Twelfth Desolate Domain

"Benefits? What benefits?"

Li Hao asked.

"We don't know yet. After the selection process in the Ancient Immortal Realm is over, His Majesty will come to bestow gifts upon you. The Top Ten will definitely receive special rewards, especially the top three."

Li Tiemu said.

Li Hao thought about it and realized it made sense.

"Then I'll give it a try."

The fortuitous opportunity was right in front of him. Although Li Hao Non-Contention for it, it would be a bit presumptuous not to seize what he could get.

"Don't push yourself too hard. This isn't the Southern Region Assembly Battle after all. It's best not to use some of your Ultimate trump cards lightly."

Li Tiemu expressed his concern that Li Hao might use some extremely harmful power to improve his ranking.

"Um."

Li Hao nodded, not intending to go all out at all; if he could, great, if not, so be it.

He waved to Gu Yan and the others, then flew straight Past the Desolate Region.

"Three years Past, and he has advanced from the True Immortal Realm Third Layer to the ninth level. His Immortal Power alone has increased dozens of times. He should be able to rank in the Top Twenty at least." Murong Qingwu murmured softly as she looked at Li Hao's back.

"Top Twenty?"

Beside them, the old woman, Zhou Qingyun, and the Sword Abyss disciples beside them were all stunned and wide-eyed when they heard Murong Qingwu's words.

Lin Mingrong knew from the Dream Master that Li Hao had made it into the top 100, but she didn't know his exact ranking. Now, upon hearing Murong Qingwu's words, a hint of astonishment appeared on her usually indifferent face.

"Old Li, how many apprentices do you have now?"

Zhou Qingyun couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing this, Li Tiemu knew that things had come to this point and there was no need to hide it any longer.

The reason for concealing the information earlier was the fear that it would leak and lead to Assassination attempts by other sects.

The selection process is about to end, and all Sect will know by then, so there's no need to hide it anymore.

His identification number is 996.

Li Tiemu gestured with his chin.

Upon hearing this, the Sword Abyss group quickly looked towards the Immortal Stele.

Lin Mingrong's gaze quickly swept forward a hundred feet. As the range narrowed, her Divine Sense immediately locked onto a location, causing her pupils to shrink.

"25 people?!"

Her red lips parted slightly, and she was somewhat speechless.

The others also realized what was happening, stared intently, and couldn't help but gasp.

"25 people? This, how is this possible!"

"I heard the top thirty are all at the Immortal Lord Realm, so, that young man..."

"I remember this number; he was 19th three years ago..."

Everyone was shocked, their eyes filled with undisguised horror.

Hearing their shocked Whispers, Gu Yan and the others fell silent. Their cultivation levels were similar to Li Hao's, but their rankings were worlds apart, especially three years ago when the gap was even greater. The 19th-ranked player was facing more than 2,000 others, a truly pitiful sight.

The exclamations from this place were noticed by the other elders of the nearby abyss, and some of them sent voice messages to inquire.

With a smile on his face, Li Tiemu made no attempt to hide anything and revealed Li Hao's situation.

As the news spread, the other eight members of the Abyss all turned their gazes toward them, their faces filled with astonishment.

In the Spear Abyss, where the most disciples were, a young man dressed in black stood beside the three elders. He was imposing and stood there like a golden spear, his eyes looking down on them with coldness. The other disciples around him kept their distance and looked at him with awe.

"What?"

Elder Spear Abyss's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but gasp.

"How?"

The other two elders couldn't help but glance at them, their expressions changing slightly.

The elder looked up, staring at the dark Immortal Stele for a long time before slowly saying:

Elder Li said that their Sword Abyss has a disciple whose identity number is 996, ranking... 25th.

"Um?"

"How is that possible!"

Both elders of the Spear Abyss were taken aback and hurriedly looked towards the Immortal Stele. When they saw the number 25, they were stunned.

This kind of thing can't be faked, especially since the selection process is about to end and the identities will be revealed. If he were to brag, he would be laughed at for eternity.

"25?"

Beside him, the young man who had been staring blankly at the Desolate Region suddenly focused his cold eyes, his heart seemed to tremble, and he stared intently at the Immortal Stele.

Three years ago, he barely made it into the top 1,000. If it weren't for the guidance he received from the Dream Master in the Langya Painting Realm during those three years, which allowed him to occasionally sense the secrets of heaven and break through to the Immortal Lord Realm, he would probably be extremely difficult to even make it into the top 100 now.

"That serial number..."

Su Yechen stared at the ranking, his eyes changing slightly. If he remembered correctly, the number three years ago seemed to be 19th!

Three years after his first challenge, he had a strong impression of the non- Imperial Clan numbers among the top 100.

They thought he was a top talent from another Tianzong, but it turned out he was Prodigy from their own Sect.

"25th place? Sword Abyss actually has a disciple who has reached that high?"

"Also at the Immortal Lord Realm? I've never heard of that before."

"Whose serial number is that?"

"I remember that number; it was number 19 three years ago!"

"Besides Senior Brother Ye Chen, our Sect actually has such True Dragon! That's incredible!"

When the news spread, Nine Abysses were extremely shocked, their eyes fixed on the number of the 25th person.

Hearing the discussion among all the disciples, Li Tiemu's mouth almost stretched to his ears, but he tried hard to restrain himself, though he couldn't suppress the smirk.

Seeing his smug smile, Zhou Qingyun and the old woman couldn't help but roll their eyes.

"You old Li, you actually kept this from us!"

"You don't even trust us? You'd better buy me a bottle of wine later!"

"We're breaking up! We're breaking up!"

Both men were furious, but their eyes held a smile. The fact that such Prodigy was from their Sword Abyss was a great joy for the entire Sect.

Li Tiemu chuckled and said, "Isn't this all about prioritizing the greater good? Prioritizing the greater good!"

"Get lost."

Zhou Qingyun rolled his eyes, while the disciples around him all had complicated expressions.

At this moment, Li Hao had already arrived in the Desolate Region.

Compared to three years ago, Li Hao seemed much more relaxed entering the Desolate Region again. Previously, he had to use the All Heavens Star Meridian in the Fifth Desolate Domain, but now, Li Hao rushed to the Ninth Desolate Domain in one go, and his Immortal Power was still abundant.

Upon arriving in the Tenth Desolate Domain, Li Hao's Immortal Power remained largely undiminished, requiring no replenishment whatsoever.

It should be understood that the power of the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal, besides the large amount of condensed Great Dao Origin, is that each flower on the Immortal Seal brings about a qualitative change in power, just like doubling the Immortal Power after advancing in realm.

Back then, Li Hao was able to break through the Eleventh Desolate Domain with only the True Immortal Realm Third Layer, thanks to the foundation of the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal. This was because although his realm was low, he had the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal to make up for it.

If it's One Flower Immortal Seal, it's double the normal amount; if the True Immortal Realm Tenth Layer is 500 Immortal Power, then it's five times.

If it's the Two Flowers Immortal Seal, then it's a thousand!

If it's the Three Flowers Immortal Seal, then it's two thousand!

Once you reach the Four Flowers Immortal Seal, that's four thousand, and so on, doubling in value.

Li Hao was previously at the True Immortal Realm Third Layer, but thanks to the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal, he is now equivalent to the True Immortal Realm Tenth Layer at the second level of the Two Flowers Immortal Seal!

That is now equivalent to 256 times the level of the True Immortal Realm Ninth Layer!

If the opponent possesses the Three Flowers Immortal Seal, then the power is 64 times that of the opponent, and the Immortal Power alone can completely crush them.

At this moment, Li Hao stood in the Tenth Desolate Domain, surrounded by Primordial Immortal Arts that roared continuously. Thunder and Crimson Flame flames spread and enveloped the area, and spatial rifts would occasionally appear, silently revealing the destructive power of the Origin Great Dao. Only those with at least the second level of Space Origin could detect them.

But these were like phantoms in front of Li Hao; his Ancestral Immortal Body, covered by his Immortal Power, easily withstood them.

The more profound the Immortal Power, the more terrifying the Ancestral Immortal Body. It is as if a true aura of Immortal Power is attached to the body, which can directly resist and exempt from many Divine Ability and ordinary Immortal Arts.

Looking at the Mist Wall before him, Li Hao did not hesitate. He raised his hand and brought it together to form a sword finger, then slashed out with his sword.

Bang!

The Sword Qi suddenly roared out, transforming into an extreme crack that tore apart the Mist Wall, and the various Great Dao Origin intertwined within it were also torn apart in an instant.

Li Hao took a step forward and vanished from his spot as if by teleportation, arriving in the Eleventh Desolate Region.

Upon arriving here, Li Hao immediately felt a strong sense of oppression. In addition to the Primordial Immortal Arts, there were also Immortal Dao Laws around him. This was the power of the Immortal Lord Realm, which could ignore the barriers of the Dao Domain and ordinary Immortal Arts. The powerful Immortal Dao Laws were like some kind of command that had to be obeyed, unless one countered with Immortal Power Law in kind.

Li Hao's expression turned serious, and he unleashed all his unrestrained Immortal Power.

At the same time, the Terminal Realm Power is revealed.

Surrounded by All Heavens Star Meridian, like countless Starlight gathering, they drew out mysterious and profound outlines.

The Immortal Power he had just consumed was instantly replenished, and his Ancestral Immortal Body was pushed to its peak, allowing him to directly block some of the Primordial Immortal Arts here without suffering much damage.

It should be understood that the power in the Desolate Region is extremely strong, and only a few in the same realm can withstand it. Even ordinary Immortal Lord might not be able to last long in this Eleventh Desolate Domain.

"Extreme Realm!"

Without delay, Li Hao unleashed all his Extreme Realm Power, Dharma Form into Unity.

He charged forward with a whooshing sound, the Spatial Origin Fourth Level allowing him to perceive the nascent form of the attack here.

Here, the Great Dao Origin condenses at a faster speed. If it weren't for the Spatial Origin Fourth Level sensing, Li Hao wouldn't have had time to prepare before being bombarded one after another.

The road was extremely deserted, and he didn't encounter many people. Li Hao's figure flashed and leaped continuously, and soon he arrived at the deep Frontier of the Eleventh Desolate Region.

Here, a wall of Crimson Flame Mist Wall hangs in the air, and flames burn on the wall.

Li Hao's eyes sharpened. Compared to three years ago, in addition to the improvement in his Immortal Power, his Primordial Spirit has improved even more.

The power of the Primordial Spirit is related to the power to Object Manipulation.

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

Three years Past. In the first year, he increased his Primal Spirit Golden Bone to 200. In the following two years, the number of Primal Spirit Golden Bone continued to increase, and now he has a total of 560!

It should be understood that each Primal Spirit Golden Bone is formed by the condensation of numerous Primal Spirit Golden Vein.

In terms of Primordial Spirit strength alone, Li Hao could even rival a high-level Immortal Lord Realm!

Whoosh!

As the Dharma Form enveloped him, golden light of his Primordial Spirit shone from between Li Hao's brows. Suddenly, all his immortal Immortal Power condensed in his palm, transforming into a dazzling, sharp longsword.

The depleted Immortal Power was instantly replenished, and then, the longsword unleashed a burst of Sword Momentum energy.

"Cut!"

Li Hao suddenly raised his hand and slashed out with his sword.

This sword strike not only embodies the Blue Heaven but also incorporates the Sword God Art. The two Sword Momentum converge, as if two Dao Light are joined together and slash down simultaneously.

The Crimson Flame at the edge of the Mist Wall rose continuously, as if emitting a ferocious roar, rubbing out red arcs of electricity that symbolized the annihilation of the Great Dao Origin.

With a loud bang, the Mist Wall cracked open, but the gap was small.

Li Hao's eyes narrowed, and in an instant, his figure flickered. The power of the Time Origin enveloped him, disrupting the time fluctuations within half a foot around him, and he darted Past like a phantom.

"Look!"

"Haotian's serial number has changed!"

Desolate Region, Gu Yan and Yue Xi stared intently at the Immortal Stele. Suddenly, the golden serial number on the Immortal Stele contracted its light and transformed into a golden lightning snake that shot upwards.

Then it quickly bypassed 24, 23... and continued forward.

In the blink of an eye, they had surpassed 20.

But it didn't stop there; it continued to climb, soon surpassing 17, 15... and then, to the astonishment of Gu Yan and the others, it overtook tenth place, pushing the original tenth place down.

The golden arc of electricity gradually stabilized, slowly emerging at the tenth position, and then dissipating into an identity number.

Tenth!

Upon seeing this scene, the Great Dream Nine Abyss fell into a brief silence.

Apart from Sword Abyss and the others, the other Nine Abysses were also watching the serial number. When they saw this leap in advancement, they were all stunned, their eyes wide and speechless.

In the Spear Abyss, the tall and slender Su Yechen was also stunned, his eyes momentarily blank.

How... could that be?

He First Level of Immortal Lord Realm, and despite his best efforts, he only managed to reach 17th place.

Just now, I was instantly defeated by that person, jumping from 25th to 10th!

"He, he..."

Li Tiemu stared in shock, his eyes then burning with excitement, and even his ears seemed to turn bloodshot and red.

He was just saying it casually to encourage Li Hao, after all, Li Hao was only at the True Immortal Realm, and it was already incredible that he could be among the top thirty, let alone tenth!

That's a realm that only those at the Second Level of Immortal Lord Realm are qualified to even glimpse!

"He..."

Yue Xi and Murong Qingwu were also stunned. Although they knew Li Hao was Prodigy, they did not expect that in the Past three years, the young man seemed to have progressed even faster and more ridiculously than them!

"Senior Brother Ye Chen of Spear Abyss is only 17, yet he's already at the Immortal Lord Realm..."

"Could he also be at the Immortal Lord Realm?"

"Impossible..."

Everyone was shocked by the ranking and could hardly believe it.

Inside the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Pavilion, a young man in white robes sat cross-legged on a giant sword, meditating with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from beside him, and someone cried out in panic, "Something's wrong, Senior Brother Xuanyu!"

"Um?"

The young man in white frowned slightly and opened his eyes.

A longtime friend beside him exclaimed in alarm, "Your ranking has dropped! You're out of the Top Ten!"

"Um."

Zhang Xuanyu's expression changed, and he quickly looked over. He saw that his own identity number, which used to be in the tenth position, had now been moved to the next position.

But there it was a different serial number.

He suddenly sat up, his face filled with shock and anger.

At the last moment, I was actually pushed off?

How could that be!

Although he was ranked last in the Top Ten competition, he had investigated the Eleventh to fifteenth places. The Imperial Clan in those places were all at the First Level of Immortal Lord Realm, and the rankings had changed slightly. No one had the power to challenge the Twelfth Desolate Domain.

This serial number isn't among them... Where did it come from?

"Xuanyu, your ranking has dropped."

At this moment, a figure flew over. It was Zhang Xuanyu's Master. He had a slender and graceful figure, with an elegant and mature beauty, but his expression was somewhat anxious.

"I saw it."

Zhang Xuanyu's face was gloomy, and his Immortal Power flared slightly. "Master, do you know who that number belongs to?"

"We've already sent people to investigate, but they're definitely not Imperial Clan."

"Okay, let's wait two days. I'll challenge him on the last two days, without giving him a chance to react!"

Zhang Xuanyu glanced at the rankings, a cold glint in her eyes.

He didn't act immediately. In this kind of competition, the smaller the gap between the two sides, the fiercer the competition becomes. He wanted to use his trump card directly to completely crush his opponent!

At this moment, in the Twelfth Desolate Domain.

As soon as Li Hao entered this place, he felt an even stronger and more terrifying pressure than before. The Immortal Power in his body poured out like a torrent, constantly replenishing it, and he barely managed to maintain his strength.

"So strong."

Li Hao's expression turned serious.

Suddenly.

He sensed a distortion in the Void, his expression changed instantly, and just as he was about to dodge, a Thunder Sword suddenly slashed over. It was the embodiment of the Thunder Dao Origin, which had absorbed the residual consciousness of some Immortal Arts, transforming into Sword Light that moved as fast as light and cut towards Li Hao's neck.

The Time Origin!

Li Hao's immortal Immortal Power suddenly erupted, and the Time Origin surrounding his body was suddenly mobilized to the extreme, Solidification, Solidification!

The triple Time Origin was not enough to completely Solidification the Thunder Sword, but it still affected it, slowing down the flow of time around it slightly.

With just that slight movement, Li Hao Past dodged it using spatial teleportation.

The Thunder Sword swept across and disappeared into an unknown place. Li Hao broke out in a cold sweat. If he were hit, even his Ancestral Immortal Body would be difficult to withstand and he would be seriously injured.

This is a place that only those at the Second Level of Immortal Lord Realm can barely stay in; for him now, it's still too much pressure.

"But it's also quite exciting."

Li Hao Dark Dao to himself, he did not back down, he had not felt this tense feeling for a long time.

His gaze turned serious, and he began to focus intently on his surroundings.

Soon, a white mist suddenly appeared and enveloped them.

Li Hao's expression changed slightly, knowing it was some kind of Primordial Immortal Arts again. He quickly created distance and dodged to another spot.

While dodging, a black particle suddenly flew in from a distance.

At first, Li Hao didn't take it seriously, but when the black particles got closer, Li Hao realized how terrifying they were. The things contained strong Earth Dao Origin power, and if he touched them, he would be suppressed by some kind of power.

Hide!

Li Hao dodged again, moving like Dexterous Level afterimage through the Twelfth Desolate Domain.
