Dragon Seeing Pass Falls

"Quickly, retreat and defend! Dragon Coil!"

"Long Ying said hastily."

The enormous dragon formation suddenly spun around, coiling like a giant python. Duan Yuan and the others acted quickly, twisting the dragon's belly to coil around the dragon's tail where Li Hao was located in the deepest part.

After the previous battles, Li Hao's performance had completely won their approval, so they all chose to defend against Li Hao for now.

When Li Hao saw the charging Ghost Matriarch Array, his expression changed. He could feel that the Aura was much stronger than the Nether Ghost Array. He felt a chilling light piercing his back, as if a deathly haze was looming over him.

Life and death hang in the balance. Li Hao had no time to think. Just as he was about to ignite his True God Blood, Shi Miao's voice suddenly entered his mind:

"I'll do it."

A terrifying Time Power suddenly acted upon the dragon formation, and then, Shi Miao, who was located at the dragon's claw, was radiated with Seven-Colored Divine Radiance.

The dragon's Sharp Claws lashed out, tearing through Time and Space, blocking the Void battlefield from which the Ghost Matriarch Array was poised to attack, creating a Time and Space ruin.

The Ghost Matriarch Array crashed into the void of Time and Space ruins, and her figure froze, as if frozen inside.

But this pause was extremely brief. Shi Miao raised her hand again, and a Seven-Colored Spiral Divine Radiance emerged from the Void. Like a sharp arrow, it instantly shot towards the Ghost Matriarch Array, piercing through one of its arms. Many Ancient Demon fell out from it, their bodies exploding.

Having lost an arm, the Ghost Matriarch Array became even more frenzied, letting out a low growl as she charged forward at an even greater speed.

Long Ying and the others were still in shock; they hadn't expected Shi Miao to be able to counterattack the Ghost Matriarch Array.

Bang!

Suddenly, a dragon's roar resounded. The Earth Armor Division, which had been chasing behind the Ghost Matriarch Array, caught up in the brief moment that Shi Miao had blocked it, and bit down on the back of the Ghost Matriarch Array Formation. The two sides then engaged in a fierce battle.

"Quickly, retreat to another spot."

"Long Ying said hastily."

The nine people cooperated with the two armies to quickly retreat away from this battlefield, as the aftershocks of the Ghost Matriarch Array's battle would cause them damage.

Fortunately, they managed to retreat safely from the side. The Ghost Matriarch Array was entangled by the Earth Armor Division Dragon and could not break free. Moreover, due to the loss of an arm, she quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.

Long Ying and the others were all shocked. They thought Li Hao's performance was amazing enough, but they didn't expect Shi Miao to actually injure the Ghost Matriarch Array with the Six Harmonies Dragon Scale Array. This was no less than Immortal King severely injuring his opponent by crossing two realms.

They initially thought these two coming to the Dragon Shield Seventh Tower would be a burden, but now it seems they've become a blessing in disguise.

Before they could catch their breath, the Nether Ghost Array attacked from the side, and the many were once again plunged into fierce fighting.

The situation on the battlefield was also undergoing tremendous changes, with battles taking place everywhere. In the Otherworld the two Quasi-Emperor Realm were fighting, countless Destruction forces were rampant. Accompanied by dragon roars, a huge Ancestral Dragon body withdrew from it, while another Ancient Demon figure, as ferocious as a black giant ghost, with Black Mist emanating from its body, returned to the group of Ancient Demon.

Behind the battlefield, Qing Xuan hurriedly greeted the returning city lord Long Potian. Upon seeing his disordered Aura, his expression changed slightly, and he said:

"Lord of the city, are you alright?"

"It's alright, that guy was injured more badly than me!"

Long Potian grinned slightly, but his eyes swept over the Ancient Demon horde with a sinister look. Then, he looked around and saw that although the battlefield was locked in a stalemate, the situation was still stable, and their side had the advantage.

He glanced at the Teleportation Array and saw that the Heaven A Division, which had been deployed in advance, had already revealed itself. They had cut down all seven or eight Ghost Matriarch Array that were trying to destroy the Teleportation Array, and two of the Punishment Ghost Array were also entangled and unable to escape.

With a firm resolve, he looked up to the sky and roared like a dragon:

"Kill!"

The voice of the Ancestral Dragon resounded throughout the battlefield, possessing an invigorating power that could inspire the Bloodline of the various races in the Eastern Region.

Many Military Formation unleashed even more terrifying momentum, charging towards the Ancient Demon formation.

Li Hao and Shi Miao also sensed the increased morale of Long Ying and the others, and the power within the dragon formation increased by 10%. They then charged forward.

As Li Hao's Extreme Dao Method was about to decline, he intended to burn his True God Blood to maintain his power, but he discovered that the Nether Ghost Array around him was rapidly retreating, and one after another, black giant ghosts were fleeing away from the battlefield.

"They're trying to escape, kill them!"

"Long Ying," the dragon roared.

They gave chase, and the Nether Ghost Array, with their backs to them, was quickly dealt a heavy blow.

However, Long Ying did not pursue them further, only chasing them to the edge of the land outside the city before stopping. In that Void, the Ancient Demon army was still shrouded in black mist, making it impossible to discern their exact numbers. They were a vast, oppressive mass.

"We held on!"

We won!

As the Ancient Demon army fled in large numbers, cheers erupted from all parts of the battlefield.

Li Hao followed in the Military Formation, but his thoughts became exceptionally calm. He scanned the battlefield and saw countless Ancient Demon bloodstains scattered everywhere, among which were also the corpses of many soldiers from various races.

With the sound of horns, many Military Formation retreated without pursuing further. Meanwhile, in the Void where the Ancient Demon were, the Black Mist gradually receded and disappeared, and the Starry Sky regained its light.

We won!

Long Ying finally relaxed and smiled. In this battle, none of the nine of them were injured or killed. Although the Military Formation was damaged in the abdomen and some soldiers were injured, the Military Formation was not broken and the damage was relatively minor, which was an excellent result.

"Thank goodness you stopped that Ghost Matriarch Array, otherwise we would all be doomed."

Long Ying immediately looked at Shi Miao and said with relief.

He had a vague feeling that if this girl were to challenge his position as the sect leader, she would likely succeed, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of respect for her.

Upon hearing Long Ying's words, Duan Yuan and the others couldn't help but look at Shi Miao, their eyes filled with joy and gratitude.

Shi Miao their expressions, Shi Miao's furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and she nodded faintly. Although she had been somewhat resentful towards them earlier, she had put it aside now. She moved swiftly to Li Hao's side and asked, "Are you alright?"

"Fine."

Li Hao shook his head and smiled.

Having achieved initial victory, he also felt the terrifying nature of this top-tier Frontier battlefield.

Even now, having become Immortal King, there is still the danger of perishing in an instant.

Shi Miao gave him a reproachful look and transmitted her voice, "There's no need. Don't burn your True God Blood. Although it's your trump card, it's not easy to cultivate back the True God Blood that's been burned."

Although Li Hao could refine True God Blood by consuming the flesh and blood of Ancient Demon, he still needed to consume a considerable amount to recover. Compared to ordinary people, this was an extremely abnormal cultivation method, but it ultimately took a toll on him.

Li Hao knew she was worried about him, so he nodded. "I won't use it lightly until it's truly a critical situation."

Shi Miao nodded, knowing that the situation had been critical and there was no better choice. However, Li Hao didn't have one, but she did.

"Brother Haotian, we underestimated you before. We didn't expect your performance to be just as good as ours."

Gui Xuanbing of the Ghost Clan said to Li Hao.

Everyone else's eyes also fell on Li Hao. Apart from Shi Miao, Li Hao's performance was also surprising. Not only did he not hold them back, but his previous burst of momentum and quick counterattack against Nether Ghost Array were stronger than most of them.

Duan Yuan's expression shifted, quickly hardening into a solemn look as he addressed Li Hao:

"My previous rudeness was due to my narrow-mindedness; I hope you will forgive me."

Li Hao knew what he was referring to, shook his head and smiled, saying, "That was all a few years ago. Since we're on the battlefield together, we're comrades-in-arms, why say such things?"

Seeing Li Hao's carefree expression, Duan Yuan was slightly taken aback. He had thought that Li Hao would use this as an opportunity to be sarcastic, or like Shi Miao, to show indifference. He did not expect that the other party did not seem to care about what had happened before at all.

A surge of warmth welled up within him. Such magnanimity filled him with admiration. He clasped his hands in a fist salute to Li Hao once more, and said no more.

Seeing this, everyone else smiled, and the atmosphere became harmonious and joyful.

Across the battlefield, cheers erupted from the army, overwhelming and exhilarating.

Inside the city, the drums resounded, signaling the end of the campaign.

Long Ying and the others also withdrew from the dragon formation. Both armies bowed to the nine people in gratitude before returning to the city together.

"This time, in terms of Immortal Merit, we have slain five Nether Ghost Array, making this our largest victory in a thousand years."

On the Dragon Shield Seventh Tower, Long Ying looked at everyone and said, "According to the old rules, rewards will be distributed based on merit. This immortal Immortal Merit will be allocated according to everyone's unanimous agreement. I propose that the first merit be given to Shi Miao. Does anyone object?"

Duan Yuan and the others all looked at Shi Miao. If Shi Miao hadn't stopped the Ghost Matriarch Array earlier, they would have been doomed. So naturally, no one objected now.

Long Ying nodded. "Since there are no objections, the credit goes to Shi Miao. First Class Merit, I nominate two people: Duan Yuan Haotian. Anyone object?"

The group looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Duan Yuan was second only to Long Ying in strength, and his previous performance was also extremely hard-working. Li Hao's performance was also surprising. Although he was at the tail of the dragon, he cooperated with the two armies to block the Nether Ghost Array, and quickly killed one of them. He also helped others severely injure another one, making a great contribution.

Shi Miao and Li Hao exchanged glances but didn't speak. They didn't have any interest in the Immortal Merit, but they didn't refuse either.

"I think that in the next confrontation, Haotian can be in charge of the dragon's body."

"That's what Liuli said."

"That's right, I also think Haotian has the ability."

The others nodded in agreement.

"Brother Haotian, are you at the First Level of Immortal King Realm? Judging from your Aura, you've fallen back to the first level. Did you take some kind of Divine Medicine earlier?"

Gui Xuanbing asked curiously.

Li Hao knew that Sculpting was a difficult art to explain, so he nodded.

Are there any side effects?

Gui Xuanbing couldn't help but ask.

Everyone else stared at Li Hao, knowing that the pills that Long Ying had tried to give Li Hao earlier, which could temporarily boost cultivation, had significant side effects.

If Li Hao were to damage his foundation for this, it would be a huge blow to them.

"It only shortens one's lifespan."

Li Hao didn't elaborate, but he could handle a lifespan of five hundred years.

Although Li Hao spoke casually, everyone's expression changed slightly, and they remained silent, knowing that Li Hao's sacrifices were definitely not small.

This is Personal Disciple the Immortal Emperor, of extremely noble status, who is actually willing to sacrifice his lifespan to fight.

"In that case, Brother Haotian, next time you should take charge of the dragon's tail, and the others can help out."

"Long Ying said."

The others nodded. They had initially gone to look after Li Hao in order to double their Immortal Merit, but now they were more inclined to take care of this Heavenly Talent talented young man.

They truly saw a glimmer of hope in the other person—a hope for the Future!

After the distribution of Immortal Merit was completed, Long Ying told everyone to go and rest.

Li Hao and Shi Miao returned to their respective floors.

After the Extreme Dao Method ended, Li Hao was sore and weak all over. He soaked in the mountain spring, silently recovering himself, feeling the Divine Blood in his Immortal Body being warmed and nourished.

The exhaustion from overdrawing one's foundation is slowly recovering.

Scenes from the previous battlefield flashed through Li Hao's mind. This great battle left a deep impression on him, whether it was the battle between the city lords at the Quasi-Emperor Realm, the charging of the various Military Formation, or the deathly shadow cast by the Ghost Matriarch Array...

"The great war Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Catastrophe must have been a hundred or a thousand times more intense than this..."

Li Hao's thoughts drifted into the distance. The highest combat power of both sides in this battle was at the Quasi-Emperor Realm. The great war Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Catastrophe affected the entire True Realm. Even the Great Emperor perished, and countless Quasi-Emperor Realm were sacrificed. It was hard to imagine what kind of cataclysmic event it must have been!

"My power is still too weak... I must forge my own Emperor Path so that I may have even a breath of strength left in Future great battles."

Li Hao Dark Dao to himself.

The Musical Rhythm echoed in his mind; the countless fierce roars from the battlefield had stirred something within him.

In particular, the city lord's cry of "Ancestral Dragon Fighting!" ignited the passion and morale of many soldiers in the Military Formation.

All Things in the world has its own sound...

Li Hao slowly closed his eyes, as if asleep in the mountain spring.

After finishing her healing on her own floor, Shi Miao immediately went to the first floor of the Dragon Shield Tower to see Li Hao. However, she saw Li Hao soaking in the mountain spring, seemingly asleep, surrounded by strange Dao Resonance, with Myriad Dao Laws flowing around him, enveloping him like a cocoon.

She paused for a moment, then realized that Li Hao was in a Dao Realm enlightenment, so she silently stayed by his side without disturbing him.

Time passed.

The Immortal Merit technique was reported and approved. After the assignment was made, Long Ying came to inform him. Shi Miao took the initiative to greet him and did not let him enter the floor to avoid disturbing Li Hao's cultivation.

The entire Dragon Gate City, including all its buildings and locations, is in a state of post-war recovery.

In the City Lord's Mansion.

Qing Xuan, Long Potian, and the four commanders discussed the casualties and the Ancient Demon's objectives in the Council Hall.

"They really came for the Teleportation Array. It seems the purpose of that previous trace is quite clear."

"In this situation, we must ask Dragon Seeing Pass for help. Otherwise, with the Ancient Demon army pressing in, we might not be able to hold out next time they come."

"This offensive was already very strong, but we were prepared, so they didn't launch a radical attack and chose to retreat temporarily."

Several commanders then spoke up.

"Our Dragon Gate City is one of the hundred cities in the Second Defense Line; we absolutely cannot afford to lose it," a commander said in a low voice.

Long Potian nodded slightly, then frowned and said, "Dragon Seeing Pass is the First Defense Line and is short of troops. Instead of asking them for help, we should ask the other hundred cities for help. Dragon Seeing Pass."

"That's true."

Qing Xuan nodded, agreeing with the city lord's words.

They continued to discuss in hushed tones.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the first ten years after Li Hao arrived in this Eastern Region, he opened his eyes in a mountain spring at the summit.

At the same time, a secret report from Dragon Blood was urgently sent to the City Lord's Mansion Dragon Gate City.

The secret report shattered, and a dragon's roar erupted from within, revealing a terrifying message:

Dragon Seeing Pass has been breached!
