Chapter 343: Wrath, Hundredfold Suppression! (Monthly Votes Requested)

The Realm Stone reflected the clashes on the Battle Platform, while in the Buddhist Hall, the Dharma Images of the Three Great Saints sat majestically.

The Venerable Buddhist smiled and said, "They will represent our Canglan Realm in the competition. Winning the top spot should come with some benefits. Our Buddhist Sect is willing to offer 50 city Incense as a gift. Do the two of you have anything to add?"

Upon hearing the Venerable Buddhist's words, Wen Sheng and the Sword Saint exchanged glances. Both were Sages, well-versed in the principles of the Saint Path. They could clearly see that among the many prodigies, the Twin-Born Buddha Prince stood out the most, far surpassing the others. The top spot would likely end up in his pocket.

This was the Venerable Buddhist's way of securing Incense for his disciple.

But to have them accompany in giving gifts... Wen Sheng smiled and said, "I'll offer 30 city Incense to the second place."

He had great confidence in Lin Shuhai's strength. The only obstacle was Chiguang.

You give to the first, I give to the second; it seems fair.

The Sword Saint's eyes flickered, and he said indifferently, "Since both of you are in the mood, I'll offer 20 city Incense to the third place."

He couldn't stop the Venerable Buddhist from giving 50 city Incense to his disciple, but he could at least give to his own.

However, whether Hao Yue could secure third place was uncertain. There were too many obstacles in front of him, including Chiguang, Lin Shuhai, and Clear Wind.

If not for Sword Master's previous statement that Li Hao was under 30 years old and had a short cultivation period, Li Hao's previous victory over Hao Yue with a single sword stroke clearly showed he had reserves of strength and might even have a chance at second place.

Seeing their thoughts, the Venerable Buddhist sighed lightly, "This competition has ten spots, and we are contending with the heavens. The Top 100 will ultimately be the cream of the crop from all realms. Perhaps only one person will make it, and only by concentrating the Incense resources can we cultivate the most outstanding prodigy."

Wen Sheng and the Sword Saint's eyes narrowed as they looked at him.

"Since both of you are willing to contribute 50 city Incense, a total of 100 cities, which is enough to light a single incense stick, why not give it all to the first place? This could inspire them to strive for the top. If either of your disciples secures the first place, I will cheer loudly", the Venerable Buddhist said.

Wen Sheng's face darkened. With the Venerable Buddhist's determination laid bare, they could see the gravity of the situation.

"I have long heard that the Venerable Buddhist is extremely devoted to his disciples. I see that now."

Wen Sheng smiled lightly, but his words carried a hint of sarcasm.

The Sword Saint said coldly, "If the second and third places are only slightly behind, the difference in rewards might make them lose motivation."

The Venerable Buddhist replied, "In the Martial Dao, defeat is defeat. There is no such thing as a near miss. In matters of life and death, a single line can make the difference."

Seeing the Venerable Buddhist speak so highly of his disciple, Wen Sheng and the Sword Saint remained silent.

After a moment, when Chiguang and Zhao Qingshu's battle ended, the Venerable Buddhist announced the reward for the first place.

Hearing the Hundred Cities' Incense, many in the audience's eyes lit up.

Chiguang's eyes glowed with intense determination. The Three Great Saints had jointly offered Hundred Cities' Incense. He would definitely strive for the top spot!

In another part of the audience, Lin Shuhai's eyes sparkled, and a smile played on his lips.

Hao Yue's brows furrowed, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes. To be honest, he lacked confidence in securing the top spot. His defeat at the hands of Clear Wind had left a crack in his Dao Heart, which only Master's assistance had sealed, elevating his Sword Intent. Even so, meeting the Twin-Born Buddha Prince had shaken his resolve.

The once-arrogant pride of a prodigy, which had seemed unshakable on the Holy Mountain of the Sword Ancestor Sanctuary, had been shattered by a single sword strike.

But such a great temptation, the Hundred Cities' Incense, was worth centuries of arduous cultivation!

Sages tightly controlled these Incense resources, making it extremely difficult to obtain. Getting Hundred Cities' Incense was no easy feat!

"If I had another ten years..."

Hao Yue's eyes burned with intense light, cursing the fleeting nature of time.

Apart from them, the other prodigies also looked enviously, but they knew the reward was only for the first place. Though they had the pride of prodigies, they were not blindly confident.

As the words of the Buddhist Venerable spread through the Realm Stone, the entire Canglan Realm heard them.

For a moment, countless people sang praises of the Three Great Saints' generosity and righteousness. In the cities of various Dynasties, many more believers of the Three Great Saints emerged, adding to their incense offerings.

Li Hao was somewhat surprised when he heard the Buddhist Venerable's words. The incense from a hundred cities was enough to light a single stick of incense, and his Incense Ascension path would be shortened by another hundred years.

A hundred years was an incredibly long time for him, equivalent to a mortal's entire life.

Soon, the battle with Chiguang concluded, and the third match was between Bian Ruxue and Li Qingyi.

Li Qingyi heard the Buddhist Venerable's words and, although she knew she had little hope of winning—after all, just Lin Shuhai alone was impossible for her to defeat—she still felt a sense of excitement, sensing the Three Great Saints' importance of this battle.

"Be careful, your opponent is the youngest Holy Maiden from the Sword Ancestor Sanctuary."

"Though young, her Master is the Sword Saint. However, I've heard she is only at the Four Extremes Realm."

Other Holy Sons whispered to Li Qingyi, passing on the information they had gathered.

Among the many Holy Maidens of the Wenzu Holy Land, Li Qingyi was a favorite. Her father, Wen Sheng, held a high status, and she herself was a charming and lively girl, well-liked by many.

"Understood!"

Li Qingyi nodded vigorously at her fellow disciples' warnings, knowing that anyone who had made it this far was no ordinary opponent.

Soon, two graceful figures gracefully ascended the stage, and the array activated.

Seeing two supreme beauties about to clash, the crowd below erupted in cheers.

This time, Li Qingyi did not hide her identity as she had when facing Li Hao. Instead, she unleashed her true power.

She raised her hand, and a scroll flew out from her sleeve. It was a Sage Book Supreme Treasure, equivalent to a Swordsman's Divine Sword.

As she channeled her power, the pages fluttered like leaves in a strong wind, and a myriad of phenomena appeared behind her. The scroll contained eight chapters, and the Demons and Spirits chapters were the first to be revealed.

Numerous fierce shadows materialized, forming a torrent that surged toward Bian Ruxue.

Bian Ruxue's expression remained calm, her posture straight, and her face bore a hint of the detached serenity of her Master, the Sword Saint. She suddenly drew her sword, and Sword Light illuminated the surroundings.

One sword stroke brought forth frost, and the second brought snow!

The Battle Platform instantly turned into a frozen wasteland, with endless cold winds tearing apart the phenomena.

"Ice and Snow Sword Intent!"

At the Four Extremes Realm, her Soul Spirit hovered above her head. Bian Ruxue unleashed her full strength without holding back.

Li Qingyi smiled, and the book in front of her flipped rapidly, revealing the Mortal World chapter.

From the book, an old man emerged, wearing a hood and carrying a wine gourd. His expression was leisurely, but when he suddenly removed his hood, it spun like a blade, slicing through the Ice and Snow Sword Intent!

"My heart is towards the Bright Moon!"

Li Qingyi intoned softly.

Her words were like laws, and the Bright Moon behind her emerged. The moonlight converged in the old man's hand, forming a Sword Light!

She condensed the moonlight into a sword, cleaving through Heaven and Earth, Yin and Yang!

The vast Sword Intent was unleashed, like that of a supreme swordsman, causing cracks to appear in the Ice and Snow, as if a strong wind had blown through, dispelling the cold.

Bian Ruxue's eyes widened in shock. Her opponent, through the cultivation of literature, could generate such terrifying Sword Qi.

"I establish my soul with Heaven and Earth!"

Li Qingyi's eyes shone brightly, and a Heaven and Earth Dharma Body appeared behind her. Her body flew backward, merging with the Dharma Image, drawing in a continuous stream of power. The old man's entire body erupted with even more formidable might.

He suddenly raised his Sword Light and struck.

With a loud boom, the Ice and Snow shattered.

Bian Ruxue tried to block, but she could not. Her Ultimate Realm was revealed, but her power was suppressed, and she was at a disadvantage. Her Ice and Snow Sword Intent was severed by the old man summoned from the book!

The literary intent of her opponent was stronger than her Sword Intent!

Return to the Abyss!

Bian Ruxue dodged the sword, then quickly closed the distance with Li Qingyi.

"Heaven and Earth Eight Desolates!"

Li Qingyi whispered softly.

Around the Dharma Image, lava erupted and hurricanes surged, creating a formidable spectacle. As Bian Ruxue's figure just revealed itself, she was immediately forced back.

The old man darted forward, also casting Return to the Abyss, and with one sword stroke, cut off hundreds of her green strands.

The outcome was clear.

Seeing this scene, the crowd below was stunned, and then erupted into thunderous cheers.

No one had expected the confrontation within the Wenzu Holy Land to be so intense and grand.

The Realm Stone reflected the battle's result, and countless people saw it. Some were puzzled as to why the Holy Maiden of the Sword Ancestor Sanctuary did not use the Heaven and Earth Dharma Body.

But no one provided an answer.

After all, only a select few, and those of high status, knew that Bian Ruxue did not possess the Heaven and Earth Dharma Body, and they were all present to observe.

Bian Ruxue's lips twisted in bitterness; she never thought she would be stopped outside the top ten.

However, recalling what her Master had said, her heart eased somewhat.

After all, she did not have the Heaven and Earth Dharma Body, and she was too young... But thinking about this, she couldn't help but remember the figure that had defeated her with a single sword stroke.

The Sword Master had said that the opponent was also under 30, but his sword had already Entered the Dao.

Thinking of this, her eyes flickered slightly, and she looked down into the crowd, spotting that figure.

The other party was also watching the battle, and their gazes met. Bian Ruxue's eyes trembled slightly, and she suddenly felt an indescribable sensation.

But soon, she thought of the figure from her childhood, and her heart quickly calmed. She then thought of her sword.

After all these years, she still hadn't completely severed it, which might be the last obstacle on her Sword Dao.

Thinking of this, her eyes turned cold. Without saying more, she turned and left the stage, but many images in her mind began to fade.

Looking at her victorious opponent, she understood that if she continued like this, she would still lose, and be surpassed by these prodigies one by one.

She needed to completely sever it, using Ice and Snow to freeze her heart, and then shatter it!

Thinking of this, she felt a sudden enlightenment.

In the Buddhist Hall, the Sword Saint seemed to sense something and glanced over, seeing Bian Ruxue in her seat with her eyes closed, but Dao Resonance seemed to surround her.

A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, and then he smiled, waving his hand. Bian Ruxue disappeared from her seat and appeared before him, but this movement did not disturb her; she remained with her eyes closed.

He merely isolated her from distractions, allowing her to remain undisturbed.

Wen Sheng and the Buddhist Venerable looked over. Wen Sheng's eyes showed surprise, and he smiled and said, "Congratulations, Sword Saint. I didn't expect your disciple to have such rare talent, actually achieving enlightenment during the battle. This is a sign that she is approaching Entering the Dao."

"Still, your daughter's talent is even higher, easily defeating her, which provided the opportunity for enlightenment."

The Sword Saint smiled.

He was also greatly relieved that Bian Ruxue could have this insight.

He knew all about Bian Ruxue's past and understood that to Enter the Dao, she must take this step.

Now, she had finally realized it on her own.

"Look, the Holy Maiden Bian Ruxue is by the Sword Saint's side."

"She seems to be cultivating!"

"That's not cultivation, it's enlightenment. She's having an enlightenment!"

"Heavens, she's having an enlightenment after losing this battle?!"

"No wonder she ascended before 30. Her talent is truly monstrous!"

In the crowd below, countless people were stunned. Cultivators often spoke of enlightenment, but truly achieving it was extremely difficult and rare.

If someone could achieve enlightenment during a battle, it was understandable, but to do so after losing was quite frightening.

"Hmm?"

Li Qingyi finished his practice and stepped down from the stage, also surprised by the scene. He then felt somewhat helpless, realizing he had become a stepping stone for the other party.

Chiguang and Lin Shuhai, among others, also looked over, but their expressions didn't change much, and they quickly turned away.

Enlightenment was still that of a defeated opponent, not in the top ten, and the gap between them was too large to consider.

Prodigies often had moments of enlightenment throughout their cultivation, but the timing of her enlightenment was rather attention-grabbing.

With the third battle concluded, the next was Li Hao against the disciple of the Buddhist Sect.

Li Hao didn't linger, and as soon as the Battle Platform was clear, he stepped onto it.

His tall and slender figure immediately drew the attention of the entire audience.

On the other side, the Holy Son of the Buddhist Sect stepped onto the platform, causing only hushed whispers among the Buddhist Sect disciples.

"It's Puhua Holy Son!"

"This battle will be interesting. If Clear Wind underestimates Puhua Holy Son, he will surely suffer a great loss!"

"Previously, the Holy Son of Puhua could match the Twin-Born Buddha Prince for three rounds, specializing in Divine Powers, which is incredibly formidable."

As the Array condensed, the Battle Platform was sealed.

The Holy Son of Puhua, dressed in a white-golden robe, smiled, though a hint of sharpness lingered in his eyes. He clasped his hands together and greeted Li Hao, saying, "May we have a fortunate encounter, Sir."

Although Li Hao noticed a change in the other’s demeanor from the previous gentleness, he nodded slightly and returned the courtesy, adhering to the principle of reciprocating respect.

After the greetings, Li Hao gathered Sword Qi in his palms, making no attempt to conceal it or launch a sudden attack.

The Holy Son of Puhua, meanwhile, radiated a brilliant Buddhist Light. Behind him, an imposing Arhat Dharma Image appeared, and a golden crack suddenly appeared on his forehead, from which a Divine Light emerged.

"Heavenly Eye!"

Opening the third eye allowed for a more detailed insight into the nuances of battle.

As the Heavenly Eye on his forehead split open, the Holy Son of Puhua saw black qi swirling between Li Hao’s hands, causing his expression to change. He said with a scowl, "You are a demon cultivator, Sir!"

"Hmm?"

Li Hao was slightly taken aback, then looked at his hands. The Slaughter Grievance he had absorbed was sealed within his Divine Blood and was still being refined. How could the other person see through it?

"Being a demon cultivator, you dare to come to the sacred grounds of our Buddhist Sect? How bold of you, Sir!"

The Holy Son of Puhua’s eyes turned cold, the sharpness in them intensifying.

His words spread, and the crowd below was shocked.

A demon cultivator?

Was Clear Wind a demon cultivator?

Many princes, princesses, and young nobles exchanged glances, feeling both surprised and alarmed.

These words, transmitted through the Realm Stone, caused a stir throughout the Canglan Realm.

Although the Land of Sages was highly inclusive, allowing humans and demons to coexist, the majority of commoners still found it difficult to accept the existence of man-eating demons and bloodthirsty demon cultivators, universally despising them.

Outside the arena, Chiguang and Lin Shuhai, among others, were somewhat surprised but showed little change in their expressions.

Commoners feared demon cultivators because they were defenseless, stemming from their fear. However, as cultivators and top geniuses, they knew that a knife itself does not harm; it is the wielder who does.

Whether demon cultivators or demons, if properly utilized, they could be a power to protect humanity.

Those divine beasts were also once demons, but they were tamed and thus revered.

Demons fed on humans, and human prodigies cultivated by hunting demons. There was only a racial difference, not a moral one.

Thus, even upon learning that Li Hao was a demon cultivator, they did not see it as a significant issue. It was all for cultivation, and as long as this power was used for the benefit of humanity, it was a good thing.

However, the many disciples of the Buddhist Sect below the platform all turned pale, looking at Li Hao with shock and anger.

Li Hao furrowed his brow, his gaze sweeping across the crowd. Apart from Lin Qingying, whom he knew, and the concerned expressions of Lin Shanhai and other alchemists in the stands, most of the unfamiliar princes and nobles who had come to watch the match wore looks of astonishment and disdain.

Li Hao looked up at the supreme Buddhist Venerable in the Buddhist Hall, who also looked down at him with an expressionless face, as if observing the insignificant mortals below.

Li Hao withdrew his gaze, feeling a hint of irony in his heart. The other party had misinterpreted his act of helping the vengeful spirits find peace as demonic qi, but it was not demonic qi - it was him guiding those restless souls to the afterlife.

If they truly wanted to talk about demonic qi, the greatest demonic qi belonged to the Buddhist Venerable himself.

According to the semi-saint spider demon, the Venerable had likely reached the Divine Blood stage and had absorbed these Slaughter Grievances. Moreover, many of the Slaughter Grievances within the Fusheng Demon Realm were deliberately cultivated by him...

At this thought, Li Hao was startled. If this were true, the Buddhist Venerable’s ambitions were vast, aiming to cultivate both the Incense Extreme Dao and ascend through dual cultivation?!

Li Hao took a deep breath, looking at the Venerable’s golden face illuminated by the Buddhist Light, and said coldly, "Do not slander. What demon cultivator? If you must talk about demon cultivators, isn’t your Twin-Born Buddha Prince one too?!"

"He is different from you. He was born with a Heart Demon invading his body, fighting against heavenly demons from birth. He bears a great mission and destiny, to subdue the Heart Demon, making him a great figure. You, on the other hand, have willingly fallen into darkness."

The Holy Son of Puhua narrowed his eyes, his tone icy.

Li Hao stared at the other person and suddenly laughed, saying, "He has Demonic Qi within and a Demonic Statue without. He bears a grand mission and is a savior, yet here, he is seen as one who willingly descends into depravity?"

"You need not argue. As a member of the Human Race, to cultivate such malevolent techniques, you deserve to be eliminated!"

Pu Hua, the Holy Son, spoke with a clear and righteous gaze, "Though I know your Sword Techniques have Entered the Dao, and you may not be easy to defeat, I will still use my entire Power to Suppress you, allowing the Buddhist Light to illuminate the world and protect the Human Race!"

With these words, cheers erupted from the cities of dozens of Dynasties in the Canglan Realm.

These words alone earned Pu Hua, the Holy Son, the faith of many. Temples would be built for him after the event, and incense would be offered.

Li Hao wanted to laugh; he had already guessed the other’s intentions.

"Since you know my Sword Techniques have Entered the Dao, and my Sword Dao is not of the demonic path, why would I need to practice Demonic Path Cultivation Techniques? My Sword Dao alone is enough to act without restraint. Why would I need to rely on demonic cultivation?"

Li Hao said loudly.

"Such arrogance is a bit much. Your Sword Dao, though strong, can defeat us, but compared to the Top Geniuses, it still falls short. To vie for a top ten spot, or even the first place in the Supreme Young Hero Battle, being lured by greed and falling into the demonic path is not unusual."

Pu Hua, the Holy Son, replied.

Hearing his words, many people thought it made sense. With Li Hao's Sword Dao Power, securing a top ten spot in the Canglan Realm was not a problem, but challenging the heavens to secure a top ten spot seemed difficult. Taking the risk of falling into the demonic path seemed plausible.

Li Hao couldn’t help but laugh when he heard the other’s words.

"If you say I am a demonic cultivator, then show me the evidence!" Li Hao said, unwilling to waste more words.

"You miscalculated. I happen to have the Divine Light Technique, which can reveal Demonic Qi!"

Pu Hua, the Holy Son, seemed to anticipate Li Hao’s response and said with a cold laugh. His body was suddenly bathed in brilliant Golden Light.

Li Hao narrowed his eyes slightly. The Power within him surged, gathering in his arms. Divine Blood circulated rapidly, refining the black mist.

At the same time, he restrained his aura, and over a hundred layers of Dao Domains overlapped, blocking the Buddhist Light.

"Hundreds of Dao Domains!!"

Seeing Li Hao’s displayed Dao Domains, the crowd below was shocked, causing a commotion!

This scene was transmitted through the Realm Stone, and the cities of dozens of Dynasties in the Canglan Realm fell into stunned silence.

A Taiping Dao Domain was already a top-tier expert within a Dynasty, yet Li Hao had condensed over a hundred Dao Domains!

"What?!"

Chiguang’s pupils dilated slightly, revealing a hint of shock. A hundred Dao Domains required immense effort. Though not as straightforward as techniques Entering the Dao, the layers of overlap could cause a qualitative change, becoming an extremely powerful force.

He had not invested his efforts in this area because it was time-consuming and offered lower returns.

Only when his techniques hit a bottleneck would he turn to this path, condensing more Dao Domains to accumulate more combat power.

Lin Shuhai’s eyes also showed a touch of seriousness. Sword Techniques Entering the Dao, combined with a hundred Dao Domains, made this strength comparable to that of a Top Genius.

Lin Qingying and the other Sage Sons and Daughters of the Sword Ancestor Sanctuary were shocked, seeing Li Hao’s true Power for the first time.

Earlier, Li Hao defeated Haoyue with a single sword strike, clearly holding back. Was this his leftover strength?!

In the crowd, Jiang Yingyue, who was only watching from below, had a gleam of excitement in his eyes.

A hundred Dao Domains!

Compared to the 97 layers mentioned by the Sword Master in the Sword Tower, Li Hao had condensed three more layers in a short time!

This was his true combat power!

I knew it, I knew it!!

Jiang Yingyue trembled with excitement. This great secret he had only shared with Yaizu, keeping it to himself, had almost driven him to despair. Seeing Li Hao defeat Chiguang in the Imperial Dynasty Loose Cultivator Battle without using his Dao Domains, he knew Li Hao still had more Power!

Others speculated that Chiguang hadn’t exerted his full strength, but did they think Clear Wind had used his full strength?!

"A hundred Dao Domains, just the Dao Domains alone can halt the Laws Ability!"

Jiang Yingyue’s eyes shone with light.

On the stage, the Buddhist Light outside Li Hao's Dao Domain could not advance even an inch.

A hundred layers of Dao Domain were more than enough to block his Divine Powers, preventing them from invading.

"Are you afraid to show your true face?!"

Puhua Holy Son couldn't help but exclaim in shock and anger.

Li Hao sneered, "It's your Divine Powers that are too weak to reflect my true form. You can't win, so you resort to empty accusations. Where is there even a hint of demonic influence in the power I display?!"

Sword Qi permeated his Dao Domain, clearly indicating a Sword Domain, which had nothing to do with the demonic path.

Hearing Li Hao's words, many in the audience also revealed looks of surprise and doubt. Indeed, they saw no trace of demonic influence. Besides, if Li Hao could condense a hundred layers of Dao Domain and his Sword Techniques had already entered the Dao, was there any need for him to cultivate the demonic path?

"Demonic scoundrel, still trying to argue your way out of this?!"

Puhua Holy Son was enraged, his face flushed red, but his Divine Powers and Laws could not penetrate Li Hao's Dao Domain.

Divine Blood surged within Li Hao's arm, and the Slaughter Resentment was rapidly being refined, gradually fading in power.

He raised his hand and drew a strand of Sword Qi from the void, suddenly slashing it at Puhua Holy Son.

"Is this sword demonic?!"

The Sword Qi was like a gentle breeze, illuminating heaven and earth, pure and bright, radiating a vast sword might.

Puhua Holy Son's pupils contracted, and the Heaven and Earth Dharma Body appeared behind him. He roared, "If I do not subdue the demon, I will never attain Buddhahood!"

"Such obsession is already demonic!"

Li Hao's eyes held a disdainful gaze as he spoke indifferently.

The Sword Light in his hand suddenly descended, splitting Puhua Holy Son's Heaven and Earth Dharma Body. The hundred layers of Dao Domain suppressed his Laws, crumbling them like dry twigs.

Li Hao took a step forward, using Netherwast Teleportation to appear before his opponent. He kicked Puhua Holy Son out of his Dharma Image and stomped on him, causing the Battle Platform to crack.

"You say I am a demon, so what if I am? Are there any rules that prohibit demon cultivators from participating?"

Puhua Holy Son, crushed under Li Hao's foot and defeated on the Battle Platform, spat out golden blood in his Divine Power State. He gritted his teeth and said, "Even if there are no such rules, I will not allow it!"

"What are you, anyway?"

Li Hao laughed, "Not only will I participate, but I will also take first place!"

Puhua Holy Son's pupils contracted, realizing the implications of Li Hao's words. If he took first place, the Buddhist Venerable would personally grant him the Hundred Cities' Incense. For a Buddhist sect to bestow such an honor on a demon cultivator would undoubtedly be a disgrace to the Buddhist sect, a slap in the face!

"You, you're dreaming!"

Puhua Holy Son clenched his teeth, his eyes flashing with golden light, as if preparing to attack.

Suddenly, two beams of sword light shot from Li Hao's eyes, meeting Puhua Holy Son's gaze. The Sword Intent erupted, piercing through his eyes.

Puhua Holy Son let out a blood-curdling scream, blood spurting from his eyes as he raised his hands to cover them.

Li Hao lifted his foot and kicked him into the Array Barrier, declaring his victory in this battle.

Seeing Li Hao's dominance, the crowd was stunned. Although Puhua Holy Son had accused Li Hao of being a demon cultivator, he had provided no evidence, only empty words. Instead, the power Li Hao displayed was shocking, with his hundred layers of Dao Domain subduing countless prodigies.

"Whether you are a demon cultivator or not is none of my concern, but taking first place might be a bit difficult."

Chiguang said to Li Hao, though the hundred layers of Dao Domain had greatly surprised him, he was not afraid. Besides, his own Dao Domain, though not a hundred layers, had fifty layers, which could barely withstand Li Hao's. Combined with his true power, he could easily pierce through Li Hao's Dao Domain!

"How difficult?"

Li Hao looked at him, his mood sour, no longer as amiable as before: "With you?"

Chiguang was taken aback. The Li Hao he had known earlier had been refined and elegant, extremely casual. But now, he was like a sharp sword, impossible to touch.

He suddenly realized that someone whose Sword Techniques had entered the Dao would naturally have the sharpness of a prodigy.

He didn't feel angry, but rather smiled and said, "That's more like it. Interesting, I hope when we meet again, you won't regret those words."

"Need not wait until then. Defeating you will take only one sword, and I can make you silent at any time!"

Li Hao said coldly.
