Chapter 603
Hearing the God King's angry shout, Li Hao remained silent.
After a long while, he said in a low voice, "If I pass it on to you, and you cultivate it one after another, there will inevitably be differences in speed. What should be done then?"
These words brought the hidden conflict out into the open.
The God King and the Seeing Yuanzu exchanged a glance. The God King said coldly, "Ten years! If one of us cultivates it first, they must wait until the other has also cultivated it before we can contemplate the Immortal Gate together."
The Seeing Yuanzu nodded slightly, "Agreed."
Li Hao, however, shook his head slightly and said, "You two don't know much about the Sixth Extreme Realm, but you have seen me demonstrate it. You should be able to tell that this Sixth Extreme Realm greatly enhances combat power. Your strengths are currently on par; if one of you masters the Sixth Extreme Realm first, this balance will inevitably be broken. Will you really wait?"
What a slippery brat... the Seeing Yuanzu thought to himself upon hearing Li Hao's words.
This was shifting the conflict onto him and the God King ahead of time.
They had no idea how much combat power this mysterious Sixth Extreme Realm could enhance, but seeing Li Hao demonstrate it, they could feel his aura surging violently because of it.
As for whether Li Hao was still holding back or hiding anything, they could not fathom.
For a moment, both the God King and the Seeing Yuanzu fell silent. If the balance of combat power shifted too drastically, they knew they would certainly not wait for the other side.
While they were deep in thought, Li Hao remained standing at the doorway without moving, looking as if he were quietly waiting for their answer.
"Brat, your mind is cunning enough."
After a brief silence, the God King looked coldly at Li Hao and said, "Thinking of using our conflict to escape—your thinking is quite good, but the conflict you speak of is not unsolvable. You just need to pass on the technique; we have our own ways of dealing with it."
The Seeing Yuanzu said to the God King, "You and I will join forces to seal this place for twenty years. Only after twenty years will this place be able to open again. In this way, no matter who comprehends it first, they won't be able to come here alone. As for twenty years... if the other side still hasn't comprehended it, then they deserve their bad luck."
"Fine!"
The God King nodded.
If Li Hao could comprehend the Sixth Extreme Realm, then with Li Hao's guidance, ten years would be enough for them to comprehend it as well.
If ten years wasn't enough, then twenty years would be.
If they still couldn't comprehend it after twenty years, then there was truly nothing more to say. He was extremely confident in his own natural talent; after all, he was an existence who had once independently pioneered a path to sainthood through the Extreme Dao, and he was the ancestor of the God Race, whose prestige had dominated several eras.
Li Hao sighed secretly in his heart. Sure enough, there were no simple-minded people among those who had cultivated to the Supreme Sage realm; they had thought of a way to resolve this conflict so quickly.
He was silent for a moment, then quietly transmitted his voice to the Seeing Yuanzu, saying, "Seeing Yuanzu, you and I join forces to slay the demon. I will pass the true technique to you and a false technique to the God King. It will be impossible for him to cultivate it even in twenty years. But after I pass this technique to you, you must protect my life. How about it?"
When the Seeing Yuanzu suddenly heard Li Hao's voice transmission, his expression remained unchanged, extremely calm, and his eyes didn't even flicker.
Slippery brat... the Seeing Yuanzu chuckled inwardly, yet he admired Li Hao. To be able to see through their murderous intent and come up with such a self-preservation method in this desperate situation—he could be considered to have extraordinary intelligence.
However, appreciation was appreciation; it didn't mean he would change his mind.
"Very well, I will certainly protect you."
The Seeing Yuanzu replied via voice transmission.
Li Hao smiled. After transmitting to the Seeing Yuanzu, he immediately followed up by transmitting to the God King.
The content was exactly the same, only the target was swapped.
The God King's expression also remained unchanged, and he replied via voice transmission, "No problem."
Seeing that both had agreed, Li Hao sighed in his heart, but a rich smile appeared on his face. He then said, "To cultivate the Sixth Extreme Realm, one must perceive heaven and earth. I said before, not contending is contending; only by not contending can one be invincible. The secret of the Sixth Extreme Realm lies between all things..."
He spoke in general terms, claiming to pass the true technique to each, but in reality, he was passing false techniques to both.
After Li Hao finished speaking, he transmitted another set of false techniques to the Seeing Yuanzu and the God King respectively.
When Li Hao finished passing the techniques, the expressions of the Seeing Yuanzu and the God King softened. They exchanged a glance, and the Seeing Yuanzu said softly, "Hao Tian, you are indeed the smartest person I have ever seen since the ancient times."
"Indeed."
The God King echoed from the side, but his expression remained cold as he said, "It's just a pity that smart people often die young. Now, you should also be on your way in peace!"
Li Hao's expression froze, and he said, "God King, you..."
"Although you are very smart, we are not so easily played in the palm of your hand. When you were transmitting your voice, we had already communicated with each other and guessed that you would use such tricks."
The God King said coldly, "If you can transmit your voice to me, I naturally would consider that you could also transmit your voice to the Seeing Yuanzu."
"Indeed."
The Seeing Yuanzu nodded.
"But you are enemies..."
Li Hao revealed an expression of disbelief.
The Seeing Yuanzu sighed, "True, but we also understand each other best."
"Now, you can die with understanding."
The God King sneered, his divine flames suddenly surging, and the Destruction Holy Domain suddenly emerged, enveloping Li Hao.
"Ancestor!"
A cry of alarm rang out from the crack.
Li Hao looked up and saw a cyan-blue figure; it was Ying Ying Xiaoxiao.
She had rushed here and, seeing the God King attacking Li Hao, her expression changed drastically, filled with panic.
Li Hao only glanced at her; he had no time to say anything. His Eternal Dao Domain also erupted, and at the same time, his body drilled toward the gap inside the doorway at full speed.
His body was in a state of Immortal Transformation, having long since merged with heaven and earth. The "form" seen was only a part of his body, while the rest had merged into heaven and earth, silently drilling through the gap in the doorway.
Boom! The Eternal Dao Domain shattered. The Destruction Holy Domain contained the power of the Extreme Dao God Realm. The Holy Domain was extremely terrifying, like unstoppable boulders rolling down, crushing toward Li Hao.
"What are you doing?!"
The Seeing Yuanzu noticed Li Hao's actions and couldn't help but have his expression change drastically.
Li Hao looked at him coldly and said, "Sorry, I never trusted you at all."
"His power is disappearing; he seems to have found a way to enter the doorway!"
The God King also noticed Li Hao's aura shifting at this moment. His expression changed drastically, and he let out an angry roar, his whole body bursting with brilliant light as he charged toward Li Hao.
The Seeing Yuanzu also erupted with a heaven-shaking aura, all his Extreme Realms revealed. His body seemed to tear through the void, appearing before Li Hao in an instant, the Heaven-Suppressing Whip in his hand lashing toward Li Hao's body.
With a bang, Li Hao's body didn't have time to dodge and was lashed into pieces by the Heaven-Suppressing Whip.
He had previously consumed the demon body of Huntian, and his physical body had grown to the level of a Five-Tribulation Emperor Weapon. As a result, under the Heaven-Suppressing Whip, it shattered in an instant, unable to resist.
However, while this part of his body shattered, another part of Li Hao's body had already passed through the gap and drilled into the doorway.
"Goodbye, I will return..."
As his body dissipated, Li Hao's consciousness also slowly faded, leaving only an echo.
The God King also rushed to the doorway. Li Hao's aura had already been shattered, broken into pieces under the Heaven-Suppressing Whip, but they could feel that Li Hao had already transferred a part of his body into the doorway. His current state was at most a serious injury; he was not dead at all, and he had even stepped onto that Immortal God Path.
"Damn it!"
The God King was furious, feeling played.
"He won't destroy the Immortal Path, will he?"
The Seeing Yuanzu, however, had a pale face. That was the wish of countless ages, the only thing that could make him change color in shock. If Li Hao were to sever the Immortal God Path, he would not want to bear that kind of despair, nor would he want to think about it.
The God King's face was so gloomy it was about to drip water; he did not respond to the Seeing Yuanzu.
At this very moment, how could he not understand? Li Hao had first proposed the conflict that would occur between him and the Seeing Yuanzu to make them ponder and buy himself time, and later he had passed the techniques, which was also to buy time. The other party had long been quietly transferring his body into the doorway.
The other party had never intended to rely on them to survive.
Everything was a delay, a way to stabilize them and divert their attention.
They thought they had seen through Li Hao's tricks, but it turned out they were on the second floor, while Li Hao was on the third.
"Hao Tian..."
Ying Ying Xiaoxiao was stunned. She seemed to understand what was going on and was somewhat startled. In her heart, she was both relieved and somewhat worried and nervous.
It looked like the Ancestor had been completely enraged.
"..."
The Seeing Yuanzu stared at the doorway with an extremely ugly expression. In countless ages, there hadn't been many situations that could cause his state of mind to fluctuate so greatly. At this moment, he felt a strong regret that he hadn't killed Li Hao directly earlier.
Even without that Sixth Extreme Realm cultivation technique, he believed that if he spent a few more ages, he would eventually be able to comprehend it.
It was just a matter of time.
But now, if this Immortal God Path were severed by Li Hao, there would be no hope at all.
The God King raised his hand, wanting to smash his fist against the doorway, but thinking of the previous vibration, he held back. It was just that this anger was becoming more and more unbearable to hold in.
"Damn it!!"
He stomped his feet fiercely, and the surrounding starry sky seemed to tremble slightly.
In the distance, the Long Sheng, covered in blood, sneered, feeling satisfied. But thinking of Li Hao, he felt annoyed and hateful in his heart. Why didn't these people perish together and all go to die?
At this moment, waves of Sage auras were rapidly approaching.
Behind Ying Ying Xiaoxiao, more and more Sages were gathering.
"What's the situation?"
"This... starry sky?"
"That door..."
The Sages who rushed over all saw the anomaly here. After passing through the crack behind the sculpture and arriving at this starry sky, they were all shocked.
Soon, they noticed the doorway standing in the starry sky, and the shock on their faces turned into excitement.
Without a doubt, that was the Immortal God Path! "The Immortal God Path, it actually exists!"
"The aura emanating from that doorway, I have never felt it before."
"The Seeing Yuanzu and the God King are also here; it seems we have come to the right place."
Many Sages gathered. Among the crowd, the Sword Sage, the Sword Lord, the Literary Sage, and others had also gathered here.
The Sword Lord arrived here and looked around, somewhat shocked. Soon, his mind was also drawn by that doorway.
Hearing the excited discussions around him, he scanned the area, but did not see Li Hao's figure, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
At this moment, several Supreme Sage auras appeared in the crowd. The Name Sage, the Mohist Sage, and other Supreme Sages had also arrived here.
As more and more people gathered here, the expressions of the Seeing Yuanzu and the God King became increasingly gloomy.
"Is this the Immortal God Path?"
The Name Sage looked at the doorway, his eyes flickering, and said to the Seeing Yuanzu, "Is there anything mysterious about it? Why are you two hesitating here?"
He did not rashly open the door; the Seeing Yuanzu and the God King staying here must mean there was an anomaly.
The other Sages, upon hearing this, also calmed down and looked suspiciously at the Seeing Yuanzu and the God King. Could it be that there was some difficult obstacle here? The Seeing Yuanzu and the God King, however, were in no mood to speak at this moment, only keeping gloomy faces.
The Long Sheng saw this scene and sneered, "This door cannot be touched unless one has mastered the Sixth Extreme Realm. Just now, that Hao Tian already squeezed half his body in. Everyone, don't be happy too soon; that brat is ruthless. If he severs the Immortal God Path, we will never be able to step on it again!"
Hearing the Long Sheng's words, the Sages were all stunned, and then their expressions changed drastically.
The Mohist Supreme Sage, the Name Sage, the Medical Sage, and others were also stunned and immediately looked at the Seeing Yuanzu and the God King.
Upon seeing their gloomy expressions, they immediately understood that what the Long Sheng said was true.
"You... how could you...?"
The Name Sage looked at the Seeing Yuanzu and the God King in disbelief, unable to understand.
How could these two, combined, let Hao Tian squeeze into that doorway right under their noses?
Did they let Hao Tian go explore the path? Or was it that because they were hostile to each other, they let the other party take advantage of the loophole?
The expressions of the Mohist Sage and the Medical Sage were somewhat complex. Having finally found the Immortal God Path, was it going to be severed just like that? All hope could only be pinned on whether Hao Tian had a great heart and whether he could tolerate them. The Sword Lord heard the Long Sheng's words and was stunned for a moment, his expression changing slightly.
He glanced at the doorway and felt a secret relief in his heart. He hadn't seen Huntian earlier and had already thought of the worst-case scenario, but it seemed Li Hao was fine.
"Everyone, don't worry. Hao Tian's temperament is indifferent. If the Immortal God Path can truly be traversed, he will likely return to meet everyone; he will certainly not do something like burning the bridge after crossing it," the Sword Lord said.
Hearing his words, many people looked at him, knowing that the Sword Lord had some friendship with Li Hao.
It was just that, at this point, in the face of such temptation as becoming an Immortal God, the Sword Lord could still trust Hao Tian. It was unknown whether their friendship was too deep or if this Sword Lord was somewhat naive.
Or perhaps, was Hao Tian really as he said? But the other party had leveled the Buddhist Sect, destroyed the Void Holy Land, and swept through everything earlier; he looked like a ruthless person who hated evil.
"Haha, you think too simply."
The Long Sheng heard the Sword Lord's words and laughed, mocking:
"If it were a normal situation, perhaps as you say, there would be a thirty percent chance, but just now, that Hao Tian provoked their murderous intent and was forced into that doorway by them. He will inevitably sever that Immortal God Path. To see him again, unless he becomes an Immortal God and returns to this world to take revenge!"
The Sages were all stunned, their expressions changed instantly, and their gazes fell squarely on the Seeing Yuanzu and the God King.
Forced into that door by their pursuit? If so, he would inevitably hold a grudge.
The Name Sage, the Mohist Sage, and others suddenly understood in their hearts. No wonder the Seeing Yuanzu and the God King had such ugly expressions. With them present, they had actually let Li Hao get there first; it turned out to be this situation.
"You..."
The Mohist Sage looked at the Seeing Yuanzu and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
The Name Sage frowned and said, "With you two joining forces, couldn't you stop him? With your strength, you should have been able to kill him in an instant, right?"
The God King only gave him a cold glance, then his gaze fell on the Long Sheng, murderous intent appearing in his eyes, "I didn't have time to deal with you earlier, but you talk too much. I want to see what kind of evil you've been struck by to have so much nonsense!"
As he spoke, he suddenly killed toward the Long Sheng.
The Long Sheng's expression changed, and he said in shock and anger, "What madness are you in? You offended Hao Tian yourself and let him squeeze in, and now you're taking it out on me? If it weren't for you, perhaps he could have left the Immortal God Path. It is you who severed the Immortal God Path!"
He had pointed this out earlier because he was irritable and wanted to shift everyone's hatred onto them.
If not for the influence of that strange blood, he would definitely not have talked so much under normal circumstances.
"Die!"
The God King was murderous, quickly fighting with the Long Sheng. The Destruction Holy Domain suppressed him, and with one sword, he severed the Long Sheng's body, revealing terrifying power.
The Long Sheng, as a Supreme Sage, was actually suppressed by the God King in one exchange and was at a disadvantage. The Sages watched in horror and couldn't help but avoid them, but no one stepped forward to help.
Although the Seeing Yuanzu had called the God King a demon earlier, such rhetoric could only deceive the common people. Now that the Seeing Yuanzu hadn't made a move, naturally no one was willing to provoke the God King.
Many Sages' gazes fell on the Seeing Yuanzu, but the Seeing Yuanzu seemed to have lost his will to fight at this moment. His face was pale, and he stood before the doorway, looking somewhat lost. Seeing him like this, the Sages were all stunned; it was the first time they had seen the Seeing Yuanzu in such a state.
For countless ages, the other party had always been calm and composed, as if nothing could affect him. But now, it suddenly made people realize that the Seeing Yuanzu seemed to have aged, slowly aging from that supreme position.
In the crowd, Xiao Xiao Tianyu saw his master in this state and was somewhat shocked. He had never seen his master lose his composure like this and couldn't help but want to call out, but he held back.
"Seeing Yuanzu, what should we do now? And this God King..."
The Name Sage couldn't help but transmit his voice to the Seeing Yuanzu.
He was also one of the Supreme Sages who had besieged the God King back then. He hadn't cooperated with the Seeing Yuanzu earlier because he wanted them to check and balance each other on the Immortal God Path. But now that this Immortal God Path was blocked and might even be severed, this God King was a disaster.
If the Seeing Yuanzu didn't make a move, the God King would settle scores with the original Supreme Sages one by one, and no one could stop him.
The Seeing Yuanzu heard the Name Sage's words but acted as if he hadn't heard, only staring blankly at the doorway.
For a long time, following a series of heaven-shaking and earth-shattering intense clashes, the Long Sheng let out a wail and escaped from the crack. His blood-red aura had been slashed away quite a bit, and the Long Sheng's consciousness seemed to have cleared up a lot, so he fled directly from this place.
The God King did not pursue him. Although Li Hao had already entered the doorway, he still wanted to stay here to see if there were any other changes.
"You say, if the aura inside this door hasn't changed, does it mean the Immortal God Path hasn't been severed yet?"
Suddenly, the Seeing Yuanzu, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up abruptly.
The Sages were startled and couldn't help but look at that door.
They could all feel the vast and ethereal aura emanating from inside the door.
The Medical Sage's eyes flickered, and she said, "Everyone, the Sages of the heavens are basically all here. Why don't we all think of a way to see how to crack this doorway? By gathering the power of all our Sages, perhaps we can find a way to crack it."
Hearing her words, the Seeing Yuanzu's eyes suddenly brightened.
Indeed, the Sages of the heavens each had their own opportunities. Although he was the most ancient Sage, he dared not say that his knowledge could rival the combined knowledge of all the Sages of the heavens. Some Sages had explored other forbidden areas, ruins, or obtained some unknown opportunities, which might be able to establish a connection with this doorway.
After all, those who could cultivate to become Sages basically all had rare and secret great opportunities.
"That's right, before he destroys the Immortal God Path, let us all think of a way. When the doorway opens, we will all step onto the Immortal God Path together!"
The Seeing Yuanzu said immediately.
The Sages looked at each other; at this point, it seemed this was the only way.
The God King, seeing this, also said nothing, only sitting down to the side to recuperate the Holy Dao that had been injured by the doorway earlier.
As the Sages worked together to crack the patterns on the door, on the other side, Li Hao's body entered the doorway. After passing through the gap, he arrived at a dark passage.
This passage was pitch black, and Li Hao's spiritual sense seemed to be enveloped by darkness, unable to perceive the surroundings.
He could not distinguish the direction and could only keep moving forward.
The Immortal aura became increasingly dense, but at the same time, waves of low, moaning evil thoughts drifted over, seeming to want to surround him, and his whole body felt somewhat cold.
After walking forward like this for a long time, finally, a light appeared before his eyes.
When Li Hao walked out of the light, his perception finally recovered, and he saw the scene before him.
This was an ancient road shrouded in mist, with towering giant peaks on both sides, as if he were in a large canyon.
Li Hao looked back; the road he came from was not a road, but that doorway!
It was an identical door, and the patterns on it seemed to be the same as well.
Likewise, Li Hao also saw the gap in the patterns, and the position was the same.
The dark area he had walked through earlier seemed to be the mustard space within that gap.
Li Hao was slightly stunned, but soon came back to his senses and immediately gathered his power, condensing it into a physical body.
Previously, his physical body had undergone Immortal Transformation and dispersed into heaven and earth. A part of it had been severed and destroyed by the Seeing Yuanzu and the God King, and only a small part had entered the gap and arrived here. His strength had declined, not as good as before.
Li Hao looked at the gray, hazy canyon ahead, feeling a sense of unease in his heart. Everything before him seemed different from the Immortal God world he had imagined.
There were no birds singing or flowers fragrant; instead, there was a sense of vastness, coldness, and dead grayness.
Li Hao pondered for a moment and did not rush to explore forward, but sat down in front of the doorway. He entered the state of Immortal Transformation again, and at the same time, released the Myriad Star Veins to gather power and heal his injuries.
To avoid being detected by the Seeing Yuanzu and the God King, he had drilled into the gap extremely slowly, resulting in less than a quarter of his body arriving here, and he was severely injured.
Fortunately, he could be reborn from a drop of blood; as long as one drop of blood remained, he could heal.
As the Myriad Star Veins were revealed, Li Hao immediately sensed that something was wrong.
Vast and majestic power surged into his body, and his injuries were healing rapidly. At the same time, Li Hao felt that the power drawn by the Myriad Star Veins was more terrifying than before, as if it could fill his body in the blink of an eye!
"This star power..."
Li Hao couldn't help but look up at the sky. The gray mist like haze obscured it, and his naked eye couldn't look through it directly, but he could still see several bright stars shining through the thin mist.
Those seemed to be... real stars!
Li Hao was somewhat lost in thought. He felt that the Myriad Star Veins could only display their true appearance here.
Not long after, Li Hao's aura became strong again, and his injuries were completely healed.
Li Hao felt that if he only used one-tenth of the Myriad Star Veins, the effect would be comparable to his full burst before.
Moreover, the power diffusing in the air around him was extremely pure. As soon as he absorbed it into his body, it quickly merged with his body, carrying an elegant and majestic momentum, and the power was extremely light and pure.
Under the influence of this power, his Dao bones and divine blood seemed to be undergoing subtle changes as well.
Li Hao felt that if he continued to stay here, his physical body would inevitably be improved again and become even more terrifying.
"Is this where the Immortal Gods stay..."
Li Hao's eyes flickered. He felt that if an ordinary person were to cultivate here, even if they just ate and slept, they would be affected by these free-roaming powers, and their constitution would be greatly improved and changed.
However, besides the density of this power, the constant aura of evil thoughts had a great impact. If there were really an ordinary martial artist here, they would likely have already gone mad by now.
"This feeling seems somewhat similar to the Long Sheng earlier. Could that strange blood come from here?"
Li Hao's eyes flickered as he looked at the canyon ahead, feeling a bit more cautious in his heart.
He activated his Primordial Spirit, and his spiritual sense spread out, but he found that it was hindered. Those light and majestic powers he had absorbed earlier, when not refined by him, instead became countless dust-like existences in the void, and he could only detect the situation about ten miles ahead.
And along this path he was investigating, Li Hao saw that the road was full of dilapidated black stones, and besides that, there were quite a few skeletons and broken weapons scattered on the ground.
"Here... seems to be a battlefield?"
Li Hao was somewhat stunned. He walked forward and arrived at the first skeleton.
This skeleton was now only left with white bones, lying on a black corpse. The skull had fallen off, one arm bone and one leg bone were missing, and several ribs were broken. In its other hand bone, it tightly gripped a battle saber.
That battle saber, however, had already lost all its luster, and the blade was curled.
On its body were a few pieces of tattered silk cloth, fluttering in the hunting gale of this canyon.
Li Hao squatted down to examine it carefully and picked up the scattered bones on the ground to weigh them. Who would have thought that as soon as he touched them, Li Hao realized that these bones were extremely heavy, like picking up thick, heavy iron.
Just a finger-long white bone weighed tens of thousands of catties! Li Hao was somewhat surprised. Looking closely, there seemed to be fine, dense silver patterns on the bones. Those were not bone patterns, but some kind of Dao patterns!
"The Great Dao is imprinted on the bones. This... looks like Dao bones!"
Li Hao's expression changed. His own bones were like this now, but Dao bones were one of the conditions for cultivating the Wen Dao Extreme Realm. Could the owner of this skeleton before him have also mastered the Wen Dao Extreme Realm during their lifetime?
In the heavens, even Supreme Sages might not have mastered the Wen Dao Extreme Realm, and yet a random withered bone he encountered here actually had Dao bones! Unfortunately, the other party's flesh and blood had long since rotted away, and the white bone Li Hao held in his hand had also lost its luster. Although it was heavy, Li Hao squeezed it slightly, and it broke.
"It seems, it has been dead for a very, very long time..."
Li Hao's gaze flickered, thinking of the Seeing Yuanzu. In the ancient times when the other party was born, Immortal Gods had already become extinct.
Could it be that these white bones before him were those that fell during that period?
If so, for them to have rotted until only the bones remained now was already quite terrifying!
One must know that even for a Supreme Sage, living until now was extremely difficult, let alone not having completely rotted away so long after death.
Li Hao's heart was heavy. He felt that the owner of these bones before him should be those legendary Immortal Gods.
Now they were dead here, and in the ten-mile area he had just explored, there were more than a dozen such white bones!
"It seems that the number of Immortal Gods is large, and also, Immortal Gods will fight each other..."
Li Hao murmured in his heart.
Immortal Gods who surpassed Supreme Sages, who lived as long as heaven and earth, still fought each other. Was this the origin of life? From the moment of birth, they were cannibalizing each other.
His mood became a bit heavier. He picked up the battle saber in the hand bone and found it even heavier, weighing a million catties, but there was no fluctuation of power on it. It was like the surrounding mountain stones, just mountain stones that belonged to a more condensed material; it was a dead object.
Li Hao suddenly thought of the fragment and immediately took it out, then gently drew it across the battle saber.
Unexpectedly, the fragment only left a damaged dent on the battle saber and did not sever it directly.
The indestructible fragment had encountered an obstacle for the first time and could not sever it directly.
Li Hao's eyes flickered. He put the battle saber into his heaven and earth space and then continued forward.
Not long after, the second skeleton was leaning against a mountain stone, seemingly having died sitting down.
At its shoulder bone, there was a fallen jade pendant, its luster dim and covered in dust.
The clothing on its body was also broken, hooked on the sharp points of the bones, and had not been blown away.
This seemed to be a woman.
Perhaps she was peerless in beauty during her lifetime, but after death, she was just a skeleton of a beauty.
Li Hao silently picked up the relics beside her, a broken sword, and the necklace on her neck.
These should all have been extremely top-tier treasures, but now they had all lost their former luster and momentum, just like their owner, dead and sealed in dust here.
Li Hao put them away and then continued forward.
The skeletons encountered one after another, some only left with some bone frames, scattered on the ground.
Besides these white bones, Li Hao also saw broken bronze battle chariots on the ground, on which were carved ancient alien beast patterns. Those alien beasts looked extremely ferocious and cruel; just their appearance gave people a powerful momentum.
Li Hao, like a scavenger, also put the broken bronze battle chariots into his heaven and earth space.
Then he continued forward, passing by white bones one after another, and he also continuously penetrated deeper into this canyon.
The vast canyon was actually full of white bones along the way.
Not long after, Li Hao suddenly paused his footsteps. Ten miles away, within his spiritual sense exploration, he saw a group of corpses, and at that group of corpses, there was another huge white bone.
The white bones seen earlier were all human bones, but that huge white bone was the skeleton of some alien beast. It looked very ferocious, and sharp points grew on the bones. At the claws, they extended, all being extremely long curved bones, sharp and incomparable. It was hard to imagine whether the scales or flesh and blood that had covered it were also so sharp.
"Was it something that fought against the Immortal Gods, or a mount enslaved by the Immortal Gods?"
Li Hao's eyes flickered, and he approached the huge white bone.
Upon arriving near this white bone, Li Hao carefully observed the surroundings. After sizing it up for a moment, he immediately saw the traces at the scene. This alien beast white bone and these Immortal Gods had killed each other and died.
"There are actually alien beasts that fought with Immortal Gods. Are they demons that cultivated to become Immortal Gods?"
Li Hao pondered and searched everywhere on the ground, finding some scattered broken weapons, all of which he collected.
Staying here for a moment, Li Hao continued forward.
As he continuously penetrated deeper into the canyon, the number of skeletons also became more and more numerous.
Li Hao continuously picked up the scattered broken weapons, as well as four bronze battle chariots.
After walking for hundreds of miles, the terrain gradually became steep, and Li Hao saw the end; it seemed he was about to exit the canyon.
Li Hao suddenly felt some unease in his heart, feeling that the world outside the canyon might be even more tragic.
He moved forward slowly with a heavy heart.
Finally, after following the gradually steep upward slope, Li Hao arrived outside the canyon.
Just arriving here, Li Hao saw a bronze battle chariot parked at the exit of the canyon. Beside the rut of the chariot, a white skeleton was leaning.
That white skeleton held an ancient sword in its arms. Compared to other skeletons, this skeleton's body was preserved extremely completely.
Li Hao just glanced at it casually, but his gaze suddenly froze. He felt that the hollow eye sockets of the white skeleton seemed to be staring at him as well.
That feeling made his hair stand on end, as if the white skeleton before him were alive! Li Hao's gaze fell on the ancient sword in its arms again, and he found that this ancient sword was not like other battle weapons that were already broken. Although the blade was curled, the Dao patterns on it were clear, and it still emitted a faint pressure.
Li Hao looked at this scene in shock and did not rashly approach.
Just at this moment, a gust of wind blew, and the white skeleton seemed to move.
"Hmm?"
Li Hao saw that the lower jaw of the white skeleton seemed to shake.
Just as he suspected he had seen wrong, the white skeleton suddenly sat up straight, and at the same time turned its head to look directly at Li Hao, two deep silver rays of light appearing in its hollow eye sockets.
"Countless ages have passed, and yet someone has actually come to this place... Hmm? There is actually a faint Immortal aura. Is it the Sixth Extreme Realm?"
A murmur with vicissitudes suddenly rang out.
Li Hao could not understand that language, but he inexplicably felt that he could understand the other party's words.
His heart thumped wildly. Having seen so many white bones along the way, it turned out that this white skeleton before him was actually alive!
While Li Hao's aura contracted, condensing his whole body, and he was quietly performing defense, the white skeleton seemed to see Li Hao's movements. On the white bones of its whole body, fresh blood suddenly surged out, followed by meridians and flesh and blood growing from the blood water, covering its white bones.
Soon, these flesh and blood covered it, turning into the appearance of a middle-aged man with vicissitudes.
On the top of his head, disheveled hair also grew out.
At the same time, a set of broken armor appeared on the other party's body, looking like a battlefield warrior.
With the appearance of the armor, the other party also seemed to reveal his original appearance, and a vast momentum gave Li Hao a feeling of heart-palpitating fear.
The other party sat there, leaning against the battle chariot, but seemed to be carrying heaven and earth on his back. His eyes were indifferent and sharp, and the momentum between heaven and earth seemed to be condensed on his body.
"Senior..."
Li Hao was somewhat trembling, feeling that the other party only needed one thought, and it seemed he would perish.
He hadn't expected that just after arriving in the Immortal God world, he would encounter such a terrifying existence. Was this a living Immortal God?
While Li Hao was in fear, the other party grinned slightly at Li Hao, as if smiling, but the smile was extremely stiff, as if the facial muscles hadn't changed for a long time, looking somewhat rigid.
"Don't be nervous. You came from that ancient road; you should be from the Di Yang Pseudo-World."
This middle-aged warrior said with a smile.
Li Hao saw that he had no murderous intent, and the hair that had stood up on his whole body smoothed down slightly. He asked suspiciously, "Di Yang Pseudo-World?"
Could it be referring to the Land of All Sages?
"That's right. Those born in this world, how could they know the true name of this world?"
The middle-aged warrior saw Li Hao's suspicion and laughed freely, saying, "You came from that Mysterious Female Gate, right? That thing took advantage of me sleeping and being distracted earlier, trying to break in, but was stopped by me in time. But the Mysterious Female Gate was still scratched with a gap by it. I expected that with this gap appearing, sooner or later someone would walk out from there..."
Mysterious Female Gate?
Was it referring to that mysterious doorway? Li Hao asked, "The junior indeed came from there. I don't know how to address you, Senior? Is this place the Immortal God world?"
"Immortal God world... Heh."
The middle-aged warrior seemed to laugh at himself and said to Li Hao, "There's no need for an address. I am just a nameless soldier under the command of the Heavenly Calamity Immortal Emperor. You can walk out from the Di Yang Pseudo-World; you should also be considered a peerless genius."
Speaking of this, he sized Li Hao up, admiration appearing in his eyes, "You have actually mastered all the Extreme Realms, including the Sage Extreme Realm, and you even have the prototype. It's truly incredible!"
Li Hao heard his words, but felt his whole body go cold.
With just one glance, he had actually been completely seen through?
Including his three-sage power hidden the deepest, it had actually been peeped at by the other party. This was somewhat terrifying!
"Such natural talent, if it were in the true world of the past, would also be a leader of a large sect. It's a pity..."
The middle-aged warrior's eyes revealed sighs and regrets. He shook his head slightly, then said to Li Hao, "While those things haven't come yet, you should go back early. Don't try to pursue any Immortal Gods. Even if you live as long as heaven and earth, so what? That's just the heaven and earth in the eyes of a frog in a well. Not to mention the true world of today, it has long since not been what it was back then..."
Li Hao watched him as if he were talking to himself, and also as if he were talking to himself. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Senior, I can't go back for the time being. Immortal Gods have long life; I don't have much interest in that now. After all, I can still live for a very, very long time, and the end is too far away. But the road back is blocked, and I can only stay here."
"Hmm?"
The middle-aged warrior heard Li Hao's words and was somewhat surprised. Soon, a silver light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Soon, the silver light dissipated, and his eyes revealed some surprise, "Your soul life is not even sixty years?!"
Li Hao felt that he had been peeped at again, but he couldn't defend against it, and couldn't help but feel somewhat helpless.
"It seems I underestimated you earlier."
The middle-aged warrior couldn't help but sigh. He hadn't seen such a genius for a long time. It was a pity.
"You say you were forced to come here. Was it someone pursuing you? With such aptitude, it's normal to be envied. But with your state, unless you have cultivated to the extreme in the pseudo-world, you could be killed..."
He thought for a moment, as if talking to himself, "That's right, after so many years, there should have been existences in the Di Yang Pseudo-World who reached the bottleneck."
Li Hao didn't know what bottleneck he was talking about, but he thought it should at least be the Sage Extreme Realm, right?
The other party was obviously mistaken. He hadn't encountered such an existence, and the Land of All Sages didn't have such an existence either. However, the God King and the Seeing Yuanzu joining forces could be considered half a Sage Extreme Realm.
"Regardless, you should go back. You will die here, and you won't even have the chance to enter reincarnation."
The middle-aged warrior said to Li Hao.
Li Hao asked, "Senior, what exactly happened here?"
"A terrifying disaster."
The middle-aged warrior shook his head and said, "Knowing more is meaningless."
He seemed to ponder for a moment, lowered his head to look, rummaged through his body, and then revealed a bitter smile.
"After guarding here for these years, the Immortal artifacts and Immortal medicines on my body have also been exhausted. Otherwise, giving you an Immortal pill would be enough to keep you safe."
