Chapter 262 – Conclusion of the Forbidden Sea

Symbols dropped onto his body in seemingly endless amounts . It was difficult to see just how many of those net-like patterns descended . They were all crystalline and transparent, with each of them formed perfectly . Not a single chain was missing .

Shi Hao was immersed in his study of these endless mysteries . Both his body and mind were thrown in, and at that moment, it was as if he returned the the archaic age . It seemed as if he arrived during the power struggle between giants, an era when tens of thousands of races stood in great numbers .

In that instant, it was as if he glanced back tens of thousands of years .

Hong!

A bird of prey soared into the sky, striking down heavenly bodies one after another .

It cried toward the moon and roared towards the heavens . Several moons were blasted apart, turning into a silver rain of light that scattered down onto the great earth .

A winged dragon soared into the air, stirring up heavenly winds as it blasted down the shrines of the nine heavens one after another . They smashed down like meteorites, creating huge explosions of dust and smoke .

Was this the archaic era? There were simply too many powerful creatures . This was an era where supreme experts contended for supremacy, and the battle made people’s blood boil . There were creatures who were happy, and many who suffered tragically as well . Many gorgeous individuals that were beautiful enough to be a part of legends existed .

However, this was merely a look into the past . Shi Hao was able to see this small bit through the Kun Peng’s inheritance . This scene overwhelmed him with emotions . Incredibly talented and powerful individuals came forth in great numbers, stirring up his heart greatly .

Of course, this was only an era where only the strong would shed tears of joy . There were many creatures who were not happy to live during that time .

Shi Hao understood that this was the era when the Kun Peng was born . There was an inseparable connection between that place and itself . While immersed within this state, he did everything he could to capture this scene in his mind .

By living within that era and understanding this great backdrop, he could understand this unmatched divine ability even better .

Just like this he continued to engage himself in his study . On his body’s surface, golden spirals swirled about, and within each of these symbols was another symbol . The most powerful profound mysteries were being acquired bit by bit like so .

During this process, the symbols around his body continuously transformed . It slowly went from a blazing gold to a black color . It followed the transformation of the Peng bird to a Kun fish as he undulated up and down within the pool of blood .

Gradually, Shi Hao reached the deepest state of dao . He became completely isolated from the outside world as he became engross in this wondrous and mysterious realm .

Everything became calm inside the Devil Refinement Cave . A single youth was gaining enlightenment as his mind travelled through the great emptiness . He soared over the archaic times to comprehend this supreme magic .

Meanwhile, on that altar, the great battle was also reaching a climax . The fighting here was extremely bitter, with blood splashing in all directions . The great powers went crazy as they engaged in this contest of strength .

For the sake of that great power, even supreme experts gave up their arrogant attitudes as they fought with their lives on the line . They summoned up every last drop of courage within them to fight endlessly here .

“Not good! A piece of the precious bone has fallen into the Flaming Fish race’s hands!” Someone cried out loudly, feeling that this was a problem .

It was because there were over a hundred thousand flaming fish here . Even though they left the waters, they seemed completely unaffected as they stood on their tails . With all of them grouped up together while spewing out flaming symbols, who dared to approach them?

Han Tian was incredibly powerful as well . The Divine Lamp of Illumination lit up, blasting away a group of experts . He seized over a piece of the bone before returning to his allies .

“Kill!”

On the other side, the people from the Archaic Divine Mountains were also fighting against everyone else with everything they had . Several pure-blooded creatures were killed in and out before they finally seizing a piece . They guarded it with their lives .

“Get out of the way or die!” Mo Shang shouted loudly as he swept out with the golden halberd in hand . It almost seemed as if he was harvesting wheat as corpses fell all around him .

On top of the altar, rivers of blood flowed . Experts from all different races fought over the Kun Peng’s precious bones . Their eyes were all red from this bloodbath .

This precious technique held too much importance . Once it was obtained and studied thoroughly, it could allow a race to rise abruptly to power into one of the Great Wastelands’ leading figures . They would no longer have to fear others .

In reality, a piece of it didn’t make that much of a difference . At most, it would be exchanged with those supreme experts for a priceless treasure .

Experts fought bitterly above and below the altar . Creatures were being slaughtered everywhere inside this cave . This place was absolutely chaotic, with cries of war echoing from all directions .

No one knew just how many were killed here . The battle was desperate and bitter . Even someone as powerful as the incredible sea deity descendant Mo Shang was suffering grave injuries . Many people were targeting him .

The battle servants that he brought with him had all died without a single one surviving . Even the battle platform that he brought inside was shattered . The Sea Deity race’s symbols burned furiously, flooding outwards .

Of course, there were many, many people who died while trying to kill him as well . Corpses were piled up like mountains all around him . He had transformed into a blood-covered demon . His golden halberd seemed to have almost been completely dyed red .

The battle was incredibly miserable . Mo Shang originally seized two pieces, but after being attacked from all sides, he was forced to throw out a piece . He used the opportunity to break free from this terrifying battlefield .

The fights continued, persisting for several days . They fought from the main palace hall into the other stone rooms, and from the sea floor all the way to the ocean surface . It was absolute chaos .

It was a blood covered demonic land . Everyone had already lost track of how many creatures died from all different races here . The entire Kun Peng cave was dyed red with blood as far as one could see with corpses lying about everywhere .

The six pieces were divided up by the great powers . Not a single person could hold on to more than one piece . The inheritance was divided up between the hands of the land and sea powers .

To the various supreme experts, this resulting situation was absolutely terrible . The appearance of the Kun Peng precious technique was extraordinarily good news, but it ended up being scattered like this . It really was difficult for them to accept .

Regardless, after fighting for so many days on end, the battle finally ended . A seemingly endless amount of corpses were left behind .

There were still many powers that did not leave . They continued to struggle here with unwillingness, unable to accept the result .

There were even some who wanted ‘Eternity’ for themselves, but they all returned defeated and in low spirits . As soon as that weapon moved, the primal chaos would descend and turn those creatures into a meat paste, making it impossible for them to obtain it .

“Once the restrictions here disappear, we will send supreme experts here to collect it!”

“Ancestors, let’s retreat as well . It’s better if we go back for now, this place is too dangerous . ”

“Easier said than done . The outskirts of this sea region are probably surrounded by extremely powerful individuals . It’s even more dangerous there . ” Many people cursed .

Even the great powers that obtained pieces of the precious bone were still rather upset . They didn’t want to act recklessly, because they knew that the most miserable part of this battle hadn’t even begun yet .

Being attacked by supreme experts once they left this place was the worst thing that could happen . The entire world seemed like it was going to be destroyed, and blood was flowing backwards into the nine heavens .

Many people felt apprehensive . They were hoping that the people on their side outside were prepared to receive them . Otherwise, they were all going to die!

There were other powers who were still extremely confident like the creatures of the Archaic Divine Mountains . They firmly believed that the divine mountains’ supreme experts were the strongest and that they had already arrived, waiting for their appearance .

Finally, someone walked out of the ocean region, bringing out news of what happened . The northern sea was immediately thrown into complete disorder .

As soon as everyone knew that the first piece of the Kun Peng bone appeared, an enormous silver hand descended from the skies . A single one of its fingers was already bigger than a mountain ridge . Its entire hand grabbed downwards .

“You dare!”

An angry rebuke rang out . A large claw slapped over, covering the sun and moon as it arrived . Tens of thousands of purple strands flowed out as it collided with that enormous silver hand .

“Leave behind the precious bone!”

A golden claw swept over from the nine heavens . It cleaved apart the northern sea and smashed over to seize the precious technique .

In a mere split second, this place erupted into chaos . Supreme experts appeared to fight above the northern seas .

The first group of people that rushed out were truly unfortunate . Not even their family’s supreme experts’ protection was enough . They suffered heavy losses, and ten corpses immediately fell before they returned to the restricted seas .

This was an absolute catastrophe for the northern sea . It was an absolute massacre .

This scope of this battle was extremely great . With the appearance of the six precious bones, the waters were thrown into chaos . Even those at the absolute peak of existence couldn’t hold themselves back from participating in this bloody struggle .

However, all of this had nothing to do with Shi Hao . Even if they fought until the seas dried and rush into space, he would similarly be as still as a mountain . He was completely unaware of what was going on as he continued to comprehend the dao .

In the end, it seemed as if the aura of ancient deities emerged, causing the heavens to tremble .

This fight was too bitter and desperate . Even after many years had passed, when people brought up this event, their expressions would still change . The northern seas had completely turned into a graveyard .

Even after fighting so chaotically, no one was able to obtain all six pieces . They were scattered throughout the Great Wastelands, Sea Deity Islands, Heavenly Divine Mountains and other places . This place turned into absolute ruins .

This was due to the fact that there were always supreme experts who weren’t willing to give up and continued to fight .

Honglonglong!

The Kun Peng’s nest split open and sank to the ocean floor . The altar was completely destroyed and ruined . Streak after streak of divine light rushed forth . Eternity, Black Heavenly Ruler, Golden Fan, and Dragon Tooth Dagger all flew out into the waters . From then on, they disappeared .

There were a few supreme experts that came in later on, only to find that the restriction had not disappeared . After hesitating for a while, they left . None of them dared to search the ocean floor .

The ocean war’s after effects were profound and long-lasting . It was rumored that there were more than one supreme expert that lost their life here, with their true bodies destroyed . The losses were truly disastrous . The entire northern sea was dyed red from blood .

It was rumored that there were many ocean creatures that stayed here for a long period of time . They frantically devoured the ocean waters to obtain the spiritual essence within .

The crisis continued for a few months before the ocean region finally calmed down . Everyone left, and no one continued to probe around .

Shi Hao was still sitting within the Devil Refinement Cave . His gains were incredible . He was finally able to engrave all of the symbols’ transformations firmly into the depths of his mind .

Shua

Golden symbols began to change into a pure black colored Kun fish . It surrounded his body like before, floating up and down together with him in the pool of blood .

The brilliant magma-like blood would flow over and submerge him as soon as he entered . The symbols around him would be completely submerged, and a Kun fish would once again undulate up and down .

“Kun Peng blood!”

Shi Hao was shocked as he stared with his eyes widened from shock . This bloody liquid contained a secret! There was a drop of the Kun Peng’s true blood within this bloody pool that could seize the natural force between the heaven and earth .

Throughout these endless years, the blood’s divinity still did not fade . It was nourished within the spiritual spring, producing symbols that multiplied without end .

It was only a single drop of blood that entered the spiritual spring, yet it formed a pool of blood . It could be seen just how incredible the medicinal effects were . This was left behind by the Kun Peng to allow its successor to undergo rebirth .

This was an incredible opportunity!

Shi Hao’s body was powerful enough and didn’t need such a thing . However, after participating in the chaotic battles on that altar, his entire body was in tatters . He was almost killed, yet a drop of shockingly priceless blood actually appeared in front of him .

In just a split second, his body began to make pi pa sounds . His inner organs were shaken, and bones rang with keng qiang sounds while suffused with precious light .

When he opened his eyes again, his worn-out body became excellent and undamaged . He had returned to his peak state, and even improved by a step . This drop of true blood was too tyrannical . It transformed his bones and cleansed his marrows, allowing him to undergo a complete transformation .

There wasn’t a single scar on Shi Hao’s body . He had thoroughly recovered . His flesh was translucent, and his eyes were bursting with life .

During the following period of time, he continuously comprehended the dao . He remembered every single symbol within his heart . In the end, there was only a single character of the Kun Peng’s precious technique left . However, its profoundness was even greater than a diagram of the heavenly constellations .

He firmly branded that symbol within his sea of consciousness . This was something that he needed more time to comprehend . It wasn’t something that he could understand overnight . After all, it was the Kun Peng’s magic, and was ranked within the Archaic Vicious Ten .

Finally, he started the process of ‘Nurturing Spirit’ . Now that he obtained the true Kun Peng’s magic, it was the perfect time for nurturing a spirit .

The Spiritual Transformation Realm was divided into three steps: body spiritualization, true self reformation, and nurturing spirit in heavenly passages .

These three stages could only be infinitely neared . They seemed almost impossible to reach, and throughout the vast wastelands, not many people had successfully achieved absolute perfection throughout the ages .

“Nurturing spirit within heavenly passages . After completing this stage here, I can return . This small trip really ended up taking two years…” Shi Hao muttered to himself .
