"Lord Haotian, we will fully cooperate with you to slay the Ancient Demon. We will do as you please, and we hope you can forgive us for what we have done!"

The School of Names Saint hurriedly spoke to Li Hao, his expression sincere.

"That's right, the Heavenly General doomed. It is because of our past mistakes. We hope that the Lord Haotian will give us a chance to make amends."

The other Sage also spoke up.

"This is True Immortal- level Ancient Demon, a true Immortal Deity. I am merely One-Calamity Saint. Why do you all think I have a way to deal with it?"

Li Hao looked around, paused for a moment, and then spoke.

All the Sacred Capital stunned, their expressions immediately becoming complicated. The Mo Family Saint said bitterly:

"Lord Haotian, you are the only one in Heavenly Realms who has a chance now. If you are unwilling to take the risk, we will respect your wishes. You are right, this is True Immortal -level Ancient Demon, the gap is too great. Even if we all fight to the death, we may not be able to shake it in the slightest. If you are not confident, you can leave and seek refuge to preserve your embers."

Upon hearing his words, several of the Sage hesitated, but ultimately held back and remained silent.

Li Hao sighed inwardly. He was no longer in the mood to blame them for causing the trouble earlier. It was all in the Past, and there was no point in bringing it up again. With the Descent this True Immortal- level Ancient Demon, no one in the Heavenly Realms could stop it.

I can only try my best.

Li Hao said.

If it were Ancient Demon Commander, he would turn and leave without hesitation. But he had previously Cooking and analyzed the body of Ancient Demon True Immortal. If he had the chance, he might have had a chance to kill him.

Although the hope is slim, if we retreat now, the Heavenly Realms and the Mortal World behind us will be reduced to purgatory.

Moreover, the Source Ancestor and the God King won't last long. When the True Immortal comes to pursue them, his Primordial Spirit power may not be able to hide the entire Sacred Land. It can only buy the Sacred Land time to take refuge and hide on the God Sun.

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, the saints couldn't help but show their joy. The Law Saint stared intently at Li Hao and asked, "Lord Haotian, how confident are you?"

One percent!

Li Hao told the truth.

Upon hearing this, the saints 'Sacred Capital changed slightly, their eyes filled with sorrow. However, they also knew that it was, after all, True Immortal- level Ancient Demon, and even a one percent chance was extremely rare.

"The fact that the Lord Haotian is willing to risk his life to accompany us truly shames us."

The Sage looked deeply saddened, and Li Hao's magnanimity made him feel even more ashamed and regretful about what he had done before.

The other Sage also wore bitter expressions, feeling utterly defeated by Li Hao.

If it were them, they probably wouldn't have had the courage, and they might not have forgiven.

"Heroes emerge in times of crisis, Lord Haotian. Tell us how you want us to cooperate. Even if it means we have to charge into battle to our deaths and cover you, we will not hesitate."

The School of Names Saint spoke earnestly to Li Hao.

Li Hao nodded, then his expression suddenly changed as he looked towards the Ancient Hall.

He vaguely sensed that an Aura had locked onto their Void.

That Ancient Demon at the True Immortal level should have already dealt with the Source Ancestor and the God King. Although they had cultivated to the God Realm, they were no different from newborn babies in front of True Immortal.

Li Hao took a deep breath, immediately manifested his avatar, and rushed to the Sacred Land.

At the same time, he looked at the saints. With their cooperation, this battle could be considered to have gathered the strongest lineup in the entire Heavenly Realms.

If we still cannot resist, all the Heavenly Realms will be plunged into darkness, and we will be forced to flee in humiliation.

"That Ancient Demon has noticed us. Prepare for battle."

Li Hao said in a deep voice, "I'll take the lead in the attack. You guys just need to play your part and support me."

"It's chasing us?"

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, the expressions of all the saints changed, and they couldn't help but look towards the Ancient Hall with trepidation.

"Leave the matters of warfare to the Military Saint. Tell me, what are our plans?"

The Mo Family Supreme Saint looked at the Military Saint.

Next to the Military Saint is the Primal Beginning Saint. They both come from the Cloud Radiance Realm. After Li Hao destroyed the Void Sacred Land, only the Primal Beginning Holy Land and the Military Strategists Sacred Land remained in the Cloud Radiance Realm and Mist Realm.

The Military Saint appeared to be an old man, dressed in an earth-yellow jacket. His expression was extremely calm, and knowing that time was of the essence, he quickly said:

"Gentlemen, the Ancient Demon's Black Mist covers an extremely large area and can corrode the Primordial Spirit. The ability of a True Immortal- level Ancient Demon will only be stronger! Even if we attack it together, we will only be quickly annihilated, which is meaningless. We can only entrust our power to the Lord Haotian. Time is of the essence, and there is no time to prepare a meticulous grand formation. However, I have a sacred formation that I have been working on for many years. It depends on whether you are willing to cooperate."

"Go ahead and say it!"

The School of Names Saint urged him hastily.

"That's the All Saints Heavenly Circulation Formation, which requires the cooperation of 108 Sage. This formation can combine 30% of the power of all the sages and concentrate it on one person!"

The Military Saint's words were astonishingly profound.

Upon hearing his words, all the Sacred Capital shocked and stared at him in astonishment.

Such a Military Formation?!

Although the Military Saint said it was a combination of 30% power, how terrifying would it be if the combined power of hundreds of Sages were 30%? Even if it were just a hundred One-Calamity Saint forming an array, they would probably be able to contend with, or even suppress and defeat, the Source Ancestor God King!

Such Military Formation was something they had never heard of before.

"Are you confident? I've never heard you mention this kind of Military Formation before?"

A Sage couldn't help but ask.

I've simulated it myself thousands of times, and it's only failed twice!

The Military Saint said in a low voice, "This Military Formation is forbidden by the Heavenly Realms. You have naturally never heard of it, otherwise it would be a forbidden technique. I don't want to end up like God King."

Upon hearing his words, the saints' expressions changed slightly. Indeed, whoever controlled such a terrifying Military Formation would rule the Heavenly Realms. If this Military Formation were exposed, not to mention the difficulty of gathering hundreds of Sages, if the news were to leak out during the process, it would surely be suppressed by the Supreme Saint.

"Let's get into position quickly!"

The Yin Yang School Supreme Saint urged hurriedly.

The Military Saint nodded and immediately began to deploy his troops.

Li Hao hadn't expected the other party to have such a thing; indeed, All Heavens Saints had their own hidden treasures.

The sages moved with lightning speed. Following the Military Saint's formation, the Mo Family Supreme Saint selected 108 Sage, ranked from highest to lowest cultivation level.

As the saints took their positions in the Military Formation, a golden light array rose from the Void, its core locked onto Li Hao. The Sage, like golden divine rainbows, converged on Li Hao.

Li Hao immediately felt streams of Sacred Dao power surging into his own Sacred Dao. In his sea of consciousness, projections of various saints seemed to appear, standing in the Military Formation, transmitting their power like a rainbow.

This Military Formation is infused not only with the Sacred Power, but also with their Sacred Dao, which seem to have been passed down through generations.

Li Hao immediately felt his Soul Inheritance power rapidly increasing.

He inherited his soul from Heaven and Earth Soul Inheritance, and could Soul Condensation 360 times. He had previously broken this limit and crossed the Extreme Realm, but now he was soaring even faster Past the direction beyond the Extreme Realm.

Li Hao thought of the Li Family's Soul-Breaking Method, which, having inherited the True Dragon and had the spirits of many ancestors Soul Condensation, could break through the original limits once again.

However, since their Soul Inheritance are all at the Four Establishments Realm, they can only Soul Condensation 80 times using their ancestors 'Soul Inheritance. Even if they break the 80-time limit and advance to the Dao Inquiry Realm Stage, they can only Soul Inheritance a little over a hundred times.

Now, the Military Formation of this Military Saint actually possesses the effect of this method, but the difference is that this is the Sages breaking through Li Hao's limits and the Sacred Dao Soul Condensation.

As the Military Formation moved, Li Hao's aura grew stronger and stronger.

At the same time, Li Hao sensed that the Aura from the Ancient Hall was becoming clearer and was rushing towards him at an astonishing speed.

"Watch out, he's coming!"

Li Hao reminded him, his expression solemn and ready for battle.

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, the Saint Heart tightened, and they all looked towards the Ancient Hall.

Meanwhile, Li Hao's avatar had already arrived at the Sacred Land.

"Haotian, is this an incarnation?"

As soon as Li Hao returned in his avatar, the anxiously waiting Medicine Saint and Sword Master quickly came out of the Sacred Land to greet him.

"Yes, the situation is terrible. A True Immortal- level Ancient Demon has infiltrated using special methods, which is beyond my expectations. We must evacuate immediately."

Li Hao, in his avatar, quickly said, "Immediately notify the Nine Provinces Immortal Island and explain the situation to them. They must be evacuated and take refuge immediately. Also, whoever is free, go to the mortal realm and bring back the Mortal World from the Nineteen Provinces of Great Yu. The Sacred Land may not be able to accommodate them all; see if there is any room left on the Nine Provinces Immortal Island."

He spoke rapidly, explaining the situation.

Upon hearing Li Hao's incarnation's words, both the Medicine Saint and the Sword Master were shocked. True Immortal- level Ancient Demon Descent?

There are no immortals in this world, yet now a True Immortal- level Ancient Demon Descent, which is tantamount to a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

"And what about your True Form?"

Feng Boping appeared instantly and hurriedly asked.

Li Hao, in his avatar, said in a deep voice, "The Source Ancestor and the God King have already sacrificed themselves. My True Form, together with the saints, is preparing for a desperate battle against that True Immortal- level Ancient Demon. If we win, Heavenly Realms will be safe; if we lose, you can go and seek refuge, which will also preserve the flame of life."

Upon hearing this, all of them turned deathly pale.

"Haotian, that's a True Immortal -level Ancient Demon. Are you confident in your abilities?"

Lie Heaven Saint rushed over and said hurriedly.

"I'm not confident, so I have to take the risk. Otherwise, the Sacred Land is so vast. Although my Primordial Spirit Sacred Land cover it and hide it, the area is too large. I can only guarantee that it won't be detected by Second Order Ancient Demon, but if it's True Immortal- level Ancient Demon, I'm not so sure," Li Hao said.

At this moment, many Half-Saint within the Sacred Land also heard their conversation and rushed over eagerly, looking up in awe.

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, both the Saint Mitian and the Medicine Saint fell silent. They knew that Li Hao was risking his life to buy them time to seek refuge.

"If you hide alone, even True Immortal- level Ancient Demon wouldn't be able to find you!"

The Sword Master stared intently at Li Hao.

Li Hao had previously stayed outside the Immortal Gate for twelve years, and he didn't believe that Li Hao couldn't evade the pursuit of True Immortal- level Ancient Demon.

Li Hao's avatar remained silent. If he were alone, he could indeed hide, and he could even use the Heaven and Earth Space to bring some people with him. However, the area of Heaven and Earth Space is limited, and compared with the Sacred Land, it can only protect far too few people.

The Feng Boping into silence. He knew Li Hao; the other party would never abandon his friend.

"I accompanied you in this Mortal World, and now, I'll accompany you one more time!"

Feng Boping spoke to Li Hao's avatar and then prepared to act.

Li Hao, in his avatar, reached out and grabbed his arm, saying in a deep voice, "Old Feng, I'm not confident in this battle. Please take good care of my friends."

Ji Xuanshen and the others rushed out from the crowd. The news of Li Hao's departure had spread throughout the Sacred Land, making everyone uneasy. Now, upon hearing Li Hao's words, Ji Xuanshen and the others widened their eyes, their eyes reddening.

They were the same age as Li Hao, or even older, but now they could only watch as their former rival, now friend, charged to the front lines, fighting for their lives.

Even if I'm not sure, I'm still determined to go.

Feng Boping tried to break free, but was startled to discover that Li Hao's avatar also possessed immense power.

"You stay and keep Second Master. He's already lost one fishing buddy, but he doesn't want to lose another one."

Li Hao's avatar swept across the crowd and spotted Li Muxiu looked anxious.

Li Muxiu has now Dao Inquiry Realm. Although Li Hao spoke softly, he still heard him, and his eyes immediately reddened.

He felt as if his heart was being torn apart, but he couldn't utter a word. Only when he needed to charge into battle did he realize how utterly powerless and desperate he felt!

Feng Boping felt a lump in his throat, his voice hoarse, and said, "Don't talk nonsense! You can't die! I won't allow it!"

Li Hao, feeling a mixture of amusement and sadness, said, "Old Feng, please take good care of them for me."

He then looked at the Saint Mitian and the Medicine Saint, and said, "Nine Provinces Immortal Island, you two should contact each other as soon as possible. We will fight with all our might later, and this avatar will dissipate."

"At top speed!"

He confessed.

The Saint Mitian nodded silently. Although he had only spent a short time with Li Hao, they had become chess partners. In addition, Li Hao had helped him refine pills. He greatly admired this young junior, but now, all he felt was sorrow.

Among the crowd, the Li Family members stared blankly at this scene, with He Jianlan, Li Wushuang, Li Yuanzhao, and others already in tears.

They never imagined that their recent meeting with Li Hao would end so soon, and that it might be a final farewell.

"Hao'er, why is your life so bitter?" He Jianlan's face was covered in tears, feeling sad for the boy in the sky.

Why should you bear this burden?

Hearing her sorrowful Whispers, Li Tiangang and Ji Qingqing beside him trembled, their fingers involuntarily clenching.

Behind them, Li Pingan stared blankly at the boy under everyone's gaze.

Li Hao, in his avatar, quickly explained the situation, then suddenly his expression hardened, and he said in a low voice, "I must now focus entirely on the battle. Everyone, you must seek refuge as soon as possible and not waste the time I and the saints have bought for you!"

After speaking, his figure slowly disappeared.

"Haotian!"

"Hao Ge!"

Many people were speechless when they saw Li Hao disappear like smoke and dust.

The Saint Mitian and the Medicine Saint were the first to calm down and take action. One of them went ahead, while the other activated the Sacred Land to move closer to the Nine Provinces Immortal Island.

Feng Boping was slightly stunned and lost in thought for a moment. Thinking of Li Hao's words, his eyes were complicated. He gave a few instructions and then casually tore open a rift, entering the Mortal World to relocate the people of Great Yu.

While they were all taking action, in the Void 500,000 miles Ancient Hall.

Li Hao and the other saints waited here. At this Void, apart from the 108 Sage in the Military Formation around Li Hao, the rest of the Sage hid in the Void Rift.

Whoosh!

With a whooshing sound, a terrifying pressure suddenly approached, and soon, a figure in the Void moved rapidly, closing in at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When the Ancient Demon's figure was within sight, Li Hao severed his Immortal Transformation power, his expression solemn as he stared intently at his opponent.

His aura was constantly rising and accumulating; his Extreme Realm Power was being activated.

He entered Divine Power State, his whole body radiating golden divine Divine Radiance. Then, he entered the Ultimate Transformation to Immortality, his hair turning silver-gray, and the tears in his body healed almost without any change thanks to the tenfold healing power of the Divine Power State. His consciousness merged with Heaven and Earth, Unity with this Heaven and Earth!

"They're here!"

The saints were tense, their faces grim, staring at the Ancient Demon that had appeared within the Immortal Gate.

The fact that the other party could come here means that the Source Ancestor and the God King have already perished.

The fact that two once supreme Sage, who once aweed the Heavenly Realms, have now passed away in the blink of an eye is a source of sorrow and grief.

"There are no True Immortal, just a group of Saint-Level?"

The True Immortal- level Ancient Demon looked down at Li Hao and the others, its eyes revealing a cruel killing intent. Its gaze fell on Li Hao, and compared to the other Saint-Level fireflies, the Primordial Spirit fluctuations and power emanating from this young man were as bright as the moon, far more terrifying than the two ants it had previously killed.

Fortunately, there are no True Immortal here, so it's not the worst-case scenario for it.

It wouldn't fear True Immortal, but if that True Immortal possessed Immortal Emperor Legacy Treasure, it would still be somewhat wary.

A brief silence fell over the Void.

They sized each other up. Li Hao didn't rush to attack. He wasn't confident in this battle, so he wanted to prolong the fight as much as possible.

But this silence Pause only a very short time. The next moment, a scarlet light appeared in the Ancient Demon's eyes. It stopped talking and had no intention of wasting words with such ants. It would just kill them all and then search their souls to know the situation of this world.

Unfortunately, the two ants from before were not the True Form; they lacked a soul and Origin, and were annihilated after being killed, giving it no chance to search.

With a low growl, the Ancient Demon swung its Sharp Claws and swept them towards Li Hao and the others, clearly intending to crush them all to death.

That seemingly simple attack, in the eyes of the saints, was Sharp Claws that cleaved the heavens, tearing apart countless Great Dao in the Void, carrying an unparalleled and terrifying power.

Is this the method of True Immortal?

The Great Dao, which they believed was indestructible, was now crumbling Destruction.

With just one strike, the glimmer of hope and Conviction that the saints had previously ignited flickered like a candle flame about to be extinguished.

A soaring light burst forth in Li Hao's eyes as he unleashed his full power, no longer holding back or concealing his strength.

The Immortal Power within him surged outwards, and combined with the Heaven and Earth Power attracted by his Ultimate Transformation to Immortality, a tangible Storm Cocoon Vortex seemed to form around his body.

As the Eternal Dao Domain appeared, the Void around Li Hao cracked open, and eight Incomplete Immortal Weapon emerged, shining brightly. Under the control of Li Hao's Primordial Spirit, they suddenly pierced through the gaps in the Ancient Demon's Sharp Claws.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

As the Void ripped apart, the terrifying wind pressure between the Sharp Claws was torn apart by the broken Incomplete Immortal Weapon, slashing straight at the Ancient Demon's weak side, attempting to use this as a starting point to tear apart its skin and dismantle its body.

As the Incomplete Immortal Weapon pierced through, its Sharp Claws also swung down, pressing down on Li Hao's head.

He roared as he channeled all his power, and Merit and Fame appeared in his palm. He raised his hand and unleashed a powerful sword strike.

This sword strike has the posture of Immortal Guides the Way, but its power is not like that of Immortal Guides the Way; it's more like an immortal slashing in anger!

Countless thunderbolts surged in the Void, and the Heaven and Earth and earth seemed to resound with thunderous fury.

That sword strike shook the heavens, causing all the power within a radius of ten thousand miles to surge up like a tidal wave, concentrating on the Sword-Ray and crashing into the Sharp Claws.

A terrifying sound shook the Heaven and Earth, causing them to rumble and tremble.

Irregular cracks appeared in the Void, Sword-Ray covered the entire Sharp Claws, actually lifting Sharp Claws off!

This terrifying impact left the saints hiding in the cracks of Heavenly Circuit feeling shocked. They stared in disbelief at the young man whose body was shimmering with Silver Thunder. Was that Li Hao's true strength?!

As the Sword-Ray blocked the Sharp Claws, the eight broken Incomplete Immortal Sword, under the control of Li Hao's Primordial Spirit, swiftly slashed at the Ancient Demon's side, producing a piercing sound. The sword blades cut through the Ancient Demon's skin, but felt as if they were embedded in Wooden Stake, creating a sense of stagnation.

Li Hao's expression changed drastically. He thought that if he could dismantle all eight Incomplete Immortal Swords at the same time, he could kill the body instantly.

However, since his Primordial Spirit was scattered across the eight Incomplete Immortal Swords, his power to Object Manipulation was also divided into eight parts, weakening it and making it impossible to pierce deep into flesh and blood.

At this moment, the Ancient Demon was also shocked. It was actually injured. As True Immortal, it was actually injured by a Saint-Level being. It was simply bizarre.

It let out a furious roar, revealing the true pressure of True Immortal. As its Immortal Power surged, the eight Incomplete Immortal Swords that had pierced its body were instantly blasted away, and even Li Hao's Primordial Spirit felt a violent shock.

The 108 Sage who formed Military Formation with him all felt a jolt in their Primordial Spirit. Although they would only suffer a very small amount of the impact, it still made them feel dizzy and lightheaded.

Seeing the Ancient Demon's revealed Immortal Power, Li Hao's expression became extremely solemn. His bones creaked and cracked, and the All Heavens Star Meridian behind him appeared. Brilliant Xingchen gathered and surrounded him, reflecting dazzling Starlight onto him and bringing a continuous stream of All Heavens Star Power.

Upon witnessing this scene, the saints were once again awestruck.

But Li Hao's actions were not over yet. His body was growing rapidly, revealing the Law, Heaven and Earth. From the size of an ordinary person, he suddenly grew to several thousand feet and even tens of thousands of feet!

At this point, Li Hao's size was already close to that of the Ancient Demon.

At the same time, the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form appeared behind Li Hao.

This Dharma Form Li Hao's "Law, Heaven and Earth," but the difference isn't as huge.

Strangely, around Li Hao's Dharma Form at this moment, there were projections of Saint Dharma Forms. However, those Saint Dharma Forms projections were only half the size of Li Hao's Dharma Form, but there were hundreds of them, filling the entire sky!

"That is... my Dharma Form?"

The saints in the Military Formation were horrified to discover that their own Dharma Form were being reflected by Li Hao and were surrounding Li Hao's Dharma Form.

Li Hao also noticed this, which was unexpected. What surprised him even more was that when he used the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form, the Myriad Saints Dharma Forms were revealed, bringing even more terrifying power.

"Is this the path to the Terminal Realm?"

Li Hao's eyes flashed, but he had no time to think about it anymore. He took a deep breath and used his last trump card: the Heavenly Dao Embryo formed by the fusion of the Three Saints Unity.

As this Heavenly Dao Embryo was released, the Ancient Demon before Li Hao also changed color slightly.

"Cut!"

Li Hao summoned back the eight Incomplete Immortal Swords, only summoning the sharpest one among them. He poured all his power into it, and the Sword Light suddenly increased dramatically. In an instant, it drew a crescent moon and pierced into the side of the Ancient Demon, so fast that even the primordial Primordial Spirit of the saints could not catch it.
