He felt unexpectedly powerless at this moment, as if his incarnation reflected here struggled to exert its strength!
Cutting down a mere Tao Comprehension Realm cultivator, he actually felt it was troublesome and difficult.
But this only made him more resolute in his determination to slay Li Hao. Another avatar shimmered into existence in the void, and two avatars simultaneously made their move, aiming to kill and restrain the Divine Blood in all directions.
Boom!
Li Hao’s body was completely torn apart by the Void Tide, but his blood and bones fled in all directions.
If the opponent used the Saint’s Will to capture him, he would directly use the will of the Celestial Venerable to annihilate it, forcing the Void Saint to search and suppress with greater effort.
Li Hao’s thoughts became unprecedentedly focused and calm, suppressing his rage deep within his heart. He discreetly overlaid the River Snow Painting and Hidden Bow with other concealed attributes onto a small amount of his Divine Blood and elongated strings of this blood with the “invisible line” technique of Fishing, burying them in the chaotic void.
The remaining Divine Blood either fled or condensed into his body, unleashing the Sword Tide against the foe, stirring up a terrifying momentum.
His goal was not to kill but to conceal.
With his current strength, facing a Saint meant he had no chance of battle, only to conceal and escape.
He had memorized the previous rift, and now he covertly shifted a portion of the Divine Blood there.
Boom Boom Boom!
In the void, waves and Sword Qi collided; the Void Saint appeared to grow irritated and suddenly merged the power of his two avatars, pressing down with his hand.
Instantly, the entire void solidified, as if time itself had stopped.
The Divine Blood, which had been escaping to an extremely remote place using Returning Ruin Instantaneous Movement, was now also restricted; the void within ten thousand miles stood still!
Afterward, the Void Saint raised his hand and began to smelt the frozen Divine Blood incessantly.
The blood, which he could previously obliterate with a wave of his hand, now had to be slowly grinded down, just like Golden Beads, and it was extremely time-consuming.
Although the Void Saint was annoyed, he had no choice; there were gains from this battle for him, as he had personally witnessed the hidden origins of the Divine Clan.
As time went by, the Divine Blood, bone fragments, and remnants scattered in the void were all gradually destroyed and ground down by the Void Saint.
“Such a hard-to-kill being from the Tao Comprehension Realm is indeed rare in the world; the Divine Clan actually cultivated their physical bodies. It seems that I still need to improve my physical cultivation.” The Void Saint muttered to himself, then looked towards the emptiness, where his gaze swept through, leaving nothing behind.
He extended his senses and soon detected a trace of fluctuation in the void.
Boom!
With a grip of his hand, the void trembled, and a drop of Divine Blood was squeezed out.
The Void Saint gazed at it briefly, then continued smelting.
The various abilities this youth possessed had indeed broadened his horizons; the subtlety of this concealment would have gone unnoticed had he not become a Saint through the Void Tao.
After more than ten minutes, having ground away the drop of Divine Blood, the Void Saint glanced around once more, and then, without lingering, disappeared from the spot.
Shortly after his departure, suddenly, three drops of Divine Blood emerged in the void.
These three drops of blood carried Li Hao’s will and swiftly rushed towards the void rift he had previously captured, to prevent it from disappearing.
Yet, as soon as the Divine Blood reached the rift, a figure emerged – it was the previously vanished Void Saint.
With cold and mocking eyes, he stretched out his hand and grasped all three drops of Divine Blood.
“You thought I didn’t notice the rift? I left it there on purpose.”
The Void Saint’s eyes were cold as he squeezed the Divine Blood in his palm; void power surged and tore it apart continuously, refining it.
Li Hao let out a scream of agony and a roar of fury, struggling to resist, but with only three drops of Divine Blood, he could hardly tap into the power of Heaven and Earth. It didn’t take long before he was obliterated.
The Dao Power within the Divine Blood was stripped away and began to dissipate in the void.
Dao Power cannot be eradicated, but as the will that wields it is destroyed, it will gradually dissipate and return to Heaven and Earth.
The Void Saint looked at the emptiness, laughed coldly, and then his avatar dissipated.
The void also returned to normal, silent and still.
A long, long time passed.
Only then did a drop of golden Divine Blood emerge from the void.
As soon as this drop of blood appeared, it rushed rapidly toward the rift.
As it did so, the Divine Blood rapidly transformed, coalescing into the form of Li Hao.
Swoosh!

Finally, touching the rift, Li Hao escaped through it.
However, as soon as he crossed the rift, Li Hao saw a familiar figure and aura.
It was the Void Saint’s avatar!
The adversary stood outside the rift in the universe, with a smile that was not quite a smile, watching Li Hao.
“Turns out there really is something, quite adept at disguising.”
He reached out with a hand, pressing down directly at Li Hao as the void became restricted.
Li Hao, revived through Blood Rebirth but in an extremely weak state, looked at him in shock and rage, roaring, “I will never let you go, even in death!”
Soon his body was crushed by the suppression and exploded on the spot.
The Void Saint congealed the exploded flesh into a sphere in his palm, refining it.
“This method of concealment is indeed unique; even I was unable to detect it…” the Void Saint murmured to himself. He had noticed earlier that the opponent possessed some very special abilities that could even escape the eyes of a Saint.
This made him take the matter even more seriously; such a monstrous individual must not be allowed to break free.
While his avatar was present to kill Li Hao, his true body was being held accountable by the Saints of the Primordial Holy Land and the Heavenly Phoenix Holy Land and could not split his attention.
Though his true form was preoccupied, that didn’t matter; the Void Saint’s avatar had no intention of leaving, continuing to watch over this section of the void. As a Saint, he had all the time in the world.
…
Meanwhile, inside the Immortal Gate.
Ancestor Yu and the Goddess sensed the disturbances within the Immortal Gate had ceased, as if the battlefield was moved, or more likely, the young man had been killed by the Void Saint.
