Chapter 193: The Mysterious Woman in the Divine Flower

As Mengchen and the others climbed higher, they saw golden mist permeating the air, highlighting an absolute mystery.

On the enormous golden leaves of the ancient golden tree, it was truly astonishing; pavilions and buildings left by the ancients stood tall, exhaling Divine Radiance.

"We're finally arriving!"

Mengchen and the others reached the very top of the ancient golden tree; the Chaos Ancient Palace was just a short distance above.

"There's actually a mountain here?" everyone exclaimed in surprise simultaneously.

Ahead, chaos surged, and a mountain appeared in glimpses, accompanied by powerful vitality, as if the mountain itself possessed life.

"This is the World Mountain, gestated by the World Tree; this is a peerless stroke of fortune, hurry and rush up!"

Suddenly, a stone shot out from the top of Shi Hao's head, calling out excitedly as it gazed at the mountain.

"This is... Dashanshi!?" Mengchen looked at this stone and was immediately astonished; it was exactly the same as what he had seen in ancient books, capable of speaking human language.

It is rumored that Dashanshi is incomparably hard, and its accuracy when hitting people's vital points is extremely high.

It is a type of stone that possesses divine consciousness and is sentient; since ancient times, only a few such strange stones have appeared, making them extremely rare. They are known as Supreme Treasures of the human world, and ancient sages and gods all wished to obtain them for refining artifacts; they are things one can only hope for but never seek.

"Brother Shi Hao, you truly have good fortune!" Mengchen smiled at Shi Hao.

"How can I compare to the two Ten Fiend Descendants by Brother Mengchen's side? This is just a stubborn stone, at best just a glutton," Shi Hao said, grabbing the Dashanshi that had shot out.

"Ah! Big Brother! How, how, how... how could you say that about me!" The Dashanshi broke free from Shi Hao's palm, feeling somewhat displeased; this was giving the stone too little face!

Afterward, the Dashanshi gestured toward that mountain and argued, "If it weren't for me, your little brother, would you, Big Brother, know that is the World Mountain? Thanks to my eyes being like torches."

Following the words of the Dashanshi, everyone's gaze turned toward that World Mountain, and they set off to reach it.

The body of the World Mountain, floating on the golden tree, was dark brown. Stepping onto it, they felt a sense of solidity. Stars hung above the ancient golden tree; standing here gave one the feeling of looking through the starry sky, vast and distant, as if standing at the end of the world.

The World Mountain is hard to find in the whole world; one can only see a piece of it when the world is first opened.

In a sense, the value of this mountain body is immeasurable; it can smash through a realm and destroy all things. Without needing to be refined, it is a raw embryo of a Chaos Supreme Treasure.

If one refines it with heart-blood, carves their own Dao into it, and combines it with the origin laws within the World Mountain, once this mountain body is brought out, nothing will be unbreakable, and everything will be pulverized.

It is said that even if one could cut off a piece the size of a fingernail from the World Mountain, it would be enough to crush a true great mountain; its weight is immeasurable.

On the World Mountain, there was a flower, golden and brilliant, with waves of fragrance that made one feel completely comfortable after just one whiff.

Seeing this, the Dashanshi was immediately shocked and said loudly:

"A divine flower grown on the ancient golden tree!"

"The existence of this World Mountain is actually to gestate this divine flower!"

"If the flower gestated by the World Mountain on this World Tree matures, it might produce a World Fruit!"

A branch of the Sun Tree extended here, bearing a flower right at the peak of the World Mountain, several zhang above the ground, flowing with golden radiance, brilliant and eye-catching.

Strangely, elsewhere, the leaves of the Sun Tree could support a mountain and were very huge, yet here they were significantly smaller, as were the flowers, only the size of a millstone.

"It must be the laws of the World Mountain affecting it," said the Dashanshi.

Mengchen, Shi Hao, and the others stood here, guarding this flower, all looking up. They knew nothing about this and listened carefully to what the Dashanshi said.

Perhaps because Mengchen and the others were the first to arrive here, the place was calm; apart from them, there were no other living beings.

Although what was growing there was not a World Fruit, that Sun Divine Flower also contained immeasurable essence; eating it would immediately lead to a rebirth, undergoing an unimaginable transformation.

"This flower is strange!"

Gazing at the Sun Divine Flower, after some perception, Mengchen sensed traces of a dangerous aura.

As he spoke, he raised his hand and shot a beam of Rune light at the Sun Divine Flower, then quickly changed his own direction.

Yet suddenly, the moment the Rune light was shot out, the Sun Divine Flower became brilliant, and a red glow erupted, directly blasting the Rune light away in one stroke.

The strength of that red glow was beyond imagination; if one were hit by it, even a god would likely perish.

"Thanks to Brother Mengchen's perception, otherwise, if we had rushed over rashly, we would likely have ended up dead," Shi Hao said, his face full of astonishment after sensing the terror of that red glow.

Even Xiaohuang, Heizi, Yuechan, and Xiyao by his side were all horrified.

"This Sun Divine Flower is about to mature, the golden liquid is about to fall!" the Dashanshi suddenly exclaimed.

The millstone-sized Sun Divine Flower there emitted a faint red glow, swaying, and as the petals bloomed, golden liquid was about to drip down from the lotus petals.

There were three drops of golden liquid about to roll down, each the size of a dragon's eye, brilliant with golden light and a fragrant scent.

"This is definitely Divine Liquid; it can bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh on bones. Although we cannot pick this flower, we can wait here and collect the golden liquid after it drips down," Xiaohuang said with bright eyes, looking at the golden liquid about to drip from the lotus petals.

"We arrived first, which saves us from fighting! This golden precious liquid is ours!" Mengchen said.

The golden liquid drops were about to fall...

"The golden liquid is falling!" Heizi exclaimed.

Mengchen performed a precious technique to collect those few drops of Divine Liquid; it was a brilliant sight.

As he stepped forward, his whole body lit up with brilliant auspicious light; he channeled his Divine Power and used both hands to guide it, with Runes appearing to envelop the falling golden liquid.

Within that cluster of Rune light, the three drops of golden liquid rolled, wreathed in brilliant clouds, with golden mist permeating and rising, the fragrance hitting the nose.

Mengchen pulled it into his hand, and after taking a whiff, he immediately had the illusion of ascending to immortality; his body felt ethereal and light.

"How dare you touch the fortune of my Jinu Zu! Hand over the golden liquid quickly! I will spare your lives."

Just at this moment, a loud shout suddenly came, and at the same time, a golden-bright Golden Crow that seemed to cover the sky flapped its wings and attacked. It cut through the golden light, transformed into a human form in an instant, and launched a surprise attack in front of Mengchen.

"This is the Golden Crow that flew over our heads after we first entered this place..." Mengchen said in a deep voice.

This Golden Crow exuded the aura of a Venerable throughout its body, peerless and absolute; clearly, this was a powerful Venerable-level expert, and it had signs of having ignited the Divine Fire.

"Get lost!"

"Clang...!"

Shi Hao pointed with his hand, and a sheet of symbols bloomed, forming a silver shield that collided with the incoming Golden Crow Venerable; the place was instantly as brilliant as fireworks.

In myths and legends, the Golden Crow represents the sun and possesses the most yang and fierce divine energy.

Its entire body was brilliant with golden flames, its body like a red sun, incomparably scorching.

As soon as it collided with Shi Hao, sky-filling golden flames erupted, but they were blocked by Shi Hao, and sheets of symbols shattered.

"Get lost..."

A roar from Golden Crow Venerable came; he was enraged. Runes densely covered the air, and golden flames billowed, as if a sun were burning downward, filling the entire Heaven Domain. Golden Crow Venerable erupted, his aura overbearing, his entire body radiating golden flames as if he intended to burn the sky with fire.

He had wanted to seize the Golden Liquid in Mengchen's hand, but was blocked by Shi Hao, causing his sneak attack to fail, which was why he had become so furious.

His massive fist, wrapped in golden flames, smashed out, carrying boundless golden light; the booming sound was deafening, as if he were wielding a red sun as he arrived.

A black light flashed on Shi Hao's body; he took out a piece of black armor as high as a fist and merged with it.

Afterwards, facing Golden Crow Venerable's terrifying punch, he did not retreat, but instead raised his fist to meet it.

"Boom—!"

The two collided; the sound made people's ears ring, like golden waves crashing against the shore, like raging fire striking the sky.

The Heaven Domain and Earth Domain were both trembling slightly. Golden Crow Venerable retreated, his fist dripping with blood, his footsteps unsteady; every time he landed, the ground trembled, showing just how great that force was.

Mengchen and the others were shocked; this Shi Hao was truly astonishing, worthy of the name of a young Supreme.

"This is the Indestructible Golden Body, a treasure from the primordial era!" After examining it carefully, Yuechan exclaimed; her eyes looked unusual, and she felt deeply surprised.

She came from the Butian Sect in the Upper Realm, so her knowledge was naturally very broad; now, her eyes immediately lit up.

The Indestructible Golden Body battle suit was extremely rare, could be called a heavy treasure, and as time passed, it had become increasingly rare.

"You must die!" Golden Crow Venerable hated him; he had almost succeeded, but was interfered with by Shi Hao, causing him to lose the best opportunity to seize the three drops of Golden Liquid.

In just an instant, Golden Crow Venerable transformed into his true Golden Crow form; a massive three-legged giant bird rose into the sky, as if transforming into a scorching sun. Golden flames billowed in the sky, shrouding this Heaven Domain and Earth Domain, emitting scorching Divine Power, causing all scenery to suddenly rise in temperature and distorting the void.

The Golden Crow pulled in his wings, curled into a ball, and was wrapped in golden flames, as if transforming into a real sun. He continuously surged golden flowing fire from the clouds, shooting it down at Shi Hao. Divine radiance bloomed, rune light shocked the world, and the sizzling sounds of refining were endless.

Shi Hao struck powerfully, his body becoming a Kunpeng; as he flapped his wings, he soared upward, protected by treasure light, and went straight into the sky full of golden flames.

"It is actually the Ten Fiends Kunpeng Technique!!" Golden Crow Venerable was startled.

Immediately, he sneered: "Haha..., Heaven Domain does not treat me poorly! Your Kunpeng Technique is mine, and that Golden Liquid is also mine. As for you all, you will all die today."

"Hmph! If you have the ability, come and take it!"

Shi Hao and Golden Crow Venerable struck together amidst the golden flames above the sky, various rays of light shining; both wanted to kill the other.

Looking at the sky, Mengchen had the intention of preparing to take action; the Golden Liquid had already been put away by him.

Shi Hao and that Golden Crow Venerable each unleashed their strongest Divine Ability, clashing in the sky; in an instant, divine light danced and symbols filled the air.

A great decisive battle took place there!

Shi Hao was in the middle, not being passive; he unleashed a technique, his entire body erupting with lightning, blocking all golden flames outside and preventing them from getting close.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...!"

Shi Hao struck, lightning erupting from his whole body, spreading out indiscriminately, suddenly making the sky no longer just shrouded by golden flames; various electric rays intertwined, for a time contending with the sky-filling golden flames.

Within the golden flames, lightning surged, changing in an instant.

Golden Crow Venerable formed seals, controlling the golden flames to surround the lightning; the Venerable aura surged, Divine Power rumbled, very intimidating.

Shi Hao did not retreat, as if transforming into a bolt of thunder, attacking straight toward Golden Crow Venerable; shrouded in his own lightning, he let go of his restraints and released his own Supreme Divine Ability.

Mysterious light appeared, composed of symbols, its speed exceeding the limit, shrouding that Golden Crow, scattering its Runes, and imprisoning it within.

"What is this? Break for me!"

It was too sudden; Golden Crow Venerable screamed, feeling the threat of death, his face full of fear.

Shi Hao's Supreme Divine Ability was unleashed upon him, making him realize and understand the truth in an instant, and he was instantly terrified.

He wanted to break free from the range covered by these symbols, but it was all in vain, and his own body was rapidly aging, as if he had suddenly aged several thousand years.

"You, a human youth, how could you have the Reincarnation Divine Ability..."

Golden Crow Venerable screamed in terror, and then his voice stopped abruptly.

His body withered, losing its golden flames; his feathers no longer possessed a golden luster, starting to fall off one by one, and then his old skin cracked, falling off with a rustle. Finally, his body glowed, as if burning, becoming ashes of calamity.

Mengchen, Yuechan, Xiaohuang, Heizi, Xiyao, and others were all shocked; was this the Reincarnation Divine Ability? It could actually strip away a person's years and vitality; it was truly terrifying.

"Go to hell! I will accept your body!"

Shi Hao gave a light shout and rushed over at high speed; the Kunpeng power reappeared, as if a divine bird rushed up from within his body, shrouding himself, spreading its wings and crying, shaking the Heaven Domain and Earth Domain.

"Puff"

Blood was bright red, spurting very high; the sound was chilling.

With this, Shi Hao killed the aged Golden Crow Venerable. Mengchen put the massive Golden Crow corpse into a bowl and smiled, whispering: "Good ingredients must not be missed."

"Pop!"

Just at this moment, a strange sound suddenly rang out, attracting the attention of Mengchen and everyone else; they all looked up.

On the peak of World Mountain, a few feet above the ground, that Sun Divine Flower was blooming; golden clouds flowed, holy and ethereal, as if a golden sun were blooming there.

This time, no golden liquid dripped down, but the truth within the flower was revealed.

"How could there be a person?" At this moment, Yuechan, who had been silent all along, could not help but exclaim.

Whether it was Shi Hao above the sky or Mengchen, Xiaohuang, and others below, all were greatly shocked, revealing expressions of disbelief.

This was too mysterious and bizarre; there was actually a person inside the Sun Divine Flower...

The golden clouds were blazing there; inside the flower was a crystal-clear egg, nearly transparent, and the living being inside was clearly visible; it was a beautiful woman.

Her golden hair was disheveled, her body curves undulating, her skin snow-white, her eyes tightly closed, her eyelashes very long, flowing with golden radiance, her skin glowing.

The Sun Divine Flower bloomed, gestating a peerless beauty; this was inconceivable.

How could a flower be like this? Mengchen and the others were stunned.

The Sun Divine Flower was golden, mist flowing, divine light brilliant; the golden liquid at the pistil was crystal clear, the fragrance hitting the nose, at least ten drops or more, but all were absorbed by that egg.

Mengchen could only watch helplessly; the sudden appearance of the mysterious woman made him afraid to take action.

The woman was curled up, beautiful to the point of being breathtaking; her golden hair, snow-white crystal-clear skin, and long eyelashes trembling slightly, as if she would wake up at any moment.

Mengchen was dazed; it was his first time seeing such a living being. Based on his intuition, he knew this woman was extraordinary, and she would likely be remarkable in the future!
