Chapter 1794 - Defecting
These individuals' cultivation wasn't weak, their speed extremely fast. They rushed out thousands of li in an instant, and then descended on a stone mountain, waiting quietly.
When the sun began to set in the west, the neighing of horses sounded from the darkness region, quickly approaching.
Shi Hao was shocked. Were there really creatures in that land of darkness?
There was a strange black horse, its entire body covered in scales. It widened its bloody mouth, a foul odor wafting out. Black mist surged from its mouth and nose, its appearance a bit terrifying.
A knight sat on it, its black armor ice-cold, even his face covered. This was a powerful individual, his pupils incredibly cold.
"Did you bring it?" He spoke, his voice hoarse. Those who heard it all developed an uncomfortable feeling, as if it was two pieces of metal grinding against each other.
"Not yet, but we will have it soon." One of them replied carefully, his voice carrying fear, scared that they would upset the other party.
"Too slow. Our patience is limited." The knight on the strange black horse said.
Shi Hao's pupils contracted. He didn't expect to have ran straight into a transaction. There were existences who could live in the dark matter, currently carrying out a deal with the people on this side.
"That thing is extremely important. Even if no one can use it, it has always been viewed with great importance by the supreme beings. Seizing it will be a bit difficult."
When these words sounded, Shi Hao trembled. This transaction was definitely a big deal.
"I don't care about those things. If it is not here the next time we meet, do not blame me for being merciless." The voice of the knight on the strange horse became more and more frigid.
"We will do our best." One of them braced themselves and said.
"Doesn't you clan have a supreme being as well? He should be able to get into contact with it." The black-armored knight said coldly.
"That was something Huang obtained back then after all, so no matter which clan it is, they can still only use and protect it together. No one has the authority to directly use it in a deal."
"Exactly, our clan's supreme being also needs to avoid arousing suspicion."
This type of reply made Shi Hao's mind sink. The thing that was being exchanged was actually related to this much, these people were defecting!
"You have to understand that the ones who wish to work with us isn't just your clan. Perhaps there will be other families who will contact me soon." The black-armored knight said.
"We understand!"
…
Shi Hao didn't make an appearance, just carefully listening, thinking to himself.
Then, he knew what it was that was being traded; it was actually that rotten wooden chest!
Back then, Shi Hao had risked life and limb to bring that rotten wooden chest back from Desolate Border, yet now, there was someone who was secretly trying to exchange it, gift it to the creature in the dark mist.
This was definitely betrayal, selling out, betraying the interests of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths.
Even though he didn't know what use the rotten wooden chest had, just from how both Shutuo and Anlan both made moves, he knew that this thing was not simple, having tremendous origins.
When Shi Hao obtained it, he handed it to the supreme beings in Emperor City. In the end, Great Elder Meng Tianzheng, Elder Qing Mu, and the others died one after another, the rotten wooden chest ultimately ending up in the hands of the supreme beings who were still alive.
Needless to say, right now, the ones who were trying to make a deal with the knight were definitely from a long life family, moreover a family with a living supreme being.
It was because only they had a chance of coming into contact with the rotten wooden chest.
Shi Hao was immediately furious. This was something he obtained, gifted to the supreme beings to research. However, in the end, due to selfish interests, some people decided to sell out to the enemy.
Regardless of what kind of background this region of darkness held, what was clear was that it was a great disaster for the Nine Heavens Ten Earths. It directly erased fifteen provinces, making all tremble in fear, clearly not here to do good.
"In three days, it will still be this place, I will wait for you all to bring over the rotten wooden chest. Once the transaction is complete, I ensure that your family will coexist with the world, everlasting and imperishable." That knight said.
"We will do what we can!" Those people bowed respectfully, and then they all rushed into the sky, disappearing from this place.
After a long time passed, this place became quiet.
The black knight stirred on the warhorse, making his way through the mist. The sound of its hooves was deafening, gradually heading into the distance.
Shi Hao's face sunk. He walked out, gazing into the land of darkness, and then into the sky. He was angry.
"In the past, when I fought bloodily in Desolate Border, what was it all for? Meanwhile, the long life families are all unreliable, even making a deal with the creatures of darkness!"
Shi Hao's expression was ugly, tightly clenching his fist.
He lamented over Great Elder and the others' sacrifice, feeling like it wasn't worth it.
"I want to get back what is mine. The higher realm's collapse has nothing to do with me, I'll just return to the lower realms." Shi Hao said to himself.
It was because he was a bit discouraged. There was more than a single long life family in the Nine Heavens above who were defecting, it was impossible to defend against.
Of course, before leaving, Shi Hao wanted to know the origins of the darkness creature, why he appeared, how he was produced. The more he knew, the better, only then could he obtain a great victory in the future.
…
In the Nine Heavens above, Wang Family.
Immortal Wang's face was delicate and pretty, his outward appearance extremely young, just a youngster. However, right now, his brows were furrowed, expression extremely serious.
"My Wang Family's ancestral hall in Immortal Domain has already been abandoned. Rumor has it that there was a dispute between Wang Family's main group and another powerful ancient inheritance. They were defeated, and in the end all moved, entering the deeper regions of Immortal Domain where there is less habitation, no news in recent years."
Immortal Wang said. These were all things he learned from Immortal Domain's emissary, the news astonishing.
"What?! My Wang Family's ancestral hall in Immortal Domain has been abandoned?"
"What do we do then? We have nothing to rely on! We definitely cannot enter Immortal Domain, a single mistake and we'll be plotted against and killed."
Another family, Jin Family, was also holding an internal meeting.
"Something happened to Jin Family's ancestor, there is no hope for us within the short term, we have to find another way!" Jin Taijun said.
The long life families all began to discuss different things.
This time, darkness really descended. They all sensed that the situation was bad, all of them looking for ways to deal with it.
There were some great clans that felt like they had to enter Immortal Domain even if they had to sacrifice everything.
Among them, there were long life families who already learned that their clans in Immortal Domain had declined from the emissary, to the extent where there were clans that directly disappeared.
There were families that were extremely glorious in Immortal Domain, developing rather smoothly.
That was why because the situations they faced were different, the choices they had to make were also different.
"Do we really have to gift that rotten black chest to that creature of darkness? Old ancestor, do you know about their origins?"
Within a clan's hidden room, someone said quietly. There were only four or five here, precisely the most important members of a long life family.
"I knew of the darkness creature's arrival, long surmised it. This is the only way, only by gifting the rotten wooden chest is there a chance to protect my clan. As for the other clans, we cannot tend to so much!" That old ancestor spoke out.
"Living is the most important. Even if we betray this world, so what?" Someone else echoed.
"The rotten wooden chest is Huang's. Even though he handed it over, the clans are all guarding it together, if we give it over, once news leak out, it will definitely be extremely dangerous."
"We cannot tend to all that. My clan isn't the only one considering this. I am worried that someone would snatch the opportunity before us. Only once the transaction is done can our clan's prosperity be ensured."
…
Three days later, still the same edge of the darkness in the three thousand provinces.
Shi Hao was like a crouching tiger waiting for his prey, ready to deliver a thunderous strike at any time. He was hiding here, wishing to steal food from the lion's mouth.
The rotten wooden chest was his, he definitely couldn't gift it to the enemy, it couldn't be lost.
"They're coming. I want to see just what clan you all are from!" Shi Hao's voice was ice-cold, killing intent restrained, ready to leap out at any time.
He sensed some fluctuations. A few streaks of divine rainbows shot through the sky, speeds extremely fast, rushing over.
There was still quite some time before the arranged time, however, the long life families were cautious, scared that the creature of darkness would come first. Thus, they came much earlier.
Hong!
Shi Hao moved, rushing into the heavens, facing those people, raising his fists and smashing down without any trace of politeness. He wanted to end things as quickly as possible, seize the rotten wooden chest first.
Behind him, a demonic ape roared towards the heavens, its figure massive, battle aura surging. This was a technique made for battle.
The Chaos Demonic Ape's inheritance was appearing, displaying divine might!
Pu!
Shi Hao immediately brandished his fist, fist radiance illuminating the heavens, even more dazzling than lightning. It was extremely great, power incomparable. Almost at the same instant, a rain of blood poured out.
One person was killed, immediately dying.
The main reason was because Shi Hao's strength was too astonishing, and these individuals didn't put up any defense. They weren't supreme beings, so how could they block this kind of assault?
"Who are you?!" The others were horrified.
"The rotten wooden chest isn't on him. You all are next!" Shi Hao said, not asking them anything, instead directly taking action, wishing to inflict fear through actions, break down their willpower.
Chi!
This time, his arms moved out, extending like a phoenix bathed in flames, carrying a holy aura. The skies were filled with scarlet multicolored radiance, a pair of True Phoenix wings appearing behind him.
Shi Hao dove down, still targeting one person. This person seemed like the leader of these individuals.
Hu!
Flames overflowed. That person released a miserable scream, immediately turning into ashes, burned down by Shi Hao's descent.
It was also precisely at this moment that Shi Hao saw the whereabouts of the rotten wooden chest. It was hidden on this person.
With a peng sound, SHi Hao grabbed it firmly.
"Now, I just have to wait until the creature of darkness shows up, give him my greetings." Shi Hao said, not placing the remaining people in his eyes at all.

Chapter 1795 - Confronting the Darkness
Those people's expression were unpleasant, feeling extremely uneasy. This youngster was too vicious, completely overwhelming them from just the first encounter, no need for a second attack at all.
The main thing, however, was that the rotten wooden chest changed owners. This was the divine object of today's transaction, yet it was now lost, so how were they supposed to explain things to that creature of darkness now?
"Speak, what clan are you all from, why are you all trying to conduct business with that creature of darkness? What kind of background does he have?" Shi Hao asked.
Now that he had the rotten wooden chest in hand, he was no longer worried. Everything could be slowly investigated and understood.
Those individuals closed their mouths, not speaking. At the same time, some of their eyes flickered, wishing to escape, some of them completely stupefied like wooden sculptures.
Their reactions were all different, because what they were thinking was also different.
There were some who wanted to keep the secret, not daring to leak out information, some wanted to run, escape this disaster, there were others who were hesitant, wishing to run, but found the choice hard. It was because if they couldn't complete the trade, then there would be a huge problem!
Peng!
Blood erupted. Those whose wills looked more firm exploded, blasted apart from the sword energy Shi Hao released. Their entire bodies turned into blasts of bloody mist under the indestructible sword radiance.
This made those who were conflicted shiver in fear, become more and more scared.
"Friend, who are you? Please stay your hand for now, you have to understand that this rotten wooden chest is what that creature of darkness wants, insisting that it was essential. If you bring it away, there will be a huge disaster." One of them said.
Peng!
As a result, a streak of sword energy shot out, the Grass Symbol Sword Art was impossible to block. His arm fell onto the ground, blood flowing everywhere.
That person's face immediately became pale, unable to utter another word.
"You all should know that my patience is limited. When I ask you all questions, just answer if you know the answer, if you don't know, then keep your mouth shut. Do not even think about threatening me!" Shi Hao said.
This place immediately became quiet.
"Then not speaking it is. I will just search your souls myself." Shi Hao sneered.
"I'll talk!" One of them couldn't hold on anymore, voice trembling, speaking of his origins.
They were from Wind Clan, from this long life family.
"Wind Clan's old ancestor really is daring, doing this type of thing, betraying the Nine Heavens Ten Earths!" Shi Hao's voice turned cold.
Last time, Yuan Qing brought people from this clan to kill him, all of it was already exposed then.
Wind Clan's old ancestor's enmity with the past Stone Clan was great, bearing tremendous hatred against the sinner's bloodline. When Shi Hao entered Immeasurable Heaven, he had directly faced off against Yuan Qing's interference, almost being killed. He was then sent into Origin Ancient Mine, that event related to this one.
During Desolate Border's great war, there were long life families that defected to the enemy. At that time, Shi Hao had already suspected that it was this clan.
Now, when darkness suddenly descended, this clan was even more so 'extreme', it really left one speechless. This was more than planning to go to the other side.
"Back then, Wind Clan's ancient ancestor was so bold and stunning, one of the true immortals, falling in the end of the last great era. However, today, you all are actually like this." Shi Hao released a light sigh.
Rotten wooden chest, this was something even Anlan and Shutuo wanted, just how precious was it? Yet it was used by this clan as an item in exchange, offering it up to the creature of darkness.
As the world experienced the vicissitudes of time, many things have already changed.
Any following interrogation was meaningless. It was because they didn't know the origins of the creature of darkness at all, the clan's old ancestor didn't speak in detail.
"I've let you all down, you all can head on your way!" Shi Hao said.
With a raise of his hand, phoenix feathers rose one after another, scarlet and brilliant, carrying flames that wanted to burn down heaven and earth, drowning this place.
"Who exactly are you?" There were some who were unwilling, wishing to know who exactly he was.
"Chaos Demonic Ape!" Shi Hao spoke. Then, his figure changed from the current burly chap into the vicious looking individual, the face of the demonic ape.
Shi Hao remained extremely careful. He was scared that there would be eyes everywhere, that news would leak out, so he didn't display his real body.
Now that he cultivated the Eight Nine Heavens Technique, also cultivating the Seventy-Two Transformations to a near perfect level, he could change his form at will. Even if one possessed Heavenly Eyes, they couldn't see through him.
"Great vicious being of the lower realms, you actually came up!" The other side's people were shocked, sucking in a cold breath of air.
However, it was already too late. Shi Hao took action. Those feathers carried fiery light, drowning them underneath. In that instant, they were burned down to their bones, and then turned to ashes, scattering into the wind.
It was just that domineering. The True Phoenix Technique was unmatched, able to instantly burn down creatures into scattered ashes.
Shi Hao stood there, not moving like a fossil, waiting for that creature of darkness to appear.
Finally, the sun leaned to the west, the waning sunset like blood, the sound of horse hooves could be heard.
Dark mist surged over there, pitch-black like ink, even the sunset splendor would be swallowed up when it was cast inside, devoured, not a trace of light visible.
A strange horse appeared, its figure massive, covered in scales. When it opened its bloody mouth, a strong smell spread, carrying a rotting odor.
On its back was a knight, his black armor flickering with cold radiance. There was a wave of austere energy; this was an extremely powerful cultivator.
However, he didn't reach the Supreme Being Realm, which was why Shi Hao didn't feel any fear, calmly waiting here.
He had to admit that this individual was strong, exceeding most Self Release Realm cultivators, a terrifying figure!
Before there was a true interaction, Shi Hao could already sense that this was a difficult individual to deal with.
There was black mist around him, murderous energy surging, the warrior arrived on the black warhorse. He was extremely callous, eyes penetrating like blades.
"Did you bring it?" The darkness knight asked.
Shi Hao sighed. This man and mount were both surrounded by black mist, really about to slaughter their way over. This was rather troublesome, he didn't know if he could smoothly capture and interrogate him.
"I brought it, however, I wish to know your origins." Shi Hao said. He held the rotten wooden chest in hand, showing it to him.
"Nonsense, is this something you can ask?" The knight berated.
"I am gifting you something, yet you are still so arrogant, this transaction is hard to complete…" Shi Hao said with a sigh.
"Heh, the Nine Heavens Ten Earths are about to be swallowed in darkness at any time, yet you all still dare show me arrogance." The voice of the knight on the warhorse became increasingly cold.
"Arrogant? I'm going to cut you down!"
Shi Hao immediately took action after saying he would, too fast. With a raise of his finger, blade energy shot out streak after streak. He displayed the Grass Symbol Sword Art, launching a sudden assault.
Stalks of grass emerged in the void one after another, all of them with nine leaves. They moved together, the nine leaves on each stalk shining, sword energy endless!
Hou!
The darkness knight roared, raising his fist and smashing out. This place immediately became chaotic, darkness energy going wild, wishing to surge over.
Dong!
An intense collision erupted between the two, shaking heaven and earth, the world itself as if about to go dark.
Shi Hao sighed. He backed up a set distance. He didn't fear the opponent's strength, but rather the darkness energy. That stuff corroded one's primordial spirit.
Not far out, a man and mount roared, charging forward.
That warhorse's entire body was covered in dark scales like a demonic dragon. It opened its bloody mouth, biting towards Shi Hao.
The hooves were deafening, the entire great earth shaking, starting to collapse. This warhorse was too powerful, charging just like that, making the nearby mountain peaks all collapse.
"Accept death!"
The darkness knight released a great roar, sending a fist smashing out again.
However, one could see that his fist had faint black blood flowing through it, injured from the first encounter with Shi Hao.
This left the darkness knight furious. He felt like he had been careless, which was why the second fist was especially ferocious, as if the heavens smashed down, wishing to destroy all things on the great earth.
Hong!
Raging flames surged about Shi Hao's body. He bathed in divine flames, the True Phoenix' void projection appearing, drowned under this type of fiery light. His entire being became incomparably pure and holy.
At the same time, sword energy shot out of his hands, still using the Grass Symbol Sword Art.
The former belonged to the phoenix bloodline's extreme inheritance, reborn in flames, ensuring that one was eternally imperishable. The latter possessed incomparable power, sword energy rushing into the heavens, cutting down all enemies in the world.
"Yi, it's effective!"
Shi Hao was shocked. When he operated the True Phoenix Precious Technique, it stopped the darkness matter, no longer having to face the threat of death. He was able to hold on.
"No wonder the phoenix was known as the undying bird, there was a reason behind this after all!" Shi Hao was shocked. Even if the darkness energy surged over, he still didn't have to fear being corroded.
During this process, phoenix cries sounded endlessly. He bathed under this type of fiery light, resisting the aura of darkness.
Meanwhile, the Grass Symbol Sword Art displayed the most powerful offensive power, hacking out with exceptional sword radiance.
During this intense struggle, he charged ferociously. Pu! Shi Hao hacked off the great horse's head, making black blood splash extremely high into the air.
"I loathe the undying bird!" The darkness knight roared.
Even his face was covered, only the eyes revealed. His gaze became increasingly cold. A great shout was released, a black war spear appearing in his hands, piercing forward with extreme speed.
His entire being was running, diving down, wishing to provoke and kill Shi Hao.
The black spear was extremely sharp, flickering with cold light, held in that creature's hands, stabbing towards the space between Shi Hao's brows.
Peng!
The void exploded.
This strike's power was boundless!
Unfortunately, even though this creature was extremely strong, rarely meeting his match under the supreme being level, Shi Hao still stopped him. Sword energy surged in his hands, pouring outwards, forming a boundless white expanse.
Qiang!
That black war spear was broken, half of it falling onto the ground.
The Grass Symbol Sword Art really was worthy of being known as one of the world's three greatest sword arts since ancient times. This meant that it was precisely one of the most powerful attacks!
Then, there was an intense clash. The darkness knight was brave and courageous, brandishing his fists, stirring the wind and clouds with his attacks, with even the void shattering.
Shi Hao was decisive, and also extremely cool-headed. Many phoenix feathers appeared in his surroundings, turning into fiery light, burning the darkness, trapping the darkness knight within.
"Speak, what kind of background do you really have!" Shi Hao shouted.
He basically caught this creature alive.

Chapter 1796 - Eternal Darkness
The True Phoenix feathers were like scarlet chains, linked together, interweaving about, forming a cage, locking the darkness knight inside.
Whenever a feather shot out, it would be enough to destroy a large expanse of the mountain range, turn mountain peaks into magma, turn great rivers into mist, the power incomparably great.
With so many of them linked together, it was simply enough to refine stars one after another!
Right now, Shi Hao displayed his might, forming a crimson cage with the True Phoenix Precious Technique, imprisoning this person.
The darkness knight didn't reply, his eyes cold, pupils contracted, staring at Shi Hao. He was inwardly shocked; the Nine Heavens Ten Earths still had a youngster this powerful?
One had to understand that he had cultivated for an endless amount of time in order to obtain his current achievements!
"Are you going to talk or not?" Shi Hao asked.
"We will ultimately march into this great earth regardless, darkness eternal, the final destination of all living things, the fate of the heavens." The darkness knight said coldly, not displaying any emotional fluctuations, not fearing death.
He spoke extremely calmly, but in Shi Hao's ears, it crashed down like thunder, making his mind tremble.
The more calm the darkness knight was, the more it proved the severity of the matter. It was as if it originated from his very bones, already becoming his faith!
What kind of creatures are those?
"If you aren't going to speak, then I'll just search for the answers myself!" Shi Hao said coldly.
He released a low roar, his entire body releasing zheng zheng noises. Feathers that were even more dazzling flew out, turning into a streak of divine rainbow. He was like a true phoenix, brilliant feathers swirling in his surroundings, all of them phoenix feathers.
All of the divine feathers were moving, making Shi Hao's aura become incomparably powerful. He used a great method, using the True Phoenix Precious Technique to oppress this creature.
All of the divine feathers shone, raging flames surging. Together with the cage's support, strand after strand of black energy was refined, evaporated into a strange black mist.
Ah…
That creature released a low roar.
Unfortunately, it was useless. He couldn't resist, he wasn't Shi Hao's match.
It couldn't be said that he was weak, on the contrary, he was extremely strong. At the very least, in the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, there weren't many at the Self Release Realm who could suppress him!
It could only be said that Shi Hao was strong, especially in recent years after obtaining the Grass Symbol Sword Art, as well as the Chaos Demonic Ape and True Phoenix inheritances, his strength clearly making great progress.
Comparatively, he was even stronger than when he was at Desolate Border!
Strand after strand of black mist was refined and burned up. Some strange black ashes appeared on the ground.
"One day, you will fall into eternal darkness!" The darkness knight roared out, feeling that the situation was dire, unable to remain calm.
The black mist was their source of power. It could corrode everything, turn a great world into a land of darkness, into their pure land. However now, Shi Hao was refining it away, breaking down this type of power.
"Eternal darkness? I'm waiting." Shi Hao didn't seem too concerned, not treating these words as a big deal at all.
"You will regret this! Darkness will completely bury you!" This knight's voice was overcast, as if he was chanting some type of curse.
Shi Hao didn't pay him any attention, but he frowned, because he felt like refining a darkness knight like this took too much time. If it was a normal creature, they would have long been detained.
Yet now, he had to refine the black mist strand by strand, wisp by wisp, it really was strenuous.
Hong!
Then, he used lightning, sending it hacking down. This was great yang power, the effects not weaker than the True Phoenix's raging flames.
These were the most powerful methods for dealing with evil spirits, extremely effective.
Unfortunately, the darkness matter didn't seem to be a type of evil spirit. Even though Shi Hao could suppress it, he couldn't break it down quickly, make it fully collapse.
After a long time had passed, the darkness knight became dispirited, on the verge of collapse. There already wasn't much dark mist within him, as if he became sick, lacking vitality.
"Just get over here!" Shi Hao released a shout. After completely refining the darkness matter, he reached out a large hand, grabbing towards the darkness knight's head, about to directly search his soul imprint.
Hou!
The darkness knight roared out, the divine black armor releasing kengqiang noises, releasing dark light, struggling intensely.
However, right now, his vitality was greatly injured, his body actually releasing a rotting smell, not having much of his powerful strength left.
With a peng noise, he was first grabbed by Shi Hao and raised up, and then Shi Hao's palm shone, restricting this person with natural laws, wishing to search his primordial spirit imprints, examine him fully.
Ah…
However, right at this time, the darkness knight went mad, becoming uncontrollable, actually struggling free from the restrictions. He released a miserable roar, and then his body exploded into dark light.
Shi Hao frowned. At this moment, he used wondrous methods, not holding back. Grass Symbol Sword Art hacked out, wishing to pierce through his body protecting dark light, break down his fighting strength.
Dang!
That dark light was extremely terrifying, carrying a type of demonic nature, not like something the darkness knight released himself, but more than the resonance with nearby black matter that was supporting him, forming a defensive domain.
Shi Hao was shocked. This dark matter really was imperishable. He felt quite a headache, sensing how strange, terrifying, and difficult to deal with it was.
However, it had to be said that the sword art on the same level as the Chaos Calming Art was powerful, immediately making the dark light become dimmer from the first strike.
"One of the three great ancient sword arts!" The darkness knight's pupil contracted. He sensed that he was in great danger.
Hong!
Around his body, symbols covered everything densely. Those were dark scriptures, dark patterns. They protected him within, some of them released by him, some produced by dark matter.
Behind him was a black sea that extended as far as the eye could see, mists surging, able to offer darkness power.
Chi!
The Grass Symbol Sword Art was extremely sharp, exceeding Shi Hao's imagination. The second streak of sword energy shot out, tearing through everything, unstoppable, ripping through the dark light.
Pu
The darkness knight was hacked apart at the waist, cut in half, his fighting strength crippled on the spot.
With a peng noise, Shi Hao raised him up. A stench immediately wafted out, making one feel like vomiting.
"I won't yield! You won't obtain anything from me!" The darkness knight said.
In that instant, Shi Hao saw that his primordial spirit was burning, becoming a black flame, even burning through the crown of his head.
Shi Hao shook his head, throwing him onto the ground. This person was already dead, there was no meaning left to this.
He never expected the darkness knight to be this resolute, not fearing death at all.
On the ground, the rotting smell became even stronger. The darkness knight's head was burned through, his corpse laying on the ground, not moving at all.
This left Shi Hao shocked. Under the armor was actually a rotting corpse. He had just lost his life, so why was his body already rotten?
When the armor was lightly tapped, it also shattered, as if it had experienced an endless amount of time, destroyed by the passage of time. The powerful and sturdy armor was like paper, turning into dust.
"Darkness is eternal, the predestined fate of all realms." A demonic voice rang through this place.
The darkness knight's primordial spirit light scattered, thus disappearing.
Shi Hao tried to grab it, but the rain of light that landed in his hands all turned to black ashes. There was a type of malevolent power. He quickly scattered it.
Eventually, the rotting corpse on the ground was in an even worse state.
It was as if it experienced endless time in just that instant, crushed by time, rotting, decaying, withering away, ultimately turning into dust.
"What kind of thing is this? Is it a living creature?" Shi Hao was extremely shocked.
Later on, the black dust all turned into a tornado, entering the sea of darkness.
It was precisely as the darkness knight foretold, darkness was everlasting, the home of all living things. When he died, that was where he went.
Shi Hao's mind sunk. Just what exactly was going on? These creatures, where did they come from?
He stood in place for a long time. There was no second creature who came out of that black mist, this place becoming extremely peaceful, lacking sound.
Shi Hao disappeared. He went into hiding, wishing to observe this pitch-black region.
It really was rather strange, recently, the darkness didn't continue spreading, still occupying fifteen provinces of territory, as if it stabilized.
He watched from the distance, staring into the depths of the darkness, wishing to know what exactly there was inside, how this place formed.
En?
Shi Hao was shocked. In the past few days, there were powerful individuals from the Nine Heavens who came again, but they weren't from Wind Clan, but rather from another family.
They set up a strange altar, carrying out a sacrifice here. In the end, they summoned an existence from the darkness, conversing with him.
Shi Hao's heart went cold. Was there another family who was abandoning this world?
What left him furious was that a few days later, another family came from a different region, also summoning someone from the sea of darkness, carrying out a transaction.
In the end, Shi Hao sighed. He felt his heart going cold, not wishing to stop here anymore.
"Even the long life families are like this, what can I, a Self Release Realm cultivator, do? Let's just let the flood do what it will!" Shi Hao left.
He was discouraged. The long life families were all starting to give up, about to defect to the other side, having transactions with the creatures of darkness on the other side, so why should he even bother fighting?
With a dong sound, Shi Hao lifted up the nine dragon skeletons and the bronze coffin, quickly leaving, hiding from everyone's sight, silently heading towards Crucifix Yin Yang Earth.
Eventually, he returned to the lower realms!
"You actually brought this thing back?!" Along the way back, when he had just passed by the ancient restricted region ruins, that half snow-white skeleton immediately shone, turning into a white-clothed individual. His face was full of shock, staring at Shi Hao and the bronze coffin.

Chapter 1797 - Three World Bronze Coffin
This time, Cosmos Lake didn't appear, nor did the thatched cottage. The medicinal fields and other things were still dried and withered, no long life medicinal fragrance wafting out.
However, the middle-aged man, under this state where the restricted region still hadn't changed yet, took form just like that, different from before.
His clothes were purer than snow, complexion fine like jade, like an exceptionally beautiful man. His face carried an expression of shock, staring at the nine dragon skeletons and bronze coffin.
"Senior, do you have any guidance for me?" Shi Hao asked. He lowered this copper coffin.
Regardless of whether it was the dragon bones or the bronze coffin, they were both extremely heavy. If it was a normal person, they wouldn't be able to move it at all. When placed on the ground, the earth quaked and mountains shook.
"What kind of corpse did this bronze coffin previously bury?" Shi Hao asked.
"Corpse? Why do you feel that it definitely buried the deceased?" The lord of the restricted region stared blankly.
"Could it be that the coffin doesn't hold remains?" Shi Hao became a bit stunned, asking like this.
"Correct. With the changes of a great era, the original purposes of artifacts have also changed." The white clad man shook his head, as if in a daze. He released a light sigh, feeling a bit moved.
"There are actually other purposes for coffins?" Shi Hao was shocked.
"This is the Three World Bronze Coffin, its origins previous extremely great, extremely mysterious, exceptionally ancient." The lord of the restricted region told him some things about it.
Shi Hao had already heard that this coffin was named Three World Coffin. He had always been curious, but no one was able to tell him about its origins. Now, his mind erupted with desire, because he knew that this lord of the restricted ought to know of its origins.
"The coffin is a place of slumber, a place of rest, the war fort of the strong!"
When these words sounded, Shi Hao was stunned, completely toppling everything he knew. Weren't coffins where corpses were stored?
"This one in particular is the most famous. It represents the past, present, and future, the place of hibernation for the strong, not a place of burial, but rather for the sake of cultivation. It is so that they can become stronger in the future!"
The words of the lord of the restricted region left Shi Hao shocked.
There were some who wanted to remain eternally imperishable, continue living, not die? That was why the Three World Bronze Coffin didn't bury the people from three worlds, but rather represented eternity.
The past, present, and future, there were people dormant inside. It wasn't a place to keep corpses, but rather a war fort.
"What about its owner? Could it be that he is still sleeping inside?" Shi Hao asked. If this was the case, then it was just too shocking.
The lord of the restricted region shook his head, saying, "The coffin is too ancient, impossible to destroy. However, there are already no creatures sleeping inside, its owner has left."
According to what he said, one or two great eras ago, this coffin had already been empty, its owner disappearing.
Of course, it might be even earlier.
No one could say for sure what this coffin's origins were, not knowing which era it came from.
During Immortal Ancient years, it was only used by those true immortals, previously using it to escape. Because Immortal Ancient was about to be destroyed, it metaphorically buried an entire great era.
"Perhaps it is a coffin from the Age of Emperor Collapse." The restricted region lord released a light sigh.
Shi Hao was moved. He thought back to the Everlasting Sword Core. This sword was extremely special, under extreme circumstances, not only was there immortal ascension light, terrifying scenes of blood flowing along the great earth, ancient graves appearing one after another would also appear. Among them, the most shocking scene was that there was a creature who hugged its knees, seated on a bronze coffin.
"It's that coffin!"
Shi Hao found it hard to calm down.
Then, he asked many questions, all of them related to this coffin. Unfortunately, the restricted region lord didn't know about its origins either.
Not long afterwards, Shi Hao was rather bold and daring, trying to enter the coffin.
"There is a small coffin!"
Within the several dozen meters long giant bronze coffin was a small coffin.
With the lord of the restricted region here, he wasn't all that worried, starting to boldly examine it.
Even though Shi Hao was innately strong, full of magical force, he still had to exhaust quite the effort before he opened the small coffin. Multicolored smoke immediately surged, essence energy spreading outwards.
Large amounts of brilliant lights shone, carrying strong life force.
Mists surged inside, extremely hazy, impossible to see through with a single look, as if there was a realm gate there.
Shi Hao was shocked. This was just like what the lord of the restricted region said, a war fort, the inside full of strong life force.
"Oh, its withered self, after the baptism of endless years, gradually recovered, now revealing vitality again." The lord of the restricted region was shocked.
It was clear that he had also come into contact with this coffin before, examining it before.
Shi Hao gritted his teeth, charging straight in. This was a lush small world, the plant life full of life, spiritual medicines concentrated, just too different.
The inside was extremely vast, able to support the lives of a large population.
"This is basically a secluded paradise, there isn't a problem even if Stone Village is moved inside!" Shi Hao was shocked.
In reality, it was fine even if more people were moved in.
"The heroic spirits who used to live inside have all departed, this can be considered an ownerless object." The restricted region lord nodded, and then with a pensive look, said, "Is the outside world starting to experience turmoil, undergoing great changes?"
Ever since he saw that the coffin was empty, he knew that something great had happened in the higher realm.
Shi Hao nodded, telling him about the events of darkness surrounding fifteen provinces.
"As expected!" The restricted region lord was startled. Then, with a sigh, he said, "The Immortal Ancient war spirits who resided in this bronze coffin have most likely been completely wiped out!"
"Ah?" Shi Hao was shocked.
"Darkness has appeared again, how could the ruined souls of deceased true immortals be able to stop it?" The lord of the restricted region said, moreover being sure that if Immortal Domain didn't take action, then the Nine Heavens Ten Earths would be destroyed.
"What are the creatures of darkness? What kind of origins do they have?" Shi Hao asked. He really wanted to know this.
"You can see for yourself, go and explore, try to understand them on your own." The restricted region lord didn't reply.
"Why?" Shi Hao was confused. Why didn't the white-clothed middle-aged individual directly tell him?
"I am scared that it will leave you with too great of a mental blow. It is extremely cruel, you will discover that those people are too strong! Moreover, as for their true origins, even I do not know for sure." The restricted region lord's words left Shi Hao stunned.
There were definitely secrets behind this. The lord of the restricted region knew quite a bit, but there were some things that not even he knew.
In the end, Shi Hao brought the nine dragon bones and copper coffin into Stone Village, leaving everyone stupefied.
"You went into the higher realm, actually brought this back…" Yun Xi was stupefied. She had heard about this coffin before, feeling deeply shocked towards Shi Hao's feat.
"There are so many dragon bones, can we make some soup?" The big black tortoise ran over, reaching out its neck, starting to drool.
"They really are dragon bones!" Everyone here became shocked, rushing over to touch them.
"Even white tiger bones can be fermented into rare medicinal wine, then the wine produced by true dragon bones will definitely be astonishing!" The Zhuyan wiped at its saliva.
"You group of foodies, none of you are allowed to shame my ancestors!" The crimson dragon said while widening its eyes. It threw itself over, stroking these dragon bones.
When Shi Hao saw this, he was a bit moved. "I'll give you a new task. Carefully sense it, see if you can detect any True Dragon symbols on them, try to grasp the inheritance!"
The crimson dragon closed its eyes, lightly shaking its head, but became dispirited soon afterwards. "They have long been erased."
"If no symbols can be found, then it'll be used to simmer soup!" Shi Hao said.
He walked out again, still using that heavenly path to head into the higher realm. He wanted to see this to its end. Darkness was descending, what exactly would this bring to the higher realm?
He found it hard to calm down. There were some old friends that were in the higher realms. If there were changes, he hoped that he could rescue those people, bring them to the lower realms.
At the very least, the Three World Coffin could resist the corrosion of darkness.
"Immortal Domain has sent out soldiers!"
When Shi Hao returned to the higher realms again, he received shocking news. Immortal Domain made their move, sending out great armies, hurrying towards this world.
They finally couldn't sit still anymore!
"When will they arrive?"
"They are going to appear soon!"
…
While listening to their discussions, Shi Hao found it hard to calm down.
That day, Immortal Domain's emissary passed down a decree, informing this world that Immortal Domain won't just watch as a bystander, that a great army will arrive soon, that they will protect this world.
Shi Hao curled his lips. Immortal Domain was also doing this to protect themselves, fearing that the darkness matter would become too strong, that it would encroach Immortal Domain sooner or later.
One had to understand that back then, when he entered with two undead knights, he had previously been discriminated against by Immortal Domain's creatures the entire time, claiming that the three of them were tainted, carrying inauspiciousness.
Now, the creatures of darkness have appeared, so Immortal Domain found it even harder to endure.
Then, when Shi Hao understood what happened during the days he left the higher realm, he became even more shocked, feeling greatly shaken.
No wonder Immortal Domain couldn't sit still, it was because the land of darkness was changing. In just a few days, it had spread from fifteen provinces to a hundred provinces!
So many of the three thousand provinces were eaten up, losing a hundred provinces, this speed was too shocking!
Moreover, the darkness region was no longer quiet, one could see that there were figures moving in the darkness. They were numerous, everywhere in the darkness.
There was an endless great army moving through the dark mist!
When Shi Hao learned what happened, he couldn't help but suck in cold air. The situation had become extremely bad

Chapter 1798 - The Most Terrifying Thing
Hundred provinces, just how vast was this?
Just how many days had passed? Yet such a huge amount of land fell into darkness. This meant that countless creatures had died, becoming corpses; this was definitely a great disaster.
Even now, they had no idea who the enemy was, where they came from. There was immediately a sea of creatures who died, this was a terrifying black storm.
Shi Hao stood in the distance, his brows deeply furrowed. He activated his Heavenly Eyes, staring for a long time. A chill ran down his back, even his scalp feeling a bit numb.
Right now, the scenes he saw exceeded his expectations!
In the darkness, figures were everywhere. There was a great army, all of them creatures of darkness. However, when he looked even more carefully, they looked familiar, as if he had seen them before.
"Could it be that they…" His voice became unnatural, making an extremely terrifying association.
There were several creatures that were rather close, breaking free from the darkness region, so he could see them clearly. Their hair was disheveled, blood flowing out from the corners of their lips, the expression in their eyes empty.
In the back, there was a black Flood Dragon like giant snake. It swam through the mountain region, thick like a water jar, immediately devouring their bodies, blood gushing out.
Pulengleng!
In the skies, a group of Flame Crows beat their wings, densely packed, pitch-black, diving down, immediately drowning out that Flood Dragon, feasting on its flesh.
In that instant, this place became incomparably bloody.
The black Flood Dragon was an extremely savage vicious beast. He struggled fiercely, shaking his body, striking away many of the Flame Crows, smashing apart their flesh and crushing their bones.
However, there were just too many Flame Crows, numbering in the tens of thousands. They were all extremely strong, fiery light spat out, their bird beaks incomparably sharp, a single peck enough to make great mountains explode.
That was why not long afterwards, the black Flood Dragon wasn't a match. His flesh was completely devoured, only a giant white skeleton left.
In this region, the darkness creatures' movements were extremely messy, struggles happening between them. They all wanted to attack the other party.
Shi Hao's feeling of coldness increased, because these creatures were extremely similar to those from the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, to the extent where they could be said to be the same species, the same clans.
He didn't utter a word, just continuing to watch what was going on.
There were humanoid figures who approached the border, becoming more and more lively. The darkness mist there was sparse, so he could see them relatively clearly.
Their clothes, their apparel, they were too similar to the people on the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, the styles traced back to the same roots.
A group of people walked out from the darkness region, stirring forth waves of black mist. There were waves of foul smelling wind as well, as if the most savage ancient beasts were moving about.
This type of fiendish aura made one's skin go taut. This was the omen of a great vicious being.
They were human form, many of them not any different from the human race!
Dong!
There were people who held metal rods, under a single strike, a ten thousand zhang tall great mountain was crushed to pieces, exploding there.
It had to be said that these darkness creatures were extremely strong!
They moved in groups one after another, these clans fighting each other from time to time too.
"Their clothing isn't just similar to that of the three thousand provinces' creatures, it's exactly the same!" Shi Hao's mind jumped, feeling more and more uneasy.
He felt like his suspicions were true, that the most terrifying thing happened.
"It's those corpses, they've come back to life!" Even though Shi Hao didn't want to believe it, he had to. The distance was too close, he could see the truth.
Their apparel, the way they were acting, it was no different from the clans of the three thousand provinces, they were completely the same species.
The ruined battle clothes, the mottled black blood, it was all the result of battle.
Their expressions were empty, like corpses, yet their bodies weren't deathly still, instead having characteristics of life, their hearts throbbing again.
However, their minds didn't seem to be well, as if they were still lost, not forming a complete consciousness.
"The dead creatures revived, only, they have fallen into darkness!" Shi Hao felt a headache. There was nothing more terrible than this. The massive territory of a hundred provinces, there were countless creatures within them.
If they all revived, this would simply be an unimaginable army!
At the same time, Shi Hao noticed that regarding these creatures with vacant expressions, their strength really wasn't weak, to the extent where it could be considered quite strong.
That humanoid creature, his metal rod directly smashed apart a giant mountain. There was also that scarlet red old ox, raging flames surging, melting down large areas of the mountain region into a sea of magma.
To turn the creatures of the three thousand provinces into one's own soldiers, just how terrifying was this?
The black mist spread. Within that great territory, it was unknown just how many creatures were moving. In the dark expanse, there were figures everywhere, the scene horrifying.
Within the hundred provinces, all of the creatures had fallen into darkness!
They turned from people into demons!
Just what kind of heaven reaching method was this?
Previously, their primordial spirits were erased, only their flesh shells left. Turns out there was a reason for this, their flesh could be revived, turned into slave soldiers to attack the three thousand provinces instead.
"Their bodies have been strengthened, becoming even stronger than before!"
Shi Hao felt a type of premonition that these demonized creatures were even more difficult to deal with then when they were alive.
He saw several species, for example, the heaven covering Flame Crows, the groups of Crocodile Dragons, all of them great clans. However now, they were just too many times stronger than before.
A Demonic Ape could jump from one peak to another, its constitution just too vicious, able to easily tear apart a mountaintop.
Following a muffled low roar, a scarlet red old ox rushed out. Fiery light overflowed into the heavens, mountains collapsing, earth caving in!
That day could be considered one of shocking changes. All types of creatures appeared in the darkness region, charging viciously, roaming about the darkness mist region, appearing before the eyes of the three thousand provinces' creatures.
"Not good, those demons are about to slaughter their way out!"
"Heavens, things are really bad, they are… our own clans! Only, they seem to have lost their intelligence, becoming servants, about to fight us!"
…
This was a day of great changes. Many people woke up. They saw what was going on. These were actually the creatures from the captured territories, becoming darkness creatures.
Without a doubt, there would be a tragedy of massacring their own. The ones who were fighting them all originally belonged to this world, of the same origin, yet their hearts were now changed.
"Where are Immortal Domain's reinforcements? Why are they not here? Didn't they say they were going to send their celestial troops and generals?" There were some who began to panic.
This was especially true for the clans that were closer to the darkness territory, their foundations nearby. If there were no powerful reinforcements soon, then their sects would be enveloped in darkness.
Even though the sects were all retreating, the foundations of their inheritances and many other things couldn't be brought away.
At the same time, a sea of mortals also couldn't withdraw. This region was too vast, the population too great!
Shi Hao watched everything carefully. What made him feel uneasy was that besides the endless darkness creatures, there were many mortals, tearing at each other, devouring each other, bloody and cruel.
As for those who devoured other people, if they lived, their constitutions would become even more powerful!
Even ordinary mortals could become stronger?
This was not good news. Inside the darkness region, just how many creatures were evolving like this?
Shi Hao understood. He previously saw the Flame Crow, black Flood Dragon, Demonic Ape and others races fighting against each other, tearing at each other, also evolving, becoming stronger.
Hou!
Shi Hao saw that in the darkness, there was a ravenous wolf-like vicious beast who opened its eyes. The radiance was cold like lightning, no longer empty, now completely developing its own will, becoming a king of a region.
It became even stronger!
It was because it had killed many creatures, devoured their darkness blood essence.
Hou!
There were some kings that released terrifying roars, shattering large amounts of mountain ridges, even more so suppressing quite a few creatures until they fell weak onto the ground, shuddering in fear, to the extent where they even exploded to pieces.
This region became increasingly bloody, becoming extremely terrifying.
The kings of different regions roared out at each other, approaching each other. An intense battle then erupted between them, wishing to devour each other.
"Not good!" Shi Hao felt like things were becoming more and more terrifying. This really was a demonic evolution! Extremely powerful experts were being produced.
The outside world sank into a state of panic and alarm.
The three thousand provinces' cultivators were always monitoring the darkness region. When they saw this rebellion, such shocking changes, they all shivered in fear.
Everyone understood just how terrifying this darkness region would become.
Honglong!
That day, the darkness region's battles weren't just between each other anymore, but rather spread outwards.
"They are slaughtering their way out!"
"Those terrifying creatures are pouring out like a tide!"
…
The hundred provinces of land rebelled, it was as if the heavens collapsed and the earth caved in.
Black mist surged chaotically. As these creatures charged out, it was like a roar, stirring up unrest in all directions!
A creature stirred on black mist, tearing apart the skies, the speed just too fast. It was like a defeated darkness luan bird king, releasing a long roar, making the great earth cave in. Its entire body was covered in blood, charging into the other provinces, continuously devouring flesh and blood, wreaking havoc in its wake.
The calamity was spreading!
In the back, there were even more terrifying kings that were in pursuit.
Moreover, this was just the tip of the iceberg!
The battlefield was cruel, the situation of the three thousand provinces dire!
That day, the hundred provinces of land spread, darkness creatures rushing out, black matter surging, engulfing over.
In one night, beast roars sounded continuously, bird cries endless, black mists overflowing.
Blood was left wherever they went.
The land of darkness immediately doubled in size, becoming two hundred provinces.
"Heavens, the Nine Heavens Ten Earths are finished!"
"Why isn't Immortal Domain sending out their troops? If this continues, this entire world will soon fall into darkness!"

Chapter 1799 - Immortal Domain Dispatches Troops
Many provinces were sinking into despair!
That day, the darkness devoured another hundred provinces. No matter how vast the three thousand provinces' territory was, there was no way they could stop this rate of corruption.
The most terrifying thing was that it wasn't just the darkness surging, there were true creatures wreaking havoc, all of them extremely strong, led by the evolved kings.
"We're finished, our realm really is going to be destroyed! I can see some familiar people, Jingang Sect's old sect master has been resurrected, becoming even stronger than before."
Someone said with a sigh, truly terrified.
He saw someone he recognized, someone that originally died in the darkness, unable to withdraw in time. His primordial spirit was completely erased, only an empty shell left now.
However now, he appeared again, clearly reviving. Moreover, he was transformed by the darkness, becoming much stronger than before.
Black blood flowed from the corners of his lips, the expression in his eyes like electrical radiance, releasing zheng zheng noises. Moreover, his body released a dark light, as if there were light sword cries. As blood flowed through his body, there were thunderous noises released.
One could see that wherever he passed, there were countless corpses. He directly fished out their hearts, then absorbed their essence blood, devouring them cruelly.
There was even less of a need to talk about the darkness region behind him. He slaughtered his way out from that place, just the kings who evolved to their final forms alone having several among them killed by him, their darkness essence blood devoured.
"Advancing through a mountain of corpses, continuously merging darkness essence blood, he has basically devoured a sea of creatures. This type of evolution is too terrifying!" Someone said with a trembling voice.
This was indeed a terrifying path. Only the heavens knew why it was like this!
It was because they were originally all dead, yet now, they were all vigorous, roaming the world once more, becoming even more powerful.
Only, their consciousness was now different, cold and indifferent, cruel and cold-blooded, no longer recognizing past old friends. When they saw them, they directly killed them.
During this process, Shi Hao took action. He previously killed some of the creatures who evolved into kings. He could kill them, but when facing the dark mist, it still left him feeling rather strained.
It was because a single moment of carelessness and he would be submerged under the darkness, his primordial spirit eaten through.
The sea of pitch-black substance was the source of this great calamity, able to protect all those who revived, moreover allow them to evolve.
This was just the beginning, not the ending!
If most of this world was corroded through, then the experts of this world would become even stronger. They would attack each other, mutually devour each other, become even more terrifying creatures.
Dong!
A drumbeat rang out within this world, extremely muffled and shocking.
Dong dong dong dong…
Then, drumbeats rang out continuously, loud and heavy like a sea. It was as if an ancestral dragon was roaring. Regardless of where it was, the cultivators of the great world could all hear it.
"Immortal Domain's troops have arrived!" Someone shouted, excited and overjoyed.
The cultivators of different sects were almost in despair. When they heard the drumbeats, they immediately revealed looks of joy, becoming incredibly moved.
Even though they were only a day late, everyone still felt as if a year had passed. The great sects were all withdrawing. Even the long life families of the Nine Heavens were preparing to withdraw, so how could ordinary inheritances not panic?
A wave of troops arrived through the heavens, appearing in the skies outside the darkness region.
There weren't many people, all of them surrounded by immortal light, great banners fluttering about. Chaotic energy was released, covering their magical force fluctuations, intimidating the creatures of darkness at the same time.
"Is there only one troop? There are only a few dozen of them, this number is too few! Will they be able to stop the creatures of darkness?" Someone said this, full of doubt.
If it was an immortal king, then that was one thing, but judging from their armor and other parts, they were clearly war generals, the highest level cultivators still impossible to be the extreme experts of Immortal Domain.
"The situation has worsened greatly, extremely bad. Everyone, withdraw, give up another hundred provinces of land!"
In the skies, someone ordered.
Then, they all rode their auspicious beasts, speeds extremely fast, sizing up the darkness region, observing along the borders of different provinces.
"We should just back off!"
They all backed off, in the end giving up another hundred provinces of territory.
"This is a dragon vein, we'll use it as the dividing line. Abandon everything on the other side of this line, withdraw to this side!" An expert from Immortal Domain shouted.
The faces of many cultivators from the three thousand provinces paled. They were giving up on too much territory! Their mountain gates and other things definitely couldn't be recovered.
Wu…
A conch bugle horn sounded. A path appeared from the distance. The true Immortal Domain army appeared, troops emerging one after another, lining up, covered in immortal mist.
Everyone could see that they were extremely powerful!
"Set up the formation, carry out your tasks as planned!" Someone ordered.
Honglonglong!
Formation cores flew out one after another, changing from the size of a finger to a giant mountain. They fell onto the dragon vein on the great earth, suppressing that dividing line.
Then, magical banners appeared everywhere, flying out down onto the dragon vein like raindrops, truly starting to seal up the darkness region.
The dragon vein changed, becoming like a wall. It stood tall, grand and imposing.
Seven hundred provinces of land now belonged to the darkness region, cut off here!
The three thousand provinces immediately lost a fourth of its territory!
Immortal Domain's troops set out not to kill, but rather to set up a barricade here, produce a sturdy 'wall', as if they were facing a great enemy!
In this realm, the hearts of all cultivators sunk, feeling like the disaster was even more terrifying than they had anticipated.
At first, many people felt that as long as Immortal Domain sent out troops, they would be able to dominate everything, sweep through the darkness territory, rescue them from this calamity.
However now, they discovered that Immortal Domain was only acting defensively, not slaughtering their way in. This was a terrible sign that left all of them feeling uneasy.
"Why is it like this?" Someone asked with a soft voice.
"Right now, before they have reached their strongest point, it is easier to get rid of them. Why aren't we taking action now?" Even some sect masters in the three thousand provinces were confused.
Now, while the darkness creatures were still evolving, wasn't this the best chance to take action?
"What do you all understand? What is terrifying is the darkness matter! Even if Immortal Domain's warriors enter, they might still die." Someone berated.
When these words were spoken, everyone's hearts went cold.
Just how terrifying was this darkness matter?
"This inauspiciousness is far more terrifying than your imagination!"
"One has to understand that the creatures of darkness are all people of this realm who have been killed, the true powerful darkness beings haven't appeared yet. If they rashly charge in and are ambushed by the true darkness creatures lurking behind, then that would be unimaginable."
Immortal Domain's words made their minds tremble greatly.
The true darkness disaster, this was only the beginning. It had just erupted, the true ultimate vicious beings haven't made an appearance yet.
This really was terrifying. If large amounts of Immortal Domain experts fell here and they were resurrected, devouring each other, carrying out an intense round of evolution, just what level of expert would be produced?
When they thought of these things, many people's bodies went ice cold. This type of darkness matter was simply impossible to deal with. The more they fought, the more soldiers the other side would acquire, moreover become even stronger!
"How did they achieve this? This defies normal reasoning!" Even the long life families' heads grew big, sighing.
What exactly was this darkness matter? It was simply impossible to understand.
Everyone found it hard to imagine just how those dead creatures were revived, how could they have become even stronger.
"This involves the most ancient struggles, accompanying the source of life, you all will not understand!" One of Immortal Domain's generals said.
On this dragon vein, great banners fluttered about, many troops from Immortal Domain stationed here. They were all incredibly serious, staring at the situation on this side.
In reality, even Immortal Domain's cultivators felt like the darkness matter wasn't easy to deal with. Only truly great figures understood it, previously facing it.
"Normally, when the darkness matter surrounds the great earth, even though there is creature evolution, it was still after many tens of thousands of years. Meanwhile, what is happening today is similar to a certain set of history. They definitely used some type of unmatched ancestral artifact to spur on this process."
"This is the start of the darkness calamity!"
"Just what kind of supreme treasure is it, to trigger such terrifying great changes?" Immortal Domain and Sacred Academy's supreme beings both came, seriously asking for guidance. The effects of this were too great.
"Over there!"
One of Immortal Domain's commanders whose attitude was still rather calm replied seriously to them. He produced a precious mirror, shining it into the depths of the darkness.
"That is…"
Many people saw that once the precious mirror shone, it was no longer pitch-black within the darkness region, some of the scenes could be seen.
There was an ancient artifact flowing with nine-colored brilliance, mysterious and hazy. It was a chest, but it hadn't been opened, rising and falling on an altar.
It caused the darkness matter to surge, engulf in all directions, possessing a type of terrifying activity!
Shi Hao was not far out. He also withdrew, personally witnessing this scene, his mind incredibly shaken.
Others didn't recognize it, but it was too familiar to him, feeling like it was deja vu.
"It's that thing?!" He was shocked, but soon afterwards, he shook his head. This wasn't it, it was something similar, definitely having a great connection.
He had previously entered an abyss within Burial Earth's underground veins outside Desolate Border, entering an ancient cave palace with Shenming and Sanzang.
There was a chest that looked like it was metal, yet wasn't, like stone, yet wasn't, impossible to open. It was this unmatched and mysterious ancient artifact.
According to what Sanzang said, that was the Origin Ancient Artifact!
There was nothing more precious and powerful than this!
Shi Hao never expected to see this type of ancient artifact in the darkness region as well, similar to the one he had previously seen, but it definitely wasn't that one.
It hadn't even been opened, yet things were already like this!

Chapter 1800 - Secret of Origin
The Origin Ancient Artifact had a truly terrifying ability. At the peak of its glory, it had previously created Burial Kings!
Was this something that made undead knights? Shi Hao definitely wouldn't forget what he clearly saw back then, he even almost died in that abyss' palace.
Now, there was a similar object that released nine-colored brilliance, flowing with hazy imperishable light, swirling with chaotic energy.
Darkness matter surged, possessing astonishing activity. All of the corpses were granted life, allowing them to stand back up, moreover gradually become more powerful!
"What is that? Is it an unmatched supreme treasure?!"
Everyone was shaken. Was it one of the most powerful magical artifacts? It could actually create this type of scene, making everyone's souls tremble. They all found this inconceivable.
Now that Immortal Domain sent out troops, there was naturally no lack of extremely powerful individuals among them. However, these people were also stupefied. Even though they sensed that something was strange, they never expected to see this type of mysterious ancient artifact.
"What is that? Does the commander know?" Someone asked quietly.
"I am not sure, it is too sinister. This thing has revived all of the corpses, even more mysterious than the artifacts of immortal kings. It is unimaginably powerful!"
Those on Immortal Domain's side looked like they were facing a great enemy, building an even longer line of defense along the mountain range. Great banners fluttered about, formation cores everywhere, forming a dark expanse, continuously piling up.
"What exactly are the darkness creatures, what kind of backgrounds do they have?" Some people began to surmise and make predictions.
At this time, and elder from Immortal Domain walked over. His age was great, even though he was nurtured every day by immortal energy and had taken all types of divine pills and wondrous medicines, one could still see that his blood energy was insufficient.
It was because there was only a layer of golden skin left around his entire body, wrapped around his bones. If one didn't look carefully, one might even mistaken him for a skeleton.
"Black calamity, it has happened before. That time, it was extremely cruel, but it was ultimately quelled, a battle my mysterious ancestor had experienced. As for even further back, as for whether or not it has happened, I do not know. That is a secret classified at an even higher level." The elder said.
Everyone stared blankly. This type of cruel disaster should have been carefully explained and passed down to later generations so they could be on guard, why did it end up becoming treated as a taboo level secret?
"I previously heard that this is something that touches upon the very foundation, for example, how did the other side appear, all of this might be related!" A commander said.
"Shut your mouth!" It was clear that this elder's status was exceptional. He berated the commander, not letting him speak too much. There were some things that were classified as top level secrets that couldn't be leaked out, there were naturally considerations and reasonings made by the higher levels.
The precious mirror was put away. The ancient artifact in the darkness disappeared, nothing visible any longer. One could only see that at the outer areas of the black sea, there were mountains and seas of creatures approaching.
This was a rapid rate of expansion. The region Immortal Domain set aside, after not much time had passed, was already eaten away, all of it becoming regions of darkness.
Newly evolved leaders and kings roared out within, glaring at the line of defense ahead.
Hong!
There was a creature who took action, a Nine-Headed Snake Dragon. Every single one of its heads was releasing black flames. It was massive, like a great peak, its offensive power astonishing.
"It was actually fast to this level, just how many days passed? However, the darkness beast kings already have such a powerful member!"
On the dragon vein side, everyone was shocked.
Killing the Nine-Headed Snake Dragon wasn't difficult, but these types of beast kings weren't few in number. There were many in every region, so how many of them were there within more than seven hundred provinces of darkness?
The most terrifying thing was this type of evolutionary speed!
Not much time had passed at all… it was only two weeks or so, yet they were already almost at the self release level. It really was horrifying, even shaking up one's soul.
Many people felt that this was absurd. Why did cultivators cultivate? It was to defy the heavens, undergoing all types of tribulations and bitterness before finally becoming strong.
Then what about these creatures of darkness? In just a short amount of time, they already accumulated more than ordinary cultivators did their entire lives!
Many people were unwilling, feeling a sense of defeat, even more so a bit discouraged.
"There is no need to feel discouraged. The reason why these creatures are strong is because they have continuously devoured each other. They look like a single creature, but they are actually a mass of a sea of beings." Immortal Domain's commander said.
According to what he said, the creatures of a provinces might ultimately be devoured by a single creature, all of the vital energy merging together, becoming the most powerful being.
Meanwhile, there was danger behind this as well. From a certain perspective, it might mean that strength would be acquired from a single feast.
"Once they develop true consciousness, the ability to strengthen through devouring will disappear, they will become normal creatures." Immortal Domain's elder said with a sigh.
However, this still made others sigh, shake in fear. This way of creating experts, just how terrifying was it?
"It can only create low level soldiers, the truly strong cannot be made unless there are some special bloodlines, or lucky evolutions." Immortal Domain's elder added, having everyone calm down.
Shi Hao didn't approach this place, instead, he was in another province. He was exploring, staying far away from Immortal Domain's experts, because he knew that those people's senses were sharp.
Needless to say, there were definitely true immortals among them!
However, he could also learn some things he wanted to know through the news that were transmitted out.
Hou!
A world-shaking great roar sounded. In the darkness, there was a creature that rose in rank. This was an elder whose hair was disheveled, entire body covered in blood, body releasing golden light.
"Vajra Gate's old sect master, he has continuously devoured beast kings and other creatures, becoming a cultivator at the peak of Self Release Realm. Is he going to defy the heavens?"
Many people were stunned.
They personally saw this scene. It was because that old sect master's pupils shed cold tears, as if they were two silver-colored lamps, releasing a faint glow. His consciousness was becoming more and more clear.
"Something isn't right, look, that mysterious chest flew over, stopping briefly over his head. Is this to grant him some type of benefit?" Someone cried out in alarm.
In the darkness, even the mist was scattered. The mysterious chest that released nine-colored brilliance flew over, rising and falling there, making Vajra Gate's sect master tremble.
"Is this to create a leading figure, have him become a supreme being level servant as soon as possible?" Someone said with a frown.
Immortal Domain's shriveled elder also revealed a serious expression. This type of chosen creature might produce a special bloodline, able to continue evolving, become a threat.
"Is this being operated by some true darkness creature behind the scenes? Or is it to say that this was the chest's own choice?" He said quietly to himself.
Then, he gave Vajra Gate's sect master a look, quietly ordering Immortal Domain's cultivators, "Get rid of him!"
"It is rumored that unknown in which era it was, Shutuo unexpectedly appeared just like this. Was this how he rose in strength?" A commander near the elder said this quietly.
Those nearby vaguely heard this. They all widened their eyes in shock, making sure they didn't hear wrong.
"What?!"
"There was actually this type of secret?!"
"Heavens, the source of the other side is related to these things? It was this complicated?" Those people were horrified, all of them feeling their scalps become a bit numb.
"This type of thing cannot be randomly spoken!" The elder scoffed. He looked around him, seeing that they were all Immortal Domain creatures, thus calming down a bit.
"Senior, we all know that this dark storm is but a corner of the real turmoil. As for how miserable it will be in the future, it has already been deduced by the great masters many years ago. Now, there are some things that, if they are blindly hidden, it will be unfair for us. We do not wish to be muddle-headed ghosts, even if we are to die, we wish to know clearly." That leader said.
Nearby, those people's fine hairs stood on end, all of them shivering. What was the meaning of this? This commander great one was actually this pessimistic. This was definitely bad!
"It is due to fear of raising panic that some things must remain hidden!" Immortal Domain's elder said coldly.
"But we'll most likely be unable to return to Immortal Domain. We're already at this point, if things are continued to be hidden from us, I cannot accept it!" The great commander said.
"We can't go back?"
"Why? Could it be that we are all going to die here?"
The others were also stunned.
A layer of goosebumps covered all of their bodies, feeling like they were in great danger. Didn't they say that this battle wouldn't be too difficult? When they were leaving Immortal Domain, many people sent them off, smiles on their faces, saying they awaited their return.
"Perhaps you all do not know, but there were glorious great figures who fought with the creatures of darkness, yet in the end could not return to Immortal Domain." The great commander said, his eyes shining.
"Did they all… die?"
"No, there are some who are alive, to the extent where they are still healthy in this world. However, they do not have the qualifications to return to Immortal Domain anymore, only able to remain in this world." The great commander's voice was shaking.
"Why?" One person asked with difficulty, swallowing a gulp of saliva.
"They are all in the life restricted regions!" The commander replied.

Chapter 1801 - Abandoned
They were all in the life restricted regions?!
Immortal Domain's creatures didn't understand. Since they were alive, why couldn't they return to their homes? There were many people among them who didn't understand the restricted regions of this world.
However, this was different for the experts of this world. They understood it well, knowing just how terrifying the restricted regions were. Even those as powerful as themselves, for example, Sacred Academy and Immortal Academy's elders, even at the Supreme Being Realm, didn't dare step foot into the Nine Heavens' life restricted regions!
"The creatures of the restricted regions actually had this type of background?"
A sect master with a rather high status in the three thousand provinces released a sigh. Only today did he learn about this.
In this world, only an extremely small amount of people knew just what kind of people the lords of restricted regions really were, for example, long life families and ancient imperial courts.
"If they are alive, why can't they go back to Immortal Domain?" One of Immortal Domain's leaders asked. Since they were still in this world, why couldn't they return to Immortal Domain?
They had just arrived, yet they already didn't want to remain here. This world was too impoverished, the great dao laws not complete, not suited to cultivation. It couldn't compare to their Immortal Domain at all.
"It is because Immortal Domain's gates are closed to them." The great commander's voice was shaking slightly, moreover clenching his fist. From today forth, they definitely didn't have the right to return again.
"What? It's closed off towards our own people?!" The others didn't believe what they were hearing.
"After fighting endlessly with the creatures of darkness, in the end, we will also become contaminated by the inauspicious energy that cannot be eradicated. Immortal Domain does not permit the return of any cultivator with this type of substance on them!"
The great commander's words made everyone else feel as if they fell straight into an icehouse, their bodies going cold. They all stared blankly, unable to utter a single word.
This news was just too terrible. They had a homeland, yet couldn't return, basically abandoned.
Meanwhile now, they still had to offer up their lives, fight with everything they had, pay this type of price, all for what? They were going to be forever exiled here!
Even if they didn't completely die off, what was the point of staying alive. They were abandoned by Immortal Domain, forever exiled in this world!
"Just how cold-hearted are those seniors?!" Some people clenched their fists. Meanwhile, in the end, they had to step on this path as well, their bones buried in a foreign land.
"We can only establish a restricted region afterwards, stay behind in this realm?" There was someone who was extremely unwilling, his gaze terrifying.
"Heh, you all are thinking too much. Establishing a restricted region with just you and me?" The great leader laughed, a bit dejected and bitter. "The seniors who could establish a restricted region all possess exceptional magical force. These individuals who have faced the most powerful beings of darkness, could you and me even compare to them?"
"Ah…" The others all cried out in alarm, all of them becoming fearful, ashen-faced. They couldn't even create a restricted region?
Soon afterwards, they understood. Throughout history, the great figures from Immortal Domain who fell, some of those creatures might not have necessarily truly died, but were instead living in the restricted regions!
This type of identity, this type of strength, was indeed not something they could compare to.
"Relax, my side will definitely send out more exceptional experts. If we manage to survive, we can just follow them into their restricted regions." The great commander said. Only, his words more or less carried some bitterness.
"You spoke too much." The shriveled elder spoke, looking at the great commander, his eyes deep, flickering with treacherous radiance.
"Why should we even stake it all here? Would paying this type of price even be worth it?" There were some who were furious. They left Immortal Domain to fight gloriously, yet this was what they would obtain in return?
The shriveled elder seemed to have a layer of skin covering his body, completely golden. He looked coldly at them, saying, "Your heirs, your loved ones, before you all left, they all received the greatest considerations. They will be sent into some of the most powerful inheritances! The price you all paid was worth it."
He only had this line for them, however, it made all of those restless leaders calm down. They opened their mouths, but they couldn't say anything.
This was the so-called repayment, as well as a threat!
Right now, their heirs and loved ones were still in Immortal Domain. They would obtain the teachings and resources of the highest level, in the future, they would have great accomplishments.
If they went against Immortal Domain's will, then they would be deemed traitors. At that time, what kind of punishment would their descendents and others bear?
Sacred Academy and Immortal Academy's elders were also here. As the leaders of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, certain supreme beings and long life family's old clan chiefs had the qualifications to be here.
At this time, they all felt restraining fear, their brows locked tightly. However, they didn't dare voice any of their opinions.
"The events here, some of it can be discussed, but there are some that you all cannot randomly speak about." The shriveled, golden skinned elder said with a deep voice.
Everyone felt a chill, silently nodding.
This elder was definitely a true immortal, moreover, his strength was not weak, making the great leaders all lower their heads. One could see just how great his status was.
"Has that darkness creature who might become a leader not been killed yet?" The elder asked. His entire body flickered with golden light, leaping out. He stepped on immortal mist, appearing in midair, overlooking the land of darkness before him.
Vajra Gate sect master's hair was disheveled, becoming stronger and stronger, roaring over there. He devoured another few beast kings' darkness blood.
"He isn't leaving the darkness region, don't tell me we have to go in?" A leader asked.
"Find a way to kill him!" The elder ordered.
Shi Hao was also watching from far away. That Vajra Gate sect master's range of activity was just too great. He continuously devoured the dark evolution kings.
"This is absurd, if this continues, will he become a supreme being?" Shi Hao frowned.
He clearly understood that this one was entirely different. He had previously been chosen by the magical artifact flickering with nine-colored brilliance, appearance similar to the other origin artifact. It had previously stopped over his head for a bit.
Sure enough, that creature headed towards this province, the disturbance too great. All of the darkness matter surged when it moved past, all types of creatures fleeing in panic.
It slaughtered everything in its path, all creatures of darkness it killed were devoured, making him stronger.
"He is about to reach the supreme being level?"
Shi Hao sucked in a cold breath of air, deeply shocked. His cultivation speed was fast, but compared to this creature, he was beyond slow.
This completely defied normal reasoning, even Shi Hao feeling jealous. The heavens really were unfair, there was this type of cultivation ascension?
However, soon afterwards, he calmed down, gradually collecting himself. He believed that everything in this world was balanced. When something was obtained, something else was lost, only through loss was there gain.
This type of abnormal cultivation speed most likely had hidden dangers, in the end, everything just might become nothing.
"Kill him. This creature is different, it cannot be allowed to head down a different path of evolution, not restricted by the darkness decree. In the end, it might become a second Shutuo!"
Immortal Domain's elder already couldn't sit still, strictly ordering the great commanders.
"Do we really have to risk our lives, enter the darkness?" Someone asked carefully.
"When we fight against the creatures of darkness, we will make contact sooner or later. It is unavoidable!" The elder said.
Chi!
A streak of divine light split the heavens. An expert from Immortal Domain took action, his cultivation profound, already practiced for many years. He quickly approached, charging into the darkness region.
Immortal Domain's troops, even though there were many, the number of those who achieved immortality was still few. There was no way all of them were creatures of that level.
Even if it was Immortal Domain, the number of those who achieved immortality was still extremely limited!
Hou!
A great roar sounded. Vajra Gate's old sect master's pupils were terrifying, like burning silver lamps. He didn't back up, instead diving over, facing this powerful enemy.
The dark matter surged powerfully. Immortal Domain cultivator's body immediately trembled. His strength was strong, but when facing the darkness matter, he was left in an extremely passive state.
Inside of the black sea, even magical force and other things were broken down, corroded. The situation was extremely dire, he needed time to get it over with quickly.
Pu!
The final result exceeded everyone's expectations. When the two parties clashed, Vajra Gate's old sect master's body released dazzling golden light, invulnerable, sturdy and unbreaking.
Meanwhile, Immortal Domain's cultivator was smashed apart by a single slap, his body breaking into two pieces, blood gushing out.
"Unbreaking, his body's toughness has already reached an inconceivable level. Normal people cannot deal with him at all!" A great commander frowned.
This was just the beginning, yet that disheveled elder already evolved to this level. If he was allowed to continue growing, he would definitely become a great disaster in the future.
"I will go!"
At this time, a powerful individual walked over from the distance, entire body swirling with immortal energy. He hadn't achieved immortality yet, but he was already a supreme being level expert.
With a honglong noise, immortal energy protected his body, hazy and indistinct, actually blocking the corrosion of the darkness matter.
"Only cultivators with rich immortal energy around them can resist the darkness' corrosion!" That shriveled elder said.
Even though Vajra Gate's old sect master was strong, he still wasn't the opponent of a Supreme Being Realm expert. As soon as they made contact, he immediately coughed out black blood, body flying outwards.
Heng!
However, right at this moment, within the darkness' depths, a great claw suddenly reached out, covering heaven and earth. It immediately approached, with a pu noise, it grabbed that expert from Immortal Domain, crushing him into a bloody paste!
This place became dead silent, everyone stunned.
"A darkness creature from behind the scenes has appeared, this quick, this swift!" Right now, the great commander's expression changed. Could it be that a great decisive battle was going to be fought right from the beginning?
"Things are much more troublesome now. I am sure that that Vajra Gate fella has been chosen as a darkness seed. He must be killed, I do not wish for him to become a second Shutuo." At this time, the shriveled elder actually moved himself, heading towards the darkness region.
He looked at the great claw that still hadn't retracted, and then at Vajra Gate's old sect master, closing in step by step.
Everyone was stunned. Just how many days had passed? However, trump cards were already being revealed, was a great decisive battle going to happen?!

Chapter 1802 - Blood of Darkness
The shriveled elder walked forward, crossing over the dragon vein, directly entering the land of darkness. Immortal energy surged around his body, carrying multicolored radiance, flowing with hazy brilliance.
Originally, the layer of golden skin around his wizened body already looked unordinary. Now, it seemed even more extraordinary.
Only, it was a bit strange. There was clearly immortal energy swirling about, yet he looked like a golden skeleton.
"The black calamity has arrived once more. This old one is going to eradicate evil, came specifically to get rid of you!" The elder said.
Chi!
His speed was too fast. He rushed into the darkness, entire body erupting with radiance, actually dispelling the black mist, making that inauspicious region become dazzling.
He reached out with a dried-up great hand, releasing golden radiance, crushing the void until it exploded, weng weng noises sounding. He directly grabbed that Vajra Gate old sect master.
Hou!
Vajra Gate's old sect master's hair was disheveled, the corners of his mouth carrying black blood. His eyes were like two small silver suns, extremely brilliant.
He could clearly sense danger. He didn't face this enemy, instead directly turning around and fleeing. However, the cold smile that appeared on his face made everyone's hearts tremble.
His gaze was extremely sinister, as if he was remembering this Immortal Domain elder. He turned around, actually escaping towards the depths of the darkness.
"Where do you think you are going?!" Once one's cultivation reached this elder's level, a raise of his hand could seize the sun and moon, grabbing the sun and moon would be extremely easy. If he wanted to kill, it was naturally extremely easy.
However, in the darkness, a giant claw reached over, covering the sky, terrifying beyond compare!
As it reached out, the great earth split open, the void breaking apart inch by inch. A black hole even appeared, the scene terrifying.
This was a creature from behind the dark storm. This was the true source of chaos! Now, a powerful being personally took action!
Peng!
Two individuals faced off. The void exploded, darkness matter surging powerfully. At the same time, immortal energy also crazily dispersed, interweaving here, attacking everything, forming great dao ripples.
This was a collision of natural laws, a confrontation of order. The voices and scenes all seemed to have originated from millions and millions of years ago, vaguely carrying the power of time.
A battle at this level was unimaginable. No one expected for a clash at this level to happen just a few days into the darkness calamity, for such a great battle to happen.
Hu!
Powerful winds stirred about, splitting the skies. Many great mountains on the earth were weak like paper, immediately turning into ashes, directly disappearing.
This was caused by just some slight fluctuations of the great dao force that leaked out from these two individuals' battles, yet it created such a terrifying scene.
They controlled everything extremely well, almost no explosive force seeped out, everything restrained within the heart of the battlefield, within the two great hands.
This scene was extremely astonishing. The giant beast claw was dark black in color, like that of a lizard's, yet also like that of a demonic bird. It was strange and sinister, carrying scales flickering with dark light.
It was completely unknown just what kind of creature it belonged to. Right now, it surged with power, filling heaven and earth, even larger than stars!
Meanwhile, the elder's palm released golden light, skin wrapped around bones. He also became giant, covering the heavens, holding back that beast claw. Great dao ripples surged between the two, continuously clashing.
This was the first great confrontation between a true immortal and a creature of darkness!
"Immortal Domain truly hasn't made any progress, still attaching such high regard to rules. Defeat is merely a matter of time."
Right at this time, a hoarse sound rang out, carrying an icy coldness, as well as a terrifying cruelty. It was as if an old tortoise was crying out, the sound ear-splitting and unpleasant.
This was released by a darkness creature. Great claws moved, terrifying spiralling dark light appeared, tearing at the arm of this Immortal Domain elder like a meat grinder.
Pu!
The arm of Immortal Domain's elder exploded, blood flying everywhere, carrying immortal light. Every single drop could destroy groups of stars, containing the power of true immortals!
However, even though he was this powerful, he was still injured. An arm was immediately crippled, corroded by a wave of mysterious laws. Dark light surged, about to invade into his body.
"I won way too easily." In the darkness, that voice said cruely and ruthlessly.
On the other side of the dragon vein, everyone's hearts sunk, feeling incredibly shocked. This elder's status was extremely high, he cultivated the Golden Skin Silver Bone great method, flesh incomparably sturdy, yet he immediately had his arm crippled. Just how terrifying was the enemy?
The troops from the different great long life families in the Nine Heavens Ten Earths all became silent. Even Immortal Domain's expert couldn't stop the other side, what were they supposed to do?
At this point, there wasn't anywhere for them to retreat to. There was only Immortal Domain, if they couldn't enter, then even if they stayed behind, they would die.
"Cough, when one gets old, one's energy starts declining. I was just a bit negligent and careless." The golden skin shone. Immortal Domain's elder coughed, blood trickling down from the corners of his lips.
He was backing up, his body staggering about. However, that broken arm was recombining, regrowing, bloody mist was surging, powerful vitality returning.
Moreover, in the sky, there were several stars that quickly brightened. There were some who were stunned, because when they opened their heavenly eyes, they saw that the stars were burning, surging with spiritual essence.
Immediately afterwards, these stars grew dim, burning into ashes. However, there were several waves of powerful star essence that surged over from outer space, turning into beams of light, entering the elder's body.
He directly burned great stars, absorbing their essence energy, restoring his broken arm. These methods were a bit astonishing.
During this process, the battle didn't stop, because the elder was releasing golden light from his body. Layers of ripples spread, stopping that beast claw.
In reality, when the beast claw brandished about, heaven and earth were split apart. It continuously fell, wishing to seize this chance to kill the elder.
Hou!
Suddenly, a great roar sounded from the distance. Vajra Gate's old sect master's figure became sluggish. He lowered his head, his silver pupils widening, looking at his chest. There was a streak of silver light that stabbed through, crushing his heart.
Pu!
Then, his body exploded, black blood splashing in all directions, remains falling in all directions.
That streak of immortal radiance seemed to be condensed from specks of blood, belonging to the wisps of blood that came out of the elder when his arm previously exploded. When his body recombined, not all of the bloody mist swirled back, some of it seeped underground, quickly moving, chasing after Vajra Gate's old sect master.
"The seed of darkness was killed!"
Many people on this side of the dragon vein were shocked. Then, they cheered. This was a victory for the elder, he left just to kill this vicious being, prevent him from becoming a second Shutuo.
It was because his evolution speed was too terrifying, as if there was no upper limit!
Who would have thought that things would go so smoothly, that the seed of darkness would already be eliminated?!
"Hah!" The golden skin shone, silver bones resplendent. The elder released a cold laugh, his battle strength surging. He faced off against that black beast claw.
En?
Suddenly, everyone was shocked, because the black blood of the killed Vajra Gate old sect master was also moving, not erased. In the end, it gathered together, forming a human figure.
"What?" Many people were shocked.
One had to understand that this creature was killed by a strand of immortal blood, making him explode, how could it revive again?
He hadn't reached the Immortal Dao Domain, still a mortal body, so a drop of immortal blood should have been enough to hack down the sun, moon, and stars, obliterate everything. He actually managed to survive?
This didn't match normal reasoning!
"It seems I must disappoint you. The seeds of darkness are imperishable, he will definitely grow up once more." In the depths of the darkness, a low voice sounded. That beast claw's attacks became even more ferocious.
At the same time, Vajra Gate's old sect master was completely reviving, bones reconstructing, truly growing. Moreover, a wave of powerful fluctuations was spreading.
He was roaring, going crazy. His body quickly became bigger, becoming a giant that towered between heaven and earth.
"Heavens, this is a supreme being transformation, magical body change. Is he going to advance again?" Everyone was stunned. This speed of evolution was hard for one to accept.
"A bit too fast, withdraw!" Someone spoke from the darkness. Moreover, a great claw reached out, crushing towards him, having him shrink, restrain the surging essence energy.
One could see that within that normal height body, the black blood became more and more exuberant, accumulating and concentrating. When it broke through in the future, it would be even more powerful.
In the darkness, a fine streak of light quickly fled. This was a drop of immortal blood, around it a bit of darkness blood.
"You wish to bring away the darkness blood of a chosen?" Cold laughter sounded from within the darkness.
The beast claw that faced the elder immediately changed, rapidly shrinking. Moreover, the original body appeared. This was a humanoid creature, at the very least, the outline looked close.
He was most likely intentionally turning into human form, even that beast claw turned into a fist. Darkness light surged, smashing towards Immortal Domain's elder, as well as attacking that smear of flowing light.
Immortal Domain's elder released a light shout. His body was sparkling, erupting with immeasurable immortal force, fighting intensely against him.
With a peng noise, the streak of flowing light still exploded in midair. The immortal blood scattering was one thing, but that bit of darkness blood was also rushing in all directions.
"Collect!"
Right at this time, on the dragon vein, another elder appeared, white beard white hair, his presence aloof and majestic. He really was like an old daoist immortal. In his hands was a jade cauldron, collecting the darkness blood that exploded in the sky.
Among the blood, there were several drops of black blood that entered the jade cauldron, sealed up by him. Then, he turned around, immediately leaving.
With things like this, that gold-skinned elder didn't continue fighting, also withdrawing. The seed of darkness blood he wanted was already at hand, so he quickly withdrew.
"That is… Old Immortal Doctor senior!" Above the dragon vein, someone cried out in alarm, recognizing the identity of the elder who held the jade cauldron.
At this time, a gate of light appeared in the distance. Old Immortal Doctor directly entered, quickly leaving.
He wanted to return to Immortal Domain, this gate taking him there.
"Heh, after wasting all of that effort, it was just to bring away a drop of darkness blood? So what if we give it to you? You all won't be able to find out anything." A creature laughed coldly in the darkness.
The great battle ended. The blood on the seed of darkness was actually worth such a huge move from Immortal Domain, seizing it like this.
The darkness creature on the battlefield didn't give chase. When he saw Old Immortal Doctor enter the gate of light, he gave up, directly disappearing into the darkness.
"Senior, is this blood extremely useful?" The great commander walked up.
"It is. This is darkness seed essence blood. The seeds of darkness that are chosen, the blood within them is extremely special. If it is completely researched, we can reverse the battlefield situation!" The wizened elder said.
In the distance, Shi Hao frowned. It was because of the black blood that exploded, a drop landed on his clothes.
In reality, after that strand of blood exploded, it flew towards various provinces. Many creatures of darkness fought over it, creating great disturbances.
Meanwhile, in the darkness, the powerful existence never took action, not paying any attention. The only ones he cared about were Immortal Domain's powerful individuals, just not willing to let Immortal Domain bring away the blood of darkness.
"There isn't much in this drop at all, but why does it give me such a bad feeling?!" Shi Hao's brows were deeply furrowed.
He cut off that area of his clothes, collecting it inside of a spatial magical artifact, and then withdrew.
"Not good, could it be that I'm going to be transformed by darkness too?" He was shocked. Even though he didn't make contact with that drop of blood, he still felt like something wasn't right. His body was currently releasing faint dark light.

Chapter 1803 - Extremist Restricted Region Lord
His body was acting strange, becoming a bit heavy. Specks of dark light flickered about. Was this a sign of demonic transformation?
Shi Hao shivered inwardly. He didn't actually make contact with the black blood, yet he was already silently contaminated?
"That drop of blood?!" He quickly fled into the distance, leaving that region. He wondered if it had something to do with that seed of darkness' blood.
Perhaps that was the only inauspicious thing that could affect him, right?
Shi Hao left the battlefield, quickly moving through the void, his figure thus disappearing without a trace.
Two days later, in a valley, dark light flickered about, waves of low roars sounding. Shi Hao was cultivating in seclusion, operating mysterious techniques, trying to erase the darkness matter.
"It should be because of that drop of blood."
Soon afterwards, he came out, his body returning to normal.
This process was extremely mysterious, and also extremely dangerous. In that instant, he was corroded by darkness.
Shi Hao got up. He felt a wave of hesitation, but in the end, he dug out that spatial magical artifact from below the valley again, within it that drop of blood. He carried it on him again. He began to wonder if this spatial artifact might be corroded through.
However, he had no choice but to bring it with him. He also remained extremely careful, paying attention to his body's changes, scared that he would be contaminated again.
Fortunately, there were no irregular changes. Shi Hao suspected that the reason why he almost became corrupted was because the drop of blood landed on his clothes, affecting him this way.
Crucifix Yin Yang Earth, the void here split apart, two streams appearing one after another, great yin and great yang force operating…
Shi Hao still walked that path. Others couldn't endure the pressure of the domain behind the gate, but he could hold on. This was a safe path for him.
In the end, he entered the lower realm, entering this desolate land that used to be a life restricted region.
"You actually managed to bring back this type of thing! This isn't normal darkness blood, but rather something from a seed level creature, darkness true blood!"
The restricted region lord was extremely shocked. Among the creatures of darkness, this was divine blood!
Its significance was extraordinary. With this blood, it represented limitless evolution, allowing one to become a giant among darkness creatures.
This was rare true blood produced by a darkness seed through great difficulty, after a complex process of sacrifice, the most precious treasure, something that couldn't be sought after, only stumbled upon.
"It wasn't a darkness seed produced by sacrifice, but rather a coffin that created it." Shi Hao informed the restricted region lord.
When the lord of the restricted region heard this, he trembled inwardly, saying, "Then it's even more special, a heaven's chosen seed, invaluable true blood!"
Shi Hao just knew this blood was extraordinary. He asked what kind of use this blood had, how he should deal with it.
"You should stay a bit further away from it, or else by keeping it close to you, it will corrode you, make you head towards darkness." The restricted region lord warned.
"There are no uses? Then I might as well directly destroy it." Shi Hao said.
"It is extremely hard to destroy. It will grow and multiply without end, unless you reach the Immortal Dao level, continuously purify it with immortal blood and immortal energy." The lord of the restricted region said.
Shi Hao shook his head. "Originally, I wanted to make use of it somehow, but seems like it doesn't have much value. I probably shouldn't have brought this thing back."
Shi Hao was a bit regretful. What if he ended up contaminating the lower realms? Once this black matter spread, he would become the eight regions' sinner.
"With me here, you don't really have to worry about this true blood spreading out. Hmm, perhaps it might have some great use?" The lord of the restricted region said.
"What use?" Shi Hao couldn't help but ask.
"You can bathe in darkness blood, allow it to completely corrupt you." The lord of the restricted region said.
"What?!"
Shi Hao backed up, extremely alert. No matter what, he definitely wouldn't let go of his current primordial spirit. If he did that, then it was the same as his flesh becoming imperishable, but already becoming a whole different person.
In reality, he didn't completely trust this restricted region lord yet. It was because everyone had their own secrets, let alone a great figure like this.
"Don't be in such a rush, listen to me first. The darkness matter is extremely terrifying, but blindly sealing it off isn't a solution. Sooner or later, you'll have to come into contact with it. If you can develop an immunity towards it, perhaps even exploit its power, then there really won't be anything to worry about." The restricted region lord said.
Moreover, he felt like this time, Immortal Domain might lose. Even if they could win, there would be great danger.
"In the future, this world will definitely experience history's most terrifying great turmoil, one that exceeds all previous ages, all great eras. That would be the most terrifying settling of accounts!"
"The darkness matter might be a great disaster, but perhaps one day, it can nurture the flesh, turn death into life. It'll depend on whether or not it can be used."
When the lord of the restricted region said these words, Shi Hao immediately felt many doubts.
"You want me to adapt to this darkness matter?" Shi Hao asked.
Once one was contaminated by that thing, there was no going back. Once one fell into darkness, lost sense of self, what else was there to talk about? His life would be over.
Otherwise, why would Immortal Domain be so persistent with sealing it off, not even those who fought with the creatures of darkness allowed back inside, forever abandoned, exiled?
"There is no room to think about others, this might be a chance." The lord of the restricted region said.
"This is too risky." Shi Hao shook his head.
"You've even been afflicted by the Immortal Breaking Curse, yet you're still alive, not crippled. If you can resist the darkness matter too, then you might truly be able to live through this great settling of accounts!" The lord of restricted region said seriously.
When Shi Hao heard this, he revealed a serious expression, not saying anything. He began to think carefully to himself.
"Perhaps you feel that you are already stunning enough, but let me tell you, before that great clash of powers, any being that jumps out can turn the sky and earth upside down, slaughter ten thousand races, do you believe me or not? It is because those creatures have all watched great eras rise and fall through the turbulent long river of time."
The restricted region lord's words were clear. If one wanted to truly rise up above this terrifying age, survive, then they had to have abilities exceeding the imagination of this world, break all types of forbidden records.
Shi Hao understood the reasoning behind what he said, but he still felt like this restricted region lord was mad, not treating his life like anything serious at all.
"This is it, you will be high up above, even sturdier than the world, eternally everlasting, imperishable through millions and millions of ages. Meanwhile, if you fail, it is nothing more than dying ahead of time, or else you will die in the beginning phase of the great showdown, there is no way you'll be one of those who will laugh last." The restricted region's lord spoke too directly.
"You are a madman!" Shi Hao said. However, in the end, he agreed. At first, his lips were opposed to it, but inwardly, he was considering it. For the sake of becoming stronger, he didn't hesitate to take risks, even if the chances of survival were slim.
"Excellent. A single drop of darkness true blood is only enough to use for now, in the future, you will have to completely immerse yourself in this type of blood." The restricted region lord said.
This made Shi Hao's expression change. This middle-aged man's clothes were purer than snow, he looked handsome and aloof, but his way of doing things was too terrifying.
"I will find a way to cultivate more darkness true blood. From here on out, prepare to be corrupted by darkness." He said.
Shi Hao thought for a bit, and then said, "No, I can't make that gamble. I need to take it step by step."
He decided that he was going to create another body. Either way, at his level, he could regenerate broken limbs, so building another flesh shell wasn't an issue.
"That's fine as well, create a darkness body, use him to fight with you, there will be more benefits." The restricted region's lord nodded.
In the end, Shi Hao left, handing this problem to the restricted region's lord.
He wasn't in a rush to return to Stone Village. He first entered the Void God Realm to see Bird Grandpa and Coin Elder.
"Two old farts, did you remember yet? What exactly is that rotten wooden chest, what kind of background does it have?" Shi Hao asked.
It was because this time, he saw a chest similar to Origin Ancient Artifact in the higher realm, so he became even more interested in the rotten wooden chest he grasped.
He didn't dare ask the lord of the restricted region, because he felt a bit of restraining fear towards him, still on guard.
One had to understand that the rotten wooden chest was something even Shutuo and Anlan wanted to obtain. It was something they went to great lengths for, willing to pay any price to obtain it.
The lord of the restricted region was perhaps precisely that level of existence before. Even though he was a ruined imprint now, unable to revive, Shi Hao still didn't dare act too recklessly.
If the rotten wooden chest had any strangeness, he was scared that the lord of the restricted region would develop some strange reaction.
At the same time, he wanted to have Bird Grandpa and Coin Elder help him think about this, find out if the lord of the restricted region was harmless. If these two elders could recall more things about the past, then he could obtain an answer that would make him feel more relieved.
"The rotten wooden chest is definitely not normal. We feel a type of restlessness from deep within us, but we just can't recall what it is."
"That restricted region lord, be on guard against him for now, do not give him this rotten wooden chest yet!"
This was what the two old fellas said, their expressions serious.

Chapter 1804 - Old Mom is the Strongest
Shi Hao stayed behind, his mind at ease, not running all over the place. He focused on increasing his own cultivation, allow himself to really be like a fish that turned into a dragon![1]
The situation was pressing, this world no longer peaceful, not like the previous peaceful times. If he was a mortal, then that was one thing, he didn't have a choice, but he had great talent, had hope of rising up.
The corruption of darkness began, as well as history's most terrifying great turmoil that was still to come -- a bloody showdown. This was a summoning of death, enough to make one suffocate.
In this type of age, as long as one was a cultivator, who didn't want to protect themselves, become stronger, change their fate like this?
Shi Hao cultivated bitterly, earnestly reflecting, pondering his own great path. He wanted to rise up in this world of turmoil, to slaughter out his own heaven and earth in the future.
What he yearned for was the ability to live through this age of chaos, protect those at his side. He needed to be strong enough to protect Stone Village's peace and tranquility, didn't want his loved ones to die miserably. He wasn't willing to see the great world wither away, for there to only be scorched earth and dried bones left.
However, he didn't know if he could really succeed. The future was too cruel. Even if he had seen a corner of the future, it still wasn't trustworthy.
It was because no prophecies could be treated as real. Things that didn't happen yet, no one was certain that they would definitely happen.
Moreover, back then, that corner of the future he saw, the situation wasn't that great either. Even though he lived, it was bleak, he was powerless, a great tragedy!
No matter how many years passed, he still wouldn't forget the corner of cruel future he saw.
The entire world was silent, all life extinct, everyone killed in battle. He was the only one who made it through, all alone. Behind him were the remains of a scorched black willow tree, nothing else left.
Each time he thought of this, his heart would ache, hard for him to suppress this feeling. He would feel extremely suffocated, the source of this only fear.
He wasn't willing to believe, nor did he dare believe those futures. He always told himself that there was a way to reverse the situation.
Later on, Shi Hao had asked some formidable individuals for their opinions, also asking for their guidance, for example, Great Elder Meng Tianzheng. However, they didn't seem to be too worried, telling him that things that hadn't happened yet would never be conclusive.
Apart from this, according to their deductions, even if something like that happened, what Shi Hao saw wasn't the final ultimate scene.
It was because in the end, he stepped into the heavens, treading on the summit of divine dao, but then went further. This meant that things weren't finished…
Meanwhile, this made Shi Hao's mind tremble even more. There was no ultimate scene, yet it was already like this, just what was he going to experience in the future? If was as if everything was covered in shadows, clues appearing from time to time. How could he feel at peace?
He wanted to become strong enough to the point where he could truly reverse everything. This was especially the case when he went into the higher realm, saw the creatures of darkness, saw Immortal Domain's soldiers move out, making him feel more and more like his current cultivation wasn't enough.
"I want to become stronger!"
In the great wilderness, Shi Hao released a great roar, his voice splitting the heavens. Fortunately, this place was far enough from the village, or else when this type of great dao ripples were released, there would be great problems.
However, he quickly controlled himself, directing his divine voice into outer space, allowing it to ripple in the heavens.
Shi Hao sighed. This lower realm's land was too weak for him. A single mishap and he might end up provoking a huge disaster.
This really wasn't a place suited to cultivation. Not only was the great dao flawed, even the great earth below his feet easily caved in, easily collapsed.
"The great dao being flawed is a whetstone for me to sharpen myself with. I am going to start from myself, use the body as a seed, continuously break through and become stronger!"
However, where could he go that was sturdy enough?
Shi Hao looked towards the borders of the eight regions. He could slaughter his way into the primal chaos, storms ravaged those areas, the void unstable, easily producing great void cracks that obliterated cultivators.
Perhaps only this type of cultivation land was suitable for him!
Shi Hao put his words into action. He broke through the realm wall, slaughtered his way into primal chaos, using the most chaotic energy storms to refine his body, assist with his cultivation.
He had ancient scriptures and secret methods, grasping exceptional great methods. Moreover, he had the body as a seed path. What he lacked was the baptism of time, as well as comprehension gained from calming the heart.
Shi Hao focused all of his attention, but this couldn't be considered bitter seclusion cultivation either. He returned to the village from time to time. He wanted to find people to exchange pointers with!
After every set amount of time, he would return, head to Void God Realm's dark prison to test out his accomplishments, fighting intensely against the existences sealed in those tile vessels, fighting bloodily against those supreme stone statues bound by chains.
Moreover, from time to time, he would head to the barren life restricted region to accept the torment of the life restricted region lord, for example, allowing the Immortal Breaking Curse to flare out.
Meanwhile, recently, he even began to start coming into contact with the darkness blood, risking his very life to refine his own great dao path!
"What is the so-called immortal through millions and millions of ages, what is everlasting? All of it is obtained through battle. My sword will cut through all ages, my fists suppress the past, present, and future!"
Shi Hao vowed. He released a low roar, strengthening his conviction.
"What sword cutting down all ages, suppressing past, present, and future, stinky brat, get back here. Your age isn't that young anymore, it's time for you to get a wife!"
While Shi Hao was worked up, stirring himself up, someone cleared their throat behind him, immediately making him go rigid, as if a seal had been placed on his body.
Originally, he was full of fighting spirit, yet now, all of it was ruthless destroyed.
The world was great, but old mom was still the most powerful!
Behind Shi Hao was precisely his mom. She cleared her throat, calling him over just like that.
He called her old mom, but in reality, Qin Yining was still extremely young, in her prime, her age not great. Moreover, she was a cultivator, and her cultivation wasn't weak.
Recently, she had always been worried, scared that something unexpected would happen to Shi Hao, wishing for him to marry earlier and settle down, leave behind an heir.
It was because this eldest son of hers really was good at causing trouble, his cultivation possibly disappearing, yet he was still so restless, running into the higher realm when he had nothing better to do.
This was especially the case when she heard that Shi Hao actually fought against some darkness creature, moreover even now unresigned.
"I don't care how lofty your ambitions are, you are my son, so you must get married!"
Qin Yining was normally extremely gentle, a good wife and loving mother, but right now, she was a bit pissed, rarely exercising her great authority as this world's strongest old mom.
She was scared, worried, hoping that marriage could make Shi Hao become a bit more peaceful, wishing for him to not take as many risks, to not fight against those darkness creatures alone.
There were some things that Shi Hao didn't explain too clearly to them, scared that they would all be worried. That was why Qin Yining didn't understand that well, just feeling that life was extremely peaceful right now, that her eldest son was going too wild.
"Mom, you know that I wish to pursue the great dao, wishing to overlook the long river of time even after endless ages go past, watch as great eras rise and fall." Shi Hao said.
"I know, but your surname is Shi, and you've reached wedding age, so you should leave behind an heir!" Old mom was still the most powerful, saying this domineeringly.
"Child, you should consider these matters. As their child, you should understand how your parents feel." This time, even the benevolent old clan chief Shi Yunfeng spoke up.
"Grandpa Chief!" Shi Hao widened his mouth.
In reality, it wasn't just them, even the others in Stone Village hoped for him to get married, to leave behind descendants.
This was especially the case when even the crimson dragon disciple was snickering, mocking him, egging him on to get married earlier, to just peacefully settle down in Stone Village, not go out and provoke trouble all the time.
As a result, this dragon was kicked flying, a miserable scream echoing through the air. His body spun into the distance, disappearing into the horizon.
"Mom, you should know that I've even met princesses of long life imperial courts, came into contact with the pearls of undying families, yet my heart was never moved. You want me to pick a dao companion now, it's hard for me to immediately find a suitable one!" Shi Hao was trying to find an excuse.
"Isn't there one right there?!" Qin Yining said quietly, but rather forcefully, pointing at Yun Xi who had just returned from picking medicines in the great wilderness.

Chapter 1805 - Bottleneck
"Master, I've returned again." In the horizon, a crimson dragon turned into a streak of scarlet multicolored light, jumping around, full of joy, as if he was purposely mocking Shi Hao, returning like a streak of lightning. Moreover, when he saw Yun Xi at the front of the village, he laughed in an evil manner, calling her martial mom.
Peng!
As a result, he flew out again, this time, when he was kicked by Shi Hao, the foot quickly enlarged, becoming like a mountain, kicking him to who knew where. Either way, he immediately went unconscious, no sign of him to be found for several days.
Yun Xi's complexion was fine like jade. However, she was rather calm. Ever since this girl followed him into the lower realms, after saying she would take care of Shi Hao, her mind had been peaceful, having a type of aloof and otherworldly temperament, as if an exiled immortal landed in the realm of mortals.
Shi Hao definitely couldn't refuse Yun Xi before her face. Even though she had just returned after picking medicines from the great wilderness, not hearing those words, this was a smart girl, able to guess at the truth just from some clues.
In reality, when she saw Qin Yining's gentle gaze, as well as recalled the recent pampering and care, Yun Xi long noticed what was going on.
"Tell me right now, who exactly are you going to choose?!" Qin Yining secretly asked.
Shi Hao was stunned. This wasn't a matter of who he was choosing, but rather that there was a pit in his heart that he couldn't crawl out of.
It hadn't been long since the Desolate Border Great Battle had ended, less than half a year. Great Elder Meng Tianzheng died in battle, even more so, Huo Ling'er was captured along with all of Sin Province, falling into the other side, unknown if she was still alive.
"I know that you have many thoughts weighing down on your mind, unable to immediately let those things go, but those people have died, forever unable to return. We have to look forward." Qin Yining advised.
In Qin Yining's opinion, Huo Ling'er couldn't return, or it could even be said that she was already dead. Was Anlan someone of the good sort? Would he leave behind living mouths after seizing Sin Province?
Moreover, even if there was really a miracle, even if Huo Ling'er was alive, not dead, what use was that?
Now, the two worlds were isolated from each other, a heavenly moat between the two that was impossible to cross. Desolate Border's great battles had ended, the two sides completely disconnected.
If the two sides wanted to meet again, then it would be a long, long time, perhaps a great era.
Alive was fine, if she was dead, then she was dead. Either way, they didn't have any karma to meet again in this life. Qin Yining also felt regret, worried that Shi Hao couldn't let go of these things, which was why she wanted him to get married as soon as possible, forget about the unhappiness, cut away the bitterness.
"Give me a bit more time." Shi Hao left, not returning, heading into the primal chaos to cultivate.
"Huo Ling'er is a good girl, but you two already no longer share any karma." Qin Yining sighed from the back.
She was pulled back by Shi Ziling. Nobody understood one's son better than the father, Shi Ziling knew that his son wouldn't forget about what happened, no matter what they said. Perhaps he was even using this type of regret to motivate himself.
In the following few years, Shi Hao always cultivated bitterly, his dao skills advancing steadily, continuously growing, fast to the point of leaving one horrified.
One had to understand that at his age, reaching the peak of Self Release Realm was completely unheard of since ancient times. Another step forward and he would be touching upon supreme being territory.
The creatures of darkness' evolution speed had to be ignored, because that type of strength upgrade was abnormal, not obtained through one's own cultivation.
Shi Hao truly cultivated his own skills, his fighting prowess astonishing. After many years of time, he continuously broke through, always advancing, his strength becoming greater and greater.
That day, a great noise sounded in the primal chaos. He fully consolidated his cultivation at the Self Release Realm, already reaching a consummate level, at the absolute peak of this realm!
This type of accomplishment, if news of it got out, it would shake up the higher realm. None of them would expect someone in the lower realms to be on the verge of reaching Supreme Being Realm at such a young age!
It could be said that it was never seen before in the Nine Heavens Ten Earths.
It was extremely astonishing, world-shaking.
In the following year, he tried to break through, to reach the peak domain of Mortal Dao.
"I am only a bit off, why can't I enter this level?" Shi Hao frowned. He wanted to rush into the Supreme Being Realm, but he failed. He couldn't continue forward from the consummate level of self release.
He returned, heading back to Stone Village, and then went to temper himself in the Void God Realm, facing those sealed creatures again. Unfortunately, the effects weren't that noticeable, still unable to break through.
During this time, Qin Yining raised the same topic again, hoping for him to leave behind an heir, to not have any regrets.
Stone Village's people were all extremely hopeful as well. Shi Hao's talents were something anyone could see, so they all hoped for him to get married and leave behind an heir, leave behind some bloodlines in Stone Village.
Shi Hao smiled, muddling his way through again. It seemed like his path in the lower realms had reached its limit. Now that several years had passed, he wanted to enter the three thousand provinces again, see what was going on with the darkness calamity.
At the same time, he wanted to search for some opportunities, see if he could break through in the higher realm.
When Shi Hao entered the three thousand provinces again, he was extremely shocked. The battlefield was cruel, Immortal Domain's troops suffering considerably, while the darkness territory had enlarged many times!
It wasn't just the three thousand provinces where darkness ran rampant, occupying one to two thousand provinces of land.
Apart from this, the 'back calamity' appeared in the other parts of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths one after another!
Now, this was no longer limited purely to the three thousand provinces, the other ancient continents were also like this, already producing dark matter. A terrifying disaster descended.
Immortal Domain had no choice but to send out more troops!
During this period, slaughter happened continuously, the cultivators of all sides suffering disastrous losses. During the past few years, bloodiness accumulated,the corpses were countless, all of it caused by slaughter.
Shi Hao was truly horrified as he took everything in. He heard that there were even true immortals who died in battle!
This type of stalemate confrontation was extremely terrifying and intense, both sides slaughtering each other viciously. Terrifying primordial darkness creatures appeared, iron-blooded and ruthless, killing intent overflowing into the heavens.
Shi Hao didn't join in on this, only taking action from time to time along the way to size up these darkness creatures. He didn't want to unleash slaughter now.
Right now, it was still his period of hibernation. With his cultivation, he couldn't change anything even if he joined. Only when he was strong enough, when a single blade could hack open the dark battlefield, only then would it be meaningful.
Along the way, Shi Hao still tried to break through, searching for opportunities. He wanted to enter the Supreme Being Realm!
Unfortunately, things didn't go smoothly at all, he couldn't succeed, still stuck at the peak of Self Release Realm.
Shi Hao was rather disappointed. He just couldn't figure out why he couldn't break through this barrier.
If others knew he was thinking this, they would definitely become stupefied and curse him out. He really was too greedy! From the distant past until now, there weren't any supreme beings under five hundred years of age.
Meanwhile, just how old was he right now?
His cultivation period was too lacking!
Even the most stunning individuals in ancient times, the ones who cultivated the fastest, continuously broke records, had to use several centuries of time, and this was a miraculous feat.
Meanwhile, right now, Shi Hao, in the eyes of predecessors, was too tender, unrealistically young, yet his cultivation was already world shocking.
"No, this won't do, I want to break through!"
In the end, Shi Hao headed out again, returning to the lower realms, bitterly cultivating again. In the blink of an eye, another few years passed.
Shi Hao now cultivated for ten years in total in the lower realms. He was at the consummate level of Self Release Realm, couldn't advance any further, reaching the absolute limit. He had previously guided down lightning tribulation many times, trying to assist with his own breakthrough, but it was still useless.
The Supreme Being Realm couldn't be touched!
It was to the extent where, because he forcefully tried to break through, there were two times where he almost died. Once, he triggered a great collapse in the primal chaos, his flesh rotting, the other time in the starry sky, his body was badly mangled, breaking apart inch by inch, making many stars fade out of existence eternally.
Shi Hao reached a bottleneck phase. He knew that his path really wasn't easy to continue. If he wanted to become the youngest supreme being, it seemed impossible.
However, he couldn't accept this. He didn't want to advance only after a few centuries!
He just wanted to break the record, create a miracle!

Chapter 1806 - Thoughts Too Deep
Shi Hao released a light sigh. In the end, out of helplessness, he sought out the restricted region lord.
Originally, he was extremely prideful, hoping to break through this bottleneck by himself, to advance boldly, truly rise up amidst the impossible. However now, he went to seek guidance.
He didn't understand. Why was it that even though he was so powerful, his dao skills mastery profound, practically unmatched under the heavens in the Self Release Realm, that he just couldn't take that crucial step?
The restricted region lord was astounded, not saying anything for a long time. It was because even he was a bit stunned. This youngster wanted to break into the supreme being level in such a short amount of time?
Did Huang know that forget about this great era, even if it was Immortal Ancient Great Era, there were no supreme beings under five hundred years of age? It was something that needed the tempering of time, the baptism of years.
"You are too impatient."
The restricted region lord could only release a light sigh. He didn't dare compare himself to him, because being compared to this youngster who was only in his thirties, yet already wanted to become a supreme being, it really did deal a great mental blow.
"How can I not be impatient? The higher realm's great war rages incessantly, who knows when it'll be completely corroded by darkness matter? I have to rise up in the shortest amount of time!" Shi Hao's attitude was firm.
"Then do you know that in this world, there has never been a supreme being under five hundred years of age? At the very least, there hasn't been any in the past great era or two!" The restricted region lord said.
Shi Hao became speechless. Could it be that what he was asking for was too much? He couldn't help but ask, "There really aren't any?"
The restricted region lord didn't say anything. Was this fella mocking his predecessors?
"Why aren't there any?" Shi Hao asked in confusion.
"There were indeed people who achieved Self Release Realm's peak at a young age, but just like you, they immediately came to a stop here, difficult to advance further. Only after a period of time did they advance further. The main reason, is that if one wishes to become a supreme being, the amount of experience needed is too much. What is needed is not only the accumulation of power, there is also the accumulation of magical force, even more so the tempering of the mind." The restricted region lord explained.
"Can you give me more concrete advice on what to do?" Shi Hao was a bit anxious, just feeling like time didn't wait for him, that he didn't have much time left. If he didn't rush into the heavens soon, be on equal footing with those great ones, then he might not have a chance anymore.
"If you want to enter the Supreme Being Realm, you need to experience the hundred faces of life, struggle in the great world of mortals, continuously temper the mind. In the end, when your heart is freed, when the shackles are released, you will stand at the peak of Mortal Dao, become a supreme being." The restricted region lord said.
"I need to experience the hundred faces of the mortal world?" Shi Hao's brows furrowed tightly. He felt like this was extremely troublesome, that it would take an extremely long amount of time.
Even though he knew that tempering the heart was essential, a process he couldn't avoid, he still felt like there wasn't enough time.
The restricted region lord said, "On the path of cultivation, there will always be some checkpoints that are a bit special, needing all types of harsh conditions to unlock, only then could they be truly passed. As the final level of the Mortal Dao, it is naturally difficult to cross."
"Then why why can the creatures of darkness overlook the refining of the mind, directly break through when enough power is accumulated, blood pure enough?" Shi Hao mentioned those creatures.
During these past few years, he carefully and cautiously came into contact with the blood of darkness, but he didn't truly immerse himself in it.
At the same time, he forged another body, also adapting to darkness blood bit by bit, not directly merging with it.
"Those creatures only have strength, they are slave soldiers, unable to truly develop. Their so-called Supreme Being Realm advancement is still only in terms of power, an unrealistic mirage, cannot be treated as the real deal. Only the seeds of darkness, those special heaven's chosen, they are a bit different, able to advance. However, if one deeply examines this, there is great terror behind this!" For the restricted region lord to say this, it was clear that there were some things he hadn't explained fully.
"I will go and temper the heart!"
Shi Hao left, sometimes remaining in the lower realms, sometimes heading to the three thousand provinces, his figure appearing in both places.
In the following decade of time, he continuously spent his days in the world of mortals, spending some time as a strict teacher, as a mulberry tree picker, a pasture master, even spending some time as a beggar…
Shi Hao let everything go, experiencing all types of things, spending his days in the roiling world of mortals, completely immersing himself in this domain, experiencing the different faces of life.
Ten years later, he returned again.
Unfortunately, he still failed, unable to advance.
"Temper the mind further!"
After several months of reflection, Shi Hao set out again, no longer cultivating, instead wandering from place to place, visiting famous mountains and great rivers.
During this process, even though he wanted to cultivate the dao, he let everything go, no longer touching it. He just experienced the rise and fall of the mortal world just like that.
Unfortunately, after another decade, when he returned again, he was still unable to become a supreme being.
Shi Hao sighed, unable to calm down. He visited the restricted region lord again.
"You have things preoccupying your mind, moreover, they are too deep, always wanting to become a supreme being, desiring to break through. The more it is like this, the harder it is to break through." The restricted region lord shook his head.
Shi Hao became silent. This was precisely what he wanted, to become a supreme being, quickly soar into the heavens, so how could he just let it go?
"Moreover, you are thinking about quite a few things, wishing to head to the other side and rescue people, to change the battle situation of the future, these thoughts are too deep. This checkpoint, how can you cross it?"
"I'll cross it even if I can't cross it!" Shi Hao clenched his teeth.
"In this type of situation, you can already be considered to have gone mad. In my opinion, you might as well cut off your path, leave the world of cultivators, return to the world of mortals." The restricted region lord actually spoke these words.
Moreover, his voice became extremely grand, dignified and sacred, as if there was a great hammer brought down.
Shi Hao became quiet, his face warping. He clenched his fists tightly, expression changing continuously.
Only after a long time did he calm down. He gave the restricted region lord a deep bow, saying, "Many thanks for senior's warning, to remind me to change my ways."
Shi Hao left, walking extremely slowly, directly disappearing. He returned to Desolate Region, to Stone Village. From that day forth, he gradually forgot about cultivation, no longer thinking about it.
This type of state was extremely strange. He wanted to forget about the methods of cultivation, many secret methods and other things becoming vague, all left far away.
This time, it wasn't forcefully stopping his cultivation, but rather carrying a type of internal self baptism, wandering between the border of giving up and gaining, freeing the self. In the end, he threw everything aside, temporarily freeing himself from the world of mortals.
"Child, so many years have passed, is there anything you can't let go? Are your thoughts still so deep? Me and your father truly wish for an heir!"
Qin Yining spoke up, bringing up old matters again.
"Is that so? Turns out my thoughts were actually this deep, even in the topic of marriage and children, I still haven't let it go, full of misgivings." Shi Hao released a light sigh.
In the end, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes extremely bright, and also extremely clear, as if he realized some things. "I, can get married."
Shi Ziling and Qin Yining were stunned, and then they became overjoyed.
After all these years, they already acknowledged Yun Xi. That beautiful and aloof Celestial Clan youngster followed him down into the lower realms, not abandoning Shi Hao even when he was being ruined. In the past, she said she would take care of Shi Hao, and now, she truly never left all this time.
Stone Village was full of a festive mood. When news traveled out, the old clan chief Shi Yunfeng and the others were so happy they couldn't conceal their joy, as if they were celebrating a festival. All types of cheers of happiness and laughter sounded.
Now, many of the children had already grown up, already taking wives and giving birth. Quite a few people always wanted Shi Hao to leave behind some heirs, now, this was finally going to happen.
"Yun Xi, is she willing?" Shi Hao asked his mother. He didn't want to force the other party.
"That child's heart is something I understand. She is willing, or else she wouldn't have stayed here all this time. When your body suffered a great problem, she still followed you into the lower realms." Qin Yining replied.
Shi Hao became silent, nodding.
There were some things that left him feeling helpless, but he still had to make a choice.
He stared into the distance. Could he wait a great era of time? As time passed by, would that figure under the Fire Mulberry Trees still remain?
After a light sigh, it was as if he could see over hills and dales, the blooming Fire Mulberry Flowers, sparkling flower petals dancing in the air.

Chapter 1807 - Marriage
During these past few years, the feeling Yun Xi gave off was an aloof and calm one, as if she was completely withdrawn from worldly affairs, gentle, peaceful, and calm. She picked medicines in the mountain in a tranquil manner, as if she was a goddess in a world of mortals.
However, today, her sparkling white and beautiful face became slightly red, her expression changing, unable to remain calm anymore, startled by the sudden news.
Qin Yining came, wishing to have her and Shi Hao get married!
Even though she long had a feeling that this would eventually happen, so many years passed in a flash, and only today did she receive clear information. That was why she was momentarily stunned.
She was a bit flustered. Even though she had previously made mental preparations, she still felt like this was 'sudden'.
Should she agree? She originally came down into the lower realms precisely to take care of Huang whose cultivation was going to be crippled, not wishing to abandon him, to repay him in this way.
However, who would have thought that Huang's cultivation wouldn't decrease at all, sticking it through all the way until now. Even now, he was still extremely healthy!
He was like an undying cockroach. There was such a great calamity, this was the Immortal Breaking Curse we were talking about, something that could even cripple true immortals, yet he could actually still stick it through! It really was unbelievable.
She wasn't able to personally take care of Shi Hao. Previously, she had thoughts of leaving, but Qin Yining stopped her, the reason simple, that Shi Hao hadn't broken free from the Immortal Breaking Curse yet, he might still be crippled at any time.
Now, Qin Yining further asked her to marry Shi Hao.
Regardless, the significance of a dao companion, for a female cultivator, was something entirely different. She found it hard to calm down, actually feeling the urge to run.
Qin Yining prevented her from doing so.
Perhaps women understood women the best. They quietly discussed things.
Yun Xi thought back to the events of the past, all of the different things that happened. In the beginning, her and Shi Hao wrestled each other, she even had her ears bitten on, but later on became friendly, becoming close friends.
In the end, they even more so traveled together through life and death. Shi Hao protected her, escorting her through the bloody plains, bringing her back to Celestial Clan. These were memories that she cherished, hard for her to forget.
Only, the things Celestial Clan did were like a blade, hacking through these beautiful scenes.
When she learned that Shi Hao was being crippled, that he was afflicted with the Immortal Breaking Curse, she didn't feel any hesitation, insisting on following him, precisely to restore the past fractured relationship.
The past was already the past. However, now that she looked back, when she asked herself, she was sure that she didn't hate Shi Hao, following him at his side instead brought many joyous memories.
She knew that she did like him.
However, there were some things that happened back then after all, so now, could she truly become his dao companion?
Yun Xi knew that Shi Hao always advanced boldly, domineering the lower realms, ascending into the Nine Heavens, he even fought in Desolate Border. He definitely didn't only have a single close female friend, would he be able to let them all go?
This so-called letting go, was directed at the things she had to face in the future, as well as Shi Hao who was to become her dao companion.
It was because in the future, what if those women appeared again? What was she supposed to do? Meanwhile, would Shi Hao truly be able to forget them like past beautiful sceneries? At the very least, she knew that there was a Huo Ling'er, even though her current condition was unknown, there was a deep imprint left in Shi Hao's heart.
Yun Xi's thoughts were a bit complicated, a bit contradictory, but also a bit happy.
In the end, she agreed.
Qin Yining immediately smiled.
In the distance, the crimson dragon's entire body was fiery red, scarlet multicolored light swirling about, currently moving its entire body, shouting out, "The heavens are great, the earth is great, but old mom is greatest!"
This was clearly done on purpose, to mock its cheap master, purposely provoke Shi Hao.
It was because it knew that this marriage began precisely because of Qin Yining's inciting.
Even though Shi Hao's cultivation was extremely profound, when faced with this dragon, he still couldn't endure it. In reality, he didn't want to endure it, so a foot flew out, this True Dragon… flew again!
"I, the great crimson dragon, will return!" A miserable scream echoed through the sky from the horizon.
All of Stone Village became bustling with activity, decorated with lanterns and colored banners, incredibly festive and lively. The past children, those kids from Desolate Border, had now already grown up.
Stone Village was now entirely different, becoming powerful, the foundation astonishing!
The aptitudes of Stone Village's descendants were extremely good, while the children from Desolate Border were even more exceptional. They were the descendants of Desolate Border's seven kings! Now that they grew up, there were some formidable experts who came out of them.
In terms of comprehensive strength, Stone Village could already dominate the lower realms!
It was just a village hidden within the great wilderness, yet its power could devour mountains and rivers.
"Big brother, you are finally going to get married." Qingfeng came, smiling, feeling sincere joy. He was Stone Country's Human Emperor, so now, he long had quite a few descendants.
The Zhuyan tweaked its ears and scratched its cheeks, while its old rival, that little red bird -- Vermilion Bird's descendant, also hurried over from Fire Nation's ancestral land.
The golden lion's expression was complicated. It came down into the lower realms with Huang, already spending many years here, personally watching how quickly he rose up, now actually at the peak of Self Release Realm.
What was hardest for it to endure was that Huang was not satisfied, still wanting to break a record, enter the Supreme Being Realm. Five hundred years was a taboo line that couldn't be crossed for the Supreme Being Realm, yet he wanted to break it?
If he really did become a supreme being before reaching a hundred years of age, this… really would be enough to scare it to death!
"Heh, is a supreme being under a hundred years of age really going to appear? It seems like I have to hurry and cultivate too, refine the Great Black Tortoise God Fist as early as possible!" Third Blackie stuck its head out, looking around, a wretched expression on its face.
"Is this the great tortoise divine fist?" The big red bird had a look of disdain on its face, extremely cocky, directly smacking it off to the side with a phoenix wing.
The Nine-Headed Lion, Princess Qian Qian, and the others all came. There was a group of people from Heaven Mending Pavilion too, for example, Xia Youyu, 'prominent horn' Xiao Tian, and others.
Now, Stone Village wasn't scared of its location being exposed anymore. Who in the lower realms could still attack them? As the children grew up, this place's fighting strength increased drastically!
Even if Shi Hao and the others weren't here, just those grown up kids were enough to dominate the world!
"Let everything go, don't be preoccupied with anything anymore, and I can become a supreme being?" Shi Hao asked himself.
Time didn't wait for him. The amount of time he had really wasn't much, if he couldn't rise up earlier, everything would be for nothing!
As a result, Shi Hao felt worried, felt impatience, wanted to find a way to make a breakthrough on this path as early as possible.
However, would letting one's thoughts go really allow one to become a supreme being?
Could he really just let everything go?
Shi Hao was meditating, forgetting his secret methods, forgetting great techniques, becoming like an ordinary mortal. He gradually calmed himself down.
Soon afterwards, his mind became calm. He was reflecting, thinking to himself. The restricted region lord pointed out where he was lacking, saying that he was preoccupied with too many things, that he was going to go mad. Did he really have to sever away all of his thoughts?
Right now, this was precisely what he was doing, trying his best to let everything go, release the restrictions, including his emotions, changing himself.
He felt like he was currently scattering his thoughts. Secret methods and great techniques were all forgotten, while the women he had previously interacted with, their figures also became blurry.
However, there was clearly still bitterness at the depths of his heart!
"That's Qing Yi…"
In that instant, in the depths of his heart, there was a figure that appeared. How could he forget?!
Soon afterwards, he ruthlessly scattered it again. He wanted to forget it all, become a supreme being. There wasn't enough time, he wanted to rush into the heavens, he couldn't waste any time.
If he was given another thousand years, ten thousand years, then he wouldn't make this type of choice, wouldn't walk this path.
He was scattering his own thoughts!
This was what Shi Hao was doing.
However, this process was a bit complex, extremely dangerous.
He was forgetting, cutting away much of his thoughts, but deep inside, he felt an indistinct soreness.
Shi Hao understood, there were some things that were hard to sever.
Sure enough, soon afterwards, the figure of that Fire Clan woman appeared again.
When one thought emerged, another was scattered, and then another memory appeared.
After shattering the thoughts he originally had, he would then instead only bury another thought deeper. In the end, the Fire Mulberry Flowers withered, a rain of flowers filling the skies. That figure that silently waited underneath seemed to have become something he could never forget.
"Erase!"
Shi Hao released a light shout, obliterating all thoughts. He decisively took that step, wishing to walk forward.
Meanwhile, during the final instant before he did this, he vowed that if he couldn't succeed, couldn't take that step, he would go against the dao!
The so-called against the dao, was that since his thoughts couldn't be erased, then he wouldn't erase them, wouldn't get rid of them, instead cutting through ten thousand dao with a single will!
That path was precisely to destroy all obstructions even while carrying all those emotions, precisely using those thoughts he couldn't let go of to become a supreme being!
One will to cut through ten thousand dao!
This was his final choice.
Meanwhile now, he seemed to have achieved that step he wanted to take, to scatter all of his will. The expression in his eyes was peaceful as he watched the festive Stone Village. He walked towards the young lady who was currently waiting for him.
That day, Shi Hao got married. There were many guests who came, the village extremely lively. Everyone was touching glasses and exchanging drinks. Clan chief Shi Yunfeng was so happy he was grinning from ear to ear, the children were also laughing, everyone toasting to this occasion.
There were many guests from the outside world, even Ocean Clan creatures and others coming.
"It's actually… that bird!" The golden lion was furious. It saw the fella who left bird poo on its nose; that palm-sized Five-Colored Sparrow appeared.
This was a strange bird. There was a small cauldron that was pure white like jade carried by its beak. After throwing it into Stone Village, it turned around to run!
Many people were confused, not knowing why the golden lion got so angry.
Only Stone Village's people understood just how strange that bird was. They were all alarmed.
Shi Hao stared at the small cauldron on the ground. He remembered clearly,that day when the seven deities came down into the lower realms, he went to fight them, bringing a cauldron from the village with him. However, in the end, that cauldron cracked apart, revealing a pure white cauldron within…
In the end, that white cauldron disappeared into the void.
Who would have thought that the Five-Colored Sparrow would bring it back.

Chapter 1808 - Attacking At Supreme Being
This cauldron swirled with gentle radiance. It was extremely delicate, actually appearing, moreover in such a strange manner.
Meanwhile, it now shrank, only an inch tall, quite small. If one didn't pay any attention, they might even overlook it. It was snow-white and sparkling, as if carved out of immortal bones.
It was definitely the one from the past!
Even though it shrunk in size, Shi Hao wouldn't mistake it for anything else, it was precisely that cauldron. Back then, it had been lost, but now, it was brought back by that bird.
"Where do you think you're going?!" The golden lion immediately began to run, rushing into the sky, opening its bloody mouth. Winds stirred and clouds swirled, all of the clouds in the skies sucked into his mouth.
It wanted to devour that Five-Colored Sparrow with a single gulp, truly angered badly. A pile of bird poo was left on its nose back then, this was the greatest humiliation it had suffered its entire life.
However, it was already too late. The sparrow swirling with rainbow brilliance was too fast. When it rushed into the sky, its figure already disappeared without a trace.
There were afterimages everywhere. It disappeared into the limits of the boundless horizon, leaving just like that.
"Get back here right now!" The golden lion roared out, its golden beast fur standing on end, releasing golden light, as if it had been struck by lightning, radiance swirling about.
However, it just couldn't catch up, already left behind.
But now, no one was paying it any attention, everyone staring at that small cauldron.
They all knew that this thing was extraordinary. Just from a single look, they felt that it was mysterious and unfathomable.
It was precisely because even though the small cauldron looked like it was spotlessly white and swirling with holy radiance, it still gave everyone a mysterious feeling. This was especially the case with the inside of the cauldron, extremely deep and abstruse.
It was small, but right now, everything inside the cauldron actually gave off a type of indistinct feeling, as if there was primal chaos filling it, the depth impossible to see.
This was extremely strange. It was but an inch in height, why couldn't they see its bottom?
Shi Hao moved, taking a step forward, the first to make a move. He bent down at the waist, his fingers like nipping flowers, picking this small cauldron up, carefully sizing it up.
"Yi?!" Shi Hao was extremely shocked, his expression moved. It was because only when he opened his heavenly eyes, did he see the indistinct scenes at the bottom of the small cauldron.
There seemed to be some patterns, it was extremely indistinct.
The cauldron was merely an inch or so high. Even if one opened their heavenly eyes, they couldn't completely see through it. This type of feeling was extremely strange, as if it wasn't just an inch separating them, but rather a starry sky, a universe.
"The cauldron walls are covered in markings, not smooth, and there seem to be a few pieces missing!"
When Shi Hao carefully examined it, he shockingly discovered that those traces were done in a regular pattern, all of them crafted by someone, forming grooves.
Of course, it was extremely faint, or else the cauldron would be full of holes.
Was the cauldron originally like this, purposely carved out by someone, or was it to cover up, erase something?
Shi Hao frowned, because those faint markings were extremely symmetrical, not disordered and messy at all.
Was this a congratulatory gift from that Five-Colored Sparrow?
"The material is extremely similar to the Ten Thousand Spirit Diagram!"
Shi Hao raised his head to look into the horizon. Today really was rather surprising, this strange little bird appeared, truly bringing him a pleasant surprise.
There was now no need for any other proof. Everyone in Stone Village knew how extraordinary this bird was.
After several decades, it was still there, not changed at all, impossible to see through. The most important thing was that no one could catch it!
"This bird can move through the void, harmonized with heaven and earth. Otherwise, I would have long caught it!" The golden lion was furious.
The marriage ceremony continued, this was merely the interlude. After a bit of shock and noise, everyone returned to a festive and joyous mood.
"First, kowtow before heaven and earth, second, kowtow to the parents! Husband and wife, kowtow to each other!"
Under voices of laughter and cheers, everything went smoothly. The new couple bowed towards each other.
Even though they were cultivators, the wedding ceremony was no different from that of mortals. Stone Village gradually became stronger from its once declining tribe state, preserving this type of down to earth nature all along.
Yun Xi's heart trembled slightly. Was she now walking together with Shi Hao just like that, becoming dao companions?
It was as if she was dreaming. Even though she had made mental preparations, now that it really happened, she still felt it was quite sudden. They had previously stood against each other, traveled through life and death…
In the end, it was actually this result, it even made her think that life was but a dream.
In the past, Shi Hao guarded her on the way back to Celestial Clan, yet in the end, he was almost harmed to death. Later on, he even became bitter enemies with Celestial Clan. During that time, she felt truly terrible, knowing that they might never walk the same path again, only get further and further away.
"Oh oh oh, time to play pranks on the newlyweds!" A group of children shouted noisily.
The children from back then all grew up, long becoming adults, this was a new batch of kids. Stone Village's population was quickly increasing, growing and multiplying without end.
The group of kids were all shouting noisily, even a group of young adults now joining in.
"Little brats, if you all make any more noise, I'm going to grab you all one by one and throw you into the eye of the Northern Sea!" Dazhuang roared.
Hahaha…
In the distance, Qin Yining and Shi Ziling were both laughing, extremely happy, as if they were relieved from a burden. Their eldest son got married, fulfilling one of their greatest cherished desires.
"Good, good, good!" The old clan chief Shi Yunfeng also continuously nodded, full of smiles. Even though his age was getting greater and greater, his spirit was extremely vigorous, gradually becoming stronger.
His blood energy didn't dry up, on the contrary, his physique became more and more robust. It was related to cultivation, as well as Stone Village's environment.
The number of divine medicines here was definitely not few, Void Sky Divine Vine, Heavenly Deity Tree… spiritual essence rose in spirals, divine force pervading the air, nourishing everyone in the village, male, female, young, and old.
Stone Village's newer generations' talents became greater and greater, largely related to this.
It was because even when they were in their mother's womb, they were already nourished by the essence wafting out from divine medicines. As such, when they were born, how could they not be astonishingly powerful?
To the north was a small courtyard. It was cut off by a formation that prevented outsiders from entering. This was like a Shangri-La, rarely seen and unusual. A rock garden surrounded this place, the beautiful trees lush and verdant.
These dao companions whose relationship was complex sat down facing each other. Right now, they became extremely quiet, neither of them saying anything.
Yun Xi's skin was fine like beautiful jade, her eyes full of intelligence. When she looked at Shi Hao, there was no shyness or embarrassment of a little girl, at least on the surface, she was still calm.
Only, as for what she was feeling inside, it was hard to say. In reality, her heart was pounding fiercely.
Shi Hao looked at her, thinking back to the past. Many events of the past appeared in his mind. The one who accompanied him was actually Yun Xi… he released a sigh, feeling frustration, happiness, and dejected… his thoughts were extremely complex.
There was another figure who appeared at this moment, about to truly take form. This made his heart stir.
The past thoughts he had scattered, they were restless again?
When one's strength was exhausted, how could one's thoughts be completely erased, their emotions and feelings completely erased?
Qing Yi, Heaven Mending Dao, didn't she say that she was going to come down into the lower realms, reunite with him? Why didn't she come?
What about Huo Ling'er? She also gradually took form from those scattered thoughts.
Hong!
Shi Hao's body suddenly trembled, divine force surging. He shouted, "One last severing, I will not hesitate to pay the price!"
Yun Xi was shocked. This was the night of being newly wed, was her dao companion gaining enlightenment? He actually sat there, closing his eyes, as if he entered seclusion cultivation.
Immediately afterwards, she saw Shi Hao's various thoughts fly out from his body. There were many indistinct figures that appeared in the air, engraving themselves in the void, and then they swirled about him.
There was a scorched black willow tree, the place where Fire Mulberry Trees took root, the body Qing Yi and Yue Chan merged into, the cruel great battles against the other side in Desolate Border, Great Elder's tragic death, darkness creatures' surging tide, history's most terrifying great showdown…
He had far too many thoughts weighing him down!
In the end, Shi Hao forced them out from his body, having them enter the skies.
Shi Hao entered a state of cultivation. In this newly wed evening, he didn't move at all, like a boulder, as if he only listened to heaven and earth's scriptures for hundreds to thousands of years.
Hong!
A month later, the entire small courtyard became a forbidden area that no one could step foot into. Everyone could see powerful dao laws swirling about, Shi Hao at the center of it all.
It was as if he was a phoenix undergoing rebirth. The great dao natural laws on his body were like the feathers of a new True Phoenix, granting him power, strengthening him to the peak.
"Supreme being aura!"
He was actually about to become a supreme being! Everyone was shocked. He really succeeded?
"Too dangerous! If not for him laying a formation ahead of time, cutting off the courtyard from the outside world, Stone Village would've been in danger!" Someone said in alarm.
"He is controlling it, not letting it flare out. Otherwise, we would have long been in danger!"
"Everyone, withdraw from the village, leave this place to him!" The old clan chief Shi Yunfeng ordered.
They decided to use Stone Village as a buffer. It was because the entire village could be turned into a great formation, activated, this was arranged by Willow Deity in the past.
"Yi, those natural laws, those True Phoenix feather-like chains of order are withdrawing, entering his body, as if they are forming a cocoon!"
Everyone saw that Shi Hao was wrapped by a layer of feathers, turning into a cocoon. It was as if he underwent rebirth again, about to be born, about to start a new life.
"Supreme being's aura, he really is going to step onto that path!" The golden lion was horrified.
Shi Hao's aura was retracting. If it erupted, if it spilled out of the great formation, the entire heaven and earth would capsize!
This was too dangerous! For Stone Village, for the entire great wilderness, for all of Desolate Region, this was a terrifying thing.
Fortunately, it didn't leak out. All of the essence energy was restrained!
Shi Hao was treading on the supreme being path. If he succeeded, managing to break a legend of endless ages, he would become history's youngest Mortal Dao supreme being!
The same day, that very moment, great changes took place in the higher realm, affecting the Nine Heavens Ten Earths.
The various great ancient continents were all moving, slowly shifting. They were previously one body, but during Immortal Ancient Great Era, they were ultimately fractured into the Nine Heavens Ten Earths after the past great battles.
Now, a mysterious power appeared, guiding them. They might join up again, return to being one.
Apart from this, there were even more shocking changes taking place in the higher realm.
"Is an age without cultivation about to descend? Heavens! The world is devouring itself!" Someone cried out in alarm. He came from Immortal Domain, a high level figure!
There were great changes happening to heaven and earth, things that shocked past, present, and future happening.
Was this man-made, or was it a natural disaster?
Was this an omen? Many people were shocked, even their souls shaking!

Chapter 1809 - Good Fortune
Hazy and indistinct, rising and falling, not living yet not fading, Shi Hao was in a type of strange state.
His aura continuously withdrew into his body. Meanwhile, his own primordial spirit seemed to have faded, as if he had passed away in meditation, but in reality, he was still alive, carrying out a type of strange transformation.
Outside his body, the chains of order were like rainbows, natural laws like chains, wrapping around him,forming a cocoon, restricting his body.
The supreme being path was difficult and full of dangers, possibility of loss at every turn. The danger that was produced was not only the death of himself, but also the destruction of endless earth.
One mistake and the stars and moon would wither away, the surrounding heavens and earth collapsing; this was definitely not an uncommon occurrence.
When Shi Hao withdrew his own vital energy, things seemingly took a turn for the better. This was a rare bit of reassurance on this path, but of course, this was only for others in the outside world.
It was because if Shi Hao was to fail, he might turn to stone, wither up, turn into a clump of yellow earth. No matter how his vital energy and others burned, it would still pour into the world, form a source of essence energy, and not the eye of an explosion.
It might also destroy the great wilderness, but compared to the essence energy leaking out and surging, the consequences would be considerably better than a direct explosion.
It was because if it was the latter, defeat meant a capsizing of heaven and earth, everything within who knew how many tens of thousands of years would explode, affecting the great stars and other things of outer space.
Everyone in the village was nervous, all of them roaming about. Among them, the golden lion's eyes were flickering. It came from the other side, so how could it not understand the path of supreme being transformation?
It personally witnessed just how grand and spectacular it was!
It had previously seen people who failed, seated in outer space. In the end, great stars exploded one after another around them, magical projections filling the world, groups of stars destroyed.
It had previously heard that there were some that ignited their self. Essence energy surged from within their bodies, quickly leaking out, forming a piece of pure earth to nourish plants, creatures, and other things.
Of course, the so-called nourishing referred to after things calmed down. In the beginning, spiritual essence surged, some spiritual herbs and experts directly exploded.
It had also heard that there were some who failed on the supreme being path, blood splashing over heaven and earth. Seas dried up, mountains and rivers burned up, great lightning tribulation was guided down, destroying all creatures in a land.
The golden lion felt more and more worry and anxiousness, as well as fear.
It had a type of agreement with Shi Hao, if he died, it would also accompany him to the grave. Even if it ran right now, it wouldn't do anything, it would still die here.
"Even when one wishes to attack at the supreme being level in my world, normally, there would be an undying being watching over them from the side! Otherwise, there will easily be issues!"
The golden lion said to itself. However, right now, where would it find an undying being to protect the dao for Shi Hao? If he really did fail, dying here, there would definitely be a huge problem.
Of course, after a wave of panic and fear, it also inwardly cursed why the heavens were so unfair. Just how many years did Shi Hao cultivate for? He was even younger than itself!
A several decades old supreme being? If news of this got out, who would believe this? Even in the other side, everyone might treat this as a joke.
Five hundred years was a dividing line, a curse that couldn't be broken, difficult to cross.
At the very least, in this great era that the golden lion was born in, there were absolutely not five hundred years old supreme beings. If one chased further back, then perhaps there were!
After all, that was the glorious age of the other side. In that era, they defeated the enemies of all sides.
Even this realm -- the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, were flattened by them, swept through.
"What should we do? How can we help him?" The Zhuyan was extremely frustrated, unable to sit still. However, there really wasn't anything it could do.
Supreme being path, who walked this before?
If not for Shi Hao returning, telling them many things, Stone Village's people would have no idea what this cultivation realm even entailed, what kind of meaning it represented.
However, the crimson dragon understood, this feeling inherent to its race. Even though it didn't obtain its clan's secret inheritance, there were some supplementary things that were engraved in his blood, deepening its knowledge.
"We can only wait, no one can do anything to help him!" The crimson dragon said.
"Why don't we bring some stalks of divine medicine over, boost his vigor a bit?" Third Blackie said.
"Are you trying to say that we should make tortoise soup, let him drink soup, eat medicine, advance that way?!" The big red bird shot it a look.
Comparatively speaking, the big red bird, as well as Stone Village's later generations weren't as worried. They had experienced the age of 'Little Stone legend', personally witnessed the youngster's path of growth.
During these years, he continuously broke records, walking his own optimal and brilliant path, making all of them carry great faith in him.
Honglong!
Suddenly, heaven and earth trembled. Stone Village was shaking.
The golden lion's entire body looked like it had been struck by lightning, fur standing on end, shuddering all over. Its heart was pounding furiously.
It wasn't even him who was undergoing a transformation, walking the supreme being path, yet it seemed to be even more worried and nervous than Shi Hao.
If Shi Hao died, it would also die. As such, how could it not be scared and worried?
However, if Shi Hao succeeded, then that meant that a curse was broken, establishing an absolute unbelievable legend, stronger than any of the other side's supreme beings in this great era.
At that time, the glorious Fearless Lion would most likely never have the chance to be freed from Huang's side, the chains bound around it would become more and more firm, locking it down.
Could it be that it had to follow Huang forever? It was the inheritor of the other side's Fearless Lion bloodline!
Stone Village trembled nine times in succession. Essence energy surged like a sea, gathering from outer space. One could see endless stellar splendor gathering, converging into a stream, forming a waterfall, crashing down.
This was a type of miracle. In this world, all of the sun and moon essence was gathering, surging towards Shi Hao.
It was clearly daytime, but now, groups of stars were flickering, an endless starry sky appearing. The stars in the heavens could all be seen clearly, the suns and other sources of light unable to hide them.
This type of scenery was extremely beautiful, and also extremely spectacular.
Everyone was stunned. This was a waterfall from outer space, it crashed over wave after wave just like that, pouring into the heart of Stone Village, making one's soul tremble.
"Hurry, sit down in meditation, comprehend your own methods!"
"Seclusion cultivation!"
A few people said, having the children sit here and cultivate.
This was a rare opportunity, the spiritual essence so thick it would scatter. This was the essence of heaven and earth! Before the supreme being dao achieving path, the universe's most fundamental energy would gather, refining endless essence.
Right now, so much stellar splendor crashed down, pouring over from outer space, wisp after wisp pouring out. Even if they were just drops, they all brought enormous benefits to Stone Village's people.
This was especially the case with the youngsters, the children who were currently growing, bringing them even more benefits. The foundational energy of heaven and earth entered their body, basically helping them refine their bodies.
Stone Village was covered in a layer of gentle and sacred radiance. Even if one left the village, the outside was still battered by a type of ripple-like wave, spreading outwards.
This was peaceful, not chaotic.
The supreme being path, the essence a supreme being gathered from heaven and earth, was a profound source of good fortune, nurturing the creatures of all sides.
"The heavens have blessed Stone Village!" The old village chief Shi Yunfeng said, extremely moved.
Even him, already quite old, was changing right now, receiving indescribable nourishment.
It was because his skin was becoming taut, no longer sagging, his wrinkles decreasing. Meanwhile, some of his white hair turned jet black; this really was a miracle!
"This is a natural phenomenon." The golden lion said in a stupor.
Only it understood the best, because it had personally seen just how supreme beings were born.
If one wanted to become a supreme being, they naturally needed to have all types of methods, seek spiritual essence from the universe, absorb the most fundamental things from heaven and earth, only then could they achieve dao results.
The entire world's foundational essence, even if it was just wisps and strands, when it flowed out like this, for other creatures, it brought tremendous benefits!

Chapter 1810 - Questioning Heaven and Earth
The reason why the other side was so powerful was because they were currently in a type of virtuous cycle!
Once one succeeded on the supreme being path, they would immediately be able to bring good fortune to the clan, help countless creatures. Those who cultivated around them, the cultivators who also meditated nearby, would all receive tremendous benefits with the supreme being achieving their dao fruit.
When this happened, the old could become stronger, even reverse the process of aging, increasing their lifespan, the young children would receive a divine baptism. Those with greater luck would be able to reforge their flesh again, completely shed and exchange their mortal bodies.
A single successful supreme being path signified a grand occasion for other creatures!
There was a saying before that if a supreme being could come out of a single clan, then a powerful clan would emerge to meet a historic destiny, this wasn't all because they now had a supreme being.
It was also because everyone in the clan would obtain a baptism, some people becoming stronger, some having their vessels cleansed, their aptitudes advancing, becoming people with astonishing potential in the future.
It could be said that the effects of this would be profound, the entire clan being upgraded.
Moreover, the other side didn't only have the supreme being path, they also had the undying path. When someone on that level was born, the divine light that poured out, the source of heaven and earth, would become even more astonishing, able to help accomplish a new peak for those of later generations!
This was precisely one of the reasons why the strong would produce stronger individuals, the other side was currently in this positive feedback loop.
"Did he really succeed?" The golden lion's expression became more and more complicated, staring at Shi Hao over there.
"Even starlight is stirring!" There was someone who cried out in shock, looking into outer space.
In a daze, they heard rivers of stars surge, roaring noises sounding from outer space. Starlight shone endlessly.
"This is a resonance of star clusters, congratulating the powerful one on the supreme being path, a type of irregular heaven and earth scene." The golden lion said, his expression becoming more and more serious.
He already reached this point, Huang really was a monster, about to defy the heavens!
The golden lion felt like history's most freakishly young pseudo supreme being was about to succeed, about to take that step.
Honglonglong!
In the world beyond, as expected, there really were voices that sounded, or perhaps they could be called 'dao tremors'.
This was the shaking of heaven and earth's natural laws. Groups of stars were shaking, trembling nine times in succession, and then they would pour down sun and moon splendor that was even more rich!
The stars trembled, the earth shook, these were all good omens. It was now close to the end phase, was everything going to become complete?
Acknowledged by heaven and earth, bringing good fortune to descendants, while oneself was also undergoing extreme evolution, this was the embodiment of supreme being glory.
"My… cultivation is actually improving, my insights towards the world deepening!" The crimson dragon was stupefied. The disturbance this cheap master brought was just too great.
One had to understand that it was no ordinary cultivator. As a true dragon, as well as someone with merely thirty years of bitter cultivation, his magical force became astonishing, his dao results world-shocking!
It was just a Huang suppressing it in the lower realms, or else it might have really already became some overlord.
Its current self dared challenge any creatures.
"Please continue! Star shaking, dao shaking, let's have more different types of 'shaking'!" The big black tortoise was swallowing its saliva, because it directly broke through a level.
A supreme being could create a powerful clan, this really did make sense.
Just how much time had passed? Yet the nearby creatures, because of him, received tremendous benefits.
Even though the golden lion was anxious, it really received tremendous benefits as well. Its bones and muscles shook, receiving a baptism, his dao skills growing uncontrollably.
This was a gift of great dao. Those who were challenging the supreme being bottleneck, when they approached the end of the path, all types of auspicious signs would appear.
The elders felt like they were full of life, that they were becoming younger.
Of course, Stone Village's children received the greatest benefits!
They were breaking through. This wasn't just one or two, but rather a great expanse. This was simply a type of wonderful scenery that left one in shock, feeling inconceivable.
There were also those who were at the prime of their lives, for example, the descendants of the seven kings Shi Hao brought back from Desolate Border. Now, some of them were shrouded in heaven and earth blessings, covered in divine splendor. They weren't children growing in the village, yet they still had their bodies reforged.
"Right, Desolate Border's Seven Kings established great merit. Now, the world is bestowing a great dao gift, a type of present, good fortune for the Seven Kings' descendants."
Someone realized, gaining some insights.
Chi!
A terrifying streak of scarlet light descended from outer space, rushing towards Shi Hao's head.
"It's coming!"
The golden lion's eyelids jumped crazily. It really was worried, because the final moments had arrived; if Shi Hao succeeded, then he would be a supreme being, if he failed, then he was done for.
The supreme being path, even at its final phase, was still full of dangers. For example, even now, Shi Hao faced interference.
That streak of light was like lightning, but it definitely wasn't. It was extremely brilliant, extremely red like a drop of blood. It descended from outer space, wishing to blast through Shi Hao's skull.
"What is this?" A few people became scared. Even though they were just watching, they still felt an indescribable danger, all of them couldn't help but tremble.
"There were some who said that this is a severe interrogation of the world, if one cannot make it through, then they would turn into scattered ashes and dispersed smoke." The golden lion said.
In reality, ninety percent of those who failed while attacking at the supreme being bottleneck failed at this final stage.
Sou!
Right at this moment, Shi Hao moved. His eyes were still closed, but he broke free of Stone Village. His figure flashed, rushing into the heavens, taking the initiative to face it.
"Ah, why is he leaving?" Everyone was stunned, feeling fear.
It was because they had just learned from the golden lion that when attacking at the supreme being bottleneck, everyone would remain extremely cautious, they wouldn't act rashly.
At the very least, when seizing the source of the universe, they shouldn't be impudent.
"He is scared that if he fails, Stone Village will be destroyed, that the great wilderness will be annihilated." The golden lion's expression was serious.
"Will he be okay? Is he in danger?" Yun Xi asked, her face turning pale white.
On the side, Shi Ziling and his wife's breathing were hurried, their expressions full of panic, just too worried.
"Logically speaking, he already reached this point. With his freakish and monstrous aptitude, he should be able to make it through." The golden lion replied.
Peng!
That streak of scarlet light was actually impossible to evade. It locked onto Shi Hao, in the end forcibly smashing into his body, crashing down on his skull. Waves of scarlet mist diffused outwards.
Shi Hao's body staggered, but he stabilized himself, not being killed, not falling down.
Chi!
A streak of purple light poured down, the aura majestic, carrying a grand and vast feeling. It poured down from above, overlooking all life.
Shi Hao frowned, still not opening his eyes. However, he instead further experienced this was not lightning after all, but more like a grand will.
The so-called interrogation of heaven and earth, did it carry the will of the world? Shi Hao thought to himself. Right now, he already woke up, snapping out of his meditation. From here on out, he had to withstand this power!
The supreme being path, he wanted to succeed, he did not want to fail!
Heaven and earth good fortune was still pouring down. All types of auspicious radiance spread like water ripples, surging nearby Stone Village.
Everyone obtained tremendous benefits.
However, this type of gift still had its limits, there was no way it could continue.
Those who obtained the greatest benefits broke through two bottlenecks in a day, breaking through two great cultivation realms!
As for the baptism, altering of one's growth potential, there was even less of a need to talk about the benefits of this.
Purple light struck Shi Hao's body. His entire body trembled intensely, his primordial spirit almost exploding, but his flesh was actually unaffected. He sensed greater and greater danger!
The supreme being path was extremely difficult. He was being obstructed!
"Not good, I have to leave this place!" Shi Hao made his decision. The good fortune of the world was already received by Stone Village's people, it was time for him to leave.
Otherwise, once there were some strange developments, then it might involve Stone Village, as well as destroy the great wilderness.
"He's moving, about to leave!"
The golden lion was shocked. One had to understand that when trying to achieve the dao, one couldn't randomly change things. No one had energy that great, changing locations was too risky.
Perhaps the interrogation of the world would even change greatly, take this as a type of provocation!

Chapter 1811 - Hellfire
Purple brilliance raged between heaven and earth, pouring down from outer space, blasting Shi Hao's body until he trembled intensely!
His primordial spirit was about to explode!
His speed was extremely fast. He moved quickly, leaving Stone Village, crossing the great wilderness, wishing to leave this familiar region, bring all of the danger with him.
Along the way, purple radiance flickered about, as if there was a heaven supporting pillar. It directly descended, directly connected to the top of his head, relentlessly crashing down.
This was extremely strange, and also extremely dangerous. It was because it wasn't like the scarlet light, disappearing after failing to destroy him. This purple light completely locked onto Shi Hao.
In the heavens, it was as if there was a source of destruction that was glued to Shi Hao, continuously attacking at his primordial spirit. It was trying to destroy him, not even give him the chance.
"Hao'er!" Shi Ziling screamed out, Qin Yining's face even more so turning pale, lacking the slightest trace of color.
Yun Xi's hands were tightly clenched, her spotlessly white and fine joints already turning green from the pressure. She was extremely nervous, because Shi Hao, who had just become her dao companion, was now in great danger.
"Child, you have to endure it!" The old clan chief Shi Yunfeng was also muttering to himself, his face full of worrying, extremely scared.
Inside Stone Village, everyone was extremely excited. They sensed that Shi Hao was at the greatest turning point of his life. If he made it through, then the world before him would completely open up, free for him to wander about. However, if something unexpected happened, then he would die.
This was an opportunity, but even more so a disaster!
"As expected, moving like this is the same as issuing a provocation, so the interrogation of the world became even more fierce. Originally, that streak of purple light should have disappeared!" The golden lion muttered to itself.
This wasn't out of good intentions for Shi Hao, but rather because of fear, scared that if Shi Hao's body and spirit perished, then it would also die here.
When it was in the other side, it had already heard that if a supreme being issued a provocation, it might incur huge problems, be punished ferociously and severely.
Right now, Shi Hao was most likely experiencing this type of situation, making even the golden lion's shaggy face crease together. It really wanted to roar out in anger.
Shi Hao's current cultivation already long far exceeded everyone's imaginations. With just a single step, the mountains and rivers would turn in reverse, starry heavens drawn close, it truly was earth to inches.
Times have now completely changed. The past youngster had now already reached an extremely terrifying level!
With a raise of Shi Hao's feet, he could head into outer space. Just how terrifying of a cultivation was this, how horrifying was this speed?
That was why even though the distance was great, under Shi Hao's continuous steps, he already crossed who knew how many tens of thousands of li. In the blink of an eye, he already arrived before the realm wall.
He wasn't trying to head into another region, but rather into primal chaos.
Hong!
There wasn't much left to say. He directly sent a fist outwards, smashing into the realm wall. His fist was sturdy and unbreaking, making that place explode. Now, there wasn't much in this lower realm that could stop him.
He went straight through, entering the primal chaos.
This was a primal chaos zone outside the eight regions, brutal, dangerous, full of chaotic time-space streams, the very source. Primal chaos surged like clouds, also like a furnace of metal liquid that was currently being refined.
This place wasn't unfamiliar to Shi Hao. After all these years, each time he needed to comprehend the great dao, or when he had to test some things out, examine his own dao fruit, he would always come here.
Otherwise, he was scared that he might just destroy Desolate Region!
Chi!
Purple light surged like waves, directly rushing into the heavens, becoming more and more terrifying. This was the final blow this light delivered.
Shi Hao's body trembled, struck until his pores all relaxed, entire body was suffused with purple radiance. However, it still didn't injure his body. The light swirled about, gathering towards his skull.
Dong!
It was as if several dozen waves of thunder crashed by Shi Hao's ears, surging within his skull. Purple lightning shone streak after streak, everything attacking at his primordial spirit.
This light didn't harm his body, only attacking his primordial spirit.
It was like a tremendous will that interrogated all creatures of this world, wishing to deliver the most severe punishment.
Shi Hao's hair was messy, his body shining. His primordial spirit was even more so struggling intensely, fiery light raging there, primordial spirit force surging.
He was using Willow Deity's method, raising his life force to the extreme, wrapping it around his primordial spirit continuously to protect himself from that purple light, resisting.
In the end, with a hong noise, purple colored flames ignited the heavens, turning even his primordial spirit into a purple color.
This was extremely dangerous. Shi Hao staggered about, his divine senses about to be erased.
However, it was also at this moment that Shi Hao gained comprehension, all types of insights produced in his mind, all types of great dao traces appearing.
He knew that the previous crimson light was incited by his blood energy, and now, the purple light was even more so caused by the purple manors within his body, all of these lights corresponded to his body.
The so-called Purple Manor primordial spirit, now displayed the most fundamental meaning. The most basic and foundational growth, was precisely what appeared before him.
In the end, the purple light disappeared. Shi Hao stood in place, not moving for a long time. Purple energy swirled about within his primordial spirit, multicolored light overflowed, producing an expanse of deep purple.
Finally, he released a breath. He was just that close to having his primordial spirit destroyed, losing his life.
The supreme being path was actually this difficult!
He felt like he was strong enough, already made enough preparations, yet he still faced such great danger.
Perhaps it was precisely because his cultivation years weren't enough, too far from that dividing line of 'five hundred years'.
Then, from the skies, a streak of golden light descended, igniting Shi Hao's flesh. No matter how he struggled, the effects weren't that great.
In that instant, he was turned into a human torch, burned there. Terrifying radiance and heat were released, making even the primal chaos surge intensely.
Time-space became chaotic, great void cracks appearing from time to time, but none of it could do anything to the current Shi Hao. The body burning pain was what was the most terrifying thing right now.
Ah…
In the end, Shi Hao couldn't help but release a long roar. When his body was ignited, burned until the final moment, part of his flesh dried up, even turning scorched black.
A few bones were exposed, burned until they produced golden luster, and then turned black.
Just how terrifying of a thing was this?
Someone as powerful as Shi Hao was tormented to this degree, the flames impossible to extinguish, the so-called great dao flames couldn't compare at all either.
This fire was extremely strange, but it just wanted to destroy him, burn him to ashes.
Hellfire!
Shi Hao understood. This was endless hellfire, not fiery light in the normal meaning. It carried a type of will, a type of judgment, the cruel suppression of the great universe.
All sin and all karma descended together, turning into hellfire, burning his body.
It was different after all!
The supreme being path was too difficult. He already took half a step outwards, now already basically a supreme being, yet in the end, he still immediately underwent this type of torment, about to be burned into ashes.
Raging flames rushed into the heavens. Shi Hao sat down, no longer moving. He was enduring all of this head-on, not using any other precious techniques or great methods.
It was because he had heard that when the hellfire of the mortal world was directly applied to the body, it was a type of tempering, also the greatest baptism of a true supreme being. If he could endure it, it would bring great benefits to himself.
Fiery light overflowed into the heavens, turning everything blurry. This place was extremely terrifying, as if there was an eternally unfading great torch suppressing this place, burning down all of the world's evils.
In the end, the fiery light was all erased. As if there were pieces of gold hidden within ashes, there were parts of Shi Hao's body that were shining, some portions withered, scorched black.
He shook his body fiercely. The ashes were removed, his withered body recovering its life force. Golden light swirled about his entire body, as if an undying golden body was being reforged.
Supreme being aura erupted from his body!

Chapter 1812 - Many Corpses Along the Supreme Being Path
Supreme being aura, did he already enter this domain?
Shi Hao carefully examined himself. His strength increased drastically, becoming a good amount stronger than the Self Release Realm. Only today did he truly understand how far above supreme beings were, how they could dominate the creatures of all other clans.
With his current cultivation, even without taking action, just by releasing a bit of his aura, it would be enough to make the cultivators of other cultivation realms tremble, their bodies break apart.
Compared to before, the absolute domination, the feeling of being high up above, was hard to explain.
Just Shi Hao alone, just a single drop of blood could purge a top level sect, a wave of his hands able to destroy the star domain, refine the sun, moon, and stars. If he released killing intent, he could instantly destroy groups of Self Release Realm cultivators.
This type of power's explosive growth produced great waves in Shi Hao's mind.
"An insurmountable heavenly moat." He was deeply moved inwardly. Even though self release was a cultivation level lower than supreme being, the difference was tremendous. There was a chasm that couldn't be crossed.
Did he enter the Supreme Being Realm just like that?
Shi Hao was shaken. He remembered that after he severed many of his thoughts, paid the price, only then did he ascend on this path.
He now succeeded?
However, this all happened too quickly. Even though there were difficulties, as well as danger to his life, comparatively speaking, this supreme being path wasn't as impossible as he had imagined.
"Something's wrong, my dao skills aren't stable, my magical force is rising and falling, flesh and spirit incomplete." Shi Hao examined himself, cool-headedly examining his own flaws.
He raised his head towards the heavens. At the final juncture, was it really just those streaks of light that came to test him?
The so-called heaven and earth interrogation wasn't as terrifying as he had imagined.
The world was overcast, primal chaos wreaking havoc, void splitting, time fragments flying about. Shi Hao was distracted. Something seemed wrong, did he really advance just like that?
He felt some hesitation. He walked out of the primal chaos, wishing to enter Desolate Region.
While moving, he felt a chill. It was just an instantaneous feeling, quickly fading.
However, Shi Hao immediately froze. It was because in that instant, his entire body went ice-cold, his fine hairs standing on end, his heart starting to pound!
In that instant, his supreme being level mind actually felt a bit of fretfulness, as if doomsday was coming. Just how terrifying of a great matter was this?
After some hesitation, Shi Hao continued to walk forward. He wanted to see just what exactly it was.
The world became overcast, primal chaos scattering. There was only an endless void, dusky to the point of making one suffocate, making one's mind gloomy.
The further Shi Hao walked forward, the more shocked he became. This way back didn't seem right, why did it become so suffocating?
He knew that something was wrong, but he didn't stop, still continuing.
Soon afterwards, he saw a special path made of black stones. He directly took it. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to have been soaked in blood, a dark red color.
"Corpses!"
There were corpses collapsed at the roadside one after another.
These corpses were extremely strange, extremely special. They all released astonishing battle intent and powerful auras. Even though they were dead, there were still undying imprints surging.
"Supreme being auras!"
Shi Hao was moved. This path inside the primal chaos was extremely strange, at the sides of the stone path, those figures all had supreme being auras released from their bodies.
"Many corpses along the supreme being path."
At this moment, he saw a broken monument just by the side of the road. There were a few characters engraved on its surface, dripping with blood, carrying a wave of killing intent!
Shi Hao was shocked. Even someone as powerful as him felt chills, his body going taut, feeling great danger.
At the end of the path was a cliff. Further down was an expanse of pitch-black, nothing could be seen. This was an endless abyss!
Supreme being path!
There were only three characters on the ground, written in blood just like that, bright red and dazzling. This blood seemed to be carrying heat as well.
Who was it? Who was it that left it there?
Shi Hao stood there, not moving at all, quietly sensing, thinking to himself.
Supreme being path, the road ahead was broken, an endless abyss before him. Did this mean that if he continued with it, he would fall into darkness, consigned to eternal damnation?
Honglong!
Between heaven and earth, rumbling sounds rang out unendingly, as if there was a great dao rippling outwards, echoing about, about to revive from death.
Shi Hao raised his head towards the sky. In the dusky sky, there was some brilliance, a bit of order. His heart developed a type of reaction, trying to seize that hint of opportunity.
Then, he became stupefied, becoming extremely shocked.
Heaven and man resonance, he understood the secret of this place.
It seemed real, but all of these were imprints left behind after endless ages. The so-called supreme being path was carved from the great dao, things that some supreme beings previously experienced.
No wonder there were those words, many corpses along the supreme being path!
This was indeed the case. From the past until now, the number of those who tried to rush into the supreme being level wasn't few, but in the end, ninety-nine percent of those individuals all died.
All those on this path had failed!
Shi Hao didn't complete the supreme being path yet. If he failed, he would also become one of them.
Did the black abyss indicate the end of most of them?
Heaven and earth became quiet, all of the brilliance disappearing. The various sensations faded.
Shi Hao paused slightly, and then he continued forward, upright and unafraid. He took that step, directly arriving above the abyss. The path was broken, all of them had to continue on their own.
The supreme being path, this was the final test. With each step, Shi Hao dropped a bit, about to enter the endless abyss. What this represented was depravity, destruction!
His figure disappeared, continuously dropping.
Shi Hao released all of his potential, withstanding everything. He wanted to jump out, rush into the heavens, but a boundless wave of pressure crushed down on him, wishing to smash him down into the abyss.
He was moving forward, but also dropping, moreover extremely quickly.
He had no idea how far he had to go forward, nor did he know how far he dropped. It became darker and darker, everything indistinct. Even Heavenly Eyes became ineffective.
Only, at the final moment, Shi Hao's feet seemed to have made contact with something. The moment he lowered his head, a chill ran through his mind; this was the bottom of the abyss. There were corpses everywhere.
There were this many who died on this path before? They were all people who failed!
These weren't true corpses, but rather things engraved by the great dao. However, they had truly existed before.
Shi Hao's blood was surging, burning. He used all his strength to resist the restriction, oppose the suppression. He rushed upwards, not wishing to become another member of the corpses.
True Phoenix Undying Method!
Kengqiang noises rang around Shi Hao's body, feathers fluttering about this world. This was the True Phoenix Precious Technique displaying power, releasing death energy, burning the darkness. This place became brightly lit.
He was resisting, wishing to make it through this dark abyss.
When the death energy completely disappeared, a divine spear flew over from ahead, piercing through the frontal bone with a pu sound, almost piercing through the whole head. This… was too terrifying.
Shi Hao's frontal bone shone, clamping down on this divine spear, and then he pulled it out. This type of trial was a bit strange, too sudden.
Ripples and specks dissolved between his palms and fingers. These were spears made from natural laws, scattering apart.
The supreme being path was too difficult!
After experiencing the mortal hellflame, he could only be considered a pseudo supreme being, not completing this path yet. This was now the final test.
Shi Hao continued forward, experiencing nine days and nine nights of this torment. During this period, he would face life and death each time, his body almost obliterated many times.
In the most miserable instance, he only had a primordial spirit and some ruined bones left, as well as some drops of blood. However, he still survived in the end.
This… would he be able to make it until the end?
He felt like today's path might be even more difficult than the path to immortality.
"Why? Why is it so hard for me to become a supreme being? Why is it so hard?!" Shi Hao asked himself. He then looked towards the dark skies.
"The dao laws are natural, while you, your desire for growth is too brilliant, not natural." There seemed to be a mysterious voice that replied to him, sensed by Shi Hao.
"I want to achieve the dao!" Shi Hao's gaze was icy-cold, his will resolute.
Hong!
He stepped forward without hesitation, his will firm.
In that instant, the darkness withdrew. He could see the shore on the other side.
Shi Hao wanted to climb up, but silently, from the dusky heavens above, there were chains that fell one after another, locking him down, suspending him in front of the cliff, unable to move at all.
"Dao laws unnatural!"
The grand voice rang out here, but also seemed to have sounded from within Shi Hao's heart.
"If a person doesn't have any thoughts, what dao can he achieve? He should just turn into a rock!" Shi Hao shouted.
Hong!
Between heaven and earth, all types of light erupted. Those chains released hualala noises. Tens to over a hundred impaled his body, and then further bound him.
Blood gushed out. Shi Hao released a muffled groan.
Then, all of the chains began to burn. These were different types of symbols, all of them roasting Shi Hao's body.
The appearance of any one of them could destroy a powerful creature, while now, so many of them immediately appeared at the same time.
"Remnant thoughts, one after another, everyone a thought!" That grand voice sounded again.
When the thoughts were gone, that would be when the dao was achieved, was this it?
Before this, Shi Hao already cut off many of his thoughts. However, there were still so many right now?
"The ones severed before were still not enough, I have to turn into a stone before you're satisfied?" The expression in Shi Hao's eyes became deep.
Hong!
Raging flames surged, all types of symbols erupting, drowning him within. Iron chains penetrated his body one after another, burning him, scorching his body pitch-black, on the verge of collapse.
Shi Hao encountered the most terrifying torment.
In the past few days, Shi Hao's muscles and bones had completely been destroyed, burned by symbols, even his primordial spirit becoming dim.
He reforged his body again and again. However, each time he recovered a bit, the flames would become even more intense.
"Instead of this, I might as well just rush into the heavens with ten thousand thoughts!"
Shi Hao released a low roar. The past thoughts he had severed all erupted, appearing in his mind. They rushed out from within his body, and then they shone.
Hong!
This place surged intensely, more chains appearing, binding around him, wishing to burn down his body and spirit.

Chapter 1813 - Convey the Dao Within
Behind him was an endless black abyss, up ahead was a cliff.
Shi Hao was suspended above the abyss, extremely close to shore, but just couldn't cross over.
It was extremely strange. These iron chains came from the heavens above, wordless and uncommunicative, descending just like that, piercing through him. His body was covered in blood, imprisoned here.
The more he struggled, the more tightly he was bound. Right now, endless chains pierced his body. That grand voice came from either his mind or from the heavens above, one chain one will; this was a bit terrifying.
Raging flames surged, fiery light jumping about, illuminating even the dark abyss. There were countless corpses below.
This place became more and more terrifying. Shi Hao's flesh was ignited, his bones even revealed, burning like metal. Scarlet flames surged over there.
Ten thousand wills surged, iron chains surging, raging flames blazing. Shi Hao's body quickly dried up, becoming like a piece of scorched coal, moreover the type that was going to break apart.
This supreme being path was actually this difficult?
He didn't say a word, resisting, wishing to break free from this type of difficult situation. There was still a bit of distance from the shore, already within reach, how could he possibly give up here?
"Five hundred years, is it really a line of taboo that cannot be crossed?" He quietly asked himself.
With his aptitude, becoming a supreme being in the future was practically guaranteed. The reason he was in his current predicament was because he was impatient for results, wishing to immediately rise up.
He was worried that there wouldn't be much time left, scared that the other great powers wouldn't give him the chance to rise. He was worried that the great showdown would arrive…
He felt that he didn't have enough time, that if he wasted any more time, then everything would be too late, scared that he wouldn't have a chance to make any contributions before he was killed in the Mortal Dao domain.
If he didn't quickly rush into the heavens, he would definitely be killed in the future, not even given the chance to put up a struggle. This would then be his greatest regret, being born in these times.
"Achieve the dao!"
He released a roar, struggling about, doing his best to fly upwards, wishing to soar into the heavens.
The so-called iron chains appeared one after another, all of them descending from the heavenly dome above. Shi Hao did everything he could, approaching that place. His body that was about to turn into charred coal was covered in cracks.
His flesh was dried up, disappearing, turning into ashes. His bones were bright red, about to melt, fine cracks covering their surface.
It could be said that he was already in a critical situation. Right now, he was dying.
It wasn't just his body, his primordial spirit was also extremely weak. Those chains also stabbed into his skull, burning there.
Kacha!
It was like charred coal. Shi Hao's body broke apart, but didn't separate. It was because he was pierced everywhere by chains, tangling about his body.
His life force was quickly decreasing, almost impossible to sense.
His eyes grew dim, eye sockets caving in, his face lacking flesh and blood. This scene was extremely horrifying, as if he was a scorched black skeleton.
Were his body and spirit going to perish here?!
He was close to death, his vital energies were all drying up.
The so-called oil in the lamp drying up, this was precisely the type of state he was currently in.
Qiang qiang qiang!
Suddenly, Shi Hao's eyes released brilliance, becoming astonishingly dazzling.
Was this the dying flash, the final gambit?
Exuberant vitality gushed out. From behind Shi Hao appeared True Phoenix wings, a wave of flames surged from within his body. Now that he was close to death, he began to reveal all types of trump cards.
Hong!
He rushed out, his originally charred black body quickly returning to normal. His flesh regrew, dao bones emerging, gradually displaying brilliance.
He was reviving from a critical state, resurrection post catastrophe.
Phoenix Rebirth, this was the most powerful core method of this clan, as well as the world's number one recovery method, could be said to be without equal!
Not only could it treat one's injuries, it could also be used for cultivation. Those who were more decisive cut themselves down, erased their cultivation, and then restarted from the beginning, reconstructing the true self like this.
Rebirth through death, return from destruction, this allowed him to become even stronger.
This was the unmatched great method of the True Phoenix bloodline!
Shi Hao was pressured to this step, left without a choice. He activated the Phoenix Clan's unmatched precious technique, allowing himself to erupt with raging flames, fiery light rushing into the heavens.
Soon afterwards, his body swelled, flesh sparkling, developing a luster. As for his broken bones and other parts, they had long become reconstructed, becoming like forged steel, releasing zheng zheng noises.
He rushed upwards. Without breaking the chains, there was no way he could break free. He wanted to slaughter his way into the heavens, see just what exactly it was that bound him.
The so-called one thought one chain, was this true? He didn't really believe it!
A human shaped phoenix surrounded in pulsing flames charged into the clouds, into the heavens, the disturbance making the void cave in. Great dao noises rumbled.
He reached the final point, saw the truth. That was the great dao, a lump of primal chaos, an expanse of haziness, changing and deriving there. It turned into all types of diagrams, like grass, trees, fish, bugs, all living things.
Hong!
In a single breath of time, it turned into a World Tree. It wasn't that large, but leaves fluttered about, natural laws countless, laws and order like rainbows, piercing through Shi Hao's body.
So this was where the chains came from?
Hou!
Immediately afterwards, it changed again, becoming a sinister ancient beast. Yin and yang swirled, over ten thousand sharp pricks stabbed into his body, piercing through Shi Hao's flesh.
World Creation Ancient Beast?
Shi Hao released a muffled groan, staggering backwards, each step producing a blood-colored footprint.
Then, specks of light danced about. That place changed again, ancient beasts disappearing. There were seeds everywhere, fluff flying around, descending from above, taking root in Shi Hao's body.
This was also a type of torture. The seeds sucked out his blood, taking root in his bones, absorbing his bone marrow…
The scenes continuously changed. Even though Shi Hao was retaliating, he was still seriously injured.
If he wanted to achieve the dao, then he must convey the dao within!
This was the tangible incarnation of the great dao. It continuously descended, crushing everyone to the point where they felt like exploding.
"Living beings wish to achieve the dao, the dao also wishes to devour living beings."
Shi Hao felt a type of misconception. He wanted to achieve the dao, acquire the world's basic secrets, grasp all types of natural laws and profound mysteries of this world. However, during this process, the great dao had its own plans.
He suddenly thought of that small pagoda. In the past, it always spoke of balance, about the transaction of karma; perhaps this was what it was talking about.
If one wished to achieve the dao, one must first convey the dao within.
If one sought the profound mysteries of heaven and earth while grasping the natural laws, one would also be corroded by heaven and earth, the latter devouring their very essence.
That was why ninety-nine percent of creatures all died.
The so-called cultivators were a group of individuals who moved against the heavens, defying the natural great dao during their cultivation process, so they would naturally suffer setbacks, this was reality.
Only some people were able to come up with all types of methods during this cultivation process that allowed it to become smooth and natural, the so-called where the water flows, a canal is formed.
However, Shi Hao was not like this. He forcefully climbed to the peak. He didn't follow a prescribed order, didn't even properly prepare. His thoughts were too deep, clashing with the so-called 'natural ' process.
Of course, without achieving immortality, there was no way he could understand the ultimate profound mysteries.
Shi Hao's instantaneous insights, in the end, only allowed him to see a corner of the original secrets.
"I took the wrong path. With the body as the seed, with me as the roots, the foundation, the truth, I was actually seeking the great dao of the external heaven and earth. I should be using this as a reference, and not imitating it."
Even though Shi Hao was seriously injured, blood covering his entire body, he was still speaking, his voice cold and resolute. There was a type of resolution within him that was becoming more and more powerful.
The path deviated a bit, but he already reached this point, there was no way out. He still had to continue.
He couldn't die, the only option was success.
"Since you said one will one chain, then just come back! I will allow all wills to flourish, achieve the dao this way!" Shi Hao roared out, erupting with the greatest power of his life.
His body seemed to have exploded, releasing endless divine light. Supreme being aura covered heaven and earth. All of the metal chains went taut, releasing kengqiang noises.
In the skies, the great dao changed continuously, from a dragon to a normal dog, then to a World Tree. However, each time, there were still always endless chains tangling around Shi Hao's body, impaling him.
Shi Hao knew that he encountered a huge problem. Because of his choice of dao achievement, the difficulties he faced exceeded others, the chances of death even greater.
"All wills burn the dao!"
Shi Hao roared out, completely going for broke. Not only did he not scatter these thoughts, they instead became even more powerful, erupting from within him, moving along each chain, rushing at the great dao, issuing a counterattack.
Fiery light jumped about. This was his will, converted into fiery light, burning all dao.
However, right now, he still couldn't compare to the great dao. It was like a moth that set itself on fire, rushing into a bonfire.
Hong!
He was blasted until he fell, body set on fire, turning into charred coal again.
True Phoenix cries sounded. Shi Hao displayed the True Phoenix Undying Method while in a state of near death, reviving again. He rushed into the heavens, wishing to break those chains, wishing to seize them back.
Again and again, he continuously charged forward.
In the end, he was spiritually weary, his strength exhausted. His vital energy was completely burned clean.
The True Phoenix Undying Method also had a limit, there was no way it could be used endlessly.
In the skies, the great dao rotated, becoming blurry. In the end, it actually gradually disappeared, receding.
What was going on?
Shi Hao was stupefied. While seizing his last breath of energy, he greedily absorbed the surrounding essence energy to replenish his own needs.
Then, he slowly fell, appearing on the other shore, reaching the cliff on the other side of the abyss. Did he succeed?
However, there was no auspicious brilliance that descended from the world, nor was there endless surging supreme being energy, not granting him a baptism.
"I will just baptize myself!" Shi Hao said.
He sat down here, receiving the energy of all life in heaven and earth to replenish his needs. His half ruined dao bones were reforged, flesh becoming brilliant. He quickly recovered.
At his cultivation realm, he could even revive from a single drop of blood, let alone still having a ruined body. That was why surviving and recovering to his peak wasn't an issue.
Shi Hao left the primal chaos region, appearing in Desolate Region. He sensed that he was more powerful than he had ever been before!

Chapter 1814 - Heaven and Earth Great Changes
What was going on? Did he really achieve the dao?
At this point, Shi Hao still felt a bit of hesitation right now. Why did the tangible great dao that took form in the end disappear?
Moreover, he didn't obtain the blessing of heavenly dao, not obtaining the auspicious baptism. He just calmly made it through the great tribulations just like that? It didn't seem that realistic.
Roar…
A lion's roar sounded from the distance. The golden lion stepped on the heavens, running over, extremely fast, its power tremendous.
The massive lion body made even the sky dome tremble.
The golden lion's cheeks were streaming with tears, howling out, this type of appearance leaving even Shi Hao shocked. Were they really that close?
"Thank the heavens you didn't die, I didn't have to accompany you to the grave."
When Shi Hao heard this, he immediately understood. It was because they had a contractual agreement. It was scared that once he died, it would also die with him.
"What happened? You failed?" The golden lion asked. "You failed, yet could still survive? You really are an undying freak!"
It was a bit upset at this injustice.
"What are you trying to say?" Shi Hao stared at it.
Then, he displayed a bit of his power, normally releasing it. In that instant, this heaven and earth became different, this world starting to tremble.
Mountains and rivers shook, sun and moon becoming blurry, as if everything was going to come crashing down.
The golden lion was horrified, all of its fine hairs standing on end. It couldn't take it anymore, shivering all over. In the end, it really was disappointing, directly falling weak onto the ground, shaking over there.
This was beyond its control. This was a type of pressure that originated from its soul, making it unable to even raise its head, forcing it to lay on the ground.
It was just too terrifying.
However, something wasn't quite right? Why was so much time wasted? It recalled that when others achieved the dao, there was no way it would last this long. This wasn't normal at all!
Shi Hao restrained his power. He had to be more careful, he couldn't let his fluctuations leak outwards. All of the aura had to be kept inside his body, or else there would be a huge problem.
A single mistake, if he released his aura leak out, then it might cause other creatures to directly perish.
When the golden lion returned to normal, it carefully and seriously asked, "During these few weeks, just what were you doing?"
"Achieving the dao, resisting the interrogation of heaven and earth." Shi Hao replied.
"What?!" The golden lion could not remain calm any longer. It was extremely shocked, looking like it had seen a ghost. How could this be possible?
Wasn't it said that only one or two days was needed? Were there any heaven and earth interrogations that lasted more than ten days?
It was completely normal for it to last only a day or two!
"What is your current situation like?" The golden lion was skeptical.
Shi Hao looked at it. He didn't hide anything, because he knew this lion came from the other side, its experiences vast. The other side's experts were as numerous as clouds in the sky, so it definitely knew many secrets regarding the supreme being dao.
When the golden lion listened to everything, it became completely stupefied.
"Not blessed by heaven and earth, didn't obtain its baptism, you were the one who replenished your own essence energy? This…"
The golden lion felt that it was strange no matter how it thought about it. In the end, it couldn't help but say, "Does this count as achieving the dao? You basically forcibly stuck it through, the great dao isn't even willing to mess with you, turning its back on you, feeling like you are too troublesome!"
It was making sarcastic comments while in shock. This was just too inconceivable! What kind of state was Huang in? He didn't completely succeed, instead sticking it through tenaciously like an undying roach?
Did this even count as achieving the dao? It wasn't sure.
After hearing what it said, even Shi Hao was a bit speechless. When he carefully thought about it, he really did forcibly stick it through, not succeeding, but not failing. He didn't know if he succeeded or not.
"The great dao's blessing towards supreme beings affects too many things. You didn't obtain those things, can you even be considered a supreme being?" The golden lion was confused.
Shi Hao was also thinking to himself. His strength clearly increased, reaching a terrifying level. He believed that if he met Jin Taijun or Wind Clan's old ancestor, he definitely didn't have to run anymore.
If he was strong enough, then he could be just like Great Elder, directly smack Jin Taijun repeatedly in the face.
Stone Village seemed far, but for Shi Hao, even the other end of the world was close.
Under his feet appeared a great golden path that stretched across the Wasteland Region, directly arriving before the village. He directly crossed countless li, descending at the front of the village.
The villagers cheered, immediately erupting with noise.
When they saw Shi Hao return alive, how he was calm and unaffected, this was the best information.
"My child, how do you feel?" The expressions of Qin Yining and Shi Ziling both immediately changed from fretfulness to joy. Qin Yining wiped away her tears, a smile appearing on her face.
Yun Xi also arrived, her figure slender and elegant, quiet like a calm orchid. When her purple clothes fluttered about, she was like a lunar goddess who descended into the world of mortals, beautiful and otherworldly. Right now, her eyes also revealed joy, feeling a happiness from deep within.
"Uncle came back! This is too great! He definitely achieved the dao, becoming unmatched under the heavens!" A group of youngsters cheered, quickly rushing over.
"Child, everything is good as long as you return, as long as you are safe!" The old clan chief Shi Yunfeng completely relaxed. During these past few days, he had always felt apprehensive, fearing that something happened to Shi Hao, a bit of tears clouding his old eyes as well.
Right now, Shi Hao understood that he couldn't die no matter what. The entire village viewed him as their pillar. If he fell, then the consequences would be unfathomable.
"Cheap master, your life really is tenacious. You could even make it through this kind of danger?" The crimson dragon spoke. However, when its words just finished, it was sent flying by Shi Hao's foot, disappearing without a trace.
Of course, he was extremely careful, restraining his aura and fluctuations, or else that scarlet dragon might directly turn to ashes, not even a true dragon able to hold on.
"Haha, this is great! You really succeeded?" The Zhuyan jumped about.
"Heheh, I didn't expect my brother to have become a supreme being! From now on, who dares challenge me? They'll be scared to death! I need to hurry and cultivate the Great Black Tortoise God Fist!" Third Blackie stuck its head out, a vulgar appearance on his face.
"Go, stay off to the side and practice your turtle fist or whatever! Don't randomly act like you're so close!" The big red bird smacked it off to the side with a wing.
…
Stone Village held a huge celebration!
Only after several days did the village calm down a bit.
"Changes have taken place in this world, the essence energy seems to have become thin, and it seems to continuously be thinning!" The Zhuyan sought out Shi Hao, saying this.
In reality, the old clan chief, Shi Ziling, Yun Xi, and the others also sensed it. They all looked towards Shi Hao. These people came together to hear how he felt.
Shi Hao was even more sensitive, sensing everything clearly the moment he returned. During these few days, he had visited other places in the eight regions, discovering that it was like this everywhere!
He even more so entered Void God Realm before, asking Bird Grandpa and Coin Elder for advice. Those two were extremely serious, saying that the dao of the world has changed, that a terror was going to descend on this world.
"The world is changing. I reckon that a great problem has happened in the higher realms. I will go and take a look!" Shi Hao said. He decisively took action.
Before leaving, he looked at Yun Xi, transmitting sound, "The world is in chaos, my dao companion, so we must be apart more than we are together. I will first make a trip through the Nine Heavens."
Towards Yun Xi, he felt a bit ashamed. For the sake of cultivation, for the sake of becoming a supreme being as soon as possible, he agreed to his parents' request, becoming dao companions with Yun Xi.
However, during the night of the bridal room, he directly comprehended the dao, going into seclusion cultivation.
"I will wait for you!" Yun Xi only had these words.
Shi Hao left. When he passed by Heaven Region, the lord of the restricted region immediately became endlessly shocked. He never expected Shi Hao to directly reach this step.
"It is quite strange, it hasn't fully matured yet. However, I believe you will complete it."
Shi Hao nodded. He pursued the extreme dao, had to perfect it. Being able to reach this step could already be considered breaking a legend.
Shi Hao reached the higher realm, the journey going smoothly. That ancient path was now not an issue for him at all, unable to hinder his steps.
The moment he left Crucifix Yin Yang Earth, he immediately frowned, because he clearly sensed that this world became different. The spiritual essence had declined steeply, to the extent where it was even a bit sparse.
Comparatively speaking, it had dropped a huge amount!
"There are great changes happening to the world!"
Shi Hao rushed out, flying into the distance. Soon afterwards, he saw roiling black clouds, raging flames overflowing into the heavens.
Was this darkness matter? What was going on in the three thousand provinces? Was it completely occupied by the creatures of darkness?
He looked into the distance. The darkness army actually advanced into this province, displaying world engulfing might!
Soon afterwards, Shi Hao met a few creatures. He asked them for details, completely shocked at what he heard.
Half of the three thousand provinces fell under the hands of the darkness creatures.
A thousand five hundred provinces had shifted owners!
The reinforcements of Immortal Domain couldn't stop them?
Moreover, recently, there was another major event that happened, leaving everyone terrified. The creatures of darkness temporarily stopped fighting Immortal Domain, having a temporary ceasefire.
"The world is devouring itself, doomsday is approaching!"
This was what an elder said to Shi Hao with a trembling voice.
In reality, quite a few people knew this, because it was spoken by Immortal Domain's guests. They immediately sensed the abnormalities, and then soon afterwards, there were shocking changes as expected.
The Nine Heavens Ten Earths, those ancient lands, were floating, about to connect together, returning to one world.
The most shocking change was that the great dao became distant, spiritual essence would gradually dry up, entering dark times that weren't suitable for cultivation, perhaps even an era that didn't allow for it!
Even Immortal Domain's creatures were horrified, trying to think of countermeasures, fearing that this would extend into Immortal Domain.
Moreover, the creatures of darkness all temporarily stopped. They were also hesitating, only watching.
"Not good!" Shi Hao frowned. This wasn't suitable for his growth at all.
The cruelest era was about to arrive, yet it wasn't suitable for cultivation. Being born in this era was the sorrow of all creatures in this world.
Shi Hao wanted to understand the details. Just what was it that caused such a terrifying great event?
He wanted to find people he was close to, his old friends, also wanted to understand their current situation, just what exactly was going on.
The first one he thought of was Cao Yusheng. This fella had a master that could derive the past, present, and future. How was he now? Was he still alive or already deceased?
When they separated before, Cao Yusheng didn't hide anything, telling him where his master lived in seclusion. If there was anything that happened, he could come to look for him.
Shi Hao didn't waste any time, turning into a streak of lightning, disappearing from his original location.
Unfortunately, there was nothing to show for all of this. This was an extremely ordinary valley, the inside completely vacant, no signs of life.
Fortunately, the darkness matter didn't corrode this province yet.
"Did he not return from the Nine Heavens yet? However, why isn't his master here?" Shi Hao was confused. There were thatched cottages and ancient caves, but they were empty.
With his powerful divine will, right now, there wasn't anything that could escape him.
Soon afterwards, Shi Hao found a dao imprint left by Cao Yusheng. It was hidden well, but he still found it.
The imprints took form. Cao Yusheng was weeping, incredibly grieved and hurt.
"Before the dark ages began, my master went to face it, and then never returned… wuwu…"
Shi Hao was stunned. He released a light sigh.
"An age without cultivation has arrived. Perhaps it really is as my master predicted, sooner or later, I will be buried into the earth. I am going to look for a place to place my grave…"
He actually left behind these types of words.
Shi Hao was stupefied. Then, he carefully looked at these imprints. He was trying to decipher it, wishing to know where Cao Yusehng was. Was he really going to bury himself?
The imprints were deciphered, because there was a secret code Cao Yusheng had created with his friends, allowing them to see the secret information.
"I am going to head to the Land of Reincarnation. My master said that that place is suitable for raising a corpse, precisely the place where I should bury myself. I must bid my farewells to everyone!"
When he saw these words, he originally should have laughed, but Shi Hao just couldn't. Instead, he felt a bitter feeling. This damn era, it came just like this, hateful!
Land of Reincarnation!
Shi Hao began to search based on the information he had.
According to what Cao Yusheng's master said, that was Reincarnation Immortal King's immortal dwelling. There were also others who said that Without End Immortal King had previously established a residence here to cultivate in seclusion as well.
There was even more so a type of saying that this was a true reincarnation land to begin with, unrelated to those immortal kings!
There was actually a secret place like this!
For Shi Hao, distance wasn't an issue no matter how far it was. That ancient land was in the three thousand provinces, in this ancient continent, so it was even easier.
When he searched about, after a while, he finally arrived!
There was a dense primitive old forest in a grand mountain range. When he headed deeper inside, he actually saw some golden bricks and jade tiles hidden deep within the earth.
For Shi Hao, even the mountain range couldn't escape his sight. He could now see through even more things.
"This is the place!"
In front of a mountain region, he stopped. There was mist here, comparatively speaking extremely thick heaven and earth essence energy. Then, his figure disappeared into the mist with a flash.
Soon afterwards, he passed through all types of formations, entering a half sealed pure land. This place could also be considered a small world.
Shi Hao thought of all types of possibilities, but he never expected the scene before his eyes. It was a bit out of his expectations, leaving him dumbstruck.
He saw Cao Yusheng, as well as a dog, they were jumping about!
That Cao Yusheng wasn't the adult Cao Yusheng… actually only seven or eight years old. He was still chubby and tender, currently jumping.
What happened?! Shi Hao was stunned. Cao Yusheng returned to being a child? Why did he become younger?
Behind him was a palm-sized little puppy, currently chasing after him, barking.
Shi Hao became dizzy. This was just too humiliating. A palm-sized puppy was barking while chasing after Cao Yusheng, while he was running for his life!
"Return my dragon meat bun! This is something this great one was going to use for rebirth!" That palm-sized puppy barked.
Shi Hao felt a huge headache. Dragon meat bun?
Sure enough, he saw a snow-white bun in Cao Yusheng's hands. He wasn't willing to let go no matter what, running for his life. He really wanted to throw it into his mouth, but the dog behind him was madly chasing after him.
"Damn dog, who are you trying to fool? What Without End's brother, what reincarnated immortal king? Do you think I'm stupid? If I really give it to you, won't you just run without looking back?!" Cao Yusheng shouted.
What happened? Just what was going on? Shi Hao was a bit absent-minded.
"You were looting a grave, digging out this great one, already agreed to be my human servant, yet you still refuse to admit your wrongs, even stealing my dragon meat bun! Today, I am going to cook you alive!"
That palm-sized puppy was extremely fierce, crying out, but in reality, it was the length of Cao Yusheng's sole, yet it was chasing after him viciously.
Shi Hao really was dumbstruck. What kind of situation was this? It seemed to be what Cao Yusheng's master told him to do, choose a grave. But in the end, he dug it out, moreover digging out a puppy?
"Where is the long life medicine my master planted here? It was definitely eaten by you. Return it to me first, or else I definitely won't return this dragon meat bun!"
"Human servant, you've angered me! Accept your punishment!"
Shi Hao watched from afar, feeling ashamed for Cao Yusheng. He was being chased by a little dog, yet he was crying out in panic like this.

Chapter 1815 - I Am the First Immortal King
"Human pet, receive your punishment!" The palm-sized little puppy barked, calling Cao Yusheng a human pet. It opened its mouth, a streak of lightning hacking forwards.
Cao Yusheng had returned to being a child, looking like he was just seven or eight years old. His body was round, daoist robes around his body, extremely chubby, but also rather agile as he ran for his life.
His cultivation now was quite strong, already on a completely different level. However, it still wasn't enough for him to escape.
Peng!
Cao Yusheng was struck by that streak of lightning. He released a miserable scream, flying outwards into the distance.
With a sou noise, the palm-sized puppy jumped out, immediately stepping on Cao Yusheng's round face. It bared its fangs, threatening him.
"Human pet, you dare disobey me? Do you really not know this old one's strength?" It shook its perfectly straight tail, grinning there, revealing its snow-white little teeth.
"Who told you to steal the long life medicine my master stored here? I am only making things even!" Cao Yusheng cried out.
"Just because this great one didn't act out, you really thought I was someone easily bullied?"
"If you have something to say, then say it, don't use violence!" Cao Yusheng really failed to live up to expectations, trying to compromise. One had to know that this was only a palm-sized little puppy who was standing on his face!
He was actually scared of a puppy acting out!
Shi Hao really couldn't keep watching. He leapt out from where he was hidden, walking forward. He felt like this Fatty Cao really lacked a backbone!
"Bark! Who are you?"
Tears were about to stream down Fatty Cao's face, but before he could speak out, that puppy bared its fangs first, asking Shi Hao who he was, where he came from.
"Let him go first." Shi Hao said. When he saw this scene before him, he really didn't know what to say. The mischievous, round bellied Fatty Cao who was lacking in moral sense was actually tormented to this degree.
However, he also noticed that this puppy was not normal, his body giving off the feeling of great changes, possessing a type of mysterious, vigorous life force.
"Don't move, you aren't allowed to come over!" It was clear that this puppy was sensitive, sensing that something wasn't right, that Shi Hao was dangerous.
While speaking, its small claw was placed on Cao Yusheng's head, extremely sharp, perhaps just a bit of force and it would stab through.
Fatty Cao's small face immediately turned pale. This damn puppy's viciousness was something he had experienced before, he really was scared that he might be done for just like that.
Shi Hao smiled, still continuing forwards. This puppy was extremely uneasy, pressing down on Cao Yusheng's head until blood almost came out.
"This should be enough!" Shi Hao said. Ripples were released in the void, waves rushing out. A mysterious domain appeared, locking down this place.
Cao Yusheng was stupefied, because he sensed a boundless aura. This type of might was something he had experienced from Great Elder Meng Tianzheng, Immortal Wang, and the others before.
After thirty years passed, his old friend already grew to this degree? Fatty Cao was about to go crazy, feeling like this wasn't real at all, looking like he had seen a ghost.
"Wah ya ya! A monster! Just how young are you? Seeing as how tender your bloodline aura is, you are clearly a brat who is less than a hundred years of age. How could you have already entered this domain?"
The puppy cried out. In addition, it was extremely directly releasing Cao Yusheng, jumping on the ground, its eyes burning with a strange ferocity, staring continuously at Shi Hao.
Shi Hao was surprised, because right now, he was displaying supreme being might, yet this puppy wasn't restricted, still moving normally.
If it was a normal person, they would long be trembling in fear, laying on the ground.
Even though he didn't target Cao Yusheng, only sealing this place, Fatty Cao already couldn't move at all. He laid there, frozen like stone.
Shi Hao withdrew his aura, not releasing it anymore. He also began to size up this strange puppy.
"Don't be so shocked. Back then, what kind of opponents did this king face? You can't even begin to imagine!" The puppy bared its fangs.
Cao Yusheng was discontent. This little dog would always call itself this old one when it spoke to him, yet when it saw Shi Hao, it used the title this king.
"What dog fart king?!" Cao Yusheng quickly stood up, running from it, jumping to where Shi Hao was, staying away from it.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Immortal Ancient's number one immortal king!" The little dog introduced itself like this.
Cao Yusheng became speechless. Just now, it had felt like it was starting to become a bit more modest, no longer calling itself some old one, yet in the end, this fella directly increased his bullshit level, calling itself an immortal king!
Shi Hao revealed a strange expression. This puppy really couldn't be dealt with using normal reasoning.
"Brat, you already have supreme being level strength at your age, it really is quite respectable, having some of this king's past brilliance. This child is worth teaching! Why don't you take me as your master? I will pass onto you an unmatched great method!" The puppy raised its head, putting on an aloof and arrogant appearance.
Shi Hao wanted to smack this little dog, it really was arrogant.
Cao Yusheng opened his mouth, but he really didn't know what to say. However, he felt a strong urge to give it a vicious beating! Even so, before he could do anything, the little dog moved first!
It was because it was just too short, only a bit taller than the back of Shi Hao's foot, even raising its head to look at him was difficult. Only by raising its head all the way could it see Shi Hao's face.
With a whoosh sound, it displayed a secret method, just too fast, moving to the top of Cao Yusheng's head, sitting on it. It looked at Shi Hao from that position while tilting its head, using this height so that it didn't have to always raise its head.
"You damn little dog… climbing all over other people, this one is going to stake it all against you!" Fatty Cao was triggered. His face was being stepped on, he couldn't even protect his own head.
However, he discovered that he couldn't do anything to this dog. The puppy sat on his head, steady as a mountain. The so-called precious techniques, brilliance radiance, none of it could do anything to it.
"Human pet, be a bit more obedient. Stop wasting your energy already. Couldn't you see that not even this supreme being brat could do anything to this king? I am a reincarnated immortal king, but even though my dao skills aren't there, my body is sturdy and unbreakable. With your ordinary flesh, you can't do anything to me no matter what you try" The puppy spoke arrogantly.
At the same time, it also put on an impatient appearance, smacking Cao Yusheng's head with its paw, lecturing him.
Cao Yusheng was so angry he began to curse outwards. This little thing was bullying others too far! This damn thing really was something, directly sitting on his head.
"Stop being so noisy. In the future, I'll consider taking you as a disciple, pass onto you an unmatched immortal method." The puppy rubbed his head, looking like it was amusing a child.
None of Cao Yusheng's precious techniques could do anything. Even though sword energy and others released kengqiang noises, they couldn't do anything either. His entire face became red, about to be angered by this puppy to death.
"Previously a true immortal body, but your dao skills were lost, degenerating to this state?" Shi Hao asked.
"I already said everything! I am the number one immortal king!" The puppy said while sitting on Cao Yusheng's head.
"Let him go first, let's have a chat."
Shi Hao had many doubts towards this dog, full of amazement. He knew that this individual was definitely not simple, most likely a degenerated true immortal body.
With a sou sound, the puppy jumped down, landing on a stone table not far away, saying to Shi Hao 'please'!
Shi Hao sat on the stone stool, looking at it, carefully sizing it up, yet just couldn't see through it. Its body had a layer of mysterious power around it, blocking external perception.
"Without End Immortal King was my elder brother, Reincarnation Immortal King was my younger brother. After loathing that the world lacked opponents, unable to bear the loneliness, I cut myself down." The puppy said.

Chapter 1816 - Past or Future
"Find a pot and just stew it up!" Even the roots of Cao Yusheng's teeth were aching.
"Human pet, this king is talking, so you should just stay quietly to the side!" The puppy warned.
"Let it be, we can calmly talk about things." Shi Hao said.
All of the hair on this palm-sized puppy's body became a dark red, giving one a feeling of endless time passing, but also as if there was a wave of thriving life force that was spreading.
This was a bit contradictory, as if it was an old person, but also as if it had just been born.
Based on Shi Hao's suspicions, this really still might be an old monster that lived from Immortal Ancient until now, just that because of unexpected events, it lost its cultivation. Its flesh was still powerful.
As for reincarnation or whatever, he didn't believe it at all!
"You really believe this little dog's words?!" Cao Yusheng was upset, really wanting to convince Shi Hao to capture it.
He really had enough, no way would he believe this dog. Even the long life medicine planted by his master had been eaten by it, yet it still had the nerve to call itself an immortal king.
"You really dug it out of the ground?" Shi Hao asked Cao Yusheng.
"Yeah, that grave has existed for an endless amount of time, but who would have thought that what was waiting in the very depths was a stupid dog!" Cao Yusheng was furious.
"I'm warning you, if you call me a stupid dog one more time, I'm going to directly eat you!" The puppy glared at him, its fangs flickering with radiance.
"Let's have a sincere and fair discussion, there is no point in hiding anything." Shi Hao looked at this puppy.
This puppy revealed a strange expression. "What can you tell me, what valuable information do you have?"
"I've previously seen a corner of the future. There was a big black dog that achieved immortality who was always chasing after a fat daoist priest, biting him." Shi Hao said calmly.
Fatty Cao, even though he became extremely strong, became a true immortal, he was still constantly chased after by that dog, this was quite the sight to see in itself! However, this was the truth. In the Burial Land outside Desolate Border, Shi Hao had previously encountered this, previously seeing Cao Yusheng's figure past countless ages.
"What, you… saw it?!"
The puppy's expression changed, its dark red fur trembling, ears becoming straight. Its tail also stuck out straight, the expression in its eyes extremely unkind.
"Yi, you seem to also know about it?" Shi Hao was stunned. Then, he revealed a surprised expression; he couldn't help but start thinking to himself, staring at this puppy.
"You are Immortal Ancient's dog king, or are you that big black dog from the future?" Shi Hao suddenly asked. He actually spoke these words, carrying this kind of doubt.
"What?" Cao Yusheng was stunned, feeling extremely shocked, a bit in disbelief. The stupid dog he dug up could come from the future?
"You are trying to create a diversion, right? Having us mistake you for someone from Immortal Ancient, burying yourself here." Shi Hao stared at it.
"Youngster, it seems like your thoughts run quite deep. If you let yourself indulge in such wild fantasies, it will be easy for your mind to go crazy." The dark red puppy spoke, its voice not too fast or too slow.
"Are you saying that I'm wrong?" Shi Hao stared at it intently.
"Tell me, who can live in the past, who can reverse time-space? It has never happened before. Even if one can temporarily return, they won't be able to change anything. If I really came from all those years in the future, the karma that will be involved will be far too great, don't even dare speak a word. If I even try to do something to anyone, it might very well overturn the endless ages." The puppy said calmly.
"Then please tell us your true identity." Shi Hao calmly said.
"My relationship with Without End Immortal King is extremely good. However, during Immortal Ancient, I was seriously injured, hacked by a hidden spear from the other side that pierced through my skull. Back then, my dying body was buried in the Land of Reincarnation, and now, my dao skills have weakened, but I can still be considered to be making a turn for the better." The little puppy actually spoke these things.
Cao Yusheng opened his mouth. He had many questions he wanted to ask.
"Human pet, don't annoy me. When this old one was secretly attacked by that spear, it pierced through my primordial spirit, which made me forget many things. When the primordial spirit shatters, the amount that can remain is extremely limited. Now that we are on the topic, I was buried all fine and dandy, sleeping peacefully, so why did you come and bother me, digging up the grave, interrupting my transformation process?" The puppy spoke forcefully, mocking Cao Yusheng, making him swallow back the words he was just about to utter.
"You are an ancient creature, but when you heard the corner of the future I spoke of, mentioning that big black dog, why did you suddenly lose your cool?" Shi Hao asked.
"It is because you aren't the only one who could see a corner of the future. Back then, during Immortal Ancient Era, our powerful seniors had also made divinations, seeing this!" The puppy said.
It spoke candidly, that in Immortal Ancient times, its fur was black. Later, as its age increased, entered its older years, its fur became gray, carrying a dark red color.
"Fine, I followed Without End Immortal King. I was only a true immortal, not a king." It further admitted. Back then, Without End Immortal King cultivated the laws of time, grasping its great laws, previously divining the future.
"We should discuss things thoroughly!" Shi Hao said, his eyes burning with desire.
"Regardless of if you are from the future or from Immortal Ancient, tell us everything you know, don't hide anything!" Cao Yusheng was extremely moved.
"We can, however, I fear that you two will be disappointed. I really was ambushed by someone, my primordial spirit scattered, only a portion of my memories left."
…
Shi Hao stayed here for two days, having a private discussion with this dog.
Cao Yusheng wanted to join in, but each time, he would be bullied badly by that dog, smacked to the side by a paw.
"Why did you become younger?" After discussing things with this dog, only then did Shi Hao ask Cao Yusheng this question.
"I accidentally ate a dragon meat bun, and then some medicinal herbs, and then I turned younger." Cao Yusheng had a distressed look on his face.
The corners of Shi Hao's lips twitched. This was definitely great natural luck! To return to his younger years, for cultivators, this really was a blessing that couldn't be sought.
"Originally, I wanted to eat a long life medicine, but it disappeared!" Cao Yusheng was upset.
At this time, the puppy said candidly that it was indeed the one who ate the long life medicine, or else even if it was dug up, there weren't many chances of it surviving.
"Return my long life medicine to me!" Cao Yusheng was furious.
"What about my dragon meat bun? There are at least three missing!" The puppy bared its fangs.
…
Shi Hao decided to leave. Now that he met his old friend, he wanted to investigate the darkness creatures, to understand why this world was entering an age without cultivation.
"I'm going with you!" Cao Yusheng was decisive. Even if he was beaten to death, he couldn't be buried here right now. Otherwise, staying with that puppy really would be too much to endure.
"Bark! I am also going! Let's see what the present world is like. What stupid darkness creature? I'll make them all human servants!" The puppy barked.
They left, traveling through the three thousand provinces. They began to investigate carefully, learning about the situation.
Cultivationless Age, it was inevitable, irreversible. This was the result that they came to.
"The darkness matter has corroded the three thousand provinces, half of the territory has already entered the hands of the darkness creatures. Sigh, this is the case with the Nine Heavens as well, all of them losing half or a small half of their territory." Cao Yusheng sighed.
The Nine Heavens Ten Earths, as a whole, now lost half of its territory to the creatures of darkness.
This was too terrifying!
Shi Hao and the others wandered about the three thousand provinces, moving along the edge of the darkness region. These places all had great formations established, armies stationed in some places to intimidate the darkness creatures.
"There are even forts, made into cities?"
Shi Hao was stunned. There were some regions that had forts built to stop the creatures of darkness' advance. There were some experts in charge of defending them.
"Wang Family is in charge of this region!" Cao Yusheng said. He saw a large banner, on it a brilliant Wang character.
"Wang Family's Nine Dragons?" Shi Hao's eyes revealed chilly radiance. In the past, he was forced into extremely miserable states by those nine dragons, one of the nine dragons even personally sent troops to kill him.
"Wang Family is likely panicking as well. They previously sought out my master's place of seclusion, wishing to have him make a divination. However, they were a bit late, my master was already no longer there." Cao Yusheng said.
There were some people from Wang Family who really did some upsetting things, searching everywhere for Cao Yusheng's whereabouts, more than once, wishing to forcefully bring him away, and then force his master to give in.
"It's been a while. Then we will just take a look around this fort Wang Family's people are in charge of." Shi Hao said.
"The nine dragons might be here! In the past, even Immortal Wang had come here!" Cao Yusheng warned, but soon afterwards, he realized that Huang had already risen up, not fearing supreme beings, not scared of the nine dragons.
"I really do want to meet with these nine dragons again." Shi Hao said.

Chapter 1817 - Long Life Eldest Grandson
On this side of the mountain range, ancient trees towered into the heavens, lush and verdant, full of life force. Flying birds and roaming beasts could be seen everywhere from time to time.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the mountain range, black energy covered everything, all of the plant life becoming black. All sound seemed to have vanished, extremely deathly still.
On this side of the mountain range, there was a city built, an extremely massive fort located there, grand and imposing, suppressing the border.
On the fields, one could see groups of giant elephants surging with blood energy, rumbling as they passed. They carried all types of supplies, rushing towards the fort.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the mountain range, there were hoards of creatures, but they were completely silent. They were like a moving mountain, baring their snow-white fangs viciously, staring at this side, some of them seated. They devoured the black mist, eyes releasing vicious glints, preparing for war.
Both sides were extremely careful, facing each other.
This was especially the case when the world seemed like it was withering up, possibly entering an age without cultivation, so even the creatures of darkness became extremely cautious.
"That place seems to be quite lively."
One could see that not far out from the fort, it was a bit different from the usual tense war atmosphere. That place was rather lively, people clamoring about.
"There are markets like this not far from each fort, selling all types of strange goods from the darkness region." Cao Yusheng explained.
When fighting against foreign creatures, even though bloodshed was inevitable, there would still be some gains. After killing the powerful darkness creatures, they would obtain all types of strange things.
That was why near the frontier forts, there would often be cultivators drawn in. The clans would send people over to exchange for items from time to time.
"Are they not scared of being corroded by the darkness?" Shi Hao asked.
Everyone knew that the darkness matter was terrifying, once infected, they might not be able to break free in this lifetime. Only the most powerful dared to touch it.
"These things have all undergone divine purification. Otherwise, there is no way they would reach this type of place, be exchanged." Cao Yusheng said.
This was the work of Immortal Domain. They constructed a type of formation, moreover producing an extremely astonishing type of divine furnace that could refine darkness matter.
All of the goods that were seized would enter this furnace. Only after being purified, could they be exchanged in the markets.
"Yi, there are even creatures from Immortal Domain?" Shi Hao was shocked.
He saw some creatures, the armors on their bodies carved with strange symbols. They were extremely strong, and also extremely special, carrying immortal energy. He had seen them before.
Cao Yusheng nodded. "Some of the strange goods seized from the creatures of darkness are invaluable. Some of the families from Immortal Domain are mainly here as buyers."
Shi Hao became rather shocked. "Even the creatures of darkness could have great treasures on them?"
"They do, ruined artifacts, but ridiculously powerful, rumored to be bestowed by true darkness rulers. They were previously ruined fragments of my world!" Cao Yusheng explained.
The darkness experts from behind the scenes, they had previously experienced battles from other great eras, seizing supreme treasures from the Nine Heavens and even Immortal Domain. Some of them were destroyed, and thus granted to the servants under them.
Not long ago, someone killed a darkness supreme being, obtaining a pitch-black ruined metal ring from his hands. It was recognized to be a fragment of the world-shocking Vajra Gem!
That thing used to be extremely well-known in Immortal Domain, shaking up all directions.
When some great families from Immortal Domain learned of this, they immediately hurried over, eager to obtain it.
"It can only be said it was rather lucky that time, even a fragment of an Immortal Domain supreme treasure appearing, seized back like this. It really was too unexpected." Cao Yusheng said with a sigh.
Apart from this, there was someone who obtained a ruined fragment of the Nine Phoenix Furnace from a darkness supreme being. This was a valuable treasure of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths!
Shi Hao became quiet. He wasn't shocked by the treasures, but rather worried over the evolution speed of the darkness creatures. Just how much time passed? After thirty years, supreme beings already appeared in succession.
One had to understand that those creatures were all deceased cultivators of the three thousand provinces, not incredible experts when they were still alive. However, when they were revived after their deaths, they obtained such terrifying evolutionary speed. What exactly was this so-called darkness matter?
"Yi, that little cultivator seems a bit familiar." Right at this time, someone saw Cao Yusheng, revealing a look of surprise.
He opened a painting scroll. After carefully comparing it, he immediately revealed a look of shock. Why did this little fatty look so similar to the fat daoist priest Cao Yusheng?!
Shi Hao was stunned. After thirty years passed, Cao Yusheng already became someone well-known? They just arrived, yet someone already recognized him!
"They're from Wang Family, they've always been chasing after me, trying to capture me to force out my master, but were fiercely toyed with several times." Cao Yusheng said, playing this situation down.
However, Shi Hao could completely imagine what happened. With this little fatty's nature, being pursued by others, just how vicious would his methods of retaliation be. Just how deep of an impression did he leave them for them to chase him all around the world, trying to drive him out?
Shua!
That person blocked their way out. He stared at Cao Yusheng, extremely direct, standing in the way, clearly an expert.
"Are you Daoist Priest Cao?" He asked with a fake smile.
"Stop doubting already, I am precisely your family's dao grandpa!" Cao Yusheng was extremely direct, not like before where he immediately turned around to run. Even though this was a fort Wang Family was in charge of defending, he didn't panic, because he had Shi Hao next to him.
"Heh heh, dao grandpa, then please come with me. My family's lord has always been thinking about you." This person smiled in a meaningful manner.
Even though he knew that Cao Yusheng was formidable, he wasn't scared at all, because this was Wang Family's territory. Now that Fatty Cao dared barge in here, even if he didn't die, they would peel a layer of skin off him.
This place neighbored the fort, just too close. With just a call, Wang Family's experts all appeared. Moreover, with great formations sealing up this place, who could escape?
Before Cao Yusheng could say anything, that puppy was the first to speak up. "Human pet, what are you staring around blankly for? Just smack him flying!"
Cao Yusheng really was annoyed beyond belief. This damn dog was really ordering him like a human pet, domineering to the point of making him grind his teeth.
"You… dare behave like this in our fort?" Wang Family's expert was shocked and angered.
"There's always been the saying that when beating the dog, one should look to the owner. Today, even if I beat up an errand dog like you, so what?" Cao Yusheng said.
"Bark!" The puppy was furious, directly leaping out a meter into the air, biting Cao Yusheng's hand.
The surrounding people were stupefied, speechless. This really was cursing a buddhist monk for being bald!
"Let go! Stop biting me!" Cao Yusheng screamed in pain.
He swung his hand with everything he had. In the end, this puppy was stuck to him, he couldn't get rid of it at all, almost tearing his flesh right off.
"You are just like dog skin plaster, why are you sticking to me like this?" Cao Yusheng complained.
Even Shi Hao became speechless, they really were looking for trouble… just that sentence alone most likely triggered that little dog.
"Motherfucking… you still dare curse me!" The little dog bared its fangs, biting down with even more strength.
Tears almost came out of Cao Yusheng's eyes. This stupid dog displayed a secret method that increased the pain over a hundred times. He couldn't help but curse out, "Who would have thought that there were so many common sayings that were connected to dog species like yours? Could it be that you went too far with bad things in your last life, making those of later generations always reminisce about you?"
What made everyone stunned was that this dog loosened its mouth, even seriously thinking to itself. "That might actually be the case… those idiots were jealous of me, which was why they must have left behind some bad rumors related to me."
Everyone was stunned. Wasn't this little dog just too narcissistic, or was it just dumb?
Was this internal strife? While seizing this chance, Wang Family's expert turned around to run, moreover displaying secret methods, starting to transmit sound, reporting to his clansmen.
Soon afterwards, he received a reply.
"Cao Yusheng, you really dared show yourself?" Right at this time, a loud shout sounded, ringing like thunder.
These were two old servants dressed in gray robes. They were like two streaks of gray lightning, immediately diving down, landing on the road, clearly Wang Family's top level experts.
These two had previously waited upon Immortal Wang, they were his personal servants. Now, they were sent out.
"Bring him over, have him confess his sins and receive his punishment." Not far out, there was a large restaurant, gold and jade in glorious splendor, richly ornamented. A voice sounded from within.
Just from the voice alone, one could tell that it wasn't that aged, instead rather young.
There were quite a few people in the building, their statuses all extraordinary. There were people from long life families, as well as creatures from Immortal Domain's families. They all came to purchase darkness magical artifacts.
"I was wondering who it was. So it was Immortal Wang's oldest grandson! What a character, how arrogant. However, you want me to bow down and confess my faults? In my opinion, you're going to be the one pissing your pants while greeting this dao grandpa!"
"Heh, even a stray dog dares behave so atrociously." Immortal Wang's eldest grandson said slowly.
"Forget about you, even if the nine bugs came, even they wouldn't be enough!" Cao Yusheng sneered.
What was even more stirred up was that little dog. When he heard Wang Family's oldest grandson's words, it immediately became furious, screaming, "Bark! Brat, you're dead for sure! No one in the heavens above and earth below can save you!"

Chapter 1818 - Supreme Being Shi Hao
"Oh? I was calling Daoist Priest a stray dog, why did another get upset? I was just feeling it was strange, turns out there really was a stupid little dog." Sounds of laughter sounded from the golden-bricked jade-tiled restaurant.
"Ha ha…" Many people in that restaurant laughed loudly. There was a group of noble children, some disciples from top families and others inheritors of undying great sects.
Apart from this, there were girls who released soft laughter.
Even though they couldn't be seen, all of them in the building, one could imagine how amusing everyone found these words.
"Stupid dog, you are being mocked by others!" Cao Yusheng turned around, lowering his head to look at that puppy.
Right now, the little dog's eyes turned a bit blue, the result of anger, white smoke coming out of its nose. It bared its fangs, saying, "Brat, you won't die anymore, however, let me tell you, being alive will be worse than death for you!"
Even though its origins weren't small, from its temper, one could tell that this fella wasn't of the good sort, definitely not the type to be on the losing end often. It wanted to get revenge.
"Human pet, go, capture them!" The little dog screamed, shouting at Cao Yusheng.
Then, with a sou sound, it leapt out. Even though it was only the size of a palm, its swiftness was too great, fast to the point where one couldn't react in time, appearing on Cao Yusheng's head.
"Motherfucking… get off me! How can this dao grandpa's legendary reputation be ruined under your hands?!" Cao Yusheng was upset, doing his best to pull it off.
However, he couldn't no matter what he did!
It was because this dog's origins were too great. Even though his cultivation declined, his flesh was still ridiculously powerful. No matter how one attacked it, it was completely unmoved.
The little dog sat on Cao Yusheng's head, as if it had planted its roots, completely unmoved.
"Human pet, I choose you!" The little dog shouted.
Nearby, everyone was about to faint. What was going on with these individuals? A bean-sized puppy even dared act this arrogant, and there was even inner conflict!
Ha ha…
Roaring laughter sounded from the restaurant. Many people began to laugh.
Even though that restaurant was built in the market, it was like a royal palace, richly ornamented, a bejeweled building. To be more precise, it was a magical artifact. It was a place for those with status to rest and conduct transactions.
Shi Hao didn't say anything. This man and dog pair really were 'natural enemies', as if they were old enemies even in their past lives.
"Fuck your ancestors, stupid dog, get off me!" Cao Yusheng's chubby little hands were already pulling with everything he had.
"Attack!"
The little dog released a light shout. Its body shone, its faint red fur becoming brilliant, bringing Cao Yusheng with it, rushing towards that restaurant.
Up ahead, there were two gray-clothed elders who exchanged a look, but didn't stop them. Capturing Fatty Cao was their goal, and now, he was walking right up to their door.
"Let go of me!" Cao Yusheng struggled.
"Stop struggling, this is a supporting technique. Right now, you are comparable to a human flying sword." The little dog said.
With a hu la sound, a large group of people surrounded over, blocking the outside of the restaurant. Those who watched from the side weren't worried about things getting crazier, all of them spectating.
Shi Hao naturally also followed along. At his cultivation realm, even if he was standing in front of everyone's eyes, no one would be able to see through his depths.
One man, one dog, fought while climbing the restaurant, directly reaching the highest floor-- tenth floor.
There was a spacious lounge here, as well as many private rooms. It was flowing with brilliance, essence energy rich. The entire building was a magical artifact suited for cultivation and residing.
Wang Family's eldest grandson Wang Tian had long walked out. He stood there, currently looking down on the ascending Cao Yusheng. He laughed and said, "Daoist Priest Cao, Wang Tian welcomes you."
There were quite a few people here, mostly youngsters. Of course, there were some older generation cultivators as well. All of them were sizing up the people climbing the stairs.
"Daoist priest, your situation looks rather worrisome. A little dog is even able to tyrannically abuse you on your head, you might as well have entered my Wang Family earlier." Wang Family's eldest grandson Wang Tian calmly said.
Many people laughed. Cao Yusheng really was in a bit of a sorry state.
"Hehe…" There were some ladies who secretly laughed, carrying a bit of mockery. Compared to those heroic youngsters in their eyes, the difference was just too far.
"Wang Family, my status is something you can only imagine of reaching!" Cao Yusheng said coldly. Originally, he wanted to display his might outside the building, yet in the end, this dog was too impatient, bringing him up, making him lose all sense of prestige and dignity.
As for the little dog, it was currently grinding its teeth, operating a technique.
"Is this the dog daoist priest has raised? It really is a bit small, cute and clever, what breed is it? It seems to have become sentient a while ago? In the future, perhaps I should raise one as well." Wang Tian had a faint smile on his face.
He looked easygoing, but he was ridiculing Cao Yusheng.
However, what he didn't know was that when he first mocked this small dog, he ended up completely offending it.
"Bark! Smack your mouth!"
With a cry, the little dog leapt out, leaving behind afterimages in the sky. Then, with a pa noise, a dog paw struck Wang Tian's face, too fast, impossible to evade.
Of everyone here, only Shi Hao saw clearly what happened, no one else could even react.
This dog paw sound was loud and clear, and it was also dripping with blood, because it was extremely sharp. The small palm smashed into Wang Tian's face, striking him until he staggered, and then flew out, crashing into a jade table.
At the same time, there were several gashes left behind that carried blood, left behind by the dog paw.
Everyone was stunned. None of them expected a little dog to have such a vicious temper, smacking Wang Family's eldest grandson flying.
One had to understand that this was a long life family's eldest grandson! He looked easygoing, but he possessed terrifying divine force. Once he took action, there weren't many who could match him.
He was Immortal Wang's very own grandson. After being fostered for so many years, rarely making an appearance outside, his strength became extremely powerful!
There were some who found this hard to believe. They had just clashed, yet his face was already smacked by a little dog paw until it was bloody, sent flying.
There were some young ladies whose small mouths widened in shock, looking stunned. They released a cry of alarm.
This was too inconceivable!
Many people became a bit stupefied.
"You dare?!" The two gray-clothed elders were about to throw themselves over. One person went to grab the dog, another grabbed at Cao Yusheng's neck, wishing to quickly capture them.
It had to be said that taking action like this carried an intent to humiliate, after all, they were grabbing at a person's neck.
Heng!
A cold snort sounded. The two elders' bodies trembled intensely, their pupils widening, looking towards another youngster. They were horrified, bodies trembling uncontrollably.
It was just a cold snort, yet they felt as if they were struck by lightning, bodies shaking, unable to help but kneel down.
"Who are you all trying to capture?" Shi Hao asked coldly.
The others could also tell that something wasn't right, staring at this in shock, looking towards that youngster. What kind of background did he have, to actually shock those two gray-clothed elders stiff?
There were some people who knew that these two gray-clothed elders had personally served Immortal Wang. They were his servants!
"You…"
The two were terrified, shaken from the innermost depths of their soul.
In the end, with two putong sounds, they couldn't control their bodies, kneeling down before Shi Hao.
This was their bodies' instinctive action, moving against their wills. As if they were common beasts before a beast king, an instinctive fear.
"Who are you?" At this time, Wang Tian stood up. He looked at this scene in shock. While walking over, the expression on his face was incomparably ugly.
He was actually smacked in the face by a small dog and sent flying, leaving him feeling incomparably humiliated.
Right now, even though he knew that Shi Hao's status was extraordinary, he still couldn't help but shout out, filled with rage, really wanting to kill. However, he wasn't that worried, because there were members of Wang Family's nine dragons overseeing this fort.
"Who am I? Hah!" Shi Hao was extremely cold, standing there.
Wang Tian was horrified. When his body was swept by Shi Hao's gaze, even someone as powerful as him, at the Self Release Realm, felt his legs weaken, his heart tremble, directly kneeling.
This was a type of biological instinct, an innate servitude to the most powerful. He couldn't control himself at all, kneeling just like that, his entire body shaking uncontrollably.
Everyone was stupefied.
Some people from long life families began to feel apprehension.
There were Immortal Domain youngsters here. Right now, they also revealed shocked expressions.
Some young ladies covered their mouths in shock. This was Wang Tian, Wang Family's eldest grandson! However, with just a single berating, a single look, he kneeled, it was too shocking.
"Haha… Wang Family's eldest grandson, weren't you putting on airs? Why did you kneel down? I really ended up being correct, kneeling to welcome me." Cao Yusheng roared with laughter, feeling incredibly happy, finally venting out a bit of resentment.
"Heng!" Right at this time, a cold snort sounded, descending like thunder, making everyone's souls tremble.
"You dare cause disorder in my Wang Family's territory?" The instant this voice sounded, a large hand reached over from the fort, covering the restaurant, wishing to capture and kill Shi Hao.
"Wang Da, you really believe yourself infallible. You even want to take action against me?" At this time, Shi Hao also took action.
With a peng sound, he didn't release his aura, but reached out his right arm, spreading his five fingers, gripping that large hand in the void, and then pulled.
A roar sounded from the fort, carrying shock and rage, as well as a hint of fear!
Wang Da really was horrified. Someone gripped his arm in place, directly pulling his body out from the fort!
Dong!
Shi Hao loosened his hand, throwing a gray-haired person on the ground, the impact making this place tremble intensely. It was precisely Wang Family Nine Dragons' Wang Da.
Right now, everyone was stunned, completely stupefied.

Chapter 1819 - Shocking
Wang Da's spirit was vigorous. Even though he was taken prisoner, his eyes were still shining like golden lamps, coldly sweeping over everyone.
He had a head of gray hair, carrying white strands, his age rather great. Who was he? He was Immortal Wang's eldest son! He was born during the archaic age, his magical force deep and profound.
Many people felt apprehensive towards him. In the Nine Heavens above, not many people dared provoke him, because his origins were too great!
However, it was precisely someone this powerful who was thrown to the ground, forcibly taken captive. It truly left everyone stupefied!
It was unknown just how long ago he became an expert at the peak of Self Release Realm, his cultivation ridiculously profound, well-known in this world.
A person this powerful was captured, thrown to the ground in this hall, how could everyone not be horrified?
"Who are you?" Wang Da's voice was cold. He stared at Shi Hao, carrying shock and anger. Wang Family was a long life family, his father was unmatched in the Nine Heavens Ten Earths.
It could be said that Wang Family was already one of the most noble families in this world. If Immortal Domain's cultivators didn't take action, who dared provoke them?
Right now, even though Shi Hao was standing right in front of him, Wang Da still couldn't see through him.
Once one's cultivation reached the Supreme Being Realm, magical force became vigorous, aura devouring the starry skies. Shi Hao quietly stood there, his entire body becoming incredibly mysterious, as if he was shrouded in great dao mist.
In reality, there was no mist, just that his cultivation was too profound, outsiders unable to see through him. All those who tried to peer into his divine consciousness and others would be erased by dao laws.
This was the dao skill of the supreme being level. If one didn't wish to become known in this world, even if they were standing right in front of your faces, others wouldn't know it at all, the so-called wouldn't recognize a monarch even if he was in front of you.
Of course, Wang Da felt lucky, believing that this was likely a pseudo supreme being. He didn't really believe that this was a true supreme being expert, because he could sense exuberant vitality, this person's age shouldn't be that great.
Shi Hao walked forward, lowering his head to look at Wang Da. This made him feel extremely uncomfortable; just how many years had it been since he was last looked down on?
Wang Da leapt out, but blood was flowing out from the corners of his lips. He was injured, moreover, the injuries weren't light!
"Dao friend, you are a bit too domineering! This is a frontier stronghold, not a place where you can act wildly!" Wang Da said with a sunken voice.
Shi Hao knew his temperament, this person was conceited and arrogant. In the past, just because of a slight disagreement, he wanted to kill him, his temper extremely great.
"Are my actions domineering? How can it compare to your Wang Family? Just a Wang Family eldest grandson, yet he dared to raise his voice against us, have us kneel and accept our punishment?!" Shi Hao said.
Previously, Wang Family's eldest grandson was precisely like this, ordering the two gray servants to capture Cao Yusheng and the others outside, insisting that they kneel and confess their crimes.
"The young one's temper is great, it can be understood. Dao friend, why must you bully the small as the great, bicker with him?" Wang Da said.
Even though his temper was great, he also knew the severity of the situation. The person before him was too mysterious, his strength astonishingly profound, so he didn't wish to immediately have a falling out.
"My temper is also quite great, so it can't be helped. When others strike my face, I can only give them a kick." Shi Hao calmly said.
He didn't have a single good impression of Wang Family. This was especially true of the nine dragons. Back then, they tried to kill him several times, once directly slaughtering their way over to Heavenly Deity Academy, almost taking his life while Great Elder wasn't there.
Now, he already came out of seclusion, becoming a supreme being level exert. Now that he encountered them, he naturally wouldn't be forced back, let alone run.
"Friend, with things already like this, how about we just let bygones be bygones?" Wang Da said, the expression in his eyes deep.
Cao Yusheng said with ridicule, "Old fella, you really are quite conceited? Even your own safety is hard to ensure, yet you are still acting so touch. Not even uttering a word of apology, yet you want things to be done here? Are you preparing to look for those brothers of yours, and then your old father, get all of them here to surround and kill us?"
Wang Da gave him a cold look, his eyes deep, moreover carrying a bit of frost. Perhaps if an ordinary person was stared at like this, they might just die.
Shi Hao was right here, how could he just let him act viciously? In this region, all methods were useless.
"Tian'er, come here!" Wang Da said.
Wang Tian was his own son. As Wang Family's eldest grandson, his aptitude was exceptional, strength truly great. However, right now, he was kneeling on the ground, trembling slightly.
This was extremely humiliating, making Wang Da's face fall.
He was already shouting, yet Wang Tian still couldn't stand up, suppressed by supreme being might.
"Dao friend, aren't you bullying others too far? Even if Tian'er showed you all disrespect, wishing to take action, didn't he still fail? Why must you be this overbearing?!" Wang Da shouted.
He found it a bit hard to suppress his temper.
Shi Hao didn't say anything, only quietly looking at him. When he thought about how he was looked down on by the nine dragons in the past, how he narrowly escaped death, and how he rose up, no longer having to fear Wang Family, his emotions were complicated.
The stars have turned, times have changed, the transformations of the world really were too fast. The small cultivator of the past already grew up.
"So you aren't willing to let this matter go?" Wang Da's expression was cold. He looked at Shi Hao, his voice becoming colder. "Wang Tian is the eldest grandson, someone who my father favors. Humiliating him like this, are you declaring war against my Wang Family?"
Wang Da's rage was building. Even though he knew that this person before him was extraordinary, stronger than him, he didn't believe that the other side would be willing to completely have a falling out.
He had confidence, because Wang Family now vaguely had the might of number one clan in the Nine Heavens above. His father's prowess was great, strength becoming more and more terrifying.
Apart from this, in recent years, they actively built relationships, secretly contacting the darkness creatures, while in the open, they had good relationships with some great families from Immortal Domain, having dealings with them.
It could be said that they were playing all sides, roping in influence.
It was because the Chaos Calming Art was in their hands, something even some of Immortal Domain's ancient inheritances coveted. There were some that stated they were willing to let them enter Immortal Domain.
That was why in recent years, Wang Family became stronger and stronger.
Wang Da had confidence in his backing, not all that worried. As long as Shi Hao wasn't a darkness creature, he believed that he would make the most sensible choice.
"Are you threatening me?" Shi Hao calmly swept him a look.
"Let go of Tian'er, and then let this matter go!" Wang Da said. He didn't deny it, directly giving this cold reply.
He had confidence, because in this building, he saw someone familiar. This was a great clan from Immortal Domain, his backing powerful. Right now, those people were currently nodding towards him, smiling in greeting.
With these people here, he believed this person didn't dare act randomly.
Those people had all previously interacted with Wang Family, desiring the Chaos Calming Art, so their relationship was close.
Now that Wang Family faced difficulties, he believed they wouldn't just watch from the side with their hands behind their backs.
"Heh heh heh…" Shi Hao laughed.
"What are you laughing at? What is so funny?" Wang Da said with a sunken face.
"I am laughing because you don't know the difference between being dead and alive, daring to threaten me so openly." The corners of Shi Hao's lips curled upwards slightly, carrying a smile of disdain.
"So what if I threaten you? Who do you think you are?!" Wang Da was furious, now bursting in anger, no longer holding back.
This was the result of his long habit of being overbearing. In the past, he even dared threaten Great Elder, relying on his father. Now, with Immortal Domain allies here, he naturally remained unyielding.
Pa!
Shi Hao didn't say anything, just sending a palm flying, striking Wang Da's face, making blood gush from his mouth, teeth fly everywhere. His body flew out, smashing into the wall.
Wang Da flew into a rage out of humiliation. The instant he fell, he leapt out, erupting with divine light, displaying a restricted secret technique, wishing to kill Shi Hao.
However in the end, when he rushed over, tried to attack Shi Hao, his entire body's magical force surged intensely, his body feeling like it was going to explode.
Wang Da was horrified this time. He originally thought that Shi Hao was a pseudo supreme being, just a bit stronger than himself, but now, it seemed like this person most likely broke into that deeper domain.
"A bit interesting, the so-called Nine Dragons have some tricks." Shi Hao said.
With a peng noise, this time, a foot swept out, smashing into Wang Da until blood sprayed out from his large mouth. Even though precious techniques appeared, techniques mysterious, he was still not a match at all.
Wang Da was far stronger than ordinary peak self release cultivators, because he had a secret formation carved in his body, all of the nine brothers like this. If they were merged together, they would become unmatched under the heavens.
This matter was something Shi Hao had long learned from Desolate Border. Now that he truly fought with Wang Da, he understood it a step further.
Not simple at all!
Otherwise, if it was an ordinary person, as long as Shi Hao displayed might, it would already be enough to crush them until they couldn't lift a finger.
However, the result was still already set.
Peng!
Shi Hao's fist flew out, striking Wang Da until he exploded, blood flying everywhere, shocking everyone here.
No one expected him to dare deal a vicious blow.
Chi!
Bloody mist and bone fragments shone. Wang Da immediately reconstructed his body, reappearing. His hair was disheveled, looking like a malicious spirit. He stared at Shi Hao, carrying shock and fear.
"Extraordinary as expected, having some skills." Shi Hao nodded.
Wang Da had a formation within him that could immediately activate, prevent him from dying, moreover allowing him to quickly recover.
If the nine dragons had two or three together, their formation would continue without end, supporting each other, become even more terrifying. Shi Hao now understood a bit.
"You're in luck." Right at this time, the little dog spoke up, looking towards Cao Yusheng. "You also carved formations in your body, right? If you can transplant all nine corners of Wang Family's nine dragons into your body, wu, you might actually gain enlightenment in the future because of this!"
"In that case, I'll give you a great present." When Shi Hao heard this, he walked over, a foot kicking Wang Da outwards, making him cough large mouthfuls of blood, in the end not moving at all.
In this restaurant, everyone was horrified. The young ladies covered their mouths, in disbelief. This person was too strong, not scared of Wang Family at all.
"Dao friend, you should let others off where it is possible." Right at this time, a family from Immortal Domain finally spoke up.
There were several people who walked over, the expressions on their faces calm, lining up, standing in front of Wang Da's body.
"Wang Family humiliated me first, why can't I take action to discipline him?" Shi Hao asked.
"Heh, I don't care what kind of grudges you have, immediately stop right now. You can leave." A white-clothed youngster among them spoke, full of arrogance.
"Dao friend, with things already like this, it is still best if we exchange weapons of war for jade and silk, let this matter end." An elder said.
Shi Hao looked at the elder, saying, "Your words are still reasonable. However, this youngster seems to be rather insolent."
"If my Immortal Domain's Hong Family wishes to protect some people, do I have to lower my tone just for something like you?" That youngster said coldly.
Shi Hao laughed. His voice became overcast and forceful. "This is my captive, no one can stop me!"
These people weren't true immortals, yet they dared to order him while pointing at his face? At worse, he would just suppress them all. He'll just wrap them all up, take these captives with him back to the lower realms.
"You wish to make my Hong Family your enemy?" On the other side, someone said coldly.
Shi Hao didn't say anything. At this time, the little dog spoke out, saying, "What dragon fart Hong Family? I remember back then, I took in a human pet in Immortal Domain surnamed Hong. Don't tell me that fella made your family?"
"Damn dog, you…" That white-clothed youngster pointed at it in anger, his expression cold.
"Let this king give it a try." The little dog said to himself. It produced a little bell from its neck, and then began to shake it.
Putong putong…
In that instant, those people's bodies all shone, mysterious symbols covering their heads, falling on the ground, continuously rolling about, screaming miserably as if their hearts were splitting, lungs tearing.
"It really was that Hong Family, the one I took as a human pet, the curse engraved in their blood passed onto the descendants, heh heh!" The little dog snickered.
"Ah…" Those people screamed miserably.
When the bell sound disappeared, while trembling in fear, kneeling on the ground, one of them said with a trembling voice, "Your respected self, are you really that great one?"
Everyone became stunned. Even those with tough minds became petrified at this moment, becoming incomparably shocked!

Chapter 1820 - Little Dog With An Astonishing Background
What kind of situation was this? The cultivators of an Immortal Domain family ended up like this? They were calling that little dog great one, what in the world was going on!
The little dog acted extremely cockily, not seeming that concerned from the very start, looking at them in disdain. Everyone was extremely speechless; this really was too strange and bizarre.
"Great one… is it really your respected self?" The elder with the greatest age was trembling, kneeling on the ground, crawling forward. His attitude was just too respectful, full of incomparable reverence.
How could others not be shocked at this sight? They were all stunned. How could this fella from Immortal Domain be like this? To be this respectful to a small dog, it really was terrifying.
"What did all you call me just now?" The little dog shot them a sidelong glance. It already jumped onto the jade table, or else it really was too short.
Cold sweat immediately ran down this elder's body, his fine hairs standing on end. It was because his clan's youngster directly called it a stupid dog! This really left him horrified.
This was especially when he thought about this dog's past nature, leaving him feeling even more frightened. It was definitely savage, moreover bore grudges. Directly cursing it like this, isn't this the same as being tired of life?
In the past, the clan's old ancestor definitely had his fair share of dog bites. Even though he became a true immortal, he still wasn't willing to recall the past. That was a period where tears of blood were shed, memories that were better forgotten.
Yet now, their descendants ended up encountering this ancestor, how could they not be scared? Their legs and stomachs were cramping.
"Great one, please don't lower yourself to our level, please forgive us." Bloody wisps even appeared on this elder's forehead. With his cultivation, he naturally didn't fear having his scalp torn by the floor, but he still had no choice but to produce this type of display.
The people behind him all looked at each other with expressions of dismay. There were some who were shocked, some stupefied, others at a loss, not knowing what to do. It was clear that not everyone in the clan knew about these 'past things'.
"Uncle!" A middle-aged man called out with a soft voice.
"Shut your mouth!" The elder released a low berating.
"I truly never thought that after all these years passed, I would still see your race, heh!" The small dog bared its fangs, laughing, the snow-white little fangs leaving all of them terrified.
In reality, this elder was cursing inwardly. So many years passed already, a great era, why did this dog thing jump out again?
Back then, his ancestors confirmed that this dog was already dead, falling in Immortal Ancient battle, plotted against by someone, a spear impaling it. In the end, it actually showed up again like this.
He really wanted to immediately return, report to the elder that this dog was still alive!
Was there still heavenly reasoning? The past demon, villain, the existence who made even his ancestor's face turn pale, after all these years, could appear in this world again!
"There isn't much else to say. Come over, apologize to my human pet first, get over your shock already." The little dog reached out a claw, pointing towards Cao Yusheng.
As a result, both sides loathed this.
Immortal Domain's individuals were conflicted, especially the younger generations. They were being berated by a little dog, demanded to apologize, it really was hard for them to take.
As for Cao Yusheng, there was even less of a need to explain. It was as if he drank a barrel of oil, hating it so much he wanted to trample it to death!
"This is your respected self's human pet?" That elder still had a serious expression, carefully asking.
"Get lost!" Cao Yusheng really couldn't take this anymore.
"We didn't do anything to offend him, all we did was utter a few words with that youngster." The people in the back muttered. They admitted that they acted against Shi Hao, but they didn't seem to have troubled Cao Yusheng.
"This matter arose because of my human pet, so you all naturally need to compensate him." The little dog said in an aggressive manner.
"Uncle, why is there a need to do this? It is just a little dog, is there a need for your respected self to lower your head like this?!" In the back, that white-clothed youngster already couldn't take this a long time ago.
In reality, he had always been enduring, his lungs about to explode already. His clan was one of the most powerful clans, one with a true immortal, yet now, they were actually so low profile, apologizing because of a stupid little dog.
He couldn't bear this no matter what, feeling like this was utter humiliation.
It was because he didn't know about this clan's background, not understanding the past truth.
Towards their clan's old ancestor, this was a piece of dark history, a time of bloody tears, how could it be told to later generations? Only some of the older generation were aware of it.
"You aren't convinced?"
With a sou sound, the little dog jumped out, landing on this white-clothed youngster's head, smacking down fiercely. This youngster immediately saw stars, the crown of his head almost shattering, almost planting face first into the ground.
He really was angered badly, his liver in pain, his stomach sore, entire body aching. This little dog really went all out, leaving him utterly furious!
"You dare humiliate me!" He roared out.
"What's so special about a brat like you, what shame is there? Even your ancestor was my human pet, yet even a bean like you dares challenge me." The little dog brazenly ridiculed.
"I'm going to stake it all against you!" The youngster released auspicious brilliance, displaying a secret method, wishing to kill this little dog. However, all precious techniques were useless against it.
On the other side, the others from Hong Family were truly scared badly, especially that elder, his face the color of dirt. He knelt on the ground, shuddering in fear.
"You evil child, why aren't you stopping yet?!" He roared out.
"Uncle, why are you like this?" The white-clothed youngster was shocked and furious.
"It… really is our ancestor." The elder found it hard to speak, uttering this here.
Everyone was horrified.
This was especially the case for those families from Immortal Domain. When they heard this, they all released strange expressions. This news was just too astonishing.
The little dog that was brazenly calling them human pets, in the end, it was true? Just what kind of background did it have?!
As for Wang Da and Immortal Wang's two servants, as well as Wang Tian, at this time, they were all stunned, their faces turning rigid, all of them becoming incomparably shocked.
Wang Family's people were stupefied. They thought that they could rely on Immortal Domain's families, yet in the end, they were suppressed by a little dog, becoming completely submissive. This really was just too terrifying.
This was especially when, from their words, they felt like something wasn't right. Hong Family's old ancestor was a true immortal level existence! He was actually this small dog's human pet?
Was there still any heavenly reasoning? The great families were immediately almost scared to death!
At the very least, the princes and young miss from the Nine Heavens Ten Earths were all stunned, their scalps turning numb, all of them not daring to show the slightest bit of disrespect. They had never felt as much fear as they did today.
When they thought about how not long ago, Wang Family's oldest grandson was still bossing others around, looking down on Cao Yusheng and this little dog, everyone felt a wave of speechlessness. They really were courting death!
Pa pa pa! In the end, the elder braced himself and stood up, starting to give that youngster a vicious beating, smacking him until his entire face swelled, kneeling on the ground.
Wang Da was completely stunned. He originally thought that he could depend on this Immortal Domain family's strength to threaten Shi Hao, suppress the enemy, yet in the end, the so-called allies directly… knelt down!
At this time, Shi Hao took action, dragging Wang Da over, examining him in front of everyone. He wanted to figure out the formation in his body, preparing to give Cao Yusheng a great gift.
Fatty Cao now looked like he was seven or eight years old, chubby and round, in daoist robes. With a sou sound, he rushed over to where Wang Tian was, starting to kick him with everything he had.
"Why aren't you acting out now? Weren't you walking all over others, sending out people to hunt me down? During all these years, using the title of Wang Family's eldest grandson, you searched all over the world to capture me… I'm going to kick the shit out of you!"
Fatty Cao was furious, beating Wang Tian until he almost didn't look like a human anymore.
Chi!
Wang Da's body shone. Shi Hao came into contact with the strange magical formation engraved in his body, making even his soul tremble.
"No, you can't do this!" He screamed hysterically, roaring out.
"It was personally arranged by my father, Immortal Wang! If you forcibly try to seize it, he will sense it!" Wang Da said. This was the first time he revealed an expression of fear, but he didn't forget to threaten the other party.
Shi Hao sneered, a palm smacking out, blasting his face until he coughed out a large mouthful of blood. At the same time, the formation radiance within his body erupted, the patterns becoming more and more clear.
"Great one, you should return with us to Immortal Domain, I believe… when our ancestor sees you, he will definitely be… very happy!" Hong Family's elder told this little dog.
"Happy my ass!" The elder knew that the old ancestor hated this dog to death, not wishing to see it again for the rest of eternity. If he truly brought this little dog back, the old ancestor might very well skin him alive!
The small dog was laughing, a bit fake, the corners of his lips about to reach its ears. It revealed a mouthful of snow-white little dog fangs, releasing a hollow laugh and saying, "There's no rush!"
In reality, it didn't dare go over, it was lacking in confidence. Right now, its cultivation was crippled, if that Immortal Domain human pet really knew, he might very well skin it alive.
However, the others didn't think this. They all wanted to report back to their families. The things that happened today were too crazy! A little dog had actually previously taken a true immortal as a human pet!
Even Immortal Domain's families felt like this little dog's origins were too heaven-defying, that they had to send news back!

Chapter 1821 - Great Virtue
Everyone felt that this world was too crazy. Even a little dog even dared to act high and mighty, becoming an existence they couldn't see through.
Hong Family, this was but a powerful true immortal family. This old clan master achieved immortality during Immortal Ancient times, his strength powerful. After accumulating for an entire great era's time, it was hard to imagine just how powerful he was now.
Yet now, something completely unexpected happened. He was a human pet? A dog was his master!
This… really was too shocking! It was as if heavenly thunder rumbled, hacking everyone until their minds were scorched, their exteriors tender. This was just too astonishing, or perhaps it could be called inconceivable.
The powerful being of a generation -- Hong Fa, actually had this type of dark history!
It really was hard to say whether this was a complicated situation, or if it was a blemish. It was just too unimaginable, leaving many people dumbstruck.
In that instant, all eyes gathered on the small dog's body at the same time, even Shi Hao who had previously displayed his power was temporarily overlooked by others. All of them were staring at the little dog.
Everyone's eyes were burning fiercely. Even though this fella's figure wasn't all that imposing, not a True Dragon, not an Immortal Phoenix, it had previously taken in a true immortal as a human pet!
"I do not know what we should call senior?" Someone made his way over, kneeling down and showing great respect.
After someone did this, the others all came over when they saw this, men and women included, old and young. It was as if they were looking at a rare animal, staring at this puppy, and then paying their respects.
Who knows, it might very well be a rare species!
"My name is Great Virtue. Only with ethics and talent can one attain the way, only by attaining the way can one achieve immortality, this is precisely why it is called attaining the dao to achieve immortality."
The little dog said with a serious expression, extremely solemn and dignified, speaking its name -- Great Virtue.
Cao Yusheng pinched his nose while he listened. The others were full of respect, but he was instead only irritated. He really had enough of this dog, really wanting to immediately find a pot to stew it.
He knew that this little dog was playing dumb, purposely putting on a dignified appearance.
"Senior, I must ask your distinguished self for guidance, are you willing to accept disciples?"
There were others who were even more direct, becoming impatient, directly asking this.
The others also came over with friendly intentions, coming to curry favor, but they all wanted to get a bit closer first. However, someone directly declared their intentions just like that, launching their 'assault'.
"I reside in Upper Heavens Mountain, close to Immemorial Immortal King. I sensed that there was a great disaster, and thus came down the mountain!" The little dog said seriously.
Everyone became stupefied, it was actually this serious? However, why did they feel like something wasn't quite right?
"Speak like a normal person please." Cao Yusheng said.
"Human pet, don't try to act cocky before me, or else I'll smack you straight to hell and you can self reflect for ten thousand generations!" The little dog threatened.
"This dao friend, please do not speak randomly."
"Senior speaks the truth, you cannot speak randomly!"
The others all criticized Cao Yusheng one after another, eager to get on the little dog's good side.
Cao Yusheng wanted to curse. These idiots were all completely fooled by this little dog! Who knew whether this would be a good or bad thing?
In reality, these people weren't idiots either, they all felt like this little dog was showing off a bit, but they also understood that its background was great, so they were all merely adapting to the situation.
Even Hong Family's old ancestor was this dog's human pet, just how strong was it then? If their relations with this dog were good, then there would be too many benefits!
Many people came with goals in mind, feeling that if they could curry favor with this little dog, then it would be the same as forming a powerful alliance with this family. It was something worth making the effort.
Hong Family's people were all kneeling there, daring to feel anger but not daring to voice anything. All of them could only obediently kneel there!
"Senior, is there anything you need? We are willing to serve as your running dogs and horses!" Someone began to butter it up.
However, the little dog immediately glared out. What running dogs or horses? Was this person speaking highly of it or cursing it?
That person immediately wanted to smack his own mouth, really choosing the wrong words. However, this was a dog to begin with, so what was even a good way to praise it?
This little black dog was still rather calm, not acting out. Moreover, he put on an act, saying, "This poor taoist has cultivated in seclusion for millions of years, left the world of mortals for countless generations, all I wish to do is experience the affairs of the secular world for a bit."
"Senior truly is a very able person!"
"Great Virtue senior's cultivation realm is something we cannot even look up to, cannot fathom."
A group of people said in praise and admiration, but there was a bit of truth to it. They indeed couldn't fathom the little dog's current cultivation, unable to see through it at all. They felt like what it said might be reasonable.
"I must ask senior to explain more for us, lecture on the dao. We are full of incomparable desire, willing to listen to great laws!" Many people asked.
They indeed wished to hear the great dao lectures of Hong Fa true immortal's master.
"For me, withdrawing from worldly affairs is already something of the lower cultivation realms, explaining scriptures too shallow. All laws and dao are contained within every word and action, contained within the hundred changes of the mortal world." The little dog said in a deep voice.
Cao Yusheng rolled his eyes at him, really wanting to shout out 'you really know how to act', but this time, he was warned by the stupid dog, thus not daring to speak out too much. Otherwise, he would likely have been bitten.
"I must ask senior to help us dispel some of our confusion, explain a step further!" Someone asked seriously.
"Wu, that is fine. Do you all have divine medicines on you?" The little dog asked.
Everyone felt a wave of hesitation, but in the end, there was still someone who brought out a stalk, placing it on the jade table. This was an inheritor from an Immortal Domain great family.
This was quite the big move, carrying a stalk of divine medicine on him, able to use it to preserve his life when needed!
Of course, the roots weren't there, left in the clan's medicinal garden.
"Who else has any?" The little dog asked.
"I do!"
Then, there were two others who stood out after some hesitation. Under the little dog's gesturing, they placed the divine medicines on the jade table.
Not far out, Cao Yusheng's eyes revealed a flash of lowly light. This time, he became quiet. Even without any warnings, he became obedient, playing his part, secretly looking forward to the results.
It was because he knew that this stupid dog was definitely not of the good sort, definitely not having good intentions!
"Who has a Nine Reincarnations Immortal Pill?" The little dog asked.
This time, everyone became speechless. All of them shook their heads. What kind of joke was this? Would they carry something like that randomly on them? That was but an unmatched precious pill refined from long life medicines!
This type of pill was extremely rare even in Immortal Domain, rarely seen.
However, this type of unmatched immortal pill, even eating a single one gave one the potential to ascend to immortality!
This was the most valuable precious pill from the past until now!
"If you don't, then forget it." The little dog shook its head in a bit of dissatisfaction.
Then, it reached out a little claw, picking up a stalk of divine medicine, starting to chew on it like a radish, directly eating it just like that.
"Senior" That youngster who produced that divine medicine almost jumped up. Even if he came from Immortal Domain, his family backing abundant, giving someone their divine medicine to be chewed like a radish really couldn't be endured. This was an utter spendthrift!
He originally thought that this little dog would use the divine medicine to derive the great dao, or perhaps explain some unmatched mysteries of fate or reasoning.
In the end, it was directly eaten just like that!
The other two who brought out divine medicines couldn't sit still, opening their mouths, about to seize it back, moreover reaching out their hands, but in the end, the little dog was even faster, two more 'radishes' obtained, chewing through them!
"Ah, this…" The faces of the three of them became green. They wanted to say something, even more so wanted to curse out, but they then swallowed it back down, not really daring.
"In my eyes, the so-called divine medicines and immortal herbs, are nothing more than ordinary food, the fruits of the mortal world. After remaining in seclusion for too long, I couldn't help but miss them a bit, wishing to give these medicines a taste." The little dog said.
It had a serious look on its face, but a pair of dog paws were slowly moving about, as if it was lazing about, this type of appearance extremely strange.
Everyone stared at this carefully, believing that there was some deeper meaning to this.
Only Cao Yusheng who knew its true nature inwardly spat out, turning his head to leave. He knew that this stupid dog was definitely messing around, leaving him furious. It actually didn't leave a stalk of divine medicine for him.
Shi Hao was also speechless. He beckoned Cao Yusheng over, helping him engrave a great formation diagram.
"Ah…" Someone screamed miserably, breaking the silence. Everyone turned around, looking in Shi Hao's direction.
Wang Da was screaming. The formation in his body was forcibly stripped by Shi Hao, and then engraved into Cao Yusheng's body.
This really was forceful. It was directly stripped, not imitating and carving it!
It was because Shi Hao was scared that he might make a mistake, thus, he just domineeringly seized the formation, using it to complete Cao Yusheng.
"When we obtain all nine corners of the formation, that will be when you rise up." Shi Hao said with a smile.
On the side, blood was flowing out from the corners of Wang Da's mouth, in incomparable pain. The process of having his part of the formation stripped was like having his bones pulled out, his entire body laying weak on the ground.
"Alright, we'll stop here today. I'll help clear up the dao for you all again next time." The little dog said.
Shi Hao didn't ask for Wang Da's life either. "I'll leave you with your life for now!"
It was because he still wanted the formations of the other members of the Wang Family. If he killed Wang Da like this, it was easy for there to be strange changes.
Dong!
Shi Hao pointed out, knocking Wang Da out, and then threw him into a spatial artifact, capturing him alive. It was because he wanted to see if he could seize the Chaos Calming Art from Wang Da.
With sou sou noises, the three figures disappeared from this place.
"Why are we running so fast?" Cao Yusheng was panting heavily. He couldn't keep up anymore, in the end directly picked up by Shi Hao.
"Why don't you use your brain before you speak? If we don't run faster, don't tell me you want those old enemies to catch us?!" The little dog said.
"Don't you have that human pet? He's a true immortal already, what is there to be scared of?!" Cao Yusheng asked.
"If you become a true immortal, would you still willingly become the human pet of another. If he knew that my cultivation disappeared, would he or would he not want to stew me alive?" The little dog asked.
"Of course he would!"
"Bark! I'm going to eat you first!"
…
Shi Hao now completely understood. This little dog had too many enemies, to the point where even it was lacking in confidence. After just appearing, it immediately ran.
Now, Immortal Domain's great army was here, it was scared that someone would hurry over.
Just how many people did he provoke? In the past, just what kind of evil did it commit?
"Where should we go now?" Cao Yusheng asked.
"We are going to the Nine Heavens above, to pay Jin Taijun as well as Wind Clan's old ancestor a visit." Shi Hao said.

Chapter 1822 - Descent of An Era Without Cultivation
Dong!
A great noise sounded from the void!
The entire world was shaking slightly, the boundless force of natural laws appearing. It was as if a giant was brandishing a world cleaving ax, forging a new universe here.
Everything became chaotic. The appearances of many experts in this world changed, feeling a deep chilliness, as well as a wave of powerlessness.
This came from outer space. An ancient world drifted over, getting closer and closer to the three thousand provinces. Soon, everything was going to connect together, the true merging was about to begin!
The world was chaotic. The Nine Heavens Ten Earths were combining, becoming one sooner or later.
In the distance, there was an ancient world surrounded by indistinct stars, releasing hazy radiance. Everything slowly got closer and closer. As it approached the three thousand provinces, endless lightning flashed between the two, terrifying natural laws surging.
Even though they were only approaching each other, not linking up, there was already this type of heaven and earth trembling.
Everyone began to feel worry. Once it made contact, connecting together, would large amounts of creatures of the two realms be destroyed?
This was perhaps a disaster, leaving everyone worried, making them feel fretful.
Honglong!
At the same time, the Nine Heavens had some 'heavens' that were getting closer and closer, about to return to becoming one land.
"It is even faster than what we imagined!" Someone said quietly.
Immortal Domain's people gathered in one place, starting to pull together, moreover no longer fighting the creatures of darkness. They were discussing among themselves, someone suggesting to immediately withdraw.
It was because in that instant, the essence energy of the world was declining!
After merging a bit, the Nine Heavens Ten Earths would become much more infertile. This was a rebound of the world, quickly entering an era without cultivation!
The so-called Nine Heavens Ten Earths returning to one world was only on the surface. The true nature was a Cultivationless Era, a true era without cultivation.
Within a certain place in the three thousand provinces, Shi Hao, Cao Yusheng, and the little dog stopped. They stared out quietly, sensing the changes of the great world.
"Terrible times have arrived. This king choosing to come into the world at this time really was bad timing." The little dog's expression became grave. This time, he definitely wasn't putting on airs.
"Any concrete ideas?" Cao Yusheng asked.
"An age without cultivation, backlash of heaven and earth. Apart from difficulty in advancing one's cultivation, the longevity of all creatures will also sharply decline. Old monsters who have lived for millions of years might start to fall!" The little dog said.
This was what it was worried over. Right now, it wasn't a true immortal, it couldn't live for an eternity, its lifespan had a limit. The effects of this were too great on it.
Moreover, even if it was a true immortal, they would still encounter danger during this cultivationless era's backlash. This was a dangerous situation!
According to what the little dog said, the Nine Heavens Ten Earths were already no longer suitable for experts to live in, there were going to be great changes.
"What is the most serious situation like? The experts of the world, what are their fates?" Shi Hao began to ask, his expression grave.
"Everyone's lifespans will greatly shorten, those over a million years in age might directly enter their later years, not having much time left to live!" The little dog said with a stern expression.
"And?"
"Even if it is supreme beings, as long as their age is great, their blood energy will dry up, unable to live for much longer."
"Then what about me?" Shi Hao asked.
"You are still quite fortunate, because you are young, yet already a supreme being level expert, you still have quite some time to live, likely able to live for ten thousand years." The little dog said.
Cao Yusheng sucked in a cold breath of air. Even after becoming a supreme being, they would still only have ten thousand years, this was terrifying. Compared to before, the drop was too great!
"No, perhaps there are only three or four thousand years left to live!" The little dog said.
"What?" Cao Yusheng almost jumped, becoming more scared the longer they talked. Even supreme beings only had this much time left, then what about others?
"Ordinary people won't feel much, their lifespans won't be greatly affected, the ones affected will mostly be cultivators. Otherwise, why would it be called a Cultivationless Era?" The little dog said.
"Has this happened before?" Shi Hao asked. If it happened before, then what was the result?
"It has. Cultivators died out, Immortal Domain affected, the losses not light." The little dog replied seriously. It was a bit nervous, really running into the worst age.
The entire world was becoming silent, no cultivators left under the heavens. This was going to be the most terrifying result.
"Will it affect the creatures of darkness?" Shi Hao asked.
"It is all the same. As long as they are cultivators, they will suffer from the world's backlash." The little dog nodded. This was, perhaps, the only piece of good news.
Right now, Shi Hao was standing on Fiend Island, looking at Immortal Tomb. There were still not many changes, his grandfather was still in front of the tomb, while A'man was seated on it.
Vaguely, the two seemed to have become one with this place, guarding it.
However, they never opened their eyes, not waking up. They didn't move at all, even though thirty years passed, there were still no changes to them at all.
Shi Hao just couldn't feel at ease. He rushed here, revealing a look of worry. Darkness matter was corroding this world, and then a cultivationless era was approaching, should he forcefully bring these two away?
"You cannot!" The little dog said. It immediately revealed a shocked expression, emotions surging intensely. For this little dog to have this type of reaction, it really was a first.
"This blasted place, it actually revived, the path here about to become usable. That person, that clan, when will they return?" It began to mutter.
"What do you know about this place?" Shi Hao asked. With this type of strange thing here, he naturally wanted to find out everything he could.
"I don't know what era that existence is from. During Immortal Ancient years, there was a disturbance here, some terrifying things that happened, but in the end, the owner wasn't able to return." The little dog said.
It spoke honestly, saying that it didn't even know that existence's true background, just how ancient it was.
That was perhaps an unmatched existence, or maybe an unmatched species. When it truly returned, it might be the start of this world's most miserable great era!
This wasn't just circulated in the present world, history's greatest showdown, a corner of it could be seen even back then. The next great era might be the start of a calamity, then, everything else was going to end!
"Everything is going to end, what does this mean?" Cao Yusheng was horrified, now truly becoming scared.
"It means that everything will be settled, nothing left." The little dog replied.
This reply made Cao Yusheng's scalp go numb. This… was too terrifying. In the end, the entire world was going to enter a deathly stillness, conclude like this?
"Will the creatures of darkness come here?" Shi Hao asked. This was his greatest worry.
"They won't, they are fearful of the one arriving through this path as well. Those who can participate in the great showdown are all the highest existences, not even the creatures of darkness dare rashly provoke them." The little dog said.
This made Shi Hao release a breath of relief. He was scared that his grandfather and A'man wouldn't be able to escape demonization because they had to stay here.
"These two have likely been chosen by the one who is arriving by this path, they should be able to obtain a share of the opportunity." The little dog said.
Several days later, two men and one dog appeared in the Nine Heavens above.
During this process, Wang Da was strictly questioned, but his mouth was shut tight, just not speaking. In reality, he didn't have any way of leaking out the Chaos Calming Art either.
That was a type of taboo. In the depths of his sea of consciousness, there were restrictions set. Once it touched upon the Chaos Calming Art's secrets, his primordial spirit would explode.
In reality, during the interrogation process, there was one time when he almost self-destructed, but Shi Hao forcefully suppressed it, and then he was further interrogated.
"The Chaos Calming Art…" Shi Hao released a light sigh, unable to forget it. This was the clan's greatest secret. Even Immortal Wang's oldest son Wang Da had restrictions placed in his head, rather having him die than leaking out the secret.
Even though he already grasped the Grass Symbol Sword Art, Shi Hao was still strongly attached to the Chaos Calming Art, really wishing to obtain it.
It was because he vaguely understood that the Chaos Calming Art was the most suitable for him!
Tempering his primordial spirit into a sword core, making it sturdy and unbreaking, this was something he longed for. An unmatched great method for tempering the spirit, this was definitely not just a joke.
"Immortal Wang has made a move, personally coming out of seclusion, searching the world for you." Cao Yusheng said quietly.
Ever since they arrived in the Nine Heavens, they immediately heard this news. Wang Da was captured, causing Immortal Wang to set out.
Jin Taijun and Wind Clans old ancestor also spoke out, denouncing these actions, supporting Wang Family. This was the news that began to circulate through the Nine Heavens.
Shi Hao licked his lips, feeling a bit battle hungry. He wanted to size up the strength of other supreme beings, longing for a fight.
"Wang Family, Jin Family, Wind Clan, which one of these have no one overseeing them? Or in other words, which one of them's supreme beings left, no longer remaining in their clans?" Shi Hao asked.
Even though he wanted to pay Jin Taijun a visit, if the other party didn't have a supreme being overseeing the clan, then he was even more willing to pay his respects.
He was quite interested in Jin Taijun's divine medicine garden, longing for Wang Family's scripture pavilion even more. He wanted to 'drop by', leave behind his own footprints.
Dong!
In the Nine Heavens, there were two 'heavens' that were linked together, now completely merging.
There was no great earthquake like what was expected, no countless deaths, only a ripple of great death that hacked at all cultivators, making many people release great cries.
Vaguely, everyone felt like they lost some things!
An age without cultivation, the backlash of heaven and earth, it had finally arrived.

Chapter 1823 - Death of Heaven's Mandate
An age without cultivation was starting to descend!
As the two 'heavens' linked up together, an indescribable blade hacked through everyone, causing many cultivators to cry out, their bodies couldn't help but tremble. It was as if they lost something.
What was this? Many people raised their heads towards the sky, but then, they looked at their own hands, touching their flesh. What exactly did they lose? They couldn't say for sure, but they just felt like there were some things that were now far from them.
"Death of heaven's mandate!"
The little dog said, its small face dark, expression terrifyingly grave. The small fangs of its mouth were bared, shining and sparkling. It was incredibly serious as it stared towards the sky.
"What does that mean?" Cao Yusheng was confused, starting to ask.
"The backlash of the world has begun, the heaven's mandate that has been bestowed upon all life has been reaped, cut through. It was just like I said before, everyone's lifespans would quickly decline. Soon, when the Nine Heavens Ten Earths completely become one, some creatures would directly die from great age!" The little dog said.
That day, all those who were cultivators sensed something, just that most of them didn't know what happened, not knowing what they lost.
Immortal Domain's people, their higher levels naturally knew what happened. Their expressions were all serious, discussing amongst themselves. Now, more and more people were insisting on withdrawing.
"The backlash is extremely terrifying. Once it touches upon the most critical moment, if my Immortal Domain's gates aren't shut, it will definitely become affected. The consequences of this aren't something anyone can bear!" An elder said.
"Go, we must immediately withdraw. There is no way of fighting the creatures of darkness anymore. I believe the higher levels are also going to withdraw, who dares stay here when the world is undergoing such great changes?" A middle-aged commander ordered, also partial towards staying far away from this place.
In the various parts of the great continent, half of it was occupied by darkness. Today, their mysterious leaders were also gathering together, discussing things, sure enough also showing signs of withdrawing their troops.
The rebound of the world, the arrival of an age without cultivation, this affected too much.
"I can feel it, a portion of my lifespan has been severed. I need to head into the source of darkness to recover. This truly is frightening!"
Some people spoke quietly, faint voices sounding from the darkness. It was extremely cold, and also extremely callous, not much emotional fluctuations involved.
Similarly, among Immortal Domain's cultivators, there were some who frowned, even individuals as powerful as them being affected.
"We need to be nourished by immortal dao, only then can it be compensated!" An elder said with a light sigh.
They sensed that the situation today was even more severe than they had imagined. They knew that the world was drying up, entering an age without cultivation, but they didn't think it would be as frightening as today.
What left them the most shocked was that as the world underwent intense changes, there was this sudden blade that hacked down on them, intangible, but it was brought down on all creatures!
This was the mandate of heaven, it couldn't be seen, yet it still truly existed, bestowed by the universe. Now, part of it had been reaped, or perhaps all of it was!
Shi Hao sat there. He was also silently examining his body's situation, not feeling any emotions. He calmed his mind, examining all of the changes that were taking place in his body.
The blade of the world wasn't something he could change. As a member of this heaven and earth, he couldn't escape it.
"Should we find a way to enter Immortal Domain?" Cao Yusheng said. They couldn't remain in this place anymore, encountering the worst age.
"Yes, we were indeed unlucky, coming here in the worst age. What is the most terrifying isn't the ultimate result, but rather this process, it will be difficult to escape being cut down." The little dog was also analyzing and examining everything, coming to this type of conclusion.
This was even more terrifying than an age without cultivation. When one personally experienced this type of transformation, what they had to endure was even more severe, even more terrifying.
"Immortal Domain is indeed a place where we can take shelter, but I will not go!" The little dog was extremely direct. Right now, that place was equivalent to a tiger's den, a dragon's pool.
It had offended too many people. Forget about others, just that so-called human pet -- Hong Family's old ancestor was already someone it couldn't handle. Once he discovered it, he would definitely want to skin it alive.
There was no need for doubt. At the true immortal domain, those people already had heaven reaching methods, not something the little dog could deal with anymore.
"Just how many bad things did you do?" Even Shi Hao couldn't help but ask. Could it be that it didn't even have a few friends?
"Sigh, all my friends are in this realm. I never swindle associates, friends, or relatives, so I could only cause trouble in Immortal Domain. In the end, all my friends on this side were killed, falling in Immortal Ancient's last phase, there is already nothing to hope for." The little dog sighed.
"Your clan doesn't have anyone else, or dao companions, something like that?" Cao Yusheng mocked it.
"I rose up from an uncultivated land, achieved unmatched results from an ordinary flesh body, reigning sovereign with Immortal Kings, coexisting with the world, these are things my clansmen could not attain. Dao companion… when I was in Immortal Domain, back then, there was one who caught my eye, but we had a falling out, unable to seize her. Instead, she wanted to take me as a war pet, and thus, even fought with Without End Immortal King. If I appear now, if she were to find out…" When the little dog spoke up to here, it shrunk its neck, not daring to saying any more.
Cao Yusheng stared blankly for a long time, and only afterwards did he say, "You really are a dog threatening based on its master's power! You couldn't forcefully seize that ordinary woman, suffering retribution."
"Bark! Do you even know how to speak properly?!" The little dog bared its fangs, barking out, throwing itself over. Even though it was only the size of a palm, it directly pressed itself onto Cao Yusheng, stepping on his face, baring its fangs.
"Am I not speaking the truth?"
"Truth my ass! That's a heavenly talent, immortal domain's exceptional expert, is that some ordinary woman? I was challenging authority, not submitting to force!" The little dog said self-righteously.
In the Nine Heavens above, it wasn't calm at all. All of the clans were panicking. An age without cultivation was coming, who wouldn't be shocked?
Right now, even long life families were running, withdrawing, wishing to enter Immortal Domain and escape this disaster. This was not a place they could stay in.
In order to achieve this, they didn't hesitate to pay any price, trying their best to curry favor with some great powers in Immortal Domain.
For example, there were some long life inheritances that married their sect's holy ladies to the young disciples of a true immortal family, no longer tending to their clans' past requirements of their holy ladies to be incorruptible, cannot be married off to anyone.
At the same time, their requirements of the true immortal clan's young disciple wasn't that high either, it's fine even if they weren't of the direct line of descent, fine as long as they could enter Immortal Domain through this sect.
Shi Hao's first target was Jin Family. After wandering about this place for two or three days, he already understood some circumstances.
Jin Family was currently trying to get close to the original family in Immortal Domain, but the results were far from reassuring. Previously, there were some clues, but recently, the connection was broken again.
Now, they had hopes of using the clan's ancient scriptures as the primer, use this to exchange for some benefits from Immortal Domain.
Apart from this, they also tried to contact the creatures of darkness, making preparations all around.
"Jin Taijun, that old thing has come out!"
Shi Hao had long restrained his aura. A streak of light flashed past his eyes.
After a few days, he finally sensed that Jin Taijun was moving, about to leave Jin Clan.
Previously, he had still thought that she would have left long ago, but in the end, he found that she still remained in the clan.
Fortunately, they didn't act rashly, not barging straight in, or else if Jin Taijun personally operated the clan's exceptional formations, there might be great danger.
A carriage rushed out from Jin Family, moving slowly, carrying wisps of chaotic energy. It was extremely hazy and indistinct. Nine Luan Birds pulled the carriage, their appearances like phoenixes, incredibly divine and heroic.
The carriage was cast from bronze gold, carrying a feeling of passed history, great changes. This was a powerful precious emperor's carriage that had experienced archaic great battles!
Apart from this, the nine Luan Birds were also extremely strong, their feathers carrying metallic radiance, powerful, chilly, and intimidating.
When a supreme being set out, there would be a great display of extravagance!
One could see that even cultivators of the Self Release Realm were trembling in fear, not even individuals as powerful as them could handle the pressure of a supreme being, kneeling down.
As for the others, there was even less of a need to talk about them, all of them laying weak on the ground.
These were the people seeing her off, their expressions incomparably serious, respectfully sending Jin Taijun's carriage into the distance.
Shi Hao was in awe. There were no weak members among supreme beings after all, all of them people who crawled through a sea of blood, a mountain of corpses, ultimately achieving the dao. They were all outstanding figures among men, the very best since the archaic times.
"Will we be able to break through their formations?" Shi Hao asked the little dog.
"It is a bit tricky, this formation carries immortal dao aura. Even though it isn't complete, much of my primordial spirit has scattered, now only retaining a portion of my past memories. If we forcefully try to break through the formation, the dangers are extremely great." The little dog replied.
This was their previous plan, to charge in once the supreme being left, completely loot their divine medicine garden.
However now, there was trouble. Jin Family's formation was more formidable than they had anticipated!
Shi Hao's eyes erupted with divine radiance. "If we can't, then we'll just charge straight in. I'll intercept Jin Taijun, drag her back here!"
This clan, Feng Clan, and others have all come into contact with the creatures of darkness, this was what Shi Hao secretly learned, so he didn't feel any guilt in doing this.
"We can give it a try!" The little dog actually agreed, having other bad intentions.

Chapter 1824 - Intercepting a Supreme Being
The carriage headed forward, primal chaos swirling about. This was the war chariot of a supreme being, carrying Jin Taijun as it set out. Nine Luan Birds pulled the carriage, an extremely great show of extravagance!
Along the way, when creatures of different clans saw this, all of them showed great acts of respect. Many people knelt down, their expressions full of panic, bodies shaking in fear.
It was because Jin Taijun seemed to be absent-minded, thinking about some matters, which was why her supreme being aura leaked out, making the experts along the way shudder all over.
In the Nine Heavens above, this was an extreme expert that couldn't be challenged.
With just a thought from a supreme being, a Self Release Expert could be killed, all life ended. This level was already high up above, not something others could compare to.
Of course, this was still in the Mortal Dao Domain, not approaching True Immortal Realm, a level that represented breaking through all disasters, completely achieving long life.
Jin Taijun was hesitating, wondering just what she should do. Should she sell out some great interests to enter Immortal Domain, or should she just fully jump ship with the darkness, entering that dark world?
Jin Family came from Immortal Domain, they had a foundation there. However, after endless years passed, the blue sea turned into mulberry fields. Their original family already migrated; things remained the same, but people have changed.
Immortal Domain was extremely large and vast. There were some regions not even immortal kings could explore.
Jin Family's original family seemed to be avoiding a disaster of war, fleeing into a place others weren't willing to step foot in.
"There were some clues, but why did the trail suddenly turn cold after we came into contact?" Jin Taijun was inwardly vexed.
If she had a choice, she wasn't willing to step into the world of darkness, because a single mistake, and she wouldn't be herself anymore, become corroded by darkness.
This was despite the other side's continuous reassurance that the world of darkness had methods, had the ability to ensure that Jin Family's people would retain their memories of this world, that they could undergo a darkness rebirth.
If this really could be achieved, then the benefits would be tremendous! Not only could they continue living, they would still be themselves, moreover carry out a darkness evolution, their cultivation levels becoming higher than before, advancing greatly!
This was extremely enticing, but she still felt endless misgivings, fearing that the other side was tricking her.
Right now, she wanted to head to a certain land, meet the people from a certain Immortal Domain true immortal family. Then, she would personally meet the darkness creatures on the way back!
She was playing with fire. Jin Family was playing with fire.
Shi Hao followed them from the distance, waiting for a chance.
He was quite curious. The supreme being aura that came out from that carriage was extremely unstable, rising and falling. This was not normal! Could it be that Jin Taijun's emotions were unstable, that she was absent-minded?
"I am preparing to take action, this is a rare opportunity!" Shi Hao said.
The little dog's entire body shone. Even though a large portion of its cultivation had been severed, it was still not something ordinary creatures could compare with. It protected Cao Yusheng, withdrawing into the distance.
Shi Hao took a deep breath. Then, he silently drew the Everlasting Sword Core. In the end, a streak of immortal radiance was drawn out, one sword heading west, man and blade becoming one, entering the sky dome, stabbing towards the emperor carriage.
It really was just too fast, impossible for one to react in time!
For the sake of displaying this attack, he didn't hold back at all. True Phoenix wings, Kun Peng wings, lightning wings, all of it appeared, merging together, crossing countless li with just a single movement.
Shi Hao stabbed towards the sky dome, entering the carriage!
This war chariot was extremely sturdy and extraordinary, a powerful defensive magical artifact. Right now, radiance erupted, symbols covering everything, exceptionally brilliant.
However, the Everlasting Sword Core was extraordinary, the materials special. After Shi Hao supported it, its power became astonishing.
This was especially the case when what he used right now was the Grass Symbol Sword Art. Sword energy split the heavens, gushing out from the Everlasting Sword Core. The sword intent was unimaginable, just too terrifying.
Ka!
The carriage immediately exploded, crushed on the spot. A sword cut through the air, divine radiance appearing in endless streaks, chaotic energy surging. This sword's power was too great, cutting through everything.
Jin Taijun was startled. When killing intent attacked from the rear, she quickly made a reaction, not turning around, but instead shifting sideways, moreover flying forward.
As she evaded, heaven and earth collapsed. This was the result of her supreme being physique, crushing all things, this alone enough to prove just how powerful creatures of this cultivation realm were.
However, how could Shi Hao be that easy to avoid? He carried the intent to kill, his magical force activated to its fullest, his dao skills all operated to the extreme.
Sword energy surged, Grass Symbol Sword Art erupting, sweeping through the world. Boundless sword intent surrounded the sky dome, killing intent radiance hiding the sky and covering the earth, ever-present, impossible to escape from.
However, rarely did supreme beings die from surprise attacks in this world. Their divine awareness was sharp. Jin Taijun retaliated crazily, doing everything she could to evade and resist.
Pu pu pu!
During this process, the nine Luan Birds exploded one after the other. Even though their cultivation levels were quite high, personally experiencing Jin Taijun's baptism, it still wasn't enough.
In a battle between supreme beings, creatures of other cultivation levels couldn't retaliate at all. They would immediately explode, turn into bloody mist, body and spirit wiped out.
This was not a battle of the same order of magnitude at all.
In reality, there were no other creatures nearby. Jin Taijun's escorts and servants, all of them turned into dust under this type of domain, no way they could survive. This place was completely cleaned out!
Jin Taijun's mind was shaking. In the Nine Heavens, who dared take action against her, who could take action against her?
She immediately realized that news of Jin Family coming into contact with the creatures of darkness might have leaked out, that Immortal Domain might have sent people to assassinate her. Otherwise, why would it be like this?
Or perhaps it was the creatures of darkness who realized that she might have cast her lots with Immortal Domain again, and that was why they sent out an expert to teach her a lesson?
Pu!
Jin Taijun's back was dyed in blood, pierced through by a streak of sword radiance, becoming injured. From start until now, she was always in an extremely passive situation, unable to turn around at all.
The main thing was that she thought too much, overly suspicious of everyone, causing her to be distracted, unable to display exceptional fighting strength.
Chi!
She remained extremely cautious, not fighting to the death. She actually turned into a streak of divine light, about to escape.
Hong!
Shi Hao displayed his might, activating a great method. He used the true Eight Nine Heavens Art, the unmatched great method of the Chaos Demonic Ape bloodline, attacking with world-shocking berserk force.
When Shi Hao's fist smashed outwards, heaven and earth erupted, this entire void becoming crushed, exploding. Primal chaos surged, as if a whole world was being established.
This was the most powerful attack Shi Hao released. His spiritual energy rose to deal with this situation.
With apengsound, Jin Taijun released a miserable scream, her body flying out, a small half exploding. It was extremely bloody, her figure immediately crashing into the limits of the horizon.
It was just too easy. Shi Hao was shocked. The other person actually didn't turn around to fight, completely focused on running.
The older one became, the smaller their courage. This Jin Taijun actually escaped.
Honglong!Shi Hao gave chase, gathering endless divine might, chasing after her. If others saw this, they would definitely be shocked. He was actually chasing down a supreme being!
Jin Taijun had already been well-known for too long. Even though her age was great, body declining, she was still not something others could compare to. Her magical force was vigorous, fighting strength exceptional.
With asounoise, Jin Taijun's figure vanished, entering the void.
"Go, hurry and head to Jin Family. It is likely the clan's receiving great formation that has displayed its use, dragging her back. She really is fearful of death!" The little dog said.
Shi Hao didn't say anything, bringing the little dog and Cao Yusheng with him, quickly leaving.
Jin Family had a great formation that protected the clan. This formation had another use, which was that it could guide Jin Taijun back from other regions.
With aputongnoise, Jin Taijun fell on the ground, entire body covered in blood, half of it ruined, truly leaving everyone from Jin Family horrified. The old ancestor was actually like this, injured to this state.
In almost an instant, Shi Hao and the others hurried over.
It was because the emperor carriage had just brought Jin Taijun away, not leaving the Nine Heavens yet. With Shi Hao's supreme being speed, he could naturally hurry over with extreme speed.
"Wu, I've gained some insights. Charge inside and follow her, add chaos to her panic, this way, I can fully understand this formation." The little dog said.
Shi Hao didn't say anything else. He condensed the sword art, displaying unmatched sword intent, directly slaughtering his way over. Who could stop him?
Even if it was a long life family, they couldn't do it anymore now. Unless they activated the clan protecting great formation, or if Jin Taijun personally took action, no one else could stop Shi Hao's advance.
Pu!
When a Self Release Realm expert's head flew, body and spirit started to explode, everyone played their part, falling weakly onto the ground, shaking all over.
Shi Hao charged into the formation, heading straight for Jin Taijun.
"Colluding with the creatures of darkness, do you understand your sins?!" Shi Hao roared.
Jin Taijun who had just fled back panicked even more, rushing inside, wishing to reach the center of the formation and control it, stay as far away from the terrifying assassin behind her as possible.
Shi Hao's words were extremely effective. Jin Taijun was completely exposed, becoming flustered.
"Her gait is exposing the secrets, I understand part of this formation's secrets!" The little dog said. It stared at the path she took, all the while giving pointers to Shi Hao for how he should proceed.
In the past, Jin Taijun was high up above, looking down on the Little Stone. If not for Great Elder's protection, he would have long been crushed under her finger.
Despite this being the case, in the end, it was still under Jin Taijun's urge that Shi Hao was sent out of Imperial Pass, handed over to the other side. He experienced endless dangers, almost dying in the other side.
Back then, for the sake of getting rid of Shi Hao, she didn't hesitate to give up her supreme being dignity, doing this type of thing.
She never would have thought that this youngster would rise up so quickly, now charging into Jin Family with a sword in hand, coming to kill her.
This matter was definitely going to shake up the Nine Heavens, the great long life families were all going to shiver in fear!

Chapter 1825 - Plundering Jin Family
A supreme being slaughtered his way over, charging into Jin Family, this was truly shocking. The entire Nine Heavens was going to be shaken up because of this!
Jin Taijun achieved the dao before the archaic times, extremely well-known, yet she was being chased down, her hair completely disheveled, entire body covered in blood, in a sorry state as she fled for her life.
She really was losing her head, believing that news of her collusion with the creatures of darkness had been exposed, now unable to tend to anything else, heading straight for the family's deepest parts to preserve her own life.
Along the way, no one stopped them, because under the release of supreme being auras, everyone was shivering in fear, kneeling on the ground, unable to raise their heads.
There were some people who forcefully got up to resist, but in the end, their bodies cracked apart, then completely exploded, body and spirits erased.
Cao Yusheng saw this clearly, all of his fine hairs standing on end. This was the first time he realized just how terrifying supreme beings were. Right now, the distance between himself and his old friend was just too great. Even if Shi Hao didn't take action, the aura he released was enough to crush everything!
The reason why Cao Yusheng was completely unaffected was still mainly because of that little dog's protection.
Along the way, essence energy surged, strange rocks were arranged all around.
"Collect!" Shi Hao saw a palace, the inside full of stones, some of them releasing divine multicolored light, some flowing with chaotic energy, all of them extremely special.
"They are all rare treasures, within them Primal Chaos Stone pieces, World Stone fragments, and others!" The little dog said, already about to drool.
These were all things that, regardless of whether it was the refining of armors and weapons, or even arranging formations, were core materials. Just the World Stone fragments alone were enough to move even true immortals' hearts.
Normally, if one wanted to come here, it was just too hard. This was already Jin Family's important place, protected by great formations. However, now, because Jin Taijun really was losing her head, fleeing frantically, it was basically the same as showing outsiders the way in.
Medicine garden?
Up ahead, there was a rich fragrance, an orchard appearing, all of them divine fruit trees. There were glistening golden peaches, bright red vermilion fruits, sparkling purple qilin fruits.
This orchard was not simple, having some half divine fruits. In the outside world, they were all shockingly precious medicinal fruits.
There was nothing left to say. With a bark, the little dog pounced out, immediately feasting on some fruits.
This type of half divine trees were definitely not high yielding types, every single tree only having a few fruits.
When Cao Yusheng saw this, he immediately threw them into his mouth as well, fighting over them.
Shi Hao was extremely fierce, uprooting this entire orchard and collecting it into a spatial magical artifact. It was because this type of trees couldn't be nurtured without proper earth.
He pulled everything up just like that, basically looting Jin Family's backing.
Long life families were powerful because of all different aspects, they had all types of accumulation. These divine fruit trees were naturally one part of it.
"Where is the divine medicine garden?" The little dog was looking around, Shi Hao was also searching, because this was what he truly wanted. Even in Immortal Domain, they could still be considered rare great medicines.
Jin Family's people were simply about to cry. They understood clearly what was going on, these were simply bandits! They seized whatever they saw along the way, cleaning them out.
It was to the extent where they didn't even let palaces go, just pulling them straight up.
However, what could they do? They were powerless to stop this. All of them were kneeling on the ground, their bodies trembling, not even daring to raise their heads. They weren't even able to see what these robbers looked like.
"Hateful, this palace is made from jade, but it's actually just… a bathroom! Even long life families need these types of things?!" Cao Yusheng swore, almost directly erupting into curses.
He fought with the little dog, at the same time, copying Shi Hao, also collecting everything he saw, uprooting even the palaces. In the end, he never expected this white jade building to be a restroom.
Shi Hao was speechless, really not knowing what to say.
"That's something prepared for little kids!" The little dog bared its fangs, revealing a look of disdain.
In the distance, those people kneeling on the ground really were crying. Just where did these robbers come from, not even letting their bathrooms go. What was even going to remain afterwards?
They had a feeling that wherever these robbers passed, everything would be completely looted, not even leaving anything behind!
After all these years, it was always Jin Family that acted powerfully. Which clan wouldn't bow down wherever they passed? If they saw a treasure they liked in another clan, soon afterwards, it would be offered up respectfully.
Yet today, they became victims. A supreme being came to attack, clearly just to loot them, plunder everything in their clan.
The most terrifying thing was that their clan's pillar -- Jin Taijun, was actually fleeing, not resisting this person, her body covered in blood. This made all of Jin Family's clansmen's hearts go cold.
Hong!
The earth shook greatly, because there were some palaces that had formations, triggering great disorder. However, these formations weren't clan protecting great formations, so they couldn't do much to supreme being level experts.
"Jin Taijun, where do you think you are going? After colluding with the creatures of darkness, I represent Immortal Domain in capturing and killing you." Shi Hao shouted from the back.
While charging forward, he entered the very depths of Jin Family.
"
Yi,
it's a stalk of divine medicine!"
This was a restricted area. There were low mountains with rising purple energy, ancient caves where white mist was pervading the air, as well as some palaces; it was like a wonderland.
They saw a stalk of medicine that rushed into the ground with a
sou
sound, escaping.
"Collect!"
However, this area was sealed. Even though the divine medicine's escape techniques were astonishing, it still couldn't leave this region. With a wave of Shi Hao's hand, it was forcibly pulled out of the earth.
This was a divine level old ginseng, faint golden in color, sparkling and brilliant. It was like a small sun in his hand, illuminating an expanse in the void.
Its roots were thick, half a person in height, making one feel like they were looking at an elder.
"Even though this thing looks fragrant and sweet, I'm a bit unwilling to just eat it." Cao Yusheng smacked his lips.
The little dog rushed over, its skin thick, saying extremely shamelessly, "Let me take a look. It's probably just a big radish, right?"
It had a harmless look on its face, but it suddenly revealed a mouthful of snow-white fangs, throwing itself over, wishing to fight over it, yet it was then directly pushed to the side by the already prepared Shi Hao.
This medicine definitely couldn't be eaten directly, but in the future, they could extract some juices, use it to refine medicine.
This was a great harvest. Was this Jin Family's divine medicine garden?
"The divine medicines are all scattered about, it seems like even Jin Family only has a few stalks, this courtyard only has a single old ginseng!" Shi Hao suspected.
Right now, Jin Taijun's eyes were deep and cold. She now recovered a bit from her daze, realizing that she was too flustered, actually guiding her enemy in how to break the formation, provoking a huge disaster.
"Go to hell!" She released a shout, suddenly stopping, activating the formation, wishing to use this to refine away Shi Hao and the others.
Hong!
They've already gone this far. Shi Hao rushed forward fiercely, slaughtering his way over. Under the help of the little dog, the formation was continuously suppressed, allowing them to get close.
"Kill!"
It was extremely intense. In the blink of an eye, Shi Hao used the Grass Symbol Sword Art, hacking out with countless streaks of sword energy, submerging the heavens!
Jin Taijun was endlessly bewildered. This person's sword art was too powerful! Could it be that he really came from Immortal Domain? It was because now, in the Nine Heavens, no one grasped this type of sword art.
Moreover, the Nine Heavens' supreme beings were limited. If anyone took action against her, she would be able to immediately recognize them.
A wave of coldness rose within her. The matters of Wang Da being captured had been heard by her. Was it this person who now came after her? Just what kind of background did he have?
Chi!
That day, the clans of the Nine Heavens were all shocked, because they saw sword energy shaking the heavens where Jin Family was. It was too horrifying, piercing through the sky dome, hacking down many great stars!
Pu.
Jin Taijun found it hard to calm down, thinking about too many things, and as a result had her body pierced by a streak of scarlet multicolored light from Shi Hao.
"What?" She shivered inwardly. Why was there one streak of sword energy among these that was special, impossible to defend against? It pierced through her palm and fingers, into her body, delivering a serious injury.
This was a streak of light that Shi Hao obtained from heavenly tribulation, something that came with the lightning pool. It was the streak of essence that remained from the Immortal Killing Guillotine, seized by him.
This thing was extremely terrifying!
"
Ah…
" Jin Taijun released a low roar, her head of hair flying about in chaos. Her entire body's aura surged, now truly angered. Now that they were going all out, her power was displayed.
The main thing was that she was standing at the center of Jin Family, grasping an extremely great formation.
Chi chi chi!
Streak after streak of immortal energy surged, carrying a terrifying aura. This was the ruined formation of an immortal.
"Break!"
The little dog shouted. It activated many formation banners, wishing to break down this formation.
Kill!
Shi Hao released a great roar. He was like a demon king, his head of hair flying about chaotically. He used the Chaos Demonic Ape bloodline's extreme art, his magical projection surging, filling the world.
He towered into the clouds, able to grab the moon with a raise of his hand. Behind him, a violent ape could vaguely be made out, omnipotent, about to destroy the universe.
His large hand grabbed outwards, wishing to flatten Jin Family's ancient land!
"Something doesn't seem quite right. This formation has a ruined spirit, like the vessel spirit of a weapon, it has something similar!" The little dog shouted.
This was what Jin Family relied on. Once the great formation revived and the ruined spirit supported it, it would be extremely terrifying.
"I can only stall for a bit, buy us enough time to escape." The little dog shouted.
Hu!
Great winds roared. Shi Hao slaughtered his way over, his giant palm crushing countless places in Jin Family's ancient land, making rubble rush into the heavens. The great palaces all collapsed.
This was still the result of being protected by formations, or else they would definitely all turn to ashes.
This place was different after all, a ring able to hold a mountain. The limited ancient land actually became as boundless as the heavens, able to hold Shi Hao's magical projection, this place becoming increasingly spacious.
It was as if they arrived at an ancient battlefield!
This was the result of JIn Family's great formation displaying its use.
Shi Hao walked forward, attacking fiercely. With a
honglong
noise, he displayed the Six Dao Reincarnations Heavenly Art. In that instant, there really were six dao that circulated, magical force matchless.
Previously, half of Jin Taijun's body was already gone, losing too much supreme being blood. She was seriously injured from the start of the battle, so now, she found it harder and harder to keep up.
With a
pu
sound, she coughed out large mouthfuls of blood while resisting.
Shi Hao displayed the Six Dao Reincarnations Heavenly Art. It was as if a crazy wind swept past. Jin Taijun's head actually flew out, her body crushed by the Six Dao Reincarnations Heavenly Art.
"Did you succeed?" Cao Yusheng was excited.
"Hurry and leave!" The little dog shouted. They were at a critical point, if they still didn't go, then the formation supported by the ruined spirit would completely submerge them, forever burying them here.
