Perfect World

Chapter 512: Chapter 512: Show a Small Trick
 

“Hey, where did those two guys go?” Shi Hao rejuvenated, and after the true end of Nirvana, he discovered that the Divine Striking Stone and the Emperor Butterfly had disappeared from his hair.

He leaped down from the tree, broke through the golden light screen guarding the Sun Ancient Tree, and plunged back into the magma below, distributing his Divine Sense to search for them.

“Roar…” Accompanied by a surge of scarlet magma, a crystal-clear stone surrounded by swirling scarlet mist, emitting a faint golden light, cried out strangely.

The Divine Striking Stone was full of surprises. Over the past few days, it had absorbed a large amount of essence, which was extremely spiritual. If seen by others, it would surely make them envious—this was the rough embryo of a top-tier treasure.

It became increasingly extraordinary, flowing with a crisp luster.

If this continued, it wouldn’t even need to be refined; it was a natural-born treasure, evolving into the strongest weapon without the need for any magical array engraving.

Shi Hao beckoned, and it fell into his palm, sleek and translucent, emitting specks of essence, becoming more amazing the more he looked at it.

“One day, this will become a treasured artifact,” he whispered softly, and with a flick of his hand, he threw it into the red ocean below, immediately causing the area beneath to collapse, with endless waves of scarlet surging into the sky.

The Divine Striking Stone cried out, overturning the rivers, glowing red, and zipping back while muttering praises incessantly.

“Big brother, you are the beacon on the road of my life, guiding me through the foggy sea to the Holy Emperor’s Palace, towards detachment…”

Recently following Shi Hao, it had continually encountered opportunities and was now ingrately flattering him, turning into a little red and gold stone and hanging onto Shi Hao’s hair again.

On the other side, the Emperor Butterfly appeared, experiencing a strange fluctuation. It clung to the light screen of the Sun Ancient Tree, drawing golden light, also reaping benefits.

Though it was in the form of a golden bug, there were layers of transparent thin wings on either side of its body, allowing it to fly here.

“With so much Earthflame Liquid here, it’d be a waste not to take some!” Shi Hao manifested his childlike mischievousness, drooling continuously.

Even though he couldn’t use it now, his family and Stone Country needed it. His principle was always: mine, mine, all mine!

He opened the bronze precious box, brought out the stunning Fairy Yue Chan, and used the World’s Treasure Box to absorb the Earthflame Liquid.

“This is…” Fairy Yue Chan, dressed in white, surpassing even snow in purity, so beautiful she didn’t seem of this world, could hardly believe the scene before her.

“Chan Chan, I’m saving up a dowry, and later we’ll have a few children with the strongest bloodlines,” Shi Hao joked, gently touching her smooth chin.

With a dong, a wave of scarlet swallowed the sky, Earthflame Liquid gushing into the World’s Treasure Box, overflowing with Spiritual Energy.

Sadly, the World’s Treasure Box wasn’t very big, with limited space measured in yards, but it was still enough to terrify people since it contained Spiritual Liquid.

In the end, Shi Hao sealed Yue Chan into the Heaven and Earth Pouch.

The fiery poison in the Spiritual Liquid was fierce and hard to withstand, suitable only for the World’s Treasure Box. Shi Hao felt regret, as the Heaven and Earth Pouch had a much larger space.

“Let’s go up too. There is great fortune on the Golden Ancient Tree!” Shi Hao led them, charging towards the boundless grand ancient tree.

The golden body of the tree fluctuated with immense Divine Power. Whether it was the leaves, the branches, or the old bark, all were priceless treasures.

Merely cutting off any piece would yield Divine Power, but unfortunately, it was indestructibly hard, impervious to external forces, not even a piece of golden bark.

The higher Shi Hao climbed, the more he was amazed—this ancient tree was too extraordinary, vast and boundless, especially since each golden leaf cradled a star being nurtured.

“This is a true myth,” exclaimed the Divine Striking Stone.

Perhaps it could be said, a myth was unfolding.

“I understand now; this ancient tree is undergoing Nirvana, it can no longer be called a Sun Ancient Tree, it has transcended itself and is now evolving into a World Tree,” spoke the Divine Striking Stone.

Shi Hao was startled. Was this a recreation of a world?

He also believed it had already surpassed the power scope of the Sun Ancient Tree. This golden colossal tree was massive and undying, almost like it was partaking in the creation of the world.

In the past, the Elder Wood was recognized as the World Tree, connecting all realms and serving as a bridge for gods and men, but unfortunately, it was felled in an unmatched battle.

Centuries passed, was the Golden Ancient Tree also evolving into a World Tree?

“I can’t bite it,” the Divine Striking Stone struggled, gnawing for a long time, but the golden bark remained unmoved.

It could only consume soil or magma-like materials, hoping the tough golden bark resembled those, yet unable to shift it.

The Emperor Butterfly glowed, feeling a strong urgency towards the evolving World Tree, but alas, the tree was sentient, radiating divine light, protecting itself, preventing it from nibbling those leaves.

“This is Divine Medicine; getting a piece would be a huge fortune!” Shi Hao climbed higher, attempting to sever it, but the tree was undying, impossible to cut through.

Though the Emperor Butterfly was defying the heavens, still being in its larval state, it landed on the tender leaves, drawing only a bit of the essence’s golden radiance, nourishing itself.

Still, Shi Hao was deeply surprised, sensing its strength had slightly increased, the transparent thin wings on its golden body gradually crystallizing.

“What a pity, if the Emperor Butterfly could feed on the Sun Tree, it’d surely transform,” he murmured softly.

“Quickly rush upwards, this is the World Tree, not to mention the Chaos Ancient Hall, the tree itself is one of the greatest creations in the world, we might even find World Fruit and such, if we could obtain one, that would be going against heaven,” Divine Striking Stone said.

Shi Hao was moved and rushed upwards swiftly.

This tree pierced through clouds and shattered the sky, a single golden leaf could support a great mountain, it was like entering a fairy-tale world, making everything seem unbelievable.

Shi Hao hurried on his way and saw that the Emperor Butterfly could absorb some of the divine glow from the tender leaves, so he let it wait below, slowly absorbing, perhaps there was a chance for breakthrough.

Several days later, Shi Hao and Divine Striking Stone did not know how high they had rushed, feeling they had already reached beyond the domain. Although they could not fly and could only run, they had traveled endlessly far.

“Shh!”

A dazzling five-colored precious light flashed, and suddenly a Magic Artifact appeared, striking towards the back of Shi Hao’s head, fierce and precise, it was a deer antler, arriving with the divine might of a Venerable One.

Shi Hao shifted his steps lightly, gracefully dodging to one side, and saw a five-colored deer, which had now transformed into a human form, wearing a murderous look, indeed it was it who was sneak attacking.

“It’s you again!” Shi Hao had seen it before.

“You have quite the guts, not even a Venerable One yourself, yet you dare to come here, hand over all your Magic Artifacts willingly, and I will spare your life,” the five-colored deer said straightforwardly, without disguise.

“Why should I?” Shi Hao asked, observing his surroundings, he discovered this was an ancient and boundless battlefield.

Clearly, numerous creatures had come here during the Primeval Times, there were some skeletons on the trunk and branches, and even more were strewn across the golden leaves, making it quite eerie.

This was clearly a Divine Tree, yet the scenes were filled with death.

“Cultivators conquering, the law of the jungle, just because I am a Venerable One, and you are a mere cultivator from the Formation Arrangement Realm,” the five-colored deer said indifferently.

At the same time, it gently tapped, and the deer antler circled back, swiftly enlarging, and pouring down a five-colored divine waterfall, submerging Shi Hao below.

However, to its surprise, Shi Hao’s chest lit up, and then a mysterious character appeared, forming a halo that enveloped him.

The power of the five-colored deer could not break through, and the deer antler even started to crack!

“What power is this?” the five-colored deer was shocked, unable to believe all this.

Very decisively, Shi Hao transformed into a divine rainbow and charged forward, his body surrounded by a Divine Disc built from characters, untouched by all methods.

The five-colored deer repeatedly activated precious symbols, but all were dissolved, like a mud cow entering the sea, unable to break through the light curtain.

Moreover, Shi Hao arrived in an instant, his body covered with densely packed characters, like scriptures, displaying the supreme profundity, carrying supreme divine might to kill.

The five-colored deer was shocked, a mere practitioner from the Formation Arrangement Realm, his Divine Power inside couldn’t possibly compete with a Venerable One, yet why was this precious symbol so terrifying to him?

He turned to flee, for a Venerable One, retreating from a practitioner in the Formation Arrangement Realm was an utter humiliation, but he couldn’t care less at that moment.

Venerable One’s Divine Sense was keen, avoiding misfortune, possessing an unimaginably innate ability. He felt if he didn’t retreat, this strike might endanger his life.

However, he realized it too late, they were too close, his overconfidence from earlier made it difficult to retreat immediately.

And Shi Hao’s speed was too fast, and this precious symbol could also disrupt the five senses of the five-colored deer. As it got closer, it could even strip away its Divine Sense, covering it all of a sudden.

“No!” he screamed.

His protective character light died out, several Treasured Artifacts rushed out from his body one after another, but still, they shattered, in front of that Divine Halo, like decayed wood, directly burst open.

“How is this possible?!” He was filled with horror, a large difference in realm never heard of within the Formation Arrangement Realm practitioners that could topple a Venerable One unless it involved Treasured Artifacts bestowed by ancestors. Yet, this youth achieved it, with just precious symbols!

“Breaking the norms, it’s… the Primordial Supreme!” It was as if he suddenly understood something, he howled trying to break free.

However, those characters fell down, covering him, his body constantly dried up, afterwards burning, and finally transformed into a beam of light, disappearing from there.

“What a freak!” Divine Striking Stone muttered.

Shi Hao pondered for a long time, his confidence in the characters he nurtured surged suddenly, stronger than he had anticipated!

The five-colored deer was searching for relics in this ancient battlefield, it wasn’t strong enough, always following behind, quite cautious, never expecting to encounter Shi Hao, wanting to overpower the weak, but ended up dying in one battle.

Crossing through this ancient battlefield, above was a golden fog shrouding the area, becoming increasingly mysterious, some of the leaves even had pavilions standing, these were left by the ancients.

Additionally, there were also some stone statues, those were tributes to the Sun and the Golden Crow Clan’s mythology.

All of these were built on the golden tree trunk and the massive golden leaves, extremely astonishing.

“We’ve arrived!” Shi Hao saw that Chaos Ancient Hall at the very top, he had nearly reached the top of the Golden Ancient Tree.

At the same time, he saw some figures, appearing and disappearing on a Divine Mountain next to the ancient hall, fiercely combating.

“Another mountain?” Shi Hao exclaimed.

Primal chaos surged, this mountain was intermittently visible, filled with powerful life force.

“This is the World Mountain, bred by the World Tree, a peerless creation, quickly rush up there!” Divine Striking Stone called out. (To be continued.
