Enemies
This mountain was extremely tall. Even though there were ancient trees, they were very sparse. The most eye-catching thing on the mountain peak was that large rock.
Divine flames jumped about. That figure sat there like a blurry image, but the aura he released made all of the birds and beasts in this mountain range feel suffocated.
Those pupils were incomparably sinister. The flickering radiance was scarlet red like fire. He was quiet and unmoving, but it made others feel fear. It was as if a demonic god was cultivating here.
Soon after, several figures appeared. They quickly rushed from the mountain range to the summit. If anyone saw them, they would definitely be shocked, because their speed was too fast.
Moreover, everyone’s blood energy overflowed into the heavens, surging like a sea. They were ridiculously powerful and could intimidate all heavenly talents. They were all pure-blooded creatures with supreme natural talents.
These creatures were incomparably careful after arriving at the mountain peak and showed the figure respect and reverence. They paid their respects, then stood in front of the large rock.
“What happened?” The male seated within the divine flame asked. The scarlet fiery light within his eyes seemed to be able to burn down the heavens, intimidating the entire region. It made those youngsters tremble.
Even though they were pure-blooded creatures, they couldn’t help but back up and almost kneel down again.
A youth respectfully bowed and reported, “We’ve already found her. Fairy Yue Chan is in the Fire Nation’s ancestral land, looking for the liquid left behind by the archaic Vermillion Bird after its rebirth.”
“Is that so? I reckon that she is destined to fail. Someone should have beaten her to it,” said the person sitting on the large rock.
“We’ve already found out that Grandma Xihua is at her side. This old servant is extremely powerful. She’s at the supreme expert realm at least,” added another pure-blooded creature, a bit nervous.
If others knew that a few extremely powerful youths who could move unhindered through the great wastelands and rarely met opponents among their peers were so respectful and fearful in front of another male, they would definitely be shocked to the extreme.
These youths were all well-known figures among pure-blooded creatures. They were known as the number one in their respective clans. As long as they grew up, they would become unmatched.
They all had shocking talent. If they were given another few decades, when they truly reached great heights, with their bloodline power and heaven-warping aptitude, they should be able to influence the rise and fall of a great region!
However, these proud creatures were so respectful at this moment. Toward this man, they didn’t dare to show the slightest bit of disrespect.
The male seated on the large rock said indifferently, “Just an old woman. There is a way to deal with her.”
His voice wasn’t loud and didn’t have much fluctuation, but it carried a type of mysterious power. This world even resonated with his words, rumbling and shaking.
“Won’t this create a huge grudge with the Heaven Mending Sect? At that time, there will be endless troubles,” a youngster gathered his courage and said.
The expressions of the others here all changed, fearing that the man might descend with thunderous fury. No one could defy him. He was always decisive in killing, and no one could go against him.
The person on the large rock didn’t become angry. He calmly opened his mouth and said, “It’s only the spiritual body of fairy Yue Chan. No matter how you treat her after capturing her, it won’t trigger any heavenly shocking waves.”
Those people shivered inwardly. They knew how domineering the man was, but they were also horrified by how powerful he was. He never acted with any restraining fear.
These youngsters all knew his nature. He loved those high and mighty women the most. Two years ago, he hunted down a holy lady from a great sect, forcefully keeping her at his side, which triggered a huge commotion.
In the end, he escaped the great calamity, slaughtering his way through and becoming more and more powerful.
“My lord, that’s just a spiritual body. Why do you want to take such a risk? After all, it is the Heaven Mending Sect! If they feel offended, they might send out a large number of troops.”
The youths saw that he was in a rather good mood, so they said a few more words.
“The spiritual body that entered the wasteland region is different. It’s condensed without dispersing and contains her true spirit. It’s not much different from the true body.” At that moment, he laughed, his voice extremely cold and deep. The scarlet fiery light in his eyes flourished even more as if it was going to burn down the nine heavens!
“I’ll take my time. Start with the spiritual body and let her true body sense it. I not only want her body, but I also want her heart,” said the man on the large rock.
Even though his tone was extremely calm, it still made those youngsters shiver inwardly. They didn’t dare say anything else.
“The gray Flood Dragon went to explore the so-called supreme divine treasury, why hasn’t it returned yet? He should be back by now.” Right at this time, a youth spoke, sounding confused.
“He’s dead,” the male on the large rock said coldly.
“What? The gray Flood Dragon was killed? Have some old monsters gotten here?” Several people were shocked.
They knew that the gray Flood Dragon was extraordinary. Other than some elders, not many people in the younger generation could kill it. At the very least, it could protect itself.
“The moment before he died, I sensed that a youth younger than him removed his head. He was indeed stronger than the gray Flood Dragon,” said the man.
“A youth who is even younger than the gray Flood Dragon. Which sect’s most outstanding inheritor is he?” Several people were shaken.
They couldn’t calm down at all. That person was so young, yet he was able to kill the gray flood dragon. He was definitely a terrifying member of one of the great sects. Otherwise, no one else could do that.
Only a handful of people could do that, and they should be able to deduce who that was.
“It was a native of the wasteland region,” said the man coldly.
The youths cried out in alarm, and then their expressions changed. A native in the wasteland region? It was incredible.
“We’ve just entered this region, so there are many things we don’t understand yet. We’ve only been keeping an eye on fairy Yue Chan, but now, it seems like we need to spend some time and effort to understand this region,” said a youth.
“You can search for him. I hope you can bring him back and have him follow me,” said the man.
“My lord, please don’t worry. We’ll definitely capture him!” One of them’s voices was like thunder. Horns grew on his head, and his aura was exceptionally terrifying.
“Don’t act rashly. You all are stronger than the gray flood dragon, but you might not necessarily be able to defeat that teenager. I do not wish for any more of my followers to fall,” said the man.
“Is he that strong?” Those people were all shocked.
“If you see any traces of him, you can come and report to me,” said the man.
The youths all left. They were like wind and thunder as they tore through the air. Wherever they passed, the plants would explode, and the mountains and rivers would rumble. They were pure-blooded creatures, and their cultivation realms were quite high. They could move unhindered through this great wasteland.
Soon after, the divine flames on the large rock were extinguished. A figure stood up. Upon closer inspection, he actually wasn’t that old. He was in his late teens, yet he possessed a power that could swallow mountains and rivers!
Several thousand miles out, Shi Hao descended from the sky. Large amounts of blood dyed the mountain region red. That gray Flood Dragon was several dozen meters in length. After losing its head, it fell, crushing ancient trees until they snapped, and mountain rocks shattered.
This pure-blooded creature’s flesh was too powerful.
Shi Hao felt sorry. The blood that scattered down was all precious! Fortunately, his movements were fast, and he soon froze the corpse’s blood.
“Kill!”
The remaining creatures roared angrily. Three of them rushed over, wishing to avenge the gray Flood Dragon. There were four others who quickly backed up, wishing to escape far away from this place.
Shi Hao drew his bow like a full moon. A streak of golden light flew out, and with a whooshing sound, it killed one of the fleeing individuals. He controlled the arrow well, and he didn’t make the creature explode. The corpse fell and revealed its original form. It was an enormous vicious beast.
Whoosh!
He drew his bow again, and a second arrow flew out. Without any suspense, a creature’s head exploded, leaving behind an extremely large tiger body.
“Let’s fight it out with him!” The others who wanted to escape turned around and rushed over, joining up with the three from before attacking Shi Hao. They were fighting for their own lives.
There was no suspense in this battle. Even someone as powerful as the gray Flood Dragon, a well-known figure among pure-blooded creatures, could only last 120 moves. He was beheaded by Shi Hao, not to mention the others.
In the end, those creatures were all captured. Shi Hao began to interrogate them, wishing to understand their origins.
The result made his heart jump. Their boss, the gray flood dragon, actually had a “great lord” above him. It was rumored that he was powerful to the point where even young deities were shocked.
“That’s incredible. It seems like there really are some formidable creatures outside this region. Fairy Yue Chan, the witch, and the others aren’t the only ones. I’m not unrivaled yet. There are enemies out there.” She Hao wasn’t the modest type.
Unfortunately, these creatures didn’t know much about that great lord as if they didn’t even dare think about him. They didn’t even have the right to come into contact with him.
Shi Hao carefully interrogated them. After getting all the information, he gave them a quick death, killing them all with a single strike. Several giant corpses appeared on the ground, some were fierce beasts, and some were vicious birds.
This was a cruel great wasteland. Sometimes, it was truly terrifying. The strong preyed on the weak, and the land was full of blood and flames of war.
Shi Hao started off as an innocent child, and he was gradually getting used to it. Otherwise, he would have been eliminated by the great wastelands.
He was in a good mood. A pure-blooded gray flood dragon and a pile of vicious birds and beasts with noble bloodlines were truly a great gift. When he brought it back to the village, it would definitely make the villagers happy.
Shi Hao couldn’t wait any longer. He really wanted to return to the village right now to feel the warmth of home and leave the cruel battle outside.
He brought out the Heaven and Earth Pouch and collected all of his spoils of war. He was completely satisfied. Then, after thinking for a bit, he said to himself, “It’s better if I don’t catch vicious birds as a means of transport. The western border isn’t peaceful, and people actually came for the supreme divine treasury. If I fly in the sky, I might be shot down again.”
He produced a yellow talisman and stuck it to his body. It was an Earth Withdrawal Symbol that he obtained from Stone Country Capital’s auction house.
In that instant, his speed began to soar. Together with the Kun Peng Movement Technique, he left behind an afterimage. Like a streak of lightning, he passed through the mountain range and rushed into the depths of the great wasteland.
He was moving so fast. The Kun Peng technique was already unmatched in this world, known as the world’s fastest speed. Even though he was limited by his current cultivation realm, with the addition of that symbol that could shrink the distance, the effects were astonishing.
Shi Hao’s treasure clothes rubbed against the air, burning into ashes. One could see just how terrifying his speed was!
Within the great wastelands, on top of an ancient tree, there was a powerful vicious bird. It was the nine-colored parrot that had some cultivation achievements. When it saw a streak of light rush over, it rubbed its eyes with all its might.
“Someone is running naked!” The parrot cried out loudly, shocking the entire great wasteland until it began to tremble.
Shi Hao cursed inwardly. Damn that parrot!
He was indeed running naked, but his speed was extremely high. Normal creatures couldn’t see him clearly at all, and only that strange bird noticed him. Its cry made him blush.
However, Shi Hao was quite shameless. He ran as fast as lightning and returned to the village naked. He didn’t seem to mind at all. He looked at Stone Village from afar and saw an enormous willow tree that reached into the heavens. Strands of sparkling green branches swayed. Only then did he stop and put on a set of clothes.
“Stone Village, I’ve finally returned. I’m preparing for battle here and let the Willow Deity protect my body. My true spirit will enter the Void God Realm to fight a great battle!” Shi Hao clenched his fists.
