Chapter 364: Nine Sequences Revealed, True Power Unleashed - Part 3
This technique could suppress all celestial arts.
However, as Forbidden Void activated, a flicker of violet light wrapped around Shen Wuji, but the might of his punch remained undiminished.
Li Hao’s expression shifted. That punch was not a celestial art. Even that manifestation of the Ancient God Descent didn’t seem like a celestial art—or rather, it was a power that even Forbidden Void could not suppress.
With a loud bang.
Li Hao raised his hand to take the punch head-on. He felt the bones in his arm crack like shattering glass and was sent flying backward.
“Sealing-type celestial art?”
Shen Wuji glanced at the violet glow curling around his body, sensing the suppressive power within. Yet his eyes narrowed coldly and he sneered. “Sorry, but our Ancient God Clan is immune to such things!”
As he spoke, he closed in to kill again. His footwork thundered, and his figure was blindingly fast.
Li Hao’s figure blurred and once again split into myriad shadows. But Shen Wuji seemed capable of locking onto his true body, lunging straight for his real form.
Li Hao took a deep breath. Facing the terrifying aura coming at him, he didn’t retreat. Instead, he activated two of the Ten Supreme Celestial Arts.
Source of Water—Return to Light!
Source of Earth—No Wounds!
A mysterious glow of black and yellow enveloped him. Li Hao did not retreat but instead took a half-step forward, fists clenched.
Facing Shen Wuji's onrushing form, he didn’t dodge but answered with a punch of his own—fist versus fist!
Shen Wuji let out a long howl. His Golden God Fist came crashing down. The two fists collided like the tolling of a great bell echoing through the heavens.
“Haotian…”
The Great Dream Master was briefly stunned. Shen Wuji, in the state of Ancient God Descent, had terrifying combat strength—ordinary True Immortals couldn’t even withstand a single finger. She had urged Li Hao to evade using Myriad Shadows, and had he gone all out to dodge, he might have survived this ordeal.
After all, Li Hao had the All-Heavens Star Vein. As long as he wasn’t killed instantly, he could tear open space and escape.
But she hadn’t expected Li Hao to go head-to-head.
“Foolish!”
“To think he dared trade fists with the young master.”
An elder of the Ancient God Clan shook his head at the sight.
But the next moment, his expression changed.
Floating in the void, Li Hao hadn’t been blown away. He stood his ground without budging an inch. Instead, it was Shen Wuji who staggered back two full steps.
In Shen Wuji’s eyes, disbelief flickered. A clash of raw strength—and he lost?
He quickly noticed the mysterious black-and-yellow glow around Li Hao’s body and his face darkened. He realized it was a powerful celestial art.
“What is that?”
For the first time, a cold glint filled his gaze. Never before had he been so thoroughly repelled.
Li Hao, naturally, didn’t answer. The Source of Earth: No Wounds technique allowed him to endure one attack. As long as the strike didn’t exceed the limits of the True Immortal Realm, he could withstand it. Even a third-level Immortal Lord would be stopped; only an Immortal Lord at the fifth level could break this technique and injure him.
And Shen Wuji’s retreat just now came not only from the force of Li Hao’s blow but also the recoil from his own punch.
Whoosh!
Li Hao controlled his Myriad Shadows, attacking Shen Wuji from all directions.
The fact that Shen Wuji could see through Myriad Shadows meant he had mastered another secret art. But cultivating any such technique to a level that could pierce the veil of Myriad Shadows would have required considerable time.
Among top talents, few had clear weaknesses. If it were any other True Immortal, Li Hao’s Myriad Shadows alone would have been enough to kill them effortlessly.
As ten thousand images of Li Hao surged in, Shen Wuji’s face twisted in fury. His eyes flared with wrath. Suddenly, he raised his hand, and from deep within his chest, his fist intent erupted. A golden phantom appeared along his arm and solidified into a colossal fist.
He swung violently, aiming to erase all of Li Hao’s afterimages in one sweeping blow.
But in that instant, all the shadows unleashed Source of Earth: No Wounds and Source of Water: Return to Light—both among the Ten Supreme Celestial Arts, comparable to Azure Sky in power.
The sweeping punch passed through—but countless shadows still remained. Tens of thousands of fists came crashing down on Shen Wuji, blasting him backward.
Back on the distant Divine Mountain of the Ancient God Clan, all fell into stunned silence.
Everyone had been watching Shen Wuji’s battle. Though they had noted Li Hao’s earlier performance, no one believed Shen Wuji would lose. Yet now, even after invoking Ancient God Descent, he was being suppressed by Li Hao!
“Three… no, four celestial arts. All of them ancient, long-lost, forbidden Heaven-Calamity Arts!”
“Who is this youth? Could he be… no, impossible. If he really were, coming here would be suicide.”
Several ancient elders on the mountain whispered, suspicion and alarm in their eyes.
On the Imperial Platform, Li Hao controlled his Myriad Shadows, each one channeling invincible fist momentum, enclosing Shen Wuji in a barrage of blows.
Fist shadows rained down.
Shen Wuji’s body trembled with each impact, spewing golden blood. His figure became disheveled and wild-haired. He kept fending off the attacks but continued to be forced back.
Spectators outside the Imperial Platform were all struck dumb.
No one could’ve predicted this: Shen Wuji, who had been dominating all the way here, was now being crushed by Li Hao.
Whoosh!
Li Hao’s true body unleashed the Azure Sky Sword Art, joining in with the sea of fists. Empowered by the All-Heavens Star Vein, he could afford to lavish his celestial power at will. Otherwise, just that one use of Myriad Shadows Time Freeze earlier would have drained nearly half his reserves—and he’d already be running on empty by now.
“Bastard!!”
