On the Emperor Platform, Gu Yan turned defeat into victory and entered the Top Five.

Following the announcement by the Immortal Guard Commander, all the Immortal Dynasty in the Southern Region were in an uproar, after all, the disciple defeated by the other side was the disciple of that Supreme!

Although Personal Disciple, being able to become a disciple of Supreme master is no simple matter.

Moreover, Gu Yan's performance amazed countless True Immortal Realm, especially the many sword cultivators in the Southern Region, who sincerely admired him.

"What kind of the Great Dream Nine Abyss Sect Sect? They're incredibly strong. If I remember correctly, this is their third Sect to make it into the Top Five, right?"

"The name of this Sect sounds familiar; it seems I've heard of it many years ago."

With Gu Yan's victory, the various Immortal Dynasty in the Southern Region were talking about the Great Dream Nine Abyss Sect. Some elders had a look of reminiscence in their eyes, thinking of certain sealed and forbidden past events.

But tens of thousands of years have passed, and no one dares to talk about that matter casually anymore.

"The Great Dream Nine Abyss, how could my dynasty not know of such a powerful sect before?"

"Three Sword Dao Heavenly Prodigy have actually emerged, all making it into the Top Five. On the other hand, only one of the two disciples from the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Pavilion has advanced!"

In the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty, many people were talking about it and inquiring everywhere about the Great Dream Nine Abyss Sect.

Within the Sect's core, the Nine Abysses was abuzz with excitement. Many disciples cheered and some elders were even moved to tears, never imagining that one day, the Great Dream Nine Abyss would once again become famous All Under Heaven the Southern Region.

As Gu Yan landed on the Emperor Platform, Li Tiemu's old face was beaming with joy as he rushed forward to greet him, repeatedly cheering.

The other elders and disciples of the Sword Abyss also looked on with envy. The Sword Abyss was considered a relatively declining lineage among the Nine Abysses, but unexpectedly, they were the ones who upheld the glory of the entire Sect this time.

Gu Yan's eyes were cold and clear. Since comprehending the Sword Immortal True Intent, his heart had also changed. He had a transcendent feeling when looking at everything, and his heart had become more peaceful. Only the vast Sword Intent remained in his heart, which could pierce through everything and also contain everything.

His gaze fell on Li Hao. If he were to clash with Li Hao's previous Path of the Fist again, he felt he would have a fighting chance, but he wasn't sure if he could win.

However, that's what makes it even more exciting.

If everything in the world could be completely controlled, it would be Withered Silence and uninteresting.

Thinking of this, a slight smile appeared on his lips as he said to Li Hao, "Senior Brother, I look forward to seeing your strongest Sword Dao."

Li Hao was slightly taken aback. When he saw the pure look in his Junior Little Brother's eyes, he felt a sense of familiarity. Wasn't this exactly how he was when Chess and Angling? That kind of passion that transcended winning and losing, and was completely immersed in it.

Yes, it will.

A smile spread across his face as he spoke earnestly.

Gu Yan also laughed, no longer as aloof as before, appearing easygoing and indifferent.

"Ancient Sword Immortal Body, Da Great Dream Nine Abyss really dares to take it in. First it was the Calamity Clan, and now it's the Ancient Sword Immortal Body, humph!"

"This Ancient Sword Immortal Body doesn't even come to our sect? They're blind! By the way, could it be that their clan is living in seclusion in the Yan-Chu Earthly Territory?"

"I remember this young man's Soul Lifespan is only a few hundred years, which is quite young. If he cultivates for another five hundred years, he will be an absolutely dazzling existence compared to others."

In the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Pavilion, many elders had gloomy eyes, never expecting that Great Dream Nine Abyss would steal the limelight.

Fortunately, in this Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty, many True Immortal Realm disciples from other Tianzong also suffered defeats and remained relatively quiet. Only the battle for the Immortal Lord Realm group has not yet begun, and the top Heavenly Prodigy from each sect have not yet participated in the competition.

As time went by, the fifty-group Grand Battle gradually came to an end.

Other disciples of the Great Dream Nine Abyss Sect were not so lucky. Under Li Hao's protection, they entered the Top Hundred, but in individual battles, they were all defeated by other Immortal Dynasty Imperial Clan or great Heavenly Prodigy.

However, even so, it was already a tremendous joy for the Dream Master and the others. Among the Top Fifty, their sect had three members, a performance that surpassed many Tianzong and made them the center of attention!

With the Top Hundred concluded, the top Top Fifty have been announced.

The Immortal Guard Commander stepped forward and announced loudly, "Rest for half a day. Next, we will draw the Top Fifty to compete. You may all take a short rest!"

For the participating Heavenly Prodigy, who possess numerous Extreme Realm Power, they can recover to their peak condition as long as they have a chance to catch their breath. However, continuous battles can cause mental fatigue, and half a day of rest is enough to recuperate.

Within the Sect, the Dream Master divided the domains, enveloping Li Hao and the others in three separate Barrier, allowing them to cultivate in seclusion without being disturbed.

Li Hao sat within the Barrier, his thoughts replaying his earlier insights.

The Aura of the Heavenly Dao was revealed, drawing upon the Top Hundred. The Heavenly Dao Is Impartial, yet All Things are for the common good!

He possesses Nine Sequence Origin, but the one he uses most often is the sword he has held since childhood.

Is this another instance of favoritism?

Although Sword Dao is not his true passion compared to Chess, painting Angling, it is the method of combat he is most accustomed to and most fond of.

But if one cannot obtain what one desires, yet is invincible even at the slightest insurmountable barrier, isn't that also a form of self-redemption?

Li Hao was in a daze, his thoughts swirling. He had mastered the Nine Sequences Immortal Seal, but he had yet to touch the legendary supreme Dao Source Immortal Seal.

What is the Daoyuan?

The origin of the Great Dao, the Nine Orders, encompasses Myriad Daos; their mutual integration constitutes the origin of the Great Dao.

But how to integrate them is the problem.

Which is the primary focus and which is the secondary focus? Since they are integrated, there is a hierarchy.

Or perhaps, are they both primary and secondary?

Li Hao closed his eyes and concentrated, but in his thoughts he vaguely caught a Flash of Insight.

He suddenly remembered that when he received the inheritance of the Tian Yang Immortal Emperor, the Imperial Hall had two requirements. The first was to find the reincarnations of the Immortal Emperor's three Personal Disciples, so that they could also be promoted to Personal Disciple.

The second is to master the Dao Source Immortal Seal.

The Nine Flowers Immortal Seal he previously possessed could only grant him the status of formal disciple.

The Heavenly Palace Disciple that Gu Yan had previously defeated was formal disciple of that Supreme, and his status was equivalent to Gu Yan's.

Li Hao still remembered that Old Wang's explanation was that the Immortal Emperor was the Ultimate existence in the True Realm, the end of cultivation. Without the aptitude of the Dao Source Immortal Seal, one could not reach that level.

But after careful consideration, Li Hao realized that this statement wasn't entirely accurate.

After all, if Immortal Deity did not perish in battle, their lifespans would be almost Immortality; true Immortal Capital live for 100,000 years!

Of course, the vast majority of True Immortal rarely die of old age. After all, cultivators all have a competitive spirit. Once they become True Immortal, they want to become Immortal Lord. Once they become Immortal Lord, they want to be King-Sealing and step into the Immortal King Realm to become a regional overlord!

Competition, however, can bring disaster. Venturing into Forbidden Zone to search for treasures, competing with others, or robbing Cultivation Resources, if done too often, can lead to death.

But regardless of the circumstances, these were all accidental deaths.

Given a long lifespan, qualifications are not as significant as one might imagine.

Heavenly Prodigy's arduous cultivation for a hundred years can rival an ordinary person's thousand years of cultivation, while an ordinary Immortal Deity's cultivation for ten thousand years can also rival Heavenly Prodigy's thousand years of cultivation.

As long as you live long enough, you will eventually become invincible.

"Perhaps Old Wang isn't entirely clear about the Immortal Emperor Realm either, after all, he's only at the Immortal King Realm. Maybe the reason Immortal Emperor only accepts disciples with Dao Source Immortal Seal, or those with the potential to become Dao Source Immortal Seal Nine Sequences Immortal Seal, as his Personal Disciple is because the Dao Source Immortal Seal is one of the prerequisites for becoming Immortal Emperor, possessing an absolute causal relationship, rather than merely proving that one has the aptitude to cultivate to the final stage."

"After all, it's not uncommon for a child Heavenly Prodigy to become just another ordinary person after thousands of years."

Li Hao pondered deeply. If it was a necessary cause-and-effect relationship, then combined with another prerequisite for becoming Immortal Emperor Realm, it would be to comprehend the Heavenly Dao Emperor Heart.

Only when Dao Heart reaches such a level can one master the Emperor Dao!

Therefore, cultivating the Dao Source Immortal Seal is a prerequisite for the Emperor Dao, and the transformation of this Dao Source Immortal Seal is mostly similar to a certain Emperor Realm state.

In other words, his previous realization of the Heavenly Dao Is Impartial, Heavenly Dao is closest to the Emperor Dao, meant he had already touched the threshold of the Dao Source Immortal Seal.

Using the various rumors about the Immortal Emperor Realm to deduce the Dao Source Immortal Seal, Li Hao suddenly gained some insight.

The fusion of the Nine Sequences Immortal Seal is related to comprehending the Heavenly Dao. At the moment of fusion, one may be able to touch a trace of the Emperor Realm, which is a prerequisite for becoming an Immortal Emperor.

As Li Hao pondered, the voice of the Dream Master suddenly rang out.

"Haotian, your match is about to begin."

The voice was gentle and soothing, and although it brought Li Hao out of his thoughts, it didn't make him feel noisy.

These words still startled Li Hao, who couldn't help but open his eyes and look up. He saw fifty golden phantoms standing in pairs above the Emperor Platform in front of him, having already completed the extraction.

Li Hao was somewhat taken aback, and looked at the Dream Master beside him, saying, "Half a day has already Past?"

"Past a while. I saw you were resting with your eyes closed, and I didn't want to disturb you, so I didn't call you before."

The Dream Master said that she was worried about affecting Li Hao, and she wouldn't have summoned him so easily if Li Hao wasn't about to appear.

Li Hao was slightly taken aback, not expecting that so much time had Past in the outside world just from having a fleeting thought, leaving him somewhat dazed.

At this moment, his gaze swept across the area and he quickly saw his own golden phantom standing together with another figure.

The other person was a tall, beautiful woman with a captivating appearance and ethereal eyes.

Following the golden phantom, Li Hao searched around but couldn't find the woman anywhere nearby.

"Your opponent is very strong; he is Heavenly Prodigy of the Ghost Clan."

Seeing Li Hao's sweeping gaze, the Dream Master raised his hand and pointed to him.

On a Mountain Summit on the west side, there was a group of seven figures in black robes. Five of them were old men with profound and restrained Aura. Li Hao could not discern their cultivation levels, but from the feeling emanating from them, he realized that they were all at the Immortal King Realm, probably on par with the Dream Master beside him.

In the center of the five elderly men stood two women in black dresses, about the same age, both in their early twenties, and they looked remarkably alike; they were twins.

However, the two women had different temperaments. After careful observation, Li Hao discovered that one was True Immortal Realm, while the other was Immortal Lord Realm!

As he was observing them, perhaps sensing his intense gaze, the two women looked in Li Hao's direction, and one of the older men followed Li Hao gaze.

"You're not so lucky; your opponent is also a contender for a Top Ten finish."

The Dream Master said solemnly, "The Ghost Clan, like the Battle Heaven Clan, is one of the Top Ten strongest clans in the True World Hundred Clans, with Immortal Emperor presiding over them! However, the Ghost Clan does not belong to our Southern Region. I don't know why they have come to the Southern Region to participate in the war this time. I guess they want to witness the style of the Southern Region's Heavenly Prodigy, or test the level of the Southern Region's Heavenly Prodigy."

Li Hao was slightly taken aback, staring at the other person. When he saw the other person looking over, he did not look away, but simply nodded slightly.

"Miss, that young man is your opponent. His performance was quite good. Although he didn't reveal his Bloodline power, it's unlikely that he's just Primitive Human Race. It's just that the Battle Heaven Clan failed to unleash his power."

Among the seven members of the Ghost Clan, the elder spoke in a low, gentle voice.

Although he was Immortal King Realm, he was quite respectful to the two women beside him, after all, their grandfather was one of the top experts in the Ghost Clan.

"Uncle Yan, judging from his previous fighting style, what race do you think he belongs to?"

The woman from the True Immortal Realm asked softly, nodding to the young man, but she did not respond, having already withdrawn her gaze.

"This..."

Upon hearing this, the old man pondered for a moment and said, "He previously used the long-sealed and nearly lost immortal Immortal Arts, Blue Heaven, multiple times. This Immortal Arts was created by the former Tian Yang Immortal Emperor, but back then, to enhance the power of the True Realm, that Immortal Emperor passed it on to many great clans, and its true nature remains unknown. However, those great clans no longer pass it on, and instead use the new Immortal Arts created by this Supreme."

"You mean, he's that Immortal Emperor's disciple?"

The woman asked in surprise.

The old man shook his head slightly and said, "That's unlikely. If it were, I wouldn't have come here to participate, after all..."

At this point, he stopped talking and said, "In my opinion, his methods are somewhat similar to those of the Chaos Clan. Their cultivation is complex. The Chaos Clan is naturally highly compatible with Myriad Daos, possessing a wide variety of techniques, yet they can create their own unique system of Secret Art. Every Heavenly Prodigy has their own path, somewhat similar to his!"

"The Chaos Clan?"

The Ghost Clan woman's eyes flickered slightly. Among the Top Ten True World Hundred Clans, her Ghost Clan race ranked seventh, while the Chaos Clan ranked fourth!

"In that case, the Battle Heaven Clan's defeat was not unjust. However, failing to force out their Bloodline power is truly incompetent. I want to see if they can continue to hide it this time," she said softly, her eyes filled with confidence.

"The Chaos Clan isn't from the Southern Region, but from the Eastern Region. They've joined forces with the Ancestral Dragon of the Ancestor Dragon Court Ancestral Dragon Court to suppress the Eastern Region. It's unbelievable that they'd appear here. Could it be that they, like us, have come here to investigate the quality of the Southern Region's Heavenly Prodigy?"

The old man, however, showed a thoughtful expression, somewhat puzzled.

"That's perfect. Let's take this opportunity to experience the skills of the Chaos Clan's Heavenly Prodigy. I just don't know if he's the strongest Heavenly Prodigy of the Chaos Clan, but judging from his Soul Lifespan, he probably is!"

The Ghost Clan woman's eyes flickered, followed by a soft laugh. She said, "Talent is one thing, but the path of cultivation is long and arduous. Some difficulties that ordinary people can easily overcome are fraught with peril for some peerless Prodigy, preventing them from ever reaching their full potential. Such is the strangeness of the world. Who can know who will definitely make it to the end? At least in this Emperor Platform Grand Battle, only strength matters. Whoever wins and whoever loses, standing at the end, is the true Heavenly Prodigy!"

Hearing her words, the old man nodded, understanding that she was right.

That boy's talent was truly Prodigy; to have cultivated to such a level in just a hundred years was nothing short of terrifying.

If we calculate based on the current speed of cultivation, it will be incredible in a thousand years, and one can reach the invincible Immortal Lord Realm!

But that's just a calculation, based on the current pace of cultivation. Once you encounter a threshold or bottleneck, that's a different story.

The bottlenecks for Heavenly Prodigy vary. Some are extremely powerful in combat but struggle with their Dao Heart, while others have extremely strong Dao Heart but are terrible at cultivation, even slower than ordinary people.

"The powerful figures in the Southern Region have already discerned my identity. Since I'm here, I must at least make it into the Top Five. If I'm going to lose, it can only be to the Emperor Clan or to those two Supreme's Direct Disciples."

The Ghost Clan woman's gaze swept across the crowd. So far, the only opponents she could acknowledge were the young man from the Emperor Clan and the two Supreme's Direct Disciples. These were opponents she believed she could only be 10% confident of defeating.

As for the others, she neither wanted to lose nor believed she would lose.

"If he truly is Chaos Clan, then you, Miss, will likely have to go all out in this battle."

The old man offered this reminder.

The Chaos Clan is, after all, the fourth strongest clan in the True Realm, with an extremely profound and terrifying foundation, beyond imagination.

The Ghost Clan woman nodded slightly, then quietly waited for the battle on the Emperor Platform to end.

Not long after, the match on the Emperor Platform, where fifty contestants were narrowed Top Twenty-Five, came to an end.

Li Hao learned from the Dream Master that this was already the second match, and his battle against the Ghost Clan was the third.

Yue Xi and Gu Yan ranked ninth and twenty-fourth respectively.

Their opponents were relatively ordinary, but those who made it into the Top Fifty were no ordinary people. Yue Xi's opponent was the Green-Dressed Girl, while Gu Yan's opponent was a genius from the Origin Reverence Immortal Dynasty Tianzong, Heavenly Prodigy was also one of the True World Hundred Clans, but was only ranked in the thirties.

However, for Gu Yan, it will also be a tough battle. Compared with their opponents' previous performances, the Dream Master thinks that Yue Xi is the one with the best chance of advancing.

Next is Li Hao, but that Ghost Clan woman didn't show her full strength earlier, so it's hard to say for sure.

Soon, the battle on the Emperor Platform ended, and the outcome was decided. It was clearly more intense and exciting than the previous Top Hundred Battle. One side had even burned their Immortal Seal in battle, but ultimately lost.

"Keep going, just do your best."

The Dream Master said to Li Hao.

Although I previously thought Li Hao had the strength to advance to the Top Ten, that Ghost Clan woman was not to be trifled with and also had a chance to reach the Top Ten. In a battle between two strong individuals, the outcome was hard to predict.

Li Hao nodded.

After bidding farewell to Yue Xi and the others, he ascended the Emperor Platform.

"Sister, I'm going."

The Ghost Clan woman also rose and soared onto the Emperor Platform.

The woman beside her resembled her, but possessed a more aloof demeanor, her eyes devoid of any emotion. She remained indifferent to her sister's words, offering no response.

The Ghost Clan woman was already used to it; she smiled, waved, and flew onto the Emperor Platform.

Once the two had landed, the Sealing Array Barrier was activated, and the Immortal Guard Commander began to introduce their identities and backgrounds.

"Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty, Great Dream Nine Abyss Sect disciple, Human Race Haotian, versus Red Frontier Immortal Dynasty, Deficient Moon Sect disciple, Ghost Clan Gui Lingyue!"

His voice was deafening. In the Red Frontier Immortal Dynasty, countless people knew the name of the Ghost Clan, but they had never heard of the Deficient Moon Sect. However, in this year's Top Hundred, Gui Lingyue of the Ghost Clan fought his way out carrying the name of the sect, which had already made the sect's reputation resound throughout the entire Immortal Dynasty.

However, after many people inquired, they discovered that the Deficient Moon Sect was just an ordinary fourth- Earth Sect, and was not particularly remarkable.

And since the Ghost Clan comes from the Northern Region, there is no doubt that they are using the Sect's name to deliberately show off their power in the Southern Region.

"They're actually from the Ghost Clan. I've heard they 'Slaughter countless people and specialize in cultivating their Primordial Spirit."

"That's right. During that Ancient Demon Cataclysm, the Ghost Clan Great Emperor personally led the campaign and slew many King Realm beings among the Ancient Demon. It's said that among all the Immortal Emperor, only three were able to suppress the Ancient Demon Great Emperor!"

"The Primordial Spirit of the Ghost Clan is in no way weaker than that of the Ancient Demon Clan. In the past 100,000 years, it has been said that they have learned some of the methods of the Ancient Demon, making their Primordial Spirit even more terrifying than that of the Ancient Demon Clan!"

"Why has this Ghost Clan come to my Southern Region? Don't they have Heaven Pride Assembly Battle in their Northern Region?"

"Of course there are. I guess the Northern Region doesn't have enough spots, or maybe they're coming to my Southern Region to show off the Ghost Clan's power. Hmph, an outer realm race! I hope Haotian can defeat her!"

"I'm afraid it will be very difficult. That little girl didn't go all out in her previous battles and held back a great deal. This battle will likely be a fierce and intense struggle!"

In various Immortal Dynasty, many powerful figures from the Sect were observing this battle. After all, neither Li Hao nor Gui Lingyue of the Ghost Clan could be regarded as ordinary True Immortal. Within a few hundred years, they would become renowned powerhouses in the Immortal Lord Realm.

In the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty, many people were sweating bullets for Li Hao, their hearts pounding with anxiety.

If it weren't for the fact that it was extracted by the Heavenly Dao and couldn't be faked, they would all suspect that Li Hao was being targeted.

First, they fought against the Hundred Clans Zhan Tian Clan, Top Ten races, and now they're facing the Ghost Clan —all of them are Top Ten favorites.

At this moment, on the Emperor Platform, Gui Lingyue's face was as cold as ice. Apart from her sister, she showed no kindness to anyone else and lacked any warmth.

"If you don't unleash your Chaos Clan Bloodline in this battle, I'm afraid you won't win so easily."

Gui Lingyue said coldly.

Upon hearing this, a question mark appeared on Li Hao's forehead.

Chaos Clan? What the hell?

Seeing Li Hao's puzzled expression, Gui Lingyue raised an eyebrow, but sensed that Li Hao wanted to continue pretending. A cold smile curled at the corner of her lips, and her eyes grew even colder. She was no good-for-nothing like Zhan Yuchen.

She remained silent, her body emanating a dense, dark, ghostly aura, like the black smoke billowing from Kuku, shrouding herself in it.

As her Aura was released, the temperature on the entire Emperor Platform seemed to drop to an icy level, creating a sinister atmosphere.

Having witnessed the battle between Li Hao and Zhan Yuchen, she knew that defeating Li Hao wouldn't be easy, and she would need to use some of her own skills.

As the Extreme Realm Power was revealed, the Aura of her Bloodline was also exposed at this moment. The Nine Flowers Immortal Seal appeared on her forehead, but unlike the silver Immortal Seal of others, her Immortal Seal was black.

This is also a unique symbol of the Ghost Clan: a pure black Immortal Seal with nine patterns representing the Great Dao Origin, exquisite yet mysterious.

As Gui Lingyue's Aura continued to rise, a strong Ghost Clan pressure enveloped the Emperor Platform. Li Hao's expression also became serious. This Southern Region Heavenly Prodigy was indeed not simple. His power was even three points stronger than Zhan Yuchen's.

You absolutely have to win!

Emperor Platform, Zhan Yuchen gazed at the scene and couldn't help but Whispers a silent prayer.

If Li Hao were to lose to this Ghost Clan woman, wouldn't that mean their Battle Heaven Clan had lost to the Ghost Clan? That would be quite shameful!

Whoosh!

Enveloped in ghostly mist, Gui Lingyue suddenly flashed and instantly attacked Li Hao.

His figure traversed the Return to Emptiness Extreme Realm, appearing like a ghost in Li Hao's shadow, and directly attacked.

This speed surpassed the Return to Emptiness Teleportation, like some kind of Curse, directly affecting Li Hao. It was the Ghost Clan's Supreme Movement Technique, Ghost Reflection Moon!

This Movement Method is also one of the Supreme Movement Technique in the True Realm, and ranks among the top three!

Li Hao's expression changed slightly; he didn't have time to react—it was too fast.

Bang!

A palm print struck his back. Li Hao felt that the soft palm contained the power to River Severance, cracking his spine and sending him flying forward.

He crashed to the ground, his back stinging, but it wasn't a burning sensation; instead, a chilling force seemed to creep into his body.

That power contained terrifying Divine Soul energy; the opponent's attack was actually imbued with the power of their Primordial Spirit.

Li Hao was somewhat surprised, but his Primordial Spirit immediately retaliated, erasing that power. His Eternal Dao Domain quickly rose, and at the same time, he also unleashed another immortal Immortal Method, Ten Thousand Shadows, which was also one of the Ten Immortal Arts!

In the Imperial Hall Inheritance, Li Hao memorized all the Immortal Arts except for Blue Heaven. When he reached the Fourth Layer level of the Nine Sequences Great Dao, these Immortal Arts had already automatically been upgraded to the Perfection level.

The name "Ten Thousand Shadows" means that in an instant, Myriad Daos figures appeared on the Emperor Platform, all of them Li Hao.

These Ten Thousand Shadows were not merely afterimages; each one was more like an avatar, possessing one-third of Li Hao's True Form power!

One-third—how terrifying is that?

If it's simply a matter of adding up the power, 10,000 multiplied by 0.3 equals 3,000 times!

However, in actual combat, especially when facing a strong opponent or someone of equal strength, the calculation is not like that. For example, if Li Hao's True Form's attack is only barely enough to contend with Immortal Lord Realm Fifth Layer, then even one-third of his power might not be enough to pose a threat to Immortal Lord Realm Fifth Layer.

In this way, even with Myriad Daos clones and a sheer number of enemies, it would be difficult to break through the defenses of Immortal Lord Realm Fifth Layer, since their skill level is lower than the opponent's.

However, if facing someone of lower cultivation level than Li Hao, someone who could be killed in a single move, he would transform into ten thousand clones, causing terrifying destruction on the battlefield—truly an army in one person!

This is one of the reasons why this Immortal Arts is among the Ten Immortal Arts.

However, when facing opponents of the same realm, although they cannot achieve the terrifying effect of three thousand times the superposition, the Myriad Daos clones, if they also master Secret Art that can be used together, can cooperate with each other to achieve an extremely exaggerated effect.

It can be said that although this Immortal Arts is one of the Ten Immortal Arts, it is even stronger than the Blue Heaven, and is one of the top two among the Ten Immortal Arts.

However, in terms of speed alone, it is inferior to Ghost Reflection Moon in terms of Movement Method.

"Um?"

"Ten Thousand Shadows in Movement Method?!"

"It's another one of the Ten Immortal Arts, and it's the extremely difficult Ten Thousand Shadows to cultivate. This is a movement technique that requires both the Form Dao and the Imperial Dao to reach a certain level before one can master Movement Method!"

"Wasn't this method lost to time? How come it still exists?"

As the Emperor Platform was filled with Li Hao's figure, countless people were shocked.

Since the start of the battle, Li Hao has used Sword Dao and Path of the Fist, but his Movement Method have been average. He is only strong in attack, but he has unexpectedly revealed such terrifying Movement Method at this moment!

Gui Lingyue hadn't expected that Li Hao would actually master the Ten Thousand Shadows. Moreover, the Ghost Erosion that had accompanied her attack on Li Hao was actually erased in her perception. This was Secret Art technique of her Ghost Clan, which had an extremely strong destructive power against the Primordial Spirit.

How is that possible?

A hint of shock appeared in Gui Lingyue's eyes. Could it be that the opponent's Primordial Spirit power was higher than hers? Apart from this reason, she couldn't think of any other way to instantly break through the Ghost Erosion.

But in the instant she was stunned, Li Hao, who had unleashed the Ten Thousand Shadows technique, had already begun his counterattack.

Although he didn't have mastered many military formations, with Ten Thousand Shadows now in use, he directly Mastery his clones, all of whom unleashed the Eternal Dao Domain!

The Dao Domain are layered upon each other, but they cannot achieve true fusion or power enhancement. Just like a thousand layers of glass, they will still shatter when stacked together. However, the purpose of stacking them is not the Dao Domain, but the Time-Space Power within the Dao Domain!

"Time Stop!"

Li Hao's eyes turned cold as he unleashed the power of the Time Great Dao.

Time Stop, Time Reversal, and Time Acceleration are all common methods of the Time Great Dao.

Even those at the Saint Realm in the True Realm are already aware of these methods, but knowing them doesn't mean they can resist or break them!

Like a wild beast that knows the Xingchen but can never climb them.

At this moment, the power of time converges and overlaps within the Dao Domain. Each afterimage can barely halt reality for a fleeting instant, and with the accumulation of Myriad Daos afterimages, this instant becomes extremely long!

This is the power of Ten Thousand Shadows combined with the Time Great Dao!

As he unleashed it, the All Heavens Star Meridian behind him lit up, almost tangible. Although the Ten Thousand Shadows Movement Method was powerful, it consumed a tremendous amount of Immortal Power. In a duel between ordinary True Immortal, one had to win after using it once, otherwise it would be difficult to maintain the strength for a long battle.

However, this Movement Method only revealed its true terrifying nature after mastering the All Heavens Star Meridian.

A surge of violent Immortal Power erupted, amplified ninefold by the Battle Heaven Control Method. Everyone could see that the Immortal Power flowing through the young man's body was as vast and unimaginable as a boundless ocean!

That amount produced in such a short time would put even many Immortal Lord Realm to shame.

As Li Hao Whispers, time seemed to stand still within the Emperor Platform.

Among the Ghost Clan, the expressions of the five elders all changed slightly.

The aloof and icy Ghost Clan woman, Gui Lingyue's older sister, also showed a slight change in her cold expression, a glint of cold light appearing in her eyes.

On the Emperor Platform, amidst absolute stillness, Li Hao stepped forward and charged towards Gui Lingyue.

At this moment, Gui Lingyue's body was frozen in mid-air, unable to move, but her thoughts were still able to move.

When she realized she couldn't move, she was somewhat horrified, but quickly unleashed her Time Origin.

That's right, she also grasped the Great Dao Origin of Time and reached the Third Level Realm.

However, there is a world of difference between triple and Fourth Layer.

Moreover, at this moment, the Time Stop created by Li Hao's Myriad Daos clones is still enough for Li Hao to kill her dozens of times, even if she resists with all her might and greatly reduces the duration of this Time Stop.

Bang!

Li Hao showed no mercy, stepping forward and throwing a punch that shattered Gui Lingyue's head, sending her body and head flying into a bloody mist!

Seeing this scene, countless people were stunned; it was far too brutal.

Although Gui Lingyue was Ghost Clan, her pale skin and stunningly beautiful, aloof face captivated countless people. Li Hao's indifference towards her left many astonished and sighing.

As his body exploded into a bloody mist, everyone knew that the battle was over.

What was expected to be a fierce battle turned into a one-sided crushing defeat. Even the seventh-ranked genius of the Ghost Clan Heavenly Prodigy among the Hundred Clans seemed utterly powerless before the Great Dao Origin of Time!

Just as everyone was marveling at the domineering power of the Time Great Dao, suddenly, from the blood mist of Gui Lingyue's shattered body, a pitch-black ghostly figure suddenly emerged, attacking Li Hao without any hindrance in the Time Stop space.

Upon seeing the ghostly figure clearly, Li Hao realized it was Gui Lingyue. However, this was Gui Lingyue's Primordial Spirit, which was pitch black, like a true ghost. Within its body were streaks of dark light and shadow, appearing even darker and deeper amidst the darkness of the ghostly figure.

"What?"

"How is that possible!"

Everyone who saw this stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

At this moment, the blood mist on the Emperor Platform remained Solidification, but the ghostly figure could move, appearing directly in Li Hao's shadow and coiling towards Li Hao to kill him.

"Ghost Clan Secret Art: Ghost God Unification!"

Many Immortal King Realm experts narrowed their eyes slightly.

The Dream Master and Old Man Li, along with other elders of the sect, all showed slight changes in expression, their faces becoming solemn.

That domineering and terrifying Time Stop could suppress almost 90% of the Top Hundred Prodigy. In their eyes, this was practically Li Hao's trump card, even more terrifying and domineering than his previous Path of the Fist.

Unexpectedly, the Ghost Clan was able to break free. The reason for this was the Ghost Clan's famous Secret Art, which transferred all its power to its Primordial Spirit. The Ghost Clan's Primordial Spirit is extremely special and powerful, nurtured by a special Secret Method, and is now not bound by time!

Li Hao hadn't expected that the other party would still be able to move after Time Stop.

Time suppression ineffective?

Li Hao was puzzled. This was impossible; nothing could transcend time, except for Destiny.

Soon, Li Hao realized the reason: the opponent's Primordial Spirit was too strong, exceeding the level that his current Time Origin could suppress.

This Primordial Spirit power can transcend time, finding space to operate within the gaps of time's rules.

In an instant, Li Hao's body was entangled by the other person, who hugged him tightly from behind like an octopus.

Li Hao could sense that the other party's Primordial Spirit was soft, yet extremely cold, like a block of Frozen Heaven and Earth.

At the same time, he could also feel the terrifying nature of that Primordial Spirit, which was constantly eroding his body, seemingly trying to penetrate his immortal body and squeeze out his Primordial Spirit.

"You've pushed me to this point, so your defeat isn't unjust!"

Gui Lingyue's hoarse, sinister voice rang in Li Hao's ear, possessing a ghostly quality compared to her previous cold voice.

Li Hao's eyes turned slightly cold; he should be the one saying those words.

He thought that the Time Ten Thousand Shadows Movement Method, combined with the stacking of time, would be enough to defeat these powerful enemies from all the Hundred Clans, and that he could even kill all but a few with this one move.

But unexpectedly, he is now being forced to use other methods.

"Your Primordial Spirit is strong, but not strong enough!"

Li Hao's voice rang out, but it didn't come from his mouth; rather, it came from his Primordial Spirit.

Suddenly, Li Hao's Primordial Spirit revealed its upper body from the top of his head, shining with golden light, like a majestic and inviolable god!

The golden Divine Radiance burst forth from the Primordial Spirit, radiating terrifying divine Divine Soul power. What shocked the world the most was that there were countless luminous objects within the Primordial Spirit Body!

That's not Golden Meridian, it's Golden Bone!

Countless strands!

If there are so many on just half of the body, it's hard to imagine how many there are on the whole body!

At this moment, half of Li Hao's Primordial Spirit was exposed above his head, indifferently looking down at the Primordial Spirit of Gui Lingyue that was entangled with him.

Gui Lingyue also looked up and met Li Hao's Primordial Spirit, but her expression froze at that moment.

That condescending gaze made it seem as if a deity was not to be profaned.

She was somewhat dazed; how could this be...?

The next moment, Li Hao's Primordial Spirit raised his hand and, as if picking up a chick, tore her Primordial Spirit off his body.

That's right, it's about pulling, like peeling off a piece of dog skin plaster stuck to your body.

The Primordial Spirit Gui Lingyue, which had been firmly attached to him, was now like a weak and powerless chick, and was pulled off by Li Hao's Primordial Spirit without any room for struggle.

He had consumed countless Ancient Demons, and his Primal Spirit Golden Bone had already condensed to more than five hundred. While the other Heavenly Prodigy that Li Hao had fought before had broken through the Primordial Spirit Extreme Realm, most of them were only at the level of condensing Golden Meridian, and very few of them could condense Primal Spirit Golden Bone.

The Gui Lingyue before him, a prodigy of the Ghost Clan Heavenly Prodigy, had a black, glowing substance in her body that was the Primal Spirit Golden Bone that she had condensed. However, Li Hao could tell at a glance that the number of the ghost's bones was far less than his own, only forty or fifty, less than one-tenth of his!

This level is already extremely exaggerated; in terms of Primordial Spirit strength alone, it can rival the fourth or fifth level of the Immortal Lord Realm.

Unfortunately, Li Hao's Primordial Spirit power was already considered extremely strong, even among those at the Immortal Lord Realm!

"You..."

Gui Lingyue regained consciousness and tried to struggle, but found that Li Hao's hands were kneading her Primordial Spirit into a sphere in an instant.

Her voice was also distorted by the kneading and squeezing, and she could only let out painful screams.

I'll spare your life and give you a chance to admit defeat.

After kneading the dough into a ball, Li Hao said calmly.

Gui Lingyue was now filled with terror. As a member of the Ghost Clan, the most powerful race in the True World Hundred Clans Primordial Spirit terms of Primordial Spirit, even the Emperor Clan could not rival them in this aspect. But now, she had been completely crushed in the Primordial Spirit by someone of the same realm as her!

Even though she was Ghost Clan, she felt as if she had seen a demon—it was unbelievable!!

"I... I surrender!"

Her voice trembled; her Primordial Spirit was being kneaded, and the pain was affecting her very being, exceeding all endurance.

She knew that if she didn't admit defeat in time, her opponent would shatter her Primordial Spirit, and her cultivation in this life would be in vain.

You should know that although you can be reincarnated and start cultivating again with your current memories, the resources needed for cultivation will be wasted!

The clan has already spent a lot of resources on her to cultivate to this level. If she were to continue cultivating, it would be another huge expense and a waste of time.

For these Heavenly Prodigy, there is no such thing as being stronger than their previous life by cultivating again. After all, they have obtained all the fortuitous opportunity they can, and there is no chance of going astray. Everything will be taken care of by the clan, and the best route will be chosen. There are very few accidents that would require them to start over.

Upon hearing his opponent concede defeat, Li Hao immediately waved his hand, flinging the ball-shaped Gui Lingyue away. At the same time, the Ten Thousand Shadows Immortal Arts retracted and disappeared one by one, and the suppressed Time and Space resumed its flow. The fluffy blood mist in mid-air began to spread and dissipate.

But soon, the blood mist gathered again and quickly returned to the appearance of Gui Lingyue.

Her Primordial Spirit struggled to open, suffering serious injuries, and shrank back into her physical body, staring at Li Hao with a look of utter terror, as if she had seen a ghost.

All of this ended in the blink of an eye, and apart from Gui Lingyue on the Emperor Platform, countless people were speechless.

Below the stage, and elsewhere on the Mountain Summit, the gazes that had previously been calm or indifferent suddenly turned like sharp swords, piercing Li Hao.
