Chapter 800 Embarking on a Brand New Path!
Chapter 800 Embarking on a Brand New Path!
Just when everyone thought Shi Hao had successfully resolved the strange crisis.
Amidst the distant gray smog, a lone lamp unexpectedly appeared once again.
The lamp was exactly the same as the previous one, completely black, with twisted runes engraved all over its body, emitting a faint green light.
But this time the gray smog was even thicker than before, as viscous as ink, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
The lights flickered in the smog, sometimes bright, sometimes dim, like an eye opening from the depths of hell, coldly watching everyone.
In an instant, Qingyi and the others felt a chill run down their spines, a coldness spreading from head to toe.
The feeling was even stronger than before, as if something was awakening in the darkness, carrying an irresistible and terrifying will.
"Retreat now!"
Shi Hao's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly reminded everyone, "You all need to retreat immediately and not set foot here..."
His voice held an unprecedented urgency.
But there's nothing we can do about it.
His body had just been injured, and although he had integrated the innate treasure technique, the consumption was enormous, and his aura was far from recovering to its peak.
Now that this ominous and eerie thing has struck again, with internal and external troubles, he has encountered a truly serious problem.
Although Cao Yusheng and the others did not understand what was happening, seeing Shi Hao urging them, they all retreated to the edge.
"Knock knock knock..."
Soon, heavy footsteps came from the smog, like the tolling of a death knell, each step striking the hearts of everyone present.
The sound seemed both close at hand and far away, carrying an indescribable rhythm that could shatter one's heart—utterly terrifying.
"What is that sound? It's coming from all directions..."
The Moon Jade Rabbit pointed around in terror, its voice trembling.
The group looked around and saw figures slowly emerging from the gray smog.
The figures appeared densely in the surrounding mist, exuding a terrifying pressure and completely enveloping the area.
Their auras were all different; some were as heavy as mountains, some as cold as abyss, and some as fiery as fire, but each one was so powerful that it was suffocating.
The strength of any one of them is probably no weaker than those two strange creatures from before, enough to be evenly matched with Shi Hao.
"So many..."
Lin Dong clenched his fists, his face instantly turning deathly pale: "How am I supposed to fight this?"
Han Li said with a solemn expression, "These strange creatures are probably a full-scale backlash from the Great Dao rules of this world. Brother Shi Hao's transformation just now touched some kind of taboo, attracting more incarnations of the rules."
Cao Yusheng sighed, his voice tinged with helplessness: "This is a huge problem. Even if Brother Shi Hao were at his peak, he might not be able to handle so many strange creatures, let alone now that he's injured..."
Shi Hao stood still, his gaze sweeping over the slowly approaching figures, but there was no sign of retreat in his eyes.
He took a deep breath, and the three streams of immortal energy within his body surged simultaneously, preparing for a desperate battle.
However, at that moment...
Shi Hao suddenly staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Just as he was about to steady himself, he discovered that the three strands of immortal energy on his body were now dissipating from his body like threads being peeled away.
"What?"
Shi Hao's expression changed.
He felt his connection with the three streams of immortal energy rapidly weakening, as if some force was forcibly tearing them away.
Upon seeing this, the Lunar Jade Rabbit immediately exclaimed, "Look, Brother Shi Hao's immortal aura has dissipated..."
Qian Renxue frowned: "Without immortal energy, Brother Shi Hao's strength will be greatly reduced. What should we do?"
The situation was already extremely critical, and now that Shi Hao has lost all his immortal energy, he has no chance of survival.
At this moment, the strange creatures in the distance seemed to have sensed something as well. They quickened their pace, carrying an impatient killing intent, wanting to completely annihilate Shi Hao when he was at his weakest.
But in the next second.
Suddenly, the Supreme Blood within Shi Hao's body began to glow inexplicably.
The light emanated from his body, enveloping him in a crimson halo.
The surrounding immortal energy seemed to be summoned by something, and began to converge towards the supreme blood within his body.
Then, the immortal energy and the supreme blood began to merge.
"What is this...?"
Shi Hao was completely confused.
He felt no discomfort or noticed anything else amiss. He only sensed that the supreme blood within his body seemed to have undergone a dramatic change, becoming even more powerful.
These supreme bloods no longer seemed like blood, but rather like a crimson metallic liquid flowing within the body, carrying an unprecedented mysterious aura.
The strange creatures that were originally approaching him suddenly hesitated the moment they saw the crimson light.
They stopped in their tracks, standing like sculptures in the smog, seemingly intimidated by the aura.
A moment later, as the immortal energy within Shi Hao's body gradually dissipated and merged with the Supreme Blood, the ancient lamp above his head, which had been faintly visible, gradually became blurred.
The lights flickered, and finally, like a candle dying in the wind, they went out completely.
"—Buzz!!!"
A deep hum came from the void, and the strange creatures that had been surrounding the group began to slowly retreat as if they had received some kind of command.
They stepped into the void rift, their figures gradually blurring until they finally disappeared completely.
The surrounding gray smog was also dissipating rapidly.
The sunlight shone down again, illuminating the ancient bluestone path and dispelling all the gloom and eeriness.
Everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
Shi Hao stood there, looking down at his hands, his heart pounding with excitement.
He could feel that the supreme blood within his body had completely merged with the three strands of immortal energy, forming a completely new power.
"Brother Shi Hao, are you alright?"
Lin Dong was the first to rush up and asked with concern.
Shi Hao shook his head: "I'm fine, it's just that the power within my body seems to have changed somewhat."
Han Li stepped forward and carefully observed Shi Hao's aura. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Your immortal energy is gone, but your aura is deeper than before. There seems to be a power within you that even we can't see through."
Shi Hao nodded without saying anything more.
He raised his hand, gently clenched it, and felt that new power surging in his palm.
Shi Hao knew that he had embarked on a path he had never taken before.
The Lunar Jade Rabbit hopped over, looking up at him, "Brother Shi Hao, have all those monsters left? They won't come back, will they?"
Shi Hao smiled and said, "They won't come back, at least not in the short term."
Cao Yusheng breathed a sigh of relief and patted his stomach: "It's finally over. I was so scared just now. I thought you were going to die here today."
