This decisive battle was too rushed, resulting in Wang Hao's cultivation not reaching its theoretical peak. He only barely stepped into the Half-Step Heavenly Dao Realm, which is far inferior to Heavenly Mandate's current cultivation, which is only a little short of reaching the Heavenly Dao Realm.
Even with the aid of three Heavenly Dao Realm divine abilities, he could only manage a draw against Heavenly Mandate.
This is only temporary. Heavenly Mandate, with its profound foundation, can continue fighting indefinitely, but I cannot. Therefore, delaying tactics can be used for a while, but they cannot be used indefinitely; they have a time limit.
"Hopefully, I can hold on until I complete the advancement in the Tomb of the Gods World; otherwise, I'll have no choice but to run away."
While pondering his next move, Wang Hao continued to unleash three Heavenly Dao-level divine abilities in turn: the Heavenly Emperor Fist, the Human King Seal, and the Reincarnation Leg Instruction.
He naturally wouldn't really fight against Heavenly Mandate to the bitter end. If things became unavoidable, he would use the system's Transmigration Function to return to the Primordial Main World.
Now it all depends on whether I can hold out until I reach the Tomb of the Gods World and complete my advancement.
"Uncle, you don't actually need to wait until the Tomb of the Gods World completes its advancement. This Heavenly Mandate is different from the Heavenly Mandate of other worlds; it has already completely merged with the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao itself has severed its connection with the world. It can no longer use the power of the world to resurrect infinitely."
At this moment, Xiao Mengmeng suddenly spoke up to remind him, clearly not wanting Wang Hao to really prolong the battle, as that would inevitably weaken Wang Hao and diminish his chances of winning.
Why didn't you say so sooner!
Wang Hao was furious. Had he known this earlier, he wouldn't have been so pessimistic.
"You didn't ask!"
Xiao Mengmeng muttered something, then fell silent again.
"Since you've run out of resurrection coins, then show your health bar!"
With a cold laugh, Wang Hao changed his battle plan, but did not immediately launch an attack.
Even if he were to unleash his full power at this stage, it would be difficult to completely eliminate Heavenly Mandate, as he still lacks a decisive and lethal technique.
This ultimate killing technique is embodied in Heavenly Mandate himself. If one can fully comprehend it, then his ultimate killing technique will naturally emerge.
The current state of Heavenly Mandate is a perfect fusion of three forces: Chen Nan's body represents the Power of All Living Beings, the Heavenly Dao itself represents the Power of Reincarnation, and Heavenly Mandate itself represents the Power of Fate.
He happens to possess all three of these powers now, only lacking the final step of merging them.
The Human King Seal is a manifestation of the Power of All Living Beings, the Reincarnation Leg Instruction represents the Power of Reincarnation, and the final Heavenly Emperor Fist was created specifically to counter Heavenly Mandate, and is also Power of Fate.
Furthermore, by leveraging the system's Dao Comprehension Function, the Great God elevate their comprehension to the Peak Heavenly Dao Realm, pushing the essence of their supernatural powers to the Heavenly Dao Realm level, which is in no way inferior to the accumulation of countless years of Heavenly Mandate.
Therefore, if the three elements are combined and then unleashed with full force, it is theoretically possible to kill Heavenly Mandate.
Heavenly Mandate was unaware that Wang Hao possessed the Dao Comprehension Function, which allowed him to elevate his comprehension to the Heavenly Dao Realm and thus reveal his greatest secrets. Therefore, Wang Hao was completely unprepared in this regard, allowing Wang Hao to unknowingly and continuously probe and comprehend the secrets of the Three Elements Fusion.
"Now! Shrouding the Heavens Finger!"
The moment he grasped the secret of the unity of the three elements, Wang Hao did not hesitate at all. He directly burned all of his own power, fusing the Heavenly Emperor Fist, the Reincarnation Leg Instruction, and the Human King Seal— three Heavenly Dao-level divine abilities—and pointed out with a single finger.
Shrouding the Heavens fingerprint appeared, pressing down on Heavenly Mandate. Heavenly Mandate was initially shocked, but then a smile appeared on his lips.
Seeing the smile on Heavenly Mandate's face, Wang Hao felt a chill and realized something was wrong. However, since things had come to this point, he had no choice but to go all the way.
At the same time, he was very confident in his Shrouding the Heavens Finger, which combined the power of three Heavenly Dao-level divine abilities and was enough to obliterate the Heavenly Mandate, who had not yet truly reached the Heavenly Dao Realm.
And after losing the ability to resurrect infinitely, it becomes even less worth mentioning.
However, Wang Hao still miscalculated.
The nine Azure Heaven people who had been taken away by Heavenly Mandate suddenly appeared in front of Heavenly Mandate and formed the Nine Heavens Absolute Formation to meet the suppressing Shrouding the Heavens Finger.
Most importantly, Heavenly Mandate, through some unknown means, managed to shift Wang Hao's focus from him to the Nine Azure Heaven People.
Although only a small portion was relocated, it gave them a glimmer of hope.
With a flick of his wrist, Heavenly Mandate moved half of his body out of the range of the Shrouding the Heavens Finger's attack, hiding in the River of Time within the Tomb of the Gods World.
In Wang Hao's disappointed gaze, the surrounding Chaos space was crushed by the power of the Shrouding the Heavens Finger, and seven of the nine Azure Heaven people were instantly annihilated, leaving only the strongest Azure Heaven and Cang Tian to escape with their remnant souls.
This wasn't because the two were exceptionally strong, but because they weren't at the core of the Shrouding the Heavens Finger's attack; they were merely swept by the aftershocks, barely managing to escape with their lives.
Die!
Having barely regained his form, Heavenly Mandate disregarded his own weakness and stepped out along the River of Time. The Great Millstone of Destroying the World pressed down, crushing Wang Hao's body.
Wang Hao's mangled body transformed into countless fragments of flesh and blood, scattering into the River of Time beneath Heavenly Mandate's feet, while the last bit of his essence was snatched away by Heavenly Mandate.
Unlike Wang Hao, who cultivated three thousand Innate Great Dao of Chaos, Heavenly Mandate only specialized in the Great Dao of Fate, which was also mastered by the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Wilderness. He also incidentally cultivated the Great Dao of Time.
With the protection of the two supreme Great Dao of Destiny and Time, Heavenly Mandate can foresee its own fatal crises in advance. Although it can only vaguely see a little bit of the scene for other experts of the same level, it is enough.
When Wang Hao was about to kill the Nine Azure Heaven in the Nine Heavens World, Heavenly Mandate foresaw the scene of Wang Hao's fatal attack on him, which is why he rescued the Nine Azure Heaven, in order to use external forces to give himself a chance to survive.
Although Wang Hao's Shrouding the Heavens Finger is extremely powerful Invincible, it is not impossible to escape if one is prepared in advance.
After paying a heavy price, he finally broke free and won the final victory in this battle.
However, just as Heavenly Mandate had its calculations, so did Wang Hao, especially after witnessing Heavenly Mandate summon the River of Time of the Tomb of the Gods World, which immediately sparked a crazy plan.
After being outmaneuvered by Heavenly Mandate, he had already lost the initiative. Under Heavenly Mandate's watchful eye, even if he activated the system's Transmigration Function, he couldn't escape. Instead, it would expose the existence of the system and Xiao Mengmeng, leaving him with absolutely no chance of survival.
Therefore, he cannot rashly use the system's power; he must continue this battle until he achieves final victory.
Even if it fails, it can temporarily gain a powerful force, giving it a chance to escape successfully.
Having finally killed Wang Hao, a formidable enemy, the victorious Heavenly Mandate couldn't wait to refine the bit of essence he had obtained.
Although he only obtained this small amount of the original essence, with his abilities, he was certainly able to nurture and strengthen it, and then devour it, which would surely allow him to break through the final shackles.
As for the remnant souls of Azure Heaven and Cang Tian, after glancing at the Chaos storm around them caused by the Shrouding the Heavens Finger, they hesitated for a moment before finally returning to Heavenly Mandate's side, who was closing his eyes to refine and nurture Wang Hao's origin, appearing as loyal protectors while silently recovering themselves.
There was no other way; the surrounding spatial storms were simply too terrifying. Even in their prime, they might not have been able to withstand them, let alone now that they were just remnants of their souls. If they were to get caught in it, they would surely die.
Therefore, they could only temporarily hide by the side of their master, Heavenly Mandate. As for the fact that their master had ruthlessly used them as shields, they had long since selectively forgotten it.
While Heavenly Mandate was absorbing Chaos Qi to recover itself and refining and nurturing Wang Hao's origin, the Tomb of the Gods World on the other side was also developing rapidly and intensely, not daring to relax in the slightest.
The Heavenly Dao is simply too powerful. Although the new Body Refinement created by Wang Hao is powerful, it requires an extremely long time to cultivate, and it is difficult to find a shortcut to rapid improvement.
In fact, the original Body Refinement of the Tomb of the Gods World had already gone astray. Think about it, in the Tomb of the Gods World, those with good aptitude could cultivate to the Heaven Tier in a few hundred or a thousand years, and the Heaven Tier corresponds to the Great Firmament Realm.
In the Primordial Main World, which of those who achieved the Great Luo didn't cultivate for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years? Only through long-term cultivation can one solidify their foundation and reach the ultimate level in each realm.
While the original Body Refinement of the Tomb of the Gods World was swift, it inevitably left hidden dangers. Furthermore, the Heaven Realm level lacked a minor realm, resulting in an incomplete foundation and thus an inability to condense the Grand Unity Dao Fruit, the Daluo Dao Fruit, or even the Hunyuan Dao Fruit.
With each layer of weakening, the strong in the Divine Wood World become far inferior to those of the same level in the Primordial Main World.
That's why Wang Hao was able to fight opponents of higher levels one after another.
Therefore, you can't rush things; if you want to achieve the Great Dao, you must cultivate step by step and not be careless.
Fortunately, before leaving, Wang Hao activated the Chaos Heavenly Cycle Star Grand Array of the Heaven Realm, increasing the flow rate ten thousand times and buying the Tomb of the Gods World a hundred million years.
With a hundred million years to cultivate, Nangong Xian'er and others, who were given special care by Wang Hao, have all raised their cultivation to the Heaven-Defying King Level, which is already the limit of the Tomb of the Gods World at this stage.
That's right, the true limit of the Tomb of the Gods World is the Heaven-Defying Tier Peak. As for the so-called Half-Step Heavenly Dao Realm, it doesn't actually exist. It's just a temporary realm created by Wang Hao, Heavenly Mandate, and the Heavenly Dao because they are too special.
Besides Nangong Xian'er and others, there were also many others who reached the Heaven-Defying Tier King Level, such as the Archaic Gods like Dugu Baitian who were hidden in the shadows.
However, unlike Nangong Xian'er and others who started cultivating from scratch, they were resurrected, not reincarnated. No matter how much they tried to improve their foundation, they were still inferior to Nangong Xian'er and the others.
Simply put, no matter how much you mend and patch a torn piece of clothing, it can never compare to a new one.
That's why Dugu Baitian and the others were suppressed by Nangong Xian'er and dared not show their faces, and could only hide in the shadows looking for an opportunity.
"Boom..."
A series of terrifying sounds suddenly came from Nine Heavens, which had been calm for hundreds of millions of years, as if the sky was about to collapse. If it weren't for the protection of the Chaos Heavenly Cycle Star Grand Array, the entire Three Realms would probably have been destroyed.
Even so, it still shook the Three Realms. In the Human Realm, volcanic eruptions and other Destroying the World Scourge continued to occur, and in the Nether Earth Realm, Kikoku and gods howled. The aura of Great Destruction Destroying the World the entire Three Realms, and at the same time, two terrifying forces swept down, even forcing powerful experts at the Heaven-Defying Tier King Level to their knees.
"It's them! I knew that damn blockhead wasn't dead yet!"
Sensing that familiar aura, Nangong Xian'er and the other women wept with joy, for it was none other than the aura that Wang Hao had revealed.
As for the other aura, they were also familiar with it; it was the aura of the Old Heavenly Dao.
That's right, it's the Old Heavenly Dao. Because a new Heavenly Dao has been nurtured in the Three Realms, the original Heavenly Dao is called the Old Heavenly Dao.
The aura of Wang Hao from tens of millions of years ago suddenly disappeared, and the aura of the Heavenly Dao was also obscure and unpredictable. They vaguely guessed that the final battle would likely result in Wang Hao's demise and the Heavenly Dao being injured.
Although they knew this would likely be the outcome, they were still devastated and frantically cultivated, constantly trying to break through the Chaos Heavenly Cycle Star Grand Array in the Heaven Realm.
This great formation protected them, but it also restricted them, preventing them from entering the Heaven Realm, let alone rushing Nine Heavens to support Wang Hao.
They were about to despair when, after tens of millions of years, they finally sensed that man's presence again.
Before Nangong Xian'er and the others could rejoice for long, Wang Hao's aura suddenly vanished again, and then a much weaker Heavenly Dao aura appeared beyond the Nine Heavens.
At the same time, a broken Bone Claw, grasping a piece of purple Inner World, burst out from the Void and landed in the Golden Palace. The Bone Claw exuded an aura unique to Wang Hao.
