Chapter 164: The Young Man's Ferocity (Repost 25)
Bang!
The arrow veered off course, and the Dragon Rat dodged it, only for it to strike a nearby mountain. The mountain crumbled instantly, its body freezing over, and all the plants on it turned to ice.
"What kind of power is this?!"
Several Demons in the Three Eternities Realm were shocked. This young man barely lifted a hand, yet the force he exerted seemed to dwarf the heavens and the earth. His Object Manipulation Power far surpassed theirs, no wonder he could tear Demons apart with his bare hands.
Li Hao wasted no more time, taking a large step forward and teleporting to the Dragon Rat's side.
He raised his fist and brought it down with a Suppressing force, his punch infused with Sword Intent and bolstered by his current physique, piercing through like a spear.
Seeing the young man dare to close the distance, the Dragon Rat's eyes turned fierce. It did not dodge, instead, it suddenly opened its mouth and lunged at Li Hao.
Its mouth was filled with sharp teeth, like countless blades, capable of cutting through metal and shattering stone.
But Li Hao simply raised his hand, allowing it to bite down, and then delivered a powerful punch to its head.
Seeing this young man's brutal attack, the other Demons were taken aback. This did not seem like the way Humans fought.
"Looking for death!"
The Dragon Rat was elated, biting with all its might. Its bite force was astonishing, capable of piercing even a True Dragon's scales.
But suddenly, it felt as if it was biting into a Divine Weapon. The countless blades pressed down, only managing to make Li Hao's skin slightly indent, without any sign of breaking.
In its moment of shock, Li Hao's fist had already struck, a loud bang resounding as it pierced through like a spear, creating a hole in the Dragon Rat's head, shattering its skull.
Blood spurted from the top of its head.
As the Dragon Rat was dazed, Li Hao's bitten arm twisted, gripping its upper jaw. He bent his body, placing his feet in the gap of its lower jaw, and forcefully pried its mouth open.
The Dragon Rat regained its senses, its eyes filled with terror. It was in the Indestructible Realm, yet its physical body seemed less formidable than this Human's.
The young man was like a young ferocious beast.
It desperately tried to fling Li Hao away, creating distance, sensing the approach of death.
But Li Hao thrust his arm through its upper jaw, then delivered a series of punches, striking the sharp teeth inside its mouth, shattering them and causing its consciousness to reel.
"Quick, stop him!"
The other Demons were horrified and rushed to aid the Dragon Rat.
Arrows shot out again, but Li Hao's Heaven and Earth Dharma Image appeared behind him, grabbing the arrows and then thrusting them back into the Dragon Rat's head.
Another Demon released a fiery fog, but Li Hao's Heaven and Earth Dharma Image expelled a breath of Immortal Qi, shattering the fog instantly.
"Break!"
Li Hao's arms burst with power, and with a low roar, he tore the Dragon Rat's head apart.
Blood splattered, and the Dragon Rat let out a mournful cry as its Divine Soul escaped its body.
But before it could flee, a dragon's roar echoed, and the Divine Soul was swallowed and torn apart by Dragon Dawn.
Li Hao casually tossed the Dragon Rat's corpse aside and then turned to the remaining Demons. His Heaven and Earth Dharma Image suddenly darted out, charging at a Fire Lion covered in flames.
The Fire Lion roared, spewing a sea of fire and shooting out a golden leaf, which seemed to be some kind of Demon weapon.
The Dharma Image raised its hand, extinguishing the flames, then grabbed the golden leaf and charged at the Fire Lion, smashing the leaf into its head.
The Fire Lion let out a cry of pain and fled in panic.
"Help!"
The Fire Lion cried out for help.
In the distance, Lord Fengshan and the White Divine Lord had grave expressions. They could tell this young man was in the Three Eternities Realm, but his power far exceeded that of other Three Eternities Realm Demons.
Moreover, his physical body was extremely resilient, seemingly impervious to even the strongest bites. It would likely take a Divine Weapon to injure him.
"Hmph, no wonder he has the nerve to come out alone."
Lord Fengshan's eyes glowed with golden flames as he said to the White Divine Lord, "The other one is yours, don't get in my way!"
With that, he let out a phoenix cry, his body spinning and transforming into a fire phoenix, riding a sea of flames as he charged at Li Hao.
The other Demons, seeing this, hastily retreated. They could tell this young man was not someone that a Three Eternities Realm Demon could easily kill. He was like the second-generation scions of the Divine General Manor, reaching the peak of the Three Immortalities, capable of taking on over a dozen Three Eternities Realm Demons alone, terrifying to the extreme.
Li Hao caught up to the Fire Lion and shattered its skull with a single palm strike, sending its Divine Soul trembling out. Just as he was about to finish it off, he felt the intense heat of flames rushing towards him.
He turned his head and saw a phoenix, its body engulfed in flames, flying towards him at breakneck speed.
Even before it reached him, the overwhelming heat seemed to boil the very air.
Li Hao's eyes narrowed, but he remained calm. With a palm strike, he extinguished the Divine Soul of the Fire Lion that had just escaped.
Then he turned to face the fire phoenix.
"Supreme Yang Divine Fire!"
Lord Fengshan, seeing Li Hao kill the Demons right before his eyes, let out an angry roar. This was a direct provocation!
Divine light radiated, and a fiery blaze like the sun burst forth.
However, Li Hao did not dodge. Instead, he suddenly summoned the Dragon Dawn Sword, and the Heaven and Earth Dharma Image returned. The Dharma Image, holding the Divine Sword, saw the sword grow in size.
The Dharma Image took a step forward and swung the sword with great force.
The flames exploded, divine light scattering like countless sparks, and the air became scorching, searing the surroundings.
Li Hao stood amidst the intense heat, his black hair flying. He urged the Heaven and Earth Dharma Image to advance, wielding the Divine Sword.
Lord Fengshan, enraged, created a vortex with his wings, and tiny phoenixes of flame, like a swarm of glowing dots, flew towards Li Hao.
It then charged forward, its claws like hooks, aiming to destroy the True Dragon Sword Soul on the Dragon Dawn Sword!
Li Hao did not retreat to defend himself but stood still.
He raised his hands, and a shadow appeared behind him—the Unbreakable Body of the Unmoving Vajra!
The Vajra King, like a divine projection, clasped his hands together, facing the swarm of fiery phoenix shadows. As Li Hao raised his arms, the Vajra King suddenly unleashed hundreds of fist shadows.
The sound of explosions echoed, and the incoming fiery phoenixes were all shattered, turning into a sea of flames that surrounded Li Hao.
Under the relentless assault of the Vajra King's shadow, the flames could not even touch Li Hao, only the intense heat searing his body.
But Li Hao, surrounded by the sea of flames, showed no signs of withering. His hair remained thick and dark, shimmering with divine power.
He stood firm in the fire, gazing at the phoenix, while his Heaven and Earth Dharma Image engaged it in a fierce battle.
In an instant, hundreds of sword strikes were exchanged. Lord Fengshan's attacks were vicious, each claw strike aimed to tear the sword soul apart, but the sword soul moved with the Dragon Dawn, and the Dragon Dawn Sword followed the movements of the Heaven and Earth Dharma Image. The Taiji Universe Sword formed a Taiji shadow, enveloping Lord Fengshan, neutralizing his attacks like a gentle breeze.
"Can't even kill him?"
The voice of the White Divine Lord carried a hint of laughter.
Lord Fengshan was furious, glaring at the other with intense hatred. But in that moment of distraction, the Heaven and Earth Dharma Image seized the opportunity and slashed at Lord Fengshan's chest, extinguishing the flames and sending him reeling back with a pained groan.
Though the White Divine Lord was mocking Lord Fengshan, he was also trying to provoke it to exert more force. The young man's prowess made him increasingly serious.
Just at the Three Eternities Realm, he could match a Demon King without falling behind, which was truly terrifying.
Back in Yanbei, he had seen Li Tiangang fight the Demons, but it had not been this impressive.
This young man was only fourteen and already surpassed his father.
If he were given more time to grow, the Great Yu Divine Dynasty would produce another True Person!
He must be eliminated!
His gaze shifted to a spot in the void, where a shadow lingered. He could sense that the other's aura was firmly locked onto him, ready to strike if he made any move.
To break the deadlock, it could only rely on Lord Fengshan.
"True Phoenix Divine Blood!"
Lord Fengshan, in pain and fury, roared. The golden flames around his body intensified, swirling like a vortex.
His aura surged, and he charged at Li Hao's Heaven and Earth Dharma Image once more.
He spewed out crimson flames, like a divine rainbow piercing the heavens, aiming for the Dharma Image.
Under the influence of Dao Resonance, the attack was certain to hit.
Li Hao sensed it. After achieving the Supreme Body, he could detect the trajectory of Dao Resonance, clearly sensing where the attack was locked onto.
It gave him a sense of anticipating the enemy's moves.
"This is the Demon King's attack? It's not strong enough!"
Li Hao shouted loudly.
The young man's voice echoed through the sky, sending shockwaves through the Three Immortalities Demons surrounding him and causing the bird demons of the Tianji Hall, who were watching from a distance, to tremble with fear.
Li Hao's Immortal Qi surged forth, gathering countless wisps of ethereal light. His Heaven and Earth Dharma Image shone brilliantly, towering like a giant holding a Divine Sword, roaring as it unleashed a fierce slash.
Sword of the Other Shore.
Countless flowers bloomed in the air but withered in the blazing flames. Despite the sword's momentum being weakened by the flames, it still cleaved through the void and struck Lord Fengshan's head directly.
As the sword light approached, the Sword Qi abruptly shifted, tearing open a pitch-black Cycle Gate!
The light that Lord Fengshan spewed was shattered, swallowed by the black hole created by the sword light. His eyes widened in horror. What kind of sword move was this?
Li Hao's Heaven and Earth Dharma Image charged forward, the sword light slashing again, pressing down on the phoenix crown.
Lord Fengshan roared in fury, his wings flapping to create a towering sea of flames. Countless Phoenix True Fires swept over, enveloping and burning Li Hao's Dharma Image.
Under the intense heat, the Dharma Image began to warp and distort.
Li Hao could feel the pain transmitted by his Divine Soul. His eyes flashed with a cold light, and he retracted the Dharma Image.
The Dragon Dawn Sword also floated over, landing in his hand.
If the Dharma Image couldn't do it, then he would use his true self!
Li Hao, wielding the Divine Sword, roared as he charged into the sea of flames.
Countless true fires, like chains, wrapped around him, but they snapped the moment they touched his body.
Li Hao stepped through the flames, his eyes shooting divine light. He swung his sword once, and the Power of Heaven and Earth gathered, transforming into a brilliant Sword Qi that instantly cleaved a path through the sea of flames, striking the fire phoenix's chest.
Blood spurted out, and Lord Fengshan let out a blood-curdling scream, retreating hundreds of meters.
He stared in shock and disbelief at the young man walking through the flames. His True Phoenix Flame, which could scorch even Demon Kings, couldn't even harm this young man?
He saw that Li Hao's body was only slightly burned by the flames, not even his bones were damaged!
Even other Demon Kings would have to give way to his Phoenix True Fire, or they would suffer severe burns!
Li Hao advanced on Lord Fengshan, channeling Immortal Qi and the Power of Heaven and Earth into his arm. The sword light slashed fiercely, releasing another earth-shattering Sword Qi. It was a pure burst of True Energy, like a galactic cascade, smashing down with immense force.
Lord Fengshan spewed light, trying to resist, but the Sword Qi was too condensed, splitting the light and knocking him to the ground.
Li Hao charged forward, kicking Lord Fengshan in the head, causing a massive spray of blood. Lord Fengshan was slammed into a mountain.
The few Three Immortalities Demons who had been watching were stunned into silence.
This young man was too ruthless, actually overpowering and beating a Demon King!
"You!"
Lord Fengshan felt his blood boiling. He had the most noble lineage, yet he was being beaten like this?
Before he could even rise, Li Hao used Object Manipulation Power to lift a nearby mountain and smash it down on the fire bird.
The mountain fell, the earth shook, and it seemed like the sky was collapsing.
Lord Fengshan's body was pinned under the mountain, spewing golden blood.
He roared in anger, unleashing Unfading Power, his aura rapidly increasing. Golden flames burned the mountain into molten rock, turning it red.
Li Hao, undeterred, raised the Dragon Dawn Sword and slashed again.
This strike combined the Falling Snow Sword Technique and the Avalanche's profound intent, powered by Immortal Qi, unleashing a force of unimaginable magnitude, as if thousands of snow-capped mountains were crumbling, with snow cascading down in its wake.
Lord Fengshan had just struggled free from the rubble when he was struck again, lying on the ground with a massive wound in his chest.
A True Dragon coiled around Li Hao's arm, enhancing his strength. Li Hao's aura surged, and as the Seven Stars Lighting the Lamp power depleted, he used it again.
With his current physique, he could use the Seven Stars Lighting the Lamp trait three times without any strain.
Kill!
Li Hao's foot gathered the power of Heaven and Earth, smashing down with a lethal strike.
Lord Fengshan's pupils contracted, sensing the approach of death. He roared, his wings flapping wildly, and his feathers seemed to melt into a mix of blood and fire, surging toward Li Hao.
Li Hao felt the intense heat searing his skin, the first time he had felt such a burning sensation.
His eyes blazed with fury, but he did not dodge. Instead, he activated the Supreme Body, and a wave of energy erupted from his body, deflecting the intense heat. He then slashed through the fire phoenix's chest, exposing its massive heart.
Just as Li Hao was about to extract the heart, Lord Fengshan let out a roar, and a ancient cry seemed to echo from the void behind him.
Li Hao's mind buzzed with a heavy, dazed sensation.
In that moment of hesitation, the fire phoenix before him vanished, transforming into a streak of flame that fled into the distance.
Li Hao looked up, locking eyes with Lord Fengshan from afar.
"Damn it!!"
Lord Fengshan's eyes were nearly bloodshot, enraged that this young man had forced him to use his Defy Heaven and Alter Fate opportunity!
His second life was gone!
Beside him, the White Divine Lord’s face was filled with shock. Lord Fengshan’s realm was on par with his own, yet he had been forced to use his reverse fate chance. This was clearly not a case of holding back or feigning weakness.
It was simply that the young man was too strong, his divine body almost terrifying, immune even to the true flames of the phoenix!
"How can a Three Eternities Realm be this powerful?!"
"Have you been possessed by a Sage?!"
Lord Fengshan roared in fury, unable to believe he could be defeated. This was too inconceivable. Even if the Divine General Manor was teeming with monsters, none had ever reached this level before, right?
This young man was like a young beast from the Great Wasteland Sky, fierce and terrifying.
"I've never seen you before because we never met."
Li Hao stepped forward, his eyes cold, intent on bringing Lord Fengshan down.
The White Divine Lord stepped out, taking a deep breath, and said to Lord Fengshan, "Let's team up."
"I won't play along with you anymore!"
Lord Fengshan was humiliated and enraged. His second life was gone, and even if he fought to the point of severe injury, he would still have to worry about the other demons lurking nearby.
He couldn’t risk becoming nourishment for other demons, helping them build their paths to invincibility.
The White Divine Lord's face darkened. Had he traveled so far only to leave empty-handed?
"Hold on!"
At that moment, a loud howl echoed from a distance.
Lord Fengshan and the White Divine Lord looked in that direction, seeing the red-robed girl flying over. Behind her, two figures, a man and a woman, were swiftly approaching.
"Devouring Heaven Demon Ancestor!"
"Thousand Caves Ghost Lady!"
Seeing the appearance of the man and woman, Lord Fengshan’s eyes narrowed. He hadn’t expected them to be here as well.
"Trouble."
Feng Boping whispered to Li Hao, "Little Rat, we should leave. There are too many Demon Kings coming."
Li Hao's steps paused momentarily as he looked at the approaching demons, his eyes narrowing. He then probed their auras.
They didn’t hide their presence. Both were Demon Kings, but the woman’s aura was slightly weaker, seemingly only at the Dao Mind Realm.
"No problem. Old Feng, help me hold one of them. With three, I can give it a try!"
Li Hao whispered back.
At this moment, he hadn’t unleashed his full strength and wanted to test his limits.
"Three of them? Are you sure?" Feng Boping couldn’t help but look at Li Hao in shock.
While he knew Li Hao had cultivated to the Three Eternities Realm and had previously killed a Demon King in a bizarre Tianren Realm state, facing three Demon Kings alone was still too much of a stretch!
However, upon receiving Li Hao’s confirmation, he took a deep breath and didn’t try to dissuade him further, saying, "If that’s what you want, I’ll stand by you."
From the Divine General Manor in Qingzhou, he had accompanied Li Hao all the way here, braving the elements without a word of persuasion, only offering his support.
Now, he wouldn’t try to dissuade him either.
In his eyes, though Li Hao was a junior, he was also a friend.
Between friends, there was mutual respect. A single reminder was enough; continued persuasion would come off as an order disguised as a suggestion.
"Alright!"
Li Hao stepped forward, his body radiating a sky-piercing valor. He wanted to see his own limits.
Three Demon Kings, though a bit much, might still be worth a fight!
"Lord Fengshan, let’s join forces. Are we just going to let this slide?"
The approaching man, his body brimming with demonic aura and a head covered in grotesque bumps, glared at Li Hao from afar. "A mere Three Immortalities can wield such ferocity. Even the Imperial Clan couldn’t achieve this. I’ve heard this boy’s mother comes from the Great Wasteland Sky; he must have inherited some Secret Art. We must crush him, or there will be no place for us to rest in the future."
"Right, we all have a score to settle with the Li Family. This is a rare opportunity; we can’t let it slip away!" The woman beside him had pale skin, exuding a chilling aura, her eyes a chilling emerald green.
Lord Fengshan was taken aback, surprised by the number of Demon Kings who had gathered here.
He felt a mix of excitement and regret. If he had known the boy was so formidable, he would have waited, sparing himself the waste of his precious reverse fate opportunity.
But this thought passed quickly, too shameful to linger.
As a Demon King, failing to defeat this young man alone was a disgrace.
"Kill him!"
He wasted no more words, speaking directly.
Devouring Heaven Demon Ancestor and Thousand Caves Ghost Lady wasted no time, charging straight at Li Hao.
White Divine Lord, seeing the situation, rushed toward the hidden Fourth Establishment Realm expert, intent on forcing them out.
Now, with three Demon Kings surrounding the young man, unless another Fourth Establishment Realm protector appeared, no one could save him.
Towering demonic qi enveloped the sky, and eerie gusts of ghostly howls filled the air. The Swallowing Heaven Demon Clan summoned an ancient bronze mirror, which reflected Li Hao’s image. Then, from the mirror, a figure identical to Li Hao emerged, charging at him with lethal intent.
Li Hao’s hair fluttered wildly as he took each step, as if ascending to the heavens, exuding a formidable aura.
At this moment, the Immortal Qi within him erupted to its full potential, drawing in the Power of Heaven and Earth, and gathering the strength of the Ten Realms.
Simultaneously, his physical body activated the peak state, turning his flesh and blood a golden hue, and his hair transforming into a radiant gold, making him appear like a golden deity!
A vast and terrifying power surged from his body.
Not only did his strength increase rapidly, but his physical defenses, mental speed, and every other aspect were also greatly enhanced.
Facing the approaching mirror image, Li Hao did not dodge. Instead, he unleashed a powerful punch.
The golden fist seemed to pierce through the heavens. The mirror image raised its sword and struck back, but with just one punch, Li Hao shattered the sword’s light and pierced through the image itself!
"How is this possible?!"
Devouring Heaven Demon Ancestor was stunned, his expression one of shock. This ancient treasure could create a demonic body identical in realm to the original, making it easy for him to subdue any opponent of the same realm, an extremely formidable ability.
But now, the demonic body created by the treasure could not withstand a single punch from this young man?
What he didn’t realize was that while the treasure could create a demonic body, it couldn’t replicate the peak state’s power!
Under the influence of the peak state, Li Hao’s entire body had been strengthened, and the Power of Heaven and Earth he absorbed had surged, significantly enhancing his overall strength.
After breaking through the demonic body, Li Hao’s arms erupted with divine power, and he slashed at the countless ghostly shadows projected into the air.
"Yanluo Ghost Realm, kill!"
Thousand Caves Ghost Lady’s cheeks were marked with green veins, as if she was exerting tremendous force. Countless ghostly shadows emerged from her sleeves, enveloping the sky and earth, transforming the area into a realm of death.
These ghostly shadows, layered upon each other, could easily absorb the enemy’s strength.
However, at that moment, a brilliant sword light, like a dragon’s roar, surged forth. The ghostly shadows, as if scorched by divine light, emitted mournful cries and were instantly pierced through.
A single sword strike cleared the sky of ghostly shadows!
"Not bad at all!"
Li Hao laughed, brandishing his sword and charging forward. With a step, the distance between heaven and earth seemed to shorten.
He approached Thousand Caves Ghost Lady, and a torrent of sword qi, like a tidal wave, surged from the heavens and transformed into sword dragons that howled toward her.
The ghostly shadows reformed by the chilling wind were instantly shredded upon contact with the sword dragons.
Countless sword shadows, like raindrops, pelted Thousand Caves Ghost Lady.
"Ten Hells Demon Suppressing Body!"
Thousand Caves Ghost Lady let out a shrill scream, her body emitting a low, male-like growl as she swelled, radiating a terrifying aura.
But the sword qi continued to rain down on her. Suddenly, one of the sword qi beams penetrated her body.
Thousand Caves Ghost Lady trembled violently, the swirling ghost qi around her body suddenly freezing, then rapidly dissipating.
"What, what is this...?"
Thousand Caves Ghost Lady’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Li Hao. She felt her life force rapidly draining, as if something was absorbing it and pulling it away to a distant place.
She tried to muster her strength, to release her divine soul, but all her power and divine soul were being drawn by an unseen force, preventing her escape.
She felt as if her body was being consumed by something invisible.
Death!
She felt the terrifying shadow of death enveloping her.
In the instant her body froze, Li Hao’s Dragon Dawn Sword slashed out, splitting her body in two.
Devouring Heaven Demon Ancestor and Lord Fengshan arrived, surprised at the opponent’s lack of evasion, only to see Thousand Caves Ghost Lady’s body disintegrate and her life force rapidly fading, until she was completely lifeless.
Dead!
This sudden turn of events left the two Demon Kings stunned, their eyes wide with disbelief.
In a single exchange, this Dao Mind Realm ghost lady had been slain by Li Hao!
"Still got you!"
Li Hao knew he had triggered the fatal attack. Although the probability was extremely low, the sheer number of sword qi beams that had struck her, at least ten thousand, was enough to ensure it.
If she had taken his attacks seriously and countered with her own, she might have deflected his attack. But by choosing to resist with her physical body, she had easily triggered the fatal attribute.
