Chapter 467: Eruption, Kill!
Chapter 467: Eruption, Kill!
As Shi Tianjin led the way, the other veterans followed closely behind, each revealing their own aura, mostly at the True Immortal Seventh Level and Eighth Level.
The others also joined in, all at the True Immortal Fifth Level. The only True Immortal Eighth Level here, Hu Xiaochi, took off with Li Hao.
"Stay close to me."
Hu Xiaochi was extremely responsible and attentive to Li Hao, fearing he might fall behind, and deliberately slowed down.
Li Hao slightly increased his speed to match the True Immortal Fifth Level, avoiding being left behind.
Seeing that Li Hao's Body Movement Techniques were not slow, Hu Xiaochi was somewhat surprised and telepathically remarked, "You kid, you're quite the hidden gem. To have such Body Movement Techniques, no wonder you had the courage to come to this border battlefield."
Li Hao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and replied, "Not bad."
Seeing Li Hao's calm and composed demeanor, Hu Xiaochi immediately knew this speed wasn't Li Hao's limit. If he truly erupted, he might reach True Immortal Sixth Level. This put Hu Xiaochi at ease, and he slightly increased his speed, staying with Li Hao at the back of the group.
They flew for thousands of miles before reaching the edge of the city. Qinghe Moe City was vast, and the camp of the Wildfire Army was located near the outer edge of the battlefield, spanning several thousand miles in diameter.
Around them were other camps of the Wildfire Army, with millions of people advancing together. The area was filled with countless figures, like a rain of arrows, densely packed. The feeling of being part of a vast tide made everyone feel small and insignificant, and the enormity of the battlefield was overwhelming!
Soon, they came upon a vast, golden light barrier that stretched across the sky.
The figures ahead darted through the barrier, their bodies illuminated in gold, resembling incarnate fireflies.
Beyond the golden barrier, the landscape was eerie, primitive, and desolate.
Li Hao and the others followed Shi Tianjin through the barrier and found themselves in an ancient starfield battlefield.
Rocks and debris flew everywhere, and massive skeletons and broken bones were scattered among discarded armor and weapons.
Clearly, this was an old battlefield.
"Now we are outside the border defensive line. Be cautious of ancient demons that may emerge at any moment. Let's go to the frontline!" Shi Tianjin said, his eyes sharp.
Hearing his words, the veterans' faces changed slightly, and they glanced at Li Hao and the other new recruits, but no one spoke. They simply followed closely behind.
This time, their speed was even faster. Shi Tianjin used short-range Netherwast Teleportation repeatedly, and the others kept up. Before long, they had traversed tens of thousands of miles.
The landscape along the way was filled with rocks and debris, and the vastness of the battlefield left a deep impression on Li Hao and the other new recruits.
However, Li Hao had already walked the ancient path in the starfield, so he was not overly surprised. The scenes he had witnessed on the ancient path were even more gruesome.
As they continued to advance, suddenly, Li Hao's Divine Sense detected countless swirls of mist and divine light, with Immortal Power converging and thunder rumbling. Transparent Thunder Dragons and seas of Crimson Flame were among the Immortal Techniques being used.
Li Hao's eyes narrowed; they were approaching the frontline.
After traveling another few hundred miles, Shi Tianjin abruptly slowed down and said, "We're approaching the frontline. Be careful."
The others looked puzzled, but as they continued, they too noticed the intense battle ahead.
"Earlier, I didn't have the time to explain how to earn immortal merit on the battlefield", Shi Tianjin paused and turned, his gaze stern.
"Killing a True Immortal First Level ancient demon earns you a thousand immortal merit points. Two levels earn two thousand, three levels earn three thousand, and so on."
"A True Immortal Tenth Level ancient demon earns ten thousand immortal merit points!"
"Killing ten of them earns you a hundred thousand immortal merit points, which can get you a direct promotion to the Tiger Lion Army as a camp leader, or even the Peacock Army with the right connections!"
The veterans were already aware of this, but Li Hao and the other new recruits took mental notes.
"How is immortal merit distributed? We are the Yinglong Yiwu Camp, and there are two ways to earn immortal merit. One is to hunt alone, and the amount of ancient demons you kill equals the amount of immortal merit you earn."
"The other way is to follow the army, which means following me, and together we form an array to kill ancient demons. In this case, half of the immortal merit from each kill goes to me, and the rest is divided among you."
His gaze swept over the new recruits, including Li Hao, and he said, "Hunting ancient demons alone yields more immortal merit, but this is an extraplanar battlefield. Without support, you could fall at any moment. Formations to kill ancient demons may halve the immortal merit, but they offer safety. Working together can also prevent casualties."
Hearing this, many of the new recruits nodded in agreement. One of them spoke up, "I want to join the formation. Captain, please take us along."
Shi Tianjin glanced at the speaker and nodded slightly. "No problem, but our company has rules. We divide tasks based on cultivation realm. They are veterans, so they will naturally work harder and earn more credit. When rewards are distributed, their share will be larger. You are new recruits, so just surviving would be a feat. Your share of immortal merit will be reduced accordingly. No objections, right?"
The new recruits exchanged glances, their faces showing hesitation, but no one voiced any opposition.
"Alright, since no one objects, let's go."
Shi Tianjin was about to turn away when Li Hao suddenly spoke up. "Wait, I want to hunt ancient demons alone."
At Li Hao's words, everyone turned to look at him, stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.
The one with the lowest cultivation proposing to go out alone?
Shi Tianjin was taken aback, a hint of exasperation in his eyes, but it quickly turned into a disdainful sneer. Low cultivation and foolish—truly not worth saving!
"Suit yourself."
He didn't bother to say more.
To him, keeping Li Hao in the formation would only stir up the veterans' discontent. After all, with Li Hao's cultivation, he would only be a deadweight, mooching off the immortal merit.
Hu Xiaochi stared at Li Hao in shock, and when Shi Tianjin's cold words sank in, he grabbed Li Hao's arm. "Are you crazy?"
Li Hao shook his head. "I want to improve myself."
Hu Xiaochi was speechless, then bitterly smiled. "You're being too hasty. We're not familiar yet. Let's follow them and get to know the place. Next time, I'll take you out to hunt ancient demons alone."
Li Hao shook his head. He might not know Hu Xiaochi well, but he was familiar with the structure of True Immortal Realm ancient demons.
"Would you like to come with me?"
Li Hao invited him.
Hu Xiaochi's concern for him made Li Hao want to return the favor.
Hu Xiaochi was speechless, looking at Li Hao with a mix of regret and admiration. "Sorry, I can't take that risk."
He admired Li Hao's sense of duty, but he couldn't go along with such a dangerous plan. After all, they had just met, and while he was willing to help Li Hao, he wasn't ready to risk his life.
"Alright."
Li Hao didn't press the issue further.
The others watched the exchange between Li Hao and Hu Xiaochi, their eyes filled with cold mockery. One of them whispered, "What's he thinking?"
"Looking for death, I guess."
Another replied.
Shi Tianjin didn't want to waste any more time. Hu Xiaochi's decision to pull back was a relief to him. Otherwise, he would have intervened, as a new recruit at the True Immortal Eighth Level had significant potential and was worth cultivating as part of his team.
"Let's go."
Shi Tianjin called out to the group, then increased his speed, instantly teleporting to a distant location.
The others, worried about falling behind, quickly followed.
Hu Xiaochi glanced back at Li Hao, seeing that he had no intention of joining the group. He sighed inwardly, then turned to catch up with the main force.
Li Hao watched as they all disappeared into the distance. Other warriors from different companies continued to pass by him.
Li Hao paused for a moment, then moved in a different direction.
His Soul Spirit was strong, and his Divine Sense covered a vast area. He saw a place ahead where intense battles were raging, with many Immortal Techniques vanishing, indicating a tear in the fabric of reality. This meant there were a large number of ancient demons there.
"Taowu, come out!"
As he accelerated, Li Hao drew a crack in his palm, and a weapon enveloped in killing intent appeared.
This was a weapon that only an Immortal Lord Realm cultivator could control. If Taowu didn't know Li Hao's true identity, it would have long since turned on him.
"What a rich scent, blood, it's blood!"
"Ha ha ha!"
Taowu cackled, visibly excited.
The battlefield was its favorite place.
"Go all out."
Li Hao knew that Taowu had been restrained for too long. This time, he let it loose to drink its fill of blood.
"Thank you, Master!"
Taowu exclaimed with excitement.
As Li Hao sped up, he used his spatial origin fourth realm to compress Tenth Rank Netherwast Teleportation into a single step, covering tens of thousands of miles in one go, far surpassing the others who would need ten such teleportations to cover the same distance.
In just a few steps, using the Heaven and Earth Traceless Body Movement Techniques, Li Hao arrived at the battlefield where the Immortal Technique Dark Annihilation was being wielded.
Here, Li Hao’s Divine Sense instantly enveloped the surroundings, revealing numerous colossal, menacing ancient demons.
The familiar body structures and scents brought Li Hao back to the moment when he had fought to the death at the entrance of the Double Crevice Demon Valley.
His blood seemed to boil in response, and his eyes blazed with intense killing intent!
“Go!”
Li Hao released Taowu, which shot out of his palm in a blood-red streak. In an instant, it plunged into the crowd of ancient demons, and with a single breath, it exploded the heads of three ancient demons, like a crimson aurora!
Meanwhile, Li Hao drew the Heavenly Academy Disciple's Sword, a True Treasure, and charged towards another group of ancient demons.
The True Treasure Long Sword flew from his hand, unleashing a heaven-defying art that dramatically increased its power. Nine threads of Immortal Power coiled around it, multiplying the force it emitted!
Swish!
The Long Sword pierced through the bodies of the ancient demons with precision, dissecting them like a skilled butcher. In a mere instant, it killed the Physical Body of a Third Tier True Immortal ancient demon.
As the Soul Spirit was just about to escape from the Physical Body, the Long Sword impaled it, causing immediate Annihilation.
This True Treasure Long Sword contained a powerful force that was especially effective against Soul Spirits, dealing higher damage to them.
Since the Ancient Demon Catastrophe swept through the True World, the cultivation techniques and weapons of the ten thousand races have gradually evolved to target the Ancient Demon Clan.
Most weapons now possess strong Soul Spirit damage, and Immortal Arts are no exception.
With Li Hao’s arrival, a section of the gap was suddenly sealed, but more ancient demons roared and charged forward.
Roar!
Accompanied by the ancient demons' roars, a black vortex suddenly appeared from a distance, locking onto Li Hao and bearing down on him.
Clearly, these ancient demons had noticed that the young man blocking the gap was a formidable opponent and aimed to eliminate Li Hao directly.
Sensing the aura of death from the black vortex, Li Hao’s expression changed, and his gaze grew serious. This was not the work of a single ancient demon but a combined attack by dozens of ancient demons using their innate Secret Arts.
The armies of the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty could form arrays to resist the ancient demons, and the ancient demons could also form arrays to attack, and they did so with even greater efficiency!
“Taowu!”
Li Hao’s eyes focused, and he immediately called out to Taowu, the Immortal Weapon.
Taowu, in the midst of his slaughter, sensed Li Hao’s call and immediately noticed the black vortex.
“Master, I’m coming!”
Taowu’s telepathic roar echoed as he broke through the air, slicing a black crack in the void. Then, he emitted a intense bloody red light, turning the surrounding area into a sea of blood as he charged towards the black vortex.
Boom!
The center of the black vortex was suddenly pierced by the red light, and a wave of red mist-like light surged out, shattering the vortex’s outer edges.
The sense of impending death dissipated, and Li Hao growled, “Break the formation!”
“Understood!”
Taowu responded loudly and quickly plunged into the crowd of ancient demons.
Li Hao swung the True Treasure Long Sword, unleashing the Ultimate Realm Eruption, generating a powerful force that created a brilliant sword beam.
Qing Tian!
The sword light sliced through hundreds of miles, cleaving the bodies of the ancient demons in its path, including those at the True Immortal Eighth Level and even the Ninth Level!
At the gap where ancient demons were surging in, Li Hao stood like a rock, fighting against the current, continuously slaughtering them.
As he hunted, Li Hao also collected the bodies of the ancient demons into the Heavenly Earth Space. This was the true purpose of his hunt.
Compared to immortal merit, delicious food has a greater allure.
Whoosh!
Li Hao's figure darted swiftly, like a grim reaper among the ancient demons surrounding the harvest.
The battlefield was extremely chaotic. Despite Li Hao's divine sense covering the area and his quick reactions, some ancient demons still managed to suddenly attack him, swinging their sharp, black cracks to tear his body apart.
However, these sneak attacks failed to leave any scars on Li Hao, unable to pierce the skin of his Ancestor Immortal Body.
Only the destructive power of a Tenth Tier True Immortal could injure Li Hao, but even then, the wounds would heal instantly. This was the terrifying nature of the Ancestor Immortal Body. Only tenfold Perfection monsters, who mastered the incomprehensible Adversity Immortal Art, could match him!
Boom!
Li Hao raised his hand and smashed an ancient demon's head with a single palm.
Despite the ancient demon's massive body, Li Hao's wave of the hand, combined with the Fourth Tier spatial origin power, condensed a spatial giant palm that crushed it instantly.
As Li Hao continued his slaughter, more and more ancient demons charged at him, this "nail", roaring fiercely.
Li Hao's eyes grew increasingly sharp. He killed wave after wave of ancient demons, deeply feeling the intensity of the battlefield. Even though he could continuously attack and kill the ancient demons, the surrounding ancient demons seemed endless, like waves of the sea, continuously assaulting him.
Despair?
No.
Li Hao never feared exhaustion.
Heavenly Stars Pulse, activate!!
Li Hao's eyes suddenly erupted with divine light, as if shooting from the abyss into the heavens. His entire body radiated with golden light, his golden hair flying wildly, making him look like a supreme war god standing by a chaotic river!
In stark contrast to the surrounding darkness, he shone like a god!
With the connection of the Heavenly Stars Pulse, the True World All Heavens, from the vast distances of trillions of miles, seemed to hear the call of this young man, descending a beam of starlight to form his pulse!
Endless immortal power poured into Li Hao's immortal body, filling it to the brim!
It felt as if he had boundless power to spend. Around him, countless beams of starlight appeared, sparkling and mysterious.
Feeling this overwhelming power, Li Hao had a bold idea.
The Fourth Tier spatial origin allowed him to control the surrounding space with great precision. At this moment, he applied this insight to his Eternal Dao Domain.
"Eternal Dao Domain, Fourth Tier spatial, suppress!"
With a wave of his hand, the Eternal Dao Domain activated, spreading out. As the word "suppress" fell, the ancient demons within his Dao Domain seemed to freeze in place.
Then, their bodies all cracked open!
Li Hao didn't directly crush them; instead, he used spatial power to shatter all their bones and organs, effectively separating flesh and bone.
In an instant, these ancient demons' physical bodies perished, leaving only their soul spirits.
Whoosh!
The True Treasure Long Sword whistled out, cutting through the air like lightning. Under the enhancement of the Dao Domain, it swiftly severed the soul spirits of these ancient demons, dispersing them into nothingness!
"Absorb!"
Li Hao's will moved, and the Heavenly Earth Space opened within his Dao Domain, sucking in all the ancient demon corpses. Li Hao didn't have time to count, but there were at least forty to fifty of them!
The immortal power within him was also depleted, but it was quickly replenished.
"The capacity of my immortal power is still too low. If my realm were higher, with more immortal power, the range and power of my Dao Domain would be even greater..."
Li Hao's eyes flickered, and he took a step forward, continuing his charge into the group of ancient demons ahead.
The battle here soon caught the attention of the nearby Tiger Lion Camp.
They had expected the ancient demons to attack the rear of the Wildfire Army after breaking through the gap, but instead, they were being held back by someone.
"Who is that? Someone from the Wildfire Camp?"
"Damn, have you ever seen anyone from the Wildfire Camp with that kind of ability? Even the camp leader couldn't do it!"
"Looks like he's not wearing armor, probably some elder from a sect."
The nearby Tiger Lion Camp warriors were surprised but also encouraged. With such strong support, this gap could be closed!
