Departure

Their eyes met. Di Jiming's gaze was icy. Li Hao had gained the favor of the Dao Source Immortal Emperor, so he would definitely be able to set foot in the Original True World without needing to borrow a quota from the Southern Region.

Now, their opponent is also Immortal Lord, but in this Southern Region, they will never have the chance to fight again.

Fortunately, he still had a chance to meet Li Hao again in the Original True World.

"Um?"

As Di Jiming pondered this, he suddenly noticed that Immortal Power was gathering in Li Hao's palm, brewing a terrifying Sword Qi.

His expression changed slightly, and he looked at Li Hao with surprise and anger, "What do you want to do?"

"I'll return the sword to you."

The Sword Qi in Li Hao's palm had already condensed, and he suddenly swung it out. In an instant, thunder rumbled in the heavens Heaven and Earth. The Great Dao, which had been transformed after the Nine Orders were shattered, drew upon all kinds of Dao Power in the Void, which suddenly condensed into one and slashed out.

This sword strike contained the ultimate power, as well as the ultimate killing intent in Li Hao's heart at this moment.

Di Jiming was extremely shocked and furious. He never expected that Li Hao, relying on the power of the Dao Source Immortal Emperor, would actually try to take this opportunity to kill him.

But he was, after all, Quasi-Emperor Scion of the Emperor Clan. He didn't believe that Dao Source Immortal Emperor would dare to openly kill him. Without Dao Source Immortal Emperor's intervention, Li Hao alone was nothing but a clown!

His immortal Immortal Power suddenly erupted, the All Heavens Star Meridian behind him illuminated the starry Starry Sky, a golden mark appeared on his forehead, and the power of the Emperor Dao Nine Sequences Immortal Seal was instantly activated.

"You're asking for death!"

Di Jiming attacked in anger. His previous attack on Li Hao was three parts dissatisfaction with Li Hao's wasted time and seven parts aimed at his own cousin. Now, however, it was nine parts Anger towards Li Hao himself.

A palm print instantly condensed, which was none other than the Great Emperor's Hand of Sorrow from before.

At this moment, this force is three times more intense than before.

The clash was instantaneous, yet its power momentarily overshadowed the entire Mountain Summit.

Before anyone could react, the two peerless Heavenly Prodigy had already clashed.

A violent roar shook the air as the palm strike, which seemed capable of annihilating all living beings, shattered under the ultimate sword power.

The Grand Dao Unification, like a sword formed from countless Immortal Dao Laws, cleaving through that palm strike.

But the moment the Emperor's Palm shattered, the Sword Qi also lost its brilliance and crumbled into darkness.

Both Li Hao and Di Jiming retreated backwards. Li Hao retreated several hundred meters, while Di Jiming's Dharma Form appeared behind him, and he stabilized himself after retreating several dozen meters.

Upon seeing this scene, countless people paled, all revealing expressions of horror.

Di Jiming was also stunned, his expression changed drastically, and he stared intently at the young man in front of him.

He felt that his Emperor Dao Nine Sequences Immortal Seal was suppressed by the opponent's Immortal Seal. That ultimate Immortal Seal of the Grand Dao Unification could instantly mobilize all the power of Heaven and Earth. It was extremely fast, extremely condensed, and beyond imagination!

Li Hao's Immortal Power surged and fluctuated. He glanced at the Emperor Clan's Heavenly Prodigy, then refrained from attacking again. This sword strike was a return for the opponent's previous palm strike.

He had just stepped into the Immortal Lord Realm and was not yet familiar with it. Fighting a seventh-level opponent from a first-level realm, especially one who was Heavenly Prodigy from the Emperor Clan, was too much of a leap.

However, it was much better than before when he was completely powerless to fight back; at least, his opponent couldn't annihilate him with a single blow.

"Again!"

Di Jiming was even more shocked and furious than before. He had thought that this palm strike would be enough to kill the young man, but he did not expect that the other party was only injured.

Although he has stepped from the True Immortal Realm to the Immortal Lord Realm, he has only just entered the First Level of Immortal Lord Realm. He is someone who can fight against other Immortal Lord Realm who are Tenth Layer!

He showed no mercy, unleashing his full power as he prepared to fight with all his might and kill him.

But Li Hao ignored him and walked toward the Great Dao.

Di Jiming became even Anger at being ignored and wanted to take the initiative to attack, but he was blocked by a force.

That power contained Emperor's Might; even a mere glimpse of it caused his immortal Immortal Power to collapse, the All Heavens Star Meridian to dim, and his face to turn pale.

He glared angrily at the Dao Source Immortal Emperor, but upon seeing only a pair of indifferent eyes, he felt as if struck by lightning. All his Anger and killing intent shattered, his face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The other party did not attack him; it was only his own killing intent and Anger that were backfired by the Emperor's Might, leaving him severely injured.

Ignoring Di Jiming's serious injury and Anger, Li Hao strode towards the Great Dao, proceeding forward under the watchful eyes of countless people.

The boy's body was as radiant as a god, yet he appeared somewhat frail and alone. Countless people had complex expressions in their eyes. This had turned the Southern Region upside down. A mere True Immortal Realm cultivator had nearly drawn a bloody battle between two of the Top 100 Great Clans. The intervention of two Emperor Lord was truly a rare occurrence throughout history.

"Haotian..."

The Great Dream Clan, including Meng Wanning, had complex expressions, but they did not try to stop them.

They knew that the young man before them carried murderous intent. Dao Source Immortal Emperor had spared his life, and only by leaving the Southern Region could he continue to live and have room to grow.

He's gone...

Yue Xi, Gu Yan, and the others stared blankly at their fellow disciple. The light emanating from him at that moment was something no True Immortal Realm could achieve. They had a feeling that when they saw him again, he would be a hundred times more radiant than he was today.

At the edge of the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Pavilion, Lin Qingying's eyes were filled with both joy and sorrow. She did not chase after that figure.

All of this made her suddenly realize that her own strength was too weak, and that her pursuit would only be a burden.

"Someday..."

She murmured to herself.

Fortunately, Li Hao survived, and she still has hope of seeing him again.

"Child..."

As she gazed into the distance, lost in thought, a gentle and kind voice suddenly surfaced in her heart.

Lin Qingying was slightly taken aback, and immediately suspected that it was her imagination, so she looked around.

At this moment, the Supreme and the Dao Source Immortal Emperor seemed to sense something as well. Their eyes flickered slightly as they looked down into the crowd and glanced at the inconspicuous figure in green robes.

Although the woman was exceptionally beautiful, she was not particularly noticeable among Heavenly Prodigy many brilliant talents present.

"I am the Wu Wei Shi Mu, would you be willing to become my disciple?"

That gentle, kind voice rang out again.

Lin Qingying heard it clearly this time and was stunned. She looked around blankly but could not see the speaker.

But she had a feeling that it seemed to be her Future path.

"I do."

She responded silently in her heart.

Following this Emperor Path, Li Hao continued forward until it reached the Starry Sky beyond the Mountain Range, under the watchful eyes of countless people, until he arrived at the end of the road.

This is a Void vortex, which connects to another space.

Li Hao knew that Dao Source Immortal Emperor intended to send him elsewhere.

Standing before the whirlpool, the boy paused, then slightly turned his body, but ultimately did not turn back. He then took a step forward and entered the whirlpool.

From then on, the boy disappeared from the sight of the people of the Southern Region.

Seeing this, Dao Source Immortal Emperor glanced at the Supreme and calmly said, "The others are insignificant; the Supreme should not make things difficult for them."

The Supreme remained noncommittal, calmly stating, "It's a grand gathering in the Southern Region, so I won't keep you here for a drink."

Dao Source Immortal Emperor smiled calmly upon being ordered to leave, not taking it to heart, and his figure disappeared into the Void without leaving any trace.

As Dao Source Immortal Emperor disappeared, the sky above the Mountain Range gradually returned to some noise after a brief silence.

Countless people were whispering among themselves, shocked and astonished, speculating about the boy's whereabouts.

Such Prodigy, I wonder where he went in the Southern Region, or if he will leave the Southern Region altogether.

The thought that the opponent might leave the Southern Region filled many people with regret. Such Heavenly Prodigy not fighting for the Southern Region would be a huge loss.

That Sin Immortal happened Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Catastrophe. Is it really necessary to pursue it now? Many people are pondering this, sighing with regret.

The remaining contestants looked at each other, their expressions complex.

Especially among the many True Immortal Realm present, apart from Shen Wuji and others, the True Immortal Heavenly Prodigy from other major clans all had a complex feeling.

Although the battle among the True Immortal Realm group has not yet ended, it seems unnecessary to continue. Without a doubt, although the Champion has not yet been determined, that young man is the Uncrowned King!

"Pity..."

Chu Tianhuang sighed inwardly. He had originally planned to befriend the young man after the Grand Battle.

Chu Yueli frowned, her face looking rather grim. She didn't know where the young man had gone. She could only ask her father, the Emperor, about this matter. If he left, her Betrothal would become meaningless, and she might even become a laughingstock among her Imperial Clan Sisters.

"There are always people more amazing than you. I never imagined that one day there would be such extraordinary Prodigy who would leave us speechless."

Boya Xuejian Whispers, a helpless smile on her lips, shook her head, and glanced at the other Immortal Lord Realm Heavenly Prodigy. Only by obtaining the qualification to go to the Original True World would she have the chance to meet that young man again.

At this moment, the World Stone in the sky shone brightly once more, the Supreme power receded, and the scene here was reflected throughout the Southern Region.

When the young man disappeared from the sky, the various Immortal Dynasty of the Southern Region were abuzz with discussion, wondering what had happened.

The Immortal Guard Commander received the Supreme's order to continue the Grand Battle.

"This trip to the Southern Region has truly broadened my horizons."

Gui Lingyue Whispers, her eyes filled with complex emotions, mixed feelings, and a hint of excitement.

Gui Lingshuang remained silent. The Aura emanating from the young man after his advancement to Immortal Lord made her wary. He had only Soul Lifespan for a hundred years and had just entered the Immortal Lord, yet he was already so ferocious. She felt the difference in their abilities.

What happened?

In a secluded spot in a certain Immortal Dynasty, Mi Xueyao frowned as she gazed at the scene reflected in the mirror once again.

That guy's gone. Is he dead or something?

In the Void.

Looking at Mountains and Rivers watched Li Hao leave and breathed a sigh of relief. With Dao Source Immortal Emperor intervening, Li Hao would surely be protected.

However, he dared not pursue it any further. Although as Li Hao's protector, he had a way to find Li Hao's whereabouts, he was worried that he would be tracked by the Supreme and expose Li Hao's location.

"Kid, we can only rely on you from now on. If you need anything, just ask Emperor Luo..."

Looking at Mountains and Rivers Dark Dao, feeling a bit desolate. He hadn't been able to help Li Hao much, and the legacy left by the Tian Yang Immortal Emperor couldn't bring the young man much benefit either. Instead, it had brought him to the brink of death today.

"Are you staying here, or are you coming with me?"

Beside him, Old Han glanced at Looking at Mountains and Rivers and frowned.

Looking at Mountains and Rivers snapped out of his daze. He had already recognized Old Han's identity. He bowed and said, "This junior will depart with you, sir."

Old Han didn't say much. He rolled up his sleeves, enveloping the Black Tower in its divine light, then tore through the True Realm Heaven and Earth and disappeared.

He did not return to Heart Questioning Floating Pagoda City, but instead left the Southern Region and headed to the profound Original True World.

From that moment on, the city lost a tower.

However, in a certain primitive imperial city, there was an extra incomplete Emperor Artifact.

As the Grand Battle in the True Immortal Realm continued, the Emperor Platform was also repaired.

However, this episode was so turbulent that many people are still discussing it and have little interest in the subsequent battles.

This left the later contestants feeling somewhat aggrieved, as it seemed that all the spotlight had been stolen by that young man, and they could no longer make a name for themselves.

But no matter what, as time went by, one match after another, gradually, the attention of everyone in the Southern Region was drawn back to this Heaven Pride Assembly Battle.

With the Top Ten emerging, the Southern Region Heaven Pride Battle once again reached a small peak.

In the final showdown for the Champion, Di Linchen displayed the domineering power of the Emperor Clan, defeated Sword Heart Dao Heart was damaged, and took first place.

With this, the rankings for Group 1 of the True Immortal Realm have come to an end.

Di Linchen is first, Sword Heart is second, and Mingyue is third.

Shen Wuji and Gui Lingyue, respectively at the fifth and eighth levels, both qualified to enter the Original True World and received rewards from the Supreme.

During the awarding of prizes, everyone couldn't help but think of the departing youth. He possessed the strength of Champion, but since he had forfeited the competition, he naturally wouldn't receive the Supreme reward.

What followed was a battle Immortal Lord Realm, the fighting became even more intense, Immortal Dao Laws permeated the Emperor Platform, leaving countless people in awe.

After a series of fierce battles, the number of the Immortal Lord Realm was small, so the Grand Battle progressed more quickly, ending in just three days.

Immortal Lord Realm Seventh Layer Di Jiming with the Emperor Clan Bloodline, took first place without any controversy.

With an overbearing attitude, he forcefully suppressed other opponents, and his cultivation and methods Peerless in the Same Realm.

The stronger Di Jiming's performance became, the more people were reminded of that figure, but they could only sigh in their hearts.

With the Termination the Southern Region Assembly Battle, all those who had secured a spot awaited the Supreme's dispatch to the Original True World.

The rest of them returned to their respective Tianzong and Immortal Dynasty and departed.

"You're ruthless."

On the return journey through the Starry Sky, seven figures emerged in a secluded private domain.

The faint Starlight shone down, casting flickering light on the faces of the seven people.

The one who spoke was none other than Heavenly Illumination Emperor.

His face was grim, and the person he was staring at was none other than the Imperial Emperor of Yan-Chu, the Emperor Chu.

"I know you wanted to protect them, consider the bigger picture, and exonerate them in the future when you settled them in your territory. But this operation has been far too devastating."

Heavenly Illumination Emperor said in a deep voice.

"That's right, it's fortunate that Dao Source Immortal Emperor intervened, otherwise..." A clear, cold voice rang out from the side; it was the Original Venerable Empress with skin as white as snow.

Her eyes were cold and clear, lacking the nonchalance she had displayed when chatting and laughing amidst the Cloudmist, now carrying a hint of chill.

"That boy is the successor of the adults, and you almost extinguished the only flame. If they knew they survived by doing this, they would probably never agree to it," Emperor Jin said in a low voice.

Earlier, his son Jin Fengling attacked Li Hao. He stood in front of his son, but now his eyes were particularly gloomy as he stared at the Emperor Chu.

"We can't entirely blame him. Over the years, the Supreme has never stopped testing us. Our Immortal Dynasty has been spies planted throughout the Heavenly Palace, making it impossible to hide. Emperor Chu's actions were also a sacrifice of personal interests for the greater good, but..."

The Emperor Qin sighed.
