Chapter 98 Martial Ancestor's Legacy
Xu Hao stepped into the dark gold gate.
The darkness before their eyes did not last long; the surrounding space seemed to be brutally torn apart and reassembled by a pair of giant hands.
Once he had a firm footing, he found himself in a boundless starry sky.
There was no solid ground beneath my feet, only a long, churning, dark red river.
The river water was viscous and exuded a terrifyingly violent energy.
This is not water; it is pure qi and blood in their purest form.
Xu Hao had just taken a breath when a piercing itch shot through his broken ribs.
The aura overflowing from the long river forcefully penetrated his meridians through his pores, and his originally parched inner strength and blood, like a wild dog that had been starving for ten days smelling meat, instantly boiled over.
"This place is much better than the secret realm created by Luo Zhenfeng and his gang of old bastards in the Chenhuang Realm." Xu Hao grinned, pulling at the scabs on his face.
He crouched down, wondering if he could use his storage bag to collect some river water to take back to Chen Yuanzhi and Lao Luo, when suddenly the depths of the starry sky twisted violently.
A majestic, ethereal figure slowly coalesced.
The face was obscured, but the figure seemed to hold up the entire starry sky.
Even with just a silhouette revealed, an indescribable martial will descended upon us like a mountain crashing down.
Click click click.
Xu Hao's bones, which had just begun to heal from the nourishment of qi and blood, once again emitted a series of bursts of sound as they succumbed to the strain.
boom!
With his knees bent, Xu Hao almost knelt directly on the River of Qi and Blood.
He gritted his teeth, plunging the Sea-Devouring Blade into the churning dark red river water, desperately trying to hold onto his falling body.
The veins on his forehead bulged like earthworms, and the internal energy and blood circulated wildly, forcibly straightening his bent knees inch by inch.
"Making people kneel as soon as they come in, what's wrong with them? We won't tolerate that." Xu Hao squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth.
The phantom figure lowered its head slightly.
A voice so grand it seemed capable of shattering stars exploded in Xu Hao's mind.
"The ultimate martial art shatters the void. Future generations, what path do you cultivate?"
Xu Hao raised his head and spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.
"What Dao? The Dao of living, and incidentally killing all those arrogant bastards who want to use me as a blood bag."
The phantom fell silent.
After a while, the grand voice rang out again.
This time, the oppressive feeling was less intense, replaced by a faint smile.
"That's wild enough. Chenhuang, a bunch of spiritual energy cultivators, hasn't even worn away the spirit of this world yet."
Xu Hao raised an eyebrow, pulled the Sea-Devouring Blade from the river, and pointed the tip of the blade diagonally into the void.
"So you're the Martial Ancestor who shattered the Vast World? You left a photo here just to ask this pointless question?"
'
"presumptuous."
Although the voice was reprimanding, the martial will pressing down on Xu Hao suddenly subsided.
Xu Hao suddenly felt a lightness all over his body, and with a quick step, he almost fell headfirst into the River of Qi and Blood.
He quickly steadied himself, cursing the old monster for his strange temper.
"I've left this thought behind for far too long." The illusory figure raised its hand, pointing to the long river beneath Xu Hao's feet. "Tianqing's martial arts path has been severed. They say that blood and qi are inferior to true essence, and the physical body is inferior to magic. What do you think?"
Xu Hao sneered and flicked the water droplets off the blade.
"They're talking nonsense. Even if a knife is cut into your neck, your head will still fall off."
The phantom burst into laughter, the sound of which shook the entire river of qi and blood, causing towering waves to surge.
"Well, that's a knife at your throat. Since you think they're talking nonsense, how much of this river of blood and qi can you drink?"
Xu Hao looked at the dark red swirling at his feet, licked his chapped lips, and revealed undisguised greed in his eyes.
"As long as I don't die from overeating, I'll take the whole pot."
The moment the words left his mouth, the silent mechanical notification in his mind suddenly rang out.
[A high-dimensional energy field has been detected; in-depth analysis of the blessed land scroll has begun.]
Analysis complete. Current location: Fragment of the Martial Ancestor's Preaching Platform (incomplete).
[Note: This place is the foundation of martial arts on the Tianqing Continent, the ultimate hidden foundation activated after the Zhenyuan ship devoured the core of the Yunyin Earth Vein.]
Xu Hao's head throbbed with pain from the shock, but he was secretly overjoyed.
After all that, the Martial Ancestor's legacy was swallowed up by the Zhenyuan.
This trip to the Tomb of the Sea King was absolutely fantastic!
"Take them all down, pot and all?" The illusory figure of the Martial Ancestor in the depths of the starry sky heard this arrogant statement, and his grand voice was mixed with some incomprehensible emotions.
The enormous phantom leaned forward slightly, and a pair of eyes that had been closed for countless years suddenly opened.
Two piercing gazes, almost tangible, penetrated Xu Hao's body, seeing right through him inside and out.
Click click click.
Xu Hao's knees, which had just straightened up, groaned in pain as they could no longer bear the strain.
This oppressive force was more than ten times stronger than before, as if it were going to grind his bones into dust inch by inch.
He gritted his teeth and pressed the Devouring Sea Blade, which was stuck in the River of Qi and Blood, downwards, forcefully resisting the downward force.
"The pinnacle of martial arts, how can it shatter the heavens?"
The deafening question exploded deep within Xu Hao's soul, causing blood to seep from his seven orifices.
"Breaking the sky?"
Xu Hao's mind flashed back to the group of people from the Chenhuang Realm who kept spouting phrases like "following the way of heaven" and "the way of nature."
To hell with the Heavenly Way.
Since I arrived in Tianqing, this cannibalistic place, a few months ago, the way of heaven is that whoever has the biggest fist has the final say.
When Luo Zhenfeng struck down with his palm across realms, why didn't the Heavenly Dao intervene?
He didn't resort to empty rhetoric or grand pronouncements; instead, with the support of the Devouring Sea Blade and the crushing pressure, he took a step forward.
The dark red blood and qi river water submerged his boots.
Xu Hao raised his head, meeting the gaze of the Martial Ancestor, his five fingers gripping the hilt of his sword tightly, and he grinned, his mouth full of blood, letting out a cold laugh.
"What a load of rubbish! As long as the physical body lives, one strike can shatter all laws!"
He spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with malice.
"My life is tougher than the heavens!"
These words, full of banditry yet pointing straight to the heart, echoed in the deathly silent starry sky.
The illusory image of the Martial Ancestor was stunned.
After a while, the River of Qi and Blood suddenly surged with towering waves, and the illusory figure of the Martial Ancestor let out a laugh that shook the stars.
"What a resilient life! Tianqing's martial arts are not extinct yet!"
The laughter shook the blood and qi river beneath his feet, causing it to surge into a hundred-foot-high wave. Xu Hao lost his footing and fell headfirst into it.
Xu Hao wiped the blood from his chin and pulled the Devouring Sea Blade back: "Senior, praise me as you will, but could I take something with me to carry away the blood and qi from this river? There are a few of my brothers waiting outside for dinner, they're almost starving."
"Take it away?" The illusory figure of the Martial Ancestor seemed amused by this bandit-like behavior. "This River of Blood and Qi is the foundation reserved for its inheritors. How much you can absorb depends entirely on your own destiny. Get ready!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the majestic phantom that stretched across the starry sky instantly collapsed.
Without the slightest hesitation, it transformed into a blinding golden light, like a galaxy pouring down, crashing down on Xu Hao.
"Holy crap, they didn't even give us time to prepare!"
Xu Hao only had time to utter half a curse before the golden light pierced straight into his skull.
