Slaying Demons Beyond the Pass

Outside the Pass, a cold wind blows in gusts.

Li Hao flew through the Sky Traversal, soaring towards a more distant place.

This time, he no longer needs to worry about being ambushed by the Demon King at any time and needing to rely on Old Feng's protection to escape.

Although he was only at the Three Immortalities Peak, Li Hao felt that even if he encountered Dao Heart Realm Demon King, he could fight him without needing to Immortal Transformation.

Unfortunately.

He added more points, advancing from the Seventh Dan to the Eighth Dan of the Path of the Physical Body, but was prompted that he needed to refine his Dao Heart.

Of the four steps in the Four Establishments Realm, the first step Dao Heart Realm, is the weakest, but it is crucial.

Li Hao can only improve by finding that Dao Heart on his own.

Li Hao felt that once he found the Dao Heart Points, he would most likely step into the peak of the Four Establishments Realm, which was the level of that Buddha Master.

At that time, apart from the Imperial Court, there should be nowhere in the territory of Great Yu that can stop his progress.

Within three hundred li outside the pass, Li Hao had already Angling the area thoroughly.

Now, as he passed through again, Li Hao only saw a few small Demon that had wandered in from who-knows-where, living and foraging here, which he easily killed.

The Demon in this desolate region are like weeds; if they are not cleared away for a period of time, they will grow back.

Li Hao planned to make some of his own Military Banner and plant them in these areas to let these Demon know that this place was their Forbidden Zone.

Seven hundred miles away lies the Ten Thousand Mountains Region.

This place was originally Forbidden Zone for Human Race, and no one was allowed to enter. Otherwise, the Ten Thousand Mountains Demon King would have captured and killed them, and the Great Yu Dynasty would have been unable to issue a warrant for his arrest.

But now, Li Hao stepped directly into this place.

Along the way, he casually killed four Demons at the Heaven and Man Realm.

These Demon reside on their own Mountain Peak, their territories spanning about a hundred miles, and they do not invade each other's territory.

Li Hao didn't give them a chance to speak, directly raising his hand to kill them, even flattening the Mountain Peak.

When Li Hao arrived at this once Forbidden Zone area, he found the towering mountains completely silent.

There were only a few low-level Demon at the Circulation Realm inside, lacking intelligence.

The rest of the Demon have all vanished.

They either died in that great battle, or fled here after hearing the news.

As Li Hao sped along, he saw caves carved out by Demon on these mountain peaks, filled with a foul stench.

On the Mountain Peak, there are still Demon banners made by Demon in the style of Human Race, bearing the words "Ten Thousand Mountains," dilapidated and leaning against the cliffs, having lost their former vigor.

Li Hao unleashed his Divine Soul, which toured the entire Ten Thousand Mountains Domain.

If they encountered any minor Demon, baring their teeth, they would simply slap them to death.

Near the center lies the Mountain Peak of the Ten Thousand Mountains Demon King, a place of treacherous peaks and steep cliffs. A magnificent stone staircase leads to the Mountain Summit.

At the Mountain Summit stands a magnificent Palace Hall, like a royal palace nestled deep in the mountains, Xuanhe grandeur tinged with a hint of eeriness.

All around stand giant lion Sculpture in the original form of the Ten Thousand Mountains Demon King, with dragons and phoenixes engraved on the base of the Sculpture, seemingly to pleasing the giant lions.

Li Hao flew past and casually smashed them.

With the strength of a million-pound body, one can easily split mountains and shatter rocks.

If it were the power to Object Manipulation, one could move mountains or cleave peaks with a single thought.

They didn't leave in a hurry.

Li Hao saw that nothing was left in the Palace Hall, except for the jewels and jades that were inlaid in the Palace Hall.

But to Demon, these things are of no value except for their ability to glow.

After touring around, Li Hao found nothing. The cave abode of those Demons at the Three Immortalities Realm were all empty, clearly indicating that they had prepared for their retreat and escape before the great battle.

Li Hao kicked the palace-like Myriad Demon Hall to pieces, then soared into the sky and left.

He changed direction and headed south, where the Dragon Mountain Dojo was located.

At the Dragon Mountain Dojo.

The once bustling and lively Dao Arena now completely empty.

The once-burning Incense has now dwindled to just a few sticks burning, with hardly any ashes remaining.

The two little demons, who hadn't yet transformed into human form, sneaked over and crawled in through a dog hole behind the Dao Arena. Seeing the empty Dao Arena, they bared their teeth and revealed a hint of smugness.

He then ran to the Incense burner, suddenly puffed out his chest, and tried to suckle it.

But suddenly a shadow fell, followed by a stench, and the buzzing of insects filled the air, enveloping the two little Demon.

The two little Demon showed expressions of terror. Before they could struggle or scream, their voices were completely drowned out, and they turned into blood. A wisp of Demon Aura squeezed out of their bodies drifted into the mouth of a desiccated Demon.

"A mere mountain demon dares to come and inhale the Dragon Incense."

The mummified Demon sneered. This Incense was no ordinary incense; it was made from a mixture of special Demon flesh and blood. The burning incense contained a unique Demon Aura, and absorbing it during cultivation could enhance one's cultivation level.

"The Dragon Lord has not returned yet. According to previous intelligence, the attack on Heaven's Gate Pass has failed."

A woman with a seductive upper body but a centipede-like lower body swam over, her folding fan veiling her face as she spoke softly:

"My lord, now that we're all alone here, why don't we leave? The Dragon Lord probably won't be coming back."

"Go, where can we go?"

The mummified Demon shook its head. "If the Dragon Lord returns and finds us gone, he will hunt us down."

"We can escape elsewhere, to the Northern Lands of the Great Yu Dynasty. The battle in Northern Yan has just ended, and I heard that many Demon died there. There should be a lot of territory available, and we can go there and make ourselves kings."

"That's what the seductive centipede woman said."

"There's Saint Palace over there. Although we've retreated thousands of miles after our defeat, we need to make our presence known to the Saint Palace if Past there. After all, we're not some lowly mountain demons."

The mummified corpse shook its head and said, "Moreover, I suspect that the Dragon Lord may have gone to join the Dragon Gate. I heard the Dragon Lord say that the Dragon Gate will attack Liang Prefecture. I wonder if they will choose Heaven's Gate Pass as their breakthrough point. If they do, the Dragon Lord will come back. Then we can follow the Dragon Lord into battle, get a share of the spoils, and gain quite a bit of benefit."

"Dragon Gate..."

Upon hearing these two words, the bewitching centipede woman's eyes lit up. As a scaly Demon, she longed to enter the Dragon Gate.

I've heard there are many True Dragon there, and they even teach Demon Cultivation Method transforming into dragons through tribulations.

"Since my husband has such plans, I will follow your advice."

The seductive centipede woman spoke softly, her voice laced with allure.

The mummified Demon smiled, about to put his arm around her and say something, when he suddenly noticed something and turned to look.

Upon seeing this, his pupils immediately contracted.

Not far away, on the Dao Arena, stood a young man dressed in fine clothes, quietly watching them.

It's you!

When the mummified Demon saw the boy's appearance, it was horrified, its soul almost leaving its body.

It was the only one of the Three Immortalities Demon to escape the attack on Heaven's Gate Pass, and it had witnessed the power of this young man firsthand.

Ordinary cultivators at the Three Immortalities Realm are no match for him!

The other party actually dared to track them down to this place, even though they were thousands of miles away from the Heaven's Gate Pass.

"Human Race?"

The seductive centipede woman looked at Li Hao with suspicion. She wanted to smile seductively and step forward to deal with him, but when she heard her husband's startled cry, her heart clenched and she had a bad feeling.

"What did you just say about Dragon Gate? Tell me again in detail."

Li Hao smiled slightly.

"How dare you come here! This is our Demon territory!"

The mummified corpse stared intently at Li Hao, but its mind transmitted a message to the alluring centipede woman beside it. "Go and kill this brat. I'll deal with the people behind him."

Upon hearing this, the alluring centipede woman glanced around but saw no one else. Not daring to be careless, she gave a seductive smile and said, "Where did this adorable Human Race from, little brother? Don't you think I'm beautiful?"

Her lower centipede body contracted, transforming into slender, fair legs, and she swayed gracefully toward Li Hao.

A series of demonic winds swept through, and bewitching Demon Art was activated, which would affect even ordinary Heaven and Man Realm to some extent.

Li Hao remained standing still.

Bang!

Suddenly, the head of the seductive centipede woman exploded as if it had been slapped in the face.

Blood splattered, and the alluring smile on her face remained frozen on her lips.

Its body flew backward and landed to the side, transforming into the shape of a huge centipede, but its head had exploded, from which emerged a Divine Soul, its eyes filled with terror.

What kind of monster is this Human Race? He's clearly at the Three Immortalities Realm, yet my husband wants me to kill him?

The mummified corpse, which was about to turn and flee, had just lifted its foot when its expression froze on the spot.

They can't even hold someone back?

"I don't have much patience, speak properly."

Li Hao said calmly, and a Sword Qi, like a starlight, rose from the ground, pierced straight through the mummified corpse's shoulder, then flew back and stopped in front of its eyes.

The chilling Killing Aura made the mummified corpse feel its heart pounding faster.

Compared to the previous time, the boy's strength seemed to have increased to a level that he couldn't quite comprehend.

Could it be that they've crossed over to the Four Establishments Realm?

It felt that it must be that its brain had broken down, which was impossible.

A deathly shadow loomed over the corpse, which swallowed hard. Under Li Hao's coercion, it revealed everything it knew.

After it finished speaking, Li Hao didn't hold back and casually flicked out a Sword Qi that pierced through its body and then destroyed its Divine Soul.

As for the bewitching centipede woman's Divine Soul beside him, Li Hao showed no mercy, gathering the Heaven and Earth Power with a wave of his hand to annihilate it.

This Indestructible Realm corpse was merely trying to reveal its true form and fight Li Hao, but the difference in power was too great.

"... Liang Prefecture, Dragon Gate..."

Li Hao's eyes flickered. This mummified corpse didn't know much either. The Demon had their eyes on Liang Prefecture and were eager to make a move, which was consistent with the Military Report that Li Xuanli had sent earlier.

However, according to Second Master, the Dragon Gate is one of the top forces among Demon.

The powerful figures within their ranks are comparable to those of the Divine General Residence.

If the Dragon Gate were to gather all its strongest members to attack Liang Prefecture, then Liang Prefecture would most likely be engulfed in flames of war.

The Li Family alone might not be able to hold onto such a large territory.

Li Hao shook his head slightly, not thinking too much about it. At present, it was just some rumors. He would focus on guarding his own Heaven's Gate Pass first.

Li Hao's Divine Soul wandered through the Dao Arena, finding some remaining Demon resources, but nothing rare or valuable.

Li Hao found four Demon Cultivation Method inside, which he added to his Panel; they were all Body Refining techniques.

He stood in the Dao Arena and practiced each technique one by one, but the parts of his body that were being trained by these four Cultivation Method overlapped quite a bit, which only increased his strength by 300,000 jin.

Now, his physical strength has increased to 1.3 million jin.

In his Divine Power State, he weighs thirteen million jin, a physique that is extremely powerful even among Demon.

After leaving the Dragon Mountain Dojo, Li Hao stomped his foot high in the sky, causing the entire Dao Arena to collapse and be destroyed in an instant.

Then he turned and left, heading towards the Saint Demon King's Saint Peak.

But when Li Hao arrived, the place was deserted. The Demon from Outside the Pass, who had gathered to kill him, had abandoned their lair and fled to who-knows-where.

Li Hao was somewhat disappointed. He was originally afraid of encountering these Demon Kings and only dared to Angling on the edge of the Outside the Pass. Now he wanted to find a Demon King to practice against, but he couldn't find one.

Left with no other choice, Li Hao could only turn his attention to more distant places.

He severed the Saint Peak, left the place, and ventured deeper into more distant lands.

Fire Melt Cave.

For miles around the cave, there are only bare, black rocks, while inside the cave is an active volcano with flowing Magma.

Red snakes and fire lizards coiled around the Magma pool, some of them transformed into half-demon forms, with lizard upper bodies and snow-white human legs, clinging to the rock wall like geckos.

At that moment, a small sparrow with black wings flew in from outside the cave.

After landing, she transformed into the appearance of a six or seven-year-old girl. She looked exquisitely beautiful, but her demeanor was mature. She glanced around and then quickly lowered her head to transmit her voice.

Before long, the Magma surged, and a giant python covered in red scales rose from the bottom of the pool, revealing its surging Demon Aura without any restraint.

Most strangely, its neck is forked, revealing three snake heads.

"Tianji Hall, how's the situation with the investigation I asked you to find out? Have those guys from the Great Void Realm really entered the mortal world?"

Upon seeing the enormous, three-headed, red-scaled python, the little girl, with a submissive expression, said in a clear, crisp voice:

"Your Three-Headed Prime, you can rest assured that Tianji Hall can handle things with ease. We have already ascertained everything you need."

"The Great Void Realm has indeed entered the mortal world. This time, they are going to attack Liang Prefecture at the invitation of the Saint Palace and the Dragon Gate. This time, the Dragon Gate will take the lead, with the Great Void Realm and the Saint Palace playing a supporting role."

"Furthermore, the Ten Thousand Mountains Demon King failed in his attack on Heaven's Gate Mountain and fled along with the Dragon Lord and the Saint Demon King, leaving their territories vacant."

"The State Teacher of the Northern Cold Kingdom was under the command of the Ten Thousand Mountains Demon King, and he has now retreated. The Northern Cold Dynasty is currently lacking a State Teacher. If you, the Three-Headed Prime Minister, are interested, you can send one of your subordinates to assist him."

Upon hearing the little girl's words, the three-headed giant dragon with crimson scales' eyes flashed, and one of its heads sneered:

"That Demon King was truly stupid. It's good that his stupid son died; I heard he was killed by a Human Race. He should really thank that person."

"Dragon Gate has invited us. Should we go?"

"Another head asked."

The three heads seemed to have independent thoughts, and each spoke in a different voice.

The largest head in the middle remained silent, its Divine Might and profound. It spat out two blood-red agate-like objects, which flew towards the little girl.

"This is your payment."

"Thank you Three-Headed Prime."

The little girl took it, a look of delight on her face, and then asked respectfully, "Is there anything else you need?"

"That's all for now, you can go ahead."

"Good."

The little girl agreed, and then her Yao Qi aura surged forth, transforming her back into her original black bird form, and she flew out of the cave.

After emerging from the Fire Melt Cave, the black bird rapidly increased its altitude, soaring into the Cloud End, and used Secret Method to disappear from sight.

But just as its body was about to disappear into nothingness, a golden Sword Light suddenly flew by and severed its wings.
