Chapter 670 The Assassin Hidden in the Dark!
Chapter 670 The Assassin Hidden in the Dark!
Shi Hao turned around and glanced at the corpses of Ningchuan's war servants lying on the ground, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.
Then, he looked up at the majestic ancient altar in front of him, took a deep breath, and strode up to it.
This supreme ancient altar has nine levels. Shi Hao walked at the very front, his steps steady as if walking on flat ground.
Behind him, the Sinful State cultivators who followed him faced a difficult journey, but not one of them gave up.
Because they knew this was their only chance to participate in the Three Thousand States Genius Battle.
Once you miss it, it's gone!
Shi Hao took one step at a time and soon stepped onto the ninth level of the altar.
Suddenly, he saw a stone platform on top of the ancient altar, with a jade cup on it. The cup contained a crystal-clear liquid that emitted a faint fragrance.
Supreme Elixir!
That is a divine substance that only the first person to ascend the Supreme Ancient Altar can drink.
Shi Hao walked to the stone platform, picked up the jade cup, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Gurgle~"
The moment the Supreme Liquid entered his throat, a warm power surged into Shi Hao's limbs and bones!
Shi Hao felt as if his body had been cleansed, and his mind had become clearer!
Although his cultivation level did not improve, his foundation became much more solid than before.
After drinking the Supreme Liquid, Shi Hao raised his head and looked at the huge divine consciousness tablet floating above the stone platform.
The stele is covered with names, all marks left by the monks who ascended the ancient altar over the years.
Some of these names shine brightly, some are dim and lackluster, and some have been worn away by time and disappeared without a trace.
Shi Hao reached out and placed his hand on the Divine Sense Stele, carving a single character without hesitation!
--crime!
The word "crime" is small, but it stands out.
The moment Shi Hao completely carved the character 'sin'.
A beam of light descended and enveloped the character 'sin'.
The word 'sin' began to radiate a golden light, as if proclaiming its glory to everyone.
Shi Hao nodded in satisfaction, then turned and walked to the edge of the ancient altar. He addressed the cultivators from the Sinful State below, saying, "Everyone, I know you have suffered humiliation and oppression over the years. The ancient sects of the Upper Realm say that we are descendants of sinful blood, that our ancestors betrayed the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. But today, I want to tell you, that is not sin, that is glory!"
At this point, Shi Hao's voice suddenly became loud: "Our ancestors, the Seven Kings of the Borderlands, fought bloody battles at the Imperial Pass, shedding their last drop of blood to protect this land. They were not traitors, they were heroes. But those ancient sects in the Upper Realm, those high and mighty figures, they are the real sinners!"
"They feared that the Seventh King's achievements were too great and that his prestige would surpass theirs, so they fabricated lies, slandering the Seventh King as a traitor, and banishing us descendants to the Land of Sin and even the lower realm, to suffer for generations to come!"
"And today, we want to tell them that we are not born of sin, but are descendants of heroes. The word 'sin' we carry is not a disgrace, but an honor!"
"From today onwards, we will let everyone know that the people of Sin State are not ants, and we will use our fists to carve out our own destiny!"
"We must vindicate this land of sin, and vindicate our ancestors!"
Shi Hao's passionate words instantly ignited the anger in the hearts of all the cultivators from the Sinful State present.
The crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers, their blood boiling with excitement.
However, at that moment...
A strong sense of crisis suddenly surged into Shi Hao's heart, making him startled.
"What's causing this sense of crisis...?"
Shi Hao's pupils contracted, and he instinctively tried to dodge, but found it was too late.
"--boom!"
Suddenly, beams of light surged from all directions, completely sealing off the space within a radius of ten feet around him.
The lights intertwined, forming an impenetrable curtain of light that trapped Shi Hao in the center.
Runes flowed across the light screen, emanating a chilling aura.
Shi Hao's expression changed, and he raised his hand and punched the light screen.
"--boom!"
A loud bang.
However, the light screen remained motionless, and instead, a counterforce came from it, making Shi Hao's arm go numb.
"This is... a trapping formation?" Shi Hao frowned.
Before he could think it through, one secret treasure after another appeared out of thin air within the light screen.
Soul-destroying needles, soul-suppressing bells, soul-suppressing towers, soul-devouring banners... hundreds of items, densely packed together.
Each of these treasures exudes a terrifying killing intent, clearly a deadly weapon specifically designed to target the soul.
"Soul-Destroying Needle? Soul-Slaying Bell? Soul-Suppressing Tower?"
Shi Hao's expression finally changed.
These are all legendary weapons of mass destruction, specifically designed to damage the primordial spirit. Once struck, they can cause damage to the primordial spirit at best, and at worst, the soul will be scattered.
If he is killed by these weapons, his physical body in reality will also die.
"who is it?"
Shi Hao looked around, his gaze sharp as a knife, trying to find out who had done it.
Unfortunately, no one around him answered him.
Only those treasures slowly rotated in the void, emitting a terrifying light.
Shi Hao took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He knew someone wanted him dead.
The fact that such a large-scale ambush could be carried out in the spirit world suggests that the perpetrator's identity is far from simple.
Is it Ning Chuan, the six-time champion?
Or are they those immortal ancient religions?
"Hmph~, you think you can kill me with these things? Dream on!"
Shi Hao clenched his fist, and the power of the dragon and elephant within his body began to surge wildly.
Then, he suddenly leaped into the air and rushed towards the edge of the light screen without hesitation.
at the same time.
The weapons surrounding Shi Hao also moved simultaneously.
In an instant, the Soul-Destroying Needle transformed into countless black rays of light, shooting over everything in its path!
Meanwhile, the Soul-Destroying Bell began to vibrate continuously, emitting a piercing sound that made everyone around tremble in their souls!
The Soul-Suppressing Tower was even more ruthless, descending directly from the sky and transforming into a hundred-foot-tall tower, attempting to completely suppress Shi Hao...
Shi Hao gritted his teeth and erected a golden light barrier in front of him.
The Soul-Destroying Needle struck the light screen, making a "poof" sound. The light screen began to tremble violently, but it did not shatter.
However, the sound of the Soul-Slaying Bell seemed to penetrate the light barrier, making his eardrums ache and his mind buzz.
The most deadly thing was the Soul-Suppressing Tower. Its body pressed down on the light screen, like Mount Tai pressing down, forcing Shi Hao's position to keep falling.
"Break for me!!"
At the critical moment, Shi Hao roared, and the divine elephant particles within his body vibrated wildly, unleashing the full power of the dragon and elephant.
He held up the sky with both hands, forcefully supporting the Soul-Suppressing Tower, and then threw a punch. The golden fist imprint slammed into the tower, making a loud "clang".
The Soul-Suppressing Tower was forcefully pushed back several feet by his fist!
However, before Shi Hao could even breathe a sigh of relief, the Soul-Suppressing Tower, which had been knocked back, pressed down again.
at the same time.
Other treasures from the surrounding area also surged forward in a frenzy.
Shi Hao charged left and right, but he was unable to break through the barrier of light.
There were so many treasures, and they were all arranged so perfectly that it was clearly a carefully planned operation.
Although he has the power of the dragon and elephant protecting him, he will not be injured for the time being.
But if this continues, they will eventually be worn down and killed.
