Boom!
The lightning palm strike was suddenly cleaved apart by sword light. Li Hao teleported in an instant, and right after splitting the attack, he teleported again, appearing next to Emperor Yu:
“I’ll take you away!”
Hearing the young man’s firm and decisive four words, Emperor Yu’s body trembled, and those eyes that had seen innumerable people began to redden slightly.
His throat moved gently and his voice was a bit hoarse as he said, “You are too foolish!”
Li Hao looked at him, then smiled, “It’s because you won at chess.”
It wasn’t a win over a chessboard, but over a strategic game involving the whole world.
With genuine heart and favor, a deep-lying “black stone” was planted in Li Hao’s heart, forcing him to defend only to the edges of his moral baseline. Otherwise, he would lose everything.
Upon hearing Li Hao’s words, Emperor Yu’s expression shook slightly, with a feeling of wanting to both laugh and cry.
He had indeed won and was accustomed to winning, but this time he did not want to win.
He wished to lose.
“Forget about me, get out of here! The Great Yu Incense Fire needs me to transfer it. If I leave, they will not stop until death, they will slaughter all of Dayu’s people, they want to destroy the nation!”
Emperor Yu repressed his emotions, speaking quickly and with a serious look.
Hearing this, Li Hao’s expression changed slightly.
Destroy the nation?
With the capabilities of those few, it could indeed be done, and all that would be necessary was to slaughter the strong ones in each state and leave the rest to the demons.
“If you stay here, after they plunder the Incense Fire, they won’t spare you either, they will utterly eradicate you!” Li Hao immediately responded.
Emperor Yu felt a bitter sweetness in his heart—he was all too aware of this fact, but he did not want to involve Li Hao, he did not want him to be hunted.
He never intended to hand over the Incense Fire, he wanted to hold them off, even if they died, because their Fire Seeds were still within the Immortal Gate, scattered everywhere. They could rebuild the nation again in the future and continue to resurrect the Ancestor.
This great cause, if not successful once, then twice, until eternity.
Once the Ancestor is resurrected, everything will be worth it.
But the one thing he felt was not worth it, was Li Hao dying here for this cause. Enjoy new tales from My Virtual Library Empire
“If you go, they will all die!”
The youth in yellow and white gazed icily, discerning that Li Hao’s risky move here must be because he was deeply connected with these people. He attacked again, but this time not targeting Li Hao, instead he swung his spear fiercely, a spear glow slashing towards the others.
The sight of the spear glow caused Li Hao’s expression to change slightly, his body flickered, and in the instant the spear glow reached, he stepped in front of everyone, cleaving with his sword.
Sword light clashed with the spear glow, an extreme coldness as if to freeze the void itself, almost made Li Hao taste blood, and his sword light shattered.
His Sixth Stage of Sword Dao, though extraordinarily peerless in the mortal realm, was starting to fall behind compared to the beings of the Tao Comprehension Realm.
“Dao Law, Thunderfall!”
The youth with a half-mask also took the opportunity to attack, giving Li Hao no chance to breathe, as a lightning bolt suddenly fell, a massive amount of thunder surging from all around, intent on pulverizing everyone.
Li Hao could not afford to suppress his injuries and swung his sword swiftly in succession, countless layers of Sword Qi finally forcing the lightning back.
But at the same moment, the exceedingly beautiful woman and the other two also struck simultaneously, their Dao Laws descended one after another. The power that followed their commands targeted not Li Hao, but the people behind him.
“Haotian General, go quickly, leave us alone!”
One of the Royal Family’s strong members urgently said.
“Hao Er, run!”
Li Muxiu was even more anxiously stamping her foot.
Li Hao saw the Second Elder and Xia Linglong among the familiar faces in the crowd. As the Dao Laws from the three lunged towards them in an instant, he was too late to block and could only teleport forward, using his body to shield against the Dao Laws.
Boom! The Dao Law struck his body in an instant, threatening to tear it apart.
He activated the Unwithering Strength, greatly enhancing the effect of Blood Rebirth, his body rapidly regenerating amidst the destruction of Dao Law, his flesh bursting with gushes of blood.
This scene left the crowd dumbfounded, with many who had never met Li Hao standing aghast, unsure why the youth would be so resolute.
That young and slender silhouette, at that moment, looked like a wall of flesh and blood, standing in front of them.
“Can it even be blocked?”
The beautiful woman and her companions were somewhat astonished. Seeing Li Hao’s body torn but healing at an astonishing rate, the impact of several layers of Dao Law would have greatly injured even them at the Dao Law Realm, and now, it was unbelievably being blocked by someone at the Grand Tao of Peace Realm.
Boom!
The youth in yellow and white seized the opportunity, instantly teleporting to attack Emperor Yu.
His spear thrust fiercely forward.
Puff! A figure teleported in front of the spear, blocking it with his chest.
“Die!!”
Li Hao’s eyes blazed with fury, one hand grabbing the spear shaft, and the other swinging his sword mightily!
The youth in yellow and white’s expression changed slightly. He had deliberately attacked Emperor Yu to lure Li Hao over, aiming to inflict serious injuries, but he had not expected Li Hao to be so resolute, as if he was risking his life.
“Stabilize!”
He rapidly cast his Dao Law, laws extending, covering the area with his Dao Domain. In an instant, Li Hao’s sword swing was dramatically slowed down, but Li Hao erupted with full force, a trace of Immortal Divine Power concentrated on his sword, directly cleaving the opponent’s Dao Domain.
Puff!
The youth in yellow and white lost half a shoulder, and in his shock and anger, he tried to withdraw his spear but was horrified to discover that, in a simple contest of strength, he was no match for Li Hao!
Even with his Dao Power and Physical Body Strength combined, he couldn’t move it!
Seeing Li Hao swinging his sword again, he withdrew in shock and rage, abandoning his spear and teleporting backwards.
“Quick, bombard him with Dao Law!”
He, who had always been calm, was now outraged, shouting loudly.
Being continually frustrated by Li Hao in front of him had even shaken his Dao heart; being suppressed to this extent by someone at the Grand Tao of Peace Realm was something even a reincarnated Saint could not accept!
As his words fell, the Dao Laws from the others had already bombarded in succession. Li Hao’s sword light scattered some, but the rest still took its toll on him.
Boom! His body could not withstand it, and it burst apart.
Scattered blood and debris filled the sky, silencing the previously frantic shouts of the crowd as if their throats had been severed, their voices abruptly disappearing.
Emperor Yu was stunned, staring at the blood raining down from the sky, a significant amount splattering onto his own body.
His mind buzzed, feeling somewhat blank.
The breathtakingly beautiful woman was about to lament how easily Li Hao had died when she suddenly sensed something and her complexion drastically changed.
Li Hao’s body rapidly regenerated from a pool of blood, fully restoring within a mere breath’s time.
Such an eerie scene once again left everyone dumbstruck.
The young man in yellow and white and others’ pupils contracted, shock evident on their faces.
“What kind of power is this?”
“It’s said that only in the Saint Realm can one achieve Blood Rebirth, where as long as the Great Yu Incense Fire and Heavenly Dao remain unextinguished, one could be reborn through them.”
“But isn’t he a Reincarnated Body?”
The young man in yellow and white and the others were all bewildered, such a scenario was rare to them; had their bodies been pulverized, they would have undoubtedly perished. Regeneration had been possible before because most of the body remained intact, and the Primordial Spirit was still present.
“Quick, kill him again!”
Realizing that Li Hao’s life-preserving capabilities surpassed imagination, the young man in yellow and white was the first to react, hastily urging his Dao Law into action.
The world seemed to freeze, as an exceedingly frigid power enveloped everything, other people’s Dao Laws also quickly struck, at the moment Li Hao’s body regenerated, phenomena burst forth with Dao Laws blooming, lightning filling the sky, and bursts of cold winds swept across as if to bring about the end of the world, enveloping the entire square.
Li Hao looked up, seeing the laws extending in a flash, everything was too late to obstruct.
He took a step forward.
Boom!
With the Heaven and Earth Power under his control, he bore the brunt of these many Dao Laws’ destruction.
The power of the laws bore down on Li Hao, but this time, using the strength of the Ultimate Immortal Transformation, he channeled these Dao Laws into the surrounding Heaven and Earth, distributing the bulk of the attack.
Despite this, the remaining power of the laws acting upon him still made him immensely uncomfortable, his body feeling like it was being ripped apart.
Seeing Li Hao’s tenacity, the young man in yellow and white and others felt a tremor of fear, their strikes growing even more fierce as they continuously executed their Dao Laws.
The other four moved into action while the young man in yellow and white clapped his hands together, displaying his Divine Skills of Dao Law.
Boom!
As if an avalanche descended, phenomena emerged from heaven, threatening to engulf Li Hao.
The phenomena spread far and wide, influencing even the four directions of Heaven and Earth. As Li Hao’s consciousness had already merged into the Heaven and Earth, he felt an endless chill, as if standing naked in a field of snow.
He could teleport away, but once he did, everyone else would die.
These Dao Laws already covered the entire square; in essence, the five had made the entire area their target, unleashing a torrent of attacks.
Boom!
Li Hao swung his sword, a trace of Immortal Divine Power cutting through with extreme sharpness, yet it only managed to split the phenomena, with the rest of the power still sweeping down.
Li Hao suddenly soared skyward, his hair disheveled, unleashing boundless authority.
At this moment, he seemed to return to the time when he had risen alone from the abyss, but this time he ascended not just for himself, but for all the people behind him and for the entire Dayu Divine Dynasty, to hold back this destructive murderous intent.
Boom!
In an instant, thousands of strands of Sword Qi slashed out, nearly overlapping, shattering the cleaved phenomena.
That sliver of Immortal Divine Power was incredibly handy, effortlessly slicing through even the Divine Skills of Dao Law.
But as Li Hao blocked this Divine Skill, the attacks from the other four continued to come incessantly, at speeds that mimicked the decree of law—boom, boom, boom! Li Hao’s body shook continuously, and although he channeled most of the force into Heaven and Earth, his body still nearly fell apart.
In the Ultimate Immortal Transformation, his consciousness had long since merged with Heaven and Earth, but at this moment, even this realm of Heaven and Earth seemed to tremble, on the verge of shattering!
“Kill!”
The five held back their frustration and rage, bombarding him with continuous Dao Laws, allowing no respite for Li Hao.
The crowd could only watch helplessly.
Boom!
Li Hao roared furiously, his cry echoing as he brandished his sword.
The geo-pulse extended, and so did Li Hao’s consciousness, but it wasn’t enough, he needed more Power of Heaven and Earth!
But as his consciousness expanded, it dissipated like countless molecules voyaging through the Heaven and Earth, his awareness gradually blurring.
Even though the Ultimate Immortal Transformation relying on Blood Rebirth allowed the regeneration of his physical body and bonded his consciousness with Heaven and Earth to a high degree.
But now, Li Hao, in an effort to draw on more power, scattered his consciousness over a wider area like a sprawling spiderweb, desperately covering the extent. As power was drawn, his awareness seemed to be melting away.
If his consciousness completely dissolves, then only an empty physical shell would remain, leaving no chance to enter the Mo River.
At this moment, whether it was an illusion or not, Li Hao faintly perceived a will within the Heaven and Earth.
This will was supreme, devoid of emotion, resembling an observer, covering the entire vast Heaven and Earth, and what he touched was merely one of its will’s dispersing tendrils.
Li Hao felt somewhat bewildered, but at the same time, a realization dawned upon him.
Was this the Heaven’s Will?
It’s said that Heaven’s Will must not be defied.
At this moment, Li Hao truly felt the weight of these words, in the face of this supreme and majestic will, it seemed as if no force could oppose or resist!
This is the Ultimate Immortal Transformation’s endpoint, isn’t it? To become one with the Heavenly Dao, my Dao is the Heavenly Dao, my heart is the Heavenly Heart!
Previously, in the abyss, he had reshaped his body with Heaven and Earth as the core, planting a seed that now seemed to be slowly sprouting.
Feeling that supreme will, Li Hao suddenly realized that his prior control over the Power of Heaven and Earth had been too rudimentary.
Merely relying on the Immortal Qi transformation and the body’s absorption, how much could be absorbed?
Even with the support of geo-pulse, like a large bowl catching the rain, it eventually has its limits.
True control should be to lift this Heaven and Earth itself, to use the essence of Heaven and Earth to suppress everything!
That would be the zenith of transformation to an Immortal, the Celestial Venerable!
