Making a Move
Meanwhile, Lin Qingying, Yue Xi, Gu Yan, and others gathered around Li Hao, their expressions solemn.
Clearly, they had all figured out Yun Jin Immortal Dynasty's plans. Now that everyone else had been kicked out of the Emperor Platform, only their two groups remained.
"Your name is Haotian?"
Among the Imperial Clan of the Yun Jin Immortal Dynasty, the leading young man with deer antlers looked down at Li Hao.
Its appearance is exceptionally handsome, a rarity in the world, and the antlers on its head emit a soft green light, exuding a vibrant life Aura.
The other members of the Cloud Jin Imperial Clan were all extraordinary; some had crimson Fish Scales on their cheeks and eerily beautiful faces, while others had Double Pupils and an air of domineering arrogance that seemed to look down upon the All Under Heaven.
Li Hao had previously seen other imperial Imperial Clan of the Immortal Dynasty doing the same thing. Although they were all Imperial Clan, their temperaments Bloodline seemed to be different. Later, he asked the Dream Master and learned that there were Chaos beings or rare Bloodline who would join forces with the Immortal Dynasty and take advantage of the reincarnation opportunity to use the Immortal Dynasty Imperial Clan's resources. These were all from the maternal lineage, powerful members of great clans, and held extraordinary positions within the Imperial Clan.
How so?
Li Hao remained calm, looking directly at the other person.
"I am Jin Ziyin, Imperial Clan of the Yun Jin Immortal Dynasty, and also the Tianlu Sky Deer Clan, ranked twenty-third among the True World Hundred Clans!"
Jin Ziyin, with deer antlers on his head, looked down at Li Hao, his exceptionally handsome face cold and indifferent, and said, "I have specially reserved a spot for you. Considering that you are ninth on the Dao Fire Ranking and have the shortest Soul Lifespan, would you be willing to join us and share this Emperor Platform?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yan and the others Dark Dao to themselves, "Just as I thought."
When they saw that the other party had exactly nine people, they guessed that they might have invited Li Hao.
After all, given Li Hao's previous performance, it would be unwise to confront Li Hao head-on, unless there was a past grudge.
However, if Li Hao agrees, then all six of them will have to withdraw.
"Junior Brother Haotian, you don't need to worry about us. With you advancing to the Top Hundred, our Sect is more than capable."
"A disciple of Qin Abyss said."
Neither Yue Xi nor Gu Yan spoke. Even if Li Hao agreed, they still wanted to test their skills against the Yun Jin Immortal Dynasty and see if they were truly capable of staying.
After all, these are spots in the Top Hundred, and they all want to advance through their own performance.
"Feel sorry."
Li Hao shook his head, but his apology was directed at Jin Ziyin. He calmly said, "I have three spots available. Three of you can stay. You can discuss and choose among yourselves."
Upon hearing Li Hao's words, Gu Yan, Yue Xi, and the others' expressions changed slightly. They glanced at Li Hao, their surprise at Li Hao refusal seemingly unsurprised, though their eyes held a more complex expression.
Lin Qingying didn't speak, but silently gripped her sword. She already knew what Li Hao would choose. That young man who faced All Heavens Saints Land of Myriad Heavens would never bow down to anyone.
"Your attempt to sow discord is so low-class."
A young member of the Imperial Clan with red scales on his face said coldly.
Li Hao shook his head and said, "This isn't provocation, it's a clear indication."
"Arrogant!"
Another princess from the Jin Dynasty, wielding a halberd, sneered, "With your abilities, you might be able to protect your sect's members with just one or two spots, but do you think you can secure seven? These scrawny freaks don't even deserve to be in the top 100!"
Upon hearing the Imperial Daughter's words, Gu Yan and the others' expressions changed slightly, becoming somewhat gloomy and unpleasant.
"How about this, we'll have a one-on-one duel. The loser goes, the winner stays. Only the strongest deserve to go all the way!"
At this moment, Gu Yan suddenly stepped forward and said with a cold face.
As Ancient Sword Immortal Body immortal with the strongest sword cultivator physique, he has his own dignity.
"Hmph, you dare to challenge us? Fine, let me show you your true strength!"
A murderous glint flashed in the eyes of the Jin Dynasty princess. She said to the royal family members around her, "Keep an eye on him for me. I'll take care of him!"
As she spoke, Golden Divine Light erupted from the halberd in her hand, and her whole body exuded a domineering aura. She swooped down directly, and a golden Dharma Form appeared behind her, which even had the Aura of an ancient Immortal Deity.
"Ancient God Clan Bloodline!"
Upon seeing this, the others' eyes narrowed slightly.
Among the contestants, the most prominent Ancient God Clan was Shen Wuji.
But unexpectedly, this princess of the Jin Dynasty also had the bloodline of the ancient gods, though it seemed to be impure.
"Senior Brother Haotian, I'll fight for my spot myself!"
Gu Yan took a step forward. He proposed this decisive battle not only to defend his own dignity, but also because he did not want Li Hao to fight against the nine of them alone.
At this moment, he addressed Li Hao as "Senior Brother" for the first time.
Joining the Great Dream Nine Abyss was originally just a temporary stop for him. He didn't take the Sect, Li Hao, Yue Xi, and others seriously at all, thinking they would all be left behind and surpassed by him in the blink of an eye.
But at this moment, it seems that his heart has also taken root in this Sect.
Seeing that Gu Yan had already charged out, Li Hao didn't try to stop him. In any case, even if Gu Yan failed, he would still send him to the Top Hundred, and if he said there would be seven, then there would be seven.
Bang!
A clear Sword Light suddenly shone, transforming into a giant sword that slashed out and clashed with the golden halberd in Void, creating a violent explosion.
"Hmm? The Ancient Sword Immortal Body?"
Among the Jin Dynasty royal family, some people who saw Gu Yan's transformation showed surprise on their faces.
At this moment, Gu Yan's silver hair flew wildly, and his whole body exuded an extraordinary and otherworldly temperament. There was a silver sword mark on his forehead, which, like a split pupil, emitted a chilling and piercing Aura.
"Junior Brother Gu Yan?"
Yue Xi and the others were also surprised to see Gu Yan in such a state for the first time.
At this moment, Gu Yan exuded a terrifying Swordsman's aura, as if a drawn sword was buried within his body, and it was as if his spine was sculpted from a sword!
"Is this child planning to reveal his true colors?"
At the Mountain Summit, Old Man Li's expression changed slightly upon seeing this scene, and a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.
He still vividly remembered the scenes of bringing the child back, and knew that the boy was burdened with a Destiny of revenge.
Revealing his identity here now will naturally alert his enemies.
"Ancient Sword Immortal Body? This rare, top-tier sword cultivator's immortal body hasn't been lost yet."
"Such powerful Sword Intent! Is this the strongest sword cultivator's immortal body in the world?"
"I heard that the Ancient Sword Immortal Body Clan had long since disappeared, but I never expected them to reappear!"
"This year's Southern Region Assembly Battle is indeed teeming with Prodigy. Just the Emperor Platform Battle for the Top Hundred has produced so many Prodigy."
Discussions arose throughout the Mountain Range, and countless spectators were pleasantly surprised.
On the Emperor Platform.
With the impact, Gu Yan's body was thrown back, but after only a moment, he soared up again, Dharma Form a majestic, towering giant sword behind him!
This is its Dharma Form.
To take the sword as one's body, the sword as one's heart, and even the sword as one's god!
The Ancient Sword Immortal Body is Peerless Immortal Physique specifically created for sword practice.
"The Indestructible Sword Dao!"
An unprecedented divine light burst forth in Gu Yan's eyes as he stared directly at the Jin Dynasty princess. A silver-white longsword slowly grew in his hand, seemingly extending from his own bones, revealing a tangible swordsmanship sharpness!
"Um?"
The Jin Dynasty princess's eyes also showed solemnity. The Ancient Sword Immortal Clan had once ranked among the top ten of all the clans!
Although the Ancient God Clan is now among the Top Ten the Hundred Clans, the Ancient God Clan Bloodline in her body is not pure. Her mother is a member of the Ancient God Clan, but in this Bloodline, her Bloodline of the Emperor Jin.
Fortunately, the Emperor Blood was also extremely formidable.
"You actually forced me to get serious, huh? You've got guts!"
The Jin Dynasty princess's eyes were icy cold. Suddenly, her halberd burst forth with golden rainbow light, and a golden magic array appeared in front of her, emanating boundless immortal power and a trace of ancient god power.
She charged out with her halberd, her figure like a streak of light piercing through the Star River —a top-tier Immortal Arts Movement Method.
Bang!
As the halberd fell, the Void cracked open, and the Aura of the Space Origin was revealed from the halberd.
At this moment, Gu Yan's Sword Light also slashed upwards, the Sword Light condensed to the extreme, and when it touched the golden halberd, slight cracks appeared in the space on the Emperor Platform.
The force of the impact sent Li Hao and the others' hair flying.
"The Space Origin?"
Li Hao narrowed his eyes slightly. What caught his attention was not the princess of the Jin Dynasty, but that this junior brother had also mastered the origin of space and had reached the pinnacle of the third level!
Combined with his peak Fourth Layer Sword Dao, the power he unleashed at this moment was extremely formidable, in no way inferior to many of the Heavenly Prodigy Li Hao had previously defeated.
"Um?"
On another Emperor Platform, it was extremely quiet.
A figure in white sat undisturbed, while on the Emperor Platform, there were exactly ten seats available, no more, no less.
These ten people were all Heavenly Palace Disciple. Others who tried to set foot on this Emperor Platform were all forced back by the sword shadows casually swung by the white-robed youth. No one dared to rashly try to take on this toughest nut to crack.
Suddenly, the white-robed youth opened his eyes and saw the Heavenly Sword Dao Dharma Form on the Emperor Platform not far away. His eyes narrowed slightly.
They were actually from the same clan.
He was somewhat surprised, clearly not expecting to encounter his own kind here.
However, while that Sword Intent was sharp and fierce, it was still insufficient and somewhat immature.
"They seem to be one of your people."
Beside her, the Green-Robed Girl also opened her eyes, glanced at the Emperor Platform, and calmly said.
Sword Heart nodded slightly, then withdrew his gaze and said, "Your Sword Dao has a good momentum, but your foundation is too shallow."
"I am certainly not as good as you."
A rare, faint smile appeared on the lips of the Green-Robed Girl, like ice melting, dazzling to behold.
There is more than one Ancient Sword Immortal Body, but she knows that the senior brother beside her is a top genius even among those with the Ancient Sword Immortal Body.
Master himself has said this.
Meanwhile, on the imperial platform, Gu Yan and the princess of the Jin Dynasty were already locked in a fierce battle.
Gu Yan's swordsmanship was fierce and ruthless, with immense power, but the Jin Dynasty princess was equally powerful. In addition to the ancient god power contained in her halberd, she possessed a wide array of immortal techniques, and her movement skills far surpassed Gu Yan's. For a time, they were locked in a stalemate and fierce battle.
The other members of the Jin Dynasty royal family were surprised to see this. They hadn't expected that Li Hao would have such a person by his side. Judging from this combat strength alone, he was indeed qualified to enter the top 100.
However, with limited spots available, the elimination process is bound to be more brutal when facing them.
"Shinto, fall forever!"
Suddenly, the princess of the Jin Dynasty raised her hand, and opened her third ancient divine eye on her forehead. The golden dharma image behind her suddenly raised its hands, and a golden halberd was formed in her palms from the power of the surrounding world.
Accompanied by her angry shouts, it pressed down on Gu Yan.
Gu Yan's pupils contracted slightly as he sensed the power in the Dharma Form. His expression changed, but the next moment, he gritted his teeth, his eyes revealing a resolute will that soared to the heavens.
"Nothing can destroy my Sword Dao, nothing!!"
He roared and charged out like an angry lion for the first time, holding a solid silver-white longsword that unleashed a terrifying Sword Intent. He transformed into a silver-white light, Unity with his sword, and charged towards the golden halberd.
Bang!
A violent roar resounded, and the golden halberd in the Dharma Form's hand shattered. A streak of silver Sword Light shot out, extremely thin in front of the Golden Divine Light, yet it pierced through the Dharma Form.
"You!"
The ancient god's eye on the forehead of the Jin Dynasty princess wept blood. She looked at Gu Yan with shock and anger. The death rules of the imperial platform that had been suppressing her body were now unrestrained. Her facial flesh was festering and falling off, and her beautiful face was now rotting open like rotten flesh.
The sword light that Gu Yan transformed into spun rapidly, turning back to kill the princess of the Jin Dynasty.
While suppressing the rules of the Imperial Platform, the princess of the Jin Dynasty rapidly dodged and weaved. Her movements were extremely fast, and with the help of the Origin of Space and the Ultimate Realm of Returning to Nothingness, she easily shook off Gu Yan.
In a direct confrontation, she was no match for the young man, but her Movement Method was enough to prevent Gu Yan from touching her.
Gu Yan's flesh was also peeling away, making him look ferocious. He accelerated with all his might, but he still couldn't catch up with his opponent.
The time was too short. He had an exceptional Heavenly Talent for Sword Dao, but he didn't have enough energy to comprehend Movement Method techniques.
Seeing the two circling back and forth on the imperial platform, with the Jin Dynasty princess constantly dodging and Gu Yan relentlessly pursuing but unable to touch her, Li Hao knew that the battle had reached a stalemate.
"There's no need to waste any more time. This match is at best a draw!"
Seeing this, Jin Ziyin, who had deer antlers, also spoke up.
The rules of the Emperor Platform also apply to them at all times, so they naturally don't want to waste time with the two of them.
How is a draw calculated?
Li Hao countered with a question.
"Hmph, if it comes to a real Grand Battle, his Movement Method aren't up to par; he'll lose sooner or later!"
Jin Ziyin snorted coldly.
Li Hao raised an eyebrow, then immediately understood what the other party meant: they still had to be determined to drive them away and could not give up the second spot.
After all, if they give up the second spot, one of the other four will have to be eliminated, and their temporary alliance will collapse instantly.
"Since this contest is meaningless, there's no need to continue."
Li Hao said.
Seeing that Li Hao knew his thoughts, Jin Ziyin's expression grew even colder. He said, "Are you really going to join them and become our enemy? With his strength, he might be able to try his luck at other Emperor Platform, but staying here, there aren't enough spots for him!"
"Since that's the case, you can try your luck at other Emperor Platform. I can only leave three of you here."
Li Hao looked at the other four people beside Jin Ziyin and said, "There are three spots available. Is any of you willing to stay?"
The four were somewhat surprised by Li Hao's invitation, but they seemed to understand Li Hao intentions. Some remained calm, while others wore a sneer.
"Such words are meaningless. Since we've joined forces, we won't break up because of your words. Besides, you're not qualified to secure all six spots."
"In that case, you may all leave!"
As Li Hao spoke, a cold, sharp light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and a powerful, almost terrifying, Immortal Power was released from his body.
