Chapter 1413 Chapter 335:
Li Hao sped forward while talking to her about the Ancient Demon; that Ancient Demon could actually threaten him.
“That was the Ancient Demon King Clan, seemingly one of the ten Ancient Demon Clans known as the Dead Name Clan!”
Gu Xingwan recalled her grandfather’s words, showing a thoughtful expression as she spoke.
“Dead Name Clan?”
Li Hao was somewhat surprised; what a curious name.
“Yes, it’s said that the royal secret technique of the Dead Name Clan’s Ancient Demons can kill an enemy once they know the enemy’s name and carve it into the void!”
Gu Xingwan nodded, her expression somewhat solemn as she said, “This is the Emperor Dao laws mastered by the supreme of the Dead Name Clan.”
“Hmm?”
Li Hao’s expression turned odd as he asked, “Isn’t this ability somewhat similar to a curse? If the supreme of the Dead Name Clan knows the other Immortal Emperors’ names, wouldn’t it also pose a threat?”
Gu Xingwan shook her head and said, “The Dead Name Clan is very mysterious, considered one of the least populous among the ten Ancient Demon Clans. The exact conditions are probably only known by my grandfather.”
Li Hao nodded slightly, thinking of asking Elder Gu later. It seems that all ten Ancient Demon Clans possess unique abilities.
He suddenly thought of the Ancient Demon Woman, who was also part of the Ancient Demon King Clan, wondering what her strongest innate ability could be.
“Where are we headed now?”
Gu Xingwan secretly glanced at Li Hao’s profile.
“Let’s take a look around, find Ancient Demons, find others.” Li Hao said.
Gu Xingwan acknowledged with a sound, then didn’t speak again, silently following behind Li Hao.
Li Hao used the Returning Ruin Instantaneous Movement, flickering swiftly on his journey. With the All Heavens Star Vein, immortal power flowed endlessly.
Before long, Gu Xingwan struggled to catch up with Li Hao’s figure, unable to spare any thought for conversation or thinking.
“With this consumption, how will you have the strength to fight when we encounter Ancient Demons later?”
Gu Xingwan panted heavily, her face flushed with fatigue, her blood surging.
“The All Heavens Star Vein, didn’t your grandfather tell you?”
Li Hao said.
This Southern Domain battle, he showcased the All Heavens Star Vein technique. Even if others don’t recognize it, certainly, many knowledgeable people will. This trump card with no need to hide.
Gu Xingwan was startled, noticing the faint starlight in the void around Li Hao’s body. She realized that when Li Hao mentioned falling behind, it wasn’t intentional to leave her behind but was the truth.
Her expression turned complex, speaking softly, “If I can’t keep up, you just go ahead. Don’t let me slow you down.”
Li Hao moved instantaneously four or five more times, then slowed down slightly to give Gu Xingwan a chance to catch her breath.
Since he brought her along, he naturally wouldn’t abandon her halfway.
Considering the opponent’s heavy consumption of immortal power, leaving her would only be riskier.
“There’s no problem; going a bit slower doesn’t affect things.”
Li Hao said as he expanded his divine sense to probe his surroundings.
Before long, they encountered Ancient Demons again, eight of them flying toward this direction in a group.
Upon meeting, there were no extra words, only roars and battle ensued directly.
Yet Li Hao’s actions were extremely efficient, using the Sword God Technique; the golden sword light was brilliant beyond compare, illuminating the skies and slaying the eight Ancient Demons one by one.
Watching Li Hao slay Ancient Demons as effortlessly as chopping vegetables, Gu Xingwan’s lips pulled into a slight twitch, witnessing Li Hao’s strikes up close revealed the terror of this young man.
“This Southern Domain battle, you’re likely to be in the top three.”
Gu Xingwan said deeply to Li Hao.
“?”
Li Hao couldn’t help but glance back at her, “Little girl, don’t jinx me.”
The eight Ancient Demons perished, their bodies all collected by Li Hao. In the process, he also acquired a Tao Fire.
Li Hao took it, then continued forward.
…
Outside the secret realm, the Dharma Aspects of the Seven Emperors sat cross-legged in the void, chatting with each other.
Taking advantage of this Southern Domain event, they came forward to meet; usually, they rarely communicate.
Except for the calamity ten thousand years ago when the Seven Emperors rallied together to resist the Ancient Demons, thereafter, due to various internal reasons, they scattered and guarded their own Immortal Dynasties, even having friction among each other.
“Supreme, your disciple’s Sword Dao is somewhat terrifying; such a young age, and he’s already comprehended the fifth layer!”
The Emperor of the Tianzhao Immortal Dynasty, Emperor Tianzhao, lightly laughed towards the Heavenly Palace Venerable.
At this moment, in the reflected secret realm, a white-clad youth was walking alone with a sword, crossing over the corpses of dozens of Ancient Demons, headed further away.
Those dozens of Ancient Demons had just been annihilated with a single sword strike, leaving countless people speechless with shock.
“Just some talent, that’s all.”
The Heavenly Palace Venerable spoke kindly.
“I wonder if this young man can inherit the Sword Emperor’s throne. Since the Sword Emperor’s fall, his Spring Slash Emperor Sword has remained unused, which is rather unfortunate.”
Emperor Chu spoke calmly.
“The Spring Slash Emperor Sword was just one of the Sword Emperor’s weapons; his Sword Box was left behind in times past, which was said to contain nine Emperor Swords, each one famous and capable of piercing the skies, suppressing the True Realm for ten thousand years. Now, the Sword Box’s whereabouts are long unknown.”
The Empress of the Yuanzun Immortal Dynasty spoke serenely, her posture extraordinary, her imperial robes carved with ancient fierce beasts, exuding an air of supreme dignity and dominance.
“Emperor Chu, the youngster from your Immortal Dynasty isn’t bad either; his Sword Dao has its own flavor.”
Emperor Jiang of the Jiangrong Immortal Dynasty laughed.
Just earlier, Li Hao in the True Immortal Secret Realm had slain the Ancient Demon King Clan; even the Dead Name Clan’s innate secret technique was cleaved open, displaying the sword’s fearsome power.
Emperor Chu had noticed as well but didn’t discuss it; mainly to prevent Li Hao from showing his edge too early in the first round and drawing too much attention.
Though presently, Li Hao was already the focus of all eyes. His exaggerated soul life alone garnered myriad attentions, yet soul life only indicated talent, not actual prowess.
“It’s alright, but no comparison to the Supreme’s disciple.”
Emperor Chu spoke calmly.
“Supreme, your disciple seems to have a natural Sword Immortal body, right?”
The Empress of the Yuanzun Immortal Dynasty asked.
The Heavenly Palace Venerable nodded and said, “Indeed, but that’s his bloodline from two lifetimes ago.”
Upon hearing, the other emperors exchanged glances without speaking.
With the Heavenly Palace Venerable’s vision, taking him as a direct disciple certainly indicated something extremely extraordinary.
Accumulated over two lifetimes with the innate Sword Immortal body bloodline, observing the youth’s strikes likely also revealed Emperor Blood in his lineage, regardless of which lifetime, but overall inheriting a portion of the Emperor’s Will.
Every lifetime being top tier accumulation, stacking together, in this lifetime becoming the Heavenly Palace Venerable’s direct disciple, merging numerous foundational depths, destined to be unimaginably an unparalleled monster!
Only such an existence could have a slight possibility of being nurtured by the Heavenly Palace Venerable into the new Immortal Emperor.
“This first screening of three thousand Tao Fires aims to eliminate more than two-thirds of the participants. It’s considered quite harsh.”
Another emperor said, from the Jinyun Immortal Dynasty, Emperor Jin.
No one else disagreed, for the monsters gathered here were already one in a billion from each Immortal Dynasty, yet here, directly nearly half was cut down.
“In the end, likely fewer than three thousand will pass.”
The Original Venerable Empress spoke calmly: “Judging by that young man’s attitude, it seems he plans to sweep more out in this round.”
In the True Immortal Secret Realm, the golden glowing youth of the Ancient God Clan ‘Shen Wuji’ was hunting Ancient Demons everywhere, collecting Tao Fires.
The number of Tao Fires in his possession had already reached over ten.
“Hmm? It seems there are Ancient Demons gathering in a group over there, planning something big!”
“There’s a youngster in danger over there.”
Suddenly, in a certain mountain range of the True Immortal Secret Realm, a large group of Ancient Demons congregated, revealing their silhouettes.
Judging by the count, there were several hundred.
Such size already formed a small Ancient Demon army.
All of them were of True Immortal Realm Perfection, including many King Clans and elite Ancient Demons.
Such a formation made all the emperors of the Seven Immortal Dynasties furrow their brows.
Soon, this gathering of Ancient Demons drew attention, and everyone shockingly exclaimed.
“Those Ancient Demons are gathering together!”
“They want to form an army?”
“Who can withstand this?”
