Chapter 847 Chapter 172: Eternal Dao Domain’s True Force (Guaranteed +4K extra 1!)_6
“What’s going on, this Mixed Heaven Sacred Land, why challenge Haotian!”
“Yes, he definitely qualifies to enter the top hundred, are they trying to block his advancement here, preventing him from moving up in ranks?”
“Haotian, whose name reigns supreme on the Heavenly Stele, if he could be defeated, it would truly elevate All Heavens’ reputation, they must be aiming to establish their fame by stepping on him!”
The crowd below discussed, speculating various possibilities, some even mentioned that Green Deer King is also from Mixed Heaven Sacred Land, possibly seeking revenge through them.
Li Hao originally thought the battle would have ended by now, and likewise felt surprised as he stared intently at his opponent, sensing an underlying targeting.
“Green Deer King was inferior, his humiliation is deserved, but I’m curious to see, you who are supreme on the Heavenly Stele, what if you can’t even make it into the top hundred, wouldn’t that be interesting?”
Tian Wujin, with a beauty mark near his eye and a charm tinged with wickedness, revealed a frivolous cold smile, and transmitted his voice to Li Hao.
Li Hao immediately understood that his prominence had incited some to suppress him.
“Interesting.”
Li Hao smiled, but his eyes grew colder.
He had just exchanged moves with Yan Qingchuan, thinking it merely a rival attracted by his reputation, just a friendly contest.
But since it was intentional targeting, his moves would no longer be light!
Seeing the cold intent in Li Hao’s eyes, Tian Wujin burst out laughing, finding more pleasure when others felt displeased.
“Come on, I too wish to learn about this Eighth Extreme Realm!”
Tian Wujin laughed heartily, yet his body suddenly burst forth with a terrifying presence.
Streams of Extreme Realm Power displayed, his hair turned golden as he entered the Divine Power State, Heaven and Earth Vein condensed, Dharma Aspect appeared.
Having witnessed the power of Li Hao’s Dao Domain before, he knew that without showing his real skills, it would just be an embarrassment to himself.
As five Extreme Realms emerged, Tian Wujin merged into the Dharma Aspect, his presence surged and it made everyone feel an oppressive terror as if a Saint was manifesting overhead.
“A nascent Saint Path!”
At this moment, Tian Wujin unleashed his true power, the nascent form of the Saint Path.
With the vague aura of the Saint Path appearing, his New Saint Path is the Extreme Strength Saint Path, Mixed Heaven Sacred Land is among the sacred lands with rare Body Refinement Secret Manuals.
The Saint Path laid out by Mixed Heaven Saint is also of the Power Great Tao.
Right now, Tian Wujin is cultivating the same path of power.
“Physical body strength may exhaust, but Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect has no bounds!”
Tian Wujin’s hair wildly fluttering, he roared: “Let you see what is supreme Divine Power, what is the power that breaks all laws!!”
Boom!
Roaring, he propelled his Dharma Aspect and suddenly threw a punch directly at Li Hao.
This Dharma Aspect was enormous, and the gales it uplifted extinguished the battlefield’s storm and lightning laws, carrying the force of falling stars.
“Rumors say the Mixed Heaven Saint could lift up an entire minor world, Tian Wujin is one of the three top Heavenly Prides of the Mixed Heaven Sacred Land, his presence could be called a minor Mixed Heaven!”
Some people exclaimed quietly, their faces turning to shock.
Li Hao slightly raised his head to watch the whistling Dharma Aspect’s fist, but a strange expression appeared in his eyes.
It was the first time he heard someone talk about the power that breaks all laws in front of him!
Given that he is at the Ninth Stage of the Physical Body Dao, should any additions be made, his first choice would be enhancing the Physical Body Dao, becoming a Saint!
“If that’s so, let me try as well!”
Li Hao no longer relied on the Eternal Dao Domain to suppress it but suddenly retracted the Dao Domain, and immediately behind him, a towering Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation appeared!
That Dharma Aspect, like a deity, resembled Li Hao but was entirely in glowing red gold, exuding an ancient and primal aura of heaven and earth.
At the same time, the Heaven and Earth Vein emerged behind the Dharma Aspect.
Simultaneously, Li Hao’s entire body turned red gold as he entered the Divine Power State.
However, having cultivated to the Power Transmission Ultimate Realm, his Physical Body Strength reached ten million catties, and under the tenfold surge provided by the Divine Power State, it reached the pinnacle, a force of a hundred million!
This Physical Body Strength also allowed him to absorb more Heaven and Earth Power, filling it within the Dharma Aspect.
“Come!!”
Li Hao roared, and his Dharma Aspect, along with his own fist, swung towards the Dharma Aspect of Heaven Worry-Free.
The two towering Dharma Aspects stood on the battlefield, and their huge, mountainous fists collided, making countless people feel as if they turned deaf for a moment, unable to hear any sound!
But moments later, a rolling sound like a hundred thousand thunders vibrated out.
Following that, enormous footsteps resonated off the ground, only to see Heaven Worry-Free’s Dharma Aspect staggering backward continuously, and the fist he swung out seemed to disintegrate, with three of its fingers scattering.
“How is that possible?!”
In the Dharma Aspect, Heaven Worry-Free’s eyes bulged, disbelieving.
The terrifying vibrational force transmitted by that Dharma Aspect made his scalp tingle, feeling utterly shocked.
In a mere clash of raw power, he was actually losing?!
At this moment, however, Li Hao’s eyes revealed a boiling excitement, having not displayed such satisfaction in a long time.
“You are right, the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation can withstand more force, but it’s not inexhaustible; you just haven’t touched the limit!”
Li Hao’s eyes glimmered brightly, suddenly stepping forward and fiercely swinging his fist:
“But I have touched it!”
Having cultivated to the Power Transmission Ultimate Realm, though the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation could bear more power, it was closely related to his physical body.
Equivalent to one hundred times his physical body!
When the physical body reaches the Jinal Realm, it means the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation would also reach its extreme.
This punch, within the blink of an eye, extinguished the reinforced blizzard and other laws born anew on the battlefield, then it roared towards Heaven Worry-Free’s Dharma Aspect, smashing fiercely.
Like a towering deity unleashing divine fury, aiming to split heaven and earth.
Heaven Worry-Free, watching that roaring fist, his pupils contracted, and he roared violently, his power erupting to its limits, blood seeping from his eyes as he bellowed madly:
“Extreme Strength Saint Path, my power is infinite!!”
Raging, with the rudimentary bless of the Saint Path, his power burst forth to its extremes.
At the same time, he also performed a Dao Entrance Level Fist Skill, to break fist with fist!
Bang!
Li Hao also took a step forward, and a Fist Skill responded.
Half-Step Invincible Fist!
Although Li Hao’s Fist Skill was only at the Sixth Stage and this Fist Skill had not entered Dao, it ultimately added much deadly power.
The ground trembled, the battlefield shattered, and immediately afterward, a sound like a hundred thousand thunders exploding resonated.
Heaven Worry-Free’s Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation, starting from the fists, disintegrated, suffering from a force exceeding its capacity, directly tearing apart his Dharma Aspect.

Tian Wujie was blasted out of his Dharma Aspect and struck the Array, falling down like a hanging painting.
If this had been before, Li Hao would have stopped and not pursued any further, a courtesy typically accorded in a spar. However, since the other party had deliberately targeted him to humiliate and expel him from the top hundred, he would return the disgrace in kind!
Boom!
Without throwing another punch, Li Hao suddenly stepped forward, his Dharma Aspect extending a finger like a towering peak bearing down, pressing towards his opponent’s flesh!
“You!”
Tian Wujie climbed up from the ground, his face full of shock, still reeling from the demise of his own Dharma Aspect, only to see Li Hao’s finger pressing down upon him, with the lofty attitude of squashing an ant.
He immediately felt the other’s arrogance and humiliation; his eyes reddened as he roared and raised his fist to strike back.
“Sky Desolation Breaking Sky Fist!”
He attempted to roar, but the piercing wind under that pressing finger blew back like ocean waves into his mouth, drowning out his voice.
With a loud thud.
The enormous finger of the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation descended, burying Tian Wujie’s fist and body, crushing him onto the battle platform.
The ground shook violently and then cracked, the tremors spreading to the outside of the arena, causing the entire Saint Mountain to tremble slightly.
This scene was deeply etched into the eyes of the crowd. For several seconds, Li Hao’s Dharma Aspect’s finger dissipated, and he retracted his Dharma Aspect, drifting down from the air, appearing clean and effortless.
In contrast, there was a deep pit on the other side, with Tian Wujie lying in it, his robe’s luminosity shattered, covered in blood.
His Fist Skill was strong, but it couldn’t bridge the gap between his Dharma Aspect and Li Hao’s, who had reached the Final Realm in Body Refinement, making his Dharma Aspect even more terrifying.
“Such a quick defeat!”
“Tian Wujie from the Mixed Heaven Sacred Land, someone who could vie for the top three, actually lost, and it wasn’t even to Haotian’s Eternal Dao Domain—it was to the Dharma Aspect!”
“Tian Wujie cultivates the Extreme Force Dao and has brought Body Refinement to its peak. Below the Saints, his strength is said to be invincible, yet he lost in a contest of strength?!”
“Haotian’s strength is clearly superior. He might also be a strong Body Refinement cultivator. The Eternal Dao Domain isn’t his only method!”
Many were shocked; they hadn’t expected the battle to unfold this way. They had hoped to see which was stronger between the Eternal Dao Domain and the Extreme Force Dao. But Haotian broke Dharma with Dharma, force with force, and his final finger crushed Tian Wujie, leaving him immobile!
In the Upper Three Realms, Tian Wujie was also considered a renowned Heavenly Pride, even more so than Green Deer King, with hopes to compete for the top three, but now he had lost so miserably.
Li Hao looked at his opponent with cold indifference, not saying much.
To be silent about the defeated is the greatest contempt.
Tian Wujie climbed up from the ground; he too was a highly regarded Heavenly Pride, but now he had suffered such a wretched defeat. Obviously, the opponent hadn’t used his Dao Domain, which was tantamount to fighting with one hand tied behind his back!
And still, he lost.
“Your reputation, I acknowledge!”
Tian Wujie’s face was ugly as he refrained from further harsh words. Being defeated, harsh words would only make him look more pathetic. With that, he turned and flew down from the platform.
In the waiting area, Green Deer King from the Mixed Heaven Sacred Land was not shocked but had a complex expression.
He knew that was not the youth’s true method.
That youth’s terror was far beyond anyone’s imagination, a monster in human skin, hiding under that shell was a power that could shock All Heavens!
His gaze turned towards Qiu Tianlu and Xiao Tianyu from the Source Ancestor Sacred Land; perhaps only these few had the chance to force out his true face.
Meanwhile, with Li Hao’s second victory, cheers erupted everywhere, and through the Boundary Stones, the entire Heavenly Origin Realm was astir.
To witness such a fierce clash in the hundred-strong battle was well worth the journey.
“Is there anyone else who wishes to measure up?”
Li Hao stood on the platform with his hands behind his back, his eyes coldly sweeping the waiting area.
Many Heavenly Prides, seeing that youth’s lofty and piercing gaze, felt as if they were being pricked on the back, and dared not meet his eyes.
Even without anger, his stature was awe-inspiring; the young man’s tall figure stood there like a Divine being overlooking the universe, exuding an aura that seemed almost too intense to behold.
In the waiting area, those who had previously discussed with Yan Qingchuan and Tian Wujie about teaching the young man a lesson were now silent, avoiding his gaze.
If it were merely the Eternal Dao Domain, they would have wanted to test it, but with Li Hao’s Dharma Aspect also so formidable, even if they were to take the stage again, they would likely only force the Dharma and Dao Unification. With these two powers at play simultaneously, they would probably be pushed to their limits and might not even win.
They were here to fight for fame, and there was no need to act rashly just because they disapproved of him.
Moreover, the power displayed by Li Hao at this moment was enough to match his reputation.
After a brief silence, no one stepped forward, and the Saint from the Source Ancestor Sacred Land immediately announced Li Hao’s advancement.
They had originally planned to join forces to suppress Li Hao with a war of attrition, but Li Hao won too easily, and the third match ended without a fight.
Tian Wujie and Yan Qingchuan didn’t blame the person for being cowardly, as it had already lost its meaning.
Unless they really brought out their ultimate trump cards, they would have a slim chance of victory.
But that wasn’t the time to use them.
As Li Hao advanced, the cheers throughout the venue were like thunder, and many perceived that this challenge seemed to have a motive to undermine Li Hao’s prestige. However, it turned out to highlight his brilliance, making his reputation even more resounding!
Seeing no one else coming forward, Li Hao raised his eyebrows slightly and didn’t stay long. He swooped off the battle platform and returned to his seat in the waiting area.
Chapter 849 Chapter 173: That Sword, Reflecting All Heavens (Minimum Guarantee +4K Additional 2)_2
Lin Qingyue threw Li Hao a congratulatory smile, and Li Hao responded with a slight smile.
Bian Ruxue noticed the eye contact between the two and unconsciously furrowed her eyebrows, her delicate hand tightening slightly.
The Haoyue Saint Son also noticed this and his expression changed slightly, looking rather unpleasant.
As Li Hao stepped down, the top hundred battles continued, and the rest who hadn’t fought yet gradually made their moves.
Earlier, some of the Supreme Saint disciples who had been delaying their battles finally took the stage to defend after Li Hao stepped down.
Many people noticed that these individuals had not defended earlier, seemingly waiting for something; they now realized they had been waiting for Li Hao, harboring the intention to challenge him. However, with Li Hao’s two battles concluded, they had all abandoned such thoughts.
Of course, their change of mind was not entirely due to admitting inferiority; it was more about realizing that winning wouldn’t be easy, and there was no need to go all out at this stage of the tournament.
With the appearance of the Supreme Saint Direct Disciples, the arena once again fell into a lull with no one challenging.
Soon after, Yan Qingchuan and Tian Wuji also took the stage to defend, and having witnessed their power, other contenders for the top hundred from various Holy Lands chose not to act.
Li Hao was also not interested in challenging them as one had to win all three battles to exclude them from the top hundred, and even if he won, blocking just one match wouldn’t make much sense.
Seeing Li Hao not taking the stage to challenge, both Yan Qingchuan and Tian Wuji secretly sighed in relief. If Li Hao were to challenge again, they would likely suffer another defeat, and although it wouldn’t affect their advancement, losing to the same person twice would be somewhat embarrassing.
“It’s too bad Haotian didn’t challenge them!”
“If he had, he could have won again!”
“It seems that Haotian isn’t as arrogant as the rumors suggest; he has a heart capable of patience.”
“Indeed, if it were me, I’d definitely seek revenge!”
Seeing Li Hao not taking the stage to challenge, many people were surprised, and their impression of Li Hao changed significantly.
Soon after, the top hundred battles were concluded.
Although a few people were absent, out of over three hundred contenders, only a hundred advanced.
Those Heavenly Prides who had labored in their own little worlds and sprinted all the way to this supreme platform of the All Heavens, faded like passers-by through fleeting clouds, leaving no trace and barely remembered by anyone.
The Source Ancestor Sacred Land announced the top hundred list and immediately released the subsequent rules.
The competition is to be held in three days, giving the top hundred Heavenly Prides time to recuperate.
Not everyone, after all, had won as effortlessly as Li Hao and the Supreme Saint disciples; some had used certain secret techniques during the top hundred battles, which took a great toll on their bodies, necessitating time to recover.
“In three days, it will be the battle for the top ten, which is bound to be even more intense!”
“Definitely, this top hundred battle was merely an appetizer. There were some impressive fights, but the ones involving Haotian, Mixed Heaven Sacred Land, and Yin Yang Sacred Land’s Yan Qingchuan overshadowed the others.”
“Indeed, only that confrontation truly dazzled me, making my scalp tingle.”
“The top-tier Heavenly Prides are indeed much stronger than the rest; their Dao Domains and Laws, Dharma Aspects, and skills are incomparable to other Heavenly Prides. Just the Dao Entrance Level techniques alone included three kinds, which is terrifying. What’s even more frightening is that they still lost!”
The top hundred battle finale left countless people reminiscing, and the subsequent discussions became even more heated, with everyone looking forward to the battle for the top ten.
Previously, many Supreme Saint disciples defended without challengers, which was disappointing to many, but understandable as they themselves, if competing, wouldn’t recklessly challenge such formidable opponents.
Atop Saint Mountain, the crowd dispersed, and their Saints in the background also returned to the Saint Dojo arranged by the Source Ancestor Sacred Land to rest.
These Saints personally attended to watch the younger generation’s competition. While watching was secondary, their primary purpose was to ensure the safety of their most exceptional disciples.
Otherwise, should someone covertly harm the most formidable disciples, investigating the incident afterward would be futile.
During the brief three-day rest period, the entire Heavenly Origin Realm was as lively and bustling as though celebrating a festival, while Li Hao returned to his small courtyard. No visitors came to see him during these three days, allowing him to continue his daily cultivation quietly.
He absorbed the Law Power integrating it into his body while contemplating the Saint Dao Seed, seeking to truly perceive the essence of his inner core.
Many are fools in this world, yet few truly perceive their own hearts.
In his meditation, time flew swiftly. Although he had not glimpsed the essence of the Saint Dao after three days, his body experienced some transformations as the Laws condensed and Daoist Charm gathered; his bones underwent a metamorphosis, evolving from Divine Bones to Dao Bones!
Dao Power is indelible, meaning that his bones could not be instantly destroyed!
Unless one slowly wore away the Dao Power within his bones with Saint Dao Power, allowing it to gradually disperse, they could not be shattered directly with thunderous force!
This difference enhanced Li Hao’s survival ability by yet another level.
The three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Again, countless people swarmed back to the top of Saint Mountain, taking their places early in their respective seating areas.
Li Hao along with other Loose Cultivators and top hundred contenders from various realms also arrived at the waiting area.
Upon seeing Li Hao arrive, many still looked over at him, their gazes solemn.
The previous top hundred battle was subject to voluntary participation; however, the battle for the top ten was not up to them to arrange, with only ten spots available, collisions were inevitable.
Chapter 850 Chapter 173: That Sword, Reflecting All Heavens (Minimum Guarantee +4K Additional 2)_3
Apart from Li Hao, there were other Supreme Saint Disciples, all of whom the others wished to avoid, but challenges were random, purely depending on luck.
As Li Hao and the other competitors arrived, the Saints from all realms also began to converge their aura, descending upon this place.
And the Saints invited by the Source Ancestor Sacred Land revealed their aura, with wonders aplenty, seated between heaven and earth, each dominating a side, the whole sky seeming split into regions, each with its distinct spectacle.
Li Hao glanced towards the Buddha Venerate and the Void Saint, and saw they were looking down indifferently, appearing unmoved by his presence.
Li Hao slightly frowned, a feeling of unease stirring within him.
Seeing the two Heaven and Earth Treasures contributed by the opponent, as well as the incense fire of becoming a Saint just within reach, it was odd for the opponent to sit so securely.
However, this was the Heavenly Origin Realm, under the watchful eyes of Supreme Saints, the opponent should not dare to rashly attack him.
Moreover, with Feng guarding him, any attack could be blocked, and with his current strength, he would not be instantly killed by a Saint, any attempt on his life would require considerable effort.
Shaking his head, Li Hao withdrew his thoughts and didn’t ponder further.
At this moment, as the Boundary Stones began to light up, the top ten selection battle of the top hundred contenders officially began.
As the tokens of the top hundred contenders like Li Hao gathered amidst the raging storm, their initial round opponents were quickly matched and appeared in the sky.
“Hmm?”
Upon seeing his first opponent, Li Hao’s eyes slightly raised; it was none other than Bai Yuan, the first prominent Saint Son from the top hundred battles!
His previous phrase “I seek the teachings of All Heavens” was enough to show his strength.
Bai Yuan also noticed that his opponent was none other than Li Hao, and while momentarily taken aback, a smile soon appeared on his lips as he looked towards Li Hao.
But after checking the opponent’s token, Li Hao glanced towards familiar faces like Lin Qingyue to see their opponents and battle situations, hoping they would go further and reach greater heights.
Bai Yuan, seeing that Li Hao didn’t pay him any attention, raised his eyebrows slightly, unfazed, as he had chosen not to take advantage during Li Hao’s previous defensive battle.
Even though the power displayed by the Eternal Dao Domain and the Dharma Form was formidable, it did not dampen his fighting spirit; instead, it felt invigorating.
At the same time, many people were searching for matchup information of hot contenders like Li Hao; upon seeing that Li Hao was actually pitted against Bai Yuan, a notable Saint Son, exclamations were heard.
Both candidates were hot favorites for the crown and had unexpectedly clashed early!
Compared to Bai Yuan and Li Hao, the luck of other Supreme Saint Direct Disciples was much better; they didn’t encounter other disciples of Supreme Saints but faced those of other Holy Lands, making their initial advancement much easier.
The only on-par confrontation was between Tian Wuji and Yan Qingchuan, who were matched against each other, becoming opponents.
But in comparison to the battle between Li Hao and Bai Yuan, it garnered considerably less attention.
“Such poor luck for Hao, he was already targeted in his previous defensive battle, disliked by those Supreme Saint Disciples, and now he’s facing one yet again!”
“Meeting Bai Yuan right from the first battle, a name of great repute in the sacred ground, a match for Qiu Tianlu himself!”
“I heard that the Green Deer King once challenged Bai Yuan but was defeated in just three moves.”
“Hao’s luck is dreadful; other Supreme Saint Direct Disciples would at least face someone from the Central Nine Realms, yet he consistently encounters Supreme Saint Direct Disciples. This is his third battle, and it seems he’s always pitted against them!”
Many people were discussing, shaking their heads at Li Hao’s misfortune, but their excitement was palpable as they talked.
After all, they were here to witness the battles, and watching such thrilling fights was exactly what they wanted.
Lin Qingyue, Haoyue Saint Son, Chi Guang, and others looked towards Li Hao, only to see that he remained calm and seemingly without any concern.
A slight worry flashed across Lin Qingyue’s eyes, but seeing Li Hao’s composure, she reassured herself. She had been in contact with Li Hao for so long and had never seen him flustered; the only time he truly changed color was in the presence of a Buddhist Saint.
“Looks like it’s time for us to distinguish who the better man is.”
Elsewhere, Tian Wuji looked towards Yan Qingchuan with fighting intent in his eyes.
Their temporary alliance the day before was just a spontaneous decision among their circle, and in today’s battle, they will naturally fight with all their strength.
Yan Qingchuan appeared indifferent, slightly nodding, but his gaze was fixed on the youth, a gleam of light emerging in his eyes.
He knew that Bai Yuan was not to be underestimated, and wondered whether he could force the youth to display his full Dao Domain Dharma Form.
As the initial battles began, a Saint from the Source Ancestor Sacred Land announced the first players, among whom Li Hao recognized one, Clear Wine.
Upon taking the stage, he glanced at Li Hao, showing an expression of helplessness, and then focused seriously on his opponent.
His opponent was Haoyue Saint Son.
As the opening fight of the top hundred battles, this battle without a doubt drew much attention and anticipation, and Haoyue Saint Son stopped dwelling on thoughts and focused as he took the stage.
With the Array congealing, recognizing neither party, Haoyue Saint Son didn’t feel like talking, whereas Clear Wine seemed somewhat ambitious, declaring:
“Three moves, within three moves, I will end the fight!”
On hearing these words, Haoyue Saint Son was momentarily taken aback with laughter, he didn’t want to boast, but the other took it upon himself to do so.
“Then let’s wait and see.”
He said with a cold laugh, and in the meantime, his Extreme Realm suddenly unleashed, his true strength not having been called forth during the top hundred advancement battles.
With the Five Extremes Realm revealed, he drew his sword, the sword edge gleaming brightly, and a brilliant golden-silver radiance emerged in his eyes, reflecting each other.
