Perfect World

Chapter 514: Chapter 514: Karma
 

The pure white Jade Cauldron was only the size of a fist, with three drops of Golden Liquid rolling inside, enveloping glimmering dawn colors, a golden mist pervading the air, rising and steaming, with a fragrant scent assailing the nose.

Shi Hao grabbed it in his hand, and after taking a whiff, momentarily felt an illusion akin to transcension, his body ethereal, floating light and airy.

“Clang,” he pressed down the lid, swiftly packed away the small cauldron, and the fragrance that could intoxicate even Venerable Ones slowly dissipated.

“How dare you!” A loud shout came, and at the same time, a green light attacked, cutting through the light fog and arriving in front of Shi Hao.

“Clang!”

With a flick of his hand, Shi Hao released a character that blossomed into a silver shield, colliding with the green light, making the place instantly as splendid as fireworks.

It turned out to be a Ghost Vine, its name revealing its ghostly unpredictable maneuvers and powerful Divine Power. It was emerald green, droplet-like, with a body like a horned dragon, hugely thick, a Venerable One of the plant kind, in addition to the Ironblood Ancient Tree.

Just now, it had swung a vine, emitted a deep green radiance like a Sword of Light chopping down, but it was blocked and did not harm Shi Hao’s body in the slightest, as swathes of characters shattered.

“Aooou…”

Beside him, a loud roar echoed. The golden giant was enraged, characters densely packed in the air, golden precious blood surging like a fiery furnace burning and compressing the vast sky.

The giant golden giant, with a body huge enough to uproot mountains, could walk with great mountains in hand, possessing boundless strength. Yet just now, he had been pushed aside by Shi Hao, who took the central position and missed out on the Solar Divine Liquid. His enormous fist came smashing with boundless vital blood, the roaring sound deafening, as if a golden ocean wave was crashing down.

A flash of black light crossed Shi Hao’s body as he fused with a black figure as tall as his fist, donning the Undying Golden Body Battle Garment, deeply trapped in the encirclement but cautious, he did not back away and met the fist with his own.

“Boom!”

The two collided, the sound made ears ring as if waves were slapping the shore, as if an angry surge was striking the heavens.

The ground trembled slightly, the golden giant stepped back, his fist bleeding, his steps unsteady. Each time he landed, the ground trembled slightly, showing just how great the force was. If it were another mountainous region, it would have already cracked apart and the ridges would have collapsed.

Everyone was shocked. What kind of strength did this delicate youth possess? He made a golden giant retreat, with weighty steps—an astonishing feat.

This time Shi Hao had not utilized the Supreme Bone, for he had already mostly gauged the bone’s strength. Maintaining a bit of mystery was better, to be a trump card, lest others see through it all.

“Undying Golden Body, a rarity from the Primeval Times!” A genius from the higher realms exclaimed, deeply surprised. They had vast experience, some people’s eyes were instantly shining. This kind of war instrument was extremely rare, even in the old days, it was considered a treasured possession, and with the passage of time, it became even scarcer.

“No wonder he was able to battle a Venerable One in the Formation Arrangement Realm. With the Undying Golden Body in hand, he could break free from fetters and boost his battle power indefinitely,” Zhao Qi whispered, with a glint of brilliance in his eyes.

Earlier, Shi Hao manifested a precious symbol, runes blossoming from the Supreme Bone and forming a Divine Halo that enveloped his body—unseen by anyone. Now, some misinterpreted it as the might of the Undying Golden Body on display.

It was said that the Undying Golden Body could be inscribed with various Arrays, and combine precious symbols to unleash extremely powerful techniques.

Some thought they understood, feeling they had a measure of it, yet unaware that the Undying Golden Body was damaged, its inscribed Arrays unmanifest, and all the prowess came from Shi Hao’s own Supreme Bone.

“Capture him!” The Ghost Vine was the most resentful, having nearly succeeded, but Shi Hao snatched the Jade Cauldron away, losing three drops of Golden Liquid.

In just an instant, it produced a pitch-black flower, black mist filling the air, obscuring everything in sight, and even twisting the void.

The Ghost Vine struck, unpredictably extending vines in the black mist, sneak-attacking Shi Hao with divine radiance blossoming, where the thudding sound was incessant.

Shi Hao countered continuously, clashing with the vine.

“Kill!” The Silver Lion, the Archaic Golden Crow, and others also made their move, all sorts of lustrous lights shining as they all sought to take down Shi Hao and reclaim the Golden Liquid.

Apart from these, Xuan Ming, Bi Gu, and others also sprung into action, each bringing out treasures, surging through the battlefield in an instant, divine light dancing, Treasured Artifacts sweeping the sky.

A grand melee erupted!

Shi Hao was in the midst of it, but was not passive. He also unleashed a technique. Besides emitting lightning, the Suan Ni could also breath out clouds. In his very young days, he had used it in Stone Village.

Moreover, this mist was quite special. Immersed within it, even sharp eyes could not penetrate, making one very passive.

“Crack!”

Shi Hao took action. Purple-golden lightning erupted, attacking indiscriminately, transforming the area into a world of lightning in an instant, interweaving electric threads, causing many to roar in anger.

Cloud vapor surged, instantly enveloping.

Indeed, this purple fog, like the Ghost Vine’s black mist, fooled one’s eyes, causing many to shiver. And it also severed both Divine Sense and instincts and perception, very bizarre.

“Damn it!”

With that, the scene became even more chaotic. Everyone, for self-preservation, would not allow others to approach, unleashing powerful precious symbols and shielding themselves with treasures.

“Clang!”

Magic Artifacts clashed, sparks flying.

“Ah…” Someone screamed.

The smell of blood filled the air as fresh blood was flung high, obviously someone was slain in this battle, the scene becoming even more chaotic.

People began to retreat, heading determinedly in one direction, fleeing at high speed, not willing to be trapped in a perilous situation, this kind of battle where one was blind and stripped of instincts and perception was unsettling.

“I know you’re here!” the Ghost Vine sneered, it was adept at this technique; the black mist spread, and naturally, it had the corresponding ability to distinguish and found Shi Hao’s true body.

Furthermore, it used a secret technique to inform others, and they moved forward to encircle him, with the aura of a Venerable One surging torrentially, the divine power rumbling fiercely, very intimidating.

Shi Hao didn’t retreat. He transformed into a streak of flowing light and went straight for the Ghost Vine. Amidst the fog, he freely moved about, unreservedly releasing the might of his master’s supreme bone, still testing its capabilities.

Mysterious light emerged, composed of characters, exceeding the limits of speed, enveloping the ancient vine, dissipating its characters, and trapping it within.

“What is this, break it for me!” the Ghost Vine screamed, experiencing the same fear as the Five-Colored Deer before its death. Once this precious symbol was applied, it realized the truth and was instantly filled with dread.

It tried to break free from the range of the characters, but as a result, three magic artifacts were shattered, and its own body was aging rapidly, as if it had aged thousands of years in an instant.

“This is karma…” the Ghost Vine cried out in terror, then its voice abruptly ceased.

Its body withered, lost its luster, its leaves yellowed and fell off, then the old skin cracked and fluttered down, finally glowing as if burning, turning into ashes of calamity.

Shi Hao was surprised, pondering in his heart that it could be used this way; he understood a bit more about the power of that bone.

Within the dense fog, a fiendish ape charged with a pair of wings on its back, its entire body jet-black, with dense black fur gleaming with dark light, possessing incredible strength.

Its eyes were blood-red, teeth snow-white and razor-sharp, utterly ferocious and raging, roaring as it swung its fists to strike forward.

On World Mountain, divine power rolled tumultuously, nearly suffocating everyone. After the fiendish ape went mad, its strength could increase significantly on top of its original base.

It was a true ferocious beast. Now with its blood and energy boiling, it naturally carried an unparalleled murderous aura, the kind left by slaughtering tens of thousands of creatures.

Shi Hao’s body shifted slightly, dodging the punch, and with a ‘bang,’ he reached out his hand, grabbed the ape’s wrist, with his body’s giant Peng bird strength bursting forth violently, causing this place to surge with golden light!

This was pure brutality countering brutality, madness dominating madness!

The fiendish ape howled, with its other hand also reaching for Shi Hao, and its body’s dark light intensified, characters without end, all converging towards its arm; it aimed to shake Shi Hao to death on the spot.

“Boom!”

After an intense vibration, both released their grip and stumbled back.

Shi Hao was unharmed, while the fiendish ape’s arms cracked, blood flowing continuously, and began to twist irregularly, its bones obviously broken.

“Kill!”

Shi Hao let out a soft command, rushing forward at high speed, with the giant Peng bird force appearing once more. It was as if a Divine Bird had risen within his body, covering his figure, spreading its wings and crying out, shaking heaven and earth.

“Splash”

Blood sprayed vividly high into the air, and the sound was terrifying.

Shi Hao tore the fiendish ape apart with his bare hands. Its body, split in two, was thrown to the ground, extremely bloody, a powerful being had perished.

At the same time, the fog had nearly cleared. People rushed out of the arena in succession, and Shi Hao also moved to the edge to avoid being surrounded.

At this moment, everyone felt a chill. Who exactly was the beast here? The young man looked clear and elegant, appearing to be ethereal and detached, yet he had torn apart the fiendish ape.

In the midst of the chaos, Shi Hao killed two Venerables in quick succession, truly deterring many.

In the Cultivation World, everything spoke by strength, especially in situations of life-and-death battles and mutual hostility. The powerful were naturally feared and not dared to be provoked.

Shi Hao stood aside, his clothes unstained by blood, appearing innocuous, talking to himself, “Human-shaped, huh, can’t eat. Such a pity for the Five-Colored Deer earlier, my deer antlers, my precious meat.”

Some naturally heard him and felt a bit creeped out. While this fellow seemed as ethereal as an Immortal, how was it that he was more brutal than ancient ferocious beasts, even wanting to devour creatures like the Five-Colored Deer?

“Too formidable, the reputation of the young supreme being from the Lower Realm is well-deserved!” Hong Huang uttered in admiration, her large eyes flickering with great surprise.

Several noble ladies were all deeply shaken, expressing amazement at his fighting strength.

Zhao Qi and Zhuo Yun, who had lost an arm, were also quite astonished, filled with wariness and unease.

The Nine-Headed Snake, Ironblood Ancient Tree, although powerful, were somewhat hesitant and didn’t act immediately. They did not want others to take advantage of the situation. Because Shi Hao was a tough bone to chew, they felt that even if they subdued him, they would have to pay a great price.

For a time, the atmosphere was a bit subtle, and everyone restrained themselves.

“Pop!”

Suddenly, a strange noise arose, attracting everyone’s attention, and all looked up.

At the peak of World Mountain, several meters above the ground, the Sunflower was blooming. Golden radiance flowed, ethereal and sanctified, as if a golden sun was bursting open there.

This time, no golden juice flowed down, but the truth within the flower revealed itself.

“How could there be a person?” everyone exclaimed in shock.

Whether it was the noble ladies and prodigies from the higher realms or the Venerables from the Primeval Treasure Realm, all were stunned, showing an incredulous look. This was too mysterious and eerie.

The golden radiance was intense, and within the flower was a crystal clear egg, almost transparent, which had absorbed the golden juice and the essence of the Divine Medicine. The creature inside was clearly visible.

Her golden hair spread out, curves undulating, her body snowy white, her eyes tightly closed, long eyelashes casting golden glimmers, her skin glowing and lustrous. This was a stunning woman.
