52: Chapter 52 Shi Hao Unleashes the Ten Heavenly Caves, Opening the Kunpeng Cave Mansion

Above the Northern Sea, waves rose once again.

Following the disappearance of the ghost ship that carried the sorrow of eternity, the sea surface did not return to calm.

Instead, it became even more violent because of the behemoth ahead that was about to fully manifest.

Chaos qi swirled, and the mist was heavy.

An island, so vast that it could not be described in words, was slowly squeezing out from the void.

Was that even an island?

It was clearly a Kunpeng Nest, woven from countless unknown ancient divine woods, vaster than a continent!

It was too ancient; even a random withered branch on it emitted a primordial aura that made one's heart palpitate.

Around the nest, dense golden runes bobbed in the seawater, intertwining into a peerless restriction that would make even a Celestial God frown.

That was the final inheritance ground left behind by the Kunpeng, one of the Ten Primordial Evils, who mastered the extreme speed of Yin and Yang and the supreme power of offensive might!

"What a huge bird's nest!"

Shi Hao stood at the bow, craning his neck to look at the edge of the nest that pierced the clouds, his drool dripping down unhelpfully again:

"With a nest this big, how big must the Kunpeng egg be? If we made it into a tea egg, would it be enough for us to eat for a year?"

"Eat, eat, eat, all you know is eating!"

Yun Xi knocked him on the forehead in annoyance, but her beautiful eyes, like purple gemstones, were flashing with unprecedented gravity and wisdom at this moment.

She turned her head to look at the man beside her, whose aura had long been restrained and returned to simplicity:

"Husband, the restriction outside this Kunpeng Nest was set by the Ten Fiends themselves, containing the Great Dao of Yin and Yang.

Although you have now achieved the Celestial God fruit position, if you were to force it open, it would naturally be a trivial matter."

Wang Teng nodded slightly, his expression indifferent: "A mere restriction; I could tear it apart with one claw.

It's just that if I did that, I fear it would destroy part of the inheritance inside, or even startle away the true spirit left behind by the Kunpeng."

He did not lack that bit of inheritance, but he was a perfectionist; since he was here to "harvest," he naturally wanted to collect the most complete one.

"Exactly."

Yun Xi nodded slightly, her purple hair dancing in the sea breeze, looking like a goddess of wisdom:

"That is why I suggested that we must bring this Bear Kid along."

She extended her slender jade finger, pointing at Shi Hao, who was drooling while staring at the Kunpeng Nest:

"Husband, the key to opening this Kunpeng Nest is not with you or me, but on him."

"Me?"

Shi Hao pointed at his own nose, looking bewildered, "Fairy sister, stop teasing me.

Besides eating and taking the blame, what do I know about breaking restrictions?"

Even Mo Shang, the "second chef" squatting in the corner peeling garlic, couldn't help but sneer in his heart at this moment.

What a joke?

This is the nest of the Ten Fiends!

Even Venerables among pure-blooded creatures cannot get within half a step, and this human Bear Kid who only knows how to follow behind that Demon King and act like a fox exploiting a tiger's might?

If he can open the Kunpeng Nest, I, Mo Shang, will eat these remaining baskets of garlic raw!

Yun Xi did not pay attention to everyone's reaction; she stared intently at Shi Hao, her voice cold and firm:

"Shi Hao, do not belittle yourself.

Do you know, there are records in the ancient books of my Celestial Race that the top inheritances in this world often only open their doors to creatures possessing the potential of 'their own kind'."

"The Kunpeng is one of the Ten Primordial Evils, standing at the pinnacle of all living beings.

To gain its recognition, one must demonstrate a foundation that also possesses the potential to reach the pinnacle!"

Having said this, Yun Xi took a deep breath and revealed the true reason why she finally agreed to bring Shi Hao along:

"Although you look mischievous now, you must not forget..."

"You were once—a born Supreme!"

"Within your body, you once nurtured that peerless—Supreme Bone!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the deck instantly fell silent.

The playful smile on Shi Hao's face disappeared, and in those clear, big eyes, a trace of vicissitudes and determination inconsistent with his age flashed by.

That painful memory of having his bone dug out and blood drained was a brand he could never erase in his life, and it was also the original driving force that motivated him to keep growing stronger.

"Although that bone is no longer there, the foundation and Dao base of a Supreme have long been integrated into your flesh and the depths of your soul!"

Yun Xi's voice became increasingly high-pitched, carrying a soul-stirring power:

"Shi Hao! Stop hiding and holding back!"

"Show your true potential, show that peerless talent of yours that is enough to make even the Ten Primordial Evils look sideways, all of it to this world!"

"Use your Dao to knock open the door of this Kunpeng!"

Wang Teng stood to the side, arms crossed over his chest, watching all of this with a smile on his lips.

He certainly knew what Shi Hao's trump card was, and he was happy to give this future Heavenly Emperor Huang a stage to perform.

"Go, Xiao Hao."

Wang Teng encouraged: "Open this door, and you can pick the 'tea eggs' inside first."

This sentence was like lighting the fuse of a gunpowder keg.

"Alright! For the tea eggs! Let's do this!"

Shi Hao took a deep breath, stepped out abruptly, and left the protection range of the ship.

He stood alone on the violent sea surface, facing the Kunpeng Nest that was as towering as a pillar of heaven.

He closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing.

The next moment, he opened them abruptly!

"Boom!"

A muffled, thunderous sound, like a heartbeat from the depths of the earth.

Above Shi Hao's head, the void suddenly twisted, and a huge Heavenly Passage like a volcanic crater appeared out of thin air!

Inside, magma rolled, essence qi was like a dragon, emitting a palpitating fluctuation.

The first Heavenly Passage!

Immediately after, before everyone could react.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."

A continuous series of explosions resounded.

The second, the third...

One after another, huge Heavenly Passages manifested around Shi Hao, circling and bobbing around him.

Each Heavenly Passage spewed out life essence qi that was vigorous to the extreme, as if connecting to ancient little worlds!

In the blink of an eye, nine Heavenly Passages spanned the sky!

The nine volcanic Heavenly Passages connected into one, transforming into a brilliant divine ring.

Setting Shi Hao off like a young God King, majestic and inviolable.

"Nine... Nine Heavenly Passages?"

"This Bear Kid is actually a prodigy who has perfected the Nine Heavenly Passages?!"

Mo Shang in the corner had his eyes bulging out; as the son of the Sea God, he was gifted with extraordinary talent.

Yet he was only hovering at eight Heavenly Passages; nine Heavenly Passages were already a legend in the Eight Regions of the Lower Realm!

However, a meaningful smile appeared on Yun Xi's face:

"No, it's not over yet."

Just when Mo Shang thought this was the limit.

Shi Hao on the sea surface suddenly let out a long roar towards the sky.

Inside his body, it was as if some forbidden shackle had been broken.

That was a kind of pride and unyielding spirit originating from the depths of his bloodline, once belonging to a "Supreme"!

"Open—for—me!!!"

"Rumble————!!!"

At this moment, the Northern Sea boiled, and the sky changed color!

Directly above Shi Hao's head, in the center of the nine Heavenly Passages, a point of extremely brilliant light suddenly burst open!

The tenth Heavenly Passage!

It was different from the nine surrounding it; it was grander, deeper, with chaos qi churning inside, as if creating the world!

In the depths of this tenth Heavenly Passage, one could vaguely see a blurry little figure sitting cross-legged, chanting unknown ancient scriptures!

Ten Heavenly Passages!

This was the legendary extreme realm! It was a myth that was theoretically impossible to appear in the Lower Realm!

The moment this tenth Heavenly Passage appeared, it forcibly absorbed and merged all nine surrounding Heavenly Passages.

Transforming into a unique and eternal—divine ring!

Shi Hao stood in the center of the divine ring, immune to all laws, with all evils retreating.

At this moment, the aura on his body faintly produced a kind of wondrous resonance with the Kunpeng Nest in the distance.

"Hea... Heavens!!!"

Mo Shang completely collapsed on the ground, the garlic in his hands rolling all over the floor.

He looked at the figure bathed in the divine ring, his soul trembling. He finally understood what kind of monsters he had offended.

A Celestial God brother-in-law who achieved Dao by eating people. A brother-in-law who reached the extreme realm of Ten Heavenly Passages.

"It's done."

On the ship, Wang Teng watched this scene, a trace of appreciation flashing in his eyes.

As expected of that person who would dominate eternity; with this kind of talent, he is indeed qualified to inherit the Kunpeng Technique.

Just at the moment the Ten Heavenly Passages divine ring completely formed.

"Hum————"

The Kunpeng Nest in the distance, which had always been full of hostility towards the outside world and covered in dense runes, suddenly quieted down.

Immediately after, an ancient, vicissitudinous, yet carrying a fluctuation of relief and acceptance, swept out from the depths of the nest.

Those golden restriction runes, capable of killing Venerables, upon sensing that "extreme" aura on Shi Hao.

Actually, as if meeting their own kind, they retreated to both sides one after another, flickering with soft light.

"Creak, creak—"

A sound of teeth-aching friction rang out.

Under the shocked gaze of countless living beings, the gate of the Kunpeng Nest, which had been closed for eternal years.

Actually, in front of Shi Hao... slowly opened a crack!

Endless chaotic immortal light and primordial treasure qi spewed out from that crack, instantly turning this sea area into a fairyland on earth!

The path, was open.
