Domineering

Who was this youth? What kind of background did he have? Quite a few people found what happened incredible. A bird on his shoulder sent the Flaming Bull Race expert flying.

Moo…

A long howl rang out. On the jade stairs outside the palace gates, the expert that was slapped revealed his true form. It was a giant fiery red bull that was scarlet red like blood. It released fiery light as it rushed into the palace.

Those enormous ox horns were bright red like blood, and they were sparkling, translucent, and incomparably sharp. The bull charged at Shi Hao. Even though it was that hateful bird that slapped him, he still wanted to settle things with Shi Hao, because he believed that Shi Hao was the owner of the bird.

“This bull is so stubborn. He just won’t change his target. Is he trying to offer himself to me? I haven’t had any meat for a while. Some beef would be nice,” the big red bird shouted.

With a whoosh, it flew out. Its entire body was pitch-black, and it swooped down like a black sun. Its pair of sharp claws quickly enlarged, which was also a minor divine ability that was obtained from Second Baldy.

Bang!

Sparks flew in all directions. One of the big red bird’s claws struck the bull’s horn, and a clanging sound rang out. An expanse of symbols appeared there, and the other claw was aiming at the bull’s head. Five-colored divine light flickered.

Resplendent symbols blossomed. The big red bird’s sharp claws were about to pierce into the bull’s skull, scaring the Flaming Bull until he trembled. He immediately dropped to his knees.

This bird was too formidable, making the Flaming Bull tremble in fear. He felt that the bird’s divine force fluctuations weren’t that deep, but he couldn’t avoid its attack. Its wings and claws all possessed a type of spirituality, enabling the bird to accurately attack the bull.

“Flying Phoenix Claw!” In the distance, the eyes of a Feather Race’s young expert with emperor blood lit up. His aura immediately flourished, and as he stared at the big red bird, he seemed perplexed.

“What? Is that the phoenix bird divine ability, Flying Phoenix Claw?” On his side, someone cried out in alarm.

Quite a few people looked shocked. As long as creatures like True Dragons and Divine Phoenixes were involved, regardless of whether the precious technique was complete or not, it would definitely be formidable and possess astonishing power.

Even a tiny proportion of the Archaic Vicious Ten’s precious technique could have far-reaching effects. Sometimes, it could allow a sect to flourish.

The Flying Phoenix Claw was a formidable precious technique passed down by the divine phoenix. However, this divine ability had been lost since the ancient era and hadn’t been passed down.

“It’s incomplete and can only be considered a minor divine ability. However, there are a few mysterious changes that are worth looking into,” another person said quietly.

“Little calf, remember this: be obedient, and be a good boy, or else I’ll eat you.” The big red bird released this creature and flew back to Shi Hao’s shoulder.

Everyone was speechless. This bird really was arrogant, and hardly anyone spoke like that.

Shi Hao didn’t say anything and continued to walk toward Princess Qianqian. He wasn’t affected by the battle just now.

When the experts from outside this region saw this, they all seemed shocked. They were more and more amazed by the extraordinary teenager. Even his bird was like this, so as the master, he should be even more formidable.

“Wait!” A cultivator from the Black Cloud Race spoke. He walked over with large steps and said, “Is that precious technique the Flying Phoenix Claw?”

“Is there a need to tell you?” The big red bird looked at him from the corner of its eyes.

Many people watched quietly. Even though the Flying Phoenix Claw was an incomplete precious technique, there were still a few astonishing variations. If it was refined, it would be very valuable.

The Black Cloud Race expert’s face darkened. He genuinely wanted to talk to Shi Hao. No matter what, the big red bird was just a pet raised by this person. He felt that talking to the bird would belittle himself.

“You friend, you really are arrogant. I am talking to you.” The Black Cloud Race’s expert spoke. His eyes were unkind as he stared at Shi Hao.

Shi Hao didn’t pay him any attention at all. Previously, he heard that the Black Cloud Race’s experts wanted to find out his whereabouts through Huo Ling’er, saying that someone from their clan wanted to see him. That was a bit pompous and arrogant.

“How dare you ignore me? You must want to get slapped too!” The big red bird’s eyes flickered with vicious light. It had never been a kind creature.

“Young friend, the Flying Phoenix Claw is closely related to my clan. It was previously a divine ability mastered by my clan’s supreme being. How did your bird obtain it?” The Black Cloud Race expert pressed forward.

“How shameless! You’re just a fellow whose entire body is emitting black smoke, yet you dare to say that this precious technique is your clan’s divine ability. Are you trying to seize it by force? That’s a lousy excuse,” the big red bird ridiculed.

The expert from the Black Cloud Race snorted. When he saw that Shi Hao didn’t turn around to pay him any attention, he activated a precious technique. A cloud of smoke descended.

Scarlet multicolored light flickered within the big red bird’s eyes. One of its wings quickly flapped over to scatter the black smoke, but in the end, it discovered that the clouds were condensed and didn’t dissipate. They surged forward.

“Do you really think that you can do whatever you want just because you obtained a bit of the Divine Phoenix Precious Technique? What a joke!” The Black Feather Race expert sneered. Rolling black mist surged. Not only did it want to surround the big red bird, but it also wanted to suppress Shi Hao.

Suddenly, fiery light surged. Not only was there a Vermilion Bird divine flame, but there was also another type of divine light. It was also something from Second Baldy’s teaching and the big red bird was spitting out from its mouth. It immediately ignited the black mist, making sizzling sounds

“Ah…”

The Black Cloud Race expert backed up, half his body ignited.

Smack!

Following that, the big red bird waved its wings and sent the expert flying with a slap. He also landed on the jade steps outside the great hall.

“Young friend, aren’t you a bit too arrogant? You’re using a vicious bird to injure others. Are you looking down on us?” The Black Cloud Race’s experts all got up and pressed forward.

Everyone seemed surprised. This clan was indeed not to be trifled with. They had produced formidable figures before. Countless years ago, that ancient ancestor fought a great battle against the Western Paradise Sect’s sect master. He used some sort of divine phoenix precious technique, and his divine might was matchless.

Boom!

The big red bird shone, releasing dazzling scarlet multicolored light from its pitch-black body. It was as resplendent as a sun and possessed a terrifying aura as if it could burn down the nine heavens.

This left even Shi Hao shocked. It seemed like Second Baldy’s origins were no small matter. The minor divine abilities it passed down to the big red bird were quite extraordinary.

The Black Cloud Race’s creatures all backed up, intimidated. Their faces went pale. It was such a humiliation. From start to finish, that youth didn’t say anything, yet a bird managed to force them back.

“Don’t provoke me. If you don’t know when to back off, I’ll kill all of you,” said the big red bird.

By then, Shi Hao had already arrived in front of Princess Qianqian and greeted her with the etiquette of a cultivator.

When the people of the Mysterious Region saw him come over at first, they were all quite hostile, but when they saw the power of the “crow” on his shoulder, they all felt a bit apprehensive and didn’t dare to act out.

However, these people still felt a bit uncomfortable. Princess Qianqian was one of the ten beauties of the Mysterious Region, and her reputation was great. Her popularity was especially high among the younger generation.

Now, a youth from the wasteland region was trying to worm his way into being friends with the pearl of the Mysterious Region and tried to strike up a conversation. In the eyes of these young experts, this was a provocation toward them.

“I still haven’t asked for your name,” Princess Qianqian said. There was a gentle smile on her beautiful face, and she was a bit curious about this extremely strong youth.

“I know. That’s the Boss Bird from the Void God Realm. It has a close relationship with Shi Hao!” Suddenly, someone spoke as if he had just woken up.

“What? Aren’t they the shameless duo?” Someone was shocked, and then he shook his head. How could Boss Bird and Elder Jade be so young?

“It’s definitely them. Even the bird on his shoulder behaves the same way. As for their ages, they can conceal them in the Void God Realm,” someone speculated.

Shi Hao didn’t comment. There was a faint smile on his face.

“I’ve long heard that the princess is beautiful and unmatched in her generation. In the Mysterious Region, she’s like a divine moon floating in the sky. Now that I’ve seen you today, I see that your reputation is well-deserved. You’re stunning,” Shi Hao praised the princess.

Everyone liked to hear pleasant words, especially a beautiful woman who liked others praising her appearance. However, Princess Qianqian only smiled faintly and said, “You flatter me.”

“I look forward to the Mysterious Region. I heard that there are many ancient temples and many hidden deities. I’ve always wanted to make a pilgrimage…” Shi Hao brought up the topic, wanting to understand the various powers of the Mysterious Region.

Princess Qianqian didn’t know why he came, but she didn’t look down on him. “The Mysterious Region is indeed a divine land. Since ancient times, we don’t know how many peerless experts were born there. The foundation of the Western Paradise Sect is there. In addition, there are some remains of the Vicious Ten as well as the Immortal Mountain. If you want to go train yourself there, you’ll find many miracles.”

The two chatted, both of them smiling. They looked extremely harmonious.

Right at this moment, the palace gates were pushed open with a boom, and several young cultivators walked in. They were all extraordinary, and the one in the lead even had an imposing appearance. A head of purple hair draped over his shoulders, and when his eyes opened and closed, divine radiance shot out like cold lightning.

He was sturdy, and divine splendor flowed through his pores. His body possessed explosive power, and he was wild. “Who are you? Are you even worthy of sitting at the princess’ side? Get lost!”

Everyone was speechless. This was just too domineering and overbearing!

Even Shi Hao’s eyes turned cold. Ever since he stepped onto the path of cultivation, he had never encountered someone who dared shout at him like this. This fella was arrogant to the extreme.

The big red bird was also stupefied. Talking to the devilish brat like this? In the past, there had never been such an arrogant person. Those who dared to behave atrociously were all eaten, let alone this ridiculous fellow.

Only the people of the Mysterious Region felt apprehensive. They knew this person’s background, which was astonishing. Even Princess Qianqian’s cousin, who was known as a lunatic, was extremely fearful of the power behind this person.

It was rumored that he was the descendant of an important figure from the Immortal Mountain. His actions had always been extremely domineering like this. When he walked in the Mysterious Region, the young disciples of various sects all backed off, not willing to provoke him.

Immortal Mountain was comparable to Western Paradise Sect, and its status was extraordinary. It was an extremely terrifying inheritance!

This sect didn’t cross several regions and didn’t have many members. The important figures rarely entered the mortal world, and the sect didn’t expand outward. However, it was above many great sects in various regions.

This youth had been courting Qianqian. Now that he saw a youth sitting with her, chatting happily, he didn’t even try to hide his hostility. He told Shi Hao to get lost.

“Didn’t you hear?!” Someone beside him chimed in, clearly following this youth’s lead.

“You all are finished!” The big red bird said.

Shi Hao’s eyes widened. His body erupted with a berserk aura. In that instant, those individuals were crushed until their blood and energy surged. They staggered backward. Apart from the young man in the lead, they all coughed out large mouthfuls of blood.

Everyone was shocked. The crow’s master was so formidable!

“You’re finished!” The youth in the lead shouted.

Shi Hao snorted. He reached out, and symbols flickered. With a boom, he pressed down, grabbed the youth, and slapped him.

The cultivators from the Mysterious Region were horrified. Shi Hao had provoked a great disaster by slapping the youth like that. He might implicate quite a few people in the palace.

They knew that the Immortal Mountain was extremely protective of their own. Even though not many of them entered the mortal world, they were all extraordinary experts. The reason why this young man was so domineering was because no one dared to provoke him.

“You…” The young man shouted angrily.

Shi Hao touched the space between his brows and searched his sea of consciousness. He immediately understood a lot. He understood why the young man dared to be so domineering.

“So, he came from the Immortal Mountain. It’s an ancient land that doesn’t have many people but can contend against the Heaven Mending Sect and Western Paradise Sect,” Shi Hao sneered.

He was soon surprised again because he obtained another extremely important piece of information. After his grandfather, the Great Demonic God, entered the Mysterious Region, he eventually ended up in the Immortal Mountain.

“What?!” Shi Hao was shocked. The Immortal Mountain might be related to his mother.

He carefully explored this young man’s sea of consciousness, his face becoming indeterminate. This arrogant and despotic fella might very well have some distant blood relations with him.

That was an unexpected gain. Just now, when Shi Hao was conversing with Princess Qianqian, he was trying to find out more about his parents. He never expected to find such important clues from this dominating young man.

“You dare take action against me…” After the youth was released, his eyes flickered with vicious light. He was incomparably furious.

“Who do you think you are? I’ll teach you how to behave yourself in your parents’ place!” After that, Shi Hao dragged him over and slapped the young man with all his strength. The noise was deafening.

Everyone was stupefied. Was this youth crazy? Was he going to fight Immortal Mountain all by himself?
