Chapter 1926 - Piercing the Heavens

Scarlet King was an undying king known for his viciousness. Regardless of whether it was in the foreign realm or the Nine Heavens, he could be considered an unrivaled expert, there was no need to doubt his strength!

Daring to refine an immortal king during a decisive battle, using him to help himself, there was only a single person capable of this!

It was rumored that he was waiting for a chance to devour all of the dao fruits of that immortal king he refined in the Scarlet King Furnace, his plans not as simple as just seizing his vitality.

This was a terrifying existence who was incredibly bold, he wanted to break through the Immortal King Realm. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sunk into his current predicament.

It was because the reason why he was half living half dying was because he was waiting for a chance to be reborn, gain new life. He wanted to break through his past shackles, establish a brand new glorious age!

He wanted to break through the level of king and rise up above!

The Scarlet King Clan occupied an extremely vast amount of space.

Along the way, Shi Hao saw more than a single giant city. They were all extremely vigorous, some even larger than Imperial Pass, built from star remains.

There were some cities made of metal that floated in the skies above. They were surrounded in chaotic energy, suppressing this ancient land, preventing undying energy from leaking out, at the same time gathering the heaven and earth essence from all directions.

Shi Hao continued forward, arriving at this clan’s ancestral land.

This place was too peaceful. There was no giant city, no unmatched cave dwelling, only a small city built against a mountain. If not for the rich undying energy here, it would be hard to imagine this to be Scarlet King’s place of seclusion.

A great era even already passed, yet there was still no sign of him, no activity.

Even this clan themselves wondered if Scarlet King could still appear in this world.

If it was a normal person, they definitely wouldn’t be able to reach this place. However, Shi Hao was too strong, passing through many dangerous places, also avoiding the areas where undying beings patrolled, slowly approaching Scarlet King’s place of seclusion.

There was an even greater reason for his successful advance. After a great era passed, there was still no one who saw Scarlet King appear, not even a bit of activity, so even this clan themselves became numb!

This place had never changed for such a long time, the same year in and year out. It was like this for an entire great era, so everyone became a bit complacent, long becoming lazy in their patrolling.

However, this small earthen city was still a restricted area. Normally speaking, not even the clan’s direct descendants were allowed to step foot in here, they weren’t allowed to disturb Scarlet King’s cultivation.

In this place, there were only a few followers that were in charge of this place’s maintenance.

There were a few figures scattered about at the city gate entrance, in charge of guarding this place. Those people weren’t all that vigilant, extremely lazy.

It was because guarding this place was just dry and dull. They faced this restricted region all day, yet they didn’t dare make any loud noises, only able to doze off, sit here and pass their time.

Shi Hao entered the city, sneaking inside, heading towards the most ancient and grand manor. Inside a low stone mountain, there was a tall courtyard wall surrounding that place, endless undying energy swirling around it.

It was rumored that Scarlet King was cultivating in seclusion precisely by the earth cave that stone mountain suppressed!

After he came here, Shi Hao became careful. After all, the other party was an undying king. Even though he was in a feigned dead state, he was most likely still extremely dangerous.

However, he really didn’t want to let this chance go. If he could kill Scarlet King, then that would really be a great achievement, a great event that would shock endless time!

Undying kings were just too difficult to kill, any one of them able to move heaven and earth, destroy realms, their power unmatched, truly unrivaled in this world, their vicious might unequalled!

A single undying king was enough to wipe out all the creatures in the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, their destructive force was just too great!

In front of the manor, a creature was currently lazily basking under the sun, as lazy as lazy could be. It rested there, not even wanting to move.

It already saw Shi Hao, a look of shock appearing on its face. It opened its mouth, wishing to ask him something, but in the end, it didn’t move at all, only staring at him with a strange expression.

Shi Hao didn’t reveal his true body, his body was indistinct. He walked here, releasing supreme being aura, hiding his true cultivation.

Since he appeared, he naturally wanted to capture this creature, find out this place’s secrets. During this process, he already produced several formation banners, sealing up this region.

Time Beast?

Shi Hao’s mind jumped. This was the original body of the Scarlet King bloodline, this clan’s direct descendant. However, he didn’t sense any undying aura from the other party’s body.

He believed that just a single move was enough to destroy the other party!

Shi Hao pressed forward, staring at this Time Beast.

It was entirely scarlet red. It had the head of a flood dragon and the body of a lion, yet its body wasn’t covered in fur or scales, but rather scarlet bone spurs. They were tough, flickering with ice-cold brilliance.

This was one of history’s most terrifying clans!

Time Beast, they grasped time, completely unstoppable! From the past until now, there weren’t many special methods of dealing with them. They were regarded as an undefeated clan!

Being looked down at by an unfamiliar cultivator made the Time Beast’s expression go cold, a faint pressure was released from its body. It coldly asked, “Who are you?”

“A solo cultivator. I heard Scarlet King was cultivating in seclusion here, so I came in search of treasure.” Shi Hao’s eyes flickered with radiance.

“Unbridled! How can this be a place you can approach?” The Time Beast’s face sunk.

“Just an abandoned land, Scarlet King most likely died countless years ago, your Time Beast clan already falling off the divine altar. It’s not as if my clan doesn’t have an undying king, so how can my visit today be considered anything major.” Shi Hao wasn’t in a rush at all, speaking nonsense in a deadly earnest manner.

“Scarlet King’s place of seclusion, is it really a place you dare randomly enter? Even if you have an unmatched being behind you, he still has to come with his head lowered, admit his crimes, unable to protect you. Just follow me back to the clan to accept death! I’ll give you a chance to die a bit easier.” The Time Beast said coldly.

Its cultivation didn’t seem to be that great, but it had a type of arrogance, making one feel as if they were far superior, looking at Shi Hao with an attitude of looking down on a mortal.

“If Scarlet King came here and said these things, then it is still acceptable. However, even you dare point fingers and pass judgment on everything, order the world?” Shi Hao said in mockery.

Then, he moved forward, reaching out a large hand. It was faint golden in color, directly seizing that scarlet ancient beast.

Chi!

The Time Beast was too shocked. Time fragments fluttered about. Even though its cultivation still wasn’t that profound, it avoided Shi Hao’s attack.

This left him shocked!

What cultivation level was he currently at? He already achieved immortality in the mortal world, a creature whose cultivation realm was even lower than his own could actually evade this strike! This really wasn’t a simple matter.

The most shocking thing was that this Time Beast broke through all the shackles of the formations he applied, directly rushing towards the stone mountain in the manor!

Shi Hao was alarmed, thinking that this was bad. He was careless by not using immortal force. If this Time Beast escaped the region this formation sealed down, then everything would be exposed.

Chi!

He didn’t feel any restraining fear, opening his mouth and spitting out a streak of sword light. A resplendent stellar stream shone resplendently, immortal energy surging, drawing out a world shocking trajectory, tearing apart the void, hacking forward.

Pu!

Blood radiance splashed out. Shi Hao used his own great magical force, spurring on his innate origin essence, creating an unmatched immortal sword, hacking off half of the Time Beast’s body.

“

Ao…

” The Time Beast was furious, releasing a low roar. Its body distorted, time swirling about, time itself turning into tangible matter, wrapping around it. It leapt out of the formation, entering the stone mountain.

It then disappeared in the blink of an eye!

This was extremely strange. The Time Beast’s cultivation still wasn’t sufficient, not entering the undying domain, yet it could escape. This even made Shi Hao reveal an expression of shock.

Shua!

He picked up that half of the body from the ground, storing it away to research time natural laws later. Of course, in the end, he would definitely roast and eat it.

It wasn’t the first time he did this type of thing, in the past, he had killed Scarlet King’s descendant Chi Menghong.

Hong!

That stone mountain trembled, releasing hazy chaotic energy. It was just too rich, undying energy was surging crazily, that place shaking intensely.

Shi Hao’s expression changed. He really wanted to slaughter his way over, but he knew that he had already alarmed this place. Even if Scarlet King was half alive and half dead, once he was startled, he likely couldn’t kill him anymore.

This was the Time Beast’s ancestral land, all types of formations were laid here. There was a sea of experts from this clan outside, once they all acted out, there would definitely be powerful individuals from other clans that would come in assistance.

Shi Hao frowned. He left, moving quickly. Sure enough, a terrifying aura surged behind him, a fiery red undying furnace appearing in the skies, rising and falling there.

That was the Scarlet King Furnace, shaking past and present. It was precisely this artifact that had suppressed and killed an immortal king, moreover later on sealed him inside and refined him!

Right now, with a light shake, a few great stars fell down, smashing into the mountains and rivers!

Then, two gray clad individuals appeared, their bodies shriveled, standing in the skies. With just a single breath from them, many stars were swallowed, refined into essence energy, entering their bodies.

These were two old servants of Scarlet King, cultivating in seclusion with him. After endless years, they had always remained asleep, but now, they were alarmed, appearing in this world!

With a single step from Shi Hao, the sun and moon swirled about. He crossed an endless amount of distance, transferring immortal dao power, leaving the Time Beast Clan’s ancient land.

If not because he already achieved immortality, there was no way for him to immediately leave this place, he would be suppressed by the great furnace behind him, even more so discovered by the two old servants!

“I have to move quickly, bring back Huo Ling’er to the three thousand provinces first.” Shi Hao frowned. Otherwise, there would likely be unforeseen changes that might make it hard for him to leave.

He inwardly rejoiced that he acted a bit more carefully, saying he was from another undying family. Otherwise, he would have directly exposed himself.

Despite this being the case, not long afterwards, there might still be some traces revealed.

It was because that Time Beast really was too extraordinary, actually startling the reborn Scarlet King, making him activate the Scarlet King Furnace. This was extremely shocking!

“If it wasn’t because its cultivation was insufficient, I really would have thought that it was Scarlet King himself!” Shi Hao said to himself.

He quickly left into the distance, entering the vast foreign great land, continuously going deeper. He wanted to investigate where the past Sin Province was now!

If he wanted to find Huo Ling’er, he naturally had to head to Sin Province.

When he thought back to the past, Shi Hao began to sigh with emotion. In the past, he came as a prisoner, his life and death decided by a thought from the other party. Now, he took the initiative to slaughter his way over.

Not long afterwards, Shi Hao learned exactly where Sin Province was.

This wasn’t some secret. Back then, Undying King Anlan went crazy. When the two realms ultimately became isolated, he paid a great price to reach out a sky covering great hand, crushing Imperial Pass’ walls, entering the three thousand provinces and seizing Sin Province.

Now, Sin Province was in the central region. This region was extremely terrifying, having several undying kings overseeing it!

Included among them were Undying King Anlan, Undying King Shutuo, as well as the terrifyingly old Undying King Wushuang. They had already experienced many great eras!

Shi Hao was always wondering just what there was beneath Sin Province, what the other side was looking for, if they got what they wanted.

When he approached Sin Province, the entire other side produced shocking changes, raising heaven overflowing great waves that far exceeded his imagination.

Scarlet King’s bloodline went crazy, a countless great army was surging, wishing to challenge all clans!

The Emperor Clans all received warnings and summons, demanding the examination of their clans’ outstanding geniuses and experts, wishing to give Scarlet King’s bloodline an explanation.

What explanation? The clans were all a bit stunned!

For the Time Beast Clan to be this angry, crazily threatening all clans, not hesitating to start a war, there was definitely something huge that happened.

What was it that could make an Emperor Clan become like this? Nobody could figure it out!

Could it be that the Scarlet King Furnace was lost? This was impossible!

“Which experts have left their clans during this period, not in their clans? Which geniuses are normally reckless? Hurry and report all of this!”

Scarlet King bloodline’s undying beings were furious, threatening all clans, demanding they immediately tell them this information.

Only two days later did Shi Hao find out such a huge event took place in this foreign realm, such a huge thing happened, while the instigator of all of this was him!

“Didn’t I just chop up a Time Beast? There is no reason for Scarlet King’s bloodline to be this furious, this crazy, right? They actually threatened all the great clans, ready to even go to war?” Shi Hao was confused.

He began to suspect if that Time Beast was Scarlet King’s own child.

“This type of thing might make sense if I cut up Scarlet King, but that’s not realistic at all! Scarlet King isn’t that weak. I really failed due to a lack of a final effort!” Shi Hao said with a sigh.

He was regretful that he couldn’t charge straight in, letting that damned Time Beast ruin everything!

“It really is regretful! I really wanted to kill that Scarlet King!”
