Perfect World

Chapter 591: Chapter 591 Desperate Situation
 

“Clang!”

To everyone’s surprise, the old servant extended his hand to block and tapped his finger on the golden halberd, producing a metallic sound. Using this force, he spun and soared high into the sky.

Shi Hao’s arm felt numb; the strength of his opponent was astonishingly great!

What was going on?

The old servant’s aura had grown stronger. Shi Hao had clearly suppressed him with the Supreme Bone, but now, how was he increasingly powerful, especially since the Supreme Rune had not yet lost its effect?

The wounds on Yellow Feather’s body were healing at a swift rate. His energy was becoming even more vigorous. Although his appearance was still old and his skin sagging, he became more dangerous.

“Hehe…” Yellow Feather sneered and said, “Do you think I’m very old, with little life left? Wrong. My Immortal Crane race lives for a very long time, and when I descended to the Lower Realm, the Immortal Hall awarded me a Divine Pill to increase my vitality. Thanks a lot. Your Supreme Rune helped me assimilate the last of the pill’s energy, and now it has completely integrated with me.”

Shi Hao frowned, decisively retreating and establishing a safe distance. He sighed in his heart, realizing that such powerful beings were indeed difficult to handle.

“You were using me to refine the True Flood Dragon Pills?”

“When one gets old, one becomes more cautious, I don’t want to take such risks. That was just the worst-case scenario, and it actually happened,” Yellow Feather said with a deep look.

Shi Hao was silent. Actually, the main reason was the huge gap in strength. The old servant was far superior to any ordinary being who had ignited divine flames.

If Shi Hao had ignited divine flames, he could definitely use the Supreme Bone to Suppression Kill this enemy!

Just then, the Supreme Rune dissipated, and the evolved figure vanished. Shi Hao turned and fled. Yellow Feather naturally pursued him, his eyes flashing with a sharp gleam.

“Where do you think you’re going!”

He vibrated his arms, and a pair of Golden Wings appeared. The true Immortal Crane spread its wings, fiercer than before, with endless golden feathers fluttering, radiating swathes of light along with the wings.

“Boom!”

As Shi Hao dodged, many mountains below were destroyed. Any touched by the golden light would crumble to bits, and dust clouds surged.

At this moment, Yellow Feather had naturally returned to his peak state. The wounds vanished, and his body was throbbing with golden light, boiling with power.

“Young man, you know neither the heavens nor the earth. Try the old one’s Magic Artifact,” he said, spitting out a small golden hammer. It shot toward Shi Hao like a flash of lightning.

“Hm?” Shi Hao was startled. This wasn’t an ordinary attack. The small hammer emitted the sound of thunder; there were lightning strikes coming down. It was incredibly fast!

“Take this!” Yellow Feather shouted. The lightning hammer shone, accompanied by the sound of thunder, collided with the True God Divine Instrument in Shi Hao’s hand, causing him to be shaken violently, coughing up blood.

This golden small hammer was not simple!

“Immeasurable Sea!” Shi Hao bellowed. Behind him, a vast black ocean surged, and a gigantic Kun fish swung its tail—the length incomprehensible—carrying endless black Taiyin Energy, rushing up to confront Yellow Feather.

The black ocean released the Power of Taiyin, boundless and infinite. The cold and gentle force surged and slashed towards the former palace servant.

The sound of lightning was deafening, meeting the black ocean, the two producing blinding light. The area was like a Star Domain exploding, limitless light, and Shi Hao was tossed away on the spot.

The gap in their strengths was too wide to bridge. Shi Hao’s life was in jeopardy, and if this continued, he would undoubtedly die!

“Aren’t you going to surrender!” The old servant sneered, extending a large hand and grabbing forward. This was a World Divine Power enveloping heaven and earth, omnipresent.

Had it been someone of the same level, it would have been one thing, but this was an old monster attacking, with a much higher realm. Shi Hao’s expression changed, and it was hard for him to escape this miniature world. He had to fight with all his might!

“Open!”

He shouted loudly, and a pair of Kun Peng wings emerged behind him, one as black as ink, and the other shining with golden light. The two collided, Yin and Yang Dual Qi erupted, mingling with each other, releasing traces of chaotic mist.

“Hm?” Yellow Feather was surprised. A crack appeared in his Palms Containing Worlds, and Shi Hao broke free.

“What an incredible Divine Skill. If I could cultivate it, my strength would surely double!” As a birdlike being himself, the old servant naturally desired such precious symbols, his eyes burning hot.

The two moved from battlefield to battlefield while fighting, swiftly shifting above the mountain ranges, the combat intensifying without respite.

Shi Hao continuously stuffed Demon Kui seeds into his mouth. These shiny black seeds contained immense Divine Power. Without them, he could barely hold on.

This was the most harrowing battle Shi Hao had ever experienced. By the end, he was covered in dark injuries, all inflicted by Yellow Feather through the Battle Halberd, damaging muscles, veins, bones, and more.

Given his robust body, how many in this Lower Realm could harm him? Today, he faced the most dangerous situation and could die at any moment.

“Boom!”

Yellow Feather struck with the lightning hammer and also used a Great Divine Power, blasting Shi Hao into a giant palace, where he fell onto an altar. Fleeing without a moment’s pause, he opened a pathway and left.

Moments later, he burst out of the transport formation, arriving in the Fire Nation.

Yellow Feather naturally followed, hoping to cripple Shi Hao and force him to flee back to his homeland to uncover the truth of that place.

“Uh, where exactly did he grow up?” Yellow Feather mused to himself. He had conducted a thorough investigation of Shi Hao, who had vanished as a child and re-emerged triumphant, reborn with the Supreme Bone, astonishingly brilliant.

“Kill!”

Shi Hao’s eyes shone. The time had come, and he could once again use the Supreme Bone, unleashing divine might. The little figure that emerged from his chest still ignored space and pounced.

This time, the figure erupted fully, catching up with Yellow Feather and disintegrating immediately, applying all the Supreme Runes on this palace servant, aiming to deliver a final blow.

Yellow Feather screamed. He was slower than the rune-formed figure and was hit again.

However, this time things were completely different. He began to transform from old to young, starting with his white hair turning black, then his skin gaining luster, no longer sagging, and finally his eyes sharpening.

“Feeling young is great,” Yellow Feather sighed.

Shi Hao was dumbfounded and then cursed endlessly, calling him abnormal!

The old servant had not grown younger, but instead had transformed into a vigorous young man, filled with robust vitality, infuriatingly restoring his youth.

“Hmm?” Shi Hao noticed that although Yellow Feather had become younger, his Divine Power had weakened, not as formidable as in his older state. This was the only chance. He lunged forward with all his might, engaging in a deathmatch.

Unfortunately, he had miscalculated. Yellow Feather’s cultivation, although not as profound as in his elder years, was not so much diminished as to be negligible. He still outclassed Shi Hao by a considerable margin, making it difficult to slay him.

This was truly frustrating. Trying to age him wouldn’t work since he was already full of life; attempting to reduce him would only mean aiding his recovery since he was naturally aged.

Shi Hao was troubled; this was the first time he encountered such an opponent. The Supreme Rune was powerful, but facing someone who was so much stronger, his efforts seemed in vain.

“If I were to ignite divine flames with enough Divine Power, one strike could end his life, alas…” Shi Hao genuinely had no other options left.

“Golden Rule, Suppression Kill!” exclaimed Yellow Feather, not wanting any accidents to happen, he decisively employed several of his most powerful Divine Skills.

Rows of golden Pillars emerged, stretching from earth to sky, pushing apart the clouds, like pillars holding up the heavens. Each was immensely thick and inscribed with characters.

Trapped among them, Shi Hao faced a crisis. He dashed left and right until, with a loud boom, he was sent reeling, blood oozing from all seven orifices.

“Break!”

In the end, grinding his teeth and sacrificing several True God Divine Instruments with his blood, he finally blasted an opening and escaped, covered in blood.

“Do you see now? This is the disparity in strength. No matter how you resist, it’s futile; inevitably, you’re bound for a fallen fate,” the old servant said coldly.

“Old thing…” Shi Hao barely opened his mouth when blood poured out; he hastily shut it and fled in one direction.

Yellow Feather was surprised; this area was bubbling with Magma, rich in the essence of heaven and earth, and within the crimson liquid, he saw a school of fish swimming. He couldn’t help but be moved and said, “These are Flaming Fish, no, a variant of Flaming Fish—Sun Fish, said to be able to dwell in the sun, containing astonishing Divine Substance.”

This was undoubtedly the ancestral land of the Fire Nation.

And now, with internal strife within the Fire Nation still not entirely settled, this place remained unguarded.

Shi Hao had indeed intended to lead Yellow Feather here, but found the task arduous. Finally, after being blasted onto the altar, he artfully adjusted and, indeed, was transported to this region.

With his current realm, donning the Undying Golden Body Battle Clothes allowed him to open that ancient underground palace; he entered the Ancient Sacred Imperial Palace of the Fire Nation!

Not long after, Yellow Feather arrived, following him into a palace.

At the gate, a sea of fire blazed, but for beings who had ignited divine flames, this was no obstacle. Yellow Feather entered directly and caught sight of the Pond of Rebirth.

“A divine pond?! What a pity it has been used,” he lamented upon only finding a little golden liquid in the pond, crimson with flecks of gold.

“Is this the Divine Liquid left by the Vermilion Bird’s nirvana?” Yellow Feather was thunderstruck, gaping, filled with immense longing as he collected the remaining Divine Liquid.

Shi Hao fought while retreating to a wall, pushed open a stone door, and rushed in. Yellow Feather, with a solemn expression, followed suit.

Shi Hao was astonished. This old man was too bold; he actually followed him? He hadn’t expected this to go so smoothly and fled into the Martial Arts Arena.

The Wall of Gods and Demons held many gateways, and this was one of them, with an arena conducive to fierce battles.

Shi Hao dearly hoped Yellow Feather would follow him inside. With the help of this place, he could eliminate him for good!

“Eh, that’s not right, this place suppresses one’s realm!” Yellow Feather’s complexion changed.

From the wall erupted various creatures, all pouncing to kill them. Shi Hao had already discreetly blocked their way back, expressionless, intent on dealing a finishing blow.

These creatures couldn’t harm Yellow Feather, but then a Zhuyan leaped out, terrifyingly powerful, and advanced upon both Shi Hao and Yellow Feather.

“Our realms are the same now?” Yellow Feather’s face darkened, feeling very uneasy, he launched fierce attacks, attempting to fight his way out.

However, not to mention Shi Hao, even the Zhuyan was ferociously formidable, a swipe of its paw shook mountains, and in the midst of the fierce battle, it tore off a large chunk of flesh from its body and swallowed it.

Shi Hao, like a True Dragon born out of chaos, became fierce, striking wildly with each blow stunningly remarkable.

At this moment, Yellow Feather couldn’t defend against it. Quivering under Shi Hao’s fight, he coughed up large amounts of blood, nearly shattered from the vibration!

“Kill!”

With a resounding shout, Shi Hao dodged the Zhuyan’s assault, charged at Yellow Feather, clashed with him repeatedly, and finally, with the broken sword in his hand, pierced through his brow.

With a “puh” sound, blood spurted high.

Yellow Feather howled, filled with rage. How could he die at the hands of such a junior? He roared, igniting himself with Divine Fire, quickly reduced to ashes in this place.

“Hmm?” Shi Hao furrowed his brows.

He still had to battle the Zhuyan, ultimately slaying it after a final fight. He wanted to leave and recuperate on the surface before returning to inspect this place.

Following a series of intense battles, he was severely depleted, almost to the point of exhaustion. He didn’t want to waste his Divine Power here. This place was eerie and could trigger another battle at any moment.

He surfaced, and in nearly an instant, his hair stood on end; he dashed out at high speed, dodging a deadly strike.

Yellow Feather re-emerged, sneering coldly.

“You…” Shi Hao’s expression changed. He had felt something was amiss earlier, and sure enough, there was a problem. Too hasty and dire. While in the underground palace, he had neglected to verify closely.

“That was one of my Guardian Spirits,” stated Yellow Feather indifferently. He was naturally cautious and wouldn’t take risks lightly. He had encountered similar situations before, having trapped and killed three gods with such schemes. This kind of ploy was useless against him.

“You still think to flee? If you keep this up, I’ll immediately go to Stone Country to find the War King, Peng Jiu, and others. Or perhaps visit your parents at Immortal Mountain before returning to Stone Country to start a massacre!” Yellow Feather sneered; he didn’t want to delay any longer.

Shi Hao was silent, but his eyes grew more profound as he calmly watched, saying not a word.

“Resenting me yet powerless, do you feel suffocated?” taunted Yellow Feather with a smile, “Want to live? I’ll give you a chance, submit to my sealing and willingly serve me for a hundred years.”

“I’ve actually been driven to this point, trapped in a desperate situation,” Shi Hao sighed softly.

“Refuse to submit, then die!” Yellow Feather’s expression hardened.

“It’s you who will die!” Shi Hao suddenly looked up, having made a decision, his gaze resolute as he pointed his sword at him. (To be continued.
