One Man Guarding All the Heavens
The sages all realized this as well, and their expressions instantly changed. The Immortal Gate had been breached; didn't this mean that the worst-case scenario Li Hao had described had occurred?
In that case, the entire Heavenly Realms... will be Destruction!
Upon thinking of this, the Saint Heart felt an indescribable mix of emotions: fear, regret, and heartache.
"No, it's not Immortal Gate; a very powerful Ancient Demon has infiltrated. It should be the Second Order Ancient Demon that Lord Haotian mentioned, and there's more than one!"
Seeing the changed expressions on the faces of the other saints, the Sage quickly caught his breath and said...
Second Order Ancient Demon?
Hearing this, Source Ancestor and the others felt a little relieved. Although Li Hao had said that Second Order Ancient Demon were more terrifying, there was still hope as long as the Immortal Gate was not destroyed.
"Walk."
Without hesitation, the Source Ancestor immediately led the saints there.
Soon, they arrived at the Ancient Hall in the Void, and as soon as they arrived, they felt a terrifying pressure emanating from within the Ancient Hall.
Source Ancestor's expression changed. Sensing the intense and Violence Sha Qi, he immediately knew that this was the commotion of a battle between God King, and a commotion that could only occur when they unleashed their true power in a fierce fight.
He quickly led his men in. Although he and the God King were enemies and both wanted to kill each other, he knew at this moment that without the other side, they would be unable to hold on alone. Unless someone could win Li Hao over as an ally, but Li Hao was a third party, and was on the opposite side of both of them.
Upon entering the Ancient Hall, navigating through a complex network of paths and side buildings, they soon arrived at the crack.
Outside the rift, three Ancient Demons were clashing with seven Sages, while inside the rift, a crimson light emanated, within which dark mist churned.
"Quick, help!"
Source Ancestor's expression changed drastically, somewhat shocked, never expecting that the Ancient Demon would actually manage to reach the outside of the rift.
You must understand that the opening in the Immortal Gate was narrow, so the Ancient Demon could only enter one at a time.
We'll kill them all as they come. As long as the Immortal Gate isn't breached, we can hold it no matter what.
But now, the appearance of so many Ancient Demons at once made him realize the seriousness of his loss of composure.
The saints all made their moves and quickly attacked the three Ancient Demons, while the Source Ancestor led several Supreme Saints, including the Law Saint, the Name Saint, and the Mo Family Saint, into the Starry Sky within the rift.
That intense crimson light, radiating Aura of Destruction, belonged to the realm of the God King.
At this moment, in his domain, the God King was disheveled, his armor was covered in blood, and he looked somewhat tired.
Before him stood three enormous Ancient Demon, swirling around the God King and constantly stirring up dark whirlwinds. These whirlwinds carried the power to devour Primordial Spirit and unleashed demonic blades that pierced into the God King's Saint Domain, leaving him struggling to defend himself.
Three?
Source Ancestor's expression changed. He sensed a deep-seated malevolence and majesty emanating from these three Ancient Demons. Were these the Second Order Ancient Demon that Li Hao had mentioned?
He immediately revealed his Origin Saint Domain, which enveloped the Starry Sky. Within his Saint Domain, time seemed to slow down.
What happened?
He hurriedly asked the God King.
Upon seeing their arrival, the God King breathed a sigh of relief, then said with a grim face, "A Second Order Ancient Demon has arrived, using its special Soul Devouring Mist to guard the breach. I couldn't break through, and the rest of the Ancient Demon took the opportunity to climb in."
Source Ancestor immediately understood that a mere Second Order Ancient Demon could actually clear a path.
"Be careful, they are much stronger than those Third Order Ancient Demons."
The God King whispered a reminder to the Law Saint and the others.
A third-tier ancient demon is comparable to a supreme saint, while the power of a second-tier ancient demon is already equivalent to that of a supreme saint.
"Kill them! We must stop them!"
The Source Ancestor's eyes were incredibly solemn. He took out the Suppression Heaven Whip and charged towards one of the Ancient Demon: "You two hold off the other one, I'll deal with this one!"
As he spoke, the Suppression Heaven Whip was swung, and a terrifying cracking sound echoed through the Void. The Black Mist surrounding the Ancient Demon was shattered by the sound, creating holes in it. Then, the whip pierced through and struck the Ancient Demon's head, tearing its skin and flesh open. The Tribulation Power at the wound prevented it from healing.
The Source Ancestor unleashed his full power, swiftly launching an attack.
The injured Second Order Ancient Demon was enraged, letting out a sharp cry. Black flames then appeared all over its body, and a vortex-like black shadow appeared behind it.
As the dark shadow spun, the intense suction force made the Source Ancestor feel as if his primordial Primordial Spirit had left his body, and the power of his Suppression Heaven Whip was greatly reduced.
He was shocked; it seemed that all of the Ancient Demon's methods could harm and affect the Primordial Spirit.
However, his primordial spirit had already reached its peak, and he also mastered some special methods of refining the spirit, which allowed his primordial spirit to be slightly enhanced even at its peak through primordial spirit mystic arts.
Bang!
The Source Ancestor suddenly erupted, his eyes flashing with cold jade light, his Primordial Spirit and body suddenly merging together, and he lashed out with a whip.
The Ancient Demon's body was torn apart, the Tribulation Power destroying it, preventing its physical body from healing.
Having just breathed a sigh of relief after his successful strike, Source Ancestor saw a large amount of Black Mist emanating from the torn body. The soul-devouring power emanating from that mist was as untouchable as putrid blood.
Roar!
At that moment, a deep roar echoed again from the breach in the Immortal Gate.
Immediately afterwards, a massive Second Order Ancient Demon flew out from the Black Mist.
Upon seeing the scene before it, the Ancient Demon roared and charged towards the Source Ancestor.
"This..."
The Source Ancestor's pupils contracted slightly.
In the Void.
After two days of working tirelessly, Li Hao finally completed the construction of the Sacred Land.
Li Hao was somewhat surprised that the Assembly of Saints hadn't come again yesterday, but they didn't show up. However, he didn't think much of it.
Now that the Sacred Land is complete, he released an avatar within Sacred Land, and then used the Panel Attributes to create Dark Side Clone as well.
He handed an Incomplete Immortal Sword to his Dark Side Clone, so that if they encountered Third Order Ancient Demon, the Dark Side Clone could also kill it.
After doing all this, Li Hao enveloped the entire Sacred Land with his Primordial Spirit, and then planned to go to the Mortal World to bring the people of the Great Yu Dynasty into the Sacred Land.
"Lord Haotian, something has happened."
Just as Li Hao was about to take action, the Medicine Saint suddenly found Li Hao, his expression somewhat grave. He said, "I just received news that several Small World have been attacked by Ancient Demon. I used the Thousand Faced Puppet that the Ink Saint once gave me to investigate the Ancient Hall, and on the way I just encountered the defeated Source Ancestor and the other saints."
"Ink Saint told me that the Ancient Hall has been occupied by the Ancient Demon, and the breach cannot be sealed. They have done their best."
Li Hao frowned, his mind racing, and asked, "Among those Ancient Demons, are there any that are even larger?"
The Medicine Saint nodded and said, "The Source Ancestor said that when they encountered the invasion of the Second Order Ancient Demon you mentioned, they couldn't stop them and lost the initiative. Seven or eight Sages have already perished. Now they are fleeing here and hope that we can accept them without holding grudges."
"If our positions were reversed, they might not accept us."
Li Hao sneered, extremely dissatisfied with the saints. He said, "Even if they are Second Order Ancient Demon, if they do their best to block the breach, they can still block it. Those Second Order Ancient Demon can only come in one by one, and we'll kill them one by one! I already told them before that Second Order Ancient Demon are terrifying, but they still only left a portion of their people to guard the breach, while the rest were busy running around aimlessly. In the end, they don't know the pain until they suffer a loss!"
Upon hearing this, the Medicine Saint sighed inwardly. Heavenly Source, the Ancestor and the other sages were trying to find refuge with Li Hao, and had no intention of resolving this matter at all.
However, she could understand that the problem was unsolvable, but there was always a price to pay for doing wrong.
However, it is the people of the Heavenly Realms who suffer.
Seeing the hesitant look on the Medicine Saint's face, Li Hao guessed that she had finally softened her heart. He didn't say anything, only saying:
"They're coming, there must be Ancient Demon chasing them, right?"
The Medicine Saint immediately understood Li Hao's meaning, and the soft spot in his heart vanished instantly. He nodded and said, "That's right, I used the Thousand Faced Puppet to investigate. There's Ancient Demon chasing after us."
"They came seeking help, but instead brought disaster upon themselves."
Li Hao shook his head slightly. He was already utterly disappointed in them, so he remained unmoved at this moment.
He withdrew his Primordial Spirit from the Saint Mountain, then stood high in the sky above Saint Mountain summit, asked the Medicine Saint to indicate the location, and then waited quietly.
The Medicine Saint was somewhat surprised by Li Hao's actions. He had thought that Li Hao would turn around and leave after hearing these words, but he did not expect him to stay.
"You want to help them?"
The Medicine Saint couldn't help but ask.
Even as she realized the intentions of the saints and the Source Ancestor, she felt an urge to turn away, but Li Hao stopped instead.
"Sparing their lives might still leave them with some use."
Li Hao only said...
Before long, a group of figures were seen tearing through the cracks in the Heaven and Earth and moving over.
At this moment, the Sword Master also sensed the Aura of the Saints, and with a flicker of his figure, he arrived beside Li Hao at the Mountain Summit.
"Them..."
As soon as the Sword Master spoke, he saw the gloomy Void behind the saints, with rolling Dark Clouds sweeping over, and his expression changed.
Li Hao didn't speak, but slowly walked out of the Saint Mountain.
At this moment, the Source Ancestor and the God King at the forefront also saw Li Hao's figure and immediately quickened their Movement Method.
"Lord Haotian, those are Second Order Ancient Demon behind us. We can't stop them alone. Let's join forces!"
As soon as Source Ancestor saw Li Hao, he quickly said something.
His expression was anxious, but his mind was clear. He knew that Li Hao would see through his act of leading these Ancient Demon here, and he was worried that Li Hao would be angry. Therefore, he pretended that he only wanted to borrow some of Li Hao's power to join forces to kill the demons.
Unlike the Source Ancestor, the God King didn't enjoy acting and was too lazy to pretend. He simply kept a close eye on Li Hao, waiting to see Li Hao's reaction.
Li Hao's gaze swept over them, and the Law Saint and the Supreme Saint Name Saint behind them also looked somewhat disheveled.
The Aura of the other Sage fluctuated, and Sage were even listless and seriously injured.
Roar!
At that moment, the Ancient Demon's roar reverberated through the air.
The entire Void trembled slightly, as if endless thunderbolts were converging upon it.
The people resting on the Saint Mountain were all alarmed. They looked in horror toward the source of the sound and saw Li Hao and the other saints, as well as the Ancient Demon that were constantly approaching from behind them.
There were a great many of these Ancient Demons, more than a dozen in total, with four Second Order Ancient Demon leading the way.
Such a spectacle darkened the entire sky. The intense malice and the oppressive force emanating from the soul made everyone on the Saint Mountain feel their pores tighten, their hearts chilled, and a coldness shooting from the soles of their feet straight to the top of their heads.
"What... what kind of monster is that?"
"That's my Ancient Demon; I've seen him before."
"Are those Ancient Demon hunting down the saints? How did they end up leading these Demon here?"
The people on the Saint Mountain were terrified.
They knew their purpose in coming here was to escape the Ancient Demon that were about to invade the Heavenly Realms, but they never expected that the Ancient Demon would arrive with them at the same time as the saints.
At this moment, as more than a dozen Ancient Demon drew closer, the cruelty and violence in the eyes of the four Second Order Ancient Demons at the head of the group suddenly turned serious.
They vaguely sensed a figure in the crowd ahead, whose soul power was extremely dense, completely different from the others around him.
"Join forces?"
Upon hearing Source Ancestor's words, Li Hao's lips curled into a mocking smile.
Source Ancestor and the other saints felt their hearts sink, thinking that Li Hao was unwilling to agree.
"Lord Haotian..."
Before the Source Ancestor could speak again, Li Hao interrupted him, saying indifferently, "I'll handle these Ancient Demons, but this is the last time I'll clean up your mess. After the Ancient Demon are killed, you guys better keep blocking that breach. If you let any more Ancient Demon in, no one can save you!"
Source Ancestor and the others were stunned, wondering if they had misheard. Li Hao was actually willing to take action.
They were somewhat surprised. The gazes of the saints towards Li Hao shifted from grief and indignation to excitement in an instant, and they felt a sense of shame. Only now did they realize that this young man was indeed not a despicable person, just as the Sword Master and the Medicine Saint had said.
"Lord Haotian, these Ancient Demons are extremely terrifying, especially those Second Order Ancient Demon you mentioned. Even I and the God King find them troublesome. Let's join forces!"
Source Ancestor's face showed visible excitement as he hurriedly spoke to Li Hao, his words filled with enthusiasm and sincerity.
But Li Hao ignored the emotions on his face. This old fox could only show what he was really thinking; what he actually thought was another matter entirely.
But Li Hao had no intention of probing his true thoughts; he simply walked away.
Source Ancestor and the God King were slightly taken aback and involuntarily stepped aside.
At this moment, the Ancient Demon had slowed down and arrived in front of the saints.
They did not attack rashly as before, because they sensed a subtle threat from the boy in the crowd.
They devour souls and have an extremely keen sense of them; they could also detect the dangerous Aura emanating from the boy.
However, they also had a feeling that if they could absorb the boy's soul, they might undergo a great transformation and improvement, and might even be able to break through to the First-Order Leader Realm.
At this moment, the saints also noticed the change in these Ancient Demons. Unlike the Anger and madness they displayed when fighting them, they saw solemnity and fear in the eyes of these Ancient Demons.
The saints doubted whether it was their imagination and were somewhat shocked.
The clamorous wind in the Void seemed to quiet down a bit at this moment.
"Lord Haotian..."
Source Ancestor wanted to speak again.
However, Void Rift appeared around Li Hao, and then, broken immortal Immortal Artifact extended from the rifts.
After the Red Tassel Spear Woman killed the Ancient Demon Commander, Li Hao and Nangong Jian swept through the territories of those Ancient Demon Leader and found a total of eight broken immortal Immortal Weapon. All of them had exhausted their Immortal Power, but the weapons themselves still retained sharp immortal blades.
Including the Broken Blade, there are nine in total.
At this moment, one of them is in the hands of the Dark Side Clone.
Li Hao only summoned six swords, which was enough to deal with the small force of a dozen or so Ancient Demon.
These ancient and broken immortal Immortal Weapon spun around Li Hao like a roulette wheel. He seemed to be the destined master of Heaven and Earth, with an aura that could suppress the Heaven and Earth. The saints around him seemed to have become insignificant background walls. Only he stood in front of more than a dozen huge Ancient Demon. Compared to their ant-like bodies, he radiated a dazzling Divine Radiance and aura.
This scene left countless people who had taken refuge on the Saint Mountain stunned.
"Hao Ge!"
"Hao'er!"
The Li Family members also witnessed this scene, and they all covered their mouths, their eyes filled with shock.
At this moment, the Ancient Demon also sensed that the dangerous Aura emanating from Li Hao was growing stronger and stronger. Finally, unable to restrain itself, it roared and charged towards Li Hao.
As the dark, Soul Devouring Mist spread, black hole-like vortexes appeared behind the Ancient Demon, radiating a terrifying devouring power.
The saints felt their Primordial Spirit within their bodies teetering on the brink of collapse, as if they were about to burst forth and be sucked into the vortex.
However, the six Incomplete Immortal Weapons that were rotating around Li Hao suddenly shot out.
The familiar feeling of skillfully dissecting the Ancient Demon's body flashed through Li Hao's mind. In an instant, driven by his Primordial Spirit, the Immortal Weapon burst forth with extreme speed, instantly leaving behind streaks of light.
The Void here is not as Solidification as the True Realm. Wherever the Immortal Weapon passed, the crowd's eyes could not follow the weapons, but they could see black streaks left in the Void.
As the black marks appeared, the Ancient Demon's body exploded.
His physical body instantly stiffened, as if struck by billions of volts of electricity, becoming rigid in an instant. Then, a Primordial Spirit shimmering with black energy emanated from the Ancient Demon's body.
Before the Ancient Demon's Primordial Spirit could react, Li Hao's Primordial Spirit had already risen from the top of his head, like a Heaven and Earth deity bursting out from the boy's body, radiating golden light, and attacked the Ancient Demon's body.
"His... his Primordial Spirit is golden?"
The saints couldn't see Li Hao's Primordial Spirit clearly because it was too fast, but they could see that the Primordial Spirit was radiating golden light, which shocked them all.
Moreover, they sensed a terrifying soul pressure emanating from Li Hao's Primordial Spirit, a pressure that far surpassed their own Extreme Realm Primordial Spirit!
Bang!
As Li Hao's primordial Primordial Spirit charged out, the four Second Order Ancient Demons were the first to be hit and shattered by Li Hao's Primordial Spirit with a hand chop.
Then a golden arc of light flashed and entered the Primordial Spirit of the Third Order Ancient Demon. In the blink of an eye, the arc of light ended, and the Primordial Spirit of the Ancient Demon exploded and dissipated.
The Heaven and Earth was completely silent.
The Ancient Demon's roar, as if it had come yesterday, now seemed utterly unreal.
Li Hao raised his hand, and as the six Incomplete Immortal Sword returned to their places one after another, he retrieved them into the Heaven and Earth Space. At this time, the saints gradually came back to their senses.
But looking at the dozen or so Ancient Demon that were already stiff and Aura in the Void, the saints were dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief and shock.
Although I had seen Li Hao instantly kill a Third Order Ancient Demon in the Ancient Hall before, I thought it was Li Hao unleashing his full power. I never expected that at this moment, with a wave of his hand, Li Hao would also kill more than a dozen Ancient Demon in an instant. It all happened too fast.
Source Ancestor and the God King were somewhat stunned. Although they had expected Li Hao to be strong, they hadn't anticipated that he would be this terrifying.
That golden Primordial Spirit was unforgettable in their minds.
Li Hao raised his hand and successively collected the dozen or so Ancient Demon in the Void into his own Heaven and Earth Space.
In the blink of an eye, the previously oppressive Void Dark Clouds cleared up, and the hideous Ancient Demon Corpse vanished.
On the Saint Mountain, everyone stared in disbelief at this scene. Those terrifying Ancient Demon were actually killed by Lord Haotian in the blink of an eye; it was simply too unbelievable.
"Now, you should return to that Ancient Hall and continue to fulfill your duties to make amends for your mistakes."
Li Hao turned around and coldly addressed the assembled saints and the Source Ancestor.
Source Ancestor came to his senses and finally understood why Li Hao had refused his earlier suggestion to join forces.
Li Hao didn't need their help at all to deal with these Ancient Demons.
After a slight Pause, Source Ancestor's face immediately lit up with excitement as he said to Li Hao, "Lord Haotian, if you possess such strength, we wouldn't need to seek refuge at all; this Ancient Demon simply wouldn't be able to break in!"
Li Hao's eyes turned cold as he said, "Didn't I make it clear before? These are only Second Order Ancient Demon. If their leader is First Order Ancient Demon, even I would have to give way. That's a genuine True Immortal- level existence. Furthermore, they have an even more terrifying leader behind them, an existence that could even destroy Immortal Gate!"
Upon hearing Li Hao's words, everyone felt as if they had been doused with cold water, and immediately calmed down.
"Is it really impossible? Is there really no way?"
A Sage said in a trembling voice.
Li Hao glanced at them and said indifferently, "If you still consider yourselves saints, then take responsibility. The only way is to plug the breach and wait for reinforcements from the immortal army outside. If they come, we can all be saved. If they don't, even I might perish with you."
Hearing Li Hao's words, all the Sacred Capital looked sorrowful, filled with regret for breaking the Immortal Road to immortality, but time could not be reversed.
"Go on, don't waste time here."
Li Hao waved his hand.
The expressions of the Source Ancestor and the God King changed. After a long silence, the Source Ancestor said in a low voice, "We will bear the consequences of our mistakes. Everyone, let's go!"
Seeing that even the Source Ancestor had bowed his head, the other saints said nothing. Many of Sage already knew in their hearts that if the Heavenly Realms were to suffer a calamity, this might be the only thing they could do for the Heavenly Realms before they died.
To slow the pace of the Heavenly Realms' decline.
"Lord Haotian, if you were to personally go and plug the breach..."
A Sage whispered.
Before he could finish speaking, he felt many Sage around him looking at him, but their eyes were no longer agreeable as before; instead, they revealed a hint of indifference.
Li Hao glanced coldly at the Sage and said, "If you're going to block the Immortal Gate, you must be prepared to die. If the Ancient Demon Commander can destroy the Immortal Gate, the first to die will be those who blocked Immortal Gate. I'll block it, so what about you?"
The Sage's face turned grim; he lowered his head and remained silent.
"Lord Haotian, don't be angry. He doesn't represent our thoughts. You're right, this is our mistake, and we should bear the consequences ourselves."
"That's right, if a catastrophe truly comes, then it is our Destiny."
The other Sage spoke to Li Hao.
Since the destruction of the Immortal Gate and the events that have occurred, many of the Sage among them have come to understand the situation.
The desire to become an immortal has transformed into a hope for survival, but that hope has been shattered. Now, all he hopes to do is to perform good deeds one last time, so as not to let down the people Heavenly Realms once believed in him.
Source Ancestor bid farewell to Li Hao and then led the saints away.
"Senior Brother..."
The Sword Saint glanced at the Sword Master beside the Medicine Saint. He was also one of the Saints, and at this moment, he could only return to fulfill his mission of blocking the Immortal Gate.
Once, at the Sacred Land of their Master's inheritance, a sword and a talisman were offered to them for selection.
The talisman is Saint Talisman, capable of governing the Sword Ancestor Sacred Land.
He chose the talisman, while his Senior Brother chose the sword.
He then inherited his Master's Sword Dao, while his Senior Brother developed his Sword Dao.
Now, faced with yet another choice, he once again embarks on a different path from his Senior Brother, this time perhaps a final farewell.
The Sword Master looked at the Sword Saint with a complex expression in his eyes, but said nothing, only expressing regret and sigh.
As the Source Ancestor, the God King, and the saints departed, Li Hao withdrew his gaze and turned back to the Sacred Land.
The Medicine Saint had a complex expression in her eyes. She hadn't expected Li Hao to be so terrifying; no wonder he had been able to live Immortal Gate for twelve years.
"If they weren't so stubborn, with your Heavenly Talent, if you had cultivated to become an immortal, this world wouldn't be in its current state."
The Medicine Saint sighed.
Li Hao shook his head. The past cannot be reversed, and there's no point in talking about it anymore.
"You two should look after this Sacred Land for now. It seems there are Ancient Demon attacking other areas, and it appears that more than just these have escaped. I'll go and deal with them first."
Li Hao said to the two of them.
The Medicine Saint was slightly taken aback. She had previously received Intelligence that many Small World had indeed been attacked by Ancient Demon, but she hadn't expected that Li Hao also knew about it.
Be careful.
The Medicine Saint gave his instructions.
But after saying that, he felt that his words seemed a bit superfluous, and he couldn't help but smile at Li Hao.
Li Hao bid farewell to the Sword Master beside him, then turned and left.
He could see that other worlds were being attacked by Ancient Demon because he saw the Incense decreasing significantly, indicating that many of his followers had suffered calamities.
The saints were chased here by more than a dozen Ancient Demon, and the Immortal Gate was unable to guard them. Inevitably, more Ancient Demon came to the Heavenly Realms during this time.
Whoosh!
Li Hao flew out, his mind merging with Heaven and Earth, sensing the vague will of the Heavenly Dao. He then deduced through the secrets of heaven and quickly received a call and guidance.
He immediately went to the nearest Small World.
Upon arriving at this place, Li Hao immediately smelled the familiar scent of Ancient Demon.
Having consumed tens of thousands of Ancient Demons, Li Hao was intimately familiar with Ancient Demon scent.
In a certain Divine Dynasty within this Small World.
Dark Clouds loomed overhead as the colossal figure of the Ancient Demon swept across the sky, its Soul Devouring Domain sweeping over the cities and land below. In an instant, the Divine Soul of countless people within the cities were extracted, causing them to perish on the spot. The lower-level Demon and wild beasts in the wilderness also had their souls extracted and collapsed to the ground.
Where the Ancient Demon flew, there was only deathly silence.
The Sage of this Small World have long since departed, and those remaining in the Sacred Land are all Half-Saint. Perhaps they are simply following the Sage's Hand Token, activating the Sacred Land's Magic Array to protect Sacred Land, but they have no ability to deal with the disasters in the Divine Dynasty.
"The Ancient Demon Descent! Run!"
"Help! Help!"
"Why did the saints let such a monster in? Who will save us?"
Will there be any Sage to show us mercy?
Within the Divine Dynasty, everywhere one could hear the cries of panicked fleeing.
Upon receiving the news, other neighboring Divine Dynasty also fled in panic and confusion, heading towards the Sacred Land.
However, a large number of people had already gathered outside the Sacred Land, but they were blocked by the Sacred Land's Magic Array and could not enter.
"Let us in! Let us in!"
"Our Fufeng Kingdom has worshipped your Wood Ancestor for many years, why won't you let us in?"
"Sage are not benevolent! Sage are not benevolent!"
A huge crowd had gathered in Magic Array, all wailing and cursing.
Inside the Magic Array, most of the disciples from these Sacred Land had their Lineage rooted in the Divine Dynasty. However, the Sacred Land had strictly ordered a blockade, so they could only watch helplessly as their Lineage's Divine Dynasty was isolated and cursed from the outside. They could only watch all this with mixed feelings, powerless to do anything.
"The Sage is going to slay the Ancient Demon. Everyone, retreat and return to your own Divine Dynasty, or you will be killed without mercy!"
Within the Sacred Land, a Half-Saint stepped forward and roared sternly.
They were worried that if these people gathered, they would attract the Ancient Demon, and then they would all be doomed.
Upon hearing the dignified yet ruthless voice of the Half-Saint, the people gathered outside were filled with both fear and Anger. Perhaps due to their large numbers, their fear was aroused by countless angry curses.
Upon seeing this, the Half-Saint from the Sacred Land also turned pale, gritting his teeth as he said:
"This is a final warning: retreat three thousand miles from the Sacred Land, or don't blame us for activating the holy array and killing without mercy!"
As he spoke, he summoned the many elders, and as the power of the Saint Dao Seed Sage Entry Array, the Holy Array radiated a majestic and vast light.
Under the oppressive power of this Sage, many people panicked, cursing angrily while turning away and fleeing with tears in their eyes.
While the people in front were fleeing, even more people were gathering from various Divine Dynasty behind them.
The princes and Princess who had sought refuge in the Divine Dynasty were sitting in luxurious carriages, but the carriages were overturned by the crowds, and they jumped out in a disheveled state, frightened by the dense crowds in front of them.
As the sacred array exerted its pressure, the crowd descended into chaos, and countless weak and uncultivated civilians were trampled to death on the spot, turned into minced meat.
Amidst the chaos, suddenly, accompanied by a long howl, a crack opened in the sky, from which dark mist emanated, and then the enormous, ferocious body of the Ancient Demon flew out.
In an instant, the fleeing crowds, along with the disciples of the Sacred Land and many Half-Saint within the holy formation, were all filled with terror.
As a cloud of Black Mist descended, people screamed in terror and collapsed to the ground, their souls being extracted.
Just as the Ancient Demon was about to wreak havoc, suddenly, an extreme beam of light streaked across the sky.
With a whoosh, the Ancient Demon's imposing body suddenly stiffened, and then a dark Primordial Spirit was forced out from its physical body.
Then, a golden light streaked in.
Bang!
The Ancient Demon's Primordial Spirit also stopped moving, and then its body exploded.
This scene stunned countless people on the ground. The intense, piercing screams of fear subsided considerably, leaving only a few terrified individuals still desperately trying to squeeze into the crowd, only to find that many people around them had stopped moving.
Then, countless excited voices roared:
"Sage! Sage has arrived!"
In the Void, Li Hao stepped out through the crack and casually retrieved his broken immortal Immortal Sword.
He glanced at the crowded people below and realized that the number of people who had been trampled to death by this tightly packed crowd was far greater than the number killed by the Ancient Demon in the brief appearance of the demon.
He couldn't help but shake his head slightly, but he didn't waste it, raising his hand to absorb the Ultimate Dao Power on the ground.
As countless streams of black energy gathered in his palm, Li Hao felt a slight increase in the Ultimate Dao Power within his body.
This scene looked like the work of Demon, but since Li Hao had just killed Ancient Demon, no one would associate Li Hao with Demon.
Many cultivators at the Dao Inquiry Realm and the Four Establishments Realm possessed powerful physiques. Upon seeing Li Hao's face, they excitedly shouted out his name.
"It's the Lord Haotian! The Lord Haotian has come to save us!"
"Lord Haotian, please save my daughter!"
"Lord Haotian..."
Amidst cries of grief, the crowd surged forward like waves, kneeling in worship before Li Hao.
The many Half-Saint within the Sacred Land were also shocked and hurriedly bowed to Li Hao. Reflected in the World Stone, the saints cleared Li Hao's name, and Li Hao's reputation reached its peak in the Heavenly Realms. After all, he had single-handedly blocked the saints in front of the Immortal Gate, and this courage shocked countless people.
Hearing these shouts, Li Hao felt a mix of excitement, surprise, and sorrowful prayers. He sighed inwardly, realizing how drastic the disaster had distorted human nature.
However, he still had other Ancient Demon in Small World to kill, so he obviously didn't have time to appease them here.
Li Hao raised his hand, and in an instant, a majestic mountain rose from the ground.
This earth-shaking power, which can be exerted with a mere gesture, inspires awe and excitement in countless people.
Li Hao brought the giant peak before him, and with the power of his Primordial Spirit Object Manipulation manipulate objects, he shaved the peak into a giant sword thousands of feet long.
Subsequently, Li Hao activated the attributes of his Universe Chart.
Previously in the Mortal World, he used the attributes of the Universe Chart on his Battle Flag, leaving his mark on Battle Flag, which could concentrate 50% of his power.
This mark can be used on any object, and Li Hao left it on the Great Sword Peak at that moment.
As the mark was applied, Li Hao used the Law Power to transform the mountain, making it difficult to destroy; at least the power of Half-Saint would be needed to shatter it.
Destroying the Great Sword Peak will activate the mark, unleashing a strike comparable to fifty percent of his power.
This attack, even without separating the Ancient Demon's physical body Primordial Spirit, is enough to forcibly kill Third Order Ancient Demon with 50% of its primordial Primordial Spirit power!
After the mark was made, Li Hao calmly said:
"This Sword Peak embodies my Sword Intent. If we encounter a desperate enemy again, I can destroy it to unleash my Sword Intent and kill the enemy. You should not use it lightly unless in dire circumstances!"
After saying that, he casually waved his hand, and the Great Sword Peak swept over the heads of countless people before landing next to the Saint Mountain.
The earth roared and the ground trembled.
The tremor passed beneath everyone's feet; they all felt it.
Although Li Hao's words were calm, they seemed to resonate in the minds of countless people, carrying a soul-stirring power.
In an instant, countless people were shocked, surprised, and excited, and the name of Haotian was shouted everywhere.
Li Hao didn't linger any longer. He turned around, stepped across the rift between Heaven and Earth, and disappeared before the eyes of millions of people.
Even after Li Hao disappeared, the many Half-Saint on the Sacred Land remained humble and respectful, not daring to raise their heads. Only after a long time did they slowly raise their heads and look at the spot where Li Hao had stood.
Once they were certain that Li Hao had truly vanished completely, their gazes turned to the distant Great Sword Peak.
At this moment, they could all see that the Great Sword Peak had been transformed by the Principle; the rocks and sand were all integrated, and the trees on it had been stripped away, making it resemble a divine Divine Sword forged naturally.
Outside the sacred formation, countless people continued to chant Li Hao's name and kowtow repeatedly.
On the other side, after Li Hao killed the Ancient Demon, he followed the Ancient Demon's scent and found the destroyed Divine Dynasty with corpses everywhere.
Li Hao didn't waste any time either, gathering and absorbing the remaining Ultimate Dao Power beside the corpse.
After absorbing all the Ultimate Dao Power from the slaughter of the Ancient Demon, Li Hao left this place and headed towards the next Small World.
On the way, Li Hao sensed that the Incense Power surging from the Void was even stronger than before.
