Shi Zhong smiled faintly and did not deny it: "That’s right, not only you can obtain treasures from the almighty of the Immortal Realm!"
In his view, Shi Hao’s Striking God Whip was naturally also a reward from an almighty of the Immortal Realm.
Whip after whip, Shi Hao lashed out, but a bell-shaped shield constantly appeared on Shi Zhong’s body, completely dissolving the attacks of the Striking God Whip.
——Master Qian Ji is a Jade Immortal, precisely qualified to craft soul-related Spiritual Artifacts.
Although the cost is frighteningly high and the production requires a great deal of sacrifice, for a plot spanning tens of thousands of years, Master Qian Ji would not be reluctant.
"Cousin, you can surrender now!" Shi Zhong charged with boundless might.
In this battle, he must win!
Speaking of raw strength, he had devoured the seven lifetimes of Ding Lingfeng, even mastering the "Void" technique, with power even greater than Shi Hao’s, and in terms of physique, he was unmatched.
Now, even in the realm of Spiritual Artifacts, he suppressed Shi Hao, so what surprise could Shi Hao still bring?
Shi Hao was completely at a disadvantage.
If he wanted to fight Shi Zhong to a draw, it would be incredibly simple. Not to mention anything else, the Primordial Scripture could penetrate all attacks, as long as the power is similar, what could possibly injure him?
But, Shi Hao’s ambition was far beyond this.
He wanted to kill Shi Zhong!
Therefore, he must decipher the Taiji Holy Body and dismantle it, otherwise, as long as this ability existed, Shi Zhong would be akin to possessing an Immortal Body.
Shi Zhong was overwhelmingly dominant, each strike like a divine axe splitting the heavens, aiming to cleave this expanse of sky and land.
Fortunately, Shi Hao had the Black Hole Physiognomy, making it nearly impossible for purely physical strikes to harm him, only spiritual class attacks could hurt him. Hence, though he appeared to be losing, true defeat was not something that would come immediately.
Shi Hao had to race against time to complete the analysis of the Taiji Holy Body before Shi Zhong severely damaged his spirit, otherwise, he would indeed lose.
The struggle between the two represented a sort of heavenly fate; whoever won would earn the love of heaven, while the loser would be abandoned by it.
This was merely a feeling, yet Shi Hao believed it to be true.
Thus, he absolutely could not lose, nor afford to lose.
With each mighty blow landing, Shi Hao’s spirit was increasingly damaged, teetering on the edge of collapse.
"Cousin, you truly disappoint me!" Shi Zhong shook his head, in his eyes, Shi Hao should not have been so weak.
In truth, Shi Hao’s combat power had reached the second step of Ascending to Saint Position, but even so, Shi Zhong still felt Shi Hao was weak, the battle had not been as challenging as imagined.
"In that case, farewell!" Shi Zhong delivered another heavy blow, fiercely attacking Shi Hao.
Shi Hao’s eyes suddenly brightened, his pupils flickered with golden threads, as though inscribed with characters, an indescribable mystery.
He also struck out with a punch, meeting Shi Zhong’s attack.
Upon their clash, Shi Zhong was immediately taken aback, the yin-yang fish shield cracked open slightly, allowing a sliver of Shi Hao’s attack to penetrate.
Bam, he was violently thrown back, spitting out a mouthful of blood, feeling as though his internal organs were boiling, indescribably uncomfortable.
"How could this be!" He couldn’t believe it.
His Taiji Holy Body should have been unassailable, unless the opponent’s level of power surpassed his own significantly, no one should be able to harm him; otherwise, his defense was invincible, his body as unbreakable as gold and stone.
However, Shi Hao’s strike had indeed broken through the defense of the Taiji Holy Body, causing him injury.
Although only a fraction of the attack had hit, its significance was terrifying.
"Shi Zhong, how do you feel now?" Shi Hao smiled, he had finally succeeded in deciphering Shi Zhong’s Taiji Holy Body, achieving a breakthrough.
The Primordial Scripture, absolutely the strongest doctrine in the Mortal Realm, far surpassing any Immortal Technique.
Mastering the primordial source is equivalent to grasping the root of everything.
Shi Zhong gazed at Shi Hao, and after a moment, a smile appeared on his lips: "Not bad, such a display is befitting of our life-and-death battle!"
"Come on, let there be no regrets left!" Shi Hao also shouted loudly.
Shi Zhong was the one he must kill, yet in terms of ability, Shi Hao also held him in high regard.
This was the only person who could stand against him at the same level.
Both of them charged at each other again, and this time, the battle would be even more brutal.
Shi Hao could barely withstand Shi Zhong’s soul attacks, while Shi Zhong’s Taiji Holy Body had been deciphered by Shi Hao, stripping away one layer of defense, and thus, strikes from Shi Hao inflicted devastating damage.
The two exchanged injury for injury, one targeting the flesh, the other the spirit, both suffering massive blows, and now it was a matter of who could hold on longer.
This was not only a contest of strength but also a contest of will.
In fighting spirit, both Shi Hao and Shi Zhong were at the pinnacle, neither allowing their fierce assaults to slacken in favor of bolstering their defenses; they maintained intense pressure on the opponent.
If I’m suffering, so should you, let’s see who can’t endure first.
Both unleashed their ultimate moves, dazzling lights bursting forth, energy waves surging, forcing the spectators below to retreat again and again.
Too terrifying, how could there be such a frightening Great Sacrificial Heaven?
Even many who had Ascended to Saint Position were quivering, Shi Hao and Shi Zhong’s combat power could crush them, and if the two advanced further to Ascend to Saint Position, would they not crush Ascendant Saints with a single hand?
Why does heaven favor the Stone Clan so immensely, bestowing both these heaven-defying prodigies upon them?
However, these two were destined to be enemies, with only one able to survive.
This brought a slight sigh of relief to everyone, otherwise, how could they live with two mountains of this magnitude pressing down on them?
Exhilarating! Absolutely exhilarating!
Shi Hao’s power was at its peak, and Shi Zhong’s combat force was entirely able to keep up, presenting an immense threat.
This feeling of battling till one trembles to the core was truly wonderful.
For both Shi Hao and Shi Zhong, this was the pinnacle duel of their lives.
After this battle, there would be no opponents left.
Therefore, both cherished it deeply, and their greatest respect towards their opponent was to unleash their full combat capability, leaving no reserves, to send their adversary on their way in such a glorious battle.
As they fought on, both were incessantly coughing up blood; whether their bodies were struck or their spirits slashed, tremendous damage ensued, leaving both tottering, as if they might collapse at any moment, to sleep for years.
Nonetheless, their wills were unyieldingly strong, both biting their teeth and holding on, their eyes growing ever brighter; even if only one breath remained, they would persevere to the end.
An epic battle for the ages!
