And, it's not over yet!
That torrent of energy is still surging and unstoppable!
Furthermore, the increased integration with the Desolate Emperor template brought even more terrifying comprehension and affinity with the laws of heaven and earth!
Shi Hao was suddenly enlightened, and a sudden realization arose in his heart!
The ultimate goal of the Cave Heaven Realm is not nine mouths! It is—ten mouths in perfection!
"Open it... for me!!!"
He roared inwardly and frantically activated the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art, guiding the vast energy to launch an attack on the ethereal and legendary tenth barrier!
Click!
It was as if some invisible shackles had been completely broken!
Boom! ! !
Beside the ninth grotto-heaven, the void was forcibly torn apart once again!
A tenth grotto-heaven, even more dazzling and sacred, seemingly containing the primordial chaos and the origin of all things, suddenly took shape!
Ten Cave Heavens!
The legendary paradise!
At this moment, Shi Hao successfully achieved it!
Om-! ! !
The ten grottoes floated together behind Shi Hao, like ten divine suns illuminating the ages, echoing each other and radiating boundless divine light!
A terrifying aura swept out like a tidal wave, illuminating the entire cave in a dazzling light!
The great Dao resounded, as if celebrating this unprecedented miracle!
"Ten...ten grotto-heavens?!"
Huo Ling'er and Xia Youyu, who were protecting Shi Hao outside the cave, felt the terrifying aura and astonishing phenomena emanating from inside the cave, and their pretty faces were already filled with disbelief and shock!
They stared blankly at the ten floating phantoms of the divine sun, feeling as if their breaths were about to stop!
Ten Cave Heavens!
Isn't that a realm that only exists in the oldest legends?! It's said that only a few supreme beings, the most extraordinary beings of the ancient times, ever reached it!
This little monster... he actually... did it?!
At this moment, both the proud princess of the Fire Kingdom and the proud daughter of heaven from the Heaven-Mending Pavilion were completely stunned by Shi Hao's extremely heaven-defying performance!
However, what happened next left them even more dumbfounded and questioning their existence! The mountain.
Chapter 46: The Evolution of the Unique Grotto-Heaven! Shi Hao Breaks Through to the Spirit Transformation Realm!
Just as those ten grotto-heavens reached their peak and their light shone at its most brilliant moment!
A sudden realization flashed in Shi Hao's eyes!
"The Ten Heavenly Caves, though the ultimate realm, are not the end!"
"Uniting as one, evolving into one unique entity! Only then can one achieve... true perfection!"
He gave a low shout in his heart and once again activated the Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art!
This time, it's not about pioneering, but about integration!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ten dazzling grottoes floating behind him began to tremble violently!
Then, under the horrified gazes of Huo Ling'er and Xia Youyu!
The ten grottoes... actually began to... approach each other! To attract each other! Finally... like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, they collided with a thunderous roar!
There was no earth-shattering explosion!
Only a more profound and mysterious light, as if containing the secrets of the universe's birth and death, suddenly shone brightly!
When the light fades!
The original Ten Caves have disappeared!
There is only one replacement!
A seemingly small place, yet exuding an indescribable aura of antiquity, vastness, and profundity... the Unique Grotto-Heaven!
This grotto-heaven seemed to be a world unto itself! Chaotic energy permeated the air, and earth, fire, water, and wind surged. Faint shadows of the sun, moon, and stars could be seen floating and rotating within it! There were even fragments of laws such as thunder, fire, yin, and reincarnation intertwining and evolving within it!
It was like a... nascent universe!
The One and Only Cave Heaven!
Shi Hao actually... merged the legendary ten grotto-heavens into one?!
This...this is completely beyond the comprehension of Huo "Sanwu San" Ling'er and Xia Youyu!
They felt like their heads were about to explode!
What an incredible feat!
Throughout history, no one has ever been known to have been able to do this!
And at the very moment this unique grotto-heaven took shape!
Shi Hao felt that the power within his body had undergone another earth-shattering transformation!
A terrifying force, far exceeding anything seen before, erupted suddenly, like a volcano that had been accumulating for millions of years!
The solid barrier between the Cave Heaven Realm and the Spirit Transformation Realm was as thin as paper in the face of this power, and was instantly broken through!
boom--! ! !
Shi Hao felt his soul and will suddenly tremble, as if he had broken free from some kind of restraint and began to resonate with some more mysterious law of heaven and earth!
A faint spiritual light began to appear on the surface of his body! The original blood and qi within his body began to transform into a purer and more dynamic "spiritual power"!
Spirit Transformation Realm!
It all happened naturally! Breakthrough!
When Shi Hao slowly opened his eyes, his entire demeanor had undergone a dramatic change!
Although he still looks like a five-year-old toddler, his eyes have become much deeper, as if they hold the stars and the sea!
Every gesture he makes carries a powerful aura of harmony with heaven and earth and control over spiritual energy!
"Hoo..." Shi Hao exhaled a long breath, feeling the unprecedented power within his body and the new insights brought about by breaking through to the Spirit Transformation Realm. A smile of immense comfort and satisfaction appeared on his face.
The One and Only Grotto-Heaven! The Realm of Spirit Transformation!
This trip to Baiduan Mountain was incredibly rewarding!
At that moment, the God-Slaying Stone, who had been hiding in a corner trembling and had witnessed Shi Hao's seemingly superhuman breakthrough, finally couldn't help but speak, his voice trembling:
"Holy crap... Boss... what kind of monster are you? First you had ten caves, then you merged them into one, and you even broke through to the Spirit Transformation Realm... This... this cultivation speed, this monstrous talent... could you be some old monster who died countless years ago reincarnated, or maybe you've just possessed someone else's body?!"
It simply couldn't comprehend how a five-year-old child could do such a thing! It was completely illogical!
Hearing the God-Slaying Stone's complaint, Shi Hao rolled his eyes at it, annoyed: "You're the old monster! Can't I, a genius, be considered a genius?"
Immediately, he turned his head and looked at Huo Ling'er and Xia Youyu at the cave entrance, who were still in a state of extreme shock and were looking at him with the eyes of someone looking at a monster.
Seeing their adorable and shocked expressions, Shi Hao couldn't help but feel amused and couldn't resist teasing them again.
He strode up to the two girls with his short legs, deliberately puffed out his chest, then grinned, saying in a tone that was both smug and arrogant:
"Hehe, ladies, why are you staring at me so intently? Are you... captivated by my handsome, dashing, and unparalleled charisma?"
"Could it be... that he's fallen for me?"
"Pooh!"
"Pooh!"
They almost spoke in unison!
Huo Ling'er and Xia Youyu were instantly jolted awake by Shi Hao's sudden and shameless words!
Looking at the little guy in front of them who had just broken the myth of eternity but had now reverted to his "mischievous child" nature, their pretty faces turned bright red!
I felt both ashamed and angry!
"You little rascal!" Xia Youyu was the first to react, glaring at him angrily, her ears turning bright red.
"You little rascal!" Huo Ling'er was both embarrassed and annoyed, and couldn't help but raise her small fist and lightly punch Shi Hao. "Who...who would like an arrogant little brat like you!"
Although they were verbally refuting him, their hearts were pounding like deer because of Shi Hao's earth-shattering breakthrough and his slightly ambiguous teasing. They couldn't calm down for a long time...
After leaving the Heavenly Bone Forbidden Zone, a land filled with death and misfortune, Shi Hao and his group felt much lighter.
Especially Xia Youyu, after confirming the whereabouts of the Fountain of Immortality, seemed to have a huge weight lifted off her shoulders, and a gentle smile appeared on her cool and beautiful face.
They were not in a hurry to leave Baiduan Mountain, because according to the information Xia Youyu and Huo Ling'er obtained from their respective forces, the trial period of this broken ancient world had not yet completely ended, and the true core area and the final land of creation had not yet been revealed.
"The interior of Hundred Broken Mountains is complex, with many areas existing independently. The path to the core area will only open at specific times or when certain conditions are met," Xia Youyu explained to Shi Hao as they flew. "Moreover, the closer we get to the end of the trial, the more active the native inhabitants of Hundred Broken Mountains become, those powerful indigenous creatures that have survived since ancient times. They will treat us outsiders as prey and hunt us down."
"Native creatures?" Shi Hao's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this. "Are they very strong?"
Huo Ling'er chimed in, her tone grave: "Extremely strong! Some of the native creatures are even comparable to kings and nobles from the outside world! Moreover, they have the advantage of terrain, use unpredictable methods, and are extremely difficult to deal with! Countless prodigies have perished at the hands of these native creatures in previous Hundred Broken Mountains trials!"
"King-level?" Shi Hao stroked his chin, a look of interest on his face. After breaking through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, he had been worried about not finding a worthy opponent to test his strength!
Seeing his eager expression, Xia Youyu and Huo Ling'er were speechless. This little monster really couldn't be judged by ordinary standards!
To avoid unnecessary trouble and to better preserve her strength for the upcoming battle for the core area, Huo Ling'er took out a rare treasure bestowed by the Huo Kingdom's royal family—a radiant divine carpet embroidered with intricate flame runes.
"This is the 'Concealing Void Divine Carpet.' Once activated, it can conceal our figures and aura to a certain extent, allowing us to traverse the void layers. As long as we don't encounter particularly powerful beings or actively expose ourselves, ordinary creatures will have a hard time detecting us," Huo Ling'er explained.
"Oh? Good stuff!" Shi Hao's eyes lit up, and he jumped up first without any hesitation. Xia Youyu followed suit.
As Huo Ling'er activated her magic, the divine carpet flashed and instantly became illusory, carrying the three of them like ghosts as it merged into the void, silently stealthily heading towards the central area of Hundred Broken Mountains.
As Xia Youyu said, the closer you get to the center, the more dangerous the surrounding environment becomes!
They witnessed a colossal stone golem, as large as a mountain, awaken from its slumber and crush a group of human cultivators who were trying to sneak up on them with a single stomp!
They also saw a hundred-foot-long centipede, completely black and exuding highly poisonous miasma, emerge from the ground and drag several powerful ancient remnant cubs into the abyss!
