Chapter 1812 - Many Corpses Along the Supreme Being Path
Supreme being aura, did he already enter this domain?
s.h.i.+ Hao carefully examined himself. His strength increased drastically, becoming a good amount stronger than the Self Release Realm. Only today did he truly understand how far above supreme beings were, how they could dominate the creatures of all other clans.
With his current cultivation, even without taking action, just by releasing a bit of his aura, it would be enough to make the cultivators of other cultivation realms tremble, their bodies break apart.
Compared to before, the absolute domination, the feeling of being high up above, was hard to explain.
Just s.h.i.+ Hao alone, just a single drop of blood could purge a top level sect, a wave of his hands able to destroy the star domain, refine the sun, moon, and stars. If he released killing intent, he could instantly destroy groups of Self Release Realm cultivators.
This type of power’s explosive growth produced great waves in s.h.i.+ Hao’s mind.
“An insurmountable heavenly moat.” He was deeply moved inwardly. Even though self release was a cultivation level lower than supreme being, the difference was tremendous. There was a chasm that couldn’t be crossed.
Did he enter the Supreme Being Realm just like that?
s.h.i.+ Hao was shaken. He remembered that after he severed many of his thoughts, paid the price, only then did he ascend on this path.
He now succeeded?
However, this all happened too quickly. Even though there were difficulties, as well as danger to his life, comparatively speaking, this supreme being path wasn’t as impossible as he had imagined.
“Something’s wrong, my dao skills aren’t stable, my magical force is rising and falling, flesh and spirit incomplete.” s.h.i.+ Hao examined himself, cool-headedly examining his own flaws.
He raised his head towards the heavens. At the final juncture, was it really just those streaks of light that came to test him?
The so-called heaven and earth interrogation wasn’t as terrifying as he had imagined.
The world was overcast, primal chaos wreaking havoc, void splitting, time fragments flying about. s.h.i.+ Hao was distracted. Something seemed wrong, did he really advance just like that?
He felt some hesitation. He walked out of the primal chaos, wis.h.i.+ng to enter Desolate Region.
While moving, he felt a chill. It was just an instantaneous feeling, quickly fading.
However, s.h.i.+ Hao immediately froze. It was because in that instant, his entire body went ice-cold, his fine hairs standing on end, his heart starting to pound!
In that instant, his supreme being level mind actually felt a bit of fretfulness, as if doomsday was coming. Just how terrifying of a great matter was this?
After some hesitation, s.h.i.+ Hao continued to walk forward. He wanted to see just what exactly it was.
The world became overcast, primal chaos scattering. There was only an endless void, dusky to the point of making one suffocate, making one’s mind gloomy.
The further s.h.i.+ Hao walked forward, the more shocked he became. This way back didn’t seem right, why did it become so suffocating?
He knew that something was wrong, but he didn’t stop, still continuing.
Soon afterwards, he saw a special path made of black stones. He directly took it. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to have been soaked in blood, a dark red color.
“Corpses!”
There were corpses collapsed at the roadside one after another.
These corpses were extremely strange, extremely special. They all released astonis.h.i.+ng battle intent and powerful auras. Even though they were dead, there were still undying imprints surging.
“Supreme being auras!”
s.h.i.+ Hao was moved. This path inside the primal chaos was extremely strange, at the sides of the stone path, those figures all had supreme being auras released from their bodies.
“Many corpses along the supreme being path.”
At this moment, he saw a broken monument just by the side of the road. There were a few characters engraved on its surface, dripping with blood, carrying a wave of killing intent!
s.h.i.+ Hao was shocked. Even someone as powerful as him felt chills, his body going taut, feeling great danger.
At the end of the path was a cliff. Further down was an expanse of pitch-black, nothing could be seen. This was an endless abyss!
Supreme being path!
There were only three characters on the ground, written in blood just like that, bright red and dazzling. This blood seemed to be carrying heat as well.
Who was it? Who was it that left it there?
s.h.i.+ Hao stood there, not moving at all, quietly sensing, thinking to himself.
Supreme being path, the road ahead was broken, an endless abyss before him. Did this mean that if he continued with it, he would fall into darkness, consigned to eternal d.a.m.nation?
Honglong!
Between heaven and earth, rumbling sounds rang out unendingly, as if there was a great dao rippling outwards, echoing about, about to revive from death.
s.h.i.+ Hao raised his head towards the sky. In the dusky sky, there was some brilliance, a bit of order. His heart developed a type of reaction, trying to seize that hint of opportunity.
Then, he became stupefied, becoming extremely shocked.
Heaven and man resonance, he understood the secret of this place.
It seemed real, but all of these were imprints left behind after endless ages. The so-called supreme being path was carved from the great dao, things that some supreme beings previously experienced.
No wonder there were those words, many corpses along the supreme being path!
This was indeed the case. From the past until now, the number of those who tried to rush into the supreme being level wasn’t few, but in the end, ninety-nine percent of those individuals all died.
All those on this path had failed!
s.h.i.+ Hao didn’t complete the supreme being path yet. If he failed, he would also become one of them.
Did the black abyss indicate the end of most of them?
Heaven and earth became quiet, all of the brilliance disappearing. The various sensations faded.
s.h.i.+ Hao paused slightly, and then he continued forward, upright and unafraid. He took that step, directly arriving above the abyss. The path was broken, all of them had to continue on their own.
The supreme being path, this was the final test. With each step, s.h.i.+ Hao dropped a bit, about to enter the endless abyss. What this represented was depravity, destruction!
His figure disappeared, continuously dropping.
s.h.i.+ Hao released all of his potential, withstanding everything. He wanted to jump out, rush into the heavens, but a boundless wave of pressure crushed down on him, wis.h.i.+ng to smash him down into the abyss.
He was moving forward, but also dropping, moreover extremely quickly.
He had no idea how far he had to go forward, nor did he know how far he dropped. It became darker and darker, everything indistinct. Even Heavenly Eyes became ineffective.
Only, at the final moment, s.h.i.+ Hao’s feet seemed to have made contact with something. The moment he lowered his head, a chill ran through his mind; this was the bottom of the abyss. There were corpses everywhere.
There were this many who died on this path before? They were all people who failed!
These weren’t true corpses, but rather things engraved by the great dao. However, they had truly existed before.
s.h.i.+ Hao’s blood was surging, burning. He used all his strength to resist the restriction, oppose the suppression. He rushed upwards, not wis.h.i.+ng to become another member of the corpses.
True Phoenix Undying Method!
Kengqiang noises rang around s.h.i.+ Hao’s body, feathers fluttering about this world. This was the True Phoenix Precious Technique displaying power, releasing death energy, burning the darkness. This place became brightly lit.
He was resisting, wis.h.i.+ng to make it through this dark abyss.
When the death energy completely disappeared, a divine spear flew over from ahead, piercing through the frontal bone with a pu sound, almost piercing through the whole head. This… was too terrifying.
s.h.i.+ Hao’s frontal bone shone, clamping down on this divine spear, and then he pulled it out. This type of trial was a bit strange, too sudden.
Ripples and specks dissolved between his palms and fingers. These were spears made from natural laws, scattering apart.
The supreme being path was too difficult!
After experiencing the mortal h.e.l.lflame, he could only be considered a pseudo supreme being, not completing this path yet. This was now the final test.
s.h.i.+ Hao continued forward, experiencing nine days and nine nights of this torment. During this period, he would face life and death each time, his body almost obliterated many times.
In the most miserable instance, he only had a primordial spirit and some ruined bones left, as well as some drops of blood. However, he still survived in the end.
This… would he be able to make it until the end?
He felt like today’s path might be even more difficult than the path to immortality.
“Why? Why is it so hard for me to become a supreme being? Why is it so hard?!” s.h.i.+ Hao asked himself. He then looked towards the dark skies.
“The dao laws are natural, while you, your desire for growth is too brilliant, not natural.” There seemed to be a mysterious voice that replied to him, sensed by s.h.i.+ Hao.
“I want to achieve the dao!” s.h.i.+ Hao’s gaze was icy-cold, his will resolute.
Hong!
He stepped forward without hesitation, his will firm.
In that instant, the darkness withdrew. He could see the sh.o.r.e on the other side.
s.h.i.+ Hao wanted to climb up, but silently, from the dusky heavens above, there were chains that fell one after another, locking him down, suspending him in front of the cliff, unable to move at all.
“Dao laws unnatural!”
The grand voice rang out here, but also seemed to have sounded from within s.h.i.+ Hao’s heart.
“If a person doesn’t have any thoughts, what dao can he achieve? He should just turn into a rock!” s.h.i.+ Hao shouted.
Hong!
Between heaven and earth, all types of light erupted. Those chains released hualala noises. Tens to over a hundred impaled his body, and then further bound him.
Blood gushed out. s.h.i.+ Hao released a m.u.f.fled groan.
Then, all of the chains began to burn. These were different types of symbols, all of them roasting s.h.i.+ Hao’s body.
The appearance of any one of them could destroy a powerful creature, while now, so many of them immediately appeared at the same time.
“Remnant thoughts, one after another, everyone a thought!” That grand voice sounded again.
When the thoughts were gone, that would be when the dao was achieved, was this it?
Before this, s.h.i.+ Hao already cut off many of his thoughts. However, there were still so many right now?
“The ones severed before were still not enough, I have to turn into a stone before you’re satisfied?” The expression in s.h.i.+ Hao’s eyes became deep.
Hong!
Raging flames surged, all types of symbols erupting, drowning him within. Iron chains penetrated his body one after another, burning him, scorching his body pitch-black, on the verge of collapse.
s.h.i.+ Hao encountered the most terrifying torment.
In the past few days, s.h.i.+ Hao’s muscles and bones had completely been destroyed, burned by symbols, even his primordial spirit becoming dim.
He reforged his body again and again. However, each time he recovered a bit, the flames would become even more intense.
“Instead of this, I might as well just rush into the heavens with ten thousand thoughts!”
s.h.i.+ Hao released a low roar. The past thoughts he had severed all erupted, appearing in his mind. They rushed out from within his body, and then they shone.
Hong!
This place surged intensely, more chains appearing, binding around him, wis.h.i.+ng to burn down his body and spirit.
