Volume 3 - Chapter 333: Chaotic Lifeform - Part 2
"Unbelievable! That Ancient God Clan youth is already a monster, yet someone actually managed to snatch something from him!"
"Judging by how calm and composed he looked, I suspect he's on par with that Ancient God Clan youth—if not even stronger!"
"I wish we could see them fight… but unfortunately, the Ancient God Clan youth already left. I suppose he didn’t want to reveal too much of his strength too early."
"Speaking of which, how did Haotian manage to steal the Dao Flame just now?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it was the power of time. Same technique he used to defeat the prince of the Yuanzun Immortal Dynasty earlier—he leveraged the origin of time, attacking from a different timeline. Absolutely inescapable!"
"Isn’t that basically invincible?"
"The First of the Nine Sequences... do you think he’s someone you can deal with so easily?"
Everyone was abuzz with discussion, gaining yet another, deeper understanding of Li Hao's strength.
...
Outside the secret realm.
The Great Dream Master and Li Tiemu both let out a sigh of relief. Though they had long known Li Hao was formidable—having even defeated Chu Tianzheng of the Immortal Lord Realm—they hadn’t been sure whether he'd used any external artifacts like immortal weapons in that battle.
As for the Ancient God Clan youth, from their perspective, he was likely no weaker than Chu Tianzheng. Though only at the True Immortal Realm, his actual combat strength probably rivaled that of an Immortal Lord.
Judging from his earlier words about venturing into the Immortal Lord Realm's secret realm, it was clear his strength was unfathomable.
"This brat really makes your heart race!"
Li Tiemu wiped the sweat from his brow, speaking with an exhausted expression.
The Great Dream Master silently gazed at the youth in the mirror projection, saying nothing. Yet in her bright eyes, there was a trace of concern—she hoped he could walk even further, for he carried the ten-thousand-year hope of the Great Dream Nine Abysses Sect.
Only, this time, the True Immortal Realm group had more prodigies than she had imagined. Besides the Ancient God Clan youth, there were six or seven others who caught her eye. Two of them were disciples of Supreme Beings, and one of them... was shockingly a Chaos-born Being who wielded Chaotic Immortal Arts—terrifying to behold.
Originally, she thought Li Hao had a chance to place in the top three of this Southern Domain Battle Assembly's True Immortal group. But now, even entering the top five would be extremely intense!
"The lure of the Primordial True Realm... it’s truly enormous."
Her eyes flickered as she murmured to herself.
...
"One Dao Flame secured—but that’s not enough."
Inside the secret realm, Li Hao flew among towering peaks at breakneck speed. Along the way, whenever he encountered a lone Ancient Fiend, he would strike them down with a single blow, then swiftly collect them into the spatial rift.
He pressed onward. The number of Ancient Fiends encountered steadily increased. But to Li Hao, what might’ve been a threat seven years ago was now utterly meaningless.
Even if dozens of Ancient Fiends joined forces, they would still be obliterated in an instant.
Li Hao planned to collect more Dao Flames. That way, if he ran into Lin Qingying or Gu Yan, he could gift them some.
Above a certain lake.
Four Ancient Fiends were besieging a single figure. The clash of battle echoed furiously. Raindrops transformed by immortal arts turned into sharp ice arrows, shooting toward the fiends one after another, freezing their bodies.
"Die!"
The white-haired young man’s face contorted with rage as he let out a low roar.
But within the fiends’ bodies, black demonic flames emerged, transforming into ghostly skull shadows that lunged at the young man.
"I can’t lose. I must not fall!"
The white-haired youth bellowed. He had to win glory for his race. His people had yet to join the ranks of the Hundred Clans and were stuck far below the list. This was a rare chance to earn recognition.
He roared as his soul burned, blood tears streaming from his eyes as he charged the fiends.
However, the four Ancient Fiends worked in perfect unison. With a combined demonic howl, they shook his soul, causing his body to tremble uncontrollably.
Just as the white-haired youth was about to be devoured, a silver flash tore through the air.
In an instant, the four fiends—previously mighty and synchronized—suddenly shuddered midair. One after another, they froze in place. Their pupils dilated with shock and fear. And then, the light in their eyes slowly faded.
The bodies of the four fiends plummeted downward.
Before they hit the ground, a terrifying spatial rift opened below, instantly swallowing them.
"Hmm? More Dao Flame?"
A figure stepped out. Li Hao spotted the lingering blue flame in the void, showing a trace of surprise. With a flick of his wrist, he drew it into his hand, gave it a glance, then sent it into the spatial rift as well.
Just then, the white-haired youth came to his senses. Dazed, he stared at the newcomer—Li Hao.
It didn’t take long for him to realize—this was that guy with the shortest soul lifespan!
"Be careful out there."
Li Hao glanced at the white-haired youth, gave a casual wave, then turned and vanished.
The white-haired youth froze. Watching the distant figure teleport thousands of miles away, he finally snapped back to reality. He had been saved. And his savior... was the very youth with the shortest soul lifespan.
"What’s his name again? I think... Haotian?"
He murmured, silently committing the name to memory.
At the same time, somewhere else in the void—
Boom!
