Chapter 508: The Ultimate Domain Revealed

This thought was pure, radiating a murderous demonic aura.

The Twin Buddha Child's Divine-Demonic Ultimate Domain coalesced again; his eye sockets turned crimson as the grotesque eight-armed, three-headed demonic manifestation rapidly fused with his body.

His cultivation path was to subdue this inner demon, completely refine it, suppress the demonic image with a Buddha heart, thereby achieving ultimate unity.

But at this very moment, to kill Li Hao and erase him, he chose to suppress his Buddha heart with the demonic image, drawing upon the residual power from its past life! The Buddhist light vanished; his entire body was engulfed by the demonic manifestation, and beneath the dimmed, radiant cassock, his skin turned crimson as a demon, covered in grotesque, burning scars.

As his body transformed, Li Hao arrived from the Return to Void and suddenly kicked out.

With a crash, the Twin Buddha Child's Divine-Demonic Ultimate Domain failed to block Li Hao—it was shattered by the Eternal Dao Domain, and he was kicked flying.

But as he struck the formation, his body continued to change; within the Divine-Demonic Ultimate Domain, a trace of demonic will emerged—this was Sacred Dao power.

Li Hao narrowed his eyes, then suddenly raised his hand and swung his sword.

The sword qi obeyed his will, cutting down everything within sight! Seeing the ultimate sword light reflected in his own crimson eyes, the Twin Buddha Child's pupils shrank slightly as he roared in fury, trying to block it—but the divine and demonic manifestations barely appeared before being cleaved apart like paper, utterly defenseless! The sword light struck the Twin Buddha Child directly, like ten thousand mountains descending, and with a crash, his body did not tear—it exploded outward! His mutated form instantly turned into a torrent of ink-like blood, splattering in all directions.

The golden divine blood within him, refined to the peak of divine power, was tainted by demonic energy and turned black.

On the vast battlefield, it was as if a bag filled with ink had suddenly burst—the ground turned black, stained in splattered patterns radiating outward.

The entire Canglan Realm seemed to fall silent in that instant.

Countless people, witnessing this sight, were stunned into speechlessness, their scalps prickling, as if their souls had flown out from the tops of their heads, their entire bodies covered in goosebumps.

The Twin Buddha Child was slashed to pieces by Li Hao's single sword strike?!

Chi Guang, the Holy Moon Disciple, and other top prodigies all turned pale, their eyes filled with deep shock.

This Hao Tian's sword Dao is terrifying—his Dao Domain even more so. It's unimaginable that someone at the Wen Dao Realm could cultivate to this level!

"Is the Twin Buddha Child dead?"

"He's a Saint reincarnated—how could he lose to Hao Tian's single sword?"

"When a Dao Domain is pushed to its extreme, it's this terrifying? It's absurd—just the Dao Domain alone is invincible!"

When they finally regained their senses, the crowd below erupted in stunned shouts, faces filled with awe.

On this Buddhist holy ground, the Saint reincarnated Buddha Child had been publicly slain—utterly unbelievable!

Yet the ink-stained blood on the battlefield was undeniably real.

"Why is the Twin Buddha Child's blood black? Has he fallen to the demonic path?"

"Compared to Hao Tian, the Twin Buddha Child seems more like a demon."

Gazing at the battlefield where only one figure stood, the crowd was filled with shock and doubt.

At that moment, a sudden transformation occurred on the arena.

The blood on the ground began to writhe rapidly, then a figure coalesced from within—it was the Twin Buddha Child.

But now, his entire body was crimson, faint horns protruding from his forehead, fangs barely visible at his lips, his gaze twisted and savage, radiating unrestrained, unchecked killing intent.

"Has the Buddha Child revived?"

"This… this is the legendary Three Imperishable Ultimate Domain—indestructible and immortal!"

"Yes! Rebirth from a single drop of blood—though not truly invincible at the Dao Law Realm, he is absolutely unkillable!"

The crowd was stunned—they never expected the Twin Buddha Child to possess this terrifying Ultimate Domain. Rumors said he had six Ultimate Domains; the tales were true.

"Rebirth from a single drop of blood…"

Chi Guang narrowed his eyes. His sect had long ago gathered secret information on the Twin Buddha Child—he knew the man had achieved the Three Imperishable Ultimate Domain. But he had never faced it himself. Though he'd heard of rebirth from blood, he didn't know if his own Flame Dao could burn away everything.

Yet now, judging by the Twin Buddha Child's displayed power, he feared he couldn't even force him into rebirth before being defeated.

The Divine-Demonic Domain had crumbled like paper under Li Hao's hands, but he could see its terrifying nature—if it were him, he might already be in mortal peril.

Whoosh! After his rebirth, the Twin Buddha Child's demonic manifestation vanished, but his demonic energy surged dozens of times stronger.

Li Hao frowned slightly, unshocked by the rebirth—he had already deduced this from the severed arm, knowing the man possessed the Three Imperishable Ultimate Domain.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have struck with such force.

After all, to avoid killing him outright, he had disabled all lethal attributes, fearing that if he accidentally triggered even one percent of the lethal attack, he'd kill him on the spot—and the Buddha Master would come for him.

His goal in cleaving the Twin Buddha Child apart was to block the Sacred Dao power within the demonic image from fusing with his body, to interrupt the process—but now it seemed that even with his body briefly destroyed, the power from the same source still merged seamlessly with him.

"You've driven me to this—truly, you are my calamity!"

"Die!!"

The Twin Buddha Child's eyes twisted with malice; without another word, he roared fiercely.

His demonic energy surged and trembled; the next instant, he vanished into the Return to Void and charged toward Li Hao.

Li Hao's eyes flickered—he subtly sensed the direction of the Return to Void, raised his sword, and prepared to slash at that spot.

As the Twin Buddha Child reappeared, a crimson sacred mark flashed in his eyes; time seemed to pause. Countless demonic thoughts, wailing like tormented souls, slammed into Li Hao's will. His vision was replaced by another scene: countless civilians dying in agony, like pages flipping rapidly through his memory, blindingly fast.

All of this happened in an instant, causing Li Hao's sword momentum to hesitate slightly.

"Outer Ultimate Six Directions—Pierce the Heart!"

The Twin Buddha Child struck suddenly; the power hidden within the demonic manifestation erupted. With a crash, a vast crimson lightning bolt split the void and struck Li Hao.

The sacred will within the crimson lightning shattered a crack in Li Hao's Eternal Dao Domain, striking his body directly.

His body exploded instantly, scattering into countless brilliant golden divine blood droplets across the sky.

This sudden counterattack left the crowd below frozen in shock.

The series of events since Li Hao and the Twin Buddha Child began fighting had left everyone's minds numb, unable to process what they saw.

Just moments ago, Li Hao had been dominating—now he was instantly obliterated, reduced to a spray of blood.

In the brief silence, a piercing scream shattered the air.

"Qingfeng!!"

Lin Lin Qingying, below the stage, lost her composure—her face drained of color in an instant.

She still instinctively called out Li Hao's former name—the Qingfeng that lingered in her memory.

Hearing the cry, everyone snapped back to reality, stunned and horrified.

Such a terrifying prodigy had just been killed on the spot!

Chi Guang stood frozen, staring at the golden divine blood scattered across the ground, unable to believe it.

Lin Lin Shuhai's eyes also flickered with surprise—he hadn't expected this.

The Holy Moon Disciple and other disciple prodigies stared wide-eyed in disbelief—Li Hao was dead? In this battle for spots, he had been killed!

"Buddha Child exterminates demons, defends the Dao!"

"The Buddha Child has finally slain that demon!"

"Demons deserve death—this is justice!"

As the Buddhist disciples recovered, they erupted in cheers, many chanting sutras, their expressions devout, faces filled with compassion and joy.

But on the stage, the Twin Buddha Child's eyes had just flickered with satisfaction—then he seemed to sense something, his brow furrowed, a trace of doubt appearing in his gaze.

"This boy… is extraordinary."

In the Buddha Hall, the Literary Saint sighed softly—the boy's prodigious talent left even him awestruck.

At that moment, the many golden divine blood droplets on the battlefield suddenly blazed with brilliant golden light.

Then, as if drawn by an invisible force, all the blood surged together—golden light flared, and a figure stood once more upon the battlefield.

The black longsword, fallen nearby, hummed once and flew autonomously back into the boy's palm.

With sword in hand, he gazed upon heaven and earth with supreme arrogance.

Seeing this transformation, the Buddhist disciples' cheers died instantly—their throats seemed clamped shut.

Their expressions of compassion froze, like statues in a temple, their smiles now eerily still.

Chi Guang and the others hadn't even begun to grieve for Li Hao—now they were stunned, then bewildered.

Rebirth from a single drop of blood?! Li Hao also cultivated the Three Imperishable Ultimate Domain?!

Li Hao raised his hand, summoned a set of clothes from his space, and quickly dressed himself. His gaze swept the crowd below, locking onto the green-robed woman whose face was blank, tears halfway down her cheeks—he gave her a reassuring look.

Then Li Hao turned to the Twin Buddha Child before him, observing his gloomy expression, and smiled lightly: "You seem out of moves."

That crimson lightning had contained the residual power of the Twin Buddha Child's past-life blood—but it was spent. It had pierced his Eternal Dao Domain and torn his body apart. Without that power, Li Hao had no more patience for words. As soon as he spoke, his body vanished.

Return to Void!

Boom! A sweeping kick lashed out, the shinbone striking like a steel rod against the Twin Buddha Son's abdomen, sending his body flying straight into the formation.

CRASH! A leg like a steel rod slammed into the Twin Buddha Child's abdomen, sending his body flying into the formation.

Then, again—Return to Void—stomp! Before his body had even landed from the impact, Li Hao appeared above him, raised his leg high, and brought it down like a giant axe, smashing onto his skull.

The kick shattered the Twin Buddha Child's skull into the ground, blood and flesh splitting open.

Li Hao then seized one of his legs and slammed it violently into the ground—CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

He repeated this over a dozen times—the battlefield trembled with each impact, the Twin Buddha Child's body like a ragged sack, spewing black blood with every blow.

After finishing, Li Hao hurled him into the air, then vanished with a Return to Void, reappearing above him, spun in a spiral, and delivered a sweeping kick that smashed him into the center of the battlefield.

The battlefield shook violently, leaving a massive crater—had the base not absorbed the shock, the Twin Buddha Child would have pierced straight through the Buddhist holy mountain to its very bottom.

Li Hao descended, planted his foot on the Twin Buddha Child's head, pinning his skull to the ground.

"You, a Buddha, cultivate demons—flashy tricks. Is this your cultivation?"

Li Hao pressed his foot against the back of the Twin Buddha Child's skull, gazing down with cold disdain:

"You reincarnated just for this moment?"

Hearing this, the Twin Buddha Child's mind reeled—he nearly spat blood.

Countless people in the Canglan Realm were dazzled by Li Hao's relentless counterattack; when they saw him standing atop the Saint reincarnate's head, uttering those words, they were stunned, dumbfounded.

To step on the head of a Saint reincarnate—so brazen—throughout history, there had never been another like him.

Below, Chi Guang watched, his face twitching slightly—he suddenly felt relieved. Thank goodness he hadn't provoked Li Hao too badly. Li Hao's promise to defeat him with one sword was actually fortunate—if he'd been publicly stomped like this, he'd never be able to show his face again.

The Holy Moon Disciple also felt a chill—he suddenly thought perhaps he should let the grudge go. He'd better not provoke this man again.

【101】 "Stop!"

On the other side, a furious roar suddenly rang out.

There, seated atop a green lion, the Buddhist Semi-Saint glared at Li Hao and shouted loudly.

Li Hao turned his head and saw the man's furious expression; he slightly raised an eyebrow, then lifted his hand slightly, making a motion like a casual shrug: "I didn't move my hand."

Seeing Li Hao's flippant demeanor, the Buddhist Semi-Saint nearly choked—Li Hao was currently standing on the Twin Buddha Son with his foot, so it truly had nothing to do with his "hands."

Seeing Li Hao's arrogant and dismissive reply, many laughed, especially disciples from other Sacred Sites, who held no affection for the Buddhist Sacred Site and now even wanted to burst into laughter.

"Take your foot off him!"

The Buddhist Semi-Saint's face turned icy. "Your actions, young master, even the Buddha would rage. Show mercy when you can—this humiliation is too much!"

"Compared to his intent to kill me, humiliation is trivial. If given the choice, would you choose death or humiliation?"

Li Hao spoke coldly, his foot unmoving, even pressing down slightly harder.

Once the undisputed top prodigy of the Canglan Realm, now crushed beneath his foot, unable to rise.

Seeing Li Hao step on the Buddha Son and casually reply to the Semi-Saint, that peerless figure was etched into countless minds.

Whether or not Li Hao cultivated demonic arts, such power and bearing left an indelible impression.

"You possess the Immortal Extreme, this was merely a friendly match—how can you speak of murder?"

The Buddhist Semi-Saint growled angrily: "Besides, you struck first with malice! Had he not possessed the Three Imperishable Extreme, you would have slain him outright!"

Li Hao smiled faintly: "He regrew his arm in an instant—I knew he had an Extreme, so I shattered his body to drain his strength. But he didn't know I possessed the Three Imperishable Extreme, yet he still struck with intent to crush me on the spot. Why didn't you shout 'stop' then?"

The Buddhist Semi-Saint fell momentarily silent, then snarled: "He acted with the heart of subduing demons! You cultivate demonic arts—allowing you to compete was already our great mercy. Don't push your luck!"

"He seeks to kill me, so it's the heart of subduing demons. I kill him, and it's malice? No wonder you've cultivated the Golden Body—you get all the advantages."

Li Hao sneered, tired of arguing, and lifted his foot—then stomped down again on the Twin Buddha Son's head.

Step by step, he crushed the Twin Buddha Son until blood spewed from his mouth.

He tried to resist, but he was trapped within Li Hao's Eternal Dao Domain—his entire body was powerless.

If Li Hao activated the domain's power, he could shatter his body again in an instant—this battle was utterly lost.

"You—you have no respect for anyone!"

The Buddhist Semi-Saint, shocked and furious, cried: "He's already defeated! Why won't you let him go? How cruel is your heart!"

"Is he defeated? Did you hear him beg or yield? Ask around—who heard him?"

Li Hao didn't lift his eyelids; his voice was flat and indifferent.

His foot did not stop—step by step, harder and harder.

Only the thudding impacts remained in the arena; all fell silent. The Buddha Son hadn't yielded, but clearly, he had no strength left to fight.

Yet since he hadn't yielded, the match wasn't over.

Seeing this, the Buddhist Semi-Saint could no longer hold back—he leapt from the green lion's back, waved his hand to open the formation, and instantly teleported before Li Hao.

His body towered, solemn and majestic, his eyes blazing like wrathful Vajra deities as he glared at Li Hao:

"I speak to you personally, yet you ignore me—you insult me!"

His face flushed with rage, nearly three meters tall, he loomed over Li Hao, blocking the sunlight, and spoke each word slowly: "Step aside!"

Li Hao lifted his head slightly, coldly: "If you think it insults you, then let it insult you. If you truly count it, you brought this upon yourself."

"Huh?!"

The Buddhist Semi-Saint's eyes widened in disbelief—the boy before him was this audacious? He didn't even bow before a Semi-Saint!

"Such arrogance! Though I am not a Saint, I have cultivated the Saintly Dao. Your disrespect toward the Saintly Will invites punishment—I'll teach you a lesson your elders should have!"

A sharp glint flashed in the Buddhist Semi-Saint's eyes; his entire body glowed with radiant Buddhist light, brilliant as dawn, his Saintly Dao will radiating—instilling in all present a desire to kneel and worship.

"It's Semi-Saint Jue Ming!"

"This demon disciple is too bold—even a Semi-Saint's words mean nothing to him!"

"Who's backing him? How dare he challenge a Semi-Saint with such confidence?"

Many Buddhist disciples' eyes gleamed, eager to see Semi-Saint Jue Ming crush Li Hao with a single palm and restore the Buddhist Sacred Site's honor.

To punish one who insults a Semi-Saint isn't bullying the young—it's at least justifiable.

Below the stage, Chan Tan and Ye Zu's expressions changed—they hadn't expected the Buddhist Semi-Saint to intervene directly; this scene was too disgraceful.

"Buddha Master, this seems inappropriate."

The Literary Saint glanced at the Buddha Master beside him, a flicker of admiration for Li Hao rising in his heart, and spoke up.

The Master Master Jian Sheng's expression remained calm; suddenly sensing something, he turned to his disciple, Bian Ru Xue—and saw her brows slightly twitching, as if emerging from sudden enlightenment.

Around her body, Dao resonance was thick, the surrounding temperature plummeting sharply. Such anomalies and changes—even his own Saintly Dao's natural manifestations—were affected, a clear sign of Dao entry.

"She's entered Dao through sudden enlightenment…"

The Master Master Jian Sheng's eyes gleamed—Dao entry in sword art? That was the level of Hao Tian.

Though her Ice-Snow Sword Dao didn't match his Dao of All Beings, nor the terrifying sword Dao the young man had just wielded, it was still Dao entry—placing her among the top tier of prodigies across the myriad heavens.

Most crucially, this disciple was still young, her path ahead long—she might even aspire to sacrifice Dao and become a Saint.

If she walked the Sacrifice Dao path, she wouldn't need the Extreme of Heavenly Manifestation to absorb worship.

After becoming a Saint, she could reincarnate and re-cultivate the Extreme, living a brilliant second life—far more stable.

With these thoughts, the Master Master Jian Sheng's mood lifted, a smile touching his lips.

The Buddha Master didn't answer the Literary Saint—he turned to the Master Master Jian Sheng instead:

"It seems your disciple gained much from this battle. Congratulations."

The Master Master Jian Sheng smiled faintly: "Buddha Master, you flatter me."
