Outside the arena, Ji Yufen stood amid the crowd, his eyes shocked and vacant.
Both at the Three Immortal Realms, yet the youth in the arena was luminous like the brightest rays, while he stood in the crowd, dull as the darkest night, unwatched.
How could the gap be so vast?!
Divine Power, he actually cultivated Divine Power, and he’s just a half-breed!
Ji Yufen’s heart was roaring with disbelief, shaken to its core, feeling a sense of despair. Compared with that youth, did he truly count as a chosen one?
Thinking back to what the War God of the Ji Tian Chao had said, if one were truly a chosen one, how could they be defeated?!
And at that moment, the youth was like an undefeated legend, standing tall inside the arena.
The chosen ones in mid-air could feel the terrifying momentum built by the youth’s consecutive victories. To break it, they must attack with the ferocity of thunder!
The defeat of Ji Rufeng and the Red Gold aura of Divine Power exuding from the youth made them realize they must no longer take him lightly.
“Since you said it, don’t blame us for being impolite!”
A young man shaking a folding fan in his hand closed the fan and exchanged glances with several others before descending into the arena.
Experience exclusive tales on empire
“Family head, he asked for this himself, so it can’t be said that we broke the rules,” the young man said to Ji Daoxin with a bow.
Ji Daoxin looked at Li Hao and sensed that although the youth’s gaze was domineering, it was very calm, and not truly arrogant.
Was it because he couldn’t wait even a single day to free his mother?
To fight a quick battle and clear the field in one go?
Ji Daoxin’s eyes flickered and thoughts passed through his mind in an instant. He nodded, “Since he wishes it, then there’s no harm.”
“Good!”
Seeing Ji Daoxin’s permission, the young man with the fan materialized a spear in his hand and with cold eyes said to Li Hao, “Although it’s somewhat shameful to gang up and defeat you, this is what you asked for!”
“It’s your own fault for being too arrogant!” another youth said.
“Come on!”
Li Hao’s eyes were frigid. Below the Tao Realm, fighting them all at once actually conserved his strength, which is why he suggested it.
At that moment, four chose to strike together. As soon as Li Hao finished speaking, they quickly scattered, each moving swiftly toward him from different directions.
Li Hao, revealing his state of Divine Power, left them with no thoughts of holding back – their attacks were like thunderous strikes.
Being a group attack, if they found themselves entangled in a fight, even a victory would be ridiculed. Only with the force of thunder could they crush him in one move!
“Die!!”
The four acted in unison, using their Peerless Techniques that surged like an ocean in tumult, fracturing the ground of the entire arena. Their bodies erupted with Red Gold divine light, clearly all mastering the state of Divine Power.
Like four golden deities, they besieged the youth in the middle of the arena.
Boom!
A terrible explosion resounded, and many concentrated their Divine Souls atop their heads, straining to watch the fight within the arena.
They saw dazzling divine light burst forth, and Li Hao’s body charging through the attacks. With a punch, he smashed the shoulder of the youth with the spear, shattering it!
Then, grasping the spear, he spun around to kick, his divine leg as mighty as an elephant’s stomp, emitting a piercing sonic boom as he knocked the youth flying, and his divine spear fell from his grasp.
Simultaneously, as two blade lights descended upon him, Li Hao parried one away with a backhanded spear strike while his spear thrust pierced through the heart and lungs of another youth, launching his body to land in a deep crater far away on the arena.
But the other blade light managed to slash directly upon Li Hao’s head.
“Le Ping!!”
Ji Tian Chao, Ji Yun Yue, and the others were extremely startled.
Although reaching the Three Immortal Realms meant not dying even if their heads were shattered, as the Divine Soul would persist, body refinement was extremely difficult. If one’s head was severed, and the body died, they couldn’t rely on self-healing to mend themselves.
Everyone else was also shocked; was the youth about to be finished?
The Divine Power embodied through hard cultivation, was it going to be wasted?
All of this happened in the blink of an eye; the audience’s thoughts had not yet finished processing when a sonorous clash of divine fire friction sounded.
Upon seeing what happened, everyone’s eyes nearly popped out, their jaws dropping in astonishment.
The divine blade, containing destructive power, struck Li Hao’s head only to emit a resounding clash!
His head seemed to be crafted from divine metal; aside from a few strands of cut hair, not even his scalp was bleeding!
Not just the spectators outside were stunned but also the youth wielding the blade, who stood there dumbfounded for a moment, bewildered by the unexpected circumstance. Despite his rich combat experience, he was briefly at a loss.
And in that brief moment, he exposed a fatal flaw.
With a bang, Li Hao counterattacked with a punch that hammered onto the youth’s chest, shattering his ribs, the blood squeezed out.
Following that, Li Hao lifted his body and slammed him harshly onto the ground, stepping on his abdomen. The crushed innards sprayed out of the youth’s mouth as Red Gold divine blood splattered.
“Too weak!”
Standing over the youth, Li Hao gazed down domineeringly, looking toward another youth who was hesitating to approach.
Witnessing Li Hao’s fierce prowess, the other youth’s face was filled with shock, and he stopped halfway.
He wasn’t foolish and immediately realized this youth was a monster!
Surviving a blade strike to the head unscathed, how was that possible?
Unless he was a pure Body Refinement cultivator, condensing his physical form to an inconceivable degree!
At the corner of the arena, near the Barrier, the previously defeated Ji Rufeng had not returned to the fray; instead, he was sitting there, healing his wounds.
Seeing the moment the divine blade couldn’t damage Li Hao, he was stunned; then the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, finally understanding why his own blows had been so devastatingly ineffective against Li Hao!
