A chaotic battle

The day had come for the exit of the Hundred Broken Mountains to open, and the rules suppressing its native inhabitants were lifted. That day, the entire Hundred Broken Mountains boiled over. All its native creatures came out to hunt, slaughtering any outsiders they saw!

Jun Moxiao contacted the system. "Help me hide from the rules of the Hundred Broken Mountains and unlock my seal. Let's see what rewards I get here."

System: "All right. Check-in at the Hundred Broken Mountains complete. Seal unlocked. Strength restored to the late Spirit Transformation Realm. Rewards obtained: the Gu Precious Technique of the Ten Fiends, the Thunder Emperor Precious Technique, Immortal King Wuzhong's time-law technique, thirty drops of Supreme Liquid, and one jar of true dragon precious blood.

You can nurture spirits from various precious techniques within your cave heavens and summon various fierce beasts to fight. Combining the Gu Precious Technique with the Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art and Immortal King Wuzhong's time technique, then unleashing them through the unique cave heaven, can produce the divine ability 'I Am the Sovereign.' Within this domain, you can govern everything and immobilize every aspect of your opponents. The I Am the Sovereign Domain can distinguish friend from foe and is entirely under your control. In other words, you can restrain your enemies, then let your teammates finish them off."

Jun Moxiao said, "It's that powerful? This trip's rewards are incredible. Oh, right! How large an area can the I Am the Sovereign Domain immobilize? Can I kill opponents above my level?"

Meng Die said, "This domain will grow stronger as your strength increases, Master! Currently, you can immobilize an area within a thousand meters, with its size under your control, and fight opponents in the Inscription Realm. The stronger you become, the more levels you can bridge. Of course, this sovereign domain also consumes a great deal of your power. Your current strength can sustain it for about five minutes."

Jun Moxiao said, "That's incredible. Five minutes is pretty good, too."

Jun Moxiao hurriedly nurtured spirits from his various fierce beast precious techniques, the Calming Chaos Sword Art, and the Grass-Character Sword Art within twelve cave heavens, leaving one cave heaven to develop into a cave heaven world. Finally, he fused the Gu Precious Technique, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art, and the laws of time within his combined unique great cave heaven, creating the I Am the Sovereign Domain.

Everything seemed to have been arranged by the system, however, and Jun Moxiao finished it all in just two hours.

After comprehending the "I Am the Sovereign" divine ability, Jun Moxiao found its effects excellent. It was practically an ultimate killing move.

Jun Moxiao reckoned the great battle at Flower-Fruit Mountain had begun, so he hurried to a high point on the mountain and looked down. Good grief-the whole mountain had become a boiling pot of chaos.

Below were Yun Xi, the Celestial Clan's holy maiden, the half-blooded Chi Dragon, the Bi Fang Bird, Chu Jian, and someone wearing a rooster-comb headdress whose eyes shone blue. That was probably Shi Yi with his double pupils. They were battling the Divine Monkey King.

Jun Moxiao searched around and found Shi Hao locked in a battle that darkened heaven and earth with several half-blooded creatures in the distance, including the Pu Demon Tree.

Jun Moxiao quickly reached Shi Hao and said, "I'll handle things here. Go behind the mountain and get the precious medicines and Monkey Wine. I'll give you some more precious medicine afterward. That should let you open ten cave heavens."

At the mention of precious medicine, Shi Hao grew excited and dashed off like the wind. "Then I'll leave this to you."

Jun Moxiao killed the half-blooded creatures in a few swift moves and put them into the system space, while the Pu Demon Tree was immobilized.

Jun Moxiao unleashed the Calming Chaos Sword Art, shredding the Pu Demon Tree's primordial spirit.

Suddenly, he discovered a terrifying mass of shadow deep within the Pu Demon Tree's primordial spirit. He realized it might be a fragment of the Immortal King Pu Demon King's soul that had escaped the Reincarnation Immortal King's lethal suppression and reincarnated as the Pu Demon Tree. That remnant soul was at the Immortal King level, far beyond his current ability to handle.

He hurriedly said to the Haotian Pagoda, "Haotian Pagoda, I've run into another dark demon like the one from last time. Sorry for the trouble, but please lend a hand."

The Haotian Pagoda floated out and said, "To think this dark demon's vitality was so tenacious. A wisp of his remnant soul's consciousness reincarnated again. He hasn't awakened yet, probably because he's waiting for the Pu Demon Tree to mature. I'll destroy him now."

The Haotian Pagoda flew above the Pu Demon Tree and enlarged, sucking the tree inside before unleashing golden light to suppress and kill the remnant soul.

The Pu Demon King's remnant soul consciousness jolted awake and roared, "You again!"

The Haotian Pagoda said, "That's right! It's me again. Pleasantly surprised? Didn't expect that, did you?"

The Pu Demon King let out two screams, then vanished completely.

Jun Moxiao asked, "Haotian Pagoda, how is your recovery coming along?"

The Haotian Pagoda said, "Mm! Not bad. A few more rounds of strengthening should do it. Those divine materials from before were left by the Reincarnation Immortal King. They were quite good. Boy, this old fellow is going to rest now. Call me if anything comes up."

Jun Moxiao said, "No problem. I collected lots of precious artifacts earlier. Would they help you?"

The Haotian Pagoda said, "Those are rubbish, with far too many impurities. I have no interest in them. But you could try using them on that kitchen knife of yours. They should upgrade it."

Jun Moxiao called the system. "Meng Die, help me upgrade my kitchen knife using that pile of precious artifacts."

Meng Die said, "All right, Master! It will take two hours."

Before long, Shi Hao came running back, laughing heartily. "Xiaoxiao! What a haul-several big bottles of Monkey Wine. It smells amazing."

Jun Moxiao said, "Let's go meet up with Huo Ling'er and the others."

"You're back!"

Seeing Jun Moxiao and Shi Hao return unharmed, Huo Ling'er and the others cheered and jumped for joy.

Shi Hao took out an egg, saying he had snatched it from the purple-clad Fat Girl, along with one of her earrings.

Jun Moxiao deliberately asked, "Don't tell me you wrestled with her and bit it off with your mouth?"

Shi Hao refused to admit it and immediately retorted, "How could that be?"

How did Xiaoxiao know? he wondered.

Shi Hao was about to roast the egg when an old man's voice suddenly rang out. "I'm a god, boy! You actually want to eat me?"

Then the shell broke open, and a featherless bird hopped out. Looking like a barnyard chicken, he regarded everyone haughtily and said, "I am a god. I can read the celestial signs and understand heaven and earth. Juniors, why haven't you brought precious medicines to honor me?"

Everyone stared blankly. Was this featherless bird really that arrogant?

Shi Hao said, "You're a bird too, the same kind as Big Red. We'll call you Baldy from now on."

Big Red looked at the fat barnyard chicken, who had only a few newly grown short feathers, and said smugly, "You barely have any feathers. From now on, you're Baldy."

With no strength at present, Baldy could only protest. "I object! I'm a god. How can I have a name like that?"

Everyone burst out laughing at the sight of him.

Shi Hao said, "All right! From now on, you're Baldy."

At this point, Jun Moxiao said, "Senior is a god, extraordinary by nature. A name is only a label, so don't take it to heart. Hao Tian, hurry up and make something to eat."

Everyone looked at the featherless bird, his comical appearance making them rock back and forth with laughter.

Baldy said solemnly, "Boy! At least you have a discerning eye."

They then chatted and boasted. Jun Moxiao asked Shi Hao whether he had encountered anyone from the Rain Clan or Martial King Manor. Shi Hao said he had met and fought them all, but with his nine cave heavens, he had beaten them effortlessly. They had forcibly broken their seals, only to be killed by the governing rules of the Hundred Broken Mountains.

Shi Hao took out primordial remnants and precious medicines and cooked a lavish feast. Everyone ate heartily, then brought out the Monkey Wine. They drank until their faces flushed red and their bodies brimmed with strength.

Shi Hao and Huo Ling'er walked a short distance away and sat in meditation, preparing to open cave heavens. Jun Moxiao added a drop of Supreme Liquid to the Spring of Life and divided it between them. "Drink this and refine it immediately."

After drinking, the two felt violent energy flood their bodies and immediately circulated their techniques to refine it.

Before long, with the powerful support of the Supreme Liquid, Huo Ling'er opened nine cave heavens in one go. Shi Hao's chest, however, shone with light, and he had yet to open his tenth cave heaven.

Jun Moxiao took out a few more drops of Supreme Liquid for Shi Hao to swallow, thinking that his Supreme Bone should recover now.

Suddenly, Shi Hao roared and opened his tenth cave heaven. A beam of light shot skyward, piercing the clouds and bringing a terrifying pressure. His Supreme Bone had also revived, and that pressure came from it.

The knowledgeable Baldy exclaimed, "Could that be a Supreme Bone?"

Everyone was stunned. A born supreme!

Shi Hao awoke and said excitedly, "Xiaoxiao, thank you! My Supreme Bone has revived. I feel like I could fight ten of my former self now."

Jun Moxiao waved a hand. "No need to thank me. We're practically brothers, aren't we? Oh! I heard the Divine Monkey King has some sacred medicines-Pan Peach Trees. Aren't you going to snatch a few?"

At the mention of sacred medicine, Shi Hao sprang up excitedly and rushed toward the distant battlefield like a madman.

Now that Shi Hao's Supreme Bone had recovered, snatching sacred medicines from right under those mighty fierce beasts' noses was child's play.

After a while, Huo Ling'er slowly awoke. Sensing that she had successfully opened nine cave heavens, she spoke excitedly to Jun Moxiao.

"Junior brother, thank you for your precious medicine. It's the only reason I managed to open nine cave heavens so quickly."

Jun Moxiao said, "Don't mention it, senior sister. Focus on tempering your body from now on, and don't rush to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm. Wait until I find a way for you to open ten cave heavens. For now, don't rush your breakthrough."

Huo Ling'er was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Is that really possible? How many cave heavens have you opened, junior brother? Can you show me?"

Jun Moxiao said, "Not here in the Hundred Broken Mountains. I'm afraid it might throw the heavenly rules into turmoil. You can see them later."

Shi Hao reached the battlefield and soon spotted Shi Yi. He had secretly seen him before when he visited the Heavenly Bone forbidden zone.

On the battlefield, the Celestial Clan's holy maiden, Fairy Yun Xi, and several half-blooded creatures were battling the Divine Monkey King for the Pan Peach Trees!

Shi Hao spotted four sacred medicines and hurriedly pretended to join the fight. When he revealed his ten cave heavens, everyone was stunned. Remembering how this fellow had bitten her and even bitten off her earring, Fairy Yun Xi snapped, "You little thief!"

"Hello, everyone. Fat Girl, you're here too!"

Seeing everyone distracted, Shi Hao greeted them, then suddenly unleashed a precious technique and began fighting alongside them. While everyone surrounded and attacked the Divine Monkey King, Shi Hao flashed over to the Pan Peach Trees and deployed the Heaven-and-Earth Bag to suck up the sacred medicines. Sensing something amiss, the Divine Monkey King saw the sacred medicines being taken and hurriedly interrupted him. Unfortunately, he only managed to retrieve one. Shi Hao sucked the other three into the Heaven-and-Earth Bag.

With the precious medicines secured, Shi Hao hurriedly retreated. In a few swift movements, he reached Jun Moxiao and jumped onto the Void Beast Hide Huo Ling'er had already prepared.

Jun Moxiao asked, "Did you get them?"

Shi Hao chuckled. "I snatched three. We've struck it rich."

Huo Ling'er activated the Void Beast Hide, concealing everyone in midair.

At that moment, the exit of the Hundred Broken Mountains opened, and everyone charged madly toward it. If they didn't hurry, they would soon lose their lives.

Meanwhile, the Divine Monkey King had his sacred medicines stolen and was surrounded by several native half-blooded fierce beasts of the Hundred Broken Mountains! He immediately leaped toward the exit, blocking everyone's path. "Not one of you is leaving today."

At that moment, the Fire Emperor outside intervened. "Monkey, don't you dare run wild!"

The Divine Monkey King jabbered smugly, "Fire Emperor, come on! Come over here!"

He thought the rules of the Hundred Broken Mountains would keep the Fire Emperor from doing anything to him.

Then a spiritual avatar of the Fire Emperor descended from the sky and slapped him into the ground. The scene rather resembled the Buddha subduing Sun Wukong. Jun Moxiao guessed the Fire Emperor might possess Divine Flame Realm strength.

Everyone left the Hundred Broken Mountains. After Shi Hao and Jun Moxiao parted ways with Huo Ling'er's group, they changed their appearances and went to Elder Xiong Fei, who had been waiting for a long time. They discovered that Xiao Tian had already come out.

Shi Hao transmitted his voice to Elder Xiong Fei to identify himself. Elder Xiong Fei activated his magical gourd and flew away with the three of them in a flash.

Xiong Fei asked, "Did you two boys do something big in the Hundred Broken Mountains? Why are you disguised like this?"

Xiao Tian said from beside them, "What else could they have done? They feasted on fierce beasts!"

Xiong Fei immediately burst out laughing. "That's good. I like it."
