“Ahh!”
An agonized scream.
Dau Jiu’s face contorted in pain as his head was gripped by five fingers.
“No!”
He roared and struggled with all his might.
However, that could not stop Tang Hao. He forcefully activated the soul searching technique, and countless memory fragments flooded in like a tide, including the Nine Heavens Lightning Scripture.
After obtaining the scripture, he grunted coldly and knocked Dao Jiu unconscious with a palm strike.
The area below was deathly silent.
No one among the densely packed crowd in the valley made a sound.
They raised their heads and looked at the sky with blank expressions.
Dao Jiu was defeated convincingly, despite unsealing nine chakras and possessing a supreme treasure. His supreme treasure was snatched, and his soul was searched.
That… was truly unbelievable.
Those people had also heard Dao Jiu say that the sublime fruit harvest was a trap for that guy. That made them even more aghast.
“Heavens! How could that be?”
“I don’t believe it! How could Dao Jiu lose!” Some of Dao Jiu’s fangirls were in disbelief.
Following that, they became worried.
“He won’t kill Dao Jiu, would he?”
Everyone’s expressions changed. If he really did kill Dao Jiu, it would be a serious transgression.
The Primeval Mountain’s prodigies were burning with anxiety. They took large steps forward and sternly reprimanded, “Let go of my senior brother, you villain!”
“You’re not going to escape today, villain! You’d better surrender now! I’ll cut you into a thousand pieces if you dare harm Senior Brother Dao Jiu!”
The leader of the prodigies shouted. A ray of light suddenly shot out from his body and unfurled in the wind. It was an ancient flag that gave off an austere light and an ancient qi aura.
“It’s the Primeval Flag!”
Everyone cried out in surprise.
The Primeval Flag was the supreme treasure of Primeval Mountain and was famous throughout the Ninth Continent.
They did not expect that Primeval Mountain would bring out that precious treasure.
At the same moment, the people from Broken Sword Mountain stepped up next to those from Primeval Mountain. They did not say a word, but their killing intent was palpable.
Nangong Lie, standing at the front of the group, trembled slightly. The sword case on his back suddenly shook and soared into the sky.
The sword case opened, and a broken sword flew out.
At first glance, the sword was rusted and broken, no different than a useless sword. However, its sword qi was so sharp that it could sever reality.
“Another supreme treasure!”
Everyone cried out in surprise. Their faces were filled with shock.
Many people would have only heard and never seen a supreme treasure in their entire lives. However, in a short while, four supreme treasures had appeared.
That was only the beginning. The prodigies from the other major factions took out the supreme treasures of their sects.
There was a mirror, a pot, a cauldron, and so on…
The supreme treasures hovered in the air. The combined qi aura was oppressive.
“One, two, three… Oh my god! How many supreme treasures are there?”
Everyone was completely shocked.
“This is too crazy!”
“Would they need to go to this extent to fight one person?”
They cried out.
“Oh no! We’d better run!”
Following that, they came to their senses and retreated at once.
If all the supreme treasures were activated at the same time, the effects would be devastating. They did not want to get hurt.
The crowd retreated like the receding tide. They stopped about a kilometer away and watched the fight from afar.
“I actually admire your strength, Qin, but there’s nothing I can do. I can’t disobey my sect leader’s orders. I hope that you won’t hold a grudge against me after you die,” Shentu Meng said.
In front of him was a mirror that emitted green light. On the back of the mirror was a carving of mountains, rivers, the sun, and the moon. It looked quite plain.
After saying that, he opened his eight chakras and channeled all his qi into the mirror. The prodigies behind him took a step forward and placed their hands on his body.
They channeled their qi into the mirror through Shentu Meng’s body.
After absorbing the qi from about thirty people, the mirror trembled, and a shocking qi aura erupted from it. A resplendent radiance burst forth on the surface of the mirror. It was like a supernova.
That was such a magnificent and awe-inspiring display of power!
“We’ve fought a few times, Qin. You’ll live on in my memories,” the prodigy from the Di family said.
As he spoke, he activated the supreme treasures in front of him.
The other prodigies did the same thing.
Beams of light shot up into the sky and stirred the clouds.
The supreme treasures were aimed at the figure standing in the air.
Tang Hao looked around and sneered. “You’re not going to hold back, are you?”
Then, his tone changed and he said coldly, “But you’re not going to do anything to me!”
He tossed Dao Jiu into the magatama pocket world, took out the sublime fruit, and swallowed it.
“What does he want to do?”
“Is he crazy? What could he achieve by swallowing the sublime fruit now? Don’t tell me he wants to break through to the State of the Golden Core now!”
The crowd below cried out in surprise.
The group of prodigies was in disbelief.
That guy must be insane to try to break through to the State of the Golden Core while being completely surrounded!
Breaking through to the Golden Core stage required a large amount of qi. Even if that guy had pills, it would take him some time to fully absorb them. Breaking through right now was completely impossible.
Moreover, that guy swallowed the sublime fruit. It was clear that he wanted to cultivate a nine-chakra golden core.
“Hmph! That’s not going to change anything!” Nangong Lie sneered.
He thought that the guy must have lost all hope, and attempting to break through was a last-ditch effort.
That guy was desperate!
“Charge!”
He brandished his qi aura, and the broken sword in front of him began to hum.
The other teams of prodigies were prepared to attack too.
At that moment, Tang Hao waved his hand, and bags of holding flew out. The bags opened, and many points of brilliant crystal light flew out.
Innumerable spirit stones gathered and surged toward him like a river.
When they got close to him, the spirit stones melted and turned into the pure spiritual liquid, which Tang Hao absorbed into his body.
The qi in his body surged through his veins, past his nine chakras, and into his diaphragm.
There, the nine-chakra sublime heart spun wildly and absorbed the torrent of qi.
The prodigies were stunned, and their eyeballs almost popped out.
‘F*ck! Those are spirit stones!
‘That supervillain is too extravagant!’
They all wanted to curse. It was too wasteful to use spirit stones to break through to the State of the Golden Core.
The bags of holding continued to fly out. Everyone was stupefied when they saw that.
They did not expect that the guy was also super rich.
“F*ck! Did he stumble upon a vein of spirit stone ore?”
“That’s more like two veins!”
The prodigies exclaimed.
“Quick! Attack before it’s too late!”
A moment later, they came to their senses and ordered their supreme treasures to attack.
Meanwhile, Tang Hao continued to absorb spirit stones. His qi aura continued to expand until it reached its peak.
His body exploded in a resplendent aura and shone like the sun.
