Chapter 395: Devouring the Supreme Sage (8K) (Part 1)
Entering the Dao of Cooking, Li Hao's definition of ingredients became much broader.
Although the battle saber, an Imperial Weapon, could also be considered an ingredient, Li Hao had no intention of burning it. Instead, he manipulated the Chaos Divine Fire, enveloping the Heavenly Saint's corpse. In an instant, the dead body was engulfed in flames, and the fat, bones, and blood inside were refined and cooked in the Chaos Divine Fire.
"What are you doing?!"
The Heavenly Saint's Soul Spirit, witnessing his physical body being burned, felt a sudden surge of fear. The flames rising between Heaven and Earth reminded him of the barbaric age, when he would flee in panic from forest fires.
Li Hao remained silent, fully activating the Heavenly Stars Vein to intensify the Chaos Divine Fire.
The Heavenly Saint roared in anger, sensing the threat of death. He hurriedly tried to merge his Divine Dynasty Physical Body with his Soul Spirit.
Soon, the corpse and Soul Spirit merged, and the pain from the physical body was transmitted to the Soul Spirit, restoring his senses.
During the merging, his physical body's regenerative abilities were activated. Despite the Chaos Divine Fire, the body began to regenerate slowly, thrashing and beating the flames.
However, the Chaos Divine Fire, born from the tiniest particles of Heaven and Earth, was omnipresent and unquenchable. When Li Hao gathered it, it revealed its terrifying power.
Li Hao smelled the aroma of roasting meat, feeling his appetite stir and his mouth water.
But the Heavenly Saint's struggles caused the Chaos Divine Fire to be shaken off, making it difficult to burn and cook him alive.
"Still not fast enough..."
Li Hao's eyes deepened, and his Soul Spirit rode the fragment, instantly slashing again.
With the recent insights from entering the Dao of Cooking, including techniques for preparing and handling ingredients, the fragment's blade cut faster and more precisely this time.
The blade of light, no less brilliant than Li Hao's Sword Dao, sliced through the Heavenly Saint's joints in an instant, separating his Soul Spirit from his physical body.
At the same time, the Chaos Divine Fire intensified, cooking even more fiercely.
"What kind of fire is this? You want to burn me to death?!"
The Heavenly Saint was shocked and furious, a rare fear rising in his eyes. He felt a sense of dread from this tiny human, sensing the shadow of death. He found it hard to believe, but the situation was slipping out of his control.
He knew he couldn't let Li Hao burn his physical body, or he might truly be destroyed by this mere Catastrophe Realm cultivator.
He tried to merge his Divine Dynasty Physical Body, but just as he established a connection, the blade of light slashed through again, severing the link.
The fragment danced like an aurora, swift as lightning, separating his physical body from his Soul Spirit.
The fragment's sharpness could cut not only the physical body but also the Soul Spirit.
"You!"
The Heavenly Saint roared in anger, his Soul Spirit repeatedly trying to merge but being cut off by Li Hao each time.
He watched helplessly as his physical body burned and contracted in the terrifying flames, emitting a strange, fragrant aroma. The Great Dao hidden in his physical body pores began to dissipate, forming visible wisps of smoke around his body.
His physical body, once dedicated to the path of sainthood, was now disintegrating under the cooking process!
What was once a physical body of sainthood was regressing, but the Saint Path fused into his body did not dissipate. Instead, it floated around his body.
Seeing this, Li Hao knew the cooking process had made the body "tender."
This made it more suitable for absorption.
Without a word, he wielded the fragment, continuously tearing and blocking the Heavenly Saint's Soul Spirit from approaching, while he himself lunged toward the other's physical body.
The Chaos Divine Fire spread out, and Li Hao pounced on the Huntian Sage's shattered demon body, tearing it apart.
The Huntian Sage's physical body was comparable to the finest heavenly and earthly treasures, surpassing even some divine herbs and fruits. His bones, blood, and demon armor were filled with immense, pure energy.
Li Hao wasted no time, tearing off the arm and devouring it with relish.
In his current Emulate Heaven and Earth form, his massive body ripped into the Huntian Sage's Physical Body, gnawing and feasting.
"You, you're mad!"
The Huntian Sage's Soul Spirit, witnessing this, eyes wide with horror, realized that Li Hao was actually eating him, treating him as nothing more than food!
He had come to hunt Li Hao, seeing Li Hao as the prime ingredient on the chopping block, ready to be plucked at any moment. But now, the tables had turned, and his Physical Body was being devoured by Li Hao!
"Since we are of the same origin, you are a Physical Body to Sainthood, and you need me. Eating me will greatly benefit you, and the same applies to me eating you!"
Li Hao spoke as he ate, his Soul Spirit faintly visible on his body, coldly staring at the Huntian Sage.
The Huntian Sage's Soul Spirit was enraged, his eyes bloodshot. He would rather his Physical Body be shattered than become a mere vessel for Li Hao. As a Supreme Sage, he had cultivated from the ancient times, enduring countless tribulations, rising to the pinnacle among Demons. Now, he was to be consumed by Li Hao as mere sustenance, a fate he could not bear!
"Primordial path, Nine Primordial Fissure!"
The Huntian Sage roared, his Soul Spirit suddenly erupting with terrifying divine power, capable of manipulating the void itself.
Soul Spirits do not have meridians, only pure Soul Spirit Power. At this moment, this power split into nine strands, intertwining and amplifying each other, greatly enhancing his Soul Spirit's might.
His Soul Spirit suddenly howled, charging toward the Physical Body.
Li Hao was taken aback; this seemed to be some secret art cultivated by Soul Spirits, capable of boosting Soul Spirit Power.
He quickly manipulated the fragments, slicing toward the Huntian Sage's Soul Spirit.
The Huntian Sage's Soul Spirit did not dodge, allowing the fragments to cut through him. Despite the surge in Soul Spirit Power, the fragments still sliced through him like paper. However, the severed parts of the Soul Spirit formed independently, piercing the Physical Body from different angles.
Li Hao's face changed, and he hastily grabbed the Heavenly Saint's Physical Body, moving it to a distance.
At the same time, the Heavenly Sovereign Will he had previously condensed let out a cold snort.
A Soul Spirit is a divine soul, a manifestation of spiritual energy, and the Heavenly Sovereign Will is the ultimate symbol of the spirit. Under this shock, the fragmented Soul Spirits paused, then resumed their charge toward Li Hao, their eyes filled with venom.
Li Hao activated his Eternal Dao Domain, using the fragments to continuously block and maintain his distance while he rapidly devoured the Physical Body.
As he consumed more of the Physical Body, Li Hao felt a burning sensation throughout his body, like a famished person drinking a rich meat broth, a refreshing sensation like rain on parched earth, with powerful energy coursing through him.
The more he ate, the faster he devoured, and the might of his Dao Domain grew.
"Stop!"
The Huntian Sage roared in fury, relentlessly pursuing. One of the Soul Spirits suddenly bypassed the fragments, darting into Li Hao's Dao Domain. Although its speed was impeded, it still swiftly penetrated the Physical Body.
The withered Physical Body, infused with the Soul Spirit, gradually regained vitality.
A light flickered in Li Hao's eyes. Instead of using the fragments to separate the Soul Spirit again, he directly bit into the part of the Physical Body where the Soul Spirit was hiding.
"You're courting death!"
The Huntian Sage roared, his Soul Spirit emerging from the Physical Body, transforming into a blade to slash at Li Hao's Soul Spirit.
Li Hao's Soul Spirit retreated into the Heavenly Sovereign Will. The battle saber swept past, touching the Heavenly Sovereign Will, and the Huntian Sage's pupils contracted. He felt his consciousness plummet into the vast expanse of Heaven and Earth, as if a majestic, unseen presence was watching over him from all directions.
"What is this…?"
Huntian Sage was momentarily dazed.
Li Hao seized the opportunity to use Soul Spirit Power to envelop Huntian Sage’s Soul Spirit, swiftly refining it while devouring the torn flesh and blood.
Due to the Soul Spirit, the pain from the Physical Body was transmitted, not just through the nerves but also on a mental level. It was a thousand times more terrifying than being flayed alive, impossible to block or avoid. It was a tearing pain that simultaneously consumed the Physical Body, the Saint Path, and the Soul Spirit.
Huntian Sage let out a blood-curdling scream, struggling desperately, but under Li Hao's relentless devouring, he was quickly annihilated.
The remaining Soul Spirits continued to pursue Li Hao.
Li Hao ignored them and focused on devouring.
After consuming Huntian Sage’s Soul Spirit, Li Hao felt his own Soul Spirit strengthen and improve.
Li Hao’s heart stirred. If he could advance further, he would reach the Spiritual Roaming Ultimate Realm!
However, he only felt a slight enhancement of his Soul Spirit, without any sense of breakthrough. Clearly, breaking through the Ultimate Realm bottleneck was not so easy.
As Huntian Sage’s Physical Body was increasingly consumed, the remaining body parts diminished, and his Physical Body disintegrated more quickly under the Chaos Divine Fire. The Great Dao continuously dissipated, and Li Hao swallowed it all.
These dispersed Great Dao, combined with the Physical Body, would fuse within Li Hao’s body, just like consuming a complete entity, and it was even easier to digest!
"Such soft and tender flesh; even if other Sages ate it, their Physical Bodies would likely be greatly enhanced, possibly even achieving physical body to sainthood!"
Li Hao thought to himself.
As he continued to absorb, Huntian Sage’s Physical Body was soon reduced to a tenth of its original size.
At this point, Li Hao exuded a terrifying aura, more formidable than the previous Huntian Sage. His Physical Body emitted a fearsome heat wave, and the mist within the heat wave was the manifestation of Great Dao.
His Dao Bones and Divine Blood were all strengthened and enhanced.
Li Hao had previously achieved physical body to sainthood, but he had only endured one calamity. Now, Li Hao felt that even if he had survived the Three Calamities, the improvement would not be as significant as this.
The saint dao power within his Physical Body grew stronger, and his body emitted a unique fragrance. The Great Dao Surrounding made each pore seem like a vast passage, filled with boundless power and might.
Li Hao suddenly stopped, noticing the remaining Huntian Sage Soul Spirits still pursuing him. He detected that one of them had fallen behind during the chase and was now stealthily fleeing in another direction.
Clearly, despite his earlier ultimate anger, Huntian Sage had still left himself a way out, and his anger had not clouded his judgment.
Li Hao sneered slightly, lifting his hand as if he could crush the void.
"Suppress!"
Li Hao’s palm rose and clenched tightly.
A black vortex appeared in his palm, shattering space and generating a pulling force that distorted the surrounding void.
The pursuing Huntian Sage Soul Spirits stared at Li Hao in shock and fury, their eyes filled with rage and unwillingness.
They had actually been devoured by Li Hao, serving as a stepping stone for his advancement.
With a loud pop, several Soul Spirits exploded. Without a Physical Body, their Soul Spirit power lacked many of the Ultimate Realm’s abilities, making them no match for Li Hao.
If Li Hao had not reached the Soul Spirit Extreme Realm, the Huntian Sage could have transformed his Soul Spirit into a blade to directly slay Li Hao’s Divine Soul, thereby usurping his Physical Body. However, Li Hao’s Soul Spirit was not weaker, and with the protection of Heavenly Sovereign Will, it could not be destroyed.
"Primordial Ancestor will know of you, and he will kill you!"
Huntian Sage roared in anger.
Li Hao extinguished each of Huntian Sage’s Soul Spirits one by one, then looked at the Soul Spirit that was frantically fleeing in the distance. He sneered and stepped into the Netherwast Teleportation, swiftly chasing after it.
The fleeing Soul Spirit’s face changed drastically, but he did not look back as he rushed forward.
At this moment, he had no other concerns. He needed to find Dragon Saint or another Sage and reveal Li Hao’s cultivation secret of the Three Saints.
If this information reached the ears of other Supreme Sages, he believed that even if the Immortal God Path was discovered, the various Supreme Sages would unite against Li Hao, forcing him to meet the same fate as the God King.
After all, the Three Saints Unification concerns the Sage Ultimate Realm, a realm shrouded in the mists of legend.
Some have said that the Ultimate Realm reaches its peak at the Enlightened Realm, and beyond that, there is no Ultimate Realm.
Thus, the Sage Ultimate Realm became a legend, and the Three Saints Unification, which no one has ever managed to cultivate, has never been confirmed.
Now, Huntian Sage was certain that there is an Ultimate Realm for Sages, and the Three Saints Unification is the path to it. Otherwise, Li Hao, a mere First Calamity Saint, would have no chance of standing against him, let alone defeating him!
"Unfortunately, you won't have that chance!"
Li Hao's icy voice echoed, and at the same moment, Huntian Sage felt a blade approaching his back with blinding speed.
His pupils dilated in shock as he stared at Li Hao, who was far away, yet the blade reached him in an instant. Even with a Soul Spirit, this was beyond the range of Soul Spirit control.
Unless Li Hao had some Secret Art that could extend the range of Soul Spirit Object Control, but this was an extraordinary extension.
Moreover, the fragment approached silently, and he didn't even notice it.
Bang!
As he was stunned, a hidden Power suddenly appeared in front of him.
Huntian Sage was horrified and tried to dodge, but it was too late.
It was a line, an invisible line.
Swoosh!
The line sliced through Huntian Sage's Soul Spirit, and at the same time, the fragment approached and swiftly cut across, shattering Huntian Sage's Soul Spirit in an instant.
The shattered Soul Spirit fragments scattered in all directions.
But Li Hao took advantage of the situation and closed the distance, enveloping everything with his Dao Domain.
Under the Eternal Dao Domain, the severed Soul Spirit fragments were instantly frozen. With a wave of Li Hao's hand, they all flew to him.
Li Hao didn't waste any time. He released his Soul Spirit, absorbing all the Soul Spirit fragments.
Huntian Sage's angry roars and screams echoed in his ears but quickly faded away.
Li Hao scanned the area, ensuring nothing was left behind, before turning his attention to the remaining Heavenly Saint body.
The place was perilous, and Li Hao had no intention of lingering to savor the moment. He quickly refined and absorbed the demonic body.
With Huntian Sage's remaining physical body consumed, Li Hao finally relaxed, checking the area once more to confirm nothing was left behind. He then gradually reined in his Power, and the various Ultimate Realm Powers quietly dissipated.
"This Huntian Sage should be dead..."
Li Hao's eyes flickered. Given the example of the Star Sage, he couldn't be certain if the other party had any special treasures that might leave a spark of life.
