The Ancient Demon Descends, the Saints Regret It

Within the Tianyuan Sacred Land.

Inside the Source Ancestor cave abode, all the saints gathered.

"Source Ancestor, the Saint Infant has reached the Sixth Extreme Realm cultivation!"

One of the first Sage to arrive spoke with great excitement.

Here, the Law Saint, Name Saint, and Ink Saint, among Sacred Capital arrived. Their expressions appeared relatively calm, but they too harbored a degree of excitement within.

After all these years, the Heavenly Realms have finally produced a second person to reach the Sixth Extreme Realm!

That Immortal Road was finally no longer under Li Hao's sole Mastery.

During the previous Supreme Heaven Pride Battle, they learned that Sixth Extreme Realm had been born. They thought they could Mastery him, but who would have thought that Li Hao would improve step by step and progress Divine Speed, achieving Sacrificial Dao Sanctification in front of everyone? Now that he has returned from the Immortal Road, even their Sacred Capital cannot suppress him.

It's like a net that's been laid out for thousands of years, but a gap appears, letting in a big fish. As a result, the big fish turns around and devours them.

"Now, we finally don't have to be at the mercy of that Lord Haotian anymore."

"What kind of Lord Haotian is he? He's nothing but a treacherous villain who, for his own selfish gain, monopolizes the Immortal Road. He's a disgrace to the Sage!"

"It's unbelievable that such a despicable person could write such a Sacred Dao and famous text as the Dao Scripture at the Dao Discussion Assembly."

"How dare he say, 'It is precisely because he Non-Contention that no one in the All Under Heaven can contend with him'? He is truly hypocritical!"

As the saints gathered, besides their surprise and excitement, there was a great deal of criticism directed at Li Hao. Moreover, their words were increasingly indignant, as they no longer needed to worry about Li Hao; they now also had the qualifications to embark on the Immortal Road!

Once they enter the Immortal Road, even if their cultivation Divine Speed is not as fast as Li Hao's, they have the advantage of numbers. If they can all become immortals, they will be able to suppress Li Hao sooner or later with their combined strength!

At the same time, they also wanted to let the Immortal Deity to whom Li Hao had apprenticed know about Li Hao's despicable behavior!

"Since everyone has gathered here, Haotian is very likely to have noticed something. We must act quickly and resolve this matter as soon as possible to embark on the Path to Immortality."

At this moment, the Yin Yang School Supreme Saint calmly spoke.

The Mo Family Supreme Saint's eyes flickered. He remembered talking with that young man at the Dao Discussion Assembly. Given his disciple's relationship with the Jiang Family, he had always held a favorable impression of the young man. However, this time, the young man had disappointed him somewhat.

However, he had some doubts about Li Hao's words, but compared to the chance of becoming Immortal Deity, he still wanted to see it for himself.

"That's right, that kid is cunning; we absolutely cannot let him ruin things."

"That Ancient Hall is currently being guarded by the Medicine Saint. The Medicine Saint is foolish; she actually Trusted Attendant that boy's words. What if she insists on stopping us?"

A Sage once said...

Source Ancestor slightly raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet. Now that the Saint Infant was formed and the Immortal Road was within reach, he would not allow anyone to ruin his plans this time.

"Now, my avatar has opened Immortal Gate to receive the Saint Infant."

The Source Ancestor's expression was solemn as he said, "Although the Saint Infant has cultivated to the Heaven-Man Extreme Realm, he is only at the Three Immortalities Realm and has not yet entered the Four Establishments Realm. Without the Heaven and Earth Space, we need to raise his cultivation to the Four Establishments Realm before he can carry us into that Immortal Road."

"I possess a Divine Medicine that can rapidly increase cultivation levels below the Dao Inquiry Realm, but it will cause instability in the foundation."

An elderly Sage man stroked his beard and said...

Source Ancestor nodded. He knew about the Divine Medicine in the other party's possession, and he had only asked the other party to bring it up himself.

"It's alright. Our purpose in creating the Saint Infant is to enter the Path to Immortality. Even if our cultivation foundation is unstable later on, it won't affect anything."

"Source Ancestor said."

The others readily agreed.

Then, the Sage elder also

They took out the Divine Medicine, and not long after, a figure flew over from afar and entered the Sacred Land.

That figure was none other than the incarnation of the Source Ancestor. He arrived at the Sacred Land, transformed into specks of Starlight, and vanished, leaving behind only a handsome and dashing young man who appeared to be elegant and refined.

However, the young man standing before the saints was clearly frightened, showing some fear and nervousness.

He was cultivating when he was suddenly brought to this place, completely bewildered.

But the saints before him, besides filling him with fear, also gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if something of the same origin within him was resonating with him.

Upon seeing this Second Saint Infant, all the saints focused their gazes on it, their eyes shining.

"Child, don't be afraid."

Source Ancestor smiled, then took the Divine Medicine from the Sage and handed it to the Saint Infant.

Half an hour later, the saints followed the Source Ancestor and the God King to the Void Ancient Temple.

The Ancient Hall was surrounded by swirling Cloudmist, drifting in the Void, and obscured by the light of Thunder and Lightning, making it difficult to approach.

But everyone present was Sage, and they quickly stepped onto the steps in front of the Ancient Hall, bearing the Great Dao Principle on the steps, and entered the Ancient Hall.

What are you doing here?

Ancient Hall, the Medicine Saint sat cross-legged. Her long, snow-white robe, as white as silk, flowed freely, and her hair swayed gently in the wind. Bathed in the starlight of the Ancient Hall, she was ethereal and otherworldly, possessing a beauty that transcended the mundane world.

Upon seeing the Source Ancestor, the God King, and the saints behind them, the Medicine Saint frowned slightly, his expression changing somewhat.

"Medicine Saint, the Second Saint Infant has already mastered the Sixth Extreme Realm. Now, among Heavenly Realms, Lord Haotian is no longer the only one who has mastered this Extreme Realm."

Source Ancestor looked at the Medicine Saint with a calm and composed expression, and said, "The structure of this Second Saint Infant also owes a part to you. Step aside, let's embark on the Immortal Road together!"

The Medicine Saint was slightly taken aback, but immediately sensed that the Second Saint Infant was not in the Mortal World; its Aura was beside the Source Ancestor, seemingly hidden by him.

She knew that the other party's arrival with such a grand display was no exaggeration, and her heart stirred slightly.

"Medicine Saint, do you really believe Haotian's one-sided account?"

The Name Saint stepped forward and spoke in a cold voice.

The Medicine Saint remained silent. She didn't completely believe Li Hao's words, but she believed them at least 80% of them; otherwise, she couldn't think of any reason why Li Hao would deceive them.

"Get out of the way, the chance to become an immortal is right in front of you, all you have to do is move aside."

Source Ancestor spoke again, his voice less composed than usual, now tinged with suppressed urges.

The Law Saint said softly, "The Medicine Saint, you alone cannot stop us. Don't waste time."

The Medicine Saint remained silent. Indeed, she alone could not stop the Source Ancestor and the God King. If she were to obstruct them, she herself would be in danger.

The Dragon Saint was previously hunted down by the God King and has not shown up since; he has vanished without a trace. They have had no chance to try and find out anything about him afterward.

"Everyone, if what Haotian said is true, your actions in breaking through the Immortal Gate, and if you truly attract that Ancient Demon, wouldn't that bring a catastrophe to Heavenly Realms?"

The Medicine Saint gazed at the assembled sages and spoke.

"Don't be intimidated by Haotian. What Ancient Demon? If there really is Ancient Demon Cataclysm, surely we can handle it together? He's been living there alone for over ten years. How strong can that Ancient Demon be?"

"That's right. Besides, if things really turn out badly, we can just come back."

The other Sage immediately spoke up.

"Just one glance to see if it's real or fake. If it's real, then so be it. But if it's fake, then this chance to become an immortal will be missed!"

"Haotian only stayed there for twelve short years, yet he became so powerful. Aren't you tempted?"

As the saints spoke one after another, the Source Ancestor said to the Medicine Saint:

"Move aside, don't waste time."

Seeing the growing aura emanating from him and the God King, the Medicine Saint paused for a moment, then stepped aside.

"If what he said is true, you all must return as soon as possible!"

The Medicine Saint gazed intently and said.

But no one responded to her. As she stepped aside, the Source Ancestor and the God King rushed into the Ancient Hall.

The formation set up by the Medicine Saint was easily broken by the Source Ancestor with a wave of his hand.

He was the oldest Sage in cultivation. Over the long Years, his cultivation repeatedly reached bottlenecks. He had plenty of time to cultivate and study other things, including alchemy, weapon crafting, and formations, and he dabbled in all of them, cultivating them to the highest level.

Among Heavenly Realms, besides being the strongest in combat, he is also top-notch in other aspects. However, his other skills cannot enhance or amplify his strength.

But when it comes to being the most comprehensive, no one can surpass it.

As the formation collapsed, Source Ancestor and the others returned to the rift in the Starry Sky.

Whoosh!

Source Ancestor raised his hand and beckoned, and the Saint Infant flew out from his sleeve.

"Try to see if you can get into that crevice."

"This is what Source Ancestor said."

The Saint Infant nodded. At this moment, he felt no fear towards the saints; on the contrary, he was extremely obedient.

As he approached the door, his hair quickly turned silver, and he gently touched the doorframe.

His physical body was festering and tearing apart; this was the damage caused by his Immortal Transformation.

He has not yet condensed the Three Immortalities Extreme Realm, so if he were to achieve the Ultimate Transformation to Immortality, he could only maintain it for a very brief moment.

But the Source Ancestor had already devised a solution: to use the Divine Medicine he had accumulated to help heal his physical body.

Some of these Divine Medicine can temporarily activate the body, increasing its self-healing ability a hundredfold, but afterwards they will reduce one's lifespan by nearly half!

As the Saint Infant's blood splattered and its skin cracked, its appearance became horrifying.

However, the power within him grew stronger and stronger, and there was also a trace of ethereal power.

Soon, the Saint Infant reached the edge of the Ultimate Transformation to Immortality. His palm seemed to become ethereal, disappearing into the Heaven and Earth, and at the same time, he touched the gap in the door.

However, the gap was blocked by a force that seemed to have solidified and solidified, while he was currently in a misty state and could not destroy it.

He tried several times, but all attempts ended in failure.

He could only withdraw from the Immortal Transformation, and his injuries were healing rapidly.

"This place is blocked; I can't break through it. You might need to destroy what's in the gap."

The Saint Infant turned to the Source Ancestor and spoke.

Upon hearing this, the saints' expressions changed, and some of them immediately began to curse angrily.

"That Haotian is too despicable; he has indeed sealed off the Immortal Road!"

"They won't let us in and they even blocked the road! That's outrageous!"

The Source Ancestor and the God King exchanged a glance, and the God King's Path, "I'll give it a try."

As he spoke, he took his sword and approached the door, his gaze fixed on the patterns on it, faintly sensing a faint Aura emanating from a certain spot.

It must be at that gap.

He suddenly drew his sword, unleashing the power of the Extreme Dao God Realm, his entire body engulfed in black Blazing Flame, and he slashed out with his sword.

Bang!

A surge of Sword Qi enveloped the area, instantly slashing down on the door.

The Aura at the breach was burned away by the Black Flame, Aura quickly weakened.

Li Hao used a portion of his own flesh and blood to plug the gap, but the amount was too small. Although it contained a trace of Immortal Power, it was not enough to withstand the attack of God King at the Extreme Dao God Realm, and cracks quickly appeared.

Then, as the Black Flame continued to burn, the gap was gradually revealed.

However, even with the bodies of the God King and the Source Ancestor, they could not pass Past this gap.

Even if they turned themselves into blood, they could not penetrate it.

"That thing is gone."

The Saint Infant sensed this situation and immediately spoke.

Upon hearing this, the God King sheathed his sword, a hint of disdain in his eyes. Such methods?

Meanwhile, in the Cloud Radiance Realm.

Inside a private room in a top-tier Restaurant.

Li Hao, who was eating and drinking with Ji Xuanshen, Zhan Tan and others, suddenly changed his expression and Pause, holding the wine cup to his lips.

"Um?"

Night Ancestor, standing beside him, looked at Li Hao with a puzzled expression.

Li Hao's expression changed; he felt that part of his flesh disappear.

Could it be Ancient Demon on the Ancient Road who has found the Mysterious Female Gate?

His good mood vanished instantly. He stood up immediately and said to everyone, "There's trouble on the Immortal Road. I need to go take a look. You all continue."

Without saying goodbye, he vanished in a flash.

Everyone was stunned, exchanging bewildered glances.

"Is there a problem with the Immortal Road?"

"I have a bad feeling about this."

Li Hao sped along, traversing the rift between Heaven and Earth, heading towards the Ancient Hall at full speed.

However, the Cloud Radiance Realm is very far from the Ancient Hall, spanning almost half of the Land of Myriad Heavens.

Inside the Ancient Hall, as Li Hao traveled at full speed.

As the gap in the pattern was broken, the Saint Infant Immortal Transformation once more, attempting to extend its body into the gap, and succeeded immediately.

"It can do it!"

The Saint Infant immediately spoke.

All the Sacred Capital showed expressions of joy. The Source Ancestor breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "The thing that blocked the gap was the work of Haotian. He might sense it, so we must act quickly."

The Saint Infant nodded, revealing the Heaven and Earth Space. Sacred Capital quickly entered it.

They were all Sage, and even within the Saint Infant's Heaven and Earth Space, the other party could not harm them.

Soon, as the saints entered the Heaven and Earth Space, the Saint Infant Immortal Transformation once more and entered the gap.

As he crawled inside, the Medicine Saint arrived at the spot, stood before the crack, and looked at the ancient gate in the Starry Sky. His brows were furrowed, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

Soon, the Saint Infant entered the gap.

After a long, dark passage, light finally appeared ahead.

Just like Li Hao had traveled through time, the Saint Infant leaped into the light, and its vision suddenly became clear.

But what appeared before them was an ugly, charred stone.

The Saint Infant was somewhat surprised, but all the saints within his Heaven and Earth Rift Space could sense the situation outside and immediately broke free from his Heaven and Earth Space.

"Um?"

The Source Ancestor was the first to step out, and immediately sensed that this Heaven and Earth was vastly different from the Lands of the Saints.

A heavy, immense power permeated the Heaven and Earth, but he was unable to absorb or refine it.

Without a doubt, that was Immortal Power.

But besides that, a strange wave of malice surged within him, causing him to frown.

But in front of them, large chunks of rock blocked the way.

Instead of rashly knocking the stones away, he extended his Divine Sense and was quickly startled to see a figure sitting cross-legged in another crevice – it was Li Hao!

"You..."

Just as Source Ancestor was about to become wary, he realized that this Li Hao seemed to be merely an avatar of Li Hao, not his True Form.

He breathed a slight sigh of relief, then looked around.

Before him lay a desolate canyon, not the Mortal World paradise he had imagined.

This surprised him somewhat, but he thought to himself that perhaps this was just Immortal Road, not the Immortal Realm. Only after leaving the canyon and reaching the true Immortal-Divine Land would he see the true nature of this world.

While the Source Ancestor was observing, the other Sage were also surveying the surroundings and discovered traces of Li Hao's Dark Side Clone.

"This is the Immortal Road?"

"It seems different from what we imagined."

"How desolate! However, the power here is indeed different from that in our Sacred Land. If I could absorb it, I feel I could become Immortal Deity!"

"Our cultivation methods may not be able to condense this kind of power; only by becoming a disciple of the Immortal Sect can we achieve it."

The Sacred Capital whispering among themselves.

At this moment, Li Hao's Dark Side Clone also opened its eyes and noticed the group of uninvited guests.

"Is this an avatar of the Lord Haotian? He's truly cunning, actually leaving an avatar here to guard it, probably to prevent other Immortal Deity from coming here and discovering the exit of our realm."

"Once we deal with his clones, let's go find a way out."

"Gentlemen, I have a feeling something's not right here. It's best to be careful."

"That's right."

Among the saints, apart from some who were extremely Anger with Li Hao, there were also Sage had already vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

Source Ancestor didn't speak, nor did he intend to pay attention to Li Hao's clone; he simply walked towards the canyon.

But Li Hao's Dark Side Clone flashed in front of him.

Source Ancestor's face darkened, and he said, "Get out of the way."

The Dark Side Clone remained silent, merely holding a broken sword in its hand, coldly watching him.

"They actually dare to stop us? They're courting death!"

Upon seeing Li Hao's clone, a Sage was enraged and immediately attacked, striking at Li Hao's clone with a palm.

The Dark Side Clone, under attack, suddenly drew its sword. The Sword Light flashed out swiftly, like a shadow, instantly shattering the opponent's attack. At the same time, the broken sword was unleashed, slicing through the Sage's body like Moonlight.

"What a powerful weapon!"

The saints were greatly surprised, never expecting that Li Hao, even as an avatar, would be so terrifying.

The one who just made the move was Three Tribulations Saint, yet his physical body was easily cleaved open and his Saint Domain. This is rather unbelievable.

Source Ancestor's gaze also fell on the broken sword, and he could tell that the sword was somewhat terrifying and did not seem to be Dao Weapon.

Immortal Artifact...

Source Ancestor's eyes flickered slightly, a glint of light flashing within them. Even though it was Immortal Artifact that had lost its power, it was still an extremely precious item.

Before he could make a move, a flash of fire appeared beside him, and the God King had already charged out, slashing at the Dark Side Clone.

Black flames swirled around his sword as he unleashed the power of the Extreme Dao God Realm, revealing a vast and chilling Aura, and slashed out with his sword.

Bang! The Sword Light shattered Li Hao's Dao Domain.

Since the Dark Side Clone only inherited one-third of Li Hao's True Form power, it had neither the Extreme Realm nor the Terminal Realm power.

For example, Dao Domain requires 360 layers to become Eternal Dao Domain, but Dark Side Clone only requires 120 layers.

Nevertheless, the Primordial Spirit of the Dark Side Clone also inherited one-third of Li Hao's Primordial Spirit power, making it stronger than other Sage.

The broken sword suddenly slashed out with incredible speed. As the Black Flame Sword Light the Dark Side Clone, the broken sword also pierced through the God King's armor, splitting his body in two.

Both of their bodies were torn apart. Li Hao's entire body was engulfed in Divine Flame, and his wounds could not heal, as the Ultimate Dao Power was constantly destroying them.

The God King's body healed in the blink of an eye. He was Anger, never expecting that he, a dignified God King, would be injured to such an extent by Li Hao's avatar.

As he swung his sword repeatedly, more and more black Blazing Flame covered the Dark Side Clone, which burned fiercely.

"As expected of God King, this Ultimate Dao Power is indeed domineering."

"That incarnation of Haotian is even more terrifying to me. It's just an incarnation, yet it was able to withstand the attack for so long."

"He cultivates Immortal Method, so naturally he has such abilities."

The saints gazed intently at this scene.

Just as the Dark Side Clone was about to be killed by the God King, suddenly, a whooshing sound rapidly broke through the Void.

The Dark Side Clone suddenly looked up in that direction, then disregarded the God King's attack and unleashed a slash with the Broken Sword.

But the broken sword was knocked down by the Source Ancestor's attack halfway through its flight. At the same time, he released a Sacred Dao power that enveloped the broken sword, snatching it from the Mastery of the Dark Side Clone.

You're good at finding bargains.

The God King's expression turned cold, and he turned to stare at the Source Ancestor.

Source Ancestor held the broken sword, but looked at him calmly. With Immortal Artifact in hand, this sword had just easily cleaved through God King. Now that it was in his hands, he could do the same.

Before the two could continue their argument, a whooshing sound drew closer, reaching the range of the saints' Divine Senses.

What is that?

When a Sage saw this, his pupils contracted and his eyes showed horror.

"That, that looks like Ancient Demon!"

"That's right, it's the Ancient Demon that Haotian reflected before!"

"Is this for real? Could it be Immortal Gate Demon Beast summoned by Haotian's avatar?"

Some of the Sage showed surprise in their eyes, while others still believed that Li Hao was behind it all, Anger appeared in their eyes.

"Quickly, kill this thing!"

When Source Ancestor and the God King saw the Ancient Demon, their expressions changed simultaneously. They couldn't determine whether Li Hao had summoned it, but Li Hao's previous words had left a trace in their minds. The desolate scene before them, coupled with the Ancient Demon, made Li Hao's words even clearer at this moment.

If what Li Hao said is true, and if this place is exposed, the entire Heavenly Realms will face a great calamity!

Source Ancestor and the God King acted swiftly, with Source Ancestor attacking even more vigorously. He had just seized the weapon from Li Hao's Clone, and he could tell that the other party seemed to be trying to kill this Ancient Demon, but he had stopped him.

Therefore, this Ancient Demon couldn't have been summoned by Li Hao, so it could only be...

This is the worst possible outcome!

Bang!

With the intervention of the Source Ancestor, the God King, and other Sage, the Ancient Demon was quickly struck by numerous attacks and fell to the ground.

The Source Ancestor and the God King quickly charged out, but this Ancient Demon possessed extremely strong healing abilities. Although their attacks destroyed its body, it healed in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, the Ancient Demon released a cloud of Black Mist that spread outwards from itself.

The saints thought it was just Demon Art, so they charged in with their weapons, only to be horrified to find that the Primordial Spirit power on their weapons was being rapidly corroded, causing a burning pain to their souls!

"What... what kind of attack is this?"

The saints were shocked and hurriedly withdrew their weapons, instead using their Saint Domain domains to compress the Black Mist and bring it closer to the Ancient Demon.

However, when the Saint Domain touched the Black Mist, the Primordial Spirit power within was also burned.

This Black Mist was like a branding iron, untouchable.

Source Ancestor's expression turned ugly. He suddenly raised his hand and summoned his Dao Tribulation Emperor Weapon. Thunder Light flashed in the Void, and terrifying Tribulation Power emanated from it. The number one Dao Weapon in Heavenly Realms shone with majesty and brilliance at this moment.

Bang!

The Suppression Heaven Whip lashed out, tearing a gap in the Black Mist before slamming fiercely into the Ancient Demon, ripping its physical body apart and cleaving its Primordial Spirit in two.

The Tribulation Power on the Suppression Heaven Whip tore apart the Ancient Demon's Primordial Spirit, but the Ancient Demon's Primordial Spirit was extremely strong, and although it was severely injured, it did not die on the spot.

This shocked the Source Ancestor, who lashed out with his whip again and again. Several lashes fell in succession, and at the same time, the God King's sword also slashed out. The two of them joined forces and launched a series of fierce attacks before finally killing the Ancient Demon.

As the Ancient Demon's Primordial Spirit shattered, its physical body was also torn to pieces.

Source Ancestor and the God King exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise and doubt in each other's eyes.

Haotian had previously said that even the weakest of these Ancient Demon was comparable to Supreme Saint, and they hadn't quite believed it before, but now they had truly witnessed it.

Moreover, it seemed even more troublesome than the Supreme Saint. They could sense that this Ancient Demon's Primordial Spirit was extremely strong. If their weapons were not powerful enough, they would probably be locked in a stalemate.

"This place doesn't seem to be the Immortal-Divine Land we imagined."

The God King said with a grim expression.

Source Ancestor's face was extremely pale, and he felt his heart pounding and convulsing. Had all his years of searching been nothing but a dream?

Could it be that the Immortal-Divine Land has truly been occupied by this Ancient Demon, as Li Hao said?

He looked up into the distance, hoping to find answers in the heavens, but the Heavenly Dao order here was too distant to respond to him.

Not only that, he saw that even more dark figures seemed to be gathering in the sky.

Source Ancestor's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, "This is bad! Quick, go back!"

The other Sage were still somewhat stunned; their Divine Sense were suppressed here, preventing them from seeing any further.

But the anxiety revealed in Source Ancestor's words made everyone's hearts sink.

They came here despite Li Hao's advice, wanting to verify it with their own eyes, but now they already sensed something was wrong.

Soon, the sound of air being torn apart came; the Ancient Demon were incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen of Ancient Demon leaped across the canyon and rushed towards this place.

They are extremely sensitive to the Aura of other races, and with so many saints, they are as dazzling as fireflies in the night.

Now that things have come to this, how could the Source Ancestor not know that these Ancient Demons were not summoned by Li Hao, and that what Li Hao said in front of the Immortal Gate was true?

This Immortal-Divine Land is indeed teeming with Ancient Demon!

Moreover, this thing is extremely terrifying!

Escape!

The Source Ancestor and the God King were the first to turn and flee.

As they turned back to the Mysterious Female Gate, they saw Li Hao's Clone, who had been attacked by the God King and was covered in black Blazing Flame and wounds, charging towards the group of Ancient Demon.

This scene stunned both the Source Ancestor and the God King, leaving them feeling shocked and their expressions turning even more grim.

Source Ancestor gripped the broken sword in his hand, and for the first time felt that the sword was so heavy and hot.

His face flushed, and seeing that some of the Sage were still in a daze, he hurriedly roared, "Quickly, come back!"

The other Sage also saw the dozen or so Ancient Demon that had entered their line of sight, and they were all horrified. Hearing the roar of the Source Ancestor, they quickly gathered around him.

"These Ancient Demon are actually real!"

A Sage muttered to himself, his eyes somewhat blank.

"Look! Haotian's clone is actually charging Past those Ancient Demons!"

He's going to die!

The saints saw that Haotian's avatar was charging towards more than a dozen Ancient Demon, showing no fear of death.

However, the clone was now unarmed and could only rely on the Sword Qi it condensed. But when the Sword Qi struck the Ancient Demon, it became noticeably slower and failed to kill the Ancient Demon.

Soon, the clone was surrounded by the Ancient Demon.

The saints were all shocked by this sight, never expecting that even at this moment, the opponent's clone would still be so determined to fight.

Compared to that clone, they felt an unspeakable shame and utter disgrace.

"Walk!"

The Source Ancestor urged the Saint Infant to hurry.

The Saint Infant was also somewhat flustered and hurriedly unfolded the Heaven and Earth Space, with the Source Ancestor and the God King flying into it first.

The other saints, realizing what was happening, quickly followed suit.

Then, the Saint Infant Ultimate Transformation to Immortality and slipped through the gap in the door.

Even within the Saint Infant's Heaven and Earth Space, the saints could still see the outside world. The last thing they saw was Li Hao's clone being torn apart by the Ancient Demon, who then chased after them.

Whoosh!

After passing through the dark passage, a moment later, they returned to the Starry Sky through the gap.

Before me stands that ancient gate, which has stood for countless Years.

The Saint Infant was pale, his body Immortal Transformation in wounds from the ascension to immortality, bleeding profusely, and his lifespan greatly reduced.

All the saints emerged from their respective Heaven and Earth Space and descended into the Starry Sky.

Seeing this familiar Starry Sky, the saints felt a sense of unease, as if they had been startled.

The ferocious appearance of those Ancient Demon was exactly the same as the one Li Hao had reflected. It was already extremely difficult to kill just one Ancient Demon before, but now that more than a dozen had gathered, if they were surrounded, they would inevitably suffer casualties.

"How... how could this be?"

"That Immortal Deity World, such a thing really exists; he didn't make it up."

"So what Haotian said was true? His avatar over there wasn't to block the Immortal Road, but to guard that place?"

"No wonder when we passed Past, the surrounding rocks were piled up, concealing the Immortal Gate. So he was protecting us, hiding the Immortal Gate. What he said was true!"

Fear flashed in the eyes of the saints. The thought of seeing Li Hao's avatar still fearlessly charging towards the Ancient Demon and being torn apart made them feel as if they were being slapped hard across the face, burning with pain.

We've committed a terrible disaster!

The Mo Family Supreme Saint looked grim. He had been somewhat disappointed in the young man earlier, but now he realized that the other party was probably even more disappointed in him.

Moreover, compared to these issues, the more serious problem at present is that their Aura has been exposed, attracting those Ancient Demons and causing the Immortal Gate to appear to be exposed as well.

This is why Li Hao previously blocked them, refusing to even let them take a look.

It turns out that one can indeed see the signs of trouble...

The Mo Family Supreme Saint felt a bitter taste in his mouth and looked at the Source Ancestor.

Both the Source Ancestor and the God King looked extremely grim, realizing the gravity of the situation.

If the Ancient Demon are real, then the calamity is real. Li Hao said that once the Ancient Demon are alarmed, their numbers will be enormous. If they break through the Immortal Gate in front of us... then the entire Heavenly Realms will fall!

"You..."

As the saints' faces turned grim, the Medicine Saint, who was waiting at the crevice, was stunned to see them return. He quickly noticed their expressions and his heart skipped a beat, knowing that something terrible had happened!

Facing the Medicine Saint, the saints felt their faces burning with shame as they recalled their earlier words to her. But they couldn't care less about their remorse at this moment. Compared to this, the impending catastrophe filled them with boundless regret.

"Is what he said true? Then wouldn't that mean...?"

The Medicine Saint immediately rushed to the Source Ancestor and stared intently at him.

Source Ancestor involuntarily avoided his gaze and said, "That place is full of Ancient Demon. The Immortal Deity World... is indeed just a dream for us. Now the Ancient Demon have already sensed this Immortal Gate. I wonder if the Immortal Gate can stop them."

The Medicine Saint's expression changed, Anger rising in her beautiful eyes. She swept her gaze over the others, her eyes revealing Anger, but now that things had come to this, she knew that scolding them would be useless.

Before she could say anything, the Saint Infant beside her suddenly shouted:

"Oh no, something's gotten in!"

"What?!"

The saints were startled, for they saw a dark Aura emanating from one of the Immortal Gate. The black aura grew thicker and thicker, eventually condensing into the shape of an Ancient Demon in the Void.

"How so!"

Source Ancestor's expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "Quickly, kill it!"

As they spoke, they took the initiative and attacked the Ancient Demon.

The God King, disregarding everything else, swiftly drew his sword and charged out.

All the Sacred Capital had experienced the power of that Ancient Demon firsthand, and in their shock, they hastily joined forces.

The Law Saint and the Name Saint also acted swiftly.

As the Saint Domain and attacks rained down, the Ancient Demon that had just crawled in was killed on the spot by the combined power of the God King, the Source Ancestor, and all the saints before it could even unleash its innate Secret Method.

This Ancient Demon was only at the third tier, comparable to Supreme Saint, but it could not withstand the combined attack of the Source Ancestor, the God King, and all the saints, and was killed in one round.

Seeing the Ancient Demon fall, all the Sacred Capital breathed a sigh of relief.

The Saint Infant, however, kept his eyes fixed on the Immortal Gate and said, "There's more..."

The Source Ancestor's expression was grim. He asked the Saint Infant, "Can it be blocked?"

"I can't stop it..."

The Saint Infant was pale and shook his head.

What are you doing?!

Suddenly, an Anger voice rang out.

The saints felt a tremor run through their bodies, a tension gripping them. They were all too familiar with that voice. In the past, its appearance would have only aroused their Anger, but now it filled them with shame and a sense of not daring to look directly at it.

Li Hao sprinted at full speed and finally arrived at the place, where he saw the saints in the cracked Starry Sky, as well as the Ancient Demon Corpse.

His face immediately turned ugly and Anger.

"Haotian..."

Upon seeing Li Hao arrive, Source Ancestor turned around, his expression somewhat ashamed, and said, "We were wrong before. You've come at the right time. Can you close this gap again?"

Li Hao strode over, and when the saints saw Li Hao imposing appearance, they did not feel the Anger of being looked down upon as usual. Instead, they all made way for him, some even afraid to look at him. However, upon hearing the words of the Source Ancestor, a glimmer of hope rose in their hearts.

When Li Hao arrived in front of the Source Ancestor, he saw the broken sword in his hand, and his expression changed, suddenly becoming several degrees colder.

He gave the sword to his Dark Side Clone, instructing the Dark Side Clone to guard the Mysterious Female Gate. The Dark Side Clone could only execute his commands but could not share his memories.

But the sword in Source Ancestor's hand made Li Hao realize what they had done.

"You guys are really great!"

Li Hao said through gritted teeth, each word distinct.

Source Ancestor noticed Li Hao's gaze and, feeling guilty, quickly handed the sword in his hand to Li Hao: "This is the sword of your clone. I... I will make it up to you with something else. The overall situation is more important now, so I hope you won't hold it against me."

Li Hao pulled his sword back, glared at him fiercely, and said, "What will you use to make amends? Can you give me what I want? Now that you've caused this trouble, you can all prepare to become this Ancient Demon's food!"

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, the Source Ancestor's expression changed, and all the Saints were shocked and enraged. The God King said in a deep voice:

"Tell me whatever you want, just close the gap first, otherwise it'll only get more complicated."

"That's right, Haotian, even if we're in the wrong, if you want to blame us, let's plug the hole first."

"If we don't block it, that Ancient Demon will come in again."

The saints also quickly offered their advice.

Li Hao almost laughed when he heard this, and said, "Do you think you can just plug this gap as you please? Fine, I can plug it, but didn't you open it up again after I did?"

Source Ancestor and the God King felt somewhat embarrassed after being rebuked by Li Hao, but they did not refute him.

All the Sacred Capital shocked and enraged. The Yin Yang School Supreme Saint stepped forward and said:

"Lord Haotian, we are all willing to apologize to you. Please close the breach first, and then we can talk things out."

Li Hao looked at him coldly, giving him no attitude whatsoever, and said:

"Can't you understand me? The breach I sealed could be opened by you, so are the Ancient Demon outside inferior to you? Couldn't they open it?!"

Upon hearing this, all the Sacred Capital were stunned, only then realizing the gravity of the situation.

Li Hao continued, "I blocked the gap earlier only to prevent the Aura from leaking out. I used my clone to guard the outside. If any wandering Ancient Demon come and are detected as having traces of the Mysterious Female Gate, my clone will kill them in time. Otherwise, do you think that simply blocking the gap is enough?"

"Once this door is found, the Ancient Demon will definitely try to attack!"

"Now Past you've attracted the Ancient Demon, they've already discovered the door. What's the point of blocking this gap?"

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, the saints turned pale. Indeed, if they could break through the gap that Li Hao had previously blocked, the Ancient Demon could do the same; there was no point in blocking it again.

"Are we just supposed to wait to die?"

"How about we fight our way out? There are only a dozen or so Ancient Demon. If we wipe them all out, the news won't leak out."

A Sage hurriedly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Li Hao's expression changed, and he exclaimed in shock and anger, "A dozen or so?"

Seeing Li Hao's Anger expression, the Sage's heart trembled, and his imposing aura immediately weakened. He said, "Yes, is there a big problem?"

Source Ancestor and the God King also kept a close eye on Li Hao.

Li Hao said with a cold expression, "Even if a dozen or so Ancient Demon are dispatched and all of them die, their leader will still find them by following their trail and the scent they left behind. By then, there will be hundreds of them!"

"Several hundred..."

The saints felt a sudden jolt in their hearts and a sensation of difficulty breathing.

It took them so much effort to kill just one Ancient Demon; hundreds... it's unimaginable.

Seeing their expressions, Li Hao, completely disregarding their feelings, sneered:

"A few hundred is still a small number; it's just one leader. If there were Ancient Demon Commander here, I don't know if the Immortal Gate could hold them off. If they can't, then not only you, but the entire Heavenly Realms will fall."

These words made the saints' faces turn even paler.

Source Ancestor clenched his fists, his palms sweating profusely. He stared intently at Li Hao and said, "You must have a way to deal with this, right?"

Li Hao glanced at the ancient gate shrouded in Black Mist, knowing that an Ancient Demon was sneaking in. Too lazy to look any further, he turned and said:

"The only solution I can think of right now is to take my friends and find a place to hide. Whether we can hide or not, I don't know."

As he spoke, he turned to leave.

Source Ancestor hurriedly caught up with Li Hao and stopped him, his face unusually showing impatience and anxiety, and said:

"Lord Haotian, we were wrong before, and we have apologized to you. Afterwards, whatever request you make, we will do our best to fulfill it if it is within our power. But could you please, for the sake of the countless innocent people in the Heavenly Realms, help them even if not for ourselves?"

Whom to help?

Li Hao paused, a mocking smile playing on his lips, and said, "Help those who insult me by calling me selfish?"

Upon hearing this, the Source Ancestor and the other saints all looked rather grim. They had previously incited Heavenly Realms Believer to smear Li Hao, hoping to put pressure on Li Hao and expose his hypocritical compassion. However, they had ended up shooting themselves in the foot.

"That's all our fault. They're innocent. You can't be so selfish."

Source Ancestor gritted his teeth and said.

Li Hao sneered and said, "I happen to have a habit: the more people criticize me, the more I like to agree with them. They say I'm selfish, well then I'll show you how selfish I can be. You're the ones who chose this path."

"Lord Haotian, please don't provoke all living beings in the Heavenly Realms, okay? We're begging you," a Sage hurriedly said.

Li Hao glanced at the Sage and said coldly:

"Sulking? I already said that you're gambling with Myriad Races of All Heavens. Who told me that Heavenly Realms fall, you can bear the responsibility?"

The saints dared not meet Li Hao's gaze and averted their eyes in shame.

Among the crowd, even the Sage who had previously claimed responsibility lowered his head, wishing he could bury his head at his feet.

Seeing their appearance, Li Hao scoffed and said:

"Besides, you think I'm just being stubborn? Now you think I'm Divine Ability- powerful and can solve anything? Let me tell you, even if I forgive you now and want to resolve things, it's impossible! You'll have to pay for the mess you've made with your lives!"

With that, he pushed aside his Source Ancestor and walked forward.

Source Ancestor was pushed aside by Li Hao, but he did not fight back. At this moment, it was pointless to fight with Li Hao.

As he approached the entrance to the crevice, Li Hao thought of the Medicine Saint and turned to say:

"Do you want to seek refuge along the way?"

The Medicine Saint was stunned. She had also wanted to say a few words of advice to Li Hao. Although she was also very angry that the Source Ancestor and the others had caused such a big disaster, she ultimately did not want to sit idly by for the sake of the common people.

But Li Hao's words made her realize that Li Hao seemed to be at a loss as well.

"Um."

She nodded, thinking of her many disciples and followers who had suffered such a calamity; at the very least, she should preserve some of their spirit.

Roar!

As soon as the Medicine Saint left, the black mist gathered by the door and instantly transformed into the shape of an Ancient Demon.

Upon seeing the Ancient Demon enter, the saints' expressions changed, and they immediately became as if facing a formidable enemy.

The Source Ancestor and the God King also quickly took a step forward, intending to make a move.

When Li Hao saw the Ancient Demon he hadn't seen in so long, his eyes turned cold. Seeing it pounce on the Medicine Saint, he instantly unleashed the broken sword he had just snatched from the Source Ancestor.

Bang!

In an instant, the broken sword, like a flash of light, pierced through the Ancient Demon's body, killing it physically.

At the same time, Li Hao's Primordial Spirit suddenly unleashed a Sword Qi, cleaving and annihilating the stunned Primordial Spirit of the Ancient Demon.

After doing all this, Li Hao raised his hand and summoned the Ancient Demon along with the Ancient Demon Corpse on the ground, storing them in his Heaven and Earth Space. Then, he waved slightly to the Medicine Saint, turned around, and left without looking back.
