Perfect World - Chapter 647

Chapter 647: Chapter 647 Shi Hao Devil King Chapter 647: Chapter 647 Shi Hao Devil King “Senior, we are weak, please spare us.” A cultivator said, giving a deep bow with sincerity on his face, pleading with the people of the Fire Demon Palace not to coerce them.

“This is a great opportunity, do you not want to seize it?” A person who ignited divine flames commented blandly.

“We believe we do not have such fortune,” another cautiously spoke, lowering his stance, his voice barely audible.

“As cultivators, we should strive in adversity!

If you shy away from danger, what achievements can you expect in the future?” The divine-level expert darkened his face as he spoke.

Dozens of people remained silent, but in their hearts, they cursed vehemently.

This old fellow himself doesn’t dare to lead the way, using everyone else to scout ahead, and yet he has the face to say this?

However, the situation dictated that might makes right!

“Prepare yourselves and then explore the secret realm; together we will uncover a huge secret,” the divine-level expert declared, flinging his sleeves as if delivering the final ultimatum.

The people of the Fire Demon Palace all had cold expressions; many held great bows, each with flaming red hair flowing and eyes filled with murderous intent, ready to shoot arrows at any moment.

The numbers on both sides were similar, yet the Scarlet-Feathered Cranes had four formidable experts stationed.

In this manner, a group of cultivators was forced to move forward, crossing over some broken ancient arrays, approaching the dazzling Golden Mountain, and feeling an alarming pressure.

The restrictions behind them on this path were already broken, but moving forward now would be extremely dangerous.

“Stop!” Chi Lingkong commanded.

He was the leader among this group from the Fire Demon Palace, overseeing everything, his body surrounded by flickering scarlet divine flames, his expression uncertain.

“You, step forward five paces, then go left three steps,” he directed one of them, causing the cultivator’s complexion to change drastically.

This was clearly using him to scout; corroborating Chi Lingkong’s intent to break the array was truly cruel.

“Senior, spare my life!” the man pleaded, his face drained of color as he continuously bowed deeply, begging to be spared.

“Stop the nonsense.

My martial uncle told you to go; afterwards, you will receive your fortune.

Don’t waste time,” a young, beautiful but sinister-looking cultivator from the Fire Demon Palace, Scarlet, rebuked loudly,
“I won’t go!” The man stepped back.

Chi Lingkong’s divine flames surged, his gaze chilling as he lifted a hand and instantly immobilized the man, unable to struggle.

“Go on in,” said the beautiful yet sinister Scarlet, preparing to throw him inside.

“No need, kill him,” Chi Lingkong said coldly.

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Scarlet, with a sinister smile, drew a bone sword and swung it, severing the man’s head in one motion that arced diagonally into the air, creating a splatter of blood.

This scene chilled everyone from head to toe, a demonstration to warn and intimidate them.

Whoever dared to disobey would meet the same fate.

“Hehe…” Chi Lingkong laughed, saying, “Such timorous cultivators, who dare not compete for fortune, what use are they?

What achievements can they possibly have in the future?

It’s better to liberate them.”
Many were enraged internally, detesting this old man’s hypocrisy.

Since he claimed to be fearless, why did he not enter himself?

“My fellow Daoist, it’s your turn now.

Seize the opportunity, go seek your own fortune,” Chi Lingkong said, pointing at a second person.

That man’s complexion was ashen; he opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but dared not.

“My martial uncle is speaking to you.

Move quickly, don’t dawdle!” Scarlet urged him on his way with a cold sneer on his beautiful and sinister face.

The cultivator, stupefied, finally took a step forward; any other choice meant instant death.

He took the first step, and characters flickered, yet he was unharmed.

Apparently, he was standing at the correct spot.

He moved once more, and at that moment, a gleam of light flashed, and he was silently sliced in half.

Then, with a ‘puh’ sound, he fell into a pool of blood and was swiftly ground into nothingness by the rising light, obliterating both his form and spirit.

“This…” Everyone felt their skin crawl, witnessing such a rapid death of a cultivator.

“You, move forward one step, then five steps to your left,” Chi Lingkong said indifferently, continuing to point at the third person to step forward.

“Spare me…

Help!” The man couldn’t help but scream, not wanting to die like this.

But when he saw Chi Lingkong’s divine flames surge and his hand raise, he despaired, tremblingly walking forward, forced to gamble everything.

However, after two safe steps, the moment he took the third, he suddenly turned into a cloud of blood mist, shattered by the characters that lit up beneath him, dying a gruesome death.

Silence fell, everyone clenched their fists.

This bullying was too severe, yet they were powerless against it.

“It’s your turn, move one step forward, one step to the left, and then keep moving forward,” Chi Lingkong directed the fourth person.

The cultivator raised his head, his face turning pale green from the struggle within him, before suddenly soaring into the air, attempting to escape.

However, with a puff sound, he disintegrated in mid-air as if slashed by countless random blades, his body divided into more than a dozen pieces, visibly beyond saving.

“I forgot to tell you all, there are arrays in the void as well.

It’s commendable to have courage, but don’t recklessly rush in,” Scarlet mocked.

“It’s your turn,” Chi Lingkong directed the fifth person.

“I’ll fight you!” This cultivator was fierce and refused to yield, suddenly causing trouble.

He wasn’t attacking the cultivator igniting divine flames, but took out his magic artifact and launched an attack on the young powerful cultivator named Scarlet next to him.

However, he was quickly immobilized, unable to move.

“Even a tiny bead dares to shine?” Chi Lingkong coldly spoke, extending his domain to trap this person in the void.

“You still want to resist?” Scarlet’s gaze was dark and gloomy, annoyed by this man’s attempt to ambush him.

The bone sword flickered and with a puff sound, it decapitated the cultivator’s head.

Everyone was angry, clenching their fists tightly.

“What are you all waiting for?

If we don’t act together, our fate is sealed,” Shi Hao secretly transmitted his voice.

He couldn’t stand watching anymore and decided to make a move.

However, only one or two people secretly responded to him, while others remained silent.

Finding himself speechless, Shi Hao decided to act regardless of others’ inaction.

However, just then, Chi Lingkong suddenly spoke, “Let’s stop here for now, and allow us old folks to think again about how to break the formation.”
Hearing this, the remaining people all breathed a sigh of relief, as if granted an amnesty.

But there was still a feeling of sullenness in everyone’s heart; they were treated as cannon fodder, not seen as human at all.

Some really wanted to join Shi Hao and break out, but eventually, they backed out.

Seeing this, Shi Hao did not immediately act.

The four divine-level powerful beings sat down to discuss how to break the formation.

“My fellows, although this ancient medicinal field has been abandoned, there are still some spiritual medicines growing.

This is an opportunity not to be missed; let’s go and collect them,” spoke a Venerable One from the Fire Demon Palace.

“Indeed, let’s use this time to gather the spiritual medicines from the field,” Scarlet moved forward, pushing people.

The abandoned medicinal field was nearby, surrounded by Golden Mountain, covered in thorny bushes.

However, spiritual medicines were also hidden among them, their auspicious aura rippling.

People were discontent but had no better option than risking the great formation.

“Be careful, the arrays here are broken, but some areas are still very dangerous,” people from the Fire Demon Palace “kindly” reminded.

Shi Hao thought for a moment and followed the crowd, still not making a move.

Upon approaching, the people from Fire Demon Palace found a cauldron with dozens of spiritual medicines in it, obviously harvested by them after breaking an array on their own earlier.

“In a moment, we will help everyone store the spiritual medicines, if you gather more than five, you must come back immediately and put them in this cauldron,” Scarlet spoke with a hint of coldness.

Many wanted to strike him directly but could only clench their fists tightly.

“You, must collect twenty,” Scarlet suddenly saw Shi Hao, recalling his previous disrespect, and gave him an almost impossible task.

Shi Hao ignored him and continued walking forward.

“Ungrateful brat, you’ll see soon!” Scarlet sneered.

Obviously, this abandoned medicinal field was also very dangerous, protected by arrays, any place that could be harvested was already scavenged by the Scarlet-Feathered Cranes; the dozens of spiritual medicines in the cauldron were their harvests.

Upon reaching this area, initially, some people were successful in obtaining precious medicines, but soon after, several died within the array patterns, causing a thrilling horror.

The four powerful beings discussed and made a staggering decision; they ordered a strong member of their clan to commit suicide.

“Ah, what do you mean by this, uncle-master?” the middle-aged man asked, confused and slightly fearful.

“You have a Beast Fang Life Talisman on you; once you are trapped, you will be immediately transported to the exit.

I want you to go back and bring our clan’s Seven-level Heavenly Ladder here,” Chi Lingkong said.

The so-called Heavenly Ladder is a special device that can traverse various arrays.

It’s rumored that a Nine-level Heavenly Ladder can even enter primal chaos arrays unscathed.

Having a Seven-level Heavenly Ladder was already regarded as an incredibly rare treasure for the Scarlet-Feathered Cranes.

Of course, this tool does not exhibit any attack power and can only be used briefly to traverse arrays and cannot last long.

Even so, such a treasure would not be easily utilized; it would be a great pity if it were lost.

Entering the Primordial Heaven Secret Realm is fraught with uncertainties and dangers.

The Fire Demon Palace dared not let them bring it in easily, fearing it would be lost inside, and only decided to retrieve it after confirming at this moment that there were no competitors here, and a huge opportunity was present, after consultation among the four great power-holders.

In the distance, the crowd was speechless.

Is this even possible?

“This secret realm belongs to Five Elements State, and the exit is under the control of Immortal Mountain and our schools.

If even such a small matter can’t be accommodated, wouldn’t that mean the Fire Demon Palace is too pathetic?” Chi Lingkong sneered.

In the end, that person self-amputated, and then was swept away by a burst of rune light.

It did not take long; he returned, bringing with him a pristine white, jade-like Heavenly Ladder.

The four strong figures personally set it up, creating a white jade pathway straight through to the vicinity of Golden Mountain.

“Come over.” Chi Lingkong spoke, and the cultivators who were gathering herbs were “invited” over.

Rune lights flickered, trapping Shi Hao and the other two in the medicine field, unable to extricate themselves for a while and unable to come over.

Scarlet reveled in their misfortune, saying, “If you don’t collect twenty precious medicines, don’t even think of living to return.”
Shi Hao turned around, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, utterly unconcerned; he simply did not want to go over.

“You all, step onto the Heavenly Ladder.” Yan Lingkong pointed at the four people, forcing them to move forward along the white jade pathway.

Those four, with grim determination, took steps forward.

Unexpectedly, everything went remarkably smooth, with no dangers, and they successfully reached the foot of Golden Mountain.

“Search carefully there.” Chi Lingkong ordered, and the people from the Fire Demon Palace were incredibly excited; they had succeeded!

With a “dong”, someone at the foot of the mountain opened a golden gate, revealing a golden palace inside the mountain, shocking the Scarlet-Feathered Cranes clan, who then cheered.

“That’s great!”
“You all go over too, enter the palace and explore together.” Chi Lingkong ordered the other cultivators to proceed as well.

As a result, all these people safely arrived and entered the golden palace within the mountain.

They issued exclamation after exclamation as divine noises began to resonate from that place.

And, runes lit up, mysterious and unforeseeable, yet they did not harm those people.

This group of cultivators sat cross-legged on the ground, as if listening to a profound legacy, entering a state of sudden enlightenment, completely engrossed, unmoving.

“Wake up!” Chi Lingkong shouted sharply on this side, rousing many people, who were then asked what kind of legacy it was.

“It’s profound, related to the True Dragon.”
“No, it’s the heritage of a supreme colossal beast.”
Hearing this, the four strong figures no longer hesitated, subsequently stepping onto the Heavenly Ladder, intent on rushing over; such a heritage must not fall into the hands of others.

At the same time, Chi Lingkong raised his hand, and pointed towards the direction of the medicine field.

A Divine Fire descended from the sky, and with a bang, engulfed Shi Hao and the other two.

In an instant, a large pit appeared in their place, deep beyond sight.

Chi Lingkong coldly smirked, now finally at ease.

He then stepped onto the Heavenly Ladder and went forward, admonishing his clan’s younger generation to guard well this end of the Heavenly Ladder; soon, the four great power-holders also entered the belly of Golden Mountain.

In the deep pit, Shi Hao shook off the dirt from his body, silently standing up, his eyes full of cold light, climbing out of the great pit.

Regrettably, the other two did not survive, unable to withstand that divine might, and were shaken to death.

Indifferently, he walked towards the Heavenly Ladder, where forty people were stationed, all excited and tense, anticipating the full return of the four great figures.

“Eh, you didn’t die?” Scarlet was surprised, spotting Shi Hao approaching, the others also turned around, all frowning.

“Quickly kill him!” These people were very decisive, and though they looked down on Shi Hao, they did not want any accidents to occur, absolutely not allowing anyone to approach there.

Three Venerable Ones advanced side by side, almost simultaneously attacking.

However, the unexpected happened; the young man who came alone carried a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, swinging three punches in succession, clashing hard with them, neither dodging nor evading.

With a “puh”, the three elders were almost simultaneously sent flying backwards, coughing up large amounts of blood, their arms exploding simultaneously, turning into a mist of blood.

“What?!”
Everyone screamed in disbelief, unable to believe what had just happened.

A mere young cultivator, who could be bullied, how had he suddenly become so powerful?

Keep in mind, several of those who had ignited divine flames had earlier investigated these people and confirmed they lacked strength to resist and did not possess that kind of capability.

Shi Hao followed up, swift as lightning, charging forward to kill and delivering three punches simultaneously causing three great experts to disintegrate almost at the same time, turning into a large expanse of blood rain, dying a violent death.

It was too terrifying, everyone felt their hairs stand on end.

“Everyone attack together, hurry and kill him!” someone shouted, which was equivalent to signaling the opponents across.

“Crack!”
Lightning streaked across the sky, Shi Hao erupted like a young Celestial God, showcasing incomparable combat power.

The eight or nine figures that rushed up were struck into charred figures, flung away.

He took a few steps and was up close, standing beside the White Jade Heavenly Ladder.

“Dong!”
He lifted this treasure intending to take it away.

“How dare you?”
Opposite, Chi Lingkong and four other powerhouses heard the commotion and rushed out, extremely furious and immensely anxious, about to climb the Heavenly Ladder back.

However, Shi Hao had already taken out a fist-sized Pill Furnace, emitting an earthy yellow color, suddenly bursting with supreme divine might as he smashed it on the Heavenly Ladder, creating a cracking sound and fissures appeared.

The Heavenly Ladder, a Magic Artifact of amazing value, but not known for its offensive capabilities.

The four powerhouses were stopped in their tracks, their hearts chilled with fear.

If they climbed up now and the ladder instantly broke apart, they would definitely plummet into the Array and find no place for their corpses.

“With so many of you, can’t you withstand him alone?

Worthless!” Chi Lingkong raged.

Here, a swarm of powerhouses rushed forward, attacking Shi Hao.

Yet what terrified them was the vast difference between their strengths.

Shi Hao’s body shone brightly, his attacking power awe-inspiring.

With a swing of his fist, one Venerable One was directly blown up, turning into a vast blood rain in the void.

Was this even human?

Everyone was horrified!

“Crack!”
A streak of electric arc passed, and six or seven people turned into charred corpses, alive struck by the lightning.

During this process, Shi Hao collected the Seven-level Heavenly Ladder, turned it into palm-length, held it in his hand, and then flashed a cold smile.

Now without any concerns, he went all out.

Like a True Dragon entering a pack of dogs, he began a great slaughter, with blood rain flying around.

“Pfft!”
A Venerable One was kicked apart by him, exploding in mid-air.

“Boom!”
Flame-like lightning spanned the skies, turning another four people into ashes, completely annihilated.

During this, a few were enveloped by a light rain, breaking through the air and leaving this place.

“Beast Fang Life Talisman?” Shi Hao’s eyes flickered.

At the exit of the Primordial Heaven Secret Realm, elders of various schools guarding the altar were conversing, guessing which school had the largest harvest, which primordial individual would rise brilliantly, overpowering competitors.

“You Fire Demon Palace took a great advantage, sending some weaklings in, and your clan faced no competition pressure, that’s quite unkind,” someone complained.

“Heh, just utilizing the worthless, who asked you to be slow?

Let them exert some remaining heat.

They were ranked last anyway, insisting on knowing their limits entering, so who regrets sending them to their death?” The elder of the Fire Demon Palace responded with a light laugh, filled with derision, ruthlessness, and pride.

Just then, the altar lit up, people holding Death Substitution Talismans were slashed and teleported back.

“Four people returned at once, arriving simultaneously, such pitiful losers,” someone said.

“Eh, that’s not right, Martial brother, don’t they seem to be from your Fire Demon Palace?” an old man remarked.

When the altar stabilized and the character light faded, the true identities of those four were clear, they indeed were people from the Scarlet-Feathered Cranes clan.

The Fire Demon Palace elder tasked with guarding the portal was alarmed, loudly asking, “What happened?”
“Elder, the powerhouses from our clan that went in were almost all killed!” someone cried out.

“What…

did you say?!” The elder of the Fire Demon Palace turned pale, stood up, and grabbed the collar of one of them.

“Elder, what kind of devil king did you send to our clan’s area?” The Venerable One, whose collar was grabbed, cried out, this time it was too tragic.

“What?

Say that again!” The elder of the Fire Demon Palace could hardly believe his own ears.
