Gaze and you will become stronger: starting from Doupo

Jiang Han frowned and looked up, only to see a scarlet crack in the eastern sky, as if a giant beast was breathing in the clouds. In the distance, there was a thunderous vibration, not an earthquake, but some kind of behemoth was approaching, and every step made the foundation of the imperial capital groan.

"Roar--!"

The first roar shattered the thousands of miles of clouds. Everyone saw a giant claw tearing through the clouds, with undigested mountains embedded in the cracks between its nails. Each knuckle was a hundred feet thick, and black magma flowed between its scales - it was the "blood demon" that guarded the Netherworld Blood Sea in the legend.

"You're looking for death!" Shi Zhongtian roared and threw the mace. The weapon turned into a huge pestle in the air, and smashed towards the beast head with the pressure of "the first warrior in the wilderness". However, the giant beast shook its head, and a black beam of light spurted out, melting the mace into molten iron.

"Be careful! It's the 'ghost fire'!" Jiang Han's Heaven-turning Seal flew up again, unfolding a star barrier above everyone's head. The moment the ghost fire touched the barrier, the twenty-eight constellations lit up with blood light, and even the immortals' magic tools could not resist it.

"Is that an iron rod?" Shi Hao pointed at the sky and exclaimed. He saw a golden rod falling from the clouds. The rod was engraved with four ancient characters "Dinghai Shenzhen". Every stroke flowed with the innate Taoism. The man holding the rod was wearing a golden chainmail armor, with a monkey-like face and bright eyes. He was the disciple of the Monkey King who made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago.

"You thief, give me your life!" The monkey roared, and the iron rod brought a golden light to the sky, splitting the ghost fire of the blood demon in half. But at this moment, a red flame fell from the sky and turned into a fire bird about ten feet high, holding a half-burning sky bone box in its claws - the holy object that the beasts were fighting for.

"Bifang bird?" Jiang Han's pupils shrank slightly. This ancient mythical beast was supposed to guard the Nanhuang volcano, but it appeared here at this moment, which shows how tempting the treasure in the square box is. He activated his "Heavenly Eyes" and saw the object in the box through the layers of treasure light: it was a piece of bone engraved with the patterns of the Heavenly Dao, faintly revealing a chaotic aura, and it was surprisingly the same origin as the Supreme Bone in Shi Hao's body.

“Ouch!”

The fourth figure joined the battle. It was a white tiger with wings on its back. The word "king" on its forehead glowed silver, and every hair was engraved with the scripture of "Taichu Pidi Jing". It opened its mouth and sucked, and the spiritual energy within a thousand miles was sucked into a vacuum, and the flame of the Bifang bird suddenly became three points smaller.

"The four evil men have gathered." The girl with double pupils returned at some point and coughed while leaning against the broken wall. "The box contains the 'remains of heaven', which were left behind by Pangu after he created the world." She suddenly trembled violently, and black blood oozed from her fingers. "Be careful! They want to..."

Before he finished speaking, the Blood Demon Hound suddenly turned around, and its huge claws actually grabbed towards Shi Hao. Jiang Han's pupils suddenly shrank, and he used all his strength to activate the Heaven-Flipping Seal, but he saw the monkey's iron stick, the white tiger's spiritual energy, and the Bifang's flames attacking him at the same time - it turned out that the beasts' real purpose was not to drink, but to attack Shi Hao, who possessed the Supreme Bone!
"Looking for death!" Jiang Han finally got really angry, and 365 phantoms of stars appeared around him, each corresponding to the stars in the sky. He raised his hand and formed the "Heaven Seal", and the clouds above the entire imperial capital solidified into ice crystals, and the attacks of the four evil spirits were frozen in mid-air.

Shi Hao felt that the supreme bone in his chest was about to burst out of his body, and the bone pattern spread on his skin into a golden network. He heard countless voices roaring in his mind, the sound of Pangu's axe of creation, the sound of Nuwa's stone repairing, and finally converged into a majestic voice: "Bone setting!"

The square box suddenly broke free from the Bifang bird's claws and turned into a stream of light and flew into Shi Hao's arms. The four evil spirits roared unwillingly at the same time. The ghost fire of the blood demon, the iron stick of the ape, the spiritual energy of the white tiger, and the flames of the Bifang bombarded the child at the same time. Jiang Han's star barrier made a cracking sound. He saw Shi Hao open his eyes, and the reflections of the four evil spirits were reflected in his pupils - that was a sign of the resonance between the Supreme Bone and the Remains of Heaven.

"boom!"

In the earth-shattering explosion, golden calamity light rose from Shi Hao's body. The first calamity light swept across the blood demon, and its scales peeled off, revealing the squirming flesh underneath; the second calamity light hit the ape, and most of the Dao rhyme on the iron stick was stripped off; the third calamity light touched the white tiger, and the scriptures on its back ignited a raging fire; the fourth calamity light enveloped the Bifang, and the flames instantly turned into ice crystals.

When the fourth calamity light fell, the four evils were already covered in wounds and no longer dared to stay, turning into streams of light and fleeing. Shi Hao looked down at the square box in his hand, the remains of the heavens were slowly merging with the bones of the supreme being, forming a yin-yang fish pattern in his palm. He looked up at Jiang Han and found that his master had blood on his lips and his Taoist robe was soaked with cold sweat.

"Master, I..."

"Hush." ​​Jiang Han raised his hand to stop them, his eyes looking in the direction where the girl with double pupils disappeared, "After this battle, I'm afraid there will be no peace in the wasteland." He paused, and two jade slips flew out of his sleeves, "This is the "Northern Dipper Refining Spirit Art" and the "Chaos Avoidance Art", you should practice. Remember, from now on..."

He suddenly turned around, looking at the dark clouds rolling in the eastern sky, and said in a low voice like a morning bell: "Don't show weakness easily. In this world, the strong are always respected."

Shi Hao nodded, not quite understanding. The Yin-Yang fish on his palm suddenly glowed, reflecting the golden light in his eyes. In the distance, on the ruins of the King Wu's Mansion, Shi Zhongtian was picking up the broken mace, while the people of the imperial capital knelt on the ground, kowtowed in the direction where the robbery light disappeared - they didn't know that a new legend was quietly opening up in this small courtyard.

The bronze tower of the Wuwang Mansion cast a huge shadow in the twilight. The soul-calming bells hanging on the eaves suddenly rang collectively, and copper chips fell like a rainstorm. The people of the imperial capital huddled in their houses, and through the cracks in the door they saw the colorful fairy light surging in the eastern sky. Each ray of light was wrapped in the pressure of destroying the world, burning hideous holes in the clouds.

"It's Qiongqi!" Someone recognized the white tiger with wings on its back. The pattern of "王" on its forehead was composed of innate Taoist characters. Every time it opened and closed, it exhaled black magic mist. "It's carrying the remaining pages of the "Blood Sutra of the Netherworld" on its back!" Suppressed exclamations came from the crowd. The old men knelt down one after another and banged their foreheads on the ground. Legend has it that when Qiongqi appears in the world, it will bring bloody disasters. The last time it appeared was three hundred years ago when the ancient kingdom of Loulan was massacred.

Zhu Yan, holding an iron rod, roared and split the clouds. His three arms held different magical instruments: the left hand held the Dinghai Shenzhen, the right fist held the shadow of the Kaitian Axe, and the middle arm held a miniature Buzhou Mountain. This monkey was covered in chain mail and golden armor with starlight flowing through it. Every hair was engraved with the Taoist name "The Great Sage Equaling Heaven". He was obviously the descendant of an ancient demon king. "The Swallowing Sky Bird is absorbing spiritual energy again!" Someone shouted. Everyone looked up and saw that the bird that covered the sky and the sun opened its huge beak. The spiritual veins around the imperial capital were pulled out of the ground, and the green spiritual energy poured into its belly like a long river. The ground cracked instantly, revealing the tangled "earth vein dragon tendons" deep inside. Black blood oozed out of it, which was a sign that the spiritual veins had been sucked out.

The most eye-catching thing was the palm-sized little red bird. The flames around it were flowing in nine colors, and every time it flapped its wings, it left a string of rune afterimages, which was the embodiment of the legendary "Nanming Lihuo". At this moment, it was shuttling between the three fierce beasts at an incredible speed. Seven of the fire spirit beads on its tail feathers had been broken, but it was still biting a corner of the square box tightly - the box was made of Pangu's ribs, and the chaotic air that came through the gaps made King Wu, who was watching the battle from a distance, feel sweet in his throat.

"Master, look, it's Xiao Hong!" Shi Hao pulled Jiang Han's sleeve, tears welling up in his eyes. Three days ago, the bird was still pecking at wild fruits on his shoulder, but now it was covered with wounds. Jiang Han noticed the green ribbon wrapped between Xiao Hong's claws - it was a wristband that Shi Hao had woven with Chaos Qi, which was now soaked in blood, but still emitted a faint light.

"boom!"

Qiongqi's "Netherworld Ghost Claw" collided with Zhu Yan's "Heaven-Flipping Stick", and the space cracked like glass. The Sky-Swallowing Bird took the opportunity to swoop down, and its giant claws tore open the back of the little red bird, revealing the beating fire core inside. At the critical moment, the little red bird suddenly turned into nine flames, each of which condensed into a mini phoenix form, which was the forbidden technique of the Bifang tribe, "Nine Tribulations Clone".

"What a nirvana rebirth." Jiang Han's Heaven-turning Seal in his sleeve trembled slightly. He could tell that this bird was not an ordinary Bifang. There was a faint pattern of the "Nanming Lihuo Formation" between its eyebrows. It was clearly a direct descendant of the ancient fire phoenix. Three hundred years ago, he had seen a similar fire in the Burial Valley. At that time, the phoenix was willing to burn itself on the Tiandao Platform to protect the people.

"Human, you are looking for death!" Qiongqi suddenly turned around, and the magic mist turned into thousands of bone arrows and shot at the crowd. Shi Zhongtian roared and raised his mace, but saw a golden barrier unfolding from Hao'er's palm - it was the prototype of the resonance between the Supreme Bone and the Heavenly Remains. The moment the bone arrow touched the barrier, it turned into a sky full of fluorescent light, and condensed into the innate Bagua diagram above Shi Hao's head.

"Born with the Supreme Bone" The Stone Country Emperor's voice trembled. The emperor who had ruled the Stone Country for five hundred years couldn't help but take a half step forward at this moment. He remembered the revelation he got in the Taichu Ancient Mine when he was young: "Those who get the Supreme Bone can control the reincarnation of heaven." The bone pattern that was faintly visible on the chest of the child in front of him was exactly the same as the "Eye of Heaven" recorded in ancient books.

"Your Majesty, this boy already has a master." Shi Zhongtian sensed the burning in the eyes of the Human Emperor and spoke hastily. He saw the chaotic energy flowing from Jiang Han's sleeves, and thought of the ripple that easily dispelled the attacks of the four evils just now - that was clearly the prototype of the legendary "Hongjun Yiqi". How could such a person be inferior to the Human Emperor?

The Human Emperor frowned and was about to speak when he saw seven cracks suddenly appear in the void. Seven old men came in through the fog. The green-haired old man in the front had nine skulls hanging around his waist. He was the You King who had disappeared for a thousand years. Legend has it that he had used 100,000 souls to refine the "Nine You Lanterns". At this moment, each of the skulls' eyes was staring at Shi Hao, with greedy You fire dancing in their pupils.

"Venerable Qianxi?" Someone recognized the fat monk. The "卍" embroidered on his cassock was composed of countless Sanskrit characters, and each stroke contained the power of rebirth. He put his hands together, but he couldn't hide the vajra stick exposed from his sleeves - it was a killing weapon forged with the karmic fire of the eighteen levels of hell.

"My old friends, how are you?" The Human Emperor turned around, and the phantom of the real dragon behind him opened his huge mouth, forcing back the aura of King You's Nine Nether Lamp by three points. "Why don't you let me handle today's matter?" Before he finished speaking, the Sky-Swallowing Bird suddenly let out a sharp cry. The little red bird took the opportunity to pick up the square box and turned into a meteor and flew towards Jiang Han.

"Looking for death!" Qiongqi and Zhu Yan attacked at the same time, the Nether Ghost Fire and the Heaven-Flipping Stick cut through the sky, weaving a death net behind the little red bird. Jiang Han sighed, raised his hand and sprinkled thirty-six rays of starlight, each of which accurately hit the "Qi Hai Point" of the beast. Qiongqi groaned, and the magic mist was ignited by the starlight, emitting a burnt smell; Zhu Yan's iron stick even broke directly, revealing the fragments of the "Dinghai Shenzhen" hidden inside.

When the little red bird fell into Shi Hao's arms, its feathers had faded to grayish white, but it was still tightly biting the square box in its mouth. Shi Hao gently stroked its back, and the Supreme Bone on his chest suddenly resonated, shattering the runes on the bird's wounds one by one. Everyone was surprised to see that the runes gathered in the air to form the three words "Fire Phoenix", which was the emblem of the Fire Clan 100,000 years ago.

“So that’s how it is.” Jiang Han murmured to himself. He finally understood why the four evil beasts were fighting for this thing regardless of their lives - the remains of the gods in the square box were actually the “Heavenly Fire” left behind when the Fire Phoenix was reborn. It could be said to be a twin treasure made in heaven with Shi Hao’s Supreme Bone.

“Your Majesty,” King You said sinisterly, “I’m afraid that the things in this square box are not something you can monopolize, right?” He raised his hand and waved, and nine Nine Nether Lanterns flew out, setting up the “Nine Nether King Treasure Tripod Formation” around Shi Hao. “Why not let us study it together, so that we can contribute to the Barren Domain’s resistance to disaster?”

"Bullshit!" Shi Zhongtian swung his broken mace at King You, but was blocked by the vajra of Venerable Qianxi. For a moment, the three forces of the Human Emperor, King You, and Venerable Qianxi confronted each other, and the spiritual energy riot over the imperial capital almost caused a tsunami.

"Stop it." Jiang Han finally spoke, his voice was not loud but as loud as a bell. He raised his hand and flicked it, and the Nine Nether Light Array and the Vajra flew backwards at the same time. "The remains of the gods have their own owners, you can't force them." As he said this, he pointed his finger at the square box, and the Pangu bone opened automatically, revealing the beating fire inside - the fire was perfectly matched with the supreme bone pattern on Shi Hao's chest, turning into a yin-yang fish pattern and slowly rotating.

When the fire entered Shi Hao's body, a dragon roar suddenly sounded from the underground of the imperial capital. Everyone saw a giant dragon condensed by spiritual energy breaking out of the ground, and the dragon head was exactly the appearance of Shi Hao. The giant dragon opened its huge mouth and swallowed the remaining breath of the four evil spirits, the Nine Nether Lamp of the Nether King, and the Vajra of the Qianxi Venerable into its belly. In the sky, four ancient seal characters of "Great Harmony in the World" appeared.

"Is this the Human Emperor Seal?" The Human Emperor looked at the mark that appeared between Shi Hao's eyebrows in shock. It was the mark of the founding emperor of the Shi Kingdom, but now it was perfectly integrated with the Supreme Bone and the remains of the Heavenly God to form a new "Heavenly Dao Seal". He suddenly remembered the second half of the revelation of the Taichu Ancient Mine: "The one who obtains the Supreme Bone controls reincarnation, and the one who obtains the Heavenly God Bone controls the Heavenly Dao. Only when the two are combined can one become the true Human Emperor."

The little red bird chirped softly in Shi Hao's palm, and its feathers turned fiery red again. It looked up at Jiang Han, with gratitude in its eyes. Jiang Han smiled slightly, and a jade bottle flew out of his sleeve, which contained three drops of chaotic spiritual energy: "Go, go to the Nanhuang Volcano to reshape your body. If you become successful in the future, don't forget to protect your little master." (End of this chapter)
