Chaos

A tall and slender figure was strolling along the Archaic Divine Mountains, overlooking the Nine Heavens. There was a type of aloofness to his transcendence. It was precisely the Willow Deity.

“This mountain, this water, this heaven and earth, in the end, will be destroyed.” She (he) said softly.

She (he) didn’t pay any attention to the disputes between the Celestial Race, Golden Peng, and other great clans. She (he) only walked on the Heavenly Divine Mountain because she (he) saw a person’s footprints.

That was a heavenly genius who once stood at the peak of the divine path. He was supreme and known as a taboo. Everyone thought that he had died, yet there were traces of his footsteps on this Heavenly Deity Mountain.

That was half a stone. The footprints on it were indistinct, yet the Willow Deity could clearly sense that this was left behind by that person’s serious injuries back then.

It was a sharp intuition. Through the foot imprints, wisps of silver radiance appeared in Willow Deity’s eyes, together with primal chaos. Then, Willow Deity saw scene after scene.

“The archaic formation was left behind by you, using the Gate of Life to escape death. Or are you still in this world?” The Willow Deity looked around as if she (he) could see through the wasteland region. She (he) was searching, wishing to see that person again.

“Is what you said true?” A loud and clear voice came from the distant palaces. The True Hou Race’s experts arrived and asked Shi Hao. These people’s auras were terrifying, and their strength was shocking.

It was a teenager. There was a layer of light on the surface of his body as if he was cast from brass. He was extremely young, less than twenty years of age, but he had already been conferred the title of king. He was an expert at the Formation Arrangement Realm.

This race was powerful, just like the Golden Winged Peng. They were known as heavenly-ranked archaic vicious beasts, descendants of heavenly-ranked vicious beasts. They even had pure-blooded heirs, so they could naturally intimidate the wasteland region.

From a certain perspective, they existed at the very top of the pyramid. They were invincible within the wasteland region, and no one was willing to provoke them.

“Yes. Defeat a Golden Peng, and you’ll get an additional quota to cross realms,” Shi Hao said with a smile.

Hou Tian shot him a look of disdain and said, “Instead of doing that, can my clan force you instead? I’ll direct you and that bald bird. Can’t I just have as many spots as I want?”

“Do you think I’m someone easy to bully? I can have the Golden Peng for dinner, so why would I care about you?” Shi Hao wasn’t polite at all. “I’m using your force and haven’t immediately fallen out with them because I just want to give them more trouble.”

“You are horrible.” Hou Tian rolled his eyes. Even though he said this, he found this brat so amiable. In fact, he didn’t like the Golden Peng Race either.

Then, the Green Luan Clan’s people came. They were quite close to the Heavenly Divine Mountain, or else they wouldn’t have joined hands and gone to the Northern Sea to explore the Kun Peng nest.

These people didn’t have good expressions toward Shi Hao. If they hadn’t sensed something, they would have taken action a long time ago. There were some among them who really wanted to kill this human teenager.

A total of six or seven pure-blooded races arrived one after another. Back then, they were all classified as gods and devils, and all of them had produced heavenly deity experts.

“Hey, Jin Yunxiao, come over here. Let me see if you’ve made any progress in the past two years!” Hou Tian shouted, making everyone stunned. They never expected him to truly take action, wanting to challenge the Golden Peng Race’s cultivators.

“Nonsense!” An elder from the Hou Race shouted. He was extremely powerful and hadn’t turned into a human. His entire body flickered with black light, and his black fur was shining. His aura was terrifying.

When he spoke, all types of symbols appeared on the surface of his body like a ring of light, making him look like a beast deity.

In the distance, Shi Hao was drooling. This was a rarely seen pure-blooded Black Hou. If he could obtain a piece of skin or a piece of primordial symbol bone, then he would be rich.

“Brat, how dare you drool at me?!” The Hou Race elder was so angry he widened his eyes.

“No, senior, you’re mistaken. I definitely didn’t do that. I just feel that it isn’t good for you to discipline your descendants like this. Why aren’t you letting him do what he wants?” Shi Hao wouldn’t admit no matter what.

The experts of the other clans also stared at him because they had long noticed his strange gaze. He actually dared to drool over these old clan lords. How bold!

Soon after, Peng’s roars shook the heavens, and golden feathers withered away. The Peng Clan’s young expert, Jin Yunxiao, was defeated in the rear mountains. He was barely alive as he was carried back.

“Hou Tian, you little bastard! How dare you take action?!” The clan’s elders berated him.

“Brother Hou is truly a hero. When the time comes, you can invite anyone, and I’ll give you an extra spot,” Shi Hao spoke.

“Good!” Hou Tian first received a scolding and punishment from the chief, and then he received a promise from Shi Hao.

Then, a few more troublemakers jumped out from the great clans, seriously injuring the Golden Peng Race’s people. It was clear that those who dared to step up were all extremely powerful individuals.

After just one day, the Peng bloodline took a hard blow. Even though not many were injured, for them, it was still such an embarrassment.

“This brat is so arrogant. Does he think Golden Winged Peng won’t kill him?” An elder’s face darkened.

As for Shi Hao, he almost forgot about this matter. He just didn’t like the Peng Race, so he purposely did this. Now, he threw himself into the “great undertaking of formations”.

The Golden Peng, True Hou, Green Luan, and other races all had abundant collections. The divine materials they brought over were sparkling and shining, piling up into a small mountain. It was so alluring.

A seductive voice rang out by Shi Hao’s ears from time to time, telling him to go up and help, and then steal a portion.

“No!” In the end, Shi Hao became clear-headed. He could resist the temptation and firmly refused the little pagoda.

“It’s my chance to take action. The divine material is right in front of you. Do you want to miss it?” The bone pagoda guided him patiently.

In the end, the Willow Deity came. It gave the little pagoda a look and didn’t say anything, making the pagoda feel embarrassed. It felt that bewitching a teenager wasn’t right.

“The Heavenly Divine Mountain is a bit off. Let’s leave as soon as possible.” Willow Deity warned Shi Hao and Second Baldy.

This surprised them. How powerful was the Willow Deity? Its words were worthy of caution. The two of them nodded, indicating that they understood.

“There are still three materials missing. You all should hurry up and collect them,” Second Baldy said.

“Roar…”

Right at this moment, a roar came from the rear mountain. A golden-winged Peng rushed into the heavens, and behind it was a Suan Ni. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and the great battle was exceptionally intense.

Rogue cultivators came. They happened to hear that the Peng Race was defending the arena. As long as one of them was defeated, the winner could step onto the formation and cross realms. As a result, there was a conflict.

Shi Hao was stupefied. He had thought that no one would shed all pretense of cordiality and that at most some younger generation would stir up trouble. He never expected an extremely vicious individual to appear.

This Suan Ni wasn’t pure-blooded, but it had forcibly advanced to the Supreme Expert Realm. Its strength was terrifying as it suppressed a Golden Peng. Feathers flew everywhere, and golden light shone resplendently.

The final result was that the Suan Ni won. Electric radiance crackled all over its body. Of course, it was almost crippled as well and suffered serious injuries.

“Do you think Peng Race is easy to bully?” An elder’s face darkened. Killing intent pervaded the air. Apart from the teenager Jin Yunxiao, the other Golden Pengs that were defeated were all half-blooded creatures. No one dared to challenge the core members of this race. After all, they were a heavenly-ranked race.

However, in the end, such a situation changed. Several great clans’ leaders appeared, warning a few youngsters that they couldn’t act randomly.

Meanwhile, Shi Hao didn’t bicker too much because he couldn’t care less. The Willow Deity urged him again, telling him not to stay here for too long. Even the little pagoda said this.

“Hurry up and give them the armguard. This formation is a bit strange. Be careful not to provoke great karma!” This was the little pagoda’s warning.

In addition, it produced symbols for Shi Hao for once, allowing this place to become transparent and visible. A few mysteries were revealed.

Ever since Second Baldy used divine materials to repair the formation, there was a wave of indescribable energy that surged here. Meanwhile, not far out, there were footprints on a rock that became more and more real.

“This is a summoning of a taboo existence. If the formation is repaired, it’s hard to say what will happen,” The little pagoda spoke in a grave tone.

“Who is it?” Shi Hao asked.

The little pagoda shook its head, indicating for him to ask the Willow Deity. The pagoda was damaged and has lost several layers of its body. Its old memories were damaged.

“Willow Deity, will there be danger here?” Shi Hao asked. If that were the case, would there be any meaning in repairing this formation? It wouldn’t destroy Yun Xi and the others’ clans, would it?

“The Celestial Clan will be fine. Perhaps they really can leave because the owner of this formation has a great connection with this clan. It’s hard to say for the other clans,” said Willow Deity.

Around the formation, strand after strand of white mist surged. It was extremely mysterious. Apart from Willow Deity and the little pagoda, no one else could see it at all.

Shi Hao borrowed the little pagoda’s divine ability, and only then was he able to take a look. He immediately sensed the mysterious aura. In addition, he saw a footprint in the distance, as if someone could step through the heavens at any time and descend.

Shi Hao was horrified. He felt that being at odds with some pure-blooded creatures really wasn’t a problem. Compared to the mysterious event, it was completely negligible.

What was going on? What exactly did the wasteland region have that was worth a few taboos and making a few great figures plot against them? What did this realm have that attracted them?

He had a feeling that the wasteland region was about to become chaotic. Perhaps it was just like what the Willow Deity said. It would be different from the past. Perhaps everything in the past would be overturned.

“Let’s go. Cut off all your connections. Don’t provoke any karma.” The little pagoda spoke. It had a method that could obliterate everything.

This was completely different from what Shi Hao had expected. He still wanted to go all out, but who would have thought that he would receive such a warning, telling him that he couldn’t stay here for too long?

He even wanted to work together with Second Baldy to collect tolls here. Whoever wanted to enter the formation would have to pay the toll first. That scene made him drool, but now, he discovered that it didn’t work at all. He had to leave.

Boom!

Suddenly, an indescribable feeling transmitted through the little pagoda, making Shi Hao tremble as well. For some reason, he felt a chill run down his spine.

“What happened?” He couldn’t help but ask.

“The great calamity is about to begin,” The little pagoda said softly.

“Why can’t they feel it? Can I predict it in advance?” Shi Hao’s mind was shaken, but at the same time, he was extremely confused.

“It’s because I’m living in your hair. Through my aura, you can also sense it,” the little pagoda calmly said.

Shi Hao understood that the pagoda wasn’t as calm as it seemed. It was also on guard when feeling great pressure. Was the great calamity making the pagoda nervous?

“You are also worried?” Shi Hao asked.

With a rumbling sound, Shi Hao’s eyes felt pain. He saw a streak of light flash across the heavens, even more dazzling than lightning or even the sun.

“What is that?” He was a bit nervous, his expression serious.

“There are great experts in the higher realms who are testing things out. That is a spatial crack, and ordinary people cannot sense it. You are benefiting from me.” The little pagoda was incomparably solemn.
