Chapter 301: Suppressing All
Li Haoming had a sudden epiphany as he comprehended a fragment of the Heavenly Venerable's will. In that instant, he felt a sense of enlightenment and clarity.
Although he had not yet truly reached the pinnacle of the Heavenly Human Grand Master realm, his understanding of power had undergone a qualitative change.
Before, he was borrowing power; now, he was in control of it!
Boom!
Numerous phenomena of the Daoist methods came crashing down, with thunder and fire filling the sky and howling gales of wind threatening to tear Li Hao's body apart.
But suddenly, Li Hao's wounds began to heal at an astonishing rate, and at the same time, a cold, electric glint flashed in his eyes as he suddenly raised his fist.
At this moment, he clenched not just his fingers but the very fabric of the world! As his fist punched out, the myriad phenomena in the sky vanished in an instant, and with a single punch, the sky cleared!
The demonic and ghostly clouds shrouding the Imperial Palace were swept away by his punch, as if he had punched a hole in the sky! The five people's Daoist methods were all shaken apart by the sheer brute force, their rules shattered by the might of his punch!
At this moment, Li Hao truly demonstrated what it meant to break ten thousand laws with a single force!
As this punch was thrown, the world seemed to fall silent.
The five people who had just attacked Li Hao relentlessly, intending to leave him no room to breathe, were all stunned. The sudden dissipation of their Daoist methods left them bewildered as they stared at the young man from the mortal realm.
At the same time, the young man also raised his head, his eyes cold and emotionless, as indifferent as the heavens themselves.
There was no hatred, no anger, and no sharpness, only indifference, as if he were gazing upon insignificant ants.
"Wh-what...?"
"How is it possible that the rules have been broken and scattered?"
The stunningly beautiful woman and the others were dumbfounded, their eyes wide with shock and disbelief.
The young man in yellow and white was known for his keen mind, and even he was left dazed, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Was this the power of the Grand Peace realm?!
Even in the land of the sages, he had never encountered such a monstrous talent!
As they stood there in a daze, Li Hao's body suddenly disappeared in a flash of Void Shift once again.
His figure seemed to cross the turbulent flow of space, stepping into the Dao domain of the five people. In an instant, the oppressive suppression of the five layers of Dao domain rules enveloped him—destructive divine thunder tore at his body, the wind-splitting rule threatened to crush him, and the extreme cold rule sought to freeze him solid. Combined with the binding rule of the stunningly beautiful woman, the restrictions on intruders were beyond imagination!
The Dao domain of the five working together could be considered a forbidden zone. Even someone like Qin Zhenren would not be able to last more than a few breaths before perishing.
But at this moment, as the thunder, hurricane-force winds, and icy frost approached Li Hao, they were all blocked by an unseen force.
Li Hao's target for his Void Shift remained the stunningly beautiful woman.
Seeing Li Hao appear right before her, his body seemingly protected by a Daoist force field that prevented the rules from harming him, the stunningly beautiful woman's ravishing face showed a hint of dumbfoundedness.
This scene clearly defied common sense and exceeded her knowledge and imagination, causing her to be slightly dazed.
But as Li Hao raised his arm, she suddenly snapped back to her senses, and for the first time on this mortal battlefield, she felt the shadow of death!
"No, save me!"
Facing someone in the Grand Peace realm, she, as a being in the Daoist realm, screamed for help, uncaring of her image.
The other four were also shocked. It was not strange for Li Hao to enter their Dao domain with his Void Shift, but for him to withstand their Dao domain suppression after entering was simply impossible!
All of this happened in a short span of moments. As soon as Li Hao entered the Dao domain, he raised his sword and swung it down.
This sword directly manipulated the power of the world, instantly gathering and concentrating it into the blade. As it swept across, the Daoist power of the stunningly beautiful woman was revealed as she attempted to defend herself, but she was forced back by the vast power on the sword's edge, like a strong wind blowing water into scattered droplets.
The sword light did not pause for a moment, instantly slicing off her head. Then, with another swing of the sword, her physical body was stirred into nothingness!
"No, it's impossible!"
The stunningly beautiful woman's primordial spirit fled from her body in a panic. As a proud daughter of heaven and a being in the Daoist realm, she had cultivated for many years and had long since refined her primordial spirit, reaching the pinnacle of the Spirit Travel realm.
But at this moment, her primordial spirit was filled with panic and disbelief, and she hurriedly turned to flee into the distance.
However, how could her speed compare to Li Hao's Void Shift? With another step, Li Hao appeared before her primordial spirit, his own primordial spirit appearing above his head.
Seeing that Li Hao had also released his primordial spirit, the stunningly beautiful woman became even more flustered and pleaded, "Don't kill me! I'll transmit my divine abilities to you. Whatever you want, I..."
Boom!
The primordial spirit, infused with the power of the world, threw a punch, and the violent force of the blow caused her primordial spirit to disintegrate, like sand blown away by the wind, emitting a shrill, miserable scream before finally vanishing.
"You... You're asking for death!"
The young man in yellow and white and the other three finally reacted, feeling both angry and afraid. Despite their extensive knowledge and experience, they found Li Hao's methods difficult to comprehend.
The young man in yellow and white recognized Li Hao's instantaneous movement as Void Shift, but he had never witnessed the power of the Immortal Escape and Three Undying realms. However, at this moment, he could roughly guess that Li Hao, in the Great Perfection realm, was able to unleash such terrifying killing intent.
This mortal youth most likely possessed the two most mysterious realms!
Especially the Heavenly Human Grand Master realm, which was extremely mysterious and the most difficult to cultivate. It required not only comprehension but also a unique and transcendent mentality. Even in his sect and family, there were no related records, and it could not be achieved merely through the accumulation of time and resources.
"Divine Ability, Imprison Will!"
The youth with the half-mask suddenly unleashed his divine ability, and with Li Hao having killed two of them, they all realized the severity of the situation and went all out.
The Daoist methods condensed and gathered the rules, and with their profound coordination, they transformed into a divine ability!
This divine ability could imprison the target's consciousness and soul, even trapping primordial spirits and preventing them from connecting with their physical bodies, causing them to fall into a dazed state.
With this ability, one could destroy an opponent's physical body and then battle their divine soul. It was an extremely formidable divine ability and his specialty.
At this moment, as the rules of the divine ability were unleashed, a terrifying power spread out, attempting to envelop and entrap Li Hao's consciousness!
But the next moment, this power suddenly found that Li Hao's consciousness was incredibly vast, as if it were boundless and endless, not confined within his physical body but existing within this very world!
The entrapping power spread, but it was utterly ineffective in covering and restraining him.
Before the divine ability could further extend its influence, this power was suddenly shattered by a surge of anger!
The will of the Heavenly Venerable cannot be restrained!
Even though Li Hao had only comprehended a fragment of the Heavenly Venerable's will at this moment, it was beyond the influence of divine abilities, possessing unimaginable might.
Boom!
Li Hao took a step forward, paying no heed to the youth with the half-mask who had just attacked him. Since his divine ability had no effect on Li Hao, he could be left unattended. Instead, Li Hao chose to kill the other youth first.
This youth with long braided hair and a purple-blue robe was about to unleash his own divine ability, but he suddenly saw Li Hao appearing right before him.
His pupils constricted, and he hastily retreated, using his dao domain to instantly shift his position within his own domain.
However, his dao rhythm was clearly sensed by Li Hao. With the ultimate transformation of the immortal, even the instant shift of the ruins would leave traces, let alone the dao rhythm.
Boom!
The sword light instantly slashed out, and the sword energy, refined to its extreme, seemed to carry the weight of ten thousand mountains.
The youth was horrified as his entire body lit up with three rays of light. A dragon-like roar resounded, along with countless whispering chants, emitting a dark reddish glow like fireworks—it was unmistakably the incense fire treasure.
But at this moment, under Li Hao's sword edge, this incense fire treasure also emitted a mournful cry. The incense fire was extinguished, and the three treasures' protection was shattered by a single sword strike, forcing back the dao power on his body and directly cutting him down!
With a loud bang, the explosion of this sword was like a blunt blow to the head, directly causing the youth's body to burst apart.
His primordial spirit tried to escape, but before it could flee, it was shredded by Li Hao's pursuing sword strike.
In a short span of moments, two Dao Fa realm experts were consecutively slain, their formidable might shocking the remaining three, causing their complexions to turn pale.
The youth with the half-mask was even more stunned. The backlash of his divine ability being broken had transmitted that surge of anger through the ability, reverberating within his mind. At this moment, his mind was still buzzing, filled with that supreme and inviolable will, emanating anger and instilling a sense of trembling and fear within him.
"Quick, lend me the power of your dao domains! I need to unleash that divine ability!"
The youth in yellow and white suddenly shouted.
The other two quickly reacted, their hearts trembling as they understood what he was referring to.
Lending the power of their dao domains was akin to handing over their weapons to someone else; it could only be done with those they were extremely close to and trusted.
However, at this moment, they were all in the same boat, and they obviously had no choice. They swiftly lent their dao domain powers to him.
"Divine Ability, Heaven's Imprisonment and Earth's Extinction!!!"
With the power of the other two, the youth in yellow and white quickly mobilized his full strength, roaring as he unleashed this top-notch divine ability, the strongest one he had mastered!
It was already challenging for him to unleash this divine ability with just his own power. This clearly demonstrated how terrifying this ability was.
But at this moment, combining the power of the three of them, the divine ability extended, just as its name implied, capable of imprisoning heaven and earth and trapping people, even rendering the instant shift of the ruins ineffective.
As the trio's divine ability erupted, Li Hao also mobilized the power of the entire world, throwing a fierce punch at the three of them.
Boom!
The roaring fist seemed like a falling star, about to pierce through the entire earth!
As soon as the fist formed, the ground caved in and cracked, affected by this formidable power.
In mid-air, the trio's pupils constricted as their hearts filled with shock. What kind of power was this?!
The divine ability had just begun to take shape when Li Hao's fist slammed down. In an instant, the three of them felt as if their bodies had been struck by a mountain, shaking them violently and causing them to spit out mouthfuls of blood.
"Impossible! How can your mortal body withstand such power?!"
The youth in yellow and white stared at Li Hao in shock and anger.
Li Hao didn't answer. Instead, he swung his sword and instantly shifted, killing one of the females in the group. With a single sword strike, he tore her apart.
Li Hao didn't linger and immediately killed her primordial spirit with a sword flower before turning to face the youth with the half-mask who had just tried to entrap his consciousness.
Seeing Li Hao's figure appearing before him, the youth's eyes revealed despair.
At this moment, he finally understood why that damned Holy Son of Xuanyuan had not made a move himself. Instead, he had invited them over, willingly offering the incense fire of this dynasty, which had been accumulating for thousands of years, rather than keeping it for himself. He had claimed that he was concerned about the Demon Race's interference, but where was there any trace of the Demon Race?
The greatest demon was right before their eyes—this youth!
"I hate you so much!!!"
He let out a cry of resentment, but it was soon silenced as Li Hao's swords cut him down.
With his grasp of a fragment of the Heavenly Venerable's will, Li Hao turned to look at the youth in yellow and white.
At this moment, the youth in yellow and white felt as if he had been doused with cold water, a chill running from the top of his head to his toes.
The six of them had come together, invited to the mortal world to secretly open a gateway to the immortal path. They had arrived at this continent's edge, where a dynasty was secretly developing, accumulating incense fire power.
Due to its geographical location and seclusion, even if the dynasty were destroyed, it was unlikely to attract attention or cause much of a stir in the short term. After all, the rules set by the Saints' Land prohibited them from interfering and slaughtering mortals at will.
But rules were only meant for the obedient.
For the incense fire power that had been accumulating for thousands of years, as well as the significant population of this dynasty, they thought it was worth the risk.
However, the result was that out of the six of them, five had perished in the blink of an eye.
Only he remained.
