Perfect World

Chapter 516: Chapter 516: Confrontation
 

The headless corpse fell, blood staining the ancient hall floor red, the severed head rolled far away, a face written with terror, its mouth opening and closing repeatedly, trying to say something.

“Let me put your head back on for you, do you still want to live?” Shi Hao asked in surprise.

Zhuo Yun’s desire to survive was strong, he struggled to open his mouth, blinked desperately, his life force had not yet faded, and the divine soul in his brow was flickering, attempting to escape.

With a “Chi” sound, Sword Qi approached, and amid Zhuo Yun’s fear and unwillingness, the brow of his face was penetrated by a Golden Divine Sword, ending his life completely.

Shi Hao was calm, for the other party had provoked him again and again, harboring a strong murderous intent towards him, which had already crossed his bottom line.

“Don’t come over here!” the other three screamed, turning to run, their faces full of fear.

As powerful as they were, their faces were now surprisingly youthful, they had lost their peak combat strength, half their cultivation had been stripped, and they no longer had that high and mighty confidence.

“Stop!” Zhao Qi shouted, feeling uneasy, as he had also constantly targeted Shi Hao not long ago.

At the same time, Shui Yue, Xuan Ming, Bi Gu and others also offered their treasures, moving forward to persuade, their hearts were greatly shocked, Zhuo Yun was not weak, and yet met his demise in the Lower Realm.

“Fellow Daoist, we traveled across the sea together, entered the Chaos Ancient Hall, even with discord, we shouldn’t do this, we shouldn’t fight among ourselves, after all, we still have a group of external enemies,” Bi Gu said.

Their hearts were very restless and it was complicated for some. Some people wanted to win over Shi Hao, while others were very wary of him, holding strong murderous intent.

“Brother Shi, let them go. Those Venerables will arrive soon, and doing this will weaken our own strength,” Shui Yue spoke up, her body exuding a silver-white radiance, looking very holy.

Shi Hao wasn’t in a hurry to take action, he was observing the remaining three, wanting to understand how long the power of Reincarnation could last.

“Ah…” one of them screamed, their body lit up, and then gradually “matured,” his cultivation was the highest among the three, and he had recovered.

Then, the other two also shook, their divine souls condensed, as if they had had a nightmare, they freed themselves from that strange state.

“The time isn’t very long,” Shi Hao pondered, stroking his chin, seriously evaluating and estimating.

“You… devil!” one person said, unstable in spirit, hiding in the crowd, pale in the face.

The other two also had ugly expressions on their faces, it was truly embarrassing, four went forward, and as a result one died, and the remaining three were scared out of their wits.

“If I were a devil, would I let you go?” Shi Hao said, after careful analysis, he further understood the might of the Supreme Bone.

The man’s face turned green, very angry, but also fearful.

“Brother Shi, how about we stop here, a formidable enemy is upon us, we should be united against the common threat,” that young girl named Yingying spoke up.

The atmosphere was now very subtle, some harbored hostility, others secretly rejoiced. Although they also came from the higher realms, they were competitors and their relationships were very complicated.

“He has already killed our people before, and now has beheaded Zhuo Yun, repeatedly so, where does this leave the dignity of the higher realms?” Zhao Qi transmitted a message secretly, opposing the suggestion. He didn’t want Shi Hao to hear this; the transmission was only within his group.

However, he underestimated Shi Hao’s instincts and perception, who sensed a subtle fluctuation, activated his Divine Sense, and caught this mental transmission.

“We can’t let him go, we all come from the higher realms, we cannot allow him to be so rampant, he has even killed our people. He is nothing more than the descendant of a fierce prisoner from the Lower Realm, with Sinful Blood flowing in his veins, let us join forces to suppress and kill him. He has three drops of Golden Liquid on his body, just right to compensate for our losses,” another person transmitted a secret message, his face slightly pale, he was the one who had just narrowly escaped death.

Some were moved by the idea, while others furrowed their brows in opposition, leading to a moment of silence.

Shi Hao’s Divine Sense was extremely sensitive, capturing this person’s mental power, and a coldness appeared on his face. He wasn’t ruthless but also would not be overly merciful to his enemies; troubles needed to be dealt with early.

He stepped forward, his appearance extremely handsome, his eyes very bright, his robes fluttering, spotless, with a spirit and transcendence about him, like an Exiled Immortal.

“You… Stop!” Some people shouted loudly.

No one expected that Shi Hao would act so decisively, his movements so swift, a giant Peng bird emerged beneath his feet, carrying him as he charged forward.

And in the void, there was a vibration, symbols densely packed, blossoming in the chaotic mist, covering the young man who had proposed to kill Shi Hao.

“Bang!”

Someone made a move, a treasure fell, but it was repelled by a light screen, unable to get close to Shi Hao’s body.

Others deployed precious symbols, twisting the void itself, but still could not penetrate, Shi Hao’s protective Divine Halo shone brightly, as if a Star River surrounded him.

He displayed a shocking defensive power, and though several people struck at once, he withstood their attacks, exuding the aura of being Invulnerable to All Methods!

This was too fast, the natural laws interfered with space, and Shi Hao took that person away!

With a “bang,” a young and pale-faced powerhouse was thrown onto the ground, he couldn’t help but cry out, wanting to struggle to his feet, but the symbols enveloping him entered his body, drastically transforming him.

“This is…” Everyone was shocked, feeling a chill.

In just a moment, the young man who had proposed to kill Shi Hao seemed to have aged hundreds of years, his hair and beard turned white, skin slackened, eyes cloudy, old and feeble.

This scene was truly eerie, the complete opposite of before, instantly as if half a lifetime was stripped from one person, making him aged and feeble.

In the brief instant, that young man had entered old age, screaming in terror, his body trembling, lit up, leaking his life force, as if it was burning.

“`

“Is there a time limit? Will he ultimately… recover?” Shi Hao muttered to himself with doubt, yet this time he didn’t hesitate. With a thump, he slapped down and shattered the withered body into ash.

“You’ve gone too far!” Xuan Ming said with a sunken face.

“How have I gone too far? He was plotting to kill me here, shouldn’t I fight back?” Shi Hao calmly asked, displaying an awe-inspiring composure and confidence.

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.

Zhao Qi suddenly spoke in a deep voice, “No matter what, you shouldn’t have killed them. Are you trying to sever ties with the higher realms, or do you want to kill us all?”

“That’s quite an accusation. Self-preservation equates to a rift with the higher realms? Can you speak for them? If so, do you also want to command the Sect Hierarchs of the higher realms on their behalf?” Shi Hao chuckled.

The atmosphere grew tense. Zhao Qi and a few others looked upset but they didn’t act recklessly.

“What has it come to?” Lan Yu sighed softly. Now it was troublesome. If they allied with Shi Hao again and drew him over to their side, Zhao Qi and others would surely harbor resentment.

Everyone remained at a stalemate, no one moved.

Shi Hao was calm and composed, without any concerns at this point. Whoever wished to harm him would be met with a direct confrontation. He looked at Zhao Qi and the others with a daunting gaze.

Those people momentarily felt a sense of pressure. This youth from the Lower Realm was not afraid of their status and possessed formidable strength, presenting a real trouble.

On the stone table and the bookshelves, two bone texts were enshrouded in chaotic mist, shrouded in mystery. This was the grand opportunity everyone longed for. In contrast, the exceptionally beautiful woman supported by golden flowers was temporarily ignored.

Shi Hao stepped forward towards the stone table, aiming to seize the Immortal Scripture.

Zhao Qi and the others watched with icy eyes, ready to attack him the moment he successfully picked up the texts.

There was an inexplicable pressure near the stone table, growing more intense as one drew closer, repelling anyone who approached. Furthermore, the chaotic mist emanating from the bone texts also prevented people from getting close.

“Boom!”

Before Shi Hao could approach, someone charged at him, making a move.

The group of Venerables had arrived and upon seeing the two Chaos Bone Books, were immediately shocked, united in blocking Shi Hao.

“How wonderful, better to be lucky than early. The two classics displayed in the Chaos Ancient Hall are undoubtedly supreme Immortal Scriptures,” the giant golden giant laughed heartily.

The Nine-Headed Snake’s massive body gleamed with scales, cold and grim. Especially the nine heads hissing, the chilly atmosphere made one’s hair stand on end.

“You… stay out of this!” The Silver Lion was even more blunt, staring at Shi Hao in front.

All the Venerables looked ahead, ready to slay anyone who stood in their way.

“Gentlemen, go ahead and make your move. This man has nothing to do with us. Kill or slash as you please,” Zhao Qi spoke, his face carrying a chill.

He had completely cut off the hopes of Lan Yu, Bi Gu, and others, not allowing Shi Hao to stand with them. This would isolate him and face a multitude of Venerables alone, putting him in an impossible situation.

“Indeed, this person has no connection with us, you may kill or plunder at will,” another young genius from the higher realms said, who had also targeted Shi Hao before, “knocking” him off the Golden Ancient Tree.

“Interesting!” The Nine-Headed Snake, Golden Crow Taoist, and others all revealed a cold smirk, surprised to see the newcomers at odds.

“Then there’s nothing more to say, we will take care of it and annihilate him,” the Ironblood Ancient Tree spoke, with a cruel smirk, taking the opportunity to strike Shi Hao, an incredibly formidable figure.

“He should have been killed long ago!” the giant golden giant said gruffly and violently, throwing a punch to attack.

The Silver Lion also responded with action, a roar that caused the ancient hall to resound with a buzz as chaotic mist surged. This was the true Lion’s Roar Divine Technique!

Shi Hao’s body emanated dark light, mingling with the Undying Golden Body, and a powerful fighting spirit burst forth, making him appear as a devilish God.

“Boom!”

With a tap of the Golden Divine Sword in the void, it exploded like a sunburst, scattering the silver ripples of the Lion’s Roar Divine Technique with golden symbols.

“Bang!”

At the same time, Shi Hao threw a punch toward the giant golden giant, imbued with boundless divine light, meeting the giant’s golden fist. The collision sent shockwaves thundering, deafening to the ears.

“Kill!”

A great battle erupted, with the Venerables attacking in turn.

At the same time, Xuan Ming, Bi Gu, Shui Yue, and others acted as well, rushing toward the stone table and bookshelves, attempting to break through and take away the two bone texts.

“Who dares to act rashly?!” The Venerables shouted.

A most intense battle broke out.

“We too shall make a move, let’s join forces and kill him!” Zhao Qi spoke, uniting with those beside him, moving to attack Shi Hao together with the Venerables on the other side, surrounding Shi Hao and trapping him in the middle.

“You’re forcing me to start a massacre!” Shi Hao’s voice was cold, a roar that shook the entire Chaos Ancient Hall, rumbling and trembling!
