Chapter 113 The Storm Is Brewing
Gazing at the figure standing amidst the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, those who, knowing their place, had not ascended the altar fell silent, their bodies trembling involuntarily with fear.
They had never seen such a bloody and cruel scene, nor had they ever imagined that a seemingly young boy could unleash such terrifying power, as if he were a demon who had walked out of hell, coming specifically to reap lives.
At this moment, Shi An was surrounded by chaotic energy, his eyes were like cold lightning, and he exuded a chilling killing intent.
The Heavenly Desolate Halberd in his hand emitted a faint chaotic light, and when the tip of the halberd gently touched the ground, the entire space trembled.
Its imposing aura seemed to devour the entire world.
"This...is this the power after subduing the Heavenly Desolate Halberd?" someone murmured to themselves, their tone filled with disbelief and fear.
Ignoring the surrounding discussions and shock, Shi An's gaze pierced through the thick blood mist, looking at the dark Demon Transformation Cave, but there was no panic or worry in his eyes.
He knew, of course, that his younger brother Shi Hao had been knocked down here, but he also knew that Shi Hao was not in any danger at the moment.
On the contrary, he may be receiving the true inheritance of this place at this moment—the complete Kunpeng Treasure Technique!
Thinking of this, Shi An did not rush into the Demon Transformation Cave rashly, but instead turned around and collected all the relics he had just killed.
"Star Grass, Dragon Pattern Stone, Myriad Spirit Blood Essence..."
As Shi An tallied his spoils, he muttered to himself, "These are all rare treasures that will be of great benefit to my cultivation."
Before long, Shi An had collected all the spoils of war. Then he glanced at the dark Demon Transformation Cave again, and then turned back to the spot where the Heavenly Desolate Halberd had been.
"What is he trying to do? Does he want to subdue other divine weapons?"
"That...is very possible!"
As they watched Shi An walk back towards the place where the divine weapons were, a wave of shock surged through the hearts of the surviving beings once again.
This young man was so greedy; not content with just the Heavenly Desolate Halberd, he wanted to continue collecting other divine weapons.
Soon, Shi An arrived at the location of those divine weapons again, but perhaps Kunpeng also felt that he was being too greedy. Before he could make a move, the remaining three divine weapons—the Dragon Fang Dagger, the Golden Fan, and the Black Ruler—were gone!
It had already transformed into divine light and flown away, disappearing into the vast ocean.
"this········"
Looking at the empty altar, Shi An's expression changed slightly. This Kunpeng was really being disrespectful! All he took was a weapon! Was he really being so stingy? Unlike Zi Ling…
Thinking it over, Shi An turned away sadly, ignoring everything else, and went straight back to the front of the Demon Transformation Cave to protect Shi Hao.
"you·······"
Just then, a gentle voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "Are you still going to stay? Why don't you leave quickly?"
Upon hearing this, Shi An turned his head slightly and glanced at all the living beings below. When he saw a purple figure looking at him with a slightly worried expression, he couldn't help but smile and replied, "I just used up too much energy. If I leave now, I'm afraid I'll become a sitting duck."
"It would be better to recover here first, and wait for him to come out, so we can go back together then."
As he spoke, Shi An seemed to have thought of something and changed the subject: "Of course, if you have nothing else to do, you can leave first. On the one hand, this will avoid exposing our relationship, and on the other hand, you can contact your grandfather and ask him to leave as soon as possible."
"So that when I go out and encounter that group of venerable ones, he won't be mistakenly killed by the village's sacrificial spirit."
"·······"
Upon hearing Shi An's words, Yun Xi remained silent for a while before telling him to be careful. Then, she took her two best friends and left the place.
At the same time, seeing Yunxi leave safely, those creatures who originally thought Shi An wouldn't let anyone leave breathed a sigh of relief and scattered, fleeing far away from this bloody place.
Shi An did not stop them, but simply watched them quietly while recovering from his earlier exhaustion.
As someone ventured out of this sea area and carried the news with them, the outside world was completely engulfed in chaos.
Above the North Sea, the winds and clouds shifted dramatically. The Venerables and Ancestors gathered around the Forbidden Sea were all shocked and pale upon hearing of the changes at the altar.
Especially when the news spread that a young human boy, wielding the ancient divine weapon Tianhuang Halberd, was wreaking havoc on the altar, with Venerables falling like rain and even Ancestors not escaping unscathed, creating a bloodbath, the entire North Sea seemed to have experienced a catastrophe, and was completely shaken.
"What? A human boy can possess such abilities?"
"The Heavenly Desolate Halberd is one of the ten great weapons of the ancient times. How could it possibly be subdued by a mere youth?"
"Just who is this child, to be able to unleash such astonishing strength?"
The various venerable figures discussed amongst themselves, their faces filled with disbelief. Among them were many powerful figures, but even they had never seen such a formidable young man.
This caused a huge uproar among the forces of Tian Shen Mountain, Nan Yun Shen Mountain, and Mo Ling Lake.
They originally thought that with their strength, they would be able to secure a place in the battle for the Kunpeng Nest and obtain the Kunpeng Treasure Technique.
However, it now seems that things are not so simple.
"This child must be eliminated, or he will surely become a great threat in the future!" a venerable man said with a gloomy expression.
"That's right, we must kill him before he becomes too powerful!" Another patriarch also revealed his murderous intent.
"This child must not be allowed to live!" A venerable one gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.
"Hmph, don't rush. Once that brat comes out of his lair, we'll join forces to kill him and seize the Heavenly Desolation Halberd from his hands!" Another Venerable sneered, his tone full of confidence.
Clearly, all the creatures present understood that if Shi An were to grow up, he would inevitably threaten their position.
Moreover, they have already become mortal enemies with each other, and there is no way to resolve the conflict. Therefore, the best option is to nip it in the bud.
The Venerables of Nanyun Divine Mountain, Yi Mountain, Demon Spirit Lake, and other places also took action. They began to mobilize their forces to surround and kill Shi An after he left Kunpeng Nest.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire North Sea became even more tense. All creatures of all races felt this oppressive aura and chose to avoid it, fearing that they would be caught up in the impending storm.
Inside the Kunpeng Nest, in the Demon Transformation Cave, Shi Hao was immersed in the supreme treasure technique left behind by Kunpeng. His body was surrounded by chaotic energy, a stark contrast to the bloody storms outside. Here, there was only tranquility and peace.
The Kunpeng Treasure Technique is extremely profound. Every move and stroke contains the ultimate principles of heaven and earth. Shi Hao devoted himself to it and kept comprehending it. His strength quietly rose to another level.
Outside the cave, Shi An sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and concentrated, using the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the Heavenly Desolation Halberd in his hand to recover from the damage of the previous battle.
The chaotic energy around him circulated and resonated with the Heavenly Desolate Halberd, which greatly increased his recovery speed.
