Urban God-level Youth

For five consecutive days, Qin Hao and the crow hadn't encountered any beast attacks, allowing their tense nerves to relax slightly.

"Just how vast is this Yellow Desert? We've been flying for nearly a million miles," the demonic crow spoke.

Qin Hao: "This desert is at least tens of millions of miles, we still have to fly for months to get out."

Ever since Qin Hao knew this was the Endless Wilderness, he checked the map; the Black Desert lays deep in the Endless Wilderness, spanning thousands of miles. Luckily, Qin Hao wasn't in the central area of the Black Desert, or he truly wouldn't have survived.

The crow was taken aback by his words: "Tens of millions of miles? Damn!"

Just then, the distant cry of a fierce bird echoed, causing the crow to shiver, almost tossing Qin Hao off.

Qin Hao, a bit annoyed, said: "Look at your courage."

The demonic crow explained: "Young Master, that should be a vulture, and from the sound, it seems like a Mahayana Realm beast."

As soon as the crow finished speaking, a gigantic vulture beast soared from the distant sky, heading straight for Qin Hao and the crow below him.

The crow trembled in fear, and Qin Hao slapped it on the head: "Useless, fly quickly, that's a Mahayana Realm beast."

Only then did the crow react, desperately flapping its wings to fly forward.

Standing on its back, Qin Hao summoned the War God spear, sending streaks of spear light enveloping the vulture behind them.

The vulture screeched angrily upon seeing Qin Hao fight back, its sharp claws, akin to a Divine Weapon, shattered the spear lights Qin Hao had unleashed.

A Mahayana Realm beast was two major realms higher than him. Qin Hao activated the War God Skill, his power surging to the Peak of Extreme Realm Late Stage.

This time, Qin Hao employed the Ten Styles of Bloody Battle, the spear lights' power greatly increased, causing the void to tremble slightly, significantly slowing the vulture's speed. But it continued to pursue relentlessly.

Three hours later, the crow said: "Young Master, my Spiritual Energy is nearly depleted."

Qin Hao casually tossed a few Top-quality Rejuvenation Elixirs into its mouth: "Less talk, fly for me, I'm going to exhaust it."

The Top-quality Rejuvenation Elixirs quickly replenished the crow's Spiritual Energy to full, allowing it to keep flying as Qin Hao fended off the vulture.

Two hours later, the vulture's speed noticeably slowed. Its large consumption was evident; chasing the crow expended a lot of Spiritual Energy, and resisting Qin Hao's attacks consumed even more.

The vulture screeched in frustration, abandoning the chase. Continuing would endanger its own life.

Seeing the vulture retreat, both Qin Hao and the crow sighed in relief.

Thus, they continued flying towards the edge of the Endless Wilderness. Days went by, and in the blink of an eye, two months had passed. Qin Hao and the crow were still in the Yellow Desert, but according to Qin Hao's estimation, they were very close to exiting.

The crow now appeared a bit battered. After all, enduring the elements for over two months without rest was a great test of endurance.

Qin Hao sat cross-legged on its back, using the Immortal Burying Skill. His strength had also improved to the Peak of Extreme Realm Late Stage.

"Young Master, look ahead! What's that?" The crow suddenly spoke.

Hearing its voice, Qin Hao opened his eyes and looked ahead. About a hundred miles away in the desert stood a small green tree with two Spirit Fruits hanging from it.

The Spirit Fruits were golden-sand colored, the size of a baby's fist, radiating a brilliant glow.

Qin Hao was slightly surprised: "This is actually a Golden Sand Spirit Fruit."

The crow flew towards it and softly asked: "Young Master, what is a Golden Sand Spirit Fruit? What's its use?"

"The Golden Sand Spirit Fruit is a specialty of this Yellow Desert. It's said to bear fruit only once every few hundred years, containing immense and pure Spiritual Energy. At our current realm, consuming it could help us break through the current stage," Qin Hao replied calmly.

The crow's eyes lit up upon hearing this; breaking through to the next stage? This was indeed valuable.

Usually, to break from Early-stage Extreme Realm to the Middle Stage of Extreme Realm might take thousands of years, but with such a precious fruit here, how could it not be excited?

Qin Hao, however, showed no excitement, as his merit store had plenty of such fruits.

They quickly arrived beside the Golden Sand Spirit Tree. The Spirit Fruit was ripe, but in this desolate place, no one knew of its existence.

Qin Hao looked at it and said: "It should ripen in a couple of days; let's wait here for it." He then set up a restriction to prevent the Spiritual Energy released upon the fruit's ripening from attracting others or beasts.

The man and beast waited beside it for the Golden Sand Spirit Fruit to ripen.

Bit by bit, time passed. On the afternoon of the second day, the Golden Sand Spirit Fruit bloomed with light, its rich and pure Spiritual Energy seeping out. However, with Qin Hao's restriction, it did not escape.

The crow eagerly watched the ripening fruit, nearly popping its eyes out, while Qin Hao reached out, plucking it directly, keeping one and giving the other to the crow: "Considering you've been quite obedient these days, this fruit is yours."

"Thank you, Young Master! Thank you, Young Master!" the demonic crow was incredibly excited, hurriedly taking the fruit and storing it inside itself.

At that moment, an angry shout echoed: "Put down the Golden Sand Spirit Fruit."

The crow was startled, looking towards the source of the voice, while Qin Hao's face brightened. These were cultivators, which meant they were not far from exiting the Endless Wilderness.

Soon, a group of five approached Qin Hao and the crow — four men and one woman, all middle-aged, each possessing strength between Early-stage and Middle Stage of Extreme Realm.

"Hand over the Golden Sand Spirit Fruit, and we'll spare your lives," the leading middle-aged man demanded.

Qin Hao snorted coldly: "Just you five trash dare to take the Golden Sand Spirit Fruit? Leave now while you still can."

"Such audacity, who are you? This Golden Sand Spirit Fruit belongs to our Po Yuan Sect," the middle-aged leader said.

The demonic crow retorted: "What bullshit! We've been guarding this Golden Sand Spirit Fruit for several days for it to mature. If it belonged to your Po Yuan Sect, wouldn't you have someone guarding it?"

This left the middle-aged man speechless. This Golden Sand Spirit Fruit indeed wasn't Po Yuan Sect's. They came upon a treasure map indicating the presence of a Golden Sand Spirit Fruit in the barren desert. He arrived according to the instructions, but still, he was one step late.

Suddenly, these five from Po Yuan Sect attacked. Two targeted the demonic crow, while the remaining three went after Qin Hao.

The corners of Qin Hao's mouth lifted, revealing a sharp smile as he wielded the War God spear.

"Whoosh"

His figure vanished from the spot, reappearing almost instantaneously behind the three.

"Puff, puff, puff"

The three people's heads fell to the ground — one cultivator in the Middle Stage and two in the Early-stage of Extreme Realm, instantly slain.

The other two, not yet engaged with the demonic crow, were utterly terrified, beyond shock.

"Screech"

Suddenly, the demonic crow attacked, its sharp claw burst one person's head directly, leaving only the female cultivator.
