Li Hao remained calm, noticing that the Aura of the Twin Buddha Child had indeed changed. Previously, they were both righteous and evil, a fusion of Buddha and demon, but now their Buddha Light had subsided, their demonic nature had become stronger, and there was a hint of madness in them.

It seems to be pushing a certain path to its extreme, breaking the previous balance.

Li Hao noticed this slightly, but didn't pay much attention to it.

Even if the other party inherits the power of the Sacred Dao from their previous life, they are ultimately only at the Dao Law Realm level in terms of cultivation and physique, and can only exert very limited power.

From the Thirty-three Realms of the Heavens, each realm has ten slots. Including Li Hao, a total of 330 people came to participate in the competition. They were all top Heavenly Prodigy selected from millions of people in each realm.

At this time, the waiting area was almost full, consisting of floating Stone Platform platforms that were quite eye-catching.

Along Li Hao's journey, apart from the Twin Buddha Child, many eyes were fixed on him, some subtly observing him, others more openly, even with a hint of provocation.

Li Hao glanced around indifferently and saw some cold eyes. Although they were unfamiliar faces, they seemed to harbor some hostility towards him.

He ignored it; with such a great reputation, trouble was inevitable.

He leaped to a Stone Platform, sat down comfortably, greeted Lin Qingying, Ji Xuanshen, and other acquaintances with his eyes, and then began to survey the place where the battle had taken place.

The summit of Heaven Origin Holy Mountain was extremely vast. Although it was called a peak, it stretched to the horizon. The sky was filled with colorful lights, and the Heaven and Earth Energy was so dense that it resembled viscous seawater. Now, the All Heavens Saints had concealed their Aura and Descent here in their True Form. Their Sacred Dao secretly intersected, creating a fantastical sky scene.

Auspicious phantoms such as dragons and Auspicious Omens evolved and drifted in the Void, while the Great Dao, like drifting Cloudmist, emitted strange colors and floated in the sky.

Among them, some of the invited Sage openly revealed their Aura, surrounded by Dao Resonance. Some resembled golden armor and iron horses, with countless illusory figures surrounding them, while others had a divine ruler above their heads, seemingly capable of measuring Heaven and Earth.

The magnificent sights are breathtaking and exhilarating, giving one a feeling of adrenaline rush.

Li Hao's gaze shifted, noticing that the Buddha Lord had also arrived and had not concealed his Aura, as if he had been invited.

Its location, with the Lotus Pedestal platform shining brightly with golden light, also occupies a place in this extraordinary Heaven and Earth phenomenon.

The Heaven and Earth Treasures awarded by the Champion the Heaven Pride Battle were provided by the Buddhist Sect, which is why they also received an invitation from the Source Ancestor Sacred Land.

Besides, the Void Saint did not conceal his Aura. The strange phenomena around the place where he stood seemed to become ethereal and blurred. Standing between Heaven and Earth, it was as if he was in a Void, incompatible with the world.

When Li Hao looked at them, the Buddha Lord and the Void Saint also looked at Li Hao, but their gazes did not seem to be focused on Li Hao. Instead, they looked towards the waiting area and did not focus on him. However, Li Hao could feel that there was an undisguised Killing Aura in their eyes. Only he could see and feel this killing intent.

Upon seeing the Void Saint, a murderous intent flashed in Li Hao's eyes. He knew that if they weren't inside the Source Ancestor Sacred Land, the other party would have attacked him without any hesitation.

They've become enemies, and there's no room for maneuver left.

Li Hao coldly withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the other Sage.

The most striking figure here is the white-robed old man sitting in the center. His body is majestic, reaching to the heavens like Dharma Form. Although his robe is white, it is as fine as silk, billowing in the wind, giving him a Crane-haired Immortal appearance.

Li Hao knew that this was the Source Ancestor, the oldest Sage in the Lands of the Saints.

Among the Supreme Saint, they all hold extremely high positions.

Not far from him were five or six other Sage, whose auras were far more imposing than those of the other Sage. Li Hao knew that these were the Supreme Saint of the Upper Three Realms Sacred Land.

Besides them, Li Hao also saw a familiar face, who turned out to be the Sword Master.

He didn't conceal his Aura. He sat upright in the Void, surrounded by seemingly endless sword shadows that flickered and shimmered in the Void. His expression was calm, yet he gave off an unapproachable feeling.

When Li Hao looked at him, the Sword Master seemed to be looking at Li Hao as well, and gave him a slight smile.

Li Hao couldn't help but smile and nod at him.

Besides these Sages, there were also many Half-Saint around. Li Hao scanned the area and found that he had circled the innermost part of the battlefield a full circle!

Truly... Half-Saint as dogs.

But Li Hao knew that this was a gathering of Heavenly Realms, and there were probably many more who hadn't come to join the fun yet.

Among these Half-Saint, Li Hao also saw some familiar faces, such as Ancestor Yao and Zhan Tan.

When their eyes met, they both smiled.

Surrounded by Sage and gathered in the center, lay a massive battlefield. Yet, within this battlefield, blizzards and ice raged, and lightning flashed intermittently, making it seem like a dangerous Forbidden Zone.

Soon after, the other participating Saint Child and Saint Daughter arrived one after another.

There were 330 seats, but seven were empty.

Those who did not come, their Master's Sect's Half-Saint went to the Source Ancestor and tremblingly explained the reason.

Some were in Seclusion at a crucial moment, and since they weren't disturbed, even though the Heaven Pride Battle was of utmost importance, it was feared they would struggle to secure Top Ten finish. Therefore, their Master's Sect chose to let them continue their Seclusion to avoid them ending up with nothing.

Others were unable to come due to some kind of "accident".

Li Hao's eyes flickered, indicating that there were also many conflicts among the other Sacred Land besides his.

Where there is fame and fortune, there will be trouble.

Li Hao sighed inwardly; even Sage could not escape this fate.

People vie for fame, but what they seek is nothing more than recognition.

The Grandmaster founded a school of thought, which has been Incense for centuries.

Sage spread their teachings and established doctrines, leaving their names behind for thousands of generations, their influence never ceasing.

However, he seemed to be no exception; he came here for fame, and behind fame lies profit.

As the Divine Sun shone upon the Solar Crown, the Source Ancestor spoke, announcing the official start of the Supreme Heaven Pride Battle.

At this point, the entire Saint Mountain trembled, and the previous discussions and cheers fell silent for a brief moment.

Then, Source Ancestor quietly explained the rules.

First, there are the Top Hundred Seats; then, those who advance to the Top Hundred compete against each other at each level!

The rules for selecting the Top Hundred Seats are extremely simple and straightforward: anyone with confidence can go on stage and accept challenges. If they can defeat three people, or if no one challenges them, they can advance to the Top Hundred!

Each person has only one chance to challenge. If you win the challenge, you take the place of the challenger. If you win against two more, you will advance to the next round!

Such a selection process would undoubtedly be extremely swift, leaving many of the Heavenly Prodigy individuals who came here astonished, and causing a sense of unease in many.

They fought their way through their Small World, defeating powerful enemies to become the top Heavenly Prodigy in their respective Small World, only to be treated as mere grains of sand in this harsh and brutal selection process.

If they fall into the Top Hundred, I'm afraid no one will remember them.

Having traversed countless mountains and rivers and crossed the Void to arrive here, he is merely an insignificant member among the many Heavenly Prodigy.

Compared to the complex expressions of some people, many more had a gleam in their eyes, revealing strong confidence, feeling that this method was excellent and perfectly suited to the wishes of these Heavenly Prodigy.

Let's stop with the nonsense and just get to work. We'll see who's stronger and who's weaker once we've had a proper showdown.

Moreover, it's only among the Top Hundred; if you don't have the ambition to break into the Top Ten, coming here is pointless.

After the Source Ancestor finished explaining the rules, he announced the start of the ceremony, which was presided over by another Sage from the Source Ancestor Sacred Land.

Outside the Battle Stage, a huge Bone Reflection Mirror floated, and those who went on Bone Reflection Mirror had to look in it to avoid being mistaken for others.

Who wants to go first?

The Sage within the Source Ancestor Sacred Land inquired with a smile.

The crowd below the stage began to stir, and many people were unable to contain themselves. But then a figure suddenly flashed and, using the power of the Return to Emptiness Teleportation, arrived directly in front of the Bone Reflection Mirror.

Immediately, his age and lifespan appeared on the Bone Reflection Mirror.

68 years old!

At such an age, he is considered young even among the most Heavenly Prodigy.

Once the Bone Reflection Mirror verification was successful, he stepped directly onto the stage, his posture upright, his face like jade, looking exceptionally handsome.

"Bai Yuan, Name School Sacred Land, beseeches the Heavenly Realms for guidance!"

As his clear, confident, and domineering words were uttered, a murmur of discussion and exclamations immediately arose from the crowd outside the arena.

This is Name School Sacred Land, Sacred Land of the "Zi Yang Realm" in the Upper Three Realms. It is presided over by Supreme Saint, and this Bai Yuan is most likely Disciple of the Supreme Saint!

Its fame was not great in the Heavenly Realms, but it had already shown its prowess in the Upper Three Realms. Therefore, those from the Upper Three Realms who came to watch the battle became excited and cheered.

Many of the figures who had wanted to go on stage earlier Pause slightly, and then their expressions became serious.

Even those who are unfamiliar with Bai Yuan know the significance of this Name School Sacred Land.

Disciple of the Supreme Saint!

These four words alone were enough to cause a sensation like thunder.

In an instant, the area outside fell silent. The crowd looked at each other, some deep in thought, but none of them made a move.

The others from the other Upper Three Realms, while wanting to Sparring with the other, knew that this was only a competition among the Top Hundred, and it wasn't time to clash with them yet.

Otherwise, they would inevitably expose their hand prematurely, which would be a loss, and it would also be unseemly to start such a big fight when vying for Top Hundred.

After a brief silence, no one outside the arena dared to challenge them.

With that domineering statement, "May the Heavenly Realms bestow their wisdom," he seemed to instantly suppress the entire scene!

Such a performance surprised and delighted many of the Name School' disciples in the audience, who cheered excitedly.

"Bai Yuan Saint Child mighty!!"

"Impressive! This is the Saint Child of our Name School; no one in the Heavenly Realms dares to step forward!"

Many disciples of Name School were extremely excited.

But it's too late to say that. If it were said earlier, there would inevitably be people who would dislike it and want to step in and show it off.

When Bai Yuan heard the Sage from the Source Ancestor Sacred Land announce his advancement, a smile appeared on his lips. He glanced at the figures in the crowd, as if to say, "I'm waiting for you!"

Immediately, his gaze fell on Li Hao, a hint of frivolity in his eyes. He also harbored the desire to suppress this person whose Blood Characters on the Heavenly Stele, but unfortunately, the other party did not participate.

With a whoosh, Bai Yuan turned and stepped off the stage, returning to the waiting area.

But such a domineering opening made Heavenly Realms powerful figures from the entire Heaven Origin Realm who came to watch the battle remember this top Heavenly Prodigy.

Li Hao noticed the other party's flippant gaze but didn't pay it any mind; he had no intention of challenging them.

As Bai Yuan left the stage, a second figure immediately Return to Emptiness Teleportation to the front of the Bone Reflection Mirror, vying for a second appearance.

On the Bone Reflection Mirror, his age appeared: 78.

However, he appeared to be a young man with an imposing presence. After stepping onto the stage, he calmly said, "Lin Zhuo from the Yin Yang Sacred Land, please enlighten me. My cultivation is not strong enough; I should not waste this opportunity."

Although the tone was humble, the words were arrogance and clearly provocative.

Upon hearing this, some people in the waiting area couldn't sit still any longer. A figure teleported out and arrived in front of the Bone Reflection Mirror to take the test. If the age was within one hundred, the person immediately stepped onto the stage.

"My cultivation is still short, and I only want to get into the top 100 to see how it goes, so I'll just pick an easy target."

The man spoke calmly, but everyone could tell that his words were directed at Lin Zhuo.

However, there are risks involved in saying this.

Upon hearing the other person's words, Lin Zhuo's lips curled up, and he said, "Then let's give it a try."

Soon, as the Magic Array solidified, strange phenomena such as storms and snow gradually appeared on the battlefield, with lightning surging. In addition to fighting, they also had to dodge these attacks of the Principle.

Bang!

As the battle broke out, Lin Zhuo suddenly unleashed a Sun Moon Divine Wheel, containing the Yin Yang Extreme Principle.

The challenger, however, unleashed his Extreme Realm, revealing a series of the Extreme Realm. Sensing the terrifying Aura contained within the Sun Moon Divine Wheel, he directly unleashed his Heaven and Earth Dharma Form.

The majestic Dharma Form image shone forth, and then unleashed a terrifying Thunder Light, tearing Past the Sun Moon Divine Wheel.

However, the alternating friction of the Sun Moon Divine Wheel seemed to cut through the Void. Lin Zhuo still had a faint smile on his face, but a glint of light flashed in his eyes. The Divine Wheels erupted and suddenly closed, emitting an Aura of the Saint Dao Seed Destruction!

Bang!

The sky was suddenly torn apart by Thunder Light, and the storms Thunder and Lightning that swept in randomly from all around were also shaken apart.

The storms, ice, snow Thunder and Lightning are meant to prevent prolonged and tedious battles. The purpose of the Top Hundred Battle is to quickly select the best candidates, and these storms and ice will continue to intensify over time.

However, at this moment, the battle had just begun, and the destructive power was still quite ordinary, so it did not interfere with the two of them.

After the shattering Thunder Light, the merged Sun Moon Divine Wheel suddenly transformed into a dazzling crimson- Golden Divine Light, leaving behind what appeared to be sparks of light along its path.

With a loud bang, it tore the man's Dharma Form apart, slicing it in two.

The man spat out a mouthful of blood, his Dharma Form faded, and he stared at the other man in shock.

The Five Extremes Realm was revealed, yet the opponent was defeated in just two rounds.

The opponent seemed to be using only the Extreme Realm Power of the Heaven and Earth Meridian.

"So strong!"

"So this is the disciple of the Supreme Saint Sage? Indeed, they have the right to be arrogant!"

"They were just being modest, not arrogant."

"... With a mind like that, even your parents wouldn't be able to find you in the Small Thousand Realm."

"That person was quite formidable, reaching the Five Extremes Realm. He was a top-tier Heavenly Prodigy, yet he was utterly defeated by a disciple of the Supreme Saint!"

"Don't you see? That person displayed the methods of Half-Saint. How many people in the Dao Law Realm can rival Half-Saint?"

There was a stir and much discussion outside the battlefield.

Lin Zhuo put away the Sun Moon Divine Wheel, looked at the other party coughing up blood, and smiled calmly, "Looks like your judgment isn't very good either. You picked the wrong target. If you want to make it into the Top Hundred, you'll have to practice some more."

Having said that, he turned and looked around, saying, "Is there anyone else willing to offer their guidance?"

As he spoke, his gaze swept across the crowd, then he glanced at Li Hao, a playful smile appearing on his lips.

Li Hao raised an eyebrow slightly; these guys all seemed to have designs on him.

However, he ignored it. The other party's Saint Dao Seed, which merged Yin and Yang to generate the power of collision and Destruction, was one of the Sacred Dao that could be born from the Great Dao Yin and Yang.

However, it differs from his own Sacred Dao.

However, he is currently only in the nascent stage of the Saint Dao Seed, and has not yet truly figured out the vague true meaning of the Sacred Dao in his heart.

"If I were in a hurry to cultivate, it would be easier for the embryonic form of the Sentient Dao to step into the Half-Saint, but the Sentient Dao Non-Self original intention..."

Li Hao's eyes flickered as he pondered the true meaning of his Sacred Dao.

Seeing that Li Hao did not respond, Lin Zhuo chuckled softly and waited calmly.

But this time, no one dared to issue another challenge.

With Lin Zhuo successfully advancing, the next person immediately took his place.

As one by one they took the stage, the first four or five were disciples of the Supreme Saint, followed by other Sacred Land vying for the opportunity.

Soon, as other people from the Middle Nine Realms Sacred Land appeared, challenges immediately arose, and a fierce battle broke out on the stage.

Li Hao watched quietly. Seeing that Lin Shuhai and Red Light hadn't made a move, he realized that he only had one chance to challenge. If he missed it, he would have to defend, and if he failed, he would be eliminated.

Although they had ambitions to break into the Top Ten, seeing that many of the disciples under the Supreme Saint's tutelage possessed the abilities of Half-Saint, their ambitions gradually waned, and they felt pressure, placing even greater importance on this opportunity to challenge.

As the battles continued, the atmosphere at the scene became incredibly heated.

After dozens of matches, those who went on to compete later stopped vying for the spot, carefully considering their options. Some even wanted to wait and see what happened next.

Before long, Li Hao saw Red Light, Ji Xuanshen, and the others also taking to the field to defend.

However, they were not well-known and their fame did not spread widely throughout the Heavenly Realms, so people from other Small World soon came forward to challenge them.

However, after the fierce battle, they all revealed their formidable strength.

Red Light's Flame Dao Divine Ability had Entering the Dao, easily scorching his opponents and making his name resound throughout the Heavenly Realms.

Ji Xuanshen displayed the Five Extremes Realm, and although he did not unleash any particularly dazzling techniques, his combat was as smooth as flowing water, and his practical combat experience was extremely strong, which made many people feel awe.

Not long after, Mingyue Jian also entered the battle to defend.

When his age was Bone Reflection Mirror, the entire audience was stunned.

Only 26 years old!

It's a bit exaggerated that someone so young could secure a spot in Small World and participate in the battle.

Hearing the cheers from the sidelines, Mingyue Jian's face turned even redder, like a bright red apple. But once he stepped onto the stage and drew his sword, the blush faded, and he became more serious.
