Chapter 388 Dao Ancestor

Seeing Li Hao's composure, and recalling the methods he had just used to kill the Star Saint, Ying Xiaoxiao's own nervousness couldn't help but ease.

She knew Li Hao had weathered various deadly tribulations, always turning danger into safety. Back then, Li Hao was far from having his current strength.

Boom!!

At this moment, the entire Void Abyss suddenly trembled violently, shaking like the sky was falling and the earth was splitting. Terrifying vibrations emanated from the void rifts, followed by the gathering of a chaotic light, slowly spreading outwards from the cracks.

However, this seemingly slow expansion was actually instantaneous.

It was like the universe exploding, heaven and earth collapsing in an instant. Li Hao's pupils shrank as he felt terrifying destructive power from the chaotic light.

Every hair on his body stood on end. His Dao Domain instantly enveloped Ying Xiaoxiao, and his figure retreated rapidly.

At the same time, the Dragon God on the other side also regained his senses and was the first to soar into the distance.

The other God race Saints also scattered in panic.

Fortunately, the chaotic power seemed to consciously deviate, avoiding the God race's direction, but the Demon Slaughter Assembly was left completely exposed.

"What, what power is this?"

"Chaos, termination?"

"Run!"

"Even the Saintly Dao is annihilated, is that the Heavenly Dao?"

Many Saints were horrified, feeling terrified as they scattered to escape. Was this the impact of a battle between Source Ancestor and God King?

Within the void rift, the powers of origin and termination collided to their extremes.

Source Ancestor mastered the power of origin, viewing origin as the beginning of all things.

The God King cultivated the Extreme Dao and had also condensed his own Saintly Dao. His Saintly Dao was termination.

All things will terminate, and termination is also the beginning.

Their Saintly Daos were similar in different ways, yet completely different, like fated enemies.

At this moment, the powers of origin and termination, erupting from their respective divine realms, reached the pinnacle of Sainthood, tearing the void, shattering all laws, and revealing the most fundamental chaos of that world.

Chaos devoured everything, including the Saintly Dao.

The Saints' Saintly Daos were all born after chaos, not before it, so they could not resist it.

"Without them, relying solely on you, you still want to replay the story?"

The God King stared fixedly at Source Ancestor. They had once drunk together, addressed each other as brothers, and appreciated each other, who would have thought they would later become mortal enemies!

"You want to kill me for revenge? Can you manage it?" Source Ancestor looked at him calmly.

The God King's eyes suddenly revealed ferocity: "That ancient hall is about to open, I cannot kill you, but I will absolutely not let you get your wish!"

"Back then, the bronze seat was given to you. And the result? So many years, have you become an immortal?"

As he said this, he couldn't help but sneer.

Source Ancestor said indifferently: "You know, since my cultivation from the ancient times until now, my only wish is to see beyond that world. Since you understand me, you should also understand that if I take that step, and I can turn back, I will definitely take you with me."

"Bah!"

The God King spat, sneering, "If I take that step, I will also turn back and take you with me, why don't you give me this chance?"

Source Ancestor quietly glanced at him, knowing that further argument on this matter was meaningless. He said, "Then let's see if you have the ability!"

They had agreed in the past to become brothers as immortals and gods together, but now they were doing their utmost to prevent each other from becoming immortals. This was perhaps the irony of fate.

"Die!"

The God King roared, the golden flames around his body becoming even more violent. At the same time, layers upon layers of Dao Domains stacked, reaching the extreme of 360 layers in an instant.

Eternal Dao Domain!

His Eternal Dao Domain was filled with endless flames, like an eternal fire domain, burning crimson, carrying his anger accumulated over countless years.

As the power of the Dao Domain spread, his aura surged, and the power of termination erupted with even more terrifying erosive force.

Source Ancestor also raised his hand, and Dao Domains stacked layer upon layer, also revealing themselves to be an Eternal Dao Domain.

In his Dao Domain, stars flickered and died, all things grew, occasionally transforming into brilliant, hazy orange-red divine light, like the chaotic light of heaven and earth at the very beginning.

Both erupted with Eternal Dao Domains, colliding with each other, each borrowing the power of the Heavenly Dao, and cooperating with their own Saintly Daos to devour each other.

However, their extreme realms were the same, and they both had cultivated the power of termination to the final extreme.

The path of the second final extreme was somewhat different.

Outside the Heavenly Veins, what the God King condensed was the God Meridian. Using his own divine realm Saintly Dao, he forcibly opened up a God Meridian, connecting heaven and earth, attracting power from all directions. Its effect was extremely domineering, comparable to two Heavenly Veins.

Source Ancestor's was the Myriad Things Meridian.

Within the Heavenly Veins, he used myriad things as reflections, planting Dao energy meridians, composing them together, its power surpassing even the God King's God Meridian.

As the stalemate continued, Source Ancestor's momentum gradually gained the upper hand. The Myriad Things Meridian became more majestic and profound, and just as it seemed about to suppress the God King, suddenly, the God King's aura erupted from within his body, reversing the situation in an instant.

"Ancestral God Meridian, blood origin is the path of the second final extreme!"

The God King's eyes were sharp. He had long experienced the terrifying nature of the Myriad Things Meridian, and therefore, before this battle, he had already comprehended a method to counter it.

He used bloodline as a guide, using God race offspring as meridians, achieving the Ancestral God Meridian, which could plunder the power of the God race at any time, integrating it into himself.

At this moment, outside the void rift, within the God race army, the power within their bodies was flowing away from the God race bloodline, converging towards the God King through a special path. This method of meridian opening, like Extreme Dao cultivation, was not only powerful but also extremely fast to cultivate!

After all, he already had a vast number of offspring, a whole race.

Source Ancestor's expression changed slightly. His cultivation was long and his foundation extremely deep, but he had to admit that the God King's talent was astonishing, unprecedented, and perhaps unsurpassable.

Pioneering the Extreme Dao cultivation system, and now, opening up the second final extreme through bloodlines. These two powers were not only formidable but also simple to begin with and extremely fast to cultivate, bridging the gap in foundation accumulated over his long years.

In the eyes of others, he pioneered the Saint realm, becoming the first Saint between heaven and earth. With no precedents to follow, he was an unparalleled genius.

But whenever he faced the God King, he felt a sense of his own dullness and mediocrity.

Boom!

Source Ancestor's Dao Domain integrated with the power of the Saintly Dao, transforming into an Eternal Saintly Domain. The misty divine light, like the origin of all things, enveloped the God King.

The God King's Dao Domain also transformed, divine flames sweeping across, the power of termination enveloping it, causing everything to wither and decay, with traces of the law of time within it.

As the two forces stalemated again, the power of the Ancestral God Meridian revealed its advantage, and the God King's Saintly Domain gradually gained the upper hand.

"Humph, take out your Great Azure God Seal."

The God King said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Source Ancestor seemed to grant his wish, and a divine light suddenly shot out from his palm.

The light spun and flew, like a rapidly expanding small world.

Boom!

The void trembled. It was a terrifying divine seal, but it contained the power of a world.

This was definitely not a borrowed sliver of power, but a true small world being suppressed!

The God King sneered and suddenly drew his sword. But just as he was about to strike, suddenly, a frigid light slashed over.

This light was extremely abrupt, suddenly piercing into his Eternal Saintly Domain, as if there was a special channel within, allowing it to travel unimpeded.

Boom!

The God King had no time to react, seemingly completely unprepared. The back of his magnificent armor was pierced, and a cold aura enveloped him, freezing even the divine flames on his body.

As the sword was drawn back, the God King's body suddenly shattered.

Behind his shattered body, a figure with white hair and white eyebrows appeared, his expression cold.

But before he could retract his palm, suddenly, the God King's body re-condensed behind him, almost instantaneously returning to normal.

However, the God King, just recovered, was met with the Great Azure God Seal falling head-on.

Boom!

The God King's body was enveloped by the Great Azure God Seal. His entire Saintly Domain shattered, and he was shrouded in a terrifying force of tribulation.

And the white-haired old man seized the opportunity to raise his hand, and restrictions appeared in the void, intending to cooperate with the divine seal to lock down the God King again.

Outside the void rift, the Saints who had retreated to a distance were all holding their breath and watching intently.

The power that constantly震荡ed out from the rift was breathtaking, primal forces capable of directly obliterating Saints.

"Who will win between the God King and Source Ancestor?"

"That God King is even stronger than I imagined. I thought Source Ancestor could easily resolve him, but I didn't expect it to become a protracted battle."

"You haven't seen that great war back then, have you? That's the God King, a being who founded a race in the heavens! His single person's majesty awed the heavens. If it wasn't for the joint forces of the Saints, he might not have even lost back then?"

"That's right, this God King is monstrously terrifying, perhaps only that Heavenly Venerable Hao can compare."

Many Saints had already changed their address for the God King. The other party had already subdued them with his strength. As they spoke, many people looked towards Li Hao.

When they saw Ying Xiaoxiao beside Li Hao, many people suddenly realized that the Star Saint who fought with Li Hao seemed to be dead!

Killing a Star Saint was even more shocking than Li Hao continuously destroying ten Void Saintly Lands. After all, that Star Saint was an existence invincible beneath the Supreme Saint.

Although Li Hao also had this reputation, also being invincible beneath the Supreme Saint, there was still a gap between them. But now, Li Hao was absolutely top-tier!

"Too terrifying, he seems to be only one step away from Supreme Saint."

"Being able to kill a Star Saint, even the Gluttonous Saint and the Nether Saint may not be able to do it. I heard he's not even 30 years old, I wonder how he cultivates."

"Given time, his becoming a Supreme Saint is likely a certainty."

"If that ancient hall opens, and there really is a path to immortals and gods, he might have a chance to cultivate into an immortal or god in this lifetime!"

At this time, the gazes of the Saints towards Li Hao had put away their contempt, and there was no longer any hostility.

The Saints who had their Saintly Lands seized by Li Hao before now also had much clearer expressions.

While everyone was whispering, a vast force suddenly emanated from within the void rift. Immediately afterwards, three figures flew out from inside.

"Source Ancestor!"

"Isn't that Saintly Heavenly Origin, I heard he cultivates the Saintly Dao of Creation!"

"He's Source Ancestor's second disciple, he was also inside just now?"

"Such an intense battle, he's actually unscathed, could it be..."

Many people's faces changed, thinking of a terrifying guess. Was he also a Supreme Saint?

With that kind of aftermath of attack, if not a Supreme Saint, it would be hard to imagine being able to withstand it.

However, if the other party was a Supreme Saint, then Source Ancestor was far too terrifying.

Currently in the heavens, there was no Supreme Saint who had both a master and an heir.

At this moment, the God King was covered in blood-stained armor, his eyes sinister. He said to Source Ancestor, "I'll wait for you!"

After speaking, he turned around, flinging his cloak, enveloping everyone within it.

When he saw that Ying Xiaoxiao beside Li Hao was not affected by the laws of the cloak, he glanced coldly and turned to step into the rift of heaven and earth. In a short breath, he completely disappeared.

Source Ancestor remained silent, not speaking, nor pursuing.

The Saints were all stunned. Just like that, they let the God King leave?

If the other party wasn't dead, he would definitely make a comeback, but Source Ancestor didn't move. The Saints seemed to sense something.

This Source Ancestor and God King seemed to have reached some kind of cooperation.

There was only one thing that the two strongest people in the heavens could join hands to do.

Or, there could only be one reason to make them stop.

Thinking of this, everyone's gazes immediately fell on Li Hao.

When they saw Li Hao, they also noticed Ying Xiaoxiao beside him.

This was the Divine Daughter of the God race!

Now, the God King and the God race army had all retreated, leaving only this Divine Daughter here.

Some gazes containing killing intent swept across Ying Xiaoxiao, who slightly frowned, but showed no fear.

"Let's go, the banquet is over, it's time for us to go back too." Li Hao said to Ying Xiaoxiao.

The two were about to leave, but Source Ancestor suddenly called out to Li Hao. He seemed to quietly look at him for a moment, before smiling faintly, "A year from now will be the day the ancient hall opens, you need to be careful. Some people don't want the path to immortals and gods to open, they might look for trouble for you."

"Mm."

Li Hao nodded.

Then, he took Ying Xiaoxiao and the Wind Old Man's incarnation, and stepped into the rift of heaven and earth, leaving.

The Saints looked at each other in dismay. Source Ancestor didn't blame Li Hao, so the others dared not stop him even more.

Even the Star Saint was no match for Li Hao. Apart from Source Ancestor personally taking action, only that white-haired and white-browed Saintly Heavenly Origin could stop him.

Xiao Tianyu's expression was complicated. He originally thought that after becoming a Saint, he would shorten the distance with Li Hao, but he didn't expect it to widen even further. Li Hao's improvement could be called miraculous, and he already felt like he was approaching the level of his master.

After Li Hao left, the other Saints also successively bid farewell to Source Ancestor.

They knew that their next meeting would be a year later at the ancient hall.

A year was a very short time. For Saints, it was like the page of time flipping over a corner, from today to tomorrow.

For Li Hao, a year was enough time to do many things.

Playing chess, fishing, comprehending, cooking…

Li Hao was increasingly invested in cooking, feeling he was only lacking a triggering moment of insight.

Besides cooking, Li Hao constantly refined his laws. His physical body finally completely absorbed all the insights of the Ninth Tier Imperial Dao, laws and flesh merged as one!

As his Dao Bones and Divine Blood became perfected, Li Hao felt like he had touched upon a mysterious and indescribable sensation.

Having the experience of opening up the extreme realm before, Li Hao knew this was the extreme realm state.

He seemed to have transformed into the Great Dao, indestructible, and the speed of regeneration from a drop of blood could also be applied to this special state.

It must be known that the Great Dao cannot be destroyed, unless some extreme and terrifying force tears it apart, but it wouldn't be erased.

But coupled with regeneration from a drop of blood, even if torn apart, it could heal in the blink of an eye!

If he encountered the chaotic impact of the battle between Source Ancestor and God King again, Li Hao was confident he could withstand it. In terms of life-saving methods alone, he felt he might be no different from a Supreme Saint, perhaps even stronger in some aspects!

Extreme realm of Hearing the Dao…

Li Hao named it "Dao Ancestor"!

Besides transforming into the Great Dao, there were many other methods. Most importantly, Li Hao could have a vague sense and communication with the Heavenly Dao.

In other words, it was to glimpse Heavenly Will, a capability only Supreme Saints possessed!
