Chapter 419: Transcending the Mortal and Entering the Sacred, Sword Dao Tenth Level (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Previously on the ancient path, Li Hao's ninth level carving had already entered the Dao.

He was intimately familiar with the techniques of carving Dao in this world.

Jade carving, wood carving, relief carving… carving styles also had distinctions like ancient elegance and stately grandeur.

Each technique outlined different depths of carving strokes, and the power they could contain was also varied. To carve a shield similar in size to the Immortal God Remains and capable of protecting the Holy Land for countless years was extremely difficult. It wasn't just the size of the shield, but also the defense it provided during protection. If it solely relied on the shield's inherent toughness to resist the erosion of the divine sun, it definitely wouldn't last long.

Rigidity breaks, flexibility endures.

"The shield must possess the power of Yin and Yang circulation, alternating back and forth…"

Li Hao's eyes flickered. The surface of this shield must be like oars crossing, reciprocal in motion.

But this kind of flexible movement belonged to living sculpture.

Sculpting, in itself, lies in the carving.

"The material I need to carve…"

Li Hao's gaze swept across, looking at this blazing and enormous divine sun. At this moment, the Immortal God Remains was submerged in the center of the divine sun, surrounded by fiery flows that were like liquid yet like gas, from which thick solar essence was seeping out.

The fiery flow was like a scorching gas flow, yet also like a fluid of some substance melted to near vaporization, swirling and rippling around.

Li Hao's eyes flashed. If he were to say what material was most suitable to resist the erosion of the divine sun's power, then naturally it would be the divine sun itself!

But, to carve the divine sun?

This idea was extremely audacious. Li Hao had never considered it before, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a strong sense of challenge.

He took a deep breath and used his power to gather the fiery flow around the divine sun, kneading it together.

This fiery flow was soft, yet contained Dao power. Carving solid objects was effortless for Li Hao, but carving something like this that was like gas and like water felt somewhat tricky.

Li Hao took out a broken immortal sword and tried to carve it.

However, although the broken immortal sword was sharp, it was like a blade stabbing into water, the water automatically yielding.

Carving… how could one carve water?

Li Hao couldn't help but sink into contemplation.

He had never considered this kind of problem. How could water be carved? How could air be carved?

In the Immortal God Remains, the Sages and Feng Boping and the others saw Li Hao sitting in the void of the divine sun, seemingly lost in thought. He was surrounded by a thick fiery flow, almost obscuring his face.

The scorching high temperature and chaotic yet orderly destructive power made them afraid to stay for long.

"Heavenly Venerable Hao, what is he doing?"

"I don't know, but he seems to be thinking of a way."

"Let's not watch either. Heavenly Venerable Hao is working so hard to think of a solution, we can't just sit idly by and entrust all our hopes to him. We also have to try our best."

"That's right."

The Sages all took a deep look at the young man, and then they also began to ponder solutions. Dark Sage found a few Sages skilled in refining artifacts and asked for their help to repair the Mirror of Heavenly Gaze. As for the heavenly treasures needed to repair this mirror, Dark Sage was short on them, and some Sages generously offered to lend them to him for now.

In this moment of life and death, the Sages also united and worked together.

Before long, the Mirror of Heavenly Gaze was repaired. This time, Dark Sage did not dare to use it to directly spy on the True Immortal Ancient Demon, but instead spied on the edge of that small world.

Peering slowly inwards from the edge, they still saw people fleeing everywhere, but it was enough to see that this small world had not yet been slaughtered by the True Immortal Ancient Demon.

"As expected, the opponent is feeding, devouring the souls of our human race and other races."

Dark Sage's heart was filled with shock and anger. With the True Immortal Ancient Demon's strength, if it simply wanted to destroy this small world, the entire small world might have been split in half.

But now, the opponent was not aiming for destruction, but "eating."

The other Sages' expressions became even more somber when they saw this.

Feng Boping, Lie Heaven Sage, Mitian Sage, and the others were also thinking about solutions, gathering together from time to time to discuss, but in the current situation, they simply couldn't think of any effective methods.

In the face of absolute disparity in strength, wisdom seemed pale and powerless.

Time flowed by.

Two days passed.

The slaughter in the small world continued.

Half of the small world had already fallen.

In the divine sun, Li Hao was still in deep thought. He had tried many carving methods in between, but all had failed. The fiery flow could gather and scatter, like soft wind.

"Could it be that the limit of carving Dao is only ninth level? How can this world carve wind?"

A blank look appeared in Li Hao's eyes. Exhausting his mind in deep thought ended in failure, bringing a huge sense of挫败 (cuòbài - frustration/setback), even making him have a trace of doubt about his own carving Dao.

At the same time, in the Immortal God Remains, a Sage suddenly appeared, bringing shocking news to the Sages.

Deep within the divine sun, there was an altar-like fiery rock, and on it was a sword!

"That sword is burning with fierce flames all over its body, or rather, it is the flames themselves, and the embodiment of the fire Dao origin. It is extremely terrifying, even more terrifying than the divine sword of the God King. I only took a distant glance, and my eyes were scorched, and there were signs of my own Sage Dao being burned away."

This Sage excitedly told everyone the situation.

"How did you find that place?"

Sage of Names' first reaction was shock and surprise, but he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I couldn't think of any solution, so I wanted to see what was different about this divine sun compared to other stars. So I dove into the deepest part. I have a fire Dao Emperor artifact that can allow me to be unaffected by the power erosion on this divine sun. But when I approached that sword, my Emperor artifact sent me a warning. If I continued to approach, there might be great danger!"

This Sage excitedly said, "That is definitely an extraordinary sword, perhaps even not an Emperor artifact. Even the Origin Ancestor's Seven Tribulation Emperor artifact wouldn't be this terrifying. I suspect it might be an Immortal artifact, a true Immortal artifact!"

Hearing his words, the Sages were all somewhat excited.

If they could obtain this Immortal artifact, it would definitely be a huge gain, adding another point of hope for them to fight against the True Immortal Ancient Demon!

"If we can obtain this sword, with the strength Heavenly Venerable Hao showed earlier, perhaps he can kill that True Immortal Ancient Demon!"

"Let's go, we should all go and take a look, and think of a way to take out this sword!"

"You first tribulation Sages don't need to join in the fun, lest you get hurt. A few of us will go over."

Sage of Yin Yang said, and then summoned Sage of Names, Sage of Laws, Sage of Medicine and others to go.

Mitian Sage received the news and also went to investigate. Old Feng and Lie Heaven Sage, Sword Master, and others knew that Li Hao was about to go to fight the True Immortal Ancient Demon to the death. If he had an Immortal artifact by his side at this moment, it would definitely bring more hope. They also followed the several Supreme Sages to the depths of the divine sun.

"This is really not a place for people to stay."

Deep within the divine sun, the several Supreme Sages followed the Pure Sage to this place.

Besides them, the Fox Sovereign and the eight Island Lords of the Immortal Island also came here. They were all half a step into the Supreme Sage realm and could barely stay here for a moment.

The dense destructive power around them made them feel hot all over. In just a short moment, they were already drenched in sweat, feeling like their bodies were being scorched.

"Is that the sword?"

Feng Boping fixed his eyes and looked. What was before him was a wondrous sight. The intense fire and flames around, as thick as magma, were actually swirling around, clearing out a space with a diameter of a hundred zhang. There, a sword was inserted into a crimson rock that looked like crystal.

The sword body was burning with flames, its edge fiercely blazing. Just taking one glance, he immediately felt a needle-like stinging pain in his eyes, and he hurriedly closed them. But his eyeballs seemed to burn up, the intense pain, accompanied by blood, quickly oozed out from Feng Boping's eye sockets.

The other Sages also suffered. When they saw this sword, their eyeballs were instantly ignited. Not only their naked eyes, but also their own Sage Domains, showed signs of being burned.

"What a terrifying sword!"

The Supreme Sages' conditions were slightly better. Although their eyeballs were not burned into holes, they also felt a stinging and uncomfortable sensation, hot and burning.

They were somewhat shocked. As Supreme Sages, just taking a glance at this sword almost injured them. This was too terrifying!

Based on their experience and intuition, this was definitely not an Emperor artifact. Compared to this sword, the Origin Ancestor's Sky-Suppressing Whip was like fireflies compared to the bright moon.

Moreover, they had a feeling that this sword, even among Immortal artifacts, belonged to the top tier, an extremely terrifying kind.

At this time, they also had the same feeling as the Pure Sage. If they approached this sword, danger would occur.

But, since they had already come, if they were to retreat in such a cowardly manner, ignoring such a treasure, it was absolutely impossible.

Sage of Names and Sage of Laws and the others exchanged glances, and then looked at the Fox Sovereign and the nine Island Lords, and Feng Boping and the others. Sage of Names said, "This sword is extraordinary. Let's try together to see if we can take it out."

"Won't there be something guarding this sword?"

Sage of Yin Yang cautiously looked around, but didn't sense any other aura.

Sage of Laws said, "This sword alone is terrifying enough, there's no need for any guards, right? I wonder which Immortal left this sword, actually hiding it in this divine sun."

While they were talking, the Fox Sovereign and Feng Boping and others all agreed to join forces to take out this sword.

As they jointly attacked, the Sage Domains coordinated and overlapped, and in a blink of an eye, the surrounding heat seemed to lessen. Then, Sage of Names took the lead and approached the divine sword.

As he approached, he immediately felt that the heat that had lessened earlier returned again, and was constantly intensifying and increasing.

When he came to within ten zhang of the divine sword, the scorching light already made Sage of Names feel like his body was being torn apart and roasted. Waves of pain came from his primordial spirit. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain, continuing to approach the divine sword. This time, when he came to within three zhang of the divine sword, waves of tearing destructive power directly crushed his Sage Domain.

"Not good!"

Sage of Laws, who was following behind, saw this, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly burst out with all his strength, reaching out to grab Sage of Names.

At the moment Sage of Names' Sage Domain shattered, his pupils shrank. He only felt a burning wave rushing towards him, and his entire body instantly burst into flames. Not only his physical body, but also his primordial spirit was burning, seemingly about to burn and annihilate him in an instant, dissipating into the heavens and earth.

He hurriedly retreated, but the burning momentum was too fierce. He felt like he was about to die.

At this moment, the Sage Domains aided by Sage of Laws and the others enveloped him, dragging Sage of Names back.

The flames on Sage of Names' body were still burning. He endured the screams and desperately forced back the fire Dao power on his body. Only then did he barely stop the burning, but his physical body was already disfigured, peeling off layers of skin, and self-healing was slow.

"What a terrifying sword. Is this sword's natural power this terrifying?"

The others all stopped in their tracks, not daring to approach easily again.

Sage of Names recovered his breath, with lingering fear in his heart. He never thought that after cultivating for countless years, he would actually almost be killed by a sword, and this sword had no owner, and seemed to be still sleeping, not showing its true power.

"This sword seems to be even more terrifying than we imagined. Even if it's an Immortal artifact, it shouldn't be like this, right? Even that True Immortal Ancient Demon wouldn't make us instantly turn to ashes just by getting close."

Sage of Laws' expression was solemn, staring at the flame-covered hilt of the sword. He had never imagined that there would be such a treasure in the depths of this divine sun. However, even if they had known in advance, it would have been useless.

"Let's go back first, and find Weapon Sage to set up a formation, and gather the power of a hundred Sages to try again."

Moist Sage said in a deep voice.

Sage of Yin Yang nodded slightly, and then everyone did not stay here any longer. Every moment spent was torment and consumption.

Soon, after they returned, they immediately summoned the Sages and told them about the crimson flame immortal sword in the divine sun.

Then, under the leadership of Weapon Sage, the Sages formed a formation, their Sage Domains overlapping, and they dived into the depths of the divine sun.

This time, the core of the military formation chosen was Mitian Sage. Among the Supreme Sages, his strength was considered to be relatively strong. Even the Origin Ancestor would be quite respectful towards him.

Under the blessing of the military formation, Mitian Sage felt an unprecedentedly powerful force, far beyond imagination. He felt that if he encountered the Origin Ancestor again in his current state, even if the opponent held a Seven Tribulation Emperor artifact, he would not be afraid.

As they approached the crimson flame immortal sword, Mitian Sage quickly felt a strong sense of oppression. His expression changed slightly. He displayed his extreme realm, and under full force, he finally reached the side of the crimson flame immortal sword.

Light bloomed in his eyes. He grasped the crimson flame immortal sword. The crimson flames from the hilt instantly attached to his arm. Soon, a power that ignored the Sage Domain eroded over.

His arm was burning, and even the primordial spirit inside his arm was being burned. The intense pain directly acted on his soul. Even a Sage was in so much pain that he was covered in cold sweat.

He gritted his teeth and tried hard to pull out the sword.

But as he exerted force, the sword remained firmly embedded in the red rock, motionless. On the contrary, the hilt itself seemed to suddenly tremble slightly.

Boom!

Just this faint tremor caused Mitian Sage's arm to explode.

"Not good!"

Mitian Sage's expression changed drastically and he hurriedly retreated. The flames around the sword body chased after him like fire dragons.

When the other Sages saw this, they took action to slightly block the power of the fire dragon for a moment, and Mitian Sage also took this opportunity to retreat to a hundred zhang away from the sword.

"Can't pull it out. This sword was sleeping before, it seems to have just been awakened."

Mitian Sage's expression was unsightly. He didn't expect that even with the power of a hundred Sages, and being a Supreme Sage himself, he would not be able to pull out even a sword. This was too terrifying.

"This sword is probably not an Immortal artifact, but some kind of more terrifying weapon."

Feng Boping said with a solemn expression when he saw this scene.

"Let Heavenly Venerable Hao try again later. If such a powerful weapon can be mastered, it will definitely be like adding wings to a tiger." Sage of Yin Yang said in a deep voice.

The Sages exchanged glances and then retreated from here, no longer staying here to waste their power in vain.

After returning to the Holy Land, Feng Boping looked at Li Hao and saw that he was still in closed-eye contemplation. He didn't disturb him. Now all hope was placed on Li Hao.

…

In the divine sun, Li Hao closed his eyes, repeatedly thinking in his heart, how could he carve wind, carve water.

He seemed to have fallen into obsession, thinking about all kinds of carving techniques he had mastered, but without exception, all of them were unable to do it.

How should wind be carved, how should water be carved?

Li Hao's Painting Dao tenth level, could use heaven and earth as a scroll, embellishing the world.

Cooking Dao tenth level, could use heaven and earth as a furnace, stewing all things in the world.

In Li Hao's impression, carving Dao should also be like this.

Carving all things in the world.

Everything can be carved.

But now, just wind and water made him feel helpless. If he couldn't even carve these, let alone carve a shield that could cover the Holy Land and stand firm in this divine sun for more than ten years.

Carving… carving… Li Hao's eyes were dazed, many thoughts flashed through his mind.

He could use Sage blood as ink, dyeing the firmament red, so why couldn't he change the carving knife?

Thinking of this, Li Hao suddenly trembled in his heart, feeling like he had touched something. He hurriedly grasped this ray of light tightly, concentrated his thoughts, and his eyes suddenly became brighter and brighter, until four words suddenly emerged in his mind, like enlightenment, giving him a sense of sudden realization.

Great skill appears artless!

Carving, the core lies in carving, meticulously crafted carving.

But the truly supreme carving, is naturally formed.

Carving a tree is forever inferior to a real tree!

And is a real tree grown by itself? Isn't it also carved by the heaven and earth and time!

The carving knife… can be time, can be space, can be everything!

Li Hao suddenly woke up, and realized that this was the true meaning of carving.

Upon understanding this, the previous difficulties encountered instantly quietly disintegrated.

How to carve wind?

Between breaths, there is wind.

How to carve water?

Between gestures, there is water!

In front of Li Hao, a panel prompt suddenly popped up:

[You have comprehended the carving heart realm: Transcending the Mortal and Entering the Sacred!]

Li Hao's carving Dao, at this moment, broke through the ninth level bottleneck and advanced to the tenth level!

Countless messages surged in, but Li Hao's heart realm was unprecedentedly clear and calm. This enlightenment, besides carving Dao breaking through the ninth level and entering the tenth level, the true meaning of carving Dao also allowed him to have some understanding of Sword Dao. This was not an understanding brought about by adding points, but the fusion of the carving true meaning and Sword Dao itself.

Or rather, this carving Dao itself, if used in battle, is not impossible.

Everything can become a carving knife, and why can't a sword?

Li Hao raised his hand, and a large amount of fiery flow gathered. He did not carve it, he gathered it, which was carving. This kind of carving was without trace, exceeding the general understanding of carving, but it was like the realm Li Hao was in at the moment, great skill appears artless. This was his carving Sage Dao, no traces of carving could be seen!

Fiery flow can resist fiery flow, and what Li Hao had to do was to gather the fiery flow, make it more solidified, forming a wall, a fortress, encompassing the Holy Land and Kyushu Immortal Island.

Whoosh!

Li Hao stepped into the ultimate transformation realm, and the speed of gathering fiery flow became faster and faster. Soon, a wall of fiery flow formed in the void.

Li Hao placed it horizontally outside the Holy Land, blocking the gap in the Immortal God Remains, immediately isolating the chaotic fiery flow outside.

"What is Heavenly Venerable Hao doing?"

In the Holy Land, the Sages and Feng Boping and others saw Li Hao's actions and were all surprised. Soon they were shocked to find that Li Hao was actually blocking the gap in the Immortal God Remains.

The condensed fiery flow wall did not release destructive power inwards, but instead became a thick shield to block the fiery flow.

"Heavenly Venerable Hao seems to have found a solution."

"Using fiery flow to block fiery flow, this method is too clever!"

"Amazing, in this way, as long as this fiery flow doesn't dissipate, it can at least block for a thousand years."

The Sages were all surprised and admired.

They all knew that Li Hao was a monstrous talent, but at this moment they once again directly felt it.

At this time, Li Hao integrated many insights from carving Dao tenth level. The speed at which fiery flow gathered around him became even faster. Soon, walls of fiery flow formed, blocking all the gaps in the Immortal God Remains.

At the same time, Li Hao carved out a huge cover, enveloping the entire Immortal God Remains. In this way, it was equivalent to double protection, at least ensuring it would not dissipate for ten thousand years.

After finishing all this, Li Hao also breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, the calmness previously immersed in carving also became excited.

He didn't expect to have an epiphany this time, allowing his carving Dao heart realm to break through and obtain the heart realm of Transcending the Mortal and Entering the Sacred.

This was his third heart realm of Transcending the Mortal and Entering the Sacred, which meant that he could also raise his Sword Dao to tenth level!

If Sword Dao was tenth level, it would be equivalent to the third Dao Sacrifice, and moreover, after Sword Dao tenth level, his swordsmanship would undergo a qualitative improvement!

Li Hao didn't hesitate, and directly embedded this heart realm of Transcending the Mortal and Entering the Sacred into Sword Dao.

Then, choose to add points!

[Your Sword Dao has been raised to tenth level]

As the panel prompt appeared, a large amount of Sword Dao insights poured in. Li Hao closed his eyes and sat quietly in the divine sun. The surrounding fiery flow was scorching, but he seemed to feel nothing, his mind completely immersed in absorbing this Sword Dao.

On his panel, many sword techniques were rapidly transforming, rising to a deeper level.

Myriad Swords as One Dao, at this moment truly entered the Sacred.

Rumble~~!

Suddenly, muffled thunder rumbled above Li Hao's head.

Li Hao was startled. Would it even attract thunder tribulation on this divine sun?

At this time, the Sages in the Immortal God Remains also faintly heard the thunder, and then saw the fiery flow above Li Hao's head dispersing, revealing winding lightning inside, and also a vast heavenly might.

The Sages were too familiar with such a scene. This was Sagehood thunder tribulation!

"Heavenly Venerable Hao, he has attracted thunder tribulation again?"

"Hasn't he already become a Sage?"

"This, what is going on?"

The Sages were in confusion, unable to believe it.

Sage of Names and several other Supreme Sages, as well as some old third tribulation Sages, however, their expressions changed, and they understood the reason.

"It's Dao Sacrifice! Only Dao Sacrifice can attract Sagehood thunder tribulation multiple times!" Moist Sage said, shock revealed in his eyes.

Dao Sacrifice was the most difficult path to Sagehood. Li Hao had not only walked it once, but now he was actually Dao Sacrificing again?

Hearing Moist Sage's words, the other Sages were all stunned, feeling their scalps tingling.

At this time, however, Li Hao secretly exclaimed not good. He quickly took action, rushing into the thunder tribulation.

"Quickly disappear!"

Li Hao wielded a broken immortal sword, and suddenly slashed out, piercing through the thunder tribulation.

This sword was his Myriad Swords as One Dao, extremely fast, with an aura of annihilation, directly sweeping away this newly condensed thundercloud!

The vast heavenly might in the thundercloud was also scattered and disappeared by this sword strike.

Li Hao was eager to destroy the thundercloud, because he was worried that the commotion here would leave a flaw, and be detected by that True Immortal Ancient Demon.

Watching the newly condensed thundercloud being shattered by Li Hao with one sword, the Sages were all a bit stunned. Such a way of transcending tribulation, once again made them feel like their eyes were opened.

But some of them suddenly reacted, and immediately secretly praised Li Hao's careful consideration, and also understood Li Hao's intention.

As the thundercloud dissipated, this thunder tribulation could be considered passed. Li Hao immediately felt that his Sword Dao was more transparent, and his cultivation seemed to have also improved, but not as obvious as the first Dao Sacrifice.

Li Hao did not linger. He scanned out his divine sense, and quietly drilled out of the divine sun to investigate outside. He found no aura leaked out, and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he came to the Immortal God Remains, landing in the sky above the Holy Mountain.

"Everyone, I'm going to find that Ancient Demon."

Li Hao swept his gaze over Old Feng and the others. Seeing Ren Qianqian, Li Yuanzhao and others also looking at him with urgent expressions, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Heavenly Venerable Hao, don't rush yet, we found a divine sword that seems to be an Immortal artifact, maybe you can pull it out and use it."

Sage of Names hurriedly called out.

Feng Boping also immediately said, "That's right, but that sword is extremely dangerous."

Li Hao was somewhat stunned, and then a bright light appeared in his eyes, and he asked, "Where is it?"

"In the depths of the divine sun."

"Let's go."

Li Hao immediately said, "Lead the way."

Now that True Immortal Ancient Demon was outside slaughtering, eating, and cultivating, Li Hao didn't want to delay for a moment.

Sage of Names and others immediately led Li Hao, and also brought Weapon Sage, and selected over a hundred Sages to accompany Li Hao to the depths of the divine sun.

As soon as they arrived here, Li Hao saw a divine sword inserted into a red earth, emitting a terrifying power.

Li Hao's eyes narrowed, but a look of joy appeared in his heart. This sword indeed did not look like an Emperor artifact.

"Hao'er, be careful."

Feng Boping repeatedly said.

Weapon Sage began to set up a formation. 108 Sages formed a formation, with Li Hao as the formation eye.

Li Hao once again felt this surging power being poured in. The Sages could treat it so cautiously, this sword must be extremely extraordinary.

Li Hao was not careless either, and displayed all his power, walking towards the sword.

As he approached, Li Hao immediately felt waves of terrifying aura, and he vaguely felt that this sword had a vague consciousness, seemingly in slumber.

Soon, Li Hao walked to the front of the sword.

He raised his hand and grasped the hilt. Instantly, he felt an unimaginable scorching sensation stabbing from his palm, and at the same time, the crimson flames around the sword body all enveloped him.

But Li Hao's power was thick and profound, dozens of times that of Sage of Names and other Supreme Sages, relying on this majestic power to block the crimson flames.

Li Hao exerted force to pull, but found that it was like being integrated with the red earth, motionless.

His expression changed slightly. He burst out with all his strength, and instantly felt the sword in his hand slightly shake, and at the same time, a terrifying will directly struck over.

That will ignored Sage Dao, and also ignored the thick power around Li Hao's body, directly slashing into Li Hao's sea of consciousness.

And Li Hao had just Dao Sacrificed, there was Myriad Swords Dao sword intent in his sea of consciousness, as if stimulated, it rushed out to meet it, colliding with this will.

Li Hao's body flew backwards, his palm charred black, and his sea of consciousness oscillated.

In just an instant, Li Hao was seriously injured.

But fortunately, the Dao Sacrificed sword intent that he had just condensed in his sea of consciousness blocked that will.

Li Hao's eyes deepened, and he looked at this sword in shock. He had seen Nangong Sword's sword, that was an Immortal artifact, but it was definitely not as terrifying as the sword in front of him.

This was very likely not an Immortal artifact, but an even more terrifying weapon!

He only shook it a little, and actually triggered such a terrifying will. This was definitely not a weapon that his current strength could control.

"Failed?"

When the Sages saw this scene, they were all stunned. Just seeing Li Hao easily approach the sword, they thought there was hope, but they didn't expect the situation to suddenly change in a blink of an eye.

Li Hao took a deep breath and said, "This sword is not something we can control now. I suspect that even a True Immortal might not be able to control it."

His words were extremely shocking, and the Sages were all astonished, but they did not doubt Li Hao's words.

They had also felt the horror of this sword.

"Then what do we do now?"

"Such a treasure, yet we can only watch, but not use it?"

The Sages looked at each other, and then looked at Li Hao, worry revealed in their eyes.

Not being able to use this treasure was not the key, but Li Hao was going to fight the True Immortal Ancient Demon to the death. The hope they had expected earlier had vanished again.

Li Hao glanced over, seeing through their thoughts, but he was not discouraged in his heart.

"It's okay, even without this sword, I am confident this time."

Li Hao took a deep breath, and led everyone back to the Holy Land. He dissolved the military formation, and said, "Wait for my good news. If something unexpected happens, you can stay here for at least ten thousand years. In such a long time, someone will definitely come to this realm. Otherwise, the situation in the True World may be extremely bad."

Hearing Li Hao's instructions, the Sages were all in a heavy mood.

"You must come back alive, otherwise I will go find you!"

Feng Boping stared at Li Hao and said seriously.

Li Hao knew Old Feng's intention, and smiled, "I will definitely come back!"

"You must live, I believe you can definitely win!"

Lin Qingying walked up to Li Hao. The woman's eyes were already swollen and red, but there were no tears at this moment, they had all been wiped away.

Li Hao nodded lightly, and then looked at Ren Qianqian, Li Yuanzhao, Sword Master and others, feeling the heavy expectations and worries on himself from their eyes.

Li Hao said nothing more. He took a deep breath, bid farewell to everyone, and then turned and left the divine sun.

"Hao'er…"

He Jianlan looked at the young man's leaving back view, in a trance seemed to see the appearance of the young man walking out of the God General Manor back then, feeling a heart-wrenching sensation.

Many people who came to the Holy Land and Kyushu Immortal Island for refuge were silent.

Among them, many Great Yu citizens recognized Li Hao as the only Heavenly General of the Great Yu Divine Dynasty for thousands of years, an existence they often talked about, and also an existence admired by countless children, known as never having been defeated. This battle, against an unprecedented Immortal God, an existence transcending the mortal realm, would he still win?
