Volume 3 - Chapter 329: Li Hao’s Soul Lifespan - Part 2
“So this is the Southern Domain Battle Assembly? A soul lifespan limit of three thousand years, yet there are still so many at the Immortal Lord Realm?”
“Could someone really reach the Immortal Lord Realm within just three thousand years?”
“You're too inexperienced. For those peerless geniuses, they likely suppress their cultivation deliberately, focusing instead on comprehending the Dao. Otherwise, they'd reach that realm even faster!”
“That’s right. They consume celestial materials and drink nectar and jade dew. With imperial bloodlines and immortal constitutions, their cultivation soars by the day. It's beyond what we can imagine!”
“How absurd. Without relying on external power, with a three-thousand-year soul lifespan limit, the secret realm of the Immortal Lord Realm actually contains an ancient fiend at the seventh level? Are they trying to get people killed?”
Countless people observed the rare and spectacular event through the images reflected onto the starry skies above the Southern Domain.
This represented the absolute peak of the geniuses from all major factions of the Southern Domain. Its prestige was unmatched, and through this battle, one could glimpse the limits of talent among the myriad clans.
“My Shuanghua Clan’s genius will definitely place in the top ten of the True Immortal Realm!”
“The Shuanghua Clan? I heard there’s even a reincarnated Chaos Snow Spirit here. That kind of talent is said to rival the Shuanghua Clan’s ancestor!”
“My Liuying Clan ranks among the Hundred Clans, and that’s our clan’s genius. He never revealed his true strength during the Immortal Dynasty’s selection. Now his name will resound far and wide!”
“That’s a youth of the Ancient God Clan. So domineering—he dares to attempt slaying a seventh-level Immortal Lord ancient fiend while still in the True Immortal Realm. No wonder his clan ranked among the top ten on Imperial Battle Mountain!”
All across the Southern Domain, the powerful clans entrenched within the various Immortal Dynasties were fervently discussing.
Their clan’s geniuses had joined various sects, entering the Celestial Palace through Immortal Dynasty quotas—not only to represent their dynasties, but also their own clans in battle.
...
At this moment, the Celestial Guard Commander finished speaking and swept his gaze over the crowd.
“Any further questions?”
The crowd fell momentarily silent.
Then, Li Hao suddenly stepped forward and said, “I have a question.”
“Oh?”
The Celestial Guard Commander turned to look at Li Hao, and immediately recognized the youth's extraordinary aura. Dao rhythms coiled around him in the void like dispersed strands of breath—such a display signified an immensely profound grasp of the Dao.
His expression remained calm. “Speak.”
“If I kill an ancient fiend inside, does it belong to me? Can I take it out?” Li Hao asked.
“…”
The Celestial Guard Commander had considered many possibilities, but hadn’t expected such a question. He paused slightly, then nodded. “Naturally.”
Li Hao let out a breath and nodded, saying no more.
This scene, reflected across the Southern Domain, landed in the eyes of a young girl sitting in a small teahouse. Her lake-clear eyes momentarily froze in surprise. Then, the corners of her lips curved into a faint smile.
That guy… could he be planning to demonstrate how to devour ancient fiends in front of everyone?
If that really happened, the entire Southern Domain’s myriad clans might be left utterly dumbfounded.
But when she recalled the way that youth cooked fiend corpses, she instinctively licked her lips, suddenly feeling a little hungry.
To feel hunger toward her own kin—no matter how lax the worldly morals of ancient fiends were, it still bordered on taboo. She gently shook her head, driving the thought away… only for it to surface again unbidden.
“You brat, the next time I catch you, I’m not letting go. I’m taking you back to my clan.”
Mi Xueyao thought to herself. It wasn’t just the taste—she understood all too well the devastating impact of Li Hao’s cooking methods on the ancient fiend clans. If other fiend clans learned of or mastered it—or if the humans began to apply it broadly—the ancient fiends would be plunged into unprecedented danger.
At that point, the Ten Fiend Clans would have no choice but to unite… or face a reversal of fortune.
She knew that if she brought this knowledge back, aside from her own clan, the others might scoff at the warning—just a human youth, after all. How threatening could he be?
Back then, even numerous Immortal Emperors had fallen in that war. Let alone a mere ant.
But she had witnessed dynasties rise and fall, seen immortal arts evolve over generations. She understood this was no miracle, but a transformation brought by new power—like a superior immortal art replacing the old. The impact would be vast and far-reaching, far beyond the power of any single person.
