Chapter 188: Battle Secret Technique, Li Hao Enters (Part 2) (Part 1)
Chapter 188: Battle Secret Technique, Li Hao Enters (Part 2) (Part 1)
The array shook violently, and five Three Eternities Realm Demon Souls surged out, roaring at Lu Yuan.
But Lu Yuan merely narrowed his eyes, and the five Demon Souls were instantly intimidated, frozen in place, unable to move.
The disparity in realms was too great. The ancient True Dragon Aura emanating from Lu Yuan instilled a primal fear in the other Demons.
Lu Yuan sneered coldly and raised his hand again, preparing to deliver his third palm strike.
But at that moment, a bright, sharp whistle, like a low chant, suddenly soared from deep within the city.
It pierced through the array, and a sword cleaved through the air!
In an instant, it slashed toward Lu Yuan's palm.
Lu Yuan's eyes flickered. Facing the crimson-golden sword light, a dark black scale covered his palm, and he did not dodge. Instead, he directly grasped the sword's tip.
Sizzle!
The overwhelming Sword Qi merely ruffled Lu Yuan's hair, and the friction between the sword tip and his palm produced a piercing spark of lightning.
The dark black scale seemed like a divine weapon. After the friction, it showed no sign of injury and instead clamped down on the Dragon Dawn Sword!
"A mere divine weapon..."
Lu Yuan sneered, about to exert force to break it and incapacitate this divine sword. But suddenly, the sword body erupted with a dragon's roar, and the True Dragon Sword Soul burst forth, followed by the Black Bird Demon King and the Thousand Caves Ghost Lady's Demon Souls.
At this moment, their Demon Souls were all under the command of the True Dragon Sword Soul, having lost their original memories and consciousness, leaving only the single-minded desire to protect the sword.
Roar!
The Dragon Soul growled, unafraid of Lu Yuan's dragon might, and spewed a river of Sword Qi, charging at him.
The Black Bird Demon King and the Thousand Caves Ghost Lady also unleashed their strongest Demon Arts, creating storms of countless wings that swirled toward Lu Yuan.
Gusts of ghostly wind drifted from the Thousand Caves Ghost Lady's body, blocking the sky and forming a massive shadow. Its face was indiscernible, but it raised a hand to suppress Lu Yuan, as if intending to crush the earth beneath him.
The three Demon Kings' sword souls attacked simultaneously, unleashing a terrifying force that far exceeded the five Demon Souls within the array.
Lu Yuan's eyes flickered as he stared at the True Dragon Sword Soul and sneered, "Once I shatter this sword, I'll set you free, so you don't have to be a slave to the Human Race anymore."
He seemed to recognize the True Dragon Sword Soul's former life. Both of his arms transformed into dragon scales, and he suddenly formed a fist, unleashing a barrage of punches.
The ghostly shadow's hand was shattered by the hundreds of fist shadows he unleashed, and the sky was cleared of shadows.
The storm of countless killing wings was directly dispelled by his roar, and his figure surged forward, riding the river of Sword Qi back to its source.
The Sword Qi did not harm him but was deflected by a special aura.
He stepped against the river of Sword Qi, raised his hand, and delivered a powerful punch, causing the Sword Qi to collapse. Countless Sword Qi fragments shattered, and his fist struck the True Dragon Sword Soul.
The sword soul emitted a mournful cry, its body shaking as it was sent flying back into the Dragon Dawn Sword.
Lu Yuan instantly appeared in front of the Dragon Dawn Sword, gripped the blade with both hands, and held it tightly.
Just as he was about to break this divine weapon, his eyes flickered, and he turned his head to the side.
There, a young man's figure appeared in the void, walking from outside the city.
His steps were slow, but he exuded an ethereal and resolute aura, as if he were one with the surrounding world.
Each step he took shortened the distance by several dozen miles.
In a few short steps, he stood not far from Lu Yuan.
Their eyes met, and Lu Yuan's eyes narrowed. The aura he sensed from the young man, combined with the intelligence he had, left no doubt that this was the target he had come to deal with.
The Human Race's prodigy.
"Three Eternities Realm..."
Lu Yuan felt the young man's aura and his eyes narrowed. At such a young age, to be at the Three Eternities Realm was equivalent to an ancient Demon King reincarnated.
However.
No matter how talented one was, it was meaningless in the face of absolute power.
He sneered slightly, and the pleasure of personally strangling a world-class prodigy was greater than devouring a hundred thousand people.
"Actually staying outside the city, and not hiding in the array? You're quite brave, boy."
Lu Yuan said with a light laugh, like a cheerful old man chatting with a neighbor's child.
"Coming alone, you're quite brave too."
Li Hao replied with a smile.
Although he was smiling, his heart was heavy.
He could sense the terrifying power emanating from the other, as deep and concealed as an abyss. Without a doubt, this Demon King before him surpassed any he had faced before, and it was highly likely to be at the same realm as Second Uncle, the Ultimate Mastery Realm!
Every Demon King who had reached the Ultimate Mastery Realm possessed their own ultimate killing move.
And this move could only be fully unleashed when combined with their martial realm. Even if outsiders managed to learn it, they would find it difficult to wield such power unless they cultivated to the Ultimate or True Form Level.
"You're young and arrogant. Let's see if your mouth or your sword is harder!"
Lu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sneered.
He suddenly exerted force with his palm, attempting to crush the Dragon Dawn Sword.
Despite the strange feeling this young man gave him, a peculiar sensation he had never experienced from other Three Eternities Realm cultivators, he had already experienced the power of the sword's control. It was nothing special.
Much stronger than a typical Three Eternities Realm, but still easily suppressed by a Fourth Establishment Realm, let alone a Fate Reversal Realm.
He couldn't understand why such a person could wreak havoc Beyond the Pass, making those Fate Reversal Realm cultivators flee.
Hum!
At that moment, as he applied more force, the Dragon Dawn Sword in his hand suddenly trembled.
A vast Object Control Power was suddenly exerted on the sword.
Blinding golden light erupted, and in that instant, the Dragon Dawn Sword was taken over by Li Hao's true self, no longer controlled by the Shadow Clone.
With a sharp sound, the sword tip suddenly extended, releasing a sharp Sword Qi that instantly tore through the dragon scales on Lu Yuan's palm. It slipped away like an eel, quickly escaping his grasp!
The sword body burst into a dragon's roar as the injured True Dragon Sword Soul, now infused with Li Hao's vast power, quickly recovered. Its true form emerged, emitting a deafening roar.
Lu Yuan's expression changed slightly. He opened his palm and looked at the crack in his dragon scales, his eyes gradually darkening.
Then, a cold, murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
At this moment, he finally realized where that strange feeling from the young man came from.
The other had been holding back!
Daring to hold back against him!
Lu Yuan turned to stare at Li Hao, completely ignoring the formidable True Dragon Sword Soul, and said coldly, "You're more impressive than I thought."
"You talk too much."
Li Hao raised his hand, and the Dragon Dawn Sword flew through the air, drawing arcs of light before shooting out again.
Its speed through the air was ten times faster than before!
It reached him almost instantly, the wind it generated pulling the clouds in the sky and stirring up dust on the ground a hundred feet below.
Purple light flickered in Lu Yuan's eyes. He suddenly thrust out his palm, and lightning burst from his palm, with hundreds of lightning bolts shooting out and striking the sword, dispelling its sharpness. Then, he grabbed at it again with his palm.
The Dragon Dawn Sword shook. The moment his fingers touched it, they were deflected. The sword then spun rapidly and slashed at his chest.
The sword light pierced through the qi barrier surrounding his body, tearing through his clothes but only leaving a trail of sparks on his chest.
Lu Yuan's dragon scales appeared under his skin, no longer hiding. Though he was unharmed, his eyes were filled with rage.
Purple aura enveloped his body as he suddenly thrust out his palm. Lightning crackled around him, and a barrage of purple lightning, like a thunder prison, bombarded the Dragon Dawn Sword. At the same time, a massive palm imprint, accompanied by lightning and fire, pressed down on the Dragon Dawn Sword.
With a loud bang, the Dragon Dawn Sword was locked and slammed into a distant mountain, piercing through it.
Then, it transformed into a golden streak and whistled back, charging at Lu Yuan once more.
The three Demon King sword souls were entwined and attached to the sword, greatly enhancing its power, making it a formidable force of destruction.
Lu Yuan continuously slapped out palm imprints, each one blasting out with lightning encircling the heavens, shaking the ground outside the array.
The sword light and palm imprints clashed and shattered, the terrifying aura spreading and colliding with the array, causing divine patterns to ripple.
On the city wall, countless soldiers gathered, unable to intervene, only watching this breathtaking battle in awe.
The young nobles from various Noble Families had gathered here to visit Li Hao, but this was the first time they saw the legendary young man engage in combat.
Previously, Li Hao had slain fifty thousand Demons with a single sword strike, but they had only seen the sword, not him. Thus, some had secretly speculated that it might have been someone else.
But now, seeing the young man standing outside the array, battling the terrifying Demon King, silenced many who had maliciously doubted him, leaving them speechless and wide-eyed.
Bang!
Suddenly, Lu Yuan's palm struck the Dragon Dawn Sword, dispelling much of its divine light.
His palm had transformed into a dragon claw, and dragon scales appeared on his face and neck, indicating his partial demonization.
He was furious, never expecting a Three Eternities Realm to be so difficult to subdue, forcing him to use his true energy.
As the Dragon Dawn Sword seemed poised to strike again, he took a deep breath, no longer holding back. He immediately unleashed the power of his secret technique, determined to swiftly slay his opponent and then raze the city to quench his fury.
He raised his claws, and dark clouds gathered in the sky.
Amid the heavy, oppressive air, a fierce wind swept through the land.
The rumble of distant thunder echoed from the dark clouds.
"Limitless Thunder Path!"
Lu Yuan's eyes turned icy cold as he suddenly raised his hand, and countless bolts of lightning were drawn down from the clouds, as if a lightning sword had been pulled from the mist!
The lightning crackled and flickered under his control, hurtling toward Li Hao.
Li Hao's expression turned serious, and he suddenly turned his palm, causing the Dragon Dawn Sword to burst with a wave of sword might. It condensed into countless threads of Sword Qi, like a fine rain, rapidly shooting forward.
This was the Sword Technique he had created this night, after fusing various Sword Arts during his cultivation.
Sword Supreme Spring and Autumn.
It consisted of four forms, and this was the first: Spring Rain.
These threads of Sword Qi contained a peculiar power, not purely for killing, but with an extremely strong penetrative force, capable of seeping into the opponent's body.
Compared to the Sword Tide, its penetrative power was significantly enhanced.
However, the bolt of lightning shot forward, and in an instant, countless threads of Sword Qi shattered. The lightning surged along the Sword Qi, spreading even faster.
Li Hao's pupils dilated; the lightning could actually conduct through the Sword Qi, seemingly enveloping the surrounding space, following his every thought.
This was the power of the Ultimate Mastery Realm?
Compared to the opponent's secret technique, his Sword Move seemed somewhat naive.
Li Hao instantly transformed, the sword light blazing like the midday sun, striking directly at the thunder.
With a loud boom, the sword light shattered, and the lightning exploded into a blinding white light. The Dragon Dawn Sword emitted a mournful wail.
"Die!"
Lu Yuan's gaze was cold. No matter what techniques were used, they would be destroyed in the face of his secret technique, the Limitless Thunder Path.
At that moment, a sudden cold light approached.
Lu Yuan's expression changed slightly as he saw a gray shadow rushing toward him, aiming straight for his spine.
"Back off!"
He roared, having anticipated that the young man would have someone from the Fourth Establishment Realm secretly protecting him, but not expecting the other party to approach undetected.
His entire body erupted with power, his dragon scales vibrating as he unleashed a scorching blast of heat, raising his hand to strike.
A sharp whistling sound rang out, and it was Feng Boping who had attacked. However, when his strike landed on the other's spine, he was stunned; it felt like hitting divine iron.
No wonder Li Hao's Dragon Dawn Sword couldn't even scratch him; even the five-cast Divine Weapon in his hand failed to penetrate the defense!
In the blink of an eye, a terrifying claw descended.
Feng Boping hastily raised his hand and pulled back, but he was still struck in the forearm by the claw. A bolt of lightning passed through him, causing his body to stiffen and convulse as he was thrown backward.
"Old Feng!"
Li Hao's expression changed, but the exploding lightning sword was already hurtling toward him. He roared, his entire body enveloped in a swirling aura that transformed into a powerful gust. At the same time, the shadow of Acala appeared behind him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Li Hao threw punch after punch. Locked by the Dao Resonance of the lightning, he couldn't dodge and could only withstand the attack!
The shadow of Acala behind him also raised its hands, extending six more arms for a total of eight, and struck wildly.
Boom!
The lightning exploded, and Li Hao was thrown back.
The moment his fist touched the lightning, he felt a series of electric shocks that made his body involuntarily convulse and stiffen.
This was the opponent's secret technique, whose terrifying destructive power could also paralyze the body, leaving the victim standing helplessly.
Li Hao got up from the ground, his clothes torn into strips. Only the crucial parts were protected by layers of Object Manipulation Power, preventing the clothes from being shredded.
He looked at his fist, which was charred and raw.
But in this short moment, the charred cracks visibly healed, the dead skin peeling away to reveal fresh skin.
Li Hao stepped forward, seeing Lu Yuan chasing after Old Feng. He immediately used the Heaven and Earth Traceless Technique to catch up.
"Hmm?"
Seeing that Li Hao was still alive and well, Lu Yuan's expression changed. To survive a direct hit from his secret technique was one thing, but to be unharmed?
"Die!"
Li Hao roared, charging forward with a punch.
The might of the Half-Step Invincible Fist, as he stepped forward, stirred up a fierce wind, hurtling toward Lu Yuan.
The massive force of the punch, combined with the shadow of Acala behind him, struck down.
Lu Yuan's eyes flashed with anger, and his entire body erupted with fierce thunder. He raised his hands, with divine lightning in his palms, and struck back at Li Hao.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two instantly engaged in a close-quarters battle, their fists and palms colliding, the lightning exploding.
The air around them trembled, and even the aftereffects of their clash could cause a Heavenly Master to suffer severe internal injuries.
If it were someone below the Fourth Establishment Realm, they might indeed manage to touch him, but the Dao Resonance that pulled at him was a lock.
However, the Supreme Body still took effect. Despite being hit, the power of the attack was significantly weakened. The lightning that entered his body, under the transformation of the Supreme Body, shortened the stiffness it caused.
As Li Hao released other Body Cultivation True States, his entire body became a unified whole, and various phenomena appeared around him. Enveloped in lightning, he actually weaved through the thunder, his body scorched by lightning and fire, yet healing almost instantly.
Li Hao inhaled Immortal Qi and drew in the Power of Heaven and Earth, his fists and feet carrying the force of ten million tons.
This was the strength of hundreds of millions of pounds, capable of moving mountains and splitting seas, terrifying beyond measure.
With the Heaven-Earth Meridian now connected, Li Hao's capacity to draw in the Power of Heaven and Earth had increased by more than tenfold. Moreover, the Heaven-Earth Meridian was different from other states; it wasn't a brief activation but could be maintained for a long time, almost like a passive ability.
