The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 610 A Drop of True Blood God, Reversing the Heavenly Venerable's Will (Part Two)

"The Dao, the Dao Source Immortal Seal!"

While the patriarchs of various clans were still wondering who the young man who had stepped onto the stage was, they were shocked by the Dao Source Immortal Seal that was gradually emerging on Li Hao's forehead.

In one day, I saw two Dao Source Immortal Seals. One was a top genius among prodigies, and the other was a human youth whom I had never seen before.

"Who is he?"

"A second-level Immortal Lord... Whose peerless talent is this? How could my Northern Region have such a prodigy?"

"The Dao Source Immortal Seal—he couldn't possibly be unknown in the True Immortal Realm!"

The various prominent families were in an uproar, including the Jiang, Su, and Lin families, who were all stunned and dumbfounded as if struck by lightning.

They knew something about Li Hao's identity; after all, his pursuit of Su Muqing for more than ten years had already spread far and wide, and they had all heard about it.

However, no one expected that this young man who was obsessed with Su Muqing, whom they considered a fool, actually possessed the Dao Source Immortal Seal and was a top-tier genius.

"How could he...?"

Lin Jinrou covered her mouth, her eyes filled with disbelief. Her impression of the young man was still the scene where he used the Art of Time to suppress the flying dragons on the lake pavilion, demonstrating his terrifying power in the Art of Time.

"The Immortal Seal of the Dao Source..."

Su Wanxue's eyes revealed deep shock, and she couldn't even close her lips. She had heard that the other party pestered Su Muqing every day and waited patiently in the other party's courtyard. This guy who was so focused on other things actually... actually had a Dao Source Immortal Seal?!
Not only those present, but countless people throughout the 36,000 Immortal Cities were horrified by this scene.

"The Dao Source Immortal Seal, who is this young man?"

"Our human race, apart from Lin Zhexuan, actually has such a prodigy, and Lin Zhexuan isn't even a Dao Source Immortal Seal!"

"Is this the top genius of our human race? But how come his cultivation level is only at the second level of the Immortal Lord Realm?"

"Are you blind? Didn't any of you see how many years his soul lifespan was reflected in the soul mirror outside the dojo?!"

As someone pointed it out, countless people noticed that Li Hao's lifespan, as revealed on the Soul Realm outside the dojo, was only a little over a hundred years old.

At this moment, the entire Gusu Imperial Star was in an uproar, as if a steamer had exploded.

A hundred years of lifespan, second level of Immortal Lord Realm, Dao Source Immortal Seal!!

This is far superior to Lin Zhexuan and Su Muqing, truly a once-in-a-millennium talent!

But soon, many powerful figures from major families calmed down and realized that something was wrong, that this situation was not right!

Dao Yuan Immortal Seal, such a monstrous talent, yet only at the second level of the Immortal Lord realm, with a lifespan of only a hundred years. Such a seedling should be protected and properly cultivated.

We must not let such promising talents perish on such a battlefield!
Soon, the excited cheers in the various immortal cities were immediately replaced by anxious shouts from those who had regained their senses.

Li Hao's appearance certainly excited them, but the black-veiled demoness was also a Dao Source Immortal Seal, and her realm was the ninth level of the Immortal Lord Realm!
The difference between them is a full seven realms, a world of difference. Even if a genius like Su Muqing is at the second level of the Immortal Lord realm and were to challenge an ordinary Immortal Lord at the ninth level, she wouldn't dare say she has an absolute chance of winning, unless she borrows the family's top immortal weapon.

Not to mention that they are all top geniuses. The difference between these seven realms is real. If you can overcome adversity, others can too. They cancel each other out. The difference between the seven realms is an insurmountable mountain!

"That child..."

Su Zhenyuan, who had caught up, was startled and stood frozen in place.

When he first saw Li Hao's soul, he knew that Li Hao was a top talent, but he never expected that the other party's foundation was still beyond his imagination.

No wonder, no wonder such a prodigy received the marriage certificate bestowed by the Celestial Emperor and came to the Su family for a marriage alliance.

This is by no means an invitation for the other party to curry favor with the Su family; rather, it is an opportunity bestowed upon the Su family!

Su Zhenyuan came to his senses and realized that the marriage contract signed by the ancestor clearly showed that he had a very good relationship with that Immortal Emperor. How could the other party not take care of the descendants of the Su family?

Not only him, but Jiang Qiuyu and Lin Daogong were also stunned and speechless for a moment.

The Dao Source Immortal Seal almost means that with proper cultivation, one will definitely be able to step into the half-step Emperor Realm. Compared to the Nine Flower Immortal Seal, it is more qualified to glimpse the path of the Great Emperor!

In the Northern Region, a prodigy has emerged whose talent surpasses that of Su Muqing and Lin Zhexuan. Moreover, considering his lifespan, it is simply exaggerated and terrifying!
"you……"

Su Muqing stared blankly at the dazzling light of the immortal seal before her, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.

Her eyes were filled with shock. She never dreamed that this guy, who was single-mindedly pursuing himself and had no ambition, would actually condense the supreme Dao Source Immortal Seal!

She herself possessed the Nine Flowers and Nine Seals Immortal Seal and had once planned to condense the Dao Source Immortal Seal in the True Immortal Realm, but she never found that opportunity. That's why she had no choice but to break through the realm and planned to cultivate the Chaos Law in the Immortal Lord Realm to make up for it.

Therefore, she deeply understood how rare and difficult it was to condense the Dao Source Immortal Seal!
For a moment, confusion and complex emotions filled her heart, and many thoughts floated into her mind. She couldn't help but say:
"With such talent, why did you insist on coming to my Su family and looking for me?"

Hearing the girl's words, Li Hao seemed not to hear them, but simply looked at her quietly, at her face.

Scenes from the Southern Region flashed through his mind. He chose to go into battle not only for the sake of the Northern Region's human race, but also because he did not want to see that scene repeat itself.

Quietly, without any response, Su Muqing's body trembled slightly. In those clear eyes, she saw something indescribable, extremely profound.

She understood what it was; only now did she finally understand what it truly was.

So, it wasn't for the Su family, or for anything else, but solely for himself?

Her breathing suddenly became rapid, and her heartbeat quickened slightly. She turned her head and saw the black-veiled enchantress opposite her. All her thoughts were instantly extinguished like a bucket of cold water, and she became calm and chilled.

Her expression changed, and she took a step forward, blocking Li Hao's path. Her fingers clenched slightly. She never imagined that, besides Lin Zhexuan, she would stand in front of a second man.

"Even if you have the Dao Source Immortal Seal, the difference in your cultivation levels is too vast. You are no match for her. Run!"

Her eyes were resolute; having agreed to go on stage, she was already prepared to fight to the death.

As she finished speaking, memories of the past suddenly flooded her mind. In that courtyard, the boy always stared at her without blinking, and all she received in return was her cold and disgusted gaze.

Her expression changed slightly; it seemed she still owed an apology before her death.

An apology to the boy behind him.

As she passed the two men who had protected her since childhood, and walked alone on her final journey under their silent gaze, it was the boy behind her, whom she had ignored, who stepped in front of her and once again shielded her from the last storm of her life—with his own life!

Her feelings were complex and indescribable. All her past prejudices against the boy vanished at this moment. All she wanted to say was an apology, a simple "I'm sorry."

But as she parted her lips slightly, before she could utter a word, a powerful and forceful celestial force grabbed her arm and pulled her behind her back.

Li Hao stood in front of Su Muqing, his eyes filled with not only calmness and determination, but also an extreme coldness!

The other person's shout of "Hurry up!" seemed to pull time backward.

He felt all the blood in his body flowing back from that painful place in the Southern Region into his body at this moment, and then, like boiling oil, constantly heating up and burning, burning the dormant and cold heart inside him!

"I won't let you die in front of me again, I won't."

Li Hao spoke softly, in a low voice.

His immortal power surged forth from within him as if boiling, unleashing a series of ultimate powers. The myriad celestial veins also emerged from behind him, like a dense spiderweb, reflecting and gathering all the stars in the northern sky.

He was at the center of this immense immortal power, and released a powerful thrust that pushed Su Muqing's body outward.

Su Muqing realized what was happening, her expression changed, and she immediately tried to unleash her immortal power to resist.

Li Hao sensed her intention and suddenly looked up at the many demons on the black warship, especially the middle-aged man in purple robes who was in the lead.

At this moment, the eyes of these demons were filled with astonishment and disbelief. They seemed not to have expected that, apart from Hei Ji, there was also a Dao Source Immortal Seal among the human race, and that she was an even more monstrous genius than Lin Zhe Xuan and Su Mu Qing!

"Are you all stupid? Don't you play by the rules?! I went first, let her go!"

Li Hao stared at the middle-aged man in purple robes and rebuked him sternly, word by word.

The middle-aged man in purple robes came to his senses, and his expression changed. As a half-step emperor, he had actually been scolded by a human brat?

But instead of being angry, he was delighted and even couldn't help but laugh out loud. He never expected such a wonderful surprise!
After defeating Lin Zhexuan, they actually forced out such a terrifying guy with a hundred-year lifespan and a Dao Source Immortal Seal. He's simply a monster!

If we hadn't found out now, and such a monster had secretly cultivated for thousands of years, that would have been truly terrifying!
"Good, good, well said!"

The middle-aged man in the purple robe laughed and clapped his hands.

His reaction brought countless people back to their senses; while they were stunned, their expressions changed drastically.

Only then did they realize what was happening!
If such a prodigy were to perish in this sparring match, the loss would far exceed the value of twenty immortal cities.
Let alone twenty, I wouldn't trade it for two hundred or even two thousand immortal cities!
"Quick, get him down! He's still so young, he can't die like this!"

"Stop him now!"

The patriarchs of various clans rushed to the edge of the demon clan's training ground, their expressions anxious.

Su Zhenyuan, Jiang Qiuyu, and others also appeared in the dojo.

"Haotian, come with me. This is not a battle you should be involved in right now."

Su Zhenyuan said hurriedly.

Jiang Qiuyu and Lin Daogong then learned of Li Hao's name and said, "That's right, with such talent, the three of us will join forces to cultivate you. With a prodigy like you, what does it matter if we lose this battle!"

Su Zhenyuan unleashed his power, intending to send Li Hao away immediately.

But suddenly an imperial might pressed down, blocking his power.

The middle-aged man in purple robes, the middle-aged man with golden eyes, and the cold and alluring woman appeared in an instant and arrived at the dojo.

"You just leave like that? Don't you have any sense of rules?!"

"Once you enter the training ground, it's a life-or-death struggle. Do you intend to break the rules?"

Led by the middle-aged man in purple robes, he coldly stared at Su Zhenyuan and the others, his aura radiating, clearly indicating that he intended to keep Li Hao here and would never allow Su Zhenyuan and the others to take him away.

Su Zhenyuan, Jiang Qiuyu, and the other two looked grim, but since things had come to this point, they were willing to break the rules for Li Hao.

As the auras of the three men surged, the three middle-aged men in purple robes also released their respective might. The vast imperial might filled the Demon Ancestor's dojo and spread out. Su Zhenyuan enveloped Li Hao and Su Muqing within it. When the imperial might collided, the patriarchs of various families outside the dojo were all terrified and dared not approach.

Although they were only half-step Emperors, the clash of their powers, even a trace of it, was enough to severely injure a Celestial King.

Seeing the terrifying scene of the two sides facing off, countless strange phenomena of the origin of the Great Dao appeared, lightning and fire were born and died, and space and time were shattered, as if it were the end of the world. Everyone was so shocked that they couldn't speak.

"What, you're unwilling to follow even these basic human rules? Are you trying to bully the weak with numbers?"

Suddenly, an indifferent voice came from the distant depths of space.

Amidst this fierce standoff, a shockwave swept through, causing Su Zhenyuan and the others to change their expressions and their faces to turn slightly pale.

However, the imperial might conveyed in that voice was not particularly strong; it did not actually intend to harm them, but merely dispersed their aura before stopping.

"Emperor!"

Su Zhenyuan and the other two all changed their expressions, taking a deep look at the void behind the black warship. Sure enough, the Demon Emperor was looking down at this place, spying on everything that was happening here.

For the Celestial Emperor, the distance in the starry sky is meaningless. If he so desires, he can extend the Imperial Path to this place at any time and descend upon it.

"Hmph, if you want to break the rules, then let your sleeping emperor awaken and have a showdown!"

The middle-aged man in purple robes narrowed his eyes, exuding a dangerous aura, but his words seemed to be a kind of test.

Su Zhenyuan and the others had grim expressions. If the other party could use this opportunity to investigate the human race's foundation, the gains would be a hundred times greater than killing a prodigy.

After all, prodigies still need time to be nurtured, and they are of little significance to the current situation of the human race.

However, the foundation of the human race will immediately affect the current situation of the human race in the Northern Region, the border, and the overall situation!

"Child, you..."

Su Zhenyuan looked at Li Hao, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

They failed to protect the prodigy sent by the Celestial Emperor; were they just going to watch him perish before their very eyes?
"Hmph, stop wasting time, everyone leave!"

The middle-aged man in purple robes sneered.

Su Zhenyuan, Jiang Qiuyu, and the others looked at each other, their eyes filled with complex emotions, unsure of what to do.

However, the only way to stop this war is for the clan's emperor to intervene.

"you……"

Su Muqing opened her mouth slightly, looked at Li Hao, and had many things to say, but suddenly didn't know what to say.

She suddenly realized that she knew nothing about the boy except his name, and nothing about his background.

"If it doesn't work, then admit defeat. I promise you, as long as you survive, I will betroth Mu Qing to you, and we will get married immediately!"

He gritted his teeth and said these words with great force, intending to give Li Hao the will to live.

He said this without looking at Su Muqing beside him or his friend Lin Daogong, but stared intently at Li Hao.

If there is a young man who is willing to give his life for his daughter, what reason is there not to entrust your daughter to him?
This time, he will arrange the marriage in his father's name, even if Su Muqing objects!
After Su Zhenyuan uttered these words, Lin Daogong's expression changed, but when he saw the Dao Source Immortal Mark on the boy's forehead, he fell silent. His peripheral vision then swept over Lin Zhexuan in the distance, whose face was full of astonishment and a little dazed, before turning ugly. He couldn't help but feel complicated and let out a sigh.

The world seemed to be quiet, and even Su Muqing, who was standing to the side, seemed to have fallen silent, not uttering a word to refute Su Zhenyuan.

However, Li Hao's reaction was not the ecstatic joy Su Zhenyuan had imagined. He merely glanced at the girl's face, then turned his head, his gaze falling on the black-veiled enchantress, and said softly:

"We'll see. I also hope I can survive!"

Su Zhenyuan was slightly surprised by Li Hao's reaction, but a sense of unease crept into his heart. He took a deep breath and said, "Remember, don't push yourself. If you can't win, just admit defeat!"

Now that things have come to this, they have no way to forcibly take Li Hao away, and can only hope that Li Hao will find an opportunity to admit defeat on his own.

"Kid, looks like you really want to die. Interesting, very interesting."

The middle-aged man in purple robes looked at Li Hao and couldn't help but grin. This young man was too interesting. He had previously deduced that Su Zhenyuan and his group would break the rules and take him away, so he directly asked them, the demons, for help.

This is the first time I've seen such a monstrous and interesting creature. It's a pity it's human; if only it were a demon!
He smiled, exchanged a glance with Su Zhenyuan and the others, his expression turned cold, and they all understood each other without saying a word. At the same time, they all teleported away from the Demon Ancestor's dojo.

Su Muqing stared intently at Li Hao for a moment, then whispered, "Live on!"

After saying that, he flashed away and left the Demon Ancestor's dojo.

But the three words left behind made Li Hao's heart tremble slightly. In her last moments, the girl in the Southern Region also said goodbye to him in the same way... Live on.

You told me to live on, but what about you...?

Li Hao slowly clenched his fists, his disordered breathing freezing as if solidified in his chest.

He took a deep breath.

Then, slowly, he spat it out.

When his gaze fell upon the woman in the black veil, his eyes were cold and devoid of any other emotion.

"How verbose and how stupid."

As the sealing array closed in, Hei Ji unusually refrained from immediate action, merely observing Li Hao indifferently and offering her assessment.

She thought Su Zhenyuan and the others were being long-winded, which meant they were wasting their time; she thought they were being foolish, which meant she was referring to Li Hao.

Li Hao didn't reply. He didn't ramble, so he didn't waste his breath.

His aura was constantly rising, and his thoughts were becoming one with the Dao.

“We are both Dao Source Immortal Seals. You have a great opportunity to condense this Supreme Immortal Seal. However, the difference between our realms is too great. You shouldn’t have come here to die.”

Hei Ji said indifferently, "Do you really think you can defeat me by crossing seven realms?"

Li Hao said, "You're very long-winded."

Hei Ji raised her eyes slightly, but showed no anger. Compared to the human prodigy surnamed Lin from before, she couldn't muster any killing intent towards the young man in front of her.

However, just because she can't lift it doesn't mean she won't wipe it away.

On the contrary, compared to that Lin, the young man in front of us should be killed with all our might, as he poses a far greater threat than anyone else before us!

"Do you possess imperial blood? Or a chaotic physique?"

Hei Ji looked at Li Hao with interest and said, "What makes you think you can beat me? Or is it just that you humans are willing to die with that girl? Is that what you call love?"

Li Hao did not answer. He did not have the blood of an emperor, nor did he have a chaotic physique. What he possessed was the unique Haotian bloodline, which he had forged by falling into the abyss, establishing his heart with heaven and earth, forging his bones with mountains and rivers, shaping his muscles with the sun and moon, and using the supreme Dao thought as his blood.
Whether this bloodline is strong or not depends on him and on his future.

Seeing that Hei Ji was taking her time, the purple-robed middle-aged man and others outside the arena changed color and became anxious, fearing that Li Hao would take this opportunity to admit defeat.

However, inside the arena, Hei Ji, who possessed the Dao Source Immortal Seal, spoke so much to Li Hao, unafraid that he would take the opportunity to admit defeat, because she could tell that he had not come here to admit defeat.

Therefore, she wasn't worried that the human boy wouldn't admit defeat until he fought to the point of despair.

Seeing that Li Hao was unwilling to talk to her any further, Hei Ji stopped talking and her eyes turned cold.

Throughout history, there have been many extraordinary talents, but most of them are short-lived, and the young man before us is one such example.

Such a fleeting flower wouldn't inspire her deepest sympathy, but it would evoke a slight sense of regret. However, the pleasure of crushing it with her own hands would be a completely different kind of delight.

"Eternal night!"

Hei Ji raised her hand, and in an instant, a dense dark power surged forth, threatening to engulf the Demon Ancestor's dojo.

Off the field, countless people's faces immediately tensed up.

"Admit defeat! Admit defeat now!"

Outside the dojo, Su Wanqing clenched her fists anxiously and stomped her feet on the spot, but she knew in her heart that Li Hao would not admit defeat easily, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to go on stage.

Is it worth it for my sister?
She felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

"So strong! Can that young man withstand it?"

"He's only at the second level of the Immortal Lord realm. Won't he be instantly killed?"

Outside the temple, countless people across the entire Gusu Imperial Star were watching this scene intently, holding their breath.

But suddenly, a dazzling sword light appeared. This sword light was scarlet and blazing, as if the bloodshed that had been dormant for 100,000 years had erupted at this moment.

cut!
Li Hao's hair flew wildly, and a scarlet sword appeared in his hand—the Taotie. Now that Li Hao had entered the Immortal Lord realm, he could truly control and wield immortal weapons!
Previously, Li Hao could only serve as a tool for the Taotie, feeding it immortal power and letting it perform on its own. But now, as a Celestial Lord, Li Hao can truly unleash the power of the Taotie Celestial Weapon and use it as a sword in his hand!
"Master, come here!"

Taotie unleashed a bloodthirsty and ferocious intent, also sensing that this battle was unprecedentedly difficult, even ten times more difficult than the previous one in the Southern Region.

With one man and one sword, their minds united, Li Hao's eyes swirled with killing intent. At this moment, he integrated the essence of time, space, and form control, as well as the sword intent of the Five Absolute Emperor Sword, into his own sword path.

This first sword strike was his strongest sword strike to date, a sword strike that slashed at everything he could see!
Bang!
The violent sword intent flashed with a mournful cry, its sword energy traversing nine thousand miles, soaring upwards as if to cleave the Demon Ancestor's dojo in two. Even within the closing Eternal Night Laws, it appeared so dazzling. The myriad primordial laws entwined around the sword energy, coupled with the inherent baleful aura of the Taotie Immortal Sword, prevented the Eternal Night from healing.

"Such strong swordsmanship..."

"Is this his sword? His true power?!"

Offstage, Su Muqing, Su Wanqing, and the others were stunned and somewhat lost in thought.

They had witnessed Li Hao's swordsmanship at the Sword Pool Championship, but while that sword strike was terrifying and stunning, it was far less powerful than this one.

As the sword's might spread, a majestic imperial aura surged forth from the sword energy, like the dawn breaking through the night, unparalleled!
Everyone was shocked by the imperial aura. The young man's swordsmanship even showed traces of the Emperor's Path!
It should be noted that Lin Zhexuan's divine spear also contained imperial intent, so in this respect, Li Hao was not inferior to Lin Zhexuan.

Off the field, Lin Zhexuan's expression also changed slightly, but his eyes were gloomy and flashed with cold light. Although the sword energy contained imperial intent, the sword realm... was still a step behind his spear realm!
Bang!
The sword fell, slashing at Hei Ji's head, but was caught by Hei Ji's raised, snow-white hand.

Yes, it's about holding on.

This scene shocked countless people once again, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

Such a masterful sword strike was easily grasped by that snow-white, lotus-root-like hand!

The terrifying imperial might slowly dissipated, and the sword's momentum was directly suppressed and quickly collapsed.

Compared to Lin Zhexuan's ultimate spear strike earlier, Hei Ji now blocked Li Hao's sword technique with much more ease, and she wasn't even injured.

Upon witnessing this scene, the shock in the eyes of countless people turned into lamentations.

Ultimately, the difference in their cultivation levels was too great. Although the power that Li Hao had just displayed had already shocked everyone, and ordinary ninth-level Immortal Lords might not be a match for Li Hao, he was facing a top-tier ninth-level genius!
"The gap is too big..."

Su Muqing's face was pale, and she bit her lip.

Su Wanqing stood there stunned, her face drained of color.

"The gap is too big, it's impossible to win..." Lin Jinrou and the others looked at this scene with complicated expressions.

Inside the dojo, Li Hao looked at the black-veiled enchantress who had easily caught his sword, and his heart sank slightly.

He hadn't intended to defeat his opponent with this one sword strike; it was merely a test. However, the result of this test was far below his expectations.

His opponent was much stronger than he had imagined... He had no confidence in this battle, and going on stage was a gamble with his life.

In reality, even if he was confident, his participation in this battle was a gamble with his life.

After all, once this battle is over, regardless of whether he lives or dies, his identity will be exposed, and the Southern Region will also find out.

Only he himself knows what he sacrificed to become a monk.

But he has no regrets.

"Your swordsmanship is still a bit lacking."

Hei Ji crushed the sword energy, then waved her hand as if shattering a wisp of smoke, and said calmly.

Li Hao nodded slightly, "Indeed."

He agreed with what the other person said.

At the same moment, he silently called out to the interface and added points.

The true meaning and state of mind of the Way of Chess are embedded in... the Way of the Sword!
As Li Hao added points, in an instant, a vast and boundless Daoist thought surged into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Countless dazzling sword intents rushed towards him, filling his mind. It was as if he had practiced swordsmanship for ten thousand years in an instant. Many exquisite sword techniques were performed by his body countless times. Many secrets of swordsmanship were completely clear to him, with no secrets hidden.

Kendo, 12th Dan!

That surging sword intent merged into his Dao realm, into his consciousness, and into his body.

His entire demeanor changed.

His aura was completely different from before; it had undergone a dramatic change.

This change was noticed by everyone outside. The patriarchs of various families stared wide-eyed, including Su Zhenyuan and others, who also showed a hint of surprise on their faces.

A sudden breakthrough?

At this crucial moment, this young man actually advanced a major realm in swordsmanship?!
Such things do happen, but the higher one's cultivation level, the lower the probability of such things occurring.

At this moment, Li Hao raised his sword again. Behind him, the Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth appeared, and behind the Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth were the Dharma Images of the Saints that he had condensed in the Pseudo-World of Heavenly Calamity.

As he raised the Taotie, all the celestial and divine images, including those of the saints, suddenly held a sword in their hands.

The hundreds of sword energies all pointed in the same direction.

"cut!"

Li Hao swung his sword once more, still embodying his own unique swordsmanship, still delivering a peak and ultimate strike.

The Twelve Dan of Kendo, the True Meaning of Kendo, the Laws of Kendo!
Beyond the Nine Orders, all the myriad laws intertwined and coalesced, transforming into the laws of swordsmanship.

The sword's laws were like countless chains binding together, radiating a terrifying and unimaginable power.

Hei Ji's expression changed slightly, and a cold and fierce light suddenly appeared in her eyes. She raised her hand, and black smoke-like power was released from her immortal power. In addition to the Eternal Night Law, the sixth level of the Nine Order Origin Realm emerged and merged into one, transforming into the Darkest Law.

"Annihilation!"

She raised her hand, and the power of the laws enveloped her, encompassing all six levels of the Origin Realm, making her extremely powerful, far surpassing Li Hao's.

Li Hao's current mastery of the Time Origin, along with his breakthrough in the Way of Chess, has only reached the peak of the fifth level of Origin, still one step away from the sixth level.

The same applies to the origin of space.

With a loud bang, as the sword energies collided and pierced into the annihilation law, Li Hao immediately felt as if he had pierced into the ocean, with a feeling of endlessness and boundlessness.

His eyes suddenly widened in fury, and his immortal power surged forth instantly—break!

With a loud bang, the Annihilation Law shattered, and sword energy crisscrossed, directly striking Hei Ji's body and splitting a crack in it!
Lin Zhexuan's previous battle with Hei Ji shattered the demonic weapons and immortal treasures on her body. Therefore, Hei Ji could only rely on her own power to fight Li Hao.

The only thing Li Hao had more of than her was the Taotie Immortal Soldiers.

"Ok?"

Hei Ji was injured, but she healed in the blink of an eye; however, her expression changed.

Outside the dojo, everyone was shocked to see that Li Hao had actually injured Hei Ji.

Despite being seven realms apart, Li Hao was still able to injure Hei Ji!
Although for someone who can regenerate from a drop of blood, such an injury is barely even a scratch and can heal in the blink of an eye, and given that Hei Ji also controls the Star Meridians of the Heavens and has an endless supply of immortal power, this level of injury is even less of a concern.

But it was still able to injure the opponent, which shows that the power of that sword was beyond imagination.

Although Li Hao's Spacetime Origin Realm is only at the peak of the fifth level, and his other realms are at the fourth level, his sword dao is at the sixth level!

The physical body path is also a sixth-level origin realm.

The sword path of the six origins, integrated with the origins of all paths, was unleashed with the Sole Sword Technique. The mutated sword path law power directly broke through annihilation, even severing the Eternal Night Law, which is why it caused damage to Hei Ji.

"His swordsmanship..."

Su Muqing stared blankly, the swordsmanship just now was no less than her own.

Is this the person I've always despised and loathed?

"Your attack?"

Hei Ji frowned. Although the wound had healed, she felt an extreme pain. Her primordial spirit had actually been injured!

The power contained in that sword strike was actually able to injure her primordial spirit.

The opponent's immortal power... actually surpassed liquid immortal power, and incorporated some kind of special power!

How did he manage to live to be a hundred years old?
Kurohime's mind raced, her gaze hardening, revealing a murderous intent.

The threat posed by this human race is too great; she absolutely cannot let them live!
"Eternal night, darkness descends, death!"

Hei Ji made her move, showing no mercy, and instantly raised her Law Origin Realm to the seventh level!
Previously, when she fought Lin Zhexuan, both of them displayed the seventh level of the Origin Realm, while Li Hao's sword dao twelve stages only had the sixth level of the Origin Realm.

The surrounding mist surged, and the world suddenly darkened, shrouding the Demon Ancestor's dojo in darkness.

Boundless baleful energy engulfed Li Hao. When Li Hao saw that this was the same move that the opponent had used to defeat Lin Zhexuan, his eyes sharpened. He unleashed his immortal power and swung his sword repeatedly, using the power of spacetime to distort the speed in front of him, unleashing hundreds of sword strikes in an instant.

Each sword strike was the ultimate, drawing out all the immortal power in the body.

Hundreds of swords overlapped and slashed towards Hei Ji, but were devoured by the dark power. Only the last few dozen swords touched Hei Ji.

Hei Ji raised her hand to receive the sword. Her physical body had reached the sixth level of the Origin Realm, and her immortal body was also at its peak, but she was still injured by the sword energy. When she was injured, her primordial spirit felt as if it were being torn apart, and she felt extremely painful.

Her face immediately turned to shock and anger. As expected, it wasn't an accident; the opponent's attack could simultaneously injure her primordial spirit!
What kind of strange magical power is this?
She waved her hand, and the surrounding black mist surged, instantly crushing all the remaining sword energy. Then, a giant hand stretched out from the darkness and fiercely suppressed Li Hao.

With a loud thud, Li Hao's body was slammed against a hilltop, and he felt as if all his bones were shattering.

He combined his immortal body, refined through the art of chess, and took another step beyond his celestial body, merging his primordial spirit with his physical body to create a celestial body of heaven and earth. Yet, even he was injured at this moment.

His previous Celestial Body could withstand attacks from the seventh or eighth level of the Immortal Lord realm. With his Celestial Body fused with the power of his primordial spirit, and given the strength of his primordial spirit, it should be difficult for even a Perfect Immortal Lord realm cultivator to harm him.

Li Hao was shocked, but fortunately, the injury was not fatal and healed in the blink of an eye.

When his body burst out of the rubble, Kurohime's expression changed; her pupils contracted, and for the first time, surprise appeared in her eyes.

Although that attack was not her ultimate move, it was close to her full power, yet she still failed to kill the boy.
What is that body made of that it didn't break?

Seeing Li Hao swing his sword and charge, she raised her hand again with a cold face. Four or five palm prints suddenly condensed in the black mist and were unleashed one after another, like five mountains pressing down.

Bang bang bang!
Li Hao unleashed his sword energy, but it shattered completely. He was no match for the giant dark hand and was slammed into the ground of the training ground.

Five earth-shattering palm prints pressed down on Li Hao, making him feel as if all his bones were about to shatter, his body felt like it was falling apart, and he was in excruciating pain.

Fortunately, although his body was covered in blood and gore, he was not directly annihilated by the impact.

As immortal power surged in, Li Hao healed instantly. He soared into the sky and charged towards Hei Ji once again.

Seeing this, Hei Ji was extremely shocked and furious, feeling that Li Hao was like a stinky rock, harder than she had ever imagined!

She raised her hand, gathering the surrounding power. The dark power that enveloped the entire dojo was drawn into her palm like a whale sucking in water, revealing the figures of the two. Then, she revealed her true form, and her power immediately increased, becoming even more terrifying than before. The condensed power, with her breathing, suddenly transformed into a black, spinning sphere, radiating a collapsing force, and rushed towards Li Hao.

Outside the dojo, everyone was startled by the sudden appearance of the battle scene. They breathed a sigh of relief when they discovered that Li Hao was still alive. However, they immediately sensed that the collapsing dark power contained a terrifying aura, with the power of the seven fundamental laws and the vast and boundless immortal power.

"not good!"

Su Muqing's pupils contracted, and her expression changed drastically. She felt that she couldn't withstand that force.

The others also changed color and shouted anxiously, "As long as Li Hao can shout out that he has to admit defeat, there is still hope!"

Su Zhenyuan, Jiang Qiuyu, and the others felt a surge of power coursing through their bodies, ready to break through the sealing barrier and rush into the battlefield the moment Li Hao conceded defeat.

But when faced with the attack that shattered space and time, leaving a trail of darkness as it hurtled towards him, Li Hao did not retreat. Instead, his primordial spirit flew out and hovered above his head.

The unity of man and god!

On his primordial spirit, 1,100 golden bones, as dazzling as gold and glaze, covered his entire body, illuminating the Demon Ancestor's dojo from 50,000 years ago, and also illuminating the countless eyes of the 36,000 immortal cities of Gusu City.

Not only were Su Zhenyuan and his group shocked, but the middle-aged man in purple robes and the other demons were also horrified, their pupils contracting.

Su Muqing and Su Wanqing were both stunned. Lin Zhexuan, who was in the distance, was also frozen in place with a gloomy expression. His eyes seemed to be shrinking under the light.

One thousand one hundred golden bones of the primordial spirit, like a golden helmet, completely wrapped and enveloped Li Hao's primordial spirit!
At the moment when the world was in shock, the thousands of golden bones on that primordial spirit all burst into flames at the same time!
Burn your primordial spirit!!
Moreover, it's not just one or two that are burning, but all of them!

The burning flames were magnificent and vast, like a great fire that could burn the entire world to ashes!

The golden, dazzling flames were reflected in everyone's eyes, telling of the unwavering determination and indomitable killing intent within the young man's body!
"you……"

Hei Ji was also stunned, her shocked and angry eyes once again showing great fluctuations, full of disbelief.

Thousands of primordial spirit golden bones?
That primordial spirit power was even stronger than hers, who had cultivated for over seven hundred years!

But the other party's lifespan was only a short hundred years!

The opponent is only at the second level of the Immortal Lord realm!

The primordial spirit has surpassed one's own realm by such a great extent; there is none in the world who has ever heard of such a thing!

At this moment, as the primordial spirit burned fiercely, a terrifying and overwhelming power surged into Li Hao's body. This was an infinite defensive force. He used this defensive force on the meridians of the myriad stars. The vast and boundless immortal power instantly gathered around and was all enveloped and compressed by his terrifying and infinite defensive force!
In the end, that vast immortal power condensed into a terrifying sword aura.

"Kill him!!!"

Li Hao's eyes were filled with tears of blood, and the pain of his burning primordial spirit was a hundred times greater than that of his physical body!
But the pain only drove him further mad, and he unleashed his most extreme sword strike at Kurohime!
Bang!
When that sword was swung out, the void seemed to vanish, as if time itself had been severed and all sound had been annihilated.

The collapsing sphere that hurtled towards them crashed into the sword energy, and then, in the next instant, was cleaved in two by the sword energy and shattered!
The sword energy weakened somewhat, but it quickly regained its strength under the immense power of the burning primordial spirit, and with unstoppable momentum, it slashed towards the Black Princess.

"So, this is what he's confident about..."

Su Zhenyuan and the others watched this scene in shock, finally understanding why Li Hao had the courage to step onto the stage.

However, with the ultimate burning of his primordial spirit, the battle ended... and the young man was crippled even if he didn't die!
Under their watchful eyes, the sword energy instantly arrived in front of Hei Ji. The moment her attack was thwarted, Hei Ji felt a strong threat and even smelled the scent of death.

The shock in her heart was beyond words. Despite the difference of seven realms, she actually felt a threat of death from a second-level Immortal Lord!

But when she saw the blazing divine fire before her, and felt the heat emanating from her very soul, she knew that the other party had burned everything to make up for the gap.

"die!!"

Her eyes suddenly turned pitch black, and her body, which resembled black mist, churned violently, as if merging with heaven and earth and with immortal power.

Eternal night, utter darkness, she embodies the heavens and earth, and vanishes into the heavens and earth, thus becoming utter darkness.

As a damp, dark power emerged, an extraordinary will descended from behind it. This will was vast, abyssal, and majestic, like a giant mountain that had fallen from the distant stars. Before this giant mountain, all living beings were but ants!

The moment that extraordinary will descended, Li Hao's sword energy fluctuated and became distorted.

The sword energy seemed unable to be sustained, just like a mortal standing before an emperor, lacking the courage to draw his sword, only trembling in fear.

Li Hao was also impacted by that extraordinary will. His whole body trembled, and all his beliefs felt like they had been shattered by a single punch. His own body also felt like it had been scattered by a single punch, and the flames burning in his primordial spirit flickered as if they were about to go out!

This is the will of the Celestial Venerable!
Li Hao's pupils contracted, trembling. He had long ago touched the will of the Heavenly Venerable during his ultimate immortal transformation.

It was only through touching it that he realized the vastness and terror of the Celestial Venerable's will. Even the slightest manifestation of it was enough to make people tremble with fear.

Heaven and earth seemed insignificant in the face of this will, which is why Li Hao called it "Heavenly Venerable," the supreme being of heaven and earth!

But now, the Celestial Venerable's will before him is a hundred or a thousand times stronger than what he felt before. The Celestial Venerable's will that the black-veiled demoness could borrow is far beyond what he could touch.

He used to rely on the will of the Heavenly Venerable to suppress enemies and resolve crises, but he never expected that he would be suppressed by the will of the Heavenly Venerable now.

Li Hao's body retreated continuously. His body was a celestial body, where his physical body and primordial spirit were merged into one. However, even heaven and earth had to bow down before the will of the Heavenly Venerable.

Boom boom boom!
Li Hao stepped through the void, retreating continuously.

The dark power surging from Hei Ji's body was unleashed with the will of the Heavenly Venerable. She had used this method earlier to almost prevent Lin Zhexuan from having a chance to admit defeat.

Now, she must kill Li Hao even faster, giving this young man no chance to admit defeat.

As a result, her primordial spirit was also burning slightly. Although it wasn't as crazy as Li Hao's, with all of it burning, dozens of her primordial spirit golden bones were burning, bringing powerful defensive force and making her control over power even more terrifying.

The void shattered, and wherever the dark power eroded, all things returned to nothingness!
Li Hao retreated repeatedly, the Heavenly Venerable's will pressing down on him so that he couldn't lift his head, and preventing him from gathering any power in his body.

Is this how it ends? Is this how I die?!

If I die, will she be next?

Li Hao gritted his teeth, his hair standing on end, as if countless shackles were pressing down on him, and he could only break free of the cage by fighting with all his might.

"So what if I am a Celestial Venerable? I am the Supreme Celestial Venerable!!!"

Li Hao roared to the sky. Faced with that extraordinary will, he did not admit defeat or beg for mercy, but roared angrily to the heavens.

Its roar echoed from the Demon Ancestor's dojo, reverberating above Suzhou City, shaking heaven and earth, and causing the surrounding area to tremble!

The thousands of flames burning from the primordial spirit instantly intensified, as if a ball of oil had been suddenly added, and they shot into the sky, transforming into blazing golden divine light that completely covered and enveloped Li Hao's body.

Countless people were shocked, feeling as if their blood was boiling and trembling, and their eyes turned red.

The boy's shout pierced the entire Imperial Star.

Facing the will of the Celestial Venerable, the mournful cries uttered in the face of despair, and the burning divine flames—these scenes shook the entire Imperial Star.

The dark power enveloped and surged into Li Hao's divine flames, but at that moment, the extraordinary Heavenly Venerable's will suddenly receded.

Like a receding tide, it dispersed from that shattered spacetime, retreating back to the depths of heaven and earth, back to a deeper realm that can only be touched after reaching the ultimate immortality.

"Ok?"

Hei Ji's expression changed drastically. What happened?

Suddenly, she could no longer sense the Celestial Venerable's will, nor could she control that part of the Celestial Venerable's will.

It was as if some force had caused it to dissipate!
While she was in a daze, she suddenly felt her heart pounding, and an indescribable, majestic, noble, and supreme aura emanated from the burning divine flames before her.

There, Li Hao's figure appeared, his whole body bathed in the divine fire of his burning primordial spirit. In the primordial spirit above his head, in the burning golden bone fire of his primordial spirit, a drop of bright, crimson blood, exuding infinite true meaning, floated in the void.

That is... the blood of a true god at the ultimate stage of the primordial spirit!
