As he broke through the bottleneck and pierced the Life Gate within his physical body, a vigorous life Aura emanated from Li Hao's body, circulating and circulating outside his body before contracting back inside.

This life force gradually sinks into the acupoints and flesh of the whole body, transforming into an Unyielding Power.

This inexhaustible power permeates the entire body and can be activated in times of crisis, allowing the body to unleash its maximum power.

Normally speaking...

The three realms of Three Immortalities are vastly different from each other.

The Undying Realm breaks through the mortal body and can regenerate severed limbs, but the Indestructible Realm will not suffer any physical damage at all. Like Divine Weapon, one can attack without any worries and does not need to consider the harm of the Cultivation Method to oneself, and can use many Cultivation Method to a more extreme and violent degree.

In this way, its explosive power is naturally stronger than that of the Undying Realm, almost doubling the crushing force.

The Undeclining Realm, however, is a complete release, equivalent to having two lives, and can unleash ultimate moves beyond the body's normal capacity through endless power release.

This is also the formidable deterrent power of the Undeclining Realm.

At this moment, through two Cultivation Method sessions, Li Hao had reached the peak of the Three Immortalities.

But Li Hao could sense that this was far from the true limit.

If all other realms have limits, then the Three Immortalities Realm also have limits.

The Three Immortalities refer to the stage of Body Cultivator to the point of Transcending Mortality and Entering Sainthood, a complete transformation, and an extremely important watershed realm in cultivation.

Li Hao also wanted to explore the limits of the Three Immortalities Realm.

He did not stop and continued to cultivate the third physical Cultivation Method.

The original Primordial Beginning Art Fragment, derived from the Sixth Dan of the Path of the Physical Body, has a fifth level: the Primordial Beginning Body.

Using the name of Cultivation Method, it can be considered Perfection.

But now, with the influx of insights from the Seventh Dan of the Path of the Physical Body, this Cultivation Method has quietly evolved once again, transforming into the Supreme Body!

In the Primordial Beginning, all things returned to their origin; the supreme being reigns supreme!

If the Primordial Beginning is about cultivating and unifying power, then the Supreme Being is about transcendence!

A breath of Immortal Qi emanated from Li Hao's body, connecting with the Power of Heaven and Earth to Refinement himself. His flesh and blood seemed to be infused with divinity, subtly radiating golden light.

A golden ocean seemed to be swirling within his pores, his flesh and blood were rapidly transforming, and his physical strength was constantly increasing.

The life Aura condensing within him grew increasingly intense, constantly swirling and refining.

While others in the Undeclining Realm might need a day to regenerate severed limbs, Li Hao only needs an hour.

If combined with the attribute of Keep a Low Profile's abilities, it might grow in half an hour.

With the cultivation of the Supreme Body, Li Hao's physical body has become even stronger. Not only is his self-healing ability improved, but the degree to which his physical body is indestructible also surpasses that of ordinary Three Immortalities.

A moment later, the energy surge around Li Hao subsided.

A vast and ethereal Aura emanated from every pore of Li Hao's body.

The Supreme Body has been cultivated.

True State level!

His body stands alone here, yet it is like a distant ray of light reflecting and shining here, giving a feeling of standing in the mortal world, yet transcending it.

The Supreme Body cultivated, is a physical form, not an offensive force, but rather a defensive one.

However, its defensive effect is extremely exaggerated, surpassing all others, making it impossible for many Cultivation Method and skills to apply to it.

With his entire body relaxed and without exerting any force, Li Hao walked in the torrential rain without getting a single drop of rain on him.

The Aura emanating from every pore of its body would naturally cause the surrounding dust and snow to give way.

When attacked, the body will instinctively defend itself, making it difficult for fists, feet, and weapons to touch it.

If they clash with someone of the same realm, by fully activating the Supreme Body state, one can even briefly transform into an untargetable target, transcending the mundane world.

Li Hao didn't know whether this Supreme Body state would be stronger or weaker if he encountered Dao Heart Realm expert at the first step of the Four Establishments Realm.

As he finished his practice, Li Hao suddenly felt a slight vibration in every pore of his body.

It felt like something was about to burst out of my body.

A burning, intense heat surged through me, as if I were engulfed in flames, and my blood began to rush uncontrollably.

His pores seemed to be breathing heavily, exhaling a hot Aura, and his whole body was shrouded in a dark golden glow.

As the flow of Qi and Blood accelerated, the golden luster became even more dazzling.

Until some kind of valve was opened, suddenly, in the blink of an eye, Li Hao's entire body seemed to explode with power, his body tensed up abruptly, and a surge of surging power emerged.

His flesh and blood turned crimson gold, and his vision and hearing suddenly increased dramatically. His eyes seemed to be able to pierce through the Void and see much farther, seven or eight times the distance they used to be.

His hearing became more acute; he could even hear the sound of insects crawling in the jungle dozens of miles away, and the image of the insects and their footprints crawling in the snow would appear in his mind like an echo.

Li Hao's mind became clear, yet it was also filled with a strong sense of excitement and Destruction desire.

Li Hao was surprised; this was not a characteristic of the Supreme Body.

He quickly examined himself and soon realized the reason.

It seems that I have... reached the limit of the Power Through Realm!

This strange state is the brief state one briefly enters after reaching the limit of the Power Through Realm.

Li Hao then tested his physical strength. When he was cultivating the Bright Jade True Devil Art, his physical strength reached 500,000 to 600,000 jin, but now it has increased to 1 million jin.

Li Hao's body contracted, transforming from the appearance of True Dragon into a human form, and the feeling of tension and expansion throughout his body became increasingly obvious.

"Is this the limit of the Power Through Realm? But it seems I can surpass this limit, and my physical strength can even increase!"

Li Hao felt his blood surging through his body, and his physical strength was rising steadily, from one million jin to four or five million jin, and finally to tens of millions of jin!

When he reached this level, Li Hao's entire body turned dark gold, and his pores contained countless dark gold lights, like Starlight.

He felt his heart pounding and his breathing becoming rapid.

Li Hao controlled the blood in his body, gradually calming it down and pulling himself out of this extreme state.

A moment later, his strength diminished, returning to its original level of a million jin.

"The ultimate limit of the Soul Succession Realm is the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form."

"Is this limit of the Power Through Realm due to this strange state of physical activation?"

Li Hao's eyes flashed; he temporarily referred to this state as "Divine Power."

Power Circulation Extreme Realm, Divine Power.

Judging from the results just now, it can increase physical strength tenfold in a short period of time!

But it wasn't just strength that surged.

If it were just a matter of physical strength increasing from a million jin to ten million jin, it wouldn't be anything special. After all, members of the Imperial Clan at the Circulation Realm can achieve a strength of ten million jin by cultivating Peerless Meridian Opening Method and Fortune Circulation Method.

However, in the Divine Power State, physical strength is also amplified.

Now, having entered the Three Immortalities Realm and this Divine Power State, with his flesh and blood as pure as gold, Li Hao's self-healing ability and the indestructibility of his physical body are ten times greater than before!

A severed arm that takes an hour to heal can be regenerated in just a few minutes!

For ordinary cultivators at the Three Immortalities Realm, limb regeneration takes at least one or two days.

The difference is too great.

Even if seriously injured in battle, a little restraint can allow the body to heal and unleash its fighting power once again.

Like Old Feng, who was previously ambushed by Demon and had a huge hole torn in his abdomen, it took him half a day to heal even after taking elixirs.

Although those at the Four Establishments Realm are stronger, their healing abilities are not significantly enhanced compared to those at the Three Immortalities Realm, since they are not Body Refining.

"After reaching the limit of the Power Through Realm, I can practice other Cultivation Method and further enhance my physical strength. The feeling of this Divine Power State doesn't seem to be like the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form of the Soul Succession Realm. It's not a true limit, but rather a kind of threshold."

"Reaching this threshold will allow you to briefly activate this Divine Power State."

"Perhaps, 360 Soul Condensation to awaken the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form and Earth is not the limit of the Soul Succession Realm; it's just that I haven't reached a higher level yet..."

Li Hao's eyes flashed. If it was the second possibility, then the path of Martial Dao cultivation was far too profound.

It should be noted that ordinary Soul Condensation typically take less than a hundred attempts.

360 times is already astonishing; even Imperial Clan only manages around 160 times.

"Now, both the Power Through Realm and the Soul Succession Realm have reached this limit."

"The Great Meridian of the Circulation Realm are not yet fully opened. If one can Entering Spirit Path and raise the Imperial Dao to the Seventh Dan, then all the Great Meridian in the body will be opened."

"Another method is to find more Meridian Opening Method, fill in the gaps and deficiencies, and open up the remaining Great Meridian one by one."

"Next time I go to the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, maybe I can find a suitable Cultivation Method."

"Currently, there are 98 Great Meridian, Yin Yang Dual Meridians have been opened. We are still 10 Great Meridian short of the usual 108!"

"I wonder what state one will achieve after all the meridians in the Circulation Realm Meridian Opening."

Li Hao's eyes flickered.

When he first opened the Yin Yang Dual Meridians, he vaguely glimpsed a golden light, standing like Heavenly Gate, yet unreachable.

If all the Great Meridian in the body are opened, then perhaps one can enter and touch them.

Through his continuous cultivation, Li Hao realized that the state achieved by reaching the limits of each realm was the most powerful combat strength.

For example, Land Immortal Realm in the Heaven and Man Realm can ascend to immortality with a single Immortal Qi immortal energy, and can even contend with those in the Four Establishments Realm.

Of course, the main reason he was able to kill the Black Bird Demon King was due to his Oriole Diagram, which had a 1% critical attack attribute.

Otherwise, the Black Bird Demon King would at least have had a chance to escape and wouldn't have died.

However, what kind of power one will gain at the moment of complete ascension to immortality, and whether it will be able to sever the Dao Heart Realm, remains unknown.

Li Hao's previous level of Immortal Transformation, with his flesh and blood rotting, was probably around 30%.

When it exceeds 40%, it becomes very difficult to recover on its own; this is a critical point.

He only managed to stop it by relying on the help of Old Feng and Song Qiumo to block the flow of Heaven and Earth.

Without external assistance, death is certain.

However, in other words, although it is risky, within 40%, this portion of power can be sacrificed and borrowed.

When faced with a life-or-death situation, it becomes the strongest trump card, capable of turning the tide!

"I wonder what the limits of the Three Immortalities Realm are?"

Li Hao felt a surge of anticipation and a vague suspicion, but the possibility seemed unbelievable to him, which only fueled his longing.

Regaining his composure, Li Hao continued practicing the fourth Cultivation Method.

Dragon Cicada Vacuum Body.

This Cultivation Method has been developed to a higher level, transcending the original Cultivation Method itself.

In addition, Li Hao had previously plundered the Bright Jade True Devil Art and the Five Viscera Primal Chaos Body, and deduced that they had reached even higher levels.

Heaven and Earth storm still lingered around the mountain peak, its power growing stronger and showing no signs of dissipating.

From that energy storm, Feng Boping could sense an aura that occasionally emanated from within, an Aura that even he found somewhat heavy.

Outside the mountain peak, Li Hongzhuang looked solemn, and the several Blood Fiend Army Deputy General beside him were also staring intently at the mountain peak, their eyes revealing fear.

They could sense that the young man inside seemed to have... reached the Three Immortalities Realm.

The occasional glimpse of his Aura sent shivers down their spines.

The other person appears to be under fifteen years old.

Is this the most outstanding genius in the Li Family's history, surpassing even their ancestors?

At the foot of the mountain, Ren Qianqian sat cross-legged, holding her sword. A significant portion of the energy storm sweeping across the mountain peak was absorbed by her.

The Aura within her body was constantly rising, and her Soul Avatar was condensing.

In front of her knees, the Little White Fox lay on a clump of snow, looking listless.

Ever since it ate the Demon King's flesh and blood, it has been listless. Only the color of its eyes has changed from black to a touch of orange-yellow, and the color is deepening, becoming dark and dull, with a dark red luster.

At this moment, an energy storm was gathering, but it merely raised its eyelids to look at it before lying back down on the snow. However, the energy that flowed around it was silently absorbed by its fur.

Li Hao's cultivation continues.

He practiced each of the various Cultivation Method one by one, comprehended each one, and mastered the details.

From sunrise to sunset, the Aura on the mountain peak flickered, and the occasional glimpse of an indescribable feeling made Li Hongzhuang and the others outside the peak twitch.

Finally.

The mountain peak seemed to be shrouded in a long-lasting tranquility.

The Heaven and Earth Energy surrounding the mountain peak ceased to grow and instead slowly contracted until it transformed into a Qing Feng whirlwind and disappeared.

On the mountaintop, only Li Hao sat quietly.

His clothes were somewhat tattered, torn during his previous transformation into a dragon.

Through the gaps in his tattered clothes, one could see his naked body, which appeared to be forged from gold.

All kinds of Aura were concealed by the Myriad Manifestation Attribute.

Nevertheless, the transcendent aura inherent in the Supreme Body, along with the subtle Evil Qi contained within the Bright Jade True Devil Body, gave the young man an indescribable air.

Li Hongzhuang stared intently, slightly lost in thought.

She had a feeling that the boy had changed drastically and was no longer the Li Hao she knew.

Grandmaster walks alone.

Li Hao, however, has already forged his own path and reached an even higher level.

Opening his eyes, Li Hao's gaze seemed to hold a hidden Starlight, his eyes calm, like a tranquil Lake.

Noticing the two figures below the mountain, Li Hao looked down and saw the Little White Fox curled up as if fast asleep. His eyes softened.

Having practiced and refined all the Cultivation Method in his body, Li Hao's physique had reached an unprecedented level.

Although he hadn't tried it, Li Hao felt that if he encountered Great Demon King again, he might be able to... fight it!

He needs to verify for himself to see exactly how well it can be done.

It's a slight pity that, although he has reached the limit of the Undeclining Realm through the cultivation of various Cultivation Method and his internal power is as vast as an ocean, he still seems to be some distance from the ultimate limit.

Li Hao stood up naturally, seemingly drawing upon the Heaven and Earth Power on the entire mountain, lifting it upwards, giving the feeling that Heaven and Earth were rising with him.

Li Hao looked up at the Cloud End, his gaze reaching directly into the depths of the clouds where Old Feng stood. The two looked at each other, and Li Hao smiled.

Feng Boping sighed, "Indeed, he's at the Three Immortalities Realm."

Although Li Hao completely concealed his Aura, he could still sense that this kid was truly a monster.

Li Hao gracefully arrived at the foot of the mountain. As the Heaven and Earth Power dissipated, Ren Qianqian also gradually finished her cultivation. When she opened her eyes, she saw a gentle and refined young man standing in front of her.

"Young Master."

Ren Qianqian quickly stood up from the ground and called out sweetly.

Li Hao glanced at her Aura; she had reached the Tenth Layer of the Soul Succession Realm.

Having returned from Great Yue City, achieving this level in just over half a year is a respectable pace of cultivation.

The entire city's Warrior benefited from the Demon King's banquet, with most experiencing an improvement in their cultivation. Ren Qianqian's improvement was also quite noticeable.

However, below the Grandmaster Realm, one can rapidly advance using only resources. As long as resources are available, making rapid progress is not a pipe dream.

Of course, taking elixirs to improve one's cultivation level is somewhat superficial, while dietary supplements are a different matter entirely.

"It seems you're almost at the Spirit Wandering Realm as well," Li Hao said.

Ren Qianqian smiled and said, "Yes, I'll go prepare for the Spirit Refining later."

Li Hao nodded and said, "If we go back to the city, I'll write you a Spirit Refining Method. You can practice according to it."

Ren Qianqian exclaimed in surprise, "Really?"

Li Hao smiled, then bent down and picked up the Little White Fox from the snow.

The Little White Fox opened its eyelids and peeked out. Seeing that it was Li Hao, it closed its eyes again, relieved.

Li Hao noticed the changes in the Little White Fox, but upon investigation, he found it wasn't infected with any disease and it wasn't a serious problem; it was most likely just overeating.

"Let's go back."

Li Hao said.

Ren Qianqian nodded and followed closely.

Li Hongzhuang stepped forward and hurriedly asked, "Hao'er, has your cultivation... broken through?"

"Um."

Li Hao nodded slightly and didn't elaborate.

Li Hongzhuang was left standing there, stunned, in the snow.

Previously, she could vaguely sense some Aura, but she wasn't sure. Now, however, she had no doubt about it.

Divine General Residence in Qingzhou City.

The arrival of the Nine Beast Cauldrons attracted many onlookers along the roadside, who whispered among themselves about what was sealed inside.

Upon hearing the report, He Jianlan immediately ordered her men to bring in the Blood Fiend Army from General’s Residence the Evergreen Courtyard.

As the Nine Beast Cauldrons were placed down, the ladies from the other courtyards also rushed over upon hearing the news, examining the cauldrons and wondering what was inside.

The molten iron seal on top prevents it from being inspected.

What's inside?

He Jianlan looked at the Blood Fiend Army Deputy General escorting the shipment and knew that he was Li Hongzhuang's Trusted Attendant and also a son of the Li Family Concubine-born Disciples. Her attitude was quite gentle.

"Reporting to the First Madam, I was ordered by the General to deliver the Demon King's Precious Blood back to Young Master Li Hao."

The middle-aged deputy general bowed and then spoke.

He Jianlan was taken aback, and when she heard Li Hao's name, the ladies from the other courtyards also paused slightly.

Nowadays, the name Divine General Residence.

"The Demon King's Precious Blood?"

Gao Qingqing stared in astonishment at the Nine Beast Cauldrons. Such a massive quantity—was this the blood of Four Establishments Realm Great Demon King?

Beside him, Li Yun and Li Zhining stared blankly, feeling that the words "Demon King" were extremely distant.

After a slight pause, He Jianlan's expression changed slightly. She clearly remembered what Li Hao had said when he left the manor.

Is this now a way of repaying a second favor?

He Jianlan's eyes welled up slightly, but she quickly composed herself and said, "Then I'll trouble you all to deliver this Demon King's Precious Blood to the Mountains and Rivers Courtyard."

"Yes, First Madam."

The middle-aged deputy general accepted the order.

But before he could leave, He Jianlan hurriedly asked, "Hao'er doing well at the Border Pass? Is this Demon King... the father of that Lesser Demon King?"

The middle-aged deputy general shook his head slightly and said, "The Ten Thousand Mountains Demon King gathered three Demon Kings to invade. This is the precious blood of one of the Demon King. The Ten Thousand Mountains Demon King and the other two have already escaped."

"Four Demon King!"

Everyone turned pale and fell silent.

Even on a major battlefield like the Yanbei Battlefield, which attracts All Under Heaven attention, the simultaneous appearance of four Demon King is enough to shake the imperial court.

Not to mention Heaven's Gate Pass, that isolated city.

"Then Hao'er..." He Jianlan's face was pale, her body trembled, and she felt as if she could not stand up.

The middle-aged lieutenant hurriedly said, "First Madam, there's no need to worry. The Demon King has been driven away, Young Master Li Hao is unharmed, and with the help of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion Master, and with Second Uncle also present, those Demons, if they hadn't escaped quickly, would all have died."

He Jianlan's expression finally calmed down, and her palms were already sweating.

Although she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she could already imagine how dangerous the battlefield at Heaven's Gate Pass must have been.

Having survived such a great calamity, Li Hao chose to return the Demon King's Precious Blood, not out of gratitude to the Li Family, but to repay a debt of kindness.

However, what Li Tiangang sent back back then was only the blood of a Three Thousand Years -Three Immortalities Realm Demon Blood, but now, this is the precious blood of a ten- Ten-Thousand-Year Demon King.

The difference in feedback is too great.

"In two more years, will that child... really have to leave the Li Family?"

He Jianlan held back her tears, feeling a bitter and painful sensation in her heart.

After a while, she waved her hand, signaling that the middle-aged deputy general could leave.

Then she said to the maid beside her, "Write a letter to Liang Prefecture, tell Heavenly Gang that his son has repaid his debt of gratitude!"

Everyone else remained silent upon hearing He Jianlan's words.

Among the crowd, Eighth Madam Wang Xiangru gave a slight, cold laugh, but remained silent.

When her daughter, Li Rumeng, was slapped by Li Hao, she was investigated and questioned afterward, and the reason was revealed. Although no one expressed their opinion, the words "serves her right" were written all over their faces.

As her mother, she couldn't swallow this insult.

However, given Li Hao's current momentum, she couldn't say anything.

In Liang Prefecture, at the Eastern Border War Camp.

Endless Defense Line, a Great Wall built of Blackstone, stretches across the Frontier.

The land Beyond the Border was pitch black, the ground covered with burned weeds, and the trees in the mountains had been cut down to maximize visibility.

To prevent Demon from sneaking close under the cover of night.

The entire area within a hundred miles is clearly visible.

At this moment, outside the Battle Battalion, many soldiers were dragging the corpses of Demon back into the Battle Battalion.

Blood was splattered everywhere on the ground.

On some carts and stretchers were many wounded soldiers, as well as the remains of fallen soldiers.

A great battle has just taken place here, resulting in the deaths and injuries of many Demons.

Although there were casualties among the soldiers, the number was not large.

"... Reporting to the Marshal, 43,255 Demon were annihilated. Our side suffered 720 seriously wounded, over 1,000 lightly wounded, and 321 killed in action!"

An officer approached Li Tiangang and gave a serious report.
