Chapter 1436 - Leaving the Pass Again
Killing immortal? This thing directly rushed at the immortal blood!
Moreover, it was extremely vicious, turning into a streak of sword radiance. It hacked down, as if it was going to eliminate this blood.
However, this bit of blood really was special. It was still ‘alive’, possessing mysterious life force. Even though it was struck, it didn’t burst apart.
Instead, it was Shi Hao’s finger bones that felt intense pain, immediately breaking. This made everyone’s expressions change. This divine radiance was too tyrannical!
Moreover, his severed finger was actually going to break down, the damage not that simple, actually about to turn into powder.
Fortunately, at this time, this strand of immortal blood shone, entering his finger bones, recovering his injuries. Moreover, the broken finger was connected, quickly healed.
This all happened extremely quickly. Dark red radiance flickered about, auspicious multicolored light surged, Shi Hao’s finger immediately becoming just as good as before. Not only were his finger’s bones healed, even his flesh regrew.
“This divine radiance is too terrifying, how is one even supposed to merge with it?” The Lunar Jade Rabbit pursed her small mouth, crying out in alarm.
This was definitely not ordinary, this thing too terrifying. This was only a single strand of essence that seeped out of the immortal killing guillotine, if it was the entire thing, even a True Immortal might be cut down if he came.
For Shi Hao, just this strand of divine radiance alone was already hard to deal with, this thing would make even supreme beings’ eyes red.
“Immortal blood is similarly shocking, if the killing intent wasn’t refined away by the past immortal, removing all of the harmful matter, it would simply be unimaginable.” Great Elder said.
This was the truth. If the immortal blood directly flowed out from the True Immortal’s body, without being processed, then a single drop would be enough to wipe out people on Shi Hao’s level, there wouldn’t be any suspense.
The reason why he could refine it, merge with this drop of blood, was completely because there was only auspicious, beneficial matter left.
Chi!
Divine Radiance reappeared, throwing itself over, still rushing towards the immortal blood.
With a kacha noise, Shi Hao completely crushed the crystal, releasing the complete drop of blood. All of it landed on his left hand’s forefinger, bright red and replete, like a shining blood diamond, looking like condensed multicolored clouds.
Xiu!
This time, that streak of essence unexpectedly rushed into his finger, merging with that immortal blood, continuously hacking about, frantically attacking.
Under ka ka sounds, not only was Shi Hao’s flesh badly mangled, his finger bones cracked apart again, the scene terrifying. This was simply a type of unendurable torment.
Fortunately, there was the immortal blood to immediately recover Shi Hao’s wounded body, instantly heal his finger, all of the damaged parts closing.
Just like that, the divine radiance was like a streak of rainbow light, continuously rushing in and out, crushing Shi Hao’s finger, and then that finger would regenerate again and again, hard for others to look at.
“Even the roots of my teeth are becoming sore from watching this!”
“My scalp is becoming numb!”
“There are goosebumps covering my entire body!”
These were Cao Yusheng, Heavenly Horned Ant, and Lunar Jade Rabbit’s evaluations. They had never seen such suffering during cultivation. His finger was continuously crushed and then regenerated.
Shi Hao’s finger was refined again and again. His bone marrow, flesh and blood, and even bones, were continuously crushed, and then recreated again and again.
Eventually, his finger glistened with radiance, like the finger of an immortal, too extraordinary. During this period of time, that radiance continuously hacked at that immortal blood, repeatedly mixing together. This divine radiance was originally dark red, now even more striking, as if it had been soaked in blood.
Eventually, Shi Hao could already no longer feel pain, because it was already numb. However, that terrifying torment was still continuing.
“Still not enough… if this continues, I still won’t be able to refine this streak of divine radiance.” Shi Hao frowned.
If not for having this drop of immortal blood, his left hand would have long been destroyed, impossible to preserve. That streak of essence was too terrifying, nothing it couldn’t destroy.
He cultivated the Imperishable Scripture, his body far tougher than those of others in his generation, yet it was still easily torn through. This wasn’t because he wasn’t strong enough, but rather because the divine radiance was too extraordinary.
“Worthy of being the immortal killing guillotine’s essence, able to cut anything. Really is extraordinary, an invaluable supreme treasure!”
Shi Hao had a headache. If this continued, he would be tormenting himself for no reason. He couldn’t do anything.
The main reason was because his current cultivation realm was too low, while this streak of essence was too high level, not belonging to the mortal realm!
In reality, his status in the mortal realm was already high enough, just that comparatively speaking, when faced with this non mortal thing, he was still not powerful enough.
Hong!
Finally, Great Elder took action, suppressing it with his matchless magical force, giving Shi Hao time, some breathing room to think of a way.
“Lightning Pool, refine for me!” Shi Hao shouted.
In the end, he could only use lightning, after all, the divine radiance was obtained from heavenly tribulation, so it should be intimate with lightning.
The space between his brows shone, a small lightning pool appearing by his finger, collecting that streak of light inside, carrying out a refinement.
However, soon afterwards, that streak of light pierced through the lightning pool, flying out. There was no way it would be destroyed, still tangling about his forefinger, attacking that immortal blood.
“Yi, it is gradually calming down.” Great Elder cried out in alarm.
It was because after a long time had passed, this streak of essence merged with that scarlet red blood droplet. The two interwove, turning into one entity, no longer separating.
“It is absorbing the essence of immortal blood!” Great Elder said with a sunken voice.
Shi Hao tried to stop it, but it was still useless. The immortal blood also seemed to be absorbing this divine radiance, the two devouring each other, continuously mixing together, turning into one body.
Of course, in the end, it was still the divine radiance that was in the lead, possessing a great offensive nature.
It finally became peaceful. The drop of blood stored the streak of divine radiance, merging with Shi Hao’s forefinger.
During this process, Shi Hao’s left hand’s forefinger was destroyed who knew how many times. Now, it was sparkling and shining, dazzling and resplendent, relying on the immortal blood to recover.
As a result, now, it became one with his forefinger.
Shi Hao entered seclusion. After verifying that he successfully collected this streak of divine radiance into his left hand’s forefinger, in the following few weeks, he continuously nurtured it, and then refined it, turning it into a part of himself.
Meanwhile, during this half month, Great Elder didn’t leave, using his matchless magical force to help him refine it. In the end, that drop of immortal blood and the divine radiance broke down, turning into mysterious patterns, strand after strand entering every inch of his forefinger and its bones.
“My entire body’s blood and bones, if I transform it all into this state, what would I even be scared of?” Shi Hao said to himself.
This was a type of transformation. He flicked his finger lightly, the power produced able to easily shatter powerful precious artifacts, completely effortless.
Moreover, when he used all his strength, exhausting magical force, he could even fire a streak of dark red divine radiance from his forefinger. It destroyed everything, unstoppable, nothing able to withstand its power.
“With this finger as the starting point, I am going to make my limbs transform. At that time, my strength will increase greatly!”
He believed that at that time, his limbs would be heaven reaching, able to dominate the entire world, display the most powerful strength.
Shi Hao secluded himself for another two months, consolidating everything. In the end, when he was sure there were no more deficiencies, only then did he leave the pass. The divine radiance and immortal blood were indistinguishable with his left hand’s forefinger, completely becoming one.
To be more precise, Shi Hao’s forefinger seemed to have undergone a rebirth after this, a transformation.
“Time to leave the pass!”
Finally, Shi Hao left the pass. He was going to break into the Self Severing Realm, but not here, instead wishing to leave the pass, bathe in the blood of enemies, advance in the most intense battles.
Of course, he also wanted to enter the legendary secret lands, search for great opportunities.
For example, the Divine Medicine Mountain Range, Heavenly Beast Forest, Sea of Loss, ancient immortal lands, even the most mysterious regions for the other side, the ancient burial regions.
Shi Hao didn’t bid his old friends goodbye, directly leaving. He was going to leave the pass again, this time, he won’t return without any returns!
“Divine Medicine Mountain Range, Heavenly Beast Forest, those two places surround a strange ancient land. I should walk around that area too.” Shi Hao said to himself. Tuogu Yulong obtained that beast skin map, even attracting someone from the restricted region because of it, so Shi Hao was naturally interested as well.
This time, he was extremely low-profile, not disturbing anyone. He found a day to set out, and then followed the main troops out.
Now, every half a month or so, there would always be a great battle outside the pass.
The foreign creatures wanted to invade, while the powerful beings in Imperial Pass wanted to train their men, allowing them to directly experience the terrors of the enemy, as well as the cruelty of war. This was so that one day, when something unexpected happened in Imperial Pass, hopefully, there will be an iron-blooded army, and not flowers grown in greenhouses.
Even though he already left the pass once, Shi Hao was still dazzled by the vast battlefield, the endless desert, countless dried bones. The desert itself was even dyed a blood color.
When gazing from the distance, corpses could be seen one after another. They were everywhere, shouts of war shaking the skies.
This time, they split into two groups. The people who came earlier had already fought for most of the day, leaving behind many skeletal remains, the sight too horrible to endure.
“En, Wang Family’s five dragons also came, fighting here?!” Shi Hao was shocked. He saw Wang Family’s war banner from the distance, fluttering about in the wind, towering without falling.
Soon afterwards, he learned that this was their punishment, requiring the five dragons to kill a certain amount of experts at their level, or else they still had to pay the price.
Everything was because this clan tried to harm Shi Hao in Imperial Pass, violating the law that couldn’t be defied, so they had to give an explanation.
In the battlefield, Shi Hao watched from the distance. Only when Wang Family’s five dragons dragged back some terrifying creatures’ corpses, returning to Imperial Pass, did he set out.
They were the second group of people, it was their turn to enter the battlefield.
“Wang Family’s five dragons really are formidable. Just now, they killed King Clan top level experts!” The people were discussing amongst themselves, extremely shocked.
Even though he didn’t feel the slightest good intention towards Wang Family’s five dragons, Shi Hao understood well that they were definitely strong, incomparably terrifying.
“I’ll fight a battle here, and then I’ll head to the Divine Medicine Mountain Range, temporarily not returning to Imperial Pass.” Shi Hao said to himself.
Right at this time, a great roar sounded from ahead. “Has Huang come? Let him crawl over, I will suppress him with a single hand! Daring to kill my side’s King Xlans, he is going to die under my hands without a proper burial!”
“They’re doing this again, every time we come out to fight, there are always people challenging Huang. I heard that the foreign side’s younger generation’s ten great experts pretty much all appeared. However, what a pity, Huang never left the pass each time.”
“Are there Emperor Clans who came?” Shi Hao asked.
“There are. I heard that they previously came to the battlefield, killing all opponents, no one able to match them!” Someone replied.
“That scene was too terrifying, he was like a slaughtering machine, lacking all emotion. Wherever he went, corpses piled up like mountains, blood flowing like rivers, no one able to stop him!” From the side, someone said with a pale expression.
“What cultivation realm was he at?” Shi Hao asked.
“Self Severing Realm, but he killed Self Release Realm great knights, moreover not just one. It was as if no one could match him under the heavens!” Someone else replied with a sunken voice.
“Was it Anlan’s descendant or Shutuo’s descendant? Or was it an Emperor Clan youngster from a different ancient land?” Shi Hao asked.
