Perfect World

Chapter 691: Chapter 691: The End of the Heritage Site Chapter 691: Chapter 691: The End of the Heritage Site Shi Hao sat cross-legged, near a meditation cushion.

Within the Pill Furnace, silver electric arcs, crimson lightning, golden streaks of lightning, and black thunderbolts…

interwove together, brimming with the aura of the Immortal Dao.

Two pages of Golden Paper floated up and down, absorbing the laws of thunder from the Celestial River, becoming more crystalline and dazzling until, at last, they vaguely reflected a Minor Thousand World.

Shi Hao was astonished; he felt that he was not seeing things wrongly, as in the midst of the electric light, faint shadows emerged, casting an image of ruins.

There, many gigantic black mountains existed, yet all were fragmented; pieces of golden palaces lay scattered about, most of which had unfortunately collapsed; and there was a silver river, nearly dried up.

It was a field of ruins that appeared mysterious and hazy, with debris strewn about and lightning swirling around, a place mortals could not approach.

“Thunder Emperor’s Palace!”
Shi Hao took in a sharp breath of cold air; among the ruins, he saw a plaque with these three characters written on it, though it was already covered in dust.

“Is this deep within the No-Man’s Land?” he murmured to himself because according to legends, the Thunder Emperor did not belong to the Three Thousand States of the higher realms, but rather, came from an even more vast and mysterious forbidden area.

Suddenly, the meditation cushion beside Shi Hao vibrated and also emitted a faint light, as did the battered shining armor on his body, resonating with the Golden Paper.

“Eh?” He was surprised to see the vague images shift, and living creatures appeared.

In just an instant, Shi Hao felt an overwhelming presence rushing toward him, facing it was like standing against the entire Universe, powerless to contend, an oppression that made one suffocate.

This was just a humanoid creature, standing outside the ruins of the Thunder Emperor’s Palace, like a ruler from the primeval times, overseeing the nine heavens and ten lands, enshrouded in mists, and yet had an aura that was terribly intimidating.

Even separated by ancient times, a vast number of years apart, not in the same time and space, Shi Hao still felt a palpitation in his heart, as if he were an ant staring up at an Azure Drake.

This creature was too domineering!

“Primordial Heaven Supreme?” Shi Hao whispered, as he recognized the shining armor on the person, forged from Sky Patching Stone and of a light green color, capable of repairing the heavens and refining the Green Sky, a supreme Immortal Material.

He had once seen this set of armor in the Armament Burial Mound, covered with cracks, lying within a Crystal Tomb, immovable, accompanying an ancient Supreme in their eternal rest.

Soon, another figure appeared, walking from the vast depths of the No-Man’s Land, entering the ruins of the Thunder Emperor’s Palace, confronting the Primordial Heaven Supreme.

The two engaged in a fierce battle swiftly.

The scene became blurred, their mere presence in the fight causing Gods to tremble with fear, an utterly terrifying encounter, with chaotic killing energy crashing like the end of the world.

Shi Hao paled, hurriedly circulating the Primal True Solution to protect his mind!

Was this a projection recorded by the Golden Paper?

Then, the meditation cushion emitted light, revealing Bone Text that recorded a secret history.

Primordial Heaven Supreme, severely injured and on the brink of death, forced his way out of the forbidden area’s ruins, bringing back two pages of Golden Paper, which was the legacy of the Thunder Emperor, and then he started to go into seclusion.

“The Thunder Emperor, purportedly an Immortal, even the Primordial Heaven Supreme wanted to delve into his methods,” Shi Hao was astonished to have obtained such information.

Regrettably, Primordial Heaven Supreme failed in his attempt at nirvana due to grave injuries and ultimately perished, his body and dao vanishing.

He had a Lightning Dog, which received the inheritance of the Thunder Emperor, and eventually evolved into a Dragon Mastiff, which goes to show how earth-shattering and historically significant this precious symbol was indeed.

“Hmm, this battered shining armor on me, was it also brought out from the depths of the Boundless Forbidden Area?” Although Shi Hao had earlier speculated, he was still somewhat surprised to have it confirmed by the markings on the meditation cushion.

Alas, there was only a brief mention and no detailed explanation.

“What, the Thunder Emperor might be one of the Ten Fierce Beasts?” When he saw this part of the Bone Text, Shi Hao was truly shocked, bewildered, and his heart violently shaken.

The so-called Primeval Ten Fierce Beasts are but a term used by later generations.

In fact, the Primeval era was their doom, the Ten Fierce Beasts existed in an extremely ancient time, it’s hard to pinpoint the era they originated from.

Of course, some say that among the Ten Fierce Beasts are beings that are still alive in this world today, never having perished, the true — Immortals.

“Divine dao, Immortal dao, why do I feel that there is a tremendous secret within this?” Shi Hao muttered to himself, nowadays everyone speaks of the divine dao, even the realms of cultivation are described in this way.

Yet, when mentioning the ancient past, it always brings up the Immortals.

Regardless of what’s said, he learned the origin of the Golden Paper, and understood its supreme value, even the Primordial Heaven Supreme wanted to switch to this method after reaching nirvana!

Shi Hao did not delay any further, observing the Bone Texts on the Golden Paper, because they would only materialize when absorbing the aura of Immortal Dao Thunder.

On the Golden Dao Platform, a fierce battle erupted amongst the fighters, fighting over the Azure Bone pieces, and some were keeping an eye on him, refusing to leave, quietly waiting for the Thunderous Force to dissipate.

It was a bloodbath, the dao platform stained with blood, factions clashing for supremacy, all for the sake of snatching the ultimate inheritance within the secret realm.

“Damn!” Shi Hao was startled, because the two pages of Golden Paper finally began to calm down.

The Heavenly Scorpion, Jade Mantis, and several other Primordial figures eyed him greedily and pounced over.

“I’m not showing off my power, do you take me for a sick cat?!” Shi Hao roared as he got up.

“Infant, don’t act rashly, come this way!” the demonic deity secretly transmitted, they had already gained a lot, obtaining the Golden Paper was more important than anything else.

Besides, they had also gained some insight into Divine Skills from the Azure Bone piece.

Especially the Taiyin Jade Rabbit and the little fatty, although they were beaten and fled head over heels by the crowd earlier, they had held onto the Azure Bone piece for quite some time and truly gained immense benefits.

“Still thinking of escaping?!” The man holding the golden lamps finally made a move against Shi Hao, his expression cold, one of the strongest Primordials in the area.

He was awe-inspiring, his soul force surging like a vast ocean, striding like a dragon and tiger, pressing in aggressively.

Above his head, the precious symbol on the golden lamp lit up, and from the lamp’s wick emerged a shower of light that transformed into fire-red stars, aiming to Suppression Kill Shi Hao, and atop each star sat a deity, mysterious and terrifying!

“Swoosh!”
At the same time, Zhen Gu made his move, holding the Coagulated Blood, transformed into a Crimson War Spear that pierced through the void, whistling as it traveled, with its tip followed by a swarm of Divine Demon phantasms, advancing towards Shi Hao.

Furthermore, deities such as the Jade Mantis also attacked, the murderous aura boiling.

It was a great battle, Shi Hao fighting valiantly, but he soon bled from the onslaught of so many powerful adversaries surrounding him, including Divine Spirits.

It was already astonishing that he hadn’t fallen immediately.

Silently, the azure scorpion’s tail appeared, piercing through Shi Hao’s protective characters.

If not for the Unique Cave Heaven blocking it, he would have been nailed alive for sure.

This Heavenly Scorpion tail was too formidable; it had just recently pierced directly through a Primordial’s body, a bloody and cruel scene – truly the sharpest poisonous spear.

Shi Hao narrowly escaped disaster, the cave’s weakening of his characters slowed the scorpion tail, but his shoulder was still broken, and black blood flowed out on the spot.

“Boom!”
He quickly channeled the Bone Text, his blood shooting up over ten meters high, promptly expelling all the poisonous blood, and a piece of his flesh burst apart and fell away.

It is known that Shi Hao boasts a body as impervious as a Vajra, yet even so, he was still pierced by the scorpion tail, leaving a small hole.

“This damn shining armor!” he muttered to himself, the shoulder of his armor had a big hole, precisely where the Heavenly Scorpion tail had stabbed through.

Although it was a piece of mysterious treasure, there were times when it really wasn’t too reliable.

Everyone else turned pale at the sight, even the Successor of Immortal Hall and the man with the golden lamps felt a chill – this Heavenly Scorpion was indeed one of the most terrifying Divine Fire Realm powerhouses of the secret realm.

“If we were at the same realm, it couldn’t pierce through even if it tried, but it is now a Divine Spirit, my flesh cannot withstand its tail sting.” Shi Hao’s eyes were cold, having suffered such a loss, he began to counterattack.

“`
“Buzz!”
The scorpion tail swept across the sky, recklessly stabbing again, because the Heavenly Scorpion had witnessed the great battle between Shi Hao and the Successor of Immortal Hall, and believed it could Suppression Kill him, after all, it was a Divine Spirit itself.

Pfft!

The next moment, the scorpion tail struck successfully, reaching in front of Shi Hao’s chest and splashing a trickle of blood, leaving the crowd shocked with varied expressions.

“The young demon king…

just got killed like this?”
“He actually succeeded!”
However, a miserable scream froze everyone’s expressions; the cry came from the Heavenly Scorpion itself.

In front of Shi Hao’s chest was a lump of rotten Yellow Mud, which was pierced by the Heavenly Scorpion’s tail.

The result was that the deep blue, highly venomous tail quickly dissolved and turned into a muddy blood.

Not only that, the trend rapidly spread, moving swiftly up from the scorpion’s tail hook, turning the entire blue tail yellow and into a pool of rotting mud, with blood splattering high.

“Ah…”
The Heavenly Scorpion screamed in agony; all its Divine Skills resided in that tail, and now that it was destroyed, it was as if a Supreme Bone of the human race had been removed – if not entirely crippled, it was close to it.

This was an astonishing twist of fate.

Many people changed color; this was the Yellow Mud brought in by the Sun God Vine from the vast No-Man’s Land, previously taken away by Shi Hao using the Pill Furnace, now unexpectedly revealing its power.

Boom!

Shi Hao showed no mercy and charged forth, his fists glowing, with the essence of karma and Kun Peng’s Mysteries infused within, he struck the Heavenly Scorpion.

At the same time, other people also revealed different colors, fearing the Heavenly Scorpion’s recovery, and took action one after another, also intending to eliminate this fearsome Divine Spirit.

Alas for the Heavenly Scorpion, once magnificent and powerful, it was ultimately blown apart by the crowd, bursting into a blood mist, both form and spirit extinguished.

“What a pity, that scorpion’s flesh was white and tender, looking like crabmeat, so recklessly destroyed,” Shi Hao said with regret.

Hearing this, everyone else rolled their eyes.

Seeing Shi Hao using the Pill Furnace to carry the Yellow Mud, everyone was solemn, not daring to make any rash moves; that was a great threat.

“Carry on!”
The Taiyin Jade Rabbit, pursued haphazardly jumping around, tossed the Azure Bone Book to Shi Hao.

With a “buzz,” the Azure Bone chunk lit up, and a series of characters entered his heart.

“Golden Serpent Leg.”
Shi Hao was momentarily dumbfounded.

Do snakes have legs?

Soon enough, he understood this secret technique; a method of the human race inspired by observing snakes and dragons, creating a precious symbol.

However, ultimately not using the word ‘dragon’, it was directly named Golden Serpent Leg.

Although the name wasn’t astonishing or dominating, after a bit of reflection, it was evident that this Divine Skill was very complex and even terrifying!

Otherwise, it would not have been included in the Precious Symbol Book by a Supreme, and moreover, it was considered a secret among secrets!

At this time, everyone on the Golden Dao Platform made their moves, all of them attacking Shi Hao because he had incited public anger, having obtained the Golden Paper and captured the Azure Bone Book, which was intolerable.

Shi Hao fled, wanting to continue his comprehension, but unfortunately, the Bone Book was weird; the same person could only acquire one precious symbol at a time, and it would remain dormant for a while, making it difficult to immediately realize another Divine Skill.

Shi Hao shook his hand and threw out the Azure Bone Book.

He had to make a choice; otherwise, with everyone bombarding him, even if there was Celestial River Water in the Pill Furnace, he could not withstand it.

“Grandpa, let’s go!” Shi Hao secretly transmitted his voice, using this opportunity to head in the opposite direction, initiating a breakout.

The grandfather and grandson duo leapt off the Golden Dao Platform and stormed through the chaos, leaving the area.

Still, half of the people chased after them, while the other half stayed behind to dispute over the Azure Bone Book.

“`
“How can I leave this ancient temple filled with chaotic mist?” Shi Hao muttered to himself; entering was done through teleportation, but finding an exit seemed elusive.

The grandfather and grandson duo ran, and soon they were sweating profusely and somewhat anxious.

“Elder, how can we leave?” Shi Hao shouted, addressing the rules governing the inheritance or possibly the artifact spirit hidden in the shadows.

“Are you sure you want to leave and not compete for the Supreme inheritance any longer?” that grand voice asked.

After receiving a response, Shi Hao was overjoyed and said, “Certain!”
One must make choices and also be content.

After obtaining the Golden Paper, what else was there to linger for?

If one was too greedy, death in this place was certain.

“Swipe!”
A character light appeared, enveloping both Shi Hao and the demonic deity, and the next moment they left that place.

“Me too, me too!” the little white rabbit cried out, furiously kicking its legs, very dissatisfied.

The others suddenly hesitated.

If they were to chase after in such a manner, they would sever their chances with the Azure Bone Book completely, which was a troubling decision.

“Chii!”
Various rays of light shimmered, and eventually, some people followed, while others ran back to compete for the Azure Bone Book.

This time, Shi Hao and the others crossed directly over the Nine Holy Mountains, appearing outside the land of inheritance and emerged from the light gate above the Immortal Pond.

“Boom!”
Just as they came out, they encountered a sneak attack.

A golden toad extended its tongue, sweeping over like a waterfall.

“Hit!”
Shi Hao sacrificed the Yellow Mud and carried with it some of the Celestial River Water to protect his body.

The golden toad, with its keen instincts and perception, quickly dodged and showed a cautious expression.

“Ah!”
In the next moment, a scream was heard.

The golden toad’s tongue swept up a Centipede at the Divine Fire Realm that had pursued them out of the gate, swallowing it whole.

“Pfft!”
At the same time, an Azure Flood Dragon made its move, cutting a Jade Mantis in half at the waist as it pursued from the gate, gulping it down.

Shi Hao was shocked.

The golden toad and the Azure Flood Dragon were among the most powerful creatures in the secret realm.

He had encountered them before and they appeared to exceed the Divine Fire Realm, terrifyingly powerful.

He hadn’t expected them to be guarding this place.

The land of inheritance had restrictions.

These creatures had also entered before but withdrew before reaching the Nine Holy Mountains because their realms were suppressed.

They could only reach the Divine Fire Realm and were worried about being ambushed inside, which was too frustrating for them.

“My young friend, don’t rush.

We can sit down and talk.” It was at this moment that a creature spoke.

Shi Hao felt he could break through, but seeing this creature made him lose some confidence.

Even with the Pill Furnace, the Celestial River Water, and the Yellow Mud, he felt it might be uncertain.

It was an ancient tree, charred all over as if it had suffered a serious illness, moving with tree roots as feet.

It was none other than the Demonic Blood Ghost God Tree.

“Elder, what would you like to discuss?” Shi Hao steadied his mind and asked.

“We have a connection.

I have no intention of harming you; rest assured,” the Demonic Blood Ghost God Tree said, its voice calm.

Shi Hao didn’t quite believe it.

He had previously lured the curse of the Celestial River Water into the old tree’s body, causing it to cough incessantly and run wildly.

Could it really let him go?

“Beyond the Three Thousand States of the higher realms lies my homeland, and the armor you wear also originates from there.

This is fate; we are not enemies,” the old tree said.

Shi Hao was taken aback.

ƝοѵǤᴑ.ᴄο

He was very eager to know about the No-Man’s Land beyond the Three Thousand States, that vast area, which instantly piqued his interest and made him want to learn more.
