Volume 3 - Chapter 377: Blood on the Imperial Platform - Part 2
"That's the embryonic form of the Celestial Star Meridian!"
"What terrifying immortal power—that must be the Immortal Lord realm. No way a True Immortal could withstand that."
"Feels like he could suppress any other True Immortal with just a flick of his finger."
"More than that—any ordinary Immortal Lord could effortlessly slay a True Immortal prodigy. How many in this world can truly defy such a gap in realm and battle an Immortal Lord?"
"Exactly. Crossing such a major cultivation boundary is nearly impossible unless you're monstrously gifted."
"That's not even the scariest part. What's truly terrifying is that immortal weapon in his hand! An Immortal Lord wielding a top-tier immortal weapon—I'd wager even someone at the sixth or seventh layer of the Immortal Lord realm might fall before him!"
"That’s definitely possible. After all, anyone taking part in the Southern Region Convergence is already someone who crushes peers in their own realm."
Within the immortal cities of various celestial dynasties in the Southern Region, countless cultivators were left in awe, voices rising in discussion. Even some of the elder relics from hidden blessed lands were slapping their thighs in regret, voicing their discontent toward the sovereign who sat alone in the heavens, looking down on all beings.
How could such a monster be allowed to perish? The Ancient Demon Calamity could descend at any moment! If the ten races of ancient demons united, the True World would once again face a cataclysmic reckoning!
"Damn it! Using higher cultivation to bully others—how can someone be so despicable!"
Atop a mountain peak, Shen Wuji clenched his fists, fury blazing in his eyes. He was itching to jump in and aid Li Hao.
But just as he made to act, Qing Bo—his lifelong attendant—stopped him with a solemn warning: this matter was beyond the god race’s jurisdiction. Intervening would bring massive trouble.
Shen Wuji, though defeated by Li Hao before, held no resentment. On the contrary, witnessing a prodigy who had bested him now being so humiliated stirred an uncontainable rage within him.
Yet in this moment, he could clearly feel just how powerless the True Immortal realm was. If only he were at the Immortal Lord realm now, he would stand up for Li Hao himself—crushing those scum underfoot.
If they were of the same realm, he was certain he wouldn’t lose to such trash.
"What a shame."
Elsewhere, Gui Lingshuang of the ghost clan narrowed her eyes, a flicker of regret crossing her pitch-black pupils.
Beside her, Gui Lingyue wore an angry expression. Though she had no particular fondness for Li Hao, she knew this was a deeply unfair battle.
Boom!
On the imperial platform, Jin Fengling erupted with golden divine radiance. Beyond just immortal power, he also unveiled the power of the Gold Dao origin. His Eternal Domain expanded into a gleaming field of golden brilliance!
The peak of the fifth stage Gold Dao origin was now fully revealed. Jin Fengling wanted to prove he wasn’t merely relying on his immortal weapon to suppress Li Hao—he also wanted to use this chance to show the entire Southern Region his own strength.
With the display of Gold Dao origin, the other Immortal Lord realm contestants on the mountain top also sharpened their gaze slightly.
Gold Dao origin at stage five—this was no trivial matter.
After all, reaching stage six like that supreme sovereign’s personal disciple—and still being a True Immortal—was already a defiance of the heavens.
But even within stage five, it all came down to how one wielded it. Earlier, Li Hao had only reached stage four in Sword Dao, yet with his Imperial Path Sword Technique, he had severed the Sword Dao Heart of someone already at stage six.
"Come into my demon sword and keep company with ancient demon remnants!"
Jin Fengling sneered coldly. Killing intent surged in his eyes. He stepped forward, his elite movement technique bursting into motion, piercing space in ten directions.
This was the pinnacle movement technique of the Jin Dynasty, requiring mastery of spatial origin at stage four to even cultivate. Jin Fengling had already perfected it. The space around him blurred, and nine points all seemed to connect to Li Hao simultaneously—making it impossible to perceive or predict from where the killing strike would come.
These nine points demanded a high level of sensory perception just to faintly detect.
Boom!
Almost instantly, he arrived before Li Hao. The speed was mind-boggling, causing the pupils of countless spectators to shrink. Even many Immortal Lords cried out in shock.
At the same time, Li Hao’s Ninefold Eternal Domain rose around him—but the moment it formed, it was invaded. Razor-sharp Gold Dao origin surged forth, exceeding the realm Li Hao could control, and pierced directly into his domain via his own Gold Dao thread.
Following that came a frigid sword qi—piercing, sweeping, as if it had lain dormant for a hundred thousand years before descending upon him.
That sword qi carried a dreadful demonic pressure, as though countless ancient demons were wailing within it, producing soul-shaking resonance.
Even one who had surpassed the Nascent Soul limit would find themselves momentarily dazed before this demon sword, which had devoured countless ancient demon souls.
Li Hao raised his eyes. His gaze was like that of a deep sea abyss—dark, devoid of light, but filled with a killing intent so intense it could not be stared at directly.
Draw the sword!
In the vast expanse of heaven and earth, a sudden roar erupted.
The Taowu Immortal Weapon, dormant in the imperial hall for a hundred thousand years, now surged with overwhelming ferocity!
Upon its blade, the image of the ancient Taowu beast emerged. Though still in its juvenile form, its ferocious stance already radiated soul-piercing might.
Of all the immortal weapons, Li Hao had chosen this one precisely because of its savagery—because it would even turn on its master!
"All my immortal power—take it. I only want... to kill!"
Li Hao murmured coldly in his heart.
