Chat group: Fusion of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, Healer Willow Goddess

At the same time, he was muttering incantations, seemingly using some kind of secret technique of the Celestial Race!

hum!

A dazzling purple halo suddenly spread out from her body, carrying a strong repulsive force!

Shi Hao felt a slippery, hard-to-grip sensation, and his arm loosened, allowing Yun Xi to break free!

Swish!

Like a startled deer, Yunxi jumped up instantly, her clothes disheveled, her hair loose, her pretty face as red as if it were about to bleed, and she retreated more than ten feet away in shame and anger!

She clutched her chest, where Shi Hao had pressed, and felt as if his warmth and breath still lingered there, making her feel ashamed and furious!

She looked at the hooligan in front of her who clapped his hands and seemed to still be enjoying himself. She was so angry that she trembled all over, and her eyes were even filled with tears of grievance!

She had never suffered such humiliation in her entire life!

"You...you just wait!"

Yunxi used all her strength to let out a delicate shout full of anger and grievance at Shi Hao!

"The Spirit Pendant! I will take it back with my own hands! And today's humiliation! I, Yunxi, will remember it!"

"We'll meet again someday! Just you wait and see!"

After saying that, she could no longer bear the strange looks from the crowd, nor could she bear the despicable hooligan in front of her!

She glared fiercely at Shi Hao, then without hesitation, turned and flew away as a streak of purple light.

The ancient remnant cubs, equally shaken, also fled in disarray out of the Hundred Herbs Garden without looking back!

Watching Yunxi's fleeing figure, Shi Hao touched his nose, then took out the Lingxi pendant that still carried the girl's body heat and faint fragrance, and looked at it with a playful smile.

"You ran pretty fast. But, I'll keep this earring for you for now."

"Hehe, the goddess of the Celestial Race, she seems... quite interesting?"

Shi Hao had a good impression of Yun Xi, but he needed to teach her a lesson.

If he ever encounters her again, Shi Hao will definitely carry her back to the village as his "guardian beast."

Chapter 43: The Confident Shi Hao, and the Double-Pupiled Shi Yi!

Inside the Hundred Herbs Garden.

As the Celestial Goddess Yunxi led a group of ancient remnant cubs, who had been suppressed and left in a sorry state, the suffocating tension in the air eased slightly.

Shi Hao watched Yun Xi's embarrassed and angry figure disappear into the distance, then stroked his chin and weighed the Lingxi pendant in his hand, which still carried the warmth of the young girl's body and a faint fragrance. A playful smile appeared on his lips.

"Tsk tsk, the Celestial Clan's fairy has quite the temper. But, these little earrings are rather pretty." He casually tucked the Spirit Rhinoceros Pendant into his pocket, pondering its purpose; it seemed to be more than just a simple ornament.

"Hey! Little monster! You...you just now..." Huo Ling'er, who was standing next to her, finally came back to her senses from the shock. Looking at Shi Hao's nonchalant appearance, and thinking about the ambiguous and heart-pounding "wrestling" scene just now, her pretty face couldn't help but turn red again, and her tone became a little stuttering, "You...how could you treat a girl like that?! And you even stole her things! You...you're such a bad guy!"

Although she was criticizing, for some reason, she felt a faint, inexplicable, sour feeling in her heart.

"What did I do?" Shi Hao spread his hands innocently. "She said I was domineering first. I was just reasoning with her and collecting some 'compensation for emotional distress' on the side. Besides, she couldn't beat me, so why should she blame me?"

"You..." Huo Ling'er was so angry at his twisted logic that she couldn't speak. She could only stomp her foot, snort, and turn her head away, not wanting to pay any more attention to this infuriating guy.

"Hehe! Well done, kid!" At this moment, the God-Slaying Stone, who had been watching the drama unfold, jumped up and down in front of Shi Hao. "That's how it should be! To deal with those self-righteous women, you have to use tough methods! Let her know who's in charge! I think that girl is pretty good-looking, it would be perfect to take her back as our bandit queen!"

"Get lost!" Shi Hao slapped it away in annoyance. "What do you know, you piece of junk rock!"

After dismissing the God-Slaying Stone, Shi Hao looked at the Hundred Herbs Garden that he had "cleared out." The exotic flowers and rare herbs inside still exuded an alluring fragrance and rich spiritual energy.

"Alright, don't be angry." Shi Hao walked to Huo Ling'er's side and softened his tone, which was rare for him. "There are so many spiritual herbs here, let's hurry up and pick them, otherwise we might cause more trouble later."

Huo Ling'er glanced at him. Although she still felt a little uncomfortable, reason told her that Shi Hao was right.

The allure of the Hundred Herbs Garden is too great. The great battle just now must have alerted many beings. It is not advisable to stay here for long.

"Hmph! At least you still have some conscience!" She snorted and stopped being coy, immediately starting to pick the rare spiritual herbs she recognized that would benefit her cultivation of the fire path.

Seeing this, Shi Hao smiled slightly, called over Maoqiu, and began the "sweep".

He possesses the inheritance of the Supreme Hall, his knowledge far surpasses that of ordinary people, and he has a thorough understanding of the medicinal properties of various spiritual herbs.

In addition, with its keen intuition comparable to that of a treasure-hunting rat, Maoqiu specifically targets the most aged and potent medicinal herbs!

The man, the monkey, and the stone worked in perfect harmony, and like a locust swarm, they quickly harvested most of the best-quality medicinal herbs in the herb garden.

Although Huo Ling'er also gained a lot, compared with Shi Hao, it was nothing.

Looking at the mountain of spiritual herbs in Shi Hao's storage space, each radiating a different kind of precious light, Huo Ling'er felt both envious and somewhat speechless.

This guy... not only is his strength freakish, but he's also so skilled at looting treasures!

Having thoroughly looted the Herb Garden, the two were finally satisfied and prepared to leave.

“Hey, little monster,” Huo Ling’er asked as they walked, “Where are we going next? This Hundred Broken Mountains is so big, it’s easy to get lost without a destination.”

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao agreed that it made sense. Although he knew some of the original plot, the internal space of Hundred Broken Mountains was chaotic, and he only had a general impression of many places, not knowing their exact locations.

"Do you have any good suggestions?" Shi Hao looked at Huo Ling'er. After all, she was the princess of the Fire Kingdom, and she certainly had more information than him.

Seeing that he had asked, Huo Ling'er showed a smug look on her face, cleared her throat and said, "Of course! According to the intelligence gathered by my Huo Kingdom, there are three main places of creation in the Hundred Broken Mountains."

"Oh? Which three places?" Shi Hao immediately became interested.

Huo Ling'er extended her slender fingers and began to introduce: "The first place is the 'Hundred Herbs Garden' that we just came from. It is full of spiritual herbs and is a treasure land that all cultivators dream of. However, we have already obtained the greatest benefit."

"The second place is called 'Treasure Dividing Cliff'. It is said that it was a place where a powerful being divided up treasures in ancient times. Various magical artifacts are constantly manifested on the cliff face. If you are lucky enough and have high enough comprehension, you may be able to comprehend powerful magical techniques from it, or even directly gain the recognition of ancient magical artifacts!"

"Treasure Sharing Cliff?" Shi Hao nodded. He remembered this place; it was indeed a good place.

"And the third place?" he pressed.

Upon mentioning the third point, Huo Ling'er's expression noticeably became more serious, and a hint of apprehension even flashed in her eyes.

"The third place... is called the 'Heavenly Bone Forbidden Zone'!" she said slowly. "It's one of the core areas of Hundred Broken Mountains, and also the most dangerous place! Legend has it that it's the site of the fall of ancient gods and demons, littered with the skeletons of powerful beings, including the remains of true gods and even celestial beings! Those bones have endured countless ages, long since become sentient, and have even given birth to terrifying lingering resentments and forbidden powers. Ordinary cultivators who approach it may have their souls shattered by the divine might contained within the bones!"

"Of course, danger also means opportunity!" Huo Ling'er changed the subject, a hint of longing appearing in her eyes. "It is said that the true divine inheritance is buried deep within the Heavenly Bone Forbidden Zone! Every time Hundred Broken Mountains open, countless geniuses try to break in, but very few manage to come out alive!"

"And..." Huo Ling'er seemed to have thought of something and added, "I heard that one of the strongest people who entered Hundred Broken Mountains this time, the one with naturally double pupils—Shi Yi, his target... seems to be the Heavenly Bone Forbidden Zone!"

Shi Yi! A person with double pupils! A forbidden zone of celestial bones! 1

Upon hearing these keywords, Shi Hao's previously calm eyes instantly flashed with a dazzling light!

It's here! It's finally here! 2

Besides seeking opportunities and good fortune, one of his most important goals in entering Baiduan Mountain was to meet his "good cousin"!

That being who stole the supreme bone that should have belonged to him, the one hailed as a born god!

He wanted to see just how astonishing this so-called double pupil was!

We should also see what a spectacular scene will unfold when this person born with double pupils encounters the true "Supreme" who is "already dead" and possesses the template of the Desolate Emperor!

"The Heavenly Bone Forbidden Zone, right?" Shi Hao grinned, his small face filled with powerful confidence and high fighting spirit. "Alright! Then let's go to the Heavenly Bone Forbidden Zone!"

"Huh? You really want to go?!" Huo Ling'er was startled and quickly tried to dissuade her, "Little monster, don't be impulsive! The Heavenly Bone Forbidden Zone is really dangerous! Even my father warned me not to venture there unless absolutely necessary! And that Shi Yi... he's said to be ridiculously strong! Even some of the older generation are no match for him!"

“I know.” Shi Hao nodded, but his tone was unusually calm. “However, I’m more interested in seeing just how strong those so-called double-pupiled individuals really are.”

His gaze was fixed on the direction of the Heavenly Bone Forbidden Zone, his eyes deep, as if trying to pierce through endless time and space.

Looking at his confident, even slightly excited, expression, Huo Ling'er opened her mouth, but ultimately couldn't bring herself to say anything to dissuade him.

She suddenly realized that perhaps for this little monster, the so-called danger and the so-called powerful enemy were nothing at all.

"Alright..." she could only sigh helplessly, "Since you've made up your mind, then this princess... will accompany you! But it's agreed that if we encounter any danger we can't overcome, we must retreat immediately!"

"Don't worry." Shi Hao smiled.

So the two set off again, heading towards the Heavenly Bone Forbidden Zone, a place full of unknowns and dangers, but also containing earth-shattering opportunities!

……

The Heavenly Bone Forbidden Zone is located in the central area of ​​the Hundred Broken Mountains.

The closer one gets to this area, the more desolate and eerie the surrounding environment becomes.

The once vibrant jungle gradually disappeared, replaced by a vast, desolate, gray-white landscape.

Scattered across the earth are countless enormous skeletons of various shapes!

Some are as large as mountains, and even if only their skeletons remain, they still exude a terrifying pressure that makes people's hearts tremble!

Some are crystal clear, like divine jade, with faint divine light and rune imprints remaining on their surface!

A thick aura of death permeated the air, along with a desolate and rebellious spirit that seemed to emanate from ancient gods and demons, causing a stinging pain to one's very soul!

This place seems to be a graveyard for gods and demons!

"What...what a terrifying place..." Huo Ling'er looked at the shocking and chilling scene before her, her pretty face turning slightly pale, and she subconsciously moved closer to Shi Hao.

Even the God-Slaying Stone put away its previous arrogance and obediently stayed on Shi Hao's head, not daring to move.

Only Shi Hao remained calm. He could sense that although this area was dangerous, it also contained an exceptionally rich concentration of the essence of heaven and earth and a certain special primordial energy!

Cultivating here might bring unexpected benefits!

"Squeak!"

Just then, the furry ball on my shoulder suddenly woke up, sniffed hard with its little nose, and then barked excitedly, pointing its little paws in a certain direction deep in the restricted area.

"Oh? There's a treasure?" Shi Hao's eyes lit up.

It seems this Heavenly Bone Forbidden Zone truly lives up to its reputation!

They cautiously stepped into this forbidden land, following the direction indicated by the fur ball.

Along the way, they encountered many other creatures who had come to explore, including human geniuses and descendants of ancient species.

Without exception, all the creatures that entered this place were extremely cautious and dared not be careless in the slightest.

The danger here comes not only from the powerful native creatures that may exist, but also from the scattered remains of gods and demons on the ground!

These remains often contain powerful lingering resentments or restrictions; if accidentally triggered, the consequences are unimaginable!

Shi Hao witnessed firsthand how a young human, confident in his strength, tried to pick up a seemingly extraordinary golden beast bone. However, as soon as he got close, the bone suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light, instantly turning him into ashes! He didn't even have time to scream!

"Hiss... This is terrifying!" Huo Ling'er was terrified.

Shi Hao also became more vigilant and cautious.

Just after they had penetrated about a hundred miles into the restricted area, an extremely violent energy fluctuation suddenly came from ahead! And a deafening collision sound!
