Chapter 62

A deafening roar suddenly echoed from the sky.

This sound was not very close, as if it had rolled over from an extremely distant direction. It was not aimed at the place where Meng Hao and the others were, but rather covered the entire State of Zhao. In that instant, every cultivator and even ordinary people in the State of Zhao heard the thunderous roar from the sky.

The sound came abruptly, leaving Yan Ziguo and the others stunned. When they looked up, their expressions were filled with shock.

In the sky, a red glow appeared, covering an unknown distance. At a glance, the entire sky had turned red, leaving people bewildered as to what had happened.

At the extremely distant horizon, far from the State of Zhao, in the center of the Southern Domain, a crack appeared in the sky, its extent unknown.

It was a crack in the sky!

The roar grew even more intense, spreading in all directions. Not only did it cover the State of Zhao, but it also spread throughout the entire Southern Domain, making the vast Southern Domain, regardless of location or sect, gradually hear the thunderous roar.

Meng Hao's face changed. The black aura around his body suddenly intensified, causing him to be startled. Without hesitation, he sped up, instantly transforming into a long rainbow and flying away.

Yan Ziguo and the other four were stunned by the sudden scene in the sky. Their expressions were shaken, and their cultivation seemed unstable, as if it were about to leave their bodies.

At that moment, within the State of Zhao, in the Fenghan Sect, which was spread across the mountains, mist enveloped the area. When the roar echoed in the sky, the mist immediately churned, and the surrounding mountains trembled. Inside the Fenghan Sect, hundreds of disciples looked up at the sky with pale, terrified faces.

In the back mountains of the sect, the two Core Formation elders, the strongest in the Fenghan Sect, immediately woke up from their secret chambers. Without hesitation, they flew out. As they looked into the distance, their cultivation rapidly circulated, focusing their eyes. They immediately drew in a deep breath, their expressions filled with shock. Although they still couldn't see what had happened in the distant sky, they felt a vast pressure as if the heavens were about to shatter. Because of their high cultivation, they could faintly see the sky cracking.

"What's happening? A sound from the center of the Southern Domain? This is impossible. The distance from here to the center of the Southern Domain is extremely far, and the sound couldn't possibly reach here so quickly!"

Behind them, the five Foundation Establishment elders of the Fenghan Sect also flew up, their faces pale and their bodies trembling.

In the State of Zhao, in the Fangye Sect, the two Core Formation elders and four Foundation Establishment elders of the sect were also standing in the air, staring blankly at the distant horizon. At that moment, the entire sky was a deep red, as if it were on fire, looking extremely shocking.

"What... is this...?"

Not only the Fenghan Sect and the Fangye Sect, but also the Qushui Sect in the State of Zhao, was filled with similar cries of shock. All the disciples of the sects were staring blankly at the sky, their expressions bewildered. The Core Formation elders of the Qushui Sect were trembling. With their deep cultivation, they could see further, though they still couldn't see much. The scene of the sky burning and the faint cracks made them extremely shocked.

"This is not an ordinary sound. Otherwise, it wouldn't have reached the State of Zhao so quickly. The speed of this sound... can destroy everything!"

In the State of Zhao, and in the neighboring countries, all the sects and cultivators were similarly affected, especially the five major sects and three major families of the Southern Domain. They were the closest, and within them were profound elders. At that moment, they all felt an indescribable pressure descending from the sky. Because their sects were in the center of the Southern Domain, they saw a scene that outsiders couldn't see!

They saw a huge crack in the sky, and their faces turned pale, filled with disbelief.

On that day, at that moment, it was a moment of great excitement in the entire Southern Domain. Countless cultivators flew up, and countless powerful figures were shocked. The entire Southern Domain was completely stunned by the abnormality in the sky.

Meng Hao flew quickly, the black aura around his body more intense than usual, as if it were being summoned and guided, making him extremely nervous. The strange sky made him uneasy. He used his fastest speed to reach the top of the nearest highest mountain. Standing on the mountain top, he suddenly looked up at the distant horizon.

At that distant horizon, it seemed to be slowly cracking. At the same time, a black light instantly spread, and the entire world turned pitch black in that instant.

Not long after, the entire Southern Domain began to shake to varying degrees, as if a powerful force had suddenly erupted from the center of the Southern Domain, spreading across the entire Southern Domain. Wherever it passed, mountains collapsed and the earth churned.

Because the Southern Domain was vast, this spread took time. First, it was the center of the Southern Domain, then the surroundings, and finally the edges. Many mountains collapsed in succession. Fortunately, the State of Zhao was far away and had not yet felt much. It wasn't until seven days later that a slight earthquake occurred.

Even so, this made the old monsters of the State of Zhao extremely shocked. Some of them had been to the center of the Southern Domain and knew the distance was indescribable. Even if the center collapsed, it would be impossible for the shock to reach the State of Zhao in just seven days.

At the same time, over these seven days, a rumor spread like a storm across the entire Southern Domain, shocking everyone who heard it.

A corpse fell from the sky!

The corpse landed within a thousand miles of the Wansheng Cave, one of the three dangerous areas in the Southern Domain!

This news immediately caused a stir in the entire Southern Domain, making it turbulent. It was said that even powerful figures from the Western Desert had gathered in the Southern Domain.

"What kind of powerful figure's corpse is this? It fell from beyond the sky. Beyond the sky... that's the realm only immortals can reach! No wonder the shock spread so quickly, it must contain the residual will of the corpse before it died!"

"Immortality? It's easy to say, but throughout history, the Southern Domain has only recorded seven or eight immortals. But this corpse... is astonishing. It's said to be the size of an ordinary person, yet its fall caused the earth to shake for seven days."

"Condensing Qi, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Soul Forging, Dao Seeking, and Immortality, a total of seven major realms. To reach Immortality and shatter the void, it's difficult, difficult, difficult!"

Throughout the Southern Domain, such voices spread in many places. However, the State of Zhao was remote and isolated, and only a few elders of the major sects knew about it.

At that moment, Meng Hao was frowning, quickly moving through the deep mountains. Seven days ago, the world changed dramatically, and the death aura on his body also intensified. Fortunately, it began to dissipate over the past few days, and he estimated that it would be completely gone in about twenty days.

"This death aura is too troublesome. If it weren't for this aura guiding me, I wouldn't be running around like this." Meng Hao had been extremely agitated these days. The dramatic changes seven days ago made the cultivators of the State of Zhao go out, forcing Meng Hao to hide carefully. There were a few times when he almost got caught.

But continuing like this was not a solution. Although Meng Hao was unwilling to kill, he gradually developed a killing intent.

"If it comes to that, I'll have to kill. Although it will cause more trouble, it's better than hiding like this." As Meng Hao was pondering, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked up. The area was surrounded by mountains, and everything was quiet. Meng Hao stopped and looked around for a while but saw nothing suspicious.

But he still felt a sense of danger, making him frown. He suddenly raised his right hand and patted his storage bag, and a feather from a treasure fan flew out, heading straight for the forest ahead.

With a boom, a wind swept through the area, making the leaves rustle, but it quickly became quiet again. There was no abnormality, but Meng Hao's expression changed. Although the world had changed dramatically seven days ago, it had since calmed down. The birds and beasts had not been injured. Logically, in the deep mountains, the boom should have scattered the birds and beasts, but it was now strangely quiet.

Without hesitation, Meng Hao turned and patted his storage bag, and the treasure fan flew out, lifting him up. He immediately changed direction, but at that moment, a cold snort echoed, and black light appeared on many of the surrounding mountains. The black light instantly connected, forming a seal.

Meng Hao's position, although within the seal, was not at the center but at the edge. If he had not been cautious and continued forward, he would have been at the center of the seal.

At the same time, eight figures appeared from the surroundings. When they first appeared, they were blurry, but they quickly became clear, as if covered by an invisible layer of water, making Meng Hao unable to detect them earlier.

Among the eight, there were six men and two women. One of the women wore a white dress, her face pale, and she held a water-blue pearl in her hands. The pearl emitted waves of water, hiding the others' presence. The pearl now had cracks, indicating it was a one-time-use magical treasure.

She did not approach but stayed at a distance. The others quickly approached, surrounding Meng Hao, including Yan Ziguo.

Meng Hao's face was dark, and he coldly looked at the surrounding cultivators. Yan Ziguo's eyes were filled with killing intent. Among them, his cultivation was not the highest. The highest was a middle-aged man in a sky-blue Daoist robe, floating in the air on a flying sword. His expression was calm, but he exuded a sense of superiority.

His cultivation was already at the Ninth Layer of Qi Condensation!

At the Ninth Layer of Qi Condensation, his status in the sects of the State of Zhao was extremely special. If he could successfully reach Foundation Establishment within sixty years, he could become a sect elder. If he couldn't, he would be a sect executive.

Like Shangguan Xiu of the Kaoshan Sect, if the Kaoshan Sect were powerful, he would not be an elder but an executive.

This middle-aged man had only been at the Ninth Layer of Qi Condensation for less than two years, with a promising future. Once he reached Foundation Establishment, his status would change completely.

"You are indeed cunning, no wonder you could deceive the Ziyun Sect. Even if you didn't enter the center, as long as you stepped into this formation, with Senior Brother Liu here, you are doomed today. Hand over the true treasure, and I'll give you a full body."

Meng Hao's expression was cold, and he did not look at Yan Ziguo but stared at the Ninth Layer of Qi Condensation middle-aged man.

This man was the Senior Brother Liu mentioned by Yan Ziguo. His expression was calm, and he did not speak, standing on his flying sword with his hands behind his back, exuding a powerful aura that made Meng Hao's eyes narrow.

"To obtain my treasure, you must pay a price." Meng Hao spoke calmly, patted his storage bag, and a silver light flashed. A bright silver spear appeared in his hand, which he immediately thrust into the treasure fan below him, securing it.

The appearance of the silver spear immediately caught the attention of everyone, including Senior Brother Liu, who was visibly moved and focused.

In that instant, Meng Hao's eyes flashed, and he swiftly waved his right hand. A scroll appeared and opened, and roars echoed from within. Three misty beasts roared and charged at the crowd.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Meng Hao quickly made a seal and pointed. A black light instantly shot out, moving at an incredible speed. In the moment Yan Ziguo was startled, it tore through the protective light of his magical treasure, and despite his retreat, it pierced his forehead, passing through.

This was the Death Nail!

Meng Hao's character was such that if he acted, he would seize the opportunity. Since Yan Ziguo was seeking death, Meng Hao would send him to the netherworld!
