Chapter 709 - 709: Archaic Ancestors
Chapter 709: Chapter 709: Archaic Ancestors
It’s not that the Reincarnation Runes were not strong enough, but the True God Realm was too high; Shi Hao was only in the Venerable Realm, so he was not able to Suppression Kill.
“You dare to pursue and kill me, go to hell!” The Zhan Tribe woman shouted loudly. Her whole body was glowing, her Mana surging. However, her body couldn’t withstand this shock and was rapidly cracking.
Moreover, something horrifying happened to her; although her Mana was robust and various characters fell upon Shi Hao’s body, this time they did not effectively heavily injure the opponent.
Shi Hao coughed up large mouthfuls of blood, but successfully withstood it. He had an ability like Magic Immunity, but it was impossible to completely grind away the characters because the opponent was a True God.
Shi Hao howled, closed in, and clenched his fists to bombard her. Both fists shone with light, bursting out an incomparable Divine Power. Such bodily strength was enough to turn a great mountain into dust.
The Zhan Tribe woman felt her heart pounding with fear. Her Mana was neutralized, she was already mortally wounded and was on the brink of falling. With such a profound realm, it was difficult to exert her power.
Her body was bleeding profusely, for recklessly using her Mana previously had caused all the cracks to burst open. At this time, the danger had reached its extreme.
“Bang!”
She tried to block with her hand, but her palm and fingers went numb from the shaking of a fist mark. The opponent’s physical strength was terrifying, not at all like that of a Venerable One.
With just this single strike, the Zhan Tribe middle-aged woman’s body shook, and her body burst open in many places, blood spattered high, and she was about to fall apart.
Because she had too many wounds on her body, many bones were broken and tendons snapped, and some parts were almost detached from the body. After this shake, things naturally deteriorated to the worst state.
“Like an ant, today you’ve climbed onto my head, you’re seeking death!” The Zhan Tribe woman scolded angrily. A light shone from her brow, forming characters, branding towards Shi Hao’s body.

However, Shi Hao took out the Pill Furnace, enlarged it, pressed forward to kill, and blocked these characters.
He had been at a disadvantage in the first strike; he did not expect the opponent to be so strong that even at death’s door, they could still injure him, his mouth spraying blood. Hence, he took out this treasure to avoid personal danger.
“Dang!”
The Pill Furnace trembled, resonating with a long rumble.
Shi Hao clenched another fist mark, executing a deadly attack.
“Boom!”
His hands moved, as if pushing the sun, moon, and stars, surrounded by radiance, transcendent and sacred. A pair of fist marks roared with bravery and invincibility.
The Zhan Tribe woman grunted. Although she blocked with her arms, her chest cracked open, her shoulder broke, and her head had a terrifying wound. She looked like shattered porcelain, clearly broken but forcibly glued together.
“Kill!”
Shi Hao shouted, suddenly swinging his leg. His legs, like divine serpents, whipped fiercely together. It was a precious symbol technique from the Primordial Heaven Secret Realm, on par with the Ground Shrinking Technique, also recorded on the Azure Bone Book.
Now that Mana was useless, Shi Hao only used its momentum, turning it into the most fierce physical attack. His legs like divine serpents struck the opponent’s body.
“Pfft!”
Finally, the Zhan Tribe woman could no longer hold on. Her body rapidly cracked, non-stop noises occurring, with dozens of blood flowers bursting from her body. She was falling apart.
“I am not willing!”
She looked up and angrily shouted. If it weren’t for Bone God crippling her, how could this be? As a True God, dying at the hands of a Venerable One was truly suffocating.
“Unwilling? Just endure it!” Shi Hao coldly said, seizing the time and attacking crazily because the Magic Immunity time was about to end.
“Boom!”
This time, with one punch from Shi Hao, the Zhan Tribe woman’s body was stained with blood, her right shoulder shattered and fell from her body.
“Bang!”
Then, Shi Hao spun, sweeping out a leg. The Zhan Tribe woman finally couldn’t hold on, screamed out loud, and her body burst apart, all wounds opening at the same time. She disintegrated.
“You go die as well!”
As the Zhan Tribe woman’s head fell, a light shone from her brow, Divine Fire blazing. She wanted to ignite herself, taking Shi Hao with her, bringing him on this path together.
Shi Hao was startled. Bone God’s final soul scream had clearly heavily damaged her divine soul, and yet it still held such power!
“Ch!”
His right palm sliced like a knife, chopping on her head, driving it apart, and then he quickly opened the Pill Furnace, kicking her inside and with a clang pressed the lid down.
Lightning flickered, Curses surged, and in a short while, the growls inside stopped.
Shi Hao shook the Pill Furnace, and a charred head fell out, then broke into pieces and completely perished.
As for the rest of the body left on Stone Mountain, it had already been ignited by Shi Hao with the innate sea of fire, burning brightly in the flames.
This time, it was clean and tidy; he had slaughtered a True God. In his hands, a golden fruit glowed, its rich fragrance making one’s pores open and the body relaxing.
“You killed her?”
When Yun Xi came out of the cauldrons, learned the result, and saw the remains, she was extremely shocked. This was not a master of the Divine Fire Realm; this was a big figure of the True One Realm, actually slain!
There were also rumors that the Primordial complete Venerables had cut down Divine Fire powers, but never had they heard of someone killing a super-strong being of the True One Realm.
Moreover, this young man likely had not reached the full completion of the Venerable Realm.
This was unbelievable!
Yun Xi was dumbstruck. Although peerlessly graceful, at this moment she was out of sorts, staring at him like she saw a monster, as if she had seen a ghost.
“I’ve said it, I’m the unbeatable myth. How about it, come roam the ends of the earth with me, and I’ll teach you later on,” Shi Hao joked.
Yun Xi puffed her cheeks, her fair lovely face complex in expression, her bright red lips parting again and again, finally turning into an exclamation, saying, “How did you do it?”
“He was almost killed by Bone God, I chased after, and directly slew her,” Shi Hao said lightly, not mentioning that the battle had actually been very perilous.
If he was even a step later and the Magic Immunity time passed, then he would have been the one to die.
“Alright.” Yun Xi nodded, incredibly impressed inside. No matter how it was said, a youth killing a True God was a myth. If word got out, it would certainly rock all the ancient schools.
Shi Hao also felt a great sense of accomplishment. Now at seventeen years old, this was the strongest enemy he had slain, a cause for joy.
“Let’s go,” Shi Hao called to Yun Xi.
“Leaving the ancient battlefield now?” Yun Xi frowned, worried. With such a significant event as the slaying of a True God, the Zhan Tribe would surely be furious.
“Off to hunt. Let’s slay a Dragon Sparrow before we depart,” Shi Hao said, and after speaking, he grabbed her hand, moved as fast as the wind and lightning, and charged towards a mountain range.
“You’re going to take action again?” Yun Xi was astonished.
This was a mountainous area; Shi Hao had personally witnessed the Dragon Sparrow fleeing into this region. He didn’t think it could have gone far since its wings were severed, and its body was riddled with bloody holes, nearly dead.
Upon reaching the mountains, Shi Hao found some bloodstains, his eyes sparkled, and he licked his lips excitedly.
Yun Xi felt faint at that moment. Was this guy here just to satisfy his appetite? She couldn’t help but ask, “You’re hunting the Dragon Sparrow just to eat it?”
“Of course!”
Watching him assert confidently as if it were the most natural thing, Yun Xi was speechless. What kind of person was he?
Shi Hao pursued the trail and eventually the clues ceased. The Dragon Sparrow had vanished from a particular mountain range without a trace.
“We lost it,” Yun Xi regretted.
“Impossible. Based on my years of hunting experience, it cannot escape. Such a sudden disappearance suggests panic, likely resorting to some Secret Technique to flee instantly, fearing the Bone God would pursue and is now lying in wait,” Shi Hao said, looking like an old hand.
“You’re so sure?”
“Of course. I’m a good hunter. It may fool the Bone God, but it can’t fool me.” Shi Hao grew up hunting in the great desolate area.
Sure enough, two hours later, they picked up on some faint trails, tracking through a stretch of mountains before finally discovering the critically injured and near-death Dragon Sparrow.
The valley was soaked in blood; the Dragon Sparrow was more severely injured than the female from the Zhan Tribe, nearly dead. It had consumed a number of pills, healing here.
Its wings were severed, one claw shattered, and it was only its tenacious will to live that had propelled it here using its last bit of Mana.
“You’re seeking your own deaths!” it was alert, awakening immediately upon seeing the two approach, its eyes flashing with Divine Radiance.
“Stop scaring people. In your condition, I’ve already slaughtered one, coming specifically for you,” Shi Hao said calmly.
The Dragon Sparrow’s gaze turned icy. Its body lit up with characters densely covering it. Despite losing its wings, it used its Mana to fly into the sky, not wanting to be passive and ready to fight or flee.
“If you try to deal with me, you’ll pay with your lives!”
Shi Hao sneered at its words: “Your Hundred Birds Mercenary Group has been chasing me. Now it’s time to settle the score, killing you, the leader, couldn’t be more fitting.”
He then asked Yun Xi to hide inside a cauldron, and the great battle began!
Even with the enemy on the verge of death, the fight was fierce and perilous, as it involved a True God.
Finally, Shi Hao pierced through the creature’s body. But at the last moment, due to a lack of control, the Dragon Sparrow dove into the Pill Furnace, corrupted by the Curse, struck by lightning, and charred black.
He beat his chest and stomped his feet in regret. Now how was he supposed to eat it? Such a pity!
After dealing with the Dragon Sparrow’s corpse, he released Yun Xi, with a mournful expression, utterly dejected.
Yun Xi felt an urge to go berserk. This was clearly a remarkable, peerless victory, yet this guy looked like this after the triumph, rendering her speechless.
This time, they swiftly left, escaping far from the battlefield.
Because they knew that soon this place would be in turmoil. With two True Gods fallen and the Golden Bodhi Fruit emerged, those forces would not let things lie.
Particularly beneath Skull Mountain where a Celestial God’s Divine Nirvana was stirring, it could provoke massive upheavals, and perhaps an earth-shattering great war.
The two exhausted their utmost speed in their escape, trying to leave this whirlpool of events.
Days later, Shi Hao and Yun Xi entered the largest ancient battlefield within the Scarlet Plains, spreading over two hundred thousand miles, taking up one-third of the plain.
This place was extremely gloomy, a fearsome land said to be where taboo figures had perished, turning it into cursed soil, cut off from the world, where many treasures would fail to function.
It was precisely for this reason they believed hiding here might offer a chance to survive and escape their fate.
The vast and eerie battlefield was filled with dangers, and along the way, they saw many perilous lands guarded by White Bone True Gods, as if venturing into the Underworld.
“Boom!”
Two days later, a massive disturbance swept across the Scarlet Plains, shaking the heavens and the earth, an all-reaching tumult akin to a collapse of the starry skies!
“What’s that?”
Shi Hao was alarmed. The power was astounding; the sky was filled with resplendent characters shining on everything, as if three thousand greater worlds were unfolding!
In an instant, countless Divine Demons appeared, revolving around a radiant figure seated in the void, chanting sutras, making the center creature look like the supreme divine being!
“An Archaic Ancestor…has resurrected!” Yun Xi’s voice trembled, and she was overjoyed, knowing their day of salvation had come, finally witnessing this moment.
“Don’t act rashly!” Shi Hao pulled her back immediately, his expression utterly serious as he stared into the distance.
At the far edge of the horizon, another vast figure appeared, sitting there indistinctly, head crowned by the heavens, overlooking all life.
“What is that?” Yun Xi’s heart trembled.
Merely seated, that being filled all space, as if the ancestor of all gods had descended to preach.
Stars emerged one after another, in his hair, on his fingertips, across his body, and then all began to circle him.
He was indistinct, exuding an ancient and timeless aura, as if living in the past, returning from the Primordial times!
“The War Emperor, there’s still a War Emperor alive in the world!” Yun Xi finally realized, shaking in awe; this was the taboo existence that had created the Zhan Tribe’s supreme mythology!
