Chapter 547: Invincible Fist
Chapter 547: Invincible Fist
When Li Hao stepped forward to meet the challenge, Jin Ziyin and the others narrowed their eyes, surprised by his audacity and arrogance.
"You’re really underestimating us. Yushu, come back!"
Jin Ziyin’s eyes turned cold, and a surging emerald aura enveloped him, radiating the powerful Life Dao power, which carried the essence of the Way of Life.
Though the Way of Life was one of the myriad paths, it ranked just outside the Nine Sequences and was an extremely strong Primordial Dao, surpassing the Sword Dao, Spear Path, and other weapon paths. It belonged to the realm of primordial great ways.
On par with the Life Dao were the Destruction Dao, Thunder Dao, Light Dao, Dark Dao, and others, all ranking just below the Nine Sequences. Mastery of these paths to a profound realm made one a formidable overlord.
Hearing his command, Jin Yushu, who had been battling Gu Yan, flickered and flew back to his side, her aura merging into the great array they had formed.
"Interesting. You actually dare to challenge us nine. Even if you have the confidence to vie for the top ten, you shouldn’t be so reckless."
The young man with the Nine Flower Immortal Seal on his forehead smiled faintly at Li Hao.
He was tall and slender, with his hands behind his back, looking down at Li Hao from high above as if lamenting the fall of a prodigy.
"Junior Brother, come back."
Li Hao ignored the other’s words and only spoke to Gu Yan, who was panting from the chase.
Gu Yan’s expression wavered, but he ultimately obeyed Li Hao, recognizing this “senior brother” from the depths of his heart.
"Qingying, take care of them. I can handle this alone. Otherwise, I might accidentally hurt you."
Li Hao didn’t turn around as he instructed Lin Qingying.
Seeing Li Hao truly intend to fight alone, Yue Xi’s face changed, and she hurriedly said, "Junior Brother, don’t be impulsive. Let’s fight together!"
"A melee would only hinder me."
Li Hao didn’t look back, his tone leaving no room for argument.
Even if Yue Xi and the others joined, it wouldn’t significantly impact the Yin-Yang Destruction Array the opponents had formed. Instead, he would have to divide his attention to protect them.
"This Hao Tian is truly stubborn, refusing to back down even now."
"Finally, a bloodbath. Best if they both suffer heavy losses, giving us a chance to enter without revealing our true strength."
Outside the imperial platform, other contestants watched without rushing in.
They could see that Li Hao and the Jin Dynasty Imperial Clan were bound to clash unless Li Hao backed down. If he did, no one else would have a chance to seize the platform.
What delighted them was that Li Hao had not backed down, leaving an opening for them no matter who won or lost.
"Hmph, so stubborn!"
On the mountain peak, at the Great Dream Nine Abyss Sect, Yin Jingcheng watched the scene with a cold expression.
Seeing the young man’s show of bravado, he felt a twinge of displeasure.
"This isn’t a wise choice. If he had negotiated with the Jin Dynasty Imperial Clan, perhaps they could have given him three spots. The young swordsman could have entered the top hundred."
Beside him, Meng Huaiyue observed, disapproving of Li Hao’s impulsiveness. If Li Hao lost, the sect might not even secure a spot in the top hundred during this imperial platform contest.
Hearing the two disciples’ words, the Great Dream Master remained silent, feeling a strange, indescribable sensation, mostly concern for Li Hao.
For some reason, the young man’s choice didn’t surprise her.
Perhaps it was due to their interactions in the Dream Realm over the past few months, or their everyday exchanges. She had come to understand his temperament quite well.
"Whether he wins or loses, any performance that stands out will uphold the sect’s honor!"
The Great Dream Master spoke softly, her gaze fixed on the young man on the imperial platform. "He’s done enough. Even if he loses, it won’t be a disgrace."
Hearing the Master’s words, Yin Jingcheng and Meng Huaiyue were taken aback, feeling a sense of unfamiliarity as they looked at her back.
"Kid, you better give it your all..."
Far away in the Yan Chu territory, atop the Sword Abyss of the Nine Depths of the Great Dream, Abyss Lord Yun Wumian gazed at the scene reflected above, his eyes glowing with a profound light.
"Hmph, thinking he can break the Yin-Yang Destruction Array single-handedly. What a fool!"
On the mountain peak, in the Yun Jin Immortal Dynasty, the elegant Jin Fengling, dressed in a luxurious golden robe, crossed his arms and watched the young man on the imperial platform, a sneer on his lips.
Beside him, a graceful and ethereal woman looked at him and asked, "Fengling, do you know that young man?"
"Just a reckless fool."
Thinking of his failed attempt to obtain the Divine Tree Dao Fruit in the Origin Secret Realm, Jin Fengling’s eyes grew even colder.
Unfortunately, the other wasn’t at the Immortal Lord Realm, so there was no chance to face him in this great battle. Otherwise, he would have crushed him on the arena.
However, the sect behind the young man had caught his attention. The sect had three Immortal Lord Realm contestants, but their auras suggested they had only recently ascended to that realm. He would make them pay for the young man’s actions and vent his frustration.
"It seems the show will start earlier than expected."
In the mist, the Jin Emperor smiled.
Emperor Chu remained calm, his gaze fixed on Li Hao, and he said calmly, "Fighting many with few, even if he loses, he’s still a fine warrior!"
"Fighting many with few isn’t the only option. Recklessness doesn’t make a true prodigy."
The Jin Emperor chuckled, having initially been impressed by Li Hao’s performance but now viewing his challenge to his children as an underestimation of the Yun Jin Immortal Dynasty’s Imperial Clan array.
Emperor Chu didn’t respond, knowing that empty words were meaningless.
"Everyone else is just a burden. What is he thinking, being so impulsive!"
In the Yan Chu Imperial Clan on the mountain peak, Chu Yueli had been closely watching Li Hao. Seeing him defeat several prodigies on the imperial platform, she felt a mix of joy and pride. However, his current decision made her face turn grim.
If Li Hao didn’t even make it to the top hundred, it would be a disgrace!
Chu Tianhuang and Boya Xuejian watched the scene, their expressions unreadable.
On the imperial platform, as Jin Yushu returned, Jin Ziyin immediately activated the Yin-Yang Destruction Array, enveloping half of the platform!
Since Li Hao had asked the others not to participate, it was a good thing for them. The young man with the Ancient Sword Immortal Body, though unassuming, had surprised everyone. It saved them the trouble of dealing with any more unexpected threats.
"Attack!"
Jin Ziyin’s voice rang out, and a green aura enveloped the others. The antlers on his head grew more prominent, making him resemble a scornful divine deer emperor.
Three other members of the Yun Jin Imperial Clan joined the attack, and Jin Yushu, after a brief adjustment, followed closely behind.
The young man with the Nine Flower Immortal Seal and three others also seized the opportunity to engage Li Hao. Though the Dao Fire List ranking ninth wasn’t a definitive measure of strength, they were curious about his true abilities, and facing him would be a valuable experience.
"Red Candle, Black Annihilation!"
The young man with red scales on his face revealed a murderous intent, summoning a crimson dragon phantom that emitted a dark green aura. In his hand, a crimson divine saber formed, charged with fire dao origin power, and he lunged at Li Hao.
The saber was infused with a profound origin realm, reaching the fourth level!
Behind him, Jin Yushu activated the Divine Art of Eternal Descent, a secret technique of the Ancient God Clan. It carried the power of ancient gods, rumored to surpass ten thousand dao lights in the True World.
Behind them, the young man with the Nine Flower Immortal Seal activated his immortal seal, revealing nine rotating wheels, each representing a different Primordial Dao power. A light wheel appeared behind him, with nine long swords embedded in it.
On the immortal seal, the Sword Dao was the primary path, with the other great daos as auxiliaries, all harmonizing with the Sword Dao and merging into it.
"Immortal Technique, Moon Winter!"
The young man with the Nine Flower Immortal Seal whispered, unleashing one of the Ten Great Immortal Techniques, a top-tier Sword Dao technique: Moon Winter!
The nine sword lights on the light wheel reflected the essence of the moon, coalescing into a crescent-shaped sword of moonlight, which descended upon Li Hao.
Simultaneously, the other three also unleashed their top-tier Immortal Techniques, all part of the Ten Great Immortal Techniques.
The sky was filled with murderous intent, and the scene was like the collapse of heaven and earth, enveloping half the imperial platform in a death zone from which no one could escape!
Seeing this, many faces turned pale, and in the Southern Domain’s immortal cities, countless people gasped in shock.
Such a terrifying spectacle was hard to believe was a True Immortal Realm confrontation. Even an Immortal Lord Realm would struggle to survive the combined attack of the Yun Jin Imperial Clan and the four others, unless they were a high-ranking Immortal Lord!
"Junior Brother!"
"Senior Brother!"
Yue Xi and Gu Yan both paled, hurriedly trying to step forward. But a figure in green blocked their path—Lin Qingying. Her expression was grave, more tense than anyone else, but she chose to trust Li Hao.
At this moment, behind Li Hao, the Heavenly Stars Vein shone with a tangible brilliance. The surging, condensed meridians seemed like a star map, with Immortal Power pouring into Li Hao's body like a funnel.
In an instant, a storm of Immortal Power centered around his body, swirling like a hurricane. The vast and overwhelming Immortal Power made everyone on the other Imperial Platforms take notice, their eyes drawn to the spectacle.
"The Heavenly Stars Vein, to cultivate the Circulating Heaven Ultimate Limit—truly remarkable insight."
A sect elder murmured, marveling.
"To reach the Second Ultimate Realm in the True Immortal Realm—indeed, quite rare."
In the Southern Domain, a powerful figure from a secret realm observed the scene and chuckled, "Unfortunately, this talent is monstrous. He might not be willing to join my sect."
The Southern Domain Battle was a reflection of the True World's Southern Region, drawing countless prodigies from various territories. Beyond seeking fame, they also aimed to gain the favor of great masters and join their ranks.
Though they originally came from various Heavenly Sects, these were not necessarily the best destinations. Outside the Heavenly Sects, many powerful figures, just a step below Immortal Emperors, roamed freely, not founding sects but possessing supreme secret techniques. If one could join their ranks and receive true teachings, the benefits would be immeasurable.
"Divine Blood, Heaven-Earth Meridian, and two of the Ten Ultimate Limits—truly impressive."
Empress Yuanzun whispered from the clouds.
Earlier, in the True Immortal Realm, she had already sensed the extraordinary nature of this young man.
"Mastering all ten realms would make one a Half-Step Emperor. He's already one-fifth of the way there!"
Emperor Tianzhao whispered. His daughter had just been defeated by Li Hao, but he harbored no resentment toward the young man. These were merely contests among the younger generation, trivial matters that didn't stir true emotions.
Upon hearing his words, the other emperors narrowed their eyes.
What they casually discussed was a shocking secret to the outside world.
No one knew that to transcend the Immortal King Realm and touch the Immortal Emperor's domain, one must first cultivate the Ten Realms to their Ultimate Limits!
These Ten Realms spanned from Force Mastery to the Sage Realm!
Initially, none of these realms had Ultimate Limits. It was the Immortal Emperors of the past who discovered and broke through these limits, elevating the life levels of the True World's myriad races, allowing them to cultivate from the Ultimate Realm to the Ultimate Limit.
This was a groundbreaking achievement of the Immortal Emperors, earning them the eternal respect and loyalty of the True World's myriad races.
As they conversed, on the Imperial Platform, the Immortal Power hurricane swirled, with Li Hao's power continuously manifesting at its center.
Various Ultimate Powers emerged at this moment.
Divine Power, Soul Spirit, Heaven and Earth Dharma Image, Emulate Heaven and Earth Physical Body, and Transcend to Immortality, Eternal Dao Domain!
The Hearing Dao Ultimate Realm, Dao Ancestor, Sage Ultimate Realm, and Heavenly Dao Infant!
Except for the Return to the Abyss and Eternal and Indestructible Ultimate Realms, which could not be directly displayed, Li Hao mobilized all ten Ultimate Powers.
The True World's Immortal Power infused Li Hao, enhancing his Transcend to Immortality power to an even more terrifying level. His body merged with Heaven and Earth, with the Imperial Platform, and he faintly sensed a distant consciousness within Heaven and Earth.
This was the Ultimate Limit of Transcend to Immortality, the Celestial Sovereign!
With this trace of Celestial Sovereign Will, Li Hao's entire aura became majestic and fierce, like an ancient emperor breaking through the void, drawing all surrounding Immortal Power into his body.
His body expanded to a hundred zhang, even in the condensed form of the Emulate Heaven and Earth Physical Body, matching the size of the Heaven and Earth Dharma Image behind him, towering like two giants, overlooking the nine members of the Yun Clan.
As various Immortal Techniques approached, Li Hao raised his hand, clenching it into a fist.
At this moment, he thought of his Second Uncle and his famous secret technique, the Half-Step Invincible Fist!
Do not be too eager, for it is in holding back that true invincibility lies!
"Break it!"
Li Hao's golden hair flew wildly, the power of the Divine Blood Ultimate Limit unleashed, his Physical Body's strength increasing dozens of times. Combined with the Ancestor Immortal Body, his punch exploded outward, causing a terrifying sonic boom in the void, as if a hole had been punched through Heaven and Earth!
The deafening sound drowned out the various Immortal Techniques and the sounds of the battle on the Imperial Platform!
The Half-Step Invincible Fist, already refined to its true essence in Li Hao's current Dao Realm, had truly become half-step invincible.
Fist is Dao, Dao is fist. This punch contained spatiotemporal power, condensing the forces of the past and future, merging three punches into one, like a roaring fire meteor, smashing out!
"How is this possible?!"
Jin Yushu's pupils contracted. The divine power she wielded, the falling golden divine spear, was compressed into a faint illusion, rippling!
The three other Immortal Techniques from the Yun Clan, facing Li Hao's punch, shattered into pieces, the Immortal Technique phenomena dissipating like smoke blown away!
The sword light from the Nine Flower Immortal Seal youth's Moon Winter Immortal Technique, curved and graceful, was shattered by the punch!
Boom!!
The explosive power gouged a black scar in the Imperial Platform's void, instantly annihilating the various Immortal Techniques, shattering their radiance.
Li Hao's hundred-zhang figure, like a deity defying the ancient era, took a step forward, causing the Imperial Platform to rumble. He charged at the nine, delivering a second punch!
In a distant immortal city within the Yan Chu territory, a group of figures watched the young man on the Imperial Platform, their eyes wide with shock.
One white-bearded elder's eyes suddenly turned bloodshot, his mouth dry. The young man's Fist Dao, though surpassing the level of the secret technique he had created, still bore its traces. How could he not recognize it?
"My Fist Technique..."
He never imagined that a secret technique he had created in the Mortal World would one day be displayed in the True World, under the gaze of countless races, suppressing the True World's prodigies!
Pfft!
Several figures flew back, Jin Yushu and the other four Yun Clan members all retreating, their immortal bodies covered in cracks.
While defending against the death laws of the Imperial Platform, they also had to withstand such a fierce Fist Dao, suffering heavy injuries on the spot.
"My Immortal Technique..."
The youth from the Nine Flower Immortal Seal clan's face changed. His Immortal Technique had been shattered by Li Hao's punch.
It wasn't just the overwhelming power of the punch but the extreme spatiotemporal power within it. Li Hao had mastered the two highest sequences of the Nine Sequences and reached a profound level!
"What a powerful punch!"
On the mountain, countless spectators watched the scene, unable to contain their shock and admiration.
