Perfect World

Chapter 712: Chapter 712: One Person
 

“Make your move, capture them all.” The young man gave the order.

At the beginning of the encounter, Shi Hao became careless, thinking that with his magic immunity, he could instantly take down the old servant and capture the royal descendant.

Unexpectedly, the young man made a covert move, wielding a strange magic artifact, a pure white Jade Purifying Bottle, attempting to imprison him within it, negating his magic immunity!

One could see Shi Hao’s body rapidly shrinking, from his original height to just two inches tall, flying towards that bottle, already at the mouth of the vase.

The old servant aided him, jointly activating the bottle.

This bottle, as smooth as jade and crystal clear, is adorned with some very unique characters that can capture mountains and rivers, extremely terrifying and extraordinary.

“Capture that woman, I will Suppress and Kill him,” the young man said, pleased with himself. This was his first time activating the bottle and he had achieved great success right away.

“Open!”

Shi Hao roared, no longer caring for anything else, his entire body erupted with characters, releasing a chunk of Yellow Mud from his pill furnace, hurling it forward.

“What is this thing?” The young man screamed.

Because the chunk of Yellow Mud stuck to the mouth of the bottle, it lodged there, corroding the patterns on the bottle and causing the vessel to rapidly dull and lose its luster.

Shi Hao was already close to the mouth of the bottle; it was a close shave. He was almost imprisoned inside, only a few inches away, but he seized this opportunity and finally escaped.

“Impossible, this Treasured Artifact is a Rare Secret Treasure, almost transformed into a Celestial God artifact, how could it fail!?” The young man was frantic.

A Venerable One from the Zhan Tribe adored him and had bestowed him with this artifact for his trials on the Scarlet Plains. In theory, it should be invincible, but it was corrupted.

Shi Hao quickly grew back to his original size, stretched upon feeling the wind, from two inches tall to normal human height, and landed on the ground. He immediately made his move, fiercely attacking the old servant in the Divine Fire Realm.

In his view, this man was the most dangerous right now. Eliminating him would determine the overall situation.

Boom!

At this moment, the magic immunity hadn’t worn off yet, and there was still a bit of time left. The two engaged in combat, blood splashed, and the old servant’s arms were broken, flying horizontally into the air.

“You…” He was profoundly shocked.

“Take it!” Beside him, the young man shouted, still trying to use the Jade Purifying Bottle, but it was in vain. He tried to dislodge the Yellow Mud with another artifact, only to have it instantly ruined.

This Yellow Mud had an extraordinary origin, it came from a vast, uninhabited forbidden area. Of course, it wasn’t just any lump of Yellow Mud, but rather, the soil that it soaked through and transformed into.

Even so, it caused a secret treasure to lose its effect.

“Pfft!”

The old servant was no match and was slain by Shi Hao.

The group that surrounded Yun Xi was shocked and wanted to escape, but it was too late. Shi Hao decisively struck, killing them one by one, and none escaped.

“Now it’s your turn.” Shi Hao advanced, making his move against the young man.

The battle was no suspense, as the young man from the Zhan Tribe, though extraordinary, stood no more than a few dozen moves against Shi Hao before being beheaded.

In fact, among his peers, there were not many who could withstand Shi Hao for so many moves. This young man was quite rare and exceptional.

Shi Hao collected the Yellow Mud, carefully observing the Jade Purifying Bottle. He was somewhat speechless; this was a good treasure, but now the characters were significantly damaged.

“What a pity,” he lamented.

“You actually blocked a Divine Artifact.” Yun Xi was astonished.

Through this battle, Shi Hao was reminded that magic immunity was not invincible. Facing a True God, he could only flee, and against exceptionally high-level artifacts, it would also be ineffective.

The two quickly left and continued on their way.

“Have we been targeted? I hid inside your cauldron, but why are we always being found?” Yun Xi expressed her concerns.

Because, after continuing their journey, Shi Hao encountered several dangers. Yun Xi hid inside the cauldron and could feel the intense battles he fought outside.

After a few such instances, when she emerged from her confinement, she found Shi Hao pale, his clothes covered in bloodstains.

“It’s not that we’ve been targeted, but rather that many groups from the Zhan Tribe were dealt with by us. They issued a death order that anyone who is not of the Zhan Tribe should be killed on sight,” said Shi Hao with a grim expression. After consecutive battles, his condition was far from good.

He leaned against a rock, his face lacking color, not long ago he had even encountered the War King of their tribe, an exceptional talent. However, without the chance to fight, a True God emerged by the War King’s side and chased after him, almost leading to his death.

After a great escape, Shi Hao fled tens of thousands of miles and entered the deepest part of this battlefield.

Later that night, he was wounded again, covered in blood, nearly killed by the True God accompanying the War King, and his bones broke in over a dozen places, including a crack on his forehead.

Shi Hao was severely injured, an injury to his very essence. If not for his adeptness with the Ground Shrinking Technique and using the Earth Escape Skill to enter the deepest part of the battlefield, he would have died.

Even so, his injuries were extremely severe.

Yun Xi broke free from the bone cauldron and appeared before him. Seeing this scene, she was greatly distressed, with tears in her eyes, she said, “I’m sorry, it’s my fault you’re in this state.” She asked Shi Hao to go on alone and not worry about her anymore.

“There’s no need for self-blame. Even if I were alone, I could not escape. The Zhan Tribe will not give up,” said Shi Hao.

Yun Xi sighed lightly; the debt of gratitude she owed was massive. Shi Hao had escorted her for hundreds of thousands of miles; if not for this young man, she would have been captured or perished long ago.

“Thank you,” she didn’t know what else to say.

“You won’t be able to escape.” Suddenly, a cold voice came through, as a group of people approached from a distance.

Among them, a young man around twenty with long eyebrows that extended into his temples, shining phoenix eyes, and skin like white jade that glimmered with a crystal light, possessed a special charm.

The War King!

He had arrived, and he was the one speaking.

“Do you dare to fight me one on one?” Shi Hao stood up, covered in blood but imposing, like a dragon or tiger unleashed.

“I originally had the desire to fight, but sadly, you’re no longer worthy. You’re so gravely injured, any Venerable One could kill you,” said the War King with a cold and unfeeling tone.

He had the confidence and the invincible aura. The Zhan Tribe once issued commands across the world as an Imperial Clan. A tribe so terrifying and ancient that a War King was only born every several generations, how could he be ordinary?

In this world, the coexistence of three kings is but a rarity.

“Stop the nonsense, surrender your life.” Shi Hao shouted.

“I fear dirtying my hands,” said War King, hands behind his back, with phoenix eyes cold and piercing, his flesh as white as jade, even his hair glowing crystal clear, his entire demeanor transcendent.

This was an insult; he looked down upon Shi Hao in his current state, unworthy of battle, feeling that the person before him did not deserve his hand.

“Kill him for me.” He turned away, disdainful.

Some Venerable Ones received the order and pounced forward.

In the shadows, that True God also moved, closing in at high speed.

Shi Hao sighed, turned, and fled, once again delving deep into the soil, with the True God in hot pursuit!

When he resurfaced, three blood moons peeked through the ancient battlefield’s mist, casting a mournful red light, yet they could not conceal the pallor of Shi Hao’s face.

His injuries were severe, with over a dozen broken bones, arms and legs fractured into sections; had it not been for the support of mana, he would have collapsed on the ground.

Furthermore, his Primordial Spirit and body were both terribly wounded, his essence damaged. Continuing this way, he might dry up and die.

“How are you…?” Yun Xi anxiously asked, fetching some Spiritual Spring for him to drink, her peerless countenance filled with worry.

“Let me rest for a bit.” Shi Hao was extremely fatigued, having just endured a distant strike from the True God, his body almost burst open, his Primordial Spirit nearly shattered.

His breathing was ragged, his chest heaving violently; after persistent skirmishes and a grand battle to this point, his body was severely overdrawn, and he could hardly stand anymore, the injuries frightful.

“It’s alright; you’ll get better,” said Yun Xi, as if remembering something, her voice breaking as she quickly produced a pill and urged him to swallow it.

“What is this?” Shi Hao exclaimed in surprise. The pill was as large as a dragon’s eye, wrapped in purple aura and densely covered in characters, pulsing with life inside the Jade Vase as if trying to escape.

“This is the Heavenly Pill, a rare secret treasure; no matter how grave your injuries, it can restore you instantly,” Yun Xi explained.

Shi Hao was shocked; indeed, the pill was priceless, on par with the Heaven Mending Pill and could save a life.

In the Lower Realm, he had once seized a Heaven Mending Pill from Yue Chan. However, after the Seven Gods Descending and the final battle, his clansmen had forced him to ingest it.

His resurrection from death might not only be due to the Divine Medicine, Pond of Rebirth, and his strong will to live, but also possibly connected to the Heaven Mending Pill.

“Hurry and take it, don’t delay,” Yun Xi, with her pure white jade-like hand, personally brought the Heavenly Pill to his lips, touching them.

Shi Hao nodded, not being finicky; his injuries were too severe, and he couldn’t hold on any longer. Having escaped from the hands of a True God was already defying the heavens.

If he didn’t recover immediately, once the pursuers arrived, he and Yun Xi would surely die.

The purple precious pill entered his mouth, turning into a golden liquid, releasing glowing characters, and instantly surged into his limbs and bones, nourishing his body and Primordial Spirit with a miraculously effective outcome!

Without any side effects, in merely half an hour, Shi Hao stood up lively and vigorous again, brimming with vitality, his broken bones healed, full of energy, restored to his peak condition.

“Can the effect be this pronounced?!” Despite being mentally prepared, he was still astonished.

“You’re okay, that’s good.” Yun Xi put away her worried expression, finally showing a smile, her beautiful eyes twinkling, skin snowy white, a smile blooming with charm.

Clearly, this rare precious pill was extremely valuable, and due to her special status, she could possess one.

“They’re coming again!” Shi Hao grabbed Yun Xi’s hand, turned around, and ran.

A long time afterwards, they stopped in a secret place. Shi Hao said coldly, “Do they want to force me to kill their War King?”

He was angry, as the War King and his entourage kept pursuing and trying to kill him, unable to shake them off, he decided to take a risk!

“Don’t be reckless,” Yun Xi said, very worried.

“Every time that True God hunts me down, he leaves the War King for a while. I have a chance to strike and kill him!” Shi Hao said, his eyes shining like rainbows.

Yun Xi found that the young man had an indescribable beauty, an invincible demeanor, confident and steadfast, his whole being enveloped in a sacred light.

Confident people have the most charisma. At this moment, Shi Hao, with firm belief and confident demeanor, shone brightly; he was going to kill the War King!

What kind of boldness was this? Know that this was one of the ten strongest clans of the past higher realms, the mighty War Emperor Clan, and their War King was truly defiant of heaven.

Yun Xi looked at him, slightly stunned, a bit lost in thought, then quickly came back to her senses, her face blushing slightly.

“Don’t take risks!” She advised, worried for Shi Hao’s safety.

“Who am I? Born with divine martial prowess, why should I fear a mere War King? I will surely slay him!” Shi Hao said, his spirits soaring.

Yun Xi was taken aback, feeling his confidence and a hint of vanity, a familiar sensation, but she shook her head and still tried to persuade him.

“Don’t worry, watch how I slay him.” Shi Hao decided to take a risk. He created a Guardian Spirit, had it take Yun Xi and escape, diverting the True God.

“He is a True God, and he will quickly realize the ruse and turn back to kill you,” Yun Xi said anxiously.

“It doesn’t matter, I just need a little time. Besides, if necessary, show him the Golden Bodhi Fruit. He will definitely hesitate and follow a bit longer.” Shi Hao handed the Golden Bodhi Fruit to the Guardian Spirit.

Then, he turned around and resolutely took the path back, going to kill the War King!

Three blood moons hung in the sky, and in the depths of the Ancient Battlefield, divine demons roared intermittently. But the land here was quiet, the ground hard and dry, feeling like stepping on iron and stone as one walked.

Tap, tap, tap…

The sound of footsteps echoed in the desolate land, the bloody moonlight casting down, making the figure of one man particularly heroic as he faced a group of people.

Shi Hao was back, having found the War King and his followers!

“You’ve really got guts coming to see me,” said the War King, extraordinary and transcendent, with long eyebrows extending into his hair, phoenix eyes spirited, body like jade, his whole being radiating a brilliant light, extremely powerful and formidable.

“What are you? I’ve come back to kill you!” Shi Hao spoke softly, yet carried an undeniable authority, stepping forward. Under the blood moon, he stood tall and straight, his eyes sparkling.

With every step he took, the land trembled, resonating with him, pulsating with him, his blinding sacred radiance burst forth, as if a Great Emperor had descended to the world.

“Who am I? I am the War King of the War Emperor Clan, invincible in this generation. And what are you?” The War King’s gaze was cold and pitiless.

“I am nothing, but one day, perhaps I alone will be the Imperial Clan, I alone will be the royal family. I do not need to rely on the glory of my ancestors. I myself am the Emperor!” Shi Hao said calmly.(To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly passes at Qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation.
