Chapter 458: The Three Sects’ Defeat
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Shi Hao was like a dragon trapped in a well, finally finding an opportunity to break free. His aura surged, and after blasting away the three great experts, he made his way into the crowd.
Amidst terrifying rumbling sounds, he was like a human-shaped Kun Peng. Symbols flickered about, and his entire body was golden as he swept through the crowd. He used his most powerful strength.
With a thump, in just this instant of contact, over twenty people were sent flying. Their bodies were blasted apart and exploded in midair.
Everyone paled in shock. What kind of power was this? The cultivators of the three sects came from the outer regions, and none of them was weak. In the end, they encountered such a calamity.
The battle against Shi Hao was like a battle between a sheep and a lion. It was a completely one-sided situation. As soon as the two sides came into contact, terrifying consequences occurred.
“Sacrificial artifact!” An elder shouted. The brave teenager made him shiver inwardly.
In the void, a golden mace appeared. White mist surged and flowed with hazy radiance. Its might was terrifying. It was sparkling and brilliant. A yellow dragon appeared from within and pounced at Shi Hao.
Moreover, in this void, there was a wave of thunderclaps. Golden lightning surged like a tide, cracking as it descended. Resplendent golden light erupted.
On the other side, an alms bowl appeared. Purple mist pervaded the air. It was like a bottomless black hole that absorbed essence energy from all directions, erupting with intense fluctuations.
Shi Hao had seen these two sacred artifacts before. Previously, he had even exchanged blows with them. He had captured the wielder of these two weapons, but he didn’t restrain the weapons, and they both fled.
At this moment, the two sacred artifacts appeared again. A group of people jointly activated them, wishing to suppress Shi Hao.
Rumble!
Scarlet multicolored light overflowed into the heavens. Shi Hao didn’t hesitate at all. With a raise of his hand, a terrifying red light surged from his palm. A gourd rose, and sword radiance surged outward to resist the two holy artifacts.
The red gourd trembled, and with a thump, blood light flashed. Two corpses fell to the ground. They were the two captives that had been taken in previously.
Since he had already reached this stage, Shi Hao didn’t care too much. The three sects attacked the central imperial palace, so what was the point of keeping their disciples alive? He simply killed them.
“Kill!”
Another wave of fluctuation spread out. A large black umbrella appeared, still flowing with holy light and releasing incomparable power. It was another holy artifact.
The three sacred artifacts appeared at the same time. Under the urging of many experts, they attacked Shi Hao together. Finally, he felt an aura of death.
The scarlet gourd he summoned spun about, but it was blocked.
“Stop him! we’ll attack from the front and back. Kill him!” Someone shouted, buying time for the three great experts at the same time.
However, the situation only lasted for an instant. Everyone’s divine senses became empty, all of them greatly shaken, feeling like they were about to lose contact with that holy artifact.
At this moment, Shi Hao began to shine, fully utilizing his advantage. Imperial dragon energy surged, harmonizing with the entire imperial palace. Treasure palaces shone one after another, faintly releasing symbols.
“Are these palaces also magical artifacts?” Everyone had a bad premonition. Those three divine artifacts were shaking and were about to be cut off from everyone by those palaces.
“Break!”
At that moment, Shi Hao suddenly shouted, no longer resonating with the imperial palace. After slightly interfering with the holy artifact, he suddenly erupted with his own strength.
Under everyone’s shocked gazes, he had an extra pair of fists, also displaying the Kun Peng technique. A total of four arms formed imprints, erupting with power.
Boom!
The scarlet gourd opened up a path, stopping the holy artifact. Meanwhile, he himself broke through the barrier of light, making his way in front of everyone. It was simply a great disaster.
Shi Hao displayed his might. His four arms moved about, pushing forward. Four powerful cultivators immediately exploded, and many people behind them were even sent flying, exploding in the void.
It was just too powerful. He was like a human-shaped tyrannosaurus, crushing over, and nothing was able to stop him.
Without a doubt, that was the overlaying of precious techniques. He used the Kun Peng technique, and his attack power was incomparable. Together with the Zhuyan Clan’s divine ability, he now had an extra pair of arms, so his fighting strength increased greatly.
“Kill!”
Someone cried out loudly, unwilling to face disaster. They retaliated with everything they had. Floating light swirled about, and all types of symbols gushed out, creating an expanse of brilliant splendor.
However, Shi Hao was impervious to all attacks. A thick layer of misty light surrounded his body, making him mysterious and powerful. All of the symbols that attacked were obliterated.
He strode forward with the bearing of a dragon. With a raise of his hand, the Kun Peng spread its wings. Golden multicolored light surged, submerging everything in front of him.
Whoosh!
This time, more than forty experts died. Bloody mist rose, covering everyone. These people immediately melted away.
The faces of those who quickly retreated paled. That was so terrifying. It was simply too difficult to resist with human strength. If they were a step slower just now, they would have become the same.
The Su king was terrified. His and the other nobles’ faces were deathly pale, and their hearts were filled with fear. Even someone as powerful as them, who had experienced so many things, felt a chill run down their spine at this moment. They were indescribably afraid of this new king.
Such a teenager was only 15 years old, but he was already so astonishing. What kind of achievements would he have in the future?
Even with three experts, they couldn’t stop him. That was enough to demonstrate how powerful he was.
Boom!
When Shi Hao charged forward to start a massacre, Fairy Yue Chan, Qin Lun, and Five Meters finally attacked again, transforming into three streaks of divine lights that swooped down.
Shi Hao suddenly turned around. His change gave everyone a fright. His entire body shone, and two more heads appeared. The fluctuations he gave off were astonishing, and he also had more arms!
“Three heads and six arms! He has mastered Zhuyan’s great divine ability!” A group of people cried out in alarm.
Just now, it was one extra pair of arms, and he could use some special secret methods to achieve this, but now, he suddenly had three heads and six arms. That was beyond ordinary.
Right now, it was as if three Shi Hao had appeared, and the fluctuation overlapped, increasing divine force by a large amount. It was the Zhuyan Race’s most precious technique.
At that moment, Shi Hao suddenly rushed toward the three great experts, taking the initiative to carry out the most intense collision with them.
Boom!
All types of symbols sparkled, and divine light submerged this place as if endless great stars were falling. The world became unstable, and everything became indistinct.
The three great experts’ expressions changed, and all of them were blasted away. Things were different this time. Shi Hao became even stronger and collided with them at the same time but not at the extreme speed as before.
The most forceful collision caused the three of them to feel intense pain as they left the central battlefield again.
Shi Hao also suffered a violent impact, but with the imperial dragon energy and dense light mist protecting his body, it was difficult for him to suffer severe injuries. He was fine and could use the momentum to fly toward King Su.
In fact, the nobles had long moved. When they saw Shi Hao charging over, they were already prepared to escape.
Unfortunately, no matter how fast they were, they couldn’t be as powerful as the Kun Peng technique, which was the world’s fastest. A streak of golden light tore through the sky and caught up to the Su King. Shi Hao was cold and emotionless as he pointed out a finger.
The Su King cried out loudly, his blood-curdling. He did everything he could to take action, resisting the attack.
Crack!
The bronze shield in front of him exploded, and then two powerful magical artifacts cracked apart. Shi Hao’s finger pressed down on the space between his brows with unstoppable force.
Whoosh!
The Su King’s expression became rigid. Then, blood flowed out from the space between his brows, and he fell on his back. The instant he touched the ground, his entire body turned to ashes.
It was a powerful intimidation. Shi Hao had three heads and six arms. He activated all types of precious techniques, and it was as if he entered an uninhabited realm. Even a powerful king wouldn’t be able to stop him.
It made others suspect that he had stepped into the supreme expert realm.
“Seal the city gates and activate the great city protection formation!” Shi Hao ordered the War King and the others to retreat and lock down the capital. He was prepared to trap everyone.
The War King and the other nobles were all stupefied. How old was the new king? He was already so terrifying. Was he going to sweep through the cultivators of the three sects all by himself?
They were shocked. From the orders Shi Hao gave them, they could tell that the new emperor didn’t fear these people. He wanted to close the door and trap the enemies inside with the city protection formation.
The War King was extremely excited. He was the unyielding type, and he was incomparably fond of fighting. Such a scene made his blood boil. The new emperor was so powerful. He could unleash a great slaughter here, which resonated with the War King.
Trembling with excitement, the War King turned and walked away.
The other nobles who didn’t act rashly were also shocked. After receiving the order, they didn’t say anything and rushed out of the imperial palace.
Shi Hao went on a killing spree. He first targeted a few rebel kings. After the Su king died, a few nobles also died one after another. Before these people died, they all experienced great fear. There was pleading in their eyes, but Shi Hao didn’t show any mercy. He took action, killing them all.
Corpses covered the ground beneath his feet, and even more people turned into bloody mists. The three sects’ cultivators backed up, all of them incomparably terrified.
Fairy Yue Chan, Qin Lun, and Five Meters charged over again. This time, it was completely different. The three of them were like three small suns, dazzling and resplendent. Divine flames burned around their bodies.
Shi Hao remained indifferent. He knew that the three of them only erupted at this moment, displaying their greatest strength, but it was already too late. It was difficult to turn the situation around.
That was indeed the case. Previously, even though the three of them had joined forces, they were still intimidated by each other. In the beginning, they were all on guard and held back, not displaying their strongest divine abilities.
At this moment, the Heaven Mending Technique soared into the sky. Brilliant light shone, and a jade sword was held within it as it hacked down on Shi Hao’s neck.
It was extremely terrifying. Once the Heaven Mending Technique was used, it could remedy the caster.
On the other side, Qin Lun’s five elements divine ability was displayed, overturning heaven and earth, almost producing primal chaos.
Five Meters’ entire body was golden. He immediately grew eighteen arms and displayed a divine ability, suppressing Shi Hao with all his might.
Unfortunately, it was still difficult to suppress Shi Hao!
At this moment, he was brave and invincible. With the Kun Peng Technique in his left hand and a blade of grass in his right, plus his boundless sword energy and three heads and six arms, he was simply invincible.
After this great collision, Qin Lun coughed out blood.
Shi Hao’s imperial aura erupted. Dozens of heavenly dragons coiled around his body and cried out, becoming even more powerful. The dense multicolored mist that enveloped him became denser and denser, obliterating all types of attacks.
He knew that even if the three of them were at a disadvantage, it would be difficult to kill them for the time being. It was better to kill the people they brought first.
Inside the imperial palace, corpses piled up one after another. The cultivators of the three sects were killed until they collapsed, all of them fleeing for their lives. However, the new emperor was too powerful and quickly got to them.
Meanwhile, the entire imperial palace was shining, producing a type of connection with Shi Hao as if it had a life of its own.
“How could this be?!” An elder of the Heaven Mending Sect cried out in grief.
It was to the extent that some people cried loudly. This battle was too miserable. The three sects’ cultivators left behind hundreds of corpses and were in a constant state of panic. It was a total defeat.
The three experts’ expressions were ugly. They could face Shi Hao head-on, but it was difficult for them to stop all of this. Shi Hao had obtained the imperial path and become too powerful to be suppressed.
The three of them sighed. It was already over for them. They were doomed this time. If this continued, all the people they brought with them would be killed.
They were quite decisive, quickly withdrawing from the imperial palace that was about to recover from the formation patterns. They protected their own people as they fled into the distance.
This battle shocked the capital. It was unknown how many people were watching and how many great powers were waiting. In the end, this was what they got.
The three sects suffered a great defeat. That was simply unimaginable!
Shi Hao was just one person, yet he was able to overwhelm all the heroes.
Meanwhile, this battle wasn’t over yet. After the three sects separated, Shi Hao first chased after the Western Sect, then chased after the Immortal Mountain, killing almost all of them until they were defeated. Only the main figures escaped.
In the end, he chased after the Heaven Mending Sect and attacked Fairy Yue Chan and the others, wanting to capture and kill them.
