“Since that’s the case, the Yang Saint won’t object to me dealing with the boy, will he?”
The Avatar of Void Saint spoke calmly.
“Of course not, it actually saves me the trouble,” the Avatar of Yang Saint said with interest. “Even if you don’t act, I would personally do so. This place is no longer under the Ji Family’s control, nor is it in the Mortal World. Killing him won’t alarm the Ji Family.”
“I’m just curious how he managed to provoke you.”
“Harming my Saint Heir deserves death.”
The response from the Avatar of Void Saint was extremely terse.
He did not disclose that the ordeal of accepting disciples in the Mortal World had revealed the youth before him to be from the Seven Extreme Realm. He knew that news of this would shake the entire Land of All Saints, despite awareness that the Primordial Holy Land and Heavenly Phoenix Holy Land had witnessed it and could not be kept in the dark. However, if he could slay Li Hao before the news spread, it would all vanish like bubbles.
A fleeting monster will, at best, be a topic of lively conversations for a while before dissipating into the clouds and being buried in the dust of time.
If he revealed this news now, it might lead to unforeseen complications and possible second thoughts.
“I see.”
After hearing this, the Yang Saint did not ponder further. Besides this, he could think of no other way Li Hao could have provoked a Saint.
“It’s all yours then.”
The Yang Saint said and turned to glance at Li Hao, seemingly offering a faint smile:
“Seeking my aid? Did you not consider why I was the first to appear after the Ji Family’s Extreme Dao Stele test? Do you think those who frequently linger at your doorstep are neighbors, or are they enemies?”
“Heh… Ji Family, I will ensure the Ji Family never rises again!”

He sneered slightly, yet his figure gradually faded from Li Hao’s sight, not worrying for a moment about Li Hao’s chances of survival.
After all, an Avatar of a Saint was acting personally; no amount of monstrous talent would help.
Seeing the other party vanish without attacking him, Li Hao felt a mix of shock and rage but also a slight release of tension.
He had thought he summoned a strong ally, only to find it nearly a path to doom!
Saints, Saints… Li Hao clenched his fists with indescribable anger.
While the two conversed just now, he had quietly healed his body and realized the treacherous nature behind the Dao mark.
The other party was the Ji Family Ancestor’s enemy, constantly observing the Ji Family. The Extreme Dao Stele test could showcase the true talents of geniuses—if the Ji Family really birthed a monster from the Four Extremes Realm, he would be discerned by the adversary, who, under the guise of offering apprenticeship, would essentially be leading the Ji Family into a trap!
Everything was a plot, a Saint’s scheme, not to eradicate the Ji Family entirely but essentially to obliterate it!
There would be no hope for advancement, unless this Saint were to fall!
In the presence of Saints, they were reduced to mere straws, thinking they had a future when, in reality, they lived without hope.
At this moment, Li Hao felt an extra hint of relief; it was fortunate he had many aspirations and did not rush things earlier. If he had rashly attempted to activate this mark and become the disciple of the adversary.
With his earlier situation in the Mortal World, the adversary would certainly have accepted him first, then, as suggested, would either lead him astray, misteach him, leaving no hope of becoming a Saint, or simply put him to death.
Nothing was more satisfying and reassuring than keeping the descendants of one’s foe under their watch to serve their own ends.
Devious, ruthless!
Li Hao now also realized that Saints were not without desires; instead, their cravings were immeasurable and unimaginable!
However, thinking about this was useless at the moment. His gaze turned to the Avatar of Void Saint, his eyes brimming with anger that was heavy and faintly savage.
“So that was your last card just now, wasn’t it? Time to die.”
The Avatar of Void Saint said indifferently, pronouncing Li Hao’s death sentence without any fuss.
As soon as the words fell, void power surged around like boiling water suddenly swept over, forming countless sharp blades squeezing towards Li Hao, unstoppable.
Li Hao’s eyes were filled with rage and the intent to kill; at this point, he had nothing to lose to carve out a sliver of chance.
But was there truly such a chance?
Li Hao did not know, but he did know he could not die so easily.
“Saints, Saints… If I don’t die, I will shatter your Holy Lands and twist off your heads!!”
Li Hao’s eyes reddened, and he roared fiercely as his Body Refinement Realm rapidly circulated, bones cracking, and his physical body’s strength concentrating and increasing.
His Physical Body Strength gradually approached tens of millions of pounds, which, though incomparable to the Heaven and Earth Power he could now harness, the pure Physical Body Strength amplified all aspects of his body, greatly impacting his ability to manipulate and endure the Heaven and Earth Power, and more.
Boom!!
Li Hao roared, swinging his sword in a chop, with his limbs turning red with exertion, swiftly pulling the power of Heaven and Earth, and cutting down viciously.
The Sword Qi was like a rainbow, immediately shattering two vortexes before tearing straight through them.
At the same time, more void vortexes attacked, cutting openings across his body.
Various silhouettes emerged behind Li Hao, projections of different Body Refinement techniques. His entire skeletal structure jumped and transformed, his muscle strength was enhancing, and his self-healing ability increased. Yet, these void blades were too sharp, unstoppable; even the stacking of his Nine-layer Dao Domain only slowed their assault.
“Void Annihilation Hand!”
Seeing Li Hao still struggling, the eyes of the Avatar of Void Saint chilled slightly, and he suddenly raised his hand. The surrounding void power converged, fiercely transforming into a collapsing black-hole-like palm, slamming down toward Li Hao.
Upon contact with the great void hand, the Dao Domain began to crumble and disintegrate.
Li Hao, driven by anger, swung his sword, yet the torrential Heaven and Earth Power was swallowed directly upon touching that great void hand, incapable even of delaying its crushing blow.
