Chapter 1498  Chapter 369: Sword Dao Peak Showdown (Part 2)

Seeing Li Hao’s gaze, a slight indifference appeared in the calm eyes of the Heavenly Palace Venerable, as if penetrating the youth’s heart. He slowly said:

“If you can truly withstand ten moves from Sword Heart, I can pardon your crime. As for whether you can leave safely, it depends entirely on yourself.”

Hearing these words, Li Hao slightly frowned, sensing some trickery in the words, but before he could think it through, Sword Heart beside him already angrily said:

“Come on, as you wish, I will satisfy you!”

As he spoke, his long black hair flew, and an astonishing aura emanated from his entire body, a sword-shaped Nine Flower Immortal Seal appearing on his forehead.

The immortal seal was sword-shaped, with nine flowers at the sword’s edge, looking extremely radiant and sharp!

Watching the imposing Sword Heart, everyone was shocked.

The opponent having a Nine Flower Immortal Seal was no surprise to the crowd, as it exuded the breath of the Nine Orders Dao Origin, just like Li Hao’s, given this was the basic requirement for a Supreme’s direct disciple.

However, the imposing pressure the opponent was currently unleashing shocked countless people. Was this the immortal power endowed in the True Immortal Realm?

On the mountaintop, Ghost Ling Yue and Shen Wuji, who were defeated by Li Hao earlier, both changed their expressions, and their eyes suddenly focused.

The monstrous talents from other great clans also changed their expressions or looked heavy-hearted, realizing how terrifying Sword Heart was now. Probably, anyone below the third level of the Immortal Monarch Realm could be slain with a single sword!

The contestants in the Immortal Monarch Realm nearby also changed colors, not expecting such a terrifying guy to exist even within the True Immortal Realm!

Li Hao looked at Sword Heart, his eyes narrowing slightly. The immortal power the opponent was displaying was incomparably thick, making him feel suppressed, stronger than he had imagined! Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn n0velfire.net

Both being perfect in the True Immortal Realm tenth realm, and both having Nine Order Immortal Seals, the immortal power held should be the same by logic.

But Li Hao felt the opponent’s immortal power was denser than his, even twice as thick!

He suddenly thought of the Original Secret Realm and his cultivation during this period, where his immortal power had gradually condensed from a misty state.

At this moment, the immortal power within Sword Heart seemed to be in an extremely viscous state, refined to an even purer extent!

“How strong!”

“Is this what it means to be a direct disciple of the Supreme?”

“My heavens, I am in the Immortal Monarch Realm, yet I feel I am no match for him!”

“Seems that Haotian angered him.”

“Ten moves, can he really withstand them? I feel like maybe not even through three moves!”

Everyone discussed in whispers.

Initially thinking that the test given by the Supreme to a disciple was to withstand three moves from Sword Heart, many felt Haotian could manage it based on his displayed strength. But now, they found it very difficult, perhaps even impossible!

“Initiate the array!”

Sword Heart coldly cast a glance at Li Hao, speaking as if his voice were made of ice, addressing it to the Immortal Guard Commander above.

The Immortal Guard Commander didn’t mind his tone and quickly opened the Sealing Array Barrier.

Whoosh!

Sword Heart disappeared instantly, appearing on the Emperor Platform, turning to stare at Li Hao, “Come over!”

His voice was like a command, carrying intense killing intent.

Li Hao glanced momentarily, retrieving his gaze, and cupped hands towards the Heavenly Palace Venerable before him, saying, “Thank you, Supreme, for granting it!”

He was courteous and restrained, but in the eyes of everyone, this youth seemed mad!

The Supreme indeed agreed, but Sword Heart was the Supreme’s direct disciple, while Li Hao earlier was just an ordinary disciple of the Heavenly Calamity Immortal Emperor. Besides, even if Li Hao lied, that Immortal Emperor had long since fallen, leaving only a legacy; how could it compare to the true teachings of an Immortal Emperor?

“Quickly go!”

Ming Yue coldly urged Li Hao, having no fondness towards him.

Li Hao ignored her, thanked gracefully, and then flew towards the Emperor Platform.

During this swift flight, his entire body’s immortal power was gradually accumulating, adjusting.

Once he entered the Emperor Platform, the Sealing Array Barrier quickly closed and converged, turning the Emperor Platform into a beast cage-like arena, leaving only Sword Heart’s eyes filled with cold light in front.

Li Hao was not affected by the killing intent in the opponent’s eyes but rather took a deep breath, slowly.

He felt the previous clamor by his ear turn silent in no time.

Only the heart in his chest beat violently, and the Divine Blood within his body rushed vigorously!

He closed his eyes, adjusting his entire body, knowing this battle was the toughest and strongest he had encountered since arriving in the True Realm.

The opponent, although in the same realm, was the strongest True Immortal Realm he met.

A slight mishap, and he could be defeated, for the opponent possessed the Ancient Sword Immortal Body, recognized as the strongest Sword Dao physique in the True Realm.

Plus, being the Supreme’s direct disciple, countless innate treasures and world-altering opportunities unattainable by commoners were at his fingertips!

Even if he had a panel, accelerating his cultivation time, it barely matched the opponent’s advantage.

But, in this battle, there was no way to retreat!

He must win, and can only win!

He asked for this not because of any deep affection for his master, the Heavenly Calamity Immortal Emperor, unwilling to let go of his disciple identity.

Rather, he felt that even if he passed the test and became a disciple under the Heavenly Palace Venerable, life would not be any better.

After all, a direct disciple was just someone with potential to inherit the lineage, not an indispensable treasure.

For an Immortal Emperor, basically, nothing is indispensable, and even if there were, it wouldn’t be something a direct disciple could compare to.

Soon, many thoughts cleared from his mind.

Li Hao knew, in this battle, he could not be distracted and must give his all!

As his eyes opened, the whole world seemed to emerge from darkness, presenting before him the young man with sharp, icy eyes filled with sword intent, and the vastness of the Emperor Platform.

“Are you ready?”

Sword Heart asked coldly.

Though he bore a killing intent, he did not rashly strike, he wanted the opponent to lose clearly, utterly, without a chance for survival.

Li Hao nodded slightly, and immediately, his internal immortal power surged, the entire All Heavens Star Vein operating at its utmost, tendrils reaching from his back, forming an All Heavens Star Map that lit up!

That star map extended like veins, like the legs of a spider, stretching into the void, radiant with light.

As the light flowed around the sword’s body, this uniquely shaped sword inherited Li Hao’s Dao Heart, his conviction!

As the sword materialized with a glowing body, Li Hao’s internal immortal power was no longer hidden, freely erupting at this moment.

The force of his body surged, and the Saint Body Dharma Aspect became visible as Fatian Xiangdi formed behind him.

His power was terrifyingly impressive compared to when he previously defeated Shen Wuji!

“Damn scoundrel!”

Shen Wuji paled at the sight of Li Hao’s display, realizing that he hadn’t even fully unleashed his immortal power before.

He lightly said, “So, this is the Nine Order Immortal Seal’s power; indeed, it’s exaggerated within the same realm.”

Ghost Ling Shuang squinted her eyes and said to Ghost Ling Yue, who was focusing on Sword Heart, “Sister, that guy is also a True Immortal Realm, but it seems his immortal power is almost ready to reach the Immortal Monarch Realm.”

“He’s a monster; why doesn’t he advance to the Immortal Monarch Realm instead?”

Ghost Ling Shuang replied lowly, her gaze unusually serious.
