The Protagonists' Chat Group: Beyond the Boundaries

Wu Wang's Mansion.

Shi Yi opened his eyes. He had received the report, and his expression was utterly calm: "I'll go take a look!"

He arrived in the Virtual God Realm. Shi Yi's divine light was restrained, and his Dao rhyme was natural, possessing a quality of returning to simplicity.

Ever since Shi Jian attacked Wu Wang's Mansion, Martial King had appeared and meticulously guided him. This was all so that he could defeat Shi Hao. To wash away the humiliation of Wu Wang's Mansion.

Therefore, during this period, Shi Yi had made unimaginable progress. Although he hadn't stepped into the Spiritual Realm, he had Broken Through the tenth layer of the Cave Heaven Realm. His strength was extraordinary.

"The Heavy Pupils has appeared!"

The Virtual God Realm was in an uproar; another protagonist, besides Shi Hao, had also appeared.

The two Supreme youths had both appeared in the Void Realm, gazing at each other from a great distance. The atmosphere was incredibly tense. Countless onlookers watched.

"Is my bone still useful?"

The young Shi Hao was the first to break the silence.

"It's not much weaker than the power of the Heavy Pupils!"

Shi Yi responded very calmly.

Although the incident of Shi Jian attacking Wu Wang's Mansion had occurred, Shi Yi had never regretted the bone-digging incident.

"If the Heavy Pupils is so strong, then why aren't you confident, and why did you graft someone else's bone?"

Shi Hao heard that there was no regret in his words, so he retorted sharply.

"Whether it's strong or weak, why don't you try it yourself?" Shi Yi responded with great confidence.

"I will go. I will personally go to Wu Wang's Mansion and defeat you in front of everyone!"

Shi Hao replied.

"My younger brother, your tone is too arrogant. One should always remember humility in life!"

Shi Yi's expression remained calm.

"You are still a child, unable to glimpse my strength!"

He regarded Shi Hao as a child and did not treat him as an equal. This was a verbal confrontation.

"One sentence: within the Realm I can reach, I am invincible!"

Shi Hao responded with great dominance and confidence.

He believed himself to be invincible within the Realm he could reach. Shi Yi, at the same Realm as him, was definitely not his opponent. Shi Hao was challenging the Heavy Pupils.

"Did you crown yourself with that? You are too conceited. Even a True God wouldn't dare to say they are invincible in heaven and earth!" Shi Yi responded coldly.

Although he said so, a figure flashed through his mind. That terrifying existence, Shi Jian!

Perhaps only he was worthy of such words.

"After a battle with me, you will know whether I am invincible!"

Shi Hao responded with burning eyes.

The two young Supremes stood opposite each other in the Void Realm, and a terrifying aura permeated between them.

Shi Yi was full of heroic spirit; though young, his physique was slender and strong, and his eyes seemed to contain the sun, moon, and stars. The power of the Heavy Pupils was evident.

Shi Hao was relatively more immature, like a young child, but at this moment, a terrifying aura emanated from him. Everyone knew that this child, who resembled a toddler, had risen from ruin. Possessing an incredibly terrifying strength.

Their gazes met in the Void Realm, colliding like a rain of swords, erupting into brilliant light.

Especially Shi Yi. As his Heavy Pupils opened and closed, streaks of runes flickered, seemingly rewriting the Law of heaven and earth, with the destruction of the sun and moon and the rebirth of stars within them.

Everyone watched this scene in shock. Could it be that they were going to start a war here?

"Your strength has not yet reached its Peak. I will wait for you to reach your Peak and come find me!"

Shi Yi responded calmly.

The two gazed at each other again, then both disappeared from the Virtual God Realm. Countless people were shaken after seeing them disappear. They began to anticipate the subsequent battle in the Divine Capital.

The last battle in the Divine Capital was Shi Jian against Martial King, but this time it was a battle between two young Supremes. No one knew what the final outcome would be.

Shi Hao returned to Shi Village, a certain determination flickering in his eyes.

"Grandpa Village Chief, I want to leave Shi Village!"

Shi Hao sought out the old village chief and then stated his intention.

The old village chief, Shi Yunfeng, trembled at the words. He raised his head: "Child, you are so young, and your cultivation has not yet reached the level to roam the Great Wilderness. Where are you going?"

After a year, he heard similar words again.

"I want to go to the ancient kingdom, to reclaim what is rightfully mine…"

Shi Hao's gaze was extremely resolute.

The old village chief sighed upon hearing this. He had already learned of Shi Hao's background. He had no reason to stop Shi Hao. It was just that Shi Hao was too young.

The old village chief truly couldn't bear for such a small child to go out and fight.

"Child, this journey might be very dangerous!"

The old village chief spoke with great concern.

"I'm not afraid. I have already cultivated five Cave Heavens. I will head towards the frontier, fight various primordial Vicious Beasts, verify what I have learned, and grow rapidly…"

"I will fight my way to Wu Wang's Mansion!"

Shi Hao said.

His gaze was very firm. After he Broke Through the Cave Heaven Realm, his cultivation had completely stabilized. But this was not enough.

He needed real combat to verify what he had learned. He wanted to emulate Shi Jian, fighting his way out from Shi Village.

Sensing the determination in Shi Hao's eyes, the old village chief knew he couldn't stop Shi Hao, so he could only sigh again: "You've never traveled far. How can I be at ease?"

"This is a very important tempering. I must go!"

Shi Hao thought of what the Shi Clan bore. That was something even heavier than his bone-digging.

If he couldn't even overcome this immediate hurdle, what right did he have to stand alongside Shi Jian and Liu Shen?

The old village chief fell silent upon hearing this and said nothing more.

In the early morning, the mountain forest was hazy. A ray of red light appeared from the mountaintop, and the sun broke free, casting warm light.

The people of Shi Village had already risen, and a group gathered at the village entrance to see Shi Hao off.

"Little Brat, are you really leaving?"

A group of children surrounded him.

"Yes!" Shi Hao nodded firmly. Once he made a decision, he wouldn't easily change it.

"Three hundred thousand li, why are you going to such a distant place?"

The other children widened their eyes; this terrifying astronomical figure made them dizzy.

"I must go…"

Shi Hao firmly bid farewell to his fellow villagers, then began his journey.

"Ancient kingdom, here I come!"

Shi Hao transformed into a silver light, rushing towards the endless mountains, passing through mountain ranges and venturing far away.

In a place he couldn't see, a small red fat bird quietly followed behind him.

Shi Hao walked out of Shi Village. The mountains along the way were lush and green, with ancient trees reaching to the sky, and various birds and fierce beasts appearing.

Shi Hao walked into mid-air, and suddenly, a sound came from the mountains behind, like the cracking of the earth's crust, and giant rocks moving. A fierce aura surged up.

A giant beast walked through the mountain forest; with one step of its huge claws, mist was like a sea, and dust surged into the sky.

"Spiritual Realm Peak…"

Shi Hao instantly saw the strength of this terrifying Vicious Beast, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.

"Little Vine, don't interfere, let me fight it…"

Shi Hao said without hesitation. Indeed, there were enough fierce beasts in this Great Wilderness. He had only traveled a few thousand li and already encountered such a behemoth.

A Vicious Beast at the Peak of the Spiritual Realm… This was rare in Shi Village.

The Supreme Vine nodded, then disappeared into his body.

That Vicious Beast also discovered him. A wave surged, falling among the rocks, dissolving countless rocks and plants, and overwhelming runes covered the area like a net! That Vicious Beast launched an attack on him.

Shi Hao was excited upon seeing this, and a Sword Qi flickered at his fingertip. In an instant, Sword Qi raged.

The Sword Qi and the runes of the strange beast collided in the Void Realm. The entire mountain area split apart, and smoke and dust rolled!

Shi Hao clearly saw the appearance of this Vicious Beast: a huge five-colored worm, not a python, but as thick as a bucket. It twisted its enormous body, instantly leveling a section of the forest.

The wave-like substance just now was the liquid it spat out.

"Kunpeng Precious Technique…"

After seeing this Vicious Beast, Shi Hao used another precious technique. A cloud seemed to fall from the sky, and an incredibly huge Kunpeng appeared in the clouds.

This Kunpeng was lifelike, as if it truly existed. This was the Kunpeng Precious Technique!

The Kunpeng swooped down from above the clouds. The large worm, seeing this, panicked and quickly raised its head, spewing out radiant light and runes to resist.

The Kunpeng blotted out the sky, opening its mouth and spitting out a beam of light like a galaxy, leveling the entire forest, and rocks flew through the air!

Several wounds appeared on the large worm's body.

"Grass Character Sword Art…"

Shi Hao once again activated that terrifying Sword Art, and streaks of Sword Qi scattered!

Shi Hao intended to use this large worm at the Peak of the Spiritual Realm to verify what he had learned.

Because of Shi Jian, Shi Hao now possessed top-tier precious techniques and Cultivation Techniques. However, due to time constraints, his comprehension of these precious techniques was not yet perfected.

Now, this bloody journey through the Great Wilderness was an opportunity for him to temper himself. There were dangers everywhere in the Great Wilderness, and terrifying creatures were everywhere.

Some creatures that were majestic one moment would become food for other creatures the next. This was a world where the strong preyed on the weak; everything was bloody. There was no reason to be found.

Shi Hao had to traverse three hundred thousand li through such a wild land, and there would be endless difficulties and obstacles along the way. He could lose his life at any moment.

This was a dangerous path, but also the most suitable path for self-tempering.

Although that large worm had the cultivation of the Spiritual Realm Peak, it was merely a Vicious Beast, without much spiritual intelligence or Legacy.

After Shi Hao used various Divine Abilities, he finally slew it. Afterward, he fought many more bloody battles, encountered numerous crises, and killed many fierce beasts.

All the enemies he encountered were existences at the Spiritual Realm. In just seven or eight days, he was in rags, his whole body stained with blood, and he could only change into stripped animal hides to cover himself.

A four or five-year-old child, in such a cruel Great Wilderness, had carved out a bloody path. Perhaps no one would believe it if it were told.

During this process, Shi Hao's will also continuously strengthened. The Great Wilderness path was truly too dangerous. He didn't even have time to wash off the blood on his body. He could only rush all the way.

He even suffered a serious injury once. As he was looking for water, a Dragon rushed out of a cold pond, runes flickering, suppressing all directions.

If it weren't for the protection of the Supreme Vine, Shi Hao would probably have been strangled on the spot. That Dragon had the strength of the Inscription Realm.

Even Shi Hao plus the Supreme Vine could not match it. Shi Hao found an opportunity and barely managed to escape.

He walked and ate his way through the Great Wilderness, and after more than a month, he finally emerged from the Great Wilderness. There were great dangers between life and death.

After countless battles and eating countless Vicious Beasts, Shi Hao's cultivation successfully reached the ninth layer of the Cave Heaven Realm.

His whole body glowed, and one Cave Heaven after another stood above his head. The Cave Heavens devoured the essence of heaven and earth, then infused cultivation into his body.

"Cave Heaven Ninth Realm…"

Shi Hao, like a wild man, walked out of the Great Wilderness, feeling the power of his own strength, and his eyes sparkled. Indeed, combat was the best nourishment for strength.

In just over a month, his strength had increased by more than tenfold. His cultivation had risen from five great Cave Heavens to nine great Cave Heavens.

His comprehension of precious techniques was also vastly different from before. Kunpeng Method, Grass Character Sword Art, and some other precious techniques had been used by him with great skill.

Combat was the best teacher for cultivation.

After leaving the Great Wilderness, Shi Hao purposefully headed towards a certain place. That place also had an ancestral land of the Shi Clan.

However, this ancestral land was already in ruins. Around it were some settlements formed to support this dilapidated ancestral land. It was not prosperous here. It was full of Death Qi.

Only those with prominent status in the Shi Clan who had committed grave mistakes would be exiled here.

Shi Hao arrived at a dilapidated manor. There were some servants inside the manor, but the place was unusually desolate.

In the old manor, a thin child sat on the stone steps, coughing strenuously. Shi Hao saw this person. This was another him. To be precise, it was his substitute.

And next to this person was a very old man. The old man was full of Death Qi, his eyes very dim, without any luster.

"Great-Grandpa!"

The child held the old man's hand tightly.

Upon seeing this scene, Shi Hao pushed the door open without hesitation and walked over.

"Great-Grandpa!"

His voice was somewhat choked.

"You?"

The old man, not yet at the end of his life, suddenly saw an unfamiliar child call him that, and confusion flashed in his eyes.

"It's me, I'm that child from back then… I'm back!"

Shi Hao had seen his own memories and knew what had happened back then. These old people exiled here had been very kind to his family.

The child next to him was the one they had arranged to replace him.

Upon hearing this, the old man suddenly opened his eyes: "You… are you really him?"

"It's me, I'm back!"

Shi Hao held his hand.

"Your injury…" The old man spoke with some emotion.

"My injury is healed, and now I have Broke Through to the Cave Heaven Realm…"

"This time I'm back, I'm going to Wu Wang's Mansion to reclaim everything that is mine!"

Shi Hao said to the old man with great determination.

"Please, you and he… come with me to be a witness!"
