An extremely dim, almost transparent phantom was about to tear through the void and escape into an unknown dimension!
That was the last lingering regret of the Demon King Pu!
As long as this lingering hope remains, it will have a chance to rise again!
however!
Just as it was about to successfully escape!
Om-!
A soft, emerald-green light appeared out of nowhere and instantly enveloped the area!
Time seemed to stand still at this moment!
Space! It seemed to freeze in that moment!
The lingering remnant of the Demon King Pu, who was about to disappear into the void, was instantly frozen in place, like a mosquito sealed in amber, unable to move!
Liu Shen has made her move!
"No—!" The Demon King Pu let out his final, desperate roar!
It could clearly sense that an irresistible, terrifying force, full of life and creation yet carrying endless majesty, was surging in like a tide!
It must be completely purified! Utterly eradicated!
"The ancestral spirit of the Immortal Ancient...you...you are still alive..."
These were the last words left behind by the Demon King Pu in this world.
next moment!
laugh!
The emerald green divine light burned like flames!
That immortal lingering regret, along with all the demonic energy and resentment it contained, was completely purified in this sacred radiance!
Smoke and clouds vanished, body and soul utterly destroyed!
So far!
This immortal king from another realm, who once unleashed boundless slaughter and wreaked havoc across the nine heavens and ten earths during the Immortal Ancient Era, is none other than the Demon King Pu!
Its last trace finally vanished completely from this world!
Deep within the Hundred Broken Mountains, the demonic energy dissipated, leaving only the lingering aura of destruction and devastation after the great battle.
Shi Hao stood there, looking at the world gradually returning to peace, his heart filled with emotion.
How powerful is the Immortal King? Even with only his remnants remaining, he is enough to make even the Supreme Being wary.
But in front of Liu Shen and the ruthless man, they were still like clay chickens and earthen dogs, easily wiped out.
Is this the power of the supreme being?
Shi Hao clenched his fist, his eyes filled with longing for a higher realm.
"Alright, this matter is settled." The gentle yet supremely majestic will of the Willow God resounded in Shi Hao's mind. "Although this Hundred Broken Mountains is a shattered ancient realm, there may still be some interesting little things left behind. You can go and explore them on your own."
"Yes, thank you, Goddess Liu," Shi Hao replied respectfully.
Liu Shen did not say anything more. The hazy green light that enveloped Shi Hao and the Ruthless Empress flickered slightly, and then disappeared quietly as if it had never appeared.
Clearly, Liu Shen had not truly left; she had simply gone into hiding and continued to silently protect Shi Hao.
After slaying the lingering remnant of the Demon King Pu, the ruthless Empress seemed to have lost interest in this broken ancient realm.
Her calm eyes, which seemed to see through the cycles of time, glanced indifferently at Shi Hao without saying anything. With a slight sway, she transformed into a streak of light, tearing through the void and leaving Baiduan Mountain.
"Uh...you're leaving already?"
Shi Hao looked in the direction where the ruthless empress had disappeared, touched his nose, and felt that this empress was truly unconventional.
But it's good that there's one less big shot around; he feels less pressure now.
"Boss! Boss! Our chance to make a fortune has arrived!"
Just then, the God-Slaying Stone, which had been hiding in Shi Hao's hair pretending to be dead, suddenly jumped out excitedly, leaping around in front of Shi Hao. "Those two big shots were fighting just now, and the noise was so loud that it must have shaken out all the treasures buried deep in the Hundred Broken Mountains for countless years! Let's go find them! Maybe we can find some immortal gold or divine materials!"
Its cunning little eyes were filled with a greedy glint.
"Squeak! Squeak!"
The fur ball on its shoulder also chirped excitedly, its little paws pointing in a certain direction, as if it too had sensed something extraordinary.
Shi Hao was amused by these two money-grubbing fools.
"Alright! Now that we're here, we can't leave empty-handed!" A hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes. "Let's go! Let's go treasure hunting!"
Over the next few days, Shi Hao began a thorough search of the core area of Hundred Broken Mountains, which had just been baptized by the power of a supreme being!
It must be said that although Liu Shen and the Ruthless Empress only made a casual move, the supreme power they released really stirred up this ancient and broken world!
Many ancient ruins that were originally hidden deep in space or protected by powerful restrictions have been revealed as a result!
Guided by the fluff ball and the magic stone, Shi Hao's harvest can only be described as "abundant"!
He even stumbled into a strange place filled with chaotic energy!
It was like the scene at the beginning of time, filled with the most primordial chaotic energy!
Shi Hao was overjoyed and immediately activated the Unique Cave Heaven. Like a whale sucking in water, he devoured and refined a large amount of chaotic energy, which not only made his cultivation more solid, but also made the Unique Cave Heaven more vast and mysterious!
And in the deepest part of this chaotic land, Shi Hao discovered a treasure that shocked him to his core!
It was a small tower, about three stories high, entirely grayish-white, looking unremarkable, even somewhat dilapidated!
The small tower floated quietly in the chaotic energy, without any amazing phenomena or powerful aura, as if it were just an ordinary piece of rock.
"This is... Little Tower?!" Shi Hao's heart skipped a beat!
I recognized the origin of this item instantly!
How did it get here?!
Just as Shi Hao was filled with shock and doubt!
The small stone tower that was originally floating quietly seemed to sense Shi Hao's arrival, or rather, it sensed the protective mark from the Willow God on Shi Hao's body!
Om-!
The small stone pagoda trembled slightly!
An extremely faint thought, filled with surprise, directly entered Shi Hao's sea of consciousness!
"Huh? This aura... it's... it's from that willow tree?!"
"He...he's still alive?!"
The little tower was filled with disbelief!
Upon hearing this, Shi Hao's heart was filled with even more shock!
Little Tower actually knows Willow Goddess?! And judging from her tone, their relationship seems to be quite extraordinary?!
"Little Tower?" Shi Hao tried to communicate with the Little Tower using his divine sense.
"Hmm?" The little tower seemed to be taken aback for a moment, then a clearer, yet somewhat arrogant and wary, thought came, "Boy, who are you? How do you know me? And why do you have the scent of that willow tree on you?"
Shi Hao was overjoyed. It really was the small tower! Although it only looked like it had four floors, it was definitely the real deal!
He quickly explained to the little tower his identity as a disciple of the Willow God and the origin of the protective mark on his body.
After listening, Xiaota remained silent for a long time.
The tower, which was already somewhat dilapidated, seemed to sway slightly, emitting a faint halo, as if recalling some extremely ancient and distant past.
··Requesting flowers·····
"So...it was His disciple..." The little tower's thoughts were filled with a complex and incomprehensible emotion. "I never imagined...endless years have passed, the world has changed, and even that willow tree that once stood proudly above the immortals has fallen to such a state...is all that's left for it to undergo rebirth and rebuild itself?"
He seemed to see through the Willow God's current state.
Immediately, His will fell on Shi Hao again, with a hint of scrutiny: "Boy, since you are the disciple of that willow tree, and you have been tainted by His aura... so be it!"
"I am now severely injured, and my essence has been almost destroyed. I need a safe place to slowly recover."
"For the sake of that willow tree, I'll reluctantly follow you for a while!"
Xiao Ta's tone still carried a hint of arrogance, but Shi Hao could hear a trace of impatience in it.
Clearly, Xiao Ta was more than happy to be able to stay by Liu Shen's side to recover from her injuries!
"That's great!" Shi Hao was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly nodded in agreement!
This is a small tower!
Although it looks like just a dilapidated four-story tower now, its potential is limitless! Once restored, it will definitely be a tremendous asset!
hum!
The little tower seemed too lazy to waste any more words. Its body flashed with light, instantly shrinking into a stream of light that disappeared into Shi Hao's hair, vanishing without a trace.
"Hehehe..." Shi Hao touched his hair, feeling that his trip to Baiduan Mountain was incredibly profitable!
Not only did they acquire numerous treasures, they even managed to win over Little Tower, a future super tycoon!
Satisfied, Shi Hao did not linger any longer.
He "carefully" searched through the remaining scattered spiritual herbs, ores, and the relics of those fallen powerful beings in the core area of Baiduan Mountain once again, making sure that nothing was missed.
..................
Only then did he activate the mark left by the Willow God with satisfaction, open the void passage, and prepare to return to Stone Village.
With a flash of light, Shi Hao's figure disappeared into this shattered ancient realm.
……
Shicun Village, the village entrance square.
When Shi Hao emerged from the void passage once again, he was greeted by the villagers' enthusiastic cheers and caring greetings.
However, this time, Shi Hao keenly sensed that the atmosphere in the village seemed somewhat different from before he left.
Besides the original joy and peace, there seemed to be an unusual atmosphere.
