Chapter 691: My Sword Dao, Slash!

"Which sect's disciple are you?"

The star-moon skirt girl narrowed her eyes and asked.

With such a cultivation realm, being able to arrive here so quickly, unless the latter had unimaginable cultivation methods that could cover up and disguise his aura, pretending to be a True Immortal Realm Third Realm illusion, otherwise he must be an extremely rare monster.

And being able to walk from the dangerous Ninth Barren Domain and still be able to hide his aura, that was even more terrifying.

"Which sect's disciple are you?"

Li Hao didn't answer but asked instead.

Before asking about someone else's family door, one should at least report their own family door first. This was the rule of the Jianghu.

"Star Palace, Xing Lan."

The girl noticed a hint of competition in Li Hao's words, but didn't care, frankly stating her identity.

She believed that even if she didn't say it, those competitors she paid attention to would recognize her when they saw her, and those Imperial Clans would know even more, having a thorough understanding of the data of these Li Tianzong prodigies.

As for those who didn't know her, they were all those she didn't care about, so letting them know her identity didn't matter.

"Star Palace..."

Li Hao's eyes moved slightly. It turned out to be one of the five major Heaven Sects of Yan and Chu. No wonder she could arrive at the Tenth Barren Domain so quickly. The latter was mostly a top prodigy in the sect.

"Great Dream Nine Abysses, Hao Tian."

Li Hao also said.

"Hao Tian..."

Xing Lan looked at Li Hao and nodded slightly: "I have remembered you."

Saying this, she didn't stop, her figure suddenly turned into a star color, flying away like a long rainbow.

Li Hao was a bit inexplicable. He hadn't done anything, why remember him?

However, the other party didn't seem to have any malice. He thought about it, then was too lazy to think more, and also teleported quickly to hurry on his way.

In this Tenth Barren Domain, the oppression was extremely strong, and Li Hao also needed to explode with extreme power, then use the might of the Ancestral Immortal Body, to move freely.

While he was traversing, chaotic power suddenly attacked without warning from the void.

Boom!

A sharp ice cone shot out from the lightning flashing in the void.

The ice cone whistled past, freezing the void, and the space seemed to twist slightly.

Li Hao perceived the change in space, anticipated it in advance, and dodged at full speed, only then narrowly avoiding it.

"Is this the primitive Immortal Art?"

Li Hao looked back. The ice cone flashed and disappeared, leaving no trace.

But in the moment of brushing past, Li Hao felt that the ice cone contained water source power and space origin power. The two origin powers actually blended together. Although extremely rough, it suddenly opened a new train of thought for him.

Li Hao didn't stop and continued forward.

Not long after, Great Dao Origin condensed again before his eyes, turning into a ghost-like black shadow, rushing toward Li Hao with a sharp scream.

The sound wave was harsh, piercing directly into the soul, but Li Hao's Primordial Spirit broke the extreme realm. Although he hadn't touched the final realm "True God," the divine bones in the Primordial Spirit were bright and shining, blocking the sound wave that could shatter the Primordial Spirit.

"This Tenth Barren Domain, even if that Ancestral Dragon came, it would die instantly..."

Li Hao's eyes narrowed slightly. This Tenth Barren Domain was the limit that the True Immortal Realm could reach, indeed a bit powerful.

He covered his surroundings with spiritual sense for a thousand meters, supported the Eternal Dao Domain, and moved forward with teleportation quickly.

His Space Origin was at the Fourth Level. Although it was extremely chaotic here, he could still perceive the movement within tens of miles through space fluctuations.

The previous ice cone, including the successive Great Dao Origin attacks, all gave him time to react.

Swoosh! Swoosh.

Li Hao's figure traversed with teleportation quickly. Not long after, he avoided one danger after another and arrived at the fog wall of the Tenth Barren Domain.

Here, Li Hao saw four figures.

Besides the previous colorful skirt girl Xing Lan, there were three tall and high-spirited Imperial Clan members.

However, compared to Xing Lan's relaxed appearance of not being stained with dust, the three Imperial Clan members were all somewhat injured. Some had charred robes, some had messy hair, clearly having collided with the Great Dao Origin and primitive Immortal Arts here.

Seeing Li Hao appear, Xing Lan's eyes condensed. Seeing Li Hao's intact clothes without any embarrassment, the solemnity in her eyes became deeper.

But all this was quickly hidden. On her beautiful and refined face, a gentle smile appeared: "You really came."

Li Hao was surprised: "You were waiting for me here?"

"Wanted to see if you could still persist in the Tenth Barren Domain."

Xing Lan didn't avoid it either. She was indeed waiting for Li Hao. If the other party couldn't hold on in the Tenth Barren Domain, then there was no need to pay attention anymore.

Although arriving at the Tenth Barren Domain with the cultivation of the Third Realm of the True Immortal was bright enough, now it was a simultaneous start. Whoever could run to the finish line was the winner.

"Then it seems I didn't let you down."

Li Hao heard this and couldn't help but laugh.

The three Imperial Clan members beside him all looked sideways at Li Hao, but this kid... where did he come from?

Seeing Li Hao's cultivation and relaxed appearance, their faces were a bit solemn and ugly. True Immortal Realm, Third Realm? How is it possible? Can this cultivation realm also come here?!

In the Yan and Chu Immortal Court, what they enjoyed was the best cultivation resources and treatment. Under the same talent, they were inevitably stronger than those Li Tianzong disciples, but... actually being in the same barren domain as this True Immortal Realm Third Realm kid was a bit embarrassing and face-slapping.

This could only show that their aptitudes were vastly different.

"Which sect are you from?"

A young Imperial Clan member asked Li Hao, his brows carrying the superiority and high-above attitude that the Imperial Clan had long carried. It looked like an inquiry, but more like an interrogation.

Li Hao was surprised, looked twice, but didn't pay attention.

"You!"

Seeing he was ignored by Li Hao, the Imperial Clan youth's face suddenly became ugly, and he said coldly: "Do you know who I am? Not kneeling to this Prince, do you know your crime?!"

"You are a prince, not a crown prince."

Li Hao said speechlessly.

The youth Imperial Clan was almost angered to the point of breaking defense by Li Hao's words, gritted his teeth and said: "Good, very good. You think if you don't say it, I can't find you when I go out?"

Li Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, and a flash of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

This was the secret realm of the Yan and Chu Immortal Court. There must be Imperial Clan powerhouses monitoring the situation inside. Even if he secretly assassinated him here, he might not be able to hide it from the eyes of some Imperial Clan powerhouses.

He turned around, too lazy to pay attention to this brainless prince.

But the flash of murderous intent in his eyes just now was keenly captured by Xing Lan. A hint of surprise rose in her heart. This youth actually dared to have murderous intent toward the Yan and Chu Imperial Clan. This courage was a bit too big.

However, her eyes revealed a bit more appreciation. Seeing that the Imperial Clan still wanted to say more, she said indifferently:

"Three, Xing Lan will take a step first. Those who can come to the Tenth Barren Domain are all monsters of various sects. Maybe we will meet again in the future, so it's better not to form enmity over a small matter."

Hearing Xing Lan's advice, the three Imperial Clan members' eyes changed slightly. That Imperial Clan youth also knew this point. If he had the ambition to compete for the crown prince, this was an excellent opportunity to make connections, but he also understood how intense the competition of the Imperial Clan was. With those monsters there, they couldn't have a trace of opportunity.

Being able to be a prince in this life was already a good retreat.

If the connections were too wide, it would attract disaster. He sneered:

"You sect monsters, your wings are really hard, daring to talk to this Prince like this. So what if you fly higher? A piece of imperial paper will still make you bow down!"

Hearing this, Xing Lan raised her eyebrows slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes. She was too lazy to talk more and said to Li Hao:

"Further ahead is the Eleventh Barren Domain. The danger there is not something here can compare to. I will take a step first. See you later!"

While speaking, her Immortal Power surged, revealing the might of the Immortal Monarch Realm. With a wave of her hand, starlight shone, and a moon mark flew out, tearing the fog wall, and then she traversed from it.

Inside the fog wall was thunder and lightning, flames rising, as if it were a hellish danger.

Li Hao's eyes revealed surprise. This girl was actually in the Immortal Monarch Realm?

Previously, the other party's aura was hidden, and Li Hao hadn't seen it.

When Xing Lan stepped into the Eleventh Barren Domain, her identity serial number also climbed rapidly to 16th.

In the clouds above the Ancient Immortal Realm.

Chu Xiangtian and more than a dozen other Imperial Clan figures gathered, looking down at the changes in the black Immortal Tablet below.

Seeing Xing Lan's identity serial number climb to 16th, they revealed smiles in their eyes. "Xing Lan has already surpassed Brother Han Yu. It seems she has stepped into the Eleventh Barren Domain."

"Her Second Realm Immortal Monarch cultivation, it's normal to be able to step into the Eleventh Barren Domain. Just don't know how long she can persist in the Twelfth Barren Domain."

"Compared to her, it is that 996 serial number whose climbing speed has slowed down. It seems it is reaching the bottleneck."

"As far as I know, those monsters in the sects who reached the Immortal Monarch Realm within three thousand years of soul life, none of them are this serial number. He should be in the True Immortal Realm."

They chatted and discussed, but their eyes flashed with light, wanting to win over and recruit that 996, taking him as a pet official.

At the same time, in the Tenth Barren Domain.

Boom~~!

Not long after Xing Lan left, thunder sounded around, and immediately after, a huge thunder whip with a diameter of hundreds of meters wound and was born from the void not far away. In the thunder light, there was fire light, and the two origin powers intertwined, rubbing out extremely terrifying destructive power, and then swept horizontally toward several people.

The three Imperial Clan members changed their faces, hurriedly using their body techniques to dodge with all their might.

Li Hao's figure swayed, following the space crack, and quietly escaped several miles away the moment the thunder whip swept over.

Before he left, he saw one of the princes brushed by the thunder whip, and a golden Immortal Fire cover suddenly appeared on his body, shrouding him, but his body was thrown away.

No mistake in the content!

"These Imperial Clans have treasures..."

Li Hao's eyes moved. For these Imperial Clans, going to the Southern Territory to be famous might not be as important as showing their faces before that Yan and Chu Emperor.

He didn't think much. When the Southern Territory Battle comes, many treasures that break the rules will inevitably be banned. Otherwise, the so-called genius competition will turn into a treasure competition.

After all, these prodigies have top-tier forces behind them. Taking out some top-tier Immortal Weapons, or even Domain Artifacts, is not a problem.

At that time, it will inevitably still depend on true ability.

Swoosh!

Several miles apart, the space was chaotic, and he might already be very far from those few princes.

Li Hao didn't delay here anymore. That Third Prince Chu Xiangtian said that passing the Tenth Barren Domain would directly get the spot.

The fog wall before his eyes was the greatest obstacle.

The power in his body was slowly climbing, and one extreme realm and final realm power were slowly opened.

Divine Blood Final Realm, Heaven Star Vein Final Realm!

Primordial Spirit Integration, Heaven and Earth Dharma Image Integration!

Dharma Heaven and Earth True Body!

Along with the display and adjustment of Li Hao's power, bursts of thick and intense aura climbed step by step in his body.

His Ancestral Immortal Body also bloomed with terrifying might at this time, and the Heaven Star Vein actually introduced the power of the stars outside through the barren domain.

But Li Hao could feel that it was not as comfortable as outside. The reflection of the star vein had a large reduction and obstruction. The chaotic Great Dao and twisted space in this barren domain shattered this power, and only one-tenth was introduced into his body! 【691

Yet Li Hao could feel that it was not as comfortable as the outside; the reflection of the Starry Pulse was significantly reduced and obstructed. The chaotic Dao and distorted space within this Desolate Domain shattered this power, and in the end, only one-tenth was channeled into his body!

For Li Hao, who was accustomed to squandering power, he now had to start learning how to conserve his strength.

Immortal Transformation!

Li Hao merged with heaven and earth, and his power climbed another notch.

At the same time, the power of the embryonic Heavenly Dao of the Sage Minor Extreme Realm was also brewing within Li Hao's body.

As the shadow of the embryonic Heavenly Dao origin emerged, the chaotic Dao origin surrounding Li Hao instantly diminished significantly, as if intentionally avoiding him.

By this time, Li Hao was already radiating an extremely powerful aura, but this aura was not enough to make him feel he could break through the fog wall before him.

After all, this was a fog wall separating the True Immortal Realm Level Ten from the Immortal Monarch Realm; one must possess means surpassing the True Immortal Realm Level Ten to break it!

……

While Li Hao was gathering his strength, on a certain hill deep within the Ancient Immortal Realm.

Two figures sat opposite each other, a chessboard before them.

The two playing chess had vastly different temperaments. One was an old man with white hair and a white beard, possessing an ethereal aura, dressed in a simple gray robe with a wooden hairpin in his hair, looking like an otherworldly immortal who had transcended the mundane world.

The other was a middle-aged man dressed in formidable golden armor. His eyes were sharp, his temperament as deep as an abyss or the sea, and his entire body radiated a thick, bloody stench. The blue stone he sat upon was merely a rock, yet he sat with the domineering, murderous aura of one standing atop a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

The visions behind each of them were also different; one was ethereal and gentle, like an immortal realm in the warmth of spring.

The other was filled with scarlet, like a purgatory where countless ghosts wailed.

If the princes like Chu Xiangtian in the high sky saw these two, they would also hurriedly come to pay their respects, because these two were great figures within the Yan-Chu Qin Xianchao whom only the Emperor could mobilize. Their status even surpassed the royal bloodline; even if the princes saw them, they would need to bow their heads in awe!

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, the withered hand of the white-haired old man, about to place a piece, paused slightly. He turned his head to look, his gaze seemingly traversing thousands of miles to see that certain Desolate Domain.

There, a young figure was gathering strength, accumulating power.

"The final realm of the Myriad Heavens Starry Pulse..."

"Heavenly Dao Chaotic Infant... where did this seedling come from?"

As he spoke to himself, the middle-aged general beside him also turned his gaze, but his eyes were extremely sharp, seemingly piercing directly through the void, shooting out like two golden pillars of light.

"Hmm? Only True Immortal Realm Level Three, yet attempting to break the fog wall of the Tenth Desolate Domain?"

The middle-aged general raised an eyebrow. Such courage—even the fiercest general in the army might not dare to do it.

But what concerned him was that the other party had mastered two final realms and had even refined a Heavenly Dao Chaotic Infant. These were good seedlings even in the Immortal Monarch Realm, let alone appearing in someone at the True Immortal Realm.

"Interesting. I didn't expect such a seedling to appear this time. Compared to that Imperial Pulse and the Chaotic Immortal Maiden, this youth only has the vision of his own bloodline."

The white-haired old man smiled. The two of them had nothing to do, so they came here to supervise these princes to prevent them from causing trouble or secretly playing tricks, but they didn't expect to see something unexpectedly interesting.

"A good seedling. I want this child. After his Southern Domain Tournament ends, I will have him enter the Chu Immortal Army, under my personal command and leadership. A thousand years from now, he will surely be another fierce general who dominates all directions!"

The golden-armored middle-aged man had a glint in his eyes and decided on the spot to take Li Hao under his command.

For these sect disciples, being able to enter the Chu Immortal Army and become a fierce general of Yan-Chu in the future was an opportunity that even surpassed the status of the Sect Master of the Heaven One Sect—a chance that could be sought but not found!

The white-haired old man smiled without a word and said, "The battlefield is too dangerous. I actually think he is suitable for the State Supervision Academy. I will take him as a disciple and teach him how to stabilize the country and how to assist the Emperor."

"Hmph, without the stimulation of danger, how can there be any true warriors? You..."

The golden-armored middle-aged man clearly did not approve and was about to retort when suddenly, with a *slap*, the white-haired old man's piece fell, and he said with a smile:

"It's your turn."

The golden-armored middle-aged man glared, looked closely at the chessboard twice, and said angrily, "You're cheating."

The white-haired old man smiled without a word, turned his head to look into the distance, and said, "Although that youth has no bloodline, his background is not simple. His means of controlling immortal power actually remind me of some old acquaintances..."

"Hmm?"

The golden-armored middle-aged man was slightly startled, turned his head, and stared intently.

At this moment, in the Tenth Desolate Domain.

Li Hao had already picked up the sword in his hand. He did not use the Taowu, but only the True Treasure sword of a Heaven Academy disciple.

In his view, this sword was sufficient.

With numerous Extreme Realm powers and final realm powers activated, except for the Nine Flower Immortal Seal which he had not yet used, Li Hao had already displayed his power to the extreme.

The Ancestral Immortal Body, including the Heaven-Defying Imperial Art of the Following Heaven Ancestral Scripture!

This Heaven-Defying Imperial Art required the Imperial Dao Level Eleven to master, and its strength was in no way inferior to the Ancestral Immortal Body.

The precision of his control over immortal power was far beyond what other imperial arts could compare to. Li Hao's immortal power condensed into lines; with his current Imperial Dao, he could only condense nine at most!

The nine strands of immortal power merged into one force and then tightened. For every additional strand of immortal power tightened, the power doubled. With the nine strands of immortal power condensed, the instantaneous explosion of immortal power, combined with Li Hao's own True Immortal Realm Level Three and the power of numerous Extreme Realms, instantly broke through the immortal power that could be exerted by a perfected True Immortal Realm Level Ten.

One sword, Blue Sky!

Slash!!

Li Hao suddenly swung his sword out. The space before him seemed to be split open, immortal power poured out, and in an instant, the compressed sword edge split the fog wall.

Although it was not as effortless as Xing Lan's, Li Hao's cultivation was only at the True Immortal Realm Level Three!

As the fog wall tore apart, the lightning-flashing Dao origin, as well as the crimson firelight and frozen ice, were simultaneously revealed and swarmed toward Li Hao.

Li Hao's expression changed again, and the sword light in his hand reversed accordingly. Only-I Sword Dao, Break!

With a *bang*, the void tore open like a fault line. Only-I Sword Dao, everything I see shall be slashed!

Numerous Dao origins were shattered, Li Hao's figure stepped out, and immediately after, he crossed through!

With True Immortal Realm Level Three, he broke the Tenth Desolate Domain and crossed into the Eleventh Desolate Domain, where only those in the Immortal Monarch Realm could set foot!
