Chapter 366: That One Sword, Reflecting All Heavens (4K Guaranteed Update 2) (Part 1)
Tian Wujie was jolted out of his Dharma Image and crashed into the Array, falling like a hanging painting.
Previously, Li Hao would have stopped here, refraining from further pursuit, treating it as a sparring match that had reached its limit.
But since the opponent had deliberately come to ambush him, intending to exclude him from the Top 100 to humiliate him, he would repay the humiliation in kind!
Bang!
Without throwing another punch, Li Hao suddenly stepped forward, his Dharma Image extending a single finger, like a towering peak descending to Suppress, pressing down on his Physical Body!
"You!"
Tian Wujie struggled to his feet, his face full of shock, still reeling from the destruction of his Dharma Image. Now, he saw Li Hao raise his finger to press down, the lofty and disdainful posture as if to crush an ant.
He immediately felt the arrogance and humiliation from the other side, his eyes reddening as he roared and swung his fist.
"Heavenly Withering Void-Shattering Fist!"
He wanted to roar, but the fierce gale under that finger Suppressing him flooded his mouth like a tidal wave, drowning his voice.
Bang!
The massive finger of the Heaven and Earth Dharma Image fell, engulfing Tian Wujie's fist and body, Suppressing them onto the Battle Platform.
The ground shook violently, then cracked, the tremors spreading beyond the platform, making the entire Holy Mountain tremble slightly.
This scene was deeply etched in everyone's mind. After several seconds, Li Hao's Dharma Image finger dissipated, and he withdrew his Dharma Image, slowly descending from the air. He looked clean and composed, as if he hadn't exerted much effort.
On the other side, there was a deep pit, with Tian Wujie lying inside, the magical light on his robes shattered, his body covered in blood.
Though his Fist Technique was powerful, it couldn't make up for the gap between the Heaven and Earth Dharma Images, especially since Li Hao's Physical Body had reached the Ultimate Limit, making his Dharma Image even more formidable.
"He lost so quickly!"
"Huntian Holy Land's Tian Wujie actually lost, and not to Hao Tian's Eternal Dao Domain, but to his Dharma Image!"
"Tian Wujie's cultivation in the Ultimate Effort Great Dao, his Body Cultivation reaching the Ultimate, his Power is nearly invincible below the Sage rank, and yet he lost in a direct Strength Clash?!"
"Hao Tian's Power clearly surpasses his, and he must also be a Body Cultivation expert. The Eternal Dao Domain isn't his only means!"
Many were stunned, not expecting the battle to unfold this way. They had hoped to see how the Eternal Dao Domain and the Ultimate Effort Great Dao compared, but Hao Tian had broken through with his Dharma Image, using sheer force to Suppress Tian Wujie and render him immobile!
In the Upper Three Realms, Tian Wujie was a renowned prodigy, even more famous than the Green Deer King, with a strong chance of securing a top-three spot. Now, he had suffered such a crushing defeat.
Li Hao looked at him coldly, without a word.
Silence towards a defeated opponent was the greatest form of contempt.
Tian Wujie climbed to his feet. As a prominent prodigy, he had suffered a humiliating defeat. Clearly, the other side hadn't used his Dao Domain, essentially fighting with one hand tied behind his back!
Even so, he still lost.
"I acknowledge your name!"
Tian Wujie's face was grim, and he didn't utter any more harsh words. Having already lost, any further threats would only make him look more pitiful. With that, he turned and flew off the platform.
In the waiting area, the Green Deer King from Huntian Holy Land wasn't shocked but had a complex expression.
He knew that this wasn't the young man's true means.
The young man's terrifying power was far more exaggerated than anyone imagined, for he was a monster in human skin, hiding beneath that skin a power capable of shaking the very foundations of the heavens!
His gaze swept over Qiutian Law and Xiao Tianyu from the Primordial Ancestor Holy Land. Perhaps only they had a chance to force his true nature out.
As Li Hao won his second battle, cheers erupted from the crowd below. Through the Realm Stones, the entire Tianyuan World was in an uproar.
Seeing such intense clashes in the Top 100 Battle made the trip worthwhile.
"Is there anyone else who wants to challenge me?"
Li Hao stood on the platform, his hands behind his back, his cold eyes scanning the waiting area.
Many prodigies, feeling the sharp and disdainful gaze of the young man, had a sense of being pierced by a sharp blade, and dared not meet his eyes.
The young man's imposing presence was both awe-inspiring and terrifying. Standing there with his tall, slender figure, he seemed like a god looking down upon the world, making it hard for anyone to meet his gaze.
In the waiting area, those who had initially planned to humble the young man with Yan Qingchuan and Tian Wujie now remained silent, avoiding eye contact with him.
If it were just the Eternal Dao Domain, they might have considered challenging him. But with Li Hao's Dharma Image being so formidable, even if they did face him, they would at most force him to use the Unity of Dao Domain and Dharma Image. Deploying these two powers simultaneously would likely push them to their limits, and victory would still be uncertain.
They had come here to compete for fame, not to act rashly out of spite.
Moreover, the power Li Hao had displayed was more than enough to justify his reputation.
After a brief silence, no one stepped forward, and the Sage of the Primordial Ancestor Holy Land promptly announced Li Hao's advancement.
Initially, they had planned to suppress Li Hao with a series of challenges, but his victory was too easy, and the third match ended without a fight.
Tian Wujie and Yan Qingchuan did not blame the person who had backed down, as it was indeed meaningless at this point.
Unless they were willing to use their ultimate techniques, there was little chance of victory.
But that was not the time for such measures.
As Li Hao advanced, the crowd erupted in cheers. Many had seen that the challenge seemed to have a hidden agenda, aiming to dampen Li Hao's spirit, but it only served to make him shine even more, enhancing his reputation!
Seeing no one else step forward, Li Hao raised an eyebrow but did not linger. He swiftly flew down from the Battle Platform and returned to his seat in the waiting area.
Lin Qingying cast him a congratulatory smile, and Li Hao returned it with a smile of his own.
Bian Ruxue, noticing the exchange of glances, subtly furrowed her brow and clenched her delicate hands.
Hao Yue Holy Son also noticed this and his expression darkened slightly.
With Li Hao’s exit, the Top 100 Battle continued. Those who had not yet participated began to take their turns.
Earlier, some of the Supreme Saint Disciples who had been holding back now took their places on the platform one after another.
Many observed that these disciples had been waiting for something, and it seemed they were waiting for Li Hao, harboring thoughts of challenging him. However, after Li Hao's two matches, they abandoned these thoughts.
Of course, this was not entirely due to the belief that they would lose. They simply felt that the victory would not come easily and that it was unnecessary to exert themselves to such an extent at this stage.
As the Supreme Sage’s personal disciples took their places, the platform once again fell into a lull, with no one stepping forward to challenge them.
Soon, Yan Qingchuan and Tian Wujie also took their turns. Having witnessed their strength, the other Holy Sons from various Holy Lands did not dare to challenge them.
Li Hao did not bother to challenge them either. After all, he would need to defeat them in three consecutive matches to push them out of the Top 100. Even if he won, he could only block one challenge, which would be meaningless.
Seeing Li Hao not step up to challenge, Yan Qingchuan and Tian Wujie both breathed a sigh of relief. If Li Hao had challenged them again, they would likely have faced another defeat, which, while not affecting their advancement, would have been embarrassing to lose to the same person twice.
"That Hao Tian didn’t challenge them, what a pity!"
"He could have won again!"
"Looks like Hao Tian isn’t as arrogant as the rumors suggest; he has a heart that can tolerate."
"Indeed, if it were me, I would have retaliated in kind!"
Many were surprised by Li Hao’s decision not to challenge, and their impression of him improved significantly.
Before long, the Top 100 Battle concluded.
Despite a few absences, over three hundred participants ultimately narrowed down to one hundred.
The prodigies who had strived from their respective minor worlds, rushing to this highest Battle Platform in All Heavens, seemed like fleeting guests, leaving no trace and barely making an impression.
The Primordial Ancestor Holy Land announced the Top 100 list and then revealed the subsequent rules.
The competition would resume in three days, allowing the Top 100 prodigies to rest and recover.
Not everyone had won as easily as Li Hao and the Supreme Saint Disciples. Some had already used certain secret arts in the Top 100 Battle, which had taken a heavy toll on their bodies and required time to recuperate.
"In three days, the top ten will compete, and it will be even more intense!"
"Definitely, the Top 100 Battle was just an appetizer. There were some standout matches, but the one between Hao Tian and Yan Qingchuan from the Huntian Holy Land and Yin-Yang Holy Land truly overshadowed the rest."
"Indeed, only that match truly left me in awe, making my scalp tingle."
"Top geniuses are truly far superior to others. Their Dao Domain, Laws, Dharma Images, and Techniques are far beyond what other prodigies can achieve. Hao Tian alone had three Dao Entry Level saber techniques, which is terrifying, and even more terrifying is that he lost!"
The Top 100 Battle had concluded, but countless people were still savoring the aftermath. The discussions that followed were even more intense, and everyone was eagerly anticipating the upcoming Top 10 competition.
Previously, many Supreme Saint Disciples had issued challenges, but no one dared to respond, leaving many disappointed. However, most understood that if they were in the contestants' shoes, they wouldn't be foolish enough to challenge those Supreme Saint Disciples, knowing it would be like hitting a stone with an egg.
On Saint Mountain Peak, the crowd dispersed, and the Sages behind them returned to the Dao Grounds arranged by the Primordial Ancestor Holy Land for rest.
These Sages had personally come to observe the young generation's competition. While watching was secondary, their primary role was to ensure the safety of their disciples.
Otherwise, if someone were to spy and covet their most talented disciples, and secretly harm them, it would be impossible to investigate afterward.
During the three-day break, the entire Tianyuan World was abuzz with excitement, like a grand festival. Li Hao returned to his small courtyard, and for these three days, no one came to visit or disturb him. He continued his daily cultivation in the courtyard.
He absorbed the Power of Laws, integrating it into his body, while simultaneously striving to Comprehend the budding Saint Path, hoping to truly glimpse his inner essence.
There were countless fanatics in the world, but those who could truly see their True Heart were few and far between.
Time flew by in his Comprehension. Although he didn't manage to glimpse the essence of the Saint Path in the short three days, the refinement of the Laws led to some changes within his body.
As the Laws condensed, Dao Resonance gathered, and his bones began to transform. Great Dao Power fused into his bones, elevating them from Divine Bones to Dao Bones!
Dao Power was indestructible, meaning his bones could not be easily shattered!
Unless one used the Power of the Saint Path to gradually erode the Dao Power within his bones, allowing it to slowly dissipate, it would be impossible to crush them with a single, powerful strike!
This difference significantly enhanced Li Hao's ability to protect himself.
The three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Once again, countless people swarmed to Saint Mountain Peak, taking their seats early to secure their positions.
Li Hao and other independent cultivators, along with the Holy Sons who had advanced to the Top 100, also arrived at the waiting area.
When Li Hao appeared, many people looked at him with serious expressions.
In the previous Top 100 Battle, the challenges were based on personal will, but in this Top 10 competition, only ten spots were available, and clashes were inevitable, regardless of personal arrangements.
Apart from Li Hao, there were other Supreme Saint Disciples whom others wished to avoid, but the challenges were random, determined purely by Channeling Qi.
As Li Hao and the other contestants arrived, the Sages from various realms also restrained their auras, descending to the area.
The Sages invited by the Primordial Ancestor Holy Land revealed their auras, with various Phenomena manifesting as they sat between Heaven and Earth, each occupying a distinct region, as if the sky had been divided into different zones, each with its own unique Phenomena.
Li Hao glanced at the Buddhist Venerable and the Virtual Sage, noting their calm and detached gazes, as if they weren't paying him much attention.
Li Hao frowned slightly, feeling a sense of unease.
The two heavenly and earthly treasures and the Ascension Incense were right there, and it seemed strange that the other party could remain so calm.
However, this was Tianyuan World, under the watchful eye of the Supreme Sage. The other party wouldn't dare to act rashly against him.
Moreover, with Old Feng's protection, any attack could be thwarted. With his current Power, he wasn't easily slain by a Sage, and it would take considerable effort to kill him.
Shaking his head, Li Hao dismissed his thoughts and focused on the present.
As the Realm Stone lit up, the selection for the Top 10 of the Top 100 Battle officially began.
With the tokens of the Top 100 gathering, a storm screened and selected their opponents, and soon, the initial round matchups appeared in the sky.
"Hmm?"
Seeing his First Battle opponent, Li Hao's eyes narrowed slightly. It was Bai Yuan, the Holy Son of the Famous House, who had been the first to challenge in the Top 100 Battle!
Bai Yuan's earlier statement, "Please grant me the guidance of All Heavens", had already revealed his extraordinary nature.
Bai Yuan also noticed his opponent was Li Hao, and after a moment of surprise, a smile appeared on his lips as he looked at Li Hao.
But after seeing his opponent's token, Li Hao glanced at the tokens of Lin Qingying and other acquaintances, hoping to see their opponents and how they would fare, wishing they could advance further.
Bai Yuan, seeing that Li Hao wasn't paying attention to him, raised an eyebrow but wasn't bothered. He didn't challenge Li Hao in the previous battle to avoid taking advantage of a vulnerable opponent.
Although the Power displayed by the Eternal Dao Domain and the Dharma Image was extremely strong, it hadn't dampened his fighting spirit; instead, it had ignited a sense of excitement.
At the same time, many people were searching for the match information of popular contenders like Li Hao. When they saw that Li Hao was paired against Bai Yuan, the leader of the Holy Sons from the Famous House, they all exclaimed in surprise.
These two were both frontrunners for the championship, and they had unexpectedly clashed early on!
Compared to Bai Yuan and Hao Tian, the other Supreme Sage's personal disciples had much better luck. They didn't face other Supreme Sage's Disciples but were instead matched against Holy Sons from other Holy Lands, making their first advancement relatively easy.
The only strong matchup was between Tian Wujie and Yan Qingchuan, who were paired against each other.
However, compared to the match between Li Hao and Bai Yuan, this one was clearly less appealing.
"This Hao Tian's Channeling Qi is really bad. Someone tried to stop him during the previous defense, and now he's encountered another Supreme Sage's Disciple!"
"Just in the First Battle, he's facing Bai Yuan. This Bai Yuan is a big name in the Mingjia Holy Land, an opponent who can rival Qiutian Law!"
"I heard the Green Deer King once challenged Bai Yuan but was defeated in just three moves."
"Hao Tian's fate is truly terrible. The worst others faced were from the Middle Nine Realms, but he's up against a Supreme Sage's personal disciple. Speaking of which, this is his third battle, and all have been against Supreme Sage's personal disciples!"
Many people were discussing the situation, shaking their heads at Li Hao's bad luck, but their excitement was evident in their words.
After all, they were here to watch the battles, and the prospect of such intense fights was exactly what they wanted to see.
Lin Qingying, along with Hao Yue Holy Son, Chiguang, and others, looked at Li Hao but saw no sign of worry on his face, as if he had no concerns at all.
A hint of worry flashed in Lin Qingying's eyes, but seeing Li Hao's calm demeanor, she felt reassured. She had known him for a long time and had never seen him panic, except when facing the Buddhist Sect's Sage.
"It seems we should decide who is better."
On the other side, Tian Wujie looked at Yan Qingchuan, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.
Yesterday's temporary alliance was just a spur-of-the-moment idea in their circle, and today's confrontation would naturally be a full-out battle.
Yan Qingchuan remained calm, nodding slightly, but his gaze shifted to the young man's direction, his eyes gleaming.
He knew Bai Yuan was no simple opponent and wondered if he could force the young man to reveal his Dao Domain Dharma Image.
As the First Battle began, the Sage of the Primordial Ancestor Holy Land announced the first contestants. One of them was familiar to Li Hao: Qingjiu.
After stepping onto the stage, Qingjiu glanced at Li Hao, giving him a look of helplessness before turning his attention back to his opponent, his expression serious.
His opponent was Hao Yue Holy Son.
As the opening match of the Top 100 Battle, this fight was highly anticipated. Hao Yue Holy Son, no longer thinking much about it, stepped onto the stage and focused intently.
As the Array formed and they realized they didn't know each other, Hao Yue Holy Son didn't bother with pleasantries. Instead, Qingjiu, who seemed to have something to prove, declared:
"In three moves, I will end this fight!"
Hao Yue Holy Son was amused by this, not wanting to put on a show, but his opponent was trying to one-up him.
"Let's see about that."
He sneered, and as he spoke, his Ultimate Realm suddenly unfolded. In the previous Top 100 advancement, although someone had challenged him, they hadn't forced him to reveal his true power.
Now, with five Ultimate Realms revealed, he drew his sword, its edge gleaming, and his eyes radiated a brilliant golden and silver light, intertwining with each other.
Qingjiu's eyes widened in surprise, not expecting his opponent to have such capabilities.
But he wasn't nervous and unleashed his full strength.
In addition to the five Ultimate Realms, there was a sixth one, Blood Drop Rebirth.
To cultivate Blood Drop Rebirth, one could either follow Li Hao's path by first cultivating the Transcend to Immortality Ultimate Realm and storing their consciousness in the heavens and the earth, or rely on the help of a Sage to store their consciousness in the Sage's Saint Path.
Qingjiu had cultivated this Ultimate Realm with the help of his Master, but it didn't significantly boost his combat power; it only greatly enhanced his survival capabilities.
Apart from the Ultimate Realms, Qingjiu's true confidence came from his Techniques Power.
Bang!
He suddenly thrust his spear, also unleashing his Dao Body.
"Great Luo Dao Body!"
Qingjiu let out a low shout, and Dao Resonance surged from his entire body. The spear in his hand was suddenly enveloped by two different Dao Entry-level auras!
This single move alone made many people's eyes light up with surprise.
Hao Yue Holy Son's expression changed slightly, becoming more serious. He focused his Sun and Moon Divine Eyes, trying to see through Qingjiu's Spear Techniques.
Qingjiu took a step forward with the Return to the Abyss technique, and the two quickly engaged in a fierce battle.
In the air, the spear shadows moved like lightning, while Hao Yue Holy Son's Sword Intent, which had just touched the shadow of the Dao, was instantly shattered.
