Chapter 1985 - A Single Person’s Imperial Court
In the Law Pool, it was extremely dazzling, great brilliance was released from it, shining all over Immortal Domain.
At the same time, it was also terrifying, sucking in enemies from all sides. The darkness creatures all shrunk, quickly entering inside.
All of Immortal Domain became crazy over this matter!
This magical artifact was too terrifying. It floated in the heavens just like that, all intruders flying towards the pool, unable to control themselves, flying like little bugs into the fiery light.
Shi Hao stood in the void, overlooking Immortal Domain. It was as if he had existed for all of eternity, overlooking all enemies as they were captured.
Roar!
Among them, there was an ancient beast that was especially powerful. It struggled about, crushing mountains, rivers and all other things. It leapt out, even larger than a star, wishing to flee from Immortal Domain.
This ancient beast was a powerful fallen immortal king. It roared, crushing stars, tearing apart the cosmos, wishing to completely escape.
However, under Shi Hao’s cold eyes, with a sweep of his sleeve, a pu sounded. That ancient beast immediately exploded, turning into a blast of bloody mist.
Everyone was horrified. Was this precisely Huang’s power?
This was too powerful. This was an immortal king! However, with just a swing of his sleeve, its life was taken just like that!
It could be said that half immortal emperor level already exceeded everyone’s imagination. The current Shi Hao who already fully recovered from his injuries now stood at the absolute peak of the great dao, overlooking all life, difficult for him to meet his match.
“The darkness is the final place of return, immortal kings are no exception!”
Someone roared out, hair disheveled, towering in this world. His body was massive to the extreme, roaring from the distance. He struggled out of the vortex, wishing to go crazy and slaughter his way out of this realm.
Unfortunately, under a shout from Shi Hao, a symbol was spat out. It was as if a great golden mountain crushed down, smashing into that person’s body, making him explode on the spot, his body and spirit perishing.
This power was too shocking, extremely dazzling. Dazzling king blood burned, making heaven and earth rumble continuously.
“Run!”
Even if they were darkness creatures, even if their backgrounds were extremely great, they lost all of their fighting spirit now, not having any intentions of staying behind and fighting. All of them wanted to run.
However, how were they supposed to get away?
In the sky dome above, that Law Pool released dazzling radiance. It swirled with hazy radiance, collecting all of the intruders.
There were fish that left the net, but it was only because they were momentarily too far away. However, with a point of Shi Hao’s finger, all of the blood and bones were blasted apart. They couldn’t get away at all.
“Darkness is eternal, this day will arrive one day!”
There were those who didn’t fear death, screaming out and struggling endlessly. They took action towards those near them, even wishing to slaughter their way towards Shi Hao.
Hong!
Immediately afterwards, the Law Pool descended, the distance becoming closer and closer to the great earth. It was slaughtering all of the intruders, quickly sucking them away.
Weng!
In the end, the Law Pool began to spin around, rotating above Immortal Domain. It possessed extreme speed, instantly moving over millions of millions of li. Its speed was too fast, sucking in all of the remaining intruders. From then on, there were no more fish that escaped the net.
Apart from a few experts that were left behind by Shi Hao to question, with a fierce shake of the law pool and a pu sound, this expert completely turned into bloody mist, dying a violent death.
A flame began to burn in the pool, absorbing that creature’s law imprints. Then, with a light shake, all of them were turned into ashes and remains.
This was a great killing weapon!
Even the expressions of Immortal Domain’s kings turned green. This was too terrifying.
Just now, many of them were still fighting intensely, the same level as themselves. Yet in the end, they were all slaughtered just like that. Just how heaven-defying were these methods?
Dong!
In the place where Guidance Ancient Palace originally towered, the void split apart. Terrifying energy surged, black mist overflowing into the heavens, as if there was some type of creature trying to cross over.
Shi Hao remained fearless. He rushed into the heavens, stopping over there, gazing in that direction!
“Kill!”
He released a loud shout. With a qiang noise, he drew his immortal sword. The dazzling radiance stung immortal kings’ eyes until they had to lower their heads, not daring to stare straight at it.
Chi!
Shi Hao hacked out, slicing open that area of the void, making this passage even larger. He wanted to see just what kind of creature was crossing over for himself.
Roar!
A great roar sounded. Immortal Domain shook. If not for Shi Hao sealing up this place, many people would be shaken until their bodies cracked apart, dying violent deaths.
Shi Hao saw that this was a massive creature. It had nineteen heads, covered in green scales, fierce and horrifying.
The nineteen heads were all different. The body was a dragon body, moving about there, dancing about. Its figure really was just too large. Its finest scales were all brighter than a moon, its eyes as large as planets.
Its power was horrifying. Apart from the dragon head in the center, there was a White Tiger head, Pixiu head, Taotie head…
That scene was horrifying, its aura also horrifying.
Shi Hao was sure that this monster was powerful, Kun Di, Ju Chong, none of these would be its match. It was too strong, not many creatures able to match it.
In the past, that nine-headed monster was already terrifying, fighting a long battle against Shi Hao who didn’t break through yet. This one had nineteen heads, even more shocking.
“Nineteen kings devoured each other and merged, becoming this type of magical body?” Shi Hao said to himself.
Without a doubt, this creature was at the peak of immortal king level. If it could break through the final shackles, then it would be too formidable.
Only, those shackles were too hard to break through!
No matter how powerful this creature was, in the end, it still couldn’t take that step.
From the past until now, how many experts could reach that level? Right now, there was only Huang.
“There are several experts among Immortal Kings that are even more formidable than Kun Di. I wonder how far those fellas in the depths of Realm Sea are now.”
Roar!
This monster roared out, slaughtering its way forward. It released a heart shaking aura. If there were other immortal kings here, they definitely wouldn’t be able to handle it.
However, in Shi Hao’s perspective, this was not enough at all. His sword hacked out. With a pu chi noise, the nineteen heads all fell off, carrying a large expanse of bloody mist.
“Speak, what kind of background do you all have?” Shi Hao asked.
In reality, even without thinking too much, he could tell that these were creatures from Darkness Prison, just like the nine-headed monster from before, just that this one was even stronger.
Merging the primordial spirits of nineteen kings, just how terrifying of a thing was this?
It indeed was unmatched in Immortal King Realm, able to sweep through all experts in this present world.
“What is there to say? We fell into darkness, devoured each other. Now, there was a chance, so we carried darkness matter, marched here to challenge the radiant.”
One head said.
“Consecrate darkness, worship eternally.”
Another head muttered, the expression in its eyes crazy. It was confused, carrying a type of craziness. This was not normal at all.
Shi Hao’s expression immediately became cold. He knew that these creatures had been locked up for an endless amount of time, that they couldn’t be evaluated with normal reasoning at all.
He grabbed them over one after another, searching their minds.
In the end, he gave it a light cold snort and said, “I’ll send you on your way, set you free!”
Chi!
When his sword swept out, the nineteen heads were all crushed into powder, their bodies and spirits erased.
These creatures only knew slaughter and destruction. If he truly left it behind, there would be a great disaster sooner or later.
In the Land of Darkness, what exactly was there really? Why was this type of monster created? Charging in with a great army like this, it truly was a type of great danger for Immortal Domain.
Qiang!
Shi Hao brandished his blade, hacking out again. He really wanted to hack apart the everlasting, tearing apart the darkness, completely opening up the so-called prison.
He was extremely regretful. His sword descended, but he didn’t see the Darkness Prison. This passage was already crumbling inch by inch, completely disappearing without a trace.
“Guidance Ancient Palace is connected to the Land of Darkness. Is it guiding the creatures from the prison back?” Shi Hao said quietly.
He held the Law Pool in his hand, staring inside, observing that Guidance Ancient Palace and restricted a few heads he preserved, searching their sea of consciousness.
However, in the end, there weren’t too many gains. They didn’t know anything about the Land of Darkness. They had been locked up in the prison for an endless amount of time.
Today, a voice sounded, about to grant them freedom, return them to radiance. Only then did they revive, slaughtering their way over on orders.
“After millions and millions of years of imprisonment, all these heroes of the past, the past prides of heaven, in the end, were still destroyed.” Shi Hao released a long sigh. That type of environment was deathly still and silent, enough to make one go crazy.
This battle came to an end.
Shi Hao returned extremely promptly, but the damage Immortal Domain suffered was still extremely great.
Guidance Ancient Palace appeared too suddenly, directly making its way through a group of experts, unleashing a great slaughter. No one could defend against it.
Everyone felt that with Shi Hao in Realm Sea, comparatively speaking, Immortal Domain was safe. In reality, this was the case for two hundred thousand years.
Who would have thought that a disaster would suddenly descend from above like this?
Even Imperial Court had great casualties. There were some old generals that followed Shi Hao up from the lower realm, brought here by Pan King.
However, in this battle, there were also some of these old soldiers who died.
Even with the Five Bird Fans, Time Immemorial Gourd, Five Element Banner and other things, in this great battle where even immortal kings died miserably, they still suffered greatly.
In this great battle, Darkness Willow Deity faced attacks from all sides, almost suffering greatly. Many of its branches were broken.
Even if it finally passed, in the end, a few new graves appeared behind Imperial Court. They were all past old divine generals.
Shi Hao was quiet. He was always paying attention to Realm Sea, but he still couldn’t guard against an unexpected attack. There was still a Guidance Ancient Palace that could descend like this.
He took up residence in Immortal Domain, watching the golden multicolored brilliance of the sunrise, watched as the setting sun dyed the world blood red, watched as stars swirled, the sun and moon moved about. Many times, a single standing would last many years.
He was sensing his own path, comprehending his own method. He wanted to become stronger, to become a true emperor!
During this period, he also met with his old friends, discussed events of the past and considered the future. Everyone’s minds were extremely heavy, all of them knowing that there was great terror in the Land of Darkness.
Qing Yi also came often. When she was with Shi Hao, everything was extremely calm and peaceful, because there was also the darkness Huo Ling’er.
Now, Shi Hao wasn’t willing to talk too much. In this world, would he still care about having heirs? Everything had to wait until after the darkness chaos ended.
Only, when that time came, when he thought about how there was Yun Xi, Huo Ling’er and Qing Yi, he felt a headache.
The Heavenly Horned Ant had previously mocked him, saying that even the glorious Huang, the half immortal emperor of a generation, had a situation where he felt a headache?
In reality, even Grandpa Fifteen Shi Zhongtian had teased his grandson. The one known as the unrivaled Little Stone was still scared of trifling female matters. At the time, he can just take them all as his wives.
Shi Hao had a bitter smile on his face.
Time was ruthless. After so many years passed, he obtained so much, but also lost a lot. There was regret, but also contentment.
Time continuously went on just like that.
Hong!
That day, heaven and earth shook intensely. Immortal Domain cracked to pieces, the most terrifying disaster happening.
Shi Hao suddenly opened his eyes, releasing great power. He stared into the void, guarding the place where Imperial Court was. In addition, divine might spread outwards, guarding all sides.
“I didn’t seek you out, but who would have thought that you would come knocking on my door yourself!” Shi Hao shouted.
He saw a chest. This was an Origin Ancient Artifact, the one that belonged to the foreign realm. Back then, it was sealed and banished, leaving it in a mysterious space.
After Shi Hao nursed his injuries, he had always been studying the great dao. He didn’t have time to examine it yet, never expecting it to appear on its own today, descending upon Immortal Domain.
When Origin Ancient Artifact approached Shi Hao, it opened on its own. This was naturally a great disaster!
“Suppress!”
Shi Hao shouted, releasing unrivaled divine might. His Law Pool rushed into the heavens to face this chest.
Kacha!
The chest burst open. A bone staff rushed out from within, snow-white like jade. However, there was a sphere of darkness matter swirling around it, hacking over towards Shi Hao.
Today, Shi Hao finally confirmed things, confirmed what level of power this was. It belonged to a half immortal emperor!
“Even something like you dares injure me?”
Shi Hao released a shout. The Law Pool shook, about to suck this bone staff inside.
He blocked that wave of power, sending it to outer space, wishing to fight with it in a place where there was no one around.
However, when Shi Hao left, another chest appeared, descending onto Immortal Domain. It swayed gently and then slowly opened.
This was another Origin Ancient Artifact, the one that belonged to Burial Realm!
“You dare?!”
Shi Hao roared out, using the immortal sword in his hands, hacking outwards, blasting it into outer space.
A bone crown appeared, as if it was the crown of an emperor!
It floated up and down, occasionally turning into a snow-white head. It was like something out of a mirage or dream, leaving everyone shocked.
This was a great disaster for Immortal Domain.
The two chests opened one after another. Even if Shi Hao previously stopped them with all his strength, sending them flying, their radiance still shone over many regions.
Countless creatures wailed, many experts disappearing, turning into scattered ashes and dispersed smoke.
It was because these two chests came intentionally, their radiance extremely dazzling.
It was to the extent where there were two immortal kings who were too close. In the end, they fell, immortal king blood dyeing their lands of seclusion blood red.
Imperial Court also suffered serious losses, the palaces were in ruin. Some heavenly soldiers, divine generals and others all already turned to dust. Under the destructive light of a half immortal emperor, their bodies and spirits perished.
In outer space, Shi Hao roared out. He carried the two chests into Realm Sea, fighting a world shocking great battle.
These weren’t as simple as half immortal emperor magical artifacts.
That bone crown actually took human form, as if a creature was descending into this world. It held the bone staff, fighting intensely against Shi Hao.
After the Age of Emperor Collapse, this was the first half immortal emperor level great battle, shocking past and present. The heavens were shaken, everyone shivering inwardly. This was an unprecedented great event.
“The one who vainly wishes to establish an Imperial Court, die!”
The bone crown became a creature, saying this coldly and ruthlessly.
Shi Hao was furious. Ever since he entered Immortal Domain, he never mentioned the word Imperial Court before. He didn’t feel any fear himself, but he was scared of his old friends suffering.
“With your dao skills, in the end, you are still going to try and establish an Imperial Court.” That creature said coldly.
When he was in the lower realm, the woman on the World Tree previously warned Shi Hao, telling him that it was one thing in the lower realms, it was still in the Mortal Dao Domain, no one would notice.
Once it reached the Immortal Dao Domain, if one still tried to establish an Imperial Court, then there would definitely be a great disaster.
That woman’s ancestor was one of the creators of Immortal Domain’s cultivation system. Several kings established an Imperial Court together, yet in the end, several great clans were wiped out, surrounded by inauspiciousness and disaster.
In the end, only this woman and the Butcher escaped.
“Turns out it was you all who were taking action!” Shi Hao said coldly.
“It is even more serious than you have imagined. The darkness is eternal, everything is experiencing reincarnation!” That creature was cold and ruthless.
“Kill!”
A world shocking great battle erupted. Shi Hao fought a bloody battle against it, this battle continuing until the sun and moon lost radiance, the Realm Sea collapsing. Even the heavens trembled and cried out.
In the end, Shi Hao emerged victorious, suppressing the two Origin Ancient Artifacts, completely sealing them, leaving them for the future to settle.
He quickly returned to Immortal Domain. When he saw the blood covering the ground and the ruined walls, he couldn’t help but release a great roar.
Forget about Immortal Domain’s other areas, Imperial Court alone suffered greatly. Many old soldiers passed away forever, some divine generals’ corpses disappearing, turning into ashes.
There were also large amounts of cultivators who only had half their bodies left, clearly unable to continue living.
It was because there was a terrifying wave of corrosion force that was currently eating away at them.
Roar!
Shi Hao’s hair was dishevelled. He extracted his own half immortal emperor essence blood, using divine force to cleanse everyone, pulling some people back from the brink of death.
He carried aged ruined corpses one after another, his eyes flushing red. These were old soldiers who followed him from the lower realm, yet today, so many of them passed on.
Ah…
Shi Hao roared into the heavens.
Soon afterwards, he knew that there were those who suffered among his old friends as well. Those who fought with him in Desolate Border, who previously shared wine and ate meat with him in the Nine Heavens Ten Earths.
“Heh, haha…” Shi Hao roared with laughter, a bit bleak, a bit hurt. He roared out. “I never established an Imperial Court, purposely avoided doing so, yet there was still this type of disaster brought down.”
“Grandfather, A’man, Chang Gongyan, Mu Qing, Qing Yi… all of you, sleep for now!”
Shi Hao said quietly. He wanted to do something huge, he wanted to seal up all of Imperial Court just like the past Stone Village.
He was preparing to head on his way alone, to slaughter to his heart’s content, until there were no more worries behind him.
“From here on out, there is no one left here.”
“It is only me alone!”
“From today on, Imperial Court will set out!”
“Imperial Court, if I exist, then it exists. Even if Imperial Court only has one person, it should still be established!” Shi Hao roared out, screaming into the heavens. His body erupted with an incomparably terrifying aura, drowning out heaven and earth.
“Come. If you don’t want to appear, then I will slaughter my way over.”
This was a declaration of war. He alone was Imperial Court, challenging the Land of Darkness. There was only a single Huang!
