Chat group: Fusion of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, Healer Willow Goddess

Page 73

A faint, intermittent divine thought, filled with vicissitudes and awe, emanated from the halberd and resounded directly in Shi Hao's sea of ​​consciousness.

...........

Clearly, the Heavenly Desolate Halberd recognized Liu Shen! It even held him in high esteem!

This secretly shocked Shi Hao!

It seems that Master Liu's reputation in the Immortal Ancient Era was truly known to all! Even the weapons of the Ten Fiends held him in such awe!

"You...really...will go to save...the master's descendants?" The faint divine thought of the Heavenly Desolate Battle Halberd came again, carrying a trace of urgency and expectation.

"I, Shi Hao, keep my word!" Sensing the spirit's expectation, Shi Hao solemnly and resolutely promised, "Once my cultivation is sufficient, I will surely flatten the Five Elements Mountain and rescue Kunpengzi!"

“Good…” A hint of relief seemed to come from the divine sense of the Heavenly Desolate Battle Halberd, “I…believe in you…humanity…”

"I... will go with you..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the light around the Heavenly Desolate Battle Halberd completely subsided, and the terrifying killing aura disappeared entirely, restoring its ancient and unadorned appearance.

This time, however, it was no longer stuck diagonally in the ground, but... slowly floated up and landed in front of Shi Hao, as if waiting for its new owner to pick it up.

Looking at the legendary and supreme weapon before him, Shi Hao was filled with emotion.

He reached out and gently grasped the cold, heavy halberd shaft.

hum!

The Heavenly Desolate Halberd trembled slightly, as if expressing some kind of approval.

Thus, this supreme and deadly weapon, which was enough to tempt even a Celestial King, temporarily belonged to Shi Hao!

Yunxi, who was standing to the side, had already seen everything!

From Shi Hao speaking to the broken halberd, to the broken halberd unleashing its terrifying power, to the appearance and soothing effect of the mysterious green light on Shi Hao's body, and finally to the broken halberd voluntarily recognizing him as its master...

She felt like her brain was completely overloaded!

This little guy... not only is he incredibly strong, but he also has a mark left by a mysterious senior hidden on his body?

It can even make the legendary Ten Ferocious Weapons willingly recognize a master?!

Who exactly is he?!

Yunxi looked at Shi Hao with an unprecedented sense of shock, curiosity, and... a slight flutter of emotion that even she herself could not understand.

Having subdued the Heavenly Desolate Battle Halberd and looted the remaining scattered treasures in the core area of ​​the Kunpeng Nest, such as fragments of Kunpeng's remains and divine soil, Shi Hao felt that he had basically achieved his goal for this trip.

The Kunpeng Nest, having lost its core inheritance and true blood support, began to become increasingly unstable, with more and more spatial cracks appearing, as if it could collapse completely at any moment.

"We shouldn't stay here any longer, we should go," Shi Hao said to Yun Xi, who was still in a daze.

"Ah? Oh... okay..." Yunxi seemed to wake from a dream and quickly nodded.

Without further hesitation, the two rushed back in the direction they had come from, towards the now extremely unstable golden portal!

This time, without interference from others, and with Shi Hao's initial mastery of the Kunpeng's extreme speed, their speed reached its limit!

Finally, just before the Kunpeng Nest completely collapsed and was annihilated, they escaped the golden portal unscathed and returned once more to the still stormy and perilous North Sea!

Chapter 61: Shi Hao Slays the Venerable One, Yun Xi's Shy Demeanor, and a Promise is Made!

On the North Sea, the storm continues, with raging waves reaching the sky.

Having just escaped from the collapsed and destroyed Kunpeng Nest, Shi Hao and Yun Xi looked somewhat disheveled, but the way they looked at each other was filled with complex and indescribable emotions.

Having survived the life-or-death test at the heart of the lair, they witnessed the awe-inspiring scene of Shi Hao breaking through the killing formation, suppressing the will of the Kunpeng, and ultimately seizing the supreme inheritance.

Yunxi's resentment and contempt for Shi Hao had long since dissipated without her realizing it.

Instead, she felt an indescribable shock, curiosity, and... a trace of instinctive awe for the strong that she herself was unaware of, and perhaps even a little bit of a strange emotion.

This guy... although he acts domineeringly and has a foul mouth, like a little hooligan, his strength, his courage, his will... all far exceeded her imagination!

She was even more dazzling than any other prodigy she had ever seen!

Of course, when she thought of the Lingxi Pendant, which he had stolen from her and which was of great significance, Yunxi's pretty face still couldn't help but burn slightly, and she still felt a little ashamed and indignant.

Looking at the celestial goddess Yunxi, dressed in pure purple with an ethereal air, Shi Hao had to admit that she was indeed a true prodigy, despite their many bickerings and even two instances of him "bullying" her along the way.

Whether it was his performance in the Kunpeng Nest test or his calm response to the siege by the sea creatures, he demonstrated the strength and demeanor expected of a top successor.

Moreover, she did provide some important intelligence during this trip, which helped him to some extent.

Although I can obtain the Kunpeng Treasure Technique without her, the process might be more complicated.

"Ahem." Shi Hao coughed lightly, breaking the somewhat subtle silence between the two.

"Three-Five-Three"

He looked at Yunxi and gave her a relatively kind smile.

Of course, Yunxi thought he was a bit naughty, practically a little hooligan.

Shi Hao took the initiative to speak, "Um... female villain... cough, Fairy Yunxi, thank you very much for the information you provided this time. Although you didn't manage to seize the Kunpeng Treasure Technique, you must have gained quite a few other benefits along the way, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yunxi blushed slightly and gave a soft "humph," which was taken as her tacit agreement.

She did indeed gather some rare spiritual herbs needed by the Celestial Race in the Kunpeng Nest, and also studied some ancient runes. Her gains were considerable, but compared to Shi Hao's heaven-defying harvest, they were insignificant.

"Now that things are settled here, what are your plans?" Shi Hao asked again, then extended his previous "invitation," "How about... coming with me to Stone Village as a guest? Although our village isn't big, it's beautiful with clear waters and fresh air. My patriarch grandfather, and all the uncles and aunties, are incredibly hospitable. I guarantee they'll take good care of you... um, make you plump and healthy!"

He brought up the topic of gaining weight again!

Upon hearing this, Yunxi almost couldn't resist taking action again!

That rascal, he can't stop making fun of people!

She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shame and anger in her heart. Recalling Shi Hao's outrageous words, "I'll carry you back to the village to be my wife," her pretty face turned even redder, as if it were about to bleed!

That scoundrel! He...he wouldn't really want to "tie" me back to that Stone Village, would he?!

Thinking of this, Yunxi felt a pang of panic and quickly shook her head slightly, refusing in a cool tone, "No need! I have important matters to attend to for my clan and must return to Tian Shen Mountain as soon as possible to report back!"

"Oh? That's it, okay then."

Seeing that she refused, Shi Hao did not force her, but a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

However, just when Shi Hao thought the conversation was over, Yun Xi suddenly raised her head, and her beautiful, amethyst-like eyes became extremely serious and solemn!

"Shi Hao!" She called his name so solemnly for the first time. "I must remind you of something! Something... a matter of life and death concerning the entire Lower Realm Eight Domains!"

"Hmm?" Seeing her serious expression, Shi Hao also became serious. "What is it?"

Yunxi's tone was heavy with worry: "According to the ancient prophecy that my Celestial Race has guarded for generations, and the strange phenomena of heaven and earth that I have recently observed... the great calamity of the eight regions of the lower realm is probably really coming!"

"A great calamity?" Shi Hao frowned slightly.

“That’s right!” Yunxi nodded and explained, “The prophecy didn’t specify what the calamity would be. But what is certain is that the scale and power of this calamity will far surpass any in history! It might even… affect the entire Eight Domains! At that time, the heavens and earth will be overturned, the laws will be in chaos, and even Venerables or beings at the Divine Fire Realm may not be able to protect themselves!”

"I suspect that the recent frequent appearances of ancient ruins and inheritances in the desolate region, including the opening of the Kunpeng Nest, may all be related to the impending calamity! This is the final frenzy before the catastrophe descends!"

"I see..." Shi Hao smiled slightly upon hearing this.

A great calamity in the eight lower realms?

This seems to have been mentioned in the original work, and it appears to be related to the intervention of a powerful figure from the upper realm? I didn't expect... it would come so soon?

Seeing Shi Hao's slightly solemn expression, Yun Xi continued, "This calamity is no small matter; no single force can withstand it alone! Only by uniting can we hope to overcome it! Shi Hao, your talent and strength are unparalleled throughout history, and your future achievements are limitless, but your cultivation is still shallow. I... I sincerely invite you to visit my Heavenly God Mountain after you have finished dealing with your current affairs!"

"Although my Celestial Race has long been secluded from the world, its foundation remains, and it is protected by ancient altars and magic arrays. When the great calamity comes, it may be able to provide you with a relatively safe haven. Moreover, my race also possesses countless ancient secrets and classic texts, which may be able to help you find more clues about this great calamity."

She extended the invitation with a sincere tone, clearly showing that she was genuinely considering Shi Hao's well-being.

Hearing her words, the slight resentment Shi Hao had felt from being teased completely vanished. He could sense the sincerity and kindness in Yun Xi's tone.

He looked at the Celestial Goddess who cared about him and gave her a gentle smile: "Thank you for your reminder and kindness, Fairy Yunxi. I will remember it. Once I have finished dealing with the affairs of the village, I will definitely visit Celestial God Mountain if I have the time."

As for the so-called protection... Shi Hao didn't care.

He has the supreme being Master Liu Shen as his backing, and the All-Heavens Chat Group, a super cheat that allows him to "run away" to other worlds at any time!

A mere calamity in the eight lower realms? Even if the sky were to fall, he wouldn't be afraid!

At worst... we'll just take our loved ones from Stone Village and run off to another world!

However, he naturally wouldn't tell Yunxi these trump cards.

"Very well! Then I will await your arrival at Mount Tianshen!"

When Yunxi saw that Shi Hao had agreed, she breathed a slight sigh of relief and a rare smile appeared on her face.

After agreeing to meet again at Tianshen Mountain in the future, the two prepared to go their separate ways.

Shi Hao prepared to activate the Willow God's Mark and return to Stone Village, while Yun Xi also prepared to use her flying magic weapon to return to the Celestial Race.

however!

Right now!

A sudden change occurred!

Swish!Swish!Swish!Swish!

Dozens of figures, filled with chilling killing intent and greed, appeared out of the void from all directions without warning, like ghosts.

They surrounded Shi Hao and Yun Xi!

These people, dressed in various styles and exuding powerful auras, included human cultivators and descendants of ancient races!

Among them, there were several who... exuded a terrifying aura far exceeding the Array Formation Realm, reaching the threshold of the Venerable Realm!

Their gazes toward Shi Hao were filled with undisguised greed and murderous intent!

"Hahaha! It's here as expected!"

"The Kunpeng legacy! It's ours!"

"Boy! And that Celestial Clan girl! Hand over all the treasures you obtained from the Kunpeng Nest obediently! Maybe we can still spare your corpses!"

The leader, a Venerable whose aura was as cold as a venomous snake, grinned maliciously, clearly having been lying in ambush, waiting for them to emerge from the Kunpeng's nest!

They dared not make a move inside the nest, fearing it would attract the attention of other powerful beings or trigger the Kunpeng's restrictions.

But in this chaotic North Sea, who would know if someone was killed and treasure stolen?!

"court death!"

Shi Hao's eyes flashed with a cold light as he looked at the robbers who had suddenly appeared!
