124. Defeating the Immortals

Chapter 124: Defeating the Immortals

The two wounded celestial demons, though fleeing for their lives, could not outrun Li Hao's sword.

Once again, the flower petals paved the way.

Sword energy instantly pierced through the body of the purple-eyed bull demon, tearing its form apart.

Then, the sword energy curved and sliced off the head of the green-scaled viper.

The two great demons perished instantly.

Both were celestial-level demons, yet they were no match for Li Hao in a single encounter.

Li Hao's gaze turned to Li Hongzhuang's battle, intending to assist. The current him was vastly different from when he first stepped into the celestial realm.

In the past few days, he had integrated numerous techniques into his Grandmaster Path of All Things, forming the embryonic stage of a new system.

However, other great demons surged from the horde at that moment.

Simultaneously, demons throughout the camp rampaged, destroying the numerous tents.

Some demons even charged towards the graveyard.

Li Hao glanced at Li Hongzhuang. Despite being surrounded by three Immortal-level demons, she was holding her own, wielding her ultimate skills with immense power, preventing the demons from attacking head-on.

Seeing she could manage for a bit longer, Li Hao decided to stop holding back and unleashed his Heaven and Earth Avatar.

In an instant, a hundred-foot-tall golden avatar appeared, like a majestic deity descending.

Li Hongzhuang and the three great demons, engrossed in their fierce battle, were stunned by this sudden majestic presence. Noticing it, they were all shocked.

An avatar of this size suggested at least a four-pole realm existence.

But the avatar's face was that of the young boy from before.

Li Hongzhuang's eyes widened in disbelief. She couldn't fathom what kind of soul refining technique Li Hao practiced to achieve such a terrifying level.

Li Hao's Heaven and Earth Avatar stood in the camp, raising a massive hand to swat at the demon horde, instantly annihilating many.

Facing these hordes, the most suitable technique would be the Ocean of Infinity Sword Technique for large-scale attacks.

Or using the Falling Snow Sword Technique could also cover a wide area.

However, both were Li family martial arts, which Li Hao had vowed not to use.

He controlled his avatar, unleashing a self-created technique, integrating the Falling Snow Sword Technique, Yin-Yang Reversal Sword, and the raining ambiance, forming a new technique: Blizzard Sword Technique.

Combining two high-grade sword techniques with the essence of nature's rain, this new top-tier art was born.

Li Hao had learned from all things in nature, and the rain complemented the Falling Snow Sword Technique, paired with the Yin-Yang Reversal Sword's reality-bending nature, making the blizzard's attacks unpredictable.

Unfortunately, Li Hao currently wielded no divine sword, reducing the technique's power significantly.

Yet it was more than enough to slaughter these lesser demons.

Suddenly, the temperature plummeted, cold air spreading, with snowflakes and dewdrop-like rain appearing.

Swept by a force, they formed a storm, engulfing the demon horde.

Demons touching the blizzard's edge were instantly shredded, uncontrollably drawn in and pulverized.

This storm of snowflakes and wind blades was, in fact, a vortex of countless sword energies.

Li Hao took a deep breath, his veins pulsing, and unleashed three consecutive strikes.

Three blizzard vortices swept through the camp, killing countless demons. The Heaven and Earth Avatar, with each gesture, crushed numerous demons. Even celestial demons attempting to attack Li Hao's avatar were easily swatted to death.

Li Hao, standing in the camp like an invincible war god, wielded his sword energy, annihilating all demons.

More demons surged forward but met with massive casualties, blood flowing and limbs flying everywhere.

Li Hao held the broken sword, unmoving.

Regretting and contemplating, he realized his other stages hadn't reached their limits, unlike his Perfect Soul Stage, which had produced the Heaven and Earth Avatar.

If he could fully open his major veins, perhaps he would reach the full potential of the Celestial Stage, unlocking unknown mystical powers.

"Divine Power!"

Seeing more demons charging towards the graveyard, Li Hao's eyes flared with anger, activating his Celestial Stage divine power.

The Celestial Stage had three levels: Unity, Divine Image, and Grandmaster.

Initially, one couldn't truly be called a master, merely integrating their techniques into one.

Next was condensing the soul into a divine image, mastering divine power, able to intimidate thousands.

Finally, the Grandmaster Stage, capable of defeating thousands alone, though not for long, unlike the Immortal Stage's free movement.

After much refining, Li Hao had advanced from Unity to Grandmaster.

An invincible force among thousands!

Standing in the camp like a commanding deity, Li Hao manipulated his avatar to slaughter continuously, condensing divine power to intimidate demons near the graveyard.

Then he condensed the divine power into a sword, similar to his battle with Li Tiangang and his divine power blade!

Of course, the Immortal Stage's divine power was superior.

This power's strength depended on one's soul force.

Li Hao's divine power was unrivaled among his peers. His roar made many demons tremble, their advance slowing.

Charging through, Li Hao slaughtered all invading demons.

The Blizzard Sword Technique raged, consuming demon lives, while his Heaven and Earth Avatar stomped and smashed, creating an aura of invincibility.

Demons hesitated, fearing and retreating.

"Damn it!"

In the distance, the giant bird attacking Li Hongzhuang saw its minions decimated, its eyes filled with rage. It screeched furiously.

"Focus here!" Li Hongzhuang swung her sword at it.

The bird dodged but was still wounded. Furious and scared, it said to the tiger demon, "You hold her off, I'll kill that kid quickly!"

The tiger demon considered stopping it but thought of Li Hongzhuang's concern for the boy. If the bird killed him, it might distract her. It nodded, "Quickly!"

"Three breaths!"

The bird rushed, intending to kill Li Hao in three breaths.

Li Hao, pushing back the demon horde, noticed the incoming bird. He welcomed it, easing Li Hongzhuang's pressure.

"I wonder how my power compares to an Immortal?"

Ignoring the lesser demons, Li Hao's avatar turned, facing the giant bird.

"Die!!"

The bird attacked fiercely, black light shooting like lightning at Li Hao.

Li Hao's eyes grew intense. He stepped forward, unleashing a self-created ultimate technique.

Combining Half-step Invincible Fist, Severing River Sword Technique, and the Falling Star essence, he created Wrathful Star Punch!!

Stepping forward, his internal energy surged, completing seven rotations.

Seven Stars Lamp effect triggered, doubling his power! With Yin-Yang dual burst, his physical strength alone reached 35 million pounds!

Combining the deadly sword intent and Invincible Fist's force, with his avatar assisting, Li Hao's punch reached its peak. The dazzling punch tore the night, bursting forth.

The air twisted, and the punch's star-like radiance shot forward, reflected in the bird's eyes.

"No, this is impossible!"

The bird screamed, its claws slashing, but the punch obliterated them.

Its body was engulfed, smashed by the avatar's punch, sending it flying with a cry, chest caved and feathers scattering.

The black bird tumbled onto Li Hongzhuang's battlefield, bloodied and dirty.

The tiger demon and six-toothed boar's eyes widened in fear, nearly bisected by Li Hongzhuang's strike.

They retreated, glancing at the bird.

It promised to return in three breaths, but returned in one.

Beaten back.

The two demons were terrified, staring at the boy. His aura was celestial, yet... a celestial defeating an Immortal in one strike?

Li Hongzhuang, unable to capitalize, was frustrated. Seeing the bird, she was also stunned, focusing on Li Hao. Did he just do that?

The bird, rising, spat blood and organs.

Its eyes filled with fear and anger at Li Hao, sensing death from his punch.

"Retreat!"

The bird fled, fearing death, seeing no point in risking against humans. Uncertain if more hid in the shadows.

Here to test and potentially kill Li Hongzhuang, it now feared the strange boy.

Calling to its allies was its limit, flying off.

The tiger demon and boar hesitated, realizing their disadvantage. Three against one had a chance, but two against two was folly. They quickly followed, retreating.

They had attacked before, retreating when failing.

Li Hongzhuang pursued, but the demons blocked her, slowing her chase.

"Stay here, I'll go after them."

Before she could curse, Li Hao's voice came from behind, charging ahead, pursuing the demons in flight.

She froze, her face changing dramatically.
