Perfect World

Chapter 568: Chapter 568: Who Dares to Fight?
 

Fire Sparrow Dancing in the Sky Wind, Sun Essence Fire accompanying by his side, dived down with an imposing and astonishing aggression. As Shi Hao lifted his hand, Taiyin Qi surged, a single finger aimed at the Fire Sparrow’s head, and between them, runes burst forth, hundreds and thousands of layers, illuminating the mortal realm.

The Archaic Golden Crow cried out, self-proclaimed as the Heavenly Emperor, its golden wings like a Heavenly Blade slashing down, and its three legs even more peerlessly sharp, grasping towards Shi Hao’s crown, ruthless and merciless, in the company of Sun Essence Fire.

With a tremor of his right hand, Shi Hao’s palm flickered with gold colored runes, shattering the Solar Essence Fire, while simultaneously striking the sky, the Peng spread grandly, clashing hard against the Golden Crow’s wing and claws, creating a sonorous sound.

True Phoenix descended, bringing with it the profound mysteries of life and death, born from nirvana, pouncing to kill Shi Hao, wings unfurled, stirring chaos in heaven and earth. Shi Hao let out a shout, expelling a breath of vital energy, with Yin and Yang Dual Qi rising together, Suppression Killing the True Phoenix.

…

The place boiled over, various Heavenly Fires descended.

Heavenly Fire comes into the world, Divine Birds attack, who can contend with such sharpness? The Huojin Clan, as one of the ancient ten great races, had integrated the mysteries of various clans, creating this unparalleled Suppression Divine Skill.

Of course, they had only acquired parts of the mysteries of various clans, otherwise, this precious symbol would truly defy the heavens as the first in the world!

Even so, once the Precious Vase Seal was unleashed, it could sweep through the current age, with only a few precious symbols capable of withstanding it. It combined the strengths of a hundred schools, forging a new path, seizing the fortune of the human realm.

It was Shi Hao who had obtained the complete and flawless Kun Peng treasure, a legacy of the great ferocity from ancient times, as it was the most ferocious Divine bird in heaven and earth, that could resist this world-suppressing wonder.

At this moment, the fierce battle raged, long cries of Divine Birds resounded between them, countless treasures shining, bursting towards all directions, a true peak showdown.

Ever since his battle with the Child with Dual Pupils, Shi Hao had seldom experienced the sort of struggle like today, exerting his full power, fighting desperately. He had already risen into the air, forming the Kun Peng Seal, slashing towards Teng Yi in the great sun.

Hum!

The next moment, the great sun shook, rumbling continuously, becoming even more intense. Inside Teng Yi, who was seated in meditation, suddenly shook, his body ablaze with boundless fire light.

He hadn’t anticipated Shi Hao to be so powerful, forcing his way up close, killing to his side. Originally intending to capture this fierce creature, to guard the mountain gate, now it seemed extremely difficult.

With a boom, the seal formed by his hands grew even larger, bright red and crystal clear, radiating with more brilliant flame light.

“Eh…” Shi Hao made his way close, but felt something was amiss. The Vermilion Bird, Archaic Golden Crow, True Phoenix, and others were all incomplete; it also meant that the captured mysteries of the various clans were incomplete, and now it was becoming evident.

This was a secret, not supposed to be revealed. Why would Teng Yi use the incomplete divine techniques of the various clans, showing them to the enemy?

The next moment, he understood. As the Fire Sparrow, Golden Crow, and True Phoenix collided with one another, the blaze instantly submerged heaven and earth, sending Shi Hao flying with a violent shock.

This was too ferocious, overwhelmingly domineering, all the Divine Birds perished together, releasing a force that made Shi Hao bleed from the corners of his mouth, suffering injuries.

At the same moment, the descendant Divine Birds vanished, and with it, the color of the fire light changed — first black, then deep purple, and finally like blood, becoming bewitchingly intimidating.

Without the Divine Birds, only the pure flames remained, like blood flowing, rapidly rushing towards Shi Hao, the aura alone enough to make his heart palpitate.

“Karmic Fire!”

Someone cried out, their complexion pale, greatly shocked.

Every heart harbors evil, Karmic Fire can burn all sins of the world, purifying all malice, turning every sin into nothingness.

It’s not to say Karmic Fire is necessarily stronger than the Sun Essence Fire or Golden Crow Fire, but its specificity is too strong. In a decisive battle, it ignites the evil in one’s heart, often leaving one utterly destroyed in both body and spirit, the most horrifying!

The brilliant red light, with an evil aura and a strange power fluctuation, instantly enveloped Shi Hao’s surroundings, the whole world turned a thorough red.

Everyone’s heart shook. People knew that the one named Haotian was done for, facing such flames there was only one option, to evade and not let them touch the body.

“Boom!”

Yet, the outcome was astonishing. That place boiled over, erupting with a terrifying aura, where one could see a figure like that of a Divine Demon moving its body.

Shi Hao stretched out his arms, one pointing to the sky and the other to the ground, each blossoming with Yin and Yang Dual Qi. These two types of Qi enveloped him, transforming into a Yin Yang Divine Garment he wore on his body.

This was like a Daoist robe of the great road, covering him, making him immune to all methods, such that the Karmic Fire could not approach, unable to ignite his form and spirit.

At the same time, Shi Hao soared into the sky, incredibly fast, forming the giant Peng bird seal and striking once more at that round golden sun, slashing at that unprecedented enemy!

With a buzzing tremble, the golden sun was shattered by him outright. He was swift as lightning, his right arm like a Heavenly Sword, sweeping across Teng Yi’s neck, while his left hand pointed at his forehead, aiming to execute his Primordial Spirit.

Teng Yi’s body was aflame. His hands shaped into a Precious Vase Seal and placed it above his head. It quickly descended, clashing against Shi Hao’s strongest blow.

“Boom!”

The vase shielded in front of him, forming a dazzling screen of light, blocking the opponent’s attack.

“Ding!”

A quivering sound came through, Shi Hao’s left finger tapped on the vase. A crisp sound entered people’s hearts, not ears, shaking many souls nearly out of their bodies.

The red luster of the vase dimmed, the Divine Fire restrained, shaking violently.

With another hand chop, Shi Hao forcefully opened the vase and almost pressed it onto Teng Yi’s neck; a flash of golden light disappeared, and blood sprayed!

Teng Yi’s body radiated with flames, his body moved laterally at high speed, enveloped by a fragmented great sun, retreating a hundred yards away.

The spectators watched with hearts racing, the battle had changed too fast, symbols dense between the two, precious symbols shining brightly, a series of clashes that dazzled the mind.

Who lost in the end? Everyone held their breath.

Shi Hao stood still, clothed in the Daoist robe formed by Yin and Yang Dual Qi, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, his body glowing as he healed his wounds.

On the other side, a golden sun reappeared. Teng Yi was no longer seated in meditation but stood there with fresh blood gushing from a terrible wound on his neck, which had nearly decapitated him.

He wiped it with a hand, his wound healed and began to glow, healing himself on the spot.

Both were injured; it was still too early to conclude who was weaker and who was stronger.

Shi Hao’s hair danced in the air, regaining calmness, like an Exiled Immortal. His body flowed with Yin and Yang Dual Qi. This time he took the initiative to attack, stepping closer to the enemy, wanting to strike him down, to defeat him.

“Boom!”

Electric splendor filled the sky, and behind and before him, no fewer than a hundred Suan Ni, each as colossal as a little mountain, crowded the void.

All the Suan Ni roared, swallowing and breathing out lightning. In fact, they themselves were transformed from lightning, and at this moment, they evolved into a sea of lightning, accompanied by stars, howling and engulfing everything forward.

“All methods fall back!” Teng Yi uttered lightly.

He stepped through the void, with a vine emerging behind him, seemingly condensed from golden rays, radiant and crystal clear. With a gentle shake, it formed immeasurable firelight, protecting his body.

And the great sun that enveloped him was formed from the Golden Fire emitted by this vine, isolating precious symbols, transcending above the world.

He relied on this vine, emitting firelight and creating a domain that held off endless lightning; symbols fiercely flashed between them, and then shattered. This was a great duel.

At the same moment, Teng Yi formed seals with both hands again, still creating a bottle, but this time it was not red but brilliant white gold, like Sword Qi spanning the sky, condensing into a bottle.

Fire Metal Vase Seal, naturally divided into fire and metal. Before, only one secret had been displayed; now the second true meaning emerged. Immediately, eternal Immortal Light appeared at this place, like an Immortal Sword being born into the world.

Clang clang!

Sword Qi reached the heavens, with the vase like an Immortal Sword, shooting out tens of thousands of strands of Sword Qi, slashing forward and submerging Shi Hao.

Shi Hao’s expression changed. With a flick of his hand, Yin and Yang Dual Qi rotated, transforming into a shield that blocked the vast sword glow. Meanwhile, he, using this shield, charged forward with extreme speed.

“Fire Metal Vase Immeasurable Slash!” Teng Yi bellowed, his whole body bursting with Divine Radiance as he held the bottle, aiming at Shi Hao. The sword qi that gushed out was like a sea, slashing forward.

Boom!

A rumble of thunder emanated from Shi Hao’s body, and his daoist robe lit up, protecting him. His hands came together as Yin and Yang Qi merged, and he shouted, “Yin Yang Reversal!”

At that moment, astonishing runes bloomed between his hands, which were the results of the fusion of Yin and Yang Qi, faintly accompanied by strands of primal chaos mist.

Everyone watching gasped. Primal chaos divided into Yin and Yang, now reversed, returning to the origin. Although it was just a glimpse, it was truly world-shocking.

One must know, the Divine Skills of other races are ultimately not their own. No matter how far they are cultivated, it’s very hard to exceed the original race.

However, at this moment, people had a realization, feeling that Shi Hao was not inferior to the true giant Peng bird, as if he had thoroughly understood the art and reached The Extreme Hundred Thousand Jin Boundary.

Ding!

From between Shi Hao’s hands, runes shot out, accompanied by strands of primal chaos mist, displaying a formidable might, all hitting that brilliant bottle, echoing with a deafening noise.

In that moment, both were sent flying; the Precious Vase shattered, while the eerie runes emitted by Shi Hao also gradually disappeared.

The two stood their grounds, both concentrating and staying on guard.

The crowd trembled in fear. Could it be that even Teng Yi couldn’t suppress this great fiend known as Haotian from the Lower Realm?

You must know, Teng Yi’s might shook the Hundred Thousand Sacred Mountains, unmatched in one state, rocking all directions. Since his advent, he’d never known defeat, nor had he ever been evenly matched.

And now, he encountered such a formidable enemy. It was truly a rare occurrence.

No matter the outcome of this battle, with the Great Fiend Haotian fighting Teng Yi to this extent, his name would surely shake the Spirit Realm, spreading throughout the Celestial Immortal State and echoing throughout the Hundred Thousand Sacred Mountains.

In a moment of silence, Shi Hao became fiercer, once again moving forward to attack, shouting, “Let me see how your Supreme Art measures up!”

What he desired most was to contend against the opponent’s Innate Divine Arts to see just how strong the so-called “Primordial” from the higher realms truly was and to test his True Bone.

In the Lower Realm, his art was nearly invincible, but against the Primordial in higher realms, could it also suppress, still emerging victorious?

Runes nurtured by the Supreme Bone were Shi Hao’s own methods, which could be pushed to their strongest pinnacle and were the most compatible with him.

“My time is up; I can’t use the Supreme Art,” Teng Yi sighed lightly, full of regret. “Today, I cannot take you back to my sect.”

A chill went through everyone; they instantly understood. He traversed the Spirit Realm using forbidden methods, thus able to rush from the Hundred Thousand Sacred Mountains to the land beneath at any time, but the cost was great, and there was a limited time for pinnacle duels.

Shi Hao was furious, saying, “What use are you?!”

His most anticipated Supreme Art duel unexpectedly ended without even starting. He had longed for this battle, wanting to test just how strong his True Bone truly was!

Upon hearing this, Teng Yi also became furious, opening his Dual Pupils for the first time, radiating impressive golden light. Who dared to speak to him in this manner?

Everyone was astonished. When Teng Yi opened his eyes, it meant he was about to unleash Supreme Art and exercise his Primordial divine might, but could he use it now?

Sure enough, his body gradually dimmed and could not exhibit his power.

“Useless, what do you come for?” Shi Hao said indignantly, and then declared, “Even so, your turn has come!”

Buzz!

His breastbone shone, mysterious runes bursting forth, striking Teng Yi in an instant.

Teng Yi was both shocked and furious. He had intended to withdraw gracefully and agree to battle another day. Unexpectedly, Shi Hao directly struck him.

In an instant, Teng Yi transformed into a vine, then violently burst apart, turning to ashes; sparkles of light rose, flying towards the Golden Gate.

The crowd was stunned. Teng Yi had indeed been “struck,” turning to ashes and dissipating. This great fiend was truly terrifying!

Everyone knew that the causal ties established were substantial. Teng Yi would have to come personally in the future, to fight a battle to the death with Shi Hao; the day when the Supreme Art duel would occur was bound to be a grand spectacle.

“What a let-down.” Shi Hao muttered, his formidable aura retracting. He looked exquisitely handsome, like the boy next door. His dissatisfaction left people speechless.

It was only at this moment that people realized they might have overlooked something—he was truly too young! He looked to be only about fifteen or sixteen, and when you tried to look closely, his face seemed to be covered by a fog, difficult to see through.

“Who dares to battle me?” Shi Hao raised his head, shouting loudly toward the direction of the Golden Gate, “Is there a Primordial, where is the Supreme, come and fight!”

His shout caused many to turn and run, because he was stepping forward, approaching everyone.

This battle today was destined to shake the Celestial Immortal State, spreading throughout the Hundred Thousand Sacred Mountains, with the Great Fiend Haotian stirring up towering waves!

“Who dares to battle?” Shi Hao called out again.

As the words fell, everyone fled, rushing towards the Golden Gate.

Apart from the Primordials and the celestial prodigies of their clans, who else would dare to step forward? And such characters were each in their own domains, seldom meeting.

“This Stone Man is silent; if I don’t attack, it seems not to move?” Shi Hao pondered, approaching the Golden Gate, it still showed no reaction.

He gritted his teeth, saying, “Here goes nothing, worse comes to worst I’ll just disintegrate once myself!”

He stepped forward, brushing past the Stone Man and entering the world on this side of the Golden Gate.

“Heaven help us, the great fiend has come, actually entering the Spirit Realm!”

“The great fiend known as Haotian has descended upon our realm!”

As soon as he crossed over, a group of people shouted in utter shock.
