Chapter 833: Chapter 833: Mysterious Creatures

The silhouette approached from afar, each step reverberating with a rhythm that was indescribable, like a Divine Drum resounding, knocking on one’s heart!

If an ordinary Godhood Attainer stood here, faced with these footsteps, they would have long coughed blood and been swept away, as he merged with the heavens and earth, releasing a terrifying pressure.

Shi Hao concentrated, extremely solemn, knowing that he had encountered a formidable opponent!

Gray mist pervaded, as if Senluo Hell had descended upon the world, sinister and cold. It drew near, a humanoid creature, stepping not quickly, yet using the Ground Shrinking Technique, coming within a hundred zhang distance.

The approaching figure halted, the gray mist shrouding there, making it impossible to discern true appearance, only a pair of eyes penetrating the gray mist, emitting a chilling light, indistinguishable between pupils and sclera.

The gray mist dispersed, but even with Shi Hao’s Dual Pupils, he could not see through.

The eyes of this creature were unlike pupils, resembling knives, devoid of human emotion, with no emotional waves, the entirety as cold as rock.

If not for seeing this organism standing there, even using Divine Sense to perceive would neglect that place because there were no life characteristics, unable to sense a trace of blood and qi.

“Who are you?” Shi Hao asked, confused by this bizarre change, though cautious, he was also eager to understand what was going on.

“Be careful, he’s a monster aiming to ruin your Dao foundation. It’s over… another tragedy is unfolding, unable to pass this hurdle.” The Illusory Heaven Divine Vine trembled, shivering as it spoke.

“What nonsense!” the Divine Striking Stone reprimanded.

Gray mist loomed, this person resembling a devil God hailing from hell, standing there like a mountain, making breathing difficult due to the oppressive presence.

He remained speechless, without any expression, but those eyes grew increasingly terrifying, staring at Shi Hao, as cold as a stone, akin to a wild beast.

“The Five-Crowned King endured the initial misfortune; can I not achieve the same?” Shi Hao remarked, glancing at the Divine Striking Stone and Illusory Heaven Divine Vine, reassuring them not to worry.

“It’s different this time; this is dangerous, a monster with physical form…” The Illusory Heaven Divine Vine felt a strong urge to flee, to leave here never to return.

There was no breath, no life force, and the humanoid creature in the gray mist was indifferent, feeling no life fluctuations but exuding a daunting pressure.

“Boom!”

He moved, the moment his right arm raised, dispersing some of the gray mist, revealing his weapon–a War Spear with mottled green rust on bronze, filled with the aura of time.

Shi Hao focused on the War Spear, his heart tightening; this was undoubtedly an ancient weapon, appearing older than any artifact he had seen, as if it had always existed.

Clang!

The man’s arm shook, and the Bronze War Spear emitted a metallic sound, as if echoing from before the creation of the world, vibrating through the rivers of time.

In that instant, Shi Hao was tense, his hair standing on end, a sense of danger, alert to a superior opponent; this creature was very strange.

Space trembled, the creature a hundred zhang away holding a Bronze Spear, pointing toward Shi Hao, the world around seemed to shake.

“Be careful!” the Divine Stone advised.

“As long as it is a living creature, there’s no misjudgment in killing!” Shi Hao coldly declared, and with a clang, a Void Halberd appeared in his hand, its brilliant blade pointing forward.

However, when he looked up at the lamp in the sky, his pupils flickered–a symbol of cosmic order, indicating here as a coordinate point.

Because of this, that creature arrived. Can all this be explained by reason? Is the terrifying entity truly a living creature?

No matter what, there’s no need to overthink it–just battle!

From his debut to now, Shi Hao has faced many life-threatening battles, and even died once, buried beneath the Yellow Earth Tomb; what is there to fear, even if it is “strange change.”

“Hiss!”

The creature moved, one step spanning a hundred zhang, charging with the Bronze War Spear straight at Shi Hao’s forehead, precise and fierce.

This set Shi Hao’s heart racing; the opponent was so fast, equally matched to his speed, like lightning tearing through the void, instantly reaching him.

Bang!

He swung the golden halberd, its bright blade like a comet slicing through the sky, illuminating this land, clashing with the spear tip, the collision resonating with a deafening metallic sound.

At this moment, the bluestone path trembled, the void distorted between heaven and earth, cracks appearing everywhere.

Shi Hao shuddered, his arms tingling, ears buzzing; the force of this strike was tremendous, almost breaking his arms, making his blood and qi surge.

If it were someone else, an arm would undoubtedly shatter; such force is unbearable, exceeding the limits of this realm.

“Boom!”

In brief agony, Shi Hao swung the Void Halberd, launching an offensive, slicing toward the opponent with lethal force, the bright blade traversing long distances and leaving a massive rift.

This was a precious halberd honed from Beast Bone, possessing boundless power!

The creature reacted swiftly, adapting rapidly, holding the Bronze Spear with both hands, colliding against Shi Hao’s strike in sheer force.

Bang!

This was their most intense and aggressive clash, fierce and overbearing to the extreme.

The piercing reverberation split the void, erupting with brilliant light, shaking the sky, its might enough to ignite fear in other Godhood Attainers.

Shi Hao’s arms throbbed with pain, as if broken, his fingers seeping blood; it was a contest of bodily force, clashing with the greatest power, but resulted in blood dripping from his fingertips.

The opponent’s force was overwhelmingly fierce!

He looked up, seeing that figure also retreating, leaving behind a pool of black blood on the ground, exuding a cold aura with a corrosive force.

He realized the opponent’s thumb cracked and bled as well, yet it was black blood, which was incredibly strange.

Clearly, their physical strength was even.

“Strange change, for creatures of different realms, does it unleash opponents with respective strength?” Shi Hao squinted his eyes slightly.

Hiss!

The next moment, the creature moved, like a furious flood, unstoppable, brandishing the Bronze Spear with extreme speed, piercing through the void wherever it struck, terrifying beyond imagination.

His spearhead targeted Shi Hao’s vital points, from forehead to throat, then heart, the rust-laden green copper spear forming an afterimage, swift as lightning, imposing to the peak.

In fierce combat, the two moved like flashes of lightning, so fast that outsiders could hardly see, only their weapons clashing, releasing brilliant characters.

Moreover, the metallic clang was continuous, inseparable, noting their incredible speed.

Bang!

Eventually, separating again, both stood a hundred zhang apart, each on one side.

“Are you alright?” the Divine Striking Stone was alarmed.

Because, beneath Shi Hao’s feet, the ground was covered with fresh red blood, all flowing from his hands, his arms convulsing, with cracked tiger mouths, and bleeding fingers.

“It’s okay!” Shi Hao said.

How could it be okay? The clash, to this extent, made his body bear extreme pressure, a little more might, and it could collapse.

This was the most terrifying equally matched opponent in body combat Shi Hao had faced since his debut.

Across, gray mist surged, the ground also stained with blood, though black, shocking and chilling.

“Kill!”

Shi Hao shouted, his body surging with golden light, thunder and lightning crackling, unleashing his utmost strength completely.

Holding the Void Halberd, accompanied by the lightning style precious technique, pushing his battle power to the peak, blending body with supreme Secret Technique, attacking forward to slaughter the entity.

The gray mist swirled, the person’s aura altered, transforming into a black hole, devouring everything, the mist turning black, akin to ink, chilling hearts, as if witnessing the opening of Hell’s gate.

Bang!

The War Halberd in Shi Hao’s hand was blocked by the Bronze Spear, and the endless lightning unleashed by the Thunder Emperor’s Treasure Art plunged into the black mist, causing turmoil.

A chilling event unfolded, all the lightning, an endless thunder, descended like a mud bull into the sea, vanishing into black mist.

“What’s happening?” Shi Hao was astonished, never encountering such a terrifying opponent.

He knew, this was the Thunder Emperor’s Treasure Art, claimed as one of the most potent attack Divine Skills in the world; at the same stage, who could withstand it, even if blocking, how could it erase all the lightning?

Bang!

Black mist surged, but the humanoid creature wasn’t unscathed, finally being flung sideways, crashing at the end of the bluestone path.

Yet, the lightning vanished mysteriously, not piercing him, this was most horrifying and ominous.

“How could this be?” Shi Hao’s pupils glowed with fiery intensity, recognizing the gravity of the situation.

“Kill!”

He charged again, lightning illuminating the surroundings, orchestrating infinite lightning to strike the creature, refusing to believe he could dissolve them all.

The unexpected transpired again.

The opponent, as Shi Hao, released lightning, albeit black, boundless in might, terrifyingly similar to his Treasure Art!

The two lightning types clashed, divine light bursting, the world trembled.

“How can this be!” Even the Divine Striking Stone in the distance quivered, how could such a rival emerge, capable of resisting the Thunder Emperor’s Treasure Art?

One side blazed with brilliant lightning, the other with black lightning, both equally potent, their attack methods even resembling each other.

Intense combat, this place became turbulent, the bluestone path swaying, lightning raging like a sea between the two, dreadful beyond words.

Shi Hao’s heart wouldn’t settle; he was sure, the opponent mastered the Thunder Emperor’s Treasure Art, equally skilled in this ancient forbidden Secret Technique!

What origin did this creature have, possessing mastery over such a supreme forbidden Treasure Art!

Boom!

Another tremendous collision, lightning flared between them, finally scattering much of the eerie black mist, and in a fleeting glance, Shi Hao was startled.

Amidst the obscurity, the person’s skull was impaled with a short spear, barely two chi long, embedded from the forehead, piercing out the back, its tip carrying green copper rust and an aura of time.

“This…” His heart surged with waves, how could this be? Such an injury should be fatal, even piercing the Primordial Spirit!

“Kill!” Shi Hao roared, regardless of the monstrosity, firm in his belief in his power, determined for a decisive battle.

With a loud bang, the Kun Peng wings unfolded like clouds towering the sky, sweeping toward the opponent, erupting with ultimate destructive power.

With a smack, the creature within the black mist was knocked flying by the Kun Peng wings, colliding against the ancient path, yet he quickly rose again, sprouting a pair of gray-black wings, charging rapidly.

“What?!” Shi Hao’s pupils contracted, detecting familiar essence, seemingly the Kun Peng’s technique, albeit with a faint decaying aura.

Why? His heart raced.

If possessing the ancient Thunder Emperor’s Treasure Art was coincidental, given the person’s age, possibly related to the Thunder Emperor.

But now, how was the Kun Peng’s Technique displayed?

From this point, he ceased using other Treasure Arts, engaging in battle solely with these two forbidden Divine Skills, and fought for two thousand rounds, drenched in blood, utterly exhausted.

Shi Hao plunged into a life-threatening struggle, internally shaken, restless.

Now, he was certain the opponent mastered not only the Thunder Emperor’s Treasure Art but also the Kun Peng’s technique, equally proficient!

“Must change the situation!” Shi Hao’s eyes were resolute; he understood a necessity to alter; otherwise, significant issues would arise.

“Multiple techniques at once, can you master them all?” In the next moment, Shi Hao acted, his whole being ablaze, Bone Text interwoven, dazzling to the extreme.

He unleashed all the precious symbols he had learned throughout his life, completely igniting, sweeping forward to assault this person.

When the Reincarnation Technique manifested, a decaying aura emanated from the opponent. Next, the Thunder Emperor’s Treasure Art, Kun Peng’s Technique, Heaven’s Tribulation Light, all released…

Boom!

The creature in the black mist was blasted away, its body cracked, enduring unimaginable attacks.

Hiss!

Shi Hao charged ahead, holding the Void Halberd, following up with another strike!

In this process, he was horrified to discover that the opponent exhibited Reincarnation Technique characters as well, unthinkable.

“Die!”

He acted swiftly, with lightning wings, Kun Peng wings, Ground Shrinking Technique–three techniques united, achieving speed beyond limits!

Poof!

Success!

The bright halberd blade pierced the opponent’s chest at the moment Bone Text flared, pinning him to the ground.

Simultaneously, the black mist dissipated, and Shi Hao saw his appearance.

Instantly, he widened his eyes, his body quivering, eyes blazing like flames, his heart trembling, profoundly shaken.

This person bore an uncanny resemblance to him, only with gray-white hair, somewhat aged, resembling him in his twilight years.

“How is this possible!?” Shi Hao exclaimed.

The clothes this person wore were the Immortal Ancient clothing recorded in Bone Texts, and the short spear piercing the forehead was also ancient, heavily rusted.
