Chapter 394: Three Saints Revealed, Chaos Divine Fire
Whoosh!
Huntian Sage, seething with rage, dashed forward. It was pointless to waste time with Li Hao here. If he were to drag this out until Primordial Ancestor and the others arrived, they would certainly ruin his plans. They would undoubtedly guess that he was consuming Li Hao to advance to the Physical Body Divine Realm, and Primordial Ancestor would never tolerate the birth of a second god king.
He sprinted at full speed, quickly leaving Li Hao behind.
In terms of Body Movement Techniques, he was nearing the Sacrificial Dao, far surpassing Li Hao.
Seeing Huntian Sage getting farther and farther away, Li Hao's expression changed. He hadn't expected the other party to be able to endure this. If Huntian Sage joined forces with Dragon Saint, Li Hao would be the one forced to flee.
"Right, I still have the human tribulation to face!"
Li Hao suddenly remembered that, in the Three Saints' Minor Ultimate Realm, he had only undergone the Sacrificial Dao human tribulation. He still needed to face the Incense Human Tribulation and the Ultimate Human Tribulation.
Boom!
He quickly broke free from the Shackles of the Incense Human Tribulation, and a certain Power seemed to be released.
Li Hao felt a sense of relief, but also a foreboding feeling, as if a disaster was about to descend.
When the Shackles were broken, the Heavenly Dao would bring down a calamity.
The calamity of the human tribulation often involved unexpected and lethal human tribulations.
Huntian Sage, who was fleeing at high speed ahead, suddenly had a thought:
"He has humiliated me so much. If I don't kill him, I am unworthy of being a Supreme Sage!"
This thought made him want to stop and turn around immediately, ready to battle Li Hao for another three hundred rounds.
But then he sensed something was amiss, his emotions seemed to be agitated.
Despite his extreme anger, he noticed this agitation and his expression changed. What was happening?
The only thing that could interfere with a Supreme Sage's thoughts was the Heavenly Dao. Could it be that the Heavenly Dao's Power was affecting him?
This feeling was like someone nearby was undergoing a human tribulation!
He immediately thought of Li Hao behind him, but quickly dismissed it. Li Hao had already undergone the human tribulation, and there was a clear influence of Heavenly Dao Power at that time. Li Hao had publicly completed the human tribulation, so it was impossible for him to undergo it again.
Maybe I'm overthinking it... Huntian Sage's eyes flickered. He didn't dwell on it, suppressing his anger and continuing to dash forward. As long as he found Dragon Saint and joined forces with him, with their relationship, Dragon Saint would likely be willing to help. If not, he had other ways to persuade him.
"Hmm?"
Li Hao noticed Huntian Sage slightly slowing down and continued to dash forward, his expression changing.
The influence of the human tribulation hadn't stirred up the other party's murderous intent?
"I've heard that other Supreme Sages, when undergoing the human tribulation, would seek out a secluded and desolate place. However, under the influence of Heavenly Dao Power, others would still be drawn from afar, leading to unexpected encounters and triggering the tribulation. Another way to avoid the tribulation is to find a secluded place and have other Sages guard the surroundings. Even if someone approaches, they would be stopped, and the tribulation would be endured on behalf of the one undergoing it."
Li Hao's eyes flickered.
This was why Sages established Holy Lands or joined other Holy Lands.
When undergoing the human tribulation, the Holy Land's great array would activate, greatly increasing the chances of successfully enduring the tribulation.
But his situation was different. He hoped that the Power of the human tribulation would affect Huntian Sage.
Using the human tribulation as bait, but the fat fish in front of him refused to take the hook.
Bait... Li Hao's eyes flickered. Yes, why hadn't he thought of it? Huntian Sage... could also be fished.
Supreme Sage or not, in the face of fishing, all heavens are prey.
In an instant, Li Hao's Fishing Mindset broke through the eighth rank, ascending to the Ninth Rank, and he felt a faint sensation of Entering the Dao.
"Are you not curious how I teleported here earlier?"
Li Hao suddenly called out to Huntian Sage.
Huntian Sage's eyes flickered. Li Hao's sudden appearance had indeed startled him, with no warning. But in the heat of the chase and the subsequent battles, he had temporarily pushed it aside. Now, reminded by Li Hao, his eyes darkened.
"I was directly transported here by the Ancient Hall Statue. That statue is the master of the Ancient Hall, and he brought me here, perhaps as a form of guidance. There are three paths, and this might be the only one leading to the Immortal God Path. Tell me, if I reveal the secrets of the Immortal God Path to the Dragon Saint in exchange, would he still be willing to cooperate with you?"
Li Hao saw through his intention to find the Dragon Saint and team up to kill him, and he laid it out plainly.
Huntian Sage's expression changed slightly, his mind racing. What Li Hao said was highly credible.
Otherwise, the sudden teleportation, which he didn't sense at all, would be impossible even with Netherwast Teleportation.
Only the terrifying Divine Immortal Power within the Ancient Hall could achieve such a feat!
There were three paths. They had previously chosen the middle one, avoiding the paths with the Primordial Ancestor and the god king's aura. Could it be that they accidentally chose the right one?
The Immortal God Path... Huntian Sage's figure slowly stopped, and he turned to stare coldly at Li Hao.
"You're telling me this because you want to cooperate with me? It's not impossible for me to spare your life."
Li Hao sneered inwardly. The other party had finally stopped. He had considered feigning weakness or fleeing, but quickly dismissed these tactics, as they would be easily seen through by a Supreme Sage.
During their idle chats while fishing, Lying Heaven Sage had once told him that the highest realm of deception was to tell the truth.
And the truth doesn't always mean the truth.
"Spare my life? You're thinking too much. I just want to tell you that if you seek the Dragon Saint, the outcome won't be as you wish. I simply don't want things to get complicated."
Li Hao said again.
If he went along with the other party's suggestion and tried to cooperate, discussing only benefits and not past grievances, even if he spent a lot of time talking, the other party wouldn't believe him. It would be pointless.
"Is that so?"
Huntian Sage's face turned icy cold. "You're telling me this just to stop me from finding the Dragon Saint? You think you can make me give up by yourself? Do you believe you can defeat me in a one-on-one fight?!"
"Or what?"
Li Hao showed a fearless demeanor. "You're a Supreme Sage, but you seem no more than that. If you could kill me, why would you need to beg the Dragon Saint for help? I didn't think I was this strong until I faced you."
Huntian Sage's breathing became heavy, and his claws creaked. Li Hao's words were infuriating.
"I was planning to hold back to deal with the Primordial Ancestor and the god king. You actually think I can't kill you? You are too foolish!"
Huntian Sage's eyes were filled with a cold and brutal glare. "You shouldn't have provoked me. Do you know what abilities a Sacrificial Dao reaches at the Three Calamities stage? Why is the Sacrificial Dao to Sagehood the most difficult? Because the Sacrificial Dao to Sagehood is the strongest!!"
As he spoke, a crimson-golden Divine Flame erupted from his body. The armor on his body burned with the heat of Divine Blood, and inside, a seven-color aura swirled, his aura rising beyond its previous peak, continuing to grow stronger.
Li Hao was taken aback, his face slightly changing.
He sensed that Huntian Sage was doing something insane.
"What is the Sacrificial Dao... Cultivating to the ultimate level, sacrificing to the Heavenly Dao, and nourishing Heaven and Earth, you will receive the Heavenly Dao Power bestowed by the Heavenly Dao!"
"That is true Heavenly Dao Power, not just a sliver of its reflection!"
Huntian Sage's voice was cold and slow. His physical body was cracking and expanding. He was a physical body to sainthood, and by sacrificing his Flesh Dao to the Heavenly Dao, an overwhelming and supreme Heavenly Dao Power was emanating from his body!
This power froze the surrounding time, stilled the raging winds, and made it seem as if Heaven and Earth were under his control, surging with his wrath and freezing with his coldness.
"Once I devour you, I can recover, but doing so would be meaningless. It would be as if I hadn't eaten you at all. But you've provoked me!"
Huntian Sage's battle saber suddenly radiated an overwhelming aura, the tribulation power flaring like a blade's edge, compressing the air to produce a cacophony of thunder and lightning.
Li Hao's face turned grim. The opponent was using a self-destructive method to kill the enemy—this was their true trump card.
"Die!"
Huntian Sage wasted no more words, swinging his saber with a ferocious strike that pierced through Heaven and Earth, its power ten times greater than before!
The previous attack had been terrifying enough, but now, with this immense surge, it was capable of shattering Li Hao's Eternal Dao in the blink of an eye, tearing apart his physical body, and disintegrating his Dao body!
The power was overwhelming, causing cold sweat to drench Li Hao's body. However, he did not retreat or regret his decision. He knew this was a fight to the death—either the Supreme Sage would die, or he would.
"Heavenly Dao, let's see whose Heavenly Dao is stronger!"
Li Hao's eyes flashed with fierce determination, emitting a chilling light. The hidden saint dao powers of Incense and Extreme Dao erupted simultaneously within him.
This power merged with his physical body, blending with the Sacrificial Dao power. The Heavenly Dao power that had been cultivated in his dantian surged through his entire body, as if merging with him, becoming one.
"Emulate Heaven and Earth!!"
At that moment, Li Hao no longer held back. All three saint powers were revealed, and there was no need to hide any other means.
With the eruption of Emulate Heaven and Earth, his physical body was fully unleashed, its size expanding dramatically, becoming towering and majestic, his feet large enough to crush hills.
The moment Emulate Heaven and Earth was unleashed, the Heaven and Earth Dharma Image appeared behind Li Hao, quickly merging with his body. A vast, overwhelming aura seemed to overturn everything, causing the ancient mountains around him to tremble!
"Hm?!"
Huntian Sage's blood-red, cold eyes narrowed sharply, a hint of clarity appearing in them.
This brat still had hidden power?!
Three saint paths... three saint paths?!
Huntian Sage's eyes widened in shock, disbelief, and astonishment.
Throughout the All Heavens, over countless ages, numerous sages had explored and fallen, yet none had ever managed to merge three saint dao images.
Even the Primordial Ancestor had failed to achieve this.
But now, this miracle was unfolding before him, in the body of this monstrous young man.
He suddenly recalled the fleeting moment of agitation he had felt earlier, and his mind was struck by a thunderous realization.
That was the second saint path's human tribulation, used to draw him back!
Living for countless ages, he had never seen anyone use human tribulation to lure an enemy.
Other sages avoided and carefully guarded against tribulations, but Li Hao had used this tribulation as a means to kill his enemy!
"Where did you come from, monster? Are you a reincarnation of an Immortal Deity...?"
Huntian Sage murmured.
The ultimate strike of the Sacrificial Dao sliced through the air, countless tribulation powers raining down like thunder, enveloping Li Hao.
But in an instant, Li Hao swung the ancient Divine Guide.
This sword technique had three realms: Intent, Origin, and Ultimate.
Li Hao had previously been at the Intent level, but now, he revealed a hint of the Origin realm, his Sword Intent reaching the very essence, as if a true Immortal Deity had descended.
This was entirely driven by the boundless power, with the fusion of the three saint powers and the Heavenly Dao power, pushing him closer to Transcendence. The Heavenly Sovereign Will, which he had previously only glimpsed, now felt incredibly close. He could sense the Heavenly Dao and control the Heavenly Dao power within him, his will subtly aligning with the Celestial Sovereign's will.
The Celestial Sovereign, the revered one of Heavenly Dao, could command Heaven and Earth, controlling all things.
Such a realm and power were unimaginable.
With a resounding boom, the heavenly tribulation power shattered.
If Huntian Sage was using the Sacrificial Dao to borrow true Heavenly Dao power, then Li Hao was controlling the nascent Heavenly Dao he had cultivated within himself.
Although Heavenly Saint borrowed the Heavenly Dao that had existed in the Land of Sages for countless ages, he ultimately only borrowed a small portion of its power. This was still far from the level of control Li Hao had over the Heavenly Dao Power.
The sword light sliced through, shaking off the Six Tribulations Imperial Weapon and directly splitting Huntian Sage's body into two halves.
At this moment, under the form of Emulate Heaven and Earth, Li Hao's body was no smaller than that of Heavenly Saint, like an ancient deity battling an ancient demon.
The moment the sword light split Heavenly Saint, Li Hao saw the wound rapidly healing.
He now had the power to defeat his opponent, but unfortunately, he still lacked the means to kill him.
The vitality of a Supreme Sage was too resilient. Even if defeated, they could not be killed.
Unless one forged a Seven Tribulations Imperial Weapon like the Primordial Ancestor, there was no way to pose a real threat to other Supreme Sages.
That god king, even when besieged by numerous Supreme Sages, never fell; he could only be sealed. Although he had reached the Divine Realm, it still demonstrated the formidable vitality of a Supreme Sage.
"You, this monster, you've even found the path of three saints merging and the Second Ultimate Realm... You're dead for sure. As soon as I spread this news, you will die!"
Heavenly Saint's body was healing, and his face twisted in rage.
In direct combat, he was already no match for Li Hao. Although he couldn't be killed, this humiliation drove him to madness.
"You won't have the chance."
Li Hao said coldly.
He put away his achievement, and with a wave of his hand, the fragment glowed and shot out.
In an instant, a streak of light flashed, and Heavenly Saint's body seemed to be stripped of its tendons and bones, becoming stiff.
What disappointed Li Hao was that his repeated attacks with the fragment had seemingly not triggered the fatal attribute. He wasn't sure if it was because the attribute was ineffective or if it had been triggered and resisted by his opponent.
However, he didn't rely too heavily on the fatal attribute. At this moment, his technique was based on the multiple cuts he had made earlier, finding a certain singularity in his opponent's body. It appeared as a single cut, but it separated the physical body from the soul spirit, breaking all the bone connections and turning the physical body into a lifeless corpse!
Li Hao didn't give him a chance to heal. With a wave of his hand, a deep and intense light appeared in his eyes.
"Heaven and Earth as the pot, all things as the firewood. The Dao is born from Heaven and Earth, and Heaven and Earth originated from Chaos... Chaos Divine Fire!"
A dull rumble seemed to echo through the void.
Then, flames began to burn.
Li Hao's Cooking Dao experience had long reached the Ninth Rank bottleneck, with his experience points maxed out.
Now, with his mindset broken, he took that step, advancing to the Tenth Rank in Cooking Dao!
Countless cooking messages flooded his mind, but Li Hao was immersed in the Cooking Dao mindset, using Heaven and Earth as the pot to stew this delicious ingredient!
There is Divine Fire in Heaven and Earth, but it is invisible to all beings. Heaven and Earth originated from Chaos, and the explosion of Chaos gave birth to all things.
The heat generated by the explosion and the power it brought forth is the Chaos Divine Fire.
Li Hao used his Culinary Dao Heart to glimpse the origin of the World-Realization, seeing this Chaos Divine Fire and mastering it.
As the Divine Fire burned, it instantly enveloped Heavenly Saint's body. The flames could consume everything. Even a Dao Tribulation Imperial Weapon, under the burning of the Chaos Divine Fire, quickly twisted and deformed, with the tribulation power on it dissipating!
Li Hao controlled the Chaos Divine Fire, avoiding the battle saber. Destroying this saber would be a pity.
However, a thought crossed his mind: this battle saber... could also be used as an ingredient.
Can't eat it? Can't bite through it?
That's not a problem with the food; it's a problem with the diner. Your stomach isn't up to it!
