Overwhelming
Upon hearing Li Hao's angry shout, Xia Linglong and Xia Yuanwu changed drastically. They were still thinking of discussing with Li Hao about flanking and ambushing him, but Li Hao directly exposed their whereabouts.
They quickly looked around the battlefield, wary of the Gluttony Valley Master.
Meanwhile, behind the Demon Tide, four ferocious Demon figures stood, their eyes fixed on the chaotic battle, ready to join the fray at any moment.
Behind them, a young girl dressed in Gold Silk Dress stood on the hillside.
The girl had a single golden curved feather on her head, and her Demon Aura was faint. Her face was reserved, her hands hung down at the hem of her skirt, and she looked at the burly man in front of her with a slight respect.
Beneath the strong man's feet lay numerous skeletons, including not only Human Race but also other Demon.
His body was covered in thick brown fur, with curved ram horns on his head. His pale green eyes seemed devoid of any emotion, exuding a cold and demonic Yao Qi.
"King Taisui, are you really not planning to withdraw your troops? The news from western You Province is basically true. If that young man is invited by the Xia Family to join the war, I'm afraid You Province will not fare well."
The girl in the gold dress respectfully offered her advice again.
The burly man before them was none other than the Gluttony Valley Master, King Taisui, who was extremely famous among Demon. Gluttony Valley was feared by many Demons, after all, they were a group of ruthless creatures who were unscrupulous and would eat anyone they saw.
"Hmph, you think a mere piece of news can scare me away? What face will Gluttony Valley have left to command the demons in the future?"
The King Taisui's eyes were cold and sharp as he swept a glance at the girl, saying:
"Even if I didn't see it with my own eyes, and even if that Human Race brat really came to You Province, I've already thought of a few ways to deal with it. What the Candlelight God couldn't do, I'll try!"
"But if that young man joins the battle and cooperates with the Xia Family, I'm afraid we'll suffer heavy losses as well. The Desolate God only wants us to hold them back; it's best not to push them too hard now..."
The girl in the gold dress lowered her head and spoke.
"Snort!"
The King Taisui snorted coldly, his voice resonating like a drumstick in the girl's chest, causing her face to turn deathly pale.
"Your Tianji Hall only needs to provide information and do your job. When did it become your place to interfere?"
Upon seeing his slightly bared fangs, the girl trembled, hurriedly crouched down, and bowed her head, daring not to say another word.
Seeing the girl's terrified state, the other four Demon revealed a hint of Bloodlust and disdain in their eyes. If it weren't for the sake of the Tianji Hall, they wouldn't mind having a taste of this little thing.
"Don't compare us, Gluttony Valley, to those useless trash in the Half-Step Dao Realm Great Void Realm. They couldn't even conquer Liang Prefecture, and it was a surprise attack! It's laughable!"
The King Taisui crushed a skull he had just finished gnawing on, his eyes filled with disdain.
When he first heard that the Candlelight God had reached the Half-Step Dao Realm, he was somewhat surprised and taken aback. But later, when he heard that the Candle God couldn't even defeat Human Race boy, he felt that the Candlelight God's Half-Step Dao Realm was far too exaggerated.
It is a well-known fact that those below the Dao Realm are almost powerless against those at the Dao Realm level, unless the Dao Realm is merely a facade.
Besides, it's Half-Step Dao Realm, who isn't... King Taisui Sui Dark Dao. This was also his secret. It was precisely because he knew the dominance of the Half-Step Dao Realm cultivator when facing Unique Skill Realm cultivator that he found the Candlelight God laughable.
When he attacked the Xia Family's Divine General Residence earlier, he only Past test the waters and did not reveal his trump cards. It was precisely because he had the confidence of being Half-Step Dao Realm cultivator that he dared to challenge them. After all, these ancient Divine General Residence have Sacred Heart Heavenly Treasure and may even be hiding one or two old monsters. A Unique Skill Realm to their door is really not enough.
However, after testing the waters, he did not manage to touch the true essence of the Divine General Residence. But he could sense that even if he did, he should be able to escape if he unleashed his full power.
Just then, as he was waiting to enjoy the upcoming second feast, a sharp, youthful voice suddenly rang out from the sky.
The sound reverberated across the battlefield like thunder. King Taisui and the four elders of Gluttony Valley beside him were stunned, their faces suddenly contorted with murderous intent as they looked toward the source of the sound.
"It's the Xia Family!"
"That's Xia Linglong. How dare she step out of the Xia Family? Isn't she afraid of dying?"
Are they planning to fight us to the death here?
Several Gluttony Valley Elder recognized Xia Linglong and Xia Yuanwu, both of whom were pillars of the Xia Family and were actually willing to come out of the Magic Array.
"Now that you're here, you're not leaving!"
King Taisui's eyes revealed a chilling killing intent. He had fought with Xia Linglong and Xia Yuanwu not long ago, but that was outside the gate of the Xia Family's Divine General Residence. He was constantly distracted by the Divine General Residence, worried that other old monsters might come out, so he only tested them and did not dare to fight them all.
Now that he's here, he can act with complete impunity.
They don't really think I'm just at the Unique Skill Realm, do they...? A cruel smile appeared on King Taisui's lips as he soared into the sky, leading four elders as they flew towards Li Hao.
"This young man?"
At the same time, they also noticed Li Hao, who seemed to be the one who had shouted so boldly earlier.
The Gluttony Valley Elder weren't stupid; they immediately recalled the Intelligence about the Bird Demon from the Tianji Hall... Was this the General Haotian from Liang Prefecture?
They were startled. The general's reputation was no less than that of the older generation of the Xia Family. He was able to rival those at the Unique Skill Realm and defeat Lu Yuan, the Grand Elder of the Dragon Gate, which was enough to show that his strength was terrifying and he should not be regarded as a junior.
"They're here!"
In mid-air, as the Demon King Taisui Wang, flew over, Xia Linglong and Xia Yuanwu also saw them, and their expressions both turned serious.
The Grand Elder of Gluttony Valley was a master of the Unique Skill Realm, and the Gluttony Valley Master, King Taisui, was also a top master of the Unique Skill Realm. They had joined forces to attack the opponent outside the Divine General Residence, but they hadn't caused much damage at all. The opponent's flesh and blood were condensed to the extreme, comparable to Eight-Forged Divine Weapon, which was extremely terrifying.
Only the Nine Forged Divine Weapon can inflict some damage on it, but even that is very limited.
After all, it's not an easy task for Nine Forged Divine Weapon to cut through Eight-Forged Divine Weapon.
"Careful..."
Xia Linglong quickly transmitted her voice to Li Hao, "The Gluttony Valley Master's physical body is extremely tough. We can only deal with the others first, and then join forces to kill him last."
"You're the Human Race boy that even the Candlelight God couldn't kill?"
The King Taisui also turned his gaze to Li Hao, his eyes narrowed, and his killing intent became even more intense.
Li Hao was somewhat surprised that the other party didn't recognize the Candlelight God he was sitting on. It seemed that the reclusion of the Great Void Realm was a bit too extreme.
"Is Gluttony Valley the only place here?"
Li Hao asked.
"What do you think? We, the Gluttony Valley, are not those useless trash from the Great Void Realm," a Gluttony Valley Elder said with a ferocious expression.
"Answer whatever I ask."
Li Hao, too lazy to waste words, decided to make an example of someone first, unleashing his Dao Domain like a sharp sword.
With a loud bang, the Gluttony Valley Elder, whose face had just been contorted in a ferocious expression, suddenly exploded, his body crushed and torn apart.
Its Divine Soul burst forth from the mangled flesh, its expression already horrified, but before it could struggle to escape, the ensuing force covered it and obliterated it.
All of this happened while Li Hao was speaking. The sudden and shocking change was so fast that no one had time to react.
Not only King Taisui and his group, but Xia Linglong and Xia Yuanwu also didn't react until the Demon King's Divine Soul was erased without him even letting out a scream. Only then did they realize what had happened and looked at Li Hao beside them in horror.
At this moment, the only person here who can do this is Li Hao.
"This..."
The King Taisui and the remaining three Gluttony Valley Elders were also stunned. Their previously cold expressions were now filled with terror. They couldn't see through Li Hao's attack methods at all.
"You... you're from the Great Peace Dao Realm?!"
King Taisui sensed traces of the Dao Domain before him, but he found it hard to believe. His once imposing body now seemed to have shrunk, and his imposing presence had vanished. He stared at Li Hao with a look of horror.
Instantaneous Dao Domain?
This is not something that Half-Step Dao Domain can compare to; this is the true Great Peace Dao Realm!
Upon hearing King Taisui's words, Xia Linglong and her companion, along with the three Gluttony Valley Elders, were all shocked, as if their eardrums were ringing, and stared blankly at Li Hao.
The Great Peace Dao Realm is extremely rare, with only a handful of individuals in the entire Great Yu Dynasty. And now, this young man before us is...?
"You do have some sense."
Li Hao glanced at the burly man and said, "You must be the Gluttony Valley Master. What was the purpose of attacking You Province? Did you plan it? And how much do you know about the previous attack on Liang Prefecture? You Demon intend to break with the Great Yu Dynasty. Who gave you the courage? Who is backing you up?"
He bombarded him with questions in one breath, and only after he finished did he calmly stare at him and say, "You'd better not ramble on and answer all my questions, one by one, and I'll give you a quick death."
Quiet.
The air fell into complete silence.
Everyone looked at the young man, whose calm and composed face revealed a hint of impatience.
Facing the King Taisui and the elders of the Gluttony Valley, this young man seemed to regard them as fish on a chopping board, ready to be slaughtered at will!
Xia Linglong and Xia Yuanwu were both stunned. They had thought it would be a fierce battle, but they hadn't expected it to turn out like this.
Only then did they understand why Li Hao had said it was something he would take care of incidentally.
The Great Peace Dao Realm is second only to that True Person. In front of the Great Peace Dao Realm, the Gluttony Valley is as weak as an infant and utterly vulnerable!
No wonder Li Hao directly summoned the Gluttony Valley Master, no wonder he could act so recklessly—it turns out it was all because he was too overwhelmingly powerful!
Bang!
Suddenly, another elder of Gluttony Valley exploded. His Divine Soul had just burst out when he screamed for mercy, but in the blink of an eye, it was extinguished like ashes.
It's as if an invisible finger is gently lifting and kneading it, like ashes dissipating from the fingertip.
The sudden attack caused the remaining two Gluttony Valley Elders to kneel down in Void before Li Hao with a thud. They trembled violently and even lost control of their bladders, their bile almost seeping out as they shook.
"General, spare my life! General, spare my life..."
"We are willing to be your mount, to serve you like an ox or a horse..."
They kept kowtowing and begging, showing no trace of their previous ferocious and brutal demeanor.
"Looks like someone's going to fight you for carrying me," Li Hao said to the Candlelight God beneath him.
The Blazing Flame around the Candlelight God suddenly surged, his eyes turning cold. "Then can I eat them?"
"Can."
Li Hao readily agreed.
The Dao Domain of the Candlelight God suddenly expanded, engulfing everything in Blazing Flame.
The two Gluttony Valley Elder dared not evade, but pleaded even more desperately.
The Dao Domain mercilessly enveloped them, and the intense burning rules covered them, instantly igniting the bodies of the two Gluttony Valley Elders.
"You, you are the Candlelight God?!"
The King Taisui, who had just come to his senses, changed his expression again and finally recognized that the Fire Lion- like Demon was actually the ruler of the Great Void Realm!
He felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and stared at the other person in disbelief.
Although he looked down on the Candlelight God, the other party was, after all, a ruler of the Great Void Realm, who had cultivated for ten thousand years. Where was the pride of Demon King?
It's been trained into a mount!
Hearing the trembling voice of the King Taisui, Xia Linglong and Xia Yuanwu were also stunned, looking in horror at the figure beneath Li Hao. Was this Demon the ruler of the Great Void Realm?
They were dumbfounded, and suddenly realized why Li Hao had appeared in You Province and why there had been no movement in the Mo River in Liang Prefecture. It wasn't that their Xia Family's Intelligence was faulty, but that Li Hao had subdued the Candlelight God in the Mo River!
This is Great Demon King at the Half-Step Dao Realm, yet he willingly condescended to be a mount. This is even more difficult than killing him!
Xia Linglong looked at Li Hao and suddenly felt that the meal she had eaten earlier had been a waste. The little sense of familiarity she had just established had vanished. She felt that this young man was so unfamiliar, and she didn't know him at all.
"Hurry up, don't waste my time."
Li Hao frowned and urged King Taisui.
The King Taisui realized what was happening, and his face turned grim. Despair filled his eyes as he knew he was unlikely to escape today.
He had already used up his Fate-Reversal Opportunity; he had no second chance and was likely to perish here.
"Okay, I'll talk, I'll talk..."
The King Taisui's face was ashen, and he bowed his head, saying, "No wonder the Candlelight God failed. It's a pity I didn't notice Prodigy like you sooner, but today..."
Whispers this, he suddenly looked up, his face contorted in a ferocious roar, "Even if you kill me, you will still die!!"
As he Whispers, his Dao Domain had already quietly unfolded, suddenly sweeping out and enveloping his body, then sweeping across and attacking Xia Linglong and Xia Yuanwu, intending to take them down with him.
"Dao Domain!"
Xia Linglong and Xia Yuanwu were startled, never expecting that the Gluttony Valley Master was also at the Half-Step Dao Domain.
Seeing the Dao Domain rapidly expanding, the two hurriedly unleashed their Unyielding Power, trying to create distance. However, the next moment, the Dao Domain dissipated like ice and snow, continuously melting, and then shrank back at an extremely fast speed, being forcibly pressed back into the body of the King Taisui, unable to spill out even a fraction.
"Half-Step Dao Domain dares to act so arrogantly?"
Li Hao raised an eyebrow. "There are many ways to die, do you really have to choose the most painful one?"
The roar on King Taisui's face had died down, and he was stunned.
He anticipated that he would have difficulty escaping from Li Hao's true Great Peace Dao Realm, and with the addition of Candlelight God, he would most likely perish in a two-on-one fight. However, he did not expect the gap between them to be so large that it exceeded his imagination and understanding.
His own Dao Domain was forced back, unable to be released even slightly!
How is this any different from abolishing the Dao Domain?
"You, you..."
The King Taisui stared at the young man as if he were a ghost; at this moment, the young man Ru Meng in his eyes.
"Fine, just die."
Seeing that he had no intention of speaking, Li Hao completely lost his patience. He suppressed the Tai Sui King with his Dao Domain, and with a bang, the King Taisui's physical body exploded.
His physical body, forged into eight layers, offered no resistance to his Dao Domain; he only used one layer.
Facing a Half-Step Dao Domain, there's no need to use two layers of Dao Domain.
The Divine Soul of the King Taisui burst out of his physical body and stood blankly in the air, not running away, as if he had realized that any struggle he made was in vain.
Only by coming into contact with the Dao Domain can one realize how terrifying it is.
Li Hao didn't completely erase it, but rather erased most of its Divine Soul, leaving only a very small part, which he handed to Xia Linglong, saying:
"Senior Xia Linglong, I'll leave the interrogation to you. I'm going to Qing Prefecture now, and I'll come back to find you when I return."
As the leader of a top Demon force, he must be involved in this grand scheme. Li Hao had no intention of killing him so easily, letting him off easy.
Xia Linglong received the remnant Divine Soul of the King Taisui, feeling a sense of being flattered. She paused for a moment, then immediately nodded. "I will, don't worry!"
She swiftly unleashed her power, suppressing and sealing the Divine Soul of the King Taisui.
"General Haotian, you must be careful on your journey to Qing Prefecture. Once my Xia Family quells the rebellion in You Province, we will immediately go to reinforce you," Xia Yuanwu hurriedly said, speaking quickly so as not to delay Li Hao's journey.
Li Hao nodded.
He then raised his hand and made a gesture. In an instant, the Heaven and Earth Meridian extended out, and the endless power of the four directions of Heaven and Earth gathered at the top of his head at his fingertips.
This surging power instantly transformed into endless Sword Qi. Countless sword Sword Light, as if splitting apart, condensed and appeared in the sky above the battlefield, vast and mighty, like sword clouds covering the Heaven and Earth.
Such overwhelming momentum and power made Xia Linglong and Xia Yuanwu stare intently. Although they could also gather such offensive power, the range was far greater and the momentum far more terrifying.
The boy before them seemed capable of releasing it with a mere wave of his hand.
"Kill."
Li Hao uttered a single word, and countless Sword Qi instantly rained down like raindrops, accompanied by howling winds and thunder, descending upon the Demon Tide.
Those Demon who were still rushing to the battlefield were immediately covered by the vast rain of swords falling from the sky. Every Sword Qi that fell killed a Demon instantly, without exception.
Even Demon at the Heaven and Man Realm is no match for a single Sword Qi.
Only Demon at the Three Immortalities Realm could barely withstand the onslaught, but under the continuous bombardment of Sword Qi, they were instantly covered in wounds. After enduring hundreds or thousands of Sword Qi, they inevitably triggered that 1% fatal attack and died instantly.
The Sword Qi energy was so vast and numerous that it almost obscured the entire battlefield.
What's most terrifying is that these Sword Qi can be controlled with precision. Under Li Hao's command, they traverse the defensive line where the Xia Family Soldiers are fighting, and in the chaotic battle, they accurately reap the lives of Demon one by one.
In an instant, everyone along the entire defensive line, stretching for hundreds of miles, witnessed the overwhelming rain of falling swords.
The sky seemed to have collapsed into a whirlpool, from which countless raindrops poured out.
The dust and smoke obscured most of the battlefield.
With Flying Section's attack range doubled due to his attribute, this rain of swords easily covered an area of over two hundred miles.
With each sweep, countless Demon perished.
Xia Linglong and Xia Yuanwu stood beside Li Hao, both too shocked to speak.
Even without the King Taisui, the Grand Elder of Gluttony Valley, and the remaining elders, it would still take them considerable effort and time to completely eliminate these Demons.
But at this moment, under the rain of swords from Li Hao's fingertips, the roars from the ground were gradually and completely drowned out in just a few moments...
