Chapter 1535 - Return
Imperial Pass was right before them, vigorous and imposing!
Its simple and ancient outlook carried signs of great changes. The city was formed through countless stars, despite its old-fashioned appearance, it was majestic and oppressive, as if an entire universe was crushing down.
Meng Tianzheng’s figure was tall and straight, standing before Imperial Pass. His golden armor was tattered, carrying dark red traces of blood, thick black hair scattered down to his waist. His eyes were extremely deep, full of depth, heroic aura restrained. Right now, he had the appearance of his golden years!
“Great Elder, nothing is wrong, right?” Shi Hao asked. He was extremely worried. Just now, Great Elder fought while bathed in blood, a single person actually killing two supreme beings, his style unmatched.
If not for that unforeseen incident, even more powerful reinforcements arriving from Heavenly Beast Forest, Meng Tianzheng might have even killed a third supreme being. Before going, he already cleaved the other party’s body into two parts.
Just how world-shaking of accomplishment was this? If news of this went out, it would shake the entire world under the sky.
Perhaps this was this great era’s most shocking battle, after all, it was a battle at the very peak of mortal dao!
Great Elder didn’t say anything, only shaking his head. An altar appeared in his palm, extremely small, only the height of a fist. It released brilliance, and then produced a passage.
Shua!
Immediately afterwards, Shi Hao and Meng Tianzheng disappeared from their original location, entering that passage, proceeding into Emperor City!
At the same time, a few figures in the great desert screamed out, releasing world-shaking roars. The entire golden desert was overturned.
One could see endless skeletal remains below the desert, all of them from creatures who died in the past. They were all divine bones, rising and falling within the desert, the scene astonishing.
Several figures stood before Imperial Pass, their expressions all cold, carrying powerful killing intent. However, they already couldn’t do anything, they couldn’t break into this city.
Moreover, even further out, there were a few more figures, their auras all surging, extremely terrifying, the blood energy they released covering the sun and moon!
The foreign supreme beings gave chase. After coming here, they could only hold their regret. There was no way for them to enter.
“It won’t be long before my side comes knocking on your door, completely opening up this ancient city!” Someone said coldly.
At this moment, light shone from inside the city. This was a public square, the space it occupied extremely vast, great armies normally setting out from here.
“Yi, someone moved through space, entering the city through the passage.”
“Sigh, it is definitely another troop that went looking for Huang that returned. It really is regretful, Heavenly Beast Forest has been surrounded, no one able to enter.”
“Huang really is too unlucky, dying an untimely death! He is trapped there, no one able to save him.”
A few people discussed amongst themselves. It was clear that news of what happened outside Desolate Border got back, drawing the attention of everyone in the city.
The foreign great army stood guard outside Heavenly Beast Forest, mustering great forces, killing intent overflowing into the heavens. Imperial Pass long heard about this, paying close attention to this the entire time.
However, that place was a danger spot. Moreover, after several dozen troops were sent out, most of them were advised to return by Great Elder, not allowing them to take risks.
There were some who insisted on going, but in the end, they returned. When they saw the armored great army surrounding Heavenly Beast Forest, they could only sigh.
“Can Senior Meng Tianzheng succeed?” Some people carried hope, saying like this, hoping that he could successfully bring Huang back.
By now, many people knew that Huang obtained a wooden chest from outside Desolate Border. The other side went crazy precisely because of this, this item definitely affected too much.
“I heard that Huang continuously killed foreign enemies, completely unstoppable as he weaved in and out, extremely astonishing!”
Some secret reports returned, triggering a huge commotion.
When the other side hunted down Huang, quite a few young experts died. This made quite a few hot-blooded youngsters become excited, previously cheering because of this.
“They’re coming, appearing here!”
Everyone looked towards the public square. There was a giant altar there.
Regardless of whether it was leaving or returning to the city, they all had to be examined carefully by the formation, inspected, even life imprints examined to ensure Imperial Pass’ safety.
That was why regardless of whether it was many people who passed through or just one or two, it would always take a bit of time.
“Heavens, it’s Senior Meng!”
“Ah, my eyes aren’t deceiving me right? Who am I looking at, Huang… returned!”
Inside the city gates, around the public square, a group of people cried out in alarm, simply refusing to believe everything they saw.
An upright and tall figure dressed in tattered golden clothes emerged, even his hair covered in blood, he brought Huang back to Emperor City. He stood on the altar, looking like a returning war god.
Quite a few people rubbed their eyes, making sure that they didn’t see incorrectly. They then erupted into cheers.
“Senior Meng’s divine might is matchless, actually slaughtered his way back, bringing Huang with him!”
“Heavens, his heroicness truly is incomparable!”
“The foreign great army surrounded Heavenly Beast Forest, so many supreme beings overseeing it, yet none of them could stop Senior Meng from bringing Huang back!”
Everyone knew that Meng Tianzheng definitely experienced an exceptionally terrifying battle. Otherwise, how could he have broken out of their siege, safely bringing Shi Hao back to Imperial Pass?
They knew even without taking the time to think about it that this was a decisive battle that touched upon the supreme being level, an unimaginable extraordinary clash of titans.
Meng Tianzheng’s body was soaked in blood, his armor in tatters, this enough to explain some things. This was but a great battle between supreme beings! Just how bitter and intense was that?
To even fight supreme beings without dying, returning alive, this was the greatest victory!
“I am going to make a report!”
Soon afterwards, news transmitted out. However, it wasn’t as fast as Meng Tianzheng’s speed. A great golden path appeared below his feet, bringing Shi Hao away from this place, directly heading into Imperial Pass’ depths.
“This is a miracle! Huang returned, not falling in Desolate Border’s danger spots!”
This news really was shocking, shaking up Imperial Pass, leaving all sides stunned. It was because previously, everyone thought that Shi Hao was going to die outside, that there was no way he could return.
However, Meng Tianzheng toppled everything alone, bathed in blood, winning and returning.
All of Imperial Pass erupted into commotion. Even though the city was incredibly large, the land it occupied massive, when news was released, almost the entire city exploded.
This was a huge affair!
It was because Huang obtained a supreme treasure! This triggered the attention of the other side, wishing to seize it back, but he successfully made it through.
“Was the rotten wooden chest brought back?” Many people paid close attention to this, urgently wishing to know. This was especially the case with some great powers.
Of course, all sides were shocked at Meng Tianzheng’s strength as well. Just how great were his divine skills? A single person marched into the other side’s endless army, rescuing his disciple and returning.
“Heaven warping divine might, Senior Meng is unmatched after all! If the environment hadn’t changed, he would have long achieved immortality!”
“Where is Huang? We have to meet him, even more so meet Senior Meng!”
Many people shouted, crying out, extremely stirred up. After they learned of what happened, they wanted to know what happened outside Desolate Border.
A great golden path passed through Emperor City, extending for who knew how many tens of thousands of li. Along the way, Great Elder suddenly dropped down with Shi Hao.
“Ah, it’s Senior Meng!”
When someone saw them, his throat immediately went dry. Then, a group rushed over, greeting them with great courtesy, their eyes burning fiercely.
The current Great Elder, was, without a doubt, like a war immortal, making many people feel incomparable admiration.
“Please don’t disturb Great Elder for now, he fought an intense battle with several supreme beings, he has taken on injuries himself as well!” Shi Hao said, extremely worried.
“What?” The others were shocked. He fought a decisive battle alone against several supreme beings? Just how powerful was this? It really was heroic and domineering!
“What was the result?” Even though they knew that Great Elder was unharmed, returning peacefully, many people were still overwhelmed by emotions.
“Great Elder killed two great supreme beings in succession, seriously wounded another! If not for even more creatures appearing from the other side, Great Elder’s accomplishments might be even more glorious!” Shi Hao said.
Hong!
This place completely erupted.
Many people felt their blood boil. When they looked at the current young and heroic great elder, all of their eyes burned fiercely, feeling incomparable admiration and respect.
“Raising my Imperial Pass’ divine might, Senior Meng is a heaven warping hero!”
A few people roared out.
“Follow me.” Meng Tianzheng said to Shi Hao.
There was a mountain region ahead that surged with chaotic energy. Great Elder brought Shi Hao into a mountain forest. There was an extremely ancient giant palace inside.
This was one of the places where Great Elder normally cultivated in seclusion.
The others stopped, unable to enter.
“Senior, how are you really feeling?” Shi Hao felt more and more worried, fearing that something unexpected would happen to Great Elder.
When he spoke up to here, he quickly produced a jade bottle, inside of it a sparkling leaf that carried rich fragrance. It was precisely the immortal medicine leaf he obtained not long ago.
Great Elder shook his head, not accepting it. Many cracks appeared on the surface of his body, like cracked porcelain, truly terrifying, as if his body might break apart at any time.
“What a pity, I was just that close!” Great Elder shook his head, saying with a sigh.
Shi Hao’s mind immediately fell.
“You do not need to worry, I’m fine. I only feel a bit of regret, if those attack methods and tempering were a bit greater, perhaps it would be a great opportunity.” Great Elder said.
Then, he explained to Shi Hao that the ancient method he cultivated was extremely special.
“I previously used the body as a seed, but something unexpected happened, thus almost dying in the process, later on reborn within ashes. This time, I wanted to use this chance to refine my body, but the amount of force wasn’t enough…”
Great Elder’s words immediately left Shi Hao shocked and stupefied.
Great Elder’s cultivation had reached a critical moment, intentionally fighting head-on in the great battle, giving up many techniques and methods, wishing to borrow those supreme beings to temper his own body, help himself carry out a crucial transformation.
This was naturally extremely dangerous!
It was because every move from the enemy was life threatening!
Shi hao felt like Great Elder might be even stronger than what he displayed in that battle.
“The tempering didn’t completely go as expected. I wish to enter seclusion, try to break at the limit.” Great Elder said. At the same time, his injuries really weren’t light.
When he spoke up to here, with a raise of his hand, his palm shone. The rotten wooden chest appeared.
Previously, he used great magical force to hide the wooden chest’s aura. Now, he held it in his hands, carefully examining it.
In the end, Great Elder released a sigh. He didn’t find out anything either. He had already carefully inspected it while fighting the great battle earlier.
Great Elder returned the wooden chest to Shi Hao, because he had no way of opening it.
“You killed countless enemies this time, making the other side suffer disastrous losses. Do not underreport, tell everyone what happened. Your contributions this time are just too great, Stone Clan within Imperial Pass should be able to free themselves from sin!” Great Elder warned.
Shi Hao bowed respectfully. He truly felt the greatest admiration for Great Elder. If Great Elder didn’t take action, he definitely wouldn’t be able to return alive.
“Go then.” Great Elder closed his eyes. He had to enter seclusion, the first was because he wanted to carry out a great transformation, the second was because his injuries really were serious.
