Chapter 1733
Shi Hao’s body went taut. These weren’t some remains, this place was in good condition. From the looks of it, some type of taboo ancient existence really did live here.
Someone of that level could calmly face even the invasion of the other side. This was a world of its own, not affected by worldly disputes, extremely powerful.
Shi Hao had visited Crucifix Yin Yang Earth, but that place was ruined, now already no longer a true life restricted region.
Now, he returned to the lower realms, yet ended up encountering one? Perhaps he couldn’t call himself fortunate, maybe unlucky was a more fitting description.
It was rumored that once one came to this type of place, one could only enter, could not leave. Even heaven warping figures would die!
Shi Hao revealed a bitter smile, releasing a light sigh. He finally made it back to the lower realms with such difficulty, yet now ended up encountering this type of thing, his life really was full of trouble.
The restricted region blocked his path forward, cutting off this great desert.
Meanwhile, behind him was that path, the stone stairway leading into the three thousand provinces.
Right now, he had two choices, either go forward, or follow the stone stairs back into the three thousand provinces again.
However, when Shi Hao turned around, his face became a bit rigid. Where did that path go? Why did it disappear?
The space behind him was completely empty, what heavenly stairway in the void, what path into the higher realms? That extremely long stone stairway already disappeared without a trace.
Shi Hao immediately felt a headache. Why did that path disappear? How was he supposed to head into the three thousand provinces in the future?
He immediately recollected himself. While facing danger, where did he have the luxury of worrying about the future? There was already trouble right now. He didn’t have a choice, only one path he could take.
The sky became dusky, no sun visible, but this place wasn’t surrounded by darkness either. It was like a quiet evening, carrying a bit of a blood color.
Shi Hao took steps forward. Since he didn’t have a choice, then he would just proceed!
Sou!
Golden light surged from his sleeves, a savage beast aura appearing. The golden lion was let out by him, appearing on this quiet land.
The Fearless Lion was powerful, bloodline rare. It stared blankly momentarily. After sizing up his surroundings, he cried out in alarm, “This is the lower realms?”
It also found this a bit hard to believe, because it already smelled a long life medicinal fragrance. It was just too intoxicating, making its pores relax, as if it was going to ascend into immortality.
Shi Hao didn’t act too politely, sitting on its back, ordering it to advance.
“Life restricted region?” The golden lion screamed out in alarm. It saw that monument, the characters on it, recognizing them, clearly understanding the warnings. This place couldn’t be entered, it was a life restricted region.
Unfortunately, it didn’t recognize the first two characters. This was the name of the restricted region!
“I just knew that whenever there would be danger, I would have to go at the very front.” The golden lion was discontent.
Shi Hao was currently pondering over the meaning of the two characters, not paying it any attention. He felt like those seemed to be two special symbols, and not the usual immortal text.
The lord of the restricted region was prideful. For the sake of naming his own land, he might have very well created his own symbols, not using the commonly used characters.
“This younger generation is named Shi Hao, passing by to return home, I apologize for disturbing you.” Shi Hao spoke out. Regardless, he had to pass through this place, so he had to greet the lord of this place.
Honglong!
As soon as he spoke, the restricted region actually underwent an astonishing change. The medicinal fields shone, fragrance wafting out. Many old medicines actually moved, running.
Don’t tell me they were all divine medicines?
Even though he was still far away, Shi Hao’s mind still jumped. A stalk of long life medicine, together with so many divine medicines, this place was just too enticing.
Pillars of light shot out one after another, quickly piercing through the heavens like heaven supporting pillars, holding up the dome of heaven. The scene was just too grand, extremely shocking.
However, not even all of the splendid divine light pillars were able to completely illuminate the surroundings, on the contrary, everything became a bit darker, only the nearby regions swirling with radiance.
It was as if they immediately entered deep into the night, and then some lamps were lit.
“Who disturbs the restricted region’s peace?” A voice sounded, asking like this.
Shi Hao had just come here, yet someone replied, breaking the eternal silence. It made him shiver inwardly.
“This later generation named Shi Hao accidentally offended you. I am passing through this place, only wish to return home...”
Shi Hao explained. No matter how arrogant he was, there was no way he would challenge a life restricted region. He tried his best to ease his tone to explain why he approached.
“We previously established a divine monument, those who enter the land of rest would all -- die. Rules are rules, they cannot be gone against.”
In the depths of the restricted region, that voice was still extremely quiet, not showing any emotions. However, it crashed down like thunder onto Shi Hao’s ears. Wasn’t this existence too domineering?
He immediately felt the desire to kill. He had just approached this place, not even offended the other party, yet he already provoked a deathly disaster?
In his opinion, the existence in the restricted region was too domineering.
The golden lion’s fur all moved, standing on end. It was absolutely horrified. After offending a restricted region’s lord, was there any chance of survival left?
“Where is the divine monument? I did not see it.” Shi Hao didn’t panic, instead asking like this.
Those who dared dispute with someone from the restricted region really were few. The golden lion immediately broke out into cold sweat. Wasn’t this the same as wishing to die sooner?
After a moment of silence, a sigh sounded from the depths of the restricted region. “It seems like it really has disappeared. Time... it truly is ruthless.”
When he finished speaking, a few crushed rocks rumbled, slowly rising, reassembling, forming a monument in front of Shi Hao.
This monument was clearly an ancient object, existing for an extremely long time, definitely didn’t belong to this great era. There were traces left behind by terrifying divine abilities, the mottled markings extremely deep.
Shi Hao remained calm. Just now, he seemed to have experienced the feeling of time flowing in reverse. That monument seemed to have appeared from the river of time.
“Even though the monument has already fallen, rules are still rules, cannot be changed.” That creature said. He still didn’t seem to have any intention of letting Shi Hao and the golden lion go.
“However, I can let those within you go, they seem to be innocent, brought here by you.” The topic shifted, he actually spoke like this.
This time, Shi Hao didn’t argue. He could send away his parents and those children first, he couldn’t let them take risks here.
With a honglong noise, Shi Hao’s body shone. A warship flew out from his chest, gradually enlarging, returning to its normal size.
At this time, Shi Ziling, Qin Yining, and those children didn’t know what was happening in the outside world appeared.
“My child, did we return to the lower reams?” Qin Yining asked.
“Yes, we have arrived.” Shi Hao replied, and then said, “You all go first, I met a senior and have some matters to take care of. Head to Desolate Region’s Stone Country and wait for me.”
He didn’t dare tell them the truth, fearing that his parents would worry for him.
At the same time, divine light appeared in the restricted region, a silver path appearing. It was like a waterfall, but also like a silver region, extending into the sky dome, reaching into the distance.
This was a path that led outside the restricted region.
“This place is...”
Shi Ziling and Qin Yining weren’t normal people. They smelled the medicinal fragrance, feeling like it was immortal medicine. Both of them were moved and shocked.
“Hurry and leave, do not wait for me, immediately head to Stone Country, head to Stone Village!” Shi Hao warned, his voice extremely strict.
The two revealed a look of worry. They wanted to say something, but when they saw Shi Hao’s expression, they had no choice but to agree, quickly ride the warship out of this place.
The warship followed the silver-colored path, quickly leaving, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
During this process, the golden lion watched blankly, and then it stared at Shi Hao with a resentful expression. It originally wanted to leave too, but Shi Hao let it out ahead of time, so they both basically barged into this restricted region.
“Who came to disturb this place?”
Suddenly, a voice sounded, extremely clear, also a male voice. It carried a type of charm, much gentler than the voice from before.
“A man and a beast. They have gone against the rules, intruding into our world, ought to be killed.”
That voice from before sounded, extremely respectful, seriously replying.
“Child, your slaughtering nature is still that strong, it will affect your great dao path.” That gentle voice sounded, making one feel as if they were bathing in autumn winds.
Shi Hao was shocked. The one from before was already extremely powerful, but now, it sounded like he was nothing more than an assistant?
The golden lion was also shocked, feeling greatly shaken.
It was because it felt like that so-called assistant had long become an undying level existence as well, strength deep and immeasurable.
“Yi, you came from the three thousand provinces, this is a bit interesting, making it through that path.” Right at this time, the voice that was rather alluring spoke again.
“Child, collect the formation, bring them over.” That man spoke, actually wishing to meet Shi Hao!
