Chapter 357: Ink Drop Suppress, Comprehend (Part 1)
Li Hao immediately picked up his brush and began to paint.
Soon, as another figure was added to the Heavenly Stele’s Heroic Figures, the Green Deer King appeared in the painting. The people in the painting made way for him, all showing him a respectful demeanor.
After completing the painting, Li Hao saw the Experience prompt, which amounted to a staggering 55,000 Experience points!
To put that into perspective, Emperor Canghai, a Semi-Saint, only provided around 40,000 Experience points.
This meant that the young man before him had an extremely strong suppression effect on the semi-Holy Capital, and could easily win!
In the entire All Heavens, someone who could achieve such a level was likely one of the top monsters, no wonder countless prodigies and Holy Sons revered and avoided him.
The Green Deer King glanced at Li Hao and then turned to fly toward the Heavenly Stele.
The noble maidservants accompanying him stopped in their tracks. These maids were all at the Enlightened Realm.
Amidst the lightning and thunder outside the Heavenly Stele, the Green Deer King approached the stele and raised his hand to leave his mark.
"Is the Green Deer King leaving his name again?"
"Ten years ago, he had Two Golden Flashes. Now, it should be even more terrifying!"
"Is he actually leaving his name again?"
"Below the Sage realm, one can leave their name again within a thousand years."
The crowd buzzed with discussion, all eyes fixed on the green-clad figure.
They saw the electric light gathering in the Green Deer King’s palm, gradually becoming brighter, with countless silver threads of lightning intertwining and flickering.
At the same time, at the peak of the Heavenly Stele, a beam of Golden Light slowly condensed, then flashed twice!
After the light flashed, it quietly subsided.
The crowd snapped back to reality, both surprised and bewildered.
They had expected the Green Deer King to leave his name again, perhaps with Three Golden Flashes, advancing even further, or even triggering the brilliant Crimson Blood Light. Instead, it was still just Two Golden Flashes?
The Green Deer King, seeing this result, was also somewhat surprised, his brows slightly furrowed. Then, he seemed to remember something and a hint of relief appeared in his eyes.
It seemed that what the Master said was true: the Heavenly Stele could only detect the Physical Body and Realm, but not Techniques or Dao Realm!
As for combat experience and the like, those were not even considered.
Otherwise, there would be no need for the Supreme Young Hero Battle; everyone could just come here to be evaluated and the rankings would be clear.
In the past ten years, his Techniques had become purer, his Dao Realm deeper, and although his Ultimate Realm had not increased, his combat power had significantly improved after wandering through several Prohibited Zones.
Seeing that the Heavenly Stele could not verify this, he shook his head slightly and flew back to the crowd.
"Prince."
Several maidservants quickly surrounded him, their voices soft and gentle.
The Green Deer King was born into the Imperial Family of a Divine Dynasty. From a young age, he had no interest in imperial power, focusing instead on the Martial Dao. After being tutored by a master from the Holy Land, he took on the title of Prince, a position that allowed him to live a leisurely life.
Though he was a Prince, his imperial brothers and the emperor of the Divine Dynasty treated him with utmost respect and caution.
The Dragon Throne and the harem were his to take whenever he wished, and though he was not the emperor, he held a position above the emperor.
The Green Deer King ignored the maidservants and his gaze fell on the young man nearby, who was focused on his painting, seemingly oblivious to his performance. A hint of coldness flickered in his eyes.
Leaving his name with the Crimson Blood Light and suppressing All Heavens, he did not like anyone surpassing him.
However, there was no doubt that this young man’s Physical Body and Realm were also extremely formidable.
"Go, tell him that I want to spar with him."
The Green Deer King instructed one of the maidservants.
This maid was graceful and beautiful. She bowed and agreed, then gracefully approached Li Hao.
"Sir, my Prince wishes to spar with you. Please do us the honor."
The maid smiled as she spoke.
Li Hao, still focused on his painting, did not even lift his head. "I’m busy."
The maid’s smile froze, and she lowered her voice. "My Prince is the Green Deer King, the Holy Son of the Huntian Holy Land in the Qiankun Realm. Sir, please don’t make a mistake."
Compared to the polite invitation, this statement carried a clear threat.
Li Hao didn’t respond. Hongyue, who was grinding ink for Li Hao, noticed that he was completely engrossed in his painting and had no time to spare, so she said:
“My master is busy. Please leave.”
The maid’s expression changed slightly. If she failed to complete the task the Green Deer King had given her, she knew she would face dire consequences. Seeing Hongyue interject, she couldn’t help but frown and retorted:
“Who do you think you are? A mere Fifteen Li Realm servant girl, what right do you have to speak!”
Her rebuke carried a hint of the Power of Laws. Hongyue felt her pupils constrict, and her vision was suddenly flooded with countless black shadows, making her feel as if her lungs were filled with seawater, on the verge of suffocation.
Her consciousness felt like it was about to splinter, and she was overwhelmed by a sense of dread, as if she were being torn apart.
“Hmph!”
Suddenly, a cold snort echoed, snapping Hongyue back to reality.
The countless black shadows in her vision dissipated, and she gasped for breath, her face pale and her eyes filled with fear as she looked at the maid.
“A mere servant girl, who gave you the audacity to act so arrogantly!”
Li Hao put down his brush, his eyes turning cold as he looked at the maid.
His gaze carried a sharp edge, and the maid, upon meeting his eyes, suddenly felt a blinding flash of light. Her Dao Will seemed to be severed, and she felt as if her pupils and throat were being sliced open!
The feeling of death enveloped her, and she opened her mouth, her face turning pale with despair, as if she wanted to scream for help but couldn’t make a sound.
“Haha, bullying a servant is no great skill.”
At that moment, a gentle and calm voice rang out, and the Green Deer King approached.
Li Hao’s gaze shifted from the maid to the Green Deer King, but he didn’t bother to argue about whose servant had been the first to act arrogantly. He said, “Don’t come here to invite trouble.”
As his gaze moved away, the maid felt as if her throat, which had been cut, could now produce sound again. It was a choking sensation, and she made a retching sound before regaining her senses. Her face turned grim.
Just one look, and she had felt a death-like threat. This young man was truly terrifying!
“Oh?”
The Green Deer King’s face showed a smile, but his eyes narrowed slightly.
“So you’re Hao Tian, are you? Do you think that just because you have a Blood Light inscription, you can claim superiority over all the heavens? If you really have such confidence, why not spar with me and let me gauge your strength?”
The surrounding crowd shifted their attention to the two, their expressions filled with surprise and interest.
“This Green Deer King is going to face off against Hao Tian. Are they going to fight here and now?”
“These two are both potential candidates to rank in the top three of the All Heavens. This could be a preview of the final showdown.”
“However, the Green Deer King is a bit unwise. Hao Tian triggered a Blood Light inscription, a rare occurrence in millennia, while he is only at the Two Golden Flashes level. The gap is too significant.”
“While there is a gap in their inscriptions, it’s not an absolute one. The Heavenly Stele doesn’t reveal Techniques or Dao Realms. The Green Deer King was already at the Two Golden Flashes level ten years ago, so his Techniques and Dao Realms must be much deeper now.”
“The Green Deer King’s move might be to gauge Hao Tian’s true strength before the competition among the supreme prodigies.”
The crowd buzzed with various comments.
Chiguang and Lin Shuhai, among others, also looked on in surprise. When they saw the two about to clash, their eyes glinted with interest.
Though they didn’t know the Green Deer King, they weren’t particularly close to Li Hao either. However, since Li Hao hailed from the Canglan World, they couldn’t help but hope he would win.
Li Hao, hearing the Green Deer King’s words, reined in his cold expression and said indifferently, “To gauge me, you’re not qualified.”
The Green Deer King couldn’t help but laugh, “Do you really think that just because you have a Blood Light inscription, you can look down on everyone? If you think I’m not worthy, why don’t you try? Or are you just all talk?”
Li Hao didn’t take the Blood Light inscription too seriously, but hearing the other’s repeated references to it, as if out of jealousy, he smiled and said:
“Can you trigger a Blood Light, too?”
The words made the Green Deer King’s smile falter, as if he had swallowed a fly.
“No wonder you’re from the lower realms, a mere commoner. Do you really think the Heavenly Stele represents absolute combat power? A Blood Light inscription is nothing. Within a thousand years, I will leave my mark again, and it will be a Blood Light at the top!”
The Green Deer King said this with a cold expression, and his words caused a stir in the crowd.
After all, he had spoken in public, and if he failed, it would become a laughingstock.
“Wait until you can leave a Blood Light inscription, then we’ll see.”
Li Hao glanced at him, then ignored him.
The Green Deer King nearly choked with anger, his face turning red, and he clenched his fists. “Very well, then let me see just how much a Blood Light inscription is worth!”
Seeing Li Hao about to pick up his brush and start painting again, the Green Deer King suddenly struck out, a beam of Green Light aiming to tear the painting paper to shreds.
Li Hao’s indifferent expression turned cold in an instant.
“You’re courting death!”
Li Hao lifted his head to look at his opponent, the sharpness in his eyes piercing through the green light.
Then he raised his hand, the brush tip swirling with ink, which contained the Power of the Dao Domain.
Eternal Dao Domain!
Boom!
The Dao Domain appeared instantly, descending with overwhelming force.
The Green Deer King was well-prepared, activating his own Dao Domain, which consisted of a hundred layers. Moreover, he had a Dao Domain Cultivation Method that condensed these hundred layers into a unique Dao Domain, where the universe itself seemed to manifest, filled with various wondrous scenes.
Dao Domain Cultivation Methods were extremely rare, only possessed by top-tier forces. However, no matter what kind of Dao Domain Cultivation Method, none could match the Eternal Dao Domain!
This was the Ultimate Realm, and all other Dao Domain Cultivation Methods were merely crude imitations.
In the blink of an eye, the Green Deer King’s universe Dao Domain shattered, and a vast power descended.
With a loud boom, the Green Deer King felt a sweet taste in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood. That single drop of ink, condensed by the Eternal Dao Domain, weighed as much as a mountain, pressing down on him.
His body retreated, his skin burning and rapidly cracking.
One must understand that once trapped in an enemy’s Dao Domain, one becomes like a fish on a cutting board, completely at their mercy.
The Green Deer King’s green hair flew wildly, and his robes glowed with a brilliant Green Light, revealing a Supreme Treasure robe that shielded him from the Dao Domain’s sword shadow laws.
At the same time, a massive Giant Deer Phantom appeared behind him, a manifestation of some ancient and extremely mysterious bloodline. The giant deer opened its eyes, shooting out two beams of Green Light.
These Green Light beams carried the power of a Great Dao, with destructive force comparable to Technique Dao levels, aimed at Li Hao’s Dao Domain.
However, he underestimated the overwhelming power of the Eternal Dao Domain. Even Technique Dao-level powers could not struggle within it!
“My Heart Connects to Heaven!”
The Green Deer King suddenly roared, his body covered in green veins and cracks, his skin crumbling as he unleashed numerous Ultimate Realm powers.
At the same time, he activated his Holy Path Blueprint.
This was a Half-Saint level power, and he was using it to the fullest extent, trying to break through Li Hao’s Dao Domain and carve out a path to freedom!
But Li Hao’s expression remained indifferent, like a deity sitting high above, unmoving. The power of the Dao Domain condensed on the ink drop intensified.
Boom!
The Dao Domain descended, crushing even his Holy Path Blueprint, which aimed to reach the heavens.
The ground cracked and shook violently, and the Green Deer King was completely suppressed by the Eternal Dao Domain. That single drop of ink, as heavy as a thousand mountains, pressed down on his back, forcing him to the ground.
“Prince!”
The surrounding maidservants were horrified, calling out in urgent voices.
At the same time, the power of the Dao Domain extended, suppressing the maidservants as well, rendering them immobile.
The Giant Deer Phenomenon behind the Green Deer King faded away, and he lay on the ground, his face grim. The radiant glow on his robes dimmed, completely suppressed by the laws of the Dao Domain.
The expected fierce battle never materialized. The crowd watched, stunned, as the Green Deer King, who had been immobilized in the blink of an eye, lay helpless on the ground.
The young man sat calmly, merely lifting his brush and letting a drop of ink fall. That single drop of ink had somehow managed to suppress the Green Deer King!
The ink drop hanging above his head spun, but everyone could see that it was the young man who had condensed his power into this external object, using it to suppress the Green Deer King.
“This, this…”
“The Green Deer King’s universe Dao Domain, shattered in an instant.”
“This is the Eternal Dao Domain, the legendary Eighth Apex Realm!”
“My goodness, I heard it takes cultivating 360 layers of Dao Realm to condense it, and even then, some other enlightenment is required during the Ultimate Realm condensation. It’s incredibly difficult!”
"Being able to participate in the Supreme Young Hero Battle, and having a cultivation period of less than a hundred years, to condense 360 Layers of the Dao Realm in such a short time?!"
The people gathered near the Heavenly Stele all watched in shock.
Although there were rampant rumors outside that Hao Tian had eight Ultimate Realms, the Eternal Dao Domain was something they had only heard about. Apart from people like Chiguang from the Canglan World, no one had ever seen it with their own eyes.
Seeing Li Hao display it now, they finally realized just how terrifying the Eighth Apex Realm was!
Just the power of the Dao Domain alone was enough to suppress the Green Deer King. If he were to use the power of the other Ultimate Realms, he would only become even stronger!
"In that Projection Stone, the other party used the Dao Domain to suppress numerous Semi-Saints. This is the power of the Eighth Apex Realm..."
In the crowd, those who had seen the Projection Stone had a profound light in their eyes, filled with shock and intense passion. They also harbored the determination to cultivate the Eighth Apex Realm in their lifetimes.
As long as they spent a great deal of time, it might not be impossible to achieve within their lifetimes.
Even if it took ten years to cultivate one Dao Domain layer, 3600 years should be enough to complete it.
"Except for those old Holy Sons, this person is likely invincible among the younger generation!"
Someone whispered.
"Don't jump to conclusions too soon. There are a few who haven't shown their true strength in a long time. They are all participating in this battle and will have made significant progress."
"That's right. Those few are all Supreme Sage's Disciples, and they are also Reincarnations of a Sage."
Mentioning those few, the person's expression became much more serious.
Although the Green Deer King was also a Supreme Sage's Disciple and the Huntian Holy Land was a place of the Supreme Sage, he himself did not seem to be a Reincarnation of a Sage. This was also the reason for his high aspirations.
Apart from being a Reincarnation of a Sage, he was confident in his invincibility!
But now, he was suppressed by Li Hao with a single move, his eyes turning blood-red with murderous intent.
"Since you enjoy inviting trouble, I'll grant your wish."
After suppressing the Green Deer King, Li Hao did not stop there. If someone provoked him, it was not something he would let go of just because he had defeated them.
He stood up and walked toward the Green Deer King.
The Green Deer King's eyes suddenly flashed with shock and anger. "What are you going to do?"
