Chapter 462: Chapter 462: Person from the Immortal Realm

Boom, a giant hand tore through space and reached in, but the heavens and earth, as if enraged, spawned countless bolts of Heavenly Thunder, slashing towards the giant hand.

The hand was ancient, covered with Runes, as if it had existed since the beginning of creation, the thunder struck but couldn’t inflict any harm.

The hand grabbed Su Manman, then quickly retracted, the sky full of thunder lost its target and suddenly stopped stirring, yet it gathered without dispersing, as though still on guard for the giant hand to return.

The torn space didn’t close immediately, Shi Hao saw two eyes larger than stars watching him, in front of these eyes, he had no secrets to hide, completely transparent.

Then, the eyes disappeared, the void closed, and there was no more movement.

For a moment, Shi Hao didn’t make a single move.

Throughout the process, he was like an ant, completely ignored.

—Oh, in the end, he was given one glance.

All of this was because he was too weak, so weak he didn’t even warrant attention.

To Shi Hao, this was both a humiliation and a motivation.

Even though it was her father who took Su Manman away, he could only watch helplessly, without even the right to retain her, leaving a bitter taste in his heart.

What if that person had been an enemy?

Then he could only watch helplessly as his beloved was taken away, powerless to stop it?

This feeling of powerlessness stung all over his body.

Absolutely not acceptable!

He didn’t want to be so powerless anymore, so weak that he couldn’t stand up for his loved one when needed.

He needed to become strong, not just as simple as climbing the Heaven Building Ladder, but strong enough to command respect in the Immortal Realm as well.

—The information that Su Manman casually revealed indicated Mo Bu’s family was also a formidable clan in the Immortal Realm.

Hum, space rippled, and a figure appeared out of nowhere.

He was a young man, no more than twenty-five years old, with a tall figure and a handsome face that radiated the brilliance of the Sun, every strand of hair seemed to be dipped in the glow of dawn, inspiring self-deprecation in others.

He stood there proudly, seemingly not far away, yet as if unreachable.

His eyes on Shi Hao were indifferent to the extreme, not disdain, but disregard.

Just like humans wouldn’t look down on ants, they would simply ignore them.

In that young man’s eyes, Shi Hao was an insignificant ant, not even worthy of his contempt.

But when he saw Shi Hao’s glowing belly, a shade of jealousy crossed his face.

He immediately recognized it as the Heart of Stone!

To him, that was also a precious treasure.

But he didn’t dare to snatch it.

"Su Manman is my cousin," the young man said indifferently, "I’m just here to tell you, she is not someone you can aspire to, you don’t even have the right to think about it!"

"From now on, you have no connection with her whatsoever, so stop your futile daydreams."

Shi Hao also looked at the man, saying, "This is a matter between Manman and me, it’s none of your business."

Hearing the word Manman, the young man’s eyebrows twitched slightly, but he didn’t erupt in anger, instead, he smiled and said, "It seems, you truly don’t know the gap between an Immortal and a mortal!"

He stretched out his hand and swept it across the sky, and instantly, day turned into night.

It wasn’t that the sky was obscured, but that the entire Celestial Body had been accelerated in rotation, the land beneath Shi Hao’s feet instantly moved to the opposite side of the Sun.

Hiss, what kind of terrifying power is this?

With another snap of his fingers, the young man caused a star in the distant cosmos to suddenly explode.

Shi Hao’s pupils tightened sharply. He knew that the stars above were actually celestial bodies, many of which were no smaller than the Yunding Star beneath his feet. They only appeared so tiny because they were so far away.

Yet, despite the vast distance, this young man had shattered one with a mere snap of his fingers.

To snap one’s fingers and extinguish a star, what immense power was this?

Heaven Building Ladder?

Not even close!

"Mortals should humbly accept their status and not covet the existence of the Immortal Realm, much less aspire to the lofty stature of my cousin, a favored daughter of heaven," the young man said coolly. However, as he was showing off, the sky filled with thunderous tumult, striking at him.

Before, he had stood calmly as if unnoticed by the heavens and earth, but as soon as he made his move, he immediately drew their ire.

This world could not accommodate such a powerful existence. It was disruptive to the balance and had to be eliminated.

"Damn it!" The young man cursed under his breath. He had special artifacts on him that could conceal his presence, making him invisible to the Power of Heaven and Earth.

But in his attempt to intimidate Shi Hao, he had acted twice in quick succession, revealing the aura of the Immortal Realm and naturally invoking the heavens’ antagonism.

He could no longer stay, for his cultivation was not yet strong enough to withstand the Power of Heaven and Earth in the Mortal Realm.

"Insect, remember my warning!" he said to Shi Hao, then ripped open the fabric of space and vanished without a trace.

Suddenly, the thunderclouds scattered, but the sky remained dark as Yunding Star had not returned to its original position.

Shi Hao stood solemnly still.

If the father of Su Manman had provided him with a strong positive motive, then this young man had given him a negative drive.

Get stronger! Stronger! Stronger!

The young man’s casual wave made a celestial body change its course, and a snap of his fingers obliterated a star in the sky. Such power caused Shi Hao’s hairs to stand on end—not out of fear, but from an eagerness to surpass him.

"Manman, I will enter the Immortal Realm as soon as I can!"

He vowed in his heart, then began to familiarize himself with the use of the Immortal Abode.

It was a powerful artifact, certainly a lifesaver, so he needed to understand how to use it immediately.

However, he soon showed a wry smile.

The Immortal Abode was indeed extraordinary, but after Su Manman’s reckless charging in the secret realm, it had consumed a great deal of energy. Although it had the ability to self-recover, this was the Mortal Realm, not the Immortal Realm, and the energy the Immortal Abode could absorb was extremely limited.

So, the idea of using the Immortal Abode to wreak havoc was unrealistic.

At best, he could only hide in it when in danger, as that would be the only way to maintain the energy consumption of the Immortal Abode.

Well, that was enough.

After familiarizing himself with the operation of the Immortal Abode, Shi Hao prepared for his breakthrough.

Having consumed so many Spirit Fruits and Spirit Pills, his cultivation had already reached the Peak of Ten Islands, giving him the qualifications to attempt the breakthrough to Self-Observation. Furthermore, in the Purple Green Secret Realm, he had exchanged enough Spiritual Medicine to gather the material conditions needed for the breakthrough.

Now, he was just a step away.

Once his stomach stopped glowing, Shi Hao took action; he needed to ascertain his current location.

Two days later, he arrived in a city. Upon inquiring, he discovered that this was not the Eastern Fire Continent, but the Western Rock Continent.

He had flown straight out of the Purple Green Secret Realm and landed directly on the Western Rock Continent.

Well, no matter. The priority now was to break through to Self-Observation.
