The match at the summit

Dao Questioning Mountain.

After leaving the Dao Pavilion, Li Hao quickly began his ascent.

Along the way, we encountered some people who had gathered at the Dao Pavilion earlier but had left beforehand.

Those people were somewhat surprised to see Li Hao arrive, but they didn't pay much attention and continued climbing. However, many people stopped at the steps along the way, clasped their hands together, and looked like they were on a pilgrimage.

Li Hao walked with ease and soon arrived at the next Dao Pavilion.

Upon arriving at this place, as countless people were speculating about what kind of Dao Realm Avatar Li Hao would manifest this time, his Dao Realm Avatar also appeared outside the Dao Pavilion.

As soon as it appeared, the Dao Realm Avatar exuded a strong Aura the Water Dao Origin. It raised its hand and unleashed Water Dao Immortal Arts on Li Hao. The surrounding area was as if a sudden rain Descent, carrying a bone-chilling cold and Chill.

Upon seeing that it was Water Dao Avatar, Li Hao acted swiftly and decisively. The opponent was only using the Third Water Dao Realm, not yet the Fourth Layer.

While in the Five Dao Origin City, he consumed the Divine Tree Origin Fruit, and all Nine Orders of his cultivation reached the Fourth Layer.

Condensate!

With a wave of his hand, Li Hao Solidification the oncoming storm in an instant. Then, with a flick of his wrist, the Solidification rain transformed into an ice wall, which shoved horizontally towards the Water Dao Avatar.

Water Dao Avatar was about to retaliate, the ice wall suddenly shattered, and ice shards transformed into countless sharp swords that flew through its body in an instant, causing it to vanish on the spot.

All of this happened and ended in an instant. Li Hao withdrew his hand, looked back without lingering, and continued up the steps.

This fleeting battle, as it unfolded across the various Immortal Dynasty of the Southern Region, left countless people dumbfounded.

Previously, when Li Hao used the Fire Dao Avatar, he easily defeated it, but that was at the lower part of the mountainside. Now, however, it is above the mountainside, at the summit, where the strength of this Dao Realm Avatar is even greater.

"So powerful! He actually masters both Water and Fire!"

"And they are all at a high level."

"That's not surprising, after all, these are top Heavenly Prodigy who can come to the Southern Region Assembly Battle, some of whom even control time and space."

"Is this his speed when facing Combat Avatar? If he were Combat Avatar like the others, he probably would have reached the top by now, right?"

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, all having witnessed how terrifying the boy was.

The fact that Li Hao Angling that Profound Darkness Dragon Immortal at the Immortal Lord Realm under adversity is enough to show that he is qualified to be among the top of the many True Immortal Heavenly Prodigy.

After all, while other Heavenly Prodigy are strong, only a small group can reach the level of adversity.

"That young man is comparable to that Ancient God Clan; the upcoming Grand Battle will likely be a fierce and bloody affair!"

In a certain Immortal Dynasty, a powerful Immortal King Realm sat atop a mountain, stroking his beard as he spoke to his disciples.

"Good!"

Upon Dao Questioning Mountain, Li Tiemu clenched his fist in excitement and cheered for Li Hao.

A smile also appeared on the Dream Master's face. With such a rapid pace, Li Hao's chances of reaching the top were extremely high.

"So fast!"

Dao Pavilion, the others were somewhat shocked to see Li Hao swiftly defeat the Dao Realm Avatar.

The young man, who had been sitting alone in the Dao Pavilion below, has now swiftly defeated Dao Realm Avatar from this higher vantage point—it's unbelievable.

Ignoring the astonished looks around him, Li Hao dealt with the Water Dao Avatar and quickly continued climbing the steps.

This time, however, the number of people on the steps was significantly reduced, with only a few people kneeling on the steps like Sculpture, immersed in a different state as if on a pilgrimage.

Not long after Li Hao left, Yue Xi, Gu Yan, and others followed, as did the Green-Dressed Girl and the others. They looked around but couldn't see Li Hao, and were stunned.

When someone asked, the person who had barely dealt with the Dao Realm Avatar, panting heavily, replied that Li Hao had already gone up the mountain.

Is this his actual mountain climbing speed?

Gu Yan couldn't help but look up at the Mountain Summit. Then, his eyes sharpened, and he continued climbing the steps.

Soon, Dao Realm Avatar appeared, and he immediately unleashed his Swordsmanship, engaging in fierce combat.

Upon hearing news of Li Hao, the Green-Dressed Girl and the others all looked grave, and they tried again to continue climbing and challenging themselves.

Meanwhile, Li Hao soon arrived at the next Dao Pavilion.

This is the third Dao Pavilion.

Once you cross this Dao Pavilion, you'll be just one step away from reaching the summit.

At this moment, an avatar appeared outside the Daoist Dao Pavilion.

Li Hao gazed at the figure quietly and saw that the Dao Realm Avatar exuded a sharp and fierce aura, and a sword slowly materialized in its hand.

The Sword Dao Avatar!

"Please."

The Dao Realm Avatar raised his hand, his entire body radiating a terrifying Sword Intent.

Li Hao's eyes narrowed; this Sword Intent was probably close to the Fourth Layer level of Origin.

His Swordsmanship Eleventh Dan, but the Panel only gives him three levels of Sword Dao Origin comprehension. Li Hao estimates that when he reaches the Twelfth Stage, he should be able to raise the Sword Dao Origin to the Sixth Layer.

One segment corresponds to three.

Although his Sword Dao Origin is currently at the third level, his mastery of the Power of the Nine Orders, coupled with the unique nature of his Sole Self Sword Dao which incorporates the Nine Orders Power, means that although his Sword Dao is only at the third Origin Realm, its true power is far greater than that.

"Please."

Li Hao raised his hand, and a silver-white Sword Qi condensed from his Immortal Power in his palm.

He gripped the Sword Qi, staring directly at the avatar.

Whoosh!

The Sword Dao Avatar suddenly raised its Sword Light, revealing countless sword shadows that rained down, before rapidly shrinking back into one!

With that single slash, it seemed to compress all the air in the Void, leaving only the chilling Sword Intent that permeated Heaven and Earth.

But at this moment, Li Hao also raised the sword in his hand, and the ancient Sword Dao Immortal Arts shone brightly from his hand.

Blue Heaven!

With a whoosh, the Sword Light instantly reached its peak of brilliance, like Xingchen exploding, illuminating the eyes of countless people.

With a single slash, the Nine Orders formed the core, containing terrifying power. It was almost unimpeded and unstoppable, shattering the Sword Qi of the Sword Dao Avatar and then severing its body as well!

"A fine sword..."

The Sword Dao Avatar slowly dissipated, leaving only two words.

The Sword Qi in Li Hao's hand dissipated, and his aura, which had been fierce just moments before, contracted and returned to normal in the blink of an eye.

It's like a hunter who just bared his scarlet fangs, then withdrew them the next moment, revealing a harmless appearance.

He gazed at the Five Daos figures with their eyes closed in the nearby Dao Pavilion. Among them, one figure had a familiar face; it was none other than the Imperial Daughter who had previously harassed him, Chu Yueli.

At this moment, the latter had his eyes closed and was also immersed in the state of pilgrimage and contemplation, seemingly oblivious to the outside world.

The same applies to the other four.

They were all at the Immortal Lord Realm, but upon arriving here, it wasn't enough to simply defeat Dao Realm Avatar; their Dao Heart also needed to withstand the trials of the Dao Questioning Mountain.

Clearly, their Dao Heart is insufficient, preventing them from reaching even higher levels.

Li Hao withdrew his gaze, ignored it, turned around and stepped down the steps. The Mountain Summit was just a stone's throw away, with only a few hundred Dao Platform.

"Wow, he's almost at the top!"

"This was the last Dao Pavilion incarnation, near the summit, and he defeated it in a single move!"

"That sword strike... it seemed to be some kind of ancient immortal Immortal Arts, it was terrifying!"

"If he can overcome just one more hurdle, he really will reach the summit!"

Countless people who witnessed Li Hao's ascent held their breath; now, no one doubted that the young man could reach the summit.

After all, these three Dao Pavilion and this young man had greatly impressed them.

Whether it was Angling for the Dragon Clan at the Immortal Lord Realm or instantly defeating Dao Realm Avatar twice in a row, both demonstrated extraordinary power.

"Wasn't that sword strike just now called 'Blue Heaven'?"

"Dao Questioning Mountain, high in the sky," Emperor Jiang asked, slightly taken aback.

The other Imperial Emperor' expressions shifted slightly as they looked towards the Sky Sovereign.

"It's a good thing that these ancient Immortal Arts haven't been forgotten."

The Sky Sovereign calmly stated, "Such top-tier Immortal Arts of True Immortal will inevitably be kept secret by some and passed down through generations."

The seven Imperial Emperor remained unusually silent and did not respond to this statement.

Dao Questioning Mountain, Li Hao climbed the steps one by one.

The closer he got to the Mountain Summit, the more he felt a Chill. This Chill was not the chill of ice and snow, but a chill that emanated from within, as if it came from the depths of his soul.

However, the Chill gradually intensified as he climbed the steps, and Li Hao estimated that he could easily withstand this short distance.

When he reached the five steps, Li Hao seemed to see extremely faint snowflakes falling before his eyes. A sense of ancient desolation suddenly welled up in his heart, as if someone was softly asking in his mind, "What is the Way? What is life?"

Li Hao was unaware of this; he only knew that what he felt and experienced at this moment was life, and the path he was taking forward was his own way.

With a focused mind, one Eternity in the Dao Heart.

Li Hao knew that this was the influence of the Dao Questioning Mountain on him. As he approached the Mountain Summit, he felt for the first time the test of the Dao Questioning Mountain on his Dao Heart, in addition to the Dao Realm Avatar.

There were only a few steps left, and Li Hao didn't stop, walking straight up.

At this moment, at the Dao Questioning Mountain, outside a majestic and ancient Palace Hall, dozens of figures sat.

"Someone's coming up."

Someone Whispers something.

The others turned to look, quite surprised. They were among the first to reach the summit, meaning they had climbed extremely fast along the way, far ahead of the others.

Soon, they saw the face of the boy who was walking up the steps.

"It's him."

In the crowd, Chu Tianhuang and Boya Xuejian were both stunned for a moment, then a relieved smile appeared on their faces.

They weren't surprised that Li Hao had reached the summit; in fact, they were somewhat disappointed and regretful that they hadn't seen Li Hao earlier.

"Though late, it arrived and didn't disappoint me."

Chu Tianhuang chuckled, a smile appearing on his aged face, while a glint of divine Divine Radiance shone in his eyes.

"It's the True Immortal Realm. Another kid from the True Immortal Realm has arrived. I wonder if he can pass the final test."

The others' expressions turned slightly cold upon seeing Li Hao's cultivation level.

"That kid, I thought he wouldn't make it up. Humph, he's really slow."

Shen Wuji sat under the eaves, glanced at Li Hao, raised his eyebrows slightly, and snorted coldly. He was obviously disappointed by Li Hao's slow climbing speed. He had thought Li Hao was a guy worth fighting, but he didn't expect that Li Hao's Dao Heart was not high.

"It's this guy."

Among the crowd, some people recognized Li Hao as the person who had bought the Great Dao Origin from Li Hao on the Heavenly Dao Bridge.

Their eyes were solemn. They had remembered this young man when they measured his Soul Lifespan earlier, but they never expected to see him again at the Dao Questioning Mountain.

Without a doubt, this young man is a top-tier Heavenly Prodigy and deserves our attention.

As everyone scrutinized Li Hao stepped onto the last step and, with a sweep of his gaze, saw several distinctive figures standing on the steps at the far end of the hall.

Seeing that there were as many as twenty or thirty people, Li Hao was somewhat surprised, not expecting there to be so many people on the Mountain Summit.

But he soon realized that this trial at the Dao Questioning Mountain selected a thousand Heavenly Prodigy, but only less than fifty could reach the summit, which was a very small percentage.

After all, those gathered here are all top Prodigy selected from the various Immortal Dynasty of the Southern Region.

Li Hao saw some familiar faces; some nodded to him with goodwill, while others looked at him coldly.

At the edge of a roof railing, he saw Di Linchen, dressed in white, looking ethereal, and the latter gave him a smile.

Li Hao nodded in greeting. At that moment, Dao Realm Avatar appeared before him, as black as ink.

Li Hao gazed at the final Dao Realm Avatar before him and quickly sensed a familiar feeling emanating from it.

"We meet again."

The Dao Realm Avatar spoke softly to Li Hao, then waved his hand, and a Go Board materialized before him. He then said to Li Hao:

"How about another round?"

Li Hao recalled that he had mentioned at the foot of the mountain that if they could reach the summit, he would like to play another game of chess.

Unexpectedly, this Mountain Summit truly Chess Dao Avatar; this is clearly... no coincidence.

"No problem."

Li Hao nodded and immediately sat down on the ground.

The Chess Dao Avatar smiled slightly, conjured Go Box, and began a second game of chess with Li Hao atop the Dao Questioning Mountain.

What kind of incarnation is that?

"Chess?"

What is he doing?

Those in the main hall were slightly surprised by this scene, clearly not expecting the test the other party underwent to reach the summit to be so strange.

They had never seen Li Hao's previous Dao Realm Avatar before, so they found it novel and were full of doubts.

But the crowd outside the Dao Questioning Mountain, watching Li Hao climb all the way up, and seeing this Chess Dao Avatar reappear, immediately erupted in uproar.

However, this time no one laughed. The three Dao Pavilion they had crossed in succession had already shown them Li Hao's extraordinary strength. This game of chess, on the contrary, was like Sweet Dew rain after a storm, giving them a familiar yet interesting feeling.

"It's the Chess Dao again. This Dao Realm Avatar lost at the foot of the mountain, but it has reappeared at the Mountain Summit."

"I never expected to witness a Chess Dao duel at the Dao Questioning Mountain. This must be the first time in 100,000 years!"

"I wonder who will win this time. By the way, how do you determine the winner in this Chess Dao?"

"I don't understand it either; I'll have to ask someone who knows chess."

The crowd buzzed with discussion, and many felt a sense of wonder as they gazed at the focused-looking boy.

"I never expected that the final victory would be decided by the Chess Dao. Haha, this is the first time I've ever seen anything like it."

Heavenly Illumination Emperor laughed.

"If it were a battle, it would probably be over quickly. This test to reach the top is at most twice as difficult as the last Dao Pavilion. With the power of his previous sword strike, and without even using the power of his Immortal Seal, reaching the top is inevitable."

"That's what the Crimson Emperor said."

Her crimson imperial robe draped over her body, revealing arms and legs that were as white as jade, exuding Aura of holiness.

Everyone else is fighting tooth and nail, but he's just relaxing.

The Original Venerable Empress was both amused and exasperated, shaking her head and sighing.

They had witnessed such a scene before, even after seeing so many Southern Region Assembly Battle.
