Chapter 353: Suppression of the Imperial Stage - Part 1
“Haotian Shixiong (Shidi)!”
Yuexi and the others watched in shock as this scene unfolded. They had seen Li Hao's sword before, its sharpness unparalleled, but they never imagined that his fist now was even more terrifying than the sword techniques he had shown earlier!
With this punch, Li Hao sent the Yun Jin royal family and the other four flying backward, their bodies riddled with cracks. The previously suppressed Law of Death spread across his body in an instant. The once-proud heroes, each a dazzling figure, were now left haggard, their bodies decaying as though they had been turned from celestial beings into demonic, rotting corpses with a single punch.
“Top ten extreme realms, two ultimate realms—truly a top-tier prodigy!”
A cultivator from another immortal dynasty whispered, his expression grave.
Such a peerless prodigy appearing at the Southern Domain's top Imperial Stage battle both amazed and yet seemed almost inevitable.
“Prodigies from the ten extreme realms are already rare in a millennium. Several of them have appeared on other imperial stages, but this time, so many prodigies have appeared at once!”
“His fist techniques themselves aren't particularly remarkable, but they integrate the essence of other Dao sources, boosting the power of the punches exponentially!”
Someone else observed that Li Hao’s fist technique was rather ordinary by the standards of top prodigies. But when fused with the power of time and space, and compressed with the terrifying energy of the extreme realms, it was as though plain white rice was paired with a banquet—no matter how you look at it, it was top-tier!
“How is this possible?!”
Jin Ziyin glared at Li Hao in anger. His immortal body was covered in cracks, though he too had a top-tier immortal body, comparable to Li Hao’s ancient immortal body. However, his cultivation was not yet complete.
After all, even the strongest immortal bodies required immense comprehension and rare natural treasures to cultivate fully.
Now, his body was surrounded by a greenish glow. His once-handsome face, which could make any man swoon, was now cracked, his hair turning gray, exuding a sense of decay.
“Don’t hold back! If we can’t take him down, we won’t even make it into the top hundred, let alone compete for the rankings after this!”
Jin Ziyin's eyes turned cold, and his voice turned harsh.
He didn't need to say it—the others had already realized that Li Hao was a tough nut to crack. If they didn't get serious now, it would be hard to defeat him.
Previously, they had kept some of their trump cards, hoping to save them for the battles later. After all, if they used all their strength here, their chances in the upcoming top hundred battles would be slim.
But now, they had no choice but to put everything into this fight.
“Nine-turn Sword Venerable Dao!”
The young man with the Nine-Flower Immortal Seal's expression turned serious. His body quickly healed, the cracks and aging receding as his immortal energy was forcibly suppressed. A piercing sword intent erupted from his body as he raised his hand. His sword intent was no less fearsome than Gu Yan's earlier sword, when he fought against Jin Yushu.
Seeing the sword intent, Gu Yan’s eyes grew cold. He had initially thought his swordsmanship was superior among this group of prodigies, but now he realized that this man’s sword techniques were just as formidable.
Still, he could tell this Nine-Flower Immortal Seal youth had the potential to break into the top hundred, possibly even pushing for the top twenty!
With his Nine-Flower Immortal Seal glowing brightly on his forehead, brilliant like celestial rays, nine profound intents appeared behind him. These intents converged into his sword Qi as he raised his sword, his eyes full of murderous intent.
“Let’s see whether your fist is stronger or my sword!”
Li Hao’s display had ignited the youth’s fighting spirit. He even considered challenging Li Hao to a one-on-one duel.
Whoosh!
In an instant, he rushed forward, his sword and the celestial law formed by his body following behind. He swung his giant sword toward Li Hao’s law body with a thunderous crash.
Li Hao looked at him disdainfully. His golden hair flew wildly, and his eyes resembled cold stars—his expression unshaken.
With every step, the Imperial Stage beneath his feet shook violently, and a tremor rang through the hearts of everyone present. The overwhelming aura of invincibility spread from his feet, and in this half-step world of his, he seemed capable of facing thousands of troops, his gaze sweeping over the entire Imperial Stage!
Those waiting outside the Imperial Stage for their chance to enter were stunned by the aura. Their faces turned pale, unable to believe their eyes.
Boom!
With a roar, Li Hao's invincible punch shattered the sky, charging headlong into the sword Qi of the Nine-Flower Immortal Seal.
In the blink of an eye, a terrifying sword intent exploded. But before the sword intent could even spread, it was crushed by the all-consuming punch that raged through the skies!
Poof!
The Nine-Flower Immortal Seal youth spat blood, his white clothes stained red as he was sent flying, his eyes filled with rage and disbelief.
He was the wielder of the Nine-Flower Immortal Seal, and by the increase in power from the seal, even if Li Hao had an eight-flower seal, his immortal energy should have been at least twice his own!
That kind of difference was enough to crush him!
Even with other immortal arts and secret techniques to compensate, it was still difficult to erase such a disparity. After all, his swordsmanship and other arts were top-tier!
Yet now, he had been completely overpowered!
Staring at the Nine-Flower Immortal Seal youth, who had been sent crashing to the edge of the Imperial Stage, Li Hao glanced at him indifferently, as though dismissing him completely. He then turned and faced the remaining eight opponents, stepping forward with confidence.
“How could this be?”
Jin Ziyin and the others looked in shock at the youth with the Nine-Flower Immortal Seal being knocked out in a single blow. Their expressions shifted. That sword's might was incredibly terrifying. If they hadn’t been working together, they would have struggled greatly, just like the youth had been defeated in an instant.
This young man, who only had a hundred years of soul lifespan, how could he be so terrifying?!
“Kill!”
