The Zhan Tian Clan
This sudden sound shattered the tense atmosphere that had been building up on the Sacred Land, like ice breaking instantly.
Feng Boping, the Sword Master, and the others were startled and turned to look at Li Hao.
When they saw Li Hao's figure, they were stunned. It was as if they had seen a light-year in an instant. It was like an illusion. They felt as if all sound had disappeared and their minds were buzzing.
The three True Immortal on the other side trembled and stared at Li Hao.
When they saw Li Hao's face clearly, they realized that he was a minor witness, and that was the face they were fighting over for the physical body.
However, at this moment, the Aura emanating from the other party was that of the True Immortal Realm, although only at the True Immortal Realm First Layer, but already having crossed that threshold.
At the same time, they noticed the old man beside Li Hao, who looked as simple as an old farmer, but what shocked them was that they could not sense the other party's cultivation level, and they also faintly felt a terrifying warning sign.
You're not dead?
The young man in silver helmet and rainbow robes had a slight change in expression. They had come here to recruit disciples and had already explored this world at the very beginning. They had even secretly captured some Dao Inquiry Realm at the Dao Enlightenment Realm and Half-Saint from Sacred Land, searching their souls and stealing their memories. They were already quite familiar with the situation in this world.
Therefore, they also knew that the owner of this physical body, Primordial Spirit had perished in this Forbidden Zone, was already beyond dead.
They had also explored that Forbidden Zone, but before they even got close, they sensed the presence of Immortal Dao Laws there, which brought a warning of danger, so they stopped.
They felt threatened even by True Immortal Capital, let alone Saint-Level, but now, the other party was standing alive right before their eyes.
"That is---the physical body of the Chaos Origin Divine Blood."
The middle-aged man in the center, who looked like True Immortal, had a dark light flash in his eyes. He recognized Li Hao's physical body, and his expression changed immediately.
What do I have to promise you?
Ignoring the three's reactions, Li Hao's eyes remained cold as he stared once more at the alluring woman in the Colorful Skirt.
Sensing Li Hao's sharp, piercing gaze, the elegant woman in the Colorful Skirt changed her expression, somewhat shocked and angry. Could someone at only the True Immortal Realm First Layer possess such power?
At the same time, Li Hao's questioning also stirred up a fire of anger in her heart.
"Now that you're back, let's leave it at that. We'll take our leave!"
Before the aloof woman in the Colorful Skirt could speak, the middle-aged True Immortal suddenly spoke.
With that, he bowed slightly, then prepared to leave with the two people beside him.
His reaction startled both the elegant woman in the Colorful Skirt and the young man in the silver helmet and rainbow robe.
Did I let you leave?
Li Hao's eyes turned cold, and his words were like nails. Accompanied by the constant pressure of his immortal Immortal Dao, the middle-aged True Immortal couldn't help but stop in his tracks.
"It's just a misunderstanding, please don't press the matter further."
The middle-aged True Immortal frowned, but his eyes glanced at Old Wang beside Li Hao.
What he was really worried about was this old man whose true intentions were unclear.
Li Hao didn't reply to the other party, but instead looked at Feng Boping and the Sword Master and the others.
At this moment, Feng Boping and the others also came to their senses, and Lin Qingying and the others on the ground also regained their mobility. The instant Li Hao appeared, he covered up the pressure of the three True Immortal, giving everyone in the Sacred Land a sense of relief.
"Haotian!"
In an instant, everyone became excited.
That familiar figure, that familiar face, is etched deep in my memory.
Whoosh!
Feng Boping appeared in front of Li Hao as if he had teleported, punched Li Hao on the shoulder, and then hugged him tightly, as if only in this way could he feel that everything was not an illusion, but real.
"You're not dead? I knew you were alive."
The old man made a sound that sounded like both crying and joy.
The Saint Mitian also came over, and seeing the Feng Boping subsided, a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.
In the other person, he seemed to see a shadow of someone he had failed to achieve back then.
Such genuine feelings—if he had shown them back then, perhaps there wouldn't have been so many years of separation.
Although they have now reconciled, a broken mirror can never be mended, and they can never go back to what they once were.
Feeling the warmth of the Old Feng, Li Hao's blood seemed to surge for a moment. From the Divine General Residence's Mansion to Heaven's Gate Pass, and now to the Land of Myriad Heavens, from the Buddhist Sect Sacred Land to now, this journey has been far too long.
The Feng Boping, but because he was there, the storm never truly subsided.
Li Hao felt a mix of emotions, including shame, guilt, joy, and gratitude.
He gently patted the other person's shoulder, the icy Chill in his eyes long gone, replaced by a relaxed smile, and said:
"If you knew I wouldn't die, why were you crying so bitterly?"
"Damn it, who's crying? This old man got sand in his eyes from your clothes."
Feng Boping punched Li Hao hard in the chest, but Li Hao's physique made it feel as light as cotton.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back---·--·"
The Sword Master's eyes showed a rare hint of surprise and excitement, but he remained relatively composed. However, Li Hao noticed that the hand holding the sword was trembling slightly.
Even in the heat of a life-or-death battle, his hand, which was as steady as his sword, trembled slightly at this moment.
Li Hao's eyes were filled with complex emotions. He suddenly felt that he was carrying a lot on his shoulders and bearing a heavy burden.
"Let me settle their matter first, then we can catch up properly."
Li Hao took a deep breath and addressed the crowd. He then raised his head, his eyes turning cold once more. He had just noticed that the wounds on the body of the Saint Mitian showed no signs of healing, as Immortal Power was gathering there, preventing them from healing.
Clearly, this was the work of the three True Immortal before us.
Upon hearing Li Hao's words, the middle-aged True Immortal's expression changed slightly, and the cold and beautiful woman in the Colorful Skirt also frowned, feeling Anger. However, the reaction of the steward beside her made her realize that something was wrong, and she could only suppress her anger.
"It was just a small misunderstanding. Your friend wasn't hurt. Consider these 100 Immortal Stone as our apology."
The middle-aged True Immortal took out a small cloth bag from his bosom and tossed it towards Li Hao.
Li Hao didn't move at all, and didn't even try to catch it. The small cloth bag fell down in a famous arc.
The middle-aged True Immortal's eyes turned slightly cold as he said in a low voice, "We come from the Xuan Zhan Sect. I am Zuo Chunqiu, a deacon of the Xuan Zhan Sect."
His revelation of his name signifies his final concession.
Li Hao's expression remained unchanged; he simply said coldly, "A mere deacon of a sect, only at the True Immortal Realm? It seems your Sect is nothing special after all."
Zuo Chunqiu said with a stern face, "Isn't that a bit too much of an argument? My Xuan Zhan Sect is a fourth-level Sect in the Southern Region the True Realm, and our Sect Master is Immortal Lord Realm expert. With only one realm difference, killing True Immortal is as easy as crushing an ant!"
Li Hao turned to look at Old Wang and asked, "Is that so?"
Old Wang seemed to understand Li Hao's thoughts and nodded very seriously:
"Hmm, I've sculpted Immortal Lord before, and it really does feel like sculpting an ant!"
Zuo Chunqiu and the other two were stunned, and couldn't help but look at Old Wang. What was with that tone?
Li Hao nodded slightly, then said nothing more. Suddenly, he unleashed his Immortal Power, and the Daoji Immortal Sword appeared in his palm.
Kill!
Li Hao's killing intent was transmitted to the Daoji Immortal Sword. The Daoji Sword Soul understood Li Hao's killing intent and, without hesitation, instantly unleashed a dazzling Sword-Ray, flying out of Li Hao's hand and shooting out as if by teleportation.
"You really dare to lay a hand on me?!"
"This isn't True Treasure- level weapon?"
All three were shocked. They hadn't expected Li Hao to suddenly unleash his murderous intent and attack them directly. At the same time, the pressure emanating from the immortal Immortal Sword made them tremble. It was definitely not True Treasure that True Immortal Realm could control.
"Run!"
Zuo Chunqiu reacted the fastest, immediately summoning two Dao Talisman and then two Immortal Weapons, one reflecting light like a mirror and the other spinning like a teapot.
As he unleashed his Immortal Weapon, he shouted "escape!" but suddenly shoved the silver-armored, rainbow-robed youth with his palm, while simultaneously pulling the elegant, cold-looking woman in Colorful Skirt back.
Caught off guard, the young man in silver helmet and shimmering robes was pushed forward, his face filled with shock. As they brushed past each other, he saw the resolute and ruthless look in the other's eyes and immediately understood. His eyes flashed with fear and Anger, and he roared, his silver helmet radiating Myriad Daos of Silver Light.
The aloof woman in the Colorful Skirt seemed surprised by Zuo Chunqiu's actions, but in the brief moment she was being pulled backward, she seemed to understand. The surprise in her eyes vanished, and she quickly summoned her Immortal Treasure to escape with Zuo Chunqiu.
She had previously Anger with Li Hao and wanted to fight him, but Zuo Chunqiu's behavior and what he said to the old farmer immediately made her realize that something was wrong.
All of this is a long story, but it all happened in the blink of an eye when Li Hao made his move.
Boom!
The Myriad Daos of Silver Light unleashed by the young man in the silver helmet and rainbow robe had not yet reached their peak before they were abruptly cut in half and vanished.
The Ji Immortal Sword pierced through his True Immortal body, cleaving him in two and tearing his Primordial Spirit apart. The wound could not heal, and his life Aura was rapidly fading away.
At the same time, after the Daoji Immortal Sword pierced through his body, it caught up with Zuo Chunqiu and the cold, beautiful woman in the Colorful Skirt in an instant, like lightning.
The outburst from the young man in the silver helmet and rainbow robe did not buy them any time.
"This is Immortal Weapon, a weapon that Immortal Lord Realm can wield!"
Zuo Chunqiu's pupils contracted; he had already recognized the grade of Li Hao's Immortal Sword, but it was too late.
Despair filled his eyes, and he roared, suddenly shoving the beautiful woman in the Colorful Skirt beside him in front of him, shouting:
"She is a descendant of the Zhan Tian Clan. If she dies here, the entire Heavenly Realms will suffer—"
Before he could finish speaking, the Ji Immortal Sword suddenly flashed slightly, grazing the throat of the cold and beautiful woman in the Colorful Skirt. Like lightning, it swept past and severed the neck of Zuo Chunqiu behind her, abruptly ending his words.
The Immortal Dao domain Principle on the Daoji completely disintegrated Zuo Chunqiu's own Immortal Dao power, even suppressing the regeneration of his Divine Blood, making it impossible to continue.
"You--."
Terror flashed in Zuo Chunqiu's eyes. Just as his head was about to fall off, he hurriedly grabbed it with his hands. He didn't die on the spot, but his Primordial Spirit and physical body were severed together, and he had already lost 70% of his fighting power.
"Don't kill me! I'll pay! Ten thousand, no, one hundred thousand Immortal Stone! I—"
Before he could finish speaking, at Li Hao's signal, the Daoji Immortal Sword pierced through his head, shredding his body in the process.
From the moment the young man in silver helmet and rainbow robe was cut in half at the waist to the moment Zuo Chunqiu was pulverized, only a breath had passed.
In an instant, only the elegant woman in the Colorful Skirt remained, standing there dumbfounded.
The Sacred Land site fell silent.
Everyone watched this scene in shock.
Just as they were excited about Li Hao's return, they had momentarily forgotten about the existence of these three True Immortal. However, with Li Hao's outburst, they became tense again. After all, although Li Hao had also reached the True Immortal Realm, his opponents were ultimately from the True Realm, and there were three of them, one of whom was a powerful True Immortal!
However, before they could even start to worry, the battle ended in the blink of an eye.
The three True Immortal who had previously dominated the entire Sacred Land were instantly killed by Li Hao's sword before they even had a chance to escape.
Five years later, the young man returned, not only becoming True Immortal, but also seemingly as invincible as ever in his realm!
Everyone was somewhat dazed.
At this moment, the most bewildered was the woman in the Colorful Skirt, who never expected that Zuo Chunqiu would be killed in an instant.
Before he died, he used her as a shield, and before she could even feel Anger and hatred, he was gone in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the cold and calm young man before her, the beautiful woman in the Colorful Skirt felt her body trembling uncontrollably. She never imagined that in this Pseudo-Realm where the Saint-Level was at the top, she would actually have the possibility of dying.
"I am from the Zhan Tian Clan. If you kill me, Heavenly Realms will be in turmoil, and my clan's powerful warriors will surely come to punish you. I can forget what happened today; I swear by my Immortal Seal!"
The aloof woman in the Colorful Skirt reacted, and quickly spoke, suppressing a trembling voice.
She feared that the other party was extremely reckless and might kill her casually as well.
Li Hao hadn't expected Ji to be so powerful; he didn't even need to lift a finger. He simply provided Ji with the necessary Immortal Power, and Ji easily killed him.
"The Zhan Tian Clan?"
Li Hao looked at Old Wang beside him. If he were alone, he wouldn't bother listening and would just kill him. But now that he was burdened with the Heavenly Realms, he had to consider their Heavenly Realms.
Old Wang's eyes held a hint of reminiscence as he softly said, "Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Catastrophe ago, the Zhan Tian Clan followed the Immortal Emperor Huang Zhan Xian..."
Renowned for their bravery and skill in battle, their people are born with Battle Body and Battle Heart, and they cultivate extremely quickly. Their Battle Body, in particular, can be activated upon reaching the Dao Inquiry Realm, allowing them to briefly enter a berserk state and increase their combat power several to ten times.
He Pause, his gaze falling on the aloof woman in the Colorful Skirt, like an elder looking at a young girl, though his eyes were devoid of warmth, and said:
"But the Immortal Emperor Huang Zhan also perished back then, and the Zhan Tian Clan —were merely followers. Even the Bloodline of the Immortal Emperor Huang Zhan is no match for your current status."
His voice was soft, but to the cold, beautiful woman in the Colorful Skirt, it sounded like a thunderclap.
She stared in disbelief at the old farmer-like man, her heart pounding. In just a few words, he had revealed the ancient and hidden history of their Zhan Tian Clan, starting from Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Catastrophe, before her grandfather was even born.
"If we kill her, how would the Zhan Tian Clan find out?"
Li Hao asked.
Old Wang nodded, then chuckled, "The Zhan Tian Clan shares Primordial Spirit Secret Realm. Within that Secret Realm, their Primordial Spirit bear an imprint. If they perish, the imprint disappears, but before it vanishes, it retains their last memories of death. Therefore, recklessly killing Zhan Tian Clan will be traced back to us. However, this Secret Realm is not without its ways of concealing things, for example..."
He slightly raised his hand, and the sky seemed to darken suddenly, but the darkness emerged from behind him and then Past the cold and beautiful woman in the Colorful Skirt.
"In my Immortal Kingdom, her Secret Realm is useless unless one exists at the same realm."
Old Wang chuckled lightly.
The woman in the Colorful Skirt, with her cool and aloof demeanor, froze, unable to utter the words of pleading that were on the tip of her tongue.
Condensing Immortal Kingdom... This is the Immortal King Overlord!
