Chapter 527: Ancient God Clan Young Man
Chapter 527: Ancient God Clan Young Man
"Interesting."
Outside the True Immortal Realm, in the vast expanse of the void, Emperor Tianzhao of the Tianzhao Immortal Dynasty sat suspended in the air.
Seeing the young man spare his child and not exterminate him completely, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He said to the nearby Emperor Chu:
"That young man has a good heart."
"He is still young, after all."
Emperor Chu said calmly.
If it had been him in his early days, he would have killed such a provocateur immediately to establish his authority.
"Yan Chu has produced such prodigies; it seems fate has smiled upon him."
Emperor Tianzhao chuckled lightly.
In the imperial capital of the Tianzhao Immortal Dynasty, within a secluded palace, a concubine watched as the young man with a spear was defeated and fled. Her heart, which had been in her throat, now settled, and she wept with relief.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness that young man showed mercy and isn't temperamental."
This stunningly beautiful concubine, who looked like a young maiden, gently patted her chest, feeling immensely relieved.
Earlier, when she saw her son Jingzhao face the prodigy, she felt a mix of surprise and joy, thinking it was his chance to make a name for himself.
But in the blink of an eye, Jingzhao was defeated, and his head was nearly severed.
Her mind had gone blank at the time, fearing that the young man would kill Jingzhao. This prodigy was a reincarnation of her family's patriarch, placed in her womb to secure her position in the harem.
This Southern Domain Battle was an opportunity to earn merit and fame. If he were eliminated in the first round, years of cultivation would be wasted.
"Remember that young man. After the battle, prepare a gift and send it to Yan Chu, directly to him."
The concubine gazed at the young man, illuminated by the starry sky, and instructed her confidant.
"Yes, Your Highness."
The confidant responded respectfully.
...
Whoosh!
In the mountains, a silver sword light danced, instantly piercing through an ancient demon's body, destroying its soul spirit.
Then, Li Hao raised his hand and drew a spatial rift, storing the demon's corpse inside.
He walked through the mountains, searching for more ancient demons. The previous battle was just a minor inconvenience, quickly forgotten.
As he ventured deeper, the aura of malice grew stronger.
From the shadows in various parts of the mountains, the silhouettes of ancient demons watched the young man who had boldly entered the sky above the mountains.
Such a carefree entry clearly marked him as a prodigy of the Human Race.
"These prodigies, their biggest flaw is overconfidence!"
"Kill him. He doesn't know what 'gift' we have prepared for him."
"We've been trapped here by the Human Race's Supreme Sage. We are doomed to die, but before we do, we will crush and devour their prodigy in front of everyone, showing that the ancient demons are the strongest race in the world, and they are only fit to be our food!"
In the shadows, the auras of the ancient demons stirred, their eyes filled with ferocity.
In the True Immortal Realm, countless humans watched, and there were no rules against them working together. Unless the Supreme Sage intervened personally, no one could stop them!
"Wait!"
"Wait a bit longer!"
"Let him go deeper. That boy is so arrogant, he hasn't slowed down at all!"
In the mountains, two ancient demons of the royal race were caught here, but they were not separated by bloodline. However, they all bore a special mark, knowing this was what the prodigies were after.
Though they were also at the True Immortal Realm's Perfection stage, the royal race of ancient demons possessed power three to five times greater than other ancient demons of the same realm!
Ordinary ancient demons already exerted immense pressure on other races at the same realm, let alone the royal race, which could sweep through entire regions.
"He's here!"
Finally, the young man reached the depths of the mountains, where thick fog enveloped him.
The ancient demons hiding in various parts of the mountains immediately received the signal to attack. They revealed their fangs and flesh wings, swooping down in a frenzy to assault the young man in the sky.
Whoosh!
As the ancient demons launched their coordinated attack, the thick fog in the mountains was instantly dispelled. Then, a swarm of dark figures, like a hive of bees, emerged from all directions.
There were dozens of them, one after another.
"Heavens, so many ancient demons!"
"Who knew so many ancient demons were hiding in those mountains?"
"They were prepared, lying in wait there!"
"It's over. That young man is finished!"
When the ancient demons took flight, those watching from outside were shocked and pale.
Outside the True Immortal Realm, the smiles on the faces of Great Dream Master and Old Li froze, becoming somewhat stiff.
Dozens of ancient demons revealed their massive forms, darkening the sky above the mountain range. The sight was terrifying.
"Among them are members of the royal race, the Di Jiang Royal Clan!"
Great Dream Master's expression suddenly changed when he noticed two members of the Di Jiang Royal Clan among the ancient demons. Their size and physique were clearly different from the others, with royal race demon patterns appearing on their bodies and flesh wings.
Li Tiemu's face turned pale. Although Li Hao was strong, he was facing dozens of ancient demons. This was not just a simple matter of numbers; the ancient demons had racial combat techniques. When their numbers reached a certain scale, they could join forces, creating a formation not unlike the military formations of the human race, significantly boosting their combat power, combining the strength of dozens of ancient demons into a single force!
"That young man is in trouble."
Several Elders of the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Tower exchanged glances, feeling a mix of regret and a bit of schadenfreude.
If that young man were to fall in the secret realm and be reborn through the soul heart preserved by the Supreme Sage, there might be a chance to recruit him as a disciple.
Meanwhile, inside the secret realm.
Li Hao watched the swarm of ancient demons flying toward him, not with fear but with joy, a smile playing on his lips.
He had not expected to find such a large nest, and the prospect of a bountiful harvest filled him with excitement.
Immortal Power surged within him, and just as he was about to act, a whistling sound came from the distance, growing louder by the second.
Then, a burst of golden light flashed several times, crossing thousands of miles in an instant, arriving above the mountain range.
"Tsk tsk, impressive, impressive!"
Golden hair flying, the young man of the Ancient God Clan watched the ancient demons swarming below, his face filled with delight.
He had been cutting down a few stray ancient demons along the way, but they were all lone wolves, easily eradicated with no real challenge.
Now, there was finally something to whet his appetite!
"Hmm? It's you."
At that moment, the young man of the Ancient God Clan noticed Li Hao beside him. Upon recognizing him, he was taken aback, his expression turning strange. He had not expected to encounter this soft, young fellow here.
A smug smile spread across his lips. "Since you've led so many ancient demons here, I'll save your life this time."
As he spoke, the ancient demons below had already surrounded them. Without waiting any longer, he transformed into a golden bolt of lightning and charged into the ancient demon horde.
"It's the young man of the Ancient God Clan!"
"He's actually walking into a trap?"
"Quick, look, he's going to break the formation!"
The ancient demons, having formed a formation array to attack, had been carefully observing the scene. The two royal race ancient demons had quietly noted Li Hao's defeat of the spear-wielding young man earlier, so they took the formation seriously, giving the intruders no chance.
However, the sudden appearance of the young man of the Ancient God Clan disrupted their plans.
But it didn't matter.
One more to kill, and this one was brimming with Immortal Power, vast and boundless like an ocean. Clearly, he was a terrifying prodigy, and killing him would be even more worthwhile!
"Die!"
The two royal race ancient demons growled, their eyes glowing with a deep, dark red light. The power of dozens of ancient demons converged, forming a shadowy figure like a god of the underworld, hovering above and opening its mouth to swallow the young man of the Ancient God Clan.
The young man's expression changed slightly. The shadowy figure was not just a construct of ancient demon power; it seemed to be linked to some terrifying existence in the void, causing a sense of dread. It also contained the soul spirit power of dozens of ancient demons, far exceeding the True Immortal Realm!
"Interesting, finally, something interesting!"
The young man's eyes glowed with golden divine light, filled with battle fervor. His hair flew wildly, radiating a golden Immortal Power, making him appear like a venerable spirit standing in mid-air.
His face turned a deep gold, his fists clenched, covered in golden power. Without looking back, he charged toward the shadowy figure of the god of the underworld.
"True Immortal Realm, I am invincible!!"
He roared, dashing headfirst into the mouth of the shadowy figure. The terrifying soul spirit power pressed down on him like countless blades, enveloping him.
His golden statue shadow was swallowed, but it continued to strike within the shadowy figure.
Outside, countless people watched the scene with tense expressions.
In a certain starry sky, atop a divine mountain in an ancient secret realm, this was the Holy Land where the Ancient God Clan resided.
At this moment, countless descendants of the Ancient God Clan raised their heads, their eyes filled with concern.
Among them, a young and timid girl clasped her hands together nervously, continuously praying.
"That Ancient God Clan young man is too reckless!"
"To see such a formidable array and not flee, but instead charge forward."
"Why isn't that young man leaving? This is a rare chance to escape!"
At this moment, someone noticed that Li Hao, in the air above the mountain range, did not take the opportunity to escape. Instead, he stood there as if waiting for something, which left them stunned.
"What is Hao Tian doing?!"
Li Tiemu also saw this and couldn't help but exclaim, his face filled with anxiety.
Great Dream Master's expression changed slightly, her brows furrowing as she gazed at the young man's face in the reflection. His face was extremely calm, his eyes revealing a sense of tranquility, without a hint of panic.
Her heart skipped a beat. Could it be...
At this moment, the ancient demons around Li Hao tightened their encirclement, preparing to launch an attack. However, the massive shadow of the Nethergod suddenly paused, and then, golden light began to crack through it.
The eyes of the numerous ancient demons changed, revealing shock.
Then, a golden Great Dao, like a golden musical score, shot out from the Nethergod's eyes, as if emitting golden light.
Following that, a figure emerged from the Nethergod's eye, hair flying wildly, with an air of invincible arrogance!
The Ancient God Clan young man had broken free, his eyes filled with domineering disdain. Behind him, a golden phantom appeared, seemingly his Dharma Image, but it was not fully revealed, only a part of its power was being used.
"Did you think I was dead?!"
Seeing the expressions of the numerous ancient demons, the Ancient God Clan young man's eyes were filled with dominance. He roared and, with a wave of his hand, condensed a Golden War Halberd, like a young War God, and charged at the cluster of ancient demons!
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
At this moment, the Nethergod's shadow let out a silent roar, and its palm shot out several green tentacles, attempting to entangle the Ancient God Clan young man.
Without looking back, the young man swung his Golden War Halberd, severing all the green tentacles.
The two Di Jiang Royal Clan ancient demons were both shocked and furious, not expecting the young man to break free from the Nethergod's devouring. This was a combined innate secret technique used by many ancient demons, with soul spirit power distributed among them. It should have been impossible for any True Immortal Realm cultivator to escape, even an Immortal Lord Realm cultivator would have to flee in disgrace!
"A top prodigy, all the better!"
The two Di Jiang Royal Clan ancient demons, in sync, raised their hands and summoned the power of the surrounding ancient demons, causing a purple-black flame to coalesce in the air.
This flame did not seem to be an Immortal Technique. The moment it appeared, it shot forward at the speed of light, colliding with the Ancient God Clan young man.
Even the Ancient God Clan young man did not have time to react or dodge.
However, when the purple-black flame struck, it was like a heavy punch. Instead of burning scars appearing on his body, a golden phantom was shaken out from within him.
The phantom quickly solidified, revealing itself to be the young man's soul spirit.
This was an innate secret technique of the ancient demon race, capable of forcing out the soul spirit and preventing it from returning to the physical body for a short time.
"Huh?"
The young man's soul spirit looked down and immediately understood what had happened, his eyes becoming even sharper.
"I won't entertain you any longer, die!"
His soul spirit radiated a bright light, and within it, dozens of golden lights were clearly visible.
"Soul spirit golden bones! He actually condensed so many soul spirit golden bones!"
"My goodness, this is what top monsters are like. When we cultivate our soul spirits, we reach the Ultimate Realm. In our sect, only one person broke through the Soul Spirit Extreme Realm, but they condensed soul spirit golden veins!"
"No wonder he is so fearless. His soul age seems to be only five hundred years, yet he managed to cultivate so many soul spirit golden bones!"
Outside, countless people were stunned. In this Southern Domain Peak Prodigy Battle, they could witness the limits of each realm, shattering their conventional understanding.
The prodigies they usually encountered were nothing compared to those who shone brightly in the Southern Domain Battle.
Whoosh!
A Golden War Halberd, condensed from Soul Spirit power, appeared in the hands of the young man from the Ancient God Clan. Then, his Soul Spirit flashed out, moving faster than any Body Movement Technique, and in the blink of an eye, he was among the ancient demons, piercing through them.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Several ancient demons were pierced, but their bodies showed no scars. However, their Soul Spirits were shattered by the Golden War Halberd, causing their bodies to stiffen and fall dead on the spot.
In just a moment, over a dozen ancient demons had their Soul Spirits shattered, and the power of the dark god's shadow diminished, becoming ethereal and weak.
At this moment, the young man from the Ancient God Clan blurred and appeared before two ancient demons of the Di Jiang Royal Clan.
"You!"
The two ancient demons of the Di Jiang Royal Clan were shocked and enraged, their bodies erupting with Heaven Demon Qi, their Soul Spirits burning and transforming into two dark, curved hooks that lashed out.
This was another innate secret art, capable of restraining Soul Spirits, making it highly effective when the weaker party faced the stronger.
However, the Golden War Halberd in the young man's hand ignited with golden flames, slicing through the two curved hooks and slashing down with a furious blow.
Boom!
The Golden War Halberd pierced through the head of one ancient demon of the Di Jiang Royal Clan, golden flames blossoming and burning from its body.
The ancient demon let out a defiant, angry roar, but it quickly died down.
The young man from the Ancient God Clan did not hesitate, turning and swinging his halberd with a swift motion.
The other ancient demon of the Di Jiang Royal Clan had no time to escape and was cut by a golden flame, leaving a scar on its side. It roared in shock and anger, causing the other ancient demons to rush to the attack.
But the young man's movements were too fast. On his second swing, the Golden War Halberd pierced through its head, and the golden flames, fueled by its Soul Spirit, engulfed its entire body.
As the golden flames faded, the ancient demon's body, though unburned, fell lifelessly to the ground.
In mid-air, where it fell, a blue flame quietly lingered.
The young man from the Ancient God Clan was taken aback, his eyes brightening. Dao fire?
He did not hesitate, raising his hand to summon the blue flame.
At the same time, another ancient demon of the Di Jiang Royal Clan fell, and a blue flame lingered at its original position.
He collected it as well.
Having obtained two portions of dao fire, he felt elated, not expecting such a pleasant surprise.
However, with so many ancient demons gathered, it was reasonable to obtain dao fire. Otherwise, it would be too rare.
At this moment, without the control of the two ancient demons of the Di Jiang Royal Clan, the remaining ancient demons, though roaring in a desperate charge, were quickly dispatched by the young man. Their bodies fell like rain, causing the mountains to rumble.
In an instant, the vast horde of ancient demons was swept away, and the mist in the mountains dissipated.
The young man's Soul Spirit returned to his body, but he found he still could not enter it.
There was a special power lingering within his Physical Body, preventing his Soul Spirit from entering. However, this power was gradually dissipating, and it would only be a matter of moments before his Soul Spirit could return to his body.
At this moment, the young man from the Ancient God Clan noticed that the young man he had saved had not taken the opportunity to flee. Instead, he was standing quietly in the same spot.
"Hmm?"
The young man from the Ancient God Clan raised an eyebrow, a slight smile curving his lips. "You have some courage."
Li Hao smiled at him, his smile as warm as a spring breeze, then slowly extended his hand and said:
"Give me one."
"?"
The young man from the Ancient God Clan was taken aback, staring at Li Hao's face for several seconds. Then, his eyes slowly widened, and he could not help but burst into laughter.
"You mean this?"
He held out the blue flame, looking at Li Hao with a mix of amusement and seriousness. "You're asking me to give you a portion of dao fire?!"
