Chapter 386: She Cannot Be Touched
Chapter 386: She Cannot Be Touched
Hearing the Ancestor's words, Ying Xiaoxiao bit her lip slightly and stared at Li Hao. Various thoughts swirled in her mind, but in the end, she slowly shook her head and said:
"Perhaps he just passed by here."
"..."
The God King fell silent. Her words felt like a loud slap in the face, making him feel a bit of self-mockery and coldness.
How could he have such foolish descendants? It was truly laughable.
Even with solid evidence, the other party still showed such blind bias. As the Ancestor, he seemed to have no authority at all.
"If that's the case, if he dares to step onto the battlefield, I want you to kill him with your own hands!"
The God King said each word with no emotion.
Ying Xiaoxiao's face changed, turning pale, but after a brief exchange of glances with Li Hao far away, she took a deep breath and her eyes grew resolute. "I will do my utmost to fight for the Divine Race!"
Hearing this, the God King didn't bother to waste more words with her. He loudly addressed the Primordial Ancestor on the other side of the Void Sky Abyss:
"Same old act, after all these years, you still have no new tricks, and you still need the help of All Heavens?!"
His voice reverberated through the void, surpassing the speed of sound, a manifestation of Laws Power. It shook through the millions of elite troops of the Divine Race and the minds of the many Sages in the Demon-Slaying Assembly.
The faces of the Sages at the assembly changed. The God King's voice, Laws Piercing through their protective Great Dao, resonated in their heads, a form of intimidation.
Even from a distance of millions of miles, his Laws Power had such an impact. In battle, it would likely cause terrifying attacks in an instant.
"Dark Ancestor, back then I spared you because of the difficulty of your cultivation. You show no gratitude and now wish to repeat your mistakes. This time, you and your clan will rest eternally in the Void Sky Abyss with your sinful blood."
The Primordial Ancestor said coldly.
His voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, dispelling the God King's domineering and awe-inspiring Power, then sweeping toward the Divine Race's army, transforming from a gentle breeze into a torrential rain, like a storm laden with thunder.
Two cold, electric beams shot from under the God King's helmet, tearing apart the Primordial Ancestor's Power, a mutual test of strength.
"Primordial Ancestor, there's no need to get angry. Although I am no match for this Dark Ancestor, if any of the Demon Race dares to cross the line, I will be the first to eliminate them!"
The black-robed Sage said. Li Hao also knew his name; he was an extremely old Sage called Nether Saint.
He was almost a Supreme Sage, having long been known as "invincible below the Supreme Sage."
Like the Star Sage before, they both had their glorious periods lasting several hundred years, unmatched by any Supreme Sage. Later, they both embarked on the path to comprehend Supreme Sage.
However, after countless years, they still hadn't taken that final step, but without a doubt, their power and abilities were even more formidable than before.
"Indeed, I would like to meet that evil dragon", the Star Sage said with interest.
"If you need to deal with that evil dragon, I can offer my assistance."
At this moment, a short and plump man who had been silent all along also spoke with a smile. His complexion was ruddy, and while speaking, he continued to summon dishes, leaving the most empty plates on the table.
Li Hao gazed at the Divine Race's army without saying a word.
The Primordial Ancestor glanced at Li Hao and said with a calm smile, "If the Dark Ancestor attacks any of you, I will make him pay the price."
The other Sages also knew that if the Dark Ancestor attacked and revealed any weakness, he would be struck down by the Primordial Ancestor's thunderous blow.
"Why hasn't the Venerated Hao spoken?"
"Nether Saint and Star Sage were both invincible below the Supreme Sage. He has offended both of them at once, quite the young man."
"If we talk about talent, he indeed has the right to be confident, but in terms of actual combat strength, his foundation is still somewhat shallow."
The eyes of the Sages flickered, and those who knew each other communicated telepathically.
At the Void Sky Abyss, the god king stood tall and immovable, while the Divine Race soared into the air with numerous figures. Among them were not only the Divine Race's own Sages but also Sages from other Holy Lands who had pledged their allegiance.
Among these figures was the former Clan Head, Ying Qing Shuang.
However, with the return of the Ancestor and the rise of the Divine Race, the position and authority of the Clan Head naturally fell to the god king. She returned to her former role, becoming the Sharp Sword of the Divine Race, clearing obstacles for the family.
"Form the array, Ultimate Sovereign Yellow Array!"
Ying Qing Shuang's face was solemn as she commanded in a low voice.
In an instant, the Divine Race's army sprang into action, transforming from a golden sea into countless Golden Lotus flowers that bloomed in the void, forming a grand array.
A great wind seemed to rise within the array as Extreme Dao Power from everyone converged and poured into the center. From there, figures of Divine Race Semi-Saints emerged. Under the array's power, their auras surged, their bodies glowing with a golden radiance, like golden crows rising in the void.
"The ancient Ultimate Sovereign Yellow Array truly lives up to its reputation; even Semi-Saints can possess power on par with Sages."
The Nether Saint watched coldly and said.
After speaking, he took a single step and instantly appeared in the void outside the gathering.
The might emanating from his body swept across heaven and earth, and darkness surged from him like a tidal wave, as if to obscure the Heavenly Curtain.
A single figure seemed capable of withstanding a million-strong army.
Seeing the Nether Saint's might, the numerous Sages all looked grave, their eyes filled with both wariness and amazement.
"Such power, he must be nearly on par with a Supreme Sage."
"He probably hasn't become a Supreme Sage yet, otherwise, he wouldn't be hiding it."
"I wonder if it's possible that the Nether Saint, though not a Supreme Sage, can already exchange a few blows with one?"
Hearing this, many people's hearts raced. Not a Supreme Sage, yet able to exchange a few blows with one? That was rarer than a Supreme Sage!
"Hao Tianzun shouldn't have been so arrogant just now." Someone glanced at Li Hao, feeling a mix of schadenfreude.
At the front of the Divine Race's army, Ying Qing Shuang's expression was solemn. She knew of the Nether Saint's reputation and the countless astonishing deeds he had accomplished. He was a terrifying figure to be treated as a Supreme Sage.
"Assist me in the array, Dao Apex Divine Reversal!"
Ying Qing Shuang said sternly.
Six Divine Race Sages suddenly stepped forward, gathering around her, and divine light poured from their bodies, enveloping Ying Qing Shuang.
In no time, Ying Qing Shuang's figure reappeared, her armor now ablaze with golden flames. Her aura surged to a terrifying degree as she swiftly charged toward the Nether Saint.
The Nether Saint's brow furrowed slightly, and his dark power darkened the surrounding ten thousand miles, even trapping light. He met Ying Qing Shuang head-on, unleashing his Ultimate Realm power.
Divine Power, Heaven-Earth Meridian...
Netherwast Teleportation!
A black sword appeared in the Nether Saint's hand, its blade swirling with terrifying black waves, brimming with destructive power.
Li Hao's gaze sharpened for a moment but quickly returned to calm.
At first glance, it seemed like Sword Dao, but it was actually the Saint Path, merely channeled through the sword.
Boom!!
A loud explosion echoed through the void. Ying Qing Shuang's golden light was enveloped by the Nether Saint's dark domain, but the spherical black domain trembled violently with the explosion.
In an instant, the explosive sound faded, and the black domain seemed to tear open. A sphere of golden flames soared out, like a proud and noble firebird, rising into the air before suddenly diving forward.
As it passed, the void shattered, leaving behind golden, burning cracks.
Nether Saint was momentarily stunned, seemingly not expecting the other party to survive.
Seeing the overwhelming aura emanating from Ying Qing, his expression grew serious, his eyes turning pitch black. Above his head, a massive black star faintly appeared, representing the Ultimate Law of Darkness.
The appearance of this black star unleashed a terrifying aura. Nether Saint suddenly raised his hand, and the weapon in his palm began to vibrate, emitting waves of tribulation power that spread like smoke.
This was a Dao Tribulation Imperial Weapon!
Li Hao's expression was one of bewilderment, but when he came to his senses, his eyes lit up.
The black star, he could tell, was a technique similar to the Heavenly Stars Vein, a lineage technique!
However, it was more accurate to say that the other party had stored and sealed certain powers in advance, using them as an extended lineage.
The idea was right, but the choice was wrong.
However, this wrong choice provided Li Hao with some inspiration.
"That tribulation power is even deeper than achievement..."
Li Hao glanced at the sword, which was at least a three-tribulation Imperial Weapon, incredibly powerful.
As the power from the black star above his head poured in, Nether Saint erupted with a terrifying aura, like an emperor in the darkness.
Boom!
In a split second, the clash of Great Dao caused the entire Void Sky Abyss to tremble.
The golden light suddenly split in two, breaking apart.
"Grandmother!!"
Ying Xiaoxiao's pupils contracted as she saw the scene. She rushed forward urgently, heading toward the fray.
At the same time, the Dragon God beneath the god king's feet revealed a cruel and savage killing intent in its eyes, letting out a low roar.
The god king's body soared into the air, his cloak fluttering in the wind. The Dragon God emerged from behind him, rising into the sky.
By not standing on the mount, he was silently allowing it to join the battle.
"That accursed dragon has appeared. Let me see how Dragon Saint's brother fares."
Star Sage's lips curled into a smile. Dragon Saint and Dragon God shared the same bloodline, both having achieved the rank of Supreme Sage. During the last attempt to kill the god king, Dragon God had suffered severe injuries and, according to the information he had, had not yet recovered. This made it the perfect opponent for practice.
Beside him, the short, fat man stood up with a chuckle, his eyes gleaming. "I wonder what Supreme Sage dragon meat tastes like?"
Li Hao glanced at him upon hearing this. The man noticed Li Hao's gaze and smiled at him, appearing amiable.
Star Sage, however, shot Li Hao a glance and smirked. He knew Li Hao was strong, but his foundation was shallow. It was wise of him not to join the battle.
As the Dragon God charged into the fray, Star Sage and Feasting Saint quickly followed.
Seeing Ying Xiaoxiao rushing to aid Ying Qing, the Dragon God itself charged toward Nether Saint, attacking to defend.
"Attacking the outnumbered, truly the Demon Race's way." Star Sage said calmly, but he was the first to strike at Ying Qing, aiming to eliminate this Divine Race general and reduce their numbers.
Feasting Saint, on the other hand, turned and rushed toward the Dragon God, aiding Nether Saint.
"Little girl, let's start with your head to warm up."
Star Sage looked at the approaching Ying Xiaoxiao with a calm expression, not taking her seriously. He raised his hand to strike, the gap between them too vast.
But when he made his move, his attention was on the God King. Seeing the God King's towering figure unmoving, he couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
At that moment, a sudden, inexplicable chill locked onto him.
It felt as if a cold blade was pressed against his neck, ready to slice through at any moment.
Star Sage was taken aback, his face suddenly changing as he looked toward the God King. However, he noticed that the God King wasn't emanating any killing intent; the feeling was coming from behind him.
"You?"
Star Sage abruptly turned around and saw that Li Hao had already left his seat, stepping into the void battlefield and rushing over.
At the same time, Ying Xiaoxiao, who was rushing to Star Sage, also spotted Li Hao. When she saw him step onto the battlefield, his aura gradually blossoming with power, her urgent expression turned even paler.
Two streams of clear tears flowed down her cheeks. She bit her lip slightly, her eyes filled with killing intent as she charged toward Star Sage even faster.
But Star Sage suddenly dodged, turning to coldly stare at Li Hao.
"Do you intend to fight me here?"
Star Sage's eyes were icy.
If Li Hao nodded, he would have burst into laughter. This would mean that the Primordial Ancestor would never let Li Hao off, unless the Divine Race won this battle.
"Anyone but her, your choice."
Li Hao didn't bother to say more. Ying Xiaoxiao was taking such a risk, and he had to save her.
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing this, not only did Star Sage freeze, but Ying Xiaoxiao, who was about to rush to save Grandmother, also stopped, turning to look at Li Hao.
Seeing Li Hao's continuously rising aura, Star Sage knew Li Hao was serious, and so did Ying Xiaoxiao.
She was stunned for a moment, then wiped away her tears, breaking into a smile as she quickly headed toward Grandmother.
"Grandmother."
Seeing Grandmother, covered in blood within the shattered Golden Light, Ying Xiaoxiao's momentarily halted sorrow surged forth once again.
"Take my place, protect the clan..."
Ying Qing clenched Ying Xiaoxiao's hand tightly, but before she could finish her words, a terrifying destructive power began to consume her from within, her body rapidly disintegrating. This destructive power, like a flame, started to spread toward Ying Xiaoxiao.
Thwip!
A sharp sound, like that of a sword, cut through the destructive power, seemingly dividing the void into two separate realms of heaven and earth.
"Don't just stand there."
A gentle, calm voice sounded in her ear, and the dazed Ying Xiaoxiao snapped back to reality, recognizing Li Hao's voice.
She turned to look and saw Li Hao still standing on the other side of the battlefield, facing off against Star Sage.
Her heart tightened, and she immediately regained her senses. If Li Hao was fighting for her, how could he possibly survive against the Primordial Ancestor?
Not to mention the present situation, Star Sage was an extremely formidable ancient sage, second only to a Supreme Sage.
"Run!"
Ying Xiaoxiao urgently telepathed, then turned to the God King, telepathing to the Ancestor, "Ancestor, save him, he hasn't joined the Primordial Ancestor!"
The God King's expression remained cold. Li Hao's intervention only made him raise an eyebrow slightly, but he wasn't particularly surprised.
Upon hearing Ying Xiaoxiao's telepathy, he felt a slight annoyance.
"Perhaps the Primordial Ancestor instructed him to approach me this way? Now, his only path is to personally speak to me and submit a pledge of allegiance!" the God King coldly telepathed back.
Ying Xiaoxiao's mouth opened slightly, and she was momentarily stunned, her face turning pale.
She naturally didn't believe that Li Hao was intentionally using this as a ruse, but from the Ancestor's attitude, she could see that Li Hao's situation was extremely dangerous.
