Chapter 545: Chaos
Chapter 545: Chaos
Besides his own flesh and blood, Li Hao noticed that in the void surrounding the Imperial Throne, there were terrifying dark currents surging, as if a formidable Immortal Technique was being prepared.
"What's happening?"
At this moment, someone cried out, their face changing.
Li Hao saw that besides himself, the flesh and blood of the others were also peeling off, and some had already turned gray and fallen out.
"The Imperial Throne Rule: If more than ten people are present, it will release the Death Immortal Dao Law, which will continuously intensify until the number of people on the throne is reduced to ten."
The voice of the Celestial Guard Commander echoed.
Hearing this, Li Hao scanned the other Imperial Thrones and saw that the same situation was occurring on them as well.
On two adjacent Imperial Thrones, one was already erupting in chaos, with Immortal Techniques sweeping through and fierce battles raging. On the other, people's flesh and blood were withering, their bodies deteriorating, and they were in a state of shock.
"Damn it, get out!"
Upon hearing the Celestial Guard Commander's words, the first youth to ascend the throne had a sullen expression and shouted at the others.
"Hmph, does this thing follow the rule of first come, first served? I want this spot, and you should be the one to leave!"
"Why argue? The strong stay, the weak are eliminated."
The decay of their bodies and the continuous weakening of their auras made everyone on the Imperial Throne unable to think much more. They all revealed their Immortal Power, unleashing their might.
"Nine Flower Immortal Seal?!"
As their auras were revealed, a brilliant Nine Flower Immortal Seal appeared on the forehead of one of the youths, his Immortal Power extremely formidable. He surveyed his surroundings, immediately intimidating those nearby who were about to attack him.
Li Hao couldn't help but glance at him and noticed that the Dao Resonance emitted by the Nine Flower Immortal Seal was not of the Nine Sequences.
"Get out!"
Two youths, seemingly from the same lineage, charged at another lone youth.
The youth's face changed instantly. He came from a minor Immortal Dynasty's Imperial Clan, and the other contestants had been eliminated earlier, leaving only him to reach this final great battle.
He didn't expect to be targeted as soon as he arrived.
"Attacking with numbers against one?"
Anger flashed in the eyes of the Imperial Clan youth as he unleashed his Immortal Power, and a majestic Dharma Image appeared behind him. The Dharma Image was a standing crocodile with a terrifying head, representing the bloodline power within him, derived from the Wasteland Crocodile Clan, one of the True World Hundred Clans!
According to legend, his ancestor possessed the true energy of the Chaos Crocodile's bloodline and once made the Chaos Crocodile the totem of his race.
Boom!
As soon as the crocodile's Dharma Image appeared, the two youths who were surrounding him also released their Dharma Images, their Immortal Power flowing, all bearing the six-flower immortal seal.
With the two Dharma Images wielding iron chains, they immediately restrained the Wasteland Crocodile's Dharma Image, engaging in a fierce battle with it.
"We want half of these Imperial Throne spots!"
At this moment, another domineering voice echoed, and five figures with noble auras soared into the air, working together to form a black-and-white Dao Domain.
"Yunjin Imperial Clan!"
Seeing these five people, many faces changed, recognizing them as the Yunjin Imperial Clan's renowned Yin-Yang Annihilation Formation!
This was not a Dao Domain but a formation created by the combined bloodline power of the Imperial Clan, mimicking the power of an Immortal King Realm's domain.
It contained the Yin-Yang Annihilation Principle, and the more people building the formation, the stronger the Immortal Dao Law Power became!
As the five of them attacked, two figures in combat were immediately enveloped by their Yin-Yang Annihilation Formation. The Immortal Techniques of these two people dissipated on the spot, and their Immortal Power was greatly weakened.
Boom!
With a wave of one of the Imperial Clan members' hands, a giant palm struck out, instantly slamming the two people off the Imperial Throne.
"Amazing!"
The others all fixed their gazes, their expressions turning grim, not expecting that besides Li Hao, a well-known figure on the Dao Flame List, there was also the Yunjin Imperial Clan here.
"Everyone, let's join forces and take them out, or we'll be picked off one by one!"
Suddenly, someone shouted, calling for a counterattack.
The others, who were already engaged in battle, all had serious expressions, realizing that if they didn't deal with the five people from the Yunjin Immortal Dynasty, at least five spots would be taken.
In an instant, many people joined forces and charged at the five members of the Yunjin Imperial Clan.
Among them, only a few remained inactive, enduring the pain of their flesh and blood peeling off, silently waiting for something.
"Should we join in?"
Yue Xi whispered.
Her once fair and beautiful face was now covered in cracks, with blisters swelling up like lava burns, looking quite frightening.
The bodies of the others were also deteriorating, with some covered in wrinkles. Only Li Hao looked relatively better, though his hair was gradually turning white, and the luster on his body was slowly fading.
Having cultivated to the Divine Blood stage, his body was infused with divine blood, and he possessed one of the supreme immortal bodies in the True Immortal Realm—the Ancestral Immortal Body. As such, his decline was much slower compared to the others.
"Wait here. I'll go."
Li Hao said.
He understood that to keep Lin Qingying, Yue Xi, Gu Yan, and the others on this imperial throne and secure all seven spots, he had to demonstrate the strength to defend it. Otherwise, more people would keep trying to claim this imperial throne.
Whoosh!
As he spoke, Li Hao's figure flickered, and he instantly appeared before a young man at the edge, who was watching the battle.
"Excuse me, please leave."
Li Hao said.
Seeing Li Hao flash before him, the young man's face changed slightly, but his eyes remained fixed on Li Hao. "You're ninth on the Dao Flame List, but in the True Immortal Realm, I just haven't been actively hunting ancient demons. Do you really think you can do anything to me?"
"Excuse me."
Li Hao repeated, offering no explanation or further words. He directly unleashed his Immortal Power.
The Heavenly Stars Vein condensed, and in an instant, boundless Immortal Power surged into his body, restoring his deteriorating state to its original condition.
This death and destruction principle was constantly eroding his body, but it could be countered with Immortal Power, though at a great cost.
However, the Heavenly Stars Vein was not afraid of such consumption. Therefore, even if Li Hao did nothing, he could remain on this imperial throne indefinitely, outlasting the others.
But, that scenario was clearly impossible; no one could endure such a prolonged ordeal.
"Blue Sky!"
As divine light reappeared on his body, Li Hao raised his hand, and his fingertip plucked at the void, as if grasping invisible grains of sand.
In an instant, countless sword shadows materialized and converged into a single, terrifying sword shadow.
Slash!
With the Blue Sky Sword Technique, the void seemed to ripple, revealing a tiny black crack.
The young man before Li Hao had already gathered all his Immortal Power, roaring as an immortal seal appeared on his forehead—the Seven Flower Immortal Seal.
Behind him, his Dharma Image manifested, a four-winged crimson phoenix that raised the surrounding temperature sharply.
"Flame Sun Annihilation!"
The young man roared, his palm forming a spear shadow that thrust toward Li Hao.
The terrifying spear light collided with the sword qi, and in an instant, the scorching spear shadow was severed. The sharp spatial laws integrated into the Blue Sky Sword Technique, enhancing its power to the primordial level.
The sword shadow swept across, splitting the young man's chest in two, his entire body cleaving apart, his eyes filled with disbelief.
The residual power of the sword qi created a vacuum in the air behind him, carrying a devastating, deathly silence.
"You…."
The young man was shocked, furious, and filled with unwillingness.
Li Hao, however, didn't give him a chance to say more. He raised his hand and pushed the young man, whose body was split but not yet dead, off the imperial throne.
Seeing Li Hao spare his life, the young man quickly healed after being sent off the throne, but his expression was complex. He didn't rush back in.
With just one sword, he had been defeated. He knew that if he tried again, the result would be the same.
At this moment, Li Hao, having sent the young man away, turned without a backward glance and approached another woman engaged in battle.
This woman's face was veiled, and her body was deteriorating, with red spots appearing on her neck and her once-glistening white arms now showing wrinkles.
Seeing Li Hao approach, her face changed slightly, and she spoke in a low voice, "I am the Princess of the Tianzhao Imperial Clan. You…."
"Talking about status here is a bit ridiculous, isn't it?"
Li Hao's calm voice interrupted her, and he immediately formed a sword shadow in his palm, looking down at her. "Will you leave on your own, or do I need to make you?"
"You!"
The woman's face changed, feeling deeply insulted. "Don't think you can really win against me!"
Her black hair suddenly flew up, and various ultimate powers were revealed as her aura reached its peak. Her hand moved like a phantom, executing an ancient Immortal Technique.
As a True Immortal and a top genius, an Immortal Technique that required her to use hand techniques was bound to be extremely powerful.
Li Hao, seeing her actions, didn't rush to interrupt. He wanted to gauge the strength of other True Immortal Realm geniuses.
Soon, in less than a breath, the woman's hand movements stopped, and her eyes turned silver.
"That's the Void Divine Eye. My little sister has actually cultivated the Imperial Ancestor Secret Art!"
Outside the imperial throne, someone from the Tianzhao Imperial Clan, who had been eliminated in the previous rounds, changed expression.
The other members of the Tianzhao Imperial Clan also looked at the woman in shock, not expecting her to have such a powerful trump card.
In the Tianzhao Imperial Clan, mastering the Void Divine Eye means one can visit the Clan's Spirit Pavilion to select Imperial Ancestor Combat Techniques. These are the pinnacle of combat techniques, requiring the Void Divine Eye to utilize them effectively.
"Star Annihilation!"
At that moment, Xu Qinyao's eyes turned silver as she stared directly at Li Hao. Behind her, a Dharma Image quietly condensed, forming an Immortal Technique. Her hands came together, fingertips touching, leaving a circular space in the center.
That circle was precisely aimed at Li Hao, and a terrifying Rule Power swept out.
This was already a technique beyond the True Immortal Realm, one that required the power of the Immortal Lord Realm to control.
Li Hao immediately felt his muscles tighten slightly, a sensation of trembling, but not from fear, rather from excitement.
The power of the Five Dao Origins flowed through his body, with the Water Origin Dao and Earth Essence working together to form a nearly impenetrable defense.
The five Dao Images were in a cycle of mutual suppression, continuously repeating. The terrifying Rule Power extended from the void, affecting Li Hao, but before it could annihilate his body, it was reborn, faster and faster, sustained by the endless Immortal Power of the Heavenly Stars Vein. It appeared that Li Hao was unscathed.
"How is this possible?!"
Xu Qinyao's cold smile froze, her eyes widening in disbelief.
"Not bad at all."
Li Hao felt the Rule Power continuously tearing at his body and was somewhat impressed. Indeed, to be able to participate in such a grand battle, any prodigy encountered would have the power to match an Immortal Lord.
This woman could even challenge an Immortal Lord in adverse conditions!
But unfortunately, the spots were limited.
"Sorry."
As Li Hao spoke, he raised his hand, and Sword Qi condensed at his fingertips. However, this time, the Blue Sky Sword Technique alone was not enough. Within the Blue Sky Sword Technique, a golden Divine Light condensed, which was the Sword God Technique.
The two sword arts merged at Li Hao's fingertips, and the Sword Qi's aura alone made the surrounding void ripple.
Whoosh!
The Sword Light suddenly streaked out, instantly severing the woman's Dharma Image and slicing off her head.
"Let's change the place."
Li Hao struck out with his palm, sending both her fallen head and body flying off the Imperial Throne. He left a calm remark and turned around to head to another area.
In his two successive moves, Li Hao did not use lethal force. After all, in his view, they had no grudges or enmities, it was just for fame and profit.
This was the compassion that only the strong could afford to maintain.
"Little sister lost?!"
Seeing this, many members of the Tianzhao Imperial Clan were shocked, never expecting Xu Qinyao, who had cultivated the Void Divine Eye, to lose!
In the Tianzhao Divine Dynasty, people from various immortal cities watching the scene sighed in regret.
"I can join you. Together, we can take down the Yunjin Immortal Dynasty's Imperial Clan."
When Li Hao approached the third observer, the young man spoke as soon as Li Hao appeared.
He had seen Li Hao defeat the Tianzhao Imperial Princess with that terrifying Sword Qi, a cold, icy light on the Imperial Throne that was hard to ignore.
"No need."
Li Hao shook his head and said, "You can leave first. When there are only ten people left, you can choose one to challenge. If you win, you can stay."
Hearing Li Hao's words, the young man was taken aback, his expression changing. Was Li Hao setting the rules for the Imperial Throne?
Only someone who controlled the entire Imperial Throne had the right to establish its rules.
He looked at the young man in front of him, remembering that he was the youngest in terms of soul age among the participants.
A complex expression flashed in his eyes, and after a moment of rapid thought, he nodded. "Alright!"
As he spoke, he turned and flew off the Imperial Throne.
Seeing that Li Hao had not taken action and had persuaded one person to leave, many people were astonished.
At this moment, on the other side, the Yunjin Immortal Dynasty's Imperial Clan had deployed the Yin-Yang Annihilation Formation, covering half of the Imperial Throne, engaging in battle with others.
However, their ranks had increased by two, working together to deal with the others.
One of them was the young man who had previously revealed the Nine Flower Immortal Seal. He had openly displayed the power of his immortal seal to intimidate and avoid unnecessary losses.
Now, he casually assisted the Yunjin Imperial Clan, and with just a slight effort, he cooperated with the Yin-Yang Annihilation Formation to defeat the others one by one.
As the battle continued, the Yunjin Immortal Dynasty added two more people, their Immortal Power thick and their presence formidable.
After sending two more people off the Imperial Throne, Li Hao turned his gaze towards the battle involving the Yunjin Imperial Clan. When he saw that the five members of the Imperial Clan were accompanied by four others, his eyes narrowed slightly.
In the midst of this chaotic battle, the opponent managed to recruit others to join their side, clearly through telepathy. The purpose of this was all too obvious.
Li Hao stopped and watched the scene with a cold gaze.
Soon, everyone else on the Imperial Throne was defeated and expelled, leaving only the Yunjin Imperial Clan and the four people accompanying them.
