Chapter 1920 - The Curtain Drops

In everyone’s eyes, Shi Hao already lived close to ten thousand years, but he was still young. No one knew just how powerful he was, how long he could live.

However, the people at his side were all old. Even when they had their lives extended by Shi Hao when they were five thousand years old, Shi Ziling and his wife, big red bird, and the others, they still entered their late years.

A slight breeze brushed past. On Fiend Island, a divine river flowed, carrying endless curse power, turning this place into a restricted land.

Immortal Tomb floated above Fiend Island. At the source of the long river was an endless curse aura. After ten thousand years passed, this place became increasingly terrifying.

In reality, there was no one on the entire island, no one dared approach it.

Today, Shi Hao came, bringing his parents, bringing Yun Xi and the white cauldron, following the curse river towards the mountainous Immortal Tomb.

Shi Hao’s entire body shone, protecting everyone, not letting anything enter. All things nefarious were warded off, the curse power unable to harm him.

This path was one Shi Hao was extremely familiar with, it was not the first time he came here. He also brought his family here several times, now coming back here again.

On Immortal Tomb, a young lady was still full of youthful vigor, the effects of time not leaving any traces on her face, still the same.

There was another individual at the foot of Immortal Tomb, precisely Shi Hao’s grandfather, Grandpa Fifteen Shi Zhongtian. His hair was jet black, eyes closed, looking even younger than the white-haired Shi Ziling.

“Grandfather, A’man, I came to see you two.” Shi Hao said, looking forward.

There was no need to say too much about Grandpa Fifteen, he loved Shi Hao greatly, fighting for him, unleashing a great slaughter in Stone Country’s capital for him.

A’man treated Shi Hao with great kindness. When he was young, his supreme being bone was seized. When he was at his weakest, if not for A’man’s careful care, he wouldn’t be able to live until today, instead, he would have died a long time ago.

“Child!”

“Little Hao…”

Two divine consciousness fluctuations transmitted over, entering Shi Hao’s heart. These were Grandpa Fifteen and A’man’s voices.

This wasn’t the first time they chatted. As early as two thousand years ago, these two already revived. When Shi Hao came to see them, they conversed with divine will, all of them were extremely moved that year.

“Grandpa, A’man, have you two been well?” Shi Hao called out.

His heart was trembling slightly. He still wasn’t strong enough! If he was strong enough, then these two wouldn’t be here, but would rather follow him out, forever remaining together.

A’man remaining behind was her opportunity. There was a path behind Immortal Tomb. That creature returned, wishing to take A’man as a disciple.

During these years, A’man obtained that creature’s inheritance there, acting in accordance to his needs.

However, according to A’man’s suspicions, this world was too cruel. Even if that individual’s skills were incredible and astonishing, not dying even after crossing over Realm Sea, he still carried worries. He believed that this would definitely be an unprecedented great settling, one of blood and chaos, simply unimaginable.

Even someone as powerful as that person couldn’t ensure he could continue living, wishing to leave behind an inheritance so that his lineage wouldn’t be completely cut short.

The official inheritance didn’t need explanations. A’man was his additional line that he arranged, left behind for the future out of fear that the other inheritances would all be cut short.

Meanwhile, Grandpa Fifteen couldn’t leave A’man here alone, insisting on accompanying her, long seeing her as his own daughter. That person also helped him achieve his aim, sending the blood of the past Demonic Sovereign into his body, helping him refine his body.

Even though there was endless curse power inside this great grave, there was undying matter as well. That was why time didn’t injure them.

“We cannot leave Immortal Tomb, yet now, it is time to head on our way.” Grandpa Fifteen said with a light sigh.

“That expert has already ascended the dam. He crossed the Realm Sea, wishing to bring us there to watch the battle. It is because I am his disciple.” A’man said.

“Father!”

Shi Ziling shouted, his voice shaking. Even though he already came here many times, in the end, they still couldn’t bring away this elder. This left them full of regret.

Right now, when they heard that he was going to Dam World, they became filled with even greater worries, their eyes filled with panic.

“A’man!”

They called out to A’man with a light voice, viewing her as their own daughter, feeling worry of her future. Once she was brought away by that unmatched existence, just what kind of tribulations would she experience in the future?

“Grandfather, A’man, are you two going to stay behind?” Yun Xi carried an expression of worry. She knew that these were two extremely important people in Shi Hao’s life, so she hoped they could stay behind.

“I fear that we cannot. That expert’s will has already descended. The only reason we haven’t left yet is because we wished to see you all once again.”

Shi Hao clenched his fists. He really wanted these two to stay behind.

“Hurry and have the little fella wake up.” Yun Xi reminded Shi Hao.

Shi Hao undid the seal on the white cauldron, bringing out that little fella, waking him up. “Say hello to auntie and grandpa.”

The little fella woke up, a bit absent-minded. He called out with the most tender voice, making everyone here tremble.

“Good, good, good!” Shi Zhongtian was overjoyed, his eyes carrying old tears.

“Little Hao, you have to take care of yourself. You all will definitely survive. After we head to the Dam World, I will pray for blessings over all of you.” A’man said.

“This silly girl has pleaded with her master many times, saying that she will participate in that battle, but begged for him to properly protect her loved ones.” Shi Zhongtian said.

In reality, he also carried similar thoughts when he headed in that direction. He followed behind that unrivaled great figure precisely because he might be able to ask this individual to help him protect those he cared about.

“Grandfather, A’man!” Yun Xi, Shi Ziling and his wife’s voices were all trembling, crying out.

Shi Hao’s voice was sunken. “How can I let you all fight there? Wait for me, one day, I will personally appear on that battlefield, bring all of you back!”

Grandpa Fifteen left, A’man left as well. Immortal Tomb finally became quiet, becoming a dead land!

After Shi Hao returned, he saw the golden lion gazing into the setting sun alone. It was incredibly old, as thin as a match, its golden fur losing all of its radiance, no longer having any of its past divine brilliance.

Shi Hao produced a jar of immortal blood, forcefully extending its life.

“I am different from your loved ones and old friends. They don’t wish to drag you down, not wishing for you to waste your immortal medicine, and that is why they are willing to give up and plead for death. However, I am different, I truly don’t wish to accept it!” The golden lion said.

“Fine then, you can go wherever you wish, I’ll bring you there!” Shi Hao didn’t wish to force it.

“I wish to go to Desolate Border!”

Two days later, the golden lion died, buried by Shi Hao in Desolate Border. This grave buried a past generation’s fierce beast.

When he was about to die, he sat there, his frame not falling, eyes widened, gazing towards where it was previously born.

This was just a small instance of what happened over the years. There were others who left one after another.

It was almost ten thousand years, who could remain undying, who could continue existing?

Dang!

The world exploded, the void blasted through.

The laws of the heavens became chaotic, something major happening.

Shi Hao immediately rose into the sky, hurrying towards the place where all of this was happening.

In the end, he released a light sigh.

Shi Zhong assimilated the dao.

In the end, Shi Zhong couldn’t succeed either, forcefully merging with the Heaven’s Core Imprint. However, in the end, his body collapsed, merging into the great dao.

Not even Shi Hao could stop this type of thing. Cultivation could only be relied on oneself.

One failure, one transformation into the dao, no one could save him.

Peng!

A rain of light covered the heavens. In the end, two of the three Lightning Spirits broke apart, giving their vitality to the third Lightning Spirit, allowing it to succeed. Just like the Heavenly Horned Ant and the others, it merged with a Heaven’s Core Imprint.

The years were ruthless, cutting short the paths of cultivators.

In the eyes of the people of this world, Shi Hao was close to twelve thousand years old. Imperial Court even more so exchanged one generation of people after the next, the old soldiers of the past long passed on.

Shi Hao’s parents’ blood energy dried up, the big red bird’s feathers all already gone. The Green Scaled Eagle Clan couldn’t move anymore either, even the big black turtle’s shell fell off.

The Zhuyan who just wasn’t willing to lose, Hairy Ball, was also in his late years, unable to wield his great staff anymore.

In the past, Shi Hao helped them extend their life, but in the end, they couldn’t break free from their fate, this day still arrived. Their lives reached the limit once again.

Shi Hao had no choice. His true blood was the same as immortal blood, he was unable to prolong their lives with blood medicine, they already developed tolerance towards it.

Yun Xi’s appearance was still the same, looking extremely young, but she didn’t have much time left. She was approaching the end of this life.

“I really don’t want to leave.” Yun Xi’s eyes were red, not because she was clinging to the secular world, but rather to the people in her life.

She looked at Shi Hao, her voice shaking. “You have to take care of yourself, properly continue living, don’t try to be brave!”

Shi Hao stroked her beautiful hair, silently nodding.

“The last world, when I didn’t have much time left, I previously told you to look for the one under the Fire Mulberry Trees, I won’t feel jealous. Being able to remain with you in two lives has left me extremely satisfied, I can already leave with a smile on my face.”

Yun Xi was smiling, but tears still flowed down her eyes. She was unwilling. She gripped Shi Hao’s hands, holding them extremely tightly. She knew that she was going to leave this world in the end.

“The only thing that I cannot feel at ease over is the little fella. He is still so young, not even an adult yet… you have to take good care of him!” Yun Xi sobbed.

She truly felt sentimental, forcefully hugging the white cauldron.

Shi Hao undid the seal, having the little fella wake up, bringing him out.

“Child…” Yun Xi sobbed, holding her child closely.

“Don’t cry… mommy, don’t cry.” The little fella was alarmed, reaching out his little hands, helping Yun Xi wipe her tears.

“My child, mommy doesn’t want to leave you!” Yun Xi sobbed, hugging her child, not willing to let go, wishing to continue like this forever.

“Don’t be sad, just treat it like a long sleep.” Shi Hao consoled.

…

Several days later, a roar of grief resounded through the heavens, shaking up the lower realms’ eight regions!

Shi Hao stood at the front of Stone Village alone, using world shocking methods to seize the essence of heaven and earth, condensing Divine Origin Liquid, sealing up the entire village!

He sealed up everyone.

His parents, Yun Xi, big red bird, Zhuyan Hairy Ball… and the old clan chief, Dazhuang, Ermeng, Qingfeng, Pihou, and the others.

“In the future, when I stand above all ages, I will spend eternity with all of you!” Shi Hao roared out, his voice carrying sorrow.

That day, Stone Village thus disappeared.
