The Great War Begins

The Heavenly Venerable is both a realm of existence and a real being.

Li Hao could sense that among the Martial Dao Eight Realms, the Heaven and Man Realm was the most mysterious.

The Extreme Realm is the Immortal Transformation into an immortal, and reaching the Immortal Transformation of immortality allows one to touch the ethereal and elusive Heavenly Venerable.

Upon touching this Heavenly Venerable, Li Hao, who was completely integrated into Heaven and Earth and earth, seemed to slowly merge with the Heavenly Venerable, becoming part of its emotionless body.

With that majestic and supreme body, Li Hao had a terrifying sense that Myriad Dao Laws and All Things in the Heaven and Earth seemed to be under his Mastery and could be mobilized!

"The Terminal Realm... is merely a state of being, yet it allows one to touch upon a certain existence."

Li Hao felt that the existence of this Heavenly Venerable was somewhat terrifying, seemingly another being comparable to the Heavenly Dao.

At this moment, under the Void Piercing State of Mind, Li Hao's Heaven and Earth Immortal Body transformed into countless particles, permeating deep into the Heavenly Venerable's body. Under that close fit, he gained a clearer understanding of the Heaven and Earth Power.

He tried to Mastery the Heavenly Venerable's body, but made no move, as if another power, a more stable and vast power, was dominating this body.

A multitude of thoughts flashed through Li Hao's mind, and he suddenly had a more thorough understanding.

What is a realm? A realm is the place where a certain power is condensed.

And all All Things in Heaven and Earth are like this.

Mountains, rivers, rocks, and life are all composed of the condensation of many substances.

Condensing one's own Dao Source Immortal Seal is also a kind of power and realm. This Heavenly Venerable seems to be an existence similar to the Dao Source Immortal Seal.

"But who created this Terminal Realm...?"

Li Hao murmured to himself, "The person who has reached the final Heavenly Venerate Final Realm must be an extremely terrifying Immortal Emperor!"

His body withdrew from the Heavenly Venerable's shell and slowly condensed in the Void, forming a miniature Heavenly Venerable based on the Heavenly Venerable's shell.

" To Mastery all laws, to govern Myriad Daos, to transcend the laws of fate, to transcend the paths of heaven, and to transcend the Dao Realm —this is the Heavenly Venerable."

As this Terminal Realm was formed, Li Hao stood in the mountain spring at the summit, his whole body radiating light, as if he were standing in the present, or as if he were standing in the distant Past Future, unbound by time and Time and Space, and unaffected by the erosion of Myriad Daos.

"This is... the Heaven and Man Final Realm, Mastery all laws, impervious to Myriad Daos!"

At this moment, Li Hao has completed the Five Daos Terminal Realm!

In addition, he has mastered four other Terminal Realm: the Ultimate Power Circulation Final Realm, and Divine Blood.

The Heavenly Circuit Final Realm, the All Heavens Star Meridian.

The Spirit Roaming Final Realm, to the True God.

The Three Immortalities Final Realm is Eternal Immortality.

Among them, these Three Immortalities Final Realm were opened up by the Heavenly Dao Blood bestowed upon Li Hao by the Dao Source Immortal Emperor, giving Li Hao extraordinary life-saving abilities.

Once ten thousand drops of True God Blood have condensed, the True God will be fully formed, and Li Hao's survival and combat power will reach an extremely exaggerated level.

True God are indestructible and Eternal Immortality, possessing both physical and Divine Soul perfection.

Back in the Mortal World, Li Hao only borrowed a little bit of the power of Heavenly Venerable to suppress and kill several Saint Child under the Void Saint. Now that he has cultivated to the Heavenly Venerate Final Realm and can freely mobilize the power of Myriad Daos, he has come to realize how terrifying the Heavenly Venerate Final Realm truly is.

"Immune to Myriad Daos attacks... No matter what methods Immortal Lord Realm uses, they cannot harm me in the slightest."

"In the previous battle, that God King was Quasi-Emperor reincarnated, but he hadn't reached the Heavenly Venerate Final Realm. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to do anything to him!"

The power Mastery by the Immortal Lord Realm is still the Dao Realm and Immortal Method, but these are all exempt from harm to the Heavenly Venerable!

In addition to the Dao Realm and Immortal Method, the Immortal King Realm also possesses the power of World Domain.

However, the World Domain itself is also constructed from the Dao Realm and the Myriad Dao Laws. If the Dao Realm and the Myriad Dao Laws are removed, the pure power of the World Domain will be greatly reduced.

While the power of World Domain is strong, it still requires a primal driving force.

"With this Heavenly Venerable state, attacks from the Immortal King Realm, regardless of their level, can be reduced to 90%!"

Li Hao had a clear understanding that this Heavenly Venerate Final Realm was too terrifying. He was impervious to Myriad Daos and transcended the "Dao". No matter what power the Dao Realm possessed, it could not affect him.

The Heavenly Venerable merges with Heaven and Earth, yet transcends Heaven and Earth. To harm him, one must use the Domain Power a realm, or even a higher power of the Emperor Dao.

"Even Immortal King of the same realm, with their power reduced by 90%, cannot harm me in the slightest. Even Immortal King two or three realms higher, with their destructive power reduced by 90%, pose a very limited threat to me. Only high-level Immortal King Realm could possibly inflict damage on me!"

Li Hao Dark Dao to himself.

Although he is currently only at the First Level of Immortal King Realm, he is able to fight against high-level Immortal King Realm with his Heavenly Venerate Final Realm cultivation.

This Heavenly Venerate Final Realm is equivalent to giving oneself a shield with 90% immunity; it's practically cheating!

However, each Terminal Realm Power is extremely unique, almost to the point of being cheating. For example, the Immortal Power of the All Heavens Star Meridian is boundless; even if one person were to fight an entire army, they would not be exhausted, which is an exaggeration.

Not to mention the True God Realm, it was the God Blood Ultimate Realm, which was the weakest of the Terminal Realm. But even so, it allowed Li Hao, who had just entered the Dao Inquiry Realm, to withstand the pursuit of the Saint Realm and survive.

"Unexpectedly, the Void Piercing State of Mind actually allowed me to comprehend the Heavenly Venerate Final Realm, achieving a double breakthrough at once!"

Li Hao withdrew from his Heavenly Venerable state and returned to soak in the mountain spring, but couldn't help but smile.

Having experienced the Frontier clashes before, even he, who was usually ascetic, felt an urgent need for power.

In times of chaos, how can one live without a three-foot sword by one's side?

Now, he can be considered to have the strength to truly protect himself on this Border Battlefield.

"We should celebrate! Let's call Shi Miao over to eat Ancient Demon Meat!"

Li Hao quickly sent Communication to Shi Miao.

Shi Miao had been keeping Li Hao company on his floor, but something happened and she quietly left. Upon receiving Communication from Li Hao, she quickly arrived.

"What good news?"

Shi Miao flew to the mountain spring and saw Li Hao's smiling face. Her worries disappeared, and she asked with a smile.

"I've just comprehended the third World Heart!"

Li Hao laughed and said, "Moreover, by fortuitous opportunity coincidence, I also comprehended the Heavenly Venerate Final Realm!"

Li Hao didn't hide anything from Shi Miao, after all, she was someone who was willing to stand up for him in front of the Supreme Being.

Li Hao naturally had no secrets from her, since she was willing to risk her life for him.

"The third World Heart?"

Shi Miao was stunned for a moment, then shocked, "You said, you've comprehended the Heavenly Venerate Final Realm?!"

In her previous life, Quasi-Emperor Realm, only one step away from opening the Emperor Path. Wandering through the long River of Time, she knew all too well the power of the Heavenly Venerate Final Realm.

Throughout history, very few beings have been able to reach the Heavenly Venerate Final Realm; even many Quasi-Emperor Realm have failed to do so!

Once this realm is opened, attacks from the Dao Realm and Principle can be ignored; only other special powers can harm the user.

Moreover, mastering the Heavenly Venerate Final Realm will also bring about a qualitative leap in the speed of comprehending the Dao Realm, allowing cultivation to progress by leaps and bounds!

Even for her, in her previous life, it was only with great difficulty that she finally comprehended the Heavenly Venerate Final Realm, and only then did she have the opportunity to kneel and kowtow before the Heavenly Venerable in prayer.

Compared to Li Hao's comprehension of the third World Heart, opening up the Heavenly Venerate Final Realm was even more shocking and surprising to her. The difficulty was too great, even comparable to comprehending the Sovereign Domain!

Upon receiving Li Hao's nod of confirmation, Shi Miao overjoyed. She knew Li Hao wouldn't lie, which meant that Li Hao could fight freely on the Frontier. Especially considering the news she had received not long ago, which had made her extremely nervous, she even considered whether to take Li Hao away from here to avoid participating in this battle.

Although such behavior was despicable, and she had never avoided war in her past life, let alone in this one, she did not want to see anything happen to Li Hao.

"Your cultivation speed is too fast. It seems that it won't be long before you can even catch up with me."

Shi Miao said with delight.

Li Hao smiled, took out the Ancient Demon's flesh and blood from the Heaven and Earth Space, and started Cooking and grilling it.

This Ancient Demon Meat can significantly enhance the power of the Divine Soul. Apart from those close to him, Li Hao has no intention of revealing it to them, to avoid bringing disaster upon himself.

After all, the Myriad Races of All Heavens of the heavens are not a monolithic entity.

"You've condensed your third World Heart, so you've now found a way for all three World Heart to coexist?"

Shi Miao sat down to the side, her movements light and graceful, and said joyfully.

Li Hao shook his head. "Not yet. I need to try it out first. Right now, that World Heart... is kind of sealed."

"Sealed up?"

Shi Miao was surprised; the World Heart could be sealed? But seeing Li Hao's expression, she knew she had touched upon Li Hao secret, so she didn't press further, only saying, "Then you need to undergo more trials; this Emperor Path is far from simple!"

Li Hao nodded.

As the aroma of the Ancient Demon Meat wafted over, the two ate and chatted, and Shi Miao naturally brought up recent events in the city.

I have bad news for you.

"What?"

Li Hao was taken aback, and then his heart skipped a beat. For the news to be described as "bad" on the Border Battlefield, and by Shi Miao, it must be something serious.

"Dragon Seeing Pass has fallen."

Shi Miao said in a deep voice.

Li Hao's chewing mouth Time Stop, as if the Ancient Demon Meat in his mouth had suddenly lost its flavor.

His pupils contracted slightly, a booming sensation Dragon Seeing Pass had been breached?

That's the place guarded by Fifth Senior Brother Long Qingge, how could it have been breached?!

That was the First Defense Line in the Eastern Region, standing for countless Years. How could it have been breached so suddenly?!

While Li Hao was still in a daze, Shi Miao didn't catch her breath and quickly said, "But your Fifth Senior Brother is alright. He and the rest of the surviving troops have retreated to Ancestor Dragon City, the Second Defense Line. They sent Communication not long ago informing us to leave the Eastern Region. You were in Seclusion earlier, and I felt that you seemed to be at a crucial moment of enlightenment, so I didn't disturb you."

What happened?

Li Hao quickly regained his composure, his eyes extremely calm.

"I heard from your Fifth Senior Brother that the Ancient Demon Clan in the Eastern Region seems to have joined forces."

Shi Miao's face was filled with worry. "After the great war of that year, coupled with the internal strife among the Ancient Demon over the past 100,000 years, the Ancient Demon are now dominated by the ten royal families, each occupying different regions of the True Realm."

"The reason why the various regions of the True Realm have been able to maintain a degree of stability and development over the years is also due to the internal strife within the Ancient Demon Clan. In that great war, Master and several other Immortal Emperor joined forces to break down the Reincarnation Gate of the Ancient Demon Clan!"

"That is the core of the Ancient Demon Clan. Whoever controls the Reincarnation Gate is the leader of the Ancient Demon Clan."

"The shattering of the Reincarnation Gate caused the Ancient Demon Clan to disintegrate, but now it seems they have reunited. Although I knew this day would come sooner or later, I didn't expect it to come so soon. If we had waited another ten thousand years, until you opened up the Emperor Path and stepped into the highest realm, we could have faced it together..."

Shi Miao spoke softly and slowly.

Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Catastrophe, she faced and fought against the Ancient Demon alongside her Master.

Now, countless Years Past, and she had a premonition that the Ancient Demon Clan would unite sooner or later, and the great war of that year would be reignited.

After all, although the Ancient Demon Clan is in turmoil, it will never sit idly by and watch the Myriad Races of the True World continue to grow.

She had thought that once Li Hao had grown up, she would regain her peak cultivation from her previous life and once again face the Ancient Demon, ending the unfinished conflict from Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Catastrophe.

Unexpectedly, this conflict has come ahead of schedule, and both she and Li Hao are still at the Immortal King Realm, far from Perfection.

Immortal King Realm could indeed hold sway over a region, countless individuals perished in that great battle, and many were even forgotten.

"Ancient Demon Alliance?"

Li Hao was stunned. The Ancient Demon, who had been silent for countless Years, had actually joined forces. This was too sudden.

But he knew that these Ancient Demon might have already begun to gather, but he hadn't been cultivating for long enough to come into contact with them.

"So, that great battle from back then will soon return?"

Li Hao's heart sank. That was a great war that affected Myriad Races of the True World, causing widespread suffering and devastation. When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken; there is no safe haven.

"Currently, they shouldn't be fully united yet, otherwise it wouldn't just be Dragon Seeing Pass that has been breached."

Shi Miao shook her head and said, "But the Eastern Region will most likely become the first battlefield of this second war. Your Senior Brother suggested that we leave the Eastern Region first. This place is no longer suitable for trials. Let's go elsewhere first, and then come back to fight when we have made progress in our cultivation."

Can you wait?

Li Hao looked up and asked.

Shi Miao was taken aback, and his words froze.

The Ancient Demon War was extremely sudden, sweeping across all regions of the True Realm in an instant, catching Myriad Races of the True World off guard.

Although the Great Emperor took action, using the Emperor Path to teleport soldiers from various races to the battlefield and quickly set up defenses and counterattacks, the terrifying strength of the Ancient Demon Clan caused many battlefields to collapse rapidly.

Countless people perished in that catastrophe. Even when all races finally realized the impending annihilation and launched a final united defense, they were still unable to completely withstand it.

Only after the sacrifice of several Immortal Emperor was the Ancient Demon barely held back, resulting in a stalemate that lasted for 100,000 years.

"Does Master know about this?"

Li Hao suddenly asked.

Shi Miao nodded. "They most likely know, but what arrangements they will make is unknown."

Li Hao nodded silently, without saying a word. The joy he had felt earlier from his breakthrough in cultivation had vanished completely.

Seeing that Li Hao didn't speak, Shi Miao knew that Li Hao needed some time to process this.

Should they stay and fight on, or should they consider the bigger picture and leave, bearing the humiliation and hardship?

After all, this is a critical moment for the Eastern Region. Long Qingge is fighting on the front lines, yet Li Hao is abandoning the Eastern Region and fleeing elsewhere...

She sighed inwardly, said nothing, and did not affect Li Hao. After finishing the Ancient Demon's flesh and blood, she left silently.

Li Hao sat alone on the summit, remaining silent for a long time.
