Chapter 407: Ancient Demons Descend, the Saints Regret (110,000 Votes Requested) (Part 1)
In the Tianyuan Holy Land.
Within the Cave Mansion of the Primordial Ancestor, the saints gathered.
"Primordial Ancestor, Holy Infant has reached the Sixth Extreme Realm!"
One of the first sages to arrive said, his face brimming with excitement.
Here, the Law Saint, Fame Saint, Ink Saint, and other Supreme Sages were already present, their expressions calm, but their hearts were equally filled with excitement.
After so many years, the All Heavens finally had a second Sixth Extreme Realm cultivator!
The Immortal Path was no longer solely controlled by Li Hao.
During the previous Supreme Young Hero Battle, they had known a Sixth Extreme Realm cultivator would be born, and they had thought they could control it. But who would have thought that Li Hao would steadily improve, progressing at a divine speed, publicly sacrificing his Dao to achieve sagehood, and now, returning from the Immortal Path, even the Supreme Sages could not suppress him.
It was like a net that had been laid for ten thousand years, only to have a gap that allowed a big fish to slip through, and now, this big fish could turn around and devour them.
"Now, we no longer have to deal with that Heavenly Venerated Hao."
"What Heavenly Venerated Hao? He's just a treacherous little man, selfishly controlling the Immortal Path for his own gain, a disgrace to all sages!"
"Such a despicable person, who could have thought he would write a masterpiece like the Dao Scripture at the Dao Discussion Conference? It's simply unbelievable."
"How could he have the nerve to say, 'Only because I do not compete, no one in the world can compete with me'? Truly two-faced!"
As the saints gathered, their excitement and joy were overshadowed by their criticism of Li Hao. Their words were filled with more anger, and they no longer had to be cautious about Li Hao. They now had the qualifications to step onto the Immortal Path!
Once they entered the Immortal Path, even if their cultivation did not match Li Hao's divine speed, they were many in number. If they all became immortals, they could eventually suppress Li Hao by working together!
At the same time, they planned to inform the Immortal Deity whom Li Hao had apprenticed to about his despicable actions!
"Gentlemen, with Hao Tian possibly sensing something, we must act quickly and decisively, and swiftly step onto the Immortal God Path."
At this moment, the Supreme Sage of the Yin-Yang School calmly said.
The Supreme Sage of the Mo Family's eyes flickered. He remembered talking to that young man at the Dao Discussion Conference, and given his disciple's relationship with the Jiang Family, he had always had a favorable impression of the young man. However, this time, the young man had disappointed him.
However, he still harbored some doubts about Li Hao. But compared to the opportunity to become an Immortal Deity, he deeply wanted to see it with his own eyes.
"You're right, that boy is treacherous, and we must not let him ruin things."
"The Ancient Hall is now guarded by the Medicine Sage. She's so muddled, actually trusting that boy. What if she insists on blocking us?"
One sage said.
The Primordial Ancestor raised his hand slightly, signaling for everyone to quiet down. Now that the Holy Infant had achieved his goal, the Immortal Path was within reach, and this time, he would not let anyone ruin his plans.
"Currently, my Incarnation has opened the Immortal Gate and brought the Holy Infant over."
The Primordial Ancestor's expression was grave as he continued, "However, although the Holy Infant has reached the Peak of the Heavenly Human Realm, he is still only at the Three Eternities Realm and has not yet reached the Fourth Establishment Realm. He lacks a Heaven and Earth Space. We need to enhance his cultivation to the Fourth Establishment Realm so he can carry us into the Immortal Path."
"An old man here has a Divine Medicine that can rapidly increase cultivation below the Enlightened Realm, but it will lead to an unstable foundation."
An elderly sage stroked his beard and said.
The Primordial Ancestor nodded, knowing about the Divine Medicine in the old sage's possession. By saying this, he was also encouraging the old sage to offer it.
"That's fine. The purpose of creating the Holy Infant is to enter the Immortal God Path. An unstable foundation after that won't matter."
The Primordial Ancestor said.
The others all agreed.
Subsequently, the elderly sage
He retrieved the Divine Medicine, and soon after, a figure flew in from the distance, entering the Holy Land.
That figure was the Incarnation of the Primordial Ancestor. Upon arriving in the Holy Land, he transformed into specks of starlight and dissipated, leaving behind a young man who appeared graceful and handsome.
However, standing before the multitude of saints, the young man was clearly frightened, looking both anxious and nervous.
He had been cultivating when he was suddenly brought to this place, completely bewildered.
Yet, while the saints before him filled him with fear, he also felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if something within him resonated with them.
The saints all focused their gazes on the second Holy Infant, their eyes gleaming.
“Child, don’t be afraid,” the Primordial Ancestor smiled. He then took the Divine Medicine from the Sage elder and handed it to the Holy Infant.
Half an hour later, the saints followed the Primordial Ancestor and the god king to the Ancient Hall in the void.
This Ancient Hall was shrouded in mist, floating in the void, surrounded by a hazy glow of lightning, making it difficult to approach.
However, those present were all Sages, and they quickly stepped onto the steps leading to the Ancient Hall, enduring the Great Dao Laws on the steps, and entered the Ancient Hall.
“What are you doing here?”
At the entrance of the Ancient Hall, the Medicine Sage sat cross-legged. Her long, silk-like white gown billowed in the wind, and her hair gently fluttered. Under the starlight shining on the Ancient Hall, she appeared ethereal and transcendent.
Seeing the Primordial Ancestor and the god king, along with the saints behind them, the Medicine Sage frowned slightly, her expression changing.
“Medicine Sage, the second Holy Infant has already reached the Sixth Extreme Realm. Now, the one who has mastered the Ultimate Realm in All Heavens is no longer just the Heavenly Venerated Hao.”
The Primordial Ancestor looked at the Medicine Sage, his expression calm and composed. “The second Holy Infant’s constitution also contains a portion of your Power. Step aside, and let us tread the Immortal Path together!”
The Medicine Sage was taken aback and immediately sensed the presence of the second Holy Infant, who was not in the Mortal World but was hidden beside the Primordial Ancestor.
She knew that their grand arrival was not a bluff, and she couldn’t help but feel a slight stirring in her heart.
“Medicine Sage, do you really believe Li Hao’s one-sided words?”
The Fame Sage took a step forward, his voice cold.
The Medicine Sage remained silent. She didn’t fully trust Li Hao, but she believed him to a large extent, as she couldn’t think of any reason for him to deceive them.
“Step aside, the opportunity to become an immortal is right before you. Just let us pass.”
The Primordial Ancestor spoke again, his voice more urgent than usual, tinged with suppressed excitement.
The Law Sage softly said, “Medicine Sage, you alone cannot stop us. Don’t waste any more time.”
The Medicine Sage was silent. Indeed, she alone could not stand against the Primordial Ancestor and the god king. If she truly obstructed them, she would be in danger herself.
The Dragon Sage had been pursued by the god king and had not been seen since, disappearing without a trace. They had no chance to gather any information from him afterward.
“Ladies and gentlemen, if Hao Tian’s words are true, and breaking the Immortal Gate truly brings forth ancient demons, wouldn’t that bring catastrophe to All Heavens?”
The Medicine Sage gazed at the saints, her eyes firm.
“Don’t let Hao Tian’s words scare you. What ancient demons? Even if there were ancient demons, can’t we handle them together? One person could live there for over a decade; how strong could those ancient demons be?”
“Indeed, and if things go wrong, we can always return.”
The other Sages immediately chimed in.
“Just a quick look to verify. If it’s true, then so be it. If it’s false, we’ll miss the chance to become immortals!”
“Hao Tian only stayed there for twelve years and became so powerful. Don’t you feel the same allure?”
As the saints spoke, the Primordial Ancestor said to the Medicine Sage:
“Step aside, don’t waste any more time.”
The Medicine Sage saw the growing aura emanating from the Primordial Ancestor and the god king, remained silent for a moment, and then moved aside.
“If it is as he says, you must return quickly!”
The Medicine Sage said, her gaze firm.
But no one responded to her. As she moved aside, the Primordial Ancestor and the god king, along with the others, quickly rushed into the Ancient Hall.
The array set up by the Medicine Sage was effortlessly dispelled by the Primordial Ancestor with a wave of his hand.
He is the most ancient Sage in the realm of Cultivation. Over the vast expanse of time, he has faced numerous bottlenecks in his Cultivation, but he has had ample time to delve into and master various other disciplines, such as Alchemy, Artifact Refinement, and Array Formation, all of which he has cultivated to their peak levels.
Among all the Heavens, he excels not only in combat but also in other areas. However, these other skills do not contribute to enhancing his overall strength and power.
When it comes to being the most well-rounded, no one can surpass him.
As the Array disintegrated, the Primordial Ancestor and the others returned to the starry rift.
Swoosh!
The Primordial Ancestor raised his hand, and the Holy Infant flew out from his sleeve.
"Feel it out and see if you can enter that gap", the Primordial Ancestor said.
The Holy Infant nodded. At this moment, he felt no fear toward the other Sages; instead, he was extremely compliant.
Approaching the door, his hair quickly turned silver, and he gently touched the gate.
His physical body was decaying and tearing, the result of Transcending to Immortality. He had yet to condense the Three Eternities Apex, so if he were to achieve Ultimate Transcendence to Immortality, he could only maintain it for a very brief moment.
However, the Primordial Ancestor had already devised a solution: using the Divine Medicines he had accumulated to help heal the Holy Infant's physical body. Some of these Divine Medicines could briefly activate his body, enhancing his self-healing ability by a hundredfold, but at the cost of nearly half his lifespan!
As the Holy Infant's blood splattered and his skin ruptured, his appearance grew terrifying. Yet, his power grew increasingly robust, and a faint, ethereal power emerged.
Soon, the Holy Infant approached the edge of Ultimate Transcendence to Immortality. His hand seemed to dissolve, merging with Heaven and Earth, and he touched the gap on the gate.
However, the gap was blocked by a force that seemed to have solidified. In his current mist-like state, he could not break through it.
He tried several times but failed each time.
He had to withdraw from Transcendence to Immortality, and his injuries began to heal rapidly.
"The gap is blocked, and I can't break through it. You might need to destroy whatever is inside the gap", the Holy Infant said, turning to the Primordial Ancestor.
Hearing this, the Sages' faces changed, and someone immediately cursed.
"That Hao Tian is despicable; he truly sealed off the Immortal Path!"
"He won't let us in and even blocked the way. How malicious!"
The Primordial Ancestor and the God King exchanged a glance. The God King said, "I'll give it a try."
With that, he drew his sword and approached the gate, his gaze fixed on the pattern. He could faintly sense a weak aura emanating from there, likely the gap.
He suddenly drew his sword, and the power of the Extreme Dao Divine Realm erupted, enveloping him in black flames. He swiftly delivered a powerful strike.
Bang!
The Sword Qi enveloped and instantly cleaved the gate.
The aura at the gap was burned by the black flames, and it quickly weakened.
Li Hao had used a portion of his own flesh and blood to block the gap, but the amount was too small. Although it contained a trace of Immortal Power, it could not withstand the God King's attack in the Extreme Dao Divine Realm. Soon, a crack appeared.
As the black flames continued to burn, the gap was exposed.
However, even in this state, the gap was too small for the God King and the Primordial Ancestor to pass through, even if they transformed their bodies into blood.
"The thing is gone", the Holy Infant sensed the situation and immediately said.
The God King sheathed his sword, a hint of disdain in his eyes. Was this the best he could do?
Meanwhile, in the Cloud Mist World.
In a private room of a top-tier tavern, Li Hao, who was dining with Ji Xuanshen, Zhantan, and others, suddenly paused, his wine glass halted mid-air.
"Hmm?"
Night Ancestor looked at Li Hao with a puzzled expression.
Li Hao's face changed; he sensed that the portion of his flesh and blood he had used to block the gap had disappeared.
Could it be that the ancient demons on the ancient path have found the Mysterious Mother Gate?
His good mood vanished, and he immediately stood up. "There's trouble at the Immortal Path. I need to check it out. You all continue enjoying yourselves."
Without waiting for their responses, he vanished in a blur.
The others were taken aback, exchanging uncertain glances.
"Trouble at the Immortal Path?"
"I have a bad feeling about this."
Li Hao moved swiftly through the Heaven and Earth Rift, rushing toward the Ancient Hall at full speed. However, the Cloud Mist World was far from the Ancient Hall, spanning nearly half of All Heavens.
As Li Hao raced at full speed, in the Ancient Hall.
With the pattern gap broken, the Holy Infant once again Transcended to Immortality, trying to extend his body into the gap. He immediately succeeded.
"It works!"
The Holy Infant immediately said.
The Holy Capitals showed signs of delight, and the Primordial Ancestor heaved a sigh of relief, immediately stating, "The thing blocking the gap is Hao Tian's doing. He might sense it, so we need to act quickly."
The Holy Infant nodded, revealing the Heaven and Earth Space. The Holy Capitals didn't hesitate and quickly entered it.
They were all Sages, and even within the Holy Infant's Heaven and Earth Space, the other side couldn't harm them.
Soon, as the Sages entered the Heaven and Earth Space, the Holy Infant once again Transcended to Immortality and dove into the gap.
As he entered, the Medicine Sage arrived, standing before the crack and looking at the ancient gate in the starry sky, his brow furrowed with hesitation.
Soon, the Holy Infant entered the gap.
After a long, dark passage, light finally appeared ahead.
The Holy Infant, like Li Hao before him, leaped into the light, and his vision suddenly became clear.
But what appeared before him was an ugly, charred stone.
The Holy Infant was somewhat surprised, but the Sages within his Heaven and Earth Space could sense the situation outside and quickly emerged.
"Hmm?"
The Primordial Ancestor stepped out first, immediately feeling that this Heaven and Earth was vastly different from the Land of Sages.
A thick, immense Power enveloped the world, but he couldn't absorb or refine it.
No doubt, it was Immortal Power.
However, alongside this, a strange and malevolent aura surged, causing him to frown.
Before him were large chunks of stone, blocking the path ahead.
He didn't rashly destroy these stones but extended his Divine Sense, soon jumping in fright when he saw a figure meditating in a crevice between the stones—it was Li Hao!
"You..."
The Primordial Ancestor was about to be on guard but realized this was just Li Hao's Incarnation, not his True Form.
He slightly relaxed and then surveyed the surroundings.
Before him was a desolate canyon, not the idyllic, flower-filled, Mortal World paradise he had imagined.
This surprised him, but he thought, perhaps this was just the Immortal Path, not the immortal realm. Once they emerged from the canyon and reached the true Immortal God Realm, they would see the world's true appearance.
While the Primordial Ancestor surveyed the area, the other Sages also inspected their surroundings, all noticing the trace of Li Hao's Shadow Clone.
"Is this the Immortal Path?"
"It's different from what we imagined."
"So desolate, but the Power here is indeed different from our Holy Land. If we could absorb it, we might become Immortal Deities!"
"Our cultivation methods might not be able to refine this Power. We need to join an Immortal Sect."
The Holy Capitals whispered among themselves.
At this moment, Li Hao's Shadow Clone opened its eyes, sensing the unexpected visitors.
"This is the Heavenly Venerated Hao's Avatar? He's truly cunning, leaving an Avatar here to guard, probably to prevent other Immortal Deities from finding the exit to our world."
"Let's dispose of his Avatar and explore the area outside."
"Some of you, I feel something isn't right here. We should be cautious."
"Agreed."
Among the Sages, some who were extremely angry at Li Hao were ready to act, but others had already sensed something amiss.
The Primordial Ancestor didn't speak, nor did he intend to deal with Li Hao's Avatar. He simply walked toward the canyon.
But Li Hao's Shadow Clone flashed in front of him.
The Primordial Ancestor's face darkened. "Move aside."
The Shadow Clone didn't speak, only holding a broken sword, coldly watching him.
"Trying to block us? You're asking for death!"
One of the Sages, enraged by Li Hao's Avatar, attacked directly, slapping a palm toward the Avatar.
The Shadow Clone, under attack, suddenly drew his sword. The Sword Light swiftly cut through, like a shadow, instantly defeating the attack. The broken sword, like a crescent moon, slashed through the Sage's body, tearing it apart.
"Such a powerful weapon!"
The Sages were shocked, not expecting Li Hao's mere Avatar to be so formidable.
The one who attacked was the Three Calamities Sage, and he was easily split open, his Holy Palace breached. This was truly unbelievable.
Primordial Ancestor's gaze also fell on the broken sword, sensing something terrifying about it. It seemed that this sword was not a Dao Armament.
An Immortal Artifact...
Primordial Ancestor's eyes flickered with a glint of light. Even though it was an Immortal Artifact that had lost its power, it was still an invaluable treasure.
Before he could make a move, a flash of fire appeared beside him, and the god king had already charged forward, slashing at the Shadow Clone.
Black flames enveloped the sword, and he unleashed the power of the Extreme Dao Divine Realm, emitting a vast and ominous aura as he swung his sword.
Peng! The Sword Light shattered Li Hao's Dao Domain.
Since the Shadow Clone only inherited one-third of Li Hao's True Self's power, it lacked any Ultimate Realm and, consequently, no ultimate realm power.
For example, a Dao Domain requires 360 layers to become an Eternal Dao Domain, but the Shadow Clone only had 120 layers.
However, even so, the Shadow Clone's Soul Spirit inherited one-third of Li Hao's Soul Spirit Power, making it stronger than other Sages.
The broken sword suddenly slashed with incredible speed. As the black flame Sword Light struck the Shadow Clone, the broken sword also pierced through the god king's armor, splitting his body in two.
Both their bodies split open. Li Hao's entire body was engulfed in Divine Flame, and his wounds refused to heal, continuously being destroyed by the extreme path power.
The god king's body, however, quickly healed. He was furious, never expecting that a mere Incarnation of Li Hao could injure him to such an extent.
With each successive strike, more and more black flames covered the Shadow Clone, burning intensely.
"Truly worthy of being a god king. This extreme path power is indeed formidable."
"Hao Tian's Incarnation seems even more terrifying. It's just an Incarnation, yet it can hold out for so long."
"Having cultivated the Immortal Art, it's natural for him to have such prowess."
The Sages watched this scene intently.
Just as the Shadow Clone was about to be slain by the god king, a sudden whistling sound tore through the air.
The Shadow Clone suddenly looked up, gazing in that direction. Ignoring the god king's attack, it wielded the broken sword and charged forward.
But halfway through its flight, the broken sword was knocked down by Primordial Ancestor's attack. At the same time, he released a surge of Saint Path Power, enveloping the broken sword and wresting it from the Shadow Clone's control.
