Chapter 210: The Ancestral Hall's Demise
Chapter 210: The Ancestral Hall's Demise
Boom!
In the distance, Li Tianzong, a figure as demonic and terrifying as a ghost, was locked in a fierce battle with the tattered-robed youth, creating a deafening commotion.
Li Xiaoran glanced a few times. Indeed, Elder Brother's strength had surged in this state. Originally at the Ultimate Mastery Realm, he now possessed the power of the Great Peace Dao Realm!
"Let's go!"
Li Xiaoran, suppressing his inner pain, said to Li Hao.
Li Hao also glanced back, his eyes flickering, but he said nothing and swiftly flew toward the Divine General Manor.
The two moved at incredible speed, with Candlelight Deity and Lu Yuan in hot pursuit.
However, several of the Li Family's Secondary Lineage elders, including Li Xuanyin, appeared and charged at Candlelight Deity, blocking his pursuit.
"Seeking death!"
Candlelight Deity's eyes turned cold, and his Dao Domain expanded, covering a mile in all directions.
His body shot forward, the Dao Domain pushing him like an invisible fireball. Everything in its path was reduced to ashes and rubble.
The soldiers who touched the Dao Domain couldn't evade in time and were instantly incinerated, their bodies turning to mere wisps of flame that quickly extinguished.
With the Dao Domain activated, Candlelight Deity advanced relentlessly, slaughtering his way into the city without a second glance at the others rushing to intercept him.
Some of the Secondary Lineage elders were at the Fourth Establishment Realm. Their attacks flew into the Dao Domain but disintegrated into small flames before they could extend ten meters, proving insignificant before the power of the Great Peace Dao Realm. In the face of the Dao Domain, all were mere ants!
Li Hao and Li Xiaoran soon arrived at the entrance of the Divine General Manor. Without hesitation, they prepared to rush inside, gazing at the magnificent and imposing structure.
Boom!!
Suddenly, a powerful explosion resonated from within the Divine General Manor.
A massive black-furred hand emerged from deep within the manor, sweeping down with a force that made the entire structure tremble violently.
Li Xiaoran and Li Hao's bodies froze, their eyes wide with shock as they stared at the enormous Demon Hand. How could such a thing appear in the Divine General Manor?!
Li Xiaoran's expression changed sharply, and he exclaimed in alarm, "No, it's the Ancestral Hall!"
He accelerated to his maximum speed, using Dao Resonance to teleport continuously.
Li Hao followed, pushing himself to the limit as he entered the Divine General Manor. His pores contracted, and he was seized by an ominous premonition.
He noticed that the Array outside the Divine General Manor had not been destroyed.
How did these Demons get in?
Soon after the two stepped into the Divine General Manor, the pursuing Candlelight Deity slammed into the Array. His Dao Domain shook the Array, burning it with a golden light that enveloped the entire manor.
The Array's strength was even greater than that of Dragon City. Enraged, Candlelight Deity repeatedly punched it, causing the Divine Patterns to tremble.
"This, this is..."
When Li Hao and Li Xiaoran reached the Ancestral Hall, they felt their blood run cold, a chill running down their spines.
The Ancestral Hall, perched on a hillside, had been smashed into the ground, its halls shattered.
A hundred-meter-tall Demon, covered in black fur with a bear-like body and a face adorned with fierce, white tusks, stared at Li Hao and Li Xiaoran with cold, blood-red eyes.
On the other side, the middle-aged Li Qingzheng was covered in blood, his face contorted with rage.
"Ancestral Hall..."
Li Xiaoran stood frozen in mid-air, his mind numb.
The exit from the Mourning River, the most sacred place of the Li Family, had been crushed by a single palm.
"You're trying to leave from here, aren't you? You will stay and sleep with us forever."
The hundred-meter-tall Demon's eyes were cold, and he spoke with a faint sneer.
A special wave of energy radiated from his body, and Li Hao's pupils dilated as he immediately recognized the activation of a Dao Domain.
This Demon's Dao Domain unfolded even faster, in the blink of an eye.
"I'm not some half-baked Dao Realm practitioner."
The Demon saw Li Hao's shocked expression and laughed coldly. His massive body turned, the ground rumbling beneath him, and he raised his black-furred hand, which seemed to block out the sky, stretching infinitely.
"You deserve to die!!"
Li Xiaoran roared in a mad fury, his Major Meridians seeming to tear apart as he unleashed a surge of power, performing his strongest secret technique with a single strike.
In an instant, the blade light illuminated the heavens and earth, then vanished abruptly. A terrifying rift tore through the void, rapidly extending and colliding directly with the Demons' Dao Domain, splitting it with a twisted scar.
The invisible blade light swiftly extended and struck, emitting a loud thud as it slashed into the rough, black-furred giant palm, leaving a wound half a meter deep.
The Demons, towering a hundred zhang tall, seemed surprised that an opponent merely at the Ultimate Mastery Realm could penetrate his Dao Domain and injure him. His cold, indifferent eyes showed a hint of shock, which quickly turned to an even colder chill:
"An extraordinary genius, huh? All the more delicious."
His aura surged, his Dao Domain glowing like an aurora, rapidly expanding to envelop both Li Hao and Li Xiaoran.
"Go, I'll hold them back."
Just as Li Hao was about to act, Li Qingzheng appeared before them, his body trembling with rage. Crimson divine light extended from his body, releasing a surging killing aura.
This killing aura condensed into a blood-red shadow behind him, resembling some mighty presence.
His blood vessels burst, his aura tearing his robes, exposing his muscular upper body.
Bursts of blood-colored vapor emerged from his pores, his aura explosively increasing, clearly indicating he had ignited his Divine Soul!
"Go!"
Li Qingzheng roared, suddenly lifting his hand. A brilliant spear light shot out, transforming into a black arc that pierced the extending Dao Domain, forcing it to halt at the tip of the spear!
The extreme power condensed at the spear tip resisted the expansion of the Dao Domain, generating boundless might.
Li Xiaoran and Li Hao were both shocked. They couldn't tell if Li Qingzheng's power was heightened due to the Mourning River or if it was his true strength, but it far exceeded their expectations.
Li Xiaoran's heart ached with grief, barely suppressing his anger as he turned and rushed toward the collapsed Ancestral Hall.
Li Hao knew that Li Qingzheng was risking his life to buy them time. Despite his boiling anger, he could only turn and flee, rushing into the Ancestral Hall.
Li Xiaoran's Object Manipulation Power swept through, lifting the shattered tiles and debris from the Ancestral Hall, only to find that all the Ancestor Memorial Tablets had been destroyed!
Only one Memorial Tablet emitted a dim golden light.
It was the First Ancestor, Li Tianyuan's Memorial Tablet.
His golden statue was shattered, but this small Memorial Tablet remained.
As the two arrived, they immediately sensed the faint residual spirits on the Memorial Tablet, clearly the spirits of other ancestors.
"You've come..."
"Unfortunately, we can't hold on much longer."
"I'm afraid we won't be able to send you out..."
The residual spirits transmitted their thoughts, but they dissipated after reaching the 1st Rank.
Under the Demons' Great Peace Dao Realm attack, they could only manage to gather all the ancestral power to protect the First Ancestor.
In life, they were formidable, some ruling for centuries, others challenging the Dayu Nineteen Provinces and earning eternal fame.
But in death, they were only remnants of divine souls, their power greatly diminished. Even the Ultimate Mastery Realm posed a severe threat to them, let alone the Great Peace Dao Realm.
"Unfortunately, a prodigy from the Li Family has emerged, yet we must die here..."
"If we die, remember to exterminate all the Demons here..."
More ancestors transmitted their final 1st Rank thoughts, filled with endless regret, before dissipating from the Memorial Tablet.
The dim golden light gradually faded and extinguished.
Li Xiaoran and Li Hao stood in a daze, staring at the remaining Ancestor Memorial Tablet.
Though they knew these spirits were born from Li Tianzong's obsession, the words still made their blood boil, filling them with a sense of sorrow.
"Children, don't be sad."
Li Tianyuan's Heroic Souls appeared on the Memorial Tablet, addressing Li Xiaoran and Li Hao: "The Li Family has no cowards who fear death, only heroic souls who die in battle!"
"Who among you will carry my residual soul to slay the Demons?"
Li Xiaoran and Li Hao looked at the First Ancestor. If they were outside, Li Xiaoran would have bowed in respect, but now, only sorrow filled his heart.
"I will."
Li Xiaoran said to Li Hao, "Li Hao, you find a way out. I'll buy you time."
"There is no way out."
Li Hao said bitterly, "I have no leads. The only way... is to hold on, to survive another day."
Li Xiaoran felt a deep sense of sorrow. Indeed, he had no idea where to find another path to survival.
There is no Ancestral Hall, only passage or death.
If they had the Power of the Great Peace Dao Realm, they could rely on their Dao Realm to go elsewhere, not being confined to Dragon City. They could use their Dao Realm to evade the rules of the Mourning River, making it easy to survive a day. However, neither of them was in the Great Peace Dao Realm.
"I wonder if Elder Brother's consciousness has recovered. If it has, let him use his Dao Realm to protect you, but Elder Brother cannot leave Dragon City..."
Li Xiaoran's expression kept changing, a sense of despair creeping in.
He himself was not afraid of death, but this time, Li Hao was with him.
If Li Hao died here, he felt it would be even more painful than his own death.
"Since that's the case, child, let's fight this battle together."
Li Tianyuan's Heroic Souls saw their predicament and immediately made a decision. His figure flashed, transforming into a beam of golden light and merging with Li Hao.
In an instant, Li Hao's entire body seemed to be clad in a divine golden armor.
The Divine Soul transformed into a war armor, enveloping Li Hao in Divine Flame, and was accompanied by a surge of powerful Power.
Bang!
A figure suddenly flew out, crashing violently a hundred meters away.
Li Xiaoran and Li Hao turned to see Li Qingzheng, his body drenched in blood and his gun broken.
"Old Fifth!"
Li Xiaoran was about to rush over, but Li Hao stopped him, whispering, "You go find a way out. I'll handle this."
His eyes shot out a deep, chilling killing intent, his body covered in golden light, and his Divine Power State exuding an unimaginable Divine Might.
Seeing the Dao Domain of the hundred-meter-tall Demon crushing down to kill Li Qingzheng, Li Hao suddenly raised his sword and swung it.
Sword Qi swept through, momentarily blocking the Dao Domain.
The power of this casual slash was comparable to Li Qingzheng's full-force eruption when he burned his Divine Soul.
At the same time, Object Manipulation Power dragged Li Qingzheng's body to a different location. Li Hao looked up, holding Blue Frost, and gazed at the towering figure of the hundred-meter-tall Demon.
"Hmm?"
The hundred-meter-tall Demon also sensed Li Hao's current aura, which was extremely vigorous. Although he was only in the Three Eternities Realm, it still made the Demon take notice.
"If you were in the Fourth Establishment Realm, I might have to take you seriously, but you're just a mere Three Immortalities..."
The Demon sneered, then raised his hand to Suppress, pushing his Dao Domain down.
"How did you get into the Divine General Manor?"
Li Hao asked.
"Of course, with an Array Token. Otherwise, why would we send assassins to attack the ten sons of the Li Family? Their Array Tokens were swapped long ago."
As the Demon spoke, his Dao Domain pressed down.
Li Hao's face darkened. It was because of this?
"Fourth Uncle, hurry, find a way out, don't die!"
Li Hao quickly transmitted a message. Then, facing the oppressive Dao Domain, he slashed his sword upward.
"Kill!"
The roar of the Ancestor's Heroic Souls echoed in his ears.
This sword strike filled the sky with Divine Light, like the first ray of dawn dispelling the darkness.
The sword light pierced through the Dao Domain, which, under the rules of the Dao Domain, compressed and collapsed, trying to crush the Sword Qi. However, the Sword Qi, enveloped in Divine Light, shone brightly and cut through, fiercely slashing the hundred-meter-tall Demon's chest, severing many of its hairs and leaving a wound.
However, the wound healed at an alarming rate.
"Hmph!"
The Demon was enraged, raising his giant palm and striking down repeatedly.
Li Hao's body darted and weaved, forcing back the Demon's giant palm with a single sword strike, and the two separated.
The Demon was right; their realms were too different, a vast gap of a major realm.
At this moment, with numerous Divine Medicines and the Ancestor's Heroic Souls, Li Hao's Power surged like a raging river, allowing him to fully injure the Demon, but not to deliver a fatal blow.
"Ancestor, I'm going to go all out."
Li Hao took a deep breath and said solemnly.
"Come, no regrets in battle." Li Tianyuan's consciousness transmitted.
Li Hao did not want to die in battle, but he had no other choice now.
He extended his Heaven-Earth Meridian, releasing the restrictions on his body. In an instant, the vast power of the heavens and earth poured into him.
Originally in the Immortal Transformation Realm, he now advanced further, from thirty percent to fifty percent!
Then to seventy percent!
Terror-inducing Power gathered around Li Hao like a storm, the sky changed color, and clouds swirled.
