Chapter 1973 - Pressure

“Three swords into one, sever all methods!” The nine-headed monster opened its mouth and shouted out, displaying divine abilities. Heaven and earth order was stirred up, even the long river of time about to be severed.

Three swords appeared at the same time, standing side by side, the sword tips pointing at Shi Hao. One person produced three swords, and then three pointed to all things. Endless sword radiance erupted, hacking towards Shi Hao.

Chaos Calming Art, Grass Symbol Sword Art, Immortal Tribulation Sword Art, these so-called three great sword extremes were actually released together today, leaving the hands of one person.

Its power was unimaginable, directly eradicating the world, cutting apart all immortals and devils in this world, obliterating everything!

The three great sword arts combined into one, directly displayed like this. It truly was unstoppable, gods and buddhas destroyed alike. Throughout endless time, it could be considered a world shocking battle.

Shi Hao faced this attack, his expression serious.

Hong!

When he reached out his hand, time fragments flew about. His six great secret realms respectively condensed laws, becoming a bell body. With a light 

dang

 sound, the sound waves rippled through the world.

This was the secret method Shi Hao comprehended after he killed the Time Beast Scarlet King, suppressing him in the lightning dao law pool, and then spent tens of thousands of years researching him.

Around Shi Hao’s body, ripples surged, releasing resplendent radiance. Symbols erupted and then they condensed into a bell, its defensive force incomparable. This was the power of time. Time fragments appeared around his body, blocking the three great sword arts.

Dang!

This bell shook intensely, hacked at until it began to sway back and forth. The ripples that were released shattered time and space, even the bell body cracked apart and then exploded, unable to stop the three sword cores.

“Kill!” The nine-headed monster shouted.

Three great sword arts appeared at the same time, shocking heaven and earth, completely unstoppable.

Shi Hao released a cold snort. Even though he admitted that these three great sword arts formed an extreme killing method, this didn’t mean that he didn’t have any way of dealing with them. At this time, his six great secret realms shone at the same time, the irregular scenes that appeared heaven shocking.

There were golden great dao divine lotuses that filled the heavens, appearing together and producing lotus flowers. The instant these golden flowers bloomed, they cut apart the sky, blocking the endless sword radiance.

Copies of himself appeared one after another, becoming tangible figures, seated on the lotus flowers. Their appearances were dignified, sutras chanted from their mouths, hands forming law imprints, striking forward.

This was an unrivaled strike!

This was the release of all of Shi Hao’s essence energy, magical force, dao skills and other things, the power endless.

“Die!”

The nine-headed monster’s expression changed. The other eight heads also moved at the same time, each displaying unmatched secret methods. A head turned into a black dragon, severing the sky dome, another head spitting out brilliance, turning into a Taotie, devouring all things, sweeping through all life, another creature…

All types of secret methods and different divine abilities erupted at this time!

This monster had previously devoured more than one expert. They were all merged together, strange and terrifying, right now doing everything they could to destroy Shi Hao.

This was a battle against giants, the greatest battle!

The irregular scenes Shi Hao produced merged with his essence energy, magical force and dao skills. For him, this was also a type of test. If he couldn’t kill the enemy and was overwhelmed instead, then there would be great danger.

Right now, both sides released all of their power, pushing their strength to the limit.

“Kill!”

Shi Hao released a great roar. Among his six great secret realms, the final secret realm actually became like heaven burning flames. That flame above Shi Hao’s head began to surge. That little figure suddenly moved. It supported a sword core, tearing through the restrictions of time and space, as if it stood outside the world, hacking out fiercely.

The little figure carried the Everlasting Sword Core, suddenly releasing a vicious blow just like that.

It didn’t seem to belong to this world, disregarding the shackles of time and space, just too fast. It tore through realm walls, quickly arriving.

If one looked carefully, time seemed to be flowing in reverse, as if everything was going against the grain.

Pu!

There was nothing the Everlasting Immortal Sword couldn’t cut through. It cleaved open heaven and earth, hacked through the endless radiance produced by the resonance of three great sword arts, shattered the precious techniques that followed, cutting into the nine-headed monster.

Blood radiance flew out. Under this world shocking strike, the nine-headed creature released a muffled groan, its body flying out. Its nine heads were almost completely severed.

With a 

hong

 noise, it fiercely brandished its fists, releasing fist techniques, among them World Eradication Fist, True Dragon Claw… the scene was terrifying.

Dang!

Sparks flew in all directions. The Everlasting Sword Core’s final attack was stopped. That shining little figure was shaken, having no choice but to quickly return with the sword core.

“Good, good, good!”

That nine-headed monster said coldly. It was feeling shock and anger towards the attack Shi Hao suddenly released, but was also in a bit of admiration. It was actually almost hacked apart by Shi Hao.

These types of methods exceeded other immortal kings, making it sense the threat of death just now. Its primordial spirit was almost hacked off by someone!

Shi Hao’s breathing was rushed, his chest rising and falling intensely. His consumption just now was too great. If it was anyone else, their flesh would have been cut off by him, even their primordial spirit would be torn off.

He never expected this nine-headed monster to be this powerful!

Even Number Two Under Heaven, Golden Fur Hou and the others were shocked, feeling like they encountered an unmatched old monster. No wonder it remained here, no one daring to anger it.

Honglong!

In Shi Hao’s surroundings, golden great dao lotus flowers bloomed, accompanied by the great river of time. It was as if they were irrigating the divine lotuses, making them even more resplendent.

However, there were no figures of Shi Hao on the lotus flowers. There was only an indistinct magical projection seated high up above!

Not long ago, his essence blood, dao skills and other things had all taken form, merging together with the lotus flowers, the destructive power great. However, this was also extremely taxing on his own body.

Now, these pure irregular scenes could resist the enemy, but they didn’t exhaust as much of his strength.

“Again!”

The nine-headed monster screamed out, throwing itself over.

A world shocking great battle began, this place was drowned out by natural laws, surrounded by time fragments. Then, all types of weapons flew, all of them immortal king weapons.

Dang!

Scarlet King’s time bell, Aocheng’s sword wings, Taishi’s heavenly spear and all types of other magical artifacts were brought out by Shi Hao.

This was the most bitter great battle Shi Hao had ever experienced, the first great battle after becoming an immortal king. This person was even more formidable than the foreign realm’s Kun Di, an ancient giant.

Kun Di was the current number one expert in the foreign realm. If the creatures in Realm Sea didn’t return, then he was unmatched.

However now, there was actually this type of freak in the depths of Immortal Domain, fighting evenly against Shi Hao. Both sides coughed out blood.

The monster released a roar, its primordial spirit releasing auspicious brilliance. Creatures walked out from between its brows one after another, these were the ancient experts it devoured, now taking form and emerging.

As for Shi Hao, he used the Embodiment Transformation Great Method, using this to support himself.

Hong!

In the end, both sides once again coughed out large mouthfuls of blood, their primordial spirits as if burning.

This battle shocked the world under the sky, the immortal kings from all sides paying attention.

Pu!

When Shi Hao’s methods were all used up, in the end, he held the sword core, staggering as he walked forward, continuously hacking off two of the other side’s heads, tearing apart two great primordial spirits.

“Stop!”

The monster shouted. It detonated a primordial spirit, cutting off heaven and earth. Great dao symbols erupted. It quickly moved back, increasing the distance between Shi Hao and itself.

They fought for several thousand exchanges in this battle, both of them using all of their methods before there was this scene.

In the end, the monster was a hair inferior, this couldn’t help but leave it shocked. It wasn’t a single creature, but rather the culmination of nine great extreme experts!

There was no lack of giants among these individuals!

However, it was this incomparably powerful identity that was still defeated.

It could be said that he was the most powerful enemy Shi Hao encountered after all of these years.

“Is there anything else you want to say?” Shi Hao asked, wiping off the blood from the corners of his lips.

Inside the ancient palace, several creatures rushed out, all of them releasing terrifying auras. These were all immortal kings.

Chi!

Darkness Willow Deity walked up, releasing great might, blocking in front. At the same time, the Heavenly Horned Ant, Golden Fur Hou, Ecliptic Immortal Gold Daoist and the others all moved, rushing over.

“Let’s back off.” The nine-headed monster said, not having the people at his side take action.

“I admit that you are powerful enough. How about we just stop things here? Tell me why you came here, I am willing to cooperate.” The nine-headed monster admitted defeat.

“Just what kind of creature are you all, what kind of background do you have? How did you break free?” Shi Hao calmly asked.

The nine-headed monster seemed quite honest, not hiding much, continuously saying several types of identities. They were all merged primordial spirits. Coin Elder and Bird Grandpa were both stunned.

It was because those statuses were all history’s most brilliant experts, all of them heaven warping immortal kings who dominated their eras, no lack of glorious giants among them.

These statuses were too terrifying!

“The reason why we could break free isn’t because we are unmatched, but because Darkness Prison caved in, suffering damage mysteriously. Then, we discovered that this Guidance Ancient Palace fell.”

These words made it hard for even Shi Hao to calm down.

Not even someone as powerful as this nine-headed monster could slaughter his way out himself, needing to instead rely on this unintentional method? He could only release a sigh.

These experts returned, living yet not living, ghosts yet not ghosts. The most important thing was that they devoured each other, now becoming indistinguishable, becoming monsters who didn’t wish to get involved in worldly affairs.

They wanted to remain uninvolved.

“What pure lands are left in this world? This chaos is not something you can avoid just because you want to.” Shi Hao didn’t approve of this.

“We are also aware of this, but after being locked in Darkness Prison for so long, all of our past great ambitions and confidence have been scattered. Even if our strength is great, exceeding the past, we still feel like we cannot match the enemy.” The nine-headed monster said with a sigh.

He seemed to have a type of defeated feeling, saying it like this. Moreover, he stated that even though Shi Hao was strong, in the end, everything would still become nothing, that he still wasn’t enough.

It was because both the Darkness Prison and Guidance Ancient Palace were only a type of law and order that appeared, suppressing them. The true creatures hadn’t appeared yet!

They strongly suspected that at the limits of Realm Sea, in the very depths of the Land of Darkness, there might truly be an emperor!

“I am wondering if the reason why whenever an Imperial Court appears in Immortal Domain, it will suffer misfortune and a tragic ending, is because the Land of Darkness views this as their mission…”

The nine-headed monster actually made this speculation.

Shi Hao frowned, not saying too much. Only after some time did he ask, “Are Immortal Wang, Immortal Mu and Qin Hao here?”

“They are!”

A long time afterwards, Qin Hao appeared. He was extremely quiet, his skin rough, just too different compared to his previous handsome and delicate appearance, instead having a type of rough temperament.

It was clear that he didn’t spend his time in a greenhouse these past few years, he definitely experienced many things.

“Big brother!”

He cried out. When he saw Shi Hao, he couldn’t calm down anymore, tears appearing in his eyes, rushing over.

He didn’t hear about Shi Hao’s matters in this kind of secluded place at all, completely unaware regarding his revival. Now, all types of feelings surged in his heart, making him feel incredibly happy.

This was especially when he learned that Shi Hao slaughtered his way over and defeated the ancient palace’s master, he felt even more shock and excitement.

“I finally understand why they didn’t kill me. It seems like they definitely heard of brother’s reputation, so that was why after removing my bone, they let me live.” Qin Hao said with a sigh.

“Where is Immortal Wang?” After Shi Hao consoled Qin Hao, he suddenly turned around, looking towards the nine-headed creature.

“He isn’t here anymore, always wandering about outside, helping me search for my past blood and bones.” The nine-headed creature said.

However, Shi Hao didn’t believe him too much, just feeling like he was dishonest. A vicious gaze swept over. However, the other party remained calm, not expressing anything else.

“Let’s leave for now.” Darkness Willow Deity said.

It looked at Guidance Ancient Palace, not willing to stay here for too long.

Shi Hao nodded. He brought Qin Hao with him and left. He naturally didn’t completely trust this nine-headed monster, but it didn’t seem like a good idea to continue fighting. It was because he himself also suffered serious injuries.

After achieving immortal king status, this was the first time he was wounded to this extent.

“Back then, one of the founders of Immortal Domain’s cultivation system previously struck down a Guidance Ancient Palace, but in the end didn’t meet a good end either.” The Ecliptic Immortal Gold Daoist said, revealing some secret information.

In reality, Shi Hao had already heard about this a long time ago. That unmatched immortal king’s descendant who was previously sealed in the lower realm, residing on the World Tree, spoke about these things with Shi Hao.

Did that nine-headed monster knock down that Guidance Ancient Palace, or did he truly escape due to unexpected events?

“Don’t tell me that fella was purposely released by the Land of Darkness? Perhaps he has already completely fallen into darkness.” Number Two Under Heaven said.

“There is no need to try and figure this out right now.” Shi Hao said. It was useless to say so much right now, only by becoming stronger would there be any use.

He sensed a wave of pressure. He was only fighting with one individual, yet was already seriously injured. Moreover, in order to take the other party’s life, he might have to pay the price of half his own life.

This was definitely not good enough. Now that chaos was ravaging all sides, he needed absolute strength to subdue all enemies.

Shi Hao began to think about the path of breaking through the immortal king level!

“Do not act recklessly. From past until now, all those who walked on this path have died, not a single exception to this. There are even those who have said that this world doesn’t have an emperor path, immortal kings already the end.” The Ecliptic Immortal Gold Daoist said, telling him not to act rashly.

“If there are no paths, I will forge a new one.” Shi Hao said.

Those who could reach this step were all the leading figures of their respective times. Those who became giants were all the unmatched overlords of their respective great eras.

Among giants, how much of a difference could there be? They all had unmatched talent.

Shi Hao was powerful enough and now, he defeated Kun Di and the nine-headed monster one after the other, but it was hard for him to prevail against the joint power of many of these experts.

That was why he felt a sense of urgency.

The outside world erupted into commotion. Huang actually entered the depths of Immortal Domain, able to calmly return after fighting a world shocking battle! This left many people stunned.

“He defeated the creature there!”

“To do this at such an age, are the heavens going to be defied?”

…

In the end, Shi Hao stepped on the king shattering emperor path!

“The great decisive battles are going to arrive, everything at the limits of Realm Sea is going to be unveiled. I cannot join the battle the way I am right now, I need to become stronger, to the point where I can suppress all enemies!”

It was because there were some scenes that he could already imagine. Shi Hao clearly understood that once the great battle erupted, there might be some giants who slaughtered their way over together.

It was to the extent where there were groups of undying kings and fallen immortal kings who would join hands to try and kill him.

At that time, the heavens would collapse and the earth would rupture. Even Immortal Domain might be destroyed, let alone those at his side.

At the same time, what made him feel the greatest restraining fear was that if a true unmatched creature walked out from the Land of Darkness, then what was he supposed to do? How was he supposed to face it?
