Ch-1280: Immortal Merit Accounting (Part 2)
He chased after, not even sparing a glance at Li Hao.
But as he passed by, he casually unleashed a dark blade that slashed towards Li Hao in an instant.
Li Hao’s expression changed slightly, the Extreme Realm within him erupted instantly, his bones crackling as he performed Fatian Xiangdi, drawing immortal power from All Heavens Stars, pushing the Ancestor Immortal Body to its limit, and raised his hand to strike out a sword aura in response.
Bang!
The sword aura shattered, seemingly devoured by the immortal path laws embedded within that blade, breaking soundlessly.
Yet, the dark blade was also affected, dimming slightly before crashing into Li Hao’s Heaven and Earth Invincible Fist.
The invincible punch’s force was obliterated by the laws, the fist split open, extending from the arm bone all the way to the shoulder, only then did the blade’s remaining force gradually dissipate.
With just a casual blow, Li Hao was nearly plunged into a life-and-death predicament, this was because the True Immortal Realm Third Level cultivation he exhibited confused the opponent, preventing them from exerting too much strength.
This Reincarnation King Clan of the Ninth Level of Immortal Monarch Realm was stronger than any Ancient Demon Li Hao had encountered before; as he watched the silhouette of the opponent disappearing behind the sea of flames, his brows furrowed, suddenly feeling a tinge of worry, uncertain whether the guy could escape.
However, considering the opponent was also an Ancient Demon, even if they died, it had nothing to do with him.
Just before leaving, the opponent revealed that dark lozenge, clearly the reason they were being hunted, choosing to not implicate him at this moment, using him as a shield to buy time, unexpectedly lightened Li Hao’s prejudice against them a bit.
“Pray for your own good fortune…”
Li Hao muttered, withdrew his gaze, and looked towards the vast border battlefield.
Countless immortal techniques erupted, battling against Ancient Demons, the silhouettes of disciples from various sects were revealed amidst the chaos.
True Immortals perished every moment; Li Hao thought maybe he should call Elder Wang over.
With Elder Wang, an Immortal King, joining the battle, it would surely be quelled quickly, reducing casualties.
However, Elder Wang was pursuing the reincarnated body of Shi Miao, the former direct disciple of his master’s master, Ying Xiaoxiao, uncertain of the situation; summoning him rashly might undo all previous efforts…
Yet pondering over it, Li Hao still decided to call him back, as human lives were at stake.
Just as he was about to speak, suddenly a violent roar sounded overhead.
Immediately, a pitch-black cloud spilled out across the sky, briefly suspended at high altitude, then quickly expanded, unexpectedly a massive black demon blood.
A dark beam of light fled away from the demon blood, flickering continuously, disappearing into the battlefield in the blink of an eye, like a beam shooting straight into the distant starry sky, vanishing in an instant, leaving no time to react.
As the dark light vanished, a towering figure descended from high above, with a gigantic Dharma Aspect standing behind, surrounded by waves like an ocean, seeming to drown the entire battlefield.
The imposing figure before the Dharma Aspect was an elder; despite his age and snow-white hair, he possessed an aura of swallowing the heavens and earth.
In his withered hands, he held a severed wing, gazing at the fleeing Ancient Demon King; both in the King Realm, the difference in strength was slight, yet the opponent’s escape made pursuit difficult.
He retracted his gaze and turned to look at the battlefield, instantly discerning the situation.
Humph!
He scoffed coldly, raising his hand to summon his Immortal Country to suppress.
No more King Realm among the Ancient Demon Tide, he could now act as he pleased; with the suppression of the Immortal Country, a large number of Ancient Demons perished instantly, without time for screams or resistance.
Those Ancient Demons in the Ninth Level of Immortal Monarch Realm felt the terrifying pressure, horrified and desperate, realizing the battle was lost, roaring as they exploded, breaking free from their opponents in front, fleeing frantically.
Yet their escape was no match for the speed of the Immortal King’s Immortal Country; quickly enveloped and crushed, only a few Ancient Demons in the Immortal Monarch Realm at the outer edges of the battlefield managed to escape.
The battlefield’s situation reversed rapidly, the Human Race’s battlefield immediately sounded the counterattack horn, and the Ancient Demon Tide fell into panic and chaos, fleeing everywhere.
Seeing the chaotic advantageous situation, Li Hao immediately dismissed the thought of calling Elder Wang, not wasting any time, quickly joined the feast of hunting Ancient Demons.
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
“Don’t let them escape, leave none alive!”
Throughout the battlefield were shouts of charging and killing, after months of arduous battle, at this moment it was about to end, everyone saw that the Ancient Demon Tide had collapsed.
With the Human Race’s morale soaring, the commanders of Ancient Demons in the Immortal Monarch Realm were furious and terrified, escaping, afraid of being targeted by that elder high above.
Li Hao appeared at the rear of the Ancient Demon Tide, as these Ancient Demons surged in retreat, Li Hao was like a sword cutting through the reverse flow, swiftly slaughtering the fleeing Ancient Demons.
He unleashed his Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation, summoned Taowu, revealing an immortal body of ten thousand meters, continually slaughtering the Ancient Demons around him.
The Ancient Demons were furious, wanting to fight Li Hao, but the retreat was a foregone conclusion, disinterested in battle, chased and slaughtered by Li Hao, only a few escaped.
Li Hao collected all the slain Ancient Demon corpses into Heaven and Earth Space, rapidly accumulating; the True Treasure Immortal Sword in his hand was becoming blunt from the incessant slaying, soaked in blood like a God of Slaughter on the battlefield.
Many Tiger Lion Army members pursuing the Ancient Demons were shocked at Li Hao’s speed and might in slaying, amazed who this powerful individual from which sect could be so terrifying!
With the Ancient Demon Tide in large-scale collapse, Li Hao slayed all the way, following the Tiger Lion Army, pursuing the fleeing Ancient Demons to the chaotic Star Domain before halting.
Beyond was where Ancient Demons frequently appeared, possible ambushes could be hidden; the army paused, then at the boundary line of this chaotic Star Domain, cheers and roars spread, proclaiming the victory of this war.
“The gains this time will be enough to last for years…”
Li Hao glanced at the Heaven and Earth Space, showing a satisfied smile, then looked at the remnant Ancient Demon soldiers fleeing to the chaotic Star Domain, reluctant but ultimately chose to return home, avoiding further complications.
Along the way, he didn’t see Mi Xueyao’s corpse, uncertain of her condition.
Li Hao shook his head, not dwelling further on it.
Returning with the army, in the sky, the silver-haired, black-armored youth and the pupil-eyed woman approached the elder.
“Heavenly Master, are you alright?”
The pupil-eyed woman asked with concern.
The elder gently raised his hand, expressing he was fine, then scanned the battlefield with a light laugh, “This battle went smoother than I anticipated; Emperor Qiu was severely injured by me, won’t recover for hundreds of years, unfortunate I couldn’t keep him here.”
“If not for Heavenly Master’s cunning plan, it wouldn’t have been possible to lure him out; the guy hid too deep.”
The silver-haired, black-armored youth said.
The elder’s eyes slightly twinkled, saying, “If not for an insider, I would not have known he would personally act; estimating he wanted to assassinate you during this battle, also a considerable blow to our Human Race.”
Hundreds and thousands of years of battle; the engagements between the Ten Thousand Clans in the True Realm and Ancient Demons totally abandoned the idea of a decisive victory, it’s an unattainable goal, can only mutually exhaust and nibble away until reaching a certain point then launch a grand offensive, ultimately deciding the victory.
Upon hearing the elder’s words, the two were slightly silent; as generals of the Human Race border defense, having cultivated for tens of thousands of years, strong individuals like them were birthed over at least ten thousand years, absorbing many precious resources to nurture, during the years of battle falls, each high position Immortal Monarch Realm powerhouse was a cornerstone among the Human Race.
“Let’s go, review the casualties; that sneaky attack from the Peacock Army didn’t end disastrously, I can report good news to King Zhao…”
The elder smiled, his gaze swept the battlefield; despite the few numbers among the Peacock Army, they were exceptionally conspicuous.
“Hmm.”
Upon hearing, the two nodded, accompanying the elder back.
The horn sounded, the army withdrew from the chaotic Star Domain edge.
Li Hao followed the army back to the city, returning to the Wildfire Army Camp.
Along the way, encountered warriors from various camps; some mourned, shedding tears for fallen comrades, some calculated their immortal merits, shouted in surprise, evidently gained considerable gains from this battle.
When Li Hao returned to the Wildfire Army Camp, entering the courtyard, saw Shi Tianjin and others already there, evidently returned earlier, not chasing as deep as Li Hao did.
