Chapter 585: The Void Abyss

Seeing Li Hao so composed, Ying Ying Xiaoxiao thought of the means by which he had just slain the Star Saint, and the tension in her heart could not help but relax.

She knew that Li Hao had experienced all kinds of life-and-death trials, yet he had always turned danger into safety, and at that time, Li Hao was still far from having his current strength.

Boom!!

At this moment, the entire Void Abyss suddenly shook, swaying as if heaven and earth were collapsing; a terrifying vibration emanated from the void crack, and immediately after, one could see a chaotic light gathering, slowly spreading toward the outside of the crack.

However, while this appeared to spread slowly, it was actually a matter of an instant.

It was like the universe bursting, heaven and earth collapsing in a flash; Li Hao's pupils constricted as he felt a terrifying destructive power from that chaotic light.

Every hair on his body stood on end, his Dao Domain instantly enveloped Ying Ying Xiaoxiao, and his figure retreated rapidly.

At the same time, the Dragon God on the other side also came to his senses, taking the lead in flying toward the distance.

The other God Clan Sages also fled in terror in all directions.

Fortunately, that chaotic power seemed to shift consciously, avoiding the direction of the God Clan, but the Demon-Slaying Assembly side had no cover whatsoever.

"This, what is this power?"

"Chaos, ending?"

"Run!"

"Even the Sage Dao has been annihilated; is that the Heavenly Dao?"

Numerous Sages were horrified, feeling terrified, dodging everywhere; was this the impact of the battle between the Seeing Yuanzu and the God King? Within the void crack, the two powers of origin and ending collided to the extreme.

The Seeing Yuanzu mastered the power of origin, viewing origin as the beginning of all things.

And the God King cultivated the Ultimate Dao, having also condensed a Sage Dao himself; his Sage Dao was ending.

All things shall end, and ending is also the beginning.

The Sage Daos of the two had similarities, yet were completely different, as if they were fated mortal enemies.

At this moment, the two powers of origin and ending, under the eruption of their respective divine realms, reached the Sage extreme, tearing the void apart, shattering all laws, and revealing the most primordial chaos of that heaven and earth.

Chaos swallowed everything, including the Sage Dao.

The Sage Daos of all the Sages were born after chaos, not before, and therefore could not contend with it.

"Without them, relying on you alone, you still want to replay the story?"

The God King stared fixedly at the Seeing Yuanzu; back then they drank together, called each other brothers, and cherished each other, who would have thought that later they would be mortal enemies!

"What about you, do you want to kill me for revenge? Are you capable of it?" The Seeing Yuanzu looked at him with a calm expression.

A sudden ferocity appeared in the God King's eyes: "That ancient palace is about to open; I cannot kill you, but I will never let you have your way!"

"I gave you that bronze seat back then, and what was the result? After so many years, have you become an immortal?"

As he spoke, he could not help but sneer.

The Seeing Yuanzu said indifferently: "You know, from the primordial era until now, my only wish has been to see what is beyond that world. Since you understand me, you should understand that if I take that step and can turn back, I will definitely bring you with me."

"Pah!"

The God King spat, sneering: "If I take that step, I would also turn back to bring you with me; why don't you give me that chance?"

The Seeing Yuanzu looked at him quietly, knowing that further argument on this matter was meaningless, and said: "Then let's see if you have the ability!"

They had once agreed to become immortal brothers together, but now they were trying their best to prevent each other from becoming immortals; perhaps this was the irony of fate.

"Die!"

The God King roared, the golden flames all over his body becoming increasingly violent; at the same time, layers of Dao Domains overlapped, reaching the extreme of 360 layers in an instant.

Eternal Dao Domain!

In his Eternal Dao Domain, endless flames permeated, like an eternal fire domain, red flames burning, carrying the anger of his countless years.

As the power of the Dao Domain spread, the might of his whole body surged, and the power of ending erupted with even more terrifying erosive force.

The Seeing Yuanzu likewise raised his hand, his Dao Domain overlapping layer upon layer; it was also an Eternal Dao Domain.

In his Dao Domain, stars flickered and died, all things grew, occasionally transforming into brilliant, hazy orange-red divine glows, like the chaotic light of heaven and earth at the beginning.

Both erupted with their Eternal Dao Domains, colliding with each other, each borrowing the power of the Heavenly Dao, and in coordination with their own Sage Daos, they devoured each other.

But their extremes were the same, and both had cultivated to the Body Integration Final Realm.

The path of the Second Final Realm, however, had some differences.

Outside the Heaven and Earth Veins, the God King condensed Divine Veins, forcibly opening a Divine Vein with his own divine realm Sage Dao, connecting heaven and earth, attracting power from all directions; the effect was extremely domineering, comparable to two Heaven and Earth Veins.

The Seeing Yuanzu, however, had the Myriad Things Vein.

Within the Heaven and Earth Veins, using all things as reflections, he planted paths of Qi veins, composing them together; the power was even greater than the God King's Divine Veins.

As they stalemated, the Seeing Yuanzu's momentum gradually gained the upper hand, the Myriad Things Vein becoming more majestic and profound; just as it seemed about to suppress the God King, suddenly, the momentum within the God King's body erupted, reversing in an instant.

"Ancestral God Vein, blood origin is the path of the Second Final Realm!"

The God King's eyes were sharp; he had long since learned of the terror of the Myriad Things Vein, and therefore, before this battle, he had already contemplated a method of restraint.

He used bloodlines as a guide, using God Clan descendants as veins, to achieve the Ancestral God Vein, which could at any time use the God Clan as veins, plundering their power to integrate into himself.

At this moment, the power within the bodies of the God Clan army outside the void crack flowed away from their God Clan bloodlines, gathering on the God King through a special path; this method of opening veins, like Ultimate Dao cultivation, was not only strong but also extremely fast to cultivate!

After all, he already had a huge number of existing descendants; it was a race.

The Seeing Yuanzu's expression changed slightly; his cultivation was long and his foundation extremely deep, but he had to admit that the God King's aptitude was earth-shattering, unprecedented, and seemingly without a successor.

Opening up the Ultimate Dao cultivation system, and now, opening up the Second Final Realm through bloodlines; both powers were not only formidable but also simple to enter and extremely fast to cultivate, making up for the gap in foundation he had accumulated over long years.

In the eyes of others, he opened up the Sage Realm, becoming the first Sage between heaven and earth, with no path to refer to, making him a peerless genius.

But whenever he faced the God King, he had a feeling of being dull and mediocre himself.

Bang! The Seeing Yuanzu's Dao Domain integrated the power of the Sage Dao, transforming into an Eternal Sage Domain, the hazy divine glow appearing like the origin of all things, surrounding the God King.

The God King's Dao Domain similarly transformed, divine fire swept through, the power of ending shrouded, causing everything to wither and fade; within it were traces of the laws of time.

As the two powers stalemated again, the power of the Ancestral Dragon Vein revealed its advantage, and the God King's Sage Domain gradually gained the upper hand.

"Hmph, take out your Tai Cang Divine Seal."

The God King said coldly.

Hearing this, the Seeing Yuanzu seemed to want to let him have his way, suddenly slapping out a divine light from his palm.

That light rotated and soared, appearing like a rapidly expanding small world.

Bang! The void trembled; that was a terrifying divine seal, but it contained the power of a world.

This was by no means a sliver of borrowed power, but a true small world suppressing down!

The God King sneered, suddenly drawing his sword, but just as he was about to strike, a cold light suddenly slashed across.

This light was extremely abrupt, suddenly piercing into his Eternal Sage Domain; within it, there seemed to be a special passage that could travel unimpeded.

Bang! The God King was too late to react, as if completely unable to anticipate it; the back of his rugged armor was pierced, and a cold aura shrouded it, freezing the divine flames on his body. As the sword was pulled out, the God King's body suddenly shattered.

Behind his shattered body was a figure with white hair and white eyebrows, his expression indifferent.

But before he could withdraw his palm, suddenly, the God King's body condensed behind him, recovering as normal in almost an instant.

It was just that the God King, who had just recovered, was met with the Tai Cang Divine Seal smashing down on his head.

Bang! The God King's body was shrouded by the Tai Cang Divine Seal, his entire Sage Domain shattered, shrouded by a terrifying tribulation power.

And the white-haired old man took the opportunity to raise his hand, and restrictions appeared in the void, intending to coordinate with the divine seal to seal the God King once again.

Outside the void crack, the Sages who had retreated to the distance were all holding their breath and staring.

The power that vibrated out from the crack from time to time was heart-stopping; that was the primordial power capable of directly erasing a Sage.

"The God King and the Seeing Yuanzu, who will win?"

"That God King is even stronger than I imagined; I thought the Seeing Yuanzu could easily resolve it, but I didn't expect it to turn into a protracted war."

"You haven't seen that great war back then, have you? That is the God King, the existence who opened up a race in the heavens, one person's majesty over the heavens; if it weren't for the Sages joining forces, they might not have been defeated back then."

"That's right, this God King is terrifyingly monstrous; I reckon only that Lord Hao Tian can compare."

Many Sages had changed their address for the God King; the other party had already conquered them with strength, and as they spoke, many people looked at Li Hao.

When they saw Ying Ying Xiaoxiao beside Li Hao, many people suddenly realized that the Star Saint who had fought Li Hao seemed to have died!

Slaying the Star Saint was even more shocking than Li Hao continuously destroying ten void holy lands; after all, that Star Saint was an existence invincible below the Supreme Sage.

Although Li Hao also had this title, being equally invincible below the Supreme Sage, there was still a gap between them, and now, Li Hao was absolutely worthy of being called top-tier!

"Too terrifying, he seems to be only one step away from the Supreme Sage."

"Being able to kill the Star Saint, even the Food Saint and the Underworld Saint might not be able to do it; I heard he is not even 30 years old, and I don't know how he cultivates."

"Given time, it should be a certainty that he will cultivate to the Supreme Sage."

"If that ancient palace opens and there really is an immortal path, I fear he has hope of cultivating to become an immortal in this lifetime!"

At this moment, the eyes of the Sages looking at Li Hao put away their contempt and also had no hostility.

The holy lands that had been robbed by Li Hao before now also had much clearer eyes.

Amidst the whispers of the crowd, a majestic power suddenly emanated from within the void crack, and immediately after, three figures flew out from within.

"Seeing Yuanzu!"

"Isn't that the Li Tianyuan Sage? I heard he cultivates the Creation Sage Dao!"

"He is the Seeing Yuanzu's second disciple; was he also inside just now?"

"Such an intense great war, and he is actually unscathed; could it be..."

Many people changed color, thinking of a terrifying guess. Is the other party also a Supreme Sage? With the aftermath of that kind of attack, it is hard to imagine that someone who is not a Supreme Sage could withstand it.

However, if the other party is a Supreme Sage, then the Seeing Yuanzu is simply too terrifying.

Currently in the heavens, there is no Supreme Sage who has a master and an inheritance.

At this moment, the God King's armor was stained with blood, his eyes were vicious, and he said to the Seeing Yuanzu: "I will wait for you!"

After speaking, he turned around and flicked his cloak, shrouding everyone within it.

When he saw that Ying Ying Xiaoxiao beside Li Hao was not affected by the cloak's laws, he looked coldly, turned around and stepped into the heaven and earth crack; within a few breaths, he had completely disappeared without a trace.

The Seeing Yuanzu's expression was silent; he did not speak, nor did he pursue.

Seeing this, the Sages were all a bit stunned; just like that, he let the God King go? If the other party does not die, he will definitely make a comeback, but the Seeing Yuanzu did not make a move, and the Sages seemed to smell something.

This Seeing Yuanzu and the God King seem to have reached some kind of cooperation.

There is only one thing that these two most powerful people in the heavens can join forces to do.

Or, there is only one reason that can make them stop.

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes suddenly fell on Li Hao.

When they saw Li Hao, they also noticed Ying Ying Xiaoxiao beside Li Hao.

This is the Goddess of the God Clan!

At this moment, the God King and the God Clan army had all retreated, leaving only this Goddess here.

Some gazes containing killing intent swept over Ying Ying Xiaoxiao; Ying Ying Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, but was not afraid.

"Let's go, the banquet is over, we should go back too." Li Hao said to Ying Ying Xiaoxiao.

The two prepared to leave, but the Seeing Yuanzu suddenly called out to Li Hao, as if looking at him quietly for a moment, before smiling: "One year later is the day the ancient palace opens; you must be careful, some people do not wish for the immortal path to open, and might cause you trouble."

"Hmm."

Li Hao nodded.

Afterwards, he took Ying Ying Xiaoxiao and the Feng Lao avatar and stepped into the heaven and earth crack to leave.

The Sages looked at each other; the Seeing Yuanzu did not blame Li Hao, so others dared not block him even more.

The Star Saint was no match for Li Hao; on the scene, except for the Seeing Yuanzu making a move himself, only that white-haired and white-browed Li Tianyuan Sage could stop him.

Xiao Xiao Tianyu's eyes were complex; he thought that after becoming a Sage, he would shorten the distance with Li Hao, but he didn't expect it to be pulled even further; Li Hao's improvement was god-speed, and he already had a feeling of approaching his master.

After Li Hao left, other Sages also bid farewell to the Seeing Yuanzu one after another.

They knew that the next time they met would be at the ancient palace a year later.

A year's time is very short; for a Sage, it is like a corner of the page of time flipping up, from today to tomorrow.

For Li Hao, a year's time is enough to do many things.

Playing chess, fishing, contemplating, cooking...

Li Hao is becoming more and more invested in cooking, feeling that he is only one opportunity away from enlightenment.

Besides cooking, Li Hao continuously condensed the laws, and his physical body finally completely absorbed the various insights of the Nine-Stage Imperial Dao, laws and physical body becoming one!

As the Dao bones and divine blood perfected, Li Hao felt he was touching a mysterious and indescribable feeling.

Having had the experience of opening up the extreme realm, Li Hao knew that this was the extreme realm state.

He seemed to transform into the Great Dao, indestructible, and the healing speed of rebirth from a drop of blood could also act on this special state.

One must know that the Great Dao cannot be destroyed, unless it is some kind of extremely terrifying power that can tear it apart, but not erase it.

But coupled with rebirth from a drop of blood, even if torn apart, it can heal in the blink of an eye!

Encountering the chaotic impact of the Seeing Yuanzu and the God King fighting earlier, Li Hao had the confidence to block it; purely in terms of life-saving means, he felt that compared to the Supreme Sage, there might be no difference, and in some aspects, he was even stronger! Hearing the Dao extreme realm...

Li Hao named it "Dao Ancestor"! Besides transforming into the Great Dao, there are many other means; most importantly, Li Hao can have a vague sense and communication with the Heavenly Dao.

In other words, it is peeking into the will of heaven, which is an ability only mastered by the Supreme Sage! (End of chapter)
