Arc 23The Emperor Platform Crisis
Li Hao revealed his mastery of the Nine Orders, defeated Sword Heart, and rejected the Heavenly Palace Supreme’s offer rather than abandon his Master’s legacy. After Jin Fengling and his allies attacked him, Li Hao killed them but became caught in a clash between powerful clans, where Di Linchen intervened and a Quasi-Emperor Scion challenged him to survive one palm strike.
- Yue Xi defeated Qin Xiangyu, and Li Hao advanced through the tournament by defeating Zhan Yuchen, Gui Lingyue, and Shen Wuji.
- The Heavenly Palace Supreme questioned Li Hao about his origins and his connection to Tian Yang, then demanded that he abandon his inherited Immortal Arts and offered him a trial to become a Personal Disciple.
- Li Hao refused to forsake his Master and endured Sword Heart’s challenge, defeating him with the Five Absolutes Emperor Sword before leaving the competition.
- Mingyue blocked Li Hao’s departure, but he withdrew from the tournament and agreed to duel her a hundred years later.
- Jin Fengling confronted Li Hao with the support of the Wind Spirit Race, while the Great Dream Clan arrived to defend him.
- Li Hao killed Jin Fengling, then used the Mystic Eagle God-Shattering Bow to kill Zuo Zhangdao and the white-haired young man, but the Wind Spirit Race and Hidden Sea Clan turned on him.
- Old Wang rescued Li Hao and confronted the Heavenly Palace Supreme over Lord Heavenly Calamity, while the Great Dream Clan helped him escape the attackers.
- Di Linchen halted the fighting and claimed Li Hao as a friend of the Emperor Clan, but a Quasi-Emperor Scion challenged Li Hao to survive one palm strike.
