Chapter 169 A Second Blossom, The Wounded Bull Head
"Huh?" The other five heroes of the Eastern Pole Region only realized what was happening after seeing the hunched old woman's departing figure.

Then, without hesitation, they scattered and fled.

They didn't even bother with the various array bases and precious materials that hadn't yet been collected.

There's no way we can fight this battle!

Who could have imagined that Xu Hao could break through the Demon-Slaying Array?

Despite his powerful cultivation and the protection of a top-tier spirit-level demon-slaying array, the middle-aged scholar was still killed.

If it were them, they wouldn't have the slightest chance of winning either.

They even regretted coming.

Why get involved in this mess?

The Cui family of the Eastern Region did not take the initiative to attack because they were wary of Xu Hao's cultivation and strength.

They were full of confidence because they had a spirit-level array.

Now, it has ended up in complete disintegration.

Whoosh.

Just as the seven heroes of the Eastern Extreme Region were fleeing in a frenzy, streaks of light shot out.

With each rise and fall, someone incredulously clutched their chest and then suddenly collapsed to the ground.

"Is this a magic artifact above the Spirit Rank?"

The hunched old woman stared in astonishment at the huge hole in her chest, her life force rapidly fading away.

She had spirit-level armor and thought she would be the first to escape, but the spirit-level armor was as thin as a cicada's wing against that flowing light.

This is definitely a magic artifact above the Spirit Rank.

"I never expected that this demon-sealing area in Mount Shu would contain a treasure of the Dao-entering level. Could it be that it could withstand the bombardment of the Demon-Slaying Array? It's too strong!" The hunched old woman sighed silently, completely losing her life.

Whoosh whoosh.

The other seven heroes of the Eastern Pole Region didn't escape far either; they were pierced through the head or chest by the space shuttle and died instantly.

"Sigh, with so few people, they didn't even have enough fun!" Xu Hao sighed.

He simply withstood the heavenly lightning with his own body, and as a result, the opponent ran out of options.

Xu Hao looked at the sky and saw that the Demon-Slaying Array was attacking haphazardly without the guidance of the main array master. He casually waved his hand, and his true energy surged, bombarding all directions.

In an instant, the foundation of the Demon-Slaying Array was destroyed by the true energy.

Chi Chi Chi.

The once surging demon-slaying formation, like a source without roots, flickered with lightning a few times before dissipating into nothingness.

Xu Hao took a step and rushed towards the location of the corpses of the Seven Heroes of the Eastern Extreme Region, putting them one by one into his backpack on the virtual panel.

Soon, Xu Hao stepped into the air and headed towards the Xu Family's Zhenguo Duke's Mansion.

"Thank you, Duke Xu!"

"The Duke of Xu is mighty!" When the lightning in the sky stopped, the other people and forces who had gathered from all sides immediately understood that the enemy had been driven back.

Now is the time to offer some compliments.

"Just what level of cultivation does the Duke of Zhenguo possess? He was able to withstand such a divine punishment-like attack. When that lightning struck, I felt like the sky was about to collapse!"

"This is a level we don't understand; it's beyond human capability!"

"I really want to be the Duke of Zhenguo's dog!"

The others were discussing amongst themselves, while Xu Hao quickly landed in the back courtyard of the Xu family.

"Master Xu!"

Xuan Qingxiao, Qin Feixue, and Tang Wan'er rushed over to greet them, their expressions a mixture of worry and admiration.

They were really worried to death before.

They even thought Xu Hao would die, but...

Xu Hao not only survived, but also resolved the problem.

Although they were unsure of the true strength of the Seven Heroes of the Eastern Region, the array they had set up before them was certainly extraordinary.

"It's alright, everyone go and rest!" Xu Hao smiled calmly.

"Young master, we want to accompany you!" Qin Feixue said, her face flushed.

Right now, all she wants is to find some comfort from Xu Hao.

"Alright, you can all come!" Xu Hao glanced at Xuan Qingxiao and Tang Wan'er and decided to take a day off for the time being.

The friendship between Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya.

A night of spring.

Xu Hao didn't get up until late the next day.

He rubbed his lower back, got up from the bed first, and then pushed open the door and went out.

Xu Hao arrived at the open space in the backyard, lined up the corpses of the seven heroes of the Eastern Extreme Region, then covered his palm with his true energy and searched for their belongings.

There wasn't much silver, and cultivation resources were extremely scarce.

Other treasures are also extremely rare.

If it weren't for the fact that they were the Seven Heroes of the Eastern Region, Xu Hao would have doubted whether these seven people were actually beggars.

The only useful things were their weapons and some armor.

Unfortunately, Xu Hao didn't think of anything else at the time and attacked directly with the space shuttle.

Many weapons were damaged under the bombardment of the space shuttle.

"These will be given to Xuan Qingxiao, Qin Feixue, and the others later!" Xu Hao took out some useful items and placed them aside.

These things may be useless to him, but they could be very useful to others.

Especially some spirit-grade magical artifacts, even if they are broken, their materials are still very useful.

Finally, Xu Hao found a spirit-level array diagram on the body of the middle-aged scholar he killed first—the Demon-Slaying Array.

After reading it, Xu Hao shook his head slightly.

Many mistakes.

He also used his physical body to withstand several bolts of lightning.

This thing is an absolute killer among spirit-level beings.

However, there are too many things to arrange, so it needs to be arranged in advance.

Most importantly, in Xu Hao's eyes, attacks from the Spirit Rank were nothing but trash.

He had no interest in searching for other array base materials, and the Brilliant Stone he had just obtained was only at the Dao Entry level, so it was impossible for him to inscribe the array patterns of the Demon Slayer Array on it.

"Young Master!" Just as Xu Hao was considering how to allocate resources, Xuan Qingxiao, Qin Feixue, and Tang Wan'er, dressed neatly, walked out of the room.

"You've come at the right time. Take a look at this and see if you can use it. Also, see if you can set up this spirit-level demon-slaying array!" Xu Hao casually beckoned to the three women.

"Are these the seven heroes of the Eastern Extremity Region who attacked last night?" Xuan Qingxiao looked at the corpses on the ground and some broken parts of magical artifacts, her expression hardening.

Judging from the damage to this magical artifact, the attackers last night must have been highly skilled.

Even so, Xu Hao's clothes were not even messed up.

Xu Hao's strength was even greater than she had imagined.

"This formation is very powerful. Perhaps by combining the resources of the imperial palace, it can be set up!" Xuan Qingxiao said immediately after examining the Demon-Slaying Formation.

The Great Xuan Dynasty also had formations, but they were large defensive formations, and their level was not high, only at the Heavenly Rank.

Now that the Demon-Slaying Array of the Spirit Rank has been acquired, the defensive capabilities of the Great Xuan Dynasty will be greatly enhanced.

"Alright, you can all take your assignments. Also, get someone to deal with these corpses!" Xu Hao said, seeing that Xuan Qingxiao and the others had made their judgment. He then assigned tasks.

Soon after, someone came to clean up the corpse on the ground.

Xu Hao chatted with Xuan Qingxiao, Qin Feixue, Tang Wan'er and others for a while, discussing the current situation, before leaving the inner courtyard and heading to the outer city road of the palace.

I just obtained a Nascent Soul level spirit crystal yesterday, but it was delayed because of the Seven Heroes of the Eastern Extreme Region.

Therefore, Xu Hao planned to seek another opportunity to reach the Nascent Soul stage, so as to avoid wasting time traveling back and forth during his cultivation. Xu Hao walked through the passage and arrived at the main road outside the palace.

This place had practically become his private domain, and even the imperial guards, under Xuan Qingxiao's orders, no longer patrolled here.

Xu Hao was happy to have some peace and quiet. After glancing around, he immediately opened the Fortune Telling panel.

[You have used an opportunity refresh point, and it is now searching for opportunities for you...]

Xu Hao waited for a moment, and a message appeared:
【Daily fortune telling.】

The defeat of the seven powerful states of the Eastern Extremity in the capital of the Great Xuan Dynasty will cause a great uproar; whether it will be a blessing or a curse remains to be seen…

The insights presented did not attract much attention from Xu Hao.

With his current cultivation level, even if it were a disaster, it would probably not attract much of his attention.

Because he is now at the pinnacle of the world.

Who is he afraid of?

Even the great demons of the sealed world might not be able to subdue him, so why would he be afraid of a mere Eastern Region?

As Xu Hao waited calmly, the divination tool began to display information about the divination positions:

[A medium-low fortune. At 1:15 PM, go to the No. 79 courtyard of the Imperial Palace and use the Domain-Breaking Seal to break through the seal of the space. You will then obtain a Nascent Soul level opportunity.]

However, this area contains boundless Yin energy, making it easily susceptible to erosion and leaving hidden dangers. [Minor Misfortune]

[If you win the lottery, do nothing, and after a night, everything will be calm. Everything will be stable, no worries, and peace.]

[Auspicious sign: At 1:15 PM, go 260 meters south of Weiyang Lake and use the Domain-Breaking Seal to open it, and you will obtain a Nascent Soul level opportunity.]

However, your repeated attempts to seize opportunities from another world will attract unwanted attention and create significant karmic consequences. For now, all is well.

[Due to your current status and cultivation level, you can search for mid-level sealed Nascent Soul stage opportunities. Please improve your status and cultivation level.]

"Three more draws! Awesome!"

Xu Hao looked at the three draw positions presented and was overjoyed.

not bad.

Xu Hao immediately turned his gaze over and examined it carefully.

The news of the poorly drawn ticket made Xu Hao frown slightly.

Because although this is a sealed space, surprisingly, the weasel has nothing to do with it.

"Is there a risk of being corrupted? I'm at the Dao Entry Realm now, could this thing be Yin Sha Power at the Nascent Soul level?" Xu Hao withdrew his gaze and continued reading.

If the situation is unclear for now, let's look at the information for other slots first.

The best fortune slip clearly stated that he was going to obtain an opportunity in another world, and this time the distance was only one meter away from the location where he obtained the opportunity to become a Nascent Soul cultivator last time.

"A coincidence?" Xu Hao's gaze shifted.

The timing of the less favorable and the most favorable fortunes conflicted, leaving him unable to choose between them and forcing him to select only one opportunity.

So, anything risky is naturally out of the question. However, Xu Hao felt that since he had just seized a Nascent Soul level opportunity from another world, going there again now would only lead to greater karmic consequences.

Xu Hao made his choice very quickly.

As the saying goes, live in the moment.

Only when you are strong enough can you avoid any consequences affecting you!
We’ll talk about the future in the future.

Xu Hao immediately rushed to Weiyang Lake, then dived in and landed 260 meters south of Weiyang Lake, where he began to inscribe the Breaking Domain Seal.

Meanwhile, in another world, a group of monsters are digging, while a minotaur is venting his anger on the hard ore with a murderous look on his face.

It had just unearthed a treasure yesterday, at least at the Nascent Soul level, when a hand appeared out of nowhere and snatched it away.

This is a huge blow to it.

Even the local monsters talked about it during their leisure time, which made it extremely unhappy.

Despite the frustration, mining must continue.

Because it couldn't find the culprit at all, and at the same time, it was deeply wary of it.

The treasures that can be seized within the territory controlled by the Demon King are definitely not ordinary items.

It could only briefly inform the overseer before continuing to dig in this area.

Hey...whoosh...

Ding.

Another crisp sound rang out.

The minotaur slammed its pickaxe into a hard object once more, causing its hand to tremble involuntarily.

"There's more treasure?" The minotaur felt the power from the pickaxe and his face lit up with ecstasy.

I missed out on a treasure yesterday, thinking it was just bad luck, but I never expected to find one today.

Moreover, judging from the hardness transmitted by the pickaxe, this is clearly another opportunity at the Nascent Soul stage.

The minotaur blinked its enormous eyes, cautiously scanning its surroundings, then quickly swung its pickaxe.

Last time, its peaches were stolen, and this time, it absolutely will not allow its treasure to be taken away again.

A faint demonic aura enveloped the pickaxe, and it began to dig rapidly.

Hey...whoosh...

The minotaur worked with all his might, hammering away with each pickaxe, until a crimson hue appeared on the massive ore.

"What is this?" The minotaur's pupils contracted.

This thing is the main treasure of this mining area.

It's also the Demon King's favorite. If you can mine it, you'll never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life.

Even after opening the connection to one of the worlds, it doesn't have to be used as cannon fodder.

The minotaur channeled its demonic power to the fullest extent, and even used its massive body to block the view of the ore, preventing thieves and other miners from digging together.

When.

Just as the minotaur was digging out a large, reddish-brown ore the size of a watermelon, the hour of Wei (1-3 PM) arrived.

At this moment, at the bottom of Weiyang Lake outside, Xu Hao had completed the final wave of the Breaking Domain Seal patterns.

The next second, the surging energy spread out, piercing through space and simultaneously piercing through the demonic power released by the minotaur.

"Hmm?" The Tauren, who had been on high alert, immediately sensed the unusual change.

Because it faced that situation yesterday.

In that instant, it unleashed all of its energy.

They wanted to lock down the area to stop the thieves.

But the next second, a hand emerged from the spatial ripples and grabbed the watermelon-sized, crimson ore that had not yet been fully mined.

"No, then mine...!"

The minotaur saw the other party grab the ore and flash by, and immediately roared loudly, his already surging energy covering the other party.

boom.

The immense energy struck the ore vein, unleashing a powerful boom and kicking up a cloud of debris and dust.

But after the smoke and dust cleared, the ground was empty.

All that was left was a hole the size of a watermelon.

It shows that a treasure once existed here.

"How is this possible?" The minotaur was filled with incomprehension and resentment.

Its demonic power couldn't stop it at all, and the ore was still halfway connected to the vein and hadn't been completely mined out yet!
How did they manage to grab me so easily?

Unfortunately, no matter how angry the minotaurs were, the space was beyond repair.

"What's going on?" A supervisor had already noticed the situation.
