Perfect: I am Shi An from Shicun, and I am Huang’s brother!

Chapter 328 Immortal Qi Shattered

"It's done!"

Gazing at the immortal aura surrounding Shi Hao, Huo Ling'er's pupils widened instantly, her eyes filled with surprise and excitement. She couldn't help but cheer, "Shi Hao, you've really cultivated immortal aura! That's amazing!"

Yunxi couldn't help but hold her breath, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a strange light, and she murmured softly, "As expected of a mischievous child, always able to defy common sense."

It should be known that, according to the records of the Celestial Academy, countless brilliant talents throughout history have fallen at this point, their bodies and souls extinguished.

Even if there are occasional successes, they have accumulated over several lifetimes before finally succeeding. But Shi Hao succeeded in just one lifetime, which shocked everyone.

That wisp of celestial aura, as pure as moonlight and as deep as the Milky Way, gently surrounded Shi Hao, making him appear as if he were an immortal descended to earth.

This is a symbol of the Tao giving birth to One, and it is the true essence of the immortal Tao!

The God-Slaying Stone on the side even clamored that it would go back and teach the various sects a lesson, seize the divine ingredients, and use them as an after-dinner snack.

Only the Void Heaven Divine Vine trembled as it warned, "Don't be careless. The closer you get to success, the more dangerous it becomes. Unexpected changes may occur again."

This isn't just something it's making up; it's something it experienced firsthand, something that still haunts it to this day!
However, regardless of the circumstances, Shi Hao succeeded in cultivating immortal energy. Although he himself suffered unimaginable injuries and nearly died, not only was his body charred black, but his internal organs and bones were also on the verge of collapse.

Fortunately, with Shi An's timely treatment and the nourishment of that wisp of immortal energy, he eventually pulled through without serious injury.

However, to the fear and anger of those present, before Shi Hao had even recovered to his peak condition, the ancient lamp reappeared, drifting in from the void.

The gray fog reappeared, surging out from outside the three thousand bluestone paths like a vast ocean. In the blink of an eye, it enveloped the stone steps where Shi Hao was once again, and this time it was even denser and more expansive than the previous two times, with a terrifying aura that was so oppressive that it was suffocating.

In an instant, Huo Ling'er, Yun Xi, and Cao Yusheng, Taiyin Yutu, Yue Chan, and others who had just arrived after hearing the news all shivered involuntarily, feeling a chill from head to toe.

It was a terrifying experience, as if an unparalleled monster was about to break through the fog and devour everything, leaving people suffocating and filled with despair.

"Shi Hao, watch out!"

Huo Ling'er exclaimed in surprise, her eyes filled with worry.

"I'm fine, Ling'er, stay back and don't get caught in the crossfire!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao first told the other party to step back, then swallowed a divine fruit given to him by Shi An in one gulp. After barely recovering some of his energy, he looked up at the increasingly dense gray fog, his eyes filled with intense fighting spirit.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!..."

At the same time, a series of footsteps came from within the gray fog. Although they were not heavy, they felt as if they were stepping on everyone's hearts, which was extremely terrifying.

Immediately afterwards, a tall and imposing demonic figure emerged from within, its steps resembling those of a divine drum.

That wasn't all; figures appeared from other directions as well, all radiating boundless light and flames, like god-kings descending.

"What's going on? How come so many people have arrived all at once?!"

Huo Ling'er and Da Shen Shi were both shocked as they stared at the groups of demonic figures in the sky.

Based on the previous situation, each of these demonic figures was as strong as Shi Hao. With so many of them coming at once, they were leaving him no way out!
Even Cao Yusheng, Taiyin Yutu, Qingyi, and the others who had just arrived couldn't help but turn pale. Although they were new and unaware of the previous situation, the aura emanating from the other party made it clear to even a fool that these demonic figures were no ordinary beings.

Each of them exudes a heart-pounding aura, as if they were forbidden beings from ancient legends, having crossed time and space to suppress all challengers.

"Wild, we're here to help you!"

After the initial shock, Cao Yusheng immediately shouted and rushed forward to help. Upon hearing this, the Taiyin Jade Rabbit beside him also moved immediately, preparing to assist Shi Hao.

"do not go."

But before the two could move, Shi An, who had been quietly observing the gray mist, immediately reached out and stopped them: "This is his tribulation. If you go over there, you will not only fail to help him, but you will also harm him."

"how come?!"

Upon hearing Shi An's words, Cao Yusheng and Taiyin Yutu froze, staring blankly in Shi Hao's direction.

As for whether Shi An was lying to them, the two of them wouldn't even consider that.

After all, the other party is Huang's brother, what reason would they have to lie to them?

At the same time, Shi Hao also spoke from the stone steps: "Fatty, Little Rabbit, don't interfere. This is my own tribulation, and I need to overcome it myself!"

"shortage······"

Seeing that Shi Hao himself said so, Cao Yusheng and Taiyin Yutu, though full of worry, could only stop and step aside, nervously watching where Shi Hao was.

They knew that Shi Hao was right. This was his battle, and external intervention would only disturb his Dao heart, and might even plunge him into an abyss of no return.

The gray mist surged like a raging sea, and the demonic figures drew closer and closer. Each step they took seemed to tread on the souls of the crowd, shaking them to the point of shattering their spirits.

Some of them are as dazzling as rainbows, some are as black as ink, and some are so blurry as to be invisible; each one is different.

"What...what exactly is that?"

As the approaching demonic figure drew ever closer, the Moon Jade Rabbit's beautiful eyes were filled with terror. She instinctively moved closer to Qingyi, her small hands tightly gripping her sleeve.

Qingyi didn't speak, but her expression was equally solemn, and her divine power was quietly circulating within her body, ready to respond at any moment.

"No wonder there have been so few who have cultivated immortality throughout history!"

At the same time, on the stone steps, Shi Hao couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. Although Shi An's divine fruit was rapidly restoring his body, what good was it even if he was at his peak in the face of such a situation?

With so many adversaries, no weaker than him, attacking at once, what can he possibly fight back with?
The road ahead is so difficult; there is almost no hope in sight.

But he quickly calmed down again. No matter what, he had already come this far, and he had to try his best so as not to have any regrets.

Thinking this, Shi Hao couldn't help but recall the immortal energy within his body, wanting to test its wonders.

However, to Shi Hao's utter surprise, the immortal energy within his body had actually... disconnected.

Indeed, the ethereal aura that had surrounded him, as pure as moonlight and as deep as the Milky Way, was now like a thread severed by a sharp blade, splitting into many strands.

Although it still lingered around him, it had lost its connection with him, as if it had detached itself from him.

"How could this be?"

For a moment, not only Shi Hao, but also Huo Ling'er, Cao Yusheng, and even Yun Xi were stunned.

It's not only unusable, but it's also broken!
