Who Will Confront Him

When Shi Hao stepped forward, golden lotuses appeared one after another. They were extremely astonishing. Many people’s eyes lit up, and they were greatly shaken.

Only those with profound attainments could produce such scenes when activating techniques. Just how old was this youth? Even supreme experts shouldn’t be able to do that.

This was the result of heaven and earth resonating. Golden lotuses blossomed, and multicolored light and golden mists filled the air. They moved together with him, stalk after stalk, leaving everyone speechless.

A wave of sweet fragrance appeared, making one’s mind tremble!

“No!”

Everyone from the Rain Clan retreated. King Kun, King Lan, and the others also quickly backed away. Shi Hao was charging at them. His killing intent was astonishing.

Whoosh!

The instant Shi Hao raised his hand, the Rain Clan’s representative wanted to dodge, but it was already too late. The scarlet sword energy swept out like a beam of bloody light, slicing him into several pieces.

Blood splashed, and the representative cried miserably. He fell into a pool of blood and died in fear.

It was just too fast. Shi Hao’s strength exceeded everyone’s imagination. It was just a single exchange, yet he already slaughtered an expert in front of so many king-level figures. No one could stop him.

The void trembled, and an expanse of brilliant golden light appeared. The Heaven Mending Sect youth took action. He frowned deeply and took out that golden mace. It was a holy artifact. White mist surged, and its might was terrifying.

At the same time, Western Sect’s short-haired youngsters took action. The alms bowl in his hands shone, and purple mist pervaded the air. That alms bowl was like a black hole, deep and immeasurable, devouring everything.

Bloody light appeared in Shi Hao’s palm. A small scarlet gourd shone, and then it quickly enlarged. With a loud bang, it smashed forward. Shi Hao was using a holy artifact to defend against two.

He loosened his grip. The blood gourd surged with sword radiance, blocking those two powerful holy artifacts. Precious light immediately flickered about, and the three entangled together.

A sweet fragrance wafted through the air. Shi Hao rushed forward, and lotuses appeared with every step he took. These were golden Daoist lotuses, the products of the interaction of the Great Path. Even supreme experts would find it difficult to display them.

It was rumored that when one reached a higher cultivation realm, this would no longer be a strange phenomenon but could instead be turned into fighting power. At that time, a lotus would blossom, and the void would become silent.

Pop!

Shi Hao pointed with his hand. Ten stars linked together, piercing through the divine sun. These were resplendent spheres of lightning. Ten of them linked together, colliding with an even larger sphere of lightning, which erupted with a bang.

“Fall back!”

Everyone cried out loudly. The power of the lightning was too great, and even Formation Arrangement Realm kings couldn’t contend against it. King Kun opened his mouth and spat out a jade tile. This was a magical artifact passed down from his ancestors. After being refined for many years, it was connected to his mind.

However, it exploded with a loud sound. That was the lightning radiance released by the Ten Stars Piercing the Sun, which was incomparable. Purple radiance covered everything, blasting the jade tile until cracks covered it densely, turning it into fine powder.

Shi Hao was unrivaled. Those in the same cultivation realm couldn’t stop him at all. Their most powerful magical artifact was destroyed as soon as it appeared. Moreover, King Kun was scorched, and he almost died.

After this strike, King Kun was severely injured. His entire body was charred black, and he continuously convulsed.

Everyone became apprehensive as they watched. How were they supposed to fight? Shi Hao was only one man, yet he was like a tiger among a flock of sheep. Who could contend against him?

“You won’t get your way!” The Heaven Mending Sect’s youngster shouted. After taking out the holy artifact, he pounced toward Shi Hao to block his unmatched might.

Like a dream, a great dragon threw itself over. It reached out an enormous claw, its might overflowing into the heavens. This was the Dragon Guiding Hand, an incomplete form of the True Dragon Precious Technique.

Shi Hao shivered inwardly. All precious techniques related to True Dragons and Divine Phoenixes, even if they were damaged, had to be paid attention to. Sometimes, they could display extremely terrifying strength.

Even if they were damaged, they could occasionally erupt with endless power, just that it was harmful to oneself as well.

Boom!

Shi Hao flipped his hand. It was a mixed precious technique created for fusion. A large hand covered the sky. He was like a matchless divine monarch as if he had evolved a small world that had endless sword energy.

The Heaven Mending Sect youth’s expression changed. He was surrounded. If not for the fact that the Dragon Guiding Hand was extraordinary and traversed the sky, he would have been buried by the sword energy.

Whoosh…

The sword energy was endless. The large hand descended, covering that True Dragon. As the sword energy surged, it disintegrated the dragon’s body, cutting it into dozens of pieces.

The Heaven Mending Sect’s genius was horrified and quickly backed up.

Shi Hao reached out his hand and pointed. A golden Peng flew out from his fingertip, quickly enlarging and chasing after the youth. The Golden Peng was like a streak of light, moving very fast.

The Heaven Mending Sect youth’s expression was grave, and he trembled. He stopped there, and his hands quickly formed seals. He chanted an incantation, and with a boom, his entire body was enveloped in golden light.

“He’s impervious to all methods. The Daoist bell is protecting him,” someone cried out softly, recognizing that this was an extraordinarily precious technique of the Heaven Mending Sect. This was harmonizing with heaven and earth, condensing void symbols to construct a bell.

All disciples who could display this precious technique were extremely stunning because they had already broken free from the shackles of bone texts, starting to transcend and display their methods.

This youth was extraordinary. He couldn’t compare to Fairy Yue Chan, but his status in the Heaven Mending Sect was special. Otherwise, how could he have such methods?

Bang!

A bell rang out. The golden heavenly Peng smashed into the bell, and divine sounds shook the world. The entire imperial palace was shaking violently.

“You do have some skills.” Shi Hao nodded. If it was an ordinary noble, after suffering the Kun Peng technique’s attack, they would have long exploded. How could they still be alive?

After his strength increased greatly, his eyes were no longer on this mortal world but had long treated the creatures of the upper realms as imaginary enemies.

The young man was a genius of the Heaven Mending Sect. Even so, after suffering this attack, he still felt extremely uncomfortable. His face was pale, and he couldn’t stop trembling. Meanwhile, the bell shattered with a crack.

Shi Hao was about to capture the young man alive.

The young man clenched his teeth. He became faint and turned into a wisp of smoke. Then, it became a silver snake and fled the scene.

“A Flying Dragon Snake?” Shi Hao was astonished. This method was extraordinary. Some cultivators choose different paths. When one reached a certain cultivation realm, they could imitate vicious beasts and divine birds by transforming into them.

Whoosh!

Even though the Flying Dragon Snake escaped, it was still swept by Shi Hao’s sleeve and was badly mangled. It made a mournful cry from the distance, lying on top of a palace, almost losing its fighting strength.

The exchange was extremely fast, and everyone was dazzled. No one made fun of the Heaven Mending Sect’s genius. Even if he was defeated, it was still something to be proud of.

Just now, Shi Hao was terrifying. His attack power was incomparable, and the fluctuations he released made all king-level figures tremble. Only supreme experts could match him.

He became more and more powerful, making everyone shiver inwardly. If he continued to grow like this, who could keep him in check?

Shi Hao didn’t kill the silver snake, instead, he marched forward, wishing to kill King Lan, King Kun, and the others. At the same time, he took action against the short-haired youngster from the other Western Sect.

Whoosh!

With a wave of his sleeve, the Rain Clan’s remaining members were all swept through, and more than ten people turned into a bloody mist. It was difficult for them to endure Shi Hao’s full-force attack.

Shi Hao did this on purpose, not holding back at all. This was a great intimidation, letting the nobles of Stone Country’s capital understand that not even the great sects of the outer regions could protect them.

The scorched King Kun and the deathly pale King Lan both retreated in shock. They were terrified. They were both noble kings, but they were far inferior to Shi Hao.

“Your killing intent is too great. You should purge your inner demons,” the short-haired youth spoke. When his eyes opened and closed, there was a special type of aura. At the same time, he released earthen yellow radiance.

Shi Hao smiled. The young man’s technique was astonishing and extremely valiant. The power contained within his body was like a volcanic eruption as it surged toward Shi Hao.

Few people dared to fight against Shi Hao like this, using only physical techniques. That short-haired youth’s entire body shone, and the earthen color disappeared. He turned into a golden figure and became taller.

In the end, the Western Sect’s youngsters reached three meters in height with a dignified appearance. A terrifying force crushed over.

Shi Hao wasn’t the only one who was moved, and even the others were shocked.

This was the Western Sect’s great divine ability. The Vajra Unbreakable Body’s most perfect form was to transform into the five-meter golden figure. That was the perfect height, and only then would it be the most powerful.

At his age, he was in the Formation Arrangement Realm with a three-meter golden body, and that was extremely shocking. He was definitely one of the sect’s few geniuses.

Bang!

The large golden hand slapped down, colliding with Shi Hao’s fist. The muffled sound made the void rumble continuously.

If not for the protection of the central heavenly palace’s great formation, the place would have definitely exploded.

Meanwhile, the other kings all backed up, their faces pale. This was just a collision of flesh, yet it already made their souls tremble. It really was a great terror.

The two moved quickly, using body techniques. Their legs collided, and they kept exchanging blows.

The Western Sect’s short-haired youth coughed out a mouthful of blood and flew outward. After several dozen collisions, he finally lost his ground, and his golden light scattered.

“Impressive!” This was Shi Hao’s evaluation. In the same cultivation realm, few people could stay alive after exchanging so many blows with him.

Shi Hao moved forward. Every step he took produced a golden lotus, and a sweet fragrance wafted through the air. It was as if he was a naturally born immortal. With the golden divine lotus, he was ethereal and agile as if he was an otherworldly immortal.

Whoosh!

He was extremely decisive. With a wave of his large sleeve, all of the cultivators were turned into ashes.

King Kun and King Lan’s faces were as pale as snow. The people they brought were all dead. Their eyes were filled with fear as they asked the Heaven Mending Sect and Western Sect for help.

“They can’t even protect themselves, so why would they save you?” Shi Hao said coldly. A streak of lightning shot out from his palm, and with a boom, it covered them, blasting them into ashes.

The scene was completely silent. What was unrivaled power? Shi Hao gave the best explanation. Who in the same cultivation realm could face him head-on? It was difficult to find an opponent in this world.

Boom!

A rumbling sound rang through the void. The three holy artifacts collided, and two of them no longer attacked. They fell down, wishing to bring their respective masters away.

After their masters’ divine senses weakened, it affected them, and they wished to escape.

Shi Hao snorted. The scarlet gourd swayed, surging with sword energy. It swept through the sky, severing the connection between the two holy artifacts and below.

His body was like a Kun Peng as he used his fastest speed to rush over. He reached out a large hand, immediately suppressing the Western Sect youth and Heaven Mending Sect’s genius that turned into a silver snake.

The scene was completely silent. The Western Sect and Heaven Mending Sect’s people had all been captured. The remaining people were all trembling. How were they supposed to resist?

What made Shi Hao regretful was that the two holy artifacts escaped, rushing out of the imperial palace. He gave that direction a look, knowing that someone was guiding them, but he didn’t pay much attention to it.

Scarlet multicolored light swirled about. He used the red gourd to collect the geniuses of the two great sects from the outer regions, sealing them within.

Everyone was petrified. When they saw Shi Hao turn around, all of them felt extremely uneasy. Some of the kings who were siding with the outer regions’ great sects all backed up.

“We admit our mistakes,” someone spoke.

Shi Hao sneered. He raised his right hand, and a Kun Peng flew out. With a boom that covered heaven and earth, it struck three of them, making them explode.

The three noble kings died on the spot, leaving behind bloody chunks on the ground.

“You admit your mistakes, but your eyes say differently. What’s the point of keeping you all alive?” He said softly, leaving everyone horrified.

“We’re leaving! We promise!” There was still a group of noble kings who defected to the outer regions’ great sects. Right now, they were all truly scared and regretted their decision.

As for the other aristocrats, those who didn’t collude with the outer regions were still rather calm. They remained silent and watched quietly.

Shi Hao turned around and walked toward the central heavenly palace. It was because he felt a calling. This should be something left behind by the Stone Emperor that resonated with him.

The kings all felt reverence, and no one dared to stop him. They watched as he walked toward the golden heavenly palace.

From behind, several figures appeared. Heaven Mending Sect’s Fairy Yue Chan, Western Sect’s linen-clothed youth, and Immortal Mountain’s youth arrived together. The world seemed to have become different.

Before Shi Hao entered the heavenly palace, he turned around and gave them a cold look. His battle intent surged, and his entire body flickered with holy multicolored light. He gave the three of them a look before entering the golden heavenly palace.
