“That is… what?!”
At that moment, the dazzling sun, like a distant horizon, seemed to have fallen above the Sacred Mountain of the Ji Family.
It stood tall and radiant with boundless might, enveloped in extremely bright golden divine light.
In the Dao Domain, Ji Xuan Shen had drawn upon the full force of the earth, soaring into the sky, but in the blink of an eye, the divine might that converged around the young man’s body made him seem like a true god descending!
His pupils contracted, his eyes focused, but he was unable to look directly at the young man. The opponent’s body was covered in the brilliant divine power, unseeable.
His eyes narrowed, but what followed was fury. He roared to the heavens,
“Even if it is a god, I will bring it down!”
He raised his hand, and a Divine Sword emerged from his space, falling into his palm, bringing forth limitless sword momentum. He gathered his own Dao Domain’s power and struck a mighty blow towards the heavens!
And in the midst of that mid-air splendid divine radiance, Li Hao’s entire body burned with divine flames, his blood boiling. His flesh tore and cracked, but his fist was tightly clenched. Facing the soaring sword light, he took a half-step forward.
Bang!!
The violent momentum, the invincible might of the fist, was like the wrath of a god descending to shatter the entire Sacred Mountain!!
That ultimate sword light and the fist’s intent collided in the high sky, the Dao Domain covered, and the fracturing laws rapidly eroded, but the clash lasted only an instant.
Then came an extremely fierce brilliance of divine light, scattering in all directions. Those who originally gazed with all their visual strength felt a sting in their eyes, like a needle prick, and involuntarily shut them tight.
When they opened their eyes again, they saw the sword light that seemed to split heaven and earth break off, that soaring figure was suppressed by a force as fierce as a wild beast. Like a golden pillar of light, it slammed straight down onto the Dao Platform, sinking deeply!
The entire Dao venue fractured, turning into a huge pit, but the range of the pit’s impact was blocked by Ji Daoxin’s barrier, not extending outside of the venue at all.
The Dao venue vanished, and a cone-shaped deep pit emerged.
In mid-air, only a figure drenched in blood, shining with red gold, stood erect.
His skin and flesh were torn, the white bones on his arms and fists jutted out prominently, and his ribs were exposed from the melting blood and flesh, giving a terrifying sight.
But his posture was upright, like a young War God standing there, hair flying about.
Even the noisy wind between heaven and earth became gentle by his side, not daring to make a sound.
It was as if consoling the young man’s brutal injuries, tenderly touching and healing him.
This scene silenced the crowd spread over the mountainsides, leaving them speechless.
That young man had shattered the legend, defeated all the geniuses of the Ji Family, and even suppressed the Dao Domain!
Ji Tian Chao and Ji Yunqing, among others, were dumbfounded, staring at the young man in mid-air. His injuries were extremely severe, almost on the brink of death, but undoubtedly, he had paid a great price and also defeated Ji Xuan Shen!
At that moment, they remembered Ji Yun Ge’s words and finally understood why, despite his deep-seated obsession before death, he still couldn’t forget to ask them to take good care of this young man.
Without ever having enjoyed any resources from the Ji Family, this young man had surpassed all the Family’s geniuses!
The many talents who had previously fallen to Li Hao were all stupefied.
The Ji Xuan Shen that hovered over their heads like a mountain, the unreachable strongest of all prodigies, had actually been defeated by this young man?
In this brief silence, the ground suddenly began to tremble.
Everyone was momentarily startled, and as they focused their eyes, they saw a roar emerging from the cone-shaped deep hole.
It was Ji Xuan Shen.
At this moment, his Treasure Garment was torn, the divine armor upon his body cracked, covered in blood, the neat hairdo now undone, disheveled, and in disarray.
But his eyes, like two golden stars amid the falling hair, emanated an arresting, resentful light.
“Is this your limit?”
It seemed Ji Xuan Shen was gritting his teeth, his voice cold. Since the year of the competition for the strongest genius, he had never suffered such severe wounds or been in such a sorry state.
Li Hao’s flesh was slowly healing as he retracted his power to turn into an immortal, unable to get distracted to speak.
Waves of tearing pain spread throughout his body as his gaze fixed on the opponent. The prodigy of the Tai Ping Tao of Peace Realm might be even more difficult to deal with than the Candle Flame God.
“Without me, you might really have had a chance to get the Dao Seed, but with me here, it’s a mountain you cannot overcome!”
From Ji Xuan Shen’s body, at the side of his chest and abdomen, a blinding radiance suddenly burst forth.
It was a dazzling silver light, as if penetrating heaven and earth, piercing through his body; his flesh and blood could not block the silver sacred radiance.
“But you don’t have the Holy Bone, I originally planned to just use the Dao Domain to suppress you. Forcing me to use the Holy Bone means your death is worthwhile!”
Ji Xuan Shen glared at Li Hao, his eyes radiating with anger. Even if he won this battle, he would have no glory, but if he lost, he might be heartbroken in the way of the Dao, which would be even more disgraceful.
“It’s the Holy Bone!”
“Ji Xuan Shen is going to use the power of the Holy Bone!”
“Exactly, this is Ji Xuan Shen’s true trump card!”
The crowd outside the arena, seeing the silver holy light radiating from Ji Xuan Shen’s body, revealed shock in their eyes. Pushing Ji Xuan Shen to this extent, the young man wouldn’t lose any face even if he lost!
Waves of power that transcended the material realm drifted from the heaven and earth, converging into Ji Xuan Shen’s body.
Ji Xuan Shen’s whole aura became mysterious and surging, his hair flying wildly, and his eyes were red gold and cold, staring fixedly at Li Hao:
“Without the Holy Bone, even if I gave you the Dao Seed, you would be replaced by someone in the future, suppress!”
With a single word from him, the Holy Bone within his body emitted an endless radiance, as if with the Power of Laws. The moment his voice fell, an indescribable power suddenly exerted itself upon Li Hao.
Li Hao’s pupils constricted, feeling as if he had been heavily struck on the crown of his head, as if someone were trying to press down on his skull, suppressing him into the ground.
He could not perceive the force, nor any technique, it was like a certain Dao, a certain law!
This… was nearing the power of a saint!
Li Hao’s wounds that were still healing burst open once again, and his body began to fall, but Li Hao fiercely clenched his teeth and stopped the descent.
The price for stopping was that all the wounds on his body tore open, and in an instant, he looked like a blood-drenched figure!
Li Hao slowly raised his head, looking up at Ji Xuan Shen high above, with those coldly condescending golden eyes.
“Do you still want to resist the power of a saint?”
The silver light at the side of Ji Xuan Shen’s abdomen was resplendent; it was from a bone, so brilliant that even his flesh couldn’t conceal the radiance of the Holy Bone!
It felt like ten thousand mountains bearing down on his spine and head; this power was stronger than the Dao Domain, but Li Hao knew that once he was suppressed, he would never be able to rise again!
His blood and flesh fumed, bursting forth with a sky-reaching might.
The power of becoming an immortal surged rapidly again, unleashing the might from before.
But this time, his body was not yet healed, reaching such an extreme condition, his flesh as tough as divine iron was now crumbling away like torn rotten flesh.
“Aaargh!!”
Li Hao let out a roar to the sky, with every hair bristling, his flesh completely burst open, revealing many spots of dazzling red-gold bones. Discover hidden stories at empire
But this all-out explosion did not displace the unspeakable vast force upon him.
“Useless, you are but a half-blood, without inheriting the Holy Bone of the Prime Ancestor of the Ji Family; below the saints, all are ants!” Ji Xuan Shen said with icy eyes.
“Just a Holy Bone trying to suppress me?!” Li Hao roared to the sky, “I don’t need to inherit a Holy Bone; one day, I will refine my own Holy Bone!”
The young man’s roar echoed throughout the entire mountaintop.
At the same time, a grand and immense manifestation of the Heaven and Earth Law appeared behind Li Hao.
The colossal manifestation, as if uttering a silent roar, abruptly operated the Heaven and Earth Vein, harnessing the Power of Heaven and Earth atop the mountain summit, then billowed out intense waves of energy.
Li Hao and the manifestation struck together, throwing punches towards Ji Xuan Shen in the heaven above!
As the manifestation’s fist fell, it was like a real meteorite, a massive shadow instantly blocking out the entirety of Tian Dao Mountain.
“That’s… The Third Pole Realm, Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation!”
That towering, god-like figure, like a shadow, cast its presence over every face on Tian Dao Mountain at that moment.
