Primordial Era: At the beginning, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor invited me to drink beast milk, and

This wave of sound swept across the heavens and earth, causing mountains and rivers to tremble.

Countless buildings were reduced to dust under the impact of the sound waves, the earth cracked, and rivers flowed backward.

The old man spoke again: "Remnants of the Stone Clan, stop pretending to be deaf and dumb. Show yourselves and fight, and we might leave you with your corpses intact."

This time, the sound waves were even more terrifying.

The mountains within a radius of ten thousand miles collapsed, and countless lives were turned into blood mist in the sound waves.

The entire world trembled under this terrifying power.

This scene completely enraged Shi Hao.

He suddenly soared into the sky, and runes of law appeared behind him.

These runes intertwined to form a net, creating a massive protective shield that protected the remaining creatures below.

"stop!!"

Shi Hao was engulfed in golden flames.

"You beings from the upper realms are far too cruel!"

The old man raised his hand and waved it, and a divine light swept over.

Shi Hao did not back down. His body surged with the power of laws, and he took the blow head-on.

His body was knocked back hundreds of feet, but he quickly regained his footing.

Qin Yuan stood at a distance, a slight smile playing on his lips.

In the past, he would never have let Shi Hao take such a risk.

But Shi Hao is no longer the same as before; he has reached the Venerable Realm.

During this period, Shi Hao had been cultivating in seclusion at the Dao Asking Pavilion, and his breakthrough speed was astonishing.

The old man sized up Shi Hao and, upon discovering that he was merely at the Venerable Realm, immediately lost interest.

He casually unleashed a divine power, intending to suppress this arrogant junior.

Shi Hao remained completely still.

He formed hand seals, and the power of the laws of heaven and earth gathered wildly.

The power of those laws condensed into a giant sword in his hand, radiating an astonishing sharpness.

Upon seeing this, the silver-haired young man couldn't help but sneer.

"How dare a mere Venerable One act so presumptuously here?"

The skeletal deity shook his head: "He's courting death."

But Qin Yuan knew that Shi Hao was no ordinary Venerable.

Back in the Stone Realm, Shi Hao, at only the Array Formation Realm, was able to set up a terrifying killing trap, burying countless gods from the lower realms.

He is now a completely different person from before.

Suddenly, an ancient jade stone appeared in the old man's hand, its entire surface a pale blue color.

This jade may look ordinary, but it contains a terrifying Daoist aura.

The moment the jade stone approached Shi Hao, it suddenly emitted a dazzling blood-red light.

A sinister smile crept across the old man's face.

"As expected, you are descendants of the Stone Clan's sinful bloodline. Today, I will slaughter you all!"

He made a hand seal with one hand, and the jade in his other hand suddenly shattered.

Countless crimson light spots condensed in the void, transforming into a strange flame—the Flame of Life.

The flames were dark red, and it seemed as if countless wronged souls were wailing within them.

The old man had studied the Stone Clan's bloodline in detail and knew that although their physical bodies were powerful, even stronger than those of the pure-blooded Stone Clan, what they feared most was the Flame of Life.

The ball of flame rapidly expanded, transforming into a sea of ​​fire.

Countless faces emerged from the sea of ​​fire, all of them the dying expressions of the slaughtered beings.

These faces were twisted and grotesque, filled with endless resentment.

The old man formed a hand seal: "Fire of resentment from living beings, burn away all sins and blood!"

The sea of ​​fire surged toward Shi Hao like a tidal wave.

Wherever it passed, the void was burned into nothingness.

This is no ordinary flame; it is a terrifying entity formed from the resentment of countless living beings on their deathbeds.

Faced with this strange flame of life, Shi Hao felt a strong sense of crisis.

Instead of confronting him head-on, he used the Kunpeng Escape Technique.

He transformed into a streak of rainbow light and vanished from the spot in an instant.

The old man struck out with his palm, causing the void to tremble, but Shi Hao had already fled thousands of miles away.

Since learning the Kunpeng Technique, Shi Hao's speed has increased several times over.

Even when facing an elder whose level of cultivation far surpassed his own, he remained completely at ease.

The old man relentlessly pursued him, his flames of life sweeping across the heavens and earth, but Shi Hao always managed to dodge them one step ahead.

In the chase, the two had already traversed tens of thousands of miles.

Shi Hao moved freely through the void, just like a fish swimming in water.

The old man was enraged when Shi Hao easily dodged his attacks several times.

"How dare you, a mere ant from the lower realm, play tricks on me!"

Just then, the old man suddenly changed the direction of his attack.

With a change of hand seals, the terrifying flames of life swept towards the nearby Blue Stone City.

Shi Hao was shocked: "Stop!"

But it was too late; the flames of life had already poured down.

Before the hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in Qing Shi City could react, they were engulfed by the terrible flames.

The flames of resentment burned wildly across every inch of the land, turning houses, streets, and fields to ashes.

The screams of the people in the city rose and fell.

In a short time, the bustling city of Qing Shi was reduced to ashes.

Those creatures that were burned were not only destroyed in body and spirit, but even their souls were refined by the flames of life and became nourishment for the flames.

The old man stood with his hands behind his back, a calculating smile playing on his lips.

He knew the Shi clan's character all too well, especially their younger generation, who were most easily swayed by emotions.

Sure enough, Shi Hao had already fallen for it.

That old fox is using the lives of the city's people to force Shi Hao to show himself.

Moreover, the resentment these mortals feel before they die, after being consumed by the flames of life, will make the flames even more terrifying.

The devastation in the city continued to spread, with countless people struggling in the inferno.

Their flesh and souls are being refined by the flames, and with each death, the flames of life grow stronger.

Shi Hao could no longer restrain himself, and countless blood-red runes appeared on his body.

These runes intertwined, forming a massive blood-red barrier.

Shi Hao roared and transformed into a streak of blood-red light, plunging into the sea of ​​fire.

The power of his blood and qi surged wildly, forcibly repelling the surrounding flames of life.

Shi Hao was seen hovering in the center of the sea of ​​fire, his body enveloped in a crimson light.

This layer of light continued to expand, pushing aside more flames of life.

Two completely different forces confronted each other in the void, unleashing astonishing phenomena.

The old man stood in mid-air, looking at Shi Hao's disheveled appearance with mockery.

"To waste your life force on a bunch of ants, do you think you're stupid or just plain dumb?"

Shi Hao's current condition is indeed not optimistic.

His clothes were burned to shreds by the flames of life, revealing his scalded skin underneath.

The wounds had an eerie black hue, seemingly beyond the reach of even his powerful regenerative abilities.

However, the fact that a Venerable Realm cultivator could withstand an attack from a peak Divine Fire Realm cultivator is something that cannot be found in ancient classics.

Even the most brilliant and talented geniuses wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.

Although the old man was surprised that Shi Hao had managed to hold on until now, he would never give him a chance to catch his breath.

He formed hand seals, and countless runes suddenly appeared in the void.

These runes intertwined to form a massive magic circle, from which a dazzling light shone.

When the light faded, a long, jet-black spear appeared in the old man's hand.

This spear is over three zhang long, and its shaft is covered with ancient inscriptions.

Most alarmingly, the inscriptions seemed to be alive, constantly flowing across the gun.
