The Last Spiritual Burst
Having reached the Fourth Layer peak from the Water Dao Origin, Li Hao has a deeper understanding of the art of Painting Dao and a more refined Mastery over ink and wash.
Ink painting is not just ink; Immortal Power can also be transformed into ink painting, and time itself can be transformed into ink painting, depending on how you interpret it.
Li Hao looked up at the Time Divine Tree, his mind racing. Using space as a canvas and time as a brush, he drew upon the All Heavens Star Immortal Power to sketch the appearance of the Time Divine Tree in the Void.
Painting extraordinary scenes is a form of training and test for the Painting Dao.
But as soon as he started writing, Li Hao felt as if he had kicked a hornet's nest.
The wondrous sight of the Time Origin Divine Tree was the most challenging he had ever witnessed in his life.
The divine leaves on the tree crown alone made Li Hao's forehead begin to sweat.
Each divine leaf carries and changes a piece of time that has been sealed away; each leaf represents a moment in time, rising and falling, ever-changing, with no fixed order.
Veins gradually bulged on Li Hao's forehead, and a look of struggle and effort appeared in his eyes. The time carried on each divine leaf was changing and different, and it was simply unimaginable to draw them.
Li Hao used the power of time to create a changing River of Time on the divine leaf in the painting. However, as soon as that River of Time was finished, the time fragments on the divine leaf changed, while the fragments that the brush had already outlined could not follow the change and had already been fixed.
"This is simply impossible to draw!"
Li Hao was shocked. This was the first time since he had mastered the Painting Dao that he had encountered a situation where he could no longer continue painting.
In the past, his Painting Dao were still rudimentary, and he used the complex bodies of Demon as his subjects. Although his work was crude and unskilled and could not capture the essence of the demons, it was still perfectly acceptable to use it as a wanted poster, as it could distinguish the features and appearance.
As he painted again and again, his artistic spirit Painting Dao, and even complex Demon came to life.
But given the current situation, even drawing the first divine leaf is proving difficult.
"Everything in the world can be painted. In the Tian Yang Pseudo-World, the countless Xingchen in the Land of Myriad Heavens were all painted. This Time Origin Divine Tree should also be able to be painted."
Li Hao's eyes were filled with complex emotions, but he did not waver in his pursuit of Painting Dao. With his current level of skill in Painting Dao, no matter how much he pondered or exhausted his thoughts, he could not come up with a way to present the Time Origin Divine Tree before him.
But Li Hao felt that he would be able to paint it sooner or later and give it the same vitality as Sculpting.
"If I reach the Twelfth Stage in Painting Dao, perhaps I can give it a try."
Li Hao Dark Dao to himself.
He gazed at the divine leaf and tried to paint again, but time seemed to shift and change on the leaf. He tried several times, but ultimately failed.
However, these failures allowed Li Hao to exhaust his thoughts and gain a more thorough understanding of his own Painting Dao, resulting in some small gains.
He got up and left the place, heading towards the Space Origin Divine Tree.
This Space Origin Divine Tree is entirely silver-white, as if standing in the city, or as if standing in another Time and Space.
The leaves of the Divine Tree fluttered gently, yet easily tore apart the surrounding space.
These fractured spaces heal in an instant, only to be fractured again and again, the surrounding Void resembling rippling water.
Li Hao's eyes were solemn. This Space Origin Divine Tree was not easy to draw, but compared to the abnormal appearance of the Time Origin Divine Tree, it was obviously much simpler.
Having just studied the Time Origin Divine Tree, Li Hao sat cross-legged, expanded his Dao Domain, and carefully traced and painted once again.
During his careful observation over the course of half a month, Li Hao discovered that the Void was repeatedly torn apart, like ripples on water, but it was not as disordered as time itself; the torn Void presented a constant order.
After each of the 1,008 different Void Rift, it returns to the beginning, endlessly repeating the cycle.
"I can't just think laterally; I should also think vertically, like space, viewing the 108 variations as a whole!"
"I wonder if the Time Origin Divine Tree, is similar, only with even more variations..."
Thoughts flickered in Li Hao's eyes, but two other words surfaced in his mind: Reincarnation.
His mind trembled slightly, and he vaguely felt that he had grasped some kind of Heavenly Dao truth, but it was still unclear.
Soon, the feeling that was somewhere between enlightenment and enlightenment disappeared, and his mind returned to the Space Origin Divine Tree before him.
Li Hao views the constantly fragmenting changes as a unified whole, using time as his brush to gradually present them in his paintings.
Soon, as the first divine leaf was completed, the second, the third... followed.
Time continued to pass, and Li Hao, his body radiating with Immortal Power, was completely absorbed in painting.
The All Heavens Star Meridian around him automatically appeared, supplying him with a continuous stream of Immortal Power.
Without the enduring Immortal Power brought by the All Heavens Star Meridian, Li Hao would have exhausted all his Immortal Power just to paint a single spatial divine leaf.
With undivided attention, he continued to draw divine leaves. Before his eyes, the crown of a dazzling silver-white Space Origin Divine Tree gradually emerged, exuding a terrifying Space Dao aura.
Four months Past in the blink of an eye.
Suddenly, two beams of light shot into the sky from this Twin City, shaking the minds of everyone present.
A dense concentration of Immortal Power gathered within the city like a storm, and one could feel their cultivation level improving with every breath.
"Spiritual Burst."
Before the Space Origin Divine Tree, the three figures Awakening from their comprehension, their eyes shining as they gazed at the Space Origin Divine Tree.
But soon, as if they sensed something, they turned around and saw that behind them, there was another huge Space Divine Tree, also standing in the Void!
Two?
All three had their pupils constricted, their faces showing shock.
Their thoughts were briefly confused, but they soon realized that this Space Divine Tree seemed to have no roots; it only had an upper part, with no lower part.
Immediately afterwards, they saw a young man sitting cross-legged beneath the Space Divine Tree, waving his hands continuously. Streams of Immortal Power flowed into the Space Divine Tree, causing its trunk to slowly grow.
What's going on?
The three of them stared at the scene in astonishment; even with their extensive experience, they had never seen anything like it.
"It was him?"
One of the figures in imperial robes was slightly taken aback when he saw Li Hao's face, not expecting it to be this strange True Immortal Realm youth.
He actually came to the Time-Space Origin City, and what is he doing here?
He looked puzzled, got up and walked towards Li Hao. He immediately sensed that Li Hao's Dao Domain contained the power of Time and Space, which blocked him.
With his strength, he could easily force his way in, but he could tell that the other party was focused on something, and if he disturbed them, they might become enemies.
However, when the Southern Region Assembly Battle begins, they will all be adversaries.
His eyes flickered, and remembering the Space Origin that the young man had sold him earlier, he finally stopped and did not take another step.
"That kid from the True Immortal Realm, he seems to be using Immortal Power to reflect the image of the Space Divine Tree."
The other two also arrived at the edge of Li Hao's Dao Domain, their eyes filled with surprise and doubt, both realizing that this young man was somewhat terrifying.
They wouldn't dare try something like this, yet the other party did it, and even made the Space Divine Tree look so incredibly similar.
"Whose Heavenly Prodigy is this? He doesn't seem to be from our Heavenly Illumination Immortal Dynasty."
"The True Immortal Realm... it seems that in a year, we'll be facing True Immortal Realm opponents from that group. In that case, don't blame me for being impolite!"
One of the Purple-Robed Youth, his eyes flashing coldly, was about to step into Li Hao's Dao Domain and disturb him.
He could tell that the young man was trying to comprehend the Space Divine Tree in some way, and if he could destroy it, it would surely cause the other party to suffer heavy losses.
"Snort!"
At this moment, the middle-aged man in the imperial robe snorted coldly, suddenly unleashing a powerful aura that blocked the Purple-Robed Youth's path.
"Since you're afraid of the other True Immortal Realm, you shouldn't participate in any Grand Battle, lest you embarrass yourself!"
The Purple-Robed Youth's expression changed; he hadn't expected the other party to stop him. He asked in surprise, "This person isn't from your Origin Reverence Immortal Dynasty, is he?"
"So what if I'm not? I just can't stand your despicable behavior!"
The middle-aged man in the imperial robe sneered, his eyes filled with disdain.
The Purple-Robed Youth's face was grim as he said darkly, "Once he becomes Immortal Lord, he will be an opponent of your Origin Reverence Immortal Dynasty. Even if he doesn't have time to advance in this Southern Region Assembly Battle and doesn't have the chance to fight you, he will still become an obstacle for you in the future!"
"I, Chi Man, fear no challenge from those of equal strength; the stronger the opponent, the more excited I become!"
The middle-aged man in the imperial robes sneered.
"You!"
The Purple-Robed Youth clenched his fists, furious. But his opponent was Immortal Lord Realm, while he was only True Immortal Realm. If he provoked the opponent, even if he wasn't killed, he would be crippled, which would be a huge loss.
He gritted his teeth, forced to swallow his anger, and retreated back to the Space Origin Divine Tree.
"Since the Spiritual Burst has begun, I'll go ahead first."
The other person also wanted to disrupt Li Hao's state, but seeing that Chi Man was protecting him, he was too lazy to make a move and turned to rush towards the Space Origin Divine Tree.
Chi Man glanced at it but ignored it, instead giving the Purple-Robed Youth a warning look.
The Purple-Robed Youth was furious, but he could only turn and leave.
Chi Man glanced at Li Hao, then, without further delay, took advantage of the Spiritual Burst to climb towards the Space Origin Divine Tree.
At this moment, within the Dao Domain, Li Hao was still completely absorbed in painting.
Whoosh!
As Immortal Power surged in, the final stroke was completed, and Li Hao immediately snapped out of his immersive state.
He gazed at the seemingly real yet illusory Space Divine Tree before him, feeling immense joy. He had actually completed the drawing of this Space Divine Tree!
Although it still feels somewhat illusory compared to the original form before us, and its Dao Resonance is far inferior, it is at least a complete work of art.
"I feel like something's missing."
Looking at the Space Divine Tree he had drawn, Li Hao recovered from his excitement and joy. He carefully examined and compared it, but felt that it was still lacking in many ways. However, he had no idea how to improve it.
At this moment, Li Hao noticed the Space Origin Divine Tree in front of him, which was radiating Divine Radiance, while in another part of the city, Seven-Colored Iridescence glow enveloped the Time Origin Divine Tree, whose precious light soared into the sky.
"Spiritual Burst?"
Seeing the three figures climbing the Space Origin Divine Tree, Li Hao realized that this Spiritual Burst was probably the last chance to climb the Divine Tree.
The next time this Origin Secret Realm will be over.
If Li Hao could obtain the Divine Tree Dao Fruit, his Time Origin could also be raised to the Fourth Layer. His Space Origin was already at the Fourth Layer, but with the Divine Tree Dao Fruit, he might be able to break through to the Fifth Layer!
Thinking of this, Li Hao's eyes burned with fervor. He put away the painting and was about to take action.
At this moment, Evening Primrose, who was in the Heaven and Earth Space, suddenly spoke to Li Hao:
"Haotian, someone just tried to harm you."
"You hurt me?"
Li Hao was taken aback. Evening Primrose had been in his Heaven and Earth Space, and could see what was happening outside from inside. He had promised Evening Primrose that he would take her to see the outside world.
"Hmm, that guy in purple was just about to trespass into your Dao Domain and disrupt your painting."
Evening Primrose immediately said, "However, he was stopped by that middle-aged man. You sold him the Space Great Dao before, so he probably remembers your kindness."
Li Hao looked at the middle-aged man in the imperial robe and immediately remembered that the other party was a powerful figure from the Origin Reverence Immortal Dynasty, on par with Chu Tianhuang. He had bought the Space Origin from him and also passed on a top-notch Swordsmanship from the Origin Reverence Immortal Dynasty to him.
"I have no grudge against him, why is he bothering me?"
Li Hao asked, puzzled.
Evening Primrose said, "From their argument, it seems the one in purple is True Immortal Realm. He feels you are a threat, so he wants to interfere."
Li Hao raised an eyebrow and glanced at the Purple-Robed Youth, who was climbing up the vines toward the tree trunk, rising continuously amidst the chaotic reverse flow of space.
Although the other party is also at the True Immortal Realm, their understanding of the Space Dao seems to be extremely profound.
But.
Since the other party wanted to ruin his plans, Li Hao naturally wouldn't let them have it easy.
Li Hao had no doubts about Evening Primrose's words.
Whoosh!
Li Hao's figure blurred as he flew away, rushing into the range of the Divine Tree's Spiritual Burst.
Here, space is like a turbulent current; only those with a deep understanding of the Space Dao can rise with the current.
Li Hao darted through the turbulent waters like a fish, catching up with the Purple-Robed Youth in the blink of an eye.
"Um?"
The Purple-Robed Youth's expression changed, and he turned to look at Li Hao. When he saw Li Hao's cold gaze, a chill ran through him, and he said in a deep voice:
"What you up to?"
What were you just about to do?
Li Hao countered with a question.
But as he spoke, he unleashed a burst of Immortal Power with a wave of his hand, slashing out with his sword.
"You!"
The Purple-Robed Youth was shocked and enraged, saying, "There are plenty of seats here, are you trying to take them from me?!"
"There are plenty of strong individuals in the Southern Region Assembly Battle. You insist on ruining my plans. Do you think you'll be the only one to benefit from what happens to me?" Li Hao sneered, retorting with the same words.
The Azure Sky Sword Qi slashed through the spatial turbulence, directly striking the Purple-Robed Youth's body.
The Purple-Robed Youth hurriedly waved his hand, and a long spear appeared in his palm, unleashing dark immortal Immortal Weapon power to block Li Hao's Sword Qi.
Li Hao's eyes narrowed slightly; the Immortal Weapon in the opponent's hand was also a top-tier weapon.
Almost everyone who comes to this Time-Space Origin City has a powerful background. Even if they didn't have one before, they will receive support and assistance from the Immortal Dynasty after they display their Heavenly Talent.
"Don't waste your energy, I'll be waiting for you at the Southern Region Assembly Battle!"
The Purple-Robed Youth had a cold look in his eyes; knowing he had already offended someone, he didn't bother to say anything more.
Li Hao glanced at the Immortal Weapon in his hand and knew that it would be difficult to seriously injure him. In the Southern Region Assembly Battle, Immortal Weapon would be restricted, and then it would be a real battle of swords and spears.
I'll settle the score with you later!
Li Hao snorted coldly, his figure blurred, and he rushed past the figure towards the spatial turbulence.
The Purple-Robed Youth's expression changed when he saw Li Hao surpass him in the blink of an eye, which meant that Li Hao's understanding of spatial levels was deeper than his own.
