This scene unfolded suddenly and abruptly, leaving everyone caught off guard.

When they saw the enormous Dharma Form burning with Divine Might, and the Buddha Master's Personal Disciple being suppressed by the Dharma Form image's fingertips, everyone was horrified.

This is Personal Disciple of the Buddha Master, who is ranked first on the Heaven Dragon Rankings!

He rose to fame at a young age, and after entering the Grandmaster Realm at the age of nineteen, he suppressed the Heaven Dragon Rankings for a full three years!

During this period, his title as the young prodigy and the All Under Heaven was unshakeable!

At this moment, the other person, who would be over 22 years old and out of the list in a few months, was actually suppressed on the stage with a single finger, like a dead dog, unable to move!

Please show mercy!

In this deathly silence, it seemed that only the yellow sand waves of the Dragon River remained unaffected, continuing to surge and wash over the Martial Dao Platform.

Heaven's Mystery Mountain Man was the first to react, and hurriedly took action to withstand part of the force of the Chess Piece. At the moment of contact, he felt that this ordinary stone contained unimaginable and terrifying power. The burning Divine Flame, like the raging fire of the winter sun, seemed capable of burning everything!

He was horrified and hurriedly said to Li Hao:

"Grandmaster discuss the Dao, they should stop short of causing harm!"

As a cultivator at the Three Immortalities Realm, he naturally couldn't just stand by and watch this Personal Disciple the Buddha Master be crushed into mincemeat by that young man's finger in front of everyone.

Otherwise, the Buddha Master who sits enthroned in the Brahma Pure Land will surely be furious, and his wrath will be far beyond what the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion can withstand!

Despite being blocked by the Heaven's Mystery Mountain Man, the other four people traveling with Qin Wuque also reacted. One of them, a middle-aged Arhat wearing a crimson-gold Kasaya, suddenly stepped forward and rushed to Qin Wuque, angrily shouting at Li Hao:

"It was just a discussion of principles, did you really intend to kill me?!"

Li Hao sneered and said calmly, "I was merely discussing the Dao, why are you so agitated?"

It was almost a direct rebuttal of his words.

Although he did have murderous intent, he wouldn't kill a Buddha Child in public, otherwise the Buddha Master would have a legitimate reason to come and cause him trouble.

Moreover, this Buddha Child likely possesses a noble title for protection. Unless the other party personally agrees to an unrestricted Sparring, killing him in public under the rules of this Daoist Dao Arena would be considered a violation of the laws and regulations of the Great Yu Dynasty.

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, the middle-aged Arhat glared angrily, his eyes wide with fury, like a wrathful Vajra.

Discussing the Dao? Is this how you discuss the Dao by humiliating someone like that?

But ironically, this really falls into the realm of Grandmaster discussing the Dao. It's just that Qin Wuque's skills are inferior, or rather, the young man in front of him is too terrifying!

The majestic Heaven and Earth Dharma Form even made the middle-aged Arhat feel a little apprehensive. He had never seen such a huge Divine Soul before. If it was just about making the Divine Soul surge to this size, he could do it too, but in terms of power, it would be less effective than shrinking it down!

"Discussions should stop when they've reached a point; you've gone too far!"

The middle-aged Arhat was seething with anger, but his expression was solemn and extremely restrained, like a dignified elder trying to persuade Li Hao.

Li Hao said calmly, "You said it yourself, it was a 'point' and that's it. I concentrated my strength on one 'point' with the Chess Piece, but unfortunately he couldn't catch it. Is this your Buddha Child? He's not much different from the one I defeated with chopsticks before."

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, the middle-aged Vajra and the other three Venerables of Boundless Mountain were so angry they felt like their lungs were about to explode.

Years of self-cultivation had left them feeling so angry that their heads were throbbing and their bodies were trembling.

The one Li Hao mentioned was none other than Li Qianfeng, the youngest Personal Disciple of the Buddha Master.

He was also Qin Wuque's Junior Little Brother, and the two had a good relationship.

Qin Wuque provoked Li Hao in order to seek justice for Li Qianfeng and to save face for Boundless Mountain. After all, Li Qianfeng's defeat in the True Dragon Battle was too humiliating and caused great damage to Boundless Mountain's reputation.

Unexpectedly, Qin Wuque personally took action and suffered an even more humiliating defeat than Li Qianfeng had!

Moreover, this was happening in full view of everyone, witnessed by Grandmaster in the All Under Heaven. They could hardly imagine how much ridicule and mockery Boundless Mountain would suffer from this one battle alone.

"So young, yet so arrogant! Is this what people from the Divine General Residence are like? No wonder your father had to personally suppress and deal with you!"

The middle-aged Arhat angrily retorted, "Stop right now! Your aggressive behavior is hardly befitting of Grandmaster!"

A cold glint flashed in Li Hao's eyes, but it disappeared immediately. His tone was as icy as a cold wind:

Are you saying this to beg for mercy on his behalf?

"Begging for mercy? In any debate, there are winners and losers. Don't be so unreasonable!" the middle-aged Arhat said, suppressing his anger.

At this moment, Qin Wuque was still lying on the ground, struggling helplessly. The longer the delay, the more face Boundless Mountain would lose.

Li Hao sneered, "Since you're in the right, why should you show mercy? You know you're in the wrong, so just apologize obediently. If you want to beg for forgiveness and admit defeat, let him say it to me himself!"

"You!"

The middle-aged Arhat's eyes blazed with fury, yet his expression remained solemn and dignified.

If it weren't for concerns about Li Hao's identity and the fear that taking action would break the rules and further embarrass Boundless Mountain, he would have personally suppressed Li Hao.

"Alright! Since we're discussing the Dao, let's have a discussion!"

At this moment, a Venerable from Boundless Mountain spoke up.

Besides the middle-aged Arhat, the three Boundless Venerables also came with Qin Wuque to participate in this Grandmaster Assembly.

In Boundless Mountain, Vajra is the Fifteen Li Realm, Venerable One is the Heaven and Man Grandmaster, Arhat is the Three Immortalities Realm.

Above that are the Bodhisattva before the Buddha Master.

"Let me discuss your arrogant ways!"

One of the middle-aged monks had already made a fierce move. His eyes were glaring, and his whole body was bathed in Buddha Light. Strings of Buddhist Prayer Beads floated up and surrounded his body.

This Buddhist Prayer Beads contains powerful spiritual energy, which can enhance his own power by half. He sacrificed his own divine Divine Soul, along with himself, and unleashed his Grandmaster's ultimate Signature Technique, smashing a fist towards the Chess Piece above Qin Wuque's head!

The Chess Piece was like a condensed sun, radiating an intense, dazzling light that was impossible to look directly at.

The middle-aged venerable one's fist embodies the Way of Stillness, emphasizing using stillness to control movement. At this moment, he strikes with anger, and although his movements seem extremely slow, their power should not be underestimated!

With a loud bang, the earth-shattering punch, which produced Sonic Boom, slammed heavily onto the Chess Piece.

Just when everyone thought he was about to shatter the dazzling light at his fingertips, suddenly, as if struck by a heavy blow, the sleeve of his arm burst open, his Kasaya fluttered, and his body flew backward!

His fist was covered in blood, the flesh torn open, revealing the stark white bone!

Everyone's pupils contracted, and they were all horrified.

The middle-aged Venerable One stumbled backward, only stopping when the middle-aged Arhat caught his back. A surge of blood rushed to his face, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood. His pale face stared in horror at the piece that embodied the brilliance of Heaven and Earth.

He just felt an extremely strong recoil force coming from this small Chess Piece, like a punch hitting an iron plate, and all the power he had released was returned to him!

He was caught off guard and suffered such a serious injury. Although his physical strength was stronger than that of an ordinary Heaven and Man Realm cultivator, thanks to the Buddhist Sect Golden Core Precious Medicine that enhanced his physique, it was still different from that of a true Body Refining.

At this moment, his internal organs were shaken, and his blood was rushing wildly, causing blood to seep from his eyes and nose.

"Impossible! What kind of Dao is this?!"

He said in an incredulous, trembling voice.

The middle-aged Arhat's face turned ugly upon hearing his words.

The other two Venerables were also taken aback, not expecting that the young man, while suppressing Qin Wuque with a single move, still had the strength to block them.

Without saying a word, the two attacked in quick succession.

They were all at the Precious Appearance Realm, their Divine Soul seemingly coated with a layer of gold sand, burning with Divine Might power, their appearance solemn and dignified, radiating immense pressure.

Out of consideration for the reputation of Boundless Mountain, the two did not attack Li Hao at the same time, but rather one after the other.

One person tried to flip the piece over, while the other planned to take the opportunity to pull Qin Wuque out.

Li Hao saw through their intentions. Li Hao sneered slightly. The more Boundless Mountain acted this way, the more he wanted to make them lose face!

The power to manipulate Object Manipulation transformed into an invisible high wall, and at the same time, Li Hao integrated the various Daos of All Things that he had comprehended into this power.

Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the rotation of the sun, moon, and stars, mountains, rivers, birds, and beasts, etc.

It can deflect force, reduce damage, redirect attacks, divert power to another location, and even conceal deadly moves within attacks, springing up like mushrooms after rain, catching you off guard!

With the fusion of various artistic concepts and martial ideas, his attacks are unpredictable and far more complex than simple Yin-Yang Dao or the Ape Dao; they encompass far too many variations!

Even ordinary Three Immortalities Realm would be killed by his sword with a single strike, unable to withstand the All Things nature of his attacks, let alone those at the Grandmaster Realm.

Bang!

The Venerable One, who was wielding the Vajra Demon-Suppressing Pestle to strike the Chess Piece, felt a surge of power impacting him and hurriedly used the Buddhist Sect Signature Technique, the Nine Heavens Demon Suppression Art Technique!

The Demon-Suppressing Pestle, with the force of a thousand mountains suppressing it, was about to shatter that small, ordinary pebble!

But as soon as he launched his attack, he felt as if his Demon-Suppressing Pestle had sunk into an unseen swamp, its immense power seemingly swallowed and absorbed by the ocean!

Before he could react, an even more violent force rebounded back.

Caught off guard, his hand gripping the Demon-Suppressing Pestle trembled, his tiger's mouth split open, and then an invisible force slammed into his chest, sweeping him and the Demon-Suppressing Pestle away, sending him crashing outside the Martial Dao Platform!

Meanwhile, the venerable old man with a serene face tried to drag Qin Wuque out while his companion was distracted by Li Hao, but when he made his move, he saw his companion fly backward.

His expression changed abruptly, and then he heard another gust of wind rushing in.

But it was Li Hao's other hand, the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form, that struck down, flicking its fingers to launch the attack!

The middle finger that shot out swept across like a giant mountain peak, carrying an aura that seemed to sever the Heaven and Earth, as it hurtled towards us.

The old man was horrified, a look of fear appearing in his eyes. He quickly threw out a golden disc, which grew larger and larger as it spun, blocking the attack. A phantom beast head popped out from the disc, trying to roar at the point of attack, but it was hit by the Dharma Form as soon as it appeared.

The beast's head shattered, and the disc, buzzing like a gong, flew out and slammed into the old man's chest, sending him flying and crashing into the Dragon River.

The waves of the Dragon River instantly engulfed him, but not long after, he emerged from the waves, staggering back onto the Martial Dao Platform, his body completely soaked and his face deathly pale.

In a short time, two Venerables were defeated in succession, shocking everyone. Li Hao suppressed Qin Wuque with a single finger, yet he was also able to defeat three Venerables from Boundless Mountain with ease. Just what kind of monster is this young man?!

Previously, Heavenly Secrets Pavilion ranked him fifth on the Heaven Dragon Rankings, and many people thought it was inflated. But now it seems that the list itself is obviously flawed!

Such terrifying strength, ranked only fifth? That's a joke!

They couldn't imagine where Li Hao should be ranked, having been suppressed by Li Hao's single finger.

"You!"

The middle-aged Arhat stared at Li Hao in shock and anger, never expecting that this Qilin Child of the Li Family would be so terrifying.

When he first heard that Li Qianfeng had almost been killed by the other party with a single chopstick, he thought it was just an exaggerated rumor. Now it seems that this guy is probably even more terrifying than they imagined!

At only fourteen years old, could this boy already be invincible at the Grandmaster Realm?!

The middle-aged Arhat clenched his teeth, his face turning ashen. He looked at the sneering young man below the stage and saw coldness and mockery in the other's eyes. He knew that unless he took action, this young man would make Boundless Mountain lose face!

But if he intervenes, even if he wins, it won't be honorable!

Taking a deep breath, the middle-aged Arhat looked down at the audience and shouted, "Grandmaster, in this debate, which of you Grandmaster would be willing to engage in a discussion with this Qilin Child from the Li Family? If you can win, Boundless Mountain will reward you with a great treasure!"

Despite his extreme anger, he still spoke with composure, using the pretext of discussing philosophy.

But everyone could tell that he was pleading for help, hoping someone could help defeat Li Hao and save face for Boundless Mountain.

The so-called treasure is probably a huge favor done by Boundless Mountain.

Suddenly, many people's eyes lit up slightly.

That's Boundless Mountain!

Without the presence of True Person from the Qian Dao Palace, even the Buddha Master suppresses the All Under Heaven, and no one dares to confront his might!

If one can gain favor with the people of Boundless Mountain, as long as the prince is not killed in public, it will be an absolute Life-Saving Talisman!

"Haha, since this is a discussion of principles, I'll join in the fun. Youthful vigor is high, after all; let me see what you've got!"

Soon, Grandmaster in the audience was moved and leaped onto the Martial Dao Platform, laughing loudly as he spoke.

He then suddenly drew his sword, using his own unique Signature Technique to cover the blade with Divine Might, revealing its majestic appearance and the aura of cutting through mountains and rivers. He then slashed directly at Li Hao's finger.

The blade contains destructive power and the ability to decay, seemingly capable of withering All Things!

This is also an extremely powerful Grandmaster- Dao Realm.

But where there is decay, there is also rebirth.

Just as plants grow and All Things bloom.

The decaying power did not affect Li Hao. On the contrary, with the Yin Yang Reversal, an even more magnificent artistic conception emerged, instantly pressing down on the sword-wielding Grandmaster and shaking his body off the Martial Dao Platform.

Defeat!

"I'll give it a try!"

Immediately, Grandmaster stepped onto the stage. Without direct contact, it was difficult to grasp the Mystery of Li Hao's finger strike. However, the second Grandmaster to step onto the stage was also sent flying by Li Hao's manipulation of Object Manipulation, which contained the essence of Grandmaster.

One after another!

Grandmaster kept coming up to the stage, and some had already realized that the young man's power was beyond imagination; he would probably have no rivals among those of the same realm.

But then I thought, after all that effort from so many people before me, even Grandmaster Realm would eventually run out of strength!

If we could manage to snag a bargain and gain favor with the Boundless Mountain people, then even offending this young master wouldn't be a problem.

As one Grandmaster after another stepped onto the stage, they were suddenly sent flying backward.

It's Lin Qingfeng!

"Is the Grandmaster from thirty years ago also going to take the stage?"

Everyone looked at one person, a slender old man, but when he stood up, his shoulders seemed to hold up the Heaven and Earth, carrying the aura of Grandmaster had descended from the snow-capped Snow Mountain of outer space, transcending all others.

Many people became tense, wondering if the boy could stop them.

Soon, the old man stepped onto the stage. He carried no weapon, but instead lightly reached out with both hands to grab the dazzling light at his fingertips, as if casually picking a fruit.

However, many Grandmaster changed their expressions when they saw him make a move.

That natural and effortless grace, that Perfection and flawless feeling – that is the Grandmaster's Perfection state!

Perhaps with just the slightest opportunity, the other person can transcend and step into a higher realm!

That's a state of being able to transcend the mundane world at any time!

The way those hands plucked the birds seemed casual, but in reality, it was full of variations. If a bird fell down, it would not escape their grasp, like Bird in a Cage!

His palm is a Heaven and Earth unto itself, capable of suppressing everything!

However, as his palm approached the gleaming Chess Piece, suddenly, his palm burned, the skin of his palm seemed to rot, and countless sharp blades cut across it, causing blood to gush out.

The casual look on Lin Qingfeng's face disappeared, and his eyes became serious, but his hand did not back down and continued to reach forward.

But as he got closer, he saw more and more scars on his arms, and the blinding light ahead seemed like Myriad Daos sharp blades!

His fingernails fell off, the nail plates flipped up, and the sleeves on his arms were all torn and ripped!

Finally, just as his palm was about to touch the Chess Piece, a violent force erupted, like a tiger's roar, reverberating in his eardrums.

Lin Qingfeng's pupils suddenly contracted, his mind trembled, and his aged body flew out like a tattered sack, as if he had been kicked hard.

Thump!

Lin Qingfeng's body fell outside the Martial Dao Platform, his arm was covered in blood, his skin torn and bleeding, a truly gruesome sight!

His aged figure rose to his feet. His once elegant Robe and flowing hair were now disheveled and tattered, making him look extremely disheveled.

Lin Qingfeng raised his head, a little blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, but it was hidden by his loose hair. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak. His gaze slowly shifted from the Martial Dao Platform to the young man in another seat.

He suddenly realized that the young man, from beginning to end, had not made a move in his True Form!

A terrifying thought surfaced in his mind.

Could it be that this young man, at only fourteen years old, has already reached the Perfection of the Grandmaster Realm, with one foot already in the Three Immortalities?!

Thinking of these thoughts, he felt his heart clench and contract violently, almost unbearably.

Which one who can step into the Heaven and Human Grandmaster Realm isn't a genius? Which one hasn't achieved fame at a young age, or ascended to the Universe Rankings!

But now, as Wind Moon passes and they grow older, they are considered to be of the older generation. However, given their long lifespan as Heaven and Man Realm, their mindset remains youthful, and they continue to pursue higher Martial Dao.

Therefore, they also have a spirit of debate!

However, his desire to compete was shattered by that one move!

When Lin Qingfeng was defeated, everyone fell silent for a moment. After all, this was Grandmaster who had been famous for many years!

But soon, everyone's attention turned away from him, and soon, someone else went on stage.

With a powerful figure like Lin Qingfeng clashing with them, even if they are defeated, the drain on their strength compared to others in the same realm would be enormous. This might very well be an opportunity!

But the next moment, the Grandmaster who went up on stage again was also knocked away, spitting out blood.

Below the stage, Li Wushuang stared blankly at this scene.

From the moment Qin Wuque provoked Li Hao, her Anger was replaced by Anger as Li Hao suppressed Qin Wuque with a single finger.

The peculiar Divine Soul that had manifested during the great battle with Li Tiangang had once shocked the entire Divine General Residence, and now it had been seen again.

Compared to that time, this time it was even more terrifying. Before, it was not covered by the Divine Might fire, but now it was burning with divine Divine Radiance, like an Anger god Descent to earth!

The power it displayed far exceeded her imagination and understanding.

He was able to defeat many renowned Grandmaster present all by himself!

While she was still pursuing the Fifteen Li Realm and still had a distant hope for the Heaven and Man Realm, that young man already possessed the aura and power to look down upon all the Grandmaster in the All Under Heaven!

Is this the difference between them?

On the other side, Zhou Haitang stood up, concealing the shock in his eyes, and walked towards the stage.

Zhou Ling'er and the others nearby reacted.

"Father!"

Zhou Ling'er hurriedly called out, "Father, are you going too? No, you..."

She meant to say, "You can't beat him."

But as she was about to say those words, she suddenly felt a bitter, sour taste in her mouth.

In her mind, her father was a pillar of strength, the most solid and powerful support.

But now, she has to admit that her father is no match for the boy she had previously looked down upon.

"Master!"

Xu Wan'er and the young man also hurriedly tried to persuade him.

Zhou Haitang shook his head, took a deep breath, and said, "I want to try, and also use this opportunity to verify how far I am from Perfection my path to becoming Grandmaster!"

He was going to take on the challenge, not only because of the Xu Nuo of Boundless Mountain, but also because of the debate that embodies the Grandmaster's Heart!

Seeing such an extraordinary young man, seeing the astonishing power of that single finger, and the profound Dao Realm it contained, he wanted to personally experience it!

Ignoring her daughter's and apprentice's objections, Zhou Haitang went on stage.

He mobilized all his strength, his pores opened wide, and he pushed his strength to its limit, achieving a state of perfect Unity with the Heavenly Circuit.

Then, he drew his sword and unleashed his strongest Signature Technique, slashing out fiercely.

With a loud bang!

The moment the Sword Light touched the Chess Piece, a vast and boundless Martial Dao intent enveloped her. In an instant, Zhou Haitang seemed to feel the surging of Heaven and Earth and All Things, pressing down on her body.

His pupils widened and then contracted; he was so horrified that he couldn't speak.

So, the young man's Martial Dao realm wasn't of one kind...?

His body was suddenly sent flying backward, crashing off the field, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his clothes torn inch by inch, leaving him in a sorry state.

"Father!"

Zhou Ling'er rushed forward, her eyes welling up with tears.

Zhou Haitang struggled to her feet, coughing up a mouthful of blood. She quickly pulled out a bottle of Precious Medicine and swallowed it, which stabilized her injuries. She whispered, "I'm fine."

He turned his head and looked at the boy sitting upright in another spot.

The young man sat quietly in an ordinary chair, yet he possessed a detached and serene air, as if he were sitting atop a mountain peak, overlooking everything in the world.
