Obstruction

Di Linchen had previously regarded Li Hao merely as a friend with similar interests, not as a Li Hao.

He believed that only the two Supreme's Direct Disciples could be his rivals. Other Heavenly Prodigy from major clans, such as Gui Lingyue and Shen Wuji, were not considered his opponents because the gap between them was too obvious.

But now, the power Li Hao displayed made him laugh. He had misjudged him, and the one who was truly no match for him was not his opponent, but himself.

On the Emperor Platform, Li Hao gazed at the power that Solidification Time and Space. His gaze then shifted upwards to the Sealing Array Barrier the Emperor Platform, where the figure of the Immortal Guard Commander stood suspended in mid-air, his eyes filled with shock and solemnity.

Without a doubt, Sword Heart's life was saved in time not by Sword Heart's own efforts.

The interference from outside the arena foreshadowed Sword Heart's defeat.

It's a pity that he couldn't be reincarnated... Li Hao felt regretful. His opponent had first shown murderous intent towards him, wanting to kill him within three moves, so he simply returned the favor in kind.

Time and Space slowly loosens, gradually contracts, and reverses.

Subsequently, the cracks covering the Sword Heart 'Primordial Spirit gradually healed in an instant, and the Sword Intent of the Five Absolutes Emperor Sword on it was erased.

Sword Heart survived, and his physical body regenerated in the blood mist, recovering in the blink of an eye, as if nothing had happened.

But the scene just now was also imprinted in Sword Heart's eyes. He stared blankly at Li Hao, his mind buzzing with disbelief and disbelief!

I can lose? I actually lost?!

With Sword Dao Sixth Level, he was unparalleled in the True Immortal Realm and even created miracles. Even his Master instructed him before the Grand Battle to conserve his strength and not to harm the Heavenly Prodigy of other Immortal Dynasty. After all, the Southern Region was currently short of talent, and these Heavenly Prodigy would become the pillars of the Southern Region when they grew up.

But unexpectedly, he lost.

In just three moves, he was defeated twice, losing in one move and nearly dying in the other.

The three tests his Master had mentioned earlier were meant to test the boy's abilities, and he didn't want the boy to fail them. But now, it was he himself who couldn't overcome them!

"What kind of sword is that?!"

Sword Heart's Primordial Spirit, unable to return to his body, and with his blank mind slightly clearing, looked at Li Hao with shock and anger.

He rarely lost his composure; his emotions fluctuated repeatedly, and he was unable to control himself.

"The Emperor Sword."

Li Hao's eyes were cold as he glanced at him indifferently, gradually withdrawing his power, and the Merit and Fame he held in his hand gradually dissipated into nothingness.

The Heaven and Earth Dharma Form behind him gradually faded. With the intervention of others, the battle had already been decided, and he should leave this place, unless that Supreme being went back on his word.

But in front of countless people in the Southern Region, Li Hao felt that this Supreme was not so low as to act like this.

"The Emperor Sword?"

Sword Heart felt as if thunder was roaring in his mind. How could he not see that the sword was extremely terrifying? Although the sword technique was far inferior to his, it contained a terrifying Emperor Sword aura. Moreover, the Great Dao Origin of that Swordsmanship was connected with the Five Dao Source, forming a unique Origin power!

This power rendered his Nine Sequence Origin unable to cope.

All the Myriad Daos under All Under Heaven originate from the Nine Orders, and he too possesses the Nine Sequence Origin Immortal Seal. Similarly, his mastery of the Nine Sequences Great Dao has reached the Fourth Layer, making him comparable to Li Hao. Why is it that Li Hao was able to unleash this sword strike while he was unable to?!

He couldn't accept it, Dharma Form, but the facts were right in front of him, leaving him only bewilderment and indignation.

"Your Swordsmanship is evolved from the power of the Five Dao Source. Who taught you that? Your Master?!"

Sword Heart gritted his teeth and roared angrily.

His eyes were filled with resentment; since birth, his Sword Dao Aptitude had been unparalleled in his clan.

The same Swordsmanship, which takes other clansmen hundreds of years to comprehend and even Heavenly Prodigy several years to master, he understood in a single day after just a glance!

From childhood to adulthood, he has cultivated himself in various ways without ever encountering any obstacles or difficulties.

The exquisite sword techniques that others could hardly comprehend were crystal clear to him. He didn't know why others were so foolish, but later he realized that it was because he was too special.

He has an extraordinary understanding of swordsmanship, as well as an extraordinary love and obsession with them!

He wants to become the supreme swordsman, the god of swordsmanship, to carve out the Emperor Path with his sword, and to become the Supreme Sword Dao!

But now, in a duel between Sword Dao of the same realm, he has actually lost. He feels his Dao Heart is collapsing and he can't accept it!

"If one takes Heaven and Earth and All Things as one's teacher, then one can be considered Master."

Li Hao Pause, turning slightly to the side. His indifferent eyes held no emotion. He knew that under the watchful eyes of everyone, especially on the territory of the Heavenly Palace, he could not possibly kill the other party. If he were killed by the other party, the Immortal Guard Commander would absolutely not intervene.

This is inherently unfair, but he can accept it, since it's someone else's territory.

"If the Master you're referring to is my Tian Yang Immortal Emperor, then you'll be disappointed. That's not it."

With that, Li Hao didn't turn back, his indifferent gaze returning as he walked out of the Emperor Platform.

"What?"

Sword Heart was stunned. Li Hao's first sentence gave him a special feeling, as if he had understood something, but the second sentence left him bewildered again.

Whoosh!

His figure blurred, revealing his Supreme Movement Technique, appearing like a streak of Sword Light before Li Hao.

He blocked Li Hao's path, clenching his teeth, his eyes filled with complex and determined emotions, and said, "I lost, but I want to know, where did you get this Swordsmanship from? Was it from the Heaven and Earth, as you said?"

I have no obligation to tell you.

Li Hao said coldly.

Sword Heart's expression turned grim. He said, "Was it comprehended from the Heaven and Earth? That Swordsmanship contains Five Dao Source; did you comprehend it from those Five Dao Source?!"

"Since you've already guessed it, it's time to move aside."

Li Hao said coldly, not wanting the other party to keep pestering him, since he couldn't really do anything to them right now.

"Impossible! I've also comprehended Five Dao Source, and reached the Origin Fourth Level. This is Swordsmanship; if you can comprehend it, then I can too!"

Sword Heart shook his head, his eyes filled with disbelief, his expression somewhat lost and dejected.

Seeing his crazed state, Li Hao's eyes flashed with mockery. He said, "So what if we've both comprehended the Nine Orders and reached the Fourth Layer of Origin? It's like we're both standing on the same building, viewing the same scenery. But our Dao Heart are different. You're called Sword Heart, and I'm called Haotian. The scenery we see is the same, but the scenery in our hearts is heaven and earth!"

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, Sword Heart was deeply shaken, and countless chaotic thoughts seemed to be severed by those words at that moment.

He stared blankly at Li Hao, his mind replaying only the other's words.

The scenery before our eyes is the same... but the scenery in our hearts is heaven and earth?!

Li Hao ignored what the other person thought and walked straight past them, intending to leave the Emperor Platform.

However, upon reaching the edge of the Emperor Platform, he noticed that the Sealing Array Barrier remained activated, causing his expression to change slightly. He looked up at the Immortal Guard Commander and said in a low voice:

"What, are you going back on your word? You intervened in this battle rashly, saving his life. He's already survived, so shouldn't I consider myself the winner? Or do you want another round?"

He stood at a high position, his voice not loud, yet as powerful and resounding as thunder, echoing on the Mountain Summit and throughout the entire Southern Region.

Li Hao's words brought the countless people who were stunned to their senses back to their senses.

Numerous uproars erupted, and at this moment, all the Immortal Dynasty and Immortal City in the Southern Region were shaken and in an uproar.

This battle actually ended in victory for Li Hao!

Three moves, the third move almost killed Sword Heart!

Previously, the Supreme mentioned a three-move test, and without a doubt, Li Hao not only passed it, but he was more than capable of doing so!

Even Sword Heart, the Supreme's Direct Disciple, was defeated by Li Hao. Judging from their Soul Lifespan, Li Hao is undoubtedly more qualified to become the Supreme's Direct Disciple!

However, the young man's request was refused, and he simply left safely in return.

In an instant, countless people were discussing it intensely, erupting in cheers and excitement.

Although Li Hao was a disciple of the Sin Immortal, the Heavenly Talent he displayed at this moment aroused a strong sense of appreciation for his talent among countless people in the Southern Region.

Such Heavenly Prodigy, yet only a hundred years of Soul Lifespan. So what if he's a disciple of Sin Immortal? There's still time to correct his ways, still time to teach him!

Compared to his status as a disciple of the Sin Immortal, this kind of Heavenly Talent is what the Southern Region needs most right now; it is a powerful force capable of fighting against the Ancient Demon in the Future!

"Terrible, so terrifying!"

"How many years has it been since such Prodigy was born in our Southern Region? Even those few Immortal Emperor, who created numerous myths, couldn't have matched this during the True Immortal Realm era."

"This is the Emperor Dao Aptitude Emperor Son! Nurture him well, Future, another Immortal Emperor will surely emerge from our Southern Region!"

"Unexpectedly, even though that Sin Immortal has perished, he can still receive such a disciple. This can be considered a blessing for our Southern Region!"

The figures of elders in many blessed lands and ancient Secret Realm looked up at this scene, their eyes filled with shock and excitement.

They had experienced the Ancient Demon War Calamity and knew that the massacre had almost swept through the Southern Region, leaving countless places devastated, ravaged, and filled with wails of agony and corpses strewn across the land. The horror was ten times more terrifying than purgatory!

They craved power and did not want to experience such calamities again. They secluded themselves for many years, nurturing their people and cultivating themselves in preparation for the great tribulation to come.

Now, seeing such a Prodigy new star emerge, how can we not be delighted, how can we not be excited!

"Senior Brother, you actually lost..."

Mingyue stared blankly at the scene, completely dumbfounded.

This scene was something she would never even dream of, yet it actually happened in reality.

It should be noted that Sword Heart started his training earlier than her, and in terms of combat strength, he was also slightly stronger.

In her view, apart from the Emperor Clan's brat posing a slight threat and whose trump cards were unknown, her Senior Brother was incapable of losing.

"He won..."

At the Mountain Summit, even the Dream Master and Li Tiemu were surprised that Li Hao could win. After a moment of stunned silence, they were all overjoyed with excitement.

At this moment, hearing Li Hao's questioning voice echo, they all woke up. Yes, the strange Time Stop the flesh and blood of the Sword Heart earlier was obviously due to external interference. Immortal King Realm present could see it at a glance; it couldn't be faked.

"Don't rush."

The Immortal Guard Commander looked down at Li Hao, a deep look of surprise in his eyes. However, due to his position and rank, even though he was amazed by the young man's Prodigy, he could better understand the Emperor Heart.

"You have the qualifications to become Supreme Personal Disciple. Are you really not going to reconsider?"

"The Immortal Guard Commander inquired."

Li Hao's expression changed slightly. The words sounded like a question, but to him they sounded like a threat.

He hadn't expected that this Supreme would actually go back on his word!

How could someone of Supreme, at the pinnacle of the True Realm, do such a thing?

Suppressing his anger, he said in a deep voice, "I appreciate Your Supreme's kindness, but I am used to my freedom and dislike being bound by constraints. If the Ancient Demon launch a large-scale invasion in the future, as long as I, Haotian, am still here, I will do my utmost to help!"

The Immortal Guard Commander himself, "Dark Dao lad, his words are quite tactful." However, he knew that if Li Hao were allowed to leave now, he would become a major threat in the Future.

"Don't jeopardize your own Heavenly Talent, if you were to receive tutelage from Supreme, you could Future well become emperor!"

The Immortal Guard Commander said in a deep voice, "Don't think that just because you have Heavenly Talent, you can look down on Emptiness Gaze. You are a disciple of Sin Immortal. The Supreme has already shown great magnanimity by not holding a grudge. You are so stubborn and do not cherish your own talents. If the Ancient Demon really launch a large-scale attack in the future, I wonder what realm you will be at when you participate in the war? Could it be that you are at the Immortal Lord Realm?"

Li Hao's expression changed slightly, and he said angrily, "The Supreme already agreed to my request, yet you still obstruct me. What do you mean by that? Do you not even respect the Supreme's words?"

The Immortal Guard Commander hadn't expected Li Hao to be so eloquent, using the Supreme to intimidate him.

He sneered inwardly, trying to fathom the Emperor Heart. He knew he couldn't let Li Hao leave so easily.

I'm just advising you, don't be ungrateful.

The Immortal Guard Commander said sternly, "Since you want to leave, then leave. But from now on, your life and death will have nothing to do with the Heavenly Palace. If you waste your talents, fail to make progress, and indulge in pleasure, when the Ancient Demon Calamity Descent, you will still only be at the Immortal Lord Realm or an ordinary Immortal King Realm. Even if you die fighting for the Southern Region, it will only be a tragedy!"

Seeing that the Emperor Platform Barrier had disappeared, Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief, finally putting the other party at ease.

Regardless, at least on the surface, they didn't completely break off relations.

As for the other party's words, he only sneered inwardly. If he were to stay, he would truly be in grave danger. Would the Supreme really forgive and nurture him? He absolutely did not believe it. After all, he had already discerned that he was merely a Chess Piece in the Emperor Dao Chess Game.

At this moment, as the words of the Immortal Guard Commander were spoken, countless people throughout the Southern Region had complex expressions on their faces.

The young man's refusal to Supreme's Direct Disciple is extremely rare, but as the Immortal Guard Commander said, such Heavenly Talent, if not properly nurtured, could lead him astray in the future, which would be a real pity.

After all, the True Immortal Realm is still too immature. Although Li Hao is Heavenly Talent talented, he is only a promising seedling that needs careful nurturing and cultivation.

The Immortal Lord Realm to the Immortal King Realm, especially the Immortal King Realm, is a meteoric rise, often spanning tens of thousands of years. Anything can happen in the Future, and having Supreme to nurture you is the safest option.

"You're not leaving!"

As Li Hao stepped off the Emperor Platform, Mingyue, having regained her senses, suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his Li Hao.

The once serene and aloof expression on her face had now transformed from that of an ethereal being untouched by worldly concerns into that of an Anger mortal.

"The Southern Region Assembly Battle isn't over yet, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Has your identity been exposed and are you trying to escape?!"

Mingyue gritted her teeth and glared angrily at Li Hao.

She had heard of the Sin Immortal's many deeds and regarded Li Hao, who inherited his mantle, as the same sinner.
