Chapter 763: The Scavenger Li Hao
"Does he want to rely on himself alone to kill them?"
The other young man's expression was solemn as he whispered.
Miao Bubai's brows were tightly furrowed: "These are not ordinary Ancient Demons. If they were ordinary True Immortal realm perfected, I could kill hundreds, but these are elites, and there is royalty among them!"
While the two were speaking, Di Linchen had already killed his way into the Ancient Demon group under the red clouds.
The Dharma image behind him was towering, revealing a peerless, unparalleled posture. His divine robes were like frost, and every gesture carried the overbearing pressure of an emperor.
In the Ancient Demon tide, a dark, giant beast phantom appeared, emanating the aura of an ancient, fierce beast, fighting with Di Linchen's Dharma image.
A dark power surged out from the Ancient Demon tide, like a barrier, shrouding the surroundings under the red clouds and blocking everyone's line of sight.
"That is the Ancient Demon Underworld Domain!"
"They have long been in ambush. Should we take action to rescue him?"
"Forget it. It's him being reckless. One could see the number of Ancient Demons from the red clouds, yet he still insisted on going his own way. Being reckless requires paying a price."
Seeing the power of that dark barrier, the many figures who had rushed under the red clouds had different expressions.
Miao Bubai turned to look at Li Hao and said: "I fear he is in danger.
Should we take action?"
He wanted to help and befriend that Imperial Clan member.
As a member of the Chijiang royal family, if he could befriend an Imperial Clan member, it would be of great benefit to his status within the royal family.
Li Hao narrowed his eyes and did not speak, but the power of time appeared in his vision. A colorful, mottled line appeared before his eyes, extending into that Ancient Demon Underworld Domain.
That line of time was very thin, but as it flowed, it reflected the scene of the great battle inside.
This was an ability Li Hao had mastered after his Time Origin reached the Fourth Layer realm, capable of briefly peeking at what was about to happen five seconds later.
If time is constant rather than flowing, then one can skip the "present" and observe the future in advance.
But what Li Hao could see was extremely blurry and limited. Moreover, Li Hao did not know if the scene he saw would be altered by himself.
If it is altered, can the "future" still be considered the future? This is a paradox. Perhaps his Time Origin realm needs to reach a deeper level for him to understand and comprehend it.
"Wait a little longer."
Li Hao said to Miao Bubai.
In the scene he saw at this time, Di Linchen was fighting with the Ancient Demon group and was not at a disadvantage at all.
Moreover, the immortal techniques Di Linchen displayed were extremely
powerful. Behind him, there were many starlight wrappings; it was actually the Heavens Star Pulse!
This was the first time Li Hao had seen someone other than himself master this Second End Realm!
Moreover, the other party was also at the True Immortal realm, the same realm as him.
Under the power of the Heavens Star Pulse, Di Linchen displayed terrifying immortal techniques with every gesture—the Immortal Waterfall of Surprise, the Red Burning Fire Domain—turning the surroundings into a chaotic, shattered zone.
In that Ancient Demon tide, hundreds of Ancient Demons joined forces, and the giant fierce beast phantom they summoned tore apart many immortal techniques with every gesture, entangling with Di Linchen.
That fierce beast roared and hissed, shattering many immortal techniques, but Di Linchen condensed them again in the blink of an eye.
And when the immortal techniques bombarded chaotically, they killed some Ancient Demons. As time passed, the number of Ancient Demons slowly decreased. If this continued, the destruction of the Ancient Demon group was only a matter of time. After all, the Heavens Star Pulse was too powerful; as long as he was in a state of equal strength, he could exhaust the enemy to death!
In other words, to kill Di Linchen, one would need power exceeding what he could withstand to kill him instantly!
The Ancient Demon group also realized this. Several Ancient Demons suddenly stepped out and roared. Immediately following, the other Ancient Demons all burned with dark demonic flames. That giant fierce beast phantom roared at the sky, and a black vortex appeared above its head. Chains rippled out from the edge of the vortex, like a door leading to the Underworld.
Di Linchen's expression changed. He no longer continued to display the top immortal techniques of the Imperial Clan, but his palms suddenly closed. Immediately following, a Nine-Flower Immortal Seal appeared on his forehead!
Once that Nine-Flower Immortal Seal appeared, it emanated powerful might. His entire body's immortal power surged, and with a wave of his hand, a giant palm suppressed downward.
That giant palm carried a remote and ancient aura, as if the palm of a Great Emperor was suppressing downward, wanting to shatter heaven and earth.
Li Hao's expression was solemn. From the immortal seal on Di Linchen's forehead, he faintly sensed the power of the Nine Orders.
The other party seemed to be like him—a Nine-Order Immortal Seal!
In this place where countless top monstrous talents from the Southern Region of the True World gathered, Li Hao finally encountered an existence like himself.
As the power of the immortal seal was revealed, outside Di Linchen's Dharma image, an ancient battle robe appeared, revealing the bloodline pressure unique to the Imperial Clan, fighting with the giant fierce beast phantom summoned by the Ancient Demons.
At this time, the surrounding scene suddenly blurred, the line of time became chaotic, and the reflected scene gradually disappeared.
Li Hao was slightly startled, immediately understanding that Di Linchen also mastered the Time Origin, using the power of time during the battle, which led to him being unable to peek with the Eye of Time anymore.
"Should we go help him?"
Gu Xingwan looked at Li Hao, worry appearing in her eyes.
Every second inside was a life-and-death test; she was worried that the person had already fallen inside.
"No need, he can handle it."
Li Hao shook his head slightly. Although he could not see the scene inside, having seen the strength Di Linchen displayed, he understood that the Ancient Demon group could not do anything to him.
Seeing Li Hao's such trust in Di Linchen, Miao Bubai and the other young man couldn't help but look at Li Hao. As a friend of that Imperial Clan member, since Li Hao said so, they had even less reason to rush to take action to rescue him.
Moreover, the Underworld Domain that the Ancient Demons had laid out in advance was similar to the human Dao Domain, but more solid and terrifying. Breaking it open would also be somewhat troublesome.
While they were waiting, outside the True World Secret Realm, Emperor Chu and the others also saw this scene.
"That little fellow of the Imperial Clan seems very confident."
"It's a pity that through the reflected screen, one cannot use the power of time to trace back and see the scene inside."
"I have seen that little fellow before. He has the shadow of the Nine Orders on him; he should be fine."
"Look quickly, the little fellow of the Ancient God Clan on the other side also intends to go alone."
Several emperors looked at the Ancient Demon gathering places in various parts of the True World Secret Realm, seeing another place where many geniuses were gathered. After that Ancient God Clan youth rushed over, he directly charged in and took action, not intending to unite with others.
"It seems these fellows are the top-level True Immortal group of this Southern Region Battle, far exceeding other geniuses."
Emperor Jin shook his head slightly, a hint of regret appearing in his eyes.
Such monstrous talents, their Jinyun Qin Xianchao did not have.
Being able to resist a hundred is fine, but the fellow who can resolve these hundreds of Ancient Demons alone has undoubtedly reached the limit of the True Immortal realm.
While they were communicating, countless people in various parts of the Southern Region were also stunned by these scenes. They originally thought the geniuses inside would face a great catastrophe and perhaps the Grand Void Gate Supreme would take action to stop such an accident. They did not expect that the top geniuses inside would actually charge into the Ancient Demon group alone.
"Too crazy. Aren't they True Immortals?"
"Is the gap between True Immortals this big?!"
"Being at the same True Immortal realm level ten, it's difficult for me to kill even one Ancient Demon. This is too exaggerated!"
While countless people were craning their necks to watch, suddenly, an Ancient Demon gathering place dissipated, and a figure walked out from within.
Accompanied by the reflection of that scene, various parts of the Southern Region boiled over.
"My god, what did I see?!"
"That, that, that Ancient Demon group is gone, they are all corpses!"
"It seems like it was only in the blink of an eye, my god!"
"That, that seems to be the Supreme's disciple!"
Countless people looked at the snow-clothed youth who had slaughtered the Ancient Demon gathering place, shock in their eyes.
That youth passed by the Ancient Demon gathering place and flew directly into the
red clouds. When the dark Underworld Domain covered the area, before everyone could react, that dark Underworld Domain dissipated again.
Immediately following, that youth walked out as if nothing had happened, but behind him were the corpses of hundreds of Ancient Demons!
It was only the effort of a single breath from beginning to end!
Not only did he wipe out that Ancient Demon gathering place, it seemed to be a naked instant kill!
It was like a True Immortal lifting a hand to refine a mortal city in an instant, without any effort.
The elders and sect masters of various Immortal Dynasties standing outside the True Immortal Secret Realm also noticed this, all of them freezing, revealing expressions of disbelief.
Even that Imperial Clan member and that Ancient God Clan youth were still in a great battle at the Ancient Demon gathering place, and it hadn't ended yet, but that Supreme's disciple actually...
"That, is that true or false?"
Li Tiemu's eyes widened. The old man was frightened, somewhat terrified, suspecting that his old eyes were dim.
Beside him, the Great Da Da Meng Zhu's expression also solidified somewhat. That Imperial Clan member and Ancient God Clan youth were already the ceiling of this batch of geniuses. In her view, they were even stronger than Li Hao.
But that Supreme's disciple was actually even more exaggerated!
"Could he be the Dao Source Immortal Seal?"
This terrifying thought surfaced in the Great Da Da Meng Zhu's heart, somewhat shocked, but soon, she shook her head again. If he were truly the Dao Source Immortal Seal,
there would be no need to participate in this Southern Region Battle at all; he could directly enter that Primitive True World, and the Emperor of that Primitive True World would definitely accept him gladly.
"Supreme, that disciple of yours is truly extraordinary!"
High in the sky, the Empress of the Chijiang Qin Xianchao, wearing snake-shaped earrings, said with a look of amazement.
"There is very deep sword intent remaining there; it seems he killed them instantly with one sword."
"What a terrifying Sword Dao."
Emperor Chu and the others also nodded in comment, not sparing their praise.
The Grand Void Gate Supreme only glanced at it, his expression as usual. To everyone's praise, he only revealed a slight smile and said:
"It was just a few hundred Ancient Demons. If several thousand gathered, it would only be for my disciple to take action."
His eyes looked at the young man beside him.
Emperor Chu, Empress Yuan Zun, and the others were stunned, only then realizing that the disciple the other party mentioned earlier did not refer to this young man, but rather the two disciples in the secret realm.
Combined with the snow-clothed youth's actions just now, it was indeed possible to resolve these gathered Ancient Demons.
"It seems this Southern Region Battle will likely be a contest for the championship between your two disciples."
The Chijiang Empress sighed softly.
She saw her own prince outside the red clouds, not taking action. That approach was indeed steady, but it also showed that the gap in strength was too large.
At this time, in the True Immortal Secret Realm.
The dark Underworld Domain dissipated. Di Linchen stood in the void, his robes fluttering slightly, looking somewhat dirty and stained with a little demonic blood.
His hair fluttered, and he adjusted his breathing slightly before turning to look at Li Hao in the distance. His figure flickered, and he appeared before Li Hao as if teleporting.
The pressure of the great battle still lingered on him. Although the immortal seal on his forehead had long since been hidden and restrained, the pressure of his own Imperial Clan bloodline made Miao Bubai, Gu Xingwan, and the others change color slightly.
"Go collect those corpses. Do you still want the Dao Fire?"
He lifted his hand, and dozens of Dao Fire clusters appeared in his palm.
Seeing so many Dao Fire clusters, Miao Bubai and the other young man's expressions changed slightly.
Although they had already hunted their own Dao Fire, looking at the meaning of this Imperial Clan member, it was clear that if Li Hao wanted them, he would gift them.
Was the friendship between these two actually this deep?
They couldn't help but look deeply at Li Hao.
Li Hao swept his eyes over these Dao Fire clusters, but shook his head slightly and said: "I have enough Dao Fire in my hands. If it's not enough, I'll go hunt some more. You keep these."
"Keeping them is of no use to me."
Di Linchen shook his head slightly, then lifted his hand, throwing out the dozens of Dao Fire clusters in his hand. They shot straight toward the sky, then scattered
in all directions.
"Whoever wants them, take them."
After he finished speaking, he said to Li Hao: "I'm going back."
"Good."
Li Hao nodded. After Di Linchen teleported and disappeared, he did not delay any longer, quickly arriving at the battlefield, opening a space crack, and collecting the corpses all over the ground.
Miao Bubai looked at the scattered Dao Fire, but did not go to chase them. His expression was somewhat complicated. If he encountered this Imperial Clan guy in the later arena battles, he felt that directly admitting defeat to preserve his combat strength might be the best strategy.
"He could actually resolve it alone. Could that guy be the Nine-Order Immortal Seal?"
The other young man narrowed his eyes, revealing deep wariness.
After this battle ended, the geniuses of various Immortal Dynasties who had rushed to the red clouds all deeply remembered Di Linchen.
"Let's go, there are more over there. Let's go over and take a look."
Li Hao finished collecting the corpses and called out to Lin Qingying and Gu Xingwan.
The two women looked at each other, both having recovered from the shock. They hadn't expected the friend Li Hao knew to have resolved those hundreds of Ancient Demons alone.
Seeing Li Hao still wanting to go to the next red cloud, the two women hurriedly followed.
When Li Hao arrived at the next red cloud, the battle here had also ended. Shen Wuji was patting the flesh off his body. Seeing Li Hao arrive, he raised his brows slightly, gave Li Hao an expression of "don't forget what you promised me earlier," and turned to teleport away.
"That person seems to know you too."
Lin Qingying's eyes were sharp, and she said to Li Hao.
Li Hao laughed, not saying much, and hurried to the battlefield to collect corpses.
Outside the secret realm, many people also noticed Li Hao's actions and were all surprised.
"What is that guy doing, collecting Ancient Demon corpses everywhere."
"Feels like a scavenger. I don't know, I thought he was responsible for cleaning up this secret realm."
"Could there be some treasure in those corpses?"
"What are you thinking? If there were truly treasure, others would collect it too."
"Maybe it's just a strange hobby."
Everyone discussed animatedly, all teasing Li Hao's strange behavior.
As time passed, Li Hao rushed to one Ancient Demon gathering place after another. Under the reflection of the red clouds, these Ancient Demon gathering places were extremely conspicuous and could be seen from far away.
However, by the time Li Hao arrived, these gathering places were already surrounded by people, and they were in the midst of a great battle.
Some were three or five people joining forces, some were dozens, or even hundreds of people resisting together.
Seeing this, Li Hao was happy to save the trouble, fishing in troubled waters inside, while simultaneously collecting corpses.
As the corpses stockpiled in the space crack increased, the smile on Li Hao's face became more and more brilliant.
