Defeating Chiguang with One Sword

"If these two were to clash, we might be able to glean some insights."

The Bright Moon Saint Child's eyes were cold and indifferent, paying no attention to anyone else, but he was particularly bothered by Li Hao's sword strike.

If it weren't for his Master's comforting words afterward, his Dao Heart would have almost developed a crack.

Besides these Saint Child, many elders from powerful forces also came to watch the battle.

They had no chance to watch the selection battles of those Sacred Land, so the clashes Rogue Person of these Ten Kings became a grand event in the Azure Wave Realm.

Azure Sea Great Emperor also came to watch the battle in person, sitting on a cloud chariot, keeping a low profile.

"I heard from Qin Shuang that Qing Feng joined the Flower Wandering Society. Qin Shuang was the matchmaker, and the child became a butterfly in the Flower Wandering Society. That's quite promising."

The Azure Sea Great Emperor chuckled softly to the Ornate Beauty beside him, his aged hand gently caressing her jade-like, alabaster-white hand.

This beautiful woman was one of the most favored among the Consort, and her daughter was Gui Qinshuang, thus the mother gained status through her daughter.

"Qin Shuang is also working for His Majesty. The child was thinking of you yesterday, saying that the camellias are blooming in March and she wanted to send you some."

The Ornate Beauty spoke with a gentle and graceful demeanor.

The Azure Sea Great Emperor nodded slightly, "It's been a long time since I've seen this child. Have her come to see me when you have time."

The Ornate Beauty smiled faintly, then looked towards the Battle Stage and asked, "If the Red Light Elder and the Qing Feng Elder were to fight, it would surely be a fierce battle. I hope they don't become enemies over it."

Azure Sea Great Emperor stared at the Battle Stage, a hint of worry in his eyes.

As more and more people gathered, the Top Ten Battle officially began.

After the rules were announced, random pairings were made, and the competition among the Heavenly Prodigy took place under the joint witness of ten Half-Saint sent by the ten Divine Dynasty.

The scene was grand and bustling, but Li Hao sat in the waiting area with a calm and composed mind, feeling a sense of tranquility amidst the excitement.

For him, this battle was just a formality; the ranking was irrelevant. What followed was the clash with the Three Great Sacred Lands, vying for the Azure Wave Realm's spot in the battle, which was of paramount importance. This was merely a warm-up.

Soon, the results of Li Hao's match were announced.

Li Hao looked over and was somewhat surprised to see that it was the Yun Chang Woman he had seen in the Imperial Hall before; her name was Su Yun.

Su Yun also noticed that her first opponent was none other than Li Hao. Her expression changed slightly. She still vividly remembered that Li Hao had received Incense from ten cities in the Imperial Hall. Afterwards, she observed Li Hao and learned that his Swordsmanship Entering the Dao the Dao, so she knew that she was no match for him.

As the other matches concluded, Li Hao and Su Yun faced off in the third round.

On the Battle Stage, Su Yun gazed at Li Hao as he approached and said, "I've heard your Swordsmanship Entering the Dao, but I'd like to learn from you."

"Okay." Li Hao nodded.

Su Yun's expression turned serious. Once the Magic Array was formed, she immediately unleashed the Four Extremes Realm, and then suddenly waved out a Cloud Sleeve.

Those Cloud Sleeve, like whips, represent some supreme treasure; the cloud shadows fluttering from those Cloud Sleeve also signify some kind of Divine Ability.

Li Hao felt as if the area around the Battle Stage had turned into Cloudmist, but these Cloudmist carried a corrosive power that seemed to be corroding his body.

However, his physique had already been cultivated to its Terminal Realm, reaching the limit of limits. The Cloudmist were blocked on his body and could not harm him in the slightest.

Seeing that her Divine Ability had failed, Su Yun's pupils contracted slightly. She could feel that when her Divine Ability power was applied to Li Hao's body, it was as if it were covering a Vajra Divine Stone, and it could not be shaken at all.

"How is this possible?"

Su Yun was somewhat dazed, her Divine Ability failing her—this was the first time she had ever seen such a situation, especially since it was her ultimate move.

Li Hao didn't delay. He raised his hand, picked up a Cloudmist, condensed his Primordial Spirit power on it, and transformed it into Cloudmist Sword Qi, which he then casually slashed out.

The Supreme Gentle Sword Dao, used Cloudmist as its guide, traversing the Dao Domain of Su Yun in an instant. It swept past her hair near her ear, severing dozens of strands of her hair, which then gently drifted down to her shoulder.

Su Yun was stunned. Although her Dao Domain had not been expanded to its limit, it had not been able to provide any resistance. This Sword Qi Entering the Dao and had already surpassed the suppression of the Principle within the Dao Domain.

Unless she has a large enough Dao Domain, she simply cannot withstand it.

Su Yun's expression shifted, a hint of struggle flashing in her eyes, but ultimately she succumbed to despair and whispered, "I lost."

She had considered the possibility of losing, but she hadn't expected it to be so easy.

Li Hao bowed slightly, then turned and stepped off the stage, as if he had come up to wander around for a bit.

The cheers from the audience had barely begun when the battle ended. Many were stunned and shocked. Su Yun's previous battles with others had been extremely intense. Her Cloudmist Divine Ability had left her opponents feeling like they were dying and in agony, finding it very difficult to deal with. Unexpectedly, in front of Li Hao, her Divine Ability seemed to have no effect before she was defeated.

"That sword of Qing Feng's is so powerful!"

"I noticed him during the battle with ten thousand men; it seemed like all his battles were resolved with a single Sword Qi."

"What terrifying Sword Dao! Could he be from the Sword Ancestor Sacred Land?"

"How could that be? Although everyone in the Sword Ancestor Sacred Land uses swords, not everyone in the All Under Heaven who uses a sword is from the Sword Ancestor Sacred Land. I also use a sword, does that mean I am one of them?"

"Forget it, they wouldn't even look at your Sword Dao."

"Your mom..."

There was much discussion among the crowd, but a few people present, such as Li Qingyi, had serious expressions.

Although Li Hao still only used Sword Dao to resolve this battle, they didn't force Li Hao to use his Sword Dao techniques, clearly indicating that he was holding back a lot of power. In addition, they also noticed something: the Cloudmist Divine Ability seemed to have a great impact on the physical body, but Li Hao was able to withstand it, which shows that Li Hao's physique is also extremely strong.

"The physique of someone at the Power Circulation Extreme Realm is in Divine Power State, but he doesn't seem to have entered that Divine Power State. Could it be that his Divine Ability hasn't taken effect yet?"

Some people were puzzled, but after thinking about it, they felt that this was the only possible explanation.

Other Warrior may have different physical strengths, but the physical strengths of the Heavenly Prodigy are basically similar, all at the Power Circulation Extreme Realm.

Although there are differences even among those at the Power Circulation Extreme Realm, they are not significant. Moreover, there are too many things for Heavenly Prodigy to cultivate. Putting aside realms for now, techniques Divine Ability, and other Extreme Realm are more worthy of in-depth study.

"Too weak."

The Bright Moon Saint Child's eyes were cold. Although the Yun Chang Woman had the combat power of Saintess, she was far inferior to Li Hao. Even he could easily defeat her.

In the crowd, Lin Qingying saw that Li Hao was still using the Supreme Gentle Sword Dao Sword Dao before, and her eyes lit up. At the same time, she also gained some insights.

Li Hao had previously guided her in the Sword Dao, but comprehending it is another matter entirely. Unless one has a sudden enlightenment, it cannot be understood overnight. Otherwise, if Sage were to teach a disciple, he could graduate in a single day.

After his battle with Su Yun, Li Hao successfully advanced and now awaits his next opponent.

Su Yun, on the other hand, entered the Losers Group and continued to fight, eventually emerging victorious after a fierce battle.

While watching the battle, Li Hao was also secretly absorbing the Cultivation Method of these Heavenly Prodigy, and at the same time, he took out his Drawing Board, ground ink, and started painting.

His actions shocked many, who wondered how the other party could still find the leisure to paint during such a tense and fierce exchange.

Is this deliberate showing off, or just overconfidence?

But when countless Divine Sense converged and saw Li Hao's painting clearly, they were all speechless. The figure in the painting was so vivid and lifelike, as if it were making a move right before their eyes, containing a fierce offensive, and was by no means a simple show.

"This Qing Feng, Young Master's Painting Skill are absolutely superb!"

"Is this what a peerless Heavenly Prodigy is like? Besides Martial Dao, his other skills are also beyond the reach of ordinary people."

"With this level of skill, he could easily become the chief painter in the Divine Dynasty."

Many people whispered among themselves, but Li Hao remained unaffected by the whispers, his State of Mind at Carefree State casually painted.

As the Painting Dao experience points are updated one by one, the experience bar gradually increases...

Not long after, it was Li Hao's turn to appear again. He put his paintbrush down on the inkstone, then stood up and teleported to the Battle Stage in an instant.

This time, his opponent was a young man from the Winners Group. The opponent also noticed Li Hao painting in the audience. His eyes were serious. Among the Top Ten opponents, besides Red Light, Li Hao was also a formidable figure, giving people the feeling that he was hiding his true strength.

The Sword Dao he displayed alone was already extremely terrifying; no one knew what other tricks Qing Feng might have up his sleeve.

You seem confident you'll win.

The young man stared at Li Hao and said.

Li Hao was taken aback, then shook his head. "Winning or losing here is just a formality, it doesn't matter."

The young man raised an eyebrow and immediately understood Li Hao's meaning: his goal was to secure a spot in the Azure Wave Realm's competition, and he didn't even consider the current battle a threat.

But wasn't that the same feeling in his heart?

As Heavenly Prodigy, who doesn't have that arrogant air of Emptiness Gaze?

"I'd really like to see your clash with Red Light, to see what cards you both have up your sleeves."

The young man narrowed his eyes and said, "If you run into me, you might have to reveal something a little beforehand."

As he spoke, the Magic Array solidified, and he suddenly erupted, directly summoning the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form. Immediately, the blade in his hand ignited with raging black Blazing Flame and slashed fiercely at Li Hao.

His Dharma Form also conjured a blade in its hand, which slashed down alongside him. The space seemed to crack slightly, and the Knife Intent contained within was extremely strong, as if it could split the earth.

Li Hao sensed the immense power and might. His Heaven and Earth Meridian circulated slightly and appeared behind him. In an instant, he drew upon the vast Heaven and Earth Power, which he then transformed into a Sword Qi in his hand and casually slashed out.

The Supreme Gentleness can overcome the hardest; the Sword Qi, like a soft thread, quickly adheres to the opponent's blade and penetrates into the Dharma Form.

With a loud bang, the Dharma Form shattered, and the Sword Qi grazed the opponent's neck, leaving a bloody mark.

Li Hao withdrew his hand, and the spiderweb-like Heaven and Earth Meridian behind him also concealed themselves.

The young man standing inside the Dharma Form froze, then turned pale and looked rather unwell.

He wanted to force Li Hao to reveal some of his true abilities, but the Sword Dao was far more terrifying than he had imagined. Li Hao did indeed display the Heaven and Earth Meridian that he hadn't shown in the previous battle, but he only activated them slightly and gathered some power, which was hardly a trump card.

After the young man conceded defeat, Li Hao cupped his hands in greeting and turned to leave the stage.

When he returned to his spot, he saw that the brush tip on the inkstone was about to fall, so he quickly picked it up, turned it around in the inkstone to adjust the brush tip, and then started painting again.

The action was executed so smoothly that many people whose eyes had been following Li Hao were left speechless.

Compared to the battle, the opponent seemed more interested in his painting.

"Another one-sword strike ended it all. Who can force him to use a second strike?"

"He's too strong. I reckon only the Red Light can suppress him."

"I never imagined that such Prodigy could emerge from among Rogue Person. My Master said that cultivation depends on the individual; if one's talent is mediocre, even Sage Entry might not guarantee a great future. Now I believe that!"

"Judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem to have warmed up yet; that's a bit of an exaggeration."

There was a lot of discussion among the audience.

Seeing Li Hao's focused expression, Lin Qingying was reminded of the Small Courtyard where he Sculpting and painted every day. A smile involuntarily appeared on her beautiful and aloof face, like a flower blooming on Snow Mountain, giving her a stunning feeling.

She knew that Li Hao wasn't pretending to be relaxed; he genuinely enjoyed these things.

Others might not understand, but she had seen it all and knew Li Hao's personality.

His behavior really reminded me of an old friend of mine.

Not far away, Bian Ruxue said softly.

As Saintess from the same Sword Ancestor Sacred Land, they stood relatively close together when they came to watch the battle.

Lin Qingying was somewhat surprised and looked at her, saying, "What?"

Bian Ruxue's eyes flashed with distant thoughts as she whispered, "Back in my childhood, there was also a Heavenly Prodigy who loved painting Chess all day long, but had no interest in Martial Dao. However, his Martial Dao talent was extremely terrifying, even comparable to the Saint Child of the Sacred Land. It's just a pity that he was too playful."

Lin Qingying was slightly taken aback. She knew Bian Ruxue came from the Mortal World. Could there really be such Prodigy in the Mortal World?

"This can't really be considered playing around."

Lin Qingying said, "He's just doing what he likes. Isn't what we pursue in cultivation precisely to be free and unrestrained, Carefree State our own desires? He's already achieved that Carefree State."

At this point, she looked at Li Hao, her eyes filled with envy.

Bian Ruxue looked at her and said, "Isn't what you're pursuing: Sword Dao saint?"

"Yes and no." Lin Qingying's gaze fell upon the figure painting, and she said with a focused expression, "If one has someone to accompany them, the Sword Dao is not necessarily essential. After all, what we seek Carefree State achieve sainthood is nothing more than freedom and ease."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Bian Ruxue's eyes. She withdrew her gaze and said indifferently, "I'm different from you. I want to see the highest view, even if I die, I'll have no regrets!"

Lin Qingying glanced at her, sensing the other's coldness and apparent disdain for her words. Unperturbed, she smiled calmly and said:

"Perhaps the most beautiful scenery is right at the foot of the mountain. Standing high only allows you to see further, but the real beauty isn't at the Mountain Summit."

"How could you know if you haven't seen it? With your temperament, without his guidance, you'll find it difficult to achieve great things in Sword Dao."

Bian Ruxue said she no longer wanted to talk about it.

Lin Qingying smiled and said, "But it is because of my temperament that I was able to receive his guidance. This is my luck. My Master said that luck is also a part of strength. Heavenly Prodigy have the luck of the Heavenly Dao, so it can be seen that my luck is not bad."

Bian Ruxue frowned. She had heard her master, the Master Sword Saint, say the same thing, and there was no way to refute it.

"You said your old friend in the Mortal World was like that too. What happened to him later? Could he have been Qing Feng?"

Lin Qingying's eyes darted around, and she asked with great interest.

She found it hard to imagine that there could be another person like Qing Feng in the world.

Bian Ruxue's thoughts drifted, but she quickly regained her composure and shook her head, saying, "I was brought here by my Master and no longer understand the affairs of the Mortal World. He couldn't possibly be Qing Feng; their Aura are completely different, and this cannot be hidden or changed."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingying stopped thinking about it, glanced at Li Hao, and whispered:

Don't you envy him?

Envy? Bian Ruxue stared at her in astonishment, but when she saw the hint of tenderness in her eyes, she seemed to understand something. Her eyes grew even colder, and she said:

"Your Sword Dao won't go far."

After saying that, he didn't intend to communicate any further.

Lin Qingying saw through her thoughts, smiled calmly, and neither got angry nor paid any more attention to her, knowing that they had different personalities and were not on the same path.

As the fierce battles on the Battle Stage progressed, apart from Li Hao and Red Light, everyone else also displayed remarkable strength. The Top Ten Battle gradually came to an end. The clash between Li Hao and Red Light, which many people were looking forward to, did not happen as expected. They finally met when both of them advanced to the final round.

"I thought we'd get to see a good show early on, but it turns out they didn't meet until the final battle."

"This seems like Destiny showdown!"

"Which is Divine Ability, supernatural power or Sword Dao? The contest between Divine Ability and Sword Dao at the Entering the Dao level has been a subject of countless debates since ancient times. This battle should have a result by now."

Many people in the audience looked on with eager anticipation; the final battle had finally arrived.

Li Hao finished painting the portraits of the nine Heavenly Prodigy. Now that the finals were approaching, he put away his Drawing Board and brushes.

Many people felt that Li Hao was getting serious about this.

Red Light was the first to stand on the Battle Stage. When he saw Li Hao put away his Drawing Board, a smile appeared on his lips. Li Hao seemed to be thinking about his paintings when he was fighting others, but he started to take it seriously when he was with him.

However, whether he can force out some of his own abilities depends on his skill... His Red Light eyes flashed, his gaze swept across the audience, lingering on the figures of several Kasaya men in cassocks for a moment before he looked away.

At this moment, Li Hao also stepped onto the Battle Stage.

Having drawn them all before, Li Hao had already realized that this Red Light was at a level that was completely outclassed by anyone else in the Top Ten, except for himself.

Others have at most 22,000 painting experience points, while Red Light has 35,000 – that's a huge difference.

Keep in mind that the difference between Half-Saint and Red Light is only a little over 10,000 experience points.

The difference of 10,000 painting experience points translates to utter domination in combat!

This shows how big the gap is between the Sword Master's initial 370,000 experience points and that of Half-Saint!

"As I predicted, this final battle will be between us."

Once the Magic Array was formed, Red Light did not rush to make a move, but calmly said...

Li Hao nodded. "Thank you for the concession."

Seeing that Li Hao had no interest in saying more, Red Light raised an eyebrow. He originally felt a sense of mutual respect for Prodigy like Li Hao, but the other party didn't seem to have that feeling of closeness.

Although he previously looked down on Li Hao for focusing his attention elsewhere, after this round of competition, he felt that apart from a few individuals in the Sacred Land, only Li Hao could barely keep up with his pace.

His true rivals are destined to be in the many other worlds that represent the Azure Wave Realm in battle.

"I noticed you haven't used your sword before. Are you still not planning to use it this time?"

Red Light stared at Li Hao and said.

Li Hao nodded upon hearing his reminder and retrieved the Pitch-Black Merit and Fame from the Heaven and Earth Space.

This sword is completely black and lusterless, seemingly capable of devouring everything.

Red Light smiled calmly, then Blazing Flame erupted all over his body as he said, "Let's see if your sword can cut through my fire!"

As he spoke, he suddenly made his move, revealing his Extreme Realm. He gathered power from the Heaven and Earth Meridian, pushing his aura to its peak, and then waved his hand to unleash his Fire-Type Divine Ability.

"It's coming!"

Below the stage, many of the Heavenly Prodigy who had previously been defeated by Red Light narrowed their eyes.

That Fire-Type Divine Ability was extremely terrifying; it was guaranteed to hit, and there was no way to dodge it—one could only endure it.

It's unknown whether Li Hao's Sword Dao will still be affected by the scorching Fire-Type Divine Ability.

At the same time, the instant the Red Light made its move, Li Hao felt a surge of Anger rising in his heart. The Anger burned like flames, igniting his emotions and even causing his blood to boil and Violence.

But soon, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and a surge of Sword Intent suddenly arose from his heart.

Cut!

My Sole Self Sword Dao; it extinguishes the fire within my heart!

The burning Anger subsided instantly, and Li Hao's heart returned to the calm and still state he had been when he stepped onto the stage.

He raised his hand and swung his sword.

Suddenly, a dazzling sun and moon Sword Light appeared on the dark surface of the Merit and Fame, like a radiant God Sun, brilliant and intense, illuminating the entire Battle Stage.

With a single swing of the sword, the God Sun seemed to explode, transforming into a rolling wave of heat that pressed Past upon the Red Light!

"My Sword Dao..."

The Bright Moon Saint Child was startled, then his pupils contracted, and his eyes revealed horror.

His own Sword Intent was actually unleashed by the opponent, and not just Sword Intent, but the Sword Dao!

The vast and surging sun and moon were even more terrifying and more exquisite than what he had displayed!

His Sword Dao, which he had painstakingly cultivated for many years, had actually been seen through and surpassed by his opponent!

The Bright Moon Saint Child's expression shifted in shock and anger, turning pale. His previously stable Dao Heart was now cracking inch by inch, giving him a feeling of his cognition collapsing.

Seeing the flames in Li Hao's eyes disappear, Red Light Guang's previously calm expression froze. His pupils contracted slightly, somewhat surprised. His Fire-Type Divine Ability had actually been extinguished?

He couldn't discern what method Li Hao was using, but the overwhelming Sword Light was already engulfing him.

The Sword Qi contained the power of Heaven and Earth, and countless lights and shadows seemed to intertwine in the sun and moon, using the sun and moon to illuminate Heaven and Earth, and Heaven and Earth to suppress All Things.

His entire body felt as if a hundred thousand mountains were stacked upon it, so heavy that his knees ached and were tearing. Yet, his eyes suddenly burst forth with a blazing Divine Radiance. Was this his opponent's strongest Swordsmanship?

Bang bang bang!

The Sun and Moon Sword Dao pressed down like Xingchen, causing the entire Battle Stage to cave in and crack. Yet, Red Light stood amidst it all, his body enveloped in Blazing Flame. His eyes shone with brilliant divine Divine Radiance, while a smile appeared on his lips.

Bang!

The Sword Momentum unleashed by the God Sun sent his body flying backward, crashing into the Magic Array.

The Magic Array trembled, and Red Light's body fell, cracked all over; this sword strike had severely injured him.

He got up from the ground, his blood surging, but he tried hard to control himself and didn't use his true strength.

Flame Domain formed around his body, with forty layers of Dao Domain stacked upon each other, barely managing to neutralize Li Hao's sword strike.

Nevertheless, his body was scorched by the sun and moon, and covered with cracks.

Outside the arena, everyone was shocked. They never expected that Li Hao's sword would unleash such unprecedented power in the face of the powerful Red Light.

Li Hao had previously used the Sun and Moon Sword Dao, but he clearly hadn't used his full strength and easily won.

Now, they truly witnessed the terrifying power of this Sword Dao.

The sun and moon, carrying the weight of Heaven and Earth, descended, seemingly intent on flattening the entire Dao Sacrifice Mountain.

"Is this Qing Feng's sword? What terrifying Sword Dao!"

Countless people were shocked and discussed the matter, all horrified, never expecting the other party's hidden methods to be so terrifying.

Among the crowd, many of the Saint Child and Saint Daughter of the Sword Ancestor Sacred Land were completely mesmerized.

They all recognized that this was not Qing Feng's own Sword Dao, but the Sword Dao of the Bright Moon Saint Child!

Furthermore, the Bright Moon Saint Child only Sword Intent, while Li Hao was currently unleashing the Sun and Moon Sword Dao!

Its aura is even more terrifying, more perfect; this is the true Sun Moon Divine Sword!

The Bright Moon Saint Child was pale. The fact that the young man was using someone else's sword instead of his own suggested something else terrifying.

That is Li Hao's own Sword Dao, which is even more terrifying!

After all, his own Sword Dao, honed through arduous Sword Dao, was far superior to that of others. Li Hao had only clashed with him briefly, and even though he had been secretly observing and watching him ever since arriving at the Sword Ancestor Sacred Land, it had only been a little over a year. To have mastered the Sun and Moon Sword Dao in such a short time was astonishing in terms of comprehension.

If he were to unleash his own Sword Dao, it would be even more terrifying.

Suddenly, the Bright Moon Saint Child realized that the Sword Dao Li Hao used to defeat him earlier seemed very similar to Lin Qingying's; it was the other party's sword!

Thinking of this, his expression turned even more unpleasant.

What exactly is Li Hao's own Sword Dao?

Could it be that he, like his Sword Saint Master, uses all living beings as his sword, Sentient Sword Dao becomes his own sword?

Thinking of this, he felt his heart clench violently. He used the sun and moon as his Sword Dao, intending to illuminate Heavenly Realms and follow the same path as his Master. When he illuminates Heavenly Realms, he will naturally illuminate all living beings as well. All living beings will also be under the light of the sun and moon. If he mastered his Sword Dao, he would be no less than his Master!

But now, Li Hao is putting his Sword Dao to use here.

If Li Hao's cultivation reaches the Saint Realm, and his power is sufficient, this Sword Dao will unleash an even more terrifying power, truly reflecting the Heaven and Earth, All Things into swords!

Red Light's body swayed precariously, his wounds failing to heal, the Sun Moon Sword Intent shining into his pores still tearing at his flesh.

He stared at Li Hao, his eyes revealing excitement and a smile.

Li Hao held his sword quietly, looking at his opponent. He could sense that his opponent had other skills that he hadn't yet revealed.

"Is this your strongest Sword Dao? I've experienced it firsthand, and it is indeed very powerful!"

The Red Light's voice came, but it was transmitted directly to Li Hao's ears.

Li Hao looked at the other person and saw that although the other person looked miserable, there was a smile in their eyes.

"Unfortunately, I must save my ultimate move for the Buddhist Sect Twins and cannot use it beforehand. I will fight as the number one player in the Azure Wave Realm, so you can have this number one position among the Rogue Person. I will take it back in our next encounter!"

Red Light said, a look of satisfaction in his eyes. Li Hao's sword strike made him feel his blood boiling. This Supreme Heaven Pride Battle made him even more excited. He had already encountered such a character among the Rogue Person. He wondered what kind of intense sparks would fly when he clashed with the Heavenly Realms cultivators later.

Li Hao was taken aback, somewhat surprised. Was the other party planning to give up?

However, he didn't care. If one sword strike wasn't enough, he could try another. If all else failed, he could use his own Sword Dao to quickly resolve the situation.

"If you weren't just playing around, and your Sword Dao were any better, you might actually pose a threat to me."

Red Light transmitted his voice to Li Hao, his words tinged with regret.

Li Hao smiled, put away his dark-colored Merit and Fame, and said, "Then let's have another match next time."

You'll have to try harder next time.

Red Light smiled. Having witnessed Li Hao's strongest Sword Move, he already knew Li Hao's level of strength.

Then, Red Light turned around and admitted defeat to the referee, and did not continue.

Everyone was shocked to hear that Red Light had given up, but they were also relieved.

The power of Li Hao's sword strike was simply too great. Even outside the Magic Array, they felt as if they were suppressed by the Sword Momentum and unable to move.

"The Red Light's Fire-Type Divine Ability was actually blocked by that Qing Feng!"

"To be able to block that kind of Divine Ability, what kind of technique is that?"

"It seems this Qing Feng is even more terrifying than we imagined. Representing our Azure Wave Realm in this battle shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"I thought Red Light would win, but Qing Feng is even more unfathomable. His Sword Dao is terrifying."

Numerous murmurs arose from the audience.

Upon hearing this, the Bright Moon Saint Child's face turned pale and then red. He felt a mixture of sneer and anger. He was sneer at these people's ignorance, completely unaware that Li Hao still had untapped tricks up his sleeve. He was angry because the opponent had displayed such terrifying Sun and Moon Sword Dao, so if he were to make a move later, wouldn't he become a laughingstock?

Suppressing his Anger, his face ashen, he turned and left, a sense of madness rising within him, an unprecedented urge to Perfection his Sword Intent before the next battle.

But rushing the cultivation process is useless; it only makes one more prone to Qi Deviation. He felt more frustrated than anything else.

"Red Light actually lost."

On the cloud-borne carriage, the Ornate Beauty was stunned, somewhat surprised. This Incense Twelve Cities, who was also going to marry a Princess, had actually lost to Qing Feng.

They had underestimated Qing Feng's strength.

Azure Sea Great Emperor's eyes flickered. As Half-Saint, he observed more carefully and realized that Red Light had not revealed his true trump card. He probably intended to save it for later battles. After all, the current competition among Rogue Person was insignificant compared to the number of participants from the Azure Wave Realm.

"That kid Red Light must be taking those Buddhist Sect Twins as his rivals. Those Twins are indeed quite terrifying. Not only are they at the Six Extremes Realm, but they also possess Buddha Heart Devil Appearance —they're simply terrifying. They should be among the top in Heavenly Realms..."

The Azure Sea Great Emperor's eyes flickered. Regardless of the outcome, once this battle was over, he would increase the Incense he made to Qing Feng.

"This is not his Sword Dao!"

Lin Qingying's eyes were filled with excitement. If Li Hao's Sun Moon Divine Sword was so terrifying, then his own Sword Dao must be even stronger.

Bian Ruxue's expression was also extremely serious. No wonder the other party had the leisure to paint; this skill was quite terrifying, far superior to hers.

"How could he know the sword of the Bright Moon Saint Child? Could it be that he also cultivates the Sword Dao of the Sword Saint, whose own Sword Dao can accommodate other Sword Dao?"

The other Saint Child and Saint Daughter were all surprised and had a clearer understanding of Li Hao's strength. In this battle in the Azure Wave Realm, this Qing Feng was probably a hidden dark horse, and he might very well be able to break into the Top Ten of the Supreme Heaven Pride Battle!

It's important to know that those who make it into the Top Ten are all monstrous Prodigy. Now that Sage are reincarnating to cultivate, the intensity of this Supreme Heaven Pride Battle is unprecedented.

"His sword is indeed terrifying..."

Li Qingyi and the others had solemn expressions, all of which showed how terrifying Li Hao's strength was.

"It seems that, apart from Senior Brother Book Sea, no one can rival him."

The young man waving a folding fan had a serious look in his eyes and said in a low voice.

Li Qingyi nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and realized that her previous defeat was not unjust.

At this moment, with Red Light's surrender, the Top Ten Battle also came to an end.

The Half-Saint from the Ten Divine Dynasties stepped forward to reward the ten individuals, thus marking the end of this grand event.

The next clash will be Three Months from now, with the Three Great Sacred Lands vying for control. At that time, the World Stone will reflect the battle, and the entire Azure Wave Realm Earthly Territory will witness this struggle.

Su Yun looked at Li Hao, knowing that Li Hao had held back in the previous battle, as the difference in their strength was simply too great.

Her eyes flickered; she had Three Months left, and she needed to go into Seclusion to cultivate herself.

"The battle Azure Wave Realm will take place in Three Months, and we will also need to Seclusion."

"I never expected there to be such Prodigy among these Rogue Person, and two of them at that. That Red Light is no less impressive."

The many Saint Child and Saint Daughter of the Sword Ancestor Sacred Land had solemn expressions and did not stay any longer, returning to the Sacred Land for Seclusion.

Several Kasaya figures in robes in the crowd murmured a Buddhist chant, their expressions indifferent, before turning and leaving.

Li Qingyi and the young man with the folding fan also felt immense pressure. Apart from Li Hao and Red Light, there were also formidable opponents among the others, and they all needed to prepare seriously for battle.

Although Three Months of training may not necessarily lead to progress, they have gained considerable insights from observing numerous battles and the clashes between Sacred Land. If they can digest and absorb all of this, they will see significant improvement in the short term.

"I should go back to Seclusion."

Lin Qingying glanced at Li Hao, but didn't Past to greet him. She turned and drifted away.

If she can master Swordsmanship when she Entering the Dao from seclusion next time, she might still have a chance to compete; otherwise, she is destined to be just a supporting character.

As the battle ended, many figures left their seats. Red Light glanced at Li Hao, whose injuries were slowly healing. He transmitted his voice:

"Three Months. Keep it up. Your Sword Dao is strong, but it's still a bit lacking."

Li Hao was speechless. This guy talked too much. He suddenly felt that he should have used the Sole Self Sword Dao to cut him in half and let him calm down.

After Red Light finished speaking, he left the Battle Stage. Although he hadn't used his full strength in this battle, he was still somewhat dissatisfied. He hadn't expected that his Fire-Type Divine Ability would be suppressed by Li Hao's Sword Dao. If he could easily win with just his Fire-Type Divine Ability, then he would truly be Perfection.
