Chapter 609: Primordial Spirit Growth, Taking the Initiative (8K, seeking monthly votes)

"This taste..."

The middle-aged soldier took it and began to eat it deftly. But after just one bite, he widened his eyes in surprise.

The rich aroma of meat, and within the flesh, there seemed to be some kind of special power. As he ate, that power flowed into his body, and he felt refreshed, his Primordial Spirit receiving nourishment.

"The soul power contained in this Ancient Demon flesh is also an excellent delicacy."

Li Hao was also enjoying the Ancient Demon flesh. Beyond the pure, ultimate enjoyment of the taste, he had also cooked the soul power within the flesh as a seasoning. If eaten raw, it would be impossible to absorb, but his culinary skills had reached the Dao; he could cook the soul power along with it. The effect was comparable to refining elixirs, and it was easier to absorb with no side effects.

"Delicious, amazing!"

The middle-aged soldier's eating speed increased significantly; he was wolfing it down, too busy to even comment.

He could feel that being able to cook Ancient Demon flesh into such a rare treasure meant these culinary methods were by no means simple; they were even comparable to some high-grade Alchemy Immortals.

"Don't rush, there is still plenty."

Seeing the way he was eating, Li Hao couldn't help but smile.

As a chef, the best evaluation from a diner is wolfing down the food, which gave him a sense of achievement and satisfaction.

Neither of them could spare the time to talk much, swallowing in large mouthfuls.

As piece after piece of Ancient Demon flesh entered his stomach, Li Hao felt his Primordial Spirit as if it were burning. There was a sensation of dry heat, and the power circling and accumulating within his Primordial Spirit had nowhere to expand. Finally, like breaking out of a shell, it condensed into a meridian within his Primordial Spirit.

Li Hao perceived that a second golden meridian was gradually emerging within his Primordial Spirit.

With the appearance of the meridian, Li Hao clearly felt his Primordial Spirit become more formidable, his thinking clearer, and the range his spiritual sense could extend became wider.

"If I keep cultivating like this, perhaps I can touch the Final Realm of the Primordial Spirit."

Li Hao thought to himself, this intuition making him feel invigorated.

The Sages he had clashed with previously had all cultivated Primordial Spirits, which meant his own Primordial Spirit hadn't been able to show much of an advantage. But Li Hao knew that the formidable nature of the Primordial Spirit meant that if he faced others who hadn't cultivated their Primordial Spirit to the peak, slaughtering their souls would be as easy as turning over one's hand, and he could easily kill them.

Not long after, the cooked Ancient Demon flesh was completely divided between Li Hao and the middle-aged soldier.

Both of them had greasy mouths, but they wore expressions of happiness, somewhat unsatisfied.

"I didn't expect you could really turn this Ancient Demon into a peerless rare treasure."

The middle-aged soldier patted his belly, looking at Li Hao with some astonishment.

Besides the enjoyment of his taste buds, his Primordial Spirit had also received nourishment. After years of fighting, his Primordial Spirit had become somewhat withered, leaving behind many hidden injuries, but at this moment, they had healed significantly.

If he ate a bit more, he felt he could even return to his peak, and if he ate even more, he could go a step further! If it were just him, he would only eat the Ancient Demon flesh raw, but that would cause indigestion and be meaningless. Even if roasted, he would still defecate as much as he ate.

"The physical body of this Ancient Demon is quite peculiar, but it is still an ingredient; it's just harder to process."

Li Hao explained with a smile.

If his cooking hadn't reached the Dao, he really might not have been able to turn it into a delicacy.

This top-tier ingredient was far harder to handle than dragon meat or phoenix blood. If the corresponding processing wasn't done well, eating it would instead be highly toxic; not only would it not become a delicacy, but it would also have negative effects.

The middle-aged soldier looked at Li Hao with complex eyes. Previously, he had hoped Li Hao would return as soon as possible, far away from the danger here, but now, he instead hoped Li Hao would stay. Having enjoyed such a delicacy once, he was actually somewhat reluctant to let him go.

But he didn't speak up. If Li Hao truly wanted to leave, he would let Li Hao go.

After all, this ancient road was too despair-inducing.

"Senior, do you know how to play chess?"

After finishing his meal, Li Hao stood up to stretch and asked the middle-aged soldier casually.

The middle-aged soldier was slightly stunned. Chess? His consciousness was a bit dazed. Pastimes like zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting were memories from a very, very long time ago.

Fighting Ancient Demons here, only endless killing reactions remained in his memory and body.

"I forgot long ago."

He shook his head.

Li Hao felt some regret and could only set up his fishing line himself. The Ancient Demons that had rushed over earlier and touched the fishing line had also allowed him to gain quite a bit of fishing experience.

Once the fishing line was set, Li Hao continued to paint; this was the only thing he could use to entertain himself at the moment.

"Do you not intend to leave?"

Seeing Li Hao like this, the middle-aged soldier couldn't help but ask.

Li Hao shook his head and smiled: "If I leave, these top-tier ingredients will be hard to find in the future."

The middle-aged soldier was startled, then dumbfounded, his eyes softening significantly as he looked at Li Hao.

He didn't know if Li Hao's words were true or false, but this place was dangerous. With Li Hao staying here, he actually had a hidden hope deep in his heart.

After all, countless years had passed, and he was too lonely.

"My divine blood is receding, I'm going to rest first."

The middle-aged soldier said, his skin and flesh shrinking all over, white bones revealed.

Li Hao nodded.

He also painted on his own, depicting those Ancient Demon corpses, and soon harvested a considerable amount of experience.

Originally, he could rely on this experience to judge the strength of his opponents, but these Ancient Demons were all dead corpses, so the experience gained couldn't be used as a reference.

However, as one Ancient Demon corpse after another was painted, and a group portrait of Ancient Demon corpses was completed, Li Hao's painting experience also approached perfection.

As time passed, Li Hao rested when tired and cooked Ancient Demon corpses when hungry.

The fragments of the Second-Rank Ancient Demon were eaten, and then he continued to eat the remaining Third-Rank Ancient Demons.

Whenever Li Hao finished cooking an Ancient Demon, the middle-aged soldier would also wake up to enjoy it with Li Hao.

Every time he ate an Ancient Demon, the rich soul power nourished his Primordial Spirit, and Li Hao's Primordial Spirit also condensed a golden meridian as a result.

Li Hao's Primordial Spirit became stronger and stronger, and the same was true for the middle-aged soldier. The hidden injuries in his Primordial Spirit all healed, and he also vaguely seemed to be breaking some kind of shackle, his Primordial Spirit undergoing a transformation and also condensing golden meridians.

"Legend has it that when the Primordial Spirit is cultivated to the end, even if only the Primordial Spirit remains, one can regenerate the physical body!"

The middle-aged soldier's injuries healed, and his Primordial Spirit was enhanced. He became radiant, and the sorrow and despair buried deep in his eyes dissipated significantly, gradually emitting some rays of hope.

He looked at Li Hao with sincere eyes, no longer treating Li Hao like a junior who had arrived by accident, expecting that once Li Hao returned, they would have no further intersection.

After more than ten days of living together, chatting about many things while eating and drinking, he had developed a great fondness for this junior.

"The Ancient Demon is almost finished."

Li Hao looked at the remaining half, only enough for one meal.

Over these ten-plus days, the Ancient Demons hadn't come to attack again, and according to the middle-aged soldier, this frequency was normal.

After all, if they came often, the middle-aged soldier wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long.

They usually came once every few decades; the recent frequency was because Li Hao's aura had arrived here and been detected by the Ancient Demons.

Hearing this, the middle-aged soldier swallowed the hot roasted meat in his hand and met Li Hao's gaze.

The two looked at each other and both smiled.

"Do you really intend to stay here with me and fight the Ancient Demons?"

The middle-aged soldier smiled; Li Hao's boldness and free-spirited nature made him somewhat admire him.

"If Senior can hold off the First-Rank and Second-Rank Ancient Demons, I can handle the rest."

Li Hao said. This Ancient Demon flesh could enhance the Primordial Spirit, an ingredient impossible to find outside. Even when he had eaten the ancient fierce beast Huntian's demon body earlier, it had only enhanced his physical body, and his Primordial Spirit hadn't changed.

The predecessor of the Primordial Spirit was the soul; cultivating the soul was already extremely difficult. After transforming into a Primordial Spirit, cultivation and improvement became even harder.

Even absorbing the essence of the sun and moon was only for nourishment and maintenance, unable to make any further progress.

And previously, when sacrificing to the Dao and crossing the tribulation, relying on the feedback from the Heavenly Dao, he had broken through the extreme realm, allowing a golden meridian to condense within his Primordial Spirit.

Now, the effect of this Ancient Demon flesh was actually comparable to a gift from the Heavenly Dao, allowing him to condense more golden meridians, enhance his Primordial Spirit, and seize this rare opportunity.

However, although there were many benefits, the danger here was also great. After all, when Ancient Demons came here, not everyone could retreat unscathed; otherwise, the countless Immortals and Gods here wouldn't have fallen and been buried here.

Throughout Li Hao's journey, the killing tribulations he encountered were all difficulties far beyond what his normal combat power could solve; it was only because he was overly powerful beyond his peers that he had managed to resolve them one by one.

"That's no problem. Now, dealing with those First-Rank Ancient Demons, I don't have to be too sparing with my strength."

The middle-aged soldier's eyes flashed with light. For some reason, he vaguely felt that a glimmer of hope had appeared before him. Perhaps this was an opportunity to slaughter his way through the ancient road! The arrival of the youth before him was like a reward from the Heavenly Dao, sent to liberate him.

If he could continuously kill Ancient Demons and eat their flesh to improve, why couldn't he slaughter his way through this ancient road? Originally, he hadn't dared to fight the First-Rank Ancient Demons with all his might, needing to avoid damage to his Primordial Spirit at all times, but now, with Ancient Demon flesh for nourishment, he had no such worries.

"Then let's give it a try."

Li Hao said.

He also harbored some thoughts of slaughtering his way out of the ancient road. Although not particularly strong, if there was truly an opportunity to slaughter his way through this ancient road, why wouldn't it be a good thing? At the very least, the situation of the human race wouldn't be so desperate, and in the future, he could go see that True Realm.

Moreover, that Gate of Xuanpin had a gap. If he returned to the Land of the Sages, even if he were invincible and retired inside, as time flowed on, there was no guarantee that Ancient Demons wouldn't invade one day. At that time, without the power of Immortals and Gods, they would just be sitting ducks.

"Good!"

The middle-aged soldier nodded and immediately told Li Hao the information he had explored about the Ancient Demons.

Over the years, besides guarding this place, he had also quietly explored the front of the ancient road and seen many other First-Rank Ancient Demons, which was why he had felt despair, knowing he couldn't walk out of the ancient road.

"You wait here, I'll go explore the ancient road again first."

The middle-aged soldier said to Li Hao.

Seeing him want to act alone, Li Hao couldn't help but feel a bit worried.

"Rest assured, I've been able to survive all these years, so I still have some methods. My movement techniques and concealment skills—if it weren't for a section at the end of the ancient road where many First-Rank Ancient Demons are gathered too densely, I could even have slipped out quietly."

The middle-aged soldier smiled at Li Hao.

Hearing this, Li Hao felt relieved. Indeed, after countless years of fighting, he should have honed a set of terrifying methods.

After greeting Li Hao, the middle-aged soldier quietly slipped away to explore.

His figure disappeared right before Li Hao's eyes, turning into a gust of wind and dissipating between heaven and earth.

Li Hao was stunned, completely unable to detect any traces of the other's departure.

He didn't see the gap of the Return to Ruins open; the other seemed to have some kind of extremely terrifying movement technique.

Without the middle-aged soldier by his side, Li Hao also became cautious, hiding in the bronze chariot to wait.

Two days later, the middle-aged soldier's figure appeared suddenly, returning to the side of the bronze chariot.

For these two days, Li Hao hadn't even been in the mood to paint, worried that something might have happened to the other.

"The situation is not good."

As soon as the middle-aged soldier appeared, he noticed Li Hao in the bronze chariot, but his expression was somewhat heavy.

Li Hao jumped out of the chariot and, seeing he wasn't injured, asked: "What's the situation?"

The middle-aged soldier immediately recounted the intelligence he had explored to Li Hao.

The ancient road outside this canyon was extremely long. Beyond the ancient road were the chaotic rifts left by that great battle, terrible scars caused by the battle between the Immortal Emperor and the Ancient Demons. Once touched, even True Immortals would fall into them.

Therefore, one could only walk along the ancient road to exit this battlefield.

And in front of the ancient road, First-Rank Ancient Demons roamed here in small groups.

The Ancient Demon that had come to attack earlier was named 'Zheng', and beside it were hundreds of Third-Rank Ancient Demons, as well as seven Second-Rank Ancient Demons, all its subordinates.

In the great battle that year, these First-Rank Ancient Demons belonged to the Centurion level in the Ancient Demon army.

Behind that ancient demon known as the Zhen, there were over a dozen more first-tier ancient demons with power no less than its own. The situation was similar to what the middle-aged soldier had explored years ago; they had not decreased in number. Furthermore, at the furthest point he had explored, near the exit of the ancient road, the number of ancient demons guarding the area seemed to have even increased.

This situation made the middle-aged soldier feel uneasy.

Countless years had passed, and not only were these ancient demons still lingering here, but their numbers were also growing.

Could it be that the True Realm had truly fallen, and the ancient demons were breeding even more?

He knew that ancient demons had an extremely strong reproductive capacity and cultivated very quickly; it was precisely because of this that they could spread like locusts and cause the entire True Realm to suffer heavy casualties.

However, there was another possibility: that on the battlefield outside the ancient road, there were still True Realm immortals and gods fighting the ancient demons, and perhaps they were clearing this battlefield, which was why these ancient demons were guarding this place.

If that were the case, once they fought their way out of the ancient road, they might be able to encounter those immortal and divine armies.

"Senior actually understands the language of the ancient demons?"

During their conversation, Li Hao discovered that the middle-aged soldier was extremely familiar with the ancient demons and even mastered their private language.

When ancient demons wanted to communicate with immortals and gods, they could communicate directly through intent, and both sides could perceive the other's meaning. But if they intended to conceal something, the ancient demons would use their own language, and the immortals and gods would be unable to know what they were saying.

"I caught an ancient demon before and learned it from it."

The middle-aged soldier said, then looked at Li Hao: "You know the situation now; are you still willing to accompany me on this journey?"

"Let's walk and see; we'll talk when we can't go any further."

Li Hao revealed a smile.

The middle-aged soldier was serious, but seeing Li Hao's relaxed expression, he knew that Li Hao was also serious.

He took a deep breath and said, "Then let's try."

He immediately sketched out what he had seen.

Although it lacked the divine charm of Li Hao's paintings, one could still discern the terrain of the ancient road ahead and the distribution of the ancient demons.

Afterward, the two of them formulated a battle plan based on this terrain.

If they fought head-on and alerted too many ancient demons, it would be a huge problem; they could only proceed step by step and ambush them secretly.

"We can only slowly weaken the strength of that Zhen. Once it realizes something is wrong and wants to call for reinforcements, we will kill it quickly. But before that, we must first clear out the ancient demons around it; otherwise, if even one of them escapes, it will alert the others."

The middle-aged soldier said.

The two formulated their plan. Li Hao cooked and ate the remaining half of the ancient demon. After eating his fill, the middle-aged soldier rested for a night, and then they set off quietly with Li Hao. This time, the middle-aged soldier also brought the bronze chariot, driving it as they galloped along the ancient road.

After traveling several hundred miles, they arrived at the edge of the ancient demon's territory.

This ancient road was desolate everywhere. The nearby skeletons had all been collected into the chariot by the middle-aged soldier, leaving only some scattered broken weapons that had lost their luster.

Li Hao could not spare the time to collect these broken weapons for now. When the chariot stopped, the two looked at each other, and the middle-aged soldier charged into the territory of the Zhen demon first. He suppressed his aura to be obscure, yet intentionally revealed some of it, wanting to attract the attention of that first-tier ancient demon, splitting into two paths with Li Hao.

At the same time.

In the territory of the Zhen demon, inside a towering cave dwelling.

The Zhen was coiled inside the cave. It was massive, with pitch-black eyes that seemed capable of swallowing light.

Opposite it was another ancient demon of equal size. This ancient demon was named Man.

"Zhen, it's been so long, and you still haven't finished off that True Immortal. Why don't we do it together? Afterward, we'll split his immortal soul half and half?"

Man chuckled at Zhen.

Ancient demons were able to sweep through the myriad races of the True Realm because, in addition to their terrifying power, they possessed extremely high intelligence.

"When we competed back then, it was what I won. I am willing to bet and willing to lose."

Zhen said coldly.

"But so much time has passed; you should be clear that relying on yourself alone, you cannot kill that True Immortal. That True Immortal has lived until now and is more formidable than other True Immortals. If he weren't trapped here, I'm afraid he could have become a True Monarch by now."

Man said indifferently.

"There is the residual power of the Demon God Lord here; he cannot cultivate and will be exhausted to death sooner or later."

Zhen sneered, clearly unwilling to share the food it had guarded for so many years.

After all, the environment outside the ancient road was not optimistic right now, and it was not easy to find such food.

Moreover, a young immortal had come recently, which could also serve as a snack. Besides, the appearance of that young immortal also meant that the gate seemed to be openable.

That was a pseudo-realm created by the Heavenly Calamity Immortal Emperor; it must be filled with vast resources and countless delicious souls.

This secret was known only to it for the time being, and it would certainly not let other guys intervene. The only thorn in its side right now was that True Immortal. If it could kill him, the pseudo-realm of the Heavenly Calamity Immortal Emperor would be like a huge treasure vault, waiting for it to harvest.

"Don't be unappreciative. How about a four-six split? You get six, I get four. You also know the situation outside. Before long, the commander will probably summon all of us to fight. Whether we can survive that battlefield is still unknown!"

Man said coldly.

Zhen frowned; this was also something that had been bothering it recently.

"There is no precedent for spitting out what is in my mouth. You had better go back." Zhen refused coldly, intending to drive the guest away.

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

Man stared at it, then had no choice but to get up and leave.

But just as it was about to walk out of the cave, suddenly, both its and Zhen's expressions shifted. Surprise appeared in Man's eyes, while shock appeared in Zhen's, followed immediately by fury.

Inside the Zhen demon's territory, the middle-aged soldier crept up to a third-tier ancient demon and killed it with a single sword strike.

His movements were silent, but the sudden disappearance and death of an ancient demon's aura would inevitably be detected by other ancient demons. After all, these ancient demons were all of Supreme Sage-level strength and were not so numb.

"It's that True Immortal!"

"He actually dares to invade here actively! Kill him!"

"Quick, quick, report to the leader."

Other ancient demons gathered quickly, none daring to go and fight alone; that would be tantamount to throwing their lives away.

They were somewhat furious. Over all these years, this was not the first time the opponent had actively killed his way into their territory. The opponent had done it once before, seemingly seeking death, only to escape in the end.

"It seems the food in your mouth wants to finish you off."

In the cave, Man sensed the True Immortal's aura and couldn't help but sneer.

Zhen's face was ugly. Compared to the opponent's intrusion, it was more worried about Man intervening in this matter.

"Need help?"

Man looked at it mockingly.

"If I can solve it myself, I won't trouble you!"

Zhen said coldly.

Man chuckled, its eyes flickering, but it withdrew its aura and said, "Then I shall wait and see."

Saying this, its figure disappeared from the cave.

Zhen's face was gloomy. It knew the other party would not go far. It had to kill this True Immortal to cut off the other party's thoughts; otherwise, it was very likely to be seized by the other party at an opportunity.

"Assemble!"

Following a roar, Zhen immediately rushed out of the cave, summoning its subordinates.

Seven second-tier ancient demons gathered immediately, and hundreds of third-tier ancient demons also rushed toward its cave.

The middle-aged soldier had anticipated this situation. He knew that this ancient demon had a demon formation; once the formation was set, he would also have to flee in a panic.

He had infiltrated here not intending to kill that first-tier ancient demon, but just to weaken its subordinates. Once weakened to a certain degree, he would then kill it quickly.

Whoosh! His figure flew rapidly, charging toward those second-tier ancient demons.

With a furious slash of his sword, a sword light like a galaxy was unleashed. Immediately, a second-tier ancient demon could not dodge in time and was cleaved to death by the sword.

Zhen let out a roar and actively charged toward the middle-aged soldier.

The middle-aged soldier ignored it, instead focusing all his efforts on those second-tier ancient demons.

These six second-tier ancient demons were somewhat panicked. The opponent had suddenly killed his way in and was attacking them like a madman, yet he did not attack the leader, which left them somewhat confused.

In just a short moment, the middle-aged soldier had killed two more.

At this moment, Zhen revealed the ancient demon's innate killing move, a soul-devouring black mist enveloping the area, intending to deal a heavy blow to the middle-aged soldier.

Whoosh! The middle-aged soldier slashed with his sword, shaking the black mist away, and engaged in a fierce battle with Zhen.

The other four second-tier ancient demons breathed a sigh of relief. With the leader pinning down this True Immortal, they could assist from the side.

"Form the array!"

An ancient demon roared lowly.

The hundreds of other third-tier ancient demons that had gathered all released black mist light from their bodies.

Just at this moment, from far away, a brilliant blade shadow shot directly over.

Bang! A third-tier ancient demon was pierced by the blade edge, its physical body killed on the spot.

Such a scene shocked the other ancient demons.

There was actually someone else? Soon, they thought of the news brought back earlier; they hadn't expected that even that young immortal had come here.

Accompanied by a roar, a second-tier ancient demon suddenly rushed out from the group, leading ten ancient demons to kill Li Hao.

Li Hao's expression was solemn. He and the middle-aged soldier were only here for guerrilla warfare; they could kill as many as they could, but they didn't intend to wipe out the opponent in one go, as there were simply too many of them.

Whoosh! He manipulated the broken blade, killing with all his might. The speed of the blade light was about three times faster than before.

In just an instant, he killed the physical bodies of three ancient demons! At the same time, Li Hao's Primordial Spirit was like a sword, quickly slashing out a brilliant sword glow that was not a bit slower than the speed of the broken blade.

Before the Primordial Spirits of those three ancient demons could react, they were slashed to death by the Primordial Spirit sword light!

On Li Hao's Primordial Spirit, there were already five golden veins at this moment.

These five golden veins made Li Hao's Primordial Spirit much stronger than before, which also affected the speed of his object manipulation.

Coupled with the influence of the Imperial Dao itself on object manipulation speed, even without relying on the protection of the bronze chariot, Li Hao could kill the ten third-tier ancient demons directly before they could get close! "Roar!"

That second-tier ancient demon let out a roar, shock and anger appearing in its eyes. It could see that Li Hao's aura was not strong, but his object manipulation speed was terrifyingly fast, and his Primordial Spirit was also extremely formidable. The golden light within that Primordial Spirit made it feel a sense of oppression, which was somewhat inconceivable.

Whoosh! Li Hao ignored it, the broken blade continuing to slash.

With just a single arc, it shot through four ancient demons, instantly disintegrating and killing their physical bodies!

Afterward, the Primordial Spirit sword qi killed its way out almost immediately, and another four third-tier ancient demons fell!

The remaining three were somewhat terrified. It was too horrifying; this feeling was almost the same as facing a True Immortal! That second-tier ancient demon also felt a tremor in its heart, but it was already between a True Immortal and the Sage level, with a stronger realm than Li Hao, and it did not believe this human could kill it either.

Since the birth of the ancient demons and their sweeping of the True Realm, it was extremely rare to hear of them being killed across realms by the myriad races of the True Realm.

As it approached rapidly, the second-tier ancient demon arrived before Li Hao in the blink of an eye, fiercely spitting out black mist to envelop Li Hao, while simultaneously unleashing streaks of blood-red light containing destructive power.

Li Hao immediately unfolded his Extreme Realm and stepped into the Ultimate Immortal Transformation.

His hair flew, his long silver hair fluttering, his golden divine eyes brilliant, like a God of War.

He drew his sword, Gongming, and slashed fiercely, barely parrying the blood light.

Afterward, the broken blade slashed rapidly, piercing through the body of this second-tier ancient demon.

The body structure of this second-tier ancient demon was somewhat different from that of a third-tier ancient demon. With Li Hao cutting at full speed, he still could not kill it instantly. This also resulted in his cuts healing on the opponent's body in the blink of an eye. Although he caused constant damage, when the broken blade left the opponent's flesh, the opponent's flesh recovered instantly.

"Roar!"

This second-tier ancient demon was shocked and angry. The sharpness of that broken blade exceeded its imagination; its physical body could not parry it. Could this be an Immortal Artifact?

But fortunately, there was no other power in that broken blade; it was purely sharp.

Although the flesh healed quickly, the pain caused by Li Hao's constant tearing made it exceptionally furious.

Fortunately, Li Hao could not pose a threat to it like he did to the third-tier ancient demons.

As the black mist enveloped him and the innate power was unleashed, Li Hao was immediately trapped in the black mist. This black mist could actually isolate the Return to Ruins instant, making the gaps in heaven and earth disappear. If one forced their way through, it would be equivalent to fleeing in a sea of fire, and one would also suffer great damage.

Li Hao's face was tense, feeling the palpitation of his soul. That black mist was like strong acid and could not be touched; otherwise, the soul would be swallowed and torn apart.

"Break!"

Suddenly, Li Hao's intent enveloped the corpse of a third-tier ancient demon he had killed earlier, and he swung it fiercely toward the black mist.

Whoosh! The ancient demon corpse swept across, shaking the black mist away.

This scene made the second-tier ancient demon's eyes widen suddenly.

It could do that too?

While it was shocked, the broken blade manipulated by Li Hao did not stop, still cutting its flesh rapidly.

Li Hao's mind was immersed to the extreme in that cutting, feeling every part of the opponent's body structure with his whole heart.

His cutting speed was extremely fast, three times faster than before, which meant he would explore the opponent's body structure faster.

Fast! Faster!

Li Hao manipulated the broken blade, cutting constantly from the ancient demon's head, wings, and other places. Besides the structure of flesh and blood, there was also the distribution of the Great Dao within the opponent's body.

The surrounding black mist attacked constantly, while another part of Li Hao's intent drove the ancient demon corpse, scattering the black mist constantly.

His own physical body dared not touch this black mist, as it would burn his soul, but the ancient demon's physical body was different; not to mention it was already a corpse, and its Primordial Spirit had already been extinguished.

Seeing his own kin being used as a tool by Li Hao, this second-tier ancient demon was furious beyond compare. It descended directly in front of Li Hao, its sharp claws tearing toward Li Hao. A blood-light crack slashed through, like lightning, making space-time feel distorted.

Li Hao quickly unfolded his Eternal Dao Domain. At the same time, he swung his sword within the Dao Domain, and the Immortal Pointing the Way led the countless sword qi within the sword domain, slashing out fiercely.

With a bang and a violent tremor, the blood light was blocked. Li Hao's body flew backward, his bones vibrating, and he felt a sense of surging blood and qi.

He quickly unfolded his Myriad Heavens Star Veins, and majestic power surged over, recovering in the blink of an eye.

The second-tier ancient demon before him let out a roar and wanted to attack again, but suddenly, its eyes widened, and it felt an inexplicable panic.

A kind of fear that went straight into the bone marrow suddenly crawled all over its body.

It smelled a strong scent of death.

Its body suddenly felt like something had broken, as if it were about to fall into an abyss.

How is this possible?! It was shocked, its pupils contracted, and it looked at Li Hao in terror.

It struggled desperately, wanting to fly and stay away from this monster-like human, but the power in its whole body felt as if it had been cut off. It was some kind of order like the Heavenly Dao that could not be defied, enveloping it.

Bang! Its huge body was tottering, and a power of death and withering enveloped it.

It could no longer care about preserving its physical body and could only force its Primordial Spirit out to escape the spread of that power.

If it were any later, its Primordial Spirit might also fall.

At the critical moment, it even unleashed the power of Fate Reversal.

This power had a trace of Heavenly Dao aura, which allowed it to shake off the pursuit of that terrifying power.

With a thud, the huge body of this second-tier ancient demon suddenly collapsed.

Li Hao was stunned, then realized that the Fatal attribute had been triggered!

But the Primordial Spirit of the second-tier ancient demon before him had rushed out and was not dead.

Although the Fatal attribute could kill enemies, relying on Fate Reversal power or other means, there was still a chance to escape, as long as it was timely enough.

Li Hao did not expect that the Fatal attribute would also work against ancient demons. It seemed that the panel attributes were indeed the most awesome existence.

However, if it had persisted a little longer, he would have soon explored the body structure of this second-tier ancient demon.

At this moment, seeing the opponent's Primordial Spirit revealed, Li Hao almost did not hesitate. In an instant, his Primordial Spirit turned into a sword, suddenly erupting with full power, and he slashed out with one sword.

Bang! The brilliant sword intent, accompanied by the Primordial Spirit, directly tore the Primordial Spirit of the second-tier ancient demon apart.

There was a black smoke-like chain wrapped around the opponent's Primordial Spirit, which was stronger than the Primordial Spirit of a third-tier ancient demon. From that black smoke came bursts of harsh wailing, as if countless wronged souls were sealed within it.

As Li Hao's Primordial Spirit slashed out, the black smoke chain snapped, and the Primordial Spirit was also split in two! (End of chapter)
