Chapter 1517 - All of You Are Too Weak
Under a single roar, heaven and earth capsized, the world collapsed!
This ancient beast revived, releasing a beast roar. It was different from the past, this time, the sound wave really was too terrifying, completely purging Heavenly Beast Forest!
The area in front of the mountain looked like it had been plowed. Moreover, this wasn’t just a normal type of ravine, but rather a complete destruction of the mountain region. The Heavenly Beast Forest in front stretched for who knew how many tens of thousands of li, but it was completely obliterated.
The plant life withered, turned into ashes, tens of thousands of zhang tall mountains became sand. After the wave passed, they were swept away just like smoke.
The originally luxuriant ancient forest was now a desolate land, the rich greenery no longer existing.
The hundred thousand great mountains all collapsed, not a single one remaining, the surface completely bare.
If anyone came here and saw this scene, they wouldn’t think that ancient trees previously towered into the heavens, this land lush with greenery, that it was a boundless ancient forest.
On the ground, great cracks extended one after another, pitch-black and incomparably thick, their width of all varying sizes, some reaching several dozen zhang. They were everywhere, terrifying beyond compare.
This was the case for millions of li. This place which used to be known as a boundless ancient forest, in this direction, was completely destroyed.
Over half of the ancient land became ruined earth.
This wasn’t the most terrifying part. Wherever the sound waves passed, in that direction, the earth caved in, becoming depressions, rift valleys. One could clearly see a scarlet red expanse.
Magma surged, in the end filling those deep valleys and earth pits, becoming red seas!
A sea of lava appeared, incomparably blazing hot, changing Heavenly Beast Forest greatly. It was now entirely different, impossible to recognize from its past.
Moreover, in the sky, there were stars that fell. They fell into the red magma, stirring up heaven overflowing waves that reached into the skies!
This type of scene was completely like the end of the world. All life ended, vitality in this world cut short.
Moreover, as primal chaos mist spread, surrounding this region, when the stars fell, stirring up heaven reaching red light, it began to appear a bit hazy and indistinct.
This made things seem even more terrifying!
“What happened?” Outside Heavenly Beast Forest, cries of alarm sounded.
There was a great army overlooking this region. They could sense intense energy fluctuations, and then they saw falling stars move through the sky. The mountain forest ahead was filled with a blazing red light!
“This is like the end of the world! Was this done by that legendary ancient beast?” A cultivator at the consummate level of Self Release Realm stood on a large boulder, watching this scene with shock.
There was still more than ten thousand li of forest left that didn’t become scorched earth, could be said to be a final ‘isolated zone’ left behind.
However, they could sense that beast roar. It was just too alarming, making their souls unsteady. Many people’s cultivations almost dropped a great realm.
“If not for Heavenly Beast Forest having an ancient immortal formation protecting it, supporting this forest, perhaps even we would be in danger!” Someone said.
The final area of isolation was precisely the area where that ancient great formation was sturdiest. If this area collapsed, then the vast outside world would most likely suffer a great disaster.
On the peak of the stone mountain, Reincarnation Pool.
Not long ago, waves reached into the heavens, divine liquid surging, shining resplendently. Huge waves overflowed, scattering into the mountain region.
Right now, all of the liquid flowed from the mountain region in reverse, returning to the ancient pool.
The lake wasn’t calm. Even though the beast roar ended, it still continued to surge.
At the lake bottom, Shi Hao was shocked. He long thought of this possibility, but he was still greatly shaken.
As for the golden lion, it even more so trembled in fear. This wasn’t only a repressed feeling from a spiritual level, the main reason was that there really was a wave of divine might pressing down that couldn’t be withstood.
The golden lion had previously exploded to pieces at the bottom of the lake. However, it received the ancient monk’s inheritance, so after it experienced the divine liquid’s baptism here, acquiring its divinity, it made it through alive.
As for Shi Hao, he really was playing with fire and getting burnt!
Even though he hid at the lake bottom, his body still almost exploded. That power was too berserk. When the ancient beast roared, the power was matchless and tyrannical, just too powerful.
In that instant, he thought he was finished.
However, what he anticipated finally happened, protecting the lake bottom.
This was the ancient monk bloodline’s burial land, the possessions of senior monks emptied here generation after generation, even more so having immortal monk skeletons and other things. They were all buried here, forming an unimaginable land of reincarnation!
At the most crucial point, many dried-up bones at the lake bottom moved, quickly piecing together, turning into a human skeleton again. It sat there, chanting scriptures.
They protected the lake bottom. When the destructive energy rushed over, under the lead of the golden skeleton, a group of ancient monk bones shone, stopping the world destroying aura, protecting this place.
Otherwise, Shi Hao’s body and spirit would definitely be wiped out.
This was something that he expected, but it really was beyond dangerous.
He knew a long time ago that this place was extraordinary, because the meaning of the words Reincarnation Pool was too great, there was no way it would randomly have this type of name.
This was especially the case for the ancient monk bloodline, previously producing an immortal king, how could it be ordinary? Who knows, it might precisely be that monk king’s methods that were used here.
At the same time, Shi Hao saw that there were two monuments in the stone mountain region, on one of them engraved the words ‘Number Two Under Heaven’, the other had the words ‘Reincarnation Pool’.
He felt that the two definitely had some type of connection. Perhaps the reason why the ancient beast was locked up here was because of the ancient monks.
Perhaps it was to help it treat its injuries, perhaps it really was to imprison it!
From this perspective, the Reincarnation Pool shouldn’t be weaker than Number Two Under Heaven.
That was why Shi Hao went for the gamble!
If he didn’t go for this gamble, he would forever be trapped within the Reincarnation Pool, and an unending stream of foreign experts would appear, in the end, there would be no way of dealing with him, so he might as well take the initiative to attack.
This time, he won the bet. It could be said that the other side suffered disastrous losses in one go, unknown just how many experts died.
At the very least, from what he knew, there were at least seventy to eighty great cultivators who died, and there were those he didn’t notice along with those who were hiding in the forest, so it was likely even more.
“Gu Clan and Emperor Clan’s young great one never ascended the stone mountain, I wonder if they were still in this region. Did they die?” Shi Hao said to himself.
At his side, the golden lion was stupefied. Before, it was shivering in fear, now, it was as quiet as a dead tree. This was a tremendous change of mental state, from a huge drop in expectations, to dejectedness, even a feeling of every hope turning to dust.
The things it experienced today made its expression extremely complicated, creating a huge shadow over it, one that would be impossible to get rid of its entire life.
“I am a sinner!” The golden lion roared, blaming itself, inwardly full of remorse.
When Shi Hao heard this, he immediately glared over. He raised his hand, directly slapping its face, loud and clear, sending lake water flying.
“You dare?!” The golden lion glared, the hair on its mane thick, extremely long, about to reach the lion’s claws, making it look extremely ferocious.
Right now, it suddenly suffered a slap to the face, immediately making it absent-minded, forgetting its previous status as a captive. Meanwhile, in the past, who dared touch it? It was a true Lion King.
“Your race betrayed the Nine Heavens, killed so many of our ancient people, yet you didn’t feel any guilt. Now that I killed some indiscriminate murderers, you instead feel grieved?!” Shi Hao’s expression became colder and colder.
“The one I am hitting is you, and it isn’t finished yet!” Shi Hao gave it another slap, the noise even louder, striking the lion until it directly spun in place, planting straight into the ground.
Peng!
Moreover, Shi Hao’s foot stepped down, making even its head split open, blood dripping out, mixing together with the lake water that swept over.
“After killing so many of the ancient people, you all didn’t feel any remorse, yet now that a few bastards died, you actually feel grief! I’m going to beat the shit out of you!” Shi Hao continuously stepped on it.
The pitiful golden lion almost broke apart again.
Shi Hao looked up. There was some light, as well as some broken limbs and bodies. He didn’t immediately go up, instead waiting, scared that the ancient beast would roar again.
He noticed that after the ancient beast was woken up, the sound waves it released exceeded that of a few days ago. It was too ferocious. A single bit of carelessness and he would be bringing a great disaster onto himself.
The main reason was because he felt like that ancient True Dragon’s consciousness wasn’t clear, possibly still in a muddle-headed state. Otherwise, it wouldn’t roar out like this.
While under this type of situation, it was extremely dangerous!
If the ancient beast’s mind was still clear, remembering that it is a member of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, it would come help him. This was what Shi Hao thought, which was why right now, he couldn’t hope for the other side to consciously help him.
“Say, you all are really too weak. We just began, yet more than half of you are done for. Come on, all of you better persist on for me!” Shi Hao raised his head, shouting upwards.
These were some ruined bodies, as well as some lumps of light after primordial spirits broke apart. They all shook intensely, truly angered badly. Things were already like this, yet that brat was still mocking them like this. It really was shameful and hateful!
Not long ago, when they first fell into the lake, Shi Hao already rushed up, preparing to capture and slaughter them. However, when that special True Dragon roared out, the power was far greater than he imagined, so he had no choice but to rush back to the lake bottom to avoid it.
Those Self Release Realm cultivators were originally high and mighty, but things completely changed when they entered the lake. There were some who broke apart on the spot, their flesh turning into essence energy, divine force, becoming a part of the lake water, even their bones becoming multicolored light and completely dissolving. This group of people met violent deaths!
Over half of them died just like that!
It was because this was the Reincarnation Pool. It was extremely terrifying, no matter how powerful one was, how profound their cultivation levels, they would all be suppressed here.
The power here would always crush you with absolute advantage. What it tested was the potential within one’s body, suppressing with power greater than your cultivation level.
That was why some people immediately had their bodies and spirits wiped out.
However, it had to be said that those who could cultivate to the Self Release Realm were all extraordinary, some of them even extremely outstanding heroes. This was why there were some who withstood the corrosion, not dying.
Only, the ones who survived also paid a great price, many of them having their body parts melted away, now in incredibly terrible states. There were some who only had a head left.
The cultivators who were even more miserable had their flesh completely dissolved, only having a primordial spirit struggling about, but even then, they almost couldn’t hold on, about to turn into a rain of light.
Only a few were still in relatively okay conditions, bitterly struggling. As time went on, they would undoubtedly die.
“You all are too lacking, all of you ridiculously weak!” Shi Hao stood there, looking at them with disdain, mocking them, “Not long ago, weren’t you all acting extremely viciously, chasing after me? Why are you all like sick chickens now? All of you are weak like rubbish!”
The people above were so angered their chests felt tight, unable to restrain their rage. This little bastard really knew how to take advantage of the situation, mocking and ridiculing them. It really was infuriating.
Did they have any strength to retaliate? They didn’t!
It was hard for them to even live in this lake, let alone fight.
“It’s not safe for you guys up there, if that existence roars again, all of you will explode. It’s better if you all come down.” Shi Hao enthusiastically called out.
Moreover, he put his words into action, already taking action, forcefully grabbing at those people.
Pu!
These creatures whose bodies were in terrible condition directly broke to pieces along the way, turning into multicolored light, becoming divine liquid, one with the lake water.
Shi Hao continued to look upwards, saying, “Yi, you were originally a chicken? There’s a big snake there, wu, I see a goat there. They are all delicious! When cultivated to this level, they are all definitely high quality ingredients, just too hard to find. I haven’t enjoyed Self Release Realm meat in this life yet!” Shi Hao pointed at them one after another, evaluating them. In the end, he directly encouraged them, saying, “All of you have to hold on, only by persisting through is there glory! If you all want to live, then you have to endure, you all must not be dissolved by this place! In the future, I’ll set up a pigpen to raise you all!”
“@#$%...” The foreign experts who were still alive were all angered to the point where their livers were in pain, smoke spouting through their seven orifices. However, they just couldn’t do anything to Shi Hao.
“En, wait a minute!” Suddenly, Shi Hao put away his smile, his face falling. He stared at a ruined body and said, “The shameful clans also came? There’s a debt I have to settle with you all!”
He already recognized that they were the creatures from Imperial Pass, not long ago pretending to rescue him, but they actually bore great malice.
