Perfection: I have a Tree of Ten Thousand Paths

Chapter 57 Unrivaled (Please read on! A massive 6000-word chapter!)

The scene reached a freezing point, and the dozen or so ancient remnants that had attacked earlier now had the idea of ​​retreating.

However, the next moment, their thoughts reached their peak.

After killing the violent ape, Qi Shi'an did not retreat. Instead, he stepped forward, trampling over the ape's corpse, and charged towards the dozen or so ancient remnants that had attacked him.

He was determined to fight ten against one and annihilate all the ancient remnants here. He would never allow his enemies to continue to exist in the world!

Qi Shi'an moved like lightning, transforming into a blazing crimson-black light, and charged towards a group of ancient remnants, creating a gust of wind that swept up thousands of kilograms of rocks, sending them flying wildly in the dust.

"Boy, don't think you're invincible in this world!" roared a strange snake several meters long.

This is an ancient remnant species, the Fei Yi. Its entire body is crimson red, as if cast from divine metal. It branches off below its head, possessing two bodies, six legs, four wings, and is covered in thick scales, making it both ancient and ferocious.

"bass!"

The Fei Yi spat out a flying sword wreathed in crimson light, bursting forth with intense flames. This flying sword was forged from a fang, its entire body as lustrous as red agate.

When the Fei Yi are born, there will be a great drought, because their clan is proficient in the art of fire. The crimson fanged flying sword is enveloped in firelight and slashes towards Qi Shi'an.

"A trivial skill!"

Despite the danger, Qi Shi'an remained calm. His body was enveloped in blood-black lightning, and runes rained down from the sky. His overwhelming killing intent was terrifying, making him appear like a young demon god who had emerged from hell, causing people to tremble with fear.

When Fei Yi faced Qi Shi'an and sensed the overwhelming killing intent, his scalp tingled.

It never expected that this little kid in front of it would be so terrifying. It only wanted to take advantage of the chaos to get rid of this human boy, but it never expected to kick a hornet's nest.

"Clang!"

Qi Shi'an used his physical body to confront the bright red flying sword, unleashing endless runes and lightning in an attempt to shatter the treasure.

Fei Yi's face darkened, and its desire to retreat intensified. In just one exchange, the flying sword it had been forging had already developed cracks. If the battle continued, not only would the flying sword shatter, but its life would also be in danger.

This treasure was formed from its strongest rune bone, and it was refined by it for more than ten years before it gradually took the shape of a flying sword.

Now that cracks have appeared, it is heartbroken, and it is unknown how many resources it will need to be refined and repaired to restore it to its original state.

"break!"

Qi Shi'an shouted, and a black sun suddenly rose behind him, dark and silent, flying out in an instant and crashing into Fei Yi's crimson flying sword.

"Click!"

With a crisp sound, a blood-black divine light enveloped the crimson flying sword, causing the cracks in the treasure to widen until it finally shattered.

"stop!"

The Golden-Winged Roc finally moved. A beam of golden light shot into the sky, and the heavens were instantly filled with divine radiance, enveloped in holy light. An overwhelming and terrifying pressure descended, causing the mountains and the earth to tremble.

"puff!"

The treasure that Fei Yi had refined shattered, and it coughed up blood, its expression ferocious. It didn't want to stay any longer and turned to escape.

"Now that I've chosen to attack, how could I let you escape!"

Qi Shi'an shouted, ignoring the charging Golden-Winged Roc. He opened his palm and unleashed a thick bolt of demonic lightning. The lightning intertwined and struck the heavily injured Fei Yi, who screamed in agony as his entire body was charred black by the electric shock.

At the same time, twelve gleaming silver tiger spears appeared behind Qi Shi'an. As the runes rotated, they unleashed a soaring killing intent and shone brightly.

Twelve spears were arrayed, their tips instantly shifting, piercing through clouds and mist, their runes urging them on, pressing towards Fei Yi's physical body.

"puff!"

The massive spearhead pierced through Fei Yi's body, and the twelve spears, like giant pillars, pinned Fei Yi to the Treasure Sharing Cliff.

"you----"

The golden-winged roc glared angrily at the human boy.

"What do you mean, you little chick? You're next!"

Qi Shi'an licked the blood off his hands, a pure killing intent flashing in his eyes.

A group of ancient remnants were stunned, their jaws nearly dropping to the ground. This was too audacious! How dare they call the powerful half-blooded Golden Roc a little chick—how arrogant!

"kill!"

With a sharp cry, the Golden-Winged Roc commanded the dozen or so ancient creatures to charge forward, each unleashing their signature techniques. In an instant, strange birds soared into the sky, and ferocious beasts roared through the forest as they all attacked.

Suddenly, a fierce wind arose in this place, runes shone brightly, sand and stones flew, lightning flashed, and flames soared into the sky. All kinds of magical techniques and supernatural powers appeared at once, which would terrify any young genius.

Shi Hao, the Nine-Headed Lion, the Big Red Bird, the Sable, and others who were watching from the sidelines all changed color, as they were genuinely worried about Qi Shi'an.

Upon witnessing this scene, Princess Huo and her entourage broke out in a cold sweat. Such a fierce attack would injure anyone who came, and in severe cases, it could even annihilate them completely with a single blow.

However, Qi Shi'an remained calm and composed in the face of the vast array of magical techniques and supernatural powers unleashed.

He casually waved his hands, and a black sun appeared. A powerful suction force swept over, shattering all the precious light with a "boom" and completely devouring all the precious techniques and supernatural powers.

The black sun transformed into a massive black hole, a dark, oppressive mass that surged forward, intent on devouring and tearing apart all enemies, annihilating them all. Everyone trembled; if swallowed by this black hole, they would surely be torn apart, reduced to a pulp.

The dozen or so ancient remnants immediately changed their expressions; even if they joined forces, they couldn't stop them.

Just then, the Golden-Winged Roc opened its mouth and spat out a grayish rock, which quickly grew into a mountain peak, blocking the black hole.

The appearance of this treasure trove sent chills down the spines of the nine-headed lion, the great red bird, the sable, and the others.

The gray mountain peaks burst forth with auspicious clouds, shimmering with an eerie magnetic light, crackling and hissing. Qi Shi'an's twelve spears trembled uncontrollably, as if they were about to be sucked away.

"This is the primary magnetic peak!"

The nine-headed lion was greatly surprised when it saw it. It had heard of this treasure before, which was extremely terrifying and powerful, and was specifically designed to counter metal treasures such as swords, spears, halberds, and daggers.

Qi Shi'an squinted, staring intently at Yuan Ci Peak, secretly wondering if he could seize it and refine it into Moro Peak to restore some of its divine power.

"receive!"

The golden-winged roc in the sky roared, which was the reason why it dared to be so arrogant. Possessing such a mysterious and unpredictable treasure with immense power, it was naturally fearless of anyone and could defeat any weapon.

"They do have some strength!"

Qi Shi'an waved his hand and unleashed twelve runes, which disappeared into the twelve White Tiger Spears. The spears immediately stopped trembling and were suppressed by an even stronger force.

This Yuan Magnetic Peak was originally a sacrificial spirit. It is a Yuan Magnetic Mountain that can suppress everything and is known as invincible in the world.

However, it ultimately suffered a defeat, being torn apart by a golden-winged roc, and was then refined into this treasure called Yuan Magnetic Peak, which can be called a supreme treasure.

The primordial magnetic light danced and swirled, each burst capable of piercing through a powerful figure, turning them into a pulp, and could also gather numerous treasures, extract their essence, and transform them into one's own.

The Golden-Winged Roc was greatly surprised to find that it could not retrieve the twelve spears. The twelve spears were not considered treasures, but they could remain unmoved in front of the Yuan Magnetic Peak by relying on the power of runes.

The Golden-Winged Roc looked at Qi Shi'an with much more apprehension.

"Little chick, don't blame me if you get smashed to pieces!"

Qi Shi'an shouted, his whole body erupting with blood-black divine light, lightning intertwined, and a black sun appeared.

Then he threw a punch, and the figure of the Primordial Roar materialized and appeared, its ferocious flames soaring to the sky, its killing aura surging, which shook back the Yuan Magnetic Peak in the sky.

"Suppress and kill!"

The Golden-Winged Roc roared, using all its strength to make the magnetic light swirling around the Magnetic Peak even more intense, unleashing an even more terrifying divine might, and stopping the oncoming True Roar.

This burst of energy did have some effect, slowing down the speed at which the True Roar pounced, but it was still unstoppable.

Qi Shi'an continued to perform hand seals, his gestures constantly changing, and endless runes soared into the sky, enveloping the world, with rosy light filling the sky.

The runes coalesced into ferocious beasts, such as the Demon Roc, White Tiger, Flood Dragon, and True Roar.

Each one was a precious technique that Qi Shi'an had learned, and at this moment they unleashed boundless power, containing the aura of the Great Dao.

Now, his mastery of runes has surpassed the first level of the Cave Heaven Realm and reached a higher realm. After merging with the Myriad Dao Tree, his understanding of heaven and earth has also deepened.

"You all step back!"

The golden-winged roc in the sky roared, its whole body glowing, ready to use its powerful divine abilities to kill this human youth.

It sensed the aura, almost like the Great Dao, emanating from the human youth as he unleashed his precious technique. The runes filling the sky were incredibly profound, clearly beyond its comprehension.

This child must not be allowed to live; he will surely become a formidable enemy in the future!

As soon as the Golden-Winged Roc opened its mouth, not only did the dozen or so ancient remnants flee into the distance, but Shi Hao and his group also hurried away. This place was bound to become a land of calamity.

"Retreat? I'm not going to give them the chance to retreat!"

Qi Shi'an's eyes were sharp, his eyes were filled with divine light, and his black and white pupils seemed to contain the great Dao of heaven and earth. A blood-red divine halo appeared behind him. At this moment, he was like an invincible demon god!

"Buzz!"

Apart from Shi Hao and his group, all the other races here were overwhelmed by a powerful aura and lay on the ground unable to move.

This is the "domain" born after Qi Shi'an's ten grotto heavens were united!

Within one's own "domain," anything that can inflict an invisible weakening on the enemy, while the precious techniques and supernatural powers one unleashes will far surpass those of the opponent—"What is this?!"

The golden-winged roc was instantly pressed to the ground by an inexplicable force.

At this time, the bottom of the Treasure Sharing Cliff is inhabited by powerful ancient remnants, powerful races, and humans.

However, since Qi Shi'an has chosen to expose the unique cave, he will not let these people leave and will kill them all!

Huo Ling'er and her group were not suppressed. She also realized that perhaps it was because she had no intention of harming him and had some interaction with the little boy beside her that she was able to escape unscathed.

Shi Hao looked at the divine halo behind Qi Shi'an, which was as bright as the sun, and his eyes were full of envy!

"Is this... the One and Only Cave Heaven?!" Shi Hao muttered.

"Festival!"

Qi Shi'an unleashed his unique grotto-heaven, which he named the Holy Demon Grotto-heaven!

The crimson divine halo instantly grew enormous, enveloping the entire Treasure Dividing Cliff.

Then, under everyone's gaze, the figures of Zhenhou, Mopeng, Baihu, Jiaolong, and Junni appeared on the blood-red divine ring, each one incredibly powerful.

"Refine!"

Qi Shi'an made a hand seal, and Moro Peak exhaled black mist, which enveloped the world, and the sky darkened again.

Several ferocious beasts formed from precious techniques pounced down, their divine rings spewing out demonic lightning, turning the place into a purgatory!

"No!"

Within a ten-mile radius of Fenbao Cliff, screams filled the air as countless lives were being refined to death by the power of Moro Peak and the Holy Demon Cave.

"No, you can't kill me!"

The golden-winged roc cried out, its eyes filled with terror. No living being is unafraid of death; even gods tremble at the very last moment.

At this moment, it felt itself being truly refined, its life force rapidly draining away, and it was afraid!

"Human boy, spare me, and I'll offer all my treasures!"

"Spare me!"

"ah----"

A group of powerful beings screamed throughout the heavens and earth. Under the "domain" of Moro Peak and Holy Demon Cave, they were suppressed to the death, their life force gradually draining away, and they would soon become corpses!

"Death is your only way out!"

Qi Shi'an's eyes were deep and cold, his expression indifferent, as if he didn't care about life at all; it was a feeling of disregard for life.

He slightly raised his hand, and the refining speed of Moro Peak and the Holy Demon Cave accelerated, with countless divine chains extending from within the cave.

This is the divine chain of order of the Tree of Myriad Paths; each chain that falls will take the life of a living being.

"what!"

After a series of screams, the entire mountain forest gradually fell silent. Only when it was completely quiet did Qi Shi'an withdraw his cave.

Within a ten-mile radius of Moro Peak, the land was turned into a dead zone and a land of calamity. Corpses were scattered all over the mountains and forests. Apart from Shi Hao and Huo Ling'er's group, no other living beings survived. They were all wiped out!

Huo Ling'er and the other sealers were dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief. Then came a chilling coldness that made them tremble with fear.

They didn't understand what kind of supernatural power it was, which wiped out all living beings within a ten-mile radius of the Treasure Sharing Cliff in just a moment, turning even the earth into scorched earth.

"Pfft!" Qi Shi'an spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Xiao An!"

Shi Hao ran forward and helped Qi Shi'an up.

Qi Shi'an waved his hand and grinned, "It's nothing, just a minor injury."

The reason he was able to wipe out so many lives on such a large scale was thanks to the treasure of Moro Peak. If he hadn't broken through to the Unique Cave Heaven and had strong recovery ability, it probably wouldn't have been as simple as just a minor injury.

However, forcibly activating Mount Moro and annihilating so many lives was worthwhile.

All these treasures belong to them; no one can take them away.

"Quickly, take all the treasures and corpses that have fallen within a ten-mile radius. Take as much as you can! We need to leave this place as soon as possible," Qi Shi'an said solemnly.

We cannot stay here for long. The commotion here will soon be noticed by the people in the ruins, and then more people will come to investigate. It's better to avoid trouble and leave.

Moreover, there are so many opportunities in Hundred Broken Mountains, they can't just stay here idly, they should take advantage of the time before it closes to obtain more rare and precious materials.

Upon hearing his reminder, Shi Hao, the Nine-Headed Lion, the Big Red Bird, and the others all sprang into action, collecting as much as they could.

Qi Shi'an sat cross-legged to regulate his breathing and recover. Although he had suffered some minor injuries, he had refined the essence of so many living beings, and now the essence in his cave was enormous, enough for him to break through to the mid-stage or even late-stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

The excess essence will be integrated into the Myriad Dao Tree, allowing the flower buds to grow rapidly.

"Junior sister, don't just watch! Come and help! I'll treat you to barbecue later!" Shi Hao blinked and started instructing Huo Ling'er.

There were still many corpses on the ground containing vital energy, and even if they didn't, they still had some precious blood. However, most of the runes on their precious bones had been destroyed, which made Shi Hao feel sorry for them.

"oh oh----"

Huo Ling'er's beautiful eyes were filled with shock. She and several sealers had been there for some time, but they had not approached and had been standing in the distance. This battle was too sudden.

The fight started suddenly and ended just as suddenly. What surprised them even more was how incredibly strong that fierce kid was!

"These two boys are so young, yet so malleable; they truly have limitless potential!"

"Especially that ferocious child, whose bloodthirstiness probably even surpasses that of the young Emperor; he's truly terrifying!"

At this moment, their eyes were filled with apprehension as they looked at Qi Shi'an. The sealers were filled with boundless turmoil and could only behave themselves, not daring to say a word.

"Go and help!"

Huo Ling'er immediately gave the order, and the cloaked figures behind her quickly sprang into action. As they collected the corpses, they dipped their fingers in the blood of several ferocious beasts and examined them carefully.

They discovered that, in addition to the Golden-Winged Roc being a half-blooded divine bird, there were actually several other half-blooded creatures!

These half-blooded creatures were mostly just watching from the sidelines when they were caught in the crossfire and ultimately died. It's truly a pity.

"Sigh, the precious bones have all been destroyed, and the flesh is necrotic and inedible. Only the precious blood is somewhat useful. It's all wasted!" Shi Hao muttered with a worried expression.

"Stop thinking about the precious bone. You'll get what you're meant to have in the future. Now hurry up and leave; someone will be here soon."

Qi Shi'an said calmly that he had already sensed with his divine sense that people from all directions were rushing over.

"We've all packed up. Let's find a quiet place and simmer some delicious food!" Shi Hao couldn't help but gasp at the thought of the delicious meal.

Qi Shi'an stood up and unleashed countless runes towards Moro Peak, a method taught by Supreme Luo Xiu for refining Moro Peak.

Before everyone's eyes, Moro Peak rapidly shrank, transforming into a palm-sized rock.

From now on, there will be no more Treasure Sharing Cliff in the Hundred Broken Mountains, but the outside world will have an additional treasure: Moro Peak!

Everyone was stunned by what they saw. They had never imagined that they could actually take away this Treasure Sharing Cliff!

"Xiao An, what's wrong with you—" Shi Hao asked in confusion.

"Let's leave here first, and we'll explain later," Qi Shi'an said with a smile.

The group concealed themselves, took a detour, and eventually escaped over a hundred miles away.

This is a mountainous area, similar to other parts of the ruins, but because Moro Peak was refined and taken away by Qi Shi'an, the black mist that originally lingered around this area all year round also dissipated.

The sky cleared up, and the place was very secluded and quiet. A clear spring gushed out in the mountains, and the big red bird, the nine-headed lion, and others were preparing to pluck the feathers of the golden-winged roc.

But Huo Ling'er stopped him, "Don't move. This is a half-blood divine bird. It would be a waste to eat it like this. I have an ancient recipe here. Once we find the precious medicine, we can stew it together and it will have a miraculous effect."

This roc was originally huge, but its life force was completely absorbed, making it small and thin.

However, he still had a lot of vital energy in his body, and his whole body shone with golden light and divine radiance, enough for them to eat their fill.

"Are there really so many rules?"

A group of remnants were already impatient, for these were the descendants of gods, rare in the world.

"There are many intricacies involved. When combined with precious medicines, rare woods, and spiritual blood, the medicinal power of this Golden Roc will exceed your imagination."

Huo Ling'er looked very serious.

"That's true."

Qi Shi'an spoke, and the group of creatures nodded in agreement, acknowledging the Fire Kingdom princess's opinion.

This is an ancient small world, which is definitely not lacking in spiritual herbs, and there are also many spiritual trees, divine insects, and other medicinal ingredients that can be found.

The prerequisite is that we must first leave this ruin, a place where nothing grows and it's impossible to gather all the items.

"These Violent Apes and Fat Relics are rare relic species, with rich ancient blood that is radiating light. They are also so huge. They are truly rare and enough for us to eat." The big red bird wiped away the drool that was about to drip down its throat.

With a loud thud, Shi Hao picked up its black pot and slammed it down on its head, angrily saying, "You're so cruel! You actually want to eat something human-shaped! Don't roast it in front of me!"

The giant red bird was so angry it jumped up and down, filled with indignation: "You're the cruel one! You don't even eat human-shaped creatures, only ferocious beasts and spirit birds. You're utterly ruthless!"

The nine-headed lion standing nearby was still shaken; it had even been eaten before, and it felt ashamed, so it hadn't dared to tell its group of brothers.

On the banks of the clear pool, several cloaked figures were dealing with demonic birds and ferocious beasts. One of the demonic birds had the head of an elephant, but the rest of its body was no different from that of a bird, and its emerald green feathers emitted a glow.

This is a blue-feathered elephant bird, an extremely rare relic species. It's a pity that its pair of pure white tusks were destroyed, otherwise it would be the most spiritually powerful.

Some people are tidying up, while others are relaxing.

Qi Shi'an and Shi Hao were fiddling with their spoils of war. Shi Hao looked distressed, filled with regret and disappointment. Many of their treasures had been shattered, such as the Crimson Flying Sword, which, even when pieced back together, was no match for the power of the broken weapon.

As for the complete Yuan Magnetic Peak, it was taken away by Qi Shi'an and incorporated into Moro Peak.

Mount Moro has nine layers of restrictions, and each layer, when broken, will unleash astonishing divine power. However, due to damage from the ancient war, only five layers of restrictions remain today.

As for the many treasures within Mount Moro, after Qi Shi'an successfully refined them, they were all integrated into Mount Moro, restoring some of the divine power of this supreme treasure.

However, it is still a long way from returning to its former glory.

Qi Shi'an patted Shi Hao on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't be upset. The broken sword you got is stronger than many treasures, and it can't even compare to ordinary ancient magic weapons."

"Ah~ I feel like none of them can compare to your Baofeng, Xiao An." Shi Hao swayed weakly.

Qi Shi'an grinned. Did he not know what Shi Hao was thinking?

He probably just wanted to ask about the experience of merging the ten grotto heavens into one. Ever since Shi Hao saw Qi Shi'an's strength after merging the ten grotto heavens into one, he had been extremely fascinated by it.

He is currently at the Tenth Heavenly Realm, but he doesn't know how to advance again and reach that so-called Transcendent Realm!

Huo Ling'er, standing nearby, pricked up her ears, eager to know what they were talking about.

"I broke through by accident, but it was really dangerous; it almost cost me my life."

Qi Shi'an sighed and then told him everything about the unification of the ten grotto heavens. Shi Hao was destined to walk this path; this was his belief.

However, he still erased everything about Guan Ganluo Xiu, as he didn't want to involve Shi Hao so quickly because of this matter.

As his friend and a time traveler, Qi Shi'an naturally knew just how difficult the suffering Shi Hao was facing was.

Therefore, he discussed Tao with Shi Hao more in terms of Taoism and sought mutual verification, but his Taoism was ultimately different from Shi Hao's.
