The next day, Cao Ya and Shi Hao left Shi Village and ventured deep into the wilderness.
This ancient and desolate mountain range has been the domain of ancient species for millions of years, especially the powerful ferocious beasts at the Venerable Realm, who roam freely and intimidate this region.
However, with the gods present, everyone was fearless and eager to try their skills and break through their cultivation levels in the great battle.
Cao Ya came for the ancient species above the Venerable Realm, leaving the ordinary ferocious beasts to Shi Hao and his group.
He couldn't just attack ordinary ferocious beasts indiscriminately, otherwise he would easily break a taboo.
Yunxi, Huoling'er, and the Nine-Headed Lion, among others, all displayed formidable strength and can be considered the pride and joy of the younger generation, but compared to Shi Hao, they still fall short.
The vast wilderness is home to countless ferocious beasts.
Boom!!!
Shi Hao fought against the ferocious beast, which was hundreds of feet in size. His divine power surged, and he used various magical techniques at will. After a hundred moves, he finally killed the ferocious beast, which was below the Venerable level and could be considered a first-class beast, on the spot.
"Shi Hao, you're a fucking monster!" the Nine-Headed Lion, Fire Crow, and others muttered.
Yunxi and Huoling'er also sighed, saying that Shi Hao's rise to power was unstoppable. The Stone Emperor had bestowed upon him the title of Marquis of Desolate Heaven, and there were rumors that the Stone Emperor was about to embark on a long journey and would pass the throne to Shi Hao.
If Shi Hao truly becomes the new Emperor of the Stone Kingdom, then he'll be on the same level as my father... He'll become my elder...
Huo Ling'er's heart was filled with emotion. Looking at Shi Hao, who was dragging the ferocious beast back with an excited expression, she suddenly laughed.
"Let's have a barbecue. It'll be good to have something to eat before we hit the road," Shi Hao said happily.
"Pah, pah, pah, what are you saying? It's so unlucky." Yunxi rolled her eyes at Shi Hao. She was beautiful and charming. When Shi Hao saw her, his heart seemed to skip a beat, as if he was smitten.
This chubby girl actually has some charm...
Shi Hao muttered to himself, then looked at Huo Ling'er again. Their eyes met, and this time Huo Ling'er wasn't shy; she just smiled. On the contrary, Shi Hao felt a little embarrassed.
"Haha!" Everyone laughed and teased him, making Shi Hao blush.
"Stop talking, come help me, I brought a lot of good stuff." Shi Hao said, pulling out a large pile of cooking utensils and seasonings, clearly a big foodie.
"Little girl from Tian Shen Mountain, go help your husband. We're still waiting to eat roast meat," Er Tu Zi said lazily, ordering Yun Xi around.
"Get lost!" Yunxi gritted her teeth, but still went over to help out.
The group wasn't too nervous. After all, with a Celestial God in charge, even an ancient remnant at the Venerable Realm would probably be no match for a slap in front of a Celestial God.
After enjoying a delicious barbecue, Cao Ya and his group set off, venturing deeper into the Great Wilderness. The ferocious beasts they encountered grew increasingly powerful, but Cao Ya did not take action. Meanwhile, Shi Hao and the others also grew stronger.
Finally, an ancient remnant species at the Venerable Realm appeared, flying in the sky with wings as large as mountains, covering the sky and the sun. Its bright blue eyes, like lakes embedded in the sky, exuded a cold aura.
The ancient remnant looked down at Shi Hao, Yun Xi, and Huo Ling'er, and upon seeing that they were a group of cultivators who were not yet at the Venerable Realm, it immediately revealed a disdainful expression.
"A bunch of insects." The ancient remnant sneered, its large claws reaching out to grab and wipe out the group of small insects that had dared to trespass into the depths of the wilderness.
Suddenly, the ancient remnant felt a jolt in his heart; he seemed to have overlooked something.
Wait! There seems to be another person in that group whom I completely overlooked... It wasn't until after I made my move, with my senses constantly warning me, that I realized... what level of person was that...? Damn it, is it fun to pretend to be an ordinary person and play the fool to outsmart others...?
The ancient remnant was first startled, then felt like it was about to vomit blood. It hurriedly retracted its claws, flapped its wings, and prepared to spread its wings at top speed, flying hundreds of miles away from this place.
However, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared, piercing through the heavens and earth, tearing through the clouds. Amidst the surging laws, the ancient remnant was also pierced through in one strike, letting out a miserable cry before falling to the ground.
Only when the ancient remnants fell from the sky did the rumbling thunder echo.
"One-hit kill! Is this the power of a god?" the crowd whispered, all quite shocked, but at the same time, they also felt it was perfectly normal.
If one does not possess such power, how can one be called a god?
"The taste of an ancient remnant of the Venerable Realm must be delicious." Shi Hao was not too shocked. He had witnessed Cao Ya's power outside the Kunpeng Divine Nest in the past, which was unparalleled in ancient and modern times. On the contrary, he looked at the fallen ferocious bird's body, licked his lips, and a look of appetite appeared in his eyes.
Shi Hao often viewed non-human ferocious beasts as prey and food.
Upon hearing Shi Hao's words, everyone snapped out of their daze, exchanged bewildered glances, and then their appetites increased, their mouths watering.
"That would indeed be a great tonic for you." Cao Ya smiled faintly, but he was also curious, as he had never tasted the food of a Venerable Realm ferocious bird before.
"A lot of tonics are good; they can strengthen your foundation," the crowd chuckled.
Sure enough, after eating the roasted meat of the ancient remnant, everyone's bodies glowed, their faces turned red, and they felt an endless power within them, which seemed to have no outlet.
In the end, they could only seek out ferocious beasts deep in the Great Wilderness to fight. For more than half a month, the sounds of battle echoed from the depths of the Great Wilderness, and all sorts of amazing magical techniques were displayed.
Cao Ya didn't feel anything after eating it; in fact, she thought it was too tough and not very tasty.
"Your expectations are too high," Er Tuzi said speechlessly.
He was the Peacock Venerable. Although his cultivation had gone wrong, he was still a Venerable in essence, which is why he was able to directly absorb and digest the roasted meat from that ancient remnant species.
Besides Er Tuzi, Mao Qiu also ate until his belly was bulging and his mouth was full of oil.
As for the little tower, the God-Slaying Stone, and the Imperial Butterfly that followed Shi Hao, they had no interest in this and didn't show up at all.
A few months later, Cao Ya slaughtered several more ferocious birds at the Venerable Realm. Everyone watched with envy, but they still had food in their bodies that hadn't been digested, so they could only watch and smell the aroma, their mouths watering.
Cao Ya, Er Tu Zi, and Mao Qiu ate barbecue every day until they felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. Cao Ya simply put the meat away and prepared to take it back with him.
Because of Cao Ya's divine might, many ferocious beasts lay dormant deep within the Great Wilderness. Even the most ferocious beasts at the Venerable Realm fled early, and those that were slow to escape were killed by Cao Ya. It can almost be said that there are no more ferocious beasts at the Venerable Realm in the Great Wilderness.
At the same time, they also arrived at the edge of the Great Wilderness, not close to any ancient kingdoms, standing in a remote region.
Here, strange rocks abound, and towering stone mountains stand tall.
Cao Ya spotted a bird's nest at a glance. It was large and extraordinary, built of ancient black paulownia wood, and located on the top of a stone mountain, exuding a hazy spiritual aura.
"The nest of the Sky-Devouring Sparrow." Cao Ya smiled, finally having found it.
"The Sky-Devouring Sparrow?" Everyone was surprised. It was a cruel and ferocious bird that had once roamed the Great Wilderness, slaughtering many living beings. Later, it participated in the struggle for the Kunpeng Divine Treasure and was killed by Cao Ya.
"We've reached the border; it seems we should head back." Shi Hao let out a sigh, his expression a mixture of joy and gravity. He knew that if he returned to the Shi Kingdom, he would face immense pressure, because the Shi Emperor was about to pass away, and there were quite a few who did not want to see him ascend the throne.
Everyone was preparing to head home, but Cao Ya didn't move. He turned to look at the furry ball beside him and asked:
"Do you remember anything?"
Maoqiu scratched his head, suddenly looking confused.
