Shi Hao’s injuries were quite severe. There were some cracks on his chest, and blood flowed out. He circulated bone texts, quickly stopping the bleeding and sealing his wounds.

Although the Supreme Bone was in the initial stages of recovery, it was a rebirth. In the end, it hadn’t been completely comprehended, and he had yet to figure out its ultimate profundity. Therefore, it was very difficult to grasp its terrifying nomological divine power.

After a long time, Shi Hao released a breath of relief. Essence energy circulated, surging into his body, repairing his injuries.

After fighting the three sects’ most powerful inheritors in the imperial palace and facing experts from all sides alone, he didn’t suffer any injuries. He had swept through all of the cultivators, but he bled here and suffered from severe injuries.

Fairy Yue Chan’s strength was beyond imagination. She hadn’t unleashed her full power in the imperial capital, and she had left behind so many trump cards. That formation was enough to kill all the supreme experts in the world.

If Shi Hao had been a bit careless, he might have died this time. Just thinking about it made Shi Hao feel a bit chilled to the bone. After sweeping through the cultivators of the three sects, he suffered a loss here.

However, he soon smiled again. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, carrying a bit of joy and coldness. Heaven Mending Sect’s holy fairy was captured by him. If news of this spread, it would definitely shock the world!

No matter what, this was definitely explosive news. It would shake the eight regions and attract the attention of all parties, causing a huge uproar.

Yue Chan was known as a fairy, which was an unimaginable honor. How many people in this world could be called this and be recognized?

Her name spread through all sects. In the eyes of the younger generation, she was unattainable, pure, and unblemished. Among the older generation, her talents were incomparable.

It was difficult to find a second person in the Heaven Mending Sect who was like her. Moreover, she was powerful enough. In this era where the Supremacies were dormant, she was definitely one of the strongest people in the eight regions.

Such a talented fairy was captured, and the disturbance created would most likely be even more astonishing than Shi Hao imagined. He rubbed his nose, stood up, and temporarily tossed these thoughts aside.

He began to heal his injuries with all his might, circulating all types of divine multicolored light and symbols. Every single inch of his flesh shone, attracting the essence of heaven and earth. It continuously circulated, repairing the injuries on his body.

The sky was already dark, and starlight scattered down. One could see the silver brilliance of the stars in the heavens falling and continuously absorbed by Shi Hao’s acupoints. His entire body turned into a silver cocoon.

He circulated his energy with all his might and swallowed the natural essence. His injuries recovered extremely quickly. Originally, the damage caused by an astonishing thing like the Supreme Bone was very difficult to recover from in a short period of time, but now, it was improving.

The silver light was like a waterfall, baptizing his flesh and refining his wounds. Finally, his body was filled with vitality again.

During this process, Shi Hao drank some more monkey wine and ate a few stalks of spiritual medicine. Finally, his injuries were mostly healed, and he recovered his vigorous blood energy and divine force.

At this time, it was already late at night. Shi Hao stopped circulating his energy because there was no need. The remaining injuries wouldn’t take long to automatically heal.

After all, his physique was extraordinary and incomparably powerful. His self-healing ability was extremely strong, and he could remove bad blood and reconstruct his flesh and bones!

At night, Shi Hao walked alone on this scorched land. His eyes were clear as he observed the terrain of this mountain range, and he smiled coldly.

Fairy Yue Chan was truly formidable. She had set up such a trump card and almost killed him here. Shi Hao narrowly escaped a calamity.

“It’s impolite not to reciprocate!”

Although Fairy Yue Chan had been captured, the Heaven Mending Sect still had experts. There were hidden Supremacies and even stronger people. They might not appear yet, but they might cross over after some time.

If he detained Fairy Yue Chan, the Heaven Mending Sect would definitely be in chaos. They would definitely search for this heavenly lady and suspect all kinds of possibilities.

Yue Chan’s talent was astonishing, and she was from the upper realms. Presumably, she had an extraordinary status in the Heaven Mending Sect. The sect would definitely be very meticulous when searching, and they would most likely come here to find clues.

“Little Pagoda, help me set up a killing formation that can kill supreme experts. Regardless of how many supreme experts or even stronger people come, they’ll all die here,” Shi Hao said.

“The karma is too great. Prepare more heavenly treasures,” the little pagoda said calmly.

“You still want to rob me? I’m only asking you for guidance on formations, not asking you to take action,” Shi Hao glared.

“Under normal circumstances, I don’t care about the affairs of the mortal world,” the little pagoda replied.

“You…” Shi Hao knew that this fella was extremely deceitful. After thinking about it, he decided not to use it. Dealing with it would be too expensive.

He decided to immediately return to the imperial palace. Perhaps there was a divine formation in the treasury that could be set up here to kill all of the supreme experts who came here to search for the girl.

“You can beg me. I can help too.” Right at this time, the Divine Striking Stone in his hair spoke in a bewitching tone.

“You want to extort me?” Shi Hao was angered to the point of being amused. Why did he encounter such a fellow all the time? They were even hung on his hair, all sparkling, yet in the end, they were all so greedy.

“I wouldn’t dare. You’ve misunderstood.” The Divine Striking Stone was rather low-key and sounded a bit embarrassed. “I only have one condition. Place me next to that jade seal, and I’ll tell you a formation that can definitely deal with those enemies.”

When Shi Hao heard this, he found it acceptable. Even if he placed it next to the precious seal, he expected that it would be difficult for the stone to do anything out of line. However, he still cast a sidelong glance at the Divine Striking Stone and said, “I remember when I first saw you, you said that you were enlightened. You were just a stubborn stone at first, but why are you becoming more and more intelligent now?”

“People change. Stones become rounder and rounder. I’m undergoing a transformation in my life, and it’s a meaningful change.” It was obviously making things up.

Shi Hao didn’t probe too deeply because he knew that there was more to the stone. Perhaps it was an extremely famous divine striking stone from ancient times that took refuge in the Hundred Shattering Mountains and only came with him in this life.

Soon after, the Divine Striking Stone passed down a formation diagram. Shi Hao studied for a long time and couldn’t help but feel shocked. The stone knew its stuff. This was definitely a terrifying killing formation.

The more he studied it, the more his eyelids twitched. This formation should be able to deal with ancient almighty beings, right?

However, he also discovered that he would need too many materials. He even needed some divine materials. It was a little too extravagant and wasteful to use as a trap for the Heaven Mending Sect who would come to look for Yue Chan.

“There’s no need to set up a complete formation. Just a portion is enough. All your enemies will be defeated.” The Divine Striking Stone was gloating.

Shi Hao nodded. Materials that were too precious couldn’t be used here, and the current imperial palace also needed them. He was going to set up a large trap and wait for the three sects’ experts to come.

“There is a problem. If an ordinary person were to search here, I hope that they wouldn’t be able to activate the great formation. Only cultivators above the venerable level can activate it, or else it would be too wasteful,” Shi Hao said.

“Bro, you’re really ruthless. If you want to kill someone, kill the big one. I like it.” The Divine Striking Stone was excited when it heard this. It nodded and said, “The array formation I set up is definitely not a problem. It can even take into account people’s psychology. The more capable the people of the Heaven Mending Sect are, the more careful we have to be, and the more violent the effect is when it’s activated.”

When the little pagoda heard this, it didn’t feel good. It said coldly, “This mischievous stone of yours can also be considered a pretty good precious material. I think it’ll be nice to eat it.”

“Hey, I have no intention of becoming enemies with you. I won’t steal your business. This is a one-off thing,” the Divine Striking Stone cried out, calling the little pagoda its big brother.

Shi Hao soared through the sky like a great golden star, extremely resplendent. He startled all types of vicious birds and ferocious beasts in the forest because the aura was too powerful.

He didn’t stay here for long because it was impossible for him to have many materials for setting up formations. Right now, the sky was still extremely dark, but it was already close to dawn.

Early in the morning, when a strand of golden morning light shot out and scattered over Stone Country’s capital, Shi Hao appeared on the horizon. He had rushed back.

That night, the atmosphere in the entire Imperial Capital was tense and oppressive to the extreme. Almost all the people from the great powers were unable to sleep the entire night, all of them waiting for news.

Shi Hao was incomparably domineering. He single-handedly swept through the three sects, his glorious appearance shocking the world. However, he chased them out of the city by himself, yet he never returned. For an entire night, the atmosphere in the city became more and more tense.

“That’s… the new emperor!” On the city gate tower, a war general with sharp eyes immediately saw Shi Hao on the horizon and couldn’t help but cry out in alarm.

After this shout, it immediately caused an uproar. The news spread into the distance, and the city immediately erupted.

Shi Hao was back!

A few great powers in the city sighed inwardly, feeling even more oppressed.

Meanwhile, there were some others who cheered, feeling joy from the bottom of their hearts. The city was clamorous, and shouts shook the heavens.

At the very least, the soldiers guarding the city were boiling with excitement. They raised the war spears and iron swords in their hands and shook them, shouting the words “Human Emperor”.

Many people came to welcome the new emperor into the city. The War King and the others were especially excited.

The rising sun shone resplendently on Shi Hao. He walked over from the horizon, his entire body enveloped in multicolored light. There was a layer of faint golden radiance, making him look incomparably divine.

Especially in the eyes of everyone in the city, the young Human Emperor had an extraordinary aura. Facing the morning sun, he was like a golden god who had descended to the lower realm and was valiant.

“Long live the Human Emperor!” When Shi Hao entered the city, many people shouted and knelt. One could see waves of dragon energy rising and entering Shi Hao’s body, enveloping him.

This gave him an additional realization. Was this the Human Emperor’s feeling? With such an aura on him, he felt that after entering the Imperial City, nothing could touch him, and he would never fall into calamity.

“Human Emperor…” The War King and the others welcomed him excitedly. They were shocked and gratified by the battle yesterday. He was just a teenager, but she could cover the sky with one hand and defeat the cultivators of the three sects. How many people could compare to him since ancient times?

“Fairy Yue Chan, she…” A noble asked carefully because Shi Hao had chased after her, but the new emperor had returned alone. His blood energy was at its peak as if it was foretelling something.

“Well…” Shi Hao didn’t reply. He couldn’t say anything right now and kept the others guessing. He casually asked, “Have my arrangements been carried out?”

“Yes. Those cultivators have all been confined to their residences, and we’re personally overseeing them. No one is allowed to escape!” A noble king replied.

“A portion of the imperial palace’s treasury has been destroyed, but we have some left, and it’s also been sealed,” the War King reported.

“Good!” Shi Hao nodded. He ordered the various nobles to continue to be on guard. Then, he had the War King lead the way into the imperial palace’s treasury region.

In fact, Shi Hao was extremely excited. He might find supreme precious techniques, sect-protecting divine abilities, and unmatched magical artifacts here!

“Help me get some materials.” Shi Hao secretly transmitted his voice, secretly instructing the War King and listing out what he needed.

Soon afterward, he received a large package. His figure became indistinct, disappearing from the void. Before leaving, he told the War King that if others asked, just tell them that he entered the treasury.

Immediately afterward, he left Stone Capital like a gust of wind, returning to the tribulation earth several thousand miles away. Then, he carefully set up a formation.

“If I don’t kill the Heaven Mending Sect’s supreme experts, I really would let myself down. I need to be serious,” Shi Hao said to himself.

Half a day later, the traces that shouldn’t have been there were erased, leaving behind some clues that led to the “truth”. Then, he turned into a golden roc-like blazing light, returning to the capital.
