Chapter 1864 - Marching Into the Higher Realm
They were headed for the higher realm? When they heard this, they all rubbed their fists eagerly. They wanted to leave a long time ago, slaughter their way up and take a look!
During these years, they cultivated quietly, comprehended the great dao, but they had long reached bottlenecks. They needed some opportunities to smash through their current shackles.
“Assemble!”
Shi Hao said, gathering the young soldiers.
Mu Qing, Zhu Lin, Shi Zhong, and the others were the best of this group, their eyes all revealing excitement. They were finally setting out. They sensed that this time, it was going to involve the heavens above and earth below!
There were four to five hundred kids that were brought back from Desolate Border before. Now, they had long grown up.
This was, without a doubt, the main force. They were all exceptional.
There were many outstanding individuals among those who were born in Stone Village as well, filling up the numbers.
After all these years, even though Stone Village stood aloof from worldly affairs, like a secluded paradise, these young soldiers had never slacked off, always tempering themselves.
The top four hundred were known as the main force, called Heavenly Soldiers.
These people could follow at Shi Hao’s left and right, charge into war with him, this was the promise he made back then.
Apart from this, there were four hundred more that were treated as the reserve. The best of them could directly step in for any of the top four hundred ranked towards the back.
Shi Hao had previously said that he hoped one day, he could turn these Heavenly Soldiers into Heavenly Generals, so that they could truly launch an expedition through all different realms, slaughter their way into the foreign realm, Immortal Domain, and other places.
Back then, those kids were still young, but they always remembered this in their hearts.
After many years passed, Shi Hao finally began to bring people with him. This immediately ignited the passion suppressed within them for many years, now, they could completely release it.
Even though it was a promise from many years ago, it still filled their hearts with burning passion, surging. They were finally going to move out, this might be their first true battle.
These years of tempering and training, all of that didn’t count. The true battles began from here on out!
“The eight hundred disciples are going to set out together!” Shi Hao said.
The four hundred heavenly troops, together with the four hundred reserve troops, were going to set out together!
“There’s me as well, don’t forget about me! I want to fight as well!” The big black turtle cried out, standing up vertically, as if it was carrying a big black pot on its back.
The Zhuyan was tweaking its ears and scratching its cheeks, long unable to sit still, stating that it was going to go crazy in the higher realm. There was no need to doubt its strength, during these years, after cultivating the Chaos Demonic Ape bloodline’s Eight Nine Heavens Technique, its achievements have long become heaven-reaching, earth-moving.
The crimson dragon was also moving, huffing and puffing in the air, releasing waves of draconic cries. It was full of fighting spirit, wishing to examine its own dao skills. None of them were counted within the eight hundred, but they were eager to give it a go.
The Green Scaled Eagle and its three children Big Peng, Little Green, Violet Cloud, and the big red bird were also crying out, circling the air, wishing to join the battle.
“Let’s go!”
They turned around, a war banner unfolding, fluttering in the wind. The eight hundred disciples followed behind Shi Hao, riding their mounts into the sky dome, rushing into the distance.
Even Shi Hao sat on a heavenly horse who was pure white like jade. It raised its head, crying out, its voice resounding.
This was the past unicorn beast Little White. When Shi Hao was seven years old, he rode it across the great wastelands, exploring the outside world. It was also the leader of Stone Village’s unicorns.
In the past, Willow Deity helped it undergo a magic transformation, stimulating the original lineage within its body.
After all these years, it had always been evolving. This was especially the case under Shi Hao’s deliberate care, undergoing astonishing changes.
It still wasn’t a true Heavenly Horse, but it was already on this path. Its bloodline continuously became more and more pure, its movements fast like lightning, fierce like a True Dragon. It was an extremely handsome and powerful mount.
The three thousand provinces were destined to not remain calm. It was because they slaughtered their way up!
After more than a hundred years passed, regardless of whether it was the three thousand provinces or the Nine Heavens above, they all remained extremely gloomy. It was because this world really wasn’t suited to cultivation.
Time was ruthless, continuously shaving away the years of older generation experts.
During these hundred or so years, it was unknown just how many older generation big names died in meditation, their blood energy drying up, lifespans cut short. They all died under the corrosion of time.
With the descent of an age without cultivation, all cultivators’ lifespans declined sharply!
For those old freaks who lived millions of years, this was an absolute disaster.
Apart from great sects with huge backgrounds who were still able to hold on through various great medicines and heavenly treasures, the other small sects’ leaders all withered away.
Of course, the most terrifying thing was that cultivation was too difficult. After decades to over a century passed, the increase in dao skills became even more limited, it couldn’t compare to before at all.
This was the issue everyone encountered, a great misfortune.
Even for Stone Village with the nine dragons pulling coffin suppression, it was still difficult during these years. Everyone else was still slowly increasing their dao skills, but the Self Release Realm Mu Qing, crimson dragon, Zhu Lin, and others all stopped advancing.
This was related to the heavenly moat before achieving supreme being level, even more so related to the Cultivationless Age!
“Heh, those great sects are still here! They are still the ones ruling this place.” Shi Hao said quietly. After a century passed, when he returned again, he learned that it was still the same people overlooking this place.
“Lacking the courage to fight the other side in Desolate Border, not daring to fight the creatures of darkness, what is the point of leaving you all alive?!” Shi Hao’s voice was forceful.
These simple words carried chilly killing intent, even more so a type of resolution. He was going to unleash a great slaughter!
The eight hundred disciples all carried harsh auras. Even though this was the first time they formally set out to fight, there wasn’t the slightest feeling of disorder.
Their movements were even, as if they were all forged from steel, carrying terrifying killing intent. These years’ tempering through battles wasn’t for nothing.
“For the first battle, who are we targeting?” The Zhuyan asked. It carried a big rod in hand, displaying a magical projection that was incredibly massive. Its golden fur was shining, body full of killing intent, becoming a violent ape that filled heaven and earth.
“Immortal Palace!”
Shi Hao waved his hand. He stirred on the Heavenly Horse, pointing forward.
When they heard these words, many people were moved. Even Mu Qing, crimson dragon, Shi Zhong, and others were shocked. There was a ruined immortal there, were they going to slaughter their way over just like that?
However, they didn’t say too much, strictly obeying the order. All of them stirred on their mounts, bodies dressed in black armor, charging forward like a surging sea.
“Just a ruined immortal, if I am scared of even him, can’t even kill him, then what can I do?” Shi Hao said, as if dispelling their doubts, giving them confidence.
“Kill!”
Eight hundred disciples roared out together, only having this word. They charged forward.
That day was destined to not remain calm. The great earth trembled. Eight hundred disciples wasn’t that great a number, but they swept through everything like a violent sea.
Great rumbling noises sounded, their howling shook the skies. Wherever they passed, all clans were shaken.
Just what kind of power was this? They rushed right past just like that! Everyone felt like these troops were too strong, able to wipe out any clan no matter where they slaughtered towards.
They were too fast. After locking onto Immortal Palace, they charged straight there, crossing the sky dome, rushing in a straight line.
They could see the buildings on the ground from the distance, everything made of bronze, extending continuously. It was an extremely magnificent sight.
There weren’t many disciples left in Immortal Palace, to the extent where it could be said they were extremely few. Their direct descendants throughout history never exceeded five.
As for whether there were any hidden inheritors, that was unknown.
However, the number of servants wasn’t few, and they were extremely strong, all of them great evil, giant vicious beings that became their servants, fierce and domineering.
From far away, Shi Hao raised an arm, grabbing towards the void. His palm and fingers shone, grabbing down a star from outer space. He refined it in his hand, and then fiercely threw it!
Hong!
The heavens shook and earth swayed. He directly smashed a star into the ancient land.
This was just too ferocious, shaking the heavens above and earth below!
A star, even though it was refined to look like the size of a fist, it was still a real star. When it was hurled like this, its power was incomparably terrifying.
Immortal Palace, this inheritance was naturally protected by exceptional formations. The moment the attack approached, radiance rushed into the heavens, divine light surging, activating powerful defenses.
However, Shi Hao’s attack was too terrifying, even the ruined formation left behind by an immortal family was blasted through, breaking apart.
It was because Shi Hao’s attack was too ferocious. If there wasn’t a great formation here, this entire place would become a land of death, nothing left behind at all!
“Who?”
The instant the great formation broke apart, everyone in Immortal Palace became stupefied, shocked. Who exactly was it that dared attack them?
Under the intense explosion sounds, under the burning divine light, Immortal Palace, this ancient land ruptured and collapsed. Many creatures rushed out.
They saw the people in the horizon, eight hundred troops slaughtering their way over. It was like an army of heaven, descending from above, full of killing intent.
“Heavens, that’s… Huang!” Someone cried out in alarm, face immediately becoming white.
After a hundred years, Huang appeared again, so how could they not be scared? One had to understand that back then, Immortal Palace’s supreme being was personally killed by Shi Hao. Now that so many years passed, his cultivation definitely advanced further.
Shi Hao didn’t utter a single word. He held the sword core, directly slaughtering his way into the very depths of this place, wishing to rush into the earth.
As for the others, he didn’t pay them any attention, leaving them for the eight hundred disciples to clean out.
