Chapter 798: Obstruction
Emperor Linchen had previously only regarded Li Hao as an interesting friend with similar interests and had not regarded Li Hao as an opponent.
It was just because he felt that the only ones who could be his opponents were those two Supreme Being's personal disciples, including other great clan geniuses, such as Gui Lingyue, Shen Wuji, and others, who were not regarded as opponents by him because the gap was too obvious.
But now, the power revealed by Li Hao made him couldn't help but laugh. It turned out that he had misjudged, and the one who was truly inferior was not the other party, but himself.
On the Imperial Platform, Li Hao looked at the power of solidified time and space, his gaze moved up, looking at the array barrier above the Imperial Platform. There, the Heavenly Guard Commander stood in the air, his eyes revealing solemnity amidst shock.
Undoubtedly, being able to save Jian Xin's life in time was definitely not Jian Xin's own power.
And interference from outside the field also indicated that Jian Xin lost.
It's just a pity that he failed to send him to reincarnation... Li Hao felt regret in his heart. The other party first revealed murderous intent toward him, wanting to kill him within three moves, and he just returned the favor.
Time slowly loosened, gradually shrinking and reversing.
Then, the cracks all over Jian Xin's Primordial Spirit healed in an instant, and the sword intent of the Five-Absolute Imperial Sword on it was wiped away.
Jian Xin survived, and his flesh also grew in the blood mist, recovering in a blink of an eye, as if nothing had happened.
But this scene just now was also imprinted in Jian Xin's eyes. He dumbly looked at Li Hao, his brain buzzing, all of it was unbelievable, and unacceptable!
He would lose? He would actually lose?!
Sword Dao Sixth Layer, crowning the True Immortal Realm, even creating a miracle. Even the Master instructed him before the battle to save some strength and not hurt the geniuses of other immortal dynasties. After all, the Southern Region was currently lacking people, and these geniuses would be the pillars of the Southern Region in the future.
But he didn't expect that he would actually lose.
In a short three moves, he lost two moves—one defeat, and one almost died.
Previously, Master said the three-move test, he didn't want to let that youth cross the threshold of these three moves, but now, the one who couldn't cross it was actually himself!
"What kind of sword is that?!"
Jian Xin's Primordial Spirit couldn't care about returning to his body. In his blank brain, his thoughts slightly slowed down, looking at Li Hao in shock and anger.
He was rarely out of character, his emotions fluctuated one after another, unable to control himself.
"Imperial Sword."
Li Hao's eyes were indifferent, looking at him faintly. The power in his whole body was gradually put away, and the Gongming in his hand also gradually dissipated into nothingness.
The Heaven and Earth Dharma Image behind him gradually faded. With someone else intervening, this battle had already been decided, and he should leave here, unless the Supreme Being didn't keep his word.
But in front of countless people in the Southern Region, Li Hao felt that this Supreme Being wouldn't be like that.
"Imperial Sword?"
Jian Xin only felt his brain roaring like thunder. How could he not see that the sword was extremely terrifying? The sword technique's skill was clearly not as good as his, but it contained a terrifying Imperial Sword majesty, and the Great Dao Origin of that sword technique connected the five origins, forming a unique origin power!
This kind of power made his Nine-Sequence Origin unable to respond.
But all paths in the world come from the Nine-Sequence. He was also a Nine-Sequence Origin Immortal Seal. Similarly, the Nine-Sequence Great Dao had all reached the Fourth Layer, equivalent to Li Hao's realm. Why could Li Hao perform this sword, but he couldn't?!
He couldn't accept it, couldn't believe it, but the facts were before his eyes. Only confusion and shock remained in his heart.
"That sword technique is evolved from the power of the five origins. Who taught it to you? Your Master?!"
Jian Xin gritted his teeth and said angrily.
There was nothing but unwillingness in his eyes. Since birth, his Sword Dao aptitude had been unique among his clan.
The same sword technique, other clansmen took hundreds of years to comprehend, and geniuses took several years to master, while he only needed to look twice and understand in a day!
From childhood to adulthood, he cultivated various things, never encountering obstacles, and never encountering things that made him feel difficult.
The wonderful sword techniques that others found difficult to comprehend were clear and understandable in his eyes. He didn't know why others were so stupid, and only later did he know that he was too special.
Toward the sword, he had extraordinary understanding, and also extraordinary love and obsession!
He wanted to become the Supreme Being of the sword, the God of the sword, to slash out an Imperial Path with the sword and become a Sword Dao Supreme Being!
But now, in the same realm, under the duel of Sword Dao, he actually lost. He felt his Dao Heart was collapsing, unable to accept it!
"If one takes heaven and earth as a master, then that can be considered a master."
Li Hao stopped his footsteps, turned slightly, his indifferent eyes containing no emotion. He knew that in full view of everyone, especially in this Tiangong territory, it was impossible for him to kill the other party. If he were killed by the other party, the Heavenly Guard Commander would absolutely not take the initiative to intervene.
This was already unfair, but he could accept it. After all, this was someone else's territory.
"If the Master you speak of is that Celestial Emperor Tianyang of mine, then I have to let you regret it. It is not."
Saying this, Li Hao didn't look back again, withdrew his indifferent gaze, and walked toward the outside of the Imperial Platform.
"What?"
Jian Xin froze. Li Hao's previous sentence gave him a special feeling, as if he had realized something, but the following sentence made him feel lost again.
Whoosh!
His figure flickered, top-tier movement technique revealed, like a residual sword light, reflecting in front of Li Hao.
He blocked Li Hao's path, gritting his teeth, his eyes complex and persistent, saying: "I lost, but I want to know, where did you comprehend this sword technique? Is it what you said, from heaven and earth?"
"I have no obligation to tell you."
Li Hao said coldly.
Jian Xin's face was ugly, saying: "Is it comprehended from heaven and earth? That sword technique contains five origins. Did you comprehend it from the five origins?!"
"Since you have already guessed, you should move aside."
Li Hao said coldly, not wanting to let the other party pester him endlessly. After all, he couldn't really do anything to the other party now.
"Impossible. I also comprehended the five origins, and they all reached the Fourth Layer of Origin realm. This is a sword technique. If you can comprehend it, then I can also comprehend it!"
Jian Xin shook his head, disbelief in his eyes, but his expression was a bit dejected.
Li Hao saw his madman-like appearance, a trace of mockery appeared in the corner of his eyes, saying: "You and I both comprehend the Nine-Sequence, both reached the Fourth Layer of Origin, so what? This is just like you and I standing on the same building, watching the same scenery, but your Dao Heart and mine are different. You are called Jian Xin, I am named Hao Tian. The scenery in your eyes and mine is the same, but the scenery in your heart and mine is heaven and earth!"
Hearing Li Hao's words, Jian Xin's heart shook violently. Countless messy thoughts seemed to be cut off by these words at this moment.
He dumbly looked at Li Hao, only these words echoing in his mind.
The scenery in the eyes is the same... but the scenery in the heart is heaven and earth?!
Li Hao didn't ignore what the other party was thinking, and stepped past the other party, wanting to leave the Imperial Platform.
It was just that when he walked to the edge of the Imperial Platform, he saw that the array barrier had not been opened, and couldn't help but change his expression slightly, looking up at the Heavenly Guard Commander, saying in a low voice:
"Why, not keeping your word? You rashly intervened in this battle to save his life. He has already saved his life, so it should count as my win, right? Or do you want to have another round!"
He stood on the platform, his voice not loud, but sonorous and powerful like thunder, echoing on the mountaintop, echoing throughout the Southern Region.
And Li Hao's words also made countless people present who were in a daze wake up and come back to their senses.
Countless uproars sounded. Various immortal dynasties and immortal cities in the Southern Region were shocked and boiling at this moment.
This battle actually ended with Li Hao's victory!
Three moves, the third move almost beheaded Jian Xin!
Previously, the Supreme Being said the three-move test. Undoubtedly, Li Hao not only passed it but also had more than enough!
Jian Xin, who was the Supreme Being's personal disciple, was defeated by Li Hao. From the perspective of soul life, Li Hao was undoubtedly more qualified to become the Supreme Being's personal disciple!
It was just that the request the youth made was to refuse, only asking to leave safely.
For a time, countless people were discussing intensely, sending out cheers of shock.
Although Li Hao was a Sinful Immortal's disciple, at this moment, the talent displayed made countless people in the Southern Region feel a strong sense of cherishing talent.
Such a genius, only a hundred years of soul life, so what if he is a Sinful Immortal's disciple? There is still time to correct, still time to teach!
Compared to the status of a Sinful Immortal's disciple, such talent is what the Southern Region needs most now, and it is a powerful combat force that can fight against Ancient Demons in the future!
"Terrifying, too terrifying!"
"Such a monster, how many years has our Southern Region not given birth to one? Even those few Celestial Emperors who created numerous myths, in the True Immortal Realm period, were not as good as this, right."
"This is Imperial Dao aptitude, this is an Imperial Son. Cultivate well, and in the future, our Southern Region will definitely produce another Celestial Emperor!"
"I didn't expect that the Sinful Immortal had already fallen, yet he could still receive such a disciple. It can be considered a blessing for our Southern Region!"
Many blessed lands and ancient secret realms, the figures of the old survivors, all looked up at this scene, shock and excitement in their eyes.
They had experienced the Ancient Demon Battle catastrophe and knew that the slaughter had almost swept through the Southern Region, countless places were devastated, everywhere was wailing, corpses were everywhere. The intensity of that tragedy was ten times more terrifying than purgatory!
They longed for power. They didn't want to experience that kind of disaster again. They had lived in seclusion for many years, cultivating their clansmen and themselves, just to deal with the catastrophe in the future.
Now, seeing the birth of such a monstrous new star, how could they not be happy, how could they not be excited!
"Senior Brother, actually lost..."
Ming Yue dumbly watched this scene, completely dazed.
This scene wouldn't even appear in her dreams, but it actually happened in reality.
One must know that Jian Xin entered the sect earlier than her, and in terms of combat power, he was also stronger than her by a point.
In her view, except for that Imperial Clan kid who had some threats and didn't know his trump card, it was impossible for Senior Brother to lose.
"He won..."
On the mountaintop, the Great Dream Lord and Li Tiemu and others also didn't expect Li Hao to win. After being stunned, they were all excited and overjoyed.
At this moment, hearing Li Hao's questioning voice echoing, they all woke up. Yes, the strange time-stop of Jian Xin's flesh and blood just now was clearly external interference. Any Immortal King present could see it at a glance, and it couldn't be fake.
"Don't be anxious."
The Heavenly Guard Commander looked down at Li Hao, deep shock also appearing in his eyes. It was just that his position was there, his duty was there. Even if he marveled at the youth's monstrous nature, he could better understand the Imperial Heart.
"You have the conditions to become the Supreme Being's personal disciple. Are you really not going to consider it again?"
The Heavenly Guard Commander inquired.
Li Hao's expression changed slightly. This sounded like an inquiry, but in his ears, it felt like a threat.
He didn't expect that this Supreme Being would really intend to go back on his word!
As a Supreme Being, the top realm of the True Realm, how could he be like this?
He suppressed his anger and said in a low voice: "This junior accepts the Supreme Being's kindness, but my path is used to being free, and I don't like being bound. If Ancient Demons invade on a large scale in the future, as long as I, Hao Tian, am still here, I will definitely do my best!"
The Heavenly Guard Commander secretly thought, good kid, these words are really comprehensive. It was just that he knew if Li Hao were really allowed to leave like this, he would definitely become a great disaster in the future.
"You must not mistake yourself. With your talent, if you have the Supreme Being's cultivation, you will have hope of achieving the Imperial Position in the future!"
The Heavenly Guard Commander said in a low voice: "Don't think that just because your talent is extremely high, you can look down on everything. You are a Sinful Immortal's disciple. The Supreme Being not counting past grudges is already magnanimous. You are so stubborn and don't cherish your talent. When the Ancient Demon catastrophe truly descends in the future, I don't know what realm you will use to participate in the war? Could it be the Immortal Monarch Realm?"
Li Hao's expression changed and he said angrily: "Previously, the Supreme Being had already promised me, yet you still obstruct. What do you mean? Could it be that you don't even put the Supreme Being's words in your eyes?"
The Heavenly Guard Commander didn't expect Li Hao to be so eloquent, using the Supreme Being to suppress him.
He sneered in his heart, guessing the Imperial Heart, he naturally knew that he absolutely couldn't let Li Hao leave so easily.
"I am just advising, don't be ungrateful."
The Heavenly Guard Commander said with a straight face: "Since you want to go, then go. But from now on, your life and death have nothing to do with the Tiangong. If you waste your talent and don't think about making progress, indulging in pleasure, when the Ancient Demon catastrophe arrives, you will still only be at the Immortal Monarch Realm, or an ordinary Immortal King Realm. By then, even if you die for the Southern Region, it will only be a kind of sadness!"
Li Hao saw the Imperial Platform barrier disappear, and the other party was finally willing to rest assured. He still breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Regardless of what, at least on the surface, they didn't tear their faces apart in the end.
As for the other party's words, he just sneered twice in his heart. If he really stayed, he would be the one in real danger. Would that Supreme Being really not count past grudges and cultivate him? He absolutely didn't believe it. After all, he had already perceived that he was in an Imperial Dao chess game, just a chess piece for the game.
At this moment, as the Heavenly Guard Commander's words spread, countless people in the Southern Region had complex eyes.
That youth refusing the Supreme Being's personal disciple status was rare in eternity. But, as the Heavenly Guard Commander said, with such talent, if not cultivated well, and going astray in the future, it would be a real pity.
After all, the True Immortal Realm is still too young. At this moment, although Li Hao's talent is peerless, he is just a good seedling that needs to be well cared for and cultivated.
From the Immortal Monarch Realm to the Immortal King Realm, especially the Immortal King Realm, one layer of realm is one ascent to heaven, and crossing ten thousand years is very common. Anything can happen in the future. Having the Supreme Being's cultivation is naturally the most foolproof.
"You don't want to leave!"
When Li Hao stepped out of the Imperial Platform, Ming Yue, who had come back to her senses, suddenly flickered and blocked Li Hao's path.
Her original elegant and frosty expression had long since changed from a banished immortal who didn't eat human fireworks to an angry mortal.
"The Southern Region Battle hasn't ended yet. Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Is it because your identity has been exposed and you want to escape from here?!"
Ming Yue gritted her teeth and glared at Li Hao.
She had heard of the various deeds of that Sinful Immortal and also regarded Li Hao, who inherited his mantle, as the same sinner.
