Chapter 388: Dao Ancestor
Chapter 388: Dao Ancestor
Seeing Li Hao's composure, Ying Xiaoxiao recalled the method he used to slay the Star Sage, and her tension gradually eased.
She knew that Li Hao had faced numerous life-threatening situations before, but he always managed to turn the tide. Back then, he was far less powerful than he is now.
Boom!!
At that moment, the entire Void Sky Abyss suddenly trembled as if the heavens were collapsing and the earth was splitting apart. A terrifying shockwave erupted from the Void Rift, and a chaotic light began to gather, slowly spreading outward.
However, what seemed to be a slow diffusion was, in fact, an instantaneous event.
It was like the universe bursting forth, the heavens and earth collapsing in an instant. Li Hao's pupils constricted as he sensed the terrifying destructive power from the chaotic light.
His body hairs stood on end, and his Dao Domain instantly enveloped Ying Xiaoxiao as he rapidly retreated.
At the same time, the Dragon God also regained his senses and immediately soared away.
The other Divine Race Sages also scattered in fear.
Fortunately, the chaotic power seemed to have a consciousness and veered away from the Divine Race, but the demon slaying assembly had no protection.
"What, what kind of power is this?"
"Chaos, the end?"
"Run!"
"The Saint Path has been annihilated; is that Heavenly Dao?"
The Sages were horrified, feeling a sense of dread as they fled in all directions. Was this the impact of the battle between the Primordial Ancestor and the god king?
In the void crack, the powers of origin and end collided in their ultimate forms.
The Primordial Ancestor wielded the power of origin, viewing it as the beginning of all things.
The god king, having cultivated to the extreme of the Dao, had also condensed a Saint Path, his Saint Path being the end.
All things will come to an end, and the end is also the beginning.
The two Saint Paths had a similar yet fundamentally different nature, like fated enemies.
At this moment, the powers of origin and end, under the eruptions of their respective Divine Realms, reached their ultimate states, tearing the void apart, shattering all laws, and revealing the most primal chaos in that realm.
Chaos devoured everything, including the Saint Path.
The Sages' Saint Paths were born after chaos, not before, and thus could not resist it.
"Without them, do you still think you can rewrite the story?"
The god king's gaze was fixed on the Primordial Ancestor. They had once been friends, drinking and calling each other brothers, but now they were mortal enemies!
"Do you want to kill me for revenge? Can you even do it?" The Primordial Ancestor looked at him calmly.
The god king's eyes suddenly turned fierce: "The Ancient Hall is about to open. I cannot kill you, but I will not let you have your way!"
"The bronze throne was given to you. After all these years, have you become a transcendent being?"
He couldn't help but sneer as he spoke.
The Primordial Ancestor said indifferently, "You know that my only wish since ancient times has been to see beyond the world. Since you understand me, you should know that if I take that step, I will bring you with me."
"Ha!"
The god king spat and sneered, "If I had taken that step, I would have brought you with me. Why didn't you give me that chance?"
The Primordial Ancestor looked at him quietly, knowing that further argument was pointless. He said, "Then let's see if you have the ability."
Once, they had agreed to become Immortal Deities together as brothers, but now they were doing everything to prevent each other from transcending. Perhaps this was the irony of fate.
"Die!"
The god king roared, his body enveloped in increasingly violent golden flames. At the same time, his Dao Domain layers stacked up, reaching the ultimate 360 layers in an instant.
Eternal Dao Domain!
His Eternal Dao Domain was filled with endless flames, like an eternal fire realm. The Crimson Flame burned, carrying his anger from countless years.
As the power of his Dao Domain spread, his aura intensified, and the power of the end erupted with even more terrifying corrosive force.
The Primordial Ancestor also raised his hand, his Dao Domain layers stacking up, clearly reaching the Eternal Dao Domain as well.
In his Dao Domain, stars flicker and all things grow, occasionally transforming into a dazzling, hazy orange-red divine aura, akin to the primordial light that shone when Heaven and Earth first parted.
Their Eternal Dao Domains erupted, colliding with each other, each drawing upon Heavenly Dao Power and aligning with their own Saint Paths to consume each other.
However, both had reached the same Ultimate Realm and had cultivated their Ultimate Limits to the Divine Blood stage.
The second Ultimate Limit, however, was a different story.
The God King, outside the Heaven and Earth Pulse, condensed a divine pulse, using his Divine Realm Saint Path to forcefully open a divine pulse that connected Heaven and Earth, attracting power from all directions. Its effect was extremely dominant, rivaling two Heaven and Earth Pulses.
The Primordial Ancestor, on the other hand, had the Pulse of All Things.
Within the Heaven and Earth Pulse, he reflected all things, planting Qi Veins that, when combined, exerted even greater power than the God King's divine pulse.
As they remained deadlocked, the Primordial Ancestor's momentum gradually gained the upper hand. The Pulse of All Things grew more profound and substantial, seemingly about to overwhelm the God King. Suddenly, the God King's aura erupted, reversing the situation in an instant.
"Ancestral Divine Pulse, bloodline is the path to the second Ultimate Limit!"
The God King's eyes were sharp. He had long experienced the terror of the Pulse of All Things and had already comprehended a way to counter it before this battle.
Using his bloodline as a guide and the Divine Race's offspring as the pulse, he achieved the Ancestral Divine Pulse, allowing him to draw power from the Divine Race at any time, integrating it into himself.
At that moment, the power within the Divine Race army outside the Void Rift began to flow out through their bloodlines, converging on the God King through a special channel. This Meridian Opening technique, similar to Extreme Dao Cultivation, was not only powerful but also extremely fast.
After all, he already had a vast number of offspring, forming a race of their own.
The Primordial Ancestor's expression changed slightly. He had cultivated for a long time and had a deep foundation, but he had to admit that the God King's talent was unparalleled, unmatched by any before or after him.
By establishing the Extreme Dao Cultivation system and now opening the second Ultimate Limit through bloodline, he had not only created formidable power but also made it easy to enter and cultivate quickly, bridging the gap in foundation accumulated over his long years.
To others, his opening of the Sage Realm and becoming the first Sage in Heaven and Earth, without any precedent to follow, marked him as a world-class genius.
But whenever he faced the God King, he felt a sense of his own dullness and mediocrity.
Boom!
The Primordial Ancestor's Dao Domain, infused with Saint Path power, transformed into an eternal Holy Palace. The hazy divine aura seemed to be the origin of all things, enveloping the God King.
The God King's Dao Domain also shifted, with Divine Fire sweeping through and End-Time power enveloping everything, causing it to wither and decay, bearing traces of the Laws of time.
As the two powers deadlocked again, the Ancestral Dragon Vein's power began to show its advantage, and the God King's Holy Palace gradually gained the upper hand.
"Hmph, bring out your Tai Cang Divine Seal."
The God King said coldly.
The Primordial Ancestor, seemingly willing to grant his wish, suddenly slapped a divine light from his palm.
The light spun and soared, expanding rapidly like a Minor World.
Boom!
The void trembled. It was a terrifying divine seal, but it contained the power of a world.
This was not just a borrowed sliver of power; it was truly a Minor World being suppressed!
The God King sneered and suddenly drew his sword. But just as he was about to strike, a cold, piercing light suddenly cut through.
This light was extremely sudden, piercing into his eternal Holy Palace as if through a special channel, moving without obstruction.
Bang!
The God King didn't have time to react, seemingly completely unprepared. The back of his formidable armor was pierced, and a cold aura enveloped him, freezing the Divine Flame on his body.
As the sword was pulled out, the God King's body shattered abruptly.
Behind the shattered body, a figure with white hair and white eyebrows appeared, his expression cold.
But before he could withdraw his hand, the God King's body suddenly reformed behind him, almost instantly returning to normal.
Just as the God King recovered, the Tai Cang Divine Seal came crashing down on him.
Bang!
The God King's body was enveloped by the Tai Cang Divine Seal, his entire Holy Palace shattered, and he was surrounded by a terrifying tribulation power.
The white-haired elder took the opportunity to raise his hand, and Restriction seals appeared in the air, aiming to lock the God King down again with the divine seal.
Outside the Void Rift, the distant Holy Capitals held their breath, watching intently.
The power occasionally shaking out from the rift was heart-stopping, capable of directly erasing a Sage with its primal force.
"Who will win between the God King and the Primordial Ancestor?"
"That God King is stronger than I thought. I assumed the Primordial Ancestor would easily deal with him, but it's turned into a prolonged battle."
"Have you never seen the great battle of the past? That is the God King, who established a clan in All Heavens, his authority unmatched. If not for the combined efforts of the Sages, he might not have fallen back then."
"That's right. This God King is terrifying. I doubt even the Heavenly Venerated Hao can compare."
Many Sages had already changed their tone when referring to the God King, his strength having convinced them. As they spoke, many looked toward Li Hao.
When they saw Ying Xiaoxiao beside Li Hao, many suddenly realized that the Star Sage, who had fought Li Hao, was likely dead!
Killing the Star Sage was more shocking than Li Hao destroying ten Xukong Holy Lands in a row. After all, the Star Sage was invincible below the Supreme Sage level.
While Li Hao also had that reputation, there was still a gap between them. Now, Li Hao was undoubtedly at the top tier!
"He's terrifying. He seems only one step away from becoming a Supreme Sage."
"Killing the Star Sage is something even the Feasting Saint and the Nether Saint might not achieve. I hear he's not even 30 years old. How did he cultivate so quickly?"
"Given time, his ascension to Supreme Sage is a certainty."
"If the Ancient Hall opens and there truly is an Immortal Deity path, he might have a chance to cultivate into an Immortal Deity in this lifetime!"
At this moment, the Sages looked at Li Hao with respect, no longer harboring any disdain or hostility.
Even those whose Holy Lands had been taken by Li Hao now had clearer expressions.
Amidst the murmurs, a vast power suddenly erupted from the Void Rift, and three figures soared out.
"Primordial Ancestor!"
"Isn't that Tianyuan Sage? I heard he cultivates the Creation Saint Dao!"
"He is the second disciple of the Primordial Ancestor, and he was just inside?"
"Such an intense battle, and he emerged unscathed. Could it be that he is also a Supreme Sage?"
Many changed their expressions, considering a terrifying possibility. Could the other one also be a Supreme Sage?
The aftereffects of such attacks would be hard to withstand if not a Supreme Sage.
However, if he were a Supreme Sage, then the Primordial Ancestor must be even more formidable.
Currently, no Supreme Sage in All Heavens has a master or successor.
The God King, his armor bloodied and his eyes filled with malice, said to the Primordial Ancestor, "I'll be waiting for you!"
With that, he turned and swung his cloak, enveloping everyone.
Seeing that Ying Xiaoxiao beside Li Hao was not affected by the cloak's laws, he gave her a cold glance before stepping into the Heaven and Earth rift. In a short breath, he vanished completely.
Primordial Ancestor's face was somber, and he remained silent, making no move to chase after the god king.
The other sages were taken aback. Were they really going to let the god king leave just like that?
If the god king survived, he would surely return with a vengeance. However, since Primordial Ancestor didn't make a move, the other sages sensed something amiss.
It seemed that Primordial Ancestor and the god king had reached some sort of agreement.
There was only one thing that the two most powerful figures in All Heavens could collaborate on.
Or, perhaps, only one reason that could make them stop.
Realizing this, everyone's gaze immediately fell on Li Hao.
When they saw Li Hao, they also noticed Ying Xiaoxiao standing beside him.
She was the Divine Maiden of the Divine Race!
Now that the god king and the Divine Race's army had retreated, only the Divine Maiden remained.
Some hostile gazes swept over Ying Xiaoxiao, causing her to frown slightly, but she showed no fear.
"Let's go. The banquet is over, and we should head back", Li Hao said to Ying Xiaoxiao.
As they were about to leave, Primordial Ancestor suddenly called out to Li Hao. After a moment of quiet observation, he smiled and said, "The Ancient Hall will open in a year. Be careful; some people don't want the Immortal Deity path to be opened and might cause you trouble."
"Understood."
Li Hao nodded.
Then, he took Ying Xiaoxiao and Old Feng's Incarnation and stepped into the Heaven and Earth rift, departing.
The sages exchanged glances. Since Primordial Ancestor didn't blame Li Hao, no one dared to stop him.
Star Holy Capital was no match for Li Hao, and apart from Primordial Ancestor's personal intervention, only the white-haired, white-browed Tianyuan Sage could have stopped him.
Xiao Tianyu's gaze was complex. He had thought that after Ascension, he would narrow the gap with Li Hao, but instead, the distance had grown even greater. Li Hao's improvement was almost divine, and he now seemed to approach the level of a Master.
After Li Hao left, the other sages also bid farewell to Primordial Ancestor one by one.
They knew that the next time they would meet would be at the Ancient Hall in a year.
A year was a short time for a sage, like a corner of a page flipping from today to tomorrow.
For Li Hao, a year was enough to accomplish many things.
Playing chess, fishing, comprehending, cooking...
Li Hao became increasingly engrossed in cooking, feeling that he was just a step away from a profound realization.
Apart from cooking, Li Hao continued to refine the Laws, and his Physical Body finally absorbed all the insights from the Ninth Rank Yudao, achieving Unity of Laws and Physical Body!
With the perfection of his Dao Bone and Divine Blood, Li Hao felt a subtle and indescribable sensation.
Having experienced the Ultimate Realm, Li Hao knew that this was the state of the Ultimate Realm.
He felt like an Incarnation of the Great Dao, unerasable, and the healing speed of Blood Drop Rebirth could also apply to this special state.
The Great Dao could not be destroyed, unless by an extremely terrifying power that could tear it apart, but not erase it.
With Blood Drop Rebirth, even if it were torn apart, it could heal in an instant!
Facing the chaos impact from the earlier battle between Primordial Ancestor and the god king, Li Hao was confident he could withstand it. In terms of survival techniques, he felt that he was on par with a Supreme Sage, and in some aspects, even stronger!
He named this Ultimate Realm "Dao Ancestor"!
Apart from Incarnation of the Great Dao, Li Hao had many other techniques, the most important of which was his ability to have a vague sense and communication with Heavenly Dao.
In other words, he could glimpse Heavenly Will, a capability only a Supreme Sage possessed!
