Breakthrough and arrival!

The news that Demon had come to challenge the Gusu Emperor Star spread not only among the Su Clan, but also among the Lin Clan, the Jiang Family, and other prominent Aristocratic Clan.

The Jiang Family, the Jiang Divine Mansion.

"Demon challenge? Perfect, I'll kill as many as they come!"

"A young Heavenly Prodigy from the Jiang Family said coldly."

"So this is the fortuitous opportunity Master was referring to when he said I could go down the mountain. No wonder he told me to return home."

Another Jiang Family said that he was the Jiang Family Heavenly Prodigy defeated by General Su Wanxue, who had won the Sword Pool Victory, and was also Jiang Huanhuan's fourth brother.

"They want to use this opportunity to kill our Human Race's Heavenly Prodigy? Then we'll take this opportunity to kill their Demon Prodigies!"

"That's right. Even if they don't come, a thousand years from now, I will still go to that Border Battlefield and slaughter them until the heavens and earth are dark."

The Jiang Family members were all full of fighting spirit. Facing Demon, no one would back down. Otherwise, how could the Jiang Family have become one of the pillars of the Human Race in the Northern Region?

The Lin Clan.

The news spread to all the courtyards, and many of the Lin Clan's Heavenly Prodigy gathered. However, one figure rushed towards the Ancestral Land to deliver the message to the Emperor Son, who was now the pride of the Lin Clan.

Outside the Ancestral Land, the Lin Clan elder sat in a rocking chair, stopping the person who came to report.

Upon hearing the news, Elder Xue shook his head slightly and said calmly, "Such a trivial matter is not worth disturbing. I will inform him when he comes out of seclusion. If there is time, let him kill all those Demons. If not, let that little girl from the Su Clan try her best. Other Aristocratic Clan should also be able to contribute."

Besides the Three Great Families, other Aristocratic Clan are also actively preparing for war, pouring all their resources into the most outstanding Heavenly Prodigy in their Lineage.

Some Lineage chose to send their most outstanding Heavenly Prodigy to defend the dignity of the Human Race and also hoped to make a name for themselves by thwarting the ambitions of the Demon in this first Sparring.

Other Lineage chose to send out backup True Dragon and hide the True Dragon to prevent its demise and the Lineage's decline.

In the secluded garden of the Su Manor, in the Immortal's Abode Courtyard.

Su Muqing and Li Hao flew back to the courtyard one after the other. As soon as they landed, Su Muqing lifted her foot and walked towards the hall. When she was about to cross the threshold, she suddenly Pause and turned her head slightly to look at the young man in the courtyard behind her.

"If you still have any backbone, then cultivate yourself properly."

As she spoke, she frowned, realizing that what she had said was somewhat unnecessary.

Although Li Hao was qualified to participate in the battle, he was only at the First Level of Immortal Lord Realm, which was too low. Even if his Movement Method was excellent, he would be useless if he could only run away in a real fight.

Moreover, those Demon won't care about martial ethics; they'll only fight against those of the same realm. When they go into battle, most of them will probably be at the seventh or eighth level of the Perfection Immortal Lord Realm, or even at the Prodigy of the realm. They will all be coming at the limit of Battle Soul lifespan.

Li Hao's Soul Lifespan is too short, and his cultivation level is too low. If he cultivates diligently, he might be able to participate in the next battle. However, the next battle will be a thousand years from now, and Li Hao's Soul Lifespan will be longer then. In this great clan competition, there will be no room for the other side to exert its influence.

Shaking her head, she stopped thinking about it and entered the hall.

Three years is but a blink of an eye for her; she must seize the opportunity to take another step forward!

With a bang, the palace doors slammed shut.

Li Hao glanced at the disappearing figure, then looked away and sat back down in his Sculpting chair.

Three years...

Li Hao's eyes flickered slightly. If he could break through to the Twelfth Stage of the Path of Carving in the next three years, his combat power would increase significantly.

The Northern Region Human Race is in dire straits, and if given the opportunity, he would like to contribute his own strength to this place.

Thinking it over, he picked up the Sculpting and began to Sculpting seriously.

The piece of wood in her hand quickly transformed into Daoist, which was none other than Ying Xiaoxiao.

Previously, Li Hao was unwilling to use the Eleventh Dan Sculpting technique to sculpt her because he did not want to desecrate her. But now, only when Sculpting her can Li Hao be completely immersed in the process and gain a deeper understanding. He feels that only in this way can he grasp the True Intention of Sculpting more quickly.

He also incorporated his insights from Painting Dao into his Sculpting.

Sculpting and painting may seem similar, but they are quite different.

For ordinary people, one uses the pen as a tool, and the other uses the tool as a pen.

However, in Li Hao's eyes, the two are fundamentally different.

Sculpting may seem like painting on wood, but in reality it is about removing flaws, capturing the natural essence, and creating Perfection formed objects.

The Painting Dao is to gather the five elements and cultivate one's true self.

Color, ink, form, meaning, and soul—all are elements of painting.

What they have in common is that the Painting Dao also contains the Spacetime Law and Spacetime Law, and so does the art of Sculpting.

"The most precious carvings in the world are probably those that have been sculpted by time and the passage of Years, gradually changing over time..."

Li Hao's eyes flickered.

The Divine Wood Sculpting in her hand gradually transformed into the likeness of Ying Xiaoxiao, standing gracefully in her palm, her figure slender and beautiful, her eyes revealing the youth of a young girl and the Wenrou of an old friend.

Li Hao silently sculpted, each stroke a memory of his partner.

Time slips away quietly.

The Immortal's Abode Courtyard was filled with abundant Immortal Power. Even though Li Hao did not consciously absorb it, a large amount of Immortal Power still flowed into his body.

A year later, as the Immortal Power within him continued to accumulate, it reached a bottleneck. Then, while Li Hao was immersed in Sculpting, he silently broke through his realm, advancing from the First Level of Immortal Lord Realm Second Level of Immortal Lord Realm!

As his cultivation level increased, Li Hao's Immortal Power also suddenly doubled, increasing to three times its original level!

In the True Immortal Realm, each level of cultivation doubles the Immortal Power, while in the Immortal Lord Realm, it triples!

There wasn't a noticeable difference at first, but as the level increased, every three-fold improvement accumulated into an extremely exaggerated gap!

Therefore, the higher the realm, the lower the possibility of reversing the realm. Even top Heavenly Prodigy like Su Muqing can only reverse the realm by three or four levels at the Immortal Lord Realm. If they encounter other Prodigy, their other Heavenly Prodigy Immortal Arts will cancel each other out, and it is already extremely rare for them to reverse the realm by one or two levels.

Despite the advancement in his cultivation level, Li Hao remained oblivious, still immersed in Sculpting.

His Heaven and Earth Immortal Body was also constantly being perfected.

Another year has passed.

A faint buzzing sound emanated from Li Hao's body. His Immortal Body and Primordial Spirit were locked in a battle, which ultimately ended in a draw!

With the score tied, the two sides were now intertwined and inseparable. His Heaven and Earth Immortal Body had truly condensed and entered the Lesser Completion stage!

Although it was only a minor achievement, Li Hao could feel that his power surged at this moment, an improvement far exceeding that of a breakthrough in realm.

The power of his Primal Spirit Golden Bone was all added to his Immortal Body, and he felt that even raising his hand contained terrifying destructive power of the Primordial Spirit.

Over the past two years, Li Hao has been consuming Ancient Demon every day, and his Primal Spirit Golden Bone have increased by more than two hundred, bringing the total to one thousand one hundred!

Li Hao felt that his Primordial Spirit power was getting closer and closer to fullness, leading to some mysterious legendary realm.

He knew that was the Primal Spirit Final Realm!

Back then, the Venerable God in the True Venerable Tower was a being at the Primal Spirit Final Realm, and he did not perish in that catastrophe. True God Undying Realm!

If Li Hao could also cultivate to become True God, he felt that even Immortal King Realm would find it difficult to kill him, and he might even have a slight chance of escaping from Immortal Emperor.

However, he is still some distance from this distant Terminal Realm, but he is getting closer and closer to its threshold!

As time passed, news of Demon challenging the Human Race's Heavenly Prodigy on the Gusu Emperor Star gradually spread from various Aristocratic Clan.

The entire Gusu Emperor Star was abuzz with discussion.

Aside from those Aristocratic Clan, many ordinary Immortal Deity were also filled with righteous indignation upon hearing this news, wishing they could personally step forward and slay the Demon.

The top Heavenly Prodigy of each Aristocratic Clan have all secluded themselves to diligently cultivate within their clans, making their final push in Seclusion.

For the past two years, Jiang Huanhuan and Lin Jinrou have not appeared at the Su Clan Immortal's Abode Courtyard. Su Wanqing and Su Wanxue have also not been seen at the Immortal Abode. As for the tightly closed palace gate, it has remained unmoved, as if it were sealed away.

Only Nanny Wu and the maids in the courtyard occasionally passed by this place.

Li Hao continued his silent cultivation, devouring Ancient Demon every day.

He had already consumed most of the Ancient Demon Corpse he had hunted during the Southern Region Trial. Li Hao felt that the remaining corpses would only be enough for him to eat for less than two more years.

However, once he finished eating, Li Hao planned to ask the Su Clan for some more, too lazy to go out hunting himself.

Beyond the Gusu Emperor Star, in the Starry Sky.

A jet-black warship sped in, teleporting here from the distant depths of space. Its hull was shrouded in Emperor's Might, and it had already alarmed certain beings within the Emperor Star the moment it arrived outside.

"Is this the Emperor Star of the Northern Region Human Race?"

"I've heard that the Su Clan and Lin Clan, who have been quite active lately, are both on this Emperor Star."

"Hmph, the Su Clan, huh? The taste is not bad."

On the deck of the black warship, a series of tall figures stood. Some were slender with cold faces, some were burly with Aura as deep as mountains, and others were graceful with beautiful faces, like bright, cold moons. Each of them had a unique temperament and would become the center of attention wherever they stood.

There were twenty such people on this deck.

Among them, Five Daos figures stood out the most, with phantom images of the Great Dao appearing around them, and seemingly invisible, extremely subtle life force above their heads, connecting to the power of a certain Xingchen in the distant Starry Sky.

The fierce wind outside the warship whipped their immortal robes around, making them rustle loudly. Each of them stood as firm as a nail, their imposing aura unstoppable, their eyes cold and piercing.

Around them were three profound figures gazing at the enormous Emperor Star before them.

Outside the Emperor Star, the faint phantom of a golden phoenix could be seen, but this phantom was invisible to ordinary people.

They knew that this was the Fate Soul of this Emperor Star.

Plants and trees become spirits, Birds and Beasts become Demon, mountains and rivers also have their own Fate Soul, and so does the Emperor Star.

Judging from the swirling Ancient Phoenix shadow, the fortune on this Emperor Star is extremely prosperous, and it must have gathered many Heavenly Prodigy.

"They've already sensed our arrival."

One of the figures Whispers.

"I wonder if they're sending some suicide bombers or planning a desperate gamble. I've heard that the Su and Lin families have produced Prodigy with imperial potential; I hope we can meet them on this trip."

Another figure spoke calmly, his eyes purple, seemingly Birth and Extinction lightning within them, and exuding terrifying power.

The warship Past approached the Emperor Star until it was engulfed by the Emperor Star's light and entered it.

On Gusu Emperor Star, the hidden figures of the various Aristocratic Clan all raised their heads at this moment, gazing at the sky in astonishment and doubt.

An undisguised, extremely evil and ferocious Demon aura swept in from outside the Emperor Star.

"They're here!"

The patriarch of a certain Aristocratic Clan, his body hunched over, suddenly flashed a cold light in his dim, yellowish eyes.

"Go awaken the Heir, prepare to slay the demon and vanquish the monster!"

The patriarch of another Aristocratic Clan Whispers, his eyes filled with undisguised killing intent. At the same time, his aura was revealed without any restraint.

This is the Human Race Emperor Star, this is Human Race territory. How can we allow those Demons to run rampant and spread their oppressive Aura!

As the enormous warship Descent the Emperor Star, a ferocious and evil Aura belonging to Demon descended like Dark Clouds. The people in the more than 30,000 Immortal City on the Emperor Star felt a chilling sensation, as if something slippery had flowed down their throats into their stomachs, churning them constantly, causing an extremely nauseating and uncomfortable feeling, as well as an uncontrollable tremor of terror.

"It's the Aura of Demon!"

"What a terrifying Aura! What level of Demon is this?!"

"Could it be the Demon Emperor?"

"No, impossible. When the Great Emperor travels, his Emperor Path traverses the entire True Realm's Starry Sky; even a three-year-old child could look up and see it."

In each Immortal City, countless people were shocked and looked up at the sky, but their eyesight was limited, especially on the back of the Emperor Star, where they could not see the warship. However, the evil and ferocious aura was like Demon breathing in their ear, and everyone could feel it.

As the Demon Aura spread, countless people on the entire Emperor Star were filled with fear. Suddenly, powerful and unparalleled auras rose from all parts of the Gusu Emperor Star, like shining divine pillars piercing the sky!

Those powerful and invincible auras came from various powerful Aristocratic Clan. Many of the Aristocratic Clan's slumbering ancestors were Awakening at this moment, displaying their power and filled with Anger and killing intent!

The entire Gusu Emperor Star instantly seemed to have become a battlefield between Human Race and Demon. Terrifying auras swept across the sky, protecting the Immortal City and confronting the auras of the Demon.

There was a bang.

In Gusu City, the Su Clan's imposing aura suddenly rose, as if a god were raising his head and rising from the earth.

Those who were cultivating or in Seclusion in the various courtyards of the Su Clan all felt this vast and powerful force. This force was pure, masculine, and as majestic as a mountain, standing tall and unyielding.

Li Hao, who was engrossed in Sculpting, looked up, his thoughts gradually returning from confusion.

A Heaven and Earth Dharma Form appeared above the Su Clan. This Dharma Form image was extremely huge, like an ancient giant god. Even with Li Hao's eyesight, he could only see its lower legs and knees. Its upper body was countless feet long and pierced through the Cloudmist.

"This is..."

Li Hao's eyes were solemn. The aura of this Dharma image belonged to Su Zhenyuan, the head of the Su family, and it exuded imperial might, but it was clearly inferior to the imperial might of a supreme being. It was not a true Immortal Emperor.

With a creak, the palace door in front suddenly burst open, and a figure stepped out on the wind—it was Su Muqing.

Her gaze fell upon the majestic Dharma Form, her eyes solemn.

"A three-year period..."

She Whispers softly, and in the blink of an eye, three years had passed, and the Demon arrived just as promised!

Li Hao's gaze shifted to Su Muqing. Su Muqing noticed Li Hao's gaze, glanced at him, and immediately noticed that Li Hao's cultivation had increased by one level, reaching the Second Level of Immortal Lord Realm.

It seems my earlier words had an effect on him... However, after staying at the Immortal's Abode Courtyard for so long, it's time for him to break through.

Su Muqing withdrew her gaze, no longer looking at Li Hao; whether the latter broke through or not was meaningless in this battle.

The key point is that she has made breakthroughs herself over the past three years.

Now, I am at the Immortal Lord Realm Seventh Layer!

Besides her improved cultivation level, she has also made progress in other areas.

"Demon with a thousand-year Soul Lifespan... Let me see it."

Su Muqing's eyes flashed with a cold light, filled with Chill.

High in the sky, thunder roared and a jet-black warship Descent, Cloudmist billowing and an immeasurable aura pressing down as it appeared above Gusu City.

Besides the Su Clan, the Lin Clan, the Jiang Family, and other prominent Aristocratic Clan in the city also felt this oppressive atmosphere.

"Three Half-step Emperor Lord?!"

In the Jiang Family, a silver-haired woman with Divine Moon Mark on her forehead sat upright in the Grand Void Hall of the Jiang Family, her eyes gazing straight at the sky, piercing through the Palace Hall's dome to see the scene on the Black Warship.

The next moment, her Silver Threads flew in the wind, her immortal robes billowed, and a Heaven and Earth Dharma Form rapidly extended from behind her, instantly crossing the entire massive Grand Void Hall. Even the surrounding Jiang Divine Mansion shrank rapidly beneath her feet. The Dharma Form continued to grow taller, and even Gusu City seemed to be under her feet.
