Chapter 111: Endless Sea (425th Update)
Chapter 111: Endless Sea (425th Update)
In the Qinglian Courtyard.
Everyone was under the watchful gaze of the Heaven and Earth Dharma Image, like mere specks of dust or insignificant ants.
Even Li Tiangang's ten-zhang-tall Divine Soul appeared small in comparison, only reaching up to Li Hao's knee in the Dharma Image.
This terrifying sight left everyone speechless.
Li Qianfeng, supported by his mother, was so shocked that he could hardly believe his eyes.
This was... Li Hao's true strength?!
He recalled how Li Hao had defeated him with just a Chopstick, even when he had activated the power given by his master, making him invincible at his level. Yet, he still couldn't match that single Chopstick!
The shock in his heart was overwhelming, and he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Compared to the stunned Li Family members, Li Tiangang's face also showed shock and disbelief.
He had never heard of such a spectacle. Was this Li Hao's Soul Image?!
After returning to the manor, he had inquired and learned that Li Hao had not undergone Soul Continuation with an Ancestor, but rather with a Monster's Soul. This was one of the reasons for his anger and dissatisfaction with Li Hao.
But the Soul Image before him—how could it possibly be the result of fusing with a Monster's Divine Soul?
Even his own Soul Image felt like a small boat adrift in a vast, lonely sea when compared to it.
It was as if he were facing not just Li Hao, but the entire world itself!
This feeling left Li Tiangang both shocked and furious.
As a father, he couldn't bear to feel such overwhelming power in front of his son, let alone a sense of awe. This was something he absolutely could not accept or tolerate!
A loving mother and a filial son, a strict father and a filial son!
This was the truth he held dear, the unbreakable order of the world!
"Turns out you do have some skill, no wonder you dared to defy the heavens!"
Li Tiangang took a deep breath, his eyes radiating a formidable presence. Despite his Heart Oath being broken and his Cultivation dropping from the peak of the Immortal Realm to its initial stage, he was still an Immortal!
Just as a typical Fifteenth Li Realm cultivator could easily slay a top-tier Divine Wanderer, the gap between realms was insurmountable!
He roared, and his Divine Soul suddenly burst forth, gathering countless divine lights in his palm to form a Divine Might Blade!
"Today, no matter how strong your wings have grown, I will cut them off!!"
"Come on!!"
Li Hao roared in response, and the Heaven and Earth Dharma Image erupted with brilliant golden light. Within the Dharma Image, numerous golden light veins flowed, mimicking the Major Meridians of a human body—98 Major Meridians in total, clearly visible.
At the same time, the Yin-Yang Dual Meridians emerged, greatly enhancing the power of his Heaven and Earth Dharma Image.
The massive Dharma Image raised its palm, infused with the might of heaven and earth, and struck down at Li Tiangang on the ground.
But Li Tiangang's Divine Soul, wielding the Divine Might Blade, slashed with a fierce blaze, and a mournful cry echoed through the heavens as Li Hao's Dharma Image's massive palm was split apart!
The Dharma Image's face twisted in pain, and it retreated.
Li Tiangang's Divine Soul, holding the Divine Might Blade, charged into the sky, launching a fierce assault on Li Hao's Dharma Image.
Li Hao was enraged, feeling a sharp, cutting pain in his palm. The Divine Might Blade was incredibly sharp, and despite his Dharma Image's power, it couldn't withstand the attack!
"This won't do, the Dharma Image is too large, and the power is spread too thin!"
Li Hao immediately realized this. It was his first time manifesting the Dharma Image, and he was still learning to control it.
Quickly, he gathered his strength, and the Dharma Image rapidly shrank, concentrating its power and bursting with even greater might than before.
In an instant, the Dharma Image condensed to about ten zhang tall, the same size as Li Tiangang's Divine Soul.
But Li Hao lacked Divine Might and couldn't form a blade from it. He could only use a real divine weapon.
Li Hao's gaze turned to Ren Qianqian, who held the Black Sword Case in her hands.
He was about to summon the Famous Sword Eternight from within, but then he seemed to remember something and looked around the courtyard, seeing the old lady's face filled with sorrow.
Li Hao felt a pang of pain, recalling the kind and expectant gaze of the elder when they gifted him the renowned sword. If he were to now wield Ninth Uncle’s sword and battle the elder, it would surely break her heart!
Thinking of this, Li Hao restrained himself. With a roar, he summoned his Dharmic Avatar to block Li Tiangang’s Divine Soul while calling upon the divine sword from his courtyard.
It was a Sharp Sword he had chosen from the treasure vault when he reached the Divine Wanderer Realm, accompanied by Second Uncle. Though not one of the Ten Great Swords of the World, it was still a top-tier divine sword, capable of slaying an Immortal Realm Great Demon!
It was more than enough to deal with the current Li Tiangang!
As he called out, in a distant room within the Mountain and River Courtyard, a wooden sword case suddenly snapped open with a sharp sound, like a dragon’s roar!
A golden divine sword with a round hilt instantly pierced through the window, carrying an overwhelming aura of death and destruction as it sped towards its master.
The sword light zipped through the courtyard, piercing layers of void, and whistled into the palm of the young Dharmic Avatar.
The ordinary-sized divine sword, upon absorbing the mighty power of the Dharmic Avatar, rapidly grew in size, transforming into a massive golden sword in the blink of an eye!
With the sword in hand, the entire world seemed to change.
The golden blade, radiating with brilliance, illuminated the swiftly approaching Li Tiangang’s Divine Soul. The Dharmic Avatar’s face seemed to take on a fierce expression as it suddenly swung the sword.
The blade whistled through the air, and the world seemed to darken instantly.
A massive, dazzling moon appeared from the sword, becoming the only light in the world!
It was blindingly radiant!
The moon’s light enveloped Li Tiangang’s Divine Soul, submerging it entirely.
"Seventh Uncle!"
Li Xuanli’s expression changed slightly, and he couldn’t help but call out softly.
At that moment, the power and sword momentum unleashed by Li Hao’s Dharmic Avatar made him subconsciously worry for Li Tiangang, one of the Three Immortalities.
Li Mingguang, Li Wushuang, Li Yun, and the others of the third generation watched this scene in stunned silence.
They couldn’t fathom that this was Li Hao’s true strength!
This was the power that Li Hao, a Fifteenth Li Realm cultivator, could wield!
Li Sibei couldn’t help but swallow hard. She had a feeling that if she were to face Li Hao with her Tianren Realm cultivation, she might not fare well!
This cousin was truly a monster, surpassing even the person she most admired in her childhood!
As everyone was stunned, the dazzling moon suddenly tore apart, and a fierce red light pierced through its center, bursting out like a blazing sun and shattering the entire moon!
Li Tiangang’s Divine Soul, wielding the Divine Might blade, stood with a stern gaze, exuding an aura of supreme authority.
"Is this your power? It’s nothing more than that!"
Li Tiangang said coldly.
He then swung the Divine Might blade again, slashing towards Li Hao’s Dharmic Avatar.
"Tian Gang!"
Suddenly, Li Qingzheng appeared as if by teleportation, blocking in front of Li Hao’s Dharmic Avatar.
His eyes were filled with shock and anger. He was shocked because of Li Hao’s Heaven and Earth Dharmic Avatar, a Soul Image he had only heard about in ancient legends.
It was said that in the distant ages before Dayu, a few Martial Artists could condense such a Dharmic Avatar!
Those people did not rely on anyone for their Soul Continuation but instead practiced the Heaven and Earth Soul Inheritance!
They were the pioneers of Martial Artist cultivation, and later, they were revered as the Teachers of Heaven and Earth. Thousands of years later, they were bowed to and called … Sages!
In other words, Li Hao’s ability to achieve this level indicated that he had the potential of a Sage!
He had the potential to become a Sage in the future!
After all, how many years had it been since the entire Dayu Dynasty had seen a Sage?
How could such a Li Family prodigy face such a situation?
"Fifth Uncle, step aside!"
Li Tiangang’s gaze was cold, but he still maintained the respect of a junior towards Li Qingzheng.
Li Qingzheng said angrily, "Why can’t things be resolved peacefully? Li Hao is such a talent, and you can still bring yourself to attack him!"
"What good is talent? He is so audacious, and at just fourteen, he dares to kill his brother and father. The higher his cultivation, the more uncontrollable he will become, and the more lawless he will act!" Li Tiangang said angrily.
"You are simply foolish!"
Li Qingzheng couldn't help but retort, "Li Hao has been well-behaved in the manor all these years. He has never provoked anyone. Why do you need to discipline him?"
"It's precisely because of your indulgence, Uncle Five, that he has become what he is today. If I had been here all these years, I would have disciplined him strictly long ago!" Li Tiangang gritted his teeth.
Li Qingzheng was about to speak, but Li Hao, who was under him, interrupted, "Fifth Master, how is Xiao Rou?"
Li Qingzheng was momentarily stunned, then he looked down at Li Hao and quickly said, "It's fine. I've used the Everlasting Force to protect its vital points. It won't die, and it's currently recovering. Your father didn't use his full strength, otherwise..."
Li Hao smiled. None of that mattered to him now. He said, "I'm glad Xiao Rou is fine. Fifth Master, please step aside."
"Li Hao!" Li Qingzheng couldn't help but call out.
"Let me see how he plans to teach me a lesson. Second Uncle is not here, and Fifth Master, you still need to guard the Ancestral Hall. Don't let this matter break your Heart Oath and hurt you."
Li Qingzheng's body trembled as he looked at Li Hao's smile, his face filled with sorrow. "Li Hao, don't worry. As long as Fifth Master is here, he won't harm you!"
"Fifth Master, the Ancestral Souls in the Ancestral Hall cannot be compromised because of this."
Li Hao's smile faded, and he spoke earnestly.
Li Qingzheng's expression changed. He looked deeply at Li Hao, then turned to Li Tiangang and said, "Listen to him. Even now, he still considers the bigger picture. What about you?"
"Tian Gang, no matter where your son was born, or who his father was, he would be a source of pride!"
"But unfortunately, his father is you!"
Hearing these words from his fifth uncle, Li Tiangang's face turned pale and ugly, but he had to admit that Li Hao's words had made him see him in a different light.
He took a deep breath and said, "Fifth Uncle, he's right. Step aside. This is a family matter, and no one else should interfere!"
Li Qingzheng was furious. "Your father died too early; otherwise, he would have given you a harsh lesson today!"
At these words, Chen Hefang's face in the courtyard turned slightly pale.
Li Tiangang gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing with anger. "Fifth Uncle! Step aside!!"
Disappointment flashed in Li Qingzheng's eyes as he looked at him deeply. "You will regret this!"
With that, he took a step forward and left the battlefield.
As Li Hao had said, he couldn't afford to be injured and break the Heart Oath.
With Li Muxiu not in the manor, he was the only one left to hold the fort.
If he were injured now and someone attacked the manor, the Ancestral Heroic Souls in the Ancestral Hall would suffer immense damage!
Those Heroic Souls were mere remnants, not in their prime as Divine Souls. A Fourth Establishment Realm cultivator could easily sweep them away.
This was why he had spent years in the Ancestral Hall, secluded and not leaving.
Although the Divine General Manor had been powerful for years and no one dared to challenge it, those who coveted the Divine General Manor were not ordinary people.
"You still have a sense of the bigger picture, so you're not entirely beyond saving!"
After Li Qingzheng left, Li Tiangang said coldly to Li Hao.
Li Hao laughed, and then his eyes flashed with a cold light. "Enough talk. Let's go!"
Li Tiangang growled, "Still so defiant!"
His Divine Soul suddenly wielded a knife and lunged at Li Hao. Li Hao swung his sword, but this time it wasn't the Rising Moon; it was the Endless Sea!
This was the fourth and final move!
Endless Sea, Heaven as Companion!
As the sword intent gathered in the hands of the dharma avatar, boundless sword intent seemed to surge down from the heavens.
The sword intent was like a tidal wave, the sword qi like an ocean, covering the sky and earth with the light of the sword!
Such an extreme Sword Dao left everyone in the courtyard stunned. A child who had reached the Fifteen Li Realm could cultivate the Sword Dao to such a terrifying level!
