“Hao Er, what, what are you saying?”
Li Xiaoran felt a jolt through his body when he heard Li Hao’s murmur, immediately followed by the sight of the surrounding power converging, crazily pressing toward Li Hao’s body.
That power coalesced into a storm, isolating him, and the mere gathering of force made it feel impossible for him to approach.
In the center of this vortex of power, Li Hao’s body shone with a brilliant golden light, and his hair, previously restored to a lustrous black, once again turned silvery-white, strand by strand.
From black to snow-white, it seemed as if his life force was fading too.
Li Xiaoran was stunned, feeling as if the blood in his body had frozen. He guessed what Li Hao was about to do.
His mouth slightly agape, he wanted to call out to stop him, but he couldn’t utter a single word when it came to his lips.
Was there any other hope?
No.
He couldn’t help shedding tears, never having imagined that after years of effort with no hope, in the end, a child would have to gamble with his life!
He looked at Li Tianzong approaching like a Demon God and said in grief, “Big brother, please wake up, your grandson has come to take you back!”
Boom!
In response was Li Tianzong’s suddenly lifted fist, like a black meteor shrouded in thick smoke, smashing wildly toward the two of them.
Meanwhile, the surrounding Demons surged forth like a tide, clearly about to be affected by the fist’s power, yet still insanely charging toward them.
Li Xiaoran immediately understood that the current situation was influenced by the Mo River. They were facing not the Demons, nor Li Tianzong, but the Mo River itself!
The Mo River sought to use the numerous Demons and Li Tianzong’s hand to leave them, the living, behind as companions for the deceased in eternal slumber!
Under the roar of the fist force, there was a dazzling green sword light that forcibly halted the gigantic fist in its tracks.
But it paused only briefly before smashing down directly again.
Surrounded by an aura, Li Hao entered a Divine Power state, his Red Gold colored body also began to crumble at this moment, his transformation into an immortal already exceeding the critical threshold of eighty percent.
Still, his aura continued to climb, giving the sensation of charging toward the Abyss of Death.
However, Li Hao’s expression calmed down at this moment, and the Green Frost Sword in his hand whistled out a piercing screech, slashing again at that fist.
The sword spirit within the blade wailed, emitting piercing roars, and finally managed to bounce that hand away.
Li Tianzong’s body paused, his eyes redder than blood, and he growled, “All soldiers, follow me to kill, to break out!”
He seemed to mistake this place for the battlefield of Dragon City from long ago, viewing Li Hao in front of him as a Demon, leading all the soldiers to overcome this deadly barrier.
Li Hao said nothing. The Green Frost Sword, fluttering in mid-air like cracking ice, released a vast river of Sword Qi that swept around and protected Li Xiaoran’s body within, slashing at the Demons and transformed soldiers.
Perhaps the real way to pass through the Mo River was to assist Dragon City in a desperate fight against the Demons during the ten-day siege, ensuring that the Array would not break, letting the soldiers of Dragon City also be reduced to almost nothing. Then, during this transmutation stage, there would finally be a chance to survive by oneself, solving everything.
This was valuable intelligence, but whether it could be brought out was another matter.
The river of Sword Qi cleared the Demons around Li Xiaoran, Li Hao looked toward Li Tianzong, who was already unfolding his Dao Domain to kill.
“Fourth Elder, take care of yourself. Try to live on. I’ll see if I can fight for a chance at life for you!”
Li Hao murmured quietly.
This was also to repay the kindness Li Xiaoran had shown when he helped outside the Mo River.
The chance at life he planned to fight for was to defeat Li Tianzong, to kill all the Demons. That way, when the Mo River ended, Li Xiaoran would be able to leave.
But to achieve that, he had to reach the limit of transforming into an immortal, to have a sliver of hope.
Li Hao had no confidence in himself.
As he spoke, he soared into the sky, seemingly gathering all the momentum of the heavens and the earth, and with a fierce punch, he aimed to halt Li Tianzong’s body, blocking the battlefield ahead to avoid affecting Li Xiaoran.
Boom!!
Li Tianzong too lifted his fist and howled down, as if heaven and earth had collided, the terrifying shockwave knocked unconscious or killed all the Demons within dozens of miles.
Li Hao’s body was rapidly crumbling, yet also rapidly regenerating and healing, bathed in blood, like a figure made of blood.
Li Tianzong’s Dao Domain unfolded, his will opening and extending instantly to four or five miles, enveloping Li Hao’s body within, not even allowing a chance to escape. This was the true speed of the Grand Tao of Peace Realm’s Dao Domain.
At this moment, many types of regulations appeared within the Dao Domain, not just one. It included regulations controlled by other Demon Kings from the Ping Tao Realm, and now they were all superimposed and merged together.
The pressure of several regulations came crashing down, causing Li Hao’s body to rapidly disintegrate, like being unravelled and peeled.
But luckily, his body reached the strength of the Nine Cast Divine Soldier, barely able to sustain for a breath’s time.
Utilizing this brief moment, Li Hao’s movement technique shifted, bringing many movement techniques to their limit, escaping the confines of the Dao Domain almost like teleportation.
Just exiting the Dao Domain, the speed of his disintegration slowed down.
However, Li Tianzong seemed to have set his sights on Li Hao, and pursued him with stride as large as a comet.
As Li Hao backed away, he also ascended quickly, increasing the distance, drawing even more Power of Heaven and Earth.

His body once again tore apart, deteriorating, as if it would disperse.
When transformation into an immortal surpassed ninety percent, Li Hao’s skin had burst open, his flesh exposed, resembling a figure crawling out of a blood pool, horrendously ghastly.
Yet Li Hao’s absorption did not stop, continuing to push toward that limit.
The power between Heaven and Earth pressed down even more wildly, by this point uncontrollable, and everything rushed toward that destructive limit.
