Taicang Ancestral Technique, Leaving the Mountains to Reap the Harvest (8K)
Seeing the smiling gazes of the Elder Qi, Li Hao was somewhat taken aback. His chaotic thoughts calmed down, and at this moment, his heart was extremely peaceful. He smiled and revealed his teeth:
Thank you, senior.
Although it wasn't intentionally taught by the other party, it was a deliberate guidance; to reap the rewards, one should acknowledge the cause.
"It's quite remarkable that someone so young has devoted himself to this unconventional path."
The Elder Qi chuckled.
While one can achieve sainthood and attain the Great Dao through the path of Chess Dao in worldly cultivation, it is by no means as exciting as the pursuit of weapons and sticks in the world.
Li Hao's gaze swept across the Go Board, only to find that the Go Board, which had previously appeared extremely Mystery, had not become clear and simple due to his enlightenment. Instead, it had become even more profound, containing not only the alternation of Time and Space but also the entanglement of cause and effect. He saw many traces that he had never seen before.
Before Entering the Dao, it is like gazing at the vast ocean; once Entering the Dao, it is like looking at the Star River and the universe.
"The Chess Dao by these two seniors is truly unfathomable."
Li Hao's eyes were filled with admiration. He knew that the two seniors' Chess Dao were far beyond Thirteenth Dan, far surpassing his own and beyond his reach. "We've just lived long enough and have nothing better to do," he thought.
The Elder Qi said that what they said was true. If they hadn't lived long enough and had nothing else to do, they wouldn't have studied other things and found this Chess Dao to pass the time.
Past countless Years, hundreds of thousands of years have passed. Even without focusing their attention on it, they could still discern extremely profound levels of understanding.
However, their understanding of the Chess Dao only enhances their combat strength; it cannot allow them to break through their Terminal Realm.
"You're too modest, senior."
Li Hao shook his head, then asked curiously, "Senior, you previously said that you were born in Chaos and should be the oldest existence in the Heaven and Earth, so why did you say that you are inferior to the Immortal Emperor?"
With such a long Years, if one were to forge Emperor Path, one would surely find it. Even if one's aptitude is lacking, the time available is considerable; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call one an immortal being. With endless time, what Emperor Path cannot one comprehend?
"Your turn."
The Elder Ba urged impatiently.
The Elder Qi smiled slightly, looked at the Go Board, pondered for a moment, and then placed a piece on it.
As soon as the piece was placed, Li Hao's gaze was drawn to Past, as if he saw a pillar of Heaven and Earth standing tall. The White Stone's movement became even more ferocious, trapping and binding the Black Stone piece.
The Elder Ba once again appeared deep in thought, remaining silent in contemplation.
The Elder Qi stared intently for a moment, then slowly raised their heads and smiled at Li Hao, saying, "All Things have an origin; we were born from Chaos."
This is the original Tai Cang Body Refining. Back then, there were no Myriad Dao Laws, nor the many realms these youngsters had created. Therefore, we have all already reached the Terminal Realm."
"The Taicang System? The Terminal Realm?"
Li Hao was stunned and asked, "The Terminal Realm... does that refer to a realm similar to Immortal Emperor?"
"Um.
The Elder Qi nodded. "From Primordial Era to the present, countless races have had numerous Body Refining, but All Streams Return to the Source, ultimately becoming the cultivation of Myriad Dao Laws, condensing World Domain, which is the current Emperor Dao System!"
"And the Terminal Realm of the Emperor Dao System is the Immortal Emperor, who can Mastery the Heavenly Dao Power and, upon reaching its peak, can rival the Heavenly Dao!"
"However, even when the Taicang System is cultivated to its peak, its combat power is only comparable to that of the Quasi-Emperor Realm. This is the Terminal Realm of the Taicang System."
Li Hao was stunned. The Terminal Realm of a system? So, the Elder Er in front of him were not limited by themselves, but by the system they cultivated.
"Can't it be surpassed? Or should it be revised?"
Li Hao asked doubtfully.
If even reaching the pinnacle of cultivation only equates to being comparable to the Quasi-Emperor Realm, then why not switch to the current Emperor Dao System?
"We were born from Chaos and have cultivated to the Taiji. We cannot and do not wish to change our cultivation."
The Elder Qi shook their heads, pointed to the Bamboo Grove, and said, "Look at this desolate scenery, it's not as good as Famous Mountain or Imperial Hall, but this is our home, and we love it very much. The dragon throne in the Imperial Hall is not as good as this broken wooden chair under my buttocks in my eyes. There is the sun and the moon in the world, one bright and one dark. It is not that the bright one is good, nor that the dark one is inferior. Whatever you like is the best in the world."
Li Hao was a little stunned, but for some reason, he immediately understood what the old man in front of him meant.
Hasn't he always been the same?
The love in one's heart surpasses all others in the world.
Countless people chase after the summit, but he prefers the simple pleasures of Mortal World. Countless famous Sword Manual and rare treasures are not as valuable to him as a Delicacies or a Chess Manual.
Although all of this was because he could draw strength from music, chess, calligraphy, and painting as a form of compensation, it was also because of his true passions.
If swords and clubs lost their power and status, how could their exquisite beauty compare to poetry, painting, chess, and music in Li Hao's eyes?
Seeing Li Hao's stunned expression, the Elder Qi smiled slightly, then said with a hint of mystery:
"Furthermore, although we are not as powerful as the Immortal Emperor, it depends on the location. In this Chaos world, even the Immortal Emperor could not harm us!"
The Taicang System cultivates oneself, while the Emperor Dao System governs Myriad Daos, Mastery the Heavenly Dao, and condenses the Emperor Heart. One is extremely simple, the other extremely complex. Perhaps in the distant Future, a new era will emerge, giving birth to Body Refining that surpasses the Emperor Dao System. But with countless peaks and endless Mountain Peak to climb, we have no heart to pursue them. It's better to stay in this secluded mountain courtyard, warm a pot of wine, play a game of chess, and listen to the sound of waves crashing in the bamboo forest.
"That's already very good."
As he listened to the old man's gentle, aged voice, Li Hao felt somewhat dazed, as if he had found a kindred spirit in some of his Conviction.
He saw it the same way.
The pursuit of worldly glory and disgrace is endless; mortals dream of ascending to heaven, and even emperors aspire to become immortals—there is no limit to their desires.
"Really."
Li Hao nodded, expressing his deep agreement.
When one cultivates to the Terminal Realm, no one can threaten them anymore; they are capable of protecting themselves, and that is enough.
Seeing Li Hao's gaze, a hint of surprise appeared in the eyes of the Elder Qi. None of those young men who wanted to be kings or emperors would have been able to accept his words about being old and feeble and lacking fighting spirit, let alone these young Heavenly Prodigy who were on the rise. They were full of passion and were forging ahead. They would only scoff at such ideas. Even if they agreed on the surface because of his pressure, they would not take it seriously.
Having lived for countless Years, he was adept at judging character and saw in the young man before him a sense of ease and composure that came from the fading of worldly glory.
"You've come here for the Heavenly Dao Power, haven't you? Do you need me to have it take you on a hunt?"
The Elder Qi changed the subject, patting the black dog beside them as they spoke.
Upon hearing this, the black dog looked at Li Hao warily. After all, it was Chaos Dao Seed and did not want to see foreign races slaughtering people at will here.
But feeling the subtle stroking of the hand on its head, it understood the old man's thoughts, and the wariness in its eyes quickly subsided.
"No need, I can manage on my own."
Li Hao shook his head, but felt that his words were a bit too confident, so he asked, "Senior, how does the strongest Chaos Dao Seed here compare to it?"
Seeing Li Hao's solemn expression, the Elder Qi smiled and said, "The strongest? It is indeed the strongest."
"It?"
Li Hao looked at the black dog, and upon hearing this, the black dog suddenly raised its head, looking at Li Hao with a hint of pride in its eyes.
Li Hao felt relieved. This black dog was indeed quite strong. It hadn't been instantly killed by him earlier, but had managed to escape all the way here after being chased. It was even stronger than the four dogs that ambushed him by the Chaos River.
"Then I can rest assured."
Li Hao said, but he had no intention of leaving immediately. He wanted to continue observing the Elder Er's game, feeling that just by watching the game, he could accumulate a continuous stream of Chess Dao experience.
As for hunting outside, he wasn't in a hurry. There were quite a few Chaos Dao Seed here, and even if everyone else came, they wouldn't be able to hunt many.
Moreover, he had already cleared out the Eighth Heavenly Domain and gained an extremely rich amount of Heavenly Dao Power.
"Senior, how does one cultivate using the Tai Cang Body Refining you mentioned?"
Li Hao asked curiously.
Before the emergence of the Emperor Dao System, the Heaven and Earth was in a state of primordial chaos, Li Hao could hardly imagine what the Body Refining was like back then.
The Elder Qi smiled and said, "You want to learn? But you've already cultivated the Emperor Dao System; it will be very difficult to reach the Terminal Realm if you cultivate the Taicang Ancestral Technique as well."
Unless after endless Years— "
At this point, he seemed to recall something interesting, pointing to the Bamboo Grove beside him, and said:
"Go and cut some bamboo, and I'll teach you."
"Cut bamboo?"
Li Hao was somewhat stunned. He had only intended to learn about it and hadn't expected the other party to teach him. However, the Elder Qi was more generous than he had imagined.
"Are the two compatible?" Li Hao asked.
The Elder Qi revealed a sly smile, "Then it's up to you."
Li Hao was speechless, realizing that the other party seemed to be using him as a guinea pig.
"I'll give it a try."
Li Hao didn't refuse. Anyway, he had nothing better to do. He only had a few hundred years of Soul Lifespan and had only come to this world once. He was quite curious and found the things that happened countless Years ago quite novel.
He arrived at the nearby Bamboo Grove, raised his hand, and conjured a Sword Qi, slashing towards the Bamboo Grove.
He thought he could easily sweep through the area, but when his Sword Qi touched the bamboo at the front, it got stuck and vanished without a trace.
Li Hao was stunned, his eyes widening in disbelief. His power hadn't even harmed the bamboo?
At that moment, he suddenly realized that the bamboo-cutting that the Elder Qi had mentioned was not a trivial matter, but rather a real trial.
But the bamboo in front of him was clearly very ordinary. Li Hao examined it carefully, tapped it with his hand, and felt that the bamboo contained an extremely thick Chaos Aura, but there was nothing special about it.
The Elder Qi glanced at each other, smiled without saying a word, and then lowered their heads to continue Chess.
Li Hao didn't ask any questions; instead, he started to figure it out on his own.
He gathered his Fate Sword Kill and struck the bamboo, only to be surprised to find that there was still no damage, not even a scratch.
"This... even Domain Artifact wouldn't be this bad, would it?" Li Hao couldn't help but be shocked. Could this Bamboo Grove be filled with divine artifacts at the Domain Artifact- level?
He then condensed many more Chaos Law, Refinement the Twenty-Four Chaos Laws into one, transforming them into the Decay Law and the Time Law, all of which were applied to the bamboo, but to no avail.
After trying several times, Li Hao finally discovered something terrifying half an hour later: the bamboo wasn't hard; it seemed to be immune to all Law Power!
Thinking of the Body Refining issue mentioned by the Elder Qi, Li Hao suddenly realized that with the various powers he currently Mastery, it would be difficult to harm the bamboo. This bamboo in the vicinity likely contained the same power that the Elder Qi cultivated.
"Since Immortal Power and Principle don't work, then we'll break it with our hands and feet!"
Li Hao Dark Dao to himself.
He unleashed brute force, his Qi and Blood like a dragon, and gripped the bamboo with his hand, beginning to exert force.
Sure enough, the bamboo, which was previously impervious to all magic, was actually being snapped by Li Hao, making cracking sounds as if it were about to break!
Seeing a glimmer of hope, Li Hao's eyes lit up with joy. He focused all his strength into his physical body and quickly bent a bamboo stalk.
But the bamboo was extremely tough and did not break.
"No, my physical body has reached its Terminal Realm. It's now the Terminal Realm physical body of the Immortal Lord Realm. Its power is already full and cannot be surpassed. If it can't be broken now, it will never be broken, unless it is worn down until cracks slowly appear!"
Li Hao Dark Dao to himself.
His physical body had already reached the Power Circulation Final Realm cultivation, Divine Blood. Now, with 12 stages of physical body, he was at the peak of the Immortal Lord Realm, capable of fighting against Dragon Sparrow within the same realm, but unable to surpass the Terminal Realm.
With the aid of Control Power, it dissipates and becomes invisible upon touching the bamboo; brute force cannot break it, it can only grind it down.
Li Hao began shaking the bamboo back and forth, but even after half a day of repeated shaking, the bamboo remained resilient and straightened up again as soon as he let go.
"It will probably take several years to break it."
Li Hao was somewhat dazed, and at the same time, he smiled bitterly. He could kill Demon as easily as killing chickens in the Immortal Lord Realm, but now he was actually stumped by a bamboo stalk. It was simply unbelievable.
"The method is definitely wrong."
Li Hao stood in front of the bamboo, no longer using brute force, but instead gazing intently at it, reaching out to carefully touch and feel its structure.
However, there seemed to be World Domain, and he could only vaguely sense the profound Chaos power contained within the bamboo.
Calm down and feel carefully.
Li Hao closed his eyes, immersing himself completely in the sensation, shutting out everything external except the bamboo his palms were touching.
"This little guy has a good temperament."
The Elder Qi looked up and a smile appeared on their lips.
"You're planning to have him try fusing the Emperor Dao and the Great Azure Path? Although the two paths are compatible, it would take countless hours, which is pointless. Cultivating one path to its peak is enough to stand at the pinnacle of the world."
"Elder Ba men," Ba Laozi said casually without even looking up.
"I'm just pointing out a path; whether he wants to take it or not is his business. If he finds it too difficult, he can stop; no one is forcing him."
The Elder Qi chuckled.
That's exactly what he thought. It wouldn't hurt for this energetic young man to walk the path that they themselves were unwilling or even too lazy to walk. Whether he gave up halfway or went all the way was none of his business.
Looking across history, what harm is there in pointing the way for future generations?
"If he can really make it through, perhaps he can go and Reincarnation."
As the Elder Ba spoke, they turned and glanced at the young man. Seeing that he was focused and single-minded, they gave a soft snort and continued to look at the Go Board.
The Elder Qi remained silent, and the two regained the tranquility they had maintained for countless Years, focusing intently on the Go Board.
The black dog squatted beside him, its eyes mocking the boy. "You think you can chop bamboo? No way!"
The old man had it try it out, saying that if it could do it, he would grant it a great Creation. But it struggled for hundreds of years and still couldn't bite through a single bamboo.
Human Race, do you think you can do that?
E EE nn
Time flies.
Half a month has Past in the blink of an eye.
In the Endless Heavenly Domain, except for the Eighth Heavenly Domain Heavenly Domain, battles and struggles raged everywhere on the land.
Bang!
A Chaos Dao Seed's body shattered, and a figure in a Blue Robe, wielding a divine spear, emerged from its body, one hand clutching a ball of Heavenly Dao Power.
He absorbed the nutrients rapidly, then turned and left without looking back.
He stopped to rest after flying straight into a Cave, and cautiously looked around.
Now, besides the Chaos Dao Seed, he also has to guard against others trying to steal it.
"We've already hunted 34!"
"I've accumulated quite a bit of Heavenly Dao Power within me. I don't know if it will be enough after I break through to the next realm, but Master said the more the better." Lin Dixuan's eyes flickered as he began to regulate his breathing and recuperate. He looked out of the Cave: "I wonder how Senior Sister Luo is doing in the Eighth Heavenly Domain. It'll be over in half a month. I'll go check on her when it's almost over. I wonder when that Ascension Path will appear; it hasn't been found yet."
He murmured to Whispers, then suddenly his gaze sharpened, and he concealed his Aura.
Dozens of miles outside the Cave, two enormous figures flew past, belonging to the Chaos Ancient Clan.
"These Chaos Ancient Clan almost robbed me earlier, forcing me to use a Domain Artifact. Damn them!"
Lin Dixuan's eyes were gloomy, filled with extreme resentment towards the Chaos Ancient Clan.
The Ninth Heavenly Domain.
In a deep valley within a forest, tremors erupted intermittently. Four figures were engaged in fierce combat: two Chaos Dao Seed and two Fairy with flowing robes.
"Quickly, focus on killing one of them first."
Luo Ningshuang gritted her teeth and said that she no longer looked as elegant and clean as before. Her Liuli -like green dress was stained with blood and torn in many places. The Jade Green mark on her forehead had also faded a lot.
Not far from her, Su Wanyi also looked disheveled, her hair messy and her white robe stained with blood.
"Quickly, don't make too much noise and attract more."
Su Wanyi's eyes showed fear, and she attacked even more fiercely. In this Ninth Heavenly Domain, although they hunted Chaos Dao Seed together, after fighting with a few Chaos Dao Seed, they found that the Chaos Dao Seed here were extremely terrifying. They had to deal with any one of them with all their might, and they might not be able to defeat them, let alone encounter two this time.
There was another creature sleeping deep inside the cave abode, something they hadn't anticipated; otherwise, they would never have taken the risk.
After all, fighting would attract other Chaos Dao Seed. If they were surrounded by three, they would likely be in danger and would only be able to save their lives by using their Domain Artifact.
But that thing was meant for use on the Ascension Path. If we use it now, we'll very likely lose our qualification to climb that Ascension Path.
"Spring-Summer Sword Art!"
Su Wanyi unleashed the Swordsmanship passed down from the Su Clan Progenitor; this was the second move.
Suddenly Sword Light in his hand shone brightly, bursting forth with intense light. Combined with the Chaos Sword Dao Refinement from 23 strands, it instantly struck out, slashing a huge, unhealable wound in the chest and abdomen of the centipede-like Chaos Dao Seed.
Upon seeing this, Luo Ningshuang rushed forward and launched a series of fierce sword attacks. The two cooperated with each other and quickly severely injured the Chaos Dao Seed.
E EE n■
In the Bamboo Grove.
Before that bamboo, the boy's figure still had his palm touching the bamboo, his eyes closed in concentration.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the boy's body seemed to have not moved at all.
Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew by, carrying a Falling Leaves from the Bamboo Grove.
With a sharp sound, like a sword being drawn from its sheath, the boy suddenly opened his eyes.
Falling Leaves, autumn wind.
Li Hao grasped the bamboo, then suddenly trembled, and in an instant, all Twenty-Four Chaos Laws within his body surged forth.
Gathered in his palm, with that tremor, Twenty-Four Chaos Laws resonated in unison, as if merging with his palm and the bamboo before him, creating a resonance.
Bang!
The bamboo suddenly burst open!
The sharp crack was like a thunderclap. The black dog beside him, whose eyes were drooping and who had been dozing off, was suddenly startled and jolted awake. He raised his head and opened his eyes to see the bamboo slowly falling down.
Its dog eyes suddenly widened.
What's going on? I took a nap and thousands of years have passed?!
The Elder Er, who were Chess, Pause slightly. The Elder Qi looked up, his eyes filled with surprise. In just half a month, this young man had actually grasped the essence?
He was somewhat surprised; he hadn't seen many people with such Heavenly Talent over the Years.
"Pure Chaos power-"
Li Hao stared at the shattered bamboo, a realization dawning on his eyes. This bamboo was impervious to all magic and unharmed by Immortal Power. Each bamboo fiber contained Chaos power, intertwined with each other. The only way to cut it was to break the Chaos power within it.
Only the power of Chaos can break through the power of Chaos.
Li Hao raised his hand, grabbed another bamboo stalk next to him, and with a jolt of his arm, the bamboo stalk also cracked open with a snap.
With Mastery the power of Chaos and resonance with the bamboo, cutting bamboo is no longer a difficult task for Li Hao.
He smiled and turned to look at the two elderly men.
"It seems you've mastered it."
The Elder Qi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "This is the cultivation of the Taicang Ancestral Technique. You have already learned how to combine the power of Chaos with your physical body. Before the emergence of the Emperor Dao System, the most primitive Taicang System involved using the power of Chaos in battle. However, this method has an upper limit. When the Chaos power within your body is absorbed to the point where it can no longer be absorbed, it reaches its ultimate state."
Li Hao realized that the Emperor Dao System was about harnessing Immortal Power and using qi to Control Art, while the Taicang System was about harnessing Chaos power and using force to penetrate the body.
Thank you, senior.
Li Hao cupped his hands in greeting.
Previously, he could only use the Chaos power he absorbed to activate the Chaos Law, but now he can directly apply it to his physical body in battle.
Simply put, the power of physical combat has increased many times over, opening up another path.
However, in terms of actual combat effectiveness, there isn't much difference.
After all, in a true showdown of ultimate skill, it would undoubtedly come down to his signature Swordsmanship and the Twenty-Four Chaos Laws.
"No wonder everyone cultivates the Emperor Dao System these days. It's really unnecessary to also master this technique. You only need one sword to kill an enemy. Even when dealing with different enemies, longswords, broadswords, Dagger, etc., are essentially the Principle of nature. So practicing fist techniques would be of little use."
Li Hao Dark Dao to himself.
However, although there was no real improvement, it was still a very enjoyable journey.
Li Hao looked inward and observed a Lake of Immortal Power within his body. Seeing the traces of Immortal Power flowing there, he immediately knew how long he had been cultivating.
The Lake operates according to its own Principle, and the dew dripping from it serves as a timekeeping indicator; half a month has passed since then.
"It's been so long in the blink of an eye. I should go hunt down the Chaos Dao Seed. If I kill them quickly, I'll have time to come back and watch the game again."
Li Hao Dark Dao to himself.
Although this is a rare place to accumulate experience in the Chess Dao, the opportunity to gain the Heavenly Dao Power is even more precious and should not be missed.
Li Hao approached the Elder Er, cupped his hands, and said, "Seniors, this junior intends to go hunting for the Chaos Dao Seed."
The Elder Qi were not surprised, but simply smiled and nodded slowly, "Go ahead, it's not too late for you to study this method after you reach the Emperor Realm. After all, it's something that has been eliminated and abandoned by the times, there's no need to spend too much time on it."
Li Hao understood that if he truly Immortal Emperor, cultivating the Taicang Ancestral Technique might bring him even greater power, but for him at present, cultivating the Emperor Dao was indeed the right path.
"Thank you, senior. I wonder when I will have the opportunity to see Elder Er again?" Li Hao asked.
"Then let's see how fate unfolds."
The Elder Qi smiled and said.
Li Hao felt a pang of regret that the Elder Er were unwilling to leave their contact information, but he also knew that these two immortals had seen through the ways of the world and might not like being disturbed.
He said nothing more, but bowed deeply in gratitude.
The Elder Qi waved their hands, and the world at the Bamboo Grove path became illusory again, revealing the illusory and fleeting mountains and rivers outside.
Li Hao knew it was time for him to leave.
He bowed to the Elder Er in farewell and left along the original path.
As they stepped out of the path and walked deeper and deeper, the outside Heaven and Earth became clearer and clearer. The mist dissipated, the Bamboo Grove behind them disappeared, and they returned to the Ninth Heavenly Domain.
Feeling the profound Chaos Aura between Heaven and Earth, Li Hao took a deep breath, feeling as if his pores were opening up.
As he absorbed this Chaos power, he also extended his Divine Sense to explore it.
Soon, he spotted the traces of two Chaos Dao Seed.
Whoosh!
Without hesitation, Li Hao's figure blurred as he charged towards the Chaos Dao Seed.
With a loud thud, a Chaos Dao Seed, its body resembling a giant mudfish and entirely black, slid through a swamp, exuding a terrifying Aura. Even Dragon Clan would likely become its prey here.
Li Hao's figure suddenly descended, stepping on the head of this Chaos Dao Seed. A Sword Qi shot out, instantly sweeping across the body of the Chaos Dao Seed and severing it in two.
"Fate Sword Kill!"
Li Hao's immediate move was a killing blow; he only hoped to kill them all as quickly as possible so he could then go and watch the game.
The Chaos Dao Seed, now split in two, roared, surprisingly not dead. It revealed a gaping, ferocious maw, like a suction cup, and lunged at Li Hao.
Li Hao casually unleashed hundreds of Sword Qi, instantly slicing his body into pieces and killing him quickly.
After absorbing the Heavenly Dao Power from this Chaos Dao Seed, Li Hao turned around and attacked the other one.
As Li Hao continued to hunt, he gained more and more Heavenly Dao Power.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Li Hao scanned the area with his Divine Sense and saw two figures in a valley. Five Chaos Dao Seed were entrenched around them, blocking all four directions. Another Chaos Dao Seed guarded the sky above, surrounding and sealing the two figures in the valley.
"How can there be so many?"
Luo Ningshuang's face was somewhat pale. She had previously killed two Chaos Dao Seed, but one of them chose to self-destruct, causing a great commotion. They managed to escape in time, but not long after they ran, five Chaos Dao Seed suddenly appeared in the place where they were resting.
These Chaos Dao Seed somehow managed to track them down; they had already concealed their Aura and tracks, yet they were still found.
"If that doesn't work, we'll have to use the Domain Artifact!"
Su Wanyi's expression was also somewhat grim. Sensing the intense Aura of death, she would have been in dire straits if not for her Domain Artifact.
This Ninth Heavenly Domain is indeed a perilous place of life and death. If they hadn't possessed Domain Artifact, they would have withdrawn ten days ago. After all, even the Heavenly Prodigy cherish their lives.
"If we're just trying to survive, one piece is enough for the two of us. But if we want to turn the tables on them all, we might need another one!"
Luo Ningshuang gritted her teeth. There were only three Domain Artifact left, and she would need them on the Ascension Path, where the competition would be even fiercer. Using one here would mean losing one.
"It's not worth using the Domain Artifact to kill them; let's save our lives."
Su Wanyi quickly replied, "Once we escape, we can find any stragglers and kill them one by one. It's too wasteful to use Domain Artifact to kill them."
Upon hearing this, Luo Ningshuang immediately agreed with the idea and nodded, saying, "Then—"
"I'll do it."
Su Wanyi noticed her hesitation and said decisively, "If we encounter danger again later, I'll use yours. If not, on the Ascension Path, you can protect me with one of your items, or offer the Heavenly Dao Power of ten Chaos Dao Seed as a trade."
"Then let's see if there's any danger ahead, or I can protect you with one item on the Ascension Path, and we can share it."
Luo Ningshuang said quickly.
Su Wanyi didn't hesitate any longer, nor was she worried that Luo Ningshuang would change her mind. After all, the situation was urgent and there was no time for the two of them to discuss it carefully. She immediately took out a Domain Artifact and was about to unseal the power that was sealed on it when suddenly, a whistling Sword Light arrived.
Bang!
The crimson Sword Light instantly pierced through the head of the Chaos Dao Seed hovering above them, passing through it like smashing through mud.
Blood splattered everywhere, but the crimson Sword Light flashed in an arc, swiftly slashing back and splitting the body of the Chaos Dao Seed into Tenth Dan, killing it instantly.
This scene stunned both Su Wanyi and Luo Ningshuang, who looked up in astonishment.
The crimson light was a Sword Qi, radiating a terrifying power.
The other four Chaos Dao Seed were also startled by this sudden change and roared, but the scarlet Sword Light did not diminish and instead turned to attack the Chaos Dao Seed on the east side.
At the same time, a footstep emerged from the ripples of Return to the Ruins Void, and Li Hao's figure stood on the fallen remains of the slain Chaos Dao Seed, his hand grasping the Heavenly Dao Power floating in the air.
Upon seeing Li Hao, both Luo Ningshuang and Su Wanyi were taken aback, their eyes narrowing slightly in shock.
The person who suddenly appeared was none other than Haotian of the Human Race?
"It's him? How could that be!"
Luo Ningshuang was incredulous.
That Chaos Dao Seed was the strongest of the five, yet it was instantly killed, and its Heavenly Dao Power was extracted!
Su Wanyi was also somewhat stunned. It was the first time she had seen this young man make a move, and the scene was extremely shocking.
At this moment, a sudden roar of shock and anger brought the two women back to their senses.
A crimson Sword Light shot out rapidly. The Chaos Dao Seed on the east side tried its best to defend, creating a Black Gleam, but was pierced by the crimson Sword Qi, which directly split its body open, scattering its organs all over the ground.
The other three Chaos Dao Seed roared Anger, but the next moment, they all turned and ran away.
Despite their numerical advantage, they all sensed the Aura of death emanating from the boy, a truly terrifying sight.
Moreover, with two of their own kind dead, and the boy plus the two women surrounded by them, their numerical advantage was gone.
What are we waiting for if we don't run?
"Um?"
Li Hao raised an eyebrow, not expecting the three Chaos Dao Seed to run away so resolutely and decisively. His Immortal Power surged suddenly, and his Destiny Sword Qi split into three, attacking from three directions in an instant.
Originating from cause and effect, and traversing time, it instantly transformed into three beams of red light, descending from the sky like meteors, and fiercely nailing the three fleeing Chaos Dao Seed to the ground.
