“Look, our Lightning Hounds are running so fast.”
Under the setting sun, a group of children returned with a full load, heading toward Stone Village. Four Lightning Hounds ran, their golden bodies looked like several streaks of lightning intertwined.
“When my sable grows up, it’ll definitely be even more powerful.” A little girl blinked, holding the sable cub.
“Yours won’t do. Do you see? This is the egg of a Scarlet Feathered Crane. In the future, it’ll hatch and become a powerful descendant.” Another youth was extremely happy. He was holding an egg the size of a water basin. Its entire body was scarlet red and sparkling.
“My little tiger cub is the most powerful. In the future, it might even evolve into the noblest white tiger.” Another little fellow carried a tiger cub that didn’t open its eyes.
The redsunsett in the west, setting on the horizon. The group of people didn’t return empty-handed. Their shadows were drawn out by the setting sun, which dyed the sky red. They returned to Stone Village.
The village was bustling with activity. As soon as Shi Hao put down the medicine basket, the four little kids ran into the village, shouting, “Mother, I’m hungry! I want milk!”
This made the villagers laugh loudly. They saw that their harvest was great and had brought back so many precious young beasts and bird eggs. They were shocked and worried, fearing that they wouldn’t be able to control them after they were raised.
“Don’t worry, it’s fine. None of them are savage species. Moreover, with Aunt Green Scaled Eagle and the big red bird watching over them, they should be able to train a battle squad of descendants.” Shi Hao wasn’t that worried. After all, the Willow Deity was guarding this place.
Shi Hao returned. After today, there were only two days left. He was going to enter the Void God Realm to carry out a great decisive battle!
Needless to say, that was a great enemy that was unprecedented. It would exceed all of the dangers he had encountered. This wasn’t just a battle of grudges, but also a battle that would affect his entire life.
After he returned, he didn’t cultivate. Instead, he allowed himself to relax as much as he could and threw everything aside. Right now, what he had to do was return to nature and release his natural instincts.
Shi Hao became a devilish brat again. There was a group of little brats around him, and at night, he led them around the bonfire to eat roasted meat. He wasn’t exactly a good influence.
“Uncle Hao, I heard that when you were ten years old, you were still secretly drinking beast milk. Is that true?” A little kid asked. He had just run back from his mother and was wiping away the milk stains at the corner of his mouth.
The group of children laughed loudly. Even Dazhuang, Qingfeng, and the others who weren’t far away couldn’t help but laugh.
The pride of the village and the number one expert of the youth had this type of embarrassing past. It was like a taint of his entire life. How could Shi Hao endure this in front of a group of little brats?
A little kid moved closer and said, “Uncle Hao, I will steal some milk for you, but you must bring me to play tomorrow.”
The group of people roared with laughter. Shi Hao was embarrassed. He smacked the kid on the head and said, “You brat! Get lost!”
Everyone laughed.
In the end, Shi Hao made a shocking and bold decision. When everyone was about to leave, he entered the mountain, bringing a large earthen jar with him.
A strand of light appeared. The eastern sky was bright red, and the fragrance of milk wafted out from the small courtyard at the front of the village. Shi Hao placed an earthen jar on top of the bonfire, currently boiling beast milk.
“It smells so good!”
Of course, he couldn’t let anyone see it. He was tasting it and let his mind wander off. He remembered his childhood and how carefree he used to be.
Right when Shi Hao told himself to release his natural instincts, not caring about anything else, the other person also adjusted his body’s condition in the great wastelands, rising to the peak.
Speaking of which, the distance between them really wasn’t that far. They were only several thousand miles away. Shi Yi came to the western border for a stroll, and it wasn’t as if he didn’t have any thoughts of finding the first ancestral land.
He was a direct descendant of the Stone Clan. He searched through all types of ancient texts and clues in the clan and kept heading west. He operated the dual-pupils’ incomparable power that could see through fabrications before arriving here.
Unfortunately, he missed it in the end. He was several thousand miles away when he passed by.
He began his return journey. He wanted to find a place that made him feel safe and at ease. Then, he would enter the Void God Realm to kill that “little brother” who had been missing for many years.
“Hey, what a powerful person. Could it be the creature that killed Lord Gray Flood Dragon?” It was a group of humanoid creatures. Their blood energy was everywhere, rising and falling like an ocean.
A moment later, heaven-overflowing fiery light rose into the sky. Several mountain peaks were burned into magma, and more than ten strange creatures tumbled about. They were all killed.
“My subordinates died without the strength to retaliate. They were all killed with a single strike, and even the Li Fire Great Formation they set up to kill pure-blooded creatures exploded. This person is truly terrifying!”
Several thousand miles away, on a mountain peak, a pure-blooded creature muttered to himself. His face was full of shock. He had a symbol bone in his hand, and now that it cracked, which meant that all of his subordinates had died in battle.
On another even higher mountain peak, a male sat on a large rock. Divine flames surged, simply about to burn down the nine heavens. He was incomparably dignified as if a heavenly deity had descended.
“My lord…” The pure-blooded creatures looked up.
“I understand. Their cries before death were sensed by me, and I saw the final scene. It wasn’t that person, but rather a dual-pupiled individual,” said the man seated on the large rock. He was as steady as a boulder within the divine flames, and within his eyes were flickering scarlet flames. Within them were scenes of the sun, moon, and stars being burned.
“What? A dual-pupiled person? After endless years, the ancient dual-pupiled deity has reappeared?!” That pure-blooded creature was shocked.
“It’s a formidable dual-pupiled person. I saw a pair of eyes that could destroy all things,” said the man on the rock.
It was also a teenager. He was submerged in divine flames, and only a tall outline could be seen. His true appearance couldn’t be seen, and even the pure-blooded creatures under him couldn’t see through him.
“That’s the best. He’s also my target. I am going to make him my follower,” the man said to himself.
The pure-blooded creatures on the mountain peak below felt their scalps go numb, and great waves rose and fell within their hearts. This lord acted without any restraint, and he indeed had this ability.
“Is my lord going to catch him now?” The pure-blooded creature asked.
“It’s too late. He used the dual-pupils to activate an ancient treasure and has already opened up a void passage. He’s disappeared.” The man on the large rock looked toward the limits of the great wastelands and said, “I already know who they are.”
Even though it hadn’t been that long since they entered the wasteland region, as long as they investigated, they would know that the two supreme youths were going to fight a decisive battle. As a result, he was able to deduce this.
“When the time comes, I’ll go to the Void God Realm and wait for the crucial moment of this battle. I’ll take them all away!” The youth within the divine flame was extremely arrogant. He stood up and overlooked the entire great wastelands.
“Fairy Yue Chan will definitely appear.” The pure-blooded creature reminded him.
“She’s my first target!” The man on the large rock’s voice was resounding. In that instant, flames surged, burning all of the clouds in the sky. The heavens above and earth below were scarlet red, suppressing the nine heavens.
The Sky Battlefield was definitely not going to be peaceful. There would be more than one great decisive battle!
Stone Country Capital, Martial Imperial Manor.
Shi Yi returned. He had great treasures on him, as well as magical artifacts from the ancient deity era. This wasn’t shocking at all because he had dual-pupils. After more than ten years, it was unknown just how many hidden treasures he discovered.
“Yi’er has returned. He’ll definitely win this battle. No one can stop him!”
“He’ll definitely win this battle. Yi’er should kill all of his enemies and rise up within the wasteland region. He’ll tread on an unmatched divine path. The great path will evolve, and the legends have already begun!”
These were the words of his uncles, and they spread throughout the capital like thunder. This signified that the great decisive battle that the entire world was paying attention to was starting to count down.
The two teenagers were originally from the same clan, yet some people were very aggressive. This type of talking was a bit excessive, and it drew everyone’s attention.
Stone Country Capital was extremely restless that day. This type of uneasiness and turmoil also began to spread into the distance, affecting many regions of the great wastelands.
Shi Hao was going to fight against the dual-pupiled teenager. Who was stronger and who was weaker would be revealed soon!
On the same day, an imperial decree was passed down from within Stone Country’s imperial city. It was sent to the Martial Imperial Manor, and Shi Yi was conferred the title of Unmatched Marquis!
When this decree was released, the entire country was shaken, and then it affected the surrounding countries. Everyone was shocked because this title was too powerful and incomparable.
Before the decisive battle, the Stone Emperor granted him the title of Unmatched Lord. Was this a type of generous gift and recognition?
Before this, the Stone Emperor never expressed his stance. At this crucial and sensitive moment, this type of imperial decree was released. It inevitably made one’s imagination run wild.
Was this a type of inclination, or an attitude? The entire world was discussing this.
“Before this, Shi Hao had conferred the title of ‘Wasteland Heavenly Lord’. What other lords could compare to him? Only Unmatched Lord is good enough!”
“Correct, is the Stone Emperor trying to balance things out? He doesn’t want to favor one over the other, hence the Unmatched Lord.”
“If the dual-pupil teenager can win, then the title of Unmatched Lord will be outstanding. Perhaps in the future, not only will he take over the position of Stone Emperor, but he’ll also control an even more vast territory.”
This title created a huge disturbance, making Stone Country Capital unable to calm down.
“Unmatched Lord. Yi’er is unmatched under the heavens. No one can match him!” A few people from the Martial Imperial Manor were extremely excited. This was a type of acknowledgment.
“The dual-pupil is a natural born deity. He is destined to rise up, and no one can stop him. This battle will definitely be incomparably glorious, illuminating the world and entering the annals of history!” Shi Yi’s uncles were all excited.
Inside the manor, Shi Yi stood alone in front of the window. In his hands was an imperial decree. On the front was the title Unmatched Lord, and on the back was a single word: benevolent.
Was this a warning? A faint smile appeared on the corners of his lips. His eyes burned brilliantly like two heavenly swords as they swept through the imperial decree, silently turning it into powder.
“Yi’er, did you choose to sit in the manor and then enter the Void God Realm?” His father appeared.
“No, I’m going to the Demonic Spirit Lake. I don’t feel at ease staying here. I don’t want to be disturbed during the decisive battle.” Shi Yi turned around and looked at his father.
Immediately afterward, his eyes shone, and two halberds flew out from his pupils. They met in the air, erupting with endless symbols. Then, they merged together to form a magical artifact.
Whoosh.
All types of symbols appeared. They flickered with divine light, opening up a holy passageway. This was an extremely mysterious magical artifact that could travel through the void.
Immediately afterward, he disappeared from his original location, carried into the void by that magical artifact.
“A divine magical artifact refined from the Void Beast’s primordial symbol bone. It really is astonishing!” Someone in the manor sighed in admiration.
