Perfect World

Chapter 473: Chapter 473: Slaying the Venerable One with a Transcendental Strike
 

Such words were shocking and struck fear into everyone’s hearts!

Shi Hao, clad in golden lion armor, stood in the sunset, holding the Divine Spirit Law Sword, his hair black and shiny, his eyes deep, looking especially heroic.

With the setting sun as bloody as ever, such a youth, like a War God, blocked the path of the five Venerables, exhibiting a daunting aura that was deeply moving.

However, at this critical juncture, the cultivators of the three sects were unwilling to appear weak, no matter what.

Especially the proud young cultivators, who were direct disciples of the Venerables. Otherwise, they would not have been brought here to gain experience, all displaying hostility.

A beautiful woman feigned indifference and sarcastically said, “What arrogant words. To think of slaying the five great Venerables, is he dreaming? Even a Celestial God reincarnate wouldn’t be able to do this at his age.”

“Perhaps he thinks he is the reincarnated Celestial God, who has now recollected his past and present lives,” another person agreed, bursting into laughter.

Hearing this, others started laughing too.

The five Venerables remained silent, their expressions indifferent. They watched the youth standing alone in the sunset from across several palaces. He shone brilliantly, looking down at everyone. Regardless of any previous grievances, one had to admit that he was a youth with exceptional gifts!

Such a posture, such a charm, a natural resonance with Heaven and Earth, close to the road, his whole body radiated colorful light, clear yet martial.

“Although he looks extraordinary, he’s just a pretty shell, possibly nothing special inside. So arrogant in front of the Venerables, he’s destined to fall and bleed,” a young cultivator from the three sects jealously taunted.

Shi Hao had always ignored them, his eyes only fixed on the five Venerables. They felt each other’s strength, forming a field in the air.

These young cultivators were all direct disciples of the Venerables, and being ignored like this made them feel uneasy.

Of course, they were also insightful and were shocked by the mysterious aura from Shi Hao. They wanted to disrupt Little Stone, weaken his field of influence, tire his spirit. Another jeered, “Little Stone, your silence—does it mean you are afraid? Too bad it’s too late.”

“The so-called emperor is just a joke against the immortal inheritance. The three sects have existed since ancient times, witnessing the rise and fall of numerous dynasties. Stone Country is just a speck in the vast ocean, and you’re merely a false emperor. Today you will be driven from your throne,” another mocked.

Finally, Shi Hao responded, darting a cold glance, giving these people a fleeting look. In that moment, it was as if two silver lightning bolts had burst forth.

These young people all felt a tingling on their scalp, their souls trembling. What kind of aura was this, shocking their souls, almost causing them to flee their bodies?

Especially those who had just spoken. Their divine souls felt as if struck by lightning. Looked upon once, they felt immense fear as if two silver True Dragons had entered their hearts.

“Bluh!”

Several cried out, coughing up blood, their bodies staggering, continuously backing away.

It was shocking. Merely with a glance, he had forced blood from their mouths—what kind of might was this? Their faces turned pale. Despite being younger than them, he possessed such imposing power.

You should know, they were all direct disciples of the Venerables, a very powerful group of young people. They were once confident, once looked down on their peers, but the result was this.

Some felt despair in their hearts. The level of achievement Shi Hao possessed was unreachable; he had already far surpassed his contemporaries to the point where they couldn’t even be compared.

Now, Shi Hao’s enemies could only be among the Venerables; bringing up his peers would be ridiculous. Insights like these further frustrated these young powerhouses.

Yet, a few female disciples had shifting gazes, filled with surprise as they looked at Shi Hao. A youth younger than them, how could he be so dazzling, capable of contending with their master?

“He does put on a show, thinking he can contend with us by borrowing the Imperial Dragon Energy and becoming a pseudo-Venerable?” an elder from Heaven Mending Sect was the first to speak, his eyes deep.

Shi Hao remained composed. At this point, he was beyond disturbances or composure, serene and calm. Now that these people had entered the imperial palace, he was not afraid to tear the skies apart and could respond with real action.

With a “clang” sound, the Golden Divine Sword was unsheathed, casting a brilliant rainbow glint that lit up the heavens, pointing at the five Venerables, battle spirit soaring, clouds stirring in all directions!

In an instant, a rolling killing intent arrived. It wasn’t just a wave but resembled a vast sea, filling the sky and land, sending chills down one’s spine.

The Venerable of the Heaven Mending Sect’s eyes turned cold, his body glowed, forming a divine flame that intensely pulsed, trying to neutralize this rolling killing intent to protect the young people behind him.

“Delusional,” he said curtly, stepping forward.

“The delusional one is you,” Shi Hao, usually reticent in responding, did not mean he always allowed others to speak without replying.

“Our sect’s Venerable is speaking to you, why aren’t you answering? Such disrespect,” from behind, a young disciple chided, hiding behind the elder of the Heaven Mending Sect.

“No matter, let the Venerables take action, suppress him, and make him realize how far he is from the immortal great teachings. All his glory and brilliance are but illusions!” another spoke.

They all took refuge behind the Venerable, feeling bold enough to speak thus; otherwise, they were fearful, remembering how they recently trembled and spat blood at his mere glance.

“Enough noise, there’s no place for you to speak!” Shi Hao spoke, his gaze sweeping over them again, and he took a step forward.

A mysterious pulse surged out, the ground shook violently, and those two people’s scalps tingled, their eyes wide open in horror because two beams of light emerged from below and enveloped them.

“Bluh!”

In an instant, their bodies cracked, then broke apart bit by bit, turning into a cloud of blood mist, and finally igniting, forming a light screen, ending their lives that way.

This wrinkled the brows of the five Venerables. Disciples standing behind them had just died, a loss of control and unexpected event that they didn’t appreciate.

Other young powerhouses all trembled, hiding behind the Venerables. Little Stone had directly killed two people—what sort of power did he wield that even their masters hadn’t noticed and hadn’t blocked?

They couldn’t help but shudder; the situation was too dangerous. If Shi Hao went mad and launched a massacre, did it mean they were all going to die on the spot?

These people had come arrogantly, hoping to witness the five Venerable Ones destroy the New Emperor’s foundation and suppress him here, all complacent and eager to witness that glorious moment. Yet, they were met with immediate rebuke.

Their bodies turned cold, and their faces were extremely ugly.

“You are too murderous,” one of the Venerable Ones from the Western Sect said, “Rather than join us in the Western Sect, we can help you transcend your inner demons and truly understand the road.”

At the same time, all five Venerable Ones shone brightly, forming a Sacred Light Screen that enveloped all their disciples and protected them dazzlingly.

“Haha…” Shi Hao laughed loudly, his black hair disheveled, showing a wild and domineering air. He shook his head and said, “Still fantasizing about enlightening me? Today, let me enlighten you instead.”

Saying this, he stepped forward, actively approaching the five Venerable Ones. With each step, bursts of radiant light arose, and one golden lotus after another appeared, exhibiting an air of transcendence and martial prowess.

“Lotuses bloom with every step!” The others were fine, but the Venerable One from the Western Sect watched intently, his gaze profound.

Such a celestial phenomenon was astonishing indeed, something even a Venerable One might find difficult to manifest. Especially since, for the Western Sect, the lotus had a significant meaning, and the New Emperor they were confronting possessed such majestic and pure divine brilliance.

“Little Stone, do not deceive yourself, come and talk, and you can still be saved,” a Venerable One from the Heaven Mending Sect spoke up.

The use of ‘Little Stone’ was still a sign of contempt for the New Emperor. Before, he had even mentioned the issue of the emperor’s abdication, which naturally made Shi Hao’s gaze turn colder still.

“The middle-aged Daoist has been slain by me; do you want to be the next?!” These were Shi Hao’s words, his Golden Divine Sword in hand trembling, casting a radiant brilliance that pressed down with a loud boom.

The brilliance was too intense, accompanied by True Dragon aura, like a golden sun plummeting, making everyone’s hearts heavy and causing them to inhale sharply.

“She’s been killed?!” The Venerable One from the Heaven Mending Sect cried out, no longer able to stay calm, his face drastically changing. Venerable Ones were precious, even for an immortal sect, a deterrence generally not employed.

Behind him, others were also shocked; many had seen Shi Hao defeat the Daoist and expel her from the capital, but they hadn’t expected she would be slain.

“I don’t believe it; how could my master die?” A young female disciple screamed in panic. The death of such a powerful Venerable One greatly frightened her.

Without time to say anything else, the Venerable One from the Heaven Mending Sect formed hand seals, and a fiery red Qilin charged up, confronting the golden sun in the high sky, resisting this terrifying strike.

“Boom!”

Heaven and earth overturned, the scene was resplendent, with a dense rain of light permeating through heaven and earth. This place became an ocean of Divine Power, the strike mighty and soul-shaking.

The young powerhouses behind the Venerable Ones screamed; had it not been for the brilliant light from the five Venerable Ones, forming a dazzling light screen protecting them in the center, all would have perished, turning to ashes.

After the strike ended, all five Venerable Ones erupted with tremendous fluctuations, emitting immeasurable light that soared to the skies, their aura frighteningly intimidating.

Their protective divine lights connected together, akin to five great mountains standing side by side, majestic and solemn, sacred and powerful, suppressing all resisters in the world.

The five Venerable Ones stepped forward simultaneously, each step emitting endless mystical light, powerful and dignified, with a rain of light everywhere.

This was a mighty oppression, rolling towards Shi Hao together, as if five deities had descended to the Lower Realm, terrifying enough to cause dread in people’s souls, making it difficult to harbor any thoughts of resistance.

Shi Hao swung his sword, a golden Sword Qi slashing out, severing that “great momentum” and creating a tranquil area, standing alone in the midst, looking forward where two Venerable Ones from Immortal Mountain stood.

“If you too have taken action, then don’t blame me for showing no mercy,” he muttered to himself.

“Little Stone, we are here to save you, why not turn back? With your power, how can you contend against such Venerable Ones?” the two great Venerable Ones from Immortal Mountain spoke up.

“The emperor is the emperor, how dare you insult him with the term ‘Little Stone’!” Peng Jiu shouted from a distance.

“Shut up, who gave you the right to speak!” a Venerable One rebuked.

“It’s you who should be silent!” Shi Hao retorted coldly.

The elder from Heaven Mending Sect’s gaze turned grim, his expression frosty, filled with endless killing intent. He was the first to make a move because the death of the middle-aged Daoist had ignited his rage.

“Young Emperor, Little Stone, your time of death has arrived!” he moved his hands, pulling a crimson Qilin, with characters filling the sky, shaking the heavens, unleashing the strongest strike.

At the same time, the other four Venerable Ones also stepped forward, emanating a tremendous pressure, coordinating with him, oppressing Shi Hao, aiding him in his strike.

Shi Hao snorted coldly, forcefully stamping his foot, the heaven and earth transformed, suddenly bursting out with endless radiant light, segregating the Venerable One from Heaven Mending Sect into a particular area.

Here, abundant True Dragon energies and dense characters shone brilliantly, with a pervasive Divine Spirit Aura and overwhelming sacred light.

“Divine Spirit Formation?!” The Venerable One from Heaven Mending Sect was shocked, then his expression completely changed.

“I’ve already experienced the peerless skill of another Venerable One from the Heaven Mending Sect, so I don’t need you to temper me. Rest in peace,” Shi Hao spoke softly.

The Divine Spirit Formation lit up, intertwining into a dense array of characters, submerging the area, causing the Venerable One from Heaven Mending Sect to react furiously, struggling to cope. Despite his full resistance, he was still about to be suppressed.

Shi Hao stepped forward, transcendentally approaching, his robes fluttering, ethereally elegant. With a wave of his hand, his Golden Divine Sword slashed, “Pfft,” severing the head of the Heaven Mending Sect’s Venerable One, blood spurting high!
