A person in the heavens, starting with a Chaos Emperor Dao Fruit

"It's a pity I didn't know your strength before, little one, otherwise I would have been running rampant." Shi Hao was full of regret, realizing he had been careless.

I missed out on a wonderful period of my life.

During their frantic journey, Shi Hao had already been taken by the little wooden horse to another magnificent landscape.

The scenery here is astonishing, not much different from that of the Red King's territory.

Shi Hao understood that this should be the Gu Clan's base, and one of his mission objectives, the Gu Ancestor, was inside.

Shi Hao's smugness vanished suddenly, replaced by unease.

"I have a feeling that I'm like a lamb entering a tiger's den. I just killed the Red King and came here. If the Gu Zu really betrayed me, I'll be captured immediately."

"Then being sent to the Red King and dismembered into eight pieces might be a good ending."

"No matter how I look at it, I feel that Gu Zu has already betrayed us. How could he have persisted for so long?"

"The environment in that foreign land is so wonderful, I wouldn't be able to resist the temptation either."

"I'm just a kid at the Realm of Self-Severance, why am I always being assigned such high-level tasks?"

“How hateful.”

“A child doesn’t have the ability to turn the Crimson King’s territory upside down.” An old voice rang in Shi Hao’s ears.

As time passed and space shifted, Shi Hao found himself in the deepest part of the Gu Clan's territory without anyone noticing.

In front of him was an old man who looked very old, with a withered body and little flesh, and it was clear that he had been injured.

"The Ancestor of the Crickets?" Shi Hao asked.

"Yes, it's the one you mentioned, the one who truly betrayed the Ancestor of the Gu." The Ancestor of the Gu had a smile on his old face.

Shi Hao felt a little embarrassed, not expecting that his mutterings had been overheard.

"How did you find out about me, sir?" Shi Hao changed his tune.

“You kept repeating my name outside my clan’s territory. How do you think I found you?”

The gu ancestor wore a kind smile, but his words made Shi Hao blush. He had been careless.

"Wait a minute." Shi Hao suddenly realized. "You've already advanced to Immortal King?"

The Ten Fiends are indeed the Ten Fiends, but that doesn't mean they are true Celestial Kings.

Even with one's own insignificant concealment, reciting the true name of a certain being can evoke a response from that being—a divine power possessed only by a Celestial King.

"After seeking refuge in a foreign land, I took that step."

Shi Hao's face fell. Did this mean he was being given special treatment by the alien realm?

"So, your heart..."

Gu Zu looked at Shi Hao, his face turning cold.

"Considering that I was once a being of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, I can give you a quick death."

"..." My life is over again.

Gu Zu stared coldly at Shi Hao, with fragments of time flying around him, and Shi Hao felt immense pressure.

His bones were creaking, his blood was almost stopped flowing, and his thoughts were sluggish.

A raging Dao fire ignited between heaven and earth, an astonishing sight.

Originating from time and space, it leverages the myriad paths of heaven and earth, forging Shi Hao.

In an instant, Shi Hao felt his flesh and blood wither, and the Dao principles within his body and his primordial spirit were being scorched to the point of cracking.

This time I'm really going to die...

Shi Hao never expected that the smiling Gu Zu would actually attack him.

That's absolutely shameless.

But even the shameless can't help it. The little wooden horse is only at the quasi-immortal king level, while the gu ancestor has already advanced to the immortal king level.

Even the little wooden horse couldn't stop the cricket ancestor. Huh?

Shi Hao's remaining senses suddenly realized that the little wooden horse was not moving at all, but just quietly staying by his side.

They were suppressed... Brother Yun, you miscalculated!

The myriad rules of the universe were transformed into fire, which was then applied to Shi Hao's body, making him feel as if his body no longer belonged to him.

The immense rules of heaven and earth swept over, directly pressing Shi Hao's body until it cracked and bled profusely.

His foundation shattered instantly, and the rules of heaven and earth, under the control of the Immortal King, offered no resistance.

How could someone at the Severing Self Realm possibly resist an Immortal King? The Crimson King is an exception.

With his blood stagnating, his bones shattering, and his primordial spirit being hammered by the rules of heaven and earth, Shi Hao fell into a state of thoughtlessness and numbness.

Shi Hao sat on the ground, the earth had sunk into a crater, and his whole body was covered in blood and gore, as if he was about to be crushed to death.

In terms of strength, at this moment he felt as if he was about to die, or even already dead.

Chapter 1310 Reshaping the True Self

Gu Zu looked at Shi Hao, the coldness on his face had dissipated, replaced by a look of emotion.

"I never expected that such a prodigy would appear in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

Despite his感慨 (feelings of deep emotion), the Cricket Ancestor did not stop. Suddenly, it seemed as if a celestial phoenix was softly singing.

Unlike the flames of the Ancestral Dao Fire, this was the blazing fire of the Immortal Phoenix.

Shi Hao's true form was slowly reconstructing and recovering.

However, it recovered a little, only to be further damaged by the gull ancestor. This back-and-forth struggle created a tug-of-war.

The gu ancestor's eyes flickered with surprise.

"Such mastery of the Immortal Phoenix Technique is truly beyond what a human cultivator could possess."

The gu ancestor gazed through time, comprehended cause and effect, and understood the origin, and was then taken aback.

"True bloodline of the Celestial Phoenix at the Celestial King level? Does such a thing still exist in the Nine Heavens?"

Gu Zu was surprised and doubtful. There were no Immortal Phoenixes of the Ten Fiends level in the late Immortal Ancient Era, let alone Immortal Phoenixes of the Immortal King level.

Those were things from so many years ago. Thinking about these things, Gu Zu intensified his efforts.

"Boom!" The laws of heaven and earth raged, transforming into the light of order, directly binding Shi Hao, restraining him like chains, and embedding themselves inch by inch into his flesh.

Moreover, it also entangled Shi Hao's primordial spirit, binding the Dao principles within his body and sealing everything.

Black blood splattered, its divine laws completely stripped away, turning it into worthless blood.

The Celestial Phoenix Technique operates spontaneously, resisting damage from the outside world.

This is Shi Hao's mastery of the Immortal Phoenix Treasure Technique; it has become almost instinctive, allowing him to automatically recover from injuries.

Unfortunately, the methods from the Gu Zu were too extraordinary, preventing the Immortal Phoenix Treasure Technique from achieving its full potential.

However, something strange happened.

The divine light of myriad orders intertwined with the broken Dao principles within Shi Hao's body, gradually connecting those broken Dao principles.

The two sides are showing signs of merging.

"Truly a peerless genius, a rare talent in this era." Gu Zu, who had been observing Shi Hao's condition, nodded.

He looked at the little rocking horse next to him and talked to it, but the little rocking horse still had the same attitude.

Read, aloof, no reply. Time flows on, the fire of the Dao never dies, the light of the Great Dao's order never dims.

But Shi Hao's body was glowing; every inch of his flesh, his primordial spirit, and every strand of the Dao was radiating light.

Shi Hao, whose life had been fading, suddenly felt a tenacious vitality rise up and gradually flourish.

"Boom!" At a certain moment, the divine light of the Great Dao soared into the sky, directly shattering all the shackles and causing the Dao Fire to teeter on the verge of extinction.

Shi Hao's aura suddenly surged from a low point to a high point, even surpassing the previous peak.

An even more terrifying aura of the Great Dao rose from his body, and the external rules could no longer affect his foundation.

Compared to the rules of the external world, the Dao principles within his body are as solid as immortal gold, and cannot be shaken at all.

Shi Hao suddenly opened his eyes, and his thoughts, ideas, and spiritual awareness all returned.

The Dao principles burst forth from his eyes, transforming into a celestial sword that cleaved through the void.

In an instant, Shi Hao sensed his current physical condition, which was better and stronger than ever before.

His own foundation was already incredibly strong, unmatched by anyone.

The defects caused by the external environment have now been addressed, allowing us to reach a new level!

He underwent the baptism of the complete Great Dao of another realm, reversing everything, reshaping his true form, and becoming completely perfect and flawless.

His cultivation level also increased significantly, and his combat power became unparalleled, much stronger than he had been not long ago.

At the same time, after coming into contact with and comparing the complete rules of heaven and earth, Shi Hao gained a deeper understanding of the path of using his body as a seed and took a step forward.

Shi Hao stood up, looked at the Gu Zu, and bowed deeply.

"Thank you for your help, senior, in restoring my true form to perfection."

By now, he knew perfectly well that Gu Zu had not betrayed him, had not intended to harm him, and had simply helped him out.

Gu Zu, though physically in a foreign land, still yearns for the heavens. His patriotic heart remains unchanged! Brother Yun, you weren't wrong!

"You're quite good. I wasn't as good as you when I was young." Gu Zu nodded, giving Shi Hao full recognition.

"With such a prodigy as you in the heavens and earth, there is hope."

"Hehe, Willow God, True Dragon Lord, Heavenly Horned Ant Lord, and Holy King Ancestor all said the same thing." Shi Hao "shyly" accepted the praise from the Gu Ancestor.

When the elders of Xian Gu met him, they all said the same thing. So many compliments made him very shy.

Gu Zu was taken aback; the names Shi Hao mentioned left him somewhat puzzled.

Aside from Liu Shen, who seemed somewhat unfamiliar to him, he knew everyone else. But weren't they all dead?

"It seems that during my time in this foreign land, some things happened in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths that I was unaware of," Gu Zu said with a smile.

"Indeed, some very interesting things have happened, and there is new hope in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths." Shi Hao nodded.

However, Gu Zu did not ask about the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but instead asked Shi Hao first.

"If I'm not mistaken, you are the one who made a name for yourself in the borderlands and killed several members of the imperial clan, right?"

It's clear that Gu Zu has been secretly keeping an eye on the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths all along, since he didn't actually betray them.

Shi Hao nodded, "A meager achievement, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."

Looking at Shi Hao's expression, Gu Zu found it amusing. You don't look like someone who's insignificant.

"What brings you to this foreign land?"

"You should know that it is very risky for someone with your current cultivation level to venture into another realm."

A cultivator at the Severing Self Realm came to this foreign land and even stirred up trouble in the territory of the Crimson King Clan.

Even having a special quasi-immortal king artifact is far too risky.

Upon hearing the question posed by the Gu Zu, Shi Hao gritted his teeth. "The elders' task..."

Although he was not actually harmed and even gained many benefits.

However, the journey was truly filled with fear and trepidation.

Shi Hao was already thinking about asking Yun Hua for compensation for emotional distress when he got back.

Gu Zu looked at Shi Hao and gently shook his head.

“Your elders are also willing to send you to a foreign land for training at your current level of cultivation.”

"May I ask you the name of my elder? I might recognize him."

Shi Hao answered decisively, "Yunhua."

Who is Yunhua?

A look of confusion flashed across Gu Zu's face. There was a powerful figure named Yun Hua in the Immortal Ancient Era?
