Chapter 391: Full Power, Supreme Sage Battle
"I had planned to explore the Immortal Path first and deal with you later. I didn't expect you to fall into my trap. This must be what the Buddhist Sect calls fate!"
The Supreme Sage laughed heartily, his figure darting swiftly through the Heavenly Rift, chasing after Li Hao.
They covered vast distances in mere moments. The passage was extremely long, and at its end stood a towering mountain, its peak shrouded in thunderclouds, with silver lightning bolts frequently striking down.
As Li Hao arrived, he felt an oppressive, heart-pounding sensation, as if a flood or a beast lay ahead. Before he could pause, the lightning on the mountain seemed to be drawn to him, striking down at his body.
This lightning contained terrifying tribulation power, as if forcing him to undergo a heavenly tribulation. Additionally, it carried formidable Laws of Origin, like the will of the heavens.
Li Hao sensed a formidable presence atop the mountain, but he had no time to linger. He ran headlong into the lightning.
The lightning enveloped him, and he bathed in the thunderous tribulation, yet his physical body was like a slippery eel, unaffected by the lightning, and the tribulation power could not penetrate him.
He had refined his physical body with the All Heavens Laws, achieving the Dao Ancestor's Ultimate Realm, making him impervious to all Dao. Now, he effortlessly passed through the thunderfire, which felt like a gentle breeze on his face, leaving him unharmed.
"Hmm?"
The Supreme Sage, who was pursuing him, immediately recognized the terrifying power of the thunderfire. Seeing that Li Hao had passed through it unimpeded, his expression changed. The power of this Flesh Pill was more than he had anticipated.
Even crossing the Three Calamities would be a struggle, and his eyes narrowed, then grew even more intense.
The stronger, the better!
"That is... an Immortal Deity phantom?"
Despite his excitement, the Supreme Sage did not act rashly. He felt an unsettling aura from the mountain top. His divine sense quickly scanned the area and saw a faint, ethereal figure sitting there.
The figure seemed to be cultivating, absorbing the power of the sun, moon, and stars, surrounded by the Great Dao. The thunderfire was a manifestation of its Dao resonance, reaching its peak intensity.
With just one glance, the Supreme Sage understood the situation, feeling a sense of awe.
In the ancient Barbaric Age, he had once witnessed a trace of immortality, but it was not as clear as what he saw now.
If he had not reached the Supreme Sage realm, he might have mistaken the phantom for the Immortal Deity's true self. The presence was so powerful that even the residual phantom made his hair stand on end, surpassing the pressure of facing a Primordial Ancestor.
"On this mountain, an Immortal Deity once cultivated... Time has imprinted its figure here, or perhaps the surrounding Heaven and Earth Dao resonance still habitually gathers, following its cultivation. How powerful must it have been to leave such a mark on the very fabric of the world!"
The Supreme Sage was deeply shaken. Even a Supreme Sage would eventually fade with time, only able to borrow strength from the Heavenly Dao, while an Immortal Deity seemed to be the sovereign of Heaven and Earth.
After a brief moment of awe, his eyes grew even more intense. He now understood the Primordial Ancestor's intense desire for immortality.
Only by experiencing it could one understand the madness-inducing power!
"Die!"
The Supreme Sage no longer played games. This place was far from the Dragon Saint, so he revealed his true form, a black horn extending from his head, and his dark, deep shell splitting open, suddenly shifting the very fabric of the world.
Like a great roc taking flight, his massive form cast a shadow, enveloping Li Hao.
The thunderfire surrounded his body but caused no harm, being repelled by the terrifying aura emanating from his physical body.
With a loud thud, as Li Hao unleashed the Saint Path, in an instant, all things between Heaven and Earth seemed to transform into his fists and feet, a vast power suppressing from the void.
The rumbling shockwave sounded like ten thousand mountains crashing down, and Li Hao felt the air tightening around him like an invisible hand.
Eternal Dao Domain, activate!
He suddenly erupted, his Dao Domain layering upon layer, instantly becoming eternal. Countless sword shadows surged out like a tidal wave, slicing the void into millions of sword shadows!
The void, solid as iron, suddenly split, and the oppressive power within it also diminished.
Li Hao showed no mercy, activating the Fatal Attribute. Although he didn't know if it would affect the Supreme Sage, it would certainly add some power.
Kill!
As Li Hao fled, he urged the sword shadows to surge out of the Dao Domain, charging toward the Supreme Sage like a Silver Dragon Sword Tide, roaring through the sky.
He was on edge, this seemingly furious attack was actually of utmost importance.
In their first clash, if the opponent was careless and decided to clash with the Sword Qi, with the sheer number of the Sword Tide, it would definitely trigger!
With a bang!
As the Sword Tide surged out, the Supreme Sage let out a cold snort, seeing the seams of his domain being broken. He raised his front limb and slowly pressed down on the void.
The Sword Tide, crushed under the immense force like a boulder, shattered, but the broken sword light still surged toward the Supreme Sage under Li Hao's control, like fragments of debris.
The Supreme Sage showed no intention of blocking, only looking at Li Hao with indifference, as if he were a mere ant in his palm.
A cracking sound rang out, and Li Hao's bones were compressed by the vast power, as if they were about to shatter. However, his eyes remained fixed on the shattered Sword Tide.
Even the broken sword light, if it could just touch him...
As the sword light danced and approached the Supreme Sage, a power akin to a rigid force suddenly emerged, blocking all the sword shadows and completely shattering them.
Li Hao's face changed, shock evident in his eyes. Was this Dao Rigid Force?
"You don't even have the qualifications to injure me."
Seeing Li Hao's expression, the Supreme Sage sneered slightly. "My physical body has ascended, having consumed countless ancient fierce birds and dragon breeds, refining my path with blood and qi, and refining Dao into rigid force. They all know that among all the heavens, my physical body is the strongest, but they don't know just how strong it is. Apart from the Primordial Ancestor's Imperial Weapon, the Imperial Weapons that can injure me can be counted on one hand!"
As he spoke, the Sword Qi shattered, and Li Hao also braced himself to withstand the Supreme Sage's attack.
His Eternal Dao Domain seemed on the verge of collapse, squeezed to the point of bursting, but as the Ultimate Realm powers emerged, it gradually stabilized.
Divine Power, Heaven-Earth Meridian, spirit essence combustion!
In the blink of an eye, Li Hao's Ultimate Realm powers all erupted, and he also entered the Transcendental State. There was nothing to hide, it was all out in the open.
With his hair turning silver, Li Hao's aura suddenly increased tenfold, seemingly merging with Heaven and Earth.
"The Sixth Extreme Realm, indeed mysterious..."
The Supreme Sage, seeing Li Hao's aura, which was completely different from before, resembled the ancient and ethereal feeling of the Immortal Deity phantom on the mountaintop, a trace of Divine Immortal Power.
As an ancient Supreme Sage, he had long delved deeply into the Ultimate Realm, knowing that the state it brought could be a certain ability from a higher Martial Dao realm, perhaps even surpassing it.
Just like the Netherwast Teleportation, which transcended the Fourth Establishment Realm's Dao Resonance instant movement.
"Once you're in my stomach, I'll refine your Soul Spirit, strip your soul, and draw out your essence. I'll see just why the Sixth Extreme Realm is so difficult to cultivate!"
Supreme Sage showed no mercy, raising his hand to directly condense the Saint Path, suppressing Li Hao with an overwhelmingly powerful move.
He employed the means of a Supreme Sage, borrowing a fraction of Heavenly Dao Power. The thunderfire on this ancient, towering mountain seemed to be extinguished, blown apart by his might.
Li Hao raised his head, his face cold as ice. The Achievement instantly landed in his palm, and he slashed out with a single sword strike.
This was their first serious confrontation. The Unique Self Sword Technique, infused with Divine Guide, illuminated the entire ancient mountain, as if severing the fabric of time and space.
Bang!
Sword Qi stretched for three thousand miles, and the sword light was as brilliant as a galaxy.
However, the massive claw pressed down mercilessly. The Saint Path itself was an extremely terrifying force, the essence of all things, pointing directly to the origin of the Great Dao, rivaling the very source of creation.
After all, the origin of all things cannot exist without the influence of force.
Coupled with his similarly ascended physical body, it was comparable to a Sixth Tribulation Imperial Weapon. The world-shaking sword strike landed on the claw, yet it remained unscathed!
Li Hao’s expression changed slightly. This sword strike was enough to kill the Three Calamities Sage ten times over, yet it couldn’t break through Supreme Sage’s defenses.
Seeing Li Hao’s expression, the sneer on Supreme Sage’s lips grew even wider, and the claw descended with lightning speed.
Li Hao’s figure flickered, trying to Return to the Abyss to dodge, but the Heavenly Rifts around him suddenly sealed, filled with a powerful force.
Bang!
Li Hao’s body was slammed violently into the mountain, creating a massive, deep crater.
Supreme Sage raised his hand, and the crater was enveloped by a force, drawing Li Hao out with a speed like lightning, using that force to swing his second sword strike.
This strike was ten times more brilliant than the previous one, its light dazzling, as if it could split the entire ancient mountain!
"Hmm?"
Supreme Sage was taken aback, his eyes widening in surprise. The power Li Hao had unleashed far exceeded what he had shown earlier. Even then, Li Hao’s power had been second only to Supreme Sage’s, and now it had somehow increased?
He saw Li Hao’s entire body radiating with the Ultimate Realm, all eight Ultimate Realms erupting. He should have already been fighting at his full strength.
With a resounding bang, the sword light tore through the void, arriving in an instant and striking Supreme Sage’s front limb. The terrifying force shattered his domain and flipped the claw over.
Supreme Sage paused, looking at Li Hao with a mixture of surprise and curiosity.
At this moment, Li Hao’s body was aglow, surrounded by the Great Dao. The Heavenly Stars Vein clearly emerged behind him, as if the shadows of countless stars were reflected and radiating their essence power, enhancing Li Hao.
The Heaven-Earth Meridian contracted like a hurricane, appearing insignificant and dim compared to the Heavenly Stars Vein.
"This is... the realm after the Heaven-Earth Meridian Ultimate Realm?"
Supreme Sage was stunned. He had cultivated the Divine Blood Ultimate Limit, reaching the peak of his physical body, and was also exploring the realms beyond the Ultimate Realms.
But the Ultimate Limit was not as simple as the Ultimate Realms. Apart from the Divine Blood Ultimate Limit, the Heaven-Earth Meridian Ultimate Realm, he had chosen the path of force meridians.
He had established three major force meridians but still hadn’t touched the Ultimate Limit.
And the Li Hao before him was clearly another path, one that seemed even more formidable than his force meridians?
Could it be that his path to the Ultimate Limit was wrong?
Numerous thoughts flashed through his mind, and the killing intent in Supreme Sage’s eyes intensified. At this moment, he felt a chilling sense of dread from Li Hao.
To cultivate to this level before the age of thirty, to open the Martial Dao’s eight Ultimate Realms, and to break through the second Ultimate Realm, exploring the path to the Ultimate Limit, this was almost monstrous, beyond human.
The legendary Immortal Deity might not even be this astonishing!
"Give you a bit of time to grow, and you've grown far too exaggerated."
The Supreme Sage's face darkened, suddenly feeling fortunate that he had encountered Li Hao now. If Li Hao were to cultivate to the Three Calamities Realm, he might not be able to kill him, even though this thought seemed inconceivable. Now, however, he didn't find it the least bit exaggerated.
Without hesitation, the Supreme Sage unleashed his True Energy. A terrifying light emanated from the pitch-black horn on his forehead, as if it had transformed into a fearsome, curved battle blade.
An ancient, barbaric aura spread from the horn. As the light grew increasingly intense, it suddenly cleaved toward Li Hao.
In its wake, the void split open, revealing a dark void.
This scene resembled a battle between a Primordial Ancestor and a god king, tearing the void apart.
Li Hao's face was icy cold. With no way out, he had no choice but to fight to the death. His Body Movement Techniques were not enough to escape, so he could only hope that the Fatal Attribute would trigger and severely wound the Supreme Sage.
"Star Lord!"
After revealing the true form of his Heavenly Stars Vein, Li Hao entered the second Ultimate Limit state. The 1,464 stars in his Dao Domain erupted with ultimate light.
The light converged, enveloping his entire body. In an instant, it seemed as though the power of the starry heavens poured into Li Hao's body.
Even with the Ancient Hall between them, the light still penetrated through.
Bathed in starlight, the stars embraced him, exuding a vast and transcendent aura, deep as the ocean. As he raised his hand, a dark trace appeared in the void.
Li Hao lifted his sword again. The Achievement, sensing the immense power from the hilt, hummed excitedly. The sword blade then emitted a blade of light hundreds of feet long, as if he were wielding a sword of thunder and light.
Slash!
Li Hao poured the power of the Heavenly Stars Vein into his Saint Path, swinging the sword in a dazzling, ultimate strike.
Divine Guide!
With a loud boom, the entire ancient mountain shook violently. A terrifying shockwave tore through the void, the power instantly dissipating into the dark emptiness, and the sound of the impact faded away.
A long, black fissure sliced through the void. Li Hao's body trembled, and he was sent flying backward, crashing into the ground, but he only felt a slight jolt.
Bathed in starlight, the power he had expended was quickly replenished, restoring him to his peak state.
The Supreme Sage, however, stared at this scene in disbelief. He had used his full strength, yet the result was a draw with Li Hao?
That single strike had the power of a Supreme Sage, far surpassing that of a Three Calamities Sage. Even Star Sages and Nether Saints, the pinnacle Three Calamities Sages, fell far short.
This was truly the power of a Supreme Sage.
"You..."
The Supreme Sage was momentarily dazed. The young man before him exuded the aura of only one calamity, with very weak tribulation power, yet he had unleashed power on the level of a Supreme Sage?
Seeing Li Hao's aura return to its peak, the Supreme Sage snapped back to reality. His face was so dark it could almost drip with water. The light on the horn atop his head became several times more intense, almost a full-power eruption.
"Die!!"
He suddenly cleaved with his horn, channeling the Saint Path to draw all the energy between Heaven and Earth, transforming it into his power.
Li Hao also unleashed even greater power, extending his consciousness to the heavens and earth, faintly sensing a thread of Heavenly Sovereign Will.
He tried to merge his consciousness with it, and his aura instantly became tinged with it, giving him a firmer grasp on the power of Heaven and Earth.
He could even perceive how the other side was siphoning the surrounding power of Heaven and Earth, like a whale drawing water, but this speed was still too slow.
Using the Heavenly Sovereign Will, he directly commanded the power of Heaven and Earth to act as his soldiers, instantly condensing and channeling it into his sword. With all his might, he swung the sword in a final, decisive strike.
