The Archaic Gods really want to find and kill Dugu Baitian.
Back then, Dugu Baitian claimed that he had seen the Heavenly Dao above the Nine Heavens during the Ancient War, and confidently asserted that the Heavenly Dao's power was still within an acceptable range, and that it was in a severely injured state, giving them a considerable chance of victory.
But now look at the strength that guy in the video is displaying—which aspect of it is acceptable to them?
How could he be in a state of serious injury?
Even that monstrous, freakish genius was killed by the Heavenly Dao once, so you're telling us where our chances of winning lie?
This guy really believed your nonsense!
If we let this bastard trick us into going to the Nine Heavens to fight, we're just throwing our lives away.
Laozi trusted you so much, and you deceived us like this? You're truly a scoundrel!
Even the Demon Lord, who was his best friend, cast a strange glance at Dugu Baitian. Although he trusted his good friend of many years, the facts were right in front of him, leaving him no choice but to have doubts.
The terrifying power displayed by the Heavenly Dao in the image, even if it was just a memory Projection, still terrified him. Those various supernatural abilities were simply beyond their ability to resist.
No, to be precise, it's beyond their imagination; how can they possibly fight ghosts like this!
Furthermore, is there some hidden reason behind the Heavenly Chen Nan's form?
At this point, even the Demon Lord had to consider whether his good buddies had already been secretly bribed by the Heavenly Dao and were deliberately tricking them into their deaths.
Noticing the suspicious gaze of his best friend, the Demon Lord, Dugu Baitian's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and he felt incredibly wronged.
Heaven have mercy, he was truly committed to the great cause of overthrowing the heavens. During the ancient war, when he ascended to the Nine Heavens, he saw that the Heavenly Dao was merely a large ball of light, and it seemed to be severely injured. It was because he knew this information that he devised the plan to overthrow the heavens.
But to everyone's surprise, this time the Heavenly Dao manifested in human form, and even used the image of his own son's reincarnation. He was completely bewildered and couldn't understand what was going on.
"A very good technique, but what can you do about it?"
The Heavenly Dao in the Projection regained its senses and its previous composure reappeared, clearly not taking the three thousand Freedom Clone summoned by Wang Hao seriously at all.
The fact that three thousand clones, each at the Heaven-Defying Tier King Level, are indeed very strong, and these clones seem to have a foundation that is more than ten times greater than that of ordinary Heaven-Defying Tier King Level experts, is already quite astonishing.
If he hadn't broken through to the Heavenly Dao Realm, it would indeed have been very troublesome, and he might even have perished. But now that he has broken through to the true Heavenly Dao Realm, and with the four divine abilities he obtained from the opponent's origin, especially the final move, the Shrouding the Heavens Finger, his strength has increased many times over compared to before.
Even if that kid merges those three thousand Freedom Clone into his body, he won't be afraid!
He knew that while the three thousand Freedom Clone were good, they were still insufficient to elevate him to the Heavenly Dao Realm.
This level cannot be broken through simply by accumulating quantity; otherwise, one would have already achieved it through countless years of accumulation, so why would one need to calculate so much?
Wang Hao remained silent, silently merging his three thousand Freedom Clone into his body. His aura surged rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, he rose from barely stepping into the Half-Step Heavenly Dao Realm to the peak of the Half-Step Heavenly Dao Realm. Unfortunately, he was still a Sisi's breadth short of completing the final breakthrough.
However, he had anticipated this, and decisively burned everything within himself—his body, soul, Inner World, and even his true spirit—forcibly compressing all his power into his right index finger.
He was well aware of how difficult it was to break through to the Heavenly Dao Realm. The Tomb of Gods Heavenly Mandate had schemed for countless years before finally succeeding by chance, while he had only cultivated for a few years.
Even if He Transforms Freedom Great Technique, which is arguably cheating, it would still be difficult to bridge this gap.
Since the normal channels are blocked, the only option left is to take an unorthodox approach.
An aura of equal caliber to that of Heavenly Mandate manifested, and by burning everything within himself in a state of ultimate sublimation, Wang Hao finally broke through to the Heavenly Dao Realm.
Although it can only be maintained temporarily, once the power gained from the internal burning dissipates, this body will be completely finished. However, this little bit of time is enough.
"You're insane! You're a madman!"
The composure on Heavenly Mandate's face suddenly froze, then twisted rapidly, almost causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood in anger.
He never expected Wang Hao to be so crazy, going all out right from the start without any warning.
This was truly risking one's life; the very essence of body and soul had been burned away, making resurrection impossible as before.
Feeling that fatal tremor, even Heavenly Mandate wanted to cry.
Brother, is it really necessary to go this far?
"You think you can kill me so easily? Not so easy!"
Seeing Wang Hao's power growing increasingly terrifying, Heavenly Mandate naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait for his doom. He directly pointed out a finger, which transformed into a Shrouding the Heavens Finger that blasted towards Wang Hao.
This was the strongest divine ability, the Heaven -Shrouding the Heavens Finger, that he had learned from Wang Hao's original source. He had personally experienced the power of this divine ability.
Back then, Wang Hao almost killed him with his power, but now, with his Heavenly Dao Realm cultivation, the power has increased countless times.
With this supreme divine power, what can that brat do even if he fights desperately?
"Oh no, that's Pops's Shrouding the Heavens Finger!"
"Shameless! You actually stole your Pops's supernatural powers!"
"Hateful!"
Watching the Projection, Long'er and the other girls clenched their little fists in anger. They never expected that Heavenly Mandate would actually steal their Pops's supernatural powers and then turn against Pops. It was simply too shameless.
Nangong Xian'er and the others, along with the Archaic Gods, also showed despair. They had already witnessed the terror of the Shrouding the Heavens Finger in the Projection, and now it seemed that Heavenly Mandate had completed a breakthrough and become even more powerful. The Shrouding the Heavens Finger, based on this, was even more terrifying.
Although Wang Hao returned against all odds and created the He Transforms Freedom Great Technique still had no chance against the Shrouding the Heavens Finger.
This is really the end!
However, Wang Hao in the Projection remained calm, even with a cold smile playing on his lips.
The moment the two fingers touched, an unparalleled sharpness erupted from Wang Hao's index finger, transforming into a sword aura that pierced through the Destroy the Withered and Crush the Rotten Shrouding the Heavens Finger of Heavenly Mandate Fate with overwhelming force, and then blasted towards Heavenly Mandate Fate itself.
Faced with the incoming supreme sword energy, Heavenly Mandate's expression changed drastically, but it was too late to dodge. The power of the Great Dao, such as time, space Cause and Effect and effect, and destiny, was all severed by the supreme sword energy. Even Heavenly Mandate's own means of foreseeing danger were cut off, making it impossible for him to react in advance.
In the end, Heavenly Mandate could only watch helplessly as the supreme sword energy pierced his brow, annihilating his true spirit and causing him to perish completely.
Last time, Wang Hao failed because of the precognitive methods of Heavenly Mandate. This time, he naturally wouldn't repeat the same mistake, so he cut off everything early on.
"I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you, my forte is actually Sword Dao. The Shrouding the Heavens Finger was merely a byproduct of my failed attempt to deduce Sword Dao by fusing the power of the Great God."
Maintaining his fading form, Wang Hao approached the Heavenly Mandate Body and chuckled coldly.
He originally intended to create Sword Dao by fusing the Great God, but unfortunately his own foundation and cultivation were still lacking. Even with the ultimate sublimation, he could not deduce the Supreme Sword Dao he wanted, and in the end, he could only settle for creating the Shrouding the Heavens Finger.
This time, with blood spilled in the River of Time, he had plenty of time to deduce it, and finally deduced the Supreme Sword Dao he wanted, which was that supreme sword energy that annihilated Heavenly Mandate.
At the same time, because the Supreme Sword Dao is an upgraded version of the Shrouding the Heavens Finger, it can counter the Shrouding the Heavens Finger.
If Heavenly Mandate hadn't used the Shrouding the Heavens Finger, Wang Hao wouldn't have had a very high chance of killing him, since he only had the power for one strike, while Heavenly Mandate was now a genuine Heavenly Dao Realm expert.
Unfortunately, that guy brought it on himself by unleashing his full power with the Shrouding the Heavens Finger.
This was precisely the result of Wang Hao's calculations. He had deliberately left the Great God within that single point of origin, allowing Heavenly Mandate to obtain them, all for the sake of this final, fatal blow.
Of course, because his Heavenly Dao Realm cultivation was obtained through the ultimate sublimation of a secret technique, his foundation is not stable. Therefore, he has only condensed a supreme sword aura. If he truly breaks through to the Heavenly Dao Realm, he will condense a physical Dao sword, which will be even more powerful.
"Whoosh!"
Just then, a millstone appeared from Heavenly Mandate's body, and with a whoosh, it rushed into the distant Chaos, flying towards the direction of the Tomb of the Gods World. Wang Hao was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
"I knew these old sly foxes who've lived for countless years were no pushovers!"
He couldn't help but complain. He had just sensed the aura of the Heavenly Dao from the flying Great Millstone of Destroying the World. Clearly, the Heavenly Dao had long been aware of the existence of the Mandate of Heavenly Mandate and had left a contingency plan in the Great Millstone of Destroying the World.
Perhaps the other party wanted to take advantage of Heavenly Mandate, but because of their own actions, they didn't find an opportunity and ultimately chose to run away.
Indeed, Wang Hao's guess was absolutely correct. The Daozheng hiding in the Great Millstone of Destroying the World, looking for an opportunity to steal a piece of the Heavenly Mandate of Heavenly Mandate and seize its ultimate achievement, but unfortunately, it had not been able to find such an opportunity.
This time, Wang Hao unleashed a terrifying killing move, the Supreme Sword Qi, which made him sense the danger of death.
Therefore, even though they knew that Wang Hao had already reached the pinnacle of sublimation and burned away everything, they still dared not linger, fearing that Wang Hao would strike them with an unparalleled sword aura. They were even willing to give up the Supreme Dao Body forged by Heavenly Mandate.
Wang Hao placed his palm on the top of the Supreme Dao Body left by Heavenly Mandate, allowing Xiao Mengmeng to absorb the primordial power left by Heavenly Mandate. At the same time, Wang Hao was also exploring the mysteries of the Heavenly Mandate Dao Body.
" Primordial Qi... So, to break through to the Heavenly Dao Realm, one must transform the Power of Chaos within the body into Primordial Qi?"
Sensing the core secret of the Supreme Dao Body Heavenly Mandate, Wang Hao Satori.
In the Primordial Unity Realm, one can freely control the Power of Chaos, and even forge Body of Chaos Gods and Devils. This is the ultimate expression that the Power of Chaos can achieve.
To break through to the Heavenly Dao Realm, one must transform the Power of Chaos into a higher level of Power of Primordial Chaos.
In the Primordial Main World, the Primordial Violet Qi, the opportunity for sainthood bestowed upon the Seven Great Sages by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, is a kind of Power of Primordial Chaos, which is why the Seven Great Sages were able to achieve Sage through a shortcut.
Of course, that is only the rank of Sage, which is not equivalent to the Primordial Unity Realm.
The Primordial Unity Realm is merely a cultivation level, while the Sage Fruit, like the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, is a position of supreme honor in the world.
Simply put, Sage is definitely Primordial Unity Realm expert, but Primordial Unity Realm expert is not necessarily Sage.
Having attained the status of Sage allows one to utilize the Power of the Heavenly Dao to a certain extent in battle. Generally speaking, such individuals are significantly stronger than those in the Primordial Unity Realm and can be considered as Half-Step Heavenly Dao Realm experts.
Of course, there are pitfalls in the Sage positions in the Primordial Main World, and the source of these pitfalls is the Primordial Violet Qi given by Dao Ancestor Hongjun. It seems that the Seven Great Sages have now become puppets.
With this in mind, Wang Hao calmed down and began to make preliminary plans for the future.
Sensing something, Wang Hao suddenly turned his head, his eyes piercing through the River of Time to see the scene that Yu Xin and the others were watching through Azure Heaven's memories in the future. Then, looking at the lonely 0 after his own Fortune Points, he felt that he needed to get some start-up capital for the next step.
" Xiao Mengmeng, can you still establish a Cause and Effect connection with that girl Yu Xin?"
After glancing at the system's task panel, Wang Hao asked Xiao Mengmeng, who was diligently refining the Origin of Heavenly Mandate.
The Cause and Effect connection between them was severed back when Yu Xin risked her life for him, and he has been unable to extract any more Fortune Points from her ever since.
This was one of the reasons why we went directly to confront Heavenly Mandate in the first place.
After all, Fortune Points are the most important foundation for his development. Once he loses Fortune Points, there's not much point in staying any longer. He might as well go and fight against Heavenly Mandate as soon as possible.
Even if you fail, you can still escape with enough Fortune Points to start the next dungeon.
He underestimated Heavenly Mandate and was tricked, leaving him unable to escape. In the end, he had no choice but to risk everything to perfect the final form of the He Transforms Freedom Great Technique.
Then he succeeded, not only He Transforms Freedom Great Technique, but also deducing the Supreme Dao Sword, killing Heavenly Mandate, and clearing this instance world.
Unfortunately, this came at a price; the remaining Fortune Points he had accumulated were completely depleted. Without knowing what the next instance world would hold, he needed to acquire some more Fortune Points as soon as possible to ensure his peace of mind.
Now that he has reached his current level, it is not impossible for him to re-establish a Cause and Effect relationship with Yu Xin.
