He also sensed extremely terrifying auras coming from afar, auras that even made Shi Hao, who was at the Spirit Transformation Realm, feel a slight tremor in his heart. Clearly, there were native creatures at the King or Marquis level active there!
"Hiss... The native creatures here are indeed ridiculously strong!" Huo Ling'er's pretty face turned pale as she watched, secretly grateful for the protection of the Hidden Void Divine Carpet. Otherwise, encountering just one of them might have led to a bitter battle or even their demise.
Xia Youyu also looked solemn, constantly reminding Shi Hao to conceal his aura and proceed with caution.
Only Shi Hao, while also surprised by the strength of these native creatures, was more excited!
A formidable opponent! That means fiercer battles! And richer rewards!
He was even itching to go down and exchange blows with that giant stone man or that giant centipede! But considering his ultimate goal, he held back for the time being.
Under the cover of the Hidden Void Carpet, they passed through several extremely dangerous areas without incident, and finally arrived at the legendary center of the Hundred Broken Mountains two days later!
As soon as you approach this area, a completely different aura hits you!
It is no longer the desolate, lifeless place it once was, or filled with violence and slaughter!
Rather, it is an atmosphere of peace, tranquility, and rich vitality and sacred Taoist charm!
Before me lay a vast, boundless, pristine land, like a paradise on earth!
The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the birds and flowers are fragrant.
Above the beautiful sacred mountains, waterfalls cascade down like the Milky Way, exuding a misty spiritual aura.
On the ground, rare flowers and beautiful grasses are everywhere, and the ancient peach trees are lush and exude a refreshing fragrance.
The air was filled with an intensely rich life essence and Daoist energy; just one breath was enough to make one feel that their cultivation bottleneck had loosened!
"What a...what a beautiful place!" Huo Ling'er and Xia Youyu couldn't help but exclaim in amazement as they looked at the fairy-tale-like scene before them!
This place is simply an unparalleled sacred ground for cultivation!
"Squeak! Squeak!"
Just then, the fur ball on Shi Hao's shoulder suddenly cried out excitedly, its little paws pointing incessantly at the center of the Pure Land, at those tallest and most mystical ancient trees!
Shi Hao looked in the direction it pointed, and his pupils suddenly contracted!
In the core area of that pure land, there grew four peach trees, their bodies entirely silvery-white, as if cast from silver, with dazzling divine light flowing between their branches and leaves!
These four peach trees weren't particularly tall, but each one exuded an astonishing vitality and a rich Daoist aura! On the trees grew strange peaches, each the size of a baby's fist, also silvery-white, with what appeared to be stars swirling on their surface!
Just one glance and the faint fragrance wafting over make one feel clear-headed and blissfully ethereal!
"Silver... Silver Peach Tree?! A quasi-sacred medicine?!" Xia Youyu exclaimed in disbelief, her face filled with shock!
The Silver Peach Tree is a legendary divine tree that can only be born after being touched by the blood of a true god! The silver peaches it bears contain immense life essence and fragments of the Great Dao, and are known as quasi-sacred medicines!
A single silver peach is enough to bring a person on the verge of death back to life, or allow a cultivator who has been stuck at a bottleneck for many years to reach the pinnacle in one step!
And here... there are actually four of them?!
"We've struck it rich! We've really struck it rich this time!" Huo Ling'er's face flushed with excitement, and she couldn't wait to rush over and pick all the silver peaches!
However, they soon discovered that getting close to the four silver peach trees was not an easy task!
Because in that core area, an extremely fierce and chaotic battle had already broken out!
Dozens of powerful figures are fighting fiercely for ownership of the Silver Peach Tree!
There were human prodigies who unleashed various powerful magical techniques and divine abilities, with runes flying everywhere!
It is a descendant of an ancient species, manifesting its true form. Its enormous body rampages around, and its innate divine power shakes the heavens and the earth!
Several powerful creatures whose auras clearly belonged to the natives of Baiduan Mountain also joined the battle, using strange and ruthless methods!
A roar of energy! Divine light burst forth! Screams of agony filled the air!
The entire QQ group was reduced to ruins!
At the heart of that chaotic battle stood an extremely strange and wondrous creature!
That was a golden divine monkey!
It wasn't particularly large, but its fur was like it was cast in gold, gleaming brightly! Between the opening and closing of its eyes, there was a terrifying vision of the sun and moon revolving! It held a jet-black iron rod in its hand, and with a casual swing, it possessed terrifying power that could shatter the void and suppress all things!
The aura emanating from it was vast and boundless, far surpassing that of ordinary peak-level cultivators in the Cave Heaven Realm; it was clearly a... King-level being!
Chapter 47: King-level combat power, Yunxi's curiosity!
The Monkey King!
They are the guardians of this pure land and the owners of these four silver peach trees!
At this moment, it is being besieged by several of the most powerful human prodigies and ancient remnants!
Despite being outnumbered, the Monkey King held his own! He wielded his black iron cudgel with ferocious power, each strike containing earth-shattering force, forcing his attackers to retreat repeatedly, some even being blown to pieces on the spot! His ferocious might was awe-inspiring!
"What an amazing monkey!" Shi Hao nodded to himself as he looked at the majestic Monkey King.
"What should we do? That monkey is too powerful! We can't even get close to the Silver Peach Tree!" Huo Ling'er said anxiously, looking at the fierce battle in the arena.
Xia Youyu also frowned and pondered, "The Monkey King's strength is unfathomable. It's impossible to force our way in. We can only... wait for an opportunity."
However, Shi Hao shook his head, a sly smile playing on his lips: "Waiting for the right opportunity? Too slow. Watch me!"
"What do you want to do?!" Huo Ling'er and Xia Youyu were both shocked.
Instead of charging directly into the battle, Shi Hao...
A strange light flashed in his eyes, and the "One Unique Cave Heaven" within his body, which had merged with ten other cave heavens, quietly began to operate!
An extremely subtle spatial fluctuation, yet seemingly able to merge into the void and isolate all senses, enveloped his figure!
This was a smattering he had gleaned from the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art and his previous observations of the spatial laws of the Sky-Splitting Demon Butterfly. Combined with the unique 02 nature of the Unique Cave Heaven, it granted him the ability to briefly "transform" and conceal himself!
Swish!
To the astonishment of Huo Ling'er and Xia Youyu, Shi Hao's figure... vanished into thin air?!
No! It didn't disappear! It became transparent and vanished without a trace, as if it had merged into the air! Even its aura completely disappeared!
"What...what kind of secret technique is this?!" Both women were shocked!
Such a method of concealment is simply unheard of!
Just as they were in shock, Shi Hao, who had successfully "disappeared," silently bypassed the fierce battle and arrived directly under the four silver peach trees, like a ghost!
At this moment, the Monkey King was entangled with several of his most powerful opponents and had no time to spare for anything else!
Shi Hao chuckled and no longer hesitated!
He used both hands simultaneously, pulling up the radish as if he were doing it himself!
puff! puff! puff! puff!
Accompanied by four soft sounds!
Those four silver peach trees, rooted deep in the earth and absorbing endless spiritual energy, were actually... pulled out along with a large patch of spiritual soil below them, which contained rich life essence!
Then, without any hesitation, he stuffed them all into his storage space!
After doing all this, he noticed with his sharp eyes that there were several huge stone altars hidden in a secluded tree hole next to the roots of the silver peach tree!
The stone altar emitted an extremely enticing, intoxicating aroma of wine!
"Monkey wine?!" Shi Hao's eyes lit up!
This is a supreme wine, brewed by a divine monkey using the essence of hundreds of fruits and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth! Its value is even comparable to that of silver peaches!
"Hehe, can't waste it!"
Shi Hao once again displayed his "thief never leaves empty-handed" nature, and like a porter, he carried the dozen or so large stone jars filled with monkey wine into his storage space!
The whole process was smooth and silent!
Until he had "scavenged" all the treasures and was preparing to sneak away—
roar--!!!!!!
A roar filled with boundless rage and violence, like a million thunderclaps exploding at once, suddenly resounded throughout the entire sacred land!
The Monkey King, who was engaged in a fierce battle with a powerful enemy, finally realized that something was wrong!
When it turned around and saw the bare ground and the empty tree hole, its golden eyes instantly turned blood red!
Its treasures! The silver peach tree it had painstakingly guarded for countless years! And the monkey wine it had treasured for who knows how many years! All gone?!
Who?! Who did this?!
The Monkey King was furious!
It roared to the sky, and a terrifying aura capable of destroying the world erupted instantly!
boom! ! !
The black iron rod in his hand shone brightly, sweeping out like a pillar supporting the sky!
puff!puff!puff!
Those top geniuses and ancient beings who were originally besieging it had no time to react before they were swept away by this attack containing boundless rage! They were either killed or seriously injured!
After the area was cleared, the Monkey King's fiery gaze instantly locked onto Shi Hao, who had just broken out of his stealth state and was about to make a runaway!
Although Shi Hao moved quickly, the residual spatial fluctuations and the aura of the treasure still revealed his location!
"You little thief!!! How dare you steal my treasure!!! Prepare to die!!!"
The Monkey King roared, his massive body transforming into a golden lightning bolt, and his black iron cudgel, carrying a terrifying power capable of tearing apart heaven and earth and destroying all things, crashed down on Shi Hao!
This strike contained the boundless rage of a king! Enough to raze a mountain to the ground!
"Oh no!" Huo Ling'er and Xia Youyu, who were in the distance, both exclaimed in alarm as their expressions changed drastically.
They wanted to help, but it was too late! And they couldn't stop them!
However, faced with this devastating blow, Shi Hao remained standing in place, showing no fear whatsoever. Instead, he revealed a hint of helplessness.
"Sigh, I didn't want to use this trick. You forced me to." He shook his head and muttered to himself.
Then, he slowly raised his right hand.
In his palm, a faint yet indescribably vast, sacred, and seemingly transcendent light... a verdant glow quietly appeared!
That was... a protective mark bestowed upon him by the Willow God when he left Stone Village! It contained a tiny trace of the Willow God's primordial will!
"Go." Shi Hao uttered a single word softly.
