Chapter 717 The Strange Strangeness Has Arrived!
"what?"
After hearing Qingyi's words, Lin Dong's mouth was so wide open that an egg could fit inside.
He looked at the three faint strands of immortal energy within Shi Hao's body, then glanced at Qingyi and Fengwu. After confirming that they weren't joking, he gasped, "Two strands of immortal energy are enough to make him this strong. Brother Shi Hao cultivated three strands of immortal energy in one go. How strong will he be in the future?"
Luo Feng smiled and said, "No one can predict the future, but at least for now, he is already ahead of everyone else."
Han Li nodded in agreement: "Brother Shi Hao was able to ignite three thousand divine flames with his Venerable body and cultivate three immortal energies. This achievement should be recorded in history even in this world."
Qian Renxue said softly, "Brother Shi Hao is too ruthless to himself. He burned his divine soul and attacked with all his might without holding back. Ordinary people wouldn't dare to try such a thing. No wonder my elder brother values him so much..."
"He cultivated three strands of immortal energy at the same time... how did he manage to do that?"
Honghuang stood aside, looking at Shi Hao with a look of shock in her eyes.
She had seen countless geniuses in the Upper Realm, but she had never seen anyone as ruthless to her as Shi Hao.
He burned his divine soul, ignited three thousand Dao flames, and cultivated three immortal energies.
Each of these three things is an extraordinary feat that ordinary people would not dare to imagine!
But he accomplished it all by himself.
"This Shi Hao is amazing! I want to be like him in the future!"
The Taiyin Jade Rabbit looked at Shi Hao with envy, wishing it could quickly ignite its divine fire and cultivate immortality like Shi Hao.
"—Smack!"
Cao Yusheng patted her head and laughed, "I think you should put your rabbit ears away first."
"You fatso, what do you know?"
The Moon Jade Rabbit glared at him, snorted, and then hopped away.
"—Whoa!!!"
Just then.
Shi Hao, who had already lit the divine fire, finally awoke.
He opened his eyes, stretched, and then, as if nothing had happened, stood up and loosened his limbs: "The process was a bit painful, but after it was over, my whole body felt much better..."
At this moment, the voice of the Void Heaven Divine Vine rang in his mind again: "You have succeeded... Three thousand flames, three strands of immortal energy, you have accomplished what no one before you has ever done. Your future path will be wider than anyone else's."
Shi Hao smiled and said, "I have to thank you for your help this time. If it weren't for your spirit leaf, I probably would have died under those three thousand flames long ago."
The Void Heavenly Vine sighed and said, "I only gave you a little help. What truly made you succeed was your own courage and perseverance. Burning your divine soul is something not everyone has the guts to do."
Shi Hao didn't say anything more. He turned to Lin Dong and the others and smiled, "Let's go. We should go and meet those ancient freaks."
Lin Dong excitedly pumped his fist: "I've been waiting for this day for a long time! Brother Shi Hao, how strong are you now? Can you kill a freak of the Divine Fire Realm with one punch?"
Shi Hao thought about it seriously and said, "We'll have to try to find out."
After calming themselves down, the group prepared to continue exploring the ancient immortal realm.
However, at that moment, something strange happened.
"Look... what's that?"
The Moon Jade Rabbit was the first to notice the anomaly, and it pointed into the distance with trembling hands and shouted.
The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw that a layer of gray haze had somehow spread across the surrounding bluestone paths, making the three thousand ancient bluestone paths appear extremely gloomy.
That smog wasn't ordinary fog; it carried a decaying, deathly aura. Just one breath of it sent chills down your spine, as if your very soul were being frozen.
"Oh no, this is..."
The Void Heaven Divine Vine trembled in Shi Hao's cave, its voice shaking.
Clearly, she had witnessed this scene more than once during the long years of her life.
Those extraordinary figures she once followed underwent strange changes in this smog, ultimately perishing both in body and soul.
Shi Hao frowned, becoming increasingly alert. He could sense that something was approaching them from behind the mist.
The feeling was like being watched by an unseen ancient beast, with every pore on your body sending out warnings.
"Everyone be careful, stay back to back, don't get separated..."
Luo Feng shouted in a deep voice, the power of the Golden Horned Beast surging within his body, ready to strike at any moment.
A glint of excitement flashed in Lin Dong's eyes: "Another one? Perfect, I've been itching for a fight for ages..."
"--despair!"
"--despair!!"
"--despair!!!"
Suddenly, a series of eerie footsteps echoed on the empty ancient cobblestone road.
The voice sounded unhurried, yet every step seemed to resonate deeply with everyone.
next moment.
A figure slowly emerged from the smog.
The figure walked step by step toward Shi Hao.
The moment that figure emerged from the smog and appeared before everyone.
Everyone gasped in shock.
This was because that person's appearance and aura were exactly the same as Shi Hao's.
The same eyebrows and eyes, the same expression, the same temperament, even the slight upward curve of the corners of their mouths are exactly the same.
The only difference was that his eyes lacked the liveliness and determination of Shi Hao's; instead, they were empty and lifeless, like a manipulated puppet.
What is this?
Han Li's face turned pale, and he subconsciously took a step back, shielding Lin Dong in front of him.
At the same time, the voice of the Void Heaven Divine Vine rang in Shi Hao's mind again: "The strange thing... it has come again. This is a strange change, your own shadow, and also your greatest enemy. I have seen it before. When those unparalleled heroes were breaking through to higher realms, such shadows would also appear. They fought against the shadows, and in the end... they all failed."
Shi Hao looked at the figure that looked exactly like him, and his expression suddenly became serious.
He could sense that the shadow was not an illusion, but a real living being.
The other person's aura was exactly the same as his!
Even the number of divine fires within their bodies is the same.
"He's targeting me..."
Shi Hao said calmly, slowly raising the broken sword in his hand.
"Brother Shi Hao, I'm here to help you!"
Lin Dong wanted to step forward to help, but Luo Feng stopped him.
Luo Feng pointed to the area above Shi Hao's head and reminded him, "Look there..."
Lin Dong looked up and saw that a strange lamp had appeared above Shi Hao's head at some unknown time.
The lamp was completely black, and its body was covered with twisted runes.
"That is……"
Lin Dong was stunned.
He didn't know what the lamp was, but he could sense that it was definitely not something Shi Hao had made.
At this moment, Luo Feng continued, "That mysterious creature that suddenly appeared is exactly like Shi Hao in both appearance and aura. Moreover, that strange lamp also appeared on its head. It is obviously aimed at Shi Hao. If we act rashly, it may trigger other terrible things."
