“Mysterious God!”
Seeing Ji Mysterious God standing in the way, Ji Daoxin’s face changed slightly, and he let out a light shout.
But he did not blame him, for he saw that Ji Mysterious God merely wanted to stop Li Hao from leaving, rather than truly harboring any ill will.
“There’s no need for a challenge, you have already won.”
Li Hao looked at the youth before him and said calmly, “In the Ji Family, you are the strongest prodigy.”
“But I have not yet defeated you!”
Ji Mysterious God’s face showed a mix of anger and a sense of powerlessness as he stared at Li Hao’s Divine Flame outer garment, saying:
“You are now at the Grand Tao of Peace Realm, although I don’t know how you managed it, but you had previously defeated me at Three Immortal Realms, now, you must be even more formidable!”
“One move, just one exchange!”
“If you can defeat me within one move, I will let you go!”
He stared intensely at Li Hao, “Do you dare accept?”
Hearing the words of this youth, the other members of the Ji Family were all taken aback, no one thought Ji Mysterious God was overreaching or recklessly arrogant, they all saw that the one move he talked about meant using all his strength, to retain this opponent who had once defeated him.
This was not hostility, but camaraderie!
Perhaps, this was the mutual admiration between prodigies?
“That’s right, if you don’t defeat Mysterious God, running away after winning is running away!”
“If you want to leave the Ji Family, then you must accept the fight!”
The other prodigies arrived and they all saw Ji Mysterious God’s intentions, all voicing their support and egging him on.
Faced with Li Hao, who had mastered the Dao Domain, they had no confidence to withstand a single move against him, but Ji Mysterious God also had control of the Dao Domain, and if he combined it with the power of the Holy Bone, it was not impossible to withstand one move!
These words sounded like a challenge, like reluctance, but the other Ji Family elders all looked toward Li Hao, hoping he would agree.
To give Ji Mysterious God a chance.
A chance not for a challenge, but for him to stay.
Li Hao also understood Ji Mysterious God’s intentions, and he fell silent for a moment.
The initial climb up the mountain, countless obstacles.
Now descending the mountain, it was still countless obstacles.
Back then, it was for the Ji Family.
Now, it was also for the Ji Family.
Only this time, there was something more.
And this something more happened to be the most precious and hardest to come by.
“Then let’s give it a try.”
Li Hao seemed to sigh as he spoke, knowing in his heart the outcome and the answer.
Hearing that Li Hao was willing to agree, a look of happiness replaced the anger and complexity in Ji Mysterious God’s eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief, afraid Li Hao would insist on leaving, not giving him a chance at all.
After all, if Li Hao truly wanted to leave, he would not be able to stop him.
But one move, he still had that confidence.
Despite having been defeated by Li Hao at the Three Immortal Realms before, during this time, he had completely stepped from the Half-step Tao Realm into the Grand Tao of Peace Realm!
In just an instant, his Dao Domain could unfold, multiplying the power of the rules several times over.
At the same level of Dao Realm, he was the Ji Family’s supreme prodigy, he did not believe he couldn’t withstand one move from Li Hao.
“Your word is your bond!”
Ji Mysterious God drew in a deep breath, his eyes becoming stern, the aura of his body swelling as the geo-pulse appeared faintly, drawing all the power of the surrounding heavens and earth to converge upon him.
Armed with the experience of the last confrontation, this time he chose to strike first – somewhat dishonorable yet necessary – preemptively plundering the surrounding power of heavens and earth.
By doing so, he could prevent Li Hao from quickly entering the Land Immortal Realm, where in that realm’s exchange, he felt he might not even withstand a single move, for now Li Hao was different from the Immortal, having reached the peak of the Four Extreme Realms.
As the enormous power gathered within him, Ji Mysterious God’s whole body radiated a heavy oppressive force, and the power of splitting and transformation thundered around his body.
He gazed at Li Hao but saw Li Hao seemingly not gathering force or making a move.
“Don’t blame me for not giving you time to prepare!”
If they were to clash again on the Dao stage, he would stop, but now, having said only one sentence, he rapidly deployed his Dao Domain towards Li Hao.
In the Grand Tao of Peace Realm, the fight was dominated by Dao Domains—those who have the stronger Dao Domain and seize the initiative first would be the victors.
Ji Daoxin and others looked at Li Hao, seeing that he was completely without any sign of explosive stance, their hearts were filled with secret joy—perhaps Li Hao really wished to stay deep down?
Just as everyone was astonished by Ji Mysterious God’s power and secretly thrilled, Li Hao merely lifted his foot and continued walking forward.
Faced with the oncoming rift of the Dao Domain, he acted as if nothing had happened, simply stepping straight out.
The Dao Domain enshrouded him, but to Ji Mysterious God and everyone’s amazement, there was no change to Li Hao’s body, only his hair fluttered slightly, as if touched by the breath of spring.
Before Ji Mysterious God could react, two Dao Domains spread out from Li Hao’s body, in just an instant, shattering Ji Mysterious God’s Dao Domain, pushing it back in the opposite direction, and ultimately, completely compressing it back into his own body.
Within Li Hao’s Dual Dao Domain, his Dao Domain was completely suppressed and couldn’t unfold at all!
And the rules within Li Hao’s Dual Dao Domain were not exerted with full force, only mildly suppressed.
Then, Li Hao took his steps, walking straight past Ji Mysterious God’s side.
From beginning to end, Li Hao appeared to have not even lifted a hand, to have made no move.
And Ji Mysterious God couldn’t move an inch, stiff as a statue, staring blankly as the youth who once defeated him walked towards and brushed past his shoulder, with only his eyes able to move.
The shock and horror in his heart could not be described in words.
Was the difference that great?
What followed was waves of crushing defeat and pain.
Ji Daoxin and Ji Tian Chao and others, who thought they would see a fierce clash, instead saw Ji Mysterious God’s momentous aura abruptly and effortlessly stopped by Li Hao, as the spring rain nourishes all things, silent and unnoticeable.
