"I figured he wouldn't skip out on this Dragon Python showdown."
The sisters from the Ghost Tribe shared a quick look, catching the delight sparkling in one another's gazes. Even though their connections with Li Hao weren't all that profound, something about watching this peer of theirs clash against the elite geniuses sparked a thrilling wave of satisfaction within them.
"You guys..."
Lin Zhexuan caught sight of the Su Family sisters, along with Di Lincen of the Emperor Clan, all ready to hand over their Domain Artifacts to that young man without hesitation, and his face twisted in response.
He failed to grasp what drew them to that kid so strongly. Normally, these folks didn't grovel to anyone, but around him, they scrambled to win his approval.
"Those four from the Chaos Ancient Clans in the Original Land possess no fewer than twelve Domain Artifacts. I hope he teams up with some allies..."
Su Wanqing lifted her head. After the first wave of astonishment passed, a shadow of anxiety crossed her features.
The rest felt the same unease after listening to her words.
At the same time, Li Hao's form shot up the heavenly path at breakneck speed.
Right upon stepping onto it, he sensed its profound wonder. Powerful Tao pressure filled the air, turning every stride into a grueling effort—like scaling an ice-covered peak, where a chilling frost that bit into the bones grew fiercer with each ascent.
On top of that, elaborate Tao patterns marked the ground every few hundred meters. Getting near them made the designs flare to life, shifting into vicious forces of decay and ruin. Lacking protection, anyone would get obliterated and scattered right there on the path.
Luckily, such forces and pressures posed no threat to him at all; with a simple flick of his sleeve, he brushed them aside effortlessly.
As he pressed on swiftly, the ground patterns ignited, and the laws surged at Li Hao like raging serpents.
Li Hao lightly unleashed a Chaos Law, cutting them down and overpowering them with superior laws.
Higher up the climb, Li Hao gauged the path's escalating power. By the time no other climbers remained in view below his feet, the laws confronting him had fused the might of 20 Chaos Laws.
Even here, Li Hao encountered no other souls.
He stretched out his Divine Sense while pushing onward, and before long, he detected signs of combat up ahead.
Li Hao made no effort to hide his presence and charged straight ahead.
As he neared, Li Hao recognized known figures—the Chaos Red Demon Clan, the earlier met Luo Ningshuang and Su Wanyi, and the white-haired lady alongside the Divine Venerable.
Li Hao's abrupt arrival startled these individuals, leaving them staring at him in astonishment.
"You... how dare you show up here?!"
Chi Yuan, locked in combat with Su Wanyi, froze at the sight of Li Hao emerging. His initial reaction was that this human sought his own end; his next was doubting if the Divine Venerable had misled them.
Daring to vie here without a Domain Artifact?!
"How could the Dragon and Serpent clash proceed without my involvement?"
Li Hao caught the man's remark, let out a chilly laugh, scanned the group, and noted their intense fight, then proclaimed boldly:
"I'll take the lead then. Keep at it, all of you!"
His body then launched skyward like a mighty roc unfurling its wings, leaping beyond the fighters in a single bound and racing higher.
Watching Li Hao audaciously attempt to surge ahead, Chi Yuan and the rest jolted back to fury and yelled: "Halt him!"
"Take him down!"
Gu Xie bellowed savagely.
Spotting Li Hao's skillful footwork, Gu Xie skipped the chatter. He gathered the oppressive force from his Domain Artifact into a colossal peak hurled straight at Li Hao.
This strike probed if Li Hao really went without a Domain Artifact.
Confronting the incoming assault, a icy glint ignited in Li Hao's eyes. He wheeled around abruptly; as the Domain Artifact's Realm Power crashed over him like countless peaks that would pulverize a typical Immortal Lord into dust, unable to endure the laws, he raised his palm without delay. Chaos Infinite Laws amassed like a Fist Sword, then 24 stacked Chaos Laws morphed into 24 razor-sharp sword rays.
"Break!"
Li Hao launched his fist. The dense Realm Power met an unyielding spike, ripping open in a flash. The sword rays clinging to his fist held their edge, blasting toward the Chaos Ancient Clan members.
All laws merged, karma flipped backward, the sword rays appeared to stab straight into the foe's torso, mirrored in their widened eyes.
In a blink, three thousand sword rays echoed back, shredding the enemy's form from the inside and even erasing their Primordial Spirit!
Even shrouded by a Domain Artifact, it failed to shield him—a fissure formed, allowing karma power to seep through and slay him outright.
"You..."
Gu Xie's eyes shrank, sensing a crushing might wrap around him, leaving no room to resist. Before he could ignite his True God Blood, he burst apart right there, his Immortal Body and Primordial Spirit demolished, perishing in an instant.
It looked as if Li Hao had pivoted, delivered a strike, countered the Realm Power, and caused Gu Xie to detonate from afar.
"What just happened?"
The abrupt hush in the skirmish stunned Chi Yuan and the others, their eyes bulging as they gaped in utter disbelief.
Even with a Domain Artifact still active, Gu Xie had fallen to Li Hao's distant blow?
Witnessing this, Luo Ningshuang, Su Wanyi, and the rest halted in stunned silence, then a chill of fear crept in.
They understood that Li Hao operated without a Domain Artifact, yet with pure power alone, he endured the assault of one?
Xue Consort stood rigid before the spectacle, at a loss for words, lingering motionless for the moment.
