Perfection: He is the Heavenly Emperor, I am the Eastern Emperor!

Chapter 90: The Road Ends?

However, even though he had exhausted all his strength and all his divine power to evolve the cave heaven, an accident still occurred. The cave heaven had just taken shape when it suddenly exploded.

This time, Shi Hao was even more seriously injured. His body was mangled and almost shattered, a truly gruesome sight, with bones exposed in many places.

"This guy..."

On the other side, Yunxi, who witnessed this scene, was terrified.

She had never seen such a crazy way of cultivating herself; it was as if she were gambling with her life to pursue that elusive ultimate goal.

The willow tree remained silent, its branches swaying gently, seemingly providing Shi Hao with some kind of subtle protection, preventing him from truly heading towards destruction as he teetered on the edge of destruction and rebirth.

Shi An clenched his fists, his eyes filled with both worry and anticipation.

He knew Shi Hao's character well; once he made a decision, he would never turn back. This persistence and courage were what he admired most.

Indeed, after witnessing Shi An's twelve grotto heavens, Shi Hao never considered stopping at the tenth grotto heaven, even though it was the ultimate realm in common sense.

He wants to surpass, to go a step further like Shi An, to break through the limits, and to forge a path that belongs to him.

"Again!"

Therefore, even though his body was bleeding and his flesh was torn apart, Shi Hao only frowned slightly and did not utter a sound. Instead, he began a new round of attempts. He wanted to create the cave again and open it up anew.

At this moment, his mind was highly tense, his body radiated light, and runes fluttered around him like golden butterflies. With a boom, a blazing divine light burst forth, piercing through the void.

This time, he did his utmost to quickly open it up, and then repeated the process, with the help of the other nine grotto heavens, watering it with endless divine light to stabilize it.

Unfortunately, if breaking through to the Extreme Realm were so easy, it wouldn't be the Extreme Realm.

"what!"

Shi Hao screamed. He had failed again. His body was almost broken, and blood gushed from his mouth like a fountain.

Even so, he did not give up and continued to try.

Finally, after suffering countless heavy blows, Shi Hao's heart suddenly trembled as he saw blurry fragments.

When that cavern split open, a small fragment with shimmering runes appeared; it was a hazy fragment of the profound mysteries of the Great Dao!

Although it is difficult to truly capture, even a fleeting glance can yield great insights, revealing the laws of nature and the universe—an enduring and unbreakable principle.

The appearance of this fragment filled Shi Hao with endless hope. Even though his physical body was in terrible shape, his spirit seemed to be sublimating and becoming more and more vibrant!

"boom!"

After an unknown amount of time, Shi Hao finally managed to open up the cave by resonating and intertwining with the mysterious symbols he had observed.

This grotto-heaven was extremely vast, identical to the tenth grotto-heaven, bursting forth with auspicious light that engulfed the area and released a terrifying wave of divine energy.

With his first success, he felt as if he had found a breakthrough and began to continue to deduce other grotto-heavens, trying to make each grotto-heaven reach this grand scale.

And so, Shi Hao continued to work hard, tried every possible method, and endured the pain of his body cracking open. Finally, after a day and a night, he completed the reopening of the ten caves, all of which were incredibly vast and emanated astonishing divine energy fluctuations.

"There seems to be a new change?!"

Feeling the newborn Ten Grotto-Heavens, Shi Hao was very surprised.

The ten grottoes were reopened, and each one roared and thundered after it opened, filled with divine power like the sea, and brimming with immortal light and auspicious energy. If anyone saw it, it would definitely terrify those so-called geniuses.

Shi Yunfeng trembled with excitement, his lips quivering, overjoyed for Shi Hao.

Shi Linhu, Shi Feijiao, and the others were also stunned for a moment, one after another shocked. Then they pounded their chests with fists the size of large bowls, expressing their joy with great excitement.

"That's amazing!"

Pihou, Bitiwa, Huzi, and other young people were also very excited, shouting and celebrating. They were good brothers who had grown up with Shi Hao and were genuinely happy for him.

As for Yunxi...

She is now completely dazed.

However, it's no wonder she did this, since even in the long history of Tian Shen Mountain, no one has ever achieved such a feat.

At the same time, she was even more frightened by the fact that Shi An had managed to open up twelve grotto heavens.

If reshaping the Ten Heavenly Caves is already so difficult, then what a sight it would be if he broke through the extreme realm twice and opened up the Twelve Heavenly Caves.

While pondering, Yunxi's gaze unconsciously drifted to Shi An beside her.

However, Shi An completely ignored the other party at this moment, because his attention was still focused on Shi Hao. He knew very well that reshaping the Ten Heavens was not the limit that Shi Hao wanted.

Beneath the willow tree, Shi Hao sat cross-legged. Around him, ten grotto-heavens roared, a truly magnificent sight. Each one was immense, seemingly connected to a celestial realm, radiating precious light and auspicious energy descending—a truly astonishing spectacle.

These grottoes were incredibly vast, and each one, like the tenth grotto, emitted a divine aura that was so powerful and astonishing that viewers could hardly believe it.

But this is the reality: the Ten Heavenly Caves are complete, vast and boundless.

Moreover, at this time they had changed. They were no longer in the shape of volcanoes, but had transformed into a bizarre and wonderful world, becoming a true "grotto heaven".

It is similar to the twelve grotto heavens of Shi'an.

However, Shi Hao felt that this might be able to undergo another transformation.

"Brother Xiao An's path leads to the Twelve Heavenly Caves. So what if I connect these ten bizarre and wondrous orbs of light, resembling the Ten Realms, together? What would happen then?"

Once he had an idea, he acted on it. Shi Hao's stubbornness came to the fore. He didn't want to stop there. He wanted to achieve what Shi An had accomplished. Even if he didn't open up twelve grotto heavens like him, he would at least forge his own path.

"boom!"

As Shi Hao made a thought, the ten magnificent caverns began to slowly rotate, seemingly forming an inexplicable connection with each other. Various auspicious clouds burst forth, and the place was filled with vital energy, constantly rising and becoming incredibly dazzling.

"Melt it for me!"

Shi Hao shouted.

"Boom!"

The ten caves trembled violently, merging into one, becoming a single world!

Everyone was shocked; what a spectacular sight it was!

In a daze, everyone saw illusory figures emerging, with majestic mountains, verdant peaks, divine waterfalls, colorful clouds scattering across the sky, and auspicious beasts and rare birds appearing.

This is...it's practically a fairyland!

Of course, they all understood that this was just an illusion, not real; it was merely a strange phenomenon that appeared when Shi Hao opened up his inner world, and now it was reappearing.

Only by opening your eyes wide, feeling the lightning flash, and sensing with your heart can you see the real scene.

The ten grotto heavens merged into one, transforming into a vast and boundless world, seemingly capable of containing the sun, moon, and stars, with all the heavens contained within it.

"That's incredibly powerful!"

The big red bird was amazed.

"boom!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, that world suddenly trembled violently. The ten grottoes could not truly merge together; instead, they collided with each other, threatening to break this place apart.

Shi Hao's body also shook, suffering a tremendous impact, and blood immediately spilled from the corner of his mouth, much more serious than before.

The ten grotto-heavens trembled simultaneously. If they were to collide and explode, he would surely perish both body and soul, and even the gods could not save him.
