Chapter 318: Supreme Sovereign of Haotian (Two-in-One)

In this blood lake that was churning like a stormy sea, all of Li Hao's clothing had dissolved, leaving him stark naked.

The Universe Jade Belt was about to slide off him, but Li Hao grabbed it, wrapped it around his arm, and held it high.

But the material of this Universe Jade Belt was clearly not as good as Li Hao's body. Just by being splashed and soaked by the Demon Saint's blood, it already showed signs of rotting and damage.

The heaven and earth space inside also revealed a corner, like a gap, and the blood rippled into it.

"Where, where is this?"

The Red Blood Vine Demon King extended a blood-colored tentacle from inside, probing the situation outside in astonishment, only to be splashed by a wave of blood and immediately let out a miserable scream.

"So painful!"

"My power seems to be imprisoned; I can't fly anymore."

The Red Blood Vine Demon King tried to fly out from the heaven and earth space, but discovered in panic that it couldn't mobilize the energy in its body.

Seeing Li Hao holding his arm high above the lake surface, his arm already tattered, revealing bloody muscle and bone, it paused, as if understanding.

"Are we, are we going to die?"

It asked softly, its voice trembling.

Li Hao heard its words and didn't expect that before he died, the one accompanying him would actually be a demon.

His heart felt bitter. He looked around, but it was pitch black and boundless; he couldn't see the rock walls.

The falling flesh and blood smashed into the lake, causing the lake water to ripple violently, pushing his body back and forth on the surface. He didn't know how far he was from the rock walls.

"I'll try to see if I can find the rock wall."

Li Hao said, kicking his legs hard against the water, swinging his single arm, and swimming straight in one direction.

But large pieces of limbs kept falling along the way, and the waves they raised pushed him back.

This Demon Saint's body originally seemed to be supported by a force, but now that it had lost that force, it turned into chunks of flesh that had been rotting for ten thousand years in an instant, collapsing and disintegrating, submerged in this foul-smelling, rotting blood lake.

"Careful."

The Red Blood Vine Demon King said hurriedly.

Li Hao saw a falling limb smash down from above and hurriedly swam to the side at full speed, but he was still grazed on the shoulder, which immediately dragged his body into the depths of the blood lake.

Bursts of suffocation surged in. Li Hao hurriedly gripped the Universe Jade Belt and swam toward the lake surface with all his might.

By the time he swam up, most of the flesh and blood on his body had been shaken off or corroded, leaving only a few strands of meat hanging on his white bones, which was extremely horrifying.

Li Hao raised his white-boned arm and saw the Universe Jade Belt held by his five white-boned fingers. The gaps between his fingers were huge, and they couldn't block the blood at all. The jade belt was already completely soaked and severely corroded.

"I didn't expect to bring you to such a dead end."

At this moment of life and death, Li Hao instead slowly calmed down. He looked up at the unreachable sky. The massive Prison Heaven Island was now as small as a sesame seed, occupying an extremely tiny area in his field of vision.

His gaze looked at the empty sky of the secret realm, which didn't even have clouds or mist, and he said as if to himself:

"The world outside actually has beautiful things too. It's a pity I won't have the chance to take you to see them."

"Woo... it hurts so much."

The Red Blood Vine Demon King's tentacle crawled out from the space of the Universe Jade Belt again. Although it was crying out in pain, it wrapped around Li Hao's arm: "Eat me. We're going to die anyway. If you eat me, you can hold on a little longer."

Li Hao was slightly startled: "You want me to eat you?"

"You don't want to eat? You were afraid of forcing me, and that I'd self-detonate, right?"

The Red Blood Vine Demon King's tentacle wrapped around Li Hao's skull-like head and cheeks, like a pair of soft palms, gently and carefully cradling Li Hao's withered-bone-like cheeks: "At this point, we're both going to die. If my fate is to be eaten by someone, then I definitely choose you..."

"Why?"

The Red Blood Vine Demon King didn't answer, but blood radiance bloomed from its tentacle, and it took the initiative to pour it into Li Hao's skull-like mouth.

"Because we hooked pinkies before..."

"I won't leave you behind, so as long as I die before you, it means you didn't leave me behind; it doesn't count as me breaking our agreement..."

It said in a low voice, its voice gradually weakening. Its body crawled out from the space of the Universe Jade Belt, transformed into a blood radiance like a python, and followed Li Hao's head, drilling into his body.

This wasn't Li Hao eating; it was it taking the initiative to drill into Li Hao's body, sacrificing itself as blood food.

Seeing the youth's body corroded and tattered while his palm still held the Universe Jade Belt high, it knew it had followed the right person.

Li Hao was stunned, floating dumbly on the blood lake.

He had promised it before that he would take it out of the Great Wilderness, and that he would take a bite every day to collect interest.

At that time, it had regarded its body as a treasure, guarding it carefully.

Now, the youth hadn't yet fulfilled his promise, but it had already offered its entire self to him.

It was just a demon Li Hao had never taken to heart.

Li Hao thought of the tentacle that had quietly wrapped around his little finger to hook pinkies, and his eyes immediately turned red.

His head was covered by the blood radiance, and the majestic blood Qi surged into his body, nourishing his skeleton.

His physical body, originally refined to be comparable to a Nine-Cast Divine Weapon, seemed to have loosened some kind of bottleneck under the nourishment of this majestic blood Qi power.

At this time, the erosion speed of the surrounding blood lake on his bones also suddenly decreased, and Li Hao could feel bursts of profound power from this blood.

He was startled and quickly circulated the Sacrificial Spirit True Demon Art, absorbing the bursts of profound blood power from the blood lake.

Previously he couldn't absorb it, but at this moment, he seemed to have stepped past a bottleneck; he could barely circulate his art to wear down this Sage-realm flesh and blood power!

However, the speed was extremely slow, as long and drawn out as pulling silk.

But Li Hao suppressed his grief and circulated the Sacrificial Spirit True Demon Art with all his might. He knew that only in this way could he have a glimmer of survival and not let down its sacrifice.

A piece of a limb smashed down, slapping Li Hao's body into the blood lake. He didn't struggle anymore, but sat cross-legged in the blood lake, concentrating on refining and absorbing.

Only, the speed of his absorption seemed unable to catch up with the speed of erosion. His bones were slowly peeling off and shattering into pieces.

His body was gradually wearing away, shrinking smaller and smaller.

But the blood radiance that was drawing and coiling around his head was gradually condensing more deeply...

On the Desolate Sea, a figure appeared like a teleportation, then suddenly disappeared.

When it appeared again the next instant, it was already hovering above the desolate abyss.

The law of forbidden flight over the abyss was actually ineffective against him.

His long white hair fluttered, and he wore extremely simple ancient robes, his expression solemn.

Staring at the pitch-black abyss below, his gaze seemed to be able to see the bottom of the abyss, the churning blood lake, and the collapsed and disintegrated body of Wenren Ji.

"That obsession actually dissipated?"

The old man's eyes narrowed. This Wenren Ji had once attacked the Holy Ancestor, but the Holy Ancestor, remembering the time she had spent by his side, had crushed her consciousness but not completely erased her lingering obsession, sealing it within this body.

If it weren't sealed, it might have been absorbed by the Mo River, merging into the most terrifying Mo River.

In this way, it would be a danger to all living beings, and for Wenren Ji, it would be an eternal inability to be liberated.

It was just unexpected that this lingering obsession had actually dissipated now.

Was the obsession fulfilled, causing it to dissipate on its own, or had it transcended and left? He carefully examined the blood lake and could feel that this was a lake of poisonous blood, possessing extremely strong harm and corrosive power, as well as the residual and dissipating laws on Wenren Ji's body.

These laws, while dissipating, would become chaotic. The laws originally condensed by the Great Dao now only remained as the origin Great Dao, which would only cause indiscriminate harm.

Although he didn't touch it, he had already seen that the Great Dao Wenren Ji cultivated was Aging.

As long as one approached this place, even above the blood lake, one would age rapidly and wither.

It was precisely because its laws were so terrifying that after that great battle ended and Wenren Ji exhausted her power, she completely overdrawn herself, causing her body to rot like this.

If it were any other Sage-realm cultivator, their body could remain intact for ten thousand years, let alone rot.

"Who awakened it?"

The old man frowned, feeling a trace of confusion in his heart. The Holy Ancestor was his grandfather. He remembered his grandfather sealing this thing here, but for countless years, it had been peaceful. How could it cause such a big commotion now?

His gaze shifted, landing on one of the chains hanging near the abyss rock wall, and he beckoned with his hand.

A black shadow flew from the chain, white-haired and on the verge of death.

But as she left the abyss, the aura on her body gradually recovered, and she said in astonishment, "Third, Third Ancestor!"

This figure was none other than Ji Yunyue. She hadn't died. Previously, she had let go of Li Hao's hand, not wanting to drag the child down, but she didn't expect the Demon Saint's tentacles not to attack her, but to chase directly after Li Hao.

Clearly, this Demon Saint was attracted by the Sage aura on Li Hao.

And this also allowed her to cling tightly to the chain, managing to save her life.

"What happened? Did you awaken it?"

The old man asked with a frown. He didn't recognize the old woman before him, but he knew she must be some descendant.

Hearing the Third Ancestor ask, all the grief in Ji Yunyue's heart surged out. She had also seen the Abyss Heaven Stele being toppled and falling, which had made her eyes split with rage.

That was the Ji Clan's Dao Seed, actually abandoned by that group of damned criminals!

She wished she could go up and kill them all.

"Third Ancestor, please go save our Ji Clan's Dao Seed. He was swallowed by that Demon Saint, and I don't know..."

Ji Yunyue said hurriedly.

"Dao Seed?"

The old man was slightly startled, his expression changing slightly. As his thoughts turned, he immediately deduced the reason. It was likely that the Dao Seed had awakened Wenren Ji.

Most Ji Clan Dao Seeds had Holy Bones. Only Holy Bones could possibly influence that Wenren Ji. It was just that no one had ever thought such a thing would happen before.

Moreover, the Ji Clan Dao Seed's status was noble, and he wouldn't come to such a dangerous place. This was like a favored Crown Prince not easily visiting a prison.

"That Demon Saint is already dead."

The old man looked at Ji Yunyue's anxious appearance and said, "Other than you, there are no other survivors, unless he is inside the blood lake. It's just that with the Great Dao aura in the blood covering it, it's impossible to spy, but..."

"But what?"

Ji Yunyue asked nervously.

"But if he really is in the blood lake, even a Wen Dao Realm cultivator would have to shed a layer of skin and would have struggled out long ago. Otherwise, having soaked for so long, he would undoubtedly be dead."

The old man glanced at the abyss, his brows furrowed, and he said:

"This Wenren Ji's lingering obsession must have obtained the Sage power on the Holy Bones in his body, already transcended and disappeared, abandoning this body, or perhaps the obsession was fulfilled and dissipated on its own."

"Third Ancestor, that child does not have Holy Bones in his body."

Ji Yunyue said hurriedly, "He only has a Sage mark."

"Sage mark?"

The old man was slightly startled, his eyes moving slightly: "The trace of Sage power aura I vaguely sensed a few days ago, could it be when he received the Sage mark?"

"It should be."

"Then it's even more impossible for him to be alive. Without Holy Bones, what is his realm?"

The old man asked.

"Three Imperishables Realm."

Ji Yunyue said, and hurriedly added, "But he created a myth, defeating Ji Xuanshen who had Holy Bones, and even broke his Dao Domain with the Three Imperishables Realm. If this child steps into the Four Standing Realms, I simply can't imagine how strong he will be in the future!"

"Three Imperishables breaking a Dao Domain?"

The old man's eyes suddenly narrowed: "Are you sure? Did he have some Sage Heart treasure?"

"No, just relying on his own fists."

Ji Yunyue continued, "He opened up four extreme realms, one of which should be the Land Immortal Realm, capable of erupting with unimaginable power in the short term."

"Land Immortal..."

The old man was stunned, and he instantly understood the reason.

Because he had also stepped into this extreme realm.

"So that's how it is..."

His heart was somewhat moved. He looked down at the blood lake rippling in the abyss, and a trace of regret and anger appeared in his eyes: "In that case, he really was a peerless monster, even an existence with hope of stepping into the Sage Realm. But how could you let him come here?!"

"He is a half-breed. His mother was imprisoned here because she married an outsider in private. He came to pick up his mother..."

Ji Yunyue said, pleading, "Third Ancestor, please save him. Perhaps he is still alive."

Half-breed... The old man was slightly stunned. He had thought that not having Holy Bones was one thing, but to actually be a half-breed.

He looked at Ji Yunyue's aged face, which was streaming with tears, his brows furrowed tightly. He had only just realized that this Wenren Ji would be attracted by Sage power; blaming these people was useless.

He sighed and said, "Stop crying. He couldn't have survived. Although Wenren Ji only has her body left and is not in her peak period, it's not something a Dao Seed can withstand."

He looked up at Prison Heaven Island, noticed the situation on the island, his expression gloomy, and disappeared with Ji Yunyue like a teleportation, appearing above Prison Heaven Island the next moment.

"Third Ancestor!"

Seeing this suddenly appearing old man and Ji Yunyue, the people on the island who were about to break out into conflict were all stunned, then their expressions changed in horror, and they knelt down one after another.

Ji Yunqing saw Ji Yunyue, but his originally furious, red face was stunned. He couldn't even care about saluting the Third Ancestor and hurriedly said, "Fourth Sister, where is Li Le Ping?!"

"Li Le Ping, he fell into the abyss!"

Ji Yunyue cried in grief.

The surprise and agitation that had just risen in Ji Yunqing's heart fell again in the blink of an eye, like a drum beating against his chest, leaving his mind dazed.

Ji Yunyue had come with Li Hao, so they should have been on the same chain, but Ji Yunyue had survived, yet that child hadn't? "Third Ancestor, I beg you to save Li Le Ping. That child is my Ji Clan's Dao Seed, with peerless talent; he absolutely cannot die!"

Ji Yunqing suddenly reacted and hurriedly knelt down to pray.

"Third Ancestor, I beg you to save my son!"

Ji Qingqing also knelt down almost at the same time, her emotions agitated.

Li Tiangang also realized that the old man before him had terrifying strength. Just the fact that he could hover above the abyss was enough to show how terrifying he was.

He also quickly knelt down and slammed his head hard against the ground: "I beg the Senior to save my son. I, Li Tiangang, am willing to be a beast of burden for the Ji Clan..."

"He cannot be saved."

The old man interrupted his words, swept his gaze over the crowd, and then landed on the Abyss Heaven Stele.

With just one glance, he quickly outlined what had happened here in his mind, and his eyes immediately turned cold.

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, the old man didn't speak, but waved his sleeve, gathering them all into his sleeve world.

Subsequently, he beckoned with his hand, and the two Abyss Heaven Chains that had fallen into the abyss flew upward as if pulled.

He waved his palm, and the tilted Prison Heaven Island was straightened, pushed to the space above the abyss. Subsequently, the two Abyss Heaven Steles flew up straight, the chains clattered, and they were inserted back into Prison Heaven Island.

After Prison Heaven Island returned to its original state, the old man glanced at the abyss, a trace of gloom in his eyes.

He didn't stay any longer, took Ji Yunyue into another sleeve, turned around, and disappeared with a teleportation.

Three breaths later, his body appeared on the top of the Shengshan. In just a short moment, he had crossed hundreds of thousands of miles.

He waved his sleeves, and the people who had been on Prison Heaven Island were all dropped to the ground by him.

And from the other sleeve, he released Ji Yunyue.

Ji Daoxin's figure flew over rapidly, flashing continuously like a teleportation, appearing before the old man, and hurriedly bowed: "Third Ancestor."

"Something happened on Prison Heaven Island. Wenren Ji, sealed by the Holy Ancestor, awakened and ate the Dao Seed." The old man said coldly: "How could you let our Ji Clan's Dao Seed go to such a place? Couldn't you have sent someone to bring his mother to the Shengshan?!"

Hearing the anger in the Third Ancestor's words, Ji Daoxin was stunned. The information in this short moment was too great.

Something happened on Prison Heaven Island? He had only vaguely sensed an aura over there; after all, it was too far away.

"The, the Dao Seed was eaten?"

Compared to the anger in the Third Ancestor's words, Ji Daoxin suddenly looked at Ji Yunyue, trembling: "That child, is he dead?"

Ji Yunyue cried, "He fell into the abyss and was eaten by the Demon Saint."

Ji Daoxin's pupils vibrated, somewhat incredulous.

Seeing the Third Ancestor's sharp gaze, he immediately sobered up, his expression changed, and he lowered his head:

"I originally said to wait for the Desolate Sea to calm down before sending someone to pick up his mother, but that child couldn't wait. After seeing his mother suffering on the Heaven-Watching Mirror, he insisted on going personally..."

The Third Ancestor's expression became increasingly gloomy, but he could understand this.

And Ji Daoxin's words fell into the ears of Li Tiangang and Ji Qingqing nearby, causing both of their expressions to change. Ji Qingqing's body trembled slightly, and she burst into tragic tears.

"Third Ancestor, what about that Demon Saint now?"

Ji Daoxin asked hurriedly.

"It has already left. It's temporarily unknown whether it transcended into a Sage or if the obsession dissipated." The Third Ancestor said coldly.

"Is there not even the child's corpse?"

A trace of grief also appeared in Ji Daoxin's eyes. In terms of talent alone, that child was definitely one of the top Heaven's Prides the Ji Clan had seen in ten thousand years. Had he really fallen just like that?

And he had fallen in the Ji Clan's secret realm; it was simply absurd!

"Wenren Ji's flesh and blood rotted into a lake, and the Dao intent on the lake is rampant. It's impossible for a corpse to remain; it would have long since been turned into dust."

The Third Ancestor's expression was gloomy, and he said: "I haven't truly stepped into the Sage Realm yet, and even I would be affected, let alone a child. Even if there were a one-in-ten-thousand chance, I would be willing to search for him, but now there isn't even a trace of a possibility."

Speaking of this, he glanced at the people below, his eyes cold, and said to Ji Daoxin: "Ask them about the specific matters; arrange the disposal yourself."

Having said that, he flicked his sleeve, turned around, stepped out, and disappeared with a teleportation.

After hearing the Third Ancestor's words, everyone, including Ji Daoxin, had faces as gray as earth.

Not even a one-in-ten-thousand chance? Turned into dust?

Li Tiangang and Ji Qingqing were both pale.

The news of Li Hao's fall spread from the Shengshan, and the entire Ji Clan was shaken.

In these days, Li Hao's reputation was as dazzling as the scorching sun in the secret realm. No one didn't know of him. Anything related to him would be captured by people, let alone the news of his death now.

"What?"

In a cave dwelling, Ji Xuanshen, who was cultivating, looked at the words his father said with joy in his eyes and stood up abruptly: "He's dead?"

"That's right. I heard he had a Sage mark on him, which awakened the Demon Saint sealed under Prison Heaven Island, and he was eaten by the Demon Saint!"

The middle-aged man was full of emotion and said: "I've lived for hundreds of years, and I only just learned that there was actually a Demon Saint sealed under that Prison Heaven Island. I heard it was a Demon Saint killed by the Holy Ancestor, who sealed it here out of old friendship. I didn't expect it to be a huge help to us now!"

"That child is dead, and now you will be the Ji Clan's Dao Seed again!"

He looked at his son, his eyes full of pride and arrogance, as well as a trace of hidden awe:

"They say heaven is jealous of talent; I've truly witnessed it now. That child had shallow fortune and couldn't bear the favor of our Ji Clan. Having a Sage mark on him turned out to be a disaster for him instead. Tsk tsk..."

"Stop talking!"

Ji Xuanshen shouted abruptly.

The middle-aged man was stunned, his expression changing slightly, but he didn't get angry, instead looking somewhat bewildered: "Xuanshen, you..."

"What does Ji Xuanshen fear in an opponent? Losing to him was only because I wasn't strong enough!"

Ji Xuanshen had anger in his eyes, glaring at his father before him: "The position of Dao Seed only fell into my hands after he died. Do you think I would care for it?!"

The middle-aged man was stunned and said: "But, but it is the Dao Seed after all..."

"A sparrow doesn't know the ambition of a swan!"

Ji Xuanshen looked at his father, his eyes showing disgust and hatred for failing to meet expectations, and he said with a cold face:

"You go; I want to cultivate in peace!"

"..."

The middle-aged man took a look, smiled bitterly in his heart, turned around, and left.

"I was still waiting to fight again in the Wen Dao Realm..."

Ji Xuanshen sat back on the Dao platform, his expression ugly. Although he had felt stifled after being challenged and defeated by that youth previously, he had had an unprecedented motivation to cultivate.

Under this intention, he felt he had vaguely touched the Wen Dao Realm.

The battle with that youth had allowed him to vaguely glimpse his own Dao.

But now, that youth was dead.

"Bastard!"

He slapped out in anger, shattering the Dao platform.

The news of Li Hao's death caused a huge sensation. Countless people flocked outside the Council Hall, wanting to know the details.

Ji Daoxin, Ji Tianchao, and other War Gods and Elders all arrived to interrogate everyone who was present at the time.

After asking about the course of events, they were all stunned. Even Li Tiangang was dumbfounded, looking at his wife in shock.

Many criminals were terrified and pushed all the blame onto Ji Qingqing, saying they gave her a choice, but she didn't stop it.

Facing the accusations of the crowd, the grief-stricken Ji Qingqing was unable to argue. The choice she made at that moment was indeed something she couldn't refute.

"You, how could you..."

Although Ji Yunqing and Ji Yunyue were present, they only now learned the ins and outs of the matter and nearly fainted from anger.

"That is your son!!"

Ji Yunyue stomped her feet and said: "He still had a future! How could you have the heart to cut it off?!"

Ji Qingqing's body trembled, her tears blurred, and she choked with sobs:

"I didn't want to choose. If I could, I would rather use my life to exchange for his, but there was no such choice. I didn't know what to do. My husband and I have shared life and death, we have fought side by side for more than ten years through life and death, I, I couldn't let him down."

"Then you could let that child down?"

Ji Yunqing was so angry that he roared excitedly at his niece: "Do you know that child risked his life to come to our Ji Clan for you? He is a half-breed; he almost came at the risk of his life!"

"For you, he endured insults, fought against Heaven's Prides. He never intended to inherit our Ji Clan's Dao Seed; it was only because of you that he fought with his life! How could you have the heart!!"

"Without him, you wouldn't be able to clear your crimes at all, and your husband would never have been able to live in our Ji Clan!"

Ji Qingqing was stunned. She turned to look at Li Tiangang and said: "Wasn't it you who brought him here?"

Li Tiangang had already put away his shock. His wife's words fell into his ears, causing his defenses to collapse like a dam. He felt both grief and powerlessness, but more than that, he felt self-hatred. If he hadn't stepped onto that chain, there wouldn't have been such a choice.

"I came to find him. He rebelled against the Li Clan, and I wanted to take him back..."

Li Tiangang turned his head in grief, unable to bear looking at his wife.

"Rebelled against the Li Clan?"

Ji Qingqing was stunned.

Li Tiangang didn't want to elaborate on that matter anymore, only saying: "After returning from the Yanbei campaign, we had some conflicts. It was all my fault; I shouldn't have been so strict with him. I came here just to find him; I was afraid something would happen to him..."

Ji Qingqing was stunned: "But you even told him the name we once decided on. Wasn't your relationship harmonious?"

"Hao'er has been intelligent since he was young; he remembers things from when he was a few months old. I never told him; maybe you said it yourself, and he remembered it..." Li Tiangang's eyes were wet and red.

The color drained from Ji Qingqing's face. In her mind, she suddenly thought of the time before the Yanbei campaign, when she held the child and whispered. That was the only time she had ever mentioned that name.

That child... remembered.

Then he must have remembered other things too.

Ji Qingqing's tears surged out, and she covered her mouth. She didn't dare imagine what kind of mood and despair that child must have felt if he came with such expectations, only to fall down in the end.

"It's my fault, it's all my fault..."

She cried uncontrollably.

Ji Daoxin and the others looked at them with anger. It was both anger and powerlessness. No matter how much they scolded them now, it couldn't be undone.

Ji Daoxin ordered all the criminals on Prison Heaven Island to be executed, including that Old Madman.

When that Old Madman heard he was to be executed, he didn't cry or beg for mercy, but instead giggled, as if he had truly gone mad long ago.

An elder angrily proposed executing Li Tiangang as well and imprisoning Ji Qingqing on Prison Heaven Island again.

This proposal was agreed upon by many, but there were still those who opposed it, stating that although the child was dead, he was still the Ji Clan's Dao Seed, and he had passed away with the status of a Dao Seed.

Since that was the case, his parents were also of noble status. If they were executed or imprisoned just like that, it would be difficult to convince the public.

After a fierce debate, Ji Daoxin finally made the final decision.

Banish the couple from the Ji Clan, never to step foot in it again.

Li Tiangang was not killed because he was Li Hao's biological father. Moreover, the situation this time was complex, and Li Tiangang was not the direct culprit, which was why his life was spared.

But without Li Hao, they would definitely have to completely sever ties with Li Tiangang, an outsider.

Including Ji Qingqing, she was also stripped of her Ji Clan status. Although she wasn't the mastermind, she was the one who indirectly caused Li Hao's death.

In a situation where the Dao Seed was in trouble, not protecting the Dao Seed at the first opportunity was a great crime!

Time flew by.

A month had passed since the news of Li Hao's fall.

From the initial shock and discussion to now, it was only occasionally mentioned. This wasn't because they had forgotten, but because they didn't want to tear open that scar again.

Ji Daoxin and Ji Tianchao both personally went to the abyss, but seeing the silent blood lake below and the rampant Dao intent above, they were both silent.

No wonder the Third Ancestor didn't take action. With such Dao intent, even if they fell, they would have to shed a layer of skin and must struggle out immediately.

"Has the fortune of my Ji Clan withered..."

Ji Daoxin stood above the abyss, muttering to himself, his eyes dim and downcast.

He didn't expect that after finally producing a peerless Heaven's Pride, who was also a half-breed, like an unexpected joy, a gift from heaven, he would end up falling just like that.

Ji Tianchao remained silent. Compared to the child's talent, what he regretted wasn't this, but the brief time he had spent with the child, and the child's temperament...

He hadn't been able to fulfill his Third Brother's entrustment either. If Third Brother knew, he would definitely be very sad.

Deep in the blood lake, where the Great Dao was rampant.

A white skull, only the size of an infant's fist, was soaking in the blood.

Except for the skull, all other parts of the body had disappeared.

At this moment, reddish-gold light flickered in the skull from time to time.

The Sacrificial Spirit True Demon Art was circulating, still refining. Li Hao's consciousness was calm, and the wisps of power he absorbed from the blood lake were like threading a needle, constantly impacting that bottleneck.

Completely unaware of what time was, Li Hao couldn't stop for a moment, otherwise, eternal darkness would await him.

A few more days passed, and the skull was washed by the blood, shrinking even smaller, like a thumbnail.

Li Hao's consciousness became extremely weak, but he still didn't give up.

The white bone drifted, eroded smaller and smaller, finally like a soybean.

Li Hao's divine soul was shrunken inside, with nowhere left to go. He felt grief and anger in his heart and chose to burn his divine soul, absorbing the blood power in the blood lake at the maximum speed.

As the divine soul burned like a candle flame in that grain of white bone, the speed of absorption suddenly increased significantly.

With a *boom*, suddenly, that bottleneck was broken through.

A kind of unimaginable, vigorous vitality surged into the white bone.

Li Hao felt himself enter a mysterious state. He was very familiar with this feeling; entering other extreme realms was always like this.

Li Hao immediately understood that the bottleneck he had broken through was the Three Imperishables extreme realm! Although only a grain of white bone remained, Li Hao had a feeling that as long as he borrowed this unimaginably vigorous vitality, he could be reborn even if only a drop of blood remained! In addition to vigorous vitality, his divine soul also seemed to have obtained some kind of refinement, able to completely merge with this grain of white bone.

As long as a part of his body remained, there would be his divine sense in that remaining part, and with one thought, he could be reborn from a drop of blood!

Not dying, not decaying, not aging—this is the Three Imperishables.

Now, this extreme realm, Li Hao called it the Undying and Indestructible Realm! The Three Imperishables Realm is originally a realm for refining the physical body, so in the Undying Realm, one can inherit through divine blood. In the Indestructible Realm, one can roam among thousands of troops and horses, with an unbreakable treasure body, and in the Aging Realm, one can stimulate the secret power hidden in the physical body, erupting with infinite power in a short time.

This extreme realm is to temper the physical body to the extreme, containing the spirit in a drop of blood, and being reborn through divine sense! In other words, unless Li Hao is smashed to pieces and completely ground into ashes, he cannot be killed! Compared to the strong survival ability of the other three realms of the Three Imperishables, this is simply a qualitative improvement! At this moment, as Li Hao's thoughts turned, vigorous vitality erupted from the white bone, and the white bone grew rapidly, hair grew, and flesh and blood condensed.

In the blink of an eye, a head appeared in the blood lake.

But condensing to this point, Li Hao stopped.

Having reached the extreme realm, his control over his physical body was even more subtle.

He could feel that there were two extremely weak auras contained in his body.

And these two auras were precisely the bloodlines of Li Tiangang and Ji Qingqing.

He suddenly wanted to laugh.

Wind and snow filled the sky, and the youth was forced out of his home.

Holding the twin flowers high, he was smashed into the abyss by a broken chain.

That vine demon, who hadn't cared and had wrapped its tentacle around his little finger to hook pinkies, had quietly made an agreement with him never to leave each other.

That whisper that finally surged into his body, helping him approach the limit, had allowed him to be reborn!

He laughed, dispersing his power.

His body rotted rapidly, the white bones dissipated, and the newly formed head was ground away in the blink of an eye until only a drop of blood remained.

But even in this drop of blood, it contained those two bloodline auras, which were weak to the extreme.

Li Hao took a deep breath. He knew that what he was about to do was very risky; even doing it in the Undying and Indestructible Realm could lead to his demise.

But he still chose to do so.

"From now on, I am myself. With my heart, I see the heart of heaven; with the heart of heaven, I verify my heart!"

Li Hao's divine soul erupted, using his great will to sever the two auras in that drop of blood.

Completely split!

The split half-drop rapidly annihilated.

But this action was no less than suffering another heavy blow at this moment when he was on the verge of the desperate situation of a drop of blood!

Dying at any moment.

But Li Hao's will was unprecedentedly vigorous and unprecedentedly strong! His previously confused Dao Heart condensed at this moment.

Establishing the heart with heaven and earth! Casting bones with the mountains, rivers, and all things! Sculpting muscles with the sun, moon, and stars! Using supreme Dao intent as blood!! "I am the True Self; I am Haotian, the Supreme Sovereign!!"

Power like a collapsing mountain and a tsunami erupted from that half-drop of blood. The entire calm blood lake trembled and swayed at this moment, raising bursts of waves and undercurrents! That drop of blood was not eroded by the blood lake, and at this moment, it erupted with light to the extreme. The blood condensed, as if it had spirituality, winding and twisting. Using supreme Dao intent and will as blood, it rushed out of the blood lake! Above the abyss, endless radiance seemed to condense, and flesh and blood grew! Under the flesh and blood, white bones were reshaped, growing at extreme speed. Finally, in that chest cavity, a surging, beating heart condensed.

The youth's body, perfectly proportioned, slowly raised its head. An aura that stood together with heaven and earth radiated from his body!
