At this moment, Tribulation Clouds shrouded the area, and waves of oppressive power emanated from Tribulation Clouds.

Despite sensing the Destruction power within, Li Hao remained calm. He merely glanced at it before immersing himself in the insights and absorption of the Imperial Dao Tenth Dan.

The Imperial Dao allows one to perceive the rules governing the operation of energy in All Things.

The Primordial Spirit is also a type of energy. Li Hao originally only knew how to attack directly with his Primordial Spirit, which was equivalent to a crude martial artist who used his fists and feet to fight savagely, but had no rules or techniques.

But now, with the understanding and absorption of the Imperial Dao Tenth Dan, Li Hao suddenly has many new insights and Mastery over the use of his Primordial Spirit.

In addition, many of the Divine Soul techniques previously collected from various forces in the Mortal World and the Lands of the Saints have been deduced to a higher level, merging with each other and extracting their essence from one another. Li Hao vaguely sensed a Mystery method of Mastery the Primordial Spirit.

As he was immersed in his enlightenment, the Tribulation Clouds above his head had already fully formed.

Before undergoing tribulation, other Sage would usually set up various formations around themselves and take some Precious Medicine to enhance their power in order to resist the Lightning Tribulation while the Tribulation Clouds were brewing.

The Middle-Aged Soldier saw Li Hao meditating, seemingly immersed in enlightenment, and couldn't help but focus his attention slightly.

Given Li Hao's Heavenly Talent, he shouldn't have been careless in cultivating to this level.

If others interfere with this Tribulation Clouds power will increase dramatically, and the interferer will be punished by Lightning Tribulation commensurate with their strength.

Boom!

The Lightning Tribulation suddenly Descent, tearing through the Void and striking directly at Li Hao.

Li Hao sat cross-legged, his whole body enveloped in Thunder Light, his hair flying wildly, yet his body remained as still as Bedrock.

The Middle-Aged Soldier was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood, his heart filled with astonishment. "This kid actually achieved Physical Body Sainthood? And he's even a practitioner of the Body Refining, which is the most time-consuming school..."

In the short time they spent together, Li Hao surprised and surprised him in countless ways.

As the Lightning Tribulation dissipated, Li Hao's physical body remained undamaged, his Aura showed little change, and his hair still contained his Divine Power, without even a single strand falling out.

As Li Hao was experiencing enlightenment, he felt a tingling and comfortable sensation all over his body, as if he were bathing in a hot spring.

Previously, when he first underwent the Saint Tribulation, he was able to easily withstand the thunderclouds. Now, after absorbing the Huntian Demon Body, his physical body is even more powerful. Although he has not yet reached the Physical Body God Realm, he is close to it, and he can withstand this Lightning Tribulation without breaking a sweat.

After all, this Lightning Tribulation was only at the level of a first-stage Path of Sacrifice.

Li Hao ignored it and focused on sensing. He summoned his Primordial Spirit above his head. The Primordial Spirit was exactly the same as him, but it radiated a dazzling light.

As the second Lightning Tribulation Descent, Li Hao's Primordial Spirit suddenly made a move, actually grasping the Lightning Tribulation in its palm.

The light of the calamity flashed continuously, as if Mastery thunder.

The middle-aged soldier's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw Li Hao's actions; he realized that Li Hao was trying out a primordial mystery technique.

The Lightning Tribulation trembled for a moment before dissipating in Li Hao's Primordial Spirit's hand.

Then came Lightning Tribulation, each one faster and more ferocious than the last.

But Li Hao's Primordial Spirit was bathed in the light of tribulation, either grasping the light or swimming in the thunderclouds like a flying fish.

"What will be the Terminal Realm of the Primordial Spirit?" Li Hao couldn't help but wonder.

Perhaps, once I reach the Eleventh Dan of the Imperial Dao, I will be able to touch it.

But now, he also vaguely sensed that although his Primordial Spirit was powerful, capable of absorbing the Sun Essence Moonlight Essence and traveling thousands of miles in an instant, it was not enough; it seemed that something was still missing.

Before long, this massive holy calamity gradually dissipated and came to an end.

With his successful tribulation, Li Hao received a gift from a supreme will deep within Heaven and Earth and earth—the power of the Heavenly Dao, which was even more terrifying than the power Li Hao had felt in the Lands of the Saints.

In the Lands of the Saints, he could still faintly sense the will of the Heavenly Dao, but here, he could only feel a faint Aura. Yet, that Aura possessed the power to suppress countless Xingchen, inspiring awe and fear. "Could it be that every world has its own Heavenly Dao, and that Heavenly Dao also has varying strengths?" Li Hao's eyes flickered.

The Immortal Emperor could create Pseudo-Realm; that vast Lands of the Saints was actually created by human hands—it's unbelievable.

Creating Pseudo-Realm is tantamount to creating the Heavenly Dao.

Li Hao thought of the nascent Heavenly Dao Embryo of the Three Saints Unity within his body. Could this be the essential requirement for becoming Immortal Emperor?

While pondering, Li Hao put away his Primordial Spirit. The power bestowed by the Heavenly Dao made Li Hao's Primordial Spirit even more crystal clear. The Primordial Spirit is the limit, but at this moment, the power contained within the Primordial Spirit seems to exceed this limit, and the excess part faintly condenses into a golden thread within the Primordial Spirit.

These golden threads, like blood vessels within the Primordial Spirit, stand upright within Primordial Spirit, yet like a spine, giving the Primordial Spirit an even more unshakeable feeling.

Li Hao vaguely sensed something. Primordial Spirit Primordial Spirit... Could it be that when the Primordial Spirit is cultivated to its ultimate level, it can transcend the physical body? The Primordial Spirit is the physical body, a transcendent form that can exist independently and doesn't even lose power when the physical body separates from it?

The thought was terrifying, but once it surfaced in Li Hao's mind, it took root and wouldn't leave.

If one could truly cultivate to that level, how terrifying and unimaginable it would be! Calling him True God would not be an exaggeration!

"You cultivate both physical and magical techniques, actually walking two Great Dao simultaneously. You're quite ambitious and impressive."

The Middle-Aged Soldier sighed to Li Hao after he finished his Lightning Tribulation.

It's a pity that such Prodigy was stuck on this Ancient Road.

If one can enter the True Realm and become an apprentice of one of the remaining Immortal Sect, one will surely achieve great things, and may even rise to become a hegemon ruling over a region in the Future.

Li Hao opened his eyes, smiled at the Middle-Aged Soldier, and said, "You flatter me, senior."

The Middle-Aged Soldier shook his head slightly. He could see Li Hao's terrifying potential. His physical body could easily withstand the Lightning Tribulation, far surpassing others in the same realm. He was bound to achieve great things in the Future.

Unfortunately, this Ancient Road is blocked, meaning that even with unparalleled talent, the opponent can only be buried in this desolate and dilapidated battlefield, or return to that Pseudo-Realm to live out the rest of their life in peace. Li Hao concealed his Aura to avoid attracting any more Ancient Demon. "The scenery here is quite charming."

Li Hao opened up the Heaven and Earth Space, took out brushes, ink, Drawing Board, and set them up. The Middle-Aged Soldier in front of him should also be able to provide him with considerable Painting Dao experience. Now, he has reached the Tenth Dan of Painting Dao, and his experience points have increased to 10 million.

Even painting the Three Tribulations Saint only yields three to four hundred thousand experience points. "Hmm?"

The Middle-Aged Soldier was somewhat surprised by Li Hao's actions, but said nothing.

Li Hao also quietly began to paint, capturing the desolate and tragic landscape before him in his brushstrokes.

He had Sage Entry Painting Dao, and at this moment, as he concentrated on his work, waves of Dao Resonance Aura emanated from him, as if the Great Dao was gathering and drawing him here.

The Middle-Aged Soldier sensed the commotion and were once again surprised; such a commotion was the mark of Entering the Dao- level.

"Your painting... Entering the Dao of artistry?" the Middle-Aged Soldier couldn't help but ask.

You should know that Entering the Dao the Dao through painting is not much different from cultivating the Path of Sacrifice; it's quite a test. "Hmm."

Li Hao nodded, and the bodies of the Middle-Aged Soldier gradually came to life under his brush.

Although the Middle-Aged Soldier was facing Li Hao, he could still see the scene depicted by Li Hao's brushstrokes under the influence of his Divine Sense. He saw that he had also entered the painting and seemed to be about to break out of it. He was stunned for a moment, and his gaze towards Li Hao became more complicated.

If Li Hao's previous display of talent only left him feeling disappointed, then the talent Li Hao is now revealing means that Li Hao's talent is even greater than he imagined!

Soul Lifespan is limited, the fact that one can cultivate to this level with such focus suggests that if given more resources and better treatment, one will surely soar to great heights.

"I never expected to see someone like you before I die."

A hint of regret flickered in the Middle-Aged Soldier's eyes, but then he thought of the battlefield where countless peerless Prodigy, True Realm Immortal Lord, and even the supreme immortal Immortal Emperor had perished. His regret gradually faded, leaving only desolation. With Li Hao's talent, no matter how Prodigy he was, he would only be similar to those who amazed the world, and would eventually fall, turning into a handful of dust.

He shook his head slightly, stopped thinking about it, and his mind became calm.

While sketching, Li Hao noticed a change in the Middle-Aged Soldier's emotions, but he didn't ask about it; he simply described it in detail.

Soon, as the painting was finished, an experience notification popped up before my eyes: [Painting Dao Experience +3,482,993]

"..."

Li Hao was stunned for a moment, rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and looked again carefully, realizing that he had not miscounted.

This is... nearly 3.5 million experience points!

Li Hao was somewhat shocked, because as Painting Dao improves, the requirements for one's artwork also increase.

Previously, when he painted Half-Saint, he could gain more than 30,000 experience points, but now, when he paints Half-Saint again, he can only gain about 10,000 experience points at most, a significant reduction.

And the fact that he can gain such a vast amount of experience from painting Middle-Aged Soldier is simply terrifying.

If he were to paint a few more times, the other person alone would be enough to fill Li Hao's Tenth Dan Painting Dao experience.

Moreover, besides the Middle-Aged Soldier, what if we were to depict that First Order Ancient Demon from before? Since it could fight the Middle-Aged Soldier, it could likely provide two to three million experience points as well.

"It seems I'll reach the maximum experience level soon. However, accumulating experience isn't difficult; the challenge lies in comprehending the State of Mind. I've hit the bottleneck at the Tenth Dan of the Painting Dao. To advance further... to comprehend an even higher realm, is that the Immortal Realm?"

Li Hao's eyes flickered.

Fortunately, while it's difficult to grasp State of Mind, the process is also extremely interesting. In any case, let's accumulate experience first.

Li Hao put away the painting and then continued painting, but this time his experience was much less, almost cut in half.

This place is desolate and offers no other pleasures, but since Li Hao himself enjoys Painting Dao, he doesn't find it boring. Even if he stays here for tens of thousands of years, he can still entertain himself.

The Middle-Aged Soldier looked at the smile that inadvertently appeared on Li Hao's face and felt that the young man seemed to be in a good mood. In such a bleak and desperate place, he could still have such a carefree attitude. He wondered if he did not truly understand this despair, or if he could really let go.

About.

With each painting session, Li Hao's experience in Painting Dao unknowingly accumulated to eight million.

Suddenly, the Middle-Aged Soldier's eyes flickered, and he looked in one direction.

Li Hao also sensed something, stopped writing, and his expression changed slightly.

He quickly packed up his Drawing Board, not caring that he had been delayed halfway through his painting.

"They're here again. Looks like they've caught a whiff of something fresh and are getting thirsty."

The Middle-Aged Soldier spoke in a low voice, his flesh and blood reappearing, returning him to his human form.

Heart.

He drew his sword, exuding an imposing aura, and said to Li Hao, "Get inside the chariot, little one..."

"Senior, you don't need to worry about me."

Li Hao said.

His Primordial Spirit manifested, and his Divine Sense spread rapidly, soon exceeding a hundred miles and reaching even more distant places.

From a hundred miles away, malevolent thoughts in the air stretched outwards, followed by a sudden gust of wind that brought a group of enormous and ferocious figures rushing over – the Ancient Demon.

Having just rested from a battle, Li Hao now faced another ordeal, realizing the hardships of living in this place.

Whoosh!

The Void suddenly tore open, and the enormous Ancient Demon figure Descent abruptly, appearing as if out of thin air before Li Hao's eyes.

Li Hao knew that his perception range was less than the opponent's sprint range, so it seemed as if the opponent had suddenly appeared in front of him.

The Middle-Aged Soldier, however, seemed to have anticipated this and immediately charged towards the Ancient Demon.

The Ancient Demon, who had previously fled battered and bruised, has now recovered to its full strength and is once again fighting the Middle-Aged Soldier.

Li Hao glanced at their battle and felt relatively at ease with the Middle-Aged Soldier. He then hid in the Bronze Chariot and noticed with his Divine Sense that a group of Third Order Ancient Demon were rushing over from a hundred miles away. There were more than twenty of them than before, and one of them was even larger, several hundred feet tall, exuding a terrifying aura.

Li Wu felt a chill run down his spine. Recalling the Middle-Aged Soldier's words, this Ancient Demon was most likely Second Order Ancient Demon.

At the same time, a reminder from the Middle-Aged Soldier echoed in his mind:

"That's Second Order Ancient Demon. Be careful, don't step out of the chariot."

Li Hao responded, but then took out the Broken Blade in his hand. If the enemy continued to surround the chariot, he would do the same thing as before.

Body.

If the Second Order Ancient Demon cannot destroy the chariot, he can take the opportunity to cut it apart and explore its interior.

Soon, these Ancient Demon roared in, and the largest Second Order Ancient Demon among them led ten Third Order Ancient Demons to attack the Middle-Aged Soldier.

"Be careful, senior!"

Li Hao quickly reminded him.

The Middle-Aged Soldier noticed this as well, his face turned cold, and he became even more ruthless in his attacks.

The remaining Third Order Ancient Demon flew straight towards the chariot, quickly surrounding it and enveloping it in their Saint Domain. They soon triggered the light array on the chariot, blocking it from entering.

Li Hao's eyes sharpened. Ten Ancient Demon were comparable to ten Supreme Saint surrounding him, but he had already figured out their physical structure and was no longer as afraid as before.

"Die!"

Li Hao used his Primordial Spirit to control the Broken Blade, and suddenly shot out.

Whoosh!

The Broken Blade shot out rapidly, instantly killing the physical body of a Third Order Ancient Demon.

This sudden change stunned all ten Ancient Demons, leaving them somewhat shocked and frightened.

They only sensed the unfamiliar scent of the Young Immortal, but the attack before them seemed far more terrifying than the scent they perceived.

Could he be a True Immortal?

Several Ancient Demon Pause, seemingly wanting to retreat.

Li Hao, however, stared at the Ancient Demon whose physical body he had just killed, and suddenly unleashed his primordial Primordial Spirit. The Ancient Demon sensed Li Hao's intention and let out a piercing scream. The other Ancient Demon also reacted and hurriedly used their Saint Domain to block and suppress Li Hao's Primordial Spirit.

At the same time, bursts of Black Mist -like Aura were exhaled, having a strong corrosive effect on the Primordial Spirit.

Previously, Li Hao would have had no choice but to retreat upon seeing this and continue to use his Broken Blade to restrain the enemy.

But at this moment, a murderous intent arose in his heart, and he also wanted to test the Mastery he had just comprehended over the many Imperial Dao.

"Primordial Spirit, Threefold Blade!"

Li Hao's Primordial Spirit suddenly transformed into a sharp blade of light, piercing through the Saint Domain and rushing towards the Black Mist.

The Black Mist indeed possessed an extremely strong devouring power, staining the surface of the blade's edge like rust, causing the radiance of the Primordial Spirit to dim.

But the Primordial Spirit still arrived in front of the Ancient Demon's primordial Primordial Spirit, which was about to merge with the physical body. Suddenly, the Primordial Spirit, Aura had just been dim and seemed to have weakened to the extreme, shed its disguise in an instant and burst out with dazzling light.

The outer shell peeled off, revealing the real knife inside. Thud!

The Primordial Spirit slashed out, and to the astonishment of the Ancient Demon's Primordial Spirit, it suddenly cleaved it in two.

As it cleaved open, the Primordial Spirit shot out countless Hook Blades- like lines, completely annihilating the opponent's Primordial Spirit.

After doing all this, Li Hao's Primordial Spirit rushed rapidly to the other side of the Black Mist, then turned and returned to his main body from the other side.

An Ancient Demon reacted extremely quickly, roaring as it used Black Mist and its Saint Domain to chase after Li Hao's Primordial Spirit, soon enveloping Primordial Spirit.

However, Li Hao's Primordial Spirit directly broke through the Black Mist, flashed slightly, and pierced through the Saint Domain, returning to his physical body.

The Ancient Demon was somewhat stunned, clearly not having seen what had happened.

Li Hao knew that it was because his Primordial Spirit had used the Return to the Ruins and stored the Sacred Dao Primordial Spirit it that such an effect was achieved.

All of this happened in the blink of a Firestone. By the time Li Hao's Primordial Spirit returned, the Ancient Demon's physical body was already completely dead. Without Primordial Spirit, its body was nothing more than a corpse.

Even if one can be Blood-Drop Rebirth, the Primordial Spirit is dead. The physical body may appear intact, but it lacks the ability to move and will only slowly decay and Corruption over Years.

"Roar!"

The other Ancient Demon reacted and roared, filled with rage and killing intent.

They had already realized that Li Hao's Aura was not that of True Immortal, but merely that of Saint-Level being like themselves.

But the fact that such a being could kill them in the blink of an eye is simply unacceptable.

Since the birth of Ancient Demon, they have possessed overwhelming power against other races of the same level. This is because of their innate ability to directly corrode and attack souls, which forces other races of the same level to flee in terror. Only a few Prodigy can escape from them by relying on supreme treasures or certain special Secret Method.

But now, this Human Race has actually killed their own kind. And it happened incredibly fast, in the blink of an eye.

They still couldn't understand how, in an instant, this Human Race could separate their physical bodies from their Primordial Spirit and kill their physical bodies.

They seemed extremely familiar with their physical weaknesses, as if they had dissected them countless times.

"I killed one, but there are still nine left, and my Primordial Spirit is injured." Li Hao ignored the roars of the Ancient Demon, his expression calm and composed. Although he had just killed this Ancient Demon, his Primordial Spirit had still been corroded and needed to recuperate.

However, taking the head of one of the ten Ancient Demon is already quite an achievement.

Li Hao wasted no time and unleashed the All Heavens Star Meridian.

In an instant, he was enveloped in Starlight, and Xingchen fields appeared around him.

The light from 1464 Xingchen in the Heavenly Circuit sphere surrounded Li Hao, their radiance varying in size and dazzlingly bright, making Li Hao appear as if he Lord of All Stars.

As the Xingchen power, even more abundant than that of the Lands of the Saints, surged in, Li Hao's strength recovered extremely quickly, and his Primordial Spirit was also slowly healing. If it were a physical injury, it would heal in the blink of an eye. While Li Hao was healing, his mind was pondering the process of the killing just now, feeling that it was not Perfection enough.

If the damage to the Primordial Spirit can be reduced, the killing speed can be increased, becoming even faster. While Li Hao was healing, the nine Ancient Demon Anger attacked the Bronze Chariot, trying to deplete the light array and kill Li Hao.

While healing his Primordial Spirit, Li Hao manipulated the Broken Blade, slicing through the bodies of these Ancient Demons, killing their physical forms and restraining them.

Although the light array on this chariot is consumed very slowly, who knows how long this situation will last? Besides, this chariot is meant to be used by Middle-Aged Soldier for healing and recovery in critical moments, and it shouldn't be allowed to be worn out too much in his hands.

Li Hao kept using the Broken Blade to restrain him, and after half an incense stick's time, his Primordial Spirit had almost fully recovered.

Li Hao targeted another Ancient Demon, his Broken Blade flashing past, killing it instantly.

The Ancient Demon roared, wanting its Primordial Spirit to merge with its physical body. Its physical body had already been killed repeatedly by Li Hao's Broken Blade, but as long as its Primordial Spirit merged with its physical body, it could be healed in the blink of an eye.

However, at this moment, as his physical body was killed, Li Hao's Primordial Spirit suddenly burst forth. Li Hao felt that his previous Threefold Blade was not Perfection enough.

"Primordial Spirit Sword Dao!"

Li Hao's Primordial Spirit suddenly condensed into a sword, integrating the Sole Self Sword Dao into his Primordial Spirit. In an instant, his Primordial Spirit slashed out fiercely.

The Sword Intent was released by the Primordial Spirit, which actually cleaved the Black Mist in two, and the Primordial Spirit flashed away through the gap.

Bang!

The sword light of the primordial spirit directly severed the primordial spirit of the ancient demon. Then, the primordial spirit hooks that separated from it grabbed the shattered primordial spirit, instantly tearing it into countless pieces, and then rolled it up and flew away to another place.

The Primordial Spirit was extremely fast, and soon rushed to the distance. The other Ancient Demon quickly chased Past, but Li Hao's Primordial Spirit was too fast. It drew an arc and rushed into the chariot, merging with his physical body.

This time, his Primordial Spirit was not injured!

Li Hao's eyes lit up with joy. The fact that his Primordial Spirit could Mastery Sword Intent was somewhat unexpected, but it was extremely difficult to execute. Only when he reached the Tenth Dan of the Imperial Dao could he barely control it.

As the second Ancient Demon was killed, Li Hao could no longer restrain the killing intent in his eyes. He manipulated the Broken Blade to fight while coordinating with his Primordial Spirit.

He targeted an Ancient Demon, and in an instant, the Broken Blade pierced through the Saint Domain, passed through the Black Mist, and tore the Ancient Demon's body apart as easily as cutting tofu, killing it instantly.

Then, his Primordial Spirit followed suit, unleashing Sword Light that pierced through the Black Mist. He used the Return to Emptiness Teleportation and instantly arrived before the Ancient Demon.

Bang!

The motion is transmitted.

The Ancient Demon was terrified; its Primordial Spirit suddenly turned jet black, unleashing a powerful wave of Destruction.

However, the moment the fluctuations showed any trace, Li Hao's Primordial Spirit severed them.

As it severed the Primordial Spirit, it released numerous Hook Blades that tore the Primordial Spirit apart, utterly Destruction.

As the third Ancient Demon was swiftly slain, the remaining Ancient Demon became enraged.

Besides Anger, there was even more fear.

What kind of Human Race is this?

Despite being on the same level as them, it possesses such a terrifying Primordial Spirit.

Li Hao did not stop. With the support of the All Heavens Star Meridian, his power was inexhaustible, and he quickly charged towards the fourth Ancient Demon.

Whoosh!

The Ancient Demon that was targeted hurriedly fled. The other Ancient Demon noticed this and reached a tacit consensus, simultaneously rushing to his aid. Their Saint Domain combined to suppress Li Hao.

But the Broken Blade, flying in mid-air, suddenly changed direction and attacked another Ancient Demon.

As his physical body was swiftly killed, Li Hao's Primordial Spirit emerged almost simultaneously.

The fourth Ancient Demon has fallen!

Li Hao turned the tables, his eyes turning cold as he continued his attack.

The remaining six Ancient Demons were terrified. It was too terrifying. They clearly had the advantage, yet they couldn't do anything to Li Hao, hiding inside the chariot, could continuously attack, almost always with instant kills! Among their peers, they had never encountered such a terrifying True Realm race. As Li Hao attacked again, the six Ancient Demon began to move away from the Bronze Chariot. "Trying to escape?"

Li Hao, wielding the Broken Blade, gave chase.

Soon, he killed the lagging Ancient Demon.

The other Ancient Demon were still on the run, but Li Hao used Flying Section's attribute to double his attack range, easily catching up with them.

Soon, two more Ancient Demon fell one after another, leaving only three that escaped to a more distant place and were already out of Li Hao's perception.

Li Hao watched as the Ancient Demon corpses fell down. To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, he gathered them all up and threw them beside the Bronze Chariot. Then he looked towards the battlefield where the Middle-Aged Soldier were fighting.

However, the battle Middle-Aged Soldier had shifted to a hundred miles away, Li Hao could only see bursts of intense fluctuations.

He hesitated for a moment. He now had the strength to kill Third Order Ancient Demon and could provide support. But doing so would be somewhat risky.

Seeing the chariot beneath him, Li Hao quickly dispelled his hesitation and charged out of the Bronze Chariot.

Although he had only spent a short time with the Middle-Aged Soldier, he could not stand idly by and remain indifferent to the kindness shown to him by offering him a chariot for protection.

However, Li Hao didn't act rashly, lest he end up hindering the effort instead of helping. He concealed his Aura and quietly Past.

As Li Hao approached the battlefield, he saw the Second Order Ancient Demon leading ten other Ancient Demon, providing support on the battlefield and releasing a large amount of Black Mist that enveloped the entire Heaven and Earth.

Li Hao could no longer make out the figures of the Middle-Aged Soldier, but being trapped in this Black Mist would inevitably have an impact.

Li Hao noticed that the Second Order Ancient Demon and the other Third Order Ancient Demon seemed to be casting some kind of formation, their power condensed together.

After observing for a moment, Li Hao suddenly made his move.

He unleashed his full power from the very first move, revealing his Extreme Realm. At the same time, he entered the Ultimate Transformation to Immortality, his consciousness escaping into the Heaven and Earth. His thoughts suddenly became incredibly clear, the Black Mist before him seemed to have faded considerably, and he could sense the Aura of the Middle-Aged Soldier.

Whoosh!

The Broken Blade suddenly shot out.

Almost instantly, it pierced through the body of a Third Order Ancient Demon, disintegrating its flesh with lightning speed and killing it instantly.

The Ancient Demon seemed to have no time to react before it was killed, its Primordial Spirit separated from its physical body.

At the same moment, Li Hao's Primordial Spirit transformed into a sword, which he unleashed with the Return to the Ruins.

Bang! The opponent's Primordial Spirit was also torn apart.

But this was just the beginning. Li Hao did not stop. With even greater speed, he used his Broken Blade to attack the second and third Ancient Demon.

The sharp, Broken Blade, like flying needles, swiftly pierced through the bodies of several Ancient Demons.

Li Hao's Primordial Spirit also followed suit and flew out with a slash.

In an instant, the five Ancient Demon died one after another.

At this moment, the other Ancient Demon finally reacted, somewhat shocked, and quickly locked onto Li Hao's figure.

The Second Order Ancient Demon's attention was entirely focused on the Middle-Aged Soldier. The soldier was surrounded and fighting their leader, yet he remained fierce, forcing the demon to be fully alert.

But the sudden change brought it back to its senses.

When it noticed Li Hao and the five other members of its race who had already lost their life Aura, it was stunned, and then somewhat shocked and angry.

It looked at Li Hao and, with just one glance, realized that this Human Race was not True Immortal, but merely Saint-Level.

Furthermore, the Tribulation Power emanating from him was weak, seemingly only at the level of Second Tribulation Saint.

In reality, Li Hao only suffered one calamity and performed two Path of Sacrifice.

"Roar!"

The Second Order Ancient Demon roared, somewhat furious and incredulous that Human Race from the Holy Tribulation could kill five of its kin in the blink of an eye.

Could it be that it used Immortal Artifact? It let out a low growl and commanded the other five Ancient Demons to attack Li Hao.

It cannot escape on its own, otherwise it will expose a weakness and its leader will be injured.

As the five Ancient Demon attacked, Li Hao remained calm. Seeing that the Second Order Ancient Demon did not make a move, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After that.

Facing the five Ancient Demon charging towards him, Li Hao manipulated the Broken Blade to continue his attack, his Primordial Spirit following behind.

Bang!

An Ancient Demon Meat was killed, and its Primordial Spirit was subsequently torn apart.

This time, the other Ancient Demon saw through Li Hao's attack methods and were somewhat shocked.

It could kill their physical bodies instantly; the knife was incredibly sharp, but it seemed to possess no other power, only sharpness.

However, this sharp blade displayed a terrifying power in Li Hao's hands. Swoosh!

The Broken Blade flashed in an arc, arriving in an instant, and slaying another Ancient Demon.

The other Ancient Demon had already rushed towards Li Hao, but Li Hao quickly activated his Eternal Dao Domain.

Under the Ultimate Transformation to Immortality, coupled with the All Heavens Star Meridian, his entire body was filled with terrifying power. In particular, inheriting the Extreme Force Saint Dao of the Primal Chaos Saint, his Sacred Dao became increasingly powerful.

Bang!

Li Hao suddenly pulled out his Merit and Fame and swung it out.

This sword strike is like Immortal Guides the Way!

With the power to break through all laws, combined with the power of the Extreme Force Saint Dao and the Ultimate Transformation to Immortality, this sword strike was not only exquisite, but also terrifying in power, directly blocking the attacks of the three Ancient Demons.

At the same time, Li Hao wielded the Broken Blade and charged out.

Soon, another Ancient Demon died.

The remaining two Ancient Demons were shocked and enraged, sensing the threat of death. They merged their Saint Domain, but dared not attack rashly again.

The Second Order Ancient Demon was both anxious and angry, but also somewhat wary. The Broken Blade was too sharp; it felt that if it encountered it, its physical body might be instantly killed.

Fortunately, it realized that although Li Hao's Primordial Spirit was terrifying, killing it wouldn't be so easy. Bang!

Suddenly, a violent tremor brought the Second Order Ancient Demon back to its senses.

The Black Mist dissipated, and a painful howl rang out. Then, the enormous Ancient Demon roared and fled into the distance.

Seeing this, the Second Order Ancient Demon was horrified. He didn't care about Li Hao anymore and hurriedly followed his leader to escape.

"It can walk, but you can't."

Suddenly, the Middle-Aged Soldier appeared before him, and swiftly brought his sword down on his head.

The Second Order Ancient Demon let out a shriek and swung its Sharp Claws out in an attempt to block, but its Sharp Claws were cleaved in two along with the demon's claws.

The wound could not heal, and it seemed that his Primordial Spirit had also been torn in two.

The Middle-Aged Soldier wanted to annihilate it directly, but suddenly remembered Li Hao's words, changed his Sword Momentum, and slashed out again.

The Second Order Ancient Demon's body exploded, its body shattered into pieces, turning into a Towering Chunks of Flesh that scattered across the sky.

The two Third Order Ancient Demon also tried to escape, but Li Hao had already set his sights on them and immediately attacked, unleashing his Broken Blade and quickly killing them one after another.

The battlefield immediately fell silent.

Li Hao and the Middle-Aged Soldier looked at each other, their eyes meeting. The Middle-Aged Soldier's eyes showed surprise, followed by an undisguised smile.

"I never imagined that a mere incomplete top-tier Dao Weapon could help you slay Third Order Ancient Demon, and in an instant at that! Truly impressive!"

Li Hao's combat prowess impressed even the Middle-Aged Soldier. With such strength, he would have been more than capable of joining the Di Yang Army under the Tian Yang Immortal Emperor back then.

Li Hao laughed. He had been worried that the other party would be surrounded and injured, but now it seemed that he had worried too much.

To have survived countless Years here is truly extraordinary. "You said you wanted to preserve your body, so I did."

The Middle-Aged Soldier said to Li Hao. Li Hao looked at the scattered pieces of stone, which were about the size of rocks, not too small, so they wouldn't affect Cooking.

"Alright, we're in for a good meal. I wonder what the flesh and blood of this Ancient Demon taste like."

Li Hao said.

Upon hearing this, the Middle-Aged Soldier laughed and said, "The flesh and blood of this thing have little nutritional value. We've captured some before to use as military rations, but we found them very difficult to digest."

"Let me take a look," Li Hao said.

He then waved his hand, gathering the scattered fragments and retrieving the corpses of the other Third Order Ancient Demon he had killed.

Then, he returned to the Bronze Chariot with the Middle-Aged Soldier. Li Hao raised his hand, and the Primal Chaos Divine Fire of Heaven and Earth and earth appeared in his palm.

Upon seeing the Primal Chaos Divine Fire in Li Hao's hand, the Middle-Aged Soldier's eyes widened in surprise. "Primal Chaos Divine Fire? This is a secret technique of the Artifact-Forging Immortal Sect."

"Um?"

Li Hao was somewhat surprised, but considering that there were countless powerful beings among the Immortal Deity, it was not surprising that someone could detect the Primal Chaos Divine Fire.

"It's excellent for Cooking," Li Hao Divine Fire with a light laugh.

He then manipulated the Fragment to process the Ancient Demon's body, cooking it in the Void with Primal Chaos Divine Fire.

Heaven and Earth served as a furnace, and the Primal Chaos Divine Fire scorched the Ancient Demon's body. Under Li Hao's Mastery, even the largest and thickest chunks of flesh could be made crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Then, he took out many bottles and jars from the Heaven and Earth Space, all of which were seasonings, some of which he had ground himself.

Seeing Li Hao's actions, the Middle-Aged Soldier couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "You're really a cook?"

Li Hao laughed and said, "Just a hobby." "You have quite a few hobbies," the Middle-Aged Soldier thought, recalling Li Hao's recent painting demonstration; he too Entering the Dao the realm of art, making it hard to imagine what else he might be doing.

Such a fellow, with Soul Lifespan of less than sixty, actually has the mind to delve into the Painting Dao to the level of the Entering the Dao- Level.

To what extent, how much do you have to love it?

As the grill roasted, Li Hao began sprinkling on seasonings, and the aroma gradually wafted out, making it tempting to cook.

The Middle-Aged Soldier, upon smelling this aroma, found their long-dormant appetites stirring once more.

He looked at Li Hao and said, "You previously used your Primordial Spirit to unleash a Swordsmanship; if..."

"I'm not mistaken, it seems to be the Immortal Guides the Way from the Great Dream Nine Abyss Sect?"

Li Hao thought of the names listed on the Panel; the prefix "Immortal Guides the Way" was indeed "Great Dream."

Nine Abysses, so there was such Sect.

"Um."

Upon hearing Li Hao's admission, the Middle-Aged Soldier exclaimed, "No wonder! The Great Dream Nine Abyss was created by the Second Disciple of the Tian Yang Immortal Emperor. That Immortal King was a genius with divine talent, an unparalleled Sword Dao prodigy. He mastered the Nine Abyss Sword Art, which only had nine forms, but it is said that apart from the Immortal Emperor, no one could withstand his complete nine forms."

His eyes held a hint of reminiscence as he said, "You come from the Pseudo-Realm, so you must be a descendant of that great one, leaving your mark Pseudo-Realm. It's a pity that the Great Dream Nine Abyss Sect also participated in that battle back then, and I heard they suffered heavy losses. I wonder if their lineage has been severed. I don't even know what the True Realm beyond this Ancient Road is like now. I often wonder if I'm the only one left in the entire True Realm..."

His expression was somewhat sad.

Li Hao's help prompted him to reminisce about many things from the past.

"If the Great Dream Nine Abyss Sect is destroyed, then you should barely be considered the only half-successor," the Middle-Aged Soldier said in a low voice.

Seeing his pessimism, Li Hao was also somewhat affected. With such a great calamity occurring in the entire True Realm, what was the situation like outside?

"Senior, how have you managed to survive until now?"

Li Hao asked curiously.

These words were somewhat presumptuous. The Middle-Aged Soldier glanced at Li Hao but didn't seem to mind. A hint of pain appeared in his eyes as he said:

"You might think I'm a deserter, and indeed, I am a deserter..." Li Hao shook his head and said, "Senior, please don't misunderstand. I don't think that way. How could you be a deserter when you've been guarding that Dao Gate for the Immortal Emperor for so long?"

The Middle-Aged Soldier said bitterly, "In that great battle back then, they all died. By the time our reinforcements arrived, the battlefield was already nearing its end. All my comrades had perished, leaving only me. When I was about to die, an Immortal King saved me. With the help of that Immortal King's chariot and treasures, I was fortunate enough to survive."

"When I awoke again, countless Years had Past, the battle was long over, but Ancient Demon still lingered here, wandering the land..."

Li Hao remained silent. The deserters the other party was referring to were mostly those who failed to die alongside him.

Having spent time in the Divine General Residence and been influenced by it since childhood, Li Hao could understand the hearts of those soldiers on the battlefield.

The Middle-Aged Soldier looked up at the distant Xingchen and whispered, "My only wish is to see what the True Realm is like now before I die. Has it been completely occupied by the Ancient Demon, or did we win that battle, but this battlefield has been buried, which is why no one comes here?"

Li Hao remained silent, though he himself was somewhat curious about it.

If the True Realm is occupied by Ancient Demon, then there will truly be no immortals left in the world. The only way out for those who cultivate to the top will be a dead end and despair.

At this moment, the aroma of meat filled the air, and Li Hao's thoughts returned to normal. He said softly, "No matter what, let's eat our fill first."

The Middle-Aged Soldier glanced at him and noticed that the young man always possessed that optimistic spirit.

That was an ultimate kind of carefree spirit.

"With your current strength, you should be able to return to the Pseudo-Realm by now. There's no point in you staying here with me."

"That's what the Middle-Aged Soldier said."

Upon hearing this, Li Hao's eyes flickered slightly.

With the advancement to the Imperial Dao Tenth Dan, many of his techniques have been enhanced. If he were to face the Source Ancestor or the God King alone, he would indeed be confident in his ability to fight them, or at the very least, escape.

"Try my cooking first," Li Hao said. The Middle-Aged Soldier's gaze fell on the Cooking Ancient Demon Meat, and a hint of appetite appeared in his eyes. Although he hadn't eaten it yet, he could already sense that Li Hao's Cooking seemed to be excellent.

Li Hao skillfully cut a piece with his Broken Blade and gave it to him, then ate it himself.
