Chapter 515 - 515: Chaos Ancient Hall
Chapter 515: Chapter 515: Chaos Ancient Hall
This was an eerie scene, like something out of a painting, where a golden divine flower bloomed. Although it blossomed radiantly, it mysteriously nurtured an unparalleled beauty— a notion which baffled everyone.
How could a flower do this?
Everyone was dumbstruck by the sight, filled with a mysterious aura that made them hesitant to act recklessly.
The Sun Divine Flower was golden yellow, with mist flowing around it, and shone brilliantly. At the heart of the flower, golden juice glistened and was fragrant, and there were at least ten drops—all of which were absorbed by the egg.
People watched eagerly, not daring to make a move. Those who had attacked this golden flower earlier were pierced through and killed by the golden Order Divine Chains.
The egg was golden yet transparent, possessing a beautiful charm like that of golden divine jade, utterly enchanting, radiating various kinds of brilliance and casting a rainbow halo.
The woman curled up inside, her beauty breathtaking. Her golden hair and ivory-like translucent white body, with long eyelashes trembling slightly, looked as if she would awaken at any moment.
“What kind of person is this, a divine fetus nurtured by nature?” the Divine Striking Stone murmured.
Shi Hao was stunned, also seeing such a creature for the first time. Relying on his intuition, he knew this woman had an extraordinary origin and would likely be incredible in the future!
Others were also pondering, secretly scheming.
“Could this be the spirit soul of the Solar Divine Tree, cultivated through a flower into a human form, detaching and transforming into an exceptional beauty?” someone whispered.
The geniuses and noblewomen of the higher realms were moved; this was undoubtedly a being blessed with significant fate. If they could bring her back to the higher realms and join their school, nurturing her carefully, she would surely be able to look down on all beings from high above!
“Perhaps the golden branches are evolving into the World Tree, undergoing many mutations. This is a spirit nurtured by the World Tree, transcendent and unbounded by the five elements,” another guessed.
The Nine-Headed Snake was the first to act. One of its heads glowed, secretly calling out. It was a kind of Divine Sense guiding, meant to make one feel close to it. The snake felt that this woman had just been born and must be naive and ignorant; by making her feel a kinship, perhaps it could take her away.
A surge of clear radiance erupted from the golden flower; a golden beam of light shot out, striking the head of the Nine-Headed Snake. The snake screamed as its forehead cracked open, blood oozed from its eyes, and it writhed on the ground.
This head of the snake immediately became listless, lost its radiance, and nearly got severed.
Another Venerable One fared even worse; as golden characters fell, his body ignited and turned to ashes in the fiery light, annihilated both physically and spiritually.
“That was the Solar Essence Fire, how terrifying!”
People’s expressions changed, whether it was emitted by the egg or seeped from the golden flower, they could not determine now.
“What exactly is she, a being born from the great fortune of heaven and earth?”
People wondered, unable to ascertain for the moment.
A Taoist from the Golden Crow Clan was puzzled, then gradually became excited, staring at the egg, his voice trembling, “Could this be the rebirth of the Crow Emperor?”
Legend had it that their clan originated from the Solar Divine Tree, where an ancestor was nurtured and hatched from an egg, eventually becoming the Heavenly Emperor.
That was the Primordial, the strongest of their clan, born and nurtured by heaven and earth, said to be invincible within the nine heavens.
Now, this woman was also born on the Solar Divine Tree, bloomed within a flower—could she be another Crow Emperor?
Suddenly, the golden divine flower moved. The mist around it thickened, and it swiftly flew towards the Chaos Ancient Hall.
This turn of events was beyond everyone’s expectations. It was incredibly fast, leaving behind an afterimage, the vacuum filled with gold, disappearing in a flash.
“It went in, quick, follow!”
As if awakening from a dream, everyone quickly started to move, no longer bothering to besiege Shi Hao because there were more important things inside the hall.
In this place, the vacuum was sealed off, making it difficult to fly.
The Chaos Palace was parallel to the World Mountain, supported by some golden branches. Normally, one would need to take a detour, climbing up from those branches, but not anymore.
The golden flower hadn’t fallen off but remained connected to a branch, entering the interior of the Chaos Palace. People clambered onto the branch, speeding along in pursuit.
Shi Hao was at the rear, following them to see what great fortune could be inside.
The palace was majestic and boundless, making one feel insignificant upon approaching it, like a mere speck of dust. It was ancient and sacred, enveloped in chaotic mist.
Previously, a group of Venerables had tried to enter but returned defeated; they could not enter, the palace’s symbols circulated, and the pressure was immense. The Venerables there felt like ants gazing at a slumbering giant dragon.
This time, the golden flower flew in, leaving a vine as a trace. People didn’t need to figure out the symbols at the entrance; they just needed to follow the golden branch.
Indeed, this time they were not hindered, and everyone burst in successfully, overjoyed.
“We actually made it in!” a Venerable shouted, exhilarated.
The geniuses and noble ladies from the higher realms were also shocked; they had heard of the Chaos Palace’s legend—this place might possess supreme scriptures.
For, this place once belonged to a Heavenly Emperor.
“No, this belongs to our clan, it is the dwelling place of our ancestors; you cannot enter!” a Golden Crow Taoist shouted.
But who would listen to him? Everyone sped up, stepping on the golden branch, rushing into the interiors of the Chaos Palace.
Shi Hao was slow-moving, the last to enter.
Chaotic mist swirled inside the palace; although not very dense, it was still suffocating, and many people felt physical pain, struggling to adapt.
This was not a place meant for their level to linger; the Chaos Ancient Hall, only invaluable beings between heaven and earth could reside here for long.
Clearly, distinct camps emerged among the people once again, having already divided automatically upon entering, moving forward while remaining cautious.
The palace was vast, and as people searched, they found nothing but had to keep moving deeper. The chaos intensified, overwhelming some who had to conjure Treasured Artifacts to protect themselves.
“Ah…” someone screamed, attacked and killed on the spot.
The atmosphere tensed instantly; the groups were already hostile, and now, with someone starting hostilities, the divisions grew starker.
“Shall we wipe them out first?” the Silver Lion suggested, wanting to eliminate this group of young outsiders first.
“Agreed!” immediately, a Venerable nodded in agreement.
The Chaos Ancient Hall might contain astonishing creations, and since both sides were hostile, it would be better to eliminate these foreigners decisively, wiping them out completely.
After all, they had an absolute advantage. If they joined forces, they could completely slaughter these outsiders.
“Shi Hao, come over and join us to fight against them,” Hong Huang called out loudly.
“No, he killed our people. How can we still call him over?!” Zhuo Yun’s face turned ashen; his arm had just been severed by Shi Hao not long ago, and his heart was filled with hatred.
Apart from him, several others also looked displeased, as they had previously targeted Shi Hao in secret, but they remained silent at this moment.
What surprised Zhuo Yun even more was that Xuan Ming also nodded, saying, “His strength is formidable, worth pulling over.”
Several others agreed. They originally had competitive relations among themselves, coming from different schools. Those who had died were strangers to them, and now, with the situation being dire, they did not hesitate to consider accepting a strong individual into their group.
Shi Hao remained calm, walked over, and said nothing.
“Let’s go, we should avoid them first and rush forward to seize the opportunity!” someone said, taking the lead in charging ahead.
“Still want to escape? Attack!” The Venerables chuckled coldly, all bringing out their Treasured Artifacts to advance their assault.
“Xuan Ming, use your treasured artifact!” Bi Gu commanded.
It was still that same stone arch bridge, which played a crucial role several times, instantly penetrating the void and entering the front. Everyone stepped on it and sped away.
With a flash of rosy light, they entered the depths of the Chaos Palace, temporarily escaping the Venerables.
The atmosphere was delicate, as Shi Hao had killed among their people. Although they did not come from the same school, they were all from the higher realms, and there was still some resentment.
“Since we are traveling together, we can be considered companions. Since you have three drops of golden juice, should you distribute two drops to everyone for lifesaving purposes?” Zhao Qi suddenly spoke up.
This stuff could bring the dead to life and heal bones—it was absolutely a priceless Divine Liquid.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked over, especially Zhuo Yun and those who had targeted Shi Hao in secret before, showing different expressions and nodding in agreement.
“Why should I?” Shi Hao sneered, showing no concern at all.
“We are all in the same boat right now. The Venerables are very strong, and they have many people. You offering the Divine Liquid is also to enhance our combat power,” another person spoke.
“We brought you out to sea, and several times used the stone arch bridge to help you escape; we have done our part, so you should also contribute something,” Zhuo Yun said with a cold sneer, hoping everyone would join him in suppressing Shi Hao.
“If it weren’t for me using the World’s Treasure Box to break the golden branches’ barrier, could you have come up here?” Shi Hao said coldly and then looked towards Zhuo Yun and Zhao Qi, saying, “You guys, who secretly attacked me, tried to knock me off the golden branches, we still haven’t settled this account.”
“Then let’s settle it now!” Zhuo Yun sneered, shouting loudly, signaling those people to close in and attack.
“In times like this, still causing infighting. We shouldn’t deplete our strength like this, we better hurry and find the opportunity,” Lan Yu spoke up.
“Let’s discuss this later,” Xuan Ming also said, and Bi Gu and others nodded.
“Eh, have we arrived?” Shui Yue exclaimed.
Xuan Ming’s Magic Artifact was indeed remarkable, being consecutively used multiple times to traverse the void, eventually reaching the deepest part of the Chaos Palace.
On a dao platform, several meditation cushions were placed, and divine noise emanated from it, a dazzling golden flower supporting a perfect blonde woman appeared there, surrounded by a plethora of characters as if listening to the road, listening to someone preach.
Additionally, in the depths of this hall, there were Stone Tables and bookshelves. The bookshelves were also made of stone, ancient and dull.
On both the Stone Table and the bookshelves, there were bone texts, each emitting a chaotic mist, appearing extremely old!
“Supreme scriptures!” Everyone was shocked upon arriving here.
Two ancient scriptures were placed there, needless to think deeply, that was definitely an immense creation.
Even though they all came from the higher realms, everyone’s eyes turned red with greed, rushing forward, each on guard, possibly facing a life-and-death battle.
“Boom!”
Someone was blasted away, no one could approach the two bone texts enveloped in chaotic mist.
“You have the Undying Golden Body Battle Garment, go and try,” Zhuo Yun said, still harboring hatred towards Shi Hao, wanting to drag him down too.
A few others felt the same, their eyes flickering with cold light as they turned to look over.
“You’ve been buzzing non-stop all this way, truly annoying. If you don’t want to die, just stay on the side and don’t provoke me,” Shi Hao glanced at him and focussed seriously on the bone texts.
“You…” Zhuo Yun enraged, was he being treated like a fly? To be described this way, the other party didn’t seem to take him seriously at all, he signaled the others to join him in attacking.
“If it’s death you seek, I’ll grant it!” Shi Hao said.
“Let’s see what you can do!” Zhuo Yun shouted, stepping forward simultaneously with three others, each conjuring their treasures.
“Thinking you’re so grand just because you’re from the higher realms, you think I wouldn’t dare to kill you? If you knew how I dealt with those from Immortal Mountain, you wouldn’t be so arrogant,” Shi Hao spoke indifferently.
With a clang, he drew his Golden Divine Sword, slashing forward, once again using the Supreme Bone, aiming for a quick decision.
As the sword hummed, its blade glowed, releasing a spread of mysterious characters, the vibrations intense. Zhuo Yun and the three behind him were enveloped.
“Ah, this is…” they shrieked.
In an instant, the four of them shrank, becoming much more juvenile, like “returning to youth,” reverting from their peak state to a young, juvenile phase.
Not only in appearance, but their actual strength was also diminished.
The group screamed in terror, their hearts shocked and fearful.
“So it’s like this, it can indeed be used this way, this can truly be called karma,” Shi Hao mused internally, remaining calm and composed, moving handily. The Golden Divine Sword swept across, Zhuo Yun’s head was chopped off, his cries of terror unable to alter the outcome.
