“Merely a descendant stained with sin-blood, showing no reverence toward the Upper Realm, and being so ruthless and ferocious, today I shall behead you!” one person declared, his figure blurring.
He harbored deep apprehension toward Shi Hao’s methods and, protecting himself with secret treasures, vanished to launch a hidden attack.
“Chi!”
A ray of auspicious light suddenly erupted from the void, speeding toward Shi Hao’s back with sharp precision.
Shi Hao sidestepped, golden martial sword spinning in his hand, cleaving toward the light. With a thunderous boom, a colossal sword beam emerged, causing the void to Zhen Ming.
A figure materialized—this was a man with purple hair and piercing, sinister eyes, wielding a short spear. The weapon was exquisitely sharp, glowing with inscriptions that momentarily blurred the space.
The shimmer of divine light flashed again, and he vanished.
“Hmm, a short spear forged from the bones of a Void Beast?” Shi Hao’s expression shifted. This was undoubtedly a rare treasure.
Void Beasts were extraordinarily rare; whether their hides or bones inscribed with glyphs, they were invaluable and difficult to obtain.
“Hong!”
Without fear, Shi Hao snapped his fingers, summoning a grass sprout that erupted into countless sword beams, engulfing the area in indiscriminate attacks upon every inch of the space.
With a “Pu” sound, a blossoming blood flower erupted in the void, and a figure staggered forth—the genius from the Upper Realm had blood streaming from his shoulder, narrowly avoiding having his scapula pierced, his expression darkening.
“Everyone, attack together! That Invincible Golden Body Armor contains the secrets of ancient times. Killing him means it will be ours to take back and carefully study. Perhaps we could replicate a few,” another person urged.
Zhao Qi sneered too, and they moved in concert, surrounding Shi Hao with a deadly intent, sensing his immense threat.
“Hong!”
Violent energy swept forward as the golden giant attacked again, now frenzied, his golden hair flowing like waterfalls, his aura surging, having suffered repeated setbacks after clashing directly with Shi Hao, and now consumed by rage.
Other nearby experts naturally cooperated, launching forward with techniques glowing, shrouding the battlefield in a boiling frenzy.
“The Invincible Golden Body! That’s a treasure—it can serve as armor or as a weapon of war. Leave it behind!” growled the silver lion.
Even though they were in the ancient treasure realm, separated from the outside world for countless eons, they had still heard of such a rare treasure. Replicating it was extremely difficult.
Firstly, the required ingredients were difficult to find, and secondly, the formations required to engrave were intricate, like the constellations of the heavens. Yet, it was undeniably miraculous, capable of transforming a weak cultivator into a saint-slayer.
“Good! Let’s see how he escapes!” joyfully shouted a young expert from the Upper Realm, joining the fray.
Even now, they continued to suspect that Shi Hao’s extraordinary abilities were tied to the Invincible Golden Body. In ancient times, there was the Unparalleled Golden Body, said to possess boundless might and strange great techniques.
“Aaoooh…”
A Venerable One roared, transforming into a golden wolf, leaving behind afterimages, his golden claws flashing near Shi Hao.
At the same time, others attacked too, glyphs interweaving. Especially the genius from the Upper Realm hidden in the void, once again silently lunging forward with his short spear.
“Hong!”
Shi Hao’s powerful punch sent the golden giant staggering backward, his fist bleeding, joints dislocated, golden blood surging, generating violent fluctuations.
“Open!”
With a sharp command from Shi Hao, infinite electric sparks erupted. Ten mighty lion-dragons surged forth, embodying ultimate power, charging in all directions within a thunderous sea.
This was the most suitable treasure skill for group combat—an indiscriminate onslaught where every inch of space shimmered with golden lightning and was cloaked in a purple haze, accompanied by thunderous booms.
Certainly, there was a focus: Shi Hao drove away the silver lion and golden wolf before summoning four golden lion-dragons to attack the young expert hidden in the void.
Because when the youth had thrust his spear, he had inadvertently revealed his location.
Shi Hao used his body as bait, intentionally giving him the opportunity to strike.
The four lion-dragon figures were huge, formed entirely of lightning. They roared, wielding golden lightning and purple mist, collectively charging forward to corner the individual.
“Quickly attack!” his face paled as he cried out for help.
And his body blurred again. Holding the short spear, he tore through the void, attempting to flee.
The golden giant, silver lion, golden wolf, and other Venerable One, along with Zhao Qi, all unleashed their attacks toward the central figure Shi Hao, now no longer caring for fair combat—they solely aimed to kill their opponent.
The area erupted in thunderous rumbles.
Shi Hao radiated with brilliance, glyphs covering his entire body. Moving at incredible speed, he narrowly escaped the fatal strike.
Simultaneously, he activated ten Cave Heaven, rapidly linking them together. That space became dazzlingly brilliant, like the rising sun radiating with intense auroras.
In that instant, the void solidified!
Although it only lasted momentarily, it was enough. Shi Hao rode the four golden lion-dragons, lunging forward and capturing the Upper Realm genius who had just entered the void.
“Die!” Shi Hao roared.
The golden lion-dragons pounced, piercing through his defensive light, waves of lightning surging. His fur stood upright as his body became covered in dense lightning. Some of his enchanted weapons shattered, unable to stop the lightning from entering his body, which turned him blackened and scorched, causing him to cry out in pain.
“Pu!”
At the same time, Shi Hao himself rushed forward. Golden martial sword in hand, he slashed down. A head full of terror, disbelief, and indignation flew off, and a geyser of blood spewed high from the headless corpse.
Then, the void returned to normal, no longer trapped.
In that brief moment, Shi Hao had completed a flawless killing action.
Everyone was astonished; he had beheaded one among their encirclement. Each person felt a chill, their expressions darkening.
Shi Hao soared up, reaching for the short spear. This was a secret treasure—if he could obtain it, it would make him elusive, powerful, and a terrible nuisance to his enemies.
“Stop him!” everyone’s complexion changed. If Shi Hao, already terrifying, were to become an assassin, it would be even more troublesome.
With a “Peng,” he kicked the headless corpse aside and seized the short spear forged from the bones of the Void Beast, his heart brimming with joy.
Suddenly, he changed expressions. He heard a cracking sound; the short spear he held began burning, unleashing brilliant divine light.
Instantly, he thrust it forward and released his grip, retreating rapidly.
“Aaoooh…” The golden wolf charged in, directly meeting the divine spear. But, they saw cracks forming on the spearhead before it exploded, releasing a devastating energy storm.
This secret treasure had been specially empowered. If the master perished, to prevent it from falling into enemy hands, its formation would self-destruct, taking out nearby enemies.
Needless to say, the golden wolf was powerful. Though severely wounded and bloody, he didn’t perish.
Others were retreating, avoiding the impact.
Shi Hao, with sharp instincts, after backing off a distance, suddenly exploded forward, rushing toward the epicenter. He activated Kun Peng’s power, his fist glowing like a radiant sun in the sky, illuminating the entire chaotic ancient hall.
“Hong!”
This punch landed on the golden wolf, overwhelmingly fierce—it shattered him instantly, scattering his flesh, bones, and skin in all directions.
Everyone’s hearts pounded, awed by the intensity. This mighty Venerable One of the golden wolf had been obliterated with a single punch, golden blood raining ominously.
Farther away, Bigu, Lanyu, and Honghuang were stunned, revealing expressions of shock. The youth from the lower realm was too strong, but they said nothing and charged toward the two ancient bone books.
“You…” roared the golden giant.
“Kill him; do not let him escape!” the silver lion shouted.
Zhao Qi and others paled even more. The stronger Shi Hao became, the more uneasy they felt, desperate to kill him immediately.
Even those not yet involved in the battle—Najiu and Lanlong—were shaken. While charging toward the stone table and bookshelf, they glanced back with stiff expressions.
In just an instant, Shi Hao had slain two formidable experts, making everyone present deeply anxious.
At this moment, the Ironblood Ancient Tree moved—it was one of the strongest here. Meanwhile, the golden giant, silver lion, and others erupted forward, blood qi surging like the sea.
In addition, Zhao Qi and two other prodigies from the Upper Realm also moved forward. There was no turning back now. If Shi Hao were allowed to regain his breath, he would surely eliminate them one by one. All of them unleashed their ultimate techniques.
For a moment, laws surged forth, treasure lights dazzling, making this place terrifyingly dangerous!
Even if Shi Hao was strong, he could not confront so many directly. He employed Kunpeng’s technique, dashing like a specter through limited space, evading one law after another.
“Die, accursed one!”
“Forsaker, leave your life here!”
All the experts shouted, unleashing their strongest techniques against the figure in the void.
Shi Hao let out a long roar, unleashing all his skills. Avoiding the attacks with Kunpeng’s steps, he opened all ten of his Cave Heaven to protect himself, pushing his Supreme Supreme Sovereign bone to the utmost.
A mighty aura spread, glyphs covering the void. It suddenly became crystalline, and a luminous curtain swept forward.
“Beware!” someone shouted, having seen this technique from Shi Hao before.
Yet, the light was swift. Many were struck instantly, crying out in alarm.
In a flash, those hit by the glyphs aged rapidly, coughing incessantly, their conditions deteriorating to the extreme, as though reaching the end of their lives.
Zhao Qi’s hair turned white as he screamed and fled.
Beside him, two others were in a worse state, frail and weak, their divine powers waning to the lowest point. They desperately struggled to escape but failed.
Shi Hao, like a demon god, hair flying, descended from the sky. His foot thundered downward, and with two “Pus” sounds, these two became dust.
Of course, not everyone fared the same. The Ironblood Ancient Tree was extremely powerful. Although its branches and leaves dimmed, its might remained terrifying, capable of launching another attack. It unleashed boundless blood light—its flying leaves transformed into arrows, targeting Shi Hao.
Precisely because of this, it halted Shi Hao’s steps, allowing Zhao Qi to temporarily escape death.
Shi Hao was astonished. The Ironblood Ancient Tree’s vitality was too strong to perish even under the power of “Reincarnation.”
“Yi?” Shi Hao changed expression. This time, attacking many simultaneously caused the Supreme Supreme Sovereign glyph’s light to scatter too much, making its effect short-lived. For instance, the Ironblood Ancient Tree quickly regained its vigor.
He made a quick decision and rushed toward another direction, confronting an aged silver lion. Although it had begun to glow, trying to recover, it hadn’t fully restored yet.
“Hong!”
Shi Hao’s punch unleashed infinite light.
The old lion trembled, conjuring several treasures to block, but they were all useless—each of them shattered under Kunpeng’s punch.
“Aaa…” it roared, its body cracking under the blow. Full of resentment, as it was almost restored, it still had its body shattered.
“Roar…” at the same time, Shi Hao also roared, directing his sound wave toward it. The roar rolled like a tsunami.
With a “Pu” sound, the silver lion, already fragmented, exploded instantly. Shi Hao had literally roared it to death!
It was skilled in the Lion’s Roar technique, but ultimately died under a similar sound wave. Blood blossomed.
Meanwhile, the golden giant was about to restore completely, emitting boundless light, his golden aura surging. He glared at Shi Hao rushing toward him.
Shi Hao summoned his divine strength, wielding his golden martial sword, cleaving downward. The golden giant spat out a treasure to block but was still struck by the sword.
“Pu!”
Blood blossomed as he dodged the fatal blow, but his massive arm was severed, falling away. The pain caused him to scream.
At this moment, Najiu, Lanlong, Zijing Ant, and others noticed something wrong. The Ironblood Ancient Tree reappeared too, and they all attacked together, aiming to subdue Shi Hao.
“Hmm, just used Reincarnation, can’t activate it again instantly?” Shi Hao paused, gradually understanding the law’s intricacies during the battle.
This Supreme Supreme Sovereign technique required time and couldn’t be used consecutively in an instant. Thinking about it, he accepted it—any great technique had its limitations.
Moreover, casting Reincarnation consumed massive energy. If not for Shi Hao cultivating his body to perfection, an ordinary person couldn’t endure it.
Shi Hao retreated, evading their combined attack.
“Yi, this blood has activated the formation!” someone shouted, astonished.
The stone table radiated light, many glyphs appearing around it because blood had dripped there. With a whoosh, the bone book upon it floated upward.
Someone tried to seize it using a treasure technique.
“Ahh, success!” a chorus of astonished cries erupted.
Bigu stared at the bone book in his hands, barely able to believe it. Previously, they had struggled in vain, yet now succeeded easily. However, boundless killing intent surged toward him as everyone turned their attention to him, putting him in dire straits.
“Take it away!”
Bigu’s eyes gleamed sharply. He was decisive, using a treasure technique to teleport the bone book directly to Zhao Qi, who stood at the outermost edge.
“Roar…” Najiu, Ironblood Ancient Tree, Lanlong, and others roared, their murderous intent surging as they charged forward.
Zhao Qi’s face paled. Even if he were the fastest, he couldn’t escape. Though the chaotic treasure book was in his hands, he couldn’t carry it away, which only hastened his demise.
In this split second, he decisively made his move, flinging the bone book toward Shi Hao, a flash of viciousness vanishing from his eyes, smirking coldly.
Trapped within the encirclement, Shi Hao could not avoid becoming the target of everyone’s frenzied assault unless he killed them all first. Zhao Qi’s action was indeed malicious.
With sharp instincts and quick reflexes, Shi Hao anticipated this as soon as Zhao Qi moved, leaping into action, his expression cold, rushing forward using Kunpeng’s steps!
They both moved almost simultaneously, making it seem as though Shi Hao was deliberately advancing to meet the book.
“Pu!”
In a single instant, Shi Hao struck. As the treasure book landed in his hands, he stretched his body, radiant with brilliant light, like a divine demon descending upon this land, tearing Zhao Qi apart.
Red blood rained down, and Shi Hao, glowing all over, was crystalline and pure. Though he carried a killing aura, he appeared ethereal and serene—a contradictory sight.
Yet, it was awe-inspiring!
