Chapter 714 A Terrifying and Bizarre Turn of Events!

The words of the Void Heaven Divine Vine were like a thunderclap, exploding directly in Shi Hao's heart.

He never expected that so many amazing young prodigies back then, such as the War Emperor, the Demon Lord, and the six ancient celestial beings, all failed when they tried to break through to that realm.

Failure is bad enough, but something bizarre will happen, turning you into a monster that is neither human nor ghost.

This is terrifying.

Shi Hao remained silent for a long time, his mind churning with thoughts.

He thought of Liu Shen and Zhu Chen, as well as those who had guided him on his path of growth.

They never told him how perilous the path to godhood was.

But there was always a strange solemnity in their eyes.

Especially Zhu Chen, when the other person looked at him, there was always a strange sadness in their eyes, along with a hint of pity, as if they were pitying him.

He couldn't understand it before.

But now he understands.

That must be because they too had groped in the dark, or witnessed the miserable state of the losers.

That's why I know some things.

However, Shi Hao's gaze quickly hardened.

He knew that the path he cultivated was the same as Zhu Chen's—the path of invincibility.

Those who embark on this path must possess unwavering determination and a resolute spirit.

Even if Mount Tai collapses before you, you must never waver in your resolve to follow the Dao.

If he backs down because he heard the strange story.

Then what path does he need to cultivate?

What's the point of talking about being invincible?

“The Void Heavenly Vine…you’re right, the path I’m on now is indeed dangerous…”

Shi Hao raised his head, looked directly at the Void Heaven Divine Vine, and said in an unquestionable tone: "But I am different from those so-called ancient geniuses. Just because those people fail does not mean that I will fail. Everyone has their own path. The failure of others cannot be a reason for me to back down."

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from his body.

The Void Heaven Divine Vine stared intently at Shi Hao, a strange light flashing in its eyes.

At this moment, she felt an unprecedented aura emanating from Shi Hao.

That's not arrogance, nor is it ignorance; it's a kind of self-confidence that comes from the heart.

She had only ever seen this kind of confidence in a very small number of people.

Those individuals had all come incredibly close to success.

"Your character is indeed extraordinary."

After a moment, the Void Heaven Divine Vine slowly said, "To tell you the truth, in the long years, I once followed a five-crown king. That person was incredibly talented back then and wanted to become a god in an unconventional way by using the origin of the five elements and to walk his own path. I watched him step by step reach the peak of the divine path, watched him ignite the five elemental divine fire, and also watched him... undergo a strange change."

At this point, the voice of the Void Heaven Divine Vine suddenly became low and deep.

She glanced at Shi Hao with a melancholy look, and then continued, "I still can't forget that scene from back then... His body began to twist, strange patterns appeared on his skin, his eyes turned blood red, and he let out inhuman roars. His Five Elements Divine Fire was not used to temper himself, but instead burned his soul. In the end, he turned into a ball of black flame, which burned for three days and three nights, leaving nothing behind."

"Moreover, this is not an isolated case... Over tens of thousands of years, the most brilliant beings, the strongest who wanted to surpass the ancient sages, have all suffered such tragedies. Some did it when they ignited their divine fire, some when they were trying to break through to a higher realm, and some when they were in seclusion to comprehend the Dao... No one knows where such changes come from, and no one can escape them." Shi Hao's heart was filled with turmoil.

The words of the Void Heavenly Vine reminded him of something Zhu Chen had once told him.

Now, the foreign army is eyeing the opposite side of Tianyuan with predatory intent, and there are also undercurrents surging within the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Now, the Void Heavenly Vine tells him that there are still unpredictable twists and turns on the path to godhood.

Is there any connection between these two things?

"So... is the strange change you mentioned related to the invasion from another realm?"

Shi Hao couldn't help but ask.

He felt there might be some connection between the two.

Otherwise, why would those people suddenly change their ways for no reason?

"Another land?"

Upon hearing Shi Hao's words, the Void Heavenly Vine was taken aback at first, then immediately shook its head: "I don't know... I've been asleep in the Immortal Ancient Ruins for countless millennia and don't know much about the outside world, but one thing I'm certain of is that the Immortal Ancient Land we are in now is a relic left behind by the last destroyed era. There are too many unknown powers remaining here, powers that are incompatible with the laws of this world and are more likely to cause strange changes..."

She looked at Shi Hao, her tone becoming serious again: "It's good that you have this confidence, but you absolutely cannot blindly rush towards that realm. Otherwise, your fate will surely be the same as those failed ancient geniuses. I don't want to see another promising genius perish on the road to godhood."

Shi Hao took a deep breath and firmly remembered the words of the Void Heaven Divine Vine.

However, his desire to break through to that realm became even stronger at this moment.

He wanted to see what exactly this strange phenomenon the Void Heaven Divine Vine was talking about.

Is it a method from another realm, or a curse left over from the Immortal Ancient Era?

No matter what it is, he has to uncover it himself.

Then, tear it apart!

Shi Hao regained his composure, clasped his hands in a fist salute to the Void Heavenly Vine again, and said gratefully, "Thank you for telling me all this. If it weren't for your reminder, I might have been completely unprepared when I broke through in the future, and wouldn't have even known what unexpected events might happen. I, Shi Hao, will remember your kindness..."

The Void Heaven Divine Vine smiled slightly: "You don't need to thank me... I just don't want to see a sacred herb wasted, nor do I want to see a promising prodigy perish along the way. Since you insist on taking this path, I won't stop you, but you must remember to act within your capabilities and not force things..."

After saying that, she plucked a few spirit leaves from her body and handed them to Shi Hao.

"These are my leaves, containing pure life force. If you consume them, they can quickly heal physical wounds, far more effectively than ordinary medicines, and without any side effects."

Shi Hao took the few spirit leaves, hesitated for a moment, and then immediately put them all into his mouth.

"Gurgle~"

As those few spirit leaves entered his mouth.

Shi Hao immediately felt a warm liquid flow into his stomach.

In an instant.

A surge of vitality immediately welled up from his body, and then, like a sweet spring, it completely healed all the wounds that had been scorched by the Dao Fire.

at the same time.

His aura also rose from the bottom of the valley at this moment, and quickly returned to its peak state, even becoming more powerful than before.
