Perfect World

Chapter 612: Chapter 612: Ruling the World Chapter 612: Chapter 612: Ruling the World Wind rose from all directions, causing a ruckus throughout the Stone Kingdom’s imperial city as a Venerable One perished—it was an event that shocked everyone.

In this godless era, where Venerable Ones were scarce and represented the pinnacle of combat power, the fact that someone had been snatched right out of the clouds was staggeringly shocking.

Who could it be?

People found it hard to guess.

The only person capable of using the precious techniques of the Primeval Ten Fierce Beasts with such proficiency might be Little Stone, yet he was the first to be ruled out because he had died, a fact known to the whole world.

“A year has passed in the blink of an eye, and Little Stone has been gone for so long,” people reminisced suddenly, somber with emotion.

Due to this disturbance, thoughts inevitably turned to him.

Many felt it was a pity, like the wilting of the most splendid immortal bloom, leaving behind only fragments and regrets.

“If Shi Hao were still alive, what would it be like?

Many people would be uneasy, especially those in the major schools.”
After Shi Hao’s death, his legend was once again on everyone’s lips, spurred by the familiar technique of the giant Peng bird.

Some young people had complex expressions.

Shi Hao’s presence was like a mountain bearing down on them, incomparable among his peers.

Even more than a year after his death, his influence remained vast.

Younger adolescents felt a distant longing since their elders and senior brothers or sisters all spoke of him—his past glory still lived on.

Outsiders speculated and discussed in the midst of this tumult.

Inside the Stone Kingdom’s Royal Palace, Shi Hao sat cross-legged, his appearance dignified.

Around him, ten great caves opened simultaneously, emitting an immortal aura, coalescing into a connected span of light.

“My god, these are His Majesty’s ten great caves!” some guards exclaimed, excited and shocked at their first glimpse of Shi Hao in action.

Even the War King and Peng Jiu were astonished and could not help but sigh deeply.

Shi Hao’s journey to this point was no stroke of luck.

He had cultivated to the pinnacle in every realm, terrifyingly powerful.

There, the ten great caves shone brilliantly.

Each one was broader and larger than those of ordinary cultivators.

Linked together, they formed an immortal Divine Disc, enveloping him within.

Shi Hao sat there, sacred yet majestic.

Inside the ten caves, creatures like the giant Peng bird, Suan Ni, and Vermilion Bird ebbed and flowed.

At his light command, these beings surged out.

A loud boom echoed through the Stone Kingdom’s Royal Palace as a terrifying aura enveloped the sky.

He was releasing his “Guardian Spirit,” allowing them to exit the caves.

“Your Majesty, please be cautious.

Although the Guardian Spirits are powerful, sending them separately to different domains might pose a risk,” Peng Jiu advised.

The Peacock King of Light nodded, saying, “Those schools have stood since ancient times for a reason.

They have their own glorious methodologies.

Be careful, Your Majesty.”
They were worried.

If only the Guardian Spirits were deployed and the other side used a True God Divine Instrument or activated ancient formations, a lone Guardian Spirit might face danger and injure his True Body’s Primal Qi.

Shi Hao nodded, replying, “I understand.

The Guardian Spirits will go first.

They are just to lock down those Venerables to prevent their escape.

I won’t act recklessly.”
“That’s good!” several elders nodded approval.

In the Heavenly Palace, a giant Peng bird surveyed all around.

Its body shrank to just over a foot in length before transforming into a divine light that shot forth, ascending the Ancestral Sacrificial Altar, heading for the Northern Sea!

Shi Hao had gleaned from the memories of that Venerable One that two major forces of the ocean race participated in this operation—the Supreme Flood Dragon and a Venerable One from the Sea Demon Clan.

Both powerhouses had old grievances with Shi Hao, especially the Supreme Flood Dragon.

In the clashes at the Northern Sea Kun Peng nest, it had tried several times to kill Shi Hao, yet instead had one of its Guardian Spirits killed by him.

The journey of the giant Peng bird to the Northern Sea was precisely for them.

Soon after, a Purple-gold Suan Ni roared, its lightning crackling loudly.

Initially immense and adorned with dazzling characters, it quickly shrank to under a meter tall, moving toward the Ancestral Sacrificial Altar, headed for the lesser Western Heaven.

Shi Hao hadn’t expected that this school also intended to strike at Stone Country, a transgression he couldn’t forgive!

He already disliked the lesser Western Heaven.

Before he had even left the great desolate area and when he was cultivating in Stone Village, he had encountered some rogue cultivators recruited by that school.

Those people, in search of the Supreme Divine Deposit, had killed many in the great desolate area, their hands stained with blood.

Shi Hao had personally annihilated a group of them and had even slain a golden Guardian Spirit pangolin.

“The lesser Western Heaven dares to make a move?

It’s truly hateful,” the War King declared, relieved that Shi Hao had foreseen their involvement, or they might not have known about this force.

“They are inseparably linked with the Western Sect; they share the same origins from the ancient era.

They’re definitely involved because of the Western Sect,” Peng Jiu added.

The Vermilion Bird spread its blazing red wings, departing from the Ancestral Sacrificial Altar toward the Western Sect.

Then, a humanoid Guardian Spirit appeared, wielding a black broken sword, heading for the Immortal Mountain!

Subsequently, a True Phoenix emerged, its feathers bright and its head raised in a regal cry, leaving the altar to strike toward the Heaven Mending Sect.

Shi Hao’s numerous Guardian Spirits departed one after another, aiming to lock down those school Venerables and prevent them from catching wind of the situation and fleeing; such figures, if they escaped, would be future calamities.

He had made up his mind to deal with several schools and naturally wouldn’t allow those responsible to escape; he intended to eradicate them completely!

The spectators were dazzled as Shi Hao deployed the several mighty Guardian Spirits—it was time for serious action, and a storm was surely on the horizon!

That day, the schools received reports sent back by bone texts, all of them filled with shocked disbelief.

“A Venerable One has actually died?

What exactly happened?”
What they found most hard to accept was that Stone Country had retaliated, demanding they hand over their treasured artifacts, calling them omens of misfortune.

Otherwise, a bloodbath would ensue.

This was intolerable—their own threatening words were thrown back at them, and with greater force.

“Who exactly is that person?

The Heaven Mending Sect and lesser Western Heaven each have a Venerable One in Stone Country, right?

Please have them investigate thoroughly!”
…

In Stone Country, within a mountain range, a temporary cave had been swiftly excavated.

Two beings meditated there, their bodies enveloped in a hazy light, emanating a formidable aura, appearing almost divine.

One of them, entirely white as jade and humanoid but with a long nose and a pair of crystalline tusks, was the strong being from the lesser Western Heaven—the White Jade Horned Elephant.

This being was a guardian auspicious animal of the school!

Another person had snow-white hair and a youthful appearance, and was a human.

He was practicing breathing exercises, and as he inhaled and exhaled, dragon-like energy billowed out from his nostrils and mouth, clearly indicating he was an extraordinary master.

If Shi Hao had seen this person, he would certainly recognize him.

After the battle in the Realm of Virtual Gods with Stone Village, this person had once tried to kill him alongside Granny Xihua, a venerable one from the Heaven Mending Sect.

In those days, this person had used the power of curses, which was very strange and almost led Shi Hao astray.

“Let’s go and see just who this sacred entity is that has appeared in the Shi Clan.” They stopped their breathing exercises, stood up, and rushed toward Stone Kingdom’s Imperial Capital.

When they were still some distance away from Stone Kingdom’s Royal Palace, the two men stopped.

The elder from the Heaven Mending Sect sneered, “We won’t take risks.

Let’s just watch from outside and see how I teach them a bloody lesson!”
He decided to use the power of curses to kill some of the important figures of Stone Country and throw the capital into chaos, which was utterly unforeseeable.

His teeth were pearly white, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, showing his ruthlessness.

“You’ve just arrived?” A cold voice spoke, instantly causing both venerables to stiffen and fill with horror; the voice was too clear, ringing in their ears.

They were still far from Stone Kingdom’s Imperial Capital; how were they discovered so quickly?

It was terrifying!

“This is…”
A beam of light swept over them from within Stone Kingdom’s Royal Palace, leaving them nowhere to hide.

It was a pair of eyes that could penetrate all directions, the very Dual Pupils wielded by Shi Hao.

ɴονǤօ.сօ

“Killing you, I can start my journey and visit various schools,” muttered Shi Hao, stepping through the void from the palace to the high heavens.

He had slain a venerable and knew exactly who sought to harm the Shi Clan, aware that two venerables had been within Stone Country’s territory and had waited a long time.

These words rang clear, echoing across the skies of Stone Kingdom, alarming many cultivators.

“Who is that person?!” People saw a vaguely visible figure, wrapped in layers of mist, appearing young and high in the sky.

In the next moment, the venerables from the Heaven Mending Sect and the small Western Sect shuddered.

They saw Shi Hao’s true face and couldn’t help but scream in terror!

“How is this possible, you…

you’re still alive!” Their hair stood on end, and they felt chill from head to toe when they saw Shi Hao’s true body; it was shocking!

A person who was clearly dead, known to all under the heavens, how could he be alive again?

“Let’s go!”
They didn’t want to stay any longer, turning to leave.

Little Stone’s reappearance made their hearts tremble; they had no intention of fighting, only wanting to run as far as possible.

“Shhh!”
Shi Hao was incredibly fast; Kun Peng wings appeared, emanating tremendous divine power and extreme speed, instantly cutting off their path!

At the same time, the War King, Peacock King of Light, and Peng King also appeared, rising into the sky with guards, their presence formidable.

“Who is that person?” Many within Stone Kingdom’s Imperial Capital stared at the figure of Shi Hao, uncertain and puzzled by the misty figure, feeling a sense of familiarity.

“Kill!”
The two venerables shouted, trying to break through.

Shi Hao fluttered his wings, and with a thunderous explosion, the Yin and Yang Dual Qi surged forward like a vast ocean, striking them and causing them to spit blood.

In an instant, the battle erupted, fierce and powerful, shaking heaven and earth.

“Crack!”
In just one clash, the venerable from the small Western Sect cried out in agony as a pair of pristine, translucent tusks was chopped off and fell into Shi Hao’s hands, tossed to the Peacock King and others.

“You…

how are you still in this world?” The White Jade Horned Elephant said unwillingly.

“Stone Emperor, how…

exactly did you survive?” The venerable from the Heaven Mending Sect’s heart throbbed; he didn’t understand how a dead man could appear again.

When this statement came out, Stone Kingdom’s Royal Palace trembled; the news was too shocking, too unbelievable!

“Trying to cast a curse?

You can’t!” Shi Hao said coldly, raising his hand, and lightning like an ocean swept across, shattering all curse power.

“Ah…” The venerable from the Heaven Mending Sect screamed, half his body burnt black.

The battle was decisive; first, the White Jade Horned Elephant was cut down, then the venerable from the Heaven Mending Sect’s head rolled, blood flowing, both venerables slain.

“Is this real?!” Inside Stone Kingdom’s Imperial Capital, there was turmoil, Little Stone’s reappearance shocked everyone; it was like a myth, astonishingly stunning.

The news spread, the whole land of Stone Country shook, quickly spreading to distant places.

On the same day, news came from various places that someone attacked several major schools.

The attackers included the Suan Ni, Vermilion Bird, and True Phoenix, and even the ocean had news; a giant Peng bird descended, hunting the Flood Dragon Venerable.

The whole world was in an uproar.

What was happening?

“I’ve figured it out, maybe Little Stone really resurrected, Suan Ni, Vermilion Bird, giant Peng bird, they are all his guardian spirits!” someone realized, incredibly shocked.

“And the True Phoenix, what’s that about?

I’ve never heard that he practiced such precious symbols.”
“This proves one thing; the rumors he captured Fairy Yue Chan were true, gaining this incomplete precious symbol from her.”
That day, the world shook, people were somewhat disbelieving, but they had to speculate, could it really be that Shi Hao had returned alive?

It was too shocking, stunning the whole world!

A dead young supreme being had reappeared in the human world after more than a year.

There had been nothing more bizarre or more shocking.

“Is it truly Little Stone?

My God, what happened?

He’s alive and has reappeared!”
“How insane, in just one day, he deployed several guardian spirits, simultaneously attacking several immortal schools, such power!”
“This is indeed dominating the world, one man against several schools, choosing to strike all on the same day!”
Amidst people’s doubts and discussions, every place was abuzz.

Meanwhile, Shi Hao’s true body was already on his way, about to visit each school individually, to rule over them!
