Golden divine blood sprayed fiercely from Qin Tianchen's neck.
At this moment, though still in his Divine Force state, Qin Tianchen’s head was brutally shattered by a single punch from Li Hao!
The scene left the crowd near the cliff utterly silent.
Among them, a few figures of exceptional stature were stricken speechless with shock, unable to believe what they had just witnessed.
The youth’s treasured robe was in tatters, and he wielded a silver sword, enduring the onslaught of two Absolute Technique Stage experts. Though several wounds appeared on his body, they quickly healed, showcasing an astonishing regenerative ability.
The Sacred Heart Talisman, which stood as a barrier before Qin Tianchen, failed to block Li Hao’s strike. While the talisman was indeed formidable, comparable to the power of the Dao Heart Realm, it fell short of containing the might Li Hao unleashed. Even the rarer and more refined Sacred Heart Talismans, said to rival the strength of a Reverse Fate Realm cultivator's full-force attack, would not have been able to withstand it.
After all, the talisman was just a charm, not a Sacred Heart Treasure.
“Young Master!”
Two elders, witnessing Qin Tianchen’s grievous injury, roared in panic. They unleashed the Qin Family’s secret techniques, their auras surging dramatically to the Absolute Technique Stage's pinnacle. Two simultaneous techniques struck directly at Li Hao.
Li Hao’s aura intensified, determined to finish off the young master of the Qin Family.
Boom!
Sword waves churned as Li Hao’s attack swept out, slamming into the elders’ bodies.
Despite his head being severed, Qin Tianchen's physical body was incredibly resilient. In his Divine Force state, the blood gushing from his neck soon stopped, and his head began regenerating.
His divine soul, nestled within his flesh, dared not emerge. Watching Li Hao’s frenzied charge, Qin Tianchen trembled inwardly. Was this man seeking mutual destruction?
“Reverse Fate!”
Overcome with grief and fury, Qin Tianchen roared, unleashing his Reverse Fate Power.
In the void, the force of his power caused shockwaves, accelerating the attacks of the two elders. Just as Li Hao’s sword qi was about to completely obliterate Qin Tianchen’s body, the accelerated strikes landed on him.
Bang!
Li Hao was sent hurtling down like a cannonball, crashing violently into the ground below.
The earth fractured, and the surrounding hills quaked as though struck by a million-ton boulder.
But the next moment, the ground exploded. Bathed in divine flames, Li Hao crawled out of the crater. His broken treasured robe was soaked in golden divine blood, but his wounds had already healed.
What a monstrous body!
The onlookers were horrified. This youth’s physique was like a top-tier divine weapon, impervious even to the combined might of Absolute Technique Stage experts!
To make matters worse, the aura he emanated was only at the Three Immortals Realm!
A genius of the God Race!
At this realization, the crowd collectively held their breath. Li Hao’s earlier declaration echoed in their minds. Could it be true? Was there truly an ancient God Race hidden deep within the Great Wilderness Heaven?
“This... this didn’t kill him?!”
The two elders were stunned to see Li Hao rise so swiftly. Their attacks, potent and fearsome, had failed to subdue this youth.
“Young Master, run!”
One elder suddenly snapped out of his daze, urging with urgency.
The other elder’s expression also changed. At this point, the ferocity Li Hao displayed had shattered their understanding. If the fight dragged on, who knew what trump cards Li Hao might reveal? With Qin Tianchen’s Reverse Fate Power spent, it was unwise to linger.
“I, Qin Tianchen, swear not to rest until I kill you!”
Regaining clarity, Qin Tianchen glared at the youth, imprinting his face deeply into his Dao Heart.
Having lost his younger brother and nearly a life of his own, his heart seethed with rage. Yet, as a prodigy, he suppressed his fury.
Without hesitation, he enveloped his headless body with his divine soul and fled into the distance.
One elder covered his retreat, while the other charged at Li Hao.
“Die!”
The elder’s veins burst as his divine soul ignited, unleashing the Qin Family’s secret techniques. His body blazed like a radiant sun, exuding power that swept across the battlefield.
Li Hao’s expression shifted slightly. Although eager to pursue Qin Tianchen, he couldn’t ignore the elder blocking his path. The dying retaliation of an Absolute Technique Stage expert from the Ancient Holy Clans was something he had to take seriously.
...
Li Hao channeled the Earth and Heaven Meridian, drawing upon the power of the world. He pushed his control to forty percent, causing his muscles to swell to their limit.
If he reached fifty percent, his flesh would start to crack.
Boom!
Launching himself skyward, Li Hao clashed with the elder in a fierce battle.
Lightning and flames intertwined as sword qi surged into the heavens.
The earth-shattering fight forced the crowd near the cliff to scatter, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
After half a stick of incense, the elder’s burning divine soul and blazing veins began to wane. His power had been exhausted.
With his robes torn and body drenched in blood, the elder's once-formidable presence now seemed feeble and aged. His eyes, however, glimmered with bitter resentment and fear.
Li Hao, though bloodied, showed no wounds. Even the gashes inflicted during the fight had already healed, his regenerative abilities proving terrifyingly strong.
Panting slightly, the elder unleashed his Undying Force for one final effort. The battle reduced nearby peaks to rubble and left the ground riddled with deep craters.
In the end, his strength gave out, and Li Hao cleaved him in two with a single strike.
The Flowing Silver Divine Sword, an Eight-Forged Divine Weapon, was now riddled with nicks, its blade battered and incomplete.
Li Hao held the broken sword in hand and cast the True Demon Art of Spirit Sacrifice. Without hesitation or concealment, he openly absorbed the elder's flesh essence, converting it into vital energy to strengthen himself.
As the elder’s body withered and turned gray, Li Hao casually crushed it into ash with a palm strike, erasing any trace of its existence to prevent the secrets of his technique from being exposed.
Having dealt with the elder, Li Hao turned his gaze toward the crowd at the cliff.
That single glance made the distant onlookers feel as though their hearts had stopped.
This youth was utterly ruthless. He had killed Qin Tianchen’s younger brother, mortally wounded Qin Tianchen himself, and even eliminated an elder at the Absolute Technique Stage from the Qin Family. His terrifying ferocity was unmatched.
Moreover, Li Hao's aura grew stronger the more he fought, a phenomenon the crowd couldn’t comprehend.
It was as though his body was a bottomless abyss, gaining power with every battle and exhibiting an indomitable presence like that of a primordial beast.
Li Hao gradually restrained his Divine Force and emerged from his Transcendent State. A dull ache and swelling coursed through his body, but his flesh quickly healed itself, dissipating any discomfort.
Holding the broken sword, he stepped toward the cliff.
With each step, the spectators’ hearts seemed to tremble in unison.
Unable to endure the mounting pressure, someone finally turned and fled, desperate to spread the news: a genius of the God Race had appeared in the Great Wilderness Heaven!
"That secondary blood form, condensed by the Scarlet Blood Vine Demon King's essence, would be a tremendous boon to you," Ji Yunge’s voice transmitted directly to Li Hao’s mind as he emerged from his hidden observation.
Though the battle had concluded, Ji Yunge offered no commentary on Li Hao's clash with Qin Tianchen. Instead, he seemed to be pondering something else entirely.
Li Hao glanced toward the cave in the cliff face, where a scarlet vine lay motionless.
Following Li Hao's gaze, the others also looked toward the cave. A few men and women of exceptional stature hesitated, their expressions flickering with uncertainty.
It was clear to them that the Scarlet Blood Vine Demon King had just given birth to a secondary blood form and was now in a weakened state.
Yet none dared make a move with this youth standing at the cliff.
The Qin Family’s Absolute Technique Stage elder had been slain, and unless their strongest core members arrived, none of the gathered families and tribes would dare challenge Li Hao.
What frightened them even more was the name Li Hao had invoked earlier.
The God Race of the Great Wilderness!
It was unheard of.
If this youth alone was so formidable, what terrifying power would his elders command if they appeared?
Seeing that no one dared act, Li Hao didn’t hesitate. He used his Object Manipulation ability to extend his reach into the cave.
Within the cavern, a three-zhang-long blood-red vine rested beside the thicker primary vine of the Scarlet Blood Vine Demon King.
Sensing Li Hao's approach, the blood-red vine lifted its body like a venomous serpent. A pleading voice reached Li Hao’s ears.
“Young one, I beg you, spare my blood form. You can consume my main body instead—it holds power no less potent than that of my blood form. I only wish to leave this place…”
Li Hao raised an eyebrow slightly. That mournful tone—it was the voice of the Scarlet Blood Vine Demon King?
“Why shouldn’t I take both?” Li Hao countered.
“If you do, though I may not be able to defeat you, I will make my main body self-destruct and shred my blood form before you can claim it. This way, you’ll gain nothing!”
The Scarlet Blood Vine Demon King’s voice carried a hint of despair, revealing its readiness for a suicidal retaliation.
Li Hao’s eyes flickered. This made acquiring the blood form more troublesome than he had anticipated.
