2024-12-02 07:00:16Time passed quietly in the Zhi Clan. After a series of conflicts and intrigues that destroyed the Sect of the Twilight Dawn and shook the enemies’ alliances, the Zhi Clan now stood firm as one of the forces to be reckoned with. During this period of peace, Zhi Hao decided to make use of the World Ring, continuing his training without any interruptions.
Inside the World Ring, time flowed differently. One day outside was equivalent to one year inside. In this space, Zhi Hao meditated on a shimmering lake, his body radiating an aura of lightning that kept growing stronger. The Star Lightning Energy and the Lightning Soul Core within him were becoming more harmonized, making his body and spiritual foundation reach an extraordinary level of stability."It’s time," Zhi Hao murmured after opening his eyes, which now shone brightly. He stepped out of the World Ring and back into the real world, where the morning sun greeted him warmly.Zhi Hao immediately went to

Zhi Hao nodded slowly. "Alright. I’ll go to the Black Mist Mountains and see what I can find. But if you have any warnings, now is the time to give them."Elder Ming sighed deeply. "The ruins are guarded by a protective formation that can only be breached by those with unique energy. I’m sure your lightning energy will be sufficient to open the way. But be cautious. Many have tried before, and none have returned."With the map in his hand, Zhi Hao continued his journey toward the Black Mist Mountains.

God of Destruction Chapter 69: Secrets Behind the Altar
Zhi Hao stood before the grand altar at the center of the ancient ruins. The mysterious energy surrounding the place grew stronger, creating an overwhelming pressure. Yet, he remained calm, focusing on the strange symbols carved into the altar's stone."These symbols... they're not of this world," he murmured, touching one of the carvings. The moment his fingers made contact, a flash of light erupted, and the altar began to tremble. The surrounding mist parted, revealing radiant energy patterns emerging from the ground.Zhi Hao took a cautious step back, prepared for whatever might happen next. The light from the altar intensified, forming a rotating circle of energy above it. From within the circle, a deep, resonant voice echoed, as if from an ancient being long imprisoned."Who dares awaken me?" the voice boomed, causing the air around Zhi Hao to ripple.Zhi Hao tightened his grip on his sword. "My name is Zhi Hao. I've come seeking answers abou

Boom!A small explosion created a crater in the ground, forcing the four bandits to stagger backward. Their faces turned pale as they realized the power Zhi Hao possessed."I don't want to waste my time," Zhi Hao said coldly. "If you're not interested in working for me, at least don't block my path."The bandit leader hesitated, glancing at his companions, who were clearly frightened. However, instead of giving up, he suddenly lunged at Zhi Hao with a concealed dagger.Zhi Hao sighed. With a swift motion, he caught the man's hand before the dagger could reach him, sending a jolt of lightning through the bandit's body. The man collapsed, trembling from the shock."Now, I’ll give you a final choice," Zhi Hao said in a flat tone. "Join me and abandon your lives as bandits, or remain as you are and meet a worse end in the future."The other bandits exchanged uncertain glances. Finally, one of them spoke hesitantly, "What would we hav

Zhi Hao entered casually, followed by his four followers. Inside, the atmosphere was elegant and serene, with the faint aroma of tea and incense lingering in the air. A few people sat at small tables, conversing with attendants or intermediaries jotting down their requests.A woman in her forties with an air of authority and graceful demeanor approached Zhi Hao. She wore an elegant silk dress, giving her the appearance of the establishment's owner."Welcome to the Silk Pavilion. I am Madam Rou, the owner of this place. How may I assist you, Young Master?" she asked with a polite yet cautious smile.Zhi Hao nodded lightly. "I need information. The most accurate and up-to-date."Madam Rou’s smile widened. "Of course, the Silk Pavilion is the perfect place for that. What kind of information are you looking for, and how detailed do you need it? Naturally, the price will depend on the complexity of the request."Zhi Hao met her eyes directly,

Zhi Hao and his four Black shadows delved deeper into the Shadow Labyrinth. The dark, twisting corridors were lined with ancient carvings, their meanings obscured by the passage of time. The oppressive atmosphere made every step feel heavier.“Master,” Black 1 whispered, “this place is not as it seems. I can sense hidden energies, as if a massive formation is protecting this area.”Zhi Hao nodded. “Stay alert. Do not move on your own without my command.”At the end of the corridor, they emerged into a large hall filled with people. In the center, a small platform stood where a man dressed in black addressed the crowd.“Welcome to the Shadow Labyrinth,” the man said, his voice echoing through the room. “Here, information is everything. If you have something to sell or seek the secrets of this world, you’ve come to the right place.”People began stepping forward, offering artifacts, scrolls, and even living witnesses in exchange for valuabl

Black 1 approached. "Young Master, you should have finished them off. They may return with reinforcements." Zhi Hao shook his head. "No need to waste time on trash like them. Our goal is more important. Let’s continue our journey." That night, they camped near a small river. While Black 2 and Black 3 kept watch, Zhi Hao sat by the riverbank, contemplating the contents of the scroll. "The Sect of the Black Star," he murmured. "Could I really be from there? If so, why was I abandoned?" In the distance, a mysterious shadow watched them from behind the trees. Cold, calculating eyes disappeared as the evening wind blew. The next day, Zhi Hao and his group—Black 1 through Black 4—continued their journey towards the southwest mountains. This area was known as the Silent Valley, a place shrouded in mystery, full of assassins, wild beasts, and a dark aura in the air. As they neared the valley, signs of

However, the Dark Soul Puppet did not retreat. With brutal strength, it countered, forcing Zhi Hao to expend even more energy.Black 1 through Black 4 joined the battle, attempting to strike the creature from various sides. Yet, each attack seemed only to make the creature angrier."Young Master, this isn't working. This creature is too strong!" Black 2 shouted.Zhi Hao furrowed his brow. "This creature is made from dark soul energy. The only way to defeat it is to destroy the energy core inside its body."Quickly, Zhi Hao jumped onto the creature, avoiding its claws and brutal strikes. He placed his hand directly on its chest, focusing all his energy into one point."Roar of Sky Lightning!""Zap!"A massive flash of lightni

After hours of trekking through thick fog and biting winds, Zhi Hao and his team finally reached the mountain's peak. Before them stood a colossal black stone gate adorned with carvings of grotesque creatures that seemed to watch their every move. A dark aura emanated from the gate, making the air heavy and suffocating."This is it," Zhi Hao stated firmly, his voice calm but resolute. "The source of the dark energy we’re looking for lies beyond this gate."Black 2 eyed the gate warily. "Young Master, this place feels like a trap. Are we really going in?"Zhi Hao turned to his group, his gaze sharp. "You can return to the city if you’re afraid. I won’t force you to stay."Black 1 stepped forward. "We’ve sworn to follow you, Young Master. We won’t retreat, no matter what."The other three nodded, their determination unwavering.Zhi Hao approached the gate and placed his hand on one of the carvings—a three-headed dragon-like figure.

"Do you all remember how Master once spoke about the Son of Fortune? Someone who, despite starting from hardship, can reach the pinnacle of power and reshape the world," he said, his voice calm yet firm. "Zhi Hao, having achieved the Seventh-Star Earth King Realm at such a young age, is the true manifestation of what we have long suspected."The silver-haired old man, who had been silently listening, nodded slowly. "History has always recorded that every Son of Fortune walks a path filled with trials. However, what sets Zhi Hao apart is the technique he once used—a technique strikingly similar to the one Master wielded before his disappearance. This is no coincidence; it is fate, written long ago."The woman in a deep red veil cast a sharp gaze at the others. "We have two choices before us. First, we approach him as a mentor. By gradually guiding him, we can not only master his techniques but also use him to achieve our goals. Second, we capture him and seize the Heaven-Shattering Cod

The atmosphere on the battlefield remained tense, even though the battle had officially ended. Dust and smoke still lingered, creating a thin haze that enveloped the area. The cheers of victory from Zhi Hao’s group began to subside, replaced by an expectant silence. Huo Lang lay on the ground, his breath ragged, while Zhi Hao stood tall, gazing at him with a meaningful expression.The Tournament Chairman, who had declared Zhi Hao the winner, stepped forward to the center of the battlefield. His face was firm, yet there was a hint of relief in his eyes. The battle had drained much energy and caused significant destruction.

"Zhi Hao has proven his strength and determination. However, this is not the end. There are still many challenges ahead in this tournament."Zhi Hao nodded slowly, absorbing the Chairman’s words.

The dust slowly settled, leaving destruction across the battlefield. The massive trees that once stood tall were now toppled, and parts of the earth were torn apart from the massive explosion that had just occurred. The wind and fire still raged, though their intensity began to wane. The rumble and explosion that shook the ground could still be heard, spreading throughout the forest. Huo Lang and Zhi Hao stood, each breathing heavily, yet their bodies were still full of determination."So, this is your limit?" Huo Lang said with a wide grin, despite the wounds on his body that were beginning to show. The fire surrounding him was almost fading, but his aura of power still felt intimidating, like a flame that refused to die out.Zhi Hao did not answer, only glaring sharply at Huo Lang. The star energy within his body grew denser, emitting a silver glow. Though exhaustion was becoming evident on his face, Zhi Hao knew this was the decisive battle—not only for him but for his team and the

The thick mist of the Poisonous Shadow Forest swirled slowly, enveloping towering ancient trees. The rustling of leaves and the whispers of unseen creatures echoed faintly, as if warning of an impending threat. Amidst this eerie atmosphere, Zhi Hao’s group continued to move forward, maintaining a tight formation."Stop," Li Mei whispered, her eyes narrowing as she observed something in the distance. She raised her hand, signaling everyone to remain silent. "Something’s moving… around us."Jian tightened his grip on his long weapon, his posture tense. "They’re surrounding us from three directions. Their numbers… are many."Zhi Hao narrowed his eyes, channeling starlight energy into them, causing a faint silver glow. With his star vision, he could see shadowy figures darting between the trees, circling them. "Shadow wolves," he muttered. "There are more than ten. They hunt in packs, waiting for the perfect moment to strike."Shui Lian raised her right hand, the air around her rapidly co

Her body was surrounded by shimmering ice crystals that froze every last obstacle in her path. With an elegant movement, she raised her hand, creating an ice staircase that led her straight to the top of the final wall of thorns. As her feet touched the ground at the finish line, the ice shattered into fine particles that vanished into the air."Third participant: Shui Lian!" the Head of the Committee shouted, his face full of admiration. "Amazing! You three are truly exceptional!"Behind them, other participants struggled desperately. A large-built man collapsed before the fragile bridge, his hands scratched by poisonous thorns. "I... I can't..." his body trembled before passing out, dragged away by the medical team. Some other participants fought dirty, using hidden weapons to hinder their rivals,

"The first stage, the Unique Talent Test, is over! Congratulations to those who passed."With a wave of his hand, a massive board appeared in the sky, displaying the names of those who advanced to the next round. At the top of the list were Zhi Hao, Huo Lang, and Shui Lian, a testament to their exceptional performances."Tomorrow, we will proceed to the second stage, the Test of Physical Strength! Prepare yourselves, for this is no ordinary trial.

Thousands of participants gathered in the main square, their eyes fixed on the stage with anticipation and caution. They knew that this Preliminary Selection was the first step in determining their fate before the five great sects.Zhi Hao stood among the crowd, flanked by Xiao Han and Ling Xue. A silver badge with the number 27 was pinned to his chest. He took a deep breath, calming his mind before facing the first test.Xiao Han nudged his shoulder. "Don't be too tense. This Preliminary Selection usually tests your talent and basic abilities. As long as you show your potential, you’ll surely pass."Ling Xue added, "The key is to stay focused and not rush. You need to control your power wisely."Zhi Hao nodded confidently. "I understand. I won't waste this opportunity."Suddenly, a trumpet blast echoed throughout the square.

The next morning, Xiao Han took Zhi Hao and his group to register for the New Disciples Tournament, which would determine their future paths."Xiao Han, can you explain to me which major sects will be watching and evaluating, and what are the main requirements to be chosen by them?" Zhi Hao asked.Xiao Han nodded with a slight smile. "Of course. Sky Stone City is the center of experts and major sects in the Nine Star Earth Realm. This New Disciples Tournament is a rare opportunity to showcase your talent and power before them. There are five main sects that will be present and evaluating the participants of this tournament."He raised his fingers, counting them one by one:"The first is Blue Sky Sect – They are known as masters of sword techniques and wind manipulation.

The room grew colder, their breaths forming mist in the air. Dark shadows crept from the corners of the temple, slowly but surely surrounding them.Ling Xue swung her sword, creating an icy wall around them. Yet, the ice began to crack the moment the shadows touched it."These shadows are devouring spiritual energy," Ling Xue exclaimed, her eyes narrowing. "We need to finish this trial quickly, or we'll be drained completely."Zhi Hao stood in the center of the Dipper’s light circle, staring at seven glowing star points on the floor. "Navigate the light and find the path to the North Star... But how?"Xiao Han examined the star formation closely. "The Dipper is a guiding constellation. In ancient astronomy, the end of the Dipper always points to the North Star."Zhi Hao nodded. "That means we have to connect these points to find the direction."He raised Qianlong, and the sword began to glow with golden light. As if understanding its master’s intent, Qianlong emitted a beam that conne
