Li Hao's fist
"Such powerful Sword Intent!"
"He's using his fists, so how come his Sword Dao is just as good as his Path of the Fist?!"
"Whether he uses his fists or a sword, we saw his superb Swordsmanship in the True Immortal Secret Realm before."
When Li Hao raised his hand and unleashed that sword strike, the crowd outside the Emperor Platform gasped and began to discuss it amongst themselves.
That overwhelming Sword Intent, reflected in the Southern Region, felt like a tearing sensation just by looking at it with the naked eye. The indestructible Sword Intent reached straight to the heart, seemingly splitting open the sea of consciousness within!
To have such a profound experience just by watching is unimaginable; one can hardly comprehend what it would be like to personally face that Sword Intent.
Bang!
"Is that a sword? You wanted to exchange blows? Is this your real killing move?!"
Zhan Yuchen's eyes blazed with soaring fighting spirit, and dark silver light condensed on his fists. After the previous competition on the Emperor Platform ended, he drew his opponent and learned that it was Haotian. His Master then retrieved and projected Li Hao's performance on the Emperor Platform from time to time for him to watch.
He had a strong impression of this Prodigy with the shortest Soul Lifespan, but he hadn't considered him an opponent before. After all, Soul Lifespan only indicated Heavenly Talent Prodigy, not necessarily how much of a ripple he could make in this Southern Region Assembly Battle.
However, during the battle for the Emperor Platform, Li Hao's Invincible Fist intent surprised and excited him.
Among the many Heavenly Prodigy on the Emperor Platform, there are very few Path of the Fist. He never expected to encounter Path of the Fist like himself. He was extremely looking forward to this battle. However, Li Hao brought out the Sword Dao, which was no less impressive than the Path of the Fist he had used before!
"Break!"
Silver Light appeared on Zhan Yuchen's forehead, and his body emanated a special Secret Method of the Zhan Tian Clan, causing his Immortal Power to surge.
As a towering fist shadow descended, Li Hao's Azure Sky Sword Qi from three dimensions of Time and Space also met it head-on.
With a loud bang, a violent shockwave erupted from the Emperor Platform, as if two Xingchen or meteorites had collided. The terrifying impact rippled outwards, and the Void distorted slightly.
Li Hao's Swordsmanship dissipated, a gap was created by the force of that fist, and the power of Time and Space and time was shattered.
Zhan Yuchen's fist shadow also dissipated, and the remaining force impacted Li Hao's Eternal Dao Domain, where it was annihilated by the Time-Space Power within the Dao Domain.
In this initial encounter, the two sides were evenly matched, and neither gained the upper hand.
"Good, good, that's great!"
Zhan Yuchen's eyes shone brightly, his Immortal Power surged, and a silver light appeared on his forehead, revealing a hidden mark of the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal.
"The Nine Flowers Immortal Seal, it's the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal again!"
"My goodness, how many Nine Flowers Immortal Seal users are there now?"
"What's there to be afraid of? Haotian defeated a Nine Flowers Immortal Seal during the competition at the Emperor Platform, so he must be one too!"
"That's different. This is the Zhan Tian Clan, and the Zhan Tian Clan's Nine Flowers Immortal Seal is absolutely the Heavenly Prodigy of the Heavenly Prodigy!"
Countless people looked with surprise at the Immortal Seal on Zhan Yuchen's forehead, watching his aura rise steadily, reaching a level unimaginable to the True Immortal Realm.
At this moment, Zhan Yuchen's power was so great that even a low-level Immortal Lord Realm might not be able to suppress him.
"Again!"
Zhan Yuchen let out a low roar, and the force of his fists rippled with terrifying waves, causing the surrounding Void to tremble. His hands were filled with a heart-stopping power.
A hint of seriousness appeared in Li Hao's eyes. Although the opponent had used the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal, he had done so with extreme restraint, making it impossible for anyone to discern which nine Great Dao composed of the Nine Flowers, and he was still holding back his trump card.
However, during the previous Sword Qi clash, Li Hao could sense that his opponent also possessed Space Dao and was at a considerable level.
At this moment, he also released the Immortal Power within his body. The thick, mist-like Immortal Power was released rapidly, revealing the Extreme Realm Power, and the Dharma Form appeared behind him.
Then, the mark of the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal slowly appeared on his forehead.
However, like his opponent, Li Hao did not use full force, but only borrowed part of the power of the Immortal Seal.
Even so, the Immortal Power released by the Nine Sequences Nine Flowers Immortal Seal is already extremely vast Feiran.
In the blink of an eye, Li Hao's momentum surged, surpassing Zhan Yuchen's.
"As expected, Haotian also Nine Flowers Immortal Seal!"
"These are indeed top-tier Heavenly Prodigy. If the Top Hundred Battle is this intense, what will the battles for the Top Ten and the Champion be like?!"
The crowd outside the Emperor Platform was overjoyed. They were not surprised by Li Hao's Immortal Seal. After all, the power Li Hao displayed when he competed for the Emperor Platform was too strong. If it weren't for the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal, it would have been shocking.
"Um?"
When Zhan Yuchen saw that Li Hao's Immortal Power surpassed his own, his expression changed slightly. Although he hadn't released the full power of the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal, neither had Li Hao.
He took a deep breath, and a crack appeared on his forehead. It was the Battle Heaven Emperor Mark of the Battle Heaven Clan, passed down from their ancestor, the Battle Heaven Immortal Emperor. When the Bloodline is pure enough, there is a chance to activate the Battle Heaven Emperor Mark. Even True Immortal Realm would receive the blessing of the Zhan Tian's Battle Intent.
In an instant, his aura became even more terrifying. Behind him stood a majestic Dharma Form between Heaven and Earth. Although he was only at the True Immortal Realm, he seemed to be able to hold up Heaven and Earth and look down on All Things.
"Then let's get serious!"
Zhan Yuchen activated the Battle Heaven Emperor Mark and instantly roared towards Li Hao. His figure stepped across the Return to the Ruins and approached Li Hao with the lightning-fast Battle Heaven Movement Art.
His figure shot forward like Kunpeng, carrying an unstoppable force. He could not be detected in the Return to Emptiness Extreme Realm and instantly appeared in Li Hao's Eternal Dao Domain.
However, as soon as he stepped into the Eternal Dao Domain, he felt the viscous Time-Space Power spread throughout his body. He could avoid the Space Origin within it and extend along the power of the rules, but the time distortion within, which kept accelerating and reversing, made him feel extremely uncomfortable and wanted to vomit blood.
Is this the Time Origin?
His eyes widened in fury. Under the repeated tearing of the power of time, he poured all his Immortal Power into his immortal body, making it the Battle Heaven Immortal Body, which was in no way inferior to Li Hao's Ancestral Immortal Body.
He used his immortal body to push horizontally, tearing Time Reversal, and smashed a punch down towards Li Hao's head.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye, but it already represented a fierce battle between the two sides.
Li Hao looked up, waved his hands, and unleashed Triple Azure Heaven Sword Qi once again.
Bang!
The unstoppable Azure Sky Sword Qi instantly cleaved through Zhan Yuchen's Fist Art, leaving a deep, bone-revealing sword wound on his fist.
But the force of that punch remained concentrated and did not dissipate, directly striking Li Hao's head.
With a loud bang, Li Hao's head exploded on the spot, but it regenerated in an instant.
For someone who has mastered the Indestructible Extreme Realm, a head explosion is not even considered a minor injury. Especially when combined with the All Heavens Star Meridian, where Immortal Power is inexhaustible and can be unleashed to its maximum extent, the damage can be regenerated in an instant.
However, this scene was extremely impactful to outsiders.
Zhan Yuchen crossed into Li Hao's Dao Domain and smashed Li Hao's head with a single punch, leaving countless people stunned. The power of that punch seemed to be able to shatter the Emperor Platform!
"So strong!"
"As expected of the Zhan Tian Clan, this is the true value of being among the Top Ten races in the True Realm!"
"The Battle Heaven Emperor Mark! I never imagined I'd witness the Battle Heaven Emperor Mark manifest in my lifetime!"
As everyone Whispers in shock, Zhan Yuchen had already withdrawn from Li Hao's Dao Domain. His eyes were cold as he said, "Your Sword Dao is strong, but not strong enough!"
Li Hao nodded, "That sword strike was indeed so."
Seeing Li Hao's reaction Zhan Yuchen was slightly taken aback, then sneered, "Stop holding back, unleash the full power of your Immortal Seal!"
Li Hao shook his head slightly. It wasn't that bad yet, but he really should bring out something real.
"Again!"
He said calmly.
Then, Immortal Power gathered in his palm, Battle Heaven Control Method of the Heaven-Following Ancestral Scripture was activated.
When Old Wang taught him the Heaven-Following Ancestral Scripture, he possessed the Ancestral Immortal Body and the Control Art Battle Heaven Control Method, both of which were top-tier techniques of the True Immortal Realm.
With Li Hao's Imperial Dao the Battle Heaven Control Method to Perfection, he can condense nine strands of Immortal Power, each of which can double his power!
At this moment, as the Five Daos Immortal Power condensed, the fluctuations of Immortal Power on his body increased several times over, instantly overshadowing Zhan Yuchen.
"Hmm? This is the Battle Heaven Control Method?"
Zhan Yuchen's eyes narrowed as he recognized Li Hao's Immortal Arts. Their Zhan Tian Clan also possessed this method, but it was incomplete.
This Imperial Dao Immortal Arts involves two Immortal Emperors, unknown to outsiders, but known to the Zhan Tian Clan. In the past, the Battle Heaven Immortal Emperor and the Tian Yang Immortal Emperor were friends and jointly created two Immortal Arts.
One is the Battle Heaven Eight Desolations, and the other is the Battle Heaven Control Method.
The Battle Heaven Immortal Emperor left his Battle Heaven Eight Desolations technique to his clansmen and also received half of the Battle Heaven Control Method True Outline from the Heavenly Tian Yang Immortal Emperor. The Tian Yang Immortal Emperor also received half of the Battle Heaven Eight Desolations technique. However, when Li Hao inherited it, he already had the Battle Heaven Control Method, so there was no need for him to cultivate the Battle Heaven Eight Desolations technique. The amplification sources of the two Secret Art were similar and could not be superimposed.
"You actually possess the Battle Heaven Control Method? Who are you?!"
Zhan Yuchen looked at Li Hao with surprise and doubt, but quickly realized that this was not the time to discuss these things. His eyes revealed fighting spirit, and he no longer held back, instantly unleashing the Battle Heaven Eight Desolations Secret Art.
As the phantom images of Immortal Power beasts appeared around him, each beast was a concrete manifestation of Immortal Power, capable of doubling his Immortal Power.
In the blink of an eye, four strange beasts appeared, their Immortal Power increasing fourfold.
However, when he unleashed the Four Symbols level, he discovered that his own Immortal Power still couldn't catch up with Li Hao's, and his expression changed slightly. He could only unleash his full power.
With the appearance of the fifth strange beast, his Immortal Power rose another level, but it was still only barely close to that of Li Hao.
"Space Rending Fist!"
He suddenly raised his hand, revealing the Space Origin, which condensed into his fist. This punch was both violent and terrifyingly sharp.
"Cut!"
Li Hao swung his sword again, but just before he could strike, he condensed another burst of Immortal Power, increasing his strength and overwhelming his opponent.
Zhan Yuchen noticed it, but it was too late. He roared and activated his Bloodline power, then with a bang, he charged into Li Hao's Dao Domain. The two Dao Domain collided violently, and finally, their Fist Sword clashed. The fierce impact sent both of them flying backward.
Li Hao retreated dozens of meters before quickly regaining his balance. The power of the All Heavens Star Meridian allowed him to recover to his peak condition in no time.
Zhan Yuchen, however, was sent flying hundreds of meters before regaining his footing. His Aura was somewhat disordered, but he quickly stabilized it.
"Break!!"
A fierce fighting spirit flashed in Zhan Yuchen's eyes, and his aura surged once more—it was another Secret Art.
He charged at Li Hao again, this time directly using his Bloodline power. The Battle Heaven Emperor Mark on his forehead also revealed a silver glow, causing his power to double on the original basis!
If it was a five-fold increase before, it's now ten times!
The immense force of the fist pressed down, shattering the very Great Dao Origin within Li Hao's Dao Domain, rendering it unstoppable.
With a loud bang, Li Hao's Sword Qi shattered as he was punched into the Sealing Array Barrier.
Zhan Yuchen silver hair flying, his gaze icy, strode towards Li Hao.
"Your Sword Dao is insufficient, not even as good as your previous Path of the Fist. Show me your true skill, or you won't have a chance for the next punch!"
He spoke as he walked, his aura rapidly building. If he also possessed the All Heavens Star Meridian, he wouldn't need to say a word; his second attack would be launched almost seamlessly.
Upon hearing his words, Li Hao's eyes flickered slightly. Both his Sword Dao and Path of the Fist were at the Eleventh Dan, but his Path of the Fist had previously incorporated more Nine Orders Power.
"Want to exchange fistfights? Fine, I'll grant your wish."
Li Hao said.
He sheathed his Sword Qi and instantly activated the Battle Heaven Control Method to its limit. Nine strands of Immortal Power emanated from his body like chains, entangling his entire being, and his aura immediately rose to the same level as Zhan Yuchen's.
He clenched his fist, stared intently at his opponent, and gathered a powerful, Invincible Fist.
Sensing the force of Li Hao's punch, Zhan Yuchen's eyes gleamed with excitement. Was he finally going to unleash his true power?
"Bring it on!"
He clenched his fists as well. This time, he no longer hid them. The Nine Flowers Immortal Seal on his forehead was completely exposed, radiating a dazzling light. Within it were Five Daos of the Nine Sequence Origin Aura, namely Space, Metal, Wood, Form, and Control!
His ability to recover so quickly and exchange blows with Li Hao was thanks to the Wood Dao Origin.
His fists are so domineering because of the Metal Dao and space.
His form and control allowed him to achieve Perfection in both his immortal body and Immortal Arts.
As an intense pressure emanated from him, golden flames ignited on the fists of the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form behind him—a phenomenon resembling burning, manifested by the extreme condensation of Immortal Power.
Li Hao's eyes were solemn. At this moment, he regarded him as a player in a duel on the Go Board, showing him respect and seriousness!
An invisible wave gathered on his fist, but not both fists, but one hand.
The Half-Step Invincible Fist emphasizes that Perfection is Perfection.
Like the deepest sound that is silent!
Zhan Yuchen saw Li Hao's eyes, his Zhan Tian spirit seemed to ignite. He could tell that his opponent was serious and that this would be decided with a single punch!
In the blink of an eye, the combined power of both sides reached its peak, standing like two furnaces on either side of the Emperor Platform. Countless people outside the Emperor Platform fell silent, their eyes fixed on the scene without daring to blink.
"Aaaaaah!!"
With Zhan Yuchen's roar, his figure shot out like a silver meteor. His Dharma Form seemed to merge with his body in an instant, and two golden Fist Art descended from the sky with terrifying power, seemingly about to smash through the entire Emperor Platform!
Li Hao stood on the stage, slowly moving one foot back half a step.
Within this half-step, there lies the square and the circle, heaven and Heaven and Earth, the pinnacle of time, Time and Space and Form Control!
All four Great Dao Origin are poured into this half-step and this punch.
BOOM!!
Li Hao's fist swung out like the rising Mingyue over the sea, aiming to lift and pierce the entire sky!
The Divine Radiance scattered in an instant, like boundless flames, shooting out like millions of golden fluff at the center of the impact, and a black crack appeared at the center of the impact.
The Void of the True Realm is a hundred times more solid than that of the Pseudo-Realm, but it was torn apart at this moment, revealing an annihilated nothingness.
