Chapter 348: Only I, Supreme!

In the Buddhist hall, an icy phenomenon appeared, the air seemed to freeze, and frost flowers scattered.

Bian Ruxue slowly opened her eyes, her clear and bright eyes as cold as a snow-capped mountain, devoid of any impurities or emotions.

Having just attained enlightenment, she severed all emotions and ties, cutting off her past and the figure that had been a childhood bond in her heart.

Although she had once said that she would pursue her own path of the sword, and if the other party was willing to marry, she would still be willing to marry them, but matters like bearing children, which consumed time and energy, would have to wait until she had achieved great success in her sword path.

Facing the figure that had accompanied her in childhood, although she chose the path of the sword, she always felt a sense of guilt deep within.

Now, even that deeply buried guilt and longing have been severed.

She knew that if she did not sever these ties, she could not reach the pinnacle.

The other party had said that when she climbed to the peak, to take a look at the true pinnacle of the sword path, she would then tell him how splendid it was.

She had the same thought, but now, she has even severed this notion.

Freezing her Dao heart, then breaking it open again, only in this way could she achieve the emotionless sword path she had just realized.

Yes, her sword path had transformed from her original icy sword intent, extending through enlightenment.

The ultimate form of ice and snow is freezing, shattering. All things have emotions, only ice and snow are emotionless, burying everything, suppressing the vitality of spring, making all things in heaven and earth tremble.

Her sword path is the same.

At this moment, her gaze is calm and indifferent, reflecting on the sun and moon sword path of the previous Holy Son of Haoyue, feeling that it was "nothing special."

Although the sun and moon can illuminate all things, all things can sever emotions and shatter them!

Even, she felt that her master, the Sword Saint's sword path, was not perfect. Although the sword path of all beings is terrifying, all beings have one thing in common, and that is emotion.

Birds and beasts all have emotions, and where there is emotion, there are cracks. And those cracks are the trajectory of her sword, where the light enters, and where her sword extends!

"Hmm?"

The Sword Saint noticed Bian Ruxue's awakening but keenly observed that this enlightenment of his disciple seemed to have some changes he could not see through.

However, enlightenment is hard to define. Some achieve greatness late in life, mediocre and ordinary for half a lifetime, but suddenly attain enlightenment, touch the holy will, and undergo earth-shaking changes.

"Thank you, Master, for your protection."

Bian Ruxue looked around and saw that she was above the Buddhist hall. Earlier, she remembered being defeated and returning to the platform below, where she attained enlightenment. It must have been her master who helped her avoid interference and protected her.

She nodded slightly, though her words were of gratitude, her eyes remained calm.

Although she now practiced the emotionless sword path, she would still acknowledge this sentiment. How and when to repay it would be up to her own will.

The Sword Saint shook his head slightly, glanced at her, and said no more.

The Literary Saint glanced at the girl, noticing that her enlightenment had propelled her strength to the top of the elite. Unfortunately, her enlightenment came too late, destined to miss this supreme elite battle.

He withdrew his gaze, looked at the Buddhist Venerable, who, after congratulating the Sword Saint, calmly watched the scene inside, like a motionless Buddha.

This was tantamount to tacitly allowing the Buddhist semi-saint to take action and suppress the young man.

The Literary Saint felt regretful. Such a prodigy, though sharp and exposed, is normal. Which young person is not arrogant? If not arrogant, can they still be called young?

Moreover, being wronged and slandered as a demonic path, such anger is in line with human nature. If they feared the majesty of the saints and were submissive, it would be difficult to achieve greatness, and their Dao heart would be tarnished.

At this time, Jue Ming on the battle stage was fully displaying Buddhist light, radiant and transparent.

He manifested a golden body, solemn and majestic, like an incorruptible Arhat, looking down at Li Hao.

With a wave of his hand, the formation condensed, and the battle stage was sealed.

Seeing this, the people below all looked serious, knowing that this Buddhist semi-saint was about to get serious, truly intending to personally teach this Hao Tian a lesson.

"What are you doing?!"

"Stop!"

"A dignified Buddhist semi-saint, are you going to bully the weak? Shameless!"

"He is the number one elite of your Canglan Realm, having just won this supreme honor, and you want to suppress him, affecting his incense. Don't you feel ashamed?!"

Below, Zhan Tan and Ye Zu and others were furious, shouting loudly.

They did not expect the other party to really take action against Li Hao, and the Buddhist Venerable did not stop it. In other small worlds, winning the first place in the quota battle, what a prodigy, what excellence, representing the entire small world to fight against the heavens, this is a great mission, a great honor!

As a result, just after defeating the opponent and winning the first place, he was suppressed by the holy land within his own world, which is simply infuriating.

When they spoke out righteously, they also revealed their own semi-saint power, exuding the aura and majesty of a semi-saint, shining like stars among the millions of spectators, extremely conspicuous.

Seeing four or five semi-saints speaking for Li Hao, everyone was surprised and looked over.

"So many semi-saints!"

"Are these semi-saints speaking for that Hao Tian?"

"This Hao Tian has quite a network, so many semi-saints pleading for him."

"Is it possible that these semi-saints don't know Hao Tian and are just speaking out of righteousness? I also think that the Buddhist semi-saint taking action against him is a bit too much, this is bullying the weak!"

"Right, and the Buddhist son did not admit defeat, being beaten is normal."

"What kind of mentality do you all have, still defending that demon? No matter how strong he is, if he can defeat the Buddhist son, just defeat him cleanly, why humiliate him? The Buddhist son has a hard cultivation, suppressing demons since birth, a lifetime of hardships, and still suffers such humiliation!"

"Right, don't forget that the Buddhist son is a reincarnated saint, he is beating a saint!"

"Isn't that contradictory? If the Buddhist son is a reincarnated saint, then Hao Tian defeating him, isn't he also a reincarnated saint? Saints fighting saints, how can we comment? According to your logic, the Buddhist semi-saint now wants to teach Hao Tian a lesson, isn't that a semi-saint wanting to teach a saint a lesson?!"

Not only below, but the entire Canglan Realm was abuzz with discussion.

Earlier, when Jue Ming wanted to teach Li Hao a lesson, saying he despised the holy will, people did not think it was wrong, but now many semi-saints are speaking for Hao Tian, which has awakened many.

Regardless of whether the other party is cultivating demons or not, this battle is already the strongest elite of the Canglan Realm!

As the strongest elite among dozens of dynasties and three holy lands, at this moment of championship glory, he is to be taught a lesson, isn't this also bullying!

Seeing the discussions among the crowd, many Buddhist disciples joined in, loudly rebuking and defending.

Li Hao heard the angry shouts below speaking for him, and among them, he heard Zhan Tan's cold questioning, couldn't help but look over, seeing that beautiful face that always smiled during their months together, now cold as ice, rarely angry, he felt a warm feeling in his heart.

Besides Zhan Tan, Li Hao also saw Ye Zu and Qing Zu, as well as three other semi-saints from the Flower Tour Society speaking for him.

He couldn't help but smile.

Life should be enjoyed to the fullest, he has been wandering and fighting all his life, but always meets two or three good friends, isn't this a fortunate thing.

"Still smiling, this is the Buddhist holy land, no one can protect you!"

Jue Ming saw the smile on Li Hao's face, his expression turned cold, suddenly, the golden body behind him raised its palm and fiercely pressed down towards Li Hao.

In its palm were the six true words "Om Mani Padme Hum," shining with burning golden light, as if it could annihilate everything.

Li Hao's gaze retracted from below, looking at the giant palm that seemed to cover the entire battle stage, a cold light appeared in his eyes.

Zhan Tan and Qing Zu and others all changed color, shouting angrily.

Countless people seeing this scene held their breath, this was a semi-saint taking action, about to suppress the peerless young man.

At this moment, a dazzling black light bloomed, Li Hao's sword shone with intense sword energy, the sword momentum was overwhelming, like black raging flames on the blade.

Look up, cold eyes, swing the sword!

A decisive and angry sword.

In the eternal Dao domain, countless sword energies gathered, all the sword paths Li Hao had comprehended merged at this moment, leaving only the self!

The heaven and earth seemed to dim, the sun and moon lost their light, the ultimate sword suddenly slashed out.

With a bang!

The entire heaven and earth shook, countless lights and shadows intertwined, countless sword momentum appeared.

Finally, all the phenomena contracted, turning into a black yet bright sword light, cutting through everything!

Bang!

The crimson-gold Buddhist palm exploded, the six-word demon-subduing true words in the palm shattered, the overwhelming sword intent surged out, the void split, time seemed to be cut for a moment!

"How is this possible?!"

Jue Ming's pupils contracted, shock appeared in his eyes, his semi-saint embryonic form, the holy will inside, was actually cut apart by that sword?!

What a dazzling sword!

Sweeping everything in front away, including the huge golden body behind Jue Ming, it was also cut apart, the formation outside the battle stage was also torn.

"This sword path..."

Bian Ruxue, who had just finished her enlightenment, also saw this scene, her clear and calm eyes slightly contracted at this moment.

In that sword, she seemed to see the shadow of countless sword paths, all condensed into that one sword.

One sword out, only the sword light exists between heaven and earth.

Only I, supreme!

While her eyes were shocked, her mind was shaken, Jue Ming on the stage bore the brunt, the sword containing the full power of the eternal Dao domain split the Buddhist palm, his golden body was also cut apart, his own palm was also cut by the sword path, five fingers severed!

Blood splashed, the terrifying sword force pushed his body back several steps, seeing this scene, the previous arguments below instantly fell silent.

One sword defeats a semi-saint!!

This is simply defying the heavens!

Countless people in the entire Canglan Realm, looking at the scene reflected in the clouds, were all stunned.

This scene exceeded their imagination, beyond the limit of cognition, at the Hearing Dao realm, actually able to defeat a semi-saint!

Although a semi-saint is not a saint, after all, it carries the word saint, only waiting for the incense to accumulate, to become a saint!

Although many people's eyes were stinging, they still tried their best to stare at the scene on the battle stage, not wanting to miss a bit.

Below, Lin Qingying, Zhan Tan and others, full of worry, were all stunned, then felt a sense of astonishment.

Although Li Hao had previously defeated the Buddhist son, showing extremely strong strength, they did not expect him to be able to contend with a semi-saint, you must know, Li Hao does not have saintly power, but now he has defeated the other party, this can only mean that his own accumulation is too terrifying, his strength is too monstrous, leading to a qualitative change from quantitative change.

"He seems, not to have used the heaven and earth manifestation!"

At this time, someone below suddenly realized something, like a scream, tremblingly said.

These words fell into the ears of many people, making many people's blood boil and then freeze.

Reaching this level of strength, it is impossible not to have the third extreme realm, this can only mean that the other party still has strength in reserve!

"This, this is too exaggerated!"

"Where is this Hao Tian from, which sect, which supreme saint's disciple?!"

"With such strength, I'm afraid he has a chance to take the first place in the heavens battle!"

"First place may not be certain, but the top ten is absolutely certain!!"

Countless people were excited and boiling.

Top ten in the heavens battle, representing the Canglan Realm, will fight for great fortune for the Canglan Realm, raising the energy concentration of the entire Canglan Realm, this is something that can benefit countless martial artists in the entire Canglan Realm!

"Hao Tian... Hao Tian?!"

Bian Ruxue heard the countless excited exclamations, from which she heard those two familiar words.

Her mind suddenly flashed back to that snowy day, resolutely stepping out of the Divine General's Mansion, the lonely young man with his back to the bustling prosperity.

The other party abandoned one of the most noble and prominent surnames in that divine dynasty, called Hao Tian, is it the same name, or... the same person?

Bian Ruxue stared intently, the more she looked, the more she felt that the other party's appearance had a three-point similarity.

But the other party's aura was completely unfamiliar.

The figure from childhood, his aura and smell she was very familiar with, impossible to mistake, this is definitely not the same person.

But, how could it be the same name?

She stared closely at the other party, suddenly having a thought to make contact.

"You!"

Jue Ming looked at Li Hao in shock and anger, although he had not exerted his full strength earlier, it was still ninety percent, actually defeated by Li Hao, is this the other party's confidence?!

"It seems my demonic path is deep, even a semi-saint cannot subdue me."

Li Hao casually held the sword, coldly said.

These words carried a bit of sarcasm and irony, as if to replace the other party's thoughts, to say what the other party wanted to say.

Hearing Li Hao's mockery, Jue Ming's face turned livid, wanting to take action again, but that would be too ugly, originally wanting to suppress with one hand, easily solve, let everyone see the other party's defeated and humble appearance, but instead was suppressed by the other party.

Taking action again, if still defeated, the Buddhist sect will lose face.

Demonic path? No matter what path, the other party is only at the Hearing Dao realm, but can defeat a semi-saint against the odds, isn't this equivalent to promoting that the demonic path is powerful, cultivating demons can fight semi-saints at the Hearing Dao realm?!

Jue Ming felt humiliated, standing on the stage, his thoughts rapidly turning, wanting to resolve this impact on the Buddhist sect's reputation.

Li Hao seemed to see through the other party's thoughts, indifferently said:

"Not going to continue teaching a lesson? Your Buddhist son is still taking a nap here."

Just now, when Li Hao swung the sword, his foot did not move from the twin Buddhist son's head, instead, because of the force of the sword swing, his foot pressed down harder, almost crushing the twin Buddhist son's skull.

Hearing Li Hao's words, many people almost laughed out loud.

Being stepped on, mouth full of dirt, unable to speak, this is called taking a nap, right?

Jue Ming's face was ugly, below many Buddhist disciples also had livid faces, feeling a sense of humiliation and frustration as if their blood vessels were about to burst.

The previous twin Buddhist son, so dazzling and brilliant, inspiring awe, but now being stepped on and beaten by Li Hao throughout, all the noble aura of an elite was stepped away, heartbreaking.

"I heard you are from the mortal world, right? Just arrived in the land of saints, and already provoked the saint of the Void Holy Land, you are showing off here today, tomorrow you will fall!"

Jue Ming's thoughts converged, coldly said, these words contained a hidden threat.

Li Hao's eyes turned cold, not expecting his deeds to be known by the other party.

"What does Semi-saint Jue Ming mean by this?"

"This elite is from the mortal world?"

"Saying he offended the saint of the Void Holy Land, what does this mean, he previously hid his identity, seems to have a secret past."

Hearing Jue Ming's words, everyone was surprised, although the other party previously used the pseudonym 'Qingfeng', probably hiding something, but actually from the mortal world?

You must know, many princes and sons of nobles among the present geniuses, their ancestors have been rooted in the land of saints for generations, while the mortal world, in their impression, is energy-poor, like a small mountain village.

Bian Ruxue hearing Jue Ming's words, her heart shook, her whole body felt a tingling sensation.

Jue Ming hearing countless discussions, his eyes coldly fierce, loudly said:

"This demon, ten years ago the Yunxia Realm gave the mortal world a chance, selecting elites from the mortal world to take as disciples, seeing his bad nature, the saint of the Void Holy Land took action, wanting to kill him, perhaps out of kindness, let him escape for a time."

These words spoken, everyone was shocked.

Zhan Tan and Qing Zu and others had ugly faces, earlier when they discussed the "Hao Tian" prodigy, they couldn't help but sigh.

But now knowing that Qingfeng is that Hao Tian, only surprise remains.

That incident was widely rumored, they all knew what it was about, clearly a personal grudge, plus the saint of the Void Holy Land wanting to kill this prodigy who cultivated the sixth extreme realm, but in the other party's mouth, it became a bad nature.

As a semi-saint, Jue Ming's words carried weight and majesty, plus mentioning the saint taking action, also shocked many, all looking at the young man in surprise.

Lin Qingying stared blankly, she had been cultivating in the Sword Ancestor Holy Land, not interested in outside matters, only now did she know why she picked up the seriously injured and unconscious Li Hao back then.

The other party actually escaped from the hands of the saint of the Void Holy Land at that time!

A dignified saint, actually taking action against a Hearing Dao realm, and, Li Hao escaped!

"Is it that incident ten years ago? I seem to have heard, a mortal world prodigy came to the land of saints, offended a saint, was killed."

"I heard it wasn't offending, but offending the saint's disciple."

"I also heard, another holy land wanted to take him as a disciple, two holy lands competing, finally the saint took action, killed the prodigy, didn't expect it to be him!"

Below, many well-informed people now recalled and connected, looking at Li Hao in shock.

That incident, although happened in the Yunxia Realm, but the mortal world prodigy, sixth extreme realm and other news, were extremely eye-catching, thus had a small range of spread in the heavens, just most people didn't know.

"So it's that Hao Tian!"

"Too long ago, I forgot the name, he is that mortal world prodigy? No wonder not from the three holy lands of the Canglan Realm, originally from the mortal world!"

As these discussions spread, more people eagerly asked, learning the secret news of ten years ago, all surprised.

The matter of ten years ago was brought up again, Li Hao's face was cold, the other party's words were to borrow the name of the Void Saint to convict him.

Saints and saints taking action, no one dares to discuss, but saints taking action against Dao realm, is the Dao realm's fault, otherwise why would saints bully you ants?

This robber logic, although infuriating, is also extremely realistic.

"He is from the mortal world, not grown up in the land of saints since childhood?"

The Holy Son of Haoyue and Lin Shuhai and other elites, their attention was on this, their eyes all showing surprise.

They all know, cultivation in the mortal world is slow, a hundred years of cultivation, only equivalent to ten years in the land of saints.

And now, Li Hao is competing with them at the same age, if converted, simply monstrously terrifying!

"From the mortal world, actually able to take the first place in the Canglan Realm quota battle?"

"The Buddhist son was defeated, the reincarnated saint was stepped on, did the mortal world undergo a mutation, how could such a prodigy be cultivated?"

"Too exaggerated, by the way, he offended a saint, why isn't he dead?"

Below, the noise of discussion was intense.

Jue Ming's face was cold, staring at Li Hao, not taking action again, he previously took action for the twin Buddhist son, also to save face for the Buddhist sect, now continuing to confront Li Hao, might also lose, although he still has some trump cards, but Li Hao's sword truly shocked him.
