Chapter 630
Chapter 630: 630 Chapter 630: 630 Shi Hao furrowed his brows, sighing lightly, “There’s a hidden danger.
If there’s an ancient True God sealed within the Black Prison, once released, we’d be in disaster, completely unable to cope with it.”
This problem was very serious; even though one might seek wealth amidst danger and wish to take action amidst the chaos, it was essential to still have one’s life intact.
The Divine Striking Stone was also very cautious.
It sensed a breath that was out of the ordinary here.
It left the mining tunnels, gazing at the prison cast in black metal from afar, its heart immediately sinking.
The Black Prison was densely inscribed with Mysterious Runes, with natural laws profound and complex, striking fear even into its heart; the array left by a sect master-level powerhouse, grand and vast, difficult to decipher.
“We must not act rashly, the array is too formidable.
I will mostly likely not be able to break it.”
This matter was of utmost importance, and after a long discussion between the two of them, they confirmed that deep within the Black Prison was an even more complex grand array, the work of giants from the higher realms, and they became even more cautious.
“I really wanted to give Immortal Mountain a surprise by releasing all their enemies, but it’s…
difficult,” Shi Hao shook his head.
Afterward, they came to the surface.
Shi Hao chatted with the others on Demon Island, learning an astonishing truth; this cage was extraordinary.

“There may be a Celestial God sealed within, with an incomparably ancient existence, living all this while!”
“But no one has ever seen it, it’s only a legend.
Yet, the deepest parts of the Black Prison are forbidden lands, where even the Prison Head who has ignited divine flames dare not step foot, reluctant to approach carelessly.”
…
Shi Hao inhaled sharply.
The Black Prison on Demon Island was even more terrifying than they had imagined.
It was not a ordinary cage.
They had to make long-term plans and not act recklessly.
“All you prisoners, hurry up and mine.
You’re not allowed up here until today’s quota is met!”
From somewhere far away, a scolding voice could be heard.
Qin Chengshang and the others waved their Lightning Whips, lashing the prisoners until their skin split and bled profusely.
“I can’t go on, the curse is too deep.
I need to rest up top; at this rate, I’ll only live a few more days,” someone pleaded.
“No going up, you’re a prisoner and have no right to bargain here.
If you don’t want to go down, you can be killed right now, get moving and start mining!”
The Qin Clan’s people shouted, swinging their whips, lightning slashing through the sky, whipping the man until he was charred and bones exposed, screaming incessantly.
“Please, adults, show some mercy,” some prisoners begged.
“Get lost, all of you go down and start mining quickly, or else you’ll be beaten too!” Qin Chengshang ordered.
“What great authority, strutting around here making trouble,” Shi Hao muttered under his breath, a murderous intent flickering.
Days later, a riot broke out again because one after another, people were dying in the mines, and several corpses were carried out.
Many prisoners were enraged; since they were going to die anyway, what else was there to fear?
This triggered quite severe consequences.
Oppression always leads to resistance.
“Take advantage of the chaos.” Shi Hao decided to make a move.
Over these few days, after discussing with the Divine Striking Stone, he felt they might break open the outermost layer of the cage and ensure he was “out of it,” undetected.
However, if they wanted to make any significant moves, that was impossible.
After all, this was a vital area.
If it was so easy to break, it would have been successfully breached long ago over the countless years!
During these days, the Divine Striking Stone went deep underground.
It could use Earth Escape, and had already prepared something beneath the outermost layer of the prison, ready to act.
“Won’t anyone detect even the slightest clue?” Shi Hao asked.
“There won’t be, this is a natural array.
With my Dual Pupils, I found some terrifying lightning deep within the earth’s veins, cleverly guiding them up, making it seem like mining disruptions caused the explosion of the lightning stored below.”
One of the rarest resources beneath Demon Island was the blood of the Demon Lord, only seen once in tens of thousands of years.
Besides, there was the forbidden power left behind by the Immortal Dao Heavenly Tribulation.
The riots worsened.
Conflict arose in every ancient mine.
The prisoners, fighting for survival, for life, rebelled desperately.
“Let’s go!”
Shi Hao and the Divine Striking Stone entered the ancient mine, and then, they triggered the Thunderous Force buried underground, sealed within a special substance, which now burst forth tremendously.
“Boom!”
The first layer of the Black Prison rumbled, lightning glaring.
The metallic structure was pierced through, the characters erased, bright radiance lighting up the heavens, and the seal was broken.
Simultaneously, some important ancient mines cracked, and thunder surged from beneath.
“Not good, the thunder from underground is erupting, fragments of Immortal Dao natural laws are rushing out.
Guard the Black Prison, don’t let it break open!” cried a prison warden, for the consequences would be unthinkable.
The thought of the ancient True Gods being released would make their hair stand on end.
It would be a disaster.
“Quick, suppress the underground thunder!” Many prison wardens appeared and even stronger figures rushed over.
Obviously, the surge of thunder on Demon Island was not happening for the first time over such a long period.
“This is the chance!” Near the ancient mines, those rebellious prisoners’ widened their eyes, full of surprise, rushing toward the thunder, harnessing its strength to strike at the shackles in their hands, trying to break their chains.
Lightning bolts danced wildly, thunder erupted, and natural laws of thunder appeared around each ancient mine, cracking the ground, and bright radiance exploded massively.
The whole world felt different, with Primal Qi fluctuating violently, and divine radiance surging.
“Kill!”
Some managed to break their chains, with characters flickering all over them, possessing some Secret Technique, they surprisingly regained their combat power.
Their eyes red with rage, they killed toward the guards and helped those around them tear off their shackles, disabling the restrictions, inciting a massive riot.
At that moment, Shi Hao delved deep underground, breaking through the tough layers of rock to approach the earth treasure.
“This is…”
Both he and the Divine Striking Stone were shocked.
As soon as the rock layer was broken, the place surged with Primal Qi, emitting an intense brilliance that was even more scorching than the sun.
To their astonishment, there was a plant rooted here – a plant with a golden gleam, consisting of five leaves, wrapped in electric sparks crackling forth with endless Thunderous Force.
“What a fortune, what plant is this?
It actually contains such powerful thunder!” The Divine Striking Stone exclaimed in surprise.
As it approached, before even making actual contact, it was struck by an electric arc that sent it tumbling over.
At the same time, fiery light burst out from the ancient mine.
Although Shi Hao and the others quickly sealed it with an array, lightning still spilled out, looking extremely splendid.
Fortunately, they were prepared in advance, having already triggered chaos with ancient mines and prisons being battered by thunder, otherwise, this kind of light would undoubtedly alarm everyone, it was too intense.
Even so, a Prison Head who had ignited divine flames was slightly suspicious and glanced in their direction but did not come over.
The Five-Leaf Grass was rooted within a strange rock the size of a human head; inside it, the thunder was just as fierce, as if sealing a vast ocean of lightning that was deafening.
“Good gracious, nurturing a grass and filled with lightning, remarkable!” They could not determine the value of the grass and the strange rock, but they knew it must be extraordinary.
Vaguely, Shi Hao saw that within this grass and the golden stone, there were Mysterious Runes circulating.
He was overjoyed, certain it was of extreme reference value.
It was said that when Immortal Dao Thunder descended upon the earth, it obliterated the Demon Lord on the island – could it be these runes?
The thought alone excited him.
“Quick, seal it up, or the disturbance and the thunder outside won’t be able to conceal the anomaly here,” urged the Divine Striking Stone.

Although they had incited a riot, they needed to be fast in their actions.
Together, they sealed the grass and the stone, placing them inside the internal space of the Divine-grade Artifact, the Demon-Subduing Pestle.
Then, the Divine Striking Stone swallowed the Demon-Subduing Pestle, hiding it within its body.
Its belly was akin to a nascent small world, capable of isolating their Qi signatures.
“Let’s go!”
The two of them returned to the surface without a sound.
On the ground, a grand chaos had erupted, with the roar of battle shaking the sky.
Many prisoners broke their shackles, helping each other to dismantle the prohibitions, their eyes bloodshot from fighting.
Shi Hao secretly took action, aiding a group of people to regain their freedom.
With that, like a snowball effect, a massive riot broke out among the prisoners near the ancient mines.
It was a catastrophic consequence!
Even though cultivators who had ignited divine flames came to suppress them, in that special ancient mine, prisoners of the same rank broke the prohibitions, leading to the most dreadful battle.
“Run!”
In this moment, it was not just some prisoners, but also some jailers and outsiders who had come to mine who all fled towards distant places, not willing to be embroiled in this terrible divine-level battle.
“Don’t you dare flee!” some prison wardens attempted to block them, but there were too many people, scattering in all directions, overwhelming any attempt to stop them.
“Those who rebel, show no mercy!” Qin Chengshang bellowed, desperately trying to stop them.
If the responsibility was to be pursued, he would have to bear some of it, as the ancient mine he was supervising was the first to riot.
Shi Hao intentionally passed by this area, taking advantage of the chaos to strike.
Clenching his fist, he radiated lightning and threw his punch.
Qin Chengshang, cold and grim, met him with a ferocious smile, but his expression quickly froze.
“Poof!”
His arm exploded on the spot, and his blood turned to ashes in the lightning.
With the combat power that Shi Hao possessed now, among the cultivators of the Venerable Realm, if they were not Primordial ones or the strongest among them, who could withstand him?
“You…
who are you?” Qin Chengshang felt something was wrong and shrieked in horror.
Such a powerful and young Venerable was extremely rare; he was definitely one of the renowned young heroes.
Shi Hao’s pupils were cold.
To him, this man, who tried to strangle his grandfather, had long been a dead man.
Without a word, he struck again.
“Bang!”
Shi Hao’s second punch exploded with thunder, and Qin Chengshang instantly burst apart.
But his blood and the rest quickly evaporated, destroyed utterly by the lightning.
Although the fog on Demon Island was dense, there were still a few youths of the Qin Clan nearby who witnessed it and cried out in shock, “You…”
Such a domineering technique was too terrifying, even more formidable than the geniuses of the Qin Clan, sending chills down their spines.
Shi Hao flicked his finger, lightning striking the foreheads of these youths.
Blood gushed out, and then they turned to charred black, all falling backward with their heads hitting the ground.
Many people fled.
Some left Demon Island, others hid in the safety zones at the edge of the island, waiting for the chaos to end.
Shi Hao moved with ease, stepping into another area—the true No-Man’s Land of Demon Island, a place of absolute desolation.
The fog in this area was even thicker, with the danger of getting lost upon entry, and from time to time, lightning streaked across the sky, casting blinding flashes.
“What a great place!” Shi Hao was not alarmed but delighted because he felt the power of the dao of lightning natural laws.
Perhaps if he cultivated here, he might comprehend something.
Especially, he had obtained that peculiar golden grass from the ancient mine, within which Mysterious Runes flickered.
It was perfect for study in this place.
“Grandpa…
are you here?” Shi Hao moved forward, his heart far from calm, hoping to reunite with him here, to see his grandfather.
