Ji Hao's expression turned somewhat grave. Though he had anticipated it, seeing the young Great Emperors descend still made his blood boil!
"Ha!"
[As I write this, I hope readers will remember our domain name.]
Every pore on Ji Hao's body opened, releasing tens of thousands of rays of light. His skin glowed as he drew in the essence of heaven and earth, his flesh, organs, and bones all breathing.
Divine power shattered layer after layer of thunderclouds. Points of light lit up across his lower abdomen—the gates of potential had been opened to their limit.
His Dao Palace seemed to truly transform into heaven and earth, its five deities becoming the five Heavenly Emperors, guarding the wilderness.
His limbs stretched out, communicating with heaven and earth. He nearly merged with the Dao itself, while Emperor Blood boiled within him, transforming into streams of crimson divine radiance.
His vital energy and blood resembled a true dragon, and dragon roars sounded continuously from his spine, as though he were about to break into the Dragon Transformation Realm. His accumulation was simply too profound.
Even merely comprehending fragments of the Eastern Emperor Bell and Haotian Mirror was an unimaginable great opportunity, even for a Great Emperor. Then there was the insight into the laws of heaven and earth he had gained while condensing his Heavenly Eye.
Yet Ji Hao still suppressed it.
His essence, energy, and spirit continuously sublimated. Soon, Ji Hao touched upon a barrier he could not break through. He knew it was the legendary barrier of the Divine Forbidden.
After his physique had sublimated, he easily reached the limit of the Eight Forbidden. But entering the Divine Forbidden was not so simple.
"Only battle!" Ji Hao's eyes blazed. He strode like a dragon and tiger, like a young Immortal King sweeping aside everything. Stars shifted, and even the sun and moon had to reverse for him.
He raised his hand and unleashed the Void Great Handprint.
The pitch-black handprint covered the heavens, shattering space layer by layer. Its power was evident.
Taihuang strode like a dragon and tiger, Imperial Dragon Aura coiling around him. He resembled both a true dragon and a divine sword.
The next moment, Taihuang swung his sword. Space trembled slightly as the Primordial Emperor Sword slashed through the air toward the Void Great Handprint. Ancient and majestic, the Imperial Dragon Aura upon the blade was sharp and dazzling. Its sword light was like a long river, severing space along with the handprint.
Ji Hao's gaze sharpened. From one eye shot azure spatial power, freezing everything before him, including Taihuang.
Taking advantage of the opening, he sent the Dragon-Pattern Black Gold Sword and the sword embryo into the Saint Spirit Furnace for refinement.
Suddenly, a slender jade hand appeared behind Ji Hao without anyone knowing when.
Clang!
The jade hand collided with the Yin-Yang Life-and-Death Diagram, releasing ripples.
Blazing divine fire transformed into a fire phoenix and lunged at Ji Hao. Unwilling to be outdone, Ji Hao struck out with a stream of Innate Grand Void Astral Qi.
Firelight and spatial ripples erupted at the same time, twisting everything around them. Yet one foot stepped upon the ripples and directly smoothed them out.
It was Hengyu Great Emperor!
At the same time, Taihuang shattered the spatial confinement, and the Imperial Dragon Aura around him surged straight into the sky.
The emerald Western Empress Pagoda, crimson Hengyu Furnace, and the Primordial Emperor Sword transformed into a true dragon all charged at Ji Hao together!
"Come at me!" Ji Hao shouted.
His right hand formed a fist seal and unleashed the Hengyu Fist to meet the Hengyu Furnace. His left hand traced a profound pattern and used the Heaven-Cutting Finger to block the Western Empress Pagoda.
The power of time burst forth from his left eye and struck the true dragon formed from the Primordial Emperor Sword, directly reversing time and returning it to Taihuang's hand.
The Hengyu Furnace and Western Empress Pagoda were sent flying back, while Ji Hao's body merely swayed slightly.
The spatial power in Ji Hao's right eye was azure, while the power of time in his left eye was silver-white. This had nearly surpassed the scope of the Martial Dao Heavenly Eyes; it was more like an innate divine ability such as Double Pupils or a Supreme Bone.
As for the Heavenly Eye between his brows, it was an embodiment of the characteristics of the Other Shore.
Daoist Celestial Worthy truly was generous. With a single move, he had bestowed a characteristic of the Other Shore, and across the boundless Chaos Sea at that.
Though Ji Hao could not understand how Daoist Celestial Worthy had crossed the boundless Chaos Sea to help him cultivate the Heavenly Eye, it did not hinder his reverence for Daoist Celestial Worthy.
The strength of the most ancient one was likely enough to rival the Sacrificial Dao level, and he was definitely not some inferior Sacrificial Dao like the Strange Progenitors.
He could stand on par with a Heavenly Emperor.
Their fists met, and scorching flames ignited and burned away the clothes on Ji Hao's right arm, revealing the toned muscles and defined lines beneath.
The flames transformed into a fire phoenix, identical to Hengyu Great Emperor's earlier attack. It was a killing secret art recorded in the Hengyu Scripture!
Though Hengyu Great Emperor's expression was dull, his reaction was extremely swift. He likewise unleashed a fire phoenix.
The two collided.
With the point of collision as its center, visible red ripples spread outward, destroying everything before them.
A huge blast rang out as the ripples spread. At that moment, Taihuang wore a crown and held the Primordial Emperor Sword, striding forward with Imperial Dragon Aura wrapped around him, his movements broad and unrestrained.
Boundless divine light burst forth. True dragons shook the vast heavens, and the Primordial Emperor Sword revealed its sharp edge. For a time, all between heaven and earth was filled with slaughter, wisps of killing intent winding about and astonishing the world.
The Western Empress Pagoda bloomed with boundless holy light, strands of divine power descending to shatter space. A majestic woman hurled it forth. Though the small pagoda was not large, it possessed the power to crush the heavens.
Seeing the three young Great Emperors charging toward him—
The fighting spirit in his heart boiled over, and he roared, "Sword, come!"
From the Saint Spirit Furnace, a black beam shot into the sky. The palm-sized Dragon-Pattern Black Gold Sword carried the force to tear apart the heavens as it charged toward the Primordial Emperor Sword!
The Tai Chi Diagram transformed into the Other Shore Golden Bridge and met the Western Empress Pagoda with the power to suppress the myriad worlds. All the spatial fractures created by the Western Empress Pagoda were suppressed along the way.
The Saint Spirit Furnace was thrown out and transformed into a blazing sun, confronting the Hengyu Furnace.
Divine power surged within Ji Hao. His limbs stretched out, mobilizing the power of heaven and earth. His battle intent soared to the skies. Like a war god, he was unstoppable as he took the initiative to charge at the three young Great Emperors!
He silently circulated the Battle Saint Method, and his entire body shone with dazzling divine light.
Taihuang formed a sword with one hand, and streak after streak of world-shocking sword light burst forth, filling the sky and nearly tearing apart the great universe.
Ji Hao used the Battle Saint Method to imitate the Imperial Dragon Aura, likewise unleashing streams of sword qi.
That was not all. Around him, one Nine-Leaf Sword Grass after another appeared. They were extremely unstable and illusory. He was using the Battle Saint Method to simulate the Grass-Character Sword Art. Though it was merely an imitation, the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass still erupted with heaven-shaking sword radiance. Sword qi arced like rainbows, forming a vast expanse of white light around him.
Hengyu Great Emperor formed a fist seal. Every step he took seemed to land upon the great Dao of heaven and earth, and his towering divine power shattered space.
Boom!
Ji Hao formed another seal with his other hand, and an ancient divine mountain appeared, like a pillar holding up the heavens, smashing directly into it.
Divine power surged like raging waves. All kinds of secret arts and profound techniques erupted in an instant, and this place became an ocean of divine power.
Roar!
Ji Hao roared and advanced step by step toward the heavenly tribulation, unstoppable. Every drop of blood in his body boiled at this moment. His vital energy and blood were like beacon smoke stretching thousands of miles, while points of light glowed across his body—the gates of potential. Like a heavenly god, he was terrifying beyond measure, overwhelmingly powerful!
The powers of time and space in his eyes nearly merged together, faintly about to open the Heavenly Eye on his forehead.
He was almost about to break through that layer of confinement. Raising his hand in a grasping motion, chains of order emerged. Visions appeared: the sun and moon reversed, the power of time danced, and a river without beginning or end seemed to surge forth.
