Chapter 368: Transcend to Immortality, Shock All Heavens (4K Word Count Bonus 4) (Part 1)
With the Path of All Beings merged, the Unique Self Sword Technique became even sharper, capable of cutting through all life with a single strike!
Although it was Li Hao's comprehension of the Holy Path Blueprint, it was still a genuine Holy Path Blueprint, containing the power of the Saint Path!
This sword strike appeared in an instant, illuminating heaven and earth, tearing apart the power of cosmic law and order that enveloped Li Hao, accompanied by countless phenomena. It shone like a dazzling comet, slicing toward Qiutian Law's saintly manifestation.
Qiutian Law's eyes narrowed, and he abruptly picked up his brush, swinging it down.
Countless laws and regulations wove together like a spider's web, contracting into a sharp power that aimed to suppress Li Hao's sword beam.
The two powers seemed to split the Battle Platform, their full-force collision causing countless Dao resonances to scatter.
The spectators outside were stunned; this was no longer a mere clash of two or three Dao Entry Level Techniques. It was a collision of dozens, hundreds, even thousands of manifestations of the will of the Dao!
This was a power that stood out in a league of its own. The Sage from the Primordial Ancestor Holy Land, responsible for overseeing the event, also had a slight change in expression. He carefully exerted his power, reinforcing the array, for if he didn't, the previously reinforced array would be torn apart by this power. This was already an attack that could rival a Sage's!
With a violent tremor, countless chaotic and fragmented Dao resonances, like shredded clouds, scattered before their eyes.
As the tremors and fluctuations gradually subsided, the crowd saw that Qiutian Law's saintly manifestation had been torn apart, a massive gash splitting his chest, as if cleaved by a giant axe, splitting him into two halves that could not be healed!
This clash had resulted in Li Hao gaining the upper hand.
In the Dharma Image, Qiutian Law's chest was stained with blood. The rupture of the Dharma Image meant he had to endure several times the residual force of the sword, his body already torn apart. However, with the power of Blood Drop Rebirth and the seventh ultimate realm, his physical body, though shattered, quickly healed.
However, the power of the Dharma Image that he had condensed was now scattered.
"You..."
Qiutian Law was dazed. His Saint Path power had actually been broken?!
This was the power of his Saint Path from his previous life, a genuine Sage-level force. Just his own Holy Path Blueprint was already at the half-Sage level, sufficient to suppress all heavens. Combined with the power from his previous life, even the most monstrous of monsters would be suppressed. This was the ultimate achievement of the Dao Law Realm!
Yet, it had been completely annihilated by that single sword strike!
"Since the strong rule, I will also take advantage of my strength once!"
Li Hao's Heavenly Earth Meridian rapidly drew power from heaven and earth. This victory was partly due to his reaching the Divine Blood stage, where his physical body's strength allowed the Heavenly Earth Dharma Image to carry more and stronger power!
Their Dao resonances and Holy Path Blueprints were only of medium difference.
This difference referred to the gap between Qiutian Law and him.
The prototype of cosmic law and order ultimately could not match the Path of All Beings. After all, this was the core Sword Dao of the Sword Saint.
His Unique Self Sword Technique contained 360 Great Dao, forming a Circulating Heaven. Combined with the Heavenly Earth Dharma Image, this was how he suppressed the Sage-level power that Qiutian Law had projected.
That power was, after all, not the true presence of a Sage!
As he spoke, Li Hao's aura grew stronger again. His eyes were cold; the other party had deliberately acted to send him to the Fajia Holy Land to be taught and punished. Now, he would use the other's method to repay him!
Peng!
The Dharma Image suddenly stepped forward, and the power of the Netherworld affected the Dharma Image.
This kind of consumption was hundreds of times greater than his own Netherworld teleportation, but Li Hao could afford it. If he used the Heavenly Stars Vein, it would be even less of a concern, allowing him to use it freely.
As the Dharma Image arrived in an instant, the sword light in its hand once again burst forth, slicing down.
Qiutian Law snapped back to his senses, lifting his head, his pupils contracting.
In an instant, he felt the presence of death drawing near.
He, the Reincarnation of a Sage, had already unlocked his previous life's power and reached the pinnacle below the Sage realm. How could he be forced into such a desperate situation now?
"Do you want to kill me? Do you want to break the rules?!"
Qiutian Law suddenly roared in anger, his eyes filled with shock and fury, as well as indignation at Li Hao's attempt to disrupt the sparring rules.
Seeing his opponent's anger even in such a critical moment, Li Hao found it amusing. However, he suddenly didn't want to tangle with this stubborn individual. He said nothing, only swung his sword with great force!
Bang!
The Sword Light swept over Qiutian Law's Dharma Image, shattering it completely and dissipating it like smoke.
That condensed power was utterly shattered.
As the saintly manifestation vanished, the Eternal Dao Domain instantly enveloped the area!
When the Dao Domain forms an eternal ultimate realm, the power consumption is significantly reduced. Li Hao only needs to maintain a thread of power to sustain it, making it one of his least strenuous yet extremely powerful attack methods.
With the Dao Domain suppressing, sword shadows instantly appeared around Qiutian Law, piercing his body and leaving it riddled with wounds!
Before this prodigy's showdown, Li Hao had already deactivated the Fatal Attribute to avoid accidentally causing fatal injuries. If it had been triggered, it would have broken the rules.
If he harbored any murderous intent and truly intended to kill, the other Supreme Sages would have had the strength to intervene. However, the bizarre nature of the Fatal Attribute might not have been detected in time by the Supreme Holy Capital, and it might have been too late to save the victim.
As Qiutian Law's physical body shattered, he relied on Blood Drop Rebirth to re-form anew.
But just as he re-formed, he shattered again, repeatedly dying and being reborn in Li Hao's Dao Domain.
This scene left countless people in the Tianyuan World both horrified and silent.
The Supreme Sage's Disciple, the top genius and Reincarnation of a Sage, who had displayed unimaginable power, now found himself like a moth trapped in a lampshade, flailing helplessly but unable to escape.
Li Hao didn't strike again, putting away his sword and simply using the power of his Dao Domain to repeatedly torment his opponent, preventing him from re-forming his Heaven-Earth Meridian and saintly manifestation.
He knew that although Blood Drop Rebirth was powerful, excessive use would still lead to death!
Sure enough, after dozens or even hundreds of cycles of life and death, Qiutian Law's regeneration speed noticeably slowed down.
At this point, the power contained in his blood had been severely depleted.
Outside the arena, the initial shock had given way to complete silence.
The previously highly contested favorite for the championship was now struggling to survive under the sword shadows of the Dao Domain!
In the waiting area, all the Heavens' Sage Sons and Daughters watched in a daze, their eyes fixed on the young man standing within the Dharma Image, hands behind his back, like a divine being descending from the heavens, exuding an aura of invincibility.
In the audience, countless Fajia Disciples snapped out of their stupor and began to shout in anger.
"Stop it!"
"Do you want to kill him?!"
"You've already won, why humiliate him further?!"
"If you dare to kill Heavenly Saint Qiutian, you will die!"
Many were shouting in anger, some even issuing threats.
But these voices did not reach Li Hao's ears. He simply gazed down coldly at the figure that kept dying and being reborn, waiting until the physical body's regeneration became noticeably sluggish. Then, the sword shadows in his Dao Domain halted.
Next, his Dharma Image raised its foot and stomped down.
With a thud, Qiutian Law's body was crushed under the foot of Li Hao's Dharma Image, pinned to the Battle Platform, unable to move.
"Since the strong rule, is this humiliation to you?"
Li Hao stood within the Dharma Image, his eyes cold, as he asked Qiutian Law.
These words made Qiutian Law's eyes turn red, bloodshot.
This intense emotion, however, conflicted with his Saint Path. Once the Saint Path is cultivated, even he must adhere to it. Otherwise, violating his True Heart would cause cracks in his Saint Path, or even make it dissipate.
Now, his Saint Path had developed cracks.
Humiliation, anger, and a frantic desire to kill made him feel an overwhelming urge to kill the other party at all costs.
This already went against the essence of "law"!
Law is a system, a restraint, but he had always commanded others to restrain themselves and follow the law. Now, facing such public humiliation, the law he had always upheld was struggling to suppress the raging, murderous intent within him.
Just then, despite his rage reaching its peak, his face contorted, his struggles were in vain. His Physical Body was too drained, and he was no match for Li Hao at this moment. He didn't even have the chance to summon a second saintly manifestation.
"Answer me!"
Li Hao’s expression was cold as he looked down at the figure beneath the Dharma Image.
Qiutian Law’s teeth were clenched so tightly they clicked, his body and soul always pristine, untouched by the slightest dust. Before battle and before meals, he would always burn incense and bathe. But now, he looked as if he had been rolling in the mud.
Humiliated and disheveled, but more than the judgment of others, what truly enraged him was Li Hao’s humiliation, forcing him to bow his head. But if he did, it would go against his Saint Path!
"I concede!"
Through gritted teeth, Qiutian Law clenched his fists and almost wept as he uttered these three words.
Li Hao raised an eyebrow, a cold smile appearing in his eyes. He had thought Qiutian Law was a tough man, but it turned out he lacked backbone.
Li Hao knew that once Qiutian Law conceded, continuing to humiliate him would only make him look bad. The Fajia Sage would surely intervene. So, he lifted his foot and released the Heaven and Earth Dharma Image, saying coldly:
"If you want others to abide by the rules, you must first set an example. If you truly acknowledge your defeat, I would respect you. But now, you have truly disappointed me!"
In the audience, a Fajia Sage who was ready to intervene relaxed when he saw Li Hao release Qiutian Law. His face turned cold. If Li Hao had continued to press his advantage, he would have had no choice but to step in and teach him a harsh lesson.
After all, Qiutian Law represented the face of Fajia. Being humiliated like this would reflect poorly on the entire sect.
Qiutian Law, hearing Li Hao’s words, felt his eyes redden. He glared at Li Hao and said:
"Once I Ascend, I will challenge you to a Sage Discussion!"
Sage Discussion was a necessary process, where Sages would engage in intellectual and spiritual debates.
Clearly, Qiutian Law intended to continue his battle with Li Hao in the Sage Realm, using the Discussion to mend the cracks in his path and defeat Li Hao.
In this battle, he realized that what truly made him lose was not Li Hao’s Holy Path Blueprint Power. After all, that Holy Path Blueprint belonged to the Sword Saint, and he had already seen it. Even in a Discussion, it wouldn’t damage his Saint Path.
What truly defeated him was Li Hao’s terrifying Power. The saying "strength conquers all" was embodied perfectly in Li Hao.
Hearing this, Li Hao smiled coldly. Once he Ascended, Qiutian Law would have even less of a chance.
"Defeated once, you will always be defeated. Today or tomorrow, it makes no difference. As long as I, Hao Tian, live, I will forever Suppress you!"
Li Hao declared loudly.
He knew that this battle would offend the Fajia Holy Land, but it couldn’t be helped. Qiutian Law had come to provoke him, and he couldn’t avoid it. Since he had offended them, there was no need to leave any room for retreat.
Hearing Li Hao’s words, Qiutian Law felt as if he had been slapped in the face, humiliated once again. He felt a burning anger.
But he had lost, and any further words would only invite more ridicule and humiliation.
He glared at Li Hao, as if he wanted to devour him with his eyes, then turned and left the stage without another word.
Li Hao’s words caused a stir among the audience.
Too dominant!
This disdainful, overbearing confidence, even in the face of a Reincarnation of a Sage, showed no trace of hesitation.
Not just the audience, but countless others who witnessed the battle through Realm Stones felt their blood boil.
Especially the young martial artists, who saw the young man on the stage as a true hero and a role model.
So what if he was a Reincarnation of a Sage? He was still suppressed!
Defeat was defeat, no excuses. If he could be suppressed today, he would be suppressed forever. This overbearing confidence stirred the blood of many.
"Who would have thought, even Qiutian Law has been defeated!"
"He was supposed to be one of the strongest contenders this time. Besides him, only Xiao Tianyu had a chance."
"Even with his previous life’s Power unlocked, he was already at the peak of what a Reincarnation of a Sage could achieve. To still lose in that situation, it seems Hao Tian is truly invincible!"
"Could Hao Tian be the reincarnation of a Supreme Sage? How could he be so incredibly strong?"
"How could that be? Didn’t you see the Holy Path Blueprint he used? It’s the Path of All Beings. The Sword Saint isn’t a Supreme Sage, and other Supreme Sages wouldn’t bother to Comprehend the Path of All Beings."
"That’s right. A Supreme Sage Reincarnation would always strive for higher realms, not lower ones."
The crowd buzzed with discussion. After ruling out the possibility of Li Hao being a Supreme Sage Reincarnation, all that remained was awe at his talent.
Waiting area, Xiao Tianyu watched the defeated and sullen Qiutian Law, his brows furrowed. Originally, he had considered Qiutian Law his rival, and the power the latter had displayed was indeed worthy of such a title, almost on par with his own. But now, Qiutian Law had been defeated.
Master had mentioned that the young man still had the mysterious Sixth Extreme Realm to reveal!
This was an Ultimate Realm that the All Heavens Supreme Holy Capital had yet to achieve, containing a power of unknown mystery. No one knew exactly what it entailed, but it was undoubtedly an extremely special power, given that even the Supreme Holy Capital hadn't managed to cultivate it.
His Master had deduced that this power was not a survival technique like Blood Drop Rebirth, but an extremely formidable ability.
If the young man were to use this power, Qiutian Law would be defeated even more quickly and more thoroughly!
Thus, when it was his turn to face the young man, he would likely suffer the same fate.
Xiao Tianyu knew that if he were to face Qiutian Law, he might win, but it would be a hard-fought victory. After all, Qiutian Law had indeed reached the ultimate level below Sage.
While Xiao Tianyu was silent, the other Sage Sons and Daughters in the waiting area were shaken to their core.
Though this battle was not directly related to them, it had crushed their pride as prodigies.
Compared to these two, the gap was simply too vast.
If Qiutian Law could be considered a Reincarnation of a Sage, they could still understand, but the young man's power was beyond comprehension, shattering their preconceived notions.
"This guy..."
Qingjiu smiled bitterly. Originally, he had been hopeful of placing in the top ten, his heart filled with arrogance and pride. But now, this new member of the Flower Touring Society had proven to be an exceptionally formidable opponent, directly surpassing all others.
"That's not Master, is it..."
Hao Yue Holy Son's eyes were blurry and unfocused, unable to see, but upon careful perception, he realized that everything was happening in the arena. The countless cheers that reached his ears made him understand the situation.
The young man had actually displayed Master's Sword Dao?
His expression became incredibly complex.
As the announcement of his advancement was made, Li Hao also descended from the stage.
Returning to the waiting area, all eyes seemed to be drawn to him, focusing on his figure.
Li Hao was used to this by now, sitting down calmly and giving a slight smile to Lin Qingying and other acquaintances, signaling that they need not worry.
"To say he's not a Reincarnation of a Sage, I almost don't believe it..."
High above, Lying Heaven Sage looked at the victorious Li Hao and couldn't help but sigh.
Defeating Qiutian Law was truly extraordinary.
Feng Boping, however, chuckled lightly. "This isn't even his true strength."
"Really?"
Lying Heaven Sage was taken aback, staring at him in surprise. Then, she seemed to understand something, her eyes widening in realization.
"Right, the Virtual Sage pursued him because he possesses the Sixth Extreme Realm. He still has the power of the Sixth Extreme Realm to use. By the way, did your Reincarnation in the Mortal World ever witness his Sixth Extreme Realm? What kind of power is it?"
At her question, images flashed through Feng Boping's mind, including the charcoal-grilled snacks in the city of the Border Pass, but ultimately, they settled on the final scene on the Buddhist Sect's Spirit Mountain, where the young man had been in a state of ultimate fury.
A gentle smile appeared on his lips. "It's a power similar to the Saint Path, but with a touch of transcendence. It's an extremely formidable Ultimate Realm, not inferior to the Eternal Dao Domain!"
"Really that strong?"
Lying Heaven Sage's eyes widened in shock, though she could somewhat guess the difficulty of cultivating the Sixth Extreme Realm, which required a special mindset and insight. The fact that the All Heavens Supreme Holy Capital hadn't managed to comprehend it only reinforced how special it was.
Following the conclusion of Li Hao and Qiutian Law's battle, the entire competition fell into a brief lull. After a few minutes, the next round of matches began.
However, compared to the earth-shattering battle that had just taken place, the subsequent clashes between prodigies, even when using Dao Entry Level techniques, failed to impress the audience as much, and even the cheers were few.
At this point, many were looking forward to Li Hao's fifth round, hoping he would face another Supreme Sage's Disciple to see if such an epic battle could happen again.
As the fourth round ended, Li Hao's Channeling Qi seemed to have recovered. In the fifth round, he faced a Holy Son from a Holy Land of the Middle Nine Realms.
Upon seeing his opponent was Li Hao, the Holy Son was momentarily stunned, then he smiled bitterly.
Behind him, many disciples from his Holy Land who had come to cheer him on let out sighs of despair.
When it was time for the match, the opponent didn't even wait for Li Hao to step onto the stage before conceding.
Li Hao was just about to stand up but froze for a moment upon hearing the news, then sat back down.
With the fifth round being a breeze, Li Hao unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance in the sixth round.
"Never thought we'd actually meet."
Qingjiu hadn't expected to encounter Li Hao either. During the earlier quota battles, he had been quite looking forward to facing this newcomer from the Flower Touring Society. He could defeat him casually on the Battle Platform, offer a few words of "guidance", and then return to the Flower Touring Society to receive the admiration and praise of Zhantan, Night Ancestor, and others. But now, all that remained was a bitter smile...
Li Hao smiled and said, "A simple sparring session?"
Qingjiu immediately broke into a grin and replied, "Sure!"
He then directly revealed his Ultimate Realm and charged at Li Hao, who in turn unleashed his Eternal Dao Domain.
As the sword shadows emerged within the Dao Domain and the Laws overlapped, Qingjiu was instantly suppressed, unable to move.
"..."
Qingjiu was speechless. This was a simple sparring session?
He hadn't even touched Li Hao before he lost.
However, compared to the power Li Hao had displayed earlier, this was indeed a significant let-up...
He chuckled bitterly, reined in his power, and conceded.
By the time the seventh round arrived, Li Hao thought it would be another easy match. However, as soon as the match results were announced, the crowd below erupted in shock once more.
Li Hao looked up and saw his opponent: another Supreme Saint Disciple, Xiao Tianyu!
