CHAPTER 612: CHAPTER 611 ONE SLASH

These two people’s conversation left Lin Hao startled.

He had never imagined that Sunset Three Laughs entered the Bitter Realm sandstorm not for the profound Martial Techniques inside, but for a girl!

There must be a story behind this, but since Sunset Three Laughs does not mention it, Lin Hao did not feel it appropriate to ask.

Wuhua stood at the inn’s entrance, watching Lin Hao and Sunset Three Laughs leave, tears washing over her face, yet she could not bear to wipe them away.

Leaving the inn, Lin Hao and Sunset Three Laughs walked for a full half-month.

Finally, they exited the land of the Bitter Realm.

Beyond the Bitter Realm was the Thousand Needle Stone Forest.

Although the terrain still resembled a desert, there were quite a few mountain peaks.

These peaks were abrupt and towering, as if countless needles were thrust into the earth.

Strangely enough, despite the sandy desert at the mountain base, the mountains were lush and vibrant with life.

The people here lived atop these mountains.

Between the mountains, there were many rope ways connecting them.

It was said that this place was a gathering area for the Mosegi dwarves.

Time passed quickly, and almost a month later, they finally entered the Thousand Needle Stone Forest; the desolation of the Bitter Realm was nowhere to be found.

This place was teeming with people, with many residing on every mountain peak.

The bustle was endless.

"This is the Thousand Needle Stone Forest, it’s said that the Heavenly Descending Divine Artifact fell within the territory of the Thousand Needle Country. We just need to ask around to find the exact location," Sunset Three Laughs paused, turned, and looked back at Lin Hao.

Lin Hao, still recognized as an Earthling, did not alter his appearance and was recognized at first glance everywhere he went.

However, this time, Lin Hao did not intend to disguise himself; he wanted to make his way in the Upper Realm Plane as an Earthling!

"Then let’s ask."

Lin Hao looked up towards the mountaintop, his lips slightly raised.

Sunset Three Laughs nodded and started walking towards the foremost Zhen Mountain.

"Look, an Earthling!"

There were many people in the Thousand Needle Stone Forest, with almost every mountain peak equipped with an elevator system.

These elevators served as ropeways for ascending and descending the mountain, and they were frequently used.

Just as Lin Hao and Sunset Three Laughs approached, many people noticed them.

"That’s really an Earthling."

"Capture him! Take him to the Thousand Needle auction house; they’re selling Earthling slaves there!"

"It’s said that to awaken the Heavenly Descending Divine Artifact, the blood of an Earthling is needed as a sacrifice. Now, everyone is trying to capture Earthlings. Even if we can’t get the artifact, this Earthling can sell for a good price."

In the crowd, everyone whispered among themselves, regarding Lin Hao not as a man but as a movable Divine Artifact, a walking treasure!

Some people even began to breathe heavily, their eyes gleaming uncontrollably as they gripped their weapons.

An Earthling dares to come openly to the Thousand Needle Country, what does this mean?

Is it the courage of the talented, or ignorance of the fearless?

Though the crowd was excited, it didn’t mean they were foolish.

"He... seems to only have Anti-void Realm Cultivation?"

"No, it’s the Sky-breaking Realm; that faint aura fluctuation should be the Sky-breaking Realm Third Layer Heaven."

The Sky-breaking Realm Third Layer Heaven, in the Upper Realm Plane, is merely the lowest of the low!

With such cultivation, he still dares to roam around?

Lin Hao walked closer and soon arrived near the elevator.

Instantly, the entire base of the mountain fell silent, with every gaze turning fervent.

At last, unable to hold back any longer, someone brandished a sword and charged forward.

"Stop!"

"Do you know where you are!?"

"Earthlings, daring to come here, obediently put down your weapons and follow us, or else you shall regret it for a lifetime!"

Seven or eight people were blocking the road in front, three of whom were Mosiji dwarves and the other five were treasure-seeking aliens from various races, each at least at the Emperor Cultivation realm, capable of founding nations and declaring themselves emperors.

These eight people stood blocking the road, each of them sneering continuously.

Yet, no sooner had their voices fallen.

"Whoosh!"

Blades flashed up, blades flashed down, and eight heads flew up neatly into the air, eight headless bodies spurting blood towards the sky.

"Those who block the way, die!"

Sunset Three Laughs stood beside Lin Hao, the blade on his back shimmering with a chilling light, his actions clean and decisive without a word, he just killed!

"Thud! Thud!"

Eight heads hit the ground and rolled away, their bodies finally fell straight down,

A cold wind blew, a murderous aura sweeping from under Sunset Three Laughs’ feet all the way to the elevator at the foot of the mountain.

Everyone shivered, the murderous aura causing their skin to goosebump.

What a formidable master!

In an instant, all eyes finally shifted to Sunset Three Laughs standing beside Lin Hao.

Everyone had been just watching the Earthling, completely failing to notice that beside Lin Hao, there was an expressionless person from the Bitter Realm, whose appearance was chilling to behold!

Who is this?

Although the name Sunset Three Laughs was well-known, very few had actually seen him in person, and no one here recognized him.

People looked at each other with pale faces, almost subconsciously, they all backed away and cleared a path.

Are you kidding? Eight masters of Emperor Level, decapitated by a single stroke of Sword Energy.

What kind of power is this?

That must at least be a Great Emperor!

And no ordinary Great Emperor at that!

No wonder an Earthling dares to show up here so boldly, no wonder an Earthling, who only has Anti-void or Sky-breaking Realm Cultivation, dared to come here.

It turns out that this Earthling was merely a slave or war trophy of this great Bitter Realm emperor.

Make way, make way, no one dared to resist Sunset Three Laughs, not even a single word, as they knew their own Cultivation was far inferior compared to those eight Emperors.

In the blink of an eye, the nearest people dispersed, running more than fifty steps away.

Sunset Three Laughs remained expressionless, his gaze didn’t even flicker as he walked directly between those eight bodies and stepped onto the first elevator.

Lin Hao wasn’t there to cause trouble, he also paid no attention to the others and followed Sunset Three Laughs onto the elevator.

This elevator was a very simple mechanical device, powered by animals.

Sunset Three Laughs was not new to this kind of device; once Lin Hao was on the elevator, he glanced over to a large wheel beside him.

Next to the wheel, which was similar to a millstone, stood an enormous animal resembling a yak.

This animal also possessed Sky-breaking Realm Cultivation, tied up here to pull that millstone-like wheel.

Sunset Three Laughs gathered Qi into power and flicked the giant yak’s butt.

Pop!

The yak, its butt stinging, promptly started to move.

It dragged the millstone-like wheel continuously turning, and at the same time, the elevator started to ascend.

The mountain was a thousand meters tall; however, the yak-like beast was quite remarkable.

In less than five minutes, the elevator reached the mountain top.

The mountain of Thousand Needle Stone Forest had a summit flat like a plain.

The mountain wasn’t large, spanning a kilometer in diameter, but there were many buildings.

When Lin Hao stepped out from the elevator, he once again attracted the attention of the crowds.

"Look, there’s an Earthling over there!"

"Oh, it really is an Earthling!"

"Earthlings dare to walk out in the open now?"
