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

Chapter 468: Skyhorn Ant Cave Mansion

"・・・"

The mountaintop was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

That seemingly effortless action was not as if it had lifted the Primordial Mother Cauldron that could crush the galaxy, but rather as if it had casually shattered some invisible barrier in everyone's mind regarding the concept of "power."

After a brief silence, an even more turbulent undercurrent surged within everyone's heart.

Cao Yusheng rubbed his chubby face vigorously and muttered, "My goodness... really... really like holding a spatula? Am I still half asleep?"

The ant next to him was completely dumbfounded. Its forelegs, which it had been holding, had been put down at some point. Its small body stood frozen in place, its golden eyes filled with bewilderment and a shock that had overturned its worldview.

It opened its mouth, as if to say something to uphold its dignity, but found that it couldn't utter a single word.

That effortless ease, compared to Shi Hao's previous strenuous effort, stirred a deep-seated tremor within it, and... an incredible feeling.

The bowing of several veteran leaders brought this silent shock to its peak.

They represent the rules and ancient will of this place, and their respect is the most unquestionable recognition of Shi An's strength.

Shi Hao took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, his eyes filled with a mixture of fighting spirit and admiration.

He strode over to Shi An, grinning, "Brother An, I knew it!"

Shi An merely nodded slightly in response, then glanced at the young supreme beings with their varied expressions before finally looking at the veteran leader and saying, "Thank you for leading the way, senior!"

Upon hearing this, the leader immediately straightened up. His gaze beneath the armor covering his face remained deep, but the complex and indescribable emotions seemed to have subsided.

He said no more, but simply made a "please" gesture before turning and heading towards another celestial mountain shrouded in a mystical aura.

Seeing this, Shi An and Shi Hao immediately followed side by side.

"Wait for me!"

Only then did the little ant wake up as if from a dream. Seeing the two about to enter its father's cave, it forgot its shock, let out a shriek, and transformed into a golden light, darting away in a flash.

Clearly, although it expressed its dissatisfaction, deep down it was filled with an irrepressible curiosity about the being that could lift the Yuanmu Cauldron so easily.

One of the nine immortal mountains has a particularly large number of caves, like a honeycomb, from which wisps of immortal mist constantly rise, making it appear hazy and full of the aura of immortals.

Led by the veteran leader, the Shi brothers arrived here.

In addition, others also followed to this place, but they could only watch from the outside and could not get close, because further ahead was the location of the Heavenly Horned Ant's burrow, and they could not approach it because they had not passed the test.

On the celestial mountain, in front of a cave shrouded in celestial mist, Shi Hao gazed at the deep passage before him, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

But when he turned his head and saw several veteran soldiers guarding the city, he suddenly remembered something and whispered to Shi An, "Brother An, these veterans seem... to know you?"

Upon hearing this, Shi An couldn't help but turn his head, glancing at the armored figures, while a faint smile appeared on his lips: "It wasn't me."

To be honest, he was quite surprised when he was first stared at by the veteran leader.

At the time, he thought that he would also travel through the Immortal Ancient Era like Shi Hao and have some interaction with him.

But just as he was thinking this, the spirit of the three-pointed double-edged sword within him told him that it had just released a slight amount of energy, which was why the other party reacted that way.

"Not you? Then it is..."

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, but seeing that Shi An did not say anything more, he wisely refrained from asking further questions.

His elder brother had far more secrets than he knew, so there must be a reason why Brother An said that.

"Hey! Are you guys coming in or not?" Just then, the impatient voice of the little ant rang out.

Although the little guy still had an arrogant look on his face, when he looked at Shi An, there was a clear hint of undisguised awe in his golden eyes.

"Let's go and see what mysteries this senior of the Ten Fiends has in his cave."

Shi An stepped into the misty cave entrance.

Inside the stone mountain, it's like a huge maze, with countless ancient caves connected together, making it easy to get lost.

This is the habitat of the horned ant, and a very important ancient underground palace.

The two people and the little ant wandered around inside for a whole day, finally exploring every corner, but still couldn't find the Immortal Scripture.

However, there are some rare and precious items inside, but they are all as heavy as the heavens and very difficult to move.

Of course, Shi An did have a solution: to bring it into the Purple Spirit Domain.

But now he doesn't know if these magical items are a backup plan left by the Heavenly Horned Ants to activate this ancient city.

Secondly, he already possesses the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Sword and the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc, two Immortal King artifacts, so he is not lacking in immortal items for the time being.

"Speaking of which, as the son of the Heavenly Horned Ant, don't you have any useful information about the Immortal Scripture, such as where it is hidden?"

Unable to find anything, Shi Hao finally couldn't help but ask the little ant.

However, the little ant was equally annoyed by this problem. With its golden claws on its hips, it said with dissatisfaction, "Hmph! If I knew, would you still be the ones searching for me? I would have already mastered the Undying Scripture and swept across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!"

But as soon as it finished speaking, it widened its big eyes and muttered, "Actually, there's another place. Do you dare to come with me?"

"Come on, you're still hiding things?!"

Upon hearing that there was another place, Shi Hao's eyes immediately lit up, and he became alert.

Then, he grabbed the little ant by the back of its neck and made as if to rush into that unknown place.

Deep within the cave, there is an ancient path leading to a stone wall.

When the little ant arrived here, it gently touched the small, still-growing golden horn on its head with the small protrusion on its head.

"boom!"

The next moment, the stone wall slowly reacted, and finally a crack appeared, revealing an ancient door.

Seeing this, Shi Hao couldn't wait to step into it.

"What is this place?"

But the next moment, he froze on the spot, his hair standing on end.

This place is like hell, covered in blood, scales and feathers, and filled with a terrifying pressure.

Standing here, Shi Hao felt as if his body was about to collapse and disintegrate!
However, he soon realized that these were clearly the blood and scales of supreme beings!
Furthermore, he saw the leg of an ant, golden with intricate patterns, seemingly capable of crushing the entire world.

Finally, he saw the head of an ant, which, even after countless ages, still shone with golden light, like a giant sun lying there!

"Lord Skyhorn Ant?!"

Shi Hao gasped in shock and couldn't help but shout.

Where is this place? Is this the final, desperate place where Lord Skyhorn Ant perished along with his many enemies?
