Sword energy crisscrossed the heavens, cold light shimmered brilliantly!
Shi Hao swung his blade, severing the head of the Dark Divine Child. The headless upper half of the body was sent flying, black blood splattering everywhere.
Such overwhelming dominance! Even the mighty Dark Divine Child had lost his head—how could this not send chills down everyone’s spine? The crowd was utterly silent, not daring to even breathe.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…”
Divine rainbows cascaded like waterfalls. The battle was far from over. The Dark Divine Child’s flesh was unnaturally resilient—even after being cleaved apart, it still glowed, erupting with countless glyphs.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The metallic tremors shook the heavens. Waves of treasure spells surged forth, divine radiance filling the skies—all erupting from the Dark Divine Child’s body, striking against the Great Luo Immortal Sword.
Unfazed, Shi Hao had already pinpointed the Dark Divine Child’s weakness. Sword in hand, he advanced, slashing repeatedly. Black blood sprayed once more.
No one could deny it—the Dark Divine Child possessed a monstrously powerful physique, some parts even surpassing the legendary Six-Zhang Golden Body. Not only was it indestructible, but it also exuded a sinister energy.
A deafening roar!
A river of blood surged from the Dark Divine Child’s heart, swiftly turning dark crimson before morphing into black, flooding the heavens and earth, engulfing Shi Hao.
“Boom!”
Shi Hao raised his hand, unleashing the Thunder Emperor’s Treasure Spell. Arcs of lightning surged like an ocean, blasting apart the black blood and reducing it to mist.
Sword in hand, he pressed forward, slashing horizontally and vertically. Sword radiance erupted like a river of stars.
“Thud!”
The Dark Divine Child’s mutilated body was severed once more. In an instant, Shi Hao struck with blinding speed, cleaving the torso into countless pieces.
“Hum!”
A silver mountain descended, crushing the void.
It was actually a glyph, manifesting from the distant horizon. An ancient Sacred Child sat cross-legged at the edge of the sky, his form indistinct as he chanted scriptures. The bone inscriptions originated from him.
“Clang!”
Shi Hao’s sword trembled, striking the silver mountain formed by the glyph and sending it flying.
But something even more terrifying occurred. In the void, a row of mountains soared—some golden, others wreathed in purple mist, some exuding overwhelming darkness—each emanating an oppressive aura, as if a sea of stars had descended!
These were 108 glyphs, linked together to form colossal mountains. From above, they resembled a string of beads, crushing all enemies.
The Sacred Child chanted, never approaching, using his scriptures to obstruct Shi Hao and prevent him from slaying the Dark Divine Child.
“That’s… the *Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Scripture*, the legendary supreme divine text!”
The crowd was awestruck. This ancient scripture was unparalleled—its very name resounded through past, present, and future.
And this was only the opening passage. The Sacred Child had chanted barely over a hundred words, yet the pressure was already overwhelming, making souls tremble in fear.
Shi Hao’s gaze was icy. Wielding the Great Luo Immortal Sword, he showed no fear, unleashing peerless sword energy. One slash after another, he shattered every glyph, dispersing them into the void.
“The Sacred Child is terrifying! Even without manifesting in person, his methods are heaven-defying,” someone murmured, wondering if he would descend in person to face Shi Hao in a decisive battle.
Clearly, the death of Gu Meng had provoked the Sacred Child’s wrath, as someone had delivered the news to him.
“Shi Hao’s dominance knows no bounds! Even surrounded by enemies, he dares to challenge multiple ancient freaks. What a hero!” someone exclaimed.
The crowd nodded. Regardless of the outcome, Shi Hao’s name would shake the Immortal Ancient Realm. His sheer audacity was unmatched—who else would dare face multiple ancient freaks alone with just a sword?
“Whoosh!”
Sword light surged endlessly. Shi Hao did not stop, dispersing the scriptures as he charged forward, further dismantling the Dark Divine Child’s body to prevent its reassembly.
“Heavens! How many pieces has the Dark Divine Child’s body been chopped into? He’s practically minced meat now!”
The onlookers could hardly believe it. The Dark Divine Child, whose flesh was said to be indestructible, had been dismembered. Black blood sprayed, turning faces pale with horror.
Only the head remained, retreating incessantly, uncut, its cold, eerie gaze fixed on its foe.
“My lord!”
A group of Netherworld experts appeared, shouting in alarm.
Some disregarded their own safety, charging at Shi Hao to rescue the Dark Divine Child.
“Thud!”
Without a word, Shi Hao swung his sword, accompanied by pure immortal energy. The charging Netherworld experts were bisected at the waist before exploding into bloody mist.
Such overwhelming might—a single strike annihilated an entire group of experts!
This was the terror of transcending that threshold. With immortal energy, one stood above all others, unrivaled.
“Clang! Clang!…”
Shi Hao’s sword trembled as he unleashed thousands of slashes in rapid succession, reducing the Dark Divine Child’s body to a mangled mess. Sword light even targeted the head, hacking relentlessly.
“Clang!”
A dreadful sound erupted as Shi Hao’s sword struck the forehead—producing a metallic ring.
Undoubtedly, the head was the most terrifying and indestructible part!
Sparks flew as sword radiance surged like silk ribbons. After a fierce exchange, the Dark Divine Child’s skull finally cracked.
“What? Is the Dark Divine Child truly about to perish, body and soul?” Everyone shuddered.
Some had claimed his flesh was indestructible, yet the sight before them shattered all preconceptions.
“Die!” Shi Hao roared, unleashing a devastating strike with the Great Luo Immortal Sword. Immortal energy coiled around the blade as it cleaved the skull in two!
Black blood gushed, and eerie mist spread, an indescribable horror.
“Not good!”
Shi Hao’s heart lurched. His instincts screamed of imminent danger—something terrifying was approaching.
“That’s…”
The crowd gasped. At the horizon’s edge, the indistinct figure continued chanting, yet a massive hand stretched forth, descending toward them.
The sheer scale was horrifying—even mountains paled in comparison to that colossal palm.
The arm spanned the heavens, originating from the world’s edge, enveloping everything. The Sacred Child had acted, invoking a treasure spell from the *Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Scripture* to annihilate Shi Hao.
The sky split apart, black fissures spreading everywhere!
Shi Hao’s gaze remained icy. Instead of retreating, he charged forward. A sword beam shot into the heavens, slashing at the palm covered in scripture glyphs before turning toward the mist, aiming to obliterate the Dark Divine Child’s soul.
“Clang!”
In the darkness, blinding sparks erupted, dispersing the mist.
Shi Hao’s pupils contracted. Within the split skull was not a soul—but a small black cauldron, ancient and cracked, pulsing with terrifying energy.
Immortal metal… It was a cauldron forged from immortal metal.
The cauldron was small, already damaged in antiquity, riddled with cracks and steeped in the aura of time.
Yet even so, it was unnervingly intimidating, as if facing a prehistoric beast of unparalleled horror.
“Hum!”
The cauldron flickered, exuding soul energy. Dark light erupted from it, unleashing a world-shaking aura.
“That cauldron is terrifying! Its rank is unimaginable—how was it brought into the Immortal Ancient Realm?”
“Something’s off. It’s damaged, only emitting fluctuations. Its glyphs are incomplete, unable to unleash its full power.”
The distant spectators were stunned.
Undoubtedly, this was a cauldron from the Primordial Era, buried and now resurfacing in this age. Forged from Dark Immortal Metal, its value was incalculable—even immortals would struggle to obtain such supreme divine material.
“Boom!”
The colossal palm in the sky descended, crashing toward Shi Hao—a divine ability manifested from the *Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Scripture*.
Simultaneously, the soul within the black cauldron flared, driving the artifact forward. The cauldron hurtled toward Shi Hao with terrifying force.
Shi Hao parried, first deflecting the massive palm before slashing at the Dark Immortal Metal Cauldron.
“Thud!”
Blood blossomed, vivid and striking.
Shi Hao dodged, yet a blade still pierced his back, emerging from his chest. Blood flowed freely.
The assailant behind him twisted the blade, seeking to shatter him!
Killing intent invaded his body, devastatingly potent, eroding his vitality. Cracks spread outward from the wound.
“Boom!”
Shi Hao burned like a furnace, radiant glyphs erupting as he counterattacked. Like lightning, he vanished, reappearing in the distance.
He had broken free from the blood-drenched divine sword, now standing afar. Bone inscriptions blazed across his body, his chest wound glaringly crimson.
The ancient freak of the Celestial Kingdom!
Shi Hao’s expression darkened. He had been misled—first suspecting the Sacred Child’s palm, then the black cauldron.
Yet the true threat had been the Celestial King, lurking in the shadows, delivering a fatal strike at the critical moment.
The killing intent within him was horrifying, ravaging his meridians, threatening to shatter his bones and drain his essence.
“Where do you think you’re going?” Shi Hao’s brows furrowed, his Martial Heaven Eyes blazing like twin suns, illuminating the world.
He lunged thousands of feet, slashing through the void to cut off the Celestial King’s retreat.
Only then did the others realize—the ancient freak of the Celestial Kingdom had struck again, his blurred form now visible, holding a bloodied divine sword.
“He broke his own rule! They say he retreats after a failed strike, yet he attacked a second time!”
The Celestial King had broken his code for Shi Hao, engaging him in direct combat.
“You think my flesh is so easily breached? I will not die—I merely used you to temper my body!” the Dark Divine Child sneered.
Simultaneously, his scattered flesh surged toward Shi Hao like living armor, seeking to envelop him.
A sinister force—the Dark Divine Child’s flesh fragments sought to encase Shi Hao, reforming around him.
“Dark Refinement!” the Dark Divine Child roared. Using his own body as a furnace, he sought to seal and refine Shi Hao, absorbing all his essence.
“Spare me your arrogance. Your flesh is tough, but once its flaws are found, it can be cleaved,” Shi Hao retorted.
Even as he spoke, he dueled the Celestial King, sword beams soaring endlessly.
The crowd was awestruck—the Assassin Supreme was indeed terrifying!
“Burn!”
Shi Hao roared. A strand of immortal energy surged from within him, igniting with ten thousand residual flames, scorching the Dark Divine Child’s encroaching flesh.
“Hmm?!” The Dark Divine Child recoiled, swiftly retreating—the residual flames were deadly.
“Clang!”
While battling the Celestial King, Shi Hao unleashed sword beams at the Dark Divine Child.
Many were stunned. The Celestial King had never engaged in such direct combat before—yet now he was locked in fierce battle.
“Incredible! No wonder even the Ten Crown King and Ning Chuan treat him with caution,” some murmured in awe.
“Clang!”
The black cauldron trembled, unleashing a supreme radiance, bearing down on Shi Hao.
Shi Hao’s expression changed. He tore through the void, fleeing at extreme speed.
“Boom!”
The cauldron’s power crushed the space he had occupied, its might unimaginable.
Clang!
The lid fell off. The Dark Divine Child’s soul shuddered, tumbling out.
Clearly, the cauldron was flawed—damaged since the Primordial Era, now uncontrollable after that strike.
Otherwise, such a supreme cauldron could never have been brought into the Immortal Ancient Realm.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
Shi Hao abandoned the Celestial King, pursuing the Dark Divine Child instead.
“Boom!”
The flesh fragments surged toward the Dark Divine Child, encasing his soul, ready to reform.
Shi Hao’s sword descended, its edge peerless.
“Clang!”
His target wasn’t the man—but the cauldron. With a slash of the Great Luo Immortal Metal Sword, he severed it from the Dark Divine Child, seizing it in an instant.
