A terrifying force directly smashed him through dozens of spatial layers. His clothes were in tatters, and his upper body was ripped open with several bloody gashes, from which trickles of crimson blood dripped incessantly.
Each drop of that blood contained the terrifying divine power of the Chaos Dao Venerable Extreme Realm, shattering space, dissipating the void, and falling endlessly, its destination unknown!
"Such fearsome combat power!"
Hong Xi retracted his fists, looking in shock at Shan Shituo, who stood in the distant void. That gilded *pa* had injured him with a single blow. He moved his lips slightly, and his mouth was filled with thick blood!
"The Great Han Dynasty! Within this plane, there is no longer such treacherous and cunning existence as you!" Hong Xi roared in anger, filled with despair. Especially when he saw the severed head of Jiang Zuo Wenlun just moments ago, he knew he could not escape. He gazed hazily at Shan Shituo, realizing how incredibly cunning and insidious these humans were, developing a formidable power in secret that could potentially overthrow the plane, even in the presence of myriad races.
Jiang Zuo Wenlun was no match for that human. It was likely that among the four races, only the four old ancestors who emerged from the War of the Gods could suppress them!
"To actually withstand the gilded *pa* in my hand!"
"Indeed!"
Shan Shituo smiled slightly and raised the gilded *pa* in his hand again. With a deafening roar, it erupted with white killing aura, like countless sharp blades and steel knives, filling the void and tearing the surroundings to shreds!
*Boom!*
Hong Xi directly unleashed the divine power of the Void Demon Race. His imposing aura instantly surged severalfold. The terrifying demonic energy actually blocked the white killing aura of the gilded *pa*, emitting rolling black smoke. His eyes were blood-red, and his blood was coursing rapidly!
With a thunderous bang, despite his immense power, he was still sent flying for a hundred thousand *li* by a sweep of Shan Shituo's *pa*. The void for a hundred thousand *li* churned, and countless beings looked up. The once smooth firmament was pockmarked and steaming with wisps of blood qi!
"What's wrong with the sky?"
Innumerable beings wondered, gazing at the rolling void. Within the emptiness, Shan Shituo arrived within a hundred *li* of Hong Xi in a single step.
With blood streaming from his seven orifices and no intact flesh on his body, Hong Xi now knelt on the void qi. Rolling demonic energy surged within him, attempting to erode Shan Shituo's killing aura.
This Shan Shituo was truly too terrifying.
Even when he sparred with Jiang Zuo Wenlun, it wasn't as terrifying as this. Hong Xi sensed that Shan Shituo could likely kill Jiang Zuo Wenlun as well.
This gilded *pa* was too monstrous, its combat power horrifying. The Great Han Dynasty possessed two experts standing at the pinnacle of the plane.
What terrifying news this was!
The Great Han Dynasty, a force that once cowered on the islands overseas in the Western Frontier, had risen to the status of the Central Continent's Eight Great Families in mere decades.
Fearsome!
Shan Shituo, holding the gilded *pa*, approached, standing incredibly close to Hong Xi. He looked at the bloody figure and brought down the gilded *pa* directly. The void churned, and the Great Dao retreated!
"Demon!"
Hong Xi roared, and suddenly black light surged from his entire body. He desperately resisted the gilded *pa*. With a deafening crash, the void for hundreds of thousands of *li* boomed. The cities of dozens of Dao Provinces and Yan Provinces, numbering in the tens of thousands, all violently trembled. Within the void, Hong Xi, who was desperately blocking, bled anew, his body flying back an immeasurable distance, shattering countless spaces and creating brilliant fireworks along the way!
"You are truly trash!"
Shan Shituo, walking over from a distance, holding the gilded *pa*, scoffed. This Hong Xi was far inferior to Jiang Zuo Wenlun. Both were beings of the Chaos Dao Venerable Extreme Realm, yet they were not on the same level. Earlier, in Mijia Dao, he had witnessed Zhang Dingbian's battle, and Jiang Zuo Wenlun had shown some capability. But this fellow was so trash he couldn't even bear to look at him.
And he even called himself an ancestor of the Hong family!
What a disgrace!
Shan Shituo looked at Hong Xi with utter contempt. His fighting spirit waned, replaced by killing intent. His dark hair whipped about in the void, and his aura erupted!
*Boom!*
The gilded *pa* streaked across the sky!
"Roar!"
Within the void, a White Tiger roared, its terrifying aura enveloping the space where Hong Xi was!
"White Tiger!!"
"You actually possess the divine power of the White Tiger clan!!"
"Damn it, Jiang Zuo Wenlun misled me!!"
"Misled me!"
"I should never have come to the Great Han Dynasty!!"
Hong Xi, with blood splashing from his eyes, felt his eye sockets tear. His entire body struggled desperately. After the ancient era ended and the new era began, he had emerged prominently, quickly becoming a being of the Chaos Dao Venerable Extreme Realm after Jiang Zuo Wenlun, and an ancestor of the Hong family. Now, as this era just began, the world would become the dominion of the Hong family's four clans. Four great families controlling a plane – how powerful was that!
Alas!
At this moment, an extreme sense of unwillingness and fear welled up in his heart. He should not have agreed to Jiang Zuo Wenlun's proposal to come to the Great Han!
A surprise attack?
Wasn't this just seeking death!
*Boom!*
The gilded *pa* descended. Sensing its divine might, countless thoughts flashed through Hong Xi's mind. He no longer roared for himself but for the entire Hong family, and even for the entire Hong family's four clans, he felt sorrow!
At this moment, he knew that perhaps only the four old ancestors who had experienced the ancient War of the Gods could suppress the Great Han!
Alas!
He would not live to see it!
*Boom!*
The void shattered, and a massive opening, stained with crimson blood, appeared near the distant Sanzuo Pass.
The Great Han soldiers, numbering only ten thousand, stationed at Sanzuo Pass, all looked up. They saw, from the blood-stained spatial rift, Shan Shituo holding the gilded *pa*, with a White Tiger roaring beside him, its killing aura chilling the surroundings!
*Boom!*
The void fluctuated, and the spatial rift trembled again. Shan Shituo extended his left hand, and a complete head, dripping with thick blood, emerged from the void and landed in Shan Shituo's palm.
*Boom!*
A deafening roar, followed by thunderous rumbling!
Throughout the Three Thousand Dao Provinces plane, the earth again let out waves of mournful cries, like the heavens weeping. A torrent of blood rain once again poured down madly.
At this moment, all beings in the world were bewildered. In the Central Continent, within the Chu family's territory, countless titans and old ancestors all looked into the distance. Another being had fallen. In just a few hours, two beings of the Chaos Dao Venerable Extreme Realm had perished.
What was happening in this world?
Shan Shituo oriented himself and struck the void. A green passageway condensed, and he stepped inside. The heavens and earth returned to tranquility. However, in less than half a day, a massive storm swept across the Three Thousand Dao Provinces plane. A terrifying force forced countless titans and beings to re-evaluate the Great Han Dynasty.
