Chapter 810 The Seven Kings of the Borderlands!
Shi Hao stood on the deck, his blood churning, and he barely managed to suppress the surging spiritual energy within him.
Afterwards, Shi Hao steadied himself and immediately activated his Martial Dao Heavenly Eye, beginning to carefully examine his surroundings.
The ancient ship was much larger than he had imagined; standing on the deck, he could not see the end of it.
He felt like a speck of dust in the universe, insignificant and powerless.
Shi Hao squatted down and tapped on the boat plank.
"Knock knock..."
The ship's planks clanged and clattered, the sound like metal striking stone, incredibly hard.
Next, Shi Hao tried to scratch the ship's deck with the Void Halberd. The halberd blade didn't even leave a white mark.
The material of this ship's hull far surpasses any kind of divine metal he has ever seen.
Even if a cult leader were to personally arrive, he might not be able to break through it.
"What on earth is this thing...?"
Shi Hao murmured to himself, a deep sense of powerlessness welling up inside him.
He stood on the boat, looking out at all he could see—endless darkness and deathly silence.
The pale green lantern still swayed on the mast, its light casting long shadows on the deck, like a silent observer watching him quietly.
A sense of sorrow welled up in Shi Hao's heart.
According to legend, boarding the ship meant certain death.
Throughout history, no one who has boarded this ship has ever left alive.
Now that he has just taken that step and possesses the power to shake the ancient immortals, is he really going to perish here?
He was unwilling, and he could not accept it.
He still has so much to do, and so many people are waiting for him to return.
Shi Hao took a deep breath, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, and once again activated his Martial Dao Heavenly Eye, trying to see through the true nature of this ancient ship.
However, just as his gaze fell upon a dark red bloodstain on the hull, the bloodstain suddenly burst forth with mysterious runes, like a blinding bolt of lightning, shooting straight into his eyes.
Shi Hao felt a sharp pain in his eyes, as if he were being pricked by needles, and tears involuntarily streamed down his face.
"--hiss!!!"
He gasped and quickly closed his eyes, covering them with his hands.
The excruciating pain lasted for several breaths before gradually subsiding.
Shi Hao opened his eyes and found that his vision was still somewhat blurry. The runes on the bloodstain had faded, as if they had never appeared.
"Can't even see it with the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye?"
Shi Hao frowned, becoming even more vigilant.
Every trace of blood on this ancient ship seemed to contain some mysterious power, preventing him from prying into it.
He tried to use his divine sense to investigate, but as soon as his divine sense touched the hull, he also felt a sharp pain, forcing him to withdraw.
Next, Shi Hao tried to use the three streams of immortal energy and the three thousand streams of divine fire within his body, attempting to forcefully break through the power that was suppressing him.
But that force seemed to be integrated with the ancient ship; the more he struggled, the stronger the force became, pressing down on him until he could hardly breathe.
In the end, Shi Hao had no choice but to put away all his supernatural powers and begin exploring the depths of the ancient ship on foot.
He walked step by step, the dull thuds of the ship's planks beneath his feet echoing in the deathly silence, sounding particularly jarring.
Along the way, he encountered many terrifying and strange creatures.
Some resembled distorted human figures, silently wandering on the deck.
Some resembled a cloud of black mist, coalescing into various bizarre shapes.
Some had pairs of blood-red eyes, watching him from the darkness.
Strangely, although those strange creatures looked terrifying, they did not attack him actively. They just watched him from a distance, as if monitoring his every move.
In addition, he also saw many treasures of astonishing value.
However, these treasures were shrouded in a power of rules, preventing him from taking them.
Shi Hao withdrew his gaze and continued walking forward.
After a long journey, he finally arrived at the entrance to the ancient ship's cabin.
The hatch was entirely black, covered with densely packed runes, and exuded an ancient and chilling aura.
He reached out and pushed open the hatch; the heavy hinges made a grating sound, as if it hadn't been opened for countless years.
The interior of the cabin was even darker than the outside, and the air was filled with a putrid smell.
Shi Hao stepped inside, his gaze sweeping over the surroundings before finally settling on an altar in the center of the cabin.
The altar was entirely black, and it was carved with many mysterious patterns.
At the top of the altar was a pool filled with a five-colored liquid that emitted a dazzling glow.
The liquids were multicolored, like flowing gems, emitting a soft glow in the darkness and illuminating the entire cabin.
Shi Hao approached the altar and examined it carefully, discovering that the colorful liquid was actually the blood of some kind of creature.
The blood contained an extremely rich life force and mysterious power; just by getting close, one could feel an overwhelming pressure.
"This is……"
Shi Hao's heart stirred. He sensed that the blood seemed to contain some kind of information, as if waiting for him to decipher it.
As he approached, the altar began to rumble, as if awakening from a deep sleep.
The multicolored blood in the pool began to surge violently, like a shattered mirror reflecting a series of astonishing scenes.
Shi Hao saw an ancient city in these mirror fragments, with towering city walls covered with marks of swords and magic, clearly having witnessed countless fierce battles.
Above the city was a vast and boundless starry sky, its stars shining brightly, yet constantly flickering, as if they might go out at any moment.
Outside the city, however, lay a battlefield filled with the deafening cries of battle.
Countless powerful warriors fought fiercely in the void, each of their attacks capable of shattering mountains and tearing apart the void.
Some powerful individuals can pluck stars from the sky and capture the moon; with a casual wave of their hand, stars fall from the sky. Their cultivation level far exceeds Shi Hao's comprehension.
Shi Hao's breathing became rapid.
He had never seen such a terrifying war; the power of those strongmen far surpassed that of anyone he had ever met in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
They fought like gods and demons in the void, their blood staining the entire world red.
Then he saw seven people, supporting each other, walking towards the ancient city.
These seven people were exceptionally tall, like moving mountains, stepping over endless corpses as they walked back to the giant city.
Their bodies were covered in scars, but their backs remained straight, like a javelin piercing the sky.
These seven people were like seven invincible war kings; even though they were covered in wounds, they still exuded an invincible aura.
After returning to the giant city, they began guarding the border.
Soon after, the terrifying creatures attacked again.
Some of those creatures resembled giant beasts, others demons, and still others twisted shadows. They swarmed densely, covering the sky and the earth, like a tidal wave rushing towards the giant city.
Among them were several terrifying auras, radiating the light of immortality, far surpassing those of the previous powerful figures.
The seven men roared to the sky, their voices like thunderclaps, shaking the entire world.
They rushed to the battlefield once again, facing an endless stream of enemies.
In that giant city, all the old, young, women, and children climbed onto the city walls.
There was no fear on their faces, only a resolute determination to face death.
