Chapter 389: Ambushing the Domain Envoy

The moment these words were spoken, the entire area trembled. The Interception Heaven Sect had made their move, and it was none other than that mischievous and enigmatic demoness, whose status was on par with the Lunar Grace Goddess! Naturally, this struck fear into many, especially the few Venerable Ones who had just spoken—their hearts turned cold. This was a game between major sects. Though they had formidable backgrounds and deep roots, getting entangled in such affairs would be unwise. Shi Hao was truly extraordinary, dragging two major sects into the fray and even prompting the Interception Heaven Sect to step forward in his defense. From now on, anyone who dared to act against him would have to think twice.

The demoness was radiant, with bright eyes and pearly teeth, her figure tall and graceful. The sway of her long, slender legs was mesmerizing, a truly captivating sight.

“Little Stone, your injuries are severe. You should leave—I’ll help you break through,” the demoness said with a smile, her arched brows and lively eyes shimmering, her lips parting to reveal crystalline teeth, exuding an aura of ethereal charm.

“It’s fine. I’m not in too bad a shape. I can still walk. A life-and-death battle like this is actually good training,” Shi Hao replied with a laugh, expressing his gratitude.

The crowd was stunned. This guy was absolutely insane—clearly on the verge of death from grievous wounds, yet treating this battle as a test? The strong remain strong for a reason, and people now understood that this heaven-defying youth truly had something extraordinary about him. He faced deathly duels and blood-soaked battles against Venerable Ones as if they were mere casual conversations.

“Anyone else want to come at me?!” Shi Hao roared.

The crowd was dumbfounded. Was he serious? Actively challenging others—what was he thinking? Did he not fear dying here? In truth, Shi Hao was indeed heavily injured. Not long ago, he had been contemplating how to escape, carving a bloody path out. But now, he had gained a new insight—this was an opportunity to fully unleash his potential, to fight until exhaustion, which would benefit him.

Normally, he bulldozed through enemies without ever encountering a worthy opponent. Even stumbling upon the Divine Demon Wall in the Sacred Emperor Palace of the Fire Clan’s ancestral lands had thrilled him. Now, with a group of living beings to spar with, this was nothing short of a blessing.

Of course, this wasn’t suicidal. He had confidence—just moments ago, after slaying the Flower-Preserving Granny, he had obtained that Void Beast Hide, allowing him to traverse the void freely. Thus, he now stood fearless, treating this place as a hunting ground, ready to fight to the bitter end!

It must be said, the demoness was astoundingly perceptive. From the battle-hungry glint in Shi Hao’s eyes, she immediately grasped his confidence and arrogance.

“In that case, carry on, everyone. The Interception Heaven Sect is withdrawing,” she said with a playful grin, her tone crisp and decisive. She soared through the air like a radiant sprite, leaving the battlefield without a moment’s hesitation.

The crowd was stunned. The demoness had left just like that—no lingering, no hesitation.

“Think you can just leave?!” Suddenly, a black-robed figure emerged from the shadows, lunging at the demoness. With a single motion, a massive, ink-black hand blotted out the sky.

At the same time, several other figures materialized, their forms indistinct yet exuding terrifying, earth-shaking power. Their strength lay not in themselves but in the grand formation they had laid, aiming to trap the demoness. Everyone shuddered—this was a Divine Formation!

“Oh? You followed me into the Barren Domain, intending to kill me? But this is the Void God Realm—you won’t gain any advantage here. You might just perish yourselves,” the demoness remarked in surprise, recognizing the newcomers.

“Do you think the Interception Heaven Sect has no one left?” A hoarse voice rang out as two figures appeared, tearing through the formation to aid the demoness in battle.

The battlefield erupted into chaos. A grand formation battle had begun, with both sides hurling formation flags, gales howling, divine thunder roaring, and the very heavens threatening to shatter.

“A Divine Formation… Truly befitting of a supreme sect, to bring something like this here. If they participate in the Barren Domain’s future, chaos is inevitable!” The crowd trembled. The so-called supreme sects spanned multiple domains—this was no empty boast. Their power was terrifying.

“Who else dares to challenge me? I’ll cure your arrogance!” Shi Hao taunted, his words sparking an uproar.

Several Venerable Ones turned livid, their expressions dark. This was sheer audacity—this brat was actively provoking them, flipping the script entirely, not even attempting to flee.

Some harbored cold thoughts—this youth was too powerful, his talent too monstrous. If he wasn’t eliminated now, he would surely become a threat in the future.

“Since he’s asking for it, let’s all attack and kill him together!” someone hissed in the shadows, rallying the others.

“Good! Let’s cut him down!” The Venerable Ones who had previously struck were all high-ranking beings, figures of authority. To be provoked by a junior enraged them.

Whooshing sounds filled the air as indistinct figures emerged, their true forms concealed, launching a decisive assault!

In an instant, wind and thunder raged, and the battlefield boiled once more. At the highest point, the man wreathed in divine flames clashed with the Lunar Grace Goddess. In the distance, the demoness of the Interception Heaven Sect faced off against several mysterious figures. Nearby, Shi Hao battled the Venerable Ones.

The battlefield was a cacophony of slaughter and clamor.

“Young man, you don’t know when to quit. The Interception Heaven Sect has already protected you—yet you squander the opportunity, still acting recklessly here. If you don’t die today, it’ll be an insult to everyone,” an elder sneered venomously.

“Old fool, you were the one who jumped out earlier, telling me to spare the Flower-Preserving Granny. Now you’re back for more? Don’t think hiding your face makes you safe. I don’t care who you are—I’ll kill you all the same!” Shi Hao retorted before vanishing with a whoosh.

Boom!

A section of the void exploded in radiant light as Shi Hao reappeared atop an ancient beast hide, unleashing a divine ability that sent the elder flying, coughing blood and nearly dying on the spot.

“Void Beast Hide!” The crowd’s hearts pounded. This was the Flower-Preserving Granny’s treasure—how had he mastered it so quickly? Such a rare beast hide bore intricate runes; one needed thorough comprehension to wield it.

“How did you refine it so fast?” the elder muttered.

“Who am I? A heaven-defying supreme!” Shi Hao sneered, his arrogance leaving the crowd speechless yet shaken. It seemed he truly had deciphered it.

The beast hide was primal, not refined into a specific treasure but relying solely on its innate runes to traverse the void. Shi Hao stood atop it, his body in harmony with the Dao, guiding it effortlessly—not just due to his prodigious talent but also his prior experience with the Fire Emperor’s own beast hide.

Swish!

With another flicker of light, Shi Hao vanished again, leaving the crowd uneasy. His movements were too unpredictable—who would he strike next?

“Ahh!” The previously wounded elder screamed as Shi Hao reappeared, wielding the Kun Peng’s power to shatter the elder’s defensive arts, cracking his body and forcing him to vomit blood.

“Fellow Daoists, kill him now! I’ve held him off—join forces and cut him down swiftly!” the elder bellowed, urging the others to attack.

Shi Hao erupted with power. Though pale and bloodied, he remained indomitable, charging forward like a humanoid True Dragon, fists flying, divine arts blazing, focusing his assault on the elder.

The others rushed to aid, hoping to eliminate this youth once and for all.

Yet, the final result was a resounding boom—the elder was pummeled to death, exploding midair before a crimson Soul-Severing Needle pierced his fleeing spirit.

“What?!” Many cried out in fear. This guy was too brutal, living up to his infamy. Another Venerable One had fallen.

The battlefield could no longer remain calm. Everyone was stunned—how many Venerable Ones had died today? Without a doubt, the Barren Domain would tremble. In just one day, not only had the Dual-Pupiled One been slain by Shi Hao, but multiple Venerable Ones had also perished. This was nothing short of a calamity!

Shi Hao, a youth barely over thirteen, had achieved such glorious feats—this was truly earth-shattering! His rise was paved with the blood and bones of Venerable Ones and prodigies, leaving everyone trembling in awe.

“Enough!” A cold voice suddenly rang out as the heavens above underwent a drastic change.

The man wreathed in divine flames unleashed a monumental strike—the Six Paths Reincarnation Divine Ability, six divine arts converging in a world-shaking assault that forced the Lunar Grace Goddess back.

At the same time, a mysterious artifact was placed in the void, voraciously devouring the essence of the surroundings, especially the blood mist of the fallen, particularly the Venerable Ones.

“What kind of treasure is this? Is it trying to destroy this space?!” the crowd screamed. This artifact was too terrifying—it destabilized the heavens, disrupted the laws of order, and threatened to shatter the void.

Even the Venerable Ones were shocked, all looking upward with trembling hearts.

Horrifyingly, the artifact expanded, blotting out the sky. Only then did people realize it resembled a divine disk, exuding an aura of dread.

“Bad news! This thing defies reason—it’s a transcendent sacred object, even emitting wisps of chaos energy. This is too terrifying!” a Venerable One shrieked.

“What?” Even Shi Hao was startled. A hazy divine disk now obscured the sky, threads of chaos swirling as it suppressed the entire area.

At this moment, even the small pagoda nestled in his hair trembled slightly, as if sensing something.

The Lunar Grace Goddess paled, retreating swiftly to escape the disk’s range, her expression flickering between emotions.

The others were terrified, feeling as if doomsday had arrived. They fled in all directions—even the Venerable Ones.

Yet, it was already too late for some. Several exploded into bloody mist, absorbed into the divine disk. Though not many, it was still horrifying.

“What’s happening? What is he trying to do?” someone screamed.

Even the Venerable Ones were petrified. This man was too fearsome—to unleash such a treasure, destabilizing the very fabric of this realm.

“Stop!” At this moment, the Domain Enforcer roared, his face ashen with fury.

“Too late!” The mysterious man in divine flames sneered coldly, glancing at the distant Lunar Grace Goddess. “You are my woman, but now I have greater matters to attend to.”

Boom!

The disk descended, enveloping the Domain Enforcer.

Everyone was aghast. No one had expected his true target to be the Domain Enforcer—or rather, he had been aiming for this from the very beginning.

This was madness—unthinkable! To rebel in the Void God Realm, to defy the gods themselves—assassinating the Domain Enforcer!

Earlier, when this mysterious man had first arrived, people had dismissed him as arrogant. But now, it was clear—he had the power to back his audacity.

At this moment, many felt their minds go blank. Either their senses were failing them, or this man was truly insane. No matter how monstrously strong he was, he shouldn’t dare to kill the Domain Enforcer!
