Chapter 1717 - Ancient Path Into the Lower Realms

They really did find it. It was precisely this path, existing in the destroyed Life Restricted Region!

Shi Hao was excited and moved, all of his efforts weren’t for naught after all. He found the mysterious path back home.

In the distance, the Fearless Lion was incredibly shocked. Did Huang really successfully find the path?

“You, come here.” Shi Hao beckoned the lion over.

The golden lion was extremely careful, standing near the great rivers. It felt the pressure of the great dao, not daring to truly enter the water.

“Do you have the courage to enter that ancient path?” Shi Hao asked.

The golden lion shook its head. Even though it saw the ancient path, it was still worried. What if there was danger when it went inside?

At the same time, it was hopeful, expectations in the depths of its eyes, hoping that Shi Hao would go inside. If something unexpected happened, then it would be freed.

Chi! 

A divine rainbow flew out, wrapping around the golden lion. It was like a chain, binding it firmly, moreover dragging it towards that ancient gate.

Shi Hao was a Self Release Realm cultivator, while the Fearless Lion still hadn’t reached this level. When the two were compared, there was a huge difference, so it was easily restricted.

“You…” It released a roar, never expecting Shi Hao to be this strong. Even while he was standing where the two rivers intersected, he could still capture it.

In reality, there were no dangers where the two rivers intersected. Even though that place was covered in chaotic energy, it was extremely peaceful. It was as if that ancient gate could protect this place.

“Just go inside.” Shi Hao pushed open the gate, and then threw the golden lion in.

Kacha!

In that instant, sounds of bones breaking could be heard from within the golden lion’s body. It was suppressed by a mysterious power, simply about to explode to pieces.

“Ah…” It screamed miserably.

In that gate, there didn’t seem to be much danger, but there was a formless forcefield that suppressed creatures, making them endure power exceeding the limit.

Even the golden lion couldn’t hold on, which was why its body was about to be crushed as soon as it went in.

Sure enough, it could only hold on for a moment. It began to bleed from all seven apertures, cursing out endlessly. It was because it was going to die!

This wasn’t some suppression of a magical formation, nor was it a divine ability or a precious technique, just a mysterious and powerful domain’s power that was crushing it!

Shi Hao immediately pulled it out, because there were still some chains on its body placed by him beforehand. If he was a step too late, the golden lion might have truly died there.

“Huang, I’m going to stake it all against you!” The golden lion screamed. It had never been in such a miserable state before, who knew just how many of its bones broke, even its body warping beyond recognition, about to become a lump of paste.

It roared out, yet it couldn’t stand up, laying powerless on the ground.

“Alright, if there are any difficulties, we’ll face them together. I just wanted you to get a share of both the delights and hardships.” Shi Hao said.

“Delights and hardships my ass, why didn’t you go inside!” The golden lion was furious, really wishing to bite him.

“I am going inside right now!” Shi Hao let it go. He really did step inside, pushing open that ancient gate, stepping into the ash brown stone stairway behind it.

In that instant, Shi Hao felt as if he was struck by thunder, entire body shaking greatly. The bones in his body released pi pa sounds, suffering a great blow, body about to break apart.

This was terrifying after all. Even someone as powerful as him suffered so greatly, in such a dangerous situation.

Pu!

Shi Hao coughed out a mouthful of blood, because he felt as if a great star smashed down on his back.

Then, his chest, his frontal bone, the back of his head, his entire body felt as if he was being hammered by great stars, suffering pressure that couldn’t be any greater.

This was a suppression of the extreme, a bit greater than even the greatest strength he currently possessed!

Shi Hao understood. This gate was extremely terrifying, regardless of whether it was the golden lion or himself, or anyone else, the power they faced was greater than one’s own.

At Shi Hao’s level, he was definitely someone who already transcended above, because he did this in every single cultivation realm, perfect and flawless, or else how could he overlook all of his peers, sweep through all of the foreign Emperor Clan youngsters?

However, he suffered so greatly here. This was a type of extreme realm suppression, but it exceeded the limits of what he could currently endure. Blood gushed out from his entire body.

All of his pores were spraying out blood, Shi Hao becoming a blood person. The bones in his body continuously released gabeng gabeng noises.

The power was too terrifying!

He was extremely shocked. No wonder even that golden lion, with its tremendous aptitude, was almost killed the instant it entered, directly having a hundred bones broken. It was terrifying after all.

Fortunately, Shi Hao stuck it through. Eventually, his bones continuously released noises, but he managed to hold on.

Even though blood was still trickling out of his pores, he really did hold on. At the very least, all of his bones were fine, not a single one broken.

After a long time passed, even though he coughed out a few more mouthfuls of blood, his condition didn’t worsen further. He took a step forward, but he discovered that this path was extremely difficult, that it was like this the entire way.

In the end, Shi Hao stood there, only returning after silently experiencing this place for a long time.

The golden lion was in complete despair. Could it be that this fella really had an innate immortal body? It really was freakish, actually able to withstand it!

He was hoping that something unexpected would happen to Shi Hao. If he died inside, then it would be free to roam the world.

“I believe that apart from me, there might not be many more who can endure this power in this world now.” Shi Hao said to himself.

Then, his expression changed. He threw the golden lion into a spatial magical artifact, saying, “Sorry.”

After saying this, he brought the magical artifact with him, entering this gate. He wanted to carry out a test, see if there would be any danger if he brought his parents inside.

The golden lion was entirely golden, but right now, its face turned a bit green. “Little bastard, you and me aren’t finished!”

Fortunately, it was unaffected. After the magical artifact was collected into Shi Hao’s body, he was the one who endured all of the external pressure, it didn’t spread into the spatial magical artifact inside of him.

“There is no danger. This way, I don’t have to worry anymore.” Shi Hao said. He let the golden lion out.

Then, the man and beast leapt out of the chaotic earth. That great river overflowed, continuously interweaving, returning to its original position.

“Everything worked out perfectly! Let’s go!”

After Shi Hao and the golden lion fully recovered, he rode on its body, leaving this region, entering the great earth below.

As they left, the two rivers in the skies disappeared, the great dao patterns all vanishing.

Then, Shi Hao left the land of ashes, speeding along, thus departing into the distance.

Since he found his path home, he didn’t wish to stay for too long in the three thousand provinces. After cleaning up some matters, he would bring his parents with him, hurry down into the lower realms.

“It truly is regretful. I couldn’t find anything about the people or events related to Supreme Hall.” Shi Hao sighed.

On the way back, he shook his head. When he returned to the three thousand provinces, he always paid close attention to this, even asking Immortal Qin about it, but there were no results.

“Forget it, once I return to the three thousand provinces in the future, I’ll carefully search for everything then.” Shi Hao released a light sigh.

The Supreme Hall bloodline could no longer be found now. Even that cheap master Qi Daolin from back then disappeared without a trace.

Shi Hao hastened along, returning to Qin Clan.

The moment he returned, he saw that many people’s expressions were strange as they looked at him, carrying reverence.

“Bro, you’re back!” Qin Hao immediately hurried back, eyes blazing.

“What happened?” Shi Hao asked.

“Big brother, do you not even fear supreme beings? News spread outside, saying that Wind Clan wanted you dead, yet in the end, they were completely wiped out by you. Even after supreme being level figures took action, yet you were still unaffected.” Qin Hao said.

Shi Hao was stunned. The news of the intense battle with Feng Qiang, Yuan Qing, and the others already spread?

Shi Ziling and Qin Yining also hurried over, both of them as if relieved from a burden, releasing a sigh of relief. It was because they really were worried badly. Their eldest son faced off against a supreme being, how could they not be uneasy? They were scared that something dangerous happened, already almost worried sick.

Soon afterwards, Immortal Qin also came, coming to inform him of some things.

Now, many powers in the three thousand provinces heard what happened, all of them incredibly shocked, feeling extremely uneasy.

This was especially true for those who previously joined up, wishing to deal with Shi Hao, all of them unable to sit peacefully.

“There were news that the Nine Heavens’ Wind Clan old ancestor took action, wishing to kill you!” Immortal Qin said.

Wind Clan’s old ancestor’s two talismans weren’t able to kill Shi Hao, triggering huge alarm, leaving this clan in an extremely passive situation. It was rumored that this supreme being was going to personally descend into the lower realms to kill Shi Hao.

At the crucial time, Immortal Academy and Sacred Academy’s supreme beings stopped at their clan entrance, blocking him, preventing him from entering the lower realms.

Shi Hao was shocked. Wind Clan’s ancestor actually wanted to personally take action

Thus, when news leaked out, people bringing news down from the Nine Heavens, quite a few powers from the three thousand provinces were shaken.

“Look, the treasures that have been brought over are piling up higher and higher.” Immortal Qin laughed.

In a few buildings, the treasures and materials really were piled high, all of them things some great sects resolved themselves to part with to neutralize the grudge, bringing them over.

“Child, this time, have you made some progress? Did you find that ancient path?” Shi Ziling asked.

“I have, I already found it. We can go back!” Shi Hao said.

When these words were spoken, everyone here became shocked.

“Go, we’re going home! This day, this instant, we are returning to the lower realms!” Shi Ziling said excitedly.

“Okay, we’ll leave right now through that ancient path!” Shi Hao nodded. Now, he was finally going to return to the lower realms.
