Chapter 1268: Chapter 278: Immortal Seal Erupts (Part 2)
The power unleashed by Li Hao was also clearly seen by her. It wasn’t hidden cultivation but the mastery of a Final Realm power, combined with an understanding of the space origin that seemed to reach a highly profound level.
This is definitely a prodigy among the Human Race!
Her eyes flickered, and a plan suddenly formed in her mind. She did not flee towards another location through an opening but instead swiftly intervened, blocking the two Ancient Demon Commanders.
She understood that the two Ancient Demon Commanders attacked Li Hao only because they were concerned she might hand over that item to this human, allowing him to take it away, so they attempted to kill him.
Although the likelihood was extremely low, the cautious nature of both Ancient Demon Commanders still did not let them miss it.
Bang!
With the Ancient Demon Woman’s intervention, the assault directed at Li Hao was immediately stopped. The two Ancient Demon Commanders were both taken aback, expecting her to seize the chance to escape, and did not foresee her risking her life for a human.
This seemingly confirmed a certain suspicion.
That item truly might be on that human!
“Kill him!”
One of the Ancient Demon Commanders growled, saying, “I’ll hold her back!”
“Can you manage?”
“Stop wasting words. If we don’t get that item, we’re dead as well. We have no choice but to fight desperately!”
With two angry roars, both Ancient Demon Commanders were provoked further, attacking the Ancient Demon Woman and Li Hao respectively.
Though on the run, Li Hao did not expect the Ancient Demon Woman to be assisting him. However, upon seeing the two enraged Ancient Demon Commanders, he quickly deduced their intentions, lamenting at the unwarranted disaster.
No longer able to hide, he unleashed his full power in the Extreme Realm, revealing the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation, with all forces exploding to the peak.
“Die!”
The Ancient Demon Commander, like a roc spreading its wings, leaped across a million miles, catching up to Li Hao in an instant.
Li Hao’s expression changed drastically. The enemy’s cultivation was definitely not at the First Level of the Immortal Monarch Realm but possibly a master at the Fourth or Fifth Level of the Immortal Monarch Realm. The pressure was several times greater than the one pursuing him earlier.
A stark shadow of death loomed overhead, leaving Li Hao no time to hold back, as he tapped into his utmost power for the first time.
The Nine Flower Immortal Seal blossomed from his forehead, and radiant immortal light shone all around.
“Break!”
Li Hao roared, performing his strongest Only Me Swordsmanship.
The Sky, the Sword God, including the two Emperor Sword Intents he had perceived at the summit of Emperor Sword Mountain, instantly integrated into his Only Me Swordsmanship.
Taowu!
Li Hao’s mind called out, and Taowu swiftly soared into his hand. Sensing Li Hao’s massive battle intent and killing intent, Taowu, contrary to its fierce nature, transmitted a jittery voice:
“Master, that’s an Ancient Demon at the Seventh Level of the Immortal Monarch Realm, seemingly with powerful bloodline within the Ancient Demon!”
Li Hao hadn’t heard of any powerful bloodlines, but at this moment, he had no room to maneuver.
Slash!
Li Hao suddenly turned, the Nine Flower Immortal Seal rising into the sky, shining in the eyes of that Ancient Demon Commander in this desolate place.
The Ancient Demon Commander’s eyes shrank slightly, showing a look of shock; Nine Flower Immortal Seal, a pinnacle prodigy of the Human Race!
Shock flashed and disappeared as intense killing intent appeared in its eyes. Such a prodigy must die, whether they possess that item or not!
Bang, a booming sound, Sword Qi intersected, splitting the void, as the Nine Flower Immortal Seal continually spun, the nine origins of Tao power consolidating into this single sword strike!
The brilliance of this strike would cause even a First Level of the Immortal Monarch Realm to avoid its sharp edge.
A shadowy Yue Ying traced, and two extreme powers clashed suddenly in the void.
Li Hao felt his whole body slammed by a massive mountain, his bones aching as if shattered, his body flung away.
Amid the shock, the Ancient Demon Commander’s figure, filled with fierce killing intent, quickly attacked Li Hao.
On its chin was a blood trace, evidently wounded by Li Hao’s Sword Qi.
Having reached the pinnacle burst from the True Immortal Realm Third Level and wounding a Seventh Level of the Immortal Monarch Realm, even with Taowu’s help, was enough to shock the world!
Falling through the air, Li Hao saw the wound on the Ancient Demon Commander’s face, showing a bit of relieved satisfaction in his eyes. As the enemy approached, death loomed. Just as he was about to call upon Elder Wang, suddenly, a black light shot out from him.
Whoosh!
The black light, only the size of a thumb and not conspicuous at all, shot straight to the Ancient Demon Commander; then, a towering giant tower appeared out of the deep void beyond the black light.
The giant tower seemed to be drawn from deep space by that black light, emanating an ancient, desolate aura, carrying unimaginable oppression.
Bang!
The void around the giant tower vibrated slightly, as if entering a brief silence.
The Ancient Demon Woman and another Ancient Demon Commander in the distance, battling, felt this immense aura and looked over in horror.
When they saw the illusion of the giant tower, the Ancient Demon Woman’s pupils contracted, exclaiming, “Futu Emperor’s Heart Tower?!”
Another Ancient Demon Commander also seemed to recognize the original body of the giant tower, roaring in shock and rage, “Wasn’t that tower destroyed? The Emperor Heart annihilated, how is it here, how can it be!”
Amid their shock, the giant tower, like a towering emperor, overran the Ancient Demon Commander attacking Li Hao.
The Ancient Demon Commander stopped in horror, attempting to turn and flee but was already engulfed by the shadow of the tower, its Primordial Spirit exploding like a blast, dazed in place.
One hundred thousand years ago, that tower reverberated through the True Realm, known to all, deeply feared by the Ancient Demon Clan as their top emperors took action and destroyed it.
Unexpectedly, countless ages later, the shadow of this tower was drawn again from deep space, as if some force pulled it from the annals of time, once more becoming the Ancient Demon Clan’s nightmare!
Bang!
The Ancient Demon’s Primordial Spirit was suppressed by the giant tower, annihilated on the spot.
Its body turned into a corpse, pristine yet devoid of any life aura.
A Seventh Level Immortal Monarch Realm Ancient Demon powerhouse thus silently perished, without any struggle or resistance.
Li Hao stood dumbfounded, eyes exposing shock seeing this scene.
He recognized this tower vision, belonging to the Heart Inquiry Tower of Futu City!
And the black light, revealed to be the unremarkable iron piece Old Han had given him before his journey.
Yet, at the moment, that iron piece emitted concentrated black light, sharp as to cleave vision.
With the giant tower suppressing that Ancient Demon Commander, its body gradually faded, slowly sinking back into deep space.
The black light traced an arc, flying toward Li Hao, settling back into his hand, feeling somewhat cold.
Li Hao was stunned. He already knew that Old Han had a very close relationship with the Heart Inquiry Tower, but it seemed still somewhat beyond his expectations.
Could it be… Li Hao didn’t think deeply, tightening his grip on the iron piece, raising his gaze toward the Ancient Demon Woman and another Ancient Demon Commander.
At this moment, the woman and the Ancient Demon Commander returned to their senses.
Bang!
The Ancient Demon Woman launched a surprise attack, a light akin to a dark moon slicing down, severing one of the Ancient Demon Commander’s wings, then she turned without lingering to pursue Li Hao.
“Go!”
The Ancient Demon Woman quickly said, intending to grab Li Hao to leave.
Li Hao avoided her hand, saying, “Don’t drag me down. You go your way, we owe each other nothing.”
The Ancient Demon Woman was startled, hastily saying, “You can’t extricate yourself now. Do you think they’ll spare you? Look!”
Saying this, she pointed toward that Ancient Demon Commander.
Li Hao turned to see that the Ancient Demon Commander wasn’t pursuing, instead fleeing to another place, mastering the space origin power no less than Li Hao himself, quickly disappearing by escaping.
Li Hao’s face suddenly turned grim, staring at the Ancient Demon Woman, “You’ve harmed me!”
Seeing the anger and killing intent in Li Hao’s eyes, although under normal circumstances, even the Ancient Demon Clan would not dare treat her with such demeanor, at this moment she did not get angry but instead bitterly smiled:
“I’ve implicated you. Whatever compensation you want is fine. Let’s first leave here; it will surely report back, bringing more next time.”
Li Hao eyed her, unsure if the iron piece could still work. If relying solely on himself, even if wanting to kill her, seemed beyond his ability.
He snorted coldly, “Then let’s return, back to the Immortal Army.”
He didn’t yet expose her identity as an Ancient Demon, taking advantage of the situation.
The Ancient Demon Woman, upon hearing this, let out a sigh of relief. Her previous assistance had multiple considerations, one of which was recognizing Li Hao as a Human prodigy; if she leveraged this relationship, she could certainly delve deep into the Human realm.
