Chapter 854: Dao Field Blood Fight
Wild Region, in a certain ancient Chaos clan.
"Who is this Haotian, actually stealing the limelight so much!"
"He must have secretly accumulated elsewhere before, contemplated Chaos power, so he could quickly comprehend 69 Chaos Stars. He held it for so long just to show it off in one morning!" 【854-4
Within the clan, many imposing figures were whispering, all feeling somewhat resentful.
The Ancient Chaos Clan has always been extremely exclusionary toward outsiders, and these outsiders are primarily the human race.
After all, the resources of the Primordial True Realm are limited. Nowadays, the main regions are all in the hands of human Great Emperors. Only the Primordial Immortal Emperor rose from within the Ancient Chaos Clan, while the Chaos and Dao Origin Immortal Emperors are both human Great Emperors.
This has also led to an increasing number of humans in the Primordial True Realm over the years. Every period of Chaos time, they bring in more humans from the True Realm.
For every quota of newcomers, the Ancient Chaos Clan collectively opposes it, arguing with the human race and only allowing the humans to obtain some spots through certain forms of trading.
But after countless ages of accumulation, it has become a relatively large number, especially the prodigies among the humans, who can already rival the top prodigies of the Ancient Chaos Clan. This is something they cannot tolerate!
The Ancient Chaos Clan are innate beings of Chaos. Their ancestors were nurtured by Chaos, and some were born from the power of the Heavenly Dao, making them naturally terrifying.
Those with the purest bloodlines are born with the Nine-Order Nine-Flower Immortal Seal. After the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor opened up the final realm of the Dao Origin Immortal Seal, they easily entered that final realm.
This has also led to the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor having a certain level of prestige within the Ancient Chaos Clan, despite being human.
"Hmph, contemplating the power of Chaos elsewhere is far less efficient than on the Chaos Stars. This is abandoning the root to pursue the trivial, just for the sake of fame!"
"Regardless, seeing this human show off is really annoying!"
"Should we challenge him in the arena and teach the human a lesson?"
"I heard he is the personal disciple of the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor; I'm afraid it will be difficult to kill him."
"Who said anything about killing him? Just beat him to a pulp, destroy his divine body, and shatter his Dao heart. Let the humans behave themselves and stop always trying to make such a big scene—who are they trying to scare!"
Many Chaos prodigies in the clan were filled with intense killing intent. After all, their clan itself consists of Chaos beasts. The descendants of those from their clan who left for the True Realm are fierce great demons who have eaten countless humans.
While many of the Ancient Chaos Clan were investigating Li Hao's identity, Li Hao arrived at the Dao Origin Hall on Extreme Dao Mountain.
The Mysterious Turtle Emperor Soul flew out from Li Hao's lapel, its aged turtle face wearing a constipated expression, looking extremely complicated.
Having followed Li Hao the whole way, it had witnessed with its own eyes how Li Hao contemplated the 69 Chaos Stars.
In just one day, climbing 69 stars—this is an unprecedented event in the entire Primordial True Realm!
Of course, it could guess the reason. Judging by how Li Hao could comprehend the Chaos stone wall after just a brief glance, he clearly had a very deep understanding of Chaos power long ago. Coupled with the fact that he possesses the Dao Origin Immortal Seal and his Nine-Order Great Dao realm is not low, he was able to quickly comprehend and master the Chaos Stars.
But, this young man just arrived in the Primordial True Realm; where did he comprehend the power of Chaos in the past?
One must know, the best place to comprehend the power of Chaos is the Chaos Stars.
Unless an Immortal Emperor simulated and created primordial Chaos for Li Hao to practice, but Immortal Emperors usually wouldn't spoil their personal disciples like that.
After all, this consumes the origin of the Heavenly Dao and is also a loss for the Immortal Emperor.
For an Immortal Emperor in the True Realm, rather than wasting their own resources, it would be better to simply send Li Hao into the Primordial True Realm to contemplate on the Chaos Stars.
After all, if an Immortal Emperor really wants to shove someone in, isn't it just a matter of a single word?
"You've caused quite a stir."
Seeing Li Hao and Shi Miao return, the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor swept his sleeve across the chessboard and said to the person below the hall with a smile.
"Greetings, Master."
Li Hao hurriedly bowed and cupped his fists. Seeing that he wasn't angry, he felt relieved and said, "This disciple was worried that the commotion caused was too great and a bit too flashy."
"Only the capable deserve to be flashy."
The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor laughed and said, "My disciples of Extreme Dao Mountain have no need to be timid. If anyone is dissatisfied, just trample them all."
He spoke casually and easily, as if the heavens, sun, and moon, like flowers and grass, could all be extinguished.
Li Hao felt a bit sheepish. Only his Master could say such things. As an Immortal Emperor at the final realm of cultivation, he was almost invincible in the world.
Except for those in the same realm.
Thinking of this, Li Hao couldn't help but feel curious. During the Great Ancient Demon War, when Immortal Emperors fell, since they were all at the final realm, were there differences in strength?
The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor's gaze seemed to pierce through the human heart. Seeing Li Hao's inner thoughts, he chuckled: "Are you wondering if there are strengths and weaknesses among Immortal Emperors? Naturally, there are, but even a weaker Immortal Emperor is difficult to kill, unless..."
He shook his head slightly, said no more, and instead asked: "To have such rapid comprehension, did you contemplate the power of Chaos beforehand?"
"Yes."
Li Hao knew he couldn't say no, otherwise he couldn't explain his ability to add points. He could only apologize in his heart while deceiving him. Even though he was extremely grateful to the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor, some things were ultimately not worth bringing up to cause complications.
The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor's eyes flickered slightly. He looked deeply at Li Hao, the smile on the corner of his mouth unchanged, and said:
"I previously said you could catch up to your Sixth Jiang Shijie within a thousand years; I underestimated you. Since you have your own opportunities, as your Master, I won't ask more. Just master it well and strive to break through to become a King soon, and find your own Emperor's path..."
He spoke earnestly, his gaze both solemn and majestic: "As for the rest, leave it to me. Before you step into the Quasi-Emperor realm, no one can bully you!"
Hearing this, Li Hao felt a sense of shame in his heart, followed by indescribable gratitude. He nodded heavily: "Thank you, Master!"
The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor's solemn expression relaxed, and he smiled: "Also, if you really feel it's too flashy and worry about the burden of fame, you can choose to hide yourself. That way, others won't be able to investigate your ranking on the Chaos Heavenly Dao List."
"Hide?"
Li Hao was stunned.
"That's right, just communicate with the Chaos Heavenly Dao List in your mind and recite it. This way, even if you surpass others, they will only know they have been surpassed, but when they pry into your information, it will all be hidden, and they won't know who it is."
The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor said.
Li Hao couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. He didn't want to cause too much of a stir for the time being, especially since he still needed to continue adding points to the Chaos Dao and melting Chaos Laws.
If he melted them too quickly, he feared even his Master would be shocked.
After all, contemplating 69 stars in one day is one thing, but rapidly cultivating 23 Chaos Laws and melting them is another level of significance.
He felt that he had comprehended 69 stars with just the first stage of insight into the Chaos Dao.
Now at the second stage of Chaos, he could continue adding points. By the third or fourth stage, he feared he would already be able to melt quite a few Chaos Laws!
If necessary, it is better to be low-key at the right time to avoid attracting great tribulations.
Seeing the joy on Li Hao's face, the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor knew that Li Hao's nature did not like to be flashy. He smiled and said nothing more. He had already seen that this disciple's Dao heart was extraordinary; how he did things should be left to his own heart.
He raised his hand and tapped lightly in the hall, and in an instant, six whirlpools appeared.
"Such a happy event should also be notified to your Senior Brothers and Sisters, especially Lingshu."
Before long, Gu Mofan, Di Wushe, and the others appeared one after another.
The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor briefly explained Li Hao's situation, and all six were shocked, especially Di Lingshu.
"69 stars, contemplated in one day?"
Di Lingshu activated the Chaos Heavenly Dao List, which appeared in the hall. Seeing Li Hao's ranking at 260,000, she felt her breathing stall.
Previously, she had bet on whether Li Hao could catch up to her and contemplate the first Chaos Star within three years. As it turned out, in the blink of an eye, Li Hao had actually completed it in just one year!
"Little Junior Brother, this is too exaggerated!"
Beside her, Lei Jingfeng couldn't help but say. As a prodigy, he felt his scalp tingling at this moment.
"Little Junior Brother has only been here for a year, right? To have such results in one year..."
Beside him, Long Qingge's eyes also bulged. As a top prodigy of the Ancestral Dragon Clan, he was born with Chaos aura in his bloodline, but his speed in contemplating Chaos Stars was not as fast as Di Lingshu's, let alone compared to Li Hao.
Hearing their words, the Mysterious Turtle Emperor Soul coughed twice and said: "It's not a year, oh. This kid became a disciple a year ago and stayed on the mountain for a year doing nothing. He only just went to the Chaos Stars today."
Hearing his addition, the hall became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Gu Mofan and Di Wushe also fell silent, looking at this Little Junior Brother in shock.
They had a feeling that among the personal disciples, an incredible little monster had arrived!
"Too strong. Did Little Junior Brother contemplate the power of Chaos elsewhere before?"
Gu Mofan sighed.
Di Wushe also narrowed his eyes. Being able to contemplate the power of Chaos elsewhere and reach such a realm also proved his extraordinary nature. After all, where would an ordinary person get such an opportunity?
"Amazing. It seems that Little Junior Brother's record will never be surpassed by anyone in the future."
Zhan Qinghuang's beautiful eyes flickered as she gazed at Li Hao. Previously, the fastest among them was Di Wushe, like a peak rising from the ground, but this Little Junior Brother was even more exaggerated, like a sudden thunderclap from the flat ground descending into the world!
"Sure enough, news about you is spreading everywhere outside."
A flash of fire suddenly appeared in Zhan Qinghuang's eyes, and she sighed softly.
She had an avatar in the Chaos Immortal City, and after a little probing, she found that everyone was talking about her Little Junior Brother.
"With this performance, I'm afraid those Ancient Chaos Clans won't be able to sit still."
Gu Mofan said with concentration.
Di Wushe nodded slightly, but his eyes were cold and disdainful. "Whoever dares to challenge in the arena, let Little Junior Brother refuse, and let the Sixth Junior Sister challenge them back one by one!"
"That's right. If they really want to bully Little Junior Brother, there's still Jiang Shijie Lingshu. It's not convenient for us to make a move, but she is at the Immortal Monarch realm."
Lei Jingfeng came back to his senses and said immediately.
Li Hao was curious: "Arena challenge?"
Seeing that Li Hao didn't understand, several people immediately began to educate him.
"... So that's how it is."
Li Hao suddenly understood.
In the Primordial True Realm, it was not a monolith; the races were mixed, but they were mainly divided into True Realm races and the Ancient Chaos Clan.
The True Realm races included many, with the human race at the head, such as the Emperor Clan, Ancient God Clan, and War Heaven Clan. Although they were not purely human and had special bloodlines, they also belonged to the human race.
And someone like Long Qingge, of the Ancestral Dragon Clan—tracing the ancestor back far enough, they also evolved from the Ancient Chaos Clan, but they were a branch expelled by the Ancient Chaos Clan in the early days, multiplying and living in the True Realm until they grew into one of the top demon races.
Upon arriving in the Primordial True Realm, they were collectively referred to by the Ancient Chaos Clan as the Outer Dao Race, while the Ancient Chaos Clan's private name for them in the clan was changed to the Inferior Race, with even more contempt and disgust.
In addition to the True Realm races, the Ancient Chaos Clan also had many tribes, some strong and some weak.
But over countless ages, the resources of the Primordial True Realm have been continuously divided, and contradictions have accumulated. The Ancient Chaos Clan and the True Realm races have been mutually exclusive and often have friction.
Under the rule of several Great Emperors, it turned from private fights that could break out at any time and cause great losses into arena challenges.
Within the same realm, anyone can choose others, and can also be challenged by others.
If you refuse three times in a row, you must agree and choose one of the people who previously challenged you to fight.
To resolve hatred and avoid accumulation—like you killing my biological brother, I challenge to kill your parents and clansmen, etc., with hatred accumulating for generations—the rules of the arena challenge are to avoid casualties. They use Heavenly Dao Laws to create an avatar, and this avatar will fully inherit the various powers of the main body, including combat experience and consciousness!
Fighting with an avatar, even if killed, only causes some trauma to the main body, which can be slowly healed.
And in avatar duels, the loser has nothing to say and can only be convinced.
Competing here, except for hatred, the vast majority of reasons are two words: dissatisfaction!
Why can you humans compare with my Ancient Chaos Clan? We are born with Dao bodies, creatures of Chaos!
Why can you Ancient Chaos Clan be so domineering? So what if my human race is physically weak? We should also break our limits and rise!
Since you are dissatisfied, let's have a fight. Seeing the truth in the hands is simple and direct.
"Isn't this Chaos Arena challenge a great place to hone one's skills?"
Hearing their introduction, Li Hao's eyes brightened.
This is clearly a treasure land for actual combat training!
Seeing Li Hao's eyes shining, Gu Mofan and the others looked at each other. They couldn't tell—is this Little Junior Brother actually a battle maniac?
"You can think so, but in reality, it's not."
Lei Jingfeng shook his head and said: "If the avatar created in the Chaos Arena is destroyed, although the damage to the main body is limited, the failure and various pains of the avatar's destruction will be transmitted to the main body intact, affecting the main body's Dao heart. If you fail too much, the Dao heart will shatter. And if you fail too much, those various feelings of failure will be branded in the main body's heart, forming a nightmare-like shackle!"
"This will not only affect the Dao heart but also cause huge obstacles when breaking through bottlenecks."
Li Hao was slightly startled. Seeing the serious expressions of the others, he immediately understood that this was not as simple as he thought.
"If I create a Dark Side clone with the Double-Sided Person Illustrated Handbook and then use the Dark Side clone to challenge in the arena, I wonder if it will affect the main body."
Li Hao's thoughts turned.
The Dark Side clone can inherit 30% of his power, and this is comprehensive.
With his current realm and means, to project avatars and create clones, he also has many immortal arts and cultivation methods, and he can easily create thousands of avatars.
These avatars can also possess a part of his main body's power, and can even reach up to 50%.
But these avatars are maintained by cultivation methods between him and his main body, not like the Dark Side clone, which is driven by the power of the panel.
Li Hao guessed that if he used an avatar projection to challenge in the Chaos Arena, once defeated, the main body would inevitably be affected. Otherwise, these Senior Brothers and Sisters are all intelligent people; how could they not think of this?
And the Dark Side clone... maybe he has to try to know.
Li Hao pondered in his heart.
Although the Dark Side clone's power is weaker than his own, the moves and attack methods are the same as his own, and he can also use this to see the flaws and shortcomings of his own combat.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Li Hao felt the Chaos Heavenly Dao List vibrate slightly, and a message came.
"Challenge?"
Li Hao was surprised. Just as they were talking about arena challenges, he actually received one immediately.
The message was extremely brief. It was a phantom with a humanoid shape but covered in imposing armor, saying with disdain:
"I am 'Yuan Long' of the Chaos Ni Dragon Clan, 10th level of the Immortal Monarch realm, having contemplated 65 Chaos Stars. Do you dare to accept my challenge?!"
The words were extremely domineering, as if looking down on Li Hao.
"What is it?"
Gu Mofan was meticulous and noticed the change in Li Hao's expression, so he asked.
Li Hao's expression was strange, and he said: "Just finished talking, and someone is challenging me."
"Hmm? Which one doesn't know how to live?"
Hearing this, the expressions of several people turned cold.
Di Lingshu also narrowed her eyes slightly, and killing intent appeared in the depths of her eyes.
Previously, she had a bet with Li Hao and wanted to perform in front of her Master. After all, she had been underestimated by her Master, so she naturally wanted to regain face. But Li Hao's performance had completely convinced her.
Moreover, putting that aside, even if it was their first meeting, someone daring to challenge her Junior Brother was equivalent to provoking the majesty of Extreme Dao Mountain and was also an offense to her Master!
"A Yuan Long from the Ni Dragon Clan," Li Hao said.
"Where did this stray cat or dog come from?"
Di Lingshu's eyes were cold. "Never even heard of it. The Ni Dragon Clan? It's just a branch bloodline of the Chaos Dragon Clan, and they dare to be so arrogant!"
Lei Jingfeng, Long Qingge, and the others had cold eyes but didn't speak. They were at the Immortal King realm and could no longer intervene in arena challenges.
But if the other party went too far, they wouldn't mind joining the Eldest Senior Brother and the others to go to the Ni Dragon Clan's territory.
Suddenly, Li Hao felt the Chaos Heavenly Dao List vibrating again, but this time two messages came.
"Hmm?"
Li Hao touched them with his mind and found that there were two more challenges.
The second one was in the shape of a woman, but with a tail behind her and bat-like ears on her head. What she said was roughly similar to Yuan Long.
And the third one was in human form, saying to Li Hao:
"I am Wu Ming from the Primordial Land, 10th level of the Immortal Monarch realm, having contemplated 67 Chaos Stars. Do you dare to have a blood duel in the arena with me?!"
As he spoke, his eyes were extremely cold, emitting a biting killing intent.
Li Hao felt the other party's killing intent and frowned slightly. The previous two Ancient Chaos Clan members hadn't made him feel such deep killing intent.
"What is an arena blood duel?"
Li Hao looked up and asked his Senior Brothers and Sisters curiously.
"Hmm?"
Hearing Li Hao's words, the expressions of Gu Mofan, Di Lingshu, and the others changed, showing shock and anger.
"Blood duel? Is someone blood dueling you?"
"Who is so bold? Doesn't he know you are the Master's disciple?!"
"Bastard, which Ancient Chaos Clan is so excessive? Are they looking for death!"
The expressions of Gu Mofan and the others were furious.
Shi Miao, who was standing behind Li Hao, was also slightly startled, and then her eyes quickly turned gloomy, as if covered by a layer of waterfall.
Li Hao saw their expressions and felt something was wrong, feeling a bit puzzled.
Lei Jingfeng said to Li Hao: "A Chaos blood duel is fighting with life and death without using an avatar. This is a choice only used for blood feuds!"
Li Hao was stunned. Blood feud?
But he didn't know that phantom at all.
"Which Ancient Chaos Clan is it, Little Junior Brother?"
Di Wushe spoke, staring at Li Hao, but there seemed to be a storm brewing in his eyes.
Li Hao said: "It's not an Ancient Chaos Clan. It's a disciple named Wu Ming from the Wu Clan, practicing in the Primordial Land."
"The Wu Clan?"
Several people were stunned. Obviously, they didn't expect that the one who mentioned a blood duel to Li Hao was actually a human, and a disciple of the Wu Clan, which ranked 12th among the hundred clans.
"Did you have a conflict with a Wu Clan disciple before?" Long Qingge asked suspiciously.
Li Hao shook his head: "Never had any contact."
"The Wu Clan is tired of living!"
Di Lingshu's eyes were cold, and she said to Li Hao: "What is the other party's realm?"
"10th level of the Immortal Monarch realm," Li Hao said.
"Damn it!"
The expressions of several people changed. Li Hao's realm was only at the 3rd level of the Immortal Monarch realm, while the other party was at the 10th level. This gap was too wide.
"You choose the previous one, the one using an avatar duel. I'll handle this Wu-something Ming."
Di Lingshu said.
At this time, Li Hao still had the right to choose, being able to pick one from the three challengers. The previous Ni Dragon Clan didn't choose a blood duel, and even if he lost the avatar battle, he could accept it.
