Chapter 552: Becoming a Saint Through Sacrifice

~38 min read 7,561 words

As the Dao bones shattered, the many laws of power previously condensed within were released, their aura so intense it was shocking.

Combined with the many laws within the Eternal Dao Domain, they overlapped with one another. In an instant, these thread-like laws seemed to twist into a single rope, powerful enough to shake the Saint Dao! Accompanied by a sword strike piercing the void, this strike that surpassed the peak connected heaven and earth, erupting with unparalleled, brilliant light that pushed back and covered the sky-filling Buddha light! "That sword strike..."

In the crowd, Bian Ruxue, whose figure was peerless yet appeared extremely insignificant at this moment, looked up at that extremely brilliant sword strike.

That sword strike seemed eternal, reflected in her clear eyes.

She caught a glimpse of it: the peak of the Sword Dao, the true ultimate sword strike! Surpassing the Saint Dao, surpassing technique, it was like a stroke of divine inspiration, a celestial flight—a peak sword strike that could neither be described nor understood! That was an Immortal descending to the mortal world!!

This sword momentum enveloped the entire Holy Mountain, actually splitting the suppressing Buddha palm right open!

Previously, when Li Hao and Feng Master Feng Bo Ping tested this sword move, they only used their true bodies and did not exert their full strength. But at this moment, by invoking the myriad star veins, adding the Immortal Transformation Extreme Realm, and executing it with the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form, its power increased more than a hundredfold! With a 'Boom—', the Buddha light suddenly extinguished, and all the golden flames in the sky were swept away by that sword strike.

The Saint Dao within that Buddha palm vibrated and was repelled, unable to descend.

At this moment, the entire Heavenly Origin Realm fell silent.

Countless eyes stared at the youth standing amidst the Dharma Form that was constantly collapsing and reforming.

The youth was bathed in blood, standing in heaven and earth, yet he remained unyielding, like an undefeated Sword God!

In the waiting area, Xiao Tianyu, Qiu Tianlü, and others, including the Twin Buddha Children, all had their pupils contract, their faces revealing expressions of shock.

This power exceeded their cognition!

Previously, they thought that the combination of the Dharma Form, sword technique, and Extreme Realm, plus the sixth Extreme Realm Li Hao revealed, was his full power.

But they did not expect that he was still holding back! They could vaguely feel that the stars in the heavens were brighter at this moment than they had been in the past.

Under the pressure of the Saint, it seemed that only the stars accompanied him, flickering for him.

A look of shock appeared in the Buddha Venerable's eyes, and the Void Saint beside him also had his expression change drastically, a trace of horror appearing in his eyes. Compared to when he pursued and killed him with an avatar ten years ago, had this youth already grown to such a terrifying degree?

This already surpassed the level below a Saint. If he were a First-Calamity Saint, he might even have his Saint Dao severed by this very sword strike! After all, a First-Calamity Saint only survives the Human Tribulation; the Saint Dao has not yet condensed enough to withstand the tests of heaven and earth.

"Daring to resist, three thousand Buddha Daos, suppress for me!"

The shock in the Buddha Venerable's eyes instantly turned into solemnity. He knew he could not give Li Hao another chance to perform, otherwise, if a Supreme Saint were moved and chose to intervene, all his efforts would be wasted! He suddenly raised his hand, his entire body shining with Buddha light, the merit wheel behind his head emitting brilliant golden flames, and he raised his hand to suppress Li Hao once more.

And this time, he used his own Buddha Dao Saint Domain! This was a method only used when fighting peers of the same realm.

Accompanied by a rumbling sound, it seemed as if a millstone was grinding the void of heaven and earth, and the Great Dao itself showed signs of perishing.

Facing the Buddha Venerable's fury, Li Hao stood in the void, coldly meeting his gaze. Although the myriad star veins were rapidly pouring power into his body, that last sword strike had not only consumed his own strength but had also nearly drained his Heaven and Earth Dharma Form! At this moment, even with the myriad star veins and the Heaven and Earth veins gathering simultaneously, the power felt like a drop in the bucket.

But regardless, he had done it.

As he had said, even if he were an ant, if one wanted to crush him, they would have to prick their own hand!

Watching the descending palm print, Li Hao felt that time seemed to slow down suddenly at this moment, becoming extremely sluggish.

He seemed to feel a gentle breeze brushing past him.

The light reflected by the myriad stars in the sky was continuously gifting him power.

Even after striving to this degree, was he still unable to escape death?

Is the Heavenly Dao unfair?

Li Hao did not lament, did not feel sorrow; instead, it felt as if a layer of clothing had been stripped away from his heart.

The manifestation of the sentient beings' Dao, the embryonic form of his Saint Dao, seemed to slowly peel away, revealing its original core.

Li Hao suddenly had an epiphany.

The indifferent gazes of the various Saints who had been standing on the sidelines earlier—among them were pity, surprise, sympathy, regret, coldness, and so on. The Saints had different thoughts, but they all chose to stand by and watch.

The reverence in his heart was shattered, and at the same time, the shackles in his heart were also broken.

He caught a glimpse of the true side of the most supreme existence in heaven and earth, just as he caught a glimpse of the truest side of this world.

The hidden phase behind the sentient beings' Dao... Heaven and earth were never perfect to begin with! In the Holy Land of Fomen, he debated the Dao with the Buddha Venerable. The Buddha said all sentient beings are equal; he felt that sentient beings are not equal. How can mountains, rivers, and streams be treated the same?

And behind the inequality of sentient beings lies the fact that each has its own strengths and weaknesses.

This was the origin of the embryonic Saint Dao he had been vaguely sensing in his heart—heaven and earth are flawed! Heaven and earth are not perfect, so why demand perfection from others?

And why demand perfection from Saints?!

At this moment, Li Hao suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment. Besides the revelation of the embryonic Saint Dao, the bottleneck in his painting Dao that had trapped him also seemed to have been lifted.

His painting Dao was at the ninth stage, and his experience had long been full before the Heavenly Stele, but he had been stuck at a bottleneck in his state of mind, unable to break through. Even using the small Dao-sound bell to contemplate, he was always one step short.

The more one loves painting, the more one paints, the more one pursues perfection.

But where in the world is there true perfection? All things are flawed, heaven and earth are flawed, and sentient beings are flawed. Since that is the case, that obsession with "perfection" is itself a wrong path! At this moment, Li Hao understood.

He attained enlightenment!

【You have comprehended the painting Dao state of mind: Transcending the Mundane and Entering Sainthood】

A prompt from the panel appeared before his eyes.

The slow passage of time around him seemed to suddenly return to normal.

Everything happened in an instant, a momentary collision of countless thoughts.

Watching the palm print containing the Buddha Dao Saint Domain descend, Li Hao didn't even think; he chose to embed this state of mind into his physical body Dao! Compared to the Sword Dao, the power his physical body Dao could erupt with at this moment was greater. After all, even if the Sword Dao were improved, it might not have enough power to swing a second sword strike in time! Boom! 【Physical Body Dao improved to the tenth stage!】

In an instant, Li Hao felt his brain buzzing, and countless insights and realizations flooded in. At the same time, his body was trembling, as if receiving verification from heaven and earth; his divine blood and bones were all undergoing a transformation!

An aura of a vast Great Dao suddenly extended and enveloped him, and even the Buddha Dao Saint Domain could not block it!

The Buddha light of that Saint Domain actually turned pale at this moment. Compared to the Great Dao aura on the Buddha Venerable's body, a more majestic, more supreme Dao intent appeared. Li Hao knew that was a trace of the Heavenly Venerable aura he had vaguely glimpsed when his Immortal Transformation touched the extreme! In the void, the Seeing Yuanzu, the Law Saint, and other Supreme Saints all had their expressions change, revealing shock.

Being able to move the Supreme Saints was a rare occurrence in thousands of years.

But at this moment, many Supreme Saints changed color.

He became a Saint! Under the Buddha Dao Saint Domain, that youth had actually become a Saint!

And it was not becoming a Saint through incense, but by relying on himself, sacrificing the Dao to become a Saint!! The Buddha Dao Saint Domain seemed to be wiped away by a great force, dissipating in an instant. The Buddha Venerable also seemed to suffer a backlash, letting out a muffled groan, his expression changing drastically.

Only a Heavenly Dao aura that stood alone in heaven and earth appeared on the scene, enveloping the youth who was shining brilliantly in the world.

The youth's body was as perfect as a deity's, his whole body like red gold and glaze, undergoing rapid transformation under this Heavenly Dao power.

A portion of the Heavenly Dao power was revealed and merged into his physical body; this was the Heavenly Dao power exchanged by sacrificing the Dao! Soon, bursts of a Saint's supreme aura emanated from Li Hao's body.

At this moment, countless people were shocked, their eyes wide open.

That Haotian had actually become a Saint!

He didn't rely on the incense of being first in the Supreme Heaven's Pride Battle, but relied on himself to become a Saint ahead of time! In the waiting area, Qiu Tianlü, Xiao Tianyu, and others had somewhat sluggish expressions. They never expected that before the Supreme Heaven's Pride Battle had even ended, the opponent had already become a Saint, and he had taken the most difficult path: sacrificing the Dao! A change of events did not cause this youth to fall and be wiped from their world; instead, it caused the opponent to become even more radiant, like a high-hanging divine sun, reflected in their eyes.

The Twin Buddha Children were stunned, but soon came to their senses. Their eyes instantly turned completely black as if they had completely fallen into the demonic path, filled with irritability and unwillingness.

Ji Xuanshen, Lin Qingying, and others were also stunned, but soon their faces were full of excitement and joy, and they stood up excitedly.

A majestic, surging aura emanated from all over his body, and Li Hao slowly opened his eyes.

Those eyes seemed to have just aligned with the Heavenly Dao, revealing a supreme indifference and a coldness that saw through all things in the world.

Life, death, parting, reunion, right, wrong, honor, and disgrace had all been seen through.

But soon, these eyes that ignored all things became warm again. When his gaze shifted to the Buddha Venerable and the Void Saint, it instantly became sharp.

Physical body becomes a Saint!

Li Hao could feel the immense power surging within him at this moment, surpassing all his previous methods combined. With a wave of his hand, he felt he could grasp the entire world, and his casual strength could surpass the power he could mobilize during his previous Immortal Transformation!

This is a Saint!

Physical body transcending to become a Saint—besides bringing this terrifying power, Li Hao also noticed that what he saw before him had changed significantly compared to before. He could actually see the misty smoke and rosy light emanating from many Saints; that seemed to be incense!

His eyes could glimpse the incense aura within these Saints, unless the opponent deliberately hid it to the extreme.

Li Hao looked up and swept his gaze across, instantly seeing that the incense aura on the various Supreme Saints of the Upper Three Realms was extremely intense. The misty rosy light, like clouds burned by fire, enveloped their entire bodies. What made Li Hao focus was that the incense aura of the Seeing Yuanzu's avatar was significantly more intense than the other Supreme Saints, approaching nearly half! Being the same Supreme Saint, it seems the gap is also quite large.

Looking at the other Saints, the incense aura on their bodies was significantly inferior compared to the Supreme Saints, only about one-tenth.

Some Saints' incense aura was extremely faint; it was unknown whether it was deliberately restrained or if it was just scarce to begin with.

While Li Hao looked around, the expressions of many Saints changed slightly. Li Hao himself didn't feel it, but his gaze at this moment had extremely terrifying penetrating power. These Saints felt as if they had been seen through when scanned by Li Hao, and some even felt the incense within their bodies wavering.

Just having become a Saint, how could he have such a terrifying gaze?

"Hao'er..."

Feng Master Feng Bo Ping was also stunned by this sudden change. Under the Buddha Venerable's suppression, in that short gap, Li Hao had actually attained enlightenment and become a Saint?! He immediately understood that Li Hao must have touched the bottleneck earlier, which was why he crossed it in one step.

Sacrificing the Dao... he actually took the most difficult path.

Feng Master Feng Bo Ping felt his eyes moisten, but then he erupted into loud laughter.

This loud laughter vibrated in heaven and earth, pulling countless people back from their daze. In an instant, the entire Heavenly Origin Realm, all the divine dynasties and major cities, were all boiling over.

Countless people watched this scene, which was rare in ten thousand years. At the extreme moment of being suppressed by a Three-Calamity Saint, he actually sacrificed the Dao to become a Saint—unprecedented in history! "That Haotian is too, too, too monstrous!"

"He became a Saint, my god, this is too exaggerated, he is only 28 years old this year!"

"Becoming a Saint before thirty. They say one should be established at thirty, I haven't even established myself at thirty, and he has already become a Saint!"

"This should be the youngest Saint in history!"

Countless people were shocked, having a kind of fanatical excitement.

Whether Li Hao killing that Holy Son was true or false was no longer important; they had witnessed the birth of a Saint who broke history!

As the entire Heavenly Origin Realm vibrated, Li Hao's eyes lowered and slowly returned to himself. He was not in a hurry to attack the Buddha Venerable, but was absorbing and feeling his body at this moment.

His flesh and blood seemed to be reorganized and transformed, so much so that many things from his previous life appeared in his mind.

Including many vague memories from his previous life, they actually became clear, flipping through like a comic book at this moment.

Everything he had seen and heard in this life could be retrieved at any time, with a photographic memory. This was also a manifestation of the physical body being strong to the extreme, and it was the most insignificant one.

In addition, he could also feel the hazy Dao rhyme between heaven and earth, like scattered clouds and mist, everywhere.

He heard the sound of the Great Dao in the wind.

What kind of sound was that? Like some kind of low chant, like a pleasant bell sound, making people feel comfortable.

With his physical body becoming a Saint, Li Hao was aligned with heaven and earth as never before. He felt that at this moment, he seemed to be in an extreme state of Immortal Transformation at all times. It seemed that as long as he broke through some barrier, he could truly touch the most supreme and core origin between heaven and earth: the Heavenly Dao!

While he was feeling himself, the bursts of pressure emanating from his physical body made the Buddha Venerable narrow his eyes.

The previous attack was repelled by the Heavenly Dao invoked by Li Hao's sacrifice of the Dao. The Buddha Venerable knew that was the protection of the Heavenly Dao.

But at this moment, the sacrifice of the Dao to become a Saint had ended, and the Heavenly Dao had hidden away.

Just having become a Saint, even if he took the most difficult path of sacrificing the Dao, he was ultimately just promoted, and it was also the weakest time for a Saint.

At this time, Li Hao could not even be considered a First-Calamity Saint! "Eternal Buddha Kingdom, suppress!"

The Buddha Venerable suddenly raised his hand, using ninety percent of his strength. Compared to when Li Hao was still in the Dao Law Realm, although he was extremely stunning, as a Saint now, he had to be more serious.

Li Hao, who was feeling, instantly and keenly felt the wind and clouds rolling in heaven and earth, and the Dao rhyme gathering. He looked up and saw the Buddha Venerable's solemn and serious eyes. He suddenly wanted to laugh in his heart; clearly, the killing intent was sharp, but it was covered under that solemn appearance, teaching the world to praise compassion.

"Are these three shackles the three calamities of a Saint?"

Li Hao could feel that on his Saint Dao within his body, there were vaguely three terrifying forces binding him.

He had heard Old Man Feng talk about Saints; a Saint must go through three calamities to be considered stable.

The vast majority of Saints would fall in the test of the three calamities.

These three calamities are the Human Calamity, which triggers the Human Tribulation; the Earth Calamity, which triggers the Heaven and Earth Tribulation; and the Heaven Calamity, which triggers the mighty Heavenly Tribulation and Lightning Tribulation!

These three shackles, even if not touched, would gradually loosen and fall off over time. The first shackle to fall off would be the Human Tribulation!

Many Saints, after becoming Saints, would practice some secret methods to delay the loosening of the shackles, so as to accumulate more power to survive the tribulation.

"Human Tribulation..."

Killing intent appeared in Li Hao's eyes. The so-called Human Tribulation is a fatal disaster caused by others! It will trigger various killing intents that seem like coincidences but are actually accumulated and arranged in the dark! Since that is the case, Li Hao decided to take this opportunity to survive this tribulation! Right now, he was suffering from the Human Tribulation, a fatal disaster. Unlocking the shackles now was nothing more than making the killing intent of the Buddha Venerable and others even more intense, using their hands to survive the tribulation for him!

"Open!"

Li Hao agitated his Saint Dao, and one of the shackles suddenly shattered. Immediately after, a muffled thunder sound seemed to come from heaven and earth, and something terrifying seemed to be about to descend.

This vibration was felt by all the Saints, and many of them changed color.

They didn't expect this youth to be so crazy; just having become a Saint, he wanted to survive the calamity!

You must know, other people who become Saints, which one doesn't visit everywhere, seek friends, and wait until they set up a great array before they safely survive the tribulation!

Li Hao, on the other hand, was fighting with Fomen right now, with the Void Saint hostile, and he was actually surviving the tribulation in public.

"Cannot let you live!"

The Void Saint saw Li Hao was so crazy, and felt the threat even more. Today, he must not let this youth live; he was too monstrous, monstrous to the point of being terrifying. Even if he gave the opponent a few more years, he felt that he would attack their Void Holy Land! Today, the opponent must die! He secretly accumulated power in his body, preparing to attack at any time.

But Feng Master Feng Bo Ping looked at him coldly, noticed his intention, and instantly locked onto him, guarding against him at any time.

On the other side, Li Hao had just broken free from the shackles and saw the Buddha Venerable's attack descending. He did not retreat, but instead took a sudden step forward. His physical body's extreme feeling of heaven and earth did not feel threatened under the opponent's Saint Domain power; instead, he felt a sense of stimulation and excitement.

That thing could not hurt him!

Boom! Li Hao suddenly soared into the sky, Gongming appeared in his hand, and he suddenly slashed a sword strike toward the sky.

That brilliant Buddha Kingdom Saint Domain seemed to have countless holy lotuses blooming, and flowers growing in the Jade Pool, but with that brilliant sword strike slashing down, a mighty force actually forcibly broke into the Saint Domain, stirring these visions into waves!

"What?!"

The Buddha Venerable's expression changed drastically, somewhat shocked. His Buddha Kingdom Saint Domain was actually split open by Li Hao with one sword strike!

Li Hao looked up to the sky and laughed, feeling the extreme exertion of power. The surging power in his body at this moment was truly too prosperous. He didn't use the Dao Domain and Immortal Transformation; just the Saint Dao power within his own body seemed to be able to pierce through heaven and earth.

In addition to the embryonic Saint Dao of heaven and earth being flawed that he comprehended earlier, his physical body Dao was at the tenth stage, and he had also condensed a physical body Saint Dao within his body! This was the second Saint Dao! In terms of the physical body, in heaven and earth, he should be the supreme one!

From now on, he didn't need to practice other physical training; on the contrary, he could create his own physical training techniques, preach to thousands, and teach the world how to train the body! All physical training techniques in the world could no longer surpass him, unless it was a means like the Immortal Pointing the Way that transcended the mortal world.

"Is this your Saint Domain? Too weak!"

Li Hao laughed, held his sword, and killed toward the Buddha Venerable: "You say my Buddha is compassionate, but I don't see tears in your wisdom eyes. You say the world is a bitter sea, but you stand alone on the shore and persuade people not to stay in the water. Have you ever gone into the water to save someone?!"

Accompanied by Li Hao's vibrating shout, he held his sword and killed his way to the Buddha Venerable.

The Buddha Venerable's eyes became ugly, but his expression looked only extremely serious. He put his hands together again, displayed the Buddha Kingdom Saint Domain, and suppressed it toward Li Hao.

Li Hao did not dodge or avoid, but stepped out directly.

In an instant, bursts of Saint Dao power, like needles with thousands of holes, pricked his physical body.

But Li Hao felt like willow catkins brushing against him, extremely gentle, only feeling a little itchy.

Is this a Saint's Dao Domain? Li Hao laughed. His physical body at this moment, I'm afraid, was comparable to the hardness of a Dao Tribulation Imperial Weapon; even a Saint Domain could hardly hurt him.

Break! Li Hao took a big step, stepped into the Buddha Venerable's Saint Domain, like walking in heaven and earth, actually without any obstruction.

The Saints of the heavens saw this scene, and their expressions changed slightly, somewhat shocked. Having just become a Saint, he was actually so fierce?! The Buddha Venerable was a Three-Calamity Saint, who had survived the Heavenly Tribulation and received the recognition of heaven and earth, yet he could not do anything to Li Hao!

Seeing Li Hao coming with a sword, the Buddha Venerable's expression also changed. His Saint Domain was split open earlier, but now, Li Hao's physical body was placed in the Saint Domain, yet he could not destroy it. What kind of Dao did the opponent practice?! "Three Lives Buddha Body, Bitter Sea!"

The Buddha Venerable's expression was solemn, and he suddenly raised his hand. The Buddha light on his body was revealed, actually suddenly reflecting two avatars on the left and right. They looked like avatars, but in fact, they seemed to be the true body.

"That is the Buddha Venerable's trump card, the Three Lives Buddha Body!"

"The three Buddha bodies are all real, equivalent to three Three-Calamity Saints!"

Many Saints narrowed their eyes, not expecting the Buddha Venerable to be forced to use such a method. Right now, it was just a guy who had just become a Saint, not even counting as a First-Calamity Saint.

With the appearance of the Three Lives Buddha Body, the Saint Domain appeared again, and it was a triple Saint Domain, overlapping each other, containing the three powers of "past", "future", and "present", with the blessing of fate, which was extremely terrifying.

At the same time, the three Buddha bodies raised their hands simultaneously, and waves seemed to rise in heaven and earth, and a bitter sea appeared.

In the bitter sea, there were countless floating corpses, all of which were greed, hatred, and ignorance desires drowned in the bitter sea.

At this moment, with the appearance of this bitter sea vision, it quickly enveloped Li Hao.

But Li Hao was in the bitter sea, his whole body shining with golden light. This bitter sea had strong corrosive power, but it could not hurt his physical body at all.

Physical body becomes a Saint, can be called indestructible. The bitter sea impacted his physical body, and it was isolated three feet away. This was just the aura naturally emanating from his physical body.

Saint Dao physical body, filth cannot get close! And those floating dead corpses in the bitter sea seemed to suddenly come back to life, all swimming and crawling toward Li Hao.

They seemed to regard Li Hao as a flat boat in this bitter sea, or the distant, invisible other shore, wanting to board.

But Li Hao's expression was sudden, and just the aura of his physical body power blocked these dead corpses. He raised the sword in his hand and whispered: "If the world is truly a bitter sea, then I will break it with one sword!"

He raised his hand and suddenly swung his sword out.

This seemed like a casual sword strike, but it carried the power to pierce through heaven and earth, splitting the bitter sea open, brilliant to the extreme.

This sword strike was also reflected in Bian Ruxue's eyes, not inferior at all to the sword momentum that could be called the ultimate sword strike earlier, but at this moment, it was slashed out by Li Hao casually.

Boom! The bitter sea cracked, and heaven and earth seemed to be divided. Li Hao held his sword and went forward.

The expressions of the Buddha Venerable's three lives were the same, all becoming more solemn, but he displayed Buddha Dharma again. The merit wheels behind them condensed and overlapped each other, actually turning into a rotating, huge black hole.

This black hole seemed to have some kind of suction power, flying rapidly from the end of the bitter sea, but then stood in one place, suppressing the entire bitter sea, and at the same time trying to suppress Li Hao.

"Reincarnation!"

The Buddha Venerable whispered.

In that black hole-like rotating vortex, there was destructive power, which was the extreme power between life and death.

Between life and death, there is reincarnation, which is endless, but also constantly arising and perishing! "You dare to talk about reincarnation!"

Li Hao looked at the vortex. It contained destructive power, but only weak life force. Obviously, this Buddha Dharma had not been thoroughly comprehended by the opponent.

It was just an embryonic form.

He didn't say much, and his body didn't stop. At the moment of approaching, he suddenly put away his sword, but suddenly increased his speed, and hit the rotating vortex with his physical body.

Suddenly, many people exclaimed.

But the next moment, Li Hao's physical body hit the reincarnation and tore the black rotating vortex apart!

His whole body was scattered with black flame-like embers, and he looked up, looking directly at the Buddha Venerable sitting on the other shore of the bitter sea.

The solemnity on the Buddha Venerable's face became somewhat absent-minded. Although this Buddha Dharma of his was not mature, it was an extremely terrifying method. If reincarnation were really established, even a Supreme Saint would have to avoid its edge!

But Li Hao actually crossed the bitter sea with his physical body and tore the reincarnation apart, which completely exceeded his expectations.

"You have been sitting on it for too long, come down and walk for me!"

Li Hao stood on the bitter sea vision, suddenly raised his sword, and slashed out suddenly.

One sword pierced the void, containing the intent of the 'Only I' Sword Dao, and also integrated the ethereal and transcendent sword power of the Immortal Pointing the Way, but this sword strike of his did not slash on the Buddha Venerable, but swept across the lotus throne under the Three Lives Buddha Body.

With a 'Boom—', the lotus throne burst. This lotus throne was not a Dao Tribulation Imperial Weapon, but a Saint Heart Supreme Treasure of an extremely high grade.

Dao Tribulation Imperial Weapons, even Saints might not have them, are extremely rare, bred by heaven and earth, and formed after being tempered by Dao fire and Heavenly Tribulation.

With the bursting of the lotus throne, the Three Lives Buddha Body changed from sitting to flying backward, and could only stand in the void.

After Li Hao slashed and exploded the lotus throne with one sword, he used Gui Xu teleportation to get close.

His physical body had become a Saint at this moment, and the distance he could teleport was greater. He almost approached the Buddha Venerable in an instant and slashed with his sword.

He randomly chose a Buddha body, regardless of whether it was true or false.

Boom! The Buddha Venerable raised his hand, and the Buddha light in his palm had not yet dissipated, but was slashed and cracked by this sword strike. Immediately after, golden blood splashed from his arm, and his cassock was splashed with golden beads.

Crossing the bitter sea with Buddha blood! "Your Buddha Dao is nothing more than wanting the world to respect you, fear you, and be afraid of you!"

"Buddha Dao is not the Dao, the Dao that can be spoken is not the eternal Dao!!"

Li Hao swung his sword and roared to the sky.

Accompanied by the six words spoken, heaven and earth seemed to tremble and buzz. That was the true Dao sound, and visions were triggered in heaven and earth!

The Buddha Venerable, who was about to resist, was shocked by the vibrating sound, and his eyes had a brief confusion and blankness. That was a sign of the Saint Dao cracking.

At the same time, his physical body was shattered by Li Hao's long sword, and blood was splashed in the bitter sea.

The three Buddha bodies were swept away by Li Hao like a violent wind slashing fallen leaves, all slashed open!

In the blink of an eye, the Buddha Venerable fell, covered in blood, and lay in the bitter sea.

And the bitter sea vision was also slowly dissipating.

This scene made everyone speechless.

A dignified Three-Calamity Saint was actually suppressed by Li Hao, who had just become a Saint!

In the waiting area, the Twin Buddha Children's pupils contracted, and the pitch-black whites of their eyes actually returned to normal in the blink of an eye. They looked at the scene of the Buddha Venerable's defeat in the sky, somewhat dazed.

On the other side, Feng Master Feng Bo Ping saw this scene, and in addition to shock, there was more joy.

Just at this moment, the Void Saint suddenly disappeared, teleported from the void, and appeared behind Li Hao almost instantly.

By the time Feng Master Feng Bo Ping noticed it, it was already too late. He said in a lost voice: "Be careful!"

While speaking, he quickly displayed his own Saint Dao, stealing a portion of the opponent's attack power.

But despite this, the attack still landed on the top of Li Hao's head.

And Li Hao, under that extreme space power that came to assassinate, just turned his head and looked back quietly.

Boom!!

The bursting lightning exploded on the top of Li Hao's head, and bursts of tearing void power enveloped Li Hao, but after this power dissipated, Li Hao still stood there quietly, his eyes cold, maintaining the action of looking back earlier, without suffering any harm!

The Void Saint was stunned, and disbelief appeared in his eyes: "How is it possible!"

His Void Dao could be called one of the top two in terms of attack power among Three-Calamity Saints, yet it could not hurt Li Hao.

In fact, he did hurt him, but Li Hao had the terrifying self-healing of dripping blood to rebirth, and the extreme physical body of the Tongli Final Realm.

After becoming a Saint again, these effects were significantly enhanced, especially self-healing.

The injury he suffered healed in the blink of an eye.

Just now, Li Hao's skin was actually cut open. Although it was only a scratch, it was enough to show the strength of the opponent's attack.

"So urgent? You will die!"

Li Hao whispered.

Hearing Li Hao's soft whisper, the Void Saint suddenly felt a sense of horror. What kind of Dao did this guy practice to be so terrifying to this degree?

The next moment, Li Hao suddenly rushed out.

The Void Saint reacted extremely quickly and quickly escaped into the void.

Boom! Li Hao suddenly swung his sword, his hair transformed into brilliant silver again, entering the Immortal Transformation.

This sword strike reached the extreme, and space was separated as if it were a fault! The Void Saint was forced out of the void by Li Hao. Seeing the terrifying sword light coming, he quickly mobilized the void power to strangle it.

But the layers of void power kept strangling, and that sword strike was still brilliant, arriving in an instant, slashing on his chest.

Blood splashed, his body flew backward, and he was seriously injured.

Li Hao raised his hand, and the painting Dao state of mind he had just condensed gave him an extraordinary realization at this moment.

Looking at this heaven and earth where the sky was changing, he suddenly gathered heaven and earth power in his palm and condensed a pen.

With the condensation of this pen, a vast Saint Dao aura spread; that was Li Hao's painting Dao heart.

He quickly wrote, heaven and earth clouds and mist surged, he used the firmament as drawing paper, and Saint blood as ink, painting portraits of the Buddha Venerable and the Void Saint's defeat in heaven and earth. In addition, there was another Saint, that was the Yang Saint; Li Hao did not forget him either.

As the portraits of the three appeared, floating in heaven and earth, the pen and ink in Li Hao's hand also dissipated.

"What are you doing?"

The Void Saint's expression changed slightly, and he said in shock and anger.

He felt that his Saint Dao power seemed to be pulled by something. Even if he escaped into the void, he would be pulled by that thing, and this pull would make him unable to avoid it!

"Before mortals die, they will put their own portraits in the mourning hall. This is for you."

Li Hao said coldly.

His words spread to heaven and earth, and the entire Heavenly Origin Realm heard it. Countless people lost their voices. This was too overbearing. Just having become a Saint, he wanted to kill three Saints? "You, you are simply disregarding the law!"

The Void Saint said in shock and anger.

These words, however, were to pull the Legalist school into it.

Deep anger appeared in his eyes. If he had known this, he should have used his true body to suppress and kill this youth ten years ago.

It was just that at that time, the opponent was just an ant, and using an avatar was already extremely exaggerated.

Li Hao heard the Void Saint's words, but sneered, and said: "Law? Letting your own disciples come to die, if we really talk about the law, the one who should die is you!"

While speaking, he suddenly raised his hand, and the Saint Dao power in his body circulated, presenting the words the Void Yuan Holy Son had transmitted to him earlier in the void: "It's a pity that the divine dynasty gave birth to a monster like you. Otherwise, it would have been leveled by me now. You ruined my good deeds, you really deserve to die!"

Through Li Hao's Saint Dao amplification, these words spread in heaven and earth.

It could be heard that it was the Void Yuan Holy Son's voice.

Previously, Li Hao could not do such a thing, but after his physical body became a Saint, he could glimpse the Great Dao in the wind. The traces of this sound transmission had not dissipated in heaven and earth, so they were reproduced by him! The opponent also did not expect that Li Hao would become a Saint in the blink of an eye.

At this time, with the transmission of this sound, everyone was stunned and looked at each other.

Some Saints who had been standing on the sidelines earlier had light flashing in their eyes. Previously, the Buddha Venerable swore by his Buddha heart, which made people have to believe it. For such matters of others, they were also unwilling to think too deeply.

Moreover, they knew that Li Hao was pursued by the Void Saint, and it must be that he had a grudge with the Void Holy Land, so Li Hao indeed had a motive for murder.

But hearing these words now, it was somewhat thought-provoking.

After this passage, Li Hao also intercepted the last sentence of the Void Yuan Holy Son before his death from heaven and earth: "You accompany me to the grave too!!"

This voice was ferocious, carrying madness, and anyone could hear the twisted killing intent inside.

Many people suddenly realized, thinking of what Li Hao said earlier, that the opponent committed suicide.

Added to Li Hao's performance earlier, the opponent did not admit defeat on stage, but chose to fight, which clearly had other reasons. Since there was a grudge, then he would inevitably worry that the opponent would seriously injure him in the competition, so he should have admitted defeat early.

Thinking of these, the eyes of many people looking at the Void Saint changed.

Many disciples of the Void Holy Land present could hear that this was the Void Yuan Holy Son's voice, and for a while, they were somewhat dazed.

But many people were furious, saying that Li Hao's move was slander and was baseless.

Li Hao naturally would not argue with these people. What he did was just to let those who were willing to believe him know.

For those who held the answer in their hearts, he was too lazy to break their prejudices. After all, he had already become a Saint. Mountains do not let dust fall; the reason why a mountain is a mountain is that it never avoids any dust falling on it.

Except for some disciples of the Void Holy Land, most other people now had the idea of continuing to investigate this matter.

The Law Saint frowned slightly. As a Supreme Saint, he naturally heard that Li Hao's method was definitely not fake. In this way, there was indeed another question.

Although he did not like Li Hao's disregard for the law, everything should be treated on its own merits.

If the law is not fair, then it is not the law, but power! He practiced the law, not power, so if he continued to target Li Hao because of this matter, it would affect his own Saint Dao.

"Sure enough, it was all your plan. You didn't expect Haotian to become a Saint, did you? Didn't you detain a trace of your disciple's soul? Let him come out and confront!"

Feng Master Feng Bo Ping suddenly roared, his eyes glowing with excitement.

He knew that the reason why the Saints didn't speak earlier was because the Buddha Venerable's Buddha heart oath had too much prestige and had to be believed, but now, there was no such reason.

It was just that why the Buddha Venerable's Buddha heart oath had no effect, he couldn't figure it out.

The Void Saint's expression was ugly. He also didn't expect that the idiot would die if he died, but he had to throw some harsh words before he died. He wouldn't die in peace if he didn't say harsh words, right? He was annoyed in his heart, but now that things had reached this point, it would be difficult to count on the Saints to stand by and watch.

Moreover, even if the Saints continued to stand by and watch, he and the Buddha Venerable could not suppress Li Hao in public.

This plan had failed again and again. Since the interception began, it had failed step by step.

"His disciple's soul is just a trace, and his consciousness is chaotic. How can it be verified?!"

The Void Saint said in shock and anger.

Feng Master Feng Bo Ping sneered: "Then peel open that trace of soul, take a good look, and distinguish the truth!"

"You!"

The Void Saint almost choked on a mouthful of blood. If it were really peeled open and looked at carefully, that trace of soul would dissipate, and that would be true destruction of body and soul, not even qualified to enter the Mo River! "It concerns a Saint's innocence. Your disciple's intentions are sinister. If you shield him, it means you jointly instigated it!" Feng Master Feng Bo Ping sneered. At this moment, the situation was reversed, and they were in the right.

Li Hao's eyes were indifferent, and the killing intent in his eyes was obscure. He was not in a hurry to do it. It was good to distinguish it clearly, so that when he killed, the Saints could not stop him! "The Saint of Thieves is right. Since that is the case, take out your disciple's soul and let everyone see it clearly, so as to avoid misunderstanding."

At this time, the Seeing Yuanzu slowly spoke.

His voice was gentle, and he smiled at the Void Saint.

The Void Saint felt cold in his heart. With the Seeing Yuanzu speaking, this move had become a foregone conclusion.

After all, many Saints would stand on the Seeing Yuanzu's side; this was the opponent's connections and momentum.

His expression changed for a moment. He knew that if it were really given to the opponent, it would inevitably be the worst situation.

If it were just his disciple, then it would be fine if he died, but he had promised the opponent that he would protect his reincarnation. If he handed it over now, it would mean he violated his oath, and his Saint Dao would also be damaged.

"My disciple practiced diligently, and now only a trace of soul remains. I will never let him perish. I hope the Saints will forgive me!"

The Void Saint gritted his teeth and said. While speaking, he glared at Li Hao fiercely, and suddenly rushed to the distance, escaping into the void, wanting to leave this place.

"Wait, don't be so urgent."

Suddenly, a force in the void blocked and forced the Void Saint out.

The one who spoke was the Yin-Yang Supreme Saint. He smiled and said: "If you leave like this, it will only make people feel that you are jointly united. This matter has a deep impact, so it is better to investigate it clearly."

"Not bad, Void Saint, don't mislead yourself."

The Law Saint also said coldly, his expression extremely serious.

The Void Saint's expression was ugly. The attitude toward Haotian earlier had now shifted to him.

Everything was just because the opponent had become a Saint and failed to kill him in time! He was extremely angry and hateful in his heart.
