Volume 3 - Chapter 331: A Casual Defeat - Part 1
As the silver radiance faded, it took with it the lives of five Ancient Fiends. The sword qi, infused with Li Hao’s primordial spirit power, not only obliterated their demonic bodies but also shredded their primordial spirits to pieces.
To the outside eye, it looked as though a silver embroidery needle had danced through the air, and five Ancient Fiends had fallen in succession.
Whoosh!
Li Hao raised his hand. Space power condensed, drawing a spatial rift through the void around him, into which he gathered the five fiends' corpses.
He planned to take them with him when he exited the secret realm.
However, as he examined each corpse before sealing them away, he found nothing unusual—none of the corpses held the Dao Fire mentioned by the Celestial Guard Commander.
“Seems hunting down this Dao Fire and securing a spot for passing the trial won’t be so easy.”
Li Hao’s eyes glinted, yet he remained calm and composed. He linked the pocket dimension within the spatial rift to his own, creating an invisible tether between them. Thus, the rift became like an independent world, one he could use for storage and reserve.
Only those who had mastered the Origin of Space could accomplish such a feat.
As Li Hao pressed on, the scene played out for all those watching his actions with bated breath. They were utterly stunned.
Within this True Immortal Secret Realm, each Ancient Fiend was at the peak of the True Immortal Realm. The five fiends had encircled him, and many had expected a fierce battle—yet it ended in the blink of an eye!
“So fast! What did I just witness?”
“Five Ancient Fiends… dead in an instant! Not even their primordial spirits escaped!”
“That youth is terrifying! Among peers of the same realm, he’s without equal. Is his soul lifespan really just ninety-six years?!”
“Didn’t someone say earlier that his cultivation was forcefully elevated by his sect’s resources? With this level of strength, that’s laughable!”
Exclamations of awe rang out from all the Immortal Dynasties, filled with utter disbelief.
“How interesting… I wonder what race he was in his past life. Could he be a lifeform from the primordial chaos?”
“Even if he were a reincarnation of a primordial chaos lifeform, his performance is still staggering. After all, there’s another contender in this battle who’s also one!”
“That youth’s from the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty? If there’s a chance, we must recruit him—no matter the cost!”
Outside the True Immortal Secret Realm, powerhouses from various dynasties kept their eyes locked on the youth, each hoping to win him over.
Elsewhere, the Immortal Lord Secret Realm had already opened. Immortal Lords from all dynasties had entered in advance and thus had no chance to witness the battles within the True Immortal Realm.
After all, while Immortal Lords and True Immortals competed on different stages, allowing the elders to spectate might have created unfair pressure for the True Immortal contestants.
“That kid… never fails to amaze.”
Li Tiemu beamed with joy as he watched Li Hao’s display.
Li Hao’s very presence was like a beacon of hope, illuminating the path for their sect’s rise.
“Indeed,”
The Great Dream Master nodded lightly, eyes glinting with expectation.
Meanwhile, throughout the True Immortal Secret Realm, the other prodigies had begun encountering Ancient Fiends. Only a few lucky ones remained untouched.
Roar!
One Ancient Fiend roared as it soared through the sky above the primeval mountain range, chasing a youth in purple robes.
This youth kept his hands behind his back and wore a calm expression. He paid no mind to the fiend at his heels, continuing to fly forward.
He appeared to be fleeing—pursued and on the run.
Yet his demeanor was so leisurely, it was as if he were strolling through the royal gardens of his palace.
At last, the fiend’s fierce roars attracted others of its kind. One by one, more Ancient Fiends appeared, drawn to the chase.
“Look! Isn’t that the prince from the Wang Qin Immortal Dynasty? He’s being hunted by just one Ancient Fiend and already fleeing for his life?”
“It’s useless. If he keeps running, he’ll only attract more of them.”
“A royal bloodline, yet he can’t even slay a single fiend?”
“Is this the strength of our Yuanzun royal clan? How disappointing!”
In countless Immortal Cities of the Yuanzun Immortal Dynasty, the sight left many citizens in stunned confusion and disappointment.
But soon, as more fiends joined the chase, their numbers grew to over a dozen.
The roar of their savage pursuit now thundered across a hundred miles.
At that moment, the purple-robed youth gradually slowed and then turned around with ease.
“Which of you has the Dao Fire? Can’t tell. You all look the same.”
He flicked open a folding fan in his hand, lazily scanning the fiends before him, completely unbothered by the stench of blood and foul intent that hung in the air.
The Ancient Fiends weren’t in the mood for talk. The moment he stopped, they closed in rapidly and launched their attack.
Black vortexes emerged, seeking to suck the youth’s primordial spirit into them. The fiends unleashed their full might, displaying all sorts of soul-killing techniques in an effort to annihilate this young prodigy.
Whoosh!
