Primordial Era: Starting with Chaotic Double Pupils, Becoming an Apprentice to the Willow God

At this moment, Shi Hao held a bone from an ancient remnant species in his hand, which amused several small birds, who hopped and jumped around, having a great time.

Although the child appeared carefree, Ye Xuan could sense that the dormant power within him was gradually awakening.

"Xiao Hao."

Ye Xuan called out.

Shi Hao paused, immediately dropped the bone, jogged over to Ye Xuan, looked up, and his little face was full of seriousness.

"Big brother."

Ye Xuan reached out and straightened his somewhat disheveled animal skin collar, his expression becoming more serious than ever before.

"The matter of Kunpeng is settled. Now it's your turn."

"There are only two months left until your final battle with Shi Yi in the Void God Realm."

Ye Xuan's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached Shi Hao's ears, each word carrying immense weight.

"During this period, I forbid you from learning any new magical techniques, nor are you allowed to go out and run around."

"Don't bite off more than you can chew."

"What you need to do is calm down and integrate all the True Phoenix Technique, Kunpeng Technique, Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art, and the Grass Character Sword Technique that you currently possess, transforming them into your own Dao."

"You need to adjust your body to its most perfect state and hone your energy and spirit to the extreme."

Upon hearing this, the playful look in Shi Hao's eyes vanished instantly.

He clenched his fists, and his large eyes burned with a fierce fighting spirit.

The pain of having his bones dug out back then, his parents leaving for distant places, his grandfather suffering in his place... all these things had been weighing on his heart for far too long.

This battle was not only for himself, but also to give an explanation to those who loved him.

"Don't worry, brother!"

Shi Hao straightened his back, his voice strong and resolute, revealing an unwavering determination.

"I will definitely study diligently for the next two months and will not slack off!"

"I will win this battle!"

"I will take back everything that is rightfully mine! I will show everyone that the Supreme Bone can be dug out, but the Supreme Heart... cannot be taken away!"

......

The back mountain of Shicun was originally a tranquil primeval forest.

At this moment, however, it was completely enveloped by a terrifying chaotic field.

In the center of the arena, two figures are clashing fiercely.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, Shi Hao's figure flew backward and crashed into a large mountain, causing rocks to tumble down and dust to rise everywhere.

"Again!"

Shi Hao crawled out covered in dust and dirt, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, his fighting spirit only growing stronger.

Opposite him was an avatar formed from chaotic energy. That avatar possessed the same cultivation level as Shi Hao, but wielded perfect combat skills and Ye Xuan's terrifying combat awareness.

Especially the projection of those chaotic double pupils, even with its power suppressed, could still see through the flaws in Shi Hao's every move, often striking first after being attacked later, leaving Shi Hao helpless.

"Well done! That was a brilliant counter-attack!"

At the edge of the field, the witch sat on a blue stone, swaying her long, slender legs. He was holding a handful of sunflower seeds, enjoying the spectacle.

"That brat is so arrogant all the time, he deserves a good beating! Young Master Ye, go for it, give him a spanking!"

Ye Xuan, who was controlling his avatar, raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing the noisy voice.

He turned his head, looked at the gloating girl, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Witch, you seem to have a lot of free time."

"Since you're so energetic, why don't you go and spar with him? You're a disciple of the Intercepting Heaven Sect, with a wide variety of techniques. You can give him some pointers and add some unpredictability."

Upon hearing this, the witch froze instantly as she was eating sunflower seeds.

She glanced at Shi Hao, whose face was bruised and swollen, then at Ye Xuan's unfathomable avatar. Her expression immediately fell, and she threw the melon seeds aside, protesting loudly:

"Hey! You big bad guy! Are you kidding me?"

"I'm a saint! I'm meant to be pampered, I don't want to go in and be a punching bag! What if this brat hurts me?"

Ye Xuan wasn't annoyed; he simply flipped his hand over.

A bright red fruit, radiating a rich innate spiritual energy, appeared in his hand.

As soon as the fruit appeared, the surrounding air became sweet, and the laws of the Great Dao seemed to be cheering.

This is a spiritual fruit from the primordial world, which is nothing short of a supreme medicine for the beings of this realm.

"After a day of sparring, this fruit is yours."

'

Ye Xuan said calmly, then added, "If you perform well and can bring out his potential, I might consider passing on a complete Ten Fierce Treasure Technique to you."

"Glug."

The witch stared at the spirit fruit, and upon hearing the words "Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques," her eyes widened instantly, and her throat involuntarily bobbed.

All notions of saintly modesty and reluctance to be a punching bag were thrown to the winds at this moment.

"Alright!"

The witch flashed into the field, giving Shi Hao a dazzling smile, and a string of silver bells appeared in her hand.

"Little brother, your big sister is here to pamper you! It's my honor to teach the future young supreme master!"

Seeing this, Ao Tong couldn't help but shake his head slightly, sighing inwardly: It seems this witch from the Intercepting Heaven Sect is destined to fall into Ye Xuan's hands. Her methods of manipulating people are even more terrifying than her cultivation level.

"bring it on!"

Shi Hao shouted, his body erupting with runes as he charged towards the witch.

The battle erupted instantly.

The witch truly lives up to her reputation as a successor of a great sect from the upper realm; her methods are indeed bizarre and unpredictable.

The secret techniques of the Jietian Sect emphasize seizing the last glimmer of hope, often launching attacks from unbelievable angles, making them impossible to defend against.

At first, Shi Hao suffered a lot because he was not used to this tricky fighting style, and he got a few more scars on his body.

However, in the intense battle, Shi Hao's talent was fully unleashed.

He no longer adhered to fixed moves, but began to disassemble and reassemble the various magical techniques he had learned.

"The True Phoenix Never Dies!"

With his left hand, Shi Hao unleashed a crimson glow that filled the sky, and the phantom of the True Phoenix cried out as it repaired his injuries and withstood the witch's attacks.

"Kunpeng Speed!"

His right hand spun with black and white energy at incredible speed, leaving afterimages in the void as he turned to chase after the witch.

Even more terrifying, a faint image of a tender green grass appeared between his eyebrows.

That was the sword intent of the Grass Sword Technique, incomparably sharp, and it even evolved into the technique of transforming divine thoughts into swords. With a single slash, it caused the witch's soul to feel a stinging pain.

"This brat... how come he gets stronger the more we fight?"

The more the witch fought, the more terrified she became.

A few days ago, she felt she could still keep this kid under control.

But how much time has passed?

The opponent was already able to keep up with her pace, and even showed a slight tendency to counter-suppress her.

"melt!"

Shi Hao let out a low growl.

Behind him, the only cavern suddenly opened up, like a black hole that swallowed the sky and the earth.

He poured all his unparalleled supernatural powers—the Grass Character Sword Technique, the Kunpeng Technique, the True Phoenix Technique, the Willow God Technique, the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art, and the Heavenly Tribulation Light newly formed from the Supreme Bone in his chest—into that cave.

The grotto-heaven transformed into a colossal "furnace of heaven and earth," using its own body as fire and the laws as fuel to forge hundreds of scriptures, all in an effort to create an invincible body.

"boom!"

An overwhelming aura erupted, directly blasting the witch away.

"I'm not fighting anymore!"

The witch, panting heavily and drenched in sweat, waved her hand. "This kid is a monster! I'm going to die from exhaustion if we keep fighting like this!"

She did her best, but even she found it extremely difficult to work with Shi Hao now.

"Want to rest? It's still early."

Ye Xuan's voice rang out at just the right moment.

With a wave of his sleeve, the intensity of the field increased once again.

"Ao Tong, you're here too."

Ye Xuan looked at Ao Tong.

Without wasting words, Ao Tong took a step forward and conjured an avatar to join the battle.

Not only that, with a thought, Ye Xuan caused the chaotic energy to circulate, and two more youthful avatars, the True Phoenix and the Kunpeng, actually appeared in the arena.

Four formidable enemies are besieging us!

"Big brother! You're going to kill me!"

Shi Hao let out a miserable scream. Before he could catch his breath, he was blown away by the wings of the Kunpeng incarnation. Then he was burned by the True Phoenix Fire and howled in agony.

This is simply inhuman torture.

But under such extreme pressure, Shi Hao's potential was developed to its fullest extent.

His physical body became increasingly crystalline and resilient through breaking and rebuilding, and his primordial spirit was polished to be as brilliant as divine gold.

Of course, Ye Xuan didn't really intend to ruin his younger brother.

Whenever Shi Hao reached his limit, Ye Xuan would take out the precious medicine that he had already refined.

That was a medicinal liquid made by boiling together primordial spiritual roots and divine medicines from the lower realm.

It can not only instantly heal injuries, but also fundamentally enhance Shi Hao's foundation.
