Severing Heaven and Earth
Li Hao, sword in hand, chased after them outside Heaven's Gate Pass. The three Demon Kings had already fled a hundred miles away and disappeared into the distance.
Li Hao rushed to Song Qiumo's side and saw that her azure dress was covered in blood, and there were several deep claw marks on her shoulder blades. Aura weak and pale, but she was trying to stop the bleeding and stabilize her injuries. She seemed to be out of danger.
What's wrong with you?
Seeing Li Hao approaching like Gods and Devils or demon, Song Qiumo was startled. She barely managed to steady her Aura and quickly said:
"Is it some kind of Secret Method?"
Although she asked this question, she had never seen any Secret Method that could cause such a change.
Moreover, the Aura emanating from Li Hao at this moment was so oppressive that even she felt a sense of pressure, as if the entire sky above her head would be suppressed with every move Li Hao.
Seeing that Song Qiumo was unharmed, Li Hao's Anger and killing intent were slightly restrained. Song Qiumo's words also reminded him, and he hurriedly withdrew his power and controlled that Immortal Qi energy so that it no longer borrowed the Heaven and Earth Power.
But it's easier said than done. His body was already breaking down and damaging. Now, he was trying his best to block out the Heaven and Earth Power, but his pores seemed to have burst. His body was like an open floodgate that could not be closed!
Li Hao squatted down, gritting his teeth tightly. His eyes were bloodshot and red. He knew that if he couldn't control himself, he would be completely decomposed and annihilated, turning into a gust of wind in this Heaven and Earth!
He didn't want to die!
But the pain of collapse and tearing came from all parts of my body.
That boundless Heaven and Earth Power seemed to want to crush his bones, crush his body, grind his internal organs and flesh, and finally merge with heaven and Heaven and Earth!
"Aaaaaah!!"
Li Hao roared like a wild beast, his vocal cords torn, his mournful and painful voice like weeping blood.
Song Qiumo sensed that Li Hao's condition was extremely abnormal and dangerous. A look of anxiety crossed her pale, weak face as she hurriedly asked, "How can I help you?"
But Li Hao was speechless at that moment.
Seeing this, Song Qiumo could only try to manipulate her power, transforming it into a soft curtain of water to surround Li Hao, attempting to heal and slow down the trend of Li Hao's body collapsing and breaking down.
However, when this soft, deep water, which possessed healing power, touched Li Hao's body, Li Hao's body cracked even faster.
He was in a state of extreme fullness at the moment; the more power he absorbed, the faster his body would perish.
At this moment, Feng Boping dragged himself over. Upon seeing this scene, he was stunned for a moment, but then he realized something:
"Quickly, shut down this Heaven and Earth!"
Song Qiumo reacted quickly. When she saw that her power was useless and only aggravated Li Hao's pain, she quickly withdrew it.
As she tried to retract her power, she was horrified to discover that a portion of her strength had been brutally and forcefully absorbed by Li Hao.
At this moment, amidst Feng Boping's shout, she quickly composed herself, took a deep breath, and converted the power she had used to heal herself into a Barrier cage that she and Feng Boping used to imprison Li Hao within.
To their horror, while their Barrier cage did slow down the rate at which Li Hao's body crumbled, their Barrier itself trembled and swayed, slowly disintegrating!
Even the power of their Barrier is being absorbed by Li Hao!
This result shocked the two of them; this was their own power, and it had been plundered?!
Even Demon aren't this terrifying, unless they are Great Demon beyond the Four Establishments Realm, who treat them like ghosts treat mortals, draining them dry.
And Li Hao's actions at this moment seem to reflect this very idea.
While the two were in shock, Li Hao gritted his teeth and tried his best to control his body. The Barrier that Feng Boping and Song Qiumo had jointly created still worked, temporarily blocking the power of this Heaven and Earth.
Although power still continuously flows into Li Hao's body, it is not as surging as before.
Li Hao roared as he suppressed his body, suppressing the immortal Immortal Qi within him, and then diverting the power he had absorbed into his body to another location.
Fortunately, he had enough Great Meridian open in his body, along with the Yin Yang Dual Meridians, to barely manage to convert a portion of that vast and boundless Heaven and Earth Power out of his body. The remaining portion no longer caused such severe damage to his body.
Amidst this excruciating pain, Li Hao was trying to calm both his body and mind.
Only in this way can the Trait of "Keep a Low Profile" be triggered, allowing the body to heal slowly.
This is a self-healing power comparable to that of the Undying Realm.
But at this moment, with the combined effects of the tearing pain in his body and Divine Soul, how difficult and how slim the peace that Li Hao sought was!
He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes in pain, clenched his fists, and squatted on the ground like a shrimp.
He felt the wind between Heaven and Earth, thinking how wonderful it would be if that gentle breeze could take away his pain.
But the wind merely swept by, taking nothing away and leaving nothing behind.
Will I just die like this?
Li Hao couldn't help but think.
He thought of that Courtyard filled with stars, and of the many faces that lined the road to see him off as he left that Xuanhe and resplendent Divine General Residence.
He thought of the Little White Fox, Ren Qianqian, Old Feng who had just stood in front of him with a fist-sized hole in his chest, and Song Qiumo, whose face was pale and weak.
Hot blood dripped down his face like beads of sweat.
Li Hao breathed slowly, recalling the tranquility he felt atop the Snow Mountain when he contemplated the Heaven and Earth.
He knew that simply resisting and converting the force wouldn't work; he also needed to guide and transmit this power.
Like a snowflake in the Heaven and Earth, it rises when the wind blows and falls when the wind stops.
His breathing went from deep to rapid, and then gradually from rapid to slow.
His tense body slowly relaxed, and he finally sat down on the ground.
Its body, which had expanded to four or five meters, was slowly shrinking down.
But as his bones and flesh contracted, returning to their original form, his torn skin was tattered and covered in blood, making him look like a blood-soaked figure.
Such a tragic sight made Song Qiumo stare intently, silent, her slender hand pressed against the snow, clenching tighter and tighter.
Deep Anger and murderous intent gradually seeped into those clear, bright eyes.
Seeing that Li Hao's condition seemed to have stabilized, Feng Boping breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, the Barrier he and Song Qiumo had jointly set up had collapsed and was riddled with holes.
The power of Heaven and Earth and earth was still flowing into Li Hao's body, but when it reached the area around Li Hao's body, apart from a small amount entering his body, the rest swirled around like a whirlwind and then moved elsewhere.
On the boy's face, which was torn open and covered in blood, Feng Boping saw the pain slowly subside and a sense of tranquility gradually appear on his face, aside from the initial grievances.
The Feng Boping had subsided, but instead, his eyes welled up with tears, and one of them rolled down his cheeks.
If he hadn't left that Divine Might and noble mansion, how could the young man before him have encountered such danger, and why would he have to face the Great Demon King at Border Pass a young age!
He didn't know how many people in that mansion would True Heart feel sorry for the young man if they saw this scene.
The energy of Heaven and Earth and earth swept over, stirring up the snow and the withered leaves hidden within it, but this energy formed a hurricane-like force around Li Hao, encircling him.
Sitting in the eye of the storm, Li Hao's expression gradually calmed down. His torn flesh was still bleeding, but slowly, the bleeding stopped.
The Trait of Keep a Low Profile and biding one's time was activated at this moment. In this agonizing purgatory, Li Hao achieved inner peace and relaxation.
His breathing gradually became smooth and long.
His body was covered in torn flesh, which appeared to be scabbed over.
The ground beneath him was covered in snow stained red.
I don't know how long it's been.
Li Hao slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view were the concerned looks from Old Feng and Song Qiumo. A slight smile appeared on Li Hao's face, "I'm fine."
"You're almost dead, and you're saying you're fine!"
Feng Boping gritted his teeth, wanting to raise his hand and give Li Hao a hard knock on the head, but he held back. His tense body relaxed at this moment, and he plopped down next to him.
Song Qiumo gave Li Hao a deep look, then remained silent.
Li Hao raised his hand and dispersed the swirling Heaven and Earth Power around him. At this moment, he had controlled the out-of-control immortal Immortal Qi within his body, and his body no longer needed to draw upon it.
The chaotic energy in the surrounding Heaven and Earth gradually subsided, like autumn Falling Leaves in the wind.
"I'm sorry to have dragged you into this."
Li Hao looked at the two of them; all three were severely injured and in a terrible state.
"Stop with the nonsense. Once we've recovered, we'll go and cause them trouble!"
Old Feng grinned slightly. Now that he was relaxed, he turned his hand over, took out some medicine from inside his robe, poured out the bottles and jars, and picked through them, stuffing them into his mouth.
These medicines are extremely expensive, but they don't work immediately; their effects need time to spread.
However, as a form of recuperation after a major battle, they can recover in just one or two days.
"That's right." Song Qiumo also took out her own healing medicine and swallowed it, responding softly to Feng Boping's words.
Li Hao nodded; the score for today couldn't just be settled like that.
"Little Mouse."
Feng Boping tossed some medicine to Li Hao, but Li Hao didn't take it. He just shook his head slightly. He was immune to these medicines, and taking them wouldn't have any effect. He could only rely on himself.
Fortunately, he possesses the special attribute of "Keep a Low Profile's abilities and biding one's time," which surpasses even these medicines. If he could reach the Undying Realm of the Three Immortalities, and combine it with the attribute of "Keep a Low Profile's abilities and biding one's time, "Li Hao felt that his self-healing ability would reach an unimaginable level.
Just as Feng Boping was about to speak, a whooshing sound suddenly came rushing in from afar.
The three looked up and their expressions changed drastically. They saw that the three fleeing Demon King had actually returned from the distant horizon!
"You all look a bit unwell, haha!"
The Ten Thousand Mountains Demon King charged forward, his eyes revealing a ferocious killing intent and a look of joy.
Seeing the three of them, Li Hao was the most pitiful, covered in blood, looking as if he had been skinned alive.
The remaining two, like candles flickering in the wind, hadn't recovered yet.
