Chapter 546: That Sword, Reflecting the Heavens (Minimum 4K addition 2)
Tian Wuji was shaken out of the Dharma Image, hitting the formation like a hanging painting and falling.
If it were earlier, Li Hao would have stopped here and would not have continued to pursue, which could be considered a spar ending at the point of contact.
But the other party intentionally came to ambush him, wanting to exclude him from the top 100 to humiliate him, so he returned the humiliation!
Boom! Without throwing another punch, Li Hao suddenly stepped out, and the Dharma Image stretched out an index finger, suppressing it like a towering giant peak, pressing down toward his physical body! "You!"
Tian Wuji climbed up from the ground, full of shock, his heart still staying in the shock of his Dharma Image being broken. At this moment, he saw Li Hao lift his finger and press down, that high and above disdainful posture, as if wanting to crush an ant to death.
He instantly felt the other party's arrogance and humiliation, his eyes turning a bit red, roaring and lifting his fist to smash out.
"Heavenly Desolate Breaking Void Fist!"
He wanted to roar, but in the sharp gale under that finger's suppression, the fierce wind poured back into his mouth like a sea wave, drowning his voice.
Boom.
The huge finger of the Heaven and Earth Dharma Image fell, drowning Tian Wuji's fist and body, suppressing them on the battle platform.
The ground vibrated violently, and then cracked. The shock wave spread outside the field, and the entire Sacred Mountain seemed to tremble slightly.
This scene was deeply imprinted in everyone's eyes, lasting for several seconds, before Li Hao's Dharma Image finger dissipated, and he also retracted the Dharma Image, floating down slowly from the air, looking clean, as if he hadn't spent much effort.
And opposite, it was a deep pit. Tian Wuji lay inside, the Dharma light on his robes extinguished, and he was covered in blood.
Although his fist method was strong, it ultimately couldn't make up for the gap in the Heaven and Earth Dharma Image, not to mention Li Hao's physical body reached the final stage, making the Dharma Image even more terrifying.
"Lost so fast!"
"Hun Tian Sacred Land's Tian Wuji actually lost too, and it wasn't suppressed by Haotian's Eternal Dao Domain, but suppressed by the Dharma Image!"
"Tian Wuji cultivated the Extreme Power Great Dao, physical cultivation to the extreme, under the Sage, power can be called invincible, actually lost in the power exchange?!"
"That Haotian's power is clearly better than his, I am afraid he is also a physical cultivation powerhouse. The Eternal Dao Domain is not his only means!"
Many people were shocked, not expecting this battle to be such a process. They still wanted to see the Eternal Dao Domain and the Extreme Power Great Dao, but that Haotian broke the Dharma Image with the Dharma Image, broke power with power, and the last finger even suppressed Tian Wuji, unable to move!
In the Upper Three Realms, Tian Wuji was also considered a top prodigy with extremely loud fame, louder than the Azure Qing Qing Lu Wang, with hope of competing for the top three, but now he had lost so miserably.
Li Hao looked at the other party coldly, without saying much.
No need to say much to the defeated general, which was the greatest contempt.
Tian Wuji climbed up from the ground. He was also a prodigy with a face, but now he had lost so miserably. Clearly, the other party didn't use the Dao Domain, equivalent to letting go of one hand!
As a result, under such circumstances, he still lost.
"I recognize your name!"
Tian Wuji's expression was ugly, and he didn't say any more harsh words. He had already lost, and saying harsh words would only make him look more embarrassed. After speaking, he turned and flew off the stage.
In the waiting area, the Azure Qing Qing Lu Wang of the same Hun Tian Sacred Land didn't feel shocked, just complex.
He knew that this was not the youth's true means.
The terror of that youth was far more exaggerated than everyone imagined. That was a monster wearing human skin, hidden under that skin was power enough to shock the Heavens! He swept his gaze toward Qiu Tianlv in another place, as well as Xiao Tianyu of the Seeing Yuanzu Sacred Land. Perhaps, only these few had a chance to force out his true face.
At this moment, following Li Hao's second victory, cheers erupted everywhere in the field. Throughout the Heavenly Origin Realm, countless discussions arose.
Seeing such fierce exchanges in the top 100 battle, this trip was absolutely worth it.
"Who else wants to measure?"
Li Hao stood with his hands behind his back on the stage, his eyes coldly scanning the waiting area.
Many prodigies saw the youth's disdainful and cold gaze, feeling a sense of sharpness piercing their backs, and didn't dare to meet his gaze.
Not angry but prestigious, the youth's slender figure stood there, but it was like a young god looking down on the universe, making people feel unable to look directly at him.
In the waiting area, the people who had discussed with Yan Qingchuan, Tian Wuji, and others to dampen the youth's prestige were silent at this moment, avoiding the other party's gaze.
If it were just the Eternal Dao Domain, they would still want to spar, but Li Hao's Dharma Image was also so terrifying. Even if they went on stage again, at most it would force the other party to combine the Dao Domain and Dharma Image. These two powers being displayed at the same time would also force them to the extreme, and they might not win.
They came here to compete for fame, so there was no need to act on impulse because they didn't like it.
In any case, the power Li Hao revealed at this moment was enough to match that fame.
After a brief silence, no one went on stage again, and the Sage of the Seeing Yuanzu Sacred Land immediately announced Li Hao's advancement.
Originally, they wanted to join forces to suppress Li Hao with a wheel battle, but Li Hao won too easily, and the third battle ended without a fight.
Tian Wuji and Yan Qingchuan didn't blame that person for being timid, because it truly had no meaning anymore.
Unless they truly took out their bottom-of-the-box skills, there was only a glimmer of possibility of winning.
But that was not the time to use it now.
Following Li Hao's advancement, the cheers of the whole field were like thunder. Throughout the Heavenly Origin Realm, countless discussions arose.
They had all heard of this Haotian's great name, but didn't expect it to be truly terrifying to this extent! Li Hao saw that no one came again, raised his eyebrows, didn't stay long, flew off the battle platform, and returned to his waiting area seat.
Lin Qingying cast a congratulatory shallow smile at him, and Li Hao returned a smile.
Bian Ruxue saw these two looking at each other, her brows couldn't help but furrow, and her slender hands clenched tightly.
Haoyue Holy Son also noticed this, and his expression also changed, looking ugly.
Following Li Hao going off the stage, the top 100 battle continued. The others who hadn't participated also made moves one after another.
And earlier, some Supreme disciples who hadn't gone on stage also went on stage to defend one after another after Li Hao went off the stage.
Many people saw that these people hadn't defended in advance, seeming to be waiting for something. Now they realized that they seemed to be waiting for Li Hao, all harboring the thought of wanting to challenge the other party, but following Li Hao's two battles, they all dispelled such thoughts.
Of course, dispelling such thoughts was not entirely because they felt they were not opponents, but just felt that winning would not be easy, and there was no need to fight to such a degree in this round.
Following the appearance of the Supreme disciples, the defense below fell into a cold situation where no one challenged.
Not long after, Yan Qingchuan and Tian Wuji also went on stage to defend. Seeing their strength, the other Holy Sons of the Sacred Lands who wanted to compete for the top 100 didn't make a move.
Li Hao was also too lazy to learn from them to challenge and block. After all, he had to defeat all three rounds to exclude them from the top 100. Even if he won, he could only block one round, which had no meaning.
Seeing Li Hao didn't go on stage to challenge, Yan Qingchuan and Tian Wuji felt a secret sigh of relief in their hearts. If Li Hao came to challenge again, they would inevitably lose again. Although it wouldn't affect their advancement, losing to the same person twice would inevitably make them lose face.
"That guy, really 28 years old? I feel like he couldn't cultivate it even in two hundred years."
"Sword Dao, extreme realm, physical body tempering, how did he do it?"
"Could it be that he started cultivating from an infant?"
"That's not enough either. Those Sage reincarnations can be said to have started cultivating from their previous lives, and they can't compare."
Yan Qingchuan and Tian Wuji were also scared by Li Hao's sword, not expecting the other party to hide such a big killer weapon when fighting them, which was a bit exaggerated.
And, they didn't know if Li Hao had other means that hadn't been used. Was this the other party's true limit? After all, until now, no one had been able to force out the combination of the other party's Dao Domain, Dharma Image, and the peerless sword Dao just now.
Not long after, Yan Qingchuan and Tian Wuji also went on stage.
But their exchange, although fierce, made those who had seen Li Hao and Bai Yuan's battle earlier unable to get excited.
Finally, Yan Qingchuan won with a slight advantage.
Not long after, the first round of exchanges ended, followed by the second round of selection.
This time, what made people surprised was that Li Hao's matched opponent was actually Lin Zhuo.
Another personal disciple.
"What kind of luck does this Haotian have, how can he encounter Supreme Sage personal disciples every time?!"
"Could it be some kind of inside story? Could it be that the Sacred Lands of the major Supreme Sages are secretly uniting to suppress him?"
"Impossible, right? It's just an accident. They had the intention to suppress him in the top 100 battle earlier, but this random matching can't be fake."
Many people were discussing, but more tended to trust the Supreme Sages. Li Hao was strong, but after all, he was only in the Dao Law Realm, a small character. It was exaggerated enough to let a Supreme Sage target him, but letting many Supreme Sages unite to target him would make people laugh their teeth off if it were said.
Li Hao was also a bit surprised. Was this luck? He raised his eyebrows slightly and couldn't help but look at the Buddha Venerable.
The Buddha Venerable's gaze was indifferent, looking at the battlefield, not paying attention to Li Hao like in the top 100 battle.
Li Hao withdrew his gaze. Could it be that he was overthinking? However, regardless, even if it was some kind of unknown means, even if he encountered all the Supreme Sage disciples of the Heavens, he didn't care.
In any case, coming here was to compete for first place. Since that was the case, sooner or later he would have to defeat everyone to take the first place in the Heavens, it was just a matter of sooner or later.
Soon, the second round of exchanges began.
Following the battles one after another, not long after, it was Li Hao and Lin Zhuo's turn to exchange.
Li Hao didn't wait long and still walked toward the battle platform like before.
And Lin Zhuo, unlike Bai Yuan, didn't appear slowly, but appeared immediately after Li Hao went on stage.
(End of chapter)
This difference allowed Li Hao's survival capability to improve by another notch.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Countless people swarmed once again, gathering at the top of the Shengshan, taking their positions in advance and sitting down in their respective seating areas.
Li Hao and the other rogue cultivators, along with the Holy Sons from various realms who had advanced to the Top 100, also arrived in the waiting area.
Upon seeing Li Hao arrive, many still looked toward him with solemn expressions.
Previously, in the Top 100 battles, they could choose whether to challenge or not, but in this competition for the Top 10, there were only ten spots, making clashes inevitable and beyond their own control.
Besides Li Hao, there were other disciples of the Supreme Saints whom others also wished to avoid, but the challenges were random, depending purely on luck.
Following the arrival of Li Hao and the other contestants, the Sages from various realms also restrained their auras and descended to this place.
As for the Sages invited by the Seeing Yuanzu Holy Land, they revealed their auras, with various phenomena appearing, sitting majestically between heaven and earth, each occupying their own side; the entire sky seemed to be carved into separate regions, each with different phenomena.
Li Hao scanned toward the Buddha Venerable and the Void Sage, seeing that they were looking down indifferently, seemingly not paying him much attention.
Li Hao frowned slightly, a feeling of unease rising in his heart instead.
The two Heaven and Earth treasures contributed by the other party were right before his eyes, and the incense for becoming a Sage was also within reach; it would be strange if the other party could truly sit so calmly.
However, this was the Tianyuan Realm, and under the eyes of the Supreme Saints, the other party should not dare to rashly make a move against him.
Moreover, with Master Feng watching over him, he could block any attack, and given his current strength, he would not be killed instantly by a Sage; it would take some effort to kill him.
Shaking his head, Li Hao withdrew his thoughts and stopped dwelling on it.
At this moment, as the Boundary Stone projection lit up, the selection for the Top 10 of the Top 100 competition officially began.
As the tokens of Li Hao and the other Top 100 were gathered and screened amidst the storm, the opponents for the first round were quickly matched and appeared in the sky.
"Hmm?"
Upon seeing his first opponent, Li Hao raised his eyebrows; it was none other than Bai Yuan, the Holy Son of the Famous School who had been the first to fight in the Top 100 battles! His earlier words, "I ask the heavens for guidance," were enough to show he was no simple character.
Bai Yuan also noticed that his opponent was Li Hao. He was slightly stunned, but a smile soon appeared on the corner of his mouth as he looked toward Li Hao.
But after checking his opponent's token, Li Hao scanned the tokens of acquaintances like Lin Qingying to see their opponents and battle situations, hoping they could go further.
Seeing that Li Hao had not noticed him, Bai Yuan raised his eyebrows but didn't mind; he hadn't stepped onto the stage during Li Hao's defensive battle earlier because he didn't want to take advantage of someone else's situation.
Although the power revealed by the Eternal Dao Domain and the Dharma Form was extremely strong, it did not dampen his fighting spirit; instead, he felt a sense of excitement.
At the same time, many people were searching for the matching information of popular championship contenders like Li Hao, and upon seeing that Li Hao was matched against Bai Yuan, the leader of the Famous School's Holy Sons, they exclaimed in surprise.
These two were both favorites to win, yet they had clashed early! Compared to Bai Yuan and Li Hao, the luck of the other Supreme Saint disciples was relatively better; they hadn't encountered other Supreme Saint disciples but rather Holy Sons from other holy lands, so their initial advancement would clearly be very easy.
The only relatively strong matchup was between Tian Wuji and Yan Qingchuan, who had been matched against each other.
But compared to the match between Li Hao and Bai Yuan, the appeal was clearly inferior.
"Li Hao's luck is too bad, isn't it? During the defensive battle, there were people trying to intercept him, and those Supreme Saint disciples didn't like him, and now he's encountered another one!"
"To encounter Bai Yuan in the very first battle—this Bai Yuan has a huge reputation in the Famous School Holy Land and is a rival comparable to Qiu Tianlv!"
"I heard that the Green Qing Qing Lu Wang once challenged Bai Yuan but was defeated by him in three moves."
"Li Hao's luck is too poor. Other Supreme Saint disciples at worst encounter those from the Middle Nine Realms, yet he actually encounters a Supreme Saint disciple. By the way, this is his third battle, and it seems they are all Supreme Saint disciples!"
Many people were discussing, shaking their heads at Li Hao's bad luck, but this did not stop their words from revealing excitement.
After all, they were here to watch the battles, and being able to see such an intense fight was exactly what they wanted.
Lin Qingying, the Haoyue Holy Son, Chi Guang, and others looked toward Li Hao, only to see that Li Hao's expression was indifferent, seemingly without any worry.
A trace of worry appeared in Lin Qingying's eyes, but seeing Li Hao's calm demeanor, she felt relieved. Having been in contact with Li Hao for so long, she had never seen him anxious; the only time he truly changed color was when facing the Sage of the Buddhist Sect.
"It seems it's time for us to decide who is better."
On the other side, Tian Wuji looked toward Yan Qingchuan, fighting spirit appearing in his eyes.
Yesterday's temporary alliance was just a whim of their circle; today's clash would naturally be a struggle with all their might.
Yan Qingchuan's expression was indifferent, and he nodded slightly, but his gaze turned toward the youth, light appearing in his eyes.
He knew Bai Yuan was no simple character; he wondered if he could force the youth to the level of using his Dao Domain Dharma Form.
As the first battle began, the Sage of the Seeing Yuanzu Holy Land announced the first contestants; Li Hao was familiar with one of them—it was Qing Jiu.
After stepping onto the stage, he looked at Li Hao and showed a helpless expression, then withdrew his gaze and looked seriously at his opponent.
His opponent was the Haoyue Holy Son.
As the opening battle of the Top 100, this fight was undoubtedly highly anticipated. The Haoyue Holy Son stopped thinking too much and became focused after stepping onto the stage.
As the magic array solidified, the two did not know each other, and the Haoyue Holy Son didn't bother with nonsense. Qing Jiu, however, seemed to have a desire to express himself, saying, "Three moves. Within three moves, I will end the battle!"
Hearing this, the Haoyue Holy Son was so angry he laughed; he didn't want to put on airs, but the other party was putting on airs in front of him.
"Then let me wait and see."
He sneered. As he spoke, his Ultimate Realm suddenly unfolded. Although people had challenged him during the previous Top 100 advancement, they hadn't been able to force out his true power.
At this moment, his Five Ultimate Realms were revealed. He drew his sword, the blade brilliant, and a dazzling golden and silver radiance appeared in his eyes, reflecting each other.
Qing Jiu's eyes were slightly surprised; he hadn't expected the other party to have such ability.
But he was not nervous and also erupted with his full strength.
Besides the Five Ultimate Realms, there was a sixth Ultimate Realm: Rebirth from a Drop of Blood.
To cultivate this Rebirth from a Drop of Blood, one way was like Li Hao, first cultivating the Immortal Transformation Ultimate Realm and storing one's consciousness in heaven and earth; the other was relying on a Sage within one's sect to store one's consciousness in the Sage's Holy Dao.
Qing Jiu relied on his Master's help to cultivate this Ultimate Realm, but this realm didn't increase combat power much; it only super-enhanced survival.
Besides the Ultimate Realm, Qing Jiu's true confidence came from his own technique and power.
Bang! He suddenly thrust his spear and also erupted with his Dao Body.
"Daluo Dao Body!"
Qing Jiu gave a low shout, his entire body surging with Dao rhyme, and the spear in his hand actually swirled with two types of Dao-level auras!
Just this move made many people's eyes light up, revealing shock.
The Haoyue Holy Son's expression changed slightly, becoming somewhat solemn. His Sun-Moon Divine Eyes gathered, trying to see through the spear technique. Qing Jiu stepped out with the Return to Ruins, and the two quickly engaged in a fierce battle.
In the void, spear shadows were like lightning, and the Haoyue Holy Son's sword intent, having just touched the shadow of the Dao, was instantly crushed.
"What a pity for such a good pair of eyes!"
Qing Jiu suddenly thrust his spear; one spear contained two types of Dao power, impossible to dodge or avoid. It hit instantly, and the Haoyue Holy Son fell defeated from mid-air.
Qing Jiu did not pursue and stood with his spear retracted.
In this battle, Qing Jiu won, revealing powerful strength capable of challenging the Top 10, and many people remembered him.
Li Hao looked at the Haoyue Holy Son, who had fallen with a gray and gloomy expression, and couldn't help but shake his head. The other party wanted to cultivate the Sun-Moon Great Dao, using the sun and moon to reflect heaven and earth, yet also wanted to sever emotions and desires to fit the ruthlessness of heaven and earth.
But heaven and earth are not ruthless; on the contrary, they are sentimental.
That is why autumn passes and spring comes, and flowers wither and bloom again.
When winter snow buries all things, spring will arrive.
Flowers grow until they wither, and in the coming year, they will be reborn under the light of spring.
The tenderness of heaven and earth cares for all things, like spring rain moistening silently. When the birds and beasts of spring trample flowers and grass recklessly, there will be summer rain, autumn frost, and winter snow, letting birds perch on branches and beasts hibernate—is this not also a kind of warm protection?
Thinking of this, light appeared slightly in Li Hao's eyes. Now he had his own understanding of all living things and heaven and earth. This feeling at this moment made him faintly approach his inner origin once again.
The first battle ended, but the performances of the Haoyue Holy Son and Qing Jiu were considered standard. Qing Jiu was a pleasant surprise, and the Haoyue Holy Son's performance was worthy of his Top 100 strength.
Afterward, others took the stage one after another.
As the clashes proceeded, Li Hao saw that Lin Qingying had also won. Her opponent came from another small world, with strength slightly inferior to Haoyue, and was easily defeated by her.
"It's about to be Li Hao's turn!"
"Has it finally come, this showdown?"
Many people were watching the order of the stage. Although the previous battles were exciting, in their hearts, they viewed the match between Li Hao and Bai Yuan as the finale.
At this moment, it had finally arrived.
Although there were others fighting afterward, this match was undoubtedly the most anticipated.
Upon hearing the call from the Sage of the Seeing Yuanzu Holy Land, Li Hao did not delay and stood up to walk toward the battle stage.
After he took the stage, Bai Yuan from the other side set off, walking toward the battle stage unhurriedly.
As the magic array sealed the area, this contest began.
"I thought I wouldn't encounter you until after the Top 10 battles. I didn't expect to meet you here. It's truly exciting!"
Bai Yuan smiled lightly, but compared to his previous slightly frivolous smile, he was now much more serious.
After all, Li Hao's previous performance was enough to be worthy of the title of Heaven's Pride, and he could not be underestimated.
If he were to be underestimated, it would be a disrespect to his cultivation.
"……Hmm."
Li Hao didn't know how to respond, so he just gave a sound.
Bai Yuan laughed, but his smile suddenly vanished, and he slowly drew the sword in his hand. Although he used a sword, he had not apprenticed at the Sword Ancestor Holy Land.
Although the Sword Ancestor Holy Land was the place most yearned for by swordsmen in the world, other holy lands also had sword Dao manuals; it was just a matter of quantity.
"Let me witness your integration of Dao Domain and Dharma Form!"
Bai Yuan said, and then his strength suddenly climbed. Heaven and Earth Veins gathered behind him, and immediately after, a towering Heaven and Earth Dharma Form appeared.
He erupted with full power right from the start!
He knew that if he didn't bring out his true skills, there was no need to fight in front of Li Hao; that Eternal Dao Domain could not be underestimated.
Li Hao watched quietly; to see his power, one must have the corresponding qualifications.
As Bai Yuan's aura climbed, a Dao Domain also appeared outside his body. The number of these Dao Domains reached 118! These Dao Domains were woven and overlapped, turning into a brilliant golden Imperial Dao Domain!
"The world knows my name; the more people who know my name, the stronger I become!"
The Famous School's cultivation mainly focuses on striving for fame; fame is the source of power for their cultivation. Just as the Stealing Heaven Holy Land steals things to increase power, the Famous School finds ways to seize fame. That is why Bai Yuan was the first to take the stage yesterday and say that domineering slogan; everything was to build his fame.
This time, the duel with Li Hao was exactly what he wanted. Regardless of winning or losing, this battle would surely be highly anticipated. If he could win, he would become famous throughout the heavens, stepping on the other party to make a name for himself! As the Imperial Dao Domain was revealed, a dignified and noble aura erupted from his body. Bai Yuan merged his body into the Dharma Form, and from the palm of the Dharma Form, he condensed an Imperial Divine Sword formed by the laws of the Famous School! This sword was vast and powerful, like an ancient emperor awakening, wanting to split heaven and earth.
Facing such power, countless people off the stage changed color.
In the previous Top 100 battles, the Holy Sons of various parties were intimidated by Bai Yuan's reputation and did not go to challenge him. Except for those from the Upper Three Realms who had heard of his strength, people from other heavens only knew he was a Supreme Saint disciple, but now, they truly witnessed the power of this Bai Yuan! It was even more terrifying and fierce than Yan Qingchuan and Tian Wuji yesterday! "Fame is nothing but a burden; casting it aside is your true self!"
Li Hao's expression was calm. Looking at the other party's Heaven and Earth Dharma Form with imperial power, he shook his head; this was far from the Dao in his heart.
Sages only cultivate their own Dao and firmly believe that their own Dao is the strongest in the heavens. If it is not, then it is only because they failed to comprehend the root.
Li Hao also believed in his own Dao; only his own Dao was the Great Dao! Without this belief, it would be impossible to cultivate to become a Sage, and impossible to condense the Holy Dao!
And under this belief, he couldn't help but feel a sense of contempt for this Holy Dao that contradicted his own Dao thoughts.
"Empty shell; that is only what the heavens have bestowed upon you, not what is truly your own!"
Li Hao raised his hand, but he didn't use his Dao Domain; instead, he summoned "Gongming" (Merit and Fame) from the heaven and earth space.
"This sword is named 'Gongming'; I will use 'Gongming' to break your fame!"
Li Hao's eyes suddenly became sharp and brilliant, and intense light erupted from them. He didn't reveal his Dao Domain, nor did he show his Heaven and Earth Dharma Form; only the youth's body stood in the field, his robes fluttering.
Only the Heaven and Earth Veins appeared behind him, drawing in the vast energy between heaven and earth to condense into himself.
"You want to break my Dao with a sword?!"
Seeing Li Hao's actions, Bai Yuan's original fighting spirit turned cold and sharp. Feeling insulted, he said in a low voice:
"Then don't blame me for accidentally killing you!!"
As he spoke, his Heaven and Earth Dharma Form erupted with extreme light, and the Imperial Divine Sword in his hand bloomed with ten thousand feet of golden light, as if illuminating the clouds in the sky into golden clouds, and he suddenly swung the sword down to suppress Li Hao.
And at this moment, Li Hao also raised the sword in his hand.
That towering Dharma Form and that Imperial Divine Sword with heavy pressure seemed like a scene, a painting, in his eyes.
And what he had to do was tear up this painting he didn't like.
My Sword Dao, I alone am supreme!!
Bang!!
A dazzling sword light reflected out. In an instant, it seemed to illuminate heaven and earth, making the eyes of countless people in the audience seem to be flashed by some kind of light.
That shocking sword light was swung from Li Hao's hand, growing with the wind, and in an instant, it turned into ten thousand feet, directly slashing onto the golden Imperial Divine Sword.
That was a Dharma Form divine sword, containing a hundred times the power, as well as Bai Yuan's sword Dao will.
But at this moment, it was cut off by one sword! My Sword Dao had absorbed many sword Daos. If Yan Qingchuan used three types of Dao methods to enter the Dao yesterday, then Li Hao's My Sword Dao had already absorbed countless types of sword Daos.
Only by reading through many sword Daos can one slash them! And only by reading through the style of the heavens, yet still having only my sword, can it be called true "My Sword," without losing the original heart of the sword Dao!
A rumbling sound rang out. That sword was lifted from bottom to top, the sword light ten thousand feet long, not only cutting off the Imperial Divine Sword but also cutting off the huge Dharma Form behind the divine sword, splitting it in two! The Dharma Form shattered, but the sword light didn't stop, crashing directly into the magic array. This magic array condensed by the Sage actually emitted a rumbling vibration.
If it were a quota battle in a small world's holy land, just a magic array condensed by a Half-Sage, it would be directly split and cut off under this sword!
And at this moment, even the magic array condensed by a Sage vibrated under this sword. This scene caused the entire Tianyuan Realm to fall into silence.
Countless people off the stage widened their eyes, staring fixedly at the field, staring at that ultimate scene that was like a slow-motion masterpiece! That sword light was invincible, as if containing ten thousand sword Daos, with only one ultimate intent of slashing!
Slashing everything, destroying everything; except for the indestructible Holy Dao, it seemed unstoppable!! Seeing this sword, many Holy Sons and Holy Daughters who had advanced to the Top 100 in the waiting area also lost their voices, staring blankly, somewhat stunned and dazed.
Qiu Tianlv, dressed in white like silk, also had his expression change slightly.
Lin Zhuo, who had previously wanted to challenge Li Hao, had his pupils contract, revealing horror.
The Haoyue Holy Son was somewhat lost. Under that sword, he felt that even if he cultivated the Sun-Moon Divine Sword and reflected heaven and earth, he would still be cut off! So, there was such a terrifying sword; even heaven and earth could not resist it! Bian Ruxue was stunned, feeling as if the blood in her whole body had frozen, and she had even forgotten to breathe. In this sword, she seemed to see the shadow of that ultimate sword in a trance!
So, the thing she was pursuing was actually in the hands of that Brother Hao?!
She suddenly felt her heart beating wildly, and her eye sockets turned slightly red.
Besides them, the many Sages sitting in the four directions also had their eyes become solemn.
They could see that this sword was terrifyingly powerful; except for the Holy Dao, there should be nothing that could block or suppress it.
"This little guy's sword..." The Sword Master was slightly stunned, seeing the power condensed in that sword; it was definitely not one kind of sword Dao, but a kind of unprecedented sword Dao condensed after slashing through many sword Daos.
This sword Dao was powerful and terrifying; in front of it, all sword Daos seemed to lose their luster and fade away.
Including the Heaven and Earth Sword Dao he cultivated! The Sword Master stared deeply at the youth. Previously, his liking for Li Hao was due to his temperament, and although he knew his talent was extremely high, as a Sage, he had already cultivated to the peak and had his own path to walk; no matter how monstrous others' talents were, it couldn't affect him. But now, he felt amazed, and even his own sword Dao was affected.
Every swordsman is pursuing the strongest sword, and now, that strongest sword seems to be held in the youth's hand, held in the youth's heart!
That is the sword Dao that belongs only to him, I alone am supreme!
This is the ultimate of sword Dao...
Slashing everything, destroying everything, until the origin of sword Dao!
As the sword Qi surged on the magic array and slowly dissipated, the silent audience seemed to gradually melt like ice and snow, followed by a series of near-screaming gasps.
Everyone was shocked, feeling horrified and scalp-tingling excitement. What kind of sword technique was that? And what kind of power was that! At this time, no one looked at the defeated Bai Yuan again; the eyes of the whole audience were focused on the youth, focused on his hands.
And Li Hao casually made a sword flourish and put away "Gongming."
For him, this battle was over.
Opposite, Bai Yuan fell from the Dharma Form but didn't crash. However, his Dharma Form was forcibly broken, and his power dissipated; although he still had Heaven and Earth Veins to gather, it would take time.
And Li Hao didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue at this moment, which was enough to show he had shown mercy.
Bai Yuan landed on the ground, but his eyes were dazed. He stared blankly at the youth opposite.
In his mind, he suddenly recalled the number on the Bone Mirror.
28 years old...
Is this something a 28-year-old can cultivate?! Bai Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, feeling despair and lament for the first time. He suddenly understood why some guys would show despair when they saw him; it turned out to be such a feeling.
This is a feeling of wanting to catch up but never being able to.
"What Dao do you cultivate?"
Bai Yuan thought of Li Hao's previous words and couldn't help but ask.
If it were just cultivation, it would be impossible to have such speed unless the other party's Dao was different.
"Still exploring, the Dao that belongs to me," Li Hao said calmly.
Bai Yuan was stunned. The Dao that belongs to himself?
A trace of confusion appeared in his eyes. Could it be that his own Dao was flawed? Otherwise, why was he, already famous throughout the heavens, not a match for a 28-year-old little guy?
His eyes were lonely; he didn't say anything more and turned to leave the stage dejectedly.
In this battle, Li Hao won.
Accompanied by the announcement of the Seeing Yuanzu Holy Land, countless people cheered. Although they knew the result, after the announcement, the previously suppressed excitement erupted at this moment.
Too strong! Is this the monstrous talent who left his name in the heavens?!
Three battles, three wins, all against Supreme Saint disciples, and he used three different types of power!
Previously, everyone knew Li Hao's Dao Domain was strong and was an Ultimate Realm. Later, they learned his Dharma Form power was even more terrifying, able to suppress the Supreme Saint disciple of the Huntian Holy Land. Now, Li Hao's sword Dao was even more terrifying and eye-catching.
From fist to sword, to Dao Domain, it seemed there were no flaws, no shortcomings!
Moreover, all of them were cultivated to the peak level; he was simply an impeccable monster!
Countless people were cheering, and the entire Tianyuan Realm was boiling. The name "Haotian" thoroughly resounded from then on, making everyone remember and recognize this youth who left his name in the heavens.
Li Hao saw wisps of incense power floating over and gathering on him.
With this battle over, even without the incense of being number one, he believed that with his current reputation, it wouldn't be long before he could attract countless spontaneous incense offerings!
Li Hao left the stage, returned to his seat in the waiting area, and waited for the second battle.
In this Top 100 competition for the Top 10, each person needs ten rounds of battle. Winning earns one point. They are ranked according to points. If there are more than ten people, they continue to compete; if there are fewer, they are ranked by points.
"That guy, is he really 28 years old? I feel like even 200 years wouldn't be enough to cultivate that."
"Sword Dao, Ultimate Realm, physical tempering—how did he do it?"
"Could it be he started cultivating from infancy?"
"That wouldn't be enough either. Those reincarnated Sages, who can be said to have started cultivating from their previous lives, can't compare either."
Yan Qingchuan and Tian Wuji were also frightened by Li Hao's sword. It turned out that when the other party fought them, he was still hiding such a big killer weapon; it was a bit exaggerated.
Moreover, they didn't know if Li Hao had other means he hadn't used, and if this was the other party's true limit.
After all, until now, no one had been able to force out the other party's Dao Domain Dharma Form and the ultimate sword Dao just now.
Not long after, Yan Qingchuan and Tian Wuji also took the stage.
But although their clash was fierce, those who had seen Li Hao's battle with Bai Yuan were no longer excited.
In the end, Yan Qingchuan won with a slight advantage.
Not long after, the first round of clashes ended, followed by the second round of selection.
This time, surprisingly, the opponent Li Hao was matched with was Lin Zhuo.
Another direct disciple.
"What kind of luck does this Haotian have? Why does he always encounter Supreme Saint disciples?!"
"Could it be some kind of inside story? Could it be that the holy lands of the various Supreme Saints are secretly uniting to suppress him together?"
"Impossible, right? It's just an accident. They did intend to suppress him in the previous Top 100 battles, but this random matching can't be faked."
Many people were discussing, but more tended to trust the Supreme Saints. Although Li Hao was strong, he was only in the Dao Method Realm, a small character. It was already exaggerated enough for one Supreme Saint to target him; for many Supreme Saints to unite to target him, it would be something to make people laugh their heads off.
Li Hao was also a bit surprised. Was this a matter of luck? He raised his eyebrows slightly and couldn't help but glance at the Buddha Venerable.
The Buddha Venerable's gaze was indifferent, looking at the battlefield, not paying attention to Li Hao like in the Top 100 battles.
Li Hao withdrew his gaze. Could it be that he was overthinking? However, regardless, even if it were some unknown means, even if he encountered all the Supreme Saint disciples of the heavens, he wouldn't care.
Anyway, he came here to fight for first place. Since that was the case, sooner or later he would have to defeat everyone to take the number one spot in the heavens; it was just a matter of time.
Soon, the second round of clashes began.
As the previous battles went on, not long after, it was Li Hao and Lin Zhuo's turn to clash.
Li Hao didn't wait long and, just like before, walked onto the battle stage.
But Lin Zhuo was not like Bai Yuan, who appeared slowly; as soon as Li Hao took the stage, he followed immediately.
