The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 398 Ancient Demon Catastrophe, the Tenth Stage of Imperial Path! (2 words, more)

"Thank you for your kindness, senior."

Li Hao could feel that the other party had no ill intentions, otherwise, with his terrifying power, it would be easy to kill him.

Instead, he relaxed and sat down on a stone nearby. He said, "Senior, can you tell me about the war between the Emperor's Disaster Realm and this place? What happened? Why did all the immortals and gods disappear? Did they all come here to join the war?"

Seeing that Li Hao behaved calmly and without the slightest timidity or cowardice, the middle-aged soldier suddenly felt much more favorable to him. Just as he was about to speak, his eyes suddenly fixed, and the calmness in his eyes suddenly turned sharp.

The sharpness at that moment made Li Hao's relaxed body suddenly tense up. He felt a chill all over his body. The strong murderous intent made him feel creepy.

But soon, Li Hao realized that the murderous intent was not directed at him.

At the same time, the evil thoughts floating around suddenly became stronger. Li Hao felt as if there was a sharp low humming in his mind, which aroused his bloodthirstiness and murderousness, and his emotions became excited.

"what happened?"

Li Hao was shocked and looked around hurriedly, but his spiritual sense could only detect about ten miles.

At this distance, if we were attacked by the enemy, we would be killed in the blink of an eye.

Li Hao immediately entered the state of immortality and merged his body into the heaven and earth.

But this time, Li Hao immediately felt that his immortal state was very different from the past.

Under the ultimate immortality, his consciousness spread into the heaven and earth, but there was a strong energy in this heaven and earth that seemed to drown his consciousness.

"The ultimate immortal transformation cannot be maintained for long!"

Li Hao suddenly realized that if he wanted to remain in the ultimate state of immortality as he had done before, it was very likely that his consciousness would be swallowed up and dissipated in the world. This was just like the feeling he had when he had just realized the state of immortality.

But apart from that, the power he controls at this moment is several times stronger than before.

As he became an immortal, Li Hao’s spiritual consciousness extended to farther places.

"When those things come, quickly hide in the chariot and don't come out. They like fresh flesh like you the most."

At this time, the voice of the middle-aged soldier came, extremely cold and carrying an unquestionable order.

He seemed like a different person, emitting a strong aura of murderous intent. It was as if the murderous energy condensed from thousands of years of fighting was released in an instant, like a peerless killing god with terrifying power.

Li Hao came back to his senses, his spiritual awareness extended to forty or fifty miles away, and he immediately felt gusts of strong wind sweeping over, as if some huge monster was flying towards him at a rapid speed.

Li Hao did not dare to delay and quickly followed the other party's instructions and hid in the bronze chariot.

As soon as he entered the bronze chariot, Li Hao noticed the situation inside. It was unexpectedly a different world. There was an extremely vast space in the carriage, like a vast square, which could accommodate a palace!
However, it was filled with bones, stacked neatly, and in front of the bones there were tomb names carved on stones.

Li Hao guessed that this was most likely done by the middle-aged soldier.

He did not bother to explore the details inside the chariot and extended his awareness outside the chariot.

The middle-aged soldier took a step forward, and the ancient sword in his hand turned, forming a sword flower and condensing a sword energy out of thin air. He stood in front of the chariot. His movements looked clean and neat, and there was a feeling that they were natural.

Li Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked in the direction of his gaze. He saw that the clouds in front had broken open, and a ferocious monster as big as a bat appeared. Its dark red veins were attached to the fascia of its wings like earthworms. Its body was bald and hairless, with claws like a dragon and a long tail like a giant python, covered with spikes.

As soon as the demon appeared, Li Hao felt a suffocating feeling of oppression.

It was a pressure far beyond that of the Supreme Saints such as Yuanzu, like a wild and ferocious beast, with monstrous evil thoughts all over its body.

Li Hao finally understood where the evil thoughts that permeated the surrounding void came from. It turned out that this demon was the source.

"Humph!"

When the middle-aged soldiers saw this demon, their eyes were cold, and even revealed a bit of bloodthirsty murderous intent.

Without saying a word, he suddenly swung his sword and attacked. His figure was as fast as lightning, approaching the opponent in an instant, and the sword slashed out angrily.

His movements are extremely concise, and every gesture gives a feeling of going straight to the origin. His movements look extremely simple, but they contain terrible lethality.

Bang!
The moment the sword flashed, it seemed to accelerate suddenly, transcending time, and the sword tip had already hit the target at the same time as it was swung.

A huge gap suddenly appeared in the chest and abdomen of the demon, and black blood spurted out. It let out an angry roar and emitted a thick black fog that was about to cover the middle-aged soldier.

But before the black fog could surround him, the middle-aged soldier cut it apart with a sword, and then fought with it in close combat.

"What a strong swordsmanship!"

Li Hao watched the middle-aged soldiers fighting. He couldn't understand their body movements, but he could feel their sword skills. They were extremely terrifying and natural. It seemed that this was the real swordsmanship and the true meaning of kendo.

"This is definitely not a tenth-level swordsmanship, it may even be higher..."

Li Hao was deeply attracted by the middle-aged soldier's swordsmanship. The power he unleashed was enough to shake the earth. The aftermath alone made Li Hao feel extremely dangerous. If he was touched, he might get hurt even if he tried his best to resist.

"This black mist..."

Li Hao was watching the fight, but suddenly he felt pain in his eyes, as if pepper water had been rubbed into his eyes, causing a burning and stinging sensation.

He was horrified to find that black bloodshot appeared on his eyeballs, as if there was some kind of pollution and deformation in his body.

"What kind of attack is this?"

Li Hao quickly closed his eyes, but his eyeballs still hurt. He felt that even if his eyes were dug out, the regenerated eyeballs would still hurt. This was beyond his understanding.

"Don't stare at it. That is the beast's strongest attack. It can devour the soul and act directly on the soul."

At this moment, the voice of the middle-aged soldier suddenly sounded in Li Hao's mind.

Immediately afterwards, a sword light appeared in Li Hao's mind.

The sword light slashed down at high speed, cutting off the darkness before its eyes.

The stinging sensation suddenly eased and soon disappeared. Li Hao opened his eyes again, but only took a quick glance at the battle site and saw the middle-aged soldier and the demon fighting in the black fog.

The black fog surrounded the middle-aged soldier, but could not get close to him as he was wiped out by the sword energy around him.

Li Hao didn't dare to stare at it for too long, but just glanced at it from time to time, but he was shocked in his heart.

He was able to kill Hun Tian, ​​and his combat power was already at the saint level, but he didn’t even have the qualifications to watch the battle carefully. Is this a battle at the level of immortals and gods?

As the violent shock sound came, Li Hao saw that the middle-aged soldiers gradually gained the upper hand, leaving scars on the demon's body. These scars seemed unable to heal, and blood continued to seep out. The demon let out a shrill scream, as if roaring violently.

Li Hao glanced carefully from time to time, and suddenly, a warning sign arose in his heart.

"Be careful, there are a lot of third-level ancient demons coming!"

The middle-aged soldier's voice suddenly rang in Li Hao's mind.

Li Hao's face changed slightly, knowing the source of the danger. He looked around and saw seven or eight huge and ferocious figures flying over from dozens of miles away. Their bodies were like bats, hundreds of feet long, but their bodies were different in fatness and thinness. Some had twisted wings, and some had broken wings, as if they were contaminated by something.

They are of the same species as the demon that the middle-aged soldier was fighting, but theirs is much smaller and less powerful.

Li Hao took a closer look and was suddenly a little shocked. The third-level ancient demon mentioned by the middle-aged soldier had a holy domain hidden outside his body. Its power was like that of the supreme saints such as Hun Tian and Long Sheng!
These seven or eight third-level ancient demons came to the battlefield, glanced at the fighting direction of the middle-aged soldiers, then looked around, and soon their eyes were locked on the bronze chariot.

Li Hao, who was hiding in the bronze chariot, felt that his sight seemed to be connected with those third-level ancient demons, and they were aware of each other.

"Oops, it seems to be directed at me."

Li Hao's face changed and he took out the sharp broken knife, ready to attack at any time.

With a whistling sound, seven or eight third-level ancient demons immediately rushed to the front of the bronze chariot, but before they could make a move, the sword energy suspended outside the bronze chariot suddenly shot out.

The sword energy rolled up with a thunderous sound, rapidly crossing the void and piercing the bodies of the three ancient demons.

The ancient demon was pierced by the sword energy, but his body was like ice and snow, and it disintegrated and melted between heaven and earth, and his breath was also annihilated.

The rest of the ancient demons were frightened and stopped in a hurry, but the sword energy dissipated after piercing through three ancient demons. They looked cautiously at the middle-aged soldiers in the distance, and seeing that the other party was entangled by their leader and unable to split themselves, they immediately swooped towards the bronze chariot.

Before getting close, Li Hao felt a series of holy domains looming over him.

At the same time, a strong fishy smell diffused.

Li Hao's face changed slightly. He knew that it was useless to continue to be a coward. If he stayed in the chariot, he would be caught in a trap.

"Don't come out, a mere third-level ancient demon can't break the chariot's immortal formation!"

The voice of the middle-aged soldier sounded in Li Hao's mind.

The opponent was still paying attention to the situation here while fighting fiercely. Li Hao paused when he heard this, and couldn't help feeling a little grateful.

At this time, a series of holy lands fell on the bronze chariot. The strange beasts carved on the chariot seemed to be resurrected and roared. A light array enveloped the chariot and covered the holy lands.

The roar of the strange beast made the approaching ancient demons fearful and they retreated a little, but soon they pounced again and used the Holy Land to continuously dissipate the light array on the chariot.

Li Hao felt that this light array contained a power beyond the Holy Path, but this power seemed very weak. Under the consumption of these ancient demons, although it might not be damaged, it would be consumed again.

Li Hao turned his head and looked at the middle-aged soldier, and found that the thousand-foot-long demon was covered with scars, but it was even more ferocious. The middle-aged soldier still acted calmly and suppressed it completely.

call!
A strong wind suddenly blew up in front of them, and those ancient demons brought wind, thunder, and dust to surround the bronze chariot, trying to overturn it, but there was a force on the battlefield that made them unable to shake.

"Kill me!"

Li Hao did not stand idly by anymore. He suddenly took out the broken sword, rushed out of the bronze chariot, and slashed at the nearest ancient demon.

The ancient demon seemed to have not expected that Li Hao would dare to attack it. It was caught off guard, and the broken knife was extremely sharp, so it pierced through its body in one go.

However, after its body was pierced and torn, it healed in the blink of an eye.

Li Hao’s attack could not prevent the injuries from healing like the middle-aged soldiers.

Li Hao was not discouraged by this. Instead, he used his soul to control the broken knife, continuing to pierce the bodies of these ancient demons and moving quickly inside their bodies.

Bang!
An ancient demon roared and suddenly used its holy domain to hit the broken knife.

Li Hao felt his soul tremble slightly, and there was a buzzing sensation in his brain, which was a bit uncomfortable, but he gritted his teeth and endured it, using the attributes of Feiduan and Canggong on the broken sword, doubling his attack range and making the traces of the broken sword disappear, appearing and disappearing from time to time, making it extremely difficult to detect.

Li Hao had previously discovered that his panel attributes were still effective against the Supreme Saint.

These ancient demons in front of them are not as scary as the one fighting with the middle-aged soldier, they are only at the saint level.

kill!

Li Hao squatted on the board of the bronze chariot, and used all his strength to control the broken sword to slash at several ancient demons.

The broken knife was still as sharp as ever and easily pierced through the ancient demon's body. However, because it had no other power, the torn wounds healed quickly. Apart from causing the ancient demon pain, the killing power was not great.

For them, who can be reborn by dripping blood, this kind of wound that can be healed is not even considered an injury.

They no longer dodged Li Hao's broken sword, but used their holy land to continuously hit the bronze chariot, consuming the power of the light array.

Li Hao used the broken knife to cut their bodies again and again. These ancient demons did not notice that the parts Li Hao cut kept changing, from the head, eyeballs, to the chest, wings, tail and so on.

Sometimes the broken knife would stick to their bodies, cutting through their flesh and blood.

Apart from feeling the pain, the ancient demon's injuries healed quickly and he did not take it seriously. He just wanted to break the light array and then take out Li Hao and eat him.

Without the impact and influence of the Holy Land, Li Hao manipulated the broken knife faster and faster, and his eyes became more and more focused, like an extremely professional top chef, staring at his ingredients in front of the chopping board.

With the blade in hand and looking at the food, before the knife is cut, the palm seems to be gently feeling the texture, bones and other lines of the food.

With each cut, Li Hao could no longer count how many times he had pierced their bodies with the broken knife, but in Li Hao's mind, a fictional body of an ancient demon was gradually filling up.

The number of bones, flesh, and veins in his body all became clear in Li Hao's mind.

When the entire ancient demon emerged, Li Hao's eyes suddenly burst into an extremely bright light.

Several ancient demons that were constantly attacking the light array seemed to suddenly realize something and had an inexplicable feeling of uneasiness.

"Bone removal!"

Li Hao whispered.

The broken knife in his hand suddenly spun rapidly, like a stone hitting the water, drawing a light and agile arc, and passed by the skull of an ancient demon, passing through it extremely smoothly and quickly, separating its bones and flesh in an instant.

In an instant, in less than a breath of time, the ancient demon's body turned into a corpse.

The body falls into death!

In just a moment, all his organs were destroyed and his flesh and bones were separated.

But for the ancient demon, this does not mean death. Its soul is still there, but its physical body is dead at this moment, and the soul and body are automatically separated.

When his soul was about to fit into his body to heal, Li Hao's soul turned into a blade and slashed out suddenly. At the same time, on the other side, he raised his hand and took in the body that had turned into a corpse.

"Roar!"

The ancient demon suddenly let out a sharp roar, realizing the danger of death. The other ancient demons also noticed the change and hurriedly covered the corpse with their holy domain to prevent it from being taken away by Li Hao. If they were all destroyed by then, the physical body would be completely ruined.

Although one can be reborn with a drop of blood, if even a drop of blood is gone, one cannot be reborn again and can only rely on the primordial spirit to exist.

Li Hao's power to control objects was blocked by several holy domains. His soul turned into a sharp blade and slashed at the ancient demon's soul, trying to kill it.

But the opponent's soul suddenly emitted a dark light. As soon as Li Hao's soul touched the dark light, he felt waves of tearing pain and strong corrosive force. His soul seemed to be melting!
"What kind of attack is this?"

Li Hao's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly withdrew his soul. In just a moment, his soul became much weaker and he was injured.

"Be careful, this ancient demon specializes in devouring souls and is extremely destructive to the spirit."

The middle-aged soldier's voice rang in Li Hao's mind, revealing a bit of surprise and approval, saying:
"Just hold on, I'll end the fight right away!"

Upon hearing this, Li Hao looked over there and discovered that the big monster was already fleeing, while the middle-aged soldier was chasing after it.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and did not dare to sacrifice his soul again. Instead, he controlled the broken knife again and slashed at the bodies of other ancient demons.

The ancient demon got a chance to catch its breath, and its soul quickly attached itself to its flesh body, quickly healing it and regaining vitality from the dead.

Li Hao's broken knife killed other ancient demons. In a blink of an eye, the broken knife was like a silky scalpel, quickly blocking the life of the demon's body and turning it into a corpse.

The soul of another ancient demon was also forced to leave, and the other ancient demons hurriedly used the holy land to protect its body and allow its soul to return.

Seeing this, Li Hao could only use his broken knife to kill them again and again, forcing them to switch from offense to defense.

These ancient demons all have the power of a saint, and they protect each other, so it is almost unrealistic for Li Hao to kill them.

If he fights alone, he still has some chance, but Li Hao is not in a hurry. He just needs to delay and wait for the middle-aged soldiers to come back.

As his broken knife continued to cut, the bodies of these ancient demons were killed by Li Hao again and again. The broken knife was too fast. They had now realized how terrifying the broken knife was and wanted to stop and dodge it, but it was too late.

In just a moment, Candao was able to kill their bodies. Only then did they realize that the previous attack from the human race was not from the clown, but was an exploration of their bodies.

But it was too late to regret now. They were dodging and protecting each other and had no time to attack the bronze chariot.

After attacking for a while, suddenly, a few ancient demons seemed to realize something, stopped abruptly, looked in one direction, and then fled in the opposite direction at full speed in panic.

"It's too late to leave now!"

The voice of the middle-aged soldier arrived, this time it was not transmitted, but sounded from the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a sword shadow suddenly came from a distance and pierced through the body of one of the ancient demons.

The ancient demon was pierced, and his body collapsed on the spot, shattered into black mist, and annihilated between heaven and earth.

Afterwards, the figure of the middle-aged soldier took a step forward and landed outside the bronze chariot. He swung the ancient sword in his hand casually, and a terrifying sword light slashed out, as bright as the Milky Way, and slashed several ancient demons.

The sword light contained terrifying power. Several ancient demons were struck by it and collapsed and annihilated on the spot with screams.

The middle-aged soldier glanced at it, sneered, then put away his sword and landed in front of the bronze chariot.

"These beasts are cunning and stupid, and they come here to die again and again."

The middle-aged soldier seemed to be talking to himself. After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Hao on the board, with a smile in his eyes, and said:

"What kind of means did you use to kill them in one blow? You figured out their body structure in just such a short fight?"

Li Hao was relieved to see him coming back, and said with a smile: "I am a cook. Although these things are strange, they are just ingredients in my eyes. It is inevitable to understand their body structure and various parts when processing ingredients. It is a pity that I don't have the opportunity to cook and taste each part one by one." The middle-aged soldier was stunned when he heard this. It took him a few seconds to come back to his senses and he couldn't help but say:
"You are such a wonderful person."

He casually stuck the ancient sword into the ground, wiped the blood off his body, glanced at the broken knife in Li Hao's hand, and said:

"Let me see this."

Li Hao was not stingy and gave it to him generously.

The middle-aged soldier took the broken knife in his hand and looked at it, narrowing his eyes slightly, and said:

"It turned out to be a fragment of a top-notch Taoist weapon. It was almost an immortal weapon. What a pity."

After saying that, he threw it back to Li Hao, looked around, and said, "Unfortunately, the battle that year was too tragic. The weapons here are basically all damaged. Some weapons have been damaged at the root and can't withstand the decay of time. They are useless. Otherwise, you would have been able to pick up a lot of immortal weapons."

Li Hao thought of the many weapons he saw next to the corpses along the way, all of which had lost their luster, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

However, the grade of this broken sword is actually a top-level imperial weapon, no wonder it is so sharp.

"The top imperial weapon should be the Nine Tribulations Imperial Weapon. It requires treasures from heaven and earth, more than 5,000 pieces..."

Li Hao thought to himself that even if the entire Holy Land was searched thoroughly, it was still unknown whether he could find so many treasures from heaven and earth.

In other words, even if all the power of the holy lands is used up, it may not be possible to cultivate a Nine Tribulations Emperor Weapon!
"You are quite courageous. You actually dared to take the initiative to attack. This has alleviated some of the loss of the chariot's power."

The middle-aged soldier spoke to Li Hao with a smile on his face, which was a little more natural and gentler than before. It seemed that as he spoke more and more, his expression was no longer as rigid as before, and he adapted to the conversation.

"Senior, did you fight against these ancient demons back then?"

Li Hao asked.

The middle-aged soldier nodded slightly, but his expression was much more solemn, and said: "These things devour souls. Since the collapse of the reincarnation cycle, they have escaped from the cracks and brought disaster to the entire real world. The decline of the real world now is inseparable from them."

Li Hao was shocked and asked, "The real world you mentioned is the fairyland here?"

"The Immortal Realm? We never call it the Immortal Realm. This is the real world, the real world where the heaven and earth originated."

The middle-aged soldier walked aside, sat back beside the chariot's wheel tracks, leaned against them, wiped the blood off the blade of his sword, and said:
"The world you lived in before was a fake world. It was a world created by the Immortal Emperor. You can think of it as the Dao Realm of the Immortal Emperor!"

At this point, he sighed, looked into the distance, his eyes filled with nostalgia and sadness, and said:

"When the ancient demon catastrophe came, the major immortal sects in the real world fought hard on the front line. The Immortal Emperor sent his descendants and disciples to his pseudo-world for protection, and he went to resist the demon god among the ancient demons..."

"The Immortal Emperor has fallen, and the Pseudo Realm has also declined and sealed itself off."

He pulled up a light smile and said, "But we cultivators, how can we live in disgrace? Not long after the Immortal Emperor left, his disciples and descendants fought their way out of the pseudo-world and came to this battlefield. They fought with us and blocked the road to the pseudo-world to preserve the fire. The skeletons you saw on the way here are the descendants of the Immortal Emperor, including his disciples..."

Li Hao was stunned. The other party did not play any tricks. After just a few words, the vast and magnificent battlefield of ancient times seemed to emerge before his eyes.

The immortals and gods fought bloody battles to kill the ancient demon.

"Is this the reason why the Immortal God Road has disappeared? I see..."

Li Hao understood. No wonder all the saints couldn't find the road to immortality. It turned out that it was deliberately blocked.

The gods and immortals have disappeared. It turns out that they all came to this real world to participate in the war and fight against the ancient demons.

All this was beyond Li Hao's imagination and expectations. He thought that by embarking on the path of immortals and gods, he would come to the vast and powerful world of immortals and gods, a place full of vitality, like the realm of immortals and gods. Unexpectedly, this place was baptized by catastrophe and countless immortals and gods fell.

"Senior, these ancient demons can actually sweep across the entire True World. Didn't we notice them in advance when they sprouted?"

Li Hao's mind turned, and he asked in confusion.

If this real world is ruled by immortals and gods, and this ancient demon is an alien race, they should be able to foresee the danger in advance and not allow it to grow.

"The collapse of the cycle of reincarnation released them. No one could have predicted it. Everything happened too suddenly..."

The middle-aged soldier shook his head slightly, looked at Li Hao, and said: "Now you also know the situation of this real world, are you still yearning for it? You should go back to the Emperor's Disaster Fake World. Although there is a gap in the Xuanpin Gate, it can still hold off the ancient demons, unless the great leader of the ancient demons comes in person."

Li Hao smiled bitterly and said, "Senior, I was really being chased and forced to come here. They should still be guarding the door now."

The middle-aged soldier was slightly speechless, then he rubbed his head and said, "I am a little confused. I actually forgot what I just said."

As he spoke, he sighed and said, "It's a pity that I can't pass through the Xuanpin Gate, otherwise the blockade there will be invalidated. Otherwise, I can accompany you there."

He looked at the sword in his hand again and shook his head slightly. This was his only weapon. If he had a second one, he could lend it to Li Hao to kill the enemy.

"In that case, you can only wait to die here with me."

The middle-aged soldier smiled, without sadness or self-mockery, but with a smile of relief:

"If I die in battle someday, you can take this sword with you. If you are still alive, you can take this sword and go back. By then, I believe no one in that fake world will be your opponent."

hum!
The sword in his hand hummed softly, as if telling something.

The middle-aged soldier was stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter and said, "Don't be stubborn. It's rare for someone to come here. If I die, it's useless for you to stay with me. It's good enough if one of us can survive."

The sword edge groaned again and began to tremble, as if struggling.

Seeing this, the middle-aged soldier quickly comforted him, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this."

Li Hao took a look at the sword in his hand and knew that it was a magic weapon, but he was not greedy. This sword had accompanied this soldier in fighting here for countless years. The relationship between master and servant was deep and incomparable.

"Senior, are you the only one left here? Why don't you leave?"

Li Hao asked.

The middle-aged soldier shook his head slightly and said, "From what I can see now, I am the only one left. I want to leave... but this ancient road is blocked. There are still many remaining ancient demons wandering around. With my current strength, I can't kill them."

Li Hao couldn't help but look into the distance, but unfortunately, even though he had become an immortal, he could only see less than a hundred miles away.

Are there ancient demons like this ahead?
"Is there no other way?"

Li Hao asked, and then he felt that he had said nonsense.

If there was another way, the other party would have left long ago.

The middle-aged soldier shook his head slightly and said, "There is no way out. The only way left for me now is to shed my last drop of blood for the Heavenly Disaster Immortal Emperor and guard the Xuanpin Gate for him as long as I can."

Li Hao was silent.

I didn't expect that even though I had walked out of this immortal road, it would be blocked again.

"In that case, I will accompany you, Senior."

Li Hao jumped down from the car and sat down beside him, saying with a smile: "At least there are two of us, so we can talk and relieve boredom."

The middle-aged soldier was stunned. He thought Li Hao would be discouraged and desperate after hearing such a situation, but he didn't expect that he could still laugh.

Moreover, he could see that Li Hao was extremely honest and had a free and easy personality.

"You are open-minded."

The middle-aged soldier couldn't help but laugh. He had been fighting here for countless years and had long since become indifferent to life and death. When he died on that day, he felt that his heart would be extremely calm because he had already made such preparations countless times.

"Pessimism can't change it, so it's better to be happy in a sad environment, at least it can make you feel happier."

Li Hao said with a smile.

The middle-aged soldier thought about it, nodded seriously and said: "Not bad!"

"Senior, do these ancient demons appear at any time, or do they come here regularly? They know you are here, so why don't they come and kill me directly?"

Li Hao asked curiously.

The other party said that this ancient road was blocked by ancient demons and could not be killed. The number and strength of the ancient demons must be greater than his.

"Heh, I was targeted by one of the ancient demons and became its prey. Before it dies, other ancient demons will not come here. They regard me as food and have already distributed it."

The middle-aged soldier said with a sneer.

"Is it the ancient demon from before?"

"Yes, it is a first-level ancient demon, with the same strength as a True Immortal. Coupled with the unique innate secret method of the ancient demon clan to devour souls, ordinary True Immortals may not be its opponent."

The middle-aged soldier's eyes were deep, and he said: "There are at least a dozen ancient demons like this on this road, but they are farther away. And where there are usually more than a dozen first-level ancient demons, there is also a small chance that there will be an ancient demon leader in charge..."

At this point, the dark color in his eyes faded away, and he said calmly, "So, I am just waiting to die here. I was able to kill the ancient demon just now, but I know that if I kill it, there will be another one. In fact, I have killed seven before it. In my current state, I can't kill more. I will just wait and see."

Li Hao understood that this was to keep the ancient demon alive and use it as a door to block the attacks of other ancient demons.

Li Hao asked some more questions about the ancient demons, and learned from them the power divisions of the ancient demons.

The third-order ancient demon he just encountered was the weakest ancient demon, but he was also a perfect saint and could rival the Supreme Saint.

The second-order ancient demon is already between the limit of the Supreme Saint and the True Immortal.

Ordinary True Immortals will be eaten by a first-level ancient demon. Only middle-aged soldiers, who are strong among the True Immortals, can kill it.

"The weakest third-order ancient demon is comparable to the Supreme Saint. The starting point of this ancient demon race is too high." Li Hao said.

Even the most powerful races in the world, such as the Dragon Clan and the Ancient Phoenix, are not so exaggerated.

"The ancient demons do not belong to the race of all things in the universe. They came from the cycle of reincarnation. They are not only powerful and terrifying, but also grow at an extremely exaggerated speed. Otherwise, they would not have caused the real world to face a catastrophe..."

The middle-aged soldier shook his head slightly, as if he didn't want to talk about it anymore. His flesh and blood slowly withered and shrank, and he said to Li Hao:

"In order to preserve my strength, I usually keep my divine blood inward. Don't scare me."

His flesh shrank and shrank, and soon his bones were exposed, returning to his previous state.

Li Hao shook his head and glanced around. The previous third-level ancient demons were directly annihilated after being killed by the opponent. Not even their corpses were left. It was a pity.

"Senior, next time there are ancient demons coming, can you leave their bodies intact?"

Li Hao said.

The middle-aged soldier was a little surprised and asked, "Why, do you feel it's cruel and soft-hearted?"

"I am greedy."

Li Hao said: "Senior, have you forgotten that I am a cook?"

"..."

The middle-aged soldier stared at him with his hollow eyes for a while before he said, "Your soul life span is no more than sixty years. You have cultivated to this level, and you say you are a cook?"

"The cultivation was purely an accident."

Li Hao said angrily.

He had never practiced seriously at all, except for comprehending the ultimate state of mind.

Perhaps it was this mentality that enabled him to easily comprehend the sixth realm.

The middle-aged soldier was speechless and said, "Okay, I'll save some for you next time I have a chance. I want to try it. Don't let me down then."

"Thank you very much, senior. I will definitely not let you down."

Li Hao laughed.

The middle-aged soldier didn't say anything more and rested against the wheel tracks.

Seeing this, Li Hao did not disturb him anymore. He walked to the side and released a series of weak fishing lines that extended out. He wanted to set up fishing nets around to detect the ancient demon and use them as alarm lines.

Although the middle-aged soldier was resting, his mind was not completely asleep. He was watching Li Hao's every move. Seeing Li Hao laying down extremely obscure energy lines with extremely special methods, he couldn't help but feel interesting and curious.

Countless years have passed, could it be that the cultivation system in the pseudo-world has become so different?
After the fishing line was laid out, Li Hao called up the panel and glanced at the other party first. Finding no reaction, he confirmed that the other party couldn't see the panel either.

Previously, he killed the Saint Hun Tian and entered the Dao of Cooking, reaching the tenth level.

Li Hao obtained a heart to enter the Tao, and some art points.

But now he has plenty of artistic skills, but it is mainly difficult to cultivate his state of mind.

"Previously, the flesh entered the Dao, and the flesh became holy. Now, should we choose the Imperial Dao or the Sword Dao?"

Li Hao stared at the panel, his eyes lingering on the Nine-Section Imperial Way and the Nine-Section Sword Way.

The improvement of the way of controlling will affect the power of the soul and the power of controlling objects, including consciousness, soul, etc.

Kendo, on the other hand, can directly improve combat power that is visible to the naked eye.

Originally, Li Hao planned to use his second heart in the way of swordsmanship to take his swordsmanship to a higher level.

But now that he was on this ancient road from outer space, facing the ancient demon that might appear at any time, Li Hao was a little hesitant.

In the battle just now, Li Hao felt the characteristics of the ancient demon. Even though his spiritual power had been cultivated to the highest level, he could still be hurt by the opponent.

“If my soul can continue to improve, my power to control objects will also improve, and I can control the broken sword even faster. Even if I am besieged by more than a dozen third-level ancient demons at the same time, I can quickly kill them with my physical bodies, making them too tired to defend themselves and unable to attack me.”

Li Hao's eyes flickered.

After much deliberation, he chose the Imperial Path.

When you have advanced to the tenth level in fishing or chess, it won’t be too late to apply it in kendo.

Although swordsmanship can improve combat power, he currently has no suitable weapon. Even if his swordsmanship is more powerful, he cannot destroy the ancient demon with one sword.

If you can't kill with one sword, the opponent will be reborn, so it's all in vain.

After all, although the tenth level of swordsmanship is powerful, it is only at the level of becoming a saint.

Having made up his mind, Li Hao no longer hesitated.

With the inlay of the Heart of Cooking, Li Hao's Imperial Dao can finally be improved again.

[Congratulations, your Imperial Way has been upgraded to the tenth level]

Fonts jumped out before my eyes.

At the same time, Li Hao suddenly felt countless messages coming in, and the world before his eyes changed drastically.

Countless colors appeared and disappeared, and at the same time, the gray mist that could be seen in front of the eyes seemed to become clearer.

His extended spiritual consciousness expanded rapidly in an instant, from ten miles to dozens of miles, and in the blink of an eye, it reached hundreds of miles, and it was still continuing to extend.

The comprehension of the tenth level of the Imperial Dao in his mind caused Li Hao's body to transform instinctively, and during this change, a low roar suddenly came from above Li Hao's head.

Waves of calamity energy emerged, and calamity clouds descended behind the gray haze, dispersing the haze.

"Ok?"

The middle-aged soldier leaning on the wheel track was startled by this scene. A pair of flesh and blood eyes suddenly grew in his eyes, and he looked at the calamity clouds in the sky with some astonishment.

Is this, the Holy Tribulation?
He looked at Li Hao who was sitting cross-legged not far away and was a little surprised. This was the first time he had seen such a situation. He could see that Li Hao had become a saint, and the three powers of sacrifice, incense, and the ultimate way were combined into one.

The extreme route was extremely secretive, yet it had actually spread out in the pseudo world.

But he has already cultivated the three holy paths, and now he can still invite the holy calamity?

Soon, the middle-aged soldiers noticed the subtle differences in the calamity cloud, and immediately discovered that it was a sacrificial calamity cloud!

"You actually comprehended a second kind of entry-level power?"

Shock flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged soldier. He had seen countless evildoers. In the immortal sects of the real world, there were many peerless geniuses who were born with immortal bones, but in the face of such a soul lifespan, it was extremely rare to reach this level.

Hunshou, who is less than sixty years old, actually mastered two sacrificial methods.
