Chapter 2000
Chapter 2000 - Heavenly Emperor Huang
They fought for thirty thousand years. Even half immortal emperors eventually ran out of energy. They fought continuously without resting for a moment, this was a tremendous type of exhaustion.
From the distance, the four experts were all like skeletons, their flesh shriveled, even their bones exposed outwards. Their skin was dim, lacking radiance, essence blood completely used up!
After fighting to this extent, even though their bodies suffered seriously, there was still no blood that came out.
They could absorb the essence of heaven and earth, but the essence blood they could create couldn’t keep up with their consumption. Their life force was weak, soul force flickering about, showing signs of complete exhaustion.
Half immortal emperors were hard to immediately kill, but when creatures at the same level slowly grinded away at each other, they would still die in the end.
However, even though they reached this step, the divine abilities they released were still the most powerful ones. Otherwise, if they couldn’t withstand the other party’s attacks, they might suffer life threatening danger.
This was also precisely the reason why their essence blood would be completely exhausted, their souls growing dim. This type of consumption, who could endure it endlessly?
In Realm Sea, waves rushed into the heavens. The four great experts slaughtered their way here, still fighting a great battle with no thought of personal safety. They already used up everything they had against each other, what was clashing now was willpower.
Unfortunately, ever since Shi Hao’s embodied body exploded, he couldn’t display it again, already unable to create another true self.
In reality, even if he didn’t detonate it, it would still be hard for him to create it again. The three great half immortal emperors were always tangling about him, not giving him any chance, suppressing him with all of their power.
At first, Shi Hao crazily fought a bloody battle against them, not willing to leave. Meanwhile, the three great half immortal emperors also went crazy in trying to stop Shi Hao, wishing to eliminate him in this battle, scared that they would be leaving behind a great disaster after he escaped.
Meanwhile, later on, they were forced to this step. Whichever side wanted to flee in defeat would suffer the crazy pursuit and attacks of the other side.
What supported them now was just a bit of spirit, a conviction that they had to win!
Grand Emperor and Feather Emperor were incredibly sullen and furious. They previously suffered serious injuries, so they couldn’t display their true power in their clash against Shi Hao now. They believed that this was the reason why the battle continued for thirty thousand years.
In Realm Sea, black waves surged. From time to time, sets of skeletal remains could be seen.
Some were left behind millions and millions of years ago and some died in the recent twenty to thirty thousand years. It was because the darkness great army went on ahead, already slaughtering their way into the other side of Realm Sea. After suffering some resistance along the way, they continued to sweep outwards.
A portion of the creatures descended along Guidance Ancient Palace’s path, but there were also some that directly swept through Realm Sea.
Shi Hao and the three emperors’ battle extended into Realm Sea. He didn’t want the three great experts to reach the other shore of Realm Sea, but after fighting for another thousand years, the battlefield still shifted.
In the end, their battle approached the dam.
There were many creatures ashore. Even after all these years, intense battles continuously happened, the scene extremely miserable.
Immortal Domain was extremely uneasy, too many cultivators dying here. It was unknown just how many heroic individuals returned to the yellow earth.
It was because Guidance Ancient Palace descended, slaughtering the experts of all clans until they were powerless to retaliate. The darkness army took in the darkness clans that were previously corroded, adding them to their forces.
Fortunately, the Butcher, Fake Drug Dealer and Chicken Farmer were strong enough. They previously struck down two Guidance Ancient Palaces in Realm Sea, moreover seized a transport formation, bringing back some old kings.
Otherwise, Immortal Domain might have been wiped out just like that!
Despite this being the case, the results were still extremely miserable. Even after fighting to this day, countless heroic individuals perished and Immortal Domain was smashed to pieces. The past boundless world was in ruins.
Then, even the ‘Fake Drug Dealer’ was killed!
This individual divided his body into six parts, comprehended the endless dao to strengthen itself, already surrounded in half immortal emperor brilliance, but he still perished in the end.
It was because there were too many darkness creatures, the great army ferocious. Among them, there were extremely terrifying figures, creatures even stronger than that nine-headed monster, the amount of immortal kings that were devoured even greater in number.
Meanwhile, a hundred years before that, the Chicken Farmer also died. This female burial king died under the ancient curses of many fallen kings.
However, her death angered Burial Earth. Many Burial Kings rushed out. They were originally creatures created by Origin Ancient Artifact, corroded by darkness source, but now, they rebelled against the Guidance Ancient Palaces.
The most important thing was that the founder of undead knights appeared!
No one expected that the female undead knight who raised some phoenixes as chickens was actually the founder’s descendant!
As for the founder, this was the first creature that came into contact with Origin Ancient Artifact. However, he already disappeared for millions and millions of years, remained silent for who knew how many great eras.
That was why everyone thought that he had died. However, none of them expected that he would appear again. He actually sealed himself in a clay container, buried in Burial Earth.
Burial Earth’s founder was named Burial Lord. He was incomparably powerful, a bit more formidable than even his descendant. However, it was quite the pity, he was still a hair off from becoming a half immortal emperor.
He had gone to Realm Sea before, but then fled back. He previously sensed that the other side of Realm Sea was endlessly terrifying, so he always remained dormant all these years.
With his appearance, the pressure on the Butcher lessened considerably.
The half immortal emperor radiance on Burial Lord’s body was extremely strong. His magical force surged, only stronger than the Butcher.
However, Immortal Domain and Burial Earth’s experts still became fewer and fewer, continuously withering away. A group of experts fell one after another.
Shi Hao returned. He stopped the three great experts, fighting fiercely in Realm Sea near the shore. All of Immortal Domain’s clans were shaken, even the darkness creatures were stupefied.
The great battle of half immortal emperors was actually this intense!
When watching from the distance, those figures were all slaughtered until they became skeletons, their bodies badly damaged, flesh dried up. It really was shocking.
Everyone backed up. After slaughtering to this extent, it would be useless no matter who went out there. They would definitely die. That level of battle wasn’t something they could participate in.
“Huang, he is Huang!”
Finally, someone screamed out, extremely moved and also incredibly shocked.
Huang left for hundreds of thousands of years, disappeared for just too long.
Shi Hao previously left alone, heading into Realm Sea, leaving for many tens of thousands of years. It had already been a long time since he last interacted with Immortal Domain.
Comparatively speaking, the creatures in Realm Sea, for example, the Butcher and the others had seen him thirty thousand years ago.
“Shi Hao, you are still alive!”
On the great earth behind the dam, a familiar cold voice that carried emotional fluctuations sounded.
Shi Hao turned around, immediately recognizing that this was the Heavenly Horned Ant. His entire body was drenched in blood, now already an immortal king. However, his injuries were extremely serious, even the Origin Source Cauldron floating above his head was damaged, the Immortal Gold great club even more so having a chunk missing.
One could well imagine just how terrifying this battle was.
The Heavenly Horned Ant was an unyielding figure. After fighting all these years, he had long witnessed life and death. However, after recognizing that the one who was like a skeleton, fighting against half immortal emperors was Shi Hao, his eyes still couldn’t help but turn sour, hot tears tumbling down.
“Shi Hao, you have to get revenge for Cao Yusheng and the others!” The Heavenly Horned Ant roared out.
He wanted to stir on Shi Hao’s fighting spirit, to grant Huang even more fighting intent. It was because he could already tell that Shi Hao was like an arrow at the end of his flight, bitterly struggling on.
After all, Shi Hao was fighting three great half immortal emperors alone!
“What happened to Cao Yusheng?!” Shi Hao roared out in Realm Sea, asking like this.
“He fell in battle, his spirit returning to Burial Earth, soul scattered. Only a ruined body is buried in Burial Earth.” The Heavenly Horned Ant felt great sadness.
Those who were of the same era as him all pretty much died off. The past Cao Yusheng drank and ate with him, a good friend from the same generation, yet he was no longer here.
There were too many experts who perished!
For example, that little dog also accompanied Cao Yusheng.
Hunyuan Immortal King and many giants in Immortal Domain also withered away, falling. If not for the group who returned from Realm Sea, they simply couldn’t withstand the enemy.
However, there were still some creatures who returned from Realm Sea who were muddle-headed, falling into darkness, seeing them as enemies.
This was a chaotic age, battles happening everywhere.
“What about the others?!” Shi Hao asked. He didn’t see Number Two Under Heaven, Ecliptic Immortal Gold Daoist and the others.
“Bird Grandpa and Coin Elder suffered serious damage, on the verge of dying. They were corroded by darkness, now struggling at death’s door.” The Heavenly Horned Ant told him, his expression full of sorrow.
“What about Darkness Willow Deity?!” Shi Hao asked.
“He might have died. He was surrounded, suffering the joint attacks of fallen immortal kings, and disappeared after the most bitter battle!” The Heavenly Horned Ant replied.
ROAR!
Shi Hao screamed out.
If Darkness Willow Deity died, then would there be any hope for Willow Deity to be revived? There were only scorched black roots and a chunk of the tree stump left!
In Realm Sea, the great battle became more and more intense. Shi Hao went crazy, going all out against the three half immortal emperors, stopping them from reaching shore. He couldn’t let them cross over, or else Immortal Domain would be completely destroyed. If that were to happen, there would be no Immortal Domain to speak of.
This battle was incredibly difficult.
Shi Hao was always in a passive state because he was doing his best to stop these three. This gave the three of them opportunities, allowing them to attack him viciously from time to time.
Despite this being the case, Shi Hao stopped them for hundreds of years with great difficulty. Immortal Domain was still extremely miserable, slaughtering until the sun and moon lost radiance, blood flowing like rivers.
It was useless even if undead knights joined their side!
The darkness great army that descended from Guidance Ancient Palace really was too great.
Ah…
In Immortal Domain, there was an immortal king who roared out, a rain of blood flying about, his soul scattering, radiance illuminating the ruined cosmos.
“Pan King!” Someone cried out in grief.
Pan King perished, killed by a darkness giant.
Hou!
The Butcher roared, rushing over. The weapon in his hands released immortal light, hacking off the head of the one who killed Pan King, eradicating his soul there.
However, this still couldn’t change anything. Pan King died.
“Ancestor!” Pan Yi screamed out, rushing in that area, wishing to grab something.
In Realm Sea, Shi Hao seethed in anger. However, he was stopped. Three great half immortal emperors surrounded him, he was completely powerless to provide assistance.
“Pan King has shown me great kindness! With the name of Huang, I command the world’s great dao, if there is karma, attach it all to me, protect Pan King!” Shi Hao screamed out.
His voice was overcast, but dao laws were spoken from his mouth. This was half immortal emperor level power. They turned into ripples, surrounding this starry sky.
However, displaying unmatched profound mysteries like this made his body suffer a serious blow. The three great half immortal emperors released sneers, taking action against him ruthlessly.
In the distance, in the ruined Immortal Domain’s cosmos, Pan King’s destroyed body recombined. His shattered primordial spirit gathered a bit, entering his body.
It was clear that the abilities of half immortal emperors were limited. The reason why Shi Hao was like this was because Pan King’s body was still there, there were still bits of primordial spirit here.
Pan King was also killed by fallen immortal kings, not by half immortal emperors, so there was still a trace of life force left.
Chi!
In the end, Pan King shone, turning into an immortal peach tree, his original form wrapped within light. The void was torn apart and then it disappeared.
Unfortunately, even though Shi Hao did everything he could, Pan King’s will still disappeared, only a tree body and some instincts left behind. Perhaps after endless years, a new spirit would form, awakening the bits of memories that remained.
Aohou…
A Golden Fur Hou’s body exploded. Shi Hao’s eyes erupted with brilliance, recognizing that this was the mount he subdued before.
“You still have the extra strength to help others?” Feather Emperor laughed.
Shi Hao indeed felt a wave of powerlessness. He forcefully intervened, protecting Pan King, this made him suffer greatly, exhausting a huge amount of essence energy.
“Golden Fur Hou!” Shi Hao released a low roar, still wishing to help it.
“There’s no need. I will head on ahead of you!” Right now, the Golden Fur Hou was incredibly strong, burning his own ruined soul. His essence blood was like an oil lamp, igniting its own life force while rushing at the opponent.
Hong!
In the end, waves of terrifying light surged.
Shi Hao released a low roar, his brows standing on end!
He noticed that this region was different from the others. The Heavenly Horned Ant was fighting there, the Golden Fur Hou also dying in battle, the place where Pan King fell not far.
“Kill!” Someone roared out.
In that place, there was a great army.
At the same time, there was a great flag that fluttered about, the words written on it actually ‘Imperial Court’.
Soon afterwards, he saw something else. He saw that there was a youngster who looked extremely similar to himself, extremely valiant. This was a young immortal king who was fighting the fallen immortal kings, his entire body covered in blood.
Behind that young king, a great formation stood powerfully, its immortal might pervading the air.
There were eight hundred old soldiers that roared and screamed out. They all carried formation banners, forming an immortal king formation, charging with him.
At this time, there were some hot tears that tumbled down Shi Hao’s eyes.
He naturally recognized that youngster. This was his own son! He actually rose up in this most terrifying age of chaos, participating in this battle.
However, what almost made him cry were the eight hundred old soldiers.
Those were old soldiers who had previously followed him. Now, they were following his son to battle!
The descendants of Desolate Border’s Seven Kings and the robust men from Stone Village, they previously followed Shi Hao in the Cultivationless Age, becoming his eight hundred disciple soldiers, following him into the Nine Heavens.
However, time was ruthless, the Cultivationless Age impossible to solve. In the end, only Mu Qing and a few others remained at his side, the others all disappeared.
The people of this world always believed that the eight hundred soldiers definitely died of old age.
Shi Hao built gravestones for them, many people personally saw him do this.
In reality, he sealed up the eight hundred soldiers in Divine Origin Liquid, they later on disappeared with Stone Village.
“We drank the blood of immortal kings, long obtained new liveslifes. Now, after cultivating for endless years, this is the time to fight to the end! Death is the ultimate destination for warriors, the place all heroic souls return to. What is there to fear?!”
The eight hundred soldiers roared, guarding this new Little Stone’s sides, forming a great formation, fighting with him.
These elders had previously been sealed by Shi Hao. He had also left them with great medicines and refined immortal blood, but he didn’t want them to come into the world again, wishing for them to spend their days in peace.
Who would have thought that even they slaughtered their way out.
The Heavenly Horned Ant didn’t tell Shi Hao about it before because he didn’t want to draw the three great half immortal emperors’ attention, scared that they would attack Shi Hao’s son.
The old soldiers shed blood, some of them losing their lives.
“Heavenly Emperor Huang!”
The old soldiers roared out, screaming as they looked towards Realm Sea.
“Ah…” Shi Hao roared out like a wounded beast. As he watched those old soldiers slaughter their way out with his own son, fight a great battle there, blood continuously splashing into the sky, his eyes even became red.
“Heavenly Emperor Huang!”
As if they sensed something, the eight hundred soldiers looked in that direction. They roared out, howling in grief.
Hong!
The three great half immortal emperors seriously injured Shi Hao. In the end, they still ascended to Dam World. In the end, offense was always easier than defence.
“Heh, haha…” Feather Emperor roared with laughter.
“Huang, you are dead for sure! Now that we’ve arrived in this world, it is time for your downfall!” Grand Emperor’s laughter was extremely cruel, his killing intent rushing into the heavens.
Shi Hao dove down, arriving on the dam, stopping the three emperors.
“It’s useless, it’s already too late! The balance has already been shattered!” Gray Emperor said coldly. He opened his mouth. Black mist surged around the nearby fallen kings, some blood radiance entering Gray Emperor’s mouth.
“Hahahaha…” Feather Emperor laughed in an extremely brash manner. A pair of giant wings surged, wisps of blood appearing on his body, producing a bit more essence energy.
This indeed shattered the balance!
During these years, they fought endlessly against Shi Hao, fighting to the most cruel state, their essence blood even drying up, unable to appear anymore.
It was because their consumption was just too great.
After arriving here, the fallen kings’ bodies actually had the ruined blood these three emperors needed.
“Back then, we granted them a bit of emperor blood to form some commanders. Even though it is extremely little, it is enough to shatter the balance!” Grand Emperor said.
The giants among fallen kings immediately shriveled up and perished.
This was an extremely terrifying thing. Even though the amount of essence energy they received wasn’t great, it still broke this balance.
Moreover, black mist surged from the darkness creatures’ bodies, surging crazily towards them. This was the most basic darkness matter, able to effectively replenish their needs.
All of this was beneficial for them.
“This battle is already finished!” Gray Emperor said.
The three great half immortal emperors believed that the balance was shattered, they slowly seized the advantage, believing they could kill Shi Hao. This was especially the case when this was Immortal Domain, so Shi Hao had to act with restraint.
The bodies of some experts in Immortal Domain went ice-cold. They all heard this, because the voices of half immortal emperors spread throughout this realm.
“Kill!”
The Heavenly Horned Ant released a great roar, other immortal kings responding to this cry, fighting crazily, continuing a great battle.
“I want to slaughter my way over there!” At this time, there was a young immortal king who looked extremely similar to Shi Hao. He wanted to slaughter his way towards Huang’s direction.
At the young king’s side, those old soldiers were incredibly loyal. They were bathed in blood as they protected him.
“Father, your blood flows within me, my soul is also your inheritance. I can help you replenish a bit of essence blood, grant you a bit of fighting strength!” The new Little Stone said quietly inside, transmitting sound.
Shi Hao suddenly raised his head. He heard these words, the father and son sharing a mysterious feeling.
Right now, his hair danced about crazily, his expression terrifying. His entire body was shaking. How could he accept such a thing?!
The eight hundred soldiers seemed to have sensed something as well. They howled in sadness, charging forward together.
“I have a father and mother, have seniors, yet cannot see them. My wife, my child, my loved ones… all of Stone Village was sealed up. As time went on, I couldn’t return, only able to fight by my lonesome self until today. Do I have to lose even my own son? Ah…” Blood flowed from Shi Hao’s heart, his eyes about to split open. He roared into the sky.
His aura surged, feeling endless sorrow and killing intent. His entire body released resplendent radiance!
