Yuan Shitao's heart trembled. In terms of Dili, Li Chuji's strength was definitely not below that of Jin Chen and Palace Lord Yun. It would be extremely dangerous for him to run into such a terrifying opponent.
However, there was no way out.
He could only hope that Palace Lord Yun would defeat Jin Chen and come to his aid. The only thing Yuan Shitao could do now was to stall for time.
"This attack is only forty percent of my full strength. You won't be able to hold on for long."
Qin Hao said coldly, seeing through his opponent's intentions. However, how could Jin Chen be defeated so easily?
"You think I'll believe your bluff?"
Yuan Shitao shouted. His eyes were covered with a layer of gray. The Sky Burying Will in his body was gradually increasing. Dili obviously could not win in close combat, so he changed to using the power of the Will to attack.
There was a loud bang in the void, and the rumbling sounds of the Sky Burying Steles became uniform. The countless Sky Burying Steles changed direction and fell in front of Yuan Shitao. They piled up higher and higher, thicker and thicker. Tens of thousands of huge steles actually gathered into one, like a shield in front of Yuan Shitao. They emitted a terrifying curse light, illuminating the boundless world.
Runes flowed on the giant tablet. The Sky Burying Will continued to strengthen. At this moment, Yuan Shitao's aura was much stronger than when he was fighting Jin Chen. Obviously, he had used all his strength. He smashed the Sky Shaking Hammer on the giant tablet. With a buzz, the giant tablet rushed forward like a mountain crushing everything. It wanted to flatten this world and suppress Qin Hao under the Nine Underworlds.
Qin Hao stepped into the void, and his body shot forward like an arrow released from a bow. His body was surrounded by raging flames, creating a sonic boom along the way. The Nine Palace War Emperor Art was activated again, and the six major acupoints on his body flashed with dazzling divine light. A loud roar was heard, and the heavens and the earth shook. His fist landed on the giant monument, and suddenly, the demonic flames raged. The Red Lotus Will of the Way and the Sky Burying Will of the Way intertwined. Qin Hao let out a muffled groan as blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
"How much power did this punch have?"
Yuan Shitao sneered. Did he really think that he didn't have the power to fight back?
Qin Hao steadied himself. His Thousand Spirit Fiery Eyes flickered, and his gaze fell on the flowing runes on the giant tablet. Under his gaze, he saw the dense cursed runes arranged in a regular pattern. It was like an army had formed a battle formation, which greatly strengthened the Heaven Burying Will. Even with the power of the six palaces, he still couldn't break it again.
"Next punch, 50%."
Qin Hao stretched out his left fist, and balls of sacred golden light burst out from various parts of his body, symmetrical to the right side of his body. When the power of the Nine Palaces was activated, the Flames of the Way in his body roared. Qin Hao's body blossomed with an incomparably terrifying flame. Even Yuan Shitao, who was hiding behind the giant Sky Burying Monument, felt extremely uncomfortable.
Immediately after, his demonic flaming body rushed forward and punched the Sky Burying Stele again. The Ten Thousand Spirit Fire Eyes saw through the rune formation and hit the weakest point. Suddenly, the rune formation was in chaos and the stele cracked. Endless punches poured into the stele through the cracks and tore open the stele even more.
Boom! There was a loud roar.
Qin Hao's punches penetrated the stele. His body continued to move forward, and this punch landed heavily on Yuan Shitao's chest.
Yuan Shitao's eyes were wide open as an indescribable pain swept through his entire body. His sternum collapsed and broke under Yuan Shitao's fist. With a bang, Yuan Shitao's body was sent flying 300 meters away, and blood sprayed out from his mouth.
"50% … How is this possible?"
A painful and hoarse voice came out. A layer of blood-red flames flickered in Yuan Shitao's collapsed chest. He had originally hoped that Palace Lord Yun would come to his aid, but this hope was reduced to smithereens with this punch.
50%?
However, Yuan Shitao had already used 90% of his cultivation.
"Without using the rules, just relying on the Will of the Way and my fists, 50% might be too high. It might be more appropriate to call it 45%."
Qin Hao's eyes grew colder and colder. It was as if he was looking at a dead man. It was time to end the battle with Yuan Shitao.
Ah!!
Yuan Shitao raised his head and screamed. The light of the curse that enveloped the space surged into his body. 45%?
What a cruel humiliation. If this was true, he would definitely not be able to withstand Li Chuji's next attack. He could not hold back anymore. Otherwise, he would die.
The Will of the Way of the Rules was retracted. It was as if the Great Dao in all directions had been swallowed into his body. Yuan Shitao's appearance became uglier and uglier. His body became more and more deformed. Pieces of rotten stones were embedded in his face. His strong body bent and sank. A large bump appeared on his back. Disgusting mucus flowed out. As the bump burst, a stele was revealed. It looked like a gravestone that he carried on his back. On it were the faces of living people. Hundreds of faces were screaming on the stele. It was as if they were viciously cursing the world.
At this moment, Yuan Shitao's appearance could no longer be called human. He was simply a monster. His body was pressed down by the stele. It was as if he could not withstand the curses of the faces. Finally, his four limbs fell to the ground. His eerie eyes stared at Qin Hao. His eyes were completely white.
"So this is the original form of the Huis. How lowly and dirty."
Qin Hao stood in the air. Dense scales slowly covered his body and climbed up to his facial features. A ball of demonic fire formed in his palm. It expanded rapidly until it was hundreds of acres large. Looking up from the ground, it looked like a meteorite with flowing flames. It also emitted bursts of dragon's might.
"You … must die."
Yuan Shitao roared hoarsely. His four limbs crawled wildly. He jumped toward Qin Hao like a monster. His speed was incomparably fast. The Will of the Bury Heaven that he carried was twice as strong as usual. If he fought with Jin Chen again in this situation, even Prince Chen of the Warring States Period would have to retreat.
But Qin Hao was not afraid.
The dragon-shaped flames circled around the meteorite. The power of law comprehended by the number one Martial Lord of the Divine Wilderness fused with Dendi. The flames on his palm burned even more fiercely. The sky trembled as if it could not withstand Qin Hao's increasing power. The clouds in a radius of ten thousand miles collapsed and dissipated. A large number of spatial faults intersected. Then, the flaming meteorite on his palm was thrown forward.
Weng!
Like a mountain of gods and demons, it fell toward Emperor Hantian who was carrying the cursed stele on his back.
Yuan Shitao's eyes were bloodshot. The hundreds of faces on the stele on his back screamed at the same time. The sound waves were chaotic. It was as if the ghosts of purgatory wanted to devour the world. An incomparably fierce gray Emperor light suddenly shot out. It went against the sky and pierced through the falling meteorite.
Then, the meteorite was split in half. The roar of a giant dragon came from the sky. At this moment, everyone on the battlefield was alarmed. They looked over in shock. Everyone saw a dragon-shaped flame falling down. One of the Three Immortals of the Eastern Sea, the current Emperor Hantian Clan, Yuan Shitao, died.
"No …" A mournful cry reverberated. Cang Yao's eyes cracked. He saw with his own eyes that his father, who had been invincible since childhood, was killed.
God Burial Valley, Emperor Hantian Clan, had fallen.
