Chapter 1916 - Heaven’s Core Imprint
Unfortunately, he was just a bit off. That black giant wolf turned around, entering the pa.s.sage, fleeing back to the other side.
s.h.i.+ Hao stared at it as it escaped. He roared out, really wis.h.i.+ng he could slaughter his way over, get to the bottom of this.
However, in the end, he endured it, restraining that urge. He silently stood in front of the pa.s.sage, his entire body releasing a wave of ice-cold killing intent!
“Kill!”
s.h.i.+ Hao turned around, his eyes immediately widening, body releasing heaven overflowing killing intent. He rushed towards the undying being who was currently fighting against the ghost immortals.
“All of you can just go to h.e.l.l!” s.h.i.+ Hao unleashed a great slaughter. In this battle, ninety percent of the intruders were all killed by him alone, the leading undying beings torn apart by him bare-handedly.
“Speak, what kind of background does that giant wolf have?” His words were overcast, forcing the undying being into submission. He seized his primordial spirit, forcing it to the brink of collapse.
“I don’t know!” That undying being responded.
Pu!
With a turn of his hand, s.h.i.+ Hao killed him. His primordial spirit exploded, turning into a rain of light.
Similarly, the other individual also entered his hands, in the end losing his life.
Within a hundred years, the Emperor b.u.t.terfly, Divine Striking Stone, Lightning Spirits, s.h.i.+ Zhong and Zhu Lin achieved the dao one after another, shaking all under the heavens. This was too terrifying! These people finally achieved perfection after five thousand years, entering that level.
Of course, this had something to do with the Seven Colored Immortal Gold Man, heroic spirits and others’ pointers, guiding them, making things a bit smoother for them.
The crucial point was that they guarded the path of two realms, continuously fought great battles, already used to the undying beings’ methods, gaining too many insights between life and death.
That was why they were able to achieve the dao one after the next.
This was the cruelest age, and also the age where the strong most easily emerged.
It was the cruelest because the environment was terrible, the reason why the powerful emerged was because they were bathed in blood and flames, always fighting great battles, testing their wills. If they didn’t die after a hundred battles, they would definitely have benefits, able to rush into the heavens during the Cultivationless Age.
Joyous occasions happened continuously during these hundred years, Imperial Court becoming more and more prosperous.
Only Cao Yusheng had a bitter face. “When will I become a supreme being? Could it be that I really have to be buried, only after a great era pa.s.ses can I achieve immortality?”
s.h.i.+ Hao became speechless. Fatty Cao’s natural talents really weren’t bad, but compared to Mu Qing and the others, he was still a bit lacking.
“My master has said that I need the baptism of one era after another, that I need to be buried in a burial cave, transform myself, and only then can I produce an unmatched immortal body.” Cao Yusheng said with a sigh, his deadly earnest manner leaving others speechless.
He knew that even though his apt.i.tude was great, compared to the highest level bloodlines, he was still a bit off.
As the years pa.s.sed, in everyone’s eyes, s.h.i.+ Hao was already five thousand six hundred years old.
In this year, s.h.i.+ Hao took action, refining his own true blood, extending another life for some of those close to him.
His parents couldn’t hold on any longer, already old and gray-haired. s.h.i.+ Hao secretly cleansed their bodies with his true blood, granting them exuberant life essence energy once more.
Hairy Ball, the Zhuyan was also already old, in the end, he still shared no karma with the supreme being level in this life.
Apart from this, the Green Scaled Eagle bloodline, even though they cultivated the great Kun Peng method, they similarly grew old, already reaching their limit.
The big red bird cultivated the True Phoenix Precious Technique, but it still couldn’t undergo rebirth, unable to live a second life, now like Second Baldly, all of his feathers almost fallen off.
The big black tortoise couldn’t move, also entering its later years. It muttered weakly, “Which b.a.s.t.a.r.d said that turtles lived for eighty thousand years? My *ss, this tortoise grandpa is going to vomit all over your stupid face! Do you know how much time cultivation takes? This tortoise grandpa almost went crazy twice!”
When s.h.i.+ Hao began to refine his own true blood, the old tortoise widened its eyes, waiting anxiously, as pitiful as pitiful could be, scared that s.h.i.+ Hao wouldn’t give it any.
In the end, its wishes were fulfilled, the flame of exuberant life within it ignited again. It revived!
“You really are fine? Are you not scared of your vitality being damaged?” After the big black tortoise revived, it carried a doubtful look.
“It’s fine!” s.h.i.+ Hao said.
“Then just leave behind another bowl of true blood, it’s too delicious!” This vulgar big black tortoise moved its fists, continuing to ask s.h.i.+ Hao. In the end, it was directly sent flying by a kick.
No matter how strong s.h.i.+ Hao was, he couldn’t endlessly squander his own true blood. He could only save a small portion of people, if he continued to extract his own true blood, there would be great issues for himself!
He didn’t hesitate to pay the price, saving the Green Scaled Eagle, big red bird, unicorn beast Little White, even the big black turtle getting a share of the limelight. All of this was because he still carried some inward softness, reminiscing the past, finding it hard to forget past emotions.
…
At this point, no matter how deep his dao skills were, one shouldn’t easily exhaust their own true blood essence since there might be great dao hindrances in the future.
After more than a thousand years, Imperial Court experienced many great battles. Those who didn’t fall after endless battles became stronger and stronger.
Through endless tempering, with the guidance of the Seven Colored Immortal Gold Man, ghost immortals, heroic spirits and other immortal dao figures, large amounts of powerful individuals emerged from within Imperial Court’s later generations, the sect becoming more and more glorious.
Even though deaths were unavoidable with great battles, some geniuses falling, dying early, in the end, there were still generations after generations of outstanding individuals who survived, becoming stronger!
At this time, s.h.i.+ Hao, in everyone’s eyes, already reached seven thousand years of age. However, he was still vigorous, full of life force, maintaining his youthful appearance.
In reality, when his experiences during the Age of Emperor Collapse were included, he already crossed five million years of age. However, the traces of time truly couldn’t leave much on his body.
“Could I be considered to have achieved immortality in the world of mortals?” s.h.i.+ Hao thought to himself. He felt like he was still a hair off!
However, he could defy reason and kill immortals!
This was precisely a Pride of Heaven that grew up in the Cultivationless Age, the dao results produced in the cruelest age unimaginable, extremely glorious!
Once one made achievements, they would surpa.s.s the creatures of other environments.
Moreover, during these thousands of years, the world continuously changed. Even though the spiritual essence was dried up, the great dao high and distant, the natural laws were actually becoming whole, evolving, recovering.
However, this place was different from Immortal Domain and other places. After the great dao was gradually restored, the cultivation path would still be difficult, to the extent where all cultivators would be further suppressed.
Now, it was easy for one to return to the dao, a.s.similate into the natural laws!
In the past, the world was beaten into ruin, the natural laws having deficiencies, the world half destroyed. Meanwhile now, it continuously devoured itself in reverse, absorbing all of the power that drifted away in the world, even including the essence energy of cultivators.
All those whose dao skills weren’t condensed would easily be beaten down from the clouds.
When one’s dao heart was slightly unstable, they would easily experience ‘dao scattering’, sinking into a state with no hope of reprieve.
This world was recovering, the great dao made whole. However, it didn’t nurture creatures, instead further suppressing them, this was where the Cultivationless Age was terrifying.
The so-called Cultivationless Age, was precisely following the decline of prosperity, the world would instead seize the essence energy of all life, suppress all creatures, using this to compensate itself!
During this period, the Heavenly Horned Ant, Mu Qing and the others discovered a serious issue. When they became supreme beings, it was difficult for them to advance towards the peak of extreme dao.
Moreover, this situation was becoming worse and worse. After more than a thousand years pa.s.sed, it was still difficult for their cultivation to advance even an inch!
Only s.h.i.+ Hao was rather different, his cultivation path extremely smooth, to the extent where he could sense the world’s energies and fate supporting his body, converging towards him.
He even had a feeling as if he was becoming one with this world, becoming the core imprint of heaven and earth. At that time, he could control the world, crush all living things.
In the end, after the restricted region lord, s.h.i.+ Hao and the others discussed this, they reached a conclusion. The Cultivationless Age might have a great transformation happening.
At this time, whoever stood at the extreme peak of the great dao, their great dao imprints would harmonize with heaven and earth, their dao root would become one with the core of heaven, suppressing the magic and dao of others.
The Heavenly Horned Ant, Mu Qing, and others became stupefied when they heard this. This meant that s.h.i.+ Hao alone stood at the absolute peak, suppressing them, preventing them from rising to the highest realm?
“Will the creatures of the restricted regions fight for this type of dao fruit?” s.h.i.+ Hao asked.
“The restricted region lords won’t bother with this type of thing, they don’t need it. If a true immortal appears, would they be able to defeat you?” The crystal skull’s eye sockets were deep as it said this.
At this point, everyone sensed the severity of the issue.
According to their derivations, only one individual could be at the very peak in a world, able to suppress all clans in a region. This individual would be granted the Heaven’s Core Imprint, harmonizing with it.
If this was the past, the world being deficient was one thing. However, now that the great dao was gradually becoming whole, this type of thing was inevitable.
The Heavenly Horned Ant, Mu Qing, s.h.i.+ Zhong and the others all had bitter smiles on their faces. Wasn’t this basically the same as having no chance to reach the peak of dao? In an age where s.h.i.+ Hao existed, how could others possibly rise up, climb to that type of level?
“It’s fine, I do not need this Heaven’s Core Imprint. When I personally examine it for a bit, I’ll immediately abandon it, give you all a chance to rise to the peak of extreme dao!” s.h.i.+ Hao said.
He even felt like he didn’t need it, that he should just directly give it up, because the path he walked was the body as a seed path, he didn’t need these things.
However, the restricted region lord had him walk this path, saying that this process of compensating for the faults of the world’s great dao was extremely precious, this type of experience too rare.
This was especially the case when the Heaven’s Core Imprint formed for the first time after the world was restored, even more so possessing an entirely different meaning.
“In one world, only one person can suppress all dao, unmatched in the current age, the sole sovereign. Isn’t this precisely the future cruel path?!” The restricted region lord said with a sigh.
Only in the Cultivationless Age would this type of terrifying scene be created!
...
Immortal Domain, within a king city.
This was a territory that belonged to an immortal king, a ma.s.sive king city. It was located in the cosmos, the stars of the heavens around it appearing incredibly insignificant.
It seemed like the center of the universe, bearing the glory of endless ages, surrounded by the endless dao of the heavens. Natural laws were everywhere, all of them like stellar waterfalls as they gathered towards this giant city.
This was precisely Aocheng King City!
The immortal king of a generation, Aocheng, resided here.
In the city, it was incredibly prosperous, ma.s.sive beyond compare, not inferior to Pan King City in any regards.
In the restricted region at the very center was Aocheng Immortal King’s dwelling. Only the clan’s direct line of descent could enter.
Right now, in a primal chaos filled ancient cave, a blurry figure sat on a praying mat. It was extremely hazy, just one individual, but the great dao was suppressed. All of the laws were below the praying mat, making him seem aloof and remote!
With a shua sound, he opened his eyes, two streaks of cold light rus.h.i.+ng out from his eyes, as if they came from millions and millions of years ago, extremely horrifying.
If the other experts were here, their bodies would definitely explode.
“Where is that boy?” He spoke, his voice long and drawn-out, as if it came from endless ages ago.
“Ancient ancestor!”
A pair of dao children, one male, one female, walked in, bowing with great respect. They didn’t look that old, but the great changes within their eyes revealed the truth.
These were two individuals who lived for who knew how many great eras, long achieved true immortal cultivation.
