The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 434: Incense God Realm
Under everyone's gaze, Li Hao came to the Zhenzun Tower again.

After crossing the tower gate, darkness enveloped him like a tide. When he opened his eyes again, Li Hao was standing on the second floor.

Dark pillars stood before him, and he was not teleported directly to the battlefield.

Li Hao's eyes flickered slightly, and he had thoughts of fighting in his mind. After a little preparation, he reached out and touched the pillar.

In an instant, the pillar sucked his body in like water.

The scene before my eyes changed, and the darkness around me fluttered and faded away like pieces of paper. The vast but desolate world appeared before my eyes like a magnificent painting, and the wind swept in from all directions.

The pillar was suspended in the air, standing tall. The dark purple light quickly condensed on the pillar and concentrated on one point. Li Hao's projection was slowly condensing.

When the projection was about to take shape, Li Hao quickly called up the panel, selected the extraordinary chess mind, and embedded it into the body movement path.

Following the prompt on the panel, confirmed... Li Hao felt an ethereal thought of Tao enveloping him and descending, followed by a vast amount of overwhelming information pouring into his mind.

In an instant, his thoughts seemed to fall into chaos, time seemed to stop, and countless light and shadow memories, as well as the inheritance of Tao sound, emerged before his eyes.

It seemed like decades or hundreds of years had passed, but when Li Hao came to his senses, it seemed like only a moment had passed in the outside world.

The projection had already taken shape, but it did not attack Li Hao immediately. Instead, it bowed slightly and then made a gesture of invitation, the same as last time.

Li Hao raised his head slightly, and saw that calamity clouds had gathered in the sky above his head without him knowing when.

As his extraordinary chess mind was embedded, he also chose to add points at the same time.

The way of body movement, ten stages.

Sacrifice to the way and enter the holy realm!

What Li Hao didn't expect was that here he would actually attract calamity clouds. Could it be that this place was also a real world, rather than a fictional illusion?

While he was thinking, the calamity cloud continued to condense and become heavier. In front of him, the projection also looked up, but did not seem to take it seriously. His whole body was emitting dazzling golden light, and his hair quickly turned silver-white, revealing all his ultimate power.

At this moment, behind the projection, the Dharma images of heaven and earth emerged, and his own size suddenly increased, entering the state of Dharma images of heaven and earth.

Seeing this, Li Hao did not dare to delay and quickly raised his combat state to the peak.

His silver hair flew, his size expanded rapidly, and the laws of heaven and earth were revealed. As he merged with the laws of heaven and earth, a boundless power swept out, like an ancient giant god of the wilderness!

Two towering figures appeared, but the momentum of their projections was stronger than that of Li Hao. The pressure they exuded alone caused the calamity clouds in the sky to fluctuate violently as if they were boiling, as if they were about to be shaken apart.

This calamity cloud was originally a test of the Way of Sacrifice, but for Li Hao today, he could disperse it with a wave of his hand.

Li Hao also ignored the calamity cloud and was fully prepared for the projection in front of him. Last time when he was hiding in Guixu, he was broken by the opponent's use of the power of heaven and earth. Here he could not rely on Guixu to delay the battle, and victory or defeat would be decided in a flash.

But now, with the tenth level of body movement skills, Li Hao didn’t know if he could maneuver and give himself a chance to break the impasse.

Up.

Just as Li Hao entered the fighting stance, the projected attack suddenly approached and fell.

The vast power of heaven and earth suddenly gathered, and under the control of the unimaginable terrifying power of the soul, it instantly condensed into a sword energy that could cut through the sky and the earth, and fell towards Li Hao on the head.

This sword was like a violent storm accompanied by a whistling sound, and thunders from the gods and ghosts of heaven and earth rang out. The boundless power of the sky was applied to the sword, pressing down the entire sky and the earth, causing them to collapse!
Li Hao's body was shaking like a small boat on the sea, which could collapse at any time, but he suddenly displayed the appearance of Yama. The ancient and majestic Yama of the real world condensed in the black flames and emerged behind the young man, as if to hold up the entire collapsing sky.

A black Yama blade was like a sword, condensed in his hand. Li Hao also mobilized the power of heaven and earth to the extreme, but he did not release it. Instead, at the moment when the sword was approaching, his figure suddenly shuttled away like a ghost, avoiding the sword like a butterfly flying through flowers.

He combined the Guixu Extreme Realm and the Tiandi Wuzong Body Technique at the same time, combining the real and the fake, but he could only barely avoid the sword. The Yan Blade in his hand, which was ready to strike, suddenly slashed out a thousand miles of black light, as if to split the sky and the earth, and roared towards the projection.

There was a hint of surprise in the eyes of the projection, as if he had not expected that Li Hao's body skills would suddenly reach such a level, but when he thought of the sacrificial calamity cloud, he seemed to understand. The projection's expression was not as numb as the first level. Instead, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and a hint of appreciation appeared in his eyes.

Then, he swung the shuriken and the image of Yama also appeared behind him.

With the strength of five times the original spirit, the Yama image displayed by the opponent seemed to exceed the level of the true meaning of the origin and reach a more extreme realm.

Therefore, the ferocious posture of the Yama image became more majestic and majestic, and exuded more power.

The same black sword light slashed out, although it was launched later and with new force, it split Li Hao's sword light that was ready to be launched into two halves, like peeling a piece of black sugarcane.

Li Hao's eyes deepened. This five-fold gap was beyond his expectations, but he did not stop. After one sword was broken, he continued to attack with swords, surrounding his body like twinkling stars, attacking from all angles.

The projection stood there safely, swinging the sword with ease, as if he was interested in practicing with Li Hao, or perhaps he wanted to see Li Hao's abilities.

He easily dismantled Li Hao's all-out attack with a casual move.

Li Hao became more and more frightened as the fight went on. The five-fold gap made him feel like a mayfly trying to shake a tree. The tenth-level improvement in his body movement skills could not bring about a qualitative change. The opponent's soul was strong enough to capture his body movements, so all his attacks were seen through, and he had enough reaction to parry them.

Fortunately, this projection is very different from the first layer. It does not have a strong desire to attack, but instead seems to have its own consciousness.

Seeing that all the attacks were broken down, the layout that Li Hao had quietly left behind was almost completed. Finally, when the chess game of Qiankun was set up, Li Hao's eyes were slightly fierce. Success or failure depended on this one move!
Bang!
He suddenly revealed a flaw on purpose and slashed out with his sword, as if his body was unstable and he was too close to the opponent.

This is the best opportunity to attack, and attacking will inevitably lead to weak defense.

But the projection looked at Li Hao with a playful look in its eyes, and did not attack.

Li Hao's scalp numbed when he saw that look, and his heart sank. However, he did not give up and attacked again, revealing the flaw to verify.

This time, the projection suddenly swung the sword, and the moment Li Hao revealed a flaw, he swung the Yan Blade to kill him.

Li Hao's eyes brightened instantly, and the chess game of Qiankun around him was activated instantly. The dark lines and sword energy buried in the void were revealed in an instant, and gathered with the sword light in his hand. With a power several times greater than his own, he slashed towards the projection fiercely.

The dazzling sword light illuminated Li Hao's own eyes.

But at the same time, an even brighter light overshadowed Li Hao's sword energy.

Suddenly, sword energy appeared in the void and gathered in the hands of the projection. Then it condensed into an even sharper sword light, which slashed down as if it penetrated the heaven and earth.

Li Hao's footsteps froze in mid-air, his eyes were a little dull, and then they contracted deeply.

Is this also the chess game of heaven and earth?

The exact same moves and layout were all replicated!
Moreover, the opponent's power is stronger and more terrifying!
Li Hao suddenly thought that the opponent had casually swung out sword energy to block his attack. Was the layout also laid down by the sword energy at that time?
Li Hao was unable to detect the other party's method of laying hidden lines, and his skills in laying hidden lines seemed to be five times better than his own!
The dazzling sword light was approaching, on the edge of life and death and despair, Li Hao seemed to be suddenly awakened, his eyes suddenly burst into light, he pushed his body skills to the extreme, coordinated with Guixu, with the uninterrupted alternation of Guixu and body skills, in an instant he left an afterimage on the spot, and escaped thousands of miles away.

The ultimate body movement in that instant was beyond Li Hao's limit. When he avoided the range of the sword light and came to his senses, he could hardly believe that he had actually dodged the sword.

He was breathing heavily. Although the star veins in the sky provided him with endless power, he still felt drenched in cold sweat and mentally exhausted.

The projected sword energy cut through the mountains below and severed the earth. There was a rumbling sound, and water from rivers and lakes flowed back, forming a magnificent scene.

The sword missed and the projection was a little surprised. He looked at Li Hao, but attacked again.

Li Hao dodged quickly. At this time, the projection's attack became more and more fierce, and the frequency of the attack was constantly increasing, making it difficult for Li Hao to dodge.

The tenth level of body movement can only barely surpass the opponent's body movement, but the slightest mistake will result in instant death!
In this extreme escape, Li Hao didn't even have time to make another arrangement.

Is this the oppression brought by a five-fold gap? There is no chance to breathe!
Li Hao's heart was beating hard. He was unable to kill him even with his tenth-level body movement skills and the Qiankun chess game. Could anyone really complete such a challenge?

Li Hao thought of Wang Lao and the lonely figure in the fertile fields. His eyes kept flickering. While running away, because his body movements were too fast, many afterimages were left behind. However, under the pursuit of the projection, these afterimages were all shattered.

Shadow... Li Hao's eyes shook slightly.

Virtual, real...

He seemed to have grasped something vaguely, and many traces of writing appeared in his mind.

Painting requires the combination of form and meaning, with meaning being virtual and form being real.

Usually, master painters are able to master it perfectly, not to mention that Li Hao's paintings have already reached the level.

But at this moment, he felt another meaning from this reality and illusion.

Suddenly, a cold sword intent pierced Li Hao's back like a thorn. He woke up and saw the sword light approaching. He hurriedly swung his sword to block it.

Bang! The arm shook as if thousands of mountains were crashing down, and the body flew backwards like a piece of rotten grass.

After crashing into more than a dozen mountaintops, Li Hao was able to stabilize his body. He was covered in blood, but his divine blood state caused his healing ability to increase dramatically, and his wounds healed quickly.

At this time, the projection was approaching.

The breeze brushed the corners of his clothes, fluttering gently. He looked down at Li Hao like a god. Then, he raised his hand again and condensed a dazzling sword technique, like a sage pointing the way.

The sword pierced through the sky and fell like a finger lightly tapping the ground.

The sacrificial calamity clouds above his head quietly dissipated under the dazzling sword light, as if they were cut and shattered.

Li Hao's eyes were dazed and there was bitterness on his lips. He knew that this challenge was going to fail.

Moreover, if we fail this time, the next challenge will be more difficult, because when projected, the opponent will also be at the tenth level of body movement.

"This Immortal Emperor's test is really perverted..."

Li Hao muttered to himself.

He looked up to meet the sword, a strong wind blew in his face, and his body seemed to be shattered.

The old figure floated past him. He clenched his fists slightly, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

But suddenly, behind the sword light in front of him, there was a dazzling golden light, splashing down like a long golden river waterfall, and falling from the shattered calamity cloud like a torrent of quicksand.

Li Hao was stunned.

Before he could react, the golden light like quicksand quickly wrapped around and followed the sword light. It was like thousands of arms, compressing and covering the power of the sword light until it caught up with the sword light. When the sword light approached Li Hao, the light wrapped around Li Hao.

Time seems to be silent.

An extremely gentle force spread to Li Hao.

Li Hao seemed to be able to feel thousands and thousands of thoughts, prayers, and requests, like buzzing whispers, like ancient thunder, vibrating in his mind.

The invincible sword light fell on Li Hao's head, but could no longer fall. The power flowing like golden divine sand blocked the sword that dominated the world.

The ground around Li Hao collapsed bit by bit, and the originally flat ground turned into a steep peak in an instant!
And the top of the mountain is where Li Hao is.

The sword light dissipated, and the projection's eyes fixed, staring at Li Hao.

At this moment, there was no sword light in Li Hao's eyes. Only the countless golden sand-like powers gathered in front of him. He could feel an extremely gentle breath from it.

This is the power of incense!

Since arriving here, Li Hao has not seen any incense power, thinking that it has been forgotten or isolated outside. But now, the heavenly tribulation of offering sacrifices to the Dao seems to have broken through some kind of barrier, allowing the incense power to pass through the space barrier and come to him.

After five years of accumulation, Li Hao never expected that he could accumulate such a terrifyingly rich power of incense.

At this moment, his whole body was surrounded by the power of incense, like billions of hands surrounding him and protecting him.

Li Hao was a little stunned, feeling a deep throbbing in his heart.

At this moment, he was in the state of a giant body like the Heaven and Earth, and the power of the incense still wrapped around his whole body, like a golden mound of earth.

The power seeps through the pores all over the body and flows into the body.

Li Hao felt the incense power in his body becoming more and more surging and hot. Soon, like a container full of water, streams of warm power seeped out.

The incense power in his body continued to condense into sticks of incense, and eventually a golden divine light burst out from the smoke produced by the burning incense. The burning smoke actually formed a line of smoke incense!
The smoke from the incense was golden, hazy and mysterious.

Li Hao had some understanding. This should be the realm of the origin ancestor, the realm of incense and fire!

The transformation of this divine realm actually depends on the smoke from the burning of incense. When it becomes extremely dense, it will form divine incense. No wonder it takes countless years of collecting incense to achieve this!

As the golden sacred incense was lit, Li Hao clearly felt that the power of the incense flowing in his body became stronger than ever before, more than ten times stronger than before!
But this is only the power of incense. If converted into Li Hao's overall strength, it is only equivalent to an increase of 50%, less than double.

After all, the actual combat power that Li Hao unleashed, the power of incense is only a very small part of it.

This is also the reason why Li Hao was able to defeat Yuanzu, God King and others.

The power of heaven and earth transformed from the rich immortal power in his body alone is enough to compete with this divine realm of incense and fire.

If other saints had such a breakthrough, they would be able to reverse the situation in an instant, and even have the hope of passing the test of being a direct disciple on the third level of the Zhenzun Tower.

But for Li Hao, this little bit of power is not enough to change the current situation.

Compared to his own five-fold projection, this only slightly shortens the distance, but is meaningless.

but……

Li Hao thought of the power of the Three Saints.

Jidao, sacrifice, incense!

The three forces merged to form the prototype of the Way of Heaven.

The power of the embryonic form of the Way of Heaven is one of Li Hao's main sources of power.

At this moment, Li Hao felt as if possessed by a god, and had an extremely clear mind. He quickly transferred the power of the incense and divine realm into the prototype of the Heavenly Dao.

As the power of the Incense Divine Realm was ignited, the prototype of the Heavenly Dao was actually covered with a hazy golden luster. In an instant, the aura rose rapidly. Originally, the three forces were in opposition to each other, and the power of the Sacrifice Dao was the strongest. Now, the power of the Incense Divine Realm suppressed the other two forces.

The embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao was also covered in golden divine light, like a child of a god, and was changing and growing rapidly.

If he was just a baby before, he would be about seven or eight years old now.

The power and might it exudes is completely different from before.

After absorbing the power of the Incense Divine Realm, the power of the prototype of the Heavenly Dao rose rapidly, completely surpassing the previous prototype.

The difference in strength is just like their appearance. The difference between a seven or eight-year-old child and a baby in swaddling clothes is self-evident.

At this moment, the projection seemed to sense Li Hao's change and threat, his eyes became solemn, and he suddenly swooped down rapidly.

Its speed is frighteningly fast. It can teleport back and forth in an instant. The infinite power brought by the star veins in the sky allows it to squander it to its heart's content.

Whoosh!
The moment his figure approached, the "lone peak" under Li Hao's feet was already crumbling.

At this moment, Li Hao also raised his head and met the projection's cold eyes. They both felt that in this battle, they would give their all!

Draw your swords at the same time!

The power of heaven and earth around him was plundered in an instant and divided into two.

Li Hao suddenly discovered that his projection was not without flaws.

Although the projection's power is extremely strong, it still relies on the power of heaven and earth, and the power of heaven and earth nearby is limited. If it is squandered, no matter how much power there is, it will be difficult to exert it.

Now that they are plundering each other at the same time, the power of heaven and earth around them seems to be divided into two, which means that their strength is equal!
Just as Li Hao's eyes burst into light with strong confidence and hope, the projection looked indifferent, and his soul soared into the air. His soul power, which was five times greater than Li Hao's, allowed him to condense the power of heaven and earth in a larger area nearby.

In a blink of an eye, the power of the sword in his hand overwhelmed Li Hao.

Li Hao's expression froze slightly, and then a wolf-like light appeared in his eyes. There was no way to retreat. If he could not defeat it this time, he would have no chance to pass in the future, unless he was promoted to a true fairyland!
Fight!

Li Hao suddenly burst out the power of Tiandao's childhood and burned it directly to ignite Tiandao's true self to fight against the enemy!

The power of the Heavenly Dao burned fiercely in Li Hao's body, as if it wanted to fight to death with him. The blazing power covered the entire sky, and as Li Hao swung his sword, the clouds in the sky dissipated into the distance like a whale sucking water.

boom! !

The entire vast and wild world seemed to be shaking violently, as if a huge hand was grasping the entire world and shaking it.

Then there was a silent hum like a soundless hum.

The order of time seemed to be broken at this moment, and everything was still, but as a sword light suddenly broke through the illusion and slashed out, everything seemed to return to the real world.

Li Hao was covered in blood. His body, which was tens of thousands of feet long, was soaked in blood. Countless sword scars covered his body and were difficult to heal. At this moment, Li Hao concentrated all of this self-healing power and turned it into the last sword in his hand.

The sword light shuttled through the extreme realm of Guixu, and in an instant reached the depths of the broken sword light, piercing through the swaying hazy figure.

The sword light broke through his head, like a black silhouette, and the world fell silent.

Li Hao gasped for breath and waited for a long, long time, until the chaotic world in front of him that was shattered by the sword returned to normal again. He also saw the projection clearly. The opponent's head was broken, his soul was extinguished, and there was no breath on his body.

A dark purple light appeared on its body, flickering slightly, and the edge of its body was gradually dissipating like smoke.

Li Hao's heart, which had risen to his throat, finally fell back into his chest at this moment.

What followed was an indescribable feeling of tiredness that surged from all parts of the body. Even though he was nourished by the power of the star veins in the sky and his body was still full of strength, he felt as if he could not even stand steadily.

That last sword, borrowing the breath of Tiandao's childhood, touched the will of the Heavenly Venerable in the deepest part of the Immortal Realm, borrowed some power, integrated it into the sword, and killed the projected soul.

At this moment, his body fell down like a kite with a broken string.

The original plain had now become an abyss-like pit. After falling for a long time, Li Hao finally reached the bottom.

He slumped to the ground, but burst into laughter.

But after feeling the divine incense in his body, Li Hao slowly couldn't laugh anymore.

He sat on the ground, silent.

Five years have passed, and the outside world has not forgotten him. He has attracted so many worshippers, and I'm afraid that 90% of the people in the world believe in him.

This also means that other saints did not interfere in this matter.

Similarly, this is also an excellent signal. It seems that the heavens are no longer invaded by ancient demons!

Otherwise, if all the gods were extinct, there wouldn’t be so many incenses.

"Ying Xiaoxiao said at the beginning that to reach the ultimate divine realm, one must absorb at least half of the incense of the heavens. It seems that this is still conservative."

Li Hao's eyes flickered. The faith of all the heavens and the accumulation of five years finally made him become a god!
Although Yuanzu is the oldest saint, when he became a saint, the population of the heavens was far less than it is now.

At that time, there were natural disasters and man-made calamities, and demons were rampant. After Yuanzu became a saint, he absorbed incense from all the heavens and protected all the heavens, making peace in all places. As a result, the population multiplied more and more, leading to the current grand occasion in the heavens.

As the population increased, other saints were born and the incense was dispersed. Although Yuanzu was always the saint with the most believers in the heavens, it still took him tens of thousands of years to reach the realm of godhood.

After reaching the divine realm, he has reached the limit of the holy way of incense and can no longer make any progress. He can only explore other ways.

Compared with other saints, Yuanzu had reached the peak tens of thousands of years ago. Since then, he could only wait quietly for other saints to improve rapidly and catch up with the gap between them.

He still occupies most of the incense in the heavens, and does not want a second incense god to appear.

In the eyes of other saints, Yuanzu seemed to have displayed power beyond ordinary saints very early on. This is why Yuanzu is so respected. No one knows how much real strength he has, and it can only be estimated through time.

In fact, Yuanzu's cultivation had long stagnated, and the other ways he studied could only bring him minimal improvement. This was also the reason why Yuanzu was so fanatical about immortals and gods.

That was the only way he could continue!

And he had been waiting for that road for an extremely long time.

"I wonder how Master Feng and the others are doing now..." Li Hao's eyes flashed slightly, and he suddenly felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

Suddenly, he sensed something, his face changed slightly, and he looked up at the sky.

The shadow, which had lost its life force before, now recovered from its injuries and slowly descended.

Seeing Li Hao's stunned look, the projection's mouth curled up slightly, a sly smile suddenly flashed in his eyes, and a mighty power condensed as he raised his hand.

Li Hao's face changed. Although he felt extremely tired, he stood up immediately and prepared to gather his strength to fight again.

But when the other party saw his posture, he suddenly dissipated the strength in his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, you win."

"Ok?"

Li Hao looked at him in surprise. The projection could actually speak?
"Since you have passed the test of the second level of the Zhenzun Tower, you are qualified to know of my existence."

The projection smiled. Although his body was the same as Li Hao's, his expression and temperament were completely different from Li Hao's. He put his hands behind his back and smiled calmly:
"After waiting for a hundred thousand years, I finally got a little fellow who could pass the second floor of the Zhenzun Tower. It's not easy. You should be able to guess my identity, right?"

"You are...Zhenzunta?"

Li Hao was stunned.

Even divine weapons have essences, let alone immortal weapons. This Zhenzun Tower can be used as a test for the Immortal Emperor to select disciples. It can also project the ultimate power of his Heavenly Star Veins. It is definitely not an ordinary immortal weapon and may very well be an emperor's weapon!
"Quite smart."

Seeing that Li Hao was right, the projection's lips curled up slightly, then glanced at Li Hao and said, "I also know about the situation outside. All these years, I have been waiting for someone to pass the test and go explore the situation outside, but those little guys outside are dumber than each other, and no one has even passed the first level of registered disciples. If the Immortal Emperor had announced that he would accept disciples, the Ten Thousand Worlds would have been shaken, and countless people would have passed the first level of the True Venerable Tower in one day. Although those who came to participate at that time were all monsters from all realms, numbering millions, but..."

As he spoke, there was a hint of reminiscence in his eyes, but it soon became lonely again.

Shaking his head slightly, the projection said to Li Hao: "Your talent is far superior to theirs, but the Nine Flower Immortal Seal that follows is very difficult. If you get stuck in a bottleneck when you comprehend it, you can come here. I have a way to help you without breaking the rules of His Majesty the Immortal Emperor."
