The end

"If Primordial Spirit reaches its Terminal Realm and one cultivates into True God, one can shrink the physical body and manifest the True God, thus allowing one to move freely within this place."

Li Hao Dark Dao to himself.

Now, his Primordial Spirit power has surpassed that of his physical body. Even though the Ancestral Immortal Body is one of the top Immortal Body in the True Immortal Realm, it is still not as terrifying as the 560 Primal Spirit Golden Bone.

Fortunately, with his Space Dao Origin Fourth Level, he could still barely perceive the traces of attacks here. Coupled with the powerful Divine Sense brought by his Primordial Spirit, he was able to fully adjust and respond. Li Hao gradually adapted to this Twelfth Desolate Domain and became more and more at ease, easily dodging one attack after another.

Some attacks came flying at him, but Li Hao brushed past them with a hint of ease and amusement.

The feeling of dancing on the edge of a knife yet maintaining complete Mastery is captivating, evoking a long-lost sense of passion.

Time slips away silently.

In the blink of an eye, Li Hao had been here for three days.

"It's time to end this."

Li Hao moved back and forth near the Mist Wall deep within the Twelfth Desolate Domain.

He tried to cleave the Mist Wall, but the condensed power of the Great Dao Origin within it was too strong. Even when he unleashed his Sole Self Sword Dao, he could only barely split it in half.

The Immortal Dao Laws attached to the Mist Wall could reduce his Sword Dao power to more than 90%, leaving him only able to rely on pure Immortal Power to attack.

The gap between the True Immortal Realm and the Immortal Lord Realm was ultimately too great, so Li Hao did not continue to strive. He estimated that even if he forced his way into the Thirteenth Desolate Domain, he would be forced to retreat very quickly.

Whoosh!

Having dodged an attack, Li Hao moved with the grace of a dragon to another location.

He took out his token; there were less than two days left, and it was time to leave.

As the event nears its end, I wonder what the scene outside will be like.

With a "let's watch the show" attitude, Li Hao activated his Identity Token. In an instant, a power surpassing the current Immortal Dao Laws of the Desolate Region enveloped him, tearing open the Void and directly transferring his body out.

At the same time Li Hao disappeared, two figures flew in from the depths of the Desolate Region.

"That little guy, three years Past, and he has made such a terrifying improvement. His rate of progress is truly astonishing."

With his snow-white hair and white robes adorned with Star Robe, Yuan Xinggang stroked his beard and smiled.

Beside him, Shangguan Hong, clad in Golden Armor, also revealed a rare look of satisfaction in his eyes, and said:

"With his own strength, he could barely hold on in this Twelfth Desolate Domain, but his Primordial Spirit is powerful, his Movement Method are agile, and he seems to have considerable combat experience. He has the potential to perform beyond his usual level in actual combat!"

As the top military figure, and the one who oversees the Nine Thousand Immortal Cities of the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty, he values the power that cultivators can unleash more than their cultivation level.

With the resources and foundations of those Sect and Ten-Thousand-Year Aristocratic Clan, it wouldn't be difficult to cultivate disciples with high cultivation levels. The accumulation of various heavenly materials and earthly treasures would be enough to create a flashy but impractical Prodigy.

But in actual combat, their experience and foundation are far inferior to those warriors who have fought their way through blood and fire.

There have been many laughable incidents in the past. For example, a young lady from a certain noble Aristocratic Clan, despite possessing great cultivation, was so frightened by a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood created by a cultivator whose realm was far lower than hers using immortal Immortal Arts that she became paralyzed and almost had her Dao Heart shattered.

Others are lewd Immortal Arts like the Thousand-Picture Spring Palace, which can instantly reduce the combat power of some talented young girls who are diligently cultivating, allowing them to be defeated by the weak.

These weaknesses are extremely fatal in the same realm. Battles are not just Sparring, but also life-or-death struggles, where all means are used and only a strong Dao Heart can withstand them.

"Originally, I felt sorry that he didn't come to the State Supervisory Academy, as I couldn't bring him along to teach. But judging from his current performance, even after three years of cultivation in the State Supervisory Academy's Heavenly Supervisory Secret Realm, he's probably not all that great."

Yuan Xinggang laughed.

Shangguan Hong nodded slightly. In the three years since they last met, he had gone from barely managing to set foot in the Eleventh Desolate Domain to now being able to move freely in the Twelfth Desolate Domain. His progress was remarkable.

Keep in mind, this is equivalent to surpassing the First Level of Immortal Lord Realm.

However, the opponent was only at the True Immortal Realm Ninth Layer. Although the realm had improved greatly, it was still only the True Immortal Realm. Faced with the difficulty of the Immortal Lord Realm, there was no difference between the True Immortal Realm First Layer and Tenth Layer of the True Immortal Realm. Both would be defeated instantly.

"Seven years to go. I'm actually looking forward to seeing how this little guy performs in this Southern Region Assembly Battle."

"He should become famous in the Southern Region during the competition for the True Immortal Realm."

Shangguan Hong also smiled, never expecting that Yan-Chu would find such a treasure.

"His Majesty has also learned of this matter and will come to see for himself," Yuan Xinggang said with a smile.

"It's almost over, and these little guys have all calmed down."

Shangguan Hong's gaze swept over the Imperial Clan Desolate Region, as well as a few Imperial Clan Bloodline who continued to venture into the Desolate Region, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Desolate Region.

Li Hao stepped out of the Desolate Region and flew to the location of the Great Dream Nine Abyss Sect.

He looked up and glanced at the Immortal Stele, quickly finding his identity number in the tenth position.

Li Hao was quite satisfied with climbing from 25th to 10th, but he never expected to become the goalkeeper.

Three days Past, Li Hao's ranking did not improve further, remaining at tenth place. Li Hao did not encounter any other Imperial Clan in the Twelfth Desolate Domain, and it was speculated that the ninth-ranked person would at least have to enter the Thirteenth Desolate Domain.

Therefore, the first nine must all be at least top-tier warriors at the Third Level of Immortal Lord Realm.

"If we encounter these guys in the Southern Region Assembly Battle, it could be quite troublesome..."

Li Hao Dark Dao to himself.

As he landed, everyone from the Great Dream Nine Abyss saw Li Hao. Amidst the exclamations of Zhou Qingyun and the others, Li Tiemu rushed over excitedly, embraced Li Hao, and said:

"You little rascal, I gave you a tenth place, and you actually managed to get tenth!"

How did you do that?

He looked at Li Hao with a look of astonishment and disbelief.

"Let's just keep our heads down and charge forward," Li Hao laughed.

Li Tiemu rolled his eyes. It wasn't that simple, but since it concerned Li Hao's secrets, he didn't really want to investigate.

He could tell from his disciple's current performance that his cheap master had gotten a real bargain. With the little he had taught the disciple, there was no way he could have achieved such a result. It could only be that the disciple had some other lineage or some kind of fortuitous opportunity.

Regardless, this is a good thing. The bond between master and disciple remains, and he hopes Li Hao will be well.

As the two landed, Zhou Qingyun and the others approached, looking at Li Hao with amazement and congratulating him.

Lin Mingrong looked at the boy who was surrounded by everyone, like a star being the moon, and her eyes were complicated. She never expected that the boy she had misunderstood back then had such terrifying Heavenly Talent.

She understood that they were now worlds apart, like dragons and fish, and their paths would only diverge further in the future.

Beside them, Gu Yan and Yue Xi also wore complicated expressions. They had joined the Master's Sect around the same time as Li Hao and were at a similar level, but the difference between them now was like heaven and earth, making the situation even more stimulating.

"This Junior Little Brother ours has really made us proud."

Murong Qingwu murmured.

Besides the Sword Abyss disciples, other disciples from the other abysses also gathered around, eager to see up close what kind of extraordinary talent this strongest Heavenly Prodigy of the Great Dream Nine Abyss possessed.

In the Spear Abyss, Su Yechen, dressed in black, stood still. His Senior Brother rushed Past the spot, but he remained unmoved, like a rock standing on the edge of a wave, gazing at the returning youth from afar.

With his Immortal Lord Realm, he could tell at a glance that the other party's Aura was clearly that of the True Immortal Realm, and perhaps not even at the Tenth Layer Perfection.

This guy actually managed to climb ahead of me in the rankings...

He stared intently, remaining silent.

Seeing the crowded people around him, Li Hao immediately knew that his identity number had spread throughout the Sect. However, since the event was about to end, there was no point in hiding it anymore. He raised his hand to greet everyone and thanked his fellow disciples for their warm welcome.

"Senior Brother, you're only at the True Immortal Realm, right? How did you manage to rank higher than Senior Brother Ye Chen?"

Among the crowd, a disciple couldn't help but ask in surprise.

This question echoed the thoughts of many disciples, who all stared at Li Hao with wide, curious eyes.

Li Hao didn't know who this Senior Brother Ye Chen was, nor did he ask or inquire, and simply smiled and said:

"It seems there are no restrictions on cultivation level in this Desolate Region. As long as you keep at it, you can do it too."

"Senior Brother, you're really good at comforting people."

The man smiled wryly.

Li Tiemu waved his hand, stopping the crowd to avoid further investigation. He then pulled Li Hao back to the Sword Abyss and asked:

"Hey kid, three days Past, where have you been? You haven't been wandering around inside again, have you?"

Li Hao's ranking had already reached tenth place and hadn't changed in three days, so he assumed Li Hao had retreated to the Desolate Region ahead to play.

"No, I'm just getting a feel for it inside."

Li Tiemu was somewhat speechless. He looked up at the Immortal Stele and said, "You are now the tenth gatekeeper. I wonder if there are any more challengers. The one you pushed out earlier, I asked around, and he is a disciple of the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Pavilion, second only to Tian Hongyi. He is also of the Emperor Clan Bloodline. He probably won't give up easily, and the final competition will be particularly fierce."

"If you're really pushed out, there's nothing you can do."

Li Hao smiled.

Seeing Li Hao's relaxed demeanor, Li Tiemu was speechless for a moment, but considering that he must have given it his all to reach this position, he didn't say anything more and simply said:

"Then let fate decide. There's a huge difference between tenth and Eleventh."

Li Hao remained noncommittal, but wasn't too worried. If he didn't get the so-called Top Ten reward, he could only let it go.

While the two were talking, in another location Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Pavilion...

"It's almost time. Let's try to stay for the full two days this time!"

Zhang Xuanyu stood up, a cold glint in her eyes.

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

He had previously stayed in the tenth region, but he could only stay in the Twelfth Desolate Domain for one day before he could not hold on any longer and his Immortal Power was exhausted.

Now, he plans to use some kind of Secret Art to last another day inside!

As for breaking through the Twelfth Desolate Domain... that's a bit too much for him.

After all, this Desolate Region is extremely difficult to enter. Many disciples of the True Immortal Realm Tenth Layer from various Earth Sect should theoretically be assigned to the tenth Tenth Desolate Domain, but many of them can only barely stay there for a short time. Only the Heavenly Prodigy can persist there for a longer period of time.

"Go, Senior Brother Xuanyu!"

"You must reclaim the tenth place that belongs to you!"

"Xuanyu, I believe in you. Remember my previous instructions well."

Inside the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Pavilion, many disciples gathered around Zhang Xuanyu to cheer him on.

Zhang Xuanyu remained calm. As a top Heavenly Prodigy in the major industries, he was already used to the encouragement and goodwill shown to him by those around him.

He merely nodded slightly to his Master and friend before leaping into the air and heading towards the Desolate Region.

"Master, is Senior Brother Xuanyu capable?"

"No problem, if we use that Emperor Blood Secret Art, his Immortal Power will allow him to last another day!"

"With only two days left, he persevered until the very end, climbing up the rankings. Even if his opponents wanted to challenge him, they wouldn't have time."

"I see."

The members of the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Pavilion watched Zhang Xuanyu leave.

Standing at the edge of the Giant Sword Domain Artifact, Lin Qingying's eyes showed a trace of worry. She was paying close attention to Li Hao and already knew that the tenth identity number was Li Hao. She was happy for him. Now that her Senior Brother had made a move, her reputation within the Sect was already well-known. She couldn't help but worry about Li Hao.

"That's so intense!"

"So many people are coming and going."

In the Great Dream Nine Abyss, Li Hao watched as his disciples flew to and emerged from the Desolate Region, and couldn't help but sigh, "They're as lively as sparrows."

This grand occasion is reminiscent of when the Ancient Immortal Realm first opened three years ago.

However, the disciples coming and going did not possess particularly strong Aura, and the rankings of the top 100 on the Immortal Stele remained largely unchanged.

The Imperial Clan and the various Prodigy had already finished their challenges; no one deliberately tried to time things out at the last minute, as it was pointless.

With the last month approaching, everything has long since settled.

"Aren't you worried at all? I heard Zhang Xuanyu has already been arrested."

Looking at Li Hao's relaxed expression, as if he were an uninvolved spectator, Li Tiemu couldn't help but smile wryly.

Li Hao shook his head and said, "What is destined to happen will happen eventually; there's no need to force it."

"..."

Li Tiemu was speechless, but after carefully considering Li Hao's words, he vaguely felt that they seemed to align with some kind of Great Dao. He seemed to understand why the latter could Heart Questioning Nine Echoes and achieve Eternal Dao Heart.

For Eternity, temporary successes and failures, gains and losses, are all seen through and remain unmoved.

In Immortal Stele.

Standing outside the disciples of various sects, in the frontmost territory, a large number of figures dressed in luxurious royal robes gathered.

The men mostly wore robes with golden swallows and dragons woven from Golden Thread, and the cuffs were decorated with golden swallows and dragons intertwined.

The women's robes each have their own unique charm, like flowing Cloudmist or neon lights, each with its own distinct beauty.

"Who are those Boya Xuejian, that they dare to ride roughshod over us?"

"Thank goodness we have Tianhuang Gege to suppress everything, otherwise we would all be suppressed by such a guy, and the Imperial Clan family would lose all face."

"If that were the case, I wouldn't dare look at my father's face."

"That Boya Xuejian, it is said, are Snow Spirit born from Chaos, beings of Chaos!"

"Chaos beings? Those are the life forms in the Original True World?"

"I see, this is even rarer than the Bloodline of the Emperor Clan. No wonder it's so powerful."

"Thank goodness for Tianhuang Gege! No matter what kind of Chaos being or Emperor Clan Bloodline he is, he will be suppressed in front of Tianhuang Gege!"

The crowd whispered among themselves, their eyes mostly fixed on the second identity number on the Immortal Stele.

The placement of those serial numbers was so jarring that they found it hard to accept.

"Brother Tianzheng, it's a pity you're twelfth in the rankings. If you had just pushed a little harder, you could have reached tenth."

"If you make it into the Top Ten, you'll definitely catch the Emperor's eye, especially since your mother is deeply favored by His Majesty..."

"Snort!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a young man dressed in imperial robes with a cold snort.

The obsequious prince's expression changed slightly, but he quickly smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Brother Tianzheng, don't be angry. Being ranked twelfth is already something we can only look up to and envy."

"That guy who made it to tenth place, I don't know where he came from. He was previously ranked 25th, and suddenly jumped to tenth. Tianzheng was originally ranked Eleventh, which was barely acceptable."

Beside her, another Imperial Clan Princess stood with her arms crossed, speaking calmly.

Although her ranking was lower than Chu Tianzheng's, the difference wasn't significant. Her expression during the conversation was devoid of flattery, only slightly tinged with regret.

"That kind of guy only rushes in at the very end; I'll see who it is in a couple of days."

Chu Tianzheng sneered.

Time flies.

Two days Past quickly.

As the end date drew closer, the various sects in front of the Immortal Stele became increasingly restless, all knowing that the rankings were almost finalized.

The top 100 remained largely unchanged, with the most intense competition around the 990th position. After all, only those ranked 1000 or higher could participate in the Southern Region Assembly Battle and secure an entry ticket.

Therefore, the battles here are the most intense, with rankings constantly changing, eliciting gasps of surprise.
