Chapter 532: Janitor Li Hao
"Does he plan to slay them all by himself?"
Another young man's expression turned grave as he murmured.
Miao Bu'ai frowned and said, "These aren't ordinary ancient demons. If they were just True Immortal Realm Perfection, I could kill hundreds of them, but these are elites, and there are even royal race members among them!"
As they spoke, Di Lincen had already charged into the crowd of ancient demons beneath the red cloud.
His Dharma Image towered majestically, exuding an unparalleled aura, his divine robe as white as frost. Every gesture and movement carried the scornful intimidation of an emperor.
In the midst of the ancient demons, a massive, dark phantom emerged, radiating an ancient and malevolent aura, engaging in a fierce battle with Di Lincen's Dharma Image.
A dark power surged from the ancient demon horde, forming a barrier that enveloped the area beneath the red cloud, blocking everyone's view.
"That's the ancient demon Nether Realm!"
"They were lying in wait. Should we lend a hand?"
"Who cares? He's just showing off. The number of ancient demons was clear from the red cloud, yet he insisted on going alone. Bragging has its price."
Seeing the dark barrier's power, the various figures rushing to the red cloud had mixed expressions.
Miao Bu'ai turned to look at Li Hao and said, "He's in grave danger. Should we intervene?"
He wanted to help and form a connection with the Imperial Clan.
As a member of the Red Territory Imperial Clan, forming a friendship with someone from the Imperial Clan would greatly benefit his standing within the clan.
Li Hao gazed intently, not speaking, but his eyes revealed the power of time. A colorful, intricate thread appeared before him, extending into the ancient demon Nether Realm.
The thread of time was thin, but as it flowed, it reflected the scene of the ongoing battle.
This was a capability Li Hao had gained after reaching the fourth realm of Time Essence, allowing him to glimpse what would happen five seconds in the future.
Since time is constant and not fluid, it's possible to bypass the "present" and observe the future.
However, Li Hao's vision was extremely vague and limited, and he didn't know if what he saw could be altered by his actions.
If it could be altered, would that "future" still be the future? This was a paradox, and perhaps only by reaching deeper levels of the Time Essence realm could he understand it.
"Let's wait a bit longer."
Li Hao said to Miao Bu'ai.
At this moment, the scene he saw showed Di Lincen battling the ancient demons without falling behind.
Moreover, the Immortal Techniques Di Lincen was using were extremely powerful. Multiple starlights swirled around him, indicating that he, too, possessed the Heavenly Stars Vein!
This was the second time Li Hao had seen someone other than himself master it, and the person was also a True Immortal Realm cultivator, the same realm as him.
Empowered by the Heavenly Stars Vein, Di Lincen effortlessly unleashed terrifying Immortal Techniques, such as the Divine Waterfall and the Crimson Fire Domain, turning the surrounding area into a chaotic, shattered landscape.
In the ancient demon horde, hundreds of ancient demons worked together to summon a massive, malevolent phantom. With a single gesture, it tore apart numerous Immortal Techniques, engaging Di Lincen in a fierce struggle.
The malevolent phantom roared and shattered many Immortal Techniques, but Di Lincen quickly reformed them.
As the Immortal Techniques bombarded the area, some ancient demons were killed. Over time, the number of ancient demons slowly decreased. At this rate, it was only a matter of time before the ancient demon horde was eradicated. After all, the Heavenly Stars Vein was incredibly powerful, and as long as the battle remained evenly matched, the enemies would be drained to death!
In other words, to kill Di Lincen, one would need a power that far exceeded his own, capable of instantly slaying him!
The ancient demons also realized this. Several of them suddenly stepped forward, roaring in anger. Then, the other ancient demons' bodies erupted in dark demonic flames. The great malevolent phantom that had been summoned howled to the sky, a black vortex appearing above its head. Chains swayed from the edges of the vortex, as if leading to the gate of the underworld.
Dilincen's expression changed. He no longer continued to use the various top-tier Immortal Techniques of the Imperial Clan. Instead, he suddenly clasped his hands, and the Nine Flower Immortal Seal appeared on his forehead!
The moment the Nine Flower Immortal Seal emerged, it emitted a powerful aura, and his Immortal Power surged. With a wave of his hand, a massive palm descended, Suppressing everything in its path.
The giant palm carried an ancient and distant aura, as if it were the hand of an Emperor descending to crush Heaven and Earth.
Li Hao's expression turned serious. From the immortal seal on Dilincen's forehead, he could faintly sense the Power of the Nine Sequences.
It seemed that the other party, like him, possessed the Nine Sequences immortal seal!
In this place, where the True World Southern Region's top monsters from countless territories gathered, Li Hao finally encountered someone like himself.
As the power of the immortal seal was revealed, an ancient battle armor appeared around Dilincen's Dharma Image, the Imperial Clan's bloodline intimidation manifesting. It clashed with the great malevolent phantom summoned by the ancient demons.
Suddenly, the surroundings became blurred, and the thread of time became chaotic, the reflected images gradually fading away.
Li Hao was slightly taken aback, immediately understanding that Dilincen also possessed the Time Essence. By using the power of time during the battle, he had made it impossible for Li Hao to use the Eye of Time to observe.
"Should we go and help him?"
Gu Xingwan looked at Li Hao, worry evident in her eyes. Every moment inside was a life-and-death trial, and she feared that the person might have already perished.
"No need, he can handle it."
Li Hao shook his head slightly. Although he could no longer see the inside, after witnessing Dilincen's displayed strength, he knew that the ancient demons could not harm him.
Seeing Li Hao's trust in Dilincen, Miao Bu'ai and the other young man also glanced at Li Hao. As friends of the Imperial Clan, if Li Hao said so, they had even less reason to rush in to rescue him.
Moreover, the Nether Realm that the ancient demons had set up in advance was similar to the Human Race's Dao Domain, but even more solid and terrifying. Breaking it would be quite troublesome.
As they waited, outside the True World secret realm, Emperor Chu and the others also witnessed this scene.
"That young Imperial Clan member seems very confident."
"Unfortunately, the reflected images cannot be traced using the power of time to see what's happening inside."
"I saw that young man earlier. He has the shadow of the Nine Sequences; he should be fine."
"Look, the young man from the Ancient God Clan is also going to take on the challenge alone."
The emperors watched the various gatherings of ancient demons in the True World secret realm. In another area, many prodigies had gathered, and the young man from the Ancient God Clan rushed in to attack without intending to join forces with anyone else.
"It seems that these guys are the top-tier True Immortals in this Southern Domain Battle, far surpassing other prodigies."
Emperor Jin shook his head slightly, a hint of regret in his eyes.
Such monsters, their Jin Yun Immortal Dynasty did not have.
Being able to face a hundred was one thing, but to single-handedly deal with hundreds of ancient demons was undoubtedly a sign that someone had reached the limit of the True Immortal Realm.
As they conversed, countless people in the Southern Domain were stunned by these scenes. They had thought that the prodigies inside would face great calamity and that the Heavenly Palace Supreme Sage might intervene to prevent such accidents. Instead, the top geniuses had charged into the ancient demon horde alone.
"Too crazy, they are True Immortals, right?"
"Can the difference between True Immortals be this great?!"
"Both are Tenth Tier True Immortals, but it’s hard for me to even kill one ancient demon, this is just too exaggerated!"
As countless people watched in anticipation, suddenly, an ancient demon gathering place vanished, and a figure emerged from it.
With that scene unfolding, the Southern Domain erupted in excitement.
"My God, what am I seeing?!"
"That, that ancient demon group is gone, all of them are corpses!"
"It seems like it only took a blink of an eye, my God!"
"That, that looks like the Supreme Sage’s Disciple!"
Countless people gazed at the snow-clad young man who had wiped out the ancient demon gathering place, their eyes filled with intense shock.
The young man passed by the ancient demon gathering place and directly flew into the red cloud. When the Dark Nether Realm covered the area, before anyone could react, the Dark Nether Realm dissipated again.
Then, the young man emerged as if nothing had happened, with hundreds of ancient demon corpses behind him!
All of this happened in just a single breath!
Not only did he wipe out the ancient demon gathering place, but it seemed like a bare and naked instant kill!
It was like a True Immortal raising a hand to instantly refine a city of mortals, without the slightest effort.
The Elders and patriarchs of the Immortal Dynasties standing outside the True Immortal Realm also noticed this, their faces freezing in disbelief.
Even the Imperial Clan and the Ancient God Clan’s young men, who were still battling in the ancient demon gathering place, hadn’t finished yet, but the Supreme Sage’s Disciple had already...
"Is, is that real?"
Li Tiemu’s eyes widened, the old man frightened, feeling a mix of fear and uncertainty, suspecting his old eyes were failing him.
Beside him, Great Dream Master’s expression also froze. The young men from the Imperial Clan and the Ancient God Clan were already the ceiling among this batch of prodigies, in her view, even stronger than Li Hao.
But the Supreme Sage’s Disciple was even more impressive!
"Could he be the Dao Source Immortal Seal?"
This terrifying thought surfaced in Great Dream Master’s mind, shocking her, but she quickly shook her head. If he were the Dao Source Immortal Seal, there would be no need to participate in the Southern Domain Battle; he could directly enter the Primordial True Realm, where the Imperial Sovereign would gladly accept him.
"Supreme Sage, your Disciple is truly remarkable!"
In the sky, the empress of the Chi Jiang Immortal Dynasty, wearing snake-shaped earrings, exclaimed in amazement.
"There is a deep Sword Intent residue there, it seems he slew them with a single sword strike."
"What a terrifying Sword Dao."
Emperor Chu and others also nodded in agreement, lavishing praise without hesitation.
Heavenly Palace Supreme Sage merely glanced, his expression remaining calm, and he smiled slightly at the praise from the crowd, saying:
"Just a few hundred ancient demons. If there were thousands, only my disciple would need to step in."
His gaze turned to the young man beside him.
Emperor Chu, the Empress of the Primordial Venerable, and others were taken aback, realizing that the disciple he mentioned earlier was not the young man but likely the two disciples in the secret realm.
Combined with the actions of the snow-clad young man, it was indeed enough to deal with these gathered ancient demons.
"It seems that this Southern Domain Battle will likely be a contest between your two disciples."
Red Territory. The Empress sighed softly.
She saw her Prince standing outside the red cloud, taking no action. While his approach was indeed cautious, it also revealed the vast disparity in strength.
...
At this moment, in the True Immortal Realm.
The Dark Nether Realm dissipated, and Di Lincen stood in the void, his robes slightly disheveled and stained with demon blood. His hair fluttered as he took a few deep breaths, then turned to look at Li Hao, appearing before him in an instant.
The aura of a recent battle still clung to him. Although the immortal seal on his forehead had long since faded, the intimidation of his Imperial bloodline still made Miao Bu'ai and Gu Xingwan, among others, change their expressions slightly.
"That corpse, you can take it. Do you want the dao fire as well?"
He raised his hand, and several dozen orbs of dao fire appeared in his palm.
Seeing so many orbs of dao fire, Miao Bu'ai and the other young man's eyes flickered with surprise.
Although they had already hunted their own dao fire, it was clear from the Imperial Clan’s attitude that if Li Hao wanted it, they would give it to him.
Their friendship must be that deep?
They couldn’t help but look at Li Hao with renewed interest.
Li Hao glanced at the dao fire and shook his head slightly. "I have enough dao fire already. If I need more, I’ll hunt for it. You should keep these."
"I have no use for them."
Di Lincen shook his head, then raised his hand and hurled the dozens of orbs of dao fire into the sky, where they scattered in all directions.
"Whoever wants them can take them."
He finished, then said to Li Hao, "I’m heading back."
"Alright."
Li Hao nodded. After Di Lincen disappeared in an instant, Li Hao wasted no time and quickly arrived at the battlefield, opening a Spatial Rift to collect the corpses scattered around.
Miao Bu'ai looked at the scattered dao fire but didn’t chase after it. His expression was complex. If he encountered this Imperial Clan member in the Arena, he felt it would be best to concede to conserve his strength.
"How could he really handle it alone? Could that guy have a Nine Sequences immortal seal?"
The other young man narrowed his eyes, a deep sense of caution appearing in them.
This battle over, the prodigies from various Immortal Dynasties who had gathered around the red cloud all remembered Di Lincen deeply.
"Let’s go, there’s more over there. We’ll check it out."
After collecting the corpses, Li Hao called out to Lin Qingying and Gu Xingwan.
The two women exchanged glances, still in shock. They hadn’t expected Li Hao’s friend to single-handedly deal with hundreds of ancient demons.
Seeing Li Hao heading to the next red cloud, the two women quickly followed.
When Li Hao arrived at the next red cloud, the battle there had also ended. Shen Wuji was brushing off the remains of demons from his body. Seeing Li Hao arrive, he raised an eyebrow and gave him a look that said, "Don’t forget what you promised me", before turning and disappearing in an instant.
"That guy seems to know you too."
Lin Qingying, with her keen eyes, said to Li Hao.
Li Hao smiled but didn’t elaborate, quickly heading to the battlefield to collect the corpses.
Outside the Secret Realm, many people had noticed Li Hao’s actions, all of them puzzled.
"What’s that guy doing, collecting ancient demon corpses everywhere?"
"He looks like a janitor. If someone didn’t know better, they’d think he was in charge of cleaning this Secret Realm."
"Do those corpses have some kind of treasure?"
"Are you kidding? If there was treasure, others would be collecting them too."
"Maybe it’s just a weird quirk."
The crowd chattered, mocking Li Hao’s peculiar behavior.
As time passed, Li Hao rushed from one ancient demon gathering to the next. Under the red clouds, these gatherings were highly visible, easily spotted from a distance.
However, by the time Li Hao arrived, these areas were already surrounded by people, engaged in fierce battles.
Some were groups of three or five, others were dozens, even hundreds, fighting together.
Li Hao found it convenient and took advantage of the chaos to collect corpses while gathering resources.
As the number of corpses in his Spatial Rift grew, Li Hao’s smile became increasingly radiant.
