Chapter 528: Chaotic Life
Chapter 528: Chaotic Life
"Hmm."
Li Hao nodded, generously saying, "The other one can be your reward for your hard work."
"?"
Seeing Li Hao's serious expression, the young man from the Ancient God Clan almost wanted to laugh, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. But for some reason, he couldn't manage to laugh.
"It seems you don't know your place. I was planning to let you survive the first round because you attracted so many ancient demons. I didn't want to bully you, but now, I'll have to eliminate you early!"
The young man from the Ancient God Clan's eyes turned cold, his golden hair fluttering, and his Soul Spirit turned a brilliant gold, radiating immense power.
"Sharing one for each of us would be better, wouldn't it?"
Li Hao sighed lightly at the sight.
The young man from the Ancient God Clan sneered, "A mere nobody getting eliminated early will save the trouble for the rest. If I have the chance, I'll clear out all the ancient demons in the secret realm and then distribute the Dao Fire myself!"
He raised his hand, and a deep blue Dao Fire appeared in his palm. He looked at Li Hao with scorn, "Want it? Come and get it."
"Alright."
Li Hao agreed, and spatial-temporal power suddenly spread out, radiating from the Eternal Dao Domain.
Whoosh!
The deep blue Dao Fire vanished, and in the next moment, it reappeared in Li Hao's palm.
The moment the Dao Fire disappeared, the young man from the Ancient God Clan's expression changed. He felt an unusual power invade, but before he could react, the deep blue Dao Fire vanished right before his eyes!
When he looked again, the deep blue Dao Fire was already in Li Hao's palm.
The young man from the Ancient God Clan's face turned grim, his eyes narrowing as he stared at Li Hao. The scornful smirk on his face faded.
Being able to snatch the Dao Fire from him without a sound, the unusual power he felt, he had a guess. His eyes narrowed:
"Spatial-temporal power? You have mastered both powers at once?!"
Li Hao glanced at the deep blue Dao Fire in his hand. With his Fourth Stage Fire Dao Origin Realm, he could sense that this Dao Fire, though looking like a flame, had nothing to do with the Fire Dao. Instead, it was a kind of Dao Resonance, constructed with a special power, condensed to look like a burning flame.
He didn't answer the young man from the Ancient God Clan's question, instead casually opening a spatial rift and storing the deep blue Dao Fire inside.
"Looks like you've got some skills. No wonder you talk big."
Though he didn't get a response, the young man from the Ancient God Clan already had his answer, his eyes becoming sharp.
The young man in front of him, with a soul age of 96 years, had mastered the spatial-temporal power from the Nine Sequences, and his realm wasn't low.
He himself mastered the Spatial Origin Great Dao, so he could feel that Li Hao's Spatial Origin Dao Realm wasn't low either, and it seemed to be on par with his own!
Combined with the time Primordial Great Dao he hadn't yet mastered, these two Great Daos together would bring a qualitative improvement, which was a well-known fact.
If they were the same soul age... The young man from the Ancient God Clan's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. He had always considered himself a peerless prodigy, but now he suddenly realized that if they were of the same soul age, he might not be a match for this young man.
For the first time, he felt a sense of defeat in terms of talent. But this uncomfortable feeling didn't last long. His Dao Heart quickly stabilized, knowing that the path of life was long and that such comparisons were pointless. Even some Immortal Emperors, in their early years, had average talent and only achieved sudden enlightenment of the Great Dao later, thus rising step by step.
"Since you have some skills, I won't make things difficult for you this time. You do have the qualifications to claim this Dao Fire."
The young man of the Ancient God Clan gave Li Hao a deep look, slowly reining in his killing intent. With a cold voice, he said:
"If you make it to the end, we'll meet on the Arena!"
After speaking, he felt the ancient demons' power within his Physical Body dissipate. His Soul Spirit immediately merged back in, and without looking back, he turned and sped away.
Li Hao had already prepared for a confrontation. Seeing the other party retreat, he was somewhat surprised but didn't dwell on it. Once the other's aura dissipated, he used his Divine Sense to examine the ancient demon corpses.
It had to be said, while the other's method of slaying the ancient demons was crude, his power was strong enough that almost every strike was fatal, destroying the Soul Spirits along with the Physical Bodies. The damage to the Physical Bodies was minimal.
He raised his hand and drew a Spatial Rift, storing all the ancient demon corpses within, including the two from the royal race. They would likely taste even more delicious.
After doing this, he continued his journey into the mountains.
The friction between the two was clearly visible to the outside world, leaving countless people stunned and shocked.
They had thought Li Hao's Channeling Qi was impressive enough to save his life, but they never expected him to dare ask the young man of the Ancient God Clan for the dao fire.
To their amazement, Li Hao managed to snatch the dao fire right under everyone's noses, without anyone noticing.
"This young man Hao Tian is no pushover!"
"Too incredible! That young man of the Ancient God Clan is a monster, yet he managed to snatch something from a monster!"
"From the calm and composed look on his face, I reckon he's probably on par with that young man of the Ancient God Clan, not far behind at all!"
"Would love to see them fight, but unfortunately, the young man of the Ancient God Clan left, probably not wanting to reveal too much of his combat strength prematurely."
"By the way, how did Hao Tian snatch the dao fire just now?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it was time power. Just like when he defeated the Prince of the Yuan Zun Immortal Dynasty, he used Time Essence Power to attack in a different timeline, making it impossible to avoid!"
"Isn't that practically invincible?"
"The Nine Sequences' top rank, do you think it's that easy to deal with?"
The various factions were abuzz with discussion, their appreciation of Li Hao's strength deepening.
...
Outside the secret realm.
Great Dream Master and Li Tiemu both let out a sigh of relief. Although they had known Li Hao was strong, having defeated the Immortal Lord Realm's Chu Tianzheng, they couldn't tell if he had used any external forces like Immortal Weapons.
The young man of the Ancient God Clan, from their perspective, was likely on par with Chu Tianzheng, even though he was only in the True Immortal Realm. His true combat strength could rival that of the Immortal Lord Realm!
Combining this with his earlier words about wanting to explore the Immortal Lord Realm secret realm, it was clear that his strength was unfathomable.
"This kid really gives me a scare!"
Li Tiemu wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking utterly drained.
Great Dream Master gazed intently at the young man in the reflection, saying nothing. Her bright eyes, however, were filled with concern, hoping he would go even further. After all, he carried the hopes of the Great Dream's Nine Depths, which had been waiting for ten thousand years.
However, the number of monsters in the True Immortal Realm group this time was more than she had anticipated. Besides the young man of the Ancient God Clan, there were six or seven other figures that caught her attention. Two of them were Disciples of the Supreme Sage, and one was a chaotic life, using a Chaos Immortal Technique that was extremely terrifying.
Initially, she had thought Li Hao had a good chance of placing in the top three of the Southern Domain Battle's True Immortal Realm group. Now, even making it into the top five would be extremely challenging!
"The allure of the Primordial True Realm is truly immense."
Her eyes flickered as she muttered to herself.
...
"The Dao fire is secured, but it's not enough yet."
In the Secret Realm, Li Hao soared through the mountain peaks, his speed unwavering. Along the way, he encountered lone ancient demons, dispatching them with a single gesture and storing them in the Spatial Rift with practiced ease.
He continued forward, and the number of ancient demons he encountered gradually increased. However, for Li Hao, these demons that would have caused him some trouble seven years ago now posed no challenge at all.
Even a group of dozens of True Immortal Realm ancient demons would be easily defeated by him in an instant.
Li Hao planned to collect more Dao fire. If he met Lin Qingying, Gu Yan, and the others, he could gift some to them.
Above a certain lake.
Four ancient demons were surrounding a figure, their battle cries deafening. The rain of Immortal Technique transformed into sharp ice arrows, continuously shooting toward the ancient demons, freezing their bodies.
"Die!"
The white-haired youth's face was twisted in fury, his voice a low growl.
However, dark demonic flames emerged from within the ancient demons, transforming into ghostly skeletons that lunged at the white-haired youth.
"I can't lose, I can't fall!"
The white-haired youth roared, determined to bring honor to his race. His race had yet to join the Hundred Clans, lingering outside the top few hundred. This was a rare opportunity to prove himself.
He roared, his Soul Spirit burning, blood tears streaming from his eyes as he charged at the ancient demons.
But the four ancient demons worked together, unleashing a demonic roar that shook his Soul Spirit, causing his body to tremble.
As the white-haired youth was about to be devoured by the ancient demons, a streak of silver light shot past. Suddenly, the four formidable and coordinated ancient demons all shuddered, stopping mid-air. Their eyes widened in shock and fear, and the light in their eyes gradually faded.
The four ancient demons' bodies plummeted downward.
Before they hit the ground, a terrifying spatial rift opened below, swallowing them.
"Hmm? More Dao fire?"
A figure stepped forward. Li Hao saw the azure flames floating in the air and was somewhat surprised. He casually summoned them to his hand, glanced at them, and then sent them to the Spatial Rift.
At this moment, the white-haired youth snapped out of his daze, looking at Li Hao in confusion.
He quickly recognized the young man as the one with the youngest soul age!
"Be careful."
Li Hao glanced at the white-haired youth, waved his hand, and then turned to leave, vanishing from the scene.
The white-haired youth was stunned. Seeing Li Hao's figure teleport miles away, he finally came to his senses, realizing he had been saved, and by the young man with the youngest soul age.
"What's his name? It seems to be... Hao Tian?"
The white-haired youth murmured, silently remembering the name.
At the same time, in another part of the void.
Boom!
A burst of golden light suddenly erupted, followed by a sharp Sword Light slicing through the air, sending golden hair fragments drifting in the wind.
Two figures stood in the Barbaric Age's Heaven and Earth, with a vast forest of giant trees and towering waterfalls below.
"Don't make things difficult for yourself."
The young man in white on the left said coolly, his Sword Light menacing. This was the Sword Soul condensed by his Sword Dao, not an Immortal Weapon, but it emitted a power akin to a top-tier immortal sword.
On the other side, a young man from the Ancient God Clan with golden hair flying, his face tense and eyes cold.
He had just parted ways with the young man with the youngest soul age, and now, he unexpectedly encountered this Disciple of the Supreme Sage.
The power displayed by the other side made him feel a sense of respect once again.
"Interesting, so this is the Disciple taught by the Supreme Sage. If this were the third stage Arena battle, I would truly want to have a proper match with you!"
Ancient God Clan young man narrowed his eyes, revealing a fierce battle intent.
"You should pray that you never cross paths with me."
The young man in white remained calm, as if stating a fact, "Otherwise, you will die!"
The Ancient God Clan young man laughed, "Indeed, the Southern Domain is the place for battles. I thought I was invincible, but it seems there are still more arrogant individuals out there. Excellent!"
The young man in white looked at him coldly, his eyes devoid of emotion, and did not respond.
"My name is Shen Wujin. Remember it. I look forward to facing you in the Arena!"
The Ancient God Clan young man laughed heartily, his battle intent burning like embers, but he restrained himself. His purpose this time in the Southern Domain was to spar with other prodigies and see if there was anyone who could match his prowess. Additionally, he aimed to secure a spot in the Primordial True Realm.
Now, this first encounter left him very satisfied. He had thought that being placed in the True Immortal Realm group would be boring, but it turned out to be quite interesting!
"Once you become a wraith under my sword, I might remember you."
The young man in white said indifferently.
The Ancient God Clan young man smiled, not continuing the verbal sparring, and flew away, leaving behind a promise to meet again.
……
Boom!
In the void, three ancient demons were surrounding a figure in a green robe.
Suddenly, sword marks appeared on the bodies of the three ancient demons.
"Get out of my way!"
Lin Qingying's eyes were sharp as she wielded the Void Sword. Though she held no physical sword, her mind was a sword, and though the Sword Light was invisible, the ancient demons' bodies were marked with sword cuts.
If not for her insufficient Immortal Power and weaker foundation, she could have slain these ancient demons with a single thought using her Sword Art.
However, her Soul Spirit Power was not yet strong enough, and the ancient demons excelled in Soul Spirit.
"Break!"
Quickly, her Soul Spirit merged with the Void Sword Art, and the sword blade appeared in the ancient demons' Sea of Consciousness and mind, splitting their Soul Spirits apart.
Whoosh!
She soared past, leaving behind three ancient demon corpses, and continued on her way.
……
"It's not time yet. Wait until the third stage, and you'll see my current Sword Dao!"
"You should have recognized me by now!"
High in the sky, Gu Yan wielded Sword Light, slicing through five ancient demons. His eyes were cold and filled with hatred as he stepped over the ancient demons' corpses and scanned the void, as if seeing something far away.
That was the path he had taken to get here.
But it was a path filled with thorns.
Now, he finally had the right to cut through these thorns with his sword.
……
"Another Dao Fire."
Li Hao raced through this world akin to the Barbaric Age, his Divine Sense extending far and wide. He searched for ancient demons with great speed, and the number of ancient demons he hunted kept increasing.
When he encountered other prodigies, he helped those in need, and when he met those on equal footing, he did not take advantage of them, choosing to avoid them and continue his search.
After all, there were plenty of ancient demons here, and there was no need to compete.
Along the way, he also collected many ancient demon corpses, some of which were in tatters, others killed with a single strike.
Li Hao, like a scavenger, searched everywhere.
At the peak of a mountain, a young man sat, a flask of wine in his hand. At the bottom of the cliff behind him, dozens of ancient demon corpses lay piled up, their flesh wings twisted and broken, their deaths gruesome.
The hellish scene contrasted sharply with the young man's calm demeanor as he sipped his wine.
Suddenly, he saw a figure approaching from the sky, and he couldn't help but smile slightly, raising his wine flask.
