Chapter 369: Shattering the Dao Bone to Defy Heavenly Destiny, Burning Buddha’s Blood to Save All Beings (45K Base + 5 Additional) (Part 2)
The Venerable Buddhist seemed to smile slightly, then pinched his fingers and swore the oath in front of everyone.
Once the oath was completed, he raised his hand, and the Great Dao energy around him slowly condensed, emitting a Karmacycle aura that spread toward Li Hao on the Battle Platform.
Meanwhile, the Sage from the Yuan family had already dismantled the array.
The entire crowd held their breath, watching to see the outcome.
Li Hao's brow furrowed. Although the Venerable Buddhist had sworn by his Buddhist Heart, he still felt suspicious; this was not normal.
Soon, Li Hao felt a strange Powerdao Resonance enveloping him, the aura of the Saint Path, which contained the Karmacycle. In a daze, he seemed to see countless cycles of life, death, and extinction.
When he came to his senses, he saw a red thread floating from the thread of soul energy that the Virtual Sage was holding, directly wrapping around Li Hao's body.
There was the cause, and there was the effect.
The crowd erupted in shock.
It was indeed Li Hao who had committed the murder!
For a moment, countless people found it hard to believe and even harder to understand.
The Venerable Buddhist sighed and said, "Karma cycles, young practitioner, your killing intent is too heavy!"
The Virtual Sage exclaimed in shock and anger, "You still dare to say it wasn't you?!"
Feng Boping's face darkened as he glared at the Venerable Buddhist and said, "Aren't you afraid of damaging your Buddhist Heart, or do you have other means?!"
"Enough!"
Huntian Sage suddenly rebuked Feng Boping, saying, "Venerable Buddhist, as a Sage, has already sworn an oath for a mere junior, which is already a humiliation. How long do you intend to keep entangling this matter?"
Feng Boping's mouth opened slightly, but seeing the cold light in Huntian Sage's eyes, the words died in his throat.
However, he knew that if he did nothing and just accepted this, Li Hao would be handed over to the Virtual Sage for punishment, with no chance of reincarnation!
"It was definitely not Hao Tian who did this!"
Feng Boping gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and stood in front of Li Hao like a mountain, facing the Supreme Sages of the Upper Three Realms. Despite the disdainful gazes of the Supreme Sages, he declared, word by word:
"I am willing to stake my life and the Saint Path on it!"
These words sent shockwaves through the entire crowd.
A Three Calamities Sage was willing to stake his life and the Saint Path on a guarantee—what a tremendous bond of trust!
When Li Hao heard Feng Boping's words, his heart, which had turned cold, trembled violently.
Seeing that aged but straight back, his eyes suddenly welled up with tears.
Among the countless Sages, only Feng Boping was willing to stand in front of him, offering unconditional trust!
Hearing Feng Boping's words, the faces of the Supreme Sages also changed slightly. Achieving the rank of Three Calamities Sage was exceedingly difficult, and passing the Three Calamities was no easy feat. Just one step away from the eternal glory of the Saint Path and the realm of Supreme Sage, how could he be willing to stake his life on a guarantee?!
"The result is clear, and staking your life won't change it!"
The Virtual Sage was also shocked, never expecting such a close relationship between the two. But then he roared in anger.
"Thief Saint, this isn't a guarantee, it's a threat. Do you have any doubts about my Karma Technique?" the Venerable Buddhist said, his gaze intense.
Huntian Sage's eyes turned cold and sharp, saying, "That's right, are you threatening us? The result is clear. Do you have any evidence to prove it wasn't him? With a thousand pairs of eyes watching, how can you say it wasn't him?!"
Feng Boping gritted his teeth and lowered his head. His expertise could not prove Li Hao's innocence; otherwise, he wouldn't have staked his life on a guarantee.
But he trusted Li Hao, believing that Li Hao wouldn't lose his mind and act so rashly in public.
He knew all too well that the boy had never been arrogant or boastful. He had always been laid-back and low-key. However, there were always people who would bully and provoke him.
"Give me time, and I can prove it!"
Feng Boping gritted his teeth, determined to buy time for Li Hao.
The Virtual Sage laughed, but it was a laugh of extreme anger: "Give you time? You want to stall, waiting for his Cultivation Ascension. His Talent is indeed high, but daring to overstep in the Dao Law Realm and treating the Saints of the Thirty-Three Heavens as air—if we wait for his Ascension, he might even be angered by a word from us."
Feng Boping lifted his head and stared at him fiercely: "You know very well how your disciple died!"
"Don't speak such nonsense to me. I see the evidence, the proof of the Karma Technique!"
The Virtual Sage roared in anger.
The Law Saint said indifferently: "All things are governed by law, and without law, nothing can stand. The Heavenly Dao has its rules, mountains have their paths, and rivers have their courses. If the laws are reversed, Heaven and Earth will be destroyed. Since you can't provide evidence, you must accept the result and act according to the law!"
"There's no need to argue further, Thief Saint. Know your place. It's not your turn to question here. The outcome is clear, so don't cause any more trouble!"
The Huntian Sage spoke coldly, his body exuding an aura of authority. Though he was just an Incarnation, the Supreme Sage's dignity seemed to condense the entire sky above him, pressing down on the entire Holy Mountain.
Countless people felt his authority and their faces changed. This was the power of a Supreme Sage. Even the Wrath of an Incarnation could make Heaven and Earth tremble!
Feng Boping's body shook, and he suddenly lifted his head, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the Law Saint, Huntian Sage, and other Supreme Sages. He couldn't believe that these Supreme Sages couldn't see through the deception.
But now, seeing this result, he realized that Li Hao was too brilliant, obstructing the path for their disciples. If Li Hao fell, Qiutian Law and Xiao Tianyu would be the main contenders for the top spot.
This was, after all, an opportunity for Ascension!
"Who would have thought that in the vast Land of Sages, with the Thirty-Three Realms and hundreds of Divine Dynasties, there's no room for a true world-class genius!"
Feng Boping looked up to the sky, letting out a long laugh, but his face seemed to have aged suddenly.
The Huntian Sage said coldly: "All Heavens are not short of monsters. Although he has extremely high Talent, such a character, who defies All Heavens, deserves to be reborn!"
On the Battle Platform, Li Hao's gaze swept over the faces of the Supreme Sages. The Medicine Supreme Sage's expression had changed slightly after the Karma Technique was revealed, and he no longer spoke up for Li Hao.
The Primordial Ancestor simply watched him silently, a look of regret in his eyes. Li Hao saw that look and knew that the other party had no intention of intervening.
Was it that he couldn't see through it, or did he see it but choose not to speak out?
Li Hao smiled. The Virtual Sage and the Buddhist Venerable had planned this well!
"Old Feng, forget it."
Li Hao spoke, his voice soft.
Hearing Li Hao's words, Feng Boping's body trembled slightly. He turned around and looked at the young man on the Battle Platform, who wore a smile but stood alone and unsupported.
At that moment, he felt as if a part of his heart had been torn out.
This scene seemed familiar. In that grand Divine General Manor, which could accommodate countless servants, there was no room for one more master.
"Li Hao..."
His throat trembled, and he felt a deep sense of sorrow.
"The path of the Saint, the Sage..."
Li Hao smiled lightly.
If this was the face of the Sages, then he had seen it.
If this was Ascension, it was far from the true Sage he had envisioned.
"Is this the goal that countless people chase after? They are just mortals..." Li Hao thought, smiling as he said to Old Feng:
"If you can't wake someone who is pretending to sleep, then you must wake them up by force."
Feng Boping was stunned, but he soon realized that Li Hao was never the type to submit passively.
Waiting obediently for the Virtual Sage to deal with him?
However, under the watchful eyes of the Sages, even if Li Hao tried to resist, a Sage would personally suppress him. He was only at the Dao Law Realm; how could he defy the countless Sages in the sky!
After speaking to Old Feng, Li Hao glanced at the Supreme Sages of the Upper Three Realms. Then, his gaze swept over the Saints of the Thirty-Three Heavens, whose auras were concealed, but he did not look at the Virtual Sage or the Buddhist Venerable.
Finally, his gaze swept over the entire audience.
His body stood straight and resolute, and for the first time, he spoke with a serious yet bright voice:
"Though I did indeed have the heart to kill that despicable being, I did not kill anyone. Whether you believe me or not is up to your own hearts. I, Hao Tian, stand by my actions, but if you want me to pay with my life, your inferior disciple does not deserve it!"
As he finished speaking, Li Hao suddenly turned his gaze to the Virtual Sage, his eyes sharp and intense.
At this moment, his spine was straighter than ever before.
Faced with the countless Sages, he no longer bowed his head, and there was no trace of reverence in his heart.
If reverence cannot even earn the truth, what use is it?!
Hearing Li Hao’s words, the Virtual Sage sneered, “You admit it. You did indeed want to kill, and you did. Do you think everyone will believe you?”
Li Hao did not say more. He spoke not to defend himself but to inform those who were willing to believe him, to give them an answer.
Those who were unwilling to believe, harbored doubts, or were biased from the start would not be convinced even if he explained until his voice was hoarse.
Once the seed of doubt is planted, the outcome is clear.
"Arrogant, do you really think that just because you can top All Heavens, you can act as you please? You’re not a Sage yet!"
Huntian Sage’s voice was stern, as if scolding Li Hao. As he spoke, the clouds on the Holy Mountain gathered, rolling and flashing like thunder.
Li Hao glanced up at him, roughly understanding why this Sage was so aggressive. It was because he had defeated a Disciple of the Heavenly Saint’s territory, tarnishing the Heavenly Saint’s reputation.
He had never learned to be smooth and cunning. He only knew that when bullied, he would retaliate in kind. Yet, some people simply couldn’t bear it!
"If there must be punishment, I believe disqualifying him from this Supreme Battle is the harshest penalty. Why don’t you leave it to me? I will discipline him."
At this moment, Sword Master suddenly spoke.
He knew the result was already decided and could not be reversed. His words were merely a last-ditch effort.
"Ridiculous, he killed my disciple. How can you discipline him?" Virtual Sage immediately rebuked.
Sword Master glared at him, his body surrounded by shifting Sword Qi, as if about to erupt.
But then, Law Saint spoke coldly, “Is my word not clear enough? We must act according to the law. Do you two want to defy my law?!”
As he spoke, countless Great Dao emerged from Heaven and Earth, gathering from all directions. This was the law that mountains, rivers, trees, flowers, and all beings followed, and it was his power.
Such overwhelming might instantly made Law Saint the center of Heaven and Earth, like the sole source of light.
Sword Master and Feng Boping’s expressions changed slightly. Even as Incarnations, Law Saint was an extremely formidable presence among the Supreme Sages. If they really fought, even their full eruption might not fare well, especially with other Legalist Sages present.
Virtual Sage said, “Law Saint is handling this impartially. The two of you must not lose your dignity. If you truly wish to contend, wait for the Sage Discussion, and I will personally visit you!”
He then turned to Buddhist Venerable and said, “This child is filled with murderous intent. Let him be enlightened by Buddhist Venerable.”
Buddhist Venerable nodded slightly, “If that is the case, I will take on the responsibility.”
He looked at Li Hao on the Battle Platform and said, “You killed in public, exterminated the Holy Son, and even destroyed his Divine Soul without mercy. I will first strip you of your power. After you comprehend the Buddhist Heart for three thousand years in front of my Buddha, and eliminate your demonic nature, you can tread the path of cultivation again.”
As he spoke, he raised his palm, and pure, dazzling Golden Light shone like the sun, descending from Heaven and Earth toward Li Hao.
"You!"
Seeing him raise his hand, Feng Boping was instantly enraged and took a step forward.
"Hmph!"
Law Saint suddenly snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with a cold light. With his high cheekbones, he already looked extremely stern, and the Great Dao surrounding him suddenly descended.
With a loud thud, Feng Boping’s body was struck, suppressed by the Saint Path power, spitting out a mouthful of blood and retreating.
Sword Master’s body tensed, and his expression changed. He also sensed that Huntian Sage was staring at him, realizing he had no chance to intervene.
He turned his head to the Battle Platform, his eyes filled with a hint of sorrow. Such a Sword Dao monster was about to fall. The wars between Sages were often more brutal and bloody.
Talent… it is ultimately your talent. While they may respect you for it, if you become a hindrance, they will eliminate you without hesitation.
"Old Feng!"
As Feng Boping was suppressed by Law Saint, Li Hao on the Battle Platform, who was already prepared to fight to the death, suddenly changed his expression, his eyes reddening.
He looked up, his eyes filled with anger at the Upper Three Realms Supreme Sages seated on the clouds, seeing only cold, disdainful gazes behind the mist.
At this moment, Li Hao knew that only true power could truly earn a seat at the table.
Talent? It’s nothing!
"Suppress!"
The dazzling Golden Light palm had now descended upon the Battle Platform, casting a shadow over the entire sky and obscuring the faces of the Sages.
In the audience, some people lost all color from their faces, some screamed, some suddenly stood up, and others wore smirks of malicious glee.
On the Battle Platform, the young man, under the massive, sky-obscuring palm, seemed like a mere speck of dust.
Qiutian Law's face turned cold. Although the opponent had broken the rules and deserved his fate, it was still a pity that he had to die.
Xiao Tianyu furrowed his brow, his expression darkening.
With a searing heat, the Buddhist Palm pressed down. On the Battle Platform, the young man erupted with a sky-piercing Golden Light. His black hair stood on end, transforming into a silver-white color, resembling flames that burned and billowed wildly.
"I will pierce a hole in your palm even if it means my death!"
A roar that shook the entire Tianyuan World echoed, and the young man on the platform erupted with an overwhelmingly brilliant light. At that moment, Li Hao unleashed all his techniques, activating his Ultimate Realm to the fullest.
A majestic Dharma Image materialized behind him, and at the same time, it seemed as if the Heavens and Stars were shining. The Heavenly Stars Vein, which he had been cultivating, was now revealed.
It was as if the light of countless stars had converged upon him.
An indescribable, primordial fury radiated from him.
This was a power that surpassed the Heaven-Earth Meridian, a power that reflected the Heavens!
Countless stars flickered for him.
"Uaaaaaaah!!!"
The young man's body merged with the Heaven and Earth Dharma Image, erupting with a roar that shook the nine heavens. He soared into the sky, forming a radiant Divine Sword in his hand, a Sword Light that condensed into an unprecedented Sword Technique.
This was the Divine Guide!
At this moment, under the Ultimate Realm of Transcendence to Immortality, enhanced by the Eternal Dao Domain, and bolstered by the Heavenly Stars Vein, this sword erupted with an unprecedented brilliance. In the compressed space under the Buddhist Palm's suppression, it shone with a terrifying light that illuminated the entire world!
That one sword seemed like a celestial being descending to earth, pointing out a path of great Dao, a path of light and brilliance!
Divine Guide!!!
Boom!!
At that moment, it seemed as if the entire heaven and earth had split apart, as if the entire world had been cleaved by that one sword.
Seeing the invincible figure standing within the Dharma Image, everyone in the Tianyuan World was stunned.
In the waiting area, the Holy Sons of All Heavens stared with wide eyes, their expressions reflecting the ultimate moment of brilliance.
The Virtual Sage was also taken aback, his pupils contracting as he gazed at the scene in shock.
The other Sages, who had always maintained a calm or composed demeanor, were now all visibly shocked.
What kind of power was this?!
Was this the power of the Dao Law Realm?!
Law Saint, Huntian Sage, and others, all showed a hint of surprise in their eyes, clearly not expecting that this young man could unleash such a terrifying presence.
The thunderous sound echoed as the brilliant sword extinguished the Golden Light of the Buddhist Palm. The Saint Path power within the Buddhist Palm was being eroded!
The Buddhist Venerable was equally shocked, feeling that the ant in his palm had suddenly transformed into a scorching spark, its power causing him astonishment and awe.
This was a power that could rival a Sage!
If it were a Sage of the First Calamity, they would likely be injured by this sword.
But he reacted quickly. After the initial shock, his eyes flashed with Buddhist Light, and the power he poured into the Buddhist Palm suddenly intensified.
What was originally just a casual strike, capable of suppressing with ease—since he was acting personally with Sage power, which was unstoppable—now saw him using his true strength.
Boom!!
The fractured Buddhist Palm, reinforced by the overwhelming Saint Path power, quickly closed again.
With an irresistible and unyielding will, it pressed down ruthlessly.
Under the eruption of the True Energy of a Three Calamities Sage, the Sword Light within the palm seemed to be swallowed, the terrifying suppression power threatening to crush the entire void.
Li Hao felt the Dharma Image trembling and disintegrating!
His Dharma Image was withstanding unimaginable pressure, and the compressing power acted upon him, causing his flesh and blood to tear apart, spewing out blood.
The bones within his body creaked, and the Dao Bone, into which he had integrated the power of the Laws, now fractured and shattered!
This indescribable pain filled Li Hao with a maddening rage.
His belief burned more intensely than ever before!
He would sever it all!!
Shatter the Dao Bone, defy the Heavenly Destiny!
"Break it!!!"
