Chapter 938: Chapter 938: Annihilation

Underneath the helmet was actually a skull!

Well, it couldn’t exactly be said it was a skull, because the bones were still covered with a layer of skin, but it clung tightly to the bones as if there was no flesh.

Are these living people or dead?

Shi Hao frowned. Could this army be composed of Corpse Ghosts?

He opened up the Little Star Universe and domain, both observing simultaneously.

These warriors... are alive!

However, their emitted aura was extremely weak and incredibly bizarre, very much resembling the dead.

If Shi Hao were to say, they seemed like the living dead, not belonging to living beings nor Corpse Ghosts, but lying somewhere in between.

What the heck!

Brush!

While he was still observing, he himself was targeted by other warriors who charged at him.

Shi Hao unleashed the Extreme Ice Divine Light, and with a bang, the attacking warrior was immediately sent flying, yet even with the power of the Extreme Ice Divine Light, he couldn’t kill that warrior in one strike.

This!

Shi Hao was speechless, for him to kill these warriors would require a considerable effort.

Let’s try another move.

Shi Hao took out the Striking God Whip and lashed out at the warrior.

The whip’s shadow was intangible, considered unsolvable in the Mortal Realm, unless the principles of the Immortal Realm were cultivated, it couldn’t be blocked.

So, even wearing Nine Stars Battle Armor, the warrior was of no use.

Yet the warrior swung a blade, utterly unaffected.

Damn, don’t you have a soul?

Be aware, that even something as strong as the Heaven Building Ladder is influenced by the Striking God Whip, only the degree varies, but at such close range, the Striking God Whip couldn’t affect a soldier with Great Sacrificial Heaven’s combat power even a bit, which was absurd.

Shi Hao reached out and effortlessly blocked the incoming blade.

Speaking of combat power, how could soldiers of Great Sacrificial Heaven compare with him?

These soldiers were just extremely hard to kill.

With a flick of his mind, Shi Hao expanded the Little Star Universe and enveloped the soldier directly.

Black Hole Devouring!

Poof, however, the soldier was soon expelled unharmed.

— His body had the protection of Battle Armor, and with Shi Hao’s current abilities, the black hole couldn’t impact the Nine Stars Precious Metal, and as for the soul... it seemed the opponent lacked a soul, thus being unaffected by the black hole.

Just like a Restless Soul, such an existence was particularly peculiar, having no physical body and unaffected by black holes, truly strange.

No soul?

Shi Hao felt as if he touched upon something.

The ineffectiveness of the Striking God Whip and black hole proves that the soldiers of the Dark Empire are soulless, walking dead.

Additionally, despite the fierce battle, not one soldier of the Dark Empire has made a sound, which was completely abnormal.

But if they were simply the walking dead, then everything could be explained.

Furthermore, they were just mere skin and bones, entirely consistent with Shi Hao’s speculation.

Damn, what is this Dark Empire all about, who established it, and what do they want?

"Ah!" A scream was heard, and suddenly a bright light appeared in the sky, indescribably dazzling, creating waves of terrifying energy that swept across, causing landslides and earth fissures.

Battle power as strong as Great Sacrificial Heaven could only be shattered by such waves, even to the point of heavy damage upon Ascending to Saint Position, only Heaven Connecting Road levels could resist.

This is... Venerable Qingshuang has fallen!

He was slain and self-destructed before annihilation, forming such an energy surge in a grand explosion, instantly killing even the Great Sacrificial Heaven.

This surge swept through almost a third of the Celestial Body, wiping out nearly all the life forms in such a vast area, with only those at Ascending to Saint Position, Heaven Connecting Road, Heaven Building Ladder levels spared.

Yet, the soldiers of the Dark Empire, protected by their armor, were unharmed, continuing the slaughter, aiming to wipe out all life forms on this Celestial Body.

Shi Hao had already sent Weng Nanqing and Ox King into the Immortal Abode, leaving only him and the Purple Gold Rat outside, both serious and solemn.

Ordinarily, even ordinary Heaven Building Ladder individuals trying to flee would be hard for even Peerless Great Ability to stop, yet Venerable Qingshuang fleeing desperately was soon killed; how powerful was the one who intervened?

The Mortal Realm has its rules, and even an Immortal descending could only harness the combat power of Heaven Building Ladder; breaking this was impossible.

Thus, Shi Hao and the Purple Gold Rat were even more curious about what kind of existence this attacker was.

"Probably strong enough to rival Elder Gu," Shi Hao mused.

Elder Gu climbed the Heaven Building Ladder to the ninety-ninth rung, once bringing the Myriad Sects to pay homage, how impressive!

Such a powerhouse, same rank battle, one against a hundred is no problem.

The Purple Gold Rat nodded. "It’s truly terrifying how strong the Dark Empire is, dispatching three army routes simultaneously, surely each with such a powerhouse overseeing."

"What’s even more terrifying is, those sent to wage war are definitely generals, then how strong must the empire’s King be?" Shi Hao frowned.

Ninety-nine rungs should be the limit of the Heaven Building Ladder, yet Shi Hao was confident, if he entered the Heaven Building Ladder, he would definitely not stop at ninety-nine rungs but would break through to a hundred.

This is merely a supposition, but now, it seems someone might have already achieved it.

The master of the Dark Empire!

The fall of Venerable Qingshuang directly sapped the fighting spirit of the Martial Artists on this Celestial Body.

— When even a Peerless Great Ability has fallen, and the Teleportation Arrays are destroyed, there’s no escape, leaving only death.

Shi Hao killed a few more warriors, gathered their battle armor, and without further fighting, entered the Immortal Abode.

The death of even a Peerless Great Ability should draw the absolute attention of the entire world, surely forming an Allied Forces to declare war on the Dark Empire.

Otherwise, if everyone merely forms a simple alliance for joint defense, the result will be as today, flattened by the Dark Empire’s onslaught.

The massacre continued, and Shi Hao was powerless to stop it.

Never mind the suspected ninety-nine rung super ultimate Peerless Great Ability, even without such a figure, just the sheer number of warriors could exhaust Shi Hao to death.

Thus, he could only watch silently.

This feeling was extremely unpleasant, but fortunately, it only lasted a few days before the slaughter ended.

The Dark Empire completely seized this Celestial Body, constructed new Teleportation Arrays, connecting with other Celestial Bodies of the Dark Empire.

Shi Hao controlled the Immortal Abode to fly to the Teleportation Arrays, intending to sneak to Talun Star to see what the Dark Empire’s lair was like, and what the Imperial Overlord was like.

However, over these few days, he only saw armies being transported over, with no one leaving, which greatly disappointed Shi Hao.

Three more days passed, and Shi Hao finally noticed someone entering the Teleportation Arrays, rather than coming out of them.

This person was also fully enclosed in battle armor, making it hard to discern their appearance. Instantly, Shi Hao manipulated the Immortal Abode to fly over and adhere to the person.
