Subduing the Emperor Platform
"Senior Brother Haotian (Junior Brother)!"
Yue Xi and the others stared in shock at the scene. They had seen Li Hao's sword before, which was extremely sharp, but they never expected that Li Hao's fist at this moment would be even more terrifying than the Sword Dao he had previously displayed!
This punch sent the Cloud Jin Imperial Clan and the other four people flying back. Their bodies were covered in cracks, and the previously suppressed Death Law spread throughout their bodies in an instant. They were all outstanding Heavenly Prodigy, but they became old and frail. Some of their bodies rotted, as if they had been turned from Demon Immortal Deity mud by a single punch.
"Ten Extreme Realm, two Terminal Realm —truly a top-tier Prodigy!"
Other powerful figures from the Tianzong Sect of other Immortal Dynasty Whispers, their eyes filled with solemnity.
The appearance of such an unparalleled Prodigy at the most prestigious Emperor Platform Grand Battle in the Southern Region is both astonishing and seemingly inevitable.
"Ten Extremes Realm Prodigy are already rare Heavenly Prodigy, occurring only once every ten thousand years. Several others have also displayed their talents on the other Emperor Platform. Yet, this time, several such Prodigy have appeared all at once!"
"His Path of the Fist itself isn't particularly powerful, but by incorporating other Great Dao Origin, its Path of the Fist has increased dramatically!"
Some people could see that Li Hao's Path of the Fist was only average, within the general range of Heavenly Prodigy. However, his power was integrated with the power of Time and Space and condensed the terrifying power of the Ten Extremes Realm. It was like white rice with a Manchu Han Imperial Feast. No matter how you put it together, it would be considered a top-notch meal!
"How is that possible?!"
Jin Ziyin looked at Li Hao in shock and anger. His immortal Immortal Body was covered with cracks. Although it was also one of the ten Immortal Body, comparable to Li Hao's Ancestral Immortal Body, his cultivation had not yet reached Perfection.
After all, while a top-tier Immortal Body is powerful, the comprehension and heavenly materials and earthly treasures required for cultivation are also extremely extravagant.
At this moment, he was surrounded by green light. His face, which was so handsome that it would make any man's heart flutter, was now cracked, and his hair had turned gray, exuding Aura of decay.
"Don't hold back! If we can't take him down, we won't even make it into the Top Hundred, let alone compete for the rest of the competition!"
Jin Ziyin's eyes turned ruthless, and he said in a sharp voice.
Even without him saying it, everyone else realized that Li Hao was a tough nut to crack, and that it would be difficult to take him down without serious effort.
Previously, they had been holding back some tactics, intending to use them in later battles. After all, if they used all their skills here, they wouldn't go far in the later Top Hundred Battle!
But now, they can no longer afford to think about what comes next.
"Nine Revolutions Sword Reverence Dao!"
The young man with the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal became solemn. The signs of aging and cracks on his body rapidly healed as they were forcibly suppressed by his own Immortal Power. With a wave of his hand, an extremely sharp Sword Intent emanated from his body, which was no less powerful than that of Gu Yan, who had fought against Jin Yushu earlier.
Seeing the fierce Sword Intent emanating from the other party, Gu Yan's eyes turned cold. He had thought that his Sword Dao was among the Higher Vehicle in this Heavenly Prodigy, but he never expected that someone he randomly encountered would be no less skilled in Sword Dao than himself.
However, he could also see that this young man with the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal was definitely qualified to enter the Top Hundred, and even had a chance to break into the Top Twenty!
As the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal on his forehead shone brightly, as radiant as Divine Radiance, nine artistic conceptions emerged behind him, merging into a Sword Qi. He raised his hand to grasp it, his eyes turning Killing Aura.
"Let's see if your fist is harder, or my sword!"
Li Hao's performance ignited his fighting spirit, and he even had the idea of challenging Li Hao to a one-on-one duel.
Whoosh!
All of this buildup was completed in an instant. He suddenly charged out with his sword, and the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form behind him followed suit, wielding a colossal sword that slashed at Li Hao's Dharma Form.
Li Hao's eyes were arrogant, his golden hair flying wildly. His eyes were like cold stars, without the slightest fluctuation. With each step he took, the Emperor Platform trembled violently. The tremor was like a trampling on everyone's hearts, making the contestants inside and outside the Emperor Platform feel their hearts pound.
An invincible aura spread with each step Li Hao took.
What is Heaven and Earth and earth? The space between your feet is a Heaven and Earth unto itself!
In this half-step Heaven and Earth, an invincible aura erupted from Li Hao. At this moment, he seemed capable of facing thousands of troops and gazing down upon the Emperor Platform!
Many people waiting for their chance outside the Emperor Platform were shocked and incredulous upon seeing this imposing presence.
BOOM!!
Invincible Fist Stance, as powerful as tearing through the sky, erupted without any attempt to evade, colliding with the Sword Qi of the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal.
In an instant, a terrifying Sword Intent erupted, but in just a moment, it was condensed and gathered by the raging fist intent, and then shattered with a single punch!
With a soft "poof," the young man with the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal spat out blood, staining his white robes, and flew backward, his eyes filled with rage and disbelief.
He himself possessed the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal, and according to the amplification of Immortal Power by the Immortal Seal, even if Li Hao had the Eight Flowers Immortal Seal, his own Immortal Power would be more than double that of Li Hao!
That double is enough to create a crushing defeat!
Even with other Immortal Arts and Secret Art to make up for it, it would be quite difficult to erase this gap, after all, his own immortal Immortal Arts and Sword Dao are all top-notch!
But now, he's being completely overwhelmed!
Looking at the young man who had been sent flying to the edge of the Emperor Platform by a punch and was seriously injured, Li Hao looked down at him with disdain and did not pursue him, as if he disdained to do so. He turned to look at the remaining eight people and strode out.
How could that be?
When Jin Ziyin and the others saw the young man with the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal defeated by a single punch, their expressions changed. The power of that sword strike was extremely terrifying. If they hadn't formed a formation, they would have found it very difficult to deal with it if they had fought it alone. As a result, they were defeated by Li Hao in an instant!
This young man isn't only destined for a hundred years of Soul Lifespan, how could he be so terrifying!
"Kill!"
Jin Ziyin roared, his body radiating a dazzling green light. The illusory image of the Chaos Giant Deer behind him let out a mournful cry, containing terrifying Primordial Spirit power capable of Killing God!
Unaware of the invading Primordial Spirit that was howling, Li Hao pressed forward, his fists like drawn bows, his hundred-foot-tall body radiating wild, primal power as he unleashed a punch.
Boom!
The space on the Emperor Platform seemed to distort, turning into a vortex from this punch, and shoving it horizontally towards the eight people.
At this moment, the Yin Yang Destruction Formation erupted, Destruction Dao, like a roulette wheel, was about to grind Li Hao's fist intent to dust!
However, the Origin Destruction, as well as the Yin and Yang principles, had no effect whatsoever on Li Hao's fist technique!
Upon witnessing this scene, Jin Ziyin and the other four were all horrified.
They were so proud, yet the strongest True Immortal Formation of the Yun Jin Immortal Dynasty actually failed?!
"How is that possible?!"
Their response was a terrifying, howling fist force that swept in, engulfing all five of them in a spatial vortex before being swept away, sending them flying backward and crashing to the edge of the Emperor Platform, nearly throwing them off.
The other three were also stunned by this sight. When they joined the Cloud Jin Imperial Clan, they had already experienced the domineering power of the Yin Yang Destruction Formation. They never expected that it would be so ineffective in front of Li Hao!
"No, impossible!"
Jin Yushu spat out a mouthful of immortal blood, got up from the ground, and looked at the hundred-foot-tall figure that resembled Demon God with fear in her eyes.
She suddenly recalled what the Imperial Clan family's patriarch had said: this Yin Yang Destruction Formation was invincible, but it would be completely ineffective against only one situation.
Having just learned this technique, she looked up curiously and asked, "What's going on?"
The Imperial Clan sect leader chuckled and said, "Once someone encounters the Nine Sequences Immortal Seal, all the great formations in the world will become ineffective!"
Myriad Daos in the world originate from the Nine Orders!
Jin Yushu naturally understood this principle: once he mastered the Nine Orders, as long as his understanding was deep enough, he could break through Myriad Daos in the world!
After all, the Nine Orders are the root, the Origin Yin and Yang, and the Great Dao of Destruction also extends from the Nine Orders. How could the Nine Orders be confined?
The memories of their past conversations flashed through her mind in an instant. Jin Yushu's face drained of color as she stared blankly at the hundred-foot-tall figure radiating an invincible aura.
Nine Orders... Immortal Seal?
The young man with the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal was considered a strong figure in this Southern Region Assembly Battle, let alone the Nine Orders!
That's someone even the Supreme would take as Personal Disciple and cultivate greatly!
Apart from Jin Yushu, Jin Ziyin and the others also suddenly realized this, and their faces turned horrified and ugly.
The thought that Li Hao defeated the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal with a single punch seemed to prove that, apart from the Nine Sequences Immortal Seal, who else could have such an exaggerated performance?!
"You, you bastard!"
Jin Ziyin stood up, looking at Li Hao with shock and anger. He hadn't expected the Emperor Platform he had chosen to be so tough. He should have chosen a different Emperor Platform to compete for!
Aside from the Emperor Clan, the Supreme Personal Disciple, and other Prodigy like the Ancient God Clan, the Emperor Platform he chose, Li Hao, was the easiest target he selected after considering Great Emperor platforms. Unexpectedly, this easy target turned out to be anything but easy, and might even be tougher than the other Emperor Platform!
Even that God Clan Youth, he felt that the other party might not be able to condense the Nine Sequences Immortal Seal!
Apart from the Cloud Jin Imperial Clan on the Emperor Platform, the other Cloud Jin Imperial Clan who had failed in the first two rounds of trials on the Mountain Summit, including some Imperial Clan from the distant Yun Jin Immortal Dynasty whose Soul Lifespan exceeded those who were unable to participate, all changed color upon seeing the Yin Yang Destruction Formation fail.
"Um?"
On the Cloud End, Emperor Jin's eyes narrowed, revealing a serious expression for the first time.
Li Hao's previous performance had only amused him, and he even admired him somewhat; he didn't dislike the boy.
But at that moment, he immediately realized that this young man possessed terrifyingly exceptional Heavenly Talent!
His Soul Lifespan was only a hundred years, yet he possessed the Nine Sequences Immortal Seal, which even surpassed the performance of many Immortal Emperors!
It should be noted that even the Heavenly Palace Supreme before us spent a thousand years condensing the Nine Sequences Immortal Seal, which is already an extremely Prodigy!
"The Nine Sequences Immortal Seal! He actually possesses the Nine Sequences Immortal Seal?!"
On the ground, Jin Fengling's expression changed upon seeing this scene, turning shocked and grim.
He suddenly remembered the Golden Dao Source Divine Fruit he had sought; he feared that the old tree had given it to this kid!
Otherwise, even if Li Hao mastered the Nine Orders, he would still need to comprehend a high level, at least the Origin Third-Level Realm, in order to completely ignore this Yin Yang Destruction Formation!
"You bastard, old tree spirit, you deserve to be driven out of Origin City!"
"You brat, you stole my fortuitous opportunity, you deserve to die!"
Anger and killing intent flashed in Jin Fengling's eyes as he stared intently at the figure on the Emperor Platform.
While many members of the Cloud Jin Imperial Clan were terrified, Li Hao was unaware that his Nine Sequences Immortal Seal had been exposed. However, he did not intend to deliberately conceal it. He did not directly reveal the power of the Immortal Seal at this time simply because he felt that he would not need it.
He strode out and walked towards the remaining three.
You're pretty good!
One of them had a gloomy expression, gave Li Hao a deep look, and then turned and flew directly out of the Emperor Platform.
Clearly, he could see that Li Hao was no match for him at this moment. After all, since the start of the battle, he hadn't even seen Li Hao unleash the full power of the Immortal Seal.
Once the power of the Immortal Seal is fully mobilized, it will appear on his forehead, which means that Li Hao still has reserves of strength. This is terrifying!
The other two were surprised that their opponent would desert at the last minute, and their expressions changed slightly, but they had no intention of retreating. One of the youths said, "It's a pleasure to come to this Southern Region Assembly Battle and meet Prodigy like you. I'd like to learn from you!"
As he spoke, a long sword materialized in his palm, and his aura suddenly deepened, radiating a sea-blue light.
Li Hao could see that he possessed an extremely deep Water Dao Origin, and it also had Fourth Layer!
Those who aspire to compete for a spot among the Top Hundred should not be underestimated.
However, even with that, the gap between them is too large.
He remained expressionless, unleashing his Half-Step Invincible Fist, a single punch blasting away, condensing the power of Fourth Layer of Time and Space.
The azure blade light slashed down, reaching not only the Fourth Layer of the Water Dao but also the Fourth Layer of the Blade Dao, enough to make one stand out among the heroes of the Tenth Layer True Immortal.
But in just a moment, his Knife Intent, honed through countless trials, shattered before Li Hao's Time-Space Power, and an invincible fist intent swept out, as if a giant mountain were pressing down.
The young man felt a terrifying aura above his head, as if it were Primordial Era ferocious beast. Li Hao's domineering eyes, under the influence of that Invincible Fist intent, resembled the deep, dark eyes of Primordial Era ferocious beast.
Bang!
He coughed up blood, flew backward, and fell directly outside the Emperor Platform.
He reincarnated Three Times, each time as an outstanding individual, a paragon of virtue and talent. Within his Sect and Immortal City, he was a celestial being, with no one even worthy to be mentioned alongside him.
But upon arriving here, he was no match for the young man's single punch and fell outside the Emperor Platform!
When he coughed up blood and got up from the ground, he only saw the boy's back; the boy didn't even turn around to look at him again!
At that moment, for the first time, the young man felt how vast and distant that sky beyond the sky truly was!
"I can't believe it..."
His eyes were unfocused, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips. In his three reincarnations, he had always stood out from the crowd. Now, in this peak Grand Battle in the Southern Region, he was merely the target of a true Prodigy's casual punch!
In front of Li Hao, a woman stood in mid-air. She had not yet fought Li Hao, but seeing that Li Hao had defeated the young man with a single punch, her expression turned ugly.
Finally, she gritted her teeth, lowered her head, and said, "This Emperor Platform is yours."
As he spoke, he turned and left.
Li Hao's voice came through coldly, "I don't need you to give way; you can try to fight for it!"
Upon hearing this, the woman's face turned crimson and looked extremely ugly, but she didn't turn around. She quickly turned around and rushed out of the Emperor Platform. She felt the rising power behind her and knew that if she said another word, she would most likely be punched out of the Emperor Platform!
In the blink of an eye, only the Cloud Jin Imperial Clan and the young man with the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal remained on the Emperor Platform, both of them seriously injured.
Seeing that the other three were no match for Li Hao, they knew that the situation was hopeless.
"Haotian, right? I'll remember that!"
Jin Ziyin's injuries had healed. As Bloodline the Chaos Giant Deer, he was among the top in healing among all races. However, even though he had recovered, he knew he could no longer fight Li Hao.
If Li Hao only possessed the Nine Sequences Immortal Seal, they might have been able to wear Li Hao down to death.
But as a member of the Cloud Jin Imperial Clan, how could Li Hao not know the hidden legends reflected in the light of the Heavenly Realms Xingchen behind him? This was the manifestation of the Terminal Realm of the Heaven and Earth Meridian, the All Heavens Star Meridian!
Faced with this Terminal Realm power, no amount of sheer numbers would be of any use, unless Li Hao could be killed in an instant!
Otherwise, they will be the ones who are worn down and killed!
"Walk!"
Without looking back, the five of them quickly retreated from the Emperor Platform.
After all, staying up there would require a great deal of effort to suppress the Death Law, Principle would become increasingly violent over time, and if they continued to stay there any longer, they would soon be unable to suppress it.
As the five retreated, the Death Law on the Emperor Platform vanished in an instant, as if it had never existed.
Beside them, Lin Qingying, Gu Yan, and the others who were silently resisting the Death Law all felt a sense of relief and a feeling of being able to breathe a sigh of relief.
They stared at Li Hao's back, which stood before them like Demon God, their eyes filled with complex emotions. They never expected that Li Hao would actually suppress the Cloud Jin Imperial Clan and everyone else by himself and drive them out of the Emperor Platform!
At this moment, on the Emperor Platform, the young man with the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal stood at the edge. Although he remained on the Emperor Platform after the departure of the Cloud Jin Imperial Clan and others, he was only the eighth person on the Emperor Platform.
His eyes held a complex expression. When Li Hao easily defeated all five members of the Cloud Jin Imperial Clan, he knew that even if he used his trump card, he would probably only be able to fight the opponent to a draw at best, and might not even win this time.
After all, Li Hao's Immortal Seal had not yet been revealed. He guessed that it might also be the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal, otherwise it would be impossible to condense such a vast and powerful Immortal Power force!
"I lost."
He said to Li Hao.
Li Hao turned to look at him, his eyes calm, as if to say, "Isn't this obvious?"
Seeing Li Hao's gaze, the young man's lips twitched slightly, but as a Heavenly Prodigy, he possessed the pride of Heavenly Prodigy; losing was losing, and he harbored no resentment.
"There are still spots available at the Emperor Platform. Can I stay?"
He asked Li Hao.
Li Hao looked up, his gaze sweeping across the area outside the Emperor Platform. Seeing hundreds of figures gathered around, he said coldly:
"You can stay if you want; there are two spots left. Anyone else who wants to come in will have to defeat you."
