Chapter 337: Defeating Chiguang with a Single Sword (Part 2)
Chapter 337: Defeating Chiguang with a Single Sword (Monthly Votes Request) (Part 2)
However, how much he could push Chiguang would depend on his own abilities... Chiguang's eyes flickered, and he glanced at the audience, pausing briefly on a few figures in robes and shaven heads before looking away.
At this moment, Li Hao also stepped onto the Battle Platform.
Having painted everyone, Li Hao had already assessed that Chiguang was, aside from himself, the strongest in the top ten, with a significant gap.
The others' painting experience was at most around 22,000, while Chiguang's was 35,000, a huge disparity.
It was worth noting that the gap between a Semi-Saint and Chiguang was only about 10,000 experience points.
And a 10,000 experience point difference in battle translated to a crushing advantage!
This also illustrated how much the 370,000 experience points initially provided by the Sword Master exceeded that of a Semi-Saint!
"As I expected, this final is our confrontation."
Once the Array solidified, Chiguang didn't rush to attack. He said calmly.
Li Hao nodded, "I yield to you."
Seeing Li Hao's lack of interest in further conversation, Chiguang's eyebrows raised slightly. He had a sense of mutual respect for Li Hao, but it seemed the feeling wasn't mutual.
While he had initially looked down on Li Hao's focus on other things, after this series of matches, he felt that, apart from a few exceptional individuals in the Holy Land, only Li Hao could keep up with him.
His true rivals were destined to be among those representing other worlds in the Canglan World.
"Earlier, you didn't use your sword. This time, do you still plan to avoid it?"
Chiguang gazed at Li Hao and asked.
Li Hao, reminded by his words, nodded and retrieved the pitch-black Achievement from the Heaven and Earth space.
The sword was entirely black, as if it could devour everything.
Chiguang smiled faintly and then flames erupted around his body. "Let's see if your sword can sever my fire!"
As he spoke, he suddenly attacked, revealing his Ultimate Realm. The Heaven and Earth Pulse converged, pushing his aura to its peak, and he waved his hand to unleash his fire-based Divine Powers.
"It's coming!"
In the audience, many of the prodigies who had previously been defeated by Chiguang narrowed their eyes.
That fire-type Divine Power was extremely terrifying, certain to hit and impossible to dodge. One could only endure it.
It was unclear whether Li Hao’s Sword Dao would still be affected under the scorching flames of that fire-type Divine Power.
At the moment Chiguang made his move, Li Hao immediately felt a surge of anger in his heart. The anger burned like a flame, igniting his emotions and making his blood boil with a sense of fury.
But soon, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and a Sword Intent suddenly arose in his heart.
Slash!
Unique Self Sword Technique, Slash the Fire in the Heart!
The burning anger subsided instantly, and Li Hao’s heart returned to the calm and tranquil state it had been in when he first stepped onto the stage.
He raised his hand and swung his sword.
On the black Achievement, a brilliant Sword Light of the Sun and Moon suddenly appeared, like a dazzling divine sun, radiating with intense brilliance, illuminating the entire Battle Platform.
With one slash, the divine sun seemed to burst, transforming into rolling waves of heat that surged toward Chiguang!
"My Sword Dao..."
Hao Yue Holy Son was taken aback, his pupils contracting, and his eyes filled with shock.
His Sword Intent had been used by the other party, and not just as a Sword Intent, but as a Sword Dao!
The vast and surging Sun and Moon were even more terrifying and exquisite than what he had ever achieved!
His own Sword Dao, which he had cultivated for years, had been not only understood but surpassed by the other party!
Hao Yue Holy Son’s face was a mix of shock and anger, turning pale. The Dao Heart he had stabilized was now cracking, a sense of cognitive collapse overwhelming him.
Chiguang saw the flames in Li Hao’s eyes disappear, and his previously calm expression turned to surprise. His pupils dilated in astonishment. His fire-type Divine Power had been extinguished?
He couldn’t discern what method Li Hao had used, but the overwhelming Sword Light now covered him.
The Sword Qi contained the might of Heaven and Earth, with countless rays of light interweaving in the Sun and Moon, reflecting the heavens and earth, and suppressing all things.
He felt as if ten thousand mountains had piled upon him, the weight so heavy that his knees ached and tore. Yet, a fierce divine light erupted from his eyes. Was this the other party’s strongest Sword Art?
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Sun and Moon Sword Dao descended like stars, causing the entire Battle Platform to crack and sink. Chiguang stood within the inferno, surrounded by flames, his eyes emitting a brilliant divine light, and a smile playing on his lips.
Bang!
The momentum of the divine sun’s eruption slashed through his body, sending him flying backward and crashing into the Array.
The Array trembled, and Chiguang’s body fell, his entire form riddled with cracks. This single sword strike had left him heavily injured.
He struggled to his feet, his blood still boiling, but he was making a concerted effort to control it, refraining from using his True Power.
A fiery domain formed around him, with forty layers of Dao Domain overlapping, barely managing to counteract Li Hao’s sword strike.
Despite this, his body was scorched and covered in cracks from the Sun and Moon’s reflection.
In the audience, everyone was stunned. They hadn’t expected Li Hao to unleash such unprecedented power against the formidable Chiguang.
Previously, Li Hao had used the Sun and Moon Sword Dao, but clearly hadn’t exerted his full strength, winning easily.
Now, they truly witnessed the terrifying power of this Sword Dao.
The Sun and Moon, carrying the might of Heaven and Earth, descended as if to flatten the entire Sacrificial Dao Mountain.
"This is Qing Feng’s sword? What a terrifying Sword Dao!"
People were shocked and discussed the matter in hushed tones, amazed by the hidden power of the other party.
In the crowd, many of the Sword Ancestor Sanctuary’s Holy Sons and Holy Maidens were left speechless.
They all recognized that this was not Qing Feng’s own Sword Dao, but Hao Yue Holy Son’s Sword Dao!
Moreover, Hao Yue Holy Son had only reached the Sword Intent stage, while Li Hao was now wielding the Sun and Moon Sword Dao!
The momentum was even more terrifying and complete, this was the true Sun and Moon Divine Sword!
Hao Yue Holy Son’s face was pale. The young man was not using his own sword, but Hao Yue Holy Son’s. This seemed to imply another terrifying fact.
Li Hao’s own Sword Dao was even more formidable!
After all, one’s own cultivated Sword Dao was incomparable to someone else’s. Li Hao had only engaged in a brief confrontation with him, and even if he had been secretly observing and studying him since arriving at the Sword Ancestor Sanctuary, it had been only a little over a year. To have achieved the Sun and Moon Sword Dao in such a short time, his insight was already astonishing.
If Li Hao were to wield his own Sword Dao, it would be even more terrifying.
Holy Son Hao Yue suddenly recalled that Li Hao's Sword Dao, which he used to defeat him earlier, seemed very similar to Lin Qingying's. It was the other party's sword!
At this thought, his expression grew even more grim.
What exactly was Li Hao's own Sword Dao?
Could it be that, like the Sword Saintmaster, he used the All Beings as Sword, making all the Sword Dao in the world his own?
At this thought, his heart trembled violently. He had used the sun and moon as his Sword Dao, aiming to reflect the myriad heavens, walking the same path as the Master. When he reflected the myriad heavens, he would naturally reflect all living beings under the light of the sun and moon. If his Sword Dao were to reach completion, it would not be inferior to the Master's!
But now, Li Hao was displaying his Sword Dao here.
If Li Hao's cultivation reached the Sage Realm, with sufficient power, this Sword Dao would erupt with even more terrifying might, truly reflecting heaven and earth, with all things becoming his sword!
Chiguang's body swayed, his wounds refusing to heal. The Sword Intent of the sun and moon that had penetrated his pores was still tearing apart his physical body.
He gazed at Li Hao, his eyes revealing excitement and a smile.
Li Hao stood quietly, holding his sword, looking at the other party. He could sense that the other still had other abilities he hadn't used.
"Is this your strongest Sword Dao? I've experienced it, and it's indeed very powerful!"
Chiguang's voice echoed directly in Li Hao's ear through telepathy.
Li Hao looked at the other, seeing that although he looked miserable, his eyes held a smile.
"Unfortunately, my ultimate move must be saved for the Buddhist Sect's Twins. I can't use it prematurely. I will take the first position of the Canglan World to compete. This position as the first Wanderer, I'll leave to you. Next time we meet, I'll take it back!"
Chiguang said, satisfaction evident in his eyes. Li Hao's sword had made his blood boil, and this Supreme Young Hero Battle had made him even more excited. Just encountering such a formidable opponent among the Wanderers, he wondered what kind of intense clashes would occur when facing the myriad heavens.
Li Hao was taken aback, somewhat surprised. Was the other planning to give up?
But he didn't mind. If one sword wasn't enough, he could always use another. If that didn't work, using his own Sword Dao to quickly resolve the situation wasn't out of the question.
"If you weren't just playing around, your Sword Dao might have posed a real threat to me."
Chiguang telepathically told Li Hao, his tone filled with regret.
Li Hao smiled and put away his black achievement, saying, "Then let's see who's stronger next time."
"Next time, you'll have to put in more effort."
Chiguang smiled, having gauged Li Hao's strength after seeing his strongest Sword Move.
Subsequently, Chiguang turned to the referee and conceded, not continuing the match.
Hearing Chiguang give up, the crowd was shocked but also relieved.
Li Hao's sword had been incredibly powerful, and even outside the array, they had felt suppressed by the Sword Momentum, unable to move.
"Chiguang's fire divine powers were actually blocked by that Clear Wind!"
"Even that kind of divine power could be blocked. What kind of technique is this?"
"It seems this Clear Wind is even more terrifying than we thought. Representing our Canglan World in the competition should be no problem, right?"
"I thought Chiguang would win, but this Clear Wind is even more hidden and formidable. That Sword Dao is too terrifying."
Whispers of discussion arose from the crowd.
Holy Son Hao Yue, upon hearing this, his face alternated between green and white, feeling a mix of cold laughter and anger. He found it laughable that these people were so ignorant, not understanding that Li Hao still had more to show. He was angry that with the display of such a terrifying Sun and Moon Sword Dao, if he were to make a move, wouldn't he be laughed at?
He suppressed his anger, his face ashen, and turned away, feeling a sense of madness. He had never felt more compelled to enhance his Sword Intent to perfection before the next battle.
But rushing his cultivation wouldn't help; it could easily lead to spiritual derangement. He felt more frustrated than anything else.
"Chiguang actually lost."
On the cloud pavilion, the noble beauty was stunned, surprised that this Elder, who was to marry a princess and was a fragrant incense of the Twelve Cities, had lost to Clear Wind.
They had underestimated Clear Wind's strength.
Emperor Canghai's eyes flickered. As a Semi-Saint, he could observe more meticulously and noticed that Chiguang hadn't revealed his true trump card, likely reserving it for the later battles. After all, the current Wanderer competition paled in comparison to the stakes of the Canglan World's battle for the spots.
"Chiguang must have taken the Buddhist Sect's Twins as his primary rivals. Those Twins are indeed formidable, not just at the Sixth Extreme Realm, but with their Buddhist Heart Demon Form, they are truly terrifying—likely among the best in the entire universe."
Emperor Canghai's eyes gleamed. Regardless, once this battle was over, he would need to increase the incense offerings to Elder Qingfeng.
"This isn't even his Sword Dao!"
Lin Qingying's eyes sparkled with excitement. If Li Hao's Sun and Moon Divine Sword was this powerful, his own Sword Dao must be even stronger.
Bian Ruxue's expression was also extremely serious. No wonder he had the leisure to paint; his strength was truly formidable, far surpassing hers.
"How can he wield Hao Yue Holy Son's sword? Could it be that he practices a Sword Dao like Sword Saint's, capable of integrating other Sword Daos into his own?"
The other Holy Sons and Holy Maidens were all astonished, gaining a clearer understanding of Li Hao's strength. In the upcoming Canglan World battle, Clear Wind might be a hidden dark horse, with a good chance of making it into the top ten of the Supreme Young Hero Battle.
After all, to make it into the top ten, one had to be a Monster-Level Genius. With the current trend of Sages reincarnating and cultivating, the intensity of the Supreme Young Hero Battle was unprecedented.
"His sword is indeed terrifying..."
Li Qingyi and the others looked grave, all recognizing the formidable strength of Li Hao.
"It seems that, besides Shuhai, no one will be his match."
The young man with the folding fan looked serious as he spoke softly.
Li Qingyi nodded slightly, taking a deep breath. It seemed his earlier defeat was well-deserved.
With Chiguang's concession, the top ten battle concluded. The ten representatives of the Divine Dynasties, led by a Semi-Saint, presented their awards and declared the event over. The next confrontation would be in three months, against the Three Great Holy Lands, with the Realm Stone illuminating the entire Canglan World.
Su Yun looked at Li Hao, knowing that he had held back during their earlier battle. The gap between them was indeed significant.
Her eyes flickered. With three months left, she needed to focus on her cultivation.
"In three months, the Canglan World battle will commence. We should all enter seclusion."
"Who would have thought that such monsters exist among the Wanderers, and there are even two of them. Chiguang is no slouch either."
The Holy Sons and Holy Maidens of the Sword Ancestor Sanctuary looked grave, not lingering any longer as they returned to their Holy Land to enter seclusion.
A few figures in saffron robes and shaved heads chanted a Buddhist mantra, their expressions calm as they turned and left.
Li Qingyi and the young man with the folding fan also felt immense pressure. Apart from Li Hao and Chiguang, there were other formidable opponents among the rest, and they needed to prepare earnestly.
Although three months of cultivation might not bring significant progress, the numerous observations and the Holy Land competition had provided them with considerable insights. If they could fully absorb and digest these, they would see notable improvement in the short term.
"I should also enter seclusion."
Lin Qingying glanced at Li Hao but didn't approach to greet him, instead turning and gracefully departing.
If she could achieve Sword Technique Enlightenment by the next time she emerged, she might still have a chance to compete. Otherwise, she would be nothing more than a supporting role.
As the battle concluded, many figures in the crowd left their seats. Chiguang glanced at Li Hao, his injuries slowly healing. He telepathically said:
"There are three months left. Keep it up. Your Sword Dao is strong, but it still falls short."
Li Hao was speechless. This guy was quite talkative. He suddenly felt that he should have used his Unique Self Sword Technique to split him in two, just to give him some peace.
After finishing his telepathic message, Chiguang also left the battle platform. Although he hadn't used his full strength, he was still somewhat displeased. He hadn't expected his fire divine powers to be suppressed by Li Hao's Sword Dao. If he could have won easily with just his fire divine powers, that would have been perfect.
