Chapter 297: Ten Thousand Men, I Will Go Forth; Consecutive Instantaneous Kills (9k Combined Chapter)

"Is this the strongest individual here?"

"Weak, too weak."

"Mortal realm Dao Law Realm cultivators, with such paltry abilities. The three martial arts realms they've mastered are merely the result of years of cultivation. An old bone, it's time to be buried."

"To cultivate to this level in a place with such meager energy, their aptitude is still passable."

In the mid-air, six figures stood tall, four men and two women, each breathtakingly beautiful, like radiant pearls, dazzling and radiating light.

They exuded the aura of unparalleled prodigies, with an air of arrogance and nonchalance. They looked down upon the old Daoist on the plaza with casual smiles and disdain.

The old Daoist was a True Master of the Qian Dao Palace, surnamed Qin. He wasn't a member of the Jiang family, but rather a young boy picked up by an ancestor of the Jiang family from the ruins ravaged by demons thousands of years ago. He had been kept by the ancestor to listen to his teachings and cultivate.

The once young Daoist boy had now become an old man with white hair and a frail body.

If that Jiang family ancestor were still alive, he would see that the cheerful boy beside him, with his tender face, now had wrinkles like dried tree bark.

But his eyebrows still retained some familiar contours from his childhood.

Whether it was sweat or blood, it trickled down the sides of his face.

True Master Qin gasped softly, his sword propped against the ground, supporting his body.

His Daoist robe was tattered, his blood qi was dull, and his face was pale, but his eyes were raised, fixed on the six individuals in the sky.

Those six young and vigorous figures, brimming with confidence and arrogance, but compared to the countless other prodigies he had encountered, these six possessed incredibly terrifying power. They were no longer mere prodigies, but Dao Law Realm powerhouses, only a step away from reaching the heavens and becoming Saints!

Although that step was incredibly far and difficult, barring countless brilliant prodigies throughout history, reaching the doorstep of that step was still a feat achieved by only one in billions!

Was he going to lose?

True Master Qin's eyes were sharp, but his heart sank steadily.

Not long ago, he had told the Emperor that he would hold back the storm for Dayu for another ten years, giving the young man ten years to shield him from the wind and snow, allowing him to fully mature and inherit his position.

But now, the six prodigies who had suddenly appeared behind the three Wild Gods had shattered all his hopes.

It was like an 'accident', unpredictable.

A meteorite falls, destroying a city, causing accidental deaths.

And the Dayu Divine Dynasty, with its profound foundation, had over thirty Four Pillars Realm cultivators under the secret control of the royal family!

Such a foundation could withstand any wind and snow, any turmoil. Coupled with its vast territory, even if dozens of meteorites fell, it could withstand them and not be destroyed.

However, the six Dao Law Realm cultivators before them were equivalent to the sky falling for the Dayu Divine Dynasty!

"Not bad, you've managed to withstand twenty of our attacks without dying. You'd better hold on, the number of people around you seems far greater than twenty."

A stunningly beautiful woman chuckled softly.

Her eyes were like bright stars, her delicate brows like distant ink, her whole body exuding an endless charm. Her smile was like a blossoming peach, but the words she spoke sent chills down everyone's spines.

True Master Qin took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly focusing, becoming even colder.

The energy within his body was constantly contracting and condensing, his meridians slowly tearing and melting, his entire body's meridians beginning to rupture.

He was preparing to sacrifice his Dao power and fight to the death.

But at that moment, a figure suddenly flew towards them, blocking him.

He wore a jet-black imperial robe, the long trailing hem falling to the ground. Majestic dragon patterns coiled around the robe, exuding a natural regal aura.

True Master Qin was slightly stunned, his face changing as he looked up at the figure before him.

The newcomer was none other than the Emperor.

At this moment, the Emperor held the Dragon Pattern Jade Seal in his hand, his body towering, his eyes like the flames of a candle, piercing through the sun and moon, gazing at the six individuals in the sky.

"This incense offering is collected by my Jiang family. You've come here for it, haven't you? Take it, can you spare us our lives? If you wish to establish your Dao lineage, the countless billions of my Dayu people are willing to offer you tribute!"

The Emperor slowly raised his hand, holding the supremely noble Jade Seal high in his palm. His authoritative voice was incredibly low.

The lightning-fast attack of these six Dao Law Realm cultivators, breaking through the Imperial City, the Imperial Palace, and defeating the True Master, all these changes were unforeseen, leading him to make this choice at this moment.

"Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty..."

Hearing the Emperor's words, Xia Linglong, Li Mu Xiu, and other powerful individuals who had rushed to provide reinforcements but were captured and restrained were all shocked.

Looking at the majestic figure standing tall like a mountain, they felt like crying. He was the Emperor, the one to whom ten thousand people bowed their heads, and yet, he was now bowing his head.

Was this Divine Dynasty, which had stood here for three thousand years, finally coming to an end?

True Master Qin stared blankly at the Emperor's back, instantly understanding that the Emperor had realized they had no hope.

The Emperor was also a Wen Dao Realm cultivator, although only at the True Master Realm, but he understood what six Dao Law Realm cultivators represented, not to mention the demons who hadn't yet made a move.

The arm holding the sword hilt trembled slightly, and True Master Qin lowered his head.

Three thousand years of planning, now being plundered. How could such hatred be endured?

His ancestor was about to be resurrected, yet it was all destroyed. How could he bear it?!

The entire city was destroyed, the people reduced to pigs and dogs for consumption. How could he bear it?!

But the Emperor wasn't an ordinary person, not just anyone. This pain, worse than the humiliation of being beneath someone's crotch, he endured, and he had to endure.

Watching the Emperor offer the Jade Seal, offering the Dayu realm, everyone felt an indescribable sadness and sorrow.

Those who could come here were all powerful individuals, and they weren't stupid either. They knew that the Emperor's actions were to protect the human race, to preserve the green mountains, so that there might be hope in the future.

But where was that hope?

True Master Qin lowered his head. He realized that the Emperor's actions were likely placing his hopes on that young man.

Fortunately, he didn't come...

Thinking of the young man's potential and growth rate, the sadness and immense anger in his heart suddenly seemed to lessen.

Ten years, perhaps only ten years, and that young man would be able to reclaim everything for them.

If that were the case, the current pain wouldn't be so unbearable.

Thinking this, he secretly let out a sigh of relief.

But before he could fully exhale, a cold voice came from above:

"We can obtain this incense offering even if we kill you. Everything here is already ours. What are you doing? Are you trying to make us divide the spoils prematurely, create conflict, and use this as an opportunity to find a chance to strike back?"

The speaker was a young man in a yellow and white robe, exuding a noble and carefree aura, but his eyes were cold, calm like a lake's surface.

He seemed to have seen through the mortal Emperor's thoughts.

Hearing his words, everyone was stunned, their faces slightly changing.

The Emperor's eyes trembled slightly, his heart sinking to the bottom.

But before he could speak again, the young man suddenly snorted coldly and said: "You dare to manipulate the Emperor's thoughts in front of me? Kneel!"

His words were law, Dao Law rules enveloped and quickly surrounded the Emperor.

The Emperor's face changed, his entire body's Dao power erupted, instantly revealing the aura of a Wen Dao Realm cultivator.

Vast and transcendent power bloomed, attempting to resist the Dao Law, but it was as if an invisible hand had grasped the Dao power he released and forced it back into his body.

His eyes widened in anger, his imperial robe fluttered, his clothes tore, and his legs were pressed down by a force, bending them. But he remained defiant, using all his strength to resist that force.

The muscles in his legs tore and stretched, and large amounts of blood spurted out.

"Your Majesty!"

"No!"

"I'll fight you!"

In the crowd, some people, seeing this scene, were shocked and enraged, rushing towards the sky, unleashing their unique martial arts.

Bang!

As soon as their bodies flew out, they exploded out of thin air. Even their souls flickered like fireworks before extinguishing, as if someone had gently snuffed them out.

At the same time, True Master Qin's face was filled with anger, and he suddenly swung his sword, severing the Dao Law.

"Humph, still trying to resist!"

The young man snorted coldly, his eyes suddenly flashing with golden light. Dao Law flowed like patterns behind him, and then suddenly pressed down.

With a bang, True Master Qin coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his body was shaken, his injuries worsening.

And the Dao Law that had just been severed from the Emperor was met with an even more violent blow.

The ground beneath his feet suddenly caved in and cracked, the entire earth trembled violently, and a vast pressure enveloped him, forcing him to kneel, losing all his dignity.

The Emperor understood that the other party wanted to use this to make an example, to instill fear and despair in the others, to dispel their fighting spirit and make them submit.

He could die, but he couldn't die in a humiliating way.

Boom!

His eyes erupted with violent killing intent, his eyes bloodshot, and he used all his strength, his body radiating a golden-red color, the power of the Divine Power Realm.

At the same time, the veins of the earth gathered, drawing in vast energy to support him.

But the Dao Law was like a majestic divine might, irresistible, and it still pressed down on his body, forcing him to kneel rapidly. All this happened in the blink of an eye.

Pfft!

In an instant, blood splattered.

The ground shook violently, like a mountain falling.

The Emperor's legs were severed from the knees down, leaving only his thighs, which slammed onto the ground, and he stood upright.

At the moment he knelt, he severed his own legs. Although the Dao Law acted upon him, his posture remained upright.

Everyone was stunned, their eyes filled with despair and grief.

The young man's eyes twitched slightly. He hadn't expected the other party to be willing to sever his own legs rather than kneel.

But would that defy his will?

"Since you won't kneel, then lie down!"

The young man spoke again, his words becoming law.

True Master Qin roared to the sky, letting out an angry cry, and charged forward with his sword.

"Don't interrupt Senior Brother Mu's fun." The woman who had previously captivated everyone with her smile and beauty stepped forward to face True Master Qin, preventing him from interfering.

Bang!

On the ground, the Emperor spat out a mouthful of blood, his body slammed to the ground like it had been hit by a heavy hammer.

"Your Majesty..."

Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes reddened, and they trembled with anger.

But no one dared to act rashly. The gap was too great. At this moment, they were like pigs and sheep in a slaughterhouse. The person who had acted in anger earlier had died before even getting close.

"I hear you have a very monstrous young fellow here. Why hasn't he come yet? Has he become sensible and abandoned you?"

Another young man wearing a half-mask asked with interest.

The faces of the people on the plaza changed slightly, and they immediately knew who he was talking about.

General Haotian, who had recently slain the Buddha, was known throughout the land. He was currently the strongest individual in Dayu, besides True Master Qin.

But he hadn't come.

However, they didn't hold any resentment in their hearts.

They just felt a sense of sadness.

Even True Master Qin had been defeated. What could that general do if he came? He would only suffer humiliation and die here with them.

It's a good thing Hao'er didn't come... Li Mu Xiu stood in the crowd, secretly relieved.

His fist, which held the power of a Half-Step Invincible, was now clenched weakly. In the face of these six young men and women, they were no different from moths.

Whether it was the Unique Skill Realm or the Tai Ping Dao Realm, in the face of the terrifying power of their words becoming law, there was no difference.

Even if they went mad with rage, they wouldn't be able to harm them in the slightest.

Fortunately, although they were in a desperate situation, Li Mu Xiu saw that Li Hao wasn't there, and he secretly felt relieved. He knew that even if all of them, the old-timers, died here, there would still be hope in the future!

Because of this, when someone had acted in anger earlier, he had remained calm.

And he had secretly sent a message to other acquaintances, telling them not to act rashly.

As long as they didn't die, they had to endure the humiliation.

Staying alive was the most important thing!

"Tian Gang, don't be impulsive. As long as Hao'er doesn't come, even if the dynasty falls, if we give Hao'er time, he will definitely avenge us in the future!"

Li Mu Xiu sent a message.

Beside him, Li Tian Gang and Li Feng Hua had also arrived. When they received the Eight Directions Flag calling for reinforcements from the Imperial City, they immediately set off from Qingzhou.

No one dared to ignore the Eight Directions Flag from the Imperial City. It meant that something major had happened in the world!

"I know, I'm not a fool."

Li Tian Gang replied through a message, his eyes filled with complexity. The desperate situation before them was something he had never imagined. What he hadn't imagined even more was that when the Dayu Divine Dynasty faced such a crisis, their current hope could only be placed on that child.

"Then let's continue our previous game."

"There are princes and princesses here, and these old guys who came to provide reinforcements. There are quite a few, over eighty."

"You have to withstand eighty of our attacks before you can die, oh."

In the mid-air, the woman with the captivating smile spoke in the voice of a demon.

As she spoke, she directly slapped True Master Qin with her hand, and a terrifying purple energy shot out, tearing open his back, revealing the bone beneath.

...

...

Yunzhou, Wang Family Divine General's Mansion.

In the empty mountain interior, many people had gathered, including many of the younger generation of the Wang family.

Compared to the crisis in the distant Imperial City, they were more concerned about whether Worm Two, the true body, could return alive from the Mo River.

The situation in the Imperial City was being handled by the older generation of the family. Some were dispatching troops, some were discussing, and some were providing reinforcements. They could only wait for news here.

In front of the Earth Store Buddha, some people repeatedly checked their Mo River record golden slips, flipping through the Merit List. Every time they saw the name "Worm Two" at the top, they felt a sense of relief.

The people in the mountain hall spoke in hushed tones, still shocked that Li Hao was actually Worm Two.

This was a bombshell. For the younger generation of the Wang family, although they were curious and admired Li Hao's status as a general, that was the extent of it. But the abilities of "Worm Two" had filled everyone in the Wang family with awe and admiration.

This was a feat that the Wang family had been unable to achieve for centuries. His fame and abilities completely overshadowed many of the Wang family's ancestors.

Even Wang Zhen Dong, whom they currently admired the most, paled in comparison to this name.

"Miss, General Haotian is actually Worm Two. The Emperor said that this is a feat worthy of being bestowed the title of Divine General!"

In the crowd, a little maid exclaimed to the girl beside her.

Earlier, they had been talking about Worm Two, guessing that it might be some old, powerful expert from the martial arts world. They never expected that it was actually the young general who had appeared out of nowhere.

"Yeah..."

The girl's eyes sparkled with excitement, thinking back to the scene of meeting the young man, her cheeks slightly reddening.

"He's still alive, and he hasn't come out yet. Can't even a Hell-level Mo River defeat him?"

"The two Mo Rivers should have merged by now, right?"

Many young people in the hall were discussing, their eyes filled with amazement and curiosity, and more importantly, envy. The young man's brilliance was simply too dazzling. Any one of his achievements would have been enough to elevate them to higher positions and make them famous.

As everyone was chatting quietly, a golden light suddenly appeared in front of the Earth Store Buddha.

The murmuring voices immediately ceased, and everyone's gazes were drawn to that spot.

The void seemed to twist slightly, and a figure stepped out of thin air, revealing his form.

It was Li Hao.

After clearing the Mo River, Feng Lao had chatted with him for a while. After their brief separation in the Great Wilderness Heaven earlier, Feng Lao seemed to have accumulated a lot of things he wanted to say.

When the Mo River was about to dissipate, he seemed reluctant to leave and made an appointment to meet Li Hao again before disappearing from the Mo River, similar to Li Hao's first time clearing the Fengshan Mo River.

Instead of following him out like Ji Yun Ge from the Dragon City Mo River.

Although he was a little puzzled, Li Hao didn't think much of it and quickly left the Mo River as well.

Fortunately, after Feng Lao's remnant soul in the Hell-level Mo River dissipated, the Hell-level Mo River no longer seemed to expand and attack, giving him a chance to escape easily.

Now, as soon as he arrived outside, Li Hao saw many figures.

"Divine General Haotian!"

A high-ranking member of the Wang family who had followed Li Hao in was waiting here. Seeing Li Hao suddenly step out, he was instantly overjoyed and excited.

"It's great, you're not dead, it's truly great!"

Li Hao was a little speechless. Although he could understand the other party's emotions, saying it so excitedly sounded strange.

I'm not a zombie...

"Where are they?"

Li Hao looked around but didn't see Wang Yongzhi, Wang Zhen Dong, and the others, which was a little unexpected.

"The Patriarch is in the council hall. I'll go notify him right away."

The man quickly said, his soul flying out of his body and disappearing in a flash.

The other young people, seeing Li Hao so close, although excited and surprised, held their breath, not daring to strike up a conversation rashly.

Perhaps it was the influence of the illustrious achievements that the young man carried on his shoulders. He simply stood there, and they felt a sense of tension and pressure. Although he was about the same age as them, his status and position were as different as heaven and earth.

Not long after, Wang Yongzhi's figure came rushing over.

Seeing that Li Hao was safe and sound, he was overjoyed and rushed over, saying:

"Divine General Haotian, it's great that you're okay. My Wang family owes you a debt of gratitude. If something had happened to you, we wouldn't know how to repay you."

"Patriarch, you're too kind. You also helped me a lot, helping me find Mr. Feng Lao." Li Hao smiled.

"That's our duty, it's nothing compared to what you've done."

Wang Yongzhi chuckled wryly, shook his head, and his face suddenly turned serious. He casually released a barrier to block the sound and said to Li Hao:

"Divine General Haotian, I just received a message from the Eight Directions Flag. The Emperor told me to inform you to leave the Dayu Divine Dynasty as soon as possible. Don't come back unless you reach the Dao Law Realm!"

"Huh?"

Li Hao was stunned. This message was a bit abrupt.

"What's going on?"

Li Hao was puzzled. Seeing his serious expression, even the nearby Wang family members were blocked from hearing.

"The Imperial City has been attacked."

Wang Yongzhi's voice was low: "We received a request for reinforcements and a military report earlier, saying that demons had attacked the Imperial City. But not long after, we received the Eight Directions Flag, which is what I just told you. The Emperor knows you'll come to our Wang family, so he told me to make sure I told you to leave Dayu immediately!"

Li Hao was stunned, then his pupils constricted slightly.

The Imperial City attacked?

First, a request for reinforcements? Then, he was told to leave immediately?

Such a contrast, even a fool would know that the worst-case scenario had likely occurred!

Li Hao looked at the Wang family Patriarch, and he instantly saw that the other party's thoughts were the same as his own.

No wonder he was so cautious, even blocking out the Wang family members. If this news got out, the entire world would likely be in chaos.

"When did it happen?"

Li Hao immediately asked.

"A quarter of an hour ago."

Wang Yongzhi said: "The news of the demon attack was too sudden. The attacks on Liangzhou, Qingzhou, and other places were likely decoys, trying to lure the True Master to provide reinforcements. But now, they've directly attacked the Imperial City. They've probably obtained some other trump card and have gathered all the demons' strength!"

Li Hao took a deep breath, didn't say anything else, and his body flickered, disappearing from the mountain hall.

Wang Yongzhi was stunned and hurriedly chased after him, but he saw that Li Hao had already arrived at the Wang family's main hall and met with the Candlelight God there.

"Divine General Haotian, where are you going?"

Wang Yongzhi hurriedly asked.

"The Imperial Capital!"

Before he finished speaking, Li Hao had already disappeared from the Divine General's Mansion with the Candlelight God using instantaneous movement.

Wang Yongzhi was stunned, then panicked and hurriedly chased after him, but Li Hao was nowhere to be seen. There were no lingering traces of instantaneous movement, making it impossible to track him.

He suddenly felt like he had made a mistake, his whole body feeling cold. He had thought that after informing Li Hao of the situation, Li Hao would retreat in the face of difficulty.

After all, life was important.

The contrast between the two pieces of information was enough to indicate that the Imperial City had likely fallen and was facing a major crisis, to the point where the Emperor had given up on requesting reinforcements and instead told Li Hao to leave.

Wang Yongzhi could also guess why the Emperor had told Li Hao to leave. If Dayu truly faced an unprecedented disaster, this young man might be the future hope!

But now, Li Hao, instead of fleeing, was rushing to the Imperial City. Wasn't this a blatant suicide mission?

The Emperor's order could only mean that even the True Master was likely in trouble!

Wang Yongzhi was stunned for a moment, then quickly found Wang Zhenfeng and told him to rush to the Imperial City to provide reinforcements as well.

At this point, there was no point in leaving Wang Zhenfeng in Yunzhou to defend. When the nest is destroyed, there are no more eggs. Unless the Wang family betrayed the Emperor and withdrew from Dayu at this critical juncture.

...

...

Whoosh!

Li Hao's figure sped through the void, as fast as lightning.

He mobilized the veins of the earth, replenishing his depleted energy while traveling, but even with the veins of the earth, it felt like a drop in the ocean.

He maintained his maximum speed, traveling over a hundred miles in a single breath.

If it were anyone else, after using instantaneous movement several times in a row, their energy would be depleted by half.

But Li Hao had opened up all the major veins in his body, and his energy reserves far exceeded those of ordinary people. Coupled with the veins of the earth, he could afford to be so extravagant, crossing half the dynasty in a row.

Traveling at this speed, if it were the Candlelight God, he would have died of exhaustion halfway.

At this moment, outside Dayu Province, Li Hao saw demonic energy surging on the ground. Countless demons were attacking the border of Dayu Province, and they had already broken through the border.

He didn't see many troops defending along the way. The demons seemed to have entered without any resistance.

Li Hao frowned, didn't bother to deal with these demonic hordes, and sped towards the center of Dayu Province.

Not long after, Li Hao finally saw the Imperial Capital.

This was his first time here.

He hadn't been to the Imperial Capital for any of the previous bestowals. Now, the first time he set foot there, he saw that the majestic Imperial City was dilapidated, with demons crawling all over the walls.

Such a sight was enough to make one's scalp tingle.

Seeing this scene, Li Hao's face darkened.

Based on the information he had received from Wang Yongzhi, he had anticipated that the situation here would be bad, but he hadn't expected it to be this bad.

The Imperial City, with the strongest formation in the world, had actually been breached.

Whoosh!

Li Hao's figure whooshed over, quickly flying towards the city.

"Hmm? More reinforcements?"

Inside the city, the black-robed youth and the purple-veined, graceful woman, who had been leisurely strolling around, had each eaten four or five Four Pillars Realm human cultivators, having a feast.

The battle in the Imperial Palace wasn't their concern. They were only here to clean up, to clear out this city.

Sensing the whooshing wind, the two demons raised their eyebrows slightly, looking towards the source with interest. New prey had arrived.

However, when they saw the face of the person who was flying over, the two demons were stunned, then their faces changed drastically:

"It's that kid!"

As they stared at Li Hao, Li Hao also stared at them.

Whoosh!

His figure suddenly increased in speed, appearing in front of them.

Gui Xu, Instantaneous Movement!

Seeing Li Hao suddenly appear before him, the black-robed youth was clearly stunned. What was going on?

He hadn't seen any Dao Rhyme牽引. He knew that the instantaneous movement ability of Dao Heart Realm cultivators relied on Dao Rhyme牽引 and displacement. But here, he hadn't sensed anything.

Bang!

Before the black-robed youth could react, Li Hao's fist instantly blasted out, striking his face. In an instant, the fist shadow surged, unleashing hundreds of punches in a second.

The black-robed youth's head instantly exploded, blood splattered, and his horrified eyeballs flew out like bullets.

And the direct physical contact also triggered the Yellow Sparrow Diagram's attribute, a 1% chance of a fatal attack.

On the forty-plus punch, the attribute was triggered.

A soul-hooking force surged into his body. Although the black-robed youth's head had exploded, he reacted extremely quickly. His soul was about to control his headless body to erupt, but he suddenly felt a force like an abyss surge, capturing all his strength and vitality.

Then, it all dragged into the bottomless abyss.

All his strength was disappearing.

The black-robed youth was stunned, horrified, and hurriedly used his Reverse Fate power.

But the next moment, fifteen layers of Dao Domain overlapped and enveloped him, accelerating the destruction of his body and cutting off the Reverse Fate energy.

With a bang, the black-robed youth's body, undefended, was instantly shattered by the rules of the fifteen layers of Dao Domain.

All this happened in the blink of an eye. It looked like Li Hao had used instantaneous movement to approach, blasted his head with a punch, and then shattered his body.

The entire process, the black-robed youth hadn't had time to react, he was just stunned in place.

However, the purple-veined, graceful woman beside him was nearly scared out of her wits. The sneer on her face turned into horror, and she hurriedly used instantaneous movement to retreat.

Bang!

Li Hao's body disappeared in place, Gui Xu Instantaneous Movement, directly appearing behind her, unleashing another series of punches.

But this time, the purple-veined, graceful woman had already condensed Dao power to protect herself. Even with the combined power of fifteen layers of Dao Domain, it couldn't destroy this Dao power.

Li Hao immediately channeled a mouthful of immortal energy from within his body, condensing it on his fist. Soon, his fist directly pierced through the Dao power and smashed her head.

The purple-veined, graceful woman let out a painful cry, but the sound stopped abruptly with the explosion of her head.

The Yellow Sparrow Diagram attribute triggered, forcibly depriving her of her life.

Previously, in Qingzhou City, Li Hao had needed to expend a lot of effort to deal with their avatars. But now, with mastery of seven Dao Realms, the special states of each Dao Realm were extremely useful.

This Gui Xu Realm's instantaneous movement was extremely effective in close-quarters combat. Coupled with the Yellow Sparrow Diagram attribute, he could easily kill True Master Realm cultivators without needing to transform into an immortal.

Even Dao Law Realm cultivators, if they weren't prepared, could be assassinated with a surprise attack.

So far, Li Hao hadn't encountered anyone who could withstand the Yellow Sparrow Diagram's fatal attribute, including the Ji family's Saint Realm undead corpse.

After dealing with the two Wen Dao Realm demons, his divine sense quickly spread out, enveloping the entire city. Soon, Li Hao's face changed.

Whoosh!

The body of the purple-veined, graceful woman he was holding was automatically beginning to unravel and transform, revealing her massive original form. But at this moment, she was suddenly thrown from Li Hao's hand, shooting towards the Imperial Palace like a cannonball.

(End of Chapter)

Chapter 298: Heaven Cannot Govern the Affairs of This World (Two-in-One)

Within the Imperial Palace.

On the vast plaza outside the palace, the ground was littered with debris. The area where Li Mu Xiu and the others had been imprisoned had become a battlefield, with several large craters marring the surface.

At this moment, within one of the deep pits, an old Daoist, his robes torn, lay sprawled on the ground.

His hair was disheveled, his body covered in wounds.

The sharp sword that had slain countless demons for the Great Yu for millennia was now embedded in his chest, pinning him to the ground, unable to move.

His strength was completely depleted. His 108 major meridians and Yin-Yang meridians were shattered, his Heaven and Earth Meridians destroyed. He was on the verge of death, his eyes dull and lifeless, seemingly numb.

He was like a discarded toy, tossed into this deep pit. Before him, the aged figure in dragon robes was covered in blood. The blood seeping from his body had stained his entire robe crimson.

He was being held aloft by a young man, like a chicken or duck awaiting slaughter.

Emperor Yu's condition was no better than Qin Zhenren's. After Qin Zhenren's complete defeat, he had become the replacement, the "new toy" for these six young men and women.

His hands were broken and limp. His legs were severed by himself. The young man used his Daoist techniques to prevent his body from healing and tore apart his major meridians, destroying his Heaven and Earth Meridians, cutting off the flow of energy.

"Such a mediocre fellow can rule the human world."

"You were quite spirited earlier, refusing to kneel even when breaking your legs, weren't you? I like your rebellious nature."

"Now, let's change the game."

The young man in purple robes had narrow, phoenix-like eyes and a handsome face. His warm smile, however, sent a chill down the spines of everyone present.

"Now, kneel and kowtow to us. For each kowtow, I'll release one person. How does that sound?"

The purple-robed youth's lips curled into a playful smile.

Hearing this, Emperor Yu, whose eyelids drooped and whose body was devoid of resistance, his eyes, which still held a flicker of cold killing intent, involuntarily constricted.

The purple-robed youth's playful smile was like that of a devil.

"That's a great idea. Xuan Feng brother always knows how to have fun."

The stunningly beautiful woman's eyes sparkled as she giggled, covering her mouth.

The purple-robed youth smiled and said to Emperor Yu, "I assure you with my Daoist heart, I will keep my word."

"Your Majesty, no!"

"You beasts, you're going too far! I'll fight you!"

Among the crowd, many were shocked, angry, and resentful. An elderly royal general couldn't bear it any longer and roared, charging forward.

But his body was stopped mid-teleportation, his Daoist rhythm severed. His body hung suspended in mid-air. Before he could react, with a loud bang, his body exploded.

From his shattered flesh, a soul escaped, but before it could attack, it was crushed by an invisible force.

Li Mu Xiu, Xia Linglong, and the others turned pale, their hearts filled with grief and anger. This was the sixth person to die from acting out in anger.

These young men and women were like demons, toying with their dignity.

Emperor Yu, hearing the other party's words, didn't speak. He simply stared at him.

The purple-robed youth, seeing his gaze, seemed to be confirming something. The corner of his mouth rose, "I'll do as I said. You should have felt the trace of my Daoist heart by now. I won't damage my Daoist heart for the sake of your worthless lives."

Emperor Yu remained silent, slowly saying, "Then you must guarantee that not only you, but no one else will attack them. Spare them."

Hearing his words, the playful smile on the purple-robed youth's lips froze. His face slowly darkened.

The subtle implication in his words had been seen through by this old man.

Earlier, he had spoken only for himself, not for the others.

He could spare their lives, but if others attacked, it wouldn't be his concern.

His companions understood his unspoken intentions. They were waiting for the Emperor to kneel and then express their shock and despair when they still attacked and killed.

But the Emperor had seen through his plan.

"Hasn't anyone told you that being too smart can be a very bad thing?"

The purple-robed youth's gaze turned cold, "You could have lived a little longer, brought us some amusement, but you had to choose to die early!"

"Showing off your intelligence when you shouldn't is foolish!"

The power in his palm erupted, violently slamming Emperor Yu's body onto the ground.

The ground caved in, and Emperor Yu's blood splattered again. The speed of his bone marrow producing blood was extremely slow due to the Daoist restriction.

He lay on the ground, unable to even crawl up. With their abilities, they could easily torment his body, forcing him to kneel.

But his body couldn't resist, yet his will wouldn't submit.

"You bastards!"

Everyone else realized they had been tricked. They hadn't expected these people to be so insidious, deliberately playing with them.

An Empress angrily cursed, but before she could finish, one of the young men glanced at her. Without waiting for her reaction, her body exploded.

Blood splattered everywhere, the hot blood landing on Li Mu Xiu and the others like sparks, igniting their bloodlust and anger. They clenched their fists, their bodies trembling with rage, but ultimately, they gritted their teeth and endured.

They knew that no matter how angry or aggressive they became, it would only lead to their deaths.

Only by staying alive was there hope.

"It's no fun anymore, die."

The purple-robed youth approached Emperor Yu. Seeing the eyes that refused to yield, a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

He suddenly raised his foot, aiming to crush his head and burst his eyeballs!

Whoosh!

But suddenly, a sharp whistling sound echoed through the air.

With astonishing momentum, it tore through the sky from a hundred miles away, seemingly piercing through heaven and earth, soaring over the palace walls and crashing towards the purple-robed youth.

The purple-robed youth's eyes turned cold. He retracted his foot and swung his hand.

Bang!!

A force erupted from his palm, impacting the projectile-like demon corpse.

The corpse had partially revealed its original form, stretching for dozens of meters, like a small hill. It was charging rapidly, like a meteorite, with a powerful sense of oppression.

But with the force erupting from the purple-robed youth's palm, the corpse exploded, blood spraying everywhere, painting the sky crimson.

The five people in mid-air revealed their Daoist power, blocking the splattering blood, not a drop touching them.

Everywhere else, however, a bloody rain fell.

Bits of flesh and blood splattered, staining the plaza around the purple-robed youth crimson.

This sudden change stunned the grieving and despairing Li Mu Xiu and the others.

However, the first to react was the old Demon Sheep Venerable, standing silently at the edge of the battlefield, observing like an old servant.

He had heard the whistling sound and seen the rapidly approaching demon corpse. It was Zi Yue Ji's body!

How?

Demon Sheep Venerable froze, then quickly looked in that direction. He saw a young man's figure, having crossed a hundred miles, soaring over the ruined imperial city and arriving before the palace now controlled by them.

His eyes were icy cold, devoid of emotion, fixed on the purple-robed youth and the others in the battlefield. He didn't even glance at the only demon present, the Demon Sheep Venerable, standing beside the battlefield.

Demon Sheep Venerable was stunned, quickly regaining his senses, his eyes widening in shock.

Although this was his first time seeing Li Hao, the young man's extraordinary and unique aura could only belong to the youth he detested!

When did he arrive? He hadn't sensed his presence at all!

Zi Yue Ji and the others... how did they die?

Demon Sheep Venerable's divine sense quickly extended, and he immediately saw that, besides Zi Yue Ji, the Midnight Demon Emperor was also dead!

Two Hearing Dao Realm experts, and they hadn't made a sound before dying?

Demon Sheep Venerable was stunned, finding it unbelievable.

At this time, everyone on the plaza looked over. When they saw Li Hao's appearance, many were bewildered, clearly seeing him for the first time and not recognizing him.

But they reacted quickly. So young, with such a commanding presence. In the entire Great Yu Dynasty, there was only one person who fit the description.

The Haotian General!

Was it him?

Many were shocked. At such a perilous moment, he hadn't chosen to flee but had risked his life to come to their aid?

"Hao'er!"

Li Mu Xiu couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing Li Hao.

He hadn't expected Li Hao to actually come, but the current situation was a hundred times more dire than Qingzhou City. This time, it wasn't Peaceful Dao Realm demon kings but top-tier monsters at the Hearing Dao Realm!

Xia Linglong, Xia Yuan Wu, and the others were also stunned, then their faces changed drastically. They shouted,

"Go!"

"General Haotian, run!"

They had endured humiliation and resentment, clinging to hope.

That hope was Li Hao.

As long as Li Hao didn't die, he would surely reclaim the Great Yu in time.

Even if the land was devastated, it was better than being exterminated by demons.

But now, Li Hao had come.

Besides Xia Linglong and the others' anxious cries, the other royal members who realized Li Hao's identity also became nervous.

They had heard many legends about this young man. Although he was powerful, he was still too young, only sixteen years old. Even if he could rival Qin Zhenren, he was no match for these six individuals.

Moreover, these six had been relaxed and casual throughout, not using their full strength.

"Damn it, what are you doing here? Who told you to come? Go!"

Among the crowd, Li Tian Gang's face changed drastically when he saw Li Hao. He couldn't help but roar in anger and shock.

"Want to leave? You've come this far, it's too late to leave now."

"It seems an interesting fellow has arrived."

"Huh, my Purple Extreme Spiritual Eye divine ability can't see through his aura."

The five individuals in mid-air subtly shifted their positions, blocking Li Hao's escape route.

They were all observing Li Hao, their eyes filled with intense interest.

Li Hao ignored Xia Linglong and the others' anxious calls. Since arriving at the palace plaza, his gaze had been fixed on the blood-soaked old man.

The old man's hands and feet were broken, sprawled in a pool of blood on the ground.

Not long ago, he had been in the small courtyard, chatting and playing Go with him.

It had only been a short time...

Li Hao said softly, "Can you let them go?"

The purple-robed youth smiled, "Why should I? Because of you? It seems you haven't figured out the situat…"

Whoosh! Suddenly, Li Hao vanished from his sight!

Teleportation?

But no Daoist rhythm!

The purple-robed youth was slightly stunned, a sudden sense of foreboding and shock filling his heart.

At the same time, a terrifying fist force suddenly struck from the side of his body, its powerful momentum bending the air into an arc.

Bang!

Like a mountain being shaken, the violent fist slammed directly into the purple-robed youth's head. His Daoist power had only begun to circulate when the attack landed.

Flying Segment attribute triggered, attack distance doubled!

The fist had just risen, and the attack had already landed!

Blood splattered as the purple-robed youth's handsome face was instantly shattered by the punch, his brains exploding.

Li Hao's attack was like thunder. As soon as the first blow landed, he unleashed a flurry of punches.

The explosion of his head caused the purple-robed youth, who was accustomed to thinking with his brain, to hesitate for a moment. Li Hao's relentless barrage of punches landed on his unprotected, shattered skull.

This time, the attacks weren't heavy, but they were incredibly fast. With direct physical contact, the Yellow Sparrow Diagram's lethal attack attribute was triggered, unleashing a reaping force like the scythe of death.

The purple-robed youth's soul reacted, his demeanor shifting from composed elegance to furious rage. But before he could activate his divine ability, a terrifying shadow enveloped him.

The world before his eyes suddenly turned black.

What?

The purple-robed youth froze, then realized that his five senses had been stripped away, and his body was rapidly falling.

Bang bang bang!

Several of his life-saving Saint Heart treasures shattered.

But it didn't change anything. His body seemed to split, his senses fading as he plunged into the abyss.

"No..."

The soul, wrapped in Daoist techniques, shone like divine fire, but it quickly extinguished.

The headless corpse fell stiffly, its life force dissipating.

This scene was incredibly sudden, stunning Xia Linglong and the others, who had been anxiously calling out, as well as the five who had been observing Li Hao with interest.

The shouts seemed to be muted, abruptly ceasing. The plaza fell silent.

But in this silence, Li Hao's movements didn't stop. After killing the purple-robed youth, he instantly used Void Teleportation, rushing towards the nearest stunningly beautiful woman.

She had a face that could cause chaos, momentarily stunned, with a breathtaking beauty. But Li Hao showed no mercy. As he teleported closer, he unleashed another devastating punch.

Bang!

But this time, the fist hadn't even gotten close when it was blocked by a Daoist force in front of the woman's chest. A faint green light emanated from her clothing, seemingly a treasure providing defense.

In less than a tenth of a second, the woman reacted, her face changing drastically. She hurriedly tried to teleport away, creating distance.

Her teleportation wasn't Void Teleportation but a Daoist Heart Realm's Daoist rhythm manipulation. And Daoist rhythm leaves traces. The moment the rhythm appeared, Li Hao's fifteen-layered Dao Domain enveloped her.

The trace of Daoist rhythm was instantly blocked.

But the woman's reaction was incredibly fast. She roared, "Get lost!"

This wasn't a mere shout but contained the power of the "Words Become Reality" rule!

Li Hao's body actually felt an urge to curl up and roll backward.

But the fifteen-layered Dao Domain, though the rule's penetration was fast, still caused a slight delay and obstruction.

And in that brief delay, Li Hao's fist, with a concentrated breath of immortal energy, pierced through the Daoist force barrier and smashed into her head.

With a bang, the woman's stunning face exploded, her delicate nose and eyebrows torn apart, her head shattering.

But before Li Hao could strike again, two thunderous shouts of "镇" (镇 – suppress/镇压 – suppress/镇守 – garrison) echoed.

With a bang, the fifteen-layered Dao Domain was suddenly retracted, returning to Li Hao's body. At the same time, Li Hao's body plummeted, about to be suppressed onto the ground.

Li Hao hurriedly used Void Teleportation to shift to another location, trying to avoid it.

But the rule's power seemed to follow him like a shadow. As soon as he moved, it pursued him.

Bang!

The two forces impacted his body. The ground beneath him caved in, the earth cracking.

But Li Hao's body remained upright, radiating intense golden light, activating his Divine Power state. And the power of his Heaven and Earth Meridians converged, his breath of immortal energy transforming, drawing upon the power of heaven and earth, entering the Immortal Transformation state.

With eighty percent of his Immortal Transformation power, Li Hao was able to withstand the suppression, preventing himself from collapsing onto the ground.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. From Li Hao's attack that killed the purple-robed youth to the subsequent explosion of the stunning woman's head, it took less than a breath.

At this moment, the woman's shattered head quickly regenerated, a stunningly beautiful head reforming, but her face was filled with furious anger, her eyes glaring at Li Hao.

The other four, however, had serious expressions, intently watching Li Hao.

From their brief exchange, they immediately judged that the young man was incredibly powerful, his abilities more terrifying than Qin Zhenren's.

But their ages were vastly different.

They didn't care much about Qin Zhenren, an old Dao Law Realm cultivator, but Li Hao was clearly an incredibly monstrous existence.

"Be careful, he's mastered Void Teleportation!"

The young man in yellow and white robes, with a noble aura and eyes like an icy lake, said in a low voice.

Hearing his words, the other four's pupils constricted slightly, a hint of shock in their eyes.

Void Teleportation?

He had actually mastered this extreme Daoist technique? No wonder his teleportation earlier had been so strange and unpredictable.

Martial Arts Extreme Techniques, some are difficult, some are easy. For example, the limit of the United Strength Realm, the Divine Power Extreme Technique, is relatively easier. It only requires a deep foundation, abundant divine pills and treasures to temper the body, and a lot of time to cultivate body-tempering techniques to slowly accumulate a million units of physical strength, triggering the potential of the flesh to its extreme.

Simply put, with enough time and resources, plus a certain level of comprehension, most talented individuals can achieve it.

Void Teleportation, however, is more difficult. It's not easy to cultivate control techniques, requiring the cultivation of multiple top-tier control techniques, reflecting them against each other to fill in the gaps. It requires extremely high comprehension to achieve.

Among them, only the young man in yellow and white robes had mastered it.

Mastering this technique makes killing as easy as taking something from one's pocket, moving like a ghost, completely unpredictable.

Unless one knows in advance and constantly sets up defenses around their body, they won't be able to avoid a surprise attack.

As the five looked at each other with serious expressions, Li Hao's face also grew serious. This was the first time someone had directly revealed the power he used.

Did they have access to related information, or did they possess this ability themselves?

Li Hao secretly became vigilant.

He hadn't fought against someone who mastered Void Teleportation before, but he knew it was incredibly dangerous.

Because he couldn't prevent a sudden assassination either.

The scene fell silent for a moment. The people on the plaza, however, had regained their composure, their faces filled with astonishment.

If they weren't mistaken, Li Hao had gained the upper hand in their brief exchange!

And in a single encounter, he had killed the purple-robed youth!

Everyone looked at the headless corpse on the ground, motionless. Anyone could tell that the man was dead!

The individuals who had been so arrogant just moments ago, who could toy with Emperor Yu and easily kill Absolute Skill Realm cultivators with a single word, had been struck in the head and killed by Li Hao in a single encounter!

Not only had his head exploded, but his soul had also been crushed, a technique they couldn't understand!

And what they found even more incomprehensible was that they hadn't been able to anticipate Li Hao's surprise attack.

The Fourth Realm cultivators present realized that Li Hao's teleportation wasn't Daoist rhythm manipulation but a technique they had never seen before.

"Old Daoist, let me borrow your sword."

Li Hao glanced at the five, knowing that a fierce battle was about to begin. He spoke to the old Daoist in the pit.

Qin Zhenren's previously numb and dull eyes had shown signs of emotion since Li Hao's arrival. Now, seeing Li Hao strike down the purple-robed youth with a single punch, his shock turned into awe.

He understood better than anyone else how terrifying the purple-robed youth was. He had thought Li Hao's arrival was a suicide mission, but the young man had actually killed a Dao Law Realm cultivator with a flurry of punches?

"Feel free to borrow it, I'd be honored to give it to you."

Hearing Li Hao's words, he excitedly responded, though his voice was weak. Speaking caused him to wince in pain, coughing up two mouthfuls of blood.

Li Hao nodded slightly, then reached out and drew the sword from his chest, taking it into his hand.

This caused further injury to Qin Zhenren, but it was better than being pinned to the ground by the sword.

Li Hao held the sword, his aura seemingly changing slightly, his eyes becoming even colder.

He manipulated his control power, moving Emperor Yu's body behind him, preventing them from using the Emperor as a hostage during the ensuing danger.

"My child, didn't you receive the secret decree I sent to the Wang family?"

Emperor Yu struggled to get up from the ground, looking at Li Hao's figure, his eyes filled with a mixture of relief and complexity.

"Wang Family Head told me." Li Hao didn't turn around, his gaze fixed on the five in mid-air.

"Then why did you still come?" Emperor Yu chuckled wryly, "The situation here is worse than you imagine. They're all from the vast Sacred Lands within the Immortal Gate. They're far stronger than the Buddhist Master you encountered."

"I can see that."

Li Hao's eyes were serious.

Emperor Yu fell silent. From Li Hao's reaction, he could tell that the young man didn't have much confidence.

But he had still come.

"Being able to master Void Teleportation makes you a talent. I advise you not to be foolish. The Jiang family is doomed, and this place will be destroyed. Trying to resist us is defying heaven!"

The young man in yellow and white robes stared at Li Hao, his eyes narrowed, and said coldly.

"You don't represent heaven."

Li Hao swung the sword in his hand, seemingly gauging its weight, then slowly said,

"Besides, heaven cannot govern the affairs of this world!"

"Then you're seeking death!"

The young man in yellow and white robes suddenly said in a low voice, "Divine Ability, All Things Return to Origin!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Daoist techniques condensed, and a terrifying rule descended.

Li Hao instantly felt his fifteen-layered Dao Domain rapidly contracting, actually regressing and disappearing!

The fifteen-layered Dao Domain vanished in the blink of an eye.

Li Hao's pupils constricted. Although he had anticipated that this battle would be incredibly difficult, he hadn't expected it to be so strange.

Whoosh!

His body suddenly used Void Teleportation, launching a preemptive attack on the young man in yellow and white robes.

As his body disappeared, the young man in yellow and white robes also vanished, without any Daoist rhythm manipulation.

When they reappeared, their positions had swapped, and neither could sense the other's location.

(End of Chapter)

Chapter 299: Ultimate Immortal Transformation, Reincarnated Saint? (Two-in-One Chapter)

Return to the Void extreme state!

Li Hao's heart was filled with awe. The other party had accurately identified his ability, proving that they also mastered this Fifteen-Mile extreme state.

This battle had become even more difficult.

As he faced stronger and stronger opponents, ever since competing with the Wild Heaven prodigies and slaying the Buddha, the powerful individuals he encountered seemed to mostly possess one or two extreme state powers.

After all, those who could cultivate to the Great Peace Dao Realm, or even the Dao Comprehension Realm, were considered the best of the best, peerless prodigies.

Over time, with the accumulation of resources, it wasn't difficult to understand how they could develop several extreme states.

But this was the first time he had encountered someone who mastered the Return to the Void extreme state.

This meant that the other party likely mastered all the previous extreme states as well. Except for the Heavenly Dharma Avatar, which couldn't be cultivated again and required an extraordinary mind, he had to be wary of the other extreme states.

Li Hao no longer focused on the young man in yellow and white robes, leaving the most difficult one for last.

Whoosh!

His body suddenly teleported again, his movements unpredictable.

The moment his body disappeared, the other four changed color, their bodies instantly tensing. Almost simultaneously, their Dao Domains activated, enveloping themselves.

The Dao Domains of Dao Law Realm cultivators contained Dao Laws, their power stronger than the rules of the Great Peace Dao Realm. Laws could directly affect Dao power, easily killing True Person Realm cultivators.

Whoosh!

Li Hao's body, like a ghost, appeared within the Dao Domain of the beautiful woman whose head he had just smashed.

If it were Dao rhyme pulling teleportation, he could only teleport outside the Dao Domain. His own Dao rhyme couldn't extend into another's Dao Domain. But the Return to the Void teleportation was different; it was a pure spatial jump.

Even with the Dao Domain protection, Li Hao still teleported right in front of her.

Seeing Li Hao's face, the beautiful woman's face turned pale.

She hadn't expected Li Hao to target her again among the four. It seemed he was determined to kill her before he would stop.

However, the moment Li Hao appeared, the laws within her Dao Domain acted upon him. A terrifying force restrained his body, his limbs seemingly locked.

Confinement Law!

Under the influence of this law, Li Hao's body was restrained. But almost simultaneously, his internal power erupted, using the brute force of Immortal Transformation to forcefully swing his sword. This sword was unaffected by the Dao Domain laws, striking towards the beautiful and alluring head.

The beautiful woman's eyes narrowed, filled with fear and anger.

Fortunately, Li Hao had a brief pause when he teleported, giving her time to react. The moment the sword light struck, her Dao power had hastily risen.

Pfft!

Blood splattered, a beautiful head flew off, her eyes filled with disbelief.

The sword in Li Hao's hand cut through her Dao power without any obstruction, ignoring its resistance.

Dao power couldn't be destroyed, but it could deform. At this moment, it deformed under the pressure of the sword, creating a gap for the sword to strike.

Li Hao hadn't expected the sword to be so powerful. As expected of the old expert's treasured weapon, it must be the strongest weapon in the Great Yu Divine Dynasty.

Whoosh!

After striking, he teleported again, disappearing.

The moment he retreated, the young man in yellow and white robes suddenly appeared where Li Hao had just been, holding a long spear, stabbing at empty air!

Li Hao retreated outside the Dao Domain, his face slightly gloomy.

He saw that the beautiful woman's head, though severed, hadn't died, and her Dao Domain was still maintained.

The Return to the Void ability was strong in the initial confrontation, a surprise assassination, almost guaranteed to succeed. After all, no one would keep their Dao Domain activated all the time for protection.

But now, they were prepared, with Dao Domains suppressing him, not giving him a chance to strike a second time. It would be difficult to succeed again like he had with the purple-robed young man.

This was also due to his own cultivation being only at the Great Peace Dao Realm. The difference in realm was too great. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't even have a chance to get close to them.

"Ah, ah, ah, you're making me so angry!"

At that moment, the beautiful woman's head floated in her Dao Domain, letting out a furious scream.

Twice in a row, her head had been destroyed by a mere human cultivator. It was a great humiliation!

Fortunately, the moment her head was severed, she had retracted her soul. Now, she controlled her soul, reattaching her head to her neck. With a swipe, the flesh healed like stitching, the flesh at the connection point wriggled, becoming seamless, without even a scar.

"Damn it!"

"Brother Mu, help me kill him!"

The beautiful woman shouted angrily.

As she spoke, she quickly activated her Sacred Heart Treasure, in case Li Hao attacked again and made her look foolish.

"It seems his method of killing Xuan Feng just now won't work every time."

"Be careful, use your Dao Domains to block him. I've already suppressed his Dao Domain. If he gets close to you, he'll definitely be affected by your Dao Domain laws."

The young man in yellow and white robes remained calm throughout. Li Hao's bizarre killing move, which had even prevented Xuan Feng's primordial spirit from escaping, was terrifying.

But after two failed attempts, he realized that there seemed to be some kind of limitation to that bizarre killing move.

He couldn't tell what the limitation was, but he could only try to avoid being attacked consecutively by Li Hao.

"You guard your own positions, I'll play with him."

Vast and restrained Dao power surged from his body. Standing in mid-air, he was like an insurmountable mountain, exuding an aura that seemed to cover the heavens and earth.

Li Hao's eyes were cold, and he didn't speak.

The World's Veins were quietly transforming energy, pushing Immortal Transformation to a higher level.

He knew that he had to cherish every opportunity to strike, aiming for a kill every time. If he couldn't reduce their numbers quickly, he would face danger.

Whoosh!

Almost instantly, Li Hao and the young man in yellow and white robes teleported simultaneously, disappearing.

No one knew where the other had appeared, but Li Hao didn't try to guess. Instead, he appeared in another part of the void.

The young man in yellow and white robes appeared where Li Hao had just disappeared. The two stared at each other, unable to lock onto each other's positions, relying only on their reactions.

Whoosh!

The moment Li Hao appeared, he disappeared again, reappearing in another part of the void. This time, the young man in yellow and white robes seemed to intentionally pause for a moment. The moment Li Hao reappeared, he vanished.

He was blocking Li Hao's teleportation, locking onto him.

But Li Hao, who had just appeared, didn't panic. The moment he appeared, as if anticipating it, he suddenly swung his sword towards his back.

The sword light was dazzling, cutting through space. With a "pfft," the young man in yellow and white robes, who had just appeared and was about to strike with his spear, was struck on the head by the sword light as he teleported.

His Dao Domain covered his entire body, but before it could have any effect, his head was cleaved in half by the sword!

Blood splattered, and a look of shock appeared on the young man's split head.

Then, his body suddenly disappeared, reappearing in the distance.

The split head was rapidly healing. But the moment he appeared, Li Hao's body teleported again, this time, Li Hao was blocking his teleportation.

"Seeking death!"

The young man in yellow and white robes' eyes were terrifyingly gloomy. In their first encounter, he had been caught off guard. He thought he had anticipated the other's anticipation, but it turned out that the other had anticipated his anticipation of the other's anticipation!

However, now, the other party was counterattacking. His mind raced, and he retaliated.

His Dao Domain extended, a hidden divine ability attack, ready to be triggered the moment Li Hao appeared near his body.

Boom!

But this time, Li Hao appeared not beside the young man in yellow and white robes, not pursuing his victory, but unexpectedly appearing behind the beautiful woman.

The sword light instantly struck her neck, but a golden lightning bolt suddenly flashed, blocking the edge of the sword. Within the lightning bolt was a mountain the size of a fingernail.

It was more like a pebble, condensed with immense lightning power.

At this moment, the sword struck, splitting the lightning bolt into ten thousand electric arcs, illuminating the entire square outside the Imperial Palace in gold.

The next moment, the golden lightning bolt exploded, and the sword light cut through the beautiful woman's jade neck again, severing her head.

The head, thrown into the air, was filled with astonishment. She hadn't expected Li Hao to not pursue the injured Brother Mu but to still choose to attack her!

Her head was severed for the third time!

Are you crazy?!

The beautiful woman was so angry that she spat blood. She wanted to curse, but Li Hao's second and third consecutive sword strikes landed.

"Confinement!"

She quickly activated her Dao Domain, using the Confinement Law to restrain Li Hao's body.

Within the Dao Domain, the power of the laws she controlled was even more terrifying, ten times stronger than outside the Dao Domain.

Li Hao instantly felt a terrifying pressure enveloping his entire body, his face changing drastically. He wanted to strike again, but it was too late. He could only teleport to avoid it.

"Damn it!"

The beautiful woman was going crazy.

Out of so many people, he was only targeting her. They had never met before, yet it was as if he had a deep grudge against her. She was a beauty who could bring disaster, yet he didn't show any mercy!

Was he treating her like a soft persimmon?

Seeing this, the other three quickly gathered around her, no longer trying to block Li Hao's retreat.

With the Return to the Void teleportation, if Li Hao wanted to leave, it would be difficult for them to stop him.

"You!"

The young man in yellow and white robes saw Li Hao's actions, and a hint of anger appeared in his gloomy eyes. The other's attacks were unpredictable, even a bit against human nature. He had miscalculated repeatedly.

Li Hao's sword hadn't killed the woman, and he was also very uncomfortable. With the cooperation of the Fatal attribute, reducing his attack power and increasing his attack speed was the optimal choice. But if his power was too weak, he would immediately be suppressed by the Dao Domain. It would be difficult to swing his sword wildly again within the other's Dao Domain.

However, it was just a test.

The World's Veins were still accumulating power. At this moment, it finally reached its limit.

One Hundred Percent Immortal Transformation!

Li Hao's eyes were filled with dark silver, as if containing endless radiance. His flesh was seeping blood, the tearing of Immortal Transformation and the terrifying healing of dripping blood regeneration were balanced.

But one hundred percent Immortal Transformation and Immortal Transformation were completely different powers.

Vast world power permeated his entire body. At this moment, he himself was the world, able to mobilize unimaginable power. A trace of pure immortal energy condensed under his control.

This trace of immortal divine power could easily sever Dao power, like the sharpest blade.

Li Hao took a deep breath. The intense tearing pain throughout his body was something he had long grown accustomed to. His eyes were cold and emotionless.

Whoosh!

The young man in yellow and white robes suddenly teleported towards him. But this time, as the other party stepped into the Return to the Void to teleport, Li Hao faintly perceived a trace.

The Heavenly Man extreme state seemed to have a counter effect against the Fifteen-Mile extreme state.

Whoosh!

Li Hao didn't choose to teleport but suddenly swung his sword from his original position.

This sword was infused with immortal divine power, dazzling to the extreme.

The young man in yellow and white robes, who had just appeared in front of Li Hao, wanted to catch him off guard and didn't choose to attack from another direction.

After all, facing such an elusive opponent, it was likely that his attention would be more focused on other positions than in front of him.

But the moment he appeared, he faced the same situation as before, like actively walking into Li Hao's sword to receive it.

And this time, the trace of power emanating from the sword light made his hairs stand on end, giving him a sense of foreboding and a smell of death.

How is this possible?!

The young man in yellow and white robes' pupils constricted rapidly, his eyes filled with disbelief. He wanted to block with his spear, but Li Hao's attack was already in place. The moment he appeared, he was struck by the sword light.

With a "pfft," the young man in yellow and white robes was cleaved in half from the top of his head!

Blood gushed out, and a Sacred Heart Treasure on his body shattered, its laws severed by the sharp immortal divine power on the edge of the sword.

"Brother Mu!"

The beautiful woman was healing her head, and when she saw this, her newly attached head let out a scream.

The other three were also stunned. They hadn't expected Brother Mu to fail again. It was unbelievable.

Li Hao didn't stop. This time, the sword light contained immortal divine power, cleaving through the other's Dao Domain laws, giving him another chance to strike.

Whoosh!

The other's split body suddenly teleported away.

But Li Hao had caught a trace of his tearing through the Return to the Void. Now that he was in Ultimate Immortal Transformation, his body had merged with the world, and he could perceive every subtle change in the surrounding world. This was a delicate perception that transcended the Dao Domain.

The moment the other appeared, Li Hao teleported to follow, his sword light slashing furiously.

"Impossible!"

The split young man in yellow and white robes hadn't died. His severely injured primordial spirit was supporting him. Seeing Li Hao chasing after him again, accurately guessing his teleportation location, he was horrified.

If he had attacked Li Hao and been outsmarted, that was a matter of intelligence, and he accepted it.

But now, with the vast expanse of the world, he could teleport to any random location, making it impossible to guess, yet he was still caught. This could only mean that the other party could see the traces of his Return to the Void teleportation!

But how is this possible?!

He had never heard of such a thing. Unless the young man in front of him was an all-powerful Saint.

"Divine Ability, Snow Realm!"

The young man in yellow and white robes roared with anger, no longer bothering to use Li Hao as a sparring partner.

He saw countless snowflakes suddenly appear in his Dao Domain. He had comprehended the Extreme Cold Dao. He had practiced swordsmanship on snowy mountains for sixty years, and his spear technique had merged with the snowy mountains, comprehending the Extreme Cold power of the Dao behind the snowy landscape.

As the divine ability erupted, countless snowflake laws covered Li Hao's body.

At the same time, Li Hao's body felt like it was melting, about to turn into snow.

Boom!

Countless snowflakes surged, wrapping around the sword light, blocking Li Hao's strike.

Each snowflake was a law. Countless snowflakes swirled, shattering the sword qi.

Li Hao felt his body become sluggish, his consciousness and thoughts seemed to slow down, freezing. His internal power was also being solidified.

He was currently transforming into the world. This situation meant that the surrounding world was being affected.

Was this the power of a divine ability? It was terrifying beyond Li Hao's imagination!

Just like the technique that had caused his Dao Domain to regress earlier.

Boom!

The moment he delayed Li Hao's attack, the young man in yellow and white robes roared furiously, unleashing his Undying power. His body suddenly fused rapidly, and the moment it closed, he stabbed out with his spear.

Li Hao quickly withdrew and teleported away, turning to attack another person.

"Quickly, use Dao Laws to suppress him, kill him!"

The young man in yellow and white robes roared, realizing that it was impossible to toy with Li Hao at will. He had almost been capsized in a ditch, and he had even smelled death.

The other four saw that the strongest Brother Mu had been severely injured and frustrated, and they were shocked. Without waiting for him to speak, they joined forces.

"Suppress!"

"Seal!"

"Thunder Pool!"

As they unleashed their Dao Laws, the void solidified, and the power of the laws suddenly entangled Li Hao, attempting to crush his body.

It felt like when the Buddha had broken through to the Dao Law Realm and used a single word to crush Li Hao's body.

But now, Li Hao was in Ultimate Immortal Transformation. Although the crushing force was strong, it couldn't harm him.

Unless the other party could strip away and destroy this world.

But clearly, Dao Law Realm cultivators didn't have that kind of power yet.

Despite this, Li Hao felt extremely uncomfortable. His body was restricted, his movements like sinking in a swamp. He teleported to the side of the young man with the half-mask.

The moment he appeared within the other's Dao Domain, Li Hao's body felt a numbing sensation, like being touched by terrifying lightning.

Before he could swing his sword, countless thunders were already rushing towards him.

The laws within his Dao Domain contained lightning, and they were incredibly fast. Li Hao's entire body was covered in electric arcs, causing severe damage.

But Li Hao's sword light had already pierced through his body, severing his head as well.

At the same time, countless electric arcs appeared in the young man's Dao Domain, forming a Thunder Pool.

Even in the Ultimate Immortal Transformation state, Li Hao felt like he couldn't withstand it. His entire body was covered in blood and char.

He teleported back, the balance between the tearing of Ultimate Immortal Transformation and the healing of dripping blood regeneration was broken, and his body felt like it was collapsing.

Li Hao quickly adjusted, stabilizing his injuries.

The young man in yellow and white robes took advantage of this opportunity to catch his breath. His body had healed, and his surroundings were filled with bizarre phenomena, a scene of extreme cold.

The young man with the half-mask was surrounded by a thunder prison, like the king of lightning bathed in thunder light.

The five of them looked solemn, finally putting away their arrogance and preparing to seriously kill Li Hao, no longer holding back.

"He doesn't seem to be a Dao Comprehension Realm cultivator, just a Great Peace Dao Realm cultivator. Form a formation, use Dao Laws to directly kill him!"

The young man in yellow and white robes' eyes were terrifyingly cold. Even in the Land of Saints, he hadn't suffered such a defeat in a long time. To be almost severely injured, even killed, in the kingdom on the edge of this continent was unimaginable.

The four of them slightly narrowed their eyes, shock appearing in their eyes, but they quickly reacted.

Indeed, the aura Li Hao had displayed when he attacked wasn't that of a Dao Comprehension Realm cultivator. Unless Li Hao had the extra energy to disguise himself while attacking with all his might, but that would be pointless.

But if he was truly just a Great Peace Dao Realm cultivator, how was this possible?!

The five of them were all prodigies, their cultivation paths were extraordinary. They had often defeated their enemies against the odds, but after entering the Fourth Stage and the Dao Comprehension Realm, this happened less often.

Especially after the Absolute Realm, the abilities of each minor realm were a qualitative leap, let alone crossing a major realm like the Dao Comprehension Realm.

"Could he be a reincarnated Saint?"

The five of them stared at Li Hao, their eyes filled with coldness.

A Great Peace Dao Realm cultivator possessing such terrifying abilities could only be a reincarnated Saint. Ordinary people couldn't cultivate such abilities.

"Either a Saint's incarnation or a reincarnated Saint. If it's just an incarnation, his true body should have already sensed it and attacked us. He can only be a reincarnated Saint."

The young man with the half-mask's eyes were cold, filled with killing intent.

Slaying a reincarnated Saint seemed like a pretty good thing to do.

After all, once they killed him, even if he was reincarnated again, he would forget these memories.

Even if he returned to the Saint Realm and remembered, they should have already entered the Saint Realm by then.

Moreover, once they formed a grudge, it would be a life-and-death feud. Letting him go now would only create a grudge. Once they offended him, they would have to eliminate him completely!

"You're very strong, but unfortunately, you haven't reached the Dao Comprehension Realm yet. With your talent, reaching the Dao Comprehension Realm shouldn't be difficult. Are you looking for a breakthrough?"

The young man in yellow and white robes stared at Li Hao below. Reincarnated Saints, for the most part, were trying to make up for their unstable foundation, missing extreme states, or incomplete Saint Dao.

This also meant that ordinary breakthroughs were nothing to them. But finding a higher direction was not easy.

Therefore, most reincarnated Saints were incredibly monstrous at the same realm, terrifying beings.

Hearing the young man in yellow and white robes' words, Li Mu Xiu and the other powerful individuals and royal family members who were being detained were stunned, then looked at the young man's back in awe.

Great Peace Dao Realm?

This Hao Tian General was actually only a Great Peace Dao Realm cultivator?!

They all felt incredible.

That was a top-tier combat force in the Great Yu Divine Dynasty, but compared to the Dao Comprehension Realm, it was far, far too weak.

Even the Dao Law Realm Qin Zhen Ren had been crushed and defeated, let alone a Great Peace Dao Realm cultivator.

They also had a hidden Great Peace Dao Realm cultivator among them, an old expert who guarded the Dao Scripture Pavilion in the Qian Dao Palace, also a former direct disciple of Qin Zhen Ren.

But when he unleashed his Dao Domain and hadn't even gotten close to the six demons, he was crushed by a single word, his flesh exploding, not even a single piece left intact.

"Great Peace Dao Realm? He's actually only a Great Peace Dao Realm cultivator?"

"Didn't he just kill that Dao Law Realm guy? He's only a Great Peace Dao Realm cultivator?!"

"This, this..."

Everyone was shocked. Just a Great Peace Dao Realm cultivator, he actually came to reinforce them, facing six Dao Law Realm cultivators alone?!

And he had even killed one!

"He's only a Great Peace Dao Realm cultivator?"

Xia Linglong and the others were also stunned. The Buddha had been killed, and they knew the truth. They thought Li Hao had already entered the Dao Comprehension Realm, and the gap between him and these six wasn't that big.

It turned out that Li Hao was only a Great Peace Dao Realm cultivator.

That was a gap of a whole major realm!

Qin Zhen Ren and Emperor Yu were also stunned. They had also sensed Li Hao's aura, and it was indeed the Great Peace Dao Realm, not the Dao Comprehension Realm. They thought he was disguising himself, but after the other party said it, they had a moment of realization.

Yes, at this point, it was pointless to hide.

That could only mean that Li Hao was indeed at this realm.

"Child, if you can't handle it, just run. As long as you're alive, as long as you're alive..."

Emperor Yu hurriedly transmitted a voice message to Li Hao.

His eyes showed reluctance. How difficult it would be for a Great Peace Dao Realm cultivator to block the attacks of five Dao Law Realm cultivators in front of him!

Li Hao didn't answer. He couldn't be distracted.

Whoosh!

He suddenly teleported, attacking the other party again.

But this time, the five of them were prepared. They no longer held back, their Dao Domains merging with each other.

Boom!

The moment Li Hao teleported into the beautiful woman's Dao Domain, he felt a wave of terrifying killing intent instantly rushing towards him.

Extreme Cold freezing, confinement, wind splitting, thunder descending, and other techniques.

Their Dao Domains combined, five layers stacked. The moment Li Hao appeared, he was severely injured, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

At the same time, the young man in yellow and white robes teleported over the moment Li Hao was injured, stabbing out with his spear, as if projecting endless Extreme Cold power.

This spear technique, he had used it when he left the snowy mountains, piercing through the entire mountain and triggering a massive avalanche.

Now, this spear pierced straight through Li Hao's chest.

Whoosh!

Li Hao's body suddenly teleported away, retreating from their five-layered Dao Domain.

A bowl-sized hole appeared in his chest, and the cold air emanating from the hole was terrifying, spreading outwards and freezing everything.

Li Hao coughed up a mouthful of blood, quickly wiping it away, and while enduring the intense pain, he quickly regulated his breath and healed his injuries.

"Since you're a reincarnated body, just cultivate in secret here, why provoke us? You're simply seeking death!"

The young man with the half-mask sneered.

"Kill him, I want to tear him apart! Tear them all apart!"

Cold killing intent surged in the beautiful woman's eyes. They didn't choose to fight Li Hao in close combat. With the Return to the Void extreme state, close combat was a bit of a rogue tactic. Instead, they chose to unleash Dao Laws together.

"Divine Ability, Empty Eyes!"

Another young man also made his move, silently, directly unleashing a divine ability attack.

This divine ability law could shatter everything within his sight into nothingness.

The terrifying law enveloped Li Hao, and his body, comparable to a Sacred Heart Treasure, felt like it was tearing apart, unable to withstand it.

His flesh didn't have Dao power to support it, only the energy transformed from a breath of immortal energy. In the face of this law, it was like using a straw to support a giant rock, requiring an immense amount.

If it weren't for Ultimate Immortal Transformation, allowing him to spend this power freely, Li Hao wouldn't even have the qualifications to fight them.

Whoosh!

Li Hao quickly teleported away, his face gloomy, constantly thinking of ways to win.

Their Dao Domains were combined, and his Return to the Void teleportation was also restricted. He couldn't get close at all.

He had only killed one person. If he could kill two or three, there would still be hope, but these people were all prodigies, their reactions were too fast.

Li Hao's body teleported repeatedly, dodging the Dao Law locks.

Seeing Li Hao flickering and dodging like an eel, the five of them were also annoyed. He could sense the extension of the laws, which was too exaggerated.

Words becoming laws, the attack speed of the laws was almost instantaneous, but even so, Li Hao dodged them, which was simply abnormal.

"You can run, but what about them?"

The young man in yellow and white robes' eyes were cold. He didn't attack Li Hao but suddenly turned to Li Mu Xiu and the others who were being detained.

"Die!"

The moment he uttered the word, a royal princess in luxurious attire instantly exploded.

Without warning, even she herself didn't feel anything unusual.

This one-word killing technique not only destroyed her flesh but also her soul.

Li Hao's face changed slightly.

But the young man in yellow and white robes sneered, not stopping. He pointed at another person, "Die!"

The prince's face turned pale, but he turned to Emperor Yu, "Father, your son..."

Boom! His body exploded.

Emperor Yu's body trembled slightly, but he looked at Li Hao, "Run, don't worry about us!"

Li Hao had just teleported to attack, but he was directly severely injured. He had already realized that the five of them combined, Li Hao was no match for them.

Let alone a Great Peace Dao Realm cultivator, even a Dao Law Realm cultivator would find it difficult. After all, these were people who had come down from the Immortal Gates, mastering Dao Laws and divine abilities, their power far surpassing the Dao Law Realm cultivators of the human world.

Qin Zhen Ren had the inheritance of the Jiang family and also mastered two divine abilities, but he was still crushed in front of the six of them. Imagine the gap.

"Hao'er, run!"

Li Mu Xiu also desperately said. He clenched his fists, wanting to try the special state of the Invincible Fist to see if he could help Li Hao.

"Run, what are you still standing there for? Why are you always so disobedient!!"

Li Tian Gang roared furiously.

"Divine General Hao Tian, don't worry about us, you go!"

The others also cried out in despair. It was already incredibly difficult for Li Hao to come to reinforce them as a Great Peace Dao Realm cultivator.

With the power Li Hao had displayed, he couldn't have failed to sense the situation here before entering this battlefield. Yet, he still appeared and attacked.

For a Great Peace Dao Realm cultivator to withstand six Dao Law Realm cultivators, how difficult, how impossible!

"Shut up, all of you, die!"

The young man with the half-mask frowned, suddenly raising his hand. A palm strike slammed down, surrounded by dazzling lightning bolts, like a hand formed of thunder.
