A showdown at the pinnacle of the Sword Dao

"This is the kind of test?"

"The Supreme One is really confident in that disciple. Although he is very strong, given Haotian's previous performance, surely he shouldn't be unable to withstand even three moves?"

"That's the most terrifying part. The fact that the Supreme made such a request can only mean that Sword Heart hadn't yet revealed his true abilities. Don't forget that in the True Immortal Secret Realm, he single-handedly suppressed the gathering place of Ancient Demon; that's definitely the pinnacle of the Sword Dao Fifth Level Extreme Peak!"

"The pinnacle of the Fifth Layer? How is that possible? He's only at the True Immortal Realm!"

In the True Immortal Realm, being able to cultivate the Origin Great Dao to the Third Level Realm is already considered Heavenly Prodigy, the Fourth Layer is a top-tier Prodigy, and the Fifth Layer... is already at the monster level.

Everyone stared at the two in astonishment. If Li Hao were to defeat Sword Heart, most people would think it would be impossible, after all, Sword Heart was the Supreme 'Personal Disciple. But to only withstand three moves was perhaps highly possible.

Li Hao's gaze swept towards Sword Heart, who also looked at him at that moment. Their eyes met, and Li Hao immediately saw the coldness in Jian Xin's eyes.

The other party had been calm and collected earlier, but perhaps the conversation just now had Anger them.

But Li Hao didn't think he had said or done anything wrong; it was just a matter of each person having their own teacher.

"Your Supreme, I have a request."

Li Hao turned his head and looked at the Supreme.

Hearing Li Hao's words, countless people were surprised and focused their attention on Li Hao.

"If you're scared, one move will do."

Sword Heart spoke, his tone cold.

He was extremely displeased with Li Hao's attitude when speaking to his Master; there was no humility or obedience on the young man's face.

"One move? This Sword Heart is incredibly arrogant."

"It's not that he's arrogant; to truly defeat an enemy, he only needs one move. He only needs to unleash his strongest sword strike to surpass all others."

"That's right, no need for probing, just use your strongest move, and you'll either win or lose!"

The crowd murmured among themselves.

The Supreme looked down at Li Hao and calmly said, "Speak."

"If I can withstand ten of his moves, can I leave safely without becoming his disciple?"

Li Hao asked, his gaze fixed on the spot.

Upon hearing his words, the entire room fell into a brief silence, followed by a moment of uproar.

Countless people stared at Li Hao in astonishment, speechless.

Sword Heart's words were arrogant enough, but the boy's current behavior is even more outrageous!

No, it's practically insane!

Putting aside whether Li Hao, with his Sword Heart attitude, could even withstand ten moves, the fact that he raised the bar just to avoid becoming a disciple of the Supreme is simply incomprehensible and utterly insane!

Young man, what's right in front of you is the identity of Personal Disciple Immortal Emperor, something countless people dream of. Even many Immortal King Realm present are envious of this identity, yet you've rejected it like trash, making all sorts of excuses.

Beside them, Sword Heart and Mingyue were both unusually out of control, their faces showing shock, followed by intense Anger. Even though they usually regarded others as plants and trees and would not easily get angry with them, at this moment, they felt intense Anger towards Li Hao.

At the Mountain Summit, the Dream Master and the others were dumbfounded, never expecting Li Hao to be so stubborn.

Heart Questioning Floating Pagoda City.

On the hillside, Old Han, sitting under the old tree, was also stunned. Soon, he suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter unrestrained and bold, as if he had never laughed so heartily in countless Years.

"Good, good lad! I knew I hadn't misjudged you. It wasn't in vain that I Dao Heart Sealing. If you return safely from this journey, I will surely bestow upon you a great Creation!"

He laughed, tears welling up in his eyes.

I haven't seen such an interesting scene or such interesting people in so many years!

In the Yan Chu's Nine Thousand Immortal Cities, many of the remaining elders were stunned and dumbfounded.

Like everyone else, they were stunned by the boy's words, but then they Forbidden Zone clench their fists, feeling a surge of hot tears.

They scurried about like rats, hiding and eking out a living in various places, just to accumulate strength and look for an opportunity in the future.

But that young man, with a mere hundred years of Soul Lifespan, so inexperienced, dared to make such a request to the strongest being in the Heaven and Earth. What courage did that take?

In the young man's body, they saw the impulses they dared not have, the things they had thought about countless times but dared not do. Some wept tears of joy, while others covered their mouths and sobbed. At this moment, they all felt some regret for not having gone to the Imperial City themselves to stop the young man from going.

"Your Immortal Emperor Heavenly Calamity, after countless years, you have found another fine disciple!"

"My lord, can you see this? If this child Undying Realm, we will follow him to the death!"

"Haotian, from this day forward, you will all remember this name; he is our new master!"

Throughout the Immortal City, many people watched the scene with a mixture of excitement, tension, and fear. They wondered what choice the Great Emperor would make regarding the "reckless" youth—whether he would annihilate him with a single word or truly agree to his request.

You are incredibly arrogant!

Before his Master could respond, Sword Heart took a step forward, staring at Li Hao with Sha Qi look on his face.

He had remained calm and collected until now, with only the sword in his eyes and heart.

But Li Hao's repeated actions at this moment made him Anger.

He didn't even want his Master to respond; he wanted to kill the other party directly.

Li Hao ignored Sword Heart and instead stared at the Heavenly Palace Supreme. He had already made two preparations in his heart: one was annihilation, and the other was fulfillment.

This battle, which was witnessed by countless eyes in the Southern Region, was the reason why Li Hao dared to make his request.

Seeing Li Hao's gaze, the Heavenly Palace Supreme's calm eyes softened slightly, as if piercing through the young man's heart. He slowly said:

"If you can truly withstand ten moves from Sword Heart, I can pardon your sins. As for whether you leave safely, that depends entirely on yourself."

Hearing his words, Li Hao frowned slightly, sensing something fishy about them, but before he could think further, Sword Heart beside him angrily said:

"Come on, as you wish, I will grant your wish!"

As he spoke, his black hair flew wildly, and he exuded an awe-inspiring aura. A sword-shaped Nine Flowers Immortal Seal appeared on his forehead.

The Immortal Seal was sword-shaped, with Nine Flowers appearing on its blade, making it look extremely dazzling and sharp!

Everyone was astonished by the imposing Sword Heart emanating from the sword.

The fact that the opponent possessed the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal was not surprising to anyone. The Nine Flowers Immortal Seal that the opponent displayed, like Li Hao's, exuded the Aura of the Nine Sequences Great Dao Origin. No one was surprised, after all, this was a basic requirement Supreme's Direct Disciple.

However, the overwhelming aura emanating from the opponent at this moment terrified countless people. Was this the Immortal Power possessed by the True Immortal Realm?

At the Mountain Summit, Gui Lingyue, Shen Wuji, and the others who had previously been defeated by Li Hao all changed their expressions and their eyes suddenly narrowed.

Other Prodigy from the great clans had their expressions change, and some had solemn eyes. They all saw that Sword Heart was extremely terrifying at this moment. With this aura, he could probably kill anyone below the Third Level of Immortal Lord Realm with a single sword strike!

The other contestants at the Immortal Lord Realm also changed color, never expecting that there would be such a terrifying fellow in the True Immortal Realm!

Li Hao looked at Sword Heart, his eyes narrowing slightly. The Immortal Power that the other party was displaying was extremely powerful, making him feel suppressed. It was stronger than he had imagined!

Both are at the True Immortal Realm Tenth Layer Perfection and both possess the Nine Sequences Immortal Seal; theoretically, the Immortal Power contained within their bodies should be the same.

But Li Hao sensed that the Immortal Power within the other party was twice as strong as his own!

He immediately thought of the Origin Secret Realm and the cultivation he had undergone during this period, which caused his Immortal Power to gradually condense from a misty state.

At this moment, the Immortal Power within Sword Heart's body seemed to have reached an extremely viscous state, having been refined to an even higher purity!

"So strong!"

"Is this the Supreme Personal Disciple?"

"My God, I'm at the Immortal Lord Realm, but I feel like I'm no match for him!"

"It seems that Haotian has angered him."

"Ten moves? Can he really last that long? I have a feeling he might not even make it past three!"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

Previously, many people thought that the Supreme's test for accepting disciples was to withstand three moves from the Sword Heart. Given Haotian's demonstrated combat strength, they believed he could accomplish it. However, now they feel it is very difficult, or even impossible!

"Activate the formation!"

Sword Heart stared coldly at Li Hao, his voice as Frozen Heaven and Earth as he spoke to the Immortal Guard Commander.

The Immortal Guard Commander didn't pay attention to his tone and quickly opened the Sealing Array Barrier.

Whoosh!

Sword Heart vanished in an instant, reappearing on the Emperor Platform. He turned and stared at Li Hao, "Come here!"

His voice was commanding, carrying a strong sense of Killing Aura.

Li Hao glanced at it, then looked away, cupped his hands to the Heavenly Palace Supreme before him, and said, "Thank you for your Supreme, Supreme!"

He was polite and well-mannered, but to others, the boy seemed to have gone mad!

The Supreme did agree, but that Sword Heart was Supreme's Direct Disciple, while Li Hao was previously just an ordinary disciple of the Tian Yang Immortal Emperor. Moreover, even if Li Hao lied, that Immortal Emperor had already perished, and the legacy he left behind could not compare to the true teachings of Immortal Emperor.

"Go quickly!"

Mingyue coldly urged Li Hao on, showing Li Hao no goodwill whatsoever.

Li Hao ignored the other party, bowed to the Supreme to express his gratitude, and then turned and flew towards the Emperor Platform.

As he sped along, his immortal Immortal Power gradually accumulated and adjusted.

Once he entered the Emperor Platform, the Sealing Array Barrier immediately closed and shut down. At this moment, the Emperor Platform resembled a caged beast, with only Sword Heart's cold, gleaming eyes remaining in front of him.

Li Hao was not affected by the murderous intent in the other party's eyes. Instead, he slowly took a deep breath.

The previous noise suddenly became quiet.

All that remained was the rapidly beating heart within his chest cavity and the surging Divine Blood coursing through his body!

He closed his eyes, adjusted his body's state, and knew that this battle was the most difficult and the strongest he had faced since arriving in the True Realm.

Although the opponent was of the same realm, he was the strongest True Immortal Realm he had ever encountered.

He could be defeated if he wasn't careful, after all, his opponent was the Sword Dao Ancient Sword Immortal Body recognized in the True Realm.

Secondly, he is Supreme's Direct Disciple, possessing countless Precious Medicine and numerous unparalleled fortuitous opportunity that are difficult for ordinary people to obtain, all of which are within his grasp!

Even with the Panel that accelerated his cultivation time, he could only barely catch up with his opponent's advantage.

But in this battle, there is no way to retreat!

He must win, he has no choice but to win!

His request was not due to any deep affection he had for his Master, the Tian Yang Immortal Emperor, or any reluctance to relinquish his status as his disciple.

Instead, he felt that even if he passed the test and became a disciple of this Heavenly Palace Supreme, he would never have a good life.

After all, they are only Personal Disciple, and the other party has already revealed two of them.

To Immortal Emperor, Personal Disciple is merely someone who has the potential to inherit his mantle, not an indispensable treasure.

For someone to reach this level of existence, there is practically nothing that is indispensable, and even if there were, it would be far beyond what a Personal Disciple could compare to.

Soon, all the thoughts in my mind were cleared away.

Li Hao knew that he couldn't afford to be distracted in this battle; he had to go all out!

As his eyes opened, the whole world seemed to emerge from the darkness, revealing before him the sharp, cold eyes of the young man, whose entire body exuded a chilling Sword Intent, and the vast Emperor Platform.

Are you ready?

Sword Heart asked coldly.

Although he had already decided to kill, he did not act rashly. He wanted to make his opponent lose clearly, thoroughly, and die with regrets!

"Um."

Li Hao nodded slightly, and then, the Immortal Power within his body surged like a torrent. At this moment, the All Heavens Star Meridian was operating at its limit, and behind him, it seemed as if an All Heavens Star Chart was lit up!

The star map stretched out like veins, like spider legs, extending into the Void, its light dazzling.

Immortal Power flowed in his palm, condensing into an Immortal Sword whose shape and outline were strikingly similar to the "Merit and Fame" that had accompanied Li Hao from the Mortal World to the All Heavens Sacred Land.

Although the sword's True Form is no longer up to Li Hao's cultivation level, the name given to it reflects Li Hao's Dao Heart and Conviction!

As the sword's light flowed, its unique shape resembled a tower. It was indeed transformed from the Qian Dao Palace of the Great Yu Dynasty, and was originally a Fragment an Immortal Weapon.

The tower has nine stories, and the sword has nine sections, reflecting light like Fish Scales.

As the sword materialized, Li Hao no longer concealed his Immortal Power, releasing it fully at that moment.

His body suddenly grew larger, Sage Physique manifested the Law, Heaven and Earth.

Behind him, the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form appeared, surrounded by saints, chanting in unison, seemingly protecting Li Hao.

The once vast Emperor Platform, resembling a plain, has now truly transformed into an Arena Stage as Li Hao has transformed into Hundred Zhang Giant.

Seeing the power Li Hao displayed, countless people stared intently. Although Li Hao's aura was not as strong as that of the Sword Heart, it was still very terrifying, even more so than when he defeated Shen Wuji!

"Damn it!"

Seeing this, Shen Wuji clenched his fists, but his eyes were not filled with hatred, but with a sharp light. He had guessed that Li Hao still had some strength left because he couldn't see Li Hao's Bloodline, but he didn't expect that even his Immortal Power could not be fully displayed.

"Is this the Immortal Power of the Nine Sequences Immortal Seal? It's truly extraordinary among those of the same realm!"

Gui Lingyue said softly, her eyes fixed on Jian Sword Heart, "Sister, that guy is also at the True Immortal Realm, but his Immortal Power seems to be almost catching up with yours!"

"He must have repeatedly refined his Immortal Power, essentially retraining himself multiple times at the Tenth Layer level of True Immortal, to reach this level."

Gui Lingshuang squinted and said.

"That's insane, why doesn't he break through to the Immortal Lord Realm?"

Gui Lingyue asked, puzzled, "This method, besides offering an advantage among those in the same realm, allows for the condensation of Immortal Power later, even at the Immortal Lord Realm. Moreover, the Immortal Lord Realm requires cultivating far more. Is he merely aiming to compete for first place in the True Immortal Realm this time?"

"No, he probably wants to Immortal Seal Transformation into the legendary Immortal Seal while still in the True Immortal Realm!"

Gui Lingshuang said in a low voice, her eyes more solemn than ever before.
