Chapter 601

Li Hao's expression was ferocious and filled with pain, along with an urge for bloodlust and slaughter.

He suddenly thought of the Long Sheng who had stood before the ancient well earlier; the other party's expression had been brutal and ferocious, seemingly influenced by the power within the ancient well.

"To think it could affect my Primordial Spirit, including my Daoist will!"

Li Hao was somewhat alarmed; this brutal, maddening emotion seemed to be triggered from the root of his Daoist thoughts, yet it also felt like some unstoppable force draped over him like a cloak, guiding him. If it lasted too long, he might even lose control and have something extremely terrible happen.

Li Hao immediately borrowed the power of the Immortal Transformation to cast his mind into the heavens and earth, merging with them; this was the Heavenly Human Unity of the Heavenly Human Realm.

That ferocious emotion gradually dissipated, and his Primordial Spirit and consciousness scattered into the heavens and earth, becoming too vast—unless this thing could affect the entire world around him.

Once his heart regained its calm, Li Hao glanced at the Long Sheng, who was attacking the small courtyard in a frenzy. He did not counterattack, but instead retreated rapidly toward the sculpture.

At the same time, the auras of the Seeing Yuanzu and the God King surrounded this place from the left and right, respectively.

But their auras were obscure, and neither had revealed themselves.

Li Hao knew they had already glimpsed what was happening here from the shadows.

"Do you want to run? You can't escape; you must all die!"

The Long Sheng roared like a madman, seemingly having lost control; its eye sockets were blood-red, and blood-colored light seeped from every scale on its body.

It dove toward Li Hao, intending to trample the small courtyard as well, but its power collided with the courtyard and was blocked by that silver-gray light.

Seeing this, Li Hao was certain that the Long Sheng had lost control, having been too deeply affected by that power. His figure flickered, and he arrived before the sculpture.

Looking at it now, the sculpture was somewhat strange; it was attached to a wall, and there was no altar nearby, as if it did not belong here.

Divine light erupted from Li Hao's eyes, his divine gaze peering into the depths of the sculpture. The fine textures were clearly visible, and the faint aura of Immortal Dao power emanated from within the sculpture.

Li Hao's gaze flickered; he pressed his palm against the sculpture and released his power to extend inside.

Very quickly, Li Hao detected an abnormality.

Behind this sculpture, there seemed to be a crack in the void.

That faint power was emanating through that crack.

A look of surprise appeared in Li Hao's eyes. He looked at the sculpture again and suddenly realized that the sculpture was like a stone block, seemingly serving the purpose of a plug.

Boom! The Long Sheng's body collided with the small courtyard, rebounding with silver light. Its roar was deafening; seemingly provoked into ferocity and savagery, it was determined to destroy the courtyard's restriction, actually getting into a fight with the courtyard.

Hearing the constantly vibrating sound, Li Hao felt even more the terror of the power in the blood water within the well. A dignified Long Huang Supreme was now actually like a temperamental madman.

If not for his ability to merge his Primordial Spirit into the heavens and earth, he would likely have become extremely irritable and violent by now.

Li Hao did not linger; he tried to move the sculpture away.

"Could this behind here be the Path to Immortals and Gods?"

Li Hao's eyes flashed; that faint Immortal power gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

The legend pursued by the Sages of the heavens was right before his eyes, within arm's reach.

Just as he was about to move it, he immediately felt as if the sculpture had come back to life; its face actually radiated anger and majesty, looking down at Li Hao.

Li Hao had a sensation like being electrocuted; his whole body went stiff, as if an ant were standing before a god, producing a sense of fear so intense it was suffocating.

His palm trembled, and for a moment, he did not know whether to stop or withdraw.

The sculpture's eyes looked down at Li Hao, carrying severity and indifference, as if shouting a command to stop.

That pressure was silent, yet it weighed upon Li Hao's heart like a hundred thousand Mount Taishans.

Li Hao's body was rigid; he slowly withdrew his palm. He felt that if he continued to move it, besides that pressure, something bad would likely happen.

This Sage's intuition was close to a prophecy; it was definitely not an illusion.

While Li Hao was silently pondering, the Long Sheng's attacks became increasingly ferocious, and at this moment, the two auras hidden in the shadows appeared one after another.

The God King and the Seeing Yuanzu both detected each other at the first moment; the reason they hadn't revealed themselves was to see what the situation was here.

After observing, they only saw Li Hao and the Long Sheng.

And the Long Sheng's situation was extremely terrible; it seemed to have gone mad, and the commotion it caused was too great.

There were three fork roads in total. When the Seeing Yuanzu and the God King saw each other, they knew the paths they had chosen were wrong, so the correct path was only the one before them.

"Long Sheng, please calm down. Tell us, what is the situation here?"

The Seeing Yuanzu appeared, wanting to appease the Long Sheng to avoid it causing too great a commotion, which would alert other Sages and attract them here.

The God King also revealed his figure, but his expression was icy; he stared coldly at the Long Sheng, looking very much like he might strike at any moment.

Seeing these two finally willing to appear, Li Hao's heart stirred. He did not make another move; although the Path to Immortals and Gods might be behind this sculpture, that dangerous intuition told him he could not open the path himself.

"Why should I tell you? If you want to find the Path to Immortals and Gods, rely on your own abilities!"

The Long Sheng roared lowly; faced with the Seeing Yuanzu's pleasant demeanor, it was not polite in the slightest.

But its reason was still slightly suppressed, which was why it didn't say anything even more irritable.

The Seeing Yuanzu's eyes flickered slightly; the Long Sheng's condition was too abnormal; in the past, it would never have spoken to him like this.

"Hao Tian, what is going on here?"

The Seeing Yuanzu turned his head to ask Li Hao.

Li Hao's thoughts turned; he said honestly, "The two of you, the Long Sheng has gone mad. It was polluted by the blood water in that well, and its consciousness is disordered."

These words were the same as what the Seeing Yuanzu and the God King had seen, but after hearing Li Hao's words, both of them glanced at the ancient well in the courtyard. They could feel a mass of deep and brutal energy in the well, and this energy had now stained quite a bit of the Long Sheng's body.

"What are you doing standing there?"

The Seeing Yuanzu asked with a calm smile.

A hint of hesitation appeared on Li Hao's face, as if he were struggling, and then he gritted his teeth and said with a trace of unwillingness, "The Path to Immortals and Gods seems to be behind this sculpture."

"Oh?"

Hearing Li Hao's words, a flash of light passed through the eyes of both the Seeing Yuanzu and the God King. Even if the news were false, the three words "Path to Immortals and Gods" still made their heartstrings vibrate.

In fact, before asking, the Seeing Yuanzu had quietly sensed the sculpture and also detected a trace of vast, ethereal power hidden within it.

At this moment, Li Hao's words made him understand, and he immediately said, "I didn't expect the Path to Immortals and Gods to be here. Hao Tian, you have found this Path to Immortals and Gods; it is a great merit, and the heavens will thank you."

Li Hao shook his head and said, "Even without me, others would have found this place sooner or later, but finding it is useless; I feel there seems to be danger inside."

Seeing Li Hao say this, the Seeing Yuanzu's lingering doubts dissipated. His figure flickered, crossing the Return to Ruins, finding a trajectory in the flowing void, and arriving before Li Hao in an instant.

Li Hao's expression changed; this movement speed was too fast, even more terrifying than the Void Ancestor's attainments in space.

If he were to fight the other party, running away would be meaningless; he could only fight to the death.

When the Seeing Yuanzu arrived before Li Hao, the God King also used his sword to split open a passage, traveling to Li Hao's front without falling behind the Seeing Yuanzu.

The Seeing Yuanzu glanced at the sculpture; his pupils seemed to turn into whirlpools. The Eye of Origin could trace the past, see the trajectory of cause and effect, and see the traces of time.

But this sculpture had existed for too long, and the time he could trace back was limited; the sculpture had not changed in his eyes. However, the Eye of Origin had another function, which was to peer into the origin of all things.

This was also the reason why the Seeing Yuanzu was able to be the first to become a Sage alone in the Primordial Era.

Following the peering into the origin, he immediately saw a crack behind the sculpture, and that vast, ethereal aura was emanating from there.

That was not an aura belonging to the Sage Dao; he had seen and felt that kind of aura before, engraved deep in his soul. At this moment, he felt it all at once—this was the aura of Immortals and Gods! The Path to Immortals and Gods! The Seeing Yuanzu's heart trembled, and a flash of excitement appeared in his eyes, but he quickly restrained it, not revealing any abnormality.

He nodded slightly and said, "That's right, behind this sculpture, it is indeed possible that there is the Path to Immortals and Gods, but it seems somewhat dangerous. The path leading to Immortals and Gods will depart from this realm and enter the world of Immortals and Gods; perhaps it is the pressure of that world..."

He was analyzing to himself, but in reality, these words were spoken for the God King to hear.

The God King's expression did not change; he just stared fixedly at the sculpture, his eyes turning pure black. The Eye of Destruction allowed him to peer into the situation inside the sculpture as well.

"Since it is the Path to Immortals and Gods, let me go first!"

At this time, above the small courtyard, the Long Sheng's roar sounded. It looked ferociously at Li Hao and said:

"Seeing Yuanzu, God King, you may both go, but he cannot! He killed Huntian; he is too terrifying. He has an peerless divine weapon in his hand; he must hand it over!"

As it spoke, its true form shrank, and it landed in the small courtyard, rushing rapidly toward the three of them.

Hearing the Long Sheng's words, both the Seeing Yuanzu and the God King were stunned and couldn't help but glance at Li Hao.

Killed Huntian? Him?

Li Hao, however, had a bitter smile on his face, showing a helpless appearance, but he did not explain anything.

"You killed Huntian?"

Seeing this, the Seeing Yuanzu asked in a low voice.

Li Hao shook his head: "The Long Sheng has gone mad and is babbling nonsense. Even if I had the heart, I don't have the ability."

These words of his were also half-true and half-false, but they fit exactly what the Seeing Yuanzu was thinking. He knew Huntian had designs on Li Hao, but with the Path to Immortals and Gods imminent, he couldn't be bothered to pay attention to it. Even if Huntian used this to cultivate into the Divine Realm, it wouldn't hinder him; after all, his power was not just that of the Incense Divine Realm.

Huntian wanting to eat Li Hao was something Li Hao could sense, and it wasn't a strange thing; it was even possible that other Supremes had warned him about it.

"Has Huntian caused you trouble?"

The Seeing Yuanzu asked.

Li Hao nodded and said, "But I luckily escaped; fortunately, the environment here is complex..."

"Don't be long-winded! The Path to Immortals and Gods is right before us; are we opening it or not?"

The God King interrupted Li Hao's words, not wanting to hear his explanation. In his view, no matter how monstrous Li Hao was, it was impossible for him to kill Huntian.

Although Li Hao had defeated the Star Sage earlier, and his performance was shocking, that was all it was. Compared to a Supreme, he was still lacking quite a bit. Moreover, Huntian was one of the most extremely formidable among the Supremes, especially since he had become a Sage through his physical body, making him even more terrifying than the Long Sheng before them. No matter how monstrous Li Hao was, it was impossible for him to kill him.

One had to know that defeating a Supreme and killing a Supreme were two different things.

Supremes were not stupid; if they couldn't win, they could still escape. Their means of saving their lives were endless; it was impossible to be killed.

Even for him, wanting to kill a Supreme was extremely difficult; it would require all his effort to have a possibility, and it would require laying out a plan in advance. Otherwise, if the other party was determined to escape, he might not really be able to kill them.

Hearing the God King's urging, the Seeing Yuanzu's thoughts returned to the sculpture before him. However, he was cautious by nature and still said to Li Hao:

"The Long Sheng just said you have a peerless divine weapon; is it a fortuitous encounter you picked up from the ancient palace?"

"It's just a broken blade; its only function is that it's sharp."

Li Hao knew the other party was suspicious; pushing everything onto the Long Sheng's madness was not credible. He simply took out the broken blade and showed it to the two of them, then slashed the blade toward the Long Sheng in the distance.

The Long Sheng, who was rushing over rapidly, was immediately enraged and roared: "You are courting death!"

Blood light surged from its whole body, its palm turned into a dragon claw, and it covered Li Hao's head.

But the broken blade broke through the blood light, pierced through its palm, and then flew back into Li Hao's palm in an arc.

"What a fast blade!"

The Seeing Yuanzu's eyes condensed, and the God King's eyes also moved slightly. Both were somewhat surprised; they hadn't expected Li Hao to actually have a divine weapon, and one so sharp.

They both knew that the Long Sheng's physical body was extremely formidable; although not as good as Huntian's, it was still one of the best in the heavens.

Yet that broken blade had easily pierced through its palm; it was terrifyingly sharp.

As the broken blade flew back into Li Hao's hand, the Long Sheng's palm had already regenerated and healed. It flew over, wanting to duel with Li Hao.

The Seeing Yuanzu frowned slightly. Seeing the Long Sheng's maddened appearance, he worried it would affect the sculpture. His Sage Domain suddenly revealed itself; the flow of time seemed to slow down suddenly, and immediately after, the Long Sheng's aura actually began to decline.

Li Hao's expression changed slightly; this was the first time he had seen the Seeing Yuanzu strike.

That Sage Domain seemed to have the effect of reversing time; it was somewhat terrifying.

"If you don't want to die, be quiet!"

The God King also turned around and scolded sternly.

The Long Sheng was suppressed by the Seeing Yuanzu, its aura flickering uncertainly. Behind it, the phantom of the Long Huang appeared. It breathed heavily, its eyes blood-red, seemingly on the verge of madness: "You are shielding him? You will regret this!"

The Seeing Yuanzu ignored it and looked at the broken blade in Li Hao's hand. The first moment Li Hao took it out, he had detected that this broken blade was a fragment of a broken weapon, with no weapon soul.

"This weapon of yours, so sharp, it's possible it's an Immortal weapon fragment!"

The Seeing Yuanzu said in a low voice.

"Perhaps, but for now, it's just sharp enough."

Li Hao said. He revealed the broken blade to use it to show some of his own strength, raising his weight in the eyes of the two, to avoid them striking at will.

The God King glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze. He had already seen the function of this broken blade; besides being sharp, it was useless.

Although it had pierced the Long Sheng's palm earlier, it was also meaningless; relying only on this, it was impossible to kill a Supreme.

Even if it pierced it ten thousand times, it could heal in the blink of an eye.

"It's just a broken weapon; it's quite a threat to other Three Calamity Sages, though."

The God King shook his head and glanced at Li Hao; this dog-shit luck was not bad.

However, he had also explored the fork roads earlier and had also recovered treasures.

"When we go to the Path to Immortals and Gods, perhaps you will have a chance to repair a true Immortal weapon in the future."

The Seeing Yuanzu said to Li Hao.

It was just a fragment; to him, it wasn't that precious, far inferior to his Seven Calamity Emperor Weapon.

Besides being sharp, the special power and calamity power possessed by his Emperor Weapon were enough to pose a threat even to Supremes.

"Long Sheng, since you want to enter the Path to Immortals and Gods, then you come and open the path."

The Seeing Yuanzu said to the Long Sheng.

The Long Sheng stared fixedly at the three of Li Hao and said: "There is danger inside; don't even think about using me as a pathfinder!"

"That's not up to you!"

The God King snorted coldly. Almost without words, he reached a tacit understanding with the Seeing Yuanzu. Although they were each other's greatest enemies, at this very moment, they struck simultaneously, wanting to capture the Long Sheng.

Li Hao retreated slightly, sighing in his heart; sure enough, interests were eternal.

Even if they were mortal enemies for tens of thousands of years, they could temporarily put aside their hatred at this moment.

"Using me as a pathfinder, why isn't it him?!"

The Long Sheng roared, shouting in shock and anger.

Its emotional fluctuations were extremely great; its eye sockets were bloodshot and red, filled with resentment and hatred.

"Because you are too noisy."

The God King responded coldly. Divine flames surged from the ground beneath his feet. His Sage Domain and the Seeing Yuanzu's Sage Domain actually merged at this moment. Origin and Destruction, two types of power suppressed, and the Long Huang phantom behind the Long Sheng immediately dissipated. The blood light on its whole body was suppressed into its scales, and a brief moment of clarity actually appeared in its eyes.

"You..."

The Long Sheng was so angry it vomited blood. The other party didn't believe Li Hao could kill Huntian, so the softest persimmon here should be Li Hao, yet they chose it instead.

It rose up to resist, but the Seeing Yuanzu and the God King, the two most formidable existences in the heavens, joined forces. With the eruption of the Divine Realm and absolute suppression of power, the Long Sheng's Sage Domain was shattered, and its whole body was imprisoned; it couldn't even manage to resist.

Cold sweat overflowed from Li Hao's palms; if the God King and the Seeing Yuanzu joined forces to suppress him, he would be helpless.

With these two joining forces, currently, no one in the heavens should be able to escape their suppression.

Unfortunately, there was only one King.

"Open!"

The Seeing Yuanzu raised his hand and gently slapped the sculpture with one palm. The sculpture, like before, seemed to come back to life, radiating great pressure.

The Seeing Yuanzu's expression changed slightly, but he was knowledgeable and saw that the sculpture was not a life, but merely retained a portion of the sculpture owner's traces of time, purely used to scare people.

He pushed with his palm and moved the sculpture away, then saw that behind the sculpture was a pitch-black crack.

That crack emanated a vast, ethereal aura, and at the same time, there were waves of gloomy, destructive fluctuations, making one uneasy.

"Go!" The Seeing Yuanzu threw the Long Sheng's body inside, then followed closely behind.

The God King also traveled inside rapidly.

Li Hao hesitated, but still followed and stepped inside.

Just as he entered the crack, Li Hao saw that inside this crack was actually a vast starry sky!

In front of this starry sky, an ancient, towering door stood.

Complex and strange patterns were carved on that door; Li Hao only had to look at it once to feel dizzy, as if his brain were about to explode, and he wanted to vomit.

"Is that... a door?"

The eyes of both the Seeing Yuanzu and the God King changed, followed by the appearance of intense light.

They could feel an aura even thicker and more vast than before, constantly emanating from that door.

That kind of power was not the heaven and earth energy of the Land of All Sages, but an aura only felt when touching the Heavenly Dao; that was the legendary Immortal Qi! Li Hao also felt the Immortal Qi emanating from inside the door.

What is Immortal Qi? The origin common to all things between heaven and earth is Immortal Qi.

Li Hao had captured a trace of Immortal Qi earlier, using it to transform into an Immortal, and at this moment, that faint Immortal Qi was actually emanating directly from behind that door.

It was like delicious food, emanating an alluring fragrance.

Li Hao had a shocking feeling; if he could pass through this door and touch the true Immortal Qi behind it, he only needed to absorb and control it to immediately cultivate the Sixth Ultimate Realm! And at this moment, the obstruction of the door only had faint fluctuations coming from it.

"The Path to Immortals and Gods, it really is true..."

Light appeared in the Seeing Yuanzu's eyes, and then his Sage Domain suddenly erupted, enveloping the God King.

The God King, however, seemed to have anticipated this; divine flames burned in his Sage Domain, and he slashed out with a sword in anger, hacking toward the Seeing Yuanzu's Sage Domain.

A crack was hacked into the Seeing Yuanzu's Sage Domain; he flipped his palm, and a whisk-like long whip appeared.

That was his Seven Calamity Emperor Weapon.

This long whip emanated thick calamity power; calamity clouds immediately appeared in the surroundings, and lightning was born in the void.

"Hmph, this time without the help of the Sages, can you really kill me?"

The God King glanced coldly at that divine whip, then sneered and said to the Seeing Yuanzu.

"You haven't tasted the flavor of the Heaven-Suppressing Whip in a long time, have you?"

The Seeing Yuanzu said with a calm expression.

The God King's eyes turned cold; back then, he had been whipped by this whip until his divine bones were shattered and his skin was torn, eventually being suppressed—it was extremely miserable.

"You can't kill me, and I can't kill you. If you have the ability, wait until we enter the world of Immortals and Gods; you and I will cultivate for another ten thousand years and see who has the last laugh!"

The God King said with a cold face, yet extremely rationally.

Although he had come for revenge, he knew that wanting to kill the Seeing Yuanzu was very difficult!

The God race army could not enter the ancient palace; he could not sacrifice the whole race, and some means could not be used, so he could only temporarily endure.

The Seeing Yuanzu sneered, but just as he was about to say something, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he looked abruptly toward the door.

Just as they were fighting, the Long Sheng had already rushed to the door, slapping its palm toward the door, wanting to enter.

"I let you scout the path, I didn't let you go first!"

The Seeing Yuanzu struck abruptly, and the Origin Sage Domain suppressed toward the Long Sheng.

The Long Sheng revealed its true form, its body of several tens of miles spanning the starry sky, roaring. Blood lightning was born in its dragon claws, wanting to tear apart the Seeing Yuanzu's Sage Domain.

Seeing this, the God King also raised his hand and slashed out with a sword, actually hacking off the Long Sheng's sharp claws.

The two, who were about to fight fiercely, attacked each other simultaneously, and the Long Sheng was immediately suppressed.

Li Hao stood to the side as a transparent figure, watching silently, but he knew that both the Seeing Yuanzu and the God King had their attention on him. He did not act rashly, so he did not provoke their killing intent.

Once the Long Sheng was suppressed, the Seeing Yuanzu and the God King rushed toward the door almost simultaneously.

Very quickly, they arrived before this strange, ancient door. This door was extremely massive, several tens of zhang high, standing in the starry sky. Behind the door, it was impossible to pass through; it seemed there was an invisible barrier obstructing it.

Li Hao had long noticed that although this was a starry sky, there was a barrier in the surroundings. The countless stars in the distance could only be viewed from afar and could not be touched.

But for some reason, the stars gave Li Hao a feeling that they seemed deeper and more brilliant than what he had seen outside.

"The two of you, be careful; there seems to be danger behind this door."

Li Hao reminded them feignedly.

In fact, there was no need for him to say it; a trace of solemnity had also appeared on the faces of the Seeing Yuanzu and the God King.

The aura emanating from the sculpture earlier was emanating from inside the door. Besides that vast Immortal Qi, there were also waves of gloomy, depressed killing intent, making one feel uneasy.

The Seeing Yuanzu was silent. The Path to Immortals and Gods was right before his eyes—retreat? He could not let the God King go first. If the other party entered first and destroyed the door, cultivating into an Immortal and God alone in that Immortal world, they would inevitably return to take revenge on him.

The God King stared at the door and slowly raised his hand, pressing it against the door.

Seeing this, the Seeing Yuanzu just stared fixedly at the God King's palm, not making a move.

At this moment, the complex patterns on the door suddenly seemed to come back to life, violently erupting with a silver-white light.

With a bang.

This light was like the star-flash of a star exploding; it was too fast to defend against, and both the Seeing Yuanzu and the God King were shaken and flew backward.

Both of their Sage Domains were eroded and destroyed by that power.

Blood overflowed from the Seeing Yuanzu's mouth; his Sage Domain actually disintegrated instantly like ice and snow, and he was severely injured.

Although the Sage Domain could be condensed again, the Sage Dao within the Sage Domain had been severed by that power and could not be restored in a short time.

The God King's expression was also not good; like the Seeing Yuanzu, he was severely injured, his Sage Dao severed, and his strength greatly diminished.

When their Sage Domains were destroyed, the Long Sheng was also freed from imprisonment. Seeing the two's appearance, it immediately laughed out loud and said: "I intended to scout the path for you, but you didn't appreciate it and insisted on going yourselves. Now it's a fine mess!"

While mocking, its body turned rapidly, killing toward the Seeing Yuanzu.

Compared to Li Hao, it was currently even more furious at the Seeing Yuanzu.

The Seeing Yuanzu's expression turned cold; he raised his hand abruptly, and the Heaven-Suppressing Whip in his palm lashed out violently.

A series of intense, star-explosion-like vibrating sounds were born in the void. Thick calamity power suddenly enveloped the Long Sheng, and those star-explosion vibrating sounds appeared on its dragon body. In an instant, there were nine rings, and the Long Sheng's body also exploded nine times, breaking into minced meat.

Not only was its body shattered by the Heaven-Suppressing Whip, but even its Sage Domain was broken, and its Sage Dao was affected.

The Long Sheng's shattered body fled into the distance, looking at the Seeing Yuanzu in shock and anger.

"This whip hasn't whipped you before, so you don't know the pain, right?"

The Seeing Yuanzu glanced at it coldly, then looked at the God King. Seeing that the other party's condition was not much better than his own, he felt slightly relieved in his heart, then focused his eyes on the door.

On the door, the patterns that had been twisting earlier now returned to their original state.

The Seeing Yuanzu's eyes flickered. As the oldest Sage, it was no exaggeration to say he was the most knowledgeable.

That seemed to be the means of an Immortal, forbidding others from touching it. An Immortal had used power to seal this door, closing the path leading to Immortals and Gods here.

Beside him, the God King stabilized his injuries and his body flew to the door again, but this time he did not strike rashly, instead observing with concentration.

The Seeing Yuanzu also moved closer, observing for a moment, and suddenly saw a gap in one of the patterns.

It was precisely that gap that allowed the Immortal and God aura inside the door to emanate, which was why they had detected the abnormality behind this statue.

"It seems that the power of Immortals and Gods is also failing."

Thoughts appeared in the Seeing Yuanzu's eyes. He and the God King looked at each other; they were opponents, but at the same time, they were also the people who had once been most familiar with each other.

No words were needed to know each other's thoughts.

The God King nodded slightly, and then the two joined forces simultaneously. The God King waved his sword, and the Seeing Yuanzu also brandished that Heaven-Suppressing Whip. The energy in the starry sky churned like a sea, condensing toward their weapons, concentrating to a point, and then suddenly hitting the gap in the patterns simultaneously.

With a bang, the star-explosion light from before appeared again.

This time, the two were prepared and retreated rapidly while striking, but the speed of the light's vibration was too fast, and both were still swept by it.

Their bodies fell out, and they discovered that their Sage Dao had actually been severed a bit more.

Looking at the door, however, it was completely undamaged; there was no change at the gap in the patterns, and the gap had not expanded.

With their combined strength, they were actually unable to break this door.

Shock appeared in the eyes of the two, but soon it was replaced by an even more determined look. This was the power of Immortals and Gods; as Supremes, they had already glimpsed the Heavenly Dao, but this power of Immortals and Gods was actually even more mysterious and terrifying. It was hard to imagine what kind of great power those Immortals and Gods possessed.

Li Hao stood in the distance, watching silently, but he saw some clues.

At that gap, there was a faint slit; this door could actually be passed through.

It was just that neither the Seeing Yuanzu nor the God King seemed to have detected it, or rather, they couldn't see this slit.

Because that slit could only accommodate the passage of faint Immortal Qi.

"Haha, you can't get in; no one can get in. So what if you found the path? It's sealed off. Someone once said this was a discarded realm; it really is true..."

Seeing this, the Long Sheng let out a mad, laughing sound, its whole body surrounded by blood light, emanating from its scales. Its expression was sometimes ferocious, sometimes mocking as it looked at the Seeing Yuanzu and the God King.

The Seeing Yuanzu did not speak, just stared fixedly at the door.

After a long time, he slowly turned his head and looked toward Li Hao.

Li Hao thought it was just a casual glance from the other party, but when he met the Seeing Yuanzu's eyes, a sense of alertness suddenly rose in his heart; he had a bad feeling.

That look seemed to see something.

The God King, however, was staring at the door, silent, as if pondering other matters.

"Hao Tian, do you have a way to get in?"

Suddenly, the Seeing Yuanzu's voice came into Li Hao's mind.

Li Hao's heart tightened; he showed a helpless tone and replied via sound transmission: "If even you and the God King have no way, then I have even less of a way."

"That's not necessarily true. I heard that Immortals and Gods once left because something major happened. Perhaps the Immortals and Gods deliberately sealed this realm, but that restriction outside needs your power to open. Perhaps the Immortals and Gods specifically left a path, and this path must rely on your Sixth Ultimate Realm power to pass through."

The Seeing Yuanzu said via sound transmission.

Li Hao also felt the Seeing Yuanzu's deep thoughts at this moment; he had actually considered this point.

Indeed, he felt that if he entered the Immortal Transformation state, he could squeeze in through the gap in the door.

But if he really exposed this, what awaited him would definitely not be praise, but a great disaster.

These two before him would never allow others to enter the Path to Immortals and Gods before them, because they feared that the person who entered first would destroy this path, or reinforce and seal it.

Human hearts are hard to fathom; who could easily entrust this path leading to the supreme to others? "What you say makes sense, but I really have no way."

Li Hao said via sound transmission with a bitter smile.

The Seeing Yuanzu said in a low voice via sound transmission: "Try it. If you can get in, I will help you hold back the God King. I believe in your character; if you can really open this path, the heavens will thank you."

Li Hao sneered slightly in his heart; naturally, he wouldn't be moved by these words, but he knew that if he didn't do something, the Seeing Yuanzu would definitely not let him go.

"Then I will try."

Li Hao said via sound transmission.

Immediately, he walked toward the door.

The God King detected Li Hao approaching and turned his head to glance at him, coldness appearing in his eyes.

The Seeing Yuanzu said: "Let him try. He has the power of the Sixth Ultimate Realm, and that kind of power seems to be of the same origin as the aura inside this door; it's extremely similar. Perhaps he has a way."

The God King's eyes flickered, but he didn't speak, nor did he release killing intent toward Li Hao again.

Seeing this, Li Hao approached the door. In front of the two, he entered the Immortal Transformation state, and then raised his hand to touch the door.

Under the ultimate Immortal Transformation, his body merged with the heavens and earth, and he was faintly able to flow in through the gap in the door.

Li Hao secretly thought to himself that it was as expected; just as he had observed earlier, he could indeed get in, but he could only squeeze in extremely slowly.

And once he really squeezed in, the Seeing Yuanzu and the God King would definitely see this process and then stop him.

Li Hao immediately let his power wander at the gap, but did not go deep inside. After putting on such a show, he withdrew his palm.

"No way."

Li Hao shook his head with a bitter smile.

The Seeing Yuanzu stared fixedly at him, "The restriction on this didn't attack you, which shows your power is indeed of the same origin."

The God King also stared fixedly at Li Hao, cold killing intent appearing in his eyes.

Li Hao's expression changed slightly, and he nodded: "Perhaps that is the reason."

"Hand over the cultivation method for the Sixth Ultimate Realm! In consideration of the fact that you know the God-Woman of my clan's descendants, I can spare your life!"

The God King said coldly.

The Seeing Yuanzu's expression, however, was relatively gentle: "Hao Tian, this Sixth Ultimate Realm was only cultivated by you. Do you have any insights? Spread the Sage Dao widely, and your fame will spread throughout the heavens, and you will also receive endless incense."

Li Hao's heart sank; he hadn't expected that he still wouldn't escape it—the thoughts of these two had turned to the Sixth Ultimate Realm.

Earlier, they only treated him as a key, but now they wanted to cultivate it themselves.

"This method cannot be cultivated just by being passed on; it requires self-realization. Even if I said it, would the two of you really believe me?"

Li Hao said.

The God King said coldly: "You are not even 30 years old, yet you have cultivated to this degree. Even if our aptitude is not as good as yours, and we are ten times duller than you, ten years! If we can cultivate it within ten years, then you have spoken the truth. If we still can't cultivate it within ten years, then don't blame us!"

The Seeing Yuanzu did not speak, just watched Li Hao quietly.

At this moment, there was no need for much disguise for the fake pretense.

They both wanted to obtain the Sixth Ultimate Realm; at the very least, touching the door wouldn't result in being attacked, which would make it convenient for them to study how to open this door properly.

"This Sixth Ultimate Realm, the more you want to cultivate it, the less you can. If you can't realize it, a hundred or a thousand years will be useless."

Li Hao said.

"So, you are unwilling to say?" The God King's eyes narrowed slightly.

Li Hao was silent. Ten years—this meant that not only did he have to say all his own insights, but he also had to stay under the other party's nose for ten years.

If they couldn't cultivate it, the first person they would settle accounts with would be him.

If they did cultivate it, they likely wouldn't keep him either.

"A dilemma, then."

Li Hao said in a low voice.

The Seeing Yuanzu said in a gentle voice: "Hao Tian, you are a smart person. This matter concerns the heavens; you don't need to have too many concerns. We just want to enter the Path to Immortals and Gods and not let others walk in front of us. We just don't want others to destroy this path. If I enter the Path to Immortals and Gods, I will definitely make this path open, letting the heavens all have a chance to step onto the Immortal path and cultivate into Immortals and Gods together."

Li Hao nodded slightly and said: "You don't let others enter first because you don't want to entrust your fate to others to control. Since that is the case, how can I believe you and entrust my fate to you to control?"

"Hao Tian, do not be an enemy of the heavens."

The Seeing Yuanzu said in a low voice: "Even if you don't say it, we will be able to figure it out sooner or later."

"Then figure it out yourselves."

Li Hao said: "I can guarantee that before you cultivate it, I will leave this place and never step foot here again. I have no intention of exploring the Immortal path; after all, I am still young, and the world of the heavens is vast and boundless; I haven't even grown tired of the human world yet..."

"You don't know what's good for you!"

The God King interrupted Li Hao's words violently, killing intent appearing in his eyes, "One last question: will you say it or not?"
