If reaching the ultimate state of immortal transformation, yet also being undying, what kind of martial arts state would that be?
Or rather, can that even still be called martial arts?
Li Hao retracted his thoughts, feeling the immense power brought by the Heaven and Earth Vein.
His control over power was no longer limited to the major veins within his body, but the external world was his invisible body.
This is the Heaven and Earth Vein.
While the power he bore greatly increased, it also meant his endurance was stronger, allowing him to unleash more peak moves without restraint, and even to cultivate even more extreme and vicious techniques.
In addition, this Heaven and Earth Vein has another benefit, which is the ability to absorb the power of the surrounding heaven and earth, continually refining the body.
With constant refining, the improvement brought to the Three Immortal Realms is extremely clear.
The self-healing of the Undying Realm and the treasure body of the Indestructible Realm are both judged based on the strength of the refined body.
Even within the Three Immortal Realms, the self-healing ability and the strength of the treasure body differ greatly, depending on the level of refinement.
Li Hao originally cultivated many Body Refining Skills, and had deduced them to surpass the extraordinary grade, even reaching the Peerless True State level, his body was already refined to an extremely exaggerated strength.
Therefore, with a body in the Three Immortal Realms, he could also grapple and collide hard with the Demon King of the Four Stands Realm.
But now, his body could be refined once again.
If he could refine it to a certain limit, perhaps, he could open up the extreme state of the Three Immortal Realms!
Just the extreme state of the Zhou Tian Realm alone is such a powerful effect of the Heaven and Earth Vein, Li Hao is very much looking forward, if the Three Immortal Realms reach the limit, what kind of state would that bring?
…
Standing on the peak of a mountain, Li Hao began his cultivation practice.
Previously, in the Tianji Tower, besides the Meridian Opening Skill, there were also Qi Circulation Skills, as well as many Body Refinement Techniques, swordsmanship, and so on.
Li Hao practiced and trained in each of them one by one.
When he cultivated the Body Refining Techniques, his whole body, like a collapsing pit, began crazily absorbing the power between heaven and earth.
Guided by the Heaven and Earth Vein, Li Hao’s body was rapidly refined, his self-healing ability became stronger, and the treasure body of his flesh became even more fearsome.
As he cultivated, Li Hao’s very being faintly glowed with surrounding lightning and flames, a phenomenon that only appeared when the body was condensed to an extremely terrifying degree.
Feng Boping, watching from a distance, could not even concern himself with drinking, his gaze fixed upon the scene, his heart filled with indescribable shock.
He’d watched Li Hao break through and grow time and time again, but each time, it seemed to shatter his expectations.
He had a feeling that this young man before him would become the strongest being in the history of the Dayu Divine Dynasty, surpassing all other strong entities!
Even the real person of the Gan Tao Palace could not bring him such a strong shock.
Through the cultivation of many Body Refining Techniques, as Li Hao refined his body, thunder, fire, and electric light emerged amidst the surroundings of heaven and earth, like the natural pressure release from blood and flesh being compressed and condensed to the utmost, incredibly terrifying.
Such a bizarre spectacle, even the well-travelled Feng Boping, was seeing it for the first time.
After all the Body Refinement Techniques had been cultivated, Li Hao carefully felt it out, his muscles containing the terrifying power of hundreds of True Dragons.
He suspected that, at this moment, probably even the Dragon Soar Sword could not cut through his flesh.
But at this moment, since the Dragon Soar Sword was in the courtyard and not brought with him, Li Hao had no way to try it.
Moreover, if he were to try, he would have to turn off that “Yellow Sparrow Diagram’s” 1% lethal attack attribute.
Otherwise, if by chance he struck it lucky, and a light flick triggered that attribute, that would be truly spectacular.
Usually, when not in combat, he mostly kept that attribute turned off.
After all, sometimes even touching others could be considered an attack.
If he casually patted someone on the shoulder, giving a greeting, and ended up patting them to death, it would be too late for regret.
Li Hao did not stop, and continued to cultivate his various sword and fist techniques.
On the mountain peak, wondrous phenomena abounded.
The figure of the young man was practicing alone, with only the movements of heaven and earth, accompanied by wind and thunder.
Dusk fell, and the bright moon rose into the sky.
Stars cast their glow, and time quietly passed by.
…
…
The dawn’s early light shone over the land.
A figure flew swiftly through the world, breathing in the moist air of the morning mist, whistling past.
“Tianji Palace?”
Suddenly, on the path straight ahead, where he was passing, there was a Bird Demon waiting, transformed into a little girl with an emerald green dress, delicate and exquisitely crafted.
Seeing the little girl, the old man in the dark purple robe frowned slightly and paused.
Knowing that the other party had deliberately waited there, there must have been intelligence to convey.
This Tianji Palace could transmit messages through the mysterious sound whistle, combined with closely arranged intelligence points along the way, the speed of message delivery was even faster than the pace of someone from the Ultimate Study Realm traveling.
“I’ve met Lord Lu Yuan!”
The little girl said respectfully, “The elder commanded me to wait here especially to pass a message to you.”
“Speak.”
“Yesterday, the East-West Territory had already been breached, but Liangzhou has set up a second line of defense with a hundred cities and noble families rushing to gather there.”
“In addition, that Li Tian Gang has issued the Eight Directions Order, calling for reinforcements from all sides, which might result in the arrival of elders from the Divine General Mansion.”
“The Dayu Royal Family has already dispatched troops, and Mount Wuliang has sent forth a Bodhisattva to save the world. As for the movements of the real person from Gan Tao Palace, it is still unclear.”
The young girl narrated in detail but with rapid speed, concisely explaining the current situation in Liangzhou.
She then continued:
“Currently, there are calls for help coming from in front of the second defensive line, hoping that Lord Lu Yuan will go there to quickly destroy the formation as the situation there has become stalemated…”
“Stalemated?”
Lu Yuan was taken aback and said, “Could it be that the Great Void Realm is holding back? At such a time, are they still unwilling to charge?”
“To report back to Lord Lu, Ms. Yin has been blocked by the Great Desert Sword Saint and failed to pursue and kill Li Tian Gang.”
The girl’s subservient demeanor did not change: “Mainly, the young general’s battle banner rushed to the battlefield, with each battle banner containing a terrifying Sword Array, comparable to the attacks of the Tao Heart Realm, which you already know.”
“Additionally, there’s just been an update; the Sword Array contains fearsome attacks that can instantly kill a person, even those in the Defying Fate Realm can’t block it and only by using a second life can one escape.”
“Hmm?”
Lu Yuan was slightly stunned, a hidden move that even the Defying Fate Realm can’t withstand?
What kind of formation was this? Although the Dayu Divine Dynasty had formations capable of suppressing the Defying Fate Realm, they were all in the Holy Imperial City; how could they appear here?
Let alone condensed into a small battle banner.
“Did that young man go as well?”
“No, he’s still at Heavenly Gate Pass.”
“Since it’s so, I’ve already come this far, then I might as well take care of that Human Race youngster first.”
Lu Yuan sneered, “I want to see for myself how extraordinary this youngster really is, touted as a once-in-a-millennium genius? Hmph, I’ve lived for ten thousand years, and the first emperor of the Dayu Divine Dynasty, who possessed strange powers and waged wars in all directions, did not have as mysterious a reputation as this kid!”
The little girl, upon hearing this, could only lower her head, not saying a word.
Her duty was only to relay information; she didn’t dare to speak out of turn or even offer a suggestion, as she had no right to do so.
Lu Yuan said, “Tell them I’ll be there shortly, and when I arrive, I’ll bring the body of that junior with me to throw onto the formation, to let their Human Race see how easily their so-called genius collapses!”
“Yes.”
The little girl nodded compliantly.
Lu Yuan immediately continued to hurry forward.
Before long, he laid eyes on an extensive ancient path.
He knew that this ancient road was called Dragon Pass Road, and it was blazed by the Li Family’s ancestors following the first emperor.
At this moment, the ancient road was empty and desolate, with only an uncollected teahouse remaining.
He glanced at it and flew straight past.
Soon enough, he arrived at the end of the Dragon Pass Road, in front of Cangya City.
At this moment, dawn had just broken, lifting the black veil over the sky above the city, and life and vitality had returned within.
On the roads, many shopkeepers began selling breakfast, and this peaceful and bustling scene was all observed by Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan let out a cold chuckle, sweeping his gaze around, only to see the city walls bristling with battle banners.
He was familiar with these battle banners, which now caused a trace of seriousness to flash through his eyes.
Nonetheless, he didn’t believe that all these banners were specially made. If each banner could unleash that Sword Array, wouldn’t that be preposterous?
Boom!
He raised his hand, suddenly bearing down.
Upon the city walls, the City-Protecting Formation lit up abruptly, triggered automatically.
The explosive trembling sound awakened the entire city, with a thunderclap-like vibration shaking the ground.
The soldiers patrolling the walls immediately noticed the stealthily appearing figure, showing shock and awe; instantly, the war horn was sounded, and the city went into a state of battle readiness!
Watching the flickering divine inscriptions on the formation, Lu Yuan sneered. A mere Five-Star Mysterious Formation, he thought, would be swept away in the blink of an eye!
Boom!
He raised his palm again, thundering it down as though dragon claws were shaking and plummeting.
The array violently trembled as five Demon Souls of the Three Immortal Realms burst forth, roaring towards Lu Yuan.
But Lu Yuan simply glared slightly, and the five Demon Souls were subdued on the spot, daring not to move.
The gap between their realms was too vast; the ancient True Dragon aura on Lu Yuan naturally instilled fear in other demons.
Lu Yuan snorted coldly, then raised his hand again, ready to strike with the third palm.
But at that moment, a sharp, clear cry, like a low chant, suddenly came speeding from deep within the city.
Piercing through the array, a sword cleaved through the air!
In almost an instant, it slashed towards Lu Yuan’s palm.
Lu Yuan’s eyes slightly raised, and facing the red-gold sword light, dark scales covered his palm. He did not dodge or evade but instead grasped directly at the sword edge.
Hiss hiss!
The force of the Sword Qi, powerful as ten thousand jun, merely lifted Lu Yuan’s hair, as the sword edge and his palm sparked with jarring thunderous sparks.
Those dark scales, like a Divine Weapon, remained unscathed after a series of frictions, and even managed to grasp the Dragon Soar Sword!
“A mere Divine Weapon…”
Lu Yuan smirked coldly, just as he was about to exert force to snap and destroy the Divine Sword, the blade suddenly burst into a dragon’s roar, and the True Dragon Sword Soul charged out, followed by the Black Bird Demon King and the Ten Thousand Caverns Ghost Mother’s Demon Souls.
At this moment, their Demon Souls were all dominated by the True Dragon Sword Soul, losing their original memories and consciousness, leaving only the obsession to protect the sword.
Roar!
The Dragon Soul growled, showing no fear of Lu Yuan’s dragon might, it spewed out a river of Sword Qi, bombarding him with it.
The Black Bird Demon King and the Ten Thousand Caverns Ghost Mother also used their strongest Demon Arts, transforming countless wings into a storm heading to shred Lu Yuan.
Gusts of ghostly wind emerged from the body of the Ten Thousand Caverns Ghost Mother, darkening the sky, turning into myriad ghostly shadows, coalescing into a huge dark figure with an indistinct face, raising its hand to suppress Lu Yuan as if intending to shatter the ground beneath him as well.
The three Demon King Sword Souls took action simultaneously, unleashing terrifying might that far surpassed the five Demon Souls within the array.
Lu Yuan’s eyes narrowed as he stared at the True Dragon Sword Soul, and he snorted coldly,
“After I shatter this sword, I’ll release you, so you won’t be enslaved by the Human Race.”
It seemed he recognized the True Dragon Sword Soul from its past life, and now his arms transformed, covered with dragon scales, suddenly condensing into fists, lashing out one after another.
The shadowy hand striking down was shattered by the thousands of fist shadows he swung out, dissipating the gloomy shadows in the sky.
The storm formed by the countless killing wings was blasted apart by his roar, and he charged straight forward, swimming up the river of Sword Qi emitted by the True Dragon Sword Soul.
These Sword Qi did not hit him but were instead isolated by a special Gang Qi.
He walked up the reverse flow of the sword river, and with a punch, he smashed out, dragging along the Sword Qi with a collapsing force, shattering many of them, and landed a punch on the True Dragon Sword Soul.
The Sword Soul let out a mournful cry, its body trembled, and it flew back into the Dragon Soar Sword.
And in an instant, Lu Yuan’s body had arrived in front of the Dragon Soar Sword, his hands tightly gripping the blade.
Just as he tried to break the Divine Weapon, his eyes shifted slightly, and he turned to look aside.
There, a young figure emerged from the void, walking from outside the city.
His steps were slow, but he exuded an off-worldly presence, seemingly blending with the surrounding environment.
With each step, he covered a distance of more than a dozen miles.
Within a few steps, he stood not far from Lu Yuan.
They looked at each other, and Lu Yuan’s gaze hardened. Sensing the aura emanating from the youth, and combining it with the intelligence he had received, there was no doubt: the other party was the target he had come to eliminate.
That aberration of the Human Race.
“Three Immortal Realms…”
Lu Yuan felt the youth’s aura, his eyes narrowing slightly. Such a young age and yet in the Three Immortal Realms – if cast amongst demons, this was definitely a reincarnation level of an ancient Demon King.
But still.
No matter how high his talent is, it’s as good as nothing before absolute power.
He sneered, feeling the pleasure of personally strangling a peerless demon that surpassed devouring a million people.
“You’ve been waiting outside the city, instead of hurrying into the array. Kid, you’re very brave.”
Lu Yuan said with a light laugh.
He spoke as a jovial old man would when chatting with the neighbor’s child.
“Daring to come here alone, you’re very brave as well.”
Li Hao similarly smiled.
Though he was smiling, his heart was heavy.
He could feel the terrifying power within the opponent that was restrained like an abyss. There was no doubt that this Demon King surpassed any he had faced before, and it was very likely that Lu Yuan was in the same realm as his second uncle, the Ultimate Study Realm!
Entering the Ultimate Study Realm, every Demon King had their own ultimate killing move.
Moreover, these moves could only display their full power in conjunction with their martial realm. Even if others learned them, and cultivated them to perfection or even to the real state level, it would be difficult to unleash that power.
“At such a young age, you have no regard for anyone. Let’s see if your mouth is as hard as your sword!”
Lu Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he chuckled coldly.
He suddenly exerted force with his palm, attempting to crush the Dragon Soar Sword.
Despite the strange feeling that the youth before him brought, a feeling that no other in the Three Immortal Realms had caused, he had already experienced the power of Sword Control, which was nothing special.
It was stronger than normal Three Immortal Realms, but facing the Four Stands Realm, even the Defying Fate Realm could easily suppress it.
He couldn’t understand why such a person could cause havoc outside the barrier, causing those in the Defying Fate Realm to flee in terror.
Hum!
At this moment, as he exerted force, the Dragon Soar Sword in his hand suddenly started vibrating.
A powerful force for controlling objects suddenly acted upon the blade.
Dazzling golden light burst forth, and in this moment, the Dragon Soar Sword was taken over by Li Hao himself, no longer controlled by his dark clone.
With a swoosh, the blade suddenly surged with sharp Sword Qi, instantly tearing through the dragon scales on Lu Yuan’s palm, withdrawing quickly like a mudfish and rapidly slipping from his grip!
The withdrawn sword burst into a dragon’s roar, and the just-wounded True Dragon Sword Soul, now receiving Li Hao’s immense power, quickly recovered. Its true form emerged, erupting with a roar that pierced the heavens.
Lu Yuan’s complexion changed slightly. He opened his palm, glanced at the cracked scale on his palm, and his eyes slowly darkened.
Afterward, an icy murderous intent surfaced in his eyes.
At this moment, he finally realized where that bizarre feeling emanating from the young man originated.
The other party had been concealing his skill!
To think he dared to conceal his skill in the face of him!
Lu Yuan turned to stare at Li Hao, indifferent to the imposing True Dragon Sword Soul, and said coldly, “It seems you’re more outstanding than I thought.”
“You talk too much.”
Li Hao raised his hand and beckoned, and the Dragon Soar Sword flipped through the void, drawing a series of sword arcs before shooting out again.
Its speed of breaking through the air was far greater than before, tenfold!
It almost instantly killed its way over, the raging wind it dragged along pulling the clouds in the entire sky, lifting the dust from the ground hundreds of feet below.
Purple light flickered in Lu Yuan’s eyes as he suddenly struck with his palm, thunder light exploding from his palm, thousands of thunderbolts shooting out, striking the sword body, dispelling its sharp aura, then his palm reached out again forcefully.
But Dragon Soar vibrated, repelling his fingers the moment they touched it, and then swiftly rotated, slicing into his chest.
The sword light broke through the Gang Qi on his body, pierced his clothes, but only rubbed off a spark on his chest.
Dragon scales appeared on Lu Yuan’s chest under his human skin, not pretending anymore. Although he was not injured, his eyes contained a burning anger.
His body emanated steaming purple Qi, and he struck out with a fierce palm. Purple lightning thundered around him, bombarding down like a thunder prison, striking the Dragon Soar Sword, while a massive palm print, accompanied by thunderous fire, suppressed the sword.
With a loud thud, the Dragon Soar Sword was locked in, smacked away and flew dozens of miles, piercing through a mountain.
Then it turned into a gold light, whistling back, heading for Lu Yuan once more.
The sword spirits of the three Demon Kings entwined together, adding to the sword, causing its power to surge, the aura of destruction soaring to the skies.
Lu Yuan struck out with his palms in succession, palm prints bombarding continuously, thunder lights encircled the heavens, shaking the ground outside the array to crack.
The sword light and palm prints fought and annihilated each other, a terrifying aura scattering in all directions, striking the array and stirring up ripples of divine runes.
On the battlements, countless soldiers gathered, unable to intervene, merely watching this dizzying and mesmerizing great battle with wide eyes.
All kinds of family scions had gathered; they had come here to pay a visit to Li Hao, but this was the first time they saw the legendary young man fight in person.
Previously, Li Hao had slain fifty thousand demons with a single sword strike, where they saw his sword but not him, leading some to secretly conjecture that it might be someone else.
But at this moment, that young man stood outside the array, fighting with this fearsome Demon King, leaving many who were envious and maliciously guessing speechless and utterly astounded.
Boom!
Suddenly, Lu Yuan slammed down with a palm, striking directly on the Dragon Soar Sword, causing much of its divine light to scatter.
His palm had turned into a dragon’s claw, and dragon scales appeared on his face and neck; he had undergone Semi-Demonization.
He was angry in his heart, not expecting that a mere Three Immortal Realms expert could resist him so easily, forcing him to use his true power.
Seeing the Dragon Soar Sword about to strike again, he took a deep breath, no longer holding back, and immediately unleashed his Peerless Technique, intending to swiftly execute his opponent and then slaughter the city to quell his rage.
He raised his claws, and the sky filled with gathering storm clouds.
Amid the low atmospheric pressure, a gale picked up between heaven and earth.
Seemingly, thunder rumbled faintly from the clouds.
“Limitless Thunder Tao!”
Lu Yuan’s eyes turned icy cold, and he abruptly raised his hand, pulling countless bolts of lightning from the clouds, as if pulling out a thunder sword from the mist!
The lightning exploded, flashing under his control, and struck down towards Li Hao.
Li Hao’s gaze turned serious, and suddenly, with a twist of his palm, the Dragon Soar Sword burst forth with a surge of sword might, gathering countless Sword Qi like a fine rain, swiftly firing away.
This was a sword technique he had created through melding various swordsmanships together over a single night of cultivation.
Sword Extreme of the Ages.
There were a total of four styles, and this was the first, Spring Rain.
These Sword Qi contained a strange power, not merely a killing move, but possessing significant Penetration Power, permeating the opponent’s body.
Compared to the Sword Tide, its Penetration Power was doubled.
But that bolt of lightning came hurling, and in an instant, countless Sword Qi shattered, and moreover, the lightning followed the Sword Qi disturbance, spreading at an even faster pace.
Li Hao’s pupils contracted; this lightning could actually conduct along the Sword Qi, seemingly enveloping the nearby heaven and earth, arriving with a thought.
Was this the power of the Ultimate Study Realm?
Compared to his opponent’s Peerless Technique, his own sword moves seemed somewhat immature.
Li Hao instantly transformed, the sword light flaring like the blazing sun, fiercely shining forth, striking directly at that thunderous force.
With a loud bang, the sword light shattered, and the lightning exploded into a blinding light, with a mournful cry from within the Dragon Soar Sword.
“Die!”
Lu Yuan’s gaze turned icy, confident that any technique, in the face of his Peerless Technique Limitless Thunder Tao, would be destroyed.
Just then, a sudden cold gleam struck.
Lu Yuan’s complexion changed slightly as he saw a gray silhouette coming at him, stabbing directly at his spinal cord from behind.
“Get lost!”
He roared in anger, already aware that there was someone from the Four Stands Realm secretly protecting the young man, but he hadn’t expected that he would not notice how the other had approached so close.
At this moment, his entire body’s strength erupted, causing dragon scales to tremble and spew out scorching gusts of air as he raised his hand and smashed down fiercely.
A sharp, piercing sound rang out, and the one who struck was Feng Boping, but when his attack hit the opponent’s spine, he froze, as if he had struck godly iron.
No wonder Li Hao’s Dragon Soar Sword couldn’t injure the enemy at all, not even the divine weapon forged five times in his hand could break the defense!
In that flash of lightning, a terrifying claw struck down in response.
Feng Boping hastily raised his hand, quickly withdrawing, and yet his forearm was still shaken by the claw, with a bolt of lightning transmitting through, causing his entire body to stiffen and convulse, flinging him backward.
“Feng!”
Li Hao’s expression changed instantly, but as the exploding thunder sword assaulted him, he let out a roar, with an air stream swirling around his body, transforming into Gang Qi, while at the same time, the phantom of the Immovable Ming King emerged behind him.
Boom Boom Boom!
Li Hao threw punch after punch, locked in by the lightning’s aura, unable to dodge, he could only brace for impact!
Behind him, the phantom of the Immovable Ming King raised its hand as well, and from the phantom’s armpits, six additional arms stretched out, a total of eight hands furiously pounding down.
Boom!
The burst of lightning exploded, and Li Hao’s body flew backwards.
The moment his fist touched the lightning, he felt successive bolts forcing his body into uncontrollable convulsions and stiffness.
This was the enemy’s peerless technique, which not only had terrifying destructive power but could also make a person’s body rigid, effectively leaving them only able to stand and take blows.
Li Hao climbed up from the ground, his clothing ripped into strips, but the vital parts were heavily guarded by his protective powers, so the fabric did not completely shatter.
He checked his fist and found it scorched black, the skin split open and flesh burst.
But within these brief moments, the blackened cracks visibly healed, the dead skin shed away, returning to its original state.
Li Hao stepped forward, seeing Lu Yuan chasing after Feng, and immediately used the Heaven and Earth Traceless Skill to quickly pursue.
“Hmm?”
Seeing that Li Hao was still jumping around alive, Lu Yuan’s expression turned grim, as he had survived a strike from his peerless technique, and, on top of that, seemed unharmed?
“Die!”
Li Hao roared in anger, swinging his fist and attacking.
The might of the Half-Step Invincible Fist, with every step he took, whipped up a violent storm, hammering towards Lu Yuan.
The tremendous power of the fist, along with the phantom of the Immovable Ming King that appeared behind him, struck down together.
Lu Yuan’s eyes filled with rage as his entire body erupted with intense lightning, his hands rose with divine thunder contained in his palms, and he struck at Li Hao again.
Boom Boom Boom!
The two clashed in close combat instantly, fists and palms colliding, lightning exploding around them.
The air around them vibrated, the sheer aftershock was enough to send the masters of the Tianren Sect reeling, severely injured.
Li Hao used all his Body Refinement skills and every time he received a strike, he activated his Supreme Body to try and evade the attack.
If he were below the Four Stands Realm, he could indeed have done so, making it difficult even to touch him, but his opponent’s aura had locked onto him.
However, the Supreme Body still took effect, and although he was hit, the power of the attack was noticeably reduced, and the electricity that entered his body also diminished its paralyzing effects thanks to the transformation of the Supreme Body.
As Li Hao released other Body Refinement true forms, his body became as one, surrounded by extraordinary phenomena, and as the lightning enveloped him, he moved through the thunderbolts, his body seared by the lightning only to heal in an instant.
Li Hao breathed in Immortal Qi, drawing in the surrounding Power of Heaven and Earth, and his strikes contained a force of a hundred thousand tons.
This was the strength of over a billion pounds, capable of moving mountains and splitting seas, unimaginably fearsome.
With the opening of the Heaven and Earth Vein, Li Hao’s capacity to draw the Power of Heaven and Earth increased more than tenfold, and unlike other states, the Heaven and Earth Vein was not a short-term activation but could be maintained for a long time, almost like a passive ability.
With a loud bang!
The explosive vibration sounded, the lightning in Lu Yuan’s palm scattered, his palm felt numb, and some scales even started bleeding.
Lu Yuan’s pupils contracted, his heart shocked; how could this youngster possess such frightening Qi Force?!
He was a True Dragon who had cultivated for ten thousand years with supreme strength; even the Barbaric Bear Clan seemed small in front of him. His strength was regarded as the most powerful in the same realm, but now he was being suppressed by Li Hao, who was at a lower level than him!
“Damn it!”
The more he fought, the angrier Lu Yuan became, and he finally exploded into his true form.
Roar!
His body coiled up, transforming into a giant purple-black dragon that soared into the sky.
Then, he absorbed a massive amount of thunderous power from the dark thunderclouds above and dove down, claws emanating terrifying lightning.
Li Hao’s eyes narrowed, and as he roared, he activated his Divine Power state, increasing his Physical Strength tenfold again!
But compared to the amplified strength, what was more crucial was his body’s enhancement; self-healing, reflexes, insight, resistance, and so on—all were ten times stronger!
His flesh radiated with Red Gold radiance, like a golden deity, roaring as he stomped the earth, blending the Half-Step Invincible Fist with the Heaven and Earth Penetrating Fist, and smashed it fiercely.
The endless might of the fist seemed to split heaven and earth as thunder boomed, and countless bolts of lightning, like fiery swords, blasted and struck.
The magnitude of their power made it difficult for the onlookers on the city walls to see clearly, their eyes aching, overwhelmed by the daunting force of both parties, causing their scalps to tingle and their breathing to become labored.
Li Hao’s flesh was continuously lacerated by the lightning strikes, but although the surface of his body appeared severely damaged, the wounds weren’t too deep.
Lu Yuan, now in his true form, saw this and roared in extreme fury. What kind of physique did this kid have that he couldn’t destroy it?
He felt that Li Hao’s body seemed tougher than the Divine Weapon, or rather, it was as if he were a Divine Weapon in human form!
But how could someone who’s clearly only in the Three Immortal Realms condense their physical body to such a degree?
He had cultivated for ten thousand years and had only polished his physical body to be comparable to a sixth cast Divine Weapon, yet Li Hao’s physique seemed to be no less impressive than his!
In the midst of the thunder, Li Hao was like bathing in thunderfire, his whole body charred and covered with cracks, but under the state of Divine Power, the speed at which his flesh healed reached an extremely abnormal level, with the charred skin flaking off continuously like hollow shells.
The blood in his body, in supply and demand, transformed by absorbing the Power of Heaven and Earth through the Heaven and Earth Vein, could regenerate continuously as long as the power flowed endlessly.
At this moment, Li Hao had quite the feeling of being immortal and indestructible.
His eyes were sharp as he watched the roaring purple dragon, his first hand-to-hand combat with an opponent from the Ultimate Study Realm was more formidable than he had imagined, but after opening the Heaven and Earth Vein and deducing many of Tianji Tower’s Peerless Techniques to bolster, he condensed his physical body.
His own growth had become incredibly terrifying beyond imagination, the previous sensory judgment was correct, even the Dragon Soar Sword couldn’t harm his physique at this moment.
Especially now, under the state of Divine Power, the protective power of his physique had increased tenfold, the previously painful lightning now hitting his body only caused a slight numbness, it didn’t even cause him to stiffen.
“Die!”
Li Hao roared as he shot up into the sky, carrying an endless might, cracking the ground, his body surging toward Lu Yuan like a War God.
Lu Yuan bellowed in rage, hearing Li Hao’s words only further enraged him, his dragon blood rushing to his brain, he suddenly soared up rapidly, absorbing all the electric lights and thunder from the overcast clouds into his mouth.
“Roar!!”
He unleashed his strongest Peerless Technique, the ultimate move of the Limitless Thunder Tao, Destruction of the Tao of Thunder!
His several-hundred-zhang long body was covered in lightning from head to tail, pushing from the tailbone to the dragon head, where intense lightning converged to a point and burst forth with destructive power!
Seeing that intense lightning, Li Hao felt his skin peel and rip apart even before it reached him.
His heart was contracting, spouting jets of golden blood, his whole body seemed to boil, and his flesh sensed danger, automatically entering the most tense state.
Without any hesitation, Li Hao stepped into an Immortal state, power surged like scooping up a ladle of water from between Heaven and Earth.
Boom!
The wild Power of Heaven and Earth, through the Heaven and Earth Vein, rapidly blasted into his body, with the ferocious aura growing wildly within him like a beast.
Li Hao’s eyes shone brilliantly, erupting with an unmatched presence.
“Is this your limit? My fist is unrivaled!!”
Li Hao roared as he took a step and threw a punch, gathering the might of Heaven and Earth, it landed with a thunderous force.
The fist power charged against the lightning, killing its way upward.
The Immortal state rapidly climbed to thirty percent, the original limit, but at this moment, not even a hint of tearing showed on his flesh.
Thump!
The endless fist power resonated, the lightning exploded, and Heaven and Earth thundered.
The very ground outside the Array shook violently.
The overcast clouds in the sky were cleared by the force of the punch, revealing the clear skies of dawn.
Lu Yuan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, hit by the residual force of the punch on his lower jaw, several of his two or three meter long dragon teeth fell out.
His body exhausted of strength, he looked at Li Hao in fear and saw the foe flying toward him rapidly, dragging with him the surrounding Power of Heaven and Earth, still with overwhelming momentum and showing no sign of weakening.
The aura that surrounded Li Hao made him transcend common mortals, Lu Yuan’s pupils contracted as a long-forgotten memory buried deep in his mind seemed to resurface, he exclaimed in horror:
“You’re not from here?!”
Li Hao, about to attack, was startled by this sudden remark.
Could his transmigration be seen through?
“You’re from the sacred clans of Great Wilderness Heaven?”
Lu Yuan asked in a trembling voice, horrified.
This made Li Hao breathe a sigh of relief, scared to death.
He almost thought his biggest secret had been discovered.
“Die!”
Li Hao simply responded with a punch.
Seeing the murderous intent in Li Hao’s eyes, Lu Yuan felt a terror growing in his heart, he turned sharply and transformed into a purple light, fleeing rapidly into the distance.
Although he could still fight, his strongest Peerless Technique had been broken by Li Hao, and the young man hadn’t even been seriously injured, which terrified him to the core, it was too frightening.
Is this the Three Immortal Realms?
This, is the Three Immortal Realms?!
It felt unreal, terrifying memories kept surfacing in his mind, and he wanted nothing more than to flee.
“Think you can escape?!”
Li Hao certainly wouldn’t let him go, otherwise letting the dragon return to the mountain would leave endless troubles, especially since it was from the Ultimate Study Realm.
Since you’re here, you shouldn’t think of leaving!
“Feng, guard Cangya City for me, I’ll be back soon!”
Li Hao shouted loudly.
Feng Boping, who had been injured earlier, had suppressed it and was ready to assist Li Hao, but then saw Li Hao managed to make that old dragon from the Peerless Technique Realm run away.
He felt the might unleashed in the battle deeply, and the young man whom he had protected all the way from Qingzhou had, in an instant, grown to heights beyond his reach.
Seeing Li Hao displaying the Heaven and Earth Traceless Skill and disappearing into the distance, Feng Boping’s mouth twitched into a wry smile, but then he laughed heartily.
He knew, from that moment on, no one in the world could bind Li Hao, the True Dragon!
Meanwhile, Li Hao had already pursued the old dragon Lu Yuan.
Both parties were extremely fast, and they almost instantly traversed the two-hundred-li-long Dragon Pass Road.
Lu Yuan was fleeing at full speed, but found the young man pursuing him was even faster!
That bizarre movement technique he executed, covering a hundred li in an instant, was like a ghostly shadow, closing the distance relentlessly.
He was profoundly shocked, was this young man truly fifteen?
Even if you started cultivating from the womb, it’s impossible to be proficient in everything, isn’t it?!
Seeing Li Hao was about to catch up, he flipped his hand and brought out a sacred heart talisman, igniting it.
