Chapter 418 Anger
Seeing that Li Hao was safe and sound, Feng Boping felt excited but also relieved.
After fighting with a true immortal, it was a miracle to be able to come back alive. The destruction of Li Hao's physical body was enough to show how difficult and dangerous this battle was.
"It's okay, it's okay, don't take risks like this next time!"
"Um."
Li Hao nodded. He could feel the excitement in Old Feng's heart. He felt a little sorry. "I'm sorry for making you worry."
"You are still thinking about this. I'm glad you can come back." A rare smile appeared on the sword master's face.
Lie Tiansheng came over, pinched Li Hao's arm, and said, "You really made me worried this time. Lao Feng almost cried. I saw him in such a miserable state when he was expelled from the sect..."
Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered that her former master, Saint Mitian, was still by her side. She couldn't help but look back and smile, looking quite playful.
Saint Mitian smiled bitterly and said, "I was indeed your teacher back then..."
"It's all in the past. I just said it casually." Lie Tiansheng said.
Feng Bo gave her a blank look. Although the incident at the beginning was a scar between him and the other party, this trip to Xu Mitian could be considered a reconciliation.
As they talked, the saints slowly approached.
"Hao Tian Zun, I'm glad you're okay."
Mingsheng was so surprised to see Li Hao coming back alive. He thought that Li Hao would sacrifice himself for them like Yuanzu and the God King. Another of the strongest fighters of the human race had fallen. He did not expect that Li Hao could escape from the True Immortal Ancient Demon. It was simply a miracle.
Moreover, this point seems to also reflect indirectly that Li Hao is stronger than Yuanzu and the God King!
This was shocking news. The young man before them had broken the rules time and again. In the battle among the supreme geniuses, he had shown the saints his brilliance. Even without incense, he could become a saint instantly.
"What about the ancient demon?"
Although the Sage of Mage was surprised that Li Hao could come back, he couldn't help but think of the ancient demon.
Hearing his words, everyone was shocked and couldn't help but looked at Li Hao, with inquiring concern in their eyes.
Li Hao's expression became serious, and he said, "I failed to kill him. Instead, his body was instantly destroyed by him. I fled in a hurry and got rid of him and came here. Now, that ancient demon..."
He paused, then said solemnly: "Either they are looking for me everywhere in the heavens, or... they are slaughtering me."
When they heard the word "massacre", the faces of all the saints changed and they couldn't help but clench their hands. This was not anger, but a strong sense of shame.
Although they had anticipated when they took refuge here that without their support, the ancient demon would kill innocent people everywhere in the heavens and cause great suffering to all living things, but when such a thing really happened, they still felt as if ants were crawling all over their bodies, and felt indescribable discomfort and uneasiness.
Faced with the silence of the saints, Li Hao did not say any more words of blame or accusation. The mistake had been made and it was too late to say anything. Perhaps only if he had personally guarded outside the Immortal Gate could he have stopped the actions of the saints.
He felt regretful and looked around the holy land, where he saw many of Dayu's people.
The reason why they can be recognized as Dayu's people is mainly because of the structure of their clothing. Although there are many divine dynasties in the heavens, the clothing and dress of each dynasty are somewhat different. This is derived from the beliefs of the dynasty itself and will have an impact on all aspects.
"It has come to this. This should have been expected."
Feng Boping's face turned cold, and he glanced at the saints. Then he was worried that Li Hao would rush out again, so he said, "Don't think too much. We will take refuge here and recuperate for ten years. With your potential, you will definitely reach a higher level in ten years. It is possible to cultivate to the level of a saint. Then, with the cooperation of the military formation of the military saint, you may be able to fight against the ancient demon of the true immortal."
He also learned about the military formation from the saints. Previously, they all thought that Li Hao would die like Yuanzu and the God King, and they were thinking of selecting another person to become the core of the military formation.
After hearing Feng Boping's words, the saints came to their senses and immediately realized what Feng Boping was thinking. Several of them began to persuade him.
Others remained silent, some found it difficult to speak.
After all, the fault was caused by them. All living beings in the heavens were suffering from an unexpected disaster. Now they have to persuade Li Hao to give up on them. If they did not think that this was for the sake of the overall situation, their Taoist faith would collapse with shame.
"That's right. You have only practiced for less than 30 years, and you have become a saint. You can kill the old three disasters. Now that you have been in the ancient road for twelve years, you have surpassed the source ancestor and the god king. You can even escape from the hands of the true immortals. If you practice for another ten years, you may be able to fight against the true immortals."
Mingsheng said quickly, his eyes burning with strong hope and confidence in Li Hao.
The young man in front of them was definitely the most enchanting genius in the history of the universe. Although it was an exaggeration to say that he was a saint at the age of thirty, they could still barely accept it. But in just twelve years, he had cultivated to a level that surpassed the Source Ancestor. This soaring speed overturned their cognition.
Li Hao nodded, he thought so too.
In this refuge, he continued to study his arts. Although there was no energy from heaven and earth here and he could not practice, his practice did not require too much energy from heaven and earth. It mainly depended on his state of mind.
If he studies hard for ten years, Li Hao is confident that he can defeat the True Immortal.
"Um."
Li Hao nodded, agreeing with them.
All the saints breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and at the same time felt a sense of anticipation and eagerness, as if they saw hope again.
Ten years. If we give the young man in front of us another ten years, can he continue to create miracles?
Thinking of Li Hao's monstrous talent, the saints all felt a glimmer of hope in their hearts. Although it was not big, it was still hope! "There are many barriers outside this holy land. This is..."
At this time, Li Hao noticed the barrier surrounding the holy land and was somewhat surprised.
"It has been too long. The remains of the immortal gods are incomplete. The destructive power from the divine sun has seeped in. We have to use a barrier to block it. With the power of us and the saints, we can only hold out for ten years."
The Fox Lord explained to Li Hao with a complicated look in her eyes. The memory of the little white fox in the human world was integrated into her own memory and became just a part of it, like a dream. But now the person in the dream is becoming clearer and more familiar.
In the human world, the other party was guarding an isolated city, and now he is almost dead because of the heavens.
"incomplete?"
Li Hao was stunned. He looked intently at the immortal ruins outside the holy land's barrier. He immediately saw that there were indeed destructive forces infiltrating and roaming, hitting the barrier outside the holy land.
Li Hao finally understood why they had said it would last for ten years. It turned out that this refuge could only last for another ten years.
However, ten years was enough for him.
"In the next ten years, no matter how Lord Haotian wants to practice, we will fully cooperate. If you need us, just let us know."
Mingsheng said to Li Hao seriously: "Whether you need treasures from heaven and earth or other magical medicines, as long as we have them, we will give them to you."
As he spoke, he looked at the saints and said, "Now, if you have any magical medicine that can help with cultivation, I hope you can give it to us. As long as we survive this disaster, I will remember this friendship and repay you in the future."
"It's too polite for a famous saint to say this. Why do we need you to report it? If it weren't for Lord Haotian, we would have died. This is a life-saving grace. No matter how poor we are, we will never deny your life-saving grace!" said an old saint of the Three Disasters.
"That's right, I have a magic medicine here that can temporarily increase the strength of spiritual consciousness, but the effect is very good, and it is useful for people at the extreme level of the soul."
"I have three Yin-Yang Mysterious Pills here. When you are seriously injured and dying, you can be reborn in Nirvana, and all aspects will be improved and strengthened."
"I have some here..."
The saints all offered their magical medicines.
Li Hao waved his hand slightly to stop them from taking out more. These magic medicines were of little significance to him. Even if they were magic medicines used for cultivation, they could only help practitioners reach the extreme realm. However, he had already reached the extreme realm in all realms. Taking these pills would have little effect and could not enable him to reach the extreme realm limit and break through the extreme realm.
"Let's talk about it when I need it." Li Hao said to the saints.
The saints were stunned to see that Li Hao didn't seem tempted at all by the numerous magical medicines. Even for the Source Ancestor and the God King, it would be difficult to remain calm when they offered medicines one after another.
"Hao Tian Zun, please don't have pity. As long as I can help you, even just a little bit, it is enough. You are the hope of the heavens!"
A saint said seriously.
Li Hao shook his head slightly and said, "No need to mention it anymore. I'm going to prepare for cultivation."
Upon hearing this, the saints stopped talking and did not dare to delay Li Hao.
Nowadays, time is running out and practicing is a matter of racing against time.
Li Hao was about to leave when he suddenly noticed that his incense sticks were decreasing and was startled.
The decrease in incense offerings is either because the believers have changed their beliefs or have died.
When Li Hao thought of the ancient demon, his expression changed slightly.
"That ancient demon may already be slaughtering people."
Li Hao's face darkened again, and he felt heavier in his heart.
After all, they are the lives of the heavens. Their number is countless, definitely not just billions.
In just one small world, there are hundreds of billions of human beings and dozens of divine dynasties.
What's more, the thirty-three realms of the heavens added together.
"how?"
Feng Boping saw that Li Hao looked strange and couldn't help but ask.
Li Hao shook his head slightly and said, "My incense is decreasing. The ancient demon should be slaughtering people."
The saints were stunned, and then a few of them noticed that their incense sticks were decreasing. They looked at each other and immediately asked other saints.
But there was no change in the incense of other saints, and those saints suddenly looked ugly. Most of their believers were concentrated in the same small world, which was also the place where they mainly preached. Now it seemed that the small world was obviously invaded by ancient demons.
"Damn it!"
"This damn ancient demon!"
Several saints gritted their teeth and cursed angrily.
"If you want to see the situation outside, I have a Dao Jie Emperor Weapon that can reflect the coordinates and scenes of any place in the heavens."
At this time, a young-looking saint suddenly spoke.
The famous saint, the Mohist Saint and several other saints could not help but look at him. The famous saint seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Is it the mirror?"
"That's right."
The saint was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the famous saint had heard of this thing.
"I got it in an ancient forbidden place. It can be used to view any place in the heavens. Even the divine sun outside cannot block the interference. I just tried it." said the young saint.
All the saints looked at him, and one saint asked, "Can you spy on the holy land outside as well?"
A trace of unnaturalness appeared on the young man's face, and he nodded and said, "That's right."
The saints were stunned and could not help but look at each other. This imperial weapon was too powerful. Didn't this mean that if the other party wanted to, he could even spy on them when they were practicing?
No wonder I have never heard this saint talk about this mirror before.
After all, if such a treasure falls into anyone's hands, the saints will feel uneasy. No one wants to be spied on when they are practicing or doing secret things.
"No wonder, no wonder you established Skylark Tower, the number one intelligence organization in the universe."
A saint sighed, but looked at him coldly, and his eyes seemed to indicate that he suspected that he had also been spied on.
This young man was named Dark Saint. He founded the Skylark Tower and was known as the Lord of the Bird in the Skylark Tower. He was extremely mysterious. There had always been rumors and speculations in the heavens, wondering which saint the Lord of the Bird was, but there was still no answer.
"I once felt a hint of spying, could it be you?"
The Medical Saint suddenly narrowed his eyes and stared at the other person with a bad look.
The Dark Saint's expression changed slightly, and he shook his head and said, "No, no, I will never spy on you, the Supreme Saints."
Although he said this, everyone, including the Sage of Mohism, had a slightly cold look in their eyes, and they obviously suspected that they had also been spied on.
No one knows how many secrets the other party has mastered, but they never knew about it. Although they knew that the other party was the Lord of Skylark Tower, Skylark Tower collected intelligence through various channels. They didn't expect that their Lord was the most ruthless and spied directly at home.
"Stop talking so much, just take it out and have a look. From now on, this mirror will be kept in a public place and will never be in the hands of anyone."
The Yin Yang Supreme snorted coldly.
The Dark Saint smiled bitterly, he knew that this would happen if the mirror was exposed. Moreover, since it was a disaster avoidance period and he didn't know if there would be a future, if the mirror had been exposed before the ancient demon appeared, he would surely encounter a catastrophe.
With a sigh, Dark Saint nodded and said, "That's no problem."
When he chose to take out this mirror, he had already made all kinds of preparations, but he did not regret it.
Maybe his peeping over the years was a despicable act, but at least he was open and aboveboard at this moment.
Whoosh! The Dark Saint opened his palm, and an ancient silver mirror emerged.
It is only the size of a palm, the edges are silver, and the patterns contain the laws of nature.
When everyone looked at it, they saw that the mirror, under the control of the Dark Saint, reflected a ray of light, which was projected onto the immortal ruins on the holy land.
Afterwards, the Dark Saint locked the location. He knew those saints whose incense had been reduced, and he also knew the holy places where they were located.
Along with a silver light, a tragic scene suddenly emerged in the reflected light.
There were mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Everywhere were figures running and wailing. There were also many dead bodies with dim eyes, no injuries on their bodies, but their souls had been absorbed.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
The black fog filled and rolled, covering the sky. Under this fog, it was like purgatory.
When the saints saw this scene, their faces changed.
Li Hao also frowned when he saw in the projection that countless people were fleeing everywhere with fear written all over their faces.
The people couldn't understand why such a terrible demon suddenly appeared and killed people everywhere, while the saints who were worshipped and famous in the past suddenly disappeared and no one came to help or slay the demon.
In the black fog, a huge and ferocious figure was soaring. Li Hao recognized it at a glance. It was the ancient demon with whom he had fought before.
The other party was flying happily at the moment, constantly harvesting souls on the ground. From time to time, its huge body landed in the city and directly trampled countless people to death. Among them were the elderly and children, beggars and wealthy people, but there was no difference, they were turned into meat paste.
Seeing this brutal massacre, the saints all looked extremely ugly.
Li Hao's face quickly turned gloomy and he clenched his fists involuntarily.
Although he had accepted the fact that the gods would be massacred, when he actually saw the scene with his own eyes, he felt a burning, uncontrollable feeling of rage.
Those desperate and sad faces in despair are so touching.
And this is just a city. There are thousands or tens of thousands of them in a small world!
The imagined disaster and the shock seen with the naked eye are two completely different things.
"This beast!"
All the saints gnashed their teeth, feeling resentful and painful.
He was angry at the ancient demon, but at the same time he wanted to slap himself a few times.
"Um?"
The Dark Saint's expression suddenly changed.
The true immortal ancient demon in the projection seemed to have sensed the spying of the Sky-Viewing Mirror, and suddenly looked towards the projection, as if it had traveled through countless time and space, looking directly at Li Hao and the saints in front of the projection.
That pair of scarlet and cruel eyes startled all the saints.
"Oh no, it can sense us snooping!"
The Dark Saint's face suddenly changed. His imperial weapon was a three-tribulation imperial weapon, but it was not as good as the supreme treasure in terms of attack and defense. It had almost no relevant abilities except for spying and reflecting. However, his spying on the Supreme Saint was not discovered. He did not expect that the True Immortal Ancient Demon noticed it all at once.
The true immortal ancient demon in the projection seemed to open its mouth and roar, and then the projection was suddenly interrupted and disappeared. With a click, a crack appeared on the Sky-Reflecting Mirror, winding across the center of the mirror.
The Dark Saint picked up the mirror with a distressed look and touched the crack.
"Will it not be able to detect our location?" a saint asked in surprise.
The Dark Saint looked up and saw the other saints also showing such tension on their faces. He suppressed his distress and said, "No, the Dao Soul of the Sky Mirror just fell into a deep sleep. It told me before it fell asleep, and it blocked the other party's reverse detection."
After hearing his words, the saints breathed a sigh of relief.
"That was too risky."
"This is a true immortal, and cannot be easily spied on."
All the saints were still frightened and felt a wave of fear.
Li Hao's face was gloomy. He could not forget the scenes just projected.
Ten years, ten years later, the heavens should be reduced to ruins.
How many people would die tragically? The elderly, children, women, civilians, the emperor... all would die! Countless practitioners, who worked hard day and night to cultivate, longed to reach the top, longed to become saints, but were directly wiped out by this sudden catastrophe.
So unfair and cruel!
Li Hao was silent.
Do you really want to watch the heavens fall? He had accepted this fact before, but when he saw the tragic scene with his own eyes, he was shaken.
"Little Mouse, don't think too much. There's nothing we can do about it."
Feng Boping saw that Li Hao looked strange, and spoke quickly, his eyes full of worry.
The saints also saw Li Hao's expression, their faces changed slightly, and they hurried to comfort him, fearing that Li Hao would act impulsively.
Although they were also very angry just now, they calmed down at this moment.
Although Li Hao seemed to have calmed down, he was not at peace inside.
"ten years……"
Faced with the comfort of the saints, Li Hao felt that those voices were far away from him. They were clearly right next to his ears, but they seemed to be coming from a very long distance. He did not listen carefully, nor did he want to try hard to hear clearly. The sad and crying faces were echoing in front of his eyes.
After a long time, Li Hao took a deep breath, and the diaphragm beside his ear seemed to disappear. Many sounds suddenly came and became clear.
Li Hao looked at the nervous expressions of the saints. He smiled and then glanced at the holy land and the nine fairy islands. He said:
"This place can only last for ten years. I will try to find a way to make it last longer."
Feng Boping's face changed and he asked, "What are you going to do?"
Li Hao glanced at him, said nothing, and just smiled.
"Don't do anything stupid. If you die, we will lose all hope!"
Feng Boping noticed Li Hao's thoughts and suddenly became anxious.
Li Hao shook his head and said, "As long as we are not noticed by the True Immortals and Ancient Demons, we can take refuge here. It is an absolutely safe place. As long as the holy land can be maintained for a longer time, we can wait for reinforcements from outside the Immortal Gate, because the news here has already spread."
He thought of the woman with the red tasseled spear and Nangong Jian. Even if the woman with the red tasseled spear was unreliable, they had fought side by side for twelve years. Li Hao believed that Nangong Jian could be relied on. The other party had said that he would come back to pick him up, and he would definitely come back.
The saints realized what Li Hao wanted to do, and their faces changed drastically. The Dark Saint also felt a little regretful and said quickly: "Hao Tianzun, don't be impulsive. What if the reinforcements you mentioned can't come?"
Li Hao remained silent. Naturally, this was also a possibility. Various accidents prevented Nangong Jian from returning.
“I’m not impulsive.”
Li Hao took a deep breath and said slowly: "It just suddenly occurred to me that if this True Immortal Ancient Demon absorbed the souls of all living beings in the heavens, then it is very likely that it will undergo a transformation and it is possible to break through to the True Immortal!"
Hearing Li Hao's words, the saints were stunned and their faces lost all color.
"Why, how could this happen?"
"Could it be that it relies on absorbing souls to improve itself?" The Mage Saint couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
Li Hao nodded slowly. By absorbing the souls of all living things in the heavens, the strength of this True Immortal Ancient Demon might be raised to the level of a commander. At that time, unless he could break through to the level of a True Immortal within ten years, or even cultivate to the top level of a True Immortal, he would have a chance to compete with the Ancient Demon Commander. But this was just his estimate.
After all, Li Hao had never felt the gap between a true immortal and an immortal king, but the woman with the red tasseled spear was an immortal king, so it was no exaggeration to say that she could kill a true immortal instantly.
"this……"
All the saints were horrified. The hope they had just seen seemed to be shattered in an instant.
Li Hao didn't say anything more. He had to seize the time. Every minute and every second, this True Immortal Ancient Demon was killing and slaughtering. He had to find it as soon as possible.
Logically speaking, it would be most appropriate for him to take action now, because the opponent is getting stronger every moment.
But he couldn't abandon Feng Lao, Sword Master and many other good friends, as they were also his closest friends.
This battle is extremely dangerous and life and death are unpredictable.
And if he died in ten years, they would only be able to live for ten years, which was tantamount to a death sentence.
Therefore, Li Hao wanted to keep this holy land longer, regardless of whether Nangong Jian and the red tassel spear woman's reinforcements could catch up, at least it would last longer and there would be hope! This was also the only thing Li Hao could do his best to leave for them at this moment.
He walked out of the holy land, out of the barrier, and stood in the divine sun.
Standing here with his physical body, he also felt hot all over, but it was not unbearable.
He released his primordial spirit and absorbed the rich solar essence here to increase the power of his primordial spirit.
At the same time, while absorbing the essence of the sun, Li Hao was not idle either. He began to build the holy land again.
But this time, he did not use the previous method to build it, but chose to use an incredible method.
engraving.
And it was not about carving a holy land, but carving a cover that was large enough to surround the holy land and the nine fairy islands!
But such a cover would need to cover tens of billions of lives, which is so huge.
Li Hao sat cross-legged in the void, concentrating his thoughts, and began to think about how to start carving.
“Haotian…”
Lie Tiansheng and others looked at Li Hao's actions with grim expressions, and wanted to persuade him.
Feng Boping, on the contrary, remained silent. At this moment, he did not speak again.
He knew Li Hao's character too well, and he would not easily waver in his decision.
"Quickly persuade him, and we'll think of a solution."
"He just escaped and is going to continue fighting again? Isn't that like going to die?!"
The saints were also somewhat anxious. Although the situation described by Li Hao made them despair, they also felt that if Li Hao continued to fight, it would be no different from suicide and their hopes would be shattered.
"Don't disturb him, don't affect him, give him time, every second counts now."
Feng Boping turned around and spoke coldly to the saints.
The saints looked at him and were stunned. They saw a kind of sadness in the old man's eyes that was as quiet as a pond of dead water.
They were silent, feeling powerless as if they were drowning and struggling but still unable to get out.
In the void, as he was thinking, many thoughts surrounded his mind, the faces of the tragic dead, the ferocious blood eyes of the ancient demon, the words of the saints, the anxious and worried faces of Feng Lao and others... Li Hao slowly calmed his heart. He knew that the more it was at this moment, the less anxious he could be and the more he could not be distracted.
Distraction is the biggest time-waster and causes time to go to waste.
Soon, the many thoughts faded away and he sank to a depth in his heart, with only thoughts of carving and constructing remaining in his mind.
