startled. This resembled the lost arts of the ancient monk sect from the previous epoch.

Strangely, this technique bypassed his **Law Immunity**.

Unshaken, Shi Hao inhaled deeply, bellowed, and met it head-on with his own supreme strike!

This was the climax—a life-or-death duel resolved in an instant.

“No matter what, I will not die! Your life is forfeit!” the Three-Headed King raged.

“You die!” Shi Hao roared back.

He transformed into a **Kun Peng**, his fists peerless as he collided with the Fearless Lion. Light erupted, drowning the battlefield.

For a moment, nothing was visible—only brilliance.

*Thud.*

Finally, a soft sound.

A mighty **Kun Peng** soared through, its unstoppable momentum annihilating the Fearless Lion, its body torn asunder.
