Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1771 Chapter 454: Final Realm vs. Destiny_2

"Ahhhh!!"

Within the Taowu Immortal Sword, the beast Sword Soul erupted with a roar, its cry as fierce as the howl of a lion-dragon as it collided with the massive palm.

The overwhelming Palm Force crashed down like the combined might of heavens' gods and demons, causing immediate fractures to spiderweb across the sword's blade!

Despite finally unleashing its maximum power after a long period, the Taowu Immortal Soldier was unable to endure the Divine Venerable's strike; the blade began to shatter!

Yet, the power of destiny suddenly wreathed the weapon, instantly slicing through the colossal palm. It dismantled the twenty-four threads of divine and demonic force within, employing the laws of causality to break their fusion into twenty-four distinct parts before severing them one by one.

This entire sequence occurred in a heartbeat. The crimson sword light tore through the giant palm without losing speed. Guided by the threads of causality, it struck the Divine Venerable's head directly, piercing it once more and causing an explosion of Divine Blood that filled the sky.

"Such power!"

Watching from afar, the girl holding the umbrella murmured in shock; the combat prowess displayed by both warriors had surpassed her wildest dreams.

Xue Consort’s expression also became heavy. The Divine Venerable had never shown this Final Realm power before; its magnitude was unexpectedly terrifying.

He truly lived up to his past life as a Quasi-Emperor Realm expert. She herself had not even mastered this Third Final Realm, yet her opponent had likely mastered more than just this single Ultimate Realm power!

"Hmm?"

Li Hao assumed that single sword strike would be enough to end the Divine Venerable, but he quickly noticed that his foe was as resilient as an immortal cockroach, his head regenerating in a mere instant.

"How can this be happening?"

Li Hao’s pupils contracted slightly as a wave of shock hit his heart. If the first time was a fluke, it was now truly unbelievable that the opponent’s physical form could still recover after being struck down by the Power of Destiny.

It was well known that his Destiny Power could suppress blood-drop regeneration, yet it appeared completely ineffective against the Divine Venerable.

"This is destiny!"

As the Divine Venerable’s head finished healing, he stared at Li Hao with equal amazement.

He hadn't sensed it clearly before, but that last sword strike was unmistakable—it was definitely the power of destiny!

Pulled by the threads of fate, it was an attack that could not be dodged; once the sword was swung, the hit was guaranteed!

However, fate had long been obscured and lost to the world, with no one left capable of understanding it. How could Li Hao have glimpsed fate, let alone comprehended it?

A thought of his master suddenly crossed his mind. Only the inheritance his master left behind, which passed down a lifetime of knowledge, could have allowed Li Hao to grasp the essence of destiny.

"Damn it!"

He squeezed his hand into a fist, his gaze becoming more ferocious as the All Heavens Star Vein manifested behind him—this was the power of his Second Ultimate Realm.

Combined with the First Ultimate Realm Divine Blood he had already revealed, his aura reached a staggering level of intensity.

Yet, even with these three Ultimate Realms, he still found himself unable to defeat Li Hao.

"So what if you wield destiny? So what if you have refined twenty-four Chaos Laws? I will still kill you today!"

Divine Flame erupted from the Divine Venerable's entire body, and a brilliant Divine Power manifested on his forehead like a single drop of Divine Blood.

Above his head, a phantom of the Divine Soul appeared. It was no longer a standard Divine Soul, but rather the True God form that a Divine Soul reaches in the Final Realm!

True God Final Realm!

However, the True God he displayed was not yet in its perfected state; it indicated only that he had managed to condense True God Blood.

Li Hao observed his foe and noted that while the man had reached the True God Final Realm, the True God Blood within him seemed to consist of only two or three hundred drops—far less than what Li Hao possessed.

It was clear that despite reincarnating with the combat knowledge and techniques of his previous life, True God Blood still had to be painstakingly cultivated from scratch in this lifetime.

Swish!

Just as Li Hao prepared to use the overwhelming Control Force of his own True God Blood, the Divine Venerable’s form blurred and vanished. Every trace of his presence and his laws disappeared instantly.

While Li Hao was momentarily stunned, the opponent suddenly materialized behind him. It was similar to a space jump from the Returning Ruins Extreme Realm, but it was far swifter, quieter, and more lethal.

A divine spear lunged forward, imbued with the power to erase Chaos Law.

With no time to defend, Li Hao’s chest was impaled. His Heavenly and Earthly body felt as though it was being unmade; his Divine Blood began to rot and vanish rapidly!

Even the True God Blood in his veins was caught in the destruction, suffering constant damage. In a flash, he lost more than a hundred drops!

If this continued, his life force would be completely drained. This spear was truly devastating!

"Time, reverse!"

In that critical moment, Li Hao triggered the power of the Eight Layer Time Origin, forcing the space-time surrounding him to rewind.

Even though the Divine Venerable was in the Perfect Immortal Monarch Realm with unstoppable momentum, he was forced back by the power of the reversal.

Had it been only the Seventh Time Origin, Li Hao wouldn't have been able to affect him, as he realized his opponent also possessed Seventh Realm Time Origin Power.

But the Eight Layer Time Origin was enough to suppress the Divine Venerable.

As time flowed backward, his destroyed Heavenly Immortal Body was mended instantly. The lost True God Blood was fully restored, and it was as if the injury had never occurred.

"How is this possible?!"

The Divine Venerable was forced back to his starting position, his eyes wide with unconcealed terror.

Eight Layer Time Origin?!

Time was notoriously the most difficult Dao to master. How could someone in the Immortal Monarch Realm already reach the Eighth Origin?

He suddenly looked toward Sister Shi Miao, who was standing with Li Hao.

The answer became clear in his mind.

Yes, back in the Sect, he had frequently sought Sister Shi Miao's guidance regarding the Time Origin Dao.

Since Sister Shi was now on Li Hao's side, she must have taught him as well.

A wave of fury and jealousy washed over him. Whether it was his master or his sister, they had all given their best gifts to this brat.

"Curse it! Even with the memory inheritance lock, the Immortal Monarch Realm should only be able to awaken the Nine Orders and the Seventh Origin Realm. That is already the peak of what is possible, yet this kid managed to grasp the Eighth Origin while still an Immortal Monarch. It makes no sense!"
