Painting Stars to Slay a Saint
"What is the Lord Haotian doing, actually helping the Devil Race?"
"Has he gone mad? This is betraying the Source Ancestor!"
"If Star Saint wants to kill him, no one will help him now."
At the Demon Slaying Assembly, many Sage felt that Li Hao's actions were somewhat insane. To stop the Star Saint from slaying the Devil Race in front of the Source Ancestor, even if Li Hao was the key to enter the Ancient Hall, he would probably not have a good ending.
"Haotian..."
Among the saints, Xiao Tianyu's expression was also somewhat unpleasant. He couldn't help but look at the white-haired, white-browed Sage sitting next to Master, the Source Ancestor. That was his senior Senior Brother, the Heavenly Talent Source Ancestor's Second Disciple, Prodigy genius.
No one knew that the other party was actually a Supreme Saint.
Only he knew that his Master's strength was far more terrifying than the outside world imagined. Li Hao had made a mistake in taking this step!
Many people looked at Source Ancestor, wanting to see his reaction, but saw that Source Ancestor's expression was calm and unchanged.
The white-haired, white-browed Sage beside the Source Ancestor had a slight glint in his eyes, a hint of coldness in them.
On the Void battlefield, Star Saint couldn't help but laugh when he saw Li Hao actually fighting for the God Race.
"Do you really think that just because the Ancient Hall needs you to open it, no one will touch you? Even if the Source Ancestor protects you now, once the Ancient Hall opens, it will be your death day!" he transmitted his voice.
Li Hao didn't bother to respond. The other party was overthinking things. He simply didn't want to see Ying Zaoxiao die before his eyes, that was all.
As for whether it counts as betraying the Source Ancestor, that's utter nonsense. He never swore allegiance to the Source Ancestor, so how can it be considered betrayal?
Living like Sage, without even the right to protect a single person, would be rather dull.
Seeing that Li Hao did not respond, Star Saint snorted coldly, and his whole body burst forth with Starlight, instantly transforming the Void around him into a Star Domain.
Within this Star Domain, countless fist-sized, dazzling orbs of light appeared, increasing in number—dozens, hundreds, even thousands—transforming into a vast Starry Sky.
"Let me see the power you used to kill the Ancestor Xu!"
Star Saint's eyes flashed with a cold light. He suddenly made his move, and Dao Light of Starlight shot out, illuminating his figure brilliantly. The condensed Starlight pierced through the Void and arrived in front of Li Hao in an instant.
The light was unavoidable, too fast, but Li Hao's Dao Domain was revealed the instant the Starlight approached. Within the Eternal Dao Domain, the Starlight seemed frozen, appearing as hundreds of Starlight, like shooting stars, a scene of extreme beauty.
Bang!
Then, these Starlight shattered abruptly, like smoke.
Star Saint raised an eyebrow. The Eternal Dao Domain, as rumored, is indeed quite powerful.
"Earth Yellow Star, suppress!"
He raised his hand, and a Xingchen in the Star Domain suddenly shone brightly. At the same time, a beam of Black-Yellow Light shone from beyond Void Heavenly Curtain above his head, spanning tens of millions of miles and enveloping everything.
"The Earth Yellow Star has been lit up!"
"I've heard that the Star Saint can mobilize the power of Heavenly Realms the Xingchen in the heavens!"
"A single Xingchen can be a whole world in itself!"
Many Sage gazed intently and sensed immense power emanating from that Black-Yellow Light, as if it were the Supreme Saint capable of moving Heaven and Earth.
Bathed in the Starlight, the Star Saint resembled an Imperial Emperor, raising his finger to suppress Li Hao.
As he pressed down with his fingers, a vast and powerful force descended, and the illusory outline of the Earth Yellow Star appeared hundreds of meters above Li Hao's head, blotting out the sky and blocking out all the light.
The sudden appearance of such a colossal object, and its overwhelming power pressing down upon us, was terrifying.
Li Hao looked up, his expression unchanged. The way the Star Saint borrowed the power of the Xingchen in the Heavenly Realms felt somewhat familiar to him.
While using his Dao Domain to defend himself, he quickly raised his finger, using the Void as paper and the Heaven and Earth Power as ink, and with a few strokes, created a Xingchen.
From beneath his feet, an Earth Yellow Star also rose, hurtling towards him.
A deafening roar echoed throughout the Void Sky Abyss. Both Xingchen, each carrying a portion of the original power of the Earth Yellow Star, collided violently, creating an impact that spread for tens of millions of miles.
Besides the saints, tens of millions of the God Race army were also shaken by this shockwave.
Such a display of power made even the God Race army pale in comparison.
After the explosive impact, Li Hao's body remained unmoved, as did Star Saint's, only his expression had changed slightly.
What kind of technique is this? Li Hao can actually replicate his attack, and it seems even more powerful.
"Unfortunately, the Earth Yellow Star I painted is just the Earth Yellow Star in the painting..."
Li Hao frowned slightly when he saw that the Earth Yellow Star he had drawn had been shattered. He felt a little regretful, as all those Xingchen in the sky were just a drawing.
If it were a real Xingchen, and this were used as a canvas to capture its essence, its power would be even more terrifying.
"I didn't expect you to have also comprehended the Star Dao. You're quite amazing for your young age," the Star Saint said in a low voice. Li Hao's performance had indeed made him no longer underestimate him, which also meant that he would do his best to suppress him.
Bang!
He raised his hand, and another Xingchen shone brightly in the sky. The surrounding temperature rose rapidly, and space seemed to distort—this was the Scorching Law. "Heaven Sun Star!"
The Star Saint borrowed the power of the Heaven Sun Star, known as the "Little Sun," and the sky above the Void Sky Abyss suddenly became countless times brighter, with scorching waves of heat spreading out.
A blazing Xingchen descended, its immense outline obscuring the tens of millions of God Race' armies, making their numbers appear utterly pale. This was the power of a top-tier Three Tribulations Saint.
Li Hao looked up, then raised his hand again, this time much more seriously.
He painted intently, his fingers stirring the Void as if splashing ink freely on Drawing Board. In the blink of an eye, the entire Void Sky Abyss seemed to boil.
The terrifying heat suddenly increased more than tenfold. This heat, infused with the power of the Origin of the Principle, caused many Sages to feel themselves drenched in sweat. Before the God Race army, a cold glint flashed in the eyes of the God King, and his body radiated a scarlet power, shielding the God Race army behind him. Despite him blocking most of the heat, the God Race army still felt as if they were in a sea of fire, and even their divine helmets could not withstand it.
From beneath Li Hao's feet, the entire Void turned crimson.
An unparalleled Blazing Sun rose slowly from below, like the morning sun, carrying boundless power and scorching heat. The Star Saint was stunned, his pupils slightly contracting.
BOOM!!
The Blazing Sun roared upwards and collided with the Heaven Sun Star.
Compared to this God Sun Heaven Sun Star paled in comparison, and its size was only one-tenth. What Li Hao depicted was not the Heaven Sun Star, but the God Sun that illuminated Heavenly Realms.
With a deafening roar, the Heaven Sun Star shattered under the violent tremors. At the same time, the God Sun, carrying the remains of the Heaven Sun Star, pressed Past the Star Saint.
Star Saint's long hair quickly turned yellow and withered, and his blood seemed to evaporate. Shock appeared in his eyes. Li Hao could actually borrow the power of the God Sun?! He had cultivated diligently for many years and was only one step away from becoming Supreme Saint. That one step was that he could not integrate the God Sun into his Star Domain.
That doesn't seem to belong to the Xingchen. Break!
The Star Saint suddenly roared, and the Star Domain became unprecedentedly dazzling, with countless Starlight illuminating it. Above his head, it seemed that many Xingchen also lit up. Then, the outlines of Xingchen Descent one after another, crashing Past the God Sun like meteorites.
Bang bang bang~!
A sound as dense as raindrops arose, Void trembled again and again. With each impact, the outlines of Xingchen shattered, and the explosive roar was like that of Immortal Deity creating the world, wielding an iron hammer to smash the earth, which was extremely shocking.
However, the Scorching Law surrounding the God Sun burned the outlines of these Xingchen, greatly reducing their impact force. Moreover, the God Sun is also a true Xingchen among Heavenly Realms Xingchen.
Rather than the Star River, it was all drawn.
Therefore, the God Sun that Li Hao is painting at this moment contains true stellar essence!
The speed was too fast, and the God Sun was too large. In the blink of an eye, the earth-shattering impact dissipated, and the God Sun enveloped the General Star Saint's figure. A hazy mist of light appeared, and the Star Saint's Aura suddenly vanished.
At the Demon Slaying Assembly, many Sage suddenly stood up, watching this scene in shock.
Though separated by millions of miles, the light and power of that God Sun seemed almost within reach. "The Star Saint, is he dead?"
"How is that possible!"
"This is too outrageous. Isn't Lord Haotian skilled in Swordsmanship? How come he's using the power of Xingchen?"
All the Sacred Capital felt their hearts pound with fear. The power of that God Sun was too overwhelming; it seemed capable of sweeping away a vast area even when facing Sage. If such power were used to attack Sacred Land, the entire Sacred Land would likely be reduced to ashes.
The area affected is vast, and the destructive power is proportional to the area affected—it's terrifying!
On the other side of the battlefield, the Nether Saint and the Gluttony Saint, who were fighting the Dragon God, were also distracted by the intense commotion and turned their eyes slightly to the side.
When he saw the God Sun General Star Saint being submerged, the Nether Saint's expression changed slightly.
That young man had only recently become famous, and hadn't even been a Sage for sixty years, yet he already possessed such combat power? Moreover, his opponent was merely One-Calamity Saint.
"To achieve sainthood through Painting Dao?"
Beside him, the Gluttony Saint's eyes showed surprise, as if deep in thought. He Gluttony Dao a saint through the food path, which was quite different from the mainstream. He thought that people like him were outliers in Heavenly Realms, but he never expected to meet a fellow human before him.
Moreover, he had previously heard that the other party Sword Dao; could it be that he was a dual practitioner of painting and swordsmanship?
Earlier, Li Hao had severed the Destruction power of the Nether Saint with a single sword strike, and Li Hao had seen that the Sword Dao was indeed powerful. Now, Li Hao looked at the spot where the Star Saint's Aura had disappeared and narrowed his eyes slightly.
He didn't stop. The opponent's Aura disappeared, his physical body vaporized, but Divine Blood still remained outside. The opponent had also reached the Power Circulation Final Realm!
Annihilation!
Li Hao Mastery the God Sun, causing it to collapse inward and self-destruct.
In an instant, the light on the God Sun intensified dozens of times, and then suddenly exploded. "Not good!"
Many Sage paled and hastily used their Sacred Dao powers to protect themselves. Even though they were millions of miles apart, the impact was still enough to affect them.
Meanwhile, on Void Sky Abyss's side, the God King's expression darkened slightly. This was the first time he had witnessed this Prodigy's battle firsthand, and it was even more terrifying than he had anticipated. It was hard to believe that the opponent had only recently become a saint.
His cloak billowed behind him, and crimson power spread, transforming into a wall stretching for thousands of miles, protecting the army of God Race. At the Demon Slaying Assembly, the Source Ancestor narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly his figure disappeared.
Before the Void Sky Abyss, the God King seemed to sense something, and sneered slightly; he was doing this on purpose. Whoosh!
His figure also suddenly disappeared.
While everyone's attention was still drawn to the terrifying impact of the God Sun Explosion, an even more terrifying crack appeared above the God Sun Explosion, directly dispersing the explosive power.
Then, the crack widened, as if it were about to tear the entire sky apart.
Two figures, one in azure and the other in crimson, clashed rapidly inside before disappearing into the depths of the crevice.
Many people immediately came to their senses, their gazes sweeping around, and realized that both the Source Ancestor and the God King were gone. "The Source Ancestor has made his move!"
"That crack was caused by the battle between the Source Ancestor and the God King. Is this the impact of a battle between top-tier Supreme Saint beings?" "Terrifying, I can't even see them."
"Their level of combat has surpassed that of Sage. This power feels like it could tear apart the Heavenly Realms!" Many Sage were shocked and tried their best to see what was happening. At this moment, no one even thought about the life or death of the Star Saint.
After all, the most crucial moment of this great war among the Heavenly Realms has arrived.
Regardless of whether the Source Ancestor or the God King wins or loses, it means that one side will be wiped out in blood! It's just unexpected that the person who created this crucial moment was Li Hao.
At the same time, the explosive light of the God Sun was absorbed by the crack in the sky and quickly dissipated, leaving only a faint black, round mark in the Void. It was not large, but some people noticed that their eyes were filled with horror as they looked at Li Hao.
Although these faint black marks were not as severe as the cracks left by the battle between the Source Ancestor and the God King, their ability to cause such a long-lasting impact on the Void indicated that they possessed power at the Saint-Level! Li Hao scanned the area but saw no remnants of the Star Saint's Divine Blood; it had all been annihilated.
He retracted his Dao Domain, looked up, and his gaze fell on the endless cracks on the battlefield. He could only see two terrifying Great Dao powers constantly intertwining and colliding within the cracks. The destructive power caused by each collision was even more terrifying than when he had just detonated his God Sun.
Li Hao's expression was solemn; such power was something he couldn't match even if he unleashed his full strength.
Currently, he is still quite far behind top-tier Supreme Saint like the Source Ancestor and the God King. Soon, two more terrifying Aura appeared in the Void Rift, radiating Tribulation Power. Li Hao knew that both sides were using Dao Tribulation Emperor Weapon.
At this moment, the Nether Saint, the Gluttony Saint, and the Dragon God on the other side of the battlefield also stopped and were closely watching the situation of this battle.
Their exchange was merely to create an opportunity for the other to reveal a weakness, and Li Hao actually created that opportunity. At this moment, the battle between the God King and the Source Ancestor is so intense that even Sage would find it difficult to intervene, unless they are Supreme Saint.
Li Hao stared intently for a moment, but could not see the specific situation. He turned his gaze to the Demon Slaying Assembly, only to find that the white-haired, white-browed Sage had disappeared without a trace. Li Hao's expression changed slightly. Although the Aura of that person was obscure, he felt that he was extremely extraordinary, no less than top-tier Three Tribulations Saint such as Star Saint and Nether Saint.
"Run while they're fighting," Li Hao heard Ying Xiaoxiao's voice transmission.
He looked at the woman and saw that her face was full of concern and anxiety.
"The Progenitor doesn't believe you and is unwilling to help you. This time, our God Race will not lose. The Progenitor still has trump cards. Come back after we win." "It doesn't matter. No matter who wins, I will be fine."
Li Hao reassured her, replying gently.
As long as the Ancient Hall remains, he is safe. Once the Ancient Hall is opened, regardless of his previous actions with the key, he will be attacked. Li Hao had already foreseen this. After all, those who boarded the vehicle first would want to lock the doors, so naturally they would want to destroy the key.
