Boom!
Having burst out of the Imperial Palace and Imperial City, and teleported thousands of miles away, the venerable Demon Sheep Elder was rapidly caught up by Li Hao. With only a few hundred miles left between them, Li Hao suddenly attacked with his sword within his striking range.
The piercing Sword Qi instantly tore through the Dao Domain of the Demon Sheep Elder, cleaving his body in two.
The Demon Sheep Elder let out an angry roar, suddenly revealing his true form—a massive demon sheep with curling fur emitting a nightmarish vile aura.
He roared and displayed his Dao skills in a desperate attempt to find a way out.
But Li Hao had continuously closed the distance using Returning Ruin Instantaneous Movement, his sword radiating light, channeling hundreds of miles of Heaven and Earth Power, which instantly condensed and was swiftly slashed out.
Puff!
The Dao skills were dispelled, and the sword light directly cleaved his body.
The Demon Sheep Elder let out mournful and furious howls. His Dao skills trembled intensely, inducing a huge spectacle that covered the sky, turning the originally clear sky suddenly pitch black, with dark demonic light spreading over from afar.
“In front of me, you dare obstruct the heavens!”
Li Hao suddenly waved his hand up and the vast Heaven and Earth Power swept away the skies of demonic light, the demonic light instantly dispersing, the sky clearing up once again, even bluer than before, with clouds reflecting the golden divine light of the fierce sun.
Despair filled the eyes of the Demon Sheep Elder, but he didn’t speak. Instead, he refined his Primordial Spirits, using their power to make a final stand.
Seeing his vigorous resistance, Li Hao wasn’t frightened and merely said to the young man in yellow and white beside him, “You go finish him.”
“Ah, me?”
The young man in yellow and white was stunned, and upon seeing Li Hao’s piercing gaze, he wryly said, “But I only have my Primordial Spirits now, I may not be his match.”
“Take him down, then report his Divine Skills to me, and I shall spare your life,” Li Hao said directly.
The young man’s eyes narrowed as he gauged Li Hao, trying to discern the truth in his words, said, “Can you swear by your Dao heart?”
“Swear for you? Are you worth that?” Li Hao retorted.
The young man felt embarrassed, knowing it was unlikely, reluctantly replied, “Then, I’ll try my best.”
After saying that, he looked towards the Demon Sheep Elder with a murderous intent in his eyes, used Returning Ruin Instantaneous Movement, and quickly attacked.
Soon, both sides clashed fiercely, the Demon Sheep Elder exhibiting incredible power, fighting toe-to-toe with the young man in yellow and white.
The young man, however, was silently transmitting, “I’m feigning an attack on purpose. My previous escape was wrong, but if we want to survive, we must join forces now!”
“Do you think he’ll spare us? Get lost!”
The Demon Sheep Elder saw through things more clearly, coldly laughing, “He said he’d spare your life, but he didn’t say he wouldn’t cripple you and have others kill you. Ask him if that’s really the case.”
The young man’s complexion changed, involuntarily looking towards Li Hao.
Li Hao’s expression remained calm as he said, “Can’t you finish him yet?”
Although the move was covert, Li Hao still noticed the whispered communication, clearly still harboring ill intentions, but he wasn’t surprised.
The young man’s expression shifted slightly, quickly saying, “I’ll do it now!”
After speaking, taking advantage of close combat, he signaled the Demon Sheep Elder with his eyes.
Though the Demon Sheep Elder understood his intentions, at this moment he too wanted to escape. As they fought, they moved closer towards Li Hao, when suddenly the Demon Sheep Elder unleashed a sinister Dao skill, black energy forming chains that twisted towards Li Hao in an attempt to bind and penetrate him.
“Don’t bother struggling, if you want to kill me, let’s die together!”
The eyes of the Demon Sheep Elder showed a mix of surprise and maliciousness as he said, “This is an ancient, incomplete Divine Skill I discovered, the Life-Linked Chains. Now your life and mine are bound together, if he kills us, we die together!”
The young man’s face paled instantly, realizing that he’d be the only outsider left here if that were the case.
But quickly, he saw Li Hao raise his hand and at the moment the Demon Sheep Elder relaxed, a sword slashed out.
The sword light, like a long river, split the body of the Demon Sheep Elder, the bursting Sword Qi piercing through his body. Instantly, his Primordial Spirit trembled, as if seeing something unbelievable, exclaimed in shock,
“How, how is this possible?”
Then, his body burst open, Divine Soul utterly destroyed.
The young man hurriedly looked towards Li Hao, only to see that Li Hao was completely unharmed, and had not experienced a joint fate as the other had mentioned.
Li Hao glanced at the dead Demon Sheep Elder, whose Dao skill had been absorbed by his body when it tried to merge with him.
Other Dao skills might have injured him, but specifically, the Life-Linked Chains had a special effect, and attempting to link with the current Ultimate Immortal Transformation Li Hao, who had merged with the heavens and earth, was an impossible task.
Linked with him, meant being linked with heaven and earth.
How could that be possible?
If it could really connect, that indeed would mean immortality, eternal and undying.
Li Hao then said to the young man, “Tell me about your Divine Skills.”
The young man was stunned, coming back to his senses, the excitement and ferociousness of Demon Sheep Elder had not seemed fake, implying that the terrifying Divine Skill had been resolved by this young man in some unknown, strange way.
He found Li Hao increasingly incomprehensible, but considering that the other party was likely a reincarnated Saint, perhaps occasional leaked memories of awakening, or a pre-arranged ploy, having power beyond his realm or even some strange methods seemed understandable.

He hesitated but seeing Li Hao’s piercing gaze could only commence teaching.
But like previously calculated, the four Divine Skills he passed on all had flaws—if Li Hao truly mastered and cultivated them, it would actually play right into his hands.
