Chapter 1911 - The Other Side Fights Again
A thousand years passed, slowly passing by.
In everyone’s opinion, Shi Hao was already three thousand five hundred years old, currently at his very peak, when his blood and qi were at their most vigorous.
In reality, if his experiences during the Age of Emperor Collapse were included, he was already more than four million nine hundred thousand years old!
Time didn’t really leave much traces on his body. Comparatively speaking, he was practically young forever, maintaining a vigorous life force.
A thousand years passed. Imperial Court became increasingly prosperous, generation after generation of geniuses rose up, overlooking all sides. They truly became the number one sect under the heavens!
In this Nine Heavens Ten Earths, there was no one who didn’t know about them, Imperial Court’s prowess suppressed all sides.
However, what was regretful was that the Heavenly Horned Ant, Mu Qing, Cao Yusheng, and the others still didn’t become supreme beings, the dao path too difficult, especially in this Cultivationless Age.
In reality, if they thought about it, this was extremely normal as well. Even in Immortal Domain, Ao Gan, Pan Yi, Hun Tian, and others only achieved the dao after one or two thousands years.
What kind of environment did they have?
And they were all considered to have heaven warping talent!
Shi Hao was an exception, too talented. Compared to him, others would look too slow, but in reality, they couldn’t use him as a comparison at all.
During these thousand years, the world was extremely calm, not having any other changes happening.
The life restricted regions were all lifeless, long sealing themselves up.
Even the single-legged elder who rode on a large rooster didn’t appear again. The princess inviting the groom he spoke of didn’t display any activity, so Shi Hao was seriously suspecting if that elder was even reliable.
One had to understand that as early as three thousand five hundred years ago, during the great battle of Desolate Border, the single-legged elder had already gone to Imperial Pass, mentioning their princess was searching for a dao companion at that time.
He really didn’t know what was the meaning behind this several thousand years search.
In the most recent thousand years, Shi Hao never relaxed, silently and bitterly cultivating. It was because he knew that great danger was going to arrive at any time!
“Something’s wrong, there are issues!”
That day, Cao Yusheng warned. A formation shone, his true self rushing over, appearing in Imperial Court, his expression ugly.
“There are several formation cores that revealed issues, there is dark mist spreading from them!”
A thousand years ago, he, Shi Hao, the Heavenly Horned Ant and others followed the paths his master had taken, leaving behind many formation cores precisely to guard against the corrosion of darkness.
Moreover, there were several formation cores that released dark light at the same time, dark mist spreading out, indicating that there were changes that took place.
This was extremely terrible!
“There really are creatures crossing over from that side?!” The Heavenly Horned Ant was alarmed.
In the depths of the cosmos, Land of Darkness.
Formation cores rested here one after another, swirling with mist. The snow-white altars turned completely black.
Shi Hao hurried over, inwardly shaken. He knew that what was to come still came in the end. A pitch-black lotus flower took root in the void, tearing apart this sky, the crack becoming larger and larger.
Shi Hao vaguely heard waves of roars, as if there was an endless army galloping forth, ready to charge in at any time!
“Kill!”
Shi Hao shouted. He held the Everlasting Sword Core in hand, releasing dazzling brilliance that illuminated this dark cosmos, sweeping forward.
In that instant, starry rivers surged, this starry domain shaking intensely. All of the stars almost diverged from their original trajectory, about to fall.
Pu!
The black lotus flower was cut apart, its crystalline flower petals dancing about, carrying demonic nature, descending upon Shi Hao’s surroundings, turning into streak after streak of swirling dark light.
The entire stalk of this black lotus was sparkling like black jade, extremely large. Now, the flower petals scattered across the cosmos, extremely beautiful.
“Kill!”
Shi Hao shouted out. He took action again, directly hacking at this type of demonic lotus.
Sword energy shook the heavens. This expanse of the cosmos shook intensely!
Without a doubt, this terrifying sword radiance shocked all experts in the Nine Heavens Ten Earths. Even the people slumbering in the restricted regions opened their eyes, looking into the heavens.
The experts all sensed that the calm era had ended, that day was finally coming!
“Shi Hao, hurry and return!”
Yun Xi called him, extremely urgent. A piece of jade on Shi Hao’s body shone, a formation crystal that could receive messages from Imperial Court at any time.
“What happened?” He asked.
“There are changes taking place in Desolate Border, the other side’s creatures have appeared!” Yun Xi said, her voice extremely rushed.
Shi Hao’s body went rigid. He sensed that the most terrifying things were happening one after another, everything was going to take place now.
Chi!
Shi Hao took a step, stellar rivers swirling in reverse, stars appearing under his feet, emerging behind him. He immediately returned to Imperial Court.
Massive dao sounds sounded. The divine image that was consecrated in Imperial Court released endless radiance, taking the Everlasting Sword Core in his hands, entering the dark cosmos in his place to guard the passage.
This was his will force incarnation, it was now even more terrifying. After being worshipped by all clans, it now possessed inconceivable power.
“Has Imperial Pass been penetrated?” Shi Hao asked.
“It hasn’t.” Yun Xi shook her head. She hugged a pure white small cauldron, protecting her child.
This time, it was rather special. Imperial Pass wasn’t broken, but the troops of the other side directly appeared on this side of Imperial Pass, crossing over that ancient city.
“They opened up a new path, do they want to directly arrive inside?”
The Heavenly Horned Ant also returned, his expression serious. During the battle back then, Desolate Border was sealed up, they all thought that it would remain eternally sturdy, that there were no more worries, but who would have thought that after three thousand years, a great crisis appeared again?
Chi!
Shi Hao turned into a streak of flowing light, quickly rushing towards Imperial Pass.
The Heavenly Horned Ant and Cao Yusheng followed him.
Mu Qing, Crimson Dragon, Zhu Lin and others entered the dark cosmos, following Shi Hao’s will force incarnation to guard the passage there.
On Imperial Pass’ side, the vast uninhabited region.
The rocks and stones here burst open, a massive and ancient altar appearing from underground. At this time, there were troops of people currently walking down from the altar.
These people were all murderous-looking, wearing armor, holding ice-cold heavenly spears, great halberds, divine spears, and other things in their hands, carrying an incredibly cold aura.
These were foreign troops, there was no mistake!
Imperial Pass immediately noticed abnormalities, reporting to Imperial Court!
“Wu, this side truly makes one feel uncomfortable, the great dao suffocating. This really is a damned place!”
A man that was handsome to the point of being a bit sinister covered his mouth and nose. He wore silver armor, incredibly arrogant, carrying an expression of disgust as he descended the altar.
“Great one, this way!” Someone immediately walked up.
It was because that extremely young and sinisterly handsome looking man came from an Emperor Clan, a powerful creature who had achieved the dao for many years, already a supreme being for more than a hundred thousand years.
Wu! That silver-armored creature released a light wu sound, and then turned around to ask, “Is Huang still alive?”
His name was Shu Yu, the descendant of the undying king Shutuo.
“He is still alive. From what we tentatively know, he has already achieved the dao for many years!”
“What?!” When the silver-armored handsome male heard this, his pupils contracted, lowering the hand covering his mouth, saying, “Just how old is he? How is this possible?”
“He is now three thousand five hundred years old, becoming a supreme being before five hundred years of age.” Someone carefully reported.
“How is that possible? This type of speed is too fast!” The silver-armored sinister male said.
“That is why great one Shu Yu must be careful, this Huang is not ordinary!”
“Becoming a supreme being in the Cultivationless Age really isn’t simple. However, he has only cultivated for a trifling three thousand five hundred years, just how much dao skills could he have accumulated? There is no way he could have reached the peak, not worth being scared of!” Shu Yu said.
“Is that so? It truly is unexpected. This fella is formidable, becoming a supreme being this early. This is rather interesting as well, or else if we directly crush him to death, what fun is there?”
Right at this time, another male appeared on the altar, dressed in copper armor. His face looked like it was sculpted from a blade, the bridge of his nose and his cheekbones were all extremely tall, giving off a solid feeling.
He had a smile on his face, but it was a bit cold.
This individual was named An Teng, the undying Anlan’s descendant, the genius of a generation. He became a supreme being after cultivating just a few thousand years, attached great importance to in his clan.
This time, after searching everywhere, they found a way to break through Immortal Ancient’s seal. After finding that ancient path, An Teng was chosen, sent here to the Nine Heavens Ten Earths to bring back some achievements.
It was because everyone knew that this realm was half crippled, having no experts, no immortal dao creatures overseeing it. The last of their backing had been completely exhausted in the great battle three thousand years ago.
As long as a few supreme beings came over, it was enough to wipe out this realm, sweep through all creatures!
“Heh heh, interesting, that little fella from the past already became an individual who can compete with us. Only capturing him like this has some flavor.”
Another person spoke. This was a woman dressed in black armor, her gaze deep and cold, a bit malicious, her laughter also rather cold.
This was another Emperor Clan disciple, her name Chi Xiao. Comparatively speaking, her cultivation period wasn’t too long, only eighteen thousand years old, a top level figure among Scarlet King’s descendants. [1]
It was because she achieved the dao when she was five thousand years old, her talents extraordinary.
She already consolidated this realm for more than ten thousand years.
Chi Xiao said coldly, “Back then, he killed my grandnephew Chi Menghong, even roasting one of his legs and eating it, treating it like food. Today, I am going to skin him alive!”
It wasn’t just her, there were eight or nine more supreme beings who walked out from the altar, half of them from Emperor Clans, all of them had grudges against Shi Hao.
In their eyes, the past battle was the Emperor Clans’ humiliation. The young generation’s Emperor Clan experts were defeated by Huang one after another, some of them even dying miserably. It truly was unacceptable.
“Wu, now that we came, there won’t be any chance left for him!” Shu Yu’s handsome and sinister face carried a smile.
“Exactly! Let’s have a game of cat and mouse, it really is interesting!” An Teng also smiled.
In the back, there were more men, troops appearing in the uninhabited region one after another. The troops became larger and larger, tens of thousands of cultivators appearing.
Among them, just supreme beings alone numbered thirteen, here to sweep the Nine Heavens clean, kill all those who achieved the dao in this realm.
Four of them were from Emperor Clans.
“Let’s be a bit more careful, that brat has some rather strange things on him. In the past, he borrowed a drop of blood to display divine might.” Someone reminded.
An Teng’s expression became overcast, saying, “It’s fine, the undying kings already examined it. That drop of blood isn’t something he can use just because he wants to, today, we will seize that drop of blood!”
When they left, the altar was still shining, shaking intensely, as if a massive creature was coming over.
In the end, with a hong sound, three figures appeared at the same time!
These were the ones who brought up the rear, appearing last.
The creatures who were guarding the altar’s surroundings all bowed down respectfully, their expressions serious. At the same time, they trembled slightly, because these were three undying creatures.
“This feeling is rather awful, I loathe this Cultivationless Age, loathe this realm.” One of them said.
It was because after they crossed over, they immediately sensed the restrictions, moreover quickly sealed up a portion of their own power.
Otherwise, all types of unforeseen changes would be triggered in this Cultivationless Age. The terrifying aura and the magicless traces would even extend into the other side.
“Hurry and shut the passage!” One of them said.
“This side’s heaven and earth are changing greatly. Unless one is a native of this world, when undying level power is displayed, it would easily bring back a rebound.” An undying creature frowned.
“I believe we likely won’t need to take action.” Another person said coldly.
The troops were led by some Emperor Clan individuals. They quickly moved along, entering the three thousand provinces’ area, wishing to sweep through the Nine Heavens, in particular kill Huang.
Chi!
A streak of divine rainbow descended from above. Shi Hao arrived, cutting them off.
Then, the Heavenly Horned Ant and Cao Yusheng also descended, standing at his side.
They previously went to Imperial Pass, saw that that area wasn’t attacked, so they hurried over here.
“Huang?!” The silver-armored handsome male Shu Yu immediately stood out, recognizing Huang. It was because he had already seen his portrait.
Shu Yu carried a sinister smile, saying, “We were just about to look for you, but you now came right to us. Say, should I immediately skin you alive, or slowly deal with you?”
An Teng was dressed in copper armor, also standing up and saying, “Very good, you became a supreme being. This is worth us capturing you, or else what fun is there in killing an ant?”
Chi Xiao was a woman, yet she was even more domineering than the men, saying, “Crawl over here and beg for forgiveness, pray before Chi Menghong’s tomb, and then accept death!”
Shi Hao coldly scanned his eyes over them. He naturally sensed that these individuals were exceptionally strong, a good amount stronger than other supreme beings. He knew that these were Emperor Clan disciples.
“You all really have a lot of nonsense to say!” Shi Hao said coldly.
The Heavenly Horned Ant and Cao Yusheng both stood at his side, not worried at all. Shi Hao had even killed a true immortal, would he be scared of these Emperor Clan supreme beings?
“Heh, you pitiful thing who doesn’t know the height and depth of this world, do you think you are all that formidable for achieving the dao early? Fool, you are courting death!” An Teng said coldly.
“To us, you are too immature!” Shu Yu ridiculed.
Shi Hao didn’t say anything, directly taking action. A large earthen yellow hand reached out, fiercely striking down, transferring unmatched might!
“What?!”
In that instant, Shu Yu’s smile froze, An Teng’s confidence also vanishing, his face that was flickering with scarlet multicolored light warping. They began to tremble from deep within.
These Emperor Clan individuals immediately reacted, wishing to escape. It was because they sensed a trembling from their very soul, feeling that there was no way they were this youngster’s opponents. If they truly faced him head-on, they would die.
They fled quickly, but that large hand was even faster, immediately becoming bigger, covering the world, descending from the heavens, smashing down.
Pu pu pu!
Almost at the same time, the Emperor Clan individuals were all slapped until they exploded, turning into blasts of bloody mist.
Meanwhile, below, there was still a great army, but they were even more lamentable, dying without a burial site, a large half of them obliterated.
“Run!”
There were other supreme beings holding up the rear, far from this place. They shouted loudly, having the survivors hurry and run.
However, a large hand rushed across the sky, as if shrouding this world. All of them were covered and sucked into the palm. In the end, with a pu sound, they were all crushed.
It was just that direct, decisive to the point of being brutal and ruthless!
Shi Hao’s hand covered the sky, annihilating everyone.
In the end, only some imprints were left, three of them belonging to Shu Yu, Chi Xiao and An Teng.
“Speak, how did you all cross over into this realm? Who else is going to cross?” Shi Hao shouted. Leaving behind their imprints was just to extort confessions.
“You…” Every hope turned to dust for these individuals. People as strong as them ended up in this type of state, their previous words truly were laughable. They were actually killed by a single palm from this person.
“There is no need to ask anymore, we have come!” A cold voice sounded from the uninhabited region.
The three great undying beings appeared!
With a pu sound, Shi Hao’s palm and fingers closed. An Teng, Shu Yu, Chi Xiao and the others’ life imprints exploded, turning into scattered dust.
