Chapter 367: Power of Destiny, Sword Dao of All Living Beings! (Guaranteed 4K words plus extra update 3)

As the magic array solidified, sealing off the arena, Lin Zhuo declared, "I am no match for you; this contest is unnecessary."

He actually chose to concede defeat.

Li Hao was somewhat surprised, not expecting his opponent to willingly admit defeat.

During the previous hundred-strong promotion battle, Lin Zhuo had clearly been eager to fight him.

Seeing Li Hao's astonished expression, the corner of Lin Zhuo's mouth twitched slightly, and he gave a wry smile.

Having witnessed Li Hao's sword strike, he had already seen the gap between them.

If it were just the Eternal Dao Domain and that terrifying Dharma form power, he still had his own Dao, capable of shifting the contest to his strengths, but Li Hao's sword strike had shattered his hopes.

"Leaving one's name in blood upon the Heavenly Stele is indeed formidable, but this isn't the final contest. When I become a Saint in the future, I will seek you out for a Dao discussion!"

Lin Zhuo said, as a prodigy, he still felt some unwillingness in his heart, but he also felt admiration for Li Hao, who was also a supreme powerhouse.

Previously, he had felt some displeasure towards this unknown newcomer who had hogged the limelight, but now he was in awe.

As Lin Zhuo's words spread, the entire audience erupted in an uproar.

Everyone was astonished, never expecting that a personal disciple of a Supreme Saint would choose to concede defeat without even exchanging blows with Li Hao.

Subduing the enemy without a fight, this was a tactic of military strategists, but at this moment, it was manifested in Li Hao.

However, despite their astonishment, unusually, many people felt understanding.

After all, having witnessed the power Li Hao had previously displayed, he was truly a monster among those in the Dao Manifestation Realm; conceding defeat was normal.

The Saints of the Origin Ancestral Holy Land remained calm. Seeing Lin Zhuo concede, they announced the result.

In this second battle, Li Hao advanced without fighting.

Immediately following were the other matches.

Li Hao could only obediently step down from the stage, relinquishing the battlefield.

In this second round, Lin Qingying and Ji Xuantian also successfully advanced. Their opponents were evenly matched, and they narrowly won after fierce struggles.

Before long, the third round arrived.

The battles continued without pause, also testing endurance. If one's stamina was insufficient, they could only rely on various elixirs to recover, which could replenish it unless one suffered extremely severe injuries or used some secret technique that overdraw certain aspects.

When the third round pairings were announced, exclamations of surprise erupted from the crowd once more.

Li Hao hadn't yet reacted when he heard the numerous discussions and astonished voices in the crowd, only then realizing that his opponent was actually another extremely famous personal disciple of a Supreme Saint.

His eyes narrowed slightly. If it happened once or twice, he could still consider it bad luck, but not a third time.

He turned his gaze, looking at the opponents of the Twin Buddha Child and the other personal disciples of Supreme Saints.

He saw that they were all facing people who had previously performed moderately, similar in strength to Holy Son Brightmoon, and there was even one pair of personal disciples of Supreme Saints battling each other, namely Lin Zhuo and Bai Yuan, whom he had previously fought.

Li Hao's eyes narrowed, sensing a hint of something amiss.

But he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

He looked up, his gaze sweeping across the Saints of the Heavens, but they all appeared calm, showing no ripples of emotion over this minor matter.

Including the majestic Supreme Saints standing tall, though only avatars had descended, their expressions were like suspended suns, eternal and serene, revealing no thoughts.

Under the eyes of so many Supreme Saints, there shouldn't be any foul play, right?

Li Hao thought to himself, his thoughts somewhat aligning with anti-insider conspiracy theories. So many Supreme Saints shouldn't need to join forces to make things difficult for a mere Dao Manifestation Realm cultivator like him.

If they truly wanted to deal with him, there were plenty of methods, no need for such petty tricks.

If that was the case… then was he really just that unlucky?

Li Hao raised an eyebrow, withdrawing his thoughts. Regardless, he would fight whoever came!

In the crowd, seeing that his opponent was Hao Tian, Wu Tian was somewhat speechless. When the other had left his name on the Heavenly Stele previously, he had rushed over to watch and had seen him easily subdue the Azure Deer King under his buttocks, demonstrating extreme strength.

In these three battles, Li Hao had displayed astonishing methods. Although he was unwilling to admit it, he was indeed inferior.

"Since it's a contest, then let's have a fight."

Wu Tian thought to himself. This was a rare opportunity. If he missed this chance to spar, the next time they fought might be when they had both become Saints.

But whether there would even be a chance then was another matter entirely.

Before long, the third round began.

As the hundred strong took to the stage in turn, Lin Qingying was once again matched against Holy Son Brightmoon.

In this battle, Li Hao gave Lin Qingying an encouraging look.

Lin Qingying beamed, a smile spreading across her face, seeming to illuminate the battlefield slightly.

Holy Son Brightmoon's expression immediately darkened, feeling as if a lump of resentment was stuck in his chest, unable to be expelled.

"Your swordsmanship, did you learn it from him?"

As the magic array solidified, and since they were somewhat acquainted, they didn't immediately start fighting. After a brief silence, Holy Son Brightmoon spoke to Lin Qingying in a low voice.

Seeing the person who had ruined her Dao Embryo again, Lin Qingying's smile faded, and she coldly replied:

"That's right."

Holy Son Brightmoon felt as if his heart had been stabbed. He had clearly severed the connection, but seeing her peerless beauty, it seemed as though the severed thread had reconnected.

He wanted to see her wretched, pathetic, and卑微 (bēiwēi - lowly/despicable), only then would he feel contempt and condescending superiority, but now she was radiant and dazzling, making it difficult for him to accept.

Lin Qingying seemed to see the embarrassment on Holy Son Brightmoon's face, a hint of disdain appearing in her eyes.

Entrusting one's Dao to another, the essence of that once brilliant sun and moon was so base!

"Your Dao is too shallow."

Lin Qingying said without any politeness. This was a phrase Holy Son Brightmoon often used, but now she uttered it according to her mood, returning it to him.

Then, without further ado, she drew her sword directly.

With a hum, the three-foot Qingfeng sword blossomed with dazzling azure light, like a pool of autumn water, drawn from its scabbard as she unsheathed it, tracing a crescent moon arc of azure.

Immediately after, her Heaven and Earth Meridians emerged behind her, her eyes sharp, directly unleashing a Return to Void strike towards Holy Son Brightmoon.

Seeing the contempt in her eyes, Holy Son Brightmoon suddenly felt a surge of fury. He instantly unleashed his full extreme realm, drawing his own sword simultaneously.

"Then let's see who's better!!"

Holy Son Brightmoon roared, the Dao of Sun and Moon Swordsmanship radiating brilliance. His eyes reflected golden and silver light, like whirlpools in the starry sky.

As the Sun and Moon Sword Intent was pushed to its limit, combined with his Divine Eyes, a hint of Dao rhythm faintly emerged.

But in the next moment, as the frost-like sword light struck, all brilliance dissipated, all returned to nothingness.

Bang!

Holy Son Brightmoon's body flew backward, his sword light shattered, and his eyes seemed to go blind, the light in his eyes scattering, leaving only a void!

"My, my eyes!"

Holy Son Brightmoon crashed into the magic array, but compared to his injuries, he was now somewhat terrified.

Everything in sight was actually void.

Not black, nor a dazzling world, but a hazy void.

"When you can break through my Sword Dao, your sight will naturally return!"

Lin Qingying's voice transmitted to his ears, Holy Son Brightmoon's heart jolted, immediately recalling how he had shattered Lin Qingying's Dao Embryo with a single sword strike.

Tit for tat.

This was her revenge.

At this moment, his eyes were obscured by void, sun and moon hidden.

Though the sun and moon were dazzling and brilliant, when dark clouds shroud the sky, the world would also become dim and bleak.

Lin Qingying had already sheathed her sword, no longer looking at the defeated Holy Son Brightmoon clutching his eyes, but turning her gaze towards the Sword Saint below the stage.

Seeing the frown on the Sword Saint's brow, the corners of her mouth slightly curved upwards. She shifted her gaze away, then looked towards Li Hao, her eyes instantly softening.

When her Dao Embryo had been ruined, the Sword Saint had turned a blind eye. Standing on the stage, the center of attention, she had felt a sense of loneliness and helplessness. Only that young man had come to her side, picked up her sword, and cleaved open a clear and bright sky for her!

Now, her heart only cared for him alone.

As for the Sword Saint, or the Holy Land, repay kindness with kindness, but if there was no kindness, there was no need to look up to them!

As the result was announced, this feud that had originated during the Sword Ancestor Holy Land's internal selection also came to an end.

Bian Ruxue watched her Holy Son Brightmoon Senior Brother, eyes covered and roaring in pain, falling into silence.

Many Holy Sons of the Sword Ancestor Holy Land watched this battle in silence. Holy Son Brightmoon, who had easily defeated Lin Qingying in the past, was now defeated by her with a single counter-attack. Not only had she caught up, but she had also overwhelmed him.

They also knew that the feud between these two was more than just a battle for the top ten.

However, outsiders were unaware of these origins, only knowing that this battle… was not satisfying enough.

After Lin Qingying and Holy Son Brightmoon finished their battle, Lin Zhuo and Bai Yuan took the stage, instantly attracting cheers from the entire audience.

Neither of them showed any intention of conceding defeat, and a great battle quickly erupted.

Li Hao smiled at Lin Qingying and, along with her, watched the battle between the personal disciples of Supreme Saints.

Compared to his fight, the clash between Bai Yuan and Lin Zhuo had more techniques and seemed more intense.

Many techniques were useless and could not be displayed in his Dao Domain, so Bai Yuan hadn't used them, but against Lin Zhuo, some techniques caused waves of exclamations.

Li Hao could see that Lin Zhuo was still slightly inferior.

Unsurprisingly, before long, this battle ended with Lin Zhuo's defeat.

"No wonder Lin Zhuo conceded, he's no match for Bai Yuan, and Bai Yuan is no match for Hao Tian."

"Currently, it seems Hao Tian's combat power is number one!"

"Don't forget there are still several who haven't fought with their full strength. That Qiu Tianlu and Xiao Tianyu, they are both contenders for the top spot!"

The crowd was discussing, and busybodies had already ranked the top ten based on current performances, with Li Hao temporarily ranked first.

Behind him were Xiao Tianyu and Qiu Tianlu, and fourth was Bai Yuan.

Before long, Li Hao's match arrived.

He stood up, stepped onto the stage, and waited quietly for his opponent.

On the other side, Wu Tian took a deep breath and walked onto the stage as well, his expression solemn.

"One is Hao Tian, and the other is Wu Tian. This Wu Tian is also a personal disciple of a Legalist Saint, very powerful."

"I bet Hao Tian will still win!"

"Is that even a bet? Who doesn't know that?"

"Don't go too far, Wu Tian is still a personal disciple of a Legalist Supreme Saint, maybe he's a dark horse."

"Dark horse? Can he be darker than Hao Tian? He's from the mortal realm, after all."

The crowd below was engaged in heated discussion.

As the magic array solidified, sealing off the stage, Li Hao and Wu Tian faced each other, the noise from outside being completely isolated.

"I want to experience your Eternal Dao Domain."

Wu Tian gave Li Hao a smile, speaking peacefully, showing no fighting spirit or hostility.

Indeed, after seeing Li Hao subdue the Azure Deer King under his buttocks, he felt that the other person had extraordinary abilities, and there was nothing to be jealous of.

This battle was for the purpose of exchanging pointers.

Li Hao was somewhat surprised to hear these words, and after thinking for a moment, said, "Alright."

Then, after Wu Tian displayed his extreme realm and condensed his Dharma form of Heaven and Earth, Li Hao correspondingly unleashed his Eternal Dao Domain.

As the Dao Domain suppressed, Li Hao used the sword domain power within the Dao Domain. Countless sword shadow laws superimposed, suppressing even the Saintly Dao Embryo. Wu Tian quickly conceded defeat.

"Indeed powerful…"

Wu Tian smiled wryly. Although he had lost, he held no resentment, cupping his hands towards Li Hao and saying, "Thank you."

After speaking, he turned and left the stage.

Seeing these two so amicable, many people below the stage began to discuss.

"Is this a case of heroes cherishing heroes? That Wu Tian is also very strong, the oppressive force of that Dharma form almost made me unable to breathe."

"Unfortunately, the Eternal Dao Domain is just too terrifying, the ultimate Dao Domain suppression, it's a bit invincible!"

"In just a hundred years, who can cultivate the eighth extreme realm? Using it here is practically bullying the weak."

"Speaking of bullying the weak, Hao Tian is only 28 years old, isn't he the younger one?"

"Actually, I knew Wu Tian would lose a long time ago. You can tell from their names, Hao Tian has one more horizontal stroke than Wu Tian!"

The crowd laughed and joked.

Within the Legalist Holy Land, many Legalist disciples wore cold expressions. They knew that although Holy Son Wu Tian was strong, he was not the strongest among the Legalist Holy Land's top talents. The most powerful was Holy Son Qiu Tianlu. When he took the stage, it would surely be a fierce battle.

"These reincarnated Saints, unless they unlock the shackles of the Saintly Dao and release their past life's power, it's impossible for them to win against him."

In the waiting area, Azure Deer King's eyes flickered. He had been humiliated by Li Hao before, but now that Li Hao had displayed terrifying power, his feeling of humiliation had faded.

Although he still held hatred in his heart, he didn't have much intention of revenge, only blaming himself for being inferior.

Seeing Li Hao win smoothly, Ji Xuantian and others gave him congratulatory looks. Li Hao smiled at them and continued to wait quietly for the matches to come.

Before long, the third round ended, and the fourth round pairings began.

This time, Li Hao stared intently at the rotating and flying tokens. He saw that within the laws, these tokens were chaotic and unordered. After it was over, the laws dissipated, and there was nothing unusual.

Doubt arose in Li Hao's eyes. At the same time, he also saw his opponent.

Hua!

The crowd instantly erupted like a boiling pot, bursting into an uproar.

In the waiting area, Wu Tian's expression also subtly changed, never expecting that this top-tier battle would take place at this moment.

Hao Tian versus Qiu Tianlu!

Below the stage, many Legalist disciples' eyes lit up immediately.

Wu Tian's defeat just now had tarnished their Holy Land's reputation. They hadn't expected that in the blink of an eye, their opponent would be Qiu Tianlu.

This was their Legalist Holy Land's strongest prodigy, and also a reincarnated Saint, reborn to mend the laws of discipline, extremely formidable.

Hearing the numerous discussions in the crowd, Li Hao couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly. Another tough nut to crack, and it seemed like an especially hard one.

He turned his gaze and saw that the Twin Buddha Child's opponent was Lin Qingying.

Although Lin Qingying's Void Sword Dao was strong, the Twin Buddha Child possessed a Saintly Dao Embryo, already equivalent to a Semi-Saint. This battle would likely result in a win for the Buddha Child.

As Li Hao frowned, Qiu Tianlu, dressed in pure white robes, looked over at Li Hao. Seeing the young man's frown when he first saw his pairing, a smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of his mouth.

He hadn't expected that he would encounter his opponent here.

But since they had met, he would show no mercy.

It was a good opportunity to rectify law and discipline, letting the other party know that one should act according to their status, and all things in Heaven and Earth should abide by their respective laws of discipline.

"Something's not right."

Outside the crowd, Feng Boping and Lie Tian Saint stood together, both frowning.

One or two matches could be considered coincidence, but four matches in a row all against personal disciples of Supreme Saints, all famous prodigies – this was too unlucky.

If Li Hao's luck was truly this bad, he wouldn't have been able to cultivate to this level.

"It might be that bald donkey playing tricks…"

Lie Tian Saint narrowed his eyes, glancing at the Buddha Lord who wore a compassionate smile.

"You're saying, it's his Great Karma Technique?"

Feng Boping's eyes narrowed, a sharp killing intent flashing through them.

It was supposed to be a fair competition, but the other party was secretly rigging things using such methods, making Li Hao's path through the hundred-strong tournament fraught with difficulty.

"No, the Great Karma Technique leaves traces. If it were used, the other Supreme Saints would definitely be able to detect the signs and intervene. After all, this grand event, if they were to openly rig it like this, there'd be no need to hold it anymore."

Lie Tian Saint shook his head, his eyes flickering, and said, "I've heard that within Buddhism, there seems to be an ancient lineage of Buddhist supernatural powers, called Destiny…"

"Destiny?"

Feng Boping was slightly taken aback.

"That's right, the Great Destiny Technique, equivalent to the power of the Reverse Destiny Realm, and even stronger in effect, able to alter destiny at will. If they used such methods, even Supreme Saints would be unable to perceive it. After all, destiny is unpredictable, involving the Heavenly Dao. Unless one can comprehend the Heavenly Dao, they can't perceive the traces of destiny…"

Lie Tian Saint said in a low voice.

Feng Boping was stunned, never expecting Buddhism to possess such terrifying supernatural powers.

He couldn't help but look at the other party and asked, "How did you find out about this?"

"Don't ask about that," Lie Tian Saint shook his head, frowning and saying, "It's just a rumor, the truth is unknown, but if it's true, then they've likely used it on Hao Tian, suppressing his destiny. In this prodigy battle, his luck will be extremely bad, and even worse outcomes might occur."

Upon hearing this, Feng Boping's expression turned ugly, saying, "I'll go find Origin Saint."

"It's useless. Matters of destiny, even Origin Saint can't change. And this matter has no basis, it's just my speculation. And my words… you know, among the Saints, they have no credibility. Only a fool like you would believe me."

Lie Tian Saint shook his head.

Feng Boping paused, his face darkening, "Then are we just going to wait and do nothing?"

"We can only do that,"

Lie Tian Saint said in a low voice, "Now we can only see if he can withstand it. Fortunately, he's performing well. In my opinion, this title of Number One in the Heavens is indeed his for the taking."

"Even if he can become Number One in the Heavens, but being challenged in turn before the top ten battles, who can endure that?"

Feng Boping clenched his fists slightly, anger and a hint of helplessness showing in his eyes, "If other prodigies could become Number One in the Heavens, their masters would definitely cherish and protect them. Why would they let him suffer such grievances? I'm too useless!"

Lie Tian Saint was slightly silent, saying to him, "Don't blame yourself too much, we have already done our best."

Feng Boping said no more, looking towards the waiting area, worry showing in his eyes.

"That Qiu Tianlu, I heard he inherited the mantle of the Law Saint, a personal disciple of a Supreme Saint, and was once a Saint himself. Reincarnated and rebuilding his cultivation, he's likely to be even more terrifying than others."

While they were worried, on the stage, the fourth round of battles began.

As the other Holy Sons and Holy Daughters fought one after another, intense battles passed by. Before long, it was time for the duel between Li Hao and Qiu Tianlu.

After the battle between the two Holy Sons in the previous match ended, and before they could even step down from the stage, fierce cheers erupted below.

Hearing the waves of shouts, the two on stage exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes. Compared to the two coming up next, they seemed to be merely supporting green leaves.

Li Hao didn't wait long. Hearing his name called, he soared onto the stage.

On the other side, Qiu Tianlu, seeing Li Hao take the stage, slowly rose. He was dressed in pure white, his robes emitting a faint silken sheen, appearing elegant and refined, with an extraordinary bearing.

As he stood up, the cheers from the scene reached a new peak.

Many Legalist disciples were shouting at the top of their lungs:

"Holy Son Qiu Tianlu will surely win!"

"Holy Son is invincible, let them see the power of the Legalist school!"

Amidst the waves of shouts, Qiu Tianlu wore a calm expression, walking with composure on empty air, stepping onto the stage.

As he landed, the magic array solidified, sealing off the stage.

Li Hao and Qiu Tianlu faced each other from afar. Li Hao's expression was calm. For him, encountering four personal disciples of Supreme Saints in a row was indeed unexpected, and he always felt that something was fishy, but no matter what, he was here to take first place. If someone was intentionally arranging this, then he would just defeat them one by one.

Qiu Tianlu saw Li Hao's calm expression, the corners of his mouth slightly curving upwards. Recalling Li Hao's frown when he first saw that he was paired with him, those emotions at that moment couldn't be faked.

"Wu Tian lost to you, but he didn't fight you to the death, so he lost easily."

Qiu Tianlu said softly, these words were spoken for Wu Tian's sake, and also for the Legalist Holy Land.

Li Hao understood, but just looked at him, not responding.

"You indeed have things to be proud of, but pride is not a reason for you to overstep the bounds of law and discipline."

Qiu Tianlu smiled slightly, "After this battle, I hope you can come to my Legalist school and listen to the teachings of the Saintly Dao."

"Huh?"

Li Hao raised an eyebrow, saying, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

"Saints possess the majesty of Saints, which cannot be offended, just like the principles of ruler and subject, fatherly love and filial piety, which cannot be violated!"

Qiu Tianlu said, "I heard that you discussed Dao with a Saint, showing disrespect. If you yourself were also a Saint, saying such words wouldn't be considered overstepping, but you are only in the Dao Manifestation Realm, it's somewhat discourteous and unlawful!"

Li Hao suddenly understood, realizing he was referring to the Buddhist matter.

He was somewhat speechless, "That's my personal issue with Buddhism, what does it have to do with you? You seem to have some kind of… problem…"

Qiu Tianlu shook his head, "Within all Heavens, all must abide by law and discipline. Though it's your private feud with Buddhism, it's not a reason to break rules and laws."

Li Hao immediately laughed, "Are you receiving benefits from Buddhism, or are you really brain-damaged? You say I offended a Saint, then why not talk about why the Saint targeted a Dao Manifestation Realm cultivator? You say I disrespect his Saintly majesty, then why not talk about why he doesn't cherish the weak?"

"Even if he bullies you, you must endure it, because you are only in the Dao Manifestation Realm. If not for relying on the help of other Saints, how could you be so arrogant?"

Qiu Tianlu's face darkened.

Hearing these words, Li Hao immediately became too lazy to waste words with him. It was the first time he had seen someone taking sides so righteously and indignantly.

Moreover, this was his matter with Buddhism, yet the other party jumped out to say he was wrong, meddling in others' affairs to a ridiculous degree.

"Your so-called law is nothing more than the law of the jungle, the strong are revered. It's normal for a Saint to insult me, but if I retaliate, it's disrespecting the Saint. You have the same face of admiring the strong as everyone else, so why bother saying it so loftily!"

Li Hao's Heaven and Earth Meridians manifested behind him, and power poured into his body continuously.

"Since it's the law of the jungle, then let's see how you discuss law under my feet!"

Qiu Tianlu raised an eyebrow, speaking calmly, "Law is based on power. Without power to assist it, law is just a castle in the air. Then let me first show you the force of law!"

As he spoke, his extreme realm manifested behind him, and Heaven and Earth Meridians also appeared, like huge funnel vortexes.

At the same time, a majestic Dharma form projected from the battlefield, Dao rhythm swirling around it, like a Saintly Dao Dharma form!

"That, that's a Saintly Dao Dharma form!"

"No, that's a Saintly Dao Embryo, it's his Dharma form from his past life!"

"This, how are we supposed to fight against this?!"

Countless people from the Heavenly Origin World were frightened by the Dharma form behind Qiu Tianlu. The Dharma form was surrounded by diverse phenomena, laws of discipline like scriptures encircling it, Dao rhythm blooming like radiant clouds, as if it were a majestic Saint!

This scene stunned not only those below the stage, but also many in the waiting area, their eyes widening in shock.

Wu Tian, who had previously been defeated, also showed a slight change in expression, his face becoming extremely grave.

He had fought Qiu Tianlu before and been defeated, but the other party hadn't used such a Dharma form. Had the other party already secretly begun to merge and fuse with his past life? He must have been quietly merging with his past life! Without this incense offering, he could also break through the bottleneck and return to his previous life's cultivation, or even surpass it!

"His Saintly Dao from his past life has actually revived, indicating that his cultivation in this life has already reached its peak."

"This is too bullying, even if a Semi-Saint went up, they'd probably be instantly defeated."

"This is already between a Semi-Saint and a Saint, calling it a Pseudo-Saint wouldn't be an exaggeration."

As the near-Saintly Dharma form manifested, countless people below the stage felt this transcendent and terrifying oppressive force.

It was oppression from a Saint revealing their true form.

Although there were Saints of the Heavens present, some revealing their aura, it was only naturally revealed, while at this moment, Qiu Tianlu's Dharma form was fully unleashing the Saintly aura, causing many to feel an impulse to rise and kneel in worship.

Li Hao's eyes narrowed. The aura of this Dharma form was extremely terrifying. It contained not only the power of a Saintly Dao Embryo, but also some Saintly power projected across the space-time of past and present lives!

Just because it was projected and inherited across space-time, it wasn't so intense, not a true Saint descending, but even so, combined with that Saintly Dao Embryo, it already far surpassed the Dao Manifestation Realm, truly approaching the existence of a Saint!

If the incense offering in this life was sufficient, inheriting all that power would truly make him a Saint!

"Your casual intervention in my matter with Buddhism, is it relying on this?"

Coldness appeared in Li Hao's eyes. Some people, confident in their extreme power, casually judged other people's grievances, even casually intervening to take sides, which made him feel even more hateful than Buddhism.

Qiu Tianlu's expression was calm, not answering, as he himself merged into the Saintly Dharma form.

He knew that Li Hao's Dao Domain was extremely strong, and his sword Dao was also terrifying, but before a Saintly Dharma form, all could be obliterated!

The Saintly Dao was transcendent, unless it was a Dao discussion between Saints, it could be weakened, even obliterated, otherwise it would be difficult to destroy it by force, unless it was a Supreme Saint.

Unleashing this trump card was already his highest recognition of Li Hao's strength, and at the same time, he knew that in this state, he was already invincible!

"I heard you have mastered the Sixth Extreme Realm, show it to me, let me see it!"

Standing within the Saintly Dharma form, Qiu Tianlu's eyes flickered with light, speaking indifferently.

Hearing this, Li Hao revealed a sneer in his eyes. This was also one of the other party's intentions, right?

Wanting to witness the power of Immortal Transformation, using it for enlightenment?

Li Hao was not incapable of granting his wish.

"With your mere abilities, you are not worthy!"

Li Hao roared, golden light erupting from his body, extreme realms manifesting.

Except for Immortal Transformation, all other extreme realms were displayed, and the Eternal Dao Domain also manifested. At the same time, his Dharma form of Heaven and Earth emerged behind him.

Li Hao turned and stepped into the Dharma form, merging with it. In an instant, the violent power within the Dharma form amplified into the Dao Domain. The Eternal Dao Domain, unleashed by the Dharma form of Heaven and Earth, caused the entire stage to seem to groan in pain and unbearable strain!

This was the first time Li Hao had fused the Dharma form power with the Dao Domain, unleashing a portion of his true power!

As the Dao Domain enveloped, space itself seemed to warp, and even time seemed to freeze under Li Hao's Dao Domain!

Eternity, an instant of immortality!

Li Hao's palm flipped, and the Merit Name Sword in the Heaven and Earth space landed in his palm.

The Dao Domain extended, sweeping towards Qiu Tianlu's Saintly Dharma form, bulldozing its way forward.

Qiu Tianlu also used his Saintly Dharma form to unleash his own Dao Domain, 108 layers of Dao Domain woven together, the Heavenly Cycle Law and Discipline Dao Domain!

However, this Law and Discipline Dao Domain, containing the power of the Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend stars, instantly extinguished under the spread of the Eternal Dao Domain, shattering as easily as a glass罩 (zhào - cover/shade)!

Qiu Tianlu's expression changed slightly. His Dao Domain, extended by the Saintly Dharma form, had greatly increased in power, yet it had been shattered so quickly.

Only now, in direct contact, did he truly feel the power of this Eternal Dao Domain, even more terrifying than what he had seen while spectating.

"Only I, Strike!!"

Li Hao's aura erupted, his golden hair rising in fury. He suddenly swung the Merit Name Sword. At this moment, Dao Domain, Dharma form, and swordsmanship, three powers merged into one!

Previously, many people had seen Li Hao's three methods separately.

Each method could defeat a personal disciple of a Supreme Saint. Now, they finally saw the three powers combined!

In the waiting area, Wu Tian, Lin Zhuo, Bai Yuan, and others all widened their eyes, their pupils reflecting the majestic Dharma form, the terrifying sword light condensed in the Dharma form's palm.

The pressure of that sword strike was a hundred times more dazzling than before, causing everyone below the stage, throughout the entire Holy Mountain, to feel a terrifying and piercing sword intent, sweeping across their bodies, giving them a shivering sensation.

Was this… the young man's strongest power?!

Bang!

Li Hao's sword light struck out in an instant, swung from the Dharma form's hand, like smearing a dazzling white stroke across Heaven and Earth.

Everyone's vision seemed to be cleaved apart, unable to see anything else, only that eternal sword light, following the amplification of the Eternal Dao Domain, striking out at unimaginable speed.

As this sword emerged, the expressions of many Saints outside the arena turned grave.

The Saints of the Origin Ancestral Holy Land's expressions subtly changed, secretly unleashing power, merging it into the magic array. The previous magic array might not be able to withstand this sword strike!

Qiu Tianlu's expression also became solemn. The spreading Eternal Dao Domain had solidified space, but upon touching his Saintly Dharma form, it was isolated by the Saintly Dao power within. But he could feel the pressure brought by the Dao Domain, like ten thousand mountains pressing down on him, threatening to crush him completely if he relaxed even slightly!

"Heaven and Earth Law and Discipline!"

Qiu Tianlu unleashed the power of his Saintly Dao Embryo. The Saintly Dharma form suddenly raised its hand, its palm filled with intense Law and Discipline power. That power could make all things revere its law.

He raised his hand and roared, gripping towards Li Hao's sword light, wanting to crush it!

Two terrifying forces instantly collided on the battlefield. Heaven and Earth lost color in an instant, and intense light overwhelmed both majestic Dharma forms.

Accompanied by rumbling vibrations, the battlefield shook, and the entire Heavenly Origin Holy Mountain trembled slightly.

This tremor made many people unsteady, nearly falling over.

Such a scene was also transmitted through the Boundary Stones, and those watching in various Divine Dynasties, though unable to feel the direct oppressive force, could sense the terror of this contest through the violent tremors.

"Is this a battle in the Dao Manifestation Realm? How does it feel like a Saintly war!"

"Too exaggerated, my eyes are going blind."

"Such pure sword intent, watching through the Boundary Stone, I can feel my heart clenching."

Many people were horrified, straining their eyes to see, wanting to know the outcome.

As the light dissipated, on the stage, the two majestic Dharma forms still stood tall, like two towering stone monuments.

However, to everyone's astonishment, a deep sword mark had appeared on Qiu Tianlu's Saintly Dharma form's palm, the palm almost being severed!

Looking back at Li Hao's side, the Dao Domain was solidified, his momentum still at its peak.

"His sword, can actually wound the Saintly Dao!"

"That's not true Saintly Dao, just a Saintly Dao Embryo and the shadow of the Saintly Dao from his past life."

"This is already terrifying enough."

In the waiting area, everyone was shocked, their eyes filled with horror.

What kind of monsters were these two?

In the crowd, Xiao Tianyu's brows were also furrowed, an unprecedented solemnity appearing in his eyes.

Lin Qingying, Ji Xuantian, and others were shocked, worry emerging in their eyes.

This Qiu Tianlu was different from other Holy Sons, the power he displayed was too terrifying, obviously much stronger than Lin Zhuo and Bai Yuan, no wonder he was a favorite to win first place.

On the stage, Li Hao's gaze narrowed. He hadn't expected his sword Dao to be blocked.

The Only I Sword Dao, fused with many sword Daos, had actually failed to completely sever the opponent's Dharma form!

Saintly Dao… Killing intent appeared in Li Hao's eyes. Using the shadow of past life's power, trying to suppress him?

He knew that relying solely on the Only I Sword Dao was not enough. If it were Immortal Guiding the Way… the opponent was not worthy!

"Is this your strongest sword strike? Next, it's my turn!"

Qiu Tianlu retracted his palm, looking at the sword mark on the Saintly Dharma form's palm. Killing intent also emerged in his eyes. He hadn't expected his Saintly Dao to be almost severed. The power of the other party's sword strike was beyond imagination, but it ended here!

His aura suddenly surged again, and then he raised his hand once more, Law and Discipline scriptures appearing in his eyes. For others, mastering two or three types of Dao-Entering level power was already amazing, but what he comprehended was the Law and Discipline of Heaven and Earth, aiming to understand all Daos in the world, only then would be the end!

And by then, his Saintly Dao would be completed, and he would directly become a Supreme Saint!

As the Dharma form raised its hand again, a huge brush appeared in Qiu Tianlu's palm.

This brush looked like a calligraphy brush. As the Dharma form held it, it was like an ancient Saint, about to write a new chapter for Heaven and Earth!

"Suppress!"

As the brush moved quickly, drawing, the Law and Discipline word "镇" (zhèn - suppress) manifested, Saintly Dao power flowing. Qiu Tianlu's eyes were cold and sharp.

Bang! With a loud sound, this power suddenly suppressed Li Hao, like an irresistible force, forcefully squeezing open Li Hao's Eternal Dao Domain, acting on him.

But the power of the Eternal Dao Domain was extremely strong. By the time the opponent broke through the Dao Domain, nearly half of its power had been consumed. The power acting on his Dharma form was much reduced, but even so, it still felt like carrying a mountain on his back.

Li Hao felt the irresistible Saintly will in that power, knowing that it was the Saintly power from the other party's past life.

Saintly Dao, Saintly Dao, what was Saintly Dao? It was the Dao recognized by Heaven and Earth, the Dao blessed by the power of Heaven and Earth!

What he had to contend with was not only the other party's Saintly Dao, but also the power of Heaven and Earth contained within this Dao!

Immortal Transformation?

Li Hao didn't intend to use it.

Under this pressure and stimulation, he also called out his own Saintly Dao sprout.

That original embryonic sprout had already manifested an appearance, the Dao of All Living Beings.

But it was not the origin Li Hao needed.

At this moment, Li Hao seemed to faintly glimpse this origin.

But this vague feeling, at this critical moment, he had no time to grasp it.

"First borrow the appearance, to break your Saintly Dao!"

Cold light appeared in Li Hao's eyes. The sword light in his hand shone again. This time, he fused the appearance of the Saintly Dao Embryo of All Living Beings into the Only I Sword Dao!

The reason the opponent could mobilize the Saintly Dao power from his past life was mainly relying on his own Saintly Dao Embryo as a driver. Then, he would break his Embryo!

Bang!

Li Hao swung his sword again. This sword strike seemed to have ten thousand lights and shadows flashing.

On the sword芒 (máng - point/edge/radiance), the many sword Dao powers Li Hao had comprehended emerged.

Gentle Sword Dao, Void Sword Dao, Sun and Moon Sword Dao, Ice and Snow Sword Dao, and so on…

Many sword Daos were all manifestations of this Saintly Dao Embryo, the Dao of All Living Beings!

In the waiting area below the stage, Holy Son Brightmoon, though his eyes were open, his gaze was vacant. Feeling the suddenly diverse and complex auras, he couldn't help but try to widen his eyes, wanting to see what was happening. He hurriedly said:

"Master, has Master taken action?"

Lin Qingying's sword strike had not only extinguished his Sun and Moon Divine Eyes, even if his divine soul left his body, he still couldn't see, his divine soul's eyes also being obscured by the Void Sword Dao!

On the other side, Bian Ruxue was stunned.

That sword strike with diverse phenomena, that sword strike reflecting all living beings.

That was her master's sword Dao!

Sword Dao of All Living Beings!

Once, when she had just arrived at the Land of Saints, she had seen such a sword strike, dazzling to the extreme, magnificent to the extreme!

And this sword strike had made her vaguely glimpse at that time, that this was the ultimate sword strike!

The magnificence of this sword strike was beyond her imagination, always regarded by her as the pinnacle of sword Dao, but now, she actually saw it in Li Hao's hands.

The same sword strike, equally brilliant and dazzling!

Seeing this sword strike, many Saints turned their gaze towards the Sword Saint. Had the other party's sword Dao actually been passed down to this person?

The Sword Saint's main body hadn't come, only an avatar was present. Seeing Li Hao unleash the Sword Dao of All Living Beings, his expression also subtly changed.

And the Sword Master was stunned.

He knew that his junior brother would not pass this sword technique to anyone, but he hadn't expected that this child would also comprehend this sword technique.

For a moment, his expression became somewhat complex.
