The dark sword embryo slashed forth, transformed from his right arm—sharp, fierce, and radiating overwhelming black light.
Shi Hao sidestepped, the Kun Peng wings on his back erupting like a sky-covering cloud, vast and boundless, sweeping forward with the interplay of yin and yang energies. The collision unleashed wisps of chaotic mist!
**”Boom!”**
The void shattered under the impact as the black sword embryo clashed with the Kun Peng wings, sparks flying in all directions.
**”Clang!”**
Sword energy surged, the sound piercingly sharp.
Yet, Shi Hao countered with a storm of golden feathers, dissolving the attack entirely.
However, trouble arose the next moment. The Dark Progeny’s body erupted with light as countless treasure spells bloomed, sweeping toward Shi Hao.
This time, Shi Hao had unleashed an overwhelming force—his Kun Peng wings, like golden clouds, blotted out the sky, launching an all-encompassing assault.
This naturally provoked a furious response, forcing the Dark Progeny’s body to instinctively release even more treasure spells, linking together in a spectacular, full-scale eruption.
Clearly, Shi Hao had done this deliberately. He was probing the Dark Progeny’s body, unwilling to believe that every inch of this flesh was sealed with terrifying runes. There had to be a weakness.
Otherwise, if it were just about attacking, he had other means yet to employ.
**”Boom!”**
Dark clouds surged as treasure spells intertwined, even producing chanting—emanating from the Dark Progeny’s flesh. It was terrifying.
**Swish!**
Shi Hao dodged, continuing to activate his own treasure spells. Lightning surged forth, drowning the Dark Progeny, further stimulating his body until it blazed like fire.
Admittedly, Shi Hao was confident. In such a situation, he wasn’t thinking of how to swiftly slay his opponent but rather of exploring every facet of him.
An ancient corpse from the Primordial Era—possibly even from the previous epoch—had piqued his immense interest.
Shi Hao couldn’t help but marvel at the sheer terror of his opponent’s body. Its instinctive reactions alone could annihilate entire groups of geniuses, releasing treasure spells autonomously, indestructible and invincible by nature.
Many spectators realized that even if the Dark Progeny stood still and let them attack, they wouldn’t be able to defeat him—instead, they’d be slain by his body.
**”Hmm, some areas aren’t glowing. No runes or treasure spells emerge—could those be the weak points?”** Shi Hao mused.
This was the result of his all-out assault. He had noticed dim regions on the Dark Progeny’s body that showed no reaction, possibly vulnerabilities.
With this in mind, Shi Hao halted, then gathered all his strength for a fierce assault. With a metallic **”clang,”** he seemed to don golden armor.
Countless golden feathers hovered around him, radiant and overwhelming, like a treasure emerging from the void, shaking the Golden Spirit Realm.
This was the evolution of the Kun Peng treasure spell—a manifestation of supreme power. Every feather was a divine sword, numbering a hundred thousand, encircling Shi Hao.
**”Slay!”**
Shi Hao roared, the immortal energy around him surging as he attacked ferociously.
The hundred thousand golden feathers rapidly expanded, each towering between heaven and earth, vast and unstoppable!
These colossal feather-swords didn’t slash—they smashed downward!
Moreover, they wove together into laws, forming a furnace—a **Sword Furnace!**
A hundred thousand giant swords, their edges transforming into order, constructing a furnace—a sight both bizarre and magnificent, sealing the Dark Progeny within.
Infinite sword energy flowed into the furnace, churning like blades and flames, incinerating everything inside!
**”This… is too terrifying!”**
Distant spectators paled. The transition from swords to furnace, interwoven with laws, was a world-shaking spectacle.
Who could withstand this? Even many prodigies instinctively tensed, retreating as if they themselves were trapped in the furnace, struggling desperately.
**”Clang! Clang! Clang!”**
Ten thousand swords struck simultaneously, endless streams of light bombarding the Dark Progeny’s body, sparks flying.
**”What? How is he this strong?”**
People could hardly believe it. How could a single body withstand so much sword energy?
Without a doubt, the Kun Peng technique, evolved to this stage, was a killing art beyond compare. The Sword Furnace alone was enough to stun the world.
**”Boom!”**
**”Boom!”**
Deafening impacts resounded. The Sword Furnace was translucent, revealing the scene inside—a figure striking back, fists hammering against the furnace.
Though he resisted with countless treasure spells, he was still at a disadvantage.
**”He’s holding on?!”** someone exclaimed.
Moments passed, yet the Dark Progeny’s peerless flesh remained unbroken, glowing even brighter. His fists struck harder, making the furnace tremble and warp.
Outside, Shi Hao stood firm in the sky, the hundred thousand golden feather-swords tilting forward, their tips aimed at the enemy. Amidst this forest of blades, he stood unmoving, like an emperor.
**”Slay!”**
Shi Hao’s command shifted the Sword Furnace into pure law, transforming into primordial sword energy that targeted the Dark Progeny’s dim, unlit areas—potential weak points.
Simultaneously, Shi Hao moved. The sword furnace had further pinpointed the exact locations where the Dark Progeny couldn’t release treasure spells. It was time to strike.
A roar like an ocean surged through the world as Shi Hao dove forward, the hundred thousand golden feather-swords converging on the Dark Progeny.
**”You think you’ve seen through me? That you can kill me?”** the Dark Progeny sneered, his body erupting with black light. The immortal energy fused with his flesh, turning him into a black sun.
A shocking transformation occurred—previously dim areas on his body now blazed brighter than the sun.
**”Swoosh!”**
A crimson streak shot from one such area, runes blindingly bright, morphing into a tiny bell that streaked toward Shi Hao.
**Fast!** That was everyone’s impression. The eye could barely track its trajectory—only a blur—before the bell’s toll echoed across the world.
**”Dong!”**
The crimson bell, not physical but formed of laws, sent shockwaves that knocked swathes of cultivators from the sky, blood streaming from their orifices.
**”Heavens, what treasure spell is this?”**
Panic spread. This was too sinister—an indiscriminate attack from such a distance.
**”Clang!”**
The next moment, the crimson bell tolled again—but this time, it wasn’t a soundwave. Instead, the clapper transformed into a tiny sword, releasing strange ripples that shot madly toward Shi Hao.
**”This is the Soul-Plundering Art—long lost! How terrifying! The Dark Progeny’s body actually holds such runes? What kind of being was he in the past?”** gasped those with broad knowledge.
The crowd paled.
The Soul-Plundering Art was sinister, capable of slaying the primordial spirit, directly assaulting the sea of consciousness. Flesh and blood couldn’t block it.
The earlier shockwave had only been a ripple, yet it injured weaker cultivators at the edges. Imagine the force Shi Hao faced at the center—this was the most dreadful of treasure spells.
The primordial spirit was the anchor of life’s imprint. Once scattered, everything ended—utter annihilation.
The crimson bell became a symbol of terror in everyone’s eyes!
**”You thought my dim areas were weak points? Wrong. Those are the places where I can freely release treasure spells—my strongest zones!”** the Dark Progeny mocked.
Shi Hao already knew. The Soul-Plundering Art and other treasure spells emerged effortlessly, displaying terrifying power.
**”Your strongest points? Just this? What can a mere Soul-Plundering Art do to me?”** Shi Hao said coolly.
Everyone was stunned. Shi Hao stood firm, a curtain of light blocking all of the Dark Progeny’s deadly treasure spells.
Shi Hao had activated his **Unique Heavenly Passage**, reinforcing it with lightning and Kun Peng power. Symbols shimmered on its surface like stars—this was just the beginning of his experimentation, yet its defensive power was peerless.
**”Boom!”**
Next, he infused it with **Heaven’s Radiance**.
But this was the limit. Still in the experimental phase, the Unique Heavenly Passage wavered unstably.
**”Slay!”**
Shi Hao roared. The Unique Heavenly Passage blazed, then detached from him, flying forward to engulf the crimson bell and annihilate it completely.
Moreover, the passage’s energy transformed into rune beams, shooting toward the Dark Progeny.
**”Boom!”**
Alas, his opponent’s body was too monstrous, far surpassing his generation’s limits. With a dull thud, the Dark Progeny unleashed a full array of treasure spells, blocking the attack.
Shi Hao pressed the assault. **”I refuse to believe your indestructibility is endless!”**
His brows furrowed—killing intent flared.
**”Come, Shi Hao. Others fear you, but you’re nothing in my eyes. Had I not slept for millennia, I could swallow a hundred thousand like you in one breath!”**
The Dark Progeny taunted, finally revealing his true form. The dark mist dissipated, revealing him clad in black-gold armor, his face pale with a sickly beauty.
**”Slay!”**
With a shout, he charged.
The two figures clashed across the sky, their battle fierce.
**”Shi Hao, you struck every part of my body, forcing my instincts to react, hoping to exhaust me? Disappointed? My flesh is peerless—inexhaustible,”** the Dark Progeny jeered.
**”I was merely curious, wondering if there was anything worth learning. But you’ve disappointed me. Now, no more delays!”** Shi Hao said coldly.
**”Boom! Boom!”**
Their treasure spells collided spectacularly.
**”Let’s see what you’ve got,”** the Dark Progeny sneered, unafraid.
**”You have many treasure spells, but they’re just imprinted in your flesh—useless to me. Your body is extraordinary, but it’s just a corpse—inedible. Trash. Die!”** Shi Hao roared.
These words not only enraged the Dark Progeny but also stunned the spectators.
**”Clang!”**
A sword materialized in Shi Hao’s hand—forged from the intertwining runes of **Reincarnation, Heaven’s Radiance**, and his third innate supreme technique.
With this sword, the winds shifted, and heaven and earth dimmed.
The immortal energy around him coiled around the blade, enhancing its might.
His speed defied reason—a fusion of Kun Peng swiftness, spatial compression, and lightning wings—as he circled the Dark Progeny, striking relentlessly.
**”Clang! Clang!”**
Under the onslaught, the Dark Progeny’s body began to bleed, even suffering punctures in a few spots!
The crowd was aghast. Was even this monstrous flesh being dismantled?
**”Your weakness lies in the glowing areas—the zones where treasure spells emerge. You can’t hide it!”**
Shi Hao’s voice was icy. Some of those areas had deteriorated over time—they could be pierced!
**”Pfft!”**
The Dark Progeny spat black blood, sent flying for the first time—severely wounded.
**”A mere corpse, yet you dare boast before me? What are you?!”** Shi Hao roared.
He dove again, his sword lethally precise. With several **”pfft!”** sounds, it shattered runes and struck vital points.
**”Boom!”**
The Dark Progeny unleashed a supreme technique, yet it barely held.
The crowd trembled. What kind of treasure spell was this, weakening the Dark Progeny so rapidly?
Shi Hao was surprised. His strikes carried the power of **Heaven’s Radiance** and **Reincarnation**—normally fatal. Yet the Dark Progeny’s body, though faltering, endured.
**”Ah—!”**
The Dark Progeny howled, launching a desperate counterattack.
**”Clang!”**
Shi Hao drew the **Great Luo Immortal Sword**. **”Earlier, I wanted to test your uniqueness, to see if there was anything worth learning. But you’ve disappointed me. Time to end this.”**
In his right hand, his innate supreme technique formed a sword embryo. In his left, the immortal metal sword. Twin blades—unstoppable!
**”Slay!”**
The Dark Progeny fought back fiercely.
Even now, they battled for five hundred exchanges. His body was bizarre, runes flaring unpredictably.
**”Pfft!”**
Shi Hao severed his right arm—a known weak point. Black blood sprayed as the limb flew away.
**”Hmm?”**
Shi Hao was shocked. The severed arm reversed course, trying to reattach. This body was too unnatural.
**”Reattach? Not happening!”** Twin blades flashed, slicing the arm into pieces and grievously wounding the body.
**”Pfft!”**
Next, Shi Hao bisected him at the waist, the upper half sent flying.
Suddenly, chanting echoed through the void. At the world’s edge, a blurred figure sat cross-legged, murmuring indistinct scriptures.
At this moment, souls trembled. An urge to kneel overwhelmed all.
**”The Scripture of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths… from the Divine Temple! He’s the Ancient Progeny!”** someone stammered in terror.
**”Come then! Face me, and I’ll slay you all!”** Shi Hao roared.
Unaffected by the scripture’s influence, he charged again, cleaving the Dark Progeny’s chest.
Yet he frowned. Even now, the dismembered body tried to reassemble.
**”Pfft!”**
Unfazed, Shi Hao merged his twin blades into one and beheaded the Dark Progeny in a single stroke!
Blood arced high into the sky.
