Chapter 1989 - Darkness Imperial Court
Behind the dam was the Land of Darkness, not only in name, but also in reality. There was an expanse that was pitch-black like ink, impossible to see the limits. It was as if he arrived at the very edge of the universe.
There was no life force here, nor was there any flow of essence. It was deathly still like a dead country. Meanwhile, Shi Hao continued onwards alone.
The most terrifying thing was that the great dao laws changed. If other immortal kings came, even though their dao skills might not completely disappear, they would still encounter great trouble.
If one wanted to adapt to this place, they needed to try extremely hard, sense the great dao laws of this place.
Otherwise, their own magical bodies might break apart!
Shi Hao remained fearless because he used the body as a seed. No matter how the world around him changed or how the dao laws altered, he would still remain fearless. He sought out the internal dao.
Hong!
Shi Hao took action. A streak of light swirled about, cutting through the sky. He wanted to gaze into the limits of the darkness, but soon afterwards, a powerful wave of power descended onto this world, blasting towards his magic and dao.
Darkness became everlasting. That streak of light disappeared!
Up ahead, streak after streak of darkness divine chains of order interweaved like chains. They carried a demonic nature, flickering with dark light, quickly rushing over.
Shi Hao stood there without moving, allowing the power of the world of darkness to invade. Ripples began to surge along his body, this caused by the most dense darkness source.
Qiang!
All of the darkness divine chains of order went perfectly straight like spears, carrying dark light and a chilliness as they pierced through the void and arrived, extremely terrifying.
Outside Shi Hao’s body surged an expanse of light, protecting him within, impervious to all techniques.
Kacha!
All of the darkness divine chains of order broke apart inch by inch outside Shi Hao’s body, bursting open and turning into specks of dark light. Then, they began to surge intensely, completely erased.
Shi Hao took steps forward, walking through this ancient darkness land, heading into the distance. There were demonic great mountains that were pitch-black like ink, towering into the heavens, as well as great rivers that were dark to the point of making one feeling an eeriness, quietly flowing past.
Shi Hao walked forward. Along the way, he saw other creatures!
However, they were all dead, passed away who knew how many tens of thousands of years ago. Their bodies were ice-cold, not moving at all. Some of them were massive like mountains, some of them the height of a normal person.
In the depths of Shi Hao’s body, everything was icy-cold. He saw several corpses, all of them at the immortal king level. In addition, they were the incomparably powerful type.
Without a doubt, all of them were giants. Under the temptation of an opportunity, they climbed ashore, but in the end, they couldn’t make it that far before perishing.
With a light touch, several corpses suddenly turned to ashes, directly scattering.
These were the most powerful creatures of millions and millions of years, yet in the end, their ending was so tragic.
Some of them came here for the sake of quelling the darkness chaos, some so they could break through and become immortal emperors, but in the end, they still all reincarnated into dust.
Hong!
Suddenly, the black ashes began to quickly swirl about, becoming a demonic dragon at Shi Hao’s side. It was pitch-black like the color of an abyss, roaring, throwing itself towards Shi Hao.
This was that creature from just now. It clearly just turned to ashes, but now, it suddenly reappeared, moreover erupting with world shocking power.
Peng!
Shi Hao raised his hand, directly gripping this darkness demonic dragon’s body with a single grab, moreover gripping its massive head. With a gabeng noise, a dragon horn was torn off.
It was indeed not an illusion, it truly revived, reconstructing its body.
Roar!
A dragon cry sounded, shaking the heavens above and the earth below. The darkness storm completely erupted, this place starting to shake.
It actually released half immortal emperor power. It struggled fiercely, attacking at Shi Hao.
“Made by natural laws, possessing life by borrowing a body, yet you still dare to act viciously!” Shi Hao released a light shout, unaffected.
With a hong noise, he fiercely shook his arm. That black darkness dragon in his hands immediately split apart, releasing black demonic blood, scattering across the great earth.
This was caused by heaven and earth will, the secret force that already attacked him before condensing into a tangible body, displaying vicious might here, wishing to take his life.
“Nothing more than this, just half immortal emperor laws. Nothing more than laws that I can make use of.” Shi Hao released a short shout. Then, his body shone, becoming extremely brilliant, illuminating the darkness, the aura just too shocking.
The entire Dam World seemed to have become a land of radiance. It was also cracking apart, bursting here.
Pu!
Shi Hao twisted apart this demonic dragon’s body, black blood surging, erupting like a volcano. This was the ravaging of half immortal emperor laws.
Honglong!
Heaven and earth exploded, on this ancient land, darkness source surged. It was as if an underworld palace descended, erasing all life force in this world.
This was especially the case when the darkness dragon’s ruined body exploded. The half immortal emperor laws tore apart the sky dome, as if it was destroying everything indiscriminately, wishing to drag Shi Hao down to hell with it.
If it was the immortal kings, after suffering this attack, they would have already died, body and spirit erased, nothing left. After all, this was a half immortal emperor law eruption.
However, Shi Hao’s entire body swirled with a layer of brilliance. Regardless of whether it was black ruined blood or those dao law chains, none of them could harm him in the slightest.
He began to walk forward. All of the other remains that turned to ashes didn’t recombine, allowing him to walk over.
This was a dark and gloomy world. When the battle ended, there was no more sound. Black death energy swirled about, spreading throughout, carrying some black mist as it swirled about a mountain.
This mountain was too large, many times greater than the stars that could normally be seen. It towered there, blocking the path ahead.
Shi Hao stepped on the void, ascending this mountain. He saw giant stars moving around this mountain one after another, dense and numerous. Meanwhile, above the mountain, there were some divine medicines that were pitch-black like ink, long corroded through.
Even divine medicines were like this?
If there were other creatures who stepped foot here, what would it be like then? One could only imagine it!
Then, he saw a stalk of long life medicine. Unfortunately, it was also pitch-black, moreover releasing a wave of strange aura. It was too shocking, completely turning to darkness.
It was as if Shi Hao was walking on level ground. He wore completely white clothes today, so while walking through this pitch-black world, his body was exceptionally eye-grabbing. He walked on the void, continuing step by step, leaving this great mountain.
He truly began to continue, advancing towards the Land of Darkness’ inner areas!
His white clothes were like snow, too striking in the darkness. As long as there were creatures who looked over, they would definitely see his lone self walking within the pitch-black source.
Then, Shi Hao’s speed became faster. As a half immortal emperor, with a raise of his feet, the starry rivers would swirl about and the sun and moon would disappear into the distance. He possessed the greatest power and speed in this world.
At the very least, while moving through this world of darkness, this was the case.
Shi Hao continued. Then, he saw some remains, no idea what era they came from, passed away who knew how long ago. Many of them already turned into ashes.
As he continued forward, more and more skeletal remains appeared.
When he looked forward again, there was an endless sea of bones, most of them snow-white colored, as if a world covering great snow just fell. This scene was exceptionally striking in the Land of Darkness.
Of course, there were also other colored bones in this sea of bones, for example, golden ones, black ones, purple ones, but compared to the white bones, they were much fewer.
Shi Hao picked up some bones. After carefully examining them, he was inwardly moved, even his half immortal emperor mind slightly shaken!
These bones weren’t simple. It wasn’t because of their cultivation levels when they were alive, but rather because of their potential. These bones were extremely suitable for cultivation, yet in the end, they were arranged here.
Inside the bone matter, there had long been a strong darkness force that corroded over, condensing into one body, impossible to neutralize.
He carefully examined everything. What differences did these creatures have compared to the Nine Heavens Ten Earths and Immortal Domain?
He had seen all of them before. These clans still had inheritances in the present world. Apart from some especially old existences, he could recognize most of them.
Shi Hao’s mind was heavy. His pupils turned into sharp sword radiance. Half immortal emperor power surged, his body erupting with waves of terrifying killing intent.
These creatures, could it be that they all came from the other side of Realm Sea? In the end, they were corroded by the darkness, forcefully gathered here?
Guidance Ancient Palace could connect the two shores of the sea, are these the creatures who were previously lost and fell into darkness? After so many of them were brought over, were they then eliminated and washed out, or were they cruelly killed!
Shi Hao suspected that he might have touched upon the truth, about to approach the final destination.
He continued forward through the boundless Land of Darkness. It was massive beyond comparison. The following path was actually lacking of any plant life, completely bare, not a bit of life force visible.
This land was vast and limitless, stretching out for millions and millions of li. Everything quickly disappeared under Shi Hao’s feet.
His white clothes fluttered about, his bearing imposing. Even though he looked young and handsome, his eyes were always like immortal swords, releasing dazzling radiance.
Finally, he arrived. He saw large amounts of buildings. They were giant and massive, unknown which great era they came from, extremely imposing and intimidating. All creatures who walked here would be suppressed, forced to kneel and kowtow.
Shi Hao stopped, his eyes becoming cold.
There was endless darkness and mist surging. He saw an enormous palace that stretched out without limit, blocking his path forward.
There are rumors in the world that only by crossing the Land of Darkness can the ultimate ancient land be reached. Is this just a rumor, or is this truth?
Shi Hao stared ahead. He felt a type of pressure here, but if one wanted him to kneel and kowtow, that was impossible!
Without a doubt, there was half immortal emperor level power here!
Shi Hao continued forward, approaching the palace clusters. His mind immediately trembled. He saw a monument that was bloody, on it written two words: Imperial Court!
This blood was black-colored. That monument carried time great dao symbol fragments, swirling with darkness source power.
In reality, this massive palace cluster stretched out for who knew how many tens of thousands of li. The palaces released heavy death energy, as well as endless darkness power.
“Darkness Imperial Court!”
Shi Hao said coldly. This was definitely not an ordinary palace cluster, long fallen into darkness.
His mind immediately sunk. He actually encountered an Imperial Court here, this was too terrifying. It carried half immortal emperor might, yet in the end, it was actually lifeless, no human figures to be seen.
This place was too vacant, not a single creature to be seen inside!
This continued until he approached the central palace, this place finally having some activity. There was suddenly a voice, ancient, drawn-out and threatening, making even Shi Hao shiver inwardly.
“Those who make a pilgrimage here are pious and sincere, kowtowing with each step as they arrive from the other shore, all just to have an audience with this one. Why have you come with killing intent?”
“Pilgrimage? Who are you?” Shi Hao asked coldly.
“Emperor!”
There was only this single word. That voice was too horrifying, as if an unmatched monarch was questioning him, looking down on him. It was enough to make all creatures in this world tremble, their bodies and spirits crushed into powder by a single will.
This was a living existence. Within these massive palaces, he was the only one alive, claiming to be an emperor!
He was high up above, dignified and sacred. He still didn’t reveal his figure yet, only releasing this type of unrivaled aura that overlooked the endless past.
A true emperor was here?
Shi Hao’s pupils contracted, his expression grave. However, he didn’t feel any fear at all. He was a half immortal emperor, he had his own confidence, his own unmatched presence!
Why would he feel any fear? He looked forward, starting to advance!
