Chapter 302: Annihilation, Holy Son Revealed (Part 2 Unity)
Escape!
The Yellow and White Garbed Youth suddenly teleported to the Netherwast Teleportation point, but this time, he appeared beside the stunned Elder Demon Ram.
Elder Demon Ram had been standing there as an observer from start to finish, watching the rapid changes in the battle with wide eyes.
From Li Hao's sudden attack and slaying of the Purple-Robed Youth, to being heavily injured by the five of them, and then turning the tide to kill them all, it all happened in less than half an incense stick's time.
Now, seeing the Yellow and White Garbed Youth appear nearby, Elder Demon Ram was momentarily stunned, then abruptly snapped to attention, his hair standing on end. He hastily teleported away, fleeing in another direction.
That young man was too terrifying, having slain six Dao Law Realm beings in the blink of an eye, their divine powers shattered. It was simply horrifying!
But soon, the Yellow and White Garbed Youth teleported again, appearing in front of him.
"Damn it, what are you doing?!"
Elder Demon Ram couldn't maintain his previous politeness, shouting in desperation.
The intent was clear: he was being used as a decoy to draw Li Hao's attention, allowing the Yellow and White Garbed Youth to escape!
His heart pounded fiercely. Though he was furious, he was also terrified.
Whoosh!
In the next moment, Li Hao appeared beside him.
Elder Demon Ram's pupils contracted, and he was about to unleash a Dao Art attack. Even if he died, he would fight to the bitter end; a Dao Law Realm expert would never sit idly by.
But Li Hao's figure flickered and vanished, abandoning him to pursue the Yellow and White Garbed Youth.
The Yellow and White Garbed Youth saw this and was shocked, roaring in anger:
"What are you doing? They are demons! Why aren't you killing them and chasing me instead?"
Li Hao was taken aback, surprised by the other's panicked and foolish words.
"He's too weak, I can kill him anytime. Of course, I'll kill you first."
Li Hao replied.
Netherwast Teleportation, while he could track the traces, if given some time, the Yellow and White Garbed Youth could escape his grasp. Once the traces vanished, it would be much harder to catch up.
"You—!"
The Yellow and White Garbed Youth gritted his teeth in rage, while Elder Demon Ram's lips twitched, realizing he had survived because of this.
Weakness had its advantages.
He felt a bit embarrassed but didn't look back, using Dao Rhyme Traction to instantly teleport in the opposite direction, fleeing at full speed.
Li Hao, however, caught up with the Yellow and White Garbed Youth in an instant.
Whoosh!
The Yellow and White Garbed Youth, having witnessed Li Hao's terrifying power, had no intention of fighting. He only wanted to save his life.
But his Netherwast Teleportation traces were caught by Li Hao. The moment he reappeared, Li Hao had already arrived, striking with a swift sword.
The Yellow and White Garbed Youth was terrified and quickly thrust his spear, but Li Hao's Sword Light deflected the ancient spear, slicing through his Dao Domain and severing his arm.
"Spare my life, spare me! I'll serve you as a slave!"
The Yellow and White Garbed Youth, in pain and fear, pleaded desperately.
"Slaves are a dime a dozen. I don't need you."
Li Hao casually swung his sword, the Sword Light ready to tear through his head.
But the Yellow and White Garbed Youth's eyes suddenly filled with venomous hatred. His body erupted; he had mastered the Heaven-Earth Meridian, and now it burst forth like a flood, channeling a vast, surging power into a spear thrust toward Li Hao.
He had been secretly gathering his Major Meridians while pleading, determined to survive at any cost, even if it meant losing his Ultimate Realm.
Boom!
The Sword Light and Spear Light clashed, emitting a terrifying glow.
Li Hao's Sword Light was forced back, but he immediately struck again with a powerful sword swing.
The Spear Light shattered, and the Yellow and White Garbed Youth's eyes widened in horror. In the next moment, his head was severed, and Li Hao followed with a punch that shattered his body, reducing it to dust.
A Soul Spirit emerged, his face filled with terror and despair. He pleaded one last time: "Don't kill me! I can exchange my divine powers, I—"
Li Hao's raised hand paused briefly.
Divine Powers.
The divine powers displayed by the others earlier were indeed extremely powerful, far surpassing ordinary Dao Arts.
"How many Divine Powers do you have?"
Li Hao asked.
The Yellow and White Garbed Youth’s Soul Spirit saw that Li Hao was willing to communicate and immediately felt a sense of relief, secretly rejoicing. As long as he could stay alive, he would always have a chance to escape. Moreover, teaching Divine Powers? Too naive! He was indeed a mere ant from the Mortal World!
He only needed to make a few adjustments while teaching the Divine Powers, which would cause Li Hao to practice incorrectly, or even prevent him from learning them in the short term, wasting his cultivation time and talent.
"Four Divine Powers. The Heaven-Banned Earth-Sealed Divine Ability I used last is a top-tier Divine Power!"
The Yellow and White Garbed Youth quickly said, "I can teach all of them to you. If you find it insufficient, once you reach the Land of Sages, I can find more for you or take you to my sect..."
At this point, he glanced at Li Hao and quickly stopped, avoiding any misunderstanding that he was trying to lure him to his sect.
"Teach me these four first."
Li Hao said.
The Yellow and White Garbed Youth hesitated, "This..."
"Don’t dilly-dally, or those Demons will escape." Li Hao said coldly.
The Yellow and White Garbed Youth was taken aback, not expecting that Li Hao was still paying attention to the Elder Demon Ram and had no intention of letting it go.
"Teaching is not something that can be done in a day or two, I..."
The Yellow and White Garbed Youth laughed bitterly.
Li Hao didn’t bother with further words. He raised his palm and restrained him, saying, "First, come with me to kill the demon."
With that, he carried the Yellow and White Garbed Youth and charged toward the Elder Demon Ram.
The Yellow and White Garbed Youth didn’t resist. At this moment, he could only think about how to escape in the future.
Meanwhile, Li Hao continuously used Netherwast Teleportation, covering a vast range. He manipulated the Heaven and Earth Power, forming a Sharp Sword. Using the enhanced attack of Flying Segment and the hidden attributes of Hidden Bow, he launched a powerful strike.
Boom!
The Elder Demon Ram, which had already fled the Imperial Palace and Imperial City, was swiftly caught up by Li Hao. Just as it was a few hundred miles away, Li Hao’s Sharp Sword suddenly struck, entering his attack range.
The fierce Sword Qi tore through the Elder Demon Ram’s Dao Domain, splitting its body.
The Elder Demon Ram roared in anger, revealing its true form—a massive demonic sheep with its fur bristling, emitting a nightmare-like aura of malice.
It roared and unleashed its Dao Art, trying to buy a sliver of hope for survival.
But Li Hao had already used Netherwast Teleportation to catch up, and with a flick of his wrist, he summoned hundreds of miles of Heaven and Earth Power, condensing it in an instant and slashing out with lightning speed.
Pfft!
The Dao Art was dispelled, and the Sword Light cut through, splitting its body.
Respected Mo Yang let out a mournful howl and an angry roar, his Dao Art causing a massive disturbance, creating a sky-covering phenomenon. The clear sky suddenly turned pitch black, with dark, ominous magic light spreading from afar.
"Even in my presence, you dare to obscure the sky!"
Li Hao suddenly raised his hand, sweeping away the sky-covering magic light with the vast Heaven and Earth Power. The dark magic light vanished instantly, and the sky returned to its clear blue, even more vibrant than before, with the sun’s golden divine light reflecting in the clouds.
Respected Mo Yang’s eyes showed despair, but he didn’t speak. Instead, he refined his Soul Spirit, trying to use its power for a final desperate attempt.
Seeing his intense struggle, Li Hao was not afraid. He simply turned to the Yellow and White Garbed Youth beside him and said, "You go and deal with him."
"Ah, me?"
The Yellow and White Garbed Youth was taken aback. When he saw Li Hao’s cold gaze, he laughed bitterly, "But I only have my Soul Spirit, and I might not be his match."
"Defeat him, then tell me about the Divine Powers, and I will spare your life." Li Hao said directly.
The Yellow and White Garbed Youth’s eyes narrowed as he sized up Li Hao, trying to gauge the truth of his words. "Can you swear by your Dao Heart?"
"Swearing by my Dao Heart for you, are you worth it?" Li Hao countered.
The Yellow and White Garbed Youth was embarrassed, knowing this was unlikely, and said, "Then I’ll do my best."
With that, he looked at the Elder Demon Ram, his eyes filled with killing intent. He took a step, using Netherwast Teleportation to swiftly attack.
Soon, the two engaged in a fierce battle. Elder Demon Ram displayed astonishing power, clashing intensely with the Yellow and White Garbed Youth.
The Yellow and White Garbed Youth, however, whispered while fighting, “I’m just feigning an attack. I admit it was wrong of me to run earlier, but if we want to survive, we need to work together now!”
“Do you think he’ll let us go? Get lost!”
Elder Demon Ram, however, saw through it more clearly and sneered, “He said he’d spare your life, but he didn’t say he wouldn’t cripple you or let others kill you. If you don’t believe me, ask him yourself.”
The Yellow and White Garbed Youth’s face changed, and he couldn’t help but look at Li Hao.
Li Hao remained calm and said, “Still can’t resolve it?”
Although the other party’s actions were subtle, Li Hao still noticed his secret communication. Clearly, he still had ulterior motives, but Li Hao wasn’t surprised.
The Yellow and White Garbed Youth’s expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly said, “I’m on it!”
With that, he took advantage of the close combat to give Elder Demon Ram a meaningful look.
Elder Demon Ram understood his intentions but also wanted to escape. The two fought while gradually moving closer to Li Hao. Suddenly, Elder Demon Ram released a strange Dao Art, black gas forming chains that wrapped around Li Hao.
In an instant, the chains landed on Li Hao, trying to penetrate and bind him.
“Stop struggling. If you want to kill me, we’ll die together!”
Elder Demon Ram’s eyes showed a mix of surprise and ferocity as he said, “This is an ancient and incomplete Divine Power, the Life-Bound Chain. Now your life is bound to mine. If he wants to kill us, we’ll both die!”
The Yellow and White Garbed Youth’s face changed. If that were true, wouldn’t he be the only outsider left here?
But soon, he saw Li Hao raise his hand and, in the moment when Respected Mo Yang let his guard down, slash with his sword.
The Sword Light was like a river, splitting Respected Mo Yang’s body. The explosive Sword Qi pierced through him, and in an instant, his soul spirit trembled as if he had seen something impossible, exclaiming, “How, how is this possible?”
His body then exploded, his soul and spirit utterly annihilated.
The Yellow and White Garbed Youth hurriedly looked at Li Hao, only to see that Li Hao was unharmed, not sharing the fate the other had predicted.
Li Hao glanced at the thoroughly dead Respected Mo Yang. When the Dao Art had merged with his body, it was immediately absorbed.
If it had been any other Dao Art, it might have caused some harm, but the Life-Bound Chain had a special effect. Given that Li Hao was in the Ultimate Transcendence to Immortality stage, it was impossible for it to connect with him, as he was already one with Heaven and Earth.
Being bound to Li Hao’s life would be like being bound to Heaven and Earth.
How could that be possible?
If it were truly possible, it would mean eternal life and indestructibility.
Li Hao looked at the Yellow and White Garbed Youth and said, “Tell me about your Divine Powers.”
The Yellow and White Garbed Youth was taken aback. Coming back to his senses, he realized that the surprise and ferocity on Respected Mo Yang’s face were genuine, indicating that the terrifying Divine Power had been nullified by this young man through some unknown method.
He found Li Hao increasingly inscrutable. But considering that Li Hao was likely a Reincarnation of a Sage, perhaps it was a memory that occasionally leaked or a premeditated move, giving him power beyond his realm and even some strange abilities, which made sense.
“About this…”
He hesitated, but seeing Li Hao’s cold gaze, he had no choice but to begin teaching.
As he had planned, the four Divine Powers he taught had flaws. If Li Hao truly learned and cultivated them, it would play right into his hands.
He deliberately showed hesitation and reluctance, trying to appear extremely unwilling and nervous to avoid raising Li Hao’s suspicions.
Seeing his act, Li Hao didn’t expose him. He had considered the possibility of false cultivation techniques, which were not uncommon in the Mortal World’s Jianghu.
But…
As the Divine Powers were taught, a panel appeared before Li Hao’s eyes.
【You have comprehended a high-grade Divine Power, Heavenly Ban, Earthly Seal. Do you want to add it to the panel?】
Li Hao chose yes.
Soon, the panel added a new Divine Power.
Then came the second, the third.
In total, four Divine Powers: one high-grade, two medium-grade, and one low-grade.
The earlier Imprisonment, which had restricted Li Hao’s Dao Domain, was a medium-grade Divine Power.
However, although the Divine Powers have been recorded in the Panel, Li Hao’s Seventh Rank Yudao seems unable to fully comprehend them, showing only the “Initial Enlightenment” level.
Despite this, the information about the Divine Powers provided by the Panel clearly differs from what Li Hao had just heard.
Clearly, these are the hidden “thorns” within the Divine Powers.
Li Hao was unperturbed. Compared to his opponent, he naturally trusted the Panel more.
“I’ve said my piece. Cultivating these Divine Powers is extremely difficult. Just reaching the Initial Enlightenment level takes three to five years of comprehension. If you want to achieve ‘Mastery’ and be able to wield them at will, like I can, with your talent, you should be able to do it within ten years.”
The Yellow and White Garbed Youth, who had been cold and calm, now wore a face of servility, as if he had transformed into a different person. He looked at Li Hao with reverence and politeness.
“If you can listen to the Sage Dao Sound and hear the Sage preach, it will greatly enhance your comprehension. Even for the higher-grade Divine Powers, you could comprehend them within five years.”
He humbly said, “In the Holy Land where I come from, there is a Sage. If you’re willing, I can introduce you to them. With your talent, it would be easy to become a disciple of the Sage.”
“Is that so?”
Li Hao calmly replied, “Is there anything else you want to say?”
The Yellow and White Garbed Youth was taken aback, his face changing as he nervously said, “Do you want to kill me? But you promised earlier, you agreed to spare me.”
“Hmm.”
Li Hao nodded. “I said I would spare your life, so you are free to go.”
The Yellow and White Garbed Youth was stunned, not expecting Li Hao to actually keep his word.
He felt a mix of surprise and excitement. Was this mortal youth so naive?
He hurriedly said, “Thank you, I will always remember your great kindness!”
Of course, these were just words. His offer to introduce Li Hao to the Sage was a ploy to ensure his survival.
After saying this, he bowed to Li Hao and quickly used Netherwast Teleportation to flee into the distance.
But he didn’t get far before Li Hao teleported after him.
“”
The Yellow and White Garbed Youth was bewildered, looking at Li Hao in confusion.
Li Hao grinned slightly and said, “I just spared you, yet you were so careless to be caught again.”
“!!”
The Yellow and White Garbed Youth was stunned, his face suddenly turning pale with shock and anger. “You’re not a man of your word!”
“Do you think someone who slaughters like a beast deserves to be trusted?”
Li Hao’s eyes turned cold, and the Sword Light in his hand flickered, summoning the Power of Heaven and Earth to strike, tearing his Soul Spirit apart.
“I will never let you go, even in death!”
The Yellow and White Garbed Youth’s face was filled with hatred and fury as he screamed.
“Even in life, you couldn’t do much. Do you think you can turn the tide in death?”
Li Hao asked.
The Yellow and White Garbed Youth felt a surge of blood rising to his throat, almost spitting it out, feeling utterly enraged and dizzy.
But soon, his Soul Spirit was completely severed by Li Hao.
From his Soul Spirit, a dark light emerged, and with the Ultimate Transcendence to Immortality’s fine control over Heaven and Earth, Li Hao sensed that this was the Divine Soul’s remnant, seemingly drawn toward a distant point in the void. Li Hao guessed it might be heading toward a Mourning River.
Suddenly, he had a feeling that he might be able to bind this remnant.
Thinking of it, he acted. Li Hao’s power erupted, the Power of Heaven and Earth contracting and oscillating, locking the remnant in place.
To Li Hao’s surprise, he actually managed to bind it, freezing it in the void.
The Yellow and White Garbed Youth, now in the form of a remnant, was stunned, his consciousness transitioning from confusion to clarity. Just after his death, he felt his body being uncontrollably drawn to a certain place, his mind hazy. But now, he suddenly became clear, and when he saw Li Hao, he was bewildered.
Am I not dead yet?
But soon, he saw Li Hao’s sword lifting, and it swiftly slashed down.
The Yellow and White Garbed Youth’s pupils dilated as he tried to block, but the power was too strong, tearing him apart and quickly reducing him to fragments.
Li Hao had only wanted to try, but he never expected to actually be able to bind and kill the remnant!
After all, when a soul dies, it becomes a remnant, which cycles to avoid being completely eradicated. This is a mercy from the heavens.
Even Dao Law Realm experts, let alone those below, find it extremely difficult to harm or touch a remnant, as if they exist in a different dimension.
But now, with the Ultimate Transcendence to Immortality’s control over Heaven and Earth, Li Hao could not only bind the remnant but also kill it!
Is it completely extinguished?
Li Hao was somewhat dazed; this Power seemed a bit too overwhelming.
But soon, he noticed a faint trace in the shattered remains, which flashed and disappeared.
Li Hao was taken aback, suspecting it was an illusion, but he quickly realized it wasn't. Could it be that the creature could reincarnate even after death?
Li Hao was puzzled, feeling that this might involve a secret of the Mourning River, something perhaps only known to those in the Sage Realm.
Li Hao paused for a moment, glancing at the massive corpse of the respected Mo Yang, who had been taken by the Fatal Attribute.
He shook his head slightly, then turned and rushed toward the Imperial City of the Imperial Palace. It was time to deal with that guy, who was likely the true mastermind.
By the time Li Hao returned to the Imperial Palace, he found that the aura was still there, lingering in the shadows. If not for his extremely refined perception of Heaven and Earth, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.
But now, it felt as though that presence was standing on his body.
"General Haotian……"
In the square, Emperor Yu and the others saw Li Hao return and were instantly filled with excitement.
The shift in events had been too rapid, almost incomprehensible. From Li Hao slaying the Exquisite Beauty to the subsequent counter-kills, he had chased the Yellow and White Garbed Youth to the outskirts of the Imperial Palace, forcing him to flee in disarray.
Single-handedly, he had defeated and slain six Dao Law Realm experts.
It was simply unbelievable!
The most terrifying part was that Li Hao seemed to still be in the Great Peace Dao Realm. They couldn't tell if he had broken through during the battle, but they hadn't sensed any aura of the Enlightened Realm from him.
It was too frightening, simply beyond comprehension and imagination!
Li Muxiu, clenching his fists in excitement, rushed forward quickly. "Li Hao, are you okay?"
"Master, don't come over."
Li Hao said in a low voice.
Li Muxiu was taken aback, his face changing slightly, thinking Li Hao was concerned about the Li Family. But soon, he noticed the seriousness in Li Hao's eyes as he gazed at a certain spot.
His expression changed, and he immediately followed Li Hao's gaze.
At the same time, the Holy Son of Void Origin, who had been hiding in the dark void using Divine Powers, was stunned.
How could this be?
His eyes revealed a hint of shock. Despite his Divine Powers, he had been detected?
Earlier, he had followed the Yellow and White Garbed Youth and the other five, using the Elder Demon Ram to clear the way while he hid in the shadows. This battle was about plundering Incense, and he had no reason not to be here.
But after seeing the two Demon Race members, he was concerned they might show up. If a conflict arose, he would let the Yellow and White Garbed Youth and the others handle it, testing their strength. After all, he had invited them, and they had agreed.
However, the Demon Race didn't appear; instead, Li Hao did.
Entering the Imperial Palace alone, he had turned the tide of battle. From the moment Li Hao appeared, the situation had rapidly deteriorated, leaving the Holy Son of Void Origin stunned.
He didn't dare move. His Divine Powers could shield a space, but if he left, his aura would be exposed, and Li Hao would come after him.
Though he was confident he could defeat any one of the six individually, their combined strength would be too much even for him.
Moreover, he had noticed that Li Hao seemed to be able to sense the traces of the Netherwasteland Extreme Realm. He didn't know how Li Hao had detected it, but it was too incredible.
If he engaged Li Hao in battle, Li Hao could use Netherwast Teleportation to evade him, while he would be caught and pursued by Li Hao, leaving him with no chance of victory.
He had planned to wait here until Li Hao returned and then left again, even if it took ten or fifteen days. He could afford to wait.
But he hadn't expected Li Hao to detect him as soon as he returned.
Or perhaps, Li Hao had detected him all along and deliberately left him for last.
Whoosh!
The Holy Son of Void Origin suddenly attacked, using Netherwast Teleportation to transfer his attack elsewhere.
Li Hao caught the trace, his expression changing as the attack was directed at Emperor Yu.
He swiftly teleported to block it, then saw the Holy Son of Void Origin rapidly teleporting away.
Li Hao hadn't expected Netherwast Teleportation to be able to directly transfer attacks. This meant that his attacks could be instantly redirected.
It was quite terrifying!
However, he had the Ultimate Transcendence to Immortality, or else this youth would have been far more troublesome than the previous six.
