Chapter 1664 Netherworld Hou Tu, Primordial True Realm

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

The surroundings are dark green grass, as if splattered with countless fresh blood, absorbed by the meadow.

The overwhelming sense of death and the scent of blood made Li Hao survey the area. This was an ancient battleground, littered with the remnants of giant beasts, but the bones were ashen, seeming to have weathered countless years.

Li Hao recognized that many were Ancient Demon Corpses, and given their size, several were Ancient Demons of the Immortal King Realm, considered Demon King Level, yet they too had fallen here, their bones nearing the point of weathering, unable to withstand the starry wind and sand.

"Are you afraid?"

Shi Miao gently asked, turning her head while holding Li Hao's hand.

Li Hao smiled and said, "With you here, I'm naturally not afraid."

Shi Miao also smiled, as a gentle breeze surrounded them. She held Li Hao's hand, strolling slowly through this death-laden place as if they were young lovers walking in a warm spring flower valley.

"If it weren't for slaughtering the Ancient Demons, I wouldn't have chosen a place like this to temper my body."

She explained to Li Hao.

Li Hao shook his head, "It's fine, I've killed more Ancient Demons than we've seen here."

Shi Miao laughed as well, understanding Li Hao's unique abilities. She knew that although Li Hao didn't have Emperor Blood, Chaos Bloodline, or the countless Immortal Medicine and Divine Objects supported by great clan legacies, he possessed his own special powers.

Although she didn't know what those powers were, she knew they were Li Hao's trump card against the geniuses of those great clans.

However, what she truly cared about and loved was not Li Hao's special powers, but Li Hao himself.

And a certain distant unforgettable experience in the future.

"This was once one of the 'nests' where the Ancient Demons came to the True Realm. We became Yellow Springs Valley!"

Shi Miao raised her hand, pointing to a not-too-distant hill, "Look, that's it. Now it's shattered, cleaved by the 'Sovereign', severing this nest and sealing the path for Ancient Demons to descend from here!"

Li Hao followed her finger to see indeed a hill, beneath which was a deep cavity, with the Great Dao Origin of Space floating outside. Although the cave seemed only a few hundred meters wide, it appeared like the Heaven and Earth Space, where each millimeter was likely a vast space akin to a star.

"Sovereign?"

Li Hao questioned, undoubtedly recognizing the imperial title of an Immortal Emperor.

"It's Su Jiuzhe, whom you just met," Shi Miao said, "He was once called the Sovereign of the world, therefore, after becoming an emperor, he was revered as the Sovereign."

Li Hao was momentarily stunned, unexpectedly it was him.

Recalling what Su Jiuzhe had told him, about opening the Final Realm 'Great Thousand Worlds', Li Hao could roughly guess the reason behind his imperial title.

"This nest is a dead end now, abandoned by the Ancient Demons and desolated, but the Yellow Springs Power lingering here remains."

Shi Miao led Li Hao not far from the hill, where the space was layered upon layers. For those who hadn't mastered the Great Dao Origin of Space, stepping here would likely mean getting eternally lost, akin to a maze, where each millimeter was a massive heaven, making it difficult to escape.

"Wait here, I'll be right back."

Shi Miao said to Li Hao.

Li Hao asked anxiously, "Need my help?"

Shi Miao smiled at Li Hao, "No, don't worry, I'm more anxious about an accident happening."

Her gaze as she said this made Li Hao understand, she wasn't worried about herself meeting an accident, but rather worried that an accident would mean never seeing him in this life.

He slightly nodded, knowing Shi Miao's Primordial Spirit Power was extremely strong, at the peak of the Immortal Monarch Realm, and he might not be able to help even if he followed.

"Then I'll wait for you."

"Alright."

Shi Miao smiled; these few words would be what she always said in the future.

She released Li Hao's hand and sped towards Yellow Spring Valley.

From afar, the starlight cast by the dusk illuminated only the side of Yellow Spring Valley, its front shrouded in shadow.

Soon, Shi Miao disappeared from Li Hao's sight after just a few dozen meters, as if a nimble fish plunged into the layer upon layer of space like rippling waves.

Li Hao stood silently, like a sculpture.

Without playing chess or carving, he just gazed at the cavern.

Waiting earnestly for one's loved one, there is no room for other distractions.

For a long, long time.

Suddenly, the cavern seemed to tremble slightly, followed by a profound and vast dark yellow light burst forth.

Shi Miao's figure rushed out from the cave entrance, with space ripples unable to disturb or shake her. She was no longer in a Primordial Spirit state but rather in a physical body, exuding an intensely deep and weighty aura.

Shi Miao quickly crossed the layered space, eagerly returning to Li Hao.

"Have you waited long?"

Her first sentence.

Li Hao shook his head, looking at her physical body, "Your body seems incredibly formidable."

He felt it was in no way inferior to his own tempered Immortal Body, perhaps even more powerful and terrifying.

"This body is tempered and molded from the late Yellow Springs, mastering the lethal power of Yellow Springs and possessing great deterrent and destructive power against Ancient Demons."

Shi Miao glanced at herself and said to Li Hao with a smile.

Li Hao sensed the killing aura emanating from her, as if it congealed the murderous thoughts of countless vengeful spirits. It was a truly fearsome God of Slaughter body!

"This lifetime, do you plan to cultivate to a higher realm?"

Li Hao asked.

Shi Miao smiled and shook her head, "This lifetime is for accompanying you; slaying Ancient Demons is just incidental."

Li Hao's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. Even though he knew of her deep affection, such words were still moving.
