"I figured he wouldn't skip out on this Dragon Python showdown."
The sisters from the Ghost Tribe shared a quick look, catching the delight sparkling in one another's gazes. Even though they hadn't spent much time with Li Hao, something about watching this peer of theirs clash against the elite geniuses filled them with a thrilling burst of satisfaction.
"You guys..."
Lin Zhexuan spotted how the Su Family sisters, along with Di Lincen of the Emperor Clan, were ready to hand over their Domain Artifacts to that young man without hesitation, and it shifted his face into a frown.
He failed to grasp what drew them to the kid. Normally, these folks didn't fawn over anyone, but around him, they all seemed eager to win his approval.
"Those four from the Chaos Ancient Clans in the Original Land possess no fewer than twelve Domain Artifacts. I hope he teams up with some allies..."
Su Wanqing glanced upward. After the first wave of astonishment passed, concern clouded her features.
The rest felt the same unease once they caught her words.
At that moment, Li Hao's form shot up the heavenly path with great speed.
Right as he stepped onto it, he sensed its profound wonder. Powerful Tao pressure filled the air, turning every stride into a tough effort—like scaling a frost-covered peak, where a chilling sensation that cut to the bone grew fiercer with altitude.
Moreover, intricate Tao patterns marked the ground every several hundred meters. When neared, they shimmered to life, shifting into fierce rules of decay and ruin. Lacking protection, anyone would get obliterated and scattered right there on the path.
Luckily, such rules and forces posed no challenge for him; just a simple flick of his sleeve scattered them away effortlessly.
While he rushed ahead, the ground patterns ignited, and the laws surged at Li Hao like roaring serpents.
Li Hao effortlessly unleashed a Chaos Law, cutting them down and overpowering them with superior rules.
Climbing higher, Li Hao gauged the path's intensity. By the time no other climbers appeared below his feet, the laws in front hit the level of fusing 20 Chaos Laws.
Even here, Li Hao encountered no additional figures.
He spread out his Divine Sense while pressing on with his ascent, quickly detecting signs of fights up ahead.
Li Hao held back none of his aura and charged straight onward.
As he got nearer, Li Hao recognized known faces: members of the Chaos Red Demon Clan, the earlier met Luo Ningshuang and Su Wanyi, plus the white-haired lady alongside the Divine Venerable.
Li Hao's abrupt arrival startled them all, their eyes widening in astonishment toward him.
"You... how dare you show up here?!"
Chi Yuan, locked in combat with Su Wanyi, froze at the sight of Li Hao appearing. His initial reaction was that this Human sought his own end; next, he wondered if the Divine Venerable had misled them.
Without a Domain Artifact, he actually tries to vie in this place?!
"How could the Dragon and Serpent clash proceed without my involvement?"
Li Hao caught the man's remark, let out a chilly laugh, scanned the group, and noting their intense fight, announced boldly:
"I'll take the lead then. Keep at it, everyone!"
In a flash, his body launched like a mighty roc unfurling its wings, leaping beyond the fighters in a single bound, racing toward the summit.
Witnessing Li Hao's daring push to climb first, Chi Yuan and the rest jolted from their daze into fury: "Halt him!"
"Take him down!"
Gu Xie bellowed savagely.
Spotting Li Hao's skillful footwork, Gu Xie skipped any chatter. He gathered the pressure from his Domain Artifact into a colossal peak hurled straight at Li Hao.
The strike probed if Li Hao really went without a Domain Artifact.
Confronting the assault, a icy glint flared in Li Hao's gaze. He whirled around abruptly; even as the Domain Artifact's Realm Power wrapped around him like countless peaks that could pulverize a typical Immortal Lord into dust, helpless against the rules, he raised his palm swiftly. Chaos Infinite Laws coalesced into a Fist Sword form, then 24 stacked Chaos Laws morphed into 24 sharp sword lights.
"Break!"
Li Hao launched his fist. The dense Realm Power met an unyielding barrier, ripping open in a burst. The sword lights clinging to his strike stayed fierce, blasting toward the Chaos Ancient Clan members.
With all rules uniting and karma flipping back, the sword lights appeared to stab right through the foe's torso, mirroring in their eyes.
Suddenly, three thousand sword lights echoed back, ripping the enemy's frame from the inside and even erasing their Primordial Spirit!
Despite the Domain Artifact's shroud, it failed to shield him—a fissure formed, letting karma force slip through for an immediate kill.
"You..."
Gu Xie's eyes shrank, an immense power wrapping him tight with no escape. Before burning his True God Blood, he burst apart right there, his Immortal Body and Primordial Spirit demolished, perishing on impact.
From afar, it looked like Li Hao had spun, delivered a fist, countered the Realm Power, and caused Gu Xie to detonate remotely.
"What just happened?"
The abrupt halt in the clash left Chi Yuan and the others staring in stunned silence, unable to believe their eyes.
Even with a Domain Artifact still active, Gu Xie got struck down from afar by Li Hao's single blow?
At this sight, Luo Ningshuang, Su Wanyi, and the rest halted their actions in astonishment, then a wave of fear crept in.
It dawned on them that Li Hao operated without a Domain Artifact, yet through pure power alone, he endured one?
Xue Consort stood rigid before the display, at a loss for words, frozen in position for the moment.
