Chapter 190

Outside the pass, cold winds blew in gusts.

Li Hao traveled through the air, flying toward more distant places.

This time, he no longer needed to worry about being ambushed by demon kings at any moment, nor did he need to rely on Master Feng's protection to escape with his life.

Although he was only at the peak of the Three Imperishable Realms, Li Hao felt that even if he encountered a Dao Heart Realm demon king, he could still fight it without needing to transform into an immortal.

Regrettably.

He added points again, going from the seventh stage of the Physical Dao to the eighth, but it prompted him that he needed to refine his Dao Heart.

Of the four steps of the Four Standing Realms, this first step, the Dao Heart Realm, although the weakest, was the most crucial step.

Li Hao could only rely on himself to find that Dao Heart before he could add points to improve.

Li Hao felt that once he found the Dao Heart and added points, it was highly likely he would step into the peak of the Four Standing Realms in one go, which was the level of that Buddha Lord.

By then, apart from the Imperial Court, there should be no place within this Emperor Da Yu Realm that could block his path.

Within three hundred miles outside the pass, Li Hao had already fished and leveled everything.

Now, passing through again, Li Hao only saw a small number of minor demons wandering over from who knows where, settling down and foraging here, all of which he casually wiped out.

The demons in this wilderness area were like weeds; if not cleared for a period of time, they would grow back.

Li Hao intended to make some of his own military flags later and plant them in these areas, letting these demons know that this place was a forbidden zone for them.

Seven hundred miles away was the Wanshan area.

Originally, this was a forbidden land for the human race, not to be stepped into, otherwise that Wanshan Demon King would come forward to capture and kill them, and the Emperor Da Yu Divine Dynasty could not even put out a warrant for it.

But now, Li Hao stepped directly into this place.

Along the way, he casually slaughtered four Heavenly Human Realm demons.

These demons occupied their own mountain peaks, with territories of about a hundred miles, not infringing on each other.

Li Hao did not give them a chance to speak, directly raising his hand to wipe them out, even flattening the mountain peaks.

When Li Hao arrived at this once-forbidden area, he saw that in these layered Wanshan, it was already silent.

Inside, there were only a few minor demons of the Zhou Tian Realm with low intelligence.

The rest of the demons had already disappeared.

They had either died in that great battle or fled this place after hearing the news.

Flying all the way, Li Hao saw that on these mountain peaks, there were caves opened by demons, which stank inside.

On the mountain tops, there were also demon flags made by demons imitating the human race, with the words "Wanshan" written on them, shabbily slanted on the mountain walls, having lost their former spirit.

Li Hao unleashed his divine soul to patrol the entire Wanshan domain.

Encountering some minor demons baring their fangs, he directly slapped them to death.

Approaching the central area was the Wanshan Demon King's mountain top, with dangerous peaks, a stone staircase leading to the summit, built extremely magnificently.

At the summit, there was a palace like a golden throne, standing like a royal palace in these deep mountains, revealing a bit of demonic evil amidst the splendor.

Around it stood sculptures of the Wanshan Demon King's original form, a giant lion, with dragons and phoenixes carved on the base of the sculptures, seemingly trying to please the giant lion.

Li Hao flew past along the way and casually shattered them.

Now with a physical strength of a million catties, he could split mountains and crack rocks with a casual wave.

If it were object-manipulation power, a single thought could move mountains, a single thought could slash peaks.

"They didn't leave in too much of a hurry."

Li Hao saw that in the palace here, nothing was left behind, except for the jewelry and jade embedded in the palace.

But these things, to demons, had no value other than being able to glow.

Patrolling a circle, Li Hao had no gains; those Three Imperishable Realm demons' caves were also empty, clearly having prepared their retreat and escape before this great battle.

Li Hao kicked and shattered the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, which was like a royal palace, then soared into the sky and left this place.

He changed direction and headed toward the south side, where the Longshan Daoist Temple was.

……

……

In the Longshan Daoist Temple.

The once bustling and noisy temple was now empty on its vast enlightenment field.

The once curling incense smoke now only had a few sticks burning, with not much incense ash left.

Two small demons that had not yet transformed sneaked over, crawling in through a dog hole at the back of the temple, and seeing the empty temple, they bared their teeth slightly, revealing secret joy.

Then they ran to the incense burner, suddenly puffing out their chests, wanting to suck it in.

But suddenly a shadow loomed, followed by a fishy stench, as if there were buzzing insect sounds flying, covering the two small demons.

The two small demons revealed terrified expressions, and before they could struggle or scream, they were completely covered, then turned into blood, and the wisp of demonic aura squeezed out from their bodies floated into the mouth of a mummy-like demon.

"Wild little demons, daring to come and suck the Dragon Incense."

The mummy demon snorted coldly; this incense was not ordinary, but made by mixing special demon flesh and blood, and the burning incense contained a special demonic aura, which could increase cultivation when sucked.

"The Dragon Lord hasn't returned for a long time; the news gathered earlier said the attack on Tianmen Pass failed."

A woman with an alluring upper body but a centipede-like lower body swam over, shaking a folding fan in her hand to cover her face, and said softly:

"Husband, now only we are left here; why don't we leave too? The Dragon Lord probably won't come back."

"Leave, where can we go?"

The mummy demon shook his head, "If the Dragon Lord comes back and sees we aren't here, he will hunt us down."

"We can flee elsewhere, go to the north of the Emperor Da Yu Divine Dynasty; the battle just ended over in Yanbei, I heard many demons died, so many territories should be vacant, we can go there and declare ourselves kings."

The alluring centipede woman said.

"There is the Shenggong over there; although they were defeated and retreated thousands of miles, if we go over there, we need to fly a banner with the Shenggong; after all, we aren't wild little demons."

The mummy shook his head and said: "Besides, I suspect the Dragon Lord might have gone to join the Longmen; I heard the Dragon Lord say earlier that the Longmen would attack Liangzhou; I don't know if they will choose this Tianmen Pass as a breakthrough point; if they do, the Dragon Lord will still come back; by then we can follow the Dragon Lord to charge and get a share of the spoils, and we can also get many benefits."

"Longmen……"

Hearing these two words, the alluring centipede woman's eyes shone; as a scaled demon, she longed to enter the Longmen.

I heard there were many true dragons there, and they would also teach demon cultivation techniques for transcending tribulations and becoming dragons.

"Since husband has such a plan, I will listen to you."

The alluring centipede woman said softly, her voice full of allure.

The mummy demon smiled and was about to hold her to say something when he suddenly sensed something and turned his head to look.

At this look, his pupils suddenly shrank.

I saw that on the not-far-away temple field, a youth dressed in noble attire was standing there, quietly watching them.

"It's you!"

The mummy demon saw the youth's appearance clearly, his heart terrified, his soul almost scared out of his body.

When he went to attack Tianmen Pass earlier, he was the only Three Imperishable demon to escape, and he had seen this youth's power with his own eyes.

An ordinary Three Imperishable Realm cultivator was simply no match for him! The other party actually dared to chase him here from over a thousand miles away from Tianmen Pass.

"Human race?"

The alluring centipede woman looked at Li Hao suspiciously, originally wanting to smile alluringly and go up to solve him, but sensing her husband's exclamation, her heart contracted, and she had an ominous premonition.

"What did you just say about the Longmen? Tell me again carefully."

Li Hao smiled slightly.

"You actually dare to come here; this is our demon territory!"

The mummy stared at Li Hao, but transmitted his voice to the alluring centipede woman beside him, saying: "You go and kill this brat; I'll go and solve the person behind him."

Hearing this, the alluring centipede woman couldn't help but scan the surroundings, but she couldn't see any other figures, but she didn't dare to be careless, releasing an alluring smile, and said: "Where did this cute human come from? Little brother, do you think sister is beautiful?"

Her lower centipede body contracted, actually turning into slender, white, tender long legs, and she swayed toward Li Hao.

Bursts of demonic wind swept through, and the alluring demonic technique was activated; ordinary Heavenly Human Realm cultivators would be affected to some extent.

Li Hao stood still.

Bang! Suddenly, the alluring centipede woman's head was slapped by something, and it burst open violently.

Fresh blood sprayed, and the alluring smile on her face was still stiff on her lips.

Her body flew backward, thrown to the side, turning into a huge centipede shape, but her head had already exploded, and a divine soul emerged from inside, but its eyes were full of terror.

What kind of monster human is this? Clearly in the Three Imperishable Realm, and husband actually let me go kill him? The mummy, who was about to turn and flee, had his footsteps lifted, but his expression stiffened on the spot.

Actually couldn't even hold him back? "I don't have much patience; speak properly."

Li Hao said indifferently, and a wisp of sword Qi, like starlight, rolled up from the ground, piercing straight through the mummy's shoulder, then flew back and stopped in front of his eyes.

The cold murderous aura made the mummy feel his heartbeat accelerate.

Compared to that previous time, this youth's strength seemed to have improved to a level he couldn't understand.

Could it be that he had crossed into the Four Standing Realms?

He felt that his brain must be broken; this was an impossible thing.

The shadow of death loomed, and the mummy swallowed his saliva, and under Li Hao's coercion, he said everything he knew.

After he finished speaking, Li Hao was not polite, casually throwing out a sword Qi, piercing his body, and then wiping out his divine soul.

As for the alluring centipede woman's divine soul beside him, Li Hao did not show mercy either, raising his hand to gather the power of heaven and earth, wiping her out.

This mummy was only in the Indestructible Realm, trying to reveal his original form to fight Li Hao, but the power gap was too vast.

"……Liangzhou, Longmen……"

Li Hao's eyes flickered; the mummy didn't know much, but the demons eyeing Liangzhou and being restless was consistent with the military report information sent by Li Xuanli earlier.

It's just that, hearing Second Uncle say it, the Longmen was one of the top forces among demons.

The experts in its force were about the same as the Divine General Mansion.

If the Longmen gathered all the experts in the sect to attack Liangzhou, then Liangzhou would probably be set ablaze everywhere.

Relying solely on the Li Clan, they might not be able to hold such a large territory.

Shaking his head slightly, Li Hao didn't think too much; currently, it was just some rumors, so he would guard his Tianmen Pass well first.

Patrolling the temple field with his divine soul, Li Hao rummaged through it and found some leftover demon supplies, but nothing rare or valuable.

Li Hao found four demon cultivation techniques inside, which he recorded into the panel; they were all body-refining methods.

He stood on the temple field and practiced them one by one, but the parts refined by these four techniques overlapped quite a bit, only increasing his strength by three hundred thousand catties.

Now, his physical strength had increased to 1.3 million catties.

In the divine power state, it was 13 million catties; such a physique was considered extremely powerful even among demons.

Leaving the Longshan Daoist Temple, Li Hao stomped his foot in the high sky, causing the entire temple to collapse and be destroyed.

Only then did he turn and leave, heading toward the Holy Peak of the Holy Demon King.

But by the time Li Hao arrived here, it was also empty; the demons outside the Three Passes had gathered to kill him earlier, and now they had all abandoned their old nests and fled to who knows where.

Li Hao felt a bit regretful; originally afraid of encountering these demon kings, he only dared to fish on the edge of the pass, but now that he wanted to find a demon king to practice with, he couldn't find one.

Helpless, Li Hao could only cast his gaze toward more distant places.

He severed this Holy Peak, left this place, and headed deeper into more distant areas.

……

Fire Melting Cave.

A hundred miles outside the cave was all bare black rock, and inside the cave was an active volcano with magma flowing.

Strips of red snakes and fire lizards coiled around the magma pool, some turning into half-demon shapes, with lizard upper bodies but snow-white human legs, lying on the rock wall like geckos.

At this moment, a small bird with black wings flew in from outside the cave.

After landing, it turned into the appearance of a six or seven-year-old girl, looking like carved jade, but her demeanor was mature; after scanning the surroundings, she quickly lowered her head and transmitted her voice.

Not long after, the magma surged, and a large python with red scales all over its body raised its body from the bottom of the pool, the rolling demonic aura not restrained in the slightest, revealing itself.

The most peculiar thing was that its neck was forked, and there were actually three snake heads.

"Tianji Hall, how is the situation you were asked to investigate earlier? Have those guys from the Tai Xu Realm really entered the world?"

Seeing this huge red-scaled three-headed python, the little girl looked respectful and said crisply: "Lord Three-San San Xiang Shou, you can rest assured about the work of our Tianji Hall; we have already found out everything you need."

"The Tai Xu Realm has indeed entered the world; this time they are going to attack Liangzhou, invited by the Shenggong and the Longmen; this time the Longmen is the leader, with the Tai Xu Realm and the Shenggong as support."

"In addition, the Wanshan Demon King failed to attack Tianmen Mountain and has fled separately with the Dragon Lord and the Holy Demon King; their territories have indeed been vacated."

"The National Teacher of the Northern Rin Kingdom is a subordinate of the Wanshan Demon King and has now also retreated; the Northern Rin Dynasty is currently lacking a National Teacher; if you are interested, Lord Three-San San Xiang Shou, you can let your subordinates go."

Hearing the little girl's words, the red-scaled three-headed giant python's eyes flickered, and one of its heads sneered:

"That old demon king is truly stupid; his stupid son died well; I heard it was killed by a human; I really should thank that person properly."

"The Longmen invited us; do you think we should go?"

Another head asked.

The three heads seemed to have independent thinking, and the voices they spoke with were also different.

The largest head in the middle didn't speak, its eyes dignified and deep, spitting out two blood-agate-like things, which flew toward the little girl: "This is your reward."

"Thank you, Lord Three-San San Xiang Shou."

The little girl took them, revealing a look of joy, then respectfully said: "Do you have any other needs?"

"Not for now; you go first."

"Okay."

The little girl agreed, then demonic Qi swept over her body, turning into the original black flying bird shape, and flew out of the cave.

After rushing out of this Fire Melting Cave, the black flying bird quickly increased its altitude, rushing toward the clouds, performing a secret technique, and its body disappeared.

But just as its body was about to disappear, suddenly a golden sword light flew over, cutting off its wing.
