Chapter 684 The Three Great Daos Temper One's Body!
Shi Hao was unaware of what was happening in the outside world.
Because at this moment, he was completely absorbed in comprehending the Great Dao.
He sat on the bluestone steps for a long time, the surrounding mist flowing slowly with his breath. Occasionally, a shower of light would fall on him, but it would disappear without a trace, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.
Lin Dong squatted on another stone step, glancing up at Shi Hao every now and then.
He was also trying to understand the Taoist principles left on these bluestone steps!
Unfortunately, his path is somewhat different from the path of this world.
Therefore, he pondered for a long time but failed to grasp the true meaning of the Great Dao of this world.
Of course, besides Lin Dong, Han Li, Luo Feng, and others were also in the same situation.
"Third Brother, Brother Shi Hao has been sitting here for several hours now, why hasn't he made a sound? Could something have happened to him?"
Seeing that Shi Hao was sitting there as if he had truly entered a meditative state, Lin Dong immediately asked Han Li, who was standing next to him, out of curiosity.
Han Li patiently explained, "He's probably in the process of enlightenment. This state is most vulnerable to being disturbed. Let's just wait patiently..."
Luo Feng listened to Lin Dong and Han Li's words and couldn't help but glance at Shi Hao as well.
He could sense that although Shi Hao was not releasing any aura, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him was gathering towards him at an extremely slow speed.
That convergence wasn't absorption, but rather a response to some kind of call.
Qian Renxue, Qingyi, Fengwu, Qin Hao, and the cultivators from the Sinful State all turned their gazes in this direction.
As they comprehended their own Dao, they began to observe the changes in Shi Hao.
But then, in the very next second...
Shi Hao suddenly opened his eyes.
His eyes lacked any sparkle, only displaying an almost frenzied determination.
"Heaven and earth are the furnace, all paths are the fire, burning my flesh, scorching my primordial spirit, building my true self..."
Shi Hao slowly stood up, looked up at the chaotic sky above, and murmured softly.
His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
Lin Dong was stunned. He subconsciously asked, "Brother Shi Hao, what are you talking about?"
Shi Hao did not answer his question, but took a deep breath and then slowly opened his arms!
The next moment!
"--boom!!!"
Suddenly, the spiritual power within Shi Hao's body erupted.
It wasn't expanding outwards, but rather contracting inwards, like a black hole pulling everything around it into its body.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the chaotic mist, the light rain, the Daoist rhyme, and even the dust in the air were all rushing towards him frantically.
What is he doing?
Han Li's expression changed drastically, and he instinctively took out several array flags from his storage bag, intending to set up a defense.
But it was too late.
"--boom!!!"
An invisible flame of the Great Dao ignited within Shi Hao's body.
The flame had no color, yet it could burn everything.
It is not an ordinary fire, but one formed from the Daoist marks on three thousand blue stone steps, containing the most primordial power between heaven and earth.
Flames erupted from Shi Hao's pores, engulfing his entire body.
Shi Hao's body began to glow, with various colors of light—gold, red, purple, cyan—intertwining from the inside out, like dazzling fireworks in bloom.
But the light contained terrifyingly high temperatures, even scorching and distorting the surrounding chaotic mist.
"Oh no! Brother Shi Hao is self-immolating!"
Lin Dong was shocked and jumped up, about to rush over. "Don't move!"
Luo Feng grabbed him and said in a deep voice, "He is seeking enlightenment, he is deliberately inviting disaster. If you rush over, you will only harm him!"
Lin Dong stamped his feet anxiously: "But look at him... he's almost burned to ashes!"
Everyone stared intently at it.
Indeed, Shi Hao's body was beginning to melt away at a visible speed under the burning of the Great Dao True Fire.
First, the skin peels away piece by piece, like a cracked riverbed, revealing the flesh beneath.
The flesh and blood quickly turned charred and carbonized in the flames, then turned into ashes and scattered.
Next, his tendons and bones also began to twist and deform under the high temperature!
The air was filled with creaking and groaning sounds.
While everyone was observing, Shi Hao's body had already been burned beyond recognition.
His body resembled a charred skeleton, with almost all the flesh gone, leaving only a blackened skeleton and a faint glow within.
"Brother Shi Hao..."
Lin Dong, his eyes red, wanted to go up and check the situation, but Luo Feng held him down firmly, preventing him from going forward.
Han Li said with a worried expression, "Brother Shi Hao, has she gone mad? Using heaven and earth as a furnace and all the Dao as fire, she's burning herself! If she's not careful, she'll be destroyed, body and soul..."
Upon hearing Han Li's words, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
"Big brother, you have to hold on! We still have a fight to finish..."
Qin Hao gripped the Silver Dragon Spear tightly in his hand, his voice trembling as he murmured.
The cultivators from the Sinful State were already terrified, their faces ashen, and they retreated repeatedly, no longer daring to look directly at Shi Hao.
They had never seen such a crazy method of cultivation.
Outside the ancient ruins, the sect leaders who were watching through the stone tablets also noticed this scene.
"Look at that sinful blood from the lower realm, what is he doing?"
"He actually used the True Fire of the Great Dao to refine himself? Is he insane?"
"Is this cultivation or suicide? Without even a peerless ancient flame, how can you expect to ignite a divine fire with just those scattered Dao traces?"
"Hahaha, that's hilarious! I thought he had some special skills, but it turns out he's just courting death."
“His life force is almost gone, and his eyes are unfocused. If this continues, he will be gone in less than half an hour.”
"Is this the enlightenment of the descendants of sinful blood? To die in a spectacular way? Unfortunately... it will only become a laughing stock."
The cult leaders were all gloating, their eyes filled with contempt.
Having lived for so many years, they have witnessed countless prodigies ignite their divine fire!
But I have never seen anything so crazy and so stupid.
Without an ancient, unparalleled fire, without any extraordinary celestial phenomena, and without any protective measures, to simply and nakedly set oneself ablaze—isn't that courting death?
Qin Changsheng frowned as he looked at the black skull in the picture.
"What...what exactly does this child want to do?"
A complex look flashed in Qin Changsheng's eyes.
He didn't understand why Shi Hao would try to ignite the divine fire in such a place.
And in such a risky way!
It should be noted that since the Immortal Ancient Era, no one has ever used this method to try to ignite the divine fire within their body.
Shi Hao's move was undoubtedly a pioneering and unique path!
Its danger is no different from that of a moth drawn to a flame!
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Qin Changsheng would never have imagined that there would be someone in this world who would ignite the divine fire in such a crazy way.
