Chapter 649
Chapter 649: Chapter 649: Dressing Up for Someone Else’s Wedding Chapter 649: Chapter 649: Dressing Up for Someone Else’s Wedding Shi Hao, after having his fill of food and drink, opened his mouth to expel a billowing scarlet aura, feeling a bit overly nourished.
Given his current profound cultivation level, anyone else in his place would likely be bleeding from all seven orifices with their lifeblood ignited.
He stood up, looking towards the Golden Ancient Mountain and fixating on the lightning-struck tree at the summit.
Looking at the two glowing green leaves on it, he thought of the Willow Deity.
“Does this ancient tree have a will of its own?” He looked and looked again, feeling that it was more like a magic artifact than a powerful living being.
Was it related to lightning?
He was quite puzzled.
If that were the case, it was precisely what he needed.
However, there was also a sense of urgency now.
After all, he was still trapped here, and at any time, those four powerhouses could turn around and kill him using the Beast Fang Life Talismans.
He took out the fist-sized Pill Furnace, caressed it with his hands, ready to attack the Golden Mountain, causing the four powerhouses to fall into a dire situation.
Inside the Golden Palace, the four powerhouses were agitated, unable to comprehend the profound teachings.
They also gradually came to understand that the so-called divine sound was elusive and hard to grasp.
“There are still restrictions that need to be broken through.”

They noticed something odd, realizing that the Golden Palace was just the first level and that there were more secrets to be uncovered.They began to explore together.
“You all search carefully for me, don’t miss any corner.” A powerhouse from the Fire Demon Palace ordered, indicating the cultivators to search.
Meanwhile, they themselves were very cautious, standing near the palace gate, fearing any accidents.
The cultivators clenched their teeth and cursed inwardly, finding these few people detestable, and increasingly feeling that Shi Hao lived freely.
What happened just now was truly satisfying, lamenting that they had not allied with him earlier and had given up.
A stone stool was touched, light blossomed, and the sound of the Dao within the palace became deafening.
“There’s a situation, lift the stone stool quickly.” Chi Lingkong urged, eager to obtain the Divine Repository and then leave to slay Shi Hao.
When the stone stool was lifted, a depression appeared in its place.
After some exploration, the four powerhouses ordered someone to press their palms in it, activating Divine Power.
“Crack!”
The place produced a piercing sound, character light surged, and a passage formed in the void above.
A misty space appeared, and soon after, stairs materialized.
“Uh, there’s another layer, there’s a palace above the giant palace.” Everyone was astonished.
A group of cultivators, with no choice left, went up first, followed by the four powerhouses.
In the more elevated halls, it was quite spacious with a Divine Statue, resembling an ancient beast like a mastiff, but some parts had clearly evolved into dragon forms.
“This is the Lightning Dog!”
“As per the legends, it should be a Dragon Hound that evolved after nirvana into an unimaginable realm, partially taking on the True Dragon form,” the four powerhouses were amazed.
Under the Divine Statue was a cushion, the only particular item in the vast palace with nothing else.
These four people, overly cautious, forced others to act, to retrieve the cushion.
It looked extraordinary and had characters circulating.
“Crack!”
As soon as one of them made a move, a lightning arc instantly appeared, reducing them and several others around them to ashes, terrifyingly absurd.
“This is an ancient treasure, probably the cushion where the Lightning Dragon Hound comprehended the Dao and cultivated, holding its road,” Chi Lingkong said, his eyes shining brightly.
Afterward, they pushed a few more cultivators to probe, resulting in several more deaths.
“Let’s gamble!” Many despaired as they would die at this rate.
However, the four powerhouses stopped pressuring, as they noticed something key; this cushion could be a pivotal divine object, possibly controlling the entire Golden Giant Palace by mastering it.
The four exchanged glances in tacit understanding and then sat down, trying to slowly refine the cushion.
Initially, things went smoothly.
The four powerhouses drew on their vast experience, advancing methodically and gradually controlling the cushion.
However, unexpectedly, the treasure suddenly emitted a blazing light that repelled them all.
“What?!”
The four were horrified, feeling as if a massive, vague will had emerged, giving them goosebumps.
Simultaneously, the sound of the mountain collapsing was heard, causing the four powerhouses to change color and rush towards the first floor.
Shi Hao stood in the valley, about to take action, when he saw characters soaring into the sky, followed by the grand formation starting to disintegrate.
Then, the Golden Ancient Mountain cracked as the lightning-struck tree threatened to rise from the ground.
“Bad!” Shi Hao was shocked as the valley’s restrictions began to dissipate on their own.
“Boom!”
Then, the charred ancient tree emitted a waterfall of lightning, descending terrifyingly.
Inside the Golden Giant Palace, the complexions of the four powerhouses changed as the lightning surged towards them, as if meting out punishment!
“Run, break out.”
“Hey, the outside restrictions are gone, now is a great opportunity!”
The four rejoiced, and Chi Lingkong, in particular, stared at Shi Hao, showing a fierce smile and pounced forward.
“Crack!”
Contrary to everyone’s expectations, the lighting emitted by the lightning-struck tree turned into a massive divine waterfall, locking onto them and immediately flooding the area.
“What?” The four powerhouses turned pale, feeling a chill from head to toe.
They had touched the forbidden cushion, inviting disaster, and were now enveloped by lightning in mid-air, unable to escape.
Drool almost slid from Shi Hao’s mouth as he coveted the lightning-struck tree.
If it was indeed a magic artifact, it would be a supreme treasure for annihilating enemies if he could get it into his hands.
He wasn’t frightened or fleeing but instead activated the Pill Furnace.
This mysterious artifact, soaked in the Tianhe for long years, had already acquired a hint of the aura of the Immortal Dao Thunder.
He tried to communicate with the lightning-struck tree, to see if resonance could be aroused.
Surprisingly, it worked.
A fluctuation appeared within the lightning, causing the light to flicker.
However, this also gave the four powerhouses a lifeline.
Seizing the opportunity, they broke out frantically, rushing towards the aura.
At this moment, Shi Hao felt dread as he realized the danger after the communication.
With a thunderous sound, an even thicker bolt of lightning struck down like an ocean pouring from the sky.
“Ah…”
The four powerhouses screamed.
“You brat, you’ve doomed us!”
In all fairness, Shi Hao hadn’t intended any of this; this was merely an accidental killing.
Almost instantaneously, the four were emitting blue smoke, unable to resist.
“Lingkong, we’ll protect you to get past, kill him!” One of them, on the verge of death and harboring extreme hatred towards Shi Hao, stopped defending himself and activated characters to protect Chi Lingkong, hoping he could break through and slay Shi Hao.
Upon seeing this, the other two also made the same decision, figuring that if they were going to die anyway, they might as well let Chi Lingkong give it a try.
Boom!
Three of them were struck and sent flying, theoretically turning into dust due to calamity, but instead, they were enveloped by characters and transported towards the sacrificial altar.
Chi Lingkong emerged, half of his body charred and nearly roasted, emanating a meaty scent, but he was not dead.
“By the conscience of heaven and earth, I truly didn’t scheme against you guys,” Shi Hao said, with a very “sincere” appearance.
“Go to hell!” Chi Lingkong yelled, still talking about the conscience of heaven and earth; he was so angry he was nearly exploding.
Shi Hao didn’t move, simply holding a Pill Furnace, and lifting its lid.
“What’s going on?”
Chi Lingkong was taken aback.
Already severely injured, although he could still make a move, his reaction was one step slower.
As soon as the Pill Furnace was opened, lightning burst forth, and the aura of Immortal Dao filled the air.
It was like disturbing a hornet’s nest.
The lightning-struck tree thundered fiercely, and sheets of lightning fell down.
“Am I a target as well?” Shi Hao also felt a chill, using the lid of the Pill Furnace to cover his head and swiftly fleeing.
He no longer dared to deal with Chi Lingkong.
“Ah…”
Clearly, Chi Lingkong was now a massive target, as he had touched the meditation mat before.
Now the lightning surged violently, mostly heading straight for him.
He cried out in agony, struck until his entire body was charred and foul-smelling, his skin split open and his bones blackened.
Shi Hao was also struck, his hair standing on end, but fortunately, he was fast.
ƝօνǤօ.сο
He didn’t suffer a critical hit.
He put away the Pill Furnace, looked back, and immediately laughed.
“Old man, you’re really lousy.
I was thinking of having a decisive battle with you, how did you end up getting electrocuted into a dead dog?” He flew back.
Chi Lingkong’s face was char-black, his body twitching, blood froth vomited from his mouth, his life force nearly extinguished, but he still wasn’t dead, so the “Death Substitution Talismans” did not activate.
“Kid, just you wait, I will come back to kill you!” Chi Lingkong was filled with resentment and his gaze was sinister.
“Then let me kill you once first, the next time you come back, I will slay your True Body,” Shi Hao said, picking up a stone as large as a grinding plate from the ground and patting it onto his body.
“You…” Chi Lingkong was furious.
This fellow took a broken stone, channeled Divine Power into it, and “split his skull,” hitting him until his head was bleeding profusely.
This was also humiliating him; a great being that had ignited divine flames, was actually injured like a street ruffian, someone “splitting his skull,” his head throbbing with pain.
“You just wait!” He gritted his teeth and went to behead himself.
But Shi Hao was quicker.
With a stomp of his foot, he smashed his face, blooming with flowers, then kicked furiously, preventing him from beheading himself.
“Puh!”
Chi Lingkong was too frustrated, spitting out blood in anger, ready to self-destruct.
Shi Hao was decisive, slashing down with one hand, severing his head, then kicked him into the lightning, hiss, turning into charred ash.
The Beast Fang Life Talisman was miraculous, a sacred item from Primordial Heaven Secret Realm.
It reconstructed Chi Lingkong’s True Body, a shower of light enveloping him as he vanished instantly.
Before leaving, Chi Lingkong was filled with grudges, seething with hatred.
At the same time, he was shocked to find that Golden Mountain had collapsed.
The roots of the lightning-struck tree wrapped around a Golden Giant Palace, which sprang from the ground while the lightning and prohibitions all vanished.
Did he labor for someone else’s gain?
He howled, trembling continually with anger, far too unwilling, yet he could only disappear from this place.
Outside the entrance of the secret realm, people were discussing eagerly because among the four strong ones from Fire Demon Palace, three had fallen at the same time and had been transported back, causing a sensation.
“What happened, could they also have been slain by that young demon king?”
“Oh my god, if that’s true, another fearsome young Supreme has risen, not inferior to those renowned Primordials that shake the states!”
“Fire Demon Palace has truly run into a streak of bad luck…”
The Fire Demon Palace elder guarding the entrance to the secret realm nearly fainted, this incident was a big deal, he regretted giving himself several slaps.
The first three strong ones to return, their faces ashen, had perished so quickly, protected by talismans and returned; such a defeat had never happened before.
At this moment, a flash of light appeared on the altar, and Chi Lingkong was revealed.
The crowd was in an uproar, this meant that all of the Fire Demon Palace’s people were wiped out, none spared!
“Lingkong, you…
how did you come back as well?
Did you slay that accursed youth?” One of the three strong ones asked, his voice extremely urgent.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone petrified.
Guesses turned true?!
People’s expressions became strange, and the Venerables from Fire Demon Palace who had been killed earlier and sent back cried out in shock, the female Venerable said with a trembling voice: “That demon king…
also slew our uncles?”
As these words came out, the truth could no longer be concealed, causing a commotion; people were extremely astonished, then the place erupted in noise.
The people from Fire Demon Palace realized this was not the time for reckless talk and questions.
Today they had lost face, they would become the butt of jokes; such a record was a disgrace for a major school.
“Ah…” Chi Lingkong screamed, his fiery-red hair disheveled, unable to contain his fury.
Outside the entrance of the secret realm, cultivators were everywhere, a vast number, the news quickly spreading among them.
A young demon king had risen, shaking the world.
Who would he be, and why was there no hint of it before?
“Do you think it could be that ‘Desolate’?
The mysterious youth who left his name on the God Stele set up by Demon Lord, overshadowing ten states?” someone whispered quietly.
This immediately triggered waves of discussion, with many people starting to talk about it.
“I’m eagerly looking forward to it.
The offspring of Immortal Hall regard it as an insurmountable mountain, and Qin Hao possesses two supreme Immortal Bones.
Besides, there are other Primordials…
If this young demon king meets them, what kind of brilliant sparks will collide?”
Even some Sect Hierarchs were startled and began paying attention to this matter.
Meanwhile, Shi Ziling and his wife also wore unusual expressions, wondering how Qin Hao was doing inside.
If he encountered this extraordinary demon king, would he be a match?
At the same time, they also couldn’t help but think of their eldest son, feeling somewhat gloomy.
If he was still alive and his True Body came here, what kind of record would he have accomplished?
With tear-stained faces, it’s still early today, striving for tomorrow…
to become even earlier!
