Chapter 672 The War Begins
Tianzun is both a state of mind and a real existence.
Li Hao could feel that among the eight realms of martial arts, the realm of heaven and man was the most mysterious.
The ultimate state is becoming an immortal, and when one reaches the ultimate state of becoming an immortal, one can touch the ethereal existence of the Heavenly Lord.
When touching this Heavenly Venerable, Li Hao, who had completely merged into the heaven and earth, seemed to slowly merge with this Heavenly Venerable, merge into that emotionless shell, merge into his body, and become one of his bodies.
With the help of that majestic and supreme body, Li Hao had a terrifying perception that all the laws and everything in the world seemed to be under his control and could be mobilized!
"The final state... is just a state, but it can touch a certain existence."
Li Hao felt that the existence of this Heavenly Venerable was somewhat terrifying, as if he was another equal being who could rival the Heavenly Dao.
At this moment, in the state of Dongxu's mind, Li Hao's immortal body of heaven and earth turned into countless particles and penetrated deep into the body of Tianzun. In such a close fit, he had a clearer understanding of the control of the power of heaven and earth.
He tried to control the body of Tianzun, but nothing happened, as if there was another force, a steadier and more vast force, dominating this body.
Many thoughts flashed through Li Hao's mind, and he suddenly had a more thorough understanding.
What is a realm? A realm is where a certain power condenses.
And this is true for everything in the world.
Mountains, rivers, rocks, and life are all composed of the condensation of many substances.
Condensing the Daoyuan Immortal Seal by oneself is also a kind of power and realm. This Tianzun seems to be an existence similar to the Daoyuan Immortal Seal.
"But, I don't know who opened up this final realm..."
Li Hao murmured in his heart, and he could feel that the person who opened up the ultimate realm of Tianzun must be an extremely terrifying Immortal Emperor!
His body withdrew from the body of the Heavenly Venerable and slowly condensed in the void, forming a small Heavenly Venerable based on the body of the Heavenly Venerable.
"To control all laws, to harness all paths, laws are not determined by fate, paths are not determined by heaven, to transcend the realm of the Tao is to be a Heavenly Venerable."
As this final state was formed, Li Hao stood in the mountain spring at the top of the mountain. He was radiating light all over his body. He seemed to be standing in the present, but also as if he was standing in the distant past or future. He was not bound by time and space, nor was he eroded by all kinds of things.
"This is... the ultimate state of the celestial being, where one controls all things and is immune to all obstacles!"
At this moment, Li Hao completed the fifth final realm!
In addition, he also mastered four other ultimate realms, namely the ultimate realm of universal power and divine blood.
The final realm of the Zhoutian cycle, the veins of the stars in the sky.
The ultimate realm of spiritual journey, the true God.
The final state of the three immortals is eternal immortality.
Among them, these three immortal realms were opened up by the Heavenly Dao Blood bestowed upon Li Hao by the Immortal Emperor Daoyuan, giving Li Hao extraordinary life-saving abilities.
When the true god's blood condenses into tens of thousands drops and the true god is finally formed, Li Hao's survival and combat power will reach an extremely exaggerated level.
The true God is indestructible and eternally immortal, and both his body and soul have reached perfection.
Back in the human world, Li Hao only borrowed a little bit of the power of the Heavenly Venerable to kill several saints under the command of Xu Sheng. Now that he has cultivated to the final realm of the Heavenly Venerable and can mobilize the power of all the ways at will, he knows how terrifying this final realm of the Heavenly Venerable is.
"Immune to all attacks... No matter what methods the Immortal Lords use, they can't hurt me in the slightest."
"In our previous battle, that Divine King was the reincarnation of a Quasi-Emperor, but he hadn't yet reached the final stage of Heavenly Venerable cultivation. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to do anything to him!"
The power controlled by the Immortal King realm is still the Tao realm and immortal magic, but for the Heavenly Lord, these are all exempt and inviolable!
In the realm of Immortal King, in addition to the realm of Tao and immortal magic, there is also the power of the realm.
However, the realm itself is also constructed by the Dao Realm and the Laws of All Daos. If the Dao Realm and the Laws of All Daos are put aside, the pure power of the realm will be greatly reduced.
Although the power of the realm is strong, it also requires original driving force.
"With this Heavenly Venerable state, the attack of the Immortal King Realm, no matter how many levels, can be reduced to 90%!"
Li Hao had a clear understanding that this Heavenly Venerable's final state was too terrifying. He was invulnerable to all Daos and was beyond the existence of "Dao". Any power in the Dao realm could not affect him.
The Heavenly Venerable is integrated into the heaven and earth, and yet transcends them. If anyone wants to hurt him, it can only be done by the power of the realm, or the higher power of the emperor.
"An Immortal King of the same realm, with his power reduced by 90%, can't hurt me at all. Even an Immortal King two or three realms higher, with his lethality reduced by 90%, can only pose a very limited threat to me. Only an Immortal King of a higher realm can cause me any harm!"
Li Hao thought to himself.
Although he is still only at the first level of the Immortal King Realm, with his Heavenly Venerable Final Realm, he can fight against high-level Immortal Kings.
This final state of the Heavenly Venerable is equivalent to giving yourself a shield with 90% immunity, which is simply cheating!
However, the power of each final realm is extremely special, almost to the level of cheating. For example, the immortal power of the star veins in the sky is infinite. Even if one person fights as an army, he will not be exhausted, which is an exaggeration.
Not to mention the True God Realm, but the Divine Blood Final Realm is considered the weakest final realm. However, it allowed Li Hao, who had just entered the Wen Dao Realm, to withstand the pursuit of the Saint Realm and survive.
"I didn't expect that the Void State of Mind could actually allow me to comprehend the Heavenly Venerable State, a double breakthrough at once!"
Li Hao came out of the state of Heavenly Venerate and returned to the mountain spring to soak, but he couldn't help but smile on his face.
After the previous border battle, even he, who was a simple-minded person, felt an urgent need for power.
In troubled times, how can we live without a three-foot sword?
Now, he has the real power to protect himself in this border battlefield.
"It's time to celebrate. Call Shi Miao to eat the ancient demon meat!"
Li Hao changed his mind and sent a message to Shi Miao.
Previously, Shi Miao was accompanying Li Hao on his floor, but something happened and he left quietly. After receiving Li Hao's message, he quickly came here.
"What good news?"
Shi Miao flew to the mountain spring and saw Li Hao smiling. The worries in his heart disappeared at this moment, and he asked with a smile.
"I just realized the third world heart!"
Li Hao smiled and said, "Moreover, by chance, I was able to comprehend the final state of the Heavenly Venerable!"
Li Hao did not hide anything from Shi Miao. After all, the other party was willing to stand up for him in front of the Supreme.
Since he was willing to risk his life for him, Li Hao naturally had no secrets from him.
"The third world heart?"
Shi Miao was stunned for a moment, then shocked, "You said you realized the final state of the Heavenly Venerable?!"
In her previous life, she was at the quasi-emperor level, and was only one step away from paving the way to becoming an emperor. Wandering in the long river of time, she knew too well the power of the final realm of the Heavenly Venerable.
Since ancient times, there have been very few beings who have been able to open up the final realm of the Heavenly Venerable, and many quasi-emperor realms have not been able to do so!
Once this realm is opened up, one can ignore attacks from the Dao realm and laws, and can only be harmed by other special forces.
Moreover, mastering the ultimate realm of the Heavenly Venerable will also bring about a qualitative change in the speed of understanding the realm of Tao, which will enable the practice to advance by leaps and bounds and progress rapidly!
Even she, in her previous life, had to struggle to comprehend the ultimate state of the Heavenly Venerable, and only then had the opportunity to kneel down and kowtow in prayer before the Heavenly Venerable.
Compared to Li Hao's comprehension of the third realm heart, the opening up of the final realm of the Heavenly Venerable shocked and surprised her even more. This difficulty was too great, even no less than comprehending the realm of royal power!
Shi Miao was extremely surprised when Li Hao nodded in confirmation. She knew that Li Hao would not lie. This meant that Li Hao could fight with all his might on this border. Especially the news she had received not long ago made her extremely nervous. She was also considering whether to take Li Hao away from here to avoid participating in this battle.
Although this behavior is shameful, she has never avoided fighting in her previous life, let alone in this life, but she does not want to see Li Hao get into trouble.
"Your cultivation speed is too fast. It seems that it won't be long before you can even catch up with me."
Shi Miao said in surprise.
Li Hao smiled, took out the flesh and blood of the ancient demon from the space of heaven and earth, and started cooking and grilling it nearby.
This ancient demon meat can enhance the power of the soul and has a significant effect. Li Hao has no intention of exposing it except to those close to him to avoid bringing disaster upon himself.
After all, the myriad races in the world today are not united as one.
"You've condensed a third world heart. So, have you found a way for the three world hearts to coexist?"
Shi Miao sat down aside, her movements light and ladylike, and said happily.
Li Hao shook his head: "Not yet. I need to try it first. At present, the boundary heart... can be regarded as a sealed state."
"Seal it?"
Shi Miao was surprised. How could the Realm Heart be sealed? But seeing Li Hao's expression, she knew she had touched upon his secret. She didn't ask any further questions, but simply said, "Then you need to practice more trials. This path to becoming an emperor is too difficult!"
Li Hao nodded.
As the aroma of the ancient demon meat wafted over, the two of them ate and chatted, and Shi Miao naturally mentioned the recent events in the city.
"I have some bad news for you."
"What?"
Li Hao was stunned, and then his heart skipped a beat. To be described as "bad" by Shi Miao on the border battlefield, the news must be very serious.
"Seeing that the Dragon Pass has been broken."
Shi Miao said in a deep voice.
Li Hao's mouth, which had just been chewing, suddenly stopped. The ancient demon meat in his mouth seemed to have suddenly lost its taste.
His pupils shrank slightly, and he felt a buzzing sensation in his head. Has the Dragon Pass been broken?
That was the place guarded by Fifth Senior Brother Long Qingge, how could it be breached?!
That was the Eastern Territory's first line of defense, standing for countless years. How could it be breached so suddenly?!
While Li Hao was stunned, Shi Miao didn't breathe heavily, and quickly said, "But your fifth senior brother is fine. He and the remaining troops have retreated to Zulong City, the second line of defense. He sent a message not long ago, telling us to leave the East Region. You were in seclusion before, and I felt that you seemed to be at a critical moment of enlightenment, so I didn't disturb you."
"What's going on?"
Li Hao quickly came to his senses, his eyes extremely calm.
"I heard from your fifth senior brother that the ancient demons in the Eastern Region seem to have joined forces."
Shi Miao's face was filled with worry. "After the great war that year, coupled with the ancient demons' internal strife for a hundred thousand years, the ancient demons are now dominated by ten major royal families, each occupying various regions in the True Realm."
"Over the years, the various realms of the True Realm have been able to maintain stable development, thanks to the internal strife of the Ancient Demons. During that great battle, Master joined forces with several other Immortal Emperors to break the Ancient Demon Clan's reincarnation gate!"
"That is the core of the Ancient Demon Clan. Whoever controls the Samsara Gate will be the leader of the Ancient Demon Clan."
"The destruction of the Samsara Gate caused the ancient demon clan to fall apart, but now, it seems to have reunited. Although I knew this day would come sooner or later, I didn't expect it to come so soon. If I wait another ten thousand years, until you open up the imperial path and enter the highest realm, we can face it together..."
Shi Miao whispered and spoke slowly.
One hundred thousand years ago, she and her master faced off against the ancient demon together.
Now, countless years have passed, and she has long had a premonition that the ancient demon clan will unite sooner or later, and the war of that year will break out again.
After all, although the ancient demon clan is in internal strife, they will never sit idly by and watch the myriad clans in the real world continue to grow.
She originally thought that she would wait until Li Hao grew up, and she would recover her peak cultivation level from her previous life, so that she could fight the ancient demon again and end the unfinished dispute that had existed for 100,000 years.
Unexpectedly, this dispute came earlier than expected, and both she and Li Hao were still in the Immortal King realm, still far from perfection.
Although the Immortal King realm can rule a region, countless people died in the war that year, and no one even remembers it.
"Ancient Demon Alliance?"
Li Hao was stunned. The ancient demons who had been silent for countless years actually united. This was a bit too abrupt.
But he knew that perhaps these ancient demons had already begun to show signs of gathering, but he had practiced for too short a time and had not come into contact with them at all.
"So, the war that happened back then will happen again soon?"
Li Hao's heart sank. That was a war that affected all races in the real world. Living beings were devastated everywhere. No eggs were left unbroken when the nest was overturned. There was no pure land anywhere.
"At this moment, they should not have all united yet, otherwise it would not just be Jianlong Pass that would be breached."
Shi Miao shook his head and said, "But the Eastern Region will most likely become the first battlefield of the Second War. Your senior brother suggested that we leave the Eastern Region first. It is no longer suitable for trials. We should go somewhere else first and return to fight after we have achieved success in our cultivation."
"Can you wait?"
Li Hao looked up and asked.
Shi Miao was stunned and speechless.
The ancient demon war was extremely sudden, sweeping across all areas of the Real Realm in an instant, catching all races in the Real Realm off guard.
Although the emperors took action one after another, using the Emperor Road to transport soldiers of various races to the battlefield and quickly set up a defensive counterattack, the terrifying strength of the ancient demon clan caused many battlefields to collapse quickly.
Countless people died in that catastrophe. Even though all races finally realized the crisis of possible destruction and made a final joint defense, they were unable to completely resist it.
Only after sacrificing many Immortal Emperors were they able to barely stop the ancient demon, resulting in a stalemate that lasted for 100,000 years.
"Master, do you know this news?"
Li Hao suddenly asked.
Shi Miao nodded: "Most likely I know, but as for what arrangements will be made, I don't know."
Li Hao nodded silently without saying a word. The joy of his previous breakthrough in cultivation disappeared at this moment.
Shi Miao saw that Li Hao didn't say anything, and knew that Li Hao needed some time to digest.
Should I stay here and fight, or should I leave for the sake of the overall situation and endure the humiliation?
After all, the Eastern Region was in dire straits right now, and Long Qingge was fighting on the front lines, while Li Hao had abandoned the Eastern Region and fled elsewhere...
She sighed in her heart, without saying anything, nor affecting Li Hao. After eating the ancient demon's flesh and blood, she left quietly.
Li Hao sat alone on the top of the mountain, silent for a long time.
