Chapter 1813 - Convey the Dao Within
Behind him was an endless black abyss, up ahead was a cliff.
Shi Hao was suspended above the abyss, extremely close to shore, but just couldn’t cross over.
It was extremely strange. These iron chains came from the heavens above, wordless and uncommunicative, descending just like that, piercing through him. His body was covered in blood, imprisoned here.
The more he struggled, the more tightly he was bound. Right now, endless chains pierced his body. That grand voice came from either his mind or from the heavens above, one chain one will; this was a bit terrifying.
Raging flames surged, fiery light jumping about, illuminating even the dark abyss. There were countless corpses below.
This place became more and more terrifying. Shi Hao’s flesh was ignited, his bones even revealed, burning like metal. Scarlet flames surged over there.
Ten thousand wills surged, iron chains surging, raging flames blazing. Shi Hao’s body quickly dried up, becoming like a piece of scorched coal, moreover the type that was going to break apart.
This supreme being path was actually this difficult?
He didn’t say a word, resisting, wishing to break free from this type of difficult situation. There was still a bit of distance from the shore, already within reach, how could he possibly give up here?
“Five hundred years, is it really a line of taboo that cannot be crossed?” He quietly asked himself.
With his aptitude, becoming a supreme being in the future was practically guaranteed. The reason he was in his current predicament was because he was impatient for results, wishing to immediately rise up.
He was worried that there wouldn’t be much time left, scared that the other great powers wouldn’t give him the chance to rise. He was worried that the great showdown would arrive...
He felt that he didn’t have enough time, that if he wasted any more time, then everything would be too late, scared that he wouldn’t have a chance to make any contributions before he was killed in the Mortal Dao domain.
If he didn’t quickly rush into the heavens, he would definitely be killed in the future, not even given the chance to put up a struggle. This would then be his greatest regret, being born in these times.
“Achieve the dao!”
He released a roar, struggling about, doing his best to fly upwards, wishing to soar into the heavens.
The so-called iron chains appeared one after another, all of them descending from the heavenly dome above. Shi Hao did everything he could, approaching that place. His body that was about to turn into charred coal was covered in cracks.
His flesh was dried up, disappearing, turning into ashes. His bones were bright red, about to melt, fine cracks covering their surface.
It could be said that he was already in a critical situation. Right now, he was dying.
It wasn’t just his body, his primordial spirit was also extremely weak. Those chains also stabbed into his skull, burning there.
Kacha!
It was like charred coal. Shi Hao’s body broke apart, but didn’t separate. It was because he was pierced everywhere by chains, tangling about his body.
His life force was quickly decreasing, almost impossible to sense.
His eyes grew dim, eye sockets caving in, his face lacking flesh and blood. This scene was extremely horrifying, as if he was a scorched black skeleton.
Were his body and spirit going to perish here?!
He was close to death, his vital energies were all drying up.
The so-called oil in the lamp drying up, this was precisely the type of state he was currently in.
Qiang qiang qiang!
Suddenly, Shi Hao’s eyes released brilliance, becoming astonishingly dazzling.
Was this the dying flash, the final gambit?
Exuberant vitality gushed out. From behind Shi Hao appeared True Phoenix wings, a wave of flames surged from within his body. Now that he was close to death, he began to reveal all types of trump cards.
Hong!
He rushed out, his originally charred black body quickly returning to normal. His flesh regrew, dao bones emerging, gradually displaying brilliance.
He was reviving from a critical state, resurrection post catastrophe.
Phoenix Rebirth, this was the most powerful core method of this clan, as well as the world’s number one recovery method, could be said to be without equal!
Not only could it treat one’s injuries, it could also be used for cultivation. Those who were more decisive cut themselves down, erased their cultivation, and then restarted from the beginning, reconstructing the true self like this.
Rebirth through death, return from destruction, this allowed him to become even stronger.
This was the unmatched great method of the True Phoenix bloodline!
Shi Hao was pressured to this step, left without a choice. He activated the Phoenix Clan’s unmatched precious technique, allowing himself to erupt with raging flames, fiery light rushing into the heavens.
Soon afterwards, his body swelled, flesh sparkling, developing a luster. As for his broken bones and other parts, they had long become reconstructed, becoming like forged steel, releasing zheng zheng noises.
He rushed upwards. Without breaking the chains, there was no way he could break free. He wanted to slaughter his way into the heavens, see just what exactly it was that bound him.
The so-called one thought one chain, was this true? He didn’t really believe it!
A human shaped phoenix surrounded in pulsing flames charged into the clouds, into the heavens, the disturbance making the void cave in. Great dao noises rumbled.
He reached the final point, saw the truth. That was the great dao, a lump of primal chaos, an expanse of haziness, changing and deriving there. It turned into all types of diagrams, like grass, trees, fish, bugs, all living things.
Hong!
In a single breath of time, it turned into a World Tree. It wasn’t that large, but leaves fluttered about, natural laws countless, laws and order like rainbows, piercing through Shi Hao’s body.
So this was where the chains came from?
Hou!
Immediately afterwards, it changed again, becoming a sinister ancient beast. Yin and yang swirled, over ten thousand sharp pricks stabbed into his body, piercing through Shi Hao’s flesh.
World Creation Ancient Beast?
Shi Hao released a muffled groan, staggering backwards, each step producing a blood-colored footprint.
Then, specks of light danced about. That place changed again, ancient beasts disappearing. There were seeds everywhere, fluff flying around, descending from above, taking root in Shi Hao’s body.
This was also a type of torture. The seeds sucked out his blood, taking root in his bones, absorbing his bone marrow...
The scenes continuously changed. Even though Shi Hao was retaliating, he was still seriously injured.
If he wanted to achieve the dao, then he must convey the dao within!
This was the tangible incarnation of the great dao. It continuously descended, crushing everyone to the point where they felt like exploding.
“Living beings wish to achieve the dao, the dao also wishes to devour living beings.”
Shi Hao felt a type of misconception. He wanted to achieve the dao, acquire the world’s basic secrets, grasp all types of natural laws and profound mysteries of this world. However, during this process, the great dao had its own plans.
He suddenly thought of that small pagoda. In the past, it always spoke of balance, about the transaction of karma; perhaps this was what it was talking about.
If one wished to achieve the dao, one must first convey the dao within.
If one sought the profound mysteries of heaven and earth while grasping the natural laws, one would also be corroded by heaven and earth, the latter devouring their very essence.
That was why ninety-nine percent of creatures all died.
The so-called cultivators were a group of individuals who moved against the heavens, defying the natural great dao during their cultivation process, so they would naturally suffer setbacks, this was reality.
Only some people were able to come up with all types of methods during this cultivation process that allowed it to become smooth and natural, the so-called where the water flows, a canal is formed.
However, Shi Hao was not like this. He forcefully climbed to the peak. He didn’t follow a prescribed order, didn’t even properly prepare. His thoughts were too deep, clashing with the so-called ‘natural ‘ process.
Of course, without achieving immortality, there was no way he could understand the ultimate profound mysteries.
Shi Hao’s instantaneous insights, in the end, only allowed him to see a corner of the original secrets.
“I took the wrong path. With the body as the seed, with me as the roots, the foundation, the truth, I was actually seeking the great dao of the external heaven and earth. I should be using this as a reference, and not imitating it.”
Even though Shi Hao was seriously injured, blood covering his entire body, he was still speaking, his voice cold and resolute. There was a type of resolution within him that was becoming more and more powerful.
The path deviated a bit, but he already reached this point, there was no way out. He still had to continue.
He couldn’t die, the only option was success.
“Since you said one will one chain, then just come back! I will allow all wills to flourish, achieve the dao this way!” Shi Hao roared out, erupting with the greatest power of his life.
His body seemed to have exploded, releasing endless divine light. Supreme being aura covered heaven and earth. All of the metal chains went taut, releasing kengqiang noises.
In the skies, the great dao changed continuously, from a dragon to a normal dog, then to a World Tree. However, each time, there were still always endless chains tangling around Shi Hao’s body, impaling him.
Shi Hao knew that he encountered a huge problem. Because of his choice of dao achievement, the difficulties he faced exceeded others, the chances of death even greater.
“All wills burn the dao!”
Shi Hao roared out, completely going for broke. Not only did he not scatter these thoughts, they instead became even more powerful, erupting from within him, moving along each chain, rushing at the great dao, issuing a counterattack.
Fiery light jumped about. This was his will, converted into fiery light, burning all dao.
However, right now, he still couldn’t compare to the great dao. It was like a moth that set itself on fire, rushing into a bonfire.
Hong!
He was blasted until he fell, body set on fire, turning into charred coal again.
True Phoenix cries sounded. Shi Hao displayed the True Phoenix Undying Method while in a state of near death, reviving again. He rushed into the heavens, wishing to break those chains, wishing to seize them back.
Again and again, he continuously charged forward.
In the end, he was spiritually weary, his strength exhausted. His vital energy was completely burned clean.
The True Phoenix Undying Method also had a limit, there was no way it could be used endlessly.
In the skies, the great dao rotated, becoming blurry. In the end, it actually gradually disappeared, receding.
What was going on?
Shi Hao was stupefied. While seizing his last breath of energy, he greedily absorbed the surrounding essence energy to replenish his own needs.
Then, he slowly fell, appearing on the other shore, reaching the cliff on the other side of the abyss. Did he succeed?
However, there was no auspicious brilliance that descended from the world, nor was there endless surging supreme being energy, not granting him a baptism.
“I will just baptize myself!” Shi Hao said.
He sat down here, receiving the energy of all life in heaven and earth to replenish his needs. His half ruined dao bones were reforged, flesh becoming brilliant. He quickly recovered.
At his cultivation realm, he could even revive from a single drop of blood, let alone still having a ruined body. That was why surviving and recovering to his peak wasn’t an issue.
Shi Hao left the primal chaos region, appearing in Desolate Region. He sensed that he was more powerful than he had ever been before!
