Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1814 Chapter 474: Outburst

"Watch out!"

Liuli, positioned nearest to Li Hao, witnessed the event and her face paled instantly as she urgently alerted him.

Should Li Hao suffer any harm, the severe penalty from Vice City Lord Qing would inevitably strike them, dashing all chances of acquiring Immortal Skills.

Positioned at the dragon's tail, soldiers from the Dragon-cutting Army and Kun Dragon Army rushed forward aggressively toward the black giant ghost. Unknowing that their Immortal King protector was merely at the First Level of the Immortal King Realm, they assaulted the black giant ghost with the same ferocity as fighters elsewhere.

"Damn!"

Fellow Dragon Shield Tower members observed the situation and their expressions shifted in unison. Long Ying bellowed, "Dragon tail, pull back—activate the Soaring Dragon Transformation Array!"

His intent was to pivot the array to confront the assault from the side, yet a second black giant ghost at the dragon's head burst forth abruptly, gripping the dragon's head firmly even as the array's boundaries cracked and numerous Ancient Demons perished, dragged out from the black giant ghost's "belly." Still, it pressed on with savage force against the dragon's head.

Sensing the immense pressure from the black giant ghost, Li Hao's countenance altered. Without restraint, he unleashed his maximum strength right away!

Powers from the Extreme Realm and Ultimate Realm flared into action, the All Heavens Star Vein materialized, and the dragon's scales took on a violet hue, as if stars had infused them with purple brilliance!

Fierce immortal power amassed like a raging storm, flooding in to let the Dragon-cutting Army and Kun Dragon Army at the dragon's tail draw in this potent immortal energy, boosting their fighting prowess even more!

Next, Li Hao executed the Carving Arts; time flowed like a sharp edge, etching a new level through the essence of years!

Immortal King Realm, Second Level!

Through his etching, his cultivation surged briefly to the Second Level, at the cost of five centuries of life.

To Li Hao, approaching immortality, such a span of existence meant little.

With his cultivation rising, Li Hao's Immortal Vein expanded manifold, his immortal energy exploded upward, and the golden scales along the dragon's tail flared with intense purple radiance, unleashing Dragon Reversal!

Every scale rose erect like deadly edges, while at the same time, Li Hao's True God Blood surged, unleashing a horrifying Control Force that dwarfed even the Immortal King Realm Second Level.

"Dragon Tail Sweep!!"

A deep growl escaped Li Hao as he directed the dragon's tail to lash out savagely at the black giant ghost.

The sequence unfolded in an instant; Li Hao's power surge to his counterblow happened faster than a heartbeat.

Detecting the overwhelming force radiating from Li Hao, Liuli nearby had been on the verge of issuing a frantic warning, but she froze, her mouth agape in stunned bewilderment.

"Hmm?"

Fighters from the Dragon-cutting Army and Kun Dragon Army within the array felt a bit confused, yet they sensed the abrupt influx of rich immortal power and the fearsome presence from their protector Li Hao. Thrilled, they bellowed wildly and charged ahead.

Concentrating all might at that spot, the dragon tail swung hard, and a thunderous crash echoed as the black giant ghost's fist met the tail's blow, splintering apart. The array's barrier on the fist fragmented, hordes of Ancient Demons were pulverized into mush, and others were mangled, barely alive like battered sludge.

"This..."

From the dragon's head, Long Ying beheld the sight and stood momentarily astonished; he'd anticipated the tail crumbling under the Yan Ghost Array's strike, suffering heavy casualties, but astonishingly, Li Hao not only held firm but struck back at the foe!

Right then, while Li Hao's form only projected the Immortal King Realm Second Level aura, his displayed Control Force rivaled the Fourth Level of the Immortal King Realm!

"It held!"

Duan Yuan and his companions gaped in shock, abruptly aware they'd vastly misjudged this Emperor's disciple. Could this be the true depth of an Immortal Emperor's direct follower?

Witnessing the moment, Shi Miao sighed in relief; she understood that should the array fail, Li Hao in his Immortal Armor could endure, giving her opportunity to rush to his support.

"Haotian, secure the dragon's tail—we'll handle this beast fast!"

Regaining composure, Long Ying sent an urgent transmission to Li Hao.

He surmised Li Hao had employed a forbidden method that wouldn't endure, and though thrilled by the display, he stayed vigilant.

"Alright."

Li Hao replied, then guided the dragon's tail to clash directly with the black giant ghost.

From the fight's outset, Li Hao avoided deploying the Extreme Dao Chaos or igniting his True God Blood outright. Such moves might swiftly vanquish the looming black giant ghost, yet once the Extreme Dao Chaos faded, he'd collapse in fatigue, stripped of battle ability briefly, and not even the endless immortal power of the All Heavens Star Vein could restore him.

Directing the dragon's tail, he allied with the Dragon-cutting Army and Kun Dragon Army for brutal engagement against the black giant ghost, absorbing heavy jolts himself. Luckily, his Immortal Body proved incredibly resilient, mending in moments.

As Li Hao restrained the black giant ghost, Long Ying and Shi Miao poured on their efforts, rapidly tearing into the front black giant ghost's core, dismantling its array. Deprived of the array's shield, countless Ancient Demons were torn asunder by Shi Miao's talons, splattering the emptiness with vast crimson fog!

Within that horde of Ancient Demons lurked many at the Immortal Lord Realm, yet amid this immense warzone, they flickered out like fleeting sparks.

Yet no sooner had they felled the black giant ghost than, before the Divine Dragon could wheel around to assist Li Hao, a pair of additional black giant ghosts barreled in, slamming into the dragon's flanks.

"Haotian, endure just a bit more!"

Long Ying's face twisted as he hastily called out to Li Hao.

Li Hao nodded in agreement; he hadn't anticipated rescue but aimed to join the tail forces of the two armies in annihilating the black giant ghost.

Drawing on the Reverse Time Realm's might, he threw off the black giant ghost's onslaught, creating only slight offsets that still aided the fray greatly.

Boom!!

Abruptly, far off, the heavens trembled violently.

Shock gripped Li Hao and the rest; the quake resembled the firmament splitting and the cosmos crumbling!
