"Let's go, don't let them down, don't be a burden to Venerable Haotian!"
The Supreme Sage of the School of Names watched Li Hao fiercely battling the True Immortal Ancient Demon, his face grim. He hadn't expected that in the end, it would be this young man before them who would shoulder everything.
He gritted his teeth, ordering the Sages to retreat and flee. Continuing to stay here was meaningless. On the contrary, if they survived, perhaps they could think of another way, fight one more time, even though the hope was extremely slim, but there was hope in living.
The Supreme Sage of Yin Yang and the Supreme Sage of Mo and the others also realized this point. Staying here would only mean dying alongside Li Hao, unable to help at all.
Although there was the Military Sage's army formation, which could provide Li Hao with considerable assistance, under the Ancient Demon Immortal Domain's shroud, those within the formation couldn't withstand it and would crumble in an instant.
"If it's to face death, I'll stay and fight alongside Venerable Haotian to the very end!"
"Since death is inevitable, I am willing to die for the Heavens!"
Among the hundreds of Sages, some stepped forward with agitated expressions. Witnessing Ancestor Yuan and the Divine King covering their retreat, and even a being like the Divine King could fight for the Heavens, let alone Li Hao, who had been wronged by them and was the least deserving of injury in this catastrophe, now fighting desperately. They felt that if they escaped, they wouldn't be able to face their own hearts.
If a Sage couldn't face themselves, they also couldn't face their own Sacred Path, and everything would collapse.
Seeing this, the Sage of Names couldn't help but roar, "Go! Don't be a burden to Venerable Haotian! You staying is meaningless! Living in disgrace takes more courage than dying heroically!"
"Only by living is there hope!"
The Sage of Law also said in a deep voice.
Those Sages who were willing to stay and fight to the death suddenly had complex and ugly expressions.
But their Sage's rationality prevented them from denying the Sage of Names' words. The gap between them and a True Immortal was too vast. Even burning their own primordial spirits might not cause the True Immortal Ancient Demon the slightest harm.
Tragic, despairing!
The Sage of Names roared and charged towards the distance, deliberately creating a huge sound and commotion.
If that True Immortal Ancient Demon came to chase him, he would certainly die, but in that case, Li Hao might survive, buying time for Li Hao.
It was a pity that with such a heroic and tragic heart, the True Immortal Ancient Demon, who was constantly dodging Li Hao's attacks, simply had no intention of paying attention to anyone else.
To it, only the human Sage before it posed a real threat. The rest were just insects that could be exterminated at will, and it could deal with them anytime.
The Sage of Law, the Supreme Sage of Yin Yang, and others also fled in different directions to avoid being rounded up by the True Immortal Ancient Demon.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Figures of Sages scattered and fled, like shooting stars dispersing, and soon disappeared from this place.
In an instant, only Li Hao and the True Immortal Ancient Demon remained in this void.
Two incomplete immortal swords howled and stabbed, causing terrifying sonic booms and void rifts. The void was almost torn into darkness, completely disappearing and falling into spatial turbulence.
Roar!
After continuously dodging, the True Immortal Ancient Demon saw that Li Hao seemed to have inexhaustible energy. It couldn't help but roar angrily. Ignoring the incomplete immortal swords' stabbing attacks, it fiercely used its Immortal Domain to suppress Li Hao, and at the same time, flung out a sharp tail spike.
Its tail spike severed the void, causing the Great Dao laws in the void to become ineffective, directly piercing through Li Hao's Eternal Dao Domain, and penetrating Li Hao's chest.
Li Hao couldn't dodge. Under the opponent's Immortal Domain, his Ninth Stage Body Technique was simply not enough to see, and the Guixu Realm would also be detected by the opponent. He could only take this blow head-on.
But while the opponent attacked, the two incomplete immortal swords stabbed at full speed, instantly creating hundreds of scratch marks on the True Immortal Ancient Demon's body.
A terrifying aura, like something crawling up from the abyss, like a soul-reaping ghost god, made the True Immortal Ancient Demon instantly feel the previous terrifying sensation again, sending chills down its spine and making its back cold. It roared in its heart, not expecting that this attack could really appear again.
It hurriedly protected its physical body and once again used the power to defy fate, changing its primordial spirit aura.
Boom!
The exploding flesh and blood splattered everywhere, but suspended in the void, not falling.
Only a small amount fell, disappearing into the bottom of the Heavens, the Nine Nether Abyss.
Seeing the opponent repeat the same trick, a light flashed in Li Hao's eyes. He once again took out an incomplete immortal sword, concentrating all his primordial spirit power on it. The primordial spirit power he had burned earlier had been exhausted. He burned five more golden meridians again, recalling the two incomplete immortal swords to his side. Then, the newly taken-out immortal sword shot out.
Among the scattered flesh and blood, the True Immortal Ancient Demon's body was condensing within. Just as the wriggling condensing flesh and blood were about to close, and its true form was about to recover, the incomplete immortal sword stabbed over fiercely.
Puff puff puff puff!
The incomplete immortal sword pierced through its body, rampaging and wreaking havoc within, instantly causing large areas of necrosis, and even shattering more than three hundred bones.
"Sword Dao of Self!"
Li Hao pushed his Sword Intent to the extreme. With the help of the Sword Dao, the sword's edge became sharper and faster. With a boom, when only ten bones were left, the True Immortal Ancient Demon roared, using its self-healing power to repair the damaged physical body.
In the blink of an eye, the wounds all over its body were completely healed. A trace of pain flashed in Li Hao's eyes. Just a little bit more.
If his Sword Dao could be raised to the Tenth Stage, perhaps he could have severed it!
The True Immortal Ancient Demon glared at Li Hao ferociously. Cunning and experienced from participating in the Emperor's Fall Era war, it had already seen that Li Hao might launch an attack during the gap of its self-destruction and rebirth. Therefore, it had been on guard, integrating its Immortal Domain into itself, making up for the weakness in the rebirth gap.
The young man before it, so stubbornly using the same move, made it faintly realize that the opponent seemed to have a way to kill it in his hands. It was just that this method was currently failing.
Whoosh!
Its Immortal Domain vibrated and spread out, about to kill Li Hao again.
Li Hao's expression changed slightly. He immediately controlled the two incomplete immortal swords and continued to stab at the opponent's body.
The True Immortal Ancient Demon had no choice but to stop and dodge the sharp attacks when it saw this.
Li Hao kept attacking, no longer harboring hope of killing it. At this moment, he only wanted to prolong the battle and buy more time for the Holy Lands to unite with the Nine Provinces Immortal Islands and evacuate to the Divine Sun to take refuge.
As Li Hao continued to attack, the True Immortal Ancient Demon was also quickly dodging. Every time he was about to strike, the sharp edge of the incomplete immortal sword would accelerate, forcing it to continuously parry.
In its heart, it hated the young man before it to the point of grinding its teeth. It decided that when Li Hao was exhausted, it would definitely make him wish he were dead!
This battle eventually turned into a protracted war, which was what Li Hao least wanted. Fortunately, with the Celestial Star Vein, his energy was endless. However, controlling the incomplete immortal swords consumed primordial spirit power. Li Hao didn't know how long his primordial spirit could last.
The battle continued.
Ten minutes, an hour, four or five hours.
The intense sonic booms resounded continuously in the void.
On the other side, the Sages had already fled from this place.
After scattering and fleeing, they contacted each other through hand talismans, quickly confirming everyone's location.
Now that Ancestor Yuan and the Divine King had fallen, and Li Hao was also in a bitter fight at the rear, the Sage of Names and other Supreme Sages became the leaders of the Sages.
"Now that things have come to this, you all go to Venerable Haotian's Holy Land to take refuge first. I will go find Sage Mitian of the Mitian Heaven to see if he has any ideas." The Sage of Names made arrangements.
"I'll go find the nine Island Lords of the Nine Provinces Immortal Islands. I've long heard that their immortal islands are mysterious, treasures left by immortals and gods. I wonder if they have any effect and can injure this True Immortal Ancient Demon." The Sage of Law said, but in his heart, he didn't hold much hope. After all, for such a great ancient demon catastrophe, the Nine Provinces Immortal Islands must have already known about it. If those immortal and divine treasures were truly useful, they would have contacted them long ago.
Under such a catastrophe, he didn't believe the Nine Provinces Immortal Islands would be so muddleheaded and just watch the catastrophe sweep through the Heavens.
"I'll think again about whether the army formation can be improved and upgraded."
The Military Sage said in a deep voice. He used to do this kind of thing secretly, not daring to expose it to avoid attracting disaster, which also led to slow progress in his own research. But now, he no longer needed to worry about these things. However, the time left for them seemed to be running out.
"Go, everyone go and think of a way!"
The Sage of Names said.
The Sages were all in heavy moods. Although Li Hao was covering their retreat, death could come at any time. Enveloped by such desperation, they were all racking their brains to think about how to find hope.
Soon, the Sages arrived at Li Hao's Holy Land.
At this time, the Holy Land was bustling with noise and people, extremely noisy. The entire Holy Land was packed with people.
"Why are you here?"
Feng Boping had just transferred half of the Great Yu Divine Dynasty's people over, and the Holy Land was already full. He planned to send the rest to the Nine Provinces Immortal Islands, where there was still space available.
At this moment, feeling the aura of many Sages, he quickly rushed out of the Holy Land. When he saw the Sages, he couldn't help but be shocked.
Immediately, his gaze rapidly swept across, but he didn't see that dazzling figure. He wanted to look again carefully, but his heart had already turned cold.
That figure was too dazzling and eye-catching. Even if he stood among thousands of people, without deliberately looking, he would be noticed at a glance. But now, he couldn't find him.
"Where's Venerable Haotian?!"
Feng Boping couldn't help but roar angrily.
Li Hao went to receive them, but they were back, and Li Hao wasn't!
"It's a True Immortal level Ancient Demon. Venerable Haotian is covering our retreat, and hasn't returned yet. Ancestor Yuan and the Divine King also sacrificed themselves covering the retreat…"
The Supreme Sage of Yin Yang explained in a low voice. Facing Feng Boping's roar, if it were in the past, a Tribulation Saint daring to roar in his face like this would definitely be punished by him. But at this moment, he could understand the other's feelings.
"Covering the retreat…"
Feng Boping's body shook, and then his eyes instantly turned red. Although he had been in Mitian Heaven in deep slumber, he had heard about everything after coming out.
"You created this disaster, how could you let him cover the retreat!"
"You, you are simply not worthy of being called Sages!"
Feng Boping pointed his finger like thousands of accusations, saying angrily.
Looking at him like an old but furious lion, the Sages all had ugly expressions, but did not retort.
"You reversed black and white, smeared him, and in the end, he still came to clean up your mess for you, how can you be at ease!"
Feng Boping roared almost out of control.
His heart, however, was filled with sadness.
That child, he hadn't changed at all, the kindness engraved in his bones since childhood.
In their time together in the mortal realm, he had long seen Li Hao's true nature, otherwise, why would he have followed him all the way just for the shared hobby of fishing, not hesitating to shield him from the prying eyes of demons and monsters when he stepped out of that Divine General's manor?
Feng Boping's roar spread out over the Holy Land, like thunder. Many people in the Holy Land also rushed out, saw this scene, and heard Feng Boping's words.
Many people were stunned, the color draining from their faces.
In the crowd, Lin Qing'er swayed, almost unable to stand. She had already condensed the prototype of her Sacred Path. As a Half-Sage, she now had a dizzying sensation as if her brain was buzzing.
Ji Xuan and others all had dry throats, somewhat lost.
Besides them, Chi Guang, Lin Shuhai, the Holy Son Haoyue, and others were also here, their eyes filled with shock. Was that invincible monstrous youth going to fall here?
The figure of that young man, even for them as contemporary competitors, only left them with admiration and sighs from the bottom of their hearts. Now, the opponent had already reached the peak of the mountain, but was about to fall from the peak and be destroyed.
Besides them, Zhan Tan and others from the Flower Viewing Society also felt sadness.
"Since he's not here, what are you doing here?"
Saintess Huangtian looked coldly at the Sages. She also felt sad in her heart about Li Hao's decision, but at the same time, it made her impression of the young man even deeper.
The Supreme Sage of Mo sighed and said bitterly, "We are powerless to help Venerable Haotian. We have come here to take refuge, and also hoping to concentrate our strength to think of a way. Don't misunderstand, we are definitely not fleeing from battle. If we can kill that True Immortal Ancient Demon, even if I am crushed to pieces and unable to reincarnate, I am willing to be the first to step forward!"
"That's right, I am also willing."
The Sages said one after another.
"We were wrong before. Now a big mistake has been made, and we no longer expect forgiveness. Whether we are forgiven or not is meaningless. Now we only want to preserve the sparks of civilization and let more people survive."
A Sage said.
"That's right, now Venerable Haotian is covering our retreat, fighting to the death with that True Immortal Ancient Demon. Although we are willing to die alongside him, it is meaningless. If you don't believe us, if that True Immortal Ancient Demon chases after us, we are willing to fight to the death! I swear on my Sacred Path!"
"I know your feelings, but the urgent matter now is to think of a way. We cannot let them down."
The Supreme Sage of Yin Yang gazed at Feng Boping and others, and said in a deep voice, "Venerable Haotian is covering our retreat, both for us and for you. He may fall at any moment, and that True Immortal Ancient Demon may come to kill us at any time. Let's not waste time. After finding a place to take refuge, you can scold us however you want, but please take action now!"
Feng Boping's fists clenched, cracking. He really wanted to punch the other person in the face, but he knew that the other person was right. They were able to survive to this point, it must be because Li Hao covered their retreat.
Even Li Hao had put aside his grievances and considered the overall situation. He couldn't let that child down at this time.
The Healing Sage and Sage Mitian's eyes flickered. Although they blamed them in their hearts, they also knew that the Supreme Sage of Yin Yang was right. Moreover, with their current strength, without Venerable Haotian guarding this place, they couldn't stop them if they wanted to use force.
The two looked at Feng Boping. Feng Boping gritted his teeth and said, "Then hurry up and do things. We will unite with the Nine Provinces Immortal Islands to take refuge. Originally, Haotian was to be the leader. He would use his primordial spirit power to shroud the Holy Land to avoid the Ancient Demon's detection. But now, it's a True Immortal level Ancient Demon that has come. We can only pin our hopes on the immortal and divine ruins of the Nine Provinces Immortal Islands being able to isolate it."
Hearing his words, the Sages also realized that taking refuge was also extremely difficult.
But they were all silent, saying nothing.
"Let's go, to the Nine Provinces Immortal Islands to meet up!"
The Healing Sage said.
Feng Boping nodded, then looked at the Sages and said, "Come and help, let's activate the Holy Land together, and hurry over."
When the Sages heard this, they immediately took action, feeling a sense of relief in their hearts.
But the heavy shadow of death pressing down in their hearts still weighed heavily on the Sages. It was just slightly better than before.
Soon, with the help of the Sages, a void channel was constructed in the void, capable of easily spanning millions of miles.
The Holy Land moved in the channel. In less than a minute, it was transferred to the location of the Nine Provinces Immortal Islands.
And the Holy Land was protected by the domains cast by the Sages, so even such intense transfer didn't cause any impact on the people in the Holy Land. Otherwise, ordinary people without cultivation would have long been torn apart by the void.
In the Nine Provinces Immortal Islands, the Sage of Law had already arrived here in advance, explaining the situation and projecting the previous battle.
The nine Island Lords of the Nine Provinces Immortal Islands were all ancient demon kings with extremely long lifespans, who had long since transformed into Sages. Seeing the projection of the Sages cooperating with Li Hao in fierce battle, although it seemed to suppress the True Immortal Ancient Demon, in reality, they were in a desperate situation.
After all, the True Immortal Ancient Demon could not be killed, and its recovery power far exceeded theirs. In the end, it was bound to be them who died.
"Haotian…"
Master Fox's face was pale, and many memories of the mortal realm surfaced. She hadn't expected that she wouldn't even have time to repay her gratitude before it was already such a situation.
As the Sages arrived, the Island Lords also accepted this reality. Only Master Fox felt heartache, but with the overall situation taking precedence, she still acquiesced to the opinions of the other eight Island Lords and, after some discussion, led the Sages to their most mysterious immortal and divine ruins.
It was a Divine Immortal Cave Mansion, and it was relatively well-preserved.
Although called a cave mansion, it was actually similar to a divine palace, but the space inside was huge enough to accommodate the Nine Provinces Immortal Islands, and also Li Hao's constructed Holy Land.
As the Divine Immortal Ruins were taken out, the nine Island Lords sent the nine islands of the Nine Provinces Immortal Islands into the Divine Immortal Ruins separately, and then included Li Hao's Holy Land as well.
After doing all this, Feng Boping saw that there was still space in each immortal island, and immediately discussed with them about bringing the remaining people of Great Yu over.
"With the remaining space, we can bring in those in the Listening to Dao Realm from the Heavens. They are more valuable to survival than ordinary people."
Hearing Feng Boping's words, the Sage of Law said.
Feng Boping looked at him with icy eyes and said, "This is Haotian's intention. If you want to talk about value, he is more valuable to survival than all of you combined, but what about now?!"
The Sage of Law was at a loss for words and didn't speak anymore.
The Supreme Sage of Mo sighed and said, "Whether it's those in the Listening to Dao Realm or ordinary people, they are all lives. We have been able to survive to this day because of Haotian's protection. This is Haotian's wish, so let's do as Thief Sage says. Besides, we don't even know if we can escape that True Immortal Ancient Demon by taking refuge this time."
Master Fox was the first to express her stance, agreeing to Feng Boping. After the other Island Lords also successively agreed, she tore through the void with Feng Boping to transfer the people from Great Yu over.
Ancestor Jiang also tore through the void to go and help.
With the cooperation of several Sages, it only took half a stick of incense worth of time to transfer all the people over.
"Go, to the Divine Sun!"
After filling the Divine Immortal Ruins, everyone set off for the previously planned Divine Sun refuge.
Only then did the Sages learn that the refuge was actually on the Divine Sun. The role of this Divine Immortal Ruins was mainly to resist the Great Dao power and law erosion of the Divine Sun.
That Divine Sun was a real star, incomparably blazing, filled with chaotic, disordered destructive power. Even Sages would feel uncomfortable approaching it and couldn't stay for long.
As the Divine Immortal Ruins approached the Divine Sun, the scorching light gradually became blinding. Waves of terrifying destructive power swept over, but were blocked by the Divine Immortal Ruins.
Soon, the Sages steered the Divine Immortal Ruins and arrived in front of the Divine Sun, landing on this star that was red all over.
The surface of the star was surging golden magma, and dark black patches would occasionally rise within it.
If they didn't want to be detected by the True Immortal Ancient Demon, they could only dive into the Divine Sun.
The Divine Immortal Ruins, under the control of the nine Island Lords, landed on the Divine Sun and sank into the blazing magma. The destructive power around them was dozens of times stronger than before, completely enveloping the Divine Immortal Ruins.
The people in the Divine Immortal Ruins all felt the air suddenly become scorching hot, and a sense of dryness all over their bodies.
"Not good, destructive power is entering the cave mansion."
"Quickly, block it!"
As the Divine Immortal Ruins sank, the destructive power in the Divine Sun also seeped in. This power was something even Sages had to deal with cautiously. If it fell on the Holy Land or immortal islands, it would cause massive casualties.
The Sages quickly took action, casting domains and barriers, shrouding the immortal islands and Holy Land.
The scorching sensation immediately subsided. The destructive power of the Divine Sun was slowly eroding the Sages' domains and barriers.
This Divine Immortal Cave Mansion was incomplete and couldn't completely isolate the Divine Sun's erosion. Fortunately, the remaining gaps could be blocked by the joint efforts of the Sages.
"At this rate, I feel it can at most last for ten years before we are exhausted."
The Sage of Names, who had gone to Mitian Heaven to find Sage Mitian without success, contacted the Sage of Law and others, and came to this place together. He observed for a moment and calculated the consumption.
"There is no天地 energy around this Divine Sun. Even天地 power is burned and destroyed. It is an absolute domain of death. Cultivation is impossible here. Taking refuge here can only allow us to comprehend our states of mind, but we cannot improve our realm cultivation. Ten years, only a short ten years. If that Ancient Demon slaughters the Heavens, it is impossible for it to withdraw from this world in just ten years."
The Supreme Sage of Yin Yang said in a low voice.
This refuge could only barely extend their lives by ten years. How short.
"Although this place is not good, it just happens to be a very good hiding place. That Ancient Demon definitely won't think that we would hide here. Even if it does, it won't come to explore carefully."
The Sage of Mo pondered and said, "Ten years later, we can sneak out to explore the situation outside, replenish our strength, and then come back to continue hiding."
"We can only do this. We don't even know what the situation is outside now. The Qianluo Palace has disappeared. I went to look for it, but it has already moved away. It is estimated that they have also gone to take refuge, but they didn't contact us. They probably have their own refuge methods."
An old Third Tribulation Sage sighed and said.
That Qianluo Palace had been secluded from the world for many years. Now that they had sensed the crisis, they were the first to slip away, without even contacting them.
"I wonder how Venerable Haotian is doing. His strength is even more terrifying than we imagined. I have never seen such a strong Sage. I feel he is much stronger than Ancestor Yuan. Perhaps that True Immortal Ancient Demon may not be able to kill him." A Sage said worriedly.
Saintess Huangtian, Sage Mitian, and others were all silent.
Feng Boping's face was gloomy. He found a place to sit down, not in the mood to talk.
Before coming in, he had sent a message through his hand talisman, telling Li Hao that they had taken refuge in the Divine Sun, and urging him to escape as soon as possible, but there was no reply. He didn't know if the message had come too late.
"It will be alright."
Saintess Huangtian found Feng Boping, looked at his gloomy expression, and comforted in a low voice.
Feng Boping was silent, not in the mood to talk.
"I wonder what the situation is outside now. If Venerable Haotian can't hold on, then the Heavens…"
The Sages stood together, and when they thought of the tragic scene outside, they felt countless sins缠身, all caused by the disaster they had created.
"Even hand talisman communication is isolated on this Divine Sun. We are now completely sealed off. Unless we leave the Divine Sun, now we can only wait. Everyone, think of a way, think about whether there are any other ways."
The Sage of Names said to the Sages in a deep voice.
The Sages were all silent. If they could think of a way, they would have thought of it when the Ancient Demon just broke in.
While everyone entered the Divine Sun for refuge.
In the void, Li Hao was still fiercely fighting with the True Immortal Ancient Demon.
Li Hao kept attacking, dragging out time.
The True Immortal Ancient Demon was shocked and furious to see that Li Hao seemed inexhaustible. It had never seen such a persistent human.
After carefully scrutinizing him, it attacked again, swinging its claws to strike at Li Hao's head.
Li Hao's expression changed, and he hurriedly controlled the incomplete immortal swords to stab quickly.
These two incomplete immortal swords had long been chipped and had become even more dilapidated. The damage they could cause to the True Immortal Ancient Demon was extremely limited, only scratching a little skin, but even so, as long as damage was dealt, the Fatal Attribute could be triggered.
Seeing Li Hao accelerate his attack again, the True Immortal Ancient Demon ignored it, directly拍向 Li Hao's head.
Boom, they threatened each other simultaneously.
Li Hao's head exploded. Immortal Dao laws restrained him, and his dripping blood rebirth ability was also bound, unable to heal.
Moreover, the method of dripping blood rebirth, which separates a part of the blood and places it elsewhere, allowing resurrection elsewhere even if he fell here, was no longer useful in front of a True Immortal. If the primordial spirit was annihilated, even if the physical body was perfectly preserved, it would still be a dead corpse.
The primordial spirit was the core.
Li Hao quickly severed his neck, discarding the part eroded by Immortal Dao power, and his head grew out again.
At the same time, the True Immortal Ancient Demon also suffered the attack of the Fatal Attribute. It once again chose to self-destruct, but this time it only self-destructed part of its body, and then transferred the soul-reaping power of the Fatal Attribute.
Li Hao's heart sank when he saw this. This True Immortal Ancient Demon seemed to have found a way to avoid the Fatal Attribute.
Going on like this, the restraining effect of the Fatal Attribute would only become weaker and weaker.
As the True Immortal Ancient Demon regenerated, Li Hao did not try to attack in the gap again. He didn't have many incomplete immortal swords left in his hand. Every attempt would seriously damage an incomplete immortal sword. After all, causing such great damage in one breath, the sword itself would also bear great pressure.
After repeatedly trying and failing, Li Hao had realized that he couldn't kill it.
Now, without the army formation amplification of the Sages, it was even more impossible.
However, while it healed, Li Hao controlled the incomplete immortal sword, and continued to stab at it, trying to make the Fatal Attribute hit it continuously.
It seemed that Li Hao's luck had arrived. As soon as the True Immortal Ancient Demon's physical body had half-condensed, it once again felt the soul-reaping power like a maggot in the bone coming, and it couldn't help but be shocked, and self-destructed and transferred again.
Li Hao took the opportunity to attack again.
Under continuous fierce attacks, the True Immortal Ancient Demon fell into a self-destruction parry, and for a while, it didn't even have the power to fight back.
But after several minutes, Li Hao's luck seemed to run out, and instead, bad luck came. Hundreds of attacks in a row failed to trigger that one percent probability.
The True Immortal Ancient Demon's physical body condensed again. This time it was even more furious than before.
But fortunately, it had already figured out that power. Although it was extremely terrifying, as long as it didn't let it touch it, it could survive.
And after repeated self-destruction and transfer, it had mastered the way to avoid it, no longer as afraid as before.
At this time, as its physical body condensed, black whirlwinds suddenly surged out of its body, surrounding it. In the whirlwind, vast immortal power radiated out. Immediately afterwards, a black lightning bolt continuously condensed.
Li Hao's expression changed, and he hurriedly accelerated his attack.
But the Immortal Domain around the True Immortal Ancient Demon became even tighter than before, and it became extremely difficult for the incomplete immortal sword to pierce into it.
Li Hao saw black smoke and dust burning in the True Immortal Ancient Demon's eyes, as if it was furious to the extreme.
Li Hao suddenly had a bad premonition. The opponent seemed to be using some kind of secret technique to completely kill him.
"Kill!"
Li Hao gave up controlling two incomplete immortal swords, and instead poured his primordial spirit power into one incomplete immortal sword. Soon, it once again broke through the opponent's Immortal Domain and scratched it.
But the attack frequency of one immortal sword was obviously reduced by half. At the same time, the black lightning bolt condensed in front of the True Immortal Ancient Demon radiated terrifying fluctuations. Li Hao had a feeling of his hair standing on end. He sensed the aura of death.
Dodge?
Li Hao thought about escaping, but with his Ninth Stage Body Technique, he simply couldn't escape.
The body technique that Nangong Jian passed to him was an immortal-level battle technique, but Li Hao's body technique comprehension was only barely at the entry level.
"Trigger! Trigger!"
Li Hao stared fixedly at the opponent. As long as he could trigger the Fatal Attribute, he could interrupt the opponent's attack, forcing the opponent to dodge.
The incomplete immortal sword slashed rapidly, but this time, even fate didn't favor him. Hundreds of attacks in a row, none of them triggered!
When he was lucky before, the Fatal Attribute had been triggered in just ten attacks.
Boom!
Without any warning, suddenly, the black lightning bolt condensed to the extreme, arrived in an instant!
In this instant, it reached Li Hao's face and hit Li Hao's body, so fast that it exceeded his reaction speed!
Li Hao's body in the void seemed to be frozen in place.
Then, suddenly, with a boom, it burst open.
The entire huge body completely burst, annihilated by the black lightning, turning into nothingness.
The black lightning bolt was like a blood basin mouth, completely swallowing Li Hao's body!
This time, the True Immortal Ancient Demon still chose to attack Li Hao, and in an instant, it completely destroyed Li Hao's physical body.
The physical body comparable to a Sixth Tribulation Emperor Weapon, without the slightest power to resist.
The void instantly fell into silence.
Only the True Immortal Ancient Demon's slightly panting figure remained. Its scarlet eyes swept around, but suddenly tightened, staring at a place in the void.
Whoosh!
There, a golden light was fleeing at an unimaginable speed, extremely fast.
At the same time, the incomplete immortal sword that had been stabbing at it constantly also chased after it at an even faster speed, about to disappear before its eyes.
Roar!
The True Immortal Ancient Demon roared angrily to the sky. That was the human's primordial spirit! It had shattered its physical body, but the opponent's primordial spirit had escaped!
Escape! Escape! Escape!
In the void, Li Hao's primordial spirit was fleeing at full speed, his heart filled with lingering fear.
At the moment when the attack hit just now, his body simply didn't have time to react, but his primordial spirit reacted, leaving his body in an instant, avoiding that blow!
But his physical body was shattered, completely annihilated, not even a trace of blood left.
Such terrifying methods made Li Hao shudder. Was this the strength of a True Immortal? Coupled with secret techniques, it was far from something a Sage level could withstand.
"Faster, faster!"
Li Hao roared in his heart, golden meridians burning in his primordial spirit, fleeing at an unimaginable speed.
The speed of the primordial spirit was not limited by body techniques, it was the speed of controlling objects. How fast the speed of controlling objects was, how fast the primordial spirit could be.
Several breaths passed, and Li Hao had already shifted ten thousand miles.
In just a moment, he could fly over thousands of miles, as fast as light and electricity.
But just then, Li Hao suddenly felt something chasing behind him.
He looked back, and saw a pitch-black shadow jumping and chasing rapidly in the void, like a nimble fish swimming in the sea. It was actually the True Immortal Ancient Demon, but not its physical body, but its primordial spirit!
The opponent had chosen primordial spirit out-of-body to chase after him.
If it used its physical body, even a True Immortal level being could not catch up with Li Hao's current primordial spirit speed.
After all, after eating Ancient Demons for twelve years on the ancient road, Li Hao's primordial spirit had become extremely terrifying, far exceeding the Primordial Spirit Extreme Realm.
Roar!
The shadow of the True Immortal Ancient Demon was like fleeting light, moving quickly in the void. It used some kind of special primordial spirit secret technique to accelerate its speed, and the distance between it and Li Hao was shortening.
Li Hao's expression changed. This was not a solution to continue. He suddenly turned around, his primordial spirit turning into a sharp blade, slashing towards the opponent at full speed.
The True Immortal Ancient Demon seemed to have not expected that Li Hao would dare to turn back, and was somewhat surprised, but it didn't slow down, roaring and pouncing over.
As an Ancient Demon clan, they lived by devouring souls. In terms of primordial spirit, even True Immortals of the same realm were not their opponents, let alone a mere Sage level.
Boom!
In just an instant, less than one ten-thousandth of a second, their primordial spirits collided.
In the next moment, the True Immortal Ancient Demon let out an angry scream of pain. Its primordial spirit was torn open by Li Hao, creating a gap!
Li Hao looked at the True Immortal Ancient Demon with its primordial spirit injured, and killing intent appeared in his eyes. His previous intention to kill the opponent's physical body was to force out its primordial spirit, and then fight with primordial spirits.
He felt that his primordial spirit power would not be weaker than the True Immortal Ancient Demon's.
At this moment, taking the risk, he had indeed won.
"Die!"
Li Hao turned around, about to kill again.
At this moment, the Ancient Demon primordial spirit burst into flames of raging black mist, radiating waves of terrifying fluctuations.
Li Hao's expression changed. Was this a primordial spirit secret technique?
The opponent's primordial spirit aura suddenly became much stronger. Li Hao realized something was wrong, quickly turned around and continued to flee.
The Ancient Demon primordial spirit roared and chased after Li Hao. Li Hao buried his head and ran wildly, across millions of miles in the void under the illumination of countless stars.
In the end, under the blessing of the primordial spirit secret technique, the Ancient Demon primordial spirit still caught up with Li Hao.
Its primordial spirit turned into a black net, wanting to envelop Li Hao's primordial spirit.
Li Hao burned golden meridians and roared, slashing at the big net.
At this moment of life and death, Li Hao used the Sword Intent of Self and Immortal Guiding the Way on his primordial spirit. With a whoosh, he broke out of the black primordial spirit net and accelerated away.
The Ancient Demon primordial spirit obviously didn't expect that Li Hao could escape. It roared, wanting to chase again, but turning into a big net had slowed down its speed. To accelerate again, its primordial spirit secret technique was about to end. This was extremely消耗 to the primordial spirit. It stopped.
Earlier, Li Hao's turning back and counter-attacking had caused damage to its primordial spirit, which made it somewhat fearful in its heart.
Without its physical body by its side, if its primordial spirit was killed, it would be completely dead.
It felt angry that it actually felt a life-and-death threat from a Sage level being.
Watching Li Hao's primordial spirit escape far away, it gritted its teeth and didn't chase anymore.
Its gaze turned to the void, and it saw small worlds suspended there. In the previous chase, it felt that there were many soul auras in this world, much richer than it had imagined.
If it could devour them all, its injured primordial spirit could recover, and even become more refined.
Whoosh!
It turned around and returned to its physical body. At the same time, the weak primordial spirit power left in its physical body also steered its physical body to meet up with it here.
If Li Hao were to turn back and attack again now, it was also prepared to use its secret technique again.
On the other side, Li Hao fled all the way. Several minutes later, finding that there was no sign of the Ancient Demon primordial spirit behind him, he stopped burning his divine meridians, and his speed slowed down.
"That Ancient Demon primordial spirit, its secret technique should have ended."
Li Hao's eyes flickered, thinking about whether to turn back and kill it.
But he faintly felt that the True Immortal Ancient Demon was extremely cautious. Although it had been furiously chasing just now, it seemed to have retained some power.
After thinking for a long time, Li Hao finally chose to leave first.
Before his physical body was shattered, he had received a message from Old Feng's hand talisman, telling him that they had taken refuge in the Divine Sun.
In this way, Li Hao could also breathe a sigh of relief.
He hid his aura and circled around in the void. After circling for a round, confirming that he was not being tracked, Li Hao then stealthily approached the Divine Sun.
As he continued to ascend, Li Hao arrived in front of the Divine Sun, and instantly felt scorching hot all over.
However, the primordial spirit could absorb sun essence for cultivation. At this moment, although there was no天地 energy around this Divine Sun, there was extremely浓厚 sun essence.
"This place can actually cultivate the primordial spirit."
Li Hao was somewhat pleasantly surprised. However, he could feel that even with his primordial spirit strength, staying here was somewhat strenuous. If it were ordinary primordial spirits of other Sages, they would soon be unable to bear it, let alone absorb sun essence for cultivation here.
Li Hao's mind moved, and he opened the天地 space, took out his hand talisman, and asked Old Feng for their location.
Although his physical body was destroyed, the天地 space followed his primordial spirit.
Receiving Li Hao's message, Feng Boping, who was sitting sadly alone on the mountaintop in the Divine Immortal Ruins, suddenly widened his eyes, and then jumped up and down in surprise.
"You're still alive? You brat, you brat!"
Feng Boping was so excited that he became incoherent.
Beside him, Saintess Huangtian was stunned, and then her beautiful eyes couldn't help but widen, full of joy.
Soon, Feng Boping told Li Hao the location of the Divine Immortal Ruins.
Li Hao followed the location and arrived in the Divine Immortal Ruins.
And the Sages in the Divine Immortal Ruins also received news from Feng Boping that Li Hao was not dead!
This news made the Sages all feel surprised and excited. They stepped out of the Divine Immortal Ruins one after another to welcome Li Hao.
Li Hao saw that the Sages were also here, not surprised. He then stepped forward to meet Old Feng and Sword Master and the others.
"You, your body…"
Feng Boping was stunned when he saw that Li Hao was only a primordial spirit.
Li Hao smiled and said, "Although my body was destroyed, fortunately, I saved my life. I left my divine blood in the Holy Land. This time it can be considered a golden cicada shedding its shell."
As he spoke, he came to the Holy Land, raised his hand and beckoned, and a sealed drop of blood in the Holy Land flew through the gap and came before him.
As the primordial spirit merged with the divine blood, this drop of divine blood grew rapidly, and in a blink of an eye, dripping blood rebirth, the physical body recovered.
