Seeing Ji pass through, joy appeared on the faces of the other Ji Family geniuses, a slight relief hit them, but more so, it was expected.
If even Ji could not pass through, then this Immortal Gate would be unreasonable.
“Now it’s my turn.”
A genius stepped forward, and upon reaching the Stairway to Heaven, he also looked towards the youth inside the Imperial Palace, gave a slight bow, and then rushed towards the stairway.
He too was very young, only thirty-two, and already in the Ultimate Study Realm.
Soon, he also activated the first Extreme Dao Stele and went straight through.
His Dao heart test startlingly also displayed a silver-white color, though not as dazzling as Ji’s.
“An Extreme Realm, Profound Level Dao heart, this person is mine.”
It seemed a voice echoed from within the Immortal Gate.
Some with higher cultivation levels heard it and couldn’t help but be astonished, was the competition already starting?
Shortly after, as the second genius entered, followed by the third, fourth… before they started the Stairway to Heaven, most of them gave a slight nod towards the youth in the Imperial Palace as a greeting.
Among them included Ji Qingyuan’s daughter, Ji Qingshuang.
Initially, during the competition for the Dao Seed, she followed her father’s orders trying to defeat Li Hao and send him packing, but in the end, Li Hao, with his iron fists at that mountain peak, made all the geniuses submit in awe.
Defeated by the Three Immortalities within the Dao Domain, he forged an invincible legend, making all the Ji Family peers of this generation feel inferior and utterly convinced.
Ji Qingshuang nodded to Li Hao as a greeting when they met, then started her own test.
The Bone-Reflecting Mirror displayed, age 27.
Power Limit Realm.
Quickly, Ji Qingshuang also effortlessly walked the forty-nine layers of the Stairway to Heaven and entered the Immortal Gate.
Inside the Imperial Palace, Emperor Yu noticed the strength of this batch of geniuses, most of them in Extreme Realms, which was quite formidable, evident that they weren’t from Da Yu.
He had already vaguely guessed where these monsters came from, but what surprised him was that these people all seemed to know Li Hao.
“Do you know these people?”
Emperor Yu inquired.
Li Hao nodded, “We’ve crossed hands before.”
Emperor Yu suddenly understood, thinking of Li Hao’s mother’s surname, everything clicked.
People like Jiang Ziyan also realized that these geniuses were obviously stronger than others, all in the Power Limit Realm, with the first one even at double Extreme Realm and only 29 years old, which seemed a bit exaggerated.
“These guys, they all seem to know him…”
Jiang Ziyan looked towards the dragon table inside the Imperial Palace, where the young man was casually chatting with his father without any sense of urgency.
As the Ji Family geniuses continued to enter the Immortal Gate, the square fell silent for a moment. Under the inquiry of Jiang Ziyan’s Senior Brother Zhang, soon someone else lunged out, challenging the Immortal Gate.
However, with the trials and actions, some were under thirty years old, extremely young, but only in the Three Immortal Realms, which, under normal circumstances, would be looked up to, such talent and cultivation truly among the top geniuses.
But having just witnessed many Ji Family geniuses, such ages were generally found in the Four Stands Realm, which suddenly seemed largely inferior in comparison.
Nevertheless, as people in their thirties, only in the Celestial Master Realm also stepped forward to challenge, the test before the Immortal Gate became heated and intense again.
Most couldn’t even complete the Stairway to Heaven, unable to reach the Immortal Gate beforehand, only explaining that their actual combat power was average within the same realm, such talents obviously could not pass.
“So difficult!”
“The genius from the Red Waters Lin Family failed too, only reaching thirty layers of the Stairway to Heaven.”
“Those who passed easily before, what kind of monsters were they?”
“Look quick, another Extreme Realm, that seems to be the Wang Family’s True Dragon.”
On the Stairway to Heaven, the Extreme Dao Stele lit up again, a youth from the Wang Family, lofty and with a cold gaze.
He activated the Universal Force Extreme Dao Stele, his whole body turned golden-red, emitting strong Physical Body Strength, and sprinted all the way, soon reaching the forty-ninth layer of the Stairway to Heaven.
Then, without any surprise, he was taken in by the Immortal Gate.
“You should go too.”
Above Gan Tao Palace, Master Qin said to the Bright Moon Sword and others around.

Bright Moon Sword and Pure Zi nodded, then sped towards the Immortal Gate.
Seeing these disciples of Gan Tao Palace, the urge of the various geniuses at the square paused momentarily, giving up the challenge.
“Then I will go first.”
Pure Zi said.
Then he too ascended the Stairway to Heaven, he could not light up the first Extreme Dao Stele, but he did light up the second, cultivating the Heaven and Earth Vein.
Such exceptions were rare.
He then easily entered inside the Immortal Gate.
But within the Immortal Gate was an empty void, Pure Zi just appeared and saw the people who had entered before him all standing there, and beyond that, three imposing figures, along with many Dao Law Realm beings, each breath making his heart tremble.
Simultaneously, he immediately felt that the world behind the Immortal Gate contained deep and rich Heaven and Earth Energy, as if it autonomously burrowed into the body, seemingly uplifting without even needing to cultivate.
Is this too comfortable, is this the Land of All Saints?
Pure Zi couldn’t help but be amazed and curious, he slightly bowed in greeting, then shifted his gaze, only to find that he could easily look through the Immortal Gate and see the outside situation.
But from the outside, the inside of the Immortal Gate was not visible.
“Hasn’t he come yet?”
Ji Qingshuang looked out the Immortal Gate, seeing that among the challenging crowd, Li Hao’s figure had not appeared, her brows slightly furrowed.
Ji’s face was indifferent, a sparkle in his eyes, saying nothing.
Outside the Immortal Gate, Bright Moon Sword and others gradually emerged, challenging the Stairway to Heaven.
Their ages appeared in the Bone-Reflecting Mirror, some were hundreds of years old, while the youngest, the Bright Moon Sword, was only fourteen years old, two years younger than Li Hao.
His cultivation with the Celestial Master Realm had him step onto the Ascension Stairs. He did not ignite the Extreme Tao Stele, but as he ascended the forty-nine steps, the small tower shook and cast a purple light upon him.
As the light retracted, a buzzing sound emanated from within the tower.
“Dao Heart chimes!”
A light exclamation came from within the Immortal Gate, “Could it be a natural mutant body?”
With the arrival of the Bright Moon Sword, exclamations continued to erupt, someone shouted, “I want this youth for my Void Holy Land!”
Those outside heard these murmurs, somewhat surprised, was the youth’s physique extraordinary?
Emperor Yu saw Li Hao sitting beside him, appearing to do nothing, and said, “You should go too.”
“Mm.”
Li Hao nodded, no longer declining, he stood up and said, “Your Majesty, please remember to help me look for Little White Fox. It’s my companion.”
“Understood,” Emperor Yu nodded.
Li Hao then called out to Ren Qianqian, asking her to make some preparations.
Ren Qianqian was nervous and apprehensive; having seen many fail before, her heart was tight.
Seeing her tense up, Li Hao smiled and said, “Don’t rush, adjust slowly. With your strength, though not at the Extreme Realm, your talent is quite commendable.”
Hearing this, Ren Qianqian took a deep breath, slowly released it, and earnestly said, “I am ready, Young Master.”
Li Hao nodded, and promptly soared into the air with her.
As they reached the airspace above the plaza, a figure dashed out from the crowd and rushed towards the Ascension Stairs.
“Youngster, old man’s going first.”
This figure was Jiang Lichen.
His figure flashed as he stepped onto the Ascension Stairs, quickly activating the second Heaven and Earth Vein of the Extreme Realm, and soon after sprinted the forty-nine steps.
Simultaneously, the small tower shook, the purple light illuminating him, and then it retracted.
The purple light changed, unexpectedly turning black.
At the same time, a humming sound came from inside.
“Earth-level Dao Heart?!”
Exclamations of shock emerged from within the Immortal Gate.
“And it’s also a natural mutant body, unknown of what kind!”
Someone else exclaimed.
Jiang Lichen’s figure had already stepped into the Immortal Gate.
Inside, low voices caused a stir, seeming to shock many as they heatedly debated something.
People on the plaza were dumbfounded, not knowing what had happened, but they sensed that something significant had.
Jiang Ziyan’s face showed astonishment; she vaguely recognized the man’s face, seeming to be her royal uncle, but he had an Earth-level Dao Heart?
This was a heart possessed only by Saints!
Ordinary people below did not know how precious this was, but in the vast Land of All Saints, they were exceedingly rare!
Jiang Ziyan could never have imagined that such a prodigious monster would emerge from her Imperial Family!
“Could it be, will my Jiang family produce two Saints in the future?”
Jiang Ziyan was a bit dazed, adding to the revived Ancestor, this royal uncle with an Earth-level Dao Heart, if nothing unexpected occurs, according to those in the Land of All Saints who possessed Earth-level Dao Hearts, also likely had the potential of Ask Sage.
“You go first, Young Master, I need a bit more time to adjust.”
Ren Qianqian told Li Hao, the sensation caused by Jiang Lichen made her anxious again.
A mediocre student dared not follow directly after top students… Seeing her this way, Li Hao felt somewhat helpless. This little girl, though proficient in swordsmanship training by his side, lacked real battle experience and was somewhat timid in spirit.
“Alright then.”
Li Hao did not delay and started walking forward.
Jiang Ziyan saw Li Hao finally approaching the Immortal Gate, her eyes slightly narrowing as she watched.
She perceived this young celestial emperor as extremely extraordinary, a reincarnated Saint capable of competing with six at the Dao Law Realm; she just didn’t know what level of talent he would display.
And at this moment, Li Hao also arrived in front of the Ascension Stairs.
Below in the plaza, many people recognized Li Hao’s identity.
“That’s the Haotian General!”
“Our Dayu’s foremost Heavenly General, is he also entering the Immortal Gate?”
Many looked up, their faces showing a mix of nervousness and anticipation. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire
At that moment, ancient script appeared on the Bone-Reflecting Mirror.
It displayed Li Hao’s age.
16 years old.
Seeing this age, many were slightly taken aback.
Although this age was not the youngest among those who had tested earlier, like the Bright Moon Sword who was only fourteen years old.
But age is one thing, cultivation is another.
Li Hao’s strength was there for all to see, and combined with his various deeds, many of the older generation couldn’t help but sigh softly, shaking their heads with wry smiles, some of them had reached a height at sixteen that they could only look up to.
“Hao is going up!”
“He’s really going to the Immortal Gate…”
Outside the crowd, Li Yuanzhao’s face was filled with excitement, Li Wushuang and Li Zhining had complex expressions in their eyes. That bright pearl that had emerged from the Mountain and River Courtyard was now shining over the entire Dayu.
After witnessing the challenges of others earlier, they realized that this Immortal Gate selection was extremely strict; most likely, they would not be chosen.
However, for Li Hao, it should be extremely easy, right…
As his age was shown by the Bone-Reflecting Mirror, Li Hao didn’t linger and strode towards the Ascension Stairs.
No sooner had he stepped onto the Ascension Stairs than the oppressive power of laws descended upon him like a mountain, weighing heavily on his shoulders.
Is this the oppression of the Ascension Stairs?
Li Hao’s expression remained unchanged, his step didn’t falter in the slightest, and with one stride, he reached the tenth step.
At this moment, as the two Extreme Tao Steles were surpassed, they also began to glow, emitting divine radiance.
“The Extreme Tao Stele has been activated!”
“Double Extreme Realms, he’s moving so quickly!”
Seeing Li Hao move so effortlessly up the Ascension Stairs, exclamations rang out across the plaza.
Jiang Ziyan and others were slightly stunned, their expressions suddenly solemn.
They knew that Li Hao was extraordinary, and such a situation was still acceptable to them.
Inside the Immortal Gate, Ji Xuan God and many prodigies of the Ji Family laughed lightly at the surrounding exclamations from members of the Dayu Royal Family and others.
They knew that this was far from the young man’s limit.
Back with the Ji Family, he was a Four Extremes Realm being, favored by a Saint.
Meanwhile, on the Ascension Stairs, Li Hao walked with a casual ease, the increasingly strong oppression of laws around him not affecting him much.
The Dao Power within his body circulated, and even though he hadn’t completely consolidated the Tao Comprehension Realm, he was still much stronger than a conventional True Man Realm.
Soon, the Third Extreme Tao Stele lit up.
The Third Pole Realm, Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation!
Before a cry of amazement could rise, Li Hao continued to tread skyward, activating the Fourth Extreme Tao Stele!
The Primordial Spirit Extreme Realm!
Seeing that the youth passing by caused all Extreme Tao Steles to light up, Jiang Ziyan was somewhat stunned.
Four Extremes Realm?
Her cool, bright eyes became slightly lost. Having spent over a hundred years in the Land of All Saints, she was very clear about what exceptional talent for the Four Extremes Realm meant—it could lead directly to becoming a disciple of a Saint!
No wonder, no wonder he could reverse-slay six beings from the Dao Law Realm.
Her slim hands couldn’t help but clench slightly, her eyes reflecting the figure of that young man.
In the Immortal Gate, Ji Xuan God and others were also stunned. They had seen Li Hao’s test at the Ji Family before. Although he had activated four Extreme Realms then, one of them seemed to be the Sixth Extreme Realm.
And now, the Sixth Extreme Realm hadn’t lit up yet; did this mean that Li Hao possessed five Extreme Realms?!
“This young man…”
While others were shocked and murmuring, three towering figures standing not far away also began to look serious and focused.
“Four Extremes Realm, could there really be such a seedling in the Mortal World?”
“Could it be the reincarnation or avatar of a Saint… huh? The Fifth Extreme Realm?!”
At this time, on the Ascension Stairs, Li Hao moved swiftly, and after crossing thirty steps, the Fifth Extreme Tao Stele also lit up.
The Returning Ruins Extreme Realm!
Seeing this, the previously buzzing square suddenly erupted into even more fervent discussions.
Five Extreme Realms!
The most they had seen before was Ji Xuan God, who had only activated two Extreme Tao Steles.
Although they could not fully understand what the Extreme Tao Stele meant, with a total of eight steles, activating two meant being fiercely contested within the Immortal Gate—such monstrous talent. Now that Li Hao had activated five, far surpassing others, it was enough to illustrate the gap.
Is this the talent of the Haotian General?!
The powerhouses within the Imperial City were dumbfounded and shocked silent.
They had heard the legends of the Haotian General, knew he was strong, but they were once again viscerally shocked.
Outside the Imperial Palace, Ji Tian Chao also recognized Li Hao, and at this moment he was stunned.
In his mind, he recalled the words of his third brother, bringing that child back to the Ji Family was the last contribution he made for the Ji Family!
That third brother had fought countless battles for the Ji Family in his life, and even before his soul dissipated, he brought back a prodigy of peerless talent to the Ji Family. Unfortunately, the Ji Family failed to hold on to him.
Ji Tian Chao’s fingers clenched slightly, feeling a throbbing pain in his chest. Continue reading stories on My Virtual Library Empire
At this moment, on the Ascension Stairs, Li Hao couldn’t be bothered to walk slowly anymore and sprinted upwards.
The Sixth, the Seventh!
One after another, two more Extreme Tao Steles lit up.
The Earth Immortal Extreme Realm!
The Undying Extreme Realm!!
Everywhere he passed, the Extreme Tao Steles lit up, as if holding up flowers for the sky-ascending young man, adding radiance to his figure!
At this moment, exclamations from the entire Imperial City came to an abrupt halt, falling silent.
Inside the Immortal Gate, Ji Xuan Shen, Jiang Lichen, and others all widened their eyes in shock, rendered speechless.
The seven representatives of the Dao Law Realm standing outside the Staircase to Heaven, who had originally maintained a calm and indifferent demeanor, now showed changed expressions, looking at the youth in alarm.
Jiang Ziyan stood rooted to the spot in a daze.
“…”
The whole world, both the heavens and the earth, seemed to fall silent.
Such a scene made everyone incredulous.
The towering figures that stood within the Immortal Gate, on par with heaven and earth, now had a look of gravity in their eyes that turned into astonishment.
If they had not known that the Extreme Tao Stele could not be mistaken, if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would hardly have believed it.
The Seven Extreme Realm, unparalleled throughout history, even they had not reached it!
Many Saints had been reborn to re-cultivate in pursuit of higher limits, and now…the distant legend actually appeared in the mortal world!
“Who is he?”
Ancestor Yu, looking like a middle-aged man, tall and sturdy, with eyes as impressive as the sun and moon, emanated an extraordinary aura with the brilliance of laws circulating, but at this moment his face was filled with shock, unable to hold back some gaffes.
The closer one was to the Saint Realm, the more they knew how terrifying the Seven Extreme Realm was.
No one responded; Ji Xuan Shen and the others were also stunned by Li Hao.
In the Ji Family, he only revealed the Four Extremes Realm, and in less than a year, Li Hao had actually reached the Seven Extreme Realm?!
Meanwhile, the youth on the Staircase to Heaven continued to walk forward.
When he passed the eighth Extreme Tao Stele, many people’s pupils slightly constricted, their gaze fixed on that pitch-black stele.
But this time, the stele was not activated.
This outcome felt like an eased grip on their clutched hearts, allowing them to catch their breath, and they even began to sweat a little.
Ancestor Yu’s focused eyes relaxed a bit, breathing a sigh of relief. If Li Hao had reached the Eight Extreme Realm, it would have truly shocked the entire Land of All Saints.
However, even the Seven Extreme Realm was likely enough to cause a stir within the entire Immortal Gate!
Once the news spread, there would surely be countless forces vying for him.
Those Saints would probably come down to claim him personally.
Such a prodigy was too exaggerated.
How could such a person be born in the human world?
“Seven Extreme Realm, just one step away from the Eight Extreme Realm, but he’s only 16…”
A woman nearby, shrouded in a hazy mist and graceful as a goddess, whispered in shock.
Her voice was elegant and melodious, lingering with the aftertaste of laws, clear as spring water, carrying an ethereal and lonely temperament.
Hearing the Phoenix Ancestor’s words, the crowd came to their senses, only to be shocked once again.
Yes, the youth was only sixteen years old…
Inconceivable, incomprehensible!
Aside from Ji Xuan Shen and others, representatives of the various Cloud Realm forces who had come to take disciples were also bewildered.
They had witnessed the reincarnation of Saints, but even so, they could not have anticipated such a monstrous growth rate.
Unless the other party was a living Saint, which was even more impossible, as Saints would not be so bore, nor would they reveal themselves in the mortal world.
And now, Li Hao walked towards the last nine steps, arriving in front of the gates of the Immortal Gate.
Seeing the youth standing outside the Immortal Gate, even though they knew he could not see them, for some reason, the representatives from various forces felt nervous, with some even swallowing nervously.
They had never felt this way before; they were from major forces of the Land of All Saints, coming to the mortal world to take disciples was to give the mortal world an opportunity.
Now, however, they felt as if they were being offered an opportunity by the youth, an opportunity they couldn’t grasp. Such a prodigy must undoubtedly be the target of a struggle by Saints from various holy lands!
“This guy…”
Jiang Lichen had recovered his wits, looking at the youth who was almost within arm’s reach with a mix of astonishment and speechlessness. Either you reveal nothing, or you make such a spectacle, making them, who were just in the spotlight, suddenly lose all their shine.
Ji Xuan Shen and the others exchanged glances, seeing the bitterness in each other’s eyes. They had thought that chasing the youth to the Land of All Saints would close the gap between them, but before they could even start, they were left far behind.
Apart from the bitterness, they also had a special premonition. Although overshadowed for being in the same era as Li Hao, it seemed they might witness the rise of a Saint.
With such talent, if Li Hao couldn’t become a Saint, they felt that no one in the world could!
“It should be an Earth-level Dao Heart as well.”
Seeing the small tower spinning, ready to test Li Hao, everyone fell silent.
With such qualifications, the Dao Heart was no longer important, but they knew that for such a genius, the Dao Heart would not be lacking, at worst it would be a Profound Level Dao Heart.
At this time, outside the Immortal Gate, the light from the small tower had already retracted from Li Hao.
With the purple light retracted, the tower did not change, as if the purple light was absorbed, the tower fell into silence.
For a long time, the tower gave no response.
Such an odd scene left many inside the Immortal Gate stunned.
“What’s going on?”
“Is the Dao Heart Tower broken?”
Many representatives asked in surprise.
The three Semi-Saint elders, however, were taken aback. They were seeing such an unexpected situation for the first time.
Regardless of the type of Dao Heart, the Dao Heart Tower would show it, but now it was as if it had gone silent, showing no reaction at all.
After a brief silence, Ancestor Yu suddenly changed his expression, a look of shock in his eyes:
“Could it be his Dao Heart has never been seen before, surpassing the Earth-level Dao Heart?”
If Li Hao hadn’t activated the Seven Extreme Realms, he would never have entertained such an outrageous thought, but now he couldn’t help but speculate.
Hearing his words, the crowd once again fell into a slight silence.
“In ancient times, an era filled with legends of immortals and deities, there circulated a four-character phrase: ‘Heaven and Earth, Xuanhuang.’”
“The Dao Heart was also graded accordingly, yet it has never been heard of anyone surpassing the Earth-level Dao Heart. If there is, it would be called the Heavenly Heart, the heart of the Heavenly Dao!”
“All Saints preached myriad teachings, which have persisted through ages, yet have only reached the dark Earth-level Dao Heart. This ambition might already be the limit of our imagination, but could there be even greater goals?”
The people inside the Immortal Gate looked at each other.
Given their understanding, it was hard to imagine a Dao Heart that could surpass the great Dao of the saints.
Such a thing was unheard of; they would rather believe that there was an error in the Dao Heart Tower, as that seemed more likely.
As they discussed, Ancestor Yu’s gaze was fixed on the youth outside the Immortal Gate, saying in a low voice:
“He is coming in. My Primordial Holy Land will spare no expense to take him in. I hope no one will compete with me!”
“Ancestor Yu’s words are rather overbearing. Although my Heavenly Phoenix Holy Land is not as prominent as Primordial, we are also willing to use all our resources to train him!”
The dignified woman next to him, akin to a goddess, said with a calm face, her eyes flashing with sharpness.
“If I am not mistaken, your Heavenly Phoenix Holy Land belongs to the Demon Race, and you have many female disciples, which seems rather inappropriate?”
Upon hearing the woman’s words, Ancestor Yu glanced at her indifferently and spoke coldly.
“So what if it is the Demon Race? It’s not that there are no suitable cultivation techniques for the Human Race. Our two races have long lived in harmony. Are you trying to stir up strife between the Human and Demon Races?”
The dignified goddess retorted coldly, “Moreover, having many female disciples could be a good thing for him.”
“…”
Ancestor Yu withdrew his gaze, uninterested in further argument, and silently scoffed in his heart.
Knowing that this youth came from the mortal world, he also knew about his disciple’s situation there. The other party probably had a deep connection with the Jiang family, and using this as a starting point might make it difficult for others to compete with him.
Thinking this, he glanced at an old man to the side. This man was an elder from the Void Holy Land of the Cloud Realm, who, however, wore an expressionless face and said nothing, seemingly not planning to compete.
This actually surprised Ancestor Yu, that such a mischievous youth did not interest the Void Holy Land?
Meanwhile, the other powers who heard the goddess’s words were all dumbstruck; the youth had not even stepped into the Immortal Gate, yet these two half-saint elders had already begun competing. This was quite exaggerated.
However, they also knew that such a prodigy was definitely out of their league, destined to enter a holy land for cultivation and likely to be taken as a direct disciple by a saint.
Ji Xuan God and others exchanged glances and gave a wry smile; this guy always stirred up storms wherever he went, truly astonishing.
“Young man, come in.”
Ancestor Yu spoke to the youth outside the Immortal Gate.
Outside, Li Hao was still waiting for the Dao Heart Tower to give feedback, seeing it remain silent, he couldn’t help wondering.
However, he didn’t care much about how his Dao Heart was judged, whether low or high, it was his heart, his path.
Hearing the call from inside the Immortal Gate, Li Hao gathered his thoughts and looked at the gate just steps away, knowing that stepping through would distance him from the mortal world.
Li Hao turned back, looking towards the square, towards Ren Qianqian at the end of the stairway to heaven, and towards Emperor Yu soaring high in the sky, and an old Daoist flying in.
Their eyes met, and Li Hao nodded to them, bidding a temporary goodbye.
At the same time, Li Hao’s Divine Thought also noticed the distant figure of Ji, the War God of the Ji family, standing in the sky outside the Imperial Palace.
Towards this elder, Li Hao also harbored goodwill and favor, nodding to him.
Seeing Li Hao’s serene and gentle gaze, the old man’s heart jolted, the grief within him soothed by the tenderness.
His eyes slightly reddened, displaying a smile to Li Hao and giving a thumbs up.
Li Hao’s gaze fell upon the crowd, seeing Li Yuanzhao and others looking excited; he couldn’t help but smile and waved to them.
“Hao sees us!”
Li Yuanzhao immediately became even more excited.
Li Wushuang and Li Zhining were stunned, seeing the young man’s gentle demeanor, they suddenly smiled, a trace of something fleeting past the corners of their eyes.
Li Hao cast an encouraging look at Ren Qianqian, then collected his emotions and turned to step into the Immortal Gate.
As soon as he entered, Li Hao felt something unusual.
This gate, so close to him, seemed like flowing water, giving a sensation of traveling through time.
Before he could adapt, suddenly, the many vague figures standing behind the gate not only failed to become clearer but even seemed farther away.
At the same time, a sudden intense killing intent surged from the void, carrying immense pressure—a vast Saint’s Will!
Li Hao was stunned, his pupils suddenly contracting as he looked up, seeing only the vast muddled void around him, but a vague figure and will descended abruptly!
This killing intent was extremely unexpected, catching him off guard.
Li Hao’s body hair bristled, and his blood seemed to freeze, overwhelmed by a strong sense of danger, as if he was facing a Saint Demon Corpse in the abyss, a feeling of facing death. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire
Was this a saint’s strike?!
Li Hao was shocked, disbelieving, yet what followed was indignation.
He suddenly erupted, entering the Divine Power State, and simultaneously, the Heaven and Earth Vein swiftly gathered the Heaven and Earth Power, directly proceeding into the Ultimate Immortal Transformation.
With a boom, his body suddenly exploded.
Under that overwhelming power, he was like an egg under a sledgehammer, with no chance of withstanding it.
Behind the Immortal Gate, Ancestor Yu and the Goddess, who were waiting for Li Hao to traverse, their faces suddenly changed, their gazes seeming to penetrate the gate, sensing the obscure energy fluctuation inside.
Both were shocked, suddenly looking up, gazing at the unreachable sky above, where a blurry figure emerged then disappeared—a trace of Saint’s Will descending here!
That was a saint’s action!
Moreover, they instantly recognized that this was the Void Sage!
Ancestor Yu suddenly looked towards the old man beside him, whose expression remained indifferent, yet the corner of his mouth seemed to reveal a trace of a cold smile.
Ancestor Yu felt a surge of shock and anger, no wonder the other party had neither competed nor scrambled from the beginning—they had never planned to let the “monster” come over, intending instead to assassinate him directly!
Moreover, to prevent their interference, it was the Sage from the Void Holy Land who personally took action!
The opponent had become a Saint through the Void Path and his mastery of spatial nuances could be considered top-notch; this short span of an Immortal Gate, in the opponent’s hands, could be transformed into a grand battlefield.
“Void Holy Land, you’ve gone too far!”
Ancestor Yu couldn’t help but roar in shock and anger.
“That’s right, even if you couldn’t compete, you didn’t have to destroy it.”
The Goddess’s face was also exceptionally cold. She did not believe that their Heavenly Phoenix Holy Land had no chance of winning, but now that chance was completely gone.
“Sorry, that young man offended our Saint Heir, his death is inevitable.”
Facing their angry questions, the old man said indifferently.
The other forces were also shaken by this sudden change. After hearing the dialogue between the three, they were all startled.
Ji and Jiang Lichen among others were waiting to meet Li Hao and greet him, but as soon as Li Hao stepped into the Immortal Gate, he disappeared, apparently transported to another place, and had not appeared for a long time. Just as they were puzzled, hearing the words of the three ancestors, they were all stunned.
Destroyed? What situation?
Ji and the others stared in shock at the old man.
The old man instantly seemed like the target of public criticism, but his expression was calm and composed, seemingly not taking it seriously.
Everyone also knew that they were powerless against an ancestor with mere anger.
“I will report this matter to the Primordial Sage. Your Void Holy Land must give an explanation!”
Ancestor Yu’s eyes flashed with a murderous aura as he suppressed his anger.
The old man’s face remained indifferent, not responding; he had already known this outcome would occur when he covertly communicated with the Saint earlier.
That youngster, though monstrous and peerless, a dead monster is no longer a monster, and he hadn’t joined the Primordial Holy Land yet. Even if the Primordial Holy Land demanded an explanation, they could afford to compensate.
The opposing party would not initiate a battle of Sages for a dead monster; eventually, it would all calm down.
In the world of the powerful, right or wrong do not matter; only interests do.
With interests aligned, even if knowing the other party is wrong, they would still praise them.
Knowing that they were framing a good person, they would blame the good person for being foolish, for not being smart enough.
“You’re too despicable!”
Jiang Lichen glared at the old man, now guessing the reason mentioned by the other party about offending the Saint Heir.
Previously, Li Hao had killed six Dao Law Realm individuals, letting one escape—clearly, that person was one aiming for the Great Yu Incense Fire.
Unexpectedly, the enemy was right in front of him.
“Hm?”
The old man, hearing his words, looked at him with indifferent eyes.
A tremendous will to dominate surged, Jiang Lichen violently spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turned deathly pale, yet a buzzing, sharp humming sound came from his spine—it was his Sword Bone, slightly defending him against this semi-Saint will.
Ancestor Yu suddenly waved his hand, blocking the old man’s momentum and gaze, standing in front of Jiang Lichen and others, and said coldly, “Are you trying to force me to battle you here?”
The old man’s expression remained cold, retracting his gaze, knowing that since it had come to this, his Void Holy Land definitely had no chance of gaining these disciples, this batch of disciples would not be joining them.
But it was just a loss of some disciples. Besides, a few outstanding ones might not have wanted to join them anyway; the loss wasn’t significant.
The vast Void Holy Land, while it would have been good to recruit some outstanding disciples, by sacrificing these and getting rid of a monster like Li Hao, it was utterly worthwhile.
Otherwise, once the opponent grew up and accumulate Incense Sainthood, it would really become a significant threat to the Void Holy Land!
Moreover, by taking this action, not only was there a loss, but it also established the majesty of the Void Holy Land, letting others know that the Void Holy Land is not to be violated!
“If other Saints know of this, they will also demand an explanation from you!”
The Goddess stared at the old man, her expression icy cold, already seeing his confidence.
“This does not require your concern.”
The old man responded coolly.
While they were talking, within the chaotic void of the Immortal Gate, the space seemed to have been extended. Li Hao’s body shattered, his bones and blood scattering across the void.
At this moment, those bones and blood rapidly fused and reformed.
The shocked and angry voices behind the Immortal Gate, Li Hao heard them. He suddenly realized: among them, the old man’s voice felt very familiar. It was the same voice that had helped the Holy Son Xu Yuan escape through the Immortal Gate half a year ago when he was being pursued.
Exactly the same!
The old man had been silent before, perhaps having recognized him early on, deliberately waiting for him to step into the Immortal Gate to attack using the Saint’s power.
This person attempting to steal the Jiang family’s Incense Fire was in the Cloud Realm, also one of the Three Great Sacred Lands. No wonder they had been eyeing the Incense Fire of the mortal Jiang family, possibly coveting it from a thousand years ago.
But now, knowing all this was of no use, Li Hao’s consciousness returned to the void. His body had just reformed when that Saint’s Will reappeared.
“Blood Rebirth? No wonder…”
A majestic thought sounded, seemingly indifferent and high above, which then brought the Saint’s Will down again.
Li Hao’s heart filled with shock and rage. The opponent hadn’t shown themselves, and just a sliver of their thought tried to crush him.
Li Hao roared, undergoing Ultimate Immortal Transformation. He crazily drew on the power from the surrounding geo-pulse.
His entire body covered in golden skin, his hair turned snow-white, his consciousness merged with the void, touching that vast and supreme Celestial Venerable will.
He borrowed a trace of the Celestial Venerable will and suddenly slashed at that Saint’s Will.
The Saint’s will exuded an aloofness and supremacy that seemed to overlook the Mortal World from atop the clouds.
However, that strand of the Celestial Venerable’s will stood even above the clouds, looking down upon all beings with an even more indifferent and ruthlessly majestic demeanor.
“Hmm?”
A trace of surprise seemed to emanate from within the Saint’s will.
Immediately, the will of the Celestial Venerable fiercely suppressed, severing the Saint’s will that crossed tens of thousands of miles!
With the annihilation of the Saint’s will, only a tumultuous force remained in space.
Li Hao’s body, which had just coalesced, was once again shredded by the chaotic forces, turning into thousands of fragments.
But swiftly, he was reborn from a drop of blood. As long as a single drop of blood remained undestroyed, he would not die; such was the power of the Three Immortal Extreme Realms.
Seizing the momentary respite granted by the severing of the Saint’s will, Li Hao quickly consolidated himself, underwent the Ultimate Immortal Transformation, and then dashed at full speed toward the distance.
But the surrounding space was chaotic, directions were indistinguishable, and though at the extreme of Immortal Transformation, with extremely subtle senses of heaven and earth, Li Hao felt as though he was in a river without banks, as if the surrounding space was constantly shifting.
The Immortal Gate that originally stood right before him now seemed to be separated by layers upon layers of space, unreachable.
Li Hao’s heart was filled with both shock and anger as he rapidly cycled through numerous Body Refinement Techniques.
Previously summoned by Chu Jiuyue, he had entered the Tao Comprehension Realm but had not yet fully completed his cultivation; his Dao Power was not entirely transformed, and he had not cultivated all the Body Refinement Techniques to condense his physical body.
At this moment, leveraging the surging power of Heaven and Earth, Li Hao suddenly activated the Primordial Daoist Body.
The raging power infused into his physical body turned this originally incomplete Cultivation Technique into one of Daoist level, capable of cultivating a Supreme Daoist Body, briefly transforming into the Dao itself—ungraspable, undetectable, and neither harmed nor eroded!
As the Cultivation Technique operated, Li Hao’s flesh also became more refined and his Physical Body Strength slowly increased.
Veiled by the Supreme Daoist Body, he sought an exit in this Chaos space.
But before long, a will descended suddenly, belonging to that very Saint whose will had been severed before.
Yet this time, in addition to indifference, there was a clear hint of anger in the being’s mood.
The idea that his own Saintly will could be severed was simply unimaginable!
Moreover, the Dao Thoughts that severed his will were vast and powerful, seeming not to be an individual’s will but as if the entire sky was bearing down.
This was a force that even he could not comprehend.
The Saint’s will descended, and through his understanding of the Void Tao, he rapidly captured the traces of Li Hao’s figure.
Despite being exceedingly concealed and having morphed into the Great Dao, he still perceived him.
Perhaps other Saints might not have detected him.
To have transformed into the Dao to this extent… Truly deserving of death!
With a bang, a massive force swept over, attempting to crush Li Hao once again.
Li Hao, realizing he’d been detected, was shocked and enraged, unable to believe that the Saint would not let go.
He roared, refining the will of the Celestial Venerable once more and slashing out.
“Whose will is this?!”
The Saint’s will was immediately severed, seeming truly angered now. Without the Saint’s will exerting control, its power, following its original trajectory, quickly impacted Li Hao.
Li Hao swiftly activated the Supreme Daoist Body, transforming into the Dao as a rushing wind. Even in his Daoist form, his body was nonetheless sliced open.
The Great Dao is indestructible, but it can be split, just like Li Hao had previously slain six beings of the Dao Law Realm. With sufficient oppressive power, the Dao can be divided like the flow of water—though not eroded, even if shattered into billions of pieces, each disconnected from the others, it would not disappear.
Li Hao hurriedly healed his body once more, entering the Ultimate Immortal Transformation, using his perception of heaven and earth to search for an exit in the Chaos space.
If he stayed here, he would be found sooner or later.
However, before Li Hao could catch his breath, that Saint’s will that was just extinguished had recondensed.
And this time, it was not just the Saint’s will; a vague silhouette appeared in the void, an incarnation of the Saint projected into the space.
“Hmph!”
With a cold snort, the vague incarnation suddenly raised its hand, with an even stronger murderous intent this time, the space tightly constricting around, and numerous chaotic blades swept toward Li Hao like a hurricane.
Li Hao’s eyes blazed with fury as he violently wielded the Fame and Merit Daoist Sword, unleashing a ferocious slash.
Sword Qi surged like rivers across the Chaos space, but it was overwhelmed by the disruptive force, relentlessly rolling toward him.
Li Hao hastily coalesced a wisp of the Celestial Venerable’s will, slashing at the incarnation.

This time, the vague incarnation was on guard, suddenly raising its hand, isolating the powers around it, forming layers of space, extending the suppression of the Celestial Venerable’s will.
Yet, as though it could traverse time and space, the will of the Celestial Venerable precisely suppressed him even beneath his various defenses.
The fuzzy incarnation trembled, on the verge of fading, the Saint’s will restrained; this time, however, it did not directly dissipate, with the void incarnation as support, it withstood.
Yet, even so, Li Hao’s action had thoroughly infuriated it.
Countless wild vortices emerged in the void, rushing toward Li Hao to devour him.
Li Hao was like a man at sea, with the other party as the master of this Void Ocean, able to call the wind and summon the rain, controlling everything.
“Break for me!!”
Li Hao’s eyes wild, he let out a roar.
He had endured many tribulations, unwilling to die here.
Before the Divine Might Saber, he had not shed tears, before countless demons outside the pass, he had not bled, and now, he erupted with an overwhelming will, with all Dao Power and Physical Body Strength galvanized to the extreme, along with the Heaven and Earth Power he harnessed.
