Chapter 602 Breakthrough, Coming!
The news that the demon came to Gusu Imperial Star to challenge was not only circulated in the Su family, but also in the Lin family, the Jiang family and other large families.
Jiang Family, Jiang God's Mansion.
"Demon challenge? Great, I'll kill as many as you come!"
A young genius from the Jiang family said in a cold voice.
"So this is the opportunity to go down the mountain that Master mentioned. No wonder he let me go home."
Another young man from the Jiang family said that he was the prodigy of the Jiang family who was defeated by General Su Wanxue, the winner of the Sword Pool, and he was also Jiang Huanhuan's fourth brother.
"If you want to take this opportunity to kill my human race's genius, then we can also take this opportunity to kill his demon genius!"
"That's right. Even if they don't come, a thousand years from now, I will go to that border battlefield and kill them all."
Everyone in the Jiang family is eager to fight. Facing the monsters, no one will back down. Otherwise, how could the Jiang family become one of the pillars of the human race in the Northern Territory?
Lin family.
The news spread to all the courtyards, and many of the Lin family's geniuses gathered together, but one of them rushed to the ancestral land to pass the news to the emperor's son, who is now the pride of the Lin family.
Outside the ancestral land, the old man of the Lin family sat in a rocking chair and stopped those who came to report.
Upon hearing the news, Elder Xue shook his head slightly and said calmly: "There is no need to disturb him about such a small matter. I will let him know when he comes out of retreat. If it is still possible, let him kill all the monsters. If it is not possible, let the little girl from the Su family try her best, and the other families should also be able to help."
In addition to the three major families, other families are also actively preparing for war, and are piling all their family resources on the top geniuses in the family.
Some families choose to send their most outstanding geniuses to defend the dignity of the human race and also want to make a name for themselves by doing so, in order to stifle the ambitions of the demons in this first competition.
Some families choose to send out backups to hide the real dragon to prevent the real dragon from falling and the family from declining.
In the deep garden of the Su Mansion, in the Exiled Immortal Courtyard.
Su Muqing and Li Hao flew back to the courtyard one after the other. As soon as they landed, Su Muqing raised her foot and walked towards the hall. When she was about to cross the threshold, she suddenly stopped, then turned her head slightly and looked at the young man in the courtyard behind her.
"If you still have some backbone, then practice well."
As she spoke, she frowned, feeling that what she said was unnecessary.
Although Li Hao is qualified to participate in the battle, he is only at the first level of the Immortal King realm. His realm is too low. Even if he has excellent physical skills, it will be useless if he can only run away in a real fight.
Moreover, the demons will not observe any martial ethics and will only fight against people of the same realm. Most of those who go into battle will probably be at the seventh or eighth level of the Immortal King realm, or even perfect demons. They will surely come at the limit of their soul lifespan to participate in the battle.
Li Hao's soul lifespan is too short, and his realm is too low. If he practices hard, he may be able to take part in the next war. However, the next war will be a thousand years later, and Li Hao's soul lifespan will exceed that by then. In this game between the big clans, there is no room for the other side to play.
Shaking her head, she didn't think any more about it, withdrew her thoughts, and entered the hall.
Three years is just a blink of an eye for her. She must seize the opportunity and take another step forward!
With a bang, the palace door closed tightly.
Li Hao glanced at the disappearing figure, retracted his gaze, and sat back in his carving chair.
"Three years..."
Li Hao's eyes flickered slightly. If he could break through to the twelfth level of carving in these three years, his combat power would be greatly enhanced.
The situation of the human race in the Northern Territory is difficult. If there is a chance, he would like to contribute his own strength here.
Thinking about it, he picked up the carving knife and began to carve seriously.
The wood in his hand soon turned into a human figure, which was exactly the appearance of Ying Xiaoxiao.
Previously, Li Hao was reluctant to use the eleventh level of carving techniques to carve her because he did not want to desecrate her. But now, only when carving her can Li Hao devote himself to it and feel it. He feels that only in this way can he understand the true meaning of carving faster.
He also incorporated his insights into painting into his sculptures.
Sculpture and painting seem similar, but they are very different.
For mortals, one uses the pen as its tip, and the other uses the tip as the pen.
But in Li Hao's eyes, the core of the two are very different.
Carving may seem like painting on wood, but in reality it is about removing flaws, retaining nature, and carving out a perfect object that is the product of nature.
As for the way of painting, it is to gather the five forms and cultivate the true self.
Color, ink, shape, meaning, and soul are all part of painting.
What is similar between the two is that the art of painting also contains the laws of time and space, and the art of carving also contains the laws of time and space.
"The most precious sculpture in the world is probably the one that is created through the passage of time and through the vicissitudes of life..."
Li Hao's eyes flashed.
The sacred tree carved in his hand gradually turned into the appearance of Ying Xiaoxiao, standing tall and graceful in the palm of his hand with a beautiful figure. His eyes were filled with the youthfulness of a girl and the tenderness of an old friend.
Li Hao carved silently, and every stroke was filled with memories of the other person.
Time passes quietly.
There was abundant immortal power in the Exiled Immortal Academy. Even though Li Hao did not absorb it deliberately, a large amount of immortal power still flowed into his body.
A year later, the immortal power in his body continued to accumulate and reached a bottleneck. Then, when Li Hao was immersed in carving, he broke through silently and was promoted from the first level of the Immortal King Realm to the second level of the Immortal King Realm!
As his realm improved, Li Hao's immortal power suddenly doubled, increasing to three times the original!
In the realm of true immortality, each level will double the immortal power, and in the realm of Immortal Lord it will triple!
There is no obvious gap in the early stage, but as the realm becomes higher, every three-fold improvement accumulates to an extremely exaggerated gap!
Therefore, the higher the realm, the lower the possibility of overcoming adversity. Even top geniuses such as Su Muqing can only overcome the third or fourth level in the Immortal King realm. If they encounter a monster who is also a genius, the other immortal arts will cancel each other out, and it is extremely rare to be able to overcome one or two levels of adversity.
Li Hao did not feel his realm improvement and was still immersed in carving.
His immortal body of heaven and earth is also constantly improving.
Another year has passed.
A faint buzzing sound came from Li Hao's body. The immortal body and the soul were fighting each other, but it ended in a draw in the end!
The game was settled in a draw, and the two sides were inseparable. His immortal body of heaven and earth was truly condensed from then on and entered a stage of minor success!
Although it was only a small achievement, Li Hao could feel that the strength in his body increased dramatically at this moment, and the improvement was so great that it far exceeded the realm breakthrough.
The power of the soul and golden bones was all added to the immortal body. He felt that the terrifying destructive power of the soul was contained in the slightest movement of his hand.
In the past two years, Li Hao has been eating ancient demons every day, and his soul's golden bones have increased by more than two hundred, now totaling one thousand and one hundred!
Li Hao felt that the power of his soul was becoming more and more full, leading to some mysterious legendary realm.
He knew that was the final stage of the soul!
At the beginning, the deity in the Zhenzun Tower was the final state of the primordial spirit. He did not perish in that catastrophe. The true god is immortal!
If Li Hao could also cultivate into a true god, he felt that even the Immortal King realm would find it difficult to kill him. He even had a chance of escaping from the Immortal Emperor.
However, he is still some distance away from this distant end, but is getting closer and closer to its threshold!
As time passed, the news that demons came to Gusu Imperial Star to challenge the geniuses of the human race gradually spread from various families.
The entire Gusu Imperial Star was full of discussions about it.
In addition to those aristocratic families, many ordinary immortals and gods were also furious when they heard the news. They all wished they could show up in person and kill the demons.
The top geniuses from each family stayed indoors, practiced hard within the clan, and made their final sprint in seclusion.
In the past two years, Jiang Huanhuan and Lin Jinrou have not appeared in the Su family again. In the Exiled Immortal Courtyard, Su Wanqing and Su Wanxue have not been seen again. As for the tightly closed palace door, it has not moved at all, as if it was covered in dust.
Only Wu Ma and the maids in the courtyard occasionally passed by here.
Li Hao continued to practice in silence, eating ancient demons every day.
The corpse of the ancient demon that he had hunted during the test in the South Region had been almost eaten by him. Li Hao felt that the remaining corpse would only be enough for him to eat for less than two years at most.
However, after he really finished eating, Li Hao planned to ask the Su family for some, as he was too lazy to go out hunting himself.
…
Outside Gusu Imperial Star, in the starry sky.
A pitch-black warship came flying over, teleported here from the distant deep space. The hull was shrouded in imperial power, and when it just arrived outside the imperial star, it had already alarmed certain beings inside the imperial star.
"Is this the imperial star of the Northern Territory human race?"
"I heard that the Su family and the Lin family, who have been active recently, are both on this imperial planet."
"Hmm, Su's? It tastes good."
On the deck of the dark warship, there were tall figures standing. Some had slender bodies and stern faces, some were burly and emanated a mountain-like aura, and some had graceful figures and charming faces, like the bright and cold moon. All of them had extremely unique temperaments and would become the focus of everyone's attention wherever they stood.
And there were as many as twenty such people on this deck.
Among them, five figures are the most eye-catching. There are phantoms of great avenues appearing around them, and there seems to be an invisible and extremely obscure life force above their heads, connecting with the power of a star in the distant starry sky.
The howling gale outside the warship made their immortal robes rustle. Everyone stood like nails, with powerful auras and cold eyes.
Around them, there were three deep figures, gazing at the gigantic imperial star before them.
Outside the Emperor Star, there is a faint shadow of a golden phoenix hovering, but this shadow is invisible to ordinary people.
They knew that this was the soul of this imperial star.
Plants and trees become monsters, birds and beasts become demons, mountains, rivers and the earth also have their own souls, and the same is true for the Emperor Star.
Judging from the circling shadow of the ancient phoenix, the fortune of this imperial star is extremely prosperous and it must have gathered many geniuses.
"They have already sensed our arrival."
One of the figures whispered.
"I don't know whether they are planning to send some dead ghosts here, or whether they are planning to fight to the death. I heard that the Su and Lin families have given birth to an emperor-level monster. I hope I can see it on this trip."
Another figure said calmly, his eyes were purple, and there seemed to be thunder and lightning in them, containing terrible power.
The warship slowly approached the imperial star until it was submerged by the light of the imperial star and entered it.
And on the Gusu Imperial Star, the hidden beings from the major families all raised their heads at this moment, staring at the sky in surprise and doubt.
An undisguised, extremely evil and ferocious demonic aura galloped in from outside the Imperial Star.
“Here they come!”
The ancestor of a certain noble family was hunched over, and his dim eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light at this moment.
"Go wake up the prince, prepare to slay the demons and exorcise the devil!"
The ancestor of another family whispered with undisguised murderous intent in his eyes. At the same time, all his aura was revealed at this moment, without any suppression.
This is the human race's imperial planet, this is the human race's territory, how can we allow the demons to act recklessly and emit an aura that overwhelms others!
As the huge warship descended on the Imperial Star, the hideous and evil aura of the demons enveloped the star like a dark cloud. The people in the more than 30,000 fairy cities on the Imperial Star all felt a chill and cold feeling, as if something slippery was flowing down their throats into their stomachs, stirring them constantly. They felt extremely disgusted and uncomfortable, as well as an uncontrollable shudder of horror.
"It's the breath of a demon!"
"What a terrifying aura! What level of demon is this?!"
"Could it be the Demon Emperor?"
"No, it's impossible. When the Great Emperor travels, the Imperial Road runs through the starry sky of the Real Realm. Even a three-year-old child can see it."
In the immortal cities, countless people were shocked and looked up at the sky, but their vision was limited, especially on the back of the Emperor Star, so they could not see the warship. However, the evil and ferocious might was as if a demon was blowing in their ears, and everyone could feel it.
As the demonic aura spread, countless people on the entire Imperial Star became panic-stricken. Suddenly, powerful auras rose up from all over Gusu Imperial Star, like glowing divine pillars piercing through the sky!
Those powerful and invincible auras came from various major families. Many sleeping ancestors of the families woke up at this moment, showing their might, filled with anger and murderous intent!
The entire Gusu Imperial Star seemed to have become a battlefield between humans and demons in an instant. Terrifying auras enveloped the sky, protecting the immortal city and confronting the demonic aura.
There was a bang.
In Gusu City, the Su family, a majestic aura suddenly rose, as if a god was raising his head and rising from the earth.
Those who practiced or retreated in the various courtyards of the Su family all felt this vast and powerful force. This force was pure and masculine, standing tall like a majestic mountain.
Li Hao, who was immersed in the carving, raised his head, and the confusion in his eyes gradually disappeared and he came back to his senses.
I saw a Dharma image of heaven and earth appearing above the Su family. The body of this Dharma image was extremely huge, like an ancient giant god. With Li Hao's eyesight, he could only see its calves and knees. Its upper body was countless thousands of feet long, piercing through the clouds.
"This is……"
Li Hao's eyes were solemn. The aura of this Dharma image belonged to Su Zhenyuan, the patriarch of the Su family. He exuded imperial power, but compared with the imperial power of the Supreme, it was obviously inferior. He was not a true Immortal Emperor.
With a creaking sound, the palace door in front suddenly broke open, and a figure stepped out in the wind. It was Su Muqing.
Her gaze fell on the towering Dharma image, her eyes solemn.
"Three years..."
She whispered softly, and in the blink of an eye, three years had passed, and the demon arrived so punctually, as promised!
Li Hao's gaze shifted to Su Muqing. Su Muqing noticed Li Hao's gaze and glanced at him. She immediately discovered that Li Hao's cultivation had improved by one level, reaching the second level of the Immortal King realm.
It seems that what I said before still has an effect on him... However, after staying in the Exiled Immortal Academy for so long, it is time for him to break through.
Su Muqing retracted her gaze and no longer looked at Li Hao. Whether the latter had a breakthrough or not was meaningless to this battle.
The key is that in the past three years, she has made a breakthrough herself.
Now he has reached the seventh level of the Immortal King realm!
In addition to her realm improvement, she has also made progress in other aspects.
"A demon with a soul lifespan of a thousand years... let me meet him."
There was a cold light flashing in Su Muqing's eyes, filled with chilliness.
Thunder rumbled in the sky, and a pitch-black warship descended. The clouds and mist evaporated, and boundless power pressed down and appeared above Gusu City.
In addition to the Su family, the Lin family, the Jiang family, and other aristocratic families in the city also felt this sense of oppression.
"Three Half-Step Emperors?!"
In the Jiang family, there was a silver-haired woman with a divine moon mark on her forehead. She sat in the Taixu Palace of the Jiang family, her eyes staring straight into the sky, penetrating the dome of the palace and seeing the scene on the black warship.
The next moment, her silver hair fluttered in the wind, her fairy robe rolled, and a Dharma image of heaven and earth rapidly extended from behind her. In a blink of an eye, it crossed the entire huge Taixu Palace. Even the surrounding Jiangshen Mansion was shrinking rapidly under her feet. The Dharma image continued to rise, and even the Gusu City seemed to be under her feet.
