They sensed that the Fire Emperor before them was fundamentally different from them in terms of life essence.
They were already Venerables, at the peak of the Eight Domains, the pinnacle of cultivation.
An existence that subtly surpasses them... A word emerged in their minds: God.
The Venerable One of Demon Spirit Lake was speechless, but his expression remained calm.
The Fire Emperor must not have become a god yet, but he has certainly touched upon the realm of gods.
As long as no accident occurs at the stage of igniting the divine fire, and the breakthrough fails and the person perishes, then he will surely become a new god.
Even though they haven't broken through yet, there's already a significant gap between their strength and that of the Fire Emperor.
Especially in the Stone Kingdom's palace, with the Stone Emperor watching from the sidelines, if a real fight breaks out, they will definitely be attacked from behind.
"I never expected the Fire Emperor to have reached this point; it's truly astonishing," said Venerable Demon Spirit Lake. "It seems the Fire Emperor gained considerable benefits from that little hut."
"The benefits are right here. If you don't get them, you can't blame anyone else," the Fire Emperor replied calmly, already standing in front of the Venerable of Demon Spirit Lake.
The illusory flames burned fiercely, scorching the heavens and earth, seemingly about to touch the body of the Venerable Demon Spirit Lake and incinerate him.
"call!"
A hazy light appeared above the head of the Demon Spirit Lake Venerable, with a faint yet terrifying light protecting his body.
To shield against the oppressive power of the Fire Emperor, as well as some of the Fire Emperor's methods.
"Hmm?" The Fire Emperor's eyes showed a solemn expression as he realized the origin of the object on the head of the Demon Spirit Lake Venerable.
"It's a divine object, no wonder it dares to make such a fuss."
"Fire Emperor has a good eye." Venerable Demon Spirit Lake remained calm, but his eyes revealed a hint of arrogance.
"My Demon Spirit Lake has a long and ancient heritage, and it is eternally indestructible. Gods and spirits are also present there."
"The depth of its heritage is beyond the imagination of outsiders."
The other Venerables were also somewhat surprised. Why were they here to watch this drama unfold? Why was Demon Spirit Lake making such a big move?
They also brought a relic from a deity.
Those who know the situation might think you're just here to watch the drama unfold, while those who don't might think you're about to attack the capital of the Stone Kingdom.
However, considering the relationship between Demon Spirit Lake and that person with double pupils and a natural supreme being, everyone vaguely understood.
Is this guy here to kill the animal that loves to eat beast milk?
The Fire Emperor stared at the divine relic for a moment, then slowly raised his hand.
Chapter 880 Finally Reached
"Today I'm going to test the so-called depth of your Demon Spirit Lake."
Even after the opponent revealed a divine relic, the Fire Emperor still wanted to make a move!
Relics of the gods? I, the Fire Emperor, am after relics of the gods!
He did not yield because of a divine relic; otherwise, his near-divine power would be greatly diminished.
Just as Demon Spirit Lake cannot back down and damage its dignity simply because of his great leap in cultivation.
The atmosphere in the palace suddenly became tense, with ancient formations appearing and disappearing, ready to suppress the entire area at any moment.
Or perhaps it's to suppress someone. As for who that person is, it certainly isn't the Fire Emperor.
"Come back." A calm voice rang out. "If you start fighting here today, how will Shi Hao perform?"
It was Yunhua who stopped the Fire Emperor.
If this battle breaks out, who will care about Shi Hao? Such a thing must not be allowed to happen.
The Fire Emperor stopped, his aura dissipating completely, obediently. He had told his senior not to fight, so he didn't.
"Our Fire Kingdom was not founded on the charity of other races, and it has been able to survive to this day because of this."
"Everyone understands the saying that 'trouble comes from the mouth'."
“Gods, our Fire Kingdom has had its share of such cases since its founding.”
The Fire Emperor did not continue to press the matter, but simply returned the words he had just spoken to Venerable Demon Spirit Lake, and then returned to Yunhua's side.
His meaning was clear: our Fire Kingdom once had gods, so we must also have their relics.
However, although everyone has relics of the gods, I am about to become a god!
"You look quite impressive, Fellow Daoist Huo," Yunhua said with a smile.
Since Yunhua met the Fire Emperor, he has behaved very well.
Therefore, he received more and more benefits from having a small house.
This is by no means a conspiracy; it's simply that the Fire Emperor's strength has increased, and he has passed more trials through his own abilities.
Then, during the trial, my luck improved after the trial, and the drop rate was higher.
When faced with Yunhua's praise, the Fire Emperor naturally responded with humility.
His current prestige is entirely thanks to Yunhua.
However, he didn't say this aloud, because if he did, it would expose Yunhua's identity.
The other Venerables looked at Yun Hua with even greater astonishment. Just who was this person?
The Fire Emperor could stop the impending war with just a word. When he arrived in the capital, the Fire Emperor personally went out to greet him and showed him great respect in every word and deed.
If everyone didn't know his cultivation level, they would have thought a god had descended!
The Fire Emperor had just exuded pressure, but this mysterious venerable one, whom even the near-god-like Fire Emperor respected so much, was even more intriguing.
Yunhua didn't make a move, but everyone sensed something was amiss.
In a corner, Shi Ziling and his wife exchanged a glance, roughly guessing Yunhua's identity.
It might be the "Brother Yun" their eldest son mentioned. He's a deity.
"This is the person who has taken care of Hao'er for so many years..." Qin Yining said with a complicated tone.
“We should thank him,” Shi Ziling said. Qin Yining nodded.
The people from Immortal Mountain beside them showed a change in expression.
If we can bring Shi Hao into the Immortal Mountain, wouldn't there be hope of adding another Venerable to the Immortal Mountain?
It's even possible to establish connections with the vast power behind this venerable one.
The force behind such a terrifying weapon shaped like a willow leaf must be extraordinary.
It has to be said that some people are not beautiful, but they still dream big.
Some people in Bulao Mountain were thinking of taking away everyone connected to Shi Hao.
In their minds, since you miss your parents so much and still love them deeply after almost ten years, it's understandable.
Now that we've met, shouldn't I stay by my parents' side day and night?
What? You don't want to come? Aren't you unfilial? Was all that affection just for show?
Suddenly, the aura of the people from Demon Spirit Lake fluctuated, and everyone could feel their anger and killing intent.
It turns out that while the standoff was taking place at the palace, the battle in the skies above the capital had already been decided.
Shi Hao slew the giant spider at its peak formation! He also collected the giant spider's body, intending to make full use of it.
This made the people watching from Demon Lake green with envy.
Shi Hao descended from the sky and sensed the people at the Demon Spirit Lake on the street.
"Welcome to seek revenge."
Unfortunately, no one dared to make a move.
Shi Hao shook his head. "A bunch of cowardly spiders. You don't dare to speak just because I killed one of your Formation Kings."
His armor disappeared inch by inch, and Shi Hao walked towards the Martial King's Mansion not far away. This time, no one stopped him.
Behind him lay a blood-soaked path forged by the blood of fifty kings and nobles.
Shi Hao stood in front of the gate of the Wu King's Mansion.
This place is adorned with carved railings and jade steps, majestic and magnificent, making it the most prestigious and imposing among all the royal palaces.
There were guards at the gate of the Wu King's Mansion, but no one stopped the little one.
What happened today has already been widely known.
These guards, of course, wouldn't be so foolish as to stop the little one from entering.
They had also witnessed the killings Little Dot had committed along the way, and their legs were almost weak with fear, so they dared not stop Little Dot.
Looking at the Wu Wang Mansion behind the gate, Shi Hao's eyes were somewhat profound.
"I do have some recollection of it."
This used to be his home; if that incident hadn't happened, he wouldn't be in Stone Village.
He will grow up in this Martial King's Mansion, bearing the title of a born supreme being, showered with glory and countless halos, until he reaches the pinnacle.
Perhaps together with Shi Yi, they will be known as the Twin Stones of the Martial King's Mansion, famous throughout the desolate region, and hailed as a legend.
They might also join the cultivation movement at Demon Spirit Lake.
At that time, Stone Village was just a legendary ancestral land of the Stone Clan to Shi Hao, and he had no connection with it.
Shi Hao suddenly realized that, from a certain perspective, what happened back then also had some advantages.
Brother Yun was right after all; everything has two sides and needs to be viewed dialectically.
Brother Yun's words always make a lot of sense, and when I think of them occasionally, I feel they are golden words of wisdom.
Shi Hao felt that Brother Yun must be a person with a lot of experience.
In the past, they may have experienced countless storms, twists and turns, ups and downs, stumbles and falls, and even heartbreaks, etc.
Only then can one comprehend so many profound truths.
If Yunhua knew what the little one was thinking, she would definitely be full of doubt.
When did I experience such dramatic ups and downs? When did I suffer heartbreak?
Shi Hao took a deep breath and stepped into the Martial King's Mansion. "Martial King's Mansion, I, Shi Hao, have arrived!"
The sound echoed throughout the entire Prince Wu's mansion, startling everyone.
In fact, some people had already come out to wait before Shi Hao even arrived at the Martial King's Mansion. Now, seeing the heroic Shi Hao walk in, they were all in a daze.
Shi Hao entered the Wu King's mansion and saw the people inside.
Chapter 881 The Martial King's Mansion
Their faces were filled with surprise and disbelief.
"Is it really that child from back then?"
"He didn't die, and he even achieved so much!"
"This is unbelievable. Could someone be impersonating him?"
Some of the people from the Prince Wu's mansion who knew about what happened back then were discussing it, and none of them could believe it.
Shi Hao scanned the faces of these people one by one. He didn't recognize them, which meant that when Shi Yi's side persecuted him back then, these people did not intervene and sided with Shi Yi.
At least until he left the Prince Wu's residence, these people did not interfere.
Those outside the Prince Wu's residence were all quite confused by the noise.
Who exactly is Shi Hao? What happened back then? How did things turn out like this?
"Are you really Shi Hao, the child from back then?" an old man stepped forward and asked.
"Nonsense!" Suddenly, an old voice came from not far away.
A large group of people walked out from the depths of the Wu King's mansion, each with a gloomy face and a grim expression.
Among them were elderly people and young people.
