Chapter 298: Matters of the Mortal World, the Heavens Cannot Control (Part 2 Unity)

Inside the Imperial Palace.

Outside the palace, on the vast square, the ground was in ruins, especially where Li Muxiu and others had been imprisoned. This area had turned into a battlefield, with several massive craters scattered across the ground.

At this moment, one of these deep craters held an old Daoist, his Dao Robe in tatters, slumped inside the pit.

His hair was disheveled, and his body was covered in blood and torn flesh.

The sharp sword that had once helped Dayu slay demons for millennia now pierced his chest, pinning him to the ground, unable to move.

His power was completely drained, his 108 major meridians and Yin-Yang dual meridians all ruptured, and his Heaven-Earth meridian destroyed. He was on the brink of death, his eyes dull and lifeless, as if he had already given up.

At this moment, he resembled a discarded toy, thrown into the deep pit, while before him stood a figure in imperial robes, an elderly man covered in blood. The blood seeping from his body had stained his entire imperial robe red.

His body was held in the hand of a young man, as if he were a chicken or duck awaiting slaughter.

Emperor Yu, at this moment, was in no better shape than Taoist Qin. After Taoist Qin's complete defeat, he had become their replacement, the "new toy" for these six young men and women.

His hands were broken and limp, and his legs, which he had severed himself, hung uselessly. The young man had used Dao techniques to prevent his body from healing, tearing his major meridians and destroying his Heaven-Earth meridian, cutting off his Qi power.

"Such a weakling, and he calls himself an emperor of the Mortal World."

"Earlier, you had quite a bit of backbone, refusing to kneel even if it meant breaking your legs, right? I like that defiant look of yours."

"Now, let's try a different game."

The young man in the purple robe had narrow, phoenix-like eyes and a handsome appearance, but his warm, gentle smile sent a deep chill through everyone present.

"Now, kneel and kowtow to us. For each kowtow, we'll let one person go. How does that sound?"

The Purple-Robed Youth smiled, his lips curling upwards.

Upon hearing these words, Emperor Yu, whose eyelids drooped and who had lost all ability to resist, felt his eyes, which still held a cold, defiant glint, contract slightly.

The playful smile on the Purple-Robed Youth's face was like that of a demon.

"That's a great idea, Xuan Feng, you really know how to have fun."

The woman of extraordinary beauty's eyes gleamed, and she covered her mouth with a light laugh.

The Purple-Robed Youth smiled and said to Emperor Yu, "I swear by my Dao Heart that I will keep my word."

"Your Majesty, no!"

"You beasts, you've gone too far! I'll fight you to the death!"

In the crowd, everyone was filled with shock, anger, and grief. An old general of the royal family, unable to bear it any longer, roared and charged forward.

But as he took his first step, his body was halted mid-air, his Dao Resonance severed. Before he could react, his body exploded with a loud thud.

From the shattered remains of his physical body, a divine soul emerged, but before it could attack, it was extinguished by an invisible force.

Li Muxiu and Xia Linglong's faces turned pale, their hearts filled with sorrow and anger. This was already the sixth person to die from anger and desperation.

These young men and women were like demons, toying with their dignity.

Emperor Yu, upon hearing their words, remained silent, only staring at them.

The Purple-Robed Youth, noticing his gaze, seemed to be confirming something with him. He smiled, his lips curling. "I always keep my word. You must have felt the trace of my Dao Heart just now. I won't tarnish my Dao Heart for worthless lives like yours."

Emperor Yu remained silent, then slowly said, "But you must also ensure that not just you, but none of the others will harm them. Spare them all."

Upon hearing this, the playful smile on the Purple-Robed Youth's face froze, and his expression slowly turned dark.

The hidden meaning in his words had been seen through by this old man.

Earlier, he had only spoken for himself, not for the others.

He could spare their lives, but if the others decided to attack, it wouldn't be his problem.

This subtle thought had been noticed by the woman of extraordinary beauty, and his companions had tacitly agreed, waiting for the emperor to kneel and then witness the rage and despair when they still killed his people.

But the emperor had seen through their plan.

"Has no one ever told you that being too smart can be tragic?"

The Purple-Robed Youth's eyes turned cold. "You could have lived a bit longer and provided us with some entertainment, but you chose to die early!"

"Showing your intelligence at the wrong time is foolish!"

With a sudden burst of power, he slammed Emperor Yu's body into the ground.

The ground was gouged with deep craters as Emperor Yu's body spewed more blood. The rate of bone marrow regeneration, restricted by the Dao, was excruciatingly slow.

He lay on the ground, devoid of the power to even crawl up. With their methods, these people could easily trample his body and force him to kneel.

But while his body could not resist, his will refused to submit.

"You bastards!"

The crowd also realized they had been tricked, never expecting such treachery and deliberate torment.

An Imperial Consort, enraged, began to curse, but before she could finish, a young man glanced at her. Her body suddenly exploded without any warning.

Blood splattered everywhere, the scalding liquid landing on Li Muxiu and others, igniting their blood and fury like sparks. They clenched their fists, trembling with anger, but ultimately gritted their teeth and endured.

They knew that any attack, no matter how enraged, would only lead to their deaths.

Only by surviving did they have a chance.

"Boring. Die."

The Purple-Robed Youth approached Emperor Yu, his eyes meeting the defiant gaze. A hint of killing intent flickered in his eyes.

He suddenly raised his foot, ready to stomp down on Emperor Yu's head, intending to crush his eyes along with it!

Whoosh!

But suddenly, a rapid whistling sound pierced the air.

With astonishing momentum, it burst through the sky from a hundred miles away, as if connecting heaven and earth, and crashed through the high walls of the Imperial Palace, hurtling toward the Purple-Robed Youth.

The Purple-Robed Youth's eyes turned cold, and he retracted his foot, raising his hand to deflect the incoming projectile.

Boom!!

A burst of power erupted from his palm, striking the demon corpse that resembled a cannonball.

The demon corpse, already partially revealed as a massive, mountain-like creature tens of yards long, rushed forward with the force of a meteor. However, as the power from the Purple-Robed Youth's palm erupted, the corpse exploded, blood splattering the sky.

The five figures in mid-air revealed their Dao power, blocking the blood from touching them, not a single drop staining their bodies.

But the rest of the area was drenched in a rain of blood.

Chunks of flesh splattered down, the exploding blood mingling with the blood rain, turning the square around the Purple-Robed Youth a deep red.

This sudden and shocking event left Li Muxiu and the others, who were already filled with sorrow and despair, stunned.

However, the first to react was the elderly Respected Mo Yang, standing silently at the edge of the battlefield like an old servant.

He heard the whistling sound and recognized the rapidly approaching demon corpse—it was none other than Zi Yue Ji's body!

How could this be?

Respected Mo Yang was momentarily stunned, then quickly turned to look in that direction. He saw a young man's figure, having crossed a hundred miles, bypassing the devastated Imperial City, and arriving at the Imperial Palace they controlled.

The young man's eyes were cold, devoid of emotion, his gaze fixed on the Purple-Robed Youth and his companions on the battlefield, while he completely ignored the only demon present, the elderly Respected Mo Yang.

Respected Mo Yang was taken aback and quickly regained his composure, shock evident in his eyes.

Although he had never met Li Hao, such a young man with such extraordinary and unique presence could only be the one he despised deeply!

When had the other party arrived, without him sensing a single trace of his presence?

How did Zi Yue Ji and the others die?

Respected Mo Yang's divine sense rapidly extended, and he immediately saw that, besides Zi Yue Ji, the Demonic Night Emperor was also dead!

Two Dao Enlightenment True Person Realm cultivators, dead without making a single sound?

Respected Mo Yang was dumbfounded, finding it hard to believe.

Meanwhile, the crowd on the square also turned their attention, and when they saw Li Hao's appearance, many of them looked bewildered, clearly seeing him for the first time and not recognizing him.

But they reacted quickly. Such a young man with such formidable presence—there was only one person in the entire Dayu Divine Dynasty.

General Haotian!

Was it him?

Many were surprised. In such a perilous and desperate situation, he had chosen not to flee but to come to their aid?

"Li Hao!"

Li Muxiu, upon seeing Li Hao, couldn't help but exclaim in shock.

He hadn't expected Li Hao to actually come, but the current predicament was a hundred times worse than Qingzhou City. This time, it wasn't just a Great Peace Dao Realm Demon King but a top-tier Enlightened Realm monster!

Xia Linglong, Xia Yuanwu, and others were also stunned, then their expressions darkened as they shouted:

"Quick, go!"

"General Haotian, run!"

They had endured humiliation and frustration, all because they still harbored a glimmer of hope.

That hope was Li Hao.

As long as Li Hao survived, given time, he would surely reclaim Dayu swiftly.

Even enduring the Mass Suffering would be better than the Demons wiping out their entire race.

But now, Li Hao had arrived.

Apart from Xia Linglong and others who anxiously shouted, the other members of the royal family who recognized Li Hao's identity immediately grew tense.

They had heard many tales about this young man. Although he was powerful, he was still too young, only sixteen years old. Even if he could match Taoist Qin, he was no match for these six.

Moreover, these six had been relaxed and casual from the start, never using their full strength.

"Dammit, what are you doing here? Who told you to come? Quick, go!"

In the crowd, Li Tiangang's face turned pale when he saw Li Hao. He couldn't help but roar in shock and anger.

"Want to leave? Now that you're here, it's too late."

"Seems like an interesting guy has arrived."

"Hmm, my Purple Apex Spirit Eye Divine Powers can't even discern his aura."

The five figures in the air subtly shifted their positions, blocking Li Hao's escape route.

They all scrutinized Li Hao, their eyes filled with intense interest.

Li Hao ignored the anxious calls of Xia Linglong and the others. Since arriving at the Imperial Palace square, his gaze had remained fixed on the blood-soaked old man.

The old man's hands and feet had been crippled, and he lay limp in a pool of blood.

Not long ago, this man had been in the Wattle Yard, playing chess and chatting with him.

Such a short time had passed...

Li Hao whispered, "Can you spare them?"

The Purple-Robed Youth smiled. "Why should I? Just because of you? You haven't even grasped the situation..."

In an instant, Li Hao vanished from in front of him!

Teleportation?

But there was no Dao Resonance!

The Purple-Robed Youth was momentarily stunned, a sense of dread rising within him.

At the same time, a terrifying punch suddenly attacked from his side, the force so great that it compressed the air into arcs of light.

Bang!

Like a mountain being shaken, the violent punch struck the Purple-Robed Youth's head directly. His Dao Power had only just begun to activate, but the attack had already landed.

The Flight Segment Attribute triggered, doubling the attack range!

The punch had barely lifted when it hit!

Blood and brain matter splattered. The Purple-Robed Youth's handsome face was instantly shattered by the punch, his brain exploding.

Li Hao's attack was swift and decisive. As soon as the punch landed, he immediately followed up with a rapid series of punches.

The shock of his head being shattered caused the Purple-Robed Youth, who relied on his Physical Body's brain for thinking, to hesitate. Li Hao's rain of punches then pummeled the unprotected and damaged skull.

These punches weren't heavy, but they were extremely rapid. The Yellow Sparrow Map's lethal attribute was triggered upon direct contact, acting like a scythe of death.

The Purple-Robed Youth's Divine Soul, previously composed and elegant, now erupted in rage. But before he could activate his Divine Powers, a terrifying shadow suddenly enveloped him.

The world before his eyes turned pitch black.

What?

The Purple-Robed Youth froze, only to realize that his five senses had been deprived, and his body was plummeting rapidly.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Several of his life-saving Holy Heart Treasures shattered on his body.

But it didn't change anything. His body seemed to split apart, his senses fading as he fell into the Abyss.

"No..."

The Divine Soul, wrapped in divine law, was as brilliant as divine fire but quickly extinguished.

The headless corpse stiffened and fell, its life force extinguished.

This sudden turn of events left Xia Linglong and the others, who had been shouting anxiously, and the five who had been observing Li Hao with interest, stunned.

The shouts were abruptly silenced, and the square fell into a deathly silence.

But in this silence, Li Hao's actions did not stop. After killing the Purple-Robed Youth, he immediately used Return to the Abyss to teleport and attack the nearest beautiful woman.

She had a face that could bring disaster, and she was momentarily stunned, looking breathtakingly beautiful. But Li Hao showed no mercy. The moment he teleported close, he unleashed a powerful punch.

Bang!

But this time, the punch was blocked by a Dao Power. A faint green light emerged from her chest, as if a supreme treasure was defending her.

In this brief moment, the woman reacted, her face changing as she hurriedly tried to teleport away, increasing the distance between them.

Her teleportation was not the Return to the Abyss kind, but rather the Dao Harmony Traction of the Dao Mind Realm, which left behind a residual Dao Resonance that allowed Li Hao's Fifteen Dao Domains to instantly overlap and envelop the area the moment it emerged.

That trace of Dao Resonance was immediately blocked.

But the woman's reaction was also extremely quick, and she roared, "Get out of the way!"

This was not just a shout of anger but a command infused with the power of Word as Law!

Li Hao's body actually felt a strong urge to curl up and roll backward.

However, with the Fifteen Dao Domains overlapping, the law's penetration, though rapid, still caused a slight delay.

In that brief moment of delay, Li Hao's fist, condensed with Immortal Qi, pierced through the obstruction of Dao Power and struck her head directly.

With a loud bang, the woman's flawless beauty shattered instantly, her delicate nose and eyes tearing apart, her head exploding.

But before Li Hao could strike again, two furious shouts of "Suppress!" echoed.

With a thud, the Fifteen Dao Domains suddenly contracted, retreating into Li Hao's body. At the same time, Li Hao's body was forcefully pushed down, about to be pinned to the ground.

Li Hao quickly used Return to the Abyss to teleport to another location, trying to evade.

But the power of the law followed him like a shadow, chasing him the moment he moved.

Bang!

The two forces still struck him directly. The ground beneath his feet sank sharply, and the earth split apart.

Yet, Li Hao stood tall, his body radiating intense golden light, activating the Divine Power State. The power of the Heaven-Earth Meridian converged, transforming that mouthful of Immortal Qi into the Power of Heaven and Earth, allowing him to enter the Transcend to Immortality state.

With eighty percent of Transcend to Immortality power, Li Hao managed to withstand the Suppress command, avoiding being forced to the ground.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, from Li Hao's initial strike against the Purple-Robed Youth to the explosion of the beautiful woman's head, it took no more than a single breath.

The beautiful woman's head quickly regenerated, forming a stunningly beautiful face once more, but her expression was one of extreme anger, her eyes glaring at Li Hao.

The other four individuals were also grave, their gazes fixed on Li Hao.

From their brief exchange, they immediately judged that this young man was incredibly powerful, his methods even more terrifying than those of Taoist Qin.

However, in appearance, the two were worlds apart in age.

While they did not care much about an old and feeble Dao Law Realm cultivator like Taoist Qin, Li Hao was clearly an extremely monstrous existence.

"Be careful, he has mastered the Return to the Abyss Ultimate Realm!"

The young man in yellow and white robes, with a noble demeanor and eyes like an icy lake, spoke in a low, solemn voice.

Hearing his words, the pupils of the other four slightly contracted, a hint of shock appearing in their eyes.

Return to the Abyss Ultimate Realm?

It was this ultimate realm that he had mastered, no wonder his teleportation was so strange and unpredictable.

Martial Dao Apex techniques vary in difficulty. For example, the Force Mastery Limit and the Divine Power Ultimate Realm are relatively easier, requiring only a deep foundation, abundant Divine Pills and treasures to refine the physical body, and a large amount of time spent cultivating body refinement techniques to gradually accumulate a million physical body power and activate the Blood and Flesh Potential Ultimate Realm.

In simpler terms, with enough time, resources, and a bit of insight, most prodigies can achieve this.

However, the Return to the Abyss Ultimate Realm is among the more difficult. Object Control Techniques are not easy to cultivate. One must cultivate multiple top-tier Object Control Techniques, understand their interrelations, and fill in the gaps, requiring a very high level of insight.

Among them, only the young man in yellow and white robes had mastered it.

With this realm, killing enemies is as easy as taking something from a pocket, and movements are as elusive as a ghost, impossible to predict.

Unless one is aware in advance and constantly sets up defenses around the body, they cannot avoid being ambushed.

As the five individuals grew serious, Li Hao's expression also turned grave. This was the first time someone had directly pointed out the Power he was using.

Was the opponent in possession of relevant information, or did they themselves possess such an ability?

Li Hao became wary.

He had never fought against someone from the Return to the Abyss Ultimate Realm, but he knew it would be extremely terrifying.

Because he couldn't guard against sudden attacks from such beings.

The scene fell into a brief silence, but the crowd on the square soon regained their senses, their faces showing shock.

If they hadn't been mistaken, Li Hao had actually gained the upper hand in that brief exchange?!

And in just one move, he had actually killed that Purple-Robed Youth!

Everyone stared at the headless corpse lying motionless on the ground, and it was clear to anyone that the person was dead!

Just moments ago, this being, who could casually toy with Emperor Yu and effortlessly crush those in the Ultimate Mastery Realm, had been obliterated by Li Hao in a single move!

Not only did Li Hao shatter his head, but he also extinguished his Divine Soul using a method they couldn't understand!

What was even more incomprehensible was that the opponent couldn't defend against Li Hao's sudden attack.

Those in the Fourth Establishment Realm could see that Li Hao's instant teleportation wasn't a result of Dao resonance traction, but rather a technique they had never seen before.

"Old Daoist, may I borrow your sword?"

Li Hao glanced at the five people, knowing that a fierce battle was about to ensue. The Old Daoist in the deep pit responded.

Taoist Qin's previously numb and lifeless eyes had shown emotion since Li Hao's appearance. Now, as Li Hao killed the Purple-Robed Youth with a single punch, his eyes widened in shock.

He knew better than anyone else how terrifying the Purple-Robed Youth was. He had thought Li Hao was walking into a trap, but this young man had actually killed a Dao Law Realm being with a flurry of punches?

"You can borrow it, and I can give it to you if you like."

Hearing Li Hao's words, Taoist Qin responded with excitement, though his voice was weak, and he coughed up more blood as he spoke.

Li Hao nodded slightly, then raised his hand, and the sword embedded in Taoist Qin's chest was yanked out, landing in his hand.

This caused Taoist Qin additional pain, but it was better than being pinned to the ground by the sword.

Holding the sword, Li Hao's aura seemed to change, his eyes becoming even colder.

His Object Control Power activated, moving Emperor Yu's body behind him to prevent them from using it to restrain him during the upcoming battle.

"Child, didn't you receive the Secret Edict I sent to the Wang Family?"

Emperor Yu struggled to his feet, looking at Li Hao's figure with a mix of relief and complexity in his eyes.

"The head of the Wang Family told me", Li Hao replied without turning around, his gaze fixed on the five figures in the air.

"Why did you still come?" Emperor Yu asked with a bitter smile. "The situation here is worse than you can imagine. They are from the vast Land of Sages within the Immortal Gate, far stronger than the Buddhist Master you encountered."

"I can see that."

Li Hao's expression was serious.

Emperor Yu fell silent, understanding from Li Hao's reaction that the young man didn't have much confidence.

But he had still come.

"Being able to control the Return to the Abyss Ultimate Realm, you are indeed a talent. I advise you not to be foolish. The Jiang Family is doomed, and so is this place. Resisting us is opposing the will of the heavens!"

"You don't represent the heavens."

Li Hao swung the sword in his hand, seemingly testing its weight, then slowly said:

"Besides, the heavens can't manage the affairs of the Mortal World!"

"Then you are courting death!"

The yellow-robed youth suddenly said in a low voice, "Divine Powers, Return of All Things to Their Source!"

As he spoke, Dao Law condensed, and a terrifying rule was imposed.

Li Hao immediately felt his Fifteen Dao Domains rapidly contracting, regressing and disappearing!

The Fifteen Dao Domains vanished in an instant.

Li Hao's pupils dilated. Although he had anticipated that this battle would be extremely difficult, he hadn't expected it to be so bizarre.

Whoosh!

His body instantly teleported using Return to the Abyss, charging toward the yellow-robed youth.

At the same moment, the yellow-robed youth also teleported, and there was no discernible Dao resonance or traction.

When the two reappeared, their positions had swapped, and neither could sense the other's location.
