But Tongtian was still free—if they could keep him safe, wouldn't that mean losing a little less?
Wasn't that still far better than both of them being captured?
Watching Laozi flee at full speed, Li Hao smiled and took out the Jade Slip, wanting to examine its contents closely.
What if he was naturally gifted and understood it at a glance?
One more Divine Power meant one more way to deal with enemies.
Picture this: charging into a crowd, unleashing lightning techniques at full power.
Indiscriminate attacks, like a self-destructing tank—how satisfying would that be?
But the moment he looked closely, Li Hao was startled.
Because the first sixty percent or so of this skill-transferring Jade Slip had no issues at all, but the remaining nearly forty percent was complete nonsense.
If he rashly practiced it, the mildest outcome would be crippling himself, and the worst could trigger an attack of Chaos Divine Thunder.
Don't ask how he knew—the answer was that he was exceptionally clever and figured it out on his own.
Mm... In truth, Li Hao had no idea and didn't notice anything different.
The reason he knew all this was thanks to the system.
When he saw the remaining forty percent, the system's uniquely cold, mechanical voice rang out.
[Ding! Host has acquired the tampered Three Pure Immortal Light and Three Pure Divine Thunder techniques.]
[Remember: do not rashly practice them. Mild case: madness. Severe case: attracting the attention of Chaos Divine Thunder, which will descend heavenly punishment!]
With this message appearing, how could Li Hao not be shocked?
He was utterly stunned, to say the least!
Along with the shock came some disappointment.
After all that effort, he'd gotten nothing for it.
That old bastard Laozi had completely wasted his acting skills.
And he even dared to scheme against him?
Fine! Just fine!
Just wait and see if I don't screw you over!
Li Hao was furious, but soon his anger turned to joy.
Because the system prompt sounded again.
[Ding! Detected that the host possesses one million Points...]
[Host, would you like to use one hundred thousand Points to complete the Divine Powers?]
[After completion, the Divine Powers can be practiced normally—non-toxic, harmless, and pollution-free. Please feel free to consume.]
Hearing this, Li Hao froze for a moment, then nearly jumped for joy.
He'd always thought Points were useless, but it turned out this was the right way to use them!
After discovering the correct use of Points, Li Hao visibly felt a pang of regret.
Points were incredibly useful—you could say they had no flaws except for being a bit expensive.
That statement was spot on.
Completing two Divine Powers cost one hundred thousand Points—that was a full one hundred thousand years of day-and-night... ahem, continuous check-ins.
One hundred thousand Points, and he only got one per day!
Sure, time had no meaning in the Primordial Era, and it wasn't worth much.
But the consumption was still way too high.
Li Hao sighed. It was too late to say anything now—the Points were already spent. No use feeling regret; he'd better focus on the present.
He picked up the Jade Slip and looked again. This time, the content was completely different from before.
Even the names had changed. The Three Pure Immortal Light and Three Pure Divine Thunder had become All Heavens Immortal Light and All Heavens Divine Thunder.
Seeing these two names, Li Hao trembled with excitement all over!
"Holy shit! That's insane!"
Chapter 20: Third Brother! That Old Man Is Holding My Clan's Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Seven Treasures Pagoda
Li Hao couldn't help but be excited—this was the All Heavens series!
After all, "All Heavens" originally meant the myriad heavens, the five directions and five heavens, and also carried the meaning of the Zhou Tian (all-encompassing heavens).
Looking across the entire Primordial Era, anything that dared to be called All Heavens or Zhou Tian—
Or anything that even touched on those two words—was never simple.
Whether it was the Twelve All Heavens God-Fiend Array, the All Heavens Divine Thunder, or even the Zhou Tian Star Dou Array—
Each and every one was overwhelmingly powerful!
Setting aside those two ancient great calamity arrays, let's just talk about this All Heavens Divine Thunder.
It was originally a thunder technique mastered by Pangu, known as the "Heaven-Punishing Thunder."
By the Primordial Era, its power was more than a match for the "Sky-Opening Qi Blade" unleashed by the Pangu Banner.
This was a top-tier Divine Power that few below the level of a Saint could rival.
Seeing this, Li Hao's face immediately broke into a grin, and he no longer felt any regret.
Only one thought remained in his mind.
That was—worth it!
It was simply too damn worth it!
With just this All Heavens Divine Thunder, those ten thousand Points had already paid for themselves.
And that wasn't even counting the All Heavens Immortal Light, which he had never seen or even heard of in the original timeline.
In short, this round wasn't a loss—it was a gain.
Li Hao, feeling pleased, handed the Jade Slip to Houtu beside him, whose face was etched with worry.
He understood that this Eldest Sister was just too tense; seeing his expression change, she must have been concerned again.
He patted Houtu's hand and said cheerfully, "Elder Sister, take a good look at this Divine Power and learn it in advance!"
Houtu nodded, took the Jade Slip, and glanced at it.
At first, she was disdainful of learning it—after all, these Three Pure Ones couldn't even break her little brother's physical defense.
So why bother learning their Divine Powers?
Who would choose to learn from someone weaker than themselves?
But since her little brother had spoken, she would learn it. As long as he was satisfied, she was happy.
It must be said that Houtu was already showing signs of becoming a brother-obsessed enabler, or rather, a brother-con.
That was her thought, but as soon as she looked at the Jade Slip, she realized—this wasn't the Three Pure Ones' Divine Power at all. It was clearly called the All Heavens Divine Thunder and Immortal Light.
She immediately understood why her little brother had told her to learn it.
He had already modified it perfectly.
Her little brother really was the best!
Houtu looked at Li Hao, her eyes sparkling with brilliance, her face full of pride and admiration.
Now, as for the battle between Zhu Rong and Tongtian.
Calling it a battle was no longer appropriate; it should be said that Zhu Rong was subjecting Tongtian to a brutal, one-sided beating.
At this moment, Tongtian's robes were disheveled, his face and body covered in scorched black marks.
His hair was a tangled mess, many parts singed and curled up.
Zhu Rong looked completely at ease, as if he would have casually stuffed his hands in his pockets if his pants had any.
Meanwhile, Tongtian dodged left and right like a small boat in a storm, occasionally taking a hit.
In short, it was utterly miserable—there was no end to the suffering.
When Laozi returned, Zhu Rong, who had been playing a cat-and-mouse game, immediately dropped his playful attitude and became serious.
Facing a serious Zhu Rong, Tongtian's resistance grew weaker and weaker, almost to the point of a complete rout—he could only take hits, unable to counter or even dodge.
Laozi naturally saw this scene and knew in his heart that the opponent was about to capture his third brother.
He watched with urgency burning in his heart.
But what could he do?
True, he could unleash the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda to protect Tongtian.
But at this distance, it was absolutely impossible.
So he could only push his own mana to the limit, increasing his speed.
Just as Zhu Rong was about to deliver a decisive blow, Laozi finally reached the effective range.
Seeing Zhu Rong's attack descend, Laozi shouted.
"How dare you!"
At the same time, he unleashed his Magic Treasure.
A small pagoda, one foot tall and suffused with Mysterious Yellow Qi, shot out, growing as it caught the wind.
In an instant, it became a colossal pagoda ten thousand zhang tall, directly shielding Tongtian.
Laozi's speed was not slow, and his Magic Treasure was deployed just as swiftly.
But Zhu Rong was no slouch either—if he, striking from close range, let his opponent's late move arrive first, then how could he still hold his head high?
