Chapter 978: Chapter 204 Shattered Immortal Path, Emperor’s Calamity Fake Realm (10,000 more updates 1, asking for monthly passes)_2

“What are you doing?!”

Source Ancestor suddenly noticed Li Hao’s actions and his expression changed drastically.

Li Hao looked at him coldly and said, “Sorry, I never trusted any of you from the start.”

“His power is dissipating! He seems to have found a way to enter the door!”

At this moment, the Divine King also noticed the shifting aura of Li Hao. His face turned grim, and he roared furiously, radiating dazzling light as he charged toward Li Hao.

The Source Ancestor likewise erupted with a breathtaking energy. The Extreme Realm radiated fully from him and his body seemed to tear through the void, instantly appearing before Li Hao. The Sky Suppressing Whip in his hand lashed toward Li Hao’s body.

With a loud impact, Li Hao’s body was unable to dodge in time and was struck by the Sky Suppressing Whip, scattering apart.

Previously, Li Hao had consumed Huntian’s monstrous body, causing his physical form to grow and rival the strength of the Five Tribulation Emperor Weapon. Yet under the force of the Sky Suppressing Whip, it disintegrated instantly, unable to resist.

However, as a portion of his body scattered, another part of Li Hao’s corporeal form had already slipped through the opening, entering the doorway.

“Farewell, I’ll be back…”

As his body dissipated, Li Hao’s consciousness gradually dispersed, leaving behind only an echo.

The Divine King reached the doorway as Li Hao’s aura shattered entirely, ruined under the blows of the Sky Suppressing Whip. Yet they could sense that part of Li Hao’s body had already transitioned into the door. In his current state, he was gravely injured but far from dead—and he had already stepped onto the Immortal Divine Road.

“Damn it!”

The Divine King roared in fury, feeling utterly deceived.

“He won’t destroy the Immortal Path, will he?”

Source Ancestor’s face turned pale. That was the wish of countless eras—a reverent dream that could finally shake his composure. If Li Hao severed the Immortal Divine Road, the despair would be unbearable. He couldn’t contemplate such devastation.

The Divine King’s face darkened, almost as if water might drip from it, but he gave no response to Source Ancestor.

In this moment, how could he not understand? Just moments ago, Li Hao had firstly brought up the potential conflict between himself and Source Ancestor, giving them pause and securing time. Then, his transmission of the cultivation method had served the same purpose, earning yet more time. All the while, Li Hao had been stealthily transferring his body into the door.

Li Hao had never relied on them to survive.

Everything had been a delay—a strategy to occupy them, divert their focus.

They thought they had seen through Li Hao’s schemes, but they realized now they were on the second level while Li Hao was already operating on the third. Sёarch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Haotian…”

Ying Xiaoxiao froze in place, seemingly piecing together what had happened. She was a little stupefied, feeling both relieved and anxious, tension clawing at her heart.

The Ancestor, by all appearances, seemed thoroughly enraged.

“…”

Source Ancestor stared at the doorway, his face ashen. In all the eras that had passed, few things had shaken his psyche as intensely as this. A deep sense of regret surged within him—regret at not directly killing Li Hao earlier.

Even without the Sixth Extreme Realm Cultivation Method, spending more time and years would have meant he’d inevitably grasp its profundities. It was only a matter of time.

But now, if Li Hao severed the Immortal Divine Road, hope would be fully extinguished.

The Divine King raised his fist, wanting to smash it into the doorway, but he hesitated when recalling the earlier shockwaves. No longer striking, he suppressed his fury, though the rage simmering inside him only grew heavier.

“Damn it all!!”

He stomped forcefully, causing the surrounding starry sky to shudder faintly.

In the distance, Dragon Saint, cloaked in blood-red light, grinned coldly with perverse satisfaction. Yet thinking of Li Hao, the hatred in his heart reignited—why couldn’t these people perish together? Why couldn’t they all just die?

At this moment, waves of Saint-level auras rapidly approached.

Behind Ying Xiaoxiao, more and more Saints began gathering.

“What’s the situation?”

“The… starry sky?”

“That doorway…”

The arriving Saints saw the abnormalities present and, after entering the starry expanse through the fissures behind the sculptures, they were struck with awe.

Quickly, their attention shifted to the doorway standing amidst the stars, changing their shocked expressions into one of fervent excitement.

No doubt remained—that was the Immortal Divine Road!

“The Immortal Divine Road truly exists!”

“The aura emanating from within the doorway—I’ve never experienced anything like it.”

“Source Ancestor and Divine King are here as well. It seems we’ve found the right place.”

Many Saints converged, and amongst them, Sword Saint, Sword Master, Literary Saint, and others gathered as well.

Sword Master surveyed the area, taking in the sights with a hint of amazement. Soon enough, his attention was similarly drawn to the doorway.

Listening to the fervent discussions of those surrounding him, his gaze moved across the scene but lacked any sight of Li Hao, causing his brows to furrow slightly.

At that moment, several Supreme Saint auras appeared amidst the crowd. Name Saint, Mo Family Saint, and others of supreme rank had also arrived.

As more individuals gathered, Source Ancestor and Divine King’s expressions grew darker and heavier.

“Is this the Immortal Divine Road?”

Name Saint looked toward the doorway, his gaze shimmering. Turning to Source Ancestor, he asked, “Is there some hidden mystery? Why are the two of you hesitating here?”

He didn’t rashly try to open the door. For Source Ancestor and Divine King to linger meant trouble, some abnormality that could not be ignored.

The other Saints overhears and calmed themselves as well. All looked upon Source Ancestor and Divine King with suspicion—was there truly an obstacle here?

Neither Source Ancestor nor Divine King had the mood to respond, their faces instead darkened by rage.

Noting the scene, Dragon Saint sneered coldly and remarked, “This door cannot be touched unless one has mastered the Sixth Extreme Realm. That Haotian earlier already forced half his body into it. You all better not celebrate too early—he’s a ruthless one. If he severs the Immortal Divine Road, none of us will ever set foot upon it again!”

The Saints surrounding him froze upon hearing this, and their expressions shifted dramatically.

Mo Family’s Supreme Saint, Name Saint, Medical Saint, and others were momentarily dumbfounded. They immediately turned their gaze toward Source Ancestor and Divine King.

When they saw the two’s grim expressions, they instantly realized Dragon Saint’s words were no lie.
